people using social media is not 'chaos and hysteria'. there are rescue teams on the ground , reporters etc many of whom are using twitter and certainly blockign a communication medium , any medium , in an destroyed area with devastated infrastructure under severe cold is an evil that Allah won't forgive.
Right, both things can be true. Apple has a closed web browser ecosystem, and that's bad for users. Opening up that ecosystem could possibly lead to even greater market dominance by Chrome, which would also be bad for users.
My heat pump is 11 years old and doesn't have a resistive heater. I thought resistive heaters were a new thing. Many people in the Northern US and Canada need some kind of backup and a resistive heater in the heat pump would be a selling point for many.
Exactly, I made the same point before. Google's ads will become more effective AND people will spend more time on Google's properties. This narrative that Google will lose out because people won't view ads never made any sense and it's been repeated like a gospel.

Of course Google still dropped the ball by taking way too much time to put their LLMs into use.
Dbt Labs to Acquire Transform
The only option is to have a proxy sit in the middle between the uploader and the server. You mentioned Tor but it doesn't have to be Tor, just some proxy most users would trust not to collude with the server and that doesn't itself derive benefit from seeing the IP addresses. If there were a different entity that could be relied upon to run servers doing this and were highly trusted by users, I'd be interested to use it. Failing that, the usual answer for an enterprise or company is to run their own HTTP proxy. The design explicitly supports that.
I wish there was a standard way of disabling telemetry across software dependencies.

While I leave it turned on for personal projects, several projects at work require disabling it.

I have spent hours auditing through transitive dependencies to turn it off.

Totally empathize. Why we ended up this way when "tech" has been eating the world for so long is another story...

One little corner that might be worth exploring is KDE apps based on QtQuick / Kirigami. You can leverage your C++ and deploy on android too.

the low s/n then makes it about who can be loudest and/or most provocative. i don’t disagree that disinformation shouldn’t just be squelched, but it’s not as simple as “education” or “more speech” and as humans we tend to prefer the path of lead resistance.
For people in this thread convinced that Google is scrambling to come up with a ChatGPT competitor - that’s only true on the product side. Internally, LamDA has been available with a chatGPT style interface for years (maybe more like 18 months).

I'm curious if Erdogan will attempt an I'm-president-until-I'm-dead move the way Putin and Xi Jinping did.

Once more start getting thrown out I'll have to pick a couple of trashed ones up and see how hackable they are. I wouldn't be surprised if a good amount of the parts besides the control board ended up being interchangeable just due to sourcing parts from the same suppliers. I'll feel a little more confident in them after that.

Just like with Mastodon created because of the 2013 Twitter APIpocalypse, YouTube have been screwing things up big for at least 14 years now, and PeerTube as it exists now is at least partially the result of those actions :

I think it's probably relevant, yes -- he is in fact fairly popular, historically. (So is Putin). It's harder to keep your hands on the levers of power the less support you have, even if it can still be done with increasing force, it's a threat.

But I'm interested in hearing with Turkish HN users think.

Note that the comment I replied to, from a Turkish user, suggested "They are only interested in the optics and looking strong for the upcoming election", suggesting that, yes, Erdogan cares about popularity.
Rounding is fine but it would be nice if 0.1+0.2 was predictably 0.3. I am having a lot of trouble explaining to people that float numbers should be avoided unless you really need them. I have seen code that stored versions as floats and the dev was surprised that version 1.1 wasn't always equal to "1.1".
Ok so basically how we have fun nowadays is

1) write some random control plane
2) create yaml interface for that control plane
3) watch how your users lose will to live

This isn't true at all. The G1 (first widely marketed android phone) was superior in all ways but one: Marketing. The iPhone wasn't really competitive on the hardware front until the 3g which finally added GPS and a fast cellular modem.
Can you explain what makes this account a sock-puppet account, or how they're causing trouble? The comment makes valid points, and provides useful information.
You don't think a ChatGPT product would... show ads? Something has to fund it, right? I mean, I get that the response will be that it will be supported by some other business model (hardware sales a-la Apple, windows licenses for MS, etc...). But... then it's not an argument about AI at all but about business models.

So... if alternative business models haven't disrupted search in the last 20 years, why are they going to start now?

I just think this is turning into an HN echo chamber. AI will absolutely be revolutionary and disruptive, but it's a long road from "revolutionary disruptive technology" to "Mighty Hammer That Will Destroy All My Imagined Enemies".
I think Twitter will very much become a creator-based micro-blogging platform. Some would argue thats kind of what it is now but there are still elements missing.

> Surely it already has. Not consistently and repeatably, and not quite under the conditions Turing proposed

That seems like a long winded way of saying it hasn’t passed. The details are quite important in the actual Turing test; if the standard was fooling anyone at any time, then even ELIZA could pass the Turing test.
And refused to back down when China did its standard put-them-in-the-doghouse routine.
Food stamps are a handout. They are gained from agency, but existence. Should we limit people's ability to chose their outcomes that result from their own labor?
I don't think Google can credibly put out an assistant like this, without harming revenue.

If they make it promote stuff for pay, it's worthless—you already have to second-guess whether it's right because it might accidentally be wrong, if it might also just be acting as a paid promoter, that puts it firmly in "easier to just not use it" territory.

If they put one out but don't make it into an AI infomercial, then it eats ad revenue and investors get pissed off.

But if they do nothing they're clearly headed for trouble, too.

They're in a tough spot.

My guess is they're release something, but keep it strictly separate from search in hopes that it won't replace search traffic. I doubt that'll be enough long-term but it might quiet fears for a while.
The product side is all that matters here. If Google cannot productize it, then all they did was do other people's homework for them. And it increasingly looks like Google has zero plan for productizing it.
It was either snow leopard or lion. Chrome and Firefox would install but be unable to visit https websites because of missing crypto things it needed. It was surprising to me too.
Again, its keyword matching vs having a real query language.
Alta Vista let you do things like "john near smith" and it would match "smith, john", "john, smith", etc.

But it would NOT match "John had a very long conversation with smith about the problem"

I think you are correct. These are two distinct products.

The nuclear option is to transition to a job that isn't programming. Then let it rest a bit and most likely the itch to write some code will strike you, so go ahead and do it. Solve problems you care about the way you like. Treat it as a hobby again.

Of course, if your most marketable skill is programming, then that strategy will likely involve a reduction in compensation. Whether or not that trade-off is worth it is something only you can answer.
> it's just better

This assertion does not withstand scrutiny. You may like being able to get True as the result of 0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3, but the landscape will still be littered with rounding errors as soon as you try to do anything nontrivial. (Or even plenty of trivial things like expecting 1/6 + 1/6 to add to 1/3). So all you gain is a false sense of security in exchange for less precision and slower computation.

(Of course, there are plenty of tasks for which floats are just wrong for the job, and you should transform the problem so that you can use integers or rationals instead. For example, when you are incrementing a number by (integer multiples of a) fixed delta, just change units so you can count numbers of increments as an integer, and change units back at the end.)
I've been seeing this happen on YouTube more and more where they identify a video as being explicit and that I must login with a Google account. Not having a Google account means I can't view the video - even youtube-dl can't download it. There are other workarounds like viewing it on my phone via NewPipe or installing FreeTube on desktop.

The same reason there are sources in the footnotes on Wikipedia: so you can double check or read further.

I like to think of ChatGPT and the like as an on-demand personalized Wikipedia: a good starting point, comes with strings attached, not always correct (but some are fine with it).

ChatGPT doesn't link sources yet but I saw that the beta test context search from Kagi had them.

I think that when we walk about security (and privacy!) the question that needs to be asked together is "against who?".

Yes, phones have stronger security requirements, but why are they being secured against people using them? :)

>so it pressures corporations to ban speech on its behalf, with an implied threat they will will hurt the corporation in some way if it does not comply.

Which is not actually legal. It's been found repeatedly in court that the government can't work hand in glove with a third party to violate civil rights. Otherwise the FBI would work hand in glove with third parties to beat people with rubber hoses until they confess.
Yeah, outside of just habit, I am not entirely sure why someone would still be sticking to Google. I am using Brave Search, and its results are just as good as Google's. I am planning on running my own searx instance at some point to run it all myself before long
Also a lot of the big VPN brands are blocked so its hard for a regular person to get one. I recently helped someone out to get one required us to iterate through a number of providers each time me sending them the binary over signal so they can try it out.

Yeah this might work if you heat your oven with wood.

The outside of our oven gets merely warm. It's safe for our children to touch it.

For the stoves. The pots get hot, fast but the stove itself is more heated up by the pots than generate heat on it's own.
In which case I disagree ;-). Most strikingly DEC64 doesn't do normalization, so comparison will be a nightmare (as you have to normalize in order to compare!). He tried to special-case integer-only arguments, which hides the fact that non-integer cases are much, much slower thanks to added branches and complexity. If DEC64 were going to be "the only number type" in future languages, it had to be much better than this.
In parts of Canada, such as Alberta, where it goes to -40C, anyone buying an air source heat pump is nuts. Ground source is the only viable heat pump option, in spite of its much higher cost. I guess they'll be stuck on natural gas until the climate rises some more.
I must be getting old. Most new games just don't excite me any more.
> I guess we have to find a different place for our passwords database that can be accessed over unauthenticated HTTP

That's a strange sentence. Passwords shouldn't go over plain text (e.g. HTTP) and shouldn't be world-readable without authentication. If the database itself is encrypted then you could put it on any web server, even ye olde ftp, as a replacement for this service.
I'm surprised at the cataclysmic response here. I do hate puritanical stuff, but this doesn't seem that bad. I do worry that eventually they'll force people to log in to even see this content eventually, and that'll just be a sad day for the Internet. But just blurring it seems... ok? For me it's a far better setting than "On" even though I'd greatly prefer "Off".

Well, I guess it would be annoying if you were browsing only explicit images, like porn. But, at the risk of sounding crazy, I figured people had moved onto topic-specific sites for that kind of thing.
I don't see why this would be lighter than current banking, though.
Keyword matching (when google actually honors the keywords) is hardly 'fu' ...

Just look at the bad results we get from recruiters that keyword match resumes :-D
> Don't buy this thing yet if you have a low frustration threshold. Don't listen to the fanbois.

I'm sorry to hear your first experience with the steamdeck was so poor (I don't work for valve, I'm just Canadian)

While I believe you, I'm confused how you ended up in that state - valve has a list of games that work perfectly (according to them, I obviously haven't verified them) and then games that may work with some tinkering.

I can only imagine you tried games that were marked as not working (requiring tinkering) and if you have a low frustration tolerance (totally fair) it doesn't make sense why you'd try those games then conclude the device isn't ready?

I have a steamdeck, not a fanboy (in fact I want to sell it because I don't like how big it is) I also have a low frustration tolerance for gaming (I just want to play for a few minutes after work) and yet, I haven't managed to become frustrated with it yet. Where does our experiences differ?
Some late night TV show (Jimmy Kimmel maybe?) used to have a recurring bit where they'd find an innocuous photo and then blur out parts of it in a way that suggested that the original was naughty.

I can't remember more so I couldn't find a link to any examples, but I can't wait for somebody to set up a Twitter account documenting Google's unintentionally funny false positive blurs.
May I recommend making a simple game? Developing small games is a lot of fun, and you have complete control over the complexity you'd like to delve into, as well as the scope.

I've been making games with varying degrees of seriousness. I even released a full solo game last year, which was a wild ride. I'm lucky enough to have a job I'm satisfied with, but even so, creating games has never failed to introduce super interesting challenges, it's just a great creative outlet for code and art alike.

I think Godot (Python-like with C# support) is in a very interesting place right now, and it's easy to get into and start making some prototypes. If you want something more involved, try Monogame (C#). There are always Unreal (C++) and Unity (which IMO is getting harder and harder to recommend due to their business model and decisions as of late).

Plus, game developers have some of the best online communities on virtually any platform you can think of. You can always find someone to consult or even join a project, from modding to rev-share game development.

I'd have chosen JVM for safety, ease of deployment, stability and performance, and Java for maturity of the toolchain (fully aware that required memory would be a concern). With that in mind, can you pitch Zig to me?
Interesting data, thanks!

Since addition, subtraction, multiplication, and modulus are each used more than division and exponentiation _combined_ (and since not every use of those last two functions would result in an "inexact" result), I think we can pretty clearly conclude that "most usages of mathematical operators in these libraries will result in an 'exact' result" (I'm hand-waving on the definition of "exact", I don't think it's at issue here)

Which is not, of course, a good justification for ceasing to worry about the problem, since a) those packages might not be representative of all libraries, and b) a small proportion of uses might result in a disproportionate amount of bugs.
They got fed up with Google search returning stuff about birds.
This is true everywhere outside of our dev circles. Heck, even most devs I personally know still have a "I don't have anything to hide" and "They track everything anyway, stop resisting" attitude.

It could be the other way around thanks to the Russia-Ukraine war.

For a long time Russia has been the dominant exporter of nuclear reactors. The Russian VVER is their version of the American PWR. Early Soviet reactors were pretty bad but their current reactors are up to Western safety standards and are competitive with designs like the EPR and AP1000.

Where Russia pulls ahead is that they have been consistently selling and building VVERs in countries like Turkey and Egypt whereas that is aspirational for western manufacturers and even for Chinese manufacturers who have big plans to export the Hualong One.

Russia has competitive fuel cycle services and has constructed and now operates a large scale fast breeder that appears to be highly successful.

They are endangering this world-beating business not just by getting into ‘sanctions hell’ but also by demonstrating that they aren’t trustworthy by their actions at the plant at Enerhodar. If there is a serious accident there it will be a black eye for the whole industry but particularly for Russian participation in that industry.
Yeah I hear you. I naturally can relate more to the producer than the fan or supporter.

Another good comparison is a company like Tesla. Tesla started out with the high priced roadster but as they sold more and their audience grew, they pushed the pricing down and make cars more accessible and affordable to more people.

Art can be done in a similar way but there's some nuance to it where you want to make sure if you offer lower ticket items that they don't cannibalize your core profitable offer and that you can actually have enough volume to profitably sell items at those lower rates.

Better to just focus on one profitable offer and skip the low ticket items until you have quite a massive audience to reach. The low ticket items then become more like "merch" you see youtubers sell to monetize their audience and then a percentage of those folks ascend to investing in commission or originals.

But when starting out just the one core profitable art offer sold through personal branding and relationship building, I've seen be the most sustainable way to go.

Quick note that regular money works like this, although you might not realize this if you grew up in the USA since afaik it has never happened here. Governments re-issue all the money quite often. UK did it in 1971. India did it in 2016. It happened when the Euro was launched.
