No they are. I can't read this article but I remember a bit about its topic. Originally Scale raised funding with the premise of doing so much labeling for AI projects. But then it pivoted and now it's the main military contact for LLM stuff. I think it started with the USA Air Force. They are also hosting the LLM part of the next defcon demonstrations https://aivillage.org/generative%20red%20team/generative-red...
> Anything Apple can do to discourage web apps and force more development of native apps I'm grateful for.

As a vendor, I would love nothing more than to never have to deal with the app store again to reach iOS users with first class software.
> But that's why training of police is so important, and we as a society need to hold them to an incredibly high standard.

I agree they should be trained better and held to a high standard but they simply are not.
Usually, exactly the same price. Though the plain ones are often on special, as I guess they're less popular.
Imagine thinking the Allies didn't also use dishonest propaganda during WWII.
Nonsense - what could be more beneficial to society than providing imaginary "liquidity" by interposing yourself between legitimate buyers and sellers?

It's a bit like stock brokers - and why wouldn't we want stock brokers to operate at drastically faster-than-human timescales, because we all know the value of a company changes every nanosecond! And "flash crashes" create opportunities for investors to make huge amounts of money!

And just as crypto has poured money into GPU companies (providing opportunities for enterprising secondary market resellers of same) HFT has poured money into networking companies.

Short of creating the great firewall or helping governments slurp up all the traffic on the internet, what could be a more beneficial application of network technology?

HFT (like finance in general) has also gobbled up lots of tech grads, making it easier to find jobs at tech companies.
Hey folks, I'm launching UING, a tool that aims to simplify CSV analysis for everyone.

If you is tired of spending endless hours wrestling with CSV files, trying to make sense of your data maybe UING can save you ton of hours.
No complicated setup or installations required. Just select your CSV file, and you're good to go.

With UING, you can ask questions about your data in plain English.

Wondering about the "total sales amount for each product category"? Just ask, and UING's will show the results.

The best part? All the processing and analysis happen locally in your browser. Your data stays safe and secure on your device; nothing leaves your control. Privacy and confidentiality are our top priorities.

Would love some community feedback.

Thanks
Should the 911 operate not be able to verify the number and it’s location?

If not there is your problem. Fix the telecom network and prevent all spoofing of numbers.

Would solve lots of other things too
Is there a way to change some settings or something to make the official reddit app look more like RIF?
I actively avoid parents who are skeptical of vaccines, yes.

It’s thankfully not that many people.
Most swattings aren't the actual swat team but the police. A lot of streamers don't go to deep into it to not draw attention to it, but both ludwig and summits swattings were just cops.

Sometimes the cop does pull a gun, but it's honestly why this should be attempted murder. How do you blame the cop for pulling the gun on someone who was reported to already have killed 4 people and said they were going to kill another. The alternative is basically ignoring all threats pretending they're fake, putting the cops lives in danger in a real situation.

No announcement, no one saw it coming and the ones who knew were tight lipped. The care team had the biggest impact (therapists, coaches, management). They wiped out 2 specialty programs. The won't say why the ones laid off were chosen to be let go over others. Complete surprise, they very recently said there isn't a plan for cuts. It did not go by seniority or by performance, felt like names were picked out of a hat.
It's interesting to look at what made newspapers reasonably immune to such pressures in the years after Holt's book / lecture. I'm a bit hazy on details, but generally:

- Growth especially of large-city dailies and some consolidation of markets effectively gave newspapers some market leverage over most advertisers. There were still some somewhat-untouchable entities, but for the most part, a reasonably-strong editorial independence was achieved.

- It was also possible to go muckraking in another district --- outlying suburbs or cities elsewhere in a state or country, which didn't contribute advertising to that particular institution.

- Increased reliance on classified advertising and legal notices. Each of these were huge contributors to newspapers' revenues, whilst at the same time giving relatively little risk of an advertising boycott. The dawn of Internet classifieds (Craigslist gets a lot of blame, but it was pretty much inevitable, someone would enter that niche) was absolutely devastating in that regard.

There's another bit of media history that I think pairs excellently with the Holt book. It's a 1970s interview with I.F. ("Izzy") Stone, on the PBS programme "Day at Night". That's on YouTube, which is ... somewhat less accessible to me with its current shenanigans, but might be available here:

<https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=qV3gO3zxQ1g>

<https://youtu.be/watch?v=qV3gO3zxQ1g>

In particular, Stone calls out the distinction between major city dailies, which had strong editorial independence over local businesses and politicians in the 1970s, versus small-town and rural newspapers, which were far less independent. Keep in mind that this interview occurred in the shadow of the Watergate scandal, in which two reporters literally brought down the President of the United States --- it was a high-water mark for journalistic independence and power.

I return to both these references often.

> I wonder if there have been any studies done on this topic.
Just look at Tokyo.

Cali is definitely desirable. Majority of the people leave because of the cost of the living, i,e housing is just too expensive. If only we could just adopt Tokyo's zoning model
110% agree... I have occasionally today looked at my phone like Hm....... nothing to do here, and then just stared out the window. There's always opportunities to learn instead, but I already learn for hours a day.
noted! I'll try to put a roadmap together at some point.
Because if you have the disposable income to pay to block ads, your attention is absolutely tantalizing to an advertiser.
Ask HN: Is the internet as we knew it, dead?
Just looking at the major websites, I can't help but think that they're increasingly getting locked down and heavily monetized. Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, Pinterest, Tiktok, etc.

What went wrong? Why did we go from having a world-wide web that used to be freely accessible to everyone, to a set of silos that only serve money generating customers?

How did we go from a proliferation of ideas in the form of various websites and forums to centralized gated websites (e.g., Reddit)?

Is this going to tackle all paid fake reviews, aka ads?
Apparently the default rate for pay later loans was astronomically low during the pandemic, and it kicked back up again afterwards, probably compounded by rampant inflation. Additionally, the way to get such a loan is "own an iphone" which is way more accessible than having to sit at a bank and talk to a guy, or even do it on your bank's app. If this trend continue I could see lawsuits (with or without merit) about how vetted loanees actually were.
I'm part of a lot of smaller women-centered communities on reddit - my favorite subreddits were r/MoneyDiariesACTIVE, r/FIREyFemmes, r/girlsgonewired r/adhdwomen, r/AmateurRoomPorn, r/AskWomenOver30, etc. Not all of these are explicitly for women only but they all have a majority female user base. I don't think there are equivalents in a forum-type format; I'd probably have to go to TikTok or something, but I don't care for that format so I'll probably just lose those communities for the most part.
Blanket forgiveness has a much higher likelihood of being accepted. Means testing is a great way to kill programs.

Also 75th percentile income is only $88k which is certainly not upper middle class wages these days, and that is right around where the distribution of money/household gets a bit fatter. "Middle class" isn't really 50th percentile any more these days.

If the only requirement is "using no JavaScript", you know that you don't need CSS either, right? Dark web chatrooms just use frames — one frame to render the chat transcript (using a forever-loading "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" HTML page); the other with a plain old <form> with an <input type="text"> and a <submit>.
I can't stand the offset sticks on the Xbox controller - feels much more natural to me to have both thumbs in the same position. And I massively prefer the shape of the PS4 controller to everything else, including PS5.

My ideal controller would be the PS4 shape and layout, but with the dpad and triggers from the Xbox one/series controller (the PS5 haptic feedback is nice, but hardly any games I play actually use it effectively, and I like the shape of the Xbox triggers more).
"no one forced your speech" if you support forcing independent artists or businesses to make stuff with messages they dont' support then you support "forced speech".

"this form of discourse" what form? defending simple statements? Attacking strawman attacks? Celebrating freedom of speech and the defense of freedom of religion? If the discorse isn't allowed here? why not?

what are you afraid of hearing?

“When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”

Here's some simple rules. I basically just read about these and then stole the ideas. I wish I had data to back this up and it seems to be working.

- No single bet can be more than 5% of all money. The small bet sizes are what really saves your bacon in that even if a few lose 10+% you're still fine overall.
- I'm also limiting the amount of shares I bet and try to keep it in the low hundreds so that I get really fast fills.
- I have something that stops everything if I lose more than 1k in a day.

I don't do anything to measure overall risk or volatility. Almost everything I'm in is highly volatile. I'm basically betting as things go up and then try to cash out. Sometimes you hit the top.

Yeah, I inspect all the trades at the end of the day, well and during the day, and try to feed anything new back into the system. This is 100% manual. But, like if a single trade loses $100 or something definitely I'm in there looking at what happened.
The point was that it isn't that simple.

Let me try to make the point in a another way.

Let's say a gay person asks her to create a website for their friends "normal" marriage, she is fine with it and takes their money. She didn't discriminate against their sexuality, she rendered the service to a gay person just fine, the difference is the product.

Now let's flip it, a straight person askes her to create a website for their gay friends wedding. She now has refused service based on the product sold.

The question the court needs to answer where is the line drawn, they have chosen it.
Religion is also protected, racism has no religious base, what is deemed marriage is.

The argument to be made is that she does not believe that marriage between gay people is right and she refused service on those grounds, whether asked by either sexuality.

This is all hypothetical but the point is the argument isn't trivial, how you frame it makes a big difference.
Oh, I see that. Better than nothing.

I also have a couple fixes on https://userstyles.world/style/6382/my-youtube-fixes which you can apply using the Stylus addon, these compact the layout a bit more, lowers contrast of "calls to action" like the Subscribe or comment buttons, as well as attempts to make the Theater view actually take all of the available screen space (without being actually fullscreen).
When you consider the police response to actually dangerous situations like a school shooting, what's the point of having the swat gear?

They're going to wait until the shooter has shot all of the children at least once and run out of bullets before going in.

It's pretty well known that the police have no responsibility to help in a dangerous situation, only to arrest people once the situation has ended

It’s entirely ok to be skeptical in general!

When you wholeheartedly reject evidence that doesn’t support your preconceived judgement, you’re not being skeptical.
Which is even worse. Regular police officers with a high school diploma and a few weeks worth of training (if even that) showing up at your door with military surplus equipment wanting to play hero.
Maybe to using Twitter on a sustained basis, sure. However I imagine there’s a decent-if-not-majority chunk that accesses tweets via Google/friends/news articles/etc
I and another old mutual friend of Dave's were both on his pre-RSS DaveNet mailing list for a long time past when it stopped being interesting, and we would always joke about how we were both afraid to ask him to remove us from DaveNet, because whenever somebody else would ask to be removed, it would hurt Dave's feelings, and he'd talk smack about them behind their back after begrudgingly removing them, so we suspected we weren't the only ones afraid to unsubscribe. At least RSS made it possible to unsubscribe from his feed without hurting his feelings. (My friend's mom was his high school teacher in New York, and his wife was Dave's first kiss in high school, so they had some hilarious stories!)
In your system, are regular people allowed to save up enough so they no longer have to work? Or must their savings erode continually so that they're forced to work forever?
Random question, CSS is a style language, but the intent was that there could be others, are there any other style languages that are alternatives?
Reminds me of Captain Hindsight from South Park, where he flies over to the burning building and clarifies all the (in hindsight super obvious) structural flaws in the building leading to the fire and everyone being trapped in a burning building. Then flies away amidst they cheers of onlookers and trapped victims alike.
The problem was never CommonJS. The problem was never ESM.

The problem has always been, and continues to be, stubborn backward compatibility. Node is making the same mistake that Microsoft made with Windows, that Apple did not make with OSX - rather than letting go of a system that's been outgrown and forcing the userbase to grow, they cling to the old way and the old API, allowing it to ferment.

This is the fault of the team working on Node and leadership making poor choices, including TC39.
We know how much we all love ads. Let's have more of them!
I don't really care for either of them but Zuck is going to totally destroy Musk. I would put every penny I have on Zuckerberg. I would think the board and shareholders for Tesla, etc should be terrified if the fight is allowed to go, Elon will be killed.
Ubuntu is also more popular with home users by a good margin.

That has absolutely nothing to do with enterprise entrenchment.
It baffles me that governments ever relied on an unprofitable ad-supported company to provide critical communications, especially where alternatives exist (email, putting notice on a website.)

And if it’s life or death, there’s Emergency Alert System. Goes on TV, radio, and straight to your phone, complete with the Cold War-era alert tone. I hope Twitter merely supplemented that?
good maybe now people will stop linking tweets.
* The text describes a 35-year-old man, looking far older than his age, living in a disorganized, cold room filled with cigarette ends, half-empty tea cups, and piles of paperwork. He is a writer, specifically a book reviewer, who is constantly overwhelmed by his work and struggles with procrastination, distractions, and a chaotic environment.
* This man is constantly sent numerous books for review, most of which are on topics he knows little about, forcing him to read extensively to avoid inaccuracies in his reviews. Despite the paralyzing dread he feels about starting his reviews, he always manages to meet his deadlines.
* The author comments on the thankless, irritating, and exhausting nature of the job of a book reviewer, stating that most reviews give inadequate or misleading accounts of the books they discuss. The job requires the reviewer to constantly invent reactions to books they may have no feelings about.
* The author criticizes the system in which all books are reviewed, stating that this results in overpraising a majority of them. He emphasizes that the reviewer’s truthful reaction would often be disinterest or a claim of the book's worthlessness, but these honest reactions are not what the public wants to read.
* The author suggests a solution: ignoring most books and only giving extensive reviews to a select few that matter. He also compares the plight of a book reviewer to a film critic, stating that at least the former can work from home, while the latter often has to sacrifice their time and integrity for little reward
This is sad, but the silver lining is that the official app is horrible enough that it will more or less force me to go cold turkey on breaking my Reddit addiction.
Firstly, agreed totally about identity.

Secondly, signing every message wouldn’t be impractical at all, I don’t think. We’ve had the technology to do this for a long time and it’s very simple. What we don’t have is good key management. For average users, this would have to be something provided by their devices (phone or the Secure Enclave in your Mac or whatever) - managing keys and the web-of-trust shamozzle are the main reasons why encrypted email for everyone never took off.
Absolutely, the restrictions on dense housing development combined with the global hunt for yield caused by low/zero interest rates are the root cause for most of these issues. Policymakers were trying to keep the long term debt cycle alive a bit longer, but that's created its own massive issues.

And yet his older CJS versions get weekly downloads that are magnitudes higher than the newer ESM versions.

I'm working on greenfield projects that leadership is still insisting we avoid ESM-only packages for. The move that Sindre (and others like wooorm) made has not been well-received.

and yes, I totally get that there's a wider point to be made in reddit and twitter both going hostile on the same day.
The Internet I loved was full of random forums and text websites. If anything, I'm rejoicing and hoping this will mean less centralized forums.

Y'all realize you can just not use reddit and Twitter right? You can host your own forum on the Internet

Ever since twitter was bought, I deleted my account. I don’t want to be on the seasaw roller coaster.

I was just about to open one now. Not anymore. There used to be a lot of good stuff on twitter. Now it doesn’t matter.

I have a quora account, but I don’t use quora because it is difficult to use without account. I have a stack exchange account. But I never login.

I browser anonymously including HN. It’s nice this way.
Do hostage takers usually murder their only leverage as soon as a cop car pulls up? Certainly if someone has broken into my house trying to murder me, I'd be thrilled with two armed regular old officers showing up at my door to investigate the situation.

I'm sure there are situations where a swat team is genuinely needed, but I'm also sure those cases make up an extremely small percentage of the times they're actually used. In any case, if police are called out to an innocent person's house and they kill the innocent people there it shows pure incompetence on the part of the officers involved. A little restraint and a lot more training would probably go a long way to preventing tragedy.
What does the Captcha even provide in this case? I (somewhat) understand when they're used to used to prevent the automated creation of free accounts or whatnot, but for a company I'm paying, they already have a much higher bar that I've passed: giving them money. A bot farm that is actively handing you money in order to use your service is the opposite of a problem.
That’s clever, I love these kinds of hacks.
You’re asking why people like privacy. There are plenty of long essays about this topic.
I am still somewhat shocked that they went through with this.

I built a Reddit API[1] alternative as a form of protest, they responded by blocking my personal Reddit account. Very sad what Reddit has become.

I agree the question is not well formed, but it’s easier to understand if you read this story (OP mentioned but did not link):

Basically the Zig language is moving away from using LLVM in its backend. One backend they are adding is one that generates C.

I guess if I had to restate the OP’s question, I would say:

What are the trade offs in making a compiler target LLVM versus C in its backend.
