Was a gradual shift after 9/11. US started requiring passports (on paper, but if you're a US citizen entering without one, I don't think they can do much more than give you a hard time). Lots more quizzing upon entry into US.

Good ole days (pre-2000) meant giving a verbal declaration of citizenship and being sure to have a decades old crumbly birth certificate if they asked.

Canada technically doesn't require passports at the land border, but they make it more of a hassle if you don't have one.

On the plus side, the Canadian side cares a lot less about whether returning Canadians owed taxes & duties. The booths used to be staffed by a division of the CRA (Canadian IRS) and unarmed.

Maybe that is the point of the article, however that is not the finding of the experiment the article is based on.

If the experiment was, "When should a park in your neighborhood apply the rule 'no vehicles in the park'?" I believe the outcome would have been very different with near universal agreement on the most important questions.

Maybe someone should try such an experiment.

I guess the question is a bit difficult to answer.

It’s not my preference compared to my main desk setup currently because I already have my desk setup how I want with multiple high end monitors. I don’t really need more real estate because I like to reduce head motion.

So in that sense, at my desk, I have no benefit to using it for my regular work.

But the more interesting question could be: would I have bought the monitors if I had the Vision Pro first? Maybe not.

The single display mirroring is fine for my work. Most of the rest of my real estate goes to apps that have native versions , and universal control/clipboard works well enough for me.
Oracle VirtualBox to emulate Windows 95 (which you can get at https://archive.org/details/win-95-osr-2). It already comes with Internet Explorer. Good luck with setting up tcp/ip networking.

I'd use Notepad to write code. The webpages should obviously be designed as complex nested tables, with valid HTML 4 tags from the era (https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/index/elements.html). Throw in non-standard MS tags like <marquee>.

To get that "rounded corners" look on your borders without CSS, create the rounded corner gifs using pirated Photoshop 4 from this warez disk (https://archive.org/details/twilight-cd08).

For hosting, I recommend getting a "Shell Account" (here is a list https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/160534/free-linux-shell-ac...). You might want to make sure it supports FTP without SSH. Might need to manually transfer files from Windows using Telnet (http://webfaq.halcyon.com/ftp/ftp-win95/index.htm)

Godspeed.

At some point, cops have to recognize their stupidity and complicity in this.
But the other implementations were against other PMEM hash tables unless I misread? Like no comparison against common c++ or rust implementations.
The bad guy is the caller & the police at that point.
The group of people that swatted him should have gotten life in prison. They essentially killed him.

“if a flag of truth were raised we could watch every liar rise to wave it”

I heard this lyric at a formative time, and I’ve seen it be proven true many times. Including tech interviews. People continually seek out those signals that imply knowledge and experience and even shared culture, but those signals inevitably become too small (smaller = quicker and easier to weed people out) and then they become the very things that people practice in order to look like they have the knowledge, experience, or shared culture they need in order to get through the doors and secure the opportunities.

Then those signals get burned and the cycle starts again (in fact, in my experience the cycles concurrently overlap).

I agree with you BUT. If one time, somewhere in America, someone truly is a violent threat you'll see all over Twitter & Facebook: "Government agency ignores dozens of pleas for help! Numerous reports that child killer would kill children!"

It's obviously super dumb, but it is sort of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Ideally, we would solve this in a sane way but at least it seems like there is some tempering of violence in most of these stories which is sadly refreshing.
> but it has long been set up as a big document protocol.

[Meaning stream parsing.] Yes, but typically one does not need that for small messages. I see that streaming decoders for Protocol Buffers is a thing now, but historically one does not bother with streaming for small messages, instead one streams lots of small messages.

> I don't know of many JSON parsers that can do the same.

libjq has one. With jsonlines or similar, if each text is small, there's no need for streamed decoding. Typically a DB query will produce a sequence of lots of small JSON texts, not one very large one.

If you're updating a DOM from XML then stream decoding makes sense, but in many cases streaming isn't ergonomic, just necessary when dealing with large documents (e.g., if there's not enough memory to hold them in memory without thrashing).
I love how that's what comes to your mind when you think of "the password from wargames".
Given that natural population growth has basically flatlined, I’m not sure what to take from that challenge.

https://www.brookings.edu/articles/u-s-population-growth-has...

If we look at the growth from 2000-2020, it basically went from 1% to .12%, so I guess we could use a step method to integrate (or just take population delta from 2024 to 1999 and subtract immigrants?). I don’t think we’ve grown that much, and growth is incredibly uneven.

> There is broad consensus among economists that it is stringent regulatory controls constraining supply that lead to higher housing prices - not building more housing.

People say things like this without backing it up. We get:

“Big Real Estate Says Regulations Caused Housing Crisis, But They Wrote the Rules”

But if you try to key in on specifically economists, they don’t say that. The fact that we have a global housing crisis, not just in America, seems to hint that something else is going on. Of course, we can build baby build Chinese style and wind up with 1.5 houses for every household, but that is probably a worse problem.

This exactly, although it's exceedingly rare to do it on demand. Typically you do it when the video is first uploaded.

Ask HN: Good Books on Time Series Analysis?
I don’t know about that. Clever still works for me I think, it’s just a matter of password length. One trick I still use today is to take the first letter of every word in a sequence I knew, and still substitute numbers and capitals. There are a lot of poems, and soliloquies in Shakespeare’s works, and opening lines of a book, etc. etc. Basically anything where you only need to remember something you already know, and where the “hint” can be something like “J12” for the first two lines of Jabberwocky.

A decade or so ago, because I had to learn it for a school recital and know the poem backwards, I used Jabberwocky: Tbatstdgag1tw! - according to security.org’s password-strength-checker [1] that will take a computer 200,000,000 years to crack, presumably on average. I use a longer one today, and I skip words too, and some words I use 2 letters from - a similar string of characters to my current password is estimated at a trillion years.

At one point, I was using the first 2 lines of “Sea Fever” by Masefield, but that got too long to type - ImgdttsattlsatsaaIaiatsatstshb … If you’re interested, that’s 2 septillion years. I don’t need to be that secure :)

The data cap thing is generally only with comcast and other tacky low-quality hall-of-mirrors bargain-bin types of cable ISPs that don't sell proper Internet connections (maybe Cocks Cable, too?).

For example, AT&T fiber has no bandwidth caps and offers symmetric 1-10 gigabit service in an ever expanding number of areas throughout the US. I pay $55/mo for 1gbps service, and have done more than 100TB/mo for many months and it's fine.
Most countries have police tactical units: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_police_tactical_unit...

France even has a national police force, the Gendarmerie, that is literally a branch of the military. The Gendarmerie’s most famous tactical unit is the GIGN, who have responded to high profile incidents including the 2015 terrorist attacks in and around Paris.
The kid, yeah, that’s a result of the twitch.tv hotheads. He should be prosecuted. Police, they are just doing their jobs (at the minimum) and should probably institute a protocol if they are tasked to the same location more than 5 times in a calendar year.
For my back-burner startup, the reason it would work (in theory) was due to a particular thing we were doing that none of the other players in the market would do, even if they thought of it.

(Unfortunately, just as I got time to move it to front burner, it was probably killed by LLM consumer popularity.)
The problem Perl and the like have to contend with is that they have to compete with Python. If a dependency needs to be installed to do something you have to convince me that whatever language and script is worthwhile to maintain over Python which is the next de jure thing people reach for after bash. The nice thing about awk is that it’s baked in. So it has an advantage. You can convince me awk is better because I don’t have to deal with dependency issues, but it’s a harder sell for anything I have to install before I can use

And it’s not even that Python is a great language. Or has a great package manager or install situation. It doesn’t have any of those things. It does, however, have the likelihood of the next monkey after me understanding it. Which is unfortunately more than can be said about Perl

I've had the same desire to extend USB HID devices, but I want to take it a step further. Once a USB device <- Wi-Fi ->USB host technology is available, then a wireless USB switch should be possible. The research in this article is critical to understanding the impact of latency on the experience.

Several months ago, I built a project using USB host mode on a Raspberry Pi Pico, which uses a USB numpad to pass messages to an MQTT server. This uses the Rp2040's USB host mode
https://gitlab.com/baiyibai/pico-w-usb-host-mqtt-numpad

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_TinyUSB_Arduino

My implementation plugs in much higher into the stack and doesn't read the full USB bit mask output, which indicates how many keys are pressed/released.

From my limited understand ing, it should be possible to pass these USB messages from HID client to HID host and vice-versa. Then it's only a matter of sending this information over a TCP/UDP interface. However, from my research, it seems the TinyUSB library doesn't provide the full bitmask resolution necessary for all devices. The YouTuber Wendell from LevelOneTechs has also talked about the troubles of getting some devices working with his KVM products, so it may not be as simple as I'm suggesting here.

Overall though, a $15/endpoint is very attractive.
Density increases actually make cities more popular, so the supply constraints remain or even worsen. They also generate wealth, meaning people earn more, and can bid up housing prices. I think people just like dense cities with good transit, so we should definitely do it, but let’s not pretend that SF would be affordable if only it had HK’s density (it would be as affordable as HK, which means not very).
Video transcoding: Taking the raw uploaded video and re-encoding it so it is appropriate for being sent to video players over the web.

Typically this takes the form of creating "renditions" of the source video at lower resolutions, but you'll have to decode and re-encode the video to do that, hence transcoding.

Pretty much all video you watch online is delivered using an adaptive bitrate technology like HLS or DASH. That's what allows the video to automatically reduce its resolution if your network can't handle streaming the video without buffering.
That's interesting, some kind of meta branches.
Don't you need a built step to transpile Typescript anyway?
Actual article: [1]

"We estimate that loud alien civilizations now control 40%–50% of universe volume, each will later control ∼ 10^5 to 3 × 10^7 galaxies, and we could meet them in ∼200 Myr–2 Gyr." Those numbers seem inconsistent.

"Ours is a model of grabby aliens, who by definition (a)
expand the volumes they control at a common speed, (b)
clearly change the look of their volumes (relative to
uncontrolled volumes), (c) are born according to a power law
in time except not within other GC volumes, and (d) do not die
unless displaced by other GCs."

That's an interesting set of assumptions. Kind of a 1960s science fiction model.

If we now have a reasonable understanding of physics, you get a different model.

Yeah, what a really disgusting take.
Example: you work on the mobile team, the backend team is large and focuses on serving the web app, they send huge JSON payloads that the mobile app only partially need, and asking the backend team to now also serve msgpack is out of the question as things together with the backend and web teams were proven to be a PITA.

In this scenario, writing a new, or bundling someone else's json library can significantly improve things.

I've used Nova for maybe a decade at this point. For me it's the best, hands down. I gladly paid for the premium version.

I have a super minimal and frictionless gesture-based interface going. No app clutter clogging up the screen at all.
Everything I need to do is executed by a one or two finger gesture, no scrolling to find apps and nothing obscuring a nice wallpaper that automatically rotates daily (using Tasker).
Email? Slide one finger up.
Messages? One finger down.
Calendar? Two fingers up.
Phone dialer? Two fingers down.
Maps? Double tap anywhere. Etc.

IMO it was really easy to set up and probably actually keeps me off my phone more than I would be otherwise. If it didn't exist it would be the launcher I'd build for myself.

If you are like me and want a super tranquil "phone-flow" I would highly recommend getting Nova and using the gestures feature.
Yeah that's a common statistical fallacy -- if your goal is to predict the likelihood of AGI becoming a reality in a few centuries, what you really want is "of all the things medieval farmers thought would happen, how many ended up actually happening", not "of all the things that happened, how many did medieval farmers think of"
While I don't have the exact numbers, if you used the correct formula, you'll find that P(AGI happening in a few centuries) to be in the range of "pretty friggin low"

I like podcasts a lot, but I think books can often get more in depth.

A lot of times I'll hear an hour podcast with the author of a book summarizing some parts of it, but when I read the book itself it includes a lot more detail, hard data, etc.

Some podcasts are well researched but many others feel very conversational and not as well fact checked.
I like option 4. Perhaps some of the things we think are black holes are just grabby aliens.

Avoiding strong personalities purely for the sake easing hostility sounds a lot like cowardice. A better course of action is conflict resolution.
Chicago is great, and $400K can be a good deal compared to the coasts, but watch out for those assessments.
In Uvalde there was a known threat and the police did nothing. I think there's just bad police.

It's a tough job, but there are also a lot of under-trained, under-educated people that just want to bust down doors and wouldn't actually risk their lives for anyone. In fact, I'm sure some let themselves be used by swatters, as it gives them a chance to use their heavy equipment in low risk scenarios.

I don't entirely agree, especially with the popularity of LLMs nowadays. While graphics are still a big portion of the pitch, compute oriented features are increasingly expected as part of the offering, especially at the higher end of the lineup. If you've bought a 3090/4090, you likely had in mind more computationally oriented tasks compared to if you've bought a 1660 or AMD card.
Yes :)

Oh you want a reference. Sadly, I don't remember the text book we used three or so decades back. It was good. The title was simply: "Time Series Analysis".

This is kind of a counterexample for Betteridge's law.
The problem is that the people that do this face no real punishment. At some point, the only way to get it to stop is to take the law into your own hands (if the police are either unable or unwilling to stop it).

How does it help with that? Doesn't it consume much of the power? Cryptocurrency has been a financial disaster for most involved, and I don't see many jobs for computers in datacenters.

Also, what IMF and World Bank programs are you talking about? Ethiopia's challenges have been political at the very least, with wars, oppression, etc. That's not the territory of those institutions.
The only possibility is to cryptographically sign all videos using a White House private key.

You're correct that nothing can move instantaneously, at a maximum it's bounded by the speed of sound in the material. But can you detect a 0.2ms delay? Probably no human can. What about a 2ms delay? Potentially some people can. What about a 20ms delay? Probably, although it's still very small.

Perhaps saying that the wheels move "exactly" as the driver intends in a rack and pinion system is too absolute, but if you can't see or feel this delay then I'd argue that to the human driving it's irrelevant. You can see the lag in the video, which admittedly is slowed down, but if we assume the original frame rate was 60fps then there's a minimum of a 16.7ms lag and I'd estimate it's at least 3-4 frames so more like 50.0-66.7ms, which is absolutely noticeable. Why should we accept performance which is clearly worse than a mechanical system? This is a delay that exists on top of all the other factors you've mentioned, not in lieu of them. It casts doubts on the functional safety of the system.

This. Pre-9/11 my family used to pop over to Windsor for dinner, and that was absolutely unremarkable. Every 19-year-old would hit the bars over there, because that was the drinking age. And the outlet mall parking lots on the Michigan side were constantly packed with Ontario license plates.

I'm jealous of the Niagara crossing that has a pedestrian bridge called the Rainbow Bridge because you can see the rainbow in the falls' mist from the middle of the span. Areas on both sides are pedestrian-friendly and you can just walk across, for a $1 fee. It sucks that you can't get from Detroit to Windsor without either your own vehicle, or boarding a grubby bus.
Some kind of verification would be nice but no such verification is practical as far as I know. There are many technical and political reasons for this but the simplest would be that the most embarrassing candid videos would never be verified by the subject of embarrassment.

Modern bureaucracy has incentives to avoid any discretion. They will take your 500th 911 call, 5000th asylum claim, or 50th arrest and treat you exactly the same as Joe Citizen filing claim #1. It's ridiculous.
Well, they should start doing a better job at figuring out what calls are legitimate and won't find themselves in this situation often.

Besides all that, the Supreme Court has ruled that the police are not obligated to help you anyways.
