Ask HN: Is it possible for a Bluetooth earphone to play audio without the case?
I lost the charging case for my bluetooth earphone yesterday, but the audio kept playing from the ear pieces for an extended period of time(2 hours).

I was using the earphones outside, while the case was in my pocket. At a certain point I realized my pocket was empty and the case was gone. I searched my backpack inside and out, and checked all of my pockets. I am absolutely sure that the case was not on me, but for some reason the earbuds kept playing audio. After I searched the area for the case and failed, I gave up and went home which is an hour away by train. For the entire duration of the journey the audio kept playing, and I was able to change what song was playing as well. After I came home and the battery died, it stopped playing and that is where I'm at.

In this case, is it possible that audio was playing without the case and just the earbuds? Or am I missing something here?
You knew you would have to pay for the ca version, but did you know how much you had to pay at the beginning. I buy the disk at Costco every year and feel the pricing is anything but transparent and they are very misleading. It includes the state free but only paper file and $10 credit for a mystery price state return
Apple's claim is "photon to photon" for the 12ms timeline, iirc. Which jives better with the actual frame rate of the headset.
That is basically planned obsolescence. The world (except a few regions) is essentially out of IPv4 addresses.
Doubt it'd actually work - remember, humans.

I think the "random but actually meaningful" route is better. If you want it to get checked, grandma's name comes off fake name generator, not line noise from a CSPRNG.
How can they confirm that the email addresses were all from previous breach corpuses without buying said corpuses? Attackers could have been probing for first name + last name combinations to confirm business email addresses, for instance. Just because the parameter was "email address" doesn't mean that those email addresses weren't automatically generated.
You've explained that wonderfully, thank you! I'm not the original commenter, but was also confused by my intuition here. That makes a lot more sense now :)
Who Controls Your Thoughts?
You can't "outsmart" someone whose salary is predicated on doing the most frictionless version of the work possible and still get paid.
The "HPE Battery for real-time clock" (otherwise known as CR2032) from the an official Australian HPE spare-parts supplier was listed at $50AUD. Now, those types of listings are behind a "Request Quote" partially, IMHO, because it was shared around a number of VARs as a joke.

Maybe the extra money was for the oversized boxes and packaging HPE spares are sent in...
Cars are special. Car owners are usually so dependent on them, that over the course of the ownership, they'll likely spend more on parts and repair than they originally bought the car for. Cars are in the Goldilocks zone of "any repair is, individually, much cheaper than replacing the car" plus "not having a working car quickly becomes more expensive than either". Can't think of any other product regular people own that's in similar situation.

This is a proposal/suggestion by Kim Andrew Elliott that I think makes sense, changing the focus from an audio-focused medium to a text-focused medium. And nearly everyone has an acoustic-coupling decoder with their smartphone.

This would help put infrastructure in place for when the internet is blocked (usually by governments trying to control the flow of information).
Unemployment played a large impact in my parents divorce. Which pretty much haunted me until 25.

Unemployment is also the largest contributer to male suicide in the entire world.

So while they are not victims of a crime or mistreatment, they are certainly victims of circumstance.
I'm a novice but doesn't this bring back the spectre (ha) of process (or cache?) security concerns that have cropped up with multithreaded approaches in the past years?
Ask HN: Best country to run a boostrapped startup from? (After Section 174)
I'm currently a US Citizen living abroad in Taiwan.

If I want to run a bootstrapped startup while living in Taiwan that sells to mostly US based businesses, but is developed by 1099 contractors in Asia (which have a 15 year amortization period I believe?), is there a new "best country" to open the company in? Singapore? HK? Taiwan?
Peloton's status page isn't a good submission. Nothing really to dicuss.

> I see no indication as to how Dylan will actually be held accountable for the decisions that ultimately led to this.

I believe you're reading the sentence differently than how it's being conveyed.

Dylan is talking about the decision to layoff will improve the company for the future. If it does not then the board should "hold him accountable" and remove him.

You're hoping that Dylan gets punished for being forced to layoff employees.
Nuclear battery: Chinese firm aiming for mass market production
Constructive criticism.

I would like to see much, much more in a demo. Probably around 20-30 minutes.

What was shown in the demo video was seemingly the functionality of Dropbox, shown working with one file manager and one OS.

I know it is more than that. I’ve checked your docs. You have branching models. You have cross OS support. You have a lot going on.

But that demo video really put me off. It doesn’t demonstrate anything that seems particularly useful to me, especially on the main selling point: version control. It spends most of the time showing automatic file sync, which (although not easy to do) is a basic feature of so many cloud storage platforms that it doesn’t have the wow factor these days. (It’s also a feature I find annoying and would want to disable, but it seems to be core to your approach so meh)

I know not everyone will jump immediately to the demo video to see it, but it’s what I did, and honestly… I’d scratch it and do a full intro video and put resources into doing it right.
I doubt your second sentence. Considering the prevalence of memory safety bugs in C/C++ code, when both Firefox and Microsoft report a figure of ~70% of bugs involving memory safety, generous deployment of tests, fuzzing, sanitizers, and linters entails a mix of not being a silver bullet and being cumbersome to use. On the other hand, many programs written in Rust, Go, Kotlin, etc. won't need escape hatches at all and likely won't have any memory safety bugs.
I agree, but layoffs are not necessarily sacrifices. layoffs really are necessary sometimes.
Minimum six months severance pay + healthcare + cash bonus. That is incredibly generous all things considered.
> there’s absolutely no need to do the things other people do, ever.

For example you and I cannot have this exchange of comments without using a language we both speak. That's an example of doing things other people do, whether you want to or not, in order to achieve your own goals.
I don't use Facebook nor Threads so maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't Facebook Wall equivalent to Twitter timeline in the first place?
I enjoyed talking to Lonnie the owner when I was in the area.

My only complaint is the gym can become a bit crowded, quite often I had to wait for the power racks.

It baffles me how there’s no more strength gyms in the area, most places I saw offered instructor led classes only.
if by "heck of a lot less shitfuckery" you mean "makes it a lot easier to exfiltrate all the data on a network" I completely agree, that was pretty much my point.
Then why are other down status submissions commonly accepted?
I don't necessarily disagree, but we're getting into the weeds here. My point is just that choosing to voluntarily end a business arrangement, within the the terms of the agreement, does not constitute "victimizing" someone. Otherwise, the employer could claim they're a victim when an employee quits. A store could claim they're a victim if a customer starts shopping at a different store, and so on. It's ridiculous.

The tendency to cry victimhood at every obstacle is pernicious and debilitating to those who practice it. I would encourage people to avoid it.

If not, then federal free through FreeTaxUSA. Depending on your state, the state taxes manually via PDF + paper may be extremely quick - like five or so lines, and a single table lookup.
For a while I had an account that had, as a last resort for recovery, asked me random questions about the town I grew up in. Like, “which of these roads were near your house.”

Had no idea, googled them… there’s some security theater that I don’t think anybody could have been reassured by.
If you're serious this is way too deep for me at this time - can you expand on the difference?

Trello reveals these via their "share" functionality. Put in an email and you get a name and username. This isn't a leak. It is designed that way.
Not only the name is matched here in Hong Kong, but the address as well: so many people don't believe it, and I have to strongly insist they just write it better and poof, payment works !

I think it's a sort of option / depends on amount: some sites don't ask more than your card number and it works, some other you need to redo 5 times before they match properly. And anyway here you need to approve in the app like for a Google 2FA in Android.
I think it could be about hiding the level of accuracy. I remember sometime back learning that there are many cases where sounds are added back for comfort and the expected experience that customers are used to, so perhaps this is one of those cases where they have continued as a company to mask their true power and just like with everything they do, they cannot appear to be a monopoly so they need to fake the accuracy defects and all that while behind the scene they are actually tracking it all ..... who knows.
I just generate a short set of random words.

A CSR is much more likely to expect correct or similar words than a correct or similar string of gibberish.
Everyone overhired the last 3 years thinking the good times were forever. They’re probably overloaded with roles they don’t need anymore and have needs in other places so it really doesn’t make sense to keep folks.
The reasoning in the post is not backwards reasoning, it is literally the information theory of compression, described in human-friendly terms! But I must add the caveat that the original post is really only saying that it's rather trivial I think that LLMs are learning _some_ world model, not that they learn it very well. But that this must happen in the limit! :D

As far as the quality of the world model goes, I think is important. What I'm focusing on in that post at least , I thinks, is that people debate whether or not LLMs even encode a world model, which is such a silly thing to me.

Like you brought up, I agree that discussions about the quality of said world model are interesting, and how far whatever [trained XYZ model is] in that rotation towards learning said world model is. I agree that there is a lot of very interesting discussion there!

One rough proxy is to measure the different types of variance within the noise of the model, the more high-level and believable it is, the higher-level the representations in the model. But, of course, this is just a rough human friendly proxy. Actually measuring this, maybe is quite difficult! D'''':
I agree, this reminds me RFC 1925 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1925), that states:

"With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead"

I interested to this topic after watching this video related to a presentation of an engineer owner of Youtube channel in presence of NASA staff:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoJsPvmFixU&pp=ygUZc21hcnRlc...

so I read the documentation and , yes , I agree.

Anyway, the NASA book he mentions is really worth to read.
Perhaps I'd better understand what exactly your argument is if you could explain to me why devices which by your own admission "have no shell, do not run javascript, and have no browser" would have any relevance whatsoever in a discussion of whether more devices have a user-accessible shell or user-accessible browser.

To me it seems they are just about as irrelevant to the topic at hand as anything could possibly be, but you are getting very hung up on including them in the debate for reasons that elude me.
Every time I disable a Brave Rewards setting, a new one seems to pop up. It's in the address bar, it's on the startup page, it's in the sidebar quick menu, it's in another section of the startup page, it's in the tab bar when I open the browser settings, the crypto stuff is everywhere.

I wish they'd auto hide all that crap for you after you click "not interested in cryptocurrency stuff".

Disable JavaScript. That helps a little bit. Keep js off by default on all websites, and enable it by individual bases.

What is the rationale of promising to not reapply? If a company is hiring again 6 months after some layoffs, what would be wrong will rehiring an ex-employee who was one of those laid off, assuming they are the best candidate for the new job opening?
A couple months ago I got a new router and some stuff didn’t work until I turned off ipv6 (I don’t recall what, exactly)

I tried that solution early because when I first got Google Fiber the Amazon store website didn’t load, on any machine in our house, until I turned off ipv6. If stuff tries to route over ipv6, it doesn’t work, has been my entire experience with the protocol on the open internet (private networks seem Ok)
Xeon was/is their workstation line, isn't it? Just curious how you got into a situation where you wanted to optimize a game for that type of hardware. Do gamers actually have Xeon hardware? (Why?)
A few situations apply for me. I write checks to churches when I show up in person, even for a $1.00 votive candle. I can toss it into the collection basket or the donations jar for donuts and coffee. However, more churches are improving their online donations, and I write fewer checks as a result.

I also cut checks as part of online bill payments. If the bank can't identify an electronic recipient, then the payment gets mailed out on a paper check. This happens for my landlord, and anything I can't set up for AutoPay from the other side. I can even send money to friends this way: anyone with a postal address, and I don't pay fees or postage for this Bill Pay service.

In fact, I make use of Bill Pay so much that I didn't reorder checks for one account. My father was mystified by that decision.
Which is absolutely important once you're a business with a bunch of subnets, the kind of network that would be on 10. in IPv4.

If you're on 192.168 and you just want the convenient addresses, go for it.
> Before that, many civilisations were collections of entrepreneurial households. (Plus slaves/serfs/servants.)

Those were the exceptions, not the rules, the slaves, serfs and servants were the bulk and what is happening now is that we are re-creating the conditions where lots of people will have nothing to offer but their physical labor, in that sense it is the reverse of the industrial revolution. But couple AI with robotics and you might not need those people at all. What do you propose to do with them? What about the millions of translators, truck drivers, copywriters cab drivers, couriers and so on?

If you propose they become entrepreneurs in what domain should this happen? And what will safeguard those domains from being usurped in turn?

It's interesting how the fact that civilization has adapted to date gets taken as proof that it will always work but that's faulty logic: this time it may not work and even if it worked for society it most definitely didn't work for all of the individuals in it. And this time around it may not work for the majority of the individuals in it.
Security questions often require you to share other bits of PII and they aren’t hashed or encrypted either.

Why do I have to tell a stranger over the phone my mother’s maiden name to confirm I own the account? That’s not my info to share, it’s my mother’s.
> It can be a grind working on a project where everyone is mostly independent but coordinated. Most OSS projects have no project management or support staff to help. In fact, most projects frown on companies providing that service to a project because it looks like control.

> "It is often hard for those working so hard to say no. Many find it hard to self-monitor for burnout and few know how to step away without full decoupling."

This should give a hint towards a solution: add some support stuff to shield off the developers (of course these people are not authorized to issue directives to the developers - we are not at a commercial company).
this is not possible anymore.

you're legally required to give the Gov and the banks etc your children's personal info.
Those services are on the internet .

Worse yet, schools and community services all require Meta (Facebook) accounts to access them.

I try to compensate by telling my kids that they need to create fake persona's when playing games or chatting on the web. But I can see that this is not going to last.
I bet they did it via the "share" button. Put in an email and Trello returns a name and username. Would be pretty trivial to have a bot slowly enter emails over time.
Aren't planes allowed to fly with a certain amount of "brokenness"?
Yeah I agree with you in principle, though I don't want to get in trouble with the people who have guns and handcuffs.

Private businesses on the other hand can f off. My credit card co can't come and handcuff me for not giving them an address to leak to 3rd party auto ads.
I’ve done the same thing as the author (not the last name thing but the rest) and I did it because I don’t want to make decisions for my kid without their consent. Being on the internet is a bell you can’t un-ring.

Photopea.com is actually pretty great. It works on any device under the sun and it's free (ad supported, with a subscription if you don't want ads).

It's good enough that I stopped pirating a copy of Photoshop ages ago. Not perfect, but pretty close to it.

Another program the IRS is rolling out is called "Direct File"[0]:

In 2024, we're launching a new pilot tax filing service
called Direct File. If you're eligible and choose to
participate, file your 2023 federal tax return online,
for free, directly with IRS.

It appears to be limited to a handful of states thus far.

Logistics, unfortunately. Assembling and selling a million washing machines is simple and streamlined. Keeping track of parts for them, when you're building 30 very similar but oh slightly different models of the same washing machine to fuck over your customers (er, segment market) - well, now that becomes a Hard and Expensive problem.
The "share" button for a board does. Share a Trello board and enter an email. It returns a full name and a username in the response and sometimes the UI.
Interesting, for me that just takes me to the page + content. I do run a bunch of ad blocking stuff so maybe that's the difference?

Tor Browser does letterboxing for anti-fingerprinting of usable window size, which can be kinda painful, with sometimes large margins of lost display space.

Any current thoughts on this, and on Brave's approach?

I see a request for letterboxing in Brave, and a PR that does randomizing of some values instead:

* https://community.brave.com/t/feature-request-letterboxing-i...

* Bug 23170: anti-fingerprinting: hide screen size and window position #13737

I think it's important to be clear that this isn't some small startup. Trello is Atlassian
Right, clearly SIMD vector primitive ops are not what you want for a 3d math lib.
No. Due to spectre and other similar issues, all of them (at least all the sane ones) sell cores, but will count each core as either one "core" or more commonly two "vcpus".
Yep, it crossed my mind that AWS has no incentive to optimize this particular process since they have planned to monetize it :/
Click saver:

On 17 January 2024, the Government of the Czech Republic approved the material "Restarting the implementation of DNSSEC and IPv6 technologies in the state administration". On the basis of this decision, the Czech state administration will stop providing its services over IPv4 on 6 June 2032. Thus, the Czech Republic knows its IPv4 shutdown
