>People focus more on their constitutional cases because those are the most impactful/famous, but a lot of their workload is just interpreting normal laws

They have proportionately more constitutional cases because a case hitting the SCOTUS needs to be re-appealed at least twice, and the SCOTUS needs to choose to accept the case (4 out of 9 of the judges to be precise). The SCOTUS only takes a few dozen cases a year, so whatever remains tends to be larger issues.

But yes, very few cases are going to be Brown vs. the Board of Education levels of impactful. Perusing some cases of 2023 reveal one such case "simply" being:

>A case in which the Court will decide whether the "serious drug offense" definition in the Armed Career Criminal Act incorporates the federal drug schedules that were in effect at the time of the federal firearm offense or the federal drug schedules that were in effect at the time of the prior state drug offense.

Basically a bookkeeping case due to the different states as of late re-defining "serious drugs"
This is also the case with Pro M1 Max. Font is very blurry. It's funny how they turn off "scaling/sharpening filter" when video is watched. I've tried a bunch of things to fix it and none of them worked.

A 4K monitor I use works perfectly fine on Linux, but with Macbook Pro, even though resolution perfectly matches, it still has blurred font (the filter they apply completely changes the look of the font, even though I use the same one), everything just remains blurry and again, watching video disables it.
Others have corrected you about gaming; I would point out that for HFT if you write a memory error, you are reasonably likely to encounter it because of the sheer number of swings of the stick you get at hitting the bug. And if that code's concurrent at all, and it probably is, it had even moreso better get it right. You do not want to discover memory errors at run time.

I'd bet HFT has already got all the best static analysis money can buy, not that they're cowboying it more than anybody else.

Memory safety isn't just about "security". Sure, that's a huge issue, but it's also about not spending a month debugging why the login fails one out of a thousand logins because the user's password gets replaced by what seems to be a pointer, but one that doesn't point at anything, starting with the 5th character, or why your HFT code should have ordered 10,000 shares but instead ordered a pointer's worth of shares, or why the second level crashes after precisely the 1023rd frame with completely incomprehensible errors, or any number of other things.

I do not know why any sane developer that has worked through such a thing even once would be willing to entertain the notion of programming without it if it weren't utterly forced on them. I enjoy reading such tales of diagnostic heroism; I don't enjoy being in them anywhere near as much as some programmers apparently do.
This is my current plan as well. This allows me to do mac builds along with linux/windows builds for a reasonable price.
I'm also a kid of the 90s and I still use it :) At least in German, "im Internet surfen" has always been a completely normal expression for, well, surfing the internet. What would the hip people use instead?
Seems stochastic? This is what I see from Opus which is correct: https://claude.ai/share/f5dcbf13-237f-4110-bb39-bccb8d396c2b

>x86 is also proprietary technology that Intel is currently making money on. Should Intel be able to sue AMD out of existence?

AMD has a license to the x86 architecture, alongside Via (though I'm not sure if they even make x86 chips anymore). I'm sure Intel would love to take back AMD's license, but they're probably too afraid of antitrust actions to try.
I tried Sonnet with a question about GANs and it seemed pretty good, better than GPT-3.5
I simply can’t get used to the entitlement of gamers, it’s on a whole nother level. This person writes as if the authors mugged their mother, but the problem is “your emu stopped working on my computer”.

I believe that PG&E, even more than high housing costs, is going to ruin California. The costs are already so astronomical and they keep rising so fast, that it's becoming more and more unreasonable to afford. Even on a silicon valley salary, those bills are shocking.

Matrix functions (at least ones I learned about way back when) are Taylor series representations of a function with the matrix plugged in. For example:

exp(A) = I + A + A^2/2 + ... + A^n/n!

For matrices, you can show these end up as finite series (i.e., it can be written with the highest n being the dimension of the matrix)

The A^n factors can be computed with fewer flops than dense matrices, I believe. The "Q's" don't involve little work since they're "unitary" and satisfy QQ = I, so that for example

A^2 = (QTQ)^2 = (QTQQT) = QT^2Q*

That's where the f(A)= Qf(T)Q* part comes from.

It sounds to me like he's quoting what someone described as a "fundamental tenet of numerical linear algebra" as "anything Jordan decomposition can do, Schur can do better". He doesn't seem to be defending "this is a fundamental tenet", but is saying matrix functions illustrate the "Schur can do better" concept. Both Jordan decomposition and Schur are QTQ* decompositions, so I think he's justifying "Schur can do better" with his comments on poorer stability of Jordan form (i.e., the matrix function property depends on A = QTQ*, which both cases satisfy, but Schur has better numerical properties).

I don't think the post said you need the Schur decomposition if you want an eigendecomposition (I'm taking to mean the full eigenvalue + eigenvector pair). It just pointed out that the diagonals are eigenvalues, the first column of Q will be have the eigenvector for the first eigenvalue, and you can obtain eigenvectors from the remaining info if you want it. I'm not sure what the typical approach is for doing eigendecompositions, it might not directly involve Schur decompositions at all.

So I agree partially that you could add a little motivation to make it more self contained, but also agree it's probably aimed at a less general audience, like students who'd have more context around some stuff where the details are light.
I just had a MacBook Air M1 die suddenly, perhaps because the case has no heat venting.

All data was lost because the storage is not removable.

Replaced it with a Framework which will more repairable and has removable storage.

There's no point boycotting one company playing by the system rules.
Boycott the system which enable this much centralisation of power and removes freedom from citizens.

Copyright and patents are an artifact of the government being easily corruptible by media companies who make insane amount of money.

Show HN: Readingclub.ai – Enable Creative Writing at Any Literacy Level
Today's the official launch of readingclub.ai

During the pandemic, my co-founder Alexis Diamond sought ways to engage his then 7-year-old son, a reluctant reader, in co-reading activities. This led to the development of a highly interactive and personalizable mobile app, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become readingclub.ai. Today, readingclub.ai not only allows for creation and sharing of stories, but will soon enable users to sell their illustrated children's books, opening up new avenues for aspiring authors and illustrators of all ages, languages, and capabilities.

Why readingclub.ai?

Because we think this is going to help people and be very successful.

Since January 1st, I've been all-in on readingclub.ai – our launch today is the result of 2+ months of solid work every single day.

In the end, however, the market is ruthless. The market doesn't care how hard you work. It cares about what you build. If you build something nobody wants, too bad.

But make something people want, and you'll kill it.

Therefore, please help us make a product you'll love. You're our user.

Are you a parent and would you like to be able to write + illustrate children's stories with your children in 10 minutes?
Are you an educator and would you like your students to read (and write) more often, and have fun with literacy, and measure and rate their progress?
Are you an adult who’s always wished to write illustrated storybooks and share them with an audience, and even sell them?
Are you a person who sees readingclub.ai as an opportunity to practice not only your English, but other 50+ languages such as Spanish through reading and writing stories?
Did you try the product, what is your feedback?
How can readingclub.ai be an ideal product for you, for your family, for fun, for an extra revenue channel, for your education, or even your work?

If you are excited about our vision, please support us by upvoting us and commenting on our post on Product Hunt (today) to give us global visibility.

I want to give credit to Steven Tey who developed the open-source library Novel. We extensively leveraged parts of the Novel codebase, particularly in our app's editor. Steven's work sped us up 100x. As we continue to incorporate features inspired by Novel, I want to appreciate the work Steven's done in the open-source community.

Sachin is the creator of the viral Consistent Character GPT. What we learned from Sachin enabled us to engineer prompts for consistent characters. Their course goes way beyond that, and I recommend it to anyone doing creative / marketing work.
Except that your natural saccade is also wired to your motor neurons in your head and neck. For example, there's a strong connection between the neurons that fire to turn your head 10⁰ to the right, and the neurons that fire to turn your eyes 10⁰ to the left, which allows your eyes to fixate on something even as your head moves.

Indeed, it's almost impossible to turn your head slowly without your eyes fixing on points in your field of view, and then saccading to the next point. Try it. This is a hard-wired response. (You can perform some tricks to do it, like completely blurring your eyes, but that's not really the point.)

Meanwhile, if we watch a video with the camera turning, it's easy to keep our eyes staring straight ahead.

This shows that there is going to be a difference between a head naturally turning and watching a video of a head turning.

I think you're describing saccades as just being the "dropping out" of frames, and not including the extremely-relevant motion that our eyes do during a saccade.
That's mostly not true as far as I've seen because most trans-pacific flyers are not willing/able to spend thousands of additional $ to fly in business class.
Oh I know that benefit well! I live in the southeastern US where its hot and humid all summer.

It definitely is nice to jump into a car that's already cooled, I guess its just never been worth the security and fragility concerns when I can just walk out a few minutes early and crank the car up.
They should however get a good enough Siri LLM out the door.

Tell HN: Slack doesn't work on my "old" phone anymore?
Slack just stopped working and told me it can't work on my circa 2017 Samsung phone. In some ways it's great because I don't have to keep using it.
It sure can land anywhere, and once those batteries die you'll have a very high likelihood estimate of exactly when and where it'll do so ;)
> Funny how you say total spending and then argue with a percentage

... so? Total spending is the key factor; Apple gets exposure to 25% of the total human economy by catering to one polity which is also the easiest one to do business in. That's a no-brainer if I've ever heard one.

By contrast, India's economy is only 3% of the world total. [0]

It's interesting to note that this understates US dominance in luxury products - due to being rich-person-friendly, they actually have far more than 25% of the world's rich people - 38% according to page 28 of [1]

I disagree. The other platforms built their walls secure enough that they don't bother. Nintendo is aggressively defending a low fence.

Most Nintendo cartridges will function a decade from now. Many discs for other consoles don't even have the full game on it... and many can't function without connecting to a service. I'd prefer the system that is possible to preserve (but gets aggressive with monetization) then the one that's impossible to preserve.

Points to xbox for doing well with backwards compatibility and carrying libraries forward. But that could change in future.
I don't like dead-cat-themed code examples.

Especially considering that consoles have a less than stellar support from manufacturers, they just move on to the next console and you can say goodbye to your games, especially nowadays with game servers.
You could just get a Chromebook for that and save yourself a ton of money. It's what my wife did, and she's not wanted anything else for seven years.

It isn't close to an apple device in terms of materials or performance, but at a tenth of the cost of a pro it makes a lot of sense.
Just ran the test and seems to have gotten it correct.

Okay, let's think through this step-by-step:

We know that Sally is a girl and she has 3 brothers.
Each of Sally's brothers has 2 sisters.
Now, who are these sisters? They must be Sally and one other sister, because if Sally's brothers had any other sisters, they would also be Sally's sisters, and the problem doesn't mention that.
So, if each of Sally's brothers has 2 sisters, and one of these sisters is Sally herself, then Sally must have 1 other sister.
Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
I’ve done a trade in a few times with Apple and it’s always been simple. There’s a serial number on the device, or you could just select it from devices attached to your account
We saw a similar and opposite situation with Pokemon fans bothering Nintendo to go after Palworld. Considering Nintendo released a statement that boiled down to "we already know", it's clear that whatever Nintendo does or doesn't do has nothing to do with people telling them.
Was your name on the lawsuit or was it an LLC?
Commutes can be very different, too. Someone who walks and uses public transport will feel differently about the weight of their laptop than someone who just has to lug theirs to their car and across the parking lot. Same with travel: Flying with just a carry-on bag and crossing big airports on foot makes lightweight laptops a lot more attractive.
Ah I get it. You're right, my original post was ambiguous, and wrong from that point of view. Sorry for my snark.
This is definitely a problem, but you could also ask this question to random adults on the street who are high functioning, job holding, and contributing to society and they would get it wrong as well.

That is not to say this is fine, but more that we tend to get hung up on what these models do wrong rather than all the amazing stuff they do correctly.
These days CPU vs GPU isn't about the number of ALUs or cores, it's about the latency hiding strategy. A GPU assumes oodles of similar threads are running at the same time, so the moment one blocks on a memory access another can be rotated in. It's hyper-hyper-hyper-hyper-...-hyper threaded. Meanwhile, a CPU is just hyper-threaded, if that, and instead it tries to be clever about prefetching, speculative execution, and the like.

So long as some important applications have tons of similar threads and some have very few threads, it will probably make sense to specialize.
It's disingenuous to say that /sbin/init (machined/main.go) is less than 400 lines of code. Sure, that file is. What about all of the in-tree modules that are being imported? A super lazy summing of Go lines in the master branch of the repo:

$ find . -name *.go | xargs wc -l | tail -1

354085 total

Heck, there are almost 100k lines under internal/app!

$ find internal/app -name *.go | xargs wc -l | tail -1

96885 total

I'm curious what argument you are making here with regards to the number of lines in a single file.
No codec (or any other technical development, really - edit: except for 20+ years old stuff, and only if you don't add any, even "obvious" improvements) is known patent free, or clear on "who owns what."

Folks set up pools all the time, but somehow they never offer indemnification for completeness of the pool - because they can't.

See https://en.kangxin.com/html/2/218/219/220/11565.html for a few examples how the patent pool extortion scheme already went wrong in the past.
> AMD has a perpetual license from Intel to use the technology.

AMD only managed to negotiate that because Intel lost in arbitration [1]. Intel's preferred option was always to eliminate AMD entirely. It's good for us consumers that they didn't succeed in that!

> While both companies probably could make an argument to argue for a take down of both, they have no incentive to do it.

NVIDIA absolutely has an incentive to get rid of Nouveau. Its existence discloses IP (their GPU inner workings) that they would prefer to keep secret.

More examples: JavaScript was proprietary technology at the time. The fact that it was specific to Netscape browsers absolutely benefited Netscape's business model. The existence of Chrome depends on the fact that Netscape had no grounds to go after Microsoft for an independent implementation.

SMB is a proprietary Microsoft technology. '90s Microsoft would definitely have preferred to keep that specific to Windows in order to sell more Windows licenses. It's good for the industry that Microsoft never felt they could go after Samba.

Another fun one: The FBX file format, which Autodesk makes money on through Maya, has a half-hearted attempt at DRM in it to limit it to approved Autodesk licensees. Blender's FBX exporter breaks it with a pass-the-hash attack. Get rid of that and Blender can no longer talk to Unity. Obviously, the entire industry benefits from the fact that Autodesk can't go after Blender for this.

Even the best arc fault breakers (which are NOT the same as ground fault breakers) will not detect certain faults, mainly those that look like normal usage.

A GFCI should detect a live wire into wet ground IF a ground is present, but not all breakers are required to be GFCI.

Big fan of Talos, have used it in some homelab + cloud clusters over the years, currently powers all my self-hosting. The `talosctl` command is great, and any time you need to do node-level debugging, there's always something like node-shell [1].

What difference are you seeing between Yuzu's patreon and Ryujinx's patreon?
It's interesting that this article didn't mention Gopher, which was developed at the University of Minnesota. Jean Amour Polly would have definitely known about it, as back then the Gopher Team was all about creating Digital Libraries.

And Mark McCahill was a ardent Windsurfer, which resulted in this shirt, designed by his partner Wendy Jedeckila, way back in 1991!

This is a shame.

The Nintendo consoles are JUNK. So much nicer on my PC and one less piece of trash I have to keep in my room.
It’s not clear to me that the compiler couldn’t detect when you try to move a self referential string and prevent it. It basically does if you use pin.
