I never quite bought this. It is known that this is even done live, on request. And in those cases, yes, the viewer who made requests or payments to make it happen is definitely complicit.

Where the argument loses me is that I simply don't believe that the demand in any way causes people to become rapists just to produce content. They were gonna become rapists anyway.

The better argument that seeking it out at all should be illegal is that it's a (very severe) privacy violation. And I would agree with that.

But it is hard to get away from the fact that part of this really is thought crime. In some countries, even things like loli manga are illegal even though no children were harmed making them.

And speaking of demand and exploitation of children, should we prosecute people who bought clothes made with child labour? Their demand also caused child exploitation in some sense. Serious question, because I think prosecuting based on vague economic theories of "motivating suppliers" sets an interesting precedent for all sorts of different behaviours normally thought of as perfectly legal.
Wait, but how did you know no records were missing? In other words - how did you know everything WAS printed?

Right there with you. I simultaneously love my smartphone and everything it has enabled for me and billions of fellow humans, _and_ frequently advocate for taking breaks from it to interact with real people for a change.

A (clearly hypothetical in this case) cafe where screens are banned seems like a perfect place to do that. But I would hate for it to be at a place that is this aggressive.
It’s clearly suspicious and I wouldn’t advise opening these files (there’s no reason it should be a self-extracting executable instead of a standard ZIP file), but the VirusTotal report could also very well be a false-positive if malware makers used the same archiver program to create a self-extracting archive with their malware and AV engines ended up associating the self-extracting archive entrypoint (benign by itself) as associated with malware.
This got me too, they locked me out of my account with close to a thousand dollars. I tell people every chance I get to avoid PayPal, they're a horrible company. Most of the time I hear back, "Yeah I know."

If you don't declare network access in the app manifest, your app cannot make a network connection. If you declare network access, app can make a network call and user confirmation is not required. It is thus very easy to check for apps that are truly offline.
unfortunately, in many places in the world, what kinds of trees and how they thrive is changing very quickly.. rain, heat and fire patterns are all changing now.. I personally support planting trees in most cases, but don't be surprised when the skeptics have some detailed rebuttals..

Cafes are under no obligation to provide wifi and many don’t. Well before the 2000s people spent extended periods of time at cafes chatting, people watching, or reading. Why is the line drawn at working?

It's a race to the bottom and highly volatile. Even if your country opts for "high standards tourism", and prevents the shitty all it takes is a few seasons with fewer visitors or mass tourism style visitors /1, and standards will be lowered very easily.

You can only prevent this when your economy isn't dependent on it, but can use income from other stuff (exports, industry, etc) to weather such periods.

(/1 which can happen due to whatever, a recession, covid, some war, another close destination getting more fashionable or undercutting you heavily, some major accident or local issue turning people off your place, and other reasons)
Would we have had GPT, et al. by 2023 without FOSS?
Panel awnings seem like they would be a win-win for parking lots. The cars get shade, the local area gets energy, and the lot owners get a side source of income.

Is it not cost effective to raise the panels on stilts? Are there liability concerns? Is it too expensive to wire parking lots with beefy electric service?
Elon Musk Sends a Warning to Microsoft
Relying on web of trust is in contrast to having nothing. Other groups (Debian, Apache, etc) describe their hierarchy of trust inside or outside of the key servers, so I rarely care how messed up key server contents are.

AFAIK language specific package managers fundamentally have a trust problem. If they cared enough to make a protocol they might care enough to fix the actual trust problem, but as it is, it is better that we can reuse tools and web of trust rather than download a tor browser and ask it to verify the next download of a tor browser..
But the cell phone market was a pretty well-established and sizable market. The AR/VR market is not.
It's a questionable study. Giving the same amount of money to a person from the UK and China makes no sense given the difference in income between these countries.

Also, this conflates factors other than cheating, such as the respect respondents have for the people administering the test, the degree to which respondents treat this whole thing seriously, etc.

The fact that the study says what we'd expect, doesn't imply it's a good study.
Doing any fitness activity under sweaty VR googles is a fucking pain. None of the display tech is providing sufficient FPS to allow any sort of jittery sports movement without causing people to be sick.

Watching TV in VR also is highly uncomfortable because you can't relax your head due to the weight (and again it is uncomfortably hot). Unless you are on an airplane it doesn't make any sense. The only other advantage is privacy.

The only hope this has is if apple uses insane camera tech to do video pass through VR in such a low latency that this device can beat Hololens for AR applications.

KDL (assuming you mean https://kdl.dev/) looks great, thanks for mentioning it.
You've got me intrigued,but also wanting more specifics. Did you share any details of this anywhere you can link to? (don't worry if not, I'm just nosy)
I wouldn’t be surprised if the only reason this exists in China is because of some legal requirement or a requirement from local carriers. I’m sure Apple and the rest of the industry would rather not offer this as it would break many data collection and “engagement” strategies (you can disable network access for single-player games and not have any ads for example).
I wonder if there are some issuers out there who still have some active legacy backoffice process for processing transactions with carbon copies from imprinter machines
Those sound like good objections to discuss at the No Screens Cafe.
You can program that kind of behaviour onto any keyboard using kmonad. I'm using it on my laptop keyboard.

Cash only is very common at a lot of places in the US. It's sort of a thing that signifies quality and affordability. Pretty much all of them have an ATM so it's not really a big deal. It's much faster and places that can make it with those policies are obviously worth visiting.
Way to go from 0 to 100, lying to slander you lol. Do you think I don't have anything better to do with my time than lie to slander an internet rando?

In terms of the comment, I don't know what to tell you, if anything it's ironic because my parent comment is the one that's flagged. You may call me out for whatever you wish.

You had a comment about how you obviously don't treat programmers like my parent comment suggested else you wouldn't be on this site, which I replied was not the point of my comment and that you had completely misread it.

EDIT: Turning on showdead on my profile shows that your comment is a dead comment now, so either you deleted it or it got flagged to death by other users as I didn't flag it.

It depends on the task. For certain programs you absolutely need to be pedantic in describing what needs to happen. There is a reason we don't program in natural language and that won't change with LLMs.
This looks interesting, I love Textual so I tried this with one of the apps I wrote:

But JSON is strings. So 123.4 is essentially "123.4" but with the indication that it is supposed to be semantically a numerical value.

Can't you store the database locally and then have Dropbox or Google Drive upload it to your drive?

It's still not 100% secure, but you would need both a compromised Keepass app and a compromised Dropbox app.
I'm a bit weirded out by how judgmental people get about this.

Cafes that wanted to ban laptops are free to do so and always have been. Generally people who work on laptops come in during periods when the cafe would otherwise be fairly empty (10-5 weekdays). This is an additional source of revenue to the cafe that doesn't interfere with their core revenue streams - the morning takeaway coffee rush + weekend brunchers.

A local cafe near me bans laptops on weekends. Another one bans laptops on weekends unless you sit in a particular area. Another one has a special laptop area. These are all successful cafes.

I have a feeling that the cafes who prohibit laptops outright are mostly just canceling a stream of revenue. That's certainly their right, but it's probably not what is best for them.
> E-book readers are screens, sorry. You’re welcome to read a regular book. We have whole shelves of them.

I switched to e-books 12+ years ago, and I can't read regular books anymore. First, I need to find really good light (like direct sun light on a sunny day). Otherwise my eyes become tired quickly. Second, the book has to have a good paper quality (cheap greyish paper diminishes contrast). Third, the font should be large enough again not to strain the eyes. Fourth, regular book is heavier, I can't hold it with one hand, so end up sitting in uncomfortable positions (hello lumbar back pain, fellow readers). Fifth, I have utmost respect to paper books (parents had a library, so I grew up between books), and I have to wash my hands and dry them perfectly before I touch a paper book. I don't feel comfortable eating a croissant and read a paper book.

Not to mention that it's just not always possible to find or buy book you want, especially in a reasonable time.

Paper books are also screens in a way. Just with a user-controlled refresh rate (turn the page), and predefined images.
Still, I'd rather not have to move my ski season to the sides of Mount Golgotha near Jerusalem - that glowing snow might still be radioactive after all.
Ordering these things - or, at least, trying to - is beyond ridiculous now. I've been checking three or four sites every month or so for literal years now to no avail.

I've even tried shimmying in an order with an 'educational supplier' here in the UK who apparently have 'some', but only for schools, so they won't let me have one, despite how much material I buy from them each month for my non-educational purposes. I don't blame them, of course, but I do find it weird how there's apparently a heckload of demand and no uptick in production.
I think I kind of agree with this.

One of the simpler supported backends for our Modality product (https://auxon.io/products/modality), which results in a data model that’s a special case of a DAG for modeling big piles of casually correlated events from piles and piles of distributed components for “system of systems” use cases, is built using SQLite, and the scaling limiter is almost always how efficiently the traces & telemetry can be exfiltrated from the systems under test/observation before how fast the ingest path can actually record things becomes a problem.

That said, I do love me some RDMA action. 10 years ago I was fiddling with getting Erlang clustering working via RDMA on a little 5 node Infiniband cluster. To mixed results.
It's a neat hack that the AP is just a repurposed tag, but since they use 802.15.4 could the AP run on other arbitrary hardware? Like the common nRF52840 based boards.
> H will itself contain information (entailment) from f, but never the other way around: f is not entailed by A or H, it is fixed, and only entailed externally by the design and training steps.

This is only true for the first release. Consider that OpenAI has been actively collecting input/output pairs from their users, and then retraining and updating the model. Thus A and H have impacted ChatGPT. This in turn effects how people interact with the system.

You can certainly constrain f to a single point in time, but most people will not. They think of ChatGPT as f and that f is changing or evolving (in the non-literal sense). So depending on how you look at it, f is indeed editable. Opinions will differ here and there is no right answer.

Google wrote a good paper on this feedback loop almost 10 years ago called "Machine Learning: The High Interest Credit Card of Technical Debt" that is even more relevant today.

I am not sure this place exists - if they do there is no website.

I like the concept, practically banning phones would be hard. Other commenters are saying there would be no traffic, but actually when this sort of thing has been tried in past businesses have experienced boosts in sales.

No parking would be a bit difficult, but I guess you could put it in a highrise or off of a bike trail, which would be fantastic.

Lack of cars isn't really judgey, they do both pollute and make noise, plus you do end up with safety issues and ugly tar roads. They don't say never drive them, just they aren't going to make it easy for you.

Which in the USA would make things difficult as nearly everything requires a car and so nobody is used to walking so few people do even if they might otherwise do so.

I like the concept - I do agree the no credit card thing is a bit much - if you could design a screen less card reader (led status lights and rotary number displays), that would make I perfect IMO.
I can definitely find an RTX 4090 in stock and even under its 1819€ MSRP.
Apple needs to crack down on this. I don't see why any computer needs access to notifications. Unless they are a genuine wearable device they do not need this access.
The plug-ins are generally much, much worse than ChatGPT itself I have found. You are just hoping it stumbled on right answer.
Dodo Bird Verdict
> We don’t have any parking for cars. Cars kill innocent pedestrians and emit toxic gas. Cars ruin cities.

I see they resonate with Reddit/FuckCars.
In France they passed a law obliging business with parking lot to build solar panels on them.
I'm happy to see more and more parking lot equipped with solar panels, I can finally have my car in the shade while I shop, and soon it will be the same at my work.

I do not know the reason why it had not been done before, I guess that there was not a lot of solutions available for this use case.
Yeah I've had this happen to me too. Truly awful format. I think the only reason it has caught on is because it has multiline strings, which are usually not great in other formats. Of course YAML fucks that up too by having a gazillion different kinds of multiline strings, distinguished only by impossible to remember symbols. But it does at least have them.
It comes from the Internet cafes that would sell drinks and have PCs available in the 90s. Then Starbucks popularized wifi access and independent cafes were forced to figure out how to offer it to compete.

No one cares about being polite at Starbucks, but I would say the expectation at independent shops is still to purchase something periodically. Not everyone follows it. I don't see many independents limiting access with expiring authentication or codes given at purchase anymore. In the US, many attempting to do that don't seem to even know they're also running a free xfinity hotspot...
As they do periodically. It's a balancing act, with complex dynamics, ebbs, and flows.
I'd rather do it here from home because if we're being sanctimonious I'd be opposed to giving them any funds that further their goals, no matter to what degree.
> You don't

Great. Very obvious.
You buy a printer that you _know_ worked with offbrand ink when purchased (because it did), then one day HP remotely updates _your_ printer that you paid for and now it doesn't (and of course you are not allowed to revert the update), making it completely useless for the purpose it was purchased unless you go and pay HP for their extremely overpriced ink.

Your printer may work but now it's almost cheaper to throw it away and buy another one than refilling it. The only way it could be worse would be if HP decided to triple their ink price the same day.

If BMW updated and locked your car unless you used BMW branded wiper fluid (i.e. water) they'd be sued and scorned all the way to outer space, but somehow when a printer company does it it's okay.
Is it the default? That's all that matters. When GPG defaults to AEAD ciphers, you can say that the ecosystem really supports AEAD (GPG is the de facto reference implementation). If it's not the default, that's purely because too much of the installed base doesn't do AEAD --- there's no other reason to default to PGP's pitiful MDC construction.
Ask HN: Apple forums delete and hide problem posts
I'm normally quite happy with Apple, but recently encourntered a massive problem with wrong album artwork with my own music synced with my iPhone, in that, most of the album artwrok is for completely different albums. I started noticing maybe a year or so ago, that maybe one album would get the wrong artwork, but then I had another issue. iTunes(apple music) just decided all my music didn't exist, i couldn't sync anymore. I had to delete around 100gb of music and reupload again, which takes at least half a day. It worked, I got my music back on my iPhone, but now, 90% of the album artwork is incorrect.

Now it all came to a head when I was searching for music for a party, normally, I rely on cover art, but that's screwed, so I got a little bit angry and complained to apple forums (they have no direct support), I admit I was terse, but I don't think anything could be classisified as breaking forum rules, I provided screenshots, eventually, because the forums don't allow images over 5mb, but screenshots from an iPhone max are larger than that.

Anyway, my post got removed, so I made another, which is urrently still standing, but then I made another post about my earlier post that got removed, asking why I was not notified, and that got removed, vanished into the ether.

I am ok with moderation, I can get quite clode to the line myself and would not question being moderated sometimes, but these posts were documenting clear bugs, and then questioning moderation issues, I've also submitted real deep down apple bugs I found in my app development work that never got aknowledeged (I have to say, one is so important my workaround has rival companies perplexed), but Apple just refuse to even acknowledge these issues and that the post got deleted without a word, makes me wonder, how bad is it?
This research paper is talking about performance whilst you're talking about scalability.

Those are related but are distinct from each other.

And sure about 95% of companies would have their needs met with a simpler system but that does leave a lot of companies who will not. And for those of us in say finance doing customer/fraud analytics I would welcome all the performance I can get.
>While EU provides the funds and has some oversight, ultimately the government decides which projects to back and which areas in the economy to focus on.

Not really. Such funds come with strings attached, and are tied to general development plans made to benefit Germany first, and 2-3 countries with strong influence second. There's some leeway, but not much - and if you don't go for it, you can see funds drying up.

It's not about official channels and equal represenation and such BS -- that's for the starry-eyed naive people who also believe election promises.

Those decisions are taken by back-channels, putting favorable people in key decision points (organizations, ECB, etc.). Satellite countries are also used, exchanging their votes on different issues for favorable treatment, billateral agreements, and so on.
"a cheap Android phone"

A cheap Android phone or a cheap Android phone from a questionable brand/source? The root of the blame here isn't with the fact that it's Android, but more likely what was purchased for him. Probably a big batch of user error too as this was his first non flip phone.
Yeah, definitely isn't totally unheard of. A restaurant and barbershop near me are both cash only.
Boomers love this sort of thing. Or at least talking about loving this sort of thing. Maybe they’re too addicted to Candy Crush style games though where they won’t actually patronize these sorts of places though.
I've never been convinced by an AR keyboard-like interface. You need tactical, physical feedback. I really can't imagine anything short of direct brain interface being a good replacement for physical input devices, specifically the keyboard, though LLMs will maybe make voice interfaces tolerable for certain creative tasks.
8 USD for the video see through cameras is a big disappointment. So this definitely won't do any AR/MR.
That’s true. I have read same books of Newport and I thought they could be summarized on two pages probably. But I guess that applies to most self help authors. Their whole life work can usually be summarized on a few pages.
Try @tui() instead of @tui - that might fix it.
Farm Drainage (1859)
The other really obvious comparison is Signal, which secures more messages in a week than PGP/GPG has in its entire lifespan.

I hate to have to point this out, but in the spirit of technical correctness: as bad as PGP is, it would still be a pretty big deal if it was totally broken (like, at the core, rather than its email use case, which Efail did catastrophically break). People would have to do things in response. But I maintain that if DNSSEC had a comparable failure, nobody would even need to be paged; literally nothing important meaningfully relies on it. It's almost perfectly performative.
