Agreed, and that's why the "naive" is in my comment :) An even faster is to drop the packerisation and run the transmitter continuously with an appropriate code (self-clocking); the digital radio delay then drops to microseconds. That might in turn make the 48KHz 16-bit ADC seem the limit (21us per sample), one can always use a faster ADC (after appropriate front-end filtering). Out in the real world though error correction is needed, so generally need to use a codec with forward error correction.

I guess it would be a great hacker project to build a PCIe card with an FPGA (or several) that can e.g. be used to accelerate emulators.

Or would a GPU be more fit for this purpose, and a more cost-effective and practical solution?

You sound emotional. Wired headphones are sometimes cheaper and may sound better. They are not immune to loss, asymmetry, or horrors such as pulling your phone when it’s snagged and causing your phone to drop.
Someone is saying "the way this works is wrong, it should work differently" and you're responding "that's not how this works" to that. How does that help?
Plenty of EEs understand and apply DSP techniques today without making weapons.
It's always amusing to hear 'but now when I was deprived of 3.5 I'm happy with a wireless headphones!'.

I used a wireless headphones when some of HN visitors didn't even exists, I have a plenty of experience with them. No, I'm not happy with wireless headphones, partially because my old-style wired headphones works always. Not just 'always, though sometimes I need to re-pair them, or find the charging case for a super-mega-fast-charge for 10 minutes, or find the left one despite I swear I placed them both in the case' but always.
Yeah but they seem to be suggesting no one has done fpga emulation before.

(I'm biased, I love my mister!)
> Anyone on the fence who wants a kid - go for i

I agree. Having kids in incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.
It works because normally you do most of the thinking in your head, so the few occasions you are doing deep thinking using paper and pen, you have the discipline and care to only write what is important and keep the rest in your head. If you do everything on paper, it will start being not much different than doing everything directly on computer because you will be writing everything and you will lose that abstraction and care.
Satellites provide a lot of utility to many people now, space exploration maybe might provide utility later. (But probably not) I’d expect the number of objects in orbit to increase simply because of that.
Sure, if one wanted to rewrite their engine.

Shortly before Stadia was ramped down, there was a talk about Stadia team starting the Stadia Porting Toolkit, as they weren't getting enough studios interested in porting their XBox/Windows engines into Stadia, versus what they would get out of GeForce Now and Cloud Game Pass.
The point that the racing bike is more likely to have a failure during use? The difference seems to be suggesting people not have a toy they want vs. only explaining that there is a serious drawback.

Occasionally something happens that makes the attitude really stand out. I once saw an actual electrician tell someone their 3D printed light switch cover was an accelerant. He suggested they re-do one to attach on top of a standard flame-retardant cover. There were like half a dozen "nuh-uh" comments from people who felt attacked by that.

Does Mastodon have an features to transition domain names? It seems it's be useful to have a configurable backup that the system pushes out that can also be used if the primary is unavailable. Ideally with a way to inform federated systems of the switch
A similar question in math circles is which direction you eat your corn, across like a typewriter is thought to indicate algebraists, while vertically by rotating and eating in a spiral indicating analysts (analysisists?)

Not if someone managed to make a copy of the movie.

And I don't think you should be able to use copyright protection unless you register a copy with a central authority. Just like how patents work.
The bar for writing in games is surprisingly low.

I'll not mention any in particular, but IME even games noted for their writing have generic stories.

Maybe there's something in the medium that constrains stories? A story explored through the eyes of a protagonist with limited actions (repeated an abnormally large number of times), who you know will eventually succeed.
This is fascinating. I feel like you're serious but I don't understand. does anyone have a source about this gay-but-not culture in Kabul?
Another motivation was to inhibit nuclear proliferation. Without a global policeman, everyone has a motivation to acquire nuclear weapons.
> it should be obvious what the current state is

Yeah, I don't need to know which direction of my light switch means "on" (and in fact I don't know), because I can see whether the lights are on.
Yes I’m envisioning this thing covered in barnacles. Surely they’ve thought of that?
I don't think cars are the biggest issue here though, most people I know seem to be worried about the lack of third spaces that are clean and wouldn't expose their children to crime or drug use for example.
I actually find that for most feeds, I dislike chronological sorting. It is a good default, but I prefer to have rules that promote certain authors and keywords. For example, on my Arxiv feeds, I promote certain keywords, and "autoread" everything else. On news feeds, I promote articles about my specific area of the city.

I use Gnus to create my own recommendation engine to do this.
That would be a great use for an HDR screen - make the "indicator light" extra bright compared to the rest of the screen, to make it really obvious that the light is now "on". Of course this would only work as long as the user doesn't keep their screen too bright to begin with...
I'm not sure I can attract some big companies.

Yes, your most likely target customer in my opinion would be a service provider for lots of small to mid-size companies (aka me). Individuals will just use SMS. Larger companies will implement this on their own.

My best advice is to make your service as logistically simple as possible. In other words:

- Forget device ID. Almost every mobile communication device already has an ID, it's called a phone number --- which your customers will most likely already have stored for other reasons. Any mobile device that an individual regularly carries is likely to have one.

- Forget device type. Most people don't care what "type" of device it is. Do you store this info in your contacts list? I don't and most companies don't either. If you need this, collect it from your mobile app and store it. Most customers won't be burdened with doing your logistics for you.

- Grouping is essential for convenience but also efficency for yourself and for customers. Lots (if not most) business notifications need to go to more than 1 individual. Doing this one person at a time is unnecessarily tedious and time consuming. An acceptable alternative would be to simply allow the "send message" API call to accept multiple recipients.

- Do allow customers to identify themselves with a user friendly name that individuals can select or input to receive notifications from.

- In my opinion, your market opportunity here is to build a send only version of SMS that is just as easy to use while costing less. But you have more work to do.
Home ownership and prices have no effect on people having kids. Income does. You'll find loads of kids in low income areas but far fewer in middle income areas.

Everyone online complains about wealth being the reason they won't have kids, but it's not the case. Once people make one step up in their career, they want to make another and kids become an impediment. No matter the country, you'll find higher numbers of kids when people (and especially women) are deprived of education and work opportunities. Then you also have eccentric billionaires that have a dozen kids, but they're statistically irrelevant.

If you want families to have kids, cut wages, don't let women work, cram them into undesirable homes, and most importantly, ignore people who say they'd have kids if only they made a little more money. They won't stop once they get a taste of better living. They'll be very stressed out people, but they'll have kids.
Subjective assessments can be wrong, no? And when I referred to a test, I meant a test that might be conducted on yourself. You can get one although it's not free.
My next phone will be an imported EU phone. I won't even care if it doesn't connect to cell towers (it will though).
I’m not a YouTube influencer and I don’t want a headphone jack. I haven’t used wired headphones in five years.
Other features you mentioned maybe but no one cares about the headphone jack anymore. I don't remember most people using it a lot even before it started to disappear.
The article is about those false myths, like the one you are peddling here, as the reason why the most effective drug against bipolar disorder isn't being used to the extent it should. Bipolar is a life threatening illness, and lithium has both better outcomes and less side effects than any other mood stabilizer.

Do you even know how toxic antipsychotics are? The spectre of side effects are much worse than tremors. Also tardive dyskinesia is also a side effect of Latuda. Less common than strokes or seizure, but you rather want to be shaking than dead right?
> I can understand the sentiment. It's not necessarily something against independent developers, it's anger about a problem that shouldn't happen in the first place to a device this expensive.

This. Apple cultivates this myth that they only release polished devices/software. When they fail to do even the littlest things like work with a design decision they made, people, rightfully, get frustrated.
Oh wow, I had no idea I could search by engine, thanks for that!
In my professional experience (since before the pandemic), I've been encouraged not to mix work with my personal life. Regardless, even when I ignored this advice and did share personal details and be myself, the interactions have always felt disingenuous. For me at least, being an actual friend and keeping up a professional appearance are mutually exclusive.

I suppose I've personally been very fortunate to remain friends with a lot of people from my childhood, and meet others through them. Even the people I have met through friends only recently, feel more genuine than older personal connections made through work. (None of my friends spend personal time with people they've met through work, either!)

Interactions with work people will always have that veneer of trying to look and sound one's best in the professional sense, in protection of one's career. In friendships you shouldn't be afraid to show your flaws, imperfections, personal beliefs, personal history, the squishy parts.
Man, those are wide age bands. Big difference from more 19 year olds living at home versus 34 year olds.

And flip that statistic, the percentage not living at home went from 80% to 68%.

Significant? Sure. Massive? Doesn’t seem like it.

And looking at home ownership rates for those under 35 years old, historically - its not that much lower, maybe a 10% relative drop.

So sure, fewer young people owning homes, but it’s <10% relative change. That doesn’t scream crisis to me. The vast majority of young people own homes similar to the past.
Sony has somehow made it work (except the replaceable battery). I think the only thing they've got rid of recently is the notification LED.

It doesn't help when a very large number of phone users only care about one thing: it being an Apple phone. They will lap up anything Apple gives them every single time. It doesn't matter what the features are.
When I open the hidden bar, they still expand "behind" the notch. What am I doing wrong?

> We have better things to do than hump like rabbits?

Correction: we still hump like rabbits, at much higher rates than before (welcome hookup culture) and broadcast it to the world for millions to watch.

We are simply not having children.
The harder the vibrating plane, the lower the actual distortion.

Putting a light finger on a nylon string (or a classic speaker membrane) makes a huge difference, a thick steel contrabass string doesn't really change its frequency until you quite forcefully push it into the fingerboard.

I expect you'd have to push hard into the vibrating gorilla glass of a smartphone screen to influence the sound audibly.
The restriction is on using their trademarked term to advertise another commercial product. Take snacks, for example. Frito-Lay can put an endcap at the grocery store to promote chips for the game and it can have a huge "GAME DAY" banner overhead, or even "THE BIG GAME." But if they were to write Super Bowl to try and associate the NFL's brand with their brand for the purpose of selling stuff, they'd find themselves quickly in court.

The article is dumb because it misses this very important point. Yes, it's ok for you and me to write about the Super Bowl in many contexts, but it's not ok for us to appropriate their branding for our own commercial gain -- and most people who own IP would be probably be ok with that.
A combination of RAG and FineTuning will be much more useful IMHO.

Think of LLMs as generic models that can answer anything but with lower accuracy.

You fine-tune them to learn specifics of a particular domain. This way LLMs can provide more factual answers to domain specific questions.

Finally, you can add RAG on top of fine tuned models to get answers in context of your organisation or specific documents.

How all this will pan out remains to be seen, but surely there are interesting applications to come out of these technologies.
This comment is spot on IMHO -- yes, of course it is possible. But it isnt desirable for many of us who went thru it.

I similarly grew up at the poverty line as my parents got crushed by double-digit inflation. Based on personal experience, I didnt want the same for my kids -- so we have 2 though we'd love to have 4.
The tide has turned in bosses' battle against working from home
We should probably just do nuclear.
I think that’s especially relevant given the context of that review. Chris Dixon is regurgitating a bunch of blockchain sales points because he has major investments in the space–a fact he’s not quick to share with readers–and needs to talk them up before he can exit. It’s worth asking whether he gives RSS the opposite treatment because he never figured out a way to get VC-scale returns out of a technology which isn’t amenable to gatekeeping.
> The very first purchase they make after buying a new phone already defeats the purported benefits of those design choices.

While protective cases make the phones marginally thicker they don't make them less water proof. Which is in my opinion the purpose of making phones sealed and as port-free as possible.

And even with the protective case my current phone is much thinner than any phone I had with a user replaceable battery.
OSMF chairperson here. I share your frustration. This is us doing something about it!
Look you’re arguing that they should throw good money after bad. And both of us are just speculating on what the actual numbers are. We all agree that at some point before this, if they cancel the project and write it off, no one cares. So all this boils down to is whether or not you believe their accountants suddenly become wrong or liars about their expected expenses and returns the moment the “final” edit is committed to film.
They seem to be doing relatively fine. They spend less on stuff that we do and get more for it. Also, the world is bigger than the US and EU.
The core divide in this space is SQL vs. $OTHER_LANGUAGE. If you're fluent in SQL you'll be great at dbt. If you're only fluent in not-SQL you won't.

A lot of these discussions are basically "can we please just use the language/tooling we know", and sometimes the answer's yes! A lot of people breathe a big sigh of relief when they discover you can use like, Spark through Python and what-not. Regardless of whether or not it's a good idea or good use of resources, this space is advancing because the market demands it. But like, I don't think you're ever gonna use dbt with not-SQL; it's all in on SQL. Feels like maybe it was the wrong fit for your team.

I should say I'm not sure if your coworker was an SQL person so dunno if this directly applies. Just saying what my experience has been.
Unless there is an issue with either the light source or the power source. Muted/unmuted is also a pair where unmuted often does not equal "we can hear you"
I am actually. I took my kids out of school.

I am not in favour of never letting them out of my sight because it is important they develop autonomy and be able to look after themselves. Seeing them growing and learning is one of the joys of being a parent.

The point is being involved, which is good for children and rewarding for parents.

One problem with long term projects is advancement on technology that would had made a faster, sturdier, cleaner or whatever the original project if it started from zero using it.

We send a mission to Alpha centauri that would take, lets say, 100 years to get there with the current propulsion technologies, and in 30 years we discover a new one that would take 20 years to get there. Or the same for big buildings (I don't know, arcologies) where new materials and techniques would turn obsolete how it started if it was long enough in the past.

And not only new ways to improve, but different priorities or things that are out of our control that happen during its development. What if the land where the The Line in Saudi Arabla is being built gets permanently flooded because sea level rise or the entire region becomes unlivabable because frequent high enough temperatures in the region? Even social trends may turn something built for the future obsolete, there are plenty of ghost megacities in China.

Both acceleration in technologies, and acceleration in changes outside what is the construction by itself (climate, society, etc) can turn into (potentially hamrful) waste decades of effort.
I can only speak from personal experience, but I have found it to be immensely valuable in:

* Appreciating what I have today

* Not fearing the future in regards to global warming, war, and other instability

* Accepting that my life could turn completely upside down in an instant, e.g. due to economic instability, war, etc.
This title is pretty terrible clickbait. Based on the content of the article, they aren’t restricting political speech, they are simply promoting it less or not at all.

As another commenter noted, that’s probably what users want.

Please consider this site’s use of clickbait titles when deciding whether it’s worth your time.
No, no, give me a phone that is light! What I want is paper-level weights, say 300 GSM (grams/sq-meter) which is the weight density of a business-card.

Let's fight repetitive stress first, the one related to the holding of smartphones for hours. Then we can tackle trigger-thumb related issues later (I hope) once, ie, it tracks eye movements reliably and efficiently. Our generation is bound for a lot of health issues related to hand-held devices.
I think this is also why we feel so betrayed by tech layoffs.

Everyone gets laid off, we aren't special here, but what's a little unusual is that tech employees are highly migratory.

You get out of college, and you move to one of a handful of tech centers, in the US and around the world. And then -- fostered by the company -- you build your new social circle out of everyone you've met at work who is in the same situation of having just moved a thousand miles and started a new chapter of their life. You go out for dinner and drinks after work, you start boardgame nights, you play in a work-based soccer league. Your entire social life revolves around your friends from work.

And then, the company decides to cut headcount.

Tech employees have it a lot easier than, say, factory workers in most ways, when we're laid off. We've probably got more savings, our job market tends to be hotter, and we're not looking for work in one of the two places in town, one of which has already laid us off.

But it really takes a knife to your social circle, which stings, even if you're not the person laid off. I'm not sure it affects people who are working a job in their home town, with all their old friends and family and social activities linked to geography instead of employment, in the same way.
I purchased the Analogue Pocket and it’s a great little device. Got an archive of all GB and GBC games and can play them off an SD card using some of the FPGA cores available. while expensive, it’s great to have that tactile feel just like an original gameboy with modern quality of life features

I would love having a hardware keyboard again personally, especially when I need fire up a SSH session to fix something. The inaccuracies of touch keyboards are a real pain sometimes.
Still sort of insane that you need extra apps to fix an issue that Microsoft figured out decades ago. The GP says it was in Windows Vista, but I'm pretty sure even Windows 98 had it. I know XP did.

How has Apple not addressed this?
I agree. I love my iPhone and my iPad. But that touch bar era on the Mac was rough.
Yeah seconding sqlglot, has saved me _tons_ of time. I think yeah, they're smart and onto something here.
If future laptops will have a screen replace keyboard and trackpad, can it mimic the sensation of fingers moving across physical keys and the notches on F and J keys?
That is a post-hoc fallacy, implying LG sold poorly because it stuck with these design choices. Even if you didn't mean that, the way you built your paragraph, describing the design choices and then saying LG sold poorly and left the market draws exactly this kind of causation.

It seems to related or possibly even identical to: what things should the government regulate vs what things should be left unregulated (or left to be regulated by a more local government).

The founders of the US were very interested in deciding what are the responsibilities of the federal government vs what will be left up to the states to decide. They wrote entire essay series on the topic.
