If you choose to handle PII you have to keep track of where it ends up. Feeding PII into a black box and pretending it isn't there anymore without taking reasonable precautions, especially on something like ML that is known to leak its input, doesn't seem like it should be an option. If you don't know the safe assumption should be that the ML model can leak PII and should be destroyed along with the training data.
> The Ipv6 pool is quite vast. Yet I am a little surprised that an individual can receive a /48 without much trouble: that a lot of IPs.

A /48 is considered one "site" in current thinking. Since IPv6 subnets are /64, you have 16 bits between the /48 and the /64. This is the equivalent of using 10/8 for your network and using /24 IPv4 subnets: in both cases you can have upto 2^16 subnets.

The main difference being that a /24 can have ~250 hosts, but a /64 IPv6 subnet can hold the equivalent of four billion Internets (2^32 * 2^32).

But one of the selling points of IPv6 is reducing/eliminating the mental math about worrying about if you have "enough" addresses (and then carving things into /26, /30, etc).

That's a very likely outcome. Saudi Arabia passed its own GDPR (the PDPL) which does not permit the transfer of Saudi PII outside the Kingdom except in "extreme" circumstances.
I don't follow this argument. If, say, half the people completely ignored the rules then doesn't that make them only half as effective and cause half the economic pain?

Lots of people don't comply with speed limits but that doesn't prove speed limits ineffective.
I'm not working in safety critical systems, but our embedded OS doesn't do any dynamic memory allocation at all, and Rust still helps quite a bit even without that.

I made no mention of free speech. I'm Canadian and support the significant mechanisms we have in place to combat hate speech!

My point is only that speech is not violence. One does not need to change the meaning of the word violence in order to place sensible restrictions on speech. It is a cheap rhetorical trick.

This kind of pushed me away from HA. I've ended up using integrations built using hc [0] to bridge devices to HomeKit, either existing or ones I've built, and then using Promtheus to collect metrics. It's not something that 'just works', but I feel much happier with how it works than HA.

Yes -- and you can definitely see evidence of greater upward mobility in the current cinema system; more directors who move quickly from indie films to major movies etc.
I meant that colloquially, as in nobody buys that it's real (even when the attempt is to pass it off as being so).
They'll water it down to the point where they figure they make more money anyway.
My story’s similar to @dnilasor’s sibling comment except with a little twist. I’m a Dev Advocate at Render now but used to be a Dev Advocate at Heroku.

I’m very excited about the potential future of Render.
I had been using LibreOffice for a year and found that it is extremely buggy. Scrolling starts lagging as long as you have lots of commends on the page. If track changes is turned on, sometimes spaces are inserted in the wrong place. Sometimes it crashes during editing (although it recovered my documents), and such.

It can do some basic editing, but is far less complete compared to MS Office.

Anyways, its PDF editor is great.
Can you explain? Was there a competitor to Linux that never surfaced?
I've really wanted to get into this to some extent but it's such a complex (and expensive!) topic that I really would like some distilled knowledge from someone who's been through it and figured out what works and what doesn't, the pitfalls, etc. This is probably a good place to ask - does anyone know of a reliable guide (or ideally blog) to get started? Or maybe would be a good topic for a future HN submission.

My personal focus would be on cloud-free/self-hosted systems. Looping through the cloud as a convenience is fine but I don't really want to rely on cloudshit 100% for the operation of my house.

Also I've heard really good things about the Lutreon stuff? Not open, and not cheap, but it works, and I've heard the z-wave stuff isn't always 100%.

OP here.

When I started building this a year and a half ago, this was my plan. Since then, (1) there has been an explosion of note apps and (2) I realized that I do not really feel enthusiastic about building out commodity features needed for that. Instead, I am slowly building for myself, experimenting with different ideas and workflows[1], and sharing them on my blog, with the hope that someone else picks them up.

Alternatively, if I wait long enough, the "note app" part will become a commodity itself, and I can implement the interface/workflows on top of it. Quarto[2] looks promising in that regard. Their visual editor[3], which is used in R Studio, is really good.

Have a look at the first chart in the article. It shows $844B in stimulus checks and $666B in enhanced unemployment benefits. That alone is $1.5T paid directly to citizens, even without counting anything else.
Yes. Well that's true if there is little content shared and you are considering it from the perspective of your whole friends list. Generally people are selecting who they want to share to, and sharing things they otherwise wouldn't because there is a heightened level of comfort with their audience. Would love you to give it a try and tell me the same thing after a few friends are on there!

If you mean it stops people using social media, it doesn't. But if you're talking about how people thus far have shared content on the app, they share much more authentically because they are sharing to a small group of people who they have personally selected. It's also outside of the spaces where they normally post more pristine things, which helps.
Which is a sentiment I wouldn't dismiss. If you have visited Singapore and SF the contrast will hit you in your face hard. To US folks, Singaporeans lack political freedom. To Singaporeans, US friends lack a clean habitat, safety, healthcare, and bunch of other factors that should be a given in modern society. They see the sad wealth gap here (and hence the influence of money on democracy), the growing idiocracy, and a country once on top now sadly in fast decline. So maybe we should hear them out and learn the good parts.
Which direction in feature space do you move in response to "you inept POS"?
I would never have known that the painting was pasted in had I not read it here. I have been contemplating watching the movie again, maybe I should wait another year or two first. Now I want to pay more attention to this detail.
I was surprised it was flagged and am curious why that was. There was a lot of discussion there. I assume that quite a few folks must have flagged it for it to have disappeared as it did. Unless there was a moderator play involved for some reason (or coordinated flagging by Singapore citizens, or perhaps YC interests in Singapore). I can't think of a reason otherwise.

But corporate builders aren't concerned about that. They do shoddy work because they know they can get away with it. It's just good enough that an overworked inspector will pass it, but by the time the buyer moves in and the honeymoon period has ended, the corporation which built it has been dissolved and its profits reabsorbed into the parent company. Good luck going after them at that point.
repetitive code like this.foo = foo; this.bar = bar etc...

This sort of boilerplate code is best solved by the programming language. Either via better built-in syntax or macros. Using an advanced machine learning model to generate this code is both error-prone and a big source of noise and code bloat. This is not an issue that will go away with better tooling; it will only get worse.

> I know where to find it.

Then it will be from known source right? And not from new source like this system is blocking you from, right?

This is against NEW content, from people that are not known.

Once more people see them, once you keep watching them as you believe in them, then yeah that restriction will disappear. There's a reason why this is asking people to subscribe...
There might be even more esoteric variables that influence the appearance of crashes, e.g. which typefaces are used in your documents.

I am pretty sure that we do not use the same typefaces, as I do not use any of the typefaces that are distributed as default in Linux, but I use some commercial typefaces, which I have purchased separately.

I believe that the only way for such elusive bugs to be solved is that whoever experiences the crashes should attempt to create a reproducible crash and file a bug report.
Sad to see Heroku falling by the wayside.

It was truly revolutionary when it came out, and I have yet to see anything that makes it so dead simple to spin up a side project or just a 'live mockup'.

It still works great for my team for review apps on every pull request, which is great for live testing and avoiding contention around a staging server.
> Still, we know that even while we don't have access to capital T truth, nature has the rules in place to make the Natural Selection of our paradigms to compete until one of these ideological constructs converge to capital T truth forcing the rest to reveal themselves as false truths that appeared to be valid up to a point by certain individuals in certain epoch of history.

This seems like a fairly ambitious claim, is it a formal idea in philosophy or some other field, and does it happens always/usually or only sometimes?

I'm building a percussion PWA at https://github.com/infojunkie/drumkit. The main idea is to create a simple mobile-based app that can be used in live jamming situations (eg by plugging the mobile audio jack into a mixer). It's working well but I need help on the UX / graphics / branding side, so I would appreciate to hear from app designers. Thanks!
I think this is an instance of the symptoms being mistaken for the disease. CGI did not ruin movies, it was the demand for shallow, detached, visual excess that has pushed aside story telling altogether in favor of cheap tricks.

There are still good stories, but they make nothing like the movies with big explosions and apocalyptic visions ... insert Michael Bay joke here ..., but it's really also just a set of people taking advantage of and serving a systemic, cultural, and civilizational degradation and contraction, or even possibly an implosion. Michael Bay got rich/famous off spamming explosions because that appealed to the masses. People of the past would have likely found all these movies today extremely boring and repetitive, because they are. For example, I can recall exactly one movie I have ever seen that was not a "all ends well" ending. Essentially every single movie today is guaranteed to end a single way. There are no tragedies anymore, it's essentially all comedies (in the classical, not the modern sense), it's this weird mental drug that has been created that feeds only endorphins. It's boring and stunting.

Just like movies did not ruin books, CGI did not ruin movies. They are merely phases on a clear degradation of our society and civilization where the people keep making poorer and poorer decisions. It's really not any different than the negative feedback loop of weight gain; more weight, means less likely to work out, which leads to physiological changes that make overeating more likely and has a negative impact on mental state, which acts as barrier to engaging in rigorous physical activity ... which starts the cycle over.

"CGI ruined movies" because our society has been getting mentally less healthy and our standards, expectations, discipline, and principles have been dropping like rocks. It's the symptom, not the cause.
Definitely get where you're coming from here - have noted.
There's certainly a lot of use of it, but it's painfully obvious when they do so. I think with some more time and practice many studios could make it harder to tell the difference - but it might negate a lot of the cost savings (making more fluid animations rather than the very stiff ones commonly seen, taking advantage of squash/stretch so the movements don't seem so perfect like they were done using computer animation, etc.).

Some shows/movies make it work well enough because there's things other than the animation that keep you watching, some use it for walking/transition scenes where it's easier to "blend" it in since it's background to the dialogue most of the time; but I really wouldn't say the "2d animation look" is even close to being achieved in many cases right now. Again, not because I feel the tooling is incapable of it - but because doing it right would nullify the cost savings and defeating the purpose.
We have the option of selling a home we own (but don't currently live in). It was built by my grandfather in law in the 1950 so over 70 years old. We could sell it for market rate (bout $1.5M) or renovate it (making it much larger, better layout, etc) for about $600K.

I kind of rationalized that the house is still solid after 70 years, I know pretty much every inch of the superstructure now, so why not just renovate?
The comment you are responding to discusses air exchange systems to supply more fresh air than simply dealing with a leaky old house. So both absolutely more wasteful and also less enjoyable than a modern and well-designed system.

> Yet despite his best efforts, I cannot help but notice that digital post-processing seems to have ruined Villeuneve’s more realistic vision

I get the criticism of bad/overused CGI these days but the post-processing of Dune is a really bad example here.

I'm a big fan of both movies but the post effect on Dune is clearly an artistic choice that makes it look more dramatic and dreamy.

If it looked like Lawrence of Arabia it would totally change the vibe of the movie.

Why would I want it to look like it took place on Earth?
In the section "Short Selling and Covering Short Positions" is a chart on page 27 that shows the short interest for GME. It shows the short interest dropping precipitously, meaning that the majority of positions were closed.
Right, but the original comment didn't specify that, so sounded a bit weird to me.

tesla bad clickbait.

of course FSD does crazy shit right now; it's beta and it's learning! That's why you agree to not become complacent and have full control over steering at all times.

in my experience, it works well 95% of the time, but the 5% unpredictability factor is way too high, which is why I don't use it with passengers in the car unless asked to do so. more specifically, I might manually maneuver the car less than 2 miles out of a 20 mile trip with FSD beta enabled, which is an improvement over the 5 miles I would manually maneuver with FSD stable. but it's getting better, and it's definitely better than anything else you can use on public roads, so I'm sticking with it.
Congrats! It's impressive to go from learning to code, to shipping a product with this level of polish, in less than two years.

I tried to build essentially the same thing on top of Matrix (and got rejected from YC in the process) - I haven't tried the app yet but I have some initial thoughts and questions. I really hope you succeed with this; forgive me if I come across as a skeptic.

#1 question: every notable social app had some clever strategy and/or shenanigans to attract a critical mass. What's your plan to tackle the network effect problem? Maybe 10% of the value of a social app is the UX, the other 90% is that the people I care about are there.

Are posts end-to-end encrypted, or encrypted at rest? Your video says E2EE but your landing page says encrypted at rest. There's no wiggle room for confused messaging on this. Your blog says you're using Matrix but one of your comments here suggests you abandoned that idea? If so, I'm curious to hear why. Are/were you sharing content directly in Matrix rooms, or storing encrypted content in an object store and using Matrix as a key sharing mechanism, or something else? Can you say more about the problems you encountered?

The landing page design is slick, but there's too much motion pulling my attention all over the place, and too many red flags. The animation for "Automatic Contacts" evokes a feeling that you're going to swallow up my address book and send unsolicited requests to my friends as soon as I sign up. The alarm bell with red dot is an anti-pattern. It feels weird to see all the other social networks I can integrate into my profile, considering this is squarely aimed at people who have rejected those other apps.

Your video says there are no ads, there never will be, and users are not the product. How, then, are you going to thrive in such an intensely competitive space?
Well, you can frame this both ways, because the contract clause, allowing people to (by default) sign binding contracts, also counts towards "grant the people permission to do something". And that's what this is — the farmer signing a contract to use the equipment in a certain way.

As much as this law makes sense, the blanket right to form contracts between individuals/businesses/etc (when those contracts are not explicitly deemed abusive) is very important and I don't think we would be in a better place without it.

During long distance highway driving, foot/ankle muscles get tired out and sore holding the gas pedal constantly. Also, some people are very bad at maintaining a constant speed, frequently accelerating and then releasing the pedal, so their speed looks like a sine wave, which absolutely destroys fuel economy. For those people, cruise control improves efficiency.
Can someone explain to me what the actual ruling is? Is the agency in question out of compliance, their specific implementation of a consent pop up, or the entire concept of a consent popup?

We use a consent pop up for non-advertising related cookies. And I'm trying to figure out if we are no longer in compliance.
The problem with coupling content too tightly to a particular place is that it places too heavy a burden on that place to support all the different types of users that might want to interact with the content.

For instance, I like to hang out in math twitter. I wish I was taking classes from these professors, but instead I just think about their tweets and ask myself: "that's a neat claim, could I prove it?"

Twitter isn't the place for getting feedback on proofs, and I don't really want to hijack the thread with an external link, so I just do it on paper and throw it away. But what would be cooler is if I could create a link between my proof and the conversation that inspired it. Maybe some other aspiring student will notice it and start a dialog with me where we can learn from each other.

Sure, I could post a link to overleaf or some other place that supports LaTeX collaboration but now anybody who wants to collaborate must go create an identity on that platform, and now we have the same problem all over again if somebody else, for instance, wants to play around with it via proof assistant software.

You get this proliferation of third parties who have to manage a permissions mess re: who can read/append/edit what and how to render it to users with different preferences--to say nothing of alterior motives on the part of the platform.
> ... for the off->on transition and another for the on->off. It'd be nice to set a rule that defines a level rather than an edge and have it internally do the transformation

The "solution" I found was to poll, and use "choose", and sometimes some helper switches for state, to do what is needed. But, I think at any reasonable level of complexity, you're better off using one of the three python components: the one built into Home Assistant, pyscript, or AppDaemon.

Home Assistant Python: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/python_script/
No imports.

pyscript: https://github.com/custom-components/pyscript
Full python. Supports Jupyter. Straightforward.

AppDaemon: https://appdaemon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/HASS_TUTORIAL.htm...
Full python. A little lower level. Allows the creation of dashboards.

PageRank worked when humans were creating content across a huge number of sites. Once you start consolidating the humans (Medium), then the organic content and the machine generated content start to blur together. And the machine sites can collude to make their content look more organic than organic. Today there's 10x as much of it so if only 20% of the organic content is high quality, that's practically in the noise floor for the sorts of graphs I stare at in any given week.

Perhaps what's missing here is a garbage collection algorithm. Whatever they are using as 'roots' is not working, and they can no longer infer trust by association. They need to curate and review sites. Or maybe they already do, but the humans' focus is directed by heuristics and those heuristics have been gamed.

Does anyone know if Google still has a functioning QA department? Perhaps this is the same disease we see everywhere of developers thinking they understand testing when really we know just enough to be dangerous.
