What is old is new again:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-100_bus

> Power supplied on the bus is bulk unregulated +8 Volt DC and ±16 Volt DC, designed to be regulated on the cards to +5 V (used by TTL ICs), -5 V and +12 V for Intel 8080 CPU IC, ±12 V RS-232 line driver ICs, +12 V for disk drive motors. The onboard voltage regulation is typically performed by devices of the 78xx family (for example, a 7805 device to produce +5 volts). These were linear regulators which are commonly mounted on heat sinks.
A lot of the complexity already moved to motherboards. CPU and ram voltages are generated on the motherboard by necessity --- they don't run at 5v or 3.3v, they are adjustable in small steps based on load and configuration.
> Iran and Saudi Arabia restoring ties is likely very bad news for Israel.

It is bad news for the West. Iran will stop after restoring Muslim control of Israel in much the same way that Germany stopped after restoring German control of the Sudetenland.
Instead continuing to market to a particular brand of Northwestern hipster. My friend in Portland refers to the brand as “Patagucci” which I find to be rather amusing and accurate
Manhours cost money, equipment and infrastructure cost money, supplies and consumables cost money.

If the primary goal of a hospital is to save lives, which it is, then the hospital needs to generate sufficient revenue to enable that goal.
GeForce Now. It's been amazing for being able to play AAA games for $20/mo. (Not so great for my social life.) I grew up building my own PCs with 3Dfx Voodoo cards, but honestly this is waaaaaaay better -- no heat or noise, and a way better GPU than I could afford. Combined with PC Game Pass or an Ubi or EA subscription, this is a great way to go through a bunch of great games for a month or two at a time.

Microsoft To Do is a simple, free, multiplayer to-do list app that runs on all the things: my Android, my iPad, my Mac, my partner's Windows laptop. No ads, no bullshit, it just works (thanks, Microsoft, this is probably the single best software you've ever written -- even more than TypeScript or VSCode). We use it for sharing grocery and other lists, and it's great being able to check things off in real-time as we shop different aisles.

My Airpods are still as comfortable and amazing as ever (even though I use Android). The M2 Mac is also awesome, but you knew that. The Magic Mouse is the only thing that doesn't give me cramps after a day of work.

Jetbrains IDEs continue to be worth it (in my case, as a web dev, Webstorm and RubyMine), even as VSCode keeps getting better.

In the real world, probably my bicycles (Cannondale/Specialized especially, Canyon a little less so). All are great fun to ride. I wish I discovered this much younger (almost 40 now, didn't start cycling until my late 20s).

And good boxing gloves... I love my Hayabusas with their integrated wrist straps. I don't fight competitively or anything, just do it for a workout, but it's saved my wrists so many times. They make great training shin guards too. Perfect for this big ol' softy with fragile bones.

My Costco membership? After 2020, I'll never take toilet paper for granted ever again, lol. edit: oh yeah, and of course, my bidet!
>I'm not sure how either term is used in the case of multiplication

(I grew up in India.) I imagine it was just "multiply 2 into 10" that got shortened into "2 into 10", and then "2 into 10" by itself became a noun that represents the product, so "What is 2 into 10? 2 into 10 is 20."
That’s how patents always work; the concept cannot be patented, it’s the method which is. Garmin for instance has their own (patented) method which works differently from the infringing Apple implementation.
Not to mention all the territorial regulatory capture on the provider side.

I'm supportive of greater "publicizing"(?) of healthcare but I also agree that there are many, many, many ways in which competition could be increased to actual improve free market dynamics.
Inflation is the rate of change of prices. As long as it's positive, prices will keep increasing.

Inflation has gone down, but has not become negative (has not turned into "deflation").
I have seen meticulous, beautiful lab notebooks before. Paper ones. With numbered oversize greenish pages, faintly quadrille ruled, filled with exceptional INK penmanship, paragraph after paragraph of cogent technical observations, theoretical musings, responses to papers, thought-experiments and real experiments, taped graphs and images. Everything dated and signed. I've seen stacks of them spanning YEARS of work.

I tried. Mine look like shit. If it's in ink, it's peppered ALL OVER with correction after correction after correction. Perhaps it's a matter of practice, but then I've not been at one place long enough where projects weren't constantly re-shuffled, killed, or lasted long enough to get a grip (sometimes the job and the company itself doesn't even last long enough).

Perhaps these are becoming a relic of a lost era? Paper is too much of an "air-gap" when everything is done on computer. Moreover, the standard 2-week Agile "sprint" leaves no time for careful thinking and writing. One can't put epiphanies gained from writing up notes into "the deliverable" for a freaking Jira Ticket.
God forbid it actually figures out what the type is and prints it out properly like every other language in existence? If so I'm sold.
My friend has stereo blindness due to having very poor vision in one eye as a kid, but he never wore the eye patch because he didn't want to get bullied. Implementing a filter like that would be pretty easy in any Unity-based application, but I wonder where he can get his hands on some "Donepezil."
The other day I was discussing with a coworker about the impact of technology in our lives. He defended that tech has a net negative impact overall and that we should reduce the speed at which we develop tech, while I was defending the opposite. News like these prove my point. The problems of the world will be solved with better technologies and more investment on research.
Can you be more specific? Which part of economics do you believe should be removed as a fact from popular culture?
This is fantastic, but I'd say that this solution is somewhat in response to this open issue from 2019:

I really wish just was included as a package in distributions.
Yes. But Lithuanian and Latvian are Catholics are Roman and protestants in all three are on new calendar (not sure if any protestants use old calendar at all?). And not all catholics outside of baltic states were unites. E.g. western Belarus and western Ukraine has some Roman Catholics. IIRC there’re some Roman Catholic islands inside RF too, but they are tiny. Probably mostly artifacts of forced resettling in Soviet or tsarist eras.
I guess I can be forgiven since society did that for 3 solid years or more.

It's important to note that the recent showstopper bugs have all been in OpenZFS, with the Oracle nee Sun ZFS being unaffected by either.
They have developers to feed, and sync is a fair choice for paywalling a feature.
I'll try GammaRay. Thank you for the recommendation. I've tried the QML profiler before but I always have difficulty getting it to work on Android.
I'm not sure if this is undocumented, but I've noticed that submitted links sometimes have either the pathname or search parameters portion of their URL truncated or stripped entirely. Sometimes the truncation happens after a slight delay.

For example, if you try to submit a link to a particular Google Books page, say the one I just tried:

https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Albert_Einstein_Col...

the link will remain intact for a short while before losing its search parameters and turning into a link to the book itself rather than to a page in it.
No. The mandates were to shelter in place. Stay indoors. Wear masks outside.
Seems like this is/was meant to be a door placard for meeting room availability.
I mean, that's fine. My argument about adblockers applies to other software too: the Apple ecosystem has some of the basics (like sync, browsers, etc) figured out for me so that I don't need to fiddle with it. While I'd like to use Firefox, I don't need to, and the tradeoffs that come with accepting Safari instead are worth it for my specific situation. Forcing myself into a different ecosystem so that I can use different software that does the same thing isn't a good tradeoff for me. It sounds like that's not the case for you - glad you've found an ecosystem that works for you.

There are a couple of things you might want to be aware of though:

* AltStore exists and works pretty well: https://altstore.io

* iOS 17.2 allows users in some locales to side load apps: https://medium.com/@rmndrathna4/ios-17-2-sideload-apps-what-... . This was sparked by the Digital Markets Act, which could also force Apple to allow alternate browser engines. It went into effect May 2023, but I'm not a lawyer and idk how this will actually affect the Apple ecosystem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act
Assuming Apple is in a 2-year cycle with the watch like its other devices, what are the odds the offending part of the series 9 watch is also in the series 10 watch with not enough time to remove it before the 10 release. it would make the 10 necessary to be pushed back while they retool the product or continue negotiating for a licensing agreement
Indeed. Seems like the title should be "how to run hackathons to get github activity".

And the "in 2024" part... A few ways this can be interpreted:

- How things are going to be different from prior years. First thing that came to mind... "AI tooling must feature a lot now?" Maybe this will be an article about what guidelines to have for use of ChatGPT? (or maybe that it's a non-issue)

- When it was written... seems to be what the author had in mind based on another comment.
I didn't say they were! Since those, and many similar artifacts, were destroyed when the US invaded Iraq we'll likely never know what they really were. Regardless of whether or not they're "batteries", it's well acknowledged that they produce voltage.

It's not outside the realm of possibility that the highly experimental people of the area found some correlation between those devices they made and their agricultural yield.

You don't need modern physics to simply observe. Before penicillin was "discovered" it was well known on battlefields that you should apply a moldy piece of bread to wounds (the most common bread mold is Penicillium).

Another example could be mycorrhizal fungi. Many indigenous people had complex cosmological theories that included trees being able to "talk" to each other. Westerners who had no concept of this might have translated it as "forest spirits" and other woo-hoo. Even if the underlying conceptualization is "wrong" it can still be useful to model out experiments and take observations. We can just as easily imagine an alien species come to learn about our concept of a "photon". There's no such "thing" as a photon. It's just a metaphor we use to talk about the fact that light has properties of both particles and waves. Maybe those aliens would listen to our ramblings and translate it as us believing in some sort of "light spirit".
There is no NHTSA standard I'm aware of that requires a vehicle to become inoperable if the backup camera loses functionality. There are no states I'm aware of that require a vehicle to become inoperable if the backup camera loses functionality.

Please provide the C.F.R. link or state statute link you're talking about.
Yes, but on the other hand seeing an article about how "European rivers (were) restored" also let us know that the charities we donate to actually do make a significant impact.
Maybe? The two violated patent claims are "a protrusion comprising opaque material configured to substantially prevent light piping" and "one or more chamfered edges" of the protrusion, on a patent titled “User-worn device for noninvasively measuring a physiological parameter of a user.” It doesn’t appear anything that HN users would consider technology related was involved, and despite the palpable sense of Schadenfreude here, if it had happened to a company other than Apple, we’d probably be more sympathetic.

The patent’s claims seem likely to be further invalidated once it gets to court, but the timing unfolded to Apple’s disadvantage. (Or maybe not, as they managed to hold everything off until after Christmas sales were completed, and maybe managed to get a bump out of the pending ban.)

I generally feel no sympathy or outrage for Apples patent strife. They are often a target not so much because of their bad acts but because they’re wealthy and a big potential payday, but they’re also wealthy enough to defend their interests and the expenses are just the cost of doing business. (Although they are usually much better at preventing this level of chaos, but they pissed off a billionaire by hiring his top staff, so there’s that.)
Holy shit this is hilarious!

I wonder how much it costs to get a "masterclass" headline in Inc.
> That doesn't make sense. The value of anything can be volatile if you price it in units of a volatile currency.

This is only true if you are holding the thing for the sake of holding it. Generally currencies, as a medium of exchange, are held for the purposes of later use in buying goods and services: so while 1 BTC is 1 BTC, the fact that sometimes it would take 1 BTC to (e.g.) buy a car, something 2 BTC, somethings 3, makes it less useful for knowing if you have (saved) enough for trade.

Similarly for treating currencies as a store of value: is x BTCs enough for retirement? If it keeps jumping around, how do you have "enough"?

> USD is sure as hell not stable. It's unstable by design - it is constantly declining in value as the money printers continue to churn.

Yes, because having it stay exactly the same in value is impossible (and generally undesirable), and having it go up in value (deflation), is considered even worse. An inflexible monetary system is not a good thing.
Wikidpad I used a while back did this automatically as well.

Inviting potential business partners or overall just people you brainstorm business with on Hikes has always been my go-to.

Hours of walking next to each other, sometimes a bit of adversity, and you learn a lot more than just a loud lunch meeting.
This is orthogonal to the reproducibility crisis, but not really part of it. When you claim a breakthrough even just within a sub-field, if you simply invented an elaborate lie, it's always gonna be caught it's just a waste of everyone's time in the end. This person is lucky she and her lab caught it themselves before other people started to work further on it. And I guess the other lab members were already trying to reproduce it, as you would.

That guy who faked all this can't really be thought of as a sophisticated bad actor, neither was he really gaming the system because it never would have worked. He was just leaping into his own pit.

Research needs to first move to being fully open access and end of tens of millions of taxpayer dollars going to journals. This is something tangible you can legislate. Then, you need to incentivize high-quality research; that's not easy to do at all, but you can do things if you have hiring power within your field I guess...
One of my favorite Seattle moments was having gotten some Frans chocolate from the factory in Georgetown to bring home from traveling, and some as a gift for my cousin I was staying with, watching two folks at the table next to me at a business dinner exchange little bags of Frans chocolates as a greeting.
It sounded to me that they thought they had to use Android Studio as they were complaining about a GUI.
Weird, mine is near the top. I wonder what the sort order is.
It'd be amusing if the shopping cart was entirely client-side during shabbat.
I guess its like, we already have invented the hammer. It works. The complex stuff honestly seems to be what makes any targeted bomb complex vs the teller-ulam mechanism. What exactly are we simulating?

> Capitalism is a very, very powerful tool, because it redefines everything in terms of money.

But only when it is convenient. For example school teachers or police officers can work their brains out but cannot profit from it like entrepreneurs do. For many people unbounded capitalism is a very shitty proposition.

Syncthing has been working smoothly for my Obsidian directory.
Reading the linked Guardian article, apparently happiness is still depressed in Western countries but the advances to reduce human misery across the globe is compensating this.
From TFA it sounds like the employees are all being paid for the week without having to burn their PTO.
2023, no mention of AI (which I consider hugely positive; AI that is, not lack of mention). Still, I appreciate the creativity. It's a great list, some stuff I didn't know about. #96 (Azerbaijan/Armenia relations breakthrough) seems like really squinting to see a glass half full considering all of 2023. Here's to more in 2024, including breakthroughs in seemingly intractable and stupid conflicts!
They are "capable", but only by chance. If you generate millions of random sentences in a human language then some of them would express some "useful new solutions". LLMs would have a higher chance of this happening as they generate sentences that are statistically more probable and therefore more likely to represent a coherent thought, but this would still be a chance.
What do you mean? I switched away from Logseq specifically because Obsidian had almost no differences between the desktop and mobile apps. Logseq on mobile could not run any plugins, Obsidian supports them all.
Also, if you are intent on doing this in K-12, make sure to practice strong opsec if executing on this.

> Games that would drain the batter of my OG 512 model now run 3-4 times as fast.

Wait, really? How does that work? I thought they didn't really upgrade the specs much? https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/steam-deck-oled-vs-s...

These benchmarks show a few FPS difference (maybe 10% at most), nowhere near 3-4 times faster?

edit: did you mean 3-4x as long? But that's also hard to believe... a 3-4x improvement in battery life for any device would be a HUGE upgrade that normally takes like a decade to achieve, not a year or two?
I sometimes think the "anti-government run anything" mantra is just people who are easily swayed by propaganda reciting a line. It's easy to take singular examples of government failure and write articles claiming that everything must be owned by private equity because government is dysfunctional.

But do you know what? I used to pay 1/4 the price for electricity when i lived in an area with a local county run power company compared to my new nearby location that has PG&E as the only option. As in government run utilities were literally 1/4 the price per kwh and yet i'm supposed to buy into this "GOVERNMENT IS INEFFICIENT LOL COMMUNISM" propaganda that just doesn't appear true in the slightest. I mean this is consistent across the board.

I know the baby boomer generation were vulnerable to this anti-socialism propaganda but can we please start looking at things objectively and push back against this privatization that is almost always a way for politicians to enrich themselves. Sigh.
Ask HN: How to Transition Away from CS Industrial Research
Hello. For the past nine years I have been working primarily in computer science research roles in industry in Silicon Valley after completing a CS master’s degree in an abortive attempt to earn a PhD (I wanted to earn a PhD and become a professor, but I had to drop out due to family circumstances). Unfortunately there have been abrupt and dramatic changes at my company where our former way of doing research, which encouraged more time for exploration and had longer timelines, has been abandoned in favor of a system that demands rapid turnaround and immediate business impact. I’m chafing under these new requirements, and I’m exploring my career options. Unfortunately without a PhD, it’s difficult to get another research position at another company, and I’m also coming to the conclusion that I would prefer to treat research as a side hobby than as a job. I would love to transition to teaching; I did some part-time online lecturing at a university during COVID and loved it, but I need a stable job and I can’t find any full-time lecturer positions that guarantee a full teaching load; I don’t qualify for a tenure-track professorship due to my lack of a PhD. My need for a stable job also prevents me from starting my own business at this time; unfortunately recent family emergencies have eaten into my savings.

One possibility is to work as a software engineer. However, this means having to grind Leetcode in order to pass interviews, and moreover, I’m concerned about working in a high-pressure environment; I had a brief stint as a site reliability engineer in the middle of my career that went horribly for me. I want to work in a low-pressure environment where I am able to put in 40 hours of work and have enough time and energy left over for side projects and hobbies. I’m concerned that all my years of working in a research environment would make it difficult to obtain work as a software engineer; while I can code in various languages, I admit that I am a slow coder, and many jobs require experience in specific tools.

I’m also open to other roles, though I prefer to avoid sysadmin, devops, or SRE types of roles. I’m wondering what other roles are good for ex-researchers who can code who have teaching and leadership experience.
The first prompt was actually more specific, but it has provided the definition now. However it can't provide the specific numerical value for the specific type of parametric resonance. But whatever.
I wonder if it is time to re-think the way patents work in an age of highly integrated devices. In this case, it seems like Apple and Masimo could have worked together to deliver a stellar product that promoted both inventor rights and benefited the public. Instead, both companies are suffering, and the public loses access to a technology.

Perhaps the public should buy the Masimo watch if they appreciate the specific advantages of the specific pulse oximetry technology at question here. While that may satisfy a small percentage of customers whose primary motive is that specific feature, the majority of people I know wouldn't consider that a valid option, since they like the integration with the "apple ecosystem", or similar reasons.

Would it be possible to separate end products from component technology in a way that prevents this? Perhaps by tracking an accounting line for patents internally, then pushing for legislation which requires patent-cost -> end product cost transparency?
