One is going over the air and the other was going over copper lines. I don't know if that makes a huge difference, but I suspect it makes some difference (especially in inclement weather).
> A better law would be one that has actual penalties for wrongful reports.

We have general law that provides remedies for false damaging statements and for improper attempts to interfere with existing contractual relationships. I don’t think the absence of an additional cause of action specific to DMCA takedown notices actually has much effect.
The exit stampede had nothing to do with it. FTX had less assets than liabilities. Customer's wouldn't have been made whole if they gave FTX a hunderd years.
Microsoft recently announced that they'd be shutting down the Microsoft Language Portal (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/language) on June 30th. This portal has a terminology search service frequently used by translators and localization specialists from all around the world.

Being a localization specialist myself, I was saddened to hear that this service was going to disappear, as I use it daily for my job. Using Microsoft-provided translation memory and glossary files, I created termic, a replacement tool which aims at providing translators an even better search experience.

This tool is primarily intended for use by translators and localization specialists, but I thought it might still interest some HN folks. It is my very first "big" project, so any feedback is more than welcome! Source code and more details about the project are available here: https://github.com/Spidersouris/termic
Women often wear clothes that accents their breasts and butts, which have strong sexual connections. The most similar example I could think of was a guy showing off his penis the way women show off their breasts.

>> "Many high-tech companies have relocated to Fort Collins because of the resources of Colorado State University and its research facilities. Hewlett-Packard, Intel, AMD, Broadcom, Beckman Coulter, Microsoft, Rubicon Water and Pelco all have offices in Fort Collins. Other industries include clean energy, bioscience, and agri-tech businesses."

Maybe not a hub yet, but it's headed that way. It's also only an hour away from Denver.
> Even if only 37% of keys are verifiable, that's infinitely more than will be verifiable if they remove the PGP support.

Discoverable. That does not really verify anything about the key, its identities or the supposed signer.

It boils down to almost entirely to just an overcomplicated hashing system.
That’s the Chuch-Turing thesis, combined with computational semantics. Computational semantics gives us formal logical statements for anything you might want to say, the Church-Turing thesis states that computational processes are equivalent to these logical formalisms, and you’ve accepted that any computational process can be represented in English (if verbosely).

The only exception would be things not express able on our semantic models which you might want to say. No one has ever been able to offer up an example of something that couldn’t be represented in a logical formalism, so…
They address your comment directly in their post-

> While it doesn't represent a massive operational burden to continue to support it, it does require any new features that touch the storage of files to be made aware of and capable of handling these PGP signatures, which is a non zero cost on the maintainers and contributors of PyPI.
If you want better wages (relative to the location the employees are) and also lower prices of goods, then you can't have production in the US
"It's obviously a bit in the future, but I look forward to the day when you can just use AI to generate new music, movies, TV shows, etc that are unencumbered so you can watch them wherever and whenever you want, even in 4k on Linux! I'll have sympathy and sadness for the individual creatives that lose the ability to support themselves, but not for the mega corps that have brought us to where we are now."

I agree that modern copyright law is atrocious and stifling, but the whole "I have sympathy for artists, but..." thing is just grimly exhausting and depressing at this point. I feel nothing but despair. I've spent a lot of time interacting with ChatGPT and image models, and when people say this, all I can do is wonder how other people interact with art and literature.

Every iteration of ChatGPT I've seen is an astoundingly bad prose stylist. At a sentence-to-sentence level, everything that burbles forth from ChatGPT's maw is joyless, flavorless garbage. It's an undifferentiated slurry that has all the verve of a corporate onboarding manual, mated with a self-help book, written by Reddit's gestalt consciousness.

Statistically aping surface form is low-hanging-fruit. Even if you just want (ugh) 'content' in the raw sense of the word - stuff that fills time between when we're born and when we're dead - I am skeptical current Large-Whatever-Models will get there. Everything they do is wholly divorced from being an agent in a physical reality. This is why image models can't even do (what-do-you-call-them, oh yeah) hands. There's a difference between regurgitating variants on two-dimensional representations of hands and drawing hands. I am similarly skeptical that a large-text-model can ever do anything that captures inner experience in a truly novel way. I just firmly do not believe that a text model trained on works written prior to Faulkner's career - regardless of how much goading you gave it - could produce "As I Lay Dying."

Wake me when a GPT model can write a thriller that delivers the rainsoaked weltschmerz and dread of Le Carre's 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.' Until I see an AI put out something on par with "Move. Once you stop, you never start again: there is a special stage-fright that can make you dry up and walk away, that burns your fingers when you touch the goods and turns your stomach to water. Move," I will fear the idea of AI being pushed as any sort of salvation from the overreach of copyright law.

If it does end up being the solution we get, I worry we will have to augment the free-as-in-beer and free-as-in-speech axes with free-as-in-dumpster-diving.
I'm down for the swapover, but I hope that some of these other battery technologies overtake lithium sooner rather than later, and I also hope that at least some companies start feathering back the weight of their vehicles.

Lighter, smaller cars are better for the roads, easier on tires, more convenient pound for pound, easier to park, and typically less expensive to maintain.

I mean, Lotus made a car frame that could be lifted by one not particularly strong person in the 80s and they're working on replicating that feat for EVs today:

https://electrek.co/2021/09/21/lotus-unveils-lightweight-cha...

And aside from all of that, giant pickups are probably the lamest vehicle in America. I'd rather drive a minivan. Maybe in middle America they make sense, but any time I see them in the city they are rarely being used for construction or heavy moving or anything that you would actually need a truck for.

They're basically mom car SUVs with a lift kit and a penis extension truck bed on the back.
Funny, I didn't watch the Simpsons or listen to alt rock radio, but I had no issues socializing or finding friends. Turns out no one thinks the Simpsons or and alt-rock are essentials to children being able to properly socialize with one another. And yet people are arguing that social media, despite all its harmful effects, can't be withheld from a child without damaging them.
Politics is inherently highly controversial, is what I meant. And on forums like this, even a slight majority is enough to suppress the other.

After all, think about it: if you have 5000 rabid A voters and 4900 rabid B voters, every pro A comment will be at +100 and every pro B comment will be at -100 even if everyone participates. True approval will be slightly above 49% for B comments but will end up appearing to be massive disapproval.

That's a structural problem with additive/subtractive vote counts.
I hear what you are saying but I'm not seeking to isolate my kids at all. Today's "moral puritanism" is yesterday's raising kids to understand right from wrong and what makes a good man. They hang out with friends, play on sports teams, take academic extra curriculars. The only thing I limit is social media. Social media is not a nice introduction to different views, it's an aggressive shotgun blast with the worst kind of people peddling their views for likes and followers. kids don't need social media to be well rounded, removing a negative influence is not sheltering.

> Also what happens to medical patients, say after surgery? Travel by train? That would've probably killed my grandmother. Only time she travelled by airplane in her life by the way.

Indeed, and this rule is so ham-fisted that there basically can't even be exceptions, since there wouldn't be enough of them to make a flight economical to fly.
I debated linking solutions I use but didn’t want the post, in that way, to advertise anything.
The Busing of Migrants Has Worked
Sure, even nuclear annihilation is asymmetric - the amount you spend on making the bombs is much less than the amount you can destroy with them. But that doesn't automatically imply that there are routes to global destruction that are arbitrarily cheap.

The implication seems to be that the superintelligent AI will somehow figure out a way to destroy the world that requires significantly less than the "huge capital and expertise" needed for the nuclear scenario. But that's a critical assumption that requires justification, not something to be left as an exercise to the reader.
Michael Lewis first book was in 1989. Liar's Poker. It's about his career as a bond trader. Pretty hard work. None of his other books make WS sound easy.

Said he'd go to colleges to speak after each book came out. Students saw his books as opportunities, not a warning as intended. Q&A was always "so, where to you think the next boom is?"

He's very grim about it.
I tried to use podman for a personal project.

It still has lots of documentation issues/missing. Lots of little bugs and very little updates on stability.

Used wsl2 and ubuntu. Eventually gave up because it was just leading from one rabbit hole to the next.

Either use venv/vagrant/docker. Or just use native development workflow.

Podman is not worth the pain unless its for a mid size business or bigger.

I'd guess that for many of the folks reading this page, your focus on their sexual features is more curious than whether you're blaming anyone.

Even in the full knowledge of the purported origins of lipstick, it's interesting that you think a woman getting dressed for office in a traditional, largely expected fashion, is trying to "mimic sexual excitement".

What's your reasoning for this?
If that is suffering than every child will always suffer, because an very normal part of childhood is someone finding a reason to bully someone else. It's part of developing understanding of social structures and your place in them, some kids will inevitably decide they must be at the top of the pecking order in their little personal hierarchy. You physically cannot prevent children from making up ways to pick on each other, there's like a doctor Seuss book about this for heaven's sake.

This isn't saying "stop trying to prevent bullying" but rather "if you are afraid of your child being bullied because they aren't on social media, them being on social media will not stop them from being bullied" and social media makes bullying worse because now it follows them around instead of possibly stopping at 3pm

I’ve seen so many deals get hung up on the smallest legal issues. One time a company spent 6 months just negotiating the NDA before could even get to a POC that the champion kept pushing and wanting to do!

I think what’s cool about CommonPaper is not just having the negotiations scoped to smaller areas but also the affect on the sales cycle. If can trim months off a deal process, that can help save a startup in terms of resources spent and dollars coming in earlier.

Adobe Supercharges Photoshop with Firefly Generative AI
It's just like any other intricate physical skill that requires practice, like music or sports.

I've started seriously learning guitar / ukulele, and it's amazing what improvements you can get just spending a few minutes a day where you slow down, do drills (like practicing scales), and analyze what you're doing.

The first time I play a new, unfamiliar piece of music with any tricky bits it feels awful, and I hate it with every fiber of my being. I want to run away and give up on ever learning it. That's when I take a break and come back the next day - when it usually seems much more accessible after I've had time to process it.

The first time you practice cutting an onion the "right" way will feel really slow, annoying, and taxing to your brain. You'll want to do it the way you're used to, even if that's horrendously slow. Do this every day for a week or two and you'll be amazed that it just happens naturally without having to think about it.
I think that 'take off' level of intelligence requires that increased intelligence lead to increased biological benefit. Those complex brains are expensive.

Since elephants aren't carnivores I don't think they would get much benefit out of the reasoning skills that enabled us to be really excellent pack hunters, which was probably why more intelligent ancestors of humans managed to out-compete the less intelligent ones.

If elephants gain abstract reasoning skills what does it get them? More efficient harvesting of bananas?
> We have financial systems that are certifiably broken, there are countless ideas about how to fix them

You can trace back almost everything that is broken in financial systems to government regulations. It's not a technical problem. The only technical solution is to build a decentralized system that is difficult to regulate (aka Bitcoin). Its "economic objective" is to replace those traditional systems.
I assume you mean the camera on your smartphone? Can you use a background sync program like SyncThing to push photos and they'll be there when you're ready to use them on your desktop?
This seems to me like a strange and counterproductive attitude. People are fine with Facebook or Google manipulating them and extracting vast amounts of money from them and handing it out to their employees, but get upset when an extremely useful product simply asks for voluntary payment from time to time to pay out a fraction as much in order to retain talent?

The world would be better off if people were happy to donate to useful products like Wikipedia, and encouraged high pay there (because with a large enough denominator, it's an insignificant amount of money to users), and more upset about the exploitative practices of mainstream companies. Then we might see more open and straightforward services like Wikipedia, and fewer creepy and insidious businesses like Facebook or Google (thinking specifically of YouTube and it's attempts to drive 'engagement' here...)
This is an extraordinary and disingenuous leap, and it doesn't even merit responding to as a proxy for your willingness to engage with others, but to make the superficially obvious point more crystal clear: the existence of folks who prefer the communal and social aspects of work in a common location is not up for debate, and no, their preference on this subject does not imply that they uniformly think everyone should share their preference.

Please take a deep breath and consider the extent to which your unwillingness to even acknowledge the existence of people who don't share your opinion may harm, rather than help, your cause.
If I remember correctly, there were 600 CS freshmen in 2000 at Virginia Tech, only ~60 of us were left by graduation, I think largely because of people evaluating their prospects after the crash (and computer science is hard).
I find product placement and 'organic' ads annoying, but I don't think they are as effective as regular old advertisements. If they were, the fraction of the advertising budget would be heavily shifted towards 'product placement' and away from '30 second pre-roll ads' and banner ads.

It's not what an average professional cook can do either but it's still one useful reference on how long it takes to chop garlic. No one is going to follow a pasta recipe that says it takes three hours because they do shit like allocate 4 minutes per clove of garlic.
You’re exactly right that these are orthogonal. The data isolation is the much harder part (the type of sandboxing provided by WASM has long been available via interpreted languages, see pl/v8 et al).

Without exception the existing APIs mentioned in this article don’t attempt to handle “data sandboxing” since it’s so application specific. So it remains the case that exposing your db to user defined functions is dangerous without a ton of work, and WASM in no way reduces the amount of work needed.

This is a complaint that virtually every single ad out there is actually spyware that tracks you, with the "ad" part being almost like an afterthought.
Yes, good catch. I was getting that mixed up with the US EPA's stats[1]. FWIW they say passenger cars account for 58% of all transportation emissions within the US, more than all trucking, flights, and shipping combined. Again, within the US.

Did you, though? Is that a report? Or, is it a press release, written pseudonymously, on a local blog no one has ever heard of, that only quotes one of Gottheimer's political opponents, who is accusing him of doing something that is extremely common? Note that last part- even if I took every word of that as gospel truth (which I have no reason to do), what is "notoriously corrupt" about doing something that I think we all think most of Congress is doing?

I searched..."Josh Gottheimer corrupt". And that certainly didn't come up. But again...that's not a very convincing link. It's literally just his opponent saying "he's corrupt".

Thank you for writing all of this out.

Just one confusion I have: wasn't NT Win 4.0? The first NT release IIRC was 3.5, which had the same UI style as 3.0-3.2, but with the new kernel. This of course muddles the waters, having two parallel OSs with almost the same APIs but different kernel being sold at the same time with easy to confuse versioning (all the way up to Me and 2000 and until XP finally finished merging the lineages).
Yeah remaking a SNES track would actually be more work than grabbing a map from Tour and doing a few tweaks to make it work in MK8. The SNES maps are actually interesting courses, like Donut Plains has an underwater bit, and the SNES Rainbow Road has thwomps that send shockwaves through the road. They're essentially brand new original courses aside from concept and general layout.

Engadget had been quite biased against BlackBerry for a long long time.

"Crucially, though, it's not just like reading a Wikipedia entry. Johnson tells us exactly who Laziridis and Balsillie are from the very first scenes of the movie."

This statement's patently false. Aside from failing to spell the name of one of the main characters correctly, anyone who have interacted with the real Mike Lazaridis knows that he's not a meek push-over of a computer nerd.

All the review, this one included, that raves about how true and accurate the movie have never been there.

And the movie would have been better off if they just used false names, because at least it would be a lot less distracting from all the wild deviations from reality.

Short simple and to the point (unlike my comment, but alas).

I recently tried a little experiment, where I would use the internet without adblocker (or similar like DNS filtering, extensions to remove annoyances, etc). I thought to myself I was in my little sheltered bubble a bit too long having access to these things that make browsing seamless, even enjoyable. I wasn't shocked by what I found, but I was disturbed by how universally unusable it has become. No wonder people stick to their containment zones on Reddit or Instagram.

You search something up, you get a bunch of ads to scroll through. Fine for me, I know what link to look for, but most don't. Huge issue.

You visit the website, you're bombarded with a video ad in the corner, banner ads on the side, a notification banner up top, a chat bubble in the other corner, and a cookie banner in the middle with garbage defaults. You get through all of that miraculously on your phone, but the article disappears to show a giant ad as a background, before reappearing again if you keep scrolling. Again, I know these horrible patterns I can navigate through them, but how does somebody's grandma?

The internet is so frustrating because so much of it has been horribly tainted by the ad industry. Every single aspect, every single feature, gets misused by the ad industry. You thought deeper GPU access would mean fully fledged games in the browser? Nah we're just using it to profile you better. We're spending billions of dollars on developing a new social app, oh but it's not to improve communication, no we just want you to get hooked on it to see more ads.

Block all the ads and annoyances you want. Until we get thorough data privacy laws, it's your duty to block them. Go on, I know how it impacts me directly/indirectly, as I'm a web developer who spends far too much time persuading clients not to load up their sites with this BS. You should still block them.
I think they're referring to humans' ability to conduct persistence hunting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_hunting
I think there will be almost no posters here to defend ads, which is really something, given that this is a tech site and a whole lot of the sector is ad-driven.

Hopefully this indicates that there will be room for something better soon.

Or maybe it just indicates that the ad guys have so throughly beat us that they don’t even feel the need to come argue anymore.
