A student of mine was researching "vendor malware" [0] she decided to
order as many random, dodgy USB devices as could be found on the
internet to see what percentage of them were loaded with horrors.
We settled on a CRU Wiebetech write blocker and a minimal sandboxed distro (that could reboot to a clean slate in a couple of seconds) with little more than a kernel for which we could activate and deactivate USB modules.
Conclusions:
USB is terrifying! :)
Buying USB things in the internet is even more scary!!
Excellent (and shocking) research!
Rather a shame that page with the abstract has excessively large & linespaced body text which makes it hard to actually read on mobile... that the chat feature assumes you must be a student not anyone else... and the Contact Us is buried many levels deep in the nav... hence me giving up and telling you about the above here.

Don't forget they also invented XHR (aka fetch) in 2001.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMLHttpRequest
Kind of, using it became known as "AJAX" and it took many many years (and the addition of promises to JS) before the more sophisticated "Fetch API" became available.
Even then usage of AJAX declined rather slowly as it was so established, and indeed even now it's still used by many websites!
I would have to agree that architecture tends to be much less impressive when viewed through a microscope than when you can see more than a square inch of it.
The implication appears to be that indoor swimming pools contain disease, but obviously they would not differ from any other swimming pools in that respect. That is the reason for the chlorine that makes getting swimming pool water in your eyes so painful.
You're mostly spot on but your last sentence is flawed, as it's chloramines that are the problem with pools, not chlorine, and urine is all-too-often the root cause

you joke, but it's the most powerful promotion technique. create something insanely efficient but still provides business value, and then spend 2-3 years "increasing efficiency" and publicizing it, then get promoted because you're so great at efficiency, repeat. "I saved $20,000 with this one neat trick!" (neat trick: turn off the servers you don't need)
Presumably you meant to say "insanely inefficient"?

I think the difference, right now at least, is that people will go, "well, I'm not sure about this so I think we should look it up, but this is what I think" - the AI doesn't do that. It lies in the same exact way it tells truths. How are you supposed to make decisions based off of that information?
Does it lie? Or just get things wrong sometimes?
Lying requires knowledge that what you are saying is not the truth, and usually there's a motive for doing so.
I don't think ChatGPT is there yet... or is it?
The only thing I didn't like was the Ethernet connectors. So many fragile and mutually incompatible dongles. The double height cards avoided this issue, but they were fairly short lived.
Of course now it is the USB port that is fragile instead, so when it breaks it requires a full mainboard replacement.
And USB-C sockets are much more robust than USB-A sockets

The 3com card with the minimal pop out Ethernet socket [1] was super cool but it was rather fragile, especially if someone tripped over the cable!

Cool, though I wonder if you could get away with compiling Quake to WASM and running it in Apple Watch's browser. Perhaps the FPS there would have been far too poor.
It already exists, see http://www.quakejs.com/
I don't have an Apple Watch but it would be interesting to know what happens when you fire it up on one.
While probably not an ideal solution for the parent poster, who understandably wants to make things work with their existing Sonos gear, the A1392 is an outstanding value at this point because there are absolute truckloads of them on eBay for ~$20.
Assuming you're okay with AirPlay (which, admittedly, rules a lot of HN folks out) this is a $20-per-room device that gives you full lossless multiroom streaming including your choice of analog or optical out. Really great.
I have two Chromecast Audio devices which similarly provide both analogue and optical digital outputs, but they seem to be much more expensive second hand than the Airplay alternative.
