A NFT only has value if it's endorsed by the creator. ie. if you mint a NFT for the bitcoin whitepaper but you can't prove you're satoshi then it will be worthless. Seeing how satoshi hasn't been spotted in years, the chances of that happening to be slim.

Oh I'm sure there are. The claim was that some apps the commenter currently uses will switch from only being available in the App Store to being sideload-only. I'm just trying to find cases of that happening for any notable apps on Android.

I'm not convinced either way about sideloading - I just hear this claim touted a lot around HN. I'm trying to determine if it's FUD by examining the evidence.

Do you have any examples that fit this criteria?
SCO Unix (or OpenDesktop or whatever they're calling it now) would be an example of a 'state of the art' x86 Unix before Linux matured. I, however, was always more fond of Dell Unix SVR4 for x86; a more 'pure' Unix. Install images are 'around'. It's new enough to be familiar and comes with a bunch of extras (like a pile of ported GNU tools). Interactive or Microport SVR3 are a little more old-skewl, if that's where you're at. Xenix is very old school, and shows you what you can to with very limited x86 hardware (esp Xenix for the 8086 or 80286), and you'll find a lot of tools you might want don't compile for various reasons (like a K&R C compiler). Other folks shipped an x86 SVR3 or SVR4, but they generally added very little to the AT&T code base.

If you go the emulated route (e.g. SIMH), I'd go with BSD 4.3 or Sun SunOS 3.5. That's where I started out with Unix so there's a lot of nostalgia there.
I wonder if there are learnings from this that could be transposed into the 1-D domain for audio; as far as I know, aliasing is a frequent challenge when using deep learning methods for audio (e.g. simulating non-linear circuits for guitar amps).
This is a sore subject, but the difference here is that rape is an evolutionary artifact left over from when it was advantageous (from a reproductive standpoint) to do so. It was, quite frankly, an evolutionary advantage for men to rape women. I personally doubt this urge is different based on race. In fact, women’s fear or rape is one of the only times I find it acceptable to use phrasing like you described.
Okay. Again. How much bandwidth do you think it takes?!?!?!

You do realize that 3MB/s is TWENTY FOUR Mbps, i.e. over 6 times Zoom's requirement for 1080p, right?

Even 10Mbps upload is enough for at LEAST two video calls.
Sure they still can, but without such a bill the women in the bathroom can't take actions like calling security until the man actually starts doing something violent/criminal/creepy/whatever. With such a bill their mere presence is enough.

>The reason transgender people are getting more attention than blind people is because there is currently a strong movement to regress transgender rights

Firstly, a resistance to expanding rights is not a movement to regress rights. For the most part (exceptions apply), the margins of the culture war here are not about trans people being on the defensive against long-standing rights being stripped.

Secondly, obviously the margins of this battle are often (again, not always, particularly when it comes to health care issues) pretty small-stakes, especially in comparison to the outsized amount of attention they're given. Certainly not important enough to justify the "you're trying to murder me / dehumanize me / erase me" rhetoric that one predictably receives when mild resistance is offered towards this agenda.
Oh shoot - I missed this comment. There is a sign-up form on the home page: https://multiverse.plus/ Just under the image of the PC.
I read the original comment by @caeril as saying that Feminists are TERFs, which would not be accurate as the expansion of the acronym is “Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists”.

From what I’ve seen reported, cis women are on average more relaxed than cis men about trans women.
I don't have an answer in particular, but I was surprised to discover that Panama is doing just as well, if not better, in most macro-measures (HDI, median income, per capita GDP PPP, etc.) than Costa Rica. Took me by surprise!
Sometimes people push bills like this to make their opponents look like fools, though maybe that's not as common in the EU. Movements are infiltrated all the time. I don't know the details of that bill (much less the name or backers), so I can't really comment.

What I do know is there's tons more bills trying (sometimes successfully) to block consenting adults and older kids with parental permission from even basic stuff like counseling or blockers. That seems way more dangerous than the fraction of a percent of kids who change their mind later being able to go through with a transition they'll regret.
It’s not just a legal standard, it’s a fair minded principled default. If you have information that didn’t make it to trial or that is not legally actionable, you can make up your own mind. If you saw everything the Jury saw and nothing they didn’t see, and still would have voted differently, fine.

Innocent until proven guilty is an admission to your own flaws in judging another person. You can live life without that admission, but they are still present within you.

> ” sexual predators claiming an identity they don't actually have”

This is such a bizarre leap of logic. Trans women are the pariahs of contemporary Western society. Yet the same people who uphold this subhuman status also assume that rapists are nefariously claiming trans female identity.

That’s not how rapists operate! They seek positions of power. Trans women are downtrodden and powerless — the least attractive position for a sexual predator.
I remember that time, maybe 5-7 years ago, when he had a car chase with the police, followed by a little shootout. After the police apprehended him, he claimed he had mistaken them for his ex-wife, and also that he was on Xanax (and who knows what else).

One of a kind, that's for sure.
If you read the article you linked, you will find that is not true. From the article: "between 2016 and 2020, there were seven sexual assaults against females in women's prisons by trans women." 7 assaults in 4 years is not 5x more.

If you are referring to the statistic that "trans inmates are 1% of the population and commit 5.6% of the assaults", you will find that the trans inmates in question are actually trans men being incorrectly housed in women's prisons.

> But a LOT of teenagers, particularly girls, go through a period of gender dysphoria when they hit puberty. What little research exists on the topic says that most of those girls will grow out of their gender dysphoria, and well-meaning attempts at gender reassignment surgery for them will backfire.

Could you link to this research? This is a fraught topic that includes fraudulent studies and claims like this mean little without links.

Yeah, but federal sentencing guidelines are complicated and it's very unlikely he'd serve anything like the possible maximum sentence. Trial probably would have dragged on for a few years and he'd eventually plead to something and serve a couple of years in a minimum security prison.

That said, he was 75, so I guess even a few years could potentially be a life sentence.

"Innocent until proven guilty" does not mean "Abandon critical thought until a judge tells you otherwise" — this guy caught himself up in crimes literally everywhere he went... and this was after fleeing from a $25m judgement against him.

It seems a bit daft to think "gee, he probably did nothing wrong" simply because of how the American legal system is designed.

With a campaign slogan of "Don't Vote McAfee". And he failed to win the Libertarian nomination in either 2016 or 2020 -- he barely even placed in the 2020 nomination, winning a grand total of two write-in votes (out of over a thousand).

This was never a serious campaign. It was a publicity stunt.

The legal standard for guilt in a criminal trial is "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." There is a lot of room between "likely" and that very high standard. It is perfectly consistent to think someone more likely committed a murder than didn't, yet still have a reasonable doubt. So I really don't think there's any shame here.

Yes. deck.gl has two ways of interfacing with Mapbox GL, either where deck.gl is a layer on top of Mapbox GL (with a separate WebGL context) or by sharing the same WebGL context. Sharing the same WebGL context allows e.g. Mapbox's 3D buildings to "pop" above deck.gl or to put Mapbox's labels above deck.gl layers. Those docs are here [0].

Either way, the recommended way of connecting deck.gl with Mapbox is through React Map GL. Those docs describe how to use Maplibre GL here [1] and here [2].

On other subjects on HN (software, mostly), I find curious, questioning people, who will, for the most part, engage very seriously with the subject matter. I think this is because users here engage with software -- the creation, maintenance, collaboration, the joy and misery of it all -- frequently and with a passion for nuance.

When high-visibility articles on trans people show up, it's almost inevitably when our transness -- our ability to move through the world, to exist in certain spaces, or even if we exist at all -- is the subject of debate. I don't know how many cisgender folks here really get how fundamentally exhausting it is to have some part of your identity always be part of a debate, to be talked about or on rare occasions talked to, but almost never engaged with in a substantive way.

It's just fear fear fear, 24/7 -- simulating hypothetical nightmare worlds where trans rapists lurk in bathrooms and prisons, where every Olympic gold medal is taken by a man masquerading as a woman, roving hordes of red-faced trans activists screaming incoherently online at nice, well-meaning, harmless people who just want to learn.

I just wanted to put out there that the flattened, simplified perspectives trans people are portrayed with may not give you the whole picture, and I'd encourage people here to give perspectives from trans people the same (well, more, preferably) curiosity and interest that you might give to scare quotes and soundbites about prisons, bathrooms, and sports.

It doesn't help that any student can get a loan to study whatever they want, often without any regard for future income potential.

Most STEM majors don't have problems finding jobs.

The days of an Art History degree being enough to qualify you as a "college graduate" for a 9-5 desk job in an unrelated field are certainly over.

Which makes sense, economically. More college graduates means more specialized degrees to fill niche jobs, which generally pay better. Bushiness have a better chance of getting someone who's degree matches the job position, and don't need to settle for "college graduate" in unrelated field.
It is actually incorrect, I just responded to that comment. See below:

Well, it's undoubtedly a condition but there are probably some who dispute whether it's a "disease" or "disability". This resistance is more commonly associated with the deaf community, and drawing parallels between this population and the trans population will get you in hot water pretty quickly..

Nixon actually wanted to build 1000 nuclear power plants in the U.S. by the year 2000. Today there 60. Governments of the past didn't argue against renewable energy, they gave up on renewable energy in the face of political opposition, which ironically at the time came from the anti-nuclear left.
I have no real visibility (pun not intended) into the blind community, but similar groups do exist in the Deaf community; Deafness-as-identity/culture is very much a thing and some of the general cultural views around adaptation and integration with the hearing world look not-dissimilar to what you see in some aspects of LGBTQ+ movements.

The problem is the suppression of reasoned speech. People are forbidden to discuss this topic. People in power (e.g., University Deans) use this topic to abuse those under their power. Students use it to abuse professors (e.g., students claim that they don't feel safe around a particular professor). In the name of trying to stop abuse of trans people, we're abusing non trans people (e.g, people get fired over this topic).
Woah there, you're putting a whole lot of assumptions on me. I'm not against the rights of white men being up for debate in the public sphere any more or less than the rights of transgender people.

But we live in an authoritarian system which limits the rights of transgender people by various means. It's better in the US than it is in the UK, which in turn is much better than Saudi Arabia. The Gender Critical folks want more authoritarianism. They want the government to decide your gender, and segregate transgender people from cisgender people.

Google was 51.7% white in 2020, down from 54.4% in 2019 *. The US is 61.5% white, meaning whites are under-represented at Google, and increasingly so. How can one then argue they are favored? Why do reporters not apply even the smallest degree of scrutiny to such claims?

I must admit that I’m apprehensive to give an answer given this thread’s…liveliness, but I’ll do my best.

“Woman” describes a collection of chromosomal and phenological traits observed within an ongoing and temporal culture lens. A human is often perceived as a woman when she simultaneously embodies a variety of these traits, especially so when those traits contrast that which is considered male.

Much like the concept of feminism, consensus on what is and isn’t in these categories continues to evolve as it’s observed and informed by the experienced of both genders.

I can understand why a definition like this wouldn’t be as satisfying as something more concrete and well, definitive.
Raw ingredient suppliers do not charge restaurants a percentage of their sales, which is what these companies are doing. I don't necessarily think these fees should be capped, but I think it's worth considering whether they should be made more transparent.
Dumb yet Important Questions
I get your frustrations with this state of affairs, but for the reasons I mentioned above, I don't think providing the model and code is a panacea here. Maybe the last few years have also set an unrealistic expectation for the pace of progress. In my (former) field of theoretical neuroscience, if a paper was not reproducible, this knowledge kind of slowly diffused through the community, mostly through informal conversations with people who tried to reproduce or extend a given approach. But this takes several years, not the kind of timescale that modern ML research operates on.

Fwiw I think actual knowledge is there in the ML literature, but it's not in these Benchmark-chasing highly tuned papers. It's more high level stuff, like basic architecture building blocks etc. GANs and Transformers for example. They undeniably work, and the knowledge needed to implement them can probably be conveyed in a few pages maximum. No need for an implementation to be provided by the author, really.

Sure - I wasn't saying a corporate CEO would even be the right person to run a large city(though Bloomberg did pretty well relative to the expectations of a NYC mayor), but merely pointing out that businesses with operating budgets of a similar size are much choosier with who they put in charge.

In Baltimore, the democratic mayoral candidate is a shoe-in. So the Democratic mayoral primaries are actually the real election. And Scott bested his opponents in that competition with ~45,000 votes total.

So really only about 7% of the city(pop 620,000) voted for him, but that's just how the system works.
