Which is Qualcomm trying to have it both ways:

They don't agree since 2022 that Nuvia's related IP must be destroyed on termination of that license agreement, because they expect to own it due to a different license-agreement they have with ARM, but argue that ARM, the owner of the licensed architecture in question, should have destroyed all information, already KNOWING that Qualcomm intends to fight this contract.

So in turn, for ARM to defend itself in this case moving forward, Qualcomm's implication is that ARM should ask Qualcomm to provide the required information to them. But the whole case of ARM is that Qualcomm is NOT the rightful owner of this information.

-

It's also quite a visible move just to delay the proceedings.

Qualcomm states [1] that they learned this new evidence at (ARM's) Mr. Agrawal’s deposition on Dec.12 2023, contacted ARM "less than three weeks" after that to "meet and confer", but "ARM would not meaningfully engage until January 16".

Less than 3 weeks after Dec.12 2023 is NYE, between Dec.28 and Jan.03, ARM obviously responded (but did not "engage meaningfully" according to Qualcomm)

At the point Qualcomm considers ARM showing meaningful engagement, they met within 3 days, on a Friday. And on Jan.22, "the next business day", they contacted the court.

So ARM's legal team was not available to meet at NYE, didn't respond "meaningfully" immediately and an appropriate meeting-slot agreed by ARM and Qualcomm was only possible more than a month after that deposition...

>As a libertarian, if there's one thing I don't like about Libertarianism[0], it is specifically the economists.

I have the opposite experience.

Like every libertarian group I was in shit their pants and lit their hair on fire when covid hit.

Most established libertarian thinkers (at least the ones I largely identify with) looked at it both A rationally and B as old vulnerable people and actually appraised the situation with a modicum of sense.

Heck I got banned from an economic historians page, because I was on the friendslist of someone who was screeching at him about covid being 5g or something. He just cleaned house.

>The biggest adaptation is going to be people moving out of their home countries, which isn't an option for the vast majority of humanity. Immigration is not recognized by most countries as a right. If we bake the Middle East or Africa and it becomes unlivably hot, the answer countries are going to choose isn't going to be "admit hundreds of millions of climate refugees". I'm absolutely one of those "migration is a human right" people, and if David Friedman is anything close to consistent, he'll be too. But most governments are run by people who vehemently disagree with that and you're not going to sell people on open borders as an alternative to climate change mitigation.

Yeah this is true. Even within a single country, if a certain area becomes unihabitable, people will (likely by force) migrate to where it remains habitable. I put this as an argument to some people claiming Australia is more mighty than Indonesia.

Indonesias fishing fleet, is mostly 100% capable of coming to Australia. (people have crossed that water in jetskis, stopping to refuel) They have roughly 600,000 ships. Like counting everything above a canoe that has to register with their authorities. If they coordinate even a little bit, theres nothing 3 frigates and 4 growlers could meaningfully do to slow that down. They will make landfall and probably take over north australia. Heck they could make multiple trips. And thats not including Indonesias military or shipping fleets. Thats just fishing. The average capacity of these boats is like 8 people. 16 if overloaded. Thats heaps of people. Lots of people will die in the attempt but if they are driven from their homes and hey happen to be adjacent to the ocean its game over.
If you want a more declarative approach to Homebrew: ‘brew bundle’ uses ‘Brewfile’s for this. You can share these on macOS and Linux and add similar conditionals.

Not nearly as reproducible but: this is something I’m working on. Stay tuned…
Above I said Norway "had a long-standing tradition of democracy and rule of law ensuring government accountability". I think it is that tradition that matters far more than having a small vs large population. As far as population goes I think what matters is how homogenous the population is such that there is a general feeling of all being "in the same tribe". A population that has large identifiable groups (blacks, whites, latios, asians, Jews, Indians, ...) can have these groups not caring for each other and even working against each other vs sharing and cooperating with each other. I think multiculturalism is far better than ethno-nationalism however it is also far harder than ethno-nationalism.
Encryption isn’t the problem here, it’s key management.

How to Use Engineering Metrics
I use Linux at home but when I got my work MacBook I was able to get an identical setup (shell aliases, git config, shell plugins, nvim, etc etc) with very minimal effort and not needing to understand a macOS way of installing all these programs like with e.g. homebrew.

Declarative, reproducible, and no fiddling with macOS specific stuff.

Plus, we had instructions in our wiki for dealing with homebrew package installation failures and conflicts with macOS-installed versions of required software, needing to install other programs like Ruby version manager, etc to fix these issues. but with Nix I just setup a devshell and got the exact version we needed installed with no issues.

And this can be pinned and reproduced for every developer using Nix, eliminating the hassle for everyone.
The scale is so much less since high compensation workers tend to be brought in legally (or kept out of the country so that they're not counted in the wage disparity)
I love tmux. I don't think this is a replacement for it. At most, for `screen`. I use tmux locally for my day to day work. I have different named sessions for different things I'm doing (switching back and forth) and I have multiple windows and panes. The best thing is that I can switch terminal emulators without having to learn any new keyboard shortcuts.
> important one to figure out if land value taxes are to succeed in practice.

LVTs have succeeded in practice over the long term in many places. Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, parts of Europe (Hungary?)

Of course it's all a question of how high the land tax is. In Australia it's generally 1.5 percent or thereabouts. So it's one of many taxes. A long way from the Georgist ideal of LVT as a single tax. Perhaps that's what you are getting at more with this point?

> the imposition of a LVT would seriously lower land values

I think you need to compare to overall property taxes. Compared to them LVTs have distinct advantages in not encourage run down buildings or empty lots (e.g. car parking lots).
Could in theory work as carbon sequestration. Not effective one, but still.
What’s the point of this. Just buy gold bars. Good luck convincing people you actually have custody of these gold bars.
Lovely; a monthly sub to an article talking about monthly subs. You have to realise I will never, ever, going to pay ‘thebaffler’ and especially an article explaining that everyone wants subscriptions in a site that gives me one article and the rest is a subscription.

There is some backslash, however besides brand recognition, Apple has taken all the steps to approach this with security first, features second, to the point that they even have a special OS version for the server side, unikernel style, everything taken away not needed to AI compute or networking, using Swift, and the secure enclave.

> It's an authentic experience.

In many cases its the exact opposite, it's authenticity sold to you as an experience, and thus Clubhouse was born. Exclusivity as a service, about as authentic as Westworld. Which was obviously true for a lot of historical clubs as well, they're often just commercial spaces where you get to feel exclusive and that is most of the draw. It's no accident that so many of these new private online communities are crypto, AI tech or VC centric and were born coincidentally enough when a lot of money poured into them.

If you want to see real interesting things in tech watch Andrej Karpathy rebuild GPT-2 from scratch on Youtube, everyone can follow along. That's authentic technology and science, it's all open these days.

I drive a twenty year old Volvo, and I went to a dealer to buy a new one a few months ago. I didn't buy anything because basic functions are all behind crappy screen UIs instead of good old buttons.

I would definitely pay an extra $1,000 for a version with actual buttons... and a smaller screen.
Class components was the last good react idea.

As usual with these kinds of things, European standards bodies to the rescue [1]:

>Euro NCAP – Europe’s leading automotive safety industry body – has stated that from 2026 new guidance will be introduced over physical buttons and touchscreens.

>Euro NCAP’s rules are not mandatory for manufacturers to follow, but the threat of losing points will likely impact the decisions of many of the leading brands in the years ahead.

Although I would prefer a hard ban of touchscreen-only car controls in EU countries, which would obviously have more of an impact.

Additionally, they messed up so much the WinRT/UWP/WinUI developer experience, that most of us that advocated for the technology, feel betrayed and aren't going to advocate for anything else, other than regular .NET and the pre-Windows 8 desktop technologies.
Who is 'you' in this context?

If one parent is working, the other home with the kids, chances are that the one working can't take as much time off or has a harder time setting a healthy work-life balance (increasing your pay requires working harder).

Using myself as an example: the only reason I can pick up my kid early from the kindergarten and spend quality time with him is because I can afford to not work 9-5 every day due to my wife also working.

The new information comes from our choice in how to generate that data. We're not just blindly making synthetic data, we come up with clever way to generate synthetic data that is hopefully high quality and can improve our models (and if it doesn't, we don't use it).

Ah yes, the Bovine Blitzer.
Ah, I stand corrected. Not sure where I found that high number.
DTMF signalling restricts what you can dial over a traditional PSTN line. In practice you can only dial what a regular landline phone can dial. * and # are used to signal commands rather than calling numbers. There are another 4 DTMF signals, but CPEs don't generally use them.

So that leaves you with just the 10 digits. Which can be easily stored in an integer, which can then be formatted reliably for humans according to the international numbering plan.

Like IP addresses, phone numbers are just numbers. You can fuck about all you like by adding funny letters and brackets and complicated parsers (just like you can add dots and colons to an IP address), OR you can just store them as normalised E164 numbers, which will work everywhere and for which there are clear formatting rules. Just like you can store an IP address as an IP address datatype in most databases.

Almost nobody wants to store the NZ time service or 911 or anything else in a large database. Nobody is dialling an extension number over the PSTN network - that's like trying to include the port number in an IP address and calling it ... an IP address. Such numbers should be stored somewhere else.

Ask HN: How to make companies try and buy my product?
I started a startup last year for which I got initial interest in product. However, that dried up quickly. I pivoted once to a new product, however, we are not seeing a good response.

Every channel that we avail, whether that's LinkedIn or Email or Twitter is flooded. It is very hard to get response from people. I offer gift card but that also does not work well.

I saw "talk to the users" probably 5 times. How can I talk to the users if they don't respond? I don't have anyone in my network who could provide honest feedback.

What can I to do make people try and then buy my product?

Alternately, how can I find product that people will pay for?
This is what happened in NZ.

how many papers are you reading? A single text file where you write down the 1-2 big ideas / insights in each paper will go a long way.

You don’t need perfect notes, just enough to jog the memory for random access. Less is more.

https://www.connectedpapers.com/ is nice for discovery.
XLWings – the product made by the author of this post – lets you do exactly that. You can make a Python script that connects to a live Microsoft Excel process, iterates over sheets and cells, reads/writes data to them, etc.

I’ve used it at work some years ago, and it’s a great product.
It is almost impossible to know which work is truly moving things forward though. A release early, release often approach to publications make sense I think - but the research methodology must be sound. No fudging of the stats, data, conclusions.

- Enforce pre registration

Sometimes there's only a single tax allowed. Like in the US the federal government can only tax income unless they change the constitution.

LVT as the single tax would be much harder to repeal.
The single pixel example is wrong I think, because that’s not how light and eyes work - you can always spot a single point of light, regardless of how small - if it’s bright enough.

"Confidence" is the wrong word. Confidence is a capability of thinking, sentient beings, and LLMs are not that.

I say this to point out the futility in your post; "bluffing" is a perfectly fine thing for the GP to say, because it gets the point across. All of us here should know that an LLM can't actually bluff. (And if you'd prefer a different term, remember that not everyone on HN speaks English as their first language, and may not immediately come up with a more appropriate way of phrasing it.)

> “IKEA respects the rights of co-workers to join, form or not to join a union of their choice without fear of reprisal, interference, intimidation or harassment,” a spokesperson said.

From my understanding, it's illegal to not say this in the US - or at least, saying something that would contradict any of it will land you in hot water with NLRB.

How much they actually respects the rights of workers, is another question.
His parents worked hard and earned it so they could do with it what they like - such as benefiting their children. Nothing wrong with that.
That's the version they released as an "open" model. Their SD3 model behind an API works just fine, the released medium model has been basically been lobotomized to hell and back in the name of "safety", because apparently human anatomy is icky and nipples are the devil. Unfortunately, that sort of heavy handed model lobotomizing leads to nasty side effects that turn even innocent renders of people into Eldritch nightmares as the model has been forced to forget that a human doesn't have limbs growing out of random places.
Just because a fungus eventually breaks it down doesn't imply that it's "harmless". It can (and does) still accumulate in organisms and has many undesirable effects, including the human body. It can s easily end up in the food chain as long as it's not broken down, including areas where the fungus is not effective, which are plenty.

The only difference such a fungus can make is that it could break down in certain pockets in nature in the long run.

> Margaret Hamilton worked out how to write bug-free software during the Apollo 11 project. The IT industry collectively went, "meh."

I have tried to look into this before, and I never can find much information about it. Last I checked, her homepage was basically trying to sell some proprietary system to customers who have bought into her marketing about "bug-free software". But actually trying to figure out how it works, or how to do it oneself, has remained elusive. Saying "The IT industry collectively went, 'meh.'" is kind of misleading. It's not exactly clear _what_ she worked out, but I'm skeptical of the claim that she "worked out how to write bug-free software". And if she did, she isn't exactly shouting from the rooftops about how to do it.
Here is some brand new level of bullshit happening: they are deploying these NPU on all new processors. But with ZERO proper user consent and control.

The bare minimum of proper operating system or driver feature is that I can choose NO I dont want anything running on my NPU, unless I approve it specifically. Fuck youtube's new eyeball tracking on their ads running on MY hardware without the slightest consent.
It's insane how toxic the js environment is. it seems like if a project is over 6 months old, nothing will work. When I yarn install on an old project, i'm rolling the dice. I had a 2 year old next.js side project i was working on and the amount of work to make it work the latest version with just updating the dependencies and reading the upgrade docs were infinitely more complex than just starting over from scratch.

no thanks. I will stick with Rails.

Are you talking about devices, organisational methods, overall management, or what?

A large-format (10" or 13") e-ink reader works well for the actual reading. These tend to be lighter, and have far better battery performance, than an emissive tablet. There are colour e-ink readers as well, though these max at about 10" AFAIK, and command a price premium. Smaller displays can be used, though you'll find yourself zooming and panning through pages of lower-quality and/or smaller-font papers (all too common in academic publishing).

Get a device with ample storage. Particularly if you find yourself using the device for other purposes (e.g., podcasts). I'd consider 128 MB minimum acceptable storage, and would go up considerably from there if possible. Apple's tablets can be obtained with 1 TB+ storage, and that's not unreasonable. Cost of storage is really minimal compared to the overall device cost. I eliminated the Remarkable tablet for its absolutely inexcusably insufficient storage (16 MB IIRC), validated by the company's later pivot to cloud-based accounts (thanks, but no).

Few ebook-readers have organisational capabilities anywhere remotely up to the task, and little of what software does exist run on these.

For organisation:

Physical: An index-card file / Zettelkasten. Academics and other researchers can compile archives over their lifetimes of many tens of thousands of cards, filling cabinets. Niklas Luhmanns's archive is one of the most exemplary, site in German: <https://niklas-luhmann-archiv.de/nachlass/zettelkasten>. There are numerous essays and articles with more information on his use and system.

Software: Calibre and Zotero seem to be the main preferences. I ... can't really grok either, frankly. If you don't mind mainlining all your reading straight to Elsevier, there's the Mendeley reference manager. (I mind this in the extreme.)

There are also some archive / media management tools which can run off-device. I believe Plex is one of these, though I've really not looked into this. This can be run on a small server or NAS if you have sufficient articles.

There are tools for online web article management, notably Mozilla Pocket (I've used it heavily, I find it all but useless), Wallabag (<https://wallabag.org/>), and Pinboard (<https://pinboard.in/>). Maintainer of the latter is active on HN.

IMO the ultimate tools have yet to be created, though I lean heavily toward index cards myself.

I don't know if gwern (<https://gwern.net/>) has a specific method / system, but suspect they'd have a highly informed response on this topic.
