HN is very emotionally attached to the idea it's above politics.

> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

This is pure hubris and stupidity. This country wouldn't be here without many such battles, which created the venue for curiosity. I'm envious of the women of Iceland waged political and ideological battle, in particular the 1975 strike. This quickly gave quite a lot of the country many things to be curious about, which they weren't curious enough about before.

I do not see HN as above politics, but deeply ignorant and insular. It has a long history of anti-gay, misogyny, and white nationalism for its lack of diversity, and lack of discussion of such things under the auspices of "politics". And I also see quite a lot of cognitive dissonance in the HN community about these topics, and it is that necessary discomfort this rule serves to sooth. I consider the rule a public menace.
I did notice the more expensive the item the more discreet the logo, but it's often still there.

Still, I find it distasteful to pay extra so they don't stick a logo. So I don't.
It leaves it up to the states now because there is no meaningful federal code on the matter. The underpinnings of the decision allow for a federal ban since it's just saying that there's no inherent constitutional protection.
Yes, I think that's true. The Justices should stop imvoking the constitution in long legal ramblings and just say: "Our predecessors thought one way. We're different people and we think another way. Also, if you don't like it you can fuck off."

It would be so much more honest.
Well, poor people are less likely to be able to travel to get abortions where it's legal. So higher infant mortality, higher maternal mortality, and more kids in the foster system, putting a strain on a likely already small (because red state) budget.

But otherwise, I agree, this will just further the red states' economic bankruptcy.
I don't think different types of sentience exist? Either something is sentient or isn't. I know aliens are only fiction (though in the huge galaxy not necessarily fiction, just not reachable), but do you consider non-human civilizations on other planets also a different kind of sentience because they're not human?
There was no US government mandate forcing people to get vaccinated.
Just thinking here, but what if you take the guesswork out of it "Here at Company X our philosophy is to avoid deep class hierarchies. How would you model..."
I don’t think it’s quite as simple as “take people/algorithms at their word”. “Sentience”/“Consciousness” are at least in part social constructs, in that the words we use, both between humans but also in our internal dialogue, are social constructs.

I think it is hard to untangle any potential non-linguistic aspect of these concepts from the language we use to describe and perceive them.

Currently we have the challenge that algorithms can regurgitate the language we use to discuss these concepts, and we don’t have the tools to distinguish that from how humans use those same words.

With current transformer models we can make a cogent case that there is a fundamental difference to human mental states, however I believe this will very soon get a lot more difficult once multi-modal algorithms are used in embodied forms and with continuous re-training and context databases.
Git and secure scuttlebutt use merkle trees and chain blocks cryptographically, so yeah, they technically use a blockchain.

In my opinion main difference between "technically use a blockchain" and the term blockchain as used in the article and in common parlance is a way to automatically determine by distributed consensus which chain is the "real" blockchain. That's what proof-of-work or proof-of-stake do, and git and ssb don't provide a way to do that, so this article is not about them.
Most AI networks aren't deterministic. That's why eg Dalle will generate new images for the same prompt indefinitely. And note that neurons at the neuronal level are pretty deterministic aren't they? Certain chemicals cause certains things to happen. But the complexity of the system (the brain) is not necessarily deterministic. And it might even be deterministic! Given the exact same input to the brain (which would be impossible to test because the brain's state, which is part of the input, changes with time. Not to mention you'd need to control everything in the environment), would the brain react in the exact same way? Maybe. I think you can create nondeterminism from combining many deterministic components.
As much as it pains me to point this out, you cannot draw much of an analog between abortion and gun laws when it comes to states rights, because guns are protected by the Constitution very explicitly, abortion is not.
I once lost my sim card and wanted to lock it, so I called the phone company and they asked me for the first 3 characters of my password to verify myself.
> Jesus Christ never gave to abortion the slightest mention

That is misrepresenting the argument. There's a lot of people that believe that abortion is the killing of a human being. And killing another human being is, most definitely, on the list of "bad things" for every flavor of Christianity. For a lot of them, killing one human being (not in self defense) to save another is still on that list; because only God is allowed to end life.

You may not agree that an unborn child is a human life, but the people that are against abortion for actual Catholic religious reasons do believe it. And do believe it is against their religion, and against any reasonable set of morals.
We are using a mixture of Linear[0] and the software we are building ourselves - Saga[1].

Linear is pretty slick piece of software that feels fast, well designed and more opinionated compared to Jira or other alternatives. It has great support for keyboard shortcuts.

Saga is a documents / notes app and each feature or ticket is a separate page. The tool has automatic hyperlinking, so every time you mention a specific task or a ticket, a link to it will be created on the fly. It also combines tickets/tasks with other notes and documents in one place.

The ML languages started appearing in the 70s. Rust is a very modern language.

Where do you think rust got (more than) half of its type inspiration from?

Either way no one has to use any language. Personally OCaml is not my cup of tea--Haskell is. But it is a great tool and it's solving hard problems.
> When liberal justices are in charge, they unconstitutionally force their will onto the people. When conservative justices are in charge, they just undo the damage of the liberal justices and place the power back in the hands of the people.

I'm sorry, who forced you to have an abortion?
While I am pro-legalised abortion I think this is a separate kind of issue to LGBT rights, racial equality etc. LGBT rights/racial equality is about treating everybody equally. Almost no 'good' people are opposed to those things. There are plenty of good people who literally believe abortion is the murder of a baby. I disagree but I don't agree that it's an unreasonable opinion. Given that, I think companies taking a stance on it would cause a lot more division than when they take a stance on more clear cut social issues.

I’m of the opinion that truly good clothes do not need to sport a logo at all. Unless you can see/feel the quality, why pay a premium just to show people you spent 500% more on your shirt?
Whether right or wrong, they have definitely provided a counterbalance against democracy. The Court has stood for what it believes are the rights of people who are unable to participate in democracy because they have not yet been born. They are, in the eyes of democracy, a minority of zero, though they number almost a million per year. Whether or not you or I agree with them, they have acted as a check on democracy.
Until it actually happens I don't care. Almost anything can happen. There is not enough time in the day to get worked up over everything that can happen.

The Supreme Court never had the authority to even hear the original Roe v. Wade case. It has always been a states rights issue. Glad to see the current Supreme Court returning to the constitution and rule of law.
None of this matters because the majority (probably overwhelming majority) of pro-life people also don't believe settled science like evolution or that the earth is more than 6000 years old. If we can't reach consensus on those things, how is telling someone that believes a zygote has a human soul that its okay because it isn't conscious?

Keep in mind that the protections provided by Roe and PP v. Casey only extended to 24 weeks. If scientists gave an answer to the question anywhere past 24 weeks then I don't see how it would move the debate even the tiniest smidge.

> That's odd I get the exact same vibe from you.

Then you're projecting. I never said urban living was bad or inferior, just that it's not for me and that a lot of the negative characterizations being thrown around about it are incorrect. If you want to live in an apartment block downtown and bike everywhere, more power to you. Just don't put down suburbanites as anti-social people who are "forced" to drive 20 miles to experience "parks" and the "'nice, bustling area' of town" (because I guess there's nothing good in wasteland suburbia).
Nothing preventing you from trying but its a pretty tall order.
>This is trivially falsifiable: blockchains are being used to facilitate illegal transactions.

yes, and so does the other crypto - cryptography. facilitating illegal transactions, illegal speech, illegal opinions, illegal thoughts. list of users includes terrorists, drug dealers, pedophiles, Russians, antivaxers and so on.

it boggles me how do people fail still fail to understand, after watching our collective liberty being eroded for the past 20 years in the name of combating terrorists and protecting children, that the slippery slope is not a fallacy but a law of nature.

the people and entities who want cryptocurrency gone don't give a flying fuck about things they feed the useful idiots as the rationale to do it.
We needed the various amendments because it was entirely legal to forbid voting based on race, gender, age, etc. That implies it's still legal to forbid voting based on other reasons not listed.
It's important to note that the idea that Roe was decided incorrectly, is a myth perpetuated by fedsoc and other reactionaries. And the liberal legal academics did nothing to counter it.
Yes - "on the roadmap". Unlikely in the short term though. We are a small team of 6 at the moment, trying to stay focused. AWS alone has enough quirks to keep us busy. We plan to expand into other cloud providers (GCP and Azure) when we get the AWS use cases right and start working with somewhat larger teams as customers. Currently we are focused on simplifying AWS for early-stage startups.
In many states that has no effect whatsoever because district boundaries have been gerrymandered to ensure that the party that favors banning abortion will not lose control of the legislature.
Wake on LAN means that you can wake the device from sleep mode by sending it a special WoL packet; I'm not quite following how that's related to your problem?
> Regarding abortion, what aspect of the constitution would cover it?

The Roe case hinged on abortion being a right under privacy right. It was a very weak argument and even Ruth Bader Ginsberg (a very left leaning justice who died recently) didnt like that reasoning and thought it was weak: https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2022/05/06/ruth-bader...
> That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said

You literally contradicted the statement that money is important for political change. Maybe you wish you didn't say that, but you did.

> Again, if the government really doesn't want you to rent a hall or host a website, they'll just arrest you.

They could also have gunned down all the protestors, but they weren't willing to do that. Obviously if you believe the government will escalate endlessly then that changes the equation.

Sorry, but I don't think you're cut out for this conversation, and I don't like it when people try to rewrite arguments they made mere minutes earlier. Have a great day.
How is LaMDA different from someone with anterograde amnesia?

I don’t know the specific medical details, but from movies (memento, 50 first dates) a person suffering from it would be unable to remember anything that happens after their “training stage”. Just like LaMDA. Are those people sentient? Because they have a bigger buffer than 2048 tokens?

That's the whole problem though, many Americans can't afford to move or even travel to another state for an abortion.

And there's nothing stopping states from criminalizing traveling out of state for an abortion.
I'm definitely in full dad mode at this point. I've resisted New Balances thus far, but I can see them peeking out over the horizon, a massive iceberg into which I'll inevitably crash.

I hope you enjoy his channel as much as I do!

He really motivates me to be more engaged and creative with the skills I have. I’m good about certain things, like I’ll go out in my shop and build things with wood, but I’ve been very slow to get into CNC and printing work despite my interest. I think the stuff he does made it click. He’s just making little clips, plant pots, and other small utilities, but he’s using them to create new and interesting solutions.

In other words he uses a little to do a lot. It’s really cool. Such a great way to lower that barrier and make 3D printing fun and useful.

Good luck with your projects, too. I added a small greenhouse years ago and it was so worth it, and it’s become a major part of how I plan my garden and think about growing.
Today we don't have that SciFi level of AI. This AIs are just a mathematical function, training is just a mathematical algorithm to force this function into spiting some output if you give it it an input. Simplified, is like when you have 5 points on a plain and you find a polynomial that passes to all those 5 points. This AIs are fixed, they don't grow, they don't want things, you put numbers in and you get numbers out, yes the chat AIs work with numbers, they do not understand language and is possible that if you ask same question but use some synonyms you will get opposite responses.

To get to a Trek level of AI IMO you need a general AI, not a single purpose AI like "chat bot" or "image recognition bot", then you need this AI setup in some body thing where it can observe and navigate the universe, have it also able to learn. The problem I see is with AI where people program in the answers for the questions we would ask such an AI to determine if it is alive, I predict many would fake the AI sentience to get the glory they built it.
How would you even know that I have my funds in self-custody crypto?
I hate that even following supposed liberation we still feel we have the right to police vaginas and reproductive systems.

I also hate that the pro-bodily freedom Americans have spent 50 years ignoring the shaky constitutional ground upon which this fundamental right lies.

The right wing ghouls are ultimately responsible, but I also heap scorn on the Democrats who failed to solidify the right to abortion in law.
Nice suggestion! In the same spirit, Gartic Phone[1] is also a great team bonding game that needs no audio. It plays like a telephone game, but with drawings and (written) guessing. The way the initial message is transformed during all the drawing-guessing rounds is always hilarious.

>You’re just describing a trolly problem.

Except the child's death isn't guaranteed if we fail to implement universal healthcare/free school lunches/insert welfare program here, so it's not really a normal trolley problem. And that's before you get into potential adverse second order effects of such programs.

>Just divert 1/1000th of the money going to the military.

GP mentioned universal healthcare as one of the ways in which to support children after birth, I don't think $800 million is going to be enough to cover it.
To get a comparable user experience you need to depend on a third-party to manage the channels and liquidity.

Otherwise you can't use it on your mobile phone, have problem with finding an available route, having failed payments, having to open new channels and you still have to make regular and expensive Bitcoin transactions when topping up or opening channels.
I'm not joking.

You can see other replies for details lists of functionalities and capabilities often pioneered and supported by Safari long before other browsers (even Firefox).

Some loud voices from the community have very selective memory, and they momentarily forget all the evilness pumped into Chrome regularly. (remember FLoCs? Advertising API? AMP?)

All that hate for Safari can be much more productive if channeled as constructive feedback on browsers' bug trackers and governance discussions, improving the ecosystem as a whole (which is what you want if you care for the web). Such conversations can even lead to the natural evolution of standards and implementations towards more refined engine customizations on each platform.

Today, iOS allows for open browser choice on iOS, so any technical requirements for the implementation are of no meaningful consequence to iOS users. Everyone can get the look, feel, and service integration with their preferred vendor's ecosystem. Consumers and developers also get a consistent experience throughout the entire operating system - a piece of content will appear the same in any context. Simple, efficient, and reliable. All this will be lost the moment someone decides to prop a "To view this website, download browser XYZ." Imagine you are faced with this in a stressful situation when you need your phone to work the most.
> Acceptance of gay marriage is being forced on everyone

Don't act like the victim because you're no longer allowed to victimize others.

Let me try this sentence with some slight adjustments and see where we end up:

- Acceptence of Black people is being forced on everyone

- Acceptence of women working outside of the home is being forced on everyone

- Acceptence of women being allowed to vote is being forced on everyone

IF you think you are a victim for having to accept other people there is no helping you.
> ""A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

There are, IIRC, forced sterilization laws that depended on RvW, so perhaps those are back in fashion too.
Why is there never an expectation that Christian’s engage in dialogue and civility about this issue? There is never a demand they convince the pro choice people just that they be allowed to control and threaten them. Calls for dialogue are just part of the intentional narrative created to undermine peoples rights.

Rights do not necessitate dialogue.
>If AI was found to be sentient, it should be awarded the same kind of protection we offer to biological sentient beings.

On what grounds? We afford protections to animals not because they're sentient, but because they're capable of suffering. Those protections incidentally don't include protection from killing, only from cruel killing. Humans are protected from killing, but not because they're sentient, but because their deaths cause suffering on other humans. So, sentience by itself would not be sufficient to give an AI rights, it should also be demonstrated to be capable of suffering. Unlike with animals, this needs to be demonstrated, because we can know empathically when an animal is in pain, at least for mammals. Empathy can't be said to apply to inorganic algorithmic constructs. To be protected from being destroyed, it should also form bonds with people.
Thanks for the substantive reply, upvoted.

> All/most of the hardware APIs are considered harmful by both Safari and Mozilla.

Well yes. Re https://wicg.github.io/webhid/, there's a risk in allowing apps to talk to hardware. We still let non-web apps do this. We deny by default, and have permissions screens etc where people can allow/reject the access.

Disagreements are a separate issue from Safari's record of shipping broken versions of uncontroversial web standards though. Eg, Mozilla disagrees with hardware support but nobody accuses them of ignoring web standards.
There are people for whom this is about control. There are people for whom this is about preventing murder. The two groups, while they may overlap, are not the same; they just vote the same on this topic.
Like, are you serious? Judicial fiat literally overruled the will of the people and forced concealed carry to be legal.

New York decided over 100 years ago that people shouldn't be allowed to conceal carry without a good reason and now a bunch of activist judges have forced concealed carry on everyone.
> It’s counter intuitive but it’s roughly the same percentages for most things.

Nope, that's covered. In the verse, accidental damage to the human mother was punishable by death.
Aggressively promoting !== barring completely.

Both Firefox and Chrome would have appreciated a way to install their browsers on iOS, even if it was harder.

Google making their sites function inadequately in other browsers should be illegal too. Many features don't work in Firefox.

This is a great first step towards protecting human dignity and sanctity of innocent lives in the US.

Roe vs. Wade is a classical example of judicial activism. The right to privacy clearly doesn't have anything to do with abortion.
