I don't think the nasal route is good for me. Brain doesn't like it, body doesn't like it, it just feels extremely miserable. I think I tried it before the ketamine spray, but it would just dry out my nose and it was really painful and it just felt so awful that I couldn't manage to dose myself enough to have a good effect before I just couldn't bear to take any more. It's awful and terrible and I hate it.

Which sucks, because I really feel like dissociatives would be nice. I've taken memantine orally and it was nice, although it took really long to wear off, and also after a while it made me throw up all over my expensive tech, which was very not fun. Ketamine though I haven't found an adequate way to take.

> And?

And you set up your own monitoring systems for your own infrastructure, as you have always done.

Or better yet, set up auto-renewal as per vendors recommendation.

Vendors - especially vendors you aren't paying - may provide some reminder services, but assuming those to be your sole method for 'managing' your renewals is a deeply poor operational position.

This is going to get really important as cert longevity gets reduced, eg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43693900

Open graph essentially provides thumbnails and title data for a news article or publication as links, so the news article returned a header image that displays in the tweet "preview"

In this case the Tweet would have been

> TWEET > linked article with open graph image

When exported the author then returned that same open graph info on their personal site, thus rendering a copyrighted image without a license.

What you say makes sense, but I think there can be reasons. For our military customers we offer an air-gapped version of our app early on because it was easier for customers than getting an ATO. Also as a bootstrapped company it was a lot cheaper than FedRAMP. I'm guessing I'd lean on a similar strategy if I had a health care startup.

I assume they mean you don't need to modify the device's hardware or hack any software – you just need to include a blob in your ROM's header (which RGBFIX will automatically insert for you, if you're using the RGBDS toolchain).

Plus, Sega v. Accolade killed that practice. I don't think anyone has tried to enforce it since.

> In the context of the US, is recognizing a government different from recognizing a country?

In the context of anyone, it depends on what changed. The Iranian Revolution changed Iran's government but not borders or existence. Kosovo, on the other hand, created both a new government and a new state.

> the important distinction here is that the PRC is the claimant to the ROC, so they have a straightforward and very strong motivation to thwart their recognition at all costs, as to avoid delegitimizing their own claims on it. The US, on the other hand, is a complete third party to either Israel or Palestine

Direct versus indirect. Go back to the Cold War (or perhaps more accurately, decolonisation) and the USSR and U.S. were doing this by proxy, too. (And everyone was doing it, almost out of necessity, during the world wars.)

My point is this sort of posturing is deeply precedented when geopolitical maps change because the loser has nothing to lose and something to gain from holding off recognition of whatever just changed. (Even if that gain is just not having to deal with it right now.)

If you want a more-direct example, it would be Pakistan supporting Beijing over its claims over Arunachal Pradesh. Pakistan does this because India is its enemy and China its ally. In the Middle East, Iran is America's enemy and Israel its ally. What the people in Arunachal Pradesh or Palestine think about the matter sort of gets swept under the rug. (Or Beijing giving lip service or North Korea and Iran arms to support Russia's invasion of Ukraine, if you want to rule out the size influence factor.)

> This is a problem when standards are pushed by US tech companies but don't consider the rest of the world.

What would have changed? This isn’t a problem that can be solved in a protocol. Even if a field was added for license information, it wouldn’t actually constitute a license if someone put the wrong info into the field (claiming to license content they didn’t own). It also wouldn’t have solved anything if there was an implied license for use on, e.g., social media sites as the author re-hosted it on their own domain.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame the tech companies for making a protocol. It’s up to the users to confirm their country allows the usage.

My initial reaction to this is that the licensor is a scammer and the author just got fleeced. I don’t know much about the law in the UK, but this tactic is almost identical to the one media licensing companies in the US used to go after old ladies whose grandkids had torrented movies on their internet connections. At least in the US there are many jurisdictions now where those types of cases are just immediately thrown out.

The main difference I see here is the author got bit by an automated tool. It really should be more or less considered a clerical error. I don’t see how paying $1000 is easier or cheaper than just showing up to court if asked and arguing your use was both easy to occur by mistake and didn’t represent anywhere near that value. This strategy has several advantages, among them being not having to pay until the court has ruled, which is a huge deterrent to shops like this. Just being willing to go to court automatically lowers the price you’ll end up paying. But if you don’t show that willingness you’re paying full price, even with the fakery about the 10% discount.

Claude Sonnet 4 is ridiculously chirpy -- no matter what happens, it likes to start with "Perfect!" or "You're absolutely right!" and everything! seems to end! with an exclamation point!

Gemini Pro 2.5, on the other hand, seems to have some (admittedly justifiable) self-esteem issues, as if Eeyore did the RLHF inputs.

"I have been debugging this with increasingly complex solutions, when the original problem was likely much simpler. I have wasted your time."

"I am going to stop trying to fix this myself. I have failed to do so multiple times. It is clear that my contributions have only made things worse."

Just a caution: Many "Free" images are likely actually scraped. I've learned to be careful. I usually use images from only a couple of places (including paid sources), because I really don't trust many "royalty-free" image sources. I have also taken to providing source links in the image captions.

One of the good things (maybe) about AI-generated images, is that you could generate an image that only exists for your article. The rub is that the generator may be giving you an image that is close enough to a copyrighted one, that you could still be sued.

I think that fonts could have the same problem.

Import taxes can affect the price of, say, yoga classes. Not direcly of course (unless maybe you're following a correspondence/video course from India where you need to buy imported tapes), but you can think of it like this:

The price of food is based on the price of domestic produce and the price of imports. If taxes are levied on food imports it will raise the mean price of food. As yoga instructors need food to do their job (in fact, they need it to live), they would have to raise their prices.

I’m trying to think of a response to this that’s hacker news-worthy,

But it’s kind of astounding, if there goal is to get a group of conspiracy theorists off their scent, it seems like they’ve perhaps handled this in the worst possible way? Could this look any worse?

What would you do differently if you were trying to appear more suspicious?

“This undermines the entire point of the open graph protocol (at least for images). If you have to manually review every image that you include then what's the point in it being a machine protocol?”

Bingo.

Ianal but it feels like if you provide an image via an open graph link, you’re implicitly licensing that image to consumers of the Open Graph protocol to be displayed alongside a link/link metadata.

If the media company didn’t have the rights to relicense that image for consumption via Open Graph and/or the original licensor didn’t want their images appearing via Open Graph, that media company shouldn’t be using Open Graph.

That is such a frustrating situation. I hope the courts would have ruled in your favor but I understand why you chose not to test it.

Thanks for recommending thingino. I’ve seen couple of other projects over the years that allowed swapping out the firmware on cheap Chinese manufactured wifi cams. But thingino is the first one that has support for the cameras I actually own. I stopped using those cameras after I moved over to Unifi. But this might give some of those cheap cams a new life and can probably find some use for them.

I tend to like the ethos/logos/pathos model. Arguments from clever people can sound convincing because ethos gets mixed in. And anyone can temporarily confuse someone by using pathos. This is why it's better to have arguments externalized in a form that can be reviewed on their own, logos only. It's the only style that can stand on its own without that ephemeral effect (aside from facts changing), and it's also the only one that can be adopted and owned by any listener that reviews it and proves it true to themselves.

Neither the World Press Freedom Index nor the Freedom of Expression Index are particularly good measures of government restrictions on individual's speech.

The former includes things like how much editorial control journalists are subjected to, the right of journalists to unionize, the cost to print/distribute newspapers, whether journalists are subject to economic constraints (like being dependent on advertising money), etc.

The later is not only far more opaque in how it measures things, relying on a panel of country-specific experts, but it also more press/media related and includes things like media bias and print/media perspectives which is more about diversity of press opinion than freedom of expression (arguably, media bias shouldn't negative affect a freedom of expression index unless it is government imposed).

A more objective comparison of freedom of expression/speech would rate how the government would respond to specific instances of public and private speech - like say calling for the king/president/prime minister/etc. to be replaced, posting nudes (or going nude), blaspheme a particular religion, publishing embarrassing and reputation harming information about a celebrity/someone powerful/a judge/a religious figure, playing loud music outside, refusing to speak when ordered to by a police/judge/legislature/ruler, wearing the clothes various sexes, etc.

It might be difficult to create perfectly equivalent speech across countries, but I think one could get close enough.

As much as Bloomberg used to be a great business resource, it seems a bit bias now and the paywall is super annoying. However I’d still consider it a legitimate source.

I can say from my supply chain experience, which I can’t really disclose, other than to say it’s substantial in my world, I directly negotiate purchases from Asia (various regions) of between $25 million to $75 million per year.

If those statements are in conflict with my various NDAs then it was a typo.

Moving on, since the tariffs have hit, the deals I’ve negotiated have had substantial pre tariff discounts. For example, a widget that used to cost me $219k before tariff now costs me $159k plus tariff.

My takeaway is yes, consumers are going to pay more as the post tariff price is higher than the pre tariff price. BUT the suppliers are taking haircuts, and they are getting more aggressive with eachother. The Chinese government doesn’t want to directly say they are going to further subsidize production costs in China due to American tariffs, but some of this is happening and may accelerate as demand further drops. Just my humble opinion.

I’ll echo what others are saying about four days preventing burnout and leaving mental space for other activities.

Just for last year, I went back to five days to get something out the door. Being there every day with my team was nice, and I balanced the heavy mental work with exercise at night or on weekends. But hobby coding — or writing or anything requiring mental juice — stopped entirely. By the end of the year as we got close to shipping, I was drifting into that “what the hell am I spending my life for” mindset.

Going back to four days this year fixed it. Each work day is still mentally exhausting, but I’ve been using my day off for personal stuff and, randomly, to practice slack lining with a small group of flexible friends. I’m so grateful to have this option.

Wouldn't the problem lie entirely within some publication serving an image that they didn't have the right to sublicense, through a protocol explicitly meant to be shared on other people's websites?

Like the "media company" said, I think you should make a claim against the site you linked to. Their redistribution of the image through a protocol meant to show up embedded on other people's sites is an implicit claim that they have the right to sublicense the image.

edit: the claim would be a favor. Just ask them for what you paid, and charge them for your time. They'll pay you with petty cash and get their lawyer to come up with an image policy to avoid difficulties in future.

Anyway, websites don't like hearing that people can get sued for linking to them.

Just to be clear, I don't think there's anything fundamentaly wrong with using AI to write code.

But just to make sure I got this right, I looked it up on Wikipedia:

> "Karpathy described it as "fully giving in to the vibes, embracing exponentials, and forgetting that the code even exists."

> "A key part of the definition of vibe coding is that the user accepts code without full understanding"

> "If an LLM wrote every line of your code, but you've reviewed, tested, and understood it all, that's not vibe coding in my book—that's using an LLM as a typing assistant."

> Many other cameras, particularly those with aggressive UV-IR cut filters, underespond to H-a, resulting in dim and blueish nebula. Often people rip out those filters (astro-modification), but this usually results in the camera overresponding instead.

Hmm... astrophotographers do not use cameras with UV-IR cut filters at all. For example, I owned a few of these:

https://www.zwoastro.com/product-category/cameras/dso_cooled...

They also generally do not use sensors that have Bayer filters. This also screws things up.

Instead they use monochromatic sensors with narrowband filters (either one band or multiple) over them keyed to specific celestial emissions. The reason for this is that it gets rid of light pollution that is extensive and bumps up the signal to noise for the celestial items, especially the small faint details. Stuff like this:

https://telescopescanada.ca/products/zwo-4-piece-31mm-ha-sii...

https://telescopescanada.ca/products/zwo-duo-band-filter

Often these are combined with a true color capture (or individual RGBL narrowband) just to get the stars coloured properly.

Almost everything you see in high end astrophotography is false color because they map these individual narrowband captures on the monochrome sensors to interesting colours and often spending a lot of time manipulating the individual channels.

This is done at the medium to high end using the PixInsight software - including by NASA for the recent James Webb images: https://www.pbs.org/video/new-eye-on-the-universe-zvzqn1/

The James Web telescope has a set of 29 narrowband filters for its main sensor: https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-near-infrared-camera/nircam...

The newspaper distributed the image. They said, "Here, use this image on the link to our story". They effectively sub-licensed it. If the 'owner' had a problem with that, they needed to take it up with the newspaper.

As such, the OP was under the impression the image was free to use in that context. Only once they were informed that was not the case did they become libel. They could have then licensed the photo for the 20 pounds and been done with it. Or just deleted the link off of their website (and also been done with it.)

Even in English law there's 'intent'. The OP had no intent to offend and shouldn't have paid; by feeding the troll they've unfortunately done the world a disservice, although I do empathize with their decision-making.

I don't think the troll would have gone to court, a negative precedent would have been bad for their 'business'.

I could have been clearer.

The comment I replied to read as if the liberal arts are predicated on producing language rather than language with utility, which is something I’ve heard before coming from people who, often, have no real exposure to those areas of academia. I wasn’t attempting to paint with a broad brush in general terms across all of history or litigate specific schools of thought.

It’s certainly true that those disciplines rely on the production of language in much the same way (at least in application) as computer science relies on the production of some kind of logical expression device (be it an electronic abacus or a web application, or a paper formally analyzing an ISA).

I was thinking about how futile the whole thing is... I just know this money will never be mine, and I will work until I die (if I'm lucky enough). Oh well, I guess better get some sleep, back to the office tomorrow...

Intel already has a great value GPU. Everyone wants them to disrupt the game, destroy the product niches. It's general purpose compute performance is quite ass alas but maybe that doesn't matter for AI?

I'm not sure if there are higher capacity gddr6 & 7's rams to buy. I semi doubt you can add more without more channels, to some degree, but also, AMD just shipped R9700 based on rx9070 but with double the ram. But something like Strix Halo, an API with more lpddr channels could work. Word is that Strix Halo's 2027 successor Medusa Halo will go to 6 channels and it's hard to see a significant advantage without that win; the processing is already throughput constrained-ish and a leap on memory bandwidth will definitely be required. Dual channel 128b isn't enough!

There's also MRDIMMs standard, which multiplexes multiple chips. That promises a doubling of both capacity and throughout.

Apple's definitely done two brilliant costly things, by putting very wide (but not really fast) memory on package (Intel had dabbled in doing similar with regular width ram in consumer space a while ago with Lakefield). And then by tiling multiple cores together, making it so that if they had four perfect chips next to each other they could ship it as one. Incredibly brilliant maneuver to get fantastic yields, and to scale very big.

This is the new source of income and a lot of media orgs are getting paid - take ANI in India.

Theyve been hitting YouTubers like Mohak Mangal, Nitish Rajput, Dhruv Rathee with copyright strikes for using just a few seconds of news clips which you would think is fair use.

Then they privately message creators demanding $60000 to remove the strikes or else the channel gets deleted after the third strike.

It s not about protecting content anymore it's copyright extortion. Fair use doesn't matter. System like Youtube makes it easy to abuse and nearly impossible to fight.

It s turning into a business model: pay otherwise your channels with millions of subs get deleted

>Advertising also generates several million dollars, Mr. Schwartzman said.

Depending on if they mean per month, that seems like more than their patreon income.

The patreon system is very interesting, I pay one creator on there, and it really does seem to provide some of them some real independence from the free platforms like youtube, or the very closed platforms like spotify.

In addtion some youtube channels that have substantial patreon followings seem a lot more chill. The inevitable "youtub-isms" of yelling and outrage and drama seem less inevitable when the channel has reliable income based on not having to video to video increase views and etc. In a way I think it has made some parts of youtube better.

Ugh, yes, I could not wrap my mind around QML either. I've dabbled in SwiftUI as a hobbyist and find it generally easy to use, though I do agree that the traditional Storyboard approach is easier to wrap my head around (also an amateur hobbyist there, with emphasis on amateur).

My experience is that iteration and development speed in SwiftUI is noticeably faster, but once your app reaches some level of stasis and maturity, the Storyboard approach is more robust and easier to manage and understand. I have some thoughts on why but we'll save that for another day.

My favorite UI framework as a developer is egui [0] with Dear ImGui [1] in second place.

Unfortunately, Dear ImGui is ugly as sin. egui is decent enough.

My understanding is that SwiftUI was Apple's direct response to React/Vue.
