Laws bind people, and people should comply with laws. Technology is not a person.

People who make technology should not be expected to add measures to it to make sure that nobody is ever able to use it to commit a crime. This kind of thinking would have resulted in guns being banned until technology exists for the gun itself to detect who was firing it and what it was being fired at, to prevent any crimes from occurring.
Dont you understand that if your website accepts user-generated comments then what users post is completely out of your control? All you can do is delete the comments. But that isn't considered good enough anymore. How would you feel if a few rogue users did this to you and got your entire website deplatformed for something you were helpless to stop?
You make it sound like it’s impossible to bike in less-than-perfect weather. Which is false. Makes me think you haven’t really tried to use all those new shiny bike lanes.
Are you for real largest SV companies can't find a single "diverse" board member or C level but spend 100s of millions evangelizing how they care about diversity and on employee diversity training?
Well so far a lack of regulation has led to a tragedy of the commons like situation.
I suspect violence is not the cause of the demise of those malls, but one of many symptoms of the root cause.

Malls generally have retailers that are more expensive than big box or strip mall alternatives. Lower income neighborhoods have both more violence and more residents with a preference for value pricing.
I'm 100 failed experiments away from reaching my goals
This particluar tangent isn't about delivering energy. Most people seem to have accepted renewables have already won that price competition.

But there's various grid services which aren't just about delivering energy. There's a weird assumption that steam generator tech is automatically better at these things than modern inverter-based technology, but I'm not aware of any case where that is actually true.
Pressing the brake pedal doesn’t mean the physical brakes are being used, though.
And you are free to search through the whole catalog of google results until you find an owl that looks exactly like you want. Though this is going to get harder as you want something more specific than a simple owl.

But the approach for stable diffusion is just as easy whether you want just "an owl", or "an owl in X's style with A, B, and C"
I believe the new 4x nvidia series uses 450-500W.

Throw in 2 monitors and a speaker system and you're coming close to overloading your 15amp breaker.
So the funny thing is I was hearing the same thing ( that the average cup size had increase to C) back when I graduated high school in the late 90s.

I think non anectodally, this trend is something that has been going on for a long time. If I remember correctly we blamed microplastics in the water minicking estrogen, and starting puberty earlier.

What is the truth is probably unknown.
You should have an electrician check the wiring too. You might be leaking a little current due to decaying insulation.

If you have to wire a room, ask for a larger gauge of wire so have the option of a larger breaker if you want it.
Zeihan's argument is that the pinnacle of us engagement was Bush I. Clinton's international engagement was mostly superficial and the only deal he got done was NAFTA, which is regional, not internationalist. Bush II's major international engagement was fighting wars. Same with Obama (though a rapprochement with Russia was tried under HRC watch -- that is clearly out the window for the near term). Trump was definitely disengaged -- he spearheaded decoupling from China and withdrew from the military engagements of his predecessors. Biden is so far more or less continuing the trump foreign policy with the exceptions of Ukraine (duh) and returning to Kyoto -- though the US was well on its way to meeting Kyoto obligations organically, and much of Europe is very likely barely not going meet kyoto
Human and animal studies demonstrate that it doesn't seem to worsen insulin resistance if treatment is ceased, but probably doesn't significantly improve it either.
> Compare of the little loss of the privacy, and the possibility of funding the evil state like North Korea and its infamous neighbour. I would choose get rid of the evil country.

Damn, those goalposts moved like lightning. From "making it a bit harder for North Korea to get a bit of extra cash" to "abolishing the North Korean government" in a single sentence.
Ah, yes, a sloppy calculation in my part. I probably wanted to say something like 20 bits in the original tweet.
Autonomous vehicles can communicate too. Why not just an LED screen in the front that displays its intentions? "Your turn". "My turn".

I can see how it’s confusing, but it’s a fairly well understood term by people within geopolitical circles. Unless you believe latitude is the most important explanatory variable in geopolitics, I don’t think the edge cases are such a big deal as to prevent us from using global north/south as a shorthand.
Could it be because solar panels are nearly useless in northern Europe in November, December, January, and February?

I've made several Twine stories, participated in IF jams, and see folks using IF/stories/&c fairly interchangeably. It could certainly be that Twine keeps a naming convention in order to be neutral, but as an IF writer and therefore more or less a community member, it's not something that I see people fighting over as opposed, say for instance, to the roguelike community.
Doesn't "the AI" train on art produced by people? "Just expand the dataset, just increase the parameters" seems like it should hit a wall fairly quickly... and still not be very good, because deep learning systems have no insight.
Community colleges in my area have been taking over and converting old and dying malls slowly.

The real issue is the issue everyone has these days. The rent is too high. What business does enough to justify giving the mall it's cut?
I did crud apps earlier in my career. I moved on to big tech, where there was again crud but at scale. Sometimes building workflows, but a lot of it comes down to doing X in a scalable manner and keeping costs low.

How’s your work environment? I’d encourage you to consider how much do you like your team, your leadership, growth opportunities other than just crud vs non crud.

I worked in big tech. Learned a ton. Made a bunch more money. Worked with some of the toxic people in the world. I mean, leadership was abusive. As I climbed the ladder, got coached on being an asshole to people.

Figure out your priorities. Grass isn’t greener.
My site does serve itself out of a UNIX socket, so sendfile() may actually work. But most of the data is served with handler functions though.

I have not noticed that wealthy people care more about the environment than poor people. It seems to me that it tends to be the other way around.

Bicycles are already produced at scale and have been for longer than cars have existed.
Yep. A driver pulled suddenly in front of me into the bike lane I was in, to pass cars to make his right turn, saving him maybe 30 seconds. He didn’t check for me, hit his brakes to make the turn, and I had to split lanes left to avoid impact. Luckily I was familiar with this stretch of road and paying extremely close attention, and the other cars were driving safely, else I would have had a very bad day.

I confronted him and his response was “Well we didn’t collide, what more could you ask for?”
Yes haha. I'm sure my habits will change as I age
I'm not quite sure whether this is a genuinely held point of view or devil's advocacy.
Ask HN: Is total compensation for Cyber Security in the high $300's?
I have three friends that switched from programming to Cyber Security because of higher total compensation.

One has been developer for 10 years and has regularly made about $150k and claims that he will make more when he gets to 2 years experience in CS.

That seems high to me, but I thought I would ask rather than trusting some salary reporting website.
This is the thing you'll start to notice; any city that is good to bike/transit it will be even better for cars; and so it quickly becomes less of a "make this city walkable/bikeable" and more "ban cars in the city".
Dall-e can create beautiful images of oil paintings that can be printed to canvas, much like original oil paintings are printed to canvas.
Sadly what is currently available as FSD requires a driver to be more attentative than if it was off (the car will bail on FSD and you have maybe 1 second to respond) . You would be safer on the road if FSD was off.
25% of funds being illicit does not mean “pretty much everybody” is using it for illicit reasons. Your argument really falls apart here, but the sweeping generalizations don’t help.

Monero and TC are equal parts useful for non-criminals who are seeking privacy.
Alcohol seems to be the common factor in those thriving establishments, and unfortunately for malls, alcohol probably doesn't mix well with an indoor mall format.
The tweet you shared looks like low-effort stock art with a "deep" idea that I have already seen thousands of renditions of. It looks quite similar to a PowerPoint of 36 images picked from stock sites with (slightly fancier) fade transitions between them, and a background soundtrack.
I have no horse in this race and pardon my nitpicking but those two phrases are not equivalent.

For E2EE,you describe the base level capability: Secure message between two parties.

For Mixers, you describe an act that the capability of making money hard to trace enables: Money laundering. If you applied a similar argument to E2EE (as many have and will keep doing), encrypted communications are a way for people to do illegal things away from the eyes of the law. Trade illegal items, send banned/illegal/questionable content, etc.

From a pure capability standpoint, mixers, like E2EE, are a way to secure XYZ activity (Which happens to be money transfer) from prying eyes.

Show HN: Stripe-quality API client libraries with a single button click
TL;DR- Libninja will generate world-class client libraries for you, without you needing to fiddle with openapi-generator, maintain build pipelines, and so forth.

If you just want Rust, reach out, and I'll create your client library at no cost, because I want to help Rust's ecosystem grow.

--

Hi HN,

I got into Rust in a big way about 9 months ago.

While the language is quickly maturing, one large gap in the ecosystem is immature or non-existent client libraries for common API services like Plaid, Stripe, Twilio, Github, Slack, and so on.

The existing openapi-generator templates create Rust libraries that don't even compile out of the box, so I started down the rabbit hole of creating a Rust-based toolchain to generate Rust client libraries based on an OpenAPI spec.

Rust is an incredible language to build codegen tools in, because of algebraic data types, Rust macro system, and Rust's incredibly powerful libraries for AST transformation (quote, syn, and more - almost solely due to dtolnay - thank you!)

Before long, I realized it's a common painpoint for API companies to maintain build pipelines, tweak openapi-generator templates, and so forth, to get client library generation working.

I added support for more languages, and soon after, Libninja was born.

If you're an API company, Libninja will generate world-class client libraries for you.

Client libraries:
- help your users integrate faster (meaning you get revenue faster)
- reduce the number of bug reports and support requests (because there's no ambiguity about using your API)
- Give your users a phenomenal developer experience (editor autocomplete, API documentation in docstrings, and more)

PS- If you just want a Rust client, reach out, and I'll create your client library at no cost, because I want to help Rust's ecosystem grow.
Cause a lot of europe is on the same latitude as canada.
Is Rust old enough for there to be a 'modern' Rust?
Very true. It will be a while before the high-end art market is at risk - if ever. Quality human-made art will likely rise in value with the influx of AI art, due to perceived scarcity. The major disruption in the short term will likely be in the stock photo/art market.
> Younger folks seem pretty excited to allow more biking and walking and rolling, though.

The difference may not be age; it may be having kids and dealing with the practicalities of that.
I wish there was greater acceptance in the west of bike-based contraptions like bikes with big cargo baskets / barrows, or trailers, or bikes with sun/rain shelters above. They do exist but are usually considered kinda dorky and weird and most bike infrastructure isn’t designed with these larger vehicles in mind. But they are common in several Asian countries and can be very practical. They help with the “I can’t use a bike because it’s raining or because I need to carry groceries” problem. Of course they are heavier and take more effort to pedal, but c'est la vie.
I was thinking climate controlled small golf carts would be great too.
I can't live in a REIT.
I feel that one of the problems of “bike urbanistas” is lack of utilitarianism. There is no realistic road map to make modern cities in the most of the world to look like Amsterdam/Copenhagen. That is my major problem with all this proposals. They try to see the problem in a vacuum and don’t take any real situations in to an account.

As for me, I wish it would be possible to choose bike to get to work (i have 5 of them already). But even with ideal conditions and electric bike i still live 15 miles/25km from work and the trip will take at least 1 hour. It rains and it snows from time to time here and there is no way that it would be possible to get rid of car infrastructure in any even the most idealistic dream.
> no one is out there advocating for plain text websites.

The gemini folks (gemini.circumlunar.space/) basically are, but I think it's a similarly niche / reactionary take.
Sounds like your tired REST CRUD. Maybe try switching to RPC CRUD.
I think you mean statically-typed, I'd like that too so I picked F#.

Elixir is already strongly typed (e.g. I think you can't use a number where a string is needed and doesn't automatically coerce).

I'd also like higher performance numerics in Elixir.
I guess a precise defition of the line would be something like "no third party code dependencies"
hardware manufactureres might even be found to owe compensation for the unreasonable externalities (cracking) forced upon the customers.
Google pushed Chrome hard for years on its sites, it's true. It used to be suggested at the footer of every Youtube results page ~10 years ago, be suggested at the top when you visited Google search, Gmail, Translate, etc. It'd pester Firefox users by saying it's better and ironically even users using Chromium forks which it's based upon.

IIRC some Firefox devs also accused them of tweaking sites like Youtube in particular ways that only affected competing browsers and made performance worse comparatively.
I would be positively terrified cycling anywhere near self-driving cars in anything other than ideal weather conditions on recently renovated simple streets with simple streetscape and recently painted lines. Drivers may be poor, but they are poor in predictable, known ways. Self-driving cars will be sudden, unpredictable and disastrous poor drivers in edge cases for a very long time.
Wasn’t the top of the line DEC Alpha drawing 200 watts at one point?
Worked in Logistics and can confirm. AT&T had a dozen different data formats for the same data across their network of warehouses.
Peak draw for even a current-gen graphics card is well over 500W. There are rumors that a 4090 will need as much as a 1500W power supply to run it. That's almost a complete 15A circuit just for the PC once you factor in cooling, speakers, monitor etc.

I already have issues where the breaker would pop with my current gaming PC if it fully spins up and I had to get a 20A circuit put in to handle it (mostly because there is more than one computer on the circuit).
Why is social status even mentioned? What’s that got to do with anything? If you care what people think about you or your status because you arrive on a bicycle that’s on you, it’s not a general “disincentive” for cycling.
It's worse when you have a person to attribute it to. A bad driver could be a senile old man. A dumb comment could be from some edgy teenager or $0.50 shill. A functional adult who should know better behaving that way is hard to have sympathy for.
to be fair someone could also go toss a steel bar on some railroad tracks or drop rocks from the top of a highway overpass.
Generally you need to use a custodial exchange to do this, which creates a point of failure/censorship. Doing this onchain / trustlessly on protocols such as thor have significant liquidity limits afaik.
Not quite lisp syntax, but not far off: https://github.com/Kindelia/Kind2
I once solved an urgent business problem (related to interfaces FYI) by realising there must have been a 3rd party solution. A quick search and I found it. It went onto client sites soon after.

To be fair, the problem had to be solved using code anyway (why I was originally brought in), so another team wrote that, but it took several man-years. My interim 'fix' bought the company a lot of time.

This isn't a great example as the code had to be written anyway, but you get my point I hope.
Yes, creating the actual ML model and curating it's input takes effort, a lot of it in fact. Taking someone else's ML model and shitting prompts into it does not
I dunno. Fast food haven't killed restaurants, and restaurants haven't killed home cooking. Fast food is a huge problem, but many go to restaurants and many still cook at home. We're in no endgame at all. If it worked this way, artists from poorer economies would have drowned out all other art. But for some reason, it just doesn't work that way.
I've wondered this too. Probably wouldn't be too hard to make a machine that de-solders them to be reused

I will certainly not like the new lock screen stuff but looking forward to editing in iMessage and multiple stops in Maps. Nothing special, but lockdown mode seems interesting.

The revoke mail feature seems useless, technical this means that the mail is send some time later, and in this time frame it is possible to revoke? (bringing more delay into delivery)
You're right, and "think" is doing a lot of work there.

Everyone wants their very own special magic guestbook plugin or some damn thing, and they're often very much a "my first PHP module" thing. So it's hardly surprising that they're not the best code or written with particularly safe practices in mind. Guddling about on some old disks a few months ago I found some of the very first PHP3 code I ever wrote, and it's one big SQL injection from start to finish. The 90s were a simpler time...

Roughly half the 404s on the forum I run are some attempt to access WordPress admin pages, which I guess must tell us something.
This needs to be done everywhere. Move as much people to remote as physically possible, which is basically everyone who works in an office, and change all that into residential real estate.
> All these power hungry beasts coming out of Intel and NVIDIA feel quite out of sync with the zeitgeist in a world that's worried about the power bill -

These CPUs aren't consuming 250W all the time. Those are peak numbers.

Both Intel and AMD are providing huge efficiency gains, too. Rumors show the new i7 13700T Raptor Lake part can have a 35W mobile TDP and still outperform a Ryzen 7 5800X: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-13700t-raptor-lake-a...

Speed scales nonlinearly with power. These high TDP parts are halo parts meant for enthusiast builds where it doesn't matter that the machine draws a lot of power for an hour or two of gaming.

It's also trivially easy to turn down the maximum power limit in the BIOS if that's what someone wants. The power consumption isn't a fixed feature of the CPU. It's a performance/power tradeoff that can be adjusted at use time.
We're in month one of these tools, so I think your predictions are incredibly short sighted.

> Like the other commenters have written here, art is a lot more fluid than you give it credit for.

And the new workflows will be as well.

> Professional illustrators will always have work

They're in work because the job takes 10,000 hours to learn and individual pieces take 2-10 hours to create. Not anymore. The dam got busted.

> In any case, a big part of the work for illustrators do is in refining the vision of their client and exploring the space of art this way.

You tell the illustrator, "I don't like the arm". They come back the next day with something new.

You tell FancyIllustrator.AI or whatever the same and you can draw a squiggly and have ten new concepts to refine from. Game over.

> This is as much of an issue with the current AIs, you need to ask for something very specific to get a good looking image. Iterating to produce a quality image can take hours.

Do they? Maybe they don't? Maybe we're at a point where people can author html/css, and if there are syntax issues, they just 'break' until someone fixes it. 25 years ago, maybe we needed some laxness, and perhaps today, we don't?
I think that the 'everything is a file' approach used by POSIX is partially flawed. There are certain fds that you can't interact with in the shell (I forget which, but it think it was container related). Ultimately these feel like cargo-culting and show the limitations of the POSIX model. However, a namespaced system (directories) containing endpoints (files) is a good idea.

I think that dbus does a much better job of this (and it should be possible to have a tool that interacts with the system bus on the CLI). I would definitely take more inspiration from dbus than POSIX for a modern OS.
It's also really obvious and definitely would be a side-effect of cars becoming more popular. Nobody considers the "anti-jaywalking" laws around crossing railroad tracks to be an issue, and everyone recognizes that a train will flatten a pedestrian without a problem.

People really like a conspiracy because it explains why things aren't "good now" without having to actually wrestle with the causes and reasons why things may be the way they are.
