That's their point though. Basically no modern phone/laptop/tablet other than Apple offloads audio decoding (of any codec) to hardware. You can check this on Android phones by installing the Codec Info app.

There is absolutely a crisis of bad health outcomes due to relatively simple home medical procedures. E.g. People take Tylenol at home thinking it is safe, meanwhile Tylenol posionsing is the second most common reason for liver transplantation worldwide.

The reason we accept these crisis is due to societal, cultural and religious tradition/pressure. IMO, in an ideal world, many of these things should draw additional scrutiny.

FUTO Swipe supports ClearFlow, which is exactly what you are talking about, a keyboard layout optimized for swiping: https://clearflowkeyboard.github.io/

For example preventing people who have repeatedly been convicted of violence ("hooliganism") from entering sports stadiums.

You should't need face recognition to do this (as it seems stadiums are already successful in banning people who haven't paid from entering the venue).

That's not the full source code of the browser, that only includes the core engine. The UI is still closed source.

It's not like glass syringes are out of production though? They are still pretty cheap, I get them for $0.50 each from China.

Boycotts definitely have their limitations, but the Sodastream boycott seems to have had some sort of effect: https://www.timesofisrael.com/victory-for-bds-as-sodastreams..., though whether the intended effect was achieved is debatable...

I've also been dabbling in this recently in an attempt to avoid buying SodaStream syrups (which are on the BDS boycott list).

Tips for working on sugar-free recipes: In some countries (like Canada), soft-drink manufacturers are required to disclose the exact amount of each artificial sweetener they use in the drink. So you can easily grab those numbers from Canadian product listings for use in your own recipes. E.g. 355ml of Diet Coke contains 131 mg aspartame + 15mg ace-K.

Also, aspartame can be difficult/slow to dissolve. It dissolves better in solutions with a low pH and a warmer temperature.

I'm not sure I fully understand you. All those OSes try very, very hard to disambiguate between apps and the user itself?

They are constantly attacked because they prevent users from modifying the system configuration, not just app developers.

Sadly, this issue is systemic: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/2847

Thank you for putting in the time to do the research, this is incredibly helpful!

The current largest hydroelectric dam in the world is the Three Gorges Dam in China. It can generate 22.5GW (40% more power than the dam in 2nd place, which is also Chinese).

Since Jan 2024, China has on average constructed 23GW of new solar power every month. So China has effectively been adding a "world's largest dam" worth of solar power, every single month for the last 24 months.

It's nice for extracting data from a page into some structured format (e.g. CSV). Much quicker than trying to whip up a JS script or something.

There are already headsets with decent text fidelity, but IMO the problem is now on the host side. I tried to get an XR desktop env running (Stardust https://stardustxr.org/) on Linux but ran into graphical issues. The Windows ecosystem is much better though.

Yes, but the 'am' command is just a CLI Java program. At that point, it would be more efficient to just boot a JVM in the binary to avoid the JVM startup cost every time a Intent/Broadcast needs to be sent.

I believe the Termux API relies on a Java/app process that runs in the background to do stuff in response to API calls. Though I guess you get it for free if you already have the API running for other reasons.

I don't really care about the notifications. I just want to read what's in the servers. Lots of communities post their announcements/links/resources in their Discord servers.

It is sometimes possible to view a Discord server without joining it, but it is painful compared to just joining the server.

the android development kit really is very heavy. compared to `gcc -o main main.cpp && ./main`, it is several orders of magnitude away.

the jetpack stuff and whatnot - the big android app shops probably do actually appreciate that stuff. but i wish the dev env 'scaled to zero' as they say, but in the sense of cognitive overload.

I tried to build a small binary that listens for events and launches/wakes an app to do some automation. But apparently there's no way to send Intents or Broadcasts from native code? So I need to boot a JVM in the binary if I want it to communicate with anything else on the system!

Of course, you can always communicate via stdio, but that's useless because everything in Android speaks Intents/Broadcasts. Native code can also do raw Binder calls, but nothing on the system speaks raw Binder.

I also wish open-source communities would move off of Discord for another reason: Users are limited to joining a maximum of 100 servers.

I've hit the cap and it's driving me crazy. It's really easy to hit it since each friend group, hobby group, gaming community, and open-source community often all have their own servers.

Obviously you can find quotes to support such a position. Just like I can run around quoting Israeli PMs about how Palestinians are rats and how they must all be killed. You have to look at the whole of the evidence, not individual quotes.

But you are aware that the Israeli side states that the Arabs who left Israel in 1948 did so at the beheast of Arab politicians requets - and there is ample evidence of this. Yet, many didn't leave and Israel became 20% Arab.

Bro really said: "the Palestinians did the nakba to themselves"...

By disassembly of ptxas, it is indeed hard-coded that they have logic like: strstr(kernel_name, "cutlass").

it is likely that, this is an unstable, experimental, aggressive optimization by NVIDIA, and blindly always enabling it may produce some elusive bugs.

There are also some architectural differences between mobile & desktop GPUs which may impact games that are not optimized for the platform: https://chipsandcheese.com/p/the-snapdragon-x-elites-adreno-...

Yeah, I too was surprised to find the dev experience very good: all JetBrains IDEs work well, Visual Studio appears to work fine, and most language toolchains seem well supported.

I suspect that's due to the GPU and not due to Prism, because they basically just took a mobile GPU and stuffed it into a laptop chip. Generally performance seems to be on par with whatever a typical flagship Android devices can do.

Desktop games that have mobile ports generally seem to run well, emulation is pretty solid too (e.g. Dolphin). Warcraft III runs OK-ish.

Are you using a non-default theme or are you using custom KWin scripts (e.g. to enable "window gaps")? Both my laptop & desktop run near-default KDE and moving the mouse to the top-right + clicking always closes the maximized window.

Definitely not, I agree with you that it's counterproductive.

The "Palestine" issue is single-issue on the surface, but it is often used because it is a succint way to package a broad set of desired foreign policy changes: more cooperation with the Islamic world, less aggression/hegemony, and less money fed to insatiable MIC.

Personally I do not see how we can afford to maintain the MIC for much longer, so these issues are very important to me.

My understanding is that no smartwatch takes SpO2 readings during activity/workout tracking as the sensor is not accurate when you are in motion.

The 20h number I mentioned is from the OP: "For continuous outdoor workout tracking, Apple Watch Ultra 3 now gets 20 hours of battery life in Low Power Mode with full GPS and heart rate readings." Low Power mode disables AOD and SpO2 (which is already disabled anyways during workout tracking).

I doubt SpO2 is very battery intensive either, certainly it can't be worse than the heart rate sensor. Both sensors work in the same way fundamentally.

Feels like there is something missing every time I use a forum that doesn't support phpBB smilies.
