I'm a fairly visual and imaginative person, and it's pretty easy for me to come up with some very useful applications. No hostility intended, genuinely sharing my thoughts:

1. CGI for video editing - lower the bar of entry to de-age actors, or use a stand-in. Actor can't make it to a shoot that day? No worries, replace their face in post easily.

2. Identity protection - Cold call with someone that reached out to you, you're not sure if they're safe or dangerous, could be a good way to protect yourself.

3. Social media content for clients - become a fake avatar for hire essentially, customize your narrator for any video or brand. Video call centers with fake video (they already have voice modifiers and fake names), Enhanced VTuber sort of things (virtual avatars for streaming).

4. Unexpected outcomes: for example Holly Herndon created (and sold) access to an AI replica of her singing voice (n1), and I could see artists selling or renting access to their faces.

Obviously this can and will be used maliciously, but I personally could see myself using it for more positive reasons.

I had European Citizenship, it was taken away, I did not want this to happen. This was sickening to many of us. I don't believe there is anything there that is incorrect?

They did lie. They lied often and obviously. Go look up the Brexit bus, see where the money for the NHS is. Maybe look at some of the adverts around Turkey joining the EU. I won't convince you over the internet, but If you go looking, it won't be hard to convince yourself.
This byte reordering trick has also been done elsewhere. For example, the HDF5 file format supports a "shuffle" filter which reorders the bytes.
This is an old feature of some Scheme implementations. There are also books where the Scheme code is written this way, IIRC.
I think the trick with modern games is to simply never buy on launch, don’t get too invested, wait till you can get it at a deep discount once all/most of the DLC is out and then consider if you’re happy to play an interactive movie.

I just got a bunch of AAA games for AUD $20 in a bundle. A couple I already own. But I’ve played one over the Xmas holidays while staying with family for several late nights. That’s a decent entertainment to $ ratio. I also got Gloomhaven for free on Epic and have sunk quite a few hours in a campaign.

Unless gaming is your main hobby there is literally no reason to ever pay full price. And even if it is your main hobby you can stand to wait for at least the first discount.
For me problem with many tools is subscription model, not that I have to pay. You build your workflow around a few subscription tools, then something bad happens. You need to cut expenses. Apart from shitty situation in general, your workflow falls apart and you're unhappy about lowered standard of living, making it more probable to further worsen your life. It simply feels bad.
Being fired is the most advantageous in the US, if you want to claim unemployment benefits. You get none of those if you quit. That said, I think the spirit of the question allows for discussion of both.

I walked away from the site on first visit due to "accept all" being the only option. Nipped back just to check after seeing your post while checking replies to my earlier comment, and wondering if the site is deliberately treating the UK differently. It turns out only-accept-all is the default and if the geolocation lookup fails (apparently that service is blocked by my pihole, it works if on mobile without home VPN) no reject option is present.

A bit of bad design there, not failing safe, if there intention is to be compliant with stricter laws, because a failure in an external dependency makes the site less compliant.

Humans in institutions act the way institution shapes them - they react to what is punished, what is rewarded, on peer pressure, on what they are taught in training.

When you add a good person into corrupt institution, they become enablers at best, punished and sidelined if they insist on not adjusting and at most likely very their worldview and behavior shifts to match the institution.

Cops are not independent individuals exercising individual judgement calls. They are powerful armed organization with special privileges over civilians. They have strong hierarchy and act the way that is rewarded.
I actually don't mind scraping it that much, and even enjoy the adversarial aspects of writing scrapers. but it makes a lot of high level functionality like filtered streams or historical search much less accessible; I'd probably never have learned a lot of network analysis stuff over the last decade or so if I'd had to to pay to access streaming data first. Also, I think it's going to be harder for academic researchers to get institutional approval to scrape adversarially, so it could put a dent in a lot of social science research by forcing people to chase grants instead of focusing on their code.
Just a point : we don't have riot for the retirement age. Unions security forces won't allow it yet. It's just the largest manifestation and strike we have in years.
This is bad but I’ve seen worse. One of the bigger networks has a ~20second “processing” stage when you opt out of these, as a punishment for not clicking “accept” (which works instantly)

Openai is a bunch of scientists. And their product is not exactly unique - all the major cloud vendors will have a chatgpt available soon. So openai won't copy for the same reason AWS can't copy all of its customers - presumably the ppl building the product are better at building that product than, like, a room full of scientists.
Not sure if that is good or bad. The fact that you need to write a util function just to find a value in a slice is hilarious.

Using the low level map for the heuristic on the high level one is neat. Making the high level algo resumable is also very neat. I still think they should be pathing “only to the next region” on the high level map.
You can't overstate how immediately he backpedaled. He reneged on the promise in a morning show the very next day after the referendum.
If that's the case, then a lot of foods can be considered not vegan by that definition. That includes some trees that are fertilized by dead animals, inadvertently, or by petroleum based fertilizers. Death of wasps by a very natural process is similar in spirit to the latter two. Not just eating meat (which eggs can sort of be considered, same for drinking milk).

I wouldn't say a wasp that died in a fig was exploited intentionally by any human, at least, unless the wasps are introduced to figs in order for them to pollinate them. If the absence of action also is considered exploitation, then eating fruit from a tree that a rat has died under could be considered exploitation of animals by that criteria.

Yes, this is a bit of a reductio ad absurdum, but a dead wasp in a fig is already a bit down that road. There is certainly a difference between drinking milk from a cow and a (likely) accidentally dead wasp in a fig.
At Google it is actually common to have directors or VPs who don't have reports for a while, but we are talking about people who are ICs already. For each management position there is an equivalent IC position at Google with similar pay. I believe L9 would be a senior director.

I think its the opposite actually.

Google pays over $300k a year for many of their engineers, and Apple pays quite well too. Regardless of how easy that calculator app is, it'll take a team of people to build, and that team is expensive, like millions of dollars expensive, and it'll never be worth it.
Ah for God's sake. I am an inveterate carnivore, but every day I learn how badly we torture animals in the name of mass production. I certainly dislike buying meat and fish from a supermarket, instead of the small family farms I usually get it from.

HN seems to actively work on a cognitive dissonance: on the one hand producing inspirational stories of entrepreneurs changing the world and on the other abandoning all hope that technology/market forces can be controlled in any way.

I'm thinking now this is to justify away the collective guilt of bringing into the mainstream harmful products.

It seems to come from the same origins as "crypto can't be regulated", "government can't to anything", "it's ok because it's legal" and it's always worrying me to not really see any sort of moral stance being taken anymore.

I am trying to understand why the negativity towards a design that had been celebrated (in the abstract) for so long and even has a dramatic success (the browser).

The argument "it does not solve any problem I have" must be taken seriously for what it implies, but has less serious implications if the problem domain people consider is narrower than what the hypermedia design envisaged two decades ago.

This feels a bit like mathematics: expediency, predominant business models driving requirements etc dont change fundamental truths or properties. To say 'i dont need complex numbers' just begs for Fourier to come up with fourier analysis :-)
This is increasingly less feasible with fleet managed corporate devices.

Perhaps on that point I was a bit misinformed then. I edited that out from my post above.

With all that said, the French police aren't strangers to dealing with riots even in recent history, so I think my overall point above stands.
The problem was the unclear scope - it was not sure if the capsule didn't get stuck into someone's tire, an animal ate or played with it, or if it got damaged by a car running over it.

As for Google for jobs, many companies and recruiters do not know about it so I thought of explaining what is it and why it is important for organic reach.
Not the pirate version.
This reminds me of the disastrous SimCity release which required a constant connection but had servers so bad you’d get kicked out regularly. And you had to sit in a queue waiting for a slot to play your single player game. EA claimed this was necessary as the servers were running complex AI required for the game to run.

After a few months the pirate version came out that did full offline play.
Well imagine if the pellet fell on the road, another car drove by and the pellet got stuck in one of the car's tire grooves. The car eventually makes it to a parking lot, or to the back of someone's ranch. Good luck finding it, short of monitoring hospitals for radiation poisoning patients.
Exactly. I've encountered a couple of conspiracy theory nutters in my time. And the self-delusion is incredible. They really believe that they and their fellow nutters have somehow uncovered the "truth" that, until now, has eluded the world's intelligence agencies and the world's best investigative journalists.

And, incredibly, they've managed all this, via the internet, without ever leaving their bedrooms.

Well for me, crypto is highly moral and should be developed to prevent artificial trading restrictions and eliminate borders. There are many people who consider individual freedom to be of highest importance, and who are willing to develop any technology promoting it.

Yep, a large aspect of flashcards when studying or the occasions when in college they allow you to bring notes to exams involves the aspect of personally curating the material and thinking about it during the process.

Perhaps the gpt can find truly useful information, but if you don't know why it's useful you're just filling up your memory with material you don't know how to utilize well.
This is extremely common. And tbh it’s not the worst thing ever, prevents some people mistakingly buying the old one too.
I've never met anyone who used lua having experienced other languages without growing to hate it. What's an example of good code in lua, that you would enjoy working on?
Python++ sounds like it would be absolutely terrible.
Erlang is designed to accommodate principles for building reliable systems in the presence of software errors, and in such capacity it is definitely a worthy instrument. It is one of the few concurrency oriented programming languages in the world.

But as Joe Armstrong himself pointed out in his dissertation: "indeed concurrent programs can be written in languages which are not themselves concurrent". You can write concurrent programs in Python if you want. Or even shell. As soon as you can spawn a process and send it a message - you're good.

And this explains why Erlang hasn't conquered the world. As soon as it has established the principles, as soon as it proved them feasible in practice, it has made itself redundant. The lessons we learned from Erlang were larger than Erlang itself.
I didn't remember it was broadcasted uncrypted. Maybe it was airing too late for 10yo me ? By the way, while everyone here in France know Friends or How I met Your Mother, despite being available on Netflix i'm not sure way more people know Seinfeld nowadays than in the 90s. One must admit it's pretty hard to get into it 30 years after as it aged a little and it never got it primes here.

I still enjoy diving into *chans, (even 4chan which has become so mainstream) because the hobbyist boards are still the best places to have some engagement with hobbyists. Still thinking 4chan culture is a counterculture only supports the thesis that we are living in a society without a counter culture.

You have to be a coddled kid to believe that 4chan and their racism, misogyny and xenophobia are not mainstream or challenge the status quo. I mean, yes liberalism tries to stick a smiley face on the grimm reality, but it’s stupid to think you’re challenging anything just because you draw a frown and a hitler mustache on said smiley face.
I’m dreadful at picking individual stocks, but oil has been such an obvious and profitable play in recent years.

Firstly, the prices were hammered down due to temporary factors such as Covid lockdowns and less travel. That was always going to bounce back given time.

Secondly, ESG has also been well ahead of itself in declaring the end of oil and turning off the taps of investment in infrastructure. That leaves big oil holding the entire market and less on the supply side.

I don’t really find the business, the profits or investment in the industry unethical. Oil isn’t going away for decades, and if we closed down the industry tomorrow we would be back in the stone ages within months.
'Technology is neutral' is simply a banal observation that technology is only ever used by humans who can decide what to do with it. It's not saying that a new technology doesn't enable new and terrible human choices, simply that those choices rest with the people, not the technology itself.

Knives seem like the perfect example, really. We do leave them lying around in our drawers, usually under zero real security against any malicious guest, but we recognise it is about the choices of the people we invite into our houses, not the existence of the knives themselves, that is the real danger.

You can certainly argue though as you have that humans simply shouldn't have the choice to do certain things - what comes to mind immediately is nuclear weapons.
"> I find myself imaging what it would be like if my husband and I retire to Germany."

I think in case she has dual citizenship, she still has to pay into German social security. These payments are mandatory and contributions are accrued over a lifetime.

I think The minimum fee is about 150 Euros per month and family (even as an "inactive" citizen).

Maybe she can refuse to pay ("Hey, I've moved back to the UK / never moved to Germany"), but this also means almost? no pension payments later, and she can expect trouble when paying invoices for any German doctor or hospital.

Of course she can live off her wealth (gained in the UK) as a Pensioner in Germany but I think when she never contributed to German Social Security she cannot expect much. In this respect, Bookkeeping by German authorities is very accurate, over decades, to the penny.
They would have the same experience with Modula-2, Object Pascal, Delphi, or even Go's predecessors Oberon-2 and Limbo, with the difference that all of them had better tooling for GUI development 20+ years ago.

Faster compile times, debugger, IDE, code formating on save, proper modules, choice of static or dynamic loading,... all there.

Go ties to Google made it have better fortune in the market than those languages.

You're free to run WireSock in the terminal. It's linked to in this post and in the github repo. TunnlTo aims to make WireSock more accessible and to add some quality of life features. I'm collaborating with the WireSock creator and while it may seem simple at the moment it is early days... we had to start somewhere.

> I would actually say it's pretty dangerous to have something installing .msi from git, touching registry etc ...

Did you look at this code?: https://github.com/TunnlTo/desktop-app/blob/main/dist/setup....

It tells the user why it needs to install the msi, explains what it is, and gives them the option to proceed. The msi is signed by the same EV code signing certificate as the TunnlTo app. There is also information about WireSock and links in the GitHub readme.

> installing .msi from git

The .msi doesn't come from "git", it is included in the TunnlTo installer which is standard practice.

> touching registry etc ...

I'm not sure why there would be a concern if a msi interacts with the registry? That is pretty standard stuff.

While this is the case for almost all animals and their meat in Japanese, oddly enough lamb meat is ラム肉 ramu-niku, where ramu is loaned from English "lamb". The animal is 羊 hitsuji, but while 羊肉 youniku is possible, you'd rarely if ever use that in speech (and I had to look up the onyomi reading!).

That said, lamb is quite rare in Japan, it's eaten primarily up north in Hokkaido.
Whats your alternative? Attempt to hide the fact that everything can be easily faked, and that you don't need to be a hollywood studio to do it?
What good do you think that does? Instill a false sense of security and trust in a medium which cannot bear it ? How's that not worse?

Even outright banning this technology won't make a dent in the bad uses, since those individuals are highly motivated, highly competent and don't care the least about the ban..

It's not like the development won't happen, it will just be hidden, making it less obvious to the potential victims (increasing the size of this group, since you then need to be "in the know").

So no, the only way forward is to have this out in the open as much as possible so that as many people as possible become aware of how trivial it already is to fake stuff.

So, what are you saying ?
