Not quite, by default the signal handler hijacks an existing thread. It is possible to keep a dedicated thread around that solely waits for signals, but that’s a workaround and you end up needing to also mask all signals from all other threads for correctness. And then there are also synchronous signals, which can’t be handled this way (eg. segfaults)

Imagine a scenario where the original thread state is in a critical section, in the middle of allocating memory (which may need a mutex for non-thread local allocations) etc.

The code within the signal handler can’t guarantee access to any shared resource, because the previous execution of the thread may have been in the middle of the critical section. With normal concurrency, the thread that doesn’t hold the mutex can just suspend itself and wait.

However, because the thread has been hijacked by the signal handler, the original critical section cannot complete until the signal has been handled, and the signal handling cannot yield to the original code because it is not suspendable.
Would it be possible to do HDMI from the expansion port, rather than up scaling the analog outputs?
Lawmakers have created endless nests of ordinance, law, etc deferring responsibility to other aspects of government. Regime change plans generally involve sabotaging resilient systems to make them become brittle. Then you force those systems to bear loads they cannot, destabilize, bring to crisis.

The problem here appears to be conflicts at a state level (safety mandates) and that at the federal level (airspace management, you don't shoot at planes and drones are small planes).

That's the gist of what I've seen with regards to these things. Paralysis and lack of proper chain of command absent disaster, is a sign of impending collapse when there is calamity.

Its unclear who owns the drones but it should be relatively simple with SIGINT to trilaterate the control signal, any decently experienced ham should be able to do that.

If there is no control signal and they are operating autonomous, they should be considered restricted/military weapons with a proper chain of command and oversight. Lawmakers have been paralyzed and unable to keep up for decades though. Its hardly a surprise.

When the costs aren't paid for proper preparation beforehand, the cost is almost always paid in lives.

Oh, interesting. 120db is much better than what I thought possible with CMOS sensors. Thats competetive with the human eye.

Well, that definitely changes my opinion on how feasible/competitive camera-only autonomous driving can be.

> The whole interview feels weird like its a giant PR/advertisement justification for her $250 million raise

That's entirely what this is.

You shouldn't raise at a $1B valuation without a single product in the market.

Google fired a shot across their bow by coming out with an even better world model the very next day after they announced their raise.

"World models" are going to become commoditized anyway, just like image and video models [1]. The product is what matters, and as it stands, companies like World Labs and Decart are just fancy research labs without a revenue stream.

Without a product, this is probably going to be Character.ai all over again.

It seems to be a fundamental truth of human existence that we're all extremely critical of others for how quick they are to believe nutty stories about people they disagree with, while sharing that fault. Tribalism is wired deeply into our DNA.
"We have not been able to corroborate any of the reported visual sightings"
I had this kind of stuff done repeatedly by a business competitor who kept kneecapping me as viciously as Tonya Harding.

ddos, abuse and dmca complaints (they’d copy my website word for word then dmca it saying mine was an obvious copy of theirs)..

it went on for oh I’d say about 10 years before I was finally , successfully intimidated and run out of business.

and they’re still around, peddling software of mine they plagiarized.

I probably had a good case for slander , tortuous interference or whatever but didn’t know that until it was too late to sue for damages.

meanwhile their own provider, was like “so?”
Who owns the liability if someone is falsely charged?
Interesting. I've been using the Hacker's Keyboard with Termux, but it doesn't seem to have received any updates in a long time. (I'm fine with programs being considered complete, but I also realize that Android is unfortunately a moving target.)

Has anyone used both and could compare them?
It feels like we are instead bifurcating instead of regressing to a mean. The rich are getting richer and moving to one side together as a group, while the middle class and poor are merging the other way into their own "barely hanging on class", distributed around a point far on the other side.

The average going up doesn't mean it's a tide that raises all boats.

I find this a bizarre way to assume that a person who has committed their entire lives to helping people would behave.

Yeah, communication tools are not a good fit for this experiment.

What I had in mind was mostly dev tools (e.g. slipcover, ruff, uv, ...) where

- individuals being able to freely use them on personal/unreleased code, and anyone being able to use freely them on open source projects unlocks a ton of public benefit

- large tech companies might legitimately cut their ec2 costs by 50% or more thanks to the increased efficiency

- there is not much room for SaaS or maintenance contracts to generate an income for the original author

Having a short period people working on projects they are unwilling to open source are incentivized to share a portion of their cost savings seems like it would be a low-hassle way to foster a healthy ecosystem of public benefit tooling

One day after school, my dad and I arrived home and he told me, "Sit down in the lounge room, and don't talk". I thought I was in some kind of trouble, but when he didn't turn on any lights, and walked over to the CD player I knew something was about to happen.

"We're going to listen to something, and I don't want to say anything until it's done", he said. Then he proceeded to play "A Momentary Lapse of Reason". It changed my life.

It was the first time I realised you can listen to music like you'd watch a film. The depth of the soundscapes still influence me as a musician today.

Thanks dad.

I completely admit I have a limited, second-hand account of the situation. It's quite possible that the circumstances were such that this was planned in advance of the wife's passing.
I wonder what a drone shot would give the CCP, that they wouldn't already have from satellites.
You cannot make an article like this and not mention the SatellaView, a freaking *satellite modem* for the Super Famicom... in the 90s. Let that sink in.
A few more points of random feedback as I spend more time with it:

- In my wide monitor, the circle on the dark circle on the left that is supposed to be the background to the white descriptive text does not scale at the same rate as the text.. Which means that I can't read the right hand side of the text when opening the page wider than half of my screen (microsoft edge).

- Not a fan of the 3d birds on every page, sorry. If there needs to be birds, I prefer the birds on the homepage to the AI-generated looking ones on the /learn/module pages.

- Would be great to have 5+ LBO model building exercises for different business types/different formats.

- I don't know if this works in Google Sheets, but it would be good to have an exercise where people build a sensitivity table.

- An exercise where someone had to go to the investor relations website of a particular company, download a historical 10Q, seek out information from the income statement or balance sheet, and then calculate a metric or ratio would be excellent. (i.e,. something that brings you out of the context of Quantus/the in browser spreadsheet, but trains more on the actual action of seeking and using public filing data).

- I haven't been through everything, so you may already have it, but a double entry accounting exercise would be interesting. I find that people who haven't taken accounting courses in the past sometimes struggle with how the 3 statements fit together.
I think after the performances seen in the match, it is fair to say, that Carlsen would probably have won against both of them, at some point taking the lead and they might have never evened the score after that.
And neither are interesting or even mildly amusing.
Did you verify?

ie. pull the descriptive subtitles or watch the indicated episode?

It's still incredibly painful as a learner though when things don't quite pan out. You start gaslighting yourself and then handwaved/convince yourself away that this must be true given how consistent all the "downstream" work is, and that you just don't fully understand it.

So, I agree with the author that this is super helpful, even if we know the proofs are "true" in the end
And how could you actually determine if we’re actually in second 2, or actually in second 0 with knowledge/memories/sensory input which makes you think we’re in second 2?

At some point it does boil down to faith that we aren’t in that scenario/it isn’t what is occurring. Philosophically, it’s hard/impossible to fully logic our way out of this kind of problem.
I think Xreal will likely be your best option right now, but there software support is not so good. Youll likely go down the rabbit hole and learn about viture and rokid and make more informed decision.
This statement about energy density is false, the result of an incorrect computation. The correct ideal energy density of lithium-air batteries is less than half of that of gasoline.

See other comments for the correct computation.

I think that "U.S. Technology Rules" is not correct.

Taiwan's microchip technology is better than the US's.

Several countries have hypersonic missile technology that's better.

China's space technology is better at present than the US's. (The current US space technology level is a far cry from the Apollo era of the 1960s-1970s.)

And the main reason for Europe's decline is the loss of cheap energy from Russia after 2022. If you can't compete price-wise, you go out of business. When your manufacturing companies go out of business, the country gets de-industrialised. That was a completely self-inflicted disaster. The US didn't stop importing important commodities from Russia in 2022, while Europe did. (A very dumb decision on Europe's part.)
In your email example, the sender would be in violation of the license, not the recipient so it doesn't seem like a huge problem: if someone wants to build a better email client (for whatever metric) then the users of that client either need to make their own emails public (granted, not terribly exciting) or obtain a written permission for private use (presumably but not necessarily conditioned on paying a fee)
Nope. I just point to the root cause of the issue (devaluation of human life) skipping many intermediate steps and complications. I believe HN readers are smart enough to connect the dots.

There needs to be a rule that any recurring revenue service can be cancelled on the bank side. Then to cancel you contact you card provider not the company.

A UK direct debit is like this I think.

If this breaches contract then the service provider needs to get a lawyer.

Very nice keyboard. It would be so awesome if auto-complete and auto-correct would be added as optional features.
No, I'm proposing the opposite: that states try to act more like Norway/Finland by themselves, instead of hoping the federal government will do so (which isn't going to happen).

And yes, schools are funded by local taxes, but it doesn't have to be that way: if states really wanted to, they could take that power away from municipalities. The constitution gives the states broad powers to run themselves as they like.
This article is about the NES expansion port though, so I'm a bit confused at why a Super Famicom peripheral is relevant? I agree the SatellaView is cool though...
The article mentions this in the subtitle and body.
One that's missing is treating ~ as the home directory. This appears to be a shell thing and not a POSIX API thing. For example, this doesn't work:

func main() {
if _, err := os.ReadFile("~/.bashrc"); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println("ok")
}

Meanwhile over in shell land:

$ echo ~/~/~
/home/jrockway/~/~

The behavior is actually kind of amazing.

I mention it because while "yourprogram ~/path/to/file" always works, having a repl that asks for a filename might not work. I've seen a lot of software where this DOES work, so I think it counts as a "most TUI programs do this" thing.
I'm sorry but people that just lost their life partner a week ago are really not "of sound mind" when it comes to taking such kind of decision and it's criminal in my opinion to let them.

What's next? We let teenagers choose to die after their first love breaks up with them?

I'm neither against nor for euthanasia, but I also think the situations where it's the best solution for everyone are extremely rare.
Not to beat a dead horse, but looking at Microsoft or Sony, when they come up with rare or exclusive mechanisms they'll straight pay the game devs to specifically develop for it, to bridge the financial gap. Not just offer reduced store fees.

And Google was already pouring money into Stadia on the infra side, hell they could have bought a whole studio to make games tailored for Stadia.

Then they didn't.

As a bystander, Stadia looked to me as the most egregious dropping of the ball, in a field where reputation is worth so much.
But how else would I power this machine that outputs theorems?

Naively, you'd think that if demographics break down 50/50 between the sexes, then 60% of men being single means 60% of women are single too. But that's not the case; the article says men in their 20s are single at twice the rate of women in their 20s.

I agree that part of that ~30% difference could be women dating older men. But it could also be women dating each other: this[0] Gallup poll from 2023 found that 27% of Gen Z women identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Gen Z as noted here doesn't perfectly overlap with people in their 20s, but it seems like this could be another (better?) explanation.

Ah yes, the new Hippocratic oath, “above all else, maximize your profit.”
I don't think so. The amount of features something like Google cloud has + experience is not cheap to just build.

Plenty of companies try in Germany the schwarz group aka Lidl and the German Telekom too.

Also normal companies are not fast. It takes time for them to learn about something new, understanding it and then implementing it before they finally can us it.

If Ms tells you they will do it in 1-2 years everyone is fine with that. And GitHub announced GitHub spark. Google has this already.
We're all so pessimistic about the future not because we think it's going to be captured by the plutocrats and oligarchs, but because we know the future has already been preemptively captured by them. They're all doing the work now to cement their positions in the future, and there's nothing the rest of us can do about it.

I don't know what great inventions and technological leaps we are going to see in 2030, 2040, or 2050, but what I do know is that the benefits and wealth from them will be captured by the same class that is capturing everything today.
Rumors are that Apple are caving on there "no controllers" thing https://www.macrumors.com/2024/12/08/sony-vr2-controllers-ap...

I think requiring the gestures as the baseline control scheme is smart though since for something like a VR headset, having the controllers around and keeping them charged as well adds a lot of friction to using it. They should be an option though since basically any game requires it.
In Peter Jackson's defense re Treebeard...

Treebeard did spend what seemed to Merry and Pippin an interminable amount of time deliberating, including a full three days in agonizingly plodding discussion with other ents, and it is emphasized that this is THE defining character trait of ents. The shape of the interaction between the hobbits and the ents was of the hobbits becoming extremely bored and impatient. It is more important in a film adaptation to capture the feel rather than slavishly copy the book blow by blow. There is only so much screen time to go around, and the character trait has to be conveyed somehow while still moving the plot along. If the movie faithfully compressed the entire ent episode into its runtime, including the 3 day entmoot, it would be both incredibly boring, and spiritually less accurate because it would feel rushed and cramped.
This behavior seems difficult to actually implement in practice, no? Your application has to be careful not to accidentally cache any configuration state, as well as any state derived from the configuration, otherwise it will go out of sync. Maybe easy for trivial apps but most apps requiring configuration files are non trivial.
Google's cellular geolocation implementation is probably unmaintained & all their focus is on WiFi+GPS+Fusion via SLAM.
Fair point. Sorry if I didn’t find more accurate wording. It’s not so much about politics per se, but about woke “i am the center of the world” mentality and set of values.

It is so happens that in Canada they often go hand in hand with extreme leftist and extreme radical atheistic ideologies.
The refactoring idea is interesting because I can imagine "proof compression" creating a less readable proof too, similarly to how a code one liner can be harder to read.
1) there was a very public delay to shoot down anything even remotely above people. They just aren’t going to shoot something down over a city

From the WSJ article I mentioned:
“ Federal law prohibits the military from shooting down drones near military bases in the U.S. unless they pose an imminent threat. Aerial snooping doesn’t qualify, though some lawmakers hope to give the military greater leeway”

2) as you probably know, the pilot doesn’t really guide the missile…calling the pilot an idiot just clearly shows you have an axe to grind. Also, it’s not like the seekers are calibrated to take out balloons.

3) regarding EW - the tech is obviously still evolving and not always deployed
“ U.S. officials said they didn’t know who operated the drones in Nevada, a previously unreported incursion, or for what reason. A spokeswoman said the facility has since upgraded a system to detect and counter drones.”

Also, it is certainly possible to harden drones against EW as is being done in Ukraine on an evolving basis
Supported VDBs: Currently MongoDB, Redis Search and Qdrant https://docs.superlinked.com/run-in-production/index-1

As you say, AstraDB also offers vector search (you can see it at https://superlinked.com/vector-db-comparison) but we haven't built the integration with them yet. We focus on fewer but higher quality integrations in general. Do you like AstraDB? Any advantages vs competition that you care about?

In terms of the plan you mentioned Astra+Redis - you don't have to do that, you can just use redis for both key-value store and vector search.
