> And torts (again, IIUC) are not the breaking of a legal code

Torts are (in the US, other jurisdictions may differ) either statutory torts, which break a particular, legislatively adopted code, or breaches of the common law and, as such, illegal just as crimes under the common law are in those jurisdictions which (unlike the federal system) continue to recognize common law crimes.

Both are illegal.

Though this is also somewhat tangential since as well as being wrong about the nature of torts such that your “torts are not illegal” argument is founded on faulty assumptions, you are also wrong in that, while contracts are, like torts, civil, breach of contract is not a tort.

> Something illegal is dealt with in a criminal court

No, something criminal is dealt with in criminal court. Illegal is a superset of criminal.

> Civil torts are not contained within any legal code

The United States Code has 54 “titles”. Crimes and criminal procedure are Title 18. What do you think most violations of the other 53 titles are? Largely (but not entirely) statutory torts.

Similarly, what do you think most violations of the 28 California Codes that aren’t the Penal Code are? Especially the Civil Code? Again largely, but not entirely, torts (the Commercial Code, relevant to this conversation, also significantly deals with contracts.)

> But breach of contract by itself is just breaking the rules agreed upon by the parties to a contract.

Breach of contract — the thing actionable in court — is breaking the rules in law as to when compliance with rules agreed to between parties are compulsory. That’s what makes it actionable.
> Cryptographic verification is intentionally compute heavy after all

You're thinking of password hashing functions like argon2, there's no reason for normal signing and verification operations to be intentionally expensive as that's not where the security guarantees come from.

It's a very fast moving target. Apple keeps rewriting and deprecating stuff faster than they can write the documentation. As a newcomer to native macOS development, I'm sometimes struggling to even find working examples.
This makes a big difference in usability, before loading a big project was almost in the "coffee time" category, now it's more "wait a few seconds". It helps a lot to make the tool feel more responsive.
Its not about teaching kids that plants have feelings.

Its about teaching kids that they have feelings. Saying thank-you to a plant may not benefit the plant much, but it does improve the mood and tone of the individual saying it.

Being thankful for things actually helps with mental health. If you can't be thankful, even to the trivial little life forms that provide you with food and comfort, you've got a thankfulness imbalance that no amount of chemical consumption is going to help you fix...
The flip side to this is that Julia is a great general purpose engineering calculator and simulator. For example, calculating friction in hvac ductwork, voltage drop in long electrical circuits, solar gains for windows or solar panels facing various directions, cost/benefit analyses of thicker or thinner roof insulation and so on... these are all 1 to 10 lines of code so there isn't a big porting cost in moving to Julia and in exchange you get a fast, ergonomic and sane language with universal support for physical units [1] and unicode variable names [2] so things are much less verbose than they would be in, say, Python.

In the past I used Calca [3] for these kinds of things, and there are many of these "fancy calculator apps" around, but it's just so much nicer to work in a real programming language.

That’s true, but I was wary of running what would essentially be an open TCP relay. Also, I don’t currently bundle a comprehensive set of root certs in subtls, nor support all ciphers or signing methods.

There are projects like Phonon from GridPlus which use industry standard hardware to enable secure, private, offline trading of units of crypto. This is effectively digital cash. https://docs.phonon.org/readme

The need for untraceable and physically usable money is a top priority for cypherpunks and we are doing pretty well on that front.
No it isn't. S-expressions are the simplest serialisation or trees. Trees are the simplest grammar that can encode mathematical expressions. C++ by comparison is as usable as doing cube roots using roman numerals.

Yeah, I wish they hadn't clobbered the name of an existing, well-known protocol. It's still used in drivers for cellular modems (I'm working with it right now), which are getting more and more numerous for IoT applications.
Sure you can.

The problem with ads is that the ad-pushers basically forced people to use adblockers. In the early days, people put up with a few ads here and there as the cost of seeing stuff for free, plus ad-blockers didn't exist yet. But then the ad-pushers kept making the experience worse and worse, and the ads more and more intrusive and obnoxious. People invented ad-blockers, and as the ads got even worse (and even dangerous: many were laden with viruses), more and more people turned to ad-blockers, even if before they were ambivalent or even wanted to support the advertising model.

This story is as old as the WWW. It's the same thing now. YouTube ads weren't that bad before, but as several comments here have noted, they're getting worse and worse. So before, only die-hard ad-haters would employ ad-blockers, but now the advertisers are pushing more people to use them.
Interesting idea. However, wedding is a difficult business to get into, as you are not likely to get repeated customers for your system. The lack of customer retention means that the app/brand you build up will perpetually be on the difficult climb of getting new customers all the time.

Why not cast a wider web to services that have a bigger customer base? There are still need for other types of event organisation. Engage with clubs or professional event organisers, to understand what is their pain point and see if a solution can be made to solve them.
My Mid 2014, 15" Macbook Pro has both Intel and Nvidia.

Chipset Model: Intel Iris Pro

Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M

This Macbook pro was a free upgrade from Apple after I'd had 3 mainboard replacements because they'd had faulty GPU's on my 2011 MBP ( see https://web.archive.org/web/20170119031155/https://people.ca... for background) - Basically after I found out what was going on I took my 'repaired' machine home and stress tested it until it failed. After the very quick repeated failures Apple decided to replace my machine completely.
Both are true. Package images and the use of PrecompileTools makes packages load slightly slower, because there is more data to load, namely all the precompiled machine code. It's still faster to load than to compile, so the gains in TTFX (i.e. compilation) outweighs the gains in TTL (i.e. loading).

For 1.9, code loading has also been optimised, such that code loading is in many cases faster in 1.9 than in 1.7. However, this is an optimisation that is separate from the improvements to precompilation. The developers are currently working on even more TTL optimisations, so I expect that TTL will be significantly reduced in Julia 1.10, but for now, it's nice to see that TTL optimisations present in 1.9 has counteracted the increasing load times from package images.

Do you really think we got the current pile of junk because consumers demanded it?

I don't think so.

OS Vendors simply forgot that they service end users, and instead decided to service their marketing overlords. End users put up with it, because what choice do they have?
The Hayes AT command set is still the primary way to talk to embedded modems. I would argue quite a few people outside of HN care about it to this day while very few people outside of HN know or would care about the AT Protocol.
I really don't feel that there is magic in PyTorch or jax, but that may be because I have written my own autograd libs.

In PyTorch you have a graph that is created on runtime by connecting the operations together in a transparent manner.

Jax may feel a bit magic, but all that's done is sending / splitting tracers and recording the operations and compiling; by limiting the language, you have controlled branching with the proper semantics.

---

The main reason I have had such with Julia is simply because of how early / soon I ended up needing to use them whereas with the other languages, you can get away without getting into the very messed up things.
> That's not true, they do so fully intentionally. [...] Why are you not fighting against this monstrous horror?

Nobody goes to an IVF clinic intent to kill babies. Everyone goes to an abortion clinic explicitly to kill babies. IVF could be attempted one life at a time. What you're describing is a cost-cutting measure, a technical implementation detail of the clinic, and who said I'm not fighting against it?

> Why does it matter that it's in the pursuit of life?

Killing in the pursuit of life is less worse than killing in the pursuit of death.
I read through the article but am not sure what the disagreement is. It has something to do with shorter periods to write a show and shows not being syndicated but didn’t cover what writers would like.

Googling the topic is a slog and I struggle reading through articles that say that streaming is the reason [0] but not much of really why. It seems like streaming has shorter seasons and fewer writers but that’s because it does have shorter seasons and makes do with fewer writers. If I only have 10 episodes instead of 20 and have fewer writers then that means paying less writers because I don’t need as many. Writers get a minimum of $4500/week, but from these articles I guess they want a higher base weekly pay to make up for working fewer weeks per year.

Overall it’s surprising to me that writing isn’t all just freelance as I had assumed from reading about book and magazine and movie writers that it was all by the job and sort of freelance.

Mostly, this is just a complaint about it being hard to understand an issue when I hoped the internet would make it easier to understand everything. As always, it’s the users.

unless you are Russian, they have no problem at all as we can see every day (I realize common folks are a bit different from the news image, but any news I hear from within Russia these days just confirms what I stated, and then you have those hundreds of thousands who voluntarily went to Ukraine to kill and steal)

> To analyze your heap snapshot, open a Chromium browser and follow these steps: right click -> inspect -> memory -> load. Upload your .heapsnapshot file, and a new tab will appear on the left side to display your snapshot's details.

Can the same be done with Firefox's `about:memory`'s `Load...` button, or is it Chromium specific?

Being far too broad and shallow in life is just as bad, if not worse.

In the worst case, the depth-first life leaves a person mostly useless except for at least one deep skill, but the breadth-first life in the worst case can leave a person completely useless since no skills have been developed past an arbitrarily superficial level.

These are, of course the extreme ends where life has been well wasted. :)
Sequential IO is not dead for the simple reason that it is the simplest way of solving many problems. Often it will be good enough.
>If that's the definition, then that doesn't sound evil to me. It doesn't sound like informed consent is impossible.

It's impossible because the risks are largely unknown, so there's nothing much to be informed about. Anyone who wants to take on such unknown and potentially enormous risks is probably acting irrationallty, and it's unethical to exploit such people.

But this is where we get to the "written in blood part". The history of medicine is full of cases of people being horribly exploited in early stage testing. That's why we have the rules. Not because of abstract arguments about informed consent, but because we've seen what happens if we don't. It's all very well to imagine people giving informed consent to this sort of testing and imagine scientists acting responsibly and ethically in this sort of scenario; but we know that this isn't actually what happens.

>What's the thing similar to murder that is allowed? The equivalent of "FDA approved middle-stage testing"? Otherwise this analogy falls apart half-constructed.

The point of the analogy is simply to show that "the rules ban X" doesn't entail "the meaning of 'X' is defined by the rules". So e.g. if someone says "I don't fish in this lake because the rules ban it", that doesn't mean that they take the verb 'fish' to be defined by the rules in question. The same goes for FDA rules and 'early stage testing on humans'.
Exactly. Actually it would be a giant differentiator to everything else.
So when Google locks someone’s account, it’s never because their automated systems are being overzealous or misinterpreted data, but because Google is choosing to be deliberately evil towards that person?

If the cashier at the supermarket rings up something wrong, do they have something against you specifically?

In my case with Flutter framework, I buy cheap MS Windows or Linux box and the build children are Minis even an Apple mini. I have not priced it out yet, but I expect it to be cheaper in the long-run than buying time on cloud testing lab set ups.
I have noticed HN threads being increasingly monopolised by cranks obsessing about some "privacy" aspect of the posted story. Recently there was the thread about unlocking Pixel phones. In this case (IMO) excessive freaking out about software checking for updates - a useful and unremarkable behaviour. It's becoming tedious.
interesting: "All actions that an individual takes, both online and offline, generate value not only for themselves but for the entire society and for this reason, they must be rewarded. In this way, a virtuous system is created in which every action taken by the individual is capable of generating a profit, which is recognized through the use of an artificial intelligence system provided by Weeiam."

That said, as a relatively new runner I'm really undecided whether to train for a full marathon. For context: I'm 38; I began running about less than 2 years ago. In the last 12 months, I ran 3 half marathons. I run 3-4 times a week. A month-ish ago I accomplished my "Cracking 2" project[1] of running a half-m in just under 2 hours (1hr59m) in non-stop rain of 7C.

I feel like 2 hours of running is the "sweet spot" that allows you to train for other aspects like resistance, etc while letting you to maintain the fitness for the long term. Still, I feel a slight pull to train for the full marathon. (But the unhealthy-looking thinness of marathon and longer distance runners is not inspiring.) For now, I'll just enjoy the half-marathons until I can thoroughly convince myself that training for a full marathon is "worth it". There's so many variables that I can improve on the half-m distance, and still keep it exciting.

Hi, I feel you. I live in a south east asia country. we had very limited interent a decade ago and it was barely usable. Because I came back from America, it took me a long time to get used limited interent. What I did back then was to download as many useful resources as possible when i had good interent at office and used it offline when i was on slow mobile or home interent. stackoverflow, lauange documentation, libraries , wikipedia etc. Hope it gets better for you at Sudan. best of luck. You can also download useful learning videos for offline viewing too.
When someone disagree's with your point of view, you are thus a victim?

I think I see the problem here.
It's unfortunately not legal. Makes it also not commercially viable. Cross-compiling is nice, but if the build toolchain requires xcode, then it doesn't help all that much, since the last and most important step has to be done on apple hardware.
And this is why I don't want to buy any Apple device. It seems that it's all or nothing for them. If you have a mix of apple and non-apple devices then you'll have all sorts of compatibility problems.
Agree. This is why WWDC videos can be immensely useful to get inside information about how things actually work and the shape of things to come.

You monster!
For past two decades, this news shows up every year as if some new ground breaking discovery is made. We have seen no impact of any kind so far. It seems some research group releases this to media whenever they are due to apply for funding.
The biggest threat to Linux, BSD and other alternative operating systems is that there will be no hardware available to run it on if all hardware will be specialized to closed down systems, and this is not only for motherboards but also memory, storage, video cards as well.

If number of potential users of alternative operating system is less than 1 percent, then that hardware will never be produced.
Seems like high blood pressure is correlated with a lot of unhealthy behavior. So I would speculate someone with only high blood pressure but a normal weight and lifestyle is not going to live decades less than normal. Not a doctor so I may be off base.
> Everything you quoted makes it sound like an overtly anti-freedom power grab meant to meet a minimum of resistance, and implemented specifically to control protestors at an event that was planned for months.

I agree that that is the government's intention. I'm not sure the police are that smart.

> I'm not sure what you're trying to say with "I'm not a supporter of the current government BUT" - it seems like the quote explains perfectly how bad it is.

In pointing to a commentary that hypothesises that the rapid introduction of the legal powers may partly explain the police's heavy-handed behaviour, I'm not trying to excuse either the govt or the police. The may be multiple factors at work here: government authoritarianism, police complicity with that authoritarianism, and also police confusion.
They indeed work in academia!
200ms is not "very far apart". I routinely use it on 350-450ms connections with no issues — it easily saturates my 500 Mbps link.

Although in your case I would probably use ZFS snapshots through syncoid, they'd be much more efficient than anything else.
We actually know so little about human cognition that that assumption seems wildly naive to me.

Having said that, I assume that at some point in the future AI's problem-solving abilities will surpass those of humans. But there's still other issues to reckon with even then.

I think we should all be much more worried about what humans will do in response to AI than AI itself. Framing this all in terms of AI rather than AI-related policy distracts from the real issues in my opinion. I'm not worried about AI, I'm worried about people: what people will do with it and what rationalizations they will have for how they treat other people as a consequence.
>Firstly, a lot of the things advanced by them are simply not scalable to the entire human race.

It's scalable to a large proportion of it especially in the west and other such areas with a fitting climate and should probably be incentivized tbh.
One could say the same about lawns. Which were initially thing of the ultra few who could signal they could both afford to leave land unproductive and employ people to maintain it. Now there's a stupid amount of it.

And yes this type of agriculture requires a lot of extra labour which is often understated that I'll agree on.

>It's not even clear to me that "Big Age" is even a bad thing, seeing that their massive economies of scale allow them to produce more for less(money, environmental impact) than smaller farmers.

It's environmental impact is ridiculous I don't see how this is even debatable.
Insect populations in many places have plummeted, topsoil is being eroded, etc.

It does indeed make more sense financially and by a good amount but a large part of that is due to cheap plentiful fertilizers a big share of which comes from fossil fuels and deposits in Morocco and the like that will at some point run out and/or get a lot more expensive to get. We could stretch these resources so so much if we were more efficient about using them by dropping/adopting some practices but we do not because it does not make financial sense to do so right now.
Similar for irrigation issues in many areas.

The moment this inflow of fertilizer starts to end food becomes a lot more expensive, large scale tillage agriculture becomes more difficult and more labour intensive practices common in the permaculture community start making more sense imo. You can't keep going without such fertilizer inputs on soils that are ecologically near dead due to tillage, pest/herbicicides, etc

We can reduce our land use, amount of packaging materials and impact on the environment.
We don't need to be dogmatic about it either since there's a wide open middle ground between what we do now and some kind of 0 impact, 0 pesticides, etc vision.
There are PyCall.jl and RCall.jl. Stay in Julia and use other libraries in addition.
We also use flutter, and have extensive native code that needs to be compiled for each platform/abi. What you describe is similar to the setup we used. However, more and more developers have opted to get a MacBook in order to avoid the hassle. It might make sense to just have a dedicated mac computer running a gitlab worker that builds the iOS stuff for us.
In this hypothetical minimalist Twitter clone in the 2009 spirit, images are elsewhere. We have a widely used hypertext protocol that lets you reference media objects from anywhere, so let’s use that. Client apps can individually solve the image upload usability question in ways that fit their user base.

Yes, there will be broken links. But IMO that’s better than having all your data in one centralized location where it can eventually be taken over by private equity looking to make a buck, or a billionaire who wants to be a media mogul.

Edit: Looking back at historical Twitter news, it’s clear that in 2010 their vision was still to have images embedded from other sites. Here’s a relevant TechCrunch article:

https://techcrunch.com/2010/09/14/new-twitter-tips/

Note how they added display support for embedded Flickr photo set links. Your pictures could be on the dedicated photo service and you’d still get the nice set browsing UI inside Twitter. They should have stuck with this and built a protocol that lets sites interoperate on things like “here’s a set of photos to be embedded” (so you could use something else than Flickr). But instead they wanted to chase the wannabe-Facebook dream of sucking everything into their servers and using a closed client to sell inline ads.
