Everyone here is ignoring that Windows 10 was released in 2015 and security update support will end in 2028 — that’s thirteen years of support!

Sure, sure, hardware can last longer than that, but would be hilariously outdated by that point.

For industrial and special-purpose usage such as kiosks or embedded controllers there is the Long-Term Servicing Channel, which will have extended security updates until 2029: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows...

For comparison, there aren’t any other mainstream operating systems with even vaguely comparable support longevity.

Everyone here advising people to install Ubuntu should look at its support lifecycle table: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

The version released in 2015 is already in extended support and will reach EoL in April 2024, just months from now.

I doubt it’ll be a smooth experience installing a 2028 or 2029 version of Ubuntu on a PC made in 2015 or even earlier!
Normalizing the use of the equipment guarantees additional future domestic purchases, subscriptions, and other support revenue.
Not only google and facebook. It's very visible that the amount of divisiveness has been down significantly. Edit: in fact, I don't remember when was the last time I heard the usual divisive lingo.

>You mean the company that wanted to ship CSAM detection for iCloud uploads with iOS

If someone wants to store stuff on YOUR servers YOU get to inspect it for whatever you want for whatever reason you want, arbitrarily and/or capriciously within the terms of whatever agreement you enact with your users. And the law, of course. If you don't want to inspect it, that's fine and that's your business. If you do want to inspect it, that's fine and that's your business.

If users want to keep stuff on their device you don't get to inspect it.

This isn't complicated.
In line with that, it’s crazy to think how portable 8-bits could once be powered off standard AA batteries…
we need higher interest rates.
Something laser-guided if you ask me.

These searches were obtained by serving Google with a search warrant, as it says in the charging documents from which these quotes were ragescreenshotted.
Well, weight is written on package. Not sure if one really expects 3 times more chips for that weight.
Yeah they don't have protected mode. They are working on a language+toolkit to create windowed applications. I guess something like Visual Basic.
Fantastic idea, particularly the 'shit' part IMO.

Realistically can the average person care enough to use this information, to measure value? Possibly some abstraction and scale for more casual comparison would be useful.

Normalising the idea of this kind of data and having a historical frame of reference like this would/could be a pretty solid resource, especially when looking at particular brands.
>what are the odds that Apple would accept a solution that was encrypted on-device?

We probably agree that the odds hover just above 0%

>would Apple still block the interoperation with their network, and do we agree on whether they'd be wrong to?

We could agree in principle that they would be wrong to, _if_ there were a clear path to continuously verifying that a third party client is behaving above board. Unfortunately that's just not the case. AFAIUI, this is still an intractable issue with encrypted communications. Is it an impossible problem? Probably not, but the amount of sustained effort this would require from Apple (and the 3rd parties) seems unworkable. So given that reality (I think), I don't think Apple are wrong to disallow third party clients for their E2E encrypted service.

>The way Apple's messaging has addressed it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth, because they do not make clear that what you point out is the issue

Yeah, I don't disagree here. I can only say that this is par for the course when it comes to Apple's PR. They would basically never explicitly state that their E2E encrypted service is at risk of a MiTM attack due to third party clients. Instead we will get very generic language and be left to fill in the blanks ourselves.
It was a guess in a sense, but a very educated guess. Schrödinger didn’t get lucky, he was hard working, talented and very educated in his field. He was already one of the most revered physicist at the time he came up with the Schrödinger equation.
Tell HN: I reached 30k karma on HN and I'm so happy
Please forgive me for this silly "Tell HN", but I think it is so interesting that in an age full of points and metrics everywhere, the single most gratifying number for me is the karma on Hacker News. Having reached a made-up goal makes me happy. I didn't do anything in particular (or cheaty) to get karma points, but just tried to contribute to this amazing community.

I guess this is an early "Christmas" thought for all of you: thanks for being part of this community, and making me richer every day.
just running my old desktop PC with proxmox.

most important thing for my homelab i ever did was starting to mess around with VMs. first with virt-manager to have a gui, then just plain kvm (actually probably qemu) on the commandline using scripts to auto-install vms, and now a combination of Proxmox and Ansible to make a vm with just a few keystrokes. The freedom of messing around as much as i want without danger of breaking my system is the best.

next most important was setting up dns and dhcp automation - whenever the ansible playbook makes a vm, it immediately reserves a static ip for that mac and makes a DNS entry for that vm's name pointing to it's ip - so i can easily reach all my vm's by name without having to go through the effort of setting that up. great for when a test vm becomes permanent and needs to be accessible. this combined with using ansible to automatically create my user and put my ssh pubkey into it's authorized-hosts file makes everything SO smooth, no friction at all to work on different vm's and experiment.

also, when the ssd proxmox was installed on died, it was super easy to restore all the vm's.

next step is probably automating public dns, port forwarding and reverse proxy settings - so far i am doing that manually, but i just got a new phone and refuse to log into google on it, so i've had to set up a bunch of services, kinda running my own cloud, and they all need port forwards and reverse proxy entries.
speaking of reverse proxy... it's a wonderful tool, set up ssl/https ONCE on it and use certbot to manage certs in one place, and you can test any service by just forwarding it to the vm without ssl, no hassle. for critical things i guess i'd still recommend setting up ssl for your internal network too, defense in depth like.

What's the difference between AI and just pattern matching here?

I mean, you take a data set of how people with X health condition look like, train your model on that set, then the model can, with a certain probability threshold, tell you if other people have X condition as well. But to me, a non-AI average joe programmer, that's more pattern matching, and less AI.

That kind of application was something I remember some colleagues in university were working on over 10 years ago in OpenCV and Tensorflow, using labeled sets of X-rays and CT scans to pattern match conditions for aiding in diagnostics for radiology lab techs, well before the AI explosion.

What am I missing here?
difficult to measure for sure, like the effectiveness of many criminal statues. How effective are the various restrictions on tobacco, and are you passionate and principled that we should lift all those too, because the side effects are less important than personal freedom?
YouTube premium does that too, it did even when it was called YouTube red. As well as hacked versions of the YouTube app that always enable premium features.

What is nice with NewPipe is that it is independent from the YouTube app.

While there's prior associations between retinal photos and autism, I'm by default very skeptical of any AI algorithm purporting "100% accuracy". It smells like data leakage.

I would bet that even physicians aren't 100% consistent in their diagnosis of autism. If that's the case, then it should be more or less impossible for any other diagnostic approach to be 100% consistent with the physician diagnoses.

Edit: After reading the study closer, this criticism might be a bit harsh. In their autism subjects, they excluded those with mild/moderate autism. Limiting to severe cases should mean there's a higher degree of confidence/consistency in the diagnoses.
I couldn't find any confirmation that they tested on out of sample ASD populations.
The standard version is a TU-wide flag which doesn't help with headers. And it seems like the proposal here is to change the standard so that those legacy constructs are outright rejected. So my question was, if you're going to change the default in the standard, why not provide a per-header escape hatch for old code?
It's not even on device AI, so that's really no excuse.
"Application" depends purely on enforcement and the discretion of (a) the arresting officer, and then (b) the justice system further down the line.

You can't deny that the WoD and cannabis prosecutions in particular have disproportionately targeted African Americans and other minorities.

Yes, it seems like they aspire to be a PaaS for AI applications, which is ostensibly why their focus is Python/FastAPI.
Why is this being downvoted? Seems informative to me.
It will probably set the stage for it.
Ask HN: What are your favorite newsletters at the moment?
I asked a similar question some time back and discovered many fantastic recommendations in the comments. I think it's not a bad idea to repeat it from time to time, so here we are! Let's start with the ones I currently recommend:

https://www.pragmaticengineer.com/ - industry insights.

https://www.workspaces.xyz/ - people sharing their home office setup incl. photos.

https://leaddev.com/ - leadership stuff.

https://bigtechdigest.substack.com/ - all recent tech articles from companies' engineering blogs.

https://hackernewsletter.com/ - weekly hackernews summary nicely split into categories.

https://www.ben-evans.com/ - product and business around tech with nice deep dives.
100% of my youtube use on mobile is via newpipe and I love it. On the desktop it's all command line, but I can't agree that newpipe is a waste of time.

One of the features new pipe offers that I only started using is the ability to "subscribe" to channels. I never log into youtube, so subscriptions are client side only. They're basically just a list of bookmarks, but newpipe can also go out and pull down a listing of new videos from the channels I'm subscribed to and i can categorize those channels into groups. It's extremely useful!

Newpipe does occasionally stop working, but it's been many months since it last happened. When it does happen, it's never newpipe's fault. Blame google (who sometimes intentionally tries to break things), but when that happens the command line usually still works and updates are pretty fast.

My only complaint really is that sometimes new pipe will clear a long list of queued downloads. I'm not sure what triggers it, but it can be difficult to go back and track down what was queued up. For all I know, that's been fixed in this new update
Um, any place they sell prepaid phones and prepaid cards? Walmart, Kroger, Meijer, etc.
You are making a claim then saying you don't have to back it up while making another dubious claim.

Among synthetic opioid–involved overdose deaths in 2016, almost 80% involved another drug or alcohol, such as: another opioid, heroin, cocaine, prescription opioids, benzodiazepines, alcohol, psychostimulants, and antidepressants.

Yeah, I was totally flabbergasted.. Seeing an old rusty MSX of almost 40 years old pulling off multitasking. They had quite a few apps and games (even the z80 doom haha).

I talked to one of the members for a while.

So basically they use none of the BIOS, so it's purely Z80, which makes it super portable.

They do have different drivers for different videocards. So some configurations work faster than others. I saw a stock MSX and one with some videocard, but I can't remember exactly. The stock one was slow with redrawing at times, but the other one was very smooth.
Not a parent, but I think this may be still substantial.

I was given a tablet when I was around 12 years old, and a mobile phone around 14 or 15 years old. I had no internet restrictions, and no time limits. As a kid, I had used the family desktop computer sometimes, and used a Nintendo DS sometimes, but it really wasn't the same.

Even being given access at such a late age compared to toddlers with iPads, I still think it killed my attention span and willpower to resist short-term temptation. I wasted a lot of time browsing stuff on social media and YouTube, and I'm still dealing with it today.

I think, regardless of what age you let your kids use it, you'll have to communicate to them somehow the importance of responsible usage. It's like alcohol, I think.

I bought an old rackmount server from a colleague who had in turn bought a bunch in an auction.

I lived in New York City at the time and had to physically carry the server for about 20 blocks home from the train station. The entire way home I though "Man, this thing is HEAVY"

I then got home, plugged it in and realized it was LOUD. I though "I know, I'll disconnect all the fans". Turns out even with all of the fans disconnected it was still the loudest thing in the apartment.

I ended up ditching that server and just buying a refurbished small form factor HP desktop machine. That worked great, was quiet and ran find until a Hurricane Sandy related power surge fried it.
It's also just plain necessary as human knowledge gets more and more complex. The more time you spend on learning, the less time you have to actually make use of that knowledge. Ars longa, vita brevis.
I’ve been using iA Writer for this exact purpose. A place to quickly dump text I don’t want to lose or quickly create drafts I don’t want to accidentally send.

I’m not sure whether blocks would be better than just separate files, which can be created quickly using Cmd+N.

However, the lack of syntax highlighting in iA writer has been less than ideal, so I’m definitely trying this out!

The reason you can say that there is no consequential difference being illustrated here is precisely because he recorded that difference. It's just data collection, it's not shady unless they hide the numbers and still draw the conclusions for you.
FTP: Findings - In this diagnostic study of 1890 eyes of 958 participants, deep learning models had a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 1.00 for ASD screening and 0.74 for symptom severity. The optic disc area was also important in screening for ASD.

Aside from his basic 8-bit CPU, Ben Eater goes into how transistors work too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXvAlwMAxiA . Once you've got transistors, his videos walk you through making gates. Once you've got gates, he switches to the 74xx series and builds a CPU.
Why do you think it takes that much land to feed an entire (average[1]) family?

Besides plants, you could have animals, and get milk and meat from them. Chickens for eggs and meat too.

It doesn't take too much land for it in my opinion. And if you live in a community that does that sort of thing, you could trade meat for tomatoes, and vice versa, or whatever, without relying on megacorps to give you your calories

Localism is the way

another vote for Unison, been using it for about a year for practically everything and it's great. takes a moment to grasp the concept, but it's 100% worth it.

that said, i haven't managed to set it up for my android phone yet - it's not available in termux and i have NO idea where to start if i'd like to package it myself. probably has to be done by someone who knows ocaml, since termux' environment is so different from normal linux.

unless... maybe i should give proot a shot (chroot in termux, lets you run something closer to linux). but it's another layer of complexity on top of everything....
Funny, I suppose, that I'm glad people feel they can post here.

The web community has yet to join. They all have accounts with posts from months ago.
This is something so obvious that I don’t understand how I’m the first person I know of to say it: The hand is designed to work with the thumb and fingers in opposition. Therefore, modifier keys should go under the thumbs and the other keys under the fingers. Because the thumb can comfortably and easily oppose each of the four fingers it follows that each thumb should have four available modifier keys spaced to match that natural ergonomic.

The keyboards with a thumb cluster are a step in the right direction. Sadly, the positioning is suboptimal at best, because the design philosophy treats the thumb as just another stronger finger.
I worked in a million customers Fintech where most of the data was in Postgres and it worked great. Wouldn't change anything in that regard if I had to do it again.
AI (LLMs etc) exhibits "emergent behavior" properties. things like reasoning and other higher order effects. It could be mimicry (parrotting or cargo culting) but it seems like there is something that that isn't in a bunch of if/else statements or pattern matching.
Great app. Thanks for making it available.

Is there an option to rearrange blocks using drag-and-drop or a keyboard shortcut?
But if say, one group was more targeted they would have more priors and more multiple charges, isn’t it just a feedback loop?
Every time I think about it, it blows my mind that human beings domesticated and then rode the horse for thousands of years before figuring out that stirrups were a good idea.

Humanity had chariots and horse-drawn war engines and armies that conquered half a continent on horseback but nobody figured out that two leather loops makes you 10x better at riding and fighting from a mounted position. It's not like the technology wasn't there. Saddles had been a thing for thousands of years when someone thought "hey let's make the saddles just a little bit longer, you know, for the feet!"

That's like inventing the firearm and taking ten thousand years to invent the sling.
On the other hand, proofing your UK address to the council, bank or literally anyone, is one of the most mind numbing things ever... speaking as a German.
At the moment, Ceph is a tangential storage solution only used for testing (the bulk of my pods use Longhorn), but yes, that’s what it does – Proxmox sets up Ceph on the NVMe drives on its nodes, and then exposes the pool over RBD to VMs when you add a disk. In that regard, it’s very much like EBS from the perspective of the VM.

Nothing stops me from shifting to Ceph for existing workloads, but I have it in my head that I need to shift the K8s hosting to Talos first. I have used it successfully to run MySQL and Postgres instances FWIW. Never had any issues with either of those, even with abrupt VM shutdowns.

A VM, if set up as HA, can be live-migrated to a different node to perform maintenance with zero downtime. If the node just goes away, of course, you can’t do much about that.

I confess I haven’t used Ceph heavily while dropping a node, so unfortunately I can’t give you a good answer on that behavior, other than ensuring that you have adequate bandwidth for both Ceph and Proxmox. I know they both say 10G networks are preferable. FWIW I have a completely separate switch (UniFi Flex Mini) for Proxmox’s corosync; in theory the main switch would be fine, but for an extra $30 I had more peace of mind.
Apple has released os updates that have specifically targeted Safari issues. Usually point z releases as needed like big bugs and security fixes. Still not as ideal but it’s better than before.

Mind you the version string in Safari might not change as well. Gotta look at the build number.
From Ohio. Can't speak for Missouri, but the reality here is that like most states, it's a rural-urban divide more than a "the whole state is red." Ohio has a solid red majority, especially in the legislature, but the cities are very blue and there are plenty of moderates. So I think those groups passed it, but you could see the conservative legislators were none too happy about it and were going to fight implementation tooth and nail, just like they'd like to do with abortion protections. There is sadly a pretty strong division as with many issues in this country, but enough of a majority to move the needle at least.

The problem with hjkl as cursor movement in vi is that it cannot be used in all modes so you still have to have and use actual cursor keys.

Fixing a typo in filename when saving is impossible without cursor keys.
If you have and use real cursor keys then having to remember and use hjkl is just not practical.
NordPass does the first part of this—it at least alerts you to breaches and prompts you to change it.

The problem with blaming Congress is that the harms could be easily mitigated by the DEA changing the scheduling, which was my point.

Rumor has it that is in the works, but the fact that it has taken so long starts and ends with the executive office.

That said, Congress decriminalizing it entirely is definitely something that is going to take too long, and will also be entirely the fault of Congress.
