> In the immediate aftermath of the pipeline bombing, the American media treated it like an unsolved mystery. Russia was repeatedly cited as a likely culprit, spurred on by calculated leaks from the White House—but without ever establishing a clear motive for such an act of self-sabotage, beyond simple retribution. A few months later, when it emerged that Russian authorities had been quietly getting estimates for the cost to repair the pipelines, the New York Times described the news as “complicating theories about who was behind” the attack. No major American newspaper dug into the earlier threats to the pipelines made by Biden and Undersecretary of State Nuland.
Is that not exactly how MacOS works?
If you know the way the US often imposes sanctions, it entails prohibition of both buying and selling from sanctioned parties. I work on many sales and procurement systems in the US that call services such as Amber Road or Descartes that scan the government provided lists of sanctioned parties before a PO or SO can be placed, delivered, or billed. Russia not selling its gas to an adversary is a simple sanction of this kind.

Yep! And people just want big screens to view content.
I interpreted the comment differently. I thought it was saying that the pressures and anxieties of 'high anxiety' STEM people are not necessarily representative of the average person's experience. I.e. saying that the readers of hacker news are more likely to feel the stresses of feeling the need to be hyper successful, whereas others migh on average be more well adjusted

Data is king in AI. And nobody beats Google there. They will figure out how to leverage that advantage.
I can't wait for people to switch over from search engine optimization to AI model optimization: figuring out what kind of content you need to produce in order for Google's and OpenAI's models to deliver your message as gospel.
Through Steam, tested on three different verified for steamdeck games.

When woken back up, steam will recognize the controller (so you can use it to navigate the UI), but the running game will revert back to keyboard and mouse.

Using the controls on the steamdeck itself also does not work in game (only the touchpad that emulates the mouse).

So you have to resort to quitting the game and re-launching it.

It was pretty annoying finding this out in the middle of an epic Vampire Savior run.
That's been the most direct result of the Ukraine conflict for me, lack of russian birch in the market. My lumberyard is still selling it, but at $150 for a sheet of 18mm 5x5. Are the impacts on apple ply because they use european wood as well?
That's assuming it's implemented as a fixed-type, while my understanding is most follow the IEEE 754 standard that uses floating-point types.

Yes and no.

Yes, finally we are going to see a shift, but their 'dominance' is not going to necessarily change that much in some kind of 'step function'.

I suggest that Siri is about to get a lot better, and act more like we wanted it to act a decade ago.

As amazing as ChatGPT is, it's actually not that useful for most regular people other than as a more human form of search.

I think Google results will improve quickly enough that whatever MS does will seem novel but not necessarily have some kind of huge consumer impact.

We'll see search for company info and help directories get a lot better.

Remember that both MS and Google are 'etablished' companies, the later a bit slow moving and not firing on all fronts.

Why would anyone think a company that can't get Skype to work, is going to marvel the world with some 'new thing'.

OpenAI folks are on a roll, rapidly trying to make cool looking experiments, focused on 'wowing the world' not on direct revenues. Making that translate into products is another dimension altogether.

The most interesting stuff will come from startups.
>Touchscreens are worse than buttons

Hottest take I've seen on here for a while. In a very specific, very limited set of mobile usecases, buttons may offer a more pleasant experience than a touchscreen. I only say that because there's usually exceptions to any statement, but I can't actually think of one.

Touchscreens didn't win because of some lazy sheep-like consumerism, they won because the product is superior. If Chat-GPT style models defeat traditional search engines it will be because the product is better, not because people are content with a response that "seems correct."
Interesting, I wasn't aware of that one.
I think `-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS` is more appropriate for catching this bug, but `-D_GLIBCXX_SANITIZE_VECTOR` seems useful for cases like this: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/EjrdoTYPs

This is really the main problem with "safe modern C++": to get actual safety you need dozens of weird implementation-specific opt-ins and there's no good way to learn that these even exist.
I did. I even asked ChatGPT if having "please" and "thank you" included in my prompts affects it in any way shape or form—it told me "No".

I still do it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
maybe the problem is why do you need 3436 binaries there?

When you independently discover commonly used techniques (often without even realizing it), it's usually a good sign you're working on and thinking about cool stuff! Eventually one of those ideas will be entirely novel (you've probably already had many of them), and that's how scientific progress is made.
How many would buy a gaming-first phone (by Valve)? I don't quite know what such a product would mean in practice, or if there is a killer "app" (game) for phone. But it would have higher probabilities of success than "a real Linux phone".

that means nothing. fresh install of a custom image? fresh install of what ISO image? insider build or release build? maybe the DNS server being used by default is being hijacked, or the ISO they created, if they created one, has an app installed by the ISO creation tool which made it. not all of those are legit.

I set up a VM and installed Windows 11 Home on it and captured all traffic after initial setup and a reboot. I saw nothing going to any non-microsoft domain.
Microsoft's integration of ChatGPT with Bing is really bad. No-one wants a busy search page with a side-bar of ChatGPT; what's the point of that?

The correct interface for ChatGPT + search is just...ChatGPT. But it can also show you a list of web search results, when it's appropriate.

A super-clean interface, that always shows you exactly what you want.

That would be a killer feature and represent a real threat to Google.
Bing is my default on my work and home PC as I use edge, I've been too lazy to change it. For the most part, whenever I accidentally search something on Bing, I end up having to open up Google and search it again. Their results are still way better.
Why is it unethical? People in every day life constantly assume things about one another and take actions that affect one another without asking first, and this is a practical necessity, so if the reason is that "you may not do anything without me tell you its ok" I don't think thats a defensible position.

> I’m sorry, but there isn’t a union agreement in the world that lets you No Call/No Show repeatedly and be fine.

But there are unions agreement that say: if you are fired for any reason, come and see us. Usually the question « how is this justified ? » is not really used as a way of asking « should we help you or not ? », but rather as « which page go the handbook should we leverage to justify that this is definitely an abuse from management ».

The starting point of the discussion is that any firing is necessarily an abuse. And by extension any decision by the company is done to hurt employees.
They switched to "heck of a long time" because they had that blurb of text since the 90s. So we're talking about 2 holes in about 25 years.

Though I think I heard some criticism of what counts and what does not for that tally, maybe 20 years ago.

The project was fairly innovative of including now-standard practices like having the daemon drop its privileges.

>society began to open up more to these ideas

I'm a late 80s Gulf Coast America kid and any talk about therapy of depression growing up in the 90s/2000s was met with disbelief or family being upset that I'm not praying enough to Jesus. Those same people are now gladly taking anti-anxiety meds and dabbling in therapy.

It was obvious to me as a kid that plenty of people need some form of help or therapy even if it's just being open and honest about issues and feelings to those around them.
Funnily enough, the article could just as well be commissioned/suggested by an American organization or person. The USA could easily shoulder the responsibility even if they did not do it, and the goals would be:

- show how firm they have been "back then": an interesting narrative in light of recent events (the balloon)

- deflect fire from the allied or friendly country who actually did it: Sweden, Poland who boldly supported Ukraine right from the start of the war?

Seymour could also have been trapped by a source he previously knew at the CIA and who decided to play its own game. Anyway the article lacks credibility on several aspects raised by weatherlight and erentz. The existence of said source just a few monthes after the events is in itself suspicious.
I think you're talking about evaluating the interpolating polynomial at a single value, but others are talking about getting all of the coefficients of the interpolating polynomial.

Recently I opened a government document in Acrobat Reader and was told I needed a paid version to edit it.

I assumed it was a permission issue and whoever created the doc made a mistake, but now I wonder if they're going to rug pull PDF editing and sell it back to us as a subscription. Governments should be preemptively mandating a ban on PDFs if there's even a hint of anyone making moves to charge the end-user for document viewing, filling, submitting.
it works (but seriously, I had so many issues with qbittorrent. probably because of being on m1 mac).

It's also much more simplified / basic.
Open source is not the same thing as FOSS. If you have too restrictive of a license then it is not free as in freedom. Only free as in free beer.
Stadia wasn't really that innovative, how many times has cloud/streaming gaming been done before? I can think of at least 3.

Also, it's already dead.
I suppose successful new product? It’s already closed.
I don't expect it to work either. But there is probably enough water. Maybe not other stuff.
I think community colleges are one of those under-appreciated excellent institutions the US has (in addition to our institutions and systems that actually do kinda suck, compared to our peers, that get a lot more attention). They're available just about everywhere that many people live, it's pretty easy to get them to give you a chance unless you have a very recent history of being a committed academic screw-up—even if your history's a bit unusual, or you've had some screw-ups farther in the past—and in a couple years you can establish a record that represents a big step toward achieving an at-least middling life outcome, while opening up access to the next steps.

I hope the admissions process and the rest of it was still relatively painless, despite their not recognizing your school. I'm sure immigration itself was pretty unpleasant—sorry about that :-/
thats about 3% of their workforce according to the article.

Funny, I’d assume the exact opposite. After all much of the understanding of privacy and statistics at scale was developed after 1980.

Be very, very concerned with any vulnerabilities that cause crashes. Someone may discover a way to control where the process points to, and now you have a way more serious issue.

Unions can also take advantage of employees, and set them against each other.

In my friends union shop, the union prohibits working from home because >50% of union members have to do hands on work and are jealous of the computer workers. The majority had the votes so the union fought against WFH, and management caved.

Permanently shutting it down significantly constrains options for anyone who might seize power in Russia next.
I have one and I got to say: I'm blown away.

After I got one, I 100% one game (Vampire Survivors), am close to another one (Hades) and have been playing here and there almost every day.

I bought both a PS5 and an Xbox Series X after 2021 but, despite having them for over 1 year each, I think I already played my Deck in 2 months way more hours.

The way that it instantly boots up in your game, ready to go, is amazing. If I'm frustrated with some programming task at work, for example, I pick it up, fire Hades, play for 1 or 2 stages for 5 minutes and my brain is reset.

It is not perfect, obviously. It is bigger in person than it looks on pictures or videos, specially with the case (it takes 30% of a backpack, for example).The battery lasts very little on demanding games. When putting on a TV or monitor, the lower resolution will show. When plugging it in, you don't really get any boosts.

However, it is such a great experience overall. I was playing very little because I never wanted to go to the sofa, turn the console on, stay seated, wait for it to power, etc... With the Steam Deck, I'm in and out in literal seconds, anywhere.

I bought one truly expecting to barely play it like I was playing my consoles, but the opposite happened.

I truly thing that the Steam Deck is the start of a new era. I can't wait for the Deck 2, the "Linux" console likes and such. I'm sold.

Well what else are we supposed to do with them?
Why just those countries? Surely some countries in the middle east would be interested in opening and supplying petro products to a new market. What about China? Maybe they're interested in division and weakening their nearest neighbor so they could buy up all the gas?

There are too many players with varying interests at different levels to just go off of someone's reputation and an unnamed source. Perhaps Biden or some other head of state needs to come along and blow up this thread so that moderators and commenters alike have to find other outlets for the water they're carrying.
> No where do I see dang claiming he trusts Hersh. You're just putting words into their mouth now.

I’m not putting words in anyone’s mouth.

Given that it’s clear he wouldn’t give this post special treatment if it wasn’t from Hersh, we can reasonably infer that dang trusts Hersh more than a random poster as you suggest he should.

I don’t think you represent dang, and at question here is dang’s reasons for giving the story special treatment, which unless you are a dang sock puppet you don’t have special insight into.
Let me rephrase: if you
have a set interface touchscreens suck. No one would choose to use a touchscreen over a physical keyboard, or steering wheel, or mouse for an fps game.

It’s a crap interface compared to others but it’s the best to do anything. That’s why it won.
>> The centralization of information is going to happen one way or another

This is not necessarily the case, thanks to encryption, which plays on the side of the weak. A weak can encrypt data that a strong can never decrypt.
Agreed, the whole “this is the new search” has perplexed me. Primarily the idea that this AI is supposed to be the single point of truth. A traditional search allows the user to review a variety of contexts and viewpoints.
It’s highly concerning that this is something people seem to want (or at least, is being pushed onto them through marketing & hype), despite the huge outcry over algorithms and political agendas over the past few years…
only worked a few times for me. tried a lot of different configs... was just always stuck retrieving the metatdata.
Transmission worked straight away and has continued to behave just the same since. very happy with it!
I disagree. I was using that because it had RSS integration. Since then - RSS integration got broken for me.

Also there is something wrong with their scheduler/thread performance. Any time I add any torrents to the downloads, GUI starts to pause for multiple seconds at a time. At this point it's unusable unless you are willing to wait multiple seconds for any action that you want to do. I don't know whats wrong, but it shouldn't happen on Mac
And who determines what's been posted for zeitgeist-shaping or intellectual curiousity? And what can we say about those who have been frantically flagging this submission so their fellow community members don't get to read it?
I don't think you can fairly compare XP and Windows 11 given how much more Windows 11 does than XP. even just looking at enterprise management alone, XP is uncontrollable by comparison. forget all the end-user features that didn't exist in Windows XP.

might as well compare Win11 to MS-DOS if you're thinking along those lines.
They didn’t exactly stop innovating: ChatGPT itself is using tremendous amounts of innovation that was done and published by Google. What they stopped is beating their competition to launching compelling products based on the innovation they do.
Same problem, looks like; they polled Tatars who didn't leave.
Yeah, OnLive did it back in 2003!
Oh yes, the mighty Baltic states who are able to somehow lock down Russian ties to Germany. By that logic the NS2 should have never happened or German reliance to Russian gas in general. This sounds like the same stuff Russians were claiming at some point - that the Baltics are the main players in West geopolitics or what not.
What that think tank is saying make no sense, as invading/controlling Ukraine is not making a buffer zone as you can't really call something a buffer zone when it is pretty much in Russias pocket. Something like Belarus today is not a buffer zone.
Which three? Did they actually work with reasonable input latency?
It's precisely because it's so amazing that we need to sell it short.

It really is basically a statistical completion engine. Auto-suggest on steroids. By some interpretations, language models are without any semantic properties. It does not reason. It does not do symbolic manipulation. There is no chain of thought, or argument, as we understand those things, on the way to producing its output. There are no easily-identified objects in its model that map to tokens or objects related to something in the outside world.

It is predicting, with some very fancy statistics, the most probable completion to a prompt, based on the patterns in its training input. This is not a dismissal. I think it makes what it can do all the more impressive, and perhaps unsettling. Until recently, I believed something like this could never be accomplished without great advances in more traditional AI - stuff like fuzzy symbolic reasoning and programmed-in general knowledge databases.

That ChatGPT lacks such should be kept in mind. Because people seem to frequently fall for the illusion that it is reasoning, that it is doing symbolic manipulation of tokens, etc. It is not. It can't even remember or learn anything! There is no state held between prompt invocations. The architecture just feeds in the recent backlog when you run the next prompt, to help guide it with context. So it's little surprise that with the right prompts it will "lie" and then deny it. It doesn't have a concept of truth nor any memory.
See Lagrange interpolators for the general form of the interpolator used in this article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_polynomial

There's a neater general formula for generating Lagrange interpolator polynomials of any order that avoids having to perform matrix inversion.

Interpolated values can be calculated in O(N) time, so Lagrange interpolation is always faster than FFT interpolation. Calculate the left Product(0..i-1) of each term in left-to-right order. If you carry the value from term to term, you only need one multiplication per term. and the Product(i+1..N-1) of each term in right-to-left order.

Lagrange interpolators with degrees that are close to PiN tend to be smoother, with less aliasing, when processing audio signals. (N=3, 6, 9, 13, &c). Truncating the Langrange polynomial is akin to windowing in FFT. Having an order that's roughly PiN ensures that the analogous window of the Langrange polynomial has smaller tail values.
I think it’s the Polish. Apparently their relationship with Russia is similar to a very angry pitbull has with steak. They were mass rapes by the Soviets at the end of World War II and horrible conditions for the Polish during the Soviet empire.

Polish friends say there’s no shortage of young men who want the glory of blowing up something owned by the people who gang raped Grandma.
I don’t think it dismissed non-stem people, but there is plenty of data supporting anxiety correlates with intelligence. It is not surprising that HN is an anxious group.
