+1, and "Implied legal (and moral) liabilities" is just one of the issues if you're viewing the Trolley Problem as a real-world, real-consequences situation. (Vs. something from the land of make-believe, which is cool / interesting / empowering to sit around & talk about.)

For starters, real-world railroad (RR) switches are more complex than what you would understand from model RR sets, cartoons, old movies, and philosophy books. They are not binary, are often less than well-maintained, and may required upper-body strength that you don't have to successfully throw. The trolley may be going too fast for the track that you divert it onto, resulting in a derailment that kills everybody you were looking at - plus some more inside the trolley. Plus extra bystanders. Your well-intentioned passerby's understanding of which way the switch is actually pointing may be wrong. RR history has some famous (& deadly) accidents where an experienced RR employee misunderstood the situation, and threw a switch the wrong way.

Real-world, I certainly would not be touching the switch.
One reason why I prefer the classics (Agatha Christie, G.K. Chesterton, Arthur Conan Doyle, etc.) is that a lot of modern mystery authors think they need to be both mystery writers and comedians. The voice of the narrator, if not the characters themselves, is often snarky and sarcastic, and I find it incredibly off-putting. So if I could offer an additional commandment, it would be to acknowledge that you might be as clever as you think you are, but you're probably not as funny as you think you are.
I am talking out of my bum here, but I think it’s a good guess.

Normally when you sign up to you a service you are also giving that service provider access to your work. If that is the case here this access would exist outside of the license listed on any given GitHub repo as a separate agreement from the general public.
What you are saying is actual complexity. A box can be a machine instead of container and all your points will still stand but with less complexity.
HN actually holds the current record for being the most humorless forum on the internet (sorry, can't seem to find link atm).
> K8s signals the team values infra and sees it as an important part of delivering their product.

But isn't "infra[structure]" what you run your product on, and not part of the product itself? If your "product" is so big it needs stuff like that built into it, then it feels to me that by defintion that stuff isn't "infra".

All in all, your sentence feels like "The Excel-Dell Humongo-XPS bundle signals that Microsoft values infra and sees it as an important part of delivering their product" to me. No, that only signals that A) Dell and Microsoft are using the dominant marketing position of Excel to milk money from naive customers, and B) If Excel can't run on more modest hardware, it's an unnecessarily bloated and inefficient product; look around for another spreadsheet.

I want it, but I'm not getting it until all the hardware works under Linux.

MacOS is great, but someday they will stop updating MacOS for this. I see it as a device with incredible longevity because of the fanless thermals and how it sips energy. I could see myself using it 10 years later. I want to run MacOS or Fedora Silverblue, with Silverblue being my true love. Immutable OS images <3

HAH, downvoted in seconds. Would not be surprised if there are Apple employees brigading this.
tl;dr don't save sensitive data all together. Encrypt if you must so that even you can't access it if you wanted to
Even they find it hard to keep up this stupid convention. Ppl who work there of course say “the iPhone” but you even see it slip out frequently on stage at the big events. Even Steve Jobs, the originator of this convention and supposed stickler for detail used to say “the iphone” quite a bit.
Worth noting that Nacchio was jailed for insider trading, not anything national security related. He wanted to present evidence that it was retaliatory for not working with the NSA but was not allowed to. His only other defense was he thought the company was doing better than it was even though Qwest own numbers said otherwise.

The prosecution on the other hand documented pretty extensively that he and several Qwest execs were making false claims to the press to increase the Qwest share price so they could buy US West.
Wasn't hotdog. I just skimmed through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_HTML_editors but couldn't find it.

Maybe it was some Microsoft tool. But since back then I mainly used notepad to edit my html it's not really that important :) it's only too bad that none of my websites survived (never hosted anything of importance back then).
Companies do new stuff all the time which has no domain expertise, the experts are already employed in other places, hiring takes months, they might just be doing a spike to see if it's worth investing in.

When GDPR came out, some companies employed experts to deal with it but I expect most companies just gave the job to some unlucky employee.
And it can happen today as well via a website. That’s why some countries mandate two-factor authentication for example, which is a proper solution, not this “let’s sell overpriced tamagotchis” security theater.
Sure but the thinner design might have reduced the thermal envelope, thus increasing the possibility of throttling earlier than the M1 version. For context, my M1 throttles down about %15 at room temperature after about 10 minutes on very heavy load.

I'm curious about the benchmarks and stress tests. Would be very cool if it is actually significantly better than the M1 on everything.
Surviving ponzi scheme and greater fools cycles*
Agree. Apple haven't added support for a second external monitor so the extra features are more performance and more battery. The performance of the M1 is incredible so it is not clear why to update.
The French newspaper "Le Monde diplomatique" made a very interesting family tree for media ownership in France: https://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/cartes/PPA
This is alarming yet accurate. One simply has to look at things like automobile recalls, the 737-max debacle, or the Camp fire, to see actual examples of the above heuristic in action.
iCloud Backup is not end to end encrypted and is readable by Apple. Same again for iCloud Photos. The Apple-readable iCloud Backup contains the keys for your iMessages, which means Apple can read those in realtime as they transit the servers (due to relaying the ciphertext, and having the keys from the non-e2e backup).

Even if you disable iCloud Backup, everyone else you iMessage with will back up all your iMessages from the other end, because it is on by default.

The idea that Apple can't read your data is mostly false. They can see all your photos and read all your chats, and all of the other files and app data from your device. They can do this without your device or password at any time.

They do this for the US government without a search warrant to over 30,000 user accounts per year, per their own transparency report.
As a software engineer, the software is pleasant. I have a Unix OS for development tooling and the standard set of applications (browser, preview, file management, IDE tooling) just work. It seems far more likely that something works first time than my desktop that runs either Windows or Linux (Windows example: clock somehow ends up 1 hour out of sync every week or two, computer sometimes locks up leaving me no control over mouse, screen flickers whenever my VR headset comes out of sleep moode. Linux example: I now have to enter my password 3 times in order to fully get into the operating system). Mostly I'm disappointed with the hardware - my late-2018 model is extremely slow for what it is.
Looks decent. This paper will upset the Intelligent Design folks, if I understand the more mathematical wing of that ideology correctly. The findings look to undermine the "no free lunch" argument against natural selection.
Any third choices ? Maybe pulling the lever hallfway derail ? If it is fast, that means more deaths, otherwise, you may have some injuries but everyone survives ?
> And this is billed as "world's largest democracy". Wtf is the bullshit we are made to believe? Why don't we just stop pretending and relabel most "democratic" countries as just "pro-Westnern"?

India is not pro-Western, and none of those things upthread are inconsistent with democracy. They are illiberal, perhaps, but not all democracy is liberal democracy.
India is pretty decidedly not pro Western and hasn’t been since independence.

Docker hasn't solved any problem for me, so I don't see any use in using it. Meanwhile I have multiple junior devs asking me docker stuff so they can run stuff localy. When I ask them why even use docker, they always say that some tutorial told them to.

This is when I introduce them to something called VirtualBox and then their eyes go bright with wonder on how simple that works.
I think historical data isn’t necessarily applied to forecasting the weather. For example, my first thought with this data is to comb through and build a model where when X conditions exist, then Y airport delays are likely. The FAA doesn’t give the data for their end of the model though.

He actually started out as a real inventor, but he ended up as someone like Steve Jobs -- the public face of a large corporation with thousands of people under him doing the real work.
Wow, that was a lot of really tough decisions. Now I'm wiped for the rest of the day. Gonna have to take a nap.

Good job on the site.
We might as well go back to the social contract then. My comment written to open up some historical debate about when the downfall of America started, but to point out that big tech is a fundamental contributor to the destruction of the fabric of America. I never claimed there were no other contributors or that it started with the advent of big tech.
Easter egg in Stripe's Terminal landing page
The European Review of Books
Apple has demonstrated that ARM processors can be viable on the laptop. The ARM processors on their iPhones and iPads were way faster than other ARM processors before they transitioned their macs. Furthermore, only Apple seems to have the hardware and software tech to allow x86 code to run nearly as fast as native code on an ARM CPU.
Dective fiction is usually about the process of justice when someone breaks a commandment, frequently the sixth, often involving seven, eight and nine. I'm looking forward to the meta-detective novel in which a critic investigates violations of the Ten Commandments of Detective Fiction.

The appropriate punishment might be more suitable to a fantasy novel: To sentence the writer live for a time as a character in a world built by an even more arbitrary, capricious and inscrutable author than Jehovah.

I'd read that.

I did notice that. I'd pull the lever if I was the one on the tracks, since in that case I am not robbing someone else of their life through my decision - my life is my own to sacrifice. At that point it's best to save five.

Then again, a sizeable minority wouldn't sacrifice their life savings for lives either, which means this portion of the respondents does not think the lives of strangers have value at all, or at least that they are not in any case responsible for lives other than their own. Which is interesting!
We need to first get past:
1) differing rail gauges
2) inability to buy international tickets from many (most?) national rail providers

Here in Portugal, the formerly national rail line "Comboio Portugal" was privatized and sold off to 1 (one) company.
This was the stupidest possible thing we could have done.
They promptly shutdown many interior (lower profit) lines and left many areas as transport-deserts, shifting even MORE traffic to our limited roads infrastructure (the entire eastern side of Coimbra just shut down afterwards as a result. It's still low-value real-estate for precisely the lack of transport. The famous Lousã line etc.)
Nevermind that this monopolistic idiocy was repeated across telecom and other industries, focusing purely on railways, we have basically coastal coverage with some select lines through the interior (The once-a-day Alfa Pendular Lisboa-> Madrid line, for example)

Our railway decadence roughly mirrors the US rail decline, as cars clearly dominate the Iberian peninsula...
The impact of the refrigeration sector on climate change
It's curious/ironic that instead or teaching us moral philosophy about ourselves, boundary testing trolley problems becomes a useful study for the purpose of social engineering.

The problem with any kind of invisible hand is that once we talk about it, it becomes visible and loses its autonomy.
Corrupt is an appropriate word for this kind of behavior. The government does not officially condone the behavior, and it would probably function well if the policies were followed as written. But instead people get some power and abuse it. India is not unique, many countries struggle with corruption.
You mean the lowest-specced M2 model for each? The ones that are $1199 for Air and $1299 for 13" MBP?

I noticed the tech specs for the lower-end air have a slightly lower M2 -- 8 GPU cores vs 10... and in the Air price tool, it's a $100 upgrade to go from 8-core GPU to 10-core.

So I guess that's it -- the low-end Air is a little lower-end and a little cheaper.
Advertisers are Google's real cu$tomer and they don't like to see their ads next to your experimental goatse art.
This is very sad to see, and makes me really worry about the people who got their names handed to the police.

The current jingoistic BJP regime is doing all sorts of authoratarian things in India, like demolishing housing for merely taking part in protests [0].

They have also used facial recognition techniques to identify mere protesters and punish them severely [1].

They put a doctor in jail for saving lives of kids by paying for oxygen out of his own pocket, because he publicized those already dead [2].

I am seriously worried about what will happen to the people whose names were in the donors' list.

Will they be arrested, be put on some sort of shitlist and their lives will be made full of problems because they dared to fund a company that merely fact-check the lies spread by the IT cell of the ruling party?

Note that, the tweet is a mere screenshot of a movie from 1983. The director or the producer of the movie aren’t touched. But sharing the screenshot unedited put him in jail [3]. It is also a major factor that he has an Arabic name.

Very excited about the new Air. The size (& weight!) to performance and battery life is unmatched as far as I can tell. It's literally the laptop I dreamed they would make after I stopped daily-driving my 2012 retina pro in favour of a desktop a few years ago. It's going to be great for traveling.
A lack of rule of law? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_law
> There are fewer written records in the traditional sense

But still more written than you could ever hope to read in your lifetime.
They kept it around because:

1. They don't have something to slot between the Air and the 14" Pro. The much rumored 15" Macbook Air isn't ready yet.

2. With how wacky supply chains are, it makes sense to rely on a supply chain that has been working since 2016, the year the 13" MBP came out.

3. Apple needed a device with active cooling to show off the power of the M2.
Anyone know anything about SSD performance on the Air?
> Deciding not to pull the lever is a decision that you've made.

Agreed. This isn’t a choice between making a decision or not making one. It’s a choice between two difficult decisions.
I wonder if the data correlates to recessions and/or inflation.
To pick an extreme but well-known thought experiment. You are walking past a pond, and see a child drowning in it. You glance around and there is nobody else nearby. You could easily jump in and save the child. It will certainly die if you do not.

If you choose to do nothing and ignore the drowning child, are you really not morally responsible in any way for the child's death?
But that's just about software keyboard layout, isn't it? I've been using US layout since forever (configured in OS), even though my keyboards have Croatian scribbles on some keys.

I do see now that the actual physical layout might be different, having large vs. small enter key and possibly additional key next to the left shift.
Correction: English-language Google is. — I find that very often the vaunted Anglo-Saxon moralism indeed only polices English content.

I can find the most interesting and entertaining subjects searching in Japanese that do not show up when the same search is replicated in English, where it instead gives me something only barely related to my search that was simply popular enough.

It's quite simple how Twitter is actually a bastion of free expression, so long it not be in English.
I hosted my first website with CSoft back in the last 90s after getting kicked off the student server at Uni for hogging too many resources. Had a C executable dropped in cgi-bin doing all the heavy lifting.

Major deja-vu 20 years later throwing a Golang executable up on a server; really felt like I was back where I started.
I don't think you can just say the customers know that everything is artificial and completely staged. Sometimes there are genuine parasocial relationships going on, especially with particularly vulnerable and lonely people who would pay for this. And what they're paying for is an interaction with that particular person, not someone pretending to be that person. Would you assert that the same service is being provided if it was a chatbot?
The fact that the person hesitating is the Premier of the government that introduced and passed the legislation doesn't send a good message.
>>Americans built up a huge amount of savings during the pandemic, thanks to several federal rescue packages.

Perhaps Americans built up a huge amount of savings because the weren't allowed to leave their house to spend money on things they normally do.

> Intel's Xe embedded SKUs are supported:

> https://openmdev.io/index.php/GPU_Support

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, but your matrix links to an archive of Intel's community forum, where it's a basic question, about Windows.

https://archive.ph/0McAE#selection-4883.0-4943.35

Then a link to Intel's LTS Linux repo. Do your scripts, if it's Xe, actually clone/build this and boot into it? What does "supported" mean in this sense? Do you replace the user's kernel with the intel-lts fork? If so, do you tell them?

> We did some things to enable GPU virtualization on older driver revisions for most Nvidia consumer GPUs and some AMD GPUs as well. Here's that post if you'd like to take a look:

You have some patches to drivers. Which is great. But "we did some things" on HN is best followed with "here's what we did from a technical level" or "here's the source", not "here's how to install our product".

Is there anything at all here which isn't applicable to other KVM-based virt platforms? It looks like not.

> We're building a free/libre (AGPLv3 & GPLv2) virtualization stack intended to support i915 (Intel) and Nvidia (OpenRM).

Again, this is great. But please be clear that "we're building a free/libre virtualization stack" is "we are building a very opinionated wrapper around qemu+KVM which is not using libvirt bindings for some reason". The "stack" definitely looks like "some utility scripts to make this easier".

Is there a project homepage with a roadmap, goals, and issues/bugs, and so on?
Native advertisement disguised as a blog post.
I understand your point but it is time for the system to change. Most writers in traditional publishing get 50 cents or a dollar for every sold book. My wife wrote a chapter in a science book that is being sold for over $100 and she received...nothing!

Everybody deserves to be paid for their work and I would argue that this is more about preserving knowledge than it is about not having the writers get what they deserve.

“It makes me wonder exactly how much of a resource is behind creating Ubuntu distributions.”

Just to add some context, arbitrary code execution in Super Mario World is nothing new, it has been known since 2014. There was a tool assisted demonstration at Awesome Games Done Quick 2014 [1] where they inject a pong and a snake game using a TASBot (a robot controller that replays input scripts to the console). And in 2016 a streamer performed it manually to inject a flappy birds game [2] (this second video is really good, he goes into detail of the process).

So, what this newer demonstration brings is the use of the known arbitrary code execution capabilities of "Super Mario World" to help finish all 5 games in "Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World" as quick as possible.

Anecdata: Hetzner does not care what files are on their servers as long as you don't also serve them publicly from their servers. So if they only use it as a network storage for another server, it should be fine.
This is actually very interesting, so a company is offering a "teach your own AI" thing so that you can build a "relationship" with it?

That's some blade runner/cyberpunk/black mirror stuff if I have ever seen some.
Interestingly solutions like docker csn also make the system less complex. With CoreOS you get an operating system reduced to the bare bones just for running containers, there‘s a lot less complexity if your os is only designed to run containers and nothing else.
The Arabs in the article might ask it is the safest for who? If they don't have food (with 1/3 of people running out of money to buy food), then as the article says, the future may be uncertain and they might change to the Chinese one-party rule and focus on economic development instead.
