I don't necessarily agree with your conclusion. My conclusion is that culture is more important in democracy than written laws.

I think this does need to be considered more in nation building though. The focus in Afghanistan and Iraq was more on writing a constitution.

Unfortunately the British system is seen more of a rickety accretion rather than something to aim for.
A true Brit should not eat swans as much as Jews and Muslims don't eat pigs.
"Looking into it".
Wow, I'm surprised. When I was young it was pretty big because they're weren't many other games.

But I always found it so boring. Too pensive. I'm not a strategist at all.

Cool that this is getting picked up again though.
What's wrong with 1Password? I've seen several famous cyber security pros recommend 1password (like Troy Hunt).
>It could be useful to shift the perspective if you're used to the US one, when looking at decisions made by European agencies like the CMA.

Sure. On the other hand, it could be useful to listen to Microsoft's perspective on being obstructive to business rather than accusing them of "whining" given that Europe lags behind in technological innovation despite being similarly well educated.
“The idea that this stuff could actually get smarter than people — a few people believed that,” said Hinton to the NYT. “But most people thought it was way off. And I thought it was way off. I thought it was 30 to 50 years or even longer away. Obviously, I no longer think that.”

Calculators are smarter then humans in calculating, what does he mean by that?
No matter how cool it is there are probably some things that nobody else ends up using anyway. ... There you go, you built it and it turned out to be just for yourself :)

Excellent point! It is true for most of the things I build, even though the intent is for the "thing" to see use by others, that the inception was a case of "scratching my own itch." And yes, even if the thing "fails" as something in the global marketplace, I still have the result to continue using for my own itch. :-)
Does anyone have a clear picture of how this affects the employees and office footprint of FRB in the short and long term?

FRB had announced 25% layoffs last week. Is that still on the table? Does it go higher?

FRB is one of the largest leasers of commercial office space in SF at 150,000 sqft*. Is it expected that there will be significant reduction here? Or business as usual?

Yeah but as the Dilbert comic at the end demonstrates, offering rewards for good behavior leads to perverse incentives. So wcyd?
Wasn’t Facebook late to the mobile party insisting on their web app instead of creating a decent native app for the longest time?
How much do you use Google Search throughout your day? Do you consider that exhausting as well? It seems only those that opt out of using ChatGPT or Copilot will be left to play catch-up and get exhausted.
Where do you live that it costs $16/person for Subway? This doesn't seem anything like a national average.
It's in line with their previous style of iteration and small incremental changes on Starship, where they often have the next test article already lined up. I guess we're just not used to seeing it with a complete, large rocket stack.
large apartment buildings are common in nyc and they combine trash from many units, making it impractical.

Fellow chirp-er here, we used it at school to chit chat in a group of friends. The fact that it was 'broadcasted' in some sense was an interesting dynamic. Thanks for the fun times!
IMO the Lichess app is superior. On desktop, the analysis features of Lichess and its database are superior. Ding Liren used the Lichess database to prepare.

I also like Lichess because I can play in arena tournaments against players with a much higher rating than me, which helps me learn - I'm not sure if this is so easy to do on Chess.com.

I paid for Chess.com for a while, but I stopped subscribing when I realized I never used it. Meanwhile I have multiple days of playtime on Lichess. Also, the owners of Chess.com don't seem like very nice people.

I'm pretty sure the pros and streamers prefer Lichess too, but they're sponsored by Chess.com so they have to pretend to like it.
OTOH, most rockets are transported horizontally. (insert picture of Falcon9 going down a road on a flatbed here). This means that they are designed to withstand 1g side loads. SuperHeavy is always roughly vertical. Starship of course has to withstand insane loading horizontally during it's crazy descent and flip stage, but SuperHeavy stays vertical.
It's never the direct effects.

It would likely cause people and companies with uninsured money in other banks to pull their funds out, quite possibly leading to cascading failures even for banks that are perfectly smart and healthy today.

The simple fact is that no bank can survive a run. Not a single one. Because that's how the business works.

IMO the best offramp from the systemic problem is to announce a schedule to phase out any protection for uninsured deposits. Say, 100% insurance for the next 6 months, declining by 1% per month after that, phased out completely in 8ish years.

Slow enough to avoid panic and dramatic swings while allowing the industry to create new products and address the market need.
If I were to take your examples; range hood is the seatbelt; what this legislation is doing is telling driving “too unsafe; everyone must take train”.

Or too take cigarettes example; ban cigarette sales completely instead of banning smoking indoors.

I hope you see the nuance now.
> Note that there is simply no way for two known parties on the internet to hide the fact that they are communicating with one another from government-corporate managers of the Internet

Not entirely true. I could post a message on a popular forum like HN, where the message contains a hidden message.
sigh, solution is probably additional fireproofing for garbage trucks <== sadly, I'm serious because deterrence is impractical.
I was under the impression that someone did the math a few years back on the US government making long-term/indefinitely-kept recordings of every phone call. Not every phone call for a calendar date, or for a city... but all of them, going forward, forever.

It was deemed expensive, but feasible given current pricing and technology. Especially when the cost would be amortized out over the next 15 or 20 years... it might even fit in a black ops slush fund budget.

Maybe I misunderstand, but the technical challenge has been lost. Only legislative obstacles are now possible, supposing they ever were.
James Mangold talks de-aging Indiana Jones for Dial of Destiny opening sequence
It’s so refreshing to see that written out. This is my reality. For my business, which variously runs email, e-commerce, DNS, and similar for other businesses, our services are mission critical for every customer, and they don’t expect us to touch things we don’t need to touch, or to do things they haven’t asked for specifically.

The idea of deleting code without a _thorough_ review of exactly where, why, and by whom it is used for what, is a non-starter. I wouldn’t think of deleting anything unless it was truly dead, and even then I’d take it offline and archive it so I knew what code touched customer data.

I actually enjoy this stability. I previously worked for a company with tens of millions of end users (at the time, on-prem and cloud solutions) and a code base stretching back for (at the time) almost 15 years. I don’t miss the pressures that came with that.

Edit: typo
... as are casinos.

I don't think it will collapse. It has found product-market fit: mostly gambling, some money laundering and crime, and some legitimate use for international wires and payments under oppressive political conditions (this last part is the smallest amount by volume).

There will occasionally be attempts to pump some new use case (e.g. NFTs), but these are just casino advertising. They'll draw in some new suckers/players and the cycle will repeat.

The maximalist cult will continue to exist as well, patiently awaiting the coming of the space brothers in the form of a massive economic collapse causing Bitcoin to "moon" and become the new global reserve currency. This is identical to the goldbug cult of previous generations and involves many of the same types of people. Apocalyptic cults can exist for a long, long time and failed prophecies do not deter true believers.
I meant on the Bundesbank providing checking accounts. Source on that, why it was ended, et cetera.
They sure were. They bet the farm on HTML5 but ended up having to change their minds when it didn't work.

When I joined FB in 2013 people told me it was a really bad move as they didn't get mobile.
This looks good. The info is a bit outdated though. I hope that the USA will increase its military presence in Eastern Europe.
"Intelligence, uh, finds a way."
> It suggests that everyone subscribing to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is doing so for cloud gaming, which is obviously nuts.

It does not.

It says that Microsoft plans on using extremely popular content to boost their cloud platform. Not even Microsoft is denying that:

> Microsoft submitted that, given the five-year period captured by the LTV, any incremental growth of Game Pass is being captured in the LTV calculation.

And they admit that they will be doing it, so they will capture more cloud gaming market and eventually increase profits:

> On the other hand, CoD’s addition to Game Pass may cannibalise some of the B2P sales of CoD. In its valuation model, Microsoft estimated this cannibalisation to be []%, [].617 The fact that Microsoft is nonetheless adopting this strategy suggests that it expects it to be profitable in the long run. This would also apply to overall revenue from customers switching from PlayStation to Xbox.
Hey everyone, it's the first of the month!

You know the drill, post the info from above, and a cool gig might fall into your lap.
I mean, that would actually be a terrible excuse though, no? The spinning should be expected enough that you go with a radio system/setup that can handle it.

This is a little harsh. Hinton trudged along with neural networks through the coldest AI winter and helped create the conditions for OpenAI to have all the raw ingredients needed to cook up something powerful.
...and then you get what happened in 84-85, a match that lasts 48 games and 159 days.
Doctors don't give a damn about such problems, they think they are first world problems and re-direct you to a shrink.

Also I will go to my grave thinking that male doctors are happy that a guy has probelms with libido, especially if they have daughters.

Female doctors don't want to "unleash more toxic masculinity in the world" so they'll also ignore the problem.

The gymbros and the biohacking bros might not have an academic education, but at least they have some sense of comradery and interest in solving the problem because chances are they are trying to do the same thing (even in reverse for example there are a lot of biohackers who want to lower their libido so they are genuinely interested in the mechanism in order to be in control of their own libido and kick it up a notch or tone it down at will)
> It’s hilariously misguided to look for singular causes and singular fixes for any issue that persists beyond the first few attempts to solve it.

Sorry but that's wrong. If you try to fix an issue by doing useless things, such as attacking TikTok, and then conclude that the problem is not solved because it is "overdetermined and multicausal", you just confused yourself into impotence.
Hahaha. You're GPT3.5 level in my eyes buddy.

This is a solved problem. Sanitation fines the building. Building deals with the problem internally.
I think they’re thinking like this: “it’s dangerous, but it’s better me than anyone else to do it”.
From Elon's description there it sounds like he believes the self-destruct system did immediately activate, but there wasn't enough detonation cord for the resulting explosion to immediately destroy the spacecraft at that altitude. That's where the "40 seconds" number comes from.

He also suggests that re-qualifying the abort (self-destruct) system is the item that will take the most amount of time before they'll be ready for the next launch.
Posting 100% AI generated content should be against the rules. (Outside of exceptions where it is relevant.)

But where should the line be drawn when a user collaborated with an AI on a comment? As an english-as-a-second-language speaker, I've been for years using tools like Grammarly or Hemmingwayapp to improve my writing. I will gladly use a GPT-based proofreader/editor browser plugin eventually, why not?
Setting up your Nvidia environment without suffering
This may be true in other cases, but not here. Hinton literally wrote the paper on backpropagation, the way that modern neural networks are trained. He won the Turing award for a reason.
A family member used to be a professional CSGO player and another family member played Quake at tourneys back in the day.

Your point is moot because only 1% of people play at a high-level, thus chess is at least more interesting than what 99% of CSGO players will experience in terms of strategy. Their ability to react and aim in real-time isn't a consideration either, nor is their access to a pretty decent computer and internet connection to be able to compete effectively.
Its a science fiction trope, perhaps a trope in real life as well. Brilliant scientist gets paid to work on potentially dangerous thing. They know it is potentially dangerous so they warn about it and are reassured over and over again that nothing will be done without their consent, or that things will be done with the utmost care and security. And then scientist finally succeeds in creating the thing and the business owner's greed takes over and releases it in a premature way.
Investors did lose their money. Depositors did not.
This is an an understandable frustration, but I don't think it is a underpinned by a reasonable expectation. In the post internet world, people have come to expect information to be available immediately with minimal effort; to be able to find the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow with a click of a button[1].

I think the most challenging part is the expectation of immediacy and that someone will pre-package the information. If you are fine waiting a year or two, there will likely be books on the topic with extensive information, maybe some FOIAed original reports.

[1] Im guilty of this too. I googled the quote to get it right and was frustrated that the complete text wasn't the first response.
the reason people dump batteries is because doing so the proper way is often onerous. In my parents locale, you have to contact the sanitation department ahead of time, arrange a drop off time, head to the place, provide ID (to confirm you're not from somewhere else?) , etc. A lot easier to just throw it in the trash.
I never mentioned LoL. "Squeaky" is CSGO.
We will have to agree to disagree then.

You have so many choices, including setting up your own business if you don't want to work for others, or living somewhere that is inexpensive and working less.

From my perspective you are just complaining that the universe does not owe you a living.
Is it legal to have private conversations discussing actual plans for acts of terrorism?

I assume you have to pierce some veil of reality, make a purchase, buy a ticket, etc. before it becomes a crime.

My point is if we can make surveillance costly by filling the airwaves with false positives that are just a group of bots plotting a terrorist act? I assume that is legal to do.

Edit - ok, so it definitely seems like this is not clever at all and almost certainly a crime. Don't do this!
To be fair, Von Braun and parts of his team had a huge amount of experience from many years of testing experimental smaller rockets at Peenemünde (the museum is great) and other places.

You can find footage of V-2 test launches where the entire test article comes falling/crashing down into the countryside.

I would also assume that approvals for risky launches or going hard on gear was a bit easier to get during a war time weapons research operation, so they presumably had their cowboy years.
Clean air and water issues are not limited to biological contamination with pathogenic microbes and viruses, and some of the suggestions (ensuring good ventilation) run into problems when external air quality is dangerously bad (when health agencies tell people to keep their windows closed).

It's not entirely unlike water issues, for example the Thames was used to dispose of wastes from animal slaughtering, leather tanning, production of dyes from coal tar, alcohol distillery wastes as well as for human excrement. Cleaning up air quality requires addressing these issues as well (coal power plants, diesel truck emissions, agricultural dust, etc.).
Big companies have to compete with other big companies. What if you lay off your employees in order to make a product with a similar scope as before, but your competitor hires more people and expands the scope of their project significantly?
Private jet sales likely to reach highest ever level this year, report says
The real problem is the bad actors - trolls, mental and financial strip miners, and geopolitical adversaries.

We are just not psychologically adapted or intellectually prepared or availing of a legal framework for the deluge of human-like manipulative, misleading, fraudulent generative fake reality that is about to be unleashed.

Free speech, psychopathic robots, adversaries who want to tear it all down, and gullible humans, are a very bad mix.

Tell HN: Mayday Solidarity
Today is the International Labor Day, where workers around the world lay down work and march in solidarity for better wages, better conditions, and a more fair society. But also to celebrate past labor victories and commemorate our past labor heroes who sometimes sacrificed their lives to give us the working conditions we take for granted today.

Laying down work on May 1st goes back to the late 19th Century USA, where the police executed four labor leaders that were fighting for 8 hour work days, a incident later known as the Haymarket massacre.

HN is primarily a workers forum, where workers in the tech industry celebrate each other’s work. I declare solidarity with my fellow workers here on HN and hope our continued struggle for better wages and conditions allow our industry to keep flourishing and for us workers to bear the fruit of our labor.

Solidarity!
Any AI that is deployed in a way where it makes money (including from ads) becomes a tool of commercial use, and there are lots of currently-used licences that deal with commercial use.
The Western appetite for convenience is at all time highs. QSR growth is in the double digits YoY largely driven by app prevalence w.r.t. rewards and loyalty and delivery services. There was a slight downturn after re-opening from COVID, but it is back up to nominal levels.
Just don't buy a Chromecast 4K, it is a regular Android, with ads, capped (no NTFS support, no native file picker) so regular apps don't work.

I am regretting having bought it.
I agree but the alternative is the the end of HN + the end of the rest of the open internet in a year or five.

When you soon will only meet bots that are trying to manipulate you or sell you something - the value for everyone goes to zero pretty quickly.

I'm not sure how this will be solved besides most people ditching the open internet and 100% engaging in tiny groups of people they already know the mental capacities of.

Christ, this really is the end of the "social internet" where you could find inspiration and new perspectives isn't it?
And yet when you see a professional boxing match, both boxers' win rate is usually above 90%, not 50%.
Not the parent poster, but I'm assuming "actually gratis" means "free as in beer" (doesn't cost money, presumably with no data harvesting) while "libre" means "free as in speech" (open source license of some kind).

Hashcat v6.2.6 benchmark on the Nvidia RTX 4090
I finished in-the-money in the Open in 1982, which hooked me a bit, and I also later played in the World Open and finished in-the-money in the New York open.

For NY, had to live in Manhattan for two weeks, play 6 days, one day off, then 6 more days, several hours each day. I wouldn't have been able to remotely afford it, but my cousin was out of town for two weeks, and let me stay at her place. Taking two weeks off for an open Chess tournament seems insane to today's player's brought up on blitz, rapid, bullet and hyper-bullet (which I confess I enjoy a lot myself).
Bitcoin will be the poor man's inflation hedge. Eventually others will wake up- see bhutan quietly mining it, and even family and private wealth offices (traditionally very conservative investors) are buying it.
