for what it's worth, this is the guy who took the open source efforts of the homebrew community, who try their absolute hardest to avoid association with piracy (and by extension nintendo's hammer), and sold modchips to enable the use of an os based on aforementioned open source efforts, for the unambiguous purpose of piracy, and to top it off those modchips were designed with an intentional tamper trigger that bricks users' consoles

we should bring back the militant anti-copyright culture that made “RIAA” and “MPAA” bad words, but this guy really doesn't deserve your tears
As humans? Well, that’s an arbitrary bar. Are you a speciesist?
What's the problem with "trending on artstation"? Does it not do anything to the output?
It just recently stopped working for Zeit.de articles. Seems like their paywall is now higher than 12 feet...
They can do it the same way they prove everything else - ineffectively
Why the fuck would I ever put in more effort than absolutely necessary when I will not be rewarded proportionately for the increased effort? It probably won't even be noticed. and even if I were, where does that get me? Still sucking eggs in a housing market that is now more than ever before for business rather than for fulfilling a human need, still suffering through the bureaucratic uncaring nightmare that is the systems we have created.

Life isn't fair, it never will be fair and it never was fair. But the degree of unfairness has changed, for the worse, and it means for most of us, there is no point in trying.
Presumably if a company doesn't build software in-house and "buys a product", then that's not R&D? Then, the companies making said "products" would be based in countries that don't have such draconian laws...
i had one and overclocked it to be able to decode mp3s with my a4000. it was a game changer.
>prevent subscriber churn

Netflix' key metrics are basically around retaining subscribers and attracting new ones. Except to the degree it supports those goals (and there's obviously a correlation), they don't actually care how much you watch, how much you like the content, how easily you find content you like, etc. Correlated, yes. But not one and the same.
> What if the weather is bad?

You're a spy. Suck it up, and take a lesson from the USPS.

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."
I was thinking of it more as an anthropological challenge - to investigate their changing understanding of the firmament.
I hope to fucking god this kills Reddit, because Reddit itself provides no value.

- It's a glorified PhpBB, there's nothing brand new about Reddit.

- The comments they're making you pay for are mine, are yours, put out for free on a publicly visible website. Reddit sits down and wants to collect money from being a database?

- Reddit wants to have its cake and eat it too. their content is valuable because people are out there being mods, for free.

- Warning people in advance isn't acting in good faith. It's telling them there going to get fucked anyways, but hey, now you can plan for it!

- Their app is utter dogshit. The mobile options will now be their dogshit app, for free, or quality third party apps that will soon start charging monthly to pay for the costs. This is a way to kill third party apps, make no mistake.
>> They are trying to say whatever happened is her fault and not the consequence of a social media influencer framing<<

That’s their tried and tested modus-operandi. You check any major terror incidents in India or abroad, Islamists use the same playbook.

If they are mocking someone’s religion it is their “freedom of speech” , if it is the opposite, Charlie Hebdo or Nupur Sharma will be done to you.
This would probably throw my girlfriend off.

She has some kind of right/left dyslexia. When she's driving and I'm giving directions I have to tell her "short turn" or "long turn". Long turn being left, longer because it's across a lane, right turns are shorter.

But if someone told her that left is shorter than right for remembering purposes, it would probably mess her up more when following driving directions.
Is there a ceiling to how much the US legal system can award in cases involving individuals? At what point does it become manifestly unjust - or are they not even required to consider that?
I once wrote something in Turbo Prolong which had both chaining inference and menus. Chaining inference fit well in the language. Drop-down menus were really painful in pure Prolog.

Prolog has a use case, but it's just not that big.
For me it's simply the fact that the blocks get destroyed every second. It really enhances the 'time is fleeting' feeling. Every second is unique and you're never ever getting it back.
Yeah, 10 is a stupidly low limit, it won't save you from some hackers, and it won't help you much when you forget
It did not kill twitter then, it will not kill Reddit now
> The message is clear – NPR expects its readers to be passive consumers of climate change solutions.

I get the opposite impression from its headlines, at least when applying Betteridge's law: NPR presupposes that the technological solutions will be insufficiently effective, and that there's nothing to passively consume. All we can do is cope and hope that the socioeconomic and political systems that created this problem in the first place will somehow fix it.

> SpaceX promises perhaps the dumbest solution to climate change possible: colonizing space. Elon Musk has convinced legions of people that it will be easier (or maybe better? more desirable?) to colonize Mars to save humanity than to avoid destroying the only planet where food literally grows on trees and water falls from the sky.

1. Elon Musk is not the (only) one doing that convincing; the idea that we could and should be expanding humanity's reach into the Solar System and beyond instead of confining it to a single planet that's already straining to support us predates Elon Musk's very existence.

2. It ain't just Mars. Mars is attractive because it's close and it has some far-future hope for terraforming, but as far as sustaining human life goes it ain't that great; there's a whole asteroid belt full of worlds chock-full of both water ice and hydrocarbons (meaning they've got the raw resources for food and water without needing to rely on Earth), and beyond that are the gas giants with dozens (hundreds, maybe) of moons with similar abundances of water and hydrocarbons.

3. Keeping the entirety of humanity confined to Earth is fundamentally unsustainable without either some very dramatic decreases in quality of life or mass exterminations that make the Holocaust look like child's play; even if we can freeze the population at its current number, the cat named "industrialization" is already out of Pandora's box, and the developing world is, well, developing. Space colonization is a vital pressure relief valve; the optimal end-game is to get the entirety of human industry and the vast majority of humans off Earth, so that Earth's biosphere can heal from the damage we've done to it over the last few centuries. The fact that Earth is the only planet where food literally grows on trees and water falls from the sky is exactly why preserving it is of utmost importance; anything that can be done beyond Earth must be done beyond Earth if we expect there to be any trees or water left on it in the coming centuries.
Because even if don't get more money you get to do more fun work with more autonomy if you are good at what you do.
Best source is referrals. Join hackathons, talks, etc. Meet people. Let them know when you're job hunting.

HN is a really good source too if you're willing to put yourself out in the open. I got some top tier responses there, well paid, reasonable interviews.
> they don't seem to have ever had the pleasure of dealing with an actual Reddit employee.

99.999% of redditors will never ever have to deal with a Reddit employee. Cronyism? What the hell has that got to do with my consumption of and participation on Reddit?
In theatrical context, they also use "house left" and "house right" for similar effect but with a different perspective

No user is paid to post content and no mod is paid to moderate content
Copyright law is so archaic.

Going to jail for “pirating games” is just absurd to me. Nintendo and backers of copyright law clearly using this guy as an example to not fuck with our wares or else we will send our multimillion dollar legal team at you.

Copyright and patent law is holding the west back. Can’t create a product without stepping on some patent trolls alleged “IP”
I recently read “Simply Logical” —- it makes very clear that you have to take Prolog’s execution model into account from Chapter 3 onwards.

You really don’t have to go far in Prolog before you have to write a meta interpreter and think about search strategies.

I think this is in plain sight from the beginning.
"Developers don’t come cheap, and until tax year 2022, these companies could fully expense those costs as R&D rather than having to amortize them over multiple years."

Maybe stupidly high salaries shouldn't be considered R+D expenses.
Java is in the same category as C# from the previous post. Mature off the shelf libraries, with a great ecosystem and great integration.
good observation; i think what was supposed to be fintech was still using big-bank rails at the end of the day since the financial system is very centrally controlled.

Perhaps, in my possibly contrarian view it will be Bitcoin startups that are going to revamp some layers of the financial system.
It would be nice if the article had a couple of photos of the manuscript or even better a link to the recovered text.

See this is a great example of the problem.

1) Did NSA modify Cisco routers? Yes

2) Did NSA get a backdoor in Dual EC_DRBG? Yes

3) Did NSA get a backdoor in the CNSA algorithms? There is no evidence to suggest they have and plenty the other way.

The original claim was (3) but the "NSA does stuff" thing overrides any attempt at discussion of that specific piece of misinformation.
That infinite game of life... just wow!
Doing your job properly can lead to unexpected rewards. I found great contacts that helped me job hop after I performed some tasks with excellence. Mediocrity or active sabotage as you suggest also do not motivate me at all.

Ultimately society is the result of our collective effort. If I'm employed and assigned to a task, I do my best to finish it well, within reason - no overtime, not working on weekends, etc. I think this attitude leads to much better outcomes personally and socially than the one you describe.
Correlation vs causation. Those Islamic countries are still facing occupation especially from post WWI mandates like Sykes Picot and Balfour, and we see first hand the interest of "democratic" countries to keep things that way to ensure their superiority by force. They are not letting things take their natural course.
Telnet is installed by default in most distros.
Fun and easy mnemonic:

Port = LEFT (4 letters in each word, same vowel/consonant placement)

Port = Red as in Port Wine

Therefore, navigation lights: Red = Port = Left

If you remember that, then starboard is just "not port"
So now I have to read the article and summary to see if it’s a reasonable summery. Thanks.

But seriously, these low effort ChatGPT posts add very little.
The question I had as I read this was, "Why can't he discharge this judgement in bankruptcy?" The article doesn't even touch on the topic.
NSFW has been a thorn in their side ever since going public, yes. Mostly because investors are morons.
Appalling that he went to prison for this.

Similar experience. Not limited to emacs, I used to spend a lot of time to configure my desktop. Nowadays I go with stock XFCE on machines I use occasionally or shared with others and i3 on my main machine. No configurations. In emacs profile I have very few settings to get the indentation required by company style and avoid trailing whitespace / missing newline at the end. That's all.

But I think,
they are thinking that software devs should be consultants
( unless they are researches doing something very risky, something that may not work (from technical not business sense))

This way, they are an expense to the corporation, and each one of the consultants pay their own income tax.

In that way the corporation building software for sale/SaaS is treated the same way that a corporation that's buying and then renting out real-estate, for example.
Holy crap my wife is the same, I have to tell her "turn my way" or "turn your way".

It drives me insane as I always subconsciously interpret it as a form of lazyness, your framing of it as a form od dyslexia may finally allow me to be less bothered by it!
True that. In fact, all concepts are made-up concepts, so we should all refrain from using any concepts at all.
It's also pretty cool that a ton of sailing vocabulary has made its way into common English vernacular. I guess with the UK being the most powerful country in the world at one time (and projecting their power via their Navy) it's not too surprising.
This is also how it works in US, you just go to imaging place and they do it immediately. You just have to pay for it. In countries with state controlled healthcare, service is rationed.
The pattern matching capability in the ML family is arguably an embedded Prolog system.
Is it worth visiting?
There's Redbox for newer stuff, libraries, purchasing new or used, and piracy. Which maybe sounds like a lot but adds up to there's no service where you can just subscribe monthly and rent pretty much anything in print with a search and a mouse click as used to be the case with Netflix. So you're not exactly SOL but there's a lot more friction now and I expect a lot more people will just shrug and watch whatever is available for subscription streaming (as a lot of people won't even buy a la carte streaming).
> Some definitions would include them as part of Oceania.

Some? All, AFAICS. (Or at the very least, most.)
My wife has the same issue. I say turn "your side" or turn "my side."
The generated 'driving scene' videos eerily resemble a lot of crash dashcam video's. I even have the idea that the bottom right video is composited of video's right before a crash. The white SUV seems to make a hard steer right, but then just continues straight on. It even looks as if some wreckage is visible flying over the road.
Is that still a relevant test, if the blog post is used in the training data? How can I know it is or isn't included anyways?
Yep 1234 for my real profile, 4321 for my cat pictures profile.
At a ski hill, it's skiers left/right so you know it's from the reference of someone going down the hill. Drivers side, passenger side...

How do you ensure two backends don't pick up up the same request?
Something even less benign than that, such as "men cannot get pregnant" is enough to be labeled a transphobe. If you went back as little as 15 years ago and told people "men can get pregnant" they'd rightfully laugh at you.
The rules are very clear: if you collect personal data¹ for other purposes than legitimate interest you need to give people an easy choice to deny that collection and the service should not be worse because of it.

I mean the EU published a guideline on what it calls deceptive design patterns. They are quite clear there with what is unacceptable (link to PDF): https://edpb.europa.eu/system/files/2023-02/edpb_03-2022_gui...

When even Google felt they had to make "reject all" equally big and not hise it in a sub menu, you know that everything else is likely not legal.

What are some examples? I am English but I know nothing about the maritime world, so I likely know the words as slang/vernacular terms but not what they mean on a ship.
Now we're just taking in circles. What exactly can a malicious USB device do to a phone? On Windows it can press Win+R, but there's no equivalent on mobile.

Which keystrokes are you talking about and on which OS does that attack work? I can't think of anything that would work on my iPhone.
I also came from a poor country that could use a big dose of Protestant work ethic. If you have $0, getting an extra million is the biggest of deals for your happiness.

But once you are rich and you’ve got snowballing wealth, maybe a change of perspective is in order. You won’t find as much meaning in going from $5m to $10m as in 0-$1m for example.

Not that laziness is the answer, but you need a new motivating principle.
The article is a quite interesting read, but it paints everything strongly with intellectual doomerism colors.

> But today it is hard not to feel that if we have been, in fact, changing the world, we have been changing it for the worse.

Really? By what metric? Similar statements are made about the tech sector, which the author equates to social media and Tesla apparently, ignoring the immense value the Internet alone has provided worldwide in the last decades.

Show HN: A web decision game 99% coded by GPT4. Uses agent to decide win/loss
Yeah... so I know some software development concepts well I haven't written any code in 10 years, so like half the time was just getting a development setup. At first it suggested PyCharm and honestly it wasted a lot of time. Eventually I got VS Code and GPT just seems to understand it so much better.

The real secret to getting good responses with GPT-4 during this I found is to restart the conversation fresh with a complete description of what you need (2-3 paragraphs of detail is great) and the rest as code.

[detailed description of what you need, make sure it's detailed and specific add examples if possible]
####
[insert all the code, the more you can fit the better]

That first code block it gives you back on the first output is the cleanest by far. If there is an error and you submit it back in the same chat conversation, it just gets diluted/saturated over time, hallucinations go up etc.

So if there is a bug rather than continue in the same convo, repeat this process in a brand new conversation. Each time it gives a much cleaner, fresher look at the code and goals needed. If your codeblock is really small then this isn't so important, but I'm trying to maximize the amount of code per prompt for best responses.

I also make sure to split files by concerns so they don't get too big for the prompt window otherwise it's annoying.

####

And lastly the other interesting thing about this project is this simulates an Agent loop where it is constantly trying to determine if the player won or lost, decide what the next most cohesive step is based on the human feedback (click emoji) and looping it. Actually that was my main interest for the project and I just wanted to get something published as a secondary goal. Most of my time was probably spent playing with the prompt and trying to to see if I could get it to determine if the goal was achieved but its actually a hard problem and I have some cool ideas for the next project.
Yup. That's how language works: Words mean what they mean because we've decided that they do.
Is quiet quitting a US thing, or is this happening elsewhere?

US is unique in this sense because when we lose our job, we lose our health insurance, risking financial ruin. This forces us to go above and beyond so to not end up in that bottom 10% that gets regularly laid off. We overcompensate not to have a great life, but to not be completely broke.

This makes us easy marks for work abuse, this is why we respond to emails and Slack messages at 9PM, this is why we are afraid to leave at 5PM to be with our loved ones, even though we are totally spent to do any effective work (or do shit work at that point).

What we call quiet quitting may be just snapping back to what work should be, after the COVID lockdowns made people realize they were wage slaves.

Impractical. Highly likely the ship has motion detectors and some bad dudes aboard who can pick them off easily. Best to hail the vessel and tell them the game is up. I honestly can't think of any application for this other than high high dollar recreation. Maybe extraction or medical aid.
I think embedding Prolog is a common use case for it, but I think “constraint solver” is the wrong metaphor.

Use Prolog to “reason about X”, is closer to the gist.

I've been looking at the source code, and I can't understand why they are converting Number to String before storing it in the map.

The US has guilty pleas, plea bargaining and entrapment. Next to that the right to avoid self-incrimination, which also exists in a lot of Western country, feels like a footnote.
Primo Levi had a strong argument along those lines. We must not deny their humanity or call them or their actions inhuman. First, that would be doing them what they did to a lot of people (Jews, but not only). Then, it is in a way providing them excuses by holding three to a different standard. Finally, it would make it seem like regular, normal people are incapable of doing the same thing. Historical evidence shows that yes, normal people can do this.

> When we remove the humanity from the monsters, we fail to remember that we could be monsters, too.

I could not agree more.
No model, no code.

Umbrella guy was clearly intending to incite violence and is believed, as far as I’ve read, to have been a “saboteur“.

Of course it’s not everyone. Mobs are idiots. But it’s not no one and the approach works, so it shouldn’t be ignored.
I believe it may have been sarcasm, I'm unsure.
