I think we disagree on too many points.

Fundementally we disagre about rights. I think all within a country is owned by that country. That could be gem stones or antiquities.

I don't think invading a country gives you ownership over their belongings but you seem to wrt the British Empire. No more than Russias claims to Ukrainian grain.

I think Egyptians are capable of making decisions about their national belongings themselves and they have decided that they are better guardians than Brits. Inexplicably you seem to think they can not make this decision.

Ultimately you're view that British stole from 19th century Egyptians antiquities and now they belong to Britain is simply might is right thinking.

The idea that Brits are better caretakers of these items is not dissimilar original justification. Africans are too barbarous to look after their own assets.

What do you think of the Benin Bronzes. For me they are essentially similar morally. I suppose you'd say it was wrong to take them, but they looked after them, and now they shouldn't be returned?

Totally agree that k8s is great, and that it needs deeper coupling to specific common app patterns to be more useful to devs (as opposed to platform teams). IMO a new layer of abstraction above k8s is the right approach, for a variety of reasons. We’re trying to build it at withcoherence.com, please check out our early MVP!

The biggest privacy impact is just vendors putting bonkers things in the User-Agent string by choice. Mobile browser vendors in particular put all sort of things in there: the device model is pretty much standard for no good reason in particular, but you also see very specific OS build versions, device settings, and the like. Some Android vendors in particular are real bad about this.

I have no expectation that will stop no matter what we do with the tech. They made the decision to stuff it in there for whatever reason and will find somewhere else to stuff it.

> UA strings need to be solved

At this point, just getting the browser name and system name out of a User-Agent string is not as hard as it's sometimes made out to be; things could probably be simplified a bit (does Chrome really need to send "KHTML like Gecko"? Probably not), and vendors could choose to send less information (like Firefox already does, and has for many years).

I mean, it's a bit more messy than it needs to be; removing the "Mozilla/5.0" that every browser sends probably will break some things as it's a bad but quick and surprisingly effective way to check if a browser is a bot, but ... is it really that big of a deal that every browser sends that? Is it really worth the effort replacing that?
Obviously they are although I often think many modern conspiracy theories are just an extremely poor attempt of story telling actual problems.

At that point in time as Sadam had just used WMDs against the Kurds and many observes thought it likely he had not all of a sudden stopped having them. That no one found any WMDs later on does not make reporting what intelligence agencies said at the time “lying”.

You're not even approaching what would be considered a scientific and somewhat useful study.

You can move away from a platform without a complete stop. I've seen people who used to post on Facebook on a daily basis claim to leave, and then they use the platform less and less until you rarely see them. What also matters is the nature of their posts. If people who used to put effort into thoughtful engaging posts start to post trivial and unengaging content, that has a similar effect to no longer using the platform.

If this happens in large numbers, it would of course impact your advertising revenue.

GoogleTest (C++) and Go's built-in testing framework both support non-fatal assertions.

They're used for code like this:

assert_eq(list.len(), 1)
expect_eq(list[0].username, "jdoe")
expect_eq(list[0].uid, 1000)

The idea being that if multiple properties are incorrect, then all of them will be printed out to the test log.

English has inconsistent spelling and pronunciation because it is a pigeon language, a mix of various Anglo-Saxon, Norse, Celtic, Dutch, and Norman French, then later with a lot of Latin and Greek words added.

The grammar is simpler (no gender and fewer inflections), but it has more phonemes than most other Indo-European languages, and has one of the largest vocabularies.

> I can see how shadowbanning ("bot-bans")is effective against bot accounts, since it's less trivial for a bot maker to write code that detects when their bot has been detected, resulting in a lower rate of new bot accounts.

Huh? It's trivial to write code that detects shadow bans, and bot-makers are more likely to write such code than individuals who get shadow banned. I mention this at 28:00 in the linked video on this post.

The fuss over bots makes no sense to me. It's just an excuse to build more dystopian shadow removal or shadow demotion tools. Bot or not, some human is behind the pushing of every single piece of content you see. There is no AGI, and therefore machine-learning-driven algorithms are trained on data that comes from humans.

Show HN: Stable Diffusion print-on-demand apparel
Hey HN,

Obviously we are experiencing a surge of stable-diffusion based apps at the moment, but I have yet to see anyone try and map the outputs onto actual physical products that can be delivered to your door.

I wanted to make it easy to:

- pick an artistic style

- hit 'record' and speak into your phone / tablet / desktop or whatever, and describe the kind of design you want your clothing to have (since speaking is more spontaneous that typing)

- swipe among a variety of mockups (t-shirts, hoodies etc.) featuring your design, and order it to your door with the click of a button

The product is called 1SEWN. Fulfilment is currently achieved using a print-on-demand service called Printful (https://www.printful.com) that I have integrated with.

If you guys would like to try it, I would love some feedback. Shipping is currently limited to outside Europe, but even if you are in Europe, your feedback about the whole UX would be much appreciated!

Much love,

Matt
No it's not. If my current boss is talking German fast enough, I can barely understand. Whenever he's talking with the legal team he's using German. This is a clear indication to me that my participation is unneeded (altough I do communicate with our lawyers on variety of subjects). Moreover, I think overhearing other people's conversations is impolite.
They barely run anything in the cloud, they’ve been operating their own data centers & infrastructure for over a decade. So they’re doing the same thing as Meta.
> They live in the UK, and maybe spend time online

I think "maybe" drastically undersells the amount of time and things some people do online (generally the younger generations).

You're also overlooking that a very large portion of daily life has moved online and it's important to protect that. Everything from buying groceries, booking doctors appointments to looking up the menu of local restaurants.

I'd want all my personal and payment details protected, and it's reassuring to know information I'm reviewing hasn't been maliciously tampered with.
> science is not democratic

I strongly disagree, it's inherently democratic. The scientific method is all about making mistakes and trying again. Discourse is all about sharing knowledge. Open societies do this effectively.

It might. What would happen then? I'd argue there'd be a lot of good discussion.

The reason people don't think it's possible to change people's minds over the last 7-8 years is because during this whole period you didn't know about shadow moderation.

Watch the linked talk, look at the examples. Deception is being crowdsourced and it is happening across every ideology, geography, and on every major platform.

> Their business should be providing the platform

That's not how capitalism works. Their business should be doing whatever they think will generate the most long term profit for the owners. It's an advertising platform. Advertisers don't want a platform where users get to decide what the truth is. Advertisers don't want their advertisement next to some anti-vaxxer nutjob or a vocal racist. This is common sense.
The chromatic scale is an artificial construction, a compromise to allow some instruments to play the diatonic scale i different keys.
It's very easy to take these circumstances and give it a different spin. How about individuals are more receptive to ideas from their peers. In college they are exposed to more political ideologies, and they adopt the best ones, which happen to be "pro-Democrat." I don't actually know the mechanism, or if any of this is true, all I'm trying to point out is your framing is going to adjust the way you view the outcome. The way you frame this ("counterbalance this pro-Democrat conditioning") comes off as anti-democratic (political system, not party), and I'm really curious what your opinion is about social media that labels Republican disinformation (for example, birtherism, the 2020 election was stolen, etc.) because there has been a lot of research done to show social media amplifies those messages more than ones from the left. Does that require counterbalancing?

> They buy transit at some higher priced and fixed (10 Gb/s or whatever) and resell it to users at advertised speeds that are a major fraction of whatever the local uplink is.

Globally, downstream video makes up 57% of bandwidth usage:

* https://www.ncta.com/whats-new/new-study-examines-internet-t...

Given that most high bandwidth usage is for video, the cost of transit/uplink doesn't matter as long as you (a) have a Netflix CDN appliance (or three) on your network, and (b) you peer with Youtube/Google at your local IXP. And most IXPs also have most cloud providers peering as well, so a lot of online stuff will be caught by that.

Looking at TorIX, my local IXP in Toronto, Canada, and sorting by bandwidth of the connection, we have (selectively) Akamai, CloudFlare, Facebook, Fastly, Amazon, Blizzard, Google, Limelight, and Microsoft all with 100Gb/s or more (and often redundant):

* https://www.torix.ca/peers/

Transit is for reaching the wider Internet, which I think is the minority of traffic.

So as long as you have a dark fibre connection to your local IXP(s), which is a fixed cost, I don't think peering/transit costs matter that much.
Notably yesterday a birdwatcher added a note to one of Elon's tweets, and then later the explanation was removed. They do use opaque algorithms that take other birdwatchers' feedback and decide whether to keep a note. Of course, many immediately suspected Elon had it manually removed.

Regardless of whether he actually did it I think this is a fatal flaw that will prevent birdwatch from ever being trusted.

Additional to what has been posted already, the shape of the lines (which ultimately will result in transistors) is defined by manufactured patterns on quartz glass photomasks[1]. AFAIK a modern processor design has a stack of around 40-60 masks placed in sequence for the light to pass through.
Producing these photomasks follows a similar manufacturing process from a lithography POV, except that electron-beams[2] are used instead of a light source. The mask manufacturing process requires its own specialized machines and Intel owns companies that produce those, eg. IMS Nanofabrication[3].

Could you cite this. I'm not saying you are a liar pushing misinformation, but it's fair and important that you link the proof I think.

For instance we know Keith Coleman wasn't sacked and Musk said the project is awesome https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1587798343622737925 so your fact is surprising.
