In the clips and in a full video of the event, audience members in the Palo Alto City Council chambers are seen interrupting the proceedings and making false statements. The event mirrored other public meetings in the Bay Area since Oct. 7 where pro-Palestinian activists have vilified Israel and either defended Hamas as a "resistance" movement or denied its brutality on that day.

Julie Lythcott-Haims, a candidate who is currently a member of the Palo Alto City Council, faced more of the vitriol.

"I deplore the actions of Hamas on October 7th," she said, to one loud "boo!" from a female audience member.

"Really? Really?" Lythcott-Haims said. "They butchered people, murdered people, raped people and took hostages."

At mention of the word "raped," the audience exploded with anger. Amid the swell of noise, a boy draped in a Palestinian flag yelled about Hamas: "They did not murder anyone!"

When organizers regained control of the room, Lythcott-Haims said: "I did not know that that would be a controversial statement."

tl;dr from the article:

• Auracast is a feature of the Bluetooth LE Audio standard that enables broadcasting audio to nearby devices.
• Android added basic support for Bluetooth LE Audio in Android 13, including support for starting and connecting to audio streams.
• Android 15 could get a dedicated page for audio sharing, signaling that Auracast could be a key feature of the new OS.

Screenshots from the article of how the feature would look like:

I was looking at my books and thought it might be a good idea to hear what programming books you're reading and which ones you would be recommending and hopefully we could build a nice reading list.

I'll start with these two:

• C++ Software Design by Klaus Iglberger: the author is a stellar presenter at conferences like CppCon (you get the contents of his book essentially for free in his talks which are on YouTube, just Google "Breaking dependencies by Klaus Iglberger"). This book is a must-have if your issue is not programming skill itself but more design-related instead and you want to learn how to write high-quality professional software with maintainability in mind. This easily replaces the classic Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software as Klaus' book is more modern and embraces at least C++17 with e.g. variants;
• Game Programming Patterns by Robert Nystrom: this is not about game design! This is about classic C++ patterns (implementable in other languages as well though) that you'll need if you're about to write a game, and I think one can easily see that the patterns and techniques are transposable to other domains like web browser development or even automatic differentiation.

Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:

• Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.

• The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.

• There's speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.
