I recall that scifi from the pre-2000s, had loads of scenarios with a "house computer". All personal stuff was stored there, even if it was net connnected and collated/performed searches for you.

Maybe this will be the blowback reality. An applicance in every home, stored in a black box (fireproof, etc), which stores all your stuff.

Computing at this level, email, notes, personal records, has the capacity to stabilize and change freeze. Which is good, if you want personal records to last 100 years.

And looking at email, mbox formats have been static for decades. Static image formats too.

So there was a borderline-neonazi comment i wanted to reply to, but it got flagged in the meantime. It argued that there was an international jewish-communist conspiracy in pre-WWII Germany, and that WWII served to establish the UN as a means to demolish national sovereignty, and that Israel is an ethnonationalist State. In case this person is still around reading, or someone else believes such things, here was my answer i couldn't post under the now-deleted comment:

Wow, i was not expecting to find a neonazi comment here on HN. To be clear, i agree with your criticism of Israel as ethnonationalist and despite immense propaganda efforts it's becoming harder and harder for Israel proponents to pretend otherwise. (And for the record, a lot of Israelis also make that point and struggle every day against their whole racist/colonial machine)

However, the threat of "jewish communism" (judeo-bolshevism as they called it back then) is a spectre invented by nazis and fueled by more ancient conspiracy theories such as the protocol of the elders of zion (spread by Russian political police in early 20th century). Just like today, at least here in France, the neo-nazis and other fascists and warning of the threat of "islamo-leftism", and inventing debilitating theories about "reverse racism" and "reverse colonization" and "white genocide".

As for "world government" and the destruction of national sovereignty, two things:

1. International agreements such as the UN have on the contrary formalized the concept of national sovereignty and non-intervention

2. Of course those principles are never respected and the big empires will do whatever is in their interests: this was already the case long before the UN with the League of Nations, and even long before that, such as when the Berlin conference (19th century) formally divided Africa into territories to be ruled by the colonial empires. The reason there are straight borders on African maps is because some european aristocrats who knew nothing about these territories sat around a table with a ruler and traced lines.

To be clear, your thoughts are not illegal, but they are very wrong. I encourage you to get a better understanding of history from different sources, and maybe realize that Israel is not much more than any other colonial empire of today. In fact, many of their repression/counter-insurgency techniques are straight out of French doctrine established during the Algerian war of independence. So why are some people desperately focusing on Israel as the driving force of evil around the world? From some arab/muslim community, i understand they can relate to the victims of Israeli colonialism... but from white westerners (no idea if that's your case), it certainly plays into the old antisemite trope of an imaginary international jewish alliance trying to control the planet.

> well, they absolutely know what they are doing

My grandfather had neighbours whom he routinely looked down upon because of their alcohol problem.

Very late in the life of one of their children I talked with him and found out he was a really smart guy, knew a lot of IT stuff, 3D design an all, but he simply lucked out in late 90's Romania, used a lot of alcohol and could not pull himself out of it. He died because he was drunk and after loading a wagon of wood for my grandma he struck his head on the pavement. My father insisted he went to the hospital because he has not feeling well but the guy refused. He died a couple of days later because of brain hemorrhage, in his early 50s.

Another guy in the village, a really helpful fellow, you would never believe it by his appearance or demeanor, but he was a retired secret-service officer and used to brief the president.

A female child development therapist that made a bad impression on myself(she seemed fixated on puzzle solving) was later recommended by others as an expert in her field.

So yes, everybody can have a bad day and its really easy to misjudge someone by their appearance.
I have never seen a homeless person with even a flip phone.

A friend, or actually a homeless acquaintance, of mine was charged with theft of public utilities because he was caught charging his ancient laptop into a city receptical that was put near the street to electrify Christmas lights.

He was one of the original Programmers of Word Star.

He got zero credit on his contributions though.

He ended up homeless even though he was a decent Programmer.

It always bothered me the way San Rafael Cops would harass him seemingly daily.

It can all go to shit very fast.

Indeed, any debate over who of the two is more powerful doesn't make sense. And the debate about who of the two (or 5 if we want to draw all of FAANG into it) is pointless, as they are powerful in different ways over different domains. And, second, I don't think the article claims that Facebook's power is ok, it just affirms Facebook's claim that Apple is too powerful.
Log out of iCloud and see what does or does not work. Find alternative services for what broke, such as iMessage, and keep going without strong apple control. As others have said, use web pages rather than apps. Or get an android phone. Or a flip phone if you don’t like google either.

Nobody in the smartphone ecosystem is on your side. They see all your packets, they monitor your web usage, they track your movements, …. Some sell hardware and they all “provide services” that exist to scrape data and sell ads.
They know what they are doing in their immediate context, they follow the rules of their bureacuracies but have no idea nor possible idea of the consequences of their policies. And their being "well-meaning" has a very narrow scope limited to their immediate social and economic class.
It's likely possible to force that mapping via some configuration tools. On Mac and Windows, such tools are usually rather visible, but on Linux it's probably just config files for some components of X or the input layer.
> It's still a good option for various native GUI software and the occasional bit of number crunching/utilities, especially when used with Lazarus

Yeah, that was definitely quite the bright spot. At the time GUIs weren't really what I was interested in, so ultimately I moved on. But for a long while since I'd fire up Lazarus again whenever I started thinking about native GUIs.

Never did much with it though, as I was never inclined to do everything in Pascal and it didn't seem worth the trouble to make it work with whatever I was wanting to use for the rest of it.
Show HN: Productivity focused app for multitasking ninjas – Note taking in tabs
If you got any feedback, we would very very much love to hear it!

- Do you like it? If yes, what do you like?

- What would you pay for in the app? (even if it's missing)

- Would you recommend this to your friends?

Short product pitch: We call it a "productivity-focused app for multitasking ninjas." It's for notes, to-do lists, meeting agendas. With no visual smog. Smarkup helps you quickly write down new ideas while letting you stay where you are. Without breaking your focus .

Power feature: Tabs

Technical: It's a custom text editor with a custom CRDT collaboration engine, all from scratch. We have a Phoenix Elixir back-end system with a Postgres database.
That's not quite true. There is a difference between e.g. making a really nice design "as good as possible" but producing something that is not best-practice, doesn't solve the problem well, isn't a standard look for whatever it is that you are designing.

There are many people who at least think they are working hard and well but the piece that is missing is the context that the work needs to fit into and the ability to evaluate it. There are a gazillion different ways to do marketing (and to do it "well") but most of those will either have little or no effect in a certain context so the true person who knows what they are doing knows the landscape, knows the costs, knows the trade-offs and knows how to measure success.

Nice. We have a vitamix blender which is another great approach to making healthy ice cream. Put in some frozen fruit, optionally add a splash of cream or coconut milk, turn it up to max and smash that fruit into the blades with the plunger and you get the creamiest sorbet / sherbet I've ever tasted.
Yes, it’s a gross violation of privacy. People watch porn on their TV, including home-made porn they made themselves. This is being captured and sent back to Samsung.

The bigger danger is that you could be watching something on a streaming system that could land you in jail in an authoritarian country. No amount of HTTPS encryption or VPNs will save you if the decoded image is sent raw back to Samsung — where it is not safe and secure!
You have to choose among Google or Apple though

You do?

If you just want a phone with SMS, a web browser and email, an android device can easily be nonGoogle.

And Samsung, for example, has its own app store, as do others.

We aren't quite locked into two options. Not yet.
But what is the point using another tag manager? All this advantages are true, but you can have them with google tag manager

I guess they know quite well when they are guilty. And if a Google size company with unlimited legal power think they wouldn't win, it's a strong indication that they know that the case is so strong they have no chance of winning.

Simply untrue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctica

Careful moving those goal posts, you'll hurt your back. Not a goal anybody set. But here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangeland

Animal farming improved human use of land, and indeed crop farming depends a lot on animal byproducts. Or do you prefer unsustainable mineral fertilizers?

> Your language isn’t broken, it’s doing floating point math.

Hard disagree right from the start - if your language is doing floating point math by default (as in, if numeric literals and basic operators use floating point in the absence of explicit type annotations or tags), your language is broken. Maybe if it's hyper-targeted towards graphics or ML or some other field where floating point errors don't matter and performance is king, then I'd call it fine, but users of such languages probably aren't reading this page.

Now, I get what the author is saying - there isn't a bug in your interpreter, it's how it's designed. But that means it's broken by design.
Installing a bank app seems like the ultimate horror story to me. The unholy tracking must be insane.

I don't know who said it but "Failing to plan is planning to fail, however, no war was ever won by planning alone".

In other words, most of business (as well as life) is both strategic and tactical. My strategic plans are needed because things take time and investment and we need a direction to give assurances. However, things change every day and the tactical side is working out how to deal with those.

I certainly think adults are better at projecting confidence but I also think as you grow older, you are more likely to be realistic about how messy things are.
just don't take this as "one sentence per paragraph" unless you want to sound like a used-car salesman.
The point is Apple's rules are not really rules (as evidenced by Twitter existing on iOS) and are really just excuses for selectively bullying out companies they don't like. There is absolutely no reason that Apple should have the power to do that. Sure they could have "provided a web app" that gave a really really shitty experience to everyone compared to an actual app, but that's not an actual alternative and still loses out on a ton of users. Apple has the power to control what software you can download and run on YOUR device, and these are the consequences.
Interesting stuff! Here are my notes:

- decl.qualified-return-type is comparing two very different syntaxes: a common C __typeof__ extension versus C++ decltype. This is hardly an example of code that compiles differently since it's compiling different code. In any case, there is a C23 proposal for typeof() which notes that it intentionally does not behave as C++ decltype(). It proposes an alternate syntax which might be called something like remove_quals() or typeof_unqual(). It will behave closer to C++ decltype() but still not the same because it will remove _Atomic and restrict which do not exist in C++.

- In stmt.decl-after-label, C23 will additionally allow a label at the end of a block. C++ does not. So they will still not match after C23 :). You need to put a null statement (a semicolon) after a label at the end of a block to make it portable.

- type.char8_t-literal will fixed by C23. char8_t will be a typedef to unsigned char and u8"" string literals will have type unsigned char[].

- In decl.empty-initializer, the C++ syntax will be supported in C23.

- expr.inc-dec-bool says ++ and -- do not invert the _Bool value. Is this implying that they do nothing? Because if so it does not match my tests. They behave as though +1 or -1 were applied to the value as an int, but then it is cast back to _Bool, so -- on 1 produces 0 and all other cases produce 1 (including -- on 0.) https://godbolt.org/z/f4Gvbqhbd

Who keeps adding question marks to titles on HN? I understand it's to soften strong statements, but it's clearly the EFF's opinion that they are right, why put words in their mouth?

At the very least make it "Are they right?" so it's a correct sentence.
Yes, I know, but Solana will suffer when the large position is liquiditated (Or an attemp at liquidation)
Afaik, in times of ancient Rome men who gave orders to fight were standing in front of the people they gave orders to, not in some remote office or bunker.

As for wall Street and conscription - they would find a way to get their sons out of this trouble I am sure.
I agree with this synopsis. This isn't a cryptocurrency problem or even a Solana problem, this is an issue with governance types (of which there are many)
You're right, my explanation was invalid.
I doubt this is the issue although there might be cultural differences. In my country women never picked up CS in significant numbers.

Also I don't understand how someone is blamed if they have no interest and you turn around and blame it on men that allegedly discriminate. It is very unlikely that discrimination is the issue if there wasn't to many female computer scientists in the first place. On the contrary, scare stories about "tech bros" probably scare away more people overall. Women and men for that matter.

The book is about Silicon Valley that draws in all kinds of crowds but the usual developer is mostly introverted and polite. It is not all stereotypes but there is a difference between most programmers and most salesmen.

I reject the analysis that there are systemic issues, there is no evidence at all. This has become a religion of some sort.
People who are female, smart, unhindered by their society and sufficiency wealthy to have agency can choose what they want to do. Why choose software development when medicine, finance and science are open? Yeah, some are introverted and are into programming but even for those, there’s way easier money owning the developers than being one. Far too many “fail” the last two criteria.
Yeah it's almost sacrilege to discuss any upsides of colonization. It's also possible that as well as the UK propagandists dropping the ball, UK adversaries are doing really well on keeping colonialism a current subject in media / academia
> The vast majority of the people who have too much to do are young.

One can always extend a helping hand into making society more safe, fun and better. Or at least die trying to do that. It doesn't matter how old I get, simply knowing that I can help certain people directly or do my best to advance some state of knowledge by the tiniest bit, in science or in a human being itself means to me that there's always something to do that I'd consider to be meaningful and/or even enjoyable.
"don't think you need to know everything about something to start doing it" is probably a more accurate title, but less snappy. Also it doesn't hurt for the title to be a bit polarizing. ;0)
These are all good questions and probably allow our realised thought experiment to gain more insight into what aspects are necessary for consciousness and what are just biological baggage.
Nobody mentioned Schema Therapy, so I will.
Schema Therapy is such a beautiful thing and Jeffrey Young seems such a great human being and therapist (unlike the narcissistic freudian type of self important psychotherapist).

I only did a short period of Schema Therapy, but the cognitive part of it was the most helpful thing in my overcoming of my BPD, I can only imagine how great the non-cognitive parts must be.
I would say, if you take single tickets (even with the half-fare card), the tickets are quite more expensive than the trip with a normal car (counting costs of car, of gas, insurrance, ...).

However, if you have a monthly fare because you go somewhere regularly, it is still expensive, but much more managable.

The monthly General Abo (unlimited travel for all public transports in Switzerland) is ~340$/month. A parking spot in a city could already be from 80$ to 200$ a month.
What I've found all the mouse-based tools I've ever used exceptionally bad at were sequence diagrams, and I think PlantUML has won me over for those entirely. For block diagrams, still a mouse I prefer, like draw.Io.
> My point was that we can't find out anything about the phsycial world by just discussing it. We each have to experience it ourselves using our own senses.

You cite the primacy of sensation, but what more is sensation than a message from the sensory organ to the brain. Perhaps encoded in the brains internal language rather than the plain text we are used to, but messages none the less. The concept of existence-as-messages is thus not contradicted by the experience of messages from your own body.

Irrespective of any underlying physical reality, I can't escape the fact that I can never test reality itself, only my perception of it. We can get a lot of mileage out of the physicalist approach, accepting as an axiom that what we perceive as reality is real. But in that ground up approach we've had terrible difficulty deriving our ourselves from physical first principles. I'm not saying its impossible or wrong to take the path from atoms on upwards to consciousness and perception. But no one has been able to make it to the end of that path. What happens if we go the other way instead, starting from the known conclusion "I'm here and conscious enough to converse" and working our way down to the perception/understanding of an inanimate reality governed by objective physical principles? Can a system only designed to represent/reason about people talking to and about people be hacked into a system for representing and reasoning in general?

If we start from purely language models like GPT3 and continue to teach it the "social reasoning" of saying things we want to hear, will the language model eventually become capable of non-social reasoning as well? In the process of figuring out what we want to hear well enough to describe a non-contradictory scene to us, does GPT3 have to actually learn the rules of 3d euclidean space governing the scene? Is there any possible way to avoid scene contradictions without a full understanding of the underlying physical reality it is supposed to describe to us? If a camera feeds data to a language model, does the language model suddenly have eyes? What about pictures from the internet?
The only way to fight that is to, as a community, refuse to run _all_ wasm that is found to serve ads, or infringe on privacy, or exhibit other malware traits.

The only way to do that would be to use browser extensions that disable and report, to disable for other users automatically. But how would we identify the executables? hash? That can be changed trivially.

I really fear that wasm brings us 180 degrees from "don't execute anything from the internet" to "all WWW usage is running other peoples' executables".
Kotlin's "const" corresponds directly to Java's "const", so my guess is that they don't want to burn bridges with Java where there's no substantial benefit.
PS: Why the 0 points? :) They even made fun of Vista's popups at that time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuqZ8AqmLPY

Apple at that time really didn't care as much about security as they do now, it was before the fappening, before wannacry etc. They were more obscure as an OS so there was not as much malware. Security was not as much on the radar as it is now.
