>It's just that it's very easy for deviations from what the sensors see to occur.

right, but this is a problem in any modern precision machining, and it has been (mostly) conquered to a degree that we can produce very precise things in an almost entirely automated fashion.

>If material is missing somewhere, you could have the machine go back and add it

laser sintering is easier to audit than a normal fdm style print in a lot of ways if you care to take the time to do it. The process can be paused fairly easy with the right machine and right environment, the product can be weighed mid-process, it can have all sorts of vision and laser metrology done to the product midway through production; whatever -- and the mid print failure rate is astronomically lower than extrusion based methods.

it doesn't seem that unbelievable to me.
This is a joke of course... but it won't be one day.
Being against vertical integration is not an explicitly pro-consumer argument. It's an argument in favor of regulating market power. Consumers may well pay a bit more in some cases, but they will be rewarded with healthier, more resilient markets.
I commented on this when you initially posted it, but you really need a Y axis for this graph. Also if its a ratio, which way is it? A double bar or double line chart would probably be easier to interpret.
You have to consider that the average person who tried to do machine learning on AMD GPUs got burned in the past decade and has no reason to change their opinion. Also in the past it was much harder to get access to cutting edge GPUs from AMD. The fact that AMD drops GPU support for ROCm quickly also earns them scorn. I don't think it is an unfair assessment. They earned their reputation.
I think that the expectation is that NVIDIA is in somewhat of an unreasonable position right now (and for the immediate future) where they're getting about 80% gross margins on their datacenter GPUs. This is an extremely juicy target for competitors, and even if competitors manage to produce a product that's half as good as NVIDIA, NVIDIA will have to cut prices to compete.
tmux keeps the selection to the pane for me.

You’re correct that it is more energy efficient to heat, but the US spends much more energy heating buildings compared to cooling them. As the person you’re responding to pointed out, the difference between cold days and comfortable temperatures is usually much, much higher than the difference between hot days and comfortable temperatures for most people.
With the increasing number of breaches over the years, it is 100% a feature. I see it as insurance: ideally nothing happens, but if/when something happens the company should be ready to compensate for damages.

Well, if you build it robust enough, you can test less. Not saying testing is worthless, but sometimes a one-piece that used to be 45 pieces held together by rivets is just, much much more resilient.
Not just onboarding. Most, if not all, large companies waste at least an hour of their employees time on this per year, while themselves bribing politicians in DC.

If there is one thing that Steam has proven, it is that games absolutely do not have to focus on 8k assets, celebrity likeness and voices. In other words, that is not really an answer. Or at least not a real answer. It is, at best, a part of it that glosses over why people play games.
Globalstar is LEO as well, although a bit higher (~1400 km) than Iridium (~780 km) and Starlink (below Iridium; various altitudes). In terms of SNR, they're very comparable.

Newer GEO direct-to-device satellites also have huge reflectors and often much higher transmit power levels that can compensate for the greater distance somewhat. Terrestar and Thuraya have had quite small phones available since the late 2000s already, and they're both (large) GEO.

Why is a news article about a 44 year old drug on Hacker News?

As far as I can tell this isn't about tech, tech policy, a new medication, a new discovery about an old medication, science, etc. Seems like its just fodder for a political debate that is unrelated to this site.

Instead of politicizing HN, why don't you just toot this to your echo chamber on Mastodon?
VW maintained its technological lead over Chinese competitors in internal combustion engines for decades, despite JV and tech transfer agreements. The tech transfer is much less significant than you seem to think.
Driver control IS making the driver responsible, by definition. Tesla is legally required to put the driver in control.

This is a driver assist program. There is no way such a program, that is subordinate to the driver and depends on the driver being in control, can protect the driver from not doing their part, and driving.

If in the future they decided to completely change the model upon which their system is built, they would merely have to build against the oldest glibc version that they want to support, in just the same way that you can target all modern versions of Debian by building on a Debian 10 box.

I looked into this at one point. IIRC it turns out control mode was only added to tmux by the iterm2 dev, for use in his own project. So I guess he didn't care about adding support to tmux itself.
What the name implies if interpreted without any context pales in comparison to the repeated and explicit instructions and warnings given to the driver that clarify that the driver should always be in control.

They are?

Everyone I've seen who calls themselves a "content creator" are doing it to make money. That's the very definition of being a professional.
My favorite tech has a handful of patents expired in the past two years. But they are written in a way that doesn't expose the underlying algorithms, just the "steps" which seems to be a very keen well-designed patent informed by lawyers. Designed to the letter of the law. Mitsubisi Research Laboratories funded the work, it's clear they wanted to protect their investment. The text inside the patent is this absurd abstraction of the algorithm such that it could apply to anything.

Software patents exist in this space where the patent holder gets the best of both worlds: they get to argue that an infringer nebulously infringes on the ambiguous "steps". Meanwhile the source code is not in the patent, therefore protected from public eyes. Patents should require exposing the source code.
It’s less a confusing one off decision to use a weird architecture, and more a failure to reconsider the status quo and stop using weird architectures.

Previous PlayStation hardware was just as odd. Ps2 reused old surplus Ps1 processors just for audio, and had coprocessors just like cell.
Ask HN: Reapply to the Same Batch
Hello everyone!
My application to batch S24 was rejected. After this outcome I gave it a lot of thought and found a problem to solve, and an idea that (in my opinion) is a very good business idea.
I would like to reapply, but to do so I would have to create a new profile. I couldn't find any information about this, so I wanted to ask if you could advise me on what to do.
Thanks!

It's an AI program, so I'm also afraid that similar tools might come out or go to solve the same problem before the next batch.
Ahhh!!! I see how you're reading it, and yeah - I think the mistake is much more on them than you. The parenthesis are not describing the value before them, but indicating what is IN the parenthesis! I'm the sort that ignores infographics and goes straight to the text, and it's much clearer there. Check out the report highlights:

---

The all accident rate was 0.80 per million sectors in 2023 (one accident for every 1.26 million flights), an improvement from 1.30 in 2022 and the lowest rate in over a decade. This rate outperformed the five-year (2019-2023) rolling average of 1.19 (an average one accident for every 880,293 flights).

---

So in the table their "All accident rate (accidents per one million flights)" row is giving you two different pieces of the data. The first is accident rate (which is per million sectors) and then in the parenthesis is the accidents per million flights. And actually even that's wrong, since they actually give you flights per accident -- whoever put that table together clearly was not big on the whole accuracy thing.

So when you see "1.19 (1 accident every 0.88 million flights)" that means the rate per million sectors is 1.19, and the rate per million flights is 1/0.88 = 1.14.
Ok… no then? I was just trying to save the original poster from being badgered in bad faith with questions like, ‘take a guess’.
It's a potentially insulting gift for a writer. Writing lies between job and hobby, depending on success.

This product, from the ad copy, is targeted at fans of writing. People sitting on the bleachers, not the ones on the court.

Yes and no. You might not even realize that what you did constitutes giving or receiving a bribe. What cracks me up though is that all large US megacorps give tens of millions of dollars in thinly veiled bribes to officials each year, as they browbeat their employees into not accepting a god damn fruit basket from a thankful client.
This is a trend I’ve noticed that’s increasing. It suggests HN audience is changing as it grows.
Seriously. Yet another case of NYT's hypersensationalism gravely misleading their own flock. There's been no "upholding" here, the opinion straight up states the plaintiffs should pursue their goal through state legislatures. With the combination of Dobbs and the longstanding criminalization of personal chemistry, I don't know that such a case would even need to make it to the Supreme Court.

This whole topic is rife with self-defeating nonsense. I personally used to think abortion should be an issue left up to the states, in part due to the common "pro choice" messaging - if it's a choice, and people feel so strongly about it, why shouldn't regulation of that choice be left up to the states? Then life happens and you see that most of this topic, especially all those abhorrent-sounding later-term strawmen that get trotted out, really has nothing to do with any semblance of choice. Rather it's mostly about religious fundamentalists playing duality-make-believe that a non-viable fetus is still somehow an abstract "person", and then pushing their fantasy onto everyone else.

I'd love to see the whole topic reframed. If a state bans elective abortions of normal pregnancies after a certain specific amount of development, that's fine. And in fact, as far as I can tell most (probably all) states already do this! But there is absolutely no rationale to laws like Texas's, which are essentially just a superstitious attack on what is otherwise straightforward medical care.
I switched back to the build in terminal app a few years ago, because I don't feel like having my environment customized and live with the defaults for almost everything. The only thing I miss is having an easy way to switch between tabs in Terminal, you can do it cmd + <tab number>, but Terminal doesn't give you the number on each tab, so you have to count yourself if you more than four or five.
Isn't Spotify about to raise its fees again for the second time in about two years? I dropped it a while back after the whole podcast push. Not (solely) because I'm not a fan of the people they chose to fund, but because they penny pinch on music royalties but wanted to shower podcasters with money -- I signed up for music, not podcasts!

Spotify was easy (for me) to replace: I have a huge music collection already. YouTube would be tougher because I mostly rely on it for video clips I wouldn't be able to find elsewhere, except maybe Archive.org.
As far as I can tell from contemporary sources, Pixel 1 launched with a promise of two years of major releases + one additional year of security updates [0]. This was in October 2016. They exceeded that, and actually did three years of major releases, and security updates for a couple of months longer than promised, with the last one in December 2019 [1].

Seems like they a) delivered more than initially promised, b) did not drop it just a year after release. How long a support period do you think they actually promised, and where did they promise it?

Yes. My research lab in grad school had a cluster of 24 PS3s. The back of that rack was hot.
You can help Anna's Archive by seeding torrents
You're doing the classic You want three things but you can only get two. You want fast, small, and cheap. You have to pick two. If you want fast and small, get a Mac Mini.
Anna’s Archive, a mirror (arguably the successor) of Library Genesis and Sci-Hub, is asking for help seeding over 500 TB of book and papers for long-term preservation. Currently, 40% of that are seeded by fewer than 4 nodes.

Note: This is 30M+ books, 100M+ papers. Depending on your philosophy and jurisdiction, you might be stealing a few billion $. Or not.

This is ignoring security in depth, weaknesses, and security architecture. When ignoring that, you can not pretend, and MS did pretend, that you had a good enough stance on security. Fixing discovered vulns alone is mandated, it gives you maybe half a point, but the other 9.5 points or at least 5 before you can claim you care about security require more than fixing known vulns or waiting for world scale incident to "respond". You have to prevent issues.
>he was actually the person responsible for translating between security researchers and the upper management:

According to the article, the group in charge of taking input from security researchers and deciding which vulnerabilities need to be addressed was Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), and Andrew Harris wasn't a member of it.
Although I have thoughts on the matter, I'm not actually arguing about the quality of drivers, I'm arguing that x86 linux has had minimal problems with keeping all drivers in-tree, and if vendors want to support linux they've generally had no problem working with that. It is for some reason only mobile and embedded vendors that find it impossible to upstream drivers and that insist on shipping hacked-up vendor forks of ancient kernels.

And again, firmware is a separate matter; there's plenty of cases of linux shipping blobs for the device to run, so long as the driver to talk to that device is FOSS.
A tempering machine costs hundreds of dollars and wouldn't fit in my apartment kitchen. The hand mixer was ten dollars and fits in my drawer.

They are desperately trying to regain trust by appearing impartial
This is true in some other countries where a high court (sometimes called a constitutional court) is often tasked with deciding the legitimacy of a law, the allowable scope of its application, etc, outside the context of a particularized, concrete dispute involving claims of actual or imminent harm or loss. (Often the context is settling a speculative dispute of authority between government branches.) Sometimes that might be the highest court's only job. That is definitely not how the United States Supreme Court operates, though some US state supreme courts will hear and issue opinions on purely abstract legal questions, especially if submitted by the legislature or some other office given special privileges.
PS3 did not sell double the 360, they sold almost the same amount of units.
It's absolutely hard, but you need to advertise and promote security for it to stay relevant, internally and externally. The moment it becomes the "default" I think the only way is downward.

The marketing dept should do something for that, that's their job. If Apple can tout privacy as a feature, Microsoft can find a way to have security as a shiny feature on their keynote, with internal projects rewarded for increasing security by x% etc.
The irony of these conversations is bizarre.

As the (tautological) saying goes: everyone is doing their best. My interest is whether this can be improved - perhaps at some point when AI gets closer to challenging us for cognitive supremacy we will awake from our slumber.
OtherOS was a way for Sony to work around higher tarifs. General computing devices (enabled by OtherOS) had a lower schedule than consoles.

It was retroactively removed when people started getting close to enabling full GPU access. This was previously crippled under OtherOS to prevent games developed without the PS3 SDK.

Rumor has it that Sony axed OtherOS in response to Geohot using it to exploit & compromise the PS3 hypervisor.
Do not blame ARM's terrible attempts at ever more rent-seeking to their leadership position. Blame it on their incredibly boneheaded ownership history. SoftBank paid way too much for ARM, and now they have to try and make the money back somehow.
That’s not a monkey.
For the most part the cluster of PS3s supercomputer was a myth used to hype up how powerful the PS3 was. The amount of RAM per compute was so low that it limited the type of workloads it was good at. Then server CPUs became more powerful as the PS3 processor stayed the same.

However PS3 clusters did find niche success as a super computer. There are a handful of notable examples. The fastest one ever built was by the US Airforce, consisted of 1,760 PS3s, and was the 33rd fastest super computer at the time. It was used for satellite image processing.
I didn't switch for ethical reasons, but Photopea is such brilliant editor that for most of my Photoshop needs I use that now. Photoshop is way more powerful and Photopea probably wouldn't be suitable for power users, but as a techy that occasionally needs to do a bit of cropping or a some basic photo editing it's a great tool and does everything I used to use Photoshop for.

I don't think Sony expected Xbox 360 so soon. PS2 was sales were still good and there was no console on a market better than PS2 at that time.

Then out of nowhere Xbox 360 comes out, Halo that was a macOS title suddenly a main and a well selling IP on Xbox. Not just that, it also picked HD-DVD as its format posing a threat to Blu-ray.

Sony had to put something out.
