It depends on the local laws. Some states in the US give university police the same powers invested in "real" police officers, but many limit enforcement to ticketing, monitoring, and/or detainment until the "real"

This one is actually a real word, AFAIK (and the definition isn't too far off, haha). Not sure if that's intended.

Curious: what problem could be solved by a human (or group of humans) but not a computer (or group of computers)?

I know there's gonna be a lot of people here that are happy about this for various reasons (anti-Google, anti-"smart cities", etc), but this is really disappointing for me. It's true that the concept of "cities&quot

I'd also classify WTFs as something that behaves completely unlike how you'd expect based on knowing many other similar/related languages, also.

I really hope so too. I've been running a decently-profitable bootstrapped company for a few years now and it's been weird having potential investors/acquirers looking more at things like activity/growth metrics than dol

According to the "Get the code" link [1], it looks like these models need pretty huge GPUs to even interact with the pre-trained models. Is that abnormal? I was under the impression that training the model is generally what takes

I think the analogy falls apart when you consider the movement/creation of singular objects (like your phone or your money) versus new/copied objects (a copy of his birthday on your singular piece of paper). If you create a replic

I wish we could at least get a browser-level setting to accept/decline all the cookie popups, but AFAIK there's no normalization across them that would make interacting with them in a general sense easy/possible. Why didn&#x2

It's his birthday, but he definitely doesn't own your piece of paper now.

Removing front-end JS would be extra nice for speeding up page loads, too.

There's a HUGE middle ground between "just having a login" and "sucking up as much personal information as possible in order to monetize that data". Unfortunately, that's where most of the chilling effect will

A friend of mine works in an office where you need a hardline for the network and there's one coworker always leaving his USB-C adapter on the hotseat cat5s, and always complaining when others in the office take them off and repeatedly

A friend and I were having a tangentially related conversation about net-healthy processes that could theoretically be mandated during a pandemic and their effects on the populace at large. Putting everyone on a daily fitness regimen would

Please don't take this as argument, but do you have any studies/sources that support anything <1 sec of load time being "good enough" for 90% of use cases? Maybe I'm naive, 90% seems like an extremely high estima

Most of the initial innovations seem to be in the hardware, e.g. controllers that hop over your PC/console, game servers in edge nodes, etc. They're incremental improvements, but my latency on Stadia gets down to single-digits at

Yeah, kind of like that (except laptops have a built-in keyboard/mouse, so it's not as much of a problem as, say, a desktop where people rely on their own existing hardware would be). I'd wager most people buy those devices b

I didn't complain about PS/2 and VGA ports because the replacements were decidedly better. I've yet to see anything that makes the removal of a 3.5mm jack seem comparable. You couldn't use DVI or HDMI without replacing t

Off-topic, but I use the HomeSpot adapter [1] to add Bluetooth to my Switch. It's a big battery drain so I try to use wired where I can, but if I need wireless (watching something while doing dishes, etc) it works pretty well with some

Saying you can leave a 3.5-to-lightning adapter attached to your headphones assumes that all of your other devices can do audio over lightning also. Realistically, it seems like you'd add or remove the dongle based on what devices you&

I think Tennyson's famous lines "Tis better to have loved and lost, / Than never to have loved at all" apply here. :)

Playing Pokemon GO beat this into me hard. It used to be such a battery drain that you pretty much had to constantly be plugged in to a power bank with everything non-essential turned off (wifi, bluetooth, brightness, etc). But when you&#x2

I'm not sure "driving an older car" is a very niche case. 3.5mm jacks on car stereos go back literal decades, and my 2019 Jetta still has one (even though it also has Android Auto + CarPlay). Even as far back as cars with cas

Not a clue yet. The Pixel 4a looks promising, but is once again huge. It's for my wife, so it might come down to whether she prefers that jack or something that fits in her hand, but I'm in this thread to google the other phones h

I wasn't following the leaks (if any) but I was excited for this announcement. Looking for a new phone to replace the 6S and this one looked like it might encroach on "small" territory. It's about an inch past the ideal

I used to do something like this any time I detected twin threads (discussing the same URL) across HN and reddit. If anyone asked any unanswered question at one source, one of my bots would ask it at the other sources (plus Quora, usually)

Also worth noting the foam guard on your headset can be adjusted or replaced for a better/different fit. I have three foam guards I alternate between (because people get sweaty when I have them over for Beat Saber and it's easy to

This looks absolutely awesome, but I think there's a bit more to be done RE neck strain and general ergonomics for the vast majority of people. If you are at a desk and/or without a swivel chair, you're pretty limited to a gr

This is a solution that, if done "perfectly", should be able to catch 100% of spam submissions. This is in contrast to things like captchas (because they "test" something other than the end-goal [no spam] to guess at whe
