This is actually a pretty common problem with iPhone thefts in US.

I've used GPIO on a Raspberry Pi Zero W to talk with DS18B20 temperature sensors, along with an SDR attached with USB tuning in radio traffic and decoding AX.25 packets in software.

I've also used GPIO on a Raspberry PI Zero W to build a Stratum 1 NTP server with nearly spooky accuracy with the PPS line.

Both things worked very well. They were compact, performant, used an inconsequential amount of power, and were very inexpensive.

And both things were very easy for me to implement, largely due to the tremendous amount of software available in the Linux-ey ecosystem.

If I were trying to bodge an MCU into performing these tasks without involving Linux, I'd probably have never gotten either of them done.
For real. For a split second, it might make a lot of FLOSS advocates go "wait, are we the baddies?"

> You can't get "ROMs" officially. You have to extract them from the cartridge with specialized equipment, or maybe in some other way, but it is not as simple as reading from a CD.

Nintendo has, in fact, sold the public ROMs before (and I don't just mean custom emulator executables wrapping ROM payloads that get delivered encrypted onto DRMed consoles.)

Specifically, I'm talking about the NES Classic and SNES Classic. These little boxes use multi-image emulators, rather than Nintendo's usual approach of a customized single-image emulator for each game. And the ROMs used by these systems are just sitting there as files on disk. The disk isn't encrypted, either; nor is the bootloader or kernel integrity-signed; or really anything like that. You don't need to "jailbreak" these things — they act like Android phones, where you can just reboot them into restore mode and plug them into a computer with a USB cable, and see a virtual disk. The "modding tools" for them just drop a new kernel with wi-fi support into their /boot partition! (And you don't even need to go that far to read the ROMs off the rootfs — any Linux PC will work to mount it.) So any DMCA "they used DRM, which means their intent was to license you X, not sell you X" arguments don't apply. They did nothing to stop people from extracting these ROMs.

By buying these systems, you're effectively buying "a box full of ROMs" directly from Nintendo (the IP rights-holder for said ROMs), at retail, as a "money for goods" transaction. So now, by the first-sale doctrine, they're your ROMs, and you can do with them as you please.

This is true as surely as buying a DVD box-set means you now own those DVDs, and can do with those as you please. (Part up and resell the DVDs individually? Sure, why not!)

Or — for perhaps a more interesting example — as surely as buying a stock images or sound-effects library on CD (even second-hand!) implicitly brings with it the IP rights to use those assets in derivative works you create. The primary-market purchaser didn't have to agree to any kind of license terms at point of sale? First-sale doctrine applies to that IP from then on! (Amusingly, Nintendo redistributed exactly such stock-image CD assets embedded into Mario 64 — so their lawyers are double-bound to agree that this particular interpretation of first-sale doctrine should pertain.)
The biggest problem with the Gemma license is that it requires you to agree to an Acceptable Use Policy that can be updated at any time, and any updates have to be obeyed too.

This means you could build something on the model today which becomes disallowed tomorrow.

Turns out modern technology/medicine, cleanliness standards, and avoidance of the illness of the highest at risk had a big effect in making sure it didn't take us out. One 100 years before we had a very similar pandemic that didn't end the world, but caused a large number of deaths.
I think it's more of "clearing the decks" for stuff that didn't make the cut for WWDC. I assume WWDC is going to be all about AI and they couldn't find a good spot to put this announcement. "Clearing the decks" isn't a very kind way to refer to this accessibility tech since Apple has always been better than almost everyone else when it comes to accessibility. I don't see this as "we don't care, just announce it early" as much as "we can't fit this in so let's announce it early".
Are you thinking of sim lock?

Android and ios boot mechanism are pretty identical: secure boot -> unlock modem -> unlock user area. There are some differences in where in the CPU this happes and how it is protected but Pixel phones are pretty close to iPhone even if we look at such details.

Indeed, that humans hunted through long distance pursuits has been known for a while.

The research paper on which the article is based on is about gathering evidence to support that endurance hunting was/is an efficient way to hunt.

Title: "Ethnography and ethnohistory support the efficiency of hunting through endurance running in humans"

Abstract:

Humans have two features rare in mammals: our locomotor muscles are dominated by fatigue-resistant fibres and we effectively dissipate through sweating the metabolic heat generated through prolonged, elevated activity. A promising evolutionary explanation of these features is the endurance pursuit (EP) hypothesis, which argues that both traits evolved to facilitate running down game by persistence. However, this hypothesis has faced two challenges: running is energetically costly and accounts of EPs among late twentieth century foragers are rare. While both observations appear to suggest that EPs would be ineffective, we use foraging theory to demonstrate that EPs can be quite efficient. We likewise analyse an ethnohistoric and ethnographic database of nearly 400 EP cases representing 272 globally distributed locations. We provide estimates for return rates of EPs and argue that these are comparable to other pre-modern hunting methods in specified contexts. EP hunting as a method of food procurement would have probably been available and attractive to Plio/Pleistocene hominins.

I think a lot of the false-positive cases where the screen gets locked are acceptable in context.

I mean, most people dropping their phone will be too glad/devastated that the device did/didn't escape harm to bother being annoyed that they have to unlock the screen again.

I appreciate you drawing attention to more nintendo beef but historically they have cared more about protecting copyright for current consoles.

You say the smash community has suffered for a decade (dramatic) but they still made Project M on GameCube and delisting Dolphin from steam is not that big of a deal. I don't need to get into Smash Tournament drama to tell you this with certainty and I have all the knowledge and history to back up this claim.

I've played Smash competitively for 2 decades and have been emulating since 1998 so I know the history better than most; my statement was not opinion. I'm not saying they absolutely don't care about older emulation but they care much more about their bottom line e.g. Yuzu.
To the average person, science must seem less trustworthy than ever.
Tech CEOs and "tech culture" has a fundamentally different understanding of causality and human agency than the author.

Cybertrucks arent what make the world of bladerunner a dystopia.
AI isnt what makes the world of "Her" a dystopia.

Techies see dystopian Sci-fi not as cautionary tale which suggests technology should be avoided, but rather a cautionary tale about how humans should interact with technology, and human behavior to be avoided.

I think this can be argued to be an optimistic view of human capacity, choice, individual agency. Naturally, it conflicts with pessimistic views where humans have low-agency and are at the mercy of their environment.

Which is why I question the "OO means it has a vtable" stance that seemed the promulgated here. While "packets and opcodes" is a bit non-specific, it does not appear to be incompatible with OO, and, for example, Smalltalk-72 seems very similar to "packets and opcodes"...though, again, it's not really specific enough to say with any certainty.
When the "creator" runs ads on their webpage they get paid per impression. With RSS they can't lock content behind a wall of JavaScript (and the associated AdTech). So they want to drive clicks to their ads.

This all means content creators are incentivized to make feeds that only link to their ad-laden web content. At best they'll put a tiny snippet of content in the post's description but the common case is just an empty description. End users of RSS want to have the actual content inside their reader. Reader apps often have features to detect link-only feeds and then go fetch the web content and display it in a Reader Mode fashion. This is at odds with the co tent creator wanting to show their ads.

This feeds (pun intended) into the question of repurposing. If a site has an easy way to find all the latest posts it becomes relatively easy for a third party grab that content and repost it. This was an explicit function of the old Planet software. It would aggregate a bunch of feeds together into a "river of news" format.
Honestly, people are really missing the forest for the trees with Discord. It's gone well beyond a chat application to being an entire category killer for things like community forums.
This is extremely common in genomics settings, and in the past I have spent far more time allocating disk iops, network bandwidth, and memory amounts for various pipeline stages than I have on CPUs in this space. Muck up and launch 30x as many processes as your compute node has, and it's fairy fixable, but muck up the RAM allocation and disk IO and you may not be able to fix it in any reasonable time. And if you misallocate your network storage, that can bring the entire cluster to a halt, not just a few nodes.
You could have also just looked at the documentation linked in the original post...

For immigration to the US, I don't think an origin of the Netherlands qualifies you for an special visas, but it's also not an 'impacted' country where there are backlogs several years (decades) for immigration in some categories. If you've got a masters degree, that may help you qualify in some visa categories that might speed up processing.

If you don't have any family connections, you're likely to need an employer to sponsor you, but because you're not from China, India, Mexico, or the Philippines, the process shouldn't take forever, if you have an employer willing to go through the process.

A typical path is to work for a multinational employer somewhere you've got work authorization, with an intent to transfer to the US at some point, and then work towards a green card (permanent residency) and maybe citizenship. The US immigration process is really too slow (and random, if you're coming in through H-1B) to hire fresh grads from other countries directly into the US.
Amen to this. I recall the original Western Digital WD TV Media Player.

https://www.cnet.com/reviews/western-digital-wd-tv-media-pla...

> It's virtually impossible to launch iOS-only today without enough funding that you can ride out the ensuing 1-2 years to also now build out and staff a web app

Not every product needs a web app.

If you absolutely need a web app, and it matters more than an iPhone app then build a web app first.

> The old Mac indies have brand names and a benefit of a smoother transition since they were there before the App Store.

The only real Mac app I've ever shipped came four years after the App Store. If you're going to call out my privilege, I need you to get the details right.

> didn't Apple have Halide on the Apple Store phones at some point?

Yes, after it had gained traction. The pre-install was an amusing distraction that made zero impact on downloads.

> It's very, very, very, hard to get to market, get attention, and get to a competitive wage in the US, just on UX and an iOS app, even with a year or two of patience.

That is a universal problem with building anything, whether it's a native app, web app, or protein shake. However, I'll argue tons more ways to build traction in native apps than web apps, on both a technical and marketing level.
On what hardware exactly?
Both sides are right, (mostly) about themselves.

I think the Pi is for people who want to run Linux and also be able to direct-drive voltage pins. Cheap intel systems are way better at running linux, and esp32s are way better at driving the voltage pins, but the former doesn’t offer easy hardware-pin accessibility through python and the latter has you figuring out which filesystem library to compile into your binary.

Homebrew emulators will almost always work better than first-party ones which need to avoid copyleft code, and can be content with a small subset of games being "playable", or "good enough".

Console makers will often hire lead developers of open source emulators to sew something up for them, like what was used for the mario 35 collection (part of galaxy was recompiled too) or the "ps2 classics" software emulator for the ps3.

While I agree (and do not use discord OR SLACK myself) the main issue in FLOSSland is that all VoIP solutions we have, and are many, are damn complex and long to deploy.

To succeed in having people self-host things we need something that can be deployed for distro packages effortless. In the past we have had some example of distributed stuff (aMule, RetroShare, Ring etc) we need something similar. Like a go or python app able to deploy without specific knowledge required. Otherwise most people will simply give up.

With RustDesk we have finally a good FLOSS solution to share screen over the internet for all, deploy the server part is BADLY DOCUMENTED, two distinct component with obscene names (hbbs and hbbr), but still something easy to deploy in few minutes not having read nothing about that specif sw or desktop sharing in general before.

For VoIP we are still far from being there.
I deliberately asked ChatGPT a logical question with a false premise: "If all snakes have legs, and a python is a snake, does a python have legs?"

ChatGPT answers:

> Yes, if we assume the statement "all snakes have legs" to be true and accept that a python is a type of snake, then logically, a python would have legs. This conclusion follows from the structure of a logical syllogism:

> 1. All snakes have legs.

> 2. A python is a snake.

> 3. Therefore, a python has legs.

> However, it’s important to note that in reality, snakes, including pythons, do not have legs. This logical exercise is based on the hypothetical premise that all snakes have legs.

ChatGPT clearly understands the logic of the question, answers correctly, and then tells me that the premise of my question is incorrect.

You can say, "But it doesn't really understand logic. It's just predicting the most likely token." Well, it responds exactly how someone who understands logic would respond. If you assert that that's not the same as applying logic, then I think you're essentially making a religious statement.

> Why do I care what the share price is or what volume of sales is occuring on the stocks around me?

Like it or not, your job as a manager in a company is to run that company for the people that own it, same as if you manage a local grocery store for your neighbour Jeff that owns it. Jeff will be happy if his store appreciates in value the same way the shareholders of the corporation (its owners) will be happy if it goes up in price.

So as an employee of the company (the CEO is one too), you care because your job is to care, and in the case of senior management you also have a legal duty to care and the company can be sued if you don't.

Yes, they made a microcontroller to compete with the ESP32, but the ESP32 has orders of magnitude more market share and ecosystem. Not to diminish what they accomplished with the RP2040; it's an impressive chip.

But as for whether they're chasing performance, the RP2040 isn't their flagship product. The Pi 5 is.

And I've had a Pi 5, under heavy CPU (not peripheral) load, start throwing undervoltage warnings when using a 5V3A power supply from a Pi 4.
