This feels like (yet another) extension of copyright. Whilst I'm not sure I completely disagree with you, I want people to acknowledge that copyright is not the natural state of the universe. Prior to (I think) 1790 there was no copyright and human beings managed minor things like, you know, the renaissance and stuff like that.

Copyright was invented and enforced and the results have been a mixed bag. It seems to suffer from a ratchet effect where the law only ever increases the scope to which copyright applies and never decreases it.

However intuitive your sense of your moral rights are, it's about the net benefit to society and we should be very careful what we wish for.
UK courts work very differently.

> PS5 level performance on a mobile device

PS5-level performance on a six year old mobile device, no less. It's showing its age now, but it's still a fun little device and has a few absolute bangers. BotW and Super Mario Odyssey alone are nearly worth picking one up.
TC39 Proposal: Types as Comments
> The effect is going to be that all the innovation happens elsewhere, big AI companies will develop outside Europe.

Why though?

Like, most of the requirements listed in the AI act seem extremely reasonable and low-overhead, if not seriously meek. Given the immense budgets AI labs can call upon, why would "having to fill a form that says you made sure the AI wasn't racist" be a disqualifying factor?
Same for GDPR.

Not a surprise all big tech is in US. If EU wants to play this card, US will get even stronger at keeping tech talent.

(I reside neither in the US or EU)
That's an interesting hybrid approach, thanks Andrea.

Is this what Svelte will use? (Asking anybody that knows, of course.)

Anyway, to me the main problem in using TS with libraries is that we have 3-4 major releases per year, and they're just too many. Unless one takes a very restrained approach, releasing very generic (and thus less helpful) types that won't (presumably) break future (or past) versions of TypeScript, we need to release with `typesVersions` targetting n different versions of TypeScript. That's an ever-growing bother indeed for maintainers as time passes.

And I fear the hybrid approach above won't escape this issue. So using "pure" JSDoc or JSDoc with just a sprinkle of TypeScript actually makes sense... But I'd expect this workflow to be winning with smaller projects, and that's why this announcement for Svelte has been surprising to me.
According to terms and conditions. Ip is not information, it’s work. Pay for it or dont use it. I decide the terms of my own output not you, and certainly not a corporation that resells it and threatens me with unemployment.
Yes, they work better used together, but except for a few specific types of pain (e.g. dental) they are far inferior to opioids.
I don't have any recent first hand experience with Adderall use, are we honestly at a point where those taking it are treated as crack addicts?

My understanding has always been that plenty of people use it, and if anything that is over prescribed. What exactly have you seen that's so bad it's being treated similar to a schedule 2 narcotic?
If MS really wanted to make the app better you could stop drawing active elements in the Title bar.

Title bar should have window controls on the right (like the ones you copied from NeXT), and because you're windows, the app icon on the left. Centre justified there should be the application name.

And that's all thank you.
It looks like the only illegal thing he did was cover up what he did. Is there another charge?
> Why? Will it make the games more fun to play?

I played Zelda: Breath of the wild through on switch. It was one of the launch titles, and it was fantastic. The slow loading times were the #1 complaint I had about the game. They really broke the immersive experience. Whenever I died, teleported between zones or entered & left shrines the loading time was long enough that I fell briefly out of the zone while playing.

I assume loading times haven't gotten any better for Tears of the kingdom, given the hardware hasn't changed. I'd probably buy the new zelda game instantly but when I think back to breath of the wild, my strongest visual memory is that black and red loading screen.
Australia will 100% not be swapping. There is zero debate about this, there is zero will and there are far more pressing issues to deal with than adding this significant cultural change.

And I have no idea why Japan changing would be the catalyst.
Yeah, like food safety regulations, other places still won't abide. It's not like "other places still will allow abuse of their citizens" is a great argument for us to as well.

Safety regulations exist in every major industry, and sometimes it slows some progress for the sake of individuals. This isn't a bad thing.
The EU is happy to deal with Erdogan. Well, maybe not happy, but willing. The only thing that puts Putin into a category of his own is the Ukraine war. Before that happened, pulling Russia closer to the EU and maybe making them a bit more moderate over the decades was the strategy. Compared anything that happened before and after, the USSR with its hostility towards the rest of Europe was an outlier, just an outlier that Putin seems to be fond of. Now it looks like we have to wait for Putin to leave his position to get back to good relations.
This is maybe one of the most insane things one could say despite being in full sanity.
This makes complete sense to me. Amazing that a company is getting criticism for not making a product available. One thing I’ve learned from HN over the years is that people are going to be mad and criticize you regardless of what you do, so just do what you want anyway and ignore the criticism.

I really don’t like the way a lot of big corporations are handling things recently (especially with regard to layoffs and RTO), but I’m also not surprised that overly critical feedback by anonymous commenters on HN has little effect on changing people’s minds.
The AirPods location as shown on the map is not the actual location, it is the location of the phone that last reported “hearing” the signal from the AirPods.

When you are close to them and connected to them, the map will show your own location not the AirPods.

This explains why the AirPods tracked the authors own location at times. Possibly also why the map showed the boys location. He was using Bluetooth so his phone was actively listening, and actively connected to the internet and due to this, the boys iPhone was quick to post it’s location when it heard the authors AirPods. Where as other people in the museum was not using their iPhones so their phones would not be actively listening or if they where would not upload the position in real-time.
> It's 2023, how do you choose between MySQL and Postgres?

Easy, you pick Postgres. There's no reason to ever use MySQL.
The internet was already ruined by scummy companies overloading their websites with trackers. The EU just forced them to be transparent.
I like the LearnXinYminutes series to get the hang of a new language. It's sussinct and usually covers the main aspects of the language -- at least sufficient for you to decide if it's interesting enough to spend more time on...

It is a very valid strategy. If you do not have all the controls in place to comply with the burdensome requirements of the EU law (if that's the case), then why should you stop from releasing the service in other markets that do not impose such requirements?
A lot of comments here have a sense of entitlement that does not make too much sense to me, especially towards a private company doing a first release of a product. (PS: I live in the EU as well)
The answer is that OpenAI has a lot less revenue on the line, so they're more willing to take risks in legal grey areas.
> The losses that individual property owners can realize might be devastating, but evidence I've seen so far suggests that these sorts of events don't have much of an effect on bank performance. That may be in part attributable to banks and other investors effectively pricing physical risks from climate change into loan contracts.

Ah ok. Easy.

> What about transition risks? Transition risks are generally neither near-term nor likely to be material given their slow-moving nature and the ability of economic agents to price transition costs into contracts.

We got to fix things in a huge way before 2035 or so. Is that slow moving ?

I'm kind of happy with this pithy summary - plucked from the internet just now - of the definition of, and differences between, rationalism and empiricism:

"rationalism is the knowledge that is derived from reason and logic while on the other hand empiricism is the knowledge that is derived from experience and experimentation."

In any case, empiricism is all about evidence based, typically via experimentation, so I'm still confused how you'd go about proving something unprovable (and almost certainly non-existent) by evidence and experiment.

I think if you could demonstrate evidence of the supernatural, it wouldn't be supernatural.

What empirical observations about life lead you to want to believe that life was designed by a superior intelligence?

Is it the eye? (I note that ~60% of the population need glasses.) Is it smallpox, malaria, Leigh syndrome, etc? These don't feel like the result of an especially sophisticated intelligence. Is it the famously circuitous route of the recurrent laryngeal nerve in the giraffe's neck? Perhaps it's the the fact that Earth is one of about
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets in the universe, therefore we must be special?
A consistent 30FPS experience really isn't that bad in a lot of games. I'd much rather developers push game design with stuff like big open worlds and cool physics stuff like logs from the tree you just cut roll down the hill than a no risks locked 60 FPS static environment. Poor optimization like what is seen in Redfall or Pokemon Scarlet/Violet is an entirely different problem.

And we're talking about a game running on a 6 year old handheld! Not a CPU beast.
Rosy IMF forecasts and "Russian economy is doing fine" articles are based on official Russian stats that are literally made up. Western analysts are unable to fathom that some guy could just type figures into Excel and present them as official numbers. That everything is a lie without any shame or without any anchoring to truth, even if remotely. No, sir. We're standing next to an open reactor, but it's 3.6 roentgen because the party says so.

This is nothing new for Russia. No reliable stats (contemporary nor reconstructions) exist for the USSR either, because they were fudged so hard at that no-one knows the truth anymore. How many tons of milk were produced in 1970? Individual farms fudged their production numbers, districts did too, as did states and the central ministry in Moscow to fill quotas and announce hitting 5-year-plan targets in 3 years and earn bonuses.

In 2023, the goal is to show that sanctions don't work at all and damage the west more than they do Russia, so please remove the sanctions.
Yes, pbzip divides up the file into blocks per core. Though I think some versions (older?) of bzip are unable to handle pbzip archives.

I used pbzip2 on an old octo core xeon server with a decent sas raid and was able to compress at well over 200MB/sec, closer to 300MB in some cases.
For adderall, you need to include the other end of supply and demand. The DEA set quotas that seem to be lower than the rate that is being prescribed.

Whether the problem is how much is prescribed or how little is produced is up for debate.
The fact they are democratic doesn't make all the laws they pass good or worthwhile to "implement"

That's not for Google to decide. Google is a worldwide corporation, not some SV start-up dipping its toe in the water that is only expected to serve a tiny legislative region.

The absurdity of the perspective that they can pick and choose laws to approve should become clear if you change EU-conformance with US.

I'm guessing that this is a temporary situation and Google should clarify that as soon as possible to avoid looking arrogant or incompetent.

no offense to nintendo and fans, but fidelity wise the game looks like an early ps3 game and runs at 30 fps with dips in certain areas and very regular dips when using certain game mechanics.

I can count the triangles on a lot of geometry visibly, and the textures are so blurred it looks like you take any modern PC game and only render the lowest available level of detail of all the textures. I can count the pixels in the shadows on the floor and lighting wise the game is extremely basic (it doesn't need to be more because of the art style). most effects you see in the game are literally blurry billboarded (but granted alpha blended) sprites, including the clouds that are so important in this games visuals.

and to top it off we're in 2023 with half the people or more on 4k screens and the game doesn't even manage native 900p most of the time.

the art design of the game is just designed well around those constraints. very well. but the devs likely did nothing super special to make it run well.
Yes it is basically the classic expected value problem but we don't know the outcomes or their probabilities.
There was Gary Hart who had to withdraw in 1976 (IIRC) due to just a rumored affair. I think things would be much different if he had won.

Now, just a "regular" affair is not even news worthy, to be news worthy, somekind of abuse needs to be attached to the activity. And that does not cause any harm to the candidate, especially if a member of the GOP.
I wasn't aware the Unix philosophy was to not use multithreading on large jobs that can be parallelized.

You can complain about philosophies but this is just using the wrong tool for the job. Complain about bzip if you feel the bzip authors should have made multithreaded implementation for you.
What a great way to compete against chatGPT, which just recently got the OK of the Italian "dept. of privacy".

I agree that it does that job. The criticism is that it's very confusing. If they just wanted to let people know they're adding more integration with AI in their search, they didn't need such a confusing video. And if they wanted to showcase the specific features then they should have given people time to process them.

Sandbox: A Command-Line Sandbox Tester for Different Programming Languages
EU privacy rules are not about the horrors of web-cookies. They require asking for informed consent when you do things that are invading privacies.

All the annoying cookie pop-ups are not mandated by the EU; they are a consequence of website operators choosing to use traffic data in a way that some users might disagree with. You can easily do without. You can, and many do, make them clear and informative.

Those laws would be imperialistic if a majority of citizens around the world, including a vast majority of American citizens, would not gladly demand the same protection when shown what websites do with their information.

This is not just about a frustrating cookie pop-up; this is about having legal options to prevent spammy telemarketers from scamming your elderly relatives. This is about mandating a way to tell ad platforms not to sell you prams after the death of your infant, or show gambling and alcohol ads to addicts.
How about this:

What interest rate is too high? What price for your home is too low?

They both depend upon your circumstances and your view of them.

There is a set of circumstances rationally viewed where you can pay a very high interest rate or take a very low price for your home.

If you're acting irrationally then you have problems - the question is should we try to help you with your problems or removing some of the ways you might act irrationally, keeping in mind that in doing so we're stopping some rational people from doing something they want that is by definition rational.

I lost all interest in Google tablets after they abandoned the Pixel C instead of iterating over the concept of the portable keyboard they shipped it with. It was way ahead of Apple's Magic Keyboard for iPad and if they had doubled down on improving tablet support around 2015/2016 they wouldn't still be playing catch-up after the third or even fourth "we're serious about tablets now!" proclamation.

Android update support is also quite terrible considering they're on their own SoC by now.

I'm totally guessing, but could it be actual corporate strategy? If they are easy to steal, AppleCare+ becomes more appealing and/or having to replace them increases sales. It's certainly an easy problem to solve. Can anyone think of any other legitimate reason not to?
AI Self-Improvement: Taking Constitutional AI Further
I was baffled when I first entered my schedule for a conference into Google Maps, only to find when I flew across the country that all the times were wrong. I understand that it's a reasonable choice to use the local time zone at event creation, but it sure wasn't what I expected (I vaguely thought it would be like your alarm clock example, where it would move with the local time).
EU people should force their governments and regulators to change their stance of overly-strict privacy laws, otherwise the whole world will take off leveraging AI tools whereas EU will not have (legally) access to anything.

Fine. Promoting innovation as an ideologiy has become camouflage for mass exploitation. Most 'innovation' that happens in SV is either advertising nonsense or so new trick to avoid labor laws.

I've lived in both the USA and The Netherlands and I now live in The Netherlands. I recently had to renew my Dutch driver's license and the entire process so painless and quick. Compared to my experiences doing the same thing in both Virginia and California it was a lovely breeze. That's progress. That's innovation.

Don't even get me started on the byzantine nonsense that is the IRS versus the Belastingdienst. I'll take the Belastingdienst any day.

Americans wouldn't know real innovation if a walkable neighborhood arrived on a highspeed train and began eliminating healthcare bureaucracy.

It has been confusing to me to see the federal reserve move away from their job and start producing political materials.

Months ago they, graph experts, produced a graph which misrepresents china's military spending. For no good reason...

https://twitter.com/stlouisfed/status/1617266021810724866

Now this? I fundamentally disagree with some of their premises in this but this is unimportant. The bigger story is why the Fed suddenly is producing these 'political' opinions.
> It's not that simple because the compatibility is from both ends; the CDDL states:

After reading this and thinking about it, I don't understand any argument a CDDL copyright holder would have against Linux? It frankly doesn't make any sense. You're going to have to explain the "Why?" of this. Start with -- "The facts are ... so the claim is ..."

> Linus in general is far more pragmatic about these sort of license issues than, say, the FSF or Stallman.

I wish they both, Linus and Stallman, would stop living in the 1980s. Both don't seem to understand modern copyright jurisprudence, from and including Computer Associates International, Inc. v. Altai, Inc.. I'm not sure it's intentional, but they certainly have both misled the public about what the GPLv2 entails, and their misinformation re: ZFS has been particularly egregious.

> Even if Oracle wasn't the Oracle we know and love today it would still be a risk: things can change in the future, companies get taken over.

AFAICT there is nothing special about Oracle as a litigant in this instance. AFAICT any Linux copyright holder would have have standing to bring suit.

For many small files, compressing first will compress worse, because each file has its own dictionary; compressing last means you can take advantage of similarities in files to improve compression ratio.

Compressing first can also be slower if the average file size is smaller than the block size, because the main thread cannot queue new jobs as fast as cores complete them (this happens e.g. with 7zip at fast compression settings with solid archive turned off). Tarring then compressing means small files can be aggregated into a single block, giving both good speed and compression ratio.
