When you send someone a letter it is held by the post office, but it is definitely not allowed for the government to open those without a warrant, even if they do not inconvenience you. When you rent a house from a landlord they can’t turn around and sell warrantless access to that house to the government.

People have digital homes just as they have physical homes, and they have digital letters (mail, messages or chat) traveling to and from those digital homes. It is not unreasonable to expect all of that to be private against broad government surveillance.

It still looks like a typical scamcoin—the investors hold a substantial amount of the coin, and the hard cap on quantity would seem to be a restriction on the growth of the network. So why would a user bother with this?

You seem to have completely missed tester756's point: Discord became popular because it bundled good-enough versions of all of those features with no extra hassle. No one has to keep track of which client you're using in order to decide which features you can interact with, no one has to spin up a new server for voice chat or anything else—it's handled for you automatically.

You might be comfortable stringing together a bunch of plugins for IRC in order to get the same functionality, but the average Discord user never will be.
For the love of all that is good... the problem isn't "omg the NSA is buying data!" the problem is this data is being collected in the first place.

> As Twitter seems on its way down, especially high follower users (such as journalists) are lost

People keep saying this, but I've been a daily Twitter user since long before the Musk timeline and if anything the platform's never felt more engaged. Perhaps particularly vocal complainers like Taylor Lorenz leaving the platform makes the exodus seem greater than it is, but in general it seems high-follower users are just as engaged as they were before.

The only exception seem to be characters like Lorenz whose conduct has been so poorly received by the community that they seemed to be looking for any good reason to leave while still saving face.
What happens if you object to the settlement? To stick it to Facebook for their egregious and blatant flouting of laws.
minor addition to the above -- China has an abundance of computer science skill at the population level, and specialist University-level math and computer science in numbers similar to entire populations elsewhere. The cliche failing of Chinese thinkers - lack of originality - is not nearly as much of an impediment in CS. The number of DeepLearning and AI academic papers in the last five years or so, might not be "the" winning paper, but thousands are good enough.
Good to know.

> "It's about time Python rids itself of that needless limitation."

I want to correct one thing that I see plastered all over this thread.

The GIL isn't a programming language construct. It's an implementation detail. The GIL isn't a "Python limitation" in any way, because it has nothing to do with Python.

CPython (aka. Cython), probably the most popular and widely used VM for Python, was built around a GIL.

There are other VMs out there that don't have a GIL (ie. Jython, IronPython) and can be used out of the box.

Not really. Because transit dorks never fucking talk about how much anything costs. It’s quite frustrating.

You're right, this is a solved problem. On the other hand, mobile access on IRC not being unpleasant isn't and won't be, though, so the search for something better for users will continue.

(To their credit, IRCCloud tries. They are the best swing at it I've seen. They aren't Slack-good, let alone Discord-good. The search continues.)
A couple years ago I checked those platforms, put my profile up. But got nothing out of it.

I get a lot more out of approaching small business owners, or promoting my skills at networking events.

I think the hypothesis is that it started as a delay in the internal development of wings. This split the creatures life cycle into a pre-winged feeding stage and a post-winged adult breeding stage.

The possession of wings in the later stage created a very different environmental situation, so the selective pressures on the winged stage are very different from those in the pre winged stage. These cause a split in the evolutionary environment of pre and post winged stages, causing selection for further divergent trait acquisition in the transitional stage during wing development.

Not an entomologist though, so if anyone has a better understanding I’d be grateful.
That Which Copyright Destroys, ‘Pirates’ Can Save
Franklin’s Franklins Were Freakishly UnFakeable
I'm 18. My parents did not moderate my smartphone usage, they just told me the harms that will result from phone addiction: life spent wastefully, especially in the critical years of middle and high school, bad grades, cognitive decay, vision decay, etc. I wised up and never get addicted to my phone ever, nor have used it for time-wasting distractions like social media. I hate those parents who restrict their kids' phone usage forcefully, they can't learn to use them safely. What happens when they grow up and be introduced to the world of unrestricted phone usage?

Just kidding. I was an addict just like almost all other classmates of mine. I'm currently curing my myopia which is 4+ diopters in one eye thanks to using my iPhone 5 cms away my eyes, laying in bed countless nights. I was ~155 IQ (can't remember because of poor memory), now down to 150. My memory was the best I know among people, I used to never forget anything which I can classify as 'timelessly relevant info', so I would remember everything in a science book I read once three years ago (but not the yesterday's lunch). People would frequently comment about my memory and comprehension. Not so much, I wasn't able to remember things from the textbook the teacher is going to ask in late high school. Now my brain is still foggy, but I'm recovering. I'm very unfit, confirmed by a doctor, again recovering from that. I was in %0.5 in my country's university exam alhamdulillah, and I wonder how would it be if I have ever stopped looking at my phone and actually studied.

After many years, what saved me was that I made some custom software that can block my iPhone all by myself, using the Odyseus' trick [1], using your present self's willpower on your future self[2]. Because my parents refused to put a password for Screen Time and said that good ol' phrase: "Can't you stop yourself? Just stop looking it, it's that easy!"

I firmly believe no one person can fight trillion dollar corporations spending tens of millions of man-hours reverse engineering biological reward circuits in your brain. Everyone I see around me is as addicted as their rest of lives allows them to be, except grandpas who still have those dumb phones. I saw the transformation of my beloved relatives after they got their first smartphone, for the worse. They're not the same person anymore.

My life goal for this world is to put and end to this shit. I'll inshaAllah sell that phone that is restricted, make that Linux distro, browser, applications and all things that restricts you from harming your wellbeing and wasting your life, all while being fully functional for things one really need (think messaging, finance apps, government service websites etc.). Thankfully Transformer models came just in time.

Human brains are not designed nor meant to be able to handle current smartphone technology, the current smartphone technology is designed to exploit human brain for profit.

Yes, we can compare with pythran too. We should really compare against all the other compilers, but it's a lot of work to compare meaningfully: we don't want to put up benchmarks unless we are really sure they are solid, and as everyone knows, it's really hard to do benchmarks that are fair, as one has to have solid experience with both projects being benchmarked. But we did Numba and C++, so you for now you can compare pythran against them to get a decent idea.
I don't go to Twitter to read takes by other programmers about a world which exists only online. I go to Twitter to discuss the world in front of us, a world which hasn't been so exciting and full of conflict for a very long time.

The original version of this dictionary: https://www.dourish.com/goodies/jargon.html

"This file, jargon.txt, was maintained on MIT-AI for many years, before being published by Guy Steele and others as the Hacker's Dictionary. Many years after the original book went out of print, Eric Raymond picked it up, updated it and republished it as the New Hacker's Dictionary. Unfortunately, in the process, he essentially destroyed what held it together, in various ways: first, by changing its emphasis from Lisp-based to UNIX-based (blithely ignoring the distinctly anti-UNIX aspects of the LISP culture celebrated in the original); second, by watering down what was otherwise the fairly undiluted record of a single cultural group through this kind of mixing; and third, by adding in all sorts of terms which are "jargon" only in the sense that they're technical. This page, however, is pretty much the original, snarfed from MIT-AI around 1988."
I don't think any Discord server I'm in expects people to pay particular attention to the history of the server--the affordances are for chatting, not working. They've done some pivoting to add work-responsive features, but it's a WoW guild chat room at its heart.
I generally agree with that. Though I'm not sure it's the right focus when it comes to what makes a car desirable. Looking at BMW's I series cars or Mercedes EQ(X) cars, they are absolutely solid and attractive offerings with the "traditional German" qualities of built quality and refinement. Yes, their software may be lacking, but I'm not quite sure that's the differentiator when it comes to cars.
Interesting stuff. Perhaps add an alias hashbang for shebang.
You brought up your anecdote about your cat in a thread about children and child-rearing. It's absurd to accuse people of straw-manning you just for assuming you meant to draw parallels between children and cats.
"the first day the train derailed"

Suppose you are looking at a 52 card deck, and members of each of the four “shapes” self-identify (with some random noise, and maybe even systematic deviations — like sevens and aces are identified differently from just their shape, etc) as different “suits”.

The pairing between shapes & suits will of course be tautological because the names of the suits are cultural artifacts, but the shapes would still be distinct regardless.

> Race is entirely a social construct. You can't do a genetic test and with certainty determine someone's race. Certain genetic traits are common among what we call races, but not exclusive.

This seems confusing and contradictory. If traits are common in certain groups and not in others (needn’t be exclusive), then by Bayes rule these traits should identify groups with high probability (especially when combining multiple traits)

I guess "capturing value" is equivalent to a "rentier oligarchy". Aka the thing you have in the US.

Looking at the timescales of climate chaos I'd say European social democracies will not be the worst place to be for the next 30years (and no amount of software will help you unless you are part of the oligarchy...).

And if you think we'll all freeze and starve: if we do as the US currently tells us (this is indeed a problem) we can still burn a lot of lignite (which is likely not much worse than leaky fracking fields....).

How is this not an own goal? These companies had a head start and they still lost. Not by a little, but by such a staggering margin that AWS does two OOMs more revenue.

The argument is not ”there are no AI companies in Europe.” The argument is ”there are no competitive AI companies in Europe.” The only one I can think of is DeepMind, and they are A) English (no longer EU) and B) were acquired by Google ten years ago.

What are these European tech companies that are competitive with Nvidia, OpenAI, Google, etc? I’d like to learn more.

I always felt that a lot of the aesthetic choices in the cyberpunk genre have been subject to scrutiny as the genre aged. Things like black leather outfits to punk rock. The overall tone of cyberpunk as a genre has always been a favorite of mine. But that it hasn't really changed too much in the decades that came. Instead derivates instead of additions and adjustments to the core cyberpunk genre.

The Cyberdeck itself is well gone a bit off the rails, personally I think a more modern rendition work be more about discreteness it would provide in contrast to a conventional notebook, along with it's utility purposes. But the more modern renditions still heavily favor brick like designs which is fine, sometimes I wish the genre would change. Personally I think the addition of virtual reality and it's inclusion since early on in the genre was a mistake by authors who at the time didn't have an understanding of what the cyberspace really was. This is getting long but if anyone wants to talk I'm all ears.

Ask HN: Does anyone have Simula I (not 67) source code?
I'm looking for source code written in the Simula I programming language (not just snippets, but ideally real projects that are known to work). Note that I'm talking about the Simula version which appeared in 1962, not the one from 1967, which was the first OO language (see e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20160318165616/http://www.edelweb.fr/Simula/#7).

I'm aware that there is a small chance that Simula I code still exists and is accessible, but I just try my luck.
Once again straight up incorrect, I am not talking about ISPs. You can track browsing and use browsing to help with stalking/doxing without ever getting an ISP involved. Quite frankly, I'm not sure what to conclude from this other than that you may not know as much about how modern Internet tracking works as you think you do.

Of course the "currency" is useful - it's a way to make people share bandwith and engage in mixing as much as they use the network itself.

Almost all torrent websites now require that you create an account and thar you keep a ratio between seeding and downloading above a certain value. Is that a useless rule? Is the ratio a "currency" (especially when many of those websites let you buy a ratio improvement)? How would you do that in an anonymous way?

Honestly? Start by hiring more therapists and social workers for the prison system, so that the ones in the prison system actually have a manageable caseload and truly focus on what individual prisoners need. You'd need to borrow from the "magnet school" model - a specialized school within a wider school - to have a single wing within a larger prison devoted to a specific kind of rehabilitation, transferring in prisoners who need that kind of rehab, then expanding. That requires free space to set that up properly, so, some additional construction / other depopulation measures to get that space available. The people who run those programs need leeway to offer things that may not be available in most prisons and take away privileges that may be taken for granted. It's not such a radical idea - it's basically what separates the different levels of security prison (Camp Fed down the spectrum to supermax), just, in additional ways as well.
I'm surprised when states have that many consecutive letters, because the number of "potential words" you have to flag and avoid become larger and larger, the "NAG 365" isn't even close to the worst case, especially if you have four letters.

It's weird there is little discussion about having kids play more online to have them discover that space the same way they discover the rest of the world.

Manufacturing cars by assembling parts from 1000+ suppliers is inherently inefficient. This is fine as long as every car company uses the same model. BYD doesn’t; they make 70% of the components used in their cars themselves. This gives them a fundamental cost advantage and European car shoppers are extremely price sensitive.
