There's also a huge difference between someone who is working as an ML researcher versus someone working on AI infra or AI-based feature development.
> And like, all of that aside, even if you meet NONE of those categories, I still, frankly, believe it's not only possible but the only ethical response to all of this is: we should have a society that leaves enough room for people to fuck up occasionally without ruining their goddamn lives.

At this point, I don't understand what the fuck you people are talking about. This is an article about people paying for subscriptions they don't use, not people ruining their goddamn lives. The hyperbole is extensive, is this article posted to some Socialist Discord so everyone can raid the comments? Why is this level of bad faith discussion occurring?
I haven't tried it on a large project recently. How good is it?
Regardless of nomenclature, it is the PROCESS of entering the runway environment but not immediately starting takeoff that is confusing and should be eliminated.

No aircraft should ever be sitting still on a runway blind to landing traffic behind them. The time saved by eliminating the short taxi from the hold short line to the runway is not worth the additional risk incurred, either the risk of taxiing to position and failing to hold, or taxiing to position and holding while you get rearended by a landing aircraft.
'...blending work and life, is not anything to shy away from'

Maybe not if you're at the executive level, where what counts as work is much different than the rest of a company. But it's generally hard to fuse say, time spent fixing bugs at a desk alone, with the rest of life.
Nostalgia is for good things. I surfed the web for the entirety of 1999. It wasn't good.
With a small landlord it is sometimes possible. Even with the large ones if you let them know you are looking at moving you can sometimes get a discount for the year. Note that you need to be serious about moving to pull this off: you need to actively look at other places to live, and be ready/willing to follow through and move if they don't give you what you want. Apartments are competitive markets for new renters, but once someone is there the hassle of moving means people are often willing to pay more.

Once you learn the git-send-email flow, it is a lot better, especially for distributed development.

With the PR flow, people need to sign up to the website, create a fork, clone the repo, make their changes, go into a slow web ui etc. It mostly works because everyone is on Github. However, even that solution sucks if you are having a polyrepo setup and need to make changes in many places.

For bazaar style development where you accept contributions from anyone and don't use Github, the email flow is so much faster and simpler. Yes, you need to set it up once. But the other day I contributed to a open source project that was self-hosted, and it's amazing that I just can clone the repo, make my changes, commit and then git-send-email, bam done. Had I needed to sign up and create an account, set up a fork, I probably wouldn't have bothered because it was a small contribution. However no need to register to a website, no need to click through a slow ui, no need to create a fork, it reduces the ritual to make contributions by quite a lot, given that you've set it up.

There is also https://git-send-email.io/ which provides a nice tutorial for people.

I am glad that there is a good alternative that supports this flow, because I think it is superior. There are a ton of alternatives if you want the PR flow (Gitlab, Gitea, Github, Codeberg).
I miss the optimism of that era. I don't miss the weekly family beatings though.
I think AR/MR are good candidates for investment for Apple right now. They just launched sales of their Vision Pro today, shipping in two weeks. They are launching an entire new category of product which necessarily requires a broad spectrum of deep engineering investment. The current product is clearly too bulky and expensive for mainstream appeal, so they are going to need to release repeated generational improvements to both cost and size. The ten years from AR glasses is ten years of heavy product investment.

And as others said, there is a lot happening in AI too which would go well with headsets and phones alike.
Hey designers, they're gaslighting you [video]
How people laugh online
This made my day, thanks for sharing :)
> as willfully ignorant of the Vision Pro as those complaints were of the iPad, and later the Apple Watch and the AirPods

These are the evidence of the opposite.

Apple's hardware from the 70s and 80s, like the original Macintosh, were something special. NeXTSTEP, the Steve Jobs thing that got rebranded as Mac OS X when Apple bought them, was the first modern OS to be simultaneously good and popular. The iPhone changed what a phone is.

The iPad is an iPhone, but bigger. The watch is an iPhone, but smaller. These are not innovations of the same kind. They're the sort of thing you'd expect out of Facebook or Amazon or any other large mature bureaucratic corporation.

If the Apple II was the 70s and the Macintosh was the 80s and NeXTSTEP was the 90s and the iPhone was the 2000s, name the thing of this caliber they did in the 2010s.
if someone misses any of these, does it mean the person is worthless?
Odd question. The Czech government is the entity defining what is legal.

>to incentivize some of the farmers in California and other states to put up solar on their land

agriculture production - ballpark of 4000-10000kg per acre sold at $1/kg, 2 harvests/year, i.e. $8000-$20000. Solar per acre - 300 days, 10 hours/day, 200Wt/m2, $0.04/KWh - $160/day at 50% coverage, ie. $50K/year.

In general - the plants efficiency is less than 5%, ie. at least 4x less than that of solar panels, and at the end everything is about energy (and information as both are opposite of entropy (ie. life and technology is about decreasing of entropy in the local neighborhood by shifting/exporting it out of the neighborhood into the wider environment))
$50 a month won't get your retied, but it will free up some cash to use for better purposes.
Are you sure it is both directions? The article doesn’t say anything about Germans getting other citizenships. I am genuinely curious.
I had a PSP Go, The trick was to crash a certain game by loading a compromised save game file. Wonderful times.
There is more than one way to feel about this situation! I watch my finances, but the hours I spend on it feel wasted, and I am resentful of the people whose parasitic attitudes towards my bank account make this necessary.

It's as if, when I go to relax or exercise, my only option is hiking in a tick-infested field. I spend an extra 15 minutes prepping my clothes before going out, and an extra 15 minutes checking every inch of my body after I come back in.

It's true that all this extra work is my responsibility. It's also true that ticks suck (literally) and it would be preferable if there were a way to prevent them from parasitizing me in the first place.
They can, on SLS and Orion.
I think both can be true. Musk is a buffoon in the media and things like X haven't really panned out. But SpaceX is on their stuff well.

Both are true, IMO.
Yes. I agree. That is better way to put it.
Sure, switch to wind/solar. But at least mothball nuclear so they could be ramped back up (i'm not sure if that is possible with nuclear like with other power plants).

But yes, have a better fall back position.
from the article:

The complaint is about B vs. H characterization of magnetic field.
Yes. I got my start, back in the day, following along a magazine article on modifying an Atari 2600 joystick for use with the Tandy Color computer. Worked fairly well too, though I ended up modifying my Galaxian arcade game clone to work with it.
It's "interesting" to see the same old lies keep on being proffered, like Brave "rewriting affiliate links".
The hostile “you must call into an understaffed call center and hold for several hours” is definitely abusive. I believe NYT was particularly bad about this in the past.
I hope to see the time when it's normal to send a pair/party of multifunctional robots instead of a single rover. Imagine them repairing each other's back.

At some point I grew deeply disgusted of the flavour because of a chemistry bench experiment in school where we made the isoamyl acetate ester, which is basically what most would describe as the archetypal banana flavour... except that when you have a whole classroom of people doing that it gets extremely strong!

Took me close to a decade to enjoy bananas again. I still don't like bananas or pears that are too ripe, mostly because they become too sugary for my taste, but also because of the stronger flavour.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoamyl_acetate
I don't think I agree, but this is difficult to communicate in words.

Cantor's diagonalization argument doesn't rely on the contents of an infinite list of numbers, or on numbers themselves. You don't need to know anything about what "..." represents and you don't need to be "at" anywhere. There is no need to compute anything with concrete numbers.

The only thing the argument relies upon is whether the fundamental structure of numbers allows for defining a bijection. The proof/computation is an abstract relation, not a concrete one with actual number objects.
I got an Epson inkjet with refillable ink a few years ago thinking it will be the solution for me. Turns out I seldom use my printer, and ink does clog at the printing head if you don't use it once in a while.
I'd consider it mostly protected, because no their servers are not on OVH, just a single box performing front-facing NAT/proxy essentially. The attacker now just needs to find the "secret" production subnet and attack it directly instead of through the front-facing NAT addresses.
my solution to this is to not have any subscriptions except for property taxes, garbage, utilities, insurance and phone plan. and I absolutely avoid 30 day free trials (if they ask for credit card info) like the plague. the moment I see a credit card number entry field, I close the browser tab immediately.

but, I'd like to know, which companies have onerous cancellation policies?

The Apple Silicon project has to have been fantastically expensive.

They now use them in all of the watches, all of the phones, all of the macs, all of the ipads and ipad pros, all of the headphones, and the current and future AR systems (there is also a special Apple Silicon AR coprocessor in the Vision Pro, separate from
the Mx CPU/GPU/SoC).

They are designing and iterating like 4 or 5 different custom chips, with many of them incorporating industry-leading GPUs, and having them manufactured at scale (which I’m sure is not a simple handoff but involves additional engineering to support high yield manufacture).

This project alone is larger than most technology companies that have ever existed, and a lot of the staff for it must be extraordinarily compensated to retain them (as evidenced by the fact that a bunch of them recently left to start a new chip company (Nuvia) which was then acquired by Qualcomm for $1.4B).
The first time my consumer HP printer refused to print my black-and-white document unless I refilled its magenta or whatever, I tossed it in the dumpster and bought an $80 Brother laser printer. Zero print problems, ever, since the switch. And the original toner cartridge lasted damn near forever, with cheap replacements.

You couldn’t pay me to use an HP printer anymore.
Things still going on right now:

Prosecutions are still going on but are being led by the Crown Prosecution Service (vs. the post office).

Fujitsu are continuing to proving the CPS / post office with data that they have been doing for years (and possibly still providing witness statements, I dunno).

Subpostmasters still complain about bugs in the horizon software causing balance errors.

Subpostmasters still get fined and have to pay the Post Office ( automatically deducted from their salary) for any shortfalls that occur.
Depends on what you mean by “these”.

Artists who want prints often buy their own inkjet printers. There are a few good reasons—you can calibrate it, you can immediately adjust and reprint something if you don't like the output, and in the long-run you’ll save money over having somebody printing it for you. I remember doing the math on this—I’ve run printing services for art students and we charged the students 0% markup, so I got a good handle on what the cost savings were compared to commercial offerings (including Wallgreens &c).

The break-even point for an artist comes really quickly, if you’re someone who prints. It’s not even a ton of photos, you can easily come out ahead as a hobbyist.

The costs are also reasonably similar across the major inkjet printer brands (HP, Canon, Epson).
Happens to me all the time in Kerbal
I used to love doing experiments like this. I was afforded that luxury as a tech lead back when I was at Cisco setting up Kubernetes on bare metal and getting to play with setting up GlusterFS and Ceph just to learn and see which was better. This was back in 2017/2018 if I recall. Good ole days. Loved this writeup!
I have had a pretty good experience with Epson Eco Tanks. They cost more than an inkjet, but the ink seems a lot more reasonable...even when buying it from Epson.

Ok, now tell me where the O2 in CO2 comes from.

And where it goes after a plant captures the carbon.

Now read the original comment again. Did you notice the problem?

That wiki page is surprisingly unhelpful. The O2 on the atmosphere mostly doesn't come or go anywhere, but on geological timescales it is mostly created from water and absorbed by rocks. The phenomenon that entire page is about stopped billions of years ago.
x86_64 runs using QEMU for emulation, and it's incredibly slow. I'd call it practically unusable.
Define “better living standards.” Obviously has been great for third world countries. But folks in the west don’t seem to happy about the situation. I don’t think the widespread availability of cheap Chinese crap offsets the downside of hollowing out the industrial base and non-college jobs.
There's a blog post they did where they setup Ceph on some rPI 4's. I'd say that's not significant hardware at all. [1]

No. Like in any modern democratic country, it is legislature and not government defining what is legal.
I don't think incompetence is something that can be deployed evenly or not. The article provides no information that I can see that makes it a racist cop targeting a minority. Or is it racist for any first nation/aboriginal person to be subject to a police investigation?
It doesn’t matter what the opposition does, Conservatives have a massive majority.

This explains why the distraction is going on - just like last time when they got the last bill through.

I hate them with all my heart - not very HN of me, I know.
Yet the issues they brought up still persist today and are a sobering indictment why IPv6 (as IPng) fail to reach the objective it originally set forth.

Also, the link I posted doesn't involve highly stateful routers. It's talking about getting IPv4 clients that is IPv6 aware being able to IPv6 hosts without the involvement of an IPv6 gateway aside from Anycast gateway that could be outside of the balliwick of the client. Something tells me you don't understand what was being proposed.
Just wanted to say that I found this phrasing to be fantastic.
I haven't been able to find the " π " symbol. Has anyone else spotted it?
You could start by installing Proxmox on old machines you have, it uses Ceph for its distributed storage, if you choose to use it.
You would need transport infrastructure for the goods then. How many places have transport with no power infrastructure?

Roads are also generally worse for the environment than transmission lines.
> Why? That's much worse.

Congratulations, HNer — you're more tech savvy than my mom.

Perhaps you're volunteering to help vulnerable seniors like her navigate the Hobbesian nightmare of subscriptions?

I applaud your initiative, but if you're new to this, let me caution you: they don't always understand or follow the advice you give them precisely. Even if they are trying their best.
I think Starlink is justified because it results in tons of recurring revenue (thus funding R&D), not because they need payloads for their rockets.
> When data leak occurs, nobody's going to brute force random passwords.

People will absolutely bruteforce random passwords. There are entire communities (like hashmob net, not sure if I am allowed to link it directly) devoted to cracking as many hashes of breaches as possible. Dictionary attacks will get you most of the easy passwords, but are quickly exhausted.

> Why do you focus on SHA-256?

I chose this hash because, thanks to Bitcoin, we know how fast specialized hardware to compute that hash can be.

> Is there some kind of statistics that this particular kind of hash is common among hacked websites?

It's not the most common. That would sadly be MD5. But SHA-256 is not rare either.

> They'll just hit my head with wrench until I unlock my iPhone, that would be cheapest attack on me, independent on password length.

I agree, rubber-hose cryptanalysis can be very cost-efficient. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber-hose_cryptanalysis
Fortunately, many governments are opposed to this kind of cryptanalysis, but YMMV.
Performance vs. Diagnostic Metrics
The $800 couches we’ve bought online (wayfair, etc.) is absolute shit that only lasts 2-3 years. The $1500 couch we got from a local, well established store is about 10 years old and perfectly fine. The other furniture we’ve gotten from them has also held up well.

Obliviously any store, online or otherwise, can have overpriced rubbish, and a good furniture store is probably more expensive and slower, but I’d rather go with an established shop where I can go in and throat chop the guy who sold me a particle board piece of shit than buy one more thing from IKEA or an online store.
For anyone trying to avoid this, sign up to Personal Capital (bought out by empower or something), link up ALL your bank accounts, credit cards, etc. Then once a month go in and check every single line item charge and ensure the charge was properly labeled.

Now if a companies autocharge is extra sketchy, such as not informing you about auto pay, enabling it automatically, etc, just threaten a chargeback when contacting their support and most the time they'll immediately refund you.
> name the thing of this caliber they did in the 2010s.

Well, you had to wait for the 2020s, but Vision Pro. It's an entirely new computer, meant to be your primary device. It's similar to how the Mac came out when PCs already existed, but were just different.

Just wait 10 years until the market realizes it.
There's already a lot in the desert: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_plants_in_the_Moja.... I think maintenance is easier than a hypothetical Sahara megafarm because in the US we can still build them near existing transmission and roads.

They definitely do affect the local climate, and at a very large scale they can hypothetically change the albedo of the desert enough to affect global weather and climate patterns.
The kind of response you see in this case is a call for a payback for the miscarriage of justice that destroyed people's lives. Quite justified given what was done to hundreds of people.

Yeah, even when I was living paycheck-to-paycheck, I used auto-pay.

I'd just had a post-it note stuck to my monitor of the dates and usual amounts for the auto-pays, so I was never caught off guard or surprised amount money moving.

Mathematical intuition, deep learning, and Robbins' problem
"...The present article is an essay about mathematical intuition and Artificial intelligence (A.I.), followed by a guided excursion to a well-known open problem. It has two objectives. The first is to reconcile the way of thinking of a computer program as a sequence of mathematically defined instructions with what we face nowadays with newer developments. The second and major goal is to guide interested readers through the probabilistic intuition behind Robbins' problem and to show why A.I., and in particular Deep Learning, may contribute an essential part in its solution..."
That is nice, but we all know that does nothing to stop a decade or more of lawsuits. The Government could preempt all those lawsuits now by pre-clearing the areas so they can start building as soon as possible.
Everyone had to pass a security clearance that prevented them from accepting people with criminal convictions, but prior arrests with no-convictions were fine.

Our work required Canadian work visas for us to operate in Canada, and everyone had the correct passport stamps before ever leaving (this again was handled by the legal team).

We were getting hassled over the arrests without convictions (this was only air travel, we never drove).

I am fine with countries doing whatever the need to. I think citizens getting subjected to similar treatment (tfa) pretty unreasonable.
> they have horrible ideas that they think are profound

I'm not so sure this is a horrible idea from the standpoint of their business. Other businesses could operate differently and if people preferred that, they wouldn't buy HP. Case in point, I haven't heard anyone recommend an HP printer recently.
Worked at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for awhile. We encountered a lot of these cases and there are a ton of dark patterns as well as just straight-up not honoring the 300 page contracts that they had written. For the most part you come to understand that people are actually trying really hard to get it right most of the time.

The lack of knowledge is quite startling (but understandable, given how complex some of these things often are and how much time it takes to figure them out that people just don't have) and the pace at which it is exploited is very disappointing but inevitable.
