Long overdue! It should not have taken this long to officially recognize his contributions.

"Kids" nowadays don't even know of the true "Greats" who made The Internet as it is today, possible (they have forgotten "standing on the shoulders of giants"). I always point folks to the classic early-1990s Internet System Handbook by Daniel Lynch and Marshall Rose which explains the then Internet Architecture with chapters written by the greats like Jon Postel, Vint Cerf, Van Jacobsen etc.
Dear God, we have got to let some of this go. Kids deserve a chance to be a little rascal and grow out of it. The authorities can’t even check to see if the door is actually locked until they’ve been actively murdered one by one for an hour.
There is an interesting dichotomy I dont understand. We've seen the push to cloud saas, but a push to shrink llms to run on device.

Why?
I fully accept that many Palestinians are motivated to take up arms against the Israelis by a justifiable sense of grievance, but the issue of anti-Semitism long pre-dates the establishment of Israel and exists far beyond the Palestinian Territories. I really don't want to understate this point - from an outside perspective, it is almost impossible to comprehend the depth of hatred against Jews that exists across the Middle East.

Improving the living conditions of Palestinians is almost certainly a necessary precondition to lasting peace, but it is far from sufficient. Unfortunately, we are now stuck in a very stubborn vicious cycle - the Israel-Palestine conflict perpetuates anti-Semitism, which perpetuates the conflict.

If it isn't newsworthy, why is it on Hacker News?

This is discussed in the site docs, it's fine to get news from HN but HN is not really about news.

Yeah, I’ve only used them a few times, perhaps less than 20 in my life, but I distinctly remember that using them took more strength than I expected, hah.
What is that question even for? What are you saying?
> Franks were a Germanic people and were much more culturally affine to the Anglo-Saxons.

It very much depends on what you mean by Franks. As with everything in History, terms themselves have a history that must be understood.
Clovis-era Franks were a Germanic people. Later in the Merovingian era not so clearly, as Germanity wasn't a defining characteristic of the Franks as a people and Germanic origins were seemingly forgotten.
The push East under the later Merovingians and early Carolingians likely produced more Germanic-speaking Franks than there were before.

As for Charlemagne, while he couldn't indeed speak a language that didn't exist yet (French), considering the area his family was based around as well as his constraints and style of government, it would be surprising if he wasn't bilingual in Gallo-Romance and High German. Bilingualism is heavily implied throughout the Carolingian era in a lot of the written source, and explicit by the end.

Hi, Mesh co-author here. Mesh should not introduce any additional TLB pressure - the number of virtual pages remains the same, so the number of TLB entries does not change. It remaps existing virtual pages to the same physical page once they have been meshed. Using huge pages is an entirely different question, and one that would require novel techniques to adapt meshing to that setting.

> That's not entirely accurate.

It's fair to say that it wasn't directly created by them but their actions in the years prior did lead to the end result. The UK administered the region and had committed to making it a "national home" for the Jewish people. That doesn't necessarily mean a state, but the result was a rapid shift in demographics.

It didn't help that the UK had also made promises of independence to other groups in the region.

> There was indeed a UN decision to partition the land and to acknowledge Israel, but no one was enforcing it. The Arabs and Jews were left to battle it out in a horrible war. Jews were facing the real possibility of a second extermination only 3 years after the holocaust (I don't think I'm exaggerating the consequences of what defeat would have looked like).

I entirely agree with you on the situation that Jews in the region were faced with at the time. One of the depressing things is that despite the proximity to the holocaust, antisemites in allied countries saw the situation as a way to encourage Jews to leave.

I can see how things might have turned out better if there hadn't been so much migration in such a short period of time.
"Warn us about it so we can insider trade on it!"
I really think this is insanely poor strategy on Apple's part. They know damn well that they're simply delaying the inevitable, and probably in deluded hopes that this can get watered down significantly with enough effort, but I don't think the public or the government regulators are going to be amused by these stunts in the slightest.

They manage to get away with a lot by virtue of having probably the best PR in the entire computer industry as a whole, I don't think that's an exaggeration; but if they keep pulling moves like this, I feel they risk losing a lot of their public support. For me, it's quite unusual seeing even the most popular comments on sites like MacRumors absolutely trashing and condemning Apple--there is usually at least one highly sympathetic perspective that has a significant amount of mindshare, but in this case, it's hard to not see how egregious and petty this really is.

And to be fair, I doubt their famously positive reputation is going anywhere overnight, but there are definitely cracks forming, especially between this and the near-miss with the CSAM scanning debacle.

Well, the ball is in regulator's courts. I have mixed feelings about some of the EU tech regulation, but that doesn't justify malicious compliance like this, and I hope that regulators do their jobs and send a message that Apple (and Google) are not above the law.
Big tech companies don't get big and stay big by hiring tons of humans to handle cases like these. Don't believe me? Try asking Google to fix a problem or Facebook or Twitter. (Apple is the exception, but they are much older and even they have issues)
even when evilCorp has their own in house team of evilLawyers, they normally hire outside evilLawyers to handle the cases at trial. in house evilLawyers might not have court/trial experience, and the type of evilLawyer that likes court/trial tend to not like office evilLawyer work. also, in house evilLawyer might not be registered in the state of the trial.
> A lot of people don't really "watch TV" as much as "let the TV on so they can hear people talking in the room".

I guess I'm guilty of a variant of that, I always have something going on on the TV in my office at low volume, but it's never anything I have to pay the least bit of attention to (it's usually reruns of old TV shows, or multi-season stuff I've seen a zillion times on Hulu), and it's just background noise to break up the monotony.

But I suspect such high numbers for that show means someone is actually watching. It was entertaining enough, but I'm just floored at it being #2 of all the shows they have
Copy-and-paste, I guess.
You've lost me a bit on this.

Are you saying people who don't pronounce their aches should use "a" and not "an"? Because that would sound weird trying to pronouce two vowels like that.

We have two main ways of saying words like "hotel". I (with a rather non-descript vaguely southern accent) pronounce the H in hotel, and so say "a hotel". Many people from London and the south east (especially Essex and the parts of the home counties that has a large influx of North Londoners) will generally drop their leading "H" and say "an 'otel".

There is a third accent which is a minority, the rather extreme upper class accent where they also drop a lot of their leading Hs, and therefore use "an". That's not "posh cockney", that's just "posh", a lot of them have always spoken like that. Even among the posh I'd rank that accent as relatively rare these days.

Id does all lead to the occasional argument among slightly dull people about whether you should write "an hotel" or "a hotel".

What do you think of magnetic linear motors like the one in the new Peoploly Magneto X? Does it help achieve substantial improvements in backlash?

BTW I would have expected accuracy would be quoted from a fixed reference point, that would coalesce all the repeatability scenarios you laid out into a single 'worst case', error-does-not-exceed value. (Are you implying with low accuracy but high repeatability you could get good results that are, conceptually, simply offset by whatever margin? Or that you'll get jagged edges / artifacts / incomplete or overdone cuts at scales below the stated accuracy threshold eg. if you have a corner approached by cuts from different ends?)
The workaround is to use a heat exchanger so that you're not drinking the stored water, just transferring heat from it on-demand.

I think Google’s strategy of using watch makers for WearOS is dead, Fossil was last and biggest one. With Android Wear (WearOS 1), it was all electronics companies. With WearOS 2, it was watch makers. The watches were slow cause of using old processors. But they had normal and interesting designs.

Then WearOS 3 unified Android and Samsung’s Tizen. Also, Google makes own Pixel Watch. The new watches had better processors. I got the feeling that the watch makers had a hard time with new tech.
I really want to try Linux and escape the Apple ecosystem. The main things holding me back are two things.

1. I use Raycast(an alternative to spotlight) that allows me to search files, open applications, open browser bookmarks, chat with GPT 3.5/4 instantly all with my keyboard. They only work on MacOS and I don’t know how to attain those levels of personal productivity on Linux

2. Good design. I do not like the design of WindowsOS at all and really enjoy Apple’s design in general. My design tastes lean to towards minimal, dark mode, colorful, “rounded corners”. I am looking for an OS that would be designed like apps like Linear, Notion, Obsidian, etc.

If there’s a disro out there that can solve these two things. I would love to switch to Linux

Yeah yeah you're still trying to cite the single opinion piece that has no sources for Hamas supposedly being willing to make peace.
Hamas's official statements on "peace" are here: https://thehill.com/video/hamas-we-will-repeat-oct-7-terror-...

And their 2017 charter didn't say they were willing to make peace with Israel; in fact it only stated that it was justified to continue fighting Israel as it claims it's an occupying power. Hamas views all of Israel to be "occupied," not just 1967 borders, so that is a call for permanent war. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Hamas_charter

Hamas offered to join the PLO

No they didn't. Why do you keep claiming that? They ran against Fatah in 2021: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Palestinian_legislative...

And once again, the PLO doesn't exist.

Running in PA elections doesn't mean anything about their "peace" plans; they ran in 2006 and certainly had no peace plans then either: they had a charter that literally called for the genocide of the Jews (not Israelis! Not "Zionists." Jews).

Brooklyn doesn't get to decide that

Developers can certainly choose Android to develop features that Apple prevents them from doing.

If Apple was really holding back progress, it wouldn’t take long for consumers to start choosing the superior Android platform.
The reason iPad is good is not because you're not allowed to choose what browser engine to use. It's, largely, because the hardware is simply better than anything else on the market.

I think it is amusing that there is a contingent of Apple fans that actually believe the platform will get significantly worse because people are allowed to sideload and install browsers that have their own browser engines. I think this is a truly ridiculous line of argument. I don't like the other line of argument, which goes somewhere along the lines of "We should tolerate Microsoft-esque anti-competitive behavior because otherwise Google Chrome's anti-competitive behavior might win", but that is literally a better argument, to be fair.
A little background on that source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliance_for_Natural_Health
It's not about what percentage is the correct commission for stores but the fact that Apple doesn't allow other stores or installation of apps outside their store.

A publisher can ignore all game stores on windows or macos and still sell their game directly to user if they wanted to but they cannot do that on ios.
Look at the Time of Use plans that CA IOUs have on offer and you can see why this is happening. Most of them only have 2 modes: high and low, with only 4-9 as peak. If they actually wanted to manage the duck curve, they could easily put a steep discount at the hours when the problem is most pronounced, and promote EV charging, laundry, etc be done during those hours. This is just another example of the IOUs failing to innovate, their captured regulator doing nothing about it, and ratepayers continuing to pay more for all of it.
I really don't get how battery manufacturers have have the better part of a decade of with batteries sold pretty much before they've been manufactured and still haven't scaled up to capture that demand

Thank you. That was wonderful! I couldn't figure out from the linked X (formerly Twitter) post what it was all about.

The issue is that sure you can fight that out in court-- at great cost and expense and risk of being unsuccessful for reasons of pure chance.

Or you could just not retain the record and instantly avoid what is potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost for review and argument and millions of dollars of "loss in the expectation". A 1% chance of failing the win in your argument and taking a $100m loss as a result is a million dollar loss in the expectation, and even a darn good legal position will still often have a more than 1% chance of being lost.

> these little things could tip the balance out of your favor.

Yes, and out of the direction of justice... and certainly at a disproportional cost.

A phenomenon frequently encountered around here. :|
But what’s the difference grammatically if there’s a space or not? Let’s take “streetcar stop”, although there is a space there, what function is “streetcar” performing other than being a noun? It’s not an adjective, you can’t say “that stop is streetcar”, that doesn’t sound right, you’d have to say “that stop is /for/ streetcars”.

So I would argue that “streetcar stop” still parses as a complete compound noun grammatically. This is just a matter of orthography in my opinion. German may more readily “freeze” compound nouns and put them into writing as a single unit, but both English and German are full of long ad hoc compound nouns.

I defined stat arb in the glossary at the end but probably should have included a more obvious link.

TL;DR: this is a pairs trading strategy that relies on the (very strong) statistical assumption that the price of a token on a centralized and decentralized exchange will converge.

My longer definition below:

Stat arbs: in finance, statistical arbitrage generally refers to any trade where a pair of assets should statistically move in a certain way. However, there are degrees of should. TradFi traders might reason that Meta and Google are both in the ads business, so if Meta is relatively expensive and Google is relatively cheap, they should short the former and long the latter. However, this is a weak argument. Perhaps Meta is just a better business or Google has structural problems. A stronger stat arb thesis is that Royal Dutch Shell used to be traded on both American and European exchanges. If the shares were trading at different prices on each, nearly risk-free profits are available to those who close the spread. This is what stat arb means in a crypto setting. AVAX may be trading at slightly different prices on Binance and on various blockchains.

Whilst I certainly respect the names you mention, we can’t pretend that the Internet of today is as it was in their imaginations. The Internet is the world’s largest collaborative project and is exactly the sum of its parts. The design envisaged by these people is exactly why no one person or small group of people really deserve to be put on such a high pedestal.
