I am not sure about the bargain part. It is a window in the roots of Chinese society and mainly its relation to rural communities and villages (from a sociology perspective). I would recommend it to anyone trying to understand a society based on its people and not its politicians. Also anyone from a rural small town in the US or any other country, I think will enjoy it.

USB-C can do 40Gbps. That's more than enough for a bunch of screens and cameras.
That's not what I'm saying. I don't care either way, but I also don't push to change the demographics. I have no reason to, I don't define the strength of a country based on the color of the population.

It’s easy to write that from the comfort of a western nation with reliable electricity where bellies are full and most household chores are done by machine.

The rest of the world very much would like that same standard of living (food, physical comfort and safety), and for that - they need affordable energy.

For portable you could buy a Diamond antenna but beware of fakes (https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/how-to-spot-a-fake...) See that you buy one with the right connector (RP?, male/female). I have an srj77 from diamond on my anytone that fits and works fine.

For larger handheld or fixed you could build/buy a yagi antenna that has a higher directionality/gain.
Haha, yeah I mentioned it more out of interest. My karma has fluctuated between ±10 since my initial comment. Currently about where I started. I genuinely find the phenomenon interesting, I've never really understood the blind loyalty apple endears in its fans.
There was a fancy kitchen design store I wandered into a few months ago, and they had a few really interesting refrigerators.

You opened the door, and there was SPACE. The refrigerator was taller than I was, and very wide. I think it was subzero, but I could be wrong.

It seemed like you could take the 30 lb turkey from thanksgiving and just set it on a shelf, without giving up much space.

Afterwards looking at other refrigerators, even the ingenious ones, I was struck by how complicated they were. You would still be fighting to find a place for something in the refrigerator, or looking for something you lost.

For computer folks, it was the refrigerator equivalent of an organized rack of servers, instead of a bunch of systems crammed under your desk with wires going whereever.
The most valuable time any family can spend together is exactly when:

The "Rest of the time we just spend time at home not doing anything in particular".

You are correct and I meant to acknowledge that in my comment. I took them to mean "here" as U.S.
Micros were 8 bits because that's the sweet spot in the trade off between usefulness, complexity, and expense.

With 8 bits you have a reasonable instruction space, simple access to a 16-bit address space, and a good platform for ASCII.

It's a minimal viable CPU - powerful enough to get non-trivial general purpose work done, easy to package into VLSI, and cheap enough to sell in quantity.

But the design went in the opposite direction. The original micro - in terms of market positioning - was the PDP-8, and that was 12-bits. The 16-bit PDP-11s were a step up from the 8, and the 8080 etc were a step back down.

Safety should be adhered to and reminding him/her even once too many times is the right thing to do.

BUT a lot of things are dangerous, and we can become proficient at it. Driving a car is helluva dangerous but we can learn it. You can learn about mains voltage, and you should learn about it properly first.

But to suggest that one not try to innovate like he does - then hackernews is not the right place for your nerves :)
Thank you, this is the solution I was looking for.
One reason is that the Zig toolchain has fewer "moving parts" than the Emscripten toolchain (e.g. Emscripten depends on Node.js, Python, the Google Closure compiler with an embedded Java runtime, and various WABT tools), and while all these tools are installed automatically by the Emscripten SDK installer, it's still a lot of individual parts that can break.

OTH the Clang compiler doesn't come with the necessary cross-compilation C library and headers.

From that pov, the Zig toolchain is indeed the best option to compile a WASM blob that's not WASI (in that case, there's also the WASI SDK, which is a similar self-contained toolchain as the Zig toolchain) - PS: Zig can also compile to WASI out of the box though.
its possible, but expensive.
I think this can be addressed by using speed cameras instead of chase cars to enforce speed limits. Tint and lights can be covered by periodic vehicle inspection. These are fairly common elsewhere, but the US chooses cops that give chase.
Yes, if this tradeff wasn't made then EVs wouldn't be subsidized as they are across the world. But in some places the local problems are larger so they let people pay for negative externalities. I can't see a problem with that. There is surely also a progressive element to this: people who drive large cars are assumed to be wealthier so able to carry more of the city/regions revenue from taxes and fees.
You're right, it would call attention to the dongle problem. :)
That's the backdoor in the rot13 visible to the naked eye.
That would probably be a nice device for extremely long range communications.
Aye, you put your finger on something there. Reminds me of how common it is for menial jobs to be outsourced to immigrants or seasonal labour. Fruit picking in the UK to Eastern Europeans, agricultural work in Israel to Thais, etc.

Someone has to empty the bins. I guess like anything emptying bins is a job you can enjoy more or less, depending on your inner attitude to doing it, and your ability to "make the best of it" (by having a laugh with mates on the job etc.) but surely it's hard to be creative in it.

There are millions of jobs like that that have to be done by someone – unless everyone, including those who enjoy that self-fulfilment in their work, somehow were to chip in and do their bit.
I don't think they are legally bound to investigate anything, unless law enforcement asks them to.

Aren't said locals literally tax payers? And they want their tax money to go to something actually useful for them.
The browser's WASM runtime is already a safe sandbox. There's really not much point in 'double sandboxing' both on the language and runtime level.
Hmm... should I choose a provider with a history of spying on everyone and destabilization, or Google? ...OK, I'll go with the CIA.
>I don't get why it matters so much to people. It's all just incentives aligning

Adding advertising into the mix almost always makes the incentives align more poorly with the customer's interest. For example, the refrigerator manufacturer now has an incentive to increase food spoilage to increase ad conversions.

>Having a subscription can actually be beneficial in terms of incentive to keep up supporting the product in my view

So you want to pay them to show you ads in the hopes that that means they don't stop supporting your refrigerator? What does that even mean? They're not going to extend your warranty.
> The reason that the resolution is so high on the AVP is because it uses Micro-OLED which is also known as OLED

well, its more that they managed to get them efficient enough not to melt/produce useable brightness.

But the actual biggest issue is optics. You can't just slap a transparent screen where your glasses are, and be able to see an image. You need to correct the image so its focused almost at "infinite".

Thats why wave guides are a thing, they (simplistically) project an image as if it was focused further away than is actually was. However, they aren't very efficient, which means you either need to dim the outside world, or overdrive your LEDs so they only last a few hours(and melt your face.) They have other issues like rainbow artifacts.
Likely interesting note: Mains voltage is not considered “high voltage” in industry (minimum 600 volts AC, but higher under many standards [1000VAC per IEC]).

Mains voltage is “low voltage” in an electrical industrial safety context.
I do feel there's a simple abstraction under there somewhere - k8s config is just a big tree, after all. And adding pkl's loops on top of that would probably reduce a lot of duplication.
That is when you realize "free market" means "our buddies at the top can charge whatever they want, and you may not compete". Same with healthcare, telecom, financial services...
I had a girlfriend in Denmark and travelled throughout the whole of covid. In Denmark the restrictions weren’t just less they were at different times. Which is the biggest deal because if you move about and the rules are all different they don’t make any sense and hence don’t impose a sense of ordered control. I’d have coffee on the high street in Denmark and then be berated on a train in London the day after by a crazed wild eyed old lady ( who understandably ) had spent the last 6 months or so quarantined in a basement and was cross I was drinking coffee and lowering a mask ( no masks were even required in Denmark that I remember)when I mentioned I had literally been in cafe without a mask the day before it wasn’t a look of annoyance but utter confusion. Understand this was during the height where everything was closed lockdowns extending the darkest moment before the dawn type thing.

The different timing of the rules is what honestly made me not experience the restrictions - just an odd confusion.

Lastly I remember I walked to the airport , told a stewardess in the airport I was going to try fly same day to Denmark and she looked at me like I was insane ( 3 day covid testing required).

I bought a ticket from a machine walked straight into a place with a passport check landed in Denmark - no test. ( when flying to Denmark the test could be done on landing at the airport I have no idea why but it was legal - they just didn’t bother to mostly)

The airport lady wouldn’t have believed it but even to her , working in global field - changing global differences hadn’t registered.

TLDR You CAN have a The Village situation IRL I experienced it!!

In reality the difficult part would actually be getting your service in front of people like OP at the right time. How do you imagine the guy in this post finds you and pays for your service? Have you ever looked for a similar service yourself when you faced similar issues?
Moving a mouse is also relatively easy compared to writing with the other hand.
That's basically what WASI is about (or now the specific derivation called WASIX). Essentially a POSIX runtime for WASM, but typically using musl instead of glibc.
Nice choice op, that's what got me into a spate of Chinese sci-fi. It's so different from Western sci-fi, in its focus on concepts rather than being character driven. I think that's why the book was a bit divisive when it came to the west, the lack of any distinct protagonists would have been off-putting for many people.
Which jobs are you considering no one would want to do?

I've worked labor in flooring, it's definitely not a job one wouldn't want to do without pay, but there was still an element of craftsmanship which one could find joy in
Bingo! Now that you jogged my memory, I can confirm this.

The next question is why you need a white outline around the black arrow.

Agree, people whose job intersects their passions are very lucky but they are in the minority. Most people look at their jobs for what they are: a source of income that allows you to buy food and have a roof over your head.

Nonetheless I believe emotional drive is needed for some high skilled jobs. It doesn’t necessarily need to be passion though. It could be desperation, greedy, peer pressure - whatever keeps you going

No, I really don’t, and most people probably don’t. My job has absolutely nothing to do with finance, luckily.

Where did you get your information? MICR lines, the line of numbers at the bottom of the check, use magnetic ink. The acronym stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. So for ages, they didn't use optics at all.

In the modern day, cheque OCR is monopolized by one company, Mitek. They may use tesseract somewhere in their stack but I've never read that anywhere.

Then ask :-) From recruiting hundreds of people and some managers, and helping CTOs as a coach, I think people ask not enough questions. And not questions that they have read somewhere, but deep questions that show their understanding of the situation and challenges and their interest in the company.

Well, to be fair I don't have a huge amount of information about the FT as I'm not a subscriber. I do remember that they did publish at least some Keynesian economists during the 2008 financial crisis, although I think they were still part of the prevailing (and IMO mistaken) bias towards austerity.

But I think no publication is completely neutral. There are areas where they will accept opinions as viable alternatives, and areas where they consider opinions outside the pale and not deserving of consideration. A completely biased publication always picks one side everywhere, but 'neutral' publications usually are biased towards which opinions they will give serious consideration.

They other dimension is that articles written in a neutral 'style' aren't necessarily any less biased than ones written in polemic style.
IMHO they were right at the time of release, it took a while to develop the OS, ecosystem, etc

One particular application I'm interested in is tracking location data and athlete performance during rowing regattas. The course is over 2km long and over 150m wide, which makes it unsuitable for regular wifi without deploying a dozen specialized APs, and directional antennas are tricky due to all the movement involved.

Being able to put a single omnidirectional antenna at the halfway point and having it Just Work would be a absolutely amazing.

There’s 12 cameras and 3 screens to drive, how many lanes would you need for that through the cable? How chunky would the cable be after adding necessary shielding?
so many people argue the opposite, to me I often am what I do, which is an issue since most people want to get away from the tasks as soon as possible

there's also the problem of ending exploited since you will accept doing more for less
Absolutely, but that's not an excuse for their shoddy labeling.
Chromium (and Firefox) do GPU accelerated raster as well as composition. That page you linked is about a very specific case of wanting to get the pixels back to reuse in a different context. In that situation doing the work on the GPU and then copying back to the CPU may be slower than keeping it on the CPU the whole time.
Yes, that's the issue.
sorry I should have added a caveat of 1pb _at decent performance_

That seagate array will be fine for streaming (so long as you spread the data properly) as soon as you start mixing read/write loads on that, it'll start to chug. You can expect 70-150iops out of each drive, and thats a 60 drive array (from guess, you can get 72 drives in a 4u, but they are less maintainable, well used to be, thing might have improved recently)

When I was using luster with ultra scisi (yes, that long ago) we had good 10-20 racks to get to 100tb, that could sustain 1gigabyte a second.
This is just incorrect. The speed of light through atmosphere is almost identical to speed of light in a vacuum. There's no latency penalty for traveling through the atmosphere. The one-way time delay to a Starlink satellite is about 2 milliseconds.
It has survived against being found; that term seems to fit without much torturing of interpretation.
This might seem odd for the youngsters having grown up with their own smartphone and laptop, but I very quickly found it annoying having to rearrange everybody's setup when using their computer. Friends, family, school, you name it...
The first generation computers, using vacuum tubes, were indeed usually bit-serial. Some had parallel ALUs, or sometimes just parallel multipliers units, but an entirely parallel computer designed with vacuum tubes would have been very power hungry and unreliable.

Some notorious exceptions are the ENIAC and Whirlwind 1 which indeed were fully parallel.

As for 36-bit machines, they were also popular because of LISP, as a cons cell was 2x18 bits. I think this influenced the design of the PDP-6 and 10.

And yeah, I also wished DEC didn't kill the PDP-10 for the VAX, but that's another story.
Its truly a tragedy that your eyes must be plagued by such a thing, a tragedy of the commons at that, its such an issue that I have never heard anyone complain about it before you.

Of course, this isnt a problem in countries that dont have such asinine rules around headlights, where an actual modern headlight can identify cars/pedestrians and selectively not cast light directly at them.

You are probably right though, forget about how these noble regulations have kept us in the automotive stone age, we have a big stick so lets use it! Its not like the government is going to get out there and fix the roads anyways, all they seem interested in is stealing money.
I recently read the book "Gaming Behind the Iron Curtain." It's about the former Soviet satellite states trying to play video games inside the Czech Republicb in the late 80s. They had to smuggle in computers hidden inside suitcases from England. This feels almost like the same thing.

I'm stuck in thinking that someone smart could break apart these CPAP machines and bring in necessary parts, then find other parts from China and hand carry those in. Then reassemble them inside Vietnam. A price differential of $1500 seems like an interesting arbitrage opportunity, maybe better than drug dealing. And there aren't chip sniffing dogs in the airport.

What a nightmare.
Nice little straw man.
