I think you are forgetting that the "modern society" you are familiar with is not ubiquitous and in our present moment there are many people that lead completely different lives than you. If you are not ignorant of this, then you are supposing that no one in a different circumstance may prefer it and fight for it.
Synthesis parameter of molten salt nanofluids for solar TES applications
That article captured the imagination of the public, but has been derided by any and every cyber security professional worth their salt almost from day dot.

Despite this, Bloomberg have refused to retract it or supply any credible sources, presumably because and continues to draw traffic.
The first justification in the article is silly and detracts from Nature's position: "we all need to know the sources of data and images, so that these can be verified as accurate and true"

How do you verify whether this cartoon illustration of of stacks of money against a red background is "accurate and true"?

https://media.nature.com/lw767/magazine-assets/d41586-023-01...

Would it have made a difference if that image were generated by Midjourney?

The actual reasons, given later in the article, are that Nature is taking a political/legal position on copyright and privacy. That's fine by me, but it's disappointing that they give a misleading and nonsensical justification before the actual justification, as if to make their stance sound less political.
It’s a one week ban I believe.
I think you are mixing soft skills with social skills. To me, social means you are good at chit-chat,watercooler talk, going to lunches, parties, events,etc... i.e.: a social person is what oldschool hr people mean when they say "can I strike a conversation with this person in a line at the airport or starbucks".

What you are talking about imo is "soft skills", being able to work with others and communicate well. You can have great softskills and also have terrible table manner or bad emotional-intelligence.

I am 100% with you on technical-skills only being a bad thing. But you can communicate and do all those things you mentioned virtually. You can ping someone and just chat with them about stuff without taking them to lunch, dinner or walking up to their cubicle/desk and interrupting them.

Look at open work areas for example, even before covid, I and many others were screaming in pain over them. Out brains are just wired different. Extroverts tend to become managers and founders and refuse to consider that others think and function differently.

Look at most opensource projects, did people sit around in an office to code them? Was there a Linux kernel developers office somewhere? Then paulg's point is invalid.

But here is the thing - is that Reddit's actions will hurt traffic to places like IMGUR for quite some time...

So by cutting off 3rd party access to Reddit API, they cull traffic reflected from reddit at pretty much every goddamn egress link from reddit's billion-user-base.
This points out a major issue with IPMI and "management engine" components on motherboards. If a vulnerability is found at the lower levels, you may have to replace the hardware. Vendors may be more reluctant to put that stuff in if it leads to legal liability.
> Bigger overhead for AAA games is likely due to emulation of DirectX or Vulkan on Metal, but that's just Apple's stubborn choice to have it that way.

This is a weird take. None of he major gaming platforms use the same graphics API.

Microsoft has DirectX on Windows and XBox, Apple has Metal on iOS and Macs, Sony has Gnmx on Playstation.

It's like saying Android gaming is terrible because they didn't use DirectX.
Nope. The MacOS Dock is a direct-line descendent of the NeXTstep Dock, which dates from 1988 and predates CDE by five years.

It doesn’t need to be. Forums can just be unfriendly to people who don’t meet the standards for discussion. They can do this overtly, through moderation that shoves out low value contributors, or more subtly through design choices and cultural factors that discourage low tier posting.
Thank you for perfect and deep analysis. One point to add is that ‘multiculturalism’ of russia is designed to destroy and slowly wipe out any traces of any national culture.

First russians did when they occupied some territory of Ukraine is to remove and prohibit Ukranian language.

It is as similar to Nazi as could be except the name. Their ideology is to slowly remove any nation russia controls and claim them to be russians. Rise children as russians and kill nation if it doesn’t obey. Literally.

We can argue if it’s new form of Nazi or not but perhaps it’s much worse.

Most of my typos of this sort come from turning auto correct off, because I do not like it rewriting my language when it guesses a word completely wrong.
Quota management is indeed nonsensical. We serve large cash assistance programs that have stampedes of people applying all at once where we needed decent geocoding to determine eligibility. We were exceeding the default 50qps quota. I asked nicely (to double it, I think) and explained our use case and they said... no.

So... we left and switched to Smarty and haven't looked back since. We spend tens of thousands on geocoding annually. Really mind-boggling behavior from GCP.

Exactly that. A community communicating can't be the huge profit center that a corporation needs it to be, without it being ruined.

Hm. Newlines are not required in many programming languages. I could see someone trying to skirt this by first converting the code to a single line, publishing that under LGPL, then taking that single line and modifying it however they like in their proprietary licensed software.
> the worse dystopian case (see Russia and a lot of the third world)

Per your own example, America currently belongs in the "wors[t] dystopian case... [including] a lot of the third world" where laws are being used to harass those the state does not like.

I agree, to an extent, I just don't think the average American sees how far they have to go in terms of equality.
Ask HN: How much would you pay per test case?
I am moving countries this summer and decided I'd try a startup project I've been thinking about for some time - a QA-as-a-Service company that helps startups build up E2E automated coverage & manage CI etc from video demos of their product.

I'm currently thinking about pricing and I like the idea of an initial cost per test & monthly maintenance fee. This includes all test planning, development of those tests, CI costs, reviewing bugs, reporting to the client, etc...

I have not really got an idea of how to price this though. Has anyone done something similar before with a good idea on pricing structures?

These are end-to-end tests of a single feature - I know it's hard to generertalize but I don't think this works with bespoke pricing, ideally it can be transparent and upfront. Maybe some sort of categories with different pricing could help, "easy, medium, hard" etc, but that seems too arbitrary.
It is not the dollars per watt that matters to many users.

What matters more than people may realize is battery runtime. The Apple hardware just spanks x86 hardware, unless that hardware is fitted with a big battery, and or a secondary one.

I typically run Lenovo hardware, and on my faster machine, I got a very large battery and could get 6 solid hours. And that is at a nice 3Ghz speed too.

My current machine (i5) is far slower than the M1 and that hot running Lenovo. (i7) It has two batteries that can yield 5 to 7 hours.

Those machines are heavier, slower, bigger, and just feel crappy compared to the M1 Air I have been using.

And that thing is crazy good. Battery life is longer, sometimes by a considerable amount. It is great hardware, fast, easy to use, light, you name it.
I like it because it provides a socially acceptable excuse to tell other people to GTFO and let me focus. Otherwise, I tend to be distracted by requests from other people. Often imagined ones. It's really probably just me who needs to convince myself that yes, I can say "no", and yes, I can stop thinking about every other obligation and expectation while focusing on the task at hand. A crisis temporarily eliminates this entire problem.
> While the language doesn’t get frequent updates (and that’s a good thing!)

This is the part that bugs me. It confuses frequent changes with frequent updates.

A language that changes frequently is a PITA to use, and it's good for a language to find a place of stability to where there aren't breaking changes every year. However, if I'm going to use a language in production, I expect it to not go 4 years without a bugfix update. It's not like Elm doesn't have any bugs to fix [0].

I'm a PL hobbyist and don't have any problem with someone having a hobby language that they eventually abandon—I've abandoned plenty myself. I don't even have a problem with someone deciding that they're comfortable with the risk of using someone's abandoned hobby project. It's just weird to see people seriously trying to argue that a 4-year break between releases is totally normal and all according to some master plan.

They did PR for Union Carbide following Bhopal, so not hypothetical:

"Considered the world's worst industrial disaster, over 500,000 people in the small towns around the plant were exposed to the highly toxic gas methyl isocyanate (MIC). Estimates vary on the death toll, with the official number of immediate deaths being 2,259.

In 2008, the Government of Madhya Pradesh paid compensation to the family members of 3,787 victims killed in the gas release, and to 574,366 injured victims. A government affidavit in 2006 stated that the leak caused 558,125 injuries, including 38,478 temporary partial injuries and approximately 3,900 severely and permanently disabling injuries. Others estimate that 8,000 died within two weeks, and another 8,000 or more have since died from gas-related diseases."
No, it's because nobody other than folks subscribed to platformer news can read the linked article beyond 2-3 paragraphs.
While I agree with the other comment, I'd like to add one thing to help you see the false equivalency being made here: we didn't make the human brain.

Now, with that being understood, why wouldn't we understand a brain that we made? Don't say "emergent properties", because we understand the ermegent properties of ant colonies without having made them.

> Coulson could have easily written that new music for "Baby Got Back", and then written new lyrics for it, and copyrighted the song.

Why wouldn't Coulton have the copyright on his version of the song? If I create a derivative work, I would own the copyright on the modifications, so I would have thought that Coulton would similarly own the copyright on his music.

For example, if I take Apache-licensed source code, add my own modifications, and release my work under the GPL v3 (as is permitted by both licences), someone else cannot reuse my work under the terms of the Apache licence, just because it is a derivative work of something licensed under the Apache licence. They would have to follow the GPL if they wanted to use my version. So how is that different to Fox reusing Coulton's work without his permission?
6 times since 2012 and I’m preparing for the 7th just in case. I work for the BigTech company known for its “PIP culture”. It hasn’t happened yet to me. But it always could.

1. Warm up my network. Reach out to people on LinkedIn, meet coworkers and former coworkers for lunch whenever I’m in their city (my wife and I “nomad” six months a year) and recruiters. There are a few recruiters I’ve met in person who know the industry and the players.

2. Prepare my “career document” - ie a longer form of a resume where I list my accomplishments in STAR format so I have talking points for my soft skill interviews.

3. Update my resume

4. Clean up my open source portfolio. This is new. I work in a department where it is easy to put the reusable parts of client facing work through our open source approval process. It usual takes two weeks. It’s MIT license so I can fork it from our official repos and continue working on it.

Notice I didn’t say “grind leetCode” (tm) r/cscareerquestions. I’m 50 years old. I haven’t done a coding interview since 2012 and that was my first time and I’m still an active coder as part of my job. If we can’t talk like adults and I can’t convince a company the value I bring, it’s not a place I’m going to work.

As far as when:

- 2008: at a company for nine years through four acquisitions. I had become an “expert beginner”.

- 2012: a startup was on its last legs. We all knew it and I was one of the tech leads who they trotted out to to talk to potential investors and acquirers.

- 2014: Working for the company that Jack Welch expanded on a house of cards.

- 2016: working on a “tiger team” at a satellite office until the old guard pushed out my skip manager and my manager who was brought in to modernize them.

2018: company acquired by a private equity company. I was the tech lead and the company said they “didn’t want to be a software company”

2020: the first time I didn’t purposefully activate it. The opportunity to work at BigTech fell into my lap (cloud consulting department). I was happy where I was.

Present: I stay prepared. But figure between savings and severance if things start going crazy, I have a window to either get a full time job or someone is going to pay me for consulting especially with my current credentials.
Anonymity is key in the sense that it shouldn't require linking to a real life identity. The same way now I can sign up for reddit 'anonymously' for example. There should be some reputation, some kind of check the person is human, maybe other things, but there needs to be the freedom to post separate from a real life persona, without fear of being doxxed. For so many different reasons.

Usenet, I think, has a strong hierarchy structure rather than just being a 'web', although it is that as well. So if the takedown order is directed at a server in high enough position, it is essentially removes it from all of Usenet - and it's not just takedown orders, but actors with the ability to remove content unilaterally.

Usenet really isn't sufficient simply because of how old it is. We can do much better, and I believe there are already numerous superior systems that exist but simply have not been adopted yet, likely due to ease of use and/or lack of need, the former can be improved, and the latter will happen naturally.
Function based views are good until you have to handle many request methods, then they become a hideous series of if/elif/else.

If the chips are designed to sacrifice performance for power usage, then they have no place in a computer without a battery.

Apple should assume that desktop machines have an unlimited power source, and that users want a maximum speed. That the users time is more expensive than the electricity being fed into the computer.

Laptops, sure, sacrifice power to extend the battery. Apple does an excellent job here.

The only reason you would buy one of these desktop machines is because you want to be in the Apple ecosystem.
Hey, thanks for the link, read a few paragraphs, it's an excellent read.
Oh but it is; they can demand hardware based filters and restrictions.

“Hardware will filter these vectors from models and block them from frame buffer, audio, etc, or require opt in royalty payments to view them.”
Don't waste your money on the Pro, you can get an M2 Ultra in a Mac Studio for $4000. The only reason to buy the Pro is if you have a bunch of really weird PCIe cards[0].

As for the desktop use case... sure, you aren't going to care about the $200 of saved power draw, but not having a very loud and hot machine at your desk has to count for something, right?

There's more variation on the street I live on today, than between MA and CA taken as a whole.

I'm not sure what I "don't" in your comment above, but clearly my intent is not clear, so I'll restate:

(Parts of) MA and CA have a lot of similarities. Some of the places physically between them are very different.

You may disagree. If so, you are surely measuring by a different metric than I am, or have not seen the places I've seen. But that's all I intended to say.
Yeah signals is what I’ve seen too, though I’m unsure if newlib + FreeRTOS has enough to make ‘em work! I’ll have a look though.
The zero-sum command-economy view of free speech: we have to exercise prior restraint on what people can say to ensure that there’s room for the people we approve of to speak.
You bring up a good point. It makes door dash even more expensive and even more a luxury for well off people.

Also, the argument was never that rich people cant afford nice things. So while concluding they can is easy and correct, its not accomplishing anything.

The person who authored this blog post hosts the docs which explain how to configure invidious to serve content from Youtube, and owns the domain. So they might be liable (if there is infringement) in ways the other authors are not.
