It seems strange to imagine telling someone who isn't going to experience anything ever again anything at all.
They could authorize an agent to authorize provider usage. The agent could apply provider-specific policies, and potentially monitor record requests to try to identify fraud, waste, or abuse, and so forth. The patient regularly reviews a report of actions taken by the agent to adjust configuration or revoke authorization. Could be an interesting approach!

For the same reason you may want to use or not use memory allocations when doing something 1 time per second or 1 million times per second. Performance is not amenable to arguments about degree (especially when talking about this many orders of magnitude in degree).
How exceptional exceptions really are depends on the code being run.

I'd argue software engineering is still too hard for ML engineers. Most of ML (not research but commercial applications of what's already been demonstrated) is now well within the realm of engineering, but there are few standard practices, bodies of knowledge, or agreed on processes for doing anything. These are problems that engineering formalism solve, not another auto-ml tool. Maybe I'm saying the same thing as the article, just framed differently?

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar.

It also uses Hypervisor Framework for much faster speeds on the Mac:

> UTM employs Apple's Hypervisor virtualization framework to run ARM64 operating systems on Apple Silicon at near native speeds. On Intel Macs, x86/x64 operating system can be virtualized. In addition, lower performance emulation is available to run x86/x64 on Apple Silicon as well as ARM64 on Intel. For developers and enthusiasts, there are dozens of other emulated processors as well including: ARM32, MIPS, PPC, and RISC-V.

Trump is a top influencer. He was literally a US president.

The target group is likely banned from other social networks. But they aren't illegal.

Show HN: I made a tool to create product tutorials
Breaking is mostly self-inflicted. I followed the 123qwe.com version of the ISPmail tutorial, but made some changes to fit in with my aged Nextcloud setup. This caused a few hiccups. Changes were -- mysql not postgres, allowing mail logins by username as opposed to email address.

The other problems I've had were

* Mr Tutorial likes really tight TLS restrictions but some of my mail clients can't cope with them.

* Turned on IPv6, had correct reverse DNS but forgot to put the v6 address in my SPF record. DMARC said "be strict" so gmail started rejecting my email.

* Random markings-as-spam by gmail. This seems to be slowing down.

* I've got the Dovecot xapian plugin but it doesn't feel like it's making searches faster. Need to make sure my IMAP client is actually doing server-side searches though!

* Turned on port 465 (TLS submission), cannot get it to work so still doing STARTTLS on port 587

Also I knew that exim system inside out, I felt I really understood how exim processed mail. Now I don't have the time to learn postfix inside out in the same way. Oh to be an eternal university student again...

One thing that has helped is the trick I worked out a few years back of hosting everything inside an lxc container on btrfs. I can snapshot and backup the whole system including database. Moving to a new hosting company means building another minimal debian system and rsyncing the container over. Borg backup of snapshots gives me confidence they can be restored, I'm not going to be backing up a database file while it's being written to.

Moving my gmail over was the biggest pain, due to gmail being labels-not-folders. Spent quite a lot of time on some python code to spider my email and apply rules to remove duplicate messages. Lots of corner cases pop up there.

What is the irony?
The USA has a per capita death rate 300% that of Canada's. We have worked together here to keep one another safe, often at great personal sacrifice, and it has worked quite well all things considered. This is an expression of mutual solidarity and civic spirit, not evidence of stalinism.

I think this emergency act stuff is very bad, but Canada's response to Covid has been head and shoulders better than the USA and the death counts show it. I'm happy, as an American, to live up here where human life is valued.
You provide them accounting from your fake business which accepts only monero payments for digital goods and doesn’t keep access logs?

This is really basic stuff. You will never be caught unless other evidence leads them from the original crime to you.

Unless you fuck up it’s not possible to link incoming Moneroj to any specific source, this means that you can fairly easily hide your money laundering activities even from somebody with full visibility into your business.
Notably, the single menu item in Firefox does what it says on this page, so this page doesn't demonstrate why having just one menu item is a problem.
I personally disagree, I don't want to downplay the power of having stand alone applications - but having one application that can help me matchmake in games and helps keep all those games up to date while clearly (and non-obnoxiously) advertising new features or DLCs for those games. Steam does this things really cleanly and I don't want to return to the world where each application has to self-update whenever I launch it.
I think there was something missed. The specific "tools" that Freeland is referencing ARE the powers to freeze those bank accounts. That IS the major tool that the government did not have.

I understand why Freeland would not want to outright say "we want the permanent power to freeze funds with no recourse" - but that's the only conclusion I could reach based on that clip.

Keep in mind, the government had the power to seize/freeze assets, before this Emergency Act, as long as they had a court order. However, that low bar seemed to be too high a hurdle so the Liberals want to make this permanent.
Piaget's water-level task[1] is an experiment where participants are shown a bottle with its water level marked and are asked where the water level should be in various rotations of the bottle. Female participants for some reason fail the task at significantly higher rates than male participants, and this test has been replicated all over the world.

But fastmail has the benefit of scale, that you will never have. And the cost of your time, if you don't inherently enjoy it, is too much.

I dumped everything to move to Google and I am happy with the results. With the deprecation of the free Google Worspaces - I'm open to switching to Fastmail.... But nothing will make me move to self hosted.

I'm just a software engineer and I don't want to waste my time.
This has been a very hard problem to solve, mostly because of the ways in which delivery problems have to be solved (support mailboxes, abuse portals etc.) where unless you are 'big' you are not going to get the priority needed to get delivery back on track in a reasonable time at reasonable scale. Very annoying situation to be in.

You're not doing anything either when you are reading a book. It is just another form of information consumption.

The news can be useful for finding out about new trends, specially in technology. Bitcoin was in the news, like Business Insider, as early as 2012. Simeone who reads the news could have acted on that and made a fortune. Many other examples. Imagine reading the news in 2017 about the iPhone and buying Apple stock. Or about the Google IPO in 2004 and buying Google stock. The news cannot tell you what to do, but it can make you at lest aware of something.

So is software engineering
Hi HN,

My name is Rahul Sarathy and I posted TextFrame a few months ago on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29234636) as a tool to create animated technical papers. After gathering feedback from the community, I found that the best use case for my tool was for creating tutorials.

I am proud to share my next iteration as a tool to create animated product tutorials. Hopefully you can find use in it to create more engaging tutorials for onboarding and helping out your users.

You can check out some examples I’ve created using the software: at https://textframe.app/examples

Please let me know what you think! You can also email me at rahul@textframe.app if you have any questions or just want to say hello
Wasn't the ambassador bridge cleared before the emergency was declared?

To your second point.. I've watched mainstream media in Canada and watched livestreams coming out of Ottawa, and have no heard of this _at all_. Is there actual evidence of this?
True, forming memories at that time might simply be unnecessary overhead since you're not likely to turn back without significant medical help. Memories that will never be accessed are just pointless.

But so are hiccups, who knows...
Yes, seriously, most nights I am kept awake by that same existential dread. since I was too young to even know how to speak, actually. it's haunted me my entire life. I am of the fundamental belief that consciousness is nothing more than the functioning of our biological brain. I've never seen even the tiniest shred of evidence to suggest otherwise (in fact I have become more and more certain as I live more years on this earth and observe more humans in varying states of functioning/life/consciousness/etc.) ...
Do you have advice on finding more resources for local news? It seems my local sources are just as biased as the national ones, and most pieces read like puff pieces to prop up political careers, hit pieces (my local news transportation writer loves to bash cal hsr), or downright advertisements just like the junk from the national outlets. A lot of local stuff that does sometimes directly impact me doesn't even seem to get written about unless there is some financial or electoral incentive to print. I feel like you almost have to work at city hall to get an understanding of the politicking between the city departments and city/county government interactions with what little drips its way out, heavily diluted into a handful of paragraphs, into local news outlets. What little does get out even from seemingly benign departments like sanitation could make for a long winded docuseries easily, so there is plenty there but no one wants to step up and shine a light on it these days at least. Maybe the environment for journalists is too litigious? I've never seen an LA times journalist accuse a blatantly corrupt politician of anything remotely improper before the FBI perp walks them out of city hall, for example (perhaps they do but these pieces don't seem very common), whereas I would expect to see these articles connecting obvious dots well before FBI indictments if the fourth estate were doing its job.
I want to know that the hardware will work with linux, and will continue to work with linux.

Well common then bunj. Jump on the kicads and fart out a add on board for your dual usb type A's, or any of the other add ons you mentioned. I mean hell why not just go all out and slap usb-c double sided on a single PCB! You should be able to cram at least 4 in the same area!

Point is you can do that w/ framework. Fat luck getting dell or some other behemoth to design a device you can do that with. They have done a stellar job given how many have had hopes and dreams to do similar but haven't even got a product in people's hands.
Things don't happen in a vacuum.

Putin is a result of what happened under Yeltsin, where some people got very rich and the rest had to suffer.
Crimea is gone and it's not coming back. That much has been clear pretty much since day 1 of annexation. It's a strategic port, and there was a chance of a color revolution handing it to NATO. I could imagine the Kazakh cosmodrome driving a similar wedge, depending on how and if unrest grows there. Neither would imply Putin or the Russian leaders more broadly want something like "lebensraum".

In fact, Russia can't sustain an Afghanistan level war/quagmire, which is what a broader Ukrainian invasion would be. Even if they had designs beyond Abkhazia/SO style "independence movement support", I don't think they could afford (militarily, not economically) to follow through. Maybe I'm wrong and this will be like the 2nd Chechen war. I think it won't. Plenty of Western powers are already more than happy to supply "lethal aid", i.e., weapons and munitions, to Ukraine, even with neo-Nazi groups involved. The same could not be said for the Islamic fighters in Chechnya (AFAIK).

And I don't think Minsk 2 was a bluff. Neither Ukraine nor Russia are honoring it. Ukraine needs to stop implementing discriminatory language and education laws, and seriously seek to implement some form of regional autonomy. Russia needs to withdraw its forces (it was pretending it hadn't deployed any). Neither side wishes to "give in" to the other. Neither side are "the good guys", or a "beacon of democracy", or "anti-imperialists", and deserving of military support.

I wish that there had been more focus on the fact that the West could have relatively easily applied pressure to make a more serious attempt at implementing Minsk 2. But instead, everything is reduced to a battle of good and evil.
They are, why else would PRC stress importance of UK sovereignty in official statements. Because PRC cares about norms not noninterference if it decides to move on TW. Also, why approval and not acquiescence? Russia is not PRC puppet, there aren't comparable political arrangements unlike US and her satraps for PRC to pressure RU.

>Since 1960 China

You basically listed a bunch of events that are consistent with what PRC considers to be domestic issues since the 1960s, i.e. territorial disputes, supporting secessionist forces in TW. Vietnam land war was over security (like Korea), PRC retreated after operations, and ideally PRC would hope RU does as well, hence no recognition of Crimea annexation. CCP does not endorse private companies fish in other countries EEZs. Nor is PRC in violation of UNCLOS norms at UN. Nor do secondary sanctions blocking PRC market which PRC adopted from US toolkit a violation of German sovereignty. Regardless, the point is the spectrum is more than binary approval / disapproval.
Just one more accessory you have to buy, carry, and overall it's more enjoyable not to wear one.
I don't think the geo matters much. The bots seem to be scanning the entire IPv4 address space. This is the one big benefit I try to pitch to people who are considering IPv6. In all my years of log monitoring I have only ever seen a single bot attack my network over IPv6, and that was the one I manually programmed to make sure the detection system was working. The search space is just too large for the full internet sweeps that bots make.
Among name-brand devices you will probably find they respect HDCP flags. Among random third-party devices, I am guessing that more often than not you will find they don't.

I wanted to do some capture from a PS3, as another commenter mentions they set HDCP on all output (even games) and my Elgato capture card does respect this flag. A $15 HDMI "output splitter" will strip this however, and conveniently this also means that my game does not run through the capture card (with any latency that might entail - along with having to run the capture PC even when I do not want to capture) but rather goes console -> splitter -> tv which is about as low-latency as you can get.

Note that HDCP has multiple versions - your video source might support HDCP 2.3 while your TV might only support HDCP 2.2, and that's largely fine, most content will be allowed to fall back to the older standards (which can be broken). However 4K content/etc at the highest quality levels (eg from streaming/etc) often is not allowed to be delivered at the lower quality levels - Netflix will drop the resolution if it doesn't like the DRM chain it sees (eg no SGX enclave or insufficient HDCP level) and things like a BluRay player where there's no fallback might refuse to play at all (or might similarly fall back to a 1080p downscaled output, etc).

Home videos shouldn't have HDCP flags set at all, so it's hard to say what might be happening there, but it's possible there's just some broad-spectrum "if resolution == 4K THEN require_hdcp_2.3()" type thing. I would look at the particular types of content that it's barfing on and see if there's a correlation like resolution or source device and go from there. It's a bit of a pain for sure.

Also - while HDCP 2.2 and below are thoroughly broken even by garden-variety devices at this point - HDCP 2.3 is still pretty tight. There's a few (expensive) devices that claim to do it, but it's not something you'll find in the $15 tier of "splitters". If that's the requirement, figure on paying several hundred dollars. It's gonna be easier to figure out why the Apple TV is turning on HDCP and get it to stop than to break the HDCP.
For those of us who are semi-good at all three paths, our long-haul choices depend quite heavily on how the wider world either opens unexpected opportunities for us, or gradually chokes them off.

In my own (non-technical) case, I had a great 15-year run as a top-of-the-heap IC -- and then my outfit got bought by people whose business model had no use for what I did. Time to do something different, and with it being 2008, going independent felt a whole lot smarter than trying to find a new star-IC role in a scared industry.

Going independent was good for 7-8 years, but then my favorite partners at my favorite clients all got to the end of their roads. New faces; new visions, and the unappealing prospect of spending 3-4 years trying to revive a shrunken pool of business into something better.

A star-IC role opened up somewhere else, and it's been a great ride ever since.

It's the career equivalent of summers in Alaska; winters in the Caribbean. Sometimes the key to staying warm and happy is to be willing to move when the temperature changes.

Perhaps true user-friendliness is achieved not when the user can no longer have any bad experiences, but rather when the user's bad experiences are still superior to the alternative...?
Perf Avg? I thought the M1 was absurdly fast, no?
This is an interesting perspective. I feel like a frog in a pot of boiling water, the discourse in my life is just getting gradually worse and most of the media is happy to gaslight people into thinking...Well, anything that gets a click. I'd be interested to hear any more of your perspective.
Yeah, it felt like a sales person being confused why can't become an expert fullstack software engineer on up to date modern stacks without a lot of effort and time.

It doesn't have to have adaptive benefits. The critical path is molded by natural selection but the rest grows wild, mutating as it pleases until it either helps or hinders gene replication.

For example, if humans exploded like a bomb when we died the way some insects do to protect their colony, that might be selected for or against by evolution. Or if somehow eating the deceased's heart or brain actually transferred their strength or memories to the consumer, as some cultures believed. But no, death by old age just doesn't interest evolution.
I'm down for a friendly or small sum bet. You'll see a major escalation in about a week. Russians will be firing missiles and artillery and dropping bombs in Ukraine proper in March.

I certainly hope I lose.
