I really like KDE but one thing that saddens me is the state of the office stuff - like KMail, KOrganizer, Desktop Search etc.pp - there was an ambitious project called Nepomuk for Semantic Desktop and that failed 10 years ago? And the Backend launches a full MySQL at the moment - I hope someday all of this will be streamlined get's an UI update and a fast database i.e. https://github.com/cozodb/cozo and the features will come back. Also KMail needs some usability improvements...

If this stuff would work and not crash adding calendars/todo-lists in the ui would hopefully work and the original ideas and research concepts could be implemented in a fast an good way.

Well, one can dream :)
Way to go ending up on HN while I'm out of country. Luckily the little 286 that could is still talking to me.
The short answer, unless I'm mistaken, is that the trial didn't measure the effectiveness of colonoscopies. It measured the effectiveness of being invited to have a colonoscopy. That plus "ten years of follow-up is a relatively short period of time for colorectal-cancer development", per a source in the article.
In the early internet, where every device has a public IP and the only firewall is the one you should've set up, multicast penetrated through all networks and a single packet stream could be subscribed to from anywhere, replicated across the internet.

These days, only IPv6 capable networks (so half of the web or so) satisfy the necessary requirements for such a system and internet multicast has wisely been turned off for the enormous DDoS/bandwidth waste it implies.

This mechanism is still used on some TV networks, though, especially digital ones that come over fiber. There is a single stream of packets generated to send to all subscribers that the subscriber devices can then subscribe to with the proper network config. This is often accomplished through IGMP and other such multicast protocols.

As for sending a single broadcast stream out, that's exactly what online streaming services do. A 30mbps Twitch stream with a million viewers doesn't require you to get a data center's worth of internet capacity at home; instead, you upload a single stream to your favourite service and that service replicates the stream for you. You can set up such a system yourself if you want to stream from home, have a cloud server with good internet, but only cable or DSL upload speeds through somerhing as simple as nginx with RTMP enabled.
Not only that, but all these naïve restrictions artists want to impose on machine learning would end up being awful for everyone except huge corporations.
Hopefully more to come. They ran all the games on Linux right? Linux gaming could take a step forward with the experience generated at Google and other studios that were porting the games.
Public school wasn't a choice.
Transit isn't plagued by those here either, but a tiny minority gets a lot of attention.
Perhaps because they think the US government should practice what it preaches? It remains a mystery to me why so many people aspire to be no better than their enemies.
"Controlled leaks," a provocative way of saying releases ;)
While the headline was imperfect, the article had the key piece up-front: someone submitted a bill with this premise. That was enough for my needs.

If the community is interested in the topic, typically the comments point to more germane information, backstory, and other data that supports/refutes what an article says. That's a healthy behavior, and it's why online communities remain popular.
I mean, in the case of multiplayer probably a lot comes out in the wash of optimistic updates and such, but it’s still very playable and I couldn’t personally notice the lag most of the time. Occasionally when my connection got bad it would have issues, but that was more noticeable because the resolution dropped significantly.
Well, it seems to me that none electronic outcomes tends to be slower and harder to copy at scale like digital material, doesn't it?
Some other website linking to your website. The general premise is that if other sites with some known reputation are linking to you, you have a bit more credibility than a completely isolated site that nobody else references.
Different locales have different prices. I think they are reselling keys purchased in these places.
Because for most people that's a stupid thing to say.

Supply chain attacks are very rare still (especially ones that aren't just typo squatting), and auditing all dependencies (which is I assume what you meant) is ridiculously time consuming and unreliable.

This small problem can 90% be solved through tool support, automated scanning and library sandboxing (which admittedly is not really supported by any languages yet - at least not without a lot of hoop jumping).
I don't know if they are the best alternative, but I have been using Kobo for over a decade. In that time, they have not shown any intererest in locking down their devices. That is not to say they are easy to modify, but they do not use encryption (or any other mechanism) to lock people out of their devices[1]. Anyone with a knowledge on unix and an update file can figure out how to modify the software. The community has also been making binary patches to Kobo's proprietary components for about a decade, and they don't seem to be interested in preventing that either. Some models even have replacable internal uSD cards, should you want to increase the storage.

The last Kobo I bought has never been online and runs open source reader software (KOReader) which is much more powerful than any commercial alternative I have seen.

There are other options out there that likely have similar qualities. I simply have not used them. I simply wanted to point out that there are much more open platforms out there.

[1] I am talking about device level access here. Kobo does use DRM for purchased books and books borrowed through libraries.
> LOCKSS, for Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe

I've opined here many times that a lot of stuff is not digitized because it is too expensive to do a professional job, so just use your phone camera to take a snap of each page. (I've done this, it works great.)

That's about 15 seconds a page, and requires no expertise and no equipment other than a phone.

I'm always surprised at the horrified reaction people have to this. In my not-so-humble-opinion, a less than perfect photo is far superior to the museum burned it all up in a fire. Like the Hewlett Packard museum.
In my experience, after 1000 votes, the rating has converged to its final value.

Has anyone been able to get OpenAI to increase their rate limit for Codex (code-davinci-002)?

I have a somewhat related service https://aidev.codes but I have to default to using text-davinci-003 instead because the code-davinci-002 rate limit is very small (10-20 requests per minute).

I have been trying to contact their support about it for a month without any response.
I was skeptical on cloud gaming, but I also tried GeForce Now and had a great experience. No time spent downloading and installing, instant access to thousands of games, playable on older laptop without fans spinning up. I do think you need a solid internet connection for it to work well.
It's possible that people are getting better at committing crimes at a faster rate than police are getting better at solving crimes. Maybe if we teleported today's average police department to the 1800s, the % of cleared homicides would be 100%. Who knows.
Probably sold off from Microsoft for startups programs, volume keys, or the like.

They might work for some time, and then may stop working.
I think the team over there are proud of what they built, was a lot of new ground so I don't blame them.
Maybe there is a retrocommission program to which they are affiliated?

Hi Everyone,

I made an app to make it easy to make plans with friends, clients, and neighbors.

True story:
I used to be a Country Club Tennis Coach, we used expensive club management software similar to Unwynd to organize club events, and it was a lifesaver. Unwynd is basically the personal version of a club management system.

Fun fact: For 10 years, I helped hundreds of people bond through tennis, and saw the power of bonding over shared activities firsthand. I even met my wife on the court! Now I want to extend that to a bunch of other activities and to millions of people!

Check it out, share your feedback (the good, the bad and the ugly), and help spread the word by sharing it with friends / family who you wanna hang out with more (or who you think might benefit from Unwynd).

How you can have fun using Unwynd:

Plan Parties: Save time and energy planning medium to large size parties. Don’t open the can of worms by texting. Any details you want to share are easily visible. Invites to new users are sent via sms or a shared link and Unwynd users get push notification that pulls them straight to the activity to rsvp.

Weekly Events are Easy: Super useful for any size event if it happens regularly. You can do one invite one time for dozens of activities. Each upcoming activity will automatically send out invites and get your RSVP list every week. Perfect for weekly meetings, team practices, and fun get-togethers. For me it is hitting the golf simulator on Wednesdays or playing tennis on Thursdays.

Public Activities: You can also share activities publicly (we haven't added distance filtering so activities can be from anywhere). I can’t wait until I can go on vacation and make a post for beach volleyball and then go hit it with locals. You can switch from private to public anytime, so if you can't get enough friends to play you can fill your group with locals.

Thank you for checking out Unwynd, I cannot wait to hear your thoughts!

Tourist tax. Like when you check-in to your hotel they ask you to pay 15 euro.
Not that I recall, but I found it much less readable personally.
There is no such thing as a total or less than total shadow ban. If you are visible with anyone with a direct link you aren't shadow banned it

Bubble ban is also poor verbiage because not appearing in anyone's feed or search results is the default condition not inherently a punishment or redaction.

A search is inherently a selection process and it's perfectly valid to say some content isn't fit to appear anywhere in a listing.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but:

$ sudo /bin/sh -c su -

It's never useful to deny certain commands to a user if that user is allowed to open a shell. Any shell. So you probably want to change that first line to

(ALL : ALL) NOEXEC: ALL

and provide a whitelist for all tools that do spawn children as part of their normal operation (such as apt, dpkg, and probably half of all unix tooling).
Agree, and KDE 5 is KDE 3.5, modern for me. Latest version of KDE 4 were already pretty good.
I actually found the lag and compression artifacts between my Mac and gaming PC (which are connected by cable to the same switch) using the Steam remote play thing to be actually worse than Stadia.
Not GP, but I was also KDE3 user who ran away after the KDE4 (in my eyes) fiasco. I never went back because customizing and learning to use a desktop environment is an investment on my side, and if the DE doesn't respect that and doesn't understand why I use it, I will not waste my time with it. But hearing the praise in this thread, maybe I should give KDE another chance?

I went to Gnome for a while but never felt at home there, too many weird (to me) ux decisions. I finally settled on Xfce and it works great. Nothing fancy, it just does its job.
More than likely it they used some kind of proprietary communication stack for latency reasons or some such.

Other reasons may include:

- not having to deal with supporting other controllers on stadia

- not having to support their controller on other platforms

Not that it's defunct, they don't really have to deal with support aspect of things, and this is just a good will gesture so the controllers aren't paperweights.
.deb packages…
They’re probably student OEM keys provided to schools in poorer countries, which is the cheapest price Microsoft will sell a copy of Windows. They might work as keys but are not legitimate when used in the wrong country for the wrong purpose, so you might find odd limitations imposed now or later.

Threads like this read like EVs are double or more the weight of an ICE car.

EVs are a couple hundred pounds heavier in average than an equivalent ICE car. In terms of road wear, it's still a rounding error compared to industrial trucks.
>some kind of proprietary communication stack for latency reasons

It was in fact directly using Wi-Fi because of latency.
Yes, and there's also bold (𝛑), bold italic (𝝅), sans-serif bold (𝝿), and sans-serif bold italic (𝞹), all distinct from the run-of-the-mill Greek Small Letter Pi (π) which is often rendered quite differently from the "standard mathematical pi" in addition to, of course, being semantically different. There's a lot of fun stuff in the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block (https://unicode-table.com/en/blocks/mathematical-alphanumeri...)

> In terms of privacy, Android is "compromised" by default, i.e. Google collects and stores a ton of private information about you.

Apple also does the same. Also, this only applies if you're running an Android device "out-of-the-box". Fortunately, there exist AOSP forks that mitigate this type of intrusion (e.g. GrapheneOS).
Ah, got it. I think I mostly avoid the problem by looking for small ways to test the value hypothesis.
I don't think you can say "completely fair" just because it's legal. Fairness invokes morality which is often something stricter than the law.
>It's not unthinkable that artists will be paid licensing fees for AI-regurgitated copies of their art, too.

Then companies will just clean-room the thing by getting tens of thousands of developing world artists to draw things and generate training data. Combined with all the works out of copyright and those bought from existing licensors will get you probably the same quality models. That costs money but so does GPT-3 and look where we are. There is no getting the cat back in the bag, it's five blocks away with a rocket strapped to it's back.
Two things: They were never locked the same way your PS4 wasn't you could connect it wired and use it just fine as a regular controller. The second thing is that the stadia controllers used wifi as their source of connection over bluetooth, for various reasons Google said it allowed better latency with how they set up stadia.

So they're adding the ability to connect from bluetooth with this. In the same way before Sony added driver support to Dualshock controllers on PC, you couldn't use them wirelessly. They're not really "locked" more than the bluetooth support just wasn't there.
I have no take on Velma, but “Be Cool, Scooby Doo” is perhaps the best of all the more recent iterations of the show. Good writing.
This are my feelings as well. Also race to the bottom for proprietary OSes includes much worse things such as them increasingly becoming what I would call spyware. The trands in closed OSes are terrible.
Because the better the resale, the nicer the car you can afford to replace it. Most new cars are kept for 3 years and traded in, (or leased) so the better the resale the more money to put into your next car. Or if you lease the less your lease will be.

Those who buy used cars keep their cars longer, and are willing to pay more for a car they think will last longer.
I’ve had the same experience. I could not tell the latency for GeForce now, and I’m using a municipal ISP.

I’m not really a casual gamer either. I’m still surprised that GeForce now doesn’t have an app for Linux. I switch to my Mac laptop to play stuff like Fortnite.
>Imagine your daily commute is 115 km (e.g. Roeselare-Brussel) and you can’t charge at the office. Then you need 230km realistic daily range, and probably more like 300km. The only cars that come near that, are the Volvo EX90 or the BMW i7. Those are not cheap cars.

Realistic daily range is a bullshit phrase that assumes you will never have access to a fast charger. I understand realistic range, e.g. you can not go as far in cold, and daily range, e.g. you need to go 230km every day. I'm calling out how a combination of the two terms somehow excludes the ability to refuel when needed on that 230km commute. If you're going to be realistic, be realistic.
See e.g. Ian Osband's work (he calls it 'risk' VS 'uncertainty' for some good examples that help in differentiating this: https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&h...
Good point. For daily long range commute EVs are not the best option right now. Even if you add some charge midway, it still takes 20–30 minutes, so not ideal.

(Saying that, if gas prices are a major concern then EVs could still be the preferred choice.)
I've bought some friends this type of key. Sometimes you have to call Microsoft and they give you a different key (via an automated system). That's what I've had to do each time I've used this type of key. (I learned this from changing too much hardware at once on a retail key. Completely automated phone number. Solves the problem 100% of the time. I don't know what they're up to or what the business model is.)
Crime is one of the most important voting issues.
Republicans had a resurgence in NYC because of it.
Ask HN: Who gets the delivery fee on food ordering apps and why?
If you are driving an hour both ways every day in a cold climate, yeah, EV probably isn't the right fit for another couple of years. It's also an extreme end of usage. I imagine that a large portion of those people in a rural community don't drive more than 60 miles a day. It is also why the average commute per a person is not 125 miles but substantially less in the US.

For reference, 125 miles is about Louisville, KY to Indianapolis, IN.
That has to be the result of a coordinated down-voting campaign.

USA has it too. Amazon Software Engineers can't keep their 401K company match if they leave the company before completing 3 years of service.
Kate has the best VI command emulator out there bar none and got a lot more usable for a lot of stuff when it added LSP support.

It doesn’t even work with pi.
Amazon Glacier. The price is just too good.
I have an experiment related to that which seemed to mostly work. What I did was give it the project dir listing first along with the request and ask which files it needed. The other part of it was to give it a specific format to list the file updates with their file name first.

What I will probably actually do when I get a chance for aidev.codes is use OpenAIs embeddings with a vector search for relevant snippets for the prompt context. Or possibly use the gpt-index project which I think does that for me.
As my wife keeps pointing out to me when I incessantly point out that “people on the internet are wrong about copyright”… who cares? The courts certainly don’t.
You could equally conclude that one of the reasons that very few people used it was because of the input lag.
Not the same, but similar enough: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26639261.
Still been playing stadia all this week and will continue until it closes, such a shame, nothing like the service!
> All this surveillance, and somehow police continue getting worse at solving crimes

Be careful with this line of thinking.

"cleared" generally means either an arrest was made (not a conviction) or they would've made an arrest but weren't able to (i.e. suspect died). A drop of a clearance rate just means it dropped. It only means cops in the past arrested people more often not that they actually arrested (or convicted) the correct people.
"KDE is my desktop of choice. I feel like it captures the spirit of computing in the Windows 9x era."

I was trying to find the right words to describe why I prefer KDE over other DE's but this captures my feelings perfectly.
Where "most people" is just the few people who actually used it? So basically, most people who like [unpopular thing] think that [reason that thing is unpopular] isn't a problem.

It didn't reach mainstream adoption because most people who care about games didn't think it was a good deal and input lag was a big part of the reason why. And people who don't care about games... didn't care about Stadia for obvious reasons. The target demo for Stadia was basically people who have a mild interest in gaming but not enough of an interest to already own hardware suitable for running games themselves. That was never going to be a profitable niche.
You said it yourself: they're carrying a disproportionate amount of their team's output. If the amount is disproportionate, something is screwed up. I suppose they might not be sandbagging. They could be overqualified and simply not realize that they're capable of doing harder work. Or it could be a breakdown in management.

My hope is simply that salaries being transparent will have a regularizing effect on the wildly disparate salaries between careers. Either software engineer salaries should come down or other salaries should come up. Other careers and professions which are (IMO) more valuable to society are experiencing brain drain because of this discrepancy.
> If they are guilty, any other jail in the country would work perfectly

In theory you are 100% correct. In practice this would require authorization from Congress, and would never get passed for fear of having to campaign against "So-and-so put terrorists in your backyard." It's a perverse NIMBYism.
For sure, I've back the money for my Chromecast+stadia controller a month ago, whit this update both will still be useful, after the shutdown.
Interestingly there has been a parallel conversation with EVs since money for road maintenance typically comes through gasoline taxes. The idea being that the more you use the more you pay (more driving == more gas, heavier vehicles == lower mpg, etc).
None of this stuff makes any sense to me. New kids are born every day. My 9 year old watched Tom & Jerry for the first time a few months ago and loved it. It’s an evergreen market.

I cannot fathom how these companies aren’t making money showing cartoons that were made 60 years ago. Everyone’s dead who made them, presumably they own the rights. If they don’t want them on their platforms, put them on YouTube and promote them.
I thought it was keleven...
OCRing individual screenshots is not "easy to copy."

Most people who pirate (books, software, music, whatever) won't bother to go to such extreme lengths. Stuff like this obviously doesn't make piracy impossible, but it does substantially reduce it.
