> Have this ever happen in history before? How bad can something be that users go out in the street to demostrate?

We used to have this in Ukraine but the war successfully halted all the strikes. To tell shortly, any shop which sells anything must report on any buying to the authority. This is kinda stupid because if you are selling something on weight, you need to jongle with too many devices: a weight-meter to weight (it can accept a cost of something being weighted), then a calc to sum if number of goods is more than 1, then a laptop to fill a message to an authority, then a terminal to let client pay with card. The programs the authority gives us just can not deal with goods which are selling on weight, so we are cheating them kind of I can not tell the government that I have sold a one kilogram of rice for ₴60 but I can tell that I sold 60 candies each per ₴1 (the fact that ₴60 is going to my bank account is definitely visible by thems and this number requires to be grounded). Imagine a girl who do not like to be a technician and she goes to be a seller in a grocery shop, and what she gets today? A lot of typing job. Guess how many seller girls in Ukraine can touchtype if there are no mandatory touchtype lessons in our school even now.

And do you know what the laptops are doing in Ukrainian grocery shops? They are running an account software in browser.

Older generations have not been asked to replace their expensive tech every 3 years. My grandparents bought one phone and one TV set and kept them for the rest of their lifes. Something is wrong with today's tech and not with the elderly people who are not able to adapt as fast as zoomers.
Some corrections:

Edison invented the 35mm standard that with a few small changes still lives on, not Kodak.

120 doesn’t refer to the width of the film, it’s an arbitrary numbering Kodak invented along with a huge number of others that didn’t survive. It is 61mm wide in its current form.

IMAX does have sprocket holes as it’s 65mm film but runs horizontally as you say for a larger frame size.

Kodak loved non-standard film sizes because it meant they had a monopoly on producing it, to more and less success (look at disc film for one example).

A method similar to that should certainly be introduced for triggering recall elections of individual MPs (possibly with a condition that the expense of the by-election be covered by crowd-funding).

To your point, though, there is "a way for the people to request an election anytime", and it has been used already, to little effect:

This is exactly the answer I was looking for, thank you. This TI chip draws a little more power during computing than a calculator solar panel would provide, but it could easily work if it stayed in sleep mode part of the time.
There's the thing about how pulling an all-brighter to get something done before the deadline should have gone out the window after high school, which I guess is what's referred to? But this is just Thorvaldsen trying to encourage a healthy and sustainable process for himself and others, the title posted here is ridiculously editorialised click-bait.
I've fixed the links, thanks!

I wrote it from my notebook sorry for the errors.
as Joachim mentioned; and as i thought i replied already - all sensors have enough noise to be entropy sources. If you can quiesce a sensor - by putting it in a chamber that reduces whatever it senses, or otherwise reducing the input, you can grab "noise". MEMS sensors are notorious for being "noisy", and should always be looked at for cheap entropy sources. Followed by webcams in black chambers, webcams with a single photon source in a reflective chamber, anything that can pick up any RF whatsoever (including ADCs with signal and a resistor or inductor to ground), and so on up to thermals, Geiger detectors, avalanche silicon circuits, and beyond.

But that part of the argument is far more nebulous and bullshitty than the copyright argument. The idea that copilot is killing any substantial open-source project just isn't true right now. Copilot doesn't generate libraries worth of functionality, it generates small functions or less. Open-source projects remain as important as they were before copilot.
Possibly, yes, although many SPA sites seem to hit for updates every (visual) page change anyway, to get the latest results. It's rare that a UI will hold all the records to count locally, unless it's a small and slow-changing data set, so it's asking for a count whether or not it's getting it wrapped in HTML or JSON.
The local council can just give poor people money, then they can pay Uber (or buy bread or beer, if they need it more).
Redacted's ratio economy is fucked. There's groups of people using high speed seedboxes that grab every new upload to build up ratio in a normal way, if you can call it that.

Everyone else is left with scraps, trickling data out to whoever comes later. Or maybe you get lucky and you're the lone seeder, you get a 1:1 copy. You just better hope that was on a 24-Bit FLAC release, given how big they can get.

There's many many threads on https://old.reddit.com/r/trackers about REDs economy problems. OPS has a bonus point system and suffers less, but has worse content than RED. My opinion only though

rutracker is all about putting content out there. A lot of stuff is mislabelled or lower quality, less retention, identified wrong, seeded slowly. But you can sure find a lot of oddities there.

> was any data lost

yes, absolutely. I've hundreds of albums not on RED, and I can't bother to reupload them. it's a total waste of time when you know they're unseeded in a week if not for me hanging on.

time better spent finding new music and sharing everything on soulseek instead.
My guess is if you pick the domain first you will find the companies that hire. Pick growing domains like cloud, data centers, shipping, ecommerce, digitalization. They can't grow without hiring.

He doesn't say this directly, but I suppose his comment here:

"The whole 'do an all-nighter to get the paper in the day before the dealine' is something that should have gone out the window after highschool. Not for kernel development."

is making an explicit comparison to the behaviour of young adults (namely: poor time management, crunching for deadlines by staying up late). I agree with you that it's a poor editorialisation and makes it seem like Linus is being harsher than he really is in his writing.

"if we hand over modern smartphones to the average 2002 computer person, they would have no idea how to use it"

You might have to go back to the early 90s for that, we had PocketPC and Palm and Symbian in the 00's... The change since 2002 has been incremental, I think 2002 me would find today's Android similar but faster and simpler - and today's iOS equally as confusing as 2022 me finds it.

I think VR is still in the PocketPC stage, where early adopters think it's great but most people don't need it or want it, it's expensive and/or clunky. It might catch on in 20 years when someone has another go with much better tech.

Devs: if you're not afraid of learning something new, check out application security. It's a niche withing the infosec space and needs people who actually know what they're doing/talking about.
Thanks for letting me know what I think? And we're all aware of Telegram shortcomings here, it was an example and correct me if im wrong but this thread is about Signal?

I explained how imo Signal has burned the goodwill of a some of its early adopters. Meaning not recommending it to my friends and buying my mom an iPhone. Now there's an argument to be made that it's not very smart to dismiss the app, but that's what happened.

I'd be very surprised if they manage to salvage its image at this point

could this be solved by MS brute-force shipping all the licenses (w/ references to their original projects) of all the repos they used to train to copilot along with copilot itself?

it wouldn't cover cases where people illegally copy pasted some code into their projects with dubious / not explicit licenses, but this is the same as using any open source project in general.

Having been part of multiple gaming communities where the game was destroyed by the developers with updates the community told them would not work, were bad for the gameplay or just plain out of scope (not wrt to monetization, just gameplay elements or mechanics) and them pushing on, mostly either ridiculing, ignoring or even insulting said players, this sounds like a dream.
Results were basically the same. The death of 90% of the enthusiast community in mere months.

I’m not even 30 yet and I’ve seen this happen again and again - it’s frankly boring at this point. We’ve seen this with Spotify and music, newspapers and the internet etc.

The practical truth is that Copilot is a useful tool for humanity to have. It is exceedingly unlikely it will be stopped because a small percentage of programmers - themselves a small percentage of people who benefit from code - feel their interests have been hurt. Change or get left behind (but make sure to enrich some lawyers on a pointless suit in the meantime).

You actually just convinced me of the exact opposite.

Because copilots "use" of the works _was_ the learning.

So it would seem to me that Microsoft needs to apply "fair use" to copy and redistribute _the entire works_ they used for training.

In which case lack of fair use my well be the least of their problems, they are really crossing into Computer Fraud and Abuse Act territory similar to when Aaron Swartz "borrowed" MITs data.

It can happen in countries where life is very peaceful, people have a lot of time, and where people are so accustomed to be in their comfort zone that any change feels like a danger to them.

> Oh, so there's people that don't know how to use containers, so they're bad? What kind of patronising, nanny state kind of argument is that?

You're building rest of your comment on this misinterpretation of my comment.

What I say is "Docker is easy, but it lowers the bar for making mistakes too much. Using Docker without enough information creates bigger problems, faster".

You can do a lot of mistakes, and fatal ones at that, while working on bare metal too. I'm managing systems for 15+ years, using Linux close to 20, and had my fair share on any abstraction level (metal, VM, container, etc.).

However, K8S and Docker is susceptible to create a whole set of problems, and more importantly without knowing it, until it's too late. VMs and bare metal fail relatively early and with more noise. If you do something wrong with your K8S deployment, you can't mend it, and need to re-deploy it.

I do not prefer Docker and K8S, and avoid the latter if I can, but I'm not an hard-line extremist against any of them. I also manage containers and a K8S cluster at work, too.

And no, I never patronize anyone. This is not my style. I just shared my experience, and told that "learning wrong things is easier with Docker", that's all.

I know excellent developers and sysadmins who do wonders with containers, too. Docker and K8S are sharp knives with no warnings on them. That's all.
I’m glad someone else called this out.

Satoshi Nakamoto used 2 spaces after a period.
You are right, it is what I did when I was working on a planetary rendering system. Drawing a plane would happen far from the Earth origin, and it would show in the shader computations especially specular highlights.
The new origin was at the Earth surface I think.
However it's not trivial, all shaders need to change, and having things in world space is useful in your shaders. And now eg. you need to convert light positions into that local space.
So likely it wouldn't make sense in the context of Godot.
Ruby uses closed form - which is a good design, but it doesn't have a separator between the condition and the "then" clause - which is IMO bad.

Ask HN: Safely execute user-provided Java code?
Hi HN,

I'm developing a multiplayer, physics-based simulation game each player has to provide the code for an agent whose goal is to survive in the given environment and eventually reproduce to ensure its survival. The simulation is shared among all players and runs on the server, written in Java, while it is streamed to a web front-end (looks like this https://imgur.com/a/ZBl6SAu).

For these reasons, I need to accept code from users that has to be run in the same process as the one running the simulation. The code is not completely arbitrary:

* The user has to define a well-specified set of methods like update (what to do at every simulation step), beginContact (what to do when colliding with another object), etc...
* I want to only allow access to a limited set of Java features; I've read that a SecurityManager can be used to only allow access to a subset of packages, but I'm not sure if this is compatible with running in the same process.

Is there a way to do this safely? There are a lot of exploits that I'm not sure it's possible and I'd like to hear opinions on how to eventually set this up.
You are an outlier which sure exist, but just look at examples where it is provided. Always surprised to see so many people (including juveniles from age of 6 or latest 8 without adults, til far beyond 60 or 70) bicycling around here, so many that I often get overrun while walking around daily for usually 30-60 minutes a day (which I also didn't do as much prior moving here), its amazing.
(from one of the green districts in Berlin, where walkable neighborhood is far from complete and too many cars around still, really wonder what it could be like in fully designed districts).

Just providing it has a huge impact on a lot of "maybe" people and I think practice proofs this is not backwards thought at all. Not guaranteed, but a huge impact on most, nothing is binary as always.

> In contrast, I bike over 1000 miles a year and walk several times a week. Yet I am not in a walk-able mixed use neighborhood nor have any interest in living in one.

So really like to know, why is that. I can only imagine you are living rural, and now wouldn't understand why anyone living in a dense city would want to have it different.

If you'd like to know more about the complex details of the role that the monarch could play in deciding the next PM (without an election), I recommend reading about the Lascelles Principles.[0]

You should particularly note one line from that article: "The convention was in abeyance from 2011 to 2022, ... these principles are thought to have been revived." (emphasis mine).

Basically, the UK's creaky, uncodified, thousand-year old constitution doesn't actually allow legal experts (much less the public) to know for sure whether these hugely consequential principles even exist any more.

If this becomes illegal, it will pretty much mark the death of free/open ML and its sets.

And it's good for everyone down the line, because the good being produced becomes more affordable and better. It might be hard to zoom out from these current times when we can expect continual progress, but this is one of the only reasons why anything ever gets better.

I'm from the UK, and we used to make motorbikes. They got - correctly - outcompeted by Japanese bikes in the 1950s that were built with more modern investment and tooling. If Japan hadn't done that, we'd have more motorcycle jobs in the UK, and terrible motorcycles that still leaked oil because the seam of the crankcase would still be vertical and not horizontal.

I'm not saying anything about this process is perfect and pain-free, but it seems that a lot of the things we have now are because of processes like this. Should Tesla sell through dealerships instead of direct to consumers? I think the answer is, "Tesla should do what's best for its customers", and not "Tesla should act to keep dealership jobs and not worry about what's best for its customers."

Businesses exist for their customers and not their employees, and having just been part of a business that, shall we say, radically downsized, I've seen a little of the pain of that. Thankfully it was a high tech business, and as the best employment protection is other employers, and there are loads of employers wanting tech skills I've seen my great colleagues all get new jobs. But I think it's ultimately disempowering to think of your employer like a superior when it should feel like an equal whose goals happen to coincide with yours for a while.
These articles use far more cautious language than you suggest and if they don't everyone working in the field is hopefully aware that such claims are the academic equivalent of clickbait at best.
If they really don't think that they need to comply with any license, then why not include all private repos in the training set? Could it be that they're worried about legal repercussions, whereas OSS is easier to (ab)use for this purpose because there's much less legal muscle behind it?

It is also very telling that they have not included any of their own proprietary code in the training set. If it's merely suggestions that are generated, why not also train on the NT kernel? Office?

Yes. Even made job-related tools in it, and was looking forward to perl 6 as a fix-it-all version. There is no value in %<${, and it could look like

let author = {}
for (let line in stdin.lines()) {
if (not line.m(/…/)) next
let [l, r] = line.split('=', 2)
author[l] = r.split('|', 2)
}

The key feature of perl is basically inline regexps. Everything else is an unnecessary noise. qx{…} -> sh("…"), bless -> class, etc. I loved perl and still know it, but haven’t written a single line in 17 years because there was no reason.
