Yes what you say is true and lamentable, although I don't consider using JS to be hacking it up. At this point JS is really embedded in the model of the web rather than just a sprinkle on the top.

I had hopes for webcomponents. They do work OKish, but it's harder to make and distribute a webcomponent than make a similar thing in React and that sucks.

So yah, I can see your view, but I'm still not OK with the idea of canvas based apps replacing DOM ones. I think its like the old macromedia flash model, a part of the app you cannot interactive with the same, no text selection if the dev decides to not implement that, no content blocking so we'll get ads shoved down our throat again, poorer accessibility, closed frameworks. All that kind of jazz.
It's because Political-Corporate Environmentalism is not actually about helping the environment, it is about coopting the environmentalist movement to consolidate wealth and power.

Where those two things intersect is coincidental. Reducing greenhouse gas pollution might be a great thing, but the ruling class sure isn't counting on that effort costing them any money. So if they can't see a way to make money or win votes by pushing this train derailment story they won't.
Seems to me that the biggest prize would be unearthing the temple. I would imagine it would be a much bigger draw than the museum in town. Unlike thirty years ago we have ground penetrating radar that should provide good target(s) to dig. I'd think you'd get federal funds much easier to save the dunes if you got historical building status on the temple.
For those having to endure Teams, try it from Pidgin, where you can at least e.g. customize what notifications you get and using interface that doesn't use half your RAM: https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-teams

To a news cycle it is. There will surely be longform thinkpieces, investigative journalism, and maybe a Peabody or two to come out of this in a year. But as far as national headlines, simply nobody cares about a train wreck with zero casualties somewhere in the midwest.
Nothing you claim is stated in that document you linked and as someone who has done a great deal of business with IBKR for the better part of 15 years now as well as one of the largest market makers on the Australian markets making up approximately 5% of all ASX and CHIX volume, I assure you there absolutely no protection provided to a client whose balance enters into a negative position.

Clause 3.A.e specifically states that trading on margin can result in a loss of funds greater than that deposited into your account and that you accept that risk.

In conjunction with Clause 7.K which states that you must reimburse the broker for any liabilities as a result of the liquidation undertaken by the broker.

You are always on the hook for the full amount of losses on margin.

> This seems to be an appellate decision from Aug: ...

That's the decision in the case where Thaler sued the patent office (USPTO) because it refused to issue a patent where the AI was named as the inventor. If I recall, the patent office said it would issue a patent with Thaler as the inventor, but that's not what Thaler wanted.

Thaler seems to be on some kind of crusade to get an AI recognized as a person.
There is something surreal about the last example where you take a Rick Astley video that's 9MB and it becomes 188GB after FHE. That seems like a new category of rick-rolling by some cyberpunk.
I'd have run away fast and not come back.
My reading is that, since the application was not immediately rejected, the copyright is active -- this is also mentioned in the original story I linked, which said the author had 30 days to appeal, during which time the copyright would still be active. So that's why the current status shows as "under copyright".

But I read this bit:

> "The US Copyright Office is aware of public reporting regarding an open copyright registration application. The Office has not issued a decision in this matter, and it remains ongoing"

as indicating that the status of the application is still open, that is, it's still being processed by the office, and will be closed (as accepted or rejected) once a decision is made.
The unions negotiated for more sick/emergency time (supported by Democrats but blocked by Republicans), and argued that working sick/distracted would be a safety risk, but they did not negotiate for the equipment and maintenance changes that would have prevented this derailment.

Wikipedia:

> The trains were not equipped with electronically controlled pneumatic brakes, which a former Federal Railroad Administration official said would have reduced the severity of the accident.[4] In 2017, Norfolk Southern had successfully lobbied to have regulations requiring their use on trains carrying hazardous materials repealed.[4]

> About 48 hours later, the National Transportation Safety Board said it had preliminary findings that a mechanical problem on an axle of one of the cars led to the derailment.[9]

Well, when you're playing with a ChatGPT, it may not be apparent what the cutoff date is for the training data. You may ask it something that was future when it was trained, but past when you asked.

Is Bing continuously trained? If so, that would kind of get around that problem.
I don't know if the dark stuff is something kids gravitate to by accident. The normal but adults-only stuff, for sure it's not an ideal situation but if you make it no longer two clicks away, it's three. It's extremely difficult to block content without using things like proxies and subscription services that update constantly the latest list of what-should-be-banned. And that has to be really at every edge. OK, next the government should ban or regulate all VPNs in this manner.

That's a wince for all of us non-paranoid folks.
Unsurprising. Even the love canal disaster in the US faced massive disinterest before it was quietly revealed to have been a cataclysmic environmental contamination. It boils down to this:

- rail fired a ton of employees a while ago and is now seeing serious issues due to mismanagement

- government oversight is a moderate Republican masquerading as a liberal democrat and just wants the clout from successful negotiations but the concep of most government oversight in the US is hold music at best.

- this city does not threaten harm or inconvenience elites.

- reporting this issue harms and threatens elites and could see a ripple effect during a recession. Rail is a primium mobile for most of wealths investments at some level.
Ask ChatGPT to turn math word problems into executable JavaScript. Then evaluate the JavaScript. Suddenly ChatGPT is much better at math.
I'm curious what I'm supposed to be hearing about? If we know details, I'd love to hear them. If it is finger pointing and blaming... I'll wait for an investigation.

If there has to be news coverage nonstop to get said investigation, go for it.
.. and yet, almost none do. Maybe they see it differently from you?
>even if all we are doing is creating linkages between models via API calls and other similarly "dumb" steps.

I mean isn't this what Neuroscience has discovered about the human brain?
Millions of year old fish, lizard, and mammals brains... And the neocortex, which is new.

And destroying one part basically damages the whole person.
7 seconds to add two numbers; that's roughly, what, 10 orders of magnitude slower than without FHE? I'm not sure compute is that cheap.
I don't know what you mean by "sensationalism" so I will only say this:

Such disasters need to be heavily reported on because that's the only way for better regulation and prevention.

Furthermore, there is things that have to be done for the town to become safe and for the people to be taken care of and compensated.

And that's about it, really.
Likely there is considerable overlap in ownership between the handful of railway companies that dominate the market and handful of media companies that dominate the market.

I think he has earned the right to complain.
Current AI is still using human artwork as training and the model treated as a formula/algorithm. “Generate a cat in the style of your own” isn’t gonna fly.
Copy pasting large segments of text and having it translate to some JSON data structure is a huge timesaver!
There seem to be built-in methods for serializing and deserializing crypto context as well as ciphertexts [0], so it shouldn't be too difficult to build a "complete" example that performs the actual computation in a different application. That said, with a duration of 7 seconds for a simple addition, it is still far from many practical applications, in my opinion.

Isn't it underestimating them even more to think they can't install a VPN in two clicks (which is the only thing needed to bypass this law).

Also I don't know from where you assume that an "average teen" can easily crack a manufacturer-imposed lock.

Who is the "average teen" that can take an IPhone and bypass FaceID or the Pin Lockscreen ? Which average teen can bypass a password protected secure-boot UEFI bootloader ? Which average teen finds an exploit to unlock a phone bootloader without the manufacturer key ?

If the a law would force the manufacturer to take it seriously, they could make the parental control far harder to bypass than this ridiculous and privacy invasive law
On the other hand, if anyone has a good way to explain variable-length integer encodings with constant-complexity backtracking to a child, please let me know.
I have no clue who hired them, but I heard that the special badge was only ever used for that project and for a number of specific reasons that had more to do with lawyers than finances. (A bunch of us tailgated into that building once, but we didn't manage to stay past a minute or two.)

It's all relative, anyone that's been forced to use "Skype for Business", would welcome Teams with open arms.
Oh, neat! I hadn't seen that one, thanks. :) Odd that she seems to dismiss sterile neutrinos in the OP video...
They have the ability to punt today’s labor costs to future taxpayers via unaccounted debts in the form of underfunded defined benefit pensions and retiree healthcare.

So what they see is promise low taxes today, get votes today, let tomorrow’s taxpayers deal with debt problems. I cannot blame them, the voters give the leaders the wrong incentives.
A non-core lsp library having a bug doesn't justify moving from emacs to vscode. Especially if you use org-mode, org-roam, or customize your workflow with elisp.
> Anybody in charge for long enough loses the muscle of being able to accept questions or criticism.

Perhaps, but more importantly anyone inclined to accept questions or criticism rather than assuring that they get credit for success and someone else gets blame for failure just doesn’t get to be in charge at all, because they end up getting stuck with the blame for other people’s failure while the credit for their success is stolen.
I'm shocked I have to scroll down so far to see someone complain about that. He absolutely is shifting 100% of the blame for him killing someone onto the person he killed.

If anyone can suggest a better title, we can change it again. The definition of better title (for HN purposes) is "more accurate and neutral, and preferably a representative phrase drawn from the article itself".
I take my NReal Airs on planes. I use it for movies etc as well as private computer usage. I would recommend.
Isn't run by the same people, but I doubt they are that far from the tree, as it were.

And I don't mean that they are evil or some such. But rising in those ranks almost certainly embeds some behaviors.
No, it's about the story itself.

If you see a news title reading "This happened there and you haven't heard about it" but you have actually heard about it, just move on.

What's the point of saying "I have actually heard about it?".
If they want to make false claims and not back them up then my two-cents is more than they deserve. This article does nothing to reinforce the headline. It's just a clickbait summary that leads to myself and others flaming the article rather than the kind of discussion that's worthwhile on HN.
I have to ask: what the hell is wrong with your perception?

What other IM/AV applications have you used before, and on what hardware?

If you've never seen better, it's not surprising that you'd think Teams is good.

I vividly remember that 20 years ago there was MSN Messenger, and the experience was far better than that of Teams on hardware at least an order of magnitude less powerful. After that was (pre-MS) Skype, which was also not that bad.

Teams is an absolute pig in comparison. It works --- just barely. Audio and video calls are probably what it does best, and "best" is relative. For IM, it's beyond horrible.
The reason that I'm scolding those users is not "disagreement". Disagreement implies that they have something to offer - an opposite point of view, or perhaps info conflicting with what I said. They don't, because they didn't even get the point of the text linked in the OP. Or the context where it was written, even if it's blatantly obvious for anyone actually reading it.

>You might have been serious or not when writing that, but framing your comment in a more positive manner will result in better discussion.

Frankly, the users who might get their very, very precious feelings hurt with this "learn to read" are most likely the ones who won't contribute jack shit to the discussion, no matter how polite of a tone you might use with them.

___________________________

Now, yet another thing that those users didn't get is that this text is two, perhaps three decades old. Things have changed and nowadays developers put a bit more of thought into the users. Even then, the general idea - "who cares about your data structure, show results that the users benefit from!" is still important.
I guarantee they got all kinds of hate and weirdness sent their way, too. Any game with a notable userbase does, including the commercial ones. Like, weird, personal, abusive shit from people who demonstrably (it's pretty clear from their "ideas") have no idea what they're talking about and evidently have unfortunate (for everyone else, anyway) amounts of free time on their hands.

And I don't just mean "you monetized this in a way I dislike" or "boo, DRM" or "you had dozens of game-breaking bugs at launch" or whatever, which, maybe don't be a dick about it, but at least I get why those things upset people and, especially in the last case, why they might get a bit entitled-seeming about it, since they did part with money—no, it's over the tiniest, most trivial stuff, including, often, things that are the way they are for a very good reason and would piss off 100x as many people if the abusive jerk got his (or her, I guess... but realistically, it's just about always a "his") way. But no, this minor thing is wrong so you're incompetent and any idiot could do better and [some names they somehow came up with, sometimes with disturbing accuracy] who worked on that part should be fired immediately. JFC. They'll spam you with this crap, on every channel they can.

And that's if you're not a woman prominent in the project. Then you get the creeper shit, too.

There's no possible way the DF devs haven't seen their fair share of that.

(though, sure, they were ultimately able to monetize it in a way that very few passion projects of that sort ever can, and certainly not utility open source libraries—that part of the story's way different)
Union negotiations shut down by Biden and Congress included safety reforms regarding car length and working hours. Both were factors in this derailment: https://www.rutgers.edu/news/why-did-government-step-prevent...
I've often wished for something that I'm calling (in my fiction) The Ministry of Indices.

It would be their job to rank things. Things like media coverage. We could turn to the MoI and see that this chemical spill got a 4 and then compare with other events.

Sure, it's subjective all the way down. People will always quibble about the outputs of services like that. But having a number that some expert (statistician?) or organization thereof came up--even if you disagree with them--with would make for more nuanced conversation and decision making around that thing.
Our brains are prediction engines with decades of experience and millions of years of pretrained instincts to hone in on specific things better. We're better in a lot of ways, but that doesn't mean we can't work toward engineering things that are better in other ways. We've already done this with entire classes of problems (i.e. computable ones) with computers already. No reason we can't expand on this with our own models of prediction.
Neither is the lack of luxury housing
Not exactly. 3.4 BTC received. Depending on when the donations were made it could be more or less than $73000.

Though it does look like he held ~1 BTC until Nov 2020 and then transferred it out. So it's possible he's actually received roughly the equivalent of $73000 USD from those donations
I mean, not being able to do literally anything with my property doesn't mean I don't own it. You can't run a meth lab in your house--you still own it. Etc. IDK if I'm making a straw man here, but just want to say there's always limits.

I think a year or two is reasonable, but I generally don't like the mechanism of eviction. I live in the Netherlands and they do either fixed term or indefinite contracts here. Details are here [0], but the gist is that tenants get some stability while landlords can chance a vacancy period and raise rents while they're vacant and not rent controlled.

I'm a cofounder at Lotus (https://github.com/uselotus/lotus).

First, congrats on the launch Lago. I've been very impressed with your ability to educate devs about the intricacies of billing and you are certainly pushing the entire space forward.

While you offer coupons and credit notes, there are features you don't have that we have prioritized and built, including, usage alerts, plan versioning, gauge metrics, custom sql etc. etc. Point being I think its unfair to say we are a subset of your product.

In addition, we have a 25+ year billing expert on our team who has been CTO of a startup processing $300 million a year.

Lastly, I don't think it's fair to make statements about our customers just because we haven't "announced" them yet.

Happy to chat more with anyone about our differences.
More than eerily, it's where the crash in that film was staged.

A lot of these issues, unfortunately, exist because a huge chunk of Chicago media simply doesn't understand legal processes involved in criminal cases or even where to begin researching. It gets technical, quickly, and many of the reporters I know shy away from anything technically nuanced . That includes court reporters. So much of it has become political arbitrage, and policing/jailing institutions are well aware of the lack of understanding of their systems. It's beyond wild to me that many seasoned reporters out there who've been on these beats for years who don't even know how to answer fundamental questions through FOIA requests. It's understandable to a point because of the low pay in Chicago journalism, but it manifests as legitimate harm all over the place. I'm convinced we'll get there.
There are some US companies on their sponsors section so maybe it is possible:

This feels like a reply in bad faith. The point that the parent comment is making is that the title of the article isn't convincing, it's just making a provocative statement with no backing.
Trains derail all the time. It’s dog bites man, not man bites dog.
Honestly, I had it the other way for quite a while: Shadow DOM harmed my adoption/excitement of Custom Elements for a long time. :) I spent quite a while back in the day with x-tags and other Web Component things, trying to avoid Shadow DOM, because I wanted everything on the page & not nested in subdocuments.

These days I'm more open to anything. It's definitely a bit exciting everytime I need to parse something with Shadow DOM, a lot more work to really understand what the page is. Last thing I had to parse was chrome://gpu, and it took 3 hours instead of 1 hour to do the job, but could have been worse. But it was at least possible. Sometimes though, with closed shadowroot, the page has gained a resistance to userscripts (as this commenter reports[1]), and this seems purely evil/bad/totalitarian, in a distinctly un-web way!

Weirdly Web Components and Shadow DOM are both tools in the same effort, but Web Components is trying to get everything clearly onto the page, and Shadow DOM has always felt like trying to hide a lot of the page; as someone who loves the web as an interchange of information, Web Components seemed interesting & enriching & useful & value add, and Shadow DOM seemed like a tightening/winnowing/control thing, that didn't express my values. More neutral today, and seeing things like CSS styling performance wins it's clear there are solid technical wins for the platform, but especially closed Shadow DOM feels so overtly control-oriented & totalistic in design, in direct counter to the openness / togetherness / intertwingularity that made the web so interesting & rich & unique a computing space. (It still remains unclear to me that closed shadow-root disappearing into your own pocket universe ought to be permitted, but I'm not as scared as I was.)
