> These tensions have been brewing between NATO (mostly America) and Russia for at least a decade. It's unfortunate that the situation escalated in Ukraine though, which AFAIK is the victim in the scheming and plotting of those two powers.

As a person from Eastern Europe this is literal Russian propaganda or in simple words - dogshit. You know why somebody like Baltic countries wanted to get in NATO? Because Russia was/is a genuine threat after these countries were deoccupied from the Soviet Union. Russia thinks that these former Soviet Union countries are still their own property, they can't imagine that these countries don't want to live "the Russian way".
How I dealt with it is by writing an entire book on my feelings about it. I found philosophy to be very helpful to understand where my attention was going and how I could focus on being a better person each day.
This is absurd. I think it's time to do something. Freedom of speech is dying in the UK.
Not sure why there was so much discussion about it; whatever about the quibbles over what the TOS _means_, it fairly clearly makes it not FOSS.
Heh, this is where I think you may be wrong about the future....

We vote in known liars all the time. People tend to like a good story better than the truth. If this thing is good at storytelling we could be in trouble.
Similar problems exist with mods on facebook pages.
Odd, haven’t seen titles like this before. It seems like a weird policy, to change headlines in a manner that is misleading if parsed following normal English grammar rules. And especially to only apply that rule in controversial cases.

If the goal is to make it clear that the claim is not endorsed by HN, why not something like

AuthorName: “This is clearly a quote because it is in quotation marks”
I was with you right up until the end... I have a Steam Deck and it's absolutely incredible. Support, though, even for the verified games and with nothing modified, is hardly at the level that it is for Apple products and actually using it is nothing like using an Apple product.

As soon as someone has an issue with something that's not officially supported by the OS, Steam/Valve is not going to help them. There's a reason why it's impossible to build something like this for Apple. They don't want any devices that they can't support until they're past their life cycle.

That's not what's happening. that's not even a good analogy.

A better analogy would be this:

let's say I'm a politician at a restaurant. I just want to eat. But, without even opening the menu, the waiter needs to know that I'm there so they can bring the menu to me and greet me. They also bring water in case I am thirsty right now.

BY FAR (if not entirely) this is what Windows does. Do you need updates? Are you an Autopilot machine used in the enterprise? Do any of your installed applications need updates from the Windows Store?

These are all normal things, but people who don't understand how Windows handles these things consider them all spyware. None of them seem to be aware that you can install a telemetry viewer application and see everything sent to Microsoft from your PC if you're so concerned with what is being collected. You can also, from that application, delete the stuff Microsoft has collected about you from that machine. They go straight to "oh I can get views if I complain about Microsoft and sound very offended by it!" So, that's what they do.

It's just annoying.
This is a very British (and specifically Conservative) approach to problems: just forbid people to talk about them. Britain is well on its way to becoming an authoritarian failed state, there just happens to still be a lot of money washing around and as an island it's relatively easy to limit movement in or out.

Can you really "teach" it anything though prompts? If you want robust code, you'd have to train it with codebases that exhibit robustness characteristics you're after.
The level of engagement seems to indicate there is interest amongst a wide swath of the site.

Some of that interest, rather predictably, is negative.
FWIW, promoting a bunch of your content (even if original) is seen as anti-participatory in some communities. Even HN recommends against it in the guidelines. While we're at it, at HN's scale you see the same polarization of engagement in /new. Simply posting original quality doesn't warrant engagement.

Reddit gives you a myriad of subreddit case studies to blow-up, but I think this is less of a scaling problem and more the split culture between communities.
I upgraded my Mac to Monterey the other day and all of a sudden all of my SSH connections would not work any more. After some digging, I came across a solution where adding

Host hostnameOrIPaddress
HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
PubKeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa

to ~/.ssh/config fixed the issue. I'm wondering if doing this makes me more vulnerable? Or is bad practice somehow? NB: using iTerm2 3.5.0beta9 and Oh My Zsh master (a1c54e0).

> If you design software that works with money amounts, always use fixed point decimals. Don't use floats, it's just wrong!

Don’t write with such certainty! Decimal math is great advice for many/most situations, but what if you have a LOT of numbers and not a lot of time? That big number crunching GPU is not available if you take this approach.

Numerical Methods was the most difficult CS course I took in university and also the one I did the worst in. And of course it was an elective, or else they wouldn’t have graduated many people at all. If you’re doing a lot of number crunching stuff, maybe you should ask people that know how to number crunch to design your system so it has the smallest errors :)

The submissiom was, apparently, flagged into almost oblivion before the flagging was switched of as a mod decision.

When Modi-critical submissions get flagged to death, just to pick another flame war guarantee as an example, there is no such intervention. So it is odd it happened in this case.
If you advertise a product without intent to sell, you're also breaking truth in advertising laws: you're selling vaporware.

Just start with the word "downloadable" in the Etsy search bar, you'll get quite the wide variety of random crap. Page through it and you can start rabbit-holing down different keyword combinations. It's vast. Most people don't even know you can get digital downloads on Etsy and we are still surprised all the time at the new things people sell (and that people are actually buying them and finding them! how???). We sell some SVGs and PDFs on one of our shops, but we haven't actually put any effort into it last year. Based on the handful of listings we already had up we made $3k USD in 2022 with like 20 minutes of work for the year.
Even most of his mobster movies aren't really about being depressed or Italian.

Casino's main character is Jewish. Gangs of New York is about Irish Catholics and American Protestants. The Departed is about Irishes. The Wolf of Wall Street may be about depression (haven't seen it), but is not about violence nor about Italians. The Irishman certainly has a lot of depression, and certainly violence and Italians, but even then.....it's called the "Irishman".

Goodfellas is probably the one prime example that is certainly about violence and Italians, and I'm not sure that's that depressed.

No, they are credible because they have a track record of good journalistic and editorial standards.
> Wrong, ARD, the second largest German PSB has had a very lively comment section for ages.

These comments aren't even linked from the articles on the tagesschau.de website.

> Part of the reluctance in setting up comment sections in general is that media orgs are liable for postings there and manual moderation costs a lot of money.

Whatever makes media orgs reluctant to have a comment section (and to show it prominently) also applies to any other public space, so if they can't even handle that, there's no point in having initiatives to think about other public spaces.
Isn't the crime of false advertising in the failure to deliver what was claimed, and not the claim itself? You can very well falsely advertise your product however you like provided you don't actually sell it to anyone, because once you deliver them a product that isn't what you claimed, that's when the actual crime occurs.

a) I don't understand the relevance at all to Hacker News. There are plenty of interesting things going on in the tech world that aren't making the front page.

an incredible amount of tech is involved in these pipelines, building them, blowing them up, figuring out who blew them up, etc.

the war/defense industry is the foundation of all US technology:

I think the author doesn't understand that reddit mods don't work for reddit. In their discussion with the mods they mention "site-wide rules" which makes me think they don't understand that the mods of each reddit make their own rules.

On that sub, their rules don't allow people who mostly post links to their own site. It's up to you if agree with their rule, but those are the rules they have chosen.

The common response is "if you don't like the rules make your own subreddit". Unfortunately that doesn't scale very well, especially if you're trying to replace a popular subreddit.

Of course the simple workaround here is that OP shouldn't be posting their own content anyway. The should send it to a friend who can post it if they think it's interesting.

Posting your own content if you aren't already an engaged member of the community is like walking into a room and shouting "hey everyone I have something you might like!". That's why there is leniency for active members of a subreddit to post their own things.

For people who are saying "thankfully HN is different!", it really isn't. It's basically the same as a subreddit run by the mods here. I personally like the way the mods run things here, which is why I participate here more. But at the end of the day it's just a different set of humans with a different set of rules (and a little bit more control since they can do things on the server that reddit mods can't). And on this "subreddit" they allow people to post their own content if it's relevant, similar to a lot of other subreddits that aren't /r/moviedetails.
Reputation absolutely is evidence. I think you mean it’s not “proof”.

If John Carmack says there is an exciting breakthrough in 3D rendering that will give 8k 120fps ray tracing on commodity hardware, that’s noteworthy, and his reputation is evidence that there is substance to the claim.

HN would be super boring if only topics that had been conclusively proven could be discussed.
The physical experience and effects of enduring a stressful environment is the same for everyone regardless of who they are, where they're from, or what they are doing.

An equivalent high stress environment can occur whether working in an executive office, working in a call center or selling bracelets on the street.

Learning to overcome high stress experiences is a transferrable skill regardless of the context in which it was learned.

To add another wrinkle, it's fairly easy to imagine one of these larger "AI" systems may accidentally ingest a large dataset of people's private information.

For example, lets say a not-awake-enough-in-the-morning admin at Equifax misconfigures a proxy server, allowing worldwide (ro?) access to what should be (only) internally viewable customer PII.

Clearly it's the "fault" of the company (Equifax in this hypothetical example).

But how to unwind the training of that PII data into the "AI", as that data cannot be allowed to "remain" in the AI system and be potentially regurgitated with the right prompting?
I write about some of it on my Facebook page. Just search my name and "Lampasas, TX". I don't do this too much; there's just too many pieces and after the 15th piece of Takatori ware people start to lose interest. When I do write, I try to keep it fresh and interesting in some way.

Good point. Maybe corporations could benefit from offering similar communications courses to employees, in the same way they offer eg mandatory security training and so forth.
Wine was also quite capable before proton came about. Valve obviously did a lot for the linux gamers, that much is clear, but we must not forget the volunteers (and codeweavers) that worked tirelessly for years to get wine to that point. Wine is a tremendous achievement.
This seems odd to me. The "money" you have in your bank is already purely digital, a fiction. It's not as if you go to and from the bank carrying physical notes and leave them in a box you control.

If your government wants to take away "your" money, they clearly have the technical ability to do it by compelling the bank to freeze your assets. Likewise, that bank you are currently trusting so much could readily shave a couple of zeros off your balance.

There is absolutely nothing technological stopping any of this.

For the shared fiction of "ownership" of intangible assets to work, we are all at the mercy of one thing: the rule of law.
This is so ridiculously cool. I do miss shiny UI's from the 2000s. We've gotten a little bit too professional.
Nothing would be easier than to say "of course we would have the same stance" but I don't want to give you quite that lazy a reply. Your question has too many counterfactual layers to backpropagate an answer through. For example, I doubt that Hersh would publish it in that case. The Hershness of a story depends on it being a blockbuster counter-thing.

Edit: oops, I missed that your question wasn't to me. Sorry!
The problem with reddit mods is that it's like the cops: the people least suited to the job are the ones who are most attracted to it. We end up with subs that effectively have no rules except the random whims of the mods and reddit themselves don't care at all. The comments on reddit reflect this perfectly because it's become more toxic over time, a haven for people interested in the casual abuse of others.

This is not in the same universe as say a piece on Trump’s relationship with Stormy Daniels or an article on Biden Hunter’s laptop.

The explosion had very real ramifications for the European continent outside the Western political context of the war.
> Why is that weird? Assuming this is true, there would be rather many people with such knowledge. One of them may feel the need to talk.

The level of detail about the operation is basically, some divers from the US Navy attached bombs to the pipeline during a military drill that were detonated with magical sonobouy signals according to some professor who said that might work.

Another red flag: The vast majority of the article was about a political narrative, which really is focused around hurting Russia, and not who is benefited by the destruction of the pipeline. The US government does not own our energy industry and is often at odds with the gas and oil industry here, and this article assumes a level of integration that does not exist in the US political system.

Scars innately look different from healthy tissue. The lessons learned in response of trauma can likewise be maladaptive. Certainly people, especially those most self-isolated during the pandemic, could use more contact with the so-called "real world." But not everything formed as part of resilience is as it should be.
Not just EU, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” back in 2015.

Here’s a systemic review showing glyphosate causes cancer in multiple animal studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32050978/

“The strongest evidence shows that glyphosate causes hemangiosarcomas, kidney tumors and malignant lymphomas in male CD-1 mice, hemangiomas and malignant lymphomas in female CD-1 mice, hemangiomas in female Swiss albino mice, kidney adenomas, liver adenomas, skin keratoacanthomas and skin basal cell tumors in male Sprague-Dawley rats, adrenal cortical carcinomas in female Sprague-Dawley rats and hepatocellular adenomas and skin keratocanthomas in male Wistar rats.”
From a merchant's perspective, Blockchain backed money can reduce the cost of moving money. Typical credit card and ach debits/credits take 3 to 5 business days to settle and cost the merchant over 2% to 3% of every sale (higher for smaller businesses). That means we consumers pay Visa and the other big processors 2% to 3% of nearly everything we by online and in store because merchants - of course - pass those fees onto us.

If this CBDC can process payments within a few seconds or minutes (some Blockchains are able to) that's also a huge win for merchants as that means they actually have the funds they need to fulfill orders rather than relying on credit (which also costs $) and having to wait days for all customer's funds to be deposited.

Rapid settling times help cut down on fraud - which itself is very costly to businesses (the cost of which is carried by the consumer).

So by switching to a quickly settling CBDC, businesses can save time and money - savings that can be passed to consumers. Now, whether they ever do that is another question.
Per your own link, they can be disabled via Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Widgets.

Want and ability are two different things.

Valve released a phenomonal but imperfect update to the Nintendo Switch which has sold about 1% as well. If Sony released a PlayStation Phone tomorrow, and failed to update it for years despite massive interest, then you'd see a SteamPhone.
I think the opposite could be true – that we're too quick to diagnose mental illnesses in kids today. In the last few years I've witnessed several kids in my family get referred to doctors for potential mental illnesses and then end up on a cocktail of drugs as a result.

It's something I've found really difficult because I was never personally convinced they were mentally ill in the first place and in many cases these drugs have really nasty side effects. I don't think it's going too far to say part of that child dies when they're given high doses of depressants, anxiety and ADHD meds.

Imo we probably need to stop telling kids they're mentally ill and giving them medication, while also finding a way to be compassionate about their struggles. I'm constantly trying to convince one teenage girl in my family at the moment that it's okay to be shy and anxious sometimes. That she doesn't need medication and there's nothing wrong with her. But it's a hard argument to make when certain teachers and family members are telling her she possibly does in an attempt to be compassionate.
You are looking at lifetime of either in practice. People who stop dieting and exercising regain the weight.

So between a lifelong struggle or a lifelong pill, I would choose the pill.

I know I would not win a lifelong struggle.
I disagree that we shouldn't question such big claims.

It's safe to assume the reason his sources are unnamed is to protect their safety. Don't know how plausible this is, but I it's possible that the lack of presentable evidence is for the same reason. Maybe the relevant documents could've been somehow fingerprinted, which would identify the leaker/source; the film/tv industry has done this when distributing pilots for private viewings. Heck, even printers did it lol.

However, it's not secret American politicians vehemently disliked the existence of Nordstream, and this outcome is undeniably convenient for them. Maybe too convenient, so they wouldn't dare attempt it? Or maybe they just assumed they'd have a great scapegoat. Maybe it wasn't even them, and it's Russian government playing 5D chess by blowing up their own investment to frame Americans.

Who knows? Maybe time will tell; it usually does.

The app in question is BSD 3-clause... the EULA can be removed by a forker, and perhaps it will be.
Author here, I wrote at the begining of the text that it isn't fully supported yet :)

"WebGPU was first published in mid-2021 (super new!), so it isn’t fully supported on browsers (also shows how you can enable it) yet".

My main goal is to bring this new technology into attention, I don't intend nor do I have any incentive to recommend people using it in production. Sorry if that wasn't completely clear.
Agreed - there's a lot to like about embedded programming - it's the antidote to bloat, and encourages a "bonzai" philosophy towards programming. It also means you can have total control and understanding of every byte of the firmware, which - for me at least - is much more conducive to fun than sellotaping together chunks of opaque bloatware.

> Or, pick a ‘dead’ language.

Or a dead platform! Loads of retro platforms still have active and creative communities, and finding new ways to make an old computer do cool things is a lot of fun.

That's where I find my fun, anyway - nothing about what OP want to achieve sounds compatible with fun to me - but that's probably just me showing my age!
