I believe[1] this is just attaching to an open session.

From what I have read, login sessions require integration with a login manager, and from what I understand that work isn't done yet (this work being a prerequisite).

It seems[2] that gnome is going to support this in a future release (march?)?

I'm sure KDE will have something similar in the works eventually. I currently use xrdp/xorg-xrdp for headless remote login sessions, and while it works ok, I would love to switch to using something more integrated into kde itself.

The abstract says they did mice experiments; so do they draw any conclusions for humans?
No. You keep the small car for your base case and join a car share program for the outlier trip.
> Though part of it is the usual finance trick, moving capex to opex. They'd probably pay less if they just bought them. But finance guys just loooove reducing capex.

Years ago I worked for a state university where senior management was doing the mirror image trick - they weren’t able to get any more money for opex but plenty of money for capex. So they padded out all these projects with contractors, such that our project’s budget was paying 100% of the contractor’s hours but only actually getting 50% of them, and they spent the other 50% doing day-to-day “keeping the lights on” stuff.

I suppose public sector finance can have very different fundamentals from private sector.
Why would anyone buy that?

Marginal gravity. Just an idea I'm pondering.

Because for any product, no matter how ridiculous - whether it's the
"I'm rich app" [0] or motorised spaghetti forks and other Chindogu
[1], there's always some tiny minority of people who will buy it.

Those people are the proverbial clueless rubes who have no real
experience, sense of context or value, but discover some product and
assume that "it's normal". Maybe they never needed a printer in their
life, but suddenly need one, and the first thing they come across is
this outrageous HP product. Without any corrective influences they
just purchase.

To this we add Erica Chenoweth's 3.5% rule [2].

Now this handful of idiots set a kind of precedent that accrues more
and more "almost idiots",and eventually otherwise quite reasonable
people are being sucked into a giant black hole of madness.

In no time everybody wants a broken expensive, piece of crap that
spies on you, and the last percentile of genuinely sensible people are
left holding out - being mocked by the new majority as "unreasonable"
Luddites who resists "progress".

So they reserve the right to work there because they're making cool stuff?

But they also reserve the right not have to go into the office?

I don't view remote work as a right. It's a policy decision of the employer, same as it's a policy decision of the employer on what they work on, including GTA.
Thanks HP for reaffirming my position of never buying an HP printer again and never recommending one to any of my friends or family ever.

What a despicable company.
They'll never give you more VRAM at gamer prices because that would cut into workstation card sales.
It's actually not. The word is Persian, but it's (again) from Sabres of Paradise. The muslim subjects of Russia called the Czar the "Padishah".
This finding is so funny, it's like despite the interconnectedness in the 21st century things like this still happen.
More and more people have begun to feel that carrying around a smartphone, being pervasively connected to the Internet at every moment, is a large net negative in their life. It detracts from immediate experience of one's actual physical environment, greatly but subtly.

So, some still want a device that is "just music," nothing else.
Maybe... but can you fast forward / rewind via tap on a bluetooth headset? :-)

I don't use RHEL or Gnome, so I can ignore them for now.

I've begun the process of moving all of my machines away from Linux and to BSD anyway. While I have so many that the effort will probably take a couple of years to complete, perhaps I can complete it before I really get bit by this issue.

Or, worst case, I'll just stop updating and keep everything frozen on a version that meets my needs
Improved nighting is an awesome gift. I'm jealous.
Ah, okay - thanks for the additional detail. Makes a little more sense now.
Ivan Sutherland's Sketchpad was developed for the TX-2! Here's a paper where he describes his experience working with it: https://www.ll.mit.edu/sites/default/files/page/doc/2018-05/....

One interesting thing that caught my eye was this:

> Hardware bugs also happened, through component or engineering failure; TX-2 was, after all, an experimental computer. The quickest way to get a bug fixed was to write a very simple program that failed in spite of obvious correctness, and the easiest way to “explain” this bug to the hardware engineers was to show them a Polaroid photograph of the panel of toggle switches that “stored” 24 words of 38 bits each and the console lights. Leaving a program in toggle switch memory that should obviously work, but failed, was a sure way to get the hardware people to fix a bug.

I checked out a memorandum on the toggle switch storage system (http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/mit/tx-2/6M-5661_Toggle_Switch_...). From what I understand, it allowed direct manual input of data and instructions into memory through these switches. TX-2 had 24 registers, each 37 bits long. Sixteen of these could be manipulated using the toggle switches on the main control panel. So, programmers could directly alter instructions.

The system involved some kind of resistor-switch matrix (not sure exactly what it does though!). But it enabled switches to toggle between 0 (ground position) and 1 (connected to some kind of resistor driver) - this, in turn, would help represent individual bits. Neat stuff!

If anyone has fun stories related to all this, I'd love to hear them!
And Mhz for CPUs? :-)

As much as numbers are universal they seem to be quickly fatiguing the general public... if there isn't a _perceptible_ improvement! Regardless of units; and I like that about non-engineering - normal people: if it isn't perceptibly better then... _whatever, next!_.

(and I certainly didn't by my current camera-device for the megapixels)
Cloudron and YunoHost are Sandstorm alternatives that seem to have more traction.
Yea, it can take your life, your children, your freedom, and your dignity right along with the wealth. You harbor a view of "positive rights", that you are entitled to property that belongs to someone else; positive rights stand in direct conflict with negative rights, things that you are free from, like censorship, or search and seizure. Negative rights create economic cooperation and create robust societies with diverse opportunities, positive rights create bread lines and mass murder.
128! It was right there!
I wonder if printing would have a future, if the main company wasn’t so awful. I quite like a hard copy sometimes…
I get why Kenji went to video, and more power to him. Unfortunately for me, I just hate getting video content, and will almost never watch that sort of thing. I'm a text person.

So for the most part Kenji's online content has dropped off the face of the map for my own usage. He does contribute to cooking.nytimes.com so I'll get some of his newer recipes there.
One possible way of looking at this is that human language is the way most people deal with abstraction, and abstract concepts. And there does seem to be some evidence that some of these abstractions in language may be universal to humans (I don’t fully buy all of the universal grammar stuff but still)

I think you could conceive of abstraction from other forms, maybe something like platonic forms as a base instead of language (again probably not in humans, but in others)
This is quite a list, thanks!
Why? Most of HN is just flame wars. Please stop being a hypocrite. This is disgusting behavior.
GTA VI has been in the works for years and years, it's probably in development hell.
My custom built 3D printers are somehow less annoying to use than my HP inkjet and laser printer, and I was already planning on getting a different brand when they died. This seems like HP is suddenly trying to play hard to get when they're already hard to want.
So they're exactly like every other company?
The last GTA game took half a decade.

They are 7 years "overdue" from the previous release, but that means nothing by itself.

The last GTA game took the longest and would have seemed past due before release, but look at the level of depth it had. It's still the top game over a decade later.

Most importantly they never give a due date too early for this exact reason.
I think they put quotes around the wrong part of the title.

"Right-Wing" should be in quotes because it is the most dubious part of the title.

I guess we're all right wing now. Why is Bloomberg running cover for Google? It wasn't just that white historical figures were not white, but even requesting them to be white was rejected as problematic.

The fact that someone at Google couldn't understand how utterly useless their product would be is unreal.

Repeat after me. No one wants woke (or otherwise indoctrinated) AI. No one.

We don't need to be scolded by our AI overlords for everyday, real world things, like a photo of George Washington riding a gay unicorn on Uranus.
Yeah no. Printing isn’t a daily activity that you can forecast. There are some days I need to print 100 pages, while months when I have nothing to print. Just going to go make some popcorn, for when this fails spectacularly and pushes them further to their graves.
Yeah really. Why's he so proud of sorting a couple of cans?
> join a car share program for the outlier trip.

Any kind of "share" program inevitably will wind up becoming "I have to compete for this resource when I want to use it, which means sometimes I won't be able to access it when I need it"

So that's a big fat no from me

You can share access to important resources all you want. I'm not playing that game
I had a unit tests for a Java LocalDate that was being increased by one year. It checked whether the month and day were the same, and failed because the current day (29) didn't equal the year-hence one (28). I changed it to check that the difference between the days was less than two.
While that’s true, proponents of the so called “white erasure” theory had a field day with it because it was essentially doing just that and validating their racist conspiracy theories.
> if we want to usefully operationalize the question of whether computers are capable of understanding we should jettison the consciousness question and focus instead on questions like this: Do computers process physical information in broadly the way human brains are processing it when humans are doing what we call understanding?

The writer jettisons consciousness in order to focus on something we can actually argue about, but then proposes a highly anthropocentric framing. I appreciate that, but I wonder if we have to be that narrow in our framing. I'm not well read on the subject, but it seems to me we should be able to come up with something a little more forgiving. Why is human brain processing so important? If an AI understands in its own way, and gets better results than any human, wouldn't we accept it as understanding?
What outlier trip? If they have to transport up to 4 people twice per week, is that really considered an outlier?
You do realize that durability and availability are different properties of a system, right?

Bloomberg is about as woke as Google is today. Of course they consider clearly bigoted bias against White people to be 'rushed' rather then inherently wrong.
The gap between GTA IV and V was five years. That was the longest gap in the franchise until now. This is an egregiously incorrect statement!

Because with transactions things have to match and sometimes data errors happen.

Take something really simple like a bank cash transfer. Do you really think that no one ever accidentally puts in a typo in an account number or an amount?
If that happens then the transaction either fails or doesn't do as desired. Either way someone has to manually resolve it.

Take that and put it on steroids for securities transactions.
> My reaction when I hear this is that those people are being paid entirely too much money if an LLM can do their job.

That feels like such an unnecessarily cynical view to me. First, parent comment didn't say they are using LLMs to "do their jobs". Frankly, I feel that if you're a knowledge worker and aren't using LLMs at least part of the time, you're likely being inefficient. E.g. LLMs don't replace my skill as a software developer, but they sure make it faster to learn new libraries/technologies faster.
Those are harder to get wrong, since leap year bugs are almost always from consumers of dates. To screw up a not-a-leap-year-year you'd need to produce a bogus February 29 on a real March 1. Date producers tend to understand how the calendar works better than that.
I think that's for the big brother of the one in the article, which is the 'lite' version.
...it occurs to me, when should those services congratulate you? Should it be on February 28 or March 1?

They essentially propose that RNA molecules would be ligated to a small number of amino acids and would then use them for catalysis, and from there evolved the ability to create proteins that are not covalently bound to RNA. So this bridges the RNA world with the RNA-peptide world, and from there it's much easier to conceive of how we arrived at modern biology.

There's a good reason to think that this was the path, since in all organisms today, tRNAs are ligated to single amino acids during translation.

You are describing the behavior of a NACS vehicle. I'm wondering what happens if you connect a DC charger to the AC pins of a CCS1 vehicle, and then start the DC handshake.

If the DC charger is required to passively sense the battery voltage before charging, then it's probably fine. Otherwise, magic smoke!
And yet, small car like a VW Golf will be enough for all mentioned cases, not a truck.

It's a book about galactic Jihad for God's sake. Of course they are going to "deflavor" it. I'm of the opinion the entire production is to take narrative control over this amazing work of literature. You can not mistake who are the bad guys and who are the good guys :)

Dune and its follow up volumes are visionary fiction.
The question is how hard is it to get experimental evidence for the thing.

If it occurs under a wide variety of circumstances at a high rate, it's easy.

If it involves an extremely unlikely set of circumstances, it's not easy, and will be hard to replicate.

Good chuckle here and """I'm offended!!!""". I'm not. mp3 128 in video is a crappy 480p stuff - bearable, but not _enjoyable_. 1080p on an appropriate display would kinda work as mp3 v0 - good enough for _almost_ all.

But then again, I have not spent any time with 4k content on an appropriate display. I may stay mistaken until!

This is a review critical of the book: https://slate.com/human-interest/2024/02/abigail-shrier-bad-... which has the excerpt:

"And while I agree with Shrier that the statistics on skyrocketing rates of diagnoses for kids are sobering and deserve a hard look, the idea that therapy is where it all went wrong is where things get a little slippery. It takes Shrier until Page 70 to acknowledge that the vast majority of American children are not, in fact, in therapy, in the “one-on-one, weekly-ish conversation with a professional” sense. They are, instead, receiving some elements of it through social-emotional learning curricula in schools."
I'm quite happy that content farms are spewing out AI articles left and right, we might finally get to the point where regular people start to follow individual writers and editors instead of brands. They're only about to get away with this because it doesn't actually matter who writes the articles they are so boring and generic.

Idea: put 2 on the car, opposite each other. Provides redundancy in the event one is damaged & increases usability by not being fussy about the specific parking situation.
Yep.

This sort of thing is just propaganda for the poors, those who can will have big cars and houses in the city anyway.

The only non-financial downside to having a larger vehicle is occasionally struggling to find parking, and even that is mostly a non issue outside of city centres.
Your apathy on the issue is a moral judgement. You think it's not a big deal. I disagree. We should not be "adapting" art to fit modern sensibilities. I don't care if they take artistic liberties with the space ship designs, but changing key aspects of how you interpret an old the story is bad. Maybe just make your own movie instead of misrepresenting a key cultural relic.
Yeah looked it up, so only half a decade, corrected my post.

My point was, it takes a longer time each time and without seeing the level of gameplay you don't know whether it's mismanaged or simply an extensive game being developed.

You also don't know the percentage of their resources they put towards it. I'm sure maintaining and developing GTA Online took at least some resources.

Either way, I'm not going to shit on the one company that actually knows how to make full games.

Putting a card in before pumping is considered "prepay". They'll put a hold on your account to make sure you have the money. There isn't much point to post-pay with cards.

10–15 years ago it was common in the US where you would pull up, hit "pay inside", pump all your gas, then go inside and pay at the register. Now because of theft, if you want to pay with cash, virtually all stations require you to go inside, pay for x gallons of gas, and they'll turn on the pump to give you that much. Which is annoying because unless you're really good at guessing, you can't just fill it up anymore.
This article isn't about a VW Golf or a Truck. It's about a Microlino.. which wouldn't be enough for any of the mentioned cases.
I also do, with the substreamer app organizing my music with beets[2]. And it's great, especially with smart playlists[1] concept shamelessly stolen from iTunes (I mean this in a good way).

The top reply to that comment rightfully points out that this applies to your shell specifically. This isn't a concern for formats that don't have executable code (and I assume roff doesn't, right?)

You might say, yes, but it's still a good idea to review the file before you open it. OK sure, but that isn't going to work for binary files anyway, so "Friends don't let friends pipe streams into commands" should not be the general rule. "Friends don't let friends pipe streams into shells" is certainly a good enough general rule.
