> While the ATProto system has been criticized as overly complicated compared to the ActivityPub system that powers the Fediverse, it has one key feature that ActivityPub lacks: the ability to transfer servers while keeping all of your followers and posts.

FWIW, it looks like Mastodon software has some features for moving servers, including bringing your followers, but not your posts:

> Why do you think we have fully self driving cars instead of just more simplistic beacon systems?

While the self-driving car industry aims to replace all humans with machines, I don't think this is the case with browser automation.

I see this technology as more similar to a crash dummy than a self-driving system. It's designed to simulate a human in very niche scenarios.

Likely cataloging IMSIs and IMEIs which would not constitute a wiretap. I know from experience these circles are concerned about roving protestors and agitators.

These sort of metrics can also be used with commercially available RTB data if and when cases go to court. I'm about 90% certain they ARE NOT intercepting phone calls and I'm 80% certain they're not intercepting sms

> The ability to drag windows from any point? That's horrible for people who like to click on stuff without intention to drag a window.

Not OP, but that's not the way it works - you'll need to press a modifier key (typically Alt or Win/Meta) along with the drag operation, so you can't do it accidentally. And you can always turn it off from the settings if you don't like this behaviour.

> I do agree that Linux should be preferred today for most people who are just starting out on computers

Why just single out newbies? Even old fogies can switch to Windows. My 70yr old mum used all versions of Windows from 3.1 - 7, and she switched to Linux about a decade ago, starting with Mint, and now on Aurora. She does all the basic tasks most PC users do (surfing the web, editing docs, printing/scanning, backing up photos etc) and has zero issues. If my mum - and old school Windows user - can use Linux, so can anyone else.

Just use a sensible distro with sane defaults (like Aurora), or a DE with a sane GUI (KDE or XFCE) and you'll be fine. The core UI /UX paradigms is the same as Windows, you just need to have an open mind and take your time getting used to the differences.

Naturally there are some people who can't deal with change, so Linux may never be an option for them, but for other folks, unless the have a legit reason to stick to Windows (like dependency on some proprietary app/workflow), Linux is a pretty viable option these days.

I feel like nextcloud replacement is out of scope ?

I mostly felt like Timelize was about being *behind* data-generating applications and showing and cross-referencing their data when reading the website.

I think the way is to do some sort of nextcloud extension that puts data into Timeline.

I also saw it tracks "documents" on the website but I didn't try it yet, and I would hope it can use external document sources that are already processing documents like paperless for example (which I am already using and liking)

Someone can break out their chemistry references, but I think N₂O is probably not workable as a fuel (or at best, not very good). It forms naturally in internal combustion engines, from air, at the temperature and pressures found in engines, given O₂ and N₂. If something has the habit of forming in an engine, I don’t think you could use it as fuel, but my thermodynamics is a bit too rusty to do any kind of ELI5 and I could just be wrong here. At the very least, it would be difficult to use or inefficient.

It decomposes into N₂ and O₂ at normal atmospheric temperatures and pressures, outside an engine.

These people are shuffled around the country without their lawyers being informed and are “lost” in the system for long stretches of time without representation.

This means they can’t prove if they are here legally or not.

Furthermore, the administration wants to end birthright citizenship, which they will no doubt aim to make retroactive. Not being able to prove citizenship or status means (according to you) that you have no rights. anybody born here or otherwise will subject to this process and unable to prove their citizenship.

And again, the treatment these people are receiving is absolutely heinous, especially considering that they’ve not been charged with or found guilty of a violent crime.

I’m not sure about specific rules around who can appeal to the Supreme Court, nor am I sure why such an appeal has been mentioned… but once people on American soil lose basic rights we all do. All it takes is being ACCUSED of the right non-violent crime and then you have absolutely zero rights and are treated like an animal.

We should be better than this even if the law doesn’t say we have to be (which it does). If folks are here illegally and subject to deportation, prove it. Don’t hide them in the system and deprive them of representation.

I’m not sure what an undocumented (or documented but missing some arbitrary checkbox) person did to you but I can assure you it doesn’t mean that person or others should be subjected to this treatment in a civilized society.

I don't expect most drivers will miss the seat controls. Tesla syncs your seat settings to your profile, so the main drivers never touch the controls, just the passenger. But that's easy for me to say when I already know what driving one is like, this is yet another thing that makes Teslas and EVs intimidating to someone driving one for the first time. Otherwise it doesn't seem like much of a sacrifice for $5k. I like the glass roof but not that much.

Speaker Johnson just had a very revealing comment on his stance.

He wants Democrats to "wake up".

Aww, cry me a river, too late now all wokeness of any kind has died and gone to heaven.

He's going to have to work with what his own party has to offer, wake up with some of his closet colleagues who've been asleep at the wheel while Trump and his kind have been driving the wrong way against all signs.

It should be a matter of right. My parents mutilated me as a child because they denied me healthcare. We should not allow parents to deny their children healthcare which leads to their permanent disfiguration. That's disgusting.

If you think it'd be wrong to force a cis kid to be trans, then it's also wrong to force a trans kid to be cis.

Yeah kinda. Honestly when I signed up for it I had no idea it was a country TLD, let alone that it might disappear so easily one day. If it does go away I'll live, but it will be quite annoying to have to switch my entire digital life over to a new domain. I've had my domain for 10+ years so lots of stuff is pointed there.

I'm surprised that no one is mentioning the direct effect of petrodollar (or lack thereof).

The gold price drastic increase and USD worst decline is to be be expected, and it's mainly due to the end of petrodollar agreement discussed on HN last year [1]. Somehow the Nasdaq news link is dead now but the Firstpost news is a similar one [2]. The top comment is a golden example of denial (pardon the pun), "This is itself inconsequential" [3]. This can be another Dropbox comment moment of HN. The comment also predicted that "Things will keep running as today probably for the next 20 years", and here we are in just after a year.

The negative effect to USD due to the end of petrodollar is imminent and the writing is on the wall for the gold price to increase sharply when there is no more petrodollar.

They'll do nothing now, people don't want it, people complain, it's a bad thing politically. They'll wait for a year, people will forget, a new proposal for "Clean Chat" will appear, with effectively the same measures, they'll try to pass it quietly, maybe no one will notice, maybe there will be a terrorist attack or something similar by then, and more people will want it, and if it fails again, rinse and repeat a year after.

They only need to succeed once, we (the ones opposing the law) have to succeed every time.

The claims they are making seem slightly at odds with the (I thought well-established) claims that jet emissions cause measurable global “dimming”: that is, that the pollutants reflect enough sunlight that it is accidentally retarding global warming, supporting the concern that necessarily cleaning up our air will briefly accelerate global warming itself. Are they? Or is it also a double whammy?

This was seen to be evident in global pan evaporation measurements after the essentially global flight travel bans in the few days after 9/11; I have often wondered whether the equivalent restrictions in the early days of the pandemic show it as clearly because the impacts on pollution were very striking.

I always forget websters definition of punishment is “violent masked unidentified government sanctioned gangs roaming the streets and violently apprehending people”

That’s such a great point. Deportation is supposed to be incredibly violent because it’s a punishment. I’m jotting that one down since it’s certainly not written in any laws. I don’t wanna forget.

One thing about the Fediverse (Mastodon) is that most people aren't on it.

As I found with one marketing experiment, this makes it terrible if your goal is to reach as many consumers as possible in a niche.

But HN members who aren't mass-marketing could change that, by moving to the Fediverse -- giving it their endorsement, and network effects.

The juiciest one is the Albin Counter-gambit. If you follow the "ideal line" where white blunders and takes the bishop bait, there's a neat knight underpromotion to win a queen.

From my own play, I typically see knight f3 from white on move 4, which still results in interesting games.

CO2 emissions haven't yet peaked but global coal use has, all countries have significantly dropped their coal usage with the exception of India and China.

Per annum total global coal use has peaked and is projected to fall from this year forward.

China's use is becoming "better" (closing many small dirty old coal power stations, opening fewer but larger and more efficient less polluting new ones) while having a set long term plan to phase out coal while using it now to power a transition to renewables (wind turbines and solar panels don't make themselves yet, nor do they yet power their own production).

Apparently .io is the TLD for the British Indian Ocean territory, which (as I understand it) is going to go away as the UK is going to release the land. From what I understand the TLD would normally go away when the political entity does, but there has been a lot of concern in the industry because this particular TLD was very popular with outsiders.

I'd be more than happy to talk with him if I had a chance; been a fan of his channel for years. I presume however that a youtuber of his caliber has little interest in hearing from yet another random person on the internet.

It's okay that the video is not a great representation. The whole premise of the channel is that he's not a subject matter expert, but he gathers some information on a topic and presents it so everyone who watches is a little smarter everyday. It's a starting point for those viewers who want to dig deeper. The same is true for infotainment in general, much of which is presented as far more authoritative than Destin's content.

My issue with this term is that it muddies the waters for people who are using LLMs to assist with types of engineering beyond just writing code.

I've used GPT to rapidly get up to speed with just about every aspect of circuit design, CAD, CNC... the list is long. Coding is often involved in most of these domains now, but if everything is assumed to be code-first, it leaves people who are doing different work with a constrained and apparently shrinking adjective namespace.

nick__m quoted the wrong section, but there's an identical Factors section 15.2(6) that applies to 15.2(2)(d). There's also a non-disclosure clause. The headline is true.

Order

(2) If the Minister believes on reasonable grounds that it is necessary to do so to secure the Canadian telecommunications system against any threat, including that of interference, manipulation, disruption or degradation, the Minister may, by order,

...

(d) impose conditions on a telecommunications service provider’s provision of services to a specified person, including a telecommunications service provider;

...

Non-disclosure

(5) An order made under subsection (1) or (2) may also include a provision prohibiting the disclosure of its existence, or some or all of its contents, by any person.

Factors

(6) Before making an order under subsection (1) or (2), the Minister must consider

(a) its operational impact on the affected telecommunications service providers;

(b) its financial impact on the affected telecommunications service providers;

(c) its effect on the provision of telecommunications services in Canada; and

(d) any other factor that the Minister considers relevant.

...

No compensation

(10) No one is entitled to any compensation from His Majesty in right of Canada for any financial losses resulting from the making of an order under subsection (1) or (2).

Not to explain away Ikea's byzantine system, a difference in size usually comes with a difference in use and environment.

While a T-shirt has the same purpose in S M or L, a table isn't the same if it's lower smaller than 50cm or longer than 1.5m, or lower than 60cm or higher than 70cm. In a standard shop you'd call that a night stand, or a coffee table, or a kids' table or living room's low table etc.

If you think of it as shopping for an environment (same as half of the in-shop experience: they'll show you full rooms where you can see products fit together) it makes sense. Somewhat.

There are a lot of comments here mocking “chemtrail” believers, but I think the confusion is understandable. There seems to be a mix-up between three terms: contrails, chemtrails, and cloud seeding.

Contrails are just condensation trails caused by jet exhaust and air pressure differences at high altitude.

Cloud seeding, on the other hand, is a real weather-modification technique that uses aircraft to disperse substances like silver iodide to encourage rainfall [1]

I completely empathize with people confused by this. They aren't all just a bunch of conspiracy nuts, many just don’t know how to identify what they’re seeing or how these technologies actually work. I don’t mock them, I try to educate.

It's funny how often the conspiracy types are both right and wrong. We have precision targeted ~~propaganda~~ content streaming straight to the tracking device everyone willingly carries, but they land on 5G being some sci-fi form of mind control.

It's some form of motivated reasoning. The same people who will tell you a secret cabal of billionaires controls the government will roll their eyes if you bring up the heritage foundation.

I feel using the word 'vibe' is inherently giving it a negative connotation which goes against the idea presented here.

The reality is the tools are really useful when used as tools, like a power drill vs. a screw driver.

Vibing implies backseat driving which isn't what using the tools proficiently is like. The better term would be 'assisted' or 'offloaded'.

Same thing with the term 'engineering'. That's a fairly new term that implies being engineers which we are not. We haven't studied to be engineers, nor have real engineering degrees. We've called ourselves that because we were doing much more than the original job of programmer and felt like we deserved a raise.

'LLM extended programming' is not as catchy but more relevant to what I observe people doing. It's valuable, it saves time and allows us to learn quicker, very powerful if used properly. Calling it 'vibe engineering' is a risky proposition as it may just make people's eyes roll and restrict us to a lesser understanding.

The described mechanism doesn't say the hardware features can't assert the software features, only the other way around: the premise was merely that the software features need to be replaceable; in fact, this is exactly what you want, as it ensures that the mechanism in the hardware providing the secure boot feature is open source and it also ensures that the operating system you run is anything you want, rather than being locked into a specific choice by the maker of the hardware (or, if the people who make the hardware want to ship an OS with the hardware as if it were some kind of cohesive product, then that OS would also have to be open source and modifiable, which is how you can get a GrapheneOS in the first place).

dav1d is AV1 decoding with C code just for posture: nearly everything is assembly using vector machine instructions from arm64 to x86_64 avxNNN, and of course risc-v.

I don't even mention ffmpeg.

RVAXX looks like more a grab bag to match x86_64 and aarch64, feature wise, and it includes bad features: this is very probably to ease porting only.

In a risc-v world, there would be much more assembly of code path variants (cross-vendor neutral-ish), and high level languages with assembly written interpreters.

No more C42+ , only ultra-stable-in-time core-ish ISA assembly... and Big Tech hates that because planned obsolescence is excrutiatingly harder to do.

Also to note, shipping prices are egregious compared to the product prices. In most cases shipping a single product will cost 2 or 3 times more than the product price.

They made efforts during COVID so they're obviously aware of the issue, and I'm sure they al see it as lost opportunity, but probably still don't want to eat the cost or go full Amazon and have their own centers.

TBH as a customer I'm fine with keeping in-store price low instead of subsiding the online store.

Sure - but nothing driving up revenue value is actually being created[1]. What's missing in that system is a way that money is entering the system. These deals are (in my cynical opinion at least) being inked to create the appearance of large continued investment and market excitement to pump or sustain valuations. Oracle actually spotlit the arrangement as future sales in their recent earnings and that seemed to be what mostly drove their valuation up.

Performative actions to drive up valuation and try and attract more investors absolutely feels bubbly to me.

1. Discounting products that are not only currently operating at a loss but are priced well below actual resourcing required to produce.

I used both English and Hangul to search. Searching for general things like food was good, but if I was trying to find a specific address it was very difficult. Sometimes it would just return completely wrong garbage. One time I was trying to meet up with someone and only realized halfway that the destination was wrong because Naver decided to take me somewhere else despite me copying the exact address in Hangul.

Maybe more about my unfamiliarity with the Korean address format than anything else tbh.

Some things about Naver I kind of miss from Apple/Google maps, but international software in general feels much more user friendly and better UX than Korean software.

I was concerned there might be sensitive info leaked in the browserbase video at 0:58 as it shows a string of characters in the browser history:

nricy.jd t.fxrape oruy,ap. majro

3 groups of 8 characters, space separated followed by 5 for a total of 32 characters. Seemed like text from a password generator or maybe an API key? Maybe accidentally pasted into the URL bar at one point and preserved in browser history?

I asked ChatGPT about it and it revealed

Not a password or key — it’s a garbled search query typed with the wrong keyboard layout. If you map the text from Dvorak → QWERTY, nricy.jd t.fxrape oruy,ap. majro → “logitech keyboard software macos”.

> "Links to" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

How? it is obvious.

> During Proton's expansion into Eastern Europe, Tesonet initially assisted Proton with HR, payroll, and local regulation, so for a period of time, people working for Proton were employed by Tesonet, since Proton had no local subsidiary that could hire them. These were not "shared employees", they worked exclusively for Proton.

So basically same people managed teams, same people paid the employes, but my "Links to" is doing heavy lifting and in the previous sentence you say "ProtonVPN is owned by Proton, which has no legal ownership ties with Tesonet."? Who is doing the heavy lifting here?

How much is Tesonet or Proton paying you to post in here?

And for the folks that prefer to bash XP (Fisher Price UI or whatever): XP 64 was the first (and so far only) version of Windows in the chain to not be reachable by any upgrade path whatsoever (where at least Windows 11 can still be reached by upgrading 64 bit Windows 10 and so on, back to XP 64). So, arguably, it's at least (if not more) at fault than 11 - depending which brings more joy for one to blame.

Windows 95 was really the one which made the story interesting (the important bridge between 16->32), so no help to those that preferred NT or other OSs at the time and wanted an excuse to bash it :p.

I'm thinking about trying something similar to this on top of AWS SES. They make it fairly trivial to accept email and store it to S3. So email forwarding would be straight to S3 backup. But still would need a system to backup these emails to some local storage.

Not sure what's the best way to handle this, I had my gmail account since the early days and it's baked into so many important accounts. It definitely crosses my mind what it'd be really difficult if I were blocked out somehow.
