Can recalibration help when the controller is connected to a Playstation? Does it store the calibration somehow in the controller? Or is this only useful on a PC?

I'd love to somehow restore my PS5 DualSense that's fallen victim to stick drift. I looked once in Steam's debug info and instead of the stick reading 0 at center it was reading about 20,000. Given the max is 32,767 I've lost 2/3 of the useful range, so maybe there's no fixing it with software.
Every month, economists expect the labor market to slow. Will it?
Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest Non-Destructive Teardown with CT Scans
If they can match the battery life, then I might switch back to a Linux laptop. I’m so sick of Apple’s anti-competitive, anti-consumer practices.
For me it would make it much more interesting

Right but the forum has been around for 15+ years and also aims for interestingness for the many users that are not you.
Oh I have. Those are wild.
Because it averages out. If it's a true coin flip, half the time you'll get 1 point and half you'll get 0. So it averages to an expected value of 0.5 points. 2 draws (at 0.2 points per draw) would only yield you 0.4 points. So if there's a good chance you'd draw twice anyway, it's a higher payout.
Another example of making it harder to produce one unit of economic output (a saw, in this case). When we make it harder to produce things, we will have less of them, or less of something else if we re-direct our efforts from something else.

It's death by a thousand cuts this way, as our overall economic productivity slows.

In the current world, people have a choice to purchase a saw that took more effort to produce, if they think that it's worth it for the additional safety it provides. This new law would eliminate that choice, and those who don't think it's worth it will have to purchase the high-effort saw or go without.
Dependency hell means having many dependencies that are related to each other in non-trivial ways, making it difficult to ensure a compatible set of versions is maintained.
As per the source given by GP (bschne). I bet the number you are seeing when you say "emissions would go significantly down" is excluding emissions produced externally because you would be correct if only domestically produced emissions were counted.

Domestic _energy_ production is just a fraction of the emissions footprint: Switzerland _literally_ has a 236% per capita CO2 equivalent consumption-based emissions when including trade and it is slowly rising.

It is larger than France (36%)

It is larger than Germany (22%)

It is larger than UK (48%)

It is larger than Namibia (146%)

It is larger than USA (11%)
This is correlated though. If someone has $100MM in investments, then it's probably producing eight figures a year in interest and dividends, which are "income". Nevermind, a person at this wealth level likely has a high-income job.

I personally treat all capital appreciation as income for the purposes of net worth tracking.
> The stock price will crash in a year.

Sounds like you have a /sure fire/ way to make a lot of money then. Unless, of course, your bloviating isn't based in reality... Let's just ignore the fact that Apple has been using ML for many years now and they almost always take a slower approach to new tech. This isn't odd for them at all. WWDC will be telling one way or the other but from what I can see now I don't feel like Apple can't catch up.
You don't have to refute the claims of an industry group. What you have to do is check their sources.

It also passes the smoke test. Who the heck is going to illegally discard a lead acid battery core, potentially risking hundreds of thousands of dollars of fines, when the alternative is collecting $20 from a recycler?

Hmm, well, imagine this turning up on HN! I attend 1,2-maybe-3 funerals every year because of this exact project, and while every one of these is very different, the experience is always humbling.

Most of the time, literally nobody will show up. So, you'll pay your respect to the deceased using a short speech that is based on the information provided (which is usually pretty scarce, like: "found abandoned, identified, but no next-of-kin responded") complemented with Google and your imagination, and that's about it.

Then, there are the occasions where one or two people will attend. These are usually the hardest: you have to make clear that you don't actually know the first thing about the deceased, other than what Google told you, and that might be ENTIRELY wrong, but still have to deliver a coherent eulogy. Poems work best for these situations, and sometimes talking to the visitors is quite revealing as well.

And then, there are surprises, like a room full of people turning up, and you being able to elicit stories from family and friends, and basically having a regular funeral. But I admit that happened once in like the past decade or so.

Anyway, I think it's important that nobody is left to their final resting place without witnesses, and I also find avoiding that is a good way to engage with your community...
So, cleaning up the air but poisoning the waters?
This seems related to a much-replicated result from the practice of "expressive writing," also referred to informally as the "writing cure." Broadly, you feel better about things after having written about them. Remarkably, even physical ailments seem to be affected.

> Anger suppression is important in our daily life, as its failure can sometimes lead to the breaking down of relationships in families. Thus, effective strategies to suppress or neutralise anger have been examined

This attitude is a problem in our society. Anger ends up being destructive because we think we have to suppress it or neutralize it. This just increases its strength over time until it explodes out violently. I doubt the strategy in the paper is any more than a temporary suppression of the emotion.

We need to recognize that anger is a valid emotion just like any other. Anger becomes dangerous because we demonize it without trying to understand it, which just gives it strength in the long run.
We wouldn't need lawyers if all the rules could be expressed as "be ethical".

"I noticed that many repair technicians were using my scripts to recalibrate controllers, which significantly reduced repair times and costs. However, many of them were also having a tough time setting up the environment to run the scripts: Python, libusb, Windows drivers, and all that complicated stuff: the user experience was completely off.

This led me to the idea of creating a multiplatform web UI that could simplify everything. I developed a prototype and shared the link on a Facebook group for repair technicians, where it was warmly (..really warmly!) received."

That's so wholesome. Other people would have seen their software being used and decided they should be turning a profit from it.

If you get a modern wireless keyboard with 2.4 GHz wireless and use that instead of blutooth, the latency can be great - like you saw.

Blutooth is still crap though, avoid that if you care about latency. Or reliable connections.

Also be aware that despite being able, not all keyboards poll at 1KHz. My old wired keyboard polled at 66 Hz.

My current wireless keyboard has a single-key latency around the 1.7 ms range. Better than many wired ones!

Show HN: We built PriceLevel to find out what companies pay for SaaS
Hey HN! Christine and Steven here. As a PM and engineer, we’ve both evaluated and purchased a lot of software. One of the biggest frustrations was figuring out how much it would cost us without having to go through the sales process. When we did have a quote, we had no idea if we were getting a good deal or ripped off.

We built a site where you can see what other companies are actually paying for SaaS and enterprise software. Buyers contribute prices via quotes, pricing proposals, and other documentation to ensure quality.

We unlocked Talkdesk for Show HN users so that you can use the product without needing to sign in or upgrade. Check it out at https://www.pricelevel.com/showhn. Would love to hear any feedback, thank you!
So many comments here focused on the writing component. So few on the letting go component.
Imagine: A blockbuster movie which built entirely using Gen-AI
Hi there, I was one of the editors on this piece, and I am an Indian so I completely understand your remark on the use of the word tuk-tuk. But there's a reason we used it in just one place in the story — RestofWorld has a global audience and in many parts of the world our readers don't really understand what a "rickshaw" or "3-wheeler" is. So we made this choice for their benefit. Hope that provides you some context... and, well, also... I am alive :)
The trade off is either speed or safety - often both. Light EVs tend to still go too fast for safe operation - they are still heavy and fast enough to kill a lot of people. Heavy cars use a lot of that extra weight to make them safer for those inside.

There are so, so many. Even traffic tickets are in this category. If we think it's a good idea to enforce speed laws, we should be willing to pay for that (the officers) directly as part of the police budget paid exclusively from the gov't general budget. If a fine is a good enforcement mechanism, okay - but then just refund that directly to taxpayers. Or use a difference enforcement mechanism like holding the driver by the side of the road for an inconvenient period of time.
Sounds like a very specific example. But I'm still unconvinced - what will make this particular UI slow using Qt? The camera view? My Qt note-taking app is faster and more responsive than native apps like Apple Notes and best-in-class Bike Outliner. Both in loading speed (4x) and resizing (with word-wrapping) of a large text file (War and Peace).

In other words a completely unique traffic management solution is hard for people who have never encountered it before.

Sounds like the real problem is a lack of familiarity than anything inherent to the design.
> Moro showed in a series of experiments that humans have difficulty learning non-hierarchical languages and use different parts of the brain to do so, which is highly suggestive that language is specialized.

The cortex is built for hierarchical processing, because that's what's needed to model the world we live in. Physical objects are localized and have hierarchical detail, and larger visual scenes are the same. The kind of sequential (temporal) patterns relevant to us are also hierarchical, whether in visual, auditory or other domains.

The type of connectionist architecture needed to recognize hierarchical patterns is a layered one where the receptive field and hierarchical level of abstraction grows as you ascend the layers. In our brain those layers come from different patches of our cortical sheet being connected. This is the reason that neural network architectures like CNNs and transformers also work to recognize hierarchical patterns in visual and temporal domains - because they both also uses these layered architectures, which is all that is needed.

The reason why the function of damaged brain areas can't always be taken over by other areas is largely due to plasticity. Our brain peaks in it's ability to form new synapses in the first few years of life. If you haven't learned language by age of 3, then you will never be able to learn more than a crude type of pidgin language, depsite all your "language areas" being intact. The same would be true of different part of you brain trying to learn language as an adult - the plasticity is no longer there.
If we're comparing to the 3-wheel design common in India, I'm not sure about that actually. I saw a video recently that showed how cars with a lower front profile do much less damage in collisions with pedestrians (because the pedestrians roll over the top I guess) compared to higher front profiles (which ensure the pedestrian takes the full force of the impact or even gets knocked in front of the vehicle and then run over)

The 3-wheel design wouldn't allow for pedestrians in collisions "rolling over the top" but perhaps it's narrow enough that they could be knocked off to the side more easily?

At the very least, being run over by one is probably much less dangerous than being run over by a larger car closer to the typical size in the western world.
Looks very useful. I'm not aware of any open source alternative (although I could just be ignorant here!)
That’s not a hypothetical, is it? Given Moore’s Law, just look back a decade or so and you’ll get a sense of what software development was like when CPU speeds were 20x slower. And if you take it even further, looking back six decades or so, you’ll see things like the Story of Mel that would never happen in software development today.

> you can even create something akin to a macro by assigning multiple actions to the same key, so that a single keypress registers a different action

That's cool, so would this allow for the keys to finally feel fully analogue like, say, a Volume wheel? So that you could change volume more if you press a key further? How many "steps" would be needed for that?

If the funds come out of the general fund, but we already can't afford existing government spending to the tune of trillions per year, wouldn't the project be refunded before it even gets started?

The idea of adding more and more spending to an already broken budget is nothing new, but its also extremely confusing to me. Why bother with a budget when we just borrow/print our way out of any budgetary limits we don't like?

yeah on the whole (data eng by day -- data eng contractor by night) using both AWS and GCP I much prefer GCP to AWS. I find it far more simple to use, has sane defaults, a UI that isn't harmful to users doing clickops, etc.

I use LogQL a fair amount. Often times even just negative filtering is quite useful.

I do a fair amount of tracking down of issues with LogQL. Looking for logs specific to a customer support ticket. Filtering for logs by a traceId for distributed traces.

> I read once that a huge issue with US metro is our over the top strength requirements. I wonder if that is still true. It is clear that Europe/basically anywhere has far more expertise and success in this than we do.

No, our trains are just waaay shorter - around 740-835 meters and a maximum weight of 2.200 tons [1].

US trains however? 3.6 km regular length limit [2], with the record being held by a 6.5km long and 48.100 tons weight. Even just at shunting, the forces in play are so much larger than here in Europe.

This smells like an offhand/joke comment that you're taking as fact. Can you link me to a single instance of NYT/WaPo basing a story off of unverified Twitter posts? I read a lot of news, including NYT, and I've never seen this... I've seen them referencing Twitter posts, but not basing a story solely off of them as some kind of sole source. (But of course, it's not like any individual human being could read even 1% of the NYT's total output...)

Often it is simply impossible to do anything constructive with anger. So techniques like the one in the article are useful, it's not a dismissal of anger as a valid emotion. The goal is to reduce redirected aggression.
Or it’s two separate bugs that were introduced at wildly different times (which the article mentions; the first bug was there pre-5.5.5 but useless on its own).

It’s quite a stretch to say that an engineer designed a multi-year project to surreptitiously break TLS so third party stores could be used without CFW (which is also pretty trivial to do on the WiiU).
I really like Beeper, and congrats to them for getting acquired, but my first reaction is "aw damn how long until the parts I love about Beeper get incredible journey'd away".

The new android app is really good, the desktop app has always been a step up from other Element apps I've used (it is a distant fork, these days), I don't have iMessage, but it works great with Matrix and Signal and WhatsApp a ton of other "rarely used" apps I have.

Google's Chrome antitrust paradox
An underrated aspect of the SupCom engine was that it natively supported multiple monitors, with independently controllable cameras on each one so you could keep an eye on any two parts of the map, or just zoom the second one all the way out to get a giant minimap. That's something you never see today even though it would be easier to pull off with modern graphics APIs (IIRC SupCom actually runs two copies of the game simultaneously, driving one monitor each, to get around DirectX limitations of the time).
