I think there is value in having core android team that focused on AOSP separate from the product oriented pixel or apps teams.

And yes, in the end everyone end up using GMS (besides those who are banned, ie. Huawei). But still, it's better to have a separation that is imperfect, vs not having one at all
Man, if I was training an AI, I’d just create a dataset of Hacker News pet problems just to con everyone into thinking it’s somehow better at reasoning.
This, ether, and dark matter. The equations don’t agree with observations so we invent a thing we have not observed to explain it. I wish it would be explained like this in popular science, went to a planetarium and they presented dark matter as absolute fact.
To alleviate the issue with most applications dumping their files in your home directory, i found xdg-ninja[0] to be helpful.

In short, it scans all your programs and determines if you can configure it to respect the xdg standards. It doesn't work for everything, but most applications do seem to have such an option.

Also maybe because of the persistent lies that you see in pictures and films. Do an image search for "coding team" or something. Nobody ever shows the scruffy guys in dark rooms struggling away at a difficult task for hours on end.

At some point, labelling gatekeepers comes down to how many "gatekeepers" are there resources to go after.

Naming all potential gatekeepers would only set the EU up to look capricious when it still only had enough resources to go after its highest priority targets.

So there will never be an obvious rational line of who is in or out. Just the sued and unsued.

> 2) Almost, Chinchilla concerns itself with minimizing cost(training) + cost(inference).

Where are you getting that from? As far as I can tell, the Chinchilla paper is purely about getting the highest quality from a fixed training budget. Inference is only mentioned a couple of times in passing as a side effect of smaller models, not as the goal nor as an input to the formula. (And just to be clear: the Chinchilla paper was arguing for smaller models trained for longer, while you seem to be saying that they were arguing for larger models since the inference cost is insignificant.)

> I believe in one of the examples they pointed out that even the whole internet inferring with a model for years was still only 20% of the cost of training that model.

I do not see any such example in the paper
If something is in imagination, where exactly does it exist? What plane and what dimension? Where is it situated and what's the extent of it?

"It's all in your head" might be one answer but that's the question, what plane or dimension is it? and why do we not see it anywhere externally?

Show HN: A Tool to Discover Hidden Sol in Your Wallet
I've been learning about Solana (SOL) and during this process, I've built a service called 4lamports. It's a simple tool that helps you find hidden SOL in your own wallet (Solflare, Phantom) by reclaiming the rental fee charged by Solana for 0 balance token accounts and transferred NFTs. The code is open-sourced and you can check it to ensure there is no malicious line before trying it. I hope you find it useful and I'm very open to new ideas and feedback.
Notice that Apple deploys compliance in China, as opposed to the malicious compliance they use in the EU or US.

Apple is quite obedient in China.

That's because it doesn't want its executives in China to be disappeared, or denied an exit visa, or simply arrested arbitrarily.
What's the meaning of life though, and why is it love?
If I remember correctly there is a bit of difference between explicit `extern "rust"` and no explicit calling convention but I'm not so sure.

Anyway at least when not using explicit rust representation Rust doesn't even guarantee that the layout of a struct is the same for two repeated build _with the same compiler and code_. That is very intentionally and I think there is no intend to change that "in general" (but various subsets might be standarized, like `Option<&T> where T: Sized` mapping `None` to a null pointer allowing you to use it in C-FFI is already a de facto standard). Which as far as I remember is where explicit extern rust comes in to make sure that we can have a prebuild libstd, it still can change with _any_ compiler version including patch versions. E.g. a hypothetical 1.100 and 1.100.1 might not have the same unstable rust calling convention.
The problem is that “serious laws” in China are unacceptable in the west. You can be in serious trouble for talking about Winnie the Pooh, think about that. That’s just one example.
>why should Western countries allow Chinese companies access to our markets when China offers absolutely zero reciprocity?

Money.

China knows that the only thing the west (and arguably humanity) ultimately cares about is wealth, and so China's playing that game far better than anyone else. We are literally funding our own demise, hoisting our own petards, hitching our own nooses.

I find the coming Pax Sino era terrifying and how well they play the world like a flute astonishing.
Giving empty sugar calories to babies (regardless of the fact that infant malnutrition is more prevalent in these countries) is bad actually.

I have no doubt that if this protest is staged for some LGBTQ2S+/trans woman/PoC/BLM/racial issues - the line/paragraph above would not be included.
If the alternative is having to pay fines or leaving the market, why shouldn't Apple obey? It wants access to the market.
> It is, when that very law itself is unethical.

Great, so Apple should pull out of the US due to the TikTok ban.

> If so, then you should stand with companies that try to promote those rights, rather than those who help remove those rights at the expense of turning a profit.

Which mobile phone manufacturer am I going to do that by using. Samsung might not sell phones in China, but they've got the exploding batteries, photoshopped camera images, throttling of third party apps. Huawei and Xiaomi _are_ chinese, Motorola have consistently been in support of oppressive regimes, Google are in the midst of bad press for their handling of the protest this week.

My bank and workplace all but require a modern iOS or Android device to participate, and this is not a hill I'm going to die on against multiple bilino dollar companies.
This article is pretty well written, gives lots of good examples, is concise, links to highly useful resources and introduces the complexity around distinctions between flags, settings, features etc.

I think we can safely conclude that you have no source for your original claim of spying and are just resorting to throwing mud when people request evidence for your false claims. If you're trying to convince anyone, I would highly recommend more evidence and less name-calling and accusations of brainwashing. Have the day you deserve.

> The average [of iperf3] across multiple tests was about 7.5 Gbps.

> Ntttcp averaged about 12.75 Gbps […] Ntttcp does something called pre-posting receives, which is unique to this tool.

This is TCP we’re talking about, and with large enough buffer—per-syscall (128k on my iperf3 by default - that’s good) you should be able to saturate even a thick line, provided auto-tuning is enabled correctly. But just add -P 16 to parallelize to be sure it’s not the TCP stack, instead? Did they even try a workaround, before suggesting an extremely limited and proprietary tool that nobody is familiar with? Or better yet, help the project out by contributing native code if the open source community is so bad at windows? At the very least, make a wire-compatible version.

Iperf is a very boring and wonderful tool that just works. Importantly, it’s a networking tool, which means you need interop across different systems. Any networking tool that’s single-platform is dead in the water, as far as I’m concerned.

Edit: To be fair, I see they have a Linux version, how generous. Last updated in 2022 and many open issues though.
Worrisome, but good that it got caught before anyone got into an accident. The issue shouldn't be present in all trucks, but better to recall all of them to be safe.

BTW: What happens if you fully press both the acceleration and brake pedals? I would hope for the brakes to be more powerful and stop the car, is that the case?
As a Linux (and Mac) user, I had the same feelings for a long time, until I joined a large corporation that heavily relies on Microsoft stuff.

So just speaking as a user: Outlook is the crappiest email client on the planet, but it’s the best calendar I have seen so far. I haven’t been able to replicate with OSS, what I experience now in this corporate environment. Everything just works and is well integrated. I can easily see availabilities of co-workers before inviting them to meetings. I can easily share certain aspects of my own calendar with some or all co-workers (only availability, titles, full event content). I can hand my calendar over to be managed by someone else and it will be clear that I did so (A invited you on behalf of B).

All these things just work.

I applaud the work to start a good OSS calendar implementation, but what I‘m actually missing is a corresponding OSS server side that does all these things I‘ve seen in the enterprise.
Having founded a database company that IPO'd (Couchbase) and seeing the kinds of customer relationships Supabase is making, an IPO seems a reasonable outcome.

Doesn't matter if they're so fast they can't lose on any single trade, there's always a risk of shooting themselves in the foot.

It’s not only that, but how they don’t observe civil liberties for their own pop, don’t tolerate their own dissidents, etc. They are harsh on their own civilians.

I don't see how Google could threaten Samsung while at the same time not antagonizing every other OEM out there.

And even if they went for "all out war" I still don't think it would be that one-sided.
More of the same, that's the solution right? When what you're doing isn't working. Brilliant.
While I'm sure Apple worries about the safety of their executives - the main reason is probably they just want to keep the access to the Chinese market. As factories move away from China, the government has less and less reasons to let them eat their local mobile market share.
Even without that it seems a bit dubious to not have any other mechanism to keep the pad and pedal together. So even without the soap this could be a problem, just maybe would have taken a bit longer until it appeared.

Since the accelerator is drive by wire, pushing both pedals disables the accelerator, and produces a warning chime and alert message on the screen.

The brakes do not have to be stronger, it’s handled in software.

If the accelerator is pinned down, letting up on the brake will cause the car to start accelerating again. So you have to keep on the brake and then put the car in park. Pressing the accelerator while in park does nothing.
This is a great start, but I’d recommend three more improvements:

- Follow this guide to disable all durability settings. We don’t care if the DB can recover from a crash, since it’s only test data: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/non-durability.html (I wouldn’t worry about unclogged tables, personally)

- Set wal_level=minimal, which requires max_wal_senders=0. This reduces the amount of data written to [mem]disk in the first place.

- The big one: create a volume in /var/run/postgresql/ and share it with your application so that you can connect over the Unix domain socket rather than TCP. This is substantially faster, especially when you create new connections per test (or per thread).
If I was to learn a larger lesson from experiencing acquiring this major detail about the Texas Revolution myself, it might be that history is much more complicated than we are taught.

Another huge example for me is that even though we escaped the communist-bloc when I was a kid, where my mom had to de-program me from preschool lessons about Lenin...

I still bought into the whole "WWII was won with American industry, and Russian blood" story. Meanwhile, a major missing fact in that story is that Stalin and Hitler started WWII together, as allies. A few days after this pact was signed, Poland was invaded from both East and West. It is very arguable that without this agreement, even nutjob Hitler would not have tried to invade all of Europe. Now that I know that, it makes a lot more sense.

Remember what you like. The facts are that sound over landlines was not crisp, and in fact was a train wreck.

It's particularly ridiculous that you're complaining about digital lines having a low frequency range.

They are not even sold in a lot of the EU and they barely market the phones. Kinda hard for there to be consumer demand if you cannot even buy it.
> Where?

Given previous experience with people who years into this still want to be served everything on a silver plate, entering any discussion with you will be futile. You responded solely for the dompamin your brain gives you when you trample onto people that an "authority" presented you as outsiders to your tribe. No factual argument will convince you.

Even with all the easily verifiable information in this thread alone you did not make the effort to check for yourself, and are so convinced of your position that you aren't even embarrassed about demonstrating your ignorance.

It is incredibly easy to find by now. In mid 2021 you had to search, think about and analyze the excess mortality stats yourself to see the obvious signal, now it's being discussed widely. But you will never start this journey on your own out of fear your will be expelled from your perceived tribe.
Literally a handful of cases of this happening throughout history, barring the space shuttle disasters, which were a somewhat different situation.

This incident makes ~15 cases of debris striking people or property since the start of the space age. In most of those the debris was found either washed up on shore or landed in some wide, open area like a farm, with only 4 of those incidents involving actual hits on humans/animals, 7 humans in total (5 sailors injured in one incident, a woman tapped on the shoulder, a boy getting hit in the head and toe, and a sheep being killed).

Re: backups

I had an experience where I attempted to install a new Mac from a Time Machine backup and my Mac couldn't see anything on the Time Machine backup.

Luckily I had backblaze set up but it took a loooong time to get a few hundred gig restored.

Now I have Time Machine, BackBlaze and iCloud backups. Every now and then I dump everything to a .tgz on S3

No, that's a CYA explanation. A proper fault-tolerant design would prevent a minor process failure like this from having such a cascading impact.

The twitter videos showed the pedal is an A-shaped design, built so the decorative steel veneer slides up and down to attach to the pedal body. The pedal jamming happens when this veneer detaches and slides up, locking the half-attached pedal against the footboard.

Putting aside the whole discussion about cheaping out on pedal materials and going with a pretty veneer, a fault-tolerant design would assume eventually the veneer could come loose, and the attachment path would be built in a way that a pedal jam would be physically impossible.

This is a royal fuckup on prioritizing potemkin styling on the one of the few parts of a car you don't fuck around with.

No idea how accurate this is, but according to https://www.businessofapps.com/data/spotify-statistics/ in 2023 Spotify had €13.2B revenue globally, and 40.5% users in Europe. Assuming that revenue is spread equally (which is a big assumption) that means that Spotify’s revenue in the EU in 2023 was €5.3B.
