I don't think Mozilla has any office presence in downtown Boston? They used to rent a tiny co-working space there for Boston-based employees to use if they felt like it, but I think they got rid of it well before the pandemic.

Oh, that too. What a mess.
Also, no heat issues. And I don't ever think I've heard the fan spin up on the M1 MBP, and I've hardly been conservative with loads on it. They're great laptops.
Honest question: Does anyone here successfully use android without f-droid?

From what I can tell, non-nonsense opensource utilities are simply undiscoverable on the app store.
Sounds cool, I hope one day I stumble upon your article that utilizes those very custom hard-coded knobs. Yet I wouldn't make a tool like that since tools should be KISS.

I don't trust those apps. If uBlock Origin was affected, I think they would have mentioned it.
That's my point. Even though I understand how unethical it is to eat meat, I continue to chose to eat it. I am not proud to remain a meat eater!

I only eat meat once or twice a week, and I try to consider the sources, but despite understanding the moral implications of doing so I have not gone vegan or vegetarian.

To my mind, this is similar to a situation in which I determine that using AI trained on unlicensed images is unethical but continue to chose to use those AIs.
Uber isn't the condition because it's still better than having no job, which is the alternative that you seem to falsely believe is preferable for these people.

KISS is exactly my point. :)
It’s 100% not true that all ISPs monitor DNS packets.

I’ve worked for several who didn’t. Of course all have the ability to do just that so as a user you can’t tell. If you’re in the EU they can’t sell that data at least.
That's only for long running programs generally with a GC. Ferret does not have a GC by default and furthermore can run without heap allocation if you want.

One of the ways to get lower latency is in fact to never deallocate and just ensure you won't run out of memory until the task is done.
I've run into a variant of this: Beer. Citrus is a popular adjunct flavoring for IPAs and other hopped beers. Sometimes it's obvious, a grapefruit shandy is going to have grapefruit in it; but I've also had beers labeled something like Orange Citra Juice Bomb where down in the ingredients it notes that the citrus flavor is boosted by grapefruit, but I didn't catch that.

Now, that's partially on me for not scrutinizing the ingredients, but also *beer doesn't have to list ingredients*. So it's entirely possible to have a beer containing a significant amount of grapefruit without any indication of it on the label. And that can be life-threatening, depending on the medication in question.

So that's something where I'd definitely appreciate a standard of noting grapefruit if it's in a food. Activated charcoal similarly.
If you appreciated that, you might also appreciate the vast array of world music performed by Arany Zoltan. He's one of my favorites. You'll find both ancient and more modern world tunes, all played with fine skill. Not sure about Sumerian though.

More or less. My local grocery stores don't carry the device or the cartridges.

Professional or higher end cooking stores might carry them, but the easiest place to get them near me would be a head shop (the places that sell pipes and bongs and what not, if that phrase doesn't internationalize well). Virtually all the head shops near me carry both the device and the cartridge.

You're right, that was somewhat hyperbolic on my part. Last time I checked, AR was in rough shape after losing the contract for the Vulcan first stage engines to Blue Origin. Losing SLS would probably break them, but the rest aren't in such dire straits.
I don't think we should gamble our human space flight program on a single rocket. Having multiple separate development programs sounds like a good idea.
Humans learn to produce good art largely by learning from existing art. Copying, mimicking, or just generally taking inspiration. We're going to need to get over this hang up. Status quo bias is dumb. Especially among people who are otherwise fond of piracy or anti-ip legislation.

Speech by Chair Powell on monetary policy and price stability
Oh trust me I can conceive many ethical ways businesses could operate without ads. I think what you mean is that you shouldn’t use a service you know is unethical. But there are problems with that as a general rule.

First being that there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism so that makes things difficult.

Second, “voting with your wallet” is pointless, you’re much better off voting with your votes and ad blockers if you want to see real change. If anything by your logic buying YouTube Premium is worse ethically since you’re directly supporting a company that makes money on unethical ads. Giving them more money won’t make ads go away.

And to that, third, demanding self-flagellation to prove that one is sincere in their beliefs is puritanical nonsense. You are absolutely allowed to both buy Nike shoes and fight for legislation that forbids them from treating their factory workers poorly.
The ad market already died in 2010. Today it's just bots or big players like Google and Facebook. News sites can use placed ads that integrate into the news feed and not easily blocked. Surprisingly I pay for more and more web content. For example video and music streaming, news sites, review sites, sell/buy sites, forum boards, niche content.
And since Starship has yet to reach orbit, one could say it's to early say.
My 8 year old Thinkpad is still my daily driver!

I think the X1 is a bit overrated - I prefer their T-series laptops for repairability and durability. You can generally pick some coming off of a corporate lease for a screaming deal.

Maybe he should just surprise us with it when it's ready and v1.0 this time.
Reminds me of Van Eck phreaking and the description of that in Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon.
There can exist a third category in which things are neither just nor unjust. It really depends on whether your logic system is two-valued or many. There isn’t any universal standard. Can’t you see that there are distinctions in strength between trust, don’t trust and distrust? If you’ve never dealt with someone before, you might not trust them. But you wouldn’t distrust them without specific reason.
Artists look at images (copyright or not) while working on their own images all the time. Many of Shakespeare's works are re-writes of stories that were common in his era? How is this any different?

And commenters seem to imply that the reason for mortality is the covid vaccine lol?
How about comparing data from most vaccinated (UK) vs least vaccinated (Austria) countries?
I feel like there was a reasonable article here about Image generation ethics that ends up completely muddled by a bad analogy to veganism.
I think the issue is, at least in part, that a lot of audio gear is existing. I mean if a recording studio was built around a million dollar digital console in 2006, there aren’t a lot of business cases for replacement when the engineering solved the problem years ago and when the hardware for the solutions is already at hand.

My engineering intuition is that millisecond latencies would be easier to solve because there the hardware is easier to build than sub-millisecond delays, and because millisecond delays are common for keeping microphones in phase.

A standard solution for avoiding AD to DA latency is an analog mixer because it provides a signal path running at close to the speed of light.

YMMV.
It wouldn't be a random person. It would be the country.

In this case, the guy with the problem is living outside of the country in question. He would still have access to Twitter but the people causing him problems potentially wouldn't.

My personal background includes a parent who grew up in Germany during WW2 and its aftermath, a parent who was a two-time decorated veteran and an ex boyfriend whose political activism cost him 3 years in prison in his youth. He was questioned under torture.
DevOps: An idea so good, no one admits they don’t do it
I feel like this is somewhat of a false dichotomy - I pay for plenty of content and have a good number of subscriptions, but that doesn't make the ads go away like magic.

If anything, I've seen more and more services where paying is just for "premium features," of which getting away from ads isn't one of them. Spotify is a key example - if you pay for premium you don't get ads interrupting music, but you still see their bundled advertisements on the home screen of the app, you get content suggested to you in a way that is very advertiser-centric, etc.

I think we should maybe split off the discussion of "how will these businesses get paid the way ads get paid" from "ads are bad and we should get rid of them." Frankly, I don't care if advertising as a business tanks and that takes other businesses with it. The externalities of surveillance capitalism are pretty shitty, and I'm fairly confident there are other ways for people to be productive within the economy that don't involve the invasive nature of today's advertising ecosystem.
Amazing work! Great to see such a tool getting the recognition it strongly deserve. Love it already!
Perhaps I wasn't clear, I am saying that this is bothersome because he wasn't convicted or charged. It's my first sentence.

I just don't care about the art angle.
Depends on the company. Web API (with or without VPN), VAN + EDI, Dial Up Modem (not joking), Scripted SSH/Insecure Terminal, FTP/SFTP/FTPS w/XML or Scripts or EDI, etc. Some communications/integrations are bleeding edge, some are older than I am. It really varies.

Then you have multiple half-measure attempts at migration away from the mainframe, so you wind up with a half-built Java layer and a half-built [Large Contractor] bespoke system.
Probably measuring the size is difficult, unless your camera is reporting depth? I don't know.

It's OK, I missed the "only" the first time around and read it the same way as you.
‘Zombie ice’ from Greenland will raise sea level 10 inches
"...The unavoidable ten inches in the study is more than twice as much sea level rise as scientists had previously expected from the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet. The study in the journal Nature Climate Change said it could reach as much as 30 inches (78 centimeters). By contrast, last year’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report projected a range of 2 to 5 inches (6 to 13 centimeters) for likely sea level rise from Greenland ice melt by the year 2100..."
I find modern meat factories abhorrent. While I'm not against eating meat, I cannot condone eating any that can be bought in our modern world. As even the best places are complete horror shows.

Considering this, I find it incredibly obnoxious to use the term vegan in this fashion, somehow equating training a software on copyrighted material to literally torturing living, feeling and thinking animals for their short lives. It is so completely out of touch with reality that I'm just speechless.
It'd not hard and alternative DNS-es were there as long as the DNS itself, for various reasons. There are even commercial variants like OpenDNS. In all these cases, the control is in the hands of the entity maintaining the blocklists. There is no advantage in "torrentifying" (there's no much to hide) or "blockchaining" it.
Funny - I had noticed something similar in the last couple of months, but hadn't though to look in to it more. I was seeing 30,000 to 50,000 attempts a day, but over the last two weeks, it's around 10,000.

Perhaps it's like mining cryptocurrency - all the low hanging fruit has been found, so there's hardly much sense in continuing to waste resources looking for more.
r/rust does look like HN, but that's for a very narrow topic. HN has broad topics with a niche user base.

Wonder how much of a difference it makes that most HN users can't downvote.

Not to defend Thiel, but don’t you think that his exist from Facebook (after 17 years) because of the stance they took at the beginning of the pandemic is worthy of some attention?

Specially, that Facebook suffocated voices of Trump’s advisors who opposed the lockdown.

“Social media, particularly Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, was actively suffocating voices, including mine, that dissented from the accepted COVID narrative. By August, Facebook told the Washington Post they had taken down seven million posts “for spreading coronavirus misinformation.” Meanwhile, Wikipedia crafted smears and distortions of my background and then locked it to edits”.

I believe marketplaces could/would form, acting as aggregators for sellers to list and promote their goods, and for consumers to go shopping.

In the 2020s, the web is nearing a level of criticality to a functioning society as the neighborhoods, towns, cities we access it from. Those physical properties are heavily regulated and with good reason.
My guess is: the administration controlling North Korea would be considered by many to be extreme (left, right, you pick) but in North Korea they are the establishment.

So too in SF, outside of cali they would be considered extreme (left, right, you pick) but in SF they are the establishment.

Not passing judgment on whether that’s right or wrong just saying that’s what that line could mean.
No.

This seems to be a straightforward example of Betteridge's law.
I don’t recall saying old technology is bad. I was more trying to say it served its purpose at the time but as websites have gotten more complex we’re still relying on this one single primitive.

It’s true that as systems scale often templating systems are introduced to alleviate writing html, but these systems are rarely complete which means developers - meeds unmet - need to “drop down a layer” and in that should be set up for success not failure. Having a design system that use brittle underlying primitives will not set developers up for success.
Not sure if this is the CPU, or something in the motherboard, or the integrated GPU, but yes, you can somehow hear activity outside the fan and the rotating disks. I clearly hear some quiet clicks when hovering messages or folders in Thunderbird both on my X1 Carbon Gen 9 and my HP Elitebook 640 G6. It's more obvious on the HP. It sounds like a silent HDD writing something, except I don't have HDDs in these computers. Possible related bug: [1]

I remember hearing activity on a Pentium II laptop (which had a Silicon Graphics graphics card) and I think on a Pentium II tower with a Voodoo 2 card too, years ago. The noise was quite obvious to me, it was more similar to the Coil Whine noise from a GPU recorded by LTT [2]

I hope I'm not cursing you if you hadn't noticed until now.

I think I misspoke. I understand Pi-Hole.

What I'm talking about is publicly usable adblocking DNS servers. As in instead of me at home having to install anything, just (probably clear a cache or something) and change all my DNS servers to a public reachable-by-anyone DNS server. No installation.
I encourage you to use a term like "aspiring vegan" or "mostly vegan" or whatever describes you. Binary terminology is a disservice.

Everyone cutting meat by 50% is more impactful than 5% of people cutting meat to 0%
The other day in the middle of reading an article a green border popped up around the entire page, blocking the beginning and ending of most sentences. At the bottom of the page was an advertisement for a Sonic burger.

I felt assaulted. There is no reasonable justification or purpose for this that takes into account basic human empathy. Granted this might be different from ads that do just make you aware of a product. But this reasoning is looking more and more like justification rather than purpose.
My work doesn't really put the pressure on me and I'm working 4 day work weeks, and yet some time ago I realized I'm a workaholic, because work was frequently my way of spending free time. In this article I explain how I came to this realization, what are the root causes, and what I'm trying to do about it.

Have you ever felt similar? Sort of, workaholic by choice? How did you manage to fight it?
Sadly yes. The first 2/3 are pretty good.
Don't forget the silent majority in FANGs either. A lot of us aren't working on crazy machine learning models, were just copying protobufs from one form to another.

Something as fundamental as eating -- a process you do multiple times a day to keep yourself alive, and compromising on is an incredibly large convenience/monetary/lifestyle tradeoff -- versus using AI models for generating images from text prompts are very different.
Instead of making smart as comments, why not actually make an argument.

Nobody denies its hard and would take singificant work.

But the fact is, all the individual subsystems are certified. The Falcon 9, a closely derived rocket is fully certified. The Dragon is fully crew certified for LEO. And both Falcon Heavy and Dragon are engineered from the ground up to be able to be certified if required.

If this was an argument about if it cost 5 million of 50 million then we could have a discussion.

BUT ITS LITERALLY ABOUT 10+ billion $. So unless you can make an argument that it somehow cost more to human certify Falcon Heavy and Crew Dragon for moon then the complete Falcon 9 and Dragon program cost in the first place then you don't have an argument. Only smart-ass comments.

So please tell me, what do I not understand. Why would it cost 10 billion to do the things I suggest. In reality, we know that it wouldn't even cost 1 billion $.
That's not all. Softbank's oversized investments into hype machine companies drove investors away from funding legitimate companies in those spaces. The approach of throwing huge sums of money at dubious companies is a huge tax on innovation.
Not much to debate, Alex Berenson is known for making false claims about vaccines, and Substack is known for letting people spread COVID-19 disinformation. It's a disgusting way of making money that hurts a lot of people.

I take your meaning, but just to nitpick one thing here in your argument: SystemVerilog is commonly used to model an abstract machine which is then synthesized into realizable circuits. Its selling point was compatibility and similarity to C, Verilog, and VHDL, all textual languages because the proprietary processing code was built that way. It doesn’t necessarily have to be this way, but it turned out this way, so logic designers don’t have another realistic option. Combine this with the misconception that HDLs are programming instead of modeling, and you have a setup for confusion.

Maybe. But then again, Musk is hellbent to go to Mars. If SpaceX indeed builds thousands of Starships, then a private-funded Artemis-like program will be possible for what will amount to spare change.

We are pretty close to (if not already at) the point where we don't need Government funding for space exploration.
Agreed. While I'd like to see NASA do it right, I'd settle for a couple more companies giving SpaceX real competition.

Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic do not appear to be those companies.
I've seen people actually signing up, but very little comments, I'm open to any feedback, especially critical feedback. Thanks for having a look.
Of all the deep questions surrounding this, copyright I must admit was not the first one that came to mind when I read the headline.
Sounds to me like you've decided that AI veganism is not for you!

I've thought about this comparison to human artists taking inspiration from each other a bit. The problem becomes the scale. A human artist can't look at 5bn images and use them to be able to instantly mimic the style of another artist, hundreds of times an hour.

Consider facial recognition technology. At an individual level, empowering people to quickly see all of the photos they have taken of their spouse through running facial recognition against their photos is useful and harmless. Allowing governments to run the exact same technology against every photo uploaded to Facebook is a massively harmful expansion of the surveillance state.

I don't think training models against 5bn unlicensed images is in the same scale of harm as running facial recognition against an entire country's worth of people. But this example does show that things that are fine on a small scale can be harmful at a big scale.
What about an app to find your dopplerganger by going through some normalized selfie process and auto matching? It would be a nightmare for privacy I guess.
Greg Ross has been tireless in pursuit of the overlooked interesting stuff and does lots of reading and research so we don't have to. He deserves a rest. Thank you Greg.
I worked on falcon 9 and cargo dragon, and was on a control shift for the C2 mission. Finding out about problems wasn't the stressful part. Actually launching the rocket and seeing it leave the launch pad was stressful. Waiting for the capsule to detach from the second stage and deploy its solar panels was stressful. Watching it approach the space station was stressful.

Learning about problems and solving them were comforting. It increased everyone's confidence that we had built a robust and predicable system. The head of the software test team would have snuck into the capsule if he could!

I think this article points to a missing product in the market - integrated cloud services but with the cloud located on a private server in the home.

That would be very cool but, sadly, 60% of that market is in this comments thread. And we want it to be open source.
