Possibly the more interesting question is "How will they attract advertisers when their content is an avalanche of Nazi-sympathetic videos?"

It's hard to compete with YouTube if your revenue model is ads and your content is "The stuff that YouTube wouldn't touch." Most of the ad industry doesn't want to associate with that content; that's part of the reason YouTube doesn't want to touch it. So a competitor going the road of trying to host that content would probably need to find a revenue model that isn't ad-based, for starters. That's gonna be a challenge (subscription-based model for Nazi-sympathetic content? ;) ).
So, I make game engine, Corona SDK. It is indie game engine. No issues with notarizing occurred. I really don't understand what all the fuss is about:

* once notarized, always notarized. You don't have to continue to pay for old apps to work

* You can notarize old apps, same as new apps

* It is very easy. One command line command. That's that. There is also GUI wrapper for it, our user like. But in the end, it is very easy to do.
I recall multi-floor department stores employing actual elevator music in their elevators 20+ years ago. Haven't been on an elevator in one recently, so can't comment on whether they still do it.
Most of games in my steam library are flagged incorrectly, e.g they still have a 64 bit binary and still run.
The thing I find most worrying about Deepfakes is the moral panic aspect. Although flagging them as shopped and why they think that would be unobjectionable and respectful "good citizenship".

Even the false positives would be good for both laughs and insights if say an art musuem exhibit which screws with perspective or scale results in being flagged as fake.
You could change:

```lisp

To

```

It would probably look better with no highlighting. The original arc tutorial was just a plain text file.

Yep. People use filters and image retouching a lot.

If Twitter wants users to pay attention to items of content which are particularly misleading, they need to avoid alert fatigue - i.e. these notices need to be rare and reliable.

Yeah, I work like that. I don't like writing, and haven't done a lot of it professionally, but this has always been my process when I've had to write.
Maybe invest some more time and fix the already present TLS setup by bringing it up to the current state of the art. If you try to connect via HTTPS Firefox stops me from proceeding with a warning about not being able to negotiate a common cipher (SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP).
FYI, if you turn off SIP you can do quite literally anything. Rewrite random memory, install random unsigned kernel extensions, replace the kernel with a version you compiled yourself, the works.

The only thing that has no built-in off switch is TCC ("this app would like permission XXX"), although without SIP the ability to nullify it with code is theoretically at your disposal. I wish someone would make a MacForge plugin...
If you'd like a deep dive on the extraordinary lengths professional athletes and their teams will go this is a great read: https://www.tylerhamiltonofficial.com/book

It not only goes into the doping, but also the training and diet necessary to get the athletes weight to a level so they can achieve the necessary power to weight ratio to compete to win. It's crazy. But when you consider the investment teams are making in these athletes, you can see their motivation to cheat the system.
It certainly is, but not an intentional one
What is the target of algorithm warfare supposed to be? This concept makes no sense to me.

Submarine warfare? Makes sense. You kill subs and ships and control waters. What is the algorithm seeking to control?

It doesn't even seem like a new kind of warfare, just a decision maker for existing types of warfare. So it basically has rules for land, air, sea, internet warfare and ties everything together?

Is the US President basically going to enter "control Russia" at a command line and the AI plans and executes a cold/hot war? This seems laughable.
How do I use it?
But businesses don't have a right to refuse service to anyone. Especially if the reasons for refusal are not in vogue.

This to me just seems like Github Desktop and Gitlens are just poorly optimized for large repositories. If the git cli can handle large repositories, then so should the JS ones. There wouldn't be anything inherently bad about using electron for this.
Per the reddit thread on the launch, the fairing recovery ships are all in port. It's not clear why.
What’s hard to believe is the immense success, something on the order of 70% annual returns for a couple of decades, the secrecy, and the fact that it’s size is capped. That and the convenient smokescreen of “they did the math,” and the fact that nobody else, given the immense incentive to do so, has matched their “math.” I don’t know if it’s illegal, but my gut says that if it isn’t, it would be if people knew about it.

Apple's goal is obviously not security, nor is it to force things to work with the latest version. The purpose is to break backwards compatibility of the apps themselves. Make apps stop working on older versions of the OS. And the OS isn't supported on hardware more than a few years old. So your software you depend on breaks and requires an OS update and an OS update requires a hardware update and a hardware update costs $2,000 if you're lucky and 12,000-$20,000 if you have a lot of peripherals like color laser printers and scanners and audio converters that no longer have working drivers and the only option is to buy a new one of each.

Would you please not rant like this in HN comments? Venting indignation doesn't make this place better, and whatever substantive comment you have to make can be made in a way that adds information, not noise. When the froth rises all the way to allcaps, that's particularly a sign of the wrong thresholds being passed.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Also, please don't post the same comment twice: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21505062. Duplication is a sure way to add noise not signal. (Also, when there are duplicate submissions, we'll probably merge them, in which case your comment will appear twice in the same thread or we have to make special effort to exempt it from merging, and also move any replies that it got so that the replying users aren't punished for your duplication.)
Exactly.

Here is a summary of the situation: https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/overwatch-streamer-hit...

I don't think Fareeha was out of line. I've watched people stream Overwatch from their pool, and Twitch didn't mind at all even though the (male) streamer was completely topless.

It's very arbitrary and unfair.
Firstly, pg isn’t addressing the overall question of living a good life, he’s addressing how to start a startup that doesn’t fail. Which may or may not be a good life decision even by pg’s standards.

Secondly, a lot of people have conflicting desires and actually want one of those desires to win out. For instance, some people want to be in good shape, but they also want to lay around on the couch all day reading novels or watching TV or playing video games. If you do that every day for a few months, you will not be in good shape. You want to be in good shape but you don’t want to go to the gym, so you are unhappy. The solution may very well be to trick yourself into doing things you don’t want to do, by making yourself want to do them, because you want to reap the benefits of having done the thing.

And yeah, people are motivated more by fear than by hope. It sucks but it’s true. Our evolutionary environment led us to prioritize not losing things like social status or safety over trying to attain our wildest dreams, because most of the mammals before us who ignored risks to their safety and social status didn’t reproduce.
This will also push the front-line of war back in time, because democracy is vulnerable to psy-ops.

For example, there is a lot of hatred brewing against the Chinese government caused by unverifiable claims of concentration camps. There doesn't need to be a state actor behind it. There doesn't even need to be a conspiracy. Individual people are willing to cause plausibly deniable harm for even imaginary profit. They can exploit pagerank-type algorithms based on intuition alone. Pagerank algos aren't designed for war but it is difficult to claim they didn't have a contribution in the current round of unrest in the Middle East.

The exploitation of psychology for mass-marketing has been going on since shortly after WWII. Currently market forces which are also algorithmic in nature are pushing to make mobile devices ever more addictive and it would be surprising if using AI to accelerate this process is a new idea. With 2 billion users and no ethics Facebook has become a kind of shadow government, with the power to have non-users like me frozen-out by omission by my own family. It is crazy not to be terrified of what they have done.

> It's hard to compete with YouTube if your revenue model is ads and your content is "The stuff that YouTube wouldn't touch."

Um, there is an established industry that manages this just fine.
Startups rarely die in mid keystroke. So keep typing!

My most important takeaway.
> The constant re-invention of databases/operating systems/virtual machines

I wish that were the case but operating systems and systems software in general seems to be the most stagnant field. Everyone just buys the same FLOSS stack for $0 and compatibility is king, so there's very little research going in this field and much less of it ends up in any product you're ever going to see in use.

I would love to see a vibrant scene of competing operating systems and databases with fresh new ideas and research.

Mutebox

The anti-jukebox that lets you mute restaurants' ambient music to bring back the vitality of your surroundings. For when your favorite cafe is playing experimental electronic music and you really came for the sound of espresso machines and light background noise while you crank out that TPS report. Or, the jukebox that exclusively plays John Cage's 4'33". [1]

I work like that too for small stuff but I guess the advice of not editing while drafting is more geared towards longer forms (books, scripts, etc).
I just realized an equivalent of a public library but for user-submitted videos would actually be amazing.

With the same privacy protections that come with checking out a book from the library, the concept of it running at a cost, and the first amendment protecting the content of the website.
I think the problem is that every quirky developer thinks they're the Dennis Rodman of their team and it's probably not the case.
Top. Men.
Because women react differently to very low weights. When they're underweight for a prolonged time, they will stop having their period, which will cause a change in hormones. The hormonal change leads to weaker bones, which makes injury more likely. This happened to Mary Cain, as she explains in her video.
I agree with others in this thread, we should have more options for where to watch user created content.

With that in mind, can someone at Netflix please figure out a way to enable user created content?

Your customer base is ready for this. You don't need to focus exclusively on creating your own content. You've got the tech in place to support it. Many popular channels on Youtube would be right at home on Netflix. Take a note from Amazon, you don't need to be a book store when you can do much more.
> We still have Linux, thankfully - at least as long as hardware manufacturers let it run on their computers.

As a ThinkPading Linux-user I’m looking at all these other people and wondering wth they’re up to on their increasingly leased computer platforms.

Whatever that is, I want nothing of it.
Also consider some books written by former soldiers?

I am curious to know if former soldiers turned author generally still believed the reasons they were given for the wars were true.
Considering that I had the same thought, no.

However, most people cannot regularly work 48 hour shifts except under duress. (IE, their life, job, or crisis depends on it.) Many can do it once, but need a significant break afterwards.

If someone is regularly cycling like that, it very well could be a coping mechanism for bipolar.
Yes, and also most people spend most of their time working on things like CRUD web apps rather than pioneering rendering techniques. Not only does the former not need the intense focus of the latter, but it also does require actually talking to stakeholders.

Also, most people have not been described as having "no empathy for other human beings" in a psychiatric evaluation.
Unfortunately, that becomes a reason not to support YouTube alternatives if one doesn't actually want to create a breeding ground for that content that cannot practically be moderated.

It's a vicious cycle.
I like and use Mastodon, and don't think its "low quality" Twitter.

If you don't do some editing while writing a first draft, but instead defer your intent to make those corrections, you will fail to execute some of those corrections later.

The virtue of editing on a computer is that you can easily correct as you go. If you don't think that's a good idea, you might as well go back to a typewriter or handwriting.

TGS is comparable to Medallion. The two have competed for talent in the past, and TGS actually spreads higher AUM over fewer people. TGS just doesn't have satellite funds, so they're quieter.
> Can you point to evidence that Apple is rejecting anything from being notarized? I haven't seen any.

Apple is rejecting anything by developers that don't pay them $100 a year, stifling competition in the process.

Apple has a history of conveniently rejecting apps if the rejection is in their financial interest[1].

Can't you just throw up a website and serve mp4 files? YouTube doesn't owe it to anyone to serve videos, it's just one way to consume video content online. If you want to move off platform, the technology and services are both open and widely available.
There used to be a requirement that anyone receiving an academic degree has to demonstrate proficiency in a second language. The purpose is not so you could use the second language, instead the purpose is that learning a second language forces you to understand that all the details of your own native language are arbitrary, understand the abstract notion of "language" separately from your native one, and as part of that understand that many parts of your native language encode pieces of your native culture and are not universal, and thus cannot be translated directly. This understanding of how language works was part of what made you a "college educated" person, who has a better understanding of the world.

Has this requirement been dropped, or are diploma mills able to graduate students who can speak a little Spanish but do not understand the important bits about how human languages work?
I haven't hosted modded servers in many years but a while ago the advice was to avoid (4, 8] GB (might have been 6.5 instead of 8, I don't remember, but the point is there's a dead zone) because of something weird with the garbage collection. I think it had to switch to 64-bit pointers or something. Anyway the worse garbage collection outweighed the memory advantage. I personally never hosted with more than 4gb.

IIRC more memory also increases GC time so after a certain point the GC causes such annoying lagspikes it's often better to play with less.
No need to apologize for disagreeing! I also think the OSM community has a ton of really fantastic people, who are excited to work together to make something really neat. Unfortunately, it's not true across the board, and the tone of this article does a great job of illustrating that.
> Is it significant that Photoshop is being shipped for iOS now -- do we expect that professionals will take the platform more seriously because of that?

The point that you're trying to make and the point I'm trying to make is effectively the same:

Apple platforms have no shortage of creative apps, have never had a shortage, and their library of apps and games is always increasing, not decreasing.

If Krita abandons Mac, do you think it will hurt Krita more, or Apple, or users?

What's more likely: Will people sell off their Mac and buy a PC just to keep using Krita, or would they rather find one of the many other painting apps available for Macs?
Why not both?

The J-cars (cavalier/sunfire/sunbird) existed b/c of the second oil crisis in '78. GM needed something FWD, smaller than the X-cars, that could get better fuel economy than the RWD V-6 and V-8 cars it had been selling in the '70s. The thought was that people in the US would buy these because they had to, not because small cars would suddenly become appealing to Americans in their own right.

The Js were never terribly profitable, the lower-end ones were almost certainly sold at cost to boost the company's mileage compliance numbers. The traditional easy way of squeezing costs out of a car is to pull them out of the interior & trim, which would explain the sunroof, the dash electronics, the trunk closures and taillights.

The engine you got in yours is almost certainly the Quad OHC, one of the last Oldsmobile powertrain designs...in its original 2.3L config, Olds had it making 185hp (in 1989, with no turbo!). Powerful but with no balance shafts, it pulled well but sounded & shook like a pair of wolverines trapped in a dryer, which is why the 2.4L version got balance shafts and was detuned to 150hp.
Chiefly #2 on both counts. I didn't see it as strategically useful, nor as in fact advancing any kind of humanitarian or idealistic vision (brand, rather, if we're being frank) for the US.

I end up agreeing with the anti-war-for-morality's-sake folks more often than not, though, mostly because US foreign policy on that front is kind-of shit, generally speaking, and because my inclination is to default to their position absent a compelling reason to oppose it.
On top of all that, the videos have to be discoverable. If you think Google will ever rank your YouTube competitor above results from YouTube, then we should talk about a bridge I have for sale.
This is throwing any efficient-market hypothesis out the window. Msybe this would work for a year, but why would anyone invest in fund B if it is a consistent loser. If you can figure out a way to slowly buy an asset and then quickly buy more of it and make both strategies profitable at all, then you're onto something huge. Almost as huge as Ren Tech

The rules seem weird - Martin Gardner had the same matchbox self-learning robot for playing hexapawn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexapawn
It had less states so it could fit on 20+ matchboxes that were filled with candy, but the rules are:
1. If it wins, nothing is changed
2. If it loses, you take the last move that has been made that resulted in the loss, and eat the candy, thus cutting this move from the possible move graph

This way every game lost improves the engine 100%, while in this Menace example the draw introduces unnecessary noice by bringing back moves, and the punishment for a loss seems unnecessarily harsh - removing EVERY MOVE played, which may cut out the best strategy
> Brilliance and individual productivity aren't everything in a team setting. If your project must scale past a single person, you need everyone operating on the same page. It's painful in the short term to lose the quirky rockstars, but it makes for a healthier team in the long run.

I think this is a self-inflicting ailment in the tech world. Many who are ICs fancies themselves one of these mythical "rockstars" who can code the business saving solution in 24 hour benders. Management/hiring/culture in general put too much emphasis on the brilliance of a single person on the team. But as you said, there's a time and place for the brilliant IC, and that's usually the very very early stages of a business.

I've seen this sort of situation play out at my current job. We had a "rockstar" who was with us from the beginning. He was able to ship solutions extremely fast, was a fantastic eng, but loved to do things on his own schedule. He was the backbone of the eng side of the business... until he decided to take an offer somewhere else. He pulled off a crazy last 48 hour bender to wrap things up he was working on, but in his haste left behind a half-finished total rework of the back end which nobody other than him had a vision for.

We spent the next 6 months trying to understand and finish where he was going with this rework. The manager who enabled this from the beginning also left, so we were left with a bigger mess than when we started.

Sure, this particular eng got a metric ton of features shipped in our early days, but in the end ended up costing almost as much to clean up his mess as the value we got from him in the first place.

There's a way to make these situations work, but blindly enabling the whims of the rockstar is not it.
You are correct; I completely discounted porn (which is also picking up the advertisers that YT sheds).

But porn sites generally aren't going to be hosting pro-Nazi garbage because their advertisers also don't want to be associated with it. Reduces to the same problem. It does, perhaps, point to a possibility; much as the porn sites gain on the fact that YT filters both the content and the advertising it allows on the network, one could imagine a hyper-niche site that is combining content YT kicks off with another (non-porn) category of advertisers YT kicks off.

Gun manufacturers come to mind.
I think the main issue is that to replace SQL, you'll need to build a database which you then need some method of interfacing with.

You could expose the underlying structures and operations with some API of course, but so much work has gone into optimizing the high-level CRUD/join operations that you'll force your users to reinvent the wheel.
