Doesn't banning the category create an even stronger incentive for deliberate miscategorization?
What about federation makes social media healthy? From what I've seen, the problems that keep coming up are not related to the network architecture, they're more about how people cannot relate to each other in a healthy way. If Mozilla has a solution to this, they should get a Nobel Peace Prize. On the other hand, if their idea is "this time it'll work, because it's us doing it" then I'm pretty skeptical.
StackOverflow and Wikipedia both depend on a particular dynamic. It's costly to come up with nonsense that looks right enough to pass, and it's easy to hit revert or downvote that content if it's fishy.

AI generation of nonsense flips that - it's easy and limitlessly scalable to come up with "rightish" stuff, and cleanup still takes human effort that scales at the number of engaged users.
Do you think any firms will implode over this?

The Yen carry trade has been so reliable over so long that I think many firms would be highly overleveraged on this. Fortunately its not THAT big of an overnight move in the Yen but maybe bond traders got thrown off.
There's usually some legitimate value in fringes. Even when 95%+ of the fringe can be baseless, total conspiracy tier stuff, but calling 100% of it 'misinformation' and creating a culture of banning/discrediting it out-right and finding weak excuses (ie, accusations racist-by-association because others who are in the fringe happen to be racist, like the current western modus operandi) is dangerous and anti-progress.

The Progressive stuff was always a marketing strategy.
"shall promulgate a rule that prohibits financial institutions from— (1) handling, using, or transacting business with digital asset mixers, privacy coins, and other anonymity-enhancing technologies, as specified by 6 the Secretary"

Essentially, Warren and other privacy violating nutters want the identity of every crypto transaction. One can argue this is to curtail "laundering" at the tradeoff of privacy violation. Should every cash transaction also involve some receipt or the government will deem the transaction illegal? Will "cash only" businesses become illegal?

It seems like Warren still has similar views to many privacy violating politicians and administrators in the Bush administration...
Elon needed to sack people immediately when he joined because many of them were actively sabotaging the takeover. What else could he do? Sit back and allow them access to the network and tools for months?

Their severance package looks pretty generous to me, and they got the benefit of not having to work their notice period.

So the legal cases here are just a continuation of the vexatious behaviour towards Musk that characterises most of Twitter 1.0’s leftwing employee base.
Didn't that happen?
I'm not a Gates fan or apologist, but apparently the links between Gates and Epstein are weak at best. It seems he flew with Epstein once, in the context of business/philanthropy. [1]

I get the impression Epstein met a ton of who's-whos, which makes it easy to generate a ton of click-baity "guilt by association" type articles. I.E. "Hey did you know that <controversial public figure> <met/dined/visited/flew> with Epstein?". Guaranteed views, little substance.

Again, not a Gates fan.

I think a big part (if not the most critical one) of this deterioration is the addition of algorithmic feeds. As soon as a company starts prioritizing content, it breaks the natural flow of a conversation we have in real life. This leads to group mixing, polarization, emotionally-charged content prevalence, etc.

I have never really used Twitter until very recently. It was shocking to me how much the algorithmic content insertion drives the conversation. E.g. I click on a link to read an individual thread: right in the middle of it, with almost no visual indication Twitter is inserting completely unrelated but "high engagement" content. It's brutal.

Edit: imagine group chats sorted by engagement... a pile of responses in a disconnected sequence. Someone said something funny that got 10 likes? Push it to the top for the next 2 hours! (I am tempted to build this as an experiment just to see how awful—or effective?—this would be like.)
this looks interesting but how is this better than just doing docker-compose?
It rarely if ever actually works out for the simple reason that, if one jurisdiction pumps the brakes, there's a dozen others willing to floor the other pedal on the same thing.
I hope they work on a less-toxic gpt-chat alternative next. And a positive replacement for whatever SBF's company did. Anything I'm missing?
Why should hot dog vendors be exempt from regulations applied to financial institutions? Answer: because they're not financial institutions. Neither are bitcoin miners or proof-of-stake validators.

Centralized exchanges like FTX, on the other hand, absolutely should be subject to those regulations. But in the US they pretty much already are. FTX was in the Bahamas.
No, he doesn't. I updated my comment to reflect what I actually meant to say.
And then you need a case, and then you need to slap audio amplifier for speakers too, and find that one magical USB power supply that won't crash rPi under load.

Oh, and some kind of supercap probably so powering it off is not crashing your FS... or build your OS to run off readonly image and only save some settings.

That is my experience from building a prototype of that
Yeah I agree. She was still my pick for dem candidate for president (full disclosure). I think they are trying to ban anything they can't trace. E. Warren in particular likes regulating banks and wall street.

Equifax Data Breach Settlement Payment
Hello, XXXX XXXX

Equifax Breach Settlement Fund has sent you $5.21 USD.

Note from Equifax Breach Settlement Fund:

Note: This is your payment for the Equifax Data Breach Settlement claim filed between July 22, 2019 and January 22, 2020. The Settlement Administrator cannot provide tax advice. You may want to consult your financial or tax advisor with regards to the tax treatment of this Settlement payment if you have tax-related questions.
Trump won't tweet so he's picking up the slack, I guess.
In that case, shouldn't we get rid of money laundering regulations for all financial institutions? That would (presumably) provide even more privacy; there's no reason to make crypto an exception.
We use mypy and we enforce it on the CI. Ambiguous types are forbidden. We catch lot of bugs with this.
I did not read the bill, either, but I am very worried that all those contributions by SBF haven't swayed the Democrats at all! Does she hate all red blooded Americans or just cryptocurrency enthusiasts, I can't decide! Either way, I'm upset and you should be too.
The very high bar for IPO (aka sarbanes-oxley, layers, bankers) is part of the 'model'.

Aside from expenses, there is a kind of 'stock populism' - big stocks get a lot of noise, which is a form of demand gen for the stock.

Companies with popular CEO's get a huge boost for example.

Both retail and bigger investors tend to prefer the bigger stocks.

This is part of the model which might possibly be improved.

We could adjust the taxation rules maybe, or, change listing rules, or literally just convince the banks that there is a huge opportunity in smallcap that's overlooked.

There are 100x mid-sized business opportunities for every big one - I see them literally every day.

I have told countless entrepreneurs that they have great businesses that are not suitable for VC because the growth and market is not there. And then what?

It's more economically efficient for them to nerd-out and compete for a 'Google Job' because they have all the power in the system.

Indirectly - there may be a bit opportunity with scale and regionality.

Large brands get a natural advantage in advertising as well, which doesn't work well for little regional shops.

I just bought a pair of winter boots on the high street out my door but totally by fluke - the are too small of an op to compete online.

There might be some taxation or international regs that we might want to put in place.

Perhaps I'm suggesting a bunch of adjustments that streamline financing for SMB and recognize the disproportionate power of conglomerates that it not always economically efficient. Often it is, but not always.

Christ, this is genius. Why doesn't this already exist? I can already think of a bunch of use cases.

You should definitely work on getting an API together. I could see people building services on top of this if there was a programmatic way to create paid links.
> If you can't even make your point without repeatedly using one of the forbidden words by accident, then perhaps the forbidden word list is too broad.

I'm not accidentally using forbidden words, I'm intentionally using words that are not in fact forbidden, because no one (especially Stanford) has forbidden anyone from saying them. Stanford doesn't police my language, I can use whatever words I want. If someone is offended by my words they can tell me.

But Stanford is not in the same position I am, posting on an internet forum. They are a corporate entity looking to manage their brand. I'm going to keep making this point, because so far no one so far has really engaged with it, but this is no different than Coke having an internal style guide for how their logo can be used and in what contexts.
The shortcoming, I think, was file size for the samples. I mean 2MB was about average RAM for a new home PC in 1996 and sampled sounds at 16bits x 44 kHz would eat that up pretty fast.

That means putting them in ROM and that means compliant hardware or CDROM latency.
Proposed bills usually don't come to much, so generally it's better to wait for a more substantial story for a thread.

I think you are enamoured with the idea of being neutral, like a pure-wisdom spirit above the melee, wisely noticing the hypocrisy of the west and reminding us the right for any people to live as they see fit.

Well I think this is just your ego flattering yourself.

Because this is such a clumsy false dichotomy that it's frankly hard to accept that people can actually think sincerely what you said.

How can you not see that the ancient way the talibans want to enforce is just another oppressive standard forced on the population, especially women?

What if I am an afghan woman who wants to live based on another perfectly valid ancient way of life, but different than the talibans'? Must I shut up or be killed? Who decides exactly? Whose ancient way is the most legitimate? Could it be perhaps _any_ that does not oppress to death people?

Perhaps people are just saying that anything less oppressive than this horror is what should be? Perhaps that's what people mean when they talk about human rights? And perhaps that reality has NOTHING to do with the west's hypocrisy or any misuse of the term 'human rights' you might encounter?
What’s tiring for some of us is seeing Mozilla make several announcements a year about projects nobody cares about except whoever came up with the idea and their social circle. From the outside the organization seems to be full of people looking to use the resources of a non-profit to launch something, valuable or not, then use the name recognition on their CV as a springboard.
I’m not really surprised by this news after his Twitter post [1] soliciting the public for code, tbh.

Anyone who knows anything about search knows that it’s not an easy problem to solve, especially at Twitter scale and especially given only 12 weeks to do it. The mythos of the lone genius coder really needs to just die already.

Why Do We Yawn? (2019)
> Lot of people doing deep work do it on a schedule - and a very hard one at that

Indeed, and I was not talking about zero/low-schedule, but the minimum necessary. That is, no micro-self-management beyond that.

> based on the creation of habit, instead of relying on luck to be in the zone

I also agree. That is why I said not the lazy freedom. Habit is important, but a habit-mindset is not always the most creative/productive. Also, habit has that automaticity that can prevent the kind of useful essentialism mentionned in the article.

So, it is a balancing act. schedule/habit are only half the story.
Christianity inherited its ban on usury from Judaism, just like Islam. The Jews took it to mean they were only forbidden from charging interest to other members of their faith, but the Catholic Church outright forbade interest taking for a long time, well into the Renaissance.

The turning point was probably around the same time the Church came around on Liberal republics replacing kings and queens.

Interesting; I don't think physicians, the target market, like them much either. It's like a lame facebook/linkedin for healthcare professionals.
I absolutely do not agree with stigmatizing child freedom, or any notion of "spinsterhood", I just think we can acknowledge that this is a common concern with or without coercion, which is hard to measure and hard even to define.

Interestingly enough technically rPi4 can boot off internet using nothing but builtin eeprom settings. So the modern clone could just boot off fully diskless off "cloud" or the web server in local network.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands is the parent nation state, despite St Maarten's designation as a "country". It's no more an independent state than Scotland (which is to say, not independent).

> The typeset stuff was invented way before midi tho.

To be clear: that was the point. Typeset music notation has struggled to keep up with the physical expression of music[1] for hundreds and hundreds of years. There's nothing new about this problem, and it has nothing to do with MIDI.

[1] And MIDI is just another such expression in this context. MIDI is absolutely not an attempt to reproduce typeset music, it's designed to capture electronic instrument behavior.
Whelp, no need for traction then :)
what's interesting about Reddit is that moderation is (in theory) decentralized and handled independently by each sub. Only account creation and discovery are centralized, from the perspective of an average user experience. The whole point of a federated system is that you get the best of both worlds: global discovery and one single account/login for all communities, but you retain per-community moderation.
Ugh, stop digging in on this lame 1 dimensional spectrum. It doesn’t adequately capture anything meaningful in the real world.

There is no “global center-right”.

What is considered a “right wing extremist” in France could still be extremely nationalistic, anti-immigration, pro state entitlements, anti free speech, and anti gun rights. That has zero overlap with any of the political parties in the US no matter where you plop the dumb pin on the 1d line.
When the alternative is nothing or paying a lot of money for something you need to make a lot of money, people will pay a lot of money. It still crazy though. The 80s don't seem that long ago.

It's also scary in that you can extend the premise of knowing the identity of all financial transactions, to anything that obfuscates identity. It wouldn't surprise me if Warren and the other anti-freedom nutters would argue for banning public key encryption, or enforce all key pair generations to be registered with some central database.

It's a shame the company decided to play dumb about what they did on social media. I don't want to patronize a company that is fine alienating a whole segment of their community, then pretending like it never happened.

The rest of the world is moving on, and I'm fine with that. I'm particularly excited to see products like the Orange Pi 5, with up to 32 gigs of memory and a fast eight core CPU, and the 16 gig model is available now, for less than the cost of an 8 gig Pi 4.
What’s weird to me is MSG had to get pictures of all this law firms attorney’s and enter them into their facial recognition database. It seems wasteful and really petty. They probably pulled from they law firms website.

Another reason to keep wearing masks…
It isn't clear to me that regulations could or would cause that. Or that not being regulated would prevent it.

FDIC / SIPC type protections would be beneficial to consumers in cases like FTX. I'm guessing if a crypto version of those things existed, FTX would have massively failed to secure membership since by all accounts it was outright fraud. And if they did, US consumers would receive some portion of their funds back.

I think things like ethereum could have real value but as long as the landscape is littered with rugpulls and ponzi schemes I don't think it will realize that potential.
That is both plainly incorrect (you can drop a breakpoint without breaking the chain, see comment below), and missing the point -- I mean, I appreciate the lecture on what programming is all about, but in this case the programming is all about having fun, and writing a solution as fast as possible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I am pretty sure all form of public social media is toxic. If you give people:

1. a platform to speak their mind (basically can type anything)
2. is public (as opposed to private like Discord servers)

then you will get everything bad about social media even without the for-profit incentives.
Right but you wouldn't need that hack in the first place in MIDI2.0

It does look pretty overcomplicated, but then the variety of use cases might be excusing it.

Also the fact it has some kind of negotiation doesn't preclude doing clever things with it, just the fact you don't need to rename knobs differently for every single device you connect
For something like img2img with Stable Diffusion, if the starting image is copyrighted by someone else I'd expect that the output image is a derivative work of the starting image.
TrueCrypt is secure cryptographically. There are potentially severe vulnerabilities in its Windows implementation that allow for ACE and privesc, but they're pretty boutique.
Funny that for me it works exactly the opposite; I'm subscribed to a lot of channels that upload many videos that don't interest me, however youtube's algorithm is pretty spot-on with videos that I will be very interested in watching, whether they come from channels I'm subscribed to, or not.
> I don't remember all this variety and quantity when I was a kid.

We have the same thing happening in the United States. A few months ago I was walking with my kids, and some woman passing us was incredulous that they weren't phased by seeing a rabbit, and said that when she was a kid it would have been one of the highlights of her year. And I was like yeah, same with me as a kid, but now we see them 20x a day.
Firefox is obviously being improved all the time, and also obviously an org can do many different things at the same time. Yet you still have a fire hose of these comments on every Mozilla/Firefox thread.

I don't want HN threads to be just endlessly and breathlessly complaining about people not doing shit they want. Pay up or do it yourself.
To be pedantic, a forty year old MIDI device will probably have a pretty poor MIDI implementation by the standards of five years later…e.g. the DX7’s MIDI is notoriously limited (and it is only 39 years old).

But I get your point.
It's more complicated than that. You can't deny entry to black people as a public venue. But you can set up a members-only club that does not allow black people to be members, and then sell exclusively to the membership - which is still a business.
