Not if it's a law, I wouldn't say. By law 16 year olds can't drive on public roads, but that's not counted as age discrimination.
I think the camera bumps kind of prevent this without turning the phone into a literal brick. Would have to be more like a clamshell/folio type case like with the iPads.

That said the keyboard in OP looks so unbelievably fucking stupid and impractical I can't understand how it made it to production.
Thanks for clarifying that, that does help. I did start Wasabi's 30-day trial yesterday but will reconsider B2 depending on how that goes.

Ask HN: Is Google Alerts Dead?
I've been monitoring some keywords via Google Alerts and it doesn't seem to pick up anything published about those keywords. Every once in a while I get alerts but they're not very related and definitely not covering all the mentions of the keywords that I know for a fact have been published every day! Is Google Alerts dead?!
There is a reproducibility crisis in many fields where people tacitly assumed everyone else was doing their due diligence. Many basic assumptions about confounding factors, confidence values, etc are still being criticized and revisited. You should not assume that such factors have been accounted for, instead you should join in continually asking if they have been and challenging all assumptions.
Aha. That's my obituary for the great man. Thanks for sharing it.
I doubt it. Republicans have been trying to come up with evidence for years and have never managed to find a useful shred. No smoke. No fire.

So there’s no real need to deflect from it.

However Trump is kind of a one-man smoke bomb. So this shouldn’t be surprising at all.

I’m sure the extra irony is great, but I don’t think that’s why it was done.

Hmm, I am not a Steam Deck user, but I have Valve to thank for being able to switch to Linux.

What kept me from it was the fact that I couldn't reliable play my gaming library on it. Thanks to the efforts they put to improve things with WINE/Proton, I could happily switch to Mint around a year ago, and couldn't be happier with it.

I would agree that people are giving Medvednikov an unreasonably hard time if he learned from his mistakes, but everyone kept bringing up his past anyway.

But it just seems like Medvednikov keeps repeating the same patterns over and over. He's making dubious claims about software without sharing how he arrived at those claims, and he's calling something open-source when he hasn't released the source.

Why should people who know about this pattern stay silent and allow others to be misled by the same patterns?

Hey, I'm glad you found it useful. I know it is hard to take critique, but I did enjoy the post. I truly do mean the critique is coming from a place of love. And I hope the comment helps others find more (I guess I'm writing a blog post now). I do feel there is often this gap between nearly no math and way too much math that causes a lot of people to come away with "you don't need math for ML" which is... idk... partially correct but not? haha. I'm a bit mathy of a person so you just caught a pet peeve of mine. I definitely agree what I said is out of scope for how you wrote but I will stand with my subtitle critique ;) I still do like the article though

And I just realized we're in a slack channel together haha (I don't think we've ever talked though). I poked around your website and saw you're at HF. Love you guys to death. You all also have tons of awesome blog posts and you're one of the most useful forces in ML. So I really do appreciate all the work.
I've been actively punishing companies that waste my time. Oh, two rounds of interviews only to learn it was an internal hire completed before I ever applied? Enjoy having every one of your listings have thousands of applications a day for the next six months, all just real enough to be plausible. The system is actively being weaponized against people looking for work to keep a power imbalance, might as well be a two way street.
This is generally why I'm in favor of a UBI. It would solve so many employment problems if an employee in a bad situation could up and leave without a near-guarantee that they lose access to their home.
You're right. Locking the rows or using serializable isolation would be required to achieve an atomic operation if and only if both accounts are in the pristine state before it.
Terminals are primarily for folks who want to direct their computer, and not be controlled by it.

It might be 15 years overdue.
Would you mind pointing me to some info on this? I actually tried to invoke my custom GPT through the OpenAI API and found no way to do it. The closest option at the time was creating an Assistant, which is a whole separate construct. If there's a way to do it now I'd love to play around with it.
This made me realise how much I'd love a physical keyboard on my phone.

But not like this, this is too long and I don't think one will have a pleasant typing experience with this.

I thought about this one for a few minutes, but I can't think of a good way to integrate a keyboard in a smartphone case, that will give you the experience of a blackberry or similar.

The slide-out ones that you could use in horizontal orientation are probably the best way I know of, but I wish something similar could be feasible in vertical orientation.

EDIT: I just realised that the coolest way would be, if the phone display is only as large as the current phones minus the keyboard, and then a physical keyboard beneath it. The phone would be physically as large as the phones today and you would have a superior typing experience. Only problem would be watching videos or images which are all either 16:9 or 21:9 (or vice versa). And I'd personally trade the screen size for a physical keyboard

Golf takes gear, course access, and above all large amounts of free time. It's certainly not something almost anybody can afford to do. Access and the time to commit are things those with higher economic status often take for granted when considering whether everyone can afford some activity. These factors likely come into play for saunas too - they're not a staple for any given city gym, for sure, which means you need access to a more well-outfitted gym, or to have a sauna in your own home. And then, again, free time beyond the essentials of fitness and daily life.

Indeed they do, and it rules
But it does. Some of us have gotten burned by putting poor-quality gas in our cars. Now I have to make sure I find a "good" gas station. Guess what? Those aren't as plentiful. Usually I have to go out of my way to get to one. That's in the middle of running errands when I have other things to do and don't necessarily have the time to go out of my way to go to a gas station.

I also live in an urban area that seems to have fewer pumps per capita than other urban areas I've visited. This results in lines at the pump, which are exacerbated by automakers not standardizing on which side of the car to place the fuel filler. So cars end up queuing up from two different directions for the pump - and I've seen fights break out over people believing other drivers had cut in front of them at the pump.

Let's not even talk about trying to get gas during rush hour when getting in and out of the station may be problematic and exacerbates all the other problems noted above. So you go home to wait out the traffic but you still have to go back out on a separate trip just to get gas.

So yeah, that requires planning and mental energy. I'd love to get an EV and just come home and plug it in and not worry about it.

For the 2-3 long trips I take per year, I rent a car anyway. That way I upgrade to a nicer, bigger car than I drive on a day-to-day basis, I don't have to worry about breaking down on the trip, and if I do end up buying an EV, I don't have to worry about charging on a trip. It's the way to go.

Would it make sense to run a bridge for Asterisk to call into? Most WebRTC services will have proprietary signaling, so you will have to write some signaling code.

```
Asterisk -> Bridge -> WebRTC Service
```

You could do it all in Asterisk you will just have to write a fair amount of C code! It's been years since I have done that though. Reach out on https://pion.ly/slack and would love to help :)

I wonder where are these people. Do you know any? Would you be "happy" to work for less than minimum wage?

Sure, gommunism is when minimum wage. Most of Europe is in fact gommunist today, while its bourgeoisie gets richer and richer by the year.
Lol excellent curation, thank you.
But the question everyone is asking is: Do they have a Dvorak version
Yeah. My answers are short but they’re genuine.

What you’re saying is a much clearer answer. And what you’re saying is frankly pretty tough. But being a consultant is more than just asking someone to shut up and and pay you to code.
I probably shouldn't respond to comments that are rather unserious, but I suppose you got me.

I'd say that the US national minimum wage has already effectively been scrapped through neglect (I assume mostly willful neglect), so congrats?
Love the idea, but its a missed opportunity - some wheels and it could have been a skateboard too.

With all seriousness, keyboard should have flipped or slid out so its more compact. I can't see that in peoples pockets.
> My guess: if the bitstream format was documented competitors would know how the device works and be able to prove their patents are being violated.

Maybe. There certainly is a lot of "secret sauce" energy around the bitstream formats. Primarily I think they guard the bitstream format to help ensure vendor lockin. Imagine if there were open tools that could easily target FPGAs from multiple vendors so that users could choose the most cost effective solution. The FPGA vendors don't want that.
I’ve seen various phone keyboards over the years but never recalled one that used capacitance.
I'm ok with people working hard and getting paid for it. I'm not ok with those people using their money against me in any way, which is what still happens and nobody talks about.
That's what I was thinking... Car and trailer pulls you down to local places and too cumbersome. A much better option is just fly to some place, rent something for 1+ month (or even a hostel if you want to go really cheap) and live there like a local. Staying in one place for at least a month (ideally 3-4 months) is very important so you don't have urge to checkout everything in short period and get distracted from the work. The idea is to be local and live like local.

For computer setup, I would highly recommend 17" laptop + portable monitor (for example, https://www.amazon.com/UPERFECT-Resolution-2560x1600-Raspber...). I also get beefy laptop with GPU with 4k display. I usually add iPad as my 3rd display for music or whatever.

Most certainly because they've shown that imitation learning worked inspire of randomness inherent in a natural settings (colours, visuals, obstacles etc).

Imitation learning from human demonstrations has shown impressive performance in robotics. However, most results focus on table-top manipulation, lacking the mobility and dexterity necessary for generally useful tasks. In this work, we develop a system for imitating mobile manipulation tasks that are bimanual and require whole-body control.
would be great if the capital value is very well understood and you could pre-sell the asset to reduce upfront EV cost :)
It seems that cryptocurrency was clearly a target for attack by the government.

I was looking around recently to see if I could find some kind of attachable physical thumb-typing keyboard / landscape phone holder combo for my Pixel, after convincing myself that my GPD Win 2 handheld computer was really, truly dead [0]. Couldn't find anything, so now I'm rather jealous of the iPhone crowd seeing this today.

[0] Can't recommend GPD products - they're just not made to last, and rely on hacked-up Windows installations to drive them. Which is a shame, because the Win 2's form-factor and cursor control scheme are basically perfect, and also seemingly unique.
Your maximum current is too conservative, power transmission calculations are conservative enough to run wire through fiberglass insulation in a hot attic. Closer is "chassis wiring" which rates that wire for 0.47A: https://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm

To deliver 150W with output voltage of 300V (0.5A) would require an input voltage of 640V at an efficiency of ~45%. Not great. The water could handle a lot higher heat distribution but efficiency is already terrible.

> For maximum power transfer

at a fixed input voltage.

That's your opinion. I don't agree with that characterization of him or his projects at all. It's a convenient way to give yourself some cover for attacking a creator you don't like.

This is hard due to all the monopolies that exist in the modern world, and it's only possible for B2C businesses. The entire value chain is dominated by B2B where consumers have little say. I love System76 but their components are still from mega corps with stupid CEO salaries.

The only effective ways to deal with this are progressive taxation and labor regulations. Bring back the 90+% top tax bracket that Thatcher and Reagan disposed of. Tie minimum wage to regional cost of living indices.

Of course, this article only discusses wages. The truly wealthy don't make much from income. It's incredible that capital gains tax is less than income tax.
I'd guess those patents would have expired by now. They only last 20 years, and you must file them within 12 months of a product coming to market including that invention or you forfeit the right to patent it. So any patents related to the 7000 line or earlier would have expired, and I don't see anything about this keyboard that is similar to later BB keyboards.
Millions of EVs are coming. What happens to all the dead batteries? (2021)
IMO, having such a slow charge rate (Yes, 55 kW is slow) is extremely detrimental to EV adoption because it feeds into the narrative that it takes 45+ minutes to charge the car which just simply isn't true for any decent EV.

This is what frustrates me about EV makers that aren't Tesla. They frequently half-ass their EV and then get all Surprised Pikachu when they don't sell, and then they incorrectly just say "Huh people don't actually want EVs".

I'm not trying to sound like a Tesla fanboy (I own one, but I'm not a fanboy), but the Model 3 is the standard upon which any EV is going to be compared. If you don't support 250 kW charging with at least 250 miles of range, you're making a shitty EV that nobody will want. Sure, you can probably forgo the self-driving features, and the huge touch-screen interface is a bug more than a feature, but you cannot skimp on range and charging capabilities.

This doesn't really explain how OIDC works, it just explains the flow of requests a user would see if they're setting up OIDC for authentication between two systems for the first time.

But beyond that, I'd say in future blog posts it would look a bit more professional to use some kind of architecture diagram making software, rather than somebody's napkin drawings. It's a little more difficult than it needs to be deciphering these graphics. To be entirely honest, I'd settle for mspaint-level quality if none of the free diagram making tools out there catch your eye.
All fair points. I don’t mean to absolve academic science at all, there is a credibility problem, completely independent of reporting. I’m mostly saying that when it comes to reporting and blame for bad reporting, this is an issue of degree, and science reporting mucks things up far, far more often than scientists do, enough so that looking for blame outside of reporting seems pointless. Bad reporting and bad science are two separate problems, and the article we are commenting on says it’s about about bad reporting.

I’m not very familiar with exaggerated claims in Nature, can you provide some examples? My experience with science reporting is almost always one of looking up the primary source and finding far more nuanced claims than were reported.
It wasn't on my curriculum, and I've only worked with one person who was remotely familiar with Lisp.

I've worked with more people that know Haskell than Lisp (though that seems like an outlier, I would guess Lisp/Scheme is still more popular than Haskell).

It's totally possible that I'm an outlier or that it's regional, but I haven't seen any indication that Lisp is commonly known.
Pretty cool. It's going to take a while to make it into a usable product though. Having conversations with people flailing their hands algorithmically is going to feel weird until it gets more natural. Right now it feels like those "blink every n" scripts.
The ML behind this is most probably building on the work of Kroodsma et. al (2018) [1]. (Kroodsma is affiliated with Global Fishing Watch). While AIS data can contain information about whether a ship is engaged in fishing, this is sparsely used - even though there is no ill intent. By using spatio-temporal data such as position and speed, and expert labelled segments of activities they trained CNN's to identify fishing activity from other activities. Since these are vessels that did not broadcast their positions, i.e did not broadcast AIS data my guess is that they used the optical imagery to construct movement patterns, maybe even speeds (by looking at the wake patterns) as well as their position in general as input data to similar constructed CNN's. They could also put in info such as whether the ship was in or near fishing grounds, and whether the ship showed signs to travel to port to offload any catch, or met up with a vessel to transfer the catch.

I'm currently in the middle of my phd where I am working with these types of data and methods, its extremely interesting.

In 1986 and early 1987, PC's did not have more than 640kb of RAM, just about all the programming tools for IBM PC's were limited to 64kb program size, and there were all kinds of really mickey-mouse ways to try to get around those limits. There were 80286 computers that could use 16 MB without too much trouble, but in 1987 programming tools that could use the full 640 kb of the 8086 and link separately compiled code showed up (e.g. Turbo Pascal 4.0), the same year the the 32-bit 80386 desktop PC's were launched. Borland's Pascal and Delphi pretty much matched the capabilities of Microsoft's C and C++ through those first disorienting years of change.
The first one I head of was https://academic.oup.com/ageing/article/46/2/245/2654230, which did not consider income but did consider other typical biomarkers of health (HDL/LDL, BP/HR, smoking, etc)

Emerging evidence suggests a plausible mechanism is the "heat-shock response", which upregulates a lot of crap related to cleaning up misfolded (= aggregatey) proteins, like protein degradation and chaperone protein expression. Where most of these neurodegenerative diseases AD, PD, some dementias, CTE, prion diesases etc. involve protein aggregation at some point whether necessary-and-sufficient or just along for the ride. Like at this point if some kind of degenerative disease isn't thought to relate to protein aggregation, it's more likely nobody's bothered to look for it

Anecdotally/personally, it seems like there's kind of a step response going from "not cooked" to "cooked", the good stuff doesn't happen until you get "cooked" (ideally remaining that way for a while), and this seems to happen around a body temperature of 38.5-39C.

> We may be close to saturating the market for the former group.

Not even close. Maybe 6% of the households in my neighborhood have an EV, and I have no reason to believe we don't represent the average upper middle class neighborhood. I would imagine that percentage to be considerably lower in middle class neighborhoods. That's why I say we're not even close to saturating the single family home market.
