If China claims that the Baltic states are illegitimate, then it follows that there are no legitimate diplomatic relations between these countries and China. From this it follows that any supposed Chinese diplomats and consolates in the Baltics are fraudulent. They should be seized.
Feel free to cite what they violated. People are really quick to claim this but can't back it up or grab one of two sentences from one of the copyright statutes and claim it's a clear violation without any understanding of what they just copied.

Douglas Englebart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos) worked there in the 60s. They were one of the very first sites on the Internet. Lots of highly technical research has been done there over the decades.
I was thinking/wondering this myself. Not to reinvent the wheel - more toss an idea around, but a 'venv for LD_PRELOAD' sounds like it'd deal with this pretty handily

Not... in a way I'd use as a distribution/release maintainer. Probably as an administrator [of my LAN]
Wow, that sounds like a bummer -- I can't imagine spending a significant portion of my life working on something and never establishing any meaningful relationships with the people that I worked with.

China is already the world leader in moderation and already suppress content about Tiannanmen with ease. They don’t need ‘investment’ to develop AI. They have a wealthy local economy.
An addendum to the posted article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTV-wwszGw8

Cities aren't loud; motor vehicles are. Tire noise near heavy stroads and highways are in particular egregious offenders. There's a lot of other points in the comments about some other urban nuisances (leaf blowers, anyone?) but I encourage anyone to walk around (yes, walk) while measuring the ambient noise levels with your smartphone's microphone.

It will be extremely obvious where the noise is coming from. This is an often misunderstood part of "the war on cars:" the stress gained from additional constant noise (e.g. like a highway) takes YEARS off our lives.

And don't get me started on how loud shops are in North America. For whatever reason they seem to always keep the volume three or four levels above comfortable, making it much harder to have a conversation without shouting at least a little.

It wasn't until I started traveling a lot that I started to notice any of this. You can have your quiet part of town, but often you get to your quiet part of town by driving through the noisiest part of town where a good number of people live and work.
Maybe if they didn't sponsor terrorism around the world, while oppressing their own people, they wouldn't get sanctioned? The find out part of fuck around doesn't mean they don't control their own destiny. Plenty of normal countries to look at for example.
It seems to me that the fact people are self-censoring is a problem, regardless of what their views are. Questioning the legitimacy of their views here is unlikely to help, and seems like victim-blaming.
It is a tool for communication. We can build a twitter clone on it, a chess match server, IoT messaging, etc. Nostr-the-protocol is a proper tool. Agreed that the social aspects built on top of it should be built with human wellbeing in mind - not ad revenue.

Hopefully having the nostr protocol in place lets people iterate faster to build good social technology, and accelerates moving past the ad/engagement focused platforms we live with today.
Because two people said this, and frankly it's stupid, I'll give my view: if you give examples, you immediately have people start debating the validity of the examples with you, instead of the actual topic. And so people like you and the other person (no idea of your actual intentions obviously) seem to pop up and say "oh, what opinions do you mean" to try and tell them their opinion is extremist or whatever. It's a bush league online debate tactic, whether intentional or not.
Yes, it is useful when you want to contrast Iranian Persian with other varieties used in Afghanistan, Tajikistan etc., but when talking about all of them together it is confusing.

Game studios already know Linux distributions quite well on the server, and most AAA games on Android are basically only using the NDK, meaning ISO C and C++, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, OpenSL.

Besides that, PlayStation OS is based on FreeBSD. Even if the 3D API is different, it is just yet another backend.

They don't port them, because the QA and support aren't worth the sales, that is about it.
Such things already exist. Eg. Appimage or even docker.
Are they industry specific? Monster Energy has a history of suing for trademark infringement over the word "Monster" in video game titles. Companies have caved to their requests. Unsure if that was due to validity or lack of willing to pay legal fees.

I had posted a separate comment on the ruling that discusses this point.

The district court and the appeals court both agree that Apple is well within its rights to charge developers $99 initially and x% of revenues, under the principle of what they are calling IP compensation.

The district court did not completely agree to Apple's argument that 30% is fair (they expressly rejected it) and the appeals court observed that Epic's tactic on this argument was legally flawed and mentioned something to the effect of Epic should have used a different argument (and since they didn't, we are not ruling on this). To me, this looks like a vulnerability for Apple that they could be attacked by a different plaintiff using a different legal theory.
This is correct.

It might not be the openness that OSS developers expect, but they're providing a platform for anyone to build on top of, whether it be hobbyist projects or commercial products.
I think you're onto something, at least on Reddit somebody would rush to prove you wrong (and get that sweet karma in the process). They say that HN is a more civilized Reddit, but I think only in form.
I think arguing back and forth about unsubstantial things on the internet is one of those small things that can really affect your mood. It's pointless and has mostly downside and no upside for me. So, I hedge my comments and word them with a bit of care to avoid knee-jerk responses that just want to disagree on technicalities.
Mastodon itself is designed for "flagship scale" (given lead developers run mastodon.social and mastodon.online, two of the biggest instances and the most "dogfooding" two instances) so it bundles an entire cluster of services: background processors (sidekiq), caches (redis, I think?), database server (postgres), optional ElastiCache, and more. I don't know how much Ruby itself accounts for expensive overhead, but just running all of those other things on a single server vertically for a single user instance is a massive, expensive overhead. (It's clearly built for horizontal scale where your background services and caches and database servers may all be different clusters of VMs/servers over vertical stack efficiency when "scaled down" from the "natural" "mastodon.social scale" that Mastodon is most optimized for.)

It's an interesting optimization problem reminder that scaling factors are different for different needs and not everything scales cleanly to every use case. A single user instance should be able to use a much smaller vertical stack, but scaling down from a wide horizontal stack is not necessarily the best or cheapest place to start when building something like that.

(There are some interesting projects I've seen to build single user instances with much less overhead, shorter vertical stacks. I'm curious to see where those efforts go. In my own usage of Mastodon my "single user" instance gets the benefits of the horizontal scaling Mastodon was built for because my hosting provider does a bunch of work to make sure that they take advantage of that economy of scale to host many small instances for cheaper than trying to run small instances in one-off VMs.)
To me, this is an issue with the recommendation system. Twitter having fired so many of their engineers is barely functional as it is and is hardly in a position to devote engineering talent to improving feed quality when the kitchen sink is on fire.
You can use it for a lot more than just passwords, which IMO is what makes it stand apart from Bitwarden. You can store notes, credit cards, photocopies of IDs, software licenses, key pairs, etc. You get 1GB of storage. They really have turned it into a "vault" for anything digital.
Court-imposed fines and fees are 'entrapping' poor people: Justice Department
It’s about what the word “buy” means though.

If we are happy that you can buy services, I assume we are happy with Steam using “buy” to represent the purchase of the service and licensing offering they have?
> it's still light years ahead of the Bitwarden clients and extensions

I’m quite possible a simpleton but I can’t see how it’s light years ahead of Bitwarden. Can you provide an example of such difference?

Every time I used to check 1password (before the Great Purge of local vaults) I always arrived at the same conclusion. It’s a bit more beautiful but not 3x or 4x (whatever the price is) more beautiful then Bitwarden.

Functionality wise I couldn’t see much of a difference. Both save passwords, both share passwords, both generate passwords and both have Totp support.
Token binding was the closest we had - still lets a compromised endpoint in the right position steal and use the tokens from that device, but it's at least not persistent.
I mean, you should have a safe for a million reasons. Mine was bought from Groupon for $50 and wouldn't even keep out a determined teen if they didn't mind the intrusion being detected.

It just gives you a single location in your house which you know nobody could accidentally open up and misplace the contents. It's where our passports and other foundational government documents, ATM cards, and yes, 2FA materials go. When you keep that kind of stuff in say, a desk or nightstand drawer, it's vulnerable to the 'oh crap, we cleaned out that drawer' attack, where you or your family members toss that stuff inadvertently.

Try a safe, it's great.
But that assumes that Apple is the marketplace in the first place.

The best way to think about this is in terms of accesories for physical products.

Unofficial aftermarket accesories are considered completely legal to make and sell, without paying a dime to the base product's manufacturer. Such should be the case with iOS. Apps are essentially "digital accesories".

It's a good question and I am not a domain expert; I will bring it up with legislators the next time I speak with those I speak with to inquire as to what a reasonable statute implementation would look like when tied to a reduction in the work week via amending the FLSA [1]. Some flexibility for multinationals is warranted (as there are intangibles besides profit for international investment), but not "ship all work to where it's done with the cheapest labor while being permitted to extract as much as you can from the market you operate in."

I love this. Not just for restoring pointing capabilities to people without the use of their hands or dexterity, but for how unintrusive it is.

How awesome would it would be to use this to control a head-mounted display like Google Glass? Imagine if I could be out in public and operate a computer without it ever being obvious that I'm doing anything—without it ever getting in the way, without it ever distracting others.

Maybe we finally have a matching input method to go with those contact-lens HUDs.

And oh man, imagine the covert opportunities this would open up. Phone not allowed? That's OK, I have a computer in my head. My limbs can be full or even tied up and I'd still be able to compute. In a threatening situation where I can't move? That's fine, I can call for help or start a recording with just the use of my tongue, without putting myself in any additional danger.

Plus, tongue control lacks a lot of the issues that BCIs normally bring up, like the difficulty of inhibiting random electrical signals in my brain. With my tongue, there is no doubt that any movement I make was entirely intended. I can be faster and more efficient because I can perform actions with more certainty and less ambiguity.

I've joined the waitlist. Digits crossed that this doesn't end up costing tens of thousands of dollars, although there's no price listed so it probably will.
In theory the network should respect each IP address as if it is held by a separate entity, who should be judged as an individual and not as part of a group.

In practice, due to bad actors, almost all internet services will in fact discriminate against you if your neighbors are (or have been) assholes. Sometimes they even discriminate against your IP address because they have PTSD about a different address that looks like your address.

What can we do? Not a lot. If the customers of MSFT don't care enough to complain that email is not being delivered to them, MSFT doesn't care either.
But, just as with IBM and NCR, “SRI” is now just a 3-letter non-acronym, that officially doesn’t stand for anything.
CreateChatApp
The "preferential positioning" seems to be just a belief at this point. Anecdotally I've seen far more people saying they've seen no difference in Tweet engagement since subscribing.

But I agree with you -- it's the belief they'll get preferential positioning that crypto grifters, SEO lunatics, and marketing slimeballs are banking on.

Personas of people who would buy Blue at this point fall into a few buckets:

• The aforementioned group of users hoping for preferential positioning

• People who simply want to show support for Elon/Twitter by paying

• People who are desperate for a blue check, to feel important

• People who find value in the features of Twitter Blue (which, if we're honest, are meager)

Lots of overlap in these -- e.g., I think people who are desperate for a blue check are claiming to be subscribed because of the Twitter Blue features -- a modern take on "I read Playboy for the articles."
Are you tired of answering the same questions over and over again? Or maybe you want to provide your website visitors with a better user experience by offering them an AI chatbot? Whatever your reason, CreateChatApp can help you create your own custom ChatGPT bot with ease.

Using CreateChatApp, you can create a chatbot that is tailored to your specific needs. For example, if you have a business that sells computer parts, you can create a chatbot that answers questions about computer hardware, compatibility, and pricing. Or if you're a blogger, you can create a chatbot that answers questions about your blog posts.

To get started, simply go to CreateChatApp.com and click on "Get Started." From there, you'll be taken to the dashboard, where you can create a new app. Name the app, add a description, and enter an initial message that the user will see when they initiate the chat. Then, add data to the chatbot so that it knows what it's talking about. This can be in the form of blog posts, tutorials, or any other type of content. Once the data is added, ask the chatbot a question related to that data, and save it.

That's it! Your chatbot is now ready to use. You can share the public link with anyone you want to chat with, and they can ask the chatbot questions related to the data you provided. The more information you give it, the more powerful it becomes, as it can handle a wider range of questions.

CreateChatApp is perfect for businesses and individuals looking to provide automated support or answer common questions. Try it out and let us know what you think!

There is pyml for interopt but I've never used it.
It doesn't delete them from the existing device. However, it exports them via qr code, which it prevents you from screenshotting, meaning you can never factory reset your phone or protect yourself from theft or loss. You can only transfer to another phone when you have both devices working at the same time.
> From the outside religion seems more about hate than love.

I'd wager the view is different from the inside. Communities of any kind can be condemned one way or another from the outside. The weekly potlucks and choirs still exist and I'll bet you way fewer Christian parents (of whatever denomination) see a gay child as a sin than whenever it was that you grew up.

> I don't think that as a society we have figured out what the next evolution of community looks like.

Honestly, it might look like a society in which people go back to church.

What do you propose as a solution?
Canadian perspective here. The median wage of an electrician in Canada is CAD$30/hr (approx €20/hr or USD$22/hr).[1] Not great.

That requires a four to five year apprenticeship and the prospects for electricians in the near future is considered "very limited" in the province I live in (BC), which is among the nicest places to live and also the most expensive.[3] (And pays electricians lower than the national median.)

So IMO that hourly wage standard needs to go WAY up before it's considered tempting. Most electricians here work on new projects and there is great reluctance to increase the cost of construction projects (e.g. worker pay) any more than it has already jumped in the last few years.

AI is already way more important than VR. I have had a lot of people tell me that they are already making serious economically-impactful use of AI both personally and professionally, many others are the same.

The failure of Snapchat here is doing AI for the sake of AI.
Call it playing devil's advocate here but given all the scam around "SomethingGPT" I find it reasonable to assume they try to trademark it mainly to prevent this.
I get a feeling that this wasn't planned, that this "just happened" after the release of ChatGPT and by that time it was obvious that "GPT" was the brand people were talking about and you can't simply turn the tide.

The trademark application was from december 2022, after the release of chatGPT. If they wanted to use GPT as a brand name, they'd have filed the trademark before that, perhaps back in 2020 when the GPT-3 trademark application was submitted without trying to also trademark "GPT" as such.
> All other things being equal, there's nothing wrong with trying to shove computers into a car.

I think that's preferable. That Teslas are "computers with a car built around them" that phone home to the mothership and get automatic updates is the main reason why I will never buy a Tesla.
It's not just a change in the distribution channel; the law makes that clear.

The outcome the law is aiming at is one where a developer can make and distribute an app without entering into any contractual relationship with Apple at all.
I.. agree, but I don’t think recreating existing platforms is a good idea either in FOSS or commercial projects. As you say, it’s already there.

> Network effects are just so powerful and people post to be seen.

Yeah, but those people aren’t moving the needle anyway, so they can be safely ignored, for now. They’ll come when it gets popular or trendy (see the recent mastodon influx).

Current gen social media is clearly not the end-all be-all. It’s riddled with problems, both because of the business model which incentivizes short-termism like clickbait, but also inherent problems in the social graph, feeds, etc. We’ve had at least a decade of experience to learn from the mistakes of the giants. Maybe this sounds elitist, but whenever I see a Twitter clone (say current gen Mastodon or Substack Notes) all I see is a lack of creativity and courage to face novel opportunities.
There are alternatives like aegis. People should just turn their backs on google auth all together.

Does SRI still stand for "Stanford Research Institute"? I thought it was just an acronym since it separated from the university, as described in your wikipedia link:
