I don’t know. I already have to click cookie buttons on every goddamn web site I visit, it’s annoying as hell. These EU initiatives can be a bit pointless.

Battery needs to be replaced like once every 2-3 years. Why change the device design to make battery user-replaceable when I can bring it to the repair shop?
> I don't know about any EU smartphone brands outside of Fairphone.

That's your problem then, don't you think?

Now, whether all of these are actually manufactured locally or not is another matter, but the EU definitely is regulating its own market. As they have been empowered to do so.

I'm all for it. And I would love to see standardized battery packs for electric vehicles as well because I think that will be a much bigger issue in the longer term.
The relevance is that the most important contribution genetics seems to make to obesity is the effect on the drive to eat. I learned a lot from this summary of obesity genetics:

There are regulations around repairability of cars for example. You just don't hear about those on HN. Plus all the safety regulations around aircraft, cars and aon on. Markets in which EU-based companies very much operate in.

This is a fair point and probably a big reason for how I feel. Another factor may be that I never played Atari games socially; I didn’t really have play dates at that age (~7-8), or if I did we pretty much strictly played outside. Also, I was an only child. I did however play NES and then SNES with cousins and school friends.
Coke says is not from their HFCS, and they only tell the truth,so is not from the sugary drinks for sure.
They cookie banners are the fault of the website owners. They did this on purpose so the users would blame the laws.

Smirk denied, I'm afraid. The manual (PDF at [1]) says:

> ... which causes the statement to have only the specified percent chance of being executed each time it is encountered in the course of execution."

Only the most willfully perverse reading of that would allow the xkcd approach, and while INTERCAL is undeniably perverse it isn't that sort of perversity.

Of course, none of this affects the fact the GPT paragraph I quoted is a complete fabrication.

So it's just about accuracy of recall then, not use of training data?

I think the most likely outcome will be to treat AI just like people. They're allowed to learn from any code they can see, but that doesn't mean that if they reproduce a copy from memory that it is somehow free of its original copyright.

That's very consistent with how copyright law already works.

This will leave AI users in a sightly awkward position where they are responsible for figuring out if they unknowingly used AI to unknowingly copy code, but it's not like that can't happen already - as soon as you hire a programmer you might be unknowingly allowing copied code into your product.
Yes, though is suspect it is cultural. A team that writes slow flakey tests probably writes slow flakey production code too, for the same reasons.
Ah! Then they really should give that factoid much better billing, including the title. Thank you once again.
> Context menus issues. If context menus are not displayed

Windows right click context menus are pita. I don’t know but for some applications I could never make them work. Case in point I struggle with recently: Windows Explorer > open a Windows Terminal in the current folder. I can do it if I right click the folder itself but once I open the folder and I right click the empty space inside there it doesn’t work (but I can open a Powershell there to make it even more confusing). Wasted so many hours on that but never could make it work.
List them in the FILES section of the man page. You have a man page, right?

Web based cryptography saved my ass, fifteen years ago when https wasn't even used for the site I logged into.

Then how can you trust what the server sends you at all?! Infinitely worse than the situation described in the article!

My attacker must have been someone on the school network. They deleted a lot of things (it was purely destructive) but I saw in access logs that they were stumped by the admin panel which asked for the password again. I had entered my password of course, but the login form had client-side hashing. They can take my session token, but my password was safe. I used the password in other places as well, I think even for my email because I wanted both to be secure and it was a good password (my logic as a 16-year-old), but it was never compromised.

I did change it in case they could brute force the hash at some point (small chance), but client side hashing saved my ass from passive observers. Later, I was a passive observer myself with airmon-ng, exploring public WiFis (no malicious intent, though). Writing and injecting custom data into the traffic was beyond my skill level, as it seemed to have been for those schoolmates.

TLS makes a lot of things better, but on the need-to-know principle, I still feel like client-side password hashing has merit. The server never needs to know your password, it just needs to do a quick single round with secret pepper to disallow a pass the hash attack.
not entirely relevant, but i remembered this quote from “zero to one” by thiel:

> Consider a statement from Google chairman Eric Schmidt’s testimony at a 2011 congressional hearing:

> We face an extremely competitive landscape in which consumers have a multitude of options to access information.

> Or, translated from PR-speak to plain English:

> Google is a small fish in a big pond. We could be swallowed whole at any time. We are not the monopoly that the government is looking for.
The Series S/X controller dpad is a pretty nice and clicky dpad. It's a farcry from the mush of the 360 or original Xbox and a step up from the Xbox One (which was already a lot better). I picked up one recently and even though on paper it's barely different from the Xbox One controller they made enough subtle tweaks and design changes that I actually really like it despite never really being a fan of the Xbox One controller.
I’d hate to lose waterproof feature on iPhone. For it’ll be dealbreaker.

This is a funny comment, given how the linked article ended.
Np :) And I agree, that really is an awesome part of this progress.
> Some of Ukraine's messages about the future are very optimistic, but it's always important to take forward looking statements with a grain of salt.

I don't understand what you tried to say. All statements about the future are statements of intent, not statements of fact. Grains of salt are not required when someone says something like "I'm going to join a gym and lose a couple of pounds." Ukraine puts out statements that are very optimistic about their future because that's their intention, and that's just it.
Interesting argument against democracy that you have in there - we should go back to monarchy. After all, it is not reasonable to expect every citizen to think about what is right, since instead they follow propaganda.
Especially if there are multiple places to read them from: current dir, PATH, classpath, $PROJECT_HOME, database, env vars... With env vars it would be handy to also know where they come from, is there a way? like having a timestamp when it was set, by what user and process.
Gigaset is a German company who manufactures and assembles in Germany. https://www.gigaset.com/hq_en/smartphones/ A German remarkting firm Volla sells them with their own Android. The swiss company Rephone also rebrands with upgrads the GS5 (6GB RAM instead of 4).

All the recent Gigaset phones have replaceable Batteries. I use a GS5 and a Rephone with SailfishOs.
> You could say that our generation grew up in a kind of perfect window for games, they got more complex as we got older, not just because we got older, but also because hardware allowed for more complex games/stories to be made.

This is very insightful. It makes me think I should maybe start by introducing my kiddo to 2600 games when they are old enough. Thanks!
No thread on SL is "complete" without mentioning that despite not having much in terms of gameplay in it, it managed to attract lots of "orphans" from Star Wars Galaxies - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Galaxies - specifically those who liked SWG for the non-combat elements, including social gatherings and roleplay.

All that plus tons of sexual content, of course.
I'm not "Trying to construct threads in bad faith" or "bikeshedding" or whatever else. It isn't a violation of the site guidelines to disagree with you.

Also, you accuse me of violating the guidelines, but your allegation never cites their text; whereas, in accusing me of "bad faith" you are violating an explicit statement in them ("Assume good faith")

the WebCrypto API has an exportable: false option, though the fact that there's no way to serialize a non-exportable key limits the usefulness of this.
How about you just fuck off instead?

Spamming every other thread with this nonsense is really a dumb way to go about achieving your stated goal. Doubly so because your account is anonymous to begin with. Read the site guidelines and send an email to the appropriate address.
Reddit managed to run on donations (Reddit Gold) for years. Why can't it do that now?
I'm at the seniority in my career where I still find stalking flattering. :)))

I think in every job you need to (a) do good work, (b) make that work visible. So at least some amount of self-advertisement is good both for the individual and the organization. You would wonder how much time I spend on "stalking" engineers and making their amazing work more visible towards our customers -- giving proper credit during our biweekly demos, of course.

Unfortunately, above a certain threshold (say about 20% of your time), self-advertisement is toxic. As far as I could notice, this happens in environments where people feel unsafe. This can happen both in industry and academia. However, you might be right that self-advertisement is more present in academia, given the tendance to assess individuals over teams and given the overall "squeeze". :)

Would you agree?
Phrase it the other way, why would they want to support a markdown editor in google drive?

Fair, but even in that statement its just weird to mix imagery involving music and silence unless they are being juxtaposed.

And, it opens with:

So which is it, something akin to music, albeit weird/poignant/sad/ethereal music, or is it a void?
In my experience, the current bottleneck with (Android) phones is that the get very slow without any apparent reasons after a few years.

I've had multiple reports of acquaintances complaining about their phones getting slow after a few years, and I've always assumed that they were just full of apps... until it happened to me. I can't find an unambiguois explanation; my guess is a mix of CPUs deteriorating over time due to heating, and disks due to cell degradation, but it's certainly a mystery.
The TA can just look at the chatlogs to see if you cheat.
People pay money to see a film at the cinema, yet they can't come back the next day to see it again for free.

People pay money for software, and cpu time, and storage space. That's what SL payments get you.

People give you money for your time, also intangible.
This is the sort of thing I’d invent. More a hobby than a business.

Technically cool, you can make up some use cases if you try hard enough. No real compelling purpose though.

I’ve spent many years building useless stuff that was technically cool.

If you discharge the battery first it won’t catch on fire if you puncture or overheat it.. so, don’t replace a fully charged battery and you should be fine.
Reminds me of when I was using bubblewrap (the tool Flatpak uses for sandboxing) to run programs from my main system on a tmpfs, to avoid changes to my main system.

I thought Beamrider, Jungle Hunt or H.E.R.O were pretty nice to play again. But there's not that much I would revisit otherwise. Funny enough Colecovision barely seemed better than Atari to me back in the days, but I started out with a Commodore 64 before a neighbor kid got that one. I was playing Commando and International Karate by that time.
This seems like the best place to ask, does anyone have any recommendations for a very simple notes tool that can be easily shared amongst a family or team?

Preferably mobile friendly, Even if just in browser.
Does Vertex AI's GenAI Studio block the word ChatGPT in its responses?
Facing this weird issue, I was trying out the GenAI Studio on GCP for fun, and tried to see what the LLM would respond with.Google's moderation policy seems to restrict any mention of the word ChatGPT. I tried a bunch of questions, but I have attached a screenshot of a few only. Is anyone else facing this issue?
Because most people won't:

- it's expensive

- it takes their phone away

If changing the battery is a one hour cheap deal, a lot more people may do it.

And I am very happy about those EU initiatives: this way I know what sites are tracking me and how much. This tells me which sites values annoying me with their banner so they can sell my data.

Have you noticed there is no banner on Hacker news despite the fact that:

- they serve in Europe

- they use cookies

That's because it's not about cookies, and the banner is only for privacy abusers.
It's also perhaps of interest that one of the few alternative OS efforts is still being led by ex-nokia folk out of Tampere, Finland. Jolla.

Much of the Plasma development for mobile is spear headed by devs in Germany (KDE folk).

Point being, the heritage of Nokia is not quite dead yet.
Yup. Page 19: "we focused on the 9th-January-2023 version of ChatGPT"
Exactly, with all cryptographic software you are trusting the distribution and update provider, along with your OS. There is always a level of trust.

With an app from an App Store you are trusting at a minimum:

- the vendor

- the App Store

- the update system for your OS

For a web app (via SSL) you are trusting:

- the vendor

- the browser and it's update system

- the OS and its update system

There is barely a difference in a world of auto updating software.
And also the ones before that explain the attention mechanism:

>I have a theory that in Sweden you must divide your work into 80/20: 80% self-advertising (bragging in meetings, etc.) and 20% actual work

Doesn't that depend more on company, size and industry than on country?

In big and inefficient companies everyone dedicates most of their time to visibility to the upper echelons, instead of actual work, as that's what gets you promoted. You loose a lot if you're the one actually doing the work, but none of the bigshots above you knows about it. You might even get laid off lol, I've seen it.

In small companies your productivity is more easily seen by those in charge of your paycheck so you can dedicate most of your time to that as you know that will be rewarded
> Moving to a different package format is usually trivial

It is not. It is more like tear down and rebuild everything. By humans. And env/configs on the top. Look on it from management perspective - sometimes zero technical knowledge but a lot marketing assurance of effortless continuation.

Because "format" is not the only variable, it realy means whole corporation install base. Even if you have build farms ready.

Just imagine that discussions: "There is only one way to be sure..." ;)
> In my mind, you can't get better value than XBOX for console games

Speaking of value, you should not be using Apple but go with Windows or Linux. The reason you went with Apple is the same reason people go for Playstation instead of Xbox.

The UVO organized a number of assassination attempts on some of the most renowned Polish and Ukrainian politicians, some of which were successful."

There’s a lot of fish that feed on corals. I would worry that inviting the fish back before the reefs are well established could cause the corals to get eaten and wiped out.
While it’s probably not easily, it was (to me) surprisingly easy to change the battery in my OnePlus 5. The battery itself was glued, but not in a way that removing it would destroy anything else. The other parts just required normal phone repair tools.
Speaking about the origin of Sony PlayStation divison (Sony Computer Entertainment), it was derived from Sony Music. Its origin was a content company than a hardware company.
Still waiting for GT 7, but honestly I can't justify buying a PS5 just for a game.
Submarines are not glued tight, yet they are waterproof.

Much bigger deal for Apple is design. Exposed screws sealing the back cover would give Jony Ive OCD ticks, I'm sure
That interpretation is incredibly generous to the companies that benefit from you feeling a need to replace that phone.
Rails Design Patterns
Yes.

- In design docs:

- use pseudocode for complex business logic, and/or algorithmic parts (similarly as it's used in scientific papers)

- Also use it when MSD (Message Sequence Diagrams) would be too complex, or too detailed

- Pro tip: If you're writing design documents and you're pressed for time, start by writing pseudocode. Later, if you have extra time, you can convert the simpler ones into diagrams or other relevant visuals.

- In code comments:

- use it in case when code is non-trivial, or hard to understand

- use it for a placeholder for yet to be written code, or in TODOs
An interesting implication is that it apparently also applies to devices like the Apple Watch and AirPods.
I like Joplin, and the sharing is done via Dropbox or a number of other backends. Have a Dropbox shared folder that everyone has access to, and you can edit notes. Joplin is a great note taker in general, as well, and the mobile app is great.
I enjoyed the article's focus on the less convenient mashup of the analog and the digital world. I really enjoy reflecting on that time pre-www. We use to have to go to record stores, magazine stores, and the movies to stay current. Sometimes it seems I experience depression instead of boredom with all these opportunities.

All of this seems possible in a deterministic system which evaluates whether or not to retain a piece of information based on past experience.
I also vastly prefer it when error messages give a hint about what reconfiguration you can do to fix it, including correct syntax and googleable terms.

So don't do: farblewarble too low.

Instead:

FarbleWarble is 1234 but need at least 5678. Edit /etc/whatever.conf and add: FarbleWarble="5678"

There is a special hell for programs that talk abut how the Burble is configured incorrectly , without any mention of FarbleWarble
If Xbox is dying, Game Pass killed it, not the (admittedly stupid) naming conventions.

this is my pet peeve with discussions of ‘free will’ they have an implicit definition—everything being exactly the same at a different time or place—that is non-sensical as far as we know.

I’m still disturbed by peoples confidence in a deterministic universe—I suppose such confidence is based on the success of inductive reasoning but inductive reasoning is a phenomenon based on how our minds work.

As far as I know the philosophical problem of causation is not considered solved?

In any case, elements of randomness seem likely to play a role in human intelligence but what that role is, who knows?
Yeah, you're not actually getting paid 2 extra salaries, it's just your yearly salary divided by 14 instead of 12. The only extra si you pay less tax on those 2 extra salaries so you get more money in your pocket before summer and Christmas.

do that enough times and it becomes a sizeable database. is it gonna be a derivative work then? at which size? some databases, like ones that point to and describe 'training data', are pretty much just 'saying if an image is blue'. describing what's on that image. is 'one annotation' a derivative work? is a million of them? either way, whatever's the number, it's apparently enough for those databases to put up a license on them, and regulate whether and on what terms are derivatives gonna be made of them.
Oh wow, I remember them from ISDN wireless phone times. All a bit large for me, but cool that they exist and do this :)
