A colleague built a building in Abu Dhabi about five years ago. He is still trying get a street address assigned to the building. Navigation instead works based on landmarks. So is someone asks the address you say the 'white building behind the BMW dealership'. I have a feeling that's why no one wants to teardown landmarks.
First check if that can be done with a port forwarder or socks proxy.

New principles on use of AI in education
I hope that was sarcastic. FWIW I think that government institutions, educational institutions, banks, insurance companies, health care service providers etc should use only open standards. No proprietary stuff at all. So no banking apps, no voting apps, calendar apps, no healthcare claim apps and definitely no client side software (Mac or Windows). Just the web and properly managed infrastructure.
The fact that's being presumed is that "people" approve of corporate welfare.
They're presented as a hypothetical scary technology, not something that actually exists today. That framing is important to the conversation. The author is acting like there's a decision to be made. Pretending that open source models don't exist yet makes the decision artificially more difficult.

Why not examine the usage of existing models and judge them on their merits?
Precisely.

The whole point of these massive projects in Dubai, Qatar, Saudi, etc... is effectively make-work for those who might have the ability to one day overthrow the king....and to make it appear to the populace at large that yes, the ruling families are living super lavishly, but they are* trying to improve the country as a whole to attract FDI, international companies (and universities), etc.. all to improve the country's international image.

*I mean that as loosely as possible. Most middle eastern kings don't give a damn about the general population as long as their power isn't threatened.

Disclaimer: my dad was recruited by the Neom project in Saudi but turned it down. We have a family friend who was high up in the project and said it was effectively a massive pay day for consultants who did nothing besides wax the egos of Saudi princes who want to look good. The project is ambitious as hell and may or may not ever get finished. All that said, the Saudi princes who want to look good don't actually do anything. Much like how the military is staffed by sons of elite families, they aren't educated to actually do what is necessary, because they grew up with beyond-fuck-you-money and never actually had to do any work.

> Companies with more resources than small countries are often too big to regulate because they capture the regulators and/or the judiciary.

Regulatory capture is entirely the fault of the regulator. They don't have to be captured. They choose to be. A government body, funded by taxes, that decides to be captured, is a complete disgrace. People work hard to pay taxes, and they shouldn't be spent on employing people who choose to align with those they should be regulating.

> Prevention is cheaper than treatment, especially when treatments have proven so ineffective.

The same state that has the power to prevent has the power to treat. It chooses not to. Switching approach won't help. Getting regulators to do their jobs will.
For example, Germany is pushing for solar and wind cos Siemens is producing those and its popular cos people somehow think there are no drawbacks to them… They could have operated their nuclear plants for at least another decade of there was political will for it…

>We are in the yellow, but and biggest culprits for blocking time are...Google Tag Manager, GAds and GAnalytics.

This has been the case for over a decade with Google's "Lighthouse" analysis tool as well. I used to use it as part of a site analysis suite for my clients - a good portion of the time, my smaller clients would end up deciding to replace Google Analytics entirely with a different product because of it.
Sure, but that's performative nonsense. If Goog/FB were actually banned, there'd be a real commercial motive to build a clone.
My greatest fear is when they decide they don't know what to do with FPGAs anymore and get rid of Altera (please do this, Intel, your website doc format is awful compared to good old Altera's)

Funnily enough, Intel did used to make PLDs in the 90s. And back then, Altera actually rebranded and sold them!
I'm 90% sure it was, but it looks like they did a major UI update to the site so it's not triggering the "that was it!" lightbulb in my brain.
> Always having a map on me which has almost every business on it? Immediately finding where something is and getting turn-by-turn directions?

This was already possible with Win CE, I had a palmtop with gps and voice navigation, maps for whole Europe were stressing that compact flash card space, but it was almost as good as current maps. Lot's of POI's too.

> Always being in contact with friends across nations. Discord servers!

Yeah, we had irc and email and ICQ too (working effortlessly on 100mHz pentium).

> Yeah, your desktop is slower and more aggravating to use, but we're living in a world only science fiction could have dreamed of. :D

It's just that average user doesn't care that much about speed, so UI's are tweaked for look until they are barely usable on prev-gen devices, but good enough on latest shiny ones. On the other hand - all those need for more hardware speed gave us truly new possibilities, but somehow apart from better graphics I can't remember anything I could only dream of (maybe discovering plants or birds from photo, which was deemed "too hard" by XKCD[0] in 2014).

I hate to nitpick, but the Eiffel Tower is made of iron, not steel. Doubtless, some of the remodels have probably introduced steel, but not in the main structural part.

> illegal housing discrimination

Ethics aside, I'm not sure it's actually illegal in the US. Discrimination is only banned for protected classes, and I don't think those include field of study or work.

Nationally[1], the classes are race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. Some states have additional protected classes[2], but I don't think they include this.

How many people use multiple external displays? For the power users who do, there are already good enough solutions.
I love HN and UX articles. Every time this comes up, the thread is full of smart people disagreeing with these principles.

The reason these need to be written down in the first place is that they can be counter-intuitive.
> Just like most digital interfaces nowadays, DisplayPort sends its data in packets. This might sound like a reasonable expectation, but none of the other popular video-carrying interfaces use packets in a traditional sense – VGA, DVI, HDMI and laptop panel LVDS all work with a a stream of pixels at a certain clock rate.

Funny, a stream of data at a constant rate makes much more sense to me intuitively than packets, specifically for uncompressed video.

Are there any downsides to packetization, like increased latency or dropped frames or anything? Or not really, is it all upsides in being able to trivially combine multiple data streams or integrate easily into hubs?
I'm looking too, but that one linked has HDMI out only, with DP and HDMI in. Don't you lose the benefit of DP with this setup?
I don't quite understand, though - is there a certain length it needs to exist before it can be torn down without judgement? The article mentions the Dubai Pearl, which broke ground in the early oughts finally being demolished.

Admittedly, I don't know as much about the individual emirates as I could, but Dubai seems like the most reckless of the bunch. The Palm, the (World) Islands, it seems like they're just throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks. I wouldn't touch anything there with a ten foot pole, investment-wise.
I think a lot of automated policing would help in the streets. It's probably not a popular point of view, but so many people don't care at all and nothing is enforced. Cars driving like it's real life madmax. Cars driving without license plates. People running red lights. It makes the streets the wild west and a lot of much worst crimes happen as a result of it, since once someone is gone from the crime scene, very little happens to them as they blend in a sea of lawlessness on the roads.
I tried to switch to EMacs a year or so ago. I used it for a couple months and I enjoyed the configurability in elisp.

One of the last straws for me was that when scrolling down, the cursor moved to stay on the screen. This is one of the quirks of it being a TUI originally. (There is of course a package to for this functionality, but I found it would break frequently.)
Not all songs are released as singles, and it's silly to buy a CD with only one song in it. So people just sailed the high seas.
Yes, exploring http/3 is on the roadmap. One of the learnings for us was the fact that v8 is quite good with caching open TCP connection; For consecutive queries the same TCP+TLS session is being reused. Even when queries are sent from unrelated V8 isolates.
None of them are perfect, but I've heard good things about the DP switch from Level1techs. The thing is, all of them are a little tricky, but they mostly differ in how quirky they are, and I suspect the reason why people like the Level1techs DP switch is that they seem to at least try to alleviate some of the issues DP switches tend to get into.

The startech one I have is alright... But Apple computers absolutely hate it and frequently refuse to display, and sometimes Windows gets stuck and USB devices stop working. Strangely enough... Linux doesn't ever have any problems with either display or input. A rare win, but fine by me.
As opposed to where? At least they're trying, rest of the world has not build meaningfully either in quite a long time. Maybe only China
As you'll note, the Homebrew blog doesn't mention either the EU or GDPR. Please don't confuse others' editorializations for official views.
> Reusing bit shift operators for IO is quite clever actually

It's a miserable trap. Operators should do something in particular, because of the Principle of Least Surprise. The reader who sees A + B should be assured we're adding A and B together, maybe they're matrices, or 3D volumes, or something quite different, but they must be things you'd add together or else that's not a sensible operation for the + operator.

When you don't obey this requirement, the precedence will bite you as, as it does for streams. Because you forgot, these operations still get bit shift precedence even though you're thinking of this as format streaming it's just a bit shift and happens when you'd do a bit shift...

Streams looks like something dumb you'd do to show off your new operator overloading feature, because that is in fact what it is. It should have existed like Mara's whichever_compiles! macro for Rust - as a live fire warning, "Ha, this is possible but for God's sake never use it" - but instead it was adopted for the C++ standard library.
The only downside with DP is just devices that actually have that versus HDMI / Mini hdmi.

This post though has made me annoyed as DP is clearly the better standard.
I've known this was possible for many years; but on a lark, I just wrote a microfunction that opens, in my local Emacs, a remote file I often have to edit as root. I don't live in Emacs, but there's no denying that, if I'm already in Emacs and I need to edit this file, I just saved myself a small amount of faffing about; I've also added my local init as a site for future automations.

In some ways academia is akin to a religion or cult that sprang up around the scientific method, and the cult has now diverged as far from the seed as far right christianity has from jesus’s teachings
> However, I’d like to tell you that you probably should pay more attention to DisplayPort – it’s an interface powerful in a way that we haven’t seen before.

Lines like that really show just how long it can take for standards to get on the radar of mainstream tech culture. I remember hearing about and being excited about DisplayPort's move to packetized digital video in college in 2008, and seeing the first Macs with MiniDisplay port later that year (or perhaps it was in 2009)!

I was actually under the impression that it has been well-known and commonplace for hobbyist and enthusiast PCs for well over 10 years, but I'm probably wrong about that!
There's a useful principle of focusing on the big picture items first, moving off non-renewable methane by doing the easiest thing that works. Hydrogen is at least marginally cleaner than methane, but if it's cheaper to change methane supplies than rebuild an industrial plant, that's still most of the win!
Howcananyonearguethatwhitespacehasnosemanticsignificance?
Because (consumer) ethernet is low bandwidth compared to whats needed for video. DisplayPort 2.0 provide a 80Gbps link. HDMI is 48Gbps. Both already use DSC which is a mezzanine compression as this is already saturated for immediate needs.

Ethernet is absolutely used for media transport outside of the consumer space. Particularly where there's a need to distribute signals further than what DP or HDMI can provide. The challenge is this always comes with a trade off. Any compression will result in some mix of a loss of image quality, increase to latency, and cost. What that mix looks like differs across applications.

See https://sdvoe.org/, https://ipmx.io/, https://www.intopix.com/flinq, https://www.aspeedtech.com/pcav_ast1530/ for more in that space.

https://hdbaset.org/ is the other key tech. That uses the same PHY as ethernet, but is a proprietary signal.
I think it's safe to say that, if a large entity with monopoly of force wants to stop these models from being used, they probably could. We already have a global surveillance machine watching us all, and normalized content takedowns for lesser reasons like "copyright infringement" and "obscene/exploitative material". Actual manufacturing & distribution of compute power is fairly consolidated, and hacker culture seems to have lost its activist edge in demanding legal rights around general-purpose computing. The future seems bleak if your threat model includes state actors enforcing AI regulation due to state-level safety concerns (terrorism, wmd production, large-scale foreign propaganda, etc).
I'm going to go against the grain here and say that the quoted statement does not seem entirely false at all. It is reductionist, but it highlights the fact that the models are indeed just generating numbers confined to a GPU, and don't have inherent agency. Some human has to wire up the model to the internet and enable it to interact with the world by whatever mechanism, and even then it's limited to the digital world, unless there's an API to stab someone or derail a train.

We should focus more on the making infrastructure safe from abuse and not how to cripple AI models for them to not realize how to do harm. More like 'How to ensure humans don't drop atomic bombs on each other' rather than 'How to make atomic bombs safer to drop on people'.
> I'd love to see a NeoEmacs that addresses some of these issues

I believe the Nyxt browser project is eventually looking to add editing support. If they manage to do that robustly it might be just what you’re looking for.
Audio over HDMI or DP has never been anything but a nuisance on my windows workstations. Windows finds a way to set the speaker monitor/mic as the system defaults at least once a month for me. Every GPU driver update I end up disabling the display's audio in device manager. Hrm... maybe I could write a script to do it at boot.

I think it could make sense in budget friendly setups, but... personally I'd pay extra to not have to deal with the nuisance and security risk of microphone input I can't physically disable.

Literature and Programming Are Similar
1. Both are about texts

2. Both types of texts are processed by some interpreter (either CPU or human mind). In the first case we get the sequence of actions as a result, in the second case we get a sequence of the images.

3. In both cases the creator is like a God who creates a kind of universe "from scratch". No any limits for creativity.

With SEO it's entirely the case of Google being Google and just doing whatever they fancy. Core changes aren't often to the benefit of the scene these days. The little space that isn't paid ads is often useless these days.

Generally when people argue in favor of a monolith over micro-services, it's not for completely/mostly isolated business functions (i.e. BI pipelines vs. CMS CRUD), it's more for when responding to a single request of group of requests already implicates many services that must all work together to respond to the request(s); in this case, you're still smoked if any one of those services handling a part of the request chokes, you're in fact multiplying your opportunities for failure if you're using micro-services.

Monoliths should be stateless (if achievable) and have no concept of partial success in cases where you would like atomicity unless everything is truly idempotent (easier said than achieved). If those criteria are met then callers just need to retry in the event of failure which can be set up for basically free in most frameworks.

If you're pushing fatal recurring bugs into production, then that is a separate problem wider than the scope of a monolith vs. micro.
Twitter is “culturally relevant” in that events (actually most often “pseudo-events” as defined by Daniel Boorstein [1]) on Twitter frequently get amplified in other media.

One example is the time somebody make a fake Eli Lilly account, tweeted “insulin is now free” and it is alleged this caused a temporary drop in Eli Lilly stock. A similar example is that time J.K. Rowling got dogpiled by gender activists.

The key thing is that the reification in the media has a larger impact than the actual tweets which are viewed by far fewer people over a much shorter time.

There is also mini and micro HDMI.

I use my PC to drive a TV for gaming and all I have to do is switch the sound output in Windows from Speakers to TV and I'm good to go. No need for splitters and multiple cables to get sound to both devices. The only thing I would change is to have Windows support outputting audio to both devices regardless, but keeping the settings menu open to the right page isn't really an inconvenience.

All of my consoles work the same way: just run a single HDMI cable for each one.

The counter point might be that my TV would have "bad audio." But I don't think so (at least not at the volumes I prefer), and even if it did, it supports audio out to connect the TV audio to a separate hi-fi.

The Synology Photos UI feels much more polished and it includes a mobile app. Synology Photos only has community mobile apps, which weren't well maintained. And last I checked Photoprism did not have multi-user support. Synology Photos feels much more like something I could get my partner and kids to adopt.

The downside is that Synology Photo's database schema and API are not officially documented, but you can find people who have documented them and since it's on a machine you own you have unlimited access to them, so it's still a big step up from Google Photos and Apple Photos which are chock full of restrictions - e.g. Apple Photos doesn't even have a web API.
