Maybe it's because I'm in a shitty location (Spain), but these gaming streaming services never felt good enough for me. I've tried a bunch of them (including GeForce Now and more recently, the PlayStation streaming thingy) and they all introduce too much latency + now the quality of the screen suffer from the same type of quality degradation as YouTube, which just looks fucking horrible. I'd rather play on lowest quality settings and lowest resolution than having to view that sort of compromise on image quality.

> And a lot easier than managing Proton and WINE too

I can understand wanting to avoid having to manage Wine, prefixes and all that jazz. But Steam + Proton is literally zero management. You install Steam, start it, install the game and hit "Play", the only Proton thing you notice is that it download and installs it before the actual game runs. Otherwise there is nothing you have to do as a user.
Obviously it’s not initially remotely a plug and play solution but if you install Steam under Game Porting Toolkit you actually can take advantage of Proton and its improvements much of the time, and after the initial setup there’s very little further tinkering needed.
There is no longitudinal effect on "bonding". You are speaking like a religious zealot.
Most of the time

- all input ports are blocked. Kinda provides security. Works fine as if things are so dire most academia would be hacked.

- these are not valuable like data from SSN or bank. So fewer attacks.

- if something gets f*ked - it gets bad name - people laugh it off. No one will get fired.

I know uni presidents that keep passwords on excel sheets. Life is like that.

Let's be honest corporate says training, retraining, testing - IT will install 3 different malware scanners and 2 AV to HOG CPU etc but some idiot will approve MFA/TOTP (okta) or like solarwinds. So everyone has their stupidity.
Pretty much just the UI. SteamOS is better suited for handhelds and TV screens and wherever you don't want a full desktop experience, just a game launcher.

I studied computer science over a decade ago. What I learnt at the university was: 1) perseverance. I wanted to learn about writing programs and OS and hardware… but I had to first pass all the mathematical lectures. It wasn’t easy. 2) How to learn. I feel like I can learn any topic nowadays, And pretty much I have been doing this over all my career. I didn’t learn about Kafka or K8s or Go in the uni, but I learnt the fundamentals and got a grasp on how to learn new things. Invaluable I would say. 3) How to deal with people I don’t like. I didn’t like many professors but I had to pass the lectures the way they want it. Same for my professional career.

I pretty much study every week to keep up with the industry, but I like it, so it feels more like a hobby. I’m not sure I would have the same strength and perseverance if I had quit uni the first year (or if I had never attended uni). This is just me, so YMMV.

If any, I feel like primary and high school are the real “scams”. I think they waste so much time over and over the same topics without going deep into nothing. I think it could be cut by 30% without any repercussions. I don’t recall anything valuable I have learnt in school (all the great lessons were due to my parents)
The safety reasons are real though: when linesmen need to do work on the grid, it has to be depowered. This used to be easy to accomplish: just make sure the line is switched off from at the substation and you can be reasonably certain that the line is safe to work on. If Joe Random decides to send his solar power directly into the depowered grid, that would be a Bad Time for the worker involved.

"Protectionist reasons" sounds nice to people who already hate big corporations, but it doesn't make a lot of sense. When the grid is down, it's down. There is no revenue to protect at that point. The actual thing they might want to protect against is big solar farms competing away revenue from fossil fuel plants, but as you'll notice such solar farms are entirely legal.

The other disconnect is that the employers are trying to fill positions at a certain price point which is usually much lower than most people will accept. Asking why we can't just take those positions when desperate is basically asking why you can't work for significantly less than you have been making for the past 10 years. People have houses and families to support. In some places those jobs pay so little that you can barely make rent with roommates. They exist solely to prove there aren't any qualified US workers for H1B purposes.

A lot of really good people can be had in certain US states if you're willing to pay them a lot of money relative to their local market. I've gotten several applications from some pretty overqualified people simply because the pay for the associate position is higher than their local employers are offering for mid-level people. If you then turn that around, it suggests that some of these employers struggle to fill positions because they actually have to compete on the nation-wide market for people.
In this economy, I wouldn’t judge anyone who takes an offer at Meta if it means they can secure a home and a financial future for themselves. That’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for most people.

I have worked in all kinds of fields and you might be surprised to hear that the most openly psychopathic leadership I have ever experienced was in EDU

Meta may draw a certain type of person, but let’s not kid ourselves that they have a uniquely terrible culture. Just maybe one of the more influential.

This is excellent! Question: How does the tracking handle private relays (like iCloud Private Relay)?
Correct.

Moreover, you actually need to count mostly only the protein intake, because when your food does not have enough calories that becomes obvious, because you lose weight.

Obtaining enough calories for a day requires spending only a small fraction of a dollar per day, for buying enough wheat flour or corn flour.

When you attempt to minimize the cost of food, most of the money will go for ensuring an adequate amount of protein, with an acceptable amino acid profile, and also for ensuring adequate amounts of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.

Ensuring enough calories is by far the easiest part.
What evidence is there for this claim?
Ask HN: Keystroke biometrics in various web-based LLM UIs?
Using PerplexityAI through the web UI, there is significant latency between keystrokes and text manifestation in the prompt field. Is this merely overly aggressive next-word prediction, or is there plausibly typing/keyboard biometrics being captured and used for xyz purposes?

If not, why not? If so, what is being done with the data and what methods beyond resisting canvasing are viable to prevent this?

Also, is there any known, effective OS software, that can securely act between keystrokes and the system to mitigate this?
It's also my (unproven) theory that combat sports are a lot safer than other intense sports.

For one, your partner tries to hit you but you are trained to defend yourself so most of the time you block/avoid the hits or at least do something to attenuate them.

Two, you wear protection in some of these sports.

And three, the philosophy of martial arts at least emphasises self control and you'll try to not hit as hard when your partner fails to block.

Competitions are another thing maybe, but who needs competitions...
It's my computer. I am the god of this machine. If something happens, it's because I will it. I get to read and write arbitrary memory if I want to. It's offensive to me that they even think I shouldn't have this power. Couldn't care less what their reasons are.

Cheating? I don't care enough about most games to even consider it. I absolutely do consider it to be my prerogative, however. If they don't like it, they better run their "anticheat" nonsense on their computers, where it belongs. If they try to usurp control of my computer, I will do everything in my power to stop it.

This is gonna turn into yet another example of illegitimate customers enjoying a superior product while paying customers get treated like dishonest criminals. Legitimate customers get DRM and anticheat rootkits, pirates and cheaters get none of that. Guess which side I want to be on?
Well the inverters with which these solar systems work switch off within milliseconds when grid power goes down, so the problem you correctly identified is taken care of. There are also multiple redundant components to ensure this behavior.

Yes. And games are built as multi platform so they don’t want to tie themselves tightly to the XBOX ecosystem. But the UIs for that enrollment are almost always horrible. You can tell they are designed for PCs with keyboards and mice. The scaling is all wrong for a TV based interface.
That's only rated good to 5 μV, according to the datasheet. You'd probably be better off with a non-auto-zero LM324B, whose worst-case Vos is rated at 3 μV IIRC. Of course it didn't exist at the time (01989) which is why National made the LMC669.

But the potential advantage that building a chopper (or auto-zero) out of ordinary opamps would be that you don't need to source, order, and await specialized chips. A long-discontinued bolt-on auto-zero for a regular opamp has almost all the disadvantages of just buying an auto-zero opamp.

Legion Go owner here. I bought a "Windows gaming" device specifically because I have a library of games that spans across multiple vendors, not just Steam. Not only does my Legion Go have a decent "unified UI" for launching games, I can easily launch Steam in Big Picture mode. Touch on Windows 11 is surprisingly decent.

The only downside to all of these new portable gaming are the docks, and the living room experience. "HDMI out" usually works (depending on the game), but it's not as seamless as simply hitting power on your PS5/Xbox. I spend way too much time fiddling with graphics settings, and second/mirror/display issues.

You hit the nail on the head with the word 'Universal'.

Because email addresses have existed since the begining of the web, anyone who has ever been on the internet has one and uses it for identification purposes. This will not change without another universal standard which everybody automatically has.

Its like IPv4, we all have the ability to use IPv6 but do we? Hell no we just use NAT as its an easier quick fix.

Changing any addressing on the internet is tough because you always have to have backwards compatibilty, which kind of ruins the point of moving forward.

I'm fairly sure this is either untrue or unknowable. If the official "Harris campaign" spent more than the "Trump campaign" that doesn't actually mean much, considering how many other avenues exist to spend money that escape public scrutiny.

Even if you could account for all the dark money, that still leaves you with leveraging soft power - e.g. Musk using X as a de facto propaganda arm of the Republican party, which doesn't show up on any books.
There is an essay at the end of Orwell's 1984

https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks01/0100021.txt

called "The Principles of Newspeak" that coins the word.

The slogan "My Body My Choice" has some of this character. It rolls off the tongue and stops thought. There is no nuance: the rights of the mother are inalienable. Opponents will talk about the inalienable rights of the fetus. There is no room for compromise but setting some temporal point in the pregnancy is a compromise like Solomon's that makes sense to the disengaged but gives no satisfaction to people who see it as moral issue. [1]

Note that this phrase turned out to be content-free and perfectly portable when it got picked up by anti-vaccine activists.

"Illegal Alien" is a masterpiece of language engineering that stands on its own for effectiveness. I mean, we all follow laws that we don't agree with or live with the threat of arrest and imprisonment if we don't. It's easy to see somebody breaking the law and not getting caught as a threat to the legitimacy of the system. "Undocumented Migrant" has been introduced as an alternative but it just doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way and since it is not so entrenched it comes across more as language engineering.

(Practically as opposed to morally: Americans would rather work at Burger King rather than get a few more $ per hour to get up early for difficult and dirty work which might have you toiling in the hot or the cold. An American would see a farmhand job at a dairy farm as a dead end job. A Mexican is an experienced ag worker who might want to save up money to buy his own farm. Which one does the dairy farmer want to have handling his cows?)

in that teaching small children the alleged difference between two words will make a difference in the very difficult problems that (say) black [2] people have in America trivializes those problems. It trains them to become the kind of people who will trade memes online as opposed to facing those problems. In the meantime I've heard so many right wingers repetitively talk about "Equality of opportunity" vs "Equality of outcomes" which is a real point but reduces a complex and fraught problem to a single axis.

[1] There's a great discussion of this https://www.amazon.com/Rights-Talk-Impoverishment-Political-... although that book has a discussion of the Americans with Disabilities Act that hasn't aged well

[2] Bloomberg Businessweek has a policy to always say capital B when they talk about "Black" people. Do black people care? Does it really help them?

I 100% agree, I bought one to be able to play my library while my wife watches dramas on the TV, and I've been shocked as to how high the compatibility rate is these days.

What does EAs mean?
You're right, I forgot to even cover that part because I was focused on how annoying they are to me as a user, not necessarily as a service provider. I also forgot to mention how they train people to click on links, how my inbox now consists of dozens of emails per day telling me to either click to login, or warning me that I logged in.

I have my own domains for email so I haven't had the issue of someone else entering my email but I keep hearing from friends getting that.
I visited by Whistler, watched some of these guys, basically doing somersaults on mountain bikes on a pump track, going at high speed. So not surprising at all. Not exactly sure where I was. All I remember it was like meters away from nudist beach (nudist wooden dock, really). Which being immature dorks, we decided to dive off. But Whistler is kind of like Waikiki to Surfing. So might be sample bias. Most people don't take doing bike tricks that far. So its a thrill seeker place down there, that attracts a certain type of personality.

I love retro computing and have used retro systems for contemporary work. This said, the VIC 20 has a horrendous font that I couldn't handle even back in the day. I think DOS with the standard PC font is vastly superior for retro word processing (especially with WordPerfect!)
As is common with internet rants, this one goes too far. Words can totally make someone feel unsafe. If you email someone a death threat, that severely impacts that person's sense of safety. And since they don't know how likely you are to turn words into action, that sense of safety is exactly the same as their actual safety (since "safety" is an expression of risk).

I'd have found this a much stronger argument if the author hadn't dismissed words altogether. There's a huge gap between "I know where you live <address> and I'm going to set your house on fire while you sleep" and "I think there are only two genders", and I think the author only has the latter in mind. I think I'd disagree even then, but much less strongly.

The related rhyme, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words shall never hurt me" is similarly ridiculous. Words can totally hurt people. People have been driven to suicide, and to warfare, with words.

I agree with magic links being bad, but passkeys aren't the right solution for multiple devices either, because it requires sharing the account or password manager they're saved in between devices, and I'd rather keep my private accounts and passwords away from work devices. With plain old passwords, I can open my password manager on a trusted device and type the password into an untrusted one.
I'd guess it's more that it's easier to get to the top of the hill in the first place using an e-bike. Without an e-bike most casual riders might write the whole thing off as too much work. Once you start going downhill the motor won't really do anything.
