The hard part is fixing an organization that has some good people and some bad people

This is just the "not all cops" with more words. Where are the good cops?

They aren't turning people in. They aren't speaking out. If they do such things, they get fired. They aren't getting promoted: Speaking out makes you untrustworthy.

They aren't doing this so much that we know there are police gangs. With tattoos and everything. Surely, folks knew, but nothing happened. Simply not acting like the bad cops isn't enough to be a good cop.

The only real reason we have evidence of police misconduct is because of modern technology: The only reason Rodney King's abuse got nationwide coverage is because it happened to be on video, and now everyone has a camera in their pockets.

And little has changed.

Where, exactly, are these good cops and what are they doing?
That's what makes it "different".
On Jan. 20, Google parent Alphabet announced it would slash 12,000 jobs, or 6% of its global workforce. CEO Sundar Pichai said he took “full responsibility” for the cuts after a pandemic-fueled hiring spree that increased the company's workforce by 14% in 2020 and 15% in 2021

Quoted from Google.
Another way of looking at this is that it clearly isn’t a fatal flaw. Most phone users don’t download many apps. Once they have the few usual suspects, they’re done. Android is, for that market, a good bet. It’s also superior for anyone who wants to more heavily customise their device (launchers, actions, etc) or dig into categories that are effectively banned on iOS (such as open emulation).

Where in my experience Android fares poorly is in a certain kind of ambition. Part of my beat is apps coverage. I was relieved when an article I used to write was canned because it was a nightmare each month coming up with consumer/creative oriented quality apps on Android. (Things are getting tougher on iOS there, too, but it’s still ahead.)

Even in that space, there are quality apps on Android, and surprises do happen. LumaFusion is a good example of that – even if it showed up years after it had been on iOS. But in these sorts of premium app spaces – media creation; writing tools; cameras; children’s apps; even games – iOS remains ahead.

For most, that won’t make any odds. But for some, it’s the difference that matters.
> so apparently they only care about your privacy if you are a citizen of the EU?

No, they care about being minimally compliant and laws vary.

A number of places have legislation that just says "users much opt in" but the EU has legislation that says "users must opt-in, but cannot be forced to opt-in by there being no opt-out option".

They don't care about your privacy at all, no matter where you are, if any claim otherwise is made it is a lie.

>A few of the more we’ll known theories: no stars in photos (film’s dynamic range too low)...

And, ironically, if you were going to fake the moon landing photos, you'd probably have put some stars in, just so people wouldn't ask "Why are there no stars?"
I actually don't agree with this. Assume that the following premises are true:

* action x is legal, but results in a worse world for everyone.
* doing action x benefits the first 1000 people who do it.
* much more than 1000 are capable of doing x, including me.
* if I do it now, I will be one of the first 1000.

If these are true, I think one should do action x. I believe one would be completely justified in doing it.
A morning commute from the Marina District to the Financial District, which is an extremely generous analog to "traveling from the outer boroughs" would take more than 30 minutes because... you have to take a bus backwards for 3 stops just to get to a subway entrance.

But if you leave at 8:30 thinking that you have a 30 minute ride, traffic backs up so badly that taking a bus 25 stops clean across the city to Market and Church, so you can then take a subway is the recommended option, turning it into a 43 minute ordeal.

-

In no reality would you ever need to ride 25 stops to get to a subway station from an outer borough in NYC.
(post author) All of this has been done elsewhere! I'm just trying to try various approaches that are out there, on "my own data".
Tell me you have no idea what unions are for, without saying it explicitly.

Also why bring in the anarchists? I dont see the connection, feels like a cheap way to attack "the progressives" Just because you feel insulted personally.

By the way nice username, anarchists would appreciate it, cops a bit less.
Note that it was already possible before with a command like:

go test -coverpkg=./... -c . -o main.test

This command builds a test binary with a coverage config. So if you run it, launch your tests, and stop it gracefully, it will spit out a coverage report.

I’m not exactly sure what the change in Go 1.20 is about, maybe it’s easier somehow, I’ll have to try it.
It's a classic beginner mistake to load up a 20000 word deck and start learning it when you have no relationship or connection to the cards. Create a card when you first see the word in real life, with that example sentence on the back, and it's so much easier to remember. At least for me anyway.
The US lags behind some safety measures, but leads in others. The US was one of the first countries to ban DDT, established food safety inspection way before other countries, established OSHA well before workplace safety had worldwide focus, and so on. It's also been late to the party in other areas.

When evaluating why rules might differ between countries, the less strict rule shouldn't necessarily be interpreted as "putting corporations before health" or the like; it's absolutely possible that US consumer safety bodies determined that the added risk from some tradeoff isn't high enough to warrant the additional cost, but some other cultures have different risk tolerances.

Such tradeoffs are very normal and very okay for regulatory bodies to do (provided they're doing so with sound justifications, which I haven't seen any reason to doubt here).
> The only solution I can think of is storing every link I come across in a searchable format

I take screenshots of any content I find interesting. Effortless, even on mobile (where links suck), and usually enough context to search for it again. If I ever want it, its usually shortly after first seeing it, if not.. its lost in the endless pile of photos.

I know it's only ChatGPT but I'm offended at how badly the characters are written.
What it boils down to is: If someone else will just do it, then wait and let them do it. If it has morally objectionable consequences, either you care about that and do not involve yourself, or you don't and you go ahead. But then you cannot say you didn't get your hands dirty.

* blocking other programs using desktop integration for file dialogs: latency of several minutes, sometimes dialogs never appear.

That's a Chrome/Chromium thing. Often, if I try to open the Nvidia control panel, it will not appear until I close Chrome.
I've had something similar happen with rpcs3 (a ps3 emulator) - only with that, it wouldn't start compiling shaders until Chrome was closed. They continued just fine after reopening it.
imo if you don't make the card then either: the word isn't important, or it comes up again, and you finally do make the card. It's not a big deal.

I'm about 10 years on my Anki deck and have reached the same conclusion as you about keeping deck size down. A single card has a huge time investment if you add up the reviews. Even more if it's a bad card and you fail it a lot. As the words you learn get more and more niche, it's important to weigh up whether a card is worth making or keeping. I actively delete cards that make me feel 'meh' when I see them, or that I fail a lot, so I don't lose motivation.
The fashion industry and pretty much the concept and existence of luxury brands are counter to this claim.

First let me thank you for a thoughtful riposte! I do appreciate that. My question was an honest one and I imagine, not the easiest to conceive an answer to. I genuinely appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts.

With that said almost every use-case cited was financial or monetary gain whereas I enquired about social utility and value.

That dishonesty ie creation of a fake avatar is cited as being of social utility strikes me as a reach. I don’t see how adding more dishonesty and facades to the world adds social value, but then I may just be of limited imagination.
As a former New Yorker who does awful lot traveling... you're not wrong.

- The city mostly shuts down at an absurd hour. Trying to run errands at 10pm feels like trying to run them at 3 am in most major cities.

This threw me off so much. I feel like you have so many late night option choices in NYC... but that just doesn't exist in SF.

- The crime itself is a dead horse, but the actual general populace just seems to have such a depressing attitude about it,

I hate how SF doesn't try to enforce laws. Yes, we should be extending compassion to the less fortunate... but that doesn't mean we should embrace people committing crime and making it an okay behavior. I feel so unsafe walking around SF.

How many people do you know who used lua, having experienced other languages, and who did grow to hate it?

What are the properties of the language that they do hate, specifically?

As I've said, my own code is mostly in Lua these days, and I am enjoying working on it. It's closed-source, so I can't point you to it.

Meta share count is only down 6% total since the start of the pandemic. And down ~10% total since their share count peak in 2017

Looks like you're referencing YoY rates as measured on a quarterly basis from the link above, which is not the same as the absolute percentage of shares.

Likely the pace will rise somewhat with recent job cuts/buybacks, but historically they've mostly just tread water with shares issued via software based comp
IMO one of the killer use cases of GPT is reformatting information from any format X to any other format Y, and we're using this superpower in the relatively "boring" space of data extraction:

> I'm arguing that a finding like this harms such core arguments

Why? If a really good artist studies a single piece long enough, he could be able reproduce it to a degree where it takes expert analysis to determine which is the original. It's not as if there have never been forgeries of expensive artworks.

The difference between a human studying a certain piece intensely, and a model overfitting to it, is that to the model, it happens by accident. Overfitting to the training set is not a desired outcome, it's something ML techniques are trying to actively avoid.

No, police unions dont hire police PR. The PR people are employees paid by taxpayers just like all other cops. We pay to be lied and bullshited to.
I don't mean to be squeamish about this, but I'm glad I'm not a fig eater. I know fig wasps are totally normal, but I assumed they'd be completely dissolved or at least unrecognisable. Finding not only recognisable wasps but also many other insects is a bit of a shock to me.

But the article says it's not uncommon to find insects in stored food. So what other insects have I been eating? My fruit consumption is mostly limited to bananas, apples, grapes, and the occasional strawberry or plum. I do know that fruit flies like a banana, and we've had enough drosophila infestations that I'm under no illusions about my accidental consumption of them.
In some other thread I believe someone said with his known equipment, even if not occluded, a scan would take some seconds... so with that wouldn't have been to be that easy?

Well, yes. But it turned out, to everyone's relief, that the optimistic assumption held: the capsule was in fact still lying near the side of the expected road.

It could have gone another way - it could have been picked up and moved elsewhere by vehicle tyre, small animal or a human, in which case things would be much harder.
Well I'm showing evidence for my position and no one else is. My mind could be changed with evidence. But there isn't any as I'm correct.

I was wondering that, too. But:

> Shapiro said that she had already completed a key first step in the project — fully sequencing the dodo’s genome from ancient DNA — based on genetic material extracted from dodo remains in Denmark.

> The next step was to compare the genetic information with the dodo’s closest bird relatives in the pigeon family — the living Nicobar pigeon, and the extinct Rodrigues solitaire, a giant flightless pigeon that once lived on an island close to Mauritius. It’s a process which would allow them to narrow down which mutations in the genome “make a dodo a dodo,” Shapiro said.

(https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/31/world/dodo-bring-back-fro...)

From a technology perspective - due to recent advancements in ancient genome sequencing and synthetic biology methods - I find it's a good time to start such a project. Also note that lots of avian genomes have been sequenced in the last years.

How do we download and install Windows 3.1 in 2023. I would like to install it on bootable USB stick.
Well, it's 21 century, nothing dies anymore but people. But you have to admit that it's not booming the way it deserves. I wrote in Erlang a decade ago and I thought that in ten years, surely, it will eat the world. Erlang got too many things right.

However, as people from other domains started employing its principles, Erlang's value diminished. E. g., if we now write supervisors in Python that run servers, event handlers and FSMs written in C++, and the system works fine, we don't really need Erlang.
As a person with ADHD I'd be super curious how we respond to it.
Define "need".
This is pretty cool.

One of the things I think is hugely important about GPT3 is that it's paid for by the token. So for small users, it's pretty cheap, and it's fully workable for testing and experimentation.
Perhaps a nation-wide campaign to cover your phone camera lens with tape and then look for artifacts from gamma rays hitting the CMOS sensor?
Which is obviously reasonable! If you know how to build weapons, don't. Let somebody else do it.
There definitely was a point when I thought that, yes, this is a new product and it is looking good, give it another year or so to get the kinks out. But then they removed features they got right the first time, like fullscreen screen sharing with their New Experience. They also added more and more half-baked poducts with rapidly changing apis and the like. From then on I was convinced that they in fact didn't want to learn what Slack/Discord/etc. did right and just go their usual MS way.

It uses the GPU for the UI as well. Says so right in the settings. Sometimes I see using the GPU in task manager, sometimes not.
The technology isn't just deep fake, deep faking is one ability of techniques that do more general object/person replacement. It is such a small step between techniques for things like digital de-aging to a full fake face, that working on one makes the others possible and trying to ban one will have unintended consequences on the others.
So is there a light, Windows 9x-like (so really really fast and responsive) shell for Windows 10?

I cannot believe how unresponsive Windows 10 is, the menus, windows, all opening with so huge delays, it's a disgrace.
You are most probably correct about 4chan, I am not myself a visitor but seen similar references of it frequently. But - I can guarantee you that every single similar web I've seen (ie posting funny/gruesome/creative photos and videos, often from 4chan) is exactly the same.

Not every single user, quiet majority still goes there for (some of the) content and discussions are ignored. But once you open them its the same mess. It wasn't dominant so much before but it is like that now. Sparks of sanity drowning in pitiful empty statements. I don't know user details but it feels like bunch of frustrated teenagers who are racing to show who is more depraved and depressed, mixed with adults who are failures in real life and ventilate their anger and hate on such places (I don't believe it works for more than few seconds but its probably as addictive as cigarettes mentally).
This reminds of the whole crowd of artists calling for a ban of AI generated art because "it's stealing". The change will happen, whether you want it or not. So those guys'd better raise the prices for their unique, by-hand manufactured, hard worked pieces of work and leave the low-quality, generic and industrially generated ones to AI. Embrace the change, as they say.
This is less of a problem for UK citizens, since the statepension is pretty bad. Most people Here pit money in a pensionfund, e.g for me my pension is about 90% from my pension fund and the state part is just an extra(not that I expect i will ever receive it).
MSN Messenger was good for a short period, then got increasingly bloated and horrible and I had to switch to alternative clients like Trillian. I remember someone released a hacked version of Messenger with all the bloat stripped out, too.

My impression is that from about the end of WW2 up to the 1970s, the US was ahead in these sort of things, but has been increasingly lagging behind since the neoliberalism of the 1980s and 1990s, and has been extremely reluctant to add any new regulations since.

Show HN: Serverpod – The Missing Server for Flutter
We just released Serverpod 1.0
I strongly disagree that we learned much of anything.

For example: hot upgrading. The fact that an Erlang process can tail call itself means that you can swap in a new process with the same signature at the tail call of the old process. Nobody else does this that I know of.

I can go on further. The whole set of behaviors encoded by the OTP libraries is also something that nobody else seems to do. Erlang's bit syntax is possibly the best out there even today.

I guess pattern matching finally made it to other languages. I would think that's probably about it from Erlang (pattern matching isn't exclusive to Erlang but it was one of the earlier languages with it).

None of the other programming languages seem to have learned much of anything from Erlang--and that's kind of sad.
I'm guessing they wouldn't stop doing it, they would instead get a 3€ brush

Ask HN: Tools for Visualising Baysian Networks?
I've searched high and low but can't find a link previously submitted to HN: It was a really neat visual tool to make Bayesian calculations from a DAG.

The user entered priors for various quantities, and for the correlation between them, and the interface would show a conditional posterior distribution... it was a way of quickly simulating a range of outcomes given non-point estimates for contributing variables. I think it was all written in JS – the UI was quite slick.

If anyone can remember what this was would be incredibly grateful!
