I just looked on ABEBooks - all of the copies were around $100 (used or new POD)! Too bad - it sounds interesting, but not at the moment $100 interesting.
Oh, I misunderstood. Still, I’d argue that in a world where most people who eyeball the headline don’t read the article, the headline is the story. And thus discussing whether the headline leaves a misleading impression is fair game — and not at all meta.
I for one see the turning of Web into a sandboxed OS as an improvement, even if it’s lead by Google.
Interesting! Can I use it in my eshop website and test it? I want to help my customers find what they want faster
'switch' is good, but for VM's computed goto is better.

Well you need tax payer money to finance the AI that find potential infrastructure problems... So an AI that find tax avoiders might bring more tax payer money to fix other problems.

What It's Like to Grow Up with a Weird Name
I think there is room for another social network.

But I don't think it looks like X-except-for-not-some-bad-thing, because the people who complain about things like Reddit's API access are not many and don't have a clear use case -- I mean they want Reddit plus a tool someone else built not something different from Reddit (or Twitter that isn't Twitter, or Facebook that isn't Facebook).

But most of what they want is Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter and so Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter provide most of what they want. And that's not even most people. Most people accept the tradeoffs and go on with life and get value out of the existing platforms.

A new social network will expand the market. Make the pie bigger. Fill a different role. Let people do something they didn't know they wanted to do. It won't be capturing people who want different business models or moderation policies. Those are fringe people who have issues that they want catered to.

The important question is not, "how are people using social media?"

The important question is "how are people not using social media?"

Good luck.

Because countries that consistently go back on their word lose trust from the rest of the world. Even North Korea is a Berne copyright signatory.

But in general copyright doesn't apply to governments, even here in the US. The North Korean government can violate copyright all it wants to, its subject citizens can't, though. https://www.natlawreview.com/article/state-entity-shielded-l...

The VC bias towards short-term financial gain is a shaky foundation on which to build.
Pete came to Utah after a bit of a relative graphics drought in the department, right when I was trying to absorb as much as I could. I literally glommed onto him, learned as much as I could about ray tracing, started working on his path tracer, and I can honestly say working with Pete changed my life. That’s a long story, but incidentally he named his path tracer “Eon” after how long it took to produce a decent image. He’d also arrived with a codebase that predated modern C++, we often used prefixes in class and variable names. His prefix was ‘gg’ which I don’t remember what it stands for, but the prefix was so common he broke the ‘g’ key off of his keyboard.
You're not wrong on any point of that, in the final analysis, BUT, I think it's worthwhile to compare tankies to the current set of kool-aid drinking Christian Republicans who are supporting the banning of books and other overtly fascist laws, because they really are two sides of a coin in this case, and illustrate the breakdown of social bonds we are currently experiencing.

If you step into the tankie mindset for a moment, you will zoom in on the book banning and anti-trans cudgel that's currently getting swung around, and they will contextualize that with our 400 year history on this continent, and pretty rightly conclude that there is no moral champion at the nation state level, and if there is, it cannot possibly be America, but if they're here, America is the one they are able to fight.

Likewise, if you step into a naive geopolitical viewpoint and say to yourself that Russia is a country that lost the cold war and which the West did not really help to become more democratic in the aftermath - you sent your capitalists and that equated to sending freedom, in the minds of Reaganized America.

But Capital does not concern itself with anyone's freedom but it's own, and Capital does business with anyone willing to do business with it, including its morally-liberated, and now ideologically-liberated, former rivals, who were never fucking communists in the first place; they were the new autocrats, same as the old autocrats, and likewise, Yeltsin was just a drunky thrown up there to give speeches while they reestablished control under the new capitalist branding.

And for thirty years, mostly anyone who question it has been shouted down. "These are our trading partners and they're totally super into freedom, guys! China wants to be like us!"

And here we are. But anyways, rant aside, to the tankie and to the book-banning Christian Fascist alike, the enemy has lost all moral status, they are outlaw, and therefore any measure used against them is just, no matter how inherently unjust it might be in and of itself. As long as it's used against them.

This is how "good" people like you and me end up joining the organizations that end up living in infamy, whether it's my sainted grandmother who went to her grave believing Stalin was fine or whoever ends up as the evil poster boy for the current attempt at Christian Fascism that Barry Goldwater was already warning yall about.

If he had leaned into it like Trump did, he would've brought this all on much sooner, and we would be dealing with some other calamity here in 2023, but Goldwater called it, these people believe in apocalypse as a good thing, so all of us who are right-thinking, whatever economics we may favor, are gonna have to get on the same page about this one.

> Corolla etc.

Fun way to think about it (borrowed from James May): A Toyota Corolla is higher quality than a Rolls Royce. Because Toyota makes 10,000,000 vehicles per year. Rolls makes only 6,000. Meaning Toyota is better at making cars just by virtue of having 4 orders of magnitude more practice.
> The Crocs will likely have no retained value, while the $500 shoes may be worth something after 10 years.

This is the core of the “secret” to wearing high quality shoes at a low cost. Buy good used shoes and get them resoled as necessary. E.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/comments/1jhp8o/a...
Soviet leadership, including Gorbachev himself, have explicitly denied that any assurances existed.

As regards Gorbachev -- what did he say actually, and when?

And why would he say the exact opposite in his RBTH interview in 2014? (Granted, this is RBTH -- but I think we can be reasonably confident that the interview is not a fabrication and that he is being quoted correctly). Here's his quote again, in full context - and it's clear he's not not referring to the Common European Home:

The decision for the U.S. and its allies to expand NATO into the east was decisively made in 1993. I called this a big mistake from the very beginning. It was definitely a violation of the spirit of the statements and assurances made to us in 1990. With regards to Germany, they were legally enshrined and are being observed.
LLM.int8(): 8-Bit Matrix Multiplication for Transformers at Scale (2022)
In that video they mention doing localization based upon a prebuilt map of the route by matching images to the model 10 times per second.

That is by definition, not FSD. That is like the system announced today, a limited route autonomy.

For comparison, FSD v3 (they are shipping v4 in every vehicle now) performs localization 2,000 times per second based upon a hybrid model of every road in open street maps and a generalized model of roads. That is why it is FULL. Even if you are on an unmapped brand new road built yesterday, it will know how to drive appropriately.

> [1] I reject the premise that life begins at conception, as the arguments in favor seem to invariably rest on either an unmeasurable claim based on the "soul," or some religious authority. Government is in the reality business, and separation of church and state is an important principle. Therefore the premise is invalid for creating policy.

Can you define "life" please? Because by some definitions bacteria and fungi are alive:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_(biology)

If single-celled organisms are (allegedly) alive, why not a multi-cellular organism like a zygote/fetus?

Further, just because it is alive, does not necessarily mean it is a person (according to some). Further-further, just because it is a person does not necessarily mean we have any moral obligation towards it (according to some):

> Some philosophers, like Thomson, think so, but very many philosophers disagree. If I live alone in the woods and wake one day to find an infant on my doorstep, am I obligated to care for it? Or may I simply step over it and go on about my day, until it dies from exposure and neglect? To think I am obligated in justice to help it, as a great many people (philosophers and non-philosophers alike) do, is to think we owe things to other people simply because they are people. And if we can owe things to other people simply because they are people, then Thomson’s argument falls apart. If the fetus becomes a person long before birth — as even Thomson concedes — and if we can owe things to people simply because they are people, then we can owe things to the fetus as well, long before birth.

So according to some folks (I am not making the argument, just describing it) : it can still be life/alive (which started at conception), and also be considered a human person, and abortion would still be okay.
So despite the massive ridership of the subway and the fully paid infrastructure and rights of way from 100 years ago, it can't throw off enough cash for modernization of its systems?

And instead politicians decide to tax the successful mode of transportation, which is cars. Note that given the density and NY gas taxes, it is a certainty that cars in this area generate surplus cash.
It's moronic because it's motivated reasoning.
It literally is a “limitation of the system”.
Palantir CEO Rejects Calls to Pause AI Development
Palantir CEO Alex Karp has rejected calls to pause the development of artificial intelligence (AI), stating that it is only those with “no products” who want a pause.

Karp believes that the West currently holds key commercial and military advantages in AI and should not relinquish them.
Imagine an AI that instead can find corrupt politicians, judges, and business men! That would be something!
I've said for years the main use case for AI is to dilute and launder accountability so that decisions can be seen as the expression of corporate entities and committees where no individual can be held responsible or accountable. AI is to bureaucracy what cryptocurrency is money laundering.

Over a decade ago I was hired to do a privacy impact assessment for a government project that was going to "use AI to detect benefits fraud." Turned out under the architecture docs, the "AI" was a data repository managed by one of the big credit reporting companies, and their "AI" would flag back individuals to the govt benefits agency for further scrutiny. The company got to keep the data, there was no anonymization or de-identification, let alone any consideration of how the company would use the data after, or for re-linking the data to other data sets to make credit decisions about household members and other relations. The fact that the government was outsourcing their fraud detection to the very credit reporting and collection agencies who would be exploiting the data for credit decisions was also what nobody was supposed to say out loud or write down.

The point is, so-called AI in this case was used as a proxy to hide a relationship between the government and a private company and as a way to absolve either of any accountability for marking someone as a suspect for benefits fraud. The govt didn't have to make or document a regulation mandating them to do fishing expeditions, or create a paper trail on how random their selection of someone was for scrutiny, nor did they have to disclose that their AI system was just the sleazy credit reporting company pretending to be an "AI."

The problem with proxying decisions through so-called AI is that the bureaucracy only exists by its direct mandates, and the people in it are always trying to get around the constraints that imposes, so in these cases, AI is just a false-pretext generation machine. That any agency can act using "randomness," in any situation at all is a level of discretion that is very likely to be inconsistent with their actual mandates, imo.
I think any government that is bought and controlled by capital is a capitalist government, so in my opinion, you are either wrong or lying.
To any HN community that was here prior to the Edward Snowden releases:

Prior to 2013, we had enough evidence (Mark Klein, etc) that US Gov was actively conducting bulk warrantless surveillance of Americans (not suspected of a crime).

Back then, was there a dominant HN vibe about domestic spying (eg: yawn, apologist, anger)?

Except that’s not true. So…
I'd say it beats big ad tech by miles. First, in the current financial system, HFT serves a tengible purpose, an easily quantifiable one. Well, easier than selling ads so. Also, HFT is not spying on it users to turn a buck. And if HFTs screw up, they loose their own money. If ad tech screws up, they risk screwing up democracy (Cambridge Analytica was a thing, least we forget).

For me, HFT is the more honest, and less evil, way of making a buck.
It’s all about intent. If you place a bonafide order with the intent of it getting, but at a later time (1ms is fine) decide that is no longer a good price, you are cancel it.

However, if you place an order that you do not intend to get filled to make the market think there is demand when there actually isn’t, that is illegal.

So, how do they prove this? Well, proving intent is hard, unless you’re dumb enough to send emails saying, for example, you want a smart order type that won’t get filled.
This is a great introduction to how valuation of public stocks works. In short, market capitalization is positively correlated with gross margin rates and negatively correlated with earnings volatility and the discount rate, which is a leading indicator for FFR.
It provides unbelievable amounts of value. Most people who complain about HFT, even those who work in the industry, say this from a position of total ignorance about what things were like before.

Even ten years ago, commissions were sky-high in comparison. Twenty years ago, it wasn't possible for most investors to access markets directly at all. You had to go through several layers of intermediaries just to get market exposure (it isn't just execution costs, HFT is an enabler for other innovation like ETFs)...you paid your wealth manager, the fund manager, who paid the broker, etc. Your returns were getting cut by a significant amount.

This trend is still working it's way through the industry but even versus ten years ago, you have seen massive improvements for consumers.
Why do cats knead?

Then you switch providers, go behind something like cloud flare, or contract with a DDoS protection provider (there aren’t many).

If it is an unimportant service you just suffer the DDoS or switch IPs.

Or you use a front end on a VPS that does have DDoS and use a IPv6 tunnel or tail scale to connect to your actual service.

Show HN: Moonka.space – better jobs for curious minds
Hey there -

First of all: if you'd like to set up a developer or a company profile, feel free to reach out to me, I'm happy to assist. (email in bio)

I've started Moonka.space because I was frustrated by some of the mechanisms that are now ubiquitous in IT recruitment.

The endless spam, the poorly formulated job requirements, the often meaningless buzzword-sounding values that companies talk about.

The core of the idea is that jobs are just working relationships where both side has a great opportunity and both sides benefit.

Following the footsteps of @paulg, we started with things that don't scale easily: we developed a methodology to work with companies hiring, where we talk with decision makers and engineers alike. We build transparent profiles, where true values shine through, where stacks are realistic and requirements are clear.

Our audience is developers and we help companies communicate their needs to them.

For developers, we provide the opportunity to create a clean, but thorough professional profile with one-click job applications and clear feedback loops.

For companies, we provide transparent company profiles and job listings, along with collaborative tools to help manage applications.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'm eager to hear them.
I have two young children, I don't have time to "haunt" anything. But before we had kids we tried this with consignment stores, would spend like a year looking for some simple piece of furniture, and end up with junk anyway.

Whats baffeling - is that the SEC should be all over this methodology - in fact - I am sure that there a re people out there right now building an AI to riffle through the Panama Papers and other "papers" scandals looking at shell companies for a way to blackmail those who are storing wealth in such.

Or using ai to find chinks-in-the-armor for ways to exploit said shell companies and their 'anonymous' owners...

I presonally used ChatGPT as well as AutoGPT to dive into Opensecrets.org and other online resources to look into the finances of congress - what their tenure is, age, salary, investments, committees served on and then major defense inititives, and the investments of congress into those contractors.

What I am trying to do is build a table of acts/laws passed which benefitted defense contractors, and then the stated investments by congress just prior to said defense deals which should reveal insider trading pretty definitively...

When I moved to NYC from Kyiv, I was actually surprised by how chill the traffic in New York is.

Obviously it can get annoying around bridges and tunnels, but outside those areas it’s pretty easy to get around, and I live on the west side of FiDi.

Not against this legislation, I think it’s a good idea, but I personally spent more time in traffic on Long Island, and upper Manhattan.

I don’t own a car though, I just rent when necessary.
In the end, Mercedes assumes liability for its system, where Tesla doesn’t. Tells you all you need to know.
I see ads on the LIRR all the time from NYC saying "we love having a driver's license for everything but driving". The city doesn't hide that it wants to get rid of cars. I don't blame them; cars in the business district are a nightmare for pedestrians and drivers.
Regardless 25 million of tax money to another consultancy is the problem.

They are of one the biggest benificiaries of the modern western tax system.

It's a complicated problem to solve, but not a 25 million kind of complicated problem.

Allright, I may not need devuan gnu/linux in the future since I can choose at installation time the init system on debian.

But it seems the efforts to actually restore the compatibility of some components with sysvinit is from devuan, not debian. May be wrong again.

Those are steps in the right direction. But I stay alert: I know that sysvinit experience could be actually desastrous on debian compared to devuan. Not to mention the debian "default" is systemd: we all know how critical is the choice of the "default" on the long run, that's why I may still go to devuan.
> The Pro-Soviet western marxists of the past often became today's western pro-Russian "populists"

lol, I whipped up the exact same computer vision thing to detect faded road markings in satellite images, in under a week. Including a horrible day of labeling images for training.

But the thing is... look at their share price. Capgemini is doing something right because their market cap is going up all the time.

Their consultants are relatively expensive to hire, and they themselves get paid relatively little.

They (and firms like them) spend a ridiculous, soul-crushing amount on sales. Building relationships with the people that matter, to then cut deals that, on the face of it, just don't make any sense. Delivering what you promise is entirely optional in this business model. (So in a nice symmetrical way their underpaid consultants are also often undertrained, because who cares)

C'est la vie, I'm afraid...
