Just did some reading on image signal processors and then noticed that Apple calls out that the A series chips do ISP on-die rather than via a dedicated co-processor, so it seems like you’re right and a significant part of this chip is just to be a DSP of raw sensor input.

I guess the unknown is what exactly happens on this chip vs the M2. Clearly some computer vision is being done to do object/people recognition and to separate out objects in order to place the content in 3D space. And then there’s stuff like deciding when to allow the external environment to “break through” immersive content. And of course placing the content in the scene.

It seems like those would make the most sense on the R1, since it avoids contention with “userland” processes. But I don’t know if those tasks are more GPU tasks or DSP tasks. If more GPU, then I guess this thing is a SoC with a lot of die space dedicated to DSP.
Texture up-scalers misunderstanding Normal directional is a pet-peeve of mine, as seen in the texture upscale example in the article [0]. The floor tiles are supposed to be the top most thing and the mortar holding the tiles together as seen in the gaps is supposed to be the bottom most thing. But it's the wrong way around. Furthermore normals generated from RGB misunderstand topology thickness. The dirt is on the tiles give the same height variation as the mortar. Basic thinks that would never happen with human authored textures.

It's highly debatable, I'll give you that.

The problem with your point is that it's single ended, because the scale and scope of deployed Rust or Go software has not matched that of C/C++ software. We also don't have particularly good data on how many memory safety bugs are in a project with good deployment controls versus ones that aren't.

We also don't know how well tested any of the vulnerable Microsoft code actually was and so I'd be wary of drawing any broad conclusions across languages from that simple statistic. It's also likely self reported and not likely to be rigorously gathered for this type of analysis.

The fact that there's such a large difference between C/C++ projects with respect to historically discovered vulnerabilities to me suggests that it can't be down to the language but how the project deployments are engineered.

You're one unnoticed checkin of an "unsafe" construct in any of these languages away from having the dreaded memory safety vulnerability introduce itself into your project. Even worse, you could have a crate that has an unsafe block you didn't previously call, but a new checkin now calls this extant and disregarded method. So, what do you do? The language hasn't done anything for you here. Use an analysis and/or fuzzing tool? So, how are we anywhere different because of the language?

Even for Go, a language I love quite a bit, if you forget to synchronize shared maps with simultaneous reads and writes you're in for a panic, and possibly real safety bugs. The GC and the fact that "unsafe.Pointer" are "slightly hard" to use isn't a huge attribute as it leaves entire classes of bugs on the floor with the tines pointed straight up.

Yeah, I'm not saying there's no correlation, just that you see the full-on halt kick in after Chernobyl. Which makes intuitive sense to me. Even though our reactors were very different from Chernobyl, the incident was so much more extreme and the distinctions were probably largely lost to the general public.
It's a tp-link Archer, and since it supports Wi-Fi 6 it must have been from 2019 or later.

Hmm, I just went deep into the settings and there's an IPv6 toggle (disabled by default, and requires playing with menus to make it actually work) now. I don't remember seeing that (and I explicitly checked) when we switched the ISP-side last April. But the firmware is dated after that, so I choose to trust my memory.

Actually trying to connect to ipv6 stuff besides the router itself (in fd00::/8, that's good) just gives "Destination unreachable: Beyond scope of source address" though (probably because I only have an fe80 link-local address though?). If I play with the settings some more I get a ::/64 address, but that just gives me a black hole ... wait, is that even a legitimate address? Do I need to fill in the prefix manually or something?

I'll play with this some more in the morning I guess. But I certainly wouldn't expect a normal user to get IPv6 working under these circumstances if I haven't figured it out yet ...

The way you need to model it is to mentally add friction/cost for retrieving tickets after some time. Doing things right now, without making them tickets is often easier, because the problems context is still fresh, both to you and your customer. So potentially needed clarifications are easier to get while things are fresh than if you made them a few weeks down the line. This is especially true if the customer asks about minor things and these are a blocker or a huge annoyance to them. Fixing them right away will make you shine more than just putting it on a stash.

But if you find yourself constantly fixing things that were specified and should actually work you got a problam with code quality. And if you constantly have to add small new things there is a problem with your customers clarity and a bigger meeting might be in order.

Shopify is my guess; I was part of that layoff and the timing lines up. They had those exact terms and paid them out in addition to WARN act minimums contingent on signing of a severance agreement. I had the same offer but declined due to issues I had with the severance agreement.
Given that the layoffs are hitting artists and content developers more heavily than the programmers, it is unlikely that Section 174 is the motivation for these layoffs.
Great stories of DMCA in practice these days.
They probably stripped the phone down for parts. But there is another theft case where they hold a knife/gun to you and tell you to hand over the password/wipe the phone. Which this update solves.

The other issue could probably be resolved with more aggressive part ID checking. iPhones should just refuse to function if they have a part from a stolen phone.
That makes sense to me. I think you're right that if you're a large enterprise, it may well make sense to adopt a very API-centric strategy for how teams interface, even if the scale doesn't demand it from a tech perspective.
Has anyone noticed that there are now 78 comments on this post and no Rioters checking in? Have I missed something?

On any HN corporate layoff post, we should expect some volume of named company FTEs or impacted folks commenting. There seems to be a pattern here that has been ebbing and flowing over the last few years.

Should this be a titled phenomenon/effect? I see at least 3 options here:

1) Named company employees do not read/post on HN (if true, is this HN content? divergent topic...)

2) Named company employees are coerced or otherwise compensated to not comment on these matters, even if they do not directly impact them

3) Named company employees do not care about this n% layoff and are withholding comment

Similarly.

And why is that bad? Because once you run out of money everything is cooked

Yup and i cant even have virtualization enabled to use docker or I cant play Valorant. I have to constantly toggle and reboot system.
most people would say on-call or responsible-for, both having vastly different connotations than accountable.

saying accountable isn't wrong per se but it's definitely not the connotations anyone would say on the spot when on-call or responsible-for are vastly more accurate.

in particular, on-call brings with it all the baggage that being on-call requires. responsible-for implies you have a responsibility, it does not imply a negative consequence if you fail to meet that responsibility (it doesn't preclude it, but it doesn't imply it either).

accountable implies being held accountable which implies a negative consequence.

saying you're held accountable for a system very strongly implies there will be a negative consequence for failure whereas responsible-for does not.

it's what's technically allowed vs what people actually say.
David mentioned it but SQS `MessageGroupId` can get you really far on fair-ish work from the queue. Its effectively a virtual partition key for the queue. Set your customer id, resource id, etc as the MessageGroupId and use that to do the work allocation.

You can still use a shorter hash of the Mac address.

Collisions are very unlikely, and a quick ARP packet should detect them if they do happen.
So then you'll have curation to find the gems in that noise.

But it's still not clear why this is worse than the situation where not everyone can create perfectly-rendered pieces of whatever idea is in their head, and have to rely on others to do it for them, while being limited by what they can afford and what those others are willing to paint.
> NVIDIA RTX Remix [...] is a platform for remastering fixed function pipeline DirectX 8 and 9 games, such as [...] Half-life²

I'm confused by what they define as `fixed function pipeline`. Those games totally have a lot of custom shaders rendering all kinds of complex of lighting. As someone with OpenGL but no DirectX experience, I understand the "legacy" way of the intermediate mode functions and the "semi-modern" way of binding vertex buffers and drawing them via shaders. Those games fall in the latter category, so what makes them fixed function pipeline games?
Tencent lost a lot of value because China decided to crack down on a number of Asian business video game business models last year, and this directly affected a large portion of Tencent's portfolio.

However, according to their Q3 filings (Q4 has not been filed yet), their video game revenue is actually up and they specifically cite the performance of Valorant.

So the issue for Tencent wasn't Riot Games, it was its Chinese developers.
Ah good question! Of course I knew in future years, but I'm not sure I knew up front.
> Making a statement about X not doing Y is not a complaint, it's not a request for others to do work. It's not an order from a disgruntled customer.

I’m sorry to say but the comment above came across that way to me. Someone has gone to tremendous effort to build a great tool and opensource it. The reaction?

> Instrumentation for everyone but only if you are on Windows. It so sad to see the level of support for Linux in this domain.

This isn’t “cool project, it’d be even better with Linux support”. I read that as “I’m actively sad you released your project without Linux support. Despite all your free work, my life is worse because you haven’t gone the extra mile to also cater to my needs in particular”. There’s no balance there. No acknowledgement of how much work it might be to add Linux support. Or that the commenter has no interest in lifting a finger to help out themself. I can only speak to my own reaction, but I found it a bit of a lazy, entitled comment.

And by all means criticise away. This is hacker news after all. But it’s also hacker news. A place for the people who build. Sitting on the sidelines and complaining doesn’t impress me much. To use your metaphor: not every critic makes a good filmmaker. But this isn’t a forum for movie critics. It’s a forum for filmmakers and budding filmmakers. You don’t have to be great. But you do need to pick up a camera to earn my respect.

~1/3 of bipolar people fall into the category you are describing – rapid-cycling bipolar.

for the rest, the cycles are months long, whether manic, euthymic, or depressed, and often following seasonal patterns.

clinical bipolar disorder vs. the ups and downs of human life are quite different. it's difficult to understand unless you have seen a loved one suffer it, or have been afflicted with it yourself.

While the specific names escape me, there have been a few projects over the years that have replaced DirectDraw or Direct X DLL files with re-implemented counterparts that tend to work much better on modern hardware.

I believe in one such case, the original StarCraft would run with really buggy colors using the official Windows DLL files and a drop-in DLL replacement would fix the issue (these days I think Blizzard has shipped their own fix for this issue).
20 bytes / 1 Gbps = 160 ns per hop. That's 0.016 ms additional latency over 100 hops.

On the internet, most links are faster than 1 Gbps and most paths are shorter than 100 hops, so that's a conservative estimate.

If you're sending lots of 10-byte payloads, then IPv6 requires (40+10)/(20+10)=166% as much network capacity, but are you really filling up an expensive link with VoIP traffic?

The danger with extension acquisitions is malicious buyers, who use their ability to run arbitrary code to steal credit card numbers or credentials, insert or replace ads, run cryptocurrency mining, etc. For malicious purposes number of installations is the important thing, not how clonable the extension is.

> one of the batteries had leaked and seems to have caused some corrosion on the contact

A reason why I have switched to NiMH rechargables. They leak less often. I've also grown tired of recycling spent alkaline batteries. Also Energizer has no leak guarantee on some of their batteries. I've got the green ones, Recharge Universal.

If they were budgeting, they wouldn't be living paycheck to paycheck. It makes the budgeting more challenging to give the government and interest free loan.

However, giving the government an automatic loan means that a land lord cannot charge that much more in rent, and the owner does get to spend it eventually, rather than throwing it into a rent pit
That's a feature, not a bug. If we build things to last a bit longer at the expense of a slightly higher cost we can save massive amounts of waste from being produced and use fewer materials. We don't need to crater everything but we also don't need as much -stuff- as we currently buy. Yes there are implications for lower income folks but that's a symptom of a problem that cheap plentiful flimsy shit isn't going to fix at the expense of the planet.
They know and if they don't they should not be a co-author.
I probably wouldn't want to use an open source project without builds (unless it was trivial to build, such as a node project with npm). Not saying anybody have to provide me with anything, just pointing out the obvious.
Not what you might expect: we were building small distributed solar thermal plants that stored energy in a tank of supercritical water (basically: inject steam into tank of water -> it condenses; open a valve on the top and it flashes out as steam).

Since the pressure varies depending on solar flux and how much was in the tank we couldn't use a turbine (the shape of the turbine is tuned to a constant flow) so instead used multi-stage steam engines (the first new steam engine designed probably in 75 years. These were ordinary container-sized pressure vessels and the steam engines were built into a container too. Easy to repair; you could make your own parts, and last forever.

Cheap PV and batteries killed it.

Arno was full of good advice.
So why were there 119 screws if it was fine to be missing 4 in a row?

Aircraft are usually built with a factor of safety of 1.5-2 or so - meaning it's probably only in the design spec for one screw to be missing in a row...

At this point we’ve got 5k “insights” all tied to customers & prospects. It helps us identify smaller things we might have missed, and makes it really easy to get a lot of historical feedback quickly when we do decide to tackle a feature.
everyone pays something for launch, no matter who they use, and SpaceX has to build and launch the rockets themselves. Starlink may be getting some sort of deal already, but it's monopolistic to utilise your own technology (especially when it's government funded) and deny others the same right for the same price.

additionally, Starlink's D2D is like what 6 satellites? most of the existing sats cannot be used for device connection, so the playing field is very much level and open to many.
