> Finding Uranus analogues would also be particularly challenging since we cannot expect to ever confirm one using telescopes, given that a Uranus orbit takes ~84 years and you need to observe at least 3 full orbits to confirm a planet.

Only if you use the transit method.

We have a candidate detection for a gas giant similar to Neptune directly imaged with an orbit slightly larger than Earth's at Alpha Centauri (but it hasn't been observed for long enough to confirm and needs follow-up observations).

If we're getting candidate detections now with our current capabilities, then it only gets better over time. Even in the next 1-3 decades.

Cheaper and larger rockets means larger space telescopes. More time also means better sensors and better noise processing algorithms. Perhaps even interferometry in space.

There's also, quantum telescopes (which are orders of magnitude more powerful than traditional mirror based telescopes) which we'll be trying to scale up as we move ahead.

So presumably you agree that a corporation is perfectly entitled to set completely arbitrary rules about how their platform is used? Even if it causes some of their potential customers to abandon them?

After all, if there's sufficient demand then a competitor will spring up that relaxes some of those arbitrary rules and eats their lunch.
I don't have a lot of experience with huge cities, thankfully. Paris is around ten million people, right? Are other big cities this rude to strangers?

I can think of a few examples: Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh, and Bangkok, where I found people quite friendly, and London, where people are close to but not quite as unfriendly as Paris. But that's the extent of my experience.

At least with AMD GPU, an easy way to do it is to check usage of VCN.

Something like this (assuming your GPU index is 0):

You should see there:

I don't think that's quite right. In Lewis's thesis, you only really encounter the in/out question by interacting with people who are in. By your definition, interacting on HN puts you in already. And "and have participated semi-regularly in discussions without getting banned" is a much lower bar than anything Lewis is talking about. You'd have a much better point w.r.t. lobste.rs or other invite-only forums, but the whole concept is dubious without private discussions.

My experience from Spain is about fifteen years ago, so I will concede that maybe I was unlucky, or maybe things have changed there.
Absolutely -- but I'm talking about signalling your intent to make a joke.

Obviously the less overt signalling you can get away with, the better the joke is for those who get it. But if you provide so little that people confuse the joke for genuine ignorance, the joke isn't working as well as it could. I'm not the official joke arbiter by any means, but I did read your comment and think about whether you intended this specific joke, and concluded that you probably didn't.
One of the benefits of being so incredibly unbelievably wealthy, pay no rent to live in many people’s heads AND buy a letter of the alphabet. Personally I would have chosen Z but with the line through the middle. X is too edgey for me. X is associated with sex, drugs, rock and roll and death. Z is my favorite, calm, pleasant to pronounce and rarified. I enjoy seeing it out in the wild when it decides to make a foray.

I know he’s owned the domain for a while but still now X is becoming his. Side note; I only started understanding Twitter after musk bought it. Can’t say my life is for the better but I can see some of the use of it. - Z

when i hire people i look for those that have learned at least two programming languages. because learning the first language is somewhat hard. the second one is hard too, mostly because you think it's going to be as hard as the first one. but once you learned it you realize that it's really mostly the same, and from then on learning most languages is easy. same goes for frameworks

I feel like this was true 10 years ago, but not now. But maybe it's just that Walmart has figured it out since I've been primarily buying groceries from Walmart for the past 10 years. It's so good that I actively avoid aisles with an employee. I rarely ever have a problem.
I nearly always prefer self checkout, but let's get real, the problem is not "corporate squeezing every last penny". As the article points out, it's extremely difficult to make up the personnel savings due to shoplifting losses. For example, at grocery store, my guess is that stores take tons of losses from people swiping organic foods as conventional. And given how brazen shoplifting has gotten in tons of places over the past 3 years even when there are clerks around, it makes it really hard for the math for self-checkout to work.
it's not about arriving "on time", it's about telling approach what they needed early so approach can fit the request into their plan. and, at least according to the initial video, they didn't until they were being given vectors for the approach.

I might be missing something but doesn't this give you net worse security, because it allows running any arbitrary command with zero confirmation or authentication.

Sudo by default requires users to authenticate with their own password to perform the action (with a grace period for multiple invocations in the same shell within a given timeframe)

This also seems like it would then allow those same users to ssh directly to root from a remote connection (ie consider users who ssh to their own account on a machine and need sudo on it; this then allows them to ssh straight to root)
I think it's not as small as you think. I have a macbook but mostly use Linux and an android phone. I think a lot of people just get what they want to use at the time and that means touching a variety of ecosystems.

You're looking for DNS rebinding protection, many DNS servers support it. However there are some cases where things do use private IPs in DNS records outside of the local domain, one example is Plex (e.g. https://support.plex.tv/articles/206225077-how-to-use-secure... suggests turning off DNS rebinding protection) -- although in some cases you can allow particular domains which is a much better way than turning it off entirely.

(See also the sibling comment about microsoft.com being IPv6 only as a result of a particular implementation of DNS rebinding protection: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38704159)
I'm curious why conveyor belt type systems (like the ones at airports) with vision based checkout aren't a thing. Multiple camera angles could prevent customers from trying to sneak stuff through. For additional security some sort of turnstile could be added to prevent the customer from access the groceries until payment has been verified.

The floor area would be larger than a self checkout station but the throughput would likely be much higher and be a better customer experience. Self checkout stations seem much more amendable to casual shoplifting since its hard to see what the customer is doing.
Are you Australian? After "beaut" your whole comment flipped to an Aussie accent.
> He may have coined the term but that does not mean he owns it.

Certainly not, but there is no redefinition that is anything more than gobbledygook. Look at the very definition you gave: That's not a unique or different way to write tests. It's not even a testing pattern in concept. That's just programming in general. It is not, for example, unusual for you to use an alternative database implementation (e.g. an in-memory database) during development where it is a suitable technical solution to a technical problem, even outside of an automated test environment. To frame it as some special unique kind of test is nonsensical.

If we can find a useful definition, by all means, but otherwise what's the point? There is no reason to desperately try to save it with meaningless words just because it is catchy.

> Like in most arts, New York has the big spectacle (the Met Opera and Carnegie Hall), but in classical music it has a lot less less depth.

Pull up the classical music listings in NY and in any of those other cities, or all of those other cities combined. It's really not true in any sense. Let's not forget all the musicians in NY, the top music school (Julliard), etc etc etc.

> In terms of old artworks, New York has the biggest collection of old works in the US, but Paris, Barcelona, London, and Rome are all huge and probably more notable. In terms of new art, LA is the place to be (in the US).

I'm pretty sure that if you want to be an artist - making 'new art' - NY is the place to be, probably in the world. But yes, some other global cites in Europe and Asia are good too. Of course Europe has more 'old art' - that's where much of it came from.
I've seen school kids get LLMs to do their homework assignments for them. They don't care about them not doing math well. They just use them for what they're good for. Then they use other apps to paraphrase/simplify the writing so it looks more natural.

The code to do the disc swap was intentionally obfuscated. If it was really meant for a tech demo, why keep it in the retail build? If it was accidentally left in, why hide it? I feel like the most obvious answer is that a developer wanted a personal backdoor for playing pirated games. Another possible answer is that having the backdoor would allow the developer to get around paying for debug consoles ($5k at the time) that can play test builds off CD-Rs. You could buy like 16 retail consoles for the price of a single debug unit.
Certainly just some automation bug, perhaps a few things strung together, like a dev environment setup that leaked into production. A human in the loop making a mistake probably as well.

This is the kind of thing you look at and put up a few guardrails to prevent it happening again.
I remember it sometimes being in the options menu and sometimes not (and sometimes showing up but disabled). Maybe there were a different combination of versions or graphics cards that produced those different results. Perhaps earlier versions hid the option if your graphics card didn't support it, and later versions showed it but grayed it out.

Your clarification was provided based on baggage from discord that isn't talked about on the video at all.

The video never said that it would "make copies of the game impossible to obtain for reasonable prices" or that it would have killed the console.

You also said:
> healthy dose of misleading information here (emphasis mine).

Charitably, "here" could be read as either the video or the HN thread, but since neither contain those points, I agree that your comment came off as dismissive since it reads as strawmanning both the video and the contents of this thread based on stuff that's happened on discord in order to swoop in with a correction that wasn't needed.

Otherwise, your post contained useful additional information.

Based on my own interests, the interesting thing in the video is indeed the points that the poster raised, namely how procedure used for multi-disc games got past Sony QA despite being a single disc game, which could have been flagged through scanning of the APIs called. (Presuming there weren't other genuine uses for the same API call outside of multi-disc games, which I'd be happy to learn about).
TFA cites a much more satisfying since technically substantial distillation of "what C++ is", especially regarding technical goals and technical philosophy: the "Direction for ISO C++" document, 2022, by core members of the ISO C++ committee. [1]

Calling Jan 6th an insurrection is a joke.

I Don't Like Trump - didn't vote for him.
AND even though I am politically conservative for the most part, I don't care if Trump is on the ballot or not. He is an agent of Chaos.

But if you are paying attention at all, you realize that Jan 6th was nothing more than a idiotic attempt at a protest. Insurrection? gimme a break smh ...what a laughable characterization.
The liberal power brokers know it's a lie, they just sit in their high towers and laugh at the sheeple that buy what they sell.

The political lawfare being waged against Trump is eventually going to get turned back around and used against liberals. When that happens, libs will throw tantrums and scream like babies, yet i will feel no sorrow for their plight. Only sadness and shame that my country has fallen so far.

And if you're wondering which way i lean? So far, RFK Jr is the only viable option I'll consider and it's unlikely we'll see anything better this time around.

To be fair, sometimes simply some of us live in low-trust areas and/or micro-cultures and the machines have to be set to correspondingly annoying compensatory configurations. While I suspect Japan doesn’t have widespread scan-as-you-shop or Amazon Go/Fresh for cultural acceptance reasons, I’ve noticed the areas I’ve seen these in my travels have generally been what I would characterize as high trust. High agency, high trust cultures are quite a breath of fresh air to immerse oneself within, though I’m curious to see the flip side of that “grass is greener” sentiment.
> Even before written language, storytellers decided what oral traditions they would or would not pass on, changing it each time they told it. Replace "social media" with "broadcast networks" or "newspapers" or "scientific journals" and it is the same issue.

This is not the same thing. Pre-social media/pre-Internet I was not clueless about whether my communications with my "friends" were being received because almost every channel I had available to me was synchronous and there was much less noise.

Now, social media presents a broadcast interface and many people assume that their posts are being displayed to their friends. This is not actually the case. When your friends don't respond, you don't know if it's because your friends have stopped caring about you, they're just not interested in what you said, or some algorithm decided to hide you from them---and most people probably do not seriously consider the latter most of the time.

Whether we need intermediaries or not is one question, but whether we need feedback in our communication is settled: we do, and we leave it to the whims of algorithms optimized for engagement to our peril.
Without watching the video referenced in the article, I'm guessing this was based on what they theoretically could do, rather than something that they had actually implemented.

They currently only use the load cells for bed leveling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7ETSVu04ao&t=940s

I could be wrong, but I would expect that the load cell readings would be far too noisy in order to determine the height of the nozzle while printing. Even if they were accurate, different materials would also behave differently due to different viscosities.

You have a signal that has noise, and the goal is to get eliminate the noise.

In 200 years the goal will be the same, and hopefully we will have a better algorithm of eliminating the noise.
The Greaseweazle V4, using the FluxEngine GUI, allowed me to capture 1,900 Amiga 880K disks in a row. Each disk took 50 seconds under ideal conditions. I absolutely recommend both for homogeneous collections of disks.

Most of the effort was in entering the text of the labels manually or restarting and switching between capture formats when a Mac or IBM disk cropped up. FluxEngine uses the expected format to decide whether the track most recently read contains errors; and if so, re-read the track 3-5 times, quintupling overall read-times.

All that's needed now is a floppy handling robot, a macro for recording the physical disk and label descriptions, and maybe a container format for all the capture products; thumbnails, cover art, metadata, flux images; that emulators and disk utilities can read, and that the community can re-distribute easily.
I quote from the regulation you linked:

> The requirements set out in points 2 and 3 of this Part shall apply to the following categories or classes of radio equipment:

Unless you can convince your local standards authority that the cat water fountain you bought is actually a weird looking portable speaker, I don't think this law applies her.

Unfortunate, really, because USB port really shouldn't use non-standard voltages. I'm sure there's some consumer protection law you could use in court to make the manufacturer pay for damage if they damaged your devices (there are a bunch of "a product should work like you would expect" types of laws sprinkled across consumer protection laws) but I don't think this violates CE standards.

I think not being tied to VAAPI reduces the chain of development (like you don't need to wait for Intel to add something first since they are the primary developers of VAAPI in general).
Regardless of what everyone is saying about the controller, I think the pilots behavior was disrespectful (to both ATC and to the lives of those on their plane) and unprofessional.
