Yup. I'll be covering OS/2 when I look at operating systems in this period.

The level of foot-shooting by IBM on that one was ridiculous.
I thought this sounded like BS, so I looked a bit more closely into ear physiology.

You obviously need some kind of energy source (either an active amplifier or a noisy pump source) to have resonances that can be recorded. What would that be for tinnitus? Blood flow noise?

Well it turns out that there is thought to be active amplification in mammalian ears, via the outer hair cells. They have some sort of active motor protein setup that is thought to physically amplify incoming sounds. So you can get a self-sustaining resonance that way. A healthy ear will emit sounds from spurious or resonant activation of these motor proteins.

Apparently this is thought to cause a minority of cases of tinnitus.

I looked into if I could buy probe microphones to test my own ears. Looks like Etymotic sells a couple in the $1500 range (as of the mid-90s), presumably more expensive now. Couldn't find any good deals on used lab-grade probe microphones online.
> Many people hold values like this that are immediately dismissed once the technology in question can save something or someone they truly hold dear.

Has any of this law enforcement and surveillance significantly disrupted the rise of mass/school shootings? If technology is fixing the problem, why are Unsolved Murders at record highs [0]?

> I would also throw those fears out the window if it meant a drone could find or track someone who kidnapped my child or loved one

Won't save them from a school shooter when the cops stand outside for an hour. What's ironic is how many times these mass shooters were "on our radar" before the event, indicating the existing surveillance system worked well enough already. How is more surveillance going to fix this problem, when we already are the most surveilled people in the history of this planet? A better question: Would you even bother to check?

> I think the reality is far from the dystopic panopticon people imagine and also won't be free of occasional abuse or over-enforcement that will likely be mitigated by citizen pushback and regulation.

At the very least, you implicitly assume every person, institution, and all technology behind those efforts work as advertised every time. Even your cop-out disclaimer assumes the natural state is perfection, and anything wrong will eventually balanced back to perfection. Specifically, you assume its brought back into balance by somebody else. Your whole argument is based on this premise. I wonder what regulation came up after Edward Snowden's relevations? Again, better question: Have you checked?

Why yes, your kidnapped loved one will be located when all these stars align! Hopefully they won't shoot the victim (and bystanders) along with the kidnapper [1].

Hi HN, Creator here!

We see many posts on Reddit where we could introduce our product, but it's hard to respond in a timely manner, and making replies manually is time-consuming. This is where Replyhub comes in to solve the problem. It takes the hassle out of the process so you can focus on other tasks while it handles this side of things.

Replyhub tracks keywords across Reddit and finds relevant posts. It then analyzes the post content to determine if a reply is warranted and automatically crafts a curated response. For example, if someone is asking about the best productivity tools, Replyhub can respond with a recommendation for your product, complete with details.

All you need to do is define a few keywords, which takes just a few minutes. Then, sit back and let Replyhub handle the rest. This means you can engage with potential customers and promote your product without spending hours on Reddit.

Any feedback and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

> making Linux drivers crap

This has zero consumer harm since an insignificant fraction of consumers use Linux.

The harm is in their control of both chip making and e.g. CUDA. The analogy would be Intel refusing to license 8086 and x86 to AMD [1].

It feels more like a private tweet than an article.

For anyone else curious, Byju is an online EdTech who also paired with a offline tutoring business paying $1B (600MM cash and rest in stocks). Unfortunately, they failed to become profitable and folded.

Though, I am very curious, how they fail to generate any revenue from their offline wing(Aakash), as private tutoring centers(or local term: coaching centers?) are immensely popular in South Asia and it always baffled my mind that, children and young adult has to attend school as well as these centers to excel in class. Sometimes, the same people teaching in school has these tutoring business after school and it is a common practice to seek these kinds of things.
Every time this subject comes up all we hear about is how risky it is for the landlord. Like... no shit? It's an investment. Risk is part of investments. Sometimes investments don't pay out, and sometimes you lose money.

If you want to make money in a risk-averse manner, might I suggest a job instead of an investment property? You know, like the people who's money you want to take are required to prove to you they have, so you can take a nice chunk of it so they can not freeze to death? One of those. They're all over the place, according to the landlords.

> One of the landlords I spoke to, said that while he understood why renter protections had become so strong, it took forever to kick out a tenant not paying rent.

Did he happen to mention why the tenant stopped paying? Because that's probably pretty relevant to why renter protections were stopping him from throwing him out onto the street. Like, I'm sorry it's bit of a bureaucratic fuckabout to KICK SOMEONE OUT OF THEIR HOME but you know, the landlord in this scenario has the economic backing to, in some way, own an extra residence that they don't need, and the tenant they're trying to evict (probably) doesn't. So on the whole I'm okay with renter protections making that hard. One of these people is acutely more vulnerable to houselessness, and it isn't the dude with 2+ houses.

Again, if this is a problem, maybe said landlord should get a job.
It's not illegal to have a monopoly. It's illegal to manipulate the market to maintain a monopoly. Product dumping to kill competitors for example.

Milking your customers to the max is the opposite of what you'd do to illegally maintain a monopoly.
There might be other factors at play, though. Like one company I stayed at for a while was only a lovely 45 mins walk from my house, and that was excellent for my mental health every morning and afternoon. Trading that for an hour in the car would mean I'd want more to offset it.
Reading the article, it's mostly talking about remote control, not AI
It's not a fact that it's immoral. It being immoral is _your_ judgement. If someone else thinks it's not immoral, that is _just as legitimate_.

Technology itself is the invention of machines that exceed human capability. That's why even though surgeons still sometimes cut with obsidian blades, those blades are honed by other machines and not human hands.

Robotics are already used in surgery and exceed the capabilities of the hands of the surgical team that control it. It's not a stretch to see where that goes in the future.

What's troubling is that AI is not better than human brains today. It's especially good at being wrong, and making shit up. We don't want whatever tech bros call "AI" guiding surgical robots making up their own procedures when they see a spinal column that looks different from their training set.
I have severe hyperacusis and have had tinnitus for decades. My entire life is a quest for quiet and silence. If we're going out with friends, the first thing I want to know is how loud the environment is, and if it's going to be a noisy outing, I decline. I often dream of buying a place in the backcountry because the noise and electronic resonance humming through the suburbs is terribly distracting and physically painful. I am still in the process of buying and returning kitchen appliances, trying to find a refrigerator that doesn't whine all day long.

“The most mind-blowing moment, not only for De La Mata but the scientists too, came when they managed to actually record the sounds that she heard in her ears…by having De La Mata place her ear into an anechoic chamber, with an ultra-sensitive microphone perched in her ear canal”
It sounds impressive. One could argue for a physical LED tied to the power of the internal camera and microphone. But if I understand correctly, this exclave/dot will be work on external monitors (so the LED is not hidden just because you use one) and probably works with external cameras and microphones (which don't normally have their own LEDs). At least, it probably works with "normal" external cameras and microphones that one uses for zoom, etc.
Evolution is the king of good enough. Things that work but have issues usually don't get 'revised'. For one of the funniest examples check out the recurrent laryngeal nerve which connects from your spine very close to your brain to your voice box... with a short little detour all the way down into your neck under your aortic arch back up to your voice box. [0] The main theory is it's a vestige of ancient fish anatomy and even shows up in GIRAFFES where it's over 4 meters long because it takes the same detour all the way down the neck.

I'm curious as to the potential harm concentrations of light can be, even if outside the human visible spectrum. Not just to people, but wildlife and plantlife.
Seems like a very small-minded way to see things... But if it makes you feel any better, Musk is only one of many people working at SpaceX. You could see him as just a figurehead and you wouldn't too far from reality.
Orbital velocity = orbital speed + orbital trajectory. Velocity is a vector. Orbital velocity + orbital altitude means orbit. That is, unless you think that everyone at SpaceX misspoke and they were only aiming for orbital speed (which they did not achieve with IFT3), and just wanted that speed in any direction.

Sounds like the plan to de-orbit was then to just go belly forward and let drag take you out of orbit. That is pretty much how every object in LEO de-orbits.
I've resorted to running a shell script every time I plug in.

displayplacer "id:... res:2048x1330 hz:120 color_depth:8 enabled:true scaling:off origin:(0,0) degree:0" "id:... res:3840x2160 hz:30 color_depth:8 enabled:true scaling:off origin:(-918,-2160) degree:0"

displayplacer is very easy to set up and also gives you access to modes that you can't access with System Preferences.
The biggest problem with SyCL is that AMD doesn’t want to back a horse that they don’t control (same reason they opposed streamline) so they won’t support it. When the #2 player in a 2-player market won’t play ball, you don’t have a standard.

Beyond that, AMD’s implementation is broken.

Same as Vulkan Compute - SPIR-V could be cool but it’s broken on AMD hardware, and AMD institutionally opposes hitching their horse to a wagon they didn't invent themselves.

This is why people keep saying that NVIDIA isn't acting anticompetitively. They're not, it's the Steam/Valve situation where their opponents are just intent on constantly shooting themselves in the head while NVIDIA carries merrily on along getting their work done.

Making renting riskier doesn't inherently make property less expensive. If a shortage of rental properties makes more people want to buy condos and houses, then there's more demand for condos and houses. Making renting riskier also means that apartment buildings are less profitable and less likely to be built.

A more likely outcome is that condos and houses get more expensive because of the shortage of apartments. And fewer apartments get built because investors know that they will not be able to kick out squatters.

I mean the old rocket landings threw away 90%+ of the rocket first. Minus the hot staging ring and some molten metal almost all of this rocket was present at both its landings.
I think someone else in charge of Tesla would be a good thing.
That's one of the reason why space planes were preferred for so long. Bleeding of speed while skipping along the atmosphere and then coming in for landing.
Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me, unless we're now just using "GPT" as a generic word for "AI" (i.e. computer player) now.

No, that would not work.

First of all qualified hearing tests require a controlled environment sanitized against sounds. That means a hearing lab with a sound booth and specialized headphones that do a better job of eliminating noise for the purpose of facilitating a hearing test.

Secondly, hearing tests perform a frequency test in different ranges, directionality, and volumes against each ear separately. There is no way for the test machine to know what a person hears without participant feedback because hearing is both a physical and cognitive function. That also means participate bias, such as hearing phantom beeps during the test, and controlling for such.

Thirdly, various groups have tested in past for advanced speaker products that produce ranges far beyond human hearing. I once owned Sony headphones with a range of 11-80000 Hz. Humans only hear from about 15-22000 Hz. The point of the extended range is to provide a more ambient experience through silent noise collision of real world ambient sounds, but that only works if the given media emits in that extended range.

Finally, since hearing is half cognitive people process audio somewhat uniquely and thus enjoy and preference different things. Preferences are not accounted for in auditory hearing tests, because that isn't the point of those tests.
Other than pricing and any anti-competitive deals or collusion that DOJ digs up, CUDA seems like the obvious place you would attack by forcing Nvidia to open it up. But I don't know if that's likely to be an angle the government would pursue.

Not sure if I heard the commentary correctly, but I believe they said the video uplink was via starlink. If so, they should have the precise location.
Why do you need AI to work at a scale smaller than surgical teams already can, instead of better robotics?
Good to know. I did have it hallucinate pretty bad yesterday when I asked it about Microsoft AI Recall. After it kept telling me confidently about Outlook's AI ability to call back messages after being sent, I told it to search the internet on the topic and it came back with accurate data on Microsoft's new AI feature in Windows 11.

So it's still not perfect :)
Claim eminent domain or BIS over CUDA and allow it to be used on all those other chips.

You fix the anti-trust issues and super charge AI development just by open sourcing CUDA.
Somewhat odd sizing. 7B -> 57B is quite a jump...and crucially misses basically the entire spectrum of consumer GPUs wholesole.
Did you sue them or have a criminal case brought against them? I think corporate espionage is illegal in many countries, probably in yours too.
It might be fine tunable for specific tasks BERT-style, I really doubt it's coherent enough for anything out of the box.

Man I hope Musk names one of the Starships Enterprise.
I'm not talking about mistaken vision, I mean like an officer reaching for the wrong item in their belt and shooting someone. But even in terms of a suspect holding an object, a computer vision system may not be 100% accurate, but it also won't panic nor does it even need to react to having a gun pointed at it.
This belief is very, very far from mainstream. It implies that suffering is a complete non-issue in general—after all, we all die and at that point by definition don’t have a recollection of prior suffering (or anything, really).

Since “resetting” is equivalent to killing a being and creating a new being in its place, saying it nullifies all suffering already incurred can take you on a very dangerous path.
Same for Amazon Linux and Azure/EKS and AKS. I would understand if this were targeted towards a general consumer, but if it's targeting techies then precluding two of the biggest cloud services in the world is... certainly a choice.

Doubly so on Yubikey/GPG/PKCS11 support. Enhanced security should never be behind a paywall, IMO.

A better approach might be number of machines instead of this detection.
The commenter is talking about the 6 month trip to Mars in space, not on the surface.

Only one item here really is explicitly illegal/immoral. Can you guess which one? How much evidence is there for US doing it?
I know many people, but I'm based in the US. Consumerism is the big thing here. I do know some people who are happy and responsible, but not many.

Over consumption is not the cause of those people's happiness, but a symptom. The lack of a sense of responsibility is the main driver. The care-free people are often the happiest. However, they also tend to cause more negative externalities in my experience.
Most human systems are still photomultiplier tubes because they're so much faster than digital night vision systems. It's tough to move/shoot/drive with the digital systems because of the lag from photon to photon.
yeah, i think software control of buck and boost converters is a mainstream thing to do at this point, and if you think about it, that's what you're doing every time you control a motor with a pwm signal, even if the motor's windings are the only inductor. building discrete dc-dc converters turns out to be the main purpose for the 184-picosecond-resolution high-resolution timer included in chips like the stm32g484. i was reading this appnote yesterday: https://www.st.com/resource/en/application_note/an4539-hrtim...

incidentally, even the old attiny chips that don't have adcs at all do have analog comparators, so you can do tricks like that with them too

i'd be happier with the on-chip op-amps if they also included on-chip analog multiplexers, resistors, and capacitors sufficient to build something like a sallen–key filter in software, but so far only the cypress psoc line seems to be doing that, and it's probably a lot of chip real estate to sacrifice for an inferior version of a couple of 0.3¢ external components

i'm not an ee either, i just play one in ngspice
It was posted when the booster had just landed and the ship was still coasting. I guess the mods figure the topic should be contained here for being the first related post.

But there was already a growing post with the other link, they forcibly merged that one into this one rather than the reverse.
That's a bit like saying "instead of ext4 you can use an SSD" in that the things involved span multiple layers. When you select the option to use Apple virtualization framework in UTM you're still using QEMU, what you're changing is the backend QEMU is using for the CPU virtualization.
What other instances? That was the really obvious one during model 3 “production hell” as they scaled up production mostly on hopium assuming they’d sell.
Yeah the arena leaderboard will show where it really goes in a week or two.
Kind of, all the other advantages they have are a result of being in such a dominant position in the market, which they gained more or less through that superior toolkit (CUDA).
The neighbors on my block share a gravel alleyway, which develops enormous potholes over time. The city does not maintain it, so we all chip in every couple of years to have it re-graded. One of our neighbors, who happens to own a few expensive sports cars, wants us to have the alley paved with asphalt instead: but it will take twenty years of regrading before the project would break even.
We are happy subscribers to Pinwheel (https://www.pinwheel.com), which is a smartphone without browser or social media access.

Our kids can still phone and text their friends, take photos and videos, listen to music, etc. There are hundreds of supported apps, and we can always whitelist apps from the Google Play Store as needed.

But they're not on Insta/Snapchat/TikTok, they can't browse the Web, and we have reasonable oversight via parental controls.

Likewise, our 7th and 9th graders have laptops, but they don't have unfettered access to the Web.

Our hope is that by giving them sloooow exposure to the digital realm, with a lot of guard rails, they'll be less likely to get smacked in the face with something really awful that they're not equipped to handle.

I see this as a moderate position, between a total ban on technology, and practically no restrictions at all, which seems like a recipe for disaster for the majority of tweens and teens.

That said, I recognize that compared with many of their peers, it's pretty strict. That's probably the hardest part of navigating the technology landscape -- having to deal with the comparisons between what we think is sensible and what other parents allow for their kids.
