Specially funny to me is how on console orientend channels everyone is talking about the raise of PC gaming, it never went anywhere.

Using computers, not game consoles, for gaming was all over the place during the 8 and 16 bit home computing days, and the large majority eventually moved into Windows PC, as the other platforms died, that is why Valve has to translate Windows/DirectX if they want to have any games at all on their SteamDeck.

Consoles has been a niche market, at least here in Europe, mainly used by kids until they are old enough not to destroy the family's computer while playing games, given that many families only have one per household. And nowadays that roles has probably been taken over the tablets.

To the point that Playstation/XBox are now becoming publishing brands, as the exponential growth for selling consoles has plateaued.

PC gaming is going nowhere.
When political pride outweighs human lives, you know something is deeply broken. Definitely reinforces the idea that famines are rarely just about food shortages
Genuine q, what makes FB marketplace good, and how did it blow up over Ebay / Craigslist? Is it a combination of having the platform with the most people as well as being the most likely platform to have people who are situated near you?
One would think having a lot of followers on instagram is exactly that
But I hope that delta updates are still not being implemented - I really don't expect Apple to make an update that doesn't require a factory reset on their base devices before update. That would be very futuristic. Just like reliably fetching my emails - though it was stable like a concrete block in iOS8, I understand that times change.
Apparently we don't like this idea that a "system" can cause a genocide. Instead, we rather want to believe that only people with bad intentions are doing bad things, and that if something dramatic happen it must be because some people wanted it that way, despite the enormous amount of evidence showing that our individual volition adds almost no weigh in the course of history.

I suppose that this fallacy comes partly from the fear that people guilty of criminal negligence or hateful prejudice would escape punishment. Like that person who mentioned Nuremberg in his response. Well, no of course, that many circumstances are necessary for a genocide to happen beside just the will of the criminals, do not free anyone participating in it from the responsibilities of their actions (or lack thereof).

But I also suspect this is coming from a deeper, darker psychological bias. This belief that there are "villains" behind every crime may just be the necessary belief to justify our own wrong behavior. We do not intend to cause any harm to anyone, yet we let a lot of unjust things happen every day. We walk past some people in need for assistance every day, but we can't help everyone right?, on our way to work in some IT corporation that's also helping build bombs or military IA that's going to be used in yet another unfair war but a good defense industry is necessary right? So in order for this thought to work as justification, we need to believe that, as long as we do not intend to cause harm, then we are in the green.

The machinery we need to prevent the system we all play a small part into from causing such crimes of historical scale is that we should acknowledge and learn about the system. That's not enough to learn history ; in an advanced democratic society we would learn some sociology from middle school.
Articles like this are worth the author's weight in gold. But as evidenced by the comments here, only few people understand the argument. The rest just "know better".
I’ve been using <EOM> in subject for a while. I seem to recall picking it up sometime while working at Google.
A reasonable rule of thumb is how much money you spend on something. Even if you buy something that is ostensively green your money is still flowing into an economy which isn’t.
No, all popular functional languages have one flavour of polymorphism or the other.

Or, in math speak, Oop means polymorphism but polymorphism doesn't mean oop.
The competitive advantage boils down to being able to do what is optimal for you to spend your time on. America can enrich a majority of the richest people on earth, by having a fraction of the populace working.

China has to put up nets on its factories and subsidize entire swathes of its economy, for decades, to be competitive.

Currently - the value of labor is being eroded by the value of automation. This is why it’s no longer possible for India to succeed by turning into a manufacturing powerhouse. The global option now is in having effective service industries. Generative AI is already throwing a wrench in that plan.

This is leaving ZERO room for people with ordinary resources, knowledge and skills.

The idea that free trade is the problem, may have held for a specific window in time. That window was small and has closed. The larger issue is automation, and the displacement of neophyte workers.

——-

My personal take - the challenge today is helping people actualize themselves. This is a very fuzzy term, and frankly it embarrasses me to use it. But we have better tools, practice, and science behind human thinking. I’ve used this knowledge practically, and I’ve seen results in team performance and motivation.
Former secretary sent me EOM mails, not sure where she picked it up. She is fantastic, and very effective in keeping the organisational fallout in check. I had reasons to leave the place but now I have to survive without her.
What if the Firefox account's password got compromised and the attacker doesn't have access to any of the user's devices?

The previous sync (Sync 1.1 aka Weave) used to protect against this scenario by not allowing any synced data to be decrypted at all (since the sync server does not have your secret key at all).
Manifest V3 has 100% market share for all "full featured" browsers. My understanding is that just yesterday, YouTube made a change that allows them to apply DRM to videos, with even the client side buffer maintaining encryption until playback. How long until we start seeing similar applied to websites/articles?

Eventually, there will be an overstep that make enough capable people mad, and those people will get together and make/mod something better.
…which is about as much as commuting to work that’s 5km away for 6 months. Given a ~3 year lifespan of such device, it isn’t such a low amount. And when you decide to get a new, more efficient car, it will have a its own carbon footprint too.
…with barely supported M1 and LKML drama. I would love for it to be an option, but it just isn’t.
If it can help:

- Supersolid: it's a state of matter when a system is both organised like a solid but presents superfluid-like flow without viscosity.

- Driven-dissipative: it's a qualifier for systems which are dissipative (excitations of the systems dissipate energy as heat) and driven by external fields (in this case strong electromagnetic fields are keeping the supersolid in shape). In physics, "driven" usually refers to an external influx of energy or force kept on the system.

- non-equilibrium system is what we call systems where the physics cannot be fully described by a statistical analysis of the whole over long times. These systems have transitory behaviours which are often complex before they return to equilibrium (unless they are driven away from it).

Exciton-polariton: excitons and polaritons are what we call quasiparticles. They're not particles in the sense of an electron or photon, but instead they are excitations of the collective system which look like particles. Kind of like how waves on the ocean aren't one water molecule, but a bunch of them. An exciton has no charge (it's essentially an electron and a missing electron stuck together). When an exciton couples to electromagnetic waves (photons), it can make a special type of polariton (another quasiparticle) which we call an exciton-polariton.

- Photonic = made of photons
eBay charges taxes and takes a cut of the sale price. They report your income to the IRS too. Facebook marketplace allows people to meet up and exchange things for cash. No fees. No taxes. And it’s much harder to scam someone in person.

Seemingly, craigslist should allow for this as well. Unfortunately for craigslist, however, it has been societally labeled as “for the olds”

That's true and maybe that's still a worthy compromise. The point that adds any value to this is the time restriction and if the restriction is removed, then what's the point?
I've been running one for a couple years now, and even in that short of time Longhorn has made huge leaps in maturity. It was/is definitely the weakest link.

Cost wise it's a no brainer. Three servers with 64 GB ECC and 6 cores for the price of three M5 larges. So 192 GB and 18 cores for the price of 24GB and 6 cores.

I think one of reason k8s can get a bad rap is how expensive it is to even approach doing it right with cloud hosting, but to me it seems like a perfect use case for bare metal where there is no built in orchestration.

Ask HN: Using IceCC (Or Equivalent) for Distributed AOSP/LineageOS Builds?
I’ve been trying to speed up my LineageOS builds with IceCC, but haven’t had much luck. I know the cluster itself works because I’ve used IceCC for Linux kernel builds. There’s an old script called icecc-create-android-env ( around 12 years old, https://github.com/ragner/icecream/blob/android-build/client/icecc-create-android-env ) floating around GitHub, but it doesn’t seem compatible with modern Android build systems. Has anyone here managed to get IceCC working reliably for AOSP or LineageOS? Or is there a newer or alternative solution for distributed building on multiple machines? Any pointers or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Yet another peerflix POC in Go language
Exactly the answer I gave in my head after reading the title

For starters I would say that Afghanistan certainly lost. Taliban might have won but certainly not Afghanistan.

> Americans would like to advertise their loss

I couldn’t care less about that. Fact is that the defeat was primarily and almost entirely political, not a military one.

> should be treated as, the biggest failure of the American

Without ad blockers, I will not even browse the internet.
The power savings of new computers are not relevant if compared with the energy that is needed to build them. University of Edinburgh (2016) found that by extending the lifetime of a single computer and monitor from four years to six
years, approximately 190 kgCO2e of carbon emissions are avoided (I doubt anyone is using their devices even 4 years nowadays). Report is here: https://edwebcontent.ed.ac.uk/sites/default/files/atoms/file...
Secure PIN entry
The sheer amount of inbound I get for random stuff is overwhelming.

Facebook can put stuff in front of so many people.

I have sold furniture, electronics, used clothing, all sorts of crap.
Laptops are also desktops, for all pratical purposes other than being able to swap components.

There are plenty of games and graphics to play, all the way back to the Atari 2600, not everyone is playing the last version of Call of Duty, Cyberpunk, or whatever tops the AAA charts.

In fact, those integrated GPUs are good enough for WebGL 2.0, which I still haven't seen much that can top mobile games graphics in the last 10 years (done with OpenGL ES), other than demoscene reels on shader competitions.

reference please. As a Chinese I would love to learn about it.
My pet conspiracy theory is that the monetary influence in US politics is a deciding factor in keeping it close to 50/50 as this allows for the biggest footballification of politics and thus allows politicans/donors to extract the most from people who vote against their interest just to see the other side lose.

The only thing I am unsure about is whether this needs coordination (a conspiracy) or is just a systemic dynamic that emerges from the rules of the system.
From my perspective (ultimately), it's about building infrastructure, education, and industries that sustainably improve quality of life

Where is the controversy in the examples?
I take looking at screens in an office over breathing exhaust gases and pesticides any day. Working on a farm is hard work even in developed countries.

Except docker, on its own without something else in the stack, isn't Virtualization.
Why does it matter? If the system was different the whole campaign would have changed. Only the votes that matter actually matter. The rest is just speculation and you really have no idea what would happen to the popular vote if that’s what was important. He won!
But I wonder how long it'll stay fee-free. Meta isn't known for leaving money on the table forever
I had this happen at a local community College but it also was where you would access your grades. Shut down over winter break, was awkward to tell my internship coordinator that I couldn't access the website for 2 weeks to get my grades because the website was closed over break... Fricken crazy (and they where using a pretty popular platform, this was not some home spun system)
My wife hates those with burning passion. I used it exactly once and then learned not to.

Part of the reason is that people doing it don't put EOM to terminate the title. But the other part is that MUAs love to truncate the subject line for display because "UX", and the most popular ones (like GMail web interface, or Outlook) are janky - so in the end, what happens is, you have to open that email anyway, and then you see just signature with nothing above, and the obvious first thought is, "that stupid email client broke again", followed by "or the sender accidentally clicked 'send' before writing the message", both of which are much more likely than someone using subject-line-only message.

Doesn't also help that most normies can't communicate to save their lives, so the title is gibberish and full of typos. There's a minimum volume of text you need to error-correct that, and subject line alone isn't enough.
You don’t think the cratering sales numbers have anything to do with it?
> specifically to increase extension performance and privacy

This reasoning is so bogus that it’s hard to believe anybody could believe it in good faith. Ad blockers are essential for performance and user privacy and security.

If Apple truly bought into this reasoning then they’d integrate an ad blocker like Brave does. Follow the money.
Do you mean a daily digest of Slack comms?
> push back strongly whenever you can against the wildly wasteful web and its effective browser monopoly

What does that mean (like what should one do to actually follow what you're saying?) I hate how the web is progressing, but there's nothing I can do to stop it. I use the free-est browser I can use while still being able to access most stuff (Firefox), I use old computers (my newest machine is from 2018 which I just bought second-hand a few months ago), and I use open source OSes (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux).

Anyway, that person has already directly "refused to upgrade" by using existing hardware, so I'm not sure what you're actually criticizing. Hackintoshing happens to be the way they reached this goal, and they made a blog post about it. Nothing wrong with that.
[Edit] Ok, I should have read better. i7-6800k is from intel and not from the stone age.

Are you sure your 68000 machine had 32Gb of ram? If memory serves me well it was most likely 32 Mb.

68020 has a 32 bit address space, so the maximum RAM it can handle is 4Gb
> At the time that was a huge enabler for tracking down obscure references and authors.

Would that still work today, in the highly commercialized and highly sanitized/censored internet? Where Google wouldn't show you those search results because they aren't profitable enough?

And how do you even train an LLM on a fair representation of human knowledge when you only find stuff that is mainstream and commercially viable?

Are there no Twitter employees willing to come out of the woodwork and put an end to this bullshit? It must have been all-hands-on-deck today, so there must be a large number who know the true story.
Imagine your car gets stolen, but it's still there in the morning.

Would you be happy that you lost nothing - and someone else can be driving now too? No. This is too kind and humane.

You would be griefing that you lost something you didn't even have in the first place - potential profit.
Presumably ARM hackintoshes are, or will be, possible too? Recent ARM processors (eg: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X) have performance comparable to Apple’s M-series, and are even finding their way into desktops. So there shouldn’t be a shortage of candidate hardware in the coming years!
To be fair - the reverse engineering has to be done for every of the M series, and the M1 is the best supported Apple SoC so far. I guess we should support the project if we want them to succeed (they live from donations).
They're talking about the i7-6800k

I wouldn't describe it as "good", but this is where the sellers/buyers are, especially for home/kids items. It's like the demographics of normie moms being on Facebook is what gives market lots of views - items can then land on people's feeds as well, through the local buy/sell groups.
For what it’s worth, HN is already a bit like this.

Back when I lived in the ‘states, I’d wake up in the morning and participate in all sorts of interesting discussions on a bunch of fresh posts.

Now, living in Europe, I wake up to a homepage full of “7 hours ago” top comments with 200 points on them. Any contribution we make from here will last maybe a minute or two before getting sorted down out of view.

I spend most of my time now reading what y’all had to say about stuff.
That’s nonsense. AdGuard + SponsorBlock.

I almost exclusively use Safari and I havent seen a single ad in almost a decade
I'm from Austria and until recently I didn't even know that FB Marketplace was a thing. Never used it in my life. We have a great local website (https://willhaben.at) that everyone uses. I guess it's the Austrian version of Craigslist.
Why would it?

It's not that people are forced to say things that they don't want to say. It's people who say the things that shouldn't be said don't get hired in roles where they can speak.

Do you really think that, say, CNN, or WAPO will ever pay people to broadcast views that are actually, credibly threatening to the financial well-being of their owners? Or ones that will make their viewers uncomfortably challenged?

The marketplace of ideas in American mass media has always been quite narrow and orthodox in its offerings. Sure, you can say anything you want, but it takes the support of someone with power to be able to say it in a place you will be heard. And the more media consolidates, the smaller and less diverse that field of patrons gets.
Alright, but he needs to stay out of the news for about 1 week.

They are definitely read. I had a bad visit and was accused once of plotting to assassinate Clinton because someone I'd given an account to on a Linux box sent a very detailed manifesto to that email address. ~1996?

At his level, the only thing he cares about are tax breaks.
There was a social network called Path, that was this concept, you could only have 50 friends on the network.

It was a really nice app, but they just couldn't make it work.

I have an idea kicking round the back of my head... when I was a teenager I ran a php forum on a shared server. I shared it with my school friends, and we had about 30 regular members on it. It turned into a full blown social network, we'd have our own memes, we'd talk about who's going to the school disco, make jokes etc...

It was really nice, there was no monetization, no ads, the "feed" was chronological, no bots, or spammers.

I also used it to learn programming, reading and modifying the code to add our own features.

My idea is an open source social network. Completely customisable. It wouldn't be designed to scale up past a couple of hundred users. You'd host it yourself (on aws, heroku or similar), and would be completely in control of the instance.
It's not private information, though. If you work for the government it is literally public information, by statutes, federal and state.
