In the US and Canada it is very common to have a furnace that delivers heated air in residential houses.

That's the irony of this announcement. The only problems I ever suffered on ChromeOS came from the Android subsystem.
There are a bunch of minimalist session persistence solutions, including now shpool. If you want layout, there's a minimalist program called `dvtm` that provides those capabilities.

The suggestion usually is to run dvtm inside of dtach/shpool/abduco/diss for layout, and separating the concerns that way.
You just omitted the very next sentence.

There is nothing wrong with this expectation. For example, Librem 11 tablet runs a desktop OS without any restrictions. You can use it as a replacement for a laptop.
If they care about price, why are they buying iPhones? Just convenience?

It’s a bit moot without surveying users, and I’m sure those surveys exist somewhere. But I don’t accept at face value that users don’t care about privacy.
> It's a collective action problem. One person's subscription will not make the difference needed to improve journalism enough for them to get a direct benefit. Further, the main benefit would be that it exposes corruption, which doesn't generally impact individuals. Corruption's effects are spread amongst all the tax payers. Each individual is better off not subscribing and reaping the benefits of others' subscriptions, but everyone suffers if local journalism isn't funded.

The broader the benefit, the broader the appropriate tax base is. If this is for local journalism and is as important as you say (I have major doubts), then it should be funded by a broader tax base than streaming subscribers. I.e. The future of corruption free democracy shouldn’t be on the shoulders of streaming subscribers. If it is so important it should be funded by income taxes.

Asimov writing about his intent

> But don't they say, only bad writers explain themselves?

...No? If someone says that, why do you believe them? That frankly sounds like a pretty stupid and lazy claim about the world. One of the most interesting parts of, for example, Tolkien analysis is his abundant notes and letters working out his intent and meaning.
We have a Quest 2 and it's decent enough. Games look good, things look "good enough" for the most part.

I did an in-store demo of the Vision Pro the other day and things look great for the most part. It's impressive, and everything it does is really interesting.
Two things stood out to me.

First, it's HEAVY. The demo was 3 or 4 minutes long and I was already feeling it.

Second, I have no idea why I'd want to use a real computer like this. It looks like they're trying to sell it as a real work computer and entertainment device. But to me at least, it looks like a less good laptop/desktop and way overkill to replace a phone. It would be interesting to try at home if it was more like $1000, but I saw no reason at all to consider it for purchase at the current price.

I could see no problem it solved, or as a replacement for anything I already own. I'm not sure how that gets rescued by any changes other than making it cheap.
I don't think the pushback was ridiculous.

The "opt-in" you're speaking of was leaving the API key textbox blank.

My understanding is that this being filled in with anything is enough to have iTerm potentially send commands to OpenAI. There are also many companies that reject any applications that integrate with 3p AI services, which iTerm would have been caught up with.

Once your labor of love is used by hundreds of thousands/millions of people, then it's not unreasonable to receive complaints when the maintainer makes an unpopular decision. Not everyone has time to fork and maintain their own copy.
Far from being weeded out by the process the process encourages this type of behavior and rewards it.

The review process is completely broken because it gives the reviewers no actual ability to change anything so 99% of the time it's just a rubber stamp.
That was indeed my guess.
And sure, I am biased. That was my dad's life. That was his story. He made the call to leave India hoping to improve his career by moving to Australia and then the United States. He considered moving back multiple times, but could not bring himself to do so, not because of the lack of good opportunities, but because of the lack of civic sense.

There are people in India who work super hard (which he really likes), but then there are people who are so selfish, driving on the sidewalk in the opposite direction, get upset because the ambulance is speeding to the hospital and refuse to move and block it intentionally, taking all kinds of shortcuts and opportunities to cheat each other instead of conducting business honestly, etc. No good treatment of women.

It's messy and it needs to get more organized to do anything meaningful in terms of R&D in that country.
I don't really have a problem with that to be honest. As a society we accept all sorts of risks if there is a commensurate gain in utility. That would be left to be seen in your example of course, but if it was a lot more useful I think it would be worth it.
Buffering seems to have been chunked for a long time now, though. Ten years ago we could buffer an entire video. Now it’s limited to about 5% at a time. I guess that’s how the chunked HLS streams and such work, and YT could probably avoid serving certain chunks without some unique token received from watching the ad.
They should buy Grok (the hardware inference company, not the lame twitter bot).
As I understand it electron beam lithography exists as a technology (and is maybe used for reticles? not sure) but the throughput is way too low for production. Its several orders of magnitude slower than euv apparently.
This is not a difference between ChromeOS and Android. ChromeOS is replete with binary vendor blobs, which is why the webcams, wifi, and touchpads work correctly on Chromebooks and poorly or not at all on other laptops running vanilla Linux.
I’d always thought “power users” toggled this type of stuff off by switching to Lineage or similar and having full control.
I'd never heard of GJK before, but as I remember it, there's a lot of mileage to be gained in computational geometry from applying these kinds of "shape algebra" options in different combinations. And there are plenty of problems that can be adapted to computational geometry formulations by working in the state space.

I think deep learning draws on the same pool of concepts as well.
the sad thing is that the organizations that dont have any fun, that are focussed on the serious, soul crushing business of making sure no beans get dropped, are generally really awful at keeping track of the beans.
Wasn't there something a bit like that with the Morandi bridge that collapsed in Italy?

(There was definitely something like that with the Mottarone cable car that had been running for years with the safety catch disabled. When the tow-rope snapped, wiht no catch, the cabin rushed down and killed everyone on board.)
I think this makes no sense, as web development is not the same as mobile app development.

Cgroups is a kernel feature, parent is talking about the userspace stack for managing containers. Google uses LXC in crosvm, and didn't have to program it from scratch.

I think you are making the wrong assumption that Apple is building the computers that people are vocal about or ask for. Nobody asked for any of the computers they are selling today, but some users have some wishes, sure.
I love Apple bashing. I really do. People complaining about one of the most successful companies on Earth having some of the most-loved products. They may as well just wear a t-shirt emblazoned with the phrase "I'm Stupid!" You certainly want to keep those people away from your business because they don't understand success.

Getting back to TFA, actually AI is the killer feature for a keyboard-challenged device such as the iPhone and iPad. Why use your fingers to tap, gesture, and manipulate when you can simply speak what to do? The catch, of course, is whether Apple can actually make it work. It's been a while since anyone has been impressed by Siri, so we'll see.

But integrating AI across your local system to improve your workflow? That's actually pretty damn genius - if they can make it work. Apple is stellar in the world of hardware, but unfortunately, they're still hit-or-miss in the world of software. Here's hoping that "Apple Intelligence" is a hit!
I've built DE and AI solutions based on Pathway for multiple clients. It's robust and fast.
There is some difference between fine-tuning with PyReft / PeFT, the approaches here are more on-the-fly. Like you can regenerate the control vectors from prompts in a few seconds.
Once you scroll past the annoying popup, you’ll see that they are removed but only in Russia. Headline conveniently leaves this part out.
I don't think it's going to happen unless we decide to nationalize private services that are vital to people.

Why don't we have a public maps system, or a content sharing platform? Services like google maps/search or youtube by now are part of the infrastructure of our society.

The same way as roads/railways or energy production are publicly owned in many countries the same should happen for digital services. In good parts of Europe railways are publicly built and maintained while the trains are privately owned.
You should look into the sheer amount of industrial espionage that Japan did in the United States and Soviet Union post WW2. It is mind boggling. We started legally transferring and licensing technology to them so that at least we would make some money back.
> I was expecting they will make newer iPads more open than previous ones.

Why? Did you seriously expect Apple to make major changes to their product strategy because it's not working out well for you, when clearly it's working out pretty well for Apple? Was there anything underlying your expectation other than wishful thinking?
It’s mostly called full stack [app] developer, app is optional. It is mostly prevalent in internet of things jobs.
I think that it could be "security as a feature"

Usually, a feature is included in a product if the marketing show that it will grow the business more than the cost of the feature. Maybe we can try the same idea ?

"We identified this vulnerability, and it will impact X % of our customer and Y % will leave (+ reputation damage) so we will loose BIGNUMBER $. However, we can correct it for SMALLNUMBER $ in Z days. Decision ?"
People here don't seem to realize the importance of Canadian content rules in maintaining a cohesive national identity and supporting local content producers. The overwhelming barrage of U.S. media necessitates funding the creation of Canadian content, artists and points of view.
This "power" is hypothetical unless you are willing to DIY all the drivers, which you will be writing blindly without datasheets. Vanilla Linux doesn't support IPU6 webcams, Qualcomm WiFi 7 chips, and dozens of other common parts.
SpaceX has been printing the Draco and Super Draco engines for the Dragon capsule for many years. It’s a proven technology at this point.

With 3D printing you can create geometries that are simply not possible with any other manufacturing processes.

The issue is not 3D printing. The issue is deluding yourself by thinking that somehow 3D printing is magical and you get to skip qual. You don’t.

You can't write apps for the Vision Pro on the Vision Pro. As a computer it is less powerful than the Apple II
the price of h100 reflects and reflected the fact that there is a total monopoly in the training sector,

amd is successfully attacking the inference sector, increasing its advantage with mi325 and aiming for training from 2025 with mi350 (and Infinity Fabric interconnect and other types of interconnection that are arriving for the various topologies), which will probably have an advantage over blackwell, and then fall back against rubin and come back ahead against mi400,

at least, this is what it seems, and as long as the rocm continues to improve.

Personally I am happy to see some competition in the sector and especially on open source software
>Indigenous content, and content created by and for equity-deserving communities

You are right but what about the second and third items: what does “equity-deserving” mean to you? In many cases in business and academia it means “not white”.
> You pretty quickly shifted the goal posts there didn't you?

No my dude. You said "These numbers are always pretty BSy because the big dangers in flight are take-off and landing." That is a statement about these kind of statistics in general, not in specific to Boeings. But sure. How many accidents had Boeing during take-off or landing?

> You're also misreading your stats (that's per sector, not per million)

Negative. To quote "All accident rate (accidents per one million flights)" What is even per sector?

> Your site

Not my site? Are you arguing from good faith here?

> If you do an apples to apples comparison, vehicles would be some orders of magnitude safer than jets, trip for trip.

I will let everyone know who is considering commuting by jet twice a day for 14.6 miles.
I’m a AI Scientist and train a lot of models. Personally I think AMD is undervalued relative to Nvidia. No, chips aren’t as fast as Nvidia’s latest and yes, there are some hoops to get things working. But for most workloads in most industries (ignoring for the moment that AI is likely a poor use of capital), it will be much more cost effective and achieve about the same results.
Then I guess Rhodium is the largest metal and the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station is the largest building in Britain.

If you conflate value with size, both terms become near useless. Value can only mean something in relation to something else.

Picture this: You have a large company with thousands of employees having similar revenue to their competitor, which accomplishes the same with one employee and a much smaller operation.

Which one is likely to be more valuable? Obviously the smaller one. If we however conflate value with size, as is so often done in popular economics, just pointing out this single fact becomes a complicated exercise of having to carefully employ language that we neutered for no good reason at all. Not to speak of all the misunderstandings this is going to create with people who aren't used to this imprecise use of the English language.

If you mean revenue, say revenue, if you mean value, say value, if you mean size, say size. Don't use "large" to say "valuable". Why would you do that if there's a perfectly good word already? Imprecise language is often used to either confuse or leave open an avenue to cover one's ass later... which brings us back to popular economics.
I worked at Microsoft the entire time period covered in this article. I've interacted with MSRC on multiple issues with the product team I'm on. My experience inside Microsoft is not at all consistent with what the whisteblower is saying, for what it's worth. It's completely unrecognizable, in fact - and I'm having a hard time reconciling what I'm seeing with what I'm reading here.
> You might want to read the actual article.

ProPublica articles in general are structured in a way that makes them a pita to extract actual useful information from.
This is extremely disingenuous. A dutch roll if identified and corrected is not structurally dangerous to an aircraft but it typically signifies something wrong with the control surfaces which is a larger issue. In the majority of the cases, it's the yaw damper that's a problem (my suspicion in the 737 case).

JAL 123 crashed because hydraulic pressure on all 4 hydraulic lines and 90% of the vertical stabilizer and 100% of the rudder were lost due to an explosive decompression of the aft pressure bulkhead. Dutch rolls ensued because of the loss of lateral direction control.

The KC-135 crashed because the rudder power control unit on the rudder was faulty and the pilots failed to identify the problem. They then used alternating rudder inputs to recover which caused the structural limits of the vertical stabilizer to be exceeded its structural limits and separate (along with the rest of the tail).

The Air Transat flight (961) had the entire rudder separate from the aircraft most likely due to stress fractures. This caused the aircraft to have extremely limited lateral directional control which caused the dutch rolls.
The issue here isn't the employee behavior. It's that Wells Fargo imposed an idiotic culture where employees felt this was necessary.
This is missing the forest for the trees. The language for a university course in computation needn't be "commercially relevant". What's important is whether it serves the pedagogical purpose of teaching students to think about computation.

Learning this or that programming language isn't at all what it's about--you can (and will over and over again throughout your career) do that on your own time. It's about developing the abstract thought pathways that enable you to quickly learn and think about computing.

I don't know why MIT chose to stop teaching the course, but it sure would lower my opinion of that institution if it was something to do with the direct commercial appeal of "knowing Python".
If you have to monitor your employees’ keyboard activity, you have a hiring problem.

Because people generally don’t use TPUs outside of Google. The tooling is different, the access is metered through GCP, etc.

Show HN: Summary of Hacker News comments
Hey everyone,

I used to spend hours every day on Hacker News, reading all the posts and diving into the endless discussions. It was interesting, but man, it ate up so much of my time.

So, I decided to create a little service for myself using Next.js to make things easier. It picks out the best stuff from Hacker News each day and gives me a quick summary of the comments. Now, I stay updated with the latest tech news without having to scroll through everything.

It's been a real time-saver for me, and I thought some of you might find it useful too. If you're tired of spending all day on Hacker News but still want to keep up, give it a try.

By the way, if you're curious about the tech stack, it's built with Next.js, Postgres, OpenAI API, Docker, hosted on DigitalOcean, and uses Cloudflare for preventing DDoS attacks.
I'm curious about: alpha go, Watson, and the AI that "conquered" chess. Are those outliers, or part of a larger story? It feels to me a contemporary history of AI would mention those milestones.
