I found this while looking for the novel that coined the name.

From Bruce Bethke, the author of Cyberpunk book[1]:

The invention of the c-word was a conscious and deliberate act of creation on my part. I wrote the story in the early spring of 1980, and from the very first draft, it was titled "Cyberpunk." In calling it that, I was actively trying to invent a new term that grokked the juxtaposition of punk attitudes and high technology. My reasons for doing so were purely selfish and market-driven: I wanted to give my story a snappy, one-word title that editors would remember.

...

IMPORTANT POINT! I never claimed to have invented cyberpunk fiction! That honor belongs primarily to William Gibson, whose 1984 novel, Neuromancer, was the real defining work of "The Movement." (At the time, Mike Swanwick argued that the movement writers should properly be termed neuromantics, since so much of what they were doing was clearly Imitation Neuromancer.)

...

Me? I've been told that my main contribution was inventing the stereotype of the punk hacker with a mohawk. That, and I named the beast, of course.

...

If you want to find out more about the etymology of cyberpunk -- and quite a few other things, too -- take a look at Bruce's web page. Alternatively, why not just scroll down and read the story itself?

The Sweden charges and investigation were an obvious pretext to have him extradited to the USA. The UN special investigation concluded as much. So this is just like accusing a Russian dissident fleeing Russia that they didn't attend some fake trial in Belarus.

So the exact level of pollution you produce is good, people should all live the same way you do?

I grew up in a developing country without heating or aircon. I remember having frostbite on my feet some winters. Most of the food we ate was brought from the local farms straight to the market. No shipping stuff around the world, no cooling etc. I also biked everywhere and still do. If you're from a first world country, just by existing there and living the most basic life you're already responsible for so much CO2 it will be hard to ever catch up. So please give up everything and revert to monke before preaching to me.

But seriously: Moralizing doesn't help. People need better education so they understand energy issues, which they currently don't. Instead everyone repeats believe the science™ or such mantras, but they never actually look at the science. Once they have an understanding, as societies we need to figure out rules that work for most people, not just edge cases. It's good you ride your bike and I do to, but it's not a solution for everyone, some people will still need to drive cars. On the same note the push to make all cars electric is idiotic. The other day I saw they introduced electric highway patrol cars in New York, who on earth would think that to be a good idea?! I work in earth science and the amount of myths people believe about energy and climate related topics is insane. The lack of understanding makes them easy targets for misinformation by the energy lobby, the car industry and other actors with ulterior motives.
The main argument against fireplaces and wood burning stove isn't their CO2 emissions; it's the particulates they release into the immediate surroundings, which have much worse health impacts than previously thought.
But, so, in short, we are screwed for practical open radios? Or is there a way out?

I am fascinated by this subject, because of how scary misapplication of AI can be. But this has very little to do with AI/facial recognition tech itself.

The name was picked up from a lost learner's drivers permit, that was found on an suspect while in custody, the permit did not have a photo and then this stolen name had been propagated further and attached to other cases. They used a paper without a photo as identification. It actually says right on it, that it is not to be used as identification, WTF?

> In addition, it asserts Bah's apprehension was in part due to the application of unreliable facial-recognition technology in the shoplifting incidents in New York.

Vague statement, unclear what exactly role of the facial recognition was.

> The detective subsequently submitted an information request "to the NYPD’s Facial Identification Section (FIS), which identified the photograph as potentially depicting two people, one of whom was purportedly Ousmane Bah – and the other was the actual thief, Mamadou Barrie."

Seems like the software did what it had to: identified two people.
The article also says that they were friends, so it is not surprising that were both present on some frames. It can be source of some confusion as well, not tech related though.

> The video from an October 2018 theft misattributed to Bah in Rockaway, New Jersey, was also deleted. Apple and SIS are said to have told the New York court that neither firm has any written policy on video retention.

Yeah, this is fishy. I am very doubtful they don't have any written retention policy.

Human error, eh?

This beach does not exist

This is putting the cart before the horse.

Heating homes with natural gas (which the article clarifies is the source of the majority of the emissions) is currently far more efficient than with electricity.

If everyone in NYC switched to electric heat, the grid would certainly fail.

Additionally the grid uses a lot of natural gas for energy production.

Once all the electric production is green, and we have lots of extra capacity, it might make sense to look at reducing natural gas service to homes.

Until then, doing this will actually just make more emissions.
> Are there 2 unique gas distribution systems?

I get the impression this isn't typical, but for me "gas" usually means a 150-gal propane tank, filled asynchronously, often by truck rather than gas main. A benefit of this, like most asynchronous systems, is that no amount of disfunction in the backend will have any immediate effect on local usage.
Not really common knowledge, where is Shopify talking about jemalloc? I can't find anything. Github there's a tweet confirming it, they never really wrote about what they're doing with jemalloc afaik. I mean wrote as in not a tweet. But yes Eileen confirmed they use it. If people blogged about it more it would have become common knowledge I guess.

You should look into this a lot more. The core fact is that there are very little potentially valid reasons that Assange could be extradited - the prosecution is mostly grasping at straws, as he has done nothing wrong by UK laws. That is why ancillary witnesses like this Thoradsson become crucial: the prosecution needs to invent something that could be a good enough excuse to get him in the hands of the US "justice system" (for people like Assange or Snowden, it is obvious there would be no real justice in the US).
Yes, unfortunately, the blog is in French, but it's easy to understand/translate, with the video and the pictures...

I moved to California to work at a dot com on March 3, 2000. The NASDAQ peaked one week later on March 10. To me that era is captured in Douglas Coupland's novels Microserfs (pre-crash) and JPod (post-crash). JPod was also made into a show for Canadian TV that's a lot of fun!
Even if Assange's personal motivations had any relevance here, that comment alone would be enough to disqualify someone from holding any kind of public office in a functioning democracy that respects human life.

I use a plate adapter from Bialetti to do Moka pot on my induction range, it was a bit pricey at 20€ but it looks good and does the job.

I also ended up buying the Bialetti induction Moka but for a place that turned out to actually have the evil Ceran electric top… still worked obviously. It’s expensive but AFAICT the only one that’s induction friendly and also has the standard Bialetti interior shape, which I find much easier to clean. Also it’s gorgeous.

However, I do get a pretty serious caffeine high off the larger dose.
What films should be added to the list?
There's a video by Ousterhout titled "Can Great Programmers Be Taught?" from this year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgZ7Cxt5uIU
Hey, HN! I don't know about you, but I'm an absolute sucker for productivity systems. Cards, pomodoro, todo lists -- I've tried 'em all, and stuck with a few. But the only thing I've found that actually encourages me to get shit done and doesn't encourage me to waste time organising lists and making plans is keeping a done list.

What's a done list? Think of it as an anti-TODO list: your DONE list is where you write down everything that you've, well, done. You know that little dopamine kick you get from filing a neatly-tagged TODO or marking off something that you've finished? A done list is just that, and the only way to use it is to train yourself to stop organising and just get stuff done.

Try keeping your own done list for a week, and you'll be amazed at how you can hack your brain into actively looking for projects you can finish and tasks you can check off, just so you can write down one more thing as DONE. You don't need fancy tools to write down a list, but if you're like me and you like having fancy tools check out https://donel.ist -- a fast, easy-to-use done list tracker I built for myself. It's 100% free (no ads, "pro" tiers, or feature unlocks). And if you want to automate your done list or use it to automate other things, there's an easy-to-use REST API at (https://donel.ist/developer), too.

Can Great Programmers Be Taught? – John Ousterhout
The puritanism is real, and it's still a thing; people self-censoring themselves on platforms like tik tok (even going as far as 'censoring' words like sex or even more innocuous words). Not sure if it's fear of The Man, or because they don't want to miss out on views from kids.
This is normal, it's free with 2yr contract lol.

Using the law to force your HOA into something, though, sounds like a really good way to ensure that your HOA will fuck with you by every possible means for the rest of your natural life.

HOAs can be pretty evil that way.
I'm no trump supporter, but that shouldn't mean I or anyone else think he should go to jail for maybe costing her the election. Being a useful idiot or costing someone an election aren't (or at least shouldn't be) crimes. Also, its really questionable whether the US should be pursuing criminal charges against anyone who's never been to the States.

I think this whole case demonstrates what a nightmare the authorities can put you through in a supposedly Liberal, Democratic, Law abiding set of nations, just because they want to. That should scare us all.
JSON won because it can be easily processed by a human being
On paper it does, what they did is obviously criminal under current laws. The issue is that these crimes are almost never prosecuted.
I doubt so; I think that editing text via the brain would take a lot of focus to think the right things at the right time. In practice I think your brain would go one direction and the interpreter would type that, so then you'd think "no wait go back I was just distracted by a squirrel" and the whole document is deleted. Or something.
It probably cost millions of dollars to put together a team to develop and deploy this - it was only worth the investment because it could be reliably used against anyone with an iphone.
Good point, only delegation will work. It's in the startup's best interest to do a good job at this. Unless they don't consider the HN readers to be their target audience, in which case it's not relevant here anyhow.

Doing other people's job, trying to make it perfect and getting behind with a growing backlog is a recipe for a burnout...
> After years of studying it, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, diminished regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity.

Yes, not even surprised.

The FBI is actively seeking experts who can trace transactions, I'm pretty sure BTC is actively being used to launder money. I really don't see how BTC could be so high.
It's explicitly stated that that ID card is not sufficient to identify someone as having committed a crime as the document says:

Heating a home with a heatpump is a net win compared to gas in many parts of the world even when the electricity required is made with gas.

The reason is that the heatpump moves heat (from outside to inside) which is more efficient than generating heat directly.

Obviously there needs to be a plan to upgrade the grid to deal with electric heating, cooking, cars, etc.
Yes those touch pad control on the 'modern' electric stove are horrible. And some electric stoves when have liquid on the surface it just turn off.

Fire cooking is just much better for certain dishes. Stop with this electrifying and digitising everything.

I guess you have never had commit rights to any Linux distribution or such?

You don't get commit rights as a random person, so yes, a commit can usually be traced back to a person. Sure, the committer could have received a patch from a unknown person, but then he's still responsible for the commit.

Consider that for a moment. What does it mean to be fighting wars for a country in which a near majority of the population is unaware that you’re even doing so?
Yes, but we should still punish negligence (and in my opinion harshly). That way people are encouraged to fix mistakes instead of ignoring them like they did here.

Welcome to civilization.

What that means is that you are not in full control of your entire stack...do you have an idea how to reimplement, improve, or even just fix your keyboard's controller? Your link to the internet, from the way "call before drilling" protection is laid, to HTTP 2? The way your food is trustworthy; heck, the way your food even exists?

Indeed: nobody is in full control in their own life. Scary. Yet also powerful.
Not to mention the millions of people with temporary or permanent disabilities that make fine motor control difficult or impossible. Or the millions (billions?) of people who need an unobstructed view while operating dangerous machinery like… maybe… driving.

Without latency guarantees. If you end up on a congested cell and/or are deprioritized you will have noticable latency spikes and jitter. voLTE/voNR and their corresponding signalling have dedicated priority QoS.

I did use VOIP for many years over 3G WCDMA and 4G LTE networks as well as WiFi when I roamed between countries and swapped local prepaid SIM cards. Used Google Voice for SMS. My setup worked most of the time but I wouldn't go back to it again unless I had the necessity to. Too many times I'd get calls with big latency.

I do like the idea - and I saw a Windows laptop with a bigger 'touch bar' that I think is even more practical - but I just wished they offered a version without it. I heard the value of just the touch bar is in the region of $600 (random guess), because it adds some hardware from the Apple Watch to the Mac. That's a lot of money for a feature like that.
