Original title is

> Deepfake queen to deliver Channel 4 Christmas message

I don't see a reason to change it?
My apologies, dang. I wasn't sure which (<date>) to add to the title. It was initially published in 2011, but new chapters were added in 2018. I don't know which is preferable, and so trapped by a paralysis of indecisiveness, I did neither.

I am quite happy to compromise on (2014.5), should it develop that the community is split on the issue.
It's a generic comment, I'm not talking about fish only
The problem is that these simulations are far from perfect, and AIs are great at exploiting paths-of-least-resistance.
So you'd end up with an AI that could drive through your virtual city flawlessly by overfitting on some cues that you wouldn't even notice, but are reliable enough because of the necessarily lower complexity of the simulation.

It wouldn't translate to the real world; unless maybe you add enough noise to the simulation to prevent the AI from using too simple cues, but at that point, it's questionable how much insight the AI could still distill from the simulation.
Another part of this equation is that fantasy interfaces control fantasy devices: robots, star cruisers, semi-AI nanobots.

Most SaaS problems are boring as all hell. Move some files around, ensure legal compliance, leave an audit trail. Good luck making that shit epic.
Teamspeak (or ventrilo) used to be the way to go when I was into online multiplayer games (~10 years ago). Not in browser, but low latency and extremely low resource requirements (definitely less than one browser tab; we have tried Skype back then as well, but it was using too much recorded for the computers we had back then, especially if there was more than 2 people on the call). You could host teamspeak server yourself on your local LAN. Not sure if there is some easy discovery mechanism or you would need to know the local IP (and ideally set up static DHCP for the "server").

I imagine WebRTC might require some sort of server as well, so I don't think you can get something purely in browser on all machines, but if you learn about anything let me know!

You’re confusing the French Empire and Metropolitan France. Algeria was part of Metropolitan France, the rest of what we’d now can the Empire wasn’t. All of France’s remaining extra-European possessions have every right French in the Hexagon do, and are French citizens. Algerians had it extremely easy moving to and naturalist got in France for decades after de Gaulle left Algeria. And Algeria was treated as French in law until such time as the French left. Thus the spat between the two countries in the 70s over children of Algerian immigrants automatically being granted French citizenship at 18. That was because their parents had been born in what was then France.

France and the Empire were not legally coextensive, and Tunisia and Morocco were never legally part of France. The generation that were born in what was legally France are done having children too.

Honestly though I wish 'pirate' didn't have such a broad definition.

Essentially there should be a big distinction between pirate and seeder/leecher, where one is actively selling stolen goods and the other just consumes shared goods.

I think it is due to personal nostalgia and technical curiosity. Solving these kind of issues are more of a hobby contrasted to real work that needs to be done on project. Thus sparking more joy and engagement.
Yes but this research explains better how this happens. And it’s from 2019. I thought it’s an interesting paper.
Merge requests/Pull requests are definitely an integral part of development, I don't think you can say it's an uncommon case. Same goes for sharing snippets with colleagues to explain/understand ehat is happening. Even Go has shown that there is value in not putting a lot of context in every single word of your language: it makes it longer to write, but easier to read whrn you have no prior experience of said piece of code.

There is definitely a balance to be found, but I believe most languages today (and, unfortunately, programmers) rely too much on an IDE even though there's a large enough part of our work happening outside of it.

Well, an arbitrary quantity of icons combined with a really smart algorithm would be better (eg: one that can distinguish whether to crop or scale in order to create small icons, and, when scaling, can handle stroke widths).

I'll bet very few icons really introduce new information once you surpass four versions.

Apropos D65, just a reminder that 65K is perceptually blue tinted. Just as D50 is red tinted. So if users will view your rendered image surrounded by an rgb-white screen, if/when the resulting small red/yellow/green/white shift is problematic, you might consider rendering using a non-standard 58K whitepoint. Just saw someone burned by this the other day, with a "supposed to be white with a localized tint" object (the Sun), which D65 then confused.
> There have always been limits to immigration.

The first limit on immigration in the US was the Page act in 1875, which restricted immigration of Chinese women.

Before that there were no limits.
Yes, very much this.

I don't have much to add except that I wonder why something similar hasn't been done already? I mean, it's an UI that works fine in RTS games, so why wouldn't it work for application windows?
Good story, FBI. Like those guys even exist outside of a few Internet forums.
Top-10 Bugs Found in C# Projects in 2020
That is true. For example, where Hitler rounded up "foreigners" and killed them, british ww2 conservatives merely deliberately let them starve in their colonies from famines. Where he benefited industrialists with slave labor, they merely violently struck down organized labor with incredible police brutality to do the same. And where Hitler built an imperialist military, they funneled money into illegal paramilitary death squads to keep their territories. This is not just a question of degree, they're just so fundamentally different.

Have an UI mode that's optimized for casual users!

So many of my relatives ask me where Windows Movie Maker went - it wasn't the most powerful tool of course, but it was so easy to use and arrange videos with, especially for not too tech-literate people.

There's nothing that comes close, especially not what MS has built-in at the moment (basically just generating videos from slideshows with confusing UX).
This. 99% of B2B Dashboards solve trivial problems. If I need to filter by a boolean, the cleanest possible solution is something like an input field. If you need to create a "Clean" modern interface of the Shuttle Control Cockpit, it's likely that your dashboard will need to morph into something that resembles more a Fantasy UI.
You're not wrong. As fan of single-storey (your "normal") "a" and "g", a few additional examples do, however, come immediately to mind:

Classic example: Futura.

Modern examples:

Apple fonts: Monaco uses both single-storey "a" and "g"; San Francisco uses single-storey "g" by default, and includes single-storey "a" in stylistic sets.

The Adobe Source (Code, Sans) and IBM Plex (Sans, Serif, Mono) font families include both single-storey "a" and "g" as alternate glyphs accessible through OpenType stylistic sets.

Does that matter though?

At 17 years old I was quite capable of planning and executing something like this, I don't think the age of the person matters all that much when it comes to destruction teenagers are quite creative even when they don't have access to weapons and explosives.

Besides that there are apparently at least three others involved in this plot. Radicalization at a young age is what drives a lot of the terrorist activity world wide, I don't see why white supremacists should get a free pass. If this guy had been brown and/or a Muslim there likely would be lots of people yelling for his head.

Ask HN: Giving away my (barely) profitable SaaS app, any takers?
This was a mostly solo endeavor with another friend and I've not been able to do any marketing for the past few months.

I do not wish to continue working on it anymore, I have a full time job and other projects I want to explore.

I was going to close it but then thought it's better to just give it away to someone who could grow it.

So I'm reaching out to people to see if they'd be interested in taking the product for a measly $2000, primarily because incorporating the company cost me something and closing it is going to cost me something too.

Sorry if this is the wrong place or I broke some guidelines, i don't know where else to do this.

Here's the stats
- 6 paying customers (~$90/mo MRR)
- 39 Stripe Connected accounts (people who connected but didn't continue or churned)
- 309 Emails Collected
- ~500 upvotes on ProductHunt! (badge on website)

Burn
- $60/mo not including incorporation fee (which costs more)

Here's the services being used
- Hosting (Free tier on Vercel)
- DB (Firebase Free tier)
- Postmark (for emails)
- GSuite (for personal email)
- Helpscout ($40/mo! I'm paying way too much for this)

Here's the Stack
- Node JS and React JS
- over 150 tests, 95% Test Coverage (Means any developer can pick it up really easily)
- CI/CD with Github

It's a well tested, market validated app. We've had a lot of positive feedback and feature requests.
I'm sure it can skyrocket if someone can get it's marketing right and put some more time into it.

Please let me know if this is of any interest to you or someone you know.

> "We"? Are you one of the core contributors of Fish? Otherwise I don't see why you'd argue in their place.

It's not about arguing in their place. It's about thinking where our collective (includes the mentioned developers, me, and you as well) wants to take its technology. What afffects you, affects me and vice versa. We're not as seperate as you make out.
I also use a VT520 on a regular basis, and support nowadays is limited.

- Since it cannot display Unicode, i have to wrap most things in a screen or tmux session to have unicode characters replaced

- Flow control is a hard requirement - just a single thing like a irssi screen scroll is enough to fill the buffer terminal-side

- tmux is hard-coded to disable software flow control, so i have to make sure the RTS and CTS lines are connected for hardware flow control or switch to using screen

- In fact, for hardware terminals, screen makes much more sense than tmux

- The connection is unstable above 38400, just single missing bytes cause TUI applications to render incorrectly

- I had to ship a custom terminfo with my dotfiles for the status line (what is the window title in xterm) to work correctly

Procrastinating in IRC and mailing works fine via irssi and mutt. Developing is a bit harder since i am used to mouse-based clipboards.
Well said. As I commented elsewhere Apple with its app store currently acts like a corrupt-middle-man-bureaucrat because it forces itself between the developer and the seller and demands a bribe from both for the "privilege" to develop / use an app. Limiting our choice means less profit for the developer, higher price for the user and a violation of your privacy rights by Apple (apart from profiteering).

Going by the FBI's history, the kid likely suffers from some kind of mental issue and the FBI were every other person in the chat room convincing him to attack while providing explosives.
Odd. I remember some of that from the first book but Liu Cixin lives in China and doesn’t seem to suffer for it. He also wrote the source material for Wandering Earth which did very well in Chinese theatres and is pretty pro-China.

Yes, that's a good one. Always good to see a sci-fi author work hard on a different model of intelligence.
Other than 89 I’m not impressed with the GPT-3 output here. In fact I would say it’s a good demonstration of the limits of this technology. While syntactically correct sentences that at the surface sound good, if you really think about them they’re not saying anything. They’re much more superficial and meaningless than the thinking that went into the original list.
Oh, I didn't see the part about you seeing a therapist.
I think it's a bit early to be assuming Chinese oppression tactics (though understandable).

Incidentally, this book seems to have some sort of cult critical status; I personally found it very poorly written, despite the original ideas in the plot.

I hope Netflix are able to turn it into something much better in their translation to the screen.
Excellent writeup and intro to the underdiscussed topic of offensive programming, and how DefP and OffP are not contradictory (any more than graceful fallback and rejection of bugs has to be), but rather applies to different categories of errors, with that crucial line of defense inbetween.

Don't let the downvotes discourage you from speaking up again on this. OP is indeed being very shortsighted as a developer by supporting the app store.
As a software developer, I politely disagree with your view. Some of the core standards powering UNIX/Linux is stable since eternity. Implementing these standards well enables a ton of backwards compatibility out of the box.

There are libraries which still protect their PDP-10 compatibility despite being maintained and refactored for current generation systems.

OTOH, every good software should build upon its foundation. When you have good foundation and a good interface to it, touching it is almost unnecessary in the long term.
I've been trying to get into this area of study.. what did you read to know all this stuff?
This reads like all the other "white supremacist" plots. A group of FBI agents, working overtime to convince a mentally ill, unstable, or young and impressionable person to carry out an attack he would not be able to otherwise execute on his own.

In a just country, where the rule of law applies, this would easily be classified as entrapment.
Relentless Hacking Is Turning All of Us into Data Nihilists
It's about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution . Any kind of history outside the Party in China is inevitably going to be a bit dangerous.

While there are direct references to the CR in the first few chapters, the real cleverness is the indirect approach and the (traditional) use of SF to critique the present society. In the book, advanced higher-dimensional aliens have invaded earth .. with a pair of subatomic particles. Since these are under their full control, they are able to warp reality in higher-order physics experiments to prevent humans ever learning certain things.

The parallel with the CR and Maoism (or indeed post-Bernays propaganda states) in general is obvious - the ability to finely control what information someone receives, especially at critical moments, is the ability to control what they think and know.
I’ve done pretty much the same thing many years ago by connecting directly to the Excel sheet from Access, and then writing queries and reports on top of it. The advantage was that there was no import step, so edits could be sent back right away.

If I remember correctly, Excel sheets can be directly used as ODBC data sources. This means that they can be accessed directly by database apps.
Yep. I've pointed this out a ton of times. I always get downvoted.

Brave is a scam in this regard. It says it gets rid of ads but places them elsewhere. For example, when you close all of your tabs, an ad is the background for the dashboard view - which ironically shows you how many ads Brave has blocked.

BAT never say well with me, and the maintainers of Brave have only demonstrated why it shouldn't by being hostile to (well intentioned) critics on the issue tracker.

It's about choice and loss of control / ownership of our device. Apple app store can exist. But they absolutely shouldn't FORCE us developers and users to use it.
I remember getting on a run of Ballard novels going back quite a few years and read The Attrocity Exhibition on a Kindle. The digital transcription process must have been flawed as there were many spelling mistakes and other oddities (incidentally, not the only time I've found this with Kindle editions). But it was one of the only novels (maybe "books" is a better word) where this actually contributed to the atmosphere. I feel like he would have approved, or at least appreciated it, and all the more amusing given the last part of the interview:

> INTERVIEWER

> Now, that old chestnut: Do you have any advice for young writers?

> BALLARD

> A lifetime’s experience urges me to utter a warning cry: do anything else, take someone’s golden retriever for a walk, run away with a saxophone player. Perhaps what’s wrong with being a writer is that one can’t even say “good luck”—luck plays no part in the writing of a novel. No happy accidents as with the paint pot or chisel.

Little did he know that decades later a flawed optical to digital process (I assume?) to sell his work to a global megacorporation, which is destroying the high street and employs thousands in drab warehouses and vans, so that I could consume content wirelessly without leaving my home, would lead to a happy accident. Dystopian modernity indeed.
Using a real VT220 as a terminal in the 21st century certainly violates the principle of least astonishment. Even backwards compatibility should have its limits.
I don't see why 'white' had to be mentioned at all.

As to the OP, that is frustrating to think the idea discussed was implemented without even a reference. However, that was in 2016 and - for good reasons - she did not start on it herself until 2018.

In that time, maybe the googlers put a lot of effort into it, involved a lot of other people and as OP had not kicked it off sooner, maybe assumed (wrongly) she had no further interest in progressing it.
False. AirDrop does discovery via bluetooth, but then sets up an ad-hoc WiFi connection directly between devices to transmit data. No network required.
I'd second this and also add that there will be plenty of good tutorials going through a lot of this stuff. They'll be very opinionated and produce particular solutions, but if this is your first project you don't want to worry about which framework etc. to use, you just want to ship something.

Netlify produce a lot of very thorough blogs that will cover a lot of the things you're yet to sort out. You'll end up in their platform as a result, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out how to migrate away once you've got something up and running (or you might find that Netlify fits your use quite neatly).
Shouldn't GNU count as profitable assets already? I think the GCC was valued at something like a billion dollars.
