> and Microsoft (ironically) seems to put some effort into ensuring their tools works across all the 3 major browser engines

I don't know why that's ironic. The Microsoft web teams have always had a focus on being fairly standards compliant. The Microsoft Browser team themselves definitely went down a route of stagnation with IE6, but a lot of that had to do with W3C's stagnation as much as Microsoft's anticompetitive behavior. They also implemented massively useful technologies that are ubiquitous today, such as XHR.

They get a bad rap, for deserved reasons, but that decade of stagnation and non-Standard ActiveX controls wasn't fully on them.
For net emission, that investment may be better utilized in upgrading transportation and infrastructure and run peaker gas plants.
Linux/Unix Kernels allow you to do some insane stuff. My best current example was swap on VRAM but this is even better.
It can also protect application domain secrets and CNG private keys, and it looks like they are starting to use it for Windows Hello, too:

It’s definitely a work in progress but I mostly found it disappointing when someone uses a comic from 2013 to argue against the kind of tools which have been getting built in the subsequent decade to prevent those kinds of failures. I wish we’d go further sooner but at least we’ve broken the assumption many people had in the 2000s that there was nothing you could do about it.

I cannot remember a moment when Konqueror felt good enough for me as a daily driver, but it was impressive anyways.

From a community perspective, it would have been a great thing to push it forward further, spend resources on it, and have at least one web browser that isn't somewhat wicked.

Admittedly, back then, we all hoped that Firefox would be that 'friendly' browser, and it probably truly was at that time.

Time has changed. Now I'm forced to like a browser that is always just slightly less evil than a one that would even IE look friendly. And with every version we are now waiting when they also will drop the manifest v2 support for dubious reasons. And even if that will never happen, they will continue to find other ways to disappoint me.

Yes, khtml was at least a nice time to remember. :)

PS: My personal feeling is that "impressive but not good enough as a daily driver" was and is true for some more KDE apps. This is why I use Plasma Desktop, but barely any more of their apps than Dolphin and maybe kate to some degree. I know all you're going to say now about free software and how it works and so on, and you're right, but technically, it would be sooo much better if just half of the email client projects (or office suites, IDEs, photo editing, ...; you name it) would exist, but with more developer powers behind it. But I'm digressing......
I agree with you in some sense. That is one of the better illustrations but it isn't very compelling.

In fact, one telling point is that it demonstrates that in 20,000 BCE industrialisation and rapid global warming of 4 degrees would have ushered the world into the unthinkable horrors of ... somewhat better than the present day because they'd have consumed more energy than we have. Change is clearly not automatically a bad thing.

China is also building two new coal powered plants per week. Far more than the rest of the planet combined: https://www.npr.org/2023/03/02/1160441919/china-is-building-...

China cares above anything else about power, both political and electrical.
And then you just ssh into them from home. Wouldn't be the first time I saw that.
> The only issue is that, like the Sahara, but unlike the Arabian peninsula and the American Southwest, Australia is not closely located to any other major consumers of power, so will need to build that kind of infrastructure.

Not that I'm an expert of anything but Australia has a lot of mining of resources that I would think could use a lot of electricity? Like instead of sending iron ore to mainland China, why not make steel in Australia if electricity is cheap?
Your favorite brand likely has Samsung parts in it, and you won't be asked to buy a Samsung car.
So? When you charge at home you are not going to need the fast charging capability of this new battery. The limiting factor is the onboard charger which for Tesla vehicles could be as low as 7kW. So it's moot.

All you are doing is to sow confusion about home charging and public DC charging.
What Google rivals want after DOJ's antitrust trial win
It's still a good thing, but isn't this misleading, since solar capacity would only be able to run 1/3 of the day-ish? Not sure about wind but again guessing it's not 100%.
I love textual analysis of this sort, and have done some vaguely similar analysis of HN front page activity[1], which includes some by-submitter and by-site breakdowns.

About a decade back I'd used a somewhat similar listing of "top global thinkers", compiled from Foreign Policy magazine, to come up with a proxy for substantiveness / quality ratings of various websites / domains / TLDs. I've wanted to follow that up with something based on philosophers, on the general assumption that such references tend to be more-than-topical, especially after one gets beyond the most popular / well-known names. In particular I'd found that there were disproportionately many references to the current/previous Popes (largely in highly populist publications), to Noam Chomsky (largely in leftist ones such as AlterNet), and Paul Krugman (a columnist at the NY Times whose name often appears on pages as part of the Times's teasers, in addition to his own columns and mentions in other articles). But I'd found the results overall to be informative. In particular I'm somewhat chuffed at my creation of the PF-KK ratio, which measures the prevalence of the list versus an arbitrarily-selected alternative search string to try to assess overall site substantiveness.[2]

I've long wanted to do a repeat / more in-depth similar study, though there've been a few key challenges. One is coming up with a broader or more diverse list, of which TFA would be an excellent source. Another is that Google have made it far more difficult to conduct automated Web queries. My initial study required about 10,000 queries, which had to be spaced out by a minute or more if memory serves, and took over a week to run. Expanding either the domain or search lists vastly increases the number of queries required. I believe there are now some web query (as opposed to search) databases, though access to those remains challenging. Given the rise of AI and the ability to generate content based on numerous criteria, I'm not sure that such methods would be particularly useful, the Dead Internet may well be upon us.

I'd also love to see the methodology of the Plato collection extended to earlier authors and philosophers, though I can see where that can be problematic, given variances in names (e.g., "Avicenna" or "Ibn Sina"?), distinguishing authors or philosophers from translators or editors, the problem of commentaries (credit to the original, the commentator, both?), etc., etc. Kudos to Eric Schwitzgebel for his work.

No, his name was 百福 which means "hundred fortunes". "Lucky peach" would be written as 桃福。

"Momo" can also mean "thigh", but then again that is a different character (腿/股). The most confusing part about languages influenced by Chinese, and the reason/excuse to keep using Chinese characters, is the high amount of homophones. Example for "momo": https://jisho.org/search/%E3%82%82%E3%82%82

Max capacity is not equal to actual production volumes.

Also some of that capital would be better invested at cleaning up the outputs of the coal plants. Supposedly there are desulfurization units in 90% of their plants. The actual pollution numbers disagree with that.
Some people just get warm fuzzies at the idea of theoretically being able to sue someone if they need to. Usually these are people who've never actually looked into what it would take to even start a lawsuit.

Google is killing one of Chrome's biggest ad blockers
There is a lot more technology today than back then, so it isn’t really a fair comparison. Still, it’s good that China took the problem seriously, there was some time in 2010 when they were clearly in denial (the Us embassy in Beijing crazy bad air incident that got Twitter blocked).
You're asking for a benchmark result for a CPU which just came out and has a configurable TDP that hardly anybody is going to have set to its lowest value, if they even disclose it, much less have done so in a test against the original M1. If you think a source for that even exists you can provide a link.

But the result seems pretty obvious. Even the 7nm Ryzen U-series at 15W (e.g. 7730U) was beating the 5nm M1 on multi-threaded workloads and the HX 370 is well ahead of both on single-thread performance. Single-thread workloads aren't significantly power limited, so to not be the case the Zen5 HX 370 would have to be slower than the Zen3 7730U on threaded workloads at the same TDP, which seems unlikely.
or did you even read? the latest data shows:

"Coal power additions were about 40 GW in 2023, while the first half of 2024 saw only 8 GW of new coal capacity, according to Rystad Energy’s estimates."

the additions is significantly lower in 2024, and the trend is showing a decreasing, dramatically.

also, any country does not seek political influence is non-sense. then what is your point?

Honestly! From a non-corporate perspective this sort of thing is a welcome development. The constructive concern is whether this might enable coreboot/libreboot on newer generation processors, and if not then whether it's ergonomic enough to at least enable widespread neutering of AMD's built-in trojans.

(PS if you're worried about the illegibility of your computer's storage devices and your resulting inability to completely wipe it and reinstall, then that sounds like a problem with your motherboard!)
Windows updates has always been free too. Microsoft still made quite a bit money from new sales of Windows and corporate subscriptions until they switched to ad-infested model. Why Apple cannot? They have the biggest margins in hardware sales alone compared to other hardware vendors.
Can we dive into this further?

Would you be willing to publish the iOS OCR server you made? It would be greatly useful in some of my products, as as you’ve noted other options have either low-quality results (tesseract, some cloud-based solutions) or are expensive in comparison for large amounts of images (most cloud-based solutions). That and it’d allow some of us to put our old phones to use.
A third of the day is the winter solstice in fairly northerly latitudes. It’s better the rest of the year and the further south you go.

The other thing to remember is that production and storage capacity are cheap to expand, so the better question is how often it’s the case that it’s dark at times of peak demand long enough to exhaust the grid storage capacity. Currently, that’ll be the case but I’d bet that a decade from now it’ll be much less common.

Just went from a side-by-side to a French Door. (I admittedly have an upright freezer in my basement.) This seems so much better than what I had. The freezer drawers are shallow and much easier to see stuff I might want in the near-term than with the side by side.

It is fairly deep and that takes some discipline for the refrigerator but I've been good with that so far. Not that many locations where things can disappear. We'll see how long the discipline lasts. It "feels" like a bigger fridge/freezer even though I think the volumes are about the same.
The premise is that others can now use the same process as the M1 did to make fanless CPUs. Which they can, but they could always make fanless CPUs. The issue is that people also want them to be fast, which is not an absolute measurement fixed for all time, it's relative to competing contemporary systems with more cooling, which will always be faster.
The world is a much better place with a saint like you.

First of all, he could release it anonymously. Second, what law or contract would he be breaking anyway? An NDA with Apple that he never signed?

The US didn't have solar and wind as real alternate energy options in the 1970s or '80s. They had nuclear, but all the environmentalists hated it then.
Ever since I heard of TCPA in the early 2000s I was of the opinion that this is technology that undermines the owner's control of their own computer. Back then it even seemed as if that is a move by Microsoft to get rid of Linux, which gladly didn't happen. It has nothing to do wit Intel Vs AMD. At all.
I used to lug around a 250W charger for my gaming laptop (needed the GPU at uni), it's actually not that bad. No need for air cooling.
Well it's an ecosystem that is meant to be easy to use by people who don't know what they're doing.
How do rust projects work over rust versions?

Is rust stable enough from 20-24 that the project would likely remain in a state to compile on a new rust tool chain? Do "Editions" completely solve this?
I want it to be easier to develop local-only offline apps and I want to verify that they are offline by being able to see if they are sending network traffic in the same way I can currently use browser tools to see what data is coming from this web page.

I went back and forth. I do have a lot of condiments for ethnic cooking and so forth that have pretty good refrigerator lives for a home kitchen. I think the real trick is to keep leftovers and genuinely perishable stuff towards the front.
The point is the slope of the graph, not the position. Yes, climate changed in the past, just never so quickly, and by quick, we mean really really quick (in comparison to previous warming and cooling cycles). We really are in unknown territory here, and yes, things might actually be OK, or maybe not so bad as we move from a planet that can sustain 8 billion humans to 2 billion humans, or maybe we all get replaced by transhuman AI in a few generations anyways that have no problem adapting. We know there will be consequences, we just argue about how severe those consequences are, and if lifestyle changes can really turn things around (climate change optimists), or are we powerless to do anything at all (climate change pessimists).

This is a really slick player! I have a feature request though. I noticed almost right away that NSF (NES/Famicom) songs are in stereo and seem to have some sort of reverb filter applied. The original console is mono only, so this suggests that whatever core is performing NSF playback is layering on these additional effects. I'd rather hear the stock audio coming out of the console. Can this be exposed as an option?

Solar is the cheapest power generation source. China wants more power. They still build coal plants for peak demand.

I can't wrap my head around how you confirm the results, when any measurements are still limited by C. Even if you've got two atomic clocks in sync at each end of the experiment, surely you can only verify they are in sync as accurately as the latency between them? (e.g, if two clocks are 100 light-nanoseconds apart, you can only confirm they match to within 100 nanoseconds?).

edit: If I'm understanding this article correctly, https://www.icfo.eu/news/2177/long-distance-quantum-teleport..., they are still limited by 'classical hardware', and the measurement of the entangled particle takes time. So this doesn't yet allow transferring information faster than C?

I know essentially nothing about Z3 but it seems like there's a potential problem in the code. There's a section headed by the comment "All hits and miss counts must be positive" followed by a bunch of assertions that those numbers are greater than 0. Isn't it possible that you have 0 hits or misses? I mean, what if your season is short and you only face a couple of lefty pitchers and strike out both times?

In any case, I would explain the paradox differently than the author. The author says: "The key to understanding the paradox is that the players did not bat against the same set of pitchers. A batted against 5 lefties and 12 righties; B against 2 and 11."

I would say instead that the key to understanding the paradox is to observe that both players are much better when batting against lefties and that player A batted against lefties much more often, both in absolute and relative terms. In other words, A is not as good against lefties as B but he faced a lot more of these comparatively easy pitchers.
