I second the different profiles for server, laptop, and so on. Though I know the kernel already comes with default configs, so I think there could be room for specialized kernel config options in addition to what's already there.

Though in my opinion, there's already kind of too much segmentation between the different use cases. A server is just a role for a computer, and embedded could literally mean anything. Quite a few WiFi access points come with a USB port on them so you can plug in a USB drive and start a SMB server.

Do you account for unpredictable, but climate changing, events like solar flare activity and volcanic activity, which also can contribute?

Meh. Things have changed since I left the company. Back then it was the majority of revenue.

Also, your data doesn't differentiate between chips and services, so it may well still be the case that IP revenue trumps chip sales.
The supposition that this is “more nuanced than I think” given the particular example you’ve chosen strikes me as quite bizarre.

Does “17 year olds collecting nudes of 14 year olds to gawk at and bully them over” not strike you as abusive and/or exploitative? Because it certainly does to me.

I think you’ve chosen to interpret my post in an excessively literal manner (i.e only adults abuse or exploit teenagers) rather than the far more obvious alternatives I intended (e.g a 16 year old “sexting” their 17 year old partner).

Or, put another way, if I say we’re opposed to abuse and exploitation, and then you present me with a situation involving abuse and exploitation, of course I’d be opposed to it. Certainly you’re capable of figuring out this isn’t the sort of thing I was talking about.
You're using different meaning for the word violence (even easier to see since he said "violence and force").
You were comparing this to abortion, and I'm saying the situations are the opposite. Losing something over your choice is the exact consequences of free speech. Being unable to do something over someone else's choices is the opposite of speech.

They would be replaced, not terminated. We lost a few million people in COVID, cso firing a few people is better than the government basically having a class action launched at the United States.
The first few are probably going to occur in south Asia and the most you'll see from Americans is some casual victim blaming. It's their poor infrastructure. It's their overpopulation. etc.
No, faceid unlocks a Cryptographic key stored in a TPM like device. Of someone can run arbitrary code on your iPhone, they can get it to unlock the TPM. If they can't, it would be challenging to fake FaceID right now. It uses a bunch of stuff, IR cameras, a depth camera I think, probably some kind of eularian video magnification for pulse detection. Possible to fake but expensive, probably need to hire some old-timers from industrial light and magic to do it with practical effects.

Or you mean literally hold the iPhone to your face, in which case they'd also need to force you to keep your eyes open. The greatest weakness of cryptography has always been that you can beat someone with a five dollar wrench until they unlock the system.
All the projects I've been able to start and make progress in in the past year vs the ten years before that are substantive enough proof for me that you're wrong in pretty much all of your arguments. My direct experience proves statements like "the lower knowledge requirement is an illusion" and "it takes much more effort to review code than to write it" wrong. I do code reviews all the time. I write code all the time. I've had AI help me with my projects and I've reviewed and refactored that code. You're quite simply wrong. And I don't understand why you're so eager to argue that my direct experience is wrong, as if you're trying to gaslight me.

It's quite honestly mystifying to me.

It's simply not the case that we need to be experts in every single part of a software project. Not for personal projects and not for professional ones either. So it doesn't make any sense to me not to use AI if I've directly proven to myself that it can improve my productivity, my understanding and my knowledge.

> If you ever need to troubleshoot or debug something, you'll be forced to use an AI tool for help again

This is proof to me that you haven't used AI much. Because AI has helped me understand things much quicker and with much less friction than I've ever been able to before. And I have often been able to solve things AI has had issues with, even if it's a topic I have zero experience with, through the interaction with the AI.

At some point, being able to make progress (and how that affects the learning process) trumps this perfect ideal of the programmer who figures out everything on their own through tedious, mind-numbing long hours solving problems that are at best tangential to the problems they were actually trying to solve hours ago.

Frankly, I'm tired of not being able to do any of my personal projects because of all the issues I've mentioned before. And I'm tired of people like you saying I'm doing it wrong, DESPITE ME NOT BEING ABLE TO DO IT AT ALL BEFORE.

Honestly, fuck this.
That seems a bit too much to ask, I want the piece of mind of knowing the browser keeps isolated sandboxes, if that philosophy changes I would be very uncomfortable using the browser.

How about we go back to thick clients, with LLMs the effort required to do that for multiple operating systems will also be reduced, no?
Just a small aside, are Stirling engines used on other spacecraft? The Wikipedia article suggests development was largely abandoned a decade ago. My first glance concern would be that because it's reliant on moving parts it is liable to fail sooner than a purely thermoelectric RTG (due to part wear, lubricant leaks, fatigue, etc). This would seem to be quite important on the timeline of a probe that is going to take a long time to reach the subject of its investigation.

Which, to your point, only works against the idea of hypothetical Voyager 3.

It would happen in poor countries and won't result into much "discourse". It has already happened actually. Moreover, even if it happens in the rich countries, are companies & countries ready to ban crypto or AI training of LLMs ? Would we be okay to increase airline prices (by putting a tax) so that people fly less ? Will countries be willing to reduce thermal energy by prioritising solar, wind and nuclear energy ? Can all countries decide to reduce petroleum usage by putting a 100% tax on gas ? Or will be ready to go vegetarian and vegan for reducing cattle farming ? Will be okay to put fines on food wastage ? If not, then there won't be any "whatever it takes"
This article makes a good point about sites using passkeys alongside passwords, which basically renders them useless. But after that, it starts to read like AI slop.

The article also doesn't discuss how Google and Apple have decided to weaponize passkeys for their vendor lock-in wars. Google and Apple can fuck right off. How many stories have been posted here on HN about someone getting locked out of all their Google services for some stupid reason with zero recourse? Never put any of your eggs in that kind of basket. (And yes, I know there are alternatives. But normal users will never know about those.)
I generated this list a few months ago. I picked a threshold population (I think 10 million) and listed the top 5 and then some other groups. I think I would also guess that resource rich countries spend a lot on cars and AC.

FYI, I edited list with latest numbers after your comment.
<sarcasm>You could have the LLM design a chip that accurately documents all the ways an LLM will get chip design wrong.
While people are excited about AI and datacenter use, it's still tiny in comparison to global energy consumption (1-2%) though that excludes all the crypto folks who are another 100 TWh per year or so:

> Estimated global data centre electricity consumption in 2022 was 240-340 TWh1, or around 1-1.3% of global final electricity demand. This excludes energy used for cryptocurrency mining, which was estimated to be around 110 TWh in 2022, accounting for 0.4% of annual global electricity demand.

You're hearing about the potential for a Gigwatt site, but a Gigwatt full out is less than 10 TWh per year (8960 hours/year). These things make the news, but they're pretty efficient electrically. The question is whether they have utility.

> and the basic technology for "much faster speed" doesn't exist.

Various forms of nuclear propulsion have been investigated. None of them are anywhere near ready for missions, but that seems to be more due to lack of investment in their development (and environmental/legal/regulatory/geopolitical/etc concerns) than any scientific obstacle. If NASA/etc were really serious about it (as in willing to spend multiple billions a year on it), it could probably be made to work in only a few years.
I'm not at all sold on this experience for disaster-recovery reasons. I can put a backup Yubikey in a safe deposit box or other off-site location pretty easily and for relatively cheaply. I'm not gonna buy and put a backup laptop or iPhone in one.

If I lost all my devices in a natural disaster I want way to be able to get back in to accounts. And personally I don't want that to be cloud-dependent (bit of chicken-and-egg dependency story, it seems, plus a centralized weakness). I might be misunderstanding the device-as-passkey story, but the stuff I've read about it hasn't seemed to proactively answer that question.
Several months ago. Even mobile FF on Android supports passkeys now.

And I'm not using Apple's Keychain sync, instead I'm using BitWarden to sync all my passkeys across multiple OSes.
Worth a watch, imo:

Actually, the federal government doesn't interrupt the Constitution, the courts do. Fortunately with the Chevron deference, unelected bureaucrats and "experts" can no longer do whatever they please. Congress, who directly represent the People, will have to craft laws/policy and not the smug busybodies of DC. This is Democracy.
> there has been zero discussion of deporting legal immigrants from any of the incoming administration

FYI this isn't true - Trump has spoken on denaturalization and Tom Homan (appointed by Trump) has spoken about deporting citizens who have family which are illegal.

The unfortunate reality is that the immigration rhetoric has nothing to do with economics or crime, rather they are a scapegoat. Fascist rhetoric relies on a ethnic minority to blame a nation's troubles on, and Trump has chosen those from latin America. Immigration is just a vehicle to get this ideology into your home and on your TV set, but it's not the goal. Ultimately, everyone is aware mass deportation won't make anything better for anyone. It won't help our economy, our deficit, our labor, or our crime.
Long-term should be defined. We can cool the planet the same amount long-term. Why is it taken as a given that any warming is irreversible when we have historical natural patterns showing global cooling (ice age)?

I think what they're saying is that when someone wants to use your password-locked device, they can threaten you with jail/obstruction of justice/beating/bullet, depending on where on the Law vs Chaos axis of the alignment chart they fall; you will then give them your password, and escape the extremely dangerous situation you found yourself in.

With passkeys, unfortunately, they'll have to keep you around for all their exploits, and may need to regularly re-threaten/beat you into submission.

In certain scenarios, there's such thing as too much security.

Yeah this is about phase alignment of multiple sources. brudgers comment explains it quite eloquently.
In my experience it’s usually a reference to the difference between pre- and post-WWII Japan.

Once Deming made it over there and sold the idea of statistical quality control they were at the forefront of manufacturing rather than a laughingstock.
Engineering is the branch of science and technology that focuses on the design, construction, and use of engines, machines, and structures.

Based on this definition, software engineers (SWEs) can be considered engineers because they design and build programming structures. Take Microsoft Word, for example. It is a highly complex data structure that requires a significant amount of expertise in design and programming construction to develop.
Show HN: SeeClickBuy – Chrome extension to buy anything on the internet

OP here! This was a fun hackathon project we recently made stitching together the segment-anything-2 model with Google lens. You can click on items you see from instagram posts, youtube videos, or basically anything you see on the web, and it will try to find the most similar items for sale. If you want to change something, you can also chat with the extension to edit the color, brand, etc.

Note: the extension is not published live but sharing the code here!
My understanding is that

1. Our rocket / propulsion technology today may be cheaper (thx largely to SpaceX), but it doesn't really necessarily provide MUCH more delta V. Meanwhile

2. Voyager launches relied on a once-in-a-blue-moon (not quite once in two centuries) alignment of various planetary bodies to give a spectacular orbital slingshot boosts.

So my limited understanding is that we can't really overtake voyagers very easily. Whether our current technology coild be made more reliable in the long term is another good point of discussion :-)
> Outlays have not come down to anything close to pre-COVID levels.

Federal Net Outlays as Percent of GDP have been around 20% since ~1980:

* https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYONGDA188S

They jumped to 30% in 2020, and are on a downward trend, with 2023 being at 22%.

Technically true not down to 20% in 2019, but not as horrendous as many people think.
I don't think ice-core measurements give year-by-year resolution good enough to determine this, but it would be interesting to know if someone proved it.
Pricing in externalities is probably the only way we can solve carbon emissions, and would still be very difficult. We would need global participation, otherwise carbon emissions can just be outsourced to other countries. Also, we need to decide the price of emitting carbon. Perhaps survey economists from every country and aggregate the answers somehow.
I always don’t understand this argument? By this logic, should every companies publicise their trade secrets and redact all the copyright and patents to maintain a dominant market position?
> Many costs are absolute and _not_ marginal

If you turn off your gas generator and replace it with solar + batteries, you will spend the entire cost of solar + batteries plus the decommissioning cost of gas (that may be negative if you can sell some parts) to go back to exactly the same point you were before.

So, no the cost is only marginal if you accept you will follow the depreciation curve of you infrastructure. And that's way too slow to reach the goal.
> but in reality, nature functions on the basis of survival of the fittest.

You probably meant that the animal kingdom follows the law of the strongest, or "might is right".

Time to post that legendary soundbite from Starship Troopers, I guess:

One girl told him bluntly: “My mother says that violence never settles anything.”

“So?” Mr. Dubois looked at her bleakly. “I’m sure the city fathers of Carthage would be glad to know that. Why doesn’t your mother tell them so? Or why don’t you?”

She said shrilly, “You’re making fun of me! Everybody knows that Carthage was destroyed!”

“You seemed to be unaware of it,” he said grimly. “Since you do know it, wouldn’t you say that violence had settled their destinies rather thoroughly? However, I was not making fun of you personally; I was heaping scorn on an inexcusably silly idea—a practice I shall always follow. Anyone who clings to the historically untrue—and thoroughly immoral—doctrine that ‘violence never settles anything’ I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon.

Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor,
and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this
basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms.”
I'm reading Pale Blue Dot to my kids at night currently so this is really awesome. (The Voyager missions are described in excellent detail in ways that I never appreciated fully before.)

It blows my mind that these are machines from the 8-track era. And they have fallbacks and redundancies that were completely ahead of their time.
Yev here - I confirmed that that's definitely a PATH towards not hitting those limits, but no reason to pay for 20TB if you're not using that much (especially if you're not using a reseller). I'm working with the team to change some of that messaging. The TL/DR is that most people will NOT see a change (we did a lot of analysis on the back end to see whether the throttling of <10TB customers would affect their behavior and most won't see a thing). This has been in production since Wednesday, so if you're not seeing any changes, your use-case is likely unaffected.
I believe the causation runs the other way. The IPCC was founded in 1988, when CO2 emissions were 22 gigatons per year. Nearly four decades later it's 40 gt/y, and continuing to rise.

Doomerism is the reaction to our utter failure to even pretend to try. It did not cause that failure. Nor are people looking at the data and going, "yeah, I ought to do something, but people on Hacker News were gloomy so I'm going to buy a bigger SUV instead." EVs and solar and suchlike are much, much, much too little and much, much, much too late.

Doomerism doesn't help, except in the extremely limited sense of helping someone express their frustration. But it also isn't hurting because we'd be doing exactly the same nothing if they were cheerful.
Passkeys are just fancy passwords and a password manager.

So the security totally depends on how the password manager is implemented. Mine uses storage that is encrypted by a long password.

How is one extra click taking away Twitter? This is like saying older apps (taken down because centralized services didn't like this) took away interactivity because they werre managing multiple feeds for you. That's all RSS is. Did Reddit/HN or any other link aggregator take away news sites? That's all RSS is.

And using other non RSS parts is fine again, RSS isn't a social media. It's a way to help aggregate content. You keep claiming to know how RSS works but demonstrate that you feel it's some competitor instead of a commodity.

And yes, the powers that be "won" becsuse they were at war with the idea of people not having all their time dedicated to their feed. Users "chose". to be manipulated becsuse their choices were taken down, weakened, or taken hostage. Similar to how users "chose" to use the official reddit app when they removed 90% of third party ones.
Important question: Why would anyone develop a web application in C? Typically web applications lean heavily on garbage collection and memory safety, because their bottlenecks are very rarely CPU/memory issues. The ROI on manually managing memory just isn't there for a typical web application.
Yeah, if your device is lost or destroyed and you rely on passkeys, you are well and truly f**ed. Your only hope is if you have recovery passwords stored in a password safe or manager. If you already have that safe or manager, than you can already very easily have 25+ character passphrases for every site you use, so what have passkeys gained you except having to be double-vigilant about having a recovery method for every login you create?
Standard of living and human development index is a better metric to measure how well a society is doing than money.
It probably happens much more frequently that someone thinks about a new thing... and then finds out that someone else got a patent for that already. So you can't even use your own ideas, if someone else independently had the same idea before you. Even if the idea is something really simple, like: "here are two well-known things, but how about using both of them together?"
how do you spend it?
The price of renewables has plunged to be cheaper than fossil fuels, battery tech is improving while prices are dropping, new jobs are created, etc, etc.

Making these changes are investments with real payoff in the near term.

The real impediment is that fossil fuels have made some people incredibly rich, and they are actively fighting these changes to protect their income.

The irony here is that Hitler did want peace (if only to clear the way for an invasion of the Soviet Union), but was continuously rebuffed by the British. This book is a good record of the various peace attempts and the British misuse of them to ensnare Hess:
