Lol it is for this exact problem that I added one more shortcut to my script

Ctrl+8 will paste in the latest item on my clipboard, and honestly it has been so helpful that I'm quite elated.

I recommend others running a userscript for themselves, this extension is awesome, but it's something that can be broken again and again. not really a permanent solution
I'm not sure where you live (probably the US), but here in Europe you can easily get GPON ONTs from different manufacturers. There even are whole communities dedicated to replacing your ISP's ONT+modem combo: https://hack-gpon.org/quick-start

In some countries (Germany) it's super easy, because there are laws forcing the ISPs to allow customer provided equipment, while in other countries you need to do some hackery with spoofing serial numbers and such of the original modem. People even make utilities to scrape that information via the administrative interface, and make the process semi-automated: https://github.com/StephanGR/GO-BOX

The biggest problem for me about the ISP routers is their sheer size, they probably make them big so that they seem "powerful" to the average person and he chooses that ISP believing that their router provides superior Wi-Fi. New apartments built here (in Poland) even have nice boxes with the incoming fiber and an electrical socket where you are supposed to hide your Router, but the shoebox-sized devices don't fit there and you have to put them on the floor, or somewhere else. I myself have bought a SFP+ GPON (LEOX LXT-010S-H) transceiver, which is the smallest form-factor you can get. It goes inside my Banana-Pi R3 router, together with an LTE modem for backup connectivity. And this setup is still smaller than the box provided by my ISP, which only served as a bridge between GPON and my router.

I just purchased a 2021 Camry Hybrid and it is a dream. It isn't "fast," but "quick" — and it gets 50+mpg!

When I learned that 2025+ Camry's are ALL Hybrids, it just made sense...
The same can be said of cellular networks where in most part of the world connecting your own equipment is accepted and expected.
"People" is neutral.

"Folks" is meant to elicit closeness or empathy.

Both have their uses. Choice of usage predates Obama by a wide margin.
Amazing business and technology!
Better at what? They're much better at not emitting CO2, for example.

Also, why do you need a throwaway to say that you prefer ICE to EV?
It's due to their reputation for rock-solid reliability, better torque and MPG with hybrids and making sure a hybrid option is available across all vehicle sizes.

Typically Honda would compete with Toyota with similar offerings but their hybrids aren't matching up to Toyota yet in MPG and you can't get it in large SUVs.

So now you have a situation where nobody is competing with Toyota because everyone's busy making EVs.

True or not, it's now assumed you can drive a Toyota for 150k miles without breaking a sweat.

Toyota Sienna and Toyota Grand Highlander are three row vehicles rated at 36 MPG. These cars are selling out before they even hit the dealer lot.
To be fair it’s not 33% slower at opening vs code, and having 30 browser tabs open with slack while using a hot reload compiler on a big code base… It’s 33% slower while running some synthetic 3d video processing benchmark. And even the other 66% is pretty good
AT&T Fiber in bridge mode is not actually bridge mode. It's some weird 1:1 NAT if I recall, and buggy in certain conditions.

You can get the 802.11x certificates off the gateway itself and auth via your own equipment though if you are sufficiently motivated[0].

I believe there are some newer methods as well, but I haven't kept up on it since I've luckily been able to get a different provider since that doesn't play games with the gateway devices. RCN at least lets you BYOD and is an ONT only.

He did a day workshop at my old company about 10 years ago. He did come off as a dick, and very opinionated, but I really liked his no-stone-unturned approach, and ended up buying a few of the books when they came out later, and I got so much good stuff from reading them. I personally disagree with many of his opinions and have no problem with this at all; he covers everything (including parts of the language he clearly hates) in such detail that I can form my own dissenting opinions whenever I want. If anything, it’s a good thing that he is so openly opinionated - it makes it easier for me to pay attention and prompts me to ‘argue back’ and form my own (better) opinions, compared to just reading dry material that always tries to remain neutral and void of feeling. The only problem with opinionated code writers is if they actually fail to cover the stuff they don’t like. KS covers it all, with relish, often bitterly. I love it. Same for Doug Crockford. Always found him hilariously opinionated, often to the point that he was clearly fighting against reality, and yet I learned a ton by reading the cantankerous old git.
Yeah that's what happens when you make it thinner and without a fan, you run it at lower power and it can also get hotter...

This is such clickbait it's no wonder why there are people that have a seething hate for Apple. Nothing has competed with Apple laptops since the M1 dropped.
Original title uses “students.” I haven’t counted the characters but I wouldn’t be surprised if the original title exceeded HN’s length limits, and “folks” was used to shave a few letters off to shorten it to <= HN’s limits.

I have fond memories of following the messy developments on Groklaw.

That blog instilled me with hope that we'd see more and more amazing works from all sorts of experts on the web, distilling speciallized topics that would otherwise be pretty incomprehensible (or worse: shallowly editorialized) into thrilling but educational content.

Alas, I've never found another site that so consistently and deeply explained its subject matter from an expert perpective in language non-experts could follow. If you have examples of such content, I'd be very interested in pointers to them.

That is, quite literally, one of its common definitions… as in most English dictionaries side against you here.

Also that “Obama-era” connotation preceded Obama by at least a full Obama.

Folk is as old as folk. As Lou Reed said when asked about folk music he said, “let me tell you about folk music, the folk are listening to rock and roll”.
"Folks" is all including without specifics to any identity and doesn't seem to carry the exclusion weight of "Those people".

People while also all including tends to bring with it the identity war with it.

I use folks as a 1:1 to avoid the above.
>Tesla came close but long term their reliability...

I have joked, since 2016, that Tesla will be among the largest donators of intellectual property [to other vehicle manufacturers incorporating their ideas]; but that ultimately hybrid drivetrains like Toyota's are a better solution for most long-distance travelers.

Trust me, that's how courts operate, and that's pretty much all we need to know unless and until Congress can be convinced to change the law (which is highly unlikely).

In civil cases, on questions like this, courts go with the "more likely than not" standard of proof, as opposed to "beyond a reasonable doubt" as in criminal cases.

What courts generally don't do, once a party puts on sufficient evidence in support of its case, is speculate, without evidence, about alternatives that hypothetically could have occurred.

So: To start off, the company will try to put on evidence from which reasonable people could conclude that the consumer did in fact click on "I agree." (That's known as a prima facie case.)

But once that happens, as a practical matter it's on the consumer to refute the company's showing.

Sure, the consumer could claim that his dog or his kid clicked on "I agree," or that he spilled his drink on the keyboard. But the court will pay no attention to that claim unless the consumer can put on evidence to that effect, for example by getting on the witness stand and testifying under oath (and penalty of perjury) that he personally saw it happen. And then the consumer will of course be subject to cross-examination by the company's counsel.

If their ONT and gateway are a single device it's not the BGW210. AT&T has been rolling out a newer gateway for over a year now.
I remember reading something about this back in the 2010s. I have several friends who were vegans and one telling me he was struggling with a decline in being able to remember small details like addresses and numbers.

With that I told him to start supplementing creatine monohydrate to see if it helped. Sure enough, it did. He is a whip smart coder so he was worried something worse was happening. He now eats eggs and fish

Unfortunately, I don't think the vegan diet is good long term because of this.
I’m more surprised the CPU is allowed to peak at 114°C at all.

x86 CPUs and GPUs usually have a recommended load temperature of ~85°C and start throttling heavily past ~100°C, with emergency shut-off at ~120°C

I know Apple has always preferred running MacBooks hot and silent instead of cool and loud, but are they using a different solder or PCB for the M-series?
Hard disagree on apple trees.

Every "Granny Smith" you've ever eaten is fruit from a cloned tree, cloned from the original Granny Smith tree which grew in the 19th century in New South Wales in Australia. This is because the fruit produced by apple trees change with each generation. If you want _that_ apple fruit, you need to clone it (via grafting).

I can therefore see why - if you believe that Newton was inspired by a falling apple - why you'd want that specific fruit to be available and therefore you'd graft a cutting and clone. If you didn't, that apple's taste, look and texture would be lost forever.
Sadly no and that is my rant about academia these days also.

I remember reading a primary study about this back in the 2010s. I didn't RTFA and they probably call upon the study I'm thinking of.
The government needs to have the same energy and urgency of response to these cyberattacks as if some group physically attacked a hospital. (Or a politician)

But is it meaningfully unique? Comparisons against other failed wave energy projects do not seem meaningful. Show us comparison relative to wind power in the same area in Cost per megawatt and average power generation conditions.

I wonder what a designed-for-SIMD rolling hash would look like. Like—just a trivial toy experiment—suppose hash ↤ (hash * input[j]) << 1. That's a (very crappy) rolling-hash function with a window size of sizeof(hash). It's also algebraically equivalent to hash ↤ hash * (input[j] << 1), which is a parallelizable horizontal-product over the input bytevector. This shows that you can keep the "rolling window" property, without the "evaluates serially from left-to-right" requirement: it's possible to rearrange things algebraically so that the "folding" step can be evaluated in any order.

Are there nontrivial constructions with this property?

Everything you say is true, but where the financial success comes from is leveraging this (well earned) reputation to support high, no negotiation, take it or leave it prices, and often mandatory financing. We'll see if the market continues to support fixed pricing and turning away cash buyers.

So two vandals in their 30s were arrested and remain on bail. In the UK, will we ever hear anything more about them? Do they remain anonymous even after they've been charged?

It's surprising to me this is being treated so lightly. A couple weeks ago when a Florida teenager was charged with a felony after doing burnouts on a crosswalk, UK papers seemed pretty happy to publish his face and name the very next morning [1]. I guess different rules when the crime occurs in a different country? Seems funny to me.

Hydrogen for power storage is hardly used in practice, so it is probably quite expensive. Overall, solar energy seems very expensive when you factor in storage cost. Germany has very high energy prices, likely related to switching off fission power plants and heavily investing in intermittent energy sources like wind and solar.
With drones being the new weapon of the day, tanks are going to go the way of the dodo. Shame because drone warfare is lame.

> I think you're missing the point: you can say this about any theory. At least ones that attempt to deal with something significant and difficult.

Hardly. In fact, just the opposite is true: You can say it about virtually no theories outside a niche within modern physics.

The great theories of 20th century physics were empirically validated almost immediately. Even their thought experiments were subjected to intense scrutiny and debate. Now those theories are fodder for engineers who tinker with material devices like MRI machines.

In other disciplines, e.g. biology or chemistry, it's effectively forbidden to work backwards from data and come up with a "solution" that fits but can't be validated in any way. Chemical space is vast; if you have a complex molecule, there are any number of ways retrosynthesis will work; finding one such way, without empirically validating it, is of near-zero value.

> I've often thought gravity makes sense, not as a fundamental force, but as an emergent metric, rooted in randomness (perhaps the informational content of matter, for which mass is, normally but not always, useful proxy?)

The randomness of what now?

How do you reconcile this with the frame-dragging effect? Namely, in that it shows that the distribution and movement of mass (not just the presence of mass/entropy) can influence the curvature of spacetime and thereby gravitational effects.

> I wonder if a "time" or "age" factor could be needed in revised calculations of gravity to account for the plausible way in which information increases over time

Information is degraded over time; the universe will eventually contain zero useful information content ("heat death") and will then be modellable as a homogeneous space subject to statistical fluctuation.
Given this hybrid strategy (which seems sensible for now given constraints on battery supply chains) I would love to see Toyota offer first-party upgrades to better battery technology (as they become more affordable), and adding plug-in capabilities for existing models with lower energy density batteries (NiMH). Dealers would love this too. IRA incentivizes should cover retrofit costs. This would have greater carbon mitigation in the short- to mid-term than a pure EV approach.

A proxy war is when you have two countries who are not otherwise affected by a particular war, sponsoring opposing sides for geopolitical advantage.

Syria was a proxy war. Ukraine is not. Invading a neighboring country is a direct threat to the EU’s security, as evidenced by the large number of Ukrainian refugees that the EU now has to support. Had Putin succeeded in installing a figurehead regime in Kyiv, what is to say he wouldn’t have started marching on Moldova as well? Europe has seen this before.

Declaring war is a bit passé nowadays anyway.
I think it's a recognition that the Royal Navy also has pilots and not just sailors.

I'm aware of how the AT&T bridge mode works, it makes no functional difference to my security argument. The only issues I've personally seen is overloading the NAT state table, largely from running multiple crypto wallets or multiple torrent clients with wide open connection settings.

You can get the 802.11x certificates off the older gateway for now older firmware versions, but newer hardware doesn't have the same exploits.
It seems like everything must be modified to make it news. The Air (like all the previous Airs including that Intel era short-lived Core M3 model) was always designed with burst capacity in mind, and midrange performance overall.

Edit: midrange being midrange web and productivity, not midrange gaming, midrange CAD, midrange 3D modelling or midrange video production. (but you could always do those for at bit.. or in bursts)

You buy it if you want to get something in the ecosystem, but don't need much, and that is okay. Not everything has to be maximum all the time.

America doesn't really agree with you; The Tesla model Y was the second-best selling car in the US in 2023, after the RAV4 and well ahead of the Camry.

I own a variety of cars, and do still have some ICE cars, but for almost every use case, I prefer my model Y. As to reliability, n=4 narrative, I've owned a Tesla of one sort or the other since 2018 or so, and two Nissan Leafs since 2015 and here's the full list of repairs and dealer visits I've needed: Tesla Model 3 Dual motor charge port won't auto close after open. Nissan Leaf Gen 1 window button needed replacing. That's it. By comparison my Toyota vans have had roughly ten service calls / dealer visits in the same period.

If you read through most reports on Tesla reliability, generally initial build quality is the main complaint. Electric cars are mechanically super simple, and this is a daily benefit for any driver of an EV.

To my mind the 'strict improvement' rule at this point needs to be doing a lot of work when you compare to a 1998 civic. Do you include smell, window seals, oil consumption, power, lane departure warnings, pre-braking in case of emergency, highway passing acceleration, ...?
ISTR someone saying that the most common words spoken prior to a breakthrough aren't "Eureka!" or "Aha!" but instead "That's strange..."
I think it's essentially, because Toyota is the best at hybrid technology that many people who want hybrids are only willing to purchase Toyotas. I don't think this is duplicatable by the auto industry as a whole.

I'm not going to buy something as complicated as a hybrid from General Motors, most American car companies or some European brand, when they can't even build very reliable combustion vehicles. Imagine what it would cost to repair such a vehicle from those manufacturers.

It's more about Toyota knowing their strengths and successfully delivering a lineup that honors those strengths than some strategy the other manufacturers are missing.

Personally when I consider buying a Prius Prime or a Model 3 for a similar price with a shorter lead time, I'm going to buy the Model 3 every time.
I think this is 100% correct, and very surprised the author of the article and/or study didn’t figure this out.

Here’s how you could (possibly) prove that.

Instead of the options being you get the money or not, the options become you win you pocket the money, you lose the money goes to a charity of your choice.

I think 100% the person would always choose the outcome with more money, regardless of the level of trust with the person giving the experiment.

That is, you completely remove trust from the equation.
Better at their primary purpose.

I don't prefer ICE to EV. I actually prefer electric vehicles. When Ford release an electric Transit with the range and payload of my diesel one, and when the cost of electricity at a rapid charger is comparable in the UK, I'll switch in a heartbeat. It'll be brilliant.
I agree completely. It doesn't even require you to believe you have the right answer, or that the experimenter knows this. All it has to be is some niggling feeling that there is some trickery going on here. Something along the lines of, "why are they contriving to make me choose and then immediately trying to 'make me' change my decision with no other information or incentives offered?" Then, in the next iterations when more money is offered, the suspicion changes to, "why are they trying to make me change my decision by offering me more money?"

If, as the researchers propose, people experience more regret by changing their decision with "no additional information," they will experience significantly more regret still if they feel as though they have been tricked into giving up on their instinctive choice.

I put no information in quotes because even though the article puts it this way, there actually is some additional information: that the researchers want participants to have the option to change their choice, but only to be aware of that after making their first choice. Although cryptic, this does give some additional information into the real nature of their experiment, and to a random study participant certainly could be suggestive of some trickery going on.
