Passive Heart Rate Monitoring During Smartphone Use in Everyday Life
My gaming PC has four NVME slots. Currently it hosts Windows 10 and Fedora, but since a new update was released it's also about to host SteamOS. When W 10 support ends later this year, I'll use Windows 11 ARM in a VM on my MacBook and that'll be that.

The only thing I really needed Windows for was gaming, tax preparation and running Scrivener. You can get native versions of Taxcut and Scrivener for MacOS and SteamOS is good enough for me 99% of the time. If I really must play something that's Windows-only there's always GeForce Now which has the added benefit of only tying a Windows instance to my Steam account and no other online identities.

Sayonara, Windows.

Let’s replay this.

You: how would you even value SpaceX?

Me: Some multiple of their last funding round

You: You’re irrational. They made money last year.

What?

Do you think earning a profit makes your company uncountably valuable? Or earning a profit and adding some promises on top? Neither is true!

These aren’t real problems in any scenario and certainly not in the scenario of “hello the United States of America is seizing your company, here’s a check we think is fair.”
Part of the “paint thing” is that Sherman Williams can assume the buyer knows what they’re doing - Home Depot needs to sell paint that works for anyone and even when badly applied.
In that case I would also want to see their genetic details for reasons probably too taboo to speak of. But also what the kids are eating.

They make a lot of them.

> "But stalkers!"

I think attributing the problem to “stalkers” minimizes the issues this arrangement of publicly searchable surveillance data creates. Imagine a website where you can type in anyone’s name and it shows you their last known location and their location history. You would have a system which supports universal spying for mundane and nefarious reasons alike. Not just criminal “stalkers” will take advantage of it.

Potentially this sort of arrangement would work if there are limits on the granularity, frequency, and history of the tracking data.

> Since I know Jeff frequents HN I'll go meta for a second and say that I noticed the Neatpatch cable management in the rack.

I love Neat Patch units just to make it so when I'm popping things in and out of my racks, I can drop a few loops of slack into the box and not have it hanging out the back. As long as you keep it relatively organized, it's a tidy, if a bit expensive, solution.

For long-term use on a lab rack, I don't like the 1U Neat Patch though. It's too short for frequent use, I often get a little slice from the rigid plastic fingers. The taller 2U units have enough space to work inside—and larger punchouts on the back, for easier cable passthrough.

I immediately thought of the magnetic charging as well before getting to your second paragraph.

One other concern I’d have with wired charging in the car long-term is wear and tear on the USB port and the cable over time (also considering the cable is likely being left in a sometimes very hot car).
Should she lose her fight to retain her visa and stay in this country, her university supervisor, friends and lawyer worry that she would be deported to Russia. Given her past involvement in protests against that country's invasion of Ukraine, they fear she could be imprisoned for years...

The usual consequence of such a customs violation is forfeiture of the identified item, a fine of up to $500 or both, said [attorney Gregory Romanovsky]. "Instead, they decided to punish her through this expedited removal process," he added, noting that the officers had "no legal basis" for revoking her J1 visa over this violation.

My understanding is that Apple already does have Wi-Fi Aware support (as it is required for interoperable implementations of things like ISO 18013-5).

> Between 1953 and 1979 Iran was a US vassal dictatorship

This is nonsense. You should read a history of Iran or at least the wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Reza_Pahlavi

Reza played the powers against one another. At times the US dictated what happened. At times Reza had more leverage and dictated terms to the US. It certainly was not a US vassal and did plenty of things that annoyed the US. Heck, the US didn't even control the oil industry in Iran, Britain did.
whats your thoughts on uv https://github.com/astral-sh/uv I am blown away, installing python packages used to take so long now I dont even think about it, really made Python more viable.
>There's no substantiation of that either way.

I don't think that's the true at all. There's a vast and visible footprint we can see with batteries (pretty sure every major solar company in the U.S. that has a battery storage option does at least some Tesla) that has no equivalent with solar rooftops. The former are ubiquitous while the latter are so far as I can tell almost entirely non existent.

And if that's too light on data I'll put it this way, I'm reasonably confident I can find 10 solar companies that install Tesla batteries for every one that does Solar City roofs.
As of now the only comment is a choice one from Simon Tatham in response to:

C nowadays is an insanely hostile programming environment. A C compiler relentlessly scours your program for any place where may have violated C’s almost incomprehensible rules, so that it can compile your apparently-correct program into a buggy executable.

he wrote:

Yesterday I had a C compiler optimise my main() into literally zero instructions. Not even a return instruction. It silently output an object file which would cause execution to fall off the bottom of main() into whatever the linker had happened to put next in the image!

The sin: a float-to-uint32 conversion with input value exactly 232, i.e. only just an overflow.

This was grounds to emit an executable that could not possibly be what anybody ever wanted. But not grounds to print so much as a compiler warning, even at -Wall!

Simon goes back many many years in C programming having written PuTTY, a suite of games, and a glorious (for some value of) hack of coroutines in C, and many other gems: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/

I smell margin call desperation. Musk got visibly worried with tanking Tesla stock and pulled out some crazy stops to keep Tesla afloat.

Remember, these megabillionaires are due to stock valuations, and live rich lifestyles on the basis of lending against the value of stock. If that value drops and a margin call forces actual selling, then Musk loses shares in Tesla.

I have to think this stunt is related to Musk needing some liquidity somehow, or being unable to cover private liquidity crunch with public assets.

TSLA is ludicrously overvalued. P/E is 150, based on Q4 earnings which were 1/3 "real" revenue, 1/3 mark-to-market-BTC (aka one shot), 1/3 CAFE/subsidies which Trump will nuke in 6 months.

But the "real" earnings that were already flat in Q4 are seeing a huge drop in EU/CN and who knows in the US. If "real" revenue drops 20%, the "real" earnings might drop 70% or more.

Anyway, that 150 p/e is ACTUALLY 450 in my mind, but after Q1 reports it will ACTUALLY be almost 1000 or worse.

The only thing keeping the stock afloat is AI hype, but 1000 p/e ratios are for people with market dominance and fundamental leads on competitors. Tesla is arguably middle of the road in both self driving and robots.
Idk, I used to want to work for Google but I'm not so sure anymore. They built an awesome landscaper next to my office in London.

I feel it’s more the idea of “misery loves company” playing out on a grand scale.

The wealth gap in America has pushed a larger amount of the population into ever tightening economic situations.. the psychological aspect of this brings people to want other people to feel suffering if they are.

Unfortunately the population is being fed fake enemies by the people in leadership positions.

At the time it seemed like a solid bet. It was in no way apparent that there was any way to shoehorn even more bullshit into the status quo. We grew up with Ronald Reagan as president and grown-ass adults convinced Dungeons and Dragons was the pinnacle of devil worship (meanwhile satanists were dismayed to find out it was just math and improv). Important people thought Lee Iacocca was a good pick to run a car company. Reasonable people concluded that this had to be the nadir of society and culture.
With Trump you can never be sure. His is very very stupid.
Another scientific bit that's almost always ignored in the growing/shrinking trope is that the pitch of one's voice would change. The incredible shrinking man would presumably have an inaudibly high pitched voice. His own cilia are shrinking too so it'd be interesting to work out if he could hear himself.

Variants like the Hulk also seem to violate the conservation of mass but it's amusing to imagine using that property to make an infinite power source. Put Bruce Banner/Hulk on one side of a teeter toter and a mass between that of Banner and the Hulk on the other, then get Banner/Hulk to alternate forms. Profit!

> Just an obvious example — there are of course no engineers in the decision to make a "Snow Leopard" release or not. That is a "marketing" decision.

I think it is more that the decision to SAY Snow Leopard was a bug fix-only release was a marketing one. The reality is that release also sported things like 64-bit Intel ports of all apps, added Grand Central Dispatch (e.g. an entirely new code concurrency system) and included a from-scratch Finder rewrite.

I always saw these releases (I bundle Mountain Lion in) were all about trying to rein in excessively long release cycles. Short release cycles tend to not have enough time to introduce new bugs, while extended release cycles create a sense of urgency to get code in under the wire.

Now, release cycles have moved to be staged across a fairly predictable annual calendar. If there's an issue where features are getting pushed out 6 months or a year earlier than they should, that is a management and incentives problem.

What you're looking for is speaker embeddings. It's an embedding calculated from an audio snippet. As the other commenter mentioned, it should be combined with a robust voice isolation system.

My own system automatically detects new speakers and tries to pick up on cues to identify the speaker, and once they are identified by name, the corresponding average embedding is inserted into a vector database so that the agent can later use the embedding for simple authentication, ignoring chatter in noisy public spaces, RAG context loading, etc. It works pretty well!

NASA/DoD did lay some of the groundwork. DC-X was a vertical landing rocket meant for reuse nearly 35 years ago. Granted SpaceX has done amazing things that are more difficult (DC-X was suborbital), but I tend to think if NASA continued they would have got there. From my perspective, SpaceX’s major benefit is they don’t have to follow the same rules as NASA so they can do things quicker and/or cheaper.

The “waste” is really just a different risk tolerance. You could make many of the NASA requirements go away, but nobody wants to be the one who signs up for that when the next disaster happens.
It can be both.

The intent of 1A is to protect the freedom of speech from those in power. The fact that non-government entities now wield the power to suppress speech doesn't change the fact that this is an infringement of free speech.
