I didnt say any of that. You dont need to put words into my mouth to "win an argument".

I think it is reasonable to assume that most popular YTers are in a discord/telegram/whatsapp/text chain together. This is their community, so it makes sense to have a quick line of comms between them.

Just like how HN is a place for .. hackers to socialize, it is conceivable there's a $place where they meet and discuss inside-baseball stuff.

> esims can't be cloned (e.g. sim swapping attack)

This is incorrect. eSIMs are no different from physical SIMs once provisioned. The only difference is that instead of you having a physical smartcard, there is now a JavaCard-compatible card (embedded on the logic board or emulated by the modem) that gets provisioned remotely.

SIM swap attacks have nothing to do with your physical (or emulated) SIM, they were always about a social engineering attack onto the carrier's staff to replace the (e?)SIM associated with your account. eSIMs actually do make this easier because instead of the attacker having to show up in person at a store to pick up a physical SIM they can skip that step and do the whole process online.

> simply removed from a stolen phone like physical sims

If this is an attack vector you care about, you can enable a SIM PIN. In fact, this also works with eSIM if you really want to. But beware, doing so means once a phone reboots it will not have a data connection so things like Find My iPhone/etc won't work.

Now imagine if someone combined Jia Tan patience with swiss-cheese security like all of our editor plugins and nifty shell user land stuff and all that.

Developer stuff is arguably the least scrutinized thing that routinely runs as mega root.

I wish I could say that I audit every elisp, neovim, vscode plugin and every nifty modern replacement for some creaky GNU userland tool. But bat, zoxide, fzf, atuin, starship, viddy, and about 100 more? Nah, I get them from nixpkgs in the best case, and I've piped things to sh.

Write a better VSCode plugin for some terminal panel LLM gizmo, wait a year or two?

Can anyone comment on near term success of the prostate cancer trial? Asking for a friend.

> The findings have sparked a number of other clinical trials that the Ravetch lab is currently collaborating on with researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering and Duke University. Now in either phase 1 or phase 2 study, the trials are investigating 2141-V11’s effect on specific cancers, including bladder cancer, prostate cancer, and glioblastoma—all aggressive and hard to treat. Collectively, nearly 200 people are enrolled in the studies.

It seems like the only solution is going to be an FDR style president that sort of runs up against traditional liberties in order to to build. I do wonder if an interesting quirk of the current president essentially consolidated executive power for questionable reasons, leads to a candidate that uses some of those changes to bulldoze these types of projects back into America.

It’s a weird new world for sure out there and honestly everyone is going through this.

Even the CIA had to stand up a whole new department years ago when the realised they even with all of their tradecraft and gadgets they couldn’t even move around London without the Brits knowing about it and had to totally change how they did business as a result. It’s not just an average protestor on the street problem at all.

I think a big part of the problem comes from this idea that you’re trying to be invisible and you keep running into all these new layers of problems all the damned time.

Maybe I’m using E2EE apps but the people I’m talking with take screenshots and run them through co-pilot or put them into their iCloud backups or a million other scenarios. It just feels like such an unwinnable game sometimes that you can very easily and convincingly get yourself to a place where you feel overwhelmed and you just freeze which is such a trap in and of itself.

I’d recommend keeping the illegal activity side of things extremely fucking low to non-existent personally and everything else will become much simpler as a result. It’s much easier to just not have evidence than trying to hide it. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do things with a sense of purpose though. There are many ways to frustrate the opposition, to tie up their resources, to send them on wild goose chases, to wear down their morale that are all firmly in the legal category.

That's a great piece of marketing straight out of Apple's Big Number Book of Important Numbers, but _who the fuck cares_ ?

Aside from a tiny amount of nerds needing post hoc rationalisation as to why they blew $1500 on a gimmick, absolutely nobody will go looking for a phone and consider grams/mm² as an important measure.

Hi HN, I’ve been working on adl-cli - a command-line tool to scaffold AI agents using ADL (Agent Definition Language).

Define your agent once in YAML (tools, prompts, providers).

Run `adl generate` to get a full project: code, CI/CD, Docker, tests. The all that's left is to implement the skills (business logic).

Works with multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Mistral, etc.).

GitOps-friendly and vendor-agnostic.

If you're tired of boilerplate and want a declarative, reproducible way to build agents, check it out and let me know what you think about it :)

> As far as that one rich individual is concerned, their debt to the workers stops when he gives them the money

Only if it was the employer that originally extended the debt and it is the worker repaying the debt with their labor. Otherwise the employer still has a debt outstanding. The IOUs are distributed, so, practically speaking, that debt may be to another entity (e.g. a bank), but it really makes no difference how many other people get involved. No matter how you slice it, the math is all the same.

Offshoring might frequently be a disaster. On the other hand, Microsoft and the rest of FAANG and other large tech companies have had overseas development centers staffed by full fledged FTEs for many years now with, as far as anyone can tell, success. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any reason they couldn't expand those.

GrapheneOS made our own integration of MTE for hardened_malloc and has done significant work on it. It wasn't simply something we turned on. ARM designed and built the feature which was made available in Cortex cores. Google's Tensor uses standard Cortex cores so unlike Qualcomm they didn't need to make their own implementation. Google integrated it into Android and did some work to make it available on Pixels along with fixing many bugs it uncovered, although definitely not all of them. We had to fix many of the issues. Apple had to make their own hardware implementation because they have their own cores, which Qualcomm finally got done too.

Pixels are not the only Android devices with MTE anymore and haven't been for a while. We've tried it on a Samsung tablet which we would have liked to be able to support if Samsung allowed it and did a better job with updates.

GrapheneOS is not a 1 person project and not a hobby project. I wasn't the one to implement MTE for hardened_malloc and have not done most of the work on it. The work was primarily done by Dmitry Muhomor who is the lead developer of GrapheneOS and does much more development work on the OS than I do. That has been the case for years. GrapheneOS is not my personal project.

We've done a large amount of work on it including getting bugs fixed in Linux, AOSP and many third party apps. Our users are doing very broad testing of Android apps with MTE and reporting issues to developers. There's a specific crash reporting system we integrated for it to help users provide usable information to app developers. The hard part is getting apps to deal with their memory corruption bugs and eventually Google is going to need to push for that by enabling heap MTE by default at a new target API level. Ideally stack allocation MTE would also be used but it has a much higher cost than heap MTE which Apple and Google are unlikely to want to introduce for production use.

Android apps were historically largely written in Java which means they have far fewer memory corruption bugs than desktop software and MTE is far easier to deploy than it otherwise would be. Still, there are a lot of native libraries and certain kinds of apps such as AAA games with far more native code have much bigger issues with MTE.

The 17 Pro has a much higher resolution camera than the 13 Pro, so even if you center crop of a photo taken with the 2x optical zoom to get you what you'd see with a 3x, it will still be higher resolution than the same photo taken with the 13 Pro.

That said, I too like a 70 mm lens, but I long ago got used to just moving closer to or further away from subjects to take photos with dedicated cameras depending on what lens I had on.

> Plex mysteriously began refusing remote connections, so I couldn't share with my friend outside my home LAN.

Same issue for me. The client app used to have a "remote servers" configuration option. You had to manually set up port forwarding and get the configuration perfect, which I suspect was beyond your average Joe. But once you did it was rock solid.

They now have some automagic arrangement based on uPnP which anybody can use, when it works. But it doesn't always work and because they've removed the old manual option when it doesn't work, there is no remote access for you. You would hope they would add some debugging and doco to give you some visibility into what it depends on so you can isolate the problem, but no, they provide nothing.

The law is extremely specific about this one, and this is constitutional law that overrules all other laws.

A government institution cannot promote any one religion. It's fine to have a multi-denominational non-secular common worship area. You can also promote religion as a general concept, but not a specific religion.

Whether this rule is followed or enforced properly is an entirely separate problem that we are apparently still grappling with.

FYI no reasonable lawyer is going to take a constructive dismissal or defamation claim for this case, like some aggressive commenters are instructing people to do.

These aren't winnable claims. If a lawyer did take your case and start billing you for it, they're just milking you for cash until the inevitable dismissal.

This is why the "I'm not a lawyer, but" advice on the internet isn't as benign as it seems. It gives some people false ideas about what lawyers can do for them which leads to a lot of wasted time talking to lawyers at best, or a lot of wasted money on a dead-end case at worst.

Our start-up is essentially the anti-thesis of this.

We've had bathroom scales for over a century, yet as a society, we are more obese than ever.

More data isn't the answer, and all this talk about "insights" is just re-packaging of that data.

Next generation wearables go beyond harvesting data and showing pretty graphs. They directly affect our biology, physiology, and neurophysiology in real-time to improve our health. That's why we call them Affectables. Wearables that affect.

We're beginning by focusing on enhancing the restorative function of sleep. Not more sleep, not falling asleep faster, but the directly affecting the neurological processes that define the health benefits of sleep.

> It’s not a big enough slice for them to want to chase.

Typical strat for them is not to be first with an innovation, but to wait and work out the kinks enough that they can convince people that the tradeoffs are well worth making. Apple wouldn't be chasing that existing slice, they'd be trying to entice a larger share of their customers to upgrade faster.

A point of clarifications and some questions.

The portion the court said was bad was not Anthropic getting books from pirated sites to train its model. The court opined that training the model was fair use and did not distinguish between getting the books from pirated sites or hard copy scans. The part the court said was bad, which was settled, was Anthropic getting books from a pirate site to store in a general purpose library.

--

"To summarize the analysis that now follows, the use of the books at issue to train Claude and its precursors was exceedingly transformative and was a fair use under Section 107 of the Copyright Act. And, the digitization of the books purchased in print form by Anthropic was. also a fair use but not for the same reason as applies to the training copies. Instead, it was a fair use because all Anthropic did was replace the print copies it had purchased for its central library with more convenient space-saving and searchable digital copies for its central library — without adding new copies, creating new works, or redistributing existing copies. However, Anthropic had no entitlement to use pirated copies for its central library. Creating a permanent, general-purpose library was not itself a fair use excusing Anthropic’s piracy." "Because the legal issues differ between the *library copies* Anthropic purchased and pirated, this order takes them in turn."

--

Questions

As an author do you think it matters where the book was copied from? Presumably, a copyright gives the author the right to control when a text is reproduced and distributed. If the AI company buys a book and scans it, they are reproducing the book without a license, correct? And fair use is the argument that even though they violated the copyright, they are execused. In a pure sense, if the AI company copied (assuming they didn't torrent back the book) from a "pirate source" why is that copy worse then if they copied from a hard book?

This is not an interesting debate. There are two terms in common use. I didn't make either of them up. One is coercive and Orwellian; the other, according to you, is imprecise. I'll live with the imprecision.

If you want to call a disclosure "irresponsible", be prepared to litigate based on the facts of that particular case; there are very few universal ethical rules of disclosure, and those few are only rarely broken in blog posts.

Two paragraphs from the article that I think sum it up pretty nicely:

> Judge William Alsup at the hearing said the motion to approve the deal was denied without prejudice, but in a minute order after the hearing said approval is postponed pending submission of further clarifying information.

> Alsup said class members “get the shaft” in many class actions once the monetary relief is established and attorneys stop caring. He told the parties that “very good notice” must be given to class members to ensure they have the opportunity to opt in or out, and protect Anthropic from potential claimants coming out of the woodwork later.

Essentially he has concerns about missing details in two directions:

1. How class members are going to get notified, submit claims, and paid out, what works are even included, and the involvement of an army of lawyers that shouldn't be paid from the settlement.

2. How this deal is going to prevent Anthropic getting sued for cases that should have been covered.

> What did we gain from this?

The steelman argument would be that we have provided a way for folks who felt excluded to now feel more represented.

And just repeating that yellow is abstract and inclusive doesn't address the fact that it's objectively far closer to representing people of lighter complexion than those with significantly darker complexion. The latter group has suffered centuries of oppression and exclusion, often based solely on their appearance, so it's an issue that impacts them differently.

Even "The Simpsons" has introduced characters with darker complexions alongside their yellow toned cast.

>I’m not sure that we ever figured out teaching methodologies that work for all children.

This is a fundamental problem with all learning: it's difficult to get entire group to do something the same way with equal effectiveness... that being said, teaching methods are evolving and it's really on the school system to embrace those changes. My kids are young, and their school teaches math with the Singapore Math system and literacy with the UFLI program. They have both been highly effective.

Their class sizes are also 12:1 students:teacher ratio, and 6:1 in Pre-K/Kindergarten. So that's also probably important.

Well shit, that's really unfortunate for a lot of people.

...but sexytime "choking" has an entire range of intensity that is more about intimacy and physical touch and doesn't restrict airflow or blood flow at all.

If a 14 year old watches porn and decides to copy what they see, that is a failure of sex education. Every child needs to be taught fairly graphic and frank realities of sex, sexuality, and sexual activity.

For some reason, this is basically only difficult in parts of the US.

Well there is another issue: trust in the dollar is waning, so central banks have been buying gold. If Trump messes too much with the fed's independence, this can only get worse.. One source theorizes that his admin. is doing this not so much to lower interest rates, but to get the fed to reduce interest it pays to banks for money they keep at the fed (a thing that started after the GFC). The idea is that then the banks would buy treasuries instead, which might reduce the debt payment burden on the government.

Anyway... gold is all about wealth preservation, not growth, so I don't know what to tell you. But it is up 44% over the last year.

Please also see the last sentence, that you missed entirely:

This sentence strongly implies, nearly directly states, that I, in fact, do NOT know their rational.

If WFH is a good deal for both sides (in a particular industry), I would expect new entrants to use it as a competitive advantage against existing businesses (likely hiring away talented staff). I agree that web-tech business formation seems depressed, but WFH should eventually win the day if it is all that advocates say.

I expect WFH will expect, while remaining relatively niche, much like worker co-operatives.

Goodheart's Law strikes again. If churning through 10 more tickets rather than brainstorming with a team on a feature gets them promoted, then you're going to get a "team" of loners and much less productivity for the real features.

I do think there is a balance here. In my experience, brainstorming or deep design discussions are horrible over Zoom. Likewise, new grads really do suffer when they start their careers with no direct mentor to talk to at a moments notice.

I think even just the first year or 2 for juniors should be at least 3 days in-office a week. Likewise, you should be able to go in office a few times a month just to properly collaborate and plan. It doesn't need to be much in tech, because a lot of time is indeed just heads-down development instead of designing.

1. Unrepresentable in S8 2. Representable in U8 as shown in my above comment. 3. Representable in S16 as 0x0080 but then the sign bit is not set.

> if it wasn’t for the fact that the 12 and 13 mini were larger than the iPhone 6 and 6S which for many people was too large.

I don't get why people make statements like this.

6: 2.64 (W) x 5.44 (H) x .27 (D)

6s: 2.64 (W) x 5.44 (H) x .28 (D)

13 mini: 2.53 (W) x 5.14 (H) x 0.30 (D)

The only dimension in which the mini was larger than the 6 or 6s was in depth, and that was just barely. It was smaller otherwise.

It did have a larger display, but it fit it into a smaller device.

----

All iPhones before the iPhone 6 were smaller than the 12 and 13 minis. The 1st gen SE was smaller. Everything from 6 on, including the 2nd and 3rd gen SEs, have been larger, though barely for the SEs. The downside to the SEs compared to the minis was that they have smaller displays than the minis.

What about cheaper, bigger displays? I want something that's ~16" but doesn't cost an arm and a leg, for displaying sheet music. Still haven't found anything that's suitable. Plenty of people I know use the 13" iPad Pro, but between the glare (stage lights can be intense) and the roughly-letter-paper size, I still prefer sheets of paper.
