I guess in their defense the same attack can be used against any other OS so they're unintentionally protecting Linux as well, since they stated this was supposed to be a Windows-only system change. You can disable secure boot if you don't want to be secure. And, there is a way to disable the SBAT policy and keep secure boot if you want that, which is also insecure. Disable Secure Boot, login, sudo mokutil --set-sbat-policy delete, reboot again, re-enable secure boot. But, then you're susceptible to the attack.

I think understandably, everyone is concerned because it felt like an affront by MS against Linux. But, I don't think that was their thought process at all.

This is similar to how wild boar was hunted in Europe - there were special spears made with extra crossbars to reduce the chance of a boar reaching the spear holder after being impaled.
Am I the only one that went looking for Abelique in the app store? Darn... can't find it, maybe it got shut down? Or pulled for violating Apple's TOS?

It wasn't until I saw mention of nominations for a Hugo award that I realized I wasn't reading a (very compelling and surprisingly well written) app review.
Here is the original letter posted to a Chrysler fan site. He is proposing giving the employees stock and a seat on the board of directors.

No fine tuning yet. I was going to look into that but I think over avenues are more fruitful. RAG, GRAG and function calling for example.
The linked article is from Jan 2021?
Not GP, but from a Southeast Asian perspective here.

> waiting for rideshare pickup in a busy location where there are many vehicles and it’s hard to spot your uber / lyft. Like at an airport or after a concert. The driver may need to CALL to quickly describe where you should meet them.

Grab (widely used in SEA) has a built-in call and chat feature for this situation so both the passenger and the driver don't reveal their phone numbers.

> you have a scheduled furniture delivery to your home, but you forgot. The driver texts you they are nearby. Then again when they arrive. You don’t respond because you forgot and you are not near your phone. Would they not CALL you to please come to the front door and let them into the home?

> Your spouse or parent or child was admitted to the ER at the hospital. Their phone lists you as an emergency contact. You’re suggesting the hospital would use a chat app to contact you?

Since WhatsApp is prevalent here, yes. Most people will call you using WhatsApp, SMS and direct calls are usually last resort (and frankly, most direct call/SMS nowadays are either credit card sales, scams, or illegal gambling ads).
I'd say the lack of flexible boards isn't really about lane count.

A B650(E) board has enough lanes to give you a fast GPU slot, four CPU x4 slots running at 8-16GB/s each, and four chipset x1 slots running at 2GB/s each.
How about stopping Saturday and Wednesday mail delivery? In fact you can stop delivering mail to me right now.
Thanks for sharing your setup!

Nit: It's useful to distinguish between passwords (checked against a hash for auth) and passphrases (used for decryption). It's an important practical distinction because a lost password can in general be bypassed out-of-band somehow while a backup strategy for passphrases is essential.
So I recently learned about the logarithmic saturation phenomena for CO2, as well as the impact on significantly increased food supply with increased CO2 levels.

Are there any studies that prove these policy interventions will have any practical benefit going forward?
>Also, each segment of a wired network is a collision domain

huh? where "segment" means where you are using a hub not a switch? cuz that was a long time ago
> Meanwhile an OS uses the filesystem for just about everything and it is also a garbage collected system ...

so many serious applications end-up reimplementing their own custom user-space / process-level filesystem for specific tasks because how SLOW can OS filesystems be though
This reminds me of Amazon, they allow users to cash out their gift card balance in a few states, but not in most. They have the technical implementation but still limit their users.
I worked on LiveGraph for a long time at Figma. We went through our own evolution:

1. first we would use the WAL records to invalidate queries that could be affected (with optimizations for fast matching) and requery the data

2. then we used the info from the WAL record to update the query in-memory without asking the DB for the new result, it worked for majority of the queries that can be reliably modeled outside of the DB

3. I believe after I left the team reverted to the re-query approach, as managing a system that replicates the DB behavior was not something they were excited to maintain, and as the DB layer got scaled out, extra DB queries were less of a downside
The main "software" application I'm aware of is a connection to termination checking (whether a program actually finishes). This is in turn connected to automated complexity analysis, which is a more refined answer about how long a program takes to finish.
This is a couple steps removed from all that.

Ordinals do show up in the well foundedness check of definitions in ACL2, which is a common lisp interactive proof assistant with applications to software verification.

Both of these, while software, are somewhat niche. I'm not aware of a non formal methods / verification software context the ordinals would show up, but I'd love to hear it if so.

So, if you have two spin (1/2) particles together, this can overall act like either a particle with spin 1 or a particle with spin 0, right?

While 4 spin (1/2) particles could either act like a particle with spin 2, or like a particle with spin 1 (in one of three different ways) or like a particle with spin 0 (5 + 3*3 + 1 = 2^4 ) right?

So, what if we consider helium-4 nuclei in the spin 0 state?

Maybe that doesn’t make sense..
> but neither would it be an attempt to demean everyone who suffers from a learning disability

No, but it might have that net effect, to whomever is in earshot.

> And anyway, in practice, overwhelmingly such language is aimed at people of ordinary or even above average intelligence

If you don't think the kid who is struggling in school is being called a "retard," I don't know what to tell you.

Another example-- the word "boy." There's nothing intrinsically wrong with the word "boy," but it was used by a lot of people to demean black men. I certainly wouldn't want to say it to a person who would think I'm doing the same thing to that point. And at that point, maybe it's time to prune the word "boy" as a word of address out of my language, and discourage my kids from the "booooiiiiii" that would be interpreted very poorly in the wrong situation.
Lol that's cool. It would be hard to do secret messages but maybe I could do an audio remote control with this.

Data always needs a schema (unless it's random bits aka max entropy). The question is just where it's managed and enforced.

How does it compare with Liveblocks?
You’re forgetting the dynamic that allows battery swapping to occur there. You’re essentially leasing access to the batteries. I suspect in many countries leasing part of the vehicle (ie the part that actually lets you go anywhere) is pretty unpalatable. Otherwise, if you’re getting a battery swap you’ll get a battery of unknown quality. I know I wouldn’t want one.
I think there's a distinction between individuals caring and the corporate ("more than the sum" of individuals comprising it) caring.

In that sense, I don't see your experience as invalidating the statement "MS has zero vested interest in caring"?
I am trying to imagine what happens to a single contiguous mass that has both a part that is travelling at relativistic speeds, and a part that is not?

Maybe nothing much? From each parts point of view it is still simply in contact with it's neighbor and neither is moving relative to the other?
Oh, I don't think something like this should actually be implemented, but OP was looking for ideas and this was the first one that came to mind.
It's also a signal that you got screwed by the seller if they didn't tell you about it before you bought the bike.
The seaweed pellets they add to cows food that eliminated most of their emissions must be the most ingenious climate policy and breakthrough. Before these were invented we were looking at a situation where meat consumption (or at least beef) may have to be phased out.

The rapid development of battery technology must be a close second. I remember as a kid in the 1990s it was difficult to get good rechargeable batteries to power a RC toy car. They were often huge battery packs that would over heat, last a few minutes per charge and takes ages to power up. Now we have people carrying cars driving hundreds of kilometres on quick charging batteries.
Too bad neither Europe nor the US seems capable of building reactors at reasonable cost. Even China which is building reactors the fastest is only projected to have nuclear account for single digit percentages of its electric consumption for decades.
Here in Japan, you'd use the traditional phone service for those things. For normal people, those are all extremely rare events. I'm not the one who suggested eliminating the caller app altogether, I'm just pointing out that I wouldn't miss it too much if it was gone. Your prior examples were about "loved ones" and parents, and outside the US/Canada, people don't generally use traditional voice calling (or SMS texting) for those people, or really anyone inside their personal circle.

Also, we don't have Uber/Lyft here. Taxi services have their own apps (Go is the big one), and you'd use those. (Actually, we do have Uber, but I've never heard of anyone using it, and it seems to just connect riders with taxis anyway, unlike the "ride sharing" thing it does in the US.) But again, for most people, using these is rare: public transit is far cheaper, and taxis are generally expensive. I haven't used Uber/Lyft in a long time (since I was in the US), so I don't remember, but I'm surprised they don't have a voice-calling function built-in so drivers and customers aren't exposed to each others' phone numbers, as this seems like a security risk.

And this is Japan, which is generally a rather conservative country that still hangs onto a lot of old tech and practices (a lot of businesses still use faxes, crazily enough). But even here, absolutely no one uses traditional SMS or phone calling for their friends/family: they all use LINE. And making restaurant reservations using websites is very common (there are some behind-the-times places that don't support this though), something I never saw in the US.
I think this is a big misinterpretation of that Alan Kay quote, which was in response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11941656 - the author of that comment aims to create a programming language with a focus on "data processing".

Alan Kay has long wanted to "get rid of data" in programming, as described at http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~ram/pub/pub_jf47ht81Ht/doc_kay...

The entire discussion that this Alan Kay quote is from has always been about the prominence of "data" as a central concept in programming, not about other aspects like privacy or "big data".

"On one hand, no perspective shift is true to real life."

I cannot rightly understand the perspective (oops) that makes this sentence sane. A previous sentence mentions "true angles, the true scale of objects, and the true relationships between them" -- but preserving the relative scale of physical objects seems a lot less true to real life than modeling more accurately the lens which is our only visual portal out to those physical objects. I think a lot of the content in this piece around the impact of orthographic projection is valid, but this bit sure threw me for a loop.
I'd say it's an awesome syntax. Much better than Swift for example.
I would be concerned with sudden high intensity jerks, and with handling rotational acceleration (causing shear stress between different solid/liquid structures).

oops..... I misread the title as "apps built inside your computer" i.e. local apps... sorry.

I'm just starting using CoPilot and persistence to build RateMyPhotos[1], a python3 script that loads and runs aesthetic-predictor locally against your photos.

Long ago I had a lot of photos up on Flickr, then I tried to prune it using the likes from everyone else, and lost all of the likes... and then ragequit.

That was one of the stupidest things I've ever done. Since then, I've signed back up[2], but there's no way I'm going to manually go through 375,000 photos again and pick out the best ones to upload again.

I expect it to take somewhere around 3 seconds per photo, in about 2 weeks, it should be able to score all of them.

There is also an increased risk of decompression illness simply because passenger aircraft typically maintain a lower atmospheric cabin pressure (US federal limits pressure equivalent to 8,000 ft elevation). Going from a high pressure environment (underwater) to a low pressure environment (8,000 ft equivalent elevation in aircraft cabin) too quickly can also cause the bends. Dive computers use algorithms to calculate when it is safe to fly post-dive.
If it's freezing-ass cold or boiling-ass hot, sure. If it's a moderate-ass temperature, it doesn't make sense, sure, but not everyone lives where that happens and for some, even that's a bit of a problem.

The paper states the liver has 145 μg/g, about 30 times less than the brain but still a surprisingly high number. However, it is challenging to use that as a point of comparison. Would one expect the liver would have more than the brain because it is filtering blood, or less because it has mechanisms to prevent bioaccumulation ?
This gives me fond memories of building storage-as-a-service infrastructure back before we had useful opensource stuff, moving away from sun san, fibrechannel and solaris we landed on glusterfs on supermicro storage servers, running linux and nfs. We peaked almost 2Pb before I moved on in 2007.

Secondly it reminds me of the time when it simply made sense to ninja-break and rebuild mdraids with ssds in-place of the spinning drives WHILE the servers were running (sata kind of supported hotswapping the drives). Going from spinning to ssd gave us a 14x increase in IOPS in the most important system of the platform.
Here in Spain you can only order on the portal screens anymore (the only thing you can do at the desk is to pay if you only have cash). And there are no ice modification options there. You can only modify some of the burgers.

I didn't realise that in other countries they still have staffing where you can order. But I bet that will be changed soon too. They recently rebuilt all the restaurants here to make this change.

The good thing is that they have table service now though.
dr_dank summed it up back in 2003 [0]:

"BeOS was demonstrated to me during my senior year of college. The guy giving the talk played upwards of two dozen mp3s, a dozen or so movie trailers, the GL teapot thing, etc. simultanously. None of the apps skipped a beat. Then, he pulled out the showstopper.

"He yanked the plug on the box.

"Within 20 seconds or so of restarting, the machine was chugging away with all of its media files in the place they were when they were halted, as if nothing had happened.

"Damn."

There were 268 e-bike battery fires in NYC alone in 2023. 18 were killed and 150 injured. In a single year.

People die from lithium ion battery fires. Sure, the little ones may not be as big as what’s in e-bikes, but they are in far more intimate areas and under far less scrutiny.

Yeah, but mostly in Ukraine and other places outside of the States. Most companies make money not from registrations but from added services (email, hosting, etc.) or from aftermarket sales and dropped/expired domain auctions.

I'm transcribing the previous day starting 1AM every day, which is about as much as my old MacBook I have can handle. I'm in the process of applying for the Broadcastify Calls API which should give me access to real time feeds but it will be a challenge to get the compute needed to handle real time transcriptions.

The whole bit from the article:

> > You started a conversation by writing "Hi", or "Hello", or even maybe "Good morning Sebastian, I have a question". And then you waited. And waited. And waited for minutes (or hours if I was busy and you were patient) without a single word explaining what problem you were facing.

Yes, I've seen this in places, many places. Most times the person doing it immediately got guidance to stop doing it.

The only place where it persisted was a small shop where the founder and managers would also be doing it, and the technical team was leaking away at a speed I couldn't check for very long, as I was out pretty fast too. That could be one of the most clear sign they don't give a damn about online communication and won't care to adapt.

>...decide who should be part of the meeting

TBH I'm not sure to understand your answer. Of course I'm talking from my own experience, how could I speak for you ? Also, calls are costly, using them to understand who you're actually supposed to call feels wasteful. That can be done completely asynchronously in most cases.
They are far from cheap, and they are not secure either. I removed the 2FA from an account via chat without any authentication, and others said on HN that they managed to do the same. They are a terrible company - stay away! You can spend millions protecting your infrastructure, but if your domain is not well-protected, all can go down the drain instantly!

Yes, in bulk. If 100 people all mention essentially the same feature, it might be worthwhile. If just one person does it? Well, if it highlights something you never thought about, it can ofc be valuable, but it's not something I'd spend a lot of time on - especially if it's just adding to the overall feature creep.
It's an old feature. You have to open the door manually, and the new trains (especially on automated lines) don't allow this.
They could still become the next Apple, but they have to enter a period where everyone just assumes they'll go bankrupt (because they are teetering on that edge), then hire back an old CEO who nurtures some good ideas (and does a better job of minimizing the faults and selling the strengths than Melon Husk) and magically turns them into a company whose profits are measured alongside major economies.
