> I thought "creating cancer" is a pretty good description of the idea that one embeds a whole f*ing JavaScript runtime

wasm is not a javascript runtime.

> and accept a 10x performance decrease on runtime

Unless SIMD is involved (which is indeed a major issue around warm), the overhead of compiled wasm is generally observed below 50%, often closer to 15.

Obviously if you're using a wasm interpreter all bets are off.
I don't care about legality, I'm not a judge or in the law enforcement. Was he wronged? Yes. Did he wronged the people who supported him in an attempt to get back to people wronged him? Yes. Well, then it's up to him and his remaining supporters to pursue justice. I don't care as long as he doesn't do more harm to me.
Autocompletion is another thing I don't like about it. The way bash does it is consistent with how other older shells did it. I can get over the weirdness but another annoyance there is having to hit the right arrow instead of tab or shift+tab.

It also didn't preserve bash's builtin functions which just means I have to learn its functions but when in a bind I just fire up bash and use it instead. The popularity of bash means scripts I write will almost always be for it as well, not gonna ask others to switch to zsh to run my scripts.

That said your points are very good. Like I said initially, I wish there was a script to fix all these annoyances, like a sibling comment mentioned how to fix the ! command recall.
>The major issue is that if a whistleblower takes side, its no longer whistleblowing but espionage

What? So if I'm an employee of the DNC, and I want to blow the whistle on what I see by leaking documents, I need to somehow get the corresponding RNC documents or else I'm a spy?

This viewpoint makes no sense. Maybe you're calling Wikileaks the whistleblower, but they really can't be considered one.
What happens if we don't "fund the internet"? What if we let projects with genuine usefulness flourish on their own, being funded directly by those who want them to exist, and we let the advertisement-funded internet fall by its own weight?

Just like advertisement tricks you into buying things you don't need, the advertisement-funded internet tricks you into paying attention to things you don't care about. We're better off without.
Well, you are not trying to operate heavy machinery with Amazon Echo - hopefully. Voice as a common interface - I agree with all of that, but to me the everyday utility of being able to add something to my shopping list or my TODO list without having to fire up an APP greatly increases my quality of life. That part is magical, but I don't expect a lot more from it.
care and motorbikes are much worse
I’m Indian, moved a decade to the states and back in india for family reasons. I also love Tokyo Story. I’m not sure I learned anything profound from the article, it’s more like a superficial recollection of observations about family and different cultures maybe?

I’m sure Germany is different from the States, so I’m not gonna say I’m an expert at German culture, but suffice to say that beneath the surface of whatever tapestry familial dynamics take in each culture, in the end there’s both rotten and good aspects to each family, often precipitated by the vagaries of human nature.

The more I travel and experience new places and cultures, the more I realize absolutely nothing is that different in a fundamental level. By my estimation 80% of all people are fundamentally capable of great evil in the right circumstances, and no religion or family dynamic changes that, it can just successfully suppress it at best. The two great countries described in the article are also coincidentally the two countries attributed with some of the greatest atrocities in “developed world” history, for whatever that’s worth.

A mother in law sending a tomato plant every year is no more or less loving than a mother who meets their son once a year for thanksgiving, or a grandma eagerly FaceTiming her grandkids across the world every weekend barely able to understand their fast American English. In the end, all we could wish for is a world where everyone minds their own business, forms whatever friends with whomever they want, and live and love they wish to without prejudice. That’s probably the best deal we can get from this world.
I'd say my baby preferred me playing around with my phone than speaking up. Doubly so when they were carried around sleeping.
Retro Games Powered by WASM. MS-DOS, Atari Neo Geo and More
I've done exactly that in my early 30s. Bootstrapped, then raised a couple of rounds, couldn't raise again so went back to bootstrap mode, but ultimately failed. It was a rough period, but I survived to thrive as a senior in a FAANG nowadays. My marriage survived too and is better than ever.

Before I started my wife and I calculated by how much we can reduce our spending and figured that between her salary and our savings we could go on for about a year while maintaining an acceptable quality of life (for us) and not going into debt.
While I was going through this her pay went up significantly (and unexpectedly), which allowed me to extend my personal runway.
In the end, after ~four years, we were left with no savings at all and I had to take a job I didn't like because I had to start bringing money in. That was fine - I quit after a short while for a much better job.
So the key was planning ahead financially and agreeing in advance on the limits: minimum standard of living we won't go below, and not going into debt. This proved very important in hindsight because it marked when I had to stop trying - I never wanted to give up, but had I continued, I would have jeopardized the most important things in life.

Another point about the marriage: my wife and I are together in this journey called life and support each other's hopes and dreams. I paid most of our bills while she was going through her PhD, then she did (plus we spent our savings) while I was doing the startup. Now I'm doing well, so she took a partial leave while she's pursuing hobbies and trying to figure out the next step in her career.
Some people deserve to read “what the fuck is this” about what they did.
I think the best use cases for voice assistants are when you don’t have free hands. I have two scenarios where I use voice assistants: setting a timer while cooking and changing the music while showering. Both could be done by other means as well but they wouldn‘t be more convenient.
I have a cheap UV-C lamp that I purchased from ebay. Aside from the danger to your skin and eyes, after running for a few minutes there will be a distinct ozone smell in the room. Once I keept it on for a few hours in a small room (windows and door closed, no people inside). The ozone smell was still there after one week. So at least the lamp that I own would not be suitable for killing virii in indoor environments, unless there is an easy way to convert the ozone back to O2.
We had a family friend that everyone knew was a spook. If you asked him his job, he'd say he was "attached to the Foreign Office".
I don't mean literally Claire and Vladimir are "the same" but they certainly learned similar lessons about polemic, argument and behaviour to an outcome. The revolutionary left in Britain from my personal perspective was a very odd power trip between the groups, as well as against the state. The RCP was an offshoot of the WRP which Vanessa and Corin Redgrave were in and probably loathed the SWP and the other 4th international splitting groups.

I have a diagram remarkably like the UNIX family tree about the complex splits and mergers since the 1940s. Winding up in the Tory party.. unexpected but once you see it, sort of .. "yeah"
My hot take is this is the start of vastly (better/worse) surveillance- that can be a force for good or bad. Let's start with business meetings - the tech is close enough to be able to record, transcribe and summarise all decisions and action points - which sounds great and may get put into place. Then it can assess how well a manager was "coaching" the meeting - getting appropriate feedback from all participants - then were all necessary participants there ? Then we can see training sessions geared specifically towards manager A and their problem in encouraging positive performance from their team with vague goals.

Wouldn't we all like better managers with clearer goals?

Roll this out to a doctors bedside manner, or the mistaken command given to a nurse that was a perhaps misheard and the wrong medicine given

or ...

We can surveil all our waking lives - and almost the only thing social sciences get right is large population statistics- we can find out who leads happiest best lives and be taught how to do it better.

Or we can stomp out individuality and live on a totalitarian nightmare.

But we don't get to not play the game
Sorry, coming back to this late, but in the hope that you see it, I haven't visited the doctor _because_ it was expensive. Sure, I'm also young and it probably wasn't really necessary, but there were definitely a couple of instances I can remember from the last decade that I didn't go to the doctor until I thought I had no other choice.

I'm willing to pay a little more in the long term to have the peace of mind that I can go to the doctor for something less than an emergency and not face financial hardship. In the US, one doctors visit can easily cost more than 10 years of bills in a European nation, and it doesn't even have to be serious! A broken leg isn't life threatening, but it could break you financially if you aren't ready and able to shell out your high deductible.
It seems to be that $100B spent by NSA on offensive operations will reap far greater security benefits than spending $100B “to make American companies more (cyber)secure”.

Knowing what your adversaries are up to is invaluable.
What’s not quite clear from the wiki page: was Yahoo too early? With the related tools on the page being so successful it seems that way.
Do you think the same people who call a question an “ask” have any problems calling a published thing a “publish”?
you can do the same type of work with spark, which is free
It's quite funny that none of the things you mention involve shopping, or any activity that would bring revenue to the voice assistant provider.
and that of the "Tell HN:" posts
It's not the technology. Voice transcription works great, and from the point of view of extracting meaning, even pattern matching would do better than the embarassing failure of today's voice assistants. It's a matter of product. We are living in an IT world where there are no great people able to turn the technological potential into useful things.
> Seems like this will get many people a love letter from their ISP.

Many countries just don't care. A few EU ones and USA might, but once you go into slightly poorer territories, noone cares about foreign copyright.

So, treat it like you would treat seeding a pirate bittorrent.
I was hoping they could still give EVs a few billion and have left over for the trains.

Too down planning failed a lot in the past but then again they didn't have high speed internet wich solves the communication+agility issues at the core of the failure. Not gonna happen in the US though.
Of course NSA prioritises offense when it provides a vastly greater RoI.
I guess the elephant in the room is that you're not paying the authors for what they created; in this sense it's like "stealing". Someone spends time and resources making something and you use that something without compensating that someone. I agree it's not exactly like stealing (that's why we invented a different word for it), bt ut's still something that is unfair to the book author(s).
The free market gives people what they value and, ultimately, what they deserve.
Your logic here doesn't really make sense.

I'm sure the far-right accuses Jews of those, and many other things. But that (obviously) doesn't mean we can't be critical of those things.

And if you say that criticizing those things is being an antisemite, aren't you just implicitly endorsing the far-right theories you just denounced? I mean, we should be able to criticize mass immigration, or international trade agreements, globalism, etc. regardless of who supports those ideas, but especially if jews aren't even involved then what's the harm? (Note that jews being involved still would not change the fact that we should obviously be able to agree or disagree with, and criticize any political idea, policy, theory or ideology).

For me, criticizing globalism is not that different from criticizing imperialism, since (at least IMHO) globalism, and more specifically global governance, is a form of imperialism. One of the best-known critic of globalization is Noam Chomsky, who happens to be Jewish (but, again, that is completely incidental and not really relevant to what he thinks).
> 3. A locked hard case like a pelican case that fits within the carry-on size requirements and is well used will look a lot less suspicious than a bunch of laptops in a backpack.

Interesting. Why is that? I have a personal laptop, a work laptop and a very old laptop that I play with (e.g., changing ram, adapting ports, multiple operating systems, etc.) If I ever move to another country I would need to pack my 3 laptops with me in my backpack. Would that look suspicious?
Yahoo Pipes was awesome and born from the dream of an open web with open protocols and APIs. It was sad that this vision died and we ended up with so many closed "walled gardens".

I hope we see a resurgence of this ideal, the recent expanse and interest in Mastodon, the Fediverse, and ActivityPub give me hope.

Matt Mullenweg has committed to adding ActivityPub to Tumblr [0], if others in the established web ecosystem also make such moves maybe this will happen!

I think in this case a wisely picked VPN likely offers more than "good enough" protection.
Speaking to a voice assistant is like speaking to a toddler. They have limited vocabulary, limited comprehension and limited ability to perform what you’ve asked them. The only difference is that a toddler stops being a toddler after a year or so, while voice assistants stay perpetually dumb.
Voice assistants have reached the Unhelpful Valley stage.

When they were a novelty I recall the excitement of trying new commands and layering in context, after many failures I've been conditioned to now only attempt and expect success with generic queries.
If the pro-independence parties vote to hold one “anyway”, the pro-union parties have said they won’t cooperate, doing so specifically to delegitimize the result as representing the will of all the people.

That said, I agree with you.
The left likes to vilify the practices of the IMF, BlackRock and GoldmanSachs. Is that also a "too obvious anti-Semitic [dog]whistle"? Or does that only apply to those evil people on the right?
Right, but changes in some other code potentially silently breaking assumptions at the calling site is exactly why you would want an assert like this in the first place.
Piracy is a misnomer used to make people feel like unauthorized copying is "stealing", since "piracy" traditionally refers to people who perform armed robbery on high seas.

Copying can be unauthorized, but when you say it as it is, "unauthorized copying" sounds a lot less terrible then "stealing" and "piracy", and is more precise in meaning.
It makes sense that moon dates are in sync with Earth, after all its motion is in sync with Earth too. Mars days are slightly longer than Earth's ones but there are more of them in a Martian year. You want months and years to be local if there are seasons that affect life on that planet. I expect that Mars will have its own months and years but they'll know Earth date for quite a long time, at least until they'll have to depend on Earth for survival.
I sincerely hope that all cruise ship business assets sink without anyone on board and no toxic waste stored in the most suitable part of the oceans to form a reef reminiscent of the gardens of babel. Horrible for the environment and horrible for those working on them.

That being said, what a magnificent piece of engineering, creating a vessel sustaining so many people in the middle of the part of the planet that comes only second to deserts for the worst place to be in for surviving. Such waste of brilliant engineering...
PS. I closed the curtains and start wathing the video...
It looks really impressive!
Yet another way to sell people things they already own.

I’m looking forward to Intel Probabilistic Provisioning, where you can buy keys for CPU accelerator loot boxes you acquire through CPU usage.
Too early and didn't want to be a tech company. If Google had made this, we'd probably all be using it.

Still, at least Yahoo has a great exclamation mark in the logo now.

I understand what you're saying on a high level, but it's tricky for me to then translate that into practice

One issue is that all this interactive stuff always just give you a "Frequency Domain" when really you have complex values and weights.

At the end of the day I need to find a way to work backwards. From a sinc ringing back to both a frequency and phase.

Say I have data that's got some high frequency relatively low amplitude noise and I have say several thousand samples. The samples in my case are actually not exactly evenly spaces in time unfortunately, but I can interpolate. And I want to extract a strong very low frequency component. It's got maybe 10 oscillations in my dataset.

If I do an FFT I'll get some sinc around 10Hz. There is other stuff in the spectrum, but not much around 10Hz. Now I want to work from that sinc and get back to an original frequency and phase. How do I go about that? (without truncating my data)

In my usecase it might be a bit trickier. There are probably several distinct frequencies but the phase need to be known very accurately. Normally when playing with FFTs it's a bit problematic when it comes to determining frequency b/c the naiive interpretation limits you to discreet values. But when it comes to the phase offset there is no such limit. The limit is determined by the accuracy of your input (though I don't actually know how to go from data error-values to a phase error-value. The error propagation is a little confusing to calculate)
Did you have your code within WSL2, or outside of it?

I/O performance is horrible in the second case. It's recommended to have your projects within WSL2. I've personally just bookmarked my projects folder that's within WSL2 so I can access it from Explorer as well.
let's just be adults here and face it. unless using rhetoric, we still dont know how to deal with piracy in 2022
lol, lmao.

I mean sure. It also has a built in censorship mechanism (documented in the fucking paper).
Americans, Frenchmen, Germans, Turks, Chinese, Bri'ish, Kenyans, Iranians... Pick any national origin, and you will see a fraction of them commit war crimes. So why focus on one nation, when those crimes are commited by individuals, and often ordered by entrenched unelected bureaucratic government interests?

Why blame all Americans, all Chinese, for the crimes of a few of them?
All Chinese didn't force Uighurs into organ harvesting camps. All Turks didn't genocide Armenians, All Americans don't commit war crimes every 20 minutes, although some gangs in Chicago come close if you loosen your definition of "war crimes".

> Instead, it's a guessing game about syntax and semantics, and frequently a source of frustration

My biggest frustration with Alexa is getting it play the podcasts I want to listen to. Even popular podcasts with English names are hard to get just right for Alexa. The same goes for song titles and bands that are not popular, or they are in other languages.

Usually when I want to take a shower, I try to get the podcasts/music to play for 2 minutes, then sigh, give up and just say "Alexa play Britney Spears".
I've used it briefly. I don't necessarily think it was too early but it was such a niche tool, hard to find, barely advertised to its potential target group, lacked documentation, demos and a community. I think, it was simply a result of Yahoo's chaotic product management at that time. They had a few gems that didn't get the attention they deserved - internally and from the public.
It should also be possible to make a fake CAPTCHA without JavaScript - just a little more clunky: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30576517

I hope Intel get what they deserve in a market with ARM and AMD.
Moves in C++ are a function call that can do whatever any other function call can. The type itself can have additional guarantees and the standard library types generally do. In the case of std::unique_ptr the guarantee is explicit that the moved-from unique_ptr is nulled.
PayPal indicted by Polish consumer protection watchdog for inappropriate TOS
FTA (own translation) TOS are wrong, because of three areas:

- list of forbidden actions by user;

- list of sanctions;

- prohibition from using the account when it's suspended.

They are on hook for "up to 10 % of revenue" of "Paypal (Europe)", the exact amount to be decided later by the court.
You mean, i can do a Hidden Service from behind NAT and connect that to IPFS via onion URL?

Let me see if i can figure this out :D
1) I said that there's not much dirty laundry on Trump to leak and I explained why.

2) Even if there was, it doesn't mean you need to wait for leaks from both sides of a political spectrum to report on them

3) Even if point 2 was true: how would you reconcile one side having more leaks than the other side, or if one is unverified or hard to verify?

4) Even if you could reconcile point 3 somehow: people will still call you biased because the nature of the leaks might not be symmetrical.

How would you operate in such a world.

FWIW I have no real dog in that fight, I am not on one of the US sides, I'm mostly worried about my own politics in the UK and I'm worried that our journalism is not functioning properly, and part of the reason is because the UK is following tact of the US and poisoning public opinion and treating journalists as inhuman meat to be derided publicly and discarded when public support wanes enough.
Likely what happened is that all the source knew what that missiles had hit Poland, and they were (made in) Russia. From that point, things will have been lost in translation, ignored (not necessarily maliciously) in the rush or augmented due to unconscious biases.

It's certainly an editorial problem if this kind of information is not being double and triple-checked for confirmation and precision.
Regarding 3, lots of things drive inequality, but there is no reason to address the myriad reasons, especially ones that cannot be addressed such as differences in innate ability or the parents you have.

If the problem is inequality, and the solution is deemed to be reducing inequality, then a marginal sales/income/wealth/estate tax to redistribute wealth is the only necessary solution.
At the risk of appearing to take a cheap shot - I think if this was built at Google there’s a good chance it would’ve been abandoned or cancelled there too
