also that report is four years old now. the AR6 data revised the ranges up but didn't re-do all the visuals so I don't have a new jpg to link to. also observed reality has trended warmer/sooner than predicted.
Taken to an extreme, this must also mean you only use code you write yourself, since your coworkers will probably not be able to code up to your standards. You are eternally reinventing the wheel, and missing the opportunity to work on the actual feature/app in a timely way.

If this just means being selective about dependencies, I'm sure most of us here will agree.
Could just do it for the areas that sign up for the system if it worked.
If the law hinges upon how your secret algorithm works then it should not be a secret. I'd rather have my secret sauce cloned by China[0] than live under Maoism[1].

This sounds unfair to you, but sometimes the fair solution creates more injustice than it solves. This is the same reason why we have the EPA Superfund program. Love Canal might not have been the polluter's fault[2] but the "fair" alternative was to let everyone sit in court while they and their kids die from toxic waste.

[0] tbh the biggest problem with Chinese IP theft is that they don't share their plunder

[1] At least I'm assuming "keeping the law secret" is something Mao did, I might just be being an ignorant American

[2] If I remember correctly New York State or the county government actually threatened to use eminent domain to force the polluter to sell the toxic waste dump to them.

It feels like an eternity now. I left KDE sole time after the KDE 4 release. Before that it felt quite polished. It never regained that polished feeling, as long as I followed it after KDE 4 released. But I hear it is good now, so perhaps it finally got it.
For most industries, carbon neutral is just marketing. Also, with international supply chains for many companies, most don't try to offset the carbon from their imports and shipping, only from their own production. Often times their products involve electricity, which is still predominantly emitting.

It's like saying hey look at us being carbon neutral, but we're one step out of 10, the product will run on carbon based power for years, and the steps to be carbon neutral aren't really our steps but we pay someone to offset them.
There's a big assumption underlying this article: that it's even possible to make a language or tool so great that it suffers from success in the way the describes, where there's no need for communities built around the system because it's already perfect. I can't think of a single system that has failed this way. Nothing's perfect, and if the tool is good people will come together around it and form a community.
Literally scroll to the right it's fine
while it's certainly biased by the thinking of the time, that stuff isn't enshrined in the constitution, not to that degree. the wealthy white dude framers knew they weren't perfect, so they allowed for changes by providing an amendment process to patch the rough spots. the constitution is a good start, not the final endpoint.
How would that work anyway? It's not something someone would notice you disabling when you go to the range, unlike full auto/DIAS conversions and short barrels where someone might notice, you literally can't notice unless you have an ultrasonic detector. Are there going to be ATF agents hanging out at ranges trying to see loose wires hanging out of people's guns or guns that don't produce ultrasonic noises when fired? I assume that's not going to happen. Anyway, it's not legal to ban guns without the ultrasonic speakers anyway, because there's no way the military is going to have ones that can't be turned of on their guns. No historical precedent for anything like that either, and ~all of current guns don't have ultrasonic speakers on them, so the Heller "common use" thing is there as well.

You seem to imply that intent is all that matters. But the law and history regarding discrimination in the US is more nuanced.

For example, perhaps literacy tests in order to vote in the Jim Crow south were purely based out of concern that only informed voters should be able to vote. Assuming they were applied evenly to both whites and minorities (they weren't), one could draw the conclusion that even though most of the people prohibited from voting were minorities, the intent wasn't racist.

But that's not how most racism works.
Even if one had a good reason to use fewer libraries in a product, his reasoning that "most libraries are written by junior developers" is a ridiculous and somewhat insulting justification.

If their methodology has weaknesses which allow those arguments, then its kind of a travesty of justice not to allow them.

I think I speak for everyone on this site when I say that the best UI is simply a CLI. Millions of dollars of engineering work is wasted on small widgets and useless animations that don't enhance the user experience, but they detract from it and make it clumsy and annoying to solve your problem.

Sadly many people that vote only care about a small number of issues and just choose a candidate based off those. Gun control and abortion are high on those lists for both sides.

Not sure what the stance being argued is. Should we require companies run morality polls and submit a pre-rollout court to determine the legality of new products that push the limits of human innovation?

Also, it's important to note that humans are actually quite bad at this sort of judgement. I'm sure if you showed everyone in Germany in 1980 a computer, and how it can instantly store and retrieve files and documents, and asked them 'is this moral?' they would be against it on the grounds that it would put hundreds of office workers out of a job.
That's fair. My favorite language so far has been F#, so maybe it's some of that preference sneaking through.
Ask HN: Looking for an open license, but not for AI model training
Hello HN!

I, like probably most of you, put a lot of code up on GitHub. With the advent of copilot, I have been growing a little bit uneasy about the software that I write being used for AI training purposes. I generally like releasing my code under an open license, but I would rather the consumer of my software be humans rather than an algorithm.

Is there a variant of the GPL or the MIT license that prohibits using code as part of a big corporate training set?

With that said, I am planning on moving most of my code over to SourceHut, as I like the overall philosophy a lot.
My guess is that they don't want to reveal their methods because they are still crude and obvious.

It's worded in a way that implies racism. You could write "high crime areas" or "low socioeconomic status neighborhoods" or any of a dozen equally accurate terms. Instead, the author chose something vague (are they being placed in Jewish neighborhoods? Chinese neighborhoods? Indian? Hispanic?) And suggestive.
Tech is kinda weird right now too.

Job hopping slowed during the pandemic, and recession concerns, differences in WFH policies between companies, etc may extend avg tenure >2y.

Also, good options are drying up.

People left Apple, MS, Amazon Google to go to Meta + Netflix + unicorns (and subsequently moved between this second category).

Netflix and Coinbase seem terrible options right now. Shopify too.

Lyft, Uber? Can the runway hold?

Snap, Twitter? Even worst than Meta.

Airbnb? Instacart? Maybe, dunno.

Stripe is probably the last great choice.

Big tech is kinda the only game right now, and leaving Meta for another big co is unlikely to lead to higher comp even with stock variance. Esp. if Google tries to downlevel you as they often do.

I'd be surprised if there's any significant exodus of top Meta talent.

Edit: I think a novel implementation here is that they often use one mic array (several mics mounted around one tower or vehicle) as opposed to a dispersed network at them. If they made that work effectively, I think IMO it's different enough as to be novel and patent worthy. But it also strikes me as the kind of technology that should be defensible on its own merits, and legitimate copycats easy enough to identify, rather than blanket squelching tactics and going after journalists. That's what snake oil salesman do, not companies with actually superior technology. Read the Vice reports. Their effectiveness record isn't great except in their first party sponsored research.
In my experience, when someone says “the rest of the world” they’re usually referring to scandinavia
It’s a lot like saying knives should be required to emit such a sound. A knife is a purely mechanical device, there’s no good way to require an electronic device in a way that won’t be ripped off by every criminal immediately. In the same way, you can’t DRM trigger pulls.

Further, this loud tone would require enough power that you’re talking about replaceable batteries. Those batteries can be removed.
slight nitpick, as timelapse is an actual thing for me. your sped up footage isn't timelapse. tomato/tomahto, old dog says words have meanings, blah blah. On tape, we'd call that varispeed playback. Now it's more of a timewarp (even if you don't do the ramping).

Please, don't cheapen my career shooting actual timelapse! ;P
I really get mad at peoples bias towards adding more “to be safe”. More security policies, more restrictions, more alerts, more process, more everything. The very fact that many audits apparently exist to ensure you have a shit security policy by bloating it with nonsense and crap is ridiculous. It’s all insanity.

A classic example is password reset policies, a rule that makes security worse by burdening its users in ways that predictably and reliably make them use the lazy way to do things. In general you get good security by investing in it and hiring careful people, not by writing a list of 10000 rules and exclaiming “if only you followed rule 7354!” when something happens. Security policies seem to be designed like horoscopes, designed to address any possible variation of a security incident that might happen, rather than truly pointing you towards what’s important.
Another way of phrasing it is: these gunshot detection systems are deployed where the vast majority of gunshots occur.

> I went online to find oodles of hate. I never have understood it.

You update your workstation one day to find the distro put a new UI on it. OK, this is interesting but you need to get on with some work, so you just switch back to the old one. That option's gone. Hmm, OK well let's have a quick play with this new thing... Wait, you can't move anything around to where you're used to? WTF. And there are whole different window-interaction paradigms, odd choices about workspaces over window manipulation. Huh... well at least you can still run the programs you need to. Wait, why isn't the messenger app you need for work appearing in the notification area? What is that in the notification area? A different app that you can't remove, don't need and with no way to replace it? WTF.

OK you really do need to go back to the old version. But the distro repos don't even have it, so you can't even install it. WTF? Is it just gone? You were just using that yesterday!

You go online to investigate and find out there's been this major update, some distros have switched to it already, and it seems like it was a deliberate choice to make it impossible to run the old thing alongside. The old thing is now abandonware, instantly, and if you want to work the way you have been for the last ten years, you're wrong, old fashioned, out of date, stifling open source and generally a problem. Wow OK.

Does that explain it OK?

I'm not saying the vitriol online is all justified, but this is how a lot of us first encountered Gnome 3/Shell. Personally at that point I'd already been using Xfce on a low-powered machine, so I just switched over, and within a couple of minutes I had my desktop back how I like it, and got on with my life. But I'll always remember that at some point the Gnome folks (and the distros share some blame) actively ripped away my way of working, and told me I was a dick for not thanking them for it.
Your link does not support that assertion. It states that MLAT is used for planes without ADS-B and that it only matches the precision of ADS-B.
You still have to have money to pay people. Having volunteers instead of employees means you don't need to pay people. Not having to pay people means you don't need to raise as much money. It's not about paying taxes on the salaries, it's about affording the salaries in the first place.
You could swap E.T. for Cyberpunk 2077 and VCS for PS4 ;)
If I understand the article correctly, it's not about incorrect information -- i.e. it's not claiming Wikipedia misleads judges because the articles are wrong -- but about "influence" of Wikipedia on decisions; an influence that could be gamed by an adversarial actor.

References themselves are gameable. They argue references mentioned in Wikipedia are more likely to be cited by a judge!

This is not about the quality of Wikipedia, but about its undue influence and how easy it is to game it, references included!
Hi everybody,

[name redacted]'s purpose is to change the way we ship goods. To start, we wanted to shift the paradigm by which packages are addressed; specifically, delivering to an individual or entity through their terms — without the need of a physical address. This is done quite simply by the sender using the intended recipient's username instead of an address.

In doing so, this allows users on either end of the spectrum to gain more control over what packages are shipped to them and how packages are shipped. The implementation at the moment is fairly crude, but the way I envision it is an extra layer on top of the preexisting shipping carriers' infrastructure (similar to PayPal or Venmo and banking institutions).

At the moment, we are only servicing the Greater Austin area, but are looking to expand in time. Thank you for reading, and this may go without saying, but we would love any feedback from you all. Please also ask us any questions you may have!
They mistakenly tried to support every frontend under the sun and not even bother shipping a router with their fullstack framework. Crazy in hindsight!

If only they focus on React and included a default vetted router, Meteor would probably still be thriving today. Instead they tried to please everybody and ended up satisfying nobody.

MDG ultimately pivoted to Apollo and _that_ stuck like glue everywhere, so I am happy they ultimately found success.

I still miss Meteor though, it was so stupidly productive early on.

I suppose that, if you're right that a hypothetical return to the gold standard would greatly increase the value of gold, that would greatly diminish the amount of gold you need to safeguard.

There's nothing in the use of commodity money rather than fiat money that prevents fractional-reserve banking, though you seem to be suggesting that there is, since you're doing the computation based on M1 (though I think you may be using the number for M2). The St. Louis Fed estimates the velocity of M1 and M2 at 1.122, which I guess is transactions per year: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V so I think you're probably right that gold would be about 5 or 10 times as expensive without fractional-reserve banking.

So instead of 700 grams of gold your lifetime earnings would be 70 grams.

If 5% instead of 0.5% of the cost of electronics was gold, I don't think you'd be able to tell the difference. Maybe that boosts the economic impact of this return to the gold standard to the same as spelling both "through" as "thru" and "thorough" as "thoro".

Your implied prohibition on fractional-reserve banking would, by contrast, have an enormous economic impact.
I'm not following why you seem to think those things are comparable. Semiconductors go into nearly everything today, from your phone to your car to your refrigerator. An ICBM isn't a consumer product that is the literally lifeblood of the modern economy, like semiconductors are. If you're hostile to "piling mountains of money into the military-industrial complex", as I am but probably for different reasons, then that's great, but it's a separate issue from securing access to a capability to produce a technology that maintains our standard of living.

So, yeah, it really is that cut and dry. A "National Security Issue" doesn't always mean "weapon" or "air craft carrier". This is a rare moment when, even if it's for cynical and self-serving reasons, some money is going to be spent on something that actually matters and will help secure future prosperity. Do get mad about the MIC, though. I still am as well.
OP's comment implied that it is a tool used by the majority(whites) to deploy in minority(black) areas, in order to oppress them.

I provided an example of basically the blackest city in America deploying it within their own city. Why did they deploy a tool of oppression on themselves?

It seems you were very distracted that I pointed out that whites are a minority within Jackson MS, but that was really just an offhand comment and not the point of the post.

Good, serves them right. Apple shamelessly stole their interface from Xerox, so I don't see why we have to put everyone on blast here.

Steve Jobs said it himself: "Good artists copy; great artists steal"

Hell, arguably Apple wouldn't exist as it does today if they hadn't brazenly appropriated companies that worked in fields they were interested in. There's nothing new (or shameful) about stealing UI motifs if they're effective.

Zuck has had Andreesson and Sandberg at his side for 14 years, in the office and on the board. He partnered with MS under Ballmer and brought Reed Hastings to the board.

Sure, and that wasn't the point of my post. My point is that black people who run the government that governs over an almost entirely black population still choose to use shot spotter.

Surely there is some merit there that is not merely keeping minorities down, or maybe all the black people running the government just secretly hate blacks.
No, what I mean is, you, good sir or madam, is intentionally straw manning what I said in order to make it OK, in your mind, to have people depend on black boxes ("nmp packages") because that would make your boss happier.

There was a HN submission about the G forces in roller coasters.

G force is acceleration, so a second derivative.

Early looping roller coasters had big spikes in G force rather than a steady G force. This made them horrible to ride on, so no one did, and was a problem to be solved (later solved by a different loop shape).

Measure how spikey G forces are is the 3rd derivative.
