Very likely, but who's going to pay for the engineering efforts? If the customer doesn't care about having a better device, or a better device would actually make their job harder, then it's wasted effort on the part of the manufacturer.

Engineering exists to solve a problem. It's entirely likely that your definition of the "problem" differs from that of the paying customer.
I found Casino Royal to be a huge disappointment. As far as I'm concerned, the whole concept of "spy action thriller" is inherently ridiculous, so you might as well go all in on the wacky cartoon hijinks and have some fun with it. The franchise peaked with Die Another Day.
Its so dependent on font size (or more accurately PPI) that its hard to pick. On my current monitor my favorite Berkely Mono looks thin and hard to read unless I bump up the size higher than I'd like. But drag it over to a Retina screen and it looks fantastic.
Illegal under Danish law.

> In a Danish Supreme Court judgment of 28 November 2003 the move [forceful relocation from Pituffik to Qaanaaq to make way for the Thule airbase] was considered an expropriative intervention. During the proceedings it was recognized by the Danish government that the movement was a serious interference and an unlawful act against the local population.[1]

> In 1995, a political scandal arose in Denmark after a report revealed the government had given tacit permission for nuclear weapons to be located in Greenland, in contravention of Denmark's 1957 nuclear-free zone policy.[2]

1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qaanaaq

2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Thule_Air_Base_B-52_crash

Both of these cases were Denmark breaking their own laws to fulfill American requests of US imperialism on their territory. This is very similar to how the UK broke their own laws to hand over Diego Garzia illegally from the Chagocean Islanders to build a USA military base.

The colonialism in those instances, even though the responsibility is ultimately on their colonizers (Denmark), the USA very much participates, and is the main perpetrator of these events.

It really has, to the point where I just want a refund on those years. Just give them back. But then you realize that everybody had to go through that. For me, at least, it may be because there's is literally no part of that experience that I want to revisit or validate.

Ask HN: Would You Use an App That Reminds You to Take Stretch and Eye Breaks?
Hey HN,
I spend a lot of time on the computer, like many of you, and have noticed my posture and eyes suffer after long sessions. The big difference is that I’m also a physician specializing in neck and spine pain, so I know the exercises, techniques, and recommended frequencies—but even I have a hard time reminding myself to do them. I’m considering building a lightweight desktop/mobile app that nudges you every 30–60 minutes to stretch (randomizing neck, wrist, and lower-back/core exercises) and every 20–30 minutes for a quick eye break (like the 20-20-20 rule). The app would also provide simple, illustrated exercises to relieve neck/back/wrist tension and reduce eye strain.

Would you find something like this helpful, or would it just end up being another notification you’d silence? I’d love any feedback on features, pricing (free vs. freemium), and whether there are existing tools that already solve this problem. Thanks!

Only if the 74 quntillion possibilities exist. There's a pretty good percentage of 404s.

Plus, they don't have to do it every day, and clearly don't, since some people get dinged for videos they uploaded months or years earlier.

It's not like these organizations don't have the cash for the system to do it. It's not going to be one guy in the basement of the building overclocking a 386.
The Daniel Craig Bond movies were a pretty significant reinvention, much welcomed and generally pretty good, with the highs much higher than the lows were low. I don't think it's fair or accurate at all to say that Casino Royale, Skyfall, or even No Time To Die were of a piece with the 60s movies in tone or style.

They don't need an ID that won't collide with anything else in the universe, they need an ID that won't collide with other bottles.

That password is Hello123! for most people and that's why people get “hacked”. Great that you're one of the dozen or so people who can keep hundreds of passwords in your memory palace for several decades, but that's not feasible for us mortals.

Good passwords are hard because password booklets get lost, or aren't nearby when accounts are created, and people are terrible at remembering hundreds of passwords. Or even ten passwords, as I've found out working helpdesk.

If everyone used passwords safely, we wouldn't need 2FA on all that many services. Unfortunately, credential stuffing remains super effective.

I'm not saying passkeys are the perfect solution here, but pretending passwords are fine as-is is just burying your head into the sand.
Intel has this via their Total Memory Encryption feature today. Yes, geared towards VMs in the Windows ecosystem.

Memory compression has been around for ages, at least since Windows 10 RTM. All major operating systems have implemented this feature -- it has no relation to security, though.

> price elasticity of demand, which oil and gas obviously don't have

Not remotely clear. First, we have enormous amounts of coal and uranium, so we can make electricity for thousands of years, and EVs mean that if we have to give up on oil, we can. Second, the U.S. has something like 1,200 years' worth of proven shale natural gas reserves(!), so again, we can make all the electricity we need.

And many countries have vehicle fleets that run on natural gas, so again we could give up on oil if we had to.

Manufacturing natgas-powered vehicles is way less resource intensive, and way more sustainable than manufacturing EVs. And if we have that much in the way of shale natgas reserves then running out of oil won't be as big a problem as you paint it.

The development of natgas-powered vehicles and EVs happened in spite or because of the demand inelasticity of oil.
The biggest roadblock is, as always, backwards compatibility. The second biggest is getting people to agree to standardization and documentation, solidifying the expected base of knowledge. All in all, I don't have much hope for mainstream OSes to get these improvements. But in theory it could be done. For certain workloads, applications could even just make minor adjustments like your suggestion of scheduling policy hints for great gains. This is especially about being more sympathethic about context switches, which can embody better core/NUMA socket locality, better awareness for interactivity or batch processing, better performance/efficiency core allocation, etc.. So in general I would say we could get quite far without much application programmer or user intervention.
WoTC bought D&D so it's no surprise.

The worst they did is the LoTR Magic The Gathering card series. They managed to create black Aragorn and asian Gandalf. And they turned Goldberry into a fat woman. I'm sorry but that's simply not what the book depicts.

It's not done to unite people. It's not done out of good intentions. It's done because there's a very woke political agenda behind this.

It's not harmless: it's history rewriting. It's propaganda at work.

Yes. In the past new HW has been made available to the uops.info authors in order to run their benchmark suite and publish new numbers: I'm not sure if that just hasn't happened for the new stuff, or if they are not interested in updating it.
And the best way to handle this ambiguity is to use "Open Source" when referring to OSI's definition, and "open source" when referring to the colloquial and ill-defined form.

- "The vast majority of applications exist only for Windows, and speaking of games, Linux hasn't seen any AAA titles for many years now,"

The vast majority of AAA titles run seamlessly on Linux. Per protondb[0], ≥80% of the top 10, top 100, and top 1000 are rated "platinum" or "gold" for Linux functioning (by users).

Never say never. It may be a long while til we see 3%, but 5.5% isn't far off. Some saw about that during the recent dip a few months ago.

There are of course a lot of factors, but I think we'll be back in the high fives at some point in 2025 and settle around 4.5-5 after that. That's if Mr Tariff doesn't spike inflation.

The insulin example always drives me nuts. The type of insulin you get in Bulgaria is also cheap in the US. In the US, you can get a months supply of generic off patent insulin at Walmart for $40. You can also get extremely fancy insulins for $1000, and $10,000 insulin pumps.

So stop watching it. That’s the answer.

The problem with all this “modernisation” (what a euphemism) stuff going on in entertainment is that you’re trying to transform and change existing characters and franchises.

It’s just a money grab to capitalise on existing characters with existing fan bases.

Inevitably it’s ruined. Bond fans aren’t watching Bond movies thinking “this is sexist”. LoTR fans aren’t reading a fantasy series with influences from Christianity and a white guys experience in WWI thinking “we need more representation of people of colour and genders”.

The solution to this is also trivial: Forget all the old stuff. Write new characters and stories. Or build fans for modern works.

We’re already seen this done: Avatar (not the blue alien one), Dragon Prince, Wheel of Time.
Around 6 months. I didn't experience a very direct correlation with food either. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why it went away, I just know that I kept tweaking things until it did. One thing I also tried was changing my sleep position, which affects silent reflux. As with the food, not sure if this had a role in the remission.

Some people suggest an allergy component. The seasons changed and other allergies improved. The throat got better roughly at the same time as the allergies, but could be a coincidence. We know so little about our bodies...

I've been patiently trying a distro of Linux every other year for the past 20... Someday. The general trend: Things work well from a native install. When you start installing software and drivers, the OS gets totalled, sooner or later.

> What's worse is that software compiled for the current version of Linux X will not necessarily work for the current version of Linux Y. Linux distros insist that all the software must be compiled for their current releases or provided as source code. The problem with source code is that normal users won't bother to compile anything, and secondly, it's not always possible to compile software because it may depend on a specific compiler or dependencies that your distro doesn't provide

This is at the core of it, I think. Forcing a user to compile C code is a bad user experience; it often fails due to linking or other dependency-related errors.
How large of a model can you use with your 128GB M3? Anything you can tell would be great to hear. Number of parameters, quantization, which model, etc.

> I think of "choosing a dwarf makes you a lesser wizard" as being a pretty core part of D&D.

I agree that you should be able to make suboptimal choices if you wish, but I think that shouldn't be the issue.

Your character will be more than just a dwarf and a wizard (otherwise the game will be too simple), in addition to those things, so if a dwarf will be more likely to have an advantage at something else that is independent of classes, then you can have that, and still be a wizard, even if a "greater wizard" lacks what your character will have.

(There might also be the possibility, that if dwarf wizards are not very common (for whatever reason; there are many possibilities, depending on the story), then someone might not expect you to be a wizard so might be possible for some surprise if you are disguised by mundane means.)
Would this also work for video encoding using something like Sora?

> Unfortunately most of it goes to well meaning, but ineffectual do-gooders rather than actually solving any problems.

It sounds like the generic arguments of certain political parties, using terms like 'do-gooders' and calling them 'ineffectual', etc. Is there evidence behind it, in your locale?

The main issue I've seen is that public services are underfunded.
Same here. My passkeys are in Bitwarden and they're more complex and secure than any password websites will let me enter.

I don't trust cloud providers like Google and Apple to keep my secrets for me, but with Bitwarden I can just dump the secrets and load them from a backup if I wish to do so.

I've also been pleasantly surprised at how well logging in through CTAP2 works. Any laptop/desktop PC with Bluetooth can use the Bitwarden vault on my phone (after unlocking it with a password, of course) to log in with very little hassle. Much better than copying over passwords, or opening the password vault on every PC I need to log in to something.
Hypothetical situation: someone had an abusive alcoholic father, and discussion of drinking and alcohol brings up a lot of unwanted feelings, including anxiety, unpleasant memories resurfacing, etc.

You're suggesting that the person in that scenario should either suffer those feelings in silence or should just keep trying new groups until they find one that just coincidentally doesn't bring up those topics?

Or someone who was sexually assaulted should keep that to themselves, and if discussion of the topic comes up in the game and makes them uncomfortable they should just leave and go find a new group without telling anyone why?

Are you suggesting that you could just say "hey, these are things that bother me so I'd rather not be part of the game if these topics are going to come up", and either the DM can exclude those topics, or they can refuse and the player can go somewhere else? Because that's exactly what is being discussed.

Lay out your ground rules. If there's no way to reconcile, go elsewhere, but it saves people getting blindsided halfway through the game and then having to deal with it while surrounded by other people and potentially feeling very vulnerable.
As far as I understand, if you return glass into a recycling centre or to waste management anywhere here it will always be for cullet glass.

Bottle washing here only happens if you return the bottles at a supermarket or other retailers, who then return it (unbroken) to the original manufacturer.
Not OP, but I think there's a valid argument about how "modern" those countries are. It's generally accepted that Romania and Bulgaria were let into the EU somewhat early, mainly for geopolitical reasons (foreclosing Russian influence there, cutting off Russia from the West Balkans). They are countries that continually lie on the tail end of every EU statistic, and have relatively unstable domestic politics and rule of law.

Personally, I'd like to see Ukraine in the EU asap, but I'd also like the EU reformed into a democratic federation, such that the equivalent of the FBI has meaningful authority to investigate and prosecute corruption and rule of law irregularities in member states like Ukraine and Bulgaria.

After reading the article again, I think this might be an actual interesting Windows vulnerability - rather than a platform issue with MOR, I think this might be bad Windows code where the key is left over in places that aren't protected by MOR. It's quite unclear the more I think about it what's going on here, and the article lacks detail. It's very suspicious to me that the key has disappeared from the `ksecdd` pool but remains in the `dumpfve` pool, and this has my bug spidey-sense tingling.

I'm surprised given that the article mentions stepping into the boot process and `SymCryptSessionDestroy` that they didn't look more deeply into this; it's not how I really intended to spend my new years but I might have a new debugging project now...
Money doesn’t buy taste.

I gave up learning new systems after I spent lots of money on 3.5e books and then 4e came out. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to spend money it just seemed that another big overhaul of all the rules felt like the beginning of the end for the game being anything more than cardboard and paper for sale. My imagination seemed to be able to fill in any gaps that wizards of the coast seemed intent on selling me.
Yeah the gwangju massacre definitely happened, and he definitely authorized it because the troops who did it were under the command of John Adams Wickham.

The agreed framework would have prevented North Korean nukes, had the US actually honoured it. Instead bush tore it up when he came in to office, and then John Bolton fabricated the aluminium tubes hoax to justify it, which was later wheeled out to justify the Iraq war. Then they put north korea on the axis of evil so as to have a single non-muslim state there. All of that, but mostly the Iraq war is what led north korea to develop nukes.

And yeah, the deal was "no nukes (they shut down their nuclear reactor for 12 years unilaterally as a show of good faith) AND no long or medium range ballistic missiles in exchange for $1Bn and fuel oil for heating." Good luck getting that deal now :)
Can confirm - if I moved to a home that was the same price ignoring realtors fees and whatnot, my 2000/mth mortgage would go to almost 4.
Unless I'm gravely misunderstand this feature currently, it won't help that use case as the variable assignment only supports string literals, env cars, or existing files which wouldn't help your range request for the remote file

It would be a natural extension to treat the @ syntax as a uri (because, come on, it's curl!) if it contains a ":" but even that gets hairy because the next layer of indirection would be --variable-with-curlrc to allow setting the enormous number of parameters one would want when chasing the interior uri

I don't agree with the author, but fair enough, he makes some good points. Where he really loses me though is in section 7. Now maybe I've just been miraculously fortunate, and found the best part of the Linux/Steam Deck community, but I've literally never been told to fix it myself, that I'm expecting too much, etc. What I have found is that people are almost overwhelmingly friendly and eager to help, they see a new person entering their beloved realm of Linux gaming and they want you to fall in love like they did.
With Proton, Wine, Lutris etc you certainly can also game on a Linux if you want. I was just playing Path of Exile 2 on the Steam Deck (a Linux desktop)
