Not really.

I haven't seen the thing since 2004. But I thought it was pretty dumb and ironically very US centric in its treatment of these topics. It wasn't a deep criticism. It also at the same time mocked celebrities for being against the war.

For the record I was very vehemently against the Iraq war from day one.

that's exactly the point of dollar cost averaging: if you're able to save, say, $250 a month, every month you buy $250 worth of something. Especially now that commissions are zero or nearly zero, it's a good thing to do.
I have always used stable on my servers and testing on my laptop but I recently switched to stable on the laptop with kernel from backports (I have fairly recent hardware). I have never been happier :) (to be fair, staging was fairly stable too, but still broke small stuff occasionally, and I feel I'm too old to deal with this ^^)
The main differences I've heard of aside from what you already mentioned; Kbin supports microblogging a-la Mastodon with the same account, and protocol-wise it maps upvotes to boosts so everyone looking at your "timeline" can see which posts you've upvoted. Both being turn-offs for me.

I really want the Fediverse to succeed as an alternative to content silos like Reddit, but at this rate I think that we're headed towards a world–like every other time Reddit fucked up–where a small number of people splinter onto different websites while "normies" stay on Reddit and continue to look at the funny memes be they posted by bots on badly moderated subs or not.
I am not in the game at all but as I understand it Samsung doesn't make high quality DSLRs of the type used by photographers. I reckon that photographers would be asked to disclose this sort of thing if submitting to Nature in future.
Isn't That Spatial?
What I like about the amateur aspect of this story is that it should encourage people to just pursue what interests them. So long as you eschew prestige you can do literally anything you want. Prestige is just a euphemism not worth it anyway - and hacking is what you do when you don't know. When combined, these attitudes together can get some pretty good stuff done.
I wasn’t trying to be cheeky. I must have misunderstood your comment?

As I understand it the L3 system is limited to limited access highway roads, < 40mph, and no lane changes. Those are its limitations, and I believe they are self-imposed by Mercedes, not any US regulations.
I think it's unfortunate that they feel pushed to have a blanket policy. Not all images hold themselves out to be representative of a specific truth. If an article calls for an illustrative diagram of, e.g. a generic manifold representing energy associated with points in a parameter space, in context, readers should understand it as a hypothetical case whose specific attributes are not the focus, and there isn't really an opportunity to be 'misled' by it. If an article needs a microscopy image of tissue that has been treated by some factor being studied, then swapping in a DALL-E image in place of one produced through actual microscopy (and post-processing) _would_ be misleading. But the context of what the image purports to represent is critical.
Perhaps hunter drones that wait for their specific target, anticipate their moves/escape-routes and ultimately, utterly destroy them.

Or perhaps AI can accurately determine the number of civilian casualties that can be had while staying below the threshold of public outrage.

Just spit balling here.
I still report spam to all ISPs/mail providers, if they have a proper abuse@dom contact and I can spare the few moments it takes. And, also report the spam/scam mail contact reply-to: addresses to their respective email providers when they differ from the sender provider. When scam mails contain URLs, I'll report those to their domain registrar / webhost.

I've had good responses from most places. An Eastern European domain registrar has revoked several scammer domains after my notifications. Some ISPs are a waste of time to send reports to, e.g., a few in E. Europe, and Colo Crossing. But, it is usually worth it to report abuse. I have an emeritus email address from a former employer where I made it my project since the pandemic to report all spam/scam mail received to that address. I cannot state that this is the reason nor even the main reason, but the volume of spam to that address has gone from a firehose to a single spam/scam message every 1-3 weeks.
Yes, lump sum maximises expected returns, but you typically don't want to just maximise expected returns. Volatility matters.

If I give you this once in a lifetime trade: 100k for a 1 in a 1000 chance to win 500M, would you take it? There are very few people who would, even though it has 400k of expected returns, a whopping 400%.

Most of us simply don't make enough money in a life to take that trade enough times to cope with its volatility. Elon Musk should probably take that trade though.

I wonder how long you have to run the Apple chip to save enough on electricity to make the price difference worthwhile? Does it only drop to one human lifetime in places where energy cost is insanely high?
Right - so to the developer they all look the same, which means they are uncolored. If they are colored it means they look different (e.g. async vs sync).
It doesn’t exactly miss the point, but it does kind of blow past it and quickly dismiss it. There is a graph showing exactly this, and he even says “reduction of the risk comes at a price” — as it always does.

Seconded for Wallaby, as I don't often see it mentioned.

And even if you don't need instant feedback on tests whilst you're writing code, it's great during general development - set up a single test with the result you want and start doing some TDD-style coding, and Wallaby doesn't just show you the test outcome but also shows the values of all variables as hints decorating the lines in the editor itself whilst you type, making it much easier to get to working code.

The comments here are strange.

So many people making claims that power utilization doesn't matter. Perhaps not to them, but it does for many.

Energy prices are getting higher and higher in many parts of the country, heck in the world.

Devices that consume more power generate more heat. So now one is likely using more electricity to keep their home or office cool and comfortable.

Noise matters for many people using workstations. Running a system at full tilt can be irritating, distracting, because of the active cooling.

Some people are just simply conscious of how much electricity they use and want to have a lower environmental impact.

And then there's the large scale matter. One workstation might not be a big deal in terms of energy usage, but millions of them absolutely is.

Saying no one cares how much power a workstation uses is disingenuous.
I think a useful way of thinking about this is it has something like $300-400 worth of discrete GPU equivalent performance assuming that the article's claims are correct (not exactly a given...) as it will get you something similar to a 3060 ti or 4060 ti.
“Existing hydrocarbon infrastructure”

The fact that it exists does not mean that it’s fit for purpose. Hydrogen gas has very different material requirements, you can’t simply put it into those pipes.

“If the source energy is cheap and the sold hydrogen is expensive”

Except a) the energy is not cheap (nor is the equipment required to make and transport the hydrogen).

And b) who is going to buy this expensive hydrogen when they could instead use a cheaper alternative which is much more efficient (direct electricity cation)?
There's no hard line in the technology. This means that a ban is pointless because the landscape is going to keep changing.

It's interesting to compare this to other situations where, say, law tries to create lines that aren't really there and the incentive to ignore imaginary ones is greater than the incentive to keep them.

This seems to be a very common phenomenon with technology.
Poor Car Design UX
Or I can try to have rules and values that work for the situations I reasonably expect myself to manage responsibly and I accept that they will fail in extreme cases. The example you gave was WW2, which was arguably the worst catastrophe in human history. It would be impractical for me to try to build a moral system to handle it.

Put it this way: If your friend asks you for advice on how to set up his wedding website, which of the following is good advice?

A) Use Squarespace.

B) Write an HTML & CSS file and put it on github pages.

C) Use Netlify.

D) Set up a multi-region kubernetes cluster with enough storage and capacity to stream the World Cup.

Interesting idea. However I do like the approach bankid did using qrcode [1] this does not however match a domain but matches a particular vendor that shows up after you've scanned it and asked to enter your security code. This way you can always verify the vendor is actually the website you are trying to log into.

You can interrupt blocking IO calls using signals, so there is an alternative to using epoll/select for this. It can also be used to implement timeouts if another userspace thread tracks the IO operation duration and sends a signal to the IO blocked thread if the max duration has expired.

I think Java thread interruption for blocking IO might be based on signals and is not using nonblocking IO under the hood. But I would need to read JDK source again to tell for sure

Personally I use the official Mozilla releases of firefox & thunderbird & drop them in /opt so that they get updated as soon as an update is released.

Yeah, I am not explaining myself very well. I meant: people try to sharing code between main app and extensions with dylib. If they don't do that, they have code-duplication in the app bundle so the binary size is main code + 2 * shared code + extension code. However, it becomes more complicated because if you just naively sharing the code, your sharing part will be bloated, therefore, making the RAM usage higher than a static linked one (because static linked sharing code can do dead-code elimination better).

You are betting on a 20x improvement in mass energy density of batteries for that to become realistic. That would probably require entirely new chemistries and while I am not going to rule it out, there is really no good reason to believe that it will happen either.
Hydrogen powered flight is on the other hand only a matter of incremental improvements. It is already feasible today.

You were called a nutjob for trying to bring it up.

Once it became public, a lot of the narrative that you see now was developed behind the scenes by the people responsible for these systems. The (yawn, apologist, anger) was created as a playbook, and most people don't think for themselves, so they parrot this narrative.

It is 100% clear that domestic spying in the US is unconstitutional and unethical. There is no debate, and those that present it as a debate, or even that you are naive for not wanting it, are in service of the narrative.
As a meta point, it's interesting that 4 lawyers signed this letter:

- Lindsey Halligan, an insurance claims litigator

All except Lindsey have since resigned from Trump's legal team.

About climate change..? It doesn't serve your argument to so blatently misrepresent reality.
I don’t understand HN sometimes. Why is your comment being downvoted? As other comments are pointing out, it is practically very hard to ban anything when nation governments are the ones doing the very thing that much of humanity would like to ban - AI in warfare, in this case.

Does that mean we can’t talk about it or raise questions? After all, it is hard to prevent nations acquiring nuclear weapons too, but there is a tremendous amount of effort spent trying, isn’t it?
You can run a reasonably current Debian install by just switching to the testing repos after you install a stable release. This mostly works pretty well but occasionally[1] you'll have an issue. While you could get absolutely up to the minute software (from a Debian standpoint) using the sid (i.e. unstable) repos, I wouldn't recommend it as breakage is quite common there as they are working through various packing issues and that repo lives up to its name.

[1] every couple of years in my experience... typically as they're getting closer to a new release and package breaking changes are needed/slip through.
It’s not about forgetting about war. France was constantly at war from the fifty years preceding 1914 fighting colonial conflicts.

It’s about misunderstanding new technology notably machine guns or to be even more correct a military career structure and organisation which prevented people who understood new technologies and try to shake the boat to rise in ranks while putting conservative officers in control of the army.
Whoever is doing the caring should reconsider their life choices at that price. At 51 cents per kilowatt hour, personal solar + batteries are a vailable alternative. If you cared about the planet, you'd move

Yup. And with DCA, a skittish investor has something they can point to when buying stocks in all market conditions.

Instead of “oh, I should wait for the dip” you can view your automatic purchases as “buying fewer shares because they’re expensive”.

Instead of “oh, the market’s crashing. I should wait for the bottom,” you can think, “I’ll just be buying more shares the cheaper they become”

It’s not a strategy per se, but more of a reasoning to stay the course and make your static monthly contribution.

Don't know what OS you're on, but these days whilst it does less the Mac OS (ARM-native) Visual Studio is massively more performant than the Windows version and largely good-enough for coding (not so much for layouts). I often switch to it when Rider (which I pay for) starts to struggle.

I don't really see the point of remembering this. More salient perhaps is the behaviour of the oil companies: their cover ups of climate science and pollution, their lobbying, their massive, massive subsidies and their (frankly cruel) profiteering.

It'll be good that they're gone, when they're gone, and may we never have to rely on such morally unsound people or technology ever again.

> …AI-based generative/corrective algorithms…

Every photo is touched by "corrective algorithms". Nature is talking about generative AI specifically, which means using an LLM to generate part or all of an image. This precludes using Midjourney, Photoshop's new "generative fill", etc.

I assume that what Samsung's "Space Zoom" feature does — replacing elements with higher-quality stock photography — was already disallowed. If so, whether the elements were identified/replaced manually or automatically isn't really a concern from an editorial perspective.
This is a case of "scientism", not science. Science is only equipped to address claims that are falisifiable. The question of whether or not there is a self isn't something that can be proven or dispproven, since consciousness appears to be an emergent property rather than a thing that can be pinned down and measured.

That's a bizarrely absurd attitude.

So if Russia now invaded Poland or the Baltic States and France/US/UK 'attacked' Russia in response that would not be a justifiable thing to do? Because that's exactly what you're saying...

> France had treated Germany horribly

1. Yes. But that happened 20 years ago as a response to a German invasion of France (and Belgium but why would anyone care about the people that get caught in between...). And both countries were on a path towards reconciliation after Locarno. This does not make Nazi actions in any way more justifiable...
