This is just a painfully thin excuse to justify exercising your power over others while you have it.

If the overton window shifts, and you and your ideas are being deplatformed using the same justifications you’ve championed, you’ll be screaming for a return to objectivity and neutrality.
Stephen Fry has talked about trying to rewrite scenes from The Great Gatsby from memory, and the renewed appreciation he got for Fitzgerald's prose after that attempt.

In other threads about this I was reminded that 1Password also has a security key that is known only to the client, and thus would not be leaked in the event of a cloud breach. In order to unlock the vault, one needs both pieces of information: the secret key and the master password. The secret key is cached on the client, which is why I had forgotten about it, but it is required for unlocks nonetheless

Thus the advantage goes to 1Password here, since Bitwarden does not require that "second factor" known only to the client (and I'm not talking about 2FA for logins, I mean for the vault)

A lot, actually. He compromised a home-ran webserver on a VM, and compromised his way to a networked work machine. Running exposed ports from your house, no matter how smart you think you are, is not a good idea.
The message everyone hears from that is that if your country is threatened by an aggressive power, we'll give it up but let you flee it and come to us.

That's... not reassuring for allies.
Your ambitions are not stupid but perfectly sensible and laudable. Unless there is something you didn't tell us you just have been really unlucky. So although your current situation sucks and must be very stressful, try not to lose heart and keep a cool head even if it's very difficult. If there is a signed contract, you have some legal avenues open to you and there are probably also quite a few people here on HN who would like to help you if they can. Finally unless you already tried that, it's also possible that either your last employer or one of the places that you rejected would still be willing to take you on if you explain to them what happened. And even if lost your apartment, you might be able to afford staying in youth hostels or similar for a while whilst you sort out your next steps.
This is similar to Christian Marclay's video installation, "The Clock" (2010).

An alternative to globalization is not necessarily isolationism, which I agree is unlikely, but instead the re establishment of distinct blocs that operate largely independently of each other, according to distinct sets of rules, as during the Cold War when you had the (Sino) Soviet bloc, the "West", and a large number of countries that mostly traded with just their immediate neighbours or with former colonial powers. The current, second, period of globalized trade (the first ended in 1914) is built on a rules based international order that is beginning to break down for a variety of reasons, including China's increased economic power, the reemergence of nativism in various polities, Russia's desire to reestablish it's empire (I know that's a simplification but not by that much) and an increasing belief in the EU that the USA is no longer interested in being a guarantor of it's security. A deglobalised world is one where trade still happens, but it is much more likely to be constrained within blocs and be carried out according to different rules and norms depending on where you are.
NSFW are one use-case for the new model training. SD is horrible in generating photo-realistic images with correct anatomy, UD is supposed to fix that. They will also be working on creating a better dataset which is partially human curated with proper cropping and text. They will be bringing artists that were removed from latest SD models.

UD is the only currently community driven alternative. I hope they deliver on what they promised.
I think mastodon sucks. I think most people think it sucks, compared to twitter- which they likely already use. Is the friction of having a worse user experience worth moving from twitter, just because Elon is being a twit? I don't think most people care because- what is the value of twitter anyway? Most social media is- you get to hear what your friends think, and respond to them. With twitter it seems to democratize access to influencers. Would you switch to Mastodon if- none of the people you care about are there? I don't think so. And if most of those influencers don't move to other platforms, will those other platforms be covered by tech journalists? No.
Ask HN: TLD Recommendation?
I don't know how to formulate correctly this question. I'll try.

Mail in a box (Miab) suggests [0] some good TLD and some bad TLD. This is not to bash on Miab. But to understand from where these suggestion comes from. I own some names with cx, ninja, run and some others.
Why would be bad to have a custom domain email address that doesn't belong to the good list of Miab (or any other domain...)?

I was planning to make some personal (and work) email addresses with those cheap domains and fastmail (or some other hosting), but now I'm not sure about it.

Any particular reason?

Isn't AI (chatgpt) basically too late to the party. If I'm understanding the thrust of the article is that language models can easily generate content that you don't know if it's true or not, with various opinions and points of view.

But the internet already has that. And that's how chatgpt can generate it's text, because it's trained on the internet as a corpus. So it can make more of the same, slanted and untrustable and maybe indistinguishable from whether a person wrote it. But that's nothing new.
> so students will just ask additional questions during the class

LOL - if only students could be depended on to, you know, actually ask questions during class!

The better approach: The professor poses (pre-written) questions to the class and tells the students, "turn to your neighbor and see what you think"; then, the professor calls on a group to answer. (See the example at § 2.2.3, "Homework review - signature block at https://toedtclassnotes.site44.com/#Day02.)

To be sure, this approach is initially more work for the instructor. But it seems to significantly increase audience engagement. Over time, the instructor builds up a question bank that can be selectively re-used.
This isn't April 1, so: I'm sorry, but this is just ... silly. Our normal walking gait evolved to be efficient for our anatomy. Of course any variation is going to be less efficient and therefore better exercise. The whole point of exercise is to move inefficiently so that your muscles have to work harder in a given span of time than they otherwise would. There is nothing special about silly walks in this regard. You can be inefficient without being silly, it's just hard to be silly without being inefficient.

> the people are just poorer and more desperate

Precisely because of this, globalization is destined to stay. It is the ultimate wet dream of capital: an endless reserve of cheap labor.

Marx might not have got the prognosis right, but his diagnosis still holds.
It doesn’t boil down to that at all.

Anyone can send me spam email, my spam filters pick most it up and I never see it. I’d not choose to have corporate moderation of my incoming email even if it meant less spam.

The same applies to web sites. The web is full of all sorts of things you probably don’t want to see. You don’t need it to be removed by your government in order for the whole web not to degenerate to 4chan.

I don’t follow people who share objectionable things on Twitter, and if they start to I unfollow them. The only reason I’d see the crap would be if Twitter choose to show it to me. It doesn’t need to be “moderated” (deleted) for Twitter not to show it to me if I’m not following the author or someone who retweets it (and if I am, and continue to do so, then presumably I want to see it, and that’s up to me).

It’s simply not the case that the presence of objectionable things on the internet is the root of the problem. The problem, mostly, is perverse incentives for companies to promote it.

Until we realise this we’ll keep building algorithms that are incentivised to create division and stole obsessions of all sorts to keep people online and watching ads, followed by wondering where our moderation went wrong and what extra control we can impose to finally make things better.

It won’t work.
Remorse? Are you kidding? Some likely get a long-forgotten tingle out of it ;-)
Could be. Right now people are too busy buying Model Ys though. I have a difficult time seeing that changing. People like EVs. And the EVs available for sale are by and large Teslas, followed by VW group cars.
I published a book with degruyter and there is no proofreading at all. No support to get e.g. the colours right for printing. They only give you some example books, a rough latex template and minor advice on content and audience. Once it is published they will ask you if you want to prepare a revised version. It was OK because e.g. my students get a free ebook version anyways via the university subscription and I guess it is ok for the rest to pay the overpriced but well printed book.
Hang on... to go from "System32" to "System33" is one bit flip, but to go from "System33" to "System34" is three bit flips at once. Doesn't that seem astronomically more likely to be a malicious program than bad RAM?
Airtable was a really cool startup when they came out in 2012. There was nothing else like it. Now, with their mass layoffs, and free alternatives, it makes you wonder if they can survive as a company.
I'd say that's because shampoo is a commodity and has next to zero side effects for most people. I'm sure there's people out there with very special needs who care about whether a given brand dies or goes multinational, but that's a very niche thing.

But take say, Facebook buying Oculus. Oculus revived an effectively dead technology. Facebook gave them the ability to build much better tech, sell much more of it, and then coupled it with Facebook's love for sucking in private data. It absolutely had a huge effect on that part of the industry.
Oh you'll still pay a law firm for the responsibility of the document, but the firm is going to employ far fewer people for the same work.
the issue is that the large language model doesn’t understand what it’s saying, cannot reason or come up with novel ideas, yet it can convince a human that it _is_ doing so.

so then if the world begins to prefer AI-generated content, any question you ask the internet will only show you AI-generated answers, which can only offer you answers based on its training set, and over time a system with no new inputs just ends up being static generated from static, albeit static which is convincing enough for a human to accept it.
Could you potentially explain your situation to Meta and see if they can get your offer back, even if it's for another team?

Great, they got some kind of content from somewhere else. Let’s follow the link to verifythis.com:

> Yes, warming up your car before driving in cold weather can damage the engine.

There’s even a video!

Let’s click the actual link to smarttoyota.com:

> Warming up your vehicle can actually shorten the life of your engine, by letting your vehicle idle in the cold you are actually stripping away oil from the engine’s pistons and cylinders each time you do this. While you may wonder where this myth came from since it’s not true, it’s because it was once based on facts. Jake Scheafer the Service Director at Smart Motors’ says before cars and trucks were equipped with fuel management systems, they relied on carburetors and simpler fuel system management which did need significant time to warm up.

Hint: next time you make a video based on some other source, try reading at least two sentences.

The site is free to access. There's no paywall.

I guess the site blocks access from countries that require compliance with GDPR.

I'm sure there's more than meets the eye, but it seems all Musk had to do was come in, fire a smaller portion, more tactically, and then not be the main character every day, driving advertisers away. Q3 2022 Twitter was only some $200 million shy of being profitable so keeping the same ad revenue and merely cutting costs, just sitting back for a couple months would have resulted in profitability.

Now, if you come in with a need to exercise some political angle then you have to admit that then profitability is no longer the number one goal.
I had RAM go bad after running 18T (5 HDDs in raid1) btrfs system in closet for years.
Btrfs of course noticed it and fixed most of them automatically when some of blocks were corrupt. But eventually the system failed: the tree that contains the checksums for all the other trees corrupted itself on both copies of one node.
Fixed the HW problem and then had to use hex editor to set the checksum manually to correct value (I modified the kernel to print the expected value).
Now the system has been again stable for 3 years.

Anecdotally, I've become aware that the Windows Kindle installer version 1.17 works fine for downloading your paid-for Kindle books and format-shifting them or making a personal back-up in a more open form. That information was current about a year or so ago; hopefully that version has not been hobbled since. Also, disable auto-updating.

I strongly suggest you only use it for your own purchases. Authors need to heat and eat too.
Well if I turn up for a flight that's full, I get compensated, it is currently illegal in my country to ring people up and not connect them with someone. If I sign a contract to buy something in the future, I am expected to buy that thing.

Here's one that I think might actually have a chance of happening:

- Stable diffusion but for music. That is, give a text prompt and get a 2-5 minute song out.

So people can say things like "give me a song in the style of Siouxsie and the Banshee's first album, lamenting lost love" and get something reasonable back.

It would also be nice to do a retrospective of what actually was predicted correctly from past predictions, specifically 2022.
Sun had a System adminstrator 1 class that lasted a week. I was lucky to be sent by an employer and it was fantastic and granular. Essentially the class was bring up a Solaris install in such a granular system the we started with Inodes or just below Inodes. The entire OS and it’s supporting abstractions were revealed.

If this lab is used for that type of class it would be worth the trouble to keep it running.

> We automatically think that this means the system will support X, but I strongly believe the opposing the desired outcome will have more traction.

The real power is just going to come from making people believe X matters more than anything else. X is great, and X sucks, are both red herrings.

Edit: The way this power will be used will not be yo sway opinion but to breed chaos by keeping the most irresolvable topics (pick your political third rail of choice) top of mind.

> Huh interesting, I though the end goal was to replace synapse with Dendrite?

Originally, yes. But Synapse has ended up needing to support some massive deployments, and took quite a lot of inspiration from Dendrite in doing so.

Meanwhile, Dendrite has ended specialising on embedded small-form-factor servers (eg for P2P Matrix). So I suspect we’ll end up with both.

Me too. That’s basically the point of the whole post. Element X and the underlying tech is looking very promising though, and we’re betting the farm on it.

You can replace Jitsi with Element Call in Element Web/Desktop today by going into Labs on nightly or develop and turning all the flags on. It generally works well (but doesn’t use waterfall for a scalable SFU yet).

We never delete posts outright unless the author specifically asks us to. The most we would otherwise do is kill a post, which puts it in the [dead] state, and anyone who wants to can see all those posts by turning 'showdead' on in their profile. Even that is not something we usually do; most [dead] posts get there either by user flags or because software did it (e.g. because a site or an account is banned).

Other than that, as other users have pointed out already, we might make a subthread collapsed by default. This is more common.
Should they not be able to use their free speech to advocate for that?
They should also mandate longevity, not just lumens per Watt. LED bulbs could technically live for decades, but there's a trend to drive them so hard that they die a heat death after a few years. And those LED bulbs contain much more electronics and thus stuff that is bad for the environment, so while we obviously save a lot of energy compared to incandescent bulbs, we could easily do even better by not going for the most shitty design that dies early. But I get it, how are you gonna make a living if your bulbs last forever?
Can't wait for Matt to hit the motherlode: Elon banning journalists out of personal spite, making a poll to unban them but underhandedly demanding they delete their (never rule-breaking) tweets.

>Yet you don't really try to understand why Windows keeps winning with general users ?

I don't really care. But I realize it is because they don't value the same things I do. Which is fine. I have no desire to tell people what they want. If they prefer convenience(largely illusory) to privacy and quality, it's none of my business. Let them eat McDonalds, work 50 hours a week, and shop til they drop.
