Sure, wasn't meant as a slight in any way. For certain use cases, that's a great set of defaults! It's very good to have an OS that makes those choices. Needing to explicitly opting into things that raise your exposed attack surface is really really nice!
Right now when I'm riding and reading a book, or using a laptop, I get really carsick. I wonder if the Vision Pro could make windows move or bounce in a way that helps my brain anticipate the movement of the car? That might be a way that AR actually reduces motion sickness.
"Europe Car Sales Drop in December Led by EV Slump" - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-18/europe-ca...

"...The strong decline in Germany, where EV registrations nearly halved last month, outweighed growth in markets including the UK, Spain and France.
EV sales rose 28% last year, but slumped by a quarter in December amid falling registrations for battery-powered cars also in Sweden, the Netherlands and Croatia. The European Union recorded its first monthly drop in EV sales since April 2020, the height of the pandemic..."

Give it time. ENIAC cost millions of dollars and took up a whole hall. 70 years later the processors we're using to post these comments cost 5-6 orders of magnitude less to produce 5-6 orders of magnitude more computations.
I think that further reinforces the point - There's an enormous boost from doing anything at all. In most things, there's a pretty significant falloff in terms of the reward of what you're doing but with exercise, you get that for pretty much every step along the way. For you it's deadlifts, for me most recently it was bench presses relieving tension in my chest and upper shoulders and neck which was giving me headaches. I'm sure I'd get a similar return if I focused on deep squats or deadlifts for a little bit.
TPM2 already has encrypted session support which does exactly that.
I'd like support on the JVM, in addition to rust which was already mentioned in other comments.
Agree that the first page is not very helpful. I found this "longform" to be better: https://folk.computer/notes/tableshots#towards-a-folk-comput...
Random brainstorm from a childless man: cameras, cameras everywhere, and some sort of AR tool for the carer, so the kids get tamagochi-esque meters. Beep, camera 4 spotted kid 7 needing interaction. Beep kid 5 is acting cranky, last drink 26 minutes ago, while you're at it refill kid 13's water bottle.

Yeah, very dystopian... Bonus if the AR overlay allows eye contact, we don't want the kids staring into the soulless face of an Apple Vision Pro ;)
I then assume the article is GPT-gibberish too so don't waste my time reading it.
You can escape any gravity with teleportation, but it's easier said than done.

Or maybe we're just a dumb civilization/species? Maybe it's also dumb to assume our intelligence is "normal".
For analytics, use a columnar database.

There are even other AWS Postgres-oriented options (check the pricing first):

ZeroETL from Aurora Postgres to (postgres-compatible) Redshift (Serverless?)
raku -MJSON::Fast -e 'my $d = {foo => 42}; say to-json($d); say "foo is $d<foo>"; say to-json($d);'

{"foo": 42}
foo is 42
{"foo": 42}

fwiw: raku has cleaned this up
> stuck on their old fork of Mono

Didn't they switch to .NET Core years ago? Of course for many platforms you have to use their CPP transpiler which complicates some things that might be possible in normal C#.
> Rust chose this approach to get zero-cost FFI to the enormous amounts of existing C and C++ code written using that model, and because the C runtime is the shared minimum of all mainstream platforms. But this runtime model is incompatible with stackful coroutines, so Rust needed to introduce a stackless coroutine mechanism instead.

Can anyone (withoutboats?) elaborate on this? If “stackful” coroutines means functions with an ordinary-ish stack that can yield, then those stacks are just memory, and you can take references to them. Heck, you can do this, slowly and painfully, in C, with setcontext. And you can mostly do FFI with a degree of care about stack sizes. You can even yield across FFI boundaries. In some sense, the coroutine objects implicitly created by Rust and C++ are really just stacks minus the hardware stack pointer part.

Also, I found this amusing as a kernel programmer:

> the implementations of each of these things are completely different. The code that runs when you spawn an async task is nothing like spawning a thread, and the definition and implementation (for example) of an async lock is very different from a blocking lock: usually they will use an atomics-based lock under the hood with the addition of a queue of tasks that are waiting for the lock. Instead of blocking the thread, they put this task into that queue and yield; when the lock is freed, they wake the first task in the queue to allow it to take the lock again.

When blocking a thread, Linux (and most conventional operating systems) put the thread into a queue, mark the thread as non-runnable, and yield, and when the thing they’re waiting for is ready, they mark one or more queued threads runnable so the executor, I mean scheduler, will run them so they can try again :)

Most OSes do this a lot more slowly than can be done in userspace.
In e.g. Texas if they fire you without properly documenting a flimsy non-protected-class-infringing cause, you may be able to draw unemployment. I don't know what the success rate is like for IT workers.
Also, physical security is sometimes the best thing because it maps well to all of our human intuitions and senses for enforcing it and detecting when it was violated.

Consider how different a wireless hacking attack is from one where somebody has to sneak up and stab your device with an RJ-45 plug.
Or just a c compatible ABI. The implementation doesn't have to be in C, it could be rust or zig or c++ or nim or ...
Wives read HN and enjoy new technologies too, FYI.
What do you mean? What sort of components?
As a huge believer in formal methods, this statement should _also_ be tempered somewhat. Formal proof is a great technique, but it's incredibly dependent on getting your specs right, which is very hard to do.

As an example, CompCERT is a formally verified C compiler, and it's had a couple bugs as a result of their specification of the underlying hardware being wrong.
Yeah, the web app is quite limited, it doesn't accept any kind of configuration. Implementing the Python absolute path resolution mechanism was actually quite challenging, as there is just too many ways you can handle absolute imports.

I've seen people using tricks like the `sys.path.extend(["src"])` in the main file for being able to place source code into an `src` folder, but unfortunately, dep-tree is not able to take that into account.
And that brings up the difference between frequency and angular frequency.

When you use hertz meaning ‘cycles per second’ it’s far more natural to associate it with an angular velocity of 2pi radians per second - which throws a bit of a spanner in the dimensionless works, and makes it feel like using 1/2pi as a radian makes more sense.

Score another point for tau I guess.
> The "AI" service consumes real resources - it is not free for them to operate, and is a new cost burden that cannot be absorbed by the existing pricing. It makes complete sense for it to be its own cost.

Sure is costs money to operate, most thing do. But that's not a good reason to have what is effectively an ad in a paid ide, plus a plugin that's effectivity dead code installed by default
I have been pointing out for years that space elevators are feasible from a class of asteroid called a "fast rotator". They do not need to be very big either.
I think there is something about optimizing for comfort.

I've had a standing desk for 8 or 9 years now and I stand probably 75% of the time. When I sit, my chair is not very comfortable but also standing isn't always ideal either. This is while also mixing in 2-3 walks or jogs through out the day.

After working for ~8-9 hours in that environment and being up for 14-15 hours, sometimes when I'm in a vegetable state where I'm laying in bed watching a movie I feel highly motivated to work on something but I don't have a laptop and the thought of getting back up rarely wins.

With that said, I'd say my most productive "programming thoughts" happen right as I wake up and am laying in bed. I often spend 15-20 minutes thinking about exactly how I'll solve something and then get to that during the day. This is for both work and personal projects.
You're not even 1%, maybe .000001%
Exactly. An attacker that has full access to the device can get past encrypted TPM parameters, it would just slow them down. The best method is pre-boot auth where the TPM itself requires a PIN to release the keys. Windows doesn't use that by default, but it can be enabled.
lol what "commons" even exists nowadays? Everything is privatized or driven by small cliques/inner circles. There's no commons to exploit.
That's rich considering that many of the new Windows apps shipped out of the box with Windows 11 are web based and use some sort of Edge based Electron-like container.
Yeah, this lives in the back of my mind too. I run debian on 11th gen intel, but with the non-free blobs included to make life easier. I've been meaning to try it without them, but it's too tempting to just get things 'up' instead of hacking on it.
I mean I made the comment because the field is there when submitting the post, I didn't realize it was going to end up as an independent comment. Maybe the HN devs need to make it clearer what will happen if you fill out that field when a link is provided.
The more fuel you have to pile onto the rocket, the less the weight of the engine matters.

Using the chart in the accepted answer, launching with chemical engines takes 50 thousand tons at 3x gravity and 3 million tons at 4x gravity.

Now consider a theoretical engine that has a 7:1 thrust to weight ratio at 1G but sips fuel. Take a 25 ton engine, strap 10 tons of fuel to it and 1 ton of payload. Watch it go to orbit on a single stage.

A real NTR doesn't save nearly as much fuel, but it can still be useful in certain ranges.
I have a corkscrew and am adept at using it. But I'd rather not! There is no benefit to cork.

I haave had a Babboe City (without an e-assist) [0] in the NYC for ~8 years -- and mostly leave it in storage in the NYC suburbs. It's a heavy beast without the an e-assist, and the few times I've had it in NYC & parked it (during daylight hours), people have left trash in it. I can't fathom leaving a ~$6,000 bike locked outdoors overnight, given what happens to cheaper bikes in NYC [1]. I'd love to use it more, but it's impractical.

Seems like they're just offering their perspective. I'm sure the author wanted other perspectives, seeing as they wrote a blog post about it, and then posted it here themselves.
> This seems... a bit specific? Was it a reference to a specific new language or was that more of a poignant wish?

Not very new, seeing as Erlang was open sourced by Ericsson in 1998. (The language itself is from 1986 but was proprietary up to that point.)
Build systems like Bazel provide mechanisms for controlling access at the module-level. If you're disciplined about not just making everything "public" it can be really powerful. Bazel is a very big hammer though and might be overkill for your projects.
The only way to block line of sight is to erect a wall in the middle of the road so I'm not sure what you want. Pointing the lights is a tradeoff between seeing in front of you and shining the light on other people who are in front of you.

There's no reason matrix headlights can't block light for any reason, the Teslas and other ADAS systems see bikers and pedestrians so I don't see why that wouldn't be possible.
Maybe I midunderstood. I read this as "get your own MBA through reading", not "read these books to help get your official MBA".

In any case, I think we agree that credentialization, flawed though it may be, is a reality that we've got to deal with, whether I like it or not.
Passing other cars with headlights has always been uncomfortable if you look at them. Trucks especially, if you’re in a car.

The trick is to briefly direct your gaze toward the right edge of your lane rather than the center, while you pass. You won’t be blinded that way.
Oh definitely. I didn't even realize you were the person that submitted it.
>All the primitives to make this work reasonably are there, OS and firmware vendors just aren't using them.

To be precise, both Windows (according to the article) and Linux+systemd (since systemd v251) support letting the user specify a TPM PIN and then use parameter encryption. But yes, both make it optional.
After writing this I went to write a tiny new feature for my side project on the AVP. At first I couldn't get my AVP to connect to my MBP and I thought it might be because it was in clamshell mode. I opened up setting and clicked around a bit then it showed up on my AVP to connect to (I went to Control Center and clicked the button to connect to a MBP, it didn't prompt me. It did prompt me the other day when I had the laptop open).

I started to write the feature but could feel the added friction and slowness. There was a little bit of input lag (moving mouse and feel like it wasn't moving as quick on the AVP), then I started getting an error from my backend in a place I hadn't touched anything. I very quickly took off the AVP to investigate with the "full power" of my MBP and external monitors.

The text in the AVP is clear when you are looking at your code but moving your head "smears" the picture a bit and anything you aren't focusing on isn't clear. It would be workable and maybe I'd use it on a plane but never if I have my monitors available to me. I want to try again in the next few days but it's a decent way off from replacing my monitors.

I see your point but disagree with it. It's not load balancing because you're not putting anything back to the grid at times of high demand. Yes, you're incentivizing production of renewable energy (good), but that could be done equally well by investing more in batteries, whether of the chemical or gravitational variety.
Lazy response. No reason that can't happen too. I don't know which systems support that. Research it and report back!
Just about everywhere in America requires you to drive to work. If you can't drive for 3 weeks, you can't work for 3 weeks. Do you see why this might be a problem
well at some point, long distance wifi is just a 4G/5G antenna

of course the protocol is not the same, but it's not very different either

4g/5g might also have techniques to improve connectivity in a 3km radius when you have buildings and so many other problematic things, while wifi was designed for building interiors.

I don't know how expensive is a cheap 5G antenna, but seems like it's a tech designed for longer distance, so why use wifi?
I stand corrected. I leave the post up, as I am pro public eternal shame :-)
Ehh, the Escalade was overrated. When I looked at that versus a Navigator (we really wanted a full third row, not a baby third row), a bit of bling, like you say, but the glitz and glam wore off quickly.

The Navigator definitely feels dated in terms of electronics.

My RS 5, though? A lot of thought went into many things. I can just drop my phone in the center console. Wireless charging, wireless CarPlay, AND a cellular amplifier for signal boosting right under the phone.
So the entire Microdot web framework is also intended to run on-device? I didn't grok that on my first readthrough
Wait, are you saying aftermarket LEDs are road legal in US, no strings attached?

Throughout Europe it's either straight prohibited to retrofit LEDs in place of halogen bulbs, or it requires special certification where beam patterns are checked.

I assume they've set up lots of reliable, accessible charging stations everywhere?

Befuddles me that EVs are manufactured and marketed before the infrastructure exist. It's like everyone in Butte, MT buying ICE vehicles in 1910 before any gas stations opened in the area.
That reminds me of living in Hong Kong in the '90s, I think the number one job title of the entire workforce went to "Amahs"--live-in maids/housekeepers--generally women from the Philippines and remitting money back home, often to children they seldom see.

Not nearly as terrible as what I hear about places like Dubai today, but the workers in HK still preferred to be employed by visiting westerners since it meant better treatment.
And most people who lift their trucks don't angle the headlights to downward compensate.
You're not just correcting people. You're saying things like "irrational Tesla haters" and "upvoters bring almost every negative Tesla story and hit piece on to the front page" and "you only hear about this one because it's Tesla".

That's less "noticing things" and more paranoia. And paranoia about something as trivial as a car brand. That is a significant loss of perspective.

An obvious problem with Tesla is its lack of commitment to the truth. When lying becomes standard operating procedure for a company then that company is not worth your time or money.

In 2016 Tesla claimed that "as of today, all Tesla vehicles produced in our factory – including Model 3 – will have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver". That was lie: https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now...

Tesla's video "demonstrating" full self-driving was staged: https://www.reuters.com/technology/tesla-video-promoting-sel...

Musk's cavalcade of lies about full self-driving, year after year: https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/

Tesla even feels the need to lie about something as dumb as quarter mile times for the Cybertruck. Their recent "quarter mile" video was fake. Lying is simply the company culture at Tesla:

https://insideevs.com/news/699260/tesla-cybertruck-porsche-r...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRYS5VWXZts

So instead of running around with paranoid fantasies that world is out to get Tesla, first ask yourself why Tesla feels the need to lie so often. Then ask yourself why it is that you have to spend so much time and effort making excuses for Tesla.

Maybe it isn't the rest of the world that's the problem. Maybe all those articles that you don't like aren't "hit pieces" after all.

Maybe the problem is Tesla.
There's nothing I can do about it, so I can either accept it or be angry all the time.
Generally it's taken for granted that the technological problems with generation ships can be solved with sufficient time and resources. We can probably build a metal box that lasts for a thousand years. We can probably design a sustainable closed ecosystem. We could probably build fusion reactors that run on interstellar hydrogen collected with ramscoops.

But the real problem with generation ships is not technological. Technology can't solve the fundamental social and psychological problems of locking some humans in a box for a hundred generations. That's the most important problem, and the one that's usually waved away with "oh you just can't imagine future technology"
What I hate most are the misaligned retro fits. But honestly I completely agree with you.
I think the limit that the parent was talking about is related to the number of student doctor seats at hospitals. That is a real thing, and the AMA heavily defends it.

"Beyond all this the lower coast-range, where, toward San Francisco, Mount Diablo and Mount Tamalpais - grim sentinels of the Golden Gate - rear their shaggy heads skyward, and seem to look down with a patronizing air upon the less pretentious hills that border the coast and reflect their shadows in the blue water of San Francisco Bay."

The visualization is actually inspired by Gource, but taken to the 3D space, it's a really cool project.

Golang is very challenging to implement, because dependencies between files inside a package are not explicitly declared, you can just use any function from any file without importing it as long as they both belong into the same package, so supporting Golang would probably require spawning an LSP and resolving symbols.

The reason for implementing dep-tree in Go was because things were going to get algorithmic af, and better to choose a language as simple as possible, knowing that it also needed to be performant.
Because we insist on telling people to Rebase as part of the standard workflow, which is just a huge footgun for people who dont understand what they are doing.
My point is that Cork is so laughably far away from making a meaningful dent.

> Today, I still write .net code (for a different employer) and I can barely tell whether I’m on Windows or Linux.

One of the most interesting and nicest outcomes of this has been wsl2, which has made Linux development in enterprises available, and palatable to policies and security requirements. While keeping that nice seamless experience. Without it my only choices were a mediocre experience directly on windows with its odd choices, or a mediocre experience with "we have UNIX at home" on macos with its handwaved away deficiencies.
>I think atmospheric density is more dependent on magnetic field than gravity.

Atmospheric density is very much affected by gravity. I'm not sure magnetic field has any appreciable effect at all on the density of the earth's atmosphere. Why would it? The vast majority of the atmosphere isn't charged, so doesn't interact directly with magnetism.
