Coincidentally, Microsoft ended support for WSA the day after I wrote this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39606464

Unlike Windows Subsystem for Linux which is thriving, Google's stranglehold on Android via its Play Store renders any attempt to integrate Windows and Android non-viable.
Yes! Terence Blanchard is still around and sounding great, and from the generation after him I’d single out Ambrose Akinmusire and Avashai Cohen.

I think there are certain types of tabular data that lend themselves naturally to tree models. But when you're talking about tabular data for finance I guarantee you very few hedge funds are running tree models for trading strategies. When your scale of data is the past X quarters of all stock prices and trade volumes you have enough data that you can fit an NN and there are a number of techniques you can use to reduce overfitting (large amount of data, good regularization, dropout, etc.)
NOVA's "ultra-processed" definition is hopelessly broad, ranging from fruit yogurts to liquor to chocolate to the actual packaged food products you're probably thinking of when you hear that term.

This is useless if you care about what specifically is harmful - probably salt, sugar, saturated fat, all the bad things we knew about long before "ultra-processed" became a buzzword.
Yeah I don't know how they plan to shaft business users with that. It's so slow.

I noticed recently that Microsoft relented and soon starts introducing CoPilot features into old outlook (or 'real' or 'full' outlook as people are calling it at work). Previously it was coupled to 'new' outlook only to promote adoption. But it really sees a lot of pushback from users. I hope this will continue into not canning the real outlook at all.

Microsoft are always pushing 'more change management' as a 'solution' but some changes are simply not good and it's normal for users to resist. If anything they push too much (like turning on features by default, and sending reminders that you have not used feature xyz enough last week through Viva Insights)

And the skullduggery they're doing with the consumer windows mail migration (pulling the user's email into their cloud without making this very clear) is totally out of line IMO.

Personally I don't even hate the web version so much. I use it daily because Microsoft never made a native outlook for my platform anyway. But I'm not a heavy user of mail and I do see its limitations.
That's so obviously incorrect that it'd be funny if those sprinters weren't so mightily uncomfortable. I guess it takes a Calvinist to prefer them.
True but perhaps too cold and too direct?

"The problem is you" could have been "Maybe have peers and a mentor look at your CV" or something similar that's constructive.
My user case could basically be summed as running apps that I never wanted on my phone in the first place.
Ignore the comments on DownDetector for a moment and check out that huge spike in reports recently. Clearly something wrong happened with AWS's user experience. That's something AWS needs to resolve, in the eyes of their users.

>The chart shows a big spike this morning, but there was no AWS outage

Are you sure? If hundreds of users simultaneously reported there was some sort of outage, particularly a huge spike like we saw, chances are there was an outage.

>Again, DownDetector can be a useful "is something unusual happening right now" signal

Exactly! Specifically, "is something unusual happening right now with my site, in the eyes of my users?" Every site owner should know when that condition is true. What you think about your site "up-ness" isn't as important as what your users think about your site "up-ness". What you attribute your downtime to, isn't as important as what your users attribute your downtime to (you.)
I think the big difference is information. My grandparents were born around 1920. There was no radio, no TV. It would surprise me if they had any form of newspaper (I need to ask my dad). Their world was very small, situated under the church tower.

So all info basically came from what they knew from their parents, the farm, their neighbors, and on Sunday what the priest said. There were school teachers of course, which were regarded the same as a doctor or lawyer. But their own knowledge was probably also very limited science wise.

Like I said before, even if they didn't really believe, they would still go to Church on Sunday. One of my granddads had a more religious family, and his brother was a Monk and sister a Nun.

My parents know the introduction of radio & TV. People get smarter, know more, probably also start questioning things more. And my generation, well, we had an excellent education. It's very hard to not start questioning things.

In the end, I think it starts deteriorating step by step. First it starts out with "Probably Jesus didn't really walk on water, it's just a matter of speech." And then it's other things. People get smarter, in their own lifetime but also over generations. It wouldn't surprise me if my grandparents and parents were more religious when they were younger.

Also, I was told there was a cinema where people would go to watch movies (before TV). The priest would go see the new movie first, and then tell everyone if they were allowed to go see that movie or not. People don't like that kind of control, and start rebelling against it. "The priest sees all the dirty things but we're not allowed".

At least for me, it feels like I started questioning things. I believed in God up until I was around 12. It also felt rebellious to know that it was all bullshit, while everyone else said it was real. But I guess it wasn't really rebellious since almost all boys of my age thought the same thing, especially at the age of 15.
Interesting. Usually I have better luck with xgboost for tabular data, even when the relationships are complex (which usually means deeper trees). It does fall flat a lot of the time for very high dimensions, though. All data is different, I guess.
It implies that they wouldn't all agree on religion, just as they would not agree on virtually any other subject
This article is based on StatCounter, and I would like to see evidence that StatCounter data is reliable. Their historical data is all over the place and probably includes a lot of bot activity. I would be surprised if Linux desktop usage share is above ChromeOS. Statista reports that it is not.
Sorry, kicking things off with a tangent here. I've been seeing datalog for graph queries popping up a lot recently, but every datalog example I see looks totally different. Is it just a general concept? Or are there some actual unifying syntax features for different datalog implementations? Does saying "this uses datalog" guarantee some core functionality?
Not OP but I bought a Rift when it was still just Oculus.

...then Facebook bought Oculus...

...and then required you to have a Meta account to continue using the Oculus drivers.

It's a real "boil the frog" strategy and this is still early days for VR in terms of realized market value. The time to push back on this bullshit is yesterday. As we can all see, nobody can compete with Meta on price with the Quest 3, but the cost to purchase is heavily subsidized by the expected futures.
holy mackerel, I had no idea their operation was so large. that's terrifying; I hope their network has been rolled up following Crowdstrike's article. in any event, it sounds like they don't have any shortage of outbound connectivity options.

You're not looking hard enough.
I use this feature a lot when using my X1 Nano while lounging on my bed. Opening the screen to its near-maximum extent and holding the laptop vertically puts the screen at eye level in that position, making it more comfortable to use for an extended period because it doesn’t keep my neck craned down.
Obviously, Nissan can't keep the 2g network around even if they wanted to. But if they had simply used a USB port you could throw in a £20 modem.

Mali is meant for Android devices and Arm provides official drivers for Android. Arm doesn't provide any drivers for the desktop Linux stack so people are spending years reverse engineering drivers.

Toyota has not been a leader in full-EVs because they believe that most customers want a non-charging hybrid solution — one they "just put gas in to" and forget about anything else.

IMHO, this is the correct solution for all but a handful of commuters (e.g. a WFH citydweller could probably enjoy a full EV, but not for vacations).
I don't want to crash this getdoks post (so you should check it out) but I searched far and wide across different docs setups and I'm SO happy with Starlight from the Astro folks.[1]

Supports Markdown, Markdoc (powers Stripe docs & is what we're using), MDX, and of course HTML.
Since it's built on Astro, it's super easy to extend with React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, or Qwik for interactive demos, code sandboxes, or other more complex features.

I worked with a colleague who didn't write JS for a long while. My colleague purposefully tried to build the project with the output of ChatGPT.

One of the problems my colleague ran into is that once things don't work as expected, debugging is really hard. When you build a system yourself you have a knowledge foundation, and a process that you repeat over and over. They are intrinsic to your development process. They allow you to quickly debug problems. But not so much when dealing with this kind of generated code. Much more often did we have to resort in peeling back the layers and realize something a couple of layers down was wrong.

One example is that the generated code does not contain take age of the code into account. So all of the sudden you're mixing ESM and non-ESM packages and you get the weirdest errors.

> sometimes I would spend 10 minutes crafting a prompt, forcing me to fully understand and articulate my own line of thinking about what I was trying to achieve .

The reality is that this is one of the reasons why I actually love coding. As someone who has many times unconsciously said the wrong things and pissed off people (sorry!), using a limited grammar to express my wants feels so much safer. The grammar is limited. It is extremely explicit. There is no ambiguity. And bar a few esoteric languages, there are no emojis, and there is no need for me to be polite or offer a tip.
Completely different category too. It’s too long and drives like a boat for what I like.
Yes: to STOP. Your answer is just pedantry.

One can also just put the car in neutral and let it roll to stop occasionally correcting with the break pedal, if we want to be pedantic.

Yes. You login first, and then it completes device setup. At least, that's how it works for the Rift.

Oh man, again?

The Greens didn't shut down the NPPs, the CDU/CSU/FDP government under Merkel did after Fukishima, screwing over the previously well done plan from the SPD/Green government.

And no, NPPs were not replaced with gas, Germany never really burned gas for electricity. They were replaced, over time since nobody shut them down over night, by a mix of renewables (mainly solar and wind) and coal (bad enough, but at a cobstabt decline regardless).

Fun fact: It was the Greens that kept the German NPPs running way beyond the plqn, as long as safely possible with the available fuel, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
It's a surprisingly difficult task with quite a bit of research history.

We looked at different solutions extensively (https://medium.com/towards-data-science/editing-text-in-imag...) and ended up building a tool to solve the problem: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/textify-2

Eventually models will get to the point where they can do this well natively but for now the best we can do is a post-processing step.

Wage inflation is always linked to supply and demand, with so many people coming over the border and given work authorisation (and even those who don't get it) the labor supply goes up, wages moderate.

I noticed the flag, it's very odd. If it shows I think it means that it's been flagged by multiple people not just one, but I could be wrong.
I just looked it up to be sure. It seems like the mean lifetime is 12 years, which is the figure one uses for calculations. The half life is shorter.

But that's not the case. It's a false positive.

Pick a DownDetector service and open the page every day for a few days. You'll see it most of the time just reflects people waking up in the US timezones.
comparing it with a monitor is rather unfair, you have to bundle the computing along with it, not to mention the applications to make it an actually fair comparison. At that point, is it still ludacris?

And then

> while I might have been open to hiring a digital nomad in 2021, I’m not open to that anymore because there are more “normal” candidates out there who aren’t asking for special treatment or unrealistically high salaries.

Maybe these things are related.

“Normal” has changed. The engineers I know have moved away and are very happy with the flexibility of their new WFH lifestyle and the work life balance it provides. And they will refuse to work for organizations like yours that continue to hold regressive views on WFH.
I believe he was referring to "Professional and technical services".

This is a general category that includes legal advice and representation; accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll services; architectural, engineering, and specialized design services; computer services; consulting services; research services; advertising services; photographic services; translation and interpretation services; veterinary services; and other professional, scientific, and technical services.

Man, how'd you spot that one? I'd have been all over that.
It is possible, but a) it is expensive as hell to get enough engineers whom you can prove in court have no exposure to the original software (most SWE's would get some exposure just naturally in college nowadays, leave alone at any sort of job) and b) CUDA is constantly changing and updating and so you need to have this expensive clean-room process going constantly or else you will fall behind.

The most famous case of clean-room reverse engineering is for the original BIOS chips back in the early 1980's, where the chips themselves couldn't change- they were hardware! It's going to be orders of magnitude more difficult to do that for software packages that change regularly.
Those are the exact same thing?
Buying the Dip
I'd argue that it's not just Steam's support for Linux via Proton that's pushed some gamers to Linux. It's also that the Steam Deck ships with Linux, providing an example of how Linux just works nowadays.

(Yes, I know, Linux still has its fair share of problems, but today's Linux is very stable and generally user-friendly.)
Ok that's shooting right up the list! Back and forward arrows to allow you to hammer through the back catalogue
"Professional and technical services" covers a lot of stuff, and there may be lots more workers in 'professional services' that are not software folks.

I've got more than a handful of (over)qualified colleagues that can't get hired anywhere. Hundreds of applications - not all just click/submit, but many have personal connections/intros vouch for them - hiring will take less experienced/cheaper folks, or... just put off hiring for another few months.

Place near me has had the same open position for going on 16 months now. Specific language/tech stack where they also want someone onsite 5 days week. When you've had the position open that long, and you've turned away qualified people for... nitpicky stuff... the job must not be that important. Yet, somehow it's ultra-important to be onsite 5 days/week. Suspicion is that they're just riding the other devs there harder while they 'look' for someone they have no intention of hiring, all while saying "we just can't find anyone!".

> When Rapid7 contacted JetBrains about their uncoordinated vulnerability disclosure, JetBrains published an advisory on the vulnerabilities without responding to Rapid7 on the disclosure timeline. JetBrains later responded to indicate that CVEs had been published.

Is this a failure on JetBrain's part to acknowledge the issue and properly give credit for discovering the CVE?

The liquidation (or dividend) preference is the differentiating feature of preferred stock. In corporate finance, preferred stock is, for the reasons you give, treated as a hybrid of equity and debt.
Yeah, I know it’s an intentional strategy. I’m just commenting that I wouldn’t have particularly high hopes in the near term for Mazda EVs due to the Toyota partnership. Toyota are one of the leading companies researching solid state batteries, though (or so it seems), so that could be a game changer.
I hadn't considered that at all. Will address!

In cybersecurity there's a startlingly large amount of Datalog: CodeQL compiles down to Datalog and runs via Souffle, Joern expresses program analysis in Datalog, there are a lot of hand-rolled rules inside companies using Datalog to compute transitive reachability of resources given an ACL, Biscuits are capabilities using Datalog-style rules instead of JWT tokens.

I've used https://s-arash.github.io/ascent/ in a handful of Rust sideprojects, and it was very nice: you can treat it as a built-in graph datatype in the same way Hillel and the OP talk about, because it's a proc macro that can reuse all the rest of your Rust program datatypes and functions with your Datalog queries, instead of an entirely separate program you have to bolt on like if you want to integrate SWI-Prolog or something.

The article as of now on HN is showing "Facing reality about the EU is a core requirement for good management" while the actual article title is "Facing reality, whether it’s about Apple or the EU, is a core requirement for good management".

Very obviously I was not talking about what a "EU" is. But instead what the article is talking about, whatever big thing is going on with the EU, if you click in and miss the actual title, they are burying the lead quite heavily.

In some form this seems to be how EU is putting tighter push on Apple in some way, but the headline as shown on HN doesn't give you any information. Just telling you that you are bad at your job if you don't think correctly about this big thing going on with EU, and if you don't even know what big thing is going on with the EU, while you're already out of the game.
Exactly, it's a daily thing for users- it's only an edge case for the developers, because they are likely developing and testing with hard wired high speed connections.
The most successful use pf generative AI is a chatbot… once you can use a model with natural language you need less rich UIs. I think UIs will become simpler and value will be in the proprietary data you can manage to grab to adapt existing models to some valuable use cases.
Yes, because the app doesn't directly talk to the car. It talks to the cloud service and the cloud service sends the instructions to the car over 2g. Unacceptable. Those radios should be modular enough that you could upgrade it with a 3g/4g modem, you could charge for the part.

I'm now starting to get old enough to get annoyed like my predecessors who hated any car with a computer in it at all. My car is 23 years old, runs like a champ. I can't imagine throwing a car out in 10 years, or buying a car from any company that thinks that's something anyone should do.
I started this particular subthread, and I actually do know how to spell fuchsia.

In college once I made a reference to "my red notebook over there" and the entire room (all women except for me) erupted in "that's not red; that's fuchsia" with one lagging voice adding, "or hot pink."

So yeah, I can spell it, if only because I had never heard of that color before then and I looked it up.
