Despite all the imperialism, Russians keep their wallets close. Western-aligned government (with expected rise in living standard) would've been an argument to stay in Ukraine, not to leave for Russia.

In grander scheme, I believe that to be among the among main reasons why Russia invaded Ukraine. Free, prosperous Ukraine would've become an alternative power center in the Russian-speaking world. Imagine if Ukraine had followed Poland post-1991 and had the same median wage nowadays, double the median wage in Russia, with free access to Western markets. That would simply drain Russia from talent, and undermine Putin's legitimacy and the power of all who surround him.

What would've been the reason to live or start a business in Russia if you could move to a country with very similar culture, do the same job, and earn multiples of what your potential in Russia would be capped to? All while enjoying better security in all aspects: economomic safety, personal safety from harm, rule of law, etc.

So clickbait to claim a faster algorithm when all it did was find a faster machine optimization for a particular CPU. It's fun/cool, but not the leap they seem to be representing.

I generally agree with your first paragraph, though flying can be very complex with things like falling tree limbs, gusty wind, undocumented aerial lines, bird strikes and hail - but not the second. Remote driver is a fundamentally broken paradigm owing to cost, latency and issues of network reliability.
Here on Long Island, everything is sepiatone, and it smells like a smokehouse.

But I also know that folks in California and Australia have been dealing with exactly this, for a long time. It's news, because it's happening to the Northeast US.

> 10 minutes of research makes it completely obvious they're endangering their core business.

It's not that obvious.

To me, at any rate, it's not at all obvious that reddit is in any danger of losing a significant number of their members.
Yes, it's Deno. What other limitations are you curious about besides the ones listed on the pricing page?
There is an experimental version for Chrome that does what it can, but many advertiser/tracker workarounds are not covered. One example is the CNAME trick: the website creates a CNAME subdomain and points it to the advertiser/tracker. I'm not sure what the current status of that is for Chrome (I use Firefox), but it certainly was effective against Manifest V3 blockers at some point.

As-per gorhill: uBlock works best on Firefox.
Show and tell doesn't always work as he describes it. You can go out and meet with people and describe what you want to build. It might work or it might not.

I've found it far more useful to meet with the target audience. Your sole goal is to find out if the problem exists and if its bad enough they're willing to pay to get it solved.

The Mom Test book is invaluable because whether you get truthful information or not depends on how you ask the questions. Like a lot of things in startups asking the right questions is counterintuitive.

There are generally two costs to compliance: actually compliance, and proving compliance. The latter is the concern in the EU. It's already gotten OpenAI in trouble in e.g. Italy. None of this means nobody should deploy LLMs in Europe. Just that there are unique costs that should be considered.
Is it limited to DX12 only or other versions are supported also?
Snowden is complicated.

Yes, the level of wiretapping and surveillance was bad. It should have been exposed.

However, that's not all he took. And those documents have had negative effects on U.S. operations and that of their allies.

I have my conjectures and speculations, but ultimately, I do not believe Snowden is completely in the right.
That's one of the signatures of a psychedelic experience. There's plenty of research on the subject, this study came up on a quick Google search.

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsptsci.0c00194

> Our position contrasts the idea that subjective effects of psychedelics may be irrelevant to their therapeutic effects.

> The meaning and significance attributed to psychedelic experiences has been well established in laboratory settings. Psilocybin administration studies have repeatedly shown that participants frequently rate their psychedelic experiences as among the most meaningful of their entire lives (5,6,8,16−19) and they are sometimes compared to the birth of a first-born child or death of a parent. Due to their salience, such experiences may serve as narrative “inflection points” in one’s life that could provide an impetus for changing one’s identification with certain patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Snowdens recent conversations around Russia and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have tinted or confirmed biases against Snowden as a traitor and stooge of the Russian government.

Wastewater surveillance is definitely highly useful and well-intended, but this brings up some troubling questions.

The obvious one being: To what extent could an arbitrary (non-infected) person's general whereabouts be tracked through municipal wastewater surveillance, given a large amount of resources?
And do you know what 'effective opinion control' is used for?

For controlling natural resources and destroying ideology that doesn't align with the flavour of the season.

> COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Viral researchers believe someone in central Ohio has been infected with COVID-19 for at least two years, and they want to find that person.

I believe this is why various lockdown strategies didn't work to eliminate COVID, even in very authoritarian places which can effectively enforce the lockdowns.

All it takes is one person to have a persistent 'forever infection' like this, and you will never eliminate the disease from your country. Even if you lock down with no person to person contact for months, as soon as you end the lockdown the disease will appear.

The only way to eliminate the disease would have been to lockdown for a while, identify all 'forever infected' people and imprison them for life, and close your borders to outsiders forever.

It's against the guidelines to point out moderation decisions.

But it's relevant to the point I'm making.

This is a thoughtful, carefully-worded argument that has been repeatedly upvoted and downvoted (the downvotes seem to come in pairs -- admin action?)

The moderation of this comment allows anonymous people, lurking in the shadows, to make decisions about what other people read, with no accountability or consequence.

It is forbidden to talk about the moderation decisions, yet the moderation game mechanic is, in 2023, no longer fit-for-purpose, given the new realities of the political climate. The moderation mechanic is the story, and is no longer able to provide fair, reasonable, accountable crowdsourced moderation. A relic of less polarized times.

Prophecy: Hacker News will either change, or perish. The usual deal, presented to organisms and organizations alike.

Preserving its heirloom-varietal forum interface into the coming decade will be popular (in a decade increasingly stricken with nostalgia,) but also lethal.

Thus, I predict the demise of Hacker News.

The website will of course persist for as long as it remains useful to Y Combinator, but as the natural center-of-gravity for all of tech culture? Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei.
Another thing I've noticed is Spotify's listing of many 'remastered' tracks. That's fine, except that they often no longer make the original track unavailable. The remastered tracks are much 'smoother' among other things, but to me sound very homogeneous, blending in with everything else and lacking character.
> Get over yourself.

What?

I'm not talking about Steam on Mac. Why would Apple help Valve get games working on Steam? If Apple would help, the expectation would be that those games end up in the App Store.
I can second this. With your demo you proved interest. However you now need to ascertain if there is enough 'paying interest'.
> Next word prediction IS reasoning

I can write a program in less than 100 lines that can do next work prediction and I guarantee you it's not going to be reasoning.

Note that I'm not saying LLMs are or are not reasoning. I'm saying "next word prediction" is not anywhere near sufficient to determine if something is able to reason or not.
Are we doing emotional arguments again? This very thread is a reminder of how that went w.r.t the Nordstream. However little you think Russia had to lose, Ukraine had less
LLMs are like Dwight from The Office. [1] They are so committed to diegesis ("the bit" if you prefer) - any diegesis - that if you build a cage made of arbitrary rules (or in this case, paint a door on the wall of your cell like a cartoon) they jump into it with their whole being and inhabit that space.

Tl;Dw Jim is able to thwart Dwight by inventing a committee on the spot, and despite it's impromptu nature and his disdain for Jim, he feels obliged to abide by the rulings of the committee.

There is only one Steve Jobs. The rest of us are better off talking to customers first. That thinking (transformative idea... which generally amounts to nothing more than 'X of Y'), is why most startups fail.
Completely absurd what reactions you get when you point up obvious facts, like immigration increasing demand for housing.

This is especially true for cities, as that is where migrants obviously want to go and where new construction is much harder.
Pretending that it is somehow not the case, is making things just worse and worse.
What's with Russian content popping up in the hackernews today?
> No, but it is an offer that would have made him safe if he was smuggled there.

I don't think anyone is arguing that if he magically had the ability to be smuggled somewhere wouldn't then have options. But there's no evidence to suggest he had that ability.

The fact that Assange said "hey do you think you would want to smuggle Snowden out on your plane" and Venezuela said "nah, I'm not really looking for ways to piss of Russia and the US simultaneously" does not constitute an opportunity.

"not especially healthy"

Our knowledge of what is healthy is spotty at best, but plenty of countries that eat a lot of ham and cheese (France, Spain, Italy) are fairly OK health-wise, so it certainly seems to indicate that there is nothing seriously wrong about either.

Ask HN: Seeking computers for kids programming class
My school bought new windows laptops designed “for education” and they are trash. They demand a microsoft account to sign in, don’t let you install programs (even as admin), restart in the middle of class for updates, barely enough resources to boot, CONSTANTLY harass students about oneDrive, the weather, updates, security, news, web browsers, games, and other microsoft crap. I’m sure they were expensive.

Maybe my mistake was connecting the computers to wifi, or I should have tried to put linux on them.

But I’m looking for suggestions for computers, could have linux (or windows xp?) pre-installed, don’t need a lot of processing power, needs a screen and USB ports (for keyboard/mouse), power supply, a couple GBs of extra storage, don’t even need wifi or a battery... on a budget. I’d rather not have to assemble/flash each one. There must be 100 different small companies or non-profits making something like this?
The mirror universe is fascist, and sexist and racist.

The normal one, well, everything is shown to be run by a military organization, Starfleet, ranging from exploration to first contact and diplomacy. Federation ambassadors are portrayed as spoiled, clueless clows. All while attributing Starfleet a clear moral superiority.

And even shows like DS9, the Maquis angle hints at some moral dilema regarding the occupied colonies, show that obedience, following orders and some higher moral principle trump whatever pro-Maquis Starfleet personl might think. Because after all, if the heros ignore protocol or orders they never stabd against Starfleet. Overall, it is pretty militaristic in nature.
>As soon as that becomes viable, they'll act to keep people on OSX.

If you think that (even with a fully parity with say Ubuntu on Intel Asahi) people would move to Linux on their Mac on any number enough to even raise an eyebrow (much less worry) Apple, you are delluding yourself.

People buy Macs to run macOS. A very tiny minority buys Macs to run Linux on. A slightly larger (but still insignificant) minority will convert an old Mac laying around to Linux.

It's enough to get a project like Asahi support, not enough to make even a 1% dent on Apple's software/services ecosystem bottom line (the hardware side is the same, as those people are still buying a Mac anyway).
Right to moral objection.

The federal credit is nonrefundable. In the case of CA at least it appears you could have enough tax to get the full credit while still being under the income cap. In other states such as PA it's likely not possible to have enough tax to get the full federal credit while also qualifying for the state credit.

This is a pretty weird headline. Why single out one car at random, and not even the car with the most impressive discount? Even after these rebates the Model 3 is still kind of pricey. The Chevy Bolt goes for $11,500 if the customer can claim the full rebate, which is a ridiculously low price for any new car.

It makes random apps much less likely to be dangerous.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36086537 is an analogous case. When the primary provider of free domains names went away, there was a HUGE reduction in phishing websites. Those types would spin up thouands of sites on xyz, vip and similar TLDs faster than the white hats could whackamole them.

A domain going from $0 to $10 vastly curtailed that activity. You don't have to make something impossible, you just have to make it not cost effective to shot gun it.

> But on a practical level, that's just wildly unlikely to ever happen or ever have an impact on a normal person's life, so why stress about it?

Even assuming that's true for an ordinary person, which I don't think it is, let's consider what constitutes an ordinary person. Maybe it has no effect - if you never run for office. Or if you never participate in a political campaign. Or if you never challenge the political status quo with direct action. Or if you never run a business and express views that could be viewed as potentially threatening the status quo. Et cetera. In other words, it's fine if we're controlled as long as you're ok being controlled. But if you think, "I'd like things to be different," you're in danger, because the police and other government orgs know everything about you.
For those glad about this change, it's not a "need" to use iOS or MacOS beta for any business reason, it's just the desire to live on the bleeding edge and experience new features first, even if that means crashes and instability. In addition, feedback submissions for betas are high priority and I usually get a reply within a month or so for them.
That's fair, but it would have to shift quite a bit still to get to the point where the marginal source would be a different one. Typically this is to all of the producers benefit (including the solar ones) so they tend to keep those most expensive sources alive at all costs.

Snap pays top of the market for their talent, but their management team is as fake as the plastic surgery in LA. Applicants beware!

Not at all. I neither think you should up your opsec nor avoid posting. I think you should be unabashed of what you have to say. I also think you should hear out others doing the same, generously and in good faith.

That tiny minority who harass and abuse queer people today? That used to be virtually everybody, all the time, everywhere you'd go.

The only reason queer rights are where they are today is because people weren't afraid to speak up, even when they had every right to be. When coming out meant admitting to criminal acts - proclaiming them in public, no less. Had they not put themselves out there - had they refused to speak to those that didn't already agree with them - this would be a much darker world, and your definition of 'unsafe' would be a lot more visceral.

People used to march, faces out in the open, in their small towns, for their rights, past neighbours who hated them. That's what 'unsafe for queer people' means. I'm just never going to be able to see 'people disagree with me online sometimes' as being in any way comparable.

Why not both? With rooftop, you further accelerate the growth of renewables, and you get the benefit of not being beholden to regulatory capture and corrupt central authorities when they decide to do something stupid with the central power supply, and you also build up resilience in the grid with less single points of failure.

It’s not hard to see why, with the emergence (ha) of OpenAI, Midjourney and all of this generative modelling, what has DeepMind done? I imagine the execs at Google are asking them some very probing questions on their mediocre performance over the last 5 years.

Industrial combustion turbines have been available for decades that burn hydrogen (in waste gases from various industrial processes, and also in jet engines adapted to burn hydrogen). It's just a matter of designing a combustor that works with the gas. This is known to be a solvable problem. If a particular high end gas turbine that's available today doesn't yet have a hydrogen combustor, that just means this solvable problem has to again be solved in this case.
