Yeah I'm absolutely not surprised. Controls are terrible and you're going to drain the phone's battery. You can make it a little better if you buy accessories, but then you need to carry those accessories around and it doesn't solve the battery issue.

It makes a ton more sense to just get a standalone device and play games on that instead.
All three of my representatives have AIPAC babysitters. I wonder how many of them have "boeing babysitters"

I experimented with streaming PC games to my iPhone via SteamLink. Nifty concept, but playing traditional PC/console style games on a phone isn't much fun. Your thumbs obscure 1/3 of the screen and the UI elements are often too small to reliably tap. You really have to design the mobile experience independently of the desktop/console experience, and then account for the fact that the two markets are often very different.

I'd be interested to see the breakdown for something like Genshin Impact, which was a true cross-platform release. Mobile gaming is huge in China so there's strong incentive to make it a first-class citizen.
Interesting. Still no number row, but much better. And having voice input integrated means that I can remove the dedicated app. Still really just missing Japanese keyboard layout support.

You might be thinking of total lift on a 3D wing, which is something you alluded to re: wing loading. But 3d wings vs 2d airfoils are really different concepts that you seem to be mixing up. Airfoils are advantageous regardless of wing loading (which is an inherently 3d concept) because of better L/D and stall characteristics.
Yes. AIUI, as bicycle riders the Wright brothers understood the need for banking in turns rather than thinking of maintaining a constant roll orientation throughout a turn
The actual North Africa campaign lasted a little under three years, let’s round it to 150 weeks. So if you spend less than 10 hours a week playing CNA, your game will take longer than the actual military campaign.
Many chips come with on-board debugging accessible via JTAG that lets you do most of what you'd do with ICE in the good old days.

Another option I've seen is to simulate/emulate at lower speeds with FPGAs.

I also had a lot of fun debugging electronics. My favorite story is spending more than a month debugging a TI DSP based board that I designed that wouldn't boot properly. It turned out that some of the ground pins (it had many) were left unconnected because the guy that did the PCB layout (not me, I did do layout for many of my designs but not this one), didn't notice a tiny segment that needed to be wired from the pin to the ground plane.

An important lesson I learned from debugging hardware is that you have to persevere, I learnt this from a very experienced EE I worked with, all problems can be found with enough perseverance. Kids these days (lol) give up too soon...
Yup, agreed.

I've worked in orgs that use long lived branches and short lived branches... And short lived branches are by far less stressful to deal with if you can do it, precisely because of merge conflicts.

Reality is never going to match your desire. Things are going to get messy, and so you end up with squashable commits among your commits that shouldn't be squashed. The branch you're merging should match your intent for atomic changes to the code that can be easily reasoned about when rebasing, merging, and bisecting.

You write to history once, but you read from it many times. Therefore, optimize for reads.

I made a template to make it easier to publish simple, professional project pages for research papers. It's based on Eliahu Horwitz's classic research page template, but it's made with Astro and styled with Tailwind CSS. Let me know what you think!
With small chips like this do you think they would test at a high sampling level?
To some approximation, if you understood what BERT was at the time it was released, you'd consider it the first modern LLM. GPT-1 was OpenAI's BERT.

Timeline would be viewed as:

2018: gpt-1

2019: gpt-2

2020: gpt-3

I'm a customer with checking and a credit card there. Was down at least since 6 a.m. on Saturday morning PDT, which is when access first failed for me.
Exciting work. I hope they consider releasing the 138 million scans.

The FAQ at the end is a bit confusing, because it says:

Was the “raw” data saved in addition to the
preprocessed/cleaned/labeled data (e.g., to support
unanticipated future uses)? If so, please provide a link or
other access point to the “raw” data.

All data is in the dataset.
It seems to use 1ma when on, so if you hooked this up to one of the larger smartphone batteries at 5000 mah, this could run for 200 days.

I'm not sure what you'd do with that, but I think as power consumption drops to 0 on these sorts of thing it might make some remote sensing applications cheaper/easier to deploy, if you could just deploy it with a battery and forget about it for a year or two.
I think reading some Roger Schank's books on different kinds of memories like episodic memory this might be useful too:

The bridge toll is also one way, and if you're poor, you likely won't have such easy access to those programs (which is a lot of paperwork anyways) on the other side of rail (LA resident accessing SF e.g.). And if Amtrak is any indicator, the HSR will be more expensive than planes anyways.
I don’t believe this. Most people really like apps, and there’s a reason why people revolve around their phones far more than their laptops now. Also, they have plenty of other selling points - like their camera, or calling other people, obviously.

Some things, like photography or phone calls, are great. Some are so-so, like web browsing. And some, like AAA Gaming, are not suited well at all. But on the inverse, calling people or taking photos on the desktop is not a well-suited setup either.
While the advancement to carbon fiber in running shoes is similar, the exploitation in swimming was far more extreme. This was an unintended side effect of the suit when shifting from skimpy Teflon Speedos ("Fast Skin") to full-body polyethylene LZR suits. The key issue was layering multiple suits. Wearing two suits would trap a huge air bubble between the layers, pushing your body above the surface and reducing your drag substantially.

The multiple suits issue is generally downplayed because it doesn't promote Speedo's new technology and casts swimmers as cheaters. Imagine showing up to a race with your new carbon fiber running shoes, only to see your opponent wearing "Moon Shoes" strapped over their high-tech shoes. It looks ridiculous, but there was no rule against it at the time.
I have one of those attachments for my Xbox controller where I strap my phone in. The last two games I've finished has been from my bed, using the Steam Link app, and it's been great.

As another commenter said, I wouldn’t make different orders. I’d just pick a restaurant based on what other neighbors have picked, and be content with whatever it is.
They do, but it's mainly a precautionary measure for them IMO. Too easy to get some AGPL code caught up in some project and then due to its viral nature that entire project would be "tainted", costing them control.
Which part do you find ‘extremist’. Facts are not rhetoric.
Not for me. Huh. I'm guessing Firefox can parse the extraneous period at the end of .com correctly.
If this argument were sound, tailless designs (i.e. without a separate horizontal stabilizer either before or behind) would be optimal, but what matters to efficiency is the overall lift-to-drag ratio within all the other feasibility constraints. No-one obsesses over lift-to-drag ratios more than sailplane designers and their customers, and the fact that the medium- to high-performing sailplanes are neither tailless nor canards, despite there being airworthy examples of both canard and tailless gliders, is telling us something, at least in the range of Reynolds numbers relevant to glider flight.

Sorry about that. I usually put a dot at the end of the TLD to bypass certain registration/paywalls (which is effective when browsing Reuters in Chrome/Brave).

Dan: the time has expired and I cannot edit the URL, but could we drop the trailing "." after the "com", please?
Maybe that's true! If you can elaborate on your confident saying with facts, sources, or explanations, I would certainly give it my full consideration. It wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong!

What makes you think it's a "total scam"?
I disagree, there's plenty of things I think a small form factor excels at.

Do I enjoy using Word on my phone to write a document? No. Do I enjoy writing texts and messages on my phone? Yes. Would I get my laptop out to write a text message or make a call all the time? No.

The fact it's portable and can fit in your pocket, is the exact point and I can navigate the entire device with two thumbs.
Short answer is that FFTs are about as well behaved as anything can possibly be, because they're rotations in C^n.

I mean calling people on a desktop or laptop isnt' great, but at the same time I do it there way more often than a phone - Discord calls with friends, Teams meetings for work, etc.
It's a really fun set of tradeoffs to be honest. You get more lift at a given speed/AoA, which lets you go slower without stalling. But you get even more drag, which means the engines have to work harder to keep you flying at that slower speed.
It isn't published academia, so why would this matter?
This chip:
8 MHz, 8 bit processing
 1K x 14 bits EPROM.
 48 bytes SRAM.
 6 general purpose I/O pins (GPIO), PB[5:0], with independent direction control.

In comparison to the usual suspects like Apollo guidance computer or TI-83, it has a higher clock speed but shorter word length and extremely limited ram and memory. Precisely due to the cost engineering - this is meant to run simple, limited size programs.
I'm not entirely sure you disagreed. It sounds like mostly what you value is indeed the portability ("I don't want to get my laptop out"). But the actual experience of writing a text on your laptop is better (at least for me). If I ever need to write a long message or many messages, I do get my laptop out because the hassle of that is outweighed by how much faster I can type on a computer than on my phone.
Interrupting what, music? I sometimes wear headphones without listening to music because I don't want my train of thought to be interrupted.
I don't. I've never actually seen interval theory developed like I did above. It's just me porting parts of probability theory over to solve the same problems as they appear in talking about intervals.
It's an 8-bit processor running at up to 20Mhz. Maybe an Apple-II would be a comparison. Likely the 6502 had a more powerful instruction set. Apple II had a 1Mhz 6502.

The article seems to overlook one factor, which is that all of these releases previously came out on other platforms, so a lot of the people who might be interested in playing them already had an opportunity to buy and play them on a better gaming platform.

I do think the price point is likely to be an issue, as suggested by the article, though. The price for RE4 seems to be quite steep based on what's in the store listing (and they go out of their way to hide it, presumably so you'll try the free part first) - it looks like it's ~$40 right now, and based on some news articles I dug up, it was originally $60. That's a big up-front price for a phone game, even if it's really an AAA console experience. And you can't plug it in to your TV and undock the joycons like you can with a Switch title.

Does anyone know whether titles like RE4 iOS have crossplay on macbooks? Or would you have to buy it twice?
You Shouldn't Use AI to Write Your Tests
Sure, the naive method of multiplying polynomials is slow in the degree of the polynomial. But when does one have to deal with two degree 100 polynomials?

My impression is that this sort of method isn't used by computer algebra system for this reason.
I had something like that 30 years ago on a Motorolla 68332 processor.

It could generate the high speed CPU clock using the 32khz clock as a reference. What I found was the layout guy ran a digital trace through the pins of the 32khz xtal. There was enough coupling that digital transitions on that line would cause the high speed clock to swing wildly. Which showed up as garbage on the UARTs. Joyous thing is most of the time that line was idle.

I cut and rerouted the trace and the problem went away.
Not a regression. Don’t be hyperbolic. I say that with love.
This is simply false. LLMs have a world model. Is it perfect? Obviously not. But neither is yours. Saying that "everything" from an LLM is a hallucination, to whatever extent it can be said to be true is overly broad to the point of being useless.

It is very possible to learn which kinds of things LLMs are likely to be correct at and which kinds of things they are likely to be wrong about. Neither of those categories is going to be perfect, but, again, neither will it be for any particular human.

I mostly agree that current LLMs should not be used in any kind of a critical role that does not have a human constantly checking it. And even with a human, probably not, because humans are lazy, and are likely to stop checking.

But they can be very useful if one takes the time to learn what kinds of outputs they usually give.

The problem with the vast majority of articles on them is that they usually go in one of two directions: Look at this amazing task that an LLM did really well

or

Look at this incredibly basic task that an LLM did very poorly.

Both of those ignore the totality that LLMs are shockingly, amazingly, good at certain kinds of tasks and also shockingly, embarrassingly bad at other kinds of tasks.

If one can learn to recognize which is which, one can get a lot of value and, if one is careful, avoid the pitfalls.

Actually, if I'm looking at DIY videos on youtube, it means I have a problem I am NOT willing to solve with money. :-) I never really have the problem you are describing though. Youtube wants to feed me to videos I'll watch, and while it only does a passable job of it, it doesn't tend to give me roofing videos after I've watched one on roofing for too long if I don't click on any more.
Paying big prices for old AAA games on a substandard UI isn't a winning proposition. Most people already have those old games on Steam or their console if they want them. While we're on that topic, using the App store generally sucks compared to Steam and isn't cross-platform, so people are WAY more likely to buy a game on Steam instead.
Show HN: Room4Rent – Simplifying Hospitality Listings for Small Hotel Operators
Hey fellow HNers,

I'm a founder from France living in Vietnam, and I'm excited to share my latest project, Room4Rent, with the community.

The Problem

As a traveler, I've experienced the frustration of finding mid-to-long-term accommodations through Facebook groups. Interacting with agents and owners was a pain, and their online presence was lacking.

The Solution

Room4Rent is a platform that streamlines online presence for small hotel operators, helping them easily share updates with agents and guests. It's like Linktree, but for the hospitality industry.

Current Status

I'm currently iterating on an MVP, and I've already gotten a few paying customers who are relying on my tool to promote their rooms/share their listings, and communicate with others.

If you're curious, you can check out some demo links here:
- https://www.room4rent.app/sarahmcdougal
- https://www.room4rent.app/nguyenthanhthuy

My main site is live at https://www.room4rent.app

I'd love to hear your thoughts - do you see any potential elsewhere? Are there similar pain points in other regions, like Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa, or other areas?
You are correct, I had a brain fart. Not enough sleep the last few days.
Well yeah, LosslessCut is an Electron app, so it's actually Chrome pretending to be a video editor, and Chrome is well tested on many platforms. And the main downside of an Electron app (memory usage) is less painful as in other cases (like the Slack "standalone" client that's supposed to be permanently running in the background ), so why not...

Packaging is always a significant fraction of the cost. It can be 20-30% for a typical MCU part, and nearly half of the cost for a complex chiplet-based CPU (where the internal assembly is indeed complex). I suspect that manufacturer's profit margins are lower than that, especially for simpler MCU parts.

Do you have to get these programmed at the factory?
Isn’t that rather a lot of current for what it is?

I didn’t read the datasheet but I imagine it has to have a lower power mode than that. Much larger MCUs can manage an average power consumption far lower and power off the same battery for periods measured in years, not days.

This is simple enough you’d think you’d be able to power it off an EM field directly!
I’m a little surprised that the iPad with Magic Keyboard isn’t a viable option - perhaps because it’s too niche. I have right now one of the newer iPad Airs with the M2 chip, combined with the Magic Keyboard, and I could totally see gaming on this thing.

I tried NVIDIA GeForce Now, but I couldn’t get the mouse to move in Windows greatly limiting the utility. It said I would need a gamepad, but by the time I’m bringing along a game controller…
Here in Canada, Metro Vancouver implemented a tap payment system with gates for its transit system about ten years ago.

They started by generating outrage about fare evaders (the previous system was an "honor" based proof of payment, at least for the train). They claimed to be losing ~3 million $CAD yearly to fare evasion.

Then they made a plan to retrofit all the train stations with fare gates, and get new machines for the buses. The cost of this work was ~100 million $CAD.

I thought, well that will take some time to amortize. Then I learned that the maintenance cost of all this extra crap in the stations was on the order of $3 million/year. Clearly it was never about fare evasion.

You can buy a card with cash, and charge it with cash at machines in the stations, but there are strong incentives to link your account with a credit card.

The truth was confirmed several years later when I read an article in a local paper quoting someone at Translink who said their policy is to share trip data with police on request, without a warrant.

I stress _a_ singular as much is made of their process to identify articles with multiple reprints and multiple scans across multiple newspapers as these repititions of content (to a degree mitigated by local sub editors) with varying layouts are used to robust the conversion of the scans.

You may want to reflect on your past workplaces and compile a list of the things you can tolerate, and the things you can't tolerate.

Finding a good company is like finding a good marriage partner: it's hard, and more often than not you won't fit very well. So the next best thing is to know beforehand what you can tolerate.

This gives you a few lines of questioning you can ask before you take the job (job interviews are a lot like a first date).

This sounds like a food youtuber trying to explain how easy cooking a Turkey is. Yeah sure in a vaccum maybe, but I don't spend all day cooking food. Ive got other stuff to do.

Maybe its easy to find rootkits if you know what you are doing and use a statically compiled tcpdump. Do you know how many times I've done a TCP dump on my computer to check for root kits statically compiled or not? 0. I don't spend my time doing that. All it has to do is use less CPU and RAM than my corporate anti virus already does ( which is a lot ) and I'm never going to find it, cause im never gonna look.
It can also generate some back-end logic as well. So far I was able to request it to add a comments section, newsletter sign-up, login, db, booking appointments, real time stocks, real time weather etc. In the how to video I posted above, it has a few examples! :)
