> Instagram told TechCrunch that all accounts are held to the same moderation standards.

Turns out Meta's claim of equal standards being applied uniformly across the platform is false.

Yet another case of FB doublespeak.

If only FB would hold itself accountable to adhering to the policies it publicly proclaims and embraces. Oh wait, that can't be totally automated and thus doesn't scale.

What's the solution here? Or any solution?
Maybe unrelated, but I must say it again: we need an arduino for the fpga world.
So I was actually trying out uBlock Origin Lite [1] (the MV3 compatible version) as my daily driver for the past week and I must say it's not that bad. I had to manually enable content access for a handful of sites but doing so on an opt-in basis and getting more performant experience on 98% of other sites is actually something I'm going to use going forward even if MV2 compatibility gets pushed further into the future.

I wonder how long things will stay that way though, when sites will tailor their tracking/ad annoyances to exploit the MV3 limitations. I really wouldn't want to opt into every single site I visit.

I think this is more targeted at beginners or at hardware/electronics people that have little software experience. In those cases vscode + platform.io is probably more daunting than a simple arduino editor with a button to flash your code to the chip.
I wish I was in your shoes! I also had no issues with HDMI until recent years--but HDMI-eARC is so buggy on Samsung TVs, especially when being used with surround sound or a sound bar. I had no problems before I moved to a surround system/beyond ARC, but with eARC I need to reboot the TV at the wall once every two weeks or it will "forget" it's plugged into a sound system, it's very annoying. It was far worse when I first got the TV and updates have improved it somewhat, but it's still very annoying. I don't hold out hope for Samsung updating the TV for much longer, my last one from them they abandoned it after the first year. :/
at any company the sales person will have a "base", but at none can they take it for very long. even in 100% commission roles if you make no sales you get what's called a draw check because it's illegal to pay less than minimum wage per hour worked

Yes it’s good to maintain a healthy dose of skepticism and I could (more than likely) be equally wrong, but I hope my comment encouraged others not to take comments online at face value always.

For what it’s worth, I signed up to fast mail yesterday, onboarding vs my cloudflare managed domain was a breeze and so far no issues (it’s email hosting (and their iOS app isn’t great), so there’s not much to get excited about on a day to day basis - apart from a long term appreciation of privacy first email).

I have just started using the Spark Mail App - now that I am excited about…if it lives up to its hype, it will be a great addition to my workflow.
He doesn't seem to show anywhere that it is "philosophically unhelpful". I do think philosophical ideas can be taught with zero historical perspective, but it is a whole extra step to say studying the history of philosophy is unhelpful philosophically. That would have to be demonstrated.

They could have, but they didn't. Unless you make negotiating such contracts illegal, they and their competitors & partners will keep doing it.
Now contrast this with something with RDR2, where even though the possibilities were not quite as limitless, at every corner you would encounter a polished and thought through side story or character. By the end of the game it felt like a piece of literature, with an actual cohesive conclusion and ending.

The cyberpunk world is amazingly modeled, but to me it constantly felt like I was bumping into the “seams”.

Sadly this is often a feature of our modern Polish culture. We tend to go big on huge ambitious projects that over-promise everything. We have fantastic technical and artisan domestic talent to do it with. But then we crunch to deliver on all the promises at the same time. Only the end result misses that special something, the meaning, the message, whatever. We often will see it in other Polish industries as well, movies, tv shows, tech etc.

Our indie stuff is often awesome though - small teams with grit and determination to get one or several thing just right.

Just plug your laptop to an HDMI port, and use a wireless mouse/keyboard set. I've been doing this for over 10 years, and since 2020 I'm also working from home. Nothing beats a 70 inch "display", my workspace never felt better than on my TV. Using the TV remote to consume content is soooo annoying, and not having the ability to block anything you want (i.e. using Ublock Origin) are absolute deal breakers to me. It surprises me that the average HN user doesn't do the same as I do. TVs are just glorified PC monitors, nothing more. No internet for them.
Nice. We'll adopt your word above. Thanks!

It's the opposite now - you increasingly have to use "Google-fu" to make sure that your query is not creatively reinterpreted in ways that are virtually guaranteed to yield irrelevant results (but more of them) - e.g. substituting words with "synonyms" (which aren't), or removing the most important keyword from the query altogether.

Once 5G is cheap enough the TVs will come with built-in 5G in order to always be connected.

It's pretty common for public networks to still have a captive portal to get the user to view an ad or click "I agree" before actually granting full connectivity.
Likewise. I used to mostly buy Samsung. My latest TV was an LG OLED. Not only I find webOS infinitely more usable than anything I've seen on Samsung TVs, but the image quality is excellent and even the built-in speakers are acceptable after I disabled the crappy AI-assisted stuff that makes it all sound like it's reverberating in a dumpster.

Almost no automation, I use automation when it helps the manual process like searching for open ports or discovering directories and files.
> > whether there exist videos which will retrospectively have archival value which are not captured.

> And that’s not really a question: there definitely exist videos that have a certain historical value which were deleted from YouTube, and most of them before I archived them cause I am lazy.

Sure, but you aren't the only one backing up YouTube videos. It seems at least plausible that the aggregate storage capacity of the entire data horder community and their propensity for backing up whatever they come across could result in a situation where if something is interesting, somebody ends up capturing it, right?
It's a thing of the past in residential areas. There are ~80 wifi networks that I can detect from my apartment, and not a single one of them is open.
Having managed a small data center in the past and having seen what it takes to manage multiple enterprise-scale data centers, the answer is "no, AWS does it better."

The company that I'm in right now has two engineers (including myself) who are building and maintaining a product that serves millions of streams a week. There's no fucking way we could have done this ourselves. One F5 would cost more than our entire total AWS bill for two years - and we'd have to have at least 4 F5s if we wanted to try to match AWS. Plus the media encoders would cost a fortune.

For some things it's fine to head over to lowendbox.com and pick up a cheap VPS hosting package. We could theoretically build our stack on top of a bunch of VPSs, sync everything with rsync, etc. But then we'd be spending time building infrastructure (which is pretty much valueless) instead of our product.

The Return of the Mighty Martyrs
It seems you suggest to base the boundary on how easy/trivial it is to make something go away from your posession, akin to "big man in a suit of armour — take that off, what are you?" line of reasoning. Well, the problem is that stripping tools from someone is not that much more difficult than stripping memory: some fair amount of violence would be necessary in both scenarios (blunt torso traumas vs. blunt head traumas).

Because it's not real intelligence and because lots of money and expertise are thrown at something that's not going to get us closer to AGI.

As a neo-luddite myself I'm personally fine with that (as I'm personally fine with us throwing money away at CERN), but there are people who still think that AGI is possible and who also think that reaching AGI is a worthy goal, so those people might not be ok with chasing windmills.
Legally it doesn't work that way.

Although I think that the laws should be strengthened so that it does work that way.

Amazon needs to be forced to give you a permanent license any time you "buy" a digital right. Those bits need to really be permanent. The structure of Amazon's contract with the producer needs to be changed so it is clear that the consumers rights to those copies are non-revokable. And that law needs to be made retroactive to all past contracts. The termination of any contract with Amazon should only lead to Amazon no longer being able to sell new digital copies.
You sound like somebody going on about how vinyl is better than CDs. Sure, projectors give you that "authentic" cinema look, in the sense of bad color reproduction, especially being unable to show dark blacks like OLEDs can.

The "cheap sitcom" look is objectively better. With the right filters you can reproduce the cinema look; but nobody who isn't already used to it would want to to that, unless you are going for a specific "old school" style.
This engineer thinks good engineers are much more fungible than good salespeople. The engineer's output is worthless unless someone else can be convinced to pay for it. It will be more difficult to automate the sales function than the engineering function.
I figured there were compatibility modes like this. I wanted it to be more comprehensive, a widely-accepted rule that if you're running both versions, they use the same address in every context. Fewer variables this way. Maybe this had to be from the beginning.
China has near cutting edge nodes. And that's without EUV. So I really wouldn't call it unsuccessful.
One of my biggest pain points in setting up an unfederated homeserver for my friend group was trying to figure out how to not have so much access as the server admin. I am nowhere near an expert at cybersecurity or cryptography or sysadmin things, but I had a strong sense of "I shouldn't be allowed to do this" - for example, when users had difficulty verifying their sessions, I was able to simply click a link in Element to "manually verify" the user on behalf of the entire encrypted group. This was several years ago and the verification flow seems to have improved since then, but that gave me some misgivings.

After selling my YC W20 startup, I carved out a niche of building MVP’s for other startups.

I was worried I wouldn’t be able to differentiate myself from race-to-the-bottom dev shops, but I’ve been making it work.

I have a ton of relevant experience around helping companies launch products 2-3 months ahead of schedule, which is really important when starting something new. Often times you only have a vague idea what your customers want, so you need to move quickly & validate what they need.
I always felt the Arduino IDE was lacking some features I would consider "basic" for any IDE. I'm glad to see they seem to be putting a lot more work into it lately. I think these features will improve usability tremendously.

When I was doing a lot more Arduino programming ~5 years ago I ended up using Visual Studio with some pretty good extensions. The Arduino "IDE" really felt more like a basic text editor with an upload button at the time.
Strafing was in Wolf3D too. In fact I think it was intended as the core mechanic for defeating the Episode 1 boss.
To be honest, I thought I saw it somewhere on Twitter but can't find it right now after a few minutes of search. It was proposed as a theoretical question, not as a statement -- like is AI so bad that if you had a time machine, it would be worth killing the pivotal people to prevent it. Terminator style.

I've modified my OP to clarify that.
YMMV, I run a startup that serves critical customer use cases, and from day 1 I had to care that my DB was HA, backed up, and could be restored. Actually had a case early on where we had to test this because I accidentally deleted customer data and had to restore - took all of one click, with no scripts, no prior investment into backup management etc. We also had to go through infosec reviews from day 1, and many of these are a must have. Doesn't matter if it's a small crew or large. Our customers care.

3 years fast forward with hundreds of customers, and we haven't had a need to hire someone full time to "manage" these services. This may/will change down the line, but I couldn't have built my business without one of these cloud vendors.

Edit: I also know the pain of building (and managing) this on bare metal (last company did that) - and it was just apache/php/mysql on bare metal. It was a mess

I'm not much better at this but I'll do my best. The Bank of England will create money to buy these long term bonds. Buying the bonds increases the demand and decreases their supply which causes the bond price to go up. An increase in bond prices makes the British Pound stronger because all of its existing bonds are now more valuable. Creating money to buy the bonds will increase inflation in the UK.

The rumor as to why this happened is that a few British pension funds were in jeopardy of needing to put up collateral, which means selling some of their existing bonds, in order to address margin calls. Pension funds selling their bonds would make the problem even worse, and that is why the Bank of England stepped in.

It isn't clear whether this is anything more than a band-aid on a much larger problem: the US continuing its war on inflation is causing the rest of the world's currencies to be devalued because many countries own US treasuries.

If you run your own homeserver and talk to people on homeservers you trust, that's fine. Now chances are that you talk to people who are not on your server, right?

I like Matrix a lot, but the way I use IRC: for public rooms. For private discussions, I use Signal Messenger, which seems to get e2ee right, and does clever stuff to reduce their access to metadata (pretty sure matrix homeservers have to know in which rooms I am to fetch my messages, right?)
So an effective antibiotic might be to either “unravel” the protein threads or “gunk” them up?
In my experience if the "what the company does" headline seems too trivial then you have to dig deeper to understand what they're really doing. Business at scale tends to have fractal-like complexity and a lot of the work goes into fighting entropy rather than building the really obvious customer-visible stuff. See also why Uber's app is almost 400MB or why Twitter has 7k employees. On the other hand Weyerhaeuser manages millions of acres of land on only around 2k employees. Always in the details.
This paper makes some excellent points, at least directionally - surely the important historical arguments will be representable in a more polished, accessible and condensed form today. And in cases where they aren't perhaps that's a good filter in its own right?

I just don't get why there is so much FUD when they haven't, as far as I've seen, done anything to warrant it.

I bought an LG C2 earlier this year. The ads are impossible to remove, but sufficiently avoidable that I do not regret the purchase.

There is an option to run as a dumb panel, but I haven't tried using it that way.

Setting the TV up normally requires accepting a disconcerting number of EULAs. You can choose to decline some individual terms at the cost of disabling features like voice recognition, but others are required.

The TV's home screen is rife with advertisements, mainly in the form of pre-loaded apps and mandatory content sections like "Top Picks for You" or "Sports Alert." The Verge has screenshots at https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/11/22223767/lg-webos-6-tv-so.... These cannot all be hidden or moved below the fold.

The home screen ads really bothered me when I first unboxed the TV. It was new, and I wanted to explore everything it could do. Once the novelty wore off and I stopped giving a damn about the smart features, it stopped being a problem. For example: you never have to see the home screen. If you're not hooked up to cable or an antenna, the TV boots into a screensaver (a Rothko-esque slideshow by default) from which you can summon an app switcher and jump directly to Netflix / YouTube / etc. This skips the home screen altogether, so you never see those ads. System menus are free from ads to the best of my recollection.

I remain vaguely concerned about background data collection and telemetry.
In my first years as design student I spent quite some time programming in the Arduino IDE because it worked pretty much out of the box plug-n-play.

Happy to see an integrated rich serial data plotter. One of my tricks used to be to do a: Serial.print(inputVal * 100 * "-") to get a basic visual 'chart' stream going to test sensor inputs and the like.
I have Z-Wave locks and have no problem having them as part of my smart home. The 4x Lithium AA batteries in them last over a year, they don't talk to a "cloud service", but instead a physical server that I have total control over, and you can still use an old-fashioned key to unlock them.

In your line of argumentation, if we enforced the ban on copying books, songs, movies perfectly, we would get much more of them.

Is this what we want though?

We are flooded with bad quality books, songs, movies, and it is hard to find something worth the time of a consumer who expects quality.

This flood of rubbish is apparently immensely profitable, even while all the copying is going on.

Why would high penalties for copying increase the average quality of production? There would be even more money in the business, attracting even more rubbish production.
