> This is plainly not true.

Which part isn't true?

There's an online corpus of the Russian language [0], whose entries of usage of the word Urkaine date back to the 17th century — you can easily see which preposition that word took throughout centuries. If you search through books on Russian grammar on Google Books, you will find examples specifically prescribing the preposition "на" throughout the 20th century.

The whole controversy about the preposition started somewhere around the year 2000, and quickly became political. For a disinterested Russian, who is not into politics, "на" would be a natural preposition to use with this word simply because he would have encountered it in classical literature, in the movies, or on TV. It was semantically charged only for those who were aware of the debate. The response from the linguists used to be that if Ukraine wants to use the preposition "в", it is free to do so for the Russian language spoken on its territory; but that it should have no say on how a language is used in another country.

I understand that in the recent years the usage of this preposition has become a political shibboleth; but I am not speaking about it from a political angle. My points are that the usage of this preposition, with this word, in Russian, is 1) historical, and 2) to those who aren't making a political statement, semantically neutral (i.e. it does not, in itself, connote derision, imperial ambitions, or anything of the kind). I have not made any claims about the Polish language (other than that, to my knowledge, it doesn't have articles).

You quoted something I said but seemed to miss the point.

Maybe it was a coup, maybe not (leaning towards no as it was a pretty popular protest). But Zelenskiy ousted Poroshenko regardless and absolutely no one doubts that Zelenskiy was elected.

Those guys have been calling for runaway inflation since 2011 though. So we ignore those permabears.

Calling "inflation" for 10 years in a row is basically boy-who-cried wolf. No one believes you, and when you're finally "correct" about it, its not because you had any analysis, its because inflation inevitably occurs in a boom/bust cycle.

Broken clock correct twice a day + Boy who cried wolf syndrome. I still won't be listening to the permabears / runaway inflation guys even with today's market conditions.
> But sure, you are part of a movement to change the definition of open source to suit certain business interests in opposition to the original principles of freedom that motivated the concept of open source.

I am not a part of anything here, unless I suppose you want to place me in a very loose group of linguistic descriptivists. I am concerned here with how the phrase "open source" is actually used across the breadth of English speakers, not with how it is defined solely by groups and persons with specific political goals.

That's not how any of this works. Yes, the fed sometimes wants the economy to slow. This is not because of some global conspiracy to make poor people poor, it's because if they don't now they are putting it off to be much, much worse in the future. It's letting off steam so you don't explode. Interest rates rise to try and combat inflation because if you don't it leaves people starving.

Rates should have gone up years ago, but a stubborn fed kept putting it off (and COVID didn't help either). The Fed does not benefit from everyone being poor. And I'm someone who thinks cynically all the time, check my post history, but this is just uninformed.
It's interesting whether there will be a change to the norms.

It's my faint memory that for music, when it was just some kids looping breaks on vinyl printed in the hundreds or low thousands, the sampling was fine or at least not obviously an issue; but then copyright-holders saw that those artists and their management had started bringing in real money, and the laws were clarified.
Thanks for this - I was watching a video of ice cream making with my son the other day, and the guy making the ice-cream said how it lowered the temp, and I totally didn't believe it was correct and started to explain my theory before realising I had no idea. Great to see it laid out so clearly!
It was priced in but not with 100% certainty what the fed would do.
They realized immediately that AI has reached a disruptive point for the stock photography industry, just like the digital composition changed the rules years ago.

Probably their value in the advertisment production chain is going to become close to zero in a few years, and they will try to stop or at least slow it down.

But once we have open source models released to the public I cannot see how a local legislation can have any impact at all.

Getting home requires no additional fuel if using a free-return trajectory and you don't want to be there for long.

Instead, ballistic free return trajectories are sought which also incur a close encounter of the icy moon. The spacecraft could sample a plume (or upper atmosphere) during the hyperbolic flyby.

The time frames are on the order of 20 years.

OTOH, you would only have a few dozen hours near the planet. ("This 16 year mission, has the Titan flyby occurring about 10 hours prior to Saturn closest approach").

A machine operator does not own the copyright on the parts his machine stamps out even though he puts in inputs. GM's engineers can own the copyright on a car they design in CAD.

If you put in creative inputs using a tool, it is copyrightable (a car's design). If all you did was say, give my XYZ widget (in this case 'give me a picture of a frog holding an umbrella under a rainbow') you only gave instructions for generating a widget, you did not create art.
> I dislike working with people who always want you to come over to their frame of mind rather than trying to get into yours or meet in the middle.

I agree with due diligence, but the “frame of mind” argument is way to subjective.

It also suggests that they have known about slackers and have been OK with it.

1. Very unlikely. Which means they're lying.

2. They are incompetent for keeping people that are slacking

If people are truly just slacking off then they should be let go as part of the normal business process. This focused effort to get leaner suggests that there are many known slackers that they were OK with up to this point.

There is really no reason to call people slackers even if it's true. They should have went the patreon route of saying they fucked up and hired too many people into roles that didn't provide as much value as they need.
If you disband and replace the police with different services, one of the services will be armed and capable of responding to violence with greater and more organized violence, which will be a recursive creation of "the police".

Ken Klippenstein's great report over at The Intercept that even the Fed’s own research warns that continuous interest rate increases could trigger a “deep recession”. https://theintercept.com/2022/09/09/recession-federal-reserv...

I can predict that next time around the Fed is going to trigger a full 100 percentage rate increase thus triggering a much deeper recession thus more layoffs and job losses as a result. It's by design really since even the Fed wants to get wages down and shift power back to the employer.

Buckle up.

But if we are honest:

1. is it really worse then windows

2. google does has privacy option, partially thanks to the EU forcing them
and as far as I can tell they are not randomly "undone" with updates from
time to time

3. a lot of more common users do also have instagram and similar, do most things
through android/iOS apps and use google search and chrome, or some chrome derivate.
How much additional information does using ChromeOs expose?

Don't get me wrong for most people on HN it probably is degrading privacy. But this is not targeting the common HN user.

This is targeting:

- existing ChromeOs users looking for an upgrade

- this includes devs

- this includes less tech affine people

- this includes people which bought that premium Chromebook with a 3:2 Google sold years ago

- this includes a bunch of google (ex-)employs which might have been the driving factor for bringing out a ChromeOs version

- this includes junior devs which grew up with a edu focused chrome book

- people which care about the mission of framework, but are not highly tech affine, they might seem rare but they do exist

- presents, Chromebooks can be nice presents to less tech affine users and if they anyway use mainly Chrome and similar it's not necessary "reducing their privacy"

- people feed up by Linux desktop issues but disgusted with Apple Hypocrisy and totally feed up with windows since a while

- especially if they are not supper sensitive wrt. privacy. And while such devs might sound like a myth on HN I have meet docents of them

Lastly it's the same hardware and probably more or less the same driver support issues, so the cost of shipping such a version is probably not too high while at the same time it can give you a bit more supply chain stability (by removing hardware choices outside of cards).

The main question is if the firmware is in a state where you could just install Linux or Windows if you want.

> The new challenge is AI can generate "potentially infringing" work at a much higher rate than humans, but that's really about it

The other challenges are:
(i) the model isn't a human that can defend themself by explaining their creative process, it's a literal mathematical transformation of the inputs including the copyrighted work. (And I'm not sure "actually the human brain is just computation" defences offered by lawyers are ever likely to prevail in court, because if they do that opens much bigger cans of worms in virtually every legal field...)
(ii) the representatives of OpenAI Inc who do have to explain themselves are going to have to talk about their approach to licenses for use of the material (which in this case appears to have been to disregard them altogether). That could be a serious issue for them even if the court agrees with the general principle that diffusion models or GANs are not plagiarism.

And possibly also (iii) the AI has ridiculous failure modes like implementing the Getty watermark which makes the model look far more closely derived from its source data than it actually is
Pay a tax and cut more trees.
> Or do they start QE again?

Why would they start QE? Fed rate is at 4% right now, there's more than enough room to drop rates if an issue occurs.

Given the data however, its unlikely to happen. We're currently at record employment levels. The expectation is for the rate to keep going up to maybe 4.5% next year, and finally that's when inflation is quelled, and we taper off rates sometime next year.

Of course, we need to keep up with economic data and see if these rate hikes have the desired effects.
I think the kleptocracy in Russia feels cornered and vulnerable. They are entirely dependent on a) the subservience of their own population and on b) high energy prices. Too many times in the last 10 years they have felt the squeeze on both. And so they're lashing out with a brutal mixture of old-style colonial imperialism and jingoistic nationalism -- "why should you get an empire if we don't?"

Hence Lavrov constantly crowing about the hypocrisy of "the west." It's not that they think what the US empire has done is immoral. It's that they (and by they I don't mean the Russian people, but instead a select cadre at the top) want the same thing for themselves.

The irony is there was no singular unified west until Russia invaded Ukraine. Out of that conflict, they have inadvertently forged a much more united western opposition to them.

I hated the whole concept of NATO until Russia invaded Ukraine.

So yes, I agree, think Putin overplayed his hand in a clumsy way. But he may have had no other choice.

The parallels to WWI are strong.

Here's what's weird. Believe it or not, the Fed Funds Rate lags 10Y Treasuries and rarely goes above it [0]. I would even go as far to argue that's it's mainly a potemkin policy tool at this point, since our economy is so exposed to 10Y Treasuries, which have completely unrelated pricing dynamics.

So in practical terms, if there is political pressure to lower the 10Y, The Fed will probably cut Fed Funds (doing nothing, hopefully dropping it as a policy tool going forward) and then everyone will kind of realize QE is the only current policy tool that actually works.

But then what, people will be calling for more QE to make mortgage rates drop? I mean fine, but it does speed up the 'when does the market question the concept of the Fed owning the Treasury's debt' problem.

> I suspect the Fed will be forced to inject more money into the system again, to rev up the US economy, and weaken the hyper strong dollar to protect people in developing countries from starving.

Although a noble cause, the Fed's goal isn't to protect people in developing countries from starving. I don't see why this would impact their decisions at all.

Foreign countries defaulting because of the difference in currency valuations could cause the US economy to go into a recession - which is something the Fed does care about...

Right now - there is no realtime chat support but we are going to add it soon.
The rationale behind going for the message board style first was that the market already has too many chat platforms at the moment and though the communities on chat platforms are great the context gets lost pretty soon when there are too many members. This also leads to reduced quality of discourse.

There is a use-case for real-time chat as you mentioned though. For eg. a community of baseball fans will need a real-time chat during an ongoing game and they shouldn't need to switch platforms for that.
"Armed robberies would probably require an armed response"

You're the one who challenged us to think about how to enforce laws "without a militarized force". And now you're saying we'll need armed response. Which is it?

This is why people who advocate getting "rid of the police" (your words) sound like they're talking out both sides of their mouth.

"Get rid of police!"

"No, I didn't mean to get rid of police entirely. Why would you think that?"

It's not a good look. People who talk like this are self-sabotaging their side of the argument by using intentionally double-speak language.

This will never go through so long as people continue to use phrases like "get rid of the police".

If you plot your trajectory so that you will just slightly in front of neptune, shouldn't you be able to use it's gravity to slingshot you back towards the inner solar system?

I'm skeptical that it's worth it... because higher powered radios just aren't that expensive, but it's not obviously (to me) impossible either.

Actually capturing your probe back in earth orbit... probably would be prohibitively expensive. But it seems like you could at least get it close by for a shorter communication distance.

I think of it as the server instrumentation being obfuscated away. I don't really like the name because it seems misleading, but the offerings themselves can be really handy.
There are various factors:

1. Partitions around workspaces create a modest barrier effect, not so much realizable for your nearest neighbors but those more distant. No one installs partitions up to 48" or 52" but you have to at least break line of sight to the noisemaker to realize any improvement. This reduces signal.

2. Acoustically absorptive ceilings avoid the overhead reflection that would be the next cue to an occupant. The partition comes first, but this is second. Another signal reducer.

3. Background noise, whether a consistent HVAC system or sound masking system raises the noise floor of the environment. We have a pretty good sense of what level is acceptable to most people, but there will always be those with sensitivities. The noise is usually pink noise with some EQ to sound like HVAC air distribution. Unfortunately there has to be some treble in the noise signal to reduce the consonants of speech, which can be more annoying.

You won't make nearby co-workers inaudible, but the hope is that those 20 ft or so further will be less problematic. For inaudibility you have to get S/N to around -10 dB, that's a noise floor of 10 dB higher than the source, which is only realizable with walls at least to the ceiling.
