I'm saying that people couldn't care less about Russia, most of the Romanians look towards West, not East. So when asked "what do you think about Russia?", a possible answer could have been "yeah, positive, why not? nothing bad happened lately".

As for Ukraine and NATO, who's Russia to decide what other countries do? I get it, polls are nice for armchair analysis, but in the end Ukrainians should probably organize a referendum and decide for themselves what they want now, not in 2008.
Apple wants $1200 for a 4TB SSD. I'm sure a LOT of people would gladly pay $300 for a top-end SSD of the same size and pay someone to install it for $100 and still save $800 on the price of the machine.
Yeah the obvious hole in my pet theory is that there are lots of small languages in Europe, but purchasing power may explain it. I have no idea about the quality of Apple’s localization for Slovenian, Lithuanian, or Albanian, just to name a few.
Yeah that's recent enough some early primordial primates would have seen it.
> nobody wants independent journalism. never wanted

This is too cynical. I know I do. I don't even mind biased analysis or perspective as I believe everyone has their perspectives grounded on certain assumptions or "biases". But it does pains me to see that journalists would rather invent hoaxes than reporting facts. It also pains me to see that all medias simultaneously use the same peculiar phases like "testy interview" or "sharp as tack", which does seem imply outside influence to the journalists.
It's not clear from the thread whether the logging to the serial port was in the same thread as the audio processing. If it was, then it would be a problem either way. If it wasn't, then the fact that the irq is not premptable would mean that it will cause problems for all threads in the virtual case, but not in the real hardware case.

> What didn’t seem plausible is that Android manufacturers didn’t seem to have any trouble bringing out comparable features, and Apple never elaborated on where exactly they see the difficulties

The issue is the security of the Apple Intelligence model. It was kinda vague whether they had to open up that API to 3rd parties - which would completely taint the work they did to keep it secure and private despite being a cloud AI system.

Android manufacturers don't care, nobody will bat an eye if a Samsung Cloud AI system leaks user data or it's used for training models. If Apple does it, the Internet will have another gleeful hissy-fit and forget it wasn't Apple who leaked the data, it was the 3rd party Cloud AI someone plugged in to their phone instead of Apple Intelligence.
How is not endorsing a candidate “antithetical to independent journalism”? I understand that Bezos stepped in to perhaps overrule an endorsement but in what sense is maintaining neutrality antithetical to independent journalism?
Sheilah Graham mentioned here was an interesting character, nowadays she’s only known as Fitzgerald’s paramour, but she had a long career as a columnist (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheilah_Graham). I really enjoyed her book Beloved Infidel where she details her time with Fitzgerald.
You would not simultaneously reduce the immigration requirements and constantly stress the importance of foreign labour in the media.

Women have made up the majority of college graduates for the past 5 decades. And yet the majority of college scholarships are for women. If it were the other way around, you'd say this is unfair. There are job quotas for women, not men. Women make up the majority of government benefit receivers.

Yes, if you aren't going to care about a disenfranchised minority, you should expect them to be angry.

> "Apple should hire a couple hackers to create “end-of-life” firmware for their obsolete devices; give them new life as super-specialized devices."

They've actually done this in a few cases! There's a whole generation of obsolete Airport Express Wifi base stations that got a final firmware update which gave them AirPlay 2 functionality. Now they're still quite sought after as a device to make old stereos/speakers wirelessly compatible with the latest Apple devices. Especially if you have stereo eqipment that can take optical (TOSLINK) audio input.
I think it is, personally. Mostly because common UI appearance and paradigms makes software easier to use, especially for non-technical users.

Man. I couldn't really disagree more re: Financial Samurai. That dude strikes me as a complete troll. His older articles aren't too bad, but the past several years, he's pivoted to a Get Rich or Die Tryin' mentality, and publishes endlessly repetitive takes. I think he's more an SEO expert than a financial one, at this point. If you can't figure out how to live on ~$380k of passive income, you have no business giving the general public financial advice.

> Marmite is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, salty, powerful flavour and heady aroma. This distinctive taste is represented in the marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it." Such is its prominence in British popular culture that Marmite is often used as a metaphor for something that is an acquired taste or polarises opinion.

I'd even argue that idiomatic Rust is less prone to those "logic errors" than C++ and the language design gives you fewer chances to trip over yourself.

Even the basics, nobody is calling Rust's [T]::sort_unstable without knowing it is an unstable sort. Even if you've no idea what "stability" means in this context you are cued to go find out. But in C++ that is just called "sort". Hope you don't mind that it's unstable...

[Edited because I can't remember the correct order of words apparently.]
It's possible to handle buffer underruns more elegantly than that, but it does require more processing power on the receive side of the buffer (basically by using some strategy to extrapolate the audio forward and decay, as opposed to just dropping the signal to zero when there's no data coming from the other side). It's a common thing to do in streaming audio contexts, especially voice, but generally at the end of the user's network connection which is presumed to be unreliable, not in the middle of a processing pipeline which is presumed to be able to hit its latency targets.

That wasn't their point. The point is that the average consumer doesn't really upgrade their desktop separately from their screen, if the two are separate. You do not need to replace an iMac after 4 years, they are in fact built to last.
But here is the thing - launching the initiative means nothing. Satya is able to expand and develop it.

Like with Ballmer we certainly would not have got O365 to iOS for example. It would be 100% bundled one way or another to Windows services or something or browser or whatever.

Even with Azure we would not have got such aggressive expansion and attempts to push services across Windows and Linux or playing with Open Source platforms like K8S. I think Ballmer was closer to the modern Google who is hell-bent on not using anything Windows.

Ballmer's attempt to buy Yahoo and disregard for touch screen phones is what defined his legacy. He was a good CFO who knew how to run business, but not a great CEO.

> Satya has been good with acquisitions but what else?

Ability to buy right things is important too. Like Ballmer wanted to buy Yahoo, while Satya bought Github. One cost 80b, while another created a whole foundation for Copilot push. Linkedin purchase was great and with OpenAI I am 100% sure that Ballmer would have missed AI train (like AWS did).
I 100% agree things are getting better and only getting better. It's just a very slow change, because I think those young people have to grapple with the people who are raising them and who they respect.

But - I will say in terms of sexuality among women - it's not all rainbows (ha). The majority of bisexual women I know would not date bisexual men, and they make it known. The "gap" in progressivism exists there too, just much less. Meaning, a lot of bisexual women are willing to accept all kinds of women and have a self-expression of wide variety, but many still look for what they deem to be a traditional, heterosexual man (when they are dating men).

It's complicated and then that really gets into a more intersectional issue because the elephant in the room is there's many strings connecting sexuality to masculinity. I think, in general, there's less genderized implications for behavior for women who are bisexual than there are for men who are bisexual. Being a bisexual man just comes with much more assumptions and baggage about identity in terms of masculinity/femininity that I don't really see for bisexuality in women. You can sort of see this in statistics, where bisexual women self-identify significantly more than bisexual men.

But bright side: this is improving, too. I see a lot less men hiding their bisexuality these days than I saw 10 years ago.

And yet, empirically, jank is far more common on Wayland than X11. With X11, on the rare case I noticed, it was usually just a matter of "okay, which toolkit or driver do I need to look up the vsync environment variable for?"

I have no opposition to Wayland in theory; my concerns are entirely practical and unignorable.
Give it another 80M years, and perhaps a fine dust could make some fine sunrises on Jupiter.
True, but that's not what they usually depict on screen. We see lots of "normal looking", i.e. rounded, well-aged, thoroughly cratered asteroids, neither the fresh shards or glowing/molten material we would expect from a collision.

I do like the idea of prospectors diving into the debris of a recent asteroid collision to gather halfway pre-refined resources. With the rarity of asteroid collisions relative to human lifespans, I imagine the response the way deep sea creatures respond to a whale fall, sudden massive availability of resources. I might try to write that someday.

If you just want a family computer in the living room or somewhere, it's perfect. A place where you can just sit down and do some stuff. We have an iMac there without a login requirement.
When I judge someone I compare them to what they ought to have been able to do. Bing, Azure, and Office 365 were mid and it's the person in charge's responsibility to do better than that. The world would be a better place if he had done a better job.

But maybe he was a fine CEO, dunno about that. I guess that's measured in profits.
In those cases, those app developers aren't doing cross-platform development, but are just trying to dump their app in as many places as possible. In such a case, why not just make a PWA and call it a day? Don't need an app if you aren't going to go native, especially with most apps being either content readers or CRUD apps anyway.

In most cases, I personally rarely want an app, and I'll use a website unless they happen to have created a great native experience. And since most apps don't, I don't use them, and I don't have a lot of apps as a result.
You can introduce side effects to a proc macro (but please avoid if at all possible), but you cannot control the order in which proc macros are run. If you need to reason about the global schema while generating code, that won’t work.

Going to be some bagholders looking silly when Trump dies and this stock goes to 0 instantly since there is absolute no "heir" story and the whole thing is propped up by Trump's ridiculous popularity with deplorables (yes, they are).

Statistically speaking this will be very soon as he's a fat 78 year old man who by fairly credible reports stuffs himself full of fast food and amphetamines regularly and is clearly in mental decline and won't release his medical records.
Could a person cause the physical change in the world of a slightly different configuration of myelin in their body, just with their thoughts?
Women are not propping up society. The majority of your food was grown by men. The majority of your food was transported across the country by men. Your home (apartment) was built by men. The building you work in was built by men. Your water purification, your power generation, your internet infrastructure, all done by men.

If the next generation of men feels that working these jobs will never afford them the ability to buy a house, start a family, and retire, then don't expect these jobs to be filled by women, because women are neither willing nor capable of doing them in the vast majority of instances.
I tried to use tesseract for OCR, 10 years ago, it recognized English good enough. tesseract was also developed by Google if I am not mistaken, but open source.

I don't even know how they do it with all of that.

None of the changes between successive versions of the iPhone — ever — have felt like good value for money to me. I get new ones when the old ones break. Then again, I am a weird outlier in economic things, and I've known that since I was a teen.

I'd ask if people really are so much more interested in signalling green than being green, but of course I know they do — an old flame campaigned Green in the US, despite also having a big thing about supporting the striking coal miners in the UK (that happened before she was born).
You can’t do experiments on entire populations. That’s precisely why we have studies in the first place.
Quite frankly, why should they stick to WTO rules? It is an organisation that seems entirely beholden to Western interests, to the degree that the US has decided to simply stop it from doing anything by blocking judge appointments because they didn't want to follow their own rules. The only conclusion I can draw from this is that the WTO is essentially a feckless and weak organisation that exists to muscle smaller countries in line with US interest. No one powerful care about its rules, so I doubt that China's succession made much of any difference at all.
I bought an M1 Max with a 2TB SSD, but I’m running up against the capacity and I want more storage. The computer is still plenty fast. Normally, I’d upgrade my computer and continue using it, but now I need to sell it and get a new one to get more storage. Not to mention the carbon cost of doing that, these things are $4000!

Further, when I buy a new one, I’m now incentivized to over-provision it based on my current needs by that same logic.

Photos and videos get larger each year with larger sensors, so it can be hard to predict future usage if you take a lot of those.
Larger packets and bandwidths.

Bandwidth: you can't ship backup camera video or entertainment system audio over CAN, for example.

CAN was meant for short, real-time packets. 8 bytes in initial configuration. CAN FD allows 64 byte packets.

You spend a LOT of protocol doing packet fragmentation and assembly using CAN--which then negates a lot of the real-time guarantees.

CAN should be used for the short safety critical stuff. Ethernet should be used for everything else.

Ask HN: How do you teach Comp.Sci to your 6-10yo kids?
By Comp.Sci I mostly meant: coding basics, logics, sparking curiosity with fiddling with tech in general, develop their own little projects.

They have already played with things like Scratch but it eventually becomes repetitive and they lose interest. They have played with the Turing Tumble and similar. Robotics might be a nice thing to try.

We could make 3 categories, resources they can consume with your guidance (1), resources they can consume alone (2), and games (3).

I'm particularly interested in (1), what resources/projects have education in mind while having an adult guiding them through it?

If you're talking about what your opinion of is morally right, or a healthy social media ecosystem I'm not really disagreeing with you - I don't think it's good for the subreddit mods to do this. But as per your comments, it does sound like you're making the claim that this activity is running afoul of nondiscrimination laws. This is incorrect.

> If 10% of the top subreddits ban anyone that participates in /r/Judaism or /r/Israel, that's a much bigger impact than a ban happy Discord mod.

The impact is not what matters. What matters is that the banning is done by users, not by the company. Non-discrimination laws prohibit businesses from denying business to customers on the basis of protected class. It doesn't dictate what users of internet platforms do with their block button.

> that's qualitatively different than systemic discrimination by the restaurant industry.

Right, but a restaurant refusing a customer is a business denying a customer. If Discord or Reddit put "We don't do business with X race" in their ToS that's direct discrimination by Reddit. If subreddit moderators ban people because they do or don't belong to a protected class, that's an action taken by users. You're free to create your own /r/interestingasfuckforall that doesn't discriminate.

A bar can't turn away a customer for being Catholic. If a Catholic sits down at the bar, and the people next to him say "I don't want to sit next to a Catholic", and change seats to move way from a Catholic patron that's their prerogative. Subreddit bans are analogous to the latter.
As core languages, the scope of both Python and Go is fairly well defined.
