As I understand it (not completely), according to the SHIELD act, the losing party in a patent dispute has to pay legal fees for both sides, which are usually substantial. If the lawyers who really own the patent represent themselves, they are in danger of having to pay out if they lose. So they effectively hired a plaintiff that they could 'represent'. Handing out 10% of the proceeds if you win against halving the costs if you lose is a reasonable hedge.

However a legal firm is not supposed to do that, which is why they are in trouble.
As I understand it, you also have to trick the OS into recognizing it in software. I don't know what's involved, but just getting the new NAND modules soldered isn't the whole of the job.
I have a couple decades of experience and have ridden a small start up through public and I have worked intimately with 6 companies. I know about taking a product and ultra scaling it in both technical and organizational scale.

I will never recommend Python outside of a small team. It is organizational molasses. My current company has multiple teams striving to keep our Python tech stack serving our growing technical and organizational scale.

I have fixed this in two companies in no small part with migrating to Go. I am on my third.
Right, what these people don't understand is the US already has a socialized medical care system, it's just shit. Insurance also turns a profit, and they also have the highest incentive to not pay for care AND make healthcare provider's jobs as difficult as possible.

It's a socialized system but with inefficiency baked in and guaranteed. That's why the US pays significantly more for healthcare while also having worse quality care.

> The researcher who wrote this article seems to have been able to get a lot of holes patched with credits, albeit, some of these CVEs seem years old.

Yes, it requires a lot of time and patience. And I bet that the researcher has more reported vulnerabilities that he can't talk about and aren't fixed. He's been doing this for many years.

> I guess a company wanting as much time as possible to fix bugs is a part of the game though, are other companies really keen for you to announce found vulns ASAP?

Apple is notorious for poor communication with security researchers... and with developers, and with everyone else. Apple also tends to patch vulnerabilities more slowly than, say, Google, and Apple frequently stiffs people on the security bounty.
I'm still reading it, but apparently he stopped talking to his own mother forever after she refused to give him a cookie intended for guests.
A friend of mine and I both read it about the same time and discussed it afterwards. I thought it was pretty good, he thought it was not that great. What we agreed on was that in spite of there being many fantastic aspects to the book, on the whole it failed to be an awesome novel.

Definitely worth giving it a try if you're a programmer, just for the fact that it's written by another programmer: the opening scene where they find a bunch of rules written down and just follow them reminds me of ACPI; the discussion of public-key cryptography and shipping drives full of one-time-pad around the galaxy; the "compression scheme" with the video.
how will he accomplish that?
You're right! It's a bug and I'll fix it :)

Show HN: Nexus – GPT Lead Generation for Non-Sales Professionals
Nexus is a platform for B2B companies to find sales leads. Think Serra(YC S23) - but for sales representatives of B2B companies instead of HR.

Users input their search query in plain English, and Nexus will automatically parse and generate filters, returning the best leads ranked using GPT-model. For each lead, a primary contact (person that works at the prospect company) and a secondary contact (mutual connection that can refer user to primary contact) will be generated, with a stronger referral being prioritized.

Seeking any form of feedback, thank you!
That's a really dangerous move that can entice China to invade Taiwan. Let's hope it doesn't happen.
> Especially if you need to do runtime parsing in a network service serving large traffic

Yeah, that's the focus of it, and the thing you can use Rust well.

All the popular Rust parsing libraries aren't even focused on the use that most people use "parser" to name. They can't support language-parsing at all, but you only discover that after you spent weeks fighting with the type-system to get to the real PL problems.

Rust itself is parsed by a set of specialized libraries that won't generalize to other languages. Everything else is aimed at parsing data structures.

Um, not really any reason to doubt as there's nothing wrong with selling what you find works

Moreover, my experience in having formerly trained to compete at top international levels, studied exercise physiology and worked as a trainer, is very similar.

The really short oversimplified version is: more intensity, shorter training, and more rest — it is the balance of exercise and rest that is key. And world-class results are definitely possible with relatively brief workouts; in fact, it's the best way to do it.

The simplified concept is the muscles gain strength with stimulated rest. The training/exercise only provides the stimulus for the muscles to grow, the exercise does not actually grow the cells, it degrades or damages them. It is the repair process that strengthens the muscle. Too much exercise and too little rest (=repair+growth) just degrades the system; too much rest without exercise stimulus wastes potential growth time.

Some is good, but more is not necessarily better.

While there is no question that some exercise is almost always better than none, if you want peak results, intensity is the key. By intensity, we mean pushing the muscle to failure, so the end of each lifting set is not a predetermined number of reps, but the rep where you push as hard as possible and simply cannot complete the lift (after ~5-25 reps depending on focus on strength vs bulk, respectively). Do that one to three times for each muscle in the workout, then give it some days rest. A 45-min workout is sufficient to work the upper, mid, or lower body zone. Doing only one zone each day fits a max of six workouts per week, and monitoring vital signs (pulse/bp/temp) for overall stress will usually reduce that to around four weight workouts per week. This is what worked for me and the people I trained, and I'm not the least bit surprised to find it also worked for Dorian Yates (and no, I'm not selling anything related to exercise programs).

Why xfs over the more popular ext4?
It can be a wrong AWS profile in your configuration. In that case, you can correct the configuration, or use an empty server, docker container, or even CloudShell.
It is vendor lock-in. The cost of leaving is not in the SSD but the software ecosystem you'd be giving up if you want the same performance with other hardware. The $1000 SSD is the rent or surplus they are charging by the virtue of their lock-in, minus the prevailing price of the a comparable NVMe SSD.
There are hundreds of millions of people on X. If one cant find a circle of like minded people there, one has to take some personal responsibility for character failure.
It was ext3 if I remember correctly. I usually stick to the default file system unless I have a really good reason to do otherwise.

I had the exact opposite experience. I starting using KDE 5 for both work and personal use about 6 months before bookworm became stable and have been extremely happy with it ever since. And I say this as someone who is typically very critical of the roughshod nature of Linux desktop environments. (Namely: every time we have something good, a person or team comes along and wants to rewrite it in their image. Hopefully the KDE devs can stay the course this time and adhere to evolutionary rather than revolutionary growth.)

I was thinking along similar lines, bit it becomes a theoretical question when you cannot test/evaluate/interact with subjects anymore.

Also, I'm wondering whether a difference of 1 IQ point is even noticeable, and if not, what's the smallest noticeable increment or faction of a unit.
>”human capital was strongly transmitted from parents to children”

That doesn’t sound distasteful to me at all. Is that bad?

Can we make a distinction between parents raising their kids and giving them great opportunities, and “nepotism” where people are put in no-show jobs or are wholly incompetent?

It seems like the system of “nepotism” the paper describes is not bad at all, but instead is working well since the paper observes that when passing occupation from father to son would be inefficient/lead to bad social outcomes, it happens far less
Fascinating. Vinge is about the furthest from “soft” sci-fi I can think of. We must have very different definitions of what makes something soft.

It’s certainly true that Vinge doesn’t spend much time on the engineering details, but I find him unusually clear on “imagine if we had this kind of impossible-now technology, but the rest of what we know about physics remained, how would people behave?”

He was, after all, a physics professor.

Rainbow’s End is much clearer on this than his distant future stuff, of course.
No it's kind of all one global feed right now. There's different "curated" lists of users you can follow and "super clusters" of tight knit interest groups like "swifties" and "kpop" but basically they're still plugging in moderation so admin has had to ban accounts that were trolling the lefties, has left it with a bit of a monoculture IMO

It's technically ready to federate but there aren't any other services that make it easy to create an account: you can self host your identity which is good and then select your own moderation services to follow but as to "who's on bluesky" its a certain type of person.
Hello, here is my proposal to improve the Electoral College. The basic idea is to allocate electors proportionally in each state with the Jefferson method (aka d'Hondt method) rather than using a "winner-take-all" system.

What do you think about it?

PS: I'm not from the US, so an American perspective on that would be extremely appreciated :)
I plan to add midi export soon and I enjoyed your slow filter sweep. Cheers!
I use both and I enjoy the simplicity of Gnome recently and some of the polish, but the constant decisions and weird stuff from Gnome as developers and as an organization send me running every time.

Almost anything you want to do in Gnome touches a spec or design that someone made there and has some obscure thing that kills it entirely for practical use but they won't change their spec or designs foe bizarre and nearly political reasons.

It's their project and they are free to do what they want. But, contrast this with my time as a KDE developer or user and it's night and day. The KDE people want to get everything done by any means possible and we will clean it up to get it shippable. We have moved entire code bases and specs to do it. Ever since Valve got involved that aspect only improved IMO.

My bet has been on KDE for a bit now, even if it's not my current daily driver.
I did find codebuff a lot easier to install and get started with...usability can make or break a project. Just as a user, I think it's nice to have multiple projects doing the same thing -- exploring more of the solution space.

(I've just played a little bit with aider and codebuff. I've previously tried aider and it always errored out on my code base, but inspired by this comment I tried again, and now it works well.)
KDE is like 100x better than Gnome. This is great.
Someone who doesn't want to spend, is calling others who don't want to spend cheap. Classic.

GitHub is cool, no hate there. I have ran a custom software development company.. so I was expected to send my customers who don't know how to use Github, to Github? We used Gitlab and it is much easier for us to support our customers. We use it heavily at CodeConductor.AI also. We will support GitHub, BitBucket and anything that speaks git.

Github market is big enough, and they pay. You are fine. No hate on Gitlab though, bro.
I’ve been feeling this way for a long time. My solution is to completely disengage and force myself to stop caring. It isn’t easy (see this comment), but it helps in the long run.
The Facebook we had back then was completely different than what it is today. 100% of the content on the page was contents directly created or shared by one of your friend. No suggested posts, no ads, no news, no "influencers", no politicians, no algorithm, no tracking, etc. Being invite-only at first also means everyone you see on the site are friends or friends of friends, no parents, no teachers, no cops, no media organizations, no companies, etc.

You would login and see what your friends were up to, in chronological order.
I'm surprised it doesn't overheat already. My 4TB on an M.2 2280 form factor runs at 60+ C. Compressing that down would make it much harder to dissipate the heat.

It uses technological differences as key plot and setting components not just space as sea, so it is sci fi but it is improbable in many ways so yea “soft” sci fi or more speculative fiction
You can store all data in ClickHouse (on S3 or on local storage); there is no need to separate historical and real-time data.

To insert data into ClickHouse, you use the INSERT query to insert data as frequently as you'd like.

Alternatively, you can set up continuous replication from Postgres to ClickHouse, which is available in ClickHouse Cloud.

Four things for me stick out in the under $100:

Like many people here, a no-name double edged metal safety razor: I think I got this for around $25 or so with a set of 100 blades and 3 soaps; compared with disposable razors, this has been amazing - a better shave, a nice experience to it and so cheap. it took me about 2 years just to get through the "free" box of blades for it.

Secondly a set of silicon coated spatulas for cooking. These have saved me so much food waste and have made cooking for 2 a lot easier.

Thirdly, few magnetic digital timers I've stuck to the fridge. I've found these brilliant when cooking, it makes it much easier to track when doing several dishes. I start one when I begin cooking as an "overall" time that gives me a reference and then I've two others that I'll use as needed when doing something specific during the overall meal cooking. It's made it much easier to keep everything on track.

And finally a VESA mount bracket for a cheap standing desk I have. I'm not sure what took me so long but having a mount for the monitor instead of it being on the desk completely changed the space available and made it so much more useful. I have a very small workspace so that was a driving factor.
Wow, I’d forgotten about that but you’re right.
I don't think there is a way to take over Taiwan and preserve TSMC's manufacturing capacity there.
The US now has an isolationist regime. I think that's fairly likely to happen in the next few years if it is going to happen. Ukraine is also done unless Europe (probably Poland) steps up in a big way.
Apple told us the first iPad supports up to 11 finger multitouch, so people were understandably curious and got creative.
I spent way too much time trying to figure out which desktop environment is the one I should use. 25 years ago, it was something I cared a lot about.

For me today, I don't think it really matter because they are equivalent.

Frankly, all modern operating system desktop environments are good enough. I can install applications, launch applications, configure wifi, reboot, etc... What I need day-to-day is a pretty short list. The real determining factor is application support and that is what determines where I'm going to be working.
Really really thanks for your creation, I love it!
Nepotism is mostly a scaling problem. If you have a decent family and aren't an idiot about it - then for smaller stakes, and over shorter time-spans, nepotism usually works extremely well. And there is precious little damage to society, if Chuck hires his son Sam to drive one of his Chilly Chuck's Ice Cream Trucks for the summer.

But scale up enough, and nepotism looks both idiotic and evil. The "overhead" of finding, vetting, and orienting new talent - not meaningfully related to you - is relatively fixed. Vs. the chance that Albert Einstein's son is also a Nobel-level physicist is pretty damn low.

[Added] The top end of the nepotism disaster scale, of course, is having hereditary government leadership. So when "noble blood" yet again proves itself piss-poor, the go-to ways to replace the ruler are often murder, mayhem, and/or war.

That's nice resource, especially the "Tests" part showing Firefox keeps them all supported and Safari dropping most of them.

I have explored system colours including deprecated ones with intention to try to tap them into some more pleasant scheme (dimming canvastext for bordrers through color-mix() for example) and was interested about the "palette" we could use without defining own colours. Made a comprehensive "sampler" to test them [1,2] and Results were quite sad, especially outside Firefox [3].

Media is not like software.

Software can be kept going with some maintenance investment. If you built it, you can keep it running for as long as you like.

A movie or tv show, on the other hand, is a complex web of rights and contracts. The initial launch aligns everyone’s interests, but releasing it in new countries or on new media types requires business and legal discussion. If it’s worth it, it’ll happen.

Each one of those agreements is also time-limited, and so if you do nothing you can still end up with a title that is too much trouble to keep around.

(All the above is speculative wrt these titles in particular. But go look at Moonlighting as a tv show that was blocked for many years due to this)

> […] with custom firmware so you couldn't just use any old drive.

Commercial storage systems (appliances, SANs) also have approved firmware versions (though not necessarily custom) as there are things like firmware bugs.

Supposedly some of the things that ZFS has found is SANs that should 'know better' doing dumb stuff like retrieving the wrong LBAs: the checksum according to the SAN is correct, because it is data+cksum in one sector, but it was the wrong sector that was read. ZFS caught this because its checksums are in the parent directory structure and not tied to the data blocks themselves. This also catches things like the two sides of a mirror being out of sync.
