Because I can think of a fuck load of valid reasons my computer is making requests to these companies, and I'm not trying very hard.

Tracking is genuinely useful when providing services - gauging interest and user preference is HARDLY new to tech. Do you think your grocery store isn't tracking what their best selling items are and making decisions about shelf space? Why do you expect your digital store to not do the same?

In this case - they're also providing weather and news data. That data needs to be local to me for it to matter (I don't need the weather from 3 states away...). That data is often coming from applications that 3rd parties create (widgets) and they can and do opt into using 3rd parties other than microsoft for tracking.

Finally...

If you don't like it... fucking switch. I use Arch as my daily driver basically everywhere except work (where I'm stuck on macOS, and boy if you think Windows is bad... I've got news for you about Apple... they track the time and location of every damn app I open on their crapboxes - for your own security of course /s)

Or... just turn it off. Which most orgs already do with easily controlled GPO settings, and you can do with a couple of clicks at install time when you really should read the damn fine print that they're showing you.

If you want to talk about malicious tracking - I want to start with my fucking bank and credit card company. I don't give a fuck about MS.

The parent post complained about the limited video of gameplay. And my response was about that video.

I said nothing about whether the game was or was not truly "electro-mechanical".

That said, I do think it's unfortunate that HN discussions tend so often to focus on these sorts of disagreements rather than focusing on the achievement or creations being shown. This is not a court room, where exacting definitions and adherence to them is so important.

They can be, natural gas is about 1000 BTU per cubic foot.

An expensive high efficiency gas furnace might be 95% efficient (most normal furnaces are in the 80's)

1000 x 0.95 = 950 BTU/cuft

A high efficiency natural gas power plant is 60% efficient and a modern high efficiency low temp heat pump can have a COP up to around 2.7 at 17F

1000 x 0.6 x 2.7 = 1620 BTU/cuft

A 40% power pant is still more efficient than a 95% furnace with a 2.7 COP heat pump.

There is obviously more to this, there are some grid losses to account for but has to be compared to piping losses, there is also cost factors and also how much renewable is mixed into your grid supply, but generally once that heat pump is above around 2.5 COP it starts to make sense, this is a no brainer in milder climates which is why I have a heat pump and no gas furnace here in FL even though I have gas to the house for other uses.
JIRA is still awful separately from that just in terms of implementation quality. It's SO slow. Just clicking around opening issues has a noticable delay, and typing in the textboxes to edit issues is laggy!

Indeed. Linux is a no go for me. I don't use Steam, also I use DosBox a lot and tinker with a ton of stuff related to games.

I am not really sure if I could go so far as to say "vastly inferior". Windows 11 has its major issues but it also has some advantages when it comes to gaming and the xbox app.

Things seem to be more integrated (however clearly not fully given my issue I mentioned) on that front which for me is a good thing since this is a gaming pc.

Going with Windows 11 should have been an easy decision, but clearly they are screwing that up.

The problem is json is not a simple format. In one major respect it is more difficult to generate than XML. The inability to handle commas as terminators rather than separators is a disaster that immensely complicates generating arbitrary json. That aspect only appears to be useful with trusted documents and dangerous eval style processing in Javascript in the first place.

Of course it originated as JavaScript Object Notation, but it has significant downsides even as a replacement for a restricted dialect of XML. It is (regrettably) both difficult to read and difficult to generate by comparison. The absence of support for comments is a problem for ubiquitous use for configuration files as well.

Lots of "normal" plants don't produce usable seeds. Basically every apple you've ever had will produce a crab apple tree when planted, if you want to copy that tree you need to take a cutting and propogate that.

I suspect that these engineered plants don't have some specific "don't produce seeds" gene added in, they're just hybrids like a liger or a mule.

Heat pump technology has also improved significantly. You can now buy heat pumps that remain efficient down to very low temperatures, which makes them appropriate for a larger range of climates now.

Many models are in very high demand. Some of the units I looked at recently were back ordered so far that I was told to pick something else if I expected to have it within the year.

The demand is very high because the technology is good. It’s not a campaign or conspiracy.

I will also say -- UberDuck and AI TTS in general, when compared to the SURGE of development and tools that's happened on the image/video side of AI, is TERRIBLE.

UberDuck's community specifically seems geared towards kids making memes -- I suspect they just ended up there and didn't design it that way, but wading through the terrible user created models to find ones that work was tiresome.

I tried to get https://coqui.ai/ setup to do similar things, but have not been successful.

That would be pretty hilarious. I don’t think it would really work, but what could work is labeling the seeds with precise information about what patents they embody. Farmers could then collect the seeds and store them against the day the patents expire. Once the patents are expired (which can take up to 20 years), they can start planting them with no restrictions.

Given your gaming background, I can see why you don't want a Mac. But Linux? I have two kids, aged 7 and 10. They would be very much 'not amused' if I'd propose them 'tux racer' or the likes... Steam works pretty much out of the box, and there's proton as you mentioned.

Perhaps you could install a second hard disk in your machine, and make it dual-boot? Just as a POC, and to get an idea of the state of Linux gaming.

I agree with the results in the video (and the inference the author made that most of what's going on here is software processing being over-tuned rather than hardware), but I don't really think this is dispositive to the overall conversation, which is basically:

Side A: Apple makes ludicrously expensive ultra-luxe products that only the conspicuously rich buy, like Rolex or Bentley.

Side B: Apple is definitely on the premium end of the market, but generally justify their presence there due to elements of product quality, and their price positioning isn't anything like Rolex or Bentley.

I think pointing out individual instances where products exist that beat Apple products in some respect and are cheaper doesn't really weigh in on the debate. In broad terms, Apple's high end phones are at or near price comparability with other high end phones, and at or near performance/specs/value with other high end phones. Maybe a smidge above or below in some respects at different times, but basically that's where they are.

To me, Apple is closer to Volvo, or maybe in a pinch BMW, in terms of their market positioning than it is to Bentley. That's not to say you can't prefer a Kia (better value / cheaper price) or a Genesis (premium brand spun off from a traditionally cheaper competitor) or a Lexus or an Audi (in the same price tier), but more or less it makes very little sense to pretend BMW and Bentley are the same thing.

The new ACID test.
I don't know why VirtualDOM is suddenly getting a bad rep. The reason you often want something like a VirtualDOM is so that you can "pre-process" your DOM updates in-memory so that the actual updates, which are computationally expensive for the browser, can be done more efficiently.

I suspect, but this is just my personal conjecture, that the reason VirtualDOM is suddenly falling out of favour is a reaction against very bloated JavaScript applications and the complexity that underlies working with current popular frameworks and libraries. Some are starting to question whether we are working with solutions to actual problems faced or whether we've adopted approaches that were intended to solve a specific problem faced by some but are inefficient for simpler applications.

As always, be an engineer. Consider all relevant factors before choosing a set of tools or marrying yourself to one technology vs another.
I should really use automator more...
Edit: after the text you added, I believe we are essentially in agreement. IF it is accepted that the way GPT3 was created is a fair use of the works in the training data, THEN I fully agree that (1) OpenAI has every right to sell it even if (2) some uses of it would still constitute copyright infringement, since (3) only specific users would be liable for copyright infringement in their uses.

Where we differ is in how certain we are that the IF is true. I for one believe there is a good chance that the training of an LLM on copyrighted works does infringe on the copyright of those works (if no other exceptions apply, such as the LLM being trained only for academic research purposes, of course).

My original response:

Where Sony v Universal definitely applies though is when evaluating whether OpenAI's selling of GPT3 to others who then use it to create copyright-infringing works would make OpenAI liable for contributory infringement. Here, the similarities are crystal clear, and the conclusion is simple: since there clearly exist non-infringing uses of GPT3 (such as Supabase Clippy), OpenAI is fully in the clear to sell GPT3, just as much as Sony was for selling the VCR.

However, this assumes that OpenAI has the rights to the IP of GPT3 itself in the first place, which is a prerequisite to them being allowed to sell it at all. Sony certainly had the rights to the IP of the VCR - Universal never claimed that the VCR was a derivative work of their movies.

Essentially, in Sony v Universal, Universal was claiming (1) that Sony was liable for contributory infringement, since (2) all customers of Sony who used it to record and then playback a Universal show were guilty of copyright infringement. The court established that (2) was in fact fair use, and from there automatically (1) become false, since now there was an established legal way of using the Sony product.

But, in a hypothetical OpenAI v Universal, Universal could plausibly claim that (1) OpenAI is liable for copyright infringement directly, since they are distributing GPT3 , (2) which is a derived work of Universal's IP used in the training set of GPT3.
What if two or more products share the same feature?

Ask HN: Domain Lost – GitHub Email No Access
I created this throwaway because I am ashamed of my stupidity. But also because i don't want people to know, which account to try to get in.

But here it is: I have been in a bad phase in my life. I was financially ruined and didn't see that my domains were cancelled. So I missed the grace period. Someone else got ahold of the domains (unused, cant find out how to contact the person).

I need access to my github account linked to that domain. I have important repos there. But after logging in, github sent a confirmation mail to the mail address i cant access anymore.

I hope the person is no dev. Also I really hope there is no catchall mail for that domain...

I need ideas on what to do now. Github does not seem to have any contact mail that would be helpful to me. And even if, I guess, they would not remove that email by a strangers request.

But I could prove i was the owner of the domain for many years - also when the github account was created with that mail address...

Any ideas?
I currently have an AMD Thinkpad and would not get another to run Linux. For most of the life of the laptop battery life has been horrible. In the last year it has been better but still nowhere near as good as it is with Windows. AMD and Lenovo are both aware it is an issue, it is not restricted to this Thinkpad, but neither care enough to devote resources to tracking down and resolving the cause. I'm guessing because the Linux laptop market isn't large enough for them to devote the resources to.
Rust's security improvements the comment I'm replying to mentions come from the fact it is memory safe. C/C++ are just the obvious comparison for a very popular memory unsafe language.
I have traveled extensively too and cannot disagree with anything that was written. I would like to stress that while some places the poor experience lies with the end sites placing restrictions, my personal experience is the governments are primary reason for the bad experience. In part there are cultural differences behind the governments placing regulations on their local internet, but theres fault with the site operators too.

For example in many Asian countries they filter and block US and Western European sites with impunity but do not do the same from Chinese sites. Why aren't the giant companies in western democracies lobbying these countries to remove the blocks or change the rules? These companies clearly have no issues dumping money towards political agendas but why not this? I suspect they don't want to risk their own a ability to service China so they stay quiet.

These companies are complicit in allowing China to seize and hold sway of the people's of many countries. These companies are betraying the core values that allowed them to grow to such large sizes. Unfortunately the US government also seems not to care either.

So what you're left with is a massive percentage of the population that, for example, has no idea who tank man is and what he was doing. China has learned well from US big tech and has applied their influence without opposition and now quite literally welcomed.
> I shall refer you to my first post up there!

No, that's what _you_ think the reason is or should be. I'm asking what the reason (or answer) is that the _SEC_ gives in the application process.

> The SEC is saying that these schemes are securities, and you categorically cannot operate unregistered security schemes. The SEC is saying that these things must be registered, and until/unless they are registered they must stop.

My question was about the registration. If you _want_ to register, and the SEC replies with "<silence>", what are you supposed to do? Or if you ask if you should register, and get met with silence. I don't disagree with your assessment of "The SEC is saying that these schemes are securities", but instead of answering the question upfront they seem to prefer to punish/fine after the fact. Worst of all, they ban Kraken from ever offering any staking services in the future, even _if_ there is/will be a legal way to do it.

I _understand_ Gary's SEC's stance of keeping everything deliberately vague that way, because it gives him a lot of power to punish and discriminate on a one-off basis. I agree with Peirce (and CFTC's Pham) that's it's a bad and very lazy way to "regulate" (air quotes) though.
It’s called: product market fit. When people like your products, they talk about them.

I have heat pumps through a mini split system. I like them so much I’m redoing my entire HVAC to add ducts with heat pump powered heating and AC. They’re kind of a miracle: they produce great heat (way better than a gas-powered furnace), they’re ultra-efficient, and they’re whisper quiet.
I guess the concern I have with all this is that my current system works well, and I don't want to spend $10K+ unless it brings down my heating costs significantly. Could a ground-source heat pump system do that?
