I think that most people would not care if a video is posted online of them if the video is in fact fake.

Would you care if someone posted a nude image of someone with your face photoshopped on it? If so, why?
If charging for API usage amounts to developer alienation, then why is Apple the most successful business in the world?

Frankly, I don't think Musk much cares for the developers. From a business perspective, he might be right here - developers aren't the ones watching ads or paying for microtransactions, users are. The developers, at his scale, are a liability. Restricting their capabilities and profiting from their struggle is just part of the modern tech stack. I hate it as much as you do, but calling it "insane" is a hysterical double-standard that crops up just too often on HN.

The act of people who weren't around to watch Seinfeld when it originally aired complaining that it's just so overdone, unfunny, unoriginal, tired, cliched, or just like other shows, is called the "Seinfeld is Unfunny" trope.

>"I don't know what the big deal with Hamlet is. It's just one famous saying after another, strung together by a moldy old plot." — Old Joke

>There are certain shows that you can safely assume most people have seen. These shows were considered fantastic when they first aired. Now, however, these shows have a Hype Backlash curse on them. Whenever we watch them, we'll cry, "That is so old" or "That is so overdone".

>The sad irony? It wasn't old or overdone when they did it, because they were the first ones to do it. But the things it created were so brilliant and popular, they became woven into the fabric of that show's genre. They ended up being taken for granted, copied and endlessly repeated. Although they often began by saying something new, they in turn became the new status quo. It's basically the inverse of a Grandfather Clause taken to a trope level: rather than being able to get away with something that is seen as overdone or out of style simply because it was the one that started it, people will unfairly disregard it because it got lost amidst its sea of imitations even though it paved the way for all those imitators. That is, a work retroactively becomes a Cliché Storm.

>There may be good reason for this. Whoever is first to do something isn't likely to be the best at it, simply because everyone that comes after is building on their predecessors' work.

Not to be confused with the act of thinking an old in-joke referencing a sub-culture was originally from that show (yada, yada, yada), which is called the "Seinfeld Effect" or the modern internet-meme related "Family Guy Effect".

In the 70s Ericsson programmed their telephone switches in a proprietary language called PLEX. It had hot code swapping, so when Joe Armstrong started working on Erlang to replace PLEX in the 80s this was a requirement. Dropping a few thousands of calls just to do an update simply wasn't an option.

It’s fair question, though as noted in another comment, I neither think Jimmy’s prefect, nor do I think everything he does is something I would be supportive of.

As for why I posted prior link, I could tell it was both significant to his development and also thought it was inspiring. I would hope anyone would be able to relate to value of being able to see, or imagine how hard it would be to not be able to see.

As for being a fan, I would not go that far, but I for sure would not mind having him as a friend since we both happen to have a lot of shared interests and believe some of the things he’s personally been impacted by I am able to relate to.

Shared interest include: Youtube, craftsmanship, showmanship, research & analytics, business, mass communication, positive impact on world, making friends, helping peers learn, nonprofits, helping strangers, learning, etc.
There's one more layer, though: making you believe the streets aren't safe and we're not arresting enough people is the actual point of all this. America already locks up four times as many people as most countries, to little purpose besides control and profit.

Outside of the Polish martial law I don’t think my family ever risked arrest for walking to a cake shop as kids.

Cannot comment on the USSR, but I highly doubt the authorities did that kind of thing either outside of, perhaps, the holodomor.

The best way to deal with this is non-compliance and there need to be technical solutions to deny such attempts.

One major factor that works against users is central authentication. Schemes like oauth2 might bring convenience and security in many cases, but will endanger net freedom overall.

Google just added age restriction on blogger. Result is that you need to provide Google with ID information to access some content. If more an more users elect to ID with their Google account you can see where it can lead. Naturally the EU wants to increase such schemes as well.

It just released a law (DSA) that allegedly to restrict the influence of tech giants. That their proposals will drive people into ID schemes of said tech companies is either an oversight or something worse. I would think it is the latter and giant tech companies are very glad about the behavior of the commission. Because they too tried get people to use their ID solutions.

Digital tech doesn't really prosper in the EU but certainly surveillance leveraging services of others.

The only defense against such laws is to make them technologically not feasible. While Google did many good things for net security, their compliance on topics that serve its self-interest is a danger. Same goes for other large tech companies.

That there is close collaboration between certain political elites and tech companies is pretty much a given. It was decried as a conspiracy theory until it was proven. Although it should be no surprise that there are such connections. Perhaps the influence of the EU commission is smaller, but I would not bet on it. Access to the market is on the hand they can play. Easily a strong enough hand to subject users to surveillance.

When I was working in a bacteria research lab I often thought about how cool/terrible it would be to have magic glasses to actually see the invisible, biologically thriving worlds that are present on basically every surface of this planet, in the style of the movie 'they live'. [1] It would be either terrifyingly fascinating or fascinatingly terrifying.

This invisible world is even on all of the surfaces in and around our bodies, right now! We are all each host to a personalized ecosystem of microbial organisms. Something like 1-3 percent of 'your' body mass actually belongs to other organisms that we can't see.

P.S. all reading this pls stay up to date on the tetanus vaccine! It's not just in rusty nails, it's pretty much everywhere.

It's even what individuals do when they believe they can justify it. Many accident lawyers would be out of business if people refused to fake a "soft-tissue" injury out of principle. If the incentive is there, people will usually take it, if they don't have to feel badly about it.
I forgot about Tradfri. I should check that out again, at least for switches. I'm not a fan of their light bulbs, though. I had a few for testing, and found that they'd often turn on for a few seconds and then back off after an automatic firmware update. My wife wasn't terribly amused since that tended to be in the middle of the night.
This reminds me of how prestige dialects or formalizations of natural languages (e.g. Panini with Sanskrit) are perceived as the origin of a language, when in fact they are derivatives or refinements of vernacular.
Paper: Stable Diffusion “memorizes” some images, sparking privacy concerns
Rivers tried to explain to the caseworker that the police had overreacted, but the caseworker maintained that the parents had somehow jeopardized their kids safety. When Rivers revealed that she had received therapy for depression some years before, the caseworker weaponized this information—and insisted she return to therapy.

Fuck the police, but if these are the social workers I keep hearing about who are supposed to make everything better, we’re never going to have competent policing in america. What the fuck is it with government employees and trying to ruin people’s lives over nothing?
> Perhaps what I miss most about the women’s magazines as they once were is the culture they represented—a slower-moving, less frenzied moment when algorithms didn’t yet shape the way we imbibed information and formed opinions.

Agree. Her and I both must be getting old.

Speaking of old though — where did I get the impression that back in the 1800's in the dawn of the "women's magazine" that they probably served to accelerate the change of fashion when the pioneer housewives saw the latest Parisian fashions and likely New York ads in Godey's Lady's Book [1]. I suppose by the time television established itself magazines were looked upon as slow moving.

Now of course, everything that is not internet is slow moving.

Yeah, the main thing is that we'd both have to be resident in Ireland for several years. Which isn't something either of us want to do.

I mean, to be fair, it's not reasonable for me (British citizen) to expect to be able to just have the citizenship of an EU country. I'm just jealous and angry that she (and our hypothetical children) now have a bunch of rights that others took away from me.
Is there a similar paper for Transformers/LLMs?
Because being vigilant works so well now...

Knowledge isn't useful if you can't apply it in practice.

My work's IT has a habit of sending out phishing emails that closely match emails legitimate emails our employees and vendors send. We're supposed to be vigilant for looking at the Reply-To field, which is hidden by default on mobile devices. (As is the url things are going to.)

I will never not trigger those. Why? My brain can't tap the header field for every single email I read. And I can't ignore legitimate emails.

Every time on my phone, I'll click the link, then check the url in the browser. I can't get my brain to check before clicking the link. (Trust me, I'm neuro-divergent and I'd tried for years. It won't reprogram.)
> The problem is that dereferencing a null pointer does not actually have undefined semantics, it has system defined semantics.

No it does not. Look in the standard.

Seriously though, I get what you mean but what is the point of having a systems-defined NULL dereference? The semantics of the NULL pointer (in C) is such that you are not meant to dereference it. If you dereference it, you have a bug no matter what the manifestation on a specific system is.

And there are probably actual systems where it would be hard to specify the behaviour. For example MMU-less systems, where you can derefence byte 0 but it might not be statically clear what kind of value is stored there?

Maybe C allows a systems-defined behaviour to be implemented as undefined behaviour? But then the distinction is kinda moot.
Another option I've had good luck with is Sengled bulbs. They're not super cheap, but they're zigbee and I've found them to be reliable.

As a European "The Land of the Free" is the funniest contradiction I've ever seen. As a teenager and young adult I loved to visit the US (NYC & LA) and everything seemed amazing. These days, I avoid the USA like I avoid North Korea and Russia. Of course, we have also huge problems here, but we seem to be more aware of them. And that helps immensely to bring about improvements.

The screen is fine, but connecting doing work with something other than the company issued laptop isn't allowed. It isn't really that bad in the winter, but in the summer the fan will go off a lot, a desktop would be quiter, and I would have room for a second large monitor (right now I'm at one large monitory + 16" laptop screen).
tcpdump is risky because it parses (way, way) more protocols than your network stack does, and because tcpdump's parsers are tooling-grade code, not kernel network code.

By productivity, I mean not only efficiency but also effectiveness.

The W3C went down a rabbit hole of XML based stuff with an emphasis on everything being well formed and valid. There was a time 15 or so years ago when XHTML a version of HTML which was also valid XML was being touted as the way forward. This meant that if there were any errors in the page it would just though an error, as opposed to HTML which would try it's best.

WHATWG was created in frustration with that approach and saw the XHTML and other XML stuff being a case of Architectural Astronomy (which is not to say they weren't doing anything, just they weren't doing anything seen as useful) and they created HTML5 which was a standard based on how HTML worked in the wild and explicitly codified how tag soup and other invalid pages should be shown.

HTML5 really revitalized the web at a time when it was pretty stagnant. WHATWG has always had a pretty practical approach to standards that boils down to the fact that whoever builds a browser ends up having the final say in what goes into the spec because it doesn't matter if there is some cool feature that nobody wants to ship, if nobody ships it it's fundamentally not part of the spec because it can't be used. This does end up meaning that WHATWG ends up being just made up of Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Mozilla. There is some irony as the descriptive HTML5 which tried to codify how HTML worked in the wild made it so complicated to create an HTML parser that now only a megacorp could actually afford to do so.
Yep. What I left unstated, which I now realize the lack of leaves my comment ambiguous, was "and that's why they use it."
So very glad to see this as a long time DF player.

> The problem is that dereferencing a null pointer does not actually have undefined semantics, it has system defined semantics. The compiler should compile source code in such a way as to produce machine code that does whatever that system does when a null pointer is dereferenced.

Null pointer dereference is just a special case of invalid pointer dereference. And that does not have consistent results anyways (may segfault or may just return garbage)
The problem is the medium itself. The internet, as much as it was believed to be a tool for bringing people together, also largely serves to keep our interactions shallow. Anonymity provides malevolent sociopathic sadists to cause significant amounts of harm pseudo anonymously, making the kind of vulnerability required to form meaningful connections much more risky than it is in real life encounters. Stories of people meeting great friends and spouses online are outliers and selection bias.

If you want to meet people, the internet is a terrible way to do it.
That's not a competing idea. It is the idea.

The difficulty is knowing which checks are necessary and which are "big government". Which is why we vote.

Being anti big government is not the same thing as being anti all government. Characterising it that way is either lazy or ignorant, take your pick.
It's even worse when you think about just how many Dunkin' Donuts there are. It's likely the kids didn't even have to cross a major intersection.

I wholeheartedly agree that the fundamental issue is the complete lack of judicial accountability. These people are getting paid a salary while they harass you, clock out at 5, and their morning routine is to get right back at it. Meanwhile your entire life is personally disrupted due to their power trip and/or malicious mistake, and the best case you can hope for is to be able to walk away?

Whether or not these officers' actions were in line with official department policy, there should be automatic compensation to the victims for their arrest and imprisonment, emotional distress, hiring attorneys and other expenses incurred. And if these officers' actions were not in line with written department policy, then they need to be treated as private citizens harassing people under the color of law, and be held personally criminally liable for the false imprisonment, etc.

This is very true. It's also why we have svelte-kit, remix, astrojs, and other frameworks that take a transitional app approach. They are server-rendered where it makes sense and client-rendered where necessary. Before developers had to choose between a server-rendered website and full on single-page application, now there are great options that blend the two depending on needs.
> It’s up to the platform in the end.

It’s not up to the platform. If it looks like a code path might dereference a null pointer, the compiler can and will make wild and bizarre optimizations in the surrounding code.

> With this kind of money, you can absolutely get someone to do all the work you need to make your tax mostly disappear.

Taxes can be deferred or distributed across a number of years with various structures if you’re willing to put that money into a business structure and pay it out to yourself over time (which they absolutely should)

But there is no magic wand someone can wave to get the money into your bank account and make the tax bill disappear without other consequences and/or breaking the law.

Note that in these situations, people absolutely will come out of the woodwork and try to talk you into various schemes to dodge taxes, but that doesn’t mean they’re legal. Plenty of stories about people using dubious structures to avoid taxes and then getting crushed by the IRS when they get around to auditing the situation.
This confirms that it was conceived pretty much as a typeless language. The purpose of "char" was to be able to process byte-addressed strings character by character, and to do byte-sized pointer arithmetic without any runtime conversions. For most other purposes, "int" was the machine word. Hence the weak typing and the odd conversion and promotion rules between "char" and "int".
"Registered sex offenders" have already been arrested, convicted, and sentenced. That's how they get on the registration list.

I'm under the impression cops tend to arrest drug dealers regularly.

"More arrests, just for other things" isn't the fix here.
