I have two Plusnet Hub Ones at home being used as wireless access points. Both are flashed with OpenWrt and one has AdBlock installed; that one is the house's primary DNS server, with OpenDNS upstream.

Coupled with uBlock origin on all laptops and PCs, the online world is very ad-free.

If I bypass the blocking I am dismayed by how much ad crap there is out there.
If it's so easy to see what's up with what I wrote above, then it should be
pretty easy to say what's up with it. You've already written 87 words to
dismiss it, but not a single word to say why you dismiss it.

I think that's because you have no idea how to explain why something is, or
isn't understanding, or reasoning.

In your comment above you accuse people of not being able to tell you clearly
why GPT-4 is not reasoning or understanding, but you, yourself, can't even
say clearly why copy/paste isn't. You have no clue how to do that. If you can't
even say why something isn't reasoning, or understanding, then how can you say
that something is? Do you even know what you're talking about, when you're talking about "reasoning" and "understanding"?
You're using virtual environments, right?

The point being that it was vital for the success of Linux that there were hackeres willing to reverse engineer closed hardware to make it run. That there are now official and open source drivers for a lot of hardware is a directly consequence of it.

Why are you so determined to carry water for people that dislike Elon who don't know you exist and wouldn't care if you did?

But all jokes aside, he quotes a real person, responding to an anonymous source. Why does that warrant a personal attack?

Broadcom exploits over the years would disagree. So would Samsung's hardware encryption. So would TPM. So would BadUSB. So would everything related to Bluetooth. Et cetera.

No matter what kind of engineering you do, don't try to predict the future. Engineer towards ease of maintenance and ease of update/deployment instead.

The discussion is essentially about whether you want to lull people into a false sense of security by encrypting some e-mails, or having people self-censor because they know that all e-mails are sent in the open. As it is, encrypting some of the correspondence will only deter those third parties who give up early. Meanwhile any larger organization, such as a state actor, will still be able to easily read your correspondence even with such an "encryption" scheme.

> Another benefit of cheap bus stops is under-utilized stops can be removed with less investment lost

According to the public transit authority around here, if you remove a bus stop (due to, say, a drop in transit usage) and try to bring it back later (after usage of transit goes back up), it can take up to five years to see ridership recognize that, and start to use the stop at the same rate as when it was removed. It may be cheaper to leave the stop there long-term.

But the source material might be less marketable and therefore less profitable. So it might be less work, but it would also mean less money, hence the changes.

As an older person in a small country, no results at all come up for me. I suggest a way to find people with different or no filters. Within 4 hrs of time zone might be a good one.

This will help prevent adoption stalling because people come in and see nothing.

Right, but through which mechanism does that maKe a difference? Does controller periodically rewrite all contents? In other words how, does being powered-on increase retention of static data?
Yeah, the whole point of that was that "it's dark as shit, no-one can see anything, everyone is everywhere, no-one can see what's going on, everyone is scared, no-one has a scoob what's happening even a foot away".

I thought it played nicely with the use of light to stylise the rest of the world - Westeros with its bright but slightly murky look, like a busy city in Central Europe, Winterfell, The Wall, and the north with its flat grey shadowless light from an overcast sky, and the searing oranges and yellows of the desert-y parts of Essos that looked and felt hot to look at.

I don’t know the specifics, but there is a difference between a supposedly open hardware and one that was made for proprietary usage. Apple won’t go out of their way to make drivers for a different OS, but they don’t hinder it at all. Our expectations should be in the context of a given product.

Partially its because the details are somewhat opaque. I do buy new drives from reputable brands, but can find it hard to know what I gain and what I lose at different price points within those manufacturers. It's hard to even find out which drives are dram less, never mind what other features they have that impact reliability. From the days of ibm deskstars I've also learned that drive model reliability is likely only understood by the time its off the market.

(I agree in principle that used or off brand drives seem insane to me, but at the same time, I do live on laptops I buy used so their drives are actually used as well :/)

Hmm, there was a HN thread about this a few days ago [1] where everyone seemed to attack people for even considering the idea of storing 5M files in a cloud storage solution, going so far as to argue that even disclosing such a limit would be unreasonable to expect.

In this thread, the prevailing thought seems to be that having a 5M file limit is unreasonable and adding it without disclosing it is egregious.

Just a curious thing I noticed.

Ask HN: Who said that Yan LeCunn signed the FLI open letter?
Hey HN! I'm trying to understand what happened with Yan LeCunn and that FLI open letter.

The Guardian today says that the letter "racked up signatures from people who did not actually sign it, including Xi Jinping and Meta’s chief AI scientist Yann LeCun, who clarified on Twitter he did not support it."

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/31/ai-research-pause-elon-musk-chatgpt

I followed the link to Yan LeCunn's tweet from the Guardian article and in the tweet LeCunn says he did not sign the letter.

But who said he signed it? Why does the Guardian say LeCunn's signature was on the letter?

I can't find LeCunn's signature on the letter now, but that doesn't say anything on its own. Who said LeCunn's signature was on the letter?

Fake videos and pictures have been around for decades. Before that, fake books and documents went "viral" (notable: the protocols of the elders of Zion, prester John's letter, the donation of Constantine).

You should not be more worried now that you were before, but yes this stuff will be believed by people, and we should strive to educate them so people can better understand their reality.
The problem isn’t that you are paying too much in taxes. Your taxes are fine. The problem is the super wealthy aren’t paying their share of taxes. Don’t get mad at me. Get mad at the top 0.01% and their cronies. Look at how carried interest died again in Congress.

Also, we can and should fix the tax system so any state income tax you pay reduces your federal income tax bill. So for example, in your case, the ten percent or so that you pay to California (or the flat four percent in case of Colorado) gets effectively paid back to you by the federal government (even if you choose standard deduction). This would immediately give you a little breathing room. This would also encourage states from artificially keeping their income tax low.

Ideally I’d like to see an end to all credits, deductions, and exemptions but I don’t see it happening so this is pretty much the best I can think of…

That and either California needs to repeal the idiotic prop 13 from 1978 that from what I understand keeps property taxes artificially low or we need to enact a federal property tax of about 7% (and effectively exempt the equivalent of a national median two bedroom unit per owner/co-owner). That’s a conversation for another day. For now let’s focus on federal income tax.

I don’t know how to solve this wealth tax problem.

Since you shared your withholding, let me share a metric that everyone in the US can agree on:

Divide line 24 by line 1a (not line 9!!!) and multiply it by 100. Forget about all the other things you pay. We paid under 16 percent in 2022 and under 22 percent in 2021. Do not include Medicare. Do not include state taxes. Just do plain simple math with the FIT. (You don’t need to share the final number here. It is just for you.)

> like $4500/mo for daycare

Ideally, I’d like to see an end to all silly credits, deductions, and exemptions and things like that.

It is absurd to me that you would want to not pay taxes on your daycare expenses. I think the proper solution is for the state to offer free of cost (actually free of cost, no hidden charges) daycare for all children. This is just the tip of the iceberg though. We are just overly against supporting all parents. All children, regardless of income or assets, should have access to WIC and ideally we should increase WIC age to eighteen. We should remove income, assets, means testing from all entitlement programs.

As others have pointed out, it is not teaching others wrong things: copying the directory is (modulo optimization) what Git does. However if you dump people straight into everything at once they will become extremely confused and won't learn anything.

Then when they can program, you can show them how to use Git and the superpowers that comes with it.
