> No. Searching for an autism cure does not bring stigma to autistic people, the > same way searching for a cancer cure does not bring stigma to cancer patients.
Searching for a cure is just trying to improve people's quality of life. If a cure were hypothetically found, nobody would be forced to get it. If someone likes having autism, more power to them!

Again, completely misunderstanding the point. The point in question is arguing that it should be cured. I am not (and am not aware of any mainstream arguments that exist right now) saying that no one should even look for a cure/treatment. These are two entirely different things. There are plenty of people with varying degrees of autism spectrum disorder living completely normal lives that 1) wouldn't choose to accept such a cure and 2) probably would have been forced on such a cure if it existed in their childhoods.

This is what people push back against.
Yes, things are drastically different on MacOS. There's like a whole nother level of APIs ip there

thats the kind of nitpick that got us where we are today :)

if you're talking with users, you assume alphabets and map from the languages.
In the first Lebanon war, Israel invaded Lebanon to strike against PLO. At this time, Hezbollah did not really exist, or was at least small and insignificant. It grew as a force in opposition of Israel's occupation.
As I said, it's approximable to arbitrary degrees of accuracy.

So it quickly turns into a question of perfect tools and other things that don't actually exist.

Somewhat pedantically, if it were archs and lines, I would consider it differently - they are hypothetical constructs and subject to hypothetical boundlessness.

But a straightedge and compass are not imaginary things; they are things of the material world and they are subject to material limitations.

Even one million is nowhere close to infinity, but the sum from x = one to one-million of 1/8^x is so stupidly close to 1/7 that you're most likely getting your toolkit delivered by the Archangel Gabriel himself.

And in less that ten minutes I could write that entire number to file.
I think you're assuming that all pagers of this model were being sent out like this. That's unlikely.

Much more likely is they compromised someone in Hezbollah that was doing the ordering, or the distributor/vendor they ordered from, modified a couple thousand devices and sent them pretty much directly to their enemy, and only their enemy, to distribute among themselves. Then waited a bit, and set them off.
Yeah I was confused for a moment there.
My son has rather severe autism and I know from his own self expression that he hates how much he struggles every day and would absolutely want better help were it available. For him, autism is unpredictable, frustrating, and exhausting. It absolutely can be a disabling disorder. Perhaps not for everyone, but please don’t minimize the community who are genuinely struggling.

As they always say, this is a very broad spectrum disorder and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it subdivided as our understanding improves.

Those who want to continue to live with autism will continue to have that option. But those like my son who struggle want options, too.
Most people spend that much time watching YouTube or TV everyday, if not more.
"[...] help ensure their time is well spent."

I struggle to think of time on Instagram being well spent. Perhaps less badly spent?

Also I wonder how they'll do age verification and "parent" verification, might end up being very trivial for most teens to work around the restrictions using secondary accounts. Thinking about it, the policy might be more for show than anything else.
In single core performance. Still very impressive given the clock speed gap and power usage gap.
Sorry, but I really don't understand your claim. You say

> The only alternative is to rely on patter recognition, but that is not a general solution.

but then you say

> we can solve, _non-algorithmically_ and with finite resources, problems that _algorithmically_ cannot be solved with infinite resources

How do you propose that we humans solve these problem in a way that both isn't algorithmic and isn't reducible to pattern recognition? Because I'm pretty sure it's always one of these.
I think there's a few things at work:

1. Men are socialized to only be emotive in aggressive or masculine ways. Expressing vulnerability is met with mockery until you learn to stop doing it.

2. Sometimes people don't know how to communicate in a way that's effective without being tactless. Sometimes they think such communication isn't possible, expressed in cliches like "truth hurts", "I'm just showing you tough love" or "you need to grow a thicker skin." (Sometimes this works, but in my experience it's actually a lot easier to communicate if you don't express yourself in a way that's personal and insulting, it distracts from what you actually want to discuss. My policy for expressing uncomfortable criticism is, "speak plainly and clearly, drop the superlatives, and get it done sooner than later.")
Not bad. Can’t see if they have a fixed width version though.
>so presumably there's some other low-level non-blocking call

Correct, CFNetwork is open source so you can check implementation but last I remember it used some variant like `getaddrinfo_async`. But Apple really doesn't want you (the end-user) to use getaddrinfo (or the async variant CF exposes) to resolve an IP and then directly connect() via that ip, everything is geared towards connect-by-hostname since then Apple's can internally handle the implementation of happy-eyeballs.

Edit: You can read https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/72/slides/plenaryw-6.pdf for their thoughts on why they don't like the getaddrinfo() model [there are speaker notes at the bottom of each slide]
Maybe something to do with AES 128bit blocks
> the Nintendo Switch, and Nvidia looks set to power the Switch 2

Which runs a very old mobile chip which was already outdated when the Switch came out. Unless Nintendo is planning to go with something high-end this time (e.g. to compete with the Steam Deck and other more powerful handhelds) whatever they get from Nvidia will probably be more or less equivalent to an mid-tier of the shelf Qualcomm SoC.

It's interesting that Nvidia is going with that, it will just depress their margins. I guess they want to reenter the mobile CPU market and need something to show off.
I might have just drunken too much of the koolade and believed in the mythos of lowflyinghawk + customer obsession.

What I meant by this is, in my personal opinion, there were a bunch of half baked products they should have just not mentioned at reinvent because said products never really materialized or had significant usage oncerns for a long, long time after the announcement.

The pressure to announce more and more at reinvent while the quality of what was being announced dropped was the specific feeling I'm talking about.

Sorry kind of on a caffeine high and brain isn't working too well right now. I'm also reluctant to throw shade on the products/teams I'm thinking of because I didn't work on them and I don't want to give them any heat, but I'll say it was in the 2017-2019 era I felt it start to change.

I think it contrasts with the really cool launches like Lambda, Aurora, API Gateway, Sagemaker, etc that has just come out before then.
After upgrading to Sequoia, I could not browse with Safari or Mozilla. What fixed it for me was to go to the DNS settings for my Wi-Fi connection, and add Google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8. and 8.8.4.4). They replaced the autofilled DNS servers that were there.
That's great to hear! C# was my first love as a programming language, but it's been some years. We would love to support it with Pax.
> Have Israel lay down their arms and focus on peaceful gardening and few Israeli Jews will survive.

That's because the entire notion of Israel as a concept is predicated on it being under constant existential threats.

If Hezbollah goes away, then nothing changes in Lebanon: Lebanese identity isn't based on armed resistance. Israeli identity, however, has nothing else going for it besides armed conflict.

If conflicts were to go away, so would Israel. Israeli Jews would just be absorbed into whatever local culture they're in, just as they were prior to the formation of Israel (and just like they are outside of Israel). The remaining ones would be the ones engaging in armed conflict -- just as the original groups like Irgun and Lehi were.

Swift has packages and a module system.
Even the spokesperson of Hezbollah wouldn't say that the current round of war is "literally just Hezbollah firing back". If you're joking then I'm sorry for not catching it, but if not - Hezbollah announced that it's attacking Israel in support of Hamas's attack on Israel.

As for your second point, you're pointing to an Israeli strategy of fighting Hezbollah by pressuring Lebanese citizens against it. This has nothing to do with having the demolition of Lebanon as a goal.

Edit: I also recommend you read the Hebrew version of the Dahiya doctrine wikipage. As the doctrine is Israeli and in Hebrew originally, it explains it in much greater details. The doctrine has nothing to do with destroying Lebanon.
"I struggle to think of time on Instagram being well spent. Perhaps less badly spent?"

There are a lot of people that use Instagram to follow artists for inspiration for art. This seems like a pretty good way to spend time.
Would you agree that a cure should be available? Obviously everyone can choose for themselves if they want it cured.
Not only is it potentially cheaper, it can be better than rolling your own stuff in-house.

Kadokawa can tell you all about how their in-house shit (literally, Japanese suck at computers) got pwned while the stuff they had in the cloud (I hate the term, but it is what it is) were unscathed.

Keeping in-house has its benefits, but the costs are also steep.
allofus.ai already congregates all of the thinking of any creator on YouTube into a single mental model and allows you to interact with their synthetic self.

It was pretty easy to find with the Settings app.

"Find a setting" > type "joy" suggests "Setup USB game controllers". Lists the controllers/joysticks. Click "Properties". Click "Calibrate..."
As an adult I agree on principle, but how old are your kids? The social pressure to be present in these things must be tough to deal with as a teenager. Can they still access it on a computer?
Also 0 chance. Well maybe under some specific unrealistic constraints.

But I am a fan of alternative approaches to the typical stuff just for the fun and learning aspect of it. I'd never come on here and be like "oh well that's cute, but it's useless, why can't we just x".

For example I think Imba is pretty cool and I've used it for a couple throwaway personal projects just to give a spin, but I'd not use it at work.

I love Cursor but, it’s a pity it’s not OSS.

The success of Void is tied to how well you implement the part in which AI reasons about multiple files.
This is where all the sauce is in Cursor at the moment imo.
Meanwhile, we’re transitioning to on-premises infrastructure due to the increasing complexity of cloud services. Kubernetes and Docker are powerful platforms—we love them—but they were never meant to be cost-driven. Kubernetes is already incredibly efficient. However, surviving cloud costs and avoiding its traps requires granular cost control—far beyond just monitoring RAM, network, or CPU usage. It’s become overwhelming.

In a nutshell, any K8S deployment on-premises tends to be inherently optimized, saving a significant amount of time and resources. I have new servers and old servers in the same cluster, that is epic.

Modern FinOps often feels like a frustrating exercise: Should I choose 2x 2XXL instances or 4x 8XL instances? The conversation rarely focuses on optimizing software performance or database efficiency. Instead, the cloud has turned into a maze of cost centers, where it’s easy to get lost in ‘managing’ the cloud rather than building valuable products for end users.
I THINK that following their logic a bi person would have to have no bi or gay male friends and no hetero or bi female friends.

If I'm understanding that the root of this so-called "logic" is in the threat of mutual attraction with someone other than the partner.
You're right to note systems programming doesn't involve GC usually
> incorrect to say that AMD is the only option for consoles

It's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison though, even if all 3 devices are technically consoles. The Switch is basically a tablet with controllers attached and a tablet/phone CPU while PS5/Xbox are just custom build PCs.
It remains to be seen whether these controls will have an impact on the second-order / emergent effects of rampant social media. Would prohibited words or time-limitations stop the algorithm from making an embarrassing moment viral?

What happens when these strict restrictions cut someone off from their support systems?
Does that apply in this case? Amazon is moving from 3 days to 5 days in Seattle. If you moved to Montana, that was already a problem.
In my opinion the addiction cost likely outweighs the benefit in this particular example, especially since there are so many other less addictive ways to get inspiration for art.
I take it you never worked at a cheap/local/small software shop, usually associated with an advertising agency.

because I would rather those fill-in-the-blank-forced-prompts that just add form fields and obviously broken business logic to a generic template they curate.
It's not that there is a list of approved ways to attack your enemy. Inventing new ways to take enemy by surprise is absolutely a part of warfare. What's important from legal perspective is the ratio between military effect and collateral damage. In this case so far it seems it was better than if conventional warfare was used.
I'm now in IBM due to an acquisition.

It definitely is a company that can't do anything due to bureaucracy / random bullshit.

You quickly understand why they acquire rather than invent.
Gaia nightmares resonating...
We should really just raise the age of COPPA from 13. It’s a robust legal framework and we can amend one line in it to regulate this industry without excessive bloat or bickering.

It’s crazy that Americans can be on Instagram 8 years before having a sip of alcohol.

We should raise the COPPA consent age at least 16, but probably 18.
> Hezbollah recently upgraded their pagers with the American University of Beirut

Please do not conflate Hezbollah and AUB.

The claim is that AUB medical school pagers were replaced a week or so ago. This is either pure coincidence, false or fake news to imply that AUB has Israeli operatives, or indeed that the pagers used were compromised and that the USA was aware of the impending attack and did not want to harm AUB medical staff - who probably are mostly not connected with Hezbollah.

Not advocating for or against, but having worked on systems like this, the joins here would happen in the Fetchers.

One thing I tried at first was to organize a shared workspace for friends, where we'd get an office somewhere near our homes, rather than downtown, and come in to the same shared space so we could hang out and shoot the shit. It was very hard to settle on the right location that wouldn't just create a new commuting challenge for everyone, and office space (and parking) is not cheap. I eventually found an okay spot, but COVID quarantining put an end to that. I imagine office space is cheaper now, but I have not had a strong urge to try again.

I do agree that it's isolating. But only during work hours. After work, and on the weekends, I see people a lot more than I did when I was in the office. Overall, I feel like I get more social time than before, but it's with people and in situations I choose. And I also get a lot more breaks in between, which I like.

IBM thrives on complexity—that’s the core of many of their products and business model. The fact that even they are getting into ‘cloud cost optimization’ should be a signal for everyone to rethink public cloud strategies.
> By the way, have you actually tried it?

Yes (albeit not at an Apple Store). For $3,500 it's not a competitive AR experience. It's not even cutting edge, either. Inside-out hand tracking has been a thing on standalone headsets since the first-gen Oculus Quest. Gaze tracking is more trouble than it's worth, the glowing eyes on the outside are like a cheap Halloween decoration, and the whole assembly feels like it will get bricked from a waist-height drop on the carpet.

Have you tried other, modern headsets? Bigscreen Beyond, Pimax Crystal, even the Valve Index? It's a blowout. Apple's price tag doesn't justify the lack of competitive features compared to their alternatives. They can't break into a market of "metaverse fans" because they don't support OpenXR or SteamVR - they are explicitly only targeting Apple fans. As someone who isn't part of the Apple ecosystem anymore, the Vision Pro is a fucking joke. What am I supposed to use it for, a $3,500 dedicated 360-degree porno machine? An overpriced streaming client for desktop VR? I have literally zero applications for it, I wouldn't have a reason to own Apple's headset if it was as cheap as an iPhone.

> Once the weight is reduced and the input UI is fixed, it will be truly useful.

Do you honestly believe that? After hundreds of failed attempts to make VR useful, you sincerely think Apple will be the one to do it?

This will only work if Apple can convince customers to go all-in on their ecosystem. And very clearly they won't; even the US Army doesn't have an interest in the headset where they have been applying Oculus Quest and Hololens operationally. Big businesses might care, but besides telecommunication applications I don't see where they're going to get applied. Consumers don't give a flying fuck, as evidenced by the lackluster sales and basically non-existent userbase entrenchment.

> The price will drop.

It certainly will. If the iPhone has taught us anything, it's that when prices drop, profit margins rise. The MSRP will only climb, especially as Apple gets more-and-more desperate for stupid and gaudy gimmecks like the eyeball passthrough.
Not so vaguely, either. The dev story is not Java but the deploy story is.
As long as the money is worth more than the work, draining Amazon of its savings is arguably a moral good.

Very surprised that you or anyone thinks 60 minutes each day is "a long time!"

I agree that anything past 15 minutes undeniably unhealthy. But large masses of people are very commonly online for hours upon hours. And all along and alongside there's TV.

So this 60 minutes seems very out of touch.
OK, understood. One remaining question: is it enough to allow the re-linking to run in developer or emulated hw? Does LGPL e.g. forbid code signing of firmware?
Sure you can do that, but exact is exactly what they're after. If you allow infinite series then you can approximate anything using Taylor series.
Did you mistype or are you actually somehow using a 57 inch monitor?

If really 57”, are these multiple separate screens?

I went up from 32 to 40 and regret it, to be honest. It’s m nice for Xcode, but for any other use, it’s too big for me. For instance, I miss notifications that pop up in the top right corner, it’s just out of my field of vision.
Used typed throws for a bit and I like them. I remember from long ago the Java implementation forcing me to catch them but in Swift it’s just a bit of extra compiler-enforced documentation about what and what not to expect in terms of errors.
Ask HN: How to get human support from Instagram?
Pretty simple question yet hard to find any answer to!
It feels like Instagram, despite being this large and owned by a larger company, still operates in a syndicate-style when it comes to support. You should know someone who knows someone to pull some strings to solve a silly issue.

Short story time:
Last year, I created a company, and as a typical preparation, you reserve the handles on social media. I did it all, including Instagram, only to receive “account suspended” a few seconds after creating it. It did show an “appeal” button to appeal what seemed like an automated action. Pretty standard so far. I went through the appeal process; they needed a phone number, and later they needed a “selfie with X gesture” to confirm it was a human. A bit weird since I’m not creating a personal one but rather a business account. Still, I submitted it. A few minutes later, I got that my account is permanently banned!! Crazy as everything feels automated. I looked around for an email to contact but couldn’t find any. However, that company didn’t go anywhere, so I couldn’t care less.

A few months ago, I did the same thing with a new company name and the same process to reserve the social media handles. However, this time, I didn’t create it from the PC. I used my personal phone, logged into my personal account, and clicked to add a new account. It even used my personal email, all to eliminate any automated action to suspend the account. After creating it, everything seemed okay. Less than 3 hours later, I got the same message: my account is suspended!! I didn’t go into the appeal process yet because I’m almost certain it will end up as before. Part of me also thinks that this is a systematic way to hijack accounts with one-word handles as both were unique one words (no numbers or dots), and yet there is no other way to communicate with a human being there to resolve it. The same thing happened in Netlify; however, there was a clear “send us an email” button, and it was resolved in a few hours. Yet a company like Instagram still lacks basic customer support!
My hard drive is just magnetic domains, but I still interact with files. Constructs can be interacted with. I can also bang my head on the car door, even though both are actually just atoms.
