SELinux in Linux 6.4 Removes Run-Time Disabling Support
ML researchers would get a lot of interesting ideas from Ed Yong's book: "An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us"

It goes through the extraordinarily diverse sensory systems of all animals. In the push for at-the-edge, exteme-low-latency, low-resource "intelligent" agents, mimicking some of these system may lead to cool systems.
Yeah, they could just impose additional tax for nonstandard phones, like +30% the price. This way if a company really wants a fancy port, they technically can do this, but likely will loose market share because of a big price compared to companies that follow standards

Do you mean PineTime, or is there a "PrimeTime" smartwatch that I don't know about?
I am surprised this comment section is so spicy. I generally agree with everything here. Matrix multiplication to manipulate data is not taking over the world unless you give it nuclear launch codes and train it to. Or you give it the launch codes and allow model drift haha.
Funko Pop too. It seems like anyone can do it if they have deep enough pockets and enough clout to woo the license holders.
Star Wars movies use Roman numerals. I don't see them changing that. There will be episodes X, XI, XII...
I just put in somerandomname@<the_article_domain.tld> in the field.

Or admin@, info@, postmaster@, or something like that.

Hopefully it remembers "me" and doesn't bother me again.
Ending encryption is like ending math. It's not possible and just moves the developers more into the underground. It could likely cause regulatory arbitrage situations too (e.g. developers create apps for other countries but determined people in the U.K. find a way to access them).
I'm sure we had legislative threats to encryption under Cameron, and Blair, and quite possibly every prime minister between.

I'm uncertain whether to be relieved (because multiple previous attempts have come to naught) or worried (because they might actually do it this time).
Given the example in the paper:

Fact1: The hallway is east of the bathroom.

Fact2: The bedroom is west of the bathroom.

Question: What is the bathroom east of?

Answer: bedroom

Asked for better understanding, if the two facts given above are embedded in,say the Bible, would the system be able to answer the question correctly?
Does that mean it can track the state of an object and determine it at a certain point in time?
What's most amazing to me is that everyone talks about how profitable Apple is, but it's really Saudi Aramco that rains the money with being 2x more profitable than Apple.

Apple P/E is: 28x

Saudi Aramco P/E is: 12x
I think this is implicit in your comment, but making it more explicit: The more similar the new thing you're doing is to something you've already done, the better this works.

I think there's a reasonable need for an ISP to act as a censor, if that's what its customers require. Hopefully, enough people want a censorship-free experience that every provider becoming a censor is unlikely to happen.

If your mail service had a "make sure mail from known pornographers doesn't get delivered to my house" option, and you had kids at home, you might well opt for it.
Hey, as long as e-commerce stores keep giving me 10% off my first order, which I was going to place anyway, then I'll keep subscribing (and then unsubscribing) from their shitty newsletter.
Going further in schooling maybe, but getting degrees nowadays is usually not primarily for personal enlightenment.

Nor does it usually make people any more intelligent, in fact there may be an inverse correlation...
I think there really was a time when gaming seemed like a fundamentally limited medium that was really mostly for children. Non-bankswitched 2600 games, for example, are not really a medium that can be used for very much interesting storytelling, just not-very-repeatable (unless you're 8 years old) "flashing colors" experiences. I agree that it wasn't long after the 2600 era that this changed dramatically though. In the US, it realistically was the success of the Commodore 64 that changed this. 64k of memory and much more capable video hardware completely changed the game. Similar machines led this revolution in Europe.

Actually, even before the 2600 there were complex mainframe and Unix games (for the very limited audiences that had access to these machines), but my point is that I can't really blame somebody in, say, 1978 seeing an Atari cartridge game and thinking it would never be something adults were interested in.
I don’t know why everybody trusts government bodies to act fast and delegate authority as needed when it’s clearly not how things happen in the real world. The nature of government is to be slow, safe and long-term, not enable technological disruption.

For example the cookie law has made most websites significantly less enjoyable and everybody hates it and yet it has been stuck for years, no hope of improvement in sight.

Actually having just tested, I have a bunch of "aftermarket" lightning cables, and a few of them some of my iPads (I think the more recent ones) and most of my iPhones refuse to charge. Like at all.

So not fast charging, charging at all. They work on some of the iPads, so they do work.

Why do the phones refuse to charge then? Not fast charging, which I can sort of understand, charging at all.
Monolith is not a best practice.

With most web applications you'll end up with a web part and at some point some crob jobs. In this case they also have a service that processes a queue.

They should in be in the same repo, that's a Monorepo.

A web app with some cronjobs is best deployed as separate executables (ideally docker containers). In this case they had everything in one exe, including threads to run the queue etc.

So it looks like there solution was more complicated by aiming to be a Monolith.

I agree. I was skeptical to use Kagi at first, but since making the jump a few months ago, I'm never looking back.

Kagi gives you so much power over your search experience. I don't even have to use site:Reddit.com anymore to find non-SEO-optimized content. It's like using Google in the early 2000s!
Sure I'll give you that. However I then followed with population level data from two of the large Canadian provinces representing nearly 20 million people.
If the pop up listed two options - email subscribe or rss subscribe - I don’t think I would be nearly as irritated and would probably use the rss option a lot.
> If I were to make a list of useless activities that could safely vanish overnight without me missing them, I would indeed wave my wand at fashion, as well as vehicle racing; all forms of movies, video, YouTube, etc; the music “industry” (not musicians!); motorized watercraft; Internet advertising; fast-food restaurants; celebrities… But some people would (inexplicably to me) not agree.

Funny how this works. One of the great premises of the Culture novels, formative for so many nerds, was that material plenty and AI governance would get us to a point where anyone could have as much of those things as they wanted. With none of the downsides.

But given how long the list is I'm baffled at what you and your family might do for entertainment.
> One has to resist the impulse.

One of the best ways I have found to resist the impulse is to own all feedback. If your wife has an issue with something it's either a real issue or you failed to communicate it properly or it's a combination. My wife and I have a relationship where I explain something and she has issues forcing me to rework communication, the something, or a bit of both. Ends up being very helpful.

Dramatic reduction in networking opportunities does have negative impacts.

Organizations have to be more intentional about making it happen, as it won’t happen by itself anymore.

That fully centralized command economies have had severe issues historically doesn't mean completely deregulated markets would fare better. I don't think anyone is seriously hoping for a comeback of privateers.

Arguing that one extreme is bad is not an argument for the other extreme, especially when every economy on Earth currently exists somewhere in between those two extremes rather than on either end (except maybe the DPRK if you squint really hard and tilt your head).

Incidentally the current scarecrow of unfree markets, the PRC, is doing economically pretty well and "top-down control" within large parts of the industries is pretty popular except we call it "vertical integration". But that's a tangent, I agree.

"Stagnation bad, disruption good" is 101 level analysis. The important question remains the direction. Disruption is movement. Movement is good if it takes you to a better place. But if you just move for movement's sake you might as well end up hurling everyone down a cliff. Letting go of all the reins is fun and exciting in a simulation, not so much in the real world where failure can mean death, suffering and permanent harm.
No pauses and high throughput? Do you have any links to how it does this? I'd really like to know.

Parallel Agile: Interesting Idea – Does It Work?
They overblock, probably intentionally, so it's easy to find a "legit" reason to unblock. It was something really banal for me - I think they'd blocked a furniture site or something.
That’s not blocked
The fact that every "democratic" superpower seeks to criminalize or prohibit E2EE at the same time gives the impression there is some sorta coordination between state actors to do so.
As a business owner it’s just so much more economical to hire remote. No office expense, the pool of talent is so much larger, no relocation expenses, people are happier with the flexible schedules.

Entry level employees need to learn how to succeed and grow in this environment because economically it is just so overwhelmingly better for me, the business owner. I predict a surge in downtown living within the next 5 years as offices are converted or destroyed and rebuilt as apartments and condos. Young people will live there and WFH but get their socialization from the critical mass of young people living around them, learning how to make friends post-college outside of work (which is way healthier as well).

It’s way easier to figure out new mechanisms of working to mentor and grow junior employees in a remote environment than it is to fight economics. The economics are just superior and you can’t fight that.
“Parents should be able to decide what religious materials their child should learn, not the (Texas legislature),” the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas said in a statement.

Definitely agree, but it's super ironic in that there's all sorts of ideology being taught in schools now, that's effectively the same as a religion, but it gets a pass because it's not a monotheistic religion.
The two proposed theories are “deception” (hiding the age of the movie) and “convention” (it’s how everyone else does it, so we keep doing it that way). General consensus seems to be the deception theory is nonsense and the convention theory is pretty obviously correct (and I agree).

The next interesting question is why the convention persists. One theory that works for things like monuments might be “gravitas”: it’s harder to decipher the date, but monuments are important and sacred, and we signal our respect for that sacredness by accepting the extra decoding cost. That theory does not work for copyright dates on movies, there is nothing sacred there. However, there is also no pressure on the copyright date to be readable and informative. Approximately nobody needs to be able to tell the copyright date of a movie from a glance during their credits roll. So there is no cost to imitating gravitas and no reason to stop; in such a frictionless environment, the inertia of the convention is, by itself, enough to keep the practice going indefinitely.
I don’t like this argument because it makes the subject in question overly abstract in a way that would not apply in other situations.

Examples:

“How dare you make me become a licensed engineer just to be paid to do math?”

“How dare you arrest me for this child porn? It’s just a sequence of 1s and 0s, therefore, you are criminalizing a number!”
Is it a good idea to build an newsletter subscription service (like mailchimp) that works like apple email relay, where the customers don't have access to the actual emails? The difference would be on trust that the provider will not use the emails for it's own purposes other than what the newsletter owner agreed too in a contractually binding manner that survives acquisitions. Now the newsletter owns the relationship, and the readers are assured that they're not handing over their email and can easily unsubscribe.
For commercial entities, no other reason except for marketing.

Many years ago you would attend and get some good knowledge, not now nor has that been true for say the past 20+ years. I would say 99+% of the "classes" are about how this Product will make your life better and you get Mom and Apple Pie too.

About 15 years ago, I told my manager that I will no longer go to these and maybe you should send the new young hires to them. Why, most of them will feel good for being picked and are a bit too young to know how much of a waste most of these conferences are :) Plus the young people will get to see competitors of the products we bought, getting a better idea on how to do things.

The only other people that these would be good for are marketing people.
It's borderline unreadable (literally) on my Chromium browser: https://i.imgur.com/Y5QmTDn.png

Some designers miss on the readability front when it comes to weight (ie: textual color) for body text. Most sibling replies talk about background/foreground contrast but something doesn't need to be stark in that regard to be more easily read (which also affects whether people will continue reading something in the first place).

I brought this up years ago but there's a mid-century type design book that mentions a trend in the late 1800s of typefaces in print that were too thin, leading to complaints about readability. However it was in vogue so it lasted for a time.
Very much agreed on this. One of the key things in me being where I am now is spending a few years working for an ISP staffed by technology nerds in my early 20s, where I'd spend all day surrounded by people who knew what they were doing, and then spend several evenings a week in the pub with the same people. Its possible to get the same experience remotely - I got started in the industry via open source work, where mailing lists had a similar atmosphere, but it is so much easier if you can just bounce ideas around.

I love the idea of regular 3 day retreats, but being in my late 30s with a child now doing them anywhere near that regularly is a non-starter for me. Maybe quarterly, but even then you're going to have to really sell it for me to commit to all of them.
ESET NOD32 is still going to be lighter and more performant than any alternative, including Windows Defender. The latter includes big delay for small file access, even just metadata!
Do you use langchain? Curious about the tech stack.
About time I saw an article about this on HN. Honestly one of the worst design patterns since the original popups. I can't believe it works, but it obviously must do, otherwise it wouldn't be so prevalent.

Is there a plugin of sorts that turns these off?
The UK has threatened this on and off for a while. I recall around 2000 they proposed a bill which would have forced everyone who wanted to use encryption to escrow a key with the government. I used to watch some TV in those days and the UK programme "NewsNight" had a discussion about it. There proposing the idea was some poor government flunky. There explaining the flaws in the idea was Whitfield Diffie[1].

Diffie just started by explaining that cybersecurity is all about securing some asset from threats such that the cost of attack was too great given the value of the asset. How do you protect the store that has all the cryptographic keys in the entire United Kingdom? It would be essentially infinitely valuable as a cyberattack target. Government dude was totally out of his depth and the bill was eventually dropped.

[1] Turing award winner and the Diffie in Diffie-Hellman. Fair to say he's a guy who knows a thing or two about cryptography.

Hm. I started working remotely at age 24 years back. This article just doesn't reflect my experiences whatsoever. One data point doesn't mean I'm right, just that this article seems written from an odd perspective from my perspective.
Paragraph 2 of the article:

Philips had to recall millions of sleep apnea devices and ventilators due to potential health risks posed to users. If the sound-dampening foam in the devices made contact with certain cleaning materials, the foam could crumble, and users could breathe it in. “This quarter, Philips Respironics recorded a EUR 575 million provision in connection with the anticipated resolution of the economic loss class action, an important step in addressing the litigation related to the recall,” the company said.
Everything is coordinated at some level. The DMCA began as an attempt to meet our “international obligations.”
LOL made my day. Thanks.
I built a little voice front-end for my aging father to interact with GPT. He has solved a few issues that would be easy with google, but he won't use google on his own. He likes that he can talk to an 'AI'.

So it literally is already unblocking some computing avenues, for some people. This will grow a lot in the near future, as real professionals do serious versions of my toy.
You’ll find some libraries do this for you, such as HTTP servers.

They do this because if your server code makes a mistake such as accessing a nil pointer, a segfault or panic would bring down the entire process. That’s why you want to recover(), to avoid a your process dying.
Or maybe you just refuse to accept that certain ways of working have downsides because you have a personal vested interest to ignore the facts?
Wait, but the site in the article isn’t either any more?
I feel like that kind of self-interest is the origin of open source, and always what has powered it when it's working.

The original apache httpd, for instance, was written by people working at different organizations collaborating together to build the web server that they needed. It wasn't something people did as just a hobby, although the individual contributors may also have had some altruistic and certainly cooperative motivations. It definitely wasn't something people did motivated by trying to make money off of selling apache httpd in some way.

Open source always requires self-interest to fuel it. The original model was people collaborating across organizations because it provided something useful to their organization -- exactly this. When this stops happening, because organizations cut budgets to the bone; because they gatekeep anything that might benefit competitors as well as themselves; because they can free-load off existing open source instead -- what other source of self-interest is there?

One is people trying to profit off of the open source itself, with "open core" models, or models where the license can appear open but tries to ensure that the creators maintain a monopoly on any profitable aspects. Or, we can just get lack of investment in open source everyone is trying to free-load off of, withering open source with burnt out maintainers.

Companies committing to open source because it saves them the time of maintaining it separately is the best case, and describes the environment of the "golden age" of open source.
unlikely to happen, I haven't seen this government U-turn on anything yet!
I say this all the time to people that say they want to use Node because they hate Java. There are so many languages that you can execute on the JVM. It’s almost unfortunate that it’s still called the JVM.
It think the JVM needs a re-branding. Even if they just change the meaning of the J. I suppose that is what GraalVM is doing, but it’s an awful name and its purpose isn’t being conveyed well. The JDK should just switch to this VM and get rid of the name JVM.

These are just my opinions.
But if 1 database dies, then all microservices dont work

So why are you even using them?

The benefit of microservices is also reliability, which you just threw away

Isnt this basically distributed monolith?

So you combined bad things of both worlds!

Tesla has a P/E ratio of 50 and annual earnings growth rate of 75%. It's hard to argue that's overvalued.

Due to the reduction in CO2, NOx and SOx, it is estimated that Tesla has prevented over 100,000 premature deaths.

OTOH, Google & Meta are advertising companies. I question their utility to the world.
Yes, but the comment above yours was not, and hence the discussion is not confined to just that. My point being that this changed a very long time ago. It's not 1970s vs now but 1970s and before vs the last 40 years.
Sometimes I feel its time to build separate Internet with a new protocol like Gemini but better. A protocol tht is resistant to all the BS of modern web.
I've been working remotely for about 9 years now, and have progressed from "designer who knows jQuery" to senior frontend dev. This criticism is true but not insurmountable.

Working remotely requires more active communication and explicit processes to make sure you're filling the deficits, but this can be done. Do code reviews on your merge requests, talk on Slack, do a Live Share in VSCode.

And make the most of your in-person visits: I've had people tell me that I seem to know more people in the company then some of the people who are in the office regularly because I make it a point to make my rounds, introduce myself, and talk to people when I'm there.
