Things change naturally. There is no “burden of proof” unless you are making an argument to not allow things to naturally happen, whether that is to purposely change something or purposely keep it the same.
Hacker News is supposed to be about startup stuff, which includes sales. So why should this not be here?

You need to get the people on LN first, which requires an on-chain transaction. If we assume 10 tx/s (which is very generous) you need over 11 days just to onboard 10,000,000 people. Then if somebody did some funky business with the channel and it needs to get closed to save your funds (have fun monitoring all your channels by yourself or paying somebody else to do it), you need to wait for another on-chain transaction to get access to your funds again.

All of this assuming that the routing problem has been solved and the big hubs (I'd call them banks) are able to serve the transactions from their initial funding and don't have to wait to open channels with more funds.

LN is something that works well in a lab but collapses when used by more people than just a few nerds.
In my 40+ years of computing dating back to an Apple II, I've used storage as varied as 140K floppy disks, to EMC RAID arrays attached via SANs to Sun Enterprise 4500s, to NetApp NFS clusters, to a TrueNAS box in my basement with terabytes of space.

I've been a sysadmin managing SunOS and Linux systems at scale.

I've had personal machines running a variety of OSs: FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, Mac OS, OS X, to say nothing off all the different filesystems involved across those OSes.

In all that time, I can't think of a single time I've ever bothered to de-duplicate files.

Once upon a time, you used to occasionally need to defragment some file systems. But it's been more than two decades since I've even thought about defragmenting. Every modern filesystem just handles that automatically.

What even is the use case where folks end up with enough duplicate files that it's worth worrying about?
Early mornings on weekends this sort of spam seems to rise to the top. I think fewer people being on leads to fewer upvoted being needed.
> Where I consult it is much harder to fire an "at will" administrator than it is to fire an adjunct.

Of course, this makes perfect sense, due to the role adjuncts fill in the campus community. They are and always have been temporary labor that are used to fill small or short-term roles. For example, they may serve as a project manager on a capstone, a lecturer for a section, or a leader for a recitation. They are not full time faculty and are not expected to fill the role of a full time faculty member. At best they will work for maybe 14 weeks, maybe 6-8 hours a week for one course.

Why shouldn't an adjunct be harder to fire than an administrator, who has a full-time, 40 hour per week, year-round role at the university?

The problem you are alluding to is when a university builds a faculty out of adjuncts, which is just bad practice, and indicative of a bad university.
Agreed (FSVO "quite a lot"). But the same argument applies to blue eyes.
Uhh, the SEC said that bitcoin is not a security, but a currency. Like Euro or Yen. [1]

They also said that some cryptos on coinbase are securities, but when coinbase asked which ones, the SEC said „lol we won’t tell you but we will probably sue you soon for that“. [2]

Sonar is a brilliant beacon identifying the subs location; other than in combat where they are already detected or desperately need a hard fix on a target now, or someplace they don’t need to be stealthy, subs aren’t using it.

AFAIK, the first sub-deployed gravity gradiometers were developed for the Ohio-class ballistic missile subs and Los Angeles-class attack subs like San Francisco don’t, AFAIK, have them.
Remember how it is pronounced and you can remember the spelling: Czkawka == Ch-kah-v-kah. Cz is 'ch' like Czech, and w is v. It sounds like a sneeze when you say it.
I don't see that either, but I also don't see a complete failure of the current power structure. State governments would step in and would put pressure on the counties to do more work and keep order. If the states collectively failed, I imagine some counties would be able to stand independent, but most won't
It's also important to note how crazy the ASML EUV machines are, they each take a megawatt of power to produce about 100 watts of EUV. The infrastructure just to run these machines is staggering. TSMC uses about 5% of Taiwans total power I believe.
From what I observe Google Photos is quite popular. It's from 2015.
Sounds like you've just used node incorrectly, like without any error handling or frameworks? Pure node has always been pretty bad until very recently, the ecosystem is a big part of what has made it popular.
OK Elon, they used flame trenches since Gemini. Why did you not start building one 6 months ago, then it would have been ready in time for the launch?

As an experiment, let's just think of the news industry as specialising in those two business lines. ^_^

Bias cannot be eliminated from the news business -- bias is the business. Even the sincerity of declared bias is no guarantee of good faith/ethics.

Consider the challenges that Wikipedia faces trying to represent knowledge about history and events in an objective manner.

"News" means different scope at different levels of conception.

* NL0 = personal, individual; at this level, "news" is the for-profit business of feeding (and shaping) the individual mass of feelings and stubborn opinions; the only objective things at NL0 are Maslow's hierarchy and *the local weather*.

* NL1 = regional power structure; at this level, "news" becomes part of regional economics, social policy, and broad weather patterns; political theatre begins obvious pandering at this level.

* NL2 = national power structure; at this level, national economic and social policy, regional economic tensions, perspective of international power structures and spheres of influence; political pandering is intense.

* NL3 = international power structures; at this level, various nations compete and/or cooperate economically and militarily; there are spheres of geopolitical influence.

News business will ally itself with a power structure. This is where democracy, for all its challenges, is still the best hope of any free (or free-ish) society.[1]

News "for the people" really depends on how militant the people are prepared to be.

So, for the most part, power structures write the news. State-funded news is only as reliable as popular confidence in the state providing the funding.[2]

What is the modus operandi for upvoting links on HN these days? Is it to upvote interesting titles, so we can discuss certain topics? Or to upvote interesting content?

The topic (AI and the future of copyright law) is interesting. But the content seems to be an angry rant without any merit or structure.

many gener­a­tive AI prod­ucts are based on
massive viola­tions of law

If so, which law was violated?

"Shouldn't", "ought to" etc. don't hold in real life regardless of what we want or think as devs.

A good illustration of this: https://old.reddit.com//r/recruitinghell/comments/qhg5jo/thi...

The reality is that having passed an interview at a FAANG company, having any work experience at a FAANG company on your resume opens a lot of doors while looking for a new job, even if it's a few months. Being laid off from a FAANG company is still bad, but if it was part of a broad layoff for cost reasons then it's not bad.

You can argue till you're blue in the face about how this is a bad thing but that does not change reality that those laid off from Google are better off in a job search than people laid off from random companies that no one heard of.
Here is a very real example where 32k tokens is not enough: predicting discharge disposition for a long stay inpatient. A 30-day hospital stay can produce over 1,000 clinical notes.
Hahaha, that was a busy weekend when this launched in like 2005-2006. I was one of the sysadmins of the website with the THEMIS images. Google promoted it directly below the search box. Which made my web servers 3 clicks away from Google’s front page. I spent the weekend cannibalizing compute nodes from one of our clusters to work as caching proxies. It all worked out pretty well.
>A few significant findings emerged. The birds engaged in most calls for the maximum allowed time. They formed strong preferences—in the preliminary pilot study, Cunha’s bird Ellie, a Goffin’s cockatoo, became fast friends with a California-based African grey named Cookie. “It’s been over a year and they still talk,” Cunha says.

It would be fun if they get some of the birds to actually meet the birds on the other side!
It would probably include some institutions masquerading as representatives of ethnic groups but that isnt quite the same thing.
The Sinclair parroting clip is not right wing. If it said "danger to our constitutional republic" then yes, that would be right wing. A democracy is what happens when a republic breaks down according to Plato's Republic. A democracy isn't a truly bad thing but what comes after it is. Worst of the worst. From there it returns to a republic and the cycle starts over.

> For instance, to run a typog­raphy busi­ness, I have to stay conver­sant in at least four program­ming languages—Python, JavaScript, Racket, and Swift

The latter two are relatively uncommon. I can see why Swift might be needed for Apple's platform, but I was curious what the functional language Racket is doing in that list. A bit of Googling revealed that the author himself wrote a book publishing tool in Racket:

I was referring to the statute, in that you shall capitalize R&D. That's not just the plain language of the statute [1], or how the Congress who passed it interpreted it [2], it's the plain language as the IRS describes it in Pub 535 [3]:

> Research or experimental expenditures paid or incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2021, must be charged to a separate specified research or experimental capital account and amortized ratably over a 5-year period ... The expenses cannot be deducted in full in the current year.

> Research or experimental expenditures, as used in section 174, are research and development costs ... you incur in connection with your trade or business [..] The costs related to developing software are treated as research and experimental expenditures.

Nothing contradicts this plain meaning. Rev Proc 2023-11 [5] just reiterates that yes, all software development is included in R&E expenses:

> 2.02 (5) Section 174(c)(3) provides that for purposes of § 174, any amount paid or incurred in connection with the development of any software is treated as a research or experimental expenditure accounted for under the required § 174 method.

And yes, no deduction is allowed:

> 2.02 (1) As amended by § 13206(a) of the TCJA, § 174(a)(1) provides that in the case of a taxpayer’s specified research or experimental expenditures for any taxable year, except as provided in § 174(a)(2), no deduction is allowed for such expenditures.

The sad part is that it's not even that much money. The Joint Committee estimates [4] that it will gain about 12 billion per year on average, but most of that is front-loaded into TY22 and 23. So they force larger companies like Google to hand over their cash so they can collect the float on it or whatever, and they don't care it will fuck over all these startups. They probably modeled it in.

This can superficially sound elitist, but for what it's worth I've seen plenty of conventional programmers, for whom this is their full time job, get this wrong, or spend weeks/months doing the work necessary to get it right. It isn't about the programmers being better people or something, it's really about the idea that you can not in general take something that professionals in their wheelhouse find a hard time doing and hand it off to people doing it part-time with no experience and get the same results.

Locally we're playing with "no code" but we're very much making sure it's "leaf node" sorts of tasks, that consume other services but don't provide them.

I think no-code should probably be contextualized in the context of other professions in the business. Would you take a no-accounting solution and hand it off to the programmers? Simplify away the double-entry bookkeeping (too hard for non-accountants, which, I mean, that's not sarcasm, it's really quite close to the truth), simplify all the accounting details, and then let the programmers run the finance department? What would the expected result be? Why would it be any different if you took a no-lawyer system and handed it off to sales to try to run the legal department?

There's a place for such tools nevertheless. Expense reporting software is essentially a "no accounting" accounting tool, for instance. But you keep it carefully fenced in to where it makes sense, you don't go trying to turn your expense reporting tool into the accounting software for the whole firm. I think no code has a valid place in the business but you need to make sure you're not doing the equivalent of claiming it can run accounting for the whole business.

They also used to send a UPS pickup for free, but lately I've been having to take the return to the local UPS store. It definitely pushes me past the convenience threshold for impulse purchases where I'd rather not take the risk of having to unbox, find out something is broken or incorrect or a scam, repackage it, drive to the store, then purchase the product again elsewhere. Might as well just find the product literally anywhere else if possible.
What game server? Did you write the telegram integration plugin/script yourself?
Because the project is small right now (and makes no money), I've included a very limited list of sources for each category, however at scale we would have alot of options for getting past this.

For example, one way in theory is to scrape all known publicly available news sites and create an article for every single detected story, but this would be very expensive.

As someone with experience in the media, what steps would you take to find these under-reported stories? Maybe the steps can be replicated with AI to increase coverage?
That theory fails to account for Japan's failed semiconductor industry.
So if you change one byte in a clone, then it will just update a single block in the changed file while leaving all the other clone's data streams unchanged. But what happens if you add (or delete) a byte near the front of a 10GB file? Does that cause the entire data stream to be written, since the rest of the data must be shifted up or down?
Not in line with the most recent studies about this issue:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/exd.14142

When you analyze if attractiveness or height gives you a genetic/population advantage, you cannot stop at "they are promoted". They have to have more children, and the children have to also have genetic advantages.

For example, if you have a pale skin in Sweden 20.000 years ago, your vitamin D metabolism is better, so of your 5 children 4 reach adulthood healthy. Meanwhile, your black neighbor had 5 children and only 2 reached adulthood, and they have rickets. In a few generations, the skin gets white among the population.

But if you both lived in Africa, 4 of your 5 kids developed melanoma at young age. They either die or get horribly scarred. Meanwhile, your neighbor still has 4 healthy kids that never get sunburns. The amount of sunlight is so high that D vitamin is not an issue.
Nah, I'm not pretending anything of the likes in any way. In fact, the overwhelming majority of apps aren't cross-platform at all, so that's really the norm, not cross-platform frameworks.

All I'm saying is that unlike the native platform-specific frameworks (which are limited to the respective platform, but which the platform vendors make available free of charge under terms favorable to commercial app development), there no cross-platform frameworks that are simultaneously good and not encumbered by totally grabastically shite licensing/pricing terms, thus naturally leading to a wide majority of application developers either going platform-specific… and a large part of the rest (i.e. those who still want to do cross-platform) going with the ugly embedded browser solution (electron and the likes).

The browser-based approach, ugly as it is, happens to unfortunately be the only cross platform solution that is not encumbered by shitty app-developer-unfriendly licensing/pricing terms. Make a good, feature-rich and comprehensive cross-platform UI framework that is suitable both for desktop and mobile applications available under a nice permissive open-source license and you'll see lots of app developers use your framework instead of reluctantly using that browser shite (electron and such).

The dilemma is: who's paying for the development? A good feature-rich comprehensive UI framework is an enormous effort (both upfront and ongoing), and recouping that enormous cost is far from obvious unless falling into one of these categories:

* Platform-specific (i.e. not cross-platform): framework development financed by big platform vendor who makes framework available for free but platform-specific, in order to push their platform and make their money with the latter

* browser based frameworks: framework development cost greatly reduced by re-using a pre-existing browser engine developed by some big player who finances browser engine development because they have a commercial interest in pushing their browser

* Choosing a license that makes the financing of the framework possible by making the app developers pay mucho money… but then it will naturally be avoided by most app developers, especially given the existence of free alternatives (which may have other disadvantages, but those are orthogonal to that problem)

* A big player subsidizing the development cost by some cross-financing from money made otherwise: that has happened for some open source software and libs in other domains, but not for a good cross-platform UI framework so far unfortunately.
> But either way, it would seem that if you go far enough back every single human will be an ancestor of yours.

What is your basis for asserting that transformers (not even sure what's meant: one layer?) are Turing-complete?
> This is also true for pale colors in general(non-black and non-brown) which are perceived as more attractive

Do you have sources for this? As written, to me it reads a lot like garden variety racism.
A very good question - I do feel differently about fish, and I think it's the relative level of intelligence.

As you suggest, it's clearly not just because birds have an ability to explore an environment natively that humans don't.

I'm sure that's a bias towards similarities with human intelligence - to communicate, solve puzzles, and use tools (e.g. crows and parrots) because it would be very sad if people were regularly keeping octopuses in home fish tanks.
> I think this is actually a good thing in the long run because “requiring intent” creates a clearly perverse incentive where the organization may be able to do illegal things so long as it can delude itself about them

This doesn't really match how intent is handled in (at least American) law. There are reasonable-person tests. It is subpar, and so I agree with your second paragraph, but it isn't as cut and dry as the first paragraph suggests.
It's cheaper but ineffective. The trick is to use automation as much as possible and not a drop more. Excellent customer service agents are actually helpful for this. The agents you have aren't mindless drones, they're people and they don't want to do yet another stupid call where they explain that button X does thing Y, even though it's labelled X, they can gladly explain what needs improving because they're interacting with your customers all day - and then you can fix it. Cherish these people.

My good bank (First Direct) has done really well at this. I can call them about anything 24/7, a human answers about as quickly as a person would answer their own phone, maybe 5-10 seconds, not long enough for one of those stupid "We're very busy" messages. But I rarely talk to them because all routine stuff just works correctly so I don't need to. I called them once to ask what happens if I need a whole lot of cash right soon (since they don't have physical locations, the answer was for very large amounts I need to give a lot of notice but a courier brings me the cash) and decades ago I called them because I wanted my debit card to work in the ATMs for other banks (remember when it didn't? Maybe you're too young). Also I called them to transfer money to buy my current home because that's too much money to be authorised by a web form apparently.
Prompt Engineer is the new Scrum Master.
Eh, you are always at risk of being fired, too. You’d have to have some kind of data to make the claim that this risk is more meaningful than the 1000 other risks you take every day.

Otherwise you’re just accepting status quo risks blindly, and thereby letting the mob make decisions for you. That seems risky.
