'Digital devices are not afforded the same "observational rights" as humans. You can't just buy an extra ticket for a video camera and take it to watch Avatar with you. And you're definitely not allowed to sell those "observations" no matter how compressed the format.'
I would be interested in know what your feed reader service is, and how subscriptions support WebSub.
No, you wouldn't expect anything like that at all. Nobody passing kindergarten would write down something so blatantly illegal.
AI chat bots aren't a replacement for anything. They can't innovate, only replicate.
> Use both, and use both halves of the keyboard If you're doing a combination like Ctrl F, use the right control key. If you're doing Ctrl-l, use the left control key.

Coordinating both hands to press key combos seems much harder than doing that with just one hand.

Also, in many cases (unrelated to Emacs), one hand is on mouse, so pressing keyboard shortcuts by one hand is much more useful than depending on both hands.
Forcing users to "choose a server" is a hard ceiling on adoption for Mastodon (as I've commented many times).

I recently joined Post and although they currently have the annoying "request access -> wait a week -> get email allowing access", the process was familiar and straightforward enough that I doubt the average Twitter user would fall out of the funnel. With Mastodon, they start by making users make a decision they neither understand nor want to make. It's an onboarding slaughterhouse.
Not "missing" but "wilfully omitting".
It used to bother me too, but I‘ve since come around:

It‘s a strictly additional barrier to the passphrase. Bitwarden and LastPass don‘t use one, so if you are fine with that security level, you could publish it on your blog, GitHub profile, or Wikipedia talk page and would literally not be less secure than those two.

It really only is defense in depth, but in a breach like this is where it could shine. A parallel brute force attack becomes infeasible if attackers need to also compromise cloud or local storage, or even trivially correlate semi-publicly but unstructuredly posted secret keys to accounts/vaults.
I’m always curious about people. Are you trolling or are you serious. You haven’t heard of ChatGPT before?
Atom feeds can also support rssCloud through the addition of a cloud element as defined in the RSS spec.
Another vote for Mint here. Had some minor mouse sensitivity problems starting out but other than that I’ve been using it as my daily driver for 2 years now without any problems.
It should still not be administered as a pet. In fact, it's even more important when you have a single instance of some importance to make it entirely rebuildable and replaceable.
react-query to handle server updating state and per component hooks for local state items.

react-query has hook wrappers that allow accessing data you've fetched once across multiple components.

Calling the refetch in one will update all components using that data.

It's clean and minimises the need to think about shared state
Australia remains a lucky country run by second-rate people who've profited immensely from its luck.
All of Python, Perl (!), Ruby, Tcl have been application languages at one time or another. Python evangelists, reel it in a bit, please.
That specifically talks about using the AC, because it's dehumidified air. The AC also requires the engine to be running, so blasting the windshield with hot air or air-conditioned air will require running the engine for roughly the same amount of time.
Plus they are likely running simple Mickey mouse systems that aren't intertwined with a bunch of other systems maintained by other groups.
Typing in python is pretty thorough nowadays, you’ve got overloads, literal types, strict null checking, unions

It’s a more advanced type system than Go and Java
All 4 comments so far are middlebrow dismissals. Disapponting, HN.

It sounds pretty cool to me. It's not a fully formed musical piece in its own right, but did you expect drawing a fractal with note positions on a sequencer to sound like Beethoven's Fifth?

It's an curious little idea that produced an interesting sound, and unlike all the "this is what a black hole sounds like" nonsense it isn't presented as anything more than that. I expect with a little imagination the general idea could be developed into some interesting music, but the post doesn't even claim that.
i think notion uses nix in production. I can't remember what their ci/cd pipeline and version control system is outside of that, or if it was even mentioned in that one comment i saw about it
Might be climatic might be geologic or both. Where was Greenland located 2m years ago? What’s the evidence across continents that everything was warmer and what was greenhouse gases vs today? Might have been solar. How rapidly do the axis tilt or precess?
If you think I'm trolling then you are jumping at shadows.

You're not the one taking huge karmic hits for taking an unpopular opinion, and a lot of kids are using bots to try to de-amp that, like that even matters. So many people these days (if they aren't bots) regularly commit acts of true evil without even realizing it.

You know what I find really sad. No one can talk about anything because people use voting as a way to punish people based on their shallow feelings rather than the content, if they are even real people at all. Most of the time their bots controlled by a small group of people.

Its sad because to think and express real intelligent thought one must risk being offensive, and to learn one must risk being offended. If you don't allow that, you're stripping people of voice or the ability to become more intelligent which is a true evil.

When those that don't think outnumber those that do, why should any intelligent person try to solve the unintelligent majority's problems? :: shakes head, so shortsighted::

I hope you have a happy holiday despite all the negativity. I blame HN for switching their banner to red, it always brings out the absolute worst in people.

- The issue of antibiotic resistant microbial life will become mainstream news, as more cases of infection occur in affluent countries.

- Conflicts on both local as well as national level over water rights will start happening. Not major conflicts, but the initial scuffles.

- Higher than normal global wheat prices along with frivolous government spending will cause Egypt to hint at rising the price of subsidized bread. This will spark massive unrest in a country already struggling.

- Twitter will either go bankrupt or exchange ownership again.

- A major power will perform somekind of military action in space, such as shooting down a satellite of a rival.
> Computer programmers and tech companies are not just robbing artists, but robbing all of humanity of the necessities that we need in order to have a fair chance at this world

A fair chance at what exactly? Creating corporate memphis for Big Co?

Besides, isn't AI just a tool that humans use? Unless I am missing something, people still prompt the AI, curate it's output, and edit the final results. Perhaps this will make art accessible to more people, thus giving everyone a fairer chance in this world.
On many keyboard there's only one Ctrl key and it's at the left and hence it makes Emacs's "C-x" really painful. You're supposed to hit 'x' on a QWERTY keyboard with your ring finger.

One trick, not mentioned in the linked doc, is to move C-x to something else using Emacs' very special "ctl-x-map".

Check one of the mapping using "Ctrl + one finger of the right hand" which is a functionality you don't use much and map that to ctl-x-map.
> Google is terrible at its job and produces garbage most of the time

Are we using the same search engine? I use DuckDuckGo most of the time but Google is hardly terrible, even if it could be improved.

I find what I’m looking for in the top results 90-95% of the time. The other 5-10% also contains times where there simply isn’t a good link that solves what I’m looking for even after digging hard.
As an ex-FAANG engineer, this is FAANG advice. Pets are just fine. Most companies arent FAANG and don't need that class of solution.

An R620 plugged into a switch in a colo, a bash script via cron, or a cloudflare worker are just fine for a lot of use cases. The only time it stops being fine is when you can't afford to do your pet -> cattle migration as you scale up. But I don't think this is a common death for companies.

If you call "cattle" a cloudflare worker or lambda function - fine. But when we are talking about multiple redundant servers with load balancing across them, you really need to justify the cost of that vs the value you squeeze out. Sometimes you're squeezing the juice out of the rind.
You don't transport hydrogen, you transport some other fuel made in a hydrogen-driven chemical process close to where the hydrogen is made. The hydrogen serves as an initial step (that is true for just about any power-to-something) and as an input buffer to allow running downstream processes 24/7 and not just whenever the sun is shining.
What a great answer. Other examples of job systems in action are the US military (hiring anybody with an IQ over 85 to reduce official unemployment numbers) and NASA (carefully placing jobs in all states to ensure political support).

Private companies are full of job systems as well. People hired to make their manager look good and justify larger budgets for example. You can walk into most companies and fire most of middle management and the company will end up more profitable and efficient as a result.
James Clear (author of Atomic Habits) explained his writing process in an article last year - I bookmarked it, as it was just so full of insight. Some gems & insights include:

- take the structure of great sentences that already exists and using it as the bones for a new sentence.
- Use Asana as a dumping ground for ideas, great writing; in no particular order.
- Work on compression: create the most potent form of an idea in the fewest words possible.

Example of creating useful templates from other good writing:
"A key point in the first chapter of Atomic Habits is, ‘You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems’.

That’s actually a play off of a quote from the Greek philosopher Archilochus—‘We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.’ I just took the rough structure of what he said, and played around with plugging words into it to see how I could make it fit with what I was trying to write. "

- Utilize some of the ideas from whatever you're reading. "When I read, I put brackets around the sections I like, and mark them with an asterisk.
- Later, transcribe all those sections and put them into your notes

The article is a fantastic read, you will get some instant "Do This Now" advice which will make you a more effective writer.

I believe this to be a huge deal. In no time a huge part of the internet will be AI-generated and we will pollute our data set for research and training AI with things that are subtly or completely false at times and we won't be able to tell.

It's a lot like iRobot or other stories in which the robots will start to subtly misbehave, like a program you can't debug.
Then it sounds like its motives aren't compatible with widespread adoption in the same way (e.g.) Twitter is.
AI chatbots are (or will be) a replacement for the user interface of search engines.

They'll still be backed by search engines.

(And this isn't news; Google has been saying this for well over a decade, I think, by this point, and Google, Amazon, and others have been doing it with simpler chatbots, primarily for voice assistants, for some time; LLMs are a big step forward for this—though I suspect that per request resource usage is far more.)
Didn't work very well on M1 mac with latest OS when I tried but I can probably run it on x86 somewhere.
I'd be happy to put money on the fact that current artificial intelligence, invisible to us because it doesn't talk like a person, has already pretty much maxed out the potential in terms of influencing us to buy shit.

These new language models do one thing, which is that they do a passable job of putting one word in front of another for awhile. I just don't see that as earth shattering.
So please tell, by what statute or mandate is FBI helping to enforce twitter's terms of service?
Sound like virtue signaling to me. I wish this works out.

I was watching Funky Town mix and thinking how much freedom and joy we lost from those times to now. Things are seriously messed up.

We have fantastic computers, but we have app stores to "protect us" from software. People stopped building software for fun (mostly), now you can't even buy software, you have to subscribe...
And a couple decades later: https://youtu.be/Rcu12JKxoM4
I am also annoyed by the switch to a SaaS-model, but I don‘t think this hurt security in any way, and for most people (i.e. those that used to sync their vault via cloud storage) probably improved it quite a bit.

If you store the secret key locally and only locally, the threat model should be the same as before.
Dreamcast supported Windows CE but it was mainly the homebrew community which used it because it didn’t perform as well as Sega’s own hardware specific SDK. So most games didn’t use WinCE
I wish I could have the graphical stack and mouse handling of MS Windows in general. With the trackpad precision and battery life of Mac on laptop.

The fact the mouse scroll wheel doesn't even work well on Linux is just shameful.
>And why do arguments in favor of removable batteries apply to phones and laptops, but not headphones, vehicles, cameras, etc?

As far as I can tell this is not accurate. I want user-serviceable batteries in all devices. Phones might get the most attention because they're the most ubiquitous, but I wish that all LiON batteries were standardized and user serviceable.

are two that are just for 2 players.

Really depends on what type of game you're looking for. Generally when I'm trying to figure out what types of games people like, I'll ask if they have played Settlers of Catan and if they want ones longer/more complex than that or if Settlers of Catan was too long/too complex, or if they want more social games.

check out https://www.yucata.de/en and https://boardgamearena.com/ where you can play online. If it's hard to get people to play in person, perhaps see if you could get a group to play online - join a video call and then set up the game on boardgamearena.

Depending on where you are, look to see if there are boardgame meetups. These are a great way to learn games. At most of these, people will split into small groups, play a game, then when some groups are done, people will suggest some next games and people will split up and play those. Even for people who have been playing boardgames for years, I'd say we expect to be teaching a game to some people/learning a new game we've never played because there just so many boardgames out there.
Here’s the thing though:

Kickstarter can now safely say, “our brand is not associated with this porn generator”.

…and, in the end the unstable folk got the money they wanted anyway?

Isn't this a victory for everyone?

Seems like a fuss about nothing to me.

Freedom of association; don’t like what they’re doing? Don’t be involved with it.
It decreases the total amount of it while substantially concentrating and intensifying it (after all, only the prople quite inhappy with moderation will go to the new platform and from then on they wont be exposed to contrary views).

You metaphorically decrease the number of people who might describe gay people with slurs while increasing the number who would shoot up a gay nightclub.
I agree with using the correct sided modifier, though I disagree with your statement that using the little finger for pressing CTRL means one insists on using one hand. If I hit right CTRL with the little finger of my right hand there is no way I am hitting, say, A with the same hand.

...though I will admit that I have a bad habit of hitting C-x one-handedly (I have my system configured to the Dvorak layout).
There is a way to toggle experimental fractional scaling in GNOME.

Locally caching this data seems like a much more reasonable way to implement this and would have completely prevented this data leak without any impact to usability.
Clean = no additional gh emissions. Production of anything, including hydrogen produces a lot of additional emissions. Green hydrogen is just relatively "greener" than alternatives but that doesn't matter in the long run, just like replacing brown coal with black coal is a "greener" but doesn't matter in the long run.
This was written by a human? It could have been but it reads like it was unfolded from 1 perhaps 2 lines of.. lets say beef. There is very little going on in the text, the blog post is the [now usual] short form free from interesting references to previous writings around this argument, as if the topic was entirely original and invented here

Good references, more than anything, suggest to me an author knows his topic.

The www as a festival of sharing knowledge is really not what we thought it would become or perhaps could or should have.

The author, like most, is definitely capable of writing, sourcing and building(!) something into the chronology of the topic.

But ok, to entertain the idea: I think a chat bot the way companies and government tried to glue it onto their knowledge base (and mostly failed) will now become a real possibility, it will be able to find the most likely document you are looking for and know when the match is to crappy to mention.

An all knowing AI is not required. Have one per domain and let them exchange words.

Real time learning from the conversation is still off but I imagine that could easily change.

Thinking about it, if you want request all information about you from the data hoarders you could build quite the interface to represent you in the bot net. It doesn't have to know hoe to fill taxes as long as there is a tax bot available for 7.3241 dollar per query. Your personal assistant can learn the bits of tax code relevant to your disposition. Seems fun.
Mastodon starts you off by forcing users to make a decision they do not understand before they can even use the platform. That should be a very obvious limitation to getting users signed up. Painfully obvious. Want a better process? Auto-assign a server, get them using the service, and then offer the option to switch servers.

Educating users can work if it is an indispensable service that people need to understand out of necessity. Someone mentioned driving a car as an example. Mastodon is far from indispensable.
> nobody else would be allowed according to Hector Martin

I'm not sure of the meaning here. Is it:

a. ISA extensions can't be called by any program not written by Apple? (including Asahi)

b. Nobody else but Apple has the right to have these ISA extensions, but when in Silicon, programmers can use them?

Note that reddit admin level moderation got more extreme over time. Banning many communities and threatening others to change. You may agree or disagree whether this is a good thing, but it definitely happened.
Why? A turning point would actually be positively standing up for academic freedom when it is threatened. Until that happens, it's just an empty statement

Hear hear! I use Gnome purely because home-manager can configure 99% of it. I had to use Windows a few days ago in order to use Serif products and, beyond looking shit, the lack of the gnomeflow is bloody annoying.

I don't really think of any Vernor Vinge as hard scifi that's got a core "theme" that everything has to connect to. It's rather space opera with fairly deep world building. Every chapter has certain "episodic" aspects, often exploring a single theme, and some chapters advance the broader story arc more than others. So no, the Tines don't connect to the AIs. Instead the Tines contribute to the warp and weft of the story just like the AIs. The angle in their subplot that sticks with me a decade later is the exploration of sense of self when split up between multiple bodies. And what happens to the sense of self when the number of bodies grows or shrinks.

To be fair, "A Deepness in the Sky" has a richer world than Fire. When I reread Fire a few years later I did tend to skim the Tines as well. Whereas every one of the half dozen themes in Deepness has remained compelling after multiple readings.
It's more profitable for companies in Oz to export some raw materials currently. It really does depend on the material though, Aluminium as an example Oz exports a fair bit of that as well as bauxite. Hydrogen somewhat is processed at least before export.

Phage therapy seems like it's gonna become increasingly important (we've been using static munitions against increasingly dynamic enemies for far too long).

Keyhole and robotic surgeries (already advancing rapidly) are going to be significant and useful.

We also need to investigate, understand and classify symbiotic organisms with the same zeal with which we've approached pathogens.

We've spent so long glaring at the invisible enemy that we've completely ignored the invisible allies (who we regularly nuke with broad spectrum soaps, gels and other microbicides).

All we're really doing is creating monopolies for pathogens.

Maybe it's me, but a lot of these article seem to advocate for magical solutions; when there's both enhancements to current technologies and unexploited low-hanging fruit that they aren't even bothering to consider.
Why would you bother engaging someone in conversation at all if you didn't assume they were engaging in good faith?

If I'm going to assume there's a 50% chance the person I'm talking to is engaging in bad faith I'd rather do something more productive like scream my opinions out my window.

"Assuming good faith" is potentially a fantasy, but it's a useful fantasy for encouraging quality conversation.

Depending on how long ago that was, you might simply want to try again with a newer version of Mint.

New hardware can be a problem, especially on Mint which is a little bit more on the conservative side. It just takes times until drivers are made and improved and finally land in Linux Mint. It's not like Windows where drivers are available on day one.

It doesn't feel that much of a problem for me because I started using Linux back in the days when driver support was big, big issues. Back then you weren't even sure if you could get wifi working. These days it is smooth sailing COMPARED to back then but I can see how it might take adjusting for someone coming from Windows. Yes, you have to shop for hardware with an eye on Linux compatibility in mind.
Nope. Nor can China get away with missile attacks on various important domestic facilities in the US either without inviting similar obviously unbearable levels of destruction on themselves
