Hi there. I am the author of the Register article that you quote:

> this was language The Register used in an article

So, in response to that, I'd like to point out a few things.

1. This is, I feel, now widely and well-established language in this discussion. For example, note its use in the comments to this article about the discontinuation of CentOS Linux three years ago: https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/

2. Others are using it in the context of this story; for example, here: https://fosspost.org/red-hat-is-shooting-itself-in-the-foot-...

3. The direct personal reason that I used the phrase "a bunch of freeloaders" is that this is a Douglas Adams quotation, or rather, paraphrase. I am not an especially big name, but those who do know my name may recognise it: I was once the president of ZZ 9 Plural Z alpha, the official Douglas Adams appreciation society. I was interviewed quite widely in media around the world at the time that the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy film came out. I used the phrase in order to refer to the Douglas Adams line about "a taxi service for a bunch of degenerate freeloaders." For reasons which I trust are obvious I removed the adjective.
Don’t really think we’ll see positive change without aggressive consequential action against bad actors.
This really highlights the importance of only using SMS as a 2fa option. I have investigated things years back where sim-swappers were paying several major wireless carriers employees thousands of dollars to port out phone numbers.
Matt Yglesias had a good piece about this a few days ago.

I think some users certainly act as you describe, but I suspect the majority of users will follow the early adopters after they identify and popularize a better mousetrap.

The history of social media platforms suggests to me that users are fickle and have no strong connection to any platform. Friendster, MySpace, Facebook each had their moment and then most users either left the platform or spend more time on other platforms.

We are in an interesting phase where lots of different new platforms are experimenting with differentiation strategies. There is a whole ecosystem of “political right” social media (Truth Social, Gab, Parlor, Rumbl, etc). The federated social media platforms are selling the “you won’t lose access to everything due to moderation/banning” niche. I’m sure there are Web3 (the blockchain one) social media platforms, but I can’t be bothered to look into their details.
What makes you think that will happen?
And why? TEXTING.

Until states make texting while driving a DUI-level offense, with the same penalties, this isn't going to get better.

I'm so tired of seeing people bellyaching about "speeding" when in fact the real problem is texting. Whining about "speed" lets politicians and law enforcement off the hook for not addressing the glaringly obvious threat to everyone on the road. And instead of cracking down on it, they waste taxpayers' money to destroy taxpayers' roads with ridiculous third-world impediments, stealing from 100% of drivers 100% of the time.

Hello!

There is a very long walk-thru in the Demo.md file -

Since this has been a hobby project I haven't yet published any public docker images, but there are docker files that you can pull from the repo and build if you wish.
For a lot of cars, the gas cap itself can be wedged into the pump handle to keep it latched. The auto shutoff will still work.
It basically lets you create AI experiences in your app by combining GPT with your own backend logic/3rd party APIs!

I'd suggest replacing "toxic" with a more clinical term to make it obvious that it's technical jargon with a specific meaning, rather than something that sounds like a hashtag trending on social media. For example, "adverse masculinity". That phrase seems better in every way.
They aren't called Beltway Bandits for nothing, and Booz-Allen is one of the top firms in that arena. Their bread and butter is milking federal contracts for every penny they can.
Many people do like that. But there is a difference between "Allow people to build a single family detached home" and "make illegal anything except building a single family detached home". If you look at traditional american towns, there are a lot of walkable nice towns with nothing but detached homes, but they didn't have the same setback requirements as they do now.
Well... there are some basic issues here. First of all any time you decide to increase growth of tissues where there would otherwise be none, you run the risk of cancer. I'm not sure how (other than breaking and resetting bone) you'd get people taller, and what the other issues would be. You'd also need to make sure the quality of bone is still high, that the growth doesn't lead to fractures or issues with the connective tissues. You're essentially trying to reboot a major organ system which both supports your entire body and contains the machinery for making blood and immune cells. That's a huge risk for an incredibly modest reward.

Meanwhile bleaching people is a dangerous, unwise, but still quite straightforward thing to do. You don't have to reprogram anything fundamental, you just use a cocktail of nastiness which has the desired effect at a very superficial level.
Exactly! That's what I had in mind when building this PoC ;)
I'm not enforcing or policing anything, or worried about anything, how did you get that from my comment? Please read it again.

> "It’s also ok to debate the point sure, just be respectful?"

Could you please explain where, in my previous comment, I wasn't being respectful?

I was simply observing that the way people often talk about these ideas, including in this thread, resembles spirituality and religion. Which is true.

> "Why go on the internet and try tell people otherwise."

This subthread started with you saying "This is why I think all the 'meatbags' and 'hardware running on software;' analogies are actually really primitive and silly."

So, in your own words, "if people like to think [that,] what's it to you? Why go on the internet..." blah blah blah.

You can dish it but not take it, apparently? You're making a much stronger attempt at policing than anything I said. Perhaps you're projecting something onto me?

In any case, you seem to be having a problem with a false dichotomy. It's not as though any of us are saying our bodies don't exist, or that there's no interaction between our bodies and minds. There's lots of well-established science on that. See the last line of the comment by TeMPOraL that I originally replied to.
AWS to remove 62,000-message Simple Email Service ‘always free’ tier
But it will probably work fine on Linux with Wine.
Look, mac, I can use google unassisted.
Drugs like haloperidol have been studied and found to increase stimulant users' use of meth amphetamine & cocaine. When psychosis is caused by substance abuse, the only reasonable treatment is helping the person get their substance abuse under control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance-induced_psychosis

Robert Whitaker has covered research that finds the psychotics who do the best are those who are never exposed to antipsychotics. Those who do the second-best are those who are taken off antipsychotics as soon as possible. Those who do the worst, long-term, are those who are maintained on antipsychotics in perpetuity.

Psychiatric medications reduce patients' expected lifespan by 20 years. My aunt's friend had a psychotic break (emotional stress, iirc), was maintained on antipsychotics for life, and died of liver failure - I think she was in her early 60's.

SSRIs and ECT work by increasing the brain's production of allopregnanolone, just like in any other kind of brain damage.
Yeah, I think there is a long way to go before the AI gets good enough to be trustworthy for infra type tasks but I am super excited for that future.
It's absolutely wild to me to see someone take a poem about the genocide of millions of people and apply it to an app being banned from a digital store over cryptocurrency tipping.
You are really cherry picking to come to that conclusion, but if citations correlates that strongly to less accidents that should be easy to show. It can not be the only thing though.
Compared to the smallest Allwinner SoM (DDR2 integ.) it's quarter the footprint & quarter the power consumption with double the memory and dual core.

Considering the App Store is 99% adwall trash and subscription scam apps I’d say if you hate Bitcoin you’d have to admit it’s right at home with the rest of the content there.
I agree with most of what you said, but:

> If that angers you, I heartily encourage folks to build Debian up as the standard we all certify against. Or start your own business that overtakes Red Hat and earns the place RHEL has today.

This strikes me as a variation of the "if you don't like Apple or Google's rules, make your own phone" or "if you don't like Youtube's content policies, then start your own video company." It's not necessarily wrong, but it's wildly impractical. It certainly may come down to that, but it would be far better for everyone involved to reach some sort of happy medium point that doesn't result in mass duplication of effort and fragmentation. Before telling people to just fork the project if you don't like it, it would be great to address people's concerns as much as possible, and that can't happen unless people make their concerns known.
Nah that's what drug prohibition is for. It turns out almost everyones vehicle smells like weed.
This just reminds me of how far Scala has fallen. The 3.0 debacle, the fact that the community had a civil war, it really is a shame considering how it's SO close to being a strongly typed python replacement.

Programming Scala is the closest to just expressing how I think. For people who love C#, it has all the best C# features and an even more expressive type system.

Everytime I have to write Go, Python or C++ at work I'm missing features from Scala. :(
Not the opposite. You're agreeing with the parent that Red Hat is viewing to de-commodify Linux. You just can't seem to see why this a bad thing.

Red Hat does not have the interests of the community in mind any longer, which was inevitable when IBM purchased them.
It used to be AGPL, but they switched to BSD some time ago (and I think just forgot to change wording on the commercial license offering).
Ah, you're right about that. I thought the 200-million odd settlement announced a few weeks back was the same thing. It's not.

Hope the USVI gets all they are asking for and then some. The way Dimon testified it's so obvious he knew what was up - I mean, he worked with Jes Staley for nearly a decade, and promoted him to the head of JPMC's investment bank. There's no way in hell a guy in such a position who has a personal client transacting billions of dollars with former and current heads of state (including multiple former or future US Presidents), Fortune 50 CEOs, famous academics and also was convicted of sex trafficking in 2006 can hide that all from his boss. I don't believe that for a second.
The devil is in the details. Training large LLMs requires a lot of custom infra (handling GPUs going down, efficiently pushing data to keep the accelators busy, deciding on which mechanism of parallelizing model training is better - data vs model parallelism or both, tuning hyperparams of optimizers which can be different for larger batch sizes, etc)

Mosaic is one of the better providers for this. AWS is nowhere near ready at this current point in time, it is pretty much a "dumb" infra provider in large LLM training at this point. (Of course they won't be standing still and will prob acquire that capability one way or another)
wow this is great job! Congrats. Curious if you can share your tech stack for this? Did you use any headless commerce to speed up development?
Russia internal politics makes Game of Thrones look like a playground spat; I've heard it's nearly impossible for intelligence agencies to know exactly what's going on among all the power plays and backstabbery, let alone any sort of media agency
I don't.

(Un)surprisingly a strict mode in Firefox blocks most of the clutter.

Can't say when I stopped bothering (I'm on FF since 2.x) but I have other things to do.

The only exceptjon is what I got some addons to block some obnoxious things, like 'login here with Google!!!' and Google webfonts (which sometimes breaks a carefully curated look of the site made by Internet connosiers, which just gaves me a chuckle).
I am confident that a damn fish can recognize a familiar voice. Birds do. Lizards do. Of course a freaking wolf would recognize a familiar voice.
Please submit it again, as its own post, using "Show HN" -- this deserves more eyeballs!

Personally, I found it striking how similar this looks to the other doomscrolling sites (sure, it's only superficial, but if you don't "dig" you might not catch that it's all simulated).
So can't people who want to offer an in-app "tip the developer" feature simply comply (without paying Apple's commission) by selling a token physical good such as a button, sticker, t-shirt, or other merchandise?
I'm really bad at math and completely unfamiliar with pretty much every relevant implementations. That makes it even worse that the implementation looks like.... well.... dumb shit? How does one do anything without considering the input?
This happens a lot in PDX and it makes me furious. It's like putting a hit out on the pedestrian crossing the street. I would like to see how the people honking their horns would like it if someone called for their death.
Backup cameras are Federally mandated in new cars because there was a predictable kill count of parents running over their own kids in their own driveways. Cars are so common that we don't really think about their dangers.

A given practice does not need to be 100% effective in order to provide value. Simply imposing a financial barrier of any kind is often enough to reduce malicious activity by a considerable degree.
>The article isn't about how fathers are somehow prevented from being emotionally available to their sons; rather, it's about how fathers choose to be emotionally unavailable to their sons in the misguided notion that boys need to be trained from childhood to be "manly" and "strong".

People here are explaining why fathers are being emotionally unavailable to their sons.

It's not a mistake, and it's not neglect. The fathers aren't idiots or abusers.

It's to train the son to be able to function in a world that doesn't care and will never care about his feelings, his pain, his safety, or his life. A world where all acceptance and love is conditional on being useful to someone else.

The fathers understand that showing weakness or needing emotional help as a male simply makes people distrust, reject, abuse, and abandon you. We've all had this experience over and over. They care about their sons, so they try to teach them the easy way, before the world teachers them the hard way.

It's "the talk" for boys.
I once had to cancel a one night reservation. I was trying to do the right thing to open up the spot for someone else. But the cancellation fee was more than the actual reservation, meaning I would have to pay them to cancel. Ridiculous system.
My mom and bio dad were divorced when I was 11 months old, and I had basically zero contact with him until age 15 or 16. My mom re-married an alcoholic racist fuck who was on my very short list of people that I genuinely wished he were dead (he is now, so he's no longer on the list). He wasn't physically abusive, but he was certainly hella verbally abusive.

In the nearly 40 years since re-establishing contact with my bio dad, he hasn't exactly proven himself as a role model. He falls into the "woe is me" category of low income people. He always finds excuses.
The One-Shot Drug That Keeps on Dosing
It'd be interesting to bring this up to date.
What is the actual issue here? It's not explained well.

Is that the CentOS Stream is not a bona fide community distro, but simply a sneaky name for something that is actually "RHEL Beta"?

The article refers to subscription paywalls; so I'm assuming they apply to this CentOS Stream thing, which indeeded makes it totally-not-a-community edition.

Which makes it a dickhead move for it to be using the name.

Technically, it would way more sense for a bona fide community OS to be the upstream for the commercial one with the paywalls and subscriptions, than to be making community editions downstream. But it looks like CentOS Stream isn't it, so the point is moot.
Researchers investigate the veracity of 'six degrees of separation'
There's also the argument that Apple would never approve such a "super app" in their walled garden because it could usurp their position.
How is that a solution? Downtown L.A., for example, is not "full." And if you "densify" what are now single-family neighborhoods, that single-family neighborhood will simply move to the next frontier. Then the oh-so-horrible reign of terror will continue there. How does that help?

Zoning allows people to choose what kind of neighborhood they want to live in. If I wanted density, I'd live downtown. Why should developers be allowed to just roam in and destroy the lifestyle that the people in the area selected?
We need automatic enforcement via speed cameras and such, but whenever these are brought in, the car lobby moans about how it's a "cash grab" and not about saving people's lives.
Microsoft had dominant position while Apple is minority. How can one even compare this?
This is a fantastic essay. As someone who went through a rough divorce and estrangement from my kid (I don't even really know why), I know nostalgia well. This essay does a great job of investigating what is going on there.
Driving around Yosemite or Yellowstone is gonna be closer to in-town riding than to highway riding. I wouldn't be too surprised if time spent on driving at the destination was ~50% of my driving time at some road trips I took.
It's still not the easiest to come up with an attack of consequence against what is basically a static site that is worth an attacker's time. You can draw out scenarios, certainly, but most of them are some combination of "doesn't matter" and "if that's the goal, there's a better and easier way to do it".

I ran on that philosophy for a long time too, but Let's Encrypt tipped the balance for me. When TLS certs cost real money it was easy to decide that the super-marginal security benefits for my minimal readers weren't worth hundreds of my dollars a year. Now it's more on the order of "incidental noise in what it took to set the website up anyhow", so I go for it.
Considering how much of the country is suburbs with large streets or freeways separating housing tracts from shopping centers, is your proposal really to close those freeways and arterial streets down? Or just demolish all the homes that are there and move those people to higher density areas?

I'm sympathetic to the idea of building new large developments in a non car centric fashion, but how do you do this with the majority of existing areas.
I suspect that a movement that took the 'ACAB' slogan mainstream did a pretty good job of demoralising the police, though, leaving them less effective even with increased funding. Why should they risk their lives for a society that hates them?
Depends on the sign. I guess I'm assuming it'd be "something obvious" but that could indeed be a really dumb assumption on my part. :)
What about ex-president?
Nordic is certainly heading this direction. They have a WiFi 6 companion chip already, and are presumably going to make a single package solution at some point: https://www.nordicsemi.com/-/media/Software-and-other-downlo...
I do. If public funds used to acquire public land aren't enough to make it accessible to the public, that's fine. Just seal it off and cart anyone on it off to jail. It shouldn't be a playground for the rich, partially funded by the taxpayer.
My nephew did. It was light choking until he tapped out.
It’s for me as well.
I wouldn't say that escaping a control is always a privilege escalation. Browsing like this doesn't access any data, privileged or not, and you already had internet access. You're still in a very tight sandbox.
All industries have a bad side to them but I guess you honing hard on the sex and drugs industry. Fossil fuels might kill us, but who cares. Funny how consensual actions upset some Americans, but the most sadistic violence is just fine with them.
I was just reminiscing about that myself.
You would need to allocate taxes to do that and also taxes on maintenance.

This solution didn't need any investment from the USG.
Not a philosophical point, but potentially a physical one.

The quantum no-cloning theorem says that it's physically imposible to make any copy of a quantum state, for example all of the state which comprises your body. But it is possible to transfer quantum state from one form to another. This is of course only true of the physical world if the assumptions of the no-cloning theorem are true. Let's assume they are.

Teleportation of your body including whatever quantum state you might consider important therefore must involves a process that appears, to an observer outside, to dissolve the state at one end simultaneous with recreating it at the other end. For some fuzzy definition of simultaneous; this is quantum state after all, and time is subject to the uncertainty principle just like position and momentum famously are.

The information transfer is analogous to transferring a box which the teleporter cannot look inside. You know it can't look as looking destroys the delicate contents. The teleporter cannot use non-quantum information to encode the contents. But the no-cloning theorem doesn't rule out translating quantum states to different forms, such as complex molecular states to light pulses and back. This is difficult, after all modest size quantum computers are difficult to build, maybe even impossible in practice, and they are much simpler than quantum teleportation of interesting size objects.

Squint a bit, and from a certain point of view, this is not destroying your body while creating a copy. It is an exotic form of physical movement, a bit like traversing a wormhole with your body retaining its integrity during the movement, except the wormwhole geometry is not spatial as we normally think of wormholes, it is instead a kind of complex state transformation analogous to geometry. But to you, it might appear that the universe around you is dissolved by the teleporter, then a new location of the universe is reformed around you, then you step out. No loss of physical continuity.
