What a weird article. Feels like two or three little articles under a trenchcoat.

Just this evening I finally got my old gaming PC out of the closet and back up and running. My 15 year old son helped me troubleshoot driver issues and bios errors and we got it functioning. Loaded up the old steam library and I spent about 20 minutes creating a playlist for him. Braid, Subnautica, half life 1 & 2, portal, vvvvvv, rimworld, myst, and a few more not in steam, dungeon crawl stone soup, Spelunky. These were just what I already had. All chosen for their gaminess and not their realism. Maybe half life 2 is one that was trying for realism (at the time).

Just like I require some actual book reading and not just graphic novels. I wonder if the games you played will be a sign of 'culture' at some point.

It's funny we coach people not to ascribe human characteristics to LLMS..

But we seem equally capable of denying the very human characteristics in our would be overlords.

I would use it more but after an hour I have ENORMOUS bags under my eyes that last for 24-36 hours. I've tried multiple 3rd party accessories but to little success. My wife is not a fan.

Otherwise I would code and work in them for a few hours a day. I find the environment incredibly focusing.

I do not have this issue using the Oculus Pro, or any of the myriad headsets I've had in the past.

If “is there a route <= k” is in NP then wouldn’t you just iteratively do this counting down from some maximal value of k?
It's too bad there aren't more streaming JSON parsers like oboe.js[1]. It would be nice if parsing libraries always supplied an event-based approach like this in addition to parsers that build up the entire data structure in memory.

It may be unusual there, but in the UK we have loads. Some are smaller than this: the minimum roundabout is just a paint circle. They aren't a problem

Most people here actually prefer roundabouts to traffic lights because you keep moving (although this is partly selection bias- traffic lights are deployed at junctions where a roundabout would fail to evenly arbitrate the different flows )
It is a special building. Like most of his work: charming, unique, and completely impractical. Keeping it maintained out where it is was always going to be hard, but it looks like they've been had. It's a shame.
Show HN: Custom GPT demonstrating a new genre
Hi all - I got off a quick GPT exploring the following theme, and I think the results are promising:

In the ever-evolving landscape of creative expression, a new horizon emerges: AI agents. Imagine authors and publishers releasing these agents as they do books or video games, creating interactive narratives and personalized adventures. This is more than just storytelling; it’s a revolution in how we experience and engage with content. AI agents could soon become our guides, companions, and co-conspirators in worlds crafted by human creativity and AI innovation. Are we ready to embark on this new journey? The next chapter in storytelling is being written, and it’s one where the reader becomes a part of the tale.

This is a tempting story to believe, but the actual trend is that global agricultural land use is almost flat over the past 30 years and land under cultivation per capita is decreasing almost everywhere due to improved yields [1].

Personally I think those things sound like the natural result of ex-intelligence agents wind up working in finance, sort of like the advertising boom seen from the ex-WW2 propagandists.
There were a couple times when I forgot to register after moving to different county, like in SF one time, and I was given a provisional ballot, no questions asked. I showed ID for them to check if I had registered, but I guess now that is not required, so literally anyone can walk in and vote with provisional ballots.

I'm willing to bet that if this move did not favor Democrats, like for example if millions of Taiwanese people migrated to CA, and they happen to be more conservative leaning, that this kind of law would have never passed.

Voting may be a right, but securing elections is arguably more important, because without secure elections your vote does not matter! CA is looking more and more like China, in that there is a one party rule, and you cannot speak against it.
For systems using U-Boot you can use the bootcount[1] feature to detect the failure and react by booting into the old environment.

Edit: This doesn't cover your running instability case, but that seems more like a feature that should be implemented using a user space watchdog.

[1] https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/api/bootcount.html
Use the hardware watchdog timer. When the machine resets, the bootloader can check a hardware register to determine the reset cause, and then boot into a different OS partition.

(note: not every SoC has a register indicating reset cause, I’ve worked with Allwinner chips that don’t, so alternate methods may be required)

Enable the watchdog timer at the start of the bootloader. (I work with arm systems so this would be in uboot). If no bootable OS is found, or the system crashes before the kernel fully boots, the watchdog times out.

In Linux, enable the watchdog timer at boot in your kconfig. Then have a userspace service that periodically pings /dev/watchdog to keep the system alive. Have your panic handler just hang, and the watchdog will reset the machine.

Another helpful trick to save panic logs is to use pstore/ramoops to keep a portion of the kernel logs across resets, and then save the pstore buffer out to disk after booting into the recovery system.

If the additive actually reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and there is a working emissions trading system anywhere in the world, and the additive costs less to use than the reduction times the current carbon price, they could get paid for applying the additive.
If buildings could be more easily repurposed this wouldn't even really be a question that needs to be asked. Throughout most of human history larger buildings were repurposed instead of being destroyed, because there wasn't an illusion of limitless materials and labour. The proliferation of specialized buildings after the late 1800s because of that illusion rising, especially for commercial interests, is one half of a problem. The other being regulations written for those specialized buildings that provide little or no possibility of being repurposed.

For example old roadside motels from the '50s and '60s could easily be remade into dorm style apartments with micro kitchens supplemented by communal bathrooms, but laws, especially hygiene and fire codes, currently prevent that. Those motels are built of sturdier materials than many modern homes, and only need to be refitted with fire suppression systems and heat pumps to be cheap housing.

Making temporary housing is just creating a new problem rather than solving an existing one.
I vastly prefer roundabouts, with a single exception. If traffic is heavy and dominated by the same entry and exit points, it can be hard to get a turn if you're coming from the side. Our nearest roundabout is this way.

I once saw a roundabout with stop signs. I assume it was an attempt to address this situation.

I live in Japan. I sleep on on a big futon on the floor with my wife. Additionally our apartment is incredibly clean.

Most devs in the world do not make six figures. Many people who make six figures still unwisely live paycheck to paycheck. That is only in the US. Here in fukuoka the average dev pay is just over 2k a month. I make more than that, but I grew up poor so I save money.

I am not sure why you are so aggressive about bed frames. It is unreasonable to be this judgemental about something as minor as a bedframe.

To be fair, the first and best solution most people in these parts have is "Fork it, I'm going to make my own Linux distro." or something along those lines.

No, they don't get very far but I will credit their consistency.
Aside from one old lady that I saw doing laps a few years ago after our nearby roundabout first opened, it seems like most people figure it out pretty quickly. But they're too comfortable with it, and most people blast through without even hitting the brakes. That brings its own problems.
> value comes from business websites

I don't see a reason to exclude those from my earlier comment at all. Yes, they are very much a part of the deal too, whether ecom or whatever business they are in. Having independent "wp shopping carts" replaced by generic Prime dropshipping with both sides at the mercy of a monopolist would also be very sad. If there are people dedicated to improving the standalone alternative software and sustaining those efforts by making money off of it, i view it as a 100% positive.

As much as I like the concept, I'm not sure Linux phone is a good idea. Desktop Linux is not particularly prone to spyware scanning the filesystem and uploading it mainly because they mainly use free software from package repositories that are vetted by maintainers. If Linux phones are used like Android or iOS phones are used today (downloading random binaries, often to interact with real world things you can't opt out of, with distribution controlled by a corporation not too worried about your privacy), it would be a privacy nightmare.
If anyone is succeeding here I hope they have a stronger neck and head structure than I do.

I was present when Randy Pausch made the empirical lecture on screen real estate at CMU almost two decades ago. I believed strongly in that argument and was lucky to hear it before the last lecture.

However, as my work and tools evolved, I found myself abandoning the triple monitor Windows, Mac, Linux setups I used for the kind of portability work I did then.

And so while I did the apple vision pro demo when I interviewed at Apple this summer I experienced probably the most legitimate and extreme dichotomy between the value proposition of infinitely extensible screen real estate and diminishing returns on that real estate.

Put simply, that dichotomy is standing on the shoulders of poorly designed HCI for decades. Apple gets a free pass on design here but they should be held to a much higher standard.

If they were, we'd have something approaching Bret Victor's dynamic land or at least a desktop metaphor not siloed in a Cartesian model hundreds of years old when what we need is n-dimensional.

The data out-dimensioned displays decades ago. What the world needs now is a better tiling window manager, not another attempt to solve the problem by extending human vision while causing head and neck trauma we may never understand.

Raymond Loewy said, "most advanced yet acceptable, not most advanced yet bone crushing.

When I used apple vision pro, I found the experience so compelling I pinged all my friends working in AR singing its praises and potential applications in things we'd worked on together: radiation oncology treatment devices, visualization, robotics, and autonomy. But the thing that stopped me in my tracks was the ungodly physical trauma that accompanied the experience. That's saying something given I am an adult with nearly perfect health and no orthopedic issues whatsoever.

The thing that shifted my perspective on screen real estate was realizing that monstrous monitors are big tech's mcmansion hell. I did my day job on an 11 inch Chromebook running Linux a decade ago. I still ask why I need the morbidly obese MacBook pro m I have now with a 16 inch display and 32 GB ram.

Soon we'll see that big tech is just reading big pharma's playbook from decades ago. The reason it's hard to see now is that big tech did not finish reading the playbook, particularly as it applies to side effects foisted on an unsuspecting public. Give it a few years. I hope I'm wrong.
I’ve been using fwup (https://github.com/fwup-home/fwup) in embedded Linux consumer products for almost 10 years and it has Just Worked.

> Some of them have a stop sign in the roundabout?

Traffic gets much heavier and we'll need stop signs at our roundabout near my house. During rush hour it has predominantly one flow of traffic and nobody slows down below 30-35 mph so getting into the roundabout can be difficult. A stop sign would defeat some of the point of a roundabout but it may become necessary to enforce safety.
Why WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg has gone 'nuclear' against Silver Lake
My point is that rationals aren't correct in the way you're describing. For example, try rotating that rational ill-conditioned matrix. You'll probably have to pick a precision to approximate the result and at that point you would have been better off with arbitrary precision floating point, algebraic or symbolic representations instead. None of these representations are wrong, they're simply tradeoffs for different usages.

That's why IEEE floats are such a good default. They balance those tradeoffs extremely well, with fixed semantics and near-universal hardware support.
You may feel less enthusiastic about it once you watch the linked video. I wouldn’t exactly call it a roundabout. That’s only what’s at the center of it.

Ray-ban along with almost every other glasses and sunglasses brand, and also almost all retailers of glasses are all owned by a megacorp called Luxxotica. The prices are all completely arbitrary and fixed.

Beyond this basically all prices for every consumer item are completely arbitrary. They almost never reflect real value and almost always are priced based on what people are willing to pay. Act accordingly.

In the UK, you get roundabouts with traffic lights at the entrances, sometimes only operational at peak times, and off most of the time. Works well
"frustrates Linus" is a bit of an understatement here, Linus is considering removing bcachefs from mainline.

If it's removed, I'm somewhat skeptical it can return once it's more mature. Kent seems to think that the problem is code maturity while Linus is making it clear that the problem is that Kent won't follow process and work with others. I don't think Kent's behavior will change as long as Kent is in charge of bcachefs no matter how mature the codebase gets.

Keeping up with the Benjamins is certainly a bottom trawling psychological mechanism in the chest of tools employed by media, but I don’t think it accounts for the sum state. Genuinely astounding and wide reaching works are actually pretty rare when you compare them to the vast sea of lesser works. Entertainment lives on a string of less frequent and more singular booms, but the industry that pops up around it survives off the hype or lack thereof between. So, they push quantity over quality and authenticity, and reprogram consumers around that hype train. Worse than that, they might reach for dark patterns to artificially and negatively prop up engagement, which rots the whole thing from the inside out.
That sounds like 100+ lines in python or similar languages…

> literally anyone can walk in and vote with provisional ballots

You don't think the state can figure out if you exist? Just making up a name won't get your vote counted. And if you vote twice, that is also easily detected. Or if you vote in someone else's name.

It's popular to claim how easy election fraud is, but the checks and balances aren't nearly that easy to overcome. Maybe what we need is better education about how the voting system actually functions.

> securing elections is arguably more important

Sure. Paper ballots and optical-scan tabulation. Voter ID laws are as secure as the $20 fake IDs sold on every college campus.
This same stupid idea came up at this years Chaos Communication Congress to thunderous applause. Its a very European mentality. The first government that imposes that people take the bus will be the first government that gets voted out in record time. The left wing activists cannot seem to internalize that many people generally like the car and want the freedom of personal transport. These groups are now paying for their disregard as left wing governments are starting to get booted out or are on the verge of getting booted out.

Never underestimate how confused people can get with the unfamiliar. I live a couple of blocks from a fairly standard roundabout and see people trying to exit the roundabout through an entrance to the roundabout or try to go clockwise in the roundabout (this is in Canada) several times a year. This happens even though the design of the roundabout, the road markings, and the signage make it perfectly clear how you are supposed to go through it.

Then there is the less obvious stuff that happens multiple times per hour, like entering in the wrong lane given the desired exit (even though it is marked), vehicles inside the roundabout yielding to vehicles entering the roundabout (even though there is signage), or vehicles entering the roundabout failing to yield to vehicles inside of it (same signage).

As for non-standard roundabouts, those can confuse just about anyone since people often don't realize that it is a roundabout.
>Plus it's fucking huge and takes up the majority of my backpack and I like to travel with a single carry on backpack.

I'm the same way. When I saw the reviews and the travel case, it seemed completely impractical for anyone who doesn't check luggage, on top of bringing a carry on and personal item.

I also prefer to look like a waste of time for any would-be thief of pickpocket. It seemed like a Vision Pro would put a target on my back that I didn't want.
