I am also not a lawyer. But it seems to me that public usage of any publicly accessible resource can only be restricted by law.

Regardless of what some ToS say, they can only apply to the people who explicitly agree to them. It would not make any sense, in my opinion, to assume that such an agreement is implicitly given by merely using the resource.

Consider, for example, a situation when someone places a bench into a public park for public use. The conditions under which this bench can be used are defined by law in a sense that, as a property it should not be damaged, stolen, etc. But nothing more.

The owner of this bench might create a ToS in which they might state almost anything. For instance, they might have a clause saying that by sitting on this bench you agree to donate $10 to their cause.

But if a person sits on this bench and does not donate, they did not break any law. They merely did not agree to the ToS of this bench and used it, in accordance to all applicable law, as any other publicly accessible bench.
Pros often use commercially licensed IDEs like Keil or IAR Workbench and a bunch of other tools that only run on Windows (no matter how much they dislike Windows personally). Setting up a toolchain from scratch sounds like what hackers (i.e. those who are not professional embedded devs getting paid for such work) would do.
I had the same issue, except it was usually every couple of days they'd need replugging to resync. Only regret from running ethernet recently (yes, it was messy) is that I didn't do it 10 years ago.
They aren't the most expensive though. Value-wise, perhaps.
The fact that the two most inflential sci fi movies of all time are both cyberpunk tells you all you need to know. Even the fact they decided to make a modern CP2077, and how hyped it was, shows how much cultural force the genre still has. Neuromancer and Snow Crash are two of the best selling SF books of all time. Facebook literally named their new company Meta so they could push the 'metaverse' which was coined in Snow Crash... The list is endless honestly. Saying it's not as popular as Marvel means basically nothing. Superheroes are like modern day capitalist myths at this point. The whole purpose of those movies is to sell.
Even if all PoW energy came from renewable sources, it's extremely wasteful and I'm sure we could have used that energy on something more productive.

That's not to say the allocation mechanism in PoW isn't interesting, but that's not really good enough in itself.

I've been experimenting with energy limited PoW, something called NuPoW [1], that reduces the reward if too much energy is collectively used. But this only works if you outsource the security to an underlying chain.

I'm from Germany and sold my ETH at the peak some time ago with a profit of ~80k. It was a very strange feeling to receive that completely untaxed, as everything else is taxed here.
I assume this is nice if you have a strong benefit from not going into the cgo black box. No real surprise that auto-transpiled code isn't optimal.
That is very strange. I also have not heard it for a long time. Though it seems like trolling used to be a niche activity in which someone would say or do something specifically just to attempt to harm anyone who came across it.

But it feels like half of the news cycle has that kind of attack now, a large part of the politicians make those kinds of intentionally bad faith arguments, they've become accustomed to telling stories with the specific intention of getting people angry, I guess it gets votes. It seems like trolling was just too effective politically, you and your friends can laugh at your little sticker at the gas pump while imagining all those libs that are gonna be seething when they see what amounts to your intentionally crafted commentary, made to enrage not engage, that you place in a public service so that you have a high chance of at least making someone angry.

I think we all know who might've done the most towards normalizing such juvenile behavior. I hope we can win our civility back.
Came here to post this, if nobody had yet.

Fun fact: ~15 years ago I posted the same link to a Facebook forum.

David Fischer was in that particular forum and said something along the line of, "I am Dave Fischer, I coined that phrase, and it is still true"
Well, the original commenter clearly seems to think so. Whether that's in any way true or not is left as an exercise for the reader.
Calling an OP-1 "hardware" is a real stretch considering it is digital and doesn't even have velocity sensitive keys.
I'd think the rest of the world would be OK with letting us take the blame for these thick pizzas (thin is better).

>Funny how many smear articles against him are going on.

He was The Left's darling, now he's The Right's darling.

Personally, I think he made a mistake. I feel like Elon wants to be liked, but the celebrity/media left are now going to have their go at him.
> worried about what effects sophisticated "dumb" AI will have on human culture and expectations

It is already happening, but it is not a new phenomenon - just the prosecution of the effects of widespread inadequate education.

The undesirable effect namely is, an increase of overvaluing cheap, thin products - a decrease in recognizing actual genius, "substance". For example, some seem to be increasingly contented with "frequentism" as if convinced that language is based on it - while it is of course the opposite - one is supposed to state what is seen, and to state "plausible associations" would have been regarded as a clear sign of malfunction. There seems to be an encouragement to take for "normal" what is in fact deficient.

Some people are brought to believe that some shallow instinct is already the goal and do not know "deep instinct", trained on judgement (active digestion, not passive intake).

The example provided fits:

> production-ready digital art

For something to be artistic it has to have foundational justifications - a mockery of art is not art. The Artist chose to draw that line under a number of evaluations that made it a good choice, but an imitator, even in a copy, used the ("frequentist", by the way note) evaluation that the other is an Artist - and there is a world of depth difference between the two.

The difference is trivial, and yet, many are already brought to confuse the shallow mockery and the deep creation.
The website does not tell me much. With this tool, what are the optimum use cases?

I don't mind tools, such as low code platforms, that simplify the dev process for simple tasks - like Budibase for example. But I think these tools need purpose and an understanding of their capabilities - it would be good to know what aspect is best at.
This happens all the time. Literally. Sometimes you can kick the tires if you have a letter of intent, sometimes the offer is conditional on passing a due diligence.
Are people still having this strawman argument over if react is a library or a framework? Would my argument have changed if I'd put "framework/library" in my comment? No.
Picking it up is really easy if you have any experience with Java or C# and the QOL improvements compared to the former make it seem like a treat for me. What language are people who hate it coming from?
>This is why gonzo-extreme wealth inequality ruins the power of markets: once the marginal value of a dollar falls to zero for any given actor, they can keep a market irrational indefinitely with no penalty.

This is an excellent point. Our assumptions of rationality don't hold up as well with this amount of money. One billion dollars means something totally different to him than it means to the average person.
Always 25% of your profit at the time you sell your equity. They abolished the tax free long time rule 2009.
That happens sometimes. But other times, HR has a lot of control over FTE salaries, and little over contractors, and they compare their salary structure to other energy companies, and therefore every FTE is drastically underpaid, and gets little to no stock compensation. So in practice, a senior contractor will earn far more. This means they have a lot of trouble converting FTEs.

I've worked in places where the contractors make about double, and those where it's the FTEs that make double. You really want to get a good idea of how the organization looks before you join there, because really, both kinds exist, and you don't want to be in the wrong group.
It does not apply to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and most other securities, which I would consider somewhat relevant asset classes.

Microsoft processes a massive amount of anonymous data around user behaviour to gain insights and improve machine learning models that power many of our products and services.

Looks like this is a data gathering effort by Microsoft.
Google launches ‘open-source maintenance crew’
Then he laughs, turns away and talks to somebody else and leaves. He will still feel superior and not waste time.

See for instance https://youtu.be/ye8zcgxWMDc where he only stays as it's a major presse event (the guy buy his side was running for chancellor to succeed Merkel; and yeah the questions were "dumb" but with your questions you won't get a better response)
Part of a part of one of the cases you have there is to do with barrier to entry.
If a community has no barrier to entry, it can be vandalized for free.

The barrier could be the understanding it takes to navigate, a literal price, or knowledge of its existence.

Smaller communities speak in ways and on topics that outsiders don't understand, and so outsiders are deterred. As the community becomes larger, it becomes more general, and so outsiders have an easier time integrating. When a community takes a price, vandalism has a cost, which is often not worth paying. (it could be something as trivial as be in a place at a time, or buy roller blades).

Plus, there's definitely a tipping point beyond which it'll spiral outwards.
Bit IDE in the Browser
Their support is piss-poor for their products. Would love an OP-Z, but quality and durability is unacceptable.
The same sort that are peppered throughout society. Working at eBay just meant they likely had access to more funds than the folks that stalk people and call the new jobs to harass them or get them fired.
Police have been doing this since the days of typewriters. If you're a whistleblower with sensitive information, assume your printing device has a unique identifier. This is how Reality Winner was caught, when she leaked info about Russian interference in US elections.

If you're in a highly secure environment, it's even possible the content itself may be a unique identifier. I could imagine a sensitive document having grammatical alterations unique to each recipient.

Journalists should consider this before publishing unredacted copies of leaked documents.
Ask HN: What kept you at your job through the great resignation?
First time poster. I’ve been seeing a lot of “why I left my job” posts. They read like postmortem justifications/rationalizations.

I too faced extreme pressure through the pandemic but I decided to stay with it for 3 reasons.

1 - Beat Saber. I worked out every morning through the pandemic playing beat saber and became very good in the process. It was a much needed outlet during that time.

2 - my small company has historically done right by me. Despite growing pains from a 15 person company to a 30 person company and being fired from an enormous job that same year in 2021, I knew that there wasn’t a company in my construction consulting field that would have my back better than this one. The pay is a bit lower too, but I’m senior there and I barely have justify my asks. That’s worth a lot.

3 - psychedelic medicine. I journeyed for the first time in December 2021 and I’ve modestly continued to explore that space. It’s given me a tool to reinvent myself. A lot of thinking about my work had become entangled in unhelpful patterns. A lot of problems at work can have simple solutions but it’s even easier to tell stories about how I can’t change it. The archetypal story of salvation from outside your circumstances. The American dream is more or less “fuck this shit - I’m going to America”. My family has been here for generations but that remains a very seductive narrative. The alternative I’m discovering is “I’m going be here even when it gets bad because I belong here”. I’m getting plugged into botany and wild food sources around me which deeply connects me to the land and plants like a community. Psychedelic medicine is probably the most important thing that kept me at my job. However, it’s a double edged sword - you can get the opposite result.
Also Saturn being a basketball is a dead giveaway. dall-e is terrible at localizing stuff to just one part of an image, so it doesn’t know that “space” doesn’t have to be basketball themed as well. It reminds me of when someone tried the prompt “happy sisyphus” and it drew a happy guy carrying a rock with a smiley face on it.

Plus it got the lines on the basketball all wrong
Google got it from industry research labs, the industry research labs got it from the national labs, who got it from the military.
Any precautions against money laundering and fraud?
As far as I understand it, David Sinclair lost all credibility when he was invited to debate scientists in real life and refuse. The rate at which he spins up companies is also a bit alarming. This is as someone who would love for what he is preaching to turn out to be true.
all i can hear is "if only the whole world was as unregulated as the US"-mimimi
Yes, that's why most large deals allow for due diligence before the deal effectively closes
don't fool yourself: when Big Tech talks about "security", they are talking about _THEIR_ "security" against users.
Unfortunately, I bet a lot of this kind of cable is stapled down along the run. And with enough twist and turns I'm not confident the existing wire wouldn't break while being pulled, even without the staples.
This is nonsense. E.g. you can sell a house tax-free no earlier than two years after you’ve bought it, and only if you oived in it — if not, you need to wait 10 years for a tax-free sale.
>How do you know what due diligence was done and what new information might have come up?

Based on the "Funding secured" or "Pedo guy" nonsense revealed in court documents, I have a pretty good idea how much due diligence was done prior to the offer: zero.
Presumably it is to aid in finding the equipment used. Once they find the equipment and can positively identify it, they can use other evidence to establish to probable user of that equipment.

As for malicious actors, wouldn't that be a risk for most forms of evidence? Likewise, wouldn't many of the techniques used to establish the validity of other forms of physical evidence be applicable when these techniques are used?
I agree with you on this and think his savior complex is likely compounded by things like the potential Twitter buyout. There are a lot of people who view Twitter as a extremist echo chamber and want to see it change, so they're treating Musk like Twitter's savior now. Anecdotally, I've seen as much support for Musk's actions accidentally destroying Twitter as 'fixing' it.

When I see how small of a subset of the population actively use Twitter, or have even posted once, compared to the political power it has, it's hard for me to argue we're better with it around.
Looks like loose language to fit some buzzwords in to me, but I'll give them the benefit of doubt.

I'm guessing (hoping) it means either that by consistently using their design system, you'll see consistent results no matter the environment (browser, platform, etc.).

Another interpretation could be that regardless of the aspect ratio viewed, resolution, etc., content will always render in a relatively consistent fashion regardless of if it's a phone or billboard, so everything is vector based with no rasterization or discrete level of details baked into content. And negative space and what not are all sort of relatively baked in to give the same style.

It could also mean that since it's ran client side independent of other clients, you can inherently scale up indefinitely so long as your backend infrastructure can deliver the base content. This of course has been the case in pretty much anything delivered over the internet since its inception though. Of course there was the trend for several years of server side content rendering to enable dynamic content (e.g. the rise of SSI, CGI, PHP, etc.) where scaling was/is more of a consideration but in the current trends of front ends that paradigm seems to be mostly dead and it's just assumed your front-end design will "scale" easily...

It's pretty easy to abuse generalized tech terms that are heavily overloaded and not lie while creating all sorts of implications to the reader should they decide to glance over it.
> I think the future is to give SUPER clear power to individuals to manage their own experience. Freedom of speech is both the right to speak, but also the right of the listener to hear (or not hear) as an individual.

That's the road to filter bubbles and radicalization because people never realize how obnoxious they are to real society. You can always find a few hundred other extreme fringe and deranged people from all over the Internet, while if you tried saying that stuff in real life, your community would slap some sense back into you. Online you can just block and move on and never face consequences, so you develop this righteous attitude that you know it all and you get validated by other loners from all over the world.

I think the only good way forward can be a return to physical spaces. People will realize this more and more and there will be some sort of hybrid approach. Actual real life communities are important.

Sure, niche hobbies may not sustain a large enough community in each little town, but do we really need to specialize so much? Does that really improve our affairs? Couldn't people compromise and get into some slightly different but still adjacent hobby?
I started working on this about 6 months ago and was having success manually curating a list of hybrid startup engineering jobs in the US. But policies were hard to decipher at so many companies (some job descriptions are straightforward, but others are super vague) that I didn't feel my data was reliable enough.

When I was finally able to get past that noise and create a decent-sized list, Omicron hit and remote/office/hybrid policies blew up, yet again.

While it has improved, it's still in flux and I still can't get straight answers from many HR leaders.

I would love to provide this service when things stabilize a bit more.
When people join a community, they don't just adopt the values of the community, but they also come with pre-existing values. As a community grows, it will adapt to the people who are joining it, and this may alienate the early-adopters who joined for a different reason than the people joining during the exponential or diminishing returns phases of logistic growth. This doesn't mean the community is "ruined" but from the perspective of early adopters, they might describe it that way.

This can be seen readily in the history of Islam and Christianity. As those faith communities grew, they became very different from what their early adopters experienced, because they absorbed traditions and social structures of the people joining them.

"Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity."
Similar is https://stackbit.com/. I've used it to make my React website visually editable so my marketers could have a WYSIWYG.
On the other hand, he says outright stupid things all the time and only if he gets into a topic you know a thing or two about, you realize how wrong he often is.

One thing that almost everybody on HN should be able to judge as completely wrong is his claim about "L5 autonomy very close / later this year" [1].

L5 autonomy is the equivalent of the halting problem. L5 is a goal that can't be achieved [2], just like no program can be written that determines if the input program will ever terminate. [3]

So what to make of this, if this apparently smart guy says entry-level stupid things?

Edit: Because so many replies here about why I compare it to the Halting problem: That comparison is invalid as many of you pointed out. My reasoning was not in a strict mathematical sense, but more like this: even experienced humans can't drive in every condition. There are situations where you just need to stop. L5 autonomy will only work if we create AGI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligenc...), so that the system can observe itself and think about itself. An AGI might be possible (in the far future), whereas the Halting problem is mathematically impossible. Thanks for pointing this out.
"legalese bullshit" - you sell a product, you need to handle VAT. Every single business in the EU abides by this, why should a business be exempt just because they're on the internet?
a conspiracy of cowbirds
I can't vouch for everyone supposedly writing smear articles/commenting on Musk but my own problem is that there is a public cost to his antics like "Going private" , "just bought 9% of TWTR" , "won't buy TWTR" etc. There's a reason SEC has rules around these. If Musk had done it once, you could call it eccentric or just plain stupid. If there's a pattern to it, perhaps his intentions aren't really to save the world or even noble. I'd trust someone who is openly greedy than someone who claims to do virtuous things while doing shady things.
