There's strong diminishing returns in this sort of growth. With anything, you can optimize it until you can't. The market requires you to grow forever. How will Raspberry Pi Ltd still be growing in 50 years when the entire orchard of low hanging fruit is long since picked barren?
I liked it, but I found it too easy.
“So long and thanks for all the yachts”
I think that can be chalked up to other changes like the wild increases in cigarette prices, the near elimination of advertising, and cigarettes becoming culturally uncool (orthogonal to DAREs attempts). Your link shows that during the heyday of these campaigns usage rates were still rising. They didn't really drop until after the approach was dialed back, and they dropped most appreciably after DARE gave up on anti-drug messages entirely.

The message of the article wasn't that you can't discourage drug use at all, it's that the means may be counterproductive. The means used in DARE were counterproductive.

Love MUI and have been following them for years. I especially like how transparent they have been in sharing their sustainability plan.
Getting a general memory allocator working in kernel contexts is a hard task. You need to make sure it can't block and is re-enterable, that it doesn't result in fragmentation, and that it can be used from multiple threads.

It can be solved (or worked around), but it's understandable that people don't _want_ to do that.

I wish Google would open up the ability for open source software to act like a Chromecast device, so that all the Chromecast-enabled apps could cast to it.

The basic UX of casting video from an app on my phone is the way I want to control my screens, and every application you care about supports it. But only Chromecast devices are allowed to be the server. And Chromecast devices don't do the things I want them to. I want to attach a PC to my screen instead, but still be able to cast videos to it from all the apps that support Chromecast.

Unfortunately it's locked down with certificates and such, so it's impossible to create a Chomecast-compatible device without Google's blessing (or someone leaking the keys).

Is this because of piracy concerns? But almost all of these apps have in-browser versions that do work on regular PCs. And there is HDCP and whatnot. I don't care about being able to access the video stream itself, I just care about being able to customize the UX around it...

Lynk Global will competing against Starlink — which is already manufacturing and operating at scale, and is vertically integrated with their launch provider... which will soon be lofting _much_ larger and more capable satellites on their new launcher. I don't see what worthwhile niche will be left for Lynk to play with.

The cynic in me can't help but wonder if somebody is hoping to cash out via whatever investors haven't yet noticed the writing on the wall.
The author of this article lives in La Grange which is a relatively wealthy Chicago Suburb (this is public information on her Twitter profile). Using those same 2019 FBI crime stats referenced in that Wikipedia article, you can find that La Grange experienced zero murders and had an overall violent crime rate of 10 per 100k (vs. Chicago's 943 per 100k).

Given the low crime rate in La Grange, citing crime statistics in this case does not fully account for differences between parenting in Switzerland and US suburbs, even if that suburb happens to be a Chicago suburb.

I've got a few ShieldTV boxes, only because they satisfy the "apps" method to view content as well as good support for Kodi with SMB/CIFS shares and most modern media encoding. DIY options mostly suck and don't support high resolution streaming services well.

The game is pretty rigged and it all sucks. I have one home device (the little puck) setup to work with a chromecast audio in the same room for playing music. But they discontinued chromecast audio devices, which I think were pretty great.
> Wanna talk about how ram/storage upgrades are priced now that you can't go to 3rd parties?

That's been the case since 2012? Old news, old news. Since Jobs died in 2011, it's very likely it had Jobs' seal of approval. Speaking of Jobs dying in 2011, the Apple Watch was brought out in 2015. It's highly unlikely that it was a gleam in Jobs' eye, and if it was, it was only a notional idea. Cook is the man that developed the Apple Watch, not Jobs.

Ask HN: Is ChatGPT Good Anymore?
I typically run 3 LLM's at a time in MSTY such as Gemini, Claude 3, Qwen or TinyDolphin, and this week ChatGPT 4o... the answers I get from Clause and Gemini are by far the most useful. The local LLM's are also similarly good / useful (just slow on my m1 mac). ChatGPT 4o... I mean, they sound good, but if you actually try out what it's saying it's not pretty / doesn't typically work or there are issues you run into like the option you need to change isn't there, etc. For example, I wanted steps in how to install Ubuntu on Docker on Windows... Gemini and Clause gave me nearly identical steps (that worked)... ChatGPT 4o... was so off I closed / deleted that window without further thought.

And don't get me started on trying to reproduce any of the vision stuff they showed on Monday, I have yet to get my paid account to do anything remotely similar to those demos... so I guess they were all scripted after all(?)

Very easily. Companies as aggregates of people beyond just the decision makers can both do actions and have knowledge that the decisionmakers do not, and knowledge and action tend to be important in the definition of crimes.

“Just a struct” plus “measuring curvature and shapes” is where my mind goes into “must visualize this” mode. How does a struct have curvature/shape? Or is curvature overloaded here (with a technical math definition that is very different than the layman’s “surface of a sphere” mental model).
I wish all game executables would be OS agnostic, something similar to WebAssembly: GameAssembly. For example you can no longer play 32-bit games on new macOS version, neither 32-bit Windows games under Wine. It's almost impossible to find 64-bit .exe files so they can run under fine under Wine/Crossover.

The design problems that prevent walking are more than just distance. Roads in most places have gotten absurdly large, as have vehicles, and crossing infrastructure is often terrible and sometimes nonexistent. By designing for car dominance, we've made walking extremely dangerous, especially for children.

This also applies to bicycling.
So people will move out of those worst affected areas.

I've probably said this in other posts, but the best "don't do drugs" education my child got was living in a city. It's one thing to hear about drugs, it's another to watch your dad call 911 for a man collapsed with a needle still in his arm in a subway headhouse doorway.
Accessibility settings are really a gold mine on iOS for device customization (yes, I agree, they shouldn’t be limited to accessibility).

I’m particularly interested in the motion cues and the color filters for CarPlay - I have color filters set up to enable every night as kind of a Turbo-night shift mode (deep orange-red color shift), would love to do the same for CarPlay.

I also completely forgot iOS had a magnifier built in!
There is a huge difference in dose between “bacteria in your mouth producing an antibiotic” and “taking an antibiotic for an infection”. Bacteria, even the normal bacteria currently present in your mouth even without taking BCS3L-1, constantly produce antibiotics to kill competing bacteria. But they only produce tiny amounts, enough to affect the competitors in their immediate vicinity, but not nearly enough to cause any kind of systemic effect. If they did, you would already be experiencing these effects right now from all the other antibiotics produced by other bacteria in your mouth. In contrast, antibiotics for medical use are usually given in doses measured in the hundreds of milligrams or even grams, far more than mouth bacteria could ever possibly produce.
If corporations weren't counted as people, they couldn't be held criminally liable when, viewed as a single entity, they had the requisite combination of knowledge ans action to be guilty of a crime, but where none of the constituent individuals considered alone did.

It's honestly one of the hardest things for me, trying to explain to more junior developers that clever almost is never better. Does anyone have any good litmus or heuristic for figuring out when something is "too" clever?

I was thinking of a way to quantify "complexity" in a process by a sort of "reference counting" style metric, where the moment you have to reference some other location to figure something out, you add 1 to a number and if that number gets above some figure, it's too complex.
At least in the US, they kind of can't be. The disability community is pretty up front about lawsuits.

How Netflix Ensures Highly-Reliable Online Stateful Systems
I live in a country that imports 50% of the food. As long as the population produces something that others will trade for, that tends to work out ok.

However, should global food trade suddenly stop, I may be one of those starving.

Edit: just to be clear: Global refusal to trade food is extremely rare. What happens a lot more often, is that some country is unable to purchase food abroad due to either some blockade or lack of purchasing capacity.
While the statement "kids are smoking less cigarettes" is correct, not sure if that's proof that the programs are working. Naturally, teens are filling the void of cigarettes with vapes and e-cigs, seeing as 26% of high school students (https://www.singlecare.com/blog/news/vaping-statistics/) have vaped.

Whether the programs are working or not is more of a debate, but don't want this cherry picked stat to go untouched.

While I didn't walk to school (too far), I did walk to the bus stop by myself (with siblings) in the 80's / 90's. There was a group of kids who did walk to school though.

My friends and I did ride our bikes all over town though. To the swimming pool, to the basketball courts, to our friends houses on the other side of town, and everywhere in between. I had to leave my mother a note when I left, and be home when the street lights came one. Other than that, we were basically on our own riding around town and drinking water out of random garden hoses when we got thirsty.

I almost wish elections worked like this:

1: Every eligible person for the position gets put into a lottery for the position.

2: Each person may recuse themselves if they have no interest in the position.

3: Each person left must then provide a 10 second speech as to why they should be a candidate for the position.

4: A short vote is held, and the top 10 contestants advance to the second round where they may then go through the normal debates (and contest against the incumbent if their term limits are not up)

It would make the elections into more of a dog and pony show but would prevent 2 party institutions from dominating the landscape and usurping the American political system for personal gain.

Hilariously I've spent hours troubleshooting why my Pi running Pi-hole is intermittently inaccessible from my iPhone, despite being able to connect to the Pi from other machines. I still have no clue why. Last night I finally captured a tcpdump so maybe I can see what is happening (the Pi is indeed receiving packets from the iPhone), but it's totally inexplicable. The other Pi I have always hooked up (music player for my speakers) has a bash script that runs every 5 min with cron, to ping the LAN router and restart networking if it can't ping it. Why? Because after a while the Pi would randomly drop off the network and become inaccessible. Countless stuff online gives various troubleshooting which never made any difference, until I employed my hackish "check the network every 5min" which has completely "solved" the problem. Unfortunately this didn't "solve" the problem for the Pi running Pi-hole, sadly.
Click and drag. You have to start and end within the grid, which is probably what's throwing you off (and kinda dumb... on the list to fix).
The issue isn't necessarily water ingestion, but that alcohol messes with the body's ability to absorb it to where it's needed. If you're consuming high amounts of alcohol and water, and enough alcohol nonetheless builds up, the ability to absorb water goes down. It's one reason why you pee more when drinking.

I could see drinking water, then sobering up, and going to sleep could mean water could then be absorbed. That may limit the effects of the dehydration and therefore the hangover.

Also your body's overall health and efficiency probably pays a role. In my teens/20s I could get sloshed and wake up with merely a vague discomfort. In my 30s I started to get actual hangovers. In my 40s its now just awful almost no matter what I do.

On the plus side, I'm saving money drinking less in general...

Of course, perfect economics would assume maximizing long term shareholder value, which means not exploiting your customers. But "Shareholder Value" these days invariably means "short term share price" i.e. burn goodwill to make the shares spike in the next 5 years so they can be dumped profitably, and never mind what comes after.

Text is:

Our university deployed a mail filter that rewrites URLs in emails to redirect them via a service that checks for bad websites. Somebody clever worked out that PGP-signed emails are exempt from the rewrite rule, so now people are starting their emails with "BEGIN PGP MESSAGE" even though they haven't used PGP at all, just to fool the filter

Anybody sending malware links has probably also worked out that trick by now, thereby rendering the entire filter pointless

----- END EDIT -----

But I have an interesting issue which is (presumably) related. I keep getting obviously spam emails in my gmail and Google has refused to do anything about it (after finally getting through to support). These are embarrassingly bad emails. Ones you'd expect a naive bayesian classifier to get near 100% accuracy on!

In the "to" address is something that's not even remotely my email. Suppose I'm godelski@gmail.com, the "to" has something like "robbert01@gmail.com" and always has a CC with a different number. Subject lines will be things like "confirmation of receipt" but in non-standard and inconsistent fonts. And the message body is that all too typical single image and claim of something like winning a home depot gift card. The "from" address is always some scammy looking address. So Naive Bayes should get it on just this alone!

But the weird thing is when you show the original message. There's PAGES of stuff in here (about 20 pages or 9.5k words)! All kinds of email conversations, things including stuff like "here is your one time <account> password", stuff in other languages, survey questions, conversations, and a lot more. I actually did a diff on a few of these and they're almost identical too! I can't help but think that these are some weird prompt injections. It looks like it is written by a madman, but it it's probably some "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" kinda thing.

But the message ID always comes from some Microsoft (something like microsoftstore1.microsoft.com). This is where Google support said it isn't their problem and moved on. I'm pretty critical of LLMs and their ability to reason, but I feel often we're trying to turn humans into machines instead of letting them complement one another. And I think this is why so many business people like LLMs, because they think everything can be figured out with clear immutable rules. But the thing is that the environment always changes and you need something that's not only adaptable, but can reason AND understands the actual desired outcome that humans want.

I hope someone at Google pays attention. Because you can't just hand all thinking over to humans. We're not there yet and it's why everything is going to shit (not just Google)

If it's anything like the "employment sector" options that banks ask you to pick from, then they're not trying to collect accurate info, but rather asking you to bucket yourself into a categorization system used by some very popular credit/risk-scoring heuristics.

My guess for why an HR platform is asking such a thing: it probably populates a field that can be fetched through an API, by corporate spending platforms (Float et al) that integrate with Workday, to determine (or at least "recommend") the employees who should be issued spend cards.
