So basically, learning vi was about the same as only having a stickshift car available and wanting to drive it. You learn what you need to learn. And once you get the muscle memory, you actually prefer it even though it's weird and kind of obsolete. I've had to give up on the stickshift, but I'm guessing vi will remain available indefinitely. What incentive for someone to learn vi now? Very little. So it goes.
Implementations with skin in the game are still innovating and improving the 'tried and true' relational database model, IMO. PostgreSQL, MS SQL, MySQL, etc. consistently churn out new features that actually make sense, like FK constraint support for sharded/partitioned tables relevant to this discussion.
Supersampled images are nothing new. I am specifically discussing the fake frames, which is what Nvidia advertises with (imo this is bordering on straight up lies).

Nvidia did slap “Hurr durr AI driven” buzzwords in front of theirs, but supersampling exists super far back. As far as gaming goes, supersampling was probably popularized in super old emulators, particularly zsnes.
The latter. MDM is way ahead on Macs, imho. Intune and Autopilot with Windows 10/11 and Azure are only just now catching up to what MDM and Jamf can do on Macs, or even what Group Policy can do on local devices.

The decommissioning process should generally catch these situations, but it’s not foolproof, and not all organizations have robust decom procedures. A lot of Macs are managed by like a University IT dept, but procured and released by individual departments, for example. The school of business might not bother to notify central IT that they’ve let go of a bunch of old equipment, for example, and if they do it’s in some outdated spreadsheet, so the machines don’t get released properly. Things like that.
Is there something similar than this, but with source code? Papers with great results but without code are frustrating.
To me that seems like an invitation for catastrophic bugs or problems to creep through and surprise you in prod, since the lower envs are running different a different configuration.

I suppose it's entirely dependent on the type of data you're working with though.
>What's the state of MiniLED for gaming/movies?

If it is within your budget, take a look at Sony X95L MiniLED TV. If there was an award for least complained TV set on avsforum in recent history ( if not the whole history ) it would be the X95L.

Although I am eagerly waiting for the 2024 series to see what Sony has to offer in terms of MiniLED.

That it should work flawlessly on Linux. That it should be deployable without any "enterprise application container" or server software that requires specific licensing.

And that it should have first class developer and IDE tooling on every platform.

All of the above are actually true for Go, Rust, Python, PHP, Ruby, NodeJS etc but I'm no so sure that application development and deployment experience on Linux for .NET would be as first class, battle tested and widely documented.

For me, development+deployment for backend services, Linux is non-negotiable.
Are we still talking about a car getting rear ended because it braked? Because you’re meant to leave enough room between you and the car in front to stop safely even if it unexpectedly brakes as hard as possible. Running into the back of a car in front of you (that didn’t just pull out) is always your fault.

It'd be interesting to do a comparison. But to your point, I don't think people use it as much for productivity gains as just the fun of it.

> What’s weirder, to me anyways, is that you talk about open source as if it’s a staple value for you, yet here you are carrying water for commercial SaaS startup. Comparing their efforts to the likes of those who created Pidgin and libpurple.

Beeper has done a ton of open source work on matrix bridges, both themselves and through sponsoring other developers. I don't see how it's out of place to compare them to libpurple devs at all.

But you pay the cost in checking it in the application, as GP said. If so, it simply is moving the cost from db to application layer. Is there a reason the checks can be implemented more efficiently in the application than the DB can?
Quite frankly, the vehicle in front of you is allowed to stop at any time for any reason (legally and practically, as front vehicle has better visibility on road conditions than follower), and it is always incumbent upon the driver to the rear to leave room.

If humans can't do that, the solution is probably more automation.

The problem is trying to show a putative experience curve for nuclear is going to require spending something like a trillion dollars. That's not going to be funded just to show that this time, for sure, the nuclear advocates weren't BSing about how cheap it was going to be.
On the contrary, the prevalence of mental illness and other issues in the population is much higher than 1 in 500 (probably 10x that rate, at least), so while you think this number is high, I don't think it's crazy at all. Many of these people would probably have been forcibly institutionalized in the past (which some people think is better, and others think is worse).

If we forcibly institutionalized the homeless, we would have zero homelessness overnight (but would that necessarily be better?). So judging simply from the numbers can be misleading.

However, the trend of homelessness going up 12% year over year is a real issue, though the proper comparison point would probably be 2019 since there has been a lot of government intervention to artificially lower homelessness over the past couple of years (which might be long-term unsustainable given the budget deficits).
OP here. Sorry you had that experience. I recently started doing it. Prior to the AI images, I got a lot of complaints about a “wall of text”, so I was looking for a way to break it up, but also not invested enough to spend much time on it. AI images gives me a sort of 2-for-1, in that I get decent visuals, as well as accurate alt text. idk, maybe i should back off a bit. Suggestions welcome.
It's basically like saying you're ok with dangling pointers or orphaned records, or that you're awesome enough not to need these "slow", annoying safety features.

That's all fine, but we know how this ends up in reality.

Checking that child records that can exist only if there is a parent record are deleted when the parent is deleted and that the foreign key you're using in a record actually exists in the pointed-to table, for the price of a single index you very likely need anyway, is hardly a problem.

You don't need to cascade deletes or anything, that's a red herring, as is migration issues where you can turn off referential integrity while the process is performed.
I’m just not sure what your point is? That beeper should just be allowed to do this, just because they wanted to?

I don’t have a dog in this fight. I’m an Apple user and I don’t really use iMessage deep enough to have issues talking to Android users.

I’ve just seen Beeper being incredibly entitled about another company’s service that they’re not paying for throughout this whole process.

As a previous startup founder and a developer (which is HN’s primary user-base), I just think it was obvious which way this was going to go.

And saying that making a service closed is equitable to reverse-engineering said service is a weird take. Should every non-public service be allowed to be attacked like this?
Physical possession is a good enough high bar. But remotely enabling this feature with just a serial number sounds incredibly invasive, and a very serious breach of trust.

Even if Apple are "the good guys" (now), we know they can be compelled by governments to do things quietly (see the push notifications thing that came up recently). So simply having the ability to remotely push software or configuration changes to any machine targeted by just a serial number is a big security hole.

This is very disappointing...
He is being met with treatment instead of punishment.

He stole and extorted, assaulted people, and destroyed property and was convicted of actual crimes. They did try to meet him at his level. They released him pending bail and he committed more crimes. He told the court that if they released him he would continue committing crimes. They aren’t sending him to prison though, because he isn’t mentally fit. They are sending him for medical treatment, at no cost to him, until he is determined to no longer be a threat to himself or others.

This seems far more humane than sending a mentally unwell teenager to prison where he certainly wouldn’t get the level of care that he will now.
Is there any country where the regulations are simpler making nuclear cheaper than other options?
> Outside of the western world, phones are more common than computers and easier UIs in general so a phone number is more likely to be their identity.

When I worked at Stripe, we found that far more people lost access to phone numbers than email addresses. And the reason is simple: if you can't pay your phone bill, you lose your phone number.

While going through support tickets to tabulate which auth issues we should focus on, I came across one person who had a Stripe balance that they needed to feed their kid. But they couldn't log in because they couldn't pay their phone bill and had lost their number. The very fine support folks got the situation resolved with other identity checks, but it was a huge wakeup call.

You simply _cannot_ use an identifier that requires ongoing payment for identity purposes. You and I are probably privileged enough to never have to worry about this, but everyone who falls below the lower middle class is entirely vulnerable to losing _everything_ this way.

> you're completely handing off your identity to your email provider. Considering many - looking at you google - are faceless organizations that can and will shut down your access without notice or appeal, you could lose everything.

Versus handing off your phone number to organizations that routinely get socially engineered to transfer phone numbers. This is such a common attack that my mom knows about it. Ironically, the facelessness of most email providers also protects you from having your identity yoinked out from under you by one of their staff: I don't personally know a single person whose had their email turned off as a result of social engineering.
My cheap TCL TV has an instant-on mode, but it does use more power. Phones don't start up instantly from being fully powered off, either.
> In Germany, Twitter is one of few ways to get informed about the war in Gaza. - German media completely ignores the horrors happening there.

You obviously can read and write English well. Germany doesn't, as far as I know, have some kind of national firewall blocking Germans from visiting foreign sites.

You should then be able to read American, Canadian, Australian, and UK media easily. There are also a large number of Arab newspapers in English [1]. And similar in many other countries.

I'd expect channels like those to be more useful than Twitter when it comes to becoming and staying well informed on any major issue.

> I really don't see the point, cross-platform software with multiple binaries is absolutely fine. I've shipped cross-platform software and it's a one time trivial cost to prepare a multi OS pipeline.

That's like people who said "I could do this dropbox thing in a weekend with just rsync, ssh and ftp"

You think you can, but even if you might cover this "one time trivial cost" once, 1) it doesn't scale well so you'll end up not doing it that often 2) most other people can't.

> people with GPUs likely want to use something with better performance

End users like performance, but first they need to be able to use something at all.

If you start with "compile this binary then download this 4Gb file then run that command in this terminal" you've lost 99% of the potential audience

I think you are missing the forest for the tree if you only see a technological hack instead of the change of paradigm it allows.
> The data will very likely outlive the application that created it.

Yeah, if your front end is garbage, you can fix or rewrite it. If your data is garbage, you've lost. Depending on your requirements, of course.
I've never heard of electric being faster at boiling water than gas.

You either have a very poor gas stove or you moved to a much higher elevation where boiling water is just flat-out takes longer.
I came here to ask this. The output was impressive to the point of magic… until they showed whole grids full of fire hydrants and teddy bear training data.
No. It's speed, roadway, and car dependent.

Moreso that my post has a mistake: two second following distance, not car lengths. Brain fart on my part; apologies for causing you to have to find a URL. But as general rules go, that increases the distance as speed goes up. No, it doesn’t account for everything, but good enough for most circumstances.
Might be a performance penalty as well.

We had some missing FK constraints, along with missing cleanup in code for a given table. Some customers had many millions of orphaned rows, while only thousands of live rows.

Not really, there are a number of techniques that are harder (some not possible) on electric which has less control and high latency.

Can confirm. I prefer using Vim because it makes writing stuff fun. Never thought I could ever write for fun.
Then Android users have to download a separate iMessage app for groups involving iPhone users, since they can’t use their default Messages app either and the cycle repeats.

Why can’t everyone in these situations just ask everyone to use one app like WhatsApp? If having good experience was important everyone would be on board.
Wasn’t there proposed legislation that stated cancelling needed to be as easy as signing up? What ever happened to that?
TIL in the context of tools for image editors like gimp, "brush set" is the term of art for "glyph set."

I suppose you could "paint" with these but the intended use is "single-click stamping."

We haven't had any customers confused about it. Seal and Sign are distinctly different words and haven't seen any evidence of confusion.
This whole Beeper situation has increased awareness that the limitations of "green bubbles" are created by Apple, not by Android devices. At least in my small social circle there seems to be a change in perspective about the problem.
MSN and AIM were not open or public APIs

AOL / ICQ's proprietary Protocol (ICQ moved to it after being acquired by AOL): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSCAR_protocol

I don't really care to look up the details of MSN, but at the time Microsoft was not "open" friendly by any means.

A similar issue on Windows will be a license key stored in UEFI that is tied to a company. A clean install will find that key and ask you to login with your company email and password. You can get around it by not being online during setup, but you're out of luck if you don't know that trick.
I read comments along this vein every time an article on Waymo (or self driving cars) comes out, and my question is who cares? Even if it is just the sunny easy locations that get this advance, that’s hundreds of deaths and injuries avoided every year. I understand being pragmatic and practical but we should celebrate this news IMO.
Can't see how that would go well if two devices have the same serial number.
I strongly believe the opposite. Your business IS your database. How do you handle access to the data without access to the data?

It is inevitable that 2 "organizations" will at some point need access to the same data. You could just have each of them decide how they interact with it. It doesn't matter how they do it because the database itself makes sure invariants are kept true (such as FKs).

What's the alternative?
Well if you read the article instead of rushing to write "Nonsense!", to feel like a superior hacker, you would know that the victims were children and young adults a while ago. Let's hope kids today get better advice!
I thought Mixtral required 34GB of RAM to run at that quantization?

Yet RAM requirements aren't mentioned anywhere (in your links).
That's true, but managing the "soft" referential integrity becomes a big authorization/security headache. How do you prevent/allow "deleted" objects from being accessed indirectly?

I like Django's ORM approach which allows you to easily set baseline filters for your Model Managers, so you can implicitly exclude "deleted" objects from most queries.
> You’re comparing companies who had open and public APIs and then closed them, with one that was never open to begin with.

I don’t see that as a false equivalency. Plus AOL IM, MSN and ICQ weren’t open either.

> I can be wrong here, but I don’t recall any of those efforts trying to charge people $2/mo for using their creation.

There’s been plenty of 3rd party clients for Twitter and Reddit that weren’t free. They were seen as the good guys when those apps broke after Twitter and Reddit decided they didn’t want 3rd party app support.

> iMessage clients on iOS and macOS aren’t web containers

I agree but iMessage is the exception in that regard. Pretty much every other messaging app on iOS and Android (and even desktop applications too) are little more than Electron or web views.

> What’s weirder, to me anyways, is that you talk about open source as if it’s a staple value for you

It’s not. My comment there was that Android, iOS and macOS are all built upon open source technologies. Yet things are more closed than ever. I just find that a little ironic.

> This, however, was a bit different. For starters Beeper tried to monetize it, it being someone else’s services and resources.

I saved this to the end because I do actually completely agree with you on this. At least they’ve done the right thing now and open sourced Beeper. But it should never have been a commercial product to begin with.
Sure, but the quality of DLSS (and AMD's FSR2) has generally been much better than previous super sampling solutions, and this is borne out in virtually all independent testing of the feature. Supersampling algorithms in old emulators are not great in comparison.
100% accurate elsewhere.

Who is auditing Beeper's code for security issues? How big is their security team and their response SLA? How are they encrypting messages at rest? How much money are they prepared to spend on attorneys to defend these stances against various governments? What can their servers see, what do those servers retain? etc etc

Apple makes commitments about encryption and security, shown in-app via message colors, that Beeper has no right to subvert.
That's just a policy choice. There's no law of physics that makes an electric heat pump cost more.
I suspect this is being brought up in an attempt to demonize and pump up this guy's hacking skills to reduce the embarrassment of targeted companies but also of police. He presumably was in police custody at the time and they were meant to deny him internet access, but weren't competent enough to understand that these devices can be rooted & turned into a general-purpose computer. Therefore, rather than admitting this (obvious) mistake, they're trying to make it sound like installing a chrooted Linux environment or RDP/SSH client on such a device is some advanced hacking skill.

I think that the poster is implying that many of the same people who describe themselves as Pro-Life also support the death penalty, are huge supporters of having a huge U.S. military (much bigger than needed for territorial defense, so obviously it is going to be used for other things), and are often loudly pro-gun (the argument here is that a gun is offensive, not defensive, so anti-life). Squaring these positions with the description Pro-Life can be a little odd.

While it is a little unfair to over-simplify this way, many Trump supporters are Pro-Life, and those same people seemed to enjoy and support his recent comments:
"Very simply: If you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store".

You can make a position that the thieves he was talking about have given up their right to life in a way that a fetus can not, but I think there is also an argument that this view can not be squared with a Pro-Life designation. I find my own opinion somewhere in the middle, but closer to the latter.
I guess it is great marketing. I didn't even know they had a bleeper cloud offering.
The typical counter to this is that they’re bullied by Apple users (and some go even as far as to claim Apple pushes users to bully non-users, which is of course ridiculous).

The answer to the bullying is to end relations with people who are childish like that.

And where it pertains children, you need to seek the solution elsewhere. Children bully each other not just for bubbles, but also for clothing, toys and other stupid stuff that doesn’t have an easy scapegoat to blame instead of employing solid parenting and teaching.
I guess I’m the only one here that remembers BBM. That was before WhatsApp, Signal, RCS, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, or any of the other options we have today. It was also one of the few ways to message someone internationally without paying for international texts.

People wanted to be on BBM, but you couldn’t without both a BlackBerry and having BBM services activated on your cell plan (often for a premium).

Iirc, BB Messenger was centralized and managed all accounts (email, sms, BBM) and could upgrade sms to BBM if contacting another blackberry user. RIM was sitting on a gold mine but they didn’t use it right and then released BBM on Android (and iPhone, I think) only after the world had moved on and no one cared.

Sure, many atrocious acts are fantastic business decisions. Slavery? Great for business. Massive ROI. Incredibly evil.
