Yeah activity is really really low compared to the 80s especially on VHF and above. I don't do anything below that for lack of antenna space. So it can be boring. Digital is a bit better because it links repeaters in large groups.

But the heydays are over. During the 80s/early 90s it was really hard to break into the chat when I was driving to work. So busy. Back then there were no legal issues with speaking into a microphone while driving either. So it made the morning traffic much more fun.

But then the internet came and the whole "speak to people all over the world for free!" thing really lost its shine. The home computer before that did a lot already too (until they came on the scene pretty much all geeks were hams)

Why? They can already buy a Lenovo/HP/etc. laptop for <500$, FHD and 16 GB RAM (and most in that price range seem to have upgradeable storage/memory).

I'm not sure the $50-100 or so saved on the CPU would be enough to significantly improve build quality or a much better screen.

The N100 just just doesen't seem to have that many advantages over something like:

Yes, you get to save 5-15W or so, but you get a much slower chip with a way worse GPU. Still seems very niche.

Show HN: Tea-tasting, a Python package for the statistical analysis of A/B tests
I'm excited to introduce tea-tasting, a Python package for the statistical analysis of A/B tests

It features Student's t-test, Bootstrap, variance reduction using CUPED, power analysis, and other statistical methods.

tea-tasting supports a wide range of data backends, including BigQuery, ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Spark, and more, all thanks to Ibis.

I consider it ready for important tasks and use it for the analysis of switchback experiments in my work.

I know this is being used by Microsoft and other voices in tech to bash the EU, but I really don't buy that argument. For a start it would only cover the decision within the EU, yet Microsoft chose to do this at a global level - likely also pressured by previous anti-monopoly rulings in the US.

The main fall down here was a lack of rigor on their part, and Crowdstrike's. Thorough testing of all configurations of Windows is likely impossible - but it's clear this one affected so many it was a common one - why was this not caught?

As for the EU - I'd say where their problems lie is in applying rules and regulations, but only in the context of that time and space - there is no regulatory follow-up from the initial conditions to ensure that software continues to be safe, and few certifications offered outside private companies own certification. It's just been announced they are diverting budget away from FOSS projects towards AI ones in their Horizon 2025 budget, once again weakening the software ecosystem in favour of the-popular-thing-at-the-moment.

For their own sake they should be funding independent Red/Blue teams, and securing the internal supply chain of software - both to protect it from current threats, and future geo-political changes. But this is where they leave it up to market forces and this is why this situation will absolutely happen again and again.
Check out OpenZiti then - https://openziti.io/. Its Tailscale on steroids, with. (IMHO) a much more scalable implementation of zero trust principles.

The difference is that Microsoft, as an Operating System Vendor, wanted to get into the Security Software Market, with exclusive access to their operating systems that none of the existing security software had.

Apple does not sell security software so they don't have the same conflict of interest.

Microsoft could have responded to the EU request by creating a secure, sandboxed API (like the one Apple has for macOS) and used that both for their own security software and also let third-party software use it. That would have been fair market dealing.

But they took the lazy way out and just gave the third party software access to the kernel the same way their own software already used it, so they didn't have to rewrite their own solution.
This reads like a highschool assignment.

We are trying to change that with OpenZiti - https://openziti.io/. Its an open source network overlay built with zero trust principles and deny by default in mind. We also built it for developers, so includes SDKs and other means to embed overlay networking directly into the SDLC.
geokitten.com just uses your IP to "guess" where you are! Can confirm by using a VPN!
The article makes it more complex than it needs to be. push_back and emplace_back have different goals. The former works with existing objects, the latter gets used when you intend to construct a new one, right in the collection.

It happens to be that you can use emplace_back in place of push_back because copies and moves are just constructor overloads in C++. You shouldn't really use that, as it signals one intent, but does something else.
I like that articles like this in 2006 referred to Microsoft as "Redmond" - like Microsoft was an entirely country in its own right. "Washington said" when referring to the US government is common, but I don't think you see "Cupertino said" when referring to Apple these days.

The reasons were the chronic lack of wheat, especially hard varieties, lack of milk and cheese producing culture and technologies, lack of fresh vegetables and culture and storage and logistic technologies, lack of meat, lack of customers, lack of common sense etc.

C# has Interlocked https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threadin... which is strictly better than volatile because it lets you write lockfree code that actually observes the memory semantics.

"Volatile" specifies nothing about memory barrier semantics in either Java or C++, if I remember correctly?

That "car is slower than train" really only works when everybody happens to live near train station A and when the group of friends plans to take its vacation near train station B.

By plane it can be even worse : time to go to the airport + buffer of one or two hours to not miss the plane + landing and waiting for luggage and then time to go from the airport to your destination.

For our usual vacation, car takes 8 hours (950 kilometers) while plane takes 6h30... Still a win but then you're left with no car or having to rent a car: renting the car is another 30 minutes. So 7 hours vs 8 hours and you re stuck with a car inevitably (for me) shittier than yours.

Train isn't even close to competing time wise in our case. But I have fond memories back when, as a kid, we d put the car on the train and then take the same train.

I have nothing against rail and it s great it s developing in the EU. But on many cases it's simply not a time saver compared to car.
secured at the endpoints yes... I would argue you can go one step further, doing it at the application level. This is what we built (and open sourced) with OpenZiti (https://openziti.io/), the ability to embed an overlay network, built on zero trust and deny by default principles, directly into the app as part of the SDLC.

If you do this, your application has no listening ports on the WAN, LAN, or host OS network and thus cannot be attacked from the external network/IP.

The asymmetry of risk now favours the defender, not attacker. Oh, plus we also have pre-built tunnelers for endpoints if you cannot do app embedded.
Ah ok yes I'm never on HF. On HF it's more English only due to the many languages here in Europe. Especially during contests of course.

However people do have local chats and ragchews in the local language. It's more the contests that are English only (but that doesn't go any further than "59 good copy. Next."). Which is why I hate contesting, I find It so boring that nobody has time to speak. I have no drive to be a "winner" so I never care about the number of contacts.

In fact most people in the ham demographic here would speak very limited English anyway due to not learning it at school in their days.
Thinkpad 431s if you are on a low budget. It's the best performing cheap option, IMO.

Obviously block access to internet nonsense. I just started using ControlD.com and it works like a charm. Or, if you have the time, make the PiHole and your Home Lab & Network a project that you two build together.

Make the command line kid friendly, like using bat instead of cat and LSD instead of ls and so on. Colors are stimulating and fun. Something like the hyper terminal is another idea.

I would appreciate someone building a faster alternative to the hyper terminal in C or Rust.

And then there's Nand to Tetris, which you should pick up together as well.

You’re right in most of your comments however a fine-tuned model will be able to pick up nuances which are missed by a general model. For instance, AVP is used for HSCs, yet not related to flow cytometry at all. If you fine-tune an LLM with experts by your side one time it will be able to give you the grained cell types such as T-cell subsets. Plus, a regression model won’t give you the reasoning behind the given cell type annotation.

Tim Bray is an ass but he does have a point. The real business reason why sloppiness must be allowed is because businesses must be able to hire shitty undisciplined developers that can at least output something. Otherwise, there aren’t enough people in the world capable of getting this correct frequently enough to keep expenses low. As a result, 20 years later, front end developers are overpaid commodities that output a narrow range of garbage very slowly using a narrow set of abstractions.

[Aside: as an officer, S was, in 1984 terms, "outer party"; had he merely been a 1984-prole, would he also have wound up Grazhdanin S., a zek?]

As to S-partition: I was taken when reading about the Voodoo Iwa that its practitioners are said to state that there must be thousands of them, but humans are only aware of a hundred or so (and power laws being what they are, the common pantheon of these "saints" is much smaller); this seemed to me to be a much more reasonable prior than universal knowledge of the specifics of other partitions, especially when we have the finite minds and they the infinite.

There was a 60's joke in which the Pope has good news and bad news for his Cardinals: the good news — he had a 1:1 with God the other day; the bad news — she's Black.

I spent a lot of time walking and cycling the Ridgeway as a kid and teenager.

At one point I lived with my mum in a village just off it, and my dad lived in another village off it about 9 miles away. I walked that route often, alone and with a friend, in all seasons, sometimes through the night.

You definitely have a sense of it being ancient, and it's easy to imagine the people who walked it before you.

Be warned, in winter it can be very challenging to cycle along. It becomes deeply rutted due to off-roaders, and your pedals will strike the side of the deep, water-filled ruts. I cycled the whole thing (in sections) with a friend one winter. Hard work, and fell off many times.

A game that has similar building (albeit less "scriptable" since there's no redstone) is Enshrouded.

Also it's still in early access. I recommend you check it out if you enjoy building in Minecraft

No, things should be regulated so that individuals have no choice but to do the right thing. It's governments responsibility to steer Karen towards more sustainable consumption choices. Either tax unsustainable business to make it unprofitable, or tax purchase of their services so that it's not rational for Karen to buy their product / services. The ecological choice should be made the cheapest.

Universally in this world people live most ecologically in parts of the world where they are too poor to act otherwise, not where they are most climate or environment conscious. Voluntary personal responsibility gets you nowhere when it comes to solving large-scale problems.

Nvidia has the best hardware and software for deeplearning, but current use for it, and this huge demand was driven mostly about LLMs.

The workload done by LLMs can mostly be done by different hardware, that are more ASIC-like and efficient, see Grok for example.

If there aren't enough deeplearning uses for Nvidia hardware, meanwhile the big techs might not recognize on its balance sheet, its ability to generate money down the road will be much smaller.

I'd be willing to bet that in 10 years, H100s will be worth 0. It's a huge writedown.

I'm sure we'll do much more deep learning down the road, but the demand recently for this hardware has been too big, mostly because of hype, this will definitely have an impact on depreciation once the hypes fade off.

Even Meta, when they figure out they can do their own custom hardware to do their Instagram recommendations, they will talk directly to TSMC. The CAPEX on this is huge, so are the savings in case they find out a way to use custom hardware.

Google went through this route because the found out themselves that it's worth having their own hardware as they do a lot of AI. Given this, I believe that it's a huge risk to have H100s at the moment, so does Blackwell. It's a risky asset.
Windows does have the ability to have sovereign builds (and has had this since 2016?), but the capability wasn't present when the decision was made (in 2006). Windows build is complex and tightly coupled with performance testing, telemetry collection, etc and at the time this decision was made, not feasible to do.

Reversing a change from 2006 would likely bring anti-trust action from the remainder of the world immediately, as that change from 2006 is relied on by everyone else globally today.

The EUs stance isn't bad either, as MS has a competitor in this space that also relies on a kernel driver (MDATP does use a kernel driver) and it is unlikely MS would remove its own competitor from the kernel (at least this item was not discussed during my time at MS and I was in the security space of Windows).
