What's frustrating about social media closing off public access is that, most of the time, they don't even do it correctly--instead of showing a dialog or a message to sign in to view content, they just straight up show an unclear, ambigous error message. Twitter and Instagram does this AFAIK.

Also a bit OOT but there is also something that I think needed to be said: search engines SHOULD be clear whether a content is accessible without account or not, whether a content is accessible is paywalled or not.
Are you and I reading the same article? There's little about it that implies that one should hold off purchasing an EV for the sake of solid state batteries.

Plenty of reasons right now to hold off buying an EV; upfront or operating costs, lack of at home charging, inability to get access to fast chargers for whatever reason, inability to tow heavy loads to desired destinations, etc. I sincerely doubt solid state batteries is one of the concerns on most people's list.
Methanol also works, and doesn't compete with food production. You can make ethanol catalytically if you want, but you have to make methanol first.
The Freescale (NXP) i.MX28 series is the only possible SoC that has ARM9. It doesn't have any Android BSP IIRC. The screenshot looks like a modified AOSP of Android 4.x. How on earth can Android 4.x run on only 128MB-ish DRAM? So many questions are left here.
Having previously been in a project lead position, I've wondered about this myself. It's downright impossible to get a team to follow a project plan when you have no management authority over them. You can report the facts to their managers, but sometimes the managers don't care and there is no recourse.

Do the EV measurements take into account the energy used to thermoregulate the battery during charging? They should, because there are conditions under which the battery won't charge at all, in which case the efficiency goes to zero.

Text generation is only B tier if you try to give it a vague prompt and let it run on.

As it is provisioned for peak demand, the grid will cost roughly the same to maintain as it does today, even if people only use it 10 days a year. In this world, there aren't many options:

1. Charge a fixed fee to everyone hooked up to cover the cost of maintenance and repair (and servicing any bonds).

2. Don't charge a fixed fee, but increase the electricy rate by 36x (365/10) so the overall income is the same as before. This will bankrupt those few folks who can't afford their own solar-battery system (or don't have sunlight reaching their rooftop).

3. Have the government maintain the grid and generation infrastructure, similar to roads. This is very similar to option 1 (especially the means-tested version of #1), except the money is collected via taxes instead of a bill from the utility.

4. Let the grid fail by not maintaining it. Everyone must maintain their own self-generation infrastructure, with no economies of scale.

I don't think options 2 or 4 are wise...

> i don't understand why people say "meh" about companies copying apple, _as if it is apple's fault_

I'm saying meh because people copying Apple include the dumb decisions Apple makes without applying their own brain. Which in case of this specific thread is removing physical SIM slots. This is both Apple's fault for making a questionable decision as well as other companies for copying it.

Apple's global market share in 2023 was just about 20%, carried by it being 39% in the US; as such it is in fact below 20% in most of the world.

Seems a reasonable hypothesis to me. I noticed I can improve or reduce accuracy in many different positions by bending arm/finger/hand at an unusual angle until it seemed that my mind was a bit less certain exactly how twisted or crooked was the final configuration, and the uncertainty would lie most strongly in the axis I expected (the most bent angle) and most accurate in the most direct axis
Honestly quite a horrible reference for people new to IPv6. Seems like the author was more concerned with flexing how much they know about IPv6 than teaching anyone how to use it. In that rambling, wall of text and literal packet dumps no where are they even close to:

1. Explaining the basic details about IPv6's address model (e.g. what is link-local, what is global scope? where should one use them?)

2. Letting anyone make an IPv6 connection to various address types (gee, would be useful, right? Kinda the point, no?)

3. Maybe letting someone use their browser to connect to an IPv6 address. (also helpful as it would show the above catches.)

4. Hosting services that use IPv6 in software.

Can you really blame people for not using IPv6 when people try pull this shit.

> I don't feel that checking the capacity is something that would be in my tight loop, because checking for capacity to hold N is something you do before adding N items, which amortizes the cost, meaning the capacity check is just off the real hot path.

Your fallacy here is assuming that that just because N is a variable, therefore N is large. N can easily be 0, 1, 2, etc... it's a variable because it's not a fixed compile time value, not because it's necessarily large. (This isn't complexity analysis!)

> Speaking of realism, putting these in quickbench seems to confirm that the differences between them are not material, and that the STL version is in fact the quickest,

Your benchmark is what's unrealistic, not my example.

I'm guessing you didn't look at the disassembly (?) because your STL version is using SSE2 instructions (vectorizing?), which should tell you something funny is going on, because this isn't vectorizable, and it's not like we have floating-point here (which uses SSE2 by default).

Notice you're just doing arithmetic on the pointers repeatedly. You're not actually modifying them. It sure looks like Clang is noticing this and vectorizing your (completely useless) math. This is as far from "realistic" as you could possibly make the benchmark. Nobody would do this and then throw away the result. They would actually try to modify the vector in between.

I don't have the energy to play with your example, but I would suggest playing around with it more and trying to disprove your position before assuming you've proven anything. Benchmarks are notoriously easy to get wrong.

> So it doesn't feel like a realistic use case.

I only knew of this example because I've literally had to optimize this before.
Not everyone has seen every performance problem; clearly you hadn't run across this issue before. That's fine, but that doesn't mean reality is limited to what you've seen.

I really recommend not replying with this sentiment in the future. This sort of denial of people's reality (sadly too common in the performance space) just turns people off from the conversation, and makes them immediately discredit (or just ignore/disengage from) everything you say afterward. Which is a shame, because this kind of a conversation can be a learning experience for both sides, but it can't do that if you just cement yourself in your own position and assume others are painting a false reality.
Good to hear. I only follow specific users via nitter (via Feedbro extension)
Old media want it both ways: They want to get clicks by opening their sites up to search engines, and then they whack users up the head with paywalls, nagwalls, softwalls and other forms of vexation. If you want to click-tease, GET OFF MY INTERNET. (I don’t have a lawn.)

News is almost a commodity. Someone will report it. And in a post-truth era, with so-called objective reporters and analysis playing “both-siderism” when there is a reoccurrence of fascism (by their own admission) and how did that work out 1939 or so?

On “social media” and billionaire-owned outlets, many people see outright lies and conspiracy theories, fed by AI and Russian bots, and the reader is asked to judge the credibility of writers. AI-written articles are not labeled as such, degrading everyone’s credibility.

I was hoping that some kind of WikiNews would gain some ground, and one might yet do so. But AFAICT, the best sources of news are email among friends and family, HN and a relatively small, heavily moderated and bot-proofed social site of one’s choice, reflecting one’s preferences, not fishing them out of your content, so as to present targeted ads.

I can’t address the serious need that some find for getting out news of special interests such as astronomy, and various arts and cultures. I personally would not put my photography, or even open-source advocacy out there on a site with conspiracy theorists, domestic terrorists and threats.

Maybe a site like the old dmoz (dmoz.org returns a 400) or odp.org, which works, might help point people to sites of interest.

All those brains, and what do they do? In old media, they try to sprinkle ancient business models with electronic fairy dust. Others move fast and break things, with no intention of repairing the permanent damage they did.

The thing that’s missing is caring for the customer. I’m so old I remember hearing “Delight the customers and our employees” even if it was a lie.

Now, it’s just “Let’s use technology to extract the most money we can as fast as we can, damn the customers and employees”. That goes a damn long way towards explaining the kakotopia the internet has become.

All elements of mission statements other than “More profits” are bullshit with very few exceptions.
Good catch on the article. Maybe not peer reviewed, as I don’t know how Nature handles review on “comments”. But there are certainly editors involved, but that’s maybe no different from the editorial you posted.

But calling it “blatant marketing materials” seems hyperbolic. Similar to implying that I advocate for cutting down vast areas of rainforest.

And are you suggesting that the authors of that article bribed the editors? They didn’t even pay an open access fee (likely were not allowed to due to US DOE funding). Can you even point out lies or hype in the article?
While I don't disagree, it requires that both the members of government and the public have a decent technical literacy. I'm not sure how true this is even on HN.

I'd personally love to see the government build a lot of frameworks that can be considered "public goods" and be less reliant on private entities who must generate a profit. I happily pay taxes to serve many networks which operate as natural monopolies, such as roads. I'd also be happy to have that extended to such things as telecommunications. I'd happily pay more taxes if it got rid of my phone bill or internet bill. Though I'd say that personally this is conditioned on them being E2EE and privacy focused, since I consider that information having a higher potential for abuse in a single governmental entity than distributed among corporate powers (even if they still want to abuse it, they can do less and there are competitors).
The original collision behavior glitched (the ball would skip through blocks of the opposite color)when the velocity was higher, so I tweaked it a bit so that wouldn’t happen. That probably explains the difference.

Just to make sure, did you actually not know what comment I was referring to, or are you just upset that I incorrectly referred to it as a GP comment?

>Scholars don't blame the Ottoman anti-Semitism on economic malaise, but instead point to it being imported by Christian Arabs from Europe

So this was not a latent feature of Islam or Muslim culture, but an import from a more anti-Semitic culture (of course, the word Semitic here is not quite correct, given that Arabs are also Semites - I don't know why that word is preferred when the actual meaning being conveyed is anti-Jewish). The original poster I was responding to said this;

>the issue of anti-Semitism long pre-dates the establishment of Israel

Perhaps that poster only meant that anti-Jewish sentiment rose in the region a few decades previous, but the most common way I have heard of that belief, it comes from a "clash of civilizations" mindset that holds that the region has been rabidly anti-Jewish for many centuries.

Also, to your point that the Ottoman Empire only began declining in the 20th century, see https://www.britannica.com/topic/decline-of-the-Ottoman-Empi...: "But the grandeur of the Ottoman Empire did not last, and Süleyman’s rule was followed by a slow and arduous decline that spanned nearly four centuries."

There is precedent for deputizing the browser to stop this kind of bug with Access-Control-Allow-Headers. If the backend wants to default to ignoring multiple GET/POST parameters with the same name, then the browser could helpfully fail to make a request that attempts to send them.
> And like with the iPad, Apple doesn't make a profit from selling hardware…

Incorrect, Apple makes money selling devices (except potentially Apple Vision, in the short term), which have an average gross margin of ~35%. Average gross margin across all products is ~45%.
Yup. Meanwhile, if you did something like a 2011 GM Volt when it came out, you'd be several thousand gallons of gas and a rather larger amount of money ahead over "waiting and seeing."

In theory, anything is possible with months of developer work. The trouble is, there are billions of people addicted to social media. There aren't many widespread solutions to scrape it. Whenever a scraper becomes even remotely popular, Facebook takes action against it, as accessing posts outside the walled garden is a violation of their terms of service. Currently, I am using a combination of Feedbro and Nitter to scrape all the accounts I want to follow. They currently work with Facebook and have not been blocked.
