Wii U seems like it was a useful stepping stone to the Switch.

It is clear that the presentation doesn't really get it. There would be no iPhone mini. This WAS the iPhone mini.
It's a sad realization. When our culture only values profit as a measure of success there is a strong incentive to cut down costs (now) in exchange for quality (that will only be perceived in the future). It slowly moves down the threshold, bit by bit, until you suddenly realize how much we all lost for a few very rich people to become a little bit richer.
(I am still trying to work out if the 360 was named after the 360º ring of red on the power light that it so often would produce...)
Within QEMU amd64/x86 emulation (not KVM) mode, the IMUL opcode still fails its IMUL opcode emulation after an XOR opcode (also within the same TLB cached page) modified its neighbor IMUL operand(s).

TLB got double-invalidated yet some say never invalidated. The crux is a glitch within a singlr entire TLB invalidation operation thereby negating XOR opcode's ability to self-modify the neighboring IMUL operand. (Double ROT13, anyone?). I assert double-invalidation because within the same TLB invalidation stroke, XOR operation got performed ... twice, as opposed to retrieving and restoring original IMUL operand value after such invalidation thereby negating XOR computed result EITHER WAY.

A failure of self-modifying code within QEMU amd64/x86 emulation mode could be a useful test to determine if one is under QEMU emulation mode, of course if the page allows read-write-execute as often found in JavaScript, Java, Python and Dalvik (Android) bytecode memory regions.

Fabrice Bellard, author of QEMU, acknowledged the basic of above but failed amd64/x86 IMUL/XOR self-modify premise in emulation (not KVM) mode of QEMU.

The Switch wouldn't exist if they hadn't first experimented with that form factor with the Wii U. The innovation and risk of the Wii U paid off for them in the long run.
I could name a dozen Arab leaders who were assassinated by Arabs for expressing interests in making peace with Israel. If we start looking them up I wager we'll get to two dozen.

I was expecting sort of the opposite, for Nokia to deride the whole iPhone thing. But it was quite the opposite, they understand what they were facing. Ultimately, the could not meet the challenge fast enough.
Switch 2? Switch to what?
Administrative detention is functionally the same as hostage taking and we should call it as such. Just because an Israeli "court" puts a stamp on it doesn't make it any different.
Facebook never paid any reparations for the Rohingya genocide, and that was a genocide organized on their platform.

> Then, crack the whip on domestic telcos, ISPs and hosters. Whoever hosts anything connected with more than 200 users has to have a 24/7/365 abuse hotline that has the manpower and authority to investigate abuse claims and remediate them (i.e. disconnect whoever is causing the problem until this party has remediated the issue on their end) in less than four hours.

I think this makes small-scale hosting unaffordable. It would probably cost circa $150k to staff that hotline, which is then the lower bound on labor cost for the provider. That implies a $750/yr bill to each of those 200 customers before technical costs.
Go look into the design standards used in The Netherlands.

https://international.fhwa.dot.gov/pubs/pl18004/chap03.cfm gives a decent overview of some of those things. They are much better for end users because someone over there cared. Whomever designed the ones in the article clearly does not.
I don't like the aesthetic as much as the Switch 1. Looks a little too sleek, too monochrome, not Nintendo-y enough. Other than the splash of color around the thumbsticks it looks like any number of those handheld Steam Deck-alikes that have been coming out.

That said I always wait for the special Zelda editions of Nintendo's consoles, so I don't know that I have standing to complain.
Some part of this doesn't make sense. He couldn't leave from Gaza or Egypt? Why would he have needed Israel's permission?
Here in the grim darkness of the future, every install of a general-purpose OS better be shipping with at least one font (or collection of fonts that operate via glyph fallback) to cover every Unicode codepoint for every language that isn't extinct yet. (In other words, apps that expect to be used with any arbitrary language, including browsers, should not be forced to ship with a font just to ensure basic coverage).

And then, once you have that system-provided codepoint coverage, you can make your font parametric in order to avoid needing to ship multiple copies of the font for different styles. It's not a perfect solution, but it's still pretty acceptable given the constraints.
Look at it again without the knowledge of the last 18 years! And from the position of a Nokia employee back then. This is an extremely well made executive summary for that time.
It's a 120 year old feud, quite a lot, and even with a one sided extremist view such as your own I would at least hope anti semitism, pogroms, the holocaust and the right for self determination would make you see there's at least a bit of complexity here.

Also - even if this take was true , what's your end game - all states based on past colonialism need to be abolished ? Or is that the right solution only for Israel. E.g if Mexico starts bombing the U.S to get back Mexico, parts of Texas etc, we should all support them right?

RuntimeDYLD is legacy, you might want to switch Postgres to use JITLink instead: https://llvm.org/docs/JITLink.html
I like TST. We use it in our code (FP'ish Kotlin).

But I also like stack traces, as they show me call-stack to the point the error happened. Something TST does not always show: different call-stacks can result in the same (or very similar) TST-stack.

Super prescient analysis, kind of ironically.

Maybe. The article also asserts their data, where available, is often also wrong. See the section titled "Cross checking with hospital data".
What say did the Yemenite civilians have in the Saudi lead aggression.

What say did the Syrian civilians have in the civil war.

What say did the Iraqi civilians have in the U.S. lead war.

What say did the Ukrainian and Russian civilians have in their war.

Your remark comes off as there should never be a war again period. The Palestinian people voted Hamas in AND were polled in majority support. Beyond Hamas the general Palestinian civilians also had those helping Hamas, supporting Hamas, and over 60-80% viewings Hamas’s actions as just.

I know you're joking but technically it does have AI, the SOC is built on Nvidia's Ampere architecture with tensor cores. If nothing else they'll probably be used for DLSS upscaling.
A few details are quite different from 8, notably the boost and character animations, it's definitely a new game.

Marketing will be difficult, MK8 already peaked graphically and has 96 tracks, and will still work on Switch 2. I hope they'll find real selling points for MK9.

So you call all wars “collective punishment”?
To my mind the key insight from the presentation is this sentence:

“The 1% volume share target could translate into 4% value share, taking ~ 30% share of the >300 € price Band”

That’s Apple’s superpower in a nutshell - get the majority of the profit in the market, while everyone else battles each over over market share (and earn low margins in the process).
Probably right about the "booky"-ness. Sadly I really like the older sizes much better, but very little is published in that "form factor".

Show HN: Triplit, a new daily word game
My partner and I built a daily word game that has elements of the Mini Crossword, Wordle, and Spelling Bee, with some twists all its own.

I’ve been fairly obsessed with the New York Times crossword puzzle ever since I saw the documentary Wordplay about 12 years ago. I started with Mondays and gradually made my way up to Saturdays, and when I began to appreciate the puzzles as aesthetic objects worthy of appreciation and criticism (rather than just a slog to survive and then brag about), I began to wonder what it would be like to create puzzles. But making full crossword puzzles was always very daunting to me.

Luckily, my partner got an idea for a new word game while on vacation in Italy over-caffeinated on espresso, and boom! Triplit was born.

We feel that after the smashing success of Wordle, the time is ripe for a new quick daily word game. To us, Triplit combines the playful, at times cryptic clueing of crosswords with the mental manipulation of Spelling Bee and the feedback and scoring system of Wordle. It also introduces the concept of random clue order, so unlike a crossword you don’t know which clue applies to which answer. And Triplit also has multiple difficulty level settings to make it fun for a variety of players.

It has been so fun to build and iterate on! We have more features and improvements planned. We hope you enjoy playing, and would love to hear your feedback. And yes, we know there is a Triplit database, and we mean no disrespect to them :)
I had one of those. It was interesting in that it ran Linux and you could (at the time) browse most web sites with it. Otherwise, it was slow, bulky, and had a pretty terrible resistive touch screen. (The stylus was NOT optional.) And you still had to carry your flip phone in another pocket.

In the end I was mainly using mine to listen to podcasts (before they were called that). An iPod Touch eventually replaced it until Android phones got a lot better.
The Wii was a huge success and the Wii U was a step toward the Switch, which combines the best of both of those consoles.
How is this different than the Muslims currently pouring into Europe today? Whatever happened to "refugees welcome"?

It should be noted in context that in 1856 the Ottomans, after their war with Prussia, actively invited all peoples - not only Muslims - to come and settle the sparsely populated Holy Land specifically in order to collect more taxes. Jews and Arabs happily took up the offer. The last Jerusalem census to show a Muslim majority in that city was 1876, and the 50 years preceding it were neck and neck for Jews and Arabs majority.
I only know x86/64, but I assume most page table caching would be somewhat similar.

Basically, if you don't handle the TLB properly, the CPU will not know that page mappings and/or page permissions have changed. So if you had a page mapped RW, and then changed the mapping to a RO page (such as setting up COW), but failed to flush the TLB (or at least call INVLPG to flush the entry), the CPU might use those stale permissions and grant write access on that page when it shouldn't. The same could happen for changing a region of the VA space to use a different physical page, where the next bit of code would hit the old page (and who knows what state it might be in or what it could be being used for).

The TLB is not super-complicated, but it has some quirks (it's been so long since I've done anything with it, the PCID handling rules were new to me; didn't even support it back when).
> The Israeli security narrative is not hysteria

"Settlements is security" is in fact a restraint on Palestinian part, while settlers/govt/IDF continue to ramp up the ante.

This article examines the choice made by the Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since October 7, 2023, not to rise against the increasing oppression by the Israeli settlers, military, and government.

This choice, to which the Israeli public and professional discourse appears to be completely blind, is particularly surprising against the backdrop of the dramatic events of the past year.

> Jews in Israel either, they have by and large not committed to a terrorism campaign

Now that they rule the land, they don't. There's no need for "terrorism" as "militarism" has long replaced it. Back in the day, Irgun/Lehi, by all measures, were every bit Fascist terrorists themselves: https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/terror-o...

The Wii was on the of the best selling consoles of all time? I believe only surpassed by the PS2.

Is the gimmicky a personal opinion or something you believe didn’t resonate with customers?
This PDF does not read like "this is fine". I find the initial analysis in here to be on point. Of course it does not print "we are doomed" in bold letters on the front page, but management should have taken the points raised in this presentation very seriously. Do you know if Nokia appointed a "head of UI e.g. not tied to BG or platform" back then?
cloud gaming has given me this same revelation. It's as portable as a Switch but the gaming experience isn't limited by the hardware in hand. Connectivity is important for the experience, though.
> For any cases where there is solid evidence, i hope the perpetrators face appropriate justice.

Yeah, you are trying to make it sound as if these are isolated incidents. There is plenty of evidence that this was a systematic campaign of extermination, this is why the ICC is seeking arrests for Israel's leadership.
A set of individuals being broadly correct in their analysis at an organization doesn't mean that that organization will be able to execute a pivot, even if that organization is pretty competent.

When an entire organization is built around executing on one local maxima hypothesis well, and there's no tangible threat to it that most individuals feel, it is hard for that org to take the temporary hit to change tacks.

Online Brand Protection: Why Businesses Must Prioritize Their Digital Reputation
In today’s hyper-connected world, a company’s reputation can be built — or damaged — in the blink of an eye. As businesses increasingly move their operations online, protecting their digital reputation has become essential. Online brand protection is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for businesses that want to protect their name, their revenue, and the trust of their customers.
True, but I think they still wanted the U to actually sell better than it did. It was a case of too much innovation too soon, IMO — having an alternating "evolution/revolution" cycle makes a lot of sense.
I remember how fun it was to use that in Wii based Metroid Prime games. Hoping they return this feature in creative ways!
There is an international perspective on the borders that I think should be mentioned. I think it is also worth mentioning that most people who live now in West Bank and the broader Palestine area were not consulted in how power and might is distributed, whether they benefit or suffer from it.

Should they?
The design changes showcased in the video are definitely a welcome improvement. As someone who owns both a Steam Deck and an OLED Switch, I find the Switch to be a bit too small for my hands, while the Steam Deck feels slightly large and bulky. Could the Switch 2 strike the perfect balance between the two?
I'm not sure if this helps makes things clearer, but see this diagram for symbols in Quadrature Amplitude Modulation [1]. The valid symbols are mapped to certain points in the vector space. Now, imagine non-overlapping circles around each symbol. If a received signal falls within a circle, it would be mapped to that symbol in the centre of the circle.

This can be extended to 3-D or higher dimension spaces.

Ask HN: What's going to happen when they fail to deliver AGI in 5 years time?
Why is every CEO predicting AGI in the next 2 to 5 years? I get the need to market yourself to the world, but this seems a bit much in terms of embellishments.

Don't get me wrong. I fully believe in the potential of current-gen AI. I am myself employed in the field. But to me it seems pretty obvious that these models are for the most part just memorizing and interpolating at huge scales with limited generalizability. I just don't see how we can go from current-gen to AGI without a huge paradigm shift. But in the statements made by these CEOs it is implied that this is not necessary.

I just don't get what sort of strategy they are following. Wouldn't these embellishments eventually come to haunt them when their promises are not realized? This seems to be Tesla FSD all over again. Then too it was claimed that only scale was necessary to achieved the objective.

Does anyone have a good sense for the actual purpose of reusing rockets?

Call me skeptical of the actual cost savings. You now need systems in place to catch them, the rockets need more components and fuel and such to control descent, the rocket then need to be refurbished back to launch-ready after going through hellacious stress. It seems like it’d be cheaper, lighter, and simpler on the whole to just make a new one. But I would love to learn more.
Yes, Ashburn is running out of space, so the data center industry is spreading into western Fairfax and northern Prince William Counties (neighboring areas, and PWC particular has lots of infill space available).

That's a link to Ashburn on Google Maps. Every large commercial building in the cluster north of Dulles Airport is a data center (slightly hyperbolic, but drive through and it's a pretty dystopian sight - just one giant windowless concrete box after another).

N9 was very close to launch when Elop came, so that went ahead, but the rest of the development got cancelled immediately to focus on Windows phone: N9 would've otherwise been the first in a series of devices to slowly take over from Symbian.

Until Elop canceled everything Symbian was still selling - declining sales, but still millions of units. So while the situation was bad slowly phasing out Symbian for taking all the money you could make with that, while hoping N9 software stack sticks sounded like a more sensible approach than "cancel everything, go for Windows". Elop did respond to criticism from Developers (including a mail I've sent him with colleagues), but had made up his mind.

This blog post is a byproduct of that discussion, and was referenced by Felipe in internal mailing lists back then:

https://felipec.wordpress.com/2011/02/22/meego-scales-becaus...

I have no idea how successfull it'd have been in the end - the UI was great, parts of the softwarestack were problematic (though we've been doing quite well with parts of that at Jolla later on). The planned hardware for the future models was less than ideal, though.
