> Big fines are a start, but a better approach is taxation, since that takes away the regulatory risk for the companies.

Companies should obey the laws first and foremost. I'm not sure there's a lot of regulatory risk either; Google certainly has enough lawyers to know that what they did was illegal.
I honestly feel there is a big gap in the market for a good community software.

Something which ties events in the community with messages and also has voice chat and other capabilities on the side.

Discord is popular because there are no free alternatives which does what Discord does poorly.
> Losing 5% of Google's annual profits will absolutely scare the shit out of them.

No it won't. We all know that this won't be the last of such violations from these big tech companies like Google which the EU is disputing and especially when Facebook paid a similar fine to the FTC years ago and is once again still violating the privacy of its users. So it is clear that they still wouldn't change even if the fine is as high as that.

The fact is, they are not scared of these fines. Setting them in the multi-billion dollars should be the standard and the minimum and continuous violations warrant a much higher significant fine than this generous discounted fine which Google knows it can easily afford to do it again.

For them, the violations is worth it and pays more than these so-called generous 'fines'.

> Because you lament the lack of a multi-billion dollar fine when the title states that it's a $4B fine. This comes off as nonsensical and disconnected from reality, in a way that triggered "¯\_(ツ)_/¯, maybe it's GPT3".

Except I already said that 'this' fine "needs to be much larger" and disagreed with the EU's 'generous' fine. I'm talking fines of over $10B dollars, which that still qualifies as 'multi-billions of dollars' and 'much larger' than the EU's small fine. I made myself perfectly clear on my whole point.

So my comment is hardly 'GPT-3 bot' generated.
The movie actually made me read books so it's not complete waste.
I do not care for this trend of omitting the publication date from news articles. Temporal context is very relevant in news articles, especially to assess whether the information has been superseded.

(I know, one can often find the publication date in the HTML source, but that requires savvy, and should not be necessary.)
Hm, I was going to say before podcasts, but then there's TV. So I was going to say before TV, but I bet it was like this on the radio.

Let's go with the 19th century, when it would have been more difficult to read five of the same interview with someone in five different newspapers.
If anyone involved in this piece had ever mentioned Operation Choke Point during the last fifteen years this might have been better argued.

There is tons of room for improvement, did you improve it? As in, did you tune ES to your specific hardware and search needs?
LOIs are nearly free. They're basically securing a spot at the front of the line just in case Boom manages to deliver.

Unlike Theranos, supersonic engines already exist and they are regularly used by the military. The issue is that none of the big boys are willing to pony up a lot of money to build, test and certify one for civilian use unless they can definitely get paid for their effort.

And yes, there are willing buyers who will pay ludicrous amounts for comfort or speed, as the increasingly elaborate arms race in first class (eg. multi-room suites a la Etihad's Residence) and the entire private jet market demonstrate. The Concorde was profitable towards the end of its life despite mind-bogglingly high fuel costs, so there's definitely a market if -- and it's a big if -- Boom can pull it off.
By definition, an IO bound problem does not "choke the CPU", because at that point, it would be CPU-bound.
That is a genuine Yorkshire accent (i'm not sure which part), for those that are wondering. At least i think it is.
If privacy is a top concern why are you walking around with a tracking device. Even without Google. It's literally a tracking device.
Well, I am a white guy from the Cleveland area. I do have a good sense of what northeast Ohio is like. I haven't lived there in 15 years, but I do visit several times a year. The amount of negative change in Ohio in that time is staggering. Columbus and a few other parts of the state may be doing well, but much of the state is in decay.

I don't think Ohio is unwelcoming from a people perspective, although around where I grew up is MAGA central, so I am not sure that it is super welcoming to immigrants or people who aren't white and straight. The people are generally friendly when they know you.

The politicians, however, are fairly insane, and since I left the state, they have allowed guns in preschools, outlawed abortion, blocked intracity rail to connect to their major cities (and don't invest in infrastructure beyond sprawl), have continued to hollow out their cities for almost exclusively sprawl building, etc. There is very little emphasis from Ohio policymakers on creating policy and infrastructure to attract people.

One big area that Ohio has cut in recent decades is higher education funding. What is a great way to attract immigrants and startups? Higher education spending. Research universities, in particular, foster and help create startups. This is one of California's secrets. An elite state research university in or near Cleveland would probably be a much better way to invest in the state than what policymakers have been doing.

In short, the people of Ohio are generally friendly if they know you, but the state isn't doing anything to attract immigrants or people from other parts of the country.

They may have been confused by the fact that Berenson recently announced his intention to sue the US government following the revelations from his Twitter suit, but to my knowledge he hasn’t yet done that.

So he sued Twitter and won and was then reinstated on the platform.
>My argument is that the editorial decision to shove a comment from some rando I don't follow in front of me by Twitter should fall under the above, and that s.230 should be changed to specifically exempt based on the rules above.

Except the use of an algorithm to determine where content is placed is not "editorializing" in any meaningful sense, nor is it equivalent to the platform "creating" that content, and thus making themselves, rather than the author, liable for it. Do you believe comments on Hacker News are "editorialized" by being upvoted or downvoted? Is Hacker News responsible for poorly written or false articles that gain traction on the site?

It's an absurd argument, based on the misconception that platforms should be completely neutral in regards to content in order to receive Section 230 protection, when the entire purpose of the law is to protect exactly the kind of "editorializing" you're talking about. If you want the law to be repealed, just say that.
You'll need to build in content moderation in an open group chat (ala shoutbox).

If this is more a one to one chatbot, this is similar to existing chatbot solutions in the marketplace but you could evolve your own spin on it. It seems to be positioned for early stage websites/apps where you can keep up with a low volume of active users.

Yeah, that surely wouldn't grind everything to a halt and effectively make the existence of non-megacorporations impossible.

No, what should instead be done is prevent the existence of these megacorporations which have disproportionate influence on humanity in the first place. Prevent them to form and chop up the existing ones aggressively into smaller ones.
Fences are not mentioned anywhere in your quoted text. Note that serializing instructions are not fences (although there are overlaps: some fences are also serializing instructions).

In any case on x86 the instruction cache is coherent with the data cache all the time, the serializing instruction is needed to flush the instruction pipeline (not the cache).

I'll concede that there are some non-x86 architectures where the instruction cache is not necessarily coherent with the data cache, but it is not terribly relevant as the topic here is concurrency, not self modifying code.
Iran has blocked Telegram in 2017 and 2018. Presumably they could be doing that as well soon which is why I was highlighting some Signal features to help.

This is just "replicate a startup cheaper" with extra steps.
When you load up a webpage and there is a little box like this in the corner of it offering chat, how quickly do you close it so you can see the page it's obscuring? Do you even notice it or is it just another thing in the list of twenty popups you have to close before you can see the actual page?
Came to say this. Their pro version, even in cloud, would come in under what OP is asking for.
That is only relevant if you assume state-owned enterprises can't innovate.
Correct but this wasn't the arms. It was the subframe that they connect to. And the rust was coming from the inside out - a so-called "perforation rust" - which isn't detectable on MOT and is usually mistaken as surface rust.

Thanks! Happy you liked it! Theoretically works with any audio/video stream.
Except they're not. Content aware fill uses only your image as the input and runs space-time video completion. Since it doesn't have to train on datasets, it's not part of the conversation.
You either do single-cam and a laugh track, or a multi-cam with no laugh track. They made the poor choice of mixing the two.
Are you arguing about whether Python is a good language or whether it's a slow language? The former is a matter of taste, the latter is objectively true. And there are good reasons to believe it will remain true.

It's created billions of dollars in value, sure. So had JavaScript and PHP. Doesn't mean they're good languages. Mediocrity gets you far, if you're at the right place at the right time.
I have only used the android version once and what a pain that was. Clearly designed to only push content on the unsuspecting user and nothing else.
I personally feel that conscription/drafting carries a different connotation than impressment/shanghai'ing, but maybe that's just due to the historical context in which they were used.

The former I expect to be a highly managed process through which the state renders you unable to seek employment, housing, education, free movement etc, in order to coerce or capture you violating the law, encouraging you to present yourself willingly rather than dealing with criminal charges in addition to or instead of conscription.

The latter, my expectation is that mercenary recruiters, driven by sales team esque metrics, eventually resort to pulling random young men off the street, out of bars, etc, based on a best guess of the young man's age. It's far more chaotic, error prone, and disruptive to family life, while being less coersive.

The similar thing this project has got me really wanting is the ability to find snippets of a topic across all the podcast archives I like. Sort of the podcast equivalent of falling into a Wikipedia hole and learning all about a topic from different angles.

Re: other tools -- We're a developer platform, so we're offering tooling from that angle: packages you can drop into a platform and just start using. (In this case, audio search). What's nice about the way it works is you can swap out components: use any transcription engine, any set of models, etc -- and then query across the results.

Some of the transcription-specific API companies (like Assembly) are starting to build in search capabilities, which will also be useful depending on workload and whether you want to add your models or endpoints to the mix.
Using AI is probably the only way I would consume Joe Rogan podcasts. But do you worry that this will contribute to our polarizing political landscape by taking things out of context? Do we trust AI to have deep understanding of the nuances of conversation and debate?

It’s on every pro-Ukrainian telegram channel I read (and I’m reading way too many), mostly in the context of comparing Iranian boldness to feeble Russian protests against the war.
This is a defeatist justification for using Android that fails to account for the fact that neither Apple nor anyone whose app is on my phone knows where it is right now.

My cell carrier has a non-precise idea of where it is, but may not be able to tie it conclusively to my identity.
Ya, that's a real possibility, and some of these cases will probably turn on the judge's perception of whether that is what was happening. It seems very hard to prove in a case like that one though.
Not quite but they are trying.

Microsoft Teams now has the most users but they have been pumping money into it like it's free. It's a typical SV move, let's see how long it's sustainable, ie. enough time to kill everyone else.
Thanks for posting that link. I took a look at their website and it's reassuring they way they succinctly pitch permaculture: "One collection of ideas and skills that’s already handily packaged and awaiting adoption is permaculture—a set of design tools for living created by ecologists back in the 1970s who understood that industrial civilization would eventually reach its limits." The phrase "already handily packaged and awaiting adoption" is a simple message that could get the point across to policy makers and the public (even though it ignores that there have already been successful permaculture-based ecosystem restoration projects for decades now).
Yearly plans are not the issue. The real problem is to work with different plan intervals: for instance, when a customer switches from a yearly plan paid in advance to a monthly plan, you need to prorate the period they used your product and issue a credit note to refund them for the rest of the period.
Yeah a little more skepticism will be nice, but I still personally see myself getting fleeced every now and then.
Not sure, that's why I asked. I can imagine some tethering rigs send over the camera live view by default.
The internet is the digital equivalent of Guthenberg's press in Europe: on one hand, it ended the cultural primacy of the Catholic Church; on the other hand, it opened the door to hundreds of years of violence over who could reclaim that primacy.

Eventually we will find a new equilibrium, but right now we're in choppy waters.
I was pleased to see recently that a couple of different brands at my local DIY store had interoperable batteries. I bought a small lawnmower which now uses the same battery as a cordless drill from another brand. The brands that joined are listed on their marketing site[0].

Edit: One of the companies has a slightly less obnoxious website which also lists brands[1]

It's not entirely chatbot nor group chat. I think discord server is the most closest to Taku but also not entirely.

Right now yes it's mostly positioned for early stage product that have some suer base but they wanna know more about their users so they can know what they should work on
Honestly that sounds exactly like the type of "small niche" of customers that GP talks about. There can't be too many megacorps willing to do this and I bet most project managers wouldn't go for it either.

Btw, that sounds like the worst solution your sister could have agreed to. She was tired of living in a hotel but is willing to keep living in an hotel and also fly back and forth between Prague and Amsterdam every week?
>Lastly, based on my luddite eyes, the difference between makita, milwaukee, bosch, dewalt and ryobi batteries seem to me to only be a different keying in the plastic mating parts

The fact that you can buy adaptors to allow one brand's batteries to be used on another brand's tools would seem to back up your theory. However, with the adaptors costing around £20 each and being produced by no-brand 'warranty voiding' unofficial third parties you've never heard of, it would be an expensive business if you wanted to be brand agnostic in your power tool choices, as you'd need a heap of adaptors to cover all the various combinations of tool & battery. Added to which is the potential for a dodgy 3rd party adaptor to damage tool or battery.

I'd like to see the EU designate a common battery interface for all newly manufactured tools & batteries. That way we could buy the best tool for the job each time, instead of being locked into using whatever the Blue, Yellow, Red or Green team are fielding in that area.

The manufacturers would doubtless also produce their own adaptors to allow their existing tools & batteries to work with this new 'One Interface to Rule Them All'
If you're in a sitcom and only dig that deep, perhaps. In real life its easy to read body language and see if a junior is struggling. By the end of sprint one, you look at actual output and if it doesn't match your interpretation you adjust and get to know them better.

Of the tools you listed, none are made by the same company. At least for their primary products.

All of the large format packs have pins for each cell, so charging with a standard balance charger is pretty easy. You can find plenty of schematics for homemade controllers online. Where they differ however, are the other pins. Some use a communication protocol like SMBUS. Some have dedicated pins for specific things like overcurrent or temperature. It varies highly from manufacturer to manufacturer.

AFAIK, all tool brands are moving to communication protocols for the packs.

[EDIT] Someone mentioned adapters. I don't believe there are adapters that support newer communicating packs (e.g. the OEM chargers won't work with the adapter). Older packs are all analog, so conversion is just a simple matter of rerouting the pins.
Can it autovectorize integer operations on lists? Can it remove branches from accessing fields? I doubt it.
It is possible but unlikely. It is likely that clearnet use of monero is monitored, for example. But in terms of security, monero users are very cautious. The code has been independently audited, and has generally succeeded where other cryptonote-based cryptocurrencies have taken fatal missteps.

I suspect that most monero black markets are taken down by sting operations. The black markets all have a limited shelf life and these days they tend to intentionally retire before getting "silk-roaded"
For example, not require that Chrome be preinstalled as the default browser on Android devices, and not require that a bundle of Google apps be preinstalled if any of them is preinstalled.

I really like Juila. I just came back to writing a lot of Julia (after I realized I was starting down the path of recreating the enormous effort of the Julia devs by adding specialized multiple dispatch to Scheme). It feels incredibly flexible yet performant in a way that most languages fail to realize.

However, it can be incredibly frustrating sometimes. This article is a great example of the kind of wizardry you have to do to figure out why something isn't as fast as you thought it would be. There seem to be a lot of, "If you don't do it this way, it'll still work, but it will slow as hell," practices that are in the community's collective knowledge, but are big stumbling blocks in the beginning. (making sure you have concrete types in struct fields, the Val type and dispatch vs an if statement, how to write "type stable" code, etc.)

I had a lot of incorrect ideas and assumptions about the type system and the specialization mechanisms until I watched the Julia internals talk on YouTube from like 2014. This is probably due to it still being relatively young, and it has gotten better over time.

There are a lot of things to like about Julia that make this bearable though! It's really a great language to work in.

I want to fully reply to this but there is too much to dismantle and it would be unenlightening to do so.

All I will say is that in being offended by a rather benign comment, you have yourself committed what you accuse me of.
A very small bit.

Readers aren't parsing sentences this closely and comparing to previous statements.

Unless they come out with an editorial statement apologizing then they aren't really serious about their own involvement in censorship on behalf of those in power.
RICO laws in the United States work that way.

> Under RICO, a person who has committed "at least two acts of racketeering activity" drawn from a list of 35 crimes (27 federal crimes and eight state crimes) within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering if such acts are related in one of four specified ways to an "enterprise." Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity."

Thank you for posting back. I have a list of technologies to try for an upcoming project, and Meilli is one of them. Our language is Hebrew, and I had just written in my notes file that Meilli is a no-go because of the GP post. Good think that I thought to refresh the page before moving on.

Such a comment on HN can be very damaging, as I generally trust the posters here more than in other places. I know that I'll have very little time to properly assess technologies so I'd like to shorten the short-list as much as possible. Again, thank you.
There’s no other way to see those types of efforts as anything other than attacks against science itself

The funny thing is most of what you call bad faith questioning ended up being approved by “Science” (cloth masks being ineffective, how the virus transmitted, covid origins, etc.)

Unfortunately it seems like for you and many others, science has turned into a religion conducted by a priestly class that cannot be questioned.

Let's imagine for a second that someone really wanted FB out of Europe. FB would fight tooth and nail to stay - because losing the European market would be a huge blow to them. Practically every European business at least tried using FB ads, some have permanent campaigns. There is no way FB would ever leave Europe. They will fight, they will pay, they will protest, but the chances of them leaving are exactly zero.
