This isn't the situation Copilot is in.

A more analogous situation would be if the AI model occasionally returned the entirety of "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears. Yes, I think you'd be sued if you passed off Baby One More Time as an original work just because you got it from an open AI tool.
Generally CW mode (morse) can be transmitted farther on less power than most other modes, and can be sent and recieved without sophisticated electronics (build your own QRP rig for like $10).

But yeah, there's not a lot of utility, even in rare or hypothetical emergencies. Many other things one could focus on.

Not really, data source is way more important than form how it is delivered. Beatiful app with horrible forecast is useless, while horrible looking app with great forecast is still acceptable. Data source is the most improtant thing at weather app, which is why I won't even bother install some app which has for instance only inaccurate Open Weather data, no matter how good the app.
And the Window 7 fresh install conundrum, how do you install wifi drivers when your laptop only has wifi and no ethernet?

I also have a vague recollection of needing to install windows 98 from a floppy disk boot, then upgrading to windows XP as an upgrade, just because the bios didn’t support a cd-rom boot option. Fun times.
I don't think you actually considered the energies and timespans required (let alone the political will) to yeet a rock at an unseen planet on the other side of the galaxy.

At 1% the speed of light, it will take 10 million years just see if you hit anything on the other side of Milky Way. If you have to wait 10 million years, why do you even care? You'll be extinct, as will your target.

Even if you do decide chuck a dinosaur killing sized boulder (which, really is probably the smallest you'd want to use), you'd have expend 4.5 * 10^23 joules just to accelerate it. That's equivalent of all the solar radiation that hits the Earth over five days. That's a huge lift for even a supposed Kardashev I civilization. It's something more practical for a Kardashev II civilization. Although to be fair, the practical threshold is probably somewhere between I and II. And let's be clear here. If you're dismantling planets to build mirrors, you're Galacticus.

Anyway, how would the decision to throw a rock across the galaxy even work? A civilization obtains Kardashev II, and immediately starts looking for Kardashev Is or earlier, and starts tossing rocks at them, just in case they don't go extinct in 10 million years, and somehow don't also become a Kardashev II in the next 10 million years, because as soon as they do, they're going to hit you with a rock in 20 million years? To put that in perspective, 20 million years ago was when apes and monkeys split on the evolutionary tree. 10 million years ago was when humans and apes split. At this point, you might as well toss a rock at every planet that has a biosignature, because 10 million years is a long time. Better keep tossing rocks in that direction, in case something else evolves. Maybe you better toss a planet at it, just be sure. That's only 2.19 * 10^37 joules, or 200 years of the sun's output. Shit. You better be Kardashev III. Wait! We know there aren't any Kardashev IIIs in the observable universe! Double shit!

If this casually genocidal Kardashev II civilization exists on the far side of the Milky Way, and wanted kill humanity, they'd be looking at homo erectus. They'd have wait another 100,000 years just to get a radio signal, and then what? Throw the rock immediately, and hope that in the ensuing 10 million years humanity hasn't learned how to redirect a relativistic rock?
Or maybe they just threw the rock without even waiting for the radio signal, and it's on its way right now! Maybe the asteroid that hit 65 million years ago was a warning shot! Maybe they were trying to kill off a potential Silurian civilization before it even got really started, and ironically spawned us!

This strains credulity.

It is inexplicable how e scooters are treated like death machines in comparison to 4000 pound SUVs which get no restrictions.

Scooters have regulated speed, zones that are banned from use, reaction tests, sidewalk restrictions and on and on. You would think there were thousands of e scooter deaths per year.
It's useful in any situation where you're trying to make the most efficient use of the power available to you. The classic example is communicating with the other side of the world with minimal power, but it's also useful in any situation where there's a lot of path loss, like when HF propagation conditions to your desired station are terrible or if you're bouncing radio signals off the moon.

There are computer-based digital modes these days that accomplish the same or similar things like FT8 in terms of bandwidth efficiency allowing communication in situations where voice modes would not work. There's still a lot of stations still working in Morse code. If you're chasing DX (long range contacts), it is still very useful.

From a social perspective, using morse code instead of voice modes tends to filter out most of the political and health talk I try to avoid.
Agreed. I don’t really know what problem these i18n tools solve that this doesn’t.
It was a short hop from picking up Castle of the Winds II at a dollar store to finding out about resource editors and win32 when I wanted to edit the images. The game itself was from 1993, but this was in the late 90s/early 2000s when you could Google stuff like this and land on programming forums. And likely a post from someone else who wanted to do the same thing.

I still had to know about it. If I'd never found Rick Saada's experiment in win32 packaged as a game for a dollar, would I know about any of this? I wonder if the growing availability of the internet has closed the gap any.
I may be misinformed but my understanding of copyright is that it protects the 'expression' of something (like an algorithm or recipe) so someone can rewrite a copyrighted chunk of code into another language and be free of the original copyright, while also able to assert their own copyright on their new expression.

If that is true then one way to get around copyright restrictions on existing code is to create a new language.

Hrmmm... while your comment is intended in good faith, I think it actually does a disservice to open source.

I've seen plenty of terrible quality closed source projects and even some impressive high quality closed source projects that were still imperfect and open to human error.

I don't think we should have lower levels of scrutiny or expectations from open source projects. I do think the gp's criticism was exaggerated and unwarranted for any project, open or closed.

Ask HN: URL got turned into unblock.federalregister.gov – how?
So I went to make a post on https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/09/21/2022-20470/americans-with-disabilities-act-accessibility-guidelines-for-buildings-and-facilities-architectural

Americans With Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities; Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Guidelines; Self-Service Transaction Machines and Self-Service Kiosks

which is taking comments right now. And then I looked at it just a few minutes ago and it said it was a Dupe! I was surprised because it was pretty new. So then I looked at the url and it was https://unblock.federalregister.gov/ I really doubt I put that url in so? Does HN rewrite some urls we enter based on redirects from site? Just wondering, but it seems... weird.
So this is unusual to me, because flagging feels more open to abuse than the comment score. Indeed this very thing happened to me recently:

- user A says vaguely racist thing

- user B calls person out for racist thing

- user A cannot downvote a reply, so they flag it instead - making it disappear

So both can silence someone, but in one case many people need to disagree with someone and in the other you just need one person (or one person with an alt account if you want to go and revert a "vouch"). So if anything flagging is more prone to abuse than downvoting. I try to read greytext comments when I can and vouch whenever it looks unjust (and do something similar for downvoted posts) but from the looks of things not many people do.

edit: might as well include my example - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33164001

So I'd understand if I was downvoted and called out for my confrontational response to racism. Because at that point I'd reply that actually treating this kind of casual xenophobic comment as unserious and mocking the person is the most effective counter to this kind of behavious. Getting bogged down in debating the merits or worth of any individual person or where they might "belong" is exactly what this kind of person wants to do.
While an interesting take, it doesn't apply directly. In my opinion, the situation is more similar to search engines bringing you code snippets - they shouldn't be stripped of their original licenses. At least that's the legal framework we used to operate in.

Sure the legal framework can change, but such profound change will have surely many consequences we won't foresee, for good or bad.

> Another thing is the amplification: people pretending to be multiple people.

For a free speech absolutist curtailing this could also be seen as removing free speech.

> Lastly, we need some kind of spread management. We have the problem of BS getting huge traction and the correction getting no traction. Maybe everyone exposed to something should be re-exposed to the theme once there's a new development. For example, when people share someone's photo as a suspect and it turns out that the person in the photo is not the suspect, the platform can say "remember this Tweet? Yeah, there are some doubts about it. Just letting you know". The implementation of it wouldn't need a ministry of truth but a algo to track theme developments.

Still this wouldn't solve the issue with spread of BS, specially targeted BS: it is tailored to invoke and reinforce inherent biases and, on average, someone exposed to it will become less inclined to read/critically judge any rebuttal. Bullshit spreads much easier than well researched rebuttals, just by the nature of bullshit. It's a game where truth is bound to lose, no matter how many "algorithms" you implement to spread developments of a story to the same audience, the engagement of said audience to the rebuttals will vary depending on their biases. I'm not even including the required inherent drive and energy to actually follow-up, as an audience, on further developments, in the fast-paced world of social media people will selectively choose what to invest their energy into. Someone falling for bullshits won't want their effort to be thrown out by rebuttals and so will avoid such activities perceived as a waste of energy, after you formed an opinion it's much harder to un-form it.

I'm strictly in the camp that absolute free speech on social media is a fool's errand, at least in 2022. There is no upside to the massive downsides that we already see and experience, even in the scope of not existing with absolute free speech.

The detachment on social media between the written words vs the real humans behind those words causes a non-insignificant amount of grief that wouldn't happen in a in-person interaction. It seems that we humans easily lose our humanity when not in a real world social environment, the vileness is exaggerated while empathy is easily pushed aside.
Criticism is not the problem. The problem is when people stop at it.

I think Helm can be nice to template mildly complex stuff you cannot reach simply with Kustomize, but it's true there are lot of things you can't see until you apply them, even when `helm lint` doesn't fail.

If you need this templating, a think you can do is use helm for that but not for install/deployment: render the charts with `helm template` and then apply them with `kubectl apply` and/or verify the changes with `kubectl diff`.

IIRC Argo CD can show you the differences between the running helm chart and the new version you want to apply if you haven't enabled automated syncing, but I only use Argo CD with Kustomize, so I can't say for sure right now.

edit: by reading the article again I think the spirit of that point is not 'use just helm' but 'don't apply stuff directly'. Long term, if there's more than one person working in Kubernetes, that's prone to failure and configuration drift. Doing the templating in whatever language or system that fills your needs and then using something like Argo CD or Octopus to apply them can remove most of those problems.
Assuming you do two 40 hour jobs thats 80 hours a week, its easy to do this for a few months and think this is easy I can do this forever.

You might be able to work an 80 hour week consistently but your work may not be as consistent or capable. What happens when some one else on your team makes a mistake which requires you to work over time to make up the difference at which point where do you find the time on top of your 80 hour work week?

If you are able to consistently perform at that sort of level you can make more money by finding one job that pays more than two jobs.

Thank you very much for the nice commment! I like the double diamond process idea. Informative comments like this make me come back to hackernews.
I would say that the model that I have been working on is like a framework for both sides. From the few papers that exist about deliberative democracy, the idea is that with a well thought out and inclusive process of expansion on a particular subject, the collapse is essentially useless since its result will essentially confirm the outcome.
Polis seems to work quite well with the plurality of opinions but IMO, for the process to be inclusive and for malevolent participants to not hijack the conversation, there needs to exist a set of incentives and disincentives that will make citizens have an honest behavior towards the system.
Of course these types of conversations are what I live for so I sent you a message on Twitter :)
I think they’re getting at something closer to feature flags?
The unreliability can be weeded out, cross-examined, this is what science does basically. We ourselves are unreliable observers, but you can work with it if you manage to eliminate the biases. The classic double blind used widely in experiments would be an example of that. Airline pilots using checklists is another example.

As for the theories for consciousness science is dealing with the details of it, not whether it's information-processing or not, It's kind of a given that no magic is involved, because of how the brain works and because of how thermodynamics works, but also because of computers. A red door in a video game is also manipulated information. But the great thing about science is that it's not set on excluding magic, or rather some weird new science if it's required to explain things, but there is also no reason to speculate about it when it's not needed.
Regardless of what The Verge or the court system says, how can you trust a scientist that needs a lawsuit to defend their hypothesis?

I don't like this take.

It seems to be climate change denial. Implying that climate change isn't real, and even the "believers" are just playing silly games.

Fundamentally, atmospheric GHG emissions are fungible. Market based mechanisms to reduce them efficiently make sense.

I'd prefer if climate change denial didn't try to destroy our environment, our political establishments, science and basic economics. It's metastized from a short term con into an all out attack on human civilization.

I wasn't implying that more redistribution would create more altruistic citizens, but that a more redistributive society (or any departure from the status quo, really) might alter the behavioral incentives that exist today. The desire to "get ahead at all costs" doesn't exist because Americans simply love hard work and competition - it's a result of social + economic incentives. If you reduce the "cost" of not constantly striving (for example: improve the social safety net, the average American's work-life balance, etc.), those incentives shift.

We seem fairly well-insulated against the reality of the "Average American's" life here on HN, but it's not as comfortable as US GDP-per-capita might suggest. The way out of stressful financial insecurity, at least for most Americans, is the (necessarily) selfish pursuit of individual advancement. Likely no one will fault a low-level employee competing for a promotion that would enable them to afford a more reliable car, however Machiavellian their approach, but those same tendencies will look very different when exhibited by someone with a 9-figure net worth.

I don't think today's "greedy assholes" are anything more than people responding to existing incentives. You want fewer greedy assholes? De-incentivize being a greedy asshole.

I tried watching Seinfeld in the 90s and did not care for it. Some think it's because my English or cultural awareness weren't there yet and it's possible - as observational humour it does live within the gestalt of its time and culture.

However, other possibility for Seinfeld show specifically is the characters - there's not a single likeable, redeemable person that I remember. In principle there's humour that can be made based on trials and tribulations of unlikeable folks but it's not for me. There was never progress, awareness, nicety. I'm not saying I need to watch Brady Bunch, but I personally found 22 minutes of concentrated selfish pettiness tiring.

(I do "emotionally empathize" with tv characters more than perhaps average viewer regardless of genre so that may be to blame)
