Surely one can just block the update service via something like a pihole? I do this for my Vizio TV. They're notorious, as as most smart TVs now, for calling home and everywhere else.

Why is this? Would you also say this for other long running open source projects which have never breach the trust of their users?
I got a check for $3.02.
This is what I don't understand about sci-fi shows set up in space - why bother with a pilot? Surely one can see the advantage of not having to waste space and life-support for a squishy meatball. Apparently nobody saw this coming, much like Picard carrying his 5 physical eBooks with him. That or close-up shots of some radiator don't really make for compelling TV.
After their anti-union campaign, is there much remaining reputation behind their voice?
killing me is easy enough as-is, without the need for advanced technology. Literally any cop can bash my head in. Further arms race when nuclear weapons are present is pointless, as any conflict with nuclear power is likely to end in nuclear exchange, and is acceptable only if you are a psycho that thinks megadeaths is just a number upon which strategy can be built.
The decisions feature here feels a lot like Threads (https://threads.com/) and the document feature like Notion (though I see the use of ProseMirror).

I can’t necessarily say that I understand the value of two way syncing the content in Fable doc into the ticket body (rather than simply linking to a Notion doc in the page of a Linear/Jira ticket, which I’ve seen commonly done). That way the entire team can see a spec, collaboratively edit it and engineers just click the link to go across.

I could also very much see Linear adding a Notion integration or support, which would further simplify that process. Notion also added the reverse direction for Jira recently too, so it’s super easy to embed live ticket information on Notion now!

Would love to understand that use case a little better!
It is also an argument for repeal of personal income tax.

The feds can print money to bail out the banksters and fund forever wars, so they can also relieve me of the burden of the personal tax compliance headaches and drop the personal income tax.
This is indeed the description of the "Lump of labor" fallacy¹.

After trying to fight very hard against leadership that wanted to build something contrary to reality and burning out I have decided to never fight again. I'll build it, no questions asked, and I'll relish in wrecking the company as I build it. It's the only way for me to stay sane and enjoy this industry anymore.
Yeah or that's just the excuse they use to justify blocking access so more people subscribe to their services.
We have not escaped evolutionary pressures, and I'll argue that DNA-based life as we know it will never be able to escape them. Mutations will happen and selection will happen, even if those selection pressures fluctuate.

As natural life, everything we do is inherently natural.
It is entirely possible that a system that has worked well in the past finds itself in need of replacement or significant modification due to circumstances it has created. Monarchy was useful for pulling disparate tribes into larger nations via conquest. Government private land granting incentivized rapid expansion of a colonial people across lightly-defended foreign territory, which was then conquered and parceled up.

But when there is no more land to grant, what happens? When there are no more tribes to conquer, what happens?

When there is massive abundance and most of it is owned by 1% of the population... What happens?

... to the people who end up with less. They seem to be motivating to the people who end up with more. [https://singularityhub.com/2020/05/18/here-are-the-results-o...]

In a country where 1 in 100 people own a total of 40% of the nation's total wealth, a back-of-the-napkin guess strongly suggests the net motivation of spreading that wealth around would be positive.
I think your reasoning makes sense - unless you're a developer in high demand.

I started reading that and... it really doesn't say anything. Even after introducing "Some specifics:" it's just generic FUD hemming and hawing. Basically it says Google doesn't like some legislation (without getting into any details about why) and I guess we should be concerned because Google says they will have to take their balls home.

The big problem here is Google has a long history of handing out balls to the public and taking them away whenever Google got tired of those balls. So what if Google gets rid of Gmail or Maps or Search or whatever. Shouldn't everyone expect Google to get rid of any of their free services at any time anyway?

I'm really very curious what exactly this legislation is proposing that makes Google so hysterical? Maybe that they must provide support and appeals processes when their machines grind up users?

considering shell are mainly used for deeply corrupt ends, this isn't a far stretch. similarly, things that seem like duopolies today might well be revealed to be monopolies in reality if actual ownership records became public. i imagine the false public perception of a market that has fair competition is very valuable as it maintains the illusion of choice. similarly, regarding spying by USA; i imagine Crypto AG was/isn't the only CIA front.
Tesla bears some responsibility, but it's also on an individual to sniff out bullshit when necessary, and not be gullible to the point of committing negligent homicide.

You are worried that people will cheat in online poker, or what?

For poker, people can still play face to face, and it being a game of mixed strategies means it's probably a lot less important that poker bots are better than people than in chess. Top chess players use the computers to set up preparation bombs on their opponents, with rebuttals to moves for specific positions created by the computers. That doesn't work in a game of imperfect information and mixed strategies.
I liked the PS4 but even I feel like Sony didn't so much win the last generation so much as Microsoft lost it. Microsoft just never recovered from just how bad the XBox One launch was and Sony managed to win by pretty much doing nothing but releasing great exclusive titles. Sony right now seems to be fully into the hubris stage they were in when they made the PS3 and I feel like they are going to slowly lose market to XBox which has immerged from the disastrous XBox One humbled and with a greater desire to cater to their audience.
No, that's not what I meant at all. Being opposed to Israel and the impact they have on their neighbours !== being antisemitic.

It's my understanding that pro-Israeli sentiment on the right is somewhat rooted in antisemitism in the first place. They love the idea of Jews having their own country away from everyone else.

Besides, the whole Q conspiracy wing currently taking over the American right is blatantly antisemitic.
More and more we see Australia trying to out China in authoritarianism. However, at least China (and Russia for that matter) doesn't hide that it is authoritarian. People from Eastern states are very much aware of this and act accordingly. On the other hand, I wonder how Australians perceive this situation, and how much Goethe's old adage, “the best slave is the one who thinks he is free,” applies.

But there's no need to do anything technically illegal companies discuss how to screw employees and customers as industry groups all the time. They reach agreements not to do various things and to co-ordinate spending on political lobbying. They will for example try to share your salary data using an intermediary to avoid one of them giving you a larger raise. That helps both companies that might lose you and companies that are trying to hire you for bellow what free market wages would settle on if we all had the same information.
It's kind of dead-ish because there aren't big edges and most people who play online are decent enough. Online poker has been deteriorating for years (with maybe a small uptick due to the pandemic). But this article could have been written a few years ago, there's nothing new in it.
Using flash on color negative film is a very different experience from digital. Xenon flashes do really well with film, and don't blow out highlights like digital, giving a smooth rolloff that's very pleasing to the eye.

This is only true if you only view images on a smartphone. Blow them up on a 23 inch or larger monitor and you'll notice tons of digital NR, artifacting, and other fuckery where the image processing algorithms have tried to recover detail and not really done so all that well.
Narrative and Metaverse, Pt. 1: The Living Word
That's basically what I was saying above. If you need all that a modern tractor has to offer you don't have much of a choice. If you need to farm on a smaller scale, an older (and much easier to repair) and much cheaper model is always a possibility. Although the used market is insanely expensive now I would guess.
Online poker has already been evolving in this direction. Any serious player who plays online will use player assistance tools (such as PIOsolver). Top level poker AI such as Pluribus has already proven that it can hold its own and beat the best online players such as linuslove. It is well known that online poker sites are full of poker bots now. There are programs to help users try to tell if they are playing against a bot by seeing how fast it reacts on each hand, for example if it always takes a fixed amount of time on each hand or if there is a pattern.
To argue in favor of your point. Big vertically integrated firms often become insulated from economic, technical, and business realities. This eventually leads to politics winning out over technical or business savvy. At the extremes you'll have companies burning 10s of billions on pet projects going nowhere, or software engineers producing 0 lines of code per year.

I wouldn't be surprised if this effect could even be mathematically quantified.

This board probably has members of a club made up people (mostly middle aged men in the U.S., with some members in Canada and Australia) who collect washing machines.

I'm not sure that chemistry or metallurgy are strict requirements for industrialization. My impression is that any form of mechanization is very helpful.

For example, the Netherlands started out industrializing on wind power using wood and rope and cloth, ...actually they still use a lot of wind power today, though now with exotic composites. (At some point in between there were traditional windmills that were still being updated with odd things like aviation leading edge slats made of aluminium up to something like the 1950s! )

So -while speculative and certainly open to discussion- in some alternate history Romans could have had some sort of industrial system, though it might not look like something we would immediately recognize.

I'm trying to convey the intuition that if you have a perfectly workable society based on slavery (the cheapest form of labor), you don't have as strong an incentive to start using machines instead. Conversely, I have the impression that the abolition of slavery in the 19th century is one of the big contributors to our modern industrial society.

I'm just being cautious wrt saying that most low wage work wouldn't cost 10x to automate. One can never be sure one hasn't missed an example somewhere.

Of course, if we find some examples of low wage work that really do cost more than 10X the cost of the work needed to automate it, possibly we've been under-valuing those tasks all along.
But isn't that just a roundabout way of describing whataboutism?

The add-on is called Widget, your can find it by googling Termux Widget.

When I press on the widget it runs yt-dlp on my phone. There are no other devices involved in the process, just my phone.
That would work equally well with LTE. It's not happening because it would increase cost.
I love to see these updates. Wine has been so useful here that I started buying some old Windows games from Gog even though they don't specify Linux compatibility. I also went back to a vendor I used to use for Windows software and bought their latest version once I found it worked perfectly for my purposes in Wine. So, huge thanks to the Wine developers.

Also, somebody has packaged Wine for Haiku OS, and it runs inside of virtualized Debian so that users can play with Windows apps. I thought that was a pretty neat idea.
"God Mode" make it seem like such an unreasonable request. How about "Owner Mode"?
Relative speeds. A slight turn by the inbound hypersonic will could move the impact/intercept point several hundred miles left or right. If you are the ground-launch interceptor that shift left or right requires a much larger turn, a turn requiring much greater energy on your part than the hypersonic spent making the smaller turn. Say the inbound hypersonic just turned a few degrees east. The interceptor fired towards the old western trajectory might now have to turn around and head east, meaning it no longer has enough energy to get to the new intercept point.
The title "Show HN: Stop Putting AWS Credentials in GitHub Secrets" to me sounds like it's exposing some sort of specific vulunerability or similar but I might just be overreacting because of all the recent hacks.

A title like "Show HN: A GitHub action to help using AWS credentials" sounds more appropriate to me, saying what it is and what it does instead of saying what not to do.

It feels wrong to call it misuse when you’re literally using it the way Tesla has previously, is currently, and will continue to market it.
> I don't think I'd call say someone who got caught with a scary mushroom 10 years ago a fool for wanting to be able to defend himself and his family.

I would. How well will he be able to defend his family from jail, after he's arrested for illegal possession of a firearm? If he decides he doesn't want to be arrested, how well will he do with his 3D printed gun in a shootout with the police? Will he do well enough to avoid jail time?

You're engaging in some weird fantasy. The world doesn't actually work the way you might wish it to, and if you pretend it does (and take action on that fantasy) you're very unlikely to do better than a sovereign citizen does in court (i.e. fail totally, with everyone shaking their head about how nuts you are).
> He lacks your confidence.

But why? I'm trying to learn here. I'm know I'm autistic and don't understand anyone. It's clear that there's a huge difference in how I perceive git versus how a lot of people apparently perceive it. I'm trying to understand how other people perceive it but nobody will tell me!
Hey orf!

You are correct this GitHub action is at its core is very similar! Even though the initial instructions don't prescribe it, the biggest differentiator is that SAML.to supports a centralized permissions configuration across all repositories for a user, project or organization:

https://github.com/saml-to/assume-aws-role-action/blob/main/...

Also, this action is the tip of the iceberg of what SAML.to aims to provide (check out https://saml.to), for example:

- Store Role Assumption and Privileges as Code (the saml-to.yml config file)
- A command line interface to login and assume roles
- Free (or affordable) for small teams or individuals
- Additional Automations, Webhooks, SCIM, etc

Not really. They're claiming that it isn't the _user_ that's scribbling on the HTML page, which is why their HTML (their customers' HTML specifically) is different from books.

Perhaps it would have limited libraries from re-lending books that a patron scribbled on. But not automatically, it would require a second court case.
I mean if the candidate would insist that the smartphone sends a signal to the satellite, you can go on and ask "what kind of data?" -"Nothing, just a PING to which the satellite answers with a PONG that contains its position". This is not at all how GPS works, but this system would also work (in a sense you could determine your position on earth based on the RTT + transmitted satellite coordinate). It is not that the candidate should come up with a perfectly correct solution (actually this could be bad because he could just blindly repeat what he/she read without understanding it) - its whether he/she can come up with a solution for the problem at all. In the interview you could still go into discussion about that approach then (what about undirected energy dissipation for contacting a thousands-of-km away satellite, and problems with time-multiplexing transmissions now on the satellite that has to answer individual requests vs broadcast etc.).
It might be worth putting together a chat between matrix and a few of us! I have some thoughts on this too, having written two differently designed CRDTs with diamond types.

Replaying a series of changes from an operation log is quite doable (blog post incoming). But having a way to compress / annotate the operation stream will lead to far better performance in lots of ways. Especially as Kevin says - with CRDTs like Yjs and automerge which consider document order (not time order) as the canonical representation.

> (far more likely they won't report the bugs if they have no way to prove their alternative query plan actually performs better, eg: by adding a hint).

They don't need to run an alternative plan, they just need to report that the main plan did far more work than needed.

In the real world, when users have a problem in their mission-critical system, they ask for a solution, not just give up on the mission.

> Many are just assertions which I highly doubt would hold up if validated ("most of the time the optimizer is actually right", "hints in queries require massive refactoring" ...).

Pretty much everything is in conflict.

POSIX standarized and attempted to unify a dozen different incompatible systems that developed independently on top of the original unix from bell labs. Those systems were developed by building new functionality on top of what unix provided. In order to keep at least some sort of compatibility the old and at times obsolete functionality was kept in the system.

Plan 9 on the other hand intentionally broke compatibility with its predecessors and had those same features that were glued recklessly on top of each other in various unices thoughtfully redesigned from scratch, often omitting stuff that didn't seem relevant enough to its authors.
Maybe in the people, but AIPAC is the most feared lobby group across both sides of the isle for politicians. Russiagate is a joke compared to how much influence they have on our foreign policy, and its a travesty that their activities and heavy-handed influence is spoken of so quietly if at all.

Because the hypersonic missile has an air breathing engine and/or goes much faster, so it has a lot of energy to expend.

Also, a very slight change in trajectory by a missile far away requires a much larger change in trajectory for the interceptor, because the interceptor has to go to where the missile is projected to be, meaning that the interceptor is always at a disadvantage.
