I think there's a disconnect about why image search is useful. Google image search will link directly to websites that illegally post paid content using Keep2share links. Thumbnails from places like pornhub also show up in the results.

It's also really useful if you care to consume curated content via Tumblr. Tumblr's search is hot garbage, maybe intentionally, when it comes to searching for adult topic blogs. Tumblr reblogs link back to the original poster as well as everyone who also interacted with it by liking or reblogging. Crawling and mapping those relationships is the core of search algorithms.

And you won't accidentally get goatse to show up. Content is already filtered, you currently have to opt in to adult content. Safe search already defaults to strict, I don't believe you can directly change that even if you wanted to. There's been tons of complaints of people who toggle safesearch off but it makes no difference in results until you log in. If you are intentional about finding it, I am sure it will pop up. It's a toggle/warning sign not a cop.

I don't expect the audience of hacker news to fall for the kind of malware you're describing. And Google is still responsible for filtering out links to literal malware, regardless of context.
There's no renowned newspapers left that will publish him, so he's done what every other conspiracy crackpot does and started a Substack.
I just looked up ngrok right now and it looks really cool, but I wonder what people actually use it for? Are people actually running production software this way, or is it just for sharing e.g. demos with coworkers? If the latter, it seems to me like a narrow use case that can already be served by automated devops stuff.

Again this is new to me, so I'm probably missing some obvious use cases. Do you use it for anything in particular?
Yeah--I have no problem with the existence of Safe Search. It's a good idea for the internet naive who can innocently get some shocking material. However, it should be under more user control. Hey, Google Translate, please interpret this in it's sexual sense, not it's innocent sense! I haven't figured out any way to do this. (I wanted it to translate the dirty word for penis--and I never figured out how to do it. It will translate dirty words if it doesn't have a choice.) And it shouldn't require logging in!
So you believe in absolute personal freedom except when you don't like its consequences and in curtailing personal freedom except when doing so might inconvenience you personally?
I believe the "APU" is mostly marketing - unfortunate but true.
It's just a standard Windows 11 computer, so it is entirely trivial.

They have a fullscreen console-like interface you can choose to launch, but it's completely unnecessary apart from controlling the TDP of the device. So, I just use the normal Windows desktop, and launch games just as if it were any other Windows computer. You could also use the Steam Deck's game launcher interface on Windows, which is now available on any Windows computer as an alternative to the traditional Steam Big Picture Mode.
When I was in high school (in the UK) we had a talk from someone who had been the Principle Private Secretary to the prime minister in the 80s and 90s, as well as cabinet secretary. Similar roles to Bernard and Sir Humphrey.

He commented on how incredibly accurate the show was, not just in the humour, but in the rules, regulations, behaviour of the characters, etc.

Even small details were accurate, like the time Jim (through Bernard) locks the door between Downing St and the cabinet office. We were told how there was a single door, and use was a privilege afforded to specific roles, and it could be cut off.

For all its excellent humour, it was especially biting for how true and accurate it was about basically everything. The scenarios were all cleverly written to be generic enough to be timeless, while also specific enough to the time.

We still argue about the value of nuclear deterrents, for example, and the politicians still mindlessly chase votes and vote winning ideas and slogans.
> And yet when I read the comments, I see this sort of calm acceptance that of course this technology is going to take over search. Why is everyone so confident?

It is difficult to get a man to critically evaluate something if his future salary depends upon his unquestioning acceptance of it.

Thus, if you have a minute, try "%.20f" instead of %f.

Or, how about this:
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
for (int prec = 0; prec < 25; prec++)
{
printf("%.*f\n", prec, 57.0 / 100.0 * 100.0);
}
return 0;
}

Output:

57
57.0
57.00

57.00000
57.000000

The 64 bit double will store 15 decimal digits reliably. That is to say, if you have a decimal figure with 15 significant digits, which is in range of the type (and not mapping to a denormal value close to zero and whatnot), all 15 digits are representable and can be recovered.

In the reverse direction, you need about 17 decimal digits in order to capture an 64 bit double as decimal text such that the exact value can be recovered from the decimal text.

Thus in the above loop's output, once we are past 17 digits (including the 56 before the decimal point), we are no longer seeing any new data, just a continuation of the fraction.

And, notice how the last value that is still 57.000.... is exactly 15 digits wide. The next row is 16 digits, and that's where we now have 56.9999.... but 16 digits isn't quite enough to capture the value. I believe the next row gets us that: the ...99929. If we use that as a constant, any digits after that make no difference.

Programming languages which, by default, print floating-point values to 15 digits will show the nice result .1 + .2 = .3.

This is what I did in TXR Lisp.

1> *print-flo-precision*
15
2> (+ .1 .2)
0.3
3> (set *print-flo-precision* 16)
16
4> (+ .1 .2)
0.3
5> (set *print-flo-precision* 17)
17
6> (+ .1 .2)
0.30000000000000004

We can see there is no value difference in digits beyond 17:

7> (eq 0.30000000000000004 0.300000000000000049)
t
8> (eq 0.30000000000000004 0.300000000000000040)
t

To get different value (different floating-point bit pattern), we need a difference in the 17th digit. And not just a single increment:

9> (eq 0.30000000000000004 0.30000000000000003)
t
10> (eq 0.30000000000000004 0.30000000000000002)
t

The last digit being 3 and 2 is still mapping to the same value. When we make it 1, we start getting a different float:

11> (eq 0.30000000000000004 0.30000000000000001)
nil

I love, love, love Teenage Engineering's design and they create really cool products, but this seems too crazy a price point even for them.

When they released the TX-6 mixer for $1199 I almost understood their reasoning, since pro audio equipment has always been overpriced, and they clearly put a lot of thought into it and it had a somewhat unique set of features, and most of all it was beautifully designed, but this... This is plywood on an aluminum frame. What's unique about this? Maybe I'm finally just too removed from the target market. Could somebody help me understand if there's something I'm missing?

This might be true, although I think it depends on the age group of the people committing suicide.

I forget where I heard this, but I believe a significant number of people committing suicide have a high correlation with other issues like chronic pain (e.g., https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24916035/) or addiction. I'm suspicious that those white people have the kinds of problems you're referring to because I suspect their peers are less likely to be successful or affluent, as people with chronic pain issues probably are more working class, performing physical labor that results in their issues.

(Granted, I suppose there is probably a racial element that would account for why, if this is the case, more white people with chronic pain issues kill themselves vs. black people with chronic pain issues.)

This is obviously speculation, but so is your comment. I find both to be potentially likely. The scenario you came up with seems more likely for younger people (probably not experiencing chronic pain), and the scenario I came up with is potentially more likely for older people. But we're just spitballing some hypotheses here.
Porn addiction?? Basically a made-up issues by the puritans.
That's fine. Turks will depose him soon. As for NATO, Turkey leaving NATO only helps Russian sphere of influence and any anti-dictatorship person would be against that.
> Can you think of other activities that require this?

Well, reading books (and other documents). I also am suspicious of screens (and specially spending too much time on them... I'm certainly guilty), but the existence of books is somewhat confusing in this regard. However, I really don't think the population as a whole was reading quite as many books/documents as we today use digital devices or social media. That could be cutting into other things, like sun exposure, exercising, perhaps face-to-face social relationships, social support networks.

Something I've noticed since about that time as well is a growing unease and pessimism with our collective future (and even present!). Some things are bleak (like climate change, uncertainty with technologies, etc.), but there's a sense of little hope that definitely should have an impact on the youth. I remember the 90s as a quite hopeful time and that definitely had an impact on my mood. My personal contribution would be spreading more hope about life.

Ask HN: Are declarative UI frameworks the way forward in all 2D UIs?
Lately I have been learning Jetpack Compose (for Android). Its new and shiny, like its counterpart SwiftUI (Apple), but there are older frameworks that take this approach, like React.

The main problem being solved, according to the marketing materials, is that its easier to keep state in sync with UI by regenerating the UI as state changes. Lots of work goes into avoiding updating the tree of UI that hasn't changed. This sounds good.

Is the declarative approach the way forward for all 2d UIs (even outside mobile)? Is there still merit with the older approach of stateful widget trees and mutating their state imperatively? Where will we see the traditional (imperative) way maintain its niche compared to declarative UIs?
And the deteriorating job market when they get out. My son has struggled/struggles with this. I 100% understand and I would, too, if I were in his position. I compare his situation to mine and they are night and day. The prevailing sentiment when I was in college: get a degree (in anything) and you'll be OK if you want to work hard.
It's almost like the goal is not censorship for censorship's sake, but rather the goal is actually protecting the more vulnerable (which in this case is clearly the Turkish people and not Erdogan). It's almost like there are principles at play!

> let's give WineHQ a bit of credit here [..] But the Wine team deserves a boatload of praise too.

The Wine team deserves a ton of praise that IMO is often directed to Proton BUT WineHQ has always been a useless experience for me. It needs a massive cleanup since it contains data from ancient versions of Wine, there is barely enough information to figure out what is going on and the whole "bronze, silver, gold, etc" rating is completely subjective with people rating something "bronze" because a pixel is off in some application and something "gold" despite being unable to use some major functionality.

Sadly ProtonDB seems to be going the same way, the main saving grace right now is that it doesn't have all the baggage accumulated over decades (and it is focused on games - Wine still has to get all Win32 APIs for UIs, etc working for regular applications that Proton doesn't have to care beyond whatever little functionality is used for launchers) but still has the whole subjective thing (a favorite case of mine is Rage[0] which has lots of comment about broken textures etc with others saying that the game works fine - and it takes some searching to figure out that the people who are fine have Nvidia GPUs while the people with issues have AMD GPUs - while in a few cases, people recommend the game while at the same time mentioning the textures are broken!).

I am old enough to remember when Turkish army was overthrowing its government on behave of the West and abusing its own citizens, none of you bleeding heart liberals where shedding any tears.The world does not subscribe to liberal secular values, and Muslim world does not.

He really didn't. People who don't really know his work think he just makes mobster movies. But he is actually a quite a varied filmmaker. How does being "depressed, violent, and Italian" fit into The Last Temptation of Christ (which controversially reinterpreted Jesus' story), or Hugo, about the great French filmmaker Georges Méliès? Or Kundun about the Dalai Lama? Or Silence about Japanese Christians?

That makes sense. I wonder how these transparent displays handle the focus issues though. If you're not looking at your Monocle/Glasses, maybe 1in in front of your eye, but instead on something hundreds or thousands of times that distance behind it, how does the semitransparent information dense overlay appear at all, let alone in sharp focus?

The "Open source platform" part of the slideshow shows object detection at various distances. If it can box a car 20 feet away, a building 400 yards away, near objects on my breakfast plate, etc., then the plane of projection has to vary over a huge range as you look around (?). In general many of the demos I see seem to have remarkable things going on, in terms of what parts of the UI and world are in focus simultaneously.
I don't think they so much hate Musk, as hope to profit from tearing him down. He's an easy person to hate and extremely popular.

Personally, I've loved the SteamDeck since I got it. Over this past Christmas holiday, I took my SD to my parents place and tried to run Windows 11 on it to play the latest "Call of Duty" with my eager nephews. I was blown away at how I could buy an external SSD (USB3.2 2x2), install windows on it, and install and run a Triple A title with relatively little fuss.

Of course I had to run the game at "potato" settings to get a good frame rate, but I was able to hold my own with my nephews for a week.
I have trouble grasping the extend to which you appreciate the degree of thinking done by other parties for your own benefit.

It is the case that unless you are a polymath with copious amount of time and money, you will never be able to accumulate sufficient information to make fully educated decisions in a world truly devoid of censorship.

By fully educated I mean starting from the bottom up and going all the way through to reach a conclusion.

This means that every single resource you will use has to be verified, all experiments need to be conducted and evaluated.

If we don’t censor anything, then there is no point in books because editors are censoring information there.

What’s the point of journals and publications without a review process to filter out the garbage?

You could very well be a reasonable person, but without censorship to varying degrees your capacity filter garbage is hindered by simply not knowing anything to a reasonable degree of certainty exactly because no form of censorship exists. Thus your capacity to limit information based on prior knowledge is hindered as there is not an authority of any kind that you may trust exactly because there is no way to measure quality of one’s speech outside the scrutiny it passes through through established channels and authorities that already have a reputation and we may trust.

The reason we do censorship is because not all speech is benevolent, useful, or true. People will abuse the absence of censorship to attack “unwanted” people, to push lies, to misrepresent information, and to push an agenda instead of letting facts do the talking.

Why is it difficult for facts to do the talking?

> Brandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage that emphasizes the effort of debunking misinformation, in comparison to the relative ease of creating it in the first place. It states that "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."[1][2]

Now, the more bullshit that floats the more bullshit propagates and thus the less true information exists, eventually suffocating us in information garbage.

If you wish to see this in action, look into antivax groups convinced that vaccinated individuals will start dropping like flies within the next $LATEST_GOALPOST.

Or, take a look at how long it took me to explain why absolute absence of censorship simply does not work just from a view of having a consistent world model and having nobody to trust and no way of doing so.

One could extend my comment to include damage done to people or entities intentionally or otherwise. Notice how Musk pivoted out of absolute free speech when advertisers left?
Try not to call it copyright/patent law.

There is copyright law, and there is patent law, and what's true for one is almost never true for the other. Copyright is automatic. Patents are applied for and cost money. Copyright lasts 70 years from your death. Patent's last 25 years from invention. Copyrights don't prevent other people doing the same thing you did. Patents make it illegal to do the same thing, even if you separately invented it and didn't know about the first one etc.
Shutting them down for maintenance means you have leverage because you can return the flow. Irreparably destroying the pipelines means you destroy the leverage Russia might have been able to use over Germany and others.

> I think it is unreasonable to believe that the U.S. attacked the energy sources of NATO allies as they scrambled to get enough energy before the onset of winter.

Why? Physically cutting off the flow of gas from Russia has been a hug boon to US LNG business. It's had the effect of decreasing their energy reliance on Russia and increasing their reliance on the US. That's not necessarily a bad thing in the long run, as this war has demonstrated.

It also gives European elites an out to avoid pressure from their common folk to make a deal with Russia as things get cold. Harder to do that when they can theoretically just flip a switch to return the gas flow and resolve the pain.
Sorry, got emotional, can't seem to be able to delete it anymore. It's extremely infuriating situation having to deal with the consequences of what a few top officials decide the world should look like and expecting at least one side to play fair.
