>The bottom line is getting officers out of their offices. The rest will follow.

This is not necessarily true.

An analogy would be saying a company has a software quality problem where things are always late and broken... and thinking the solution is hiring more managers and getting them more involved in the day-to-day work of programmers.

Management is a part of the problem but throwing more managers at the problem isn't the solution.

Defense acquisitions is hideously complex and involves many stakeholders from entirely different heirarchies often changing their minds half way through and making politically- or career-motivated decisions that have little to do with "doing a good job".

Fixing this involves somebody or some group motivated more by "doing a good job" than everybody else's motivations to go in and sort out the inefficiencies and broken processes and organization. It's hard. It's not a matter of "we need more of our guys in on this".
If you're a conscientious investor, you might have qualms about making money on war and death.
There are valid complaints to the idea being challenged, but it absolutely can be done technically and through legislation enforcing technical controls. Sophisticated users will use VPNs if they want to evade geoblocks, your average person won't (and any business that attempts to help them will be met with a legal hammer), and digital IDs are both reasonable and feasible to deploy at nation scale. Should it be used to govern access to adult content? A legislation issue!

Sane technology legislation requires competent representatives. This is what folks voted for. Parenting responsibility in the aggregate, very broadly speaking, is not what it used to be. This is not to say that parents today are worse, but that standards and resources are different (two adults having to work full time, quality time per week between parent and child, ubiquitous access to social, screens, and internet, etc).
For fans of Bluey, I would highly recommend a similarly positive Puffin Rock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puffin_Rock

It shows about a kid bird and her younger sibling exploring their island. It has supportive parents. Themes in the show are exploration, family ties, friendships, problem solving, independence etc.
So its a side hustle
sbellware's reply says just about everything of import, but from a tactical perspective, yes, we do push to master. Sometimes we push regular commits and sometimes (if we branched) we push merge commits. We have hundreds of repos and it's very rare for there to be conflicts of note. We do reviewing as we work via pairing (and on demand, live, when necessary).
NREL Paper and cardboard waste in the United States
Honestly, a stream of thoughts 1.5hr video about it all would be a cool listen. Not that it has to be 1.5hr but I’m sure your unedited thoughts will have some great insights
The squeezy bottles are annoying because they are opaque and I'm sure a ton of wasted mustard, ketchup etc are being thrown in the trash compared to glass. The Dutch have the flessenlikker but most Americans don't.
Do a study on your special DNA to see why it is so different than normal DNA from everything that has DNA. That's the only way to get to the end of this, apparently.
"Anduril industries" has entered the chat...

Long story short, yes, VCs have entered the defense industry (writ large) and although I have my doubts about whether said VC money will achieve FB-like returns, they are trying.

And to answer the GP poster.... The industry is not "ripe for disruption" because it's dominated more by the "invisible hand of the lobbyist" much more than the "invisible hand of the market".

Fwiw, from my ~20 years in the defense industry.
Parents and caretakers have the ability to restrict children’s content on any device a child has access to. The burden should be on them to ensure their child is not consuming porn. It shouldn’t be everyone else’s problem that people are unwilling to parent their children.
They have powerful Congressional reps in their districts.

So the opposite of decentralized then. Why do crypto people love inventing new middlemen to take a cut? Oh right, they’re the middleman. That’s why.
You could try facts. If that's not too much bother.

> Items can acquire visited status anywhere in the cache, to the left or right of the Hand pointer. There is no special area.

They can lose visited status only if they are between head and hand pointer. That's the special area. There's no way for item to loose their visited status if they are between hand and tail until the hand reaches head. In this sense area between hand and tail is privileged.

> If an item is inserted while the Hand is in the leftmost position, it will be evicted immediately when another not-present item is accessed.

You see the cost of small head-hand area but you don't see the benefit of large hand-tail area.

> Moreover, the algorithm doesn't allow for experimentation with randomly varying the trim distance between two arbitrary values.

In its basic form it doesn't. However I suggested that you might tweak how far from the head, the hand loops back to tail. It doesn't have to happen at exactly zero distance if you don't want to ever disadvantage new entries too much.

> .. construe a sequence of access patterns under LRU in which two items A and B appear equally frequently, yet enjoy significantly different retention times.

I see no cost of that. Cache doesn't need to be fair. It only needs to be successful. If it can serve item A from cache for 100% of the time and item B 0% of the time despite same patterns its still better than if it serves each of them 25% of time from cache.
I agree with the first two sentences, but not the third. In fact, I think employers often get so wrapped up in trying to "efficiently" exploit workers that they drift away from the value proposition and survivability of their core business.
The idea that sperm cooperate is quite funny. They are sometimes used as a sort of example of how wildly competitive life is from the very start, we were in cooperation to even be born. In fact, it was a group project.
Is this kind of how streaming services work as well?

Don't think that we don't see this.

Gotta admit; although your comment was crass and it was really funny.
More fun on actual hardware, but then there's the hardware support. BSD's may handle it, but better chose the OS before the computer if you like it smooth.
Interesting! We say “for real” here in the US also, but I’d never been able to pin down the full expression from Bluey.

AV is already widely utilized by thousands of internet companies and represents a significant market.

The issue is the companies being targeted have simply chosen to not enact any AV or gating measures because it would impact their existing business. Additionally, the targeted companies have solutions available but are leveraging legal and lobbying efforts vs. changing their business.

Source: I work for a company that distributes a widely used AV product.
In my opinion the implementation of glibc (there is a bunch of good reasons for the “weirdness” and a whole lot of gcc-isms) and even the linked example from musl (with somewhat confusing #ifdef block) is a thing that should be in some kind of “System Programming” course, not in introductory course to C.

How about you pick a different example of Apple not being NIH?
This does seem to work and is news to me. Windows 11, Leveno laptop. Control+ESC does in fact open the start menu. But none of the other windows key shortcuts work - control+ESC+D did not bring me to desktop, but bookmarked current page in the browser I had open.

So maybe not so cut and dry.
Yep, but some parents would like to shift responsibility to others (government,...), because the alternative is to actually be a parent to their kids.
I would genuinely try to fix it, based on descriptions by my mentors who were Boeing engineers.

I believe the board and executives would genuinely want me to fix it.

But it may nevertheless be impossible due to organizational mechanics, entrenched bureaucracy, short-sighted shareholders, etc.

I was just pointing out that it’s ridiculous to pretend nobody would want the job because it’s likely to fail when there’s only upside, for both yourself and the company. A literal win-win.

Implying there’s something negative in my comment because it’s easy to be cheaply cynical (and the cheap cynicism in the comment I originally replied to) is what’s actually wrong with the world — and why things are so bad.

Who gives up on something that only has upsides without even trying?
Sure, but laptops are generally more expensive than desktops.

Your config also includes 1/4th the memory bandwidth.
You can't expect parents to hover over their children 24/7. Apply the argument you're making to any other instance of corrupting minors. If you have sex with a 14 year old, you're not going to be able to say, "Well the kid's parents should have been watching him..." to the judge. The same applies to showing porn to one.

> any device a child has access to.

That's not the world we live in today. Stores local to me will sell a (terrible but internet capable) phone for $35 to anyone. So you are proposing moving the age verification to the device purchasing stage?
You think that straw manning the millions of human beings that came to different conclusions than you, describing them and their beliefs in the worst possible way, without any good faith analysis of what they believe and why, is a good contribution to your society? You believe that you live in a country where literally millions of people, a double digit percentage of the population, "don't believe in science"? In my mind your belief system and the hate you're spreading around is more dangerous to our civilization than the worst-case straw manned people you're describing.

I agree except for some specialized equipment I wanted to use for PT on my arm. Apart from that I do better at home.

But I think for some people it’s possible that the payment itself acts as a spur to exercise (I’m paying for it so I’d better use it). Of course the gym owners are counting on this not being true!

Also I just want general fitness, health, and ability to do specific things I want (bike/swim/kayak/backpack/ski), which means bodyweight exercising (including TRX) and hand weights are 95% of what I need -- most of the gym equipment is great but unnecessary to me (YMMV)
The moats are the guys you paid to put into power. And because your lifeblood comes from the government no one can outspend you. You just take from it to pay for who makes it up.

Of course, as SC Justice Thomas showed, there’s no real moat. And the people in power are just your friends. They’re not placed there by you. And the gifts you give them are just gifts. If you think you can make a better ship, convince my friend in power.
It was an easy way to get the app up and running without needing to worry about hosting, editing features and user profiles. I.e. release minimal functionality then expand if people like the app. Intention is to add other hosting options, like IPFS, at which point it will remove the dependency on GitHub and decentralise hosting.
HN rocks. Thanks.
Yes parents should restrict their kids devices and keep an eye smart device usage generally IMHO. However, doing so well is not easy. There’s so many work arounds unless you severely limit device functionality.

For example, at least a few years back it was basically impossible to enforce DNS based filtering on iOS devices much less other more invasive setups.

In the spirit of "don't think about cabbages" I want you to think about any movie or cartoon character still under copyright and imagine them doing something. And if one of you writes it down and lodges it online.. Anything beyond fair use length. There. Either, you, or me, of both of us just broke IPR.

What? You mean I have to "express" this idea by typing it into a production system? So.. if I ask a production system, to "think" about any IPR character it likes. And construct a scenario, have I just committed IPR theft against all the IPR holders at one remove? How about if I chain the production systems and make one prompt the others, to prompt the others.. but at no time do I identify the IPR.

How can this be all on me? How not? Maybe.. the IPR is broken in the expression not the instruction. In which case deciding most of it is in the prompt not the production seems a bit odd.

Note, I do not think these llms and gpt systems have personhood, or own any IPR they create, independently of the entities which operate them.

You can set the number of cores utilized by default in the settings, yes. But Logic will only fully utilize the performance cores. I made a mistake and over-stated by saying it would only use performance cores. The conclusion isn't different though. M1 Pro will handle more tracks currently.

Isn't this the exact reason they got into this mess in the first place?
Of course you can get better $/performance when you're not paying for something that is extremely optimized for weight and energy efficiency.

Also, you don't need to spend $3k on a MBP? I spent ~$1500 for a 16GB system with the higher-tier GPU.

It will be interesting to see how much further it will be possible for Apple to push their platform.

I think the Jobs/Ive legacy that has pushed the thermals ahead of raw compute had given them a massive headstart in the LLM age for both notebooks (obviously) but also desktop (less obviously).

With the size of a normal 4090 heat sink the ATX platform is showing its age. The biggest element of any system is a series of huge heat sinks. The graphics card ends up being massive. You have support struts coming out. Giant power supplies. Bespoke connectors. Paying for RAM twice.

Apple have a form factor people are comfortable with and haven’t set the bar too high with raw performance. They aren’t hindered by existing designs. The thermals are good.

And you pay for it all in one.
If you're an iMessage user, don't you want your messages to non apple users to be encrypted?

Kicking them out of the system makes your messages less secure, not more secure.
Sure, but if you unilaterally change the terms of that contract and don't re-consent for the expanded use, the old lawful basis doesn't really apply, now does it? I mean, whatever, the ICO will explain it to you soon enough with big legal words. Good luck!
I have no experience with trains in Spain or Italy, but trains in Germany are notoriously unreliable. I don't think I've had a single train trip through Germany in the past year without some kind of delay and extra hassle.

For our summer vacation, we travelled from Amsterdam to Switzerland. We had first class seats with one layover in Frankfurt. Frankfurt was a mess, the train was sent to a different station, our connecting train was cancelled, we had 5 layovers instead of 1, and had to stand. When we finally got to sit, we had no reserved seats and were split up. On the return trip, similar problem, though with less extra layovers.

A few months later, I went to Essen by train. The ICE stopped at Düsseldorf and the connection to Essen was delayed or I missed it because the UCE was delayed. Still best train experience in Germany that year.

The return from Essen, the train from Essen back to Düsseldorf was cancelled, and the connecting bus would guarantee I'd miss my last ICE and I'd have to spend the night at Düsseldorf. Instead, I paid a lot of money for a taxi to race me there. Got there in time, and at the last minute they sent the ICE to a different platform without clear notification, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people still missed that train. I fortunately noticed some people leaving the platform and informed some others who hadn't noticed.

Trains in Netherland and Switzerland are absolutely perfect, but to get from one to the other you have to go through Germany, and that's a problem.
I used the equinox next door to the office for a while because it was next door to the office (and membership was subsidized). It seemed that the customer base was fit people between 30 and 45. Being outside that demographic meant I didn’t have to interact with the other customers, which to me was a feature.
If every person can be identified uniquely and mapped to a real person, and this is what age verification will come down to, then each of us can be fed with different kind of bullshit, our thoughts can be even more easily manipulated systematically. That is the price to pay.

I didn’t say electrons form of fluid, what I’m saying is that electrons are not anything, but a probability wave. A wave, you know, like a fluid.

Selling solar panels is going to recover very little of the cost. Most of the cost is the labor and permitting. A lot of the rest is the wiring and inverters. Might as well use the excess power you generate to run a space heater/crypto miner, or net-meter it to the grid.

Yikes.

I recently made a RAID5 from a pack of a brand new WD10JUCT (1Tb, 5400, 512e, 3Gb/s!, but! CMR) and under Windows softraid they showed up to 500MBs of sequential reads/writes. Sure, when I installed them in R720 with PERC which doesn't understand 512e/4kn drives and then slapped VMDKs on it... things got slow but not 25-30MB/s.

And my experience with different RAIDs says RPM doesn't really matters, you would get N x Usable_Stripe_Count MB/s in sequential access anyway and with enough spindles you would get fine enough access time too.

Probably there was a problem somewhre else, like 30MBs is clearly up to USB2 speeds and even 4200rpm should show a better numbers.
You say this as if there's no innovation in modern shipbuilding, as if the Koreans and Japanese who dominate the industry have just gotten really good at lashing together logs to make really big rafts.

That would be like saying that VC's don't invest in communication companies because communication is as old as civilization, and who wants to invest in semaphores and stone tablets anyways?
192.0.2.0/24 is TEST-NET-1, per [1]

I suspect that 127.0.0.0/8 breakage is related to IPv6's existence, since only in IPv4 is the whole class A network usable as loopback - at least, it's broken on Linux (you can't do `ping ::ffff:127.1.2.3` ... actually, now that I try it, it fails even for non-loopback addresses? I thought I tested that before) ... I haven't tried explicitly bind()ing the local socket before connect()ing though (most often, you only bind before listen, and let it autobind when you connect).

Related, `gethostent` enumeration is completely broken for IPv6 under GLIBC at least.

and while I'm ranting about networking, the latest Debian on my laptop "permanently" clobbers the default route (see `ip r`) when the rfkill button is pressed (thus leading to the weird situation where you can access the LAN but not anything beyond it) - to fix, `systemctl restart networking.service`

Very common on pc laptops, doubly so with discrete GPUs. However Mac laptops seem pretty good about not thermally limiting and are especially at giving same performance when plugged in as when on battery.

PC Laptops with discrete GPUs often show huge differences when on battery vs wall power.
The vast majority (90%+)of all AV is not photo ID. It’s phone number or name/address (in the US), depending on the industry. This info is usually collected.

For adult industry, the issue is gating web traffic. But as I explained to a regulator mentioned in the article, as long as there are shady companies who won’t comply and can’t be fined, it’s a moot point.
