13:21 in the video clearly shows that Snapdragon 865 already at 15 TOPS while A14 only has 11 TOPS

how is that skepticism?

the machine learning on A14 is still slower than Qualcomm and Samsung chips [0]

Android smartphones are smarter than iPhone technically by the article's common sense

They mentioned Vulkan and OpenGL but no sign of supporting Linux, anyone knows why at all?

The last time I opened a pdf file in Chrome/Firefox in Github PDF renderer, the computer ran out of RAM. The pdf file I opened definitely didn't require so much RAM at all.

Alternative solution: download and open it locally

I could be wrong, but most mac users excluding developers don't know anything when they bought the laptop.

> that your data is already gone.

By the way, the parent comment was talking about this

People can use their mouths to say at least the fact of flaws the product and services you purchased which acts as an advice to not purchase them

The downvote button on Hacker News doesn't work like a dislike button by the way

Re:You're enlightened – now what? on Monday September 28, 2020 @02:21PM (#24619727)
Just coming back to read this post and threads, it has been 3 days since I saw this clickbait title

Apparently, just as I thought, the author doesn't know about enlightenment. No, that doesn't imply that I am more "woke" than anyone else, or anyone else is more "woke" than me. Even if it does, so?

Enlightenment, if you know it, you know it. You want to change the world, go ahead. You give no f* about the world, you do you.

(Critically) Questioning enlightened people about what they will do for themselves or the world won't make a difference, it doesn't make the author more enlightened, more clever or sounds superior.

I will gladly ask after he finishes his words, so?

I can't change the world, so?

I can't change people to learn, so?

You aren't happy with me enlightening, so?

I enlightened, or not, so?

I will change the world, and so?

Now you are enlightened in this moment, so?

That is because apple fanboys like @alkonaut does not allow sane discussions pointing out apple flaws on iOS on Hacker News

Can't you tell from his attitude? Even if you can, I still need to point that out because nobody else will

My piece of advie: Don't take your brain memory for granted

In this era of information technology everyone is bombarded with tons of data that they don't know how to think and memorize

Thinking and memorizing can strengthen your brain muscles but people hate exercising their bodies and their brains

I do use keepass for managing different passwords, but I kind of memorize most of them, only open keepass for storing them in case I ever forget

Everything about AI is impressive, as long as there is any

It just means fast loading assets, so if SSD becomes RAM one day, anything interesting at all? Same goes for ray tracing, looking more realistic with control of light...

Nothing special here, no need to hype

edit:

You know what really makes a difference?

You playing an VR open world game where every single artificial intelligence NPC does thing in every possible way leading to different gameplay and outcome. And you as a character can just grab anything you want and throw at any monster that you just CREATED in that game itself

Or you can control that monster that you created in your own way, time travelling to another open world game saying hello to your friend playing in his house back and forth

Together with some AI NPC friends you made in that game, you live in that dimensional space forever as you want even after your human body dies, your conscious stays in electronic form

I really failed to notice that, yea they did talk about it in other pages

It does look like a content farm
This article didn't talk deep enough about PS5 custom storage chip controller or I missed it.

Since people are so disappointed with ARM64 video/audio viewing/recording/editing applications, they should write their own and contribute to Linux ARM64 and stop complaining

RISC V on FPGA sucks, I wouldn't use it either

May I know what's that 160 x 48 display and processor you are using to teach?

I am interested to learn low level stuff like CPU assembly, operating system and VGA, VBE, linear frame buffering graphics. I want to see how far I can go with low end x86, arm, misp, and fpga devices

sorry my bad, I realized my question was not making sense, I actually mean they can publish research data if the authority does not approve of it?
Correct me if I am wrong, Unikernels are basically allowing binary to run at Ring 0?

What do you think about WASM in the kernel with the same high level concept with Unikernel? link in the below

Re:New species of fungus identified via Twitter on Saturday May 16, 2020 @07:49AM (#23202655)
since the article mentioned this, since when can people in the scientific field simply share their research data without facing any consequences?

edit: sorry my bad, I realized my question was not making sense, I actually mean they can publish research data if the authority does not approve of it?

What were you guys thinking when you intended to upvote this post on Hacker News?
I do think that open sourcing and transparency matter a lot in this era. Do that first before claiming the hard work, if not what's the difference between a mad scientist and a doctor?
Yesterday my team just received an email from IT department where another largest company was infected with Maze Ransonware

I would say current times is crucial for malware programmers, it's a lifetime opportunity to grab cash before everyone else learns the importance of security

Malware programmers also have a family to feed you know

> 'm not sure why jQuery is mentioned either. It was popular when I started programming but fell out favour when its major functionalities were implemented in ECMAScript.

less than a year ago I was doing Magento, yea, jQuery is still there.

Now working on an already established Angular web and hybrid mobile apps, I saw jQuery symbol, and immediately checked it in the source, really surprised to see it there

Without a google account I can setup my Xiaomi A3 just fine.

I even disabled google play services and play store all together. Root with magisk method.

OutOfTopic: At work, I develop an app using Angular+Cordova webview, but it couldn't work on my Mi A3, always crashing like another local banking app I have (which I have uninstalled anyway). The Play store, before disabling, also black screen at google signing in page, unless I have already signed in before rooting with Magisk. Lol I wonder why it is so buggy. Should go with TWRP SuperSU root, but whatever, the A/B partition method uses up a lot of storage as well (I think)

I am thinking next time buying a Lineage OS compatible android phone to use. Android 10 is not reaching all the MI A1, A2, A3 phones at all, with Android 11 coming up already.

Ask HN: Mobile Internet Throttling on Client or Server Side?

Hi all,I got myself an Android 9 phone recently since my Android 4.4 phone died.Previously, I was able to modify a file in Android 4.4 system, /system/etc/throttle.sh, so that it looks like the throttling is gone but I forgot to thoroughly test the internet speed on it.Now in Android 9 I couldn't find similar folder or file to modify, nor I have the time to study Android Open Source Project.

I don't understand how to 'alt select' anything, what is it for?

I don't mind the the numbers of word/line in my full HD 15.6" laptop screen, in fact, and I actually hated the 80 words/line pattern like articles at medium.com. Are you on 4k wide somehow?
