It’s just part of Microsoft’s plan to finally give some help to Linux on the desktop. I’ve already seen at least three PCs that’s aren’t Win11 compatible get the Linux treatment.
Android being linux has exactly nothing to do with the fact that apps can't access resources outside their sandbox if they aren't mapped in somehow. Just like with lxc or docker containers on linux, jails on *bsd, or any other sandboxes.

What if the rack goes down? But I think the author is saying a similar thing to you. The fenced token is essentially asserting that the client will no longer rely on the lock, even if it tries to. The difference is the service doesn't need any acknowledgement, no permission needed to simlly deny the client later.
That is usual for new Microsoft open source projects. It takes 1-2 months for the Azure dependencies to go away.

Hacker News is not some strange place where the normal rules of discourse don't apply. I assume you are familiar with the function of quotation marks.

> If we're both grading a single student (LLM) in same field (programming), and you find it great and I find it disappointing, it means one of us is scoring it wrong.

No, it means we have different criteria and general capability for evaluating the LLM. There are plenty of standard criteria which LLMs are pitted against, and we have seen continued improvement since their inception.

> It can't consistently write good doc comments. I does not understand the code nor it's purpose, but roughly guesses the shape.

Writing good documentation is certainly a challenging task. Experience has led me to understand where current LLMs typically do and don't succeed with writing tests and documentation. Generally, the more organized and straightforward the code, the better. The smaller each module is, the higher the likelihood of a good first pass. And then you can fix deficiencies in a second, manual pass. If done right, it's generally faster than not making use of LLMs for typical workflows. Accuracy also goes down for more niche subject material. All tools have limitations, and understanding them is crucial to using them effectively.

Actually, I do this all the time and it works great. Keep practicing!

In general, the stochastic parrot argument is oft-repeated but fails to recognize the general capabilities of machine learning. We're not talking about basic Markov chains, here. There are literally academic benchmarks against which transformers have blown away all initial expectations, and they continue to incrementally improve. Getting caught up criticizing the crudeness of a new, revolutionary tool is definitely my idea of unimaginative.
Unfortunately my experience with recent grads is that they were significantly less likely to be willing to put in a lot effort than more senior devs.

Public sector demand is a much smaller percentage of the overall economy. If raising rates did not slow the economy due to high government deficit spending, then we would certainly be living in a much different world of command economy with the government running everything. That’s not yet the world we live in.

Another possibility is that the rate is still not high enough and needs to be raised much much higher to stop inflation. I think rates need to be in the 6 to 7 percent to really stop inflation. The is just a pause. It will come back like a vengeance.

To quote Penrose:

"I don't like the word materialism because we don't know what the material is."

It's all a quandary, no? Wonderfully useful predictive models aside, we have almost as little metaphysical/ontological purchase as we have w.r.t. qualia.

And though it is difficult to argue with physicalism (broadly conceived), there are compelling critiques of reductive physicalism.
This is still to my point. If you require indoctrination to get "convergence" through replacement, then you would, by definition, not have the same stories without priests.

Yes, you can stretch some stories to say there are commonalities. But you are doing some heavy stretching. And you still don't address other social animals. Do they have religions? Why not?
There's going to be loud, destructive friction when a 10-15 year old platform reduces the functionality available to its apps. Security models do need to evolve, but Android was introduced as a platform suitable for deep personal customization with few mandatory boundaries.

This was a competitive distinction against Apple's closed "safety first" platform design in iOS and led to an ecosystem of applications that took advantage of all these extra possibilities. As Google tightens its grip over the platform and pursues more aggressive limitations for security reasons (and whatever other ones), it's inevitable that many publishers and users are going to be deeply frustrated when the features that made their device theirs are no longer available.

(And incidentally, the restrictions on the Apple side have nothing to do with the application development language. I don't know where you would get that idea from or how to even make sense of it. It's just the nature of Apple's original design philosophy for iOS, where apps were deeply isolated and had no more capabilities than were necessary. Largely, Apple has been gradually adding capabilities to heavily-restricted apps over the lifetime of iOS, while Google has been moving in the opposite direction because they each started from opposite ends of the design space.)

Is it really that hard to set up a small proxy tool that calls your fancy api when it receives those requests? As an outsider, it does seem quite reasonable to me - Google couldn't possibly support all APIs there may possibly exist for every app there is.

I struggle to take them seriously. The anthropomorphization of AI into something that can "know" or "forget" is ridiculous and shows a serious lack of caution and thinking when working with them.

Likewise it leads people into wasting time on "prompt engineering" exercises that produce overfit and worthless solutions to trivial problems because it makes them feel like they're revealing "hidden knowledge."

Genuinely disappointing use of human time and of commercial electricity.

There has been a lot of news about academic fraud at Harvard lately (although some cases date back decades). It’s pretty bad when the leader of the institution gets busted for it. Harvard’s reputation is in free fall. Anytime I see Harvard attached to some big announcement, I just assume the result has been p-hacked, exaggerated, or otherwise manipulated.
UK reader here... As someone who's lived with a dear friend's cancer and affects of cancer for the past few years, I'd say that early/earlier diagnosis by whatever method is to be welcomed. However, if you then can't treat the disease then surely the early diagnosis will be for nothing? Sadly, with incidences of cancers of all sorts apparently increasing exponentially, wordldwife, not having the means to treat it is heartbreaking? Actually, as much money and effort needs to be invested in finding the cause of various cancers as curing it (or trying to cure it).

Not the person you asked but there’s a few reasons off the top of my head:

- weight

- leaks: liquids are always a hassle in things that move. The liquid wants to escape and will do so at the first opportunity.

- serviceability: if there is a leak and a significant loss of fluid, this doesn’t sound like something I can just go pick up at the hardware store like motor oil or hydraulic oil. I’m curious what it is… they simultaneously call it a commodity fluid but also proprietary.
Does anyone know how long I could expect the current Syncthing Android app to continue working?
I'm fairly ignorant about motor design, but my immediate thought was "isn't this going to exert pulling forces on the PCB traces?". Seems like that would limit how much torque your motor can exert? Which I guess isn't necessarily a problem for many applications.

Very weird article.

First sentence: Despite Microsoft trying hard to get people to upgrade to Windows 11...
Title: buy new Windows 11 PC

I mean, there is a clearly a difference, and XDA knows that.

So it brings up TPM 2.0 and says Microsoft "sends a signal" "old CPUs are useless". I don't think anybody, Microsoft or others, ever said or hinted anything like that. The "useless" thing is just completely made up. If we are talking about security updates etc, sure, that's a real issue, let's discuss that, but "useless" is just a meaningless yet very misleading word to tack on here.

Then, "big push for Copilot+". Sorry to point out that "Copilot+" as a concept has only existed for a few months, but things in the rest of the content were already happening long before this year.

I can't see how any of this is different from macOS Sequoia only supports MacBook Air 2020 or later, or MacBook Pro 2018 or later. A company only has the resources to support old hardware for that many years, after that it's all on your own. That's just how things have worked for a very long time.

But this is XDA, and I don't think people ever take XDA's "news" articles seriously. So never mind.
Just continue using your Windows 10 computer unsupported. Most people use Android phones, arguably a more important and personal computer, unsupported for years with no issues.

Apparently there's an inverse correlation between the amount of jargon in a paper and the prestige of the university of the writer. Ie, people in worse universities tend to write more complicated language. This paper seems to be in line with that finding.

> My impression is that the Germans have been anti-debt ever since [1] led to some pretty catastrophic repercussions (culminating in WWII)

Hyper-inflation occurred in the 1920s in Germany (and other countries in the same region, at the same time). In the 1930s, when Hitler managed to grab power after being appointed Chancellor, it was austerity that was in fashion:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austerity:_The_History_of_a_Da...

* https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13484866-austerity

See also Imperial Japan.

Debt had nothing to do with WW2. In fact, deficit spending in (e.g.) the US helped to reduce unemployment and get the economy going again: it was premature monetary and fiscal tightening in 1936-37 that caused another economic dip.

(So-called "sound money", i.e., the Gold Standard, also helped drive things from a stock market crash and economic slowdown into the Great Depression.)
Sharing files? Probably. Reliably syncing files without interaction, and especially without requiring a central server? i don't think so.

The truth is, the android app has existed for over 10 years now and it has never been good. It kinda mostly worked for some use cases, but always-on continuous sync on battery wasn't really one of them. And that's been true even before Google justifiably started restricting filesystem access in KitKat(!) 11 years ago.

If you are looking for an Android app that does syncing in the background well, I can highly recommend FolderSync.
These are all very basic concepts from philosophy of mind, you are complaining about using words such as "linked list" when talking about CS topics.

Translated the quote says:
"Illusionism is a position in which there is nothing happening in the brain except the physical process as known via modern day physics, or a future physics very similar to modern day physics, that position (illusionism) is the position that other things the mind is claimed to be able to do such as vivid experiences of colours or pain (qualia)are in fact nothing more than an illusion that happens then the brain queries its own systems. The attention schema theory (AST) relates this philosophical stance to a large body of experimental data and states that consciousness of experiences (qualia again, collars, pain, sound etc) arises from a model the brain generates of control what it gives attention to.
just wanted to say i understand your perspective and i think maybe the GP is maybe not fully understanding it. "no autism please" is really unkind for the reasons you laid out
Good first issues and contributing to Racket
Wait, I seem to remember this discussion from years ago and thought it was resolved. Back then, Google wanted to drop the "access all files" permission from Android's permission system entirely but IIRC Syncthing & file manager devs then convinced them to keep it. But now Google comes back at them with a Google Play policy that prevents them from using that permission in practice?

> Google took something that solved real problems better than any alternative could, did so for many years, and destroyed it for no real reason other than to further tighten control they have of the supposedly "open" platform.

Technically, the guy who inherited Syncthing Android maintenance destroyed it because he didn't want to use the file permission APIs.

Which, of course, is a reasonable decision for a maintainer to make when they're working with limited resources. But I have to say in this case I find some of the maintainer's behavior to be a bit surprising for a project as mature as Syncthing.

It probably (if the calculations are right) is unable to actually do much of anything useful (because it's too complex to avoid being extremely correlated with the rest of the universe ("embedded")), and even if it could it wouldn't be better than a standard ASI in most real-world situations.

That's assuming you aren't trying to claw back more energy than you lose, I'm pretty sure that's not possible to reliably do without crazy hypothetical physics.

Whatever they are using, it is absolutely necessary.

The reason nobody has used high-power electrostatic motors is that they require high electric fields, which would cause the electric breakdown of air and of most fluids. In contrast, the normal electromagnetic motors use high magnetic fields, which do not cause the breakdown of air, so they do not need immersion in an insulating fluid.

It is likely that the fluid used by them is some kind of fluorinated hydrocarbon, as those have high breakdown fields. Therefore leaks from such a motor are undesirable, so it would be interesting to know how do they prevent leaks between the rotating axle and its bearing. Rotating seals can never be perfect, as the users of Wankel motors must be aware. The main reliability problem of the Wankel motors has also been the rotating seals.

I assume that nobody has tried before to make such motors because nobody has found a way to prevent the leaks until now.

Perhaps the motors are intended to work only with the axle pointing upwards, in which case gravity would prevent the leaks.

The McFlurry Index: Using AI to Call 13k McDonalds
No, it releases enough data to actively mislead you (because there is no way Tesla's data people are unaware of these factors):

The report measures accidents in FSD mode. Qualifiers to FSD mode: the conditions, weather, road, location, traffic all have to meet a certain quality threshold before the system will be enabled (or not disable itself). Compare Sunnyvale on a clear spring day to Pittsburgh December nights.

There's no qualifier to the "comparison": all drivers, all conditions, all weather, all roads, all location, all traffic.

It's not remotely comparable, and Tesla's data people are not that stupid, so it's willfully misleading.

This report does not include fatalities. It also doesn't consider any incident where there was not airbag deployment to be an accident. Sounds potentially reasonable until you consider:

- first gen airbag systems were primitive: collision exceeds threshold, deploy. Currently, vehicle safety systems consider duration of impact, speeds, G-forces, amount of intrusion, angle of collision, and a multitude of other factors before deciding what, if any, systems to fire (seatbelt tensioners, airbags, etc.) So hit something at 30mph with the right variables? Tesla: "this is not an accident".

- Tesla also does not consider "incident was so catastrophic that airbags COULD NOT deploy*" to be an accident, because "airbags didn't deploy". This umbrella could also include egregious, "systems failed to deploy for any reason up to and including poor assembly line quality control", as also not an accident and also "not counted".
Are there any proxy markers we can use to model cortisol, right now? Like HRV or simply continuous heart rate monitoring?
I agree, the problem has been solved.

If a consensus mechanism similar to those used in blockchain were implemented, vehicles could cross-reference the data they receive with data from multiple other vehicles. If inconsistencies are detected (for example, a car reporting a different speed than what others are observing), that data could be flagged as potentially fraudulent.

Just as blockchain technologies can provide a means of verifying the authenticity of transactions, a network of cars could establish a decentralized validation process for the data they exchange. If one car broadcasts false data, the consensus mechanism among the surrounding vehicles would allow for the identification of this "anomaly", similar to how fraudulent transactions can be identified and rejected in a blockchain system.

What you mentioned with regarding to insurance could be used as a deterrent, too, along with laws making it illegal to spoof relevant data.

In any case, privacy is going to take a toll here, I believe.
