Yeah this is a weird take. Chat bots are improving rapidly, increasingly used in real applications. With more targeted applications, like a "search engine" for coding, I could see these being very powerful. It's weird to write an article discounting that based on how the current ChatGPT application, a research beta, operates and throwing out some fear-based morality.
Wow this is a fascinating website and it will become my obsession in the coming weeks like chatGPT was for a moment there lol
How do you verify that chatgpt answers are correct? (And to be honest, how do you gauge the correctness of random internet sites)?
I mean, we have a physiological answer to the question, dopaminergic circuits control desire and goals, putting us on the treadmill, whereas serotonin circuits avoid that and bring contentment.
Logical Rules for Speaking Figuratively
Bunch of twaddle.

I'm not doing it for the engine, I'm doing it so the windows thaw out, and partly so that the passenger compartment is warm. I'm doing it so I don't get in a friggin accident and kill someone.

Oh yeah, just start it and drive off, very good.
OP-ED obviously doesn't live in a real winter climate.

As for stress on the engine, mine has a governor that won't let it exceed a certain speed until the engine temperature comes up.
I reckon at least two of these are going to come true and it will be less funny than your comment when it does.
Sure, as I say in my first comment, there is a lot of software for linux that just isn't very good, and there is a lot of bad advice and bad defaults floating around. Separating the wheat from the chaff is a daunting task to any new user, and I think most will fail and feel dejected unless they have a strong personal motive to stick with it and learn through experience. It's definitely not for everybody and I don't expect it ever will be.

But if somebody does stick with it and gain that experience, it's often possible for them to find a combination of software and settings that earnestly work well for them personally. It's not as though linux users are all masochists, the reason I continue using Linux is because for me, it's lower stress and hassle than anything else. I learned to use it when I was younger and thought that tinkering with such software was fun. That allure wore off years ago and my present self wouldn't have the patience to learn it all over again, but Linux remains the best choice for me given the experience I already have with it.
> They were downplayed and not talked about much in the mainstream

The western military intelligence communities were aware and had warned about Russian mobilization for months. They were downplayed only by far-right voices in the west that were invested in building up Putin as an effective authoritarian against the slow-moving "woke" bureaucrats of the EU and the US Democrats.
And, so far, it's been handled pretty damn crap.
Redux Toolkit with Typescript is my choice for now.
> Do you agree with copyright laws?

In their entirety? No of course not.

Certainly the duration is ridiculous beyond measure.

But the idea of having no protections for your own work seems barbaric. At least for work that requires "work" for lack of a better word.

I think the laze faire nature of online memes for instance makes sense in that space.

> Are they the best way to reward creation?

I think that providing a mechanism for people to share their work without losing control of it makes sense.

> Do they serve humanity well?

While I wouldn't attribute societies recent online boon to them. I do think that having protections of this kind are one of the reasons we have seen such a huge investment in the space.

Like the current internet or not the hundreds of billions or trillions pumped into it would be harder to stomach if the internet were the wild west some would like it to be.
Sadly CockroachDB is not open source anymore. Maybe take a look at TiDB.
It's not exactly a desktop device (though it can be booted into a desktop), but Steam Deck is by far the best Linux experience I've had. It seems what you really need is a company with an incentive to make a good hardware+software package.
As someone who used ChromeOS for a year or so, I think its kinda cool that mainstream people are using Linux, but
1: They don't know they are using Linux. Most users dont even know what Linux is.
2: Not open source.
3: Not privacy respecting.
ECC can typically correct 1 bit errors and usually detect (and fault) on 2 bit errors.

Your server is faulting and preventing itself from corrupting data.
>If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

>—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols.

The second part is often left out of the discussion.

Greetings from Kyiyv, Ukraine!

I'm near to ok now, but will not refuse help, wrote to Your email.

Merry Christmas!
So the fatal flaw with this is that "feeling threatened" is subjective. A fragile person with zero resilience will feel threatened by you, even if everything you do is harmless.

This makes it unusable as a scale for what is acceptable speech and what is not.
> Are you aware not using the heater does not affect fuel efficiency in an ICE car? Heaters in ICE cars take the pull existing heat from the engine.

It does in many hybrids, particularly those that can operate in EV mode at higher speeds. When heat is commanded, they often will idle under even under no load conditions just to maintain coolant temp. These are conditions which otherwise would use zero fuel.

A fun party trick in my hybrid is that I can turn on and off my engine during the winter at a stop light by using the on/off switch for the climate controls. It’s instantaneous.
That's passing into "ignore your lying eyes and read between the lines" territory, which isn't an argument from evidence but an argument from political ideology.
Show HN: Secure end-to-end client sessions and API calls using crypto key pairs
Hello. I made this project as an experiment in using key cryptography for user identity in a client <-> server model, and for some future peer to peer projects that I am working on.

I am looking for feedback, please let me know what you think.

Also, Merry Christmas to HN! :-)
Good idea, it's high time this practice gets banned
For high load activities like builds and analytics, I use a server, either on the LAN or in the cloud. It gives me a better local performance experience and makes my jobs more reproducible for others to run.
It for sure includes the added complexity of aws-cli scripts and ssh stuff though so YMMV.
The way I see it:

- Today's search engines will give you links to millions of documents

- ChatGPT, if asked correctly, will instead generate one perfect document based on millions of the documents

To me, that's a clear evolution of the search engine, especially with all the SEO & ad spam that's plaguing Google and others currently.

I wasn't ready to pay a monthly fee for an ad-free Google. I am ready to pay for something like ChatGPT.

Google has an issue on their hands and is probably working overtime to lobby the threat of ChatGPT away.
The manufacturers say change the oil every 3000 miles (or whatever), the oil commercials say it is good up to 100,000 miles, split the difference is what I say.

My last vehicle did have a bit of a valve train knock though…
Ok, this is fine, but that means we have to classify Twitter as press, with all of the responsibilities as a publisher that this entails.
While we are on the subject:

Is it easy/recommended to look into creating backup with borg ? Can I regularly backup up an android phone like I do with my laptop ?
I do this too, and have done for years. Doesn't seem to cause a problem!

(I'd have to twist my wrist a bit to use caps lock as a control key, so perhaps my hands are just an odd shape. But i do like having symmetrical meta keys anyway, as i can perform the same motions with both hands.)
This is one of the more important aspects of Linux desktop usage for me. I am currently on Gnome but would switch in a literal heartbeat to KDE if fractional scaling dropped for it first.

Next up: better handling of screen sharing under Wayland. If that's done then I have no problem using Linux in a professional environment since I deliver presentations and collaborate virtually quite a bit.
This reminds me of an article about how phones killed ripley’s believe it or not and the Guinness book of records - both of which are kind of like “solidified” bar conversation. Now if someone at the bar asks about Einstein’s favorite foods, people just whip out phones and find an answer (doesn’t even have to be correct) and the conversation ends. Before you could go all night discussing it from attempts at first principles - you might be entirely wrong but you had fun.
> Make no mistake. Life is not linear. Nothing much happens, it becomes a running joke and then, boom and its not a joke anymore, its the new reality.

A data point: today I was talking with a friend who works in a company making a 3D software. Apparently since last year they lost most of their clients to Blender, which used to be the butt of so many 3D software jokes.
Nobody was suggesting mandating bulkier phones. The argument was only that in this case what a majority of (or at least many) people want is not actually being made. That is not surprising, it's just capitalism and market failure.
First you said it was forced censorship, now you are stating it was extensive collaboration. Do you see that those are not the same?

Which of the removed tweets shows the FBI was acting in obvious bad faith? I just don’t see it.
To be fair, when your survival depends on the military spending of someone else, the lines between "alliance" and "vasalism" starts to blur. It will (understandably) take some balls for Zelensky to ever refuse anything from Biden in the short term ; and in the long term, US will likely not refrain from using the "remember when we saved you from Putin" card (we've heard this in France for, what 50 years ?)

I'm pretty sure Churchill and De Gaulle were called "pupets of the USA" at some point, and they seem to have gone on _fine_.

That being said, it would be foolish from the US to not "destroy the Russian army for less than 5% of its defense budget, without loosing any soldier".
There are still electric heaters which plug into the temperature sensor hole and they are dirt cheap. But yep, some people still do all that open flame crap.
When I relegated my n-1 iPhone to driving music on my stereo I discovered that n-2 had a badly swollen case. Around the same time, I discovered an old MacBook Pro also had a badly swollen battery when I went to remove an SSD from it I wanted for another purpose. It's not clear to me how careful one should be about policing this sort of thing in general. Certainly I'm sure I have old LiON in things at home.
I'm not sure if I follow number 3, can you elaborate?
Would these Chinese ICBMs be distinguishable from nukes? If not, could China actually use them without starting a nuclear war?
20 years ago, most engineering textbooks were about $100 in the US. I discovered they sell them cheaper in Europe, and the cost to buy from Europe + shipping was still a lot cheaper.
No. I un-upgraded the machine I upgraded after 2 weeks. It was unbearable. Just sold it on eBay before Christmas. Only own a MacBook Pro now.
I build games where I run a global setState on the root component 60 times a second and even with deeply nested components it's not even a factor in performance.
Thanks but I stay away from Google products in general and especially don't install any software written by them on my computers (with the exception of the gcp CLI).
Linux doesn't have power nap. That being said, I can leave my Thinkpad in my bag for a few days without worrying about losing any of the work on it. It won't win awards for standby durability, but that may just be a lost cause for x86.
However much skill it may or may not require pales in comparison to recharging a phone rocks and sticks. Papers maps and a small compass are cheap, light weight insurance.
From my perspective, our magic algorithm does indeed make us immune to the “consequences” of scraping copyrighted work. Legally, diffusion models learn from work rather than copying any specific piece, and copyright does not protect a style or give artists the right to retroactively restrict learning from open content. Ethically, our society accepts legally automating people out of jobs, and there’s no good reason that art is different - simply social prestige and classism. Current models, even fine-tuned ones on specific artists, are not wrong, however sad or harmful for the artist they may be. There are winners and losers, that’s capitalism, for better or worse.

I am sorry for artists and think we should probably have a subsidy for human creativity. But for me, Twitter’s bad-faith arguments about “stealing” or “copyright violation”, and maximalist demands for bans on AI art, make compromise undesirable and probably impossible.
I can get it to work because the terminal doesn't scare me, but there's no way I can recommend it to anyone without a certain amount of technical skills.

Then it's a good thing we are on hacker news!!
Some solid career advice in there as well.

I feel like this could used as one of those "How to 10x career" articles - and be better than all of them.
Indeed. And you can do the same thing with AutoHotKey on Windows and xcape or interception-tools on linux. Interception-tools has the big advantage that it doesn't just work under X (but also the console and wayland).
> doesn’t even have similar connotations

IMHO their tagline is "Open source & Airtable alternative" so they're trying to make a connection
Nah, it's pretty inexcusable for Gnome to not surface such a setting. LXQt's mouse configuration GUI lets you configure it, and LXQt has no more than a handful of people working on it. Gnome has more developer resources and could implement this easily, but they also have an attitude problem and bad priorities.
Is there an ongoing trend of sketchy "OSS" product offerings using this same website layout and similar fake quotes from users? I feel like I'm seeing this a lot recently.
Let's say a new user start using NixOS: where he/she find a good starting point to quickly deploy hes/shes first flake-based NixOS test desktop? Than the user want a bit more, let's say "hey, since it's damn easy let's build a custom ISO with my testing desktop config for replication. Sure some blog posts do exists, but from official docs? A third point "oh, nice, now I have a reasonably good NixOS config, a way to deploy it from a custom ISO on a local machine. What about a LAN-wide deploy?" (here is the delirium, and ok, not only for NixOS but for most OS out there, NixOS in particular have stared NixOps, but now seems a bit abandoned, Disnix is not really documented and so on).

That's why my third point is separated from the first: what's the target? The above example is what I see as a classic GNU/Linux nerdy/a bit navigated user path to NixOS for a personal usage as a desktop and for a home-lab-alike infra. For such target there is no good docs at all.

For some niche, like HPC for Guix, again there is nothing "targeted". Similarly for all NixOS use cases I can imaging.

That's why I conclude that docs was produced as a separate stuff "we need to have, not nice to made, not really useful" instead of the base to create newcomers paths to NixOS and also drive future design decisions because writing targeted docs in natural language is the best way to spot very high level logical design issues very hard to get up front discussing between devs and quickly produced code.
That is the back side of the arc, the (maybe inevitable) decline into collecting monopoly profits. I think people are excited about these language models as way to crack the Monopoly with something that delivers more value to users.
9:16 is too tall and therefore tiresome shite. Source: I've been using some monitors like that. It's 2:3 or 3:4 or 4:5, otherwise your neck is going to hurt.

But hey, I embraced wide screens by using multi-column layouts, you should try them some time.
Who said anything about doing nothing? Why not just accept that there’s been a Cold War going on all along and we’ve just been pretending otherwise.
That is true, no arguments against that. I merely wanted to point out that it is relatively easy to find the mentioned help page.
Rest assured that, for this one, it’s a worldwide thing.
Thanks for sharing this, I found this paradigm to be highly intuitive. Adding a link to the HTMX docs which also do a great job of explaining: https://htmx.org/
I also remember when Snapchat purposely obfuscated features in the UI and was designed to not cater to the “Facebook boomer” audience.

Bad onboarding and complexity was a growth feature.

further edit: looks like this isn't new: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29864157 maybe it's just gotten worse and I've noticed it or its "products" in my feeds recently
> Where was GP talking about companies?

The initial comment says government has always used their influence through "newspapers", "television" and "social media", all of which have historically been non-government entities who take the government's input and decide if they want to follow it or not. There are obviously major historical cases in which private companies have defied what the government wanted them to do (NYT v Sullivan, NYT vs US, etc), but I'm sure there are countless examples throughout Twitter's history of the government asking for something and then not getting it, but I assume that isn't something those instances are not being highlighted that much as they don't fit the narrative.
Perhaps they should think this out before they outlaw ICE cars in colder climates.
Unless you have been driving for 2 hours you will probably have some ice on your windows some days here in MN.
Yeah, they are responsible for those 5 minute scroll sessions above the recipes. They rank and monetize those horrible sites.
It seems the only thing that's missing is some type of fact-checking function. The interaction, from a user perspective, is much nicer than sorting through Google results.But the results can be confidentially wrong and if you're not familiar with the subject matter already, you won't really know that.

That said, I'm basically using it as a replacement for Google for stuff that isn't up-to-date (code, philosophy) then double checking the output to see how it's wrong.
Sundararajan is it you?

Using Search Engine Advertisement Services to Defraud Users
Wasn't weather report on TV always a glorified ad space, unless it was an appendix to news?
1. Redhat standardized on RPM. Debian/Ubuntu had dpkg. Arch has their AUR packages. Slack used tarballs.

2. KDE and Gnome created two different rivaling GUI's. Never merged and split the development community down the middle.

3. There are N different GUI libraries: FLTK, GTK+, QT, wxWidgets, etc.

4. There are 3 different cross platform packaging solutions: Snap, Flatpak, AppImage

5. GPU and Wifi drivers can be a pain to get running sometimes, even if they're prepackaged for you. (Hell, my Nvidia drivers crash my windows laptop all the time).

6. Support for hardware sometimes requires third party libraries (solaar for logitech, etc).

7. Some software only supports Mac/Windows, but Mac won't legally let you install their OS in a VM, (not that it stops some people). If you're a business you're forced to use windows anyway for niche software that won't run with Wine.

8. Battery life on laptops typically is worse than a comparative windows/mac system -- because windows and mac tweak more settings for power and performance.
If you look at China, it's exactly due to the West's insatiable appetite for cheaper labor that it has become more technically competent, and more well-off, especially the coastal cities. And this is why it now (for some years) ceases to be a pool of cheap labor: the living standards, while not near Western, have risen so much, the Western customers started finding the labor cost too high. Now it's the turn of Vietnam for many industries.

Previous participants of this joyride: Japan, Korea, half of Southern Europe.

Reserves of cheap labor are not endless, and it's great that the capital actively seeks them out and eventually fills them in.
I really feel like the world is "going dark" along multiple axes, not just the AI one. The globalized economy seems to have passed its peak as the resource dependencies and energy sources have begun a long shift away from 20th century norms, and there's likewise renewed interest in privacy technologies, personalizations/customizations and optimizing around local spaces, vs "connecting the planet" and proceeding further down the path of standardized everything.

Which means that most likely, we have a future where we don't have any designated global sources of truth, as was the assumption going into the Enlightenment. It'll be a little more like Aristotle's time, where the true lessons were taught esoterically, by devising puzzle-like texts with intentional tricks and flaws. (This is the Leo Strauss thesis, which is explained very well by Arthur Melzer in "Philosophy Between the Lines".) To uncover the knowledge you have to demonstrate the critical thinking necessary to undermine its surface.

It's something I should probably try writing fiction about. It could be a long trend or a temporary blip, but it's worthy of speculation.
I was reading Twitter and someone posted a tweet with a photo and that it was created in CSS. It turns out the post was a hoax, but I figured that you can actually create photos in CSS, using box-shadow hack (you create 1x1px div and each pixel is single box-shadow). I was using it few years ago to create pixel graphic editor demo. So I've created something quickly on CodePen that get all pixels and create one big box-shadow. When I opened Google Chrome Dev Tools to copy the code it frozen because it was few MB of box shadow data. I was able to copy the text eventually and create HTML file. Later I've added a way to download a HTML file with your image on CodePen.

Here is the demo: https://jcu.bi/css-image
