Lol. That reminds me of my first ever misadventure at KFC in .de around 2002, when I've only been used to Chicken Mc Nuggets by McD, and never been to a KFC before. (There weren't many of them in Germany at the time, anyways)

Gone there because a few friends wanted to, couldn't even believe I didn't know KFC. Got some, took a first bite... CRUNCH OUCH! WTF?!

I really expected them to be boneless.
You /can/ totally do it hardmode though. I did small plastic battlebots several years ago, and I went for Xbee teleop communication to a microcontroller, controlling PWM motor drivers etc. (no, didn't go far enough that this gave me any competitive advantage)

But my real passion is tying together servos/microcontrollers/motors letting me make custom built teleop'd quadrupeds with airsoft guns, lasers and cameras...

There's a lot of stuff you can do in robotics before you get to true autonomy.

> Reminds me of the lady who got burned by McDonalds coffee like, bro, you spill hot coffee on you then you might get a burnt. She won that one. McDonalds keeps it hot for sterilization/safety.

That's a pretty misleading description; they lost that case because they knowingly kept their coffee far above a safe temperature to serve, there had been a string of previous cases proving that it was obviously unsafe, and their negligence landed a woman in the ER (followed by being in the hospital for over a week, followed by permanent disfigurement and being partially disabled for two years).

I really, really wish you would use a different citation format.

That said, a lot of what the AMD paper talks about can be done without work graphs, just with more care required.
I am curious about the mechanics. But also, in order for victim blaming to take place, one has to actually be a victim. I'm not sure they were in this case, given the circumstances. It seems the courts have also come to that conclusion.

> Being able to enroll your own keys (or disable secure boot entirely) is a requirement for being a compliant implementation.

That may be true on x86, but on ARM, Microsoft specifically requires that you not be able to do either of those things:

> 13. On ARM platforms Secure Boot Custom Mode is not allowed. A physically present user cannot override Secure Boot authenticated variables (for example: PK, KEK, db, dbx).

> 18. Enable/Disable Secure Boot. On non-ARM systems, it is required to implement the ability to disable
Secure Boot via firmware setup. A physically present user must be allowed to disable Secure Boot via
firmware setup without possession of PKpriv. A Windows Server may also disable Secure Boot remotely
using a strongly authenticated (preferably public-key based) out-of-band management connection, such
as to a baseboard management controller or service processor. Programmatic disabling of Secure Boot
either during Boot Services or after exiting EFI Boot Services MUST NOT be possible. Disabling Secure
Boot must not be possible on ARM systems.
And of the modules, I would guess an even bigger fraction of the cells (the actual silicon dies) are made in China.

I recently learned that electricity meters cost ~150USD.

At that sort of price, for low usage users it might be multiple years simply to pay back the cost of the meter.

One can buy a $3 meter from China, but obviously it is less accurate. I'd like to see a system where less accurate meters are used, but you pay a small premium to cover any inaccuracies in metering.

Show HN: Auto switch displays during a power cut
Display Switch is a bash script that automatically manages display settings based on the power status of your laptop. It switches between laptop-only and extended display modes when the power source changes between battery and AC.

This was built out of need, as my monitor would turn off during a power cut and I had to switch displays manually or unplug the HDMI cable to view the laptop screen .

this looks incredibly bad from the implementation. there is a much simpler algorithm that works for hundreds of years in either direction of the present...

by comparison this is an absolute mountain of code. here is a good one - but note that it is only so accurate for each quarter phase (...and not sure why it destroys the formatting):

function approximateMoonPhase(julianDay)

{

// from Meeus p.319

// JDE = 2451 550.09765 + 29.530 588 853 k

// + 0.000 1337 T2

// - 0.000 000 150 T3

// + 0.000 000 000 73 T4

const t = toJulianCenturiesSinceJ2000(julianDay);

const lhs = julianDay - 2451550.09765 + (-0.0001337 + (0.00000015 - 0.00000000073 * t) * t) * t * t;

return lhs / 29.530588853;

}

enjoy. its from the same source as your work appears to use...

which, as someone who as implemented a ton of this stuff. its kind of a damning sentiment that we still refer to such an old book instead of learning the problem space and making better solutions... i have a whole book in me about this at some point.

Not with the attitude! An ad-scrubbing AR filter is certainly thinkable, though probably not actually practical as long as strapping goggles to your face in public is considered the preserve of terminal dorks.

However, if it did happen, the arms race to prevent ad evasion in real life would be interesting. Glass Earth, Inc. by Stephen Baxter is a good short read along the extension of those lines (though the image of a multibillion satellite communications monopoly using a vast fleet of, uh, 67 geosynchronous satellites hasn't dated well!)

My understanding is that crew are trained to deal with "point pressure events" on board space vehicles. There are a variety of contingency plans for this sort of thing (once briefly shared a cube with a Bigelow Aerospace alum and he talked for hours about space station pressure vessels) ranging from Whipple shields to various "super glue" or "duct tape" remedies that may be applied.

Worked out very well in clearing the city of advertisements or in improving the quality of life of its people because they see less public advertisement?

In Berlin the largest bill board provider (Wall GmbH) also builds public toilets. Thanks to them they are much more plentiful around parks. Forcing them to go out of business would take those with them.
Well, when you put up the CEO of Nvidia as an outstanding example, I agree.

>hindsight grants better insight into decision making

That may be true but that's not the point.

You can't compare a company started when Nvidia did, against anything recent without involving a fair bit of hindsight.

And you can only see how it really turns out by waiting until now :)
Or, alternatively, realize both are valid options and have different use-cases.

If we urbanistas weren’t subsidizing your lifestyle and you stayed exclusively in your suburb and never went into the city, then we wouldn’t complain.

But highways get built and my taxes get redirected to support your commutes instead of improving our inner core, so complaints will continue.
Various negative consequences but off the top of my head:

- Any regulation needs to be written, read, analyzed, made sure to comply with, defend in court, etc. which costs money.

- I might want to be very generous and voluntarily take back items from my legit customers because I find out it was good for business, but also have mechanisms in place to prevent abuse by a small minority of bad customers (restrict a subset of products, limits on the number of purchases you can return, etc). Once you codify it in law, it forces my hand in many ways, increasing prices making experience worse for my good customers.

- The regulation may change and the retailer may need to suddenly adapt to comply.

- It may not hurt those particular stores, but prevents cheaper competitors from emerging, which is a bad thing.

To show this whole thing is kind of stupid, where does "two years" come from? Some asshat in European parliament? Why not twenty years? Why not two months?
I wouldn't discourage speculation on the price of the physical dwelling (i.e. the house). But land speculation is corrosive to society, and the way to fix that is with a land value tax.

> If people are allowed to express political opinions, some opinions will inevitably become popular. Sometimes that happens because people don't like the outcomes of the market. Then they try to change things by regulating the market. Repeat that often enough, and you get more and more regulations over time.

This is not caused by free speech, it's caused by an error in the way our system was designed.

The premise was that something should not become law unless it has widespread buy-in. So the federal government had limited, specifically enumerated powers and passing a law required a majority of the House, a majority (or filibuster-proof majority) in the Senate (which was meant to represent the states) and the signature of the President (or a veto-proof majority in the legislature).

But we de facto interpreted out the enumerated powers by reading the commerce clause so expansively, and Senators are no longer appointed by state legislators so the states have no representation at the federal level anymore, which took the brakes off what legislation could be passed. Which severely exacerbated the main defect:

We made it just as hard to repeal a law as to pass it. So we keep accumulating laws there is no longer widespread consensus to keep, because the corrupt influences who want the law only need to control all three bodies once and then the law is stuck for as long as they can maintain control of even one.

It should be easier to repeal a law than to pass it.
Here's an article about the rule being made in the first place (IIRC, the rule got made at the same time Windows on ARM was itself first given to manufacturers): https://softwarefreedom.org/blog/2012/jan/12/microsoft-confi...

I'm not sure how it's working on those laptops, but I'd imagine the choices are either that Lenovo got given an exception, the rule as a whole got changed, or that Microsoft just hasn't noticed or is intentionally looking the other way.
There are plenty of issues. You simply can't write a method that e.g. accepts a read-only collection but does not accept a mutable collection. You can't use a "marker" interface with no methods/members to indicate intent. I mean sure you can write programs in it and they'll work most of the time, but if that's what you want you might as well use an untyped language.
In my experience this really is not an issue. There’s an intentionality to using objects and you’re not a maddened fuzzer trying to plug random objects into arbitrary functions with no rhyme or reason.

It’s essentially a less likely version of using the wrong callback, something which has undoubtedly happened in the fullness of time but is of no real concern.

No in my opinion the issue is the opposite: implicit structural interfaces make it harder to discover what interfaces a type implements, and what you can do with it.

A secondary effect being that mismatches have worse reporting, whether you’re trying to implement an interface or the interface has changed from under you the compiler only reports use site so from there you have to did out what the type is and why it does not conform anymore, things get worse if side casts are involved. There’s actually a pattern for checking conformance:

var _ Iface = (*Type)(nil)

Mmm yummy.

Oh yeah and if the interface removed a method and you didn’t realise you might be dragging that useless methods for a long while. Then again it’s not like your Java-style interface is any different.
They do contribute to society, and they do useful things. This is evidenced by the fact they are still in business and their customers still give them money.

Now granted they may not benefit -you- directly, they may even make -your- life worse, but -society- as a whole keeps them around.

Personally I'm not a smoker, so cigarette companies (to me) are a net loss. On the other hand enough people see them as a gain so I bow to societies vote.

> As part of our IMO work, we also experimented with a natural language reasoning system, built upon Gemini and our latest research to enable advanced problem-solving skills. This system doesn’t require the problems to be translated into a formal language and could be combined with other AI systems. We also tested this approach on this year’s IMO problems and the results showed great promise.

Wonder what "great promise" entails. Because it's hard to imagine Gemini and other transformer-based models solving these problems with reasonable accuracy, as there is no elimination of hallucination. At least in the generally available products.
Interestingly, the particular retailer in question, actually offers at least "second year warranty" for free to products you purchase from them at no explicit additional cost, so you don't have to make a trade-off by summing all the halves of poor-tasting cakes. The point is there is a choice of retailers. You don't need the regulation hammer for everything.
Hawaii also has a billboard ban. It was really jarring moving back to Illinois after getting used to not having them. It seems pretty clear that the negative impact of billboards far outweigh the benefits so I'm always hoping more places outlaw them.
You probably notice larger companies more, but I was in Orlando recently, and lots of the billboards there were for "small" local companies.

Where I live it's a spread between big companies, local events, startups and so on.

Is that the "usual case" really? I find it very rare actually.

You really think "Smart TV" is some collusion/conspiracy and not emergent from the market behavior? The most malicious theory I can come up with is that Smart TV makes more money for the manufacturers due to the ad opportunity, therefore they sell an inferior product to the consumer —in our minds— similar to bundling crapware in Windows laptops, but that still does not make it collusion or market distortion.

Under that theory, it just means dumb TV would have to be a comparatively more expensive product and I am willing to bet even the nerds who care about dumb TV will be buying the smart one, airgap it, and connect an Apple TV. Effectively no one would be paying even $50 more for dumb version of a TV.

In reality, I believe the average Joe & Jill actually strongly prefer Smart TV.
Yes travelling can really create a sense of what you have, or lack.

By your logic, heroin dealers benefit society too.
Hmm this article seems misleading. I suppose it's trying to make the point that application designers usually don't need to think too hard about it, because it's already being addressed by a quorum consensus protocol implemented by someone else. This is a bit of a tautology though; the author seems to be saying 'assume you have a solution to CAP theorem -- now isn't it silly to worry about CAP theorem?'.

One of the fundamental assumptions of CAP theorem is that you can't tell whether or not you have a partition. If you have an oracle that can instantaneously tell you the state of every subsystem, then yeah, CAP is pointless.

But if one of your DBs is connected, reporting itself as alive, and throwing all its writes into /dev/null, you won't be able to route traffic to a quorum of healthy instances because it's not possible to be certain that they're all healthy.

This is what CAP theorem is about: managing data in a distributed system where the status of any given system is fundamentally unknowable because of the Two Generals' Problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Generals'_Problem)

In many cases in Cloud though, we can skip that technical stuff and design systems as if we really _did_ have an oracle that could instantaneously and perfectly tell us the state of the system, and things will typically work fine.
