You will want to place the machine below the level of your mattress, but not on the floor (on account of it sucking up dust and whatnot). Preferably on something sturdy, not a flimsy sheet metal table that will vibrate and make more noise.

When the fan is spinning at a constant speed, the noise level should be low. When you switch from inhaling to exhaling, the motor will ramp down, and then up again as you inhale. If you have EPR enabled (or if you are on bilevel), the motor will spin down even more when you exhale, meaning it will have to work harder to spin back up when you inhale. This can cause more noise.

Much like in software architecture, everything in CPAP is a tradeoff. High pressures can cause mask leaks and excessive farting. Low pressures can be more comfortable but can cause snoring or apneas. EPR can cause noise and possibly reduce efficacy. Heated humidification can improve comfort, but requires more maintenance on mask/hose/tank. One mask make be more quiet, but may start to leak as you roll over. Etc.

And much like software projects, every patient is slightly different. Finding out what works isn't easy. Fortunately, you have the rest of your life to optimize therapy. And the better you optimize, the longer that life will be.
I just replaced the condenser fan (was squealing) and the evaporator defrost heater (it wasn't working at all, leading to the coils icing over) on my 20-year-old GE fridge. I threw in some SwitchBot BLE temp sensors that I monitor with Home Assistant, with alerts set to fire if it can't hold temperature or if the defrost cycle doesn't seem to be working, as measured by the swing between the "pre-chill" before defroster heater kicks on, and the temperature/humidity rise as it works.

$40 in parts rescued a fridge that my subdivision neighbors each traded up years ago the first time theirs started acting up. I already had the BLE sensors.

Wikipedia calls these "orphan initialisms", with a couple of citations (halfway down the page for Acronym): "an existing acronym is redefined as a non-acronymous name, severing its link to its previous meaning." But yours is catchier.

Oh, I see they have "anacronym" too, with a fine distinction of meaning. It's the difference between the word officially ceasing to stand for anything, and the public generally forgetting the word stands for.

While I'm not disputing that Philips Respironics are an evil bunch of cunts, half of those symptoms are strongly correlated with just having sleep apnea and/or being on CPAP, even without cancer foam.

Dirty water tanks/hoses can cause infections or cough. Having sleep apnea is often associated with having asthma. Exacerbation can lead to pneumonia, etc.

I'm assuming the FDA didn't just look at these patients in isolation, but compared them to non-Philips-CPAP controls and to untreated apnea controls?

Yes, I'd like the OpenBSD approach a lot more if the specially privileged syscall library was a language-agnostic library just for syscalls instead of libc.

Also, if you're gonna add new ELF sections anyway, why not do syscall "relocation" directly (with a similar randomization like ASLR) instead of going through stubs? This "relocation" doesn't actually need to change any memory or use any offset tables since the syscall numbers are a farce under the new system anyway. Just make it a map of the location of syscall instructions to implied syscall numbers. Once you've phased out the old syscall model, you can even repurpose RAX as an additional syscall parameter.

Microsoft Conferma la Versione 24H2 di Windows 11: Cosa Aspettarci dall'Aggiornamento del 2024

di Taras Buria @TarasBuria · 2 febbraio 2024 16:58 EST 8

24H2 in Cima alle Montagne

Windows 11 si prepara a ricevere due importanti aggiornamenti quest'anno. L'atteso aggiornamento "Moment 5", con alcune migliorie, è previsto per la fine di febbraio o marzo, mentre una versione più sostanziale è programmata per la seconda metà del 2024.

Per Microsoft, è ancora presto per rivelare dettagli sulla nuova versione di Windows 11 (chiamata 24H2 per la seconda metà dell'anno). Tuttavia, già si possono notare accenni a questa versione nella documentazione ufficiale di Microsoft. Gli utenti hanno individuato riferimenti alla versione 24H2 di Windows 11 nel sito web Microsoft Learn, in una pagina che descrive la funzione EnumDeviceDrivers, permettendo agli sviluppatori di app di recuperare l'indirizzo di caricamento per ogni driver del dispositivo nel sistema.

"A partire dalla versione 24H2 di Windows 11, EnumDeviceDrivers richiederà SeDebugPrivilege per restituire valori di ImageBase validi."

Microsoft ha pubblicato l'articolo su EnumDeviceDriver il 29 gennaio 2024, smentendo la possibilità che la menzione della versione 24H2 sia un errore di battitura. Nonostante ciò, questa breve frase conferma solo ciò che era già piuttosto ovvio senza fornire dettagli interessanti, linee temporali o funzionalità specifiche. Le versioni di Windows si decifra come un anno/metà, quindi un grande aggiornamento delle funzionalità per Windows 11 rilasciato nella seconda metà del 2024 dovrebbe ottenere la versione 24H2.

Circolano voci che suggeriscono che Microsoft intenda promuovere la versione 24H2 di Windows 11 come un aggiornamento incentrato sull'IA, con numerose nuove funzionalità basate sull'intelligenza artificiale e hardware dedicato, come le unità di elaborazione neurale presenti nei più recenti processori di AMD, Intel e Qualcomm. Allo stesso tempo, Microsoft vuole garantire che anche gli utenti con hardware più datato possano beneficiare delle funzionalità legate all'IA. Ad esempio, una delle ultime build di Windows 11 Canary consente di utilizzare la funzione Voice Clarity su sistemi senza unità di elaborazione neurale.

Esistono anche voci non confermate che suggeriscono un aumento del requisito minimo di RAM per i cosiddetti "PC AI" a 16 GB. Tuttavia, potrebbe trattarsi solo di una raccomandazione e non di un requisito (Windows 11 richiede un minimo di 4 GB per l'installazione senza modificare gli ISO ufficiali).

In conclusione, l'attesa per la versione 24H2 di Windows 11 è carica di aspettative, con prospettive di innovazioni legate all'IA e migliorie hardware. Mentre attendiamo ulteriori dettagli, resta da vedere come questo aggiornamento modificherà il panorama del sistema operativo di Microsoft. Restate sintonizzati per ulteriori aggiornamenti.
On the BSDs they sure don't, /proc (for its role referred to) and /sys are peculiar to Linux, /proc is not even mounted by default on FreeBSD, is deprecated and doesn't exist on OpenBSD. On OpenBSD/FreeBSD most of the info comes out with sysctl(3) or reading kernel memory directly.
Technical founder ISO co-founder with sales experience
Hello.

I am a technical founder in search of a non-technical founder with a sales background. If you have an idea to work on, even better, because I am currently flat out of ideas. Basically, I need a monetary reason to continue working with the tech I know, so if you can help with raising rounds and sales, please get in contact with me. My email address is in my bio. Hopefully the date and time I am posting this will be an indicator of my work ethic. Thanks!

HN. Splitting off a sliver of a community isn't necessarily viable, but that sliver is alive and well on HN and posts about design that are interesting tend to get upvoted, but not a whole lot of those posts are made. It takes effort and that's in part why reddit is so successful, there is enough traffic overall that niches can flourish that would never succeed as a stand-alone website.

HN solves this problem by not having categories, which is another valid path. But to make a 'HN for designers' is DOA unless you are willing to put in a lot of time, effort and probably money to attract and retain an audience.

I had a Sears Admiral refrigerator that was built in the 90s which recently (three months ago) had the compressor go out. I've had the refrigerator since I purchased the house in 2001 and I have performed zero maintenance on it, so it was no surprise that the... uh... solid dust build up finally wore out the compressor fan. Though my wife and I did purchase a new refrigerator I intend to replace the compressor in the Admiral because >25 years is a good run and I expect the resurrected refrigerator [when I get around to resurrecting it] will outlast the new one.

I've never hooked up water lines for ice makers for my refrigerators, including refrigerators at my other properties. Call it a hunch.

What a great article; thanks for posting it. Too bad it didn't get more traction; hope it get posted again and gets more attention.
I think the chances of a human being existing who knows enough about a specific topic that they can write a paper about it, and who is also an exceptionally clear writer, is pretty low.

So if you want the knowledge, you go in knowing this. If you don't want the knowledge that much, wait until it becomes a popular topic and people make books or blogs about it.
I don't suppose your sleep specialist elaborated? Suffocating in your sleep is really hard, this is why people with sleep apnea don't just die instantly, instead we start to feel awful over a very long period of time. Your body wakes you up when your breathing is compromised (usually in response to an increase in CO2).

Guess they're just covering their arse with that advice.

Also, when you're on nasal CPAP, and pressurised air is being blown into your nose, you'd have to have really weird things happening to suddenly get a nose that's completely obstructed in spite of the pressure....
If you can afford it, get Miele or specifically the Bosch models that are made in Germany (many lower-end Bosch models are contracted out to e.g. Turkey, and not quite as good).
Like I said in my comment, if you saw one that didn't appeal do you then you need to watch others. There are plenty with imperfections and there are plenty without.

ISTR there was sort of a love-hate relationship with a lot of nVidia chipsets.

nVidia always had the trump card of saying "if you want SLI, you have to buy our chipset." But conversely, a lot of the options weren't great. VIA tended to alternate between decent and incompetent chipsets, SIS was mostly limited to the bottom of the market, and ATI's chipsets were very rare.
> vendor lock in

Not sure the word "vendor" is exactly correct when using standard PostgreSQL functionality though, as PostgreSQL has multiple vendors providing that functionality. So, not really "vendor lock in".

The term is clearly correct for databases with only one vendor though (Oracle, etc).

No, I mean like, in the entire period of using HN.
That's terrible. Suppose you want to go some amount of social good that will cost you $15M. Let's say. Develop a new drug. Maybe you want to do something crazy, like don't patent it. It's clearly great for society. But nobody will give you money to do that. Your only recourse to do it is to amass wealth yourself and fund it personally.

Now you have a created a society where that sort of social entrepreneurism is impossible.
Liebherr has been good to me. They also make industrial machinery so maybe that culture transfers over internally in the company.
I think it's just that the community is so big now. If 1% of 100 regular posters are likely to get into flamewars over crypto, then that may result in a dozen comments or so. If 1% of 10,000 regular posters are flamewarriors, well...

An interesting heuristic I've seen play out a few times now across different communities (and that HN is starting to suffer from now on more contentious topics) is that too many comments on a post means that it's low quality. A handful of comments on an old post means there's not a lot to say about a topic; too many comments means that there's not a lot to change your mind about

Lying is a deliberate action. The thread you link to seems rather to expose accidental bad benchmarking and poor communication/explanation of results, probably in good faith and due to inexperience.
My GE dishwasher made it about 4 years and my range hood just under 6(needs a new blower due to spun bearing now and it was never sealed well). Garbage.

But the first year service rate for even high end dishwashers is very high(over 10%!). Got a Bosch and got lucky so far but it still feels like luck..
Exactly - Miele, or Bosch Series 6 or 8 are usually made in Germany with longer warranty. And Siemens(which is just rebranded bosch nowadays, usually with even better finish and longer warranty).
Didn't they get paid too much by the government to install those lines?

Yes, penguins don't swim like sardines either and snakes don't "walk" like apes.

There is no privilege, I was just using it as an example to illustrate that what human beings do is different from what LLMs do, even though they are all called "intelligence".
Your information is a little out of date, Microsoft Docs became part of Microsoft Learn, so MSDN is actually now Microsoft Learn, or part of it at least.

Look at the sky in any given photograph of china.
I hate myself for saying it, because of all of the buzz/hype, but LLMs can assist here.

You get better intent assessment than with NLP/ regex/whatever.

Plus HN is entirely in English, so you never have to worry about lexical resource gaps.

There is no off the shelf solution - afaik. In addition I have no idea how expensive running costs will be.

But something serviceable can be built.

Siemens is same as Bosch, incl factories.
But yeah look whether an appliance was made in EU or outside.
I've never understood why people need to use libraries to "manage state", i.e. store variables.

I've written a lot of code in many languages. C, C++, Obj-C. Why does Dart need state management libraries?

None of my Flutter code uses "state management", and I've never felt the need for it, ever.

I think people are just too afraid to use static variables (globals) when necessary.

I've come across browsers embedded in another app. One of them was a coupon-app. Apparently, people open these for the coupons, and have to browse somewhere, but then keep browsing inside the app. It had a weird user agent. And of course the PlayStation browser, that was another weird one. So there might be real browsers in the rest group.
The class of missile was nuclear capable.

The specific inert rocket involved had no warhead, and apparently no fuel, being just a casing.

This is equivalent to describing a seized shopping bag based on the notion of what potential contraband might have been contained within it. My complaint isn't with the Bellevue Police Department (a missile is not in fact a shopping bag, and deserves investigation), but with the BBC's headline editor who really shouldn't publish such clickbait.

Well, the good news is that there aren't enough of these a*** to destroy it.

When Wikipedia started and even like 10-15 years ago that wasn't a common belief. Especially in Germany. "There are some assholes on earth, how could you dare to believe something voluntary and open to everyone will succeed?!?" (others already posted that it's not unfounded given real world experience)

Wikipedia though is my preferred counter example for that.
I don’t know what “Greed is linear” means.

Greed is unbound, if it is really greed. And it’s exponential, if it simply means ambitious and wise use of resources.

I would ditch the psychology economic babble.

There is certainly a case to be made that increasing employment by expanding the money supply is an addictive short term fix paid for with predictable long term damage to the purchasing power of existing laborers.

Inflation leaves valuable assets just as valuable, but undermines fixed or sticky income streams.
Thank you, wow!
Except these are _developers_, people who are, ostensibly, computer experts. Yes, computers are hard! And version control is a hard problem. I don't expect grandma to learn git, but nobody suggested otherwise. If we can't expect software developers to learn their basic tools, then I really don't know where we go from here.
