Log Video recording on the iPhone was pretty cool for me. But also coming up this year probably are two huge things, an actually good interface for Apple Vision which is a pretty impressive accomplishment, and I would bet a lot that we see a huge revamp of the iPhone this year with on device LLM features.
I'm no investor or financial analyst, but it appears to me that Microsoft have a diverse range of revenue (that don't necessarily depend on each other) with pretty good lock-in with their products (not easy switching away from M365 once you've gone all-in with it). Apple on the other hand still have most of their revenue coming from iPhones with the next biggest coming from services which stems mostly from the iPhone sales. There's some lock-in with the iPhone, especially in the US, but it's pretty easy to switch from iPhone to Android and still have access to the same apps and services (apart from the Apple-specific iMessage/FaceTime). I don't know how much this affects stock prices, but it does seem like if you're investing in Apple, you're investing in the success of the iPhone. Obviously that's been a safe bet over the last 10 years, but nothing lasts forever.
I actually bought an RX 580 8 GB new for 139 EUR last year (most likely sat around some warehouse in an unopened box for years) - it has no issues running most indie games or even the decently optimized AAA games at 1080p, which was an upgrade over my previous RX 570 4 GB.

The only actual issues I ran into were when I tried running it for PCVR (Quest 2) because the latest drivers actually cause crashes and instability, although I could fix that by rolling back to either the 2020 or 2022 drivers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38870500

Sometimes hardware from generations ago is not only decently affordable, but also sufficient for what you want to do, as long as your standards aren't super high. Getting some of that hardware with no previous owners also feels a bit interesting, albeit I've also bought used CPUs off of AliExpress for my homelab servers with no issues either.
Whenever reading any CIA related files 'and then such and such happily passed away in an accident.' Y-yes, i-i believe it... (((anxious)))
Forensic psychology is a weird discipline that evolved more from legal precedents than social science research. There are standards for what counts as victimization, and incentives to categorize negative emotional responses as e.g. recurring episodes rather than chronic or permanent problems. Those legally-defined turns of phrase are like pinball bumpers that they have to hit to activate different levels of compensation.
Yeah but now we're hopped up on adrenochrome and too busy with our Satanic rituals to do anything.
My other issue with renting EVs is my credit card insurance's limit will be based on MSRP, which is a problem because:

1. EVs are more expensive up-front (supposed to pay for it through reduced opex)

2. ex-US/Canada, MSRP includes VAT, inflating it.

3. Nobody effectively pays MSRP for EVs because of various tax credits.

4. Every CC's CDW policy I've read said that they don't cover you at all if you exceed MSRP

Maybe my insurance will think #2 is an oversight, but I don't want to test that. Some say "MSRP exclusive of taxes", but again, I don't want that fight.
Probably something like Bridge Construction Set or Bridge Builder.

> The eBay stalking scandal was a campaign conducted in 2019 by eBay and contractors. The scandal involved the aggressive stalking and harassment of two e-commerce bloggers, Ina and David Steiner, who wrote frequent commentary about eBay on their website EcommerceBytes. Seven eBay employees pleaded guilty to charges involving criminal conspiracies. The seven employees included two senior members of eBay’s corporate security team.

Ceding your concept of morality to a book someone wrote thousands of years ago is the pinnacle act of moral apathy. That level of apathy is revealed in the way you make your argument: Others' way(s) of life can't possible be moral because they're doing things differently... revealing a lazy mind incapable of compassion and unable to comprehend the values of others.

Seriously, take a look at what you wrote and think about the implications of painting people involved in Not Your Preferred Religion as "naive followers" with "amoral apathy" that are lured into "actual worship"... which sounds a lot like how certain popular religious organizations slip into the philosophies of others who were better off without them, not that I'd name names. It'd be difficult, anyway, as the hypocrisy is usually thick with individuals who engage in these sorts of mental gymnastics.

It's super common when TST gets involved, and it's always amusing to watch.
You can make this case for anything though, as with every advantage comes a downside. "Horse-drawn carriages have a big advantage in that they force you to not go as fast, and so they make crashes less fatal. Crashing a car is bad for you. Going slow is good."

This isn't a real argument though; how fast I go is my business, and how long I drive is my business as well. If I have two people in a car, we can trade off and solve your "driving too long" problem in a way that doesn't compromise ability. Nobody is going to buy this rationale. An EV can do less than a gas car (in this area), and it's just worse.

From your argument, it follows that we should push auto manufacturers to make the gas tanks of non-EVs smaller, so that it's impossible to drive for longer than 8 hours on one tank of gas. This is just a terrible position, it doesn't even merit being argued against.

In fact, making up rationalizations like this is so much worse than doing nothing, because it saps the incentive to improve things. If we delude ourselves into thinking that a car that can do less is better, then we'll never make it better, fewer people will purchase them, and we'll blame everyone else for not buying into our delusion.

The budget cycle for 2024 has likely finished so orgs are moving to execute on 2024 plans.

Executives can finalize things a bit more easily when folks out of the office as the day to day a bit slower. HR / Acctg / IT also usually like doing a one off project in these spots - usually a smaller group is in loop on these things.

The week between Christmas and New Years for the quiet meetings and week after for plans to be finished up.
Damages shouldn't be subjective but based on the acts committed.
If you cancel, you'll have to place an order elsewhere and end up at the back of their log. Since there isn't that much competition, this means Airbus. Moreover: this also means introducing another brand of aircraft into your fleet. That is a far greater maintenance headache than "merely" various types by the same company.

Basically: Switching cost are stratospheric.
random fun fact, the creator of Worms used to hang out on a #worms channel on IRCnet. It was a lot of fun for many years, but eventually Andy left and people slowly drifted away as the Amiga scene shrank, and now all that's left is me and a few people who weren't even there in the original era, in a #worms channel on ARCNet (I forget why we moved from IRCnet).

Sadly, I have no logs from the old days, so all I have is memories of lots of CTCP SOUND shenanigans.
It's essentially a parody/protest religion. Basically taking the idea of "Ok, you're gonna play the religious freedom card? How you like deez apples? If you want us out, you have to go too."
Yes! I should have explicitly spoke to that, because it wasn't the source of the idea

I was trying to respond to "Why does systemd have to store file descriptors?" with "That's actually the entire point of its existence"

This article doesn't cite sources but it seems to be just repeating every point made in the netflix doc Downfall - including the joke about McDonnell Douglas buying Boeing with Boeing's money.

My friend also recommends the book Flying Blind which I haven't read yet, but both seem like better info sources than the linked article.
Give BMW i4 a drive. It's excellent.
A reminder that The Satanic Temple is not to be confused with the Church of Satan, as there has been a few comments in-thread which have confused the two. It's extremely common for them to be confused.

The Satanic Temple was founded in 2013, and rejects many of the beliefs of other Satanic organizations. To see their differences from The Church of Satan, see [1].

I would encourage anyone remotely interested (positively or negatively) to read through their FAQ[2], and if you have the time, to peruse some of their recommended readings[3].

i have been hosting events at my workplace before but i think that's different. tech debt only affects work. but if i want to host an event, and i get the option to host it at my work place or elsewhere, the chosen location should not affect my pay. in fact, i would not want to get paid so as to remain independent, and be allowed to run the event however i want. i'd appreciate my employer offering the location and even sponsoring food maybe, but once i get paid, it is no longer my event, but my employers, and depending on the nature of the event, i may or may not want that.

of course, if my employer does host an event and directs me run it, then i'd expect to get paid for that.
> I’ve thought about leaving the research life for a regular job, but it’s not obvious to me that would help.

It might help a lot by giving you a break from thinking about the kinds of things you currently think about a lot. Seriously consider it. You don't know what you don't know. Perspective helps.

> First, there’s not really other jobs I’d rather do.

Not relevant -- you can come back to research later, and when you're burn out or depressed you inherently have a hard time imagining how new things could be fun

> I’m not sure if it even is burnout or a deeper issue.

Well, as a researcher you can appreciate that there is one way to find out -- experiment. But if it started with work and later spread, work probably had a lot to do with it. Besides, burnout is really common in academia.
In addition to Biblical content, we should also refer to the biblical apocrypha – those ancient writings that are not included in the traditional Old and New Testaments. There are some fun stories to read in the apocrypha, building on the traditional stories we know.

To your point, I wonder how much Satan plays a part in each of these classes of writings.
While IRC imposes no such requirement, the world has mostly agreed on utf-8 by now.
If this fits in a mini pc that would be pretty nice. A NUC sized box that plays cyberpunk, not bad
I should have been more specific. We have lots a data classifications we maintain and we have different rules for different classifications. Customer content we can't access without customer consent. We are paid to store customer content. Customer content is like your work doc stored in one drive. Some classification are only accessed in aggregate. Some are easier to access but cleared after a short period ect. We all have to go though a large training every year about the different classifications and that's not easy to communicate in a short comment.

We store data everywhere to meet european GDPR standards regardless of where you live. We have logs but they can only contain sanitized information.

Any document which attempts to describe how a large origination handles data is going to large and complex. As sometimes different standards conflict. For example we have to keep records of anyone who changes the system for some period of but we also have to delete data that has end user identifiers. When stuff like that happens we have to go to lawyers and have language that describes how we handle thoes conflicts. That doesn't lead to a small doc.
That's a good idea. It tends to lag when downloading messages.

I can find lots of cheeses that are like American "Swiss" cheese here in Germany. I think that what happened was when Swiss immigrants moved to e.g. New Glarus, WI, and started making the cheeses their parents made, and then when people said hey this is good what is it, the Swiss-Americans said it was cheese like they made back in Switzerland, so Swiss cheese. :)
Yes. It’s a camper van. I took five days to do the trip, mostly on 101.

It was an older conversion, not intended for long range travel. This is a once a year thing to relocate from Joshua Tree to the Olympic Peninsula.

I made a snack or took a quick nap in the back when charging. Travel days were 1-2 charge stops.

One problem with such a small battery is how quickly it charged. I was often done charging before I could make food, eat, and do dishes.
but its true for all organizations and people.
I think it sounded a little bit more like Dennis Leary than George Carline. The AI also has to work on its comedic timing, take away the laugh track and most of it just sounds like a rant, George Carline did rant but there were comedic pauses and punch lines that the AI seem to miss. I did enjoy some of the cartoons I wonder if they were AI generated as well? Dry
I can only speak anecdotally but it certainly feels to me that 99% of users regularly only use 1% of the features of modern Office applications, and that there is still a place for these lightweight applications.
I'm not sure about Sublime Text, but I can't imagine Blender is very accessible. As it's such a visual app that's perhaps not surprising, but this approach wouldn't work for other app styles.

"Senior" really just means "this person is not straight out of college." It doesn't actually mean senior in the same way that Intel and AMD's "2nm process" technology does not actually correspond to any physical dimension on the die. It just means you have some type of experience.

Thanks, I will give them a shot. My experience post pandemic with car rental companies, and Hertz in particular has been abysmal. Any sort of rental status with car rental companies ranks below VIP status with a rundown motel in the middle of nowhere. Credit card companies have been the only saving grace, as customer service for car rental companies is non existent.
They did promote their Chief Financial Officer to President not too long ago. The signs have been pointing that way for a while before that though.
They have done a pretty solid job with PopOS, so I am inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.
That's awesome! I've never built a physical one, I think it's beyond my skill. Sounds like a fun project though.
I don't know how to drop this without sounding snarky but it's definitely true for at least some people:

A Linux based desktop is often quite literally better as a real computer for regular people to get things done with than a Windows machine.

It's kind of a weird horseshoe: Obviously for a lot of power users Linux is better, but I'd also argue that Linux is a much better proverbial "grandma" operating system as well; she can do A LOT with simply a working browser.
I wonder how many people listened to the complaints of this couple and just wrote them off as paranoid loons. The allegations read like classic "gangstalking," which isn't supposed to exist.
I can't use my x3d anymore (my family does now), as I moved and left it behind.

But I plan on zen5 x3d (at a minimum), or Zen6 if I can hold for that long.

Zen+ laptop and some old board with 4790k cover the gap. I'll probably get a RX 7600XT for that haswell.
Isn't that just a webserver to handle the click and a header in the email

That shouldn't be hard for any mailing list manager software to handle.
I tend to agree.

The industry hired more people than the small percent of the population before that were attracted to tech.

The jobs needed to change to accommodate all the new, less-tech-interested people. They became more standardized and less thought-involving. More and more jobs are now about using frameworks and writing glue code instead of solving novel problems.

Even the new techier-than-average people are likely in less techy jobs. And jobs less oriented to making them grow into their best geek selves.

Because the jobs became oriented to hiring neophytes to do the bulk of the work, we also see title compression and a low cap to expected salaries. If someone seems too senior and starts to cost too much, this model allows replacing them with new tabula rasa (bootcamp) workers.
I emailed[1] the WARN Notice program in California[2] last year requesting the WARN record for my former employer that laid me off. Their response was:

When religious people just can't deal with the fact that theirs is just one of many religions out there in the world, when they need their god to be the one true god, that's when they become a real problem. That leads to them calling all others evil and trying to impose their values on everyone else. I know it's blithe of me to say that's got to stop, but really, people really need to acknowledge that it's a big planet, not everyone is like them, and that unlike-ness doesn't make them evil.
Not sure, but in my case, I'm guessing they got my email from HN whoishiring threads.
> Their fancy new neural processing unit is Windows-only, tied in with a Microsoft framework, and they don't seem to have any kind of definite plan for supporting it elsewhere. So there's quite possibly no single OS where all the hardware that theoretically could be used for machine learning and AI in these chips actually has even vaguely functioning code that works on that OS to make it work that way.

What they did was embed their Vitis IP in their CPUs. Those IP modules have been available in ASIC accelerator cards from AMD or their Xilinx FPGA offerings for a while now and have Linux support.

So they are releasing these APUs (which are primarily focused at a windows audience) with Windows support via ONNX. And then once there are chips in circulation, AMD can get Linux Vitis support for these chips set up with members of the Linux community being able to review and validate those patchsets.
> Modern car parts are full of computers and the aftermarket will never support them because they can't ship copyrighted code.

Once a car gets older, there's usually no shortage of the electrical components on the secondary market as they're getting scrapped. And they're easy to ship. Or someone figures out "Capacitor 96 goes bad on Part 420" and solders a new one in.

We'll run into problems once they "marry" all the electric parts together and you can't swap in a headlight from another vehicle because the VIN doesn't match the computer's. Fuck you Apple.
I'll point to a NYT story from 2012: <https://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/01/world/middleeast/obama-or...>

>Getting the worm into Natanz, however, was no easy trick. The United States and Israel would have to rely on engineers, maintenance workers and others — both spies and unwitting accomplices — with physical access to the plant. “That was our holy grail,” one of the architects of the plan said. “It turns out there is always an idiot around who doesn’t think much about the thumb drive in their hand.”

>In fact, thumb drives turned out to be critical in spreading the first variants of the computer worm; later, more sophisticated methods were developed to deliver the malicious code.

>The first attacks were small, and when the centrifuges began spinning out of control in 2008, the Iranians were mystified about the cause, according to intercepts that the United States later picked up. “The thinking was that the Iranians would blame bad parts, or bad engineering, or just incompetence,” one of the architects of the early attack said.

I have it saved for that quote: "It turns out there is always an idiot around who doesn’t think much about the thumb drive in their hand."
The form lets you just indicate the “total short term loss” and “total long term loss” kind of thing.
I currently use an old macbook from 2014. Everything is slow and I can't have too many applications open at once. But vscode is still one of the snappier ones and I don't see those keystrokes issues.

Of course you can always go less powerful but at one point you just can't use all more complex editors. It's not an electron issue.
This whole story is very strange.

All over the Internet people are slapping google on the back for..... pretty much nothing. In fact much of the praise seems to be worded as though Google had dropped all egress fees.

Google continues to charge the nothing-short-of-highway-robbery 12 cents per gigabyte unless you are in Australia in which case its 19 cents per gigabyte. This is astoundingly bad value.

What are people hailing Google's "free to exit" in such glowing terms. Even herein the comments people are cheering for Google.

Worth noting at this point that Cloudflare R2 charges 0 cents per gigabyte egress.
The answer to this is "yes" -- and for details, I would recommend Peter Robison's excellent Flying Blind. (Selfishly, I would also recommend the conversation that we had with Robison on Oxide and Friends shortly after the book was published.[0]) For insight into the deep roots of the broken McDonnell Douglas culture, I would recommend an older book, John Godson's Rise and Fall of the DC-10.

I haven’t used the app yet, so I’m not exactly sure how it works. But I imagine it might be useful (It seems it’s always useful) to be able for it to export to structured plain text files so that it can be integrated in a note taking app like Obsidian.
