Interesting to lump in teaching with policing. Even if you are correct, and the folks are the same caliber, the criticisms of both highlight the issues with the institutions. (The main thrust if the critique for police)

At any rate,this comparison is ridiculous and a false equivalencecy that could swap out nurses for teachers and hold your analogy.
I mean all of these projects have hilariously low budgets lol

The biggest budget on this list is $37 million, that’s a decent amount of money but you can’t launch a human habitat to the moon for that price.
Government / regulatory capture is a really bad thing. Businesses that can use the government to shut down competitors is bad. None of that is free market. Companies that are indistinguishable from government are bad. Tax payer Subsidies to pick winners and losers are bad.

None of those are free market.

People often argue against free market by pointing at things that are the opposite of free market.
You can spin the second questions as wanting to understand why this hasn't been done before, and what the current workarounds are.

It gives you some sense of the affordances you need and the current value of having done nothing so far.

It also helps with prioritization - is it a must, a should, a could, a wish?
> How much of that involves the tech industry?

A lot. Here's a link where you can read about some recent activity in the tech industry (change it to sort by Date, I couldn't figure out how to do that in the URL): https://arstechnica.com/search/?ie=UTF-8&q=ftc You can probably find more on Google (or perhaps Duck Duck Go? :) ).

Maybe I'm too optimistic but as a web developer I loved being given the opportunity to learn some Swift and Kotlin. Compared to Objective C and Java they are really very approachable for JS devs and with not all that much work you'll end up with a deeper bench of developers more satisfied with their jobs.
> a rise in meat prices if subsidies are rebalanced towards veg

Good to know ... let's do it then.

But those are just the subsidies ... we're still ignoring the negative environmental and health externalities of meat production. What price should we put on that?
Exactly.
Two things:
1. The vast majority of people do not need to worry about nuances of nutrition. Most Americans (90%+) don't even meet physical activity guidelines, for which there is extremely strong evidence of far more significant benefits.
2. OP responded to another comment of mine that they actively go against what Phd nutritionists say. This was never a post about facts/science.

I use all three major AI platforms daily for content classification, summarization and generation. In a similar vein as “X company uses AI to write content and fires writers”. Except I’m the writer. And there’s two of us. And we never had other writers so no one’s getting fired. And if our project takes off we will have to hire more.

Writing and rewriting and re-targeting and ideation are very much helped by AI.

That said, the plethora of AI baked tooling isn’t that helpful yet. Wrappers around the APIs are helpful… most of the other apps that promise more are pretty bad and make AI look bad.

Tools that help manage prompts and iterate on those have been most helpful.

The one I use the most is Text Generator in Obsidian.

That is indeed close: Why do we always hear from people who think they are well above average contributors, and not the ones that don't?

I've read the other comments too. The most interesting ones were the people who previously had "conventional, blue collar" union jobs and didn't like their union. There are certainly real problems, but thankfully there are a number of "reform caucuses" right now winning elections that can start to fix them.
I bet they hated you lol
Yeah it seems logical that trial and error with the "hey it worked for me" stuff probably has more chance of working than doing nothing.
For those who still aren't sure why this is a bad thing, read Stallman's "Right to Read" story --- that's the direction WEI is going to take the Internet and probably other things too, if the opposition isn't strong enough.

Ironically, WEI is one letter off from WEF... but I doubt that was intentional.

What sort of regulation do we imagine a government putting into place to stop this? If anything, governments tend to lean in favor of identification and verification systems because they make corporate commerce run more smoothly.
Very happy to read about the license change! I hope they are able to earn money from the project, but the likelihood of being able to integrate it into any work projects is much higher with MIT licensing. If we do use it, I'll try to get our company to sponsor the project.
> When did people stop being drunk all the time?

When did people have ever been drunk all the time?

People drank more because there was a lot less alcohol in the alcoholic beverages on average, but it was some people drinking a lot more (really, an awful lot more), not the average person drinking more than today.

A person drinking a bottle of whisky a day would count as 22 drinks, the average today is around 1 drink per person per day, so that one person alone would count as 22 people.

You don't see many people drinking that amount of alcohol today, but it wasn't uncommon in certain jobs in the recent past.

Beers were similar to fermented milk they drink in Mongolia[1], wine had a similar alcohol content of today only for upper classes products, the average had higher alcohol content to preserve it better or it would spoil and taste like vinegar, but it was mostly drank mixed with herbs, honey and diluted with water (vinification was much different back then, the final product often reminded a syrup more than a liquid).

For a lot of time in many places alcoholic beverages were also banned by religions on public health grounds.

But the most important reason is that the "industry" of beverages (soda, juice, energy drinks, etc), advertising and marketing had not been invented yet.

And probably the amount of stimulants and sugar we get from these "non-alcoholic " beverages are more damaging to our health than alcohol alone.

For optimal health, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommend consuming no more than 6 tsp of added sugar daily. By drinking just one serving of cola a day, a person will easily exceed this amount. A 2015 study attributed 184,000 global deaths each year to the consumption of sugary drinks.

this is sugary drinks alone, notice that when you look at the stats for alcohol related deaths, they also include incidents or accidents where someone had some alcohol (> 0) in their system, the same stats are not kept for sugar/caffeine/stimulants in general.

> I too would need a half bottle of port to write about freedom and liberty while my slaves built me a countryside mansion.

You almost certainly would not have, had you been born in the same period of time.

Let's not pretend that people in the past were monsters simply because they lived during the period of time they lived. Maybe they were all racist monsters by today's standards, but had they been born today they'd be completely different. We are not inherently better than them because we happen to have the dominant opinions of our time and they had the dominant opinions of theirs.

i am one of the makers of PR-Agent. often we are asked:

"What features do you think make it stand out from existing tools?"

My answer:

"
- We emphasize real-life practical usage, avoiding multiple GPT-4 calls. Each tool (/describe, /improve, ...) has a single LLM call. This saves money and time, and enables daily usage of PR-Agent

- Our 'Git Patch Logic' strategy is a unique core ability that enables us to tackle both short and long PRs, with high effectivity

- Our JSON strategy enables us to have modular, customizable tools. For example, the '/review' tool categories can be controlled via the configuration file. Adding additional categories is easy and accessible

- Support both github and gitlab
"
That looks like it, but I heard it in 2022 or 2023, might have been a re-run.

I can't listen to it right now, but I remember in the program he was talking about publishing some of his books describing his experiences with illegal substances and he had his publisher agree to pay all potential legal costs on top of paying his regular salary to his wife in case of incarceration.
It's sad how addiction implies "be more tolerating because it'll happen anyways and be worse if you aren't", though.

I'm not saying that addicted people should just be thrown aside. At the same time, since addiction implies an altered mental state like insanity, addicted people are clearly a burden to society that can't be reasoned with. In general, people have their circumstances that lead them to do what they do, but addicted people may stay addicted even if their circumstances are somehow resolved. Addiction is a costly affair to individuals, their friends and families, and the state. We should try to rehabilitate addicted people and we should try to tackle the root causes (much easier spoken than done), but it's a lousy situation in the first place.
> My 12 year old can take the subway to school by himself, but ONLY if he has a phone in case he ends up in some wackadoodle situation where his train has gone express or is on another train line and he needs to call his lifeline (me!) to figure out how to work it out.

I was taking the subway to school by myself at 12 in Toronto (maybe a slightly less intense city, to be fair). I'm not sure about NYC but in Toronto it's possible to teach a kid a set of strategies where they'll basically never get dangerously-lost.

Just find the nearest bus, and get on it. Stay on it until it arrives at a subway station. Ask a transit worker at the station if necessary. Get on another bus or subway that gets you a little closer in the right direction. It can take a while but you can follow this algorithm rather blindly and it will get you there. (The system was designed that way, I think.)

I never got lost. And if I had gotten lost, I wouldn't have been in any particular danger. At a certain age they'll have to figure out "oh, there's no bus, what do I do?" on their own. (At the time, I did not like this whole take the subway on my own thing - scared the heck out of me. I had to be coached with multiple trial runs.)
My teacher would have ripped the gameboy out of my hand and confiscated it for the rest of the school year. Teachers do not that have that kind of freedom today.

Also, if your argument is "gameboy existed". People just did not use it as much. Today smartphone usage in class is rampant. Also gameboy games were not anywhere near as addicting as games and social media are today.
Outrageously offensive to paint teachers with the same brush.

Teachers are among the worst treated working people in the country while police enjoy unbelievable benefits not afforded to anyone else.
Mold is absolutely excellent work for modern systems.

I've recently been trying to speed up our project builds, and found that linking is absolutely a huge bottleneck. I've got 24 cores * 2 threads to build on, and maybe 30% of that power goes unused because of the linker.

I've made a previous attempt to build with mold but it didn't quite work at the time. I'll be giving it another try.
That's a straw-man argument
This has never been the case for me at all. I write this comment in Chrome because I have it for testing and specific purposes, but I believe CPU and memory utilization advantages of Chromium always have been a myth for the most part. And I am someone that holds a lot of tabs open without rebooting my work machine for days or months.

Browsers are still memory hogs, but at some point you have to decide if you want speed or low memory usage. Fast reaction time or nicely rendered pictures. On a decent machine, not even a fast one, there is no difference. That said, I despise notebooks and usually use towers.
tldr: police use phone to see through tinted window
Google depends on Adwords. Other revenue streams are minor in comparison. Chromium is the main moat. Android too, of course. ~$15 billion to Apple is another, so protecting all on mobile. With the demise of AICOA, we cannot hope or expect the EU to deliver. In a sense it's simple; folks have to stop using Google search in order to preserve the web, and support those who are trying to preserve it. But I would say that. We are doing what we can.
None of that should prevent anyone from using Firefox.
There are no alternatives, nearly all other browsers are built on Chromium.

Making FF more prominent will not give Google more power, it will give Mozilla more power to negotiate better deals with Google and Bing to become the default search engine, because in the world of browsers, that's what pays the bills.

Giving more power to Mozilla hinges on them having a larger user-base so their voice is heard on these technical issues.

I'm tired of people complaining about how much better they could do "if only" this, or that FF was % slower on some tasks 10 years ago.

Firefox is a better alternative. It's the only alternative, and we can make more demand on its direction if we actually use it.

It doesn't mean that we shouldn't hold Mozilla to higher standards, but if we keep waiting for them to be perfect before we will consider using and pushing FF, we're just going to lose the only alternative not controlled by Google or Microsoft.

It's Firefox here and now. There probably won't be a tomorrow otherwise. Google is making that very clear.
One thing about this that I don't understand is how they intend to validate memory without controlling the entire stack (which we aren't even 1% close to achieving on the desktop). If I poke /dev/mem, does that mean Chrome will have to validate every single byte of it's ram? Or does it rely on having a fully locked down environment (maybe feasible on phones).
It's like prohibition, the forbidden fruit. Denial will only increase the want. It's better to teach moderation early than it is to try to curb the want for 7+ years.

My kid has had an iPad from age 1 or so, with kiosk mode enabled and a baby game that made funny noises when they slapped the screen.

They got a phone at age 7, just before starting first grade. No Youtube, no TikTok and screen time enforced per category and per program. The only one I "cheated" the age with was WhatsApp, because it's the default communication tool over here.

It's about 5 years later and I've still managed to keep them off Youtube by giving more screen time in Netflix/Disney+/our PBS equivalent etc, where the content is actually produced and not some youtube elsagate horror show or a screaming influencer hawking off whatever a sponsor is telling them to sell this week.

At this point asking for screen time with good grounds is a habit for the kid: "Homework is done and I read The Trials of Morrigan Crow for 30 minutes, can I get screen time?" It's also used mostly for background noise, iPad is on a stand somewhere with a random show running and they're drawing or doing some crafts while it's playing.

The rule we follow is that every 15 minute slot spent reading (comics or books) is given out double as screen time.
I can appreciate that plans and motivations change, but I read that page about intent and the update at the bottom was about getting a letter from Romney. FYI, I'd found the campaign content from the Gab link, which didn't have the campaign-termination announcement.

"If I lose, I will run for Senate of the United States against Mitt Romney in 2024. I will not go away."

"And if I lose, I will then run for President of the United States in 2028 since that is the first year I will be eligible. I will not go away."

This might reflect poorly on you in the eyes of an employer wondering if you were distracted by political priorities, and/or not seeing it through? Could explain the job fortunes.
Only things I can trigger on Alexa. I can’t have music playing on my computer when I’m doing things on the computer. Just can’t.

So usually classical playlists or instrumental jazz or study beats. I don’t hunt for new things honestly.
To be frank, adding an AI tool to one's dev env requires some trust... But I think this is a good start point.
I don't know about that one. You have some smart watches for kids. Which are basically a geolocator + phone home + panic button.

I have friends who's kids use those to go to school on their own. I feel that is a good compromise between parents anxiety and kids autonomy. Provided you make it clear to them that the watch enables you to track them.
Containers are useful, but it's like having a few similar terminal windows open. Eventually you'll type something on the wrong window... at least I found myself searching for personal stuff on my work Google container.

With profiles I can have different bookmarks, extensions, and even a different theme so I'm aware I'm on my personal profile, not on a work profile. Since switching profiles on Firefox + macOS is a pain in the butt, I use 2 different Firefox channels (stable + dev).

Anyway, containers are nice, but they're not a replacement for profiles.
The problem with your argument is that even if you understand your child and know that smartphone use in school is distracting them from education, you can't really ban them from using a smartphone of everyone else is allowed, or you risk them becoming a social pariah.

School-wide and broader bans actually fix this problem of social needs, by leveling the playing field.
Can Google really do this? What if I'm using Safari on OS X, or Firefox on Linux?
I never asked why I can't get a job. I merely said that I can't. I know I'm not a good fit in sterile workplaces.
Can't we make a intranet of our own? yes im being stupid right now but i dont want wei or anything like that, if we power users can create something like the internet where there are multiple websites and stuff like it was in the old days i don't know what im talking clearly but i think y'all understand me
Might just be parroting the claim from this thread, though.
> I'm not sure if this is a file size limit too or just an object memory representation size limit.

Message. Each message cannot be bigger than 2GB(and usually should be not this big), but a file could contain multiple messages. This limitation helps them prevent integer overflows, since every length is 32-bit but every application process is 64-bit, you can convert the length numbers to 64-bit before doing any arithmetic operation. Therefore, fundamentally, there is no way to make it secure on 32-bit platforms, or no way to support more than 2GB on 64-bit platforms without totally rewriting the code.
I agree that I may not represent the average persona very well.
It's not "just a name change."

There's also a logo.
I'm surprised not to see more love for Librewolf here on HN.

It's just the latest Firefox release, recompiled without all the Mozilla telemetry, and with all the settings flipped to more secure/private defaults so all the tracking features are opt-in instead of opt-out.
Well, Lina Khans performance has been stellar thus far, so I'm sure they'll get right on this...
That actually makes sense. Huge platforms taking a hit often result in such migrations. And yes, high-value and high agency people end up making these places so much better.
Except they keep losing cases. ex:

Or Judges fast-tracking lawsuits to allow those being prosecuted by the FTC to get things over quicker, ex: https://www.reuters.com/legal/illumina-wins-fast-track-appea...

And I think the biggest blow may actually come about because of the SEC lawsuit that will be heard this upcoming term at SCOTUS: https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-decide-legali..., which will likely heavily reign in the power of administrator judges and the ability for an agency to keep initial fights in-house (blocking litigants from taking fights to the normal courts).
How can phone cameras see through tinted windows?

Also, FWIW, in most of the EU, tinted windows are banned on the windshield, driver and front passenger side. Only in the rear and back seat can you put the tint.
you most likely worked alone on your PC , learning stuff. Phones are validation addiction machines now. If they take away attention from the classroom then it makes sense to ban them ?

Perhaps you have not experienced how tech-illiterate smartphone kids are today? They d most likely struggle to navigate HN because it lacks notifications and likes.

I think we should be making a distinction between phones and computers always
