I was trying to skim this article, but it's a very hard read.

I don't know who he is, but Wikipedia say it's an American-Brit. Is there any reason to assume that he didn't just fly there? In which case of course they knew he was there. He used his passport to get in after all. Also what's the cost of a police patrol checking out a house? I've seen people get harassed at home for not paying a 20 Euro ticket in Germany, surely the Romanian authorities can do the same.

How is this even a story? Completely absurd.
This sounds like a variation of the toner scam
This isn't grifting, and if they had specified the distributor it would be libel. This is a story about a small business that made a lot of bad decisions and got in way over theirs heads.

That's all well and good, but the spin to try to make themselves look like victims is pretty disingenuous. This sounds like the story you get from a teenager about how it's everyone else's fault after they're caught red handed doing something wrong.
> Also, the pronouns "I" and "my" imply that the summary was written by the author (Jim Camp), which it was not.

I don't know this book, but did not assume it; this read like notes I might take from a book, which I will tend to write in the voice of the author so that the pronouns don't reverse if I take a direct quote.
> masses of temporarily embarrassed millionaires

The "managerial class" people who actually read this stuff are often literally millionaires if you count their inflated home values and retirement funds. This is a magazine to be read by doctors, lawyer, investment bankers and techies, not people who work outdoors.

The sliced of the economic ladder who are often derided by people slightly up the ladder as "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" for not sharing the same views mostly don't care what the billionaires are up to unless one of them tries to buy an election presides over some technological breakthrough or some other highly newsworthy event.
It can vary by landlord and jurisdiction. Some places you’re technically paying for the month you just finished, others you’re paying for the month upcoming. It only really differs on the accounting after the first month.
> port this to linux

The problem with porting gui libs to Linux is - what is "Linux GUI"? Likely you would want to port it to either Qt or GTK; other routes might be a bigger lift.

Fwiw, React Native for Windows targets WinUI & for macOS targets UIKit (though Microsoft's work here builds a lot on Facebook's work targeting iOS).
"petty persona energy" doesn't have the ring to it.
the most important section is a quote of a romanian newspaper:
"After seeing, including on social networks, that they were together in Romania, the DIICOT prosecutors mobilized the special troops of the Gendarmerie and descended, by force, on their villa in Pipera, but also on other addresses."

the author does a convincing job of indicating there is no authoritative evidence that the pizza box played any role. the author does not convince me that the pizza box did not play any role.
Banks loan out the money that is deposited. People don't borrow money in order to let it sit in a bank account, either.
Big companies are mostly made up of small people. Small companies tend to have bigger people. If you want to become well known, stand up to the shitty ones, their complaints will do the rest for you. I think the OPs story is going to have a good ending, and I hope that broker tries to slander them because it's free marketing from someone who people in that business probably know all about already. Good luck, and nice save.
We should keep in mind that Soyuz is the name of both a manned space capsule (like dragon / cst100), but also a rocket family (like falcon).

You link seems to be specifically about Soyuz MS, a capsule. No idea how much SpaceX spends on refurbishing dragon.
Why can't you trace it back? Remove all the input, fill the model with noise. Prompt all you want it will produce just noise. Train the model on your chosen input text. Suddenly it starts to provide 'clean and precise text'. Absent an argument that we're looking at AGI I see no other possible conclusion than that this is a mechanical transformation of two inputs (yours + the training data) into some output. What happens inside the box is irrelevant, that's just implementation details of the mechanism. If you build your mechanism in such a way that you can't trace it yourself that doesn't mean that you get to claim the output as an original work.
Entirely agree. To be honest, I think it rather marvellous that people were able to imagine, then reason about, so much precision so long before any physical representation of it was possible. The Babylonians could calculate to a ten thousandth of an inch, but no human could measure the physical equivalent until Henry Maudslay. In a way the whole Industrial Revolution rested on people realising that the five-thousand-year-old mathematical view of abstract truth of "shape" could be rendered as physical reality with the right techniques... but coming up with those abstractions in a world where the roundest thing came off a potter's wheel and the basic unit of length was some fellow's forearm was an even more impressive achievement. We should not take it for granted just because it was so long ago.
This makes sense and falls inline with how NASA has always ratcheted up requirements as the risk increases. The highest risk level is human-rated flight, but they also gauge things like payload cost and "one-of-a-kind" nature of payloads.
This is like saying rich people are more cultured cause they travel more...
> It's 101 that wholesale buyers order by the case and for producers to specify the casecount and price,

Not sure why you're being downvoted because thats standard in wolesale. Not sure how they couldn't catch that when looking at the price either.

Maybe they thought they'd sell a lot less for the same price and aren't talking about this?
I liked the example, it illustrates it from a different perspective. However, why not paying daily? Hourly? Minutely? In the age of computers...

Or understanding exactly what you are signing up for and what is in the papers you sign. And what does each and every term used mean.
The judge/law will say it comes down to intent.

Here's my take from an audio DSP viewpoint.

A composer listens to 10,000 hours of music. One day she writes an
original piece based on the annealed parameters (temporal, spectral,
intensity, pitch, sequence...) of a million artists. However it sounds
like another specific artist who sues.

It is not a cover, a remix, homage, or even forged in the
genre... it's just accidentally a bit too like it. (compare: Banana
Splits vs. Bob Marley - and - Huey Lewis vs. Ray Parker Jr. - which
completely misses the real impact of "Pop Muzik" by M)

The question is, was she exposed to influencing materials incorporated
without intent or was it plagiarism (intent to reproduce a derivative
etc) ?

By contrast I can take a piece of music, break it down by analysis
into melodies, chords, timings, and use FFT to extract the precise
spectrums of instruments, feed those to a resynthesis engine that
finds new synthesiser parameters to create an exact sound-alike and
then deliberately recreate a piece "In the near style of artist X".
With a little musical processing I can change the key, inversions,
re-template the rhythm to a new swing... always pushing the derived
piece into new territory until eventually it's barely recognisable.

Nonetheless, in the second case I have clearly intended to steal
someone's idea and "make it my own" by automatable transformation.

In the former case it seems to be a "genuine labour". (whatever that
means in 2023)

The genuine artist intends to make something through intellectual
labour.

Maybe that's the real question. I mean, about "labour". If the cost of
the labour tends to zero, does it really matter?
Occurred to me that this must be a phenomenon after reading synopses of The Fire Within (2022) and Fire of Love (2022)--- currently omitted from the article. One gets the sense that it is more common than it ought to be, but the question is why? Birthday problem helps to prime the intuition that it's maybe not that unusual to have some matches of "topic" but the extent to which the listed examples are similar (in multiple respects simultaneously) requires more explanation.
I use tags and then the * character in the address bar to search my bookmarks.
OK I see your points, still, a personal opinion (he disgusted me) is not an attack. The real world is not off topic. And using violent words like "hijack" to describe an online conversation seems to me inadequate.
Hear hear! I had heard the name but had no idea why until he was murdered on Twitter and shortly after busted for being casually criminal in a predictably misogynistic way, as a mere facet of his total worthlessness.

May all our encounters with influencer douchebags be so brief and yet satisfying.
There definitely are energetically wasteful ones.

Although aside from the baseline things like refrigeration and plumbing, a lot of them aren't real conveniences, they're just traditions that evolved as displays of wealth. I wouldn't call nonnative lawns or large houses(Aside from maybe people with kids) or not being able to repeat an outfit within the same week or two convenient.

Some of them might be hedonistic in some way, but a lot of things that make pollution are pretty high effort.
it implies a product, like a repl for log4j, to me. So the lazy says, i'm not using log4jshell, so i'm good.
chatGPT doesn't have any active connection to the Internet. Any kind of price data it gives is either stale or completely made up.
I believe it's mostly because next-auth was the previous package name, which is still in use, so it needs to get migrated over to @auth/next or similar.
I just tried it -- I couldn't figure out how to save directly, but I could save the page as a PDF to Files and then from Files share it to Books.

... and pissed away $193M when they missed/crashed into Mars because a US made spacecraft was using metric units while US-ground control was using Imperial (ironic because I thought we fought a Revolution to get out from under the Empire). By the 1990s when that loss occurred, there was no scientific or business reason for the US space program to be using Imperial units: except maybe in press releases that no one read. Generations of machine tools, dies, moulds and instruments have come and gone since the 1970s push for metrification. It's all about as rational as people insisting on only buying incandescent light bulbs. Oh wait.
Well the team obviously wasn't thinking about a lot of things.

But it had nothing to do with an open channel. Everyone was literally sitting next to each other. But my point at the end was that it doesn't solve anything because nobody even thinks to ask in the first place.
I once got an unsolicited donation that was larger than my lifetime earnings...

The sender didn't reply to messages.

I really wasn't sure what to do. And without a document saying it was a gift from the sender, I had to give half away as taxes, and then there was no possibility of returning it (I wouldn't be able to reclaim the taxes).
When word of my XP based grading system got out I had lots of interviews with different TV stations. Most notable RTL which is a German kinda trashy TV station and I had a chat with the producer assigned with my story.

To my amazement he disallowed hits children the TV entirely because he states it was only trash and no good for a developing mind.

I had to try hard not to laugh when his station was a heavy part of the problem in the German speaking world
It would help to read the FAQ of the services you are using.
This comment reminds me of a great article I read ages ago and had to track down. When you're deeply focused in one area, you're most keenly aware of all the aspects of that area that you aren't an expert in. For example, I consider myself to be a complete novice at relational DBs, but from the perspective of your example truck driving, drilling, construction working, mechanic, I might as well be an expert. I guess it's important to keep in mind the scope domains that you're considering for any given situation.

Yes, good call out. Important to note here.

Here is bit more information on the lovely custom of the “boy bishop,” which has made a return in some places, both Roman Catholic and Anglican: https://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2022/12/the-feast-of-c... (Under the “Customs” heading.)

An amusing detail from the article: “Originally the custom was meant to foster vocations to the priesthood by giving youngsters a taste of liturgical officiating, but once it moved to within the Twelve Days of Christmas, it became linked with more riotous topsy-turvy customs like the Feast of the Ass or the Lord of Misrule. In an effort to put an end to this nonsense, Church authorities decided to move the custom to the feast of St. Nicholas on December 6, safely out of the way of the Christmas mayhem. The plan, however, backfired. Instead of stemming abuses, it prolonged them: the Boy Bishop would now preside from December 6 to December 28.”
A lot of people in this post thread defending some that's illegal and immoral just because they realize that doing what is right is expensive and inconvenient.

That's a human being for you.
I don't like when color pickers have a square area, it looks confusing. If you have a triangle it's probably clearer, for example with hwb one corner is for white, another for black, another for the pure color. It works for other 3D color models like hsl https://caub.github.io/color-wheel/build/
I watched a bunch of his "Hustler's University" thing on youtube. It was a really entertaining mix of alright business advice mixed in with what sounded like incitement to commit fraud (And I'm not a lawyer so don't quote me on this). It's mostly bereft of making any misogynistic comments or anything like that which he's known for otherwise.

I'll give him one thing, he is a pretty entertaining showman, I just would like to remind people that a ton of what he says probably would make a lawyer balk. He has a whole section about doing shit that makes you money first and caring about legal later which is especially insane.

Oh yeah and then there's that video of him hitting a girl with a belt. Yeah, don't do shit like that.
So I am tempted to flag this submission because I don't really think HN is the place but I want to make sure I am using the flag feature correctly. Can any more experienced HN user weigh in? Is flagging for articles you don't want to see on HN or is it more reserved for spam/ inaccuracies?
Yeah I was surprised to see him mentioned on a site dedicated, IMO, to startups & tech & interesting discussions.
I also recommend other books by Brian Christan, especially the Alignment Problem.
I’ve found TreeSheets to be the best tool for popping up on screen to help a team talk through something.

There is something about quickly making tables of tables and inserting new rows/columns that just fits with how people think and see things visually. And there’s something natural to the editing.

Need a list? Make a cell with a single column table in it. Then need to prioritise? Add another column with an order. And so on. It feels a lot like throwing up things on a whiteboard.
> The fact that Log4j is a project under the Apache foundation has practically zero bearing regarding Log4Shell. What relevance do you think Apache has here? Apache isn't a software development organization, it's a dev community umbrella organization.

I am not sure how to make my point any clearer.

They have the same incentive as with supporting mac with react-native-macos, more platforms to push their services onto. The limitation seems to be technical, as other react-native on QT projects seem to have been all abandoned (Valence Native being the big one mentioned on react-native docs).
His daughter Lisa's mother had to take him to court to prove paternity before he took responsibility despite her clearly being his.
The number of screen types has increased since I was a child in the 90’s. We only had TVs. Now kids are exposed to phones, tablets, games and watches in addition to the tv. So many opportunities and so many more channels as a parent I need to block or watch out for.
I hope this police officer has lost his job.

He has clearly lost sight of who he works for.

Oh, and what a surprise, all of the people he is threatening are people of color.
> That's actually consistent,

Not consistent with any program I know onWindows, Linux, macOS, or even ye olde Macintosh System Software, unless you count spreadsheet programs that are trying to be more like Excel.

Not even consistent inside Excel, because there are many edit fields that default to "evil mode" (my personal feeling about "insert cell references when arrows keys are pressed, and disable Undo", while some default to "normal text editing mode", and some cannot be placed in "evil mode".

I'd like a visual indicator on or adjacent to the text box, and setting to force it to default to one mode or the other.

>not sure how much inspiration to a small kid a SpaceX launch is, but i know exactly how much the shuttle was.

From what I've seen, it sounds like many kids these days feel the same way about SpaceX launches now as you did about the shuttle (incredibly inspiring). I hope that's reassuring.
> You've read Tate's tweet? What goes around comes around.

No, and it's not really relevant to what I'm saying.

> BTW small dick energy dies say anything about the real size, it just has the same kind of energy

These are the arguments I hear. "It doesn't actually mean you have a small dick, just that you're petty and unimportant, like the people who have small dicks".
This!

Net 30 is how a lot of Switzerland operates. You can buy all kinds of things - as a consumer - on a "pay later" basis. Flights, groceries, appliances, insurance, you name it. It's a level of trust that's pretty unusual in other countries, though you can bet they'll keep chasing you (and there is a national debt register). QR codes have replaced paying in slips, but they'll send you the code in a letter/PDF and you have a month to pay.

But from the industry side. At the big corp level this is all handled by some CRM/Oracle/IBM/SAP system and once things have been approved by whatever chain of people need to sign off, the payments are automatically sent out. The flip side is that if someone hasn't approved something, or they're waiting for paperwork unbeknownst to you, you have to wait until they do another run. So you have to nag them. The people who bought the thing from you are probably not the people who will actually pay you.
Right, that’s the word I was looking for!

However, my, perhaps incomplete, recollection of famous provocateurs of the past was centered around acts like Salvador Dali walking around with his anteater, rather than a misogynist kickboxer ranting about “weak men”.

No, but they are also not off materially worse because of the tax deductions and when played smart time wise these can actually lead to advantages. Note that Gates & co have a small army of tax lawyer who are very good at this and for Bill gates buying himself a reputation whitewash at the taxpayers expense definitely makes him 'better off' just maybe not in a pure financial sense.
In my career I often found myself thrown into a situation where I have no expertise whatsoever. That was always a little anxiety inducing.

How is this white midwesterner who knows only English going to handle displaying Japanese ruby text in epubs? Or implement the epub table of contents (TOC) for vertical Japanese? I didn't even know Japanese ruby existed before the task of implementing it landed in my lap.

Thanks top the web, googling, and a few coworkers with a little expertise (and CoreText on Mac OS) was how. I am by no means an expert now in Japanese ruby, or even CoreText, but I love how I am a lot less ignorant about these things too.

Ignorant of PDF until I was told to support it more deeply in Cocoa (Mac OS).

Ignorant of color theory and color management until I was pulled into the ColorSync team.

Ignorant of image metadata, XMP, or even XML parsers until image metadata support also landed in my lap.

Display prefs, display calibrator, Common Cartridge.... It's funny how many things land in your lap when you are a kind of "gofer" for your team, ha ha.

Each time, as I said, I felt disoriented, anxious, worried I would be able to implement the feature. But after so many weeks of struggling, and eventual success, I have come to treasure those experiences.
I was hoping this was programming languages.
That is widely ahistorical claim. Historical gender roles were as political as current and as much reaction to material life as now. Also, the roles of women and men different between social classes, periods and places, sometimes very widely.

In particular, upper middle class and riches are minority of population. Poor are most frequent ... and their women work for money unless it is illegal ... and it is illegal purely because of politics and feeling of propriety, nothing material.

And also, the small farms mean that everyone working in home, at field and with animals ... men do physically demanding work tho more. There is gender split, but not between "crummy home" and "work". The household produces a lot of what they need - candles, fabric for cloth, you name it. There are some gender exclusive areas and then a lot of basically work that needs to be done.

Or, in mining areas, men die young. They earn more then women, but they live without sun and die and then you have women having to earn for them and children - that is where some of the crafts come from.

There is some kind of patriarchy most of the time, but in some periods and places women actually can earn money, own stuff, do business in their own name. That not being fully case in 1950 America is purely result of politics. That not being case in Saudi Arabia is purely gender ideology and politics, nothing to do with anything material.
I’m deeply in love with “webpage” now being called a “microsite” of course at double the cost.
To record "bookmarks" for interesting sections of podcast episodes (that I want to revisit some time later), I use my own (Android-only) app called "Stop It!" [0]. The mechanism that creates a bookmark is to pause and immediately unpause the playback (works with any headset). For each bookmark, the app records the audio player's Android package name, the artist / album / track name, the time code (in seconds) and other meta-data (if available). For selected audio players, the user can resume playback for bookmarks at a later time.

I have not worked on the app for a while, because it (still) works on my (old) Sony Android phone.
