> it is Swift, with non copyable types that will be used for systems services and firmware

When you mention firmware, do you know of examples where Swift is used for this, or is this an aspiration? Are you talking about Swift for Arduino maybe, or do you have something else in mind?
> they will usually find that stupid stuff

I know and I don't mind, kids can have a laugh. I am just annoyed with the fact that most recommendations after are also terrible. There are plenty of popular songs they will also like. The medium is the message.

Spotify decides what is in these recommendation lists. Not actively prompting junk would have my preference. Just like you don't want school cafeterias only serving fries and donuts.
Soon llms will simply control the viewer, then Gemini will have to recommend rock/glue sandwiches to compete.
I'd wager that most people are not using any GPIO on theirs. Typical usage is likely a low power computer they can optionally plug a USB cable into; 3d print controller, home assistant w/dongle, etc.
Not that I'm aware of.

You could generate an eye diagram with an old sampling scope or BERT for probably less than $2k, but those likely wouldn't have the proper clock recovery, which means your horizontal would be sort of pointless.
You'd have to make a separate clock recovery module to sit between your USB 3.1 DUT and the instrument.

The other option would be to try and make a real-time ADC with enough BW (at Tek we demoed USB 3.1 debugging with just 10 GHz on an MSO6B, even though compliance testing requires 12 or 15 iirc) and memory depth to do the clock recovery in DSP.
This would be a very significant challenge, but might be possible, depending what ADC's are on the market now a days.

It's honestly so embarrassing that they are a 'top 5' for commercial email service made in Europe.

Proton mail is 'getting there' and I think the best we collectively have to offer but let's be honest, it's not patch on Gmail,O365, iCloud, Zoho or one of the plethora of other services that hail from the US.

Sorry, but if you're going to write the Pi5 off, do it properly

compare it to an intel n100 machine. https://www.amazon.co.uk/TRIGKEY-Lake-N100-Processor-G4-Comp... £165 16 gigs of ram, 500gig ssd.

1957 single core passmark and 5548 multicore. More importantly its 5 watts at full CPU

You can run it off 19v DC, and its physically tiny. Yes, it has a fan, but its not that loud, significantly quieter than the HP

The second hand HP is just not compelling anymore, unless you need more than one drive, or you need something physically larger.

TLDR: the PI isn't great for KVM. The n100 is.

I have a mix of n100s, NUCs and Pis. Each has their purpose. If you really want cheap ephemeral linux, then the pi-zero is still dirt cheap. £20 for a linux machine with wifi.
Not GP, but nothing wrong with kubernetes per se. It is simply unnecessary.

You can get to gigantic success and extraordinary scale by growing vertically, without needing to add a very complex layer that kubernetes is.

Think of the many literal millions of lines of code, and thus, potential bugs and liabilities one inherits by "just using kubernetes".

It's not a requirement, neither problematic. Its simply unnecessary for anything remotely resembling a "one-person tech startup".

Besides unnecessary features like horizontal scaling, necessary features like restarting a service already exist, and most likely are already installed in the base distro and being used by the rest of the system. Its not like this couldn't be done before, all kubernetes provides is a conveniet and streamlined package for all that, at the cost of black-hole levels of extra complexity via several added indirections.

I'm not underestimating. All I'm saying if someone pays 10k or more for an exploit against ssh/nginx/whatever, nobody is gonna pepper your server with it. They will sell it to a broker and pocket the money, end of story.

You will be targeted if your server seems to be the lowest hanging fruit or most easily exploitable or the target is most easily reachable through your site. Otherwise noone will bother with your setup.
people here are not thinking in whole systems-- roads have dual purpose.. there is security AND there is trade .. a world without trade is a poor world.. that includes the intellectual arts, civilian institutions cooperating, common issues like Climate.

So wait; they start by saying that anonymity protects dissidents from criticism. Fair enough; then she applies that logic to smartphones, and says that she agrees with digital anonymity unless you're considered a dissident by the state.

How would John Locke, Marx or Kierkegaard protect themselves from an absolutist state if they were all publishing their ideas under a government-documented pseudonym?
My understanding of the history here is that scientific understanding of the nature of animals was based on folklore, attributing supernatural properties to animals and their behavior. Scientists agreed to throw all that out, and rightfully so, in preference for an evidence-based approach. And what we're seeing today, is that despite a couple centuries of assuming that animals are pure instinct-driven automatons, we have tons of evidence that they are individuals with intelligence, memory, feelings, preferences and even language. Where "they" spans the range from bees to whales.

The assumptions of the recent centuries weren't so much anthropocentric, but a rejection of folklore as literal truth. While some are still attached to an anthropocentric worldview, that perspective seems dead among people who study animal behavior.
I did something in between - I kept the physically small systems (Landisk, VAXstation VLC, Mac LC III+, Mac Quadra 610, Cobalt Raq, EdgeRouter, various Pis, et cetera) and some of the more useful larger ones (Amiga 4000, VAXstation 4000/60 and 4000/90, AlphaServer DS25), and I put them to use building NetBSD pkgsrc packages so they're useful.

Considering the fact that I paid less than $100 for the VAXstation 4000/60, for instance, and they go for > $1000 on eBay these days, I'm glad I kept all my VAX hardware. While 286 systems don't cost quite as much, the prices are only going to go up.

Ask HN: Should I still Open Source my commercial products?
Nowadays, nobody gives credits anymore on someone’s Open Source work. Everyone boasts they did it all only by themselves when they copy someone’s work, or iterate on someone else’s idea on Github.

This got me thinking, should I still do open source on commercial products as people nowadays has no regards and moral values in terms of someone’s work.
Yup, did it for my BSc. There was plenty of modules to pick, I just went for the ones that I thought would give me the best experience.

Also wrote a toy kernel, with scheduler etc.

All great fun.
I replace my desktop approximately every 5 years.

Collectibles are entirely based on that. In fact, I'd say they're defined by it -- if there's little chance of missing out on something, then that thing isn't a collectible. How big of a role this plays (and sustainably so) in other kinds of goods is less clear, although discount sales are exactly about creating this kind of fear -- or, conversely, rare opportunity -- and they do work. Regularly scheduled sales, on the other hand, work more by creating a price differentiation, where people to whom a product is worth less than the regular retail price can choose to wait.
“Knows about everything yet understands nothing.”
whats funny about sound is in an environment with multiple creatures it can be hard to isolate one from the other, but with visual pictures it is somewhat easy.

in pictures you have a 2d projection of 3d information, with time as optional. animals dont have the same 3d position at the same time so its rare for one to be occluding the other in the projection.

in sound you have to have time, sound without time has basically no meaning. but with one mic its a 1 dimensional signal varying over time, coming from a 3d environment. where creatures easily overlap each other in the time dimension.

AL generated text is not the problem. Researchers can use it to cheat, but also to express their own ideas in a better English.

Scientific language is 'dry' and limited, so the same phrase structure can be (and will be) used in many different papers by different authors, just with minor changes that suit the theme.

Even more, scientific articles repeat a lot of their content, just because this is how things work in science.

Most researchers in a field would describe the same method exactly in the same way, just applied to different samples. Because is the same and just providing a link can be inconvenient if your readers can't access to that article.

Articles in the same field will share also a lot of its bibliography. AI would have a really hard time understanding why including the same cite in many articles is not plagiarizing or a problem. AI would need to be able to split the text in two parts. A part where to have a high percentage of similarities is acceptable, and other part where the opposite is the correct outcome. Both parts would be spread here and there among different and non-consecutive paragraphs, so is not a trivial task.

Blocking an article because a phrase has been used previously would be like forbidding musicians to use the word "love" in the lyrics of their songs from now on.
That ... doesn't apply when the topic at hand is the validity of oft-repeated conventional wisdom. In that case, the real anti-pattern to pretend that the conventional wisdom actually means a specific (sane) interpretation that lives only in one HN poster's head.[1]

Which, coincidentally, is the very thing I was criticizing.

It's really bizarre to see "be charitable in discussions" used to defend Orwellian reinterpretation of bad advice no one actually follows.

Perhaps realistic physically, but not emotionally.

It's truly bizarre to watch these talking heads because their lips are moving, but their eyes and cheeks aren't moving along with them, except for blinking.

Real people speak with their whole face, not just their lips.

Of course, to do that "right", you need to actually understand the emotional content of what is being spoken. And I'm not talking about highly "emotional" content like in TV drama -- even in a technical presentation, the speaker's face contains lots of emotional signals. Whether warmth, or a sense of humor, or being proud, or excitement of what they're about to reveal, or curiosity about whether the audience understands, etc.

Yes in that it would allow you to run your ruby scripts "as the standalone OS". No in that it's not a way to package the ruby script to just run as a standalone executable on different existinging OSs (without standing up a dedicated virtual machine on the host to do so).

Mostly clarifying that for those who have a certain meaning of what a standalone executable means to them already in their head.
(1) is not true, for example 2^6 - 1 = 63 which has a factor 3^3.
The point isn't that we should be anyone other than ourselves. We can only be ourselves and we are out best version when comfortable with that. It's simply that learning to express ourselves with kindness and understand the importance of it will make us even more effective.

Also consider this case. A manager writes a couple of glowing letters of recommendations for a couple of former employees that did great on the job. Wonderful. Now a poor performer asks and the manager doesn't feel comfortable writing a recommendation at all: either they'd risk having to be candid or there's simply no basis for "recommendation" and so the manager refuses.

Well, now even the omission/refusal to write such a letter might get you sued. A policy that says our managers just don't write such letters is absolutely the safest. 1) the company and its managers don't identify in any way their thoughts on performance in a way that might be found prejudicial; 2) they avoid the risk of a poorly worded recommendation that could be called prejudicial; 3) they avoid having to monitor the standards and risks of such statements across possibly many managers that might write such letters absent such a rule.

This is how every single music recommendation system works, though. If you listen to metal, you get metal recommendations. If you listen to immature poop songs, you get those back too.

There isn't a switch you can flick that adds taste to your kid's listening habits. There isn't a single paid music service that offers that, outside the parental controls switch to disable explicit music. Spotify won't change this because their highly-relevent feedback loop is why people (myself included) still pay for their service in the first place.

I wish you luck, but being angry at Spotify for not changing your kid's listening habits is a bit solipsistic.
I bought a few used NUCs for $150 each, they're amazing home servers. Much, much faster, more capable, more flexible than a Pi, at only twice the price.
Sure, I agree that these guarantees still have to stand the test of time. So far they're holding up quite well.
No, I don't agree with that, they're first party terms so the only law that would impact it is if the UK said "you MUST NOT protect users privacy or you'll go to jail" that won't happen. They would only revoke default protection, which doesn't matter as the protection is expressly contractual.

Passing, revoking or changing a UK law is not an instant thing either, trust me. So the only difference in those scenarios are that Portugal leaving the EU would take a bit longer than the UK removing a law from the statutes? So essentially there's no difference whatsoever?
Neither is rampant pedantry. Either you grasp the concept that government services and institutions literally make society possible and cost money or you don't.

This is a quite a stupid argument.

a) it's totally the same for any other PC: you just order another 'in literally seconds'

b) if you don't like a second hand PSU then order a new one in the first place

This seems to misunderstand kind

Kindness reduces barriers to accepting the honest truth and is thus part of maximizing honesty and realism.
Most people are nice (convention, norm, culture, etc.) to conform to a set of rules, being kind is the exception to the rule.
> You can do whatever you want, I'm just sharing if my manager says "we won't know how to fix a bug in the xyz service if you were hit and killed by the bus", my response will be "I don't really give a f what happens at this stupid company after I die".

So? The company isn't going to let all their employees starve to death out of compassion for the one that did die.

They know you don't give a fuck about what happens after you're dead, but they're still alive, and they have to keep things running so that they can continue eating.

Telling people that you don't care what effect your death has on them is a pretty good way to indicate how selfish you are.
Not bad - I've consed "French" onto it and put it above.
We need to ban the word "conscious" until people can agree on what it means.

That being said, its obvious to me that many animals have similar emotional complexity to humans, and many outperform humans on some cognitive tasks.

Humans have complex language, and that's about it, to separate us from other animals.

> Attributing consciousness to animals based on their responses was seen as a cardinal sin. The argument went that projecting human traits, feelings, and behaviours onto animals had no scientific basis and there was no way of testing what goes on in animals’ minds.

What's always been funny to me about the scientific approach to animal consciousness/emotions/empathy is that in a perfectly rational world the default assumption would be that animals and humans exist along a spectrum and there isn't a sharp cliff where humans are 100% conscious and empathetic but dogs are 0%. The claim that humans are categorically different than other animals is the extraordinary one, not the claim that we are made of mostly the same stuff.

The only reason why animal consciousness has been controversial historically is a religious one—the Bible has typically been read as placing humanity in a category of its own. And yet we see countless secular scientists clinging to that perspective when even a cursory glance at the evidence and a basic application of Occam's razor would suggest the opposite.
