I understood its something to do with auth but even the comparison pages didn't clarify in meaningful ways how it's different. I don't see how this could help me get more users - that's my job not yours.

I was also confused what a network has to do with auth. Is this some kind of distributed auth product? Who knows.

Also, I don't think anyone looking at a saas auth product would consider rolling their own. Presumably they're on your site because they aren't interested in that.

So I just didn't know what your value proposition is.

Ahhhh a distant cousin to the "Scunthorpe problem" - English and Dutch are not so dissimilar after all!

Related problem I saw recently, guy called Nasser had the "ass" in his name in some game's chat replaced with the string "***" taking a very common name and making it look like he named himself perhaps the worst word in the English language. Very unfortunate.

> how dangerous an empire is to the rest of the world

Exactly! We should never have built an empire in the first place. Are you saying that empire-building was unavoidable and that no other path could have been taken?

It seems that you agree that there's no easy way to back away from empire now extant. I'm not aware of any way to change small minds; they lack the capacity for change. You can substitute race for something else but people who can only keep a small number of things in their head will always focus on the simple ones. Identity politics bears this out.

> Do we believe, in hindsight, it was wise for them to do so given where we are now?

Aye, I do. It was the individualistic spirit of that action that would have kept those very nazis in the margins. That spirit being so diminished is what has given fuel to the fires of extremism. If you leave people alone (and they have enough to eat), they tend not to gather in large groups and cause trouble. It's when they feel pressured, even if it's only in their heads, that bad things start to happen. This is exactly why I'm suggesting we don't pressure people to accept ideas they're not willing to accept freely. It's safer.

Forcing (via education policy) ideologically opposed communities to "accept" trans people exacerbates anti-trans sentiment. It's actually counterproductive to the goal of trans people's wellbeing. Further fuel is added to the fire when policies have absurdist outcomes like Lia Thomas or Isla Bryson, and no reasonable debate is accommodated by their advocates. None of this is good for the average trans person just trying to live their life.

Educating young children should be done in as worldview-neutral a position as possible. It should be about the things the Iowan, soccer player, jazz musician, Irish immigrant, and trans person, can all agree on, using simple dictionary words and definitions.
I am very happy to see them use a true FLOSS licence. However, it's a surprise to me, given Stable Diffusion is proprietary, using one of those "ethical" licences.
Which regions? Are we sure there is causality? I meant job market, i.e. which jobs are in demand (e.g. social media manager) and which aren’t (e.g. analog camera operator). Is society worse after that changes?

I’m not going to comment on your other opinions as I don’t have relevant experience. But de-dollarization was a common refrain in my field (finance) going back to before I was involved in it (2001).

I’ve seen everything from Nixon in China to the current Russian sanctions being used as reasons for it. I suspect the real reason it will happen is that people can make more money trading in yuan (or rupee) than in usd. Sadly, Russia and Ukraine just aren’t important enough to make a dent.

My personal opinion is that the dollar is the reserve currency (and thus the petro currency) is due to much less conspiratorial reasons. It spends all over the world. It isn’t debased frequently and it isn’t volatile.

China could introduce a currency that had all those properties tomorrow. That they haven’t is an indictment of using the yuan as a reserve currency. It would take a significant change to Chinese economics to make that true.

But! If China did that it wouldn’t save Russia. Modern currencies hate autocracy and despotism because it runs counter to their premise. It doesn’t help Russia for China to liberalize, the only thing that helps them is their own liberalization.

I guarantee you that people who support the rights of trans people to be trans people are not doing so contingent on there being some kind of purely biological basis. Most people probably don't even know there is a proposed biological mechanism.

In any case, for those I know who have considered it, most reject the notion that one's acceptance be based on simply having no choice in the matter of their gender identity, sexuality, or other identifiers like skin color or disability, because it suggests that their value is arrived at only reluctantly and it is on them to prove they should be treated like anyone else.

Contrary to your quixotic theory, most nominally liberal or queer-accepting people I've met root their ethics in something like humanism (including for example Christian humanism). A person is
valuable because they are, because they exist. Self-expression is an outgrowth of such a belief. It is part of flourishing and living into the world. It is rarely if ever a worldview of itself.

Similarly, drag is not just art for the sake of art or transgression for the sake of transgression. It has not always been considered transgressive. It has a long tradition in gay spaces as an activity that brings people together and in many ways is used to show that queer people are not alone. It is a way of exploring the boundaries of what it means to be human.

All of it is of a piece because people are not collections of independent atomic functions, they are bodies and minds and live in spaces.

Exactly. If the content owners were more responsible, or if IP laws were better, it wouldn't be necessary.
The thing about the cut is that it makes debugging extremely difficult because it (nearly always) completely nullifies the usual semantics of how you expect predicates to work. Stuff will seem to work and then break in mysterious ways. Also I've personally never found a valid use for them, there always seems to be a better, more logical alternative for any potential use case I've found.

It's kind of unfortunate IMO that most oldskool Prolog code out there is peppered with cuts and (->)/2 since it propagates a ton of bad habits.

Regarding the RLE problem, I posted a logical solution without cuts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35632344
From what I've seen the .ui format for Gtk3 and Gtk4 are different and Glade does not support Gtk4 Widgets or its additional libraries like libadwaita.

Cambalache is a successor for Glade but it also has issues. It uses its own storage format and you have to export to a .ui file for use in your Gtk4 project, and if you make changes to the UI file it's very difficult or even impossible to use those changes in Cambalache again.

The general consensus on a few of the GNOME-related Matrix channels seems to be writing .ui files by hand.
Yeah I think there's a huge difference between what I buy with a credit card and what I look at on the internet.
To give a more concrete answer: you dig under a small section of footing. Small enough that the footing itself bridges the load across the gap. Then you install your first support element between the remaining undisturbed soil and the footing. Now that section is supported just as it was before, but by a jack, strut, wheel truck, or whatever instead of soil. Rinse and repeat until all the soil is gone.

For larger internal spans you usually install bracing elements like trusses or I-beams. This is done in a similar way: you hollow out a narrow strip, install the truss/beam, then that gives you enough leeway to continue digging on either side of it until you reach the location for the next truss/beam. Shims are used to ensure solid contact all along the length. The trusses/beams are anchored to the support elements.

At any one time only a very small part of the building's foundation is "floating" and unsupported.

Actually moving the building varies based on its size, weight, and other factors. You'd usually jack up the whole building to make room for the trucking elements which might be independently steerable wheels, one or more semi-trailers, or whatever. Then you lower the building onto the trucking element and it becomes a really big vehicle or trailer that you slowly and carefully move.

At the destination you usually pour new footings and/or piers in the same pattern as the original support elements so your truck bits can just drive right into place. Then you again just jacks to lift the building off the truck elements, move them out, then lower the building onto the new footings.

This is very simplified. A lot of engineering goes into making sure the building moves as a single piece without too much flexing (vertically or horizontally) and that the "road" it moves on can support the weight.
I think that was more true when less stuff was being produced, and the cost of keeping a copy was non-zero.

Those things stopped being true ~ 100 years ago, so now we end up with strange filters. For example, a large number of high-value film masters were lost in a single warehouse fire. (Arguably, shorter copyright terms would have prevented that, since distributors and fans would have had geographically distributed backups that the film studio had little financial incentive to maintain).
I also always go to Preferences > Interface > Icon Theme and change it back to Legacy, and the Theme to System (a light one for me). I really don't like the default dark theme and the lack of color in the icons. I suppose people who use it all the time just learn keyboard shortcuts. My casual usage for nearly 20 years though insists on being able to have the unvocalized thought process: "I need the eraser, so I'll click on the big pink eraser icon".
As they say, wishing others dead is a great way to become dead yourself.

It's insane that we live in a world with enough technological progress that we can easily feed, cloth, and shelter everyone, yet a huge portion of us are so greedy that we don't want to see that happen because it might mean one penny less for ourselves.

Farouk certainly played a role, but I long to see an exposé on the backchannels between elites during this period. It seems the great powers of the Global North wouldn't dare attempt to destabilize and usurp one of their own sovereigns.

People are too quick to blame "state-owned monopolies" when the development and success of any producer is dependent on the gatekeepers of the global oil marketplace.
Last line, absolutely correct. Spew super-superficially-plausible nonsense to technical questions. Tell it it's wrong and it will either (or both) spew only superficially plausible nonsense and apologize that it was wrong.

Right now it's a great party trick and no more, IMO. And if one gets into more "sociological" questions it spews 1/3 factoids scraped from the web, 1/3 what could only be called moralizing, and 1/3 vomit-inducing PC/woke boilerplate. My only lack of understanding of its training is how the latter 2/3 were programmed in. I want only the first 1/3 supposedly-factual without the latter 2/3 insipid preaching. If a human responded like that they'd have no friends, groupies, adherents, or respect from anyone, including children.
> You’re expected to haul in some third party widget that’s half-baked and lacks battle testing or roll your own, which is ridiculous and a massive productivity + UX killer.

Reminds of early-mid-00s and Delphi components. The standard components were fine, but lacked many important features (including Unicode!), so you'd hunt/shop around for third-party components.
> To me, it seems every other day QT and GTK makes a point of ignoring backwards compatibility with their releases, making Application Development hard.

can't talk about GTK but Qt broke C++ API compatibility once between 2012 and 2023 for Qt 5 -> Qt 6 (and really porting from 4 to 5 and 5 to 6 is not particularly complicated), I wouldn't say that it's fair to call this "makes a point of ignoring backwards compatibility with their releases"

"since you'd _expect_ otherwise, given they spend so much time in water."

I think here it doesn't understand or conclude that hippos can swim because they are often in water, I think people wrote on the internet a lot that they can swim and it found some association between the terms hippo, water and swimming. Am I right?
It sounds like --add-opens, etc will still exist. Can you use that? It would, as discussed, be an admission of legacy-ness.

The author wrote a whole book on Janet, with 11 of the 13 chapters focusing on something else than macros: https://janet.guide/. I've been reading it in the last few days and it's very nice, there are lots of things to play around with outside of macros.

"As previously noted, Windows 95 dropped support for 1.x and 2.x binaries. The same however was not true for Windows NT, which modern versions of Windows are based upon."

No way. I'll need major citations on that. Wikipedia for one, firmly disagrees as does every book I've read on that history.

edit: I quoted it and still misread it. I thought it said windows nt was based on windows 1&2.

Yeah, but we still don't learn from mistakes with well-known history behind them.

For example, I still hear from smart, educated people that we can stop illegal drug use by applying severe punishment to the drug suppliers.
I'm concerned about all those things. The reasons I'm more concerned about AGI?

* Global warming is going to be painful, but seems like we're on a track that doesn't involve earth becoming completely uninhabitable. I'm still concerned about it.

* Companies have a much stronger incentive to make AGI than deadly weapons. It will be incredibly profitable.

* We have zero historical examples of a species developing a technology that is smarter than it is to look back at and establish some sort of probability for how this will go.

* All the issues with capitalism, where we have this system that isn't completely aligned with the well-being of humans, though it has kinda worked in the past -- now imagine that it's turned up to 1000 times the power. If you're worried about capitalism eating itself to the bone, that's the same thing to be worried about with AI.

To say that "producing words got a bit cheaper" really trivializes what a massive impact AGI will have, and how soon it's coming. I personally think that the probability of humanity being ruined or destroyed is probably either close to 0%, or close to 100%, and we don't know which, or if it's bad, how long we have. Even though 100% end seems more likely to me, I still think it's worth trying really hard to get to a good future.

If we had knowledge of this happening to several hundred different alien species, and could see the distribution of outcomes, it would be a lot easier to plan for this. In the absence of such evidence, I think it's a mistake to try to over-generalize from challenges humanity has successfully faced in the past, to "creating a new form of superior intelligence".

That brings me to another thing I'd like to add. Over the years I've paid for quite a few apps on the app store that PREDATED most of the "monetization" of the app store. And the social shit and the login and account and ... shit that games have now.

Essentially all of these have disappeared from "my apps" and I can't install them anymore. I want them back.

And now this emulator comes out with the super monkey ball that my dad bought for me on my initial ipod (not ipad, pod). I want that game back on my current ios devices, and that one, with essentially no interruptions to the gameplay, not the current shittified version.
I agree - I think for security and privacy we need it to be on-device (either that or there needs to be end to end encryption with gaurantees that data won't be captured for training). There are tons of useful applications that require sensitive personal information (or confidential business information) to be passed in prompts - that becomes a non issue if you can run it on device.

I think there will be a lot of incentive to figure out how to make these models more efficient. Up until now, there's been no incentive for the OpenAI's and the Googles of the world to make the models efficient enough to run on consumer hardware. But once we have open models and weights there will be tons of people trying to get them running on consumer hardware.

I imagine something like an AI specific processor card that just runs LLMs and costs < $3000 could be a new hardware category in the next few years (personally I would pay for that). Or, if apple were to start offering a GPT3.5+ level LLM built in that runs well on M2 or M3 macs that would be strong competition and a pretty big blow against the other tech companies.
Can someone please explain to me why “411” means “information”?
A lot of it is also about accessibility to someone with limited network access.

When you are developing with an always-on connection and a high-performing device, it's easy to ignore all the scenarios where someone doesn't have either one.
So, what you're saying is there are now two benefits, and only one "impossible to say over the phone" drawback but also hella easier to search for, so I guess three benefits
I would argue that some typographic changes (eg right amount of white space, line height etc) might lessen the distraction that you get with visual clotting. It appears here, though, that not everyone perceived it that way..
The foremost reason for use of typography in this case should be readability and accessibility and not pretty (which by itself is not a bad thing either)
Because regular honest word of mouth are not what people refer to as marketing, and have been a thing since before marketing was a career.

A marketeer might want to stir up "word of mouth" or build a product's reputation artificially. But I refer to good ole organic word of mouth and reputation built without marketing.

You know, just by buyers recommending it to other buyers, and the product getting recommended because they use it and see it's good. The way those things are normally understood, just like how "love" normally is understood as two persons taking a liking to one another, and not e.g. as in some guy stopping his car in a shady end of the city and paying $50 dollars in exchange for sex.
Sometimes being able to buy a house and raise a family is a good enough life.

Ask HN: How to deal with Product Support when they won't fix a bug?
The old saying is, you catch more flies with honey. I'm trying to get a bug fixed in a product I love to use and can't get traction with their support.

I have a Garmin smartwatch Venu and an Edge for cycling. I'm trying to cut some weight and be more healthy.

I noticed that the calories being exported to Apple Health were awfully high for a particular workout. It turns out, when Garmin exports to Apple Health, it's including both Active and Resting calories.

This creates a problem when you're using a calorie counter because you get extra calories added to your daily total.

I contacted their support and they asked me to send screenshots. I did, and included a link to the Apple Health Documentation that states one should not include resting calories when submitting data to Apple Health.

Their support replied this is by design, despite the Apple Documentation clearly stating otherwise.

I asked them to verify their position, but I don't expect a response indicating they'll fix it. I can only imagine if I open a bug with Apple they'll say Garmin needs to use the API correctly.

I'm not sure where to go next. Small bugs like this make products much more difficult, and I know this would not be a difficult fix.

Frustrated. But being "in the software industry" sometimes you're asked to do support on the side while having projects with strict due dates. I'm trying to put myself in the other person's shoes and be patient and understanding, but also convey the importance of this as well in hopes it gets fixed.
i think you're missing that most software dev is basic programming tasks. most people arent writing anything that novel or complex, they're churning out different versions of the same stuff with the same frameworks. the biggest hindrance to chatgpt doing that all right now is the size of the context it can handle.
