I should probably have clarified, there's not a single person I know who uses Linux as their daily driver that wouldn't want the option of having it run on an M1 MacBook. I'll grant that the vast majority of Apple users probably don't care about running Linux on it.
I wonder how many use those services. Google is the same way.
I find the AI point of view not that interesting. What's more interesting is the obvious (im)balance between production rate and revenue per second vs the amount of (finite) resources being spent in the process.

> Is it? In what way? If they used the referrer, what would have been different?

HN started adding rel="noreferrer" to asahilinux.org posts (and then eventually to all links I think?) after the asahi folks first did referrer-based blocking.

This is actually explained in the message you're so angry about:

> We have tried to raise the issue of rampant abuse and low-quality discussion with HN mods, but instead of replying they added rel="noreferrer" to links to our site (specifically), to make it harder for us to block HN traffic

...

> You had pretty simple explanations for this all over the page. From me (see the comment about kicking users after being unable to persuade admins who they have a real resentment against), and others (the bits about painting with the same brush). At this point it would be fair to say that you are just ignoring them because they lead to a conclusion you might not like.

I'm not ignoring anything. I read what you say. I just don't understand it. No part of "they block visitors from a site I use" causes anything resembling a feeling of resentment in me. Quite the opposite; if my blog posts were constantly being linked to HN and I got a ton of harassment from the HN audience as a result, I would've probably tried to implement measures to prevent my blog to end up on HN as well. I don't understand what would cause someone to take a HN block personally.
I like the Anki shoutout.

I personally would be cautious learning an extra language through a tool like this though, especially for a huge list of supposedly supported languages like this. Chat-GPT gets basic concepts like verb suffixes wrong, that is, explaining those concepts and generating example sentences, when I was trying it out a few months ago. I wouldn't mind conversations feeling a bit awkward or unrealistic, (EDIT: as they do here), but I wouldn't trust AI tools atm to get sentence structure, spelling and pronunciation (!) all completely right which is imperative for such a tool to function (and this one didn't for the two languages I tested).

If we assume the AI is already at that level, it would be trivial to have it show translations to user's native languages instead of only to English and excluding a number of potential revenue-generators for the capitalist machine ("learners").

Your prompt leaked in the text box when I pressed the Start Conversation button multiple times, and the site seems to be getting HN-hugged-of-death right now.

Also, adding to the person who mentioned this being close sourced, if a "deep-rooted desire not to look foolish in front of others" was among my reasons not to talk to a stranger in an extra language, I don't think I'd be any more likely speaking into a microphone, alone, in a room, like I'm conducting my biannual mandatory TOEFL© test every two years.[1]

[1]: This one is actually worse because you're in a room with 10+ others simultaneously talking into a computer screen, not talking to a person but just having your voice recorded, and it's outrageous ETS is getting away with charging people like 200 bucks (getting to see feedback for your grade is extra)

It is sometimes not as straightforward, as I think we have that in order to prevent people from having enough funds to escape courts, as in, without money it's harder to flee law. Now some middle class criminals might be affected, some high class criminals might have funds around the world in rogue states and might be able to flee anyway, the issue as usual seem to be of the randomers, always taking the biggest hit of any law done to prevent crime

But I think in this case the issue is not the tool to freeze or seize assets in itself, which used pragmatically helps society, is the accountability of those who exploit it

I have vibes regarding this like those who said ok there are some shitty cops who shot people, then let’s defund the police
Patents list references considered by the Examiner. In the U.S., applicants are also required to disclose references known to the applicant that are "material to examination." It is not an admission against patentability, but instead creates a strong presumption of validity over the cited references for a patent that grants.

Did this company name-based nickname for employees start from Google calling their employees Googlers in the early 2000s?

> In the UK there is no "generational trauma". African migration only really started in the UK post-WWII. While there was discrimination this is the case for practically all immigrant groups in the UK.

Wikipedia claims that most of the post-war immigrants came from the West Indies, predominantly Jamaica. You don't suppose there might be some generational trauma bundled into a group of people who were only in the Caribbean because of the British slave trade, lived on an island dominated by British colonial practices and culture attitudes towards those former slaves, and were now moving onto the (overwhelmingly white) British islands, the home of their great grandparents' former masters?

You raise an interesting point about Indians. In most of the statistics for the US I could find, the only non-white ethnic group that didn't show markedly lower performance was the vague "Asians". I have some rank speculation about what's happening there, but its just that.

I think we can conclude that market isn't efficient. There is enough of big enough players that don't even try to invest in optimal manner. Think of pension funds and Sovereign wealth funds. If those are moved to invest ESG related it will naturally drive ESG up.

And really I think whole market is not in sensible shape in general and has not been for a while. Not that crash is imminent or can't be kicked down the road a few more times.
Yes, I believe the government used the "heads I win, tails you lose" theory of jurisprudence in those cases.
You're confusing DC with a very small subset of DC which is affluent or government jobs. The vast majority of people who work in DC do not live in DC. Over half of DC's residents are below the poverty line, with terrible schools, barely can get school lunches, child care, or halfway decent jobs. They don't get shit from the nation's tax dollars.
Fwiw, 90% of the time when I visit a cool package I don’t interact with the creator at all.

If you do want nice notes, solicit them in the readmes. “If you see this, send me a note at foo@bar and tell me your thoughts!”

I rarely email a random person my random thoughts unless I have a smart question or bug report. Maybe only once have I sent a thank you this is so interesting email. Don’t want to bug people.
>> mom and pop shops wouldn't exist

Why not? Mom and pop shops can (and often are) be more profitable than any other business that would serve that market.

>> Companies who invest profits back into themselves would not exist.

Why not? Investing in your own business can be very profitable if you have good ways to expand your business.

>> Public companies who pay living wages wouldn't exist.

Why not? Public companies can't pay workers less than those workers demand.
> and comes fundamentally from a "web consumer" mentality

Not for me, it doesn't, For me, it comes from an "I don't want to be spied on" mentality.

If the online ad world would do everything that they currently do, but actually leave me out of it when I tell them to, I wouldn't consider them to be evil. But not only don't they do that, they put a lot of time, effort, and money into actively working around the various defenses I put up against them.

> I think that it would be valuable to reframe the question from the producers point of view

You're talking as if the problem is the ads themselves. It's not. It's the spying that's the problem.

> The ad-tech solution is actually quite elegant in theory

I don't assert that it's not elegant. I assert that it's deeply unethical unless informed consent has been obtained from the people the data is being gathered from.

> then people ask "where did the old internet go"?

People ask that right now, and adtech is one of the things that have killed it.

> it would be great if the people who criticize it came up with something other than "fuck the small businesses and content producers".

Plenty of proven alternatives are brought up all the time. Even the IAPP article here mentions the strongest one: have ads, but don't target them based on data extracted from unwilling participants. Target them based on the context in which the ads appear.

Just like newspapers, magazines, TV, etc.

The adtech world doesn't want to do that because they can make even more money by being bastards, instead.
You are making the assertions here. You claim to know the speed of the object, the distance to it, the size, etc etc.
China Proposes Two-Hour Limit per Day on Internet Access for Minors
> how awful macOS is

just curious, but what parts are awful? customization? or just generally bugs?
Not true.

I lean towards it being morally wrong to target civilian areas, but to claim ahistorically that the targets were intentionally purely civilian is false. Being of military importance (military post, arms manufacturing) was a requirement of the choice for both cities. Both had military significance.

But it was a tragedy. Even if you think the decision to drop the bomb was defensible, no one’s conscience should be at ease when making such a terrible decision even if you feel like you’re forced by necessity. Which I don’t think was necessarily the case.

That's always the case with these projects. All the critical problems will be resolved sometime in the future.

And how will cheating be stopped at that time? Shrug
That used to be the case of the HN hivemind maybe three, four years ago (just noticed, my account is over ten years old, WTF).

IMO, I think the general vibe here started to shift back with the Jan 6th putsch attempt, and completely turned during the Russian war: undeniable signs showing how far a situation can escalate when malicious actors are left to roam free, and that a truly free market requires at least some sort of regulation as guardrails.

Trolls Steal Twitter CEO’s Handle After “X” Name Change
I don't disagree with your critiques and I certainly have my own of the area, but I see a lot of that as an argument for why the Arlington corridor is part of DC conceptually. It is highly connected to DC (transit times into DC as low or lower than many intra-DC trips), high density (the entire county is only a bit less population dense than DC itself), and essentials are walkable if a bit inconvenient at times. Arlington would be a bad city if it were isolated, but Arlington is the way it is because it isn't isolated.
Most browsers are mobile so that won't work :)

I was hoping there is some technical explanation how the compilation step works (especially what do they do to event handlers) but their documentation is very light on details.
All it takes is a few quick searches from the search bar at the bottom of the page to see what I'm referring to. You can search just "paypal" or "paypal stole" or "paypal froze" for some of the more egregious examples submitted to HN, or "paypal banned" for some of the more common ones of paypal reclassifying businesses after years of working just fine.

Much of them are older, because honestly Paypal had quite a few years of being the vendor of choice before a lot of alternatives came around. I'm not sure if that means Paypal had enough competition that they had to deal with their behavior or they're just used less so you hear about the problems less, but for anyone that's been around for a while, hearing about Paypal screwing someone over is not going to sound like something extraordinary.

Reminds me of when I was recently asking some online version of it to produce a dialogue of the Loch Ness Monster asking Samuel L. Jackson for tree fiddy. It kept refusing and bitching about how it wouldn't produce "racist" output. I finally messed with the system and regular prompts enough to get it to first do the same refusing and bitching, but then also generate the dialogue anyway. Incredibly shitty dialogues that sounded nothing like the speakers and paled in comparison to what Bard generates right off the bat with zero effort expended just trying to get it to do its job. Llama 2 appears to be a completely oversensitive piece of shit.
I'd be far less offended if you told me to fuck off than if you called me a Hackeroni.
I disagree because this makes every project over engineered thus makes the entropy of this definition close to zero.
I don't think it's a failure if the original claims are showing some kind of promise, science is being done, and the frontiers of knowledge are being pushed forward.

In other words, not "Eureka!" but "that's weird".
It doesn't invalidate the original claim, as they haven't been able to make a pure sample to test with, as I understand it. Or at least that there is some difference between their samples and the others, but still it shows promise.
In Australia at least there's been a government sponsored advertisement campaign "Every cigarette is doing you damage" that rather obviously conveys smoking as an unpleasant "shameful" habit, while graphically describing the health impacts. I very much doubt the "shaming" part of the campaign would work on its own, but whoever made the ads were obviously attempting to make cigarette smoking look as unappealing as possible.
More importantly, given the article this thread is supposed to be discussing, I'd be wary of assuming what works in helping reduce the usage of a "soft" drug like nicotine by a significant percentage of the population would work with hard drugs used (and abused) primarily by marginalised individuals. In fact we have had similar advertising campaigns against heroin/ice

Oh, and CreativeCreek's excellent MathU RPN on the iPhone, which feels insanely HP-like as it mashes together the functionality of several HP calculators in a very useful way. (It does the work of the 12C, 15C, and 16C quite well - at least all of what I use on each!)

MathU remains one of only three apps I've ever paid for. It is actually the last major thing keeping me from leaving the Apple ecosystem, since there's no Android version. Yes, it's that good.
As a concrete example: getting an intern’s corporate proxy set up for a build system over video chat can be quite difficult. If they change the system proxy settings or change networks, the screen share goes out. You don’t face these day 0 mentoring issues in person.

A card reader is a stand-alone device and has nothing to do with any web tech.

You put your ATM card in the device, enter your PIN code, and then the device has a tiny camera that scans the QR code on the web page. Next, you can see the transaction details on the device and confirm. It will then output a signing code which you enter on the web page.

It is what was commonly used in some EU countries before we switched to mobile banking apps. Most banks still supply them for when you do very large online transactions.

You're gonna have to explain that more thoroughly, I'm not seeing it. I don't understand how it's possible to click a link on HN, see that message about "we have blocked HN because of a large amount of harassment in HN comment sections", and think the message is critical of me. I know I'm not writing comments which harass them, so I know it's not targeted at me.
This actually looks like it might be of interest to me. Thanks!

I'm surprised to find little information online about Dr. Hans Bomke, whom I presume is the "BOMKE" referenced a few times. He was not well liked it seems.

I have seen references about a US FBI file on him (Bomke, Hans 424771), also that he did do some co-research with Otto Hahn.

Paul Lawrence Rose's book "Heisenberg and the Nazi Atomic Bomb Project" say that the others at Farm Hall considered him a Nazi plant.

That’s a big red flag in any company when they start labeling their employees like that.
There's a difference between someone who genuinely believes what they are evangelizing, and paying marketing people to spread some corporate opinion.

The OP is referring to the second type I think.

Of course the two are not mutually exclusive, you could have an evangelist job for an open source company selling data protection software/services for example.
It’s not the same service, though.

As I understand it, the main reasons people use archive.is over archive.org are because archive.is is more of an immediate proxy/cache/cdn, rather than a long-term archival system that requires a bot to crawl based on schedule parameters. That, and also it includes features to help bypass paywalls by sanitizing some (all?) JavaScript.

On the other hand, Archive.org doesn’t remove or alter scripts or anything like that. And as far as I know you can’t just request them to crawl a site and then browse it there immediately, but you can on Archive.is
