I don't think humans are particularly special, and I don't believe in human rights. At least in the sense that there is some fundamental guarantee to liberty, property, or whatever.

Nature is cruel, and if given half a chance, will for example snatch the life from a 2-month-old baby. That baby did nothing wrong, but did not have the "human right" to life and liberty, just a hope for it.

We can still institute rules we agree to abide by, in hopes that our lives will be better overall. But that's just self-interested agreement, not some immutable "right" inherently bestowed upon us.

Not quite sure what your definition of a “sane language” is. Pretty much all guis in the industry involve one of those three to some extent.

Maybe look into Skia, it’s Googles abstraction layer for multiple graphics libraries on multiple platforms.

But if you are just learning, I wouldn’t concern yourself with any of those sort of environment conditions, just figure out how to make something that works on your preferred OS.

For example, if you use Windows, learn 2d rendering with direct x. Learn about event handlers for controller interaction. And of course read about MVC.

Because they're the thing in your life that you have the least control over. Businesses and governments can lower all kinds of costs by using your phone to manage you. If kings had the ability to distribute smartphones when feudalism was in full swing, feudalism never would have ended.

They watch you while you watch them, and there's nothing you can do about it. What I really wonder is whether we're 10 years away from police being dispatched if your phone is turned off (which, of course, would have started as opt-in, and ended as getting a ticket for letting your battery die), if we're 50 years away, or if there will be some sort of Butlerian Jihad before it happens.

edit: we can pretend this is just about authentication, but the reason smartphones work for authentication is because you have no control over them. If you root your phone, it becomes useless for authentication.
Then it would be malicious?

Here in Germany we were used to pretty much "English" weather, especially in the middle regions where I grew up. A drought is something which happened once or twice in my youth. There was a bad one in 2003 and since 2015 we had a lot of too dry years, the ground never recovering from them, especially the years 2018 and 2019. As a consequence, many forests were damaged and fell to some bugs, so a lot of regions are deforested already.

This year I was in shock when in the quarter I am living in, about half of the trees already lost their leaves, looking like late October.

I'm not sure why I'm getting multiple replies explaining the purpose of a grand jury when I just said I served on one for three months. I understand the purpose and process more than most here.

Indictment alone is serious business. It is enough to ruin someone's life, and is not to be taken lightly. So when a grand jury is only given police testimony as evidence, that indicates a shortcoming in the system.
It's never too late to stop making things worse. And much worse awaits us if we don't change.
I also like this priority in Rust, which constantly makes me wonder why the developers allowed shadowing. It has already caused runtime bugs for me while the compiler didn't even throw a warning about it, and as Rust is otherwise so strict about making possible mistakes like this explicit it's definitely not the first cause I consider when debugging.

But even human-generated work has all sort of domain-specific “fair use” rules to comply with, including plagiarism (academia), open source licensing (code), attribution for generative works (CC) and so on. People who make too closely generative works are scrutinized and face social and business pressures (art, law).

Today’s ML output throws everything into a mixer and then blanket-calls it ML-generated output, because the original training content has been separated from the social and legal frameworks that govern it.

The difference here is that a cryptocurrency mixer serves exactly one purpose: to be used to provide a financial service. You're not going to be able to plausibly argue that you didn't know what it was going to be financial service, and you're probably not going to be able to plausibly argue that you didn't know it was going to violate applicable financial regulations.

When you're working on other privacy/security technologies, they have substantial enough other uses that you are plausibly able to argue that you were ignorant of its use in illegal steps.

DigitalOcean Outage: After 15 hours, email notifications still not working
The commenters saying be reasonable, they were sanctioned, GitHub had to do this, should look into the last time code was made illegal or similar turmoil and what the developer community did in response…It was not accepting sanctions or govt failures to understand code as “well that’s that.”

- Phil Zimmerman (PGP) was under criminal investigation for arms exports by releasing the code for consumer encryption. The case escalated and was eventually dropped, included POTUS attention.

- Aaron Swartz passed away via suicide in 2013 under threat of 35 years in prison and a lot else for downloading from JSTOR programmatically

- Clifford Stole spent several years being ignored by every govt agency under the Sun, except for CIA, for finding, attributing and then exposing a widespread KGB hack of govt systems in the 80s

- L0pht testified in front of congress to expose significant internet security risks that were otherwise ignored.

I’m not saying Tornado Cash and related devs were doing a purely moral action. But the automatic siding with the heavy hand of govt sanctions on code the govt doesn’t really understand is pretty shameful for a nuanced technical audience.
yes. I think most of us who programmed in the trenches are familiar with forgetting what we've done...

Can you let me know more about that?

> If you subscribe to the view that I do: that "secretly unite to eliminate humanity" is a fairly non-obvious and risky goal

I don't think AI would have the goal "secretly unite to eliminate humanity", but I do think that most of the goals we can imagine it having can play out in very bad ways that achieve that outcome as a side-effect. There is an incentive for it always be looking for ways to maximise its power (compute, resources, money, influence), and this could happen in ways we really don't want.

> Popularising the idea that it's the self aware general intelligence that's the dangerous bit about AI, not the intermediate step involving humans having access to immense calculating power whose recommendations they don't really understand seems like something of an existential risk blindspot too.

It sounds like you think AI is risky too - even if only at this intermediate level? I'm curious - do you have a view on how we could go about reducing this risk?
Parking brakes are really just intended to hold a car still when parked. They’re typically not very effective at stopping a moving car, nor designed to.
The emergency brake in a car has a small fraction of the braking force of the service (normal) brakes. The emergency/parking brake typically acts only on the rear brakes and often via a separate braking surface that is nowhere near as powerful as the rear service brakes, to say nothing of the all-wheel service brakes.

I hope you're right, but the process to make this happen will be painful and slow and the damages will not be compensated I suspect.

> If you don’t want to run the risk of your stablecoin getting stuck, don’t use mixers. Particularly after they’ve been publicly identified for laundering money.

Following this logic, should people stop using HSBC or any of the top international mega-banks? We're talking about banks that didn't "accidentally" let money laundering happen. They actively facilitated it. HSBC specifically laundered money for one of the most violent cartels in the world and not a soul went to jail.

Bit of a rant, but my point is that exactly where should people keep their money that is safe from being caught up in laundering? Such a place doesn't exist as far as I'm aware.
Ask HN: When will earth hit peak population? And what do you think it will be?
Hi HN,

This question popped up in my head recently, when Elon Musk made the conjecture that declining growth rate of population in the west (& everywhere) is the biggest threat to humanity.

Rising costs and evolving gender roles is causing people to reproduce less and later than usual. This phenomenon seems inevitable pretty much everywhere.

If this peak point is closer than expected, this could have big implications on the maximum size a organization could have.

Will the world have many trillion dollar companies if the population is not 7 billion anymore?

Maybe we live in one of the only few hundred year window where growth prospects are large enough for such large valuations to be sustainable.

What do you think?
Breaking Apart the maintainer Monolith (By Swyx)
That sounds very one sided.

The compromise (as the poster to whom you replied mentioned) should be “as members of society, we should occasionally compromise our needs to help meet the needs of people who prefer a more social office atmosphere, perhaps once or twice a week”, should it not?

Why should one type of member of society always be inconvenienced so that the other side never is?
I think it's well understood at this point that it's pretty much about giving people some shared language to talk about needs in a relationship. However, even with that, there's some contention— "words of affirmation" specifically seems to get a lot of heat.

Like, yes it's valuable to be aware of your partner and use those observations to uplift them, but it can also swing into some pretty unhealthy territory too ("when you raised that issue with me, I felt criticized, and then my words of affirmation need wasn't met any more; if you love me, you need to demonstrate that by not raising things with me") or even becoming a demand for unrealistic, toxic positivity ("I need you to be positive about/to me no matter what; I will be dependent on you for my emotional well-being, and if you're ever not positive to me, I'll become sullen and depressed and it will be your fault").

So yeah, love languages can be helpful as a starting point, but you still need guardrails in place (for example, a professional counselor) to make sure it doesn't get used in a manipulative, unhealthy, or unfair way.

This is your opinion. There are other possibilities.
I think GP was referring to enforcing GDPR against companies that do not do business in the EU (no employment, no sales, no bank account, no revenue, no taxes, etc.).

For example, a company like Digital Ocean might have no assets of any kind in the EU (assuming that they don't own their European datacenters), so the EU cannot force them to pay a fine nor seize their assets; the EU could technically sanction them by stopping EU datacenter providers (like AWS-Germany) from renting compute to Digital Ocean, but maybe not for something like a GDPR violation.
> and a software patch that lets a driver know if their brake fluid reservoir is running low.

You mean like every single other vehicle ever made? I thought this was a law. Also, if all it takes is a software patch, then that means there already a fluid level switch in the reservoir. Unless they are doing some magic computation that measures the brake fluid pressure and the brake pedal position that's able to detect air bubbles in the line. Modern ABS controllers are already doing a full physics simulation of the hydraulic brake circuits, so it's possible.

Depending on your application, write as much of the core functionality as possible into a cross platform library and/or server in your language of choice. Expose all functionality through a strong API.

Now you can build completely native GUIs in the appropriate language for each platform. Start with the platform which will likely have the most users for the application. Bonus if the application is open source, other developers will build all kinds of native GUIs for you. Just look at how many GUIs are out there for things like PostgreSQL, Git, IRC, etc.

I know this doesn't exactly meet your requirements, but I think this is the way to go if starting something in August 2022.

I am finding the same. Even a relatively simple deployment built on CDK has no end to issues and headaches, ranging from rollbacks that don't completely roll back to a previous state, dangling resources that aren't cleaned up properly, and the issues go on and on. This is mainly due to CDK depending on cloudformation which is, in my most humble of opinions, a non-starter for starting up anything more complex than a single ec2 instance.

Had we built this out in terraform, state cleanup and tracking would have been more robust, the ability to retry resource creation would have been more stable, the project overall would have been much more of a pleasure to use. The functional/declarative aspect of terraform in relation to cloudformation is so much more polished.

Edit: declarative
