And it means you get more bites at the apple on hard trails.

Without an ebike you gas out and decide not to go back up.

Do you get 2x more trips down the hill? 3x? Probably depends on your fitness level.

As an intermediate rider one reason I’ve not gotten an ebike is I worry that it increases my exposure to the more dangerous parts of the sport.
No, kudos to them for looking at a piece of data and asking themselves if it's worth storing—more companies should do that with more data. It's not that the rest of the data isn't valuable to some extent, it's that every piece you have makes the blast radius of a leak that much bigger, so why hold stuff you don't need?

Planning for a breach doesn't make you more likely to have one—if anything it makes you less likely!
I was seeing this on the front page of HN mere moments ago and now it’s gone.
> shitty location (Spain)

Eh? As in, proximity to the streaming server?

Otherwise, fiber is prolific in Spain (in major cities at least, to the best of my knowledge). I get 500Mbps down here in Valencia (for just €15 too!)
I have both a Steam Deck and a (Windows) gaming PC.

While the "happy path" in SteamOS is truly amazing, there are dark corners where it falls down. Third party launchers (like EA's garbage) are extremely janky. Hardware support in Linux/SteamOS is questionable for exotic peripherals (I have a TrackIR which never worked right, a MS XBox USB controller dongle that requires third party kernel modules, and a HP Reverb G2 which has only preliminary support through third party software). And some types of multiplayer anti-cheat are completely unavailable.

Some of this is solvable, some probably isn't. But there's a reason I still keep Windows on the gaming PC - sadly.
> The e- part is limited to speeds that most people can reach on a normal bicycle.

Maybe.

There are regulations, but the wording is generally such that the bike cannot be sold with a speed capability greater than X. So the bikes ship from the factory with a firmware setting for the max speed of X. But as soon as people buy the bike they go into the bike settings (!) and change it to whatever higher speed that they want.

Whenever crashes happen these settings need to be examined and they need to be part of the liability determination.

I think it's way easier to get in over your head mountain biking than playing hockey.

A casual hockey player finding themselves in a way too kinetic game of pickup can nope-out pretty quickly, or likely won't ever get into the situation.

A casual mountain biker can go on a casual mountain bike ride with his brother and find himself way over his head, then bouncing down the trail on his head, very quickly and without an obvious offramp. Ask me how I know... ;)

> This is nonsense; there are people gaming the system constantly who have to be actively fought.

Twitter has gone past that point years ago, possibly more than a decade ago. It's a warzone of drug resistant attention gamers and wannabes with cash to burn for as long as I remember. Maybe it wasn't as much as it is now during 2007-2008.

IMO, clickbaits and even wooow faces can be considered improvements so long that judgement criteria with presenters and audiences are aligned. Ragebaits are bad, open mouth brainrot thumbnails are disgusting, but a clear and content representative thumbnails would be good - the differences are not in levels of amplification relative to unmodified baseline, but in directions(is the "Inception braaam" bad? I love it and I think it's same thing as clickbaits.)

Evaporative effect as laid out in the article is a situation where "players" of social media as a videogame exhausts motives to play it. The game must continuously supply dopamine release to creators, whether by rewarding ever sillier thumbnails stronger or more insightful comments better, to retain useful players for content supply to continue. Again IMO, Twitter had achieved a near steady state cycle of gratification and content drop by architectural design, careful userbase formation, and useful set-in-stone precedents, relatively resistant to sabotaging and/or manipulation.

Is that entire thing a major net negative to this planet? Maybe. One could just say it and few would differ. It's supercharging scholarly experts across various fields and enabling invasive cultural pressures, so it seems neutral to positive to me.
Actually, no; see https://bsky.app/profile/esqueer.net/post/3lf72fz3fas22

The wording is fairly specific; one can only be ableist in the context of simultaneously being homophobic/transphobic.

Real great social media website they've got, there.
sorry, I only read your first sentence, but for something as well known as "Cancel Culture" if someone claims it must be proven to exist before it can be discussed then that is the person who's not acting in good faith, and has immediately discredited themselves, due to ignorance of very well known facts.

Asking people to list evidence for well known things is a well known troll-tactic, and often used as a way to deflect and redirect a discussion into the specifics of specific cases, especially when the main argument has nothing to do with any of the specific cases.
> Anyone on the fence about keeping Windows around just for games: unless you play online multiplayer that uses kernel anti-cheat, just make the jump. I promise you, almost every game in your library will just work, and almost all of the rest will work after you set them to run with a specific Proton version.

Same applies to Steam on Linux: Proton has opened to us a gaming library of a size we would not have dreamed of a few years before.
What if SteamOS included kernel-level anti-cheat? Seems like an elegant solution compared to the current approach of running invasive third-party anti-cheat software.
I've been wondering what the limiting factors are for migrating gamers and I think the larger software ecosystem and cumulative effect of paper-cut issues will cause people to bounce off.

Linux and running games under steam/wine/proton is great in the broad strokes, but users will have built up their own collection of tools or ways of doing things they will seek out equivalents for and judge the linux experience as a whole on whether they can do that. Many of the windows applications are very mature compared to linux because that's the ecosystem and audience its had for decades, there's nothing touching Foobar2000 for example (and the UI glitches in wine). Now add in all the other things gamers regularly expect to do, what's needed to accomplish them and how well they do it, overlays, screen recording, using modding tools, etc.

It also strikes me with the win10 end of life there's going to be a huge variety of hardware configurations people want to 'just work', in terms of age and which model someone chose in a particular generation. For example support for fan control on my Z270 board doesn't exist, presumably because of the way ASUS made that model.

I can appreciate Valve and their direct partners picking their battles on what to support as it's a huge gauntlet to pick up, but I really doubt the needle is going to move large distances and saying "bye bye windows gaming"
Hey man, funny "seeing" you round these parts!
Well obviously the roads, the roads go without saying, don't they?
You have to differ between mountain biking and downhill biking in a park, though. The latter is far more extreme with big jumps etc.

For me, I feel "safer" doing something where I'm in control, compared to when I road bike and my life depends on the whims of an angry driver passing too close. Even if the risk might be bigger in the end. Something about known risks you can control vs not.
Interesting, it's something I heard from a co-worker who grew up in the UK. So perhaps its some sort of urban legend there. Thanks for the check!
>"However, Huang claims that Nvidia’s AI chips are moving at an accelerated pace of their own; the company says its latest data center superchip is more than 30x faster for running AI inference workloads than its previous generation.

> We can build the architecture, the chip, the system, the libraries, and the algorithms all at the same time,” said Huang.

This seems only partially related to Moore's law.
I'm actually well aware of this and didn't mean to offend people. And 30% is actually quite a large percentage.

I actually make ghee myself sometimes from butter (easy and a lot cheaper than buying it from the super market).

A lot of (british) indian restaurants use cooking oil instead and I'm well aware that that's not the same as what people in India would consider Indian food and that something like a Tikka Massala is not actually a thing you'd find in a proper restaurant in India; which is a country I've never been to and would love to go to to experience the food.

But anyway, a lot of these restaurants use cooking oil because it's cheaper and because it makes everything they cook with that vegan by default. Which at least in places with a lot of vegans is a nice feature.

Here in Berlin, finding decent Indian food is a bit of a challenge in any case. Germans are hopeless with spicy food. And I know only a few Indian places that add more than homeopathic amounts of chili. Most of the Indian restaurants in the more touristy spots are owned by one family and those aren't great. I've gotten some tips from Indian colleagues over the years for better options.

Anyway a lot of dals indeed don't use a lot of spices or flavoring. And that's just sidestepping all the different regions and food styles. Which are a thing as well of course.

As for Malaysian/Indonesian style cuisine; I'm Dutch and got exposed to a lot of the Dutch Indonesian food which, similar to British Indian food is not really that authentic. Lots of meat in there indeed. And quite spicy.
I am also not a lawyer, but I would suspect it's not criminal to crack a real-world in-use key if you do so using only publicly available information and you don't actually do anything with the result.
Id imagine they're blocking access to the IP, or the endpoints used for certain functionality, like WhatsApp calls
Hey I mean at least they self regulate at all.
> for me, actually cracking a real-world in-use key crosses an ethical line that makes me uncomfortable

They've contacted the company with the vulnerability and resolved it before publishing the article - search the original article for the substring "now no longer available".

Usually, you demonstrate that an online system is vulnerable by exploiting that vulnerability in good faith, documenting the research, and submitting it for review. It does not matter if you're cracking an encryption scheme, achieving custom code execution for a locked-down game console, proving that you can tamper with data in a voting machine, or proving that you can edit people's comments on a Google Meet Q&A session - the process is the same.

If you say something's vulnerable, people can shrug it off. If you say and prove something's vulnerable, the ability to shrug it off shrinks. If you say and prove something's vulnerable and that you'll publish the vulnerability - again, using the industry standard of disclosure deadlines and making the vulnerability public after 60-or-so days of attempting to contact the author - the ability to shrug it off effectively disappears.
Yes. I worked on Ultima 7, 8 and Online (but only on UO in early stages as a manager to help get it started). Glad you enjoyed them. I think I still have box copies around here somewhere.

The pathfinding was a pretty expensive part of the game. I don't remember the profiling details of course (it was 25 years ago) but I do remember us being concerned about it. If I remember correctly we ended-up spreading out the computational load over multiple frames since the P.F. cost is obviously very bursty. I vaguely recall refactoring it to make it stateful so that we could spread the computational cost over X frames. Because pathfinding and follow code were the very first things I worked on for those games I had to write a sandbox because there was no game environment to work in yet.

I also remember that we added more and more "optimization" hacks to the pathfinder because of the cost. The discussion was like: "Its taking too long when the NPCs go upstairs and they end up lost in the bedrooms by the timeout" and so we'd add hacks like "Exclude staircases". There were a number of these hacks. Each of those hacks would then create non-obvious complications and I strongly remember a lot of frustrating time chasing bug reports of the "bad pathfind in case X" variety only to discover that it was working exactly as designed and that the real problem was one of these hacks had unexpected consequences like: "We excluded to staircase but the staircase tiles extend in front of the door so now they can't find their way out."

This is a tangent to your question about pathfinding, but while I'm thinking about it ... a lesson from U7 pathfinding (and animation in general) was that the stateful requirements were common enough that by U8 I built a Domain Specific Language to model/handle it. The language I built (called Unk) and its compiler had closure concepts very similar to what I later discovered was called "async/await" semantics. This DSL made the game designers life a lot easier -- remember other than those Unk scripts everything was in C and assembly, ie no garbage collectors. Again, I was too young and naive (pre-internet!) to know that async-like language concepts already existed so I just naively "invented" it all from scratch.
> Don't play competitive multiplayer crap. Especially if it's free to play.

Problem is that most good multiplayer online games have gone F2P.

I bought Team Fortress 2. Then it went F2P and got overrun with bots. Overwatch also went F2P after I bought it.

I like online team shooters, but like many genres it's dominated by the F2P business-model.
Live in an apartment in NYC and would love some way of turning our windows into solar panels. They only thing I've seen is a ~$100 device from a company called grouphug (no affiliation) whereby a small solar panel is stuck to a window via suction cup and can charge a phone (I believe it has a small in-built battery). Laudable but I wonder if it would return the investment.
That is my guess too, they will still release both a console and a portable but it will be open. Phil Spencer has also talked about allowing third party stores on these future Xbox consoles.
I have to admit I bought it mostly to annoy a few very specific friends, but then I kept using it. I would not recommend trying to host anything serious on such a TLD.

You can say this about a lot of security research, i.e "Showing a bug is exploitable is one thing, but writing a POC is crossing the line!" The problem is that most people won't listen to your security research unless you demonstrate that something is actually possible.

> Yes I know Ada is not a good fit, but there has already been a Unix-like OS entirely implemented in a derivative of Pascal: TUNIS.

Isn't it? There is a very well-developed kernel written in ADA with SPARK and formally verified at that: https://ironclad.nongnu.org

And PASCAL-derived languages were very popular for operating systems in the 80s. To name a few: Apple's LISA OS, DEC's VAXELN, and OBERON. There were others as well that didn't quite make it, like DEC's MICA and Acorn's ARX.
There are various ways to identify the type of connection that is being made. The most straightforward way for the service provider to block some traffic is to put in place a firewall rule that blocks specific protocol/port number combinations. This won't work if WhatsApp were to use HTTPS on port 443 because then the call would look identical to regular web traffic.

Another possibility is related to the fact Meta is likely cooperating in the data bundle scheme. So it might be that WhatsApp is intentionally sending a specific signal of some kind that Econet can use to determine what each connection is for. There is a good overview of some of the possible methods on Wikipedia, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_content_inspection

Or running your spine through a tree shredder, for that matter.
The issue is they would need to get rid of xbox live and allow installing apps outside their store. PC gamers will not accept having to pay for online and many play games that are not in the xbox store: all valve games, indie games, mods etc.

One of the issues with anyone discussing Moore's Law is that people don't specify which Moore's they are talking about.

The economic version of Moore's Law, e.g. cost per transistor halves every 18-24 months, died at 28nm. Dennard scaling broke down earlier.

Jensen here seems to refer to "total compute available in a given system", which is a strange metric: It's not compute-per-dollar, or compute-per-unit-of-energy, but ... as far as I can tell "compute per unit of ... volume"?
> There's tools like Heroic, Junk Store and Lutris that make it really really easy. The only exception is that there isn't AFAIK a way to use purchases from the Microsoft Store, but Epic, GOG, etc. are all fine assuming the game itself doesn't have some underlying issue.

But with Windows I don't need to do any of that - and that's my point. I don't need to install additional apps, configure workarounds or hacks.

I turn on my Legion Go, enter my Windows pin and then launch whatever game I want using the built in UI or Steam or Epic etc. Why would I complicate that?

> The individual had used the "Sign in with Facebook" option on the EU login webpage to register for a conference. The court, which hears actions taken against EU institutions, found that this transfer of the user's IP address to Meta Platforms in the U.S. violated EU data protection rules.

Which means he already had a Facebook account, so this is only about his IP being given to Meta one time. 400€ per case for this violation seems pretty reasonable.
At least they’re consistent? I don’t know seems like folks in the EU would be better off spending time innovating on product and technology. It’s fine to regulate but to make that your only contribution is not fine imo.
Agree. The Steam Deck user experience it’s clearly superior compared to full blown windows. It’s going to be an interesting “battle”.

I don't have my home email on work devices. I also don't have my email on my gaming PC (I agree this must be rarer). I don't have all of my work emails on my personal devices either. So now when I log in I need to DM myself links over Slack, or forward emails around...
In Judo and gymnastics you're generally also traveling slower. Judo falls are also from a lower height and generally under control (just not yours, heh).
Breaking a key isn't criminal. It's just math. Sending emails that would constitute fraud or a violation of another jurisdictional law, relying on that math, is illegal. But again -- it's not the math, it's the action and intent.

Pointing out that someone is doing something stupid is also not illegal, though they make try to make your life painful for doing so.
It looks riskier than football - the article compared armature football in the US (the entire country) to just BC and find mountain biking worse. Football is not a safe sport (though they use a lot of safety gear in all the organized versions). BC is where people into mountain biking travel to so I'm not sure how much the BC stats are comparing the world.

The reason censorship is generally undesirable is because it assumes the person doing the censoring is always correct, and that they're infallible perfect arbiters of truth incapable of letting their political motivations dictate their censorship decisions...which is of course false. They're very often wrong, and always make decisions based on their political leanings, even when it contradicts the evidence.
That I don’t have a general answer for. Except for the year before last, it’s been responding to recruiters that reached out to me.

The year before last when I did do targeted outreach, it was because I both had relevant experience in a niche AWS service and I was a major contributor to an open source official “AWS Solution” while I was at AWS that was popular in that niche.

But that trick had a very small window.

So I guess the answer is do something that allows you to stand out from the crowd and then you can do prior outreach and tell them why they should hire you over someone else.

My biggest piece of advice is don’t be a “ticket taker”. Volunteer to lead larger initiatives.
Why write so much about a problem nobody have? Just be normal for fuck sake.
Something like Chamonix, France for many other extreme summer & winter mountain sports (downhill MTB including) then.

People keep dying 'en masse' there, long term average is 60 per year in Mont Blanc range alone, but this includes all activities so heart attack during pleasant walk is there too. They compare it to whole US rockies in terms of mortality, not sure if it still holds. If folks focused purely on statistics whole place would be banned ad infinum due to world's easiest access to extreme terrain, luckily French folks have a different attitude to risks in what they consider 'noble' activities (which covers most mountain stuff).

I almost contributed to stats there last year too with my medium severity paraglider landing crash (both legs broken but missed massive rock by few cms which would end up much more severe).
As mentioned in the article, the key's no longer available and I presume the article has been released only after responsible disclosure was done and with the approval of the key owner (hope so). At this point, it's not more unethical than any other security research performed in the same conditions and with the same outcome.
The top million domains are more likely to be on top of their security than less prominent domains. 0.2% is therefore a fairly strict lower bound for the overall internet.
