Right, I'm aware of all of these when I said that. This is a vision for what they'll look like at a lower pricing point. The $5,000 car I think will have fewer of these barriers than the $50,000 one. People tend to be less precious with cheaper things. Look at how much more universal cell phones have become after the bottom of the market fell out.

I'm pretty sure Christensen made this point in one of his less lauded followup books - the market disrupts with more universal implements. That's probably where I'm stealing this from.

My understanding was that dxc lacked support for compiling various HLSL features to SPIR-V (hence SM7 now), so there are still a bunch of Vulkan-focused projects like Godot which only support GLSL.

But yes, the games industry has been almost entirely HLSL since forever, and this is going to help remove the final obstacles.

Goddamn, that is a hideously well-reasoned article. Don't even worry about your phone. What about all the little things that have batteries in it. What's to stop a state actor from embedding minor explosives in our TV remotes, kitchen appliances, our goddamn inexpensive bluetooth headphones (ugh). Hell, any rechargeable cell on Amazon could be tampered with.

I suspect there are technical issues with some of those applications, but I feel like I woke up in a different world after reading this article.
In theory if DirectX games start passing shaders to the driver in SPIR-V, the same format Vulkan uses, then yes it should make Protons job easier. Translating the current DXIL format to SPIR-V is apparently non-trivial to say the least:

More specifically, I get the impression it’s part of a strategy to recenter the Windows desktop experience from “the PC on your desk” to “an aggregated view of your workplace-focused cloud services”.
Yeah, the author confirmed it in this thread actually:

How could you have a strong opinion on what ought to be, when you've only baselessly asserted what is. Hume wept.
[Hard question!]

Each photon, no. But the distribution of the spectrum of a black body follows a pattern that depends on the temperature (and other stuff).

<bold>The important part is that the PV panel not only absorbs photons, it also emits photons. Usually the emission is much much much smaller than the light it absorbs.</bold>

If you assume that the PV panel is another black body and the sun is another black body, then the energy must flow from the hot one to the cold one.

Real objects are not perfect black bodies, so you have emission and absorcion coefficients that makes the calculation harder.

For LEDs, bioluminescence, lasers, and other sources, the calculation is harder because the distribution of light in the spectrum is different, and they usually don't match. You must consider work, entropy, and more technical stuff. But the oversimplified version is that the energy also flows from the "hot" to the "cold" one. You need a gradient of temperature or something equivalent to make the energy flow.

PS1: You can use a LED as a light detector, like a photodiode. It's somewhat the inverse effect of using a PV panel as a lamp.

PS2: I know that <bold></bold> doesn't work in HN, but that it's the important paragraph.
Yes me too. It's the first thing I thought of. The "and recycled" part is clearly an afterthought/greenwashing of this horrible practice.

The article nicely shows how simple it really is to build a rag system. The simplicity is part of why rag is so popular, but the hard part is

1. determining a good rag use case for your business (hopefully something more inspiring than chat with our internal knowledge system or customer service chat bot).

2. tuning each part of the system to optimize for your use case. In this case, you need data and some way to benchmark how good your system is and whether it's getting better.

I'd be curious to hear people's experience successfully deploying rag systems that had positive business impact.
Interesting, I'll give that a shot

I haven't tried this on Windows yet because it appears to require a Work or School app. I'm really confused as to why you can't connect to a remote PC from Windows with this app? Is this an intentional strategy, or is it "coming later"? It looks like the "metro" version of Remote Desktop Client app is still available in the Windows store, and as long as I can Start -> Run "mstsc", I'm happy. :-)

Also, on macOS they have renamed the Remote Desktop Client to Windows App and it appears to work exactly like the old app. Which is different to how the Windows version of the app works.

Crazy stuff...
Oh, nice; I was thinking of what I believe is this, though: https://sumitomoelectric.com/products/cu-diamond :
size-selected diamonds to match the thickness profile of the power module/brick base plate, then encased in copper.
Benefit is arguably more the expansion matching to GaN/SiC than the thermal conductivity improvements over plain copper.
I use it to automatically turn my older A/C off and on automatically while I’m not home. When I’m home, my wife and I use it as a universal remote around the house. Admittedly, it’s not what I originally bought it for (like others, I bought it as a toy), but now we depend on it for the former reason mentioned.

This is really good news!
Per Reuters, "The senior Lebanese security source said the group had ordered 5,000 beepers made by Taiwan-based Gold Apollo, which several sources say were brought into the country in the spring."

I suppose the source could be lying, but what is your alternate theory exactly? Militaries don't tend to procure their communications equipment from the shelves of Radio Shack. Lebanon doesn't have a booming pager market, so it's unlikely that some local distributor just happened to have 5,000+ pagers sitting around.

This was clearly a special order (which doesn't mean no distributor was involved), and Occam's razor suggests that Mossad tampered with that particular order, rather than tampering with random pagers and just hoping that some of them might end up being purchased by Hezbollah later.

> United could provide you an API key to do so via an API, but in practice they won't, only some enterprisey travel software company can get that kind of access, for a steep fee. You could build a tool which automatically puts together an itinerary based on rules and books it, through a tool like this. Perhaps a slightly contrived example but I believe things like this definitely happen.

And you think that's NOT sketchy?

Agreed - I'm new to git so the question is what code that button is firing? Ideally in a cloud app not desktop app.
That's exactly what happened to mine. They nerfed it real hard early on and killed almost all actual utility of it.

You can still find earlier firmware versions that do the old thing but you have to hack the hell out of anything to make it useful.
Well unless big pharma can cash out on it like crazy. Then it'll be a huge success.

Radiative cooling depends on surfaces. Where do you think all the waste heat from the Earth goes if not into space...
Thanks for sharing this. It’s really appreciated.

I’m very much on board with the “thinking it as a product” and I think we’re actually going to be in good position to sell it to other teams since they’re being forced to adhere to common designs - there’s just no help or implementations to get them there. So even if we don’t build something they find as good as their favorite library, we’ll have the upside of being the one that adheres to the design.

I also like your thoughts on “customer support” and I’m considering whether doing hands on help for the teams migrating would also be worth it.

I’m still pondering whether starting with something really hard or doing some of the easy stuff is the right way. Starting with easier stuff would allow us to build a foundation, get to the point where the library is actually installed across products, which could help establish some feedback loops. That said, I really like your point about targeting the most legacy apps. As you say, that might create of following of people that appreciate the work and would spread the word.
Good luck with HR! (And good for you, for pursuing what you want.)

I'm the wrong guy to ask about which certifications. (Honestly, I was thinking of college-level classes online; theoretically one of them could be just what a future employer is looking for.) Possibly someone else here will have suggestions... I saw another comment here suggest experimenting with hot new technologies. That can also work if you end up with something on your resume that's exactly what they're looking for. And the other standard bit of advice people give is: help on some open source projects? (If you're not comfortable coding on pull requests, you could help with documentation. And it also helps you "network" your way closer to people who may know of jobs...)

Maybe the real lesson from all that is: work backwards? As in, try to figure out what specific things they're looking for in junior engineering roles -- and then try to take a class/start a project/do some independent study on that particular thing.

But the most important thing is: don't give up. With that well-populated GitHub repository -- and your real experience in production building an app -- you're really close. Just keep trying. You're, like, one step away from first junior engineering job. If you want it long enough, it will happen. And from there on, it will get much easier to find your next engineering roles...
But it's worse than that. Anyone can create a free "Microsoft account", but you need more than that to sign in to this app. You need a "Work or school account", which is similar to a Microsoft account, but not the same thing. A "Work or school account" is an account tied to a commercial M365 subscription.

What you write seems very interesting, but I'm afraid I'm not fully grasping it. There are few immediate counter examples I can give, and I wonder if I'm missing a point and those are not really counter examples.

How many of TVs were there back then? I can tell you that very few in my country, now everybody has a smartphone.

Also I can tell you, no airplanes or TVs were built in my country either. They never were, 100 years ago, 50, 20 or nowadays.

So when you said “The idea of the majority of manufacturing being external to a country” you must have meant the US.
Curious. I think this applies less to me than I had hoped. I don’t feel regrets over these „you win some, you loose some“ coin toss decisions. Looking back, I clearly made avoidable mistakes but they where the obvious one (for me, back then, in that context) and I can clearly learn from them. But the ones I truly regret don’t fit in that scheme for me. They are just pure loss, no reasoning whatsoever, just stupid. Most of them socially.
Not finishing my bachelor but instead canceling and going to work due to financial pressure I can deal with easily. I can „sell that“ to myself. Threading people poorly and loosing good friends that? No way I’m ever forgiving myself that.
But these don’t fit in that „portfolio“ framework. They where just stupid decision. I still learn from that and know what to work on. But I cannot reason them away.

As nice as this is on paper, it will never happen, lobbyist exists. Not to be tinfoil hat but why would any lawmaker slap the hand that feeds them.

Until there is an independent governing body which is permitted to regulate over the tech industry as a whole it wont happen. Consider the FDA, they decide which drugs and ingredients are allowed and that's all fine. There could be a regulating body which could determine the risk to people's mental health for example from 'features' of tech companies etc. But getting that body created will require a tragedy. Like why the FDA was created in the first place. [1]

That's just my 2cents.

> Why can a website silently add stuff to my clipboard anyway?

It's copying content to the clipboard after the user clicks the "I'm not a robot" button. This is indistinguishable from the user clicking a "copy to clipboard" button on a web page, or clicking through an "edit > copy" menu - the only difference is user intent.
It checks if any of the deprecated features are used. 4.0 removes classic queue mirroring, changes the underlying metadata storage to khepri and introduces many improvements. Instead of asking many questions, it analyses the definition file locally in the browser.
Second this. My work occasionally deals with Gcode files. The coding is simple, knowing what to do (or not to do!) is harder. My first foray into the world of Gcode I named "Smokey" because it was a quick fix for another program generating bad Gcode that quite literally caused smoking on the work surface and could have lead to a fire had the operator not been paying attention.

And note that while Gcode is consistent it's meaning isn't always--is Z positive going into the work surface or going away from the work surface?
Thank you. Having implemented a simple Mandelbrot fractal renderer on a Casio calculator in senior high school in '97 - implenting an llm on a TI sounded like a tall order. Cool hack, though!
There is (was?) some degree of coordination with personnel at the Green Bank Telescope and the VLA related to the Ku beams transmitted down from the satellites. However the newer satellites have higher power transmitters and even the sidelobes may cause undesirable interference.

The interference cited in this article appears to be on a much longer wavelength and is likely due to the larger electronics payloads on each satellite (flight computers, routers, "cloud servers", misc DoD payloads, etc). The cost to mitigate this may be quite expensive, in terms of time, cost and payload mass.

Fundamentally there is a tension between a scientific community that is concerned about interference and a business in which revenue may be correlated with keeping orbiting Ku transmitters powered up as often and as cheaply as possible. This is unfortunate as there is some interesting science that may be observed at these wavelengths.
yes it's an old story
>Protection of personal data? Is there a standard of care beyond which liability lapses (e.g. a nation state supply chain attack exfiltrates encrypted data and keys are broken due to novel quantum attack)?

There absolutely should be, especially for personal data collected and stored without the express written consent of those being surveilled. They should have to get people to sign off on the risks of having their personal data collected and stored, be legally prevented from collecting and storing the personal data of people who haven't consented and/or be liable for any leaking or unlawful sharing/selling of this data.

This same phenomenon isn't unique to Covid either. Other illnesses can lead to similar debilitations. Research into this will give great insight into processes we hardly understand.

Of course it's not the #1 healthcare priority now but who says we should only solve problem #1 and leave all the others hanging?

I know a health worker that worked hard to save lives during the first phases of Covid and her life is now ruined due to this. I doubt she can be 'cured' but at least this may be prevented for others.

If the law says that providing a fake document to a financial institution is considered fraud / money laundering and can be prosecuted, it makes a lot more sense.

This puts criminals in an untenable position. If they provide fake documents to a bank, they save the police a lot of work. If tere's ever any suspicion of criminal activity in their accounts, nobody has to prove anything beyond the fact that they provided fake documents, which isn't that hard. That's enough to send them to prison. They can always provide real documents of course, but there's a reason they were use fake ones in the first place.

There are already realtime/low latency kernels in many distros, very useful for low-latency audio processing. Usually you have to install them separately.
You're right that I didn't check them. I said that.

It's like doing research for colo, like my example. If you have the need, then a couple of hours of research is well worthwhile. I don't have the need, so I'm not going to do it now, but that's how one starts.

The colo example is apt - colo providers that don't have pricing are invariably too expensive, so I skip them, but there are plenty of others to check out that aren't Cloudflare. The one article I skimmed even says whether the providers are pricy or affordable.

Nobody needs Cloudflare. If (most) people were aware of how much Cloudflare breaks visibility across the world, they'd likely avoid Cloudflare, too.

Guest operating systems generally require modifications, referred to as enlightenments, to run under different Confidential computing architectures such as AMD SEV-SNP or Intel TDX. To support unenlightened guests, a software component called a paravisor is required. The paravisor runs at a higher privilege level within the guest to provide the appropriate abstractions and security guarantees that the unenlightened guest is unable to implement. The paravisor may additionally offer additional services such as emulated devices like a TPM or device translation between the host and the unenlightened guest.

Here we introduce OpenHCL - a Linux based paravisor with a usermode virtualization stack written in Rust for running unenlightened guests.

There is no proof that Lebanese Hezbollah was responsible for the Magdal Shams incident you are referring to, and all of the facts suggest that it was an accident. It happened during what was virtually a firefight.

The Magdal Shams is a village in the Golan heights, which is a Syrian area that is illegally occupied by Israel. At the very least, it is a huge leap of faith to assume that the families of the victims condemn Hezbollah or Israel or who they think is responsible.

Whatever your beliefs are, I suggest not jumping to conclusions so quickly, especially on such a complicated topic

It runs deeper than that, during the development of WebGPU it came to light that Apple was vetoing the use of any Khronos IP whatsoever, due to a private legal dispute between them. That led to WebGPU having to re-invent the wheel with a brand new shader language because Apples lawyers wouldn't sign off on using GLSL or SPIR-V under any circumstances.

The actual details of the dispute never came out, so we don't know if it has been resolved or not.
