Posted this since to me if Apple’s mining information like this - unless the raw data is mined and modeled on the device, which to me seems unlikely, since it would likely be easy for a bad actor to manipulate their “device trust score” if it was.

If anyone has links to the scope and technical aspects of of how Apple’s “device trust score” works, please post links.
I would personally keep everything mentioned but leave out the social proof (I do B2C). Instead I prefer to add more screenshots or possibly small videos

Glad to see that they do address the issue that for a company as big as Meta, it just ends up being a cost of doing business rather than a limitation on tracking.
Pure nostalgia seeing that Instagram app icon.

Alas, as always with such news:

"The EU decision will not have direct consequences for users, unfortunately, as it can be appealed to. Such an appeal would lead to a lengthy judicial process."

Don't be so pessimistic, I'm sure the Metaverse will take off any day now.
Anyone know more about the magazine and what it's trying to accomplish? It seems to be run by some billionaire.
Another business model, as in "just give sh*t away for free, without even advertisements to pay for it"? That's not going to be very successful.
I way almost shocked when I first saw it, all democracies of the world, and human rights, forbid discriminating people by their political views, and some of those companies, if not all, are even public. I do not think such level of bias can be achieved by any kind of casualty, there must be some kind of selection or purge of employed people, which makes it a discrimination as wrong as racial or gender discrimination.

Hope to know your thought, as the weight of those companies in society is undeniable high, some of them impact directly society's culture.
It's like going into a hotel, restaurant, college lecture theatre, or library and immediately being mobbed by sales people.

The owner/landlord may have given permission. But it's still not a welcome intrusion, and wearing a "No salespeople here" anti-mobbing suit is a completely legitimate personal freedom.
I’m surprised you view Montessori education as some sinister thing despite your daughter doing well with it. I feel like you might be overthinking things. Leaving aside Montessori’s somewhat grandiose speech, it’s just a pedagogical mode which allows for more student independence. The main benefit, IMO, is that it reduces the amount of arbitrariness on the part of the instructor. Seems obvious that children will prefer to be able to have some say over what they do day to day. I don’t see how that squares at all with your suggestion that it’s brainwashing students a la Brave New World.
McFly: Fly through your shell history
You're probably an extrovert if you experience greater productivity from a whiteboard session than an email conversation.

I used to do this, too; get the whole team together around a whiteboard and sketch a new thing out. Some of the team made very little contribution in the sessions; I always put this down to them not being very quick (they made good contributions later over email). When I took some management training later I learned that this style of collaboration doesn't suit everyone: the "quiet" folks were just extremely uncomfortable sharing their ideas in the public forum of the whiteboard session.

Now I create a slack channel for this, and stretch the process out over a couple of days. I get more input and better ideas this way.
Depends on your oauth provider. If you wish to use the examples from the readme you do not need to anything - they work out of the box
Possibly, but many of them jumped straight into theories that were very 'out there', so I'm not sure how much of it was because of some considerations vs pure tribal instincts.
Is that a chance you’d be willing to take?
My understanding is that it stops oxygen uptake from your blood to your cells, so it feels like you're not getting enough air, like you're choking or drowning. But I'm not an expert.
There's also Neovide which is written in Rust, which makes it, well, blazingly fast.

In the related comma-first formatting, there's only any benefit to that because the first selected column has been put on the same line as `select`.

If you instead compare:

select
foo,
bar,
fred

and:

select
foo
,bar
,fred

it's arbitrary, and a shame there's no trailing (resp. leading) commas allowed in either case.
Actuated website launch: faster CI for teams
FWIW, I want to make it clear that I'm not criticizing David Graeber. I'm not an anarchist myself, but I very much value and respect his work.

Also, when I used "their" above I meant David Graeber and the co-author of the book David Wengrow.

While I'm at it, I should mention that when I called GH a "kook" in the other thread, I also meant it in a "takes one to know one" kind of a way. To wit: I'm a kook (by many measures, not my own) too. E.g. I believe Bigfoot is real, that they are hominids, and that they may well be as intelligent as H. sapiens or more so.
On alternate Tuesdays I believe the Earth is hollow, just to keep my brain in shape.

Cheers, and well met.
> But "the west" did not stick a sword up Gaddafi's butt -- that was his own people, enraged by the actions of a totalitarian.

Sure, a nato air strike hit Gaddafi's vehicles and opposition was given the location to attack...

People on the ground definitely "finished the job", but it was the massive air campaign and provided intelligence, leadership and weaponry to opposition that ended up getting Gaddafi killed.

For the record, I'm not supporting anyone here. I'm pointing out the idea the Putin isn't scared of his people as much as NATO. Per his own words.

Putin is massively popular in Russia https://www.statista.com/statistics/896181/putin-approval-ra...

Doesn't mean the 15-20% who massively dislike him wouldn't hang him. It would just only happen if Nato or the west provided support to the opposition.
No, I wouldn’t say so. Invading Russia is not on the table at all for anyone.
Could an open source/data GPT like chatbot be created?
The resulting InstructGPT models are much better at following instructions than GPT-3. They also make up facts less often, and show small decreases in toxic output generation. Our labelers prefer outputs from our 1.3B InstructGPT model over outputs from a 175B GPT-3 model, despite having more than 100x fewer parameters. At the same time, we show that we don’t have to compromise on GPT-3’s capabilities, as measured by our model’s performance on academic NLP evaluations.

https://openai.com/blog/instruction-following/

It seems like the a 1.3B parameter model wouldn't require massive resources.

All that chart shows me, as a European, is that tech employees tends to choose between one of the two right-wing parties that dominate US politics.
got bitten by this recently. Another nail in the Microsoft Windows' coffin. It is such a fundamental thing and the fact that the issue has been open for ~2years is nothing short of pure shame.
Raw ALSA can only have one program playing sound unless your hardware has support for hardware mixing (this would generally mean it's very old and also very expensive). More likely you are/were using ALSA's dmix plugin which is a small barebones version of the core functionality of pulseaudio or pipewire. They replace dmix but also give you things like per-program volume control, better latency, better power usage, better mixing, bluetooth support, the ability to do fancy things with audio routing without restarting every program playing audio, etc.
This is potentially a huge step up -- Amazon's purchase of Kiva was a big strategic acquisition, and they made some incremental improvements to that system but as the article stated it was "pennies" vs the "dollars" of savings from the acquisition itself.
I strongly disagree with this. While you can keep using the old stuff, many of the new things will make your code better if you use them. Sure you don't need the new stuff, but the highlights are important. There are also a lot of esoteric things that only a few people will use (but they really need), but you need to keep up just so you can use new features that make your code better.
Oh this thing, and of course it is amazing and popular. But removing it caused so much pain, it's like pulseaudio and asahi all over again.

My gripe is desktop developers and maintainers have this mindset that "users need this stuff, even if they don't want it we will make sure they have it and things will break otherwise".

My wish/hope is for stable/well supported distros like debian to have good support for "minimal" versions of popular DEs.
It took 5 years for this to work its way through the system. Facebook can probably just iterate a little and fight for another 5 years.
Comrade, the propaganda mill will say the same thing regardless of what is actually happening.
pulseaudio exists because it's user friendly.

JACK exists becase some people need low latency and dynamic control over non-trivial audio routing.

pipewire attempts to bring the best of both worlds and make it container friendly for security purposes.
You mean tokens based on blockchains? They have one (and only one) real and worldwide successful use case - law avoidance. Any law, in any country, by any participant. The moral value of this system is an open question though.
As a european, I think both of your "sources" seems dodgy and very US-libertarian biased (should I say Kremlin biased ?)
That presumes you have depression. If you do, I am as well.

In grad school, my university counseling center tried several (some of which had been tried in childhood), and then diagnosed me with CPTSD and GAD from the treatment I endured in K12, handed me an alaprazolam script, and encouraged me to try to live a fulfilling life on top of being on the autistic spectrum.

OTOH I found cannabis helps when other things didn't, but there were supply chain issues since I was rapidly shifting from nearly joining the NSA to, by my mid 20s, authoring the beginnings of a PhD thesis on how we could better design anonymnity tools for non-computer scientists, which I recently posted in new but don't want to spam.

The issue is that we pretend there is one treatment for all sadnesses, when often sadness is reactive.

Combine that with the fact folks often want to do drugs to feel good, and that IMHO adds value to cannabis -- it's less addictive than alaprazolam or SSRIs and can be stopped more rapidly with less dangerous side effects.

(Feel free to drop contact details if you want to discuss this further, today is the last Friday I will be posting about anything but tech on HN, but it's hard to do that: the personal computer is political.)
Not that I am aware of. Children being relocated are being adopted into Russian families, they aren’t treated as hostages.
One game theory result I remember is the hypothetical situation of two people dropped onto a grid with radios who must rendezvous. Apparently the game theoretical optimal strategy is to establish contact, inform the other person of one's location and the fact that one is destroying one's radio, then actually destroy the radio...
There are many many services that cannot be done by businesses. From the foundational regulatory framework and enforcement of laws that make substantial businesses possible in the first place, to more practical things like safety and security.
Sign you business up for something like Wise and take the money in its original form without conversion fees. In my experience, wiring up webhooks + API on wise to automate back to your own currency is less expensive than stripe. YMMV
Depends to whom.

To countries far away, but wary of, dunno, nukes going into the hands of terrorists, sure.

To countries bordering Russia who are intimidated and threatened (or invaded!) on a continuous basis, this is a definite improvement.
Hi, I'm Alex the founder of actuated. We've been following the monetising innovation and The Right It playbooks here, and only investing as much time and money as it seems to make sense given customer interest.

NB: for the mods, we are calling actuated "blazing fast CI", but we also understand that you want to rename the post to just "fast CI". I've settled on "faster CI" for Hacker News, hope this is OK with you?

It was great to see our message resonate so much on the front page a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for your support.

Here's the next iteration, our website. It's made with Tailwind UI and there'll be more to come.

If what we're building resonates with you, please reach out for a quick user interview and to get started with actuated.

We have live customers and they've had good results. But we want to prove that we can help more teams like yours.

That's not an explanation, that's a rather trite attempt at an ad-hominem evasion. What (and how) does your exhaustive knowledge of physics allow you to conclude about how Sommerfeld, Born and Heisenberg viewed the significance of what they were working on, that you assume is not available to me? Use whatever physics is necessary to explain how you came to your position - I might know more than you assume.
Powell's job is to fight inflation. Congress's job is to tax the rich and bust trusts.

Congress used its not-new decades-old authority to force a contract that 8 of the 12 unions already agreed to, to protect the larger economy (including most workers).

New unions are popping up at Starbucks and others. Wages are going up at the low-wage end of the workforce.

Is the tax rate on the ultra wealthy too low? Probably. But it's not "an all time low". The police aren't out killing workers like they did a century ago.
I wondered about the lack of other sources too and in their post they link to this (paywalled) article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/metas-targeted-ad-model-faces-r...
Ah, interesting. Does it report wealth or income? What kind of effects do you think it has on society? What do people actually do with the information?

It would be so fun to be in IT in Russia right now. Software and film piracy is now completely legal because, if they aren’t selling it, it’s not theft. I could put pirated Windows on every workstation with no fear…
It was a lot of money!
I'm not saying they should, I'm picturing a situation where troops enter Ukraine then retreat to safety repeatedly.

I'll shut up now, I try to focus on policy positions, not the positions of troops :-)
The patch just removes the instruction that does the license check and sets the return value to true.

This is the actual part that patches out the license check:

val index = method.implementation.instructions.size

// remove R() at 10212
method.removeInstruction(index - 3)
// remove R() at 10206
method.removeInstruction(index - 5)

method.addInstructions(

Anyone going along the Sammamish River Trail through Redmond will see their handiwork. There was even a dead one along the bank a while back[0], and it was a lot bigger than I expected having never seen one up close. More "small/medium-sized dog" than "cute little furry thing". I wouldn't get close to a live one.

[0] For the locals, on the gravelled west side of the trail north of Leary Way. It wasn't hit by a car (nowhere near the road), and I don't know what would be big enough to kill one that wouldn't take at least a few bites. Long gone now.
C++ is not much larger than any other language. It doesn't fit together as nice as others, but it isn't really much larger either. Unless your code is trivial, you will be working with a project that is much larger than all of C++.

That last is also why no language can afford to get rid of anything (see python 3 which took over a decade to catch on), someone is using the old thing in code they don't want to touch.

Knowledgeable people, please explain. Wouldn't it be better if applications used ALSA for audio output? In this case they could work without Pulseaudio and with (because Pulseaudio adds a sink to ALSA). This way the application doesn't need to know which audio daemon it uses. What are the downsides of this approach?
Not sure if it helps, but I've created a small Discord server to hang about with other random people (for now all HN fellas), with no particular goal if just having a place to talk shop or life or whatever, whenever you feel like it.

If this sounds interesting to you, or anyone, send me a mail with your Discord name. It's quite small, with half a dozen regulars for now. EDIT: a dozen peeps now!

I made it because no, there is no place to talk randomly with strangers on the Internet. IRC has died and we've lost the chatrooms you can enter and leave at any moment's notice, without needing someone to invite you or agree to 50k rules to be let in.

The internet has become terrible for casual, real time conversation with strangers, unless you really like shouting into the void.
I've done SQL with an s-expression syntax, and found it at least as easy to read as normal SQL syntax. Do you have an example that would be harder to read?
Is anyone outside of Meta really disturbed by this?
>I think this is huge divide between sociopaths and normal people. You think everyone cares about honor, respect, and the like but many people just want money and or power.

I know. I worked in DC :-)
I highly doubt that a drop of this magnitude will happen.

Currently what's weighing on the market is mortgages, both availability and rates with both actually easing a little. But there are still plenty of people who want to buy and who have the income to pay current-ish prices and if prices drop a little bit they will gladly snatch what they can.

We've seen that in 2008-2010. Crappy areas get hit, desirable areas not so much.

We all know Amazon doesn't actually hire these warehouse workers, they use shell firms, aka 'staffing agencies.' Bloomberg is obviously perpetuating false positive talking points for Amazon here.

Personally, I don't think robotic picking arms are going to solve any problems, only introduce new ones.

> Upon learning the starting pay was $18.25 an hour, the man said he couldn’t afford to pay rent on that wage.

Yeah, that was a fair wage back in 2005. It's a starvation wage in most metros today. But, we need to learn as a society to not just walk off when we hear this. Always, always accept the job. This will keep them from actually fulfilling the job since they're planning on you working there.
If the upper echelons are fleeing, then the whole stampede sets in, all the lower levels who cant flee, swinging around searching for a new "leader" in the chaos.

I think he's not as internally inconsistent as you claim.

"Doing things i don't like" would be locking me out of purchases I made or bricking my devices if I don't subscribe to some new service.

Google isn't doing this, you can use their products mostly for free and you're unlikely to rub up against the 900lbs gorilla that famously doesn't have support.

Until you do rub up against that gorilla; then you will start to cry about freedom, and retrospectively realise you kept trading it away.

I have never expressed that opinion to any of them. I have a personal rule, which I'll break now because I am quite curious: why is a crappy old dangerous bridge better than a new safe bridge?

If they can't show good ads in Europe, I assume that they will lose money and eventually have to close down here.

I think that users have a right to know what happens to their data. But this is not a consent or information screen, this is the end of it. Europe tells us they do this for our own good, so we can own our data, but then they make it illegal for us to exchange our data for someone's service. Basically they think they know better than us what to do with our data: it is the opposite of freedom.

Hopefully this will teach the users to vote better. Oh wait, we can't elect EU officials directly.
Looks pretty neat. Always blown away by what people can do with CSS. Meanwhile I have to look up how to center a div vertically
Yes, I know how it works. My assertion is it really should not work this way by default. Providing identity (i.e. email address) to a random website is much different from providing them with access to sensitive data (often subtly shown in the signup dialog).

It is good to take a step back from the tech and think about it from the user's perspective.

There absolutely is a need for API endpoints for every single feature present on the web application. What if someone wants to make their own custom client for GitHub?

Curbing automation is not a valid reason for its omission. I can reverse engineer the web page, figure out how it does it and implement it in a script if I want. People have done this to YouTube and Twitter, they can do it to GitHub too and there's absolutely nothing they can do about it.
If the story circulating on all the major social media platforms didn't make a difference they wouldn't have suppressed it.
JanusGraph may or may not fit your needs, though there's quite a learning curve even figuring out how to set it up.

So what I’m arguing for is having a start-of-item token. Like this: ・1 ・2 ・3. Do we need to point an end of last token? As we’ll see next, that’s usually not the case.

We have a special word for end-of-item token: terminator, but no startinator or any similar word. I see some irony in this.

Maybe "introducer"?
Except for the fact that most pirated copies out there contain rootkits.
