Hmmm that list of things that contribute to entropy I've noticed omits particles which under "normal circumstances" on earth exist in bound states, for example it doesn't mentions W bosons or gluons. But in some parts of the universe they're not bound but in different state of matter, e.g. quark gluon plasma. I wonder how or if this was taken I to account.
You can't use the base unit by itself - according to the specs from the link, the dock has the actual power input and A/V output connectors.
Well, whether it should be or not, with the iPhone 13 my phone and car simply no longer communicate well. I experience failure to complete calls after repeated attempts, slow connections between phone and car, and other difficulties that I didn't experience with my iPhone 11. I don't have other Bluetooth related difficulties, only with the car.
A lot of the 80's adoption of the PC meant that people did the same presentations but they looked better. ;-)

In fairness, it's not just mindset. It takes a while to understand technology and figuring out how it can be effectively harnessed. A->E->D isn't achieved simply by realizing you can do that. There's a whole sequence of steps to change the shape of A,E & D to make that happen.

But you're right, a lot of GenAI right now is not being used for things that are real game changers. This is the first step to establishing the foundation from which the real game changers will spring.

The discussion in the forum points out that the Kawaii doesn't come with any wireless capabilities (they're all trimmed off the board), so unless the console is docked, you seemingly can't control it at all.

Great article. Reminds me of this quote from RG Collingwood about how pervasive copying has been throughout history, and how the famous names we know to have copied would be baffled about us being shocked.

"Individualism would have it that the work of a genuine
artist is altogether ‘original’, that is to say, purely his own work and not in any way that of other artists. The emotions expressed must be simply and solely his own, and so must his way of expressing them.

It is a shock to persons labouring under this prejudice when they find that Shakespeare’s plays, and notably Hamlet, that happy hunting-ground of self-expressionists, are merely adaptations of plays by other
writers, scraps of Holinshed, Lives by Plutarch, or excerpts
from the Gesta Romanorum; that Handel copied out into his
own works whole movements by Arne; that the Scherzo of Beethoven’s C minor Symphony begins by reproducing
the Finale of Mozart’s G minor, differently barred; or that Turner was in the habit of lifting his composition from the works of Claude Lorrain. Shakespeare or Handel or Beethoven or Turner would have thought it odd that anybody should be shocked."

I do understand the desire to protect one's work too and find it hard to take a single side.
One of the mistakes I made as a young designer was pushing back against trends and fads. My opinion at the time was that trends that weren't thought out from a position of UX principles were an anti-pattern to follow. As I matured more as a designer, I now think nearly the opposite - not following trends is an anti-pattern, since that's what your users will be used to.

Pull down to refresh is a great example of this. Not visible or discoverable at all, but was all the hype when Tweetie first released it. On paper it's an anti-pattern, but now it's so ingrained as a trend and pattern that it became expected, and is now muscle memory for many users.

The same goes with flat buttons - I used to be quite opposed to them since there was no visual elevation off the page designating it as a button. Now if you create a button with a bevel, users will think it's an ad, not part of the page itself.

Copying leads to harmony in the wider ecosystem, and it creates a defined agreement on what things are are how they work. It's an important part of the user experience.

Since youre beating around the bush, allow me to start.

I personally think affordability plays a role, but I think the driving factor, that applies to all developed countries and why we don't see people's pet ideas being common threads (socialized medicine will solve it! except in every developed nation with socialized medicine) comes down to hedonism, decadence and consumerism. People are living for comfort, entertainment, short term enjoyment, they're chasing shiny new things and they don't want to give that up to do something selfless like create good people. They don't want sticky hands ruining their new leather couch.

Prices going up aren't the cause, they're interlocked intimately as a symptom in a feedback loop. People aren't having kids so they can eat Korean barbecue for lunch every Tuesday, and so they have all this money that they're not spending. Or were, because everybody figures they can squeeze a few extra bucks out of them, and that adds up. Prices are going up because people are childless and so are more flippant with their money. Prices and fertility rate are interlocked tightly and one does not simply cause the other.

The only way out of course is that people accept a lower comfort level and buy only long lasting things that they actually need. But that's not going to happen, and that has a systemic cause too. I'd love it if you replied with your thoughts on what I've said, your 6+ factors, no matter how hard to swallow. I know for a fact most people reading this aren't going to like my premise that they are not having kids because they'd rather encase themselves in a constantly 73°F expensive memory foam ball, complete with genital stimulation and endless scrolling goggles. Scare some people off with me?
you can easily do that in your house and vehicle. people way over spend on those, especially now.

people are over spending on a lot of things that quickly add up, since we aren't talking about a 'specific person' its hard to say what. For example, people buy phones every year (1,000$ a pop), eating out can cost many thousands, etc.

Its also not uncommon for people to buy 20,000$ watches or hand bags.

Both the CHIP act and the infrastructure bill spent money we don't have. I am of the opinion that the federal government should be required to run a balanced budget just like local governments are. So yes, I do view both of those as having made us worse off.

I didn't say Trump and Harris are the same. I think both will be bad for our country, but for very different reasons.

I haven't seen anything from Harris that makes me believe she is competent or fit for office. While in Congress I was never impressed by her public hearings, she either stayed silent or meandered through very lazy arguments that were often illogical and surprising coming from a lawyer. As VP she has either been completely absent or ineffective. She was tapped to be in charge of correcting our immigration issues for example, other than a single photo of at the border I haven't seen anything come of it.

I don't expect I need to lay out why Trump is dangerous for our country. We may disagree on details like whether his felony conviction was unbiased or if you can be labeled a rapist without a conviction, but functionally we're very much on the same page of who he is as a person and why he shouldn't represent the country.

> This is not about voting for Harris or whoever will be nominated. This is about voting against a wanna be dictator who wants to dismantle our democracy and constitution.

This is where we really have different opinions. My while point in starting this comment thread is that I am sick of having to pick between the least shitty option. It isn't sustainable and ultimately there are very bad scenarios that can play out if voters allow two parties to offer whatever choices they want us to pick between. If Trump wishes to dismantle democracy and our constitution I'll never see that day anyway, I'll either be dead in a battlefield or on the other end of an absolutely terrible, horrific war that never should have happened.
Sure! I think Cognito is a decent solution. However, client-app integration can be tricky, and the documentation is quite ambiguous in my opinion. The recommended implementation option is Amplify, but I had concerns because it doesn't support HTTP-only cookies.

I also experimented with NextAuth.js, but its documentation wasn't great, possibly because they're working on a new major version. I struggled particularly with supporting multi-tenancy with Microsoft AD.

I noticed that you offer SAML over OAuth. I'm curious to try that out.
Thanks Tocs3! I would like to hear feedback from you!
SAML literally predates most modern cryptography, including basic notions like the inseparability of encryption and authentication. It's a backwater that until relatively recently was confined to clanking enterprise deployments, and OIDC means it will never be modernized; the "next modernizing step" would be to simply turn it into OIDC.
One day I decided to design a Makefile alternative, but I wanted to use YAML to benefit from the standard syntax and JSON schemas. I quickly realized I was just reimplementing Taskfile with different key names.

I love Task because it completely fits my mental model, I can use all the Makefile features I like without relying on arcane syntax.

Haha you reminded me of that idea in software engineering that "it's easy to make an algorithm faster if you accept that at times it might output the wrong result; in fact you can make infinitely fast"
In addition to reasons shared by other commenters, my main concern is XML Signature Wrapping.

XMLDSig APIs are not well designed. They check whether signatures in a document are valid, but signatures are not required to cover the entire document. XMLDSig APIs do not make it easy to confirm that signatures cover a specific element of interest, like saml:Subject.

An adversary can stuff a valid assertion within a forged one, and many popular SAML implementations would accept the forged assertion. This is mostly fixed now, but it's still one of those things that I must validate for myself in all new SAML service providers that I can influence.

The limitations of old game platforms didn't vanish, they are still used (and being re-discovered by new generations). One of my favorite games on this side of the new millennium is Celeste, for example.

Presumably any private equity firm you'd want to work for would respect the fact that you were capable of getting a good deal for your founder client (and the implicit assumption that because they have additional evidence that you are a better lawyer who is also loyal to their clients that they are more likely to hire you)?
No, that's not "the problem". Framing dissatisfaction with existing solutions as if there is a singular problem is not constructive.

Vitalik Buterin, one of Ethereum’s co-founders, is credited with this trilemma, and this (AFAICT) is where he first posted about it:

The trilemma claims that blockchain systems can only at most have
two of the following three properties:

* Decentralization (defined as the system being able to run in a
scenario where each participant only has access to O(c) resources,
i.e. a regular laptop or small VPS)
* Scalability (defined as being able to process O(n) > O(c) transactions)
* Security (defined as being secure against attackers with up to O(n) resources)

In the rest of this document, we'll continue using c to refer to the size
of computational resources (including computation, bandwidth and storage)
available to each node, and n to refer to the size of the ecosystem in some
abstract sense; we assume that transaction load, state size, and the market cap
of a cryptocurrency are all proportional to n. The key challenge of scalability
is finding a way to achieve all three at the base layer.

Good point. Most of the games I have played in recent years have been indie titles. Sometimes they are CPU intensive but rarely GPU intensive.

It feels like graphics in games have reached a sort of plateau now where the most visually realistic games are only marginally more realistic looking than something from nearly 10 years ago.

A bit of a side note and a bit of old man reveal,
it would be nifty to have the backup system write
the snapshots to cd/dvd/bluray disk.

I remember working in a company that had a robot WORM system.
It would grab a disc, it would be processed, take it out,
place it among the archives. If a restore as needed the
robot would find the backup, and read off the data.

I never worked directly on the system, and I seem to remember
there was a window that the system could keep track of
(naturally) but older disks were stored off site somewhere
for however long that window was.

(Everything was replicated to a fully 100% duplicate system
geographically highly separated from the production system.

> But you are forgetting #3, the one that actually makes up the largest proportion of businesses: 3- people that quietly, successfully, run their businesses in a sustainable, family and community oriented manner (not financial growth focused but personal growth focused) and then retire quietly surrounded by loved ones.

I wasn't forgetting them, they just aren't relevant to a conversation about venture capital, at least to me. There are plenty of small bootstrapped startups out there, but their ROI isn't high enough to justify a gamble on the part of investors. Likewise with the businesses you're talking about.

Yes the make up most small businesses, but most small businesses aren't looking for private venture capital, and don't fall into the category of what OP was claiming is "pump n dump".
Yeah, we made SAML over OAuth available mainly for ease of use in NextJS. Drop me a note (email in HN bio)if you end up trying us out. Would love to see whether we're on the right track.
They didn’t. Most orgs run with at least an n-1 Sensor version, with test groups for latest. This was essentially a definitions update pushed by Crowdstrike to all customers, regardless of the deployed sensor version.
Its impossible for an iGPU to get any speed close to a dGPU, because dGPUs run independent RAM and independent cache (including gobs of "infinity" cache for AMD chips).

Clocking memory at 500GB/s to 1000GB/s is a big deal when typical CPUs are only in the 50GB/s region (GPUs are on the order of 10x more bandwidth)

-------

Building a latency-optimized kernel necessarily means you're programming against an obscure NPU / APU rather than the typical H100s. Performance is upside down compared to H100 or other typical GPUs, where CPU-to-GPU latency on an APU/NPU is negligible while memory-bandwidth is a precious resource.

AMD made a bunch of kernels that did some silly video-based / camera-based gestures back in the Windows 8 days. So yeah, its possible to write efficient CPU-to-GPU integrated kernels that take advantage of zero-memory copies or other APU/NPU based tricks. Its just that if no popular APU/NPU comes out in the next decade, all that programming effort is for naught.

That is a myth that I have also believed until I had to install Windows Enterprise IoT on various kinds of embedded computers.

The Windows that comes preinstalled with most computers truly "supports a ridiculous variety of hardware", but that happens because some professional has already spent some time with the installation of Windows together with all the device drivers provided by the vendors of the various weirder components included in that computer.

When I had to install Windows on embedded computers I had countless problems. I had to use frequently some complicated methods to give device drivers to the Windows installer at an early phase, because it was not able to boot on those computers. Their BIOS/UEFI lacked many legacy features, while Windows lacked drivers for some modern features, so they were mismatched.

Even after Windows was eventually installed, some of those computers had SSDs with low writing speeds, which made them unbelievably slow in Windows due to some stupid and useless Windows services, which by default were writing continuously the SSD and it was very difficult to disable them. Fortunately, that was Windows Enterprise, so it was possible to disable Windows Updates. On some of the computers with problematic SSDs, after the initial installation, booting required more than an hour, because that much was required every day to perform Windows Updates. Only disabling both Windows Updates and various indexing and swapping services has lowered the booting time to normal values.

On the other hand, Linux booted immediately on any of those computers, without having to do anything, and in comparison with Windows it was blindingly fast. Obviously, because those computers were intended to be used as embedded computers they did not have any of the peculiar peripheral devices that are usually included in laptops and for which their vendors provide neither documentation nor Linux device drivers, so they are unusable in Linux unless successfully reverse-engineered, while working fine in the preinstalled Windows.

I'd say the main difference is that OAuth is granting the SP the ability to "do stuff" as the original user (including reading the user's profile details, as OIDC does), as opposed to SAML's approach of just sending attributes describing them.

For what it's worth, it is certainly possible for SAML SPs to flag that certain attributes should/must be released to them via their metadata, but the actual release is at the whim of the IdP and its operators. It's also possible for a SAML IdP to expose that level of detail to its end users and allow them to agree/disagree to the attribute release, although I'd be surprised if that behaviour was particularly common in practice.
