Checkout http://decomp.me - it’s a community built tool used by a lot of video game decompilation projects. You put in the original bytecode, it will attempt a decomp, and then you fiddle with the source (using the same toolchain & flags known/best guessed to be used by original devs) until it matches perfectly. It’s super cool.
My dryer will straight up lie to me and say “20 minutes” for anything between 0 and 60 minutes. I think it realizes the clothes are still too damp and just keeps running, but whatever differential equation it’s using to predict time remaining seems flawed.
Likely from the magnetic field from the conductor. They even have street lights that are powered this way.

Yes, this is indeed a big problem. If anything, more eyes are needed. Therefore, less walls.
I'm still baffled that anyone thought that this was a viable idea. A social network based on your taste of music? Too bad your friends aren't into techno.
Something my partner and I noticed during the full lockdown of the pandemic was that the lack of aviation made it much easier to notice spacecraft.

In a big city with an airport a moving light in the sky is almost always a jet at high altitude.

But with nearly zero flights, it was more likely to be a satellite or the space station.
Relativity of Simultaneity
Where I live PLBs have a lower sticker price than the InReach, only require a one-time payment for life, and they have a ten-year battery life. I don't know about EPIRBs or ELTs.

You don't need feedback: Search and Rescue WILL send out a team that makes physical contact with you, even if you only turn the thing on for a couple of minutes. Seen this in action here in NZ. They are trained in tracking, too, so you can't hide.
It’s a frequency (range) dedicated exclusively to satellite usage, at least in the respective operating region.

In the US, that’ll be presumably some of T-Mobile’s spectrum.
They are pretty easy to replace. There are multiple spares in each orbital plane, and new satellites are constantly being launched. Each satellite only has a 5 year lifespan, and no individual satellite is critical.
I am frequently reminded of George Carlin's bit about "soft language" and how it obscures facts of life that we're uncomfortable about:

His criticism of soft language about aging and death starts around the 5 minute mark
That sounds intense. :-)

And wow, I'd never thought about the effects of a dam on waterway temperature. :-O
Bingo. While I might afree with some of their points, it seems a poor way to convey them.
Carbon paper was also a key part of Samizdat production in the Eastern bloc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samizdat (which is why my family still has piles of it in the attic somewhere...)
A lot of washing machines remember their previous state when the power goes out.

You can use this to your advantage using a smart switch: start the wash cycle, turn off the power straight after. When you turn the power back on at a scheduled time (using the smart switch), the washing machine will pick up where it left off (at the beginning of the cycle).

Also a lot of them just have a timer built-in anyway.
hmm, I could never see any open parking spots either.. it's weird too, that place is packed even in off-peak times

I'll admit the burgers are a lot better than McDonald's, although still not as good as something half-assedly home made with bottom-shelf Safeway ingredients

Contrary to popular belief, the US doesn't run the world (or solar system). If US law blocks it, they'll launch one from another country.
Which one is able to deliver a web app faster?

Lots of people here completely missing the point - understanding assembly in the age of infinite cloud computing resources is equivalent to saying a guy who can build a wood hut on his own is more able to get jobs than a modern day construction worker. Even though they have some random or deeper technical knowledge, it doesn’t make them any more employable or relevant
They have partnered with T-Mobile, and T-Mobile already has these deals in place. This is how TMo subscribers get global data coverage as part of their plan.
Definitively possible. It’s what I do with my dumb washing machine. Just have your home automation tool of choice notify you if power draw moves below 5w or something.
Why hasn't anyone mentioned a botnet yet? Those devices are perfect targets for Mirai clones.

(yes, you still cannot run a mailserver at home, currently because we live in the age of Internet of Shit).
Aaron Swartz Podcast – Eposide 1 (Happening Now) [video]
I'm not a fan of the manufacturer dubbing these "Magic Balls", when "sensor spheres" or even "Neuron" from the original article linked in this thread, is more than sufficient. We're not trying to appeal to home consumers here. Maybe it's for politicians...

Cool project though, transmission costs account for a large proportion of energy delivery.
I was originally not going to respond to this, as I don't think this was written in a tone to encourage good discourse; however I wrote something on one of my socials on Friday which is relevant, which I'll paraphrase here.

It's been an extremely long time since I've seen an extreme scale Kubernetes environment which didn't have some OpenStack components, and it's been a long time since I've seen an OpenStack installation which didn't include (at least one) Kubernetes cluster.

And even if this wasn't true... would it matter? We're all working towards a vision of open infrastructure, trying to serve the infrastructure needs of developers who are counting on us. Why do we have to be so tribal about it? It doesn't matter if you're using OpenStack or Kubernetes to automate your infrastructure; it matters that your infrastructure is automated and that you automated it with open source software.

In the end, it's all better when we cooperate. That's happening all over the place! Metal3.io is bringing the power of OpenStack Ironic to an API design more familiar to the CNCF/K8s community. The OpenStack Magnum community continues to make installing Kubernetes clusters on top of OpenStack easier.

Tribalism is just another form of taking your eye off the ball. Open infrastructure is winning; we can't lose focus now!
I’m almost certain it won’t be actually unmodified smartphones. At least some baseband and/or anpplic layer adaptation seems necessary in order to not waste all bandwidth on signaling and overhead.
This probably won't resonate to the HN crowd, but I was in NC last week visiting a pump company that I distribute two of their lines.

The office was a ghost town. Completely empty, eerie, creepy. I think the applications engineers, accountants, office folks, etc. work from home 3-4 days a week. Meanwhile, there were 80 some employees in the factory on the lower level milling and lapping away, and fabricating pump skids.

I don't see this ending well. I know a lot of young folks and admins are singing the work from home praise, but it does create a lot of animosity when machinists are grinding away on 8 hour shifts and HAVE to be there. On the other hand, it's really fresh for someone like me to state any opinion since I'm a sales engineer and work alone out of an aircraft hangar and only see people when I go see clients at their own facilities or travel to see my vendors.

I don't think humans are meant to be in isolation, though. But, the modern American life is full of shitty commutes, long hours in traffic, and mental drain. With the rising cost of homes, fuel, life in general, who the hell wants to sit in an hour traffic each way to work? And at the end of the day, who the fuck cares? Any extra profit you generate is going to some boomer shareholder. Might as well sit at home and create what little sanity you can.

I think consultants, programmers, sales, and some technical folks and the like are safe. They could do their jobs from home in 1990, and usually frequently travel. Programmers have had svn and git for a long time. Consulting / professional engineers tend to sit on software packages and conference calls much of the day, etc. etc.
I like this, and kudos for going for assembly language. It is certainly true that reducing dependencies reduces the attack surface for something, that does not, in and of itself, make it "secure". But yes, in a probabilistic sort of way it reduces the chances of exploits. Of course assembly language has zero memory safety or other guarantees which probabilistically increases risk. I can't say if I think they balance out one way or the other. Still, I love me some assembly language applications. For extra credit transpile it to aarch64 and then you can run it on a Pi-Zero (or Pi-W) in a wall wart :-).

I have been researching, off and on, distributed forums. As forums like the one created here became the "go to" after Usenet fell out of favor I have thought a replacement would have both the distribution/replication features of Usenet and the user experience of phpBB (the grandparent of most forum software).

Making it distributed, and eventually consistent, is an excellent distributed systems challenge. So it is kind of like relaxing to a puzzle. If you, gentle reader, have written something along those lines I'd love to have a look.
Some of this spirit continues to exist at the lowest levels of embedded, but most of it is long gone. Even the cheapest microcontrollers are now powerful enough and growing fast enough that in a year or two micropython will fit. :/

> Especially if those countries are currently suffering from economic depression like China

You seem to ask a question to push a narrative rather than by curiosity

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/imf-upgrades-chinas-2023...

~5% growth when the west is contracting, specially Germany and the US is quite the feat, what's happening in the Red Sea didn't even hurt that forecast

Have you seen the forecast for most EU countries? it's quite dark in comparison

And have you read about EU farmers protesting? Dictators must be wearing blue, and censorship may rule, perhaps not just red ;)

Economic depression? has any of the European countries attempted this?
This is the best approach, if you can do it. Keep the devices dumb and add in whatever modules you need on top to make them as "smart" as you want them to be.
I've had issues as recently as this week with podman on an m1 laptop - the container would start but after a short time would freeze completely and couldn't even be killed - only solution i found was to restart my laptop. Eventually, I gave up and went back to using docker.
This AI contortion is just mega-boring with lots of money being thrown as everybody thinks they need to do something - anything.
My dryer timer is reasonably accurate, but on my washing machine the last two minutes are like the last two minutes of a football game.
When I press "up" on the website opened in Firefox, it scrolls up very slowly and with a noticeable jitter.

It is nice to see the display model easily rotating in 3D, but the on/off button is not clickable. The logos at the top and on the bottom-left corners are blurred.

The font size at the bottom of the page is too small (barely visible).
To assert yourself as normal says a lot.
The dryer is more interesting
That is, I think, the only valid use case. I have an AEG washer that does some voodoo to decide wash times and only shows the estimate at the start, then it weighs the clothes, looks at how dirty they are and so on. The washer is two floors down and I never know when it’s actually done. As a side note, I think my washer is “smart” ready, meaning it has all the electronics already in and the panel has the lights already installed, just that it’s not activated because a didn’t pay another 100 euros for it.

I guess another use case would be measuring water and energy consumption but I doubt that people paying top dollar for these appliances are the type to keep an eye on such things.
Well sure, then let's talk about podman desktop. I'm pretty sure the discussion was around docker itself, but maybe I got confused... Because otherwise you can just use other tools rather that docker desktop to manage docker containers (eg rancher desktop, which is also open source).
Operating with unnecessary margin is wasteful and does not necessarily increase safety.
Well, you know how this works: if one person that you've met recently does not like you, then maybe there's something wrong with them. If a hundred people that you've met recently don't like you, then maybe there's something wrong with you.
This is an argument which has been going on for years; "crazy paragraphs because the code is ugly" is a thoughtless low effort criticism and it doesn't deserve a steelman fleshed out rebuttal if the person hasn't put any effort in.

You say "a symbol soup with multiple paragraphs explaining what the soup does and why it is good" - honestly, do you think people write multiple paragraphs explaining the code to beginners who can't read APL every single time they write any APL? Of course they don't! Your proposal relies on "symbol soup" being a fair and accurate description, which it isn't.

And, are you suggesting that people don't write comments explaining their code in common popular languages? Of course they do! (and should)

And, are you suggesting that people don't have to learn and practise to be able to read common popular languages when they learn to program? Of course they do, look at posts around the internet on people learning Java and Rust and C# and C++ and Python asking what some code means, what some syntax means, and not only beginners, lots of people ask like "I can code but what is this syntax?" and it's a Python generator comprehension, or a ternary operator, or a C# LINQ SQL style or a pattern match or an anonymous function or a compiler hint or a documentation generator template or a generic type or a turbofish or whatever thing they hadn't seen before in their previous languages or codebases.

And, are you suggesting that comments getting out of sync with code is only a problem in array languages? Of course it isn't.

Or that nobody ever complains about the readability of Java because it's so verbose and has so much abstraction you can't see what's supposed to be happening? People do. I do.

And as always, what about regex? It's so useful as a text processing language that it's often still shorter and cleaner to write a complex regex and paragraphs of comments explaining it, than to code the equivalent in classic string indexing and slicing and if/else branches. You'd end up writing a Greenspun-esque ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half a regex engine.

That's not to say there is no criticism of APL's style possible, but if you want people to take the criticism seriously, have something new to say about it or some solid support and explanation for it. "Whenever you look at a problem somebody’s been working on for a week or a month or maybe years and propose a simple, obvious solution that just happens to be the first thing that comes into your head, then you’re also making it crystal clear to people what you think of them and their work." - https://exple.tive.org/blarg/2019/04/17/why-dont-you-just/
3.7GB seems like a lot, but modern appliances are highly efficient, a lot of those bits just circulate between the laundry and the router to cool down between wash cycles ... people just don't understand how much data they use when hand washing clothes, sloshing gigabytes down the drain...

Thank you for that link! It's good to be learning about decompilation/RE tools that aren't just Ghidra, IDA, Hopper. It looks like it works by function, which I'm sure will help future decompilation efforts.
It appears they have since reverted the decision in 2020 but it used to require logging in for Docker Engine:

I did not know this as I stopped using Docker long ago.
I see, I misinterpreted the line. It's just confusing overall, my first guess that Luxembourg (the other end of the line) is the label of the number 9, located in Munich.
> running code certified by unbiased, competent third party

Running reproducible builds of open-source code certified by unbiased, competent third party experts, so that the semantics and runtime behavior of the code can be continuously evaluated by multiple unbiased, competent third party experts, since the business definition of "third party" can change over time.

Where binary blobs are needed, the blobs can use reproducible builds and the certified source code can be escrowed so that the binary blobs can be reproducibly created by a third party.
Programming languages don't 'die', they merely sleep until someone gets interested in them again.

For example, in certain hipster areas of the programming web, there's plenty of interest in all of the flavours of Algol.
Yep - ours seems to take 0-10 minutes longer than it predicts at the start.
When the door plug is installed, the stop pads on the plug pass the stop pads on the plane and then the door is shifted vertically to align them, with the pads on the plug on the inside of the pads on the plane.

Instead of arguing about it, maybe consider which way the pressure is pushing during various phases of operation and decide how you would design the thing if the highest forces push outward...

Looks like this housing is built outside of town, so it might actually work! One things cities do wrong is trying to house homeless people near downtown. It's dramatically more expensive to do it there, so there will never be enough housing or will to pay for it. The housing that was built for "low income artists to be able to live here" was even more of a joke. A bunch of condos downtown that were priced uncomfortably high for entry level tech workers. Nothing say artists have to live downtown! City planners just can't think outside the downtown box.
This was the first thing that came to mind. Imagine a fleet of laundry machines each sending 3.7GB of data. That's the perfect way to run a DDOS, and nobody will ever notice.
Are there any type systems that work well for the array programming problem domain? Not the kind of ‘everything is an operator’ syntactic sugar, to be clear. More things like supporting the kind of general operators you see in array languages while also expressing the constraints on dimensions, eg for matrix multiplication you need the number of columns on the left to match the number of rows on the right. But the thing written at the end of this post presumably also does things on arrays of higher rank too…
I can't help but read that list as "criticize and micromanage them".

But I was never a good manager, and I don't know how to do better.
I was rubbed the wrong way with that line too, such claims usually set off red flags, but the OP appears to not write English natively so they might have legitimately missed out some tempering.

e.g. "AsmBB focuses on security in its design and reduced reliance on dependencies."
I think there's a pretty significant amount of UV coming in even through a pinhole. There are indoor-only things that are damaged by UV (old computer cases) even though windows block a lot of the UV.

I think what's hard to balance is what effects other things will have. Humidity will get into the camera and the water will attack the paint. Air will be oxidizing the pigments. Bugs can probably get in and eat the paint. 1000 years is a long time! You have to hope that other effects don't destroy the image more quickly than it can be created.
Diffusers are a thing. Fairly well understood.
My Ubiquiti UniFi UDM is not good at device identification. It's kind of annoying because I have this big list of devices on the network and it's peppered with devices that I know don't exist. I'd appreciate it if it said something like "Maybe iPad Air", instead of just "iPad Pro 2nd Gen" when I know no such device is on my network.
You can keep using x-compose on several nodes, you just need e.g. ansible or salt on top of it. For many things this is still a local maximum compared to a K8s cluster or "just ssh in'.
This is what I was trying to say a couple weeks ago and kept getting down voted into oblivion. History had shown anything that depends on human actors will be manipulated.
The population density is likewise lower in the western half.
Filmmakers still haven't come to terms with the fact that everyone has a cellphone in their pocket now and most plot confusion that normally drags on for 2 hours can be resolved in under 30 seconds.
I assume my number was somehow leaked. While the search space is not prohibitively big for an exhaustive search, I don't think it's a common thing to do since I don't get nearly enough robocalls or messages to assume that.
Dev here, AMA
We don't know that much about how exactly the humans learn and how AIs learn. Both are still to a degree black boxes.

But you're asserting that in case of AI training it's "stealing property", but imply it's not stealing for human learning. I think you need to substantiate this claim/difference. "Humans learn differently from AIs" is not enough.
With deep learning, it's very hard to get the formula from the model, we don't know how it looks at the data.

But, we heard the same feedback from a few other users and we're thinking some ways to show how the model thinks and why it scores like this.

Thank you for trying and provide your valuable feedback.
When I’ve been at companies large enough to need to solve communication issues, I’ve seen two major styles:

1) Need something? Post in the relevant channel. Use @s if appropriate. If you’re in the wrong place, someone will let you know. Break off to private chats when it makes sense, but mostly not. Folks have a good idea what‘s going on because most exchanges halfway-relevant to what they’re working on or connected to take place in public.

2) Need something? Ask around until you find the right person to talk to, then communicate with them. If electronic, DM or email them, don’t contact in a public channel (there may not even be one that makes sense for the chat). Communication is a network of who-knows-who-to-talk-to. Messaging app is mostly oriented around ad-hoc group and individual chats rather than channel-focused (thanks, fucking MS Teams, for practically enforcing this style at the tool level). If you’re not around to overhear things in person, you won’t know wtf is going on.

IMO the latter is clearly just dysfunctional, but this dysfunction is far less painful in-person—it seems to work basically ok, mostly, except that everything takes a little longer than it should. However, all its problems are brought in the open with WFH, and for someone who hadn’t seen the other (better, no matter where everyone’s working) style, I can see how they might think their struggles with WFH are because of WFH.
Same, I tried it on Thursday, I would recommend people on M1 Macs to stay well clear of podman for now.
I liked your office / partner comment; I think there's a lot of truth in that.

I think a lot of people are really worn out. We have endless scrolling, tons of wars in the world, people are indebted, and realistically it doesn't matter how much you work; it's all unaffordable and many are losing hope.

I think the first world needs a large structural change. Government, capitalism, the whole nine yards. I think a lot of people are seeing the bullshit from the left and right and saying to themselves "surely I'm not the only one who thinks something is wrong."
