If a boom-bust cycle creates an economic surplus, then people suffering is an issue of negative externalities and unfair distribution of resources. The solution is to pay people who got laid off, not under-hire.
This is going to be an uphill battle in Hawaii.

Hawaii is notoriously difficult to do business in, Hawaiian Airlines has become entrenched in protecting these routes, Southwest has been moderately effective but it's at a significant cost, and mokulele has had some serious negative press over the safety of their aircraft.

Part of the super ferry demise wasn't just NIMBYs' but entrenched politics and money.. glad you folks are brining some innovation and wish you luck on some much needed disruption.

I like how they included video examples, for those whose browsers dont support the api. I liked more how on safari all the videos are just white.
This is discussed in detail in the actual article.
This is not just a matter of preference though. Nothing to do with freedom either, I know Americans have trouble defining this notion but don’t be ridiculous.
> SCOTUS mostly hears cases where there is disagreement among the appeals courts, or where they feel the appeals courts are getting it wrong consistently.

I would say where there is a circuit split or an issue of particular importance to resolve (including, sometimes, a novel and significant challenge to existing Supreme Court precedent.) While there are a few cases that have probably been taken based on, or at least with, a prejudged outcome, I don’t think such is a norm such as to be listed as one of the major reasons the Court takes a case.

I recently got my new upgreded notebook at work, which I asked to have GNU/Linux installed instead of Windows. First thing I did was get rid of Gnome/Unity as I did with my last work notebook, what an abomination of a software.
Any company that brings a medical implant device to market should be required by law to establish a trust to fund continued support of the device for the natural lifespan of the youngest/longest lived recipient, period.

Also, all designs, software and patents should be open sourced/released to the public domain if the company goes bankrupt or the product line gets sunsetted.

This is surgery, these are peoples lives. These are their organs. People that make executive decisions like this are subhuman scum.
PC104, it's everywhere used in exactly these kinds of applications

No, they trick you. You type apt install firefox and it installs the snap. That, the changing of my words, is why I'm seeking a new home.
The web platform keeps growing which is concerning ... but things like this make a lot of sense. Popovers are omnipresent, but you typically need a library (or buggy custom code).
Pretty sure its a dell bug, because it happened to my dell laptop running windows as well.
>Everyone's trying to train GPT models to write code, but maybe we should be training them how to use a debugger. Though its a lot harder to map text generation to debugging...

We can actually try this now. Literally tell the LLM what you want to do and work with it. See how far you can take it. You will of course be asking the LLM for debug line inputs and you will be providing it with outputs as you run the debugger yourself.
But why?

Does the price vary and you don't want customers to know they got different deals? Or you don't want competitors to know?
Ask HN: How to Spyware?
I'm having trouble finding resources dedicated towards spywaring people. I merely cannot use any search engine to figure out "how to spyware". I'm met with spyware removal products and guides, all of which are useless given that spyware is so pervasive in the digital age. Google search engine results are always fixed for keywords like "spyware" or "rootkits".

It's normal to spyware people, yet I cannot find a single technical resource dedicated towards educating people on the very lifeblood of the internet: surveillance. If anyone wants to help me keep the spirit of Paul Graham's Hacker News alive please educate me on exactly how to conduct spyware? I am a newbie when it comes to this and, after all, this is HACKER News. This isn't fluff; I am genuinely having trouble educating myself on exactly how to conduct surveillance using spyware.
You are fixated on the current state of the art, when the first couple of time derivatives are what actually matter. The assertion in question is already true in a limited sense, and it's only going to go in one direction from here.
I like how Wolfram is actually hacking with LLMs instead of giving uninformed or minimally informed diatribes about them like most of the other pundits. I mean he did that a little bit too, but at least he is also doing some interesting things like this one.
Impact site of the Hakuto-R M1 Lunar Lander has been found
Fully agree. I run such a site too.

For an individual, an informational website like that has little value which is why donations or payments do not work. But some communities are so large that the total value that the sites provide is significant. Ads are the best tool to capture this value.

Without ads, there'd be much fewer sites for gaming communities because hosting and maintaining them for free is too expensive.
This is a very general issue in computing. You could make many of the same arguments about a web app running on a computer and all the involved modules (graphics, networking, JS VM, app code itself, etc). We have abstractions and interfaces that enforce separations of concerns, which give us many desireable properties, but at the same time there's an attraction, especially for performance in exchange for modularity, to do some "layering violations" to take advantage of knowledge of unexposed internals of other modules.

I think one way around it and to have the cake but eat it too would be to enable some whole-system program transformations, a bit like what unikernels have started nibbling at the edges of.
You are technically correct (best kind of correct) however, in reality, I see folks using L2 tunnels to solve for bonjour etc all the time. Usually those without networking knowledge to solve the forwarding.

A monograph on law gave an overview effect on software licensing/patents yet to be decided by a judge at the end of the line, and then Oracle lost to Google over Java.
>There's really no reason to watch 1080p instead of 4K

Yes there is. For one, 90% of non-native 4K is absolute crap. Upscales tend to bludgeon detail even compared to 480p/i sources, and DNR is rather crap, especially on the intense settings companies typically use.

Native 4k can be better, but there’s still so many mastering options that it still causes problems. See Star Wars, LotR, Terminator 2 as all rather controversial 4K releases.
My colleguage Andrew wrote the bare-metal part. I believe he picked the micro:bit board because it's readily available around the world. It also has a lot of fun sensors (microphone, rudimentary speaker, compass, ...). I'm sure there are other boards around, but so far people seem very happy with this board in our classroom training.

The only slight problem is the noise when 30 boards are powered on at once :-D They ship with an elaborate demo program which plays sounds and blinks the LEDs when you start it up.

I also did the SRN 4 as a passenger and subsequently "cabbed" the flight deck when it wound up in a museum. Grandad of an offspring's schoolchum took us round the collection out of hours.

He used to fly them (and emphatically said they were flown and he was captain and captain-pilot. There was a turf war between the civil aviation authority and the maritime regulator over who had primacy, depending on if the skirt was lifting or it was floating on the sea) and wound up both volunteering at the museum, and driving end of life (normal) boats up onto cox's harbour mudflats for manual wrecking: a heartbreaking job for a seafaring man.

It SHOULD be law and legally binding, though, as it provides greater protection for human rights than the US Constitution does, by far.
The "Cuban Missile Crisis" started with the USA attempting to forward-deploy its nuclear arsenal in Turkey.

Seems everyone forgets the US' forward-deployment doctrine whenever its inconvenient to mention it ..
Bah, this is just another example of how Americans' can be convinced to buy their own doom by packaging it as exceptionalism instead.

Human rights supersede citizenship, which is as it should be - especially for those human beings who want to exercise their rights while not being citizens of any state, whether by choice or by war, etc.

Non-citizens are humans too, and therefore have the same rights citizens do.
This stuck out to me too, glad someone else noticed it. Just in case people aren't aware, the law of large numbers is a phenomenon related to repeated random experiments, saying that the incidence rate of any particular event will tend towards the probability of that event. Referencing it in this context is a total non-sequitor.

Streamlined C# Development on Linux: Embracing Open Source Simplicity
As a self-proclaimed Linux enthusiast who appreciates the virtues of open source and streamlined architectures, I recently delved into the world of C# programming. To my delight, I discovered that C# exhibits a remarkably clean and neat syntax, resonating with my affinity for simplicity. Now, I find myself contemplating the feasibility of developing C# applications on Linux. My curiosity has led me to ponder the installation process for the C# compiler and runtime, as well as the availability of plain and straightforward command-line tools that can replace the feature-rich Visual Studio. In an attempt to gather insights from the developer community, I would love to hear your opinions on the convenience and practicality of C# development with Linux.

I am kind of guy that prefer simple command line to build the project instead of configuring many options in Visual Studio window.
"The Language Instinct", by language psychologist Steven Pinker, gave me a new way of thinking about the old nature/nurture issue.

The easy solution has always been to say "Nature? Nurture? It's a bit of both". But really, that invites the response: "Both nature and nurture? Sure. Of course. But both of them in what way?"

In the case of language it's really interesting. It seems that biologically, we are very very strongly primed to learn language ("nature"). And to learn it in certain ways and at certain life stages.

But of course, at the same, the language or languages that we learn are incredibly diverse, and these differences do not map in any way to the physical differences between our bodies ("nurture").

So, in the case of human language, that's "the how" for how nature and nurture come together. Maybe it applies to other areas too where the nature/nurture debate still rages.
I’m saying instead of emulating the AI pressing buttons on a calculator, just a plug a calculator into its brain.

Yeah I file opposition to singular they in the same place as ending sentences with prepositions or splitting infinitives. Something for pedants to get worked up over without really understanding the issue.
Standardized exams measure intrinsic ability, not racial or SES privilege
Copilot does a decent job with "dumb" unit tests, e.g. "when the condition X is Y then Z".

But it obviously doesn't have knowledge of your domain, and I don't think any LLM could do a perfect job without that.
Interesting, so it appears that you advocate expanding contractors and then firing them over full-time employment like with Apple.. I think it's likely we'll move to that environment naturally.
> For the record Kim Kardashian passed the bar;

While I know the wider point you're trying to make, Kim Kardashian is a very smart business person. She may just not fit your narrow definition of "intelligent".
The problem is worse. Those in power actually benefit from such booms in form of performance bonuses.

They may have a bad year or two as the markets crash. However, a crash gives new opportunities for growth, and associated performance bonuses.
And when BTC Transaction fees climb to $30, like they did a couple of weeks ago, then what? We just stop transacting?

Centralized exchanges are a natural result of the absurd transaction fees that the BTC community refuses to fix. If it costs $30 to make a transaction, it makes more sense to centralize and perform off-chain transfers of BTC.

Even today, where the BTC Transaction fee has dropped to "only" $3.60 / transaction, many natural uses of BTC are simply priced out. At least... using a hardware wallet is priced out. A centralized exchange which performs off-chain transactions doesn't have to pay of course.

------------

The price of Magic the Gathering Black Lotus just keeps rising higher and higher as well. But no one actually plays with the card in practice. Similarly, since BTC transaction fees are denominated in... BTC... the higher the BTC price, the higher the transaction fee, and the less likely everyone is to use the base system.

Seems like lose-lose over the long term. The only ones who want to buy BTC are speculators. Everyone who wants to "use" it for transactions is priced out, or rug pulled.

It doesn't have to be like this by the way. But its like this because the community doesn't care.

> Price (in the long run) is all that matters.

The Yen is 1/100th, or less, than the Dollar. No one doubts that Japan is still an economic power.

As far as currencies go, I think people care about the number of transactions. How much trade occurs with the currency? There's also a desire to keep prices consistent, rather than going up or down over time (too much inflation, and too much deflation, is both bad. A balance of keeping prices steady is best).

With regards to the Stock Market, companies mostly care about IPOs and SPOs, how many $Billions they can raise by selling stock. Trade volume is kind of a side-show, and even price is a side-show and easily manipulated (see BRK.A shares, which are overpriced on purpose... by having fewer shares control a larger % of the company)
I go to the trouble of making my own unique gifs and uploading them to Giphy with uncommon keywords, and six months later you still can't find them in the search. How are new gifs supposed to become popular if they never get surfaced to the users?
> Unsurprisingly, my relationship with TikTok’s press office was tense. Though I was unaware of it, at the same time TikTok was pushing back on reports of a toxic workplace, several employees had decided to surveil my phone, tracking my location in hopes of finding my sources.

And as you can imagine, the follow up questions by the author about the incident were not answered.

This is not the same as Google or Facebook, or any other giants spying on people.

If it was really merely some TikTok's employees' own decision, then just like it's working atmosphere, it's culture is toxic.

Now? Copyright law is broken for decades. My 2 cents that it's part of the whole government/technology lag, lawmakers are decades behind in terms of what they know, their whole perspective is skewed
hard to use the model without
reproducing (copying) it

Can you link to a source that backs up this line of thought? It is not how I understand copyright law. AFAIK it is not about you making a copy for yourself. It is about person A copying content person B has the copyright to and then giving it to person C. That's why the license talks about "sharing".

The way I understand it, what A does with their copy of the content does not fall under the copyright law.
First time I've heard of anti-requirements, though it seems I've kinda used them albeit more directly. For example I'll just ask "I assume the description does not depend on the price, is that assumption correct?"

Another thing I've noticed is that stakeholders mostly think about the everyday stuff and thus can forget about edge cases. I've been in several projects where "never ever" turned out to mean a few times a year. Feels like asking about such anti-requirements like in the article could be very prone to this.

On another note, the example used in the article feels contrived. Like why such a denormalized shopping cart entity to begin with?

It also misses an obvious requirement, that the customer should get the quantity paid for. Or at least describe how to handle properly updating cloned attributes like Quantity. Ie what if one of the systems fails to update an increase in Quantity?

> We wanted to contribute upstream our patches for SQLite, as we were heavily relying on libsqlite for our tests of PHP.wasm with WordPress and Drupal.
Exactly. I switched from Ubuntu to Debian somewhere around 2008 and barely noticed any difference. Before Ubuntu I briefly used Mandriva and, indeed, it had all kinds of custom control panels; Ubuntu was very vanilla in comparison.

I still have Ubuntu CDs from shipit somewhere.
Even if that’s true, which I’m very skeptical of, the TSA has little to do with that. The armored and locked cockpit doors? Sure. Air marshals? Possibly.

But the TSA has absolutely no bearing on whether or not a plane gets hijacked. It is far too easy to circumvent.

Well, you can use it to access SQLite files in WASM runners, of course. So you get a portable, platform-independent piece of code that can run anywhere.

Although it was a bit of a surprise to see that they started out with the toy CLI tool that my self and Nicholas hacked on for a weekend (I wanted to be able to run SQLite commands in a-Shell, which is an excellent iPad CLI environment).
If we follow this (obvious as you say) line of thought, can you read the code while at work? Isn't that a use of the copy (your browser made) for commercial purposes?

I don't think this is what copyright is about. As far as I know, it is about sharing a copy with a third party. But I am happy to be corrected if someone has a link to a reputable source that says otherwise.
You're talking about a different usage than GP is. TFA explains the distinction:

> Garner tracks the evolution of the third-person-singular “they,” starting in the 1300s, when it sometimes referred to unspecified individuals. (It’s still used that way today in such sentences as “This style guide will enlighten the reader in ways they never expected.”) But only in the 21st century has “they” been applied to specific, often nonbinary, individuals—as in “Alex asked that they be given a promotion.” This usage, Garner notes, took off with the rise of the transgender-rights movement following Obergefell v. Hodges.

I did "lock down" drills all through my public education, but they never felt any more traumatic than a fire drill. I don't think school shootings are a defining feature of American life.
> For legal reasons, we could not contribute directly (their patches)

What were the legal reasons?
So far the official WASM support from the SQLite project have only targeted WASM in the browser with a JS API. If I follow correctly this is about working with the SQLite team to upstream WASI support, which will eventually enable official support for it, and hence WASM on the server/cloud/edge and other WASI complement runners.
The file of my desktop app is a SQLite db in disguise, I could use this to open these files in a web version of my app, I suppose. I know there is a javascript implementation of SQLite out there but maybe this has better performance.
Whataboutism: the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter-accusation or raising a different issue.

This is not what happened here - here, the issue was explained with an analagous, well-known issue. That issue was not being raised, it was used in an illustrative way.
Grounding in reality can be something as simple as what openai is experimenting with plugins or something much more integrated.

It's not a matter of which senses you have, but about being able to "continuously" use them.

The current LLMs are basically unfiltered raw thoughts that must be continuously refined. A similar thing happens in our brains and only a little bit of that is accessible to our consciousness
