In the embedded space customers develop bespoke solutions to well, embed them in products where they (essentially) bake the firmware image and more-or-less freeze the entire software stack less incremental updates. The next version of your product uses the next fresh Jetson and Jetpack release. Repeat. Using the latest and greatest kernel is far from a top consideration in these applications...

I was actually advising an HN user against using Jetson just the other day because it's such an extreme outlier when it comes to Nvidia and software support. Frankly Jetson makes no sense unless you really need the power efficiency and form-factor.

Meanwhile, any seven year old >= Pascal card is fully supported in CUDA 12 and the most recent driver releases. That combined with my initial data points and others people have chimed in with on this thread is far from "utter crap".

Use the right tool for the job.
Regarding brakes... I don't know if it's good enough for this project but a 3-phase motor will produce a braking torque when shorting all three phases together. Some gate drivers even have an input or way to trigger this function by turning on all low-side FETs or all high-side. The amount of torque depends a lot on the specific motor design and the speed when applied. Not sure if this technique would be good enough for the project.
> the jury went further and found that Sable’s old and broadly-written patent claim was invalid and never should have been granted in the first place–meaning they can no longer assert the claim against anyone else

Perhaps people/institutions that grant overly broad patents should be held responsible in a scenario like this?
> NVIDIA is about ecosystem plays, they have no interest in sabotage or anti competition plays.

Are we talking about the same NVIDIA? The entire Nvidia GPU strategy for nvidia is - make a feature (or find existing one) that performs better on their cards - pay developers to use (and sometimes misuse) it extensively.
I'm skeptical it would be just me given there is some prominent text right below the image that says "not the radio tower".

> Okay, so maybe they wanted to have a photo, but there's no way to frame this that makes the journalist or the outlet look good. Intentionally or not, choosing a wrong photo is still screwing with readers' perception of reality.

Doing a search for how other news websites reported this story, only the CNN used the "correct" image. A few others used different images without even giving context it was a different tower. A few of the other ones are certainly more egregious, not labelled at all..

Choosing a "wrong" photo that is CLEARLY labelled, I don't agree with this opinion. I find that hypercritical. Seemingly we simply disagree.
It's a personal preference based on how we mentally model problems. I cannot stand long procedural code. The mental gymnastics required to know what it does is too much. More than 5-6 variables in scope and I have no idea if it does what you say it does. It would take me some time to figure that out. If it is under test we can at least say it's not wrong some times.

I much prefer breaking problems down to the level where I can reason in terms of sets, algebras, and that sort of thing. It's much easier for my brain to rely on properties and the ability to substitute terms in equations than it is to reconstruct a giant state machine and execute it in my head. Much more so when we add concurrency to the mix.

At the end of the day though I don't think there's, "one true way."

Ah, fair point. The most extreme ideology I even kind of identify with is left-libertarianism, for the record, and mostly I’d just like a better social safety net, better social services, better consumer protection (this, overall, helps the market! Markets are pretty awesome and we definitely should work to keep them healthy and helpful) and stronger unions. I reckon that’s about as good as a large state can get, in the current environment.

I get the communism association given the origin of the term “capitalism”, though it’s been pretty thoroughly adopted and embraced by, well, capitalists. But no, I’m not a fan of communism and didn’t mean to give that impression.

In a world where political labelling can be so very misleading (“people’s democratic republic”) I just find it a bit amusing, and maybe even refreshing, that we tend to self-label our system as capitalist (among other things, to be fair) and that’s pretty damn honest. Take the term fairly literally and it’s a good guide to what you see actually happening, and what you ought to try to do to attain greater privileges and protections. We announce exactly what our deal is.

[edit] more to the point, I wasn’t even trying to get into a what’s-better discussion, just pointing out that thing from the last paragraph, really.
There's some interesting developments in rotary engines and other approaches to redesigning internal combustion engines to make them much smaller, more powerful, and even more efficient.

I can't tell the future obviously, but I think there's a lot of life in the internal combustion engine alongside use cases where electric technology makes a lot of sense.
Disabling a feature doesn't protect you from firmware bugs or higher repair costs from the more complicated hardware you have but are not using.
Is it possible there’s some confusion here about the understanding (then and now) of “catastrophe”?

As I understand, it wasn’t meant to mean that the theory had a catastrophic flaw, but rather that the infinite energy implied at the asymptote itself represented an (obviously unobserved, thus curious) physical catastrophe.

I agree with your characterization that an unresolved catastrophe of the latter kind does not imply a crisis of science the way an unresolved “catastrophe” of the former kind might.

Yes obviously, because checkboxes need accompanying text, otherwise it’s just a mystery fidget. Text on a small screen is a problem for obvious reasons.

The you have the second problem: checkboxes were part of web forms, where you have a submit button. So a whole generation of users were taught the abstraction of “saving” your settings as an explicit gotcha step. The checkbox didn’t do anything on its own.

Very likely, Apple wanted to start over with an element that was independent and immediate, in their preference panes. But checkboxes would have worked too, in preferences – but does not solve the in-app problem:

The icon toggle buttons are not mobile designers faults – they existed way earlier, primarily known from text editors (think the bold/italics toggles). Who messed them up so badly, I don’t know..

Ask HN: Will GPT cause a TUI renaissance?
Looking at Chat-GPT and its clones, they do support some forms of markup, but they seem to make it all the more apparent that GUI advice is much harder to communicate or utilize than text.. Further many of the problems of using text, for example discoverability, are alleviated by such assistance. So is this going to swing the pendulum back, or is there another direction it will take?
To be fair the lights not staying on in California was a local problem and not a portend of things to come, but ironically caused by a Texas company that was committing insane levels of unrelated fraud and in this case was exploiting a loop hole in the energy grid to shut down their California plants in times of high demand to cause high purchase prices to import from their Texas plants.

It was allowed because it was politically convenient - they were tied into Bush’s inner circle and the energy problems were convenient in making Gray Davis unpopular and causing his recall to then install a Republican governor by the name of Arnold instead. Ironically Arnold created reforms within the political structure of California to solidify Democratic control of the state.

If you’re not familiar with that, look up how Enron fucked with the California power grid and the Bush administration prevented California from discovering it nor making changes to stabilize the grid (or something along those lines - I may have gotten some of the details wrong).

Myopically selfish comment. One can absolutely let nature rebound. This one-way fatalism is shield for continuing to make bad decisions.
> Koreans tend to like their own cars

You end up paying a 15-20% tax on a foreign car versus domestic in Korea, and domestic cars have a tax rebate in Korea.

This is why a foreign mid-model car like Tesla or Lexus or Mercedes is a status symbol there.
I can't speak to the example other than skimming wikipedia, but:

> Hanseatic Cities gradually developed common trade regulations.

> That year, the merchants of the Hansa in Cologne convinced King Henry II of England to exempt them from all tolls in London[26] and to grant protection to merchants and goods throughout England.[27]: 14–17

> etc.

> By the mid-16th century, these weak connections left the Hanseatic League vulnerable, and it gradually unraveled as members became consolidated into other realms or departed, ultimately disintegrating in 1669.

So it looks like the league was parasitic on the relevant states involved being able to implement regulations, so, basically exactly the point i'm making.

And secondarily, insofar as the legague itself lacked a mechanism to enforce transnational agreeement, it was weak and collpased.

So QED: insofar as participating states had viable regulating mechanisms the system work; insofar as challenges arose which requrired transnational mechanisms, it fell apart.
Where does all the money from the bloated tuition costs end up? Is it the university endowments? Why not tax that, and return money to the students? Why does the rest of society have to pay for it?
It's things like this that make me think the way to make a good UI is to look at what modern UIs do and do the exact opposite.

1. No spacing.

2. Information-heavy cluttered screens.

4. Colored icons. Colored interfaces. Not "tinted" a hue of black or white. Actual vibrant colors. And not just one color either! Two colors, at least.

5. 3d.

6. Main menus.

Taking the heat off Gates for a moment, we used to call it the Bob
Geldof problem. Even though he always denied that Live-Aid money ended
up buying weapons in Ethiopia at least Geldof himself had the humility
to admit later that the unforeseen political side effects of Live Aid
were depressing and thought provoking.

Philanthropy looked good in less complex times. Wealthy reformists
intervening in social problems worked in the 18th and 19th centuries,
in a single city. Today maybe it's just hubris for small groups or
individuals to fund pet projects with potentially huge side effects.

Bringing it back to Gates. A lot of people like the man, but I
sincerely believe he set back computing by at least 20 years. He
could use his enormous wealth to fund real social computing projects,
free open source etc.. to put right what he messed up on the path to
wealth. But I expect Bill Gates is too ideologically invested and much
too proud to ever do that.
Could you share some examples of settings you customize with this tool? The description on the website seems pretty fairly broad.
> The painting is in good quality -- would you expect significant deterioration of the paint if it was actually painted 400 years ago?

By Rembrandt's time they already knew many lightfast pigments which he would have mixed himself so if the painting was stored away correctly, it could theoretically be in decent shape.

To really authenticate one would cost tens of thousands of dollars, though, so it's almost certainly not worth it unless you already have a lot of money to burn. It takes a lot of professional labor to trace the painting's provenance even if the material tests check out because it could just be some practice painting by one of his students or a really old counterfeit.

Or, to demonstrate the ugly "nailclip" style:

Note that I moved a closing paren off the third line and onto the second one, to close the variable bindings in the LET* form.
AMD was founded at almost the same time as Intel. X86 didn't exist at the time.

But yes, AMD was playing the "follow x86" game for a long time until they came up with x86-64, which evened the playing field in terms of architecture.

Interesting. Are you characterizing Kalman filters mostly as systems of control/refinement on top of alpha-beta filters?

I do feel like the core of it is essentially exponential/logarithmic growth/decay, with the option to layer multiple higher-order growth/decay series on top of one another. Maybe that's the gist...
Hieroglyphics are alphanumeric characters. We moved away from them because they are much too detailed to be convenient to write.

You could make a case that alphabetic characters are "objectively better" than syllabic characters, but you'd have to do it on some other basis than "we moved away from them a long time ago"; syllabaries are very common today and don't cause problems.
Fair point, but another nuance present in this case is religious opposition. Hobby Lobby are Christians and believe that abortion is murder, and that things like Plan B are abortion. We can ridicule this opinion all we want as being absurd, but at the end of the day in the US there's a clear right to freedom of religion. We even exempt Quakers and Jehovah's Witnesses (and probably others) from required military service during times of draft and such, so there is definitely precedent of not forcing people to take actions that violate their religious faith.

So, it seems reasonable then that someone could be supportive of Hobby Lobby in this case because they highly value the right to religious freedom, rather than because they "love restricting contraception."
For much of human history that has been a big filter, and it still is in parts of the world today. If you send your child to an Ivy instead of a state school, part of what you are paying for is your child fraternizing with a more affluent and well-connected group for 4 years. We certainly don't have any evidence that the Ivies teach better than other schools, and I have seen little demand for such evidence.

From what I understand the benefit of ip addressing for IoT things is that apps on your phone (for example) can communicate with them directly, ignoring the underlying transport (and therefore, no need to have a thread radio in your phone for the manufacturer specific app to work)

I've always found that the most reliable combination is the Manufacturers app + hub + IoT devices (for example all Aqara or all Nest or all Hue) and interop hasn't worked great because there are special features that only work with the app made for the device (which again, only works with that manufacturers hub) so thread should fix that by making the hub just a dumb Zigbee to IPv6 adapter.

The divorce rate over time does not support this argument. https://cdn.carrot.com/uploads/sites/24362/2021/03/Divorce-R...

Divorce rates spiked after it became easier to get one through no-fault divorce, and slowly reduced from there.

Now, we need to consider the difference between that and cohabiting couples, but the other piece is that there were a lot of unhappy marriages that had no escape until no-fault divorce. They weren't better about talking about everything, but they were even worse at bucking societal expectation.
> Ever hear of SWE or SWET?

Yeah, the Society of Women Engineers is a pretty big deal. I'm not too familiar with their org, so I dunno what SWET would be.
I have a similar frustration with UI differences between apps with Plex. If I look at a TV show season on my phone, episodes I've watched have a blue check mark. When I look at the same season on my TV, there's no blue check but episodes I haven't watched have a yellow triangle. It always makes my brain double take when moving between them.
Easy. It should be a checkbox.

(If checkboxes are unavailable in your design system, you should have an unambiguous label next to it saying "On" or "Off", or better, describing the current state of the system in the terminology of the system, like "Background Noise Cancellation Enabled". But having a control label and a status label _should_ be a clue that you should just be using a checkbox.)
> But a counter argument is that uBlock origin, Pi-hole, and Reader mode in Firefox go a long way to blocking those things and creating a nice reading experience.

Yeah, true. What I mean is that I miss when the web sites were still lighter pretty much and the desktop was still one of the main platforms (heck, one of the reasons of increased PC sales from the late 90s-early 00s was internet access). An example for me is that I had a better time viewing YouTube on a old computer and old OSes on VMs than YouTube today since back then, the site was still light enough and easy to use. Heck, back then you could even run it on Windows 98 and 2000.

Zoom has mute or unmute coupled with icons the least silly choice I've seen regarding this.
Firstly I'll admit that I could not read the full article, but from what I can read it seems like the argument is:

It is a "luxury belief" that someone would want a traditional family but still supports the notion that some "non-traditional" options might represent the best or right choice for someone else? Further, that a tolerance like this to hold one belief for yourself yet recognize the merit in other's choices "inflicts real costs on the lower classes".

Really?

Does the article go on to elaborate on how holding tolerant views is something to look down on?
> Any time I see "parents" require daycare for "their" children, I always think (or in particular cases say): Don't have children if you can't raise them yourself.

Then it should be no surprise that fewer people are having children. Many potential parents are seeing a mismatch between their ideal conditions to having a child and their circumstances and/or the state of the world and choosing not to having children (or delaying)

Addendum: some parents think they can raise kids, but discover they cannot in the worst possible way. I don't judge anyone chooses to place a child in daycare, its much better for society than Shaken Baby Syndrome, for instance.
Full screen app + tell it to shrink (afaik only available if it doesn't natively declare support for the notch).

And it achieves it by scaling the whole screen ever so slightly, ruining pixel offsets everywhere and making everything fuzzy, seemingly so it doesn't ever present a non-standard display ratio despite the notch being very non-standard already, and despite full screen apps already working on external monitors that can have any ratio.

It's not an option anywhere else. Nor would I want that fuzzy mess anyway. It's such an insane design.
The OED gives 24 definitions for the word "female." The second in the list defines female as having the opposite gender identity as a male. Following this definition it would be incorrect to label a trans man as female. I wouldn't like to refer to them as female as this can be offensive or damaging. In my country trans men are medically recognised as distinct and medical professionals are encouraged to use gender affirming terminology. I'm not sure what bearing your insistence on a single definition has to the topic at hand. If the word red had 24 such distinct meanings and if buckets had feelings and preferences about how their colour was described then your metaphor might work better.

Rejecting the dictionary means recognising that dictionaries are made to reflect language as it is used, rather than as a handbook for relating to other people. As descriptive texts they will always lag behind use in practice and, as I said above, I see no reason to insist on certain harmful terminologies on the basis of a dictionary definition. I call them harmful terminologies because of the medical recognition of the distress that can be caused by misgendering individuals.

You recognise yourself that sex has many gray areas. Human life has many gray areas. The more we move towards a society where people are free to express their feelings the more people we see who have been unhappy with their prescribed gender identity. I feel morally obliged to be kind to the people around me and, as someone living in a community and society alongside trans and non-binary individuals, as well as same sex couples, I prefer to make the trivial change in my language that helps them feel included and happy in their own bodies. I can't see any reason why I wouldn't do this, but if others can then they're free to speak as they want.

Pregnant person is a very clear term in my mind.
