Yes, you can use the NOAA forecast site which will show the "oval" and has 24 hour/30min predictions. Or Space Weather Live has some location forecasts. Generally if you don't live at a high latitude you need a very strong display to see anything. There's usually a bit of warning for storms like this, as various solar observation satellites can beam back images of the CME faster than the solar wind takes to get here.

London's history-making beavers are adapting to life in the capital
Am I understanding the article correctly that it's for new installs only?

Also is "on by default" the right wording for something that needs a registry change to turn off? That just seems like it's forced with a workaround that they'll remove at some point.

Last point, does that mean that windows is going to take a massive speed penalty going forward since they also default to their slow software encryption over hardware encryption?

Man this kinda blows. I'm hoping that W12 will have all this Vista-esk transition crap sorted out by the time it launches.
This one was visible all the way to at lest San Antonio, Texas and the Florida Keys. I won't be surprised to see photos from Mexico. Nice show.
I wonder if this rant would've not existed if the Thread website said 'costs 7500$/yr to use' on the front page.

To me, the issue isn't that someone wants people to pay to use their products, it's that they make you work to find out.

There really ought to be price transparency for everything, mandated by governments. I'm a dreamer, maaan.
The court decided the opposite--that APIs are copyrightable. However, the Supreme Court ruled that Google's usage was fair use, so I would agree that Google mostly won. The Supreme Court didn't consider whether APIs are copyrightable (the lower court ruled that) because Google would win regardless because it was fair use.

So I'm not sure it matters much whether APIs are copyrightable when what Google did was ruled fair use. I'd prefer if the courts ruled APIs weren't copyrightable, but I think it was still a good result because doing what Google did probably covers about any use case anyway.
This sounds like debian-family things.

Let’s hope the result is that the 2030s are known as the decade when consumers, users of apps, figured out it was worth paying for software from honest developers or companies, rather than getting it for free temporarily and then getting their data used in unexpected ways, enshittification, etc.
Shortcuts is trash but Automator was and still is amazing.
What software are you using for local NN generation of paintings? Even so, the training cost of that NN is significant.

The general point is valid though - for example, a computer is much more efficient at finding primes, or encrypting data, than humans.
> you had a much narrower focus of acceptable work and topics, with the result that artists were all engaged with basically the same art forms and the same topics, across the entirety of the artistic community. For example, both da Vinci and Raphael were painting Madonnas

Mightn't this have to do with the fact that most paintings back then were commissioned by rich clients, who were probably competing with each other in some way? "Aha, my painting of Madonna is better than yours!" sort of thing

(I know nothing about art history, so I'd be happy to learn why this is silly :P)

> Also, the GNSS software in most phones is sadly unable to accept the correction data from any of these systems, regardless of whether it's a nationwide network or your personal setup. This is purely a software limitation on the vendor GNSS stack, but sadly there is not enough demand for this. (An app will not fix this, we're talking vendor specific low level system code here.)

I don't think that's true. Android surfaces raw GNSS measurements including carrier phase (sub wavelength measurements) to do centimeter level positioning through the raw measurements API [0].

There's even an API to specify the phone antenna phase pattern to correct the carrier phase measurements (source: I implemented it [1]). For those that aren't familiar, the idea is that the antenna pattern on phones isn't perfectly symmetrical, and depending on the direction of the incoming signal, it may appear longer. Knowing the antenna pattern, you can correct for this.

Saw it in N Texas between dark +15minutes and about 2:30 this morning. Really nice. I've waited since 2003 to see another from my front yard. I caught the big ones during that last solar max including the X27 flare auroras. This show came from a merging of several X-class flares in quick succession. There was an X5.7 today that may also give us a show in 2-3 days depending on whether it had an earth-directed component.

Learn or teach anything, with real people and live class
I've always searched for a platform where I could find mentors for almost anything, but never found one. So, I decided to build it myself!

Introducing a marketplace of live classes taught by real people who are passionate and knowledgeable about their subjects. Whether you want to learn a new language, master cooking, or any other skill, this platform has got you covered.

Give it a shot, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I don't understand this at all. It's a story about model merging. The stuff in that movie is more pertinent than ever!
Idk the risk is not remotely the same between two people.

I’ve drank the tap water in India, eaten fish that’s just been sitting in a pan on my stovetop for a day, cooked and eaten expired slimy chicken (admittedly more than a few times), among many other transgressions, and I’ve never felt sick.

Whatever few organisms and their toxins that may grow if I leave leftovers out an hour too long has so far been easy mode for whatever acid bath flows through my body so I’m not going to throw away food needlessly.

(P.S. If I cook for someone else, I have much more stringent food safety standards. Also despite my transgressions, I do usually cook non-expired high quality food.)

You don’t speak for every migrant. Interestingly, you yourself aren’t even an immigrant but your parents are! So I guess by your own logic your whole post is “reductive and insulting”?

There are as many reasons to migrate as there are migrants… myself, I would never wish to live in the US but am very happy to live in Switzerland.

Your tier list is completely whack, there is no way I would list the UK above Western Europe. I have spent 18+ months in the UK last five years.
lol, this was obviously posted by a woman who wants other women to throw themselves under a bus.

The claim is that women can help themselves by simultaneously failing to acknowledge a boss's power, while also making the female assistant feel awkward.

It is rather similar to the joke about how you can walk into an army base and gain authority by referring to every private as captain: all you will do is single yourself out as someone who doesn't understand how things work around here.

If I was the female CEO of a company and I had a male assistant, and another male employee treated my assistant as equal to myself because of solidarity something something, I would stomp them both into the ground. Don't expect to be treated differently just because the sexes happen to reverse.
It reminded me of Lem's Eden as well.

I like to write my Python in a vertical monitor, it does reinforce keeping your lines short. There's always going to be examples where you just need to have that one line of arcane garbage, but for the most part I find that I can scan through a Python file much faster since I don't have to disect each line.

The point is to emphasize readability but the truth is that readability is pretty subjective. To each their own syntax, I guess.
What an origin story:

”While I was imprisoned inside Buchenwald I had, after a few days, told the [people] in the work production scheduling department of my ideas. The head of the department, Mr. Munich said, 'See, Herzstark, I understand you've been working on a new thing, a small calculating machine. Do you know, I can give you a tip. We will allow you to make and draw everything. If it is really worth something, then we will give it to the Führer as a present after we win the war. Then, surely, you will be made an Aryan.' For me, that was the first time I thought to myself, my God, if you do this, you can extend your life. And then and there I started to draw the CURTA, the way I had imagined it.”

It’s revealing that a Nazi camp manager in 1943 would dangle the carrot that someone could be “made Aryan.” Shows that the leaders didn’t actually believe the race bullshit.

If that meal makes you deadly sick, yeah it's risky.
It's not controversial, just wrong and different from what you were arguing for before about some innate TUI benefit ("mandatory"), which simply doesn't exist.

Now, "on average" does all the talking here, like, even putting the cli vs tui categorization aside (otherwise the "average" would support no nav, just some text flags), you can't really pick a small niche of TUI apps and compare it to the whole GUI, pick the same niche, and then you'd get categorically comparable keyboard support
I misunderstood you - you were referring to GP's specific use of the phrase ("legally blind without my glasses") not just the phrase "legally blind"

I certainly want to put my guitar down and stop recording artists if I'm going to be faced with violence or any of the lesser definitions of the word "outrage."

You can dislike something without being outraged. Well, right up until someone is outraged with you. Then you can't say that you like or dislike things anymore.

That seems like a terrible society to live in. It's the one we're experiencing.
Unlike communists they don't pretend to benefit us when they print money for the top of the pyramid.
That might have been a part, but it's more that the idea of self-expression as the prime value in art is mostly a 20th century thing. The falling off of skill, realism, and other similar metrics is also a 20th century thing and largely came from photography and mass manufacturing. There's probably an essay or book out there covering the two intertwining topics, but I can't think of any offhand.

It's also worth noting that artists themselves were more directly competitive. Da Vinci and Michelangelo had a bit of a rivalry, for example:

https://artrkl.com/blogs/news/art-history-feuds-michelangelo...

https://www.historyextra.com/period/renaissance/leonardo-mic...

You can't really imagine this happening between top contemporary artists today. "Gerhard Richter says he's a better painter than Takashi Murakami," is a headline that wouldn't make much sense.
And most people don’t see through this; they become over the top fans, shoehorning it into every tech stack convo until they notice they are locked in (or change jobs) and then start the entire thing from start again with the tech du jour. Seems fine if you build stuff that is to survive 1-2 years at most, but how teams plan long term on this stuff, I don’t know. We have fast kv, easy to install, not vendor locked in and open source for a long decade+ time. I would like stable, not slightly more convenience that becomes inconvenient once you think about it enough.

> The PC game port is a nearest thing to intentional GPIO that PC has.

Er, what? Not every IBM PC (clone) had a (sound) card with joystick ports, but almost every PC clone had (ISA, later PCI) extension slots. There were/are plenty of digital i/o adapter cards for those available, from plain, cheap 8255 based ones to those with slave CPUs (potentially more powerful than the host's CPU).

But then, perhaps I don't understand what you mean by 'intentional' GPIO.

There's no evidence that this use was real. Mythbusters tried it and said the trick itself does work (which any of has may already know), but who knows if it was even practical in a pirate boat, vs the loss of stereo vision etc.

The whole idea of pirates wearing eyepatches seems simply the replication of one particularly colorful pirate archetype over centuries of literature and tales.
I don't expect you to meddle in our politics, indeed.
Minecraft has a mod called ComputerCraft, which adds lua-powered computers to the game. They can read various state from the world, like redstone levels and chest contents, and move things between chests and set redstone outputs and play sound and etc. You can also upgrade them into turtles, which can move around and mine blocks and stuff. It's a nice environment for basic robotics programming with immediate feedback.

(IIRC there's theoretically an "educational edition" of this, but I don't know if I'd put much stock in that; you're close enough and personalizing the learning enough that you're probably better off just using the normal mod.)

> The falling off of skill, realism, and other similar metrics

Can you elaborate on this? Are you saying artists now are generally less skilled than artists from back then...?

As for realism: isn't this still very much the goal of plenty of video game design, TV/movies, and various other forms of art?
That's why you gotta shoot em up with Python to get them hooked on programming then teach them enough C++ to hang themselves with.
It is pretty common to talk about derivatives in abstract algebra in contexts where the calculus definition makes no sense.

Broadly, there is a class of functions refered to as "derivations" that can be viewed as a generalization of the derivative. In particular, a derivation satisfies 2 properties:

1) It is linear

2) It satisfies the product rule.

Any function that satisfies these rules is often called a "derivative".

Notably, the function discussed in the article fails the linearity test, which is a pretty big problem for calling it a derivative.
Just stop buying their product.

The Federal Court took up the appeal from Alsup case, accepted Oracles arguments that copying headers & using then same variable makes made the Java reimplementation a copyright violation (incompetent losers), sent the question of fair use back to a jury trial, the jury decided yeah it was fair use, the Federal Court ignored the jury and decided to ignore everyone hollering at them that they were being idiots & ruled for Oracle anyways.

Then the Supreme Court ignored the copyrightability aspects & ruled for a Google on some fair use grounds.

I've skimmed the write up from the ever excellent always recommendable Mark Lemley, Interfaces and Interoperability After Google v. Oracle, and really hope I can go a bit deeper into the history & trial at some point. Section 2 The Long Saga of Google v. Oracle starts on page 27 of the inner pdf. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3898154

It's been incredibly disappointing watching courts like the Federal Circuit be so unable to handle even basic technical matters with even an iota of comprehension, having them bungle up things so badly in the face of so much easy to rely on precedent. Being sweet talked by Oracle's lawyers into believing a header file is anything greater than interface definiton is either incompetence, or some really vicious pro-business hellworld shit.

For user based keys, that sounds nice. Except on multiplayer cases, again in these cases one might find alternative solution rather than KV. I don't remember reading that any other service offers this speed.
Sanctuary AI General Purpose Robots- Fraudelent?
So does Vancouver company sanctuary A I is purportedly building general purpose, learning robots and working on AGI. This is highly dubious. I have a background in machine learning and AI and I can tell that they are tele- operating the robots while trying to give an impression of autonomy. I looked at their leadership team and there's no deep technical expertise in the fields of robotics or AI. I went to school with one of the founders, and know the other founder and she has an undergraduate degree in computer engineering from University of Calgary, no specific education OR experience in AI (She worked as an Oil and gas consultant for a few years after school). If I was building a company working on AGI I would be looking for veterans Silicon valley engineers or people from Berkeley, Stanford, MIT University of Toronto with education, and published papers, research and experience in that domain. . They have none of that. All they have is vaporware.
There are in fact real companies working on AGI and general purpose learning robots from Google's everyday robotics and robotics transformer RT-X model, Berkeley AI research lab ,covariant AI, Toyota and bunch of other research Labs around the world. They are using foundation models and LLMs as "brains", cross embodiment robotics training data.. of these robots and they're making progress.
This company is giving an impression trying to give an impression they are much further away than they are. I don't think they will ever amount to anything and yet they're trying to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital in Series B (Already got 100 million in Series A, including30 million from Canada innovation fund). This is a massive missallocation of resources in my opinion
Of course it's subjective.

You're talking as if it's a point release of Debian. It is not. It happened in sid/testing, that's what these releases are for.

Whether it happened in a point or major release of Keepassxc is irrelevant, because ignorant users who upgrade their sid/testing installations blindly as if it was stable-security would have hit it eventually.
Hi, I'm a time traveller from the 2030s and chuckled a little at the prediction that people would still by writing apps by then.
Usually, with a lot of products, the expiry date is just an indicator. I ate 12+ year old pastas, 2+ year old sauces I found in our pantry and they were indistinguishable from half year old items. Well, the sauces actually had a much better taste than the ones used before expiry.

I'd rather see an expiry date plus some indicator that after the expiry date how fast would it spoil, or what changes it will go through, if ever.
Avoiding the soft delete anti-pattern
I'm not sure if this trend will continue for as long as you fear.

Individual expression had had some boosts during the Renaissance, during Romanticism (perhaps due to atheism, as a first response to globalism, and due to scientific discoveries regarding the mind) and again after World War II (perhaps due to the "American Dream" propaganda, and perhaps even as a way to fight communism?).

A strange culture developed where narcissistic art critics praised even more narcissistic artists, supporting the notion that these artists were actually responsible for their amazing ideas.

I sincerely hope that I'm not the only one who is no longer interested in this state of affairs. Aside from some misguided nonsense, the woke cancel culture seems to have provided some welcome balance here, and when the dust settles it may become preferable again to be a modest artist once more.

I for one am not so convinced that individual expression is worthy of so much praise. I'd rather see people care for the weak instead of for the wealthy. Perhaps Hacker News is not the best place to vent such ideas though :)
Which sort of leads itself to military usage...

And Wikipedia is only talking about humans, not about electronics, which are much more sensitive to microwaves. Want to fry the enemy's electronics? Just focus that "civilian" microwave transmitter with a few GW power tightly on where you want it to be.

I am really surprised nobody talks about this whenver space-based power transmission is mentioned.
