Watching the connection in verbose it appears the cipher list from both the client and server side being significantly shorter and matching on both sides speeds up the negotiation. There may also be other factors but that is what sticks out to me. I've not dug deep enough into this to see if utilizing different ciphers is also part of the speed-up.
Yes, I was agreeing with you. But granted, unnecessary comment.
Besides that, Porkbun is also cheaper in most cases.

Exactly. Garbage articles only intended for ad money and clickbait for the naive on read as far as the headline and it turns out the solution is worse than projected.

> what am i supposed to make that will make my life a bit better: an automatic doomscroller? scoffs

One heuristic is to think of what problems you face in daily life, and imagining a way to deal with them with technology. Problems don't have to be big, and your solution doesn't have to be perfect, just helpful enough.

"omg Netflix's recommendations suck" -> Personal recommender system

"omg I want to watch this movie, but I have to search all of the streaming services individually to find out if it's even available" -> Scraper

"I have lots of tasks to do, but want them to interface with my calendar and follow a particular priority, and remind me according to some set of rules" -> To Do list

Build small things and write about them. Eventually some will find success and you can choose to keep building or not.
If you have an itch to scratch, and you are really good at scratching that itch, and if many have that itch or will get it, OSS will open a lot of doors for you. If you can build a OSS-ish company like supabase or n8n, good for you. But you stand to win anyway.

It's not as cut and dried as direct compensation for effort or time, but with some luck, you will get to places that a regular job may not take you.
I don't think this is universally unethical, and even if one does find this unethical, it seems low on the list of unethical things to be worrying about. Even in the context of exploiting people's labor.

Furthermore, I think a lot of art generated by actual intelligence is made by those consuming tons of copyrighted material and putting a twist on things. Is it unethical to listen to The Monkees, since, to put it in the terms of the article, they were so clearly trained on the Beatles with a few tweaks here or there?
Just because the image is publicly available doesn't mean it should have been copied.
Some legalities worth pondering.
Are the AI generated images copyrighted?
Are they protected behind any form of paywall?
Are those using the images generated by the AI responsible for derived works?
All that scientific advancement to end up 50 years later with a Moon vehicle not much more different than Apollo.
Berenson is beyond wrong, but I wouldn't use Twitter moderation as any kind determinant.
Yeah there's a premium. For me the T14 is still thin/light enough, and it has an Ethernet jack (!), and it's a lot cheaper.
The author asks us to consider if social media is so large it should be a state regulated entity, then concludes with an implicit argument for decentralization, or perhaps more specifically anti-trust.

So we have two mental models: (1) ubiquitous social media like YouTube is so large and important that it has become a public service, or (2) ubiquitous social media like YouTube is so large and dominant that it has become a monopoly.

The weird part about the "public service" argument is that it's hard to say I would ever want tax dollars funding "video distribution," while I don't have those qualms around distributing water and electricity. Content feels different to me. But maybe future generations will look back on that and laugh.

The weird part about the monopoly argument is that the barriers to entry for video hosting and distribution are low, and there are many different social media platforms, so the only thing YouTube has a monopoly on is... being YouTube. But perhaps that's enough?

Ultimately I'm more sympathetic to the anti-trust argument, that we should take action to break up mega platforms (although I'm not sure what that action should be).

What has more appeal to me personally is establishing a Constitutional Right to Privacy, then apply that right to ban surveillance capitalism. (US-centric framing, sorry; I would advocate all democracies adopt such a right.)

Such a right would mostly break up social media, with the side effect being an unknown degree of harm to online platforms in general since it's pretty hard to operate the server-client model without tracking your clients. But we could work around that, perhaps with local-first software, or by common-sense provisions like the idea that a store can keep a record of your purchases, it just can't share that record with others.

There's no obvious easy solution here, but this is a big society-shaking problem so I think there's no doubt we will take steps to solve it, the only question is which path will we choose, and how will it work out in the end?
Don’t you share DNA with like all living creatures?
I'd say that's ok, too, though that's tougher since humans are spreading and clearing ever more acreage of land for farming that it's affecting what used to be the habit of many animals not just the elephant. There's no clear, easy answer here, but surely we can take a hard stance on folks that hunt them for sport or the ivory trade.
In addition to being OSS, Do you mind sharing the differentiation or with overlap w Lightrun and Rookout?

I'm wondering why the question was presented in the first place then, as this is in the quote:

> In Nevada, Marchant has been leading a state and local push to dump ballot tabulators and count results by hand only, which election experts say would be costlier, more time-consuming and less accurate. “We all are advocating for getting rid of the electronic voting machines,” Marchant told Bannon, falsely claiming that using computers in election systems introduces a “10 percent error rate.”

I remember when it was Democrats worrying about the threat that vote counting machines posed to elections. Somehow this article simultaneously complains that election chiefs could manipulate the voting process (by changing the wording on paper forms) while not challenging the idea that the tabulators that these chiefs select and configure are more accurate than a human count.
I believe Son has succeeded with this strategy if the bar for success is him getting rich and getting others rich. In the early 2000s he came from nothing, made a fortune, lost it all, and then remade it again. But at the end of the day, his strategy essentially hypes a company which then IPOs and he offloads his risk to the general public. He might be a good example of survivorship bias, how many have tried this very same thing only to fail miserably?
As a consumer, Uber was superior to taxis in a number of ways: clearer pricing, competitive pricing, ride sharing, transparent routing, digital history and receipts, integrating with other apps, etc. What damage do you think was done to transportation?
It can be seen as offensive from both directions:

- Artists: you’re comparing us to animals raised for meat now?

- Animals: you’re saying killing and eating us is equivalent to stealing someone’s picture?

Honestly though, the more I think about this particular analogy the more I like it.

The key to the analogy isn't meant to be about eating animals compared to ripping off art though - it's about personal ethical choices. From the article:

> ... my current mental model is to think about this in terms of veganism, as an analogy for people making their own personal ethical decisions.
> * Tiring and useless interview process designed by FAANG etc is no way a farce and a totally justified practice (some version of Stockholm syndrome there)

I'd say it's the opposite. The view you're expressing: that the standard software interview process is somehow "useless" strikes me as a bubble here.

I'd wager most people not on hackernews don't hold your view.
To start understand how deep the rabbit hole goes: browse "common" share-holders of starbucks (is their another type of shares than "common" for starbucks?).

Then you get the usual vanguard and blackrock ppl: microsoft CEO, apple, etc. I am surprised not seeing somebody from google (since they were vanguard-ed/blackrock-ed too).

Then on this page, you can see that starbucks has MASSIVE debts, then they have gigantic interests to pay all along the calendar year. Those are huge streams of money going to... wait... oh, we don't know, the debt owners are not provided.

Yes the tail can wag the dog, with enough government insiders anything is possible.
> Allowing governments to run the exact same technology against every photo uploaded to Facebook

We should allow _everybody_ to run the exact same technology. Governments are not special. Power to the people.
But all new business, big or small, have traditionally expected to eat losses till they establish themselves. How is this any different though. Even govt gives taxbreaks to new developers.
I'm not a physician or neurologist, but I read a lot about this when I started suffering from tinnitus. There are indeed multiple types.

- Hearing loss related: the tiny hairs in the inner ear that transform vibrations into chemo-electric signals get damaged and start sending the wrong signal.

- Cardiovascular: a pulsatile rumbling that varies with heart rate. It's the sound of the blood flowing through some artery near the inner ear. I remember reading that it was caused by loud arteries and that it could be detected with very sensitive microphones.

- TMJ/cervical/postural: I think this one was about motor system or pain signals leaking to the ear circuit, but I'm not sure.

- Timpani related: wax buildup, tensor muscle acting funny...

This rough classification only deals with the "input" part, though. It doesn't explain how these bad inputs reach conscious hearing, causing distress. As a general rule, over time extreme pain becomes just pain, torrid heat becomes just heat, blue and red can be seen as white depending on the lighting conditions, even hunger and thirst are modulated by the nervous system. Eventually one learns to cope with tinnitus, but it's kind of fishy that this isn't filtered upstream by the auditory system, before it reaches conscious hearing.

As a former Catholic, subscription authentication is not strict. It's also apparently not difficult to get admin privileges — one of the priests teaching at my tiny high school was gay, and the pastors of both churches in my small midwestern town were eventually discovered to have been uncomfortably handy with children.

In the faith, the joke is that all Catholics are "à la carte Catholics" to some degree or another. Many will even dismiss papal ex-cathedra statements that they don't like, even though papal infallibility is Catholic dogma.

No, we really don't have significant statistical evidence. Even for the rocket family. And there is no need to look for the reference you can't find since this is all verifiable from public data.

The ULA workhorse was the Atlas 5. Over its whole lifetime, both under Lockheed and ULA, it had 95 launches of which one was a partial failure (declared success). Wikipedia is good enough for that.

The SpaceX workhorse is the Falcon 9. https://www.spacex.com/launches/ puts it at 176 launches with 1 failure and 1 partial failure. This is not counting one that blew up on the pad with the satellite aboard.

The measured failure rate of the Atlas 5 is 0/95. Of Falcon 9 is 1/176. Note that 0/95 < 1/176.

The measured "not perfect success" rate of the Atlas 5 is 1/95. Of Falcon 9 is 2/176 = 1/88. Note that 1/95 < 1/88.

Also anyone with basic statistical knowledge will immediately see that the sample size is sufficiently low that we cannot draw any conclusion at 95% confidence.

Now what Falcon 9 does have the crown on is the longest string of uninterrupted successes of any rocket family. They are now at 148. (Not counting, of course, the one that blew up on the launch pad with the satellite on board.) But not enough to be statistically strong evidence that they are best. Also ULA has over 150 launches across their rocket platforms without any being declared a failure - which exceeds SpaceX's current winning streak.

That said, I agree with you about ULA's advantages, and I agree that SpaceX is the future. But I'm not going to lie about the math. And the math says that there isn't significant statistical evidence that SpaceX is better on safety.
Just off the top of my head:

F/A-18 was designed by McDonnel Douglas in the 1970s (Boeing has never designed their own successful fighter jet. Not once..)

The 777 is from the early 90s, close to 30 years ago.

The 747-8 Freighter is highly derivative of the 747-8, a 20 year old program, which is itself derivative of an airframe who's design began in the 1960s.

The 787 is your best counter example, that program started not quite 20 years ago and hasn't been a complete disaster.

The T-7 is a Saab jet; Boeing's contribution is being an American manufacturer so the jet could win the contract.

Estimated project cost is $13B

Or: about 130,000 $100k single family homes.

In other words, you could build and gift a single family home to nearby every single homeless person in California for this cost of this rocket.

Would I rather waste money on a redundant, congressional committee rocket, or waste money giving people houses?

Without spacex, the rocket is worthwhile. But with spacex, it is a complete waste of time and money.
If workers are choosing DoorDash, it seems like your ire should be directed at all employers other than DoorDash who are offering a worse or no deal to them.
TL;DR: Spacex is literally 4000x cheaper but maybe SLS is worth it because of warm fuzzies.
I was reading the comment I replied to like that, but on a second read it doesn't suggest that so much.
Artemis already depends on Starship. So if Starship fails, Artemis fails.
(Ignoring the language itself for a moment) I absolutely love cargo. It’s so productive & easy to use. I have never had the pleasure of using such a painless cross platform build system. I’m neutral on Rust itself but Cargo is awesome.
A chorded keyboard for Android? Colour me interested!

Ever since I saw a chorded keyboard demonstrated in The Mother of All Demos I've been totally sold and have wanted one of my own.

Personally, I'd want to use one just for programmable macros instead of general typing. So something more like a "function keyboard" rather than something like a stenotype.

It could actually make a great beginner hardware hacking project?
"Stable Diffusion has been trained on millions of copyrighted images scraped from the web."

> Sounds to me like you've decided that AI veganism is not for you!

I feel it is insulting to veganism to try and coin this term. The moral arguments are not similar, and this one is frankly much weaker.

> 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.

A human can mimic something with a single reference. It might not be good, but that can hardly matter for a discussion of ethics. The morality cannot depend on whether or not humans can do something poorly or not.

> 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.

Entirely different issue that happens to utilize a similar tech.

> But this example does show that things that are fine on a small scale can be harmful at a big scale.

It does not.
Id imagine almost all normal users have auto-update on and so they never even go to the App Store or see the patch notes.
There are two key differences between the syndication feed provider and the HN provider:

- The content type: The syndication feed provider only supports "article" content which is just a string with rich text formatting. The HN feed provider allows Fluent Feeds to download and display the complete comment tree for every item right inside the app.

- The content storage: When a syndication feed is synchronized, its complete content is stored in a local database – including the item content. This is not necessary for the HN feed provider as it loads the comments using the API whenever the user selects the item for the first time or when the user manually reloads the content.

In addition, the HN feed provider is a demonstration of the app's modular approach. Once plugin support is implemented, it will probably be provided as a separate plugin that can be added by the user.
For new customers/drivers yes. Not really for existing ones.
Pro tools like Omnigraffle handle that sort of thing. Best of both worlds.
Here the tortured animals would be the artists taken away their jobs by AI models that trained with their own copyrighted contents.
A simple google search turns up tons of those - as you mention though, which ones do you trust?
If money is really the fundamental motivation to do something then yeah I would argue that's not art. I'm not saying if you get paid you're not making art. I'm talking about what's driving someone to do something.

Like most chefs are paid to cook but are they doing it, fundamentally, to get paid or there's really another fundamental reason driving their passion?

If someone is painting or making music for social reasons like being accepted by others, becoming famous, finding their identity in what others think of their painting/music, getting rich, etc, that's not really what art is about.

Of course this is only my opinion about a modern conception of art and what an artist is.
Interest rate hikes will continue until inflation subsidies and interest rates will remain high after that.

"Restoring price stability will likely require maintaining a restrictive policy stance for some time. The historical record cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy"
Yep, but "doing whippets is dangerous" is the big takeaway.

I'm not sure what the answer is, but this seems like a strange move for a state that just legalized cannabis.

While the article you cite does not identify changes to US state taxation, in this period we've had an incredible reduction in corporate taxation at the federal level, so I'm not sure I find the research paper convincing for the larger point being discussed.
Off Grid Solar Desalination
I recommend reading more about copyright law. The questions you are raising have been considered carefully for centuries. While the modern US settled compromises may be repugnant to you as to me, the expertise behind how these things are considered is valuable and constitutes many-years-of-study's worth. Learning about the complicated contours of what is considered legal and what is considered ethical in "artists [looking] at images" – among which there is a lot of distinction – may explain why others here would expect there to be legal and ethical distinctions among how deep learning systems may process and regurgitate their input.
Arguably NIMBYism is a bigger factor to the lack of housing than the cost of building the houses.
This method is ostensibly significantly more efficient: https://news.mit.edu/2020/passive-solar-powered-water-desali...

I don't know much about solar/EE, though. Was wondering if anyone here could gauge the merits of the second method as compared to that of the Elemental Water Makers' system. Or any insights about solar desalination in general (for a hypothetical island without a fresh water source).

...Which is amusingly because the US is less strict at immigration/customs than most other countries. Since it lacks any exit controls, there's no need to segregate the international departures section of the airport, which has the side effect of meaning you have to enter the US to get to your connecting flight.

The problem is that SLS is inherently unsafe for humans. Much more so than any possible alternative, real or paper rockets included. Almost all those money left for actual engineering probably were spent on duct taping this monstrosity to be even a little acceptable for human rated flight.
> It should be a black mark on anyone’s record.

Exactly. I have always maintained that a small but significant way to put pressure on 'evil' companies, like Palantir, is to blacklist any employees who have them on their resume, making it difficult for them to attract talent. Unfortunately, I have found that very people share that view, and I am hard-pressed to figure out why.
