Tesla's IR claims are broadly consistent with general sentiment. If you have something substantive to share I'm genuinely interested. But just throwing "how do you know" around as a substitute for an actual argument is just sad and tired.

Yes, and? This sounds like a case of clumsiness, not malice.

By all means, withdraw, but why the need to publicly shame?
Why does PAM have sessions? I thought it was a layer of indirection over whether you’re using a password file or NIS or LDAP to verify passwords.
This is pawsome! Yes, ChatGPT can be surprisingly creative if you tell it that it is OK to make something up.

Whenever I see a Standard ML article/paper, it always reminds me that I still need to learn OCaml. Not that one is better than the other, just that I've not gotten around to learning OCaml yet.
That seems implausible. There's only one way for the sender of a DMCA takedown notice to get in serious trouble, and that's by lying about being authorized by the copyright holder to send DMCA notices over their works:

> 17 U.S. Code §512(c)(3)(A)(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Is there a name for the phenomenon where people who understand a concept don't talk about it because it isn't important or relevant, but people who don't understand think it's a big deal?
Many people agree but don't have the resources or are risking too much if they try.

If you think you can make a difference, the world will welcome you.
Back your claim. Apply the same methodology and metric to all the charging providers in the world, because remember your claim is that "nobody has been able to compete with Tesla with >99% uptime".

You set the benchmark so prove it. And if you can't do that then admit you don't know what you're talking about.
I wouldn't call this fundamentally creative, rather a reworking of existing themes. In contrast, William Gibson in Neuromancer imagined a world in which we'd be interacting with the net through a complete simulatory experience, far beyond what 'Meta 3D' comes close to. Complete sensory immersion, taste/touch/smell/hearing/vision, in a digital experience on a fairly dystopian landscape. Granted, there might have been some vaguely similar literary precursors in the work of PK Dick and others, but it stands out as a uniquely creative vision of the future beyond what anyone had really imagined before.

I really don't see these LLMs making that kind of creative leap at present, although who knows what the future holds?
>What is it about Rust that attracts so much drama like this?

Well, one has to ask whether Rust actually has "more" drama than average, or if it just tends to be more public. I lean towards the latter. I mean, people have gotten into shouting matches that nearly escalated to fistfights at CPP conferences, but that all happens behind closed doors.

If employee wages are a large part of the rising costs, then perhaps the cost of living for living in SF is too high. The cost of living is too high because rent is too high.

Since there is so much political contention to building more housing, there is no chance that housing prices will decrease (nobody wants to see their property lose value).

Now they are complaining about the problem they caused?!?

I don't know if this is ironic, justified or just funny. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
I used Vivaldi on and off over the past few years, but I've been using FF full time since late last year. Vivaldi eventually starting slowing way down for some reason. Startup took nearly 10 seconds, when it used to be < 3. Not sure what did it. It may be due to the chrome (UI) as it's a very heavy custom CSS solution.

Also their address bar behavior was way different than Chrome or FF, and it kept messing me up.

It might be better now, they've had many updates since I last used it. Might give it another go, now that FF is doing this stuff.
Why are all the comments deleted on that thread, and why is it locked?
What even is the point of emulators being legal if they have to tiptoe around the whims of companies like Nintendo? People have the right to run their software after the hardware required to run it has been discontinued, and emulators are the way to do that.

That Nintendo is overly litigious because they want to make easy money rereleasing their classics on every new console generation forever doesn't mean they can stomp over that right, and emulators should be free to distribute themselves how they wish.
Not quite - the talk was always a keynote, and that was agreed on by all. The author was told he'd been nominated to give a keynote, and agreed to do so. He does say he had "attempted to weasel out".

Later, for very unclear reasons and in a poorly communicated way, it was downgraded to a regular talk. The author is incredibly offended by both the act and the lack of direct communication about it and wants nothing to do with the organizers or conference any more.

A student who normally wouldn't cheat is not going to go site designing for cheaters, and would not be searching for their finals there. Heck, in my entire college carrier I didn't even know such sites existed.

If professor (or TA) made announcement along the lines of "Don't go to Quizlet and don't download my past exams from there", maybe you'd have a point.. but they did not.

You people are self-serious while naive, and it is going to be hilarious watching you watch how this ends. I hope that we get to see it together.
This is also the impression I got from the original post, and it seems deeply overblown and silly. Somebody correct me on this, but I don't think anybody in, like, the whole world cares whether a RustConf talk is a normal talk or a "keynote". The keynotes at the conferences I'm connected to tend, notoriously, to be the weakest at the event (no surprise, since there's no refereeing process to get them in).

yep, being a kid iterested in tech and having parents, that are not, is probably a huge pain... internet at home and a computer.. sure... giving your credit card info to your kid for some name on the internet? No way s/he's getting that.

Having a free option (and dynamic dns, and possibly even a free virtual machine somewhere) makes a lot of learning and experimenting possible for kids.
It’s an expensive theory to test. I would imagine most OSS projects or their contributors are not in a financial position to get to court, let alone see the trial to a conclusion.

1. Destroy your tax base by turning your city into a lawless hell hole / homeless paradise.

2. ???

3. Profit.
I must disagree. There are many examples of mathematical concepts that are much harder to learn than they need to be due to bad choices of names.

One we have discussed here on HN many times is the names of "real" and "imaginary" numbers which not only fail to shed any light on the things being studied but are positively misleading. There are plenty of other cases, from the many overloaded meanings of "multiplication" to things like open and closed sets (where a set can be one, or both or neither)

Therefore since it's clear that maths could be significantly easier even in English if we just improved the terminology, it follows that it might already be that easy (or even easier still) in some other language.

It might be a universal language, but there's only one way to get it into your head and that is by getting information in a language you already speak. And while all human languages may be equivalent, the words and phrases that have been fixed for explaining maths concepts do not have to be equivalent.

* Dwindling customer base as people find stores understaffed (thanks, "strategic" layoffs!), understocked, or both and give up and turn to online shopping.

This is something that often gets missed in the “Why can’t Nintendo be more like Sega?” argument.

Nintendo sells games from other publishers, Sega doesn’t. Other publishers get mad if Nintendo can’t keep piracy on their platform under control. They send angry letters, complain to their representatives, and so forth. It’s not just (arguably) lost sales, but now you have to deal with more cheating players. To Nintendo, piracy is an embarrassment. Nintendo files DMCAs, in part, because other publishers expect them to and because only Nintendo can.

Some great SaaS you've experienced. I've been at 1s that say they want it yesterday but then realize it's too much work (already in the cloud) and just let it go until the next outage and complain again but yet again nothing gets done.
That's what advocate and civil rights organizations are for. I bet the likes of the EFF would be very interested in taking this case. It aligns with their incentives to take down the DMCA.

Agreed - the ‘fruit of the poisonous tree’ doctrine is very similar IMO. Making it possible to use evidence collected illegally means they’ll just do that all the time. So make it useless, so they’ll actually follow the rules.

ChatGPT versus engineering education assessment: a benchmarking and analysis
First of all, I genuinely wish him well. He's an extremely talented developer, and we need more people focused on securing our digital infrastructure. My sentiments mirror what others here have said, hoping he can work his way through recovery and growth to be in a better place down the road. And if there really has been crazy stuff like swatting, that punishment is dealt to the perpetrators.

However, in his role leading a project that ostensibly wanted people to use it, he had a very offputting set of personality characteristics that worked against that goal. He was very opinionated and often condescending, frequently stating opinion as fact and being shallowly dismissive. I'm not talking about arguing with people asking that he add shiny baubles, but just generally almost annoyed the person he was talking to didn't realize the obviousness of their own stupidity in not seeing it his way.

Then, he had a gigantic victim complex where any comment that could be perceived as negative whatsoever was seen by him as some grave personal slight deliberately intended to hurt him. It wasn't sufficient for him to explain why he thought others were wrong. It was frequently accompanied by accusations of bad faith, of potential coordination with others trying to take him down, etc. It came across as hysteria. Not to mention the needless aggression with the Calyx developers, etc.

A few years ago, the IRC channel had a lot of this victimization and desperation-type content from him. It got to a point I was uncomfortable using GrapheneOS out of concern for the leadership and prospects of support.

It used to be Theo de Raadt of OpenBSD and to some extent Linus were benchmarks for "prickly" open source leaders, but I think Daniel gave them all quite a run for the money.

It's good that despite all that, Daniel managed to find some developers he could get along with and the contributor base grew beyond him. Here's to hoping the new leadership team steadies the ship and manages not to be so hostile to the community.

Edit to add: looking over the [2] link from parent, it's clear he did provide a lot of thoughtful, helpful answers as well, so I wouldn't want to downplay the great deal of good for which he's responsible. We're significantly better off that something like GrapheneOS exists.
Submitting a DMCA takedown request does not require any authentication beyond a declaration that you're telling the truth. Anyone can do it, even over a Tor connection.
Has anyone faced consequences as a result?
Because the last time it was litigated in the US, the good guys won. But SCEA v. Bleem was over 20 years ago, and there's no guarantee that the courts won't roll back protections for emulation development.

NoA is notoriously vindictive & litigious, and they have more money than the Dolphin devs. Even though Sony lost the case, the lawsuit ruined Bleem. It's not outside the realm of possibility that Nintendo will try to do the same thing to Dolphin, Ryujinx, Yuzu, etc.
"Install something else" is ... a nice idea?

But it's simply not realistic.

Examples:

- Embedded devices that may or may not have an internet connection

- Government classified networks that aren't allowed to grab ANY random software off of the internet

- Simply not wanting to add another dependency to an operation.

I'm a former Lua fan. I've ... written it off at this point. [1]

Honestly if I were to take the approach you describe, I'd likely instead have the shell script only look at the architecture and then choose one of 2-3 precompiled Go binaries. Talk about simple and fast...and the binaries could be hosted behind a firewall somewhere.

Or maybe I was thinking of it wrong. Just embed the various Go binaries into a tar file embedded right in the shell script[2], and choose the right one based on architecture. Done. :)

I don't really think that's quite correct.

To someone reading (or authoring) a document, the end state/goal is having that string of text visible and formatted well enough. They don't care about DOM objects.

The main reason we use HTML is not because people enjoy DOM-traversal or parsing or abstract syntax trees. It's because a little markup in your strings can make them format nicely and make it easy to link to and embed other stuff like images, video, and audio.

String templating/interpolation is the goal.
Absolutely not. Nowhere did I say if we can't catch "everyone" then catch no one. I literally gave an example of catching 85% as good policy. 50% is more than fine too, and even much lower depending on the situation.

In fact, it's the very opposite -- I said if we're already catching almost nobody (think 1%) then incentives have been set up in a deeply unfair way.

I added an "edit" to my comment that hopefully explains further. The point is to deter broadly. If that's not happening, then policy is total failure already. Because the point is deterrence, not individual cruelty.
I have been in one commuting accident, plenty of non-commuting accidents though (mountain biking etc.), but you can also fall down stairs while walking or slip up in the rain. We can't be shrinkwrapped everywhere we go. I just picked up my bike, said bummer that hurt, and kept going.

Compare that painful inconvenience to a car accident and it's just silly to call an e-bike dangerous.

I have been in 4 car accidents, and am lucky to be here. You step out from a totalled car, and see the carnage, distress and mess that everyone is now subject to. Traffic has to be redirected, cops show up to take down details of those still alive, EMTs try to find the ways you've been contorted, firemen have to disable the vehicle and clear any fuel and fire risk, the tow trucks scrape the husks of twisted metal off the street so people can use the road again. It's a whole ordeal, and regularly fatal.

Although there are exceptions, usually bike accidents are only fatal when a car was involved. Cars are not safe and never have been, we just accept the risk for the convenience.
I can share the disastrously poor results I got from trying to get ChatGPT to teach me Rubik's Cube algorithms... really bad, for some reason.

Q: "Again, that is incorrect. A z-axis rotation leaves the front and back positions unaltered. Please try again."

> "Apologies for the continued confusion. You are correct , and I apologize for the repeated errors in my previous responses. Let's provid the correct explanation of a z-axis rotation:

During a z-axis rotation, the front (F), back (B), right (R), and left (L) faces are affected, while the top (U) and bottom (D) faces remain unchanged. Here's how the faces are affected during a z-axis rotation:

The right face (R) becomes the front face (F).
The front face (F) becomes the left face (L).
The left face (L) becomes the back face (B).
The back face (B) becomes the right face (R).
The top (U) and bottom (D) faces remain in the same position.

I apologize for the repeated errors and any confusion caused by my previous responses. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your understanding."

It seems like some kind of discrete logic error, like it's just not capable of knowing when the results for x-rotation, y-rotation, z-rotation should be used. Sometimes it gets it right, but only about 1/3 of the time.
The problem of these articles is that they lean too far into kicking SF while it’s down, since it felt so invincible before.

Same kind of journalism happened in the early 2000s.

The problem is that they don’t recognize cyclicality.

Arguably the most important startup in decades is headquartered there, the CEO is stating remote work is a mistake, and the CTO is regularly calling SF the best place to start an AI startup.

SF will still face problems but a lot of this fiscal hand wringing will likely appear foolish in hindsight.
