Or maybe these studios need to stop making stupid movies that nobody cares about anymore. Flash? Seriously?

Promote actual movies a little more rather than spending hundreds of millions on dumb movies and leaving no room for real cinema.
I'm reminded of that time The Wiggles opened for Rammstein ..
Funnily enough I clearly remember typing Largest Contentful Paint. But it turns out I typed First :)

My point still stands.

"The First Contentful Paint (FCP) metric measures the time from when the page starts loading to when any part of the page's content is rendered on the screen." [1]

Unless your server is overwhelmed, and can't send back data fast enough, there's literally no way to call "1 second before anything is rendered on screen is fast".

In the context of the tweet this is even more egregious. They were talking about Reddit's yet another redesign, and how it was fast. Reddit is a website that displays text and images. Their server responds in 200 milliseconds max. And yet, they were talking about how spending 0.9 seconds to display some info (menu on the left?), and 2.4 seconds to display actiual content is fast.

And that comes from "engineering leader at Chrome". We are at a point in time where people literally don't understand what fast is.

I believe Nat is referring to a full stop rather than menstruation in the sentence about crying into tiktok.
Do you know what sucks? DisplayLink. It's 2023, and the best we have for 3 monitors (MacBook Pro, and 2 external monitors) is basic screen scraping with software drivers if you want to use a single cable... otherwise you have to fall back to 2 cables (one for power + first monitor, and one HDMI).

The other reason why DisplayLink sucks is performance (or lack of) - what they don't tell you on the box. Video is like 16FPS on my third monitor!
I think the whitespace issue is mostly due to the ubiquity of touch interfaces. Even a good chunk of laptops do have touchscreens now, so deskop designers have to consider them even if they didn't eat the adaptive pill.

With computer mouse you can use much smaller and denser controls of course.
My local credit union did the same exact thing, after the class action lawsuit i got a $20 settlement for about $120 they stole from me. Absolutely insane how they were still able to keep some of the stolen money, meanwhile there are people behind bars for using counterfeit 20$ bills.

HFCS is sugar, yes, an especially unhealthy form. Probably pushed for political/economical reasons in the US because it can be made domestically from corn, it’s way less prevalent in other areas. Eg in Germany, it has to be declared as glucose-fructose-syrup starting at 5% fructose, and as fructose-glucose-syrup starting at 50% fructose. The overwhelming majority of products I‘ve encountered contains just „glucose-syrup“ or plain sugar (usually from sugar beet, which is grown domestically).

Fructose is ok to consume in amounts that are typical for fruit (which is less than you‘d think), but is a metabolic disruptor in higher amounts. Liver cells have to do a lot of work to metabolize fructose, compared to glucose which needs quasi no conversion. As to health effects of fructose, I‘ve found it hard to determine which studies are reliable, because there is just so much money in this industry, and high interest to influence research. But the metabolic complexity it brings is undeniable, and one could argue that fructose is kinda like a poison we have adapted to - if we lack key enzymes, we can’t metabolize it.

Glucose is harder on the pancreas and chronic high insulin seems to be really bad, so I‘d avoid that too of course. But a reasonably healthy liver can quickly buffer excess glucose (hepatocytes) and rather easily convert to glycogen and store it, in big amounts.
A generic laptop has much less peripheral ports and also slower peripheral ports and a much slower CPU.

There are a lot of users who need many other peripherals besides keyboard and mouse and who prefer to not use a ton of dongles. Sometimes no dongle can help with a laptop, because the aggregate throughput of all its USB ports is just too small.

A NUC is much faster than a generic laptop which uses the same CPU, because it has much better cooling. In all recent 0.5 L NUCs the CPU can dissipate 35 W forever without overheating.

No generic laptop can do that. There are plenty of gaming laptops or mobile workstations that can match or exceed the speed of a NUC, but those cost between two and eight times more than a NUC, so a NUC or a similar SFF computer is a much better value than such a laptop and even together with a portable monitor and a compact keyboard it is easier to carry in a backpack than a big and heavy laptop. I have done this for years.
So much this, try in Germany, you will eventually get ghosted if you don't make the effort of learning German.
The android app is pretty good, but no offline support really limits its usability.

Imo, every mobile app should have some kind of offline support. The fact that I'm unable to access my notes if I'm not online means anything I require under an unreliable network has to go in a different app. Just a quick example, my local supermarket is underground which means I often don't have signal there. So I can't replace my regular notes app with this for my supermarket list.

But being open source, it means there's a lot of space to grow and supposedly this is a planned feature; so I guess, just gotta wait or try to do it myself :)

Here's an example of the issue at hand: https://www.womensforumaustralia.org/tribunal_says_men_who_i...

A group of lesbian women want to hold female-only events, but they're not permitted by law to exclude the heterosexual males who call themselves lesbian women.

Similar conflicts apply to most other women's spaces, between the women who want to maintain these spaces as female-only, and the males who want to gain access to these spaces on the basis that they identify themselves as women or female.
And some speak Italian!

Small note though: I highly doubt they speak German... that would rather be Swiss-German.
I think spez completely forgot about the fact they had a way to export data as JSON everywhere. That's basically 80% of what a reddit client needs and basically all an LLM model needs for training.
Side Topic: In the leaked OpenAI GPT-training details, there are speculations that OpenAI trained on Libgen dataset. Is there a link to the dataset of Libgen, if so how big is it?
Operator overloading is one of the cornerstones of generic programming in C++. And perhaps it is a failure of imagination on my part, but it’s difficult to think of a more elegant approach.
We the job applicants are shocked at how little effort recruiters put into evaluating our applications.

Then they have the temerity to use automated tools. So the odds are; your several hours of effort have been rejected in milliseconds by some poorly trained AI.

As a further grievance, multiple agencies will post the same contract position, but with sufficient variations to lull you into thinking that they are different jobs.

you can. create a vpn connection to your aws vpc (either via some custom solution or a managed one), install and configure your laptops and there you go.

this is essentially what the "hybrid cloud" approach is: you have some things in the cloud and some other things in a physical datacenter where you have your own machines.

there are some issues and limitations that you'll find though:

- networking (bandwidth & latency)
- OS updates and security
- reliability (power outages)
- thermals & cooling

and probably something more that i'm forgetting.

as long as you're fine with the tradeoff, you can definitely do that.
It took me a while to understand what you were talking about at the end there. I think the author is referring to a grammatical period ('sorry' vs 'sorry.'), not the menstrual kind, lol.
I think it will take a long time until we will see their phones again in the west.

Google has a very effective hold on the market; no one is going to buy a 1.000 USD phone they cannot use for banking and common apps even if the HarmonyOS operating system in itself is solid enough.
You mean election type voting?

Screen scraping is the least of the problems.

Voting machines are simply not trustworthy given these requirements for a free and fair election:

0. Freedom to vote or not

1. Anonymity in that no vote may be associated with the voter who cast it

(These two are most of why e-voting is not trustworthy and are what differentiates banking from voting.)

2. Transparency. The law, means, methods must all be known to the voting public. It is their election. In particular, seeing how a cast vote moves through the entire process and into the final tally is necessary.

3. Oversight. The first two of these foundation requirements necessary for free and fair public elections have an important ratification:

The record of votes cast must be human readable and said record must be used directly to realize the final tally of all votes cast.

There is a chain of trust between voter intent and the vote cast. When one casts a vote on physical media, that is a direct record of voter intent. The voter can be sure their intent adds to the tally because they can directly verify their votes cast.

Electronic votes are a vote by proxy. The direct expression of intent is not kept and exists as a bit of skin residue left on the machine interface. Put simply, we ask people to vote and then we discard their expression!

What gets used instead is whatever the machine thought the voter intent was!

Consider this: You have a machine in front of you with two buttons. One brings the world into harmony, the other casts it into war, grief and darkness.

You can:

A. Submit a paper form you fill out manually indicating your choice

, or

B. Press one of the buttons and get a receipt for your records.

Say this machine has an indicator showing your choice and a third "approval" button you use when you feel good about the machine getting your choice right.

How do you the voter know the receipt and or indicators match what the proxy machine says your choice was.

What happens when we have a dispute? We know the machine can't be trusted to match receipts. With the direct expression of intent lost, what do we bring to court?

We can and have brought paper ballots into court to resolve and election facing genuine ambiguity.

I submit to you we can't really be sure who wins an electronic election, unless we also associate your identity with the vote.

Say a bunch of people get to choose the fate of the world this way. What is your confidence level?

How do we know the machines tallied up the winning choices correctly?

What do the tests for that look like and how do they get around the forced trust problem we have with all electronic inputs today?

There is a lot more trouble to discuss. What I put here is the core trouble and computers have always had this problem too.

It just does not present any real difficulty, until elections are brought into the discussion.

Display trust issues are well above the core tech trust issues we face today.
Yup, completely agree. I think research practices (and incentives for sound research practices) are starting to tilt in the right direction, though perhaps at a slower pace than I'd like.

Just like parents have a responsibility to teach their kids about safe sex, I think parents have a responsibility to teach their kids about ad-blockers.
> the only reason most of europe has freedom today and not a german dictatorship is the US in WW2

That thought is the result of decades of successful US propaganda. The people who actually lived through WW2 in Europe thought different. This poll [1] asked: "In your opinion, which nation contributed the most to Hitler's defeat?"

> Sure. I already did that, and you disagreed with it. WP’s definition supports social science being categorized as science. I’m asking you for the definition that supports your claim, because WP’s does not.

Okay so social sciences I do not consider science because they are not rigorous enough (I did write this in the past three messages...). The rest of the WP 1st paragraph I agree with.

> You can read in it that some do. The conclusion says that at least some of it is good robust science, which disproves your claim.

I did not send you the link to prove my claim. But you can derivate from this that there is no consensus on this topic. You'll probably argue that it is a closed topic because wikipedia says so, but I do not agree.

> Not true at all. Did you even bother to read the article and look at whether it’s authoritative? Yourarticlelibrary.com is a content spam site: the entire thing. Did you even read the article? It’s full of misspellings and false and stupid sentences. The problem is you aren’t even trying to evaluate the quality of the links you’re pasting, after googling a biased question for anything to back up your incorrect points. I’d be absolutely embarrassed to defend this article, and you should too, it’s trash. Your response is resorting again to ad-hominem, you simply don’t seem to be capable of sticking to arguing that the content is true or think critically about it.

If you want I can mark for you the texts that I consider truthful.

> I know that people argue about this topic, I’ve in fact mentioned that multiple times. Too bad that doesn’t prove anything.

What are you trying to prove? Who decides that social science is a science?

> I’m glad you agree that some of those are science, because all of them except the math paper are categorized as social science. Every Single One. The math paper is not science, it’s math.

Neuroscience < Biology < Natural Science

Agricultural Science < Multidisciplinary < Biology

Physics < Natural Science

Hydrology < Multidisciplinary but mostly Natural Science

Computer Science < Formal Sciences

Sorry but you seem to be quite wrong on this one. The only credit I could give you is on multidisciplinary sciences, but there again I would exclude social sciences as valid parts of the respective science. Mathematics is often considered a science.

> You’re proving to me you don’t know what you’re talking about, and not curious to learn.

Do you want to hear my opinion of what I think about you? I think you are proclaiming a false sense of intellectualism by being pendant where it is absolutely unnecessary. I've already stated my point of view multiple times and it is simple enough that you should understand me. You do understand my point of view but continue to inquire information from me as if to show me a lesson. I have the feeling we continue in circles so unless there is something else to tell I'd like to close the topic.
> Neat. I wasn't aware that there's an endpoint you could use to retrieve JSON data without an API key.

Call me naive but in fact I always thought that's what the apps were using. One thing that took me by surprise in the whole fiasco was that the apps were actually using their own API keys -- I always thought I was just logged in to reddit in my own account. I figured it might be using some backend service for storing some app metadata but I didn't realize it was needing to communicate with reddit using the app developer's account on my behalf.
>> Most of the time, people just want to know what they should be doing next, and everything else is a potential source of confusion.

I’m kind of upset with myself that i find this statement so profound. I mean it’s such an obvious framing (sadly only in retrospect in my case).
Oh, I shared plenty specific to the case that you've glossed right over. Why does your observation matter more than any of mine?

Do you have a theory of how the tenuous connection you state might induce a district court judge to risk harming her career by making a flimsy decision that can be overturned or, worse, risk criminal prosecution if she was found to be conspiring in illegal dereliction of her duty?

What's the scenario you're implying? You haven't even made an argument. The deal expands a business segment that accounts for less than 10% of Microsoft's revenue, it's not going to make her son rich in stock options. He's 3-4 years into his career and has held an entry-level role at Microsoft less than a year, it's not going to rocket him to the top of the org chart. What's the incentive to induce whatever crimes or corruption you leave unspoken?

You conveniently ignored the argument a sibling poster made that the FTC chose their venue. Why choose this one?

Your take is tabloid pundit banter. Extending such disproportionate knee-jerk prescriptions upon such thin logic would grind any activity to a halt.
>Advertising and propaganda have always been the exact same thing

They're really not, though they are similar in many ways. They have different connotations: advertising is done generally by for-profit companies trying to sell stuff and make money, while propaganda is generally done by governments trying to shift or control public opinion. We have different words for these things for a good reason.
The big studios are a major source of finance and distribution for the Indies, if they do badly there's going to be less money from the rest of the industry and less appetite for risk. If you're on course to lose over a billion like Disney you'll start to pull back for funding anything on the fringe. Mass produced "crap" has always provided the funds for the more artistic or less commercial ventures.
Windows has been a decent development platform for Linux via Proton. ;)

Maybe they are just worried about the long game of Proton eventually eroding MS's share? But this looks more like propping up Xbox and Gamepass than Windows losing share (at least short term).
I have never seen people called "TERF"s being against transmen in men's sports, only transwomen. Haven't seen one demand genital checks either.

Ask HN: Where/How would you launch a SaaS if you wanted to ignore GDPR?
I'm from Europe, I have 2 (B2B) projects on pause because of GDPR concerns. Potential clients were literally harassing me to release one of them, but a 10M euros fine didn't seem worth it...

If I wanted to just ignore GDPR could I incorporate a company outside of Europe's jurisdiction? Would that be "legal"? Can a company incorporated outside of Europe actually be fined by Europe and can the fine be enforced?

For example I see that Lusha is incorporated in NYC/Israel and they seem to be doing fine even though they definitely aren't GDPR friendly.(I also just noticed they have a German office which seems pretty weird but whatever)

Does anyone here have experience with that?

How is the experience of going to the movies in the US these days? In EU, going to the movies now means watching entire rows of glowing cell phones in front of you and hearing at least a few conversations on speaker phone. Not to mention the price of admission for the whole family is comparable to about 6 months of a streaming service. It just isn't worth it anymore, and I say that as a movie aficionado who has seen 500+ movies in the cinema over the years.

>> We’ll cry into TikTok over an errant period at the end of a text message.

My brain read that as, "At the end of a text message, we'll cry into TikTok over an errant period." lol
That opinion is the minimum required for the label. Any prohibition of transwomen from a woman's space is enough, though most "TERF"s will prohibit all pre-op transwomen from all woman's spaces.
94x cost improvement over GPU and 15x TPU is insane, but fits right in there with performance gains seen in Moore's Law.

This development presents a more compelling case that we are in fact on the precipice of larger LLMs being able to serve everyone for cheap. Still not really convinced by the AGI argument, but this does spook me. Overall though very cool.
So you agree that somehow the US has a stranglehold on Europe if they were able to make the continent believe what you say is a lie. Maybe you don't think it comes from WW2 or them having the biggest army, but then what is your explanation? Europe bends over just because?

The USA has military bases all over Europe with people and missiles. That started with WW2. How would they not have huge influence on what we do? No european country has a random military base in Ohio or whatever.

I go to the cinema about 4 times a year with the kids in the UK, usually to see marvel films. I don’t recognise that experience.

The whole thing costs about £50 sure (maybe nearer £60 nowadays), and we combine it with bowling and a meal out. Overall it’s a £150 “day out”. It’s not comparable to watching a film at home.
EU is not one (cinema) culture.
They claim the investment will be justified for a 1.5 year life span of the system. But LLMs are changing and improving at a much faster speed that 1.5 years feels like centuries!
