I'm confused. Why is the cosmological constant then also called dark energy if it's not equivalent to there being some energy in empty space?

I'm more concerned about the possible write endurance and long-term durability of the data. I've had more than one 512GB SD card fail recently despite not owning them for long.
I have noticed this tendency in development, where creators write some open alternative to a service, but nowhere in their README have any description of what the alternative they are providing actually does.

So if you don't know the product or service it is an alternative to, you are just out of luck.

I wonder if it is intentional, or just devs being to deep into deving

Thanks for the suggestions! When you LaTeX your work to turn in, do you work only with the source, or do you have a good way to read the PDF output? I agree the amount of LaTeX needed for calculus is pretty minimal.

One of my students was taking chemistry at the same time, which is (I think) much tougher for blind students. But they also had more teaching assistants for the course.
I talk with my friends with Androids just fine over Signal, WhatsApp, and several other apps. They haven’t expressed any pressure to switch.

Let’s look at the input required for each, in the context of computer-aided music production.

‘Generated’ music: typing a prompt and pressing the RETURN key (time required: ~10 seconds)

‘Made’ music: thinking about melody, harmony and rhythm and writing down or programming in each from scratch. Choosing sounds and MIDI instruments. Experimenting with different effects, tweaking every parameter precisely and playing around (using your ears for feedback) until you find something you like. Finally, mixing the tracks together so the whole thing sounds cohesive. (time required: ~1 hour, min.)

To me, it seems hard to confuse the two processes.

You may very well argue that the ‘AI’ is doing something analogous to human music production (well… architecturally it isn’t, but you could at least argue it’s equivalent in some sense), but arguing that the human who typed the prompt ‘wrote the song’ seems to be… to put it lightly, rather overstating it.

While it was a bit of a marvel to put an entire pop song onto an 880k disk, the not-so-hifi sound quality was already apparent back then. I guess they forgot to switch off the low pass filter by turning off the power LED.
Engine computers can easily be reprogrammed to make the engine run at all sorts of different operating bands. You could easily detect state emissions equipment, since it must pull information from the ECU. To me- these devices are either pre-programmed operating modes that produce clean emissions but the vehicle would not operate under this tune (emissions testing is often not under load) and so once back on the road, returns to the original operating mode. OR, entirely fake modules created to trick emissions systems without altering the operating mode.

> We've been hearing many awesome stories about the next thing Apple will do, only to realize their marketing team chose to keep it for future iOS/MBP/iPhone generations to keep the profits high.

I believe it's more likely we've heard awesome stories about things Apple will do in the future, only to realize that the average HN commenter is incapable of understanding that such stories are contextless leaks, and that it is far more likely you are operating with incomplete information than Apple's "marketing team" is holding things back for future "iOS/MBP/iPhone generations" to keep their profits high.

I know it's more fun to vomit dumb conspiracies onto the internet, but consider changing "realize" to something which conveys equivocation, because your theory about Apple's marketing team holding back mature technology in order to benefit future devices – in addition to being predicated on leaks and rumors, and risibly inane when you consider that such action would create a significant attack vector for competitors – is as equivocal as the belief that Trump is on a secret mission to destroy a global cabal of pedophiles.

I haven’t had a chance to fully explore the new features and there are probably still some sharp edges, but the addition of non-copyable types and borrowing/consuming bindings in Swift 5.9 should bring it a lot closer to Rust in those respects, especially the hermeticity aspect.

I'm willing to answer your questions, but I just didn't understand that last one. Anyway it sounds like we are probably in agreement. I recognize the world to be complex and that there are many parties with different interests. My point only was that Google is willing to support narrow and even inaccurate narratives at the behest of those willing to pay them lots of money.
To be clear, I absolutely do as well. I'm wondering about other possibilities, but I am ecstatic that this all is going as well as it is.

Maybe they aren’t “decades ahead” but they’re examples of Apple being slow to market, launching very competitive products years after the market was established.

E.g. assuming Apple Vision launches soon, they’ll be “many years behind” Quest from the date of first launch, but most likely miles ahead as far as usability.

Yeah the Commander X16 isn't the most affordable, but I think it's the most accurate 'retro' machine. Specifically the custom VERA graphics hardware works in ways analogous to the machines of the time with various tile or bitmap modes and sprites. It's also in the 'batteries included' camp with lots of software support to get right into writing programs rather than lower-level tinkering.

There's even a full emulator[0] available so you can hack with friends who don't have one, or share your creations to run in the emulator.

Of course this is all academic: the file size depends on the codec, ie how much you want to trade power for space. YT/Netflix/etc obviously trade for file size very well. But a body-worn device isn't as capable.

Take the Axon Body 2 as an example, the gold standard for police bodycams. According to its specs [0] it'll record 12 hours of 1080p video on its 64GB internal storage.

So using H.264 it produces 64gb/12hr == 5.333 (repeating of course) GB/hr, making 2TB / 5.333GB == 375 hours, or about 15.625 days

This article was posted to HN today, in 2023!
I think you're touching on various different issues like fraud, false advertising, racism, etc. so there's no clear answer. You would need to pick a specific case for someone to weigh in on.

The Wikipedia article on freedom of speech in Brazil is a good starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech_in_Brazil

It's not a particularly well-written article, but it does lay out the key article from the constitution (article 5) and the various articles in the penal code and the anti-racism law (which is a specific law!) regarding freedom of speech.

Additionally, Article 3, paragraph 4 of the Constitution is key. It's placement at the very top of the constitution, if not legally meaningful, feels politically meaningful to me:

Art. 3 The fundamental objectives of the Federative Republic of Brazil are:

I. to build a free, just and unified society;

II. to guarantee national development;

III. to eradicate poverty and substandard living conditions and to reduce social and regional inequalities;

IV. to promote the well-being of all, without prejudice as to origin, race, sex, color, age and any other forms of discrimination.

So the proof of the pudding to me as a layman is whether whatever form of speech you used qualifies as "prejudice as to origin, race, sex, color, age and any other forms of discrimination"
Yeah, what? I'm using Google Chrome, the most popular browser in the world and its giving me this nonsense.

I would like that mode exclusively for the test suite to use. That way you start writing your tests, and if there's a borrowck error You delay that until the test runs. If it runs, and then it fails when accessing data, you can give more information to the programmer about the failing case. If it runs successfully, you just fail that one test with the borrowck error. I would love it if we could have something akin to prop test for borrowck so that even the test isn't needed.
"Oh actually the Enlightenment was bad" is very on-trend for academic historians in 2023.

The book isn't out yet, but the synopsis here seems like the author is projecting his bias onto history (claiming "the pursuit of happiness" is just about consuming luxury goods is moronic).

Arguing that the decline of religion lead to a rise in nationalism might be true, but that doesn't mean the previous religious structures didn't deserve to be corrected.
More likely and easier scenario: instead of hijacking, brick the cars.

Cars have become computers with a different form factor. I'm not confident that automakers can keep their SW/FW stack up to date and secure, given their complex supply chains, scrambling to build products that are new to them, while competing with big tech to retain SW engineering talent.

Our textbook of choice didn't have a braille version, so we sent it out to be converted one chapter at a time. Since textbooks don't change often, a turn-around of weeks is not so bad if we knew the students were going to be in the course.

What would be very useful for me to be able to typeset myself are small things -- homework, quizzes, and (to a lesser extent) exams. Since homework and quizzes often have to adapt to what I actually covered in class, which may or may not match the syllabus, it's hard to rely on sending this out to be typset by others. (Exams are a little easier since they're usually done days ahead of the actual date.)

AFAIK Nemeth is the only standard that matters. If I can typeset a document, send it to the student, and they can get it on a braille display (no need for this to be on paper), it would solve a ton of problems.
Is there something similar for Emacs?
Thanks for writing this up — that's a really interesting perspective on the problem, and definitely worth pondering. I'm not familiar with the underpinnings of cross-country payments so I'll just take your description as valid.

I think it's not completely incompatible with my view, though: if you don't have a country B subsidiary (the assumption underlying this entire discussion!) then the most country B can do is tell the payment processing company you're contracting with to stop doing business with you. That's completely fair and I see it as a kind of "financial firewall" for country B.

Even this power is subject to some checks and balances, though:
1. If your service/site is popular, country B's population may object to no longer being able to do business with you and put pressure on country B's government.
2. You could bypass the financial system with crypto payments. (Yeah, not terribly practical for most use cases, but could become more popular in case of government overreach.)
3. Ad-supported businesses — like the one in the original article, apparently — are immune to this kind of intervention!

Ultimately, a country can only control entities with a physical presence inside its borders, and while some common commercial architectures necessitate this (to some degree) not all do. Countries that make laws that pretend otherwise just end up looking silly.
> And it's not always a reactionary act. It's sometimes for pragmatic reasons - to prevent or curtail a non-ideological issue.

Literally all of the examples in #Cold_War_era_and_1990s either were explicitly ideological, or seem plausibly likely to have been ideological, and the latter are all along the lines of "Well, they might have had a personal grudge against the author." or "We don't have any idea why they commited arson against a library.". Do you have any specific examples of attempted curtailment of a non-ideological issue? (No, "but our ideology is RIGHT!" doesn't count; denying people that shortcut is more or less the point of free speech.)

Back when phones had micro SD card slots, I would download my entire music library from music streaming services for offline listening.

"realistic" in this case means accepting that CUDA will never be replaced. Parts of it will get replaced (the easy bits, like matrix multiplication), but there are thousands of esoteric CUDA features that don't make financial sense to rewrite. They exist for automotive, robotics/automation, industry, gaming and datacenter customers. Only the AI parts will get rewritten, and even that has taken Apple half a decade.

I hope for alternatives and competition, but that's why I grieve OpenCL. Open CUDA alternatives are the only way you can drive Nvidia's customers away from them; Apple abandoned that dream a while ago. If they were still cooperating with Khronos and the rest of the industry, then there would be hope for dethroning Nvidia.

One last bit

> You certainly could've submitted this during the RFC on hooks. There was a lengthy discussion before the design was finalized (which another commenter mentioned when you posted that comment to HN).

There were RFCs submitted. My conclusion from that entire discussion was that the React team proceeded the way they've decided anyway without providing very convincing explanations and the priorities they had didn't align with most of the community. I believe this is in line with how other Facebook OSS works. React has largely been built with internal clients and their needs in mind. Additionally there seemed to be the desire to continue to be "iconclastic" and innovative and power through criticism in a similar manner that the initial React release did.

That's all perfectly fine, but in my opinion its not what the community needs, and we'de be better off moving on to other solutions (e.g. Solid, Svelte). But more important than that, we need to move on to a different mindset, because without that mindset change we're likely to go through the same problems over and over again.
Around the turn of the century I used to specialise in Solaris contracting, so my homelab back then was mostly old Sun Enterprise gear from Ebay.

Anyway, it was extremely useful for interview prep (aka brush up on specific skills) prior to meeting potential new clients, and also for doing general dev / packaging stuff on.

Let me _try_ to explain it.

One reason is that non-atomic writes can be torn. So if you have a value like 0x00000000 and over write it with 0xFFFFFFFF, some hardware may do it as two separate writes. This means that another thread can read the data when its half way written and get 0xFFFF0000. I'm using a 32bit value here to illustrate In reality modern hardware is unlikely to tear it, but in other cases it may.

Another issue is that what you are writing may depend on something else. Consider this code:

x = 42;
p = &x;

these two operations are independent, and a compiler, CPU or memory system could chose to execute them in any order. This means that even if the second operation is "atomic" and another thread can only read the before or after value of p, another thread could read p and access it, before 42 is written to x. This is why the p = &x; needs a "release" barrier that guarantees that everything before it is completed before the change to p happens.

Atomics are complex due to the way modern computers optimize and this is just a very surface level explanation. Still, I hope this helps.
