> Is it just me or are a lot of software related questions going to these 9 people who “are not like the nine greatest experts on the internet”, according to Justice Kagan?

We have an adversarial court system and they don’t need to know software to know the law. It is the jobs of the attorneys to properly educate the Justices in their briefs, filings and oral arguments on the facts of the case and how they think the law should be read in their favor; and the Court watches what goes on in the Appellate and District courts to gauge what issues they will be dealing with. Lastly while the Justices themselves might have left school decades ago, they regularly rotate through clerks bringing fresh opinions and perspectives into the Courthouse.

What’s important is what the law says and the way it should be read, and that’s going to be inconvenient for someone but typically any perceived defects in the law lay squarely at Congress’s feet.

The point is that e.g. many programs written using Go are not like that.

They should support IPv6 out of the box though.
It's a powerful and versatile painting program, developed by a dedicated team of professionals and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to make it an excellent tool for digital artists. The software offers a wide range of features, including an intuitive user interface, advanced brush engines, and robust layering capabilities. These strengths are what truly set Krita apart and should be the primary focus when promoting it.

This is table stakes for a paint program. Right now all versions of Manga Studio/Clip Studio are $25. Possibly more for the super deluxe version, I'm not sure if it's just currently also $25 or permanently $25. Procreate is $12. ArtRage is $5-80. All of these tools have an "intuitive user interface, advanced brush engines, and robust layering capabilities". All are developed by dedicated teams of pros who have been working to make them excellent tools for digital artists for many years.

Krita is available for free; Krita is partially built by volunteers. These are the only parts of the paragraph I quoted that do not apply to the other tools I cited. There's lots more tools in this space, too; I just listed a few things I see a lot of my pro artist friends using.

It's very hard to take this essay seriously. Mostly because it so completely dances around the obvious purpose of a "superstore" that it is hard to connect this described experience much at all to what people actually do in such a store.

This essay kind of describes this sort of store as one would describe a walk through the woods. But the purpose of a walk in the woods is so distinct from the purpose of shopping that no comparison can be made.
Windows 10+ has a native 464XLAT implementation for use with cellular networks as well.

>We are legally required to use it to relax and restore our capacity for future work.

Well that's an interesting bit of trivia. Can you share anything more about it? Just for my own amusement and the amusement of people I will relate it to in the future, I would love to read whatever dry legal code sets that in writing.
This is an interesting idea — there could be a sabbatical accrual of sorts.

One way this could realistically work today (with a lot of kicking and screaming about how it’ll ruin the economy) is each year of work earns a month of sabbatical, and once you’ve earned at least 2 months you can exercise your sabbatical rights, given some notice.

Companies could cap it at 6 months at a time so you don’t completely lose track of changes at work.

We could even make up to 2 months transferable between companies, and if you’re ever fired you can choose how or if you’d like to be paid out. That would help discourage retaliation against using the time, in addition to making it illegal.

I don’t see a reason that we couldn’t pass a law tomorrow that does this. Sure the economy would slow a bit, but what a giant quality-of-life gain it would be. And maybe it would actually make the economy grow faster in the long term if it encourages more private innovation.

But we already accept this idea for parental leave, this would be the same thing without the need for having a baby.
I'll have to check my local one, online it says they do accept cellphone and rechargeable batteries. I'm not sure how they feel about batteries still contained with-in a vape. Local medical cannabis dispensary had zero leads when I asked about a recycle program for disposable THC vapes they sell that aren't able to be separated from their batteries.
I was surprised to find my airfare go up about 70% for a one way ticket from Mexico City -> NYC, after I submitted payment on the checkout page w/ American Airlines. It was the weirdest thing, payment was blocked and the checkout page refreshed with the updated fare and a note about regional differences related to payment, assuming because of the US address linked to the CC.
I worked at a crap restaurant when I was in H.S. and ... I actually really liked it. The people (who were all over the map - crazy, sane, fun, boring, good, bad - just everything ), the work (which was that tedious physicality that you can just do totally spaced out) and everything that went with it. It didn't have the same kind of sanctification as the work I do now but it also lacked the level of frustration I get now.

Note that unlike flippinburgers I was working in the back - way back.

"Travel" shouldn't be considered a special risk. I had my laptop stolen on a San Francisco BART train.

It is possible to set up Apple devices so they're bricks in anyone else's hands. If you're not satisfied with your level of security for travel, why are you comfortable taking your device out of a locked safe?
Wow, does anyone have the stats over time? Is this a recent thing, or has it been historically high? Is there some other factor that is driving this? Like you live together for 50 years as a married couple, but then you get divorced when one partner gets terminal cancer, so that you can get better government benefits or something?
I'm sure other western countries have costs increase during peak travel seasons and their children have limited time off school.

The reason people in the US are less traveled is because you essentially have to cross an ocean to go anywhere. Some people like to go to Canada, but that is pretty similar to the US. Most of the people that I know that go to Mexico stay at resorts for safety concerns.

Edit: I would assume the median number of times an individual has crossed an ocean is still 0. Even for citizens of rich countries. I don't think this number is going to change with the current technology branch being developed by Boeing and Airbus. Maybe in a century Hyper loop, Electric Airplanes, Space Elevators, or trains on floating bridges will have advanced enough to change this to 1 or 2. Maybe a seemingly low-tech solution like Zeplins or Boats can be done fast enough, cheap enough and safe enough for broad appeal.
Krita is freaking amazing and I use it every day.
It's fascinating how the ideology of Marxism–Leninism (Communism) today is more popular than ever among young people in former capitalist heartlands like the US, Canada and UK.

A simple European-style welfare state with universal healthcare is all you need to satisfy 90% of people but the elites in the US and the UK refuse to provide that.
I think the crux of the issue here is that the recommendation algorithm isn't built to say "find ISIS material and promote it". It says "find content that will generate more engagement for this user". Reddit is in a similar situation -- it promotes what other people upvote. Some submissions will be removed due to their specific content, but nothing is promoted because of it.

This is where Twitter could get into hot water -- if the code that was released is accurate, they were specifically promoting tweets by certain people and with certain content. They can't claim "it's just the algorithm" because their algorithm is intentionally biased based on the content itself.

> People famously have the political systems that they deserve.

This sentiment is widely expressed, but it seems absurd and offensive to me. Citizens of countries such as Finland, Switzerland and Singapore enjoy much superior quality of government to what we have in the US. Does that mean Americans are ethically or intellectually inferior to Finns, Swiss, and Singaporeans? The government of Pakistan is not very good: does that mean Pakistanis are less ethical or intelligent?

Technically this is correct: the solution to absurdly expensive housing costs is more housing. I just don’t see how ten 400sqft apartments being rented at “below market rate” does much to help more than … 10 people? If the problem is “housing is too expensive” you need to build enough housing to bring down the “market rate”.

It also doesn’t resolve the other issue: teachers are underpaid, frequently then have to use their own money to buy equipment for the school, and then get shit on and blamed by shitty parents that refuse responsibility for their kid’s behavior.

Rough is a common antonym to well built.

You're arguing for "how great it was a million years go". And I can place a good bet, that you had zero experience with woodworking... let alone green woodworking.
There are other angles.

NVIDIA likes it because it could justify higher prices for graphics cards. Suppose somebody plays 2 hours a game a day and they can justify an $1800 graphics card for that. (Over 3 years it's about $1 an hour, I'd compare that to about $0.45 an hour for the cheapest Azure instance with a less capable GPU)

22 hours a day the card is doing nothing, if other people were gaming on it and it were training neural network models the rest of the time the card could be worth $21,600. It's a throwback to IBM mainframes at the worst but NVIDIA could easily conclude it can't afford to sell 40-series cards to gamers.
Sounds excessive. Probably the only country I would bring burner devices to would be China. Even that idk, I'd have to research and make sure I'm not just a victim of media fear mongering.

Who's the target audience for this article? I've been to I think 16 countries, I think i only talked to a cop once, that was at a traffic check point.
> Why doesn’t Reddit allow users of the API to log in via OAuth

It does:
https://github.com/QuantumBadger/RedReader/blob/v1.20/src/ma... but the OAuth client-id is issued to RedReader, meaning that when QuantumBadger's api access gets nuked, there goes RedReader

The alternative is for every single user to register as a developer to get their own OAuth2 client-id, or if Reddit switches to some kind of API token (thus collapsing the distinction between an _application_ and the _user authed through it_)
Is the data correct?

Did the Soviet government actually follow the Constitution of The USSR? I believe it also mentioned freedom of expression, freedom of religion and freedom of assembly, all of which seemed to be ignored.
I don't disagree. But for me, their mistake wasn't in the algorithms or their approach or anything like that.

The problem has always been, and now will likely always be, the hardware. I've written about this at length in my previous comments, but a split happened in the mid-late 1990s with the arrival of video cards like the Voodoo that set alternative computation like AI back decades.

At the time, GPUs sounded like a great way to bypass the stagnation of CPUs and memory busses which ran at pathetic speeds like 33 MHz. And even today, GPUs can be thousands of times faster than CPUs. The tradeoff is their lack of general-purpose programmability and how the user is forced to deal with manually moving buffers in and out of GPU memory space. For those reasons alone, I'm out.

What we really needed was something like the 3D chip from the Terminator II movie, where a large array of simple CPUs (possibly even lacking a cache) perform ordinary desktop computing with local memories connected into something like a single large content-addressable memory.

Yes those can be tricky to program, but modern Lisp and Haskell-style functional languages and even bare-hands languages like Rust that enforce manual memory management can do it. And Docker takes away much of the complexity of orchestrating distributed processes.

Anyway, what's going to happen now is that companies will pour billions (trillions?) of dollars into dedicated AI processors that use stuff like TensorFlow to run neural nets. Which is fine. But nobody will make the general-purpose transputers and MIMD (multiple instruction multiple data) under-$1000 chips like I've talked about. Had that architecture kept up with Moore's law, 1000 core chips would have been standard in 2010, and we'd have chips approaching 1 million cores today. Then children using toy languages would be able to try alternatives like genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, etc etc etc with one-liners and explore new models of computation. Sadly, my belief now is that will never happen.

But hey, I'm always wrong about everything. RISC-V might be able to do it, and a few others. And we're coming out of the proprietary/privatization malaise of the last 20-40 years since the pandemic revealed just how fragile our system of colonial-exploitation-powered supply chains really is. A little democratization of AI on commoditized GPUs could spur these older/simpler designs that were suppressed to protect the profits of today's major players. So new developments more than 5-10 years out can't be predicted anymore, which is a really good thing. I haven't felt this inspired by not knowing what's going to happen since the Dot Bomb when I lost that feeling.
> Huh. Is that not common vernacular where you're from?

I don’t know about the parent commenter, but I am of the opinion that regardless of how common an abbreviation is, it should always be expanded, unless the circumstances prevent you from doing that. Here, in Hacker News, submissions must have a title with maximum 80 characters, but look at this:

30 characters -> Workers of the World, Take PTO
46 characters -> Workers of the World, Take Paid Time Off (PTO)

I can only speculate why the original poster decided to use the abbreviation alone.

Wouldn’t you prefer to err on the side of caution and expand abbreviations whenever possible? Particularly in contexts where the audience may not be familiar with the abbreviation or where clarity is particularly important. I believe that expanding abbreviations is a simple but effective way to demonstrate inclusiveness and promote greater understanding and participation in communication, especially in multicultural contexts, like Hacker News, where different people have different levels of familiarity with certain terms.
OP’s example of his wedding ring is absolutely not case in point; the value of his ring is it’s weight in gold.

Whatever _sentimental value_ he may hold for his ring has no bearing on any rational actors choice to buy the ring.

Apple, Microsoft, Walmart and, gee, I don’t know, any of the other F500 corporations don’t make it there because “they fail to value their products and services”.

They pay real people, real wages, to produce real things, that are sold further down the supply chain. These aren’t imaginary objects and figures.
