Got kids? Enroll them in youth sports. You'll meet and talk with other parents at games and practices. It's how I ended up joining an indoor soccer league.

Check out your local recreation center. It's how I joined a local fencing club.

Check out meet ups in your area. It's how I join a language exchange group that meets weekly.

Check out your local library. They often have book clubs, kid and adult events, and more.

There are tons of options that people used before social media which still exist today. It's trivial to find them. The biggest problem is that many people don't want to move out from behind the screen.
"Bannerbomb3" is referring to an exploit in their system settings which allowed for custom firmware to be installed on the device. So fixing the bug which allowed the exploit is what is considered to have "blocked Bannerbomb3".

Personally, I think it's rather likely that Nintendo did this specifically to prevent their customers from installing custom firmware on devices they purchased, rather than because Nintendo wanted to fix a bug for any sort of perfectionist or altruistic ("user security") reasons. It can just be dressed up as a security issue, so that's what they do if they feel the need to justify it at all.
Sorry, rereading this I think I didn't explain properly: if there was in kind transfer, maybe I would have transferred and hang to the investments, but the option was to cash out and I just took the money and did not reinvest it. The loss is that I did cash out near the bottom and lost most of the investments. Hope this helps and makes it clear...

A Compiler/Framework for WebGPU Programming
With #WebGPU finally released on Chrome, I wanted to share a WebGPU compiler I've been working on as a side project. The framework allows you to write full WebGPU compute and render pipelines in basic Javascript syntax. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ed8EKgAq. The article talks about how taichi.js allows you to write a GPU-based "Game of Life" containing 3 GPU compute pipelines and a render pipeline in less than 100 lines code
> Blaming social media for this is shooting the messenger.

No, it's not. Social media created a world wide bullying environment. Most of people all over the world are in trouble because they have to compete with unrealistic image of you or your profession created by social media. Whatever you are or do, you are never good enough. Education, medical field and science are especially vulnerable in this regard.

Tech sector isn't really exception, but insane amount of money people get in some parts of the world for compensation makes it more tolerable.

We're simply talking privacy in the digital context. When I was a teenager the world looked different so I had N/A for digital privacy.
That's nice. My favorite front-store to get simple DRM free MP3 files was Bandcamp. But right now, I'm worried by they being adquiered by Epic Games.
There are a few related things here:

By making contract review and negotiation faster, we speed up your sales cycle and grow revenue faster. Faster sales cycles mean that you get paid faster, which in turn means that you can recycle cash into new customer acquisition investments and grow faster. We wrote a blog post about the math of how sales cycle speed translates to revenue growth here: https://commonpaper.com/blog/impact-of-accelerating-sales-cy...

Some of our users work with attorneys, and some do not. For the folks who do work with attorneys, we still make those relationships more efficient because the scope of negotiation is more narrow. As a simple example, if the attorney helps the founder understand the implications of increasing or decreasing a liability cap, it's straightforward for them to apply that info on their own for many deals in the future. With traditional bespoke contracts, if they see a bunch of redlines to a paragraph about liability, it's much harder for them to reason about whether or not this is safe to sign.

We try to help users understand what sort of information tends to go in each variable, but we stop short of providing customized advice. So we can help people understand that a liability cap might be a fixed number (eg $1 million), a multiple of fees paid (eg 1X the last 12 months fees), or unlimited. But we can't advise them on whether or not their particular company should take the risk of a particular level of cap in order to close a particular customer. That's the sort of thing they should talk to an attorney about.
It's true, if I weren't married I'd be getting Soul Red Crystal. Gorgeous color. But it's not for everyone, apparently.

And the blue option isn't available, so white is it. If they had literally any non-red color we would've bought it, but they didn't.
A different possibility is that we stop trying to find "the best" candidates (which, by the way we're measuring with metrics that have been Goodharted well beyond relevance). What if this (and maybe everything else) worked via a kind of lottery:

1. The institution in question evaluates candidates as either a fit or not a fit.
2. The candidates who fit are the pool from which the positions are filled at random.

Obviously it's gameable as stated, but I think if I spent a day or two designing a better mechanism with the same premise, we'd end up with great candidates but without the hyperoptimization trap.
It's strange to me that you think Apple will become a "commodity" producer when it has the largest profit margins in the industry. Which is the exact opposite of how commodities function in economics. Yes Apple's focus is hardware as opposed to software, but there is commodity hardware and non-commodity hardware. Apple is firmly in the non-commodity camp and shows no signs of changing. Things like M2 chips are not "commodity".

I have no idea what Apple will do with LLM's. But Apple is already leveraging ML in things like built-in local dictation and OCR, and we can probably expect that it will leverage things like LLM's at the OS level (iOS/macOS) rather than focusing on their iWork suite. (Honestly at this point I don't understand Apple's strategic purpose with iWork, or even Final Cut Pro.)
Even if it were Linux only, it’s not like GUI and application bundling is standardized across distros.
> I have since tried out Zynthian, and my conclusion was that with a pianoteq license and a good controller, I can have way more functionality and sounds and every thing for a small fraction of the price of that Nord.

Yes, but also buy yourself a big old 90s ROMpler workstation for a couple of hundred quid, and keep it around for when you need something, I don't know, just *different*. Or if you need to do an impromptu gig and don't want to cart your super-expensive controller and super-delicate laptop to a pub.

Think of it as the musical equivalent of your gardening boots.
maybe your blog post can use a little extra line at the end that says, one of these three things:

1. "Nobody at Pypi is opposed to package signing, so long term here is the technology we want to use for this: XYZ..."

2. "Nobody at Pypi is opposed to package signing, however after years of discussion there seem to be no feasible ways of doing this, so going forward there are no plans to actually add package signing" (refer to @tptacek's post at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36048373 which seems to claim there are many, IIRC)

3. "Nobody at Pypi is opposed to package signing, however we simply don't have the resources to implement any new approaches. We would require a grant of $X million dollars to hire people do do this (which would be using technology XYZ)"

is there a choice 4?
> I am pretty confident google could spin up an org to replicate the uber app

Google has already done this. Waymo One is the name of Google's app, and it's live and serving customers already in Phoenix, AZ. Completely driverless - nobody but the passenger in the car.
Eventually? You don't.

The goal of the big companies financing pypi and the other repositories is to identify users with a name, so they can easily ban russians/koreans/iranians/tomorrow's undesirables with ease.
What value is added by swapping Docker out for an alternative on ECS? It's (at least as I understand it) basically an implementation detail, and well beneath the "covered by AWS support, don't touch" surface
I believe what you describe is called pipelining.
It's also under the control of anything that it finds in its current "context window" that it decides to act upon, not just Microsoft...

The surveillance dystopia is a topic and minor theme running through a game I've been building. [SB: see below]

I believe we need to strengthen laws against it. As well as start practicing a broader set of personal security & privacy techniques.

For example, a few of the easy ones I apply by default: I try hard to never use someone else's WiFi: and pay cash everywhere I can; and when say a fast food place asks for my name, unnecessarily, I give them a throwaway alias name (like Joe or Bob), so at worst thats the name they enter in their system. Hundreds more techniques exist obviously, some much stronger, and I recommend folks tailor theirs to taste.

Trade-offs always, and no silver bullet. But wise to take SOME action to fight back and protect yourself. Don't be paranoid, but don't be a fool.

I tried RDR2 for an hour but I was completely bored the whole time. It felt like I was watching a movie that occasionally made me hit some buttons. Did not feel like a game to me at all.
Wait - you think this is all a reason why you can behave the way you described? There is something deeply troubled with you. I'm sorry that I'm so rude, but it's obviously true. And for what it's worth, as rude as this post might seem, it pales in comparison to the estimations of the entire female sex that you have expressed in this thread.
No.

Eurostar services do though (but they are mostly international services).
Kenny Log-Ins
that imposition of a lack of privacy just seems like a sure way to not only make them seek actual privacy elsewhere - moving their communications to other devices, and just doing stuff outside of "surveilled" devices or any devices at all, but to make it so that they won't ever share their actual private matters.

they will have their problems - just, outside of your reach, and they will not talk about them with you. (why? any reason, ranging from 'you don't get to surveil me - i'm going to have my privacy', to 'there's a looming possibility of blowback - I don't want to deal with that (or just, being afraid of that), so i'm just gonna keep my appearances neat (while doing real stuff elsewhere - and keeping that to myself')
> Especially a tool like RViz is always missing. And in many many robotics video I see (of a moderately complex robot), there's ROS's RViz on some screen.

I would love the future robotics development stack to be more modular, so that (for example) future middleware solutions don't need to also bundle their own visualization software. This was direct inspiration for creating Foxglove Studio[0] for visualization and MCAP[1] for logging - both work great with ROS, or equally well without it.

Soo instead of finishing the migration of the old Control Panel to the new Settings app they slapped some ML onto it and called it a day?
Definitely, between DS/3DS games feeling weird emulated on anything else and Nintendo having access to the source code, reducing access to the originals greatly boosts the value of single screen remasters.

Could see the final year or two of the Switch having a bunch of them tbh, similar to some of the bizarre late period 3DS ports (e.g. Bowser's Inside Story)
Making an accelerometer precise enough to be useful for dead reckoning on a time frame more than a few hours looks like a big challenge. On a ship another way is available - speed of a ship relative ocean bottom can be measured using Doppler effect (which can be used for dead reckoning). And it likely is more accurate.
Ah yes. Let's give all of our personal information to USA… They are so trustworthy!
I’ve been using Mullvad for around 10 years, it was fine until last year, a lot of disconnections and and interruptions, slow connections, and latency issues.. I guess a trade off from getting mainstream? Who knows
My best understanding is that architecture is predetermined, which determines the number of parameters up front?

I do think that, however, having shallower bit depths over time will require some slightly deeper networks to compensate, as a result. Sorta makes sense when you think about it a bit. :) <3 :DDDD :)
What problem do you see with the common law system in this context?

I do like the principle that all things being equal, cases should get decided the same way, and we technically have the option of amending the law for clarity if courts seem to interpret it strangely.

It does seem like it can slow laws down, which seems like a possible advantage in some contexts for the stability and continuity of society, but possibly a major downside if you need to act quickly.
The optional block/explainer bit is how Westlaw practical law works. It seems like the main advantage of this over having lawyers who each have access to some tool that is proposing optional sections is that in this model, the end users agree to limit themselves to the optional blocks but they aren’t getting advice on what they mean.

The first is an improvement but without the second I’d be a little concerned. The construction industry has stock contracts like these and I’ve seen them go sideways for sure.
This is just anecdotal but I remember when I was growing up there were always a few kids in school who had extremely restrictive parents like this (strictly controlled their TV, phone, time with friends, searched their rooms, etc.)

On the surface, it seemed like it was effective and they had model kids. But in every case I can remember it resulted in the kids just becoming much better at finding ways to rebel (in increasingly escalating ways) that the parents couldn't catch, until they got a knock at the door from the police, or their kid was pregnant, or overdosed, etc.
Well, I have no particular insight but I heard something about a compiler-to-native code project that might be taking up core team time, or maybe Evan is just burnt out from all the static. I just wish there were fewer people crapping on the kid and more recognition of what he accomplished, and will hopefully accomplish in the future.
Yes, but what about the time involved, does it simulate the construction taking 15 years.
I work in New York at a tech company with more than 200 employees that's a household name among below 50s and considered a hot brand and I only get paid 150.
With self signed certificates your ISP can just serve their own self signed certificate, and then inject ads into the recipe blog.
Are you genuinely asking if it's normal to rape? If you have this much trouble determining what "normal" behavior in today's society is (hint, rape is explicitly unlawful) then you aren't even pretending to be remotely reasonable in any way that's worth engaging with.
Go is pretty mainstream now, so if your editor is mainstream too, just keep using it and add its Go support; you don't need to pick a Go-optimized editor. The basic thing I think you really want is something like `goimports` (which you can just install), which automatically manages your imports for you and takes out 80-90% of the pain of Go's library usage policy.
While I think having an ageing audience has something to do with it, I think there's also another influence here.

YC and the general startup culture has been to do quick MVP's to validate product. This is great for making companies, but these companies have been more about reducing friction than to create something inspiring.

And maybe people have become jaded by new startups becoming successful with boring products. Dropbox is a great company but it's not really an inspiring product. Nor is AirBnB. Or Replit.

On the other hand this has lead to people also being skeptical about actual inspiring companies. I don't have the link here but the amount of negativity about Boom was disappointing.
Note that statically linked go binaries work in a docker image from scratch. This can be created with a multi-stage build where the builder image uses whatever OS you prefer, with any required packages. A build line such as

RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o mybin -ldflags '-extldflags "-static"' -tags timetzdata

And the second stage like

FROM scratch
COPY --from=app-builder mybin mybin
ENTRYPOINT ["/mybin"]

The builder can create users and groups, and the final image can import necessary certs like so:

COPY --from=alpine:latest /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /etc/ssl/certs/

Nah. Compare it with fantasy authors. Nobody thinks that Tolkien or Robert Jordan was putting forward some kind of aspirational project for better living through whatever. But people read Asimov and take psychohistory way too seriously, or read Heinlein and become a libertarian crank or invent a language. And let's not dwell too much on the extreme end of that scale, a certain writer with some funny ideas about mainstream psychology.
If you don't mind spending around $10 USD, hacking an updated 3DS is simple if you get an ntrboot-compatible flashcart [1] and a small magnet. At the moment, Ace3DS X flashcarts are available on AliExpress and work well.

If the supply of compatible flashcarts ever dries up, it will definitely get harder, though hopefully there will be more software exploits discovered by then.

Not the critical aspect of this announcement, but they are explicitly expecting autonomous food delivery. That makes sense in principle, but in practice… This will be all the wrong kinds of exciting for a while.

If you are a designer with a taste for spilling soup, cold pasta, and involuntarily calzone pizza, I recommend you start looking at options there, because:

- Restaurants operators do not want to leave their kitchen; if there’s a terrasse, waiters already go near the street, but it’s not true for everyone: drive through probably aren’t close enough without the car having an articulated arm.

- Food is messy at any conceivable temperature, and anything that looks even slightly gross is a huge No-No: human drivers have to deal with so many ways to preserve the food not to get yelled at, and all that knowledge is going out of the window without them.

- Customers do not want to leave their sofa. Period. Sometimes, they can’t. Always, they don’t want to — “playing video games” is the traditional excuse for “I can’t right now!” but bowel movements, or other reasons for priority hip movements, or just plain not paying attention. Your car will wait while the food gets cold. And losing money because hangry people inexplicably can’t pay attention to their notifications is not the worst part: their expectations will always be worse. The worst Karens are not the ones at Starbucks, upset that their name is spelled wrong: it’s those you haven’t seen yet because they can’t go to Starbucks because their lack of emotional balance keeps them at home most of the time.

Anyway: exciting concentration event (Alphabet is buying what’s left of Uber for pennies in a year), but there are still miracles to pull off. I, for one, will bow in silence when I finally get to see how one of the few geniuses we have left will fix this.
Yes. Thinking about what factors make people choose plane over train and address those would have been better. People will freely choose the better option.
Yes but this requires a lawsuit, which is a complete non-starter for nearly all the "victims." Even if the "victim" is themself a lawyer, it's still a ridiculous amount of work required to collect. It would only be "worth it" if the power differential is lower in the first place, which is ironically when it's less likely to be needed...
I am talking about this:

>The creator has a fan base he doesn't want to disappoint and who will defend his honor as long as he can give them any evidence he's actually making progress

So yes, it's fair to say that you do care about the creator and his drama.
You can still play online multiplayer games. Smash Bros, Mario Kart 7, Monster Hunter Stories PvP etc. The whole Pokemon Bank also works. They only removed the option in eShop to purchase new games, you can still also download everything you bought before.

I imagine rates are determined largely by the general state of the economy (if you currently have a job, how likely are you to lose it?), the amount of data the creditor can gather on potential debtors (what are your wages and current debts?), and the credit card company's ability to efficiently collect on debts.

I wouldn't be surprised if the collections process is easier in the US than in other countries. The economy is not great right now, but credit card companies can also limit your credit to make sure that you don't borrow more than they expect to be able to collect later. And they can see what your existing debts and monthly payments look like, which allows them to de-risk their lending.
I don't know, it's a complicated question, and it has nothing to do with the article and asks for a big language fight.
It's even crazier when you consider that readily available knowledge for cutting edge hardware is much more scarce compared to software. There are no massive communities of knowledgeable people all trying to show you what you are doing wrong.

Especially for something like silicon design, there is virtually zero knowledge available outside of institutions.
> WireGuard is highly secure, but it’s not designed with privacy in mind.

I'm sorry, but I must inform you that the Toms guide contains affiliate links to OpenVPN services. However, it is important to note that neither OpenVPN nor WireGuard can guarantee your safety if you are being targeted by government agencies. The guide's attempt from TFA is to promote these VPN services as a solution for anonymity and censorship (deep packets inspection can block all VPN protocols) avoidance is misleading. VPNs are primarily useful for accessing corporate or home resources and viewing geo-blocked streaming content (say from your home network) on insecure networks like hotel or cafe WiFi.
