Definitely people can absorb enough RF to block WiFi.

I hit this in a hotel, back when I was doing steampunk conventions. Antique Teletype machines put into brass and glass cases, getting text messages over the Internet. (Early versions of this used Google Voice to read SMS; later versions used Twilio.) The hotel lobby had WiFi, but the function room we were in did not. I'd tested in advance, and was able to get a good WiFi connection with the room empty. But once it filled up with people, we couldn't get through. Had to run out to Fry's and buy a WiFi booster.
Would you happen to have any good resources explaining how such a setup could be configured?
> It’s got me suspicious of build-time dependency we have in an open source tool, where the dependency goes out of its way to prefer xz and we even discovered that it installs xz on the host machine if it isn’t already installed — as a convenience. Kinda weird because it didn’t do that for any other dependencies.

Have you considered reaching out to the maintainers of that project and (politely) asking them to explain? In lieu of recent events I don't think anyone would blame you, in fact you might even suggest they explain such an oddly specific side effect in a README or such.

I think even more difficult than making it affordable will be making it reliable. OK-Robot says it has has a 1/3 failure rate, and takes ~20x as long as a human, at which point you might as well do the task yourself. I'd want the error rate and speed improved by an order of magnitude before I'd consider it anything other than a fun novelty.
I respect a lot of political critique of Job Stewart and his ability to communicate to the masses in simpler ways. But, I felt this was way off the mark. It loses the logic in order to bring out the comedic appeal.

Sure, there are downsides to a new technology that improves productivity. But, it is a tool after all. What are we supposed to do? Not research anything new because it might put somebody off their job? Keep mining coal because the coal miner might lose their job? Keep running ICE because the workers at an ICE factory might lose their job?

There is always a cost to progress. It is better to talk about managing the progress (regulate that all AI needs to be open to analysis, publish their weights etc, tackle reproducibility of results etc.) instead of dumb fear mongering. Even Job Stewart cannot stop LLMs from being improved.

It's more like trying to ban web or emails in one country because somebody can create harmful website or send harmful emails.

Sooner or later we will have to look at information through AI lenses. Before seeing anything it'll go through filtering and transformation to weed out spam, misinformation and do fact checks etc.

Depends on the language. On the JVM you are fine. With Javascript, doing math on big numbers is probably going to end in tears unless you know what you are doing. Either way, have some tests for this and make sure your code is doing what you expect.

Encoding numbers as string because you are using a language and parser that can't deal with numbers properly (even 64 bit doubles), is a bit of a hack. Basically the rest of the world giving up because Javascript can't get its shit together is not a great plan.
thanks! it’s incredibly fun and challenging. would be hard to stop.
I imagine it is strongly affected by whether the pile is already decomposed into individual bricks or not.

My impression is that the fastest/easiest way to do it would be putting all the pieces inside hopper with the selector at the bottom. Perhaps using compressed air to push the falling pieces into different containers as they fall. I believe there’s already something like that in produce factories, separating vegetables by state/size.
This is a clever move. If she gets arrested and charged for saying any of this it will make an excellent test case, with an expert legal team instructed for her defence.

If not, and other feminist women are charged under these laws for expressing the same views, then this raises the issue of selective enforcement and unfair application of the law.

Ex-FAANG. I've spent my recent career leading engineering teams of 10+ to ship world class products. Expertise in managing product timelines, overseeing architectural design/implementation, & keeping companies ahead of their competition. As an IC, I love to dig deep into technical problems, ship products with full autonomy/ownership, and make products look beautiful (see some old work at www.beaver.digital).

I have been getting wonderful offers from great companies but am still on the job market because I suffer from an unfortunate health condition that makes my sleep rather erratic. My working efficiency is still exceptional, energy levels are great, and my output is the best it’s ever been, but I sometimes start work as late as 11am pst which is unacceptable for most companies. Anyways, if this won’t be a problem for your team I’m happy to hear from you. I’ll be happy to make accommodations for you if you’re willing to make this one for me.

I'm excited to hear from you! :)

That's kind of a catch-22, right? They'd explain with a seemingly good answer if they did it for actual reasons. They'll still explain with a seemingly good answer if they did it for nefarious reasons.

I don't have a good answer to this except to monitor this dependency and its changes.
You can also just not play it.
Not really, Herb Sutter tries to sell cpp2 as "Typescript for C++", or "Kotlin for C++", while ignoring that Typescript doesn't add anything to JavaScript besides types, they did some mistakes on the early days not following up on this, but backtracked and now Typescript is basically a linter/transpiler.

Whereas while Kotlin used the Java ecosystem to bootstrap itself, it is clear that by now JetBrains rather wants to build their own Kotlin ecosystem, just like C++ and Objective-C took their own path after being plain translators into C.

Körner, The Pleasures of Counting (1996)

> † Social Darwinism applies the Darwinian doctrine of the survival of the fittest to human society. Rich social Darwinists take wealth as the best indication of fitness to survive, academic social Darwinists take intellectual achievements as the best indication and so on. They are often haunted by the fear that the unfit do not understand this and may outbreed the fit.

The hardware appliance for Oracle was Itanium on HP-UX. Oracle pushing it as recommended platform until their Sun acquisition is pretty much what kept it afloat after introduction - if the billing system used Oracle RAC as backend, it might be the reason for using Superdome.

From my perspective, Alpha had quite wide user base, not as much as Sun which seemed to have figured desktop unix sales way better than everyone else. I know some segments tended to buy Digital because if you knew what you wanted, Digital would let you simply order it - disappearance of that approach, forcing everyone to go through a sales rep, has been anecdotally pointed to me as why a bunch of places migrated post Compaq acquisition.
> Denuvo is also an exception to piracy as a service problem being solved because it is widely hated even by non-pirates.

Maybe in an abstract Reddit community kind of way. For paying end users I doubt Denuvo comes up much. It works behind the scenes and is pretty reliable.
Wow nice, I would be interested in one of those (preferably the 1.33) if you’d at all be willing to sell directly (and dependent on asking price). I’m in Vancouver BC, Canada.
For me the single best feature is pet detection in photos, 100% useless feature that nonetheless makes me happy (though I'm not sure how well it deals with lots of similar looking dogs - i.e. if you have a bunch of near identical dogs of the same breed+colour)
Free University is a perfectly fine translation, just not much used because of the high chance of misunderstanding. The "free" does stand for free as in freedom, just a different kind of freedom than you'd think of. The Vrije Universiteit was founded as a Reformed protestant christian university, to be free from state control. By the time Tanenbaum worked there, the religious character was much watered down, and barely noticeable in the computer science department.
ASIC just means it's an application specific IC (= chip), meaning it's fabbed for that specific product (like in this case the Raspberry Pi). A functional block like a JPEG codec contained therein is not an ASIC. Quoth wikipedia:

"Modern ASICs often include entire microprocessors, memory blocks including ROM, RAM, EEPROM, flash memory and other large building blocks. Such an ASIC is often termed a SoC (system-on-chip)."

What you're describing in the JPEG codec might be termed a fixed function IP block in semiconductor design terminology.
> On a neutral reading, asking banks to change their practices is a bit like asking Kodak to make digital cameras. Banks are wired for issue of loans using their existing risk analysis tools. Adopting to a new world in which they must onboard new tools to assess climate risk is like asking Nokia to make a good smartphone.

I don't understand this whole thing. Kodak pioneered digital cameras. Nokia made several good smartphones.

Show HN: Docfd: TUI multiline fuzzy document finder
Think interactive grep for text files, PDFs, DOCXs, etc, but word/token based instead of regex and line based, so you can search across lines easily.

Docfd aims to provide good UX via integration with common text editors and PDF viewers, so you can jump directly to a search result with a single key press.

---

I originally wrote this tool to help me dig through text/markdown notes, since very often I want to search for a phrase of sorts that may span across multiple lines, but constructing the corresponding multiline regex is a bit painful (especially painful if I want to account for fuzziness), and I still have to guess the ordering of the words. Furthermore, I'd still have to sift through all the results, even the irrelevant ones.

fzf's core is kinda there for some cases, but I want the fuzziness to be constrained around each individual word, i.e. each word matching some other word of +/- N edit distance, instead of this whole line matching other whole line +/- N edit distance or other metric. And fzf also doesn't do multiline as far as I can tell (or I'm being silly).

Since nothing quite fit my taste, I decided to make something with a relatively straightforward UI/UX (I gave up on many tools purely because I cannot be bothered to remember yet another set of keybindings), ranks all the results for me using a "pretty alright" heuristic, and allows me to open the file to the search results easily.

Support for PDF (via pdftotext) and DOCX etc (via pandoc) were added later on based on suggestions I got from Reddit users despite my initial reluctance. But after eating my own dog food for a while I have to say they were very right.
Pretty neat! As a fellow motor controller designer, I worry you're wasting time reinventing the wheel in that regard, but I really like your project, I also want a farming robot.

There are a couple of arms commonly used in research around the $10k mark, namely the Franka Emika and UFACTORY xArm 6.

The ALOHA project uses the ViperX 300 6DoF, which is around $6500 but uses higher quality dynamixels with aluminum parts and bills itself as "research grade". I have one of these and I'd say it's expensive for what you get, but still cheaper than the "factory grade" robots. I will need a bimanual setup eventually and I'm probably going to get either an Emika or xArm since I'm already hitting the weight limits of the ViperX.
Oh look someone has already done something like that:

There sure is a lot of very ineffective/broken non-Denuvo DRM out there, but companies continue to include that too.

Hardware acceleration with unikernels could be tricky.

Including acceleration libraries & device drivers could severely impact the size and complexity of the resulting binary image. API remoting though could be something.

disclaimer: We're building a solution based on API remoting, and we have an example integration with Unikraft, the unikernel tech that kraftcloud is based on.
Nah, the lesson is broader than that, cause numbers as IDs have a whole bunch of problems and this is just one of them. Eg Twitter has incrementing number IDs and back when they had this whole ecosystem of 3rd party twitter apps (that they have since ruined), half the apps failed when the IDs became too large to fit into a 32-bit int.

If it looks like a number, and it quacks like a number, sooner or later people are going to treat it like a number.
> With today’s announcement, TikTok is seeking to further present itself as an educational hub for the millions of young users on its app as a way to counter criticisms from lawmakers around the world

This is ridiculous. Tiktok will not magically become an edtech platform by filtering short videos as this so-called "STEM-related content" is what really? 20 second clips about rocket launches or "math tricks"? What can you learn from this? Nothing.
I can help you in some way because I have experimented with blocking a lot of distracting sites for my own internet de-addiction journey.

You can set up NextDNS or Adguard DNS to block YouTube at the router, device, or browser level. Really a great service, and free up to 300k network queries per month. There is a single toggle for YouTube in the Parental Controls section of both of these public DNS services to block all related domains of YouTube on the website as well as mobile apps. They also allow custom user rules that support wildcards, and you can specify all second-level domains related to YouTube to block them. I can list some of them off the top of my head:

```

youtube.com

youtu.be

googlevideo.com

ytimg.com

youtubekids.com

youtube-nocookie.com

```

You can also edit the hosts file on your desktop (or on a rooted Android phone, if you've got one).

Currently, this is what I use, and it does a decent job of blocking YouTube on my desktop.

There is a nifty browser extension called [Unhook](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/unhook-hide-youtube...) that can remove lots of addictive elements from the YouTube.com website like recommendations, shorts, homepage feed, likes, comments, subscription feed etc., and allows you to only interact with bare minimum UI consisting just videos. It's highly customizable and you can turn on or off the options according to your needs.

On Android you can use this FOSS app called [NewPipe](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/) to consume YouTube videos without the official app and without needing your Google Account. There is no feed here and you can turn off video recommendations and comments in it if you want.
I don't think there is any "sensible limit" which is big enough for everyone's needs, but low enough you won't blow out memory.

An 8 billion digit number is 2.5G? (Did I do my maths right?) All I need to do is shove 1,000 of those in a JSON array, and I'll cause an out-of-memory anyway.

On the other hand, any limit low enough that I can't blow up memory by making an array of 100K or so is going to be too low for some people (including me, I often make numbers of low-million numbers of digits).

Providing some method of putting a limit on seems sensible, but maybe just make a LimitedBigDecimal type, so then through the whole program there is a limit on how much memory BigDecimals can take up? (I haven't looked at the library in detail, sorry).
There's also the 5-dof version that I've seriously considered buying at one point, but it's really hard to tell if the ROS 2 integration is any good: https://www.waveshare.com/product/robotics/roarm-m1.htm

A real shame there isn't a 6-dof one, since that's what you'd really need to grasp anything properly in the radius around the arm.
Try to call Kotlin co-routines directly from Java to see how it goes.

Or call Java features from Kotlin, that aren't available on Android.
UUIDs are great for this. It’s really just a random 128-bit integer, which makes comparisons about as fast as variable-length integers on modern hardware. And they decode to strings which means no application code or API end-user code is going to assume it’s a number.
CBL (not sure about Mariner specifically) had builds targeting hardware, AFAIK.

I recall ~2016 that Azure was running their own Linux images on various parts of the gear, like "Smart NICs" in VM hosts that cooperated with SDN driver in Hyper-V.
