An even more valuable forgery is the Donation of Constantine[1], which purported to transfer title to large parts of western Europe.

I’m with you on that. I live in Evanston, IL. For those unaware, it is the first city north of Chicago along Lake Michigan. Hardly a backwater.

On the one hand, I have two competing cable providers (RCN/Astound and Comcast/Xfinity). Being able to swap between services as offers change has been huge (hey, competition is a thing!) Currently I’ve got 1400/40 (measured) on Xfinity.

But fiber? Totally absent. AT&T seems to serve other areas nearby but not mine. Why? No clue. But I’d sure love having a symmetric connection.

Incidentally, there are multiple fiber cables strung on the poles in the alley behind my house. Presumably they are the infrastructure for our two cables cos.
Which piece was tone deaf? That AI is a tool? Because it is a tool. Using it to copy a work is a problem with copyright. Using it because it is capable of violating copyright is not.

Or that style is not copyrighted? Because it’s not.
Siphons work best once air has been excluded from the path. In fact, they work exactly as the opposite to why this maze isn't draining the whole source tank. In a working siphon, the head of water in the downwards direction is greater than the head of water in the upwards direction, which pulls the water forwards. In this case, because of the air columns in the down direction, there is a greater head of water in the upwards direction than the downwards direction, causing a reverse back-pressure.
It just means there will be a Google Books-style settlement where a few major tech companies write big checks to a few major publishers (whose work wasn't even verifiably used in training the models.) The AI models will exist and be ubiquitous on the Internet, you'll just have to pay a small tax to some company in order to use them in commercial work.
Well yes, there would be leaks, but the fines resulting from them would not be appropriate for the violation
Does it still involve the tedious micromanagement of armies and military campaigns?
He doesn't know. Not sure what your point is though.
> It doesn't bring additional strength to the table

Strong disagree. With Finland, NATO's control of the Baltic sea is insurmountable. Together with Turkey's control on the Black Sea, this completely cripples any Russian maritime capabilities.

> rather it's a country in need of protection

Also unlikely. The geography of the Finish border is such that an invasion via land is incredibly difficult. Dense forest and mountainous terrain create many easily defended bottlenecks, and the Finns with their outsized artillery are in a perfect position to defend those.

Even without NATO protection, the Finish gave the Russians a very bloody nose the last time they tried to invade. Since then, the Finish military has been re-structured with the single purpose to defend against another Russian invasion, whereas the Russian military is constrained by many other factors. Any Russian advance against the EU now has to come via the Ukrainian and Polish plains.
If you think this you haven't read the linked bug reports.

His second one in particular is his app relying on unspecified implementation quirks - the Safari devs are responsive due to a desire to be more compatible with Chrome's quirks, not because they've failed to conform to spec.

His first bug report is just lazy and devoid of any detail - completely relies on the Safari team to do the work of debugging his app for him.
>But if you were raised on modern sci fi, Tarkovsky's original is a hard watch

Most good things in art are hard and require some work.

If you want the easy version, you're missing a lot.

You'd be better served to be listening to Sonic Youth's 80s records instead of me-too grunge during the nineties too.
Because it's good clickbait-generating content. Much like their picture of Mickey promoting a McDonald's.
There's something more nuanced going on here. Depictions of sex and romance have essentially disappeared from American mainstream cinema as it has become dominated by franchise films. While prestige television is frequently more sophisticated and thematically 'adult', here too we've seen the 'love scene' disappear (with notable exceptions like Normal People).

It's harder now to include any element in a screenplay that will offend either the moral majority, or their mirror images on the left. Both of whom are deeply suspicious of anything approaching depictions of sex and sexuality for approximately opposite ostensible reasons.

Even shooting such scenes today is beset with issues with the rise of 'intimacy coordination' as a profession, and the perception that a director seeking to address these themes is lecherous. Sum total of this is a weird eliding of sex on screen. Where it is depicted, there's a clinical careful quality, often political (e.g.: I May Destroy You) rarely eroticism.
Everybody on here like to think they are amazing power users but can't disable a single setting, that I'm pretty sure is part of the standard setup process, to get rid of ads. I've used a number of Windows 10/11 pc's and never seen any of the issues hn complains about regularly.
> Literally every feature any assembly language programmer could ask for, and then more on top of that.

I think that one of the key problems with the 432 was that they skipped talking to the assembly language programmers!

The 432 omitted stuff that most assembly language would deem essential (eg registers where I think an assembly language expert would have immediately focused on performance impact) and I think assembly language programming of the 432 would not be fun at all.

Agree 100% that upgrading it would have been a nightmare. I suspect that they simply didn’t have the bandwidth to think about v2.
It is very hard to properly debug iOS bugs also.

"a problem repeatedly occurred" and page crashes all the time.

Only in Safari iOS 16. Worked in iOS 15. Works even in IE.

What kind of bug report can you make out of it?
> For some reason, we've come to accept the dominant position of cars and the absolute entitlement (and douchebaggery!) that comes with it. But we seem to be unwilling to accept the same from bikes or scooters.

Who's "we"? I'm pretty sure this isn't universal.
I don't flag comments very often unless they egregiously break the rules, but I've downvoted things like this before. Usually what happens is the person gets upset that they've been penalized by the system if the downvotes stick, or someone comes along and actually thinks the comment is good, and the effects of downranking it are reversed. I don't want to propose that my opinions on comments should overrule everyone else's, but I know you agree that just because people upvote vapid or clichéd content doesn't make it appropriate for Hacker News. So, I haven't really found your solution to work in practice.

What I could absolutely do is sit down and write a long reply about why I think the comment missed the mark, and how it could improve. I have done this in the past too. The problem here is that doing so is a lot of work. My thought process is that most of the people who are posting like this know that they're just posting low quality stuff, and if there's an easy reminder to stop doing that, they will. If they happen to reply with "no, I'm serious, here's why…" then there's no harm done; otherwise it signals (to other people too) that we're looking for something better than that.
> It's wild to me how ostensibly straight dudes got confronted with a little booty-shaking in their superhero story and they were all like "ewwww."

I don't really consume MCU stuff, but having seen the scene in question, I think the "ewww" has absolutely nothing to do with sexuality and everything to do with the weird, annoying, try-hard-to-be-trendy vibe that it represents. It's the same cringe as the Hillary Clinton dancing on Ellen thing from a few years back.

There was a time when comics were counter-cultural, niche, and interesting, bringing new ideas and stories and art into the world. Now, they're under the control of the Mouse, downstream of the cultural shit funnel and as a result, completely, laughably uninteresting - and worse - no longer cool.
You're stuck in the 19th century imperialist mindset, like most of your Russian/Chinese compatriots.

Come to the 21st century and ask yourself: "why war when we can have commerce"?
I credited the Apple developers with doing a good job in the blog. The problem is Apple's policies end up turning a routine bug fix in to a total nightmare.
Do I correctly understand that it does not have a mechanism by which to connect to Mullvad, much less mandate it? The only thing I see is the ability to manually detect externally-initiated VPN status. This seems like a key and significant departure from Tor Browser to me in terms of protection.
The US is taking advantage of a golden strategic opportunity, because why wouldn't they, but it's Russia scoring the own goal here. If they wanted to stop destabilizing themselves they can always leave - the war ends literally the second they turn their tanks around and drive home. Nobody is going to follow them into Russia. They don't even have to do anything diplomatically. Just leave, no special agreements required, and the war is over.

A peace that grants Russia the Sudetenland as a consolation prize along with a guarantee that Ukraine is sovereign (but with a big asterisk in that they are also not sovereign in the sense that they are able to join an alliance of their choosing to protect themselves from aggressors) is just an invitation for Russia to consolidate the new territory and prepare the next push. And not being able to see that is for me much more shallow thinking.
The iPhone is arguably the device that brought smartphones into the mainstream, but it took Apple several years to become the number one phone maker in North America. There was no Samsung Galaxy to contend with at the time, but a company that sold smartphones that looked much more like a tiny laptop.
Perhaps that's the reality hitting the Linux folks such as Phoronix when as long as 'number go up' is it 'believable' but when it goes down it is 'questionable'. It can't be both at the same time from the same source.

Choose one.
Actually it's down since yesterday with nothing more informative posted on their status page: https://status.mycloud.com/os4

I pity those who trust their own data and rely on 3rd party companies, your data are only yours if you have them locally. Yes, it's nice and convenient to have everything online, but that's the 2nd or 3rd place you should store your data.

From what I've read, the problem is that many people relied only on MyCloud, so they had a single point of failure in their workflows :-(

Store your data locally, store your backup on another device/medium (preferably at another location) and finally store a 3rd copy online (even better if you store different copies online at different cloud providers). You're guaranteed not to lose your data or access to them.

P.S. I own a WD My Cloud "NAS" and I have disabled Cloud Access :-)
There must still be an assignment somewhere.

This is a definition after all.

c = a if condition else c = b

Whether c is implicit or not doesn't matter too much.

I think the comment you respond to is still correct.
Nothing you have said implies you cannot copy the style of another artist. Which is obvious. People copy styles all the time.

You don’t want Renoir suing Monet over who owns Impressionism.

That is very different from saying you cannot recreate his specific works.

Or do crappy Pop Art faux copies.
Mullvad’s VPN software has an available function that blocks network traffic when the VPN isn’t connected, so there’s no need to patch that into the browser.
You can't prevent others from using a style though. Which is why there are so many bands that people might remember having their songs appear in car commercials, but it turns out the car company just paid for a sound-alike clone of a band and not the actual band content.
I see username to post ratio doesn't really apply here.

modern php is nice.

if you had said C++ then I would've labelled you a pragmatic masochist.
Would you like to explain the link between the absolute number of people in a country and the value of its currency vs the dollar?
> They have a grudge against me because I am a very prolific scientist and a lot of people adore me, because they know my worth. They are envious and mediocre people

This guy is extremely egotistical. And he's publishing papers with people he doesn't know. The article implies most of these papers are of low quality... I doubt he contributed in any way to many other than by adding his name. That's fairly common in academia even in normal times. But in these cases it's unlikely that he collaborated in any way with the authors and can't verify the content of the papers.
I "downsized" from a MacBook Pro 15 with high specs (i9, dedicated GPU, 64 GB RAM) to a MacBook Air M2 and don't regret the decision. I don't feel I'm missing out on anything except when I want to run a VM locally (Win 98 SE to play retro games). I think the M1/M2 chips are so good that there is no reason to want to upgrade as often and the baseline chips are good for 95% of the workloads people have.
That sounds like gaming the system. I have a very hard time imagining somebody can produce quality work every 37 hours non-stop.
Now that explains some of John Carmack's actions.
It annoys me that the only way to access iPlayer from abroad is via a VPN. Surely opening it up and allowing international customers to pay some form of license fee could be a nice little revenue stream for the BBC? I'm guessing the reason is just "licensing issues" but if they're making the programmes then what's the problem? I'm sure there's an international market for watching the world class output from the BBC.
An airship is a type of aircraft, so yes.

The definition of "maritime property" is inclusive, not exclusive. Balloons or aircraft would have to be specifically included on the list, but they're not.
The sticker shock of having to purchase the RAM/storage for the lifetime of the device isn't typical, and is above market rates for those things.
This doesn't read like a complaint about the pricing per se. It's more like pointing out Apple's low sales might have something to do with their high pricing and then providing that the pricing is unattainable for laypeople by way of stating the single figurehead of a country will still be out a month's income if they want one.
Jessica Gao (Showrunner for she hulk) literally asked herself:
"“I was more squeamish about it than they were. I was like, ‘Are we going too far? Are we throwing Marvel and fans under the bus by putting down Marvel films?”"

So she was very self-aware of what she was doing.
Safari is easily the worst browser in existence. It is absolutely riddled with bugs. Anything except the most basic functionality you can expect to be a buggy piece of crap for years on end. See webrtc.

Hopefully apple gets sued someday so we can stop using their horrible browser
I'm sure there are zero positive signs for the Russians and they are all just idiots instead of your media claiming any they find are russian disinformation and not reporting on it. Same way the Taliban was one the ropes for two decades.
> You can find interesting problems in many banal situations. You only have to look.

Unfortunately (unrelated to AI and co), this is also a problem; many engineers write overcomplicated solutions for simple / banal problems, because they get bored otherwise.
can this work with light? how would it be different. just trying to imagine a light solving a maze
Artists own the art they created, they don't own the style that they might have invented.
This is in a thread about how people cannot afford MacBooks, which count as a "US export" because they are priced in dollars that go back to the US eventually.
Is there a name for this fallacy? Where differing views within a diverse community are interpreted as individual hypocrisy?
Author literally gives a plot description. Review itself is a one paragraph. It's not a kind of review one can expect from a movie critic.

You want to train a text generator as opposed to a classifier or NER?
Yup, this is exactly what will happen - good ol regulatory capture
Humans, you know, are also "trained" as they grow up. And the new generations, growing up much more exposed to the AI-generated media from the earliest ages, may as well end up finding AI porn just as — if not more — sexy as human-produced porn. That too is a speculation, yes, but considering the whole history of humanity full of vast shifts in cultural and aesthetic norms, it's a very mild speculation.

While I hesitate to use it in this context, reminds of one of Planck's principle - "progress, on funeral at a time"
Not really. Corporate Mac sales are a drop in the bucket.
>I love their Chromebook offering.

Why? ChromeOS is just a weirdo Linux distro. Any Framework should be able to run it. Why would you need a special machine to run one particular OS?

And, if you want a Chromebook, why would you spend more than $250 on one?
but then owning the copyright doesn't matter, because it doesn't cover style (And do they even hold the copyright for derivative works?)
And the US military is having a recruitment issue. Not to mention new recruits tend not to be up to fitness standards. The two wars at once standard is questionable at best.
Yes. They are aware that this is one attack vector they need to protect their users against.
Ah gotcha, just asking because I've had near miraculous results with inpainting/outpainting using controlnet and hypermodel tweaks.
Some people from the Apple M1 team left to start Nuvia, which was acquired by Qualcomm and will hopefully be bringing comparable performance-per-watt to PC OEM Arm Windows/Linux laptops in 2024.
Companies exist only because of the law, which can certainly (in theory) mandate that they owe additional things to their employees, such as "a minimum wage" and "a safe workplace free of harassment".
Transcription is a commodity at this point - great to see libraries like this make it simple to deploy on a K8s cluster
I would love to see some public key authentication mechanism !
This whataboutism isn't a good fit for this particular issue, I think.
Learn as much as you can about different industries and challenges they are facing.

If AI can write code to specification, then the person with the advantage is the guy who knows an actual industry problem that people will pay money for. The majority of industries, upon close inspection, are technologically backward major ways, but previously it used to be really hard to bridge the gap for a person that actually knew the problems. With A.I it should be way easier.

For example, in finance/trading there is a lot of software that is old, inefficient but just passable enough that no one will try getting an MVP out. Perfect example is POEMS(Portfolio/Order/Execution Management System(s)), i.e what you trade with, if you spend any time researching this you will realise that a lot of the products in use are super disruptable but MVPs are hard to build.
The single smartest person I know (an actual genius, mensa, gifted schools, etc) works in a crappy web agency and he's chronically underpaid.

Tons of smart people I know are doing mediocre jobs.

The fact someone is tackling hard problems doesn't make them the smartest people in the room, you need a combination of risk taking and smart in life.
It makes sense from a tactical point of view. But with the M-line of architecture they had the strategic opportunity to burn the competition.
I just switched from Netnewswire to Miniflux and love it
Release schedules &c. aside, they have no argument if they're complaining about the Safari team's "communication". The diligence from the Safari team in responding to those bug reports is not something I've seen from other browsers vendors.
Russia is 28 times larger than Ukraine. They certainly want to benefit from the resources in Ukraine that they're trying to annex (although I'll admit it certainly doesn't look like they are ever going to achieve their goals and benefit from actually conquering the country as they planned, if that's what you meant.)
The Mann Shorts YouTube channel takes this to an absurd extreme by using the "D&D engine" to power any random scenario they want.
If the domain expert is there to audit the results, where is the issue?
Given my experience with debloating w10 you're probably setting yourself up for misery when a mandatory update inevitably conflicts with whatever workarounds you've been using
Ask HN: How to Ask Good Questions?
Somewhat inspired by this post [here](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35405555).

A few genres of questions I'd be curious to hear about:

1) How do you ask coworkers good questions without annoying them?

2) How do you ask questions online (to optimize getting any answer let alone a good one)?

3) How do you ask questions to LLMs?

4) What questions do you ask yourself?
So, I had a somewhat similar reaction and have made the same argument you are making in your last couple of sentences. It's frustrating to me when I see some of the dismissive sorts of comments as the article makes, because as you say it's often made by individuals who have it, and don't appreciate what happens when it's not there. I've even gone so far as to say it's insulting to the less well-off to dismiss it as a concern, because it does nothing to change things for the better.

Along these lines, in many systems or subcommunities, many of these status markers reflect something inherently broken about the system, often at a very deep or fundamental level. So do you just ignore this and climb up them? Sometimes, for whatever reason, you can change things, but other times it becomes impossible to do so, and you're left with the choice of playing the game and winning, or just exiting altogether and trying a different game somewhere else.

Sometimes that exiting comes across as sour grapes revisionism, but sometimes it's very real. It can be frustrating to know that your odds of achieving success are dependent on doing something immoral, corrupt, or, at best meaningless, or to know that it involves a huge amount of pure luck or systemic pathology that is never acknowledged. Sometimes you can just go with the flow, but if doing so starts to have notable costs in itself, it poses significant problems.
Too many people are just replaying inflation discourse from the 1930s and 1970s over and over again in their head, talking up the imminent collapse of the dollar, without actually taking a look around.

The same way a principled vegan also eats meat, to be sure.
Depends on which GPL you’re using.
Flight autopilot is easy if you only have to fly from one point to another. The hard part is dealing with emergencies. We are far from being able to build an autopilot that could react as well as the human crew did during US Airways flight 1549.
I can see the mutual partnerships are on the rise. There is a brand new polish-korean cooperation for producing various weapons. India may produce its own equipment by finding a reliable partner that would help with know-how.
