Some dedicated players with soldering irons may have hooked up a simple pedal switch across the gun's "cover" switch. Omg how I loved Time Crisis and arcades in general. Sigh.
LCD televisions became popular which don't work with old light guns. We might have the sinden gun now but it kind of came too late, i don't think you can play much on it except for old/emulated games. although there was the Wii so i think people getting bored of light gun games could be a factor, they are all quite similar after all.
You’ve hit the nail on the head. It’s often tedious getting one to work.
I don’t know, I kinda think if you’re going to have verbal warnings you kinda need a centralized system that processes all alarms to triage them like in an airplane.

If even 2 verbal alarms are going at the same time, it’s going to create a chaotic environment.

In a decentralized system, I think tones have less of an overlapping problem.
The vulnerability is that the first thing any malware that happens to run on the PC will do is upload the Recall database, giving the attacker your entire usage history since installation (and of any other user account on the same PC). This can then be analyzed for worthwhile targets for scams and blackmailing.

Or simply because we don't have evidance of Homo Sapiens in the Americas until ~20k years ago, 30k years after megafuana extinction.
Even then, climate change is this can become a problem for the poors.

The rich can just get better air conditioning and air processing.

About the only blue black to any of the rich/ elite is war famine and general economic disruption from The four horsemen of the Apocalypse
The gateway to a monthly consumer subscription. Therefore important to Microsoft.

Apple also uses dark patterns to try and get a monthly income from customers. Apple has upsells and nag nag nag advertisements for iCloud.

The irony with Microsoft is that I would consider paying a monthly fee for a modern version of Windows 2000 without extra features. No adverts, no telemetry, no OneDrive, no cloud signin, no store, no games installed as part of the OS, no MS junkware, no bullshit. Aside: why is there no "Windows for developers" - even Balmer knew "developers developers developers" was worthwhile but Microsoft has deleted that from its DNA: even though Apple's competition is a mixed bag.
Feynman was not a great teacher. Lots of people love his lectures now. But they're not getting graded on it.

Actual students were considerably more mixed. Obviously individuals vary so if I post how most of his students were totally lost in class, they'll post how one student went on to win a Nobel prize and say gotcha.
I did a 5 minutes search. There seems to be a lot of work in detecting hardware trojans. Sec 3.12 here [1] discusses some of these approaches. One line is one of the things I was thinking of when I commented. Basically, there are tradeoffs of how logically hidden the trojan is against how physically exposed it is.

> Using this defense method, any Trojan that can analyze the entire configurable structure must use complicated logic functions and take up a large silicon area, which greatly increases the possibility of being detected by security tools.

There are live methods of detecting trojans as well, where you have an additional chip checking what the CPU is doing at all times [2].

One of the main thing I have learned in my life is to not underestimate the ingenuity of cryptographers.

>LLMs are undeniably useful for programming.

I don't know. There's an idealized vision that people have in their heads of what LLMs should be in which they're "undeniably useful". It's unclear if that already exists and is just constrained by the right UX concept, or if it doesn't exist and never will.
Policy is always a hard thing to write because of its vast numbers of people trying to interpret it. Writing a policy that states "no alcohol is the best" will look like an overly draconian statement to a country that has a problem with alcohol consumption.

Alcohol is largely normalized as a party element in the US as opposed to just being an extra flavor at the dinner table. IMHO, the culture around drinking is likely what needs to change. Maybe we can shift from the "yes or no" category of the world to the "a sip might be nice to pair with X" model instead.
I noticed that too. Eventually they drew the conclusion that people just copied each other to look cool. I have no idea whether there's more to the 'hidden meanings' conjectures or not, but if you're going to dig into a topic, dig in properly. Waste of reading time in my view.
Neat, thanks! What a great project, and like any excellent project it helps get somebody on a path to customization. The hardware recommendation and even just epaper.py[1] is nice to see as a reference. Thanks for sharing!

Am I just imagining their saying that Windows 10 would be the last Windows? I had thought they would be moving to an Apple-esque model where OS updates would just become iterative and avoid the old EOL/upgrade cycle. It’s how I justified all of their tangential money-grabs on other fronts.
1,000% agree.

Saving files in Office has turned into a nightmare.

I don't understand what Microsoft is thinking with this behavior.

I'm fine with that being the default flow. But it can't even be turned off.

I imagine this design is better for non power users.

They no longer forget where they saved their files.

But for power users, this is terrible.
Here too? Never mind function colouring, async/await itself is a feature that infects entire languages.

Such a terrible abstraction of concurrency for our 1970-style languages. Zig doesn't have strings because they're too high level, but async/await is fine.
My company is largely the same. I’m an MLE and partner with data scientists. I don’t train or validate the models. I productionize and instrument the feature engineering pipelines and model deployments. More data engineering and MLOps than anything. I’m in a highly regulated industry so the data scientists have many compliance tasks related to the models and we engineers have our own compliance tasks related to the deployments. I was an MLE at another company in the very same industry before and did everything in the model lifecycle and it was just too much.
Yeah I would love for them to change the name. I always wince when talking about it to someone who doesn’t know what it is. I have fallen back to “GNU Image”with some crowds :)
Yeah there are lots of ways to normalize that might be better, but per capita isn’t uninteresting per se:

US uses roughly 2.5-3x the energy per capita compared to china fwiw [1]. The energy use per capita can be influenced by all sorts of things, including climate - for instance, SGP will always be in the top few spots on this sort of list due to the space conditioning needs. Could also be due to lots of heavy industry. Could also be due to lots of inefficient homes or high consumer demand. So it can also be interesting to look at energy use per person plotted against GDP per capita, where as expected higher energy use per capita typically also means higher GDP per capita [2]. US has significantly higher GDP per capita.

Anyways, at the end of the day, in this kind of head-to-head energy technology race, the only thing I care about really at the end of the day is decarbonization. The US has been falling each year (not fast enough though, and much of it does not actually come from renewable adoption but instead other changes like natural gas replacing coal over the last decade and changes in mfg capacity etc) while China is still rapidly increasing. Both countries need to be doing more, way more (well really the whole world).

Exactly. Raivo OTP iOS app was sold last year and recently pushed an update that deleted all users codes. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40523411. Very suspicious
Pronounced "squalm". I'd have no qualms about using squalm. Get your results in milliseconds! Squalm.
"Mindat" might be another one that fits. It is a community-built database of minerals. New minerala are still being diacovered and named by hobbyists & dealers.
Adjusting the screenshot area by dragging the center at a side helps quite a bit, as it allows you to adjust the width without risking also adjusting the height (or vice versa)

The CLI also is an option for some use cases. See man screencapture.
Will Github ever fix their Zig syntax highlighting so it's not all brown text by default?
storing things "in apps" still makes a file on a filesystem, but it's less reliable and the user doesn't know where it is
We agree change is occurring. Do we agree there are significant forces intentionally attempting to restrict the rate of change to be slower than it needs to be to achieve a favorable outcome for humanity?
I haven't read this one yet, it's on my list. If you're interested in learning a lot more about the background and context, I'd recommend:

- "Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest" by Wade Davis. I've read a lot of books on this period, and this one is the best at providing context to why they were there, how Mallory got picked, the team dynamics, and other key folks like Norton.

- "Everest - The First Ascent" by Harriet Tuckey. This one is very biased, and really about the 1952 expedition, but I like it because it really gets into what was different in the 50s vs the 20s (especially little things, like keeping healthy and properly hydrated, and cultural things like feeling like it's OK and not ungentlemanly to practice and train).

There's this idea that the '24 expedition went with the goal of getting Mallory up the mountain, but that's not really what happened at all. Mallory and Sandy Irvine (a distant relative of mine) ended up on their attempt as the result of a lot of game-time decisions made by them and the leaders of the expedition. The same decisions lead to Edward F. Norton holding the world altitude record for 30+ years, despite being far from the best mountaineer in the world, or on the expedition.
What changed in 2024 compared to 1924 when it comes to cooking your own food? Kitchen/living situations in cities were much worse then and people stayed alive then without Doordash... why is that not possible now? You even have access to more technology and food that make it easier to cook. Frozen veggies, lunch meat, supermarkets, freezers.
AI, taken seriously, really is wrap-around mobius-strip God 2.0

Like, the idea of a global integrated organism that integrates information at the speed of light, and had perfect recall, is basically Genesis.

I agree with all of this, though I think it's a little unfair to the achievements of Inkscape, which is in its own way an utterly remarkable project and could one day be the only vector graphics package that we have that really runs on our own machines without limitations. (Not to mention that it is apparently keeping a handful of ancient, reliable vinyl cutters supported long after the death of their bespoke software.)

I (a non-designer web engineer who has absorbed some skills in thirty years of hanging around a world class designer) really like Designer and would never buy Illustrator, but I really admire Inkscape.

Just as a side-note because I enjoy recommending a weird app every now and then, have you ever played with NeverCenter's CameraBag?

It looks, on the surface, like a cheap toy app. But appearances are deceptive. The filter chain tool is wildly impressive, and some of the colour curve tools are unique, getting you almost towards LUT creator tools in terms of their power.

It's not something you'll use every day but it's very interesting for visualisation, and it makes some things so easy for newbies it's worth knowing how it works just so you have a tool to recommend.

(people get annoyed when I share my full views on the way GIMP is an oft-recommended open source "alternative" app, so I won't)
so much for this earlier article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40400052

Lilly last year had to limit shipments of Mounjaro in Japan, where it’s approved for treating diabetes, amid a supply crunch. The medicine was also approved for weight loss last year in the US under the brand name Zepbound. A steady ramp up of manufacturing capacity, with investments totaling $18 billion since 2020, is starting to ease the constraint, Simone Thomsen, the company’s Japan president told Bloomberg TV on Thursday.

Just more fake news. The actual reason is not due to Japan's culture, walking, indefatigable willpower, or shaming--but more mundane reasons like Eli Lilly not actually shipping the drug to Japan. I guess that makes sense, or in invoking Occam's Razor, is a more parsimonious explanation instead of having to invent an entire cultural narrative to account for Japan not using the drug. I too was duped by Johann Hari, which does not give me much confidence in any of his other work or of Time Magazine for publishing this fake news. This is why you have to always be skeptical of narratives.
> How on earth does clout-chasing on social media encourage people to lie to wait staff at restaurants?

Some people enjoy behaving badly or feeling like they're winning.

> If there are a ton of people with cameras filming themselves breaking the law just for internet points (not smart) I'd assume there'd be a lot of examples of this right? Is this some kind of tiktok trend?

Did you ever hear about the "Kia Boys"? People were stealing Kias and posting the videos on TikTok.

https://www.theverge.com/23742425/kia-boys-car-theft-steal-t...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_Challenge

Is it common? Definitely not, except maybe in the poorest parts of cities.

But I feel like you're living in a bubble if you don't think it's happening at all. I don't use TikTok, but a lot of that kind of behavior gets posted to /r/PublicFreakout (Among other types of bad behavior). Spend time there and see what the non-polite and uncivilized members of society are doing.
I want to protest that I do have a rich internal experience as an allistic, but I don't know whether that means I'm actually autistic. :D
You should read up a bit more on how people perceived it contemporaneously. It’s too easy to absolve oneself of having to think hard about the current goings on when we can look at WWII and act like the right answer was obvious to everyone.
Mostly Signal here :)

SMS works fine and E-Mail is instant thanks to Push-Mail. Nearly no force on, others. Both standards. If they tell you the will cut the contact with you if they cannot force WhatsApp on you…that tells something about your relationship. Real friends would send letters if asked so. Right? Some would even visit you.

I think WhatsApp is a example because it shows the power of (uninformed) masses. Thanks to software incompatibility it spread everywhere and force the others to use it. Same for software which runs only on Windows, it is the incompatibility of Windows, which uses the power of masses (applications without a port) as lever.
I'd say it is too reactive to be a razor as opposed to a rule that would prevent dumbing it down too far to begin with.
Just physicists havin' fun.
It could be non-genetic as well. Various vitamin, mineral, and enzyme deficiencies, brain chemistry (that part of it that isn't genetically determined), and other health stuff could all play a role.

I am sometimes like you describe, where booze basically just makes me feel kind of slow and loopy but not in a way that is pleasant (kind of reminds me of how benzos felt). If I keep pushing to try and force the good feeling with more drinks I only end up tired and irritable, like when you wake up from a nap feeling all out of sorts.

Other times I start getting a nice pleasant "glow" or buzz going within the first half of a drink and can ride that for hours with steady imbibing. Pain is numbed, body feels lighter (paradoxically, because there is also a certain heaviness with drinking), have an easier time focusing and socializing, stress and anxiety are relieved, etc.

Too bad alcohol is so damn addictive and harmful, the latter effects are quite nice.
I used to have pull up as my ringtone, freaked my uncle out (who's a commercial pilot) when he was over for dinners. Or at least he pretended to be :P
> One really wonders about the competence of the committee which was selecting climbers for the fatal attempt.

That's not really what happened. There wasn't some committee deciding that Mallory and Irvine should go up that day - it was the result of health, weather, conditions, injuries, and politics inside the group. They were months of travel away from anything resembling a committee!
Imagine you could use Recall to train a model to do all the interactions that knowledge workers do on their computers using the exact same software, do you think there would be value in that?

I thought it was accepted that Australian megafauna went extinct due to humans. But could also be a combination of factors e.g weakened by a climatic shift then finished off by newly arrived human predators
In case anyone else was wondering, giant beavers didn’t construct dams.
Or maybe people learned about the ills of Prohibition in school and have bad memories of the War on Drugs and so a policy statement like that can sound like a threat of things to come?

That's what gets me about all this alcohol discourse, we tried this already. We passed a damn constitutional amendment, then repealed it 13 years later because it was so bad. Something something learning from the past or doomed to repeat it.

It's not always possible to design avoiding precision components though (although as you mentioned trim components could fit the bill). If you want to precisely measure current with a shunt resistor for example, you need high precision (although you can also calibrate it digitally). More than precision, which can sometimes be calibrated against, there are also various kinds of environmental stabilities that may be more important: temperature stability, pressure stability, etc. -- you'd need other forms of calibration, measurement and compensation.

Also, component-level precision has limits because eventually trace impedance starts to be significant (hence the use of trim components you mentioned!).

Youtuber Marco Reps goes through various high precision equipment that often have precision resistors and such, recommended if interested!
It should work the same in The Netherlands, but when my city had semi-technical problems with registering me at my new address, they weren't exactly forthcoming with this option.
Another good thing is that they allow for talking over them better. The same way you may sing along to an instrumental-only music track using whichever lyrics you prefer.
You could definitely script it in python
Saw a post TF4 interview with Musk where he said they will go for catch next flight unless there are some known issues during post flight analysis. He also said that the booster landed around 6km from its initial target landing coordinates. I hope that doesn't mean another ocean landing to stick the coordinates before trying chopsticks, but either way can't wait.
I think those don't care at all about the scraping but about the processing that comes after.
You talk about intelligence but then act like a zealot. Don't get me wrong, I have solar panels myself in Spain, but is not Utopia.

Solar panels use a lot of space that could be used for other things like growing food. They make the earth extremely hot as they absorb so much heat from the sun. The political zealots talk about climate change but avoid to talk about that.

It is not excuses, there is very intelligent people working on those problems. Natural gas makes a lot of sense combined with solar and wind because solar only works when the sun is above and wind when the wind blows. You need something for winter and nights. Energy storage is very expensive, and also require lots of energy and raw materials for manufacturing.

For wind mills to make sense you need wind. Lots of countries do not have wind, and also produce heat an noise and kill birds.

In Spain, when the price of the panels and inverters go down, if you have users nearby, it makes sense. In Germany, with half the insolation, it does not.

There is no "free" anything. Everything has its ups and downs.

We need less politicians, lawyers without knowledge of science and engineering.
For me it was a labyrinthitis. The extreme vertigo lasted about 10 days, after than it gradually faded away but I couldn't hear anything through my left ear. After the first month I was hearing what it seemed like an internal rubber band stretching for a few days, and then I got some hearing back. But that was it. I can only hear frequencies bellow 980hz
Correct on both counts.

Nuclear submarines feature very large, many-bladed, specially-shaped propellers often turning very slowly to reduce both noise and wear (though more the former: stealth is key to submarine operations).

Cavitation on hydraulic and steam turbines, as well as other hydraulic mechanisms, is a major source of wear and failure. Keep in mind that cavitation is equivalent to boiling, and involves both high (if localised) temperatures and extreme pressure fluctuations as cavitation bubbles form and collapse.

A couple of discussions from both perspectives:

<https://archive.navalsubleague.org/2012/a-century-of-america...>

<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00298...>

For nuclear submarines, overall efficiency isn't tremendously important, as when the sub needs to move quickly the powerplant can turn out a heck of a lot of power.

Checking just now to confirm powerplant output, I'm learning that the Virginia class of hunter-killer submarines, for which both quiet operation and speed for pursuit are concerns) use pump-jet propulsors rather than traditional bladed propellers, specifically to reduce cavitation:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia-class_submarine#Propu...>

Top speed is in excess of 25 knots. (I suspect considerably in excess, though

Powerplant is a 210 MW nuclear reactor, 280,000 HP equivalent. By contrast the Maersk E-class container-ship (largest in the world until 2012) have an 81 MW (fossil-fuel based) powerplant, 109,000 HP equivalent. The still-larger Triple-Es have two 31 MW engines (for lower total output), and the current size giant CSCL Globe 69.7 MW.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-class_container_ship>

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_E-class_container_ship>

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSCL_Globe>

And the fastest known military submarine seems to have been the K-222 Soviet Project 661 "Anchar", which could reach 41-45 knots (about 50 mph) submerged. The K-222 is slightly shorter than the Virginia class, and as hull-length has a strong effect on top speed (see hull speed: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed>, though how this relates to submarines I'm uncertain, see also Froude number: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Froude_number>), I suspect Virginia class boats could likely achieve similar speeds should the need exist.
