For two reasons, both related to the Principle of Least Astonishment:
* Because the likelihood that someone entering `echo --help` _actually_ wants to print `--help` is staggeringly low
* Because it's not the "single solitary string" that has special handling - `echo -n` does not print `-n`. `echo` already supports flags, and so it would be most-consistent and least-surprising for it to also support a standard default one

It's a good but hard question... Because cellular is huge.

In a professional context, nobody knows it all in details. There are specializations: core network and RAN, and inside RAN protocol stack vs PHY, and in PHY algos vs implementation, etc.

You can see all the cellular specs (they're public) from there:
https://www.3gpp.org/specifications-technologies/specificati...

5G (or NR) is the series 38 at the bottom. Direct access:
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/38_series

It's a lot ;) But a readable introduction is the 38.300 spec, and the latest edition for the first 5G release (R15, or "f") is this one:
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/38_series/38.300/3830...

It's about as readable as it can get. The PHY part is pretty awful by comparison. If you have a PHY interest, you'll need to look for technical books as the specs are quite hermetic (but it's not my field either).
Ask HN: I feel stuck even though my startup is doing well. What should I do?
I've been running my startup solo for the past 3 years, and it's been growing steadily.

It's a B2C SaaS with about 15,000 paying users, $2.4M in yearly revenue, and I'm paying myself $90K per month at the moment. I feel lucky to have been able to take it thus far.

This being said, I feel totally exhausted and I can't manage to work on my product at the moment; I keep hitting analysis paralysis.

I can't even take proper time off or travel and not think about my startup, monitoring sign ups/revenue and growth and making sure it doesn't all come crashing down somehow.

At the same time, it's impossible for me to work on new, exciting projects, because I want to keep my eyes on the ball (but I wish I could). All in all, I feel stuck.

I end up consuming social media, X/Twitter and YouTube all day as a way to pass the time.

How do I break out of this?

PS: throwaway account.
Aside from this being a great article with lots of interesting details, it's also a rare example of a headline that does NOT follow "Betteridge's law of headlines"
Congratulations on the book drop!

So I'm not sure if you read my piece or just wanted to drop a promotion, but I think you're misrepresenting my view here. I'm not advocating for "art for the sake of art" and I certainly don't think you should not know your audience.

My main point is that I don't think all of data viz is as simple as you're implying here, i.e. that a pretty chart probably won't "resonate" or that a chart from the Tufte school of thought automatically will.
And private companies don't even have to be vulnerable, they can just do nasty things nilly willy, because it might be profitable and they might get away with it. Yeah, there could be ones that don't suck, and then customers could pick those, but when there aren't, when they all collude to be equally shitty and raise prices whenever they can -- which they do -- people have no recourse. They do have recourse when it comes to the government.

And for some things it's just too much duplicated effort and wasted resources, T-shirts are one thing, because we don't really need those, but train lines and utilities etc. are another. I can't tell you where the "boundary" is, but if every electric company had to lay their own cables, there would only be one or two.

And in the opinion of many including mine, for example the Deutsche Bundesbahn got worse when it got privatized. They kinda exploited the fact that after reunification, there were two state railroad systems obviously, and instead of merging them into one state railroad system, it was privatized, but because it made more money for some, but not because it benefits the public, the customers. Of course the reasoning was the usual neoliberal spiel, "saving money" and "smaller government" but then that money just ends up not really making things better to the degree privatization made them worse.

Obviously not everything should be state run, far from it. But privatizing everything is a cure actually even worse than the disease, since state-run sinks and swims with how much say the people have, whereas a 100% privatized world just sinks into the abyss.

Thanks for your thoughts! I do adore Fresh. In fact, I have run production projects on Next.js and Remix, and played around with Deno Fresh, and I enjoy them in different ways.

When I wrote "no build", I simply meant that we do not bundle the whole app into a single file.

Fresh is indeed very close to what I'm trying to explore here, yet if I understand correctly about Fresh, we still need a real build step: https://fresh.deno.dev/docs/concepts/server-configuration#-b...

Disclaimer: I have nothing against build steps, I just wish to explore an alternative approach where we completely do without them!
Is anyone actually implementing the concept of checking hashes with trusted builders? This is all wasted effort if that isn't needed.

I've seen it pointed out (by mjg59, perhaps?) that if you have a trusted builder, why don't you just use their build? That seems to be the actual model in practice.

Reproducibility seems only to be useful if you have a pool of mostly trustworthy builders and somehow want to build a consensus out of that. Which I suppose is useful for a distributed community but does seem like a stretch for the amount of work going in to reproducible builds.
This is kind of a weird announcement, as AppleTV+ has worked on an Android TV (either embedded in a TV, or with a separate box like the nVidia Shield) for a few years now.

The figure already includes the lifetime energy consumption and it's comparatively insignificant. The calculation even includes expected disposal and recycling!

It sounded really comprehensive besides having to make assumptions about standard usage patterns, but then the usage is like 10% of the lifetime emissions so it makes a comparatively small difference if I'm a heavy gamer or leave it to sit and collect dust: 90% remains the same

It literally affects everyone I'm afraid and simply not knowing about it (until now) doesn't stop warming either. Yes, this concerns everyone, although not everyone has the means to do something about it (like to buy the cleaner product)

That's because their car has badly designed and implemented climate control.

I do that in my current car because it has crap climate control, Tesla S 70D. In my previous car I set it when I bought the car and adjusted it perhaps once a year, Rover 75 Connoisseur.
Punish them severely when detected? Nice plan. What if they aren't in your jurisdiction? Are you going to punish them severely when they're in China? North Korea? Somalia? Good luck with that.

I haven't tried it out, I'm afraid (mostly due to time availability). I can say that I think the use of this tool is somewhat limited for the real-world. It is, in some sense, a steganography (the art and study of hiding a secret in undetectable ways, “in plain sight”) tool, but given that the resultant image (the “covertext” in steganography jargon) is semi-obviously noise (rather than some innocuous image), it's going to stand out to anyone hunting for secrets.

[Edit to add:] There is, however, a use-case that is still valid and worth considering: using this tool to communicate messages over a “carrier signal.” I.e., if there's a place where you want to store or transmit a message, but that message is in a format that is not accepted by the channel, but PNGs are allowed, you may be able to use this tool to encode arbitrary information into PNGs such that your message can still be transmitted. However, this is a pretty limited use-case, and is very easily detected.

There are also some niceties missing that I have come to expect from command-line UX (e.g., standardized getopt-style argument handling, terminal-size awareness, etc.) which are things you pick up and start to value as you spend more time in the CLI.

Also, if you want to dive into some of the encryption and security-related work, I'd suggest starting with the excellent CryptoPals challenges [0] (a XOR cipher is one of the first things you build and then break :P).

All the best,

I missed this earlier, not sure if you’ll even see it, but just know that your story hit home for me. I got a job out of college at #BigTech and gained a lot of momentum quickly, they were gonna promote me and threw money at me, but I realized what I was starting to specialize in was utterly useless outside this particular company. With the advice of a mentor I left money on the table and jumped ship to work at a start up, in part because I wanted to learn skills I could use at any company. I’m lucky I got this advice, but no question you’ll find another opportunity if need be
Engineering humans strikes me as something different than engineering weapons systems. Maybe as evidence, my cousin works in the field for one of the major defense contractors. Please trust that there are already thousands of engineers working on these problems in the US. Almost certainly hundreds of thousands more world-wide. This is definitely not a genie you put back in the bottle. AI clone wars sound "sci-fi" -- they are decidedly now just "sci."

+1 to this, my mom died because of COVID in India 1 months after she left US after visiting me, and I still feel guilty that I didnt insist on getting her the vaccine before she left for India, and then at the time of her death India was locked down so no flights and I wasn't even next to her. It's been 4 years but every so often I think about this. I blame myself less now after some therapy, but If you didn't try all that you could you'd probably feel guilty like me.
SRV records do this.

hosts file (the hosts NSS database) does not speak DNS.

however I guess this line of thought comes from that web developers want a number of *.dev.myproject.net domain names to use in URLs and handle by different web listener processes. why don't just run a nginx as reverse proxy for all of your *.dev.myproject.net domains? update your port number ↔ domain name in nginx config; reload is quite cheap.
On average, group 1 underreported their intake by 47% (with one standard deviation being the range of 31-66%).

They also overreported their physical intake by an average of 51% (with one standard deviation being a range of -24% to 126% overreporting).
As the sibling comment has mentioned Unicode in DNS uses a punycode encoding but even further then that the standard specifies that the Unicode data must be normalized to NFC[0] before being converted to punycode. This means that your second example (decomposed e with combining acute accent vs the composed variant) is not a valid concern. The Cyrillic one is however.

The fine print does say:

> During congestion, customers on this plan may notice speeds lower than other customers and further reduction if using >1.2TB/mo., due to data prioritization

So not really a cap, but a deprioritization. A few friends using it around me routinely use >2TB/mo and haven't experienced degradation, I guess there's not excessive congestion. YMMV.
> > it will not block a query

> This is good though?

The opinion spectrum on AI seems to currently be [more safe] <---> [more willing to attempt to comply with any user query].

Consider as a hypothetical the query "synthesise a completely custom RNA sequence for a virus that makes ${specific minority} go blind".

A *competent* AI that complies with this, isn't safe to give to open source to the general public, because someone will use it like this — even putting it behind an API without giving out model weights is a huge risk, because people keep finding ways to get past filters.

An *incompetent* model might be safe just because it won't produce an effective RNA sequence — based on what they're like with code, I think current models probably aren't sufficiently competent for that, but I don't know how far away "sufficiently competent" is.

So: safe *or* open — can't have both, at least not forever.

(Annoyingly, there's also a strong argument that quite a bit of the recent work on making AI interpretable and investigating safety issues required open models, so we may also be unable to have safe closed systems as well as being unable to have safe open systems).
So many things wrong with this. Reminds me of the Objective-c vs Swift arguments from back in the day. The author mentions the initial release, as someone who held out migrating production apps to Swift until v3 I think we all know early adoption is going to be bumpy.

But as of iOS 15+ SwiftUI is very production ready. I’ve migrated two production applications from UIKit to SwiftUI. These have active users and are available on the App Store.

Bloated? The last migration resulted in 79k new lines of code written and 181k deletions after rewriting 80% of the application.

Photos album works out of the box. If you mean camera then there are some issues depending on your use case. Beauty of SwiftUI is we can wrap UIKit views and interop allowing it to play nicely with other frameworks.

If you’re supporting applications that target the last few iOS versions it’s time to learn the new paradigm. Do yourself a favor but most of all anyone who might inherit your codebase.
John C Lilly had a concept called the "bad program" that was like an internal, natural, subconscious antithetical force that lives in us all. It seduces or lures the individual into harming themselves one way or another - in his case it "tricked" him into taking a vitamin injection improperly, leading to a stroke, even though he knew how to administer the shot expertly.

At some level, there's a disaster-seeking function inside us all acting as an evolutionary propellant.

You might make an argument that "AI" is an evolutionary embodiment of our conscious minds that's designed to escape these more subconscious trappings.
> I do argue that

Well, you're wrong. What's worse, the followup by vos Savant clarified this.

> In probability theory you can't assume independence of two random variables unless it's a part of the problem statement

In most logic puzzles you can safely assume an interpretation of the problem that makes sense and which doesn't go into extraneous tangents. Going "well, akshually, if we assume a spherical goat..." is usually a bad sign.

Frankly, all of this still reads as an a posteriori rationalization for finding the solution to the straightforward formulation of the puzzle counterintuitive.

> that has effectively no half-life once discovered

Google knew about this already, and hadn't done anything to fix it...and when it was reported, they didn't fully understand it and were dismissive, until the author came back at them again.

> Unmasking Google accounts? Could there be a business there? Sure, maybe

I'm pretty sure there are a _lot_ of youtube channels that private and public entities would love to uncover the identity of, and I would say that it's very unlikely these guys were the first to piece all this together.

The main takeaway for me is how incompetent Googlers seem to be, both in the basic "web application 101" mistakes made (not properly validating/restricting fields) and the clearly rushed evaluation of the security report. Such a report should trigger some folks going "oh, that's not good. I wonder what else is broken about this." Not "meh, not significant, quick patch, fixed."

Nobody at Google wants to work on stuff that isn't going to get them up a rung on the ladder.
As usual the best existing employees would fail the interview process.
The answer is yes. But it's not just about speed. The higher speeds drain the battery faster.

I say this because we currently use an old 2014 phone as a house phone for the family. It's set to 2G to take calls, and switches to 4g for the actual voice call. We only have to charge it once every 2-3 weeks, if not longer. (Old Samsung phones also had Ultra Power Saving mode which helps with that)

2G is being shutdown though. Once that happens and it's forced into 4G all the time, we'll have to charge it more often. And that sucks. There isn't a single new phone on the market that lasts as long as this old phone with an old battery.

The same principle is why I have my modern personal phone set to 4G instead of 5G. The energy savings are very noticeable.

This was a common way to do things before the telcos in the USA were deregulated in the 2000s and 2010s. At the time it was both internet and telephone but due to the timing of de regulation, it never really took off with real high speed internet, only dsl and dialup.

I used to work at a place that did both on top of the various telcos. We offered ‘premium service’ with 24 hour customer support and a low customer to modem and bandwidth ratio.

Most of our competitors beat us in price but would only offer customers support 9-5 and you may get a busy signal/ lower bandwidth in the back haul during peak hours.

There was a single company that owned the wires and poles, because it’s expensive and complex to build physical infrastructure and hard to compete, but they were bared from selling actual services or undercutting providers because of their position. (Which depended on jurisdiction).

It solved the problem we have now of everyone complaining about their ISP but only having one option in their area.

We have that problem now specifically because we deregulated common carriers for internet right as it took over the role of telephone service.
This was a great tool that saved me a LOT of time!

I wonder why? Some possibilities:

1. Extra silicon area being used by NPUs and TPUs instead of extra performance?

2. Passmark runs under Windows, which is probably using increasing overhead with newer versions?

3. Fixes for speculative execution vulnerabilities?

4. Most computers are now "fast enough" for the average user, no need to buy top end.

5. Intel's new CPUs are slower than the old ones
