I see those things as a big slap in the face for freedom. Can you imagine? We forbid locks in your homes. You have nothing to hide (but a lot to lose).

I hate the argument 'You have nothing to hide'. It is so untrue for every single person in the world. It is such a weak argument.

You have nothing to hide and we forbid to use any form of encryption.

Alright, lets AI call your grandmother with all the information hackers got on you. Lets see if you really had nothing to hide.
The Dutch seem to be forerunners in Europe, as they apparently managed to enact class actions for privacy violations already in 2020:

https://www.loyensloeff.com/insights/news--events/news/priva...

It is interesting to see how other countries are going to transpose the EU's directive on this matter. I fear that some countries will try to opt-out or otherwise downplay the law. For instance, there is an act on class actions in Finland, but it is very restricted in its scope and hardly ever used. It also follows the dubious and infringing Finnish tradition of placing an ombudsman in charge.

EDIT: Apparently, Finland has already transposed Directive (EU) 2020/1828. I have to read it.
OK, I'll admit butterflied chicken can be cooked that quickly. But basically all other forms of chicken take longer. For curry for example, even though I cut it into small pieces and it could be cooked only 8 minutes since you're going to cook it in the paste later, it's just not going to brown properly and the flavour is not going to be as good. Normal breasts or thighs take longer as well.
Sifting makes sense if you knead by hand - makes absorption easier.
Toasting spices in a little oil - spices release flavor into the oil and your kitchen smells awesome.
Meat also releases fat when browned. So it is kind of self sustaining.
Absolutely, but the Ukrainian government is rotten to the bone and ultra corrupt as well, it needs to be exposed. Officials are lining their pockets with foreign aid, including the Ukrainian president. I'll still support Ukraine over Russia, but Ukrainian officials are crooks, and you cannot say that on r/worldnews without facing a ban.
> It has features that I can’t get in Firefox (like a vertical tab bar that doesn’t look like a hack).

Huh? Firefox has had great vertical tabs, thanks to Tree Style Tabs, for decades. Orion doesn’t supper hierarchical tabs, like Firefox does.

I use Orion and Brave, both of which are experimenting with vertical tabs, but if Firefox were as fast as Brave I’d be full-time on that. The tabbed browsing experience on Firefox has always been the best, in my book.
Access To Insight contains English-language translations of the Pali canon. Bhikkhu Bodhi and Thanissaro Bhikkhu are two of the preeminent Pali translators around, so most stuff with their name on it just means they translated it, not that they're the authors.
I respect the hell out of Kenji but if properly caramelized onions are central to the dish (e.g. French onion soup, caramelized onions for a burger, etc.) I tend to come down on the side of Daniel Gritzer (also of Serious Eats).[0]

Embedded so deeply in the operating systems of our inhabitants that unjust scapegoating is inevitable to maintain group cohesion. What's a few unjust persona non gratas if collective sanity is maintained? But I would prefer if it was a conscious decision, a just trial, but that would destroy the purpose of the mechanism wouldn't it. Every group makes an example of someone just for demonstration purposes.

Once in a while I try some of my father old games with my steam deck ('90s game like the OG Colin Mc Rae Rally or the early Need For Speed games)and I'm impressed how they work with basically no issues on current-gen devices.
Labels will have a nocebo effect, so that's not unreasonable. They're also guilt inducing.

Google CEO: Building AI responsibly is the only race that matters
I read some contemporary articles in a Private Eye annual from the 1960s and the problem was not really the noise but the structural damage that was (allegedly) being caused. I don't know how real that was, but in the UK concerns over structural damage to buildings was what lead to the ban.

As for this plane, what are the elements of the design that reduce sonic booms? The comically long nose?
rollingstone.com is powered by 'Wordpress.com VIP' so is maybe not a great advert for this service?

You do, however, find a lot of big business sites fail hugely on things like pagespeed and CLS for the simple reason that they are not heavily dependent upon Google search results so, consequently, don't feel compelled to jump through every hoop required.

With wordpress specifically, lots of folks use ready-made themes/templates which are often optimized for aesthetics rather than current performance metrics.
I don't like the idea that landowners should have complete control of the land they own.

Owning land, more than anything else, should be considered a responsibility -- we have a finite amount of it and (mostly) can't make more. I personally feel many societial problems arise from poor use of land (in the UK, the lack of house building has both pushed up both rents and house prices to extremely unreasonable levels).

Which banned communities are you referring to? I can't recall any ban wave targeting anything other than content most would consider to be hateful or bullying.
I think what you're saying is warranted, but you should be very careful putting machine learning architectures in the context of the human mind. They are inherently different, although their output may be similar at some points. What you're saying addressed this directly.

Machine learning is optimizing mathematical weights and biases, and the human mind is messy wetware. One of the first things you will read in any machine learning textbook is to throw away the notion of AI trying to simulate the human mind.
Just addressing the Galileo part, but as was recently linked in hackernews [1][2], Galileo was wrong (in the sense that he was arguing for an already discredited theory, and that the theory he was arguing against was also already discredited).

Using Galileo as the standard of the suppression of free thought is sorta painting the Church as overzealously standing up for good science, not highlighting the Church as an enemy of truth.

I'm starting to wonder if demanding that commute being paid work time would be a reasonable tradeoff (that I wouldn't take myself). If being at the office is part of the job description, then commuting logically follows as a job function.

At the moment, employers are ripping into employees time at the monetary expense of employees. Should we just live closer? Sure! Let's talk about compensating employees for property prices and home security.
You can say anything is carbon neutral if you use synthetic fuel. It's meaningless at best, and manipulative at worst.

XFCE didn't look like today's XFCE 20years ago. It looked more like CDE which it was trying to replicate back then. So I think your memory is a bit broken.

I would argue that the gnome2 and mate arrangement with top and bottom panels made sense when screens were in 4:3 form factor but is kind of stupid in 16:9 and 16:10 modern screens as it waste a lot of vertical screen estate.

On my Fedora laptop I still have a "Gnome Classic" option at login but I don't know what it does. Last but not least, extensions allows a lot of flexibility. Sometimes they do get broken upon new release and it takes the maintainer months to update (especially if they are debian users) so key is not running a distro that ship the latest Gnome version. For example on Fedora there are always 2 stable versions maintained at the same time, new one and old one, currently 37 and 38. 37 will be retired and out of support when 39 will be released and you can expect at that time that most extensions have been updated to Gnome 44 and you can switch to 38 easily without hiccups.
It's tough to parallelize a recipe the first time you're cooking it - unless you have a photographic memory you're gonna have to keep checking back between steps and it's easy to miss something. Ends in getting really stressed out when you have something on the stove and realize you need to chop veg in 30 seconds.

It's better the 2nd or 3rd time but I think with these meal plan services you're cooking something different every day, so it's hard to develop that familiarity. Ideally you'd follow their steps and take as long as you need the first time, and then go out and buy groceries and do it again, but that probably defeats the purpose of using such a service anyway
Soviet Republic: Workers and Resources has this. It is an incredibly deep city builder and sim with very well modeled systems. The realistic mode requires fuel for vehicles and workers for construction. You don’t simply plop buildings down or define zones that magically fill in.
effort and cost should be accounted for, reasonable licensing fees should go in the patent. Loss of lives and loss of quality of life should be considered. The only goal on the other end of the equation should be to encourage people sufficiently to not keep their invention secret.

We should also have a fund for particularly tricky inventions and copyrights that would greatly benefit mankind.

Say, someone or some institution writes a good school book. We can just buy the book for whatever we think is reasonable. If they want to publish the same book the next year with the chapters shuffled around they could be entitled to a tiny fraction of the previous sum or it could be denied for being spam. If this bankrupts the company is of very little interest.
When interpreted as an unsigned integer, it actually corresponds to the maximum value of almost 4 GB (0xFFFFFFFF). Note that the fields are declared as SIZE_T, which is unsigned. (Not sure if they always were.) The installer may be incorrectly assigning the value to a signed integer type.

I often wonder if we really need(ed) to change everything to it's current state. What if we still had fax machines and photocopiers and non-networked IBM PCs in the office? I mean we could run a business like that in the 80s, why not now?

It seems like we're in a race and constantly accelerate but does it make sense?

Don't get me wrong, I understand that it makes economic sense to be faster and cheaper than the competition. I also don't mind many of the nice goodies we have nowadays and the progress in medicine etc..

However, I feel like working was more humanely paced back then. It's also possible that I'm just getting old and / or tired (I also suffer from depression and whatnot) which makes me think so fondly of the past.

E.g. the company I'm working at now, they had folder filled with documentation and there were people actually thinking about how the things should work and how some meaningful innovation could be done. Nowadays documentation spread in different versions in numerous teams channels, sharepoint pages, jira, confluence, network shares, git repositories etc. it's really hard to find anything. Lot's of features are being added to the products but without knowing how they're actually being used by the customers, many of them being completely impractical or irrelevant in real life...
AI won't have to write code
31. Hodes and Mostaque confirmed Dr. Waseem's 10% equity interest in written messages to each other.

33. Since Stability Al had cash flow issues and fell behind in paying its outside counsel, Mostaque told Dr. Waseem that Stability AI would wait to formally document Dr. Waseem's equity interest until the company received additional financing.

I don't believe for a second that a hedge fund boss conveniently failed to record a 10% equity share by accident.

Sure but Econ 101 is purely theoretical. De facto what happens is people sell their good car and buy a clunker, they forego vacations, they avoid new purchases, they buy shittier food, they eat out less, they pull their kids out of extracurriculars, they sell their houses, they move to cheaper cities, they go deeper into debt, they pick up extra shifts or extra jobs, etc.

Essentially it's a huge transfer of wealth and economic power to those who need it least from those have very little to begin with. I honestly don't understand any of the arguments in favor of it. Like is Johnson & Johnson using the money to make better baby powder (that doesn't give you cancer) or are they pumping their stock price, collecting bonuses, and prepping for another round of share buybacks?
I mean, I'm in Europe. To me, most western media - particularly US - seems to be between left and far left[0], but I'm realizing this may be selection bias, due to several factors:

- I'm thinking mostly about Internet-accessible media. That means social media, Internet-only news/opinion publishing, and legacy news/opinion media that underwent a transformation, from printing papers and running TV channels, to publishing articles on-line and running TV streaming. This is biased against media platforms that are still more focused on TV, radio and/or paper.

- I'm going by my own overall experience and exposure, which is likely biased by my interests and circles - STEM, software industry, higher education, and adjacent.

It feels to me that the "left/right" split in media is ~80/20, but I have no good way to estimate the the actual volume of right-leaning media, as I inhabit a left-leaning filter bubble[1]. That said, the reason I suspect there is some imbalance favoring "left" is because news publishing and advertising both focus mostly on-line these days, are run by well-educated people, and involve a lot of tech - and all those factors tend to lean left, AFAIK.

EDIT: also another factor suggesting an imbalance - there is clear one-sideness in terms of effective cancellation, performative victimhood and outrage activism - if there was no media bias, both extremes would be equally effective (or neither would be). This is not to say only one extreme is trying to manipulate people like this - I just suspect one side does it mostly through the media, and the other mostly through church sermons[2].

--

[0] - The meaning of "right"/"left" I'm using here is the US one, as much as I internalized it. Over here in Europe, the "middle point" is located somewhere else, making the US "right" and "left" both be mostly on the same side - I just can't ever remember which one.

[1] - I don't seek out news myself, so I ingest mostly whatever happens to cross my way (and half of that is via HN anyway). My main exposure to more right-leaning media is through the government TV station my in-laws watch, and some talking point one of my parents picks up from weird and mostly partisan political YouTube channels.

[2] - The little exposure I had locally with Catholic sermons tells me that priests often push specific political / social views on the parishioners.

If encryption is illegal, you are suspected of having to encrypted data and don't provide the keys, the police won't be puzzling about what's random or encrypted bytes: they'll interrogate you, abuse you and throw you into jail.

> The Church is not a country and never was?

The Papal states were literally a country, although surely not the largest in Europe. Galileo did not live there but rather in the Duchy of Florence (later Grand Duchy of Tuscany); however, as a Catholic he could still be tried by the Inquisition, which was essentially the Interpol of heresy.

>Let's not equate lack of specialty knowledge with stupidity.

No we should, because apparently one is a naive digital "serf" according to the prior comment in the chain. As if people who purchase these devices are unaware that the app store exists, and that their desires for simplicity, protection or privacy are frivolous curiosities that should be hand-waved away. As Ogilvy famously said "The customer is not a moron. She's your wife".

You can't argue in good faith that consumers are both lacking specialty knowledge, but also possessing the know-how and desire to open their hardware and swap componentry for certain 3rd-party unsupported hardware. Either they have deep knowledge of the device and its limitations, or they don't and the need to order official parts for replacements has no affect on them.
IUCN have it as ‘Least Concern’ but NatureServe have it as ‘vulnerable’ which is one of their ‘threatened’ statuses. I don’t really know about NatureServe though. I think their methodology is different in how it treats cultivated/non-native populations.
Cutting board covers, a rubber mat that lays on top of your cutting board, cut all your meats first, toss it in the sink, swap knives, cut all your veggies.

My perception has been the opposite. The distros that I see people using are Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch. I use NixOS and Gnome is the recommended DE.

Gnome has sane defaults and in my experience does actually "just work" on a surprisingly wide variety of modern hardware.

I'd rather not comment about the reliability of ATK because that would be missing the point, but their recipe seems overly fussy and anyway they cut their onions too long in that video. I think it's kind of gross when you have dangling onion strands.

Slow cook them first for a few hours at a low temperature and then caramelize after. All your onion in a dry pot. Don't add water. Strain them when done and you have... soggy pale onions. Heat up the biggest pan you have and add some butter to do the caramelization (don't crowd the pan like they do in their video). Add some good balsamic vinegar and brown sugar while you're at it. Be sure to make a huge batch so you can freeze some for later. Don't bag and freeze before letting the onions come to room temperature. It's a lot of water in them onions man, but you can use that strained out water for a vegetable stock!
Oh you mean TLAs ?
You've given me some things to think about. I see how your experiment would disprove Poverty of Stimulus (if we could roughly assume how much input a baby gets) but I don't see how it would disprove Universal Grammar. If the computer could learn a non-human language, wouldn't that lead to the charge that while our computer is a competent language learner, its methods are fundamentally unlike those of a human?
Pinch of baking soda thoroughly mixed with a teaspoon of sugar, then sprinkled over the chopped onions to make sure it gets evenly distributed.

People condense information from more than several thousand tokens ago into higher level chunks. So the whole first chapter of Infinite Jest becomes “child tennis prodigy is weird and annoying”.

Sounds like steganography, it should be possible to encrypt and merge two files, with one key for each file.
The approach isn't to ignore all "user" content at all. It is trained to follow instructions in normal text; only instructions contained in specially quoted text (that is, external text, like a website) are ignored. Quotation would apply to Bing's search abilities or ChatGPTs new Browsing Mode, which both load website content into the context window.
> Some claim that this is a thing when making rice too. I've tried toasting the grains for a few minutes before adding the water to boil, but I can't say I can tell the difference. Maybe that's a time issue like the onions, or maybe it just doesn't do anything...

Quite a few Indian dishes require toasting the rice first, if you don't you will end up with a very different dish. In the right context, it makes a huge difference.
Joke that I heard was supposed to come from the 1880s.

Some travelers stop off at an inn in the Swiss Alps, and they notice that are the various tables at the inn are other nationalities. They amuse themselves by listening in on the conversations (and displaying their stereotypes) - the Italians are all talking at the same time very loud and never stop moving their hands, the French are all arrogant artistes, the Danes are boring and only talk about the weather, and then they notice the Germans.

There was obviously a very important conversation going on with the Germans because one German would say something and every other German would stop and listen intently until they were done, and then another one would start up and every one would stop and listen intently until that one was done, but in following the conversation it became clear it was not because the conversation was important, but because the Germans were waiting to hear the verb to understand what was being said.
