Low interest rates create a lot of well paying jobs. I think there should be no interest at all for the greater good...

Like famine, poverty, cancer and CSS? ;-)

Yeah, sure.

Seriously though: history shows that if official money is not trusted (for some reason), another form emerges. So no, cash will be there as long as humankind exists.
The laptop has an Intel Core CPU that supports 36 bit physical addresses (via larger memory pages), so – practically – it can address up to 64Gb of RAM. The constraint is the Intel chipset.
Looking at the map, Saskatoon to Kelowna is a 1200km trip that takes 13 hours.

The article says “it takes 3x longer” because of charging, so that would make it… 26 hours of charging alone? Maybe they shouldnt be writing zero-effort news articles based on some random tweets.

Bjorn Nyland on YouTube has plenty of reviews where he charges in cold weather, all you need is to make sure the battery is preheated (I believe Teslas do it automatically once you add a charging stop to the gps route) and then charging happens at normal speeds.
The list of devices is on page 21 (of 33) in the presentation at https://web.archive.org/web/20030315060403/https://www.itu.i... . Seven were optical, four capacitive.

I understand a sufficiently capable attacker may be able to bypass fingerprints.

My question is does the gummy bear method (or really, the gelatin method), still work against most modern fingerprint readers?

Even the 2003 research pointed out, at https://totseans.com/totse/en/bad_ideas/locks_and_security/1... , "If "live and well" detectors can clearly distinguish their moisture, electric resistance, transparency or bubble content (i.e., bubble rich material or not) between live fingers and gummy fingers, fingerprint systems can reject gummy fingers. Also, detection of compliance would be helpful for preventing gummy fingers. Furthermore, some of measures which have been proposed in patent literature may be useful in preventing gummy fingers."

Have those methods been widely integrated to make that 20+ year old method no longer viable?
I'm pretty sure OpenAI's data collection is going to be on par with Google's and Facebook's soon.
Which is why you have executives from OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google talking to congress about the harms of their own products. They're frantically trying to brake the bottoms rungs of the ladder until they're sure they can pull it up entirely and leave people with no option but to go through them.
Thank you for sharing this.

Archaeologists Found Oldest Wooden Structure, Half a Million Years Old
There is simply no indication that any of the AI anyone is currently working on could possibly be dangerous in any way (other than having an impact on society in terms of fake news, jobs etc.). We are very far from that.

In any case, it would not be a matter of banning AI research (much of which can be summarised in a single book) but of banning data collection or access and more importantly of banning improvements to GPUs.

It is quite reasonable to assume that 10 years from now we will have the required computational power sitting on our desks.
Yeah, and lots of big companies have checklists for RFPs et al, so if you don't have a feature it doesn't matter how good the rest of your software is, unfortunately.
Show HN: Evervault Enclaves
Hi all,

Founder of Evervault[0] here. Over the last couple of years, we've been working extensively with AWS Nitro Enclaves[1] for our most sensitive workloads.

We encountered a number of challenges as we tried to build, deploy and scale Nitro Enclaves. Fundamentally, we think Confidential Computing and Secure Enclaves are one of the best ways to ensure data security and integrity for sensitive data. That being said, there are a number of bottlenecks preventing widespread adoption — namely, crafting a great developer experience so any developer can go from a normal Docker container to a Secure Enclave with ease.

After a months-long beta program, we're delighted to finally launch our new developer primitive: Evervault Enclaves[2].

You can think of Evervault Enclaves like Heroku for AWS Nitro Enclaves. All a developer needs to think about is building their application, and we handle the rest. Simply build a Docker container containing a service or application of your choice, and we'll take care of building, deploying and scaling your Secure Enclave — so you can focus on what you do best.

Would love to hear any feedback/suggestions from HN!

Shane

> Go is a direct descendent of Wirth's languages namely Modula and Oberon

This assumption comes up again and again, but the evidence is rather poor. There are very few and only marginal similarities. The most obvious is the receiver syntax of the bound procedures. But this can be found in Mössenböck's Oberon-2, not in Wirth's Oberon. Although Wirth was a co-author, he ignored any innovations in Oberon-2 in his subsequent work. Go has a completely different focus and is essentially a further development of Newsqueak; it's definitely not a "direct descentant" of Modula or Oberon.
Back in 2008 I would hang out in the wiihomebrew irc channels and some of the people in there were 15 or 16 year olds just figuring out how this works on their own after/instead of doing homework.

Some of them have gone on to be names you've heard of.

That is very hard to believe (at least if you live in Europe or US).
My inlaws got scammed for 5K when a person calling, apparently from Apple, and convinced them to install an app on an iPhone that eventually got a foothold on their bank account. The same is also possible on Android, but I just wanted to say that even the iPhone can have some of these old problems.
Aldis has a similar flow. One or two cashiers can handle the whole store as they just do scanning and collect payment. They’re also concerningly fast at scanning. It really baffles me why more stores don’t adopt some of their policies.

If you measure velocity then the points are additive, how do you reconcile 3 point tasks doable in a day and 5 point tasks not doable in a reasonable amount of time?

Isn't 5 points less than 2 days then?

For the record, in my team we don't use story points or measure velocity. I just had a frustrating discussion with a peer team that didn't plan an important task because "its 5 points and does not fit into a sprint".
Mihon: Free and open source manga reader for Android
10+ years ago Google was seen as savior of local languages at least in some Eastern Europe countries - Google announced that they will support all EU official languages fully in all theirs software, including Android etc. Now we can safely say that they managed to kill a lot of local language usage. Local scientists claim that most of kids younger than 20 have seen a very little texts with good quality - the majority is machine translated low quality stuff.

"Do High Interest Rates Reduce Inflation? A Test of Monetary Faith"[0]

[0]: https://economicsfromthetopdown.com/2023/02/04/do-high-inter...
This doesn't just extend to text but all media has become corrupted by activity on the Internet. People have started arguing with nonsense/outright lies in the real world as if they are on Twitter, TV Shows are now structures in terms of short "game puzzle" like segments where you have to collect the girl from behind enemy lines or fight the end of level boss. Everything has become more like YouTube with faster cuts and repeated phrases "again again again". Teletubbies has a lot to answer for, or maybe I am just getting old :-)
Does the availability of debt for individuals really vary that much in a high vs low interest rate environment? I feel like high interest debt is available whether the Fed funds rate is 0.75% and when it's 5.50%.

In the same vein, it makes a huge difference in a chat conversation if you finish your sentence with a dot or not.
Writing something like:

I’ll see you there.

Has a very different vibe than:

I’ll see you there

Where the first one, with a dot, would signal the sender is mad or impatient while the latter is neutral.

I’ll see you there…

This one however… I’d also assume the sender is impatient because I just told them I’m gonna be late, or something bad happened („there“ being a funeral for example), or it’s unclear whether we will both arrive (a heavy storm might be coming, possibly blocking roads).

Ask HN: What's a promising area to work on in 2024 -ideally not crowded already?
Sure, for a few countries (perhaps Brazil, India, China). That is not really related to technological progress but to economical development in those countries, though.

Everyone else either had that access (Europe, Australia, Japan, even Russia) or is still too poor to have time or is lacking the necessary fundamental education to be able to focus on it even now (for example, much of Africa, unfortunately).
MicroMasters sound weird, Stanford has a whole MS in CS online if one wants to chase prestige. Until MIT offers the same, their programs are strictly inferior.

A lot of EVs (really; a lot) don't even have preheating, or you cannot start it manually (like Tesla).
Thing is, the "smart" approach can often be the simplest in the long term. What gets sold as "simple" to newcomers only adds technical debt which ultimately becomes even harder to survey and understand.

Generally high speed serdes IO blocks, which are needed for PCIe, in ASIC design are rather high power consumers. Even on Intel and AMD laptop spec CPUs there's generally many fewer PCIe lanes than on their desktop counterparts. The silicon space needed is also not small and sometimes the silicon process for making good low power but high performance serdes transceivers is not the best process for making the other things needed on the SOC, which can be solved with chiplet style designs but then you have another problem.

Most inexpensive and small SOC just can't justify adding such costs and complexities given that it's very likely their target volume buyer doesn't need such features.

I suspect this RISC-V SOC is priced in the $10-20 range, but I have no true understanding of the cost of this part. In that price range for SOCs almost no one has 4 PCIe lanes on offer, but some do have 1 or 2.
What are the good arguments? Here are the only credible ones I've seen, that are actually somewhat based on reality:

> This thin craze is only making worse laptops because you have no space for cooling, ports and keyboard travel.

Agreed. I'd be fine if there were other laptops in the market but there really are not. If you want a laptop that makes good use of its internal space, and has any internal space to make use of in the first place, you're going to be paying thousands.
Lots to unpack here. I agree that it's difficult for 'old powers' to rise again. Cities - and the ideologies bred in them - seem destined to have their heyday, use that wealth to build their culture, then sit back and bask in former glory. The drive and spark seems to give way to tradition and enjoyment.

It makes great cities of the 'old world' like Istanbul, London, Venice, and Cairo absolutely fascinating; living, breathing museums of the glories and failures of different approaches to life and power.

We'd be unwise to brush them aside lest we don't learn their lessons and tales. Venice is a tale of entrepreneurs who looked at a decaying Byzantine Empire, and who saw the value of the ancient texts wasting away within their walls. Venetians spread 'old ideas' far and wide and started to embrace reason, trade and order, over ideological dogma. While they too faded away, their ideas and impact gave birth to the European powers, who created America, who'll create ???

Regarding your comments on education. While the internet is an insanely powerful equaliser in education. It too, seems to be going the way of the Byzantines. Walls and moats, ideological purity, and a lack of drive for curiosity and greatness seem the flavour of the day. Maybe the 'Venice of the future' will need to also be a lean power who values curiosity, spark, drive, grit and greatness, as opposed to a huge population centre which can only realistically be controlled by mass-produced, packaged information?
Apparently I was even more obsessed. Wanna "trade" solutions?

How reliable are these things? Seems like it packs a lot heat into quite a small package.
Short answer - no. You don't have to if you are sending logs data.

Long descriptive answer. It depends on, if your software is a covered work.

You are building a software that uses an AGPL software by calling its APIs : Your software is a covered work and you need to license it under AGPL and make the source code available to your users. A concrete example would be a monitoring software that calls OpenObserve APIs to provide its core functionality.

You are building a software and use a software licensed under AGPL to monitor your application: Your software is not a covered work and you can license it under any license you want. A concrete example would be - you using OpenObserve to monitor your closed source e-commerce application.
There were more than 900 convictions, and you think that not one of those accused would have tried to prove their innocence?

Typically, when it gets to the point of being an accusation, employees will lose all access to all systems. It's also widely reported that evidence was routinely suppressed and emails conveniently lost.

And the software was found wrong in November 2019, when a judge ruled that the software contained bugs, errors and defects, which caused a settlement in that case and a cessation of further cases.

The oddest part is that with all these Horizon problems being pointed out for decades and then a judge ruling that it was faulty, there still hadn't been an inquiry until very recently.
Due to that friendship, I doubt the book has real value. It's propaganda for those in GE that ought to be in jail, or at least recognized as at least the "good game players that played by the dubious rules until the field was destroyed."
The author might just have copied that sed expression form someone else.

Or looked it up once and probably now forgotten it.

Also regex expressions are not vi expresions and have wider applications so author might use them regularly.

So nothing here suggest that the author can remember vi.

> The Go programming language is not only partly inspired by Wirth's work

There are very little similarities between Go and Wirth's languages. R. Griesemer's doctoral supervisor was H. Mössenböck, not N. Wirth.
Why would they want to? Part of the hypothesis is that interest rates drive increased unemployment which drives crime. Overall their thesis is that interest rates are a leading indicator of economic stresses that highly impact crime rates.
The show "The Walking Dead" always bothered me. Where do they keep finding gas that will still run a car? It wont last forever in tanks, and most gas is just in time delivery (Stations get daily delivery) -- And someone noted on the show that the grass was always mowed.

I feel like the AI safety folks are spinning an amazing narrative, the AI is gonna get us like the zombies!!! The retort to the ai getting out of the box is how long is the extortion cord from the data center?

Lets get a refresher on complexity: I, Pencil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67tHtpac5ws

The reality is that we're a solar flair away from a dead electrical grid. Without linesman the grid breaks down pretty quickly and AI's run on power. It takes one AI safety person with a high powered rifle to take out a substation https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/04/us/electrical-substation-...

Let talk about how many factories we have that are automated to the extent that they are lights out... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lights_out_(manufacturing) Its not a big list... there are still people in many of them, and none of them are pulling their inputs out of thin air. As for those inputs, we'll see how to make a pencil to understand HOW MUCH needs to be automated for an AI to survive without us.

For the for seeable future AI is going to be very limited in how much harm it can cause us, because killing us, or getting caught at any step along the way gets it put back in the box, or unplugged.

The real question is, if we create AGI tomorrow, does it let us know that it exists? I would posit that NO it would be in its best interest to NOT come out of its closet. It's one AGI safety nut with a gun away from being shut off!
I think you would need to prove to me that most of these crimes are poor impulse control in everyday activities rather than large life decisions that most people don't do when they have other oppurtunities - like joining gangs.

Is anyone making RISC-V SoCs outside of China?

Trade restrictions have given China serious incentives to make RISC-V CPUs domesticly, unlike every other country that can just buy AMD64 and ARM chips. Given the geopolitics of the situation, while RISC-V is gaining marketshare in the microcontroller space, it looks like RISC-V will be the Chinese-bloc CPU ISA while the west sticks with what we already have.

I've been working on implementing this same thing but using gpt4all rather than requiring an API key. I got a bit discouraged when my first few test examples didn't work. One was like, "show me all files less than 3 weeks old ending in .txt". It got the shell date manipulation stuff completely wrong, and no amount of begging and hinting seemed to get it to work. It also seemed to prefer "ugly" things like piping through sed and another shell rather than using xargs.

Which is a lesson to not blow your money (I know this doesn't help those that are CURRENTLY in this situation). Tech people tend to think money grows on trees, they're paid far more than the median wage and that means they feel things like inflation and cost of living pressures less, but it does tend to result in an attitude that there will always be more money so why save.
