Yep, for me the reason to go with Hue is that the bulbs have good CRI, good colors, and the colors match between all the different types of fixtures. I've also not had a single Hue bulb fail in the 6 years I've been using them.
It's a case of someone designs a tool to do A, then a lot of people who have problem B see it and go, that's almost what I want, with just a few adaptations.

JSON in its original form is fine if you want to pass data from a server to a browser's fetch request. No need for comments.

(If you're passing data from one process to another, and neither of the processes is a browser, have you considered protobuf?)

For humans writing config files, such as the VS Code one where you sometimes need to go in and do things by hand, both the ability to temporarily comment stuff out and do put comments above particular settings, are extremely useful if not essential. The "comment: '...'" approach doesn't work here or anywhere else where you have a schema to validate against.

Comments are not part of how JSON was originally defined. It's technically correct (the best kind of correct, some say) that comments are not part of the spec. But comments are sure how most people who edit JSON as a human [want to] use it. If the spec says A but everyone is doing B because that's what best solves their problem, then either you write a new spec and call it JSON++ or JSON-C or something and watch most people switch to that, or you adapt the spec in the first place.

> Unless my phone can be a PC

But it cannot. Have you ever seen the kind of setups professionals in various industries are using for their craft? Like DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), 3D modelling (Blender / Maya / whatever), JetBrains IDEs (or others), architects, doctors, etc.

How does that fit on a smartphone's screen? It doesn't.

Your phone is not and cannot be a PC.

A laptop is barely adequate.

Now I'm not saying there's not that one musician who managed to create that one hit from his smarthpone but most musicians use a proper setup. Proper instruments. Proper PC.

Is a phone sufficient to post pictures and vids on social media? Sure. But there's more to the world than social media.

I haven't seen many vids of chip engineers or SpaceX engineers working on next gen tech from smartphones.

A phone is not a PC, no matter how much you're addicted to your phone.

The logic to detect and attempt to fix ID switches is unfortunately a huge part of multi-object tracking.
It might have been Nolan's idea, but the first Chuck E. Cheese was actually created, operated, and owned by Atari. Nolan wanted Atari to have a place to operate and profit from the arcade machines they built. But the engineering work, marketing etc. was all done by Atari employees.

When Warner Communications bought Atari from Nolan, they really didn't want the restaurant. So Nolan bought it from them, took it private, and expanded it.
To break the rules, thou must know them first.
I'm suggesting that people should have a sense of personal responsibility when operating potentially dangerous equipment, and that a person should not be required to pay extra for a business or hobby just because some well-to-do patent lawyer has come up with a business model which has an end-game of requiring that patents from his company be required in products.
That doesn't seem too difficult.

- Maintenance of roadways and bridges - Governments don't create wear and tear, vehicles and weather do.

- Food safety standards - Governments aren't harvesting lettuce with e. coli or selling diseased meat.

- Public healthcare - Governments don't create disease, but they ensure access to healthcare (at least the good ones do).

- Building codes - Governments rarely build houses themselves, but they do enact requirements for acceptable building materials, wiring standards, safe insulations, and so on.

- Environmental regulation - It's not entirely accurate to say that governments create zero pollution, but it's an insignificant factor compared to the industries for which they control regulations.

I'm sure some could try to argue each of these points with very narrow counter-examples, or try to stretch the meaning of "have a hand in creating" to be so wide as to encompass everything. Governments are a major part of society, after all. But on the whole, these are solutions created in response to problems in society that emerged naturally, without government oversight, programs, or committees behind them.
If the hue app works for you then don't switch. You'll spend days learning and configuring everything and in the end it will not work reliably anyway.
I think the point is that Intel had such a lead in the Bulldozer era that for AMD to overtake them was a tremendous failure.

I would not say that the first gen of Zen is was a clear winner over Skylake. It took a couple iterations before AMD clearly took the lead. AMD was simply so far behind that several large generational improvements were needed to do better than Intel.
I see you’re being downvoted on Hacker News for what appears to be an expression of support for founders selling out for millions of dollars.

I am personally much more fascinated at the new possibilities opened up by having all this processing power in a handheld form factor than the prospect of humanity being able to snap slightly better looking Instagram pictures.
It's because in reality it just doesn't work that way, the reality of what education really needs is ways to collaborate on documents and sync those back to teachers, ways to broadcast or watch recordings of lessons and most of all reliability and control. In reality these needs are better served by Chromebooks or Android tablets. The fact that the Pi is a real computer and runs the real version of Python on a real OS while meaning a lot to the "maker movement" and hoddyist hackers it means nothing in the reality of teaching a child how code works which would probably be done more successfully in a web app and a web based Python interpreter or the wider reality of using a computer for work outside of code (most of the curriculum).

Personally I wish the world was different and those things mattered but in the reality of education it doesn't and as time goes on it feels more and more like the education manifesto of Pi feels opposite of reality. Take this like from their release:

"during the early days of the COVID pandemic, when we worked with the Raspberry Pi Foundation to deliver thousands of Raspberry Pi 4 Desktop Kits and monitors to young people studying from home in the UK"

Like what use would that have been? The systems can't run Zoom, not powerful enough to handle Google Meet, they can't handle videostreams competently enough for a conference, they don't have a microphone, don't have a camera like how would this have helped anyone learn during COVID when the main requirement was video conferencing.
There are interesting parallels between LLMs and downloading pirated movies/shows.

In the first case its a trillion dollar business based on scraping the entire internet and sharing out a lossy, compressed version of the content with no attribution or financial contributions to the original creator. In the second case its a shady, technically illegal practice of scraping DVDs or online video streams and sharing a lossy, compressed version without attribution or financial contributions to the creator.

Maybe Napster just needed VC backing to make it seem legit.
> Am I the crazy one for seeing that in relation with the recent Health Care CEO events?

Crazy? Idk. Overreacting, perhaps. Surely the risk of someone planning an assassination over a bit of internet outage is negible. It isn't even clear who the culprit is.
The start-up current of large table saws are truly massive. As in multiples of it's nominal "peak" operating current.

So to bring the blade to a complete standstill, in significantly less time than start-up, is probably not feasible, unless you have a massive bank of capacitors with stored energy so that you can dump all that current in the motor without burning your building's wiring. But that will probably vaporize the motor.

> Cell required Assembly programming Demoscene skill level to make good use of them, there was a C sdk, but really you wanted to write Assembly, and relatively tricky Assembly at it.

> It is one of the reasons why Playstation 3 is the less celebrated one, and the console generation where XBox was able to pull ahead.

In retrospect, Cell was a great architecture. In typical Sony fashion it was simply a few years too early. At the time games were single-threaded and many console games still expected CPU and GPU to be in sync.

On the PS2, the difference between using the vector accelerator or not was 1.4x – many developers never bothered. But on the PS3 this was simply not an option, as the performance difference was 6x (!).

The big issue at the time was dev tooling. Most existing engines had no support for dispatching jobs or any form of pipelining. Adding that required redesigning the engine from the ground up. On top of that the dispatcher/manager and the jobs use two different µarchs. Obviously, game and engine developers at the time hated cell with a passion.[1]

But even on the PC and Xbox, frequency scaling ended with the Pentium 4. Multi-core CPUs became mainstream. As CPUs stalled, most of the performance increase on PCs came from GPUs, that had moved from a fixed-function pipeline to shaders.

Slowly, even PC games had to do the bulk of their work in jobs dispatched across multiple cores. Engines that had adapted to Cell got a massive head start.

Today, the very textbook for game development – "Game Engine Architecture", written by Jason Gregory – uses the architecture of the Uncharted games on PS3 as the prime example for how to build a modern engine. As result, nowadays even small indie games are built that way.[2]

>> I linked two papers, and that quote appears in the first. Perhaps you were looking at the second?

Yes, that's the paper I looked at. "Not referenced" means that the 700k number given in the paper has no reference. The author seems to have pulled it out of thin air. Here I'm copying the text from your link with the highlight:

>> By comparison, the 1977 "Russian flu" virus produced a milder illness in most people (Gregg, Hinman, and Craven 1978). Over the ensuing years, after its emergence in 1977, the virus went on to infect a significant portion of the worldwide population, killing roughly 700,000 people. But this particular pandemic isn't important only because of its impact on disease and death: it also reveals uncomfortable truths about the complex relationship between viruses and humans. The 1977 pandemic is a cautionary tale, one that—hopefully—we can learn from.

Note there's no citation next to the 700k number. So where does it come from? Nowhere. The author just made it up. Perhaps that's the reason for the lack of concern at the 700k deaths: they didn't happen.

And where did your 200k number come from? Can you show your work?

>> If we get strong confirmation that SARS-CoV-2 (or any other new pandemic) arose unnaturally, then my prior would go up.

That's not a prior, it's a posterior: it's the probability of an event given the evidence. We're interested in a prior probability when we don't have enough evidence to calculate a posterior. Like with Covid-19.

Once more I suggest to try and get the terminology right so you don't confuse yourself and everyone else. It will also help you to find better ways to reason under uncertainty.

If the page said "Enter your Funko details to unlock…" or "Give us your credit card details to buy exclusive…"

Yes, that was my gist--that, examples introducing examples gives you a feel of the landscape, and assists you to arrive at the abstraction yourself. The abstraction feels like your own rather than something forced upon you.

The only fancy thing I need for my lights is what Apple calls "adaptive lighting", so that the colour temperature changes according to the time of day. The new IKEA Dirigera hub supports this too.

In the mornings and evenings all my lights are more yellow and bright white during the day.

You have to verify yourself that this is a level that human beings can reach, should they connect with their Creator and ask (beg) to level-up and learn.

My comments over the past few days explain it quite fully.

The "evidence" I would suggest is that the only tool-making animals are some primates and birds, but I'm sure there are others. But that is not abstract thought and thoughful choosing. Their choosing is purely for survival benefit, including their partnering with humans.
Interesting point about state charts for hardware systems. They're indeed excellent for modeling complex system behaviors. I've heard of Stately/XState being used for some embedded control interfaces - while it's typically associated with web apps, the same statechart patterns work surprisingly well for describing hardware state machines and their transitions.

And yet, we managed to work on PCs that were significantly less powerful than modern phones for decades, and got things done!

If you are expecting your phone to be identical to a modern PC then yes you will be disappointed. But its processing power and capabilities are more than adequate for 99% of software.

The percentage of 3D modellers and people running DAWs are very low; running office-style applications and web browsing is perfectly acceptable. We managed to live without the web browsing bit for many years too! Eg. I ran a 386SX and a 486 DX for my homework decades ago, without the Internet. Modern phones are perfectly capable of this.
>We tend to forget that not everyone on the planet has the same resources or needs we do.

True, but we must also admit that misguided prejudices about resources can lead people to miss out on some very significant opportunities, as well.

By way of anecdotal example: I have a Pi 400 on my desk that I have used as a Linux development workstation for the past couple of years - in which it has performed superlatively, I might add. Its small and light and fast enough, yet works as a perfectly good performance metric/measurement for the projects I've thrown at it.

I used it to develop a scientific instrumentation and sampling product which has gone on to produce >$40million in revenue for the customer. I've used it to develop audio capture tools which have been integrated into the r&d facilities at a major audio hardware vendor.

So, even though it might seem 'underpowered' and 'un-sexy' for most such tasks, this particular embedded developer has been able to squeeze much value out of the limits of the hardware. Not only is it a good performance reference, but it has just enough oomph to allow me to avoid using cross-compiler techniques, and in that sense is a gateway device to so many very powerful embedded Linux development tools and methods.
Ask HN: Why don't they remove the cookies (and hence the banners)

> These CEOs, all non-technical, focused on dividends, buybacks, and next-quarter results [..] The real issue? The board. Full of people like Boeing execs. They don’t get engineering. Trusting them to fix Intel is like hoping a plane door won’t pop open mid-flight.

And that economical model of maximum profit we have "chosen" as a society is exactly why we are possibly heading towards failure, as western societies and as economic entities in the very near future.

The problem is that once the cracks start to show, whether at Intel with the current crisis or at Boeing with doors blowing out and airplanes crashing due to gross negligence, so much engineering excellence and knowledge has been lost that the tide is pretty much impossible to stop.

Enshitification, whether applied to online platforms or to consumer goods is a similar expression of the same problem. Once the quality is lost, the rot has set in and there is simply no way back for the companies involved.
I think that "bubble" in this context means greatly overvalued, but not necessarily that there is an imminent danger. From the article, seems actually the opposite: the bubble is self-sustaining, because it depresses the other markets and economies and encourages even more do redirect all resources on the US market. Of course at some point things will change, but that point might be far into the future.

I'm not so sure calculating GDP by production would capture this. It should, mind you, as all GDP calculations should get the same answer, but a silly/stupid example of two LLMs digging and filling in a hole may not fit in a production calculation.

> the production approach estimates the total value of economic output and deducts the cost of intermediate goods that are consumed in the process (like those of materials and services)[1]

This is a very rough definition of it, but role with it. There is no economic value since the hole was dug only to be filled back in. There was a service paid for on each end of the project, but those are services that could fall into the category of intermediate goods consumed that is actually deducted. The transaction could actually have a negative GDP when using the production calculation approach.

Thats an amazing game! What model did you use?
