From your own article :

"Due to a law dating from 1872 at the start of the Third Republic, France has prohibited the collection of data on a citizens race, ethnicity or their beliefs such as religion through national censuses,[47][48] however estimates have been made of the ethnic and racial demography of the country in the present"

We're talking estimation as it is indeed illegal, no matter how crazy it may sound like. Estimation is highly dependant on who's doing the estimation, and for what purpose, and as you can see in the article itself, the topic is highly controversial among specialist.

Now, if you were living in france for the past 40 years, and had regularely travelled across the country, you would see that in that particular case, the situation is very obvious, and the only circle left still debating the issue is demographic specialists.

Politicians and media used to deny the issue and flagged anyone mentioning it as racist, but things have recently changed and we finally start talking about it like grown ups.
> The OP is talking about why these kinds of things exist.

No they are not:

>jails are powerful in all the wrong ways. . . . This is what corrupted power looks like. . . . Police departments are often the same.

The article talks about prisons scanning mail. The OP then says that prisons are corrupt, then throws in that by the way, police departments are too.

OP's opinion about police department corruption has nothing to do with the article about prison mail.

It would be simple for me. I would refuse to go to your restaurant because dealing with multiple systems is too much work for my feeble mind. And my wife tells me I'm better with math than the common person.

Your system is better. But it's special. Special is bad because I don't like having to do things X different ways for X different restaraunts. I would rather pay a little more and not have to remember the quarks of your restaurant. I am also just trained to tip so I will feel icky leaving your restaurant no matter if you are paying them a fair amount already.

So if you charge more money to include the tip I will still feel obliged to tip anyway and I will leave with the experience your restaurant is too expensive and not come back. In short I think you've done the right thing. Don't fight the mob, embrace it.

I've just started exploring Wine, trying to get Windows tools working on it, and finding (with wine-5 and wine-7) that there is some slowdown (~250ms), but can't narrow it down exactly to what causes it.

It's similar times, whether it's WSL, or under crostini (chromebook), and unfortunately in both I either don't have full `perf` support, but do have `strace` working and it kind of shows that `user32` tries to load lots of fonts (but still hard to say for sure).

Wonder if someone here would know and can pin-point me how to debug this easier?

At some point, they are human, and if you've ever spent any time even volunteering around the "system" you would begin to understand exactly how wrong, and how utterly heartless this kind of thinking is. How we treat the helpless defines our humanity.
I think AsciiDoc is a good choice, but it does suffer from the single author ecosystem problem (effectively one maintainer). If the ecosystem were to jump to MarkDown, I have a feeling they'd just make the doc system pluggable eventually and we could sub in AsciiDoc in the future.
Honestly it seems to me that Putin is mentally much closer to using nuclear weapons in his offensive war than Krushchev was in his perceived defense of Cuba in 1962.

The likelihood of an accidental nuclear launch was definitely higher then (e.g. by a submarine commander misinterpreting the situation). But I do think the likelihood of an intentional nuclear strike is substantially higher today. Some Russian decision makers seem to believe they could get away with a tactical strike. And then there's North Korea.

I assume at some point, ChatGPT needs some kind of text ranking. Popular texts are usually correct (content and presentation) and useful, so they should rank higher. At some point, low-quality texts are filtered out. Personally, I don't care if a text is written by a human or a machine as long as it's good.
> That's... a take. It sounds like you don't personally believe in property rights

I allege that this is a take. It's possible to believe in property rights while also understanding that human desperation drives people to theft. The vast majority of people resorting to thievery were driven to it because of the circumstances of their life, not because they're doing it for kicks. In a battle between property rights and human rights, at some point human rights takes precedence. You don't need to go Full Communism, you just need to acknowledge that desperate societies are not polite or prosperous societies.
I certainly didn't mean to insult your intelligence!

I just don't see how a grinchy investor squeezing a company for more layoffs counts as a story about which there is anything surprising. HN has had hundreds of posts and many major discussions (surely dozens by now) about layoffs at tech companies. Once a topic has gotten that level of coverage, follow-up posts need to contain significant new information* in order to count as on topic. This is just standard HN moderation.

If this investor actually got Google to lay off a bunch more people and there was evidence showing this, I suppose that might be interesting... maybe. But sending a letter? How is that a significant story?

> They receive shipments of 1000s from corps, who don't bother to remove the ownership.

They received shipments that the corporations thought were /destroyed/, likely legally required for compliance purposes, and they are participating in a fraud that violates compliance regulations by attempting to recycle rather than destroy these systems. The reason they don't want to contact the corporations to remove the activation lock is because the company doesn't know the systems were not destroyed, which is a quote from the person interviewed, in the fine article, which I read and clearly comprehended more than you.

This is a business participating in fraud and assisting people who steal electronics and they are upset that their business model has been disrupted. Good. Fuck them.

No, the mortgage rates are fixed for 30 years. So any LL that bought when rates were 3% continues to pay that for 30 years even if rates rise to 7%. That's why being a landlord works out much better than a renter.

And if you do buy when rates are high you can also refi when rates fall.

(Edit: This is in the US; adjustable mortgage rates are more common in other countries)

Assuming your end goal with prison is to spit out a member of society at the end, not just a harder, worse criminal, cutting off all their ties to people they know really isn't a great thing to do. There's a big difference between a handwritten letter and a picture on a screen to a person who wants to get out and try again at making something of themselves. Of course if all you want is more criminal activity from them then making their only physical contact other criminals is a great plan.

MSFT already said their top Activision-published titles would also be available on PlayStation

Fortunately, big companies never lie to regulators in order to get their way, then turn right around and do whatever they want, sometimes paying a meager fine and reaping billions.

Neither Sony nor Microsoft should be trusted to do what's best for the consumer. After all, there's no shortage of people on HN who will tell you with a straight face that it's the companys' obligation to do whatever it takes to make money for themselves and their shareholders. It usually comes along with some pithy statement like "Microsoft is not a charity."
Absolutely this - I was completely blown away by the technology since it was a long long childhood dream for me (to fly or control something flying remotely).

I've flown the thing off the top of the volcano (at 3000 meters), and in heavy wind and clouds and was amazed how stable it is, how easy you can fly one and the 4k video it generates is breathtaking.

One thing I still want for this is to remove 500m ceiling and being able to pierce the clouds fast - not sure if this is possible anywhere since it's probably dangerous and illegal, but that would complete my childhood dream I think (short of actually learning to fly a real small plane or a glider).
I did. I found a bunch of papers by him, none of them relevant. Another user's comment makes it seem like there are papers of his cited in his book. By the time I saw that though, I'd gotten tired of trying to find evidence that the author of the article should have at least given basic information on how to find.

If he wants to make these claims, he needs to cite the evidence.
Saw that, and yea, that's totally a fall-back cop-out type answer.
I was pretty much just questioning everyone dismissing the whole category of answers like the R script one.

To me there does seem to be some nuance to here that's worth noticing. Some examples of this type of response are indeed too cheap and can be chalked up to lack of training data or something.

But in other cases it's actually not immediately obvious whether the answer the user got was their fault for not specifying that they are expecting code that works without additional supporting libraries.

A language model can't reasonably be expected to understand an expectation of usability or fitness for purpose in a context the user didn't specify.

Copying my comment from another thread because that is relevant.

Do you rent? If yes, how much does rent have to increase before you decide, "Ah yes, I would much rather be homeless, but at least I am voting with my wallet, that will show the greedy landlords not to raise rents!"

I personally cannot think of a limit at which I would decide to be homeless. I would much rather have a home to live in than buy any food beyond what sustains me, or get new clothes, or go out for any entertainment reasons. I believe I am not the only one in this. Thus, from a purely economic perspective, the landlord in these cases are "leaving money on the table", i.e. they could capture more of my surplus income if rents happened to increase in a coordinated fashion. Unfortunately, there is nothing in Econ 101 which tells you why that would be bad or unsustainable (social unrest etc.) and thus these concepts will be hard to grasp for people who do not have to live this life.

Victim isn't the right word because none of it is accidental. It's intentional design dating all the way back to 13th amendment which states.

"The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. "

My brother in law was released recently from 12+ years of incarceration in the federal system. His crime was armed robbery, first offense, no one was injured, and he profited a grand total of $35,000.

He spent 12 years doing slave labor for a $1.25 while being charged absorbent fees to make phone calls, send emails (something like $5 for 10 minutes), and purchase the daily necessities like deodorant and medicine. After 12 years, he still owes reparation where even if he was paid a bare minimum wage he could have easily repaid his debt to society.

The US has the largest number of incarnated adults in the developed world because our government and capitalism demands it be so. We are a society whose engine has always been driven by slave labor. Until I was exposed to it in this manner, I would have been a "who cares do the crime pay the price" but that price extends so far, impacts everyone in a prisoners family even if they did no crime, and sets them up for failure when reentering the world.

None of it is accidental, all the way down to stubborn insistence on impeding criminal reform around drugs and petty crime to the prison industrial complex being the single biggest contributor to anti-pot reform pacs and advertising.

Companies make billions over charging and exploiting convicts in every conceivable way right down to sheriffs feeding them trash and keeping the delta in the food budget to buy themselves homes and luxuries.
Ask HN: Isn't it time for a new AI acronym?
Having been interested in AI for decades, "AI" to me has always meant "human-level machine intelligence", aka "strong AI".

When the term "ML" started to become popular, I felt it was more like "data collection" than "learning". ML seemed a far cry from developing a machine that could learn and be taught, like humans can learn and be taught.

Now with the problem of ChatGPT's reputation for spewing out unreliable nonsense, it seems we need a new acronym for that flavor of AI. Perhaps "FAI", for Fake Artificial Intelligence?

Property rights are human rights.

I have a human right to be secure in my person and personal effects, and a human right to enforce that security against transgressors.
I don't see the incrementing integer ID's as a "bad convention". It's a simple and intuitive solution that works for most apps. Its ok to be "guessable". You should set permissions properly regardless of how random your ID's are.

I have been thinking of something a bit more on the middle. Since there are already useful service APIs, I would first try the following:

1. Describe a set of “tasks” (which map to APIs) and have GPT choose the ones it thinks will solve the user request.

2. Describe to GPT the parameters of each of the selected tasks, and have it choose the values.

3. (Optional) allow GPT to transform the results (assuming all the APIs use the same serialization)

4. Render the response in a frontend and allow the user to give further instructions.

5. Go to 1 but now taking into account the context of the previous response
How much compensation their workers received in 2021 depended heavily on what had recently happened to Google's stock, which was up ~2x. It could easily have not done that, in which case compensation would be lower. This makes 2021 a weird year, and comp was already going to be much lower in 2022 and 2023.

This does not reflect my experience at all. If you're using Unraid, there are common packages for it; and, if you're like me and don't trust those, you can run the NextCloud All In One Docker container to get it set up.

You can also run the NextCloud All-In-One Docker container just on a regular linux box and it'll work, as well. It is a central manager for a collection of docker containers that it starts up. Works great. I definitely encourage NextCloud.

If I add a robots.txt entry to deny them, they do appear to stop displaying the cached content but then if long after the original content is gone from my site if I also park the domain and forget to maintain the robots.txt entry the cached content starts showing again meaning they never actually got rid of it but rather paused displaying it.
