> There are 256 possible IO ports in x86

65,536 IO ports not 256. Not counting memory mapped IO ports whose number is only limited by the physical address space

> which afaik can be mapped arbitrarily by manufacturers

Pretty much, but some of the assignments IBM picked for the original IBM PC are a de facto standard. However, as newer machines lose more and more legacy peripherals and controllers, fewer and fewer of those original ports still exist. Thats said, the article mentions using the POST port (0x80) which is one of those original port numbers.
this year's scamming trend: crafting scams in a way that manipulates Apple Intelligence
I have a serious interest in emergency service budgets (in Western Australia, although personnel from here do travel to California to assist in our off season).

So.. cheers for the update and context, that does highlight a 'loss' of $7 million in training alocation from an over 800 million budget.

Do 'we' hold the state of California responsible here for allocating less overall, or the LA Fire Chief for perhaps not making the best use of what was allocated to them.

I'm an outsider and I'm avoiding throwing shade, just highlighting the complexity of budget issues.

If the blame goes to the state then attention should be paid to the page 6 water flow from revenue to expenditures - if Fire needs more then Police(?) must get less .. etc.

Tolerance of bad UI because of its usefulness (or if it is the only available option due to approval process and/or lack of competition) strikes me as a time-tested approach in enterprise environments. I dread to imagine that, but in real life. Is that how it is for people in the most populous country?
There's a lot more out there that we just haven't seen, probably in all directions. Hard to spot stuff that far out from the sun.

The analog for cardinal directions is the direction of Vernal Equinox — the line in the ecliptic plane (Earth's orbit) formed from the Earth to the Sun at the March equinox. (there's an indicator for this in the corner of the app). This is usually treated as +x, with rotations within the ecliptic given relative to this axis. Then there's ecliptic north and ecliptic south that define +z and -z as the normal vector to the ecliptic plane.

The burden of proof is not on me.

I have already gone above and beyond my obligation here. But what you say is not relevant, because I only seek to refute the claim that the files somehow demonstrate favourable treatment of conservatives. What Taibbi says about them, if anything, demonstrates the opposite.

>on the other hand, "no" is a perfectly fine answer to which you seem to refuse to be willing to say

This is just a condescending personal attack. A higher standard of discourse is expected on HN.

>but you're not even skimming

I read the link I gave you and it does not demonstrate anything that would evidence the original claim, while giving plenty of reason to doubt the original claim.

>and then making assumptions about what you think it wouldn't contain based upon your perception of wikipedia's politics

No. I surmised that Wikipedia, due to its politics, would have included such material if it existed, but does not include such material. This is reason to doubt the claim that such material exists, and therefore to reaffirm the demand for evidence.

>At least do your research if you want to play officer.

Again: the burden of proof is not and never was on me, and your rhetorical style is not in accord with my understanding of HN guidelines.

Zero Interest Rate Phenomenon

https://www.businessinsider.com/zirp-end-of-cushy-big-tech-j...
ZIRP == zero interest rate policy.
People can refinance when rates come down but who knows when that will be. The cost of the refinance can vary based upon the equity in your home and a few other factors. One of the most common things people do when they refinance at a lower rate is take all of the equity they can out of their home in order for home improvements or other such things. Debt consolidation into your mortgage is also a thing that people do. This is one of the reasons why you see the refinance fee being so high is because they're not simply refinancing the remaining amount to get a lower interest rate they're taking a reappraisal on the house so they can get an overall larger loan at a lower rate.

This is so outrageous that I have trouble believing it. If it's true, you need to immediately take this to the media.
On your post on LinkedIn, you said this:

> I was instructed to take down my demo site (and its handful of fake demo classes) or else they would begin the process that would culminate with my expulsion.

And now here, you say this:

> They followed up today to thank me for doing it, but also indicated that they were putting a hold on my account anyway. As a result, I am not going to be able to register for my final quarter and have been de facto expelled at the end of this quarter.

I don't think there's any reason to have faith that their leadership will make things right. It sounds like they've already moved the goalposts once, and there's no reason to trust that they wouldn't do it again later. They no longer deserve the presumption of good faith.

As an alternative to what the options here seem to be saying, I can't help but wonder if some other university might be more willing to work with you without having to go through all of the blackmail. If this is something that's actually valuable to UW, it probably would be valuable to others as well, and without the threat of expulsion, you might be able to get better terms from them; maybe someone here with a connection to a more open-minded university could help get the door open to making a more fair deal? If finishing your degree is important to you, and you still don't have any desire to make a business out of this, maybe some form of scholarship in return for making a system for them for something like this? Alternately, if you do end up wanting to own the IP and monetize it in some way, you could try to rework the idea to be a service you sell to universities rather than offer for free to students. Even if you don't want to sell it, you could always offer it to universities for free with some terms that require attribution to you (and maybe also stipulate that no one is allowed to share the code with UW, since you deserve some compensation from them even if you don't want it from anyone else).

There’s no such thing as “going against evolution.” Vegetarianism is as much a valid part of evolution as any other behavior any animal exhibits.

I think if lions regularly bred into existence billions of antelope, confined and tortured them for the entirety of their existence, and then ate them, yes, a lot of people would view that as pretty evil, even while acknowledging such a creature is probably incapable of the moral calculus that (some) humans are.
Id be curious as well but really doubt AI could make much headway into a legacy codebase I recently spent some time on. There is tacit knowledge that AI cannot pick up on, many things are named wrong, there are patches and workarounds that barely make any sense, architecture inconsistencies and transitions in style from 20 years ago to now. Maybe if there was some documentation and explanatory notes. Without needing to fill the gaps by simply asking the prompter for more information, im inclined to suspect the same old eagerness to bullshitting that LLMs have been programed in.

I work in gamedev, it's defacto Windows only.

Unreal Engine supports Linux/MacOS, Perforce supports Linux/MacOS.

So, you'd imagine that it would be fine.

Yet UGS (https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/...) and Playstation/Xbox development tools only work on Windows, and especially focus on Visual Studio (which also only works on Windows).

Things seem more complicated due to Visual Studio Code being cross-platform, and the fact that there's some extremely rudimentary support for consoles in Jetbrains tools, but there's no debugging support at all.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-07/bond-mark... | https://archive.today/TZeis

Mortgage rates are tied to US treasury rates (with a risk premium). The bond market is pricing an increased term premium into longer term US debt (which is getting unwieldy) as well as incoming admin inflationary policy (tariffs, tax cuts). This pushes up mortgage rates. This makes refinancing at lower rates infeasible for the foreseeable future, so if you’re going to buy, you have to be prepared to live with the payment for some time (which is driving down affordability and purchase transactions until sellers concede on price, which is a function of who must sell sooner than others, for whatever reason).

> After reading the article I didn’t pick up what any of the advantages are of 28hr days

Showing my age here but...

I and some of my friends/classmates used to do the 6day 28hr cycle, to ensure we had access to the computer lab where "normal people" were asleep during the week, but were still mostly "in phase" with everybody else on weekends for socialising.

For those of you who don't understand the term "computer lab", those were the days where my Comp Sci class involved writing/running Pascal code on a shared VAX-11/780 which (from memory here) shared 64MB of memory across all users of the 100 or so terminals attached to it. During the day, especially close to assignment deadlines, there were often long wait times to get one of the terminals. If you were there (and awake) at 10pm or 4am, there was usually only a handful of other people using it, with no waiting queues and with noticeably faster performance.

(When I started 2nd year, the first year class behind me still learned Pascal, but got to use the new Macintosh lab. That kinda made the 28hr phase shifting unnecessary, but a bunch of us persisted anyway. By 3rd year, the VAX was under-utilised enough that they added a bunch of modems, and I could connect from home via a 1200/75 baud modem from the Osbourne1 Z80/CPM machine I had at home.)

> we are very much trained to believe we shouldn’t anthropomorphise animals

We shouldn't anthropomorphize animals. Instead, the point here is that emotions are not anthropic; humans do not have a monopoly on emotions.

Which is to say, we should be sure not to think that "grief" means the same thing for an orca that it means to a human; yet naturally animals do grieve in their own ways. (Heck, "grief" doesn't even mean the same thing for all humans!)
After reading the article it kinda sounds like he just takes a lot more naps. Feels like cheating.
I would challenge what you’re saying. An integrated synthesizer like the Model D doesn’t make the normalled signal path apparent. On the other hand, modular forces you to see exactly what’s happening. You wire an oscillator to a filter. You wire the filter to the VCA. You trigger the VCA with a voltage envelope. You need a good teacher or tutorial, but if you have that, modular or virtual modular is a far better teaching tool IMO.

> why is there apparently no water in the fire hydrants?

They emptied the tanks fighting the fire.

From the article in the GP comment:

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power in a Wednesday press conference refuted claims, including those made by Caruso, that water tanks in Pacific Palisades weren’t fully filled ahead of the fire.

Departmental officials said the three tanks in the area were filled to capacity with around 1 million gallons of water each, but those supplies were tapped out by early Wednesday morning.

“We ran out of water and the first tank about 4:45pm yesterday, we ran out of water on the second tank about 8:30pm and the third tank about 3am this morning,” said Janisse Quiñones, CEO of LADWP.
> somehow infinitesimals allowed the giants like Newton & Lebnitz to work their way to some amazing results

I'm not that familiar with Leibnitz's work, but Newton understood calculus from many different angles. I heard this (probably apocryphal) saying by Feynman that you truly understand something if you understand it in three different ways.

Newton was like that with calculus, and he probably understood it in more than three ways. In particular he presented the world the theory of gravity using only geometry. Just take a look at [1], and see if you find anything that looks like limits, derivatives or integrals. You only see geometrical figures.

Newton was great at manipulating polynomials. He introduced what we call nowadays the "Newton-Raphson" method via an example of finding a root of a cubic polynomial. He never mentioned derivatives or tangents or slopes, or anything that we would now associate with calculus.

Of course, we know that Newton knew the binomial formula, some people wrongly think he invented it. What he did was that he generalized it to non-integer powers, so he could calculate the infinite series of things like sqrt(1+x) or sqrt(1-x^2). From here it doesn't take that long to derive the series for sine and cosine, especially if your name is Newton, and he did the arcsine and arctan for good measure too. (And from here he calculated many more digits of pi than anyone before him, by a good margin).

And Newton was intimately familiar with interpolation. Even today we have the concept of Newton interpolating polynomial [2]. Interpolation was indispensable in those times, even Briggs used it in his logarithmic tables which he published in 1617. Here's a quote from [3]: "Briggs’ quinquisection is actually a special case of Newton’s formula seen from a different vantage point". But "Newton was apparently unaware of Briggs’ work on finite differences and subtabulation".

Those can be described as IoT devices. They're more appropriately categorized as "consumer electronics" and often have a firmware update right out of the box. That's what makes this badging program an absurd idea with no meaningful outcome. This segment is not going to care.

This isn't "Energy Star" where the purchased product does not have additional functionality which can be exposed or exploited through software and no third party testing can be exhaustive enough to prevent the obvious exploit from occurring.

Even to the extent they can it then enforces a product design which cannot be upgraded or modified by the user under any circumstances. Worse the design frustrates the users ability to do their own verification of the device security.

It's a good idea applied to the wrong category of products and users.

Sure there's always going to be someone, but it's hard to attribute a specific figure for support cost to any given sale (you don't know about future support requirements, or for a subscription when do you account for support costs). This is why COGS usually doesn't include support. In the same way, marketing costs vary wildly per sale and are very hard to attribute, which is why marketing is usually not a part of the COGS.
