I don't know what the macbook touchpad does that you like so much, as I have not owned a macbook for at least 10 years, however, I think nothing can match a ThinkPad trackpoint.
It solves so far the problem of how do I own an asset that only goes up? That is pretty much it
It's a good point. I think it highlights the fact that these are not really the same kinds of device, so can't be evaluated on the same criteria. If we were still just buying phones nobody would spend that much on something that consumes so much power. The mistake Nokia and the others made was they thought the iPhone was just a phone.
Potentially it would have made multiple browser implementation illegal (as in the android/java lawsuit).

Maybe technically a better platform, but almost surely not the Web we have now
This guy's Twitter bio says "Valiantly upholding the immortal science of Marxism by posting online." Pretty much all he posts about is how great China is, how they're so much smarter than the US, cute little stories about Chinese schoolchildren.

I'm not saying it's a fake account, but... It's pretty ironic that he's complaining about propaganda.
Language matters. The way we use language and tell stories, associates white with good and black with bad. A snippet from Languston Hughe's 'That Word Black':

"Now as I were saying, the word black, white folks have done used that word to mean something bad so often until now
when the N.A.A.C.P. asks for civil rights for the black man, they think they must be bad. Looking back into
history, I reckon it all started with a black cat meaning bad luck. Don't let one cross your path!

"Next, somebody got up a blacklist on which you get if you don't vote right. Then when lodges come into being,
the folks they didn't want in them got blackballed. If you kept a skeleton in your closet, you might get
blackmailed. And everything bad was black. When it came down to the unlucky ball on the pool table, the
eight-rock, they made it the black ball. So no wonder there ain't no equal rights for the black man."

Sure, it's a small change. And yes, it takes time away from doing something else productive with your day. But it is valuable to reflect on our usage of these terms in everyday life, and how it might affect others, even in subtle ways.
I’m not a machine learning programmer, but trained models don’t really have identifying information right? So they wouldn’t even need to hand over any photos or PII, only a trained model that now better identifies specific individuals.

What’s really interesting is that any healthcare images can be used without requiring patient permission since training models can be used on a completely HIPAA de-identified image (stripping out any burned in characters, etc).
I don't believe anything about GDPR makes adware illegal.

Author completely misses the point of these NFTs
They are collectibles and by buying the NFT you can transfer them purely digital to anyone. Its rather irrelevant if there is an url pointing to something. The value solely comes from the fact that everyone agrees that this NFT is the real an only one and every other NFT for the same digital item therefore has no value at all.

The digital data itself that was bought with it can be copied as many times as anyone wants and it can be shared with anyone its completely irrelevant.

Future token may be legally accepted as "ownership/license" to something for example if you bought a song.
You can now proof to any streaming service that you bought it by digitally signing something only the token holder can.
So no matter which streaming service you use you keep you music. This however is far from reality and no one know if it ever will happen.
Absolutely. I have grown to dislike this often repeated "don't reinvent the wheel" stance. After some thought you realise 100% of mastering any art is based on imitating and rebuilding existing achievements, because that gives us the basis for aiming even higher with our own ideas.

When we blindly copy our own "Hello World" program into a text file nobody bats an eye. When a group of musicians play a metal song on classical instruments it's called a cover. But when someone builds their own database to have some fun and get better in-depth understanding of the tech you will always find someone whining about the not-invented-here-syndrome.

Effort isn't wasted just because it didn't change the world.
Sounds like someone is shorting gorillas. Gotta hold and show them.
What is this epidemiological case definition they use, which defines real COVID? I've done a lot of research and couldn't find such a thing, at least not last year. Such a definition can't be driven by symptoms because the list of COVID symptoms is itself derived from test-positive people, which is why the official list consists of basically all symptoms:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/s...

"Fever or chills, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or runny nose, Nausea or vomiting, Diarrhea. This list does not include all possible symptoms."

That's what you'd expect to see if a test with false positives was mandated to be treated as if it had none. Instead of the test being calibrated against a set of symptoms (the usual approach) the set of symptoms becomes calibrated against the test, and as the test has FPs, the set keeps expanding until it becomes a description of more or less any illness.

This is why the few papers that ask questions about test FPs invariably seem to use an invalid definition, usually one based on double testing, i.e. no followed by yes is a false negative.

there needs to be some “gold standard” to measure “true prevalence” of disease so there’s some sort of estimates of this for however they calculate the sensitivity and specificity of these tests

Indeed, but unfortunately no such gold standard exists, as the papers I quoted in the essay explain. Or rather, the test is considered to be the gold standard. I read somewhere that the WHO may finally have changed the official definition of COVID to actually incorporate symptoms ... on the day of Joe Biden's inaugeration. That won't help with people claiming they're politically biased. However at this point such a move seems unlikely to fix anything because it's too late: the official set of symptoms was already derived from test results.

Genuine question; what happens at this point? That's a stupid amount of money that many people will never be in a position to pay off. If they can't get it changed to something they can actually afford, is it simply a case of declare bankruptcy? Lose every asset you own, but then you're at zero rather than at minus a million.
Trustless is bad. Humans need trust without it we get genocide and other bad things. Trustless is another way of expressing a desire for a fantasy world where people are not interdependent and each hacker can live in their own bubble with no obligations to society.

I actually quite like the gold/yellow light on "traditional" British street lights. Not only is it arguably more "natural" than whiter hued light, but I think it actually illuminates better.

> It's good for personal passwords, but Bitwarden itself offers free service so there's no need to venture down the self-hosted road.

It's a trust issue. I don't trust my passwords on someone else's server. I don't trust free services to remain free forever. I don't trust paid services to not increase the fees 4x over a few years.

The alternative to bitwardenrs or bitwarden/server is not bitwarden.com for me given the areas I'm concerned with, it's going back to KeePass + Syncthing.

I think the reticence to provide the group features in bitwarden_rs may come from being unwilling to too blatantly step on the toes of Bitwarden LLC by producing a $0 drop in alternative to their paid service. bitwarden_rs is open source and bitwarden/server is _mostly_ open source (Some SSO related features are not), so it seems worthwhile to get along and not need to fork the ecosystem.

For such a "meritocratic" community as HN aspires to be, people here are often very finicky (and would rather upvote low-effort content marketing and boring VC news). As are HN's nebulous and often arbitraty "penalty" factors that nudge the frontpage ranking.

It's almost as if HN was a mini version of what many people rightfully are bashing here - a mini-Facebook!

> If these conditions are met, it is argued, it is safe to allow a process to call chroot().

It is safe only insofar some other software with elevated privileges whose security model assumes that only root can chroot, not run.

This is an issue with security that is had to avoid; some software is written on the assumption that certain things are impossible that may become possible in the future.

It is also why most capabilities are in practice useless as a tool of granularity on the average system and that all capabilities can often be constructed from a subset that is often as large as a single one, as so much software was written and designed before such capabilities existed, under the assumption that, if one have one, one have all.

Maybe he went to answer the door, where he was met by several Mr Smiths from Agency C, and was taken away.
I'm intrigued to know if Microsoft (where the patch submitter works) have a use case for this or if it's related to one of his other security projects (see http://digikod.net/). I think it needs a strong motivating case.
IOPS/TB is an important metric for hard drives these days. Capacity increases have been pushing that number down, making the performance characteristics of larger hard drives incrementally more tape-like and less suitable for live data. Splitting the actuators gets hard drives back to the IOPS/TB they had a few generations ago, which makes them suitable for a slightly broader range of applications than they otherwise would be. It also means that an older system using an array of 8TB drives can be consolidated onto half as many 16TB drives with minimal other architecture changes.

(Decreasing IOPS/TB is also why SATA SSDs haven't gone beyond 8TB while NVMe and SAS SSDs are pushing past 30TB.)

Rose tinted glasses I suspect. Don’t forget in the 90s the average desktop wasn’t powerful enough to run Java at a decent speed and the JVM startup time was in the tens of seconds.

It’s never told as such, but having been around at the time I suspect JS came to be largely from Java’s lackluster performance.

I’d go so far as to say if the web had depended on client side Java it may never have taken off.
There has to be a way to both call out the PRC for being an authoritarian government that is by most accounts committing modern genocide, and to not blame Asians who live in the US for that fact or to use that fact to justify bigotry.

I refuse to accept that the only way to prevent violence is to stop reporting on very real issues. It's like when people blame the BDS movement for antisemitism -- reporting anything negative about the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians becomes too dangerous because "what if someone misinterprets it".

Violence towards Asians in the US is a serious issue that we need to tackle head-on, but allowing the PRC to get away with genocide or deflect all criticism is not at all the way to do it. The PRC is not Asia, and it doesn't represent every Asian person. It doesn't get to hide behind them to shut down conversations about its own racism and authoritarianism.
Let's frame this correctly. Big companies usually offer for free any software that is aimed to bring people into their ecosystem to sell people software that makes hard for people to leave their ecosystem.

Said that, Verona is a new language while checked C is an extension. C has a huge code base out there and people are slowly moving away from C because C is perceived to be unsafe. With checked C people can have a safer C without moving to another language, so it is easier for Microsoft to attract people to their ecosystem with checked C than with Verona.

This is why they have two projects with similar goals.
They are adding multiple actuators, which actually should help that fundamental limitation.

I feel the same and it has led me to conclude that this is a situation where things have to get (a lot) worse before they can get better, and only through legislation.

Product looks awesome! So for my understanding - to add email channel you have to forward an email to single monitored inbox, correct? What email protocols do you support?
a) (hopefully) comes from an analysis of standardized and published contracts ("short positions"). Presumably, a hedge fund has to publicly announce which such positions they hold. So in theory, you should be able to dog through the data and sum up all the positions. If people on wsb did this, if it even works that way, I don't know.

Regarding b) I presume some clauses of said contracts are going to be used. Probably there is a part about some additional payments. Alternatively, the short positions could be extended (for a hefty price, I assume) or in the worst case courts and lawyers will get involved. Interestingly, some of the lenders don't even own the stock they lend. Sometimes they manage other people's stock. When these owners notice that they cannot sell their stock during a short squeeze, then things will get interesting.
That's why I said freedom and human rights.

Certain extreme expressions of subjective human freedom can harm people more broadly. Someone building an atomic bomb in their basement is a threat to my human rights, as is a company blowing unfiltered coal smoke all over my town. Enough people emitting enough fossil CO2 globally might threaten the rights (and damage the property) of a vast number of people. Enough people refusing to vaccinate might even be a threat (though this has to be evaluated carefully), since they're increasing my odds of contracting a disease.

Balancing absolute freedom with human rights and the broader experience of liberty and prosperity is as we would say an "AI hard problem." There exists no simple set of rules that when followed will always yield a positive result. It requires a continuous input of fully engaged intelligence and a continuous deliberative political process.

What we can say is that certain things do not do this. One-party totalitarian surveillance states, grievance-based populism, fascism, or Russia-style mafia-theocracy do not do this.

Both in house isn't really necessary - get facial recognition and feed it the others and you have the model you want.

Wouldn't government ID photos already contain the missing link of data for facial recognition without any speculative dot connecting? The DMVs have been /actually/ selling your data for years (as opposed to using it to power their advertising model - a pretty crucial difference as illustrated by this). Of course that also depends on what they are stupid or callous enough to include.

Webcrawling can be a fertile source - find one profile with real name and photo and you have a mapping. A grey area that was more an embarassment or cost of doing business than a company killer for Clearview.

"not post enough pictures that allow training an accurate representation" - well then you just have to post no pictures, and even that won't be sufficient as you're likely to end up in photos that others post, like the original article example of Andres Rafael Viola who was identified because he just happened to be in the corner of the background on someone else's photo.

A few years ago I had a project that among other things needed to detect which politician is in a particular photo, and an accurate representation needed something like 5-6 photos from different angles back then; more pics helped, of course, but you could get quite good results with just a few images even back then. I presume that we're not far from tech where 1 or 2 at most would be sufficient, so if any photos at all exist on social media (e.g. a buddy has taken a group photo and marked you in it from their contact list) then you are or will be linked to your photos.

And IIRC that recognition is quite stable as you age if properly trained, so if there's a ten year old photo floating around somewhere, then that part of your privacy is already gone.

It may not be a part of 21st century first world country human experience. But that's a very small part of all human experience.

A couple of centuries ago violence, wars and killing were a way bigger part of human lives, and it has been like that throughout the whole history.

I don't like glorifying violence, but I want to acknowledge that it's a natural part of life. Some can afford not to deal with it, some cannot.
