> VR needs a more powerful CPU and GPU than a MacBook Pro needs if you're trying to break into the VR gaming market

No, it doesn't. The Quest series has done well for itself with boosted smartphone chips.

Surely, that means simpler graphics, but the graphics aren't really the thing holding VR back right now. Ease of use, comfort, weight, eye strain, motion sickness, physical feedback, these are all bigger issues imo. (Though I'll admit that larger FoV would help, and that's tied to graphical power)
Why Euro? And not USD? LOL
- Together we beat covid, invented magic pills for obesity, moved towards cheaper and better energy sources and kept our institutions strong.

Covid is beaten by our immune system. Since covid we have also rising overall mortality and total distrust in science, media and governments.

Obesity in wealthy countries, while millions starving in developing countries, treated by magic pills?

Energy prices are much more expensive than ever, many times more then in states with totalitarian regimes.

Institutions monetise everything they possibly could.

- People around the world continue to line up to immigrate to west legally or illegally. It is a huge success for us.

Have you been in UK, France on Germany recently?

-I see Russia, China, India and Arab world feel depressed about this that there is nothing they can do about this. They will not be able to catch up with us ever. They take pride in being "thousand year old civilization" but they are being outfoxxed by bunch of cowboys and LGBTQ folks at every step

Depression in youth in wealthy countries rise since social media consumption started. We have highest suicide attempts than ever.

Also, EU fertility rate per woman is 1.4, in US 1.6. You don't need to be skilled in math to know that wealthy west is dying.

I'm not sure, if your post is serious or not.

The opposite, I hired someone through HN. Although i didn't realize for a while.

I talked my company into posting a HN post. All messages that recruiting didn't filter went to me. There was an obvious difference between those responses and other posts. Not necessarily better, just different.

One woman I hired reminded me a while later that she had originally "applied" via the who's hiring thread. I missed it at first but it made sense.
You could perhaps imagine web apps as a form of 2FA, half the app is on the client, and the other half is on the server and continually authenticating each other by communicating with each other.

There's no reason you can't do this with desktop apps, put a chunk of the functionality on the server and obtain security that way.

The trouble with web apps is compute and storage performance, for a web app you're limited by the browser - not so much for a desktop. Its not really an issue for a bingo card creator, it is if you're making blender or autocad.

This somehow reminded me of the "Access A1200"; A complete and upgraded Amiga 1200 clone that fit in a 5.25" floppy drive bay [1]

Some of the starbucks clientele have some interesting behaviors. There is a drive thru/walkup location where the drive through line pours out into the street as people park, walk up, get their order (perhaps a mobile order), leave, drive away, while the drive thru people scarcely moved forward in line. The drivers just sit there in line with their phone 1 foot from the face and inch forward on periphery vision alone. The entire ritual must be deeply habituated at this point, tick tok coupled with a stimulant. They probably have no idea how much time has actually passed.
Now that websites can use the File System Access API to load and save files, the Desktop is "solved" for me. Everybody can use my software simply by opening the url in their browser.

The new challenge is phones. Mobile browsers do not support the File System Access API.

What is a solution to this? Is there a reputable service that converts a web page into an Android/iOS app so that it can load and save files?

Ask HN: I have cancer – what's the best EU country to get treatment?
I have come to the realization that I most likely have some form of cancer and would need to seek diagnosis & eventual treatment as soon as possible.

I am in the process of immigrating to the EU, but needing treatment on short notice throws a bit of a wrench in the works as my destination country has subpar public healthcare. My original plan was to arrange private healthcare once settled to work around that problem but it's a bit too late now. As a result I am effectively stuck with public healthcare only as I don't believe any insurer would cover what is now a preexisting condition. My origin country is also a lost cause in terms of public healthcare so there's no point even trying there.

I have a EU passport, work remotely and can effectively go anywhere. What's the least worst EU country to get state-funded treatment?

Once again we see evidence that AI-for-all is not bottlenecked by research but by the physical limitations of compute infrastructure.
I find that most of the time when I do it, I speed because I am either unaware of the speed limit or my speed drifts slowly above it.

The techniques described in the article, such as audio, visual, or haptic feedback when reaching the speed limit or maintaining speed at the limit sound useful and a solution to the above.

Most critics interpret the article as the car taking over the decision-making - but that does not seem to be the case at all.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think there's evidence of anyone ever trying to flee from an Empire where they lived, at least if they were not there as slaves brought from another area. If the "outside" was so great, you would expect people to try to move there... everything I've read so far makes me believe the exact opposite has been true. People tend to want to move to more prosperous areas, just check the world today.

Huawei Cloud, Free Trials
At time of publishing, article states:

"First, cgroups emerged as the de facto way to control and monitor resources on a Linux machine. atop still lacks support for this fundamental building block. Second, atop stores data on disk with custom delta compression. This works fine under normal circumstances, but under heavy resource pressure the host is likely to lose data points. Since delta compression is in use, huge swaths of data can be lost for periods of time where the data is most important. Third, the user experience has a steep learning curve. We frequently heard from atop power users that they love the dense layout and numerous keybindings. However, this is a double-edged sword. When someone new to atop wants to debug a production issue, they’re solving two problems at once now: the issue at hand and how to use atop."
I am currently living in Japan after living my whole life in the United States. I have noticed Japanese Starbucks are much more generous with the space and seating, and generally are wonderful places to socialize/study/work. Additionally, I wonder if it is related to the prevalence of malls and their popularity. In the US, malls are almost universally graveyards, whereas in Japan every Aeon Mall I've ever visited has been full even on weekdays.

At the end of the day its the pirates who are maintaining the library of Alexandria of our times. The pirates we insist on vilifying and speaking little of in technical forums even. What does that make those people who stand against those who seek to spread information? No different than the book burners, in my eyes. A shame so many engineers spend their precious time and efforts fighting on what future generations will no doubt see as the wrong side of history, all for a dollar they could easily make elsewhere on less unsavory work.

I question your judgment but given other comments I read on HN coming from your username it's actually not that surprising you are taking such an immensely stupid decision.

Good luck, you are just a sad unloved human being with strongly emotional opinions, nothing really I can discuss with to land on some common ground.
Yes, I read that. That’s an advantage of this tool against atop, not a disadvantage.

Stop using Tailwind's utility classes in the HTML class attribute
From my understanding of a blog post by GitHub last year, they are planning to launch a tool to find similar code to what emitted by CoPilot, implying that CoPilot does not mix multiple sources for a single function, but derives a code block it found with a similar functionality (or maybe bigger blocks with similar functionality, IDK).

If CoPilot indeed derives a function (or a functional block) from a single source, it might plainly violate the license of the repository where it derives the code from.

There are many questions, and nothing is clear cut. The only thing I know is, I will never use that thing.

EDIT: I remembered that people were able to make CoPilot emit their code almost as-is with the correct prompts: https://x.com/docsparse/status/1581461734665367554

So it's not we're taking a bit from n different sources, and generate something with that.

The author's point may have been valid 30-40 years ago. Now, national security apparatus dominates pretty much all arms of the government and the so called journalists carry water for them. In fact, publications like NYT actively doxx leakers if they do not align with their ideology. Corporate media journalists cannot be trusted anymore.
No whistle blower with information that damages the national security establishment will feel safe going to go to a mainstream journalist now. Therefore, we need more of Assange.
Gigamon products consistently creep me out. Pretty sure they’re mostly good to great, but they always make me think panopticon.
I think there are two things being discussed here:

1) alignment as portrayed by OpenAI along with the perception of intelligence from the current SoTA LLMs

2) alignment as a field of study to prevent catastrophe

I'm speaking about the latter and I don't think labeling alignment as a total facade is conducive to starting well on the path of developing guiderails for AGI. Thank the universe that it seems LLMs cannot scale to emergent intellect, because that lets us do a dry run. In my opinion, we're currently tanking the current go-around as legislation is ever farther behind while we watch an absolute arms race between nations and corporations.
Yes it is. Also, not only for embedded / IoT stuff. There are some use cases where the quick startup time and low overhead of MicroPython can be useful. Unfortunately, support from mainstream distros (e.g. Debian and derivatives) is perfectible.

Phones just don't make a good analog to computers with a robust file system browser. My experience is if you're downloading something on a phone, it's never going be used again. It will sit there until a factory reset.

How many restaurant menus have I downloaded read once and never cleared off? I don't know. I also don't care. If I did care, I would want to use "Save As..." and save to google drive.
What did you have in mind with the browser being a limiting factor? It seems to me you can run stuff in the browser that makes use of all your local resources and can save things as well, considering tools like jupyter notebooks.
Realist - otherwise no one would have been dealing with Donald Trump since the first time he went bankrupt in ‘91 eh?

I personally don’t get involved, but it is what it is. Everyone likes to pretend they have infinite options and don’t need assholes money, but when they’re staring at bankruptcy (or having to face reality and ‘mark to market’ at a more realistic valuation) somehow they sign leases anyway.
No need to JTAG; you can test most of the processor in virtualization. The only part you can’t check is the interface for that itself if you’re aiming to emulate it (most don’t). (Also I’m pretty sure the debugging interface is either fused off or locked out on modern Intel processors.)
Simple Example on How to Use Casbin for Ownership Access Control
KVMs do tend to cause issues, especially when it comes to power management and waking from sleep. However, just two weeks ago I had issues with Debian when connecting directly to a monitor. Booting from the live image with a Nvidia GPU resulted in 1024x768 garbage. Surely the installer will take care of that and the open drivers will be sufficient. Surely.

Nope. I had to reinstall and the option to add the proprietary repository was not as obvious nor as emphasized as it should have been. It almost seemed like an intentional snub at Nvidia. I bailed for other desktop-related issues and ran back home to another distro.

But maybe Debian doesn't want to focus on desktop users and that's fine - they can continue to rule their kingdom of hypervisor cities filled with docker containers. The world needs that too.

This is obviously valid, but considering how powerful even low-end computers are these days, I'd say that most of the stuff we do on a computer is more like bingo card creator than blender or autocad.

Software that is slow in spite of this is generally slow because it does a thousand network requests in the background.

Like these guys' fascinating book, The Dawn of Everything, this article introduces but over-interprets some exciting new data.

A lot of what we're told about is new locations for urban life. But the claim that they weren't empires is arguing from absence of evidence. We mostly don't know what they were.

For an interesting pairing, see Bryan Ward-Brown on the fall of Rome, interviewed here by Razib Khan (https://www.razibkhan.com/p/bryan-ward-perkins-the-material-...). There we do know what happened when an empire ended, and it was very bad for the people in it. That's because big empires are usually not replaced by anarchy, or by democratic nation-states, but by small empires, which have fewer economies of scale and therefore more taxation and exploitation.
