Microsoft has joined Open Invention Network a while ago and AFAIK (though I can be wrong) Valve is also member of OIN. They can't really attack anyone using their patents now.

And Valve is not exactly a small startup that's possible to sue into debt. Even though they're much smaller by headcount they certainly do have money and desire to fight any kind of legal battles. And with amount of goodwill Valve has from it's customer base anyone attacking them will end up with huge PR disaster.

Also even if above wasn't true I doubt MS want any more antitrust scrutiny.
Don't all of Wirth's languages let you use any ordinal as the array index? At leat in Pascal you can declare an integer subtype, say 7..17 and use that as the type of the index of an array. Then the first element is item 7.

The point being that both the start at 0 and start at 1 camps can have it their own way.
Yeah, I’m on GrapheneOS with the 9 as well now. Wanted to give Google a chance, lasted 2 hours ;)

I do sorely miss two LineageOS customization features, though.

* Keyboard navigation settings, GrapheneOS is super AOSP barebones there, which indeed makes gestures superior, but with LineageOS I’m far faster with the buttons.

* A feature that IMO should be in the base version of android, but somehow is not: Volume buttons for moving the cursor in a text field. Using touch for that is many times harder and slower when it’s stupidly simple to do so with the volume rocker.
Ok this is amazing. I can’t decide whether it’s funnier when the result header is something super official or when it’s just “sdf fdsfdsfg” with official content inside.
Author here :), I do think it’s a good direction to look into! That said, aside from it being a bit too much to do at once, you’d also have to be careful about how you distributed your FLOP budget across the hierarchy. With two levels, you can make one level (bytes/local encoder) FLOP efficient and the other (patches/global encoder) FLOP intensive. You’d also need to find a way to group patches into larger units. But ya, there are many directions to go from here!
It was so huge at the time. There weren't so many memes or silly videos around at the time (maybe some things from https://b3ta.com/ like Weebl's Badger Badger?), so everyone was aware of it.

I don't use Xcode so maybe it is an exception but in general I would say the opposite. For me it has been getting better over time.

People talk about Snow Leopard being stable but it was riddled with bugs, just take a look at the release notes for all the updates it received over the next year.

I see this claim about how people have “a wrong idea of what economics truly is” all the time when someone criticizes economics, but it's a No True Scotsman fallacy. Economics really is like that, and no it's not being “data driven” it's publication-driven with tons of p-hacking in order to either:

1. fit the author's worldview (these people tend to become the famous ones),

2. or simply get one more paper published to survive the publish-or-perish rat race (the average Joe).
The Nuremberg trials were a slap on the wrist compared to what the collective perpetrators, beneficiaries, and active agents of the war and the associated genocide deserved.

The broader cultural impact of them (and of the war guilt) imposed on Germany landed fairly well, though. Unfortunately, it is possible that it might have landed less well if the punishments actually fit the crimes.

Observe and contrast it to Japan's take on its war guilt, and its less-than-enthusiastic attitude towards taking responsibility.

> Economics is falsifiable.

I'm sorry but you can't say that about a field that gave a “Nobel” prize to Fama, shared with Shiller for his work which falsified Fama's.

And your following “effect of QE” example is actually a great example of the problem: pretty much none of the people who made wrong prediction retracted themselves, most of them still believe they were right but the reality just happened to turn otherwise.
The image is not of the singularity itself but the accretion disc.

This is not to discount that amazing accomplishment but to point out that, in addition to misrepresenting what the singularity is in a black hole, you also misrepresented what the image of a black hole is.

People involved in the opioid crisis pushed unnecessary and extremely addictive drugs onto unsuspecting people who trusted them with their care, and it was all done through very intentional deception, lies about how these drugs weren't addictive when they absolutely knew that they were, and through corruption by offering doctors kickbacks for getting people hooked on them.

Ignoring everything else, do you really fail to see how bribing doctor to lie to people about the nature of highly addictive drugs is different from a consensual transaction between two adults?
I would have thought Japan leveraging their Canon Nanoimprint Lithography for Advanced Node ( sub 7nm ) and grab most of the mainstream market while with Nikon Lithography focus on older mature node.

Turns out they are really targeting TSMC. So I am really sceptical as someone who is well versed with TSMC since 2010. I thought Rapidus wasn't going to be leading edge, it is some sort of scam and fraud. Turns out they are really doing it.
Ask HN: Side projects with > $0 and < $100 / month in revenue in 2024?
Given yearly posts like [1], I was wondering if there's a space for others to share side projects they're working that have got at least a paying customer (so > $0 / month revenue) but haven't really grown much (so < $100 / month).

I posit these people likely don't do ads, SEO, and/or are serving a very small niche (or need help with marketing/positioning). I know I have a couple of side projects in that situation (I'll share in a separate comment). I haven't found such posts, so I'm making/starting this one. Perhaps this can help them have these projects attract more interest and reach that other yearly post next year :)

Nobody is going to sit and wait for a robo uber in the suburbs for ten minutes to go to the grocery store ten miles down the road. This is the main problem, America has suburbanised itself to hell and no amount of robo taxis will create the world you are suggesting. And elsewhere in the world there’s no need because most places have adequate public transit which solves the problem way more efficiently than robo taxis ever will.
Really, if we want to make a case for addiction there is clearly an addiction to trying to claim new things as somehow addictive.

Do some people have examples of interactivity they were able to replace with Htmx?

For me, I've been able to get turbo style links with the boost to get nice page transitions. I can also see how I could use the class-tools extension to enable buttons to open dialogs etc.

I'm curious to see when people say they needed an SPA for interactivity, what interactive features Htmx can already do and when do we need to break out some JS.

An example that I think needs JS is a copy paste button.
I can't help but feel that this talk was a lot of...fluff?

The synopsis, as far as my tired brain can remember:

- Here's a brief summary of the last 10 years

- We're reaching the limit of our scaling laws, because we've trained on all the data we have available on the limit

- Some things that may be next are "agents", "synthetic data", and improving compute

- Some "ANNs are like biological NNs" rehash that would feel questionable if there was a thesis (which there wasn't? something about how body mass vs. brain mass are positively correlated?)

- 3 questions, the first was something about "hallucinations" and whether a model be able to understand if it is hallucinating? Then something that involved cryptocurrencies, and then a _slightly_ interesting question about multi-hop reasoning

I hate to nitpick but as you called the previous comment nonsense

> Vaccines are not designed to prevent transmission. They are designed to stop people from getting seriously ill and dying.

Vaccines are commonly designed to prevent transmission. For example it is a critical aspect of the measles vaccine [1]. If a magic wand could've been waved the covid vaccines would've worked that way too, and that is why they were sold to the public as reducing transmission.

> Vaccines and lockdowns were vital in high-density areas like Victoria and NSW...

There are enough counterexamples of people and places where different trade-offs were chosen. e.g. Brisbane. To say they were vital is injecting your own opinion.

c) COVID was only allowed to spread once enough of the population was vaccinated... instead of needing to go into hospital people could stay at home... it has taken years for the system to recover.

The overwhelming majority of people were always just going to need to stay at home for a few days, even pre vaccine. The reason the system has taken so long to recover is due to the suboptimal approach we took where we elongated the period of reduced throughput through the hospital system. The effect here was threefold:

1) The backlog of surgeries needed to be cleared.

2) Many patients had worsened over covid and now required more intense treatment.

3) Preventable disease was not being caught in routine checkups etc.

It is as easy as having Windows and XBox APIs that Proton isn't able to easily replicate, while requiring them for Windows Store and XBox Game Pass.

Valve got lucky with UWP.

No need for patents.

Also there is the whole question Microsoft has outlived its founders, will Valve be able to do the same, and those that come after Gabe will they sell it, what would their view be regarding Proton, and so on.
Why on Earth would reducing regulatory overhead decrease medical device/drug costs? That would only be the case if competition had already driven costs down as much as possible and margins were thin. If companies are currently able to charge high margins and their costs are lowered why would they choose to pass on any savings to buyers? Surely they would just maintain their prices and capture more profit.
That was an enlightening read. Such odd customs…
A quick search of “c++” on HN shows many C++ related posts explicitly mention the language. I would assume many other language specific posts also name the language they’re using to save uninterested parties a click. There’s really nothing particularly interesting about this: it’s a fairly natural pattern in a multilingual community like HN.

That’s because it sparked a virtuous feedback loop at a time when it just so happens people’s credulity levels are off the charts. The creators of AI tools have a benefit in hyping it, as do software vendors as do hardware companies as do hyper scalers as does meta as does musk as do systems integrators like Accenture and on and on.

I think OP is saying despite all that there is little evidence that end users are actually paying significant sums of money to use it. To this point it’s a great marketing tool for companies that are all eager to be viewed as innovative and you have lots of very wealthy smart people with clout like Bezos and Zuckerberg talking it up. Like any good bubble you have to have at the core a real asset.

So of course there are people who use it daily as many anecdotes here in the comments point out. It’s a genuinely interesting and useful technology. That doesn’t mean though that it’s going to result in AGI or become profitable while liquidity conditions are still easy. I promise you Mark Zuckerberg would be singing a very different tune regarding chip investment if he were having to compete with bonds yielding 6-7%+.

Yeah, people will go crazy for GPT-o2 trained on the readings of sensors "barely embedded" in the brains tortured monkeys, for sure.

Not really difficult to reinstall every major Intel Mac OS release, at least, as they're all downloadable from Apple in one way or another:

1. You can reinstall "the version of macOS that came with your Mac or the closest version that’s still available" via Internet Recovery[1].

2. You can download installers for every major release back to High Sierra from Apple via the App Store[2] or directly from Apple's update servers using a tool like installinstallmacos[3].

3. You can download installers for Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mountain Lion, and Lion directly from the Apple support site[2].

3. You can download Snow Leopard and Leopard from the Apple developer site[4] (free registration required; paid membership possibly required).

Note that the downloads on the developer site are the 10.x.0 retail builds, which may not be compatible with all Macs that shipped with a later build.

In this case, assuming the version you need is no longer available via Internet Recovery, you'll probably need to install and patch on an older machine, then transfer the patched install to the target via disk swapping, imaging, or NetInstall, or to install and patch directly to the target machine's hard drive using Target Disk Mode (or else track down a copy of the model-specific restore DVDs that shipped with the target).

Downloads from the App Store and support site should always be the latest point release, so this should only be a problem if you want to install Snow Leopard or Leopard on a post-release machine.

Installing non-final point releases is admittedly problematic: you can download some but not all x.y.0 builds from the developer site, some but not all patches from the support site, and a few x.y.(z < latest) installers from Apple update servers, but AFAIK there's no way to get an arbitrary point release of any version unless you can find someone who has a copy saved.

Though I wouldn't even be a little surprised if older patch releases were still available, unadvertised, somewhere on some public Apple Web server, given that you can still download System 6.0.3 (released October 1990; last supported Mac was the Classic, discontinued September 1992) if you know the correct URLs[5].

It depends on a number of factors, one of which is how the authors perceive the work. Does it stand on its own merits or is it interesting because of the technical decisions? Sometimes it starts as a technical exploration and outgrows itself faster than the author can come to terms with the magnitude of the work.
Ask HN: Device for Voice Chat?
I want a connect a group of people playing Minecraft (or other games) on different devices (Android tablet, iPad, phone, Nintendo Switch) to same audio chat so they can talk to each other.

So a device which can play real time audio and transmit audio when either button pressed or all the time based on detected voice levels.

Any idea as to which hardware would be cheap to use?

I thought about using Asterix with a SIP phone or similar. The phone could be dirt cheap but I would need to host the Asterix server and configure a conference room to join.

There are also two systems in Sydney, the big tall one on Rhodes Central [1] and the slightly smaller on One Central Park [2].
