The biggest difference is that Denmark built its wind farms a lot more recently than France built its nuclear power plants. The cheapest power plant is the one that is already built.

Nonetheless, I would expect France's electricity prices to rise significantly in the coming years as their 1970s plants all age out and decommissioning costs + the cost of brand new plants kicks in.

They have also publicly announced that they won't be replacing all of the nuke plants that will age out (presumably because of cost). So, the % of nuclear power on France's grid will decline with solar or wind or carbon producing fuels having to make up the difference.

You might've read the spec but you're missing the point and your approach is naive. For me it's about crossing the line. If you want to be snooping around my phone or my house, you need a warrant and go to official channels provides by my gov officials. And you really think it's as simple as picking apples from oranges? I mean come on. Yes, it's easy to implement hash check to see if u have some known child porn in your cloud. But was that the use case for the advocates? No. Their use case was to try finding abuse and that would need a more thorough scanning. And once we're there, we have to make hard decisions on what is porn or abuse. If u think it's easy, then you need to it through harder. Think of some picture from sauna where there are naked family, might be harmful? But normal here in Finland. What about a stick figure cartoon what depicts a some shady sexual positions with a smaller child-like figure in it? Or what about grooming, asking for naked pics? How is this system going to prevent that? I mean, I get why ppl would want something like this. But it isn't the right solution imho.
Indeed. After looking at the documentation, photos are not e2ee by default.

That’s the thing I appreciate _most_ about HN. The focus is on shop talk. Discuss science, tech, philosophy and other interesting topics without a constant stream of nonsense.

I find it very difficult to not reply on HN with a quick joke or pun or flame with no substance, but I don’t, usually.

I really like the high S/N ratio. It’s why I come here every day.
This sounds a bit American to me honestly - I would think that in Europe (and especially in Amsterdam) there would be enough cyclists to make the data usable. OTOH, they may not have the necessary privacy settings enabled (I think that's a minority among car users too). Of course it's also a vicious circle: if Google Maps is bad for cyclists, few cyclists will be using it, so you won't get the data you need to make it better. Additionally, I think the proportion of cyclists using any kind of navigation solution is lower than with car drivers...

I do use MS services. I still don't understand why I should care unless the AI starts simply repeating my private data in response to questions.

Now you could argue, what if I have documents with secret ideas or valuable IP that I don't want the AI to helpfully explain to others? That's definitely a valid concern! But for consumer uses, if it learns to draw better hands by looking at my holiday photos or whatever, then I don't see the problem.
It's worse than that. They won't even take action against harassment of moderators, including their users that repeatedly submit obviously rejectable articles to moderated newsgroups, then reply with verbal abuse and profanity when rejected. The eternal-september admins tell moderation teams that it is their responsibility to deal with these users, not them. Our moderated newsgroup dealt with one of their users (lawfully, of course). No surprise that the individual had an anonymous identity that was a synonym for the devil.
imo diminishing ppl's privacy is a goal. Apple's csam could be tricked in different ways, esp with generative algorithms, like an malicious person will send you an album with 100+ normal looking photos(to the eye) but altered to trigger csam, now govt needs to check 100+ photos per person per send and dismiss the false positives. Since this can be replicated, imagine gov't will need to scan 100k similar usecases just for 1k ppl? that's insane, they'll either not check them, so system became obsolete(bc in this case ill intentioned ppl can just send an album of 5k photos, all triggering csam and only a bunch will be real csam. multiplied by nr of these ill ppl, you understand system is easy to game, or they spend thousands of hours checking all this photos and checking each person. Another vector of attack is generation of legit looking csam, bc, generating algorithms are too good now, but in this case(afaik) it's not a crime, since image is fully generated(either by only using ppl's face as starting point or using the description of their face tweaked enough to look realistic).
So what we get is:
- a system that can be gamed in different ways
- a system that's not proved to be effective before releasing
- a system that may potentially drive those ppl to other platforms with e2ee that don't have the csam scan(i assume since they know what e2ee is, they can find a platform without csam), so again obsolete
AND:
- a system that can't be verified by users (like is the csam list legit, can it trigger other things, is the implementation safe?)
- a system that can be altered by govt by altering the csam list to target specific ppl (idk snowden or some journalist that found something sketchy)
- a system that can be altered by apple/other company by altering csam list for ad targeting purposes

Idk, maybe i'm overreacting, but I've seen what a repressive gov can do, and with such an instrument it's frightening what surveillance vectors can be opened

Fortunately since I'm in the UK the legal position is rather more enlightened. The default is that any processing of personal data is not allowed and they have to justify it and explain their justification.

Of course even if they flagrantly ignore the rules and carry on while treating any fines as a cost of doing business - which is hardly unusual in GDPR world for certain big tech companies - there is only so much you can do as one individual and you still need the regulators to step in and enforce the rules with meaningful sanctions.
> Most people that care about environment, animal cruelty, and ethics are already small consumers of meat anyway.

Based on what I see for sale in grocery stores and on restaurant menus a huge amount of meat is consumed in the US. I have a hard time believing it's all being consumed by people that don't care about the environment, animal cruelty and ethics. I think/hope that most people care about those things but just feel they are powerless to do anything about them or maybe aren't aware how bad some situations are, e.g. animal welfare in the meat industry.
> To my mind, the old proverb “opportunity makes the thief” describes the main issue with cybercrime quite well – the internet is a very “target-rich” environment, and it is incredibly easy/cheap to create a simple piece of malicious code or launch a basic attack.

It's also consequence-free. You can do on the Internet whatever the fuck you want, but unless you anger the wrong people (e.g. you hack a mega corporation or a hospital) nothing will be done.

A large part of the "cheapness" of cybercrime is that even though we know where a lot of the bad agents are coming from:

- enemy nation states like Iran, North Korea, Russia and China where the government itself has hacker groups or tolerates their activity

- neutral nations like India or Turkey where local law enforcement is bought off by scammers and other criminals so the masterminds get warned of raids in time

- domestic agents like ISPs who don't give a shit about abuse reports if there is no legal liability attached to them (i.e. everything but CSAM and copyright) because they don't bother to hire enough qualified staff to follow up on reports and get bad actors (e.g. people with compromised IoT or other devices) cleaned up or disconnected

... absolutely nothing is done against them, even if identified.

And on top of that: if you drive an unsafe car on the road, you'll get fined for being a danger to other motorists. If you have an Exchange server not patched in years reachable from the Internet, you're a danger to other systems on the Internet, and yet nothing can be done against you.

Our collective governments need to get their act together: nation states must be told to either clean up their act or get disconnected from the Internet and the global financial system, ISPs must face regulation requiring at most 6h response time for abuse reports and evidence of corrective action taken, and people being grossly negligent in keeping up with patches must feel consequences.

It's time for the laxness towards criminals and bad actors to end once and for all. We don't tolerate gangs of bullies intimidating grandmas on the street into extortion schemes, we shouldn't allow their cyber equivalents to do the same.

I use organic maps most of the time but osmand has much better support for hiking trails: you can see them (not just a path, but the name of the route, with a different color to separate it), I can tell the app to prefer it when building an itinerary, and the altitude info is way more detailed. You can spot the exact altitude and gradient at any spot. You can add a second map as an overlay, and I typically use a contour maps to quickly see where the peaks are, where the route will be flat, etc...

OSMand is slightly too powerful for everyday use, organic maps is the perfect good-enough, less-is-better example.
>An activist shareholder is a shareholder who uses an equity stake in a corporation to put pressure on its management

Would you be surprised to learn that there are shareholder groups that use their equity claims to pursue environmental, DEI or other goals that benefit society?

>Not all shareholders are greedy. But overwhelmingly they are.

Not even close. The vast majority of shareholders own stock through ETFs and pay no attention to the finances (or politics) of the companies they own.

The fiduciary rule is to prevent executives from running the company in their interest, as opposed to the interests of the silent shareholders who actually own the company.

Nix Flake Architecture in Practice – A Beginner-Friendly Tour
I learned a lot from this, neat article!

One tip about initializing global variables in D -- the common idiom is to use a "shared static this() {}" block. This lets you set immutable variables once at the start of the program.

Since this requires the D Runtime, you can't use it in betterC, but you can use a pragma to mark a "crt_constructor" function as an equivalent:

pragma(crt_constructor)
extern(C) void init_global_state() {
// Set BSS pointers up here
}

I'm not sure whether this works in bare-metal environments (and maybe that's why it's not used).
It's always good to dream, but in silicon implementation and production, millions and billions are spent, so having anybody sharing that I think is not very likely. It's a totally different ballgame than software. But let's hope things change in the future so that this dream can come true.
Nope, that’s what yjit does. It produces machine code from Ruby, it does not transpile Ruby to Rust and then invoke rustc, I can assure you that would be far too slow.

I collect info on the bike using a Garmin eTrex GPS. Because this has physical buttons, and not a touchscreen, you don’t have to take your eyes off the road so much. You rarely have to stop at all if you just make your own personal system of abbreviations.

For example, I will save a waypoint titled "RLPGW" or "RRPGW" to specify at intersections that the road to my left or right is paved and ends in a give-way sign. Or "DWL" or "DWR" for drinking water to my left or to my right, respectively, etc. Then, when I get home, I just connect the Garmin to my laptop and comfortably upload everything using the powerful JOSM editor.

If you’re not from a traditional engineering background, some of my terminology may have been confusing. Here’s a less jargon-heavy version:

- We use Bayesian optimization to find the optimum (or worst-case) configuration of real manufactured objects and systems.
- Bayesian optimization lets us arrive at that design configuration faster than explicit, physics-based simulation of many samples within the space of all possible configurations.

- We built the framework to do that using Botorch.

- It’s not an uncommon practice by any means, but the availability of tools like Botorch now makes it a lot easier to implement Bayesian optimization in-house, vs relying on a vendor-based engineering tool.
Interesting perspective. Most people I know who are into strategy games listen to their favorite OSTs in their daily life. Personally, my Spotify playlists are mostly filled with composers like Paul Romero. There’s nothing like a good track to set the ‘right’ ambience (if there is such a thing) envisioned for an audience.

I agree that music is a super personal thing, though - in games or beyond. That mute button in echo chess is as old as the first SFX audio file I playtested. Point taken on its default state and persistence. Thanks for sharing your candid thoughts throughout.

Broken bottles are a real problem but good quality tires saves you a lot of flats. Not saying you can drive carelessly on any debris but a 30€ vs 10€ tire will be day and night. The Schwalbe Marathon Plus are the best known reference in this field. In my experience ”durable” tires from others brands are sometimes great and sometimes crap.

Also a regular bike checkup should includes tires checkup to remove the debris stuck in the rubber. Those can “move” and get you flat in the future.
Based on what?

A photoshop user controls what data photoshop uses, a DALLE user doesn’t. Even a prompt as generic as “Cat” could be producing an obviously derivative work if you compare it to the original. This is true for all prompts.
I think the only way to do this that anyone will find convincing is to have an LLM turn the human proof into a machine checkable one, so all the research into Lean etc. will still be useful.
I don’t know CCPA laws that well, but I do the EU ones. As it stands “the right to erasure / to be forgotten” is extremely vague on this, and there doesn’t seem to be a wide precedent. In general the law is applicable to raw data records and not to aggregate data/metrics, neither to models. However, models in this context refers to one particular ruling w.r.t. to insurance or credit scoring industry (don’t remember exactly which one).

I want to point out that the model doesn’t need to “spit out” removed data. It can be a classifier, or regression model, and not a generative model, and ideally, it would not be trained on your data.

Worth noting that from the technical standpoint, it’s difficult too. Say, a model costs X-large amount of dollars. Normally, I would retrain it e.g. every 6 months. But now I have erasure requests coming in on a regular basis —- retraining often to comply with those is too expensive. There’s a line of research on “machine unlearning” on how to do it efficiently but it’s quite underwhelming so far.
> it is beyond any reasonable doubt that the non-Muslims had been much better treated under the Arab rulers than the non-Christians were treated after the territory had been reconquered by the Spanish kings.

Yeah, Spain the kingdom didn't really treat Muslims all that great, one just have to look at the "Expulsion of the Moriscos" in 1609 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_of_the_Moriscos). Hard to beat that when it comes to treatment of entire populations.

Show HN: Merge – Connect Google Wear OS to Apple iOS
TLDR: Wear OS app for Samsung Galaxy Watches and Google Pixel Watches to connect them with iPhones, after Samsung and Google ditched iOS support back in 2021.

Hi all!

I recently switched to an iPhone and became frustrated when my Galaxy Watch was rendered useless, due to Google's and Samsung's decision to cut off iPhones from Wear OS back in 2021. I then started a project to create an alternative integration.

I launched it 3 weeks ago as a Google Play app for Wear OS watches, most prominently for the Samsung Galaxy Watch and Google Pixel Watch. With this app, these watches can now connect to iPhones to control notifications and take phone calls.

The response has been fantastic so far, with nearly 1k downloads and a steady growth rate. Should the demand continue to rise, I intend to expand the integration with additional features.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback, and answer any questions you might have. Thanks for your support!

It's entirely a thought experiment. There's no evidence for it whatsoever, and it doesn't even aim to be an accurate portrayal of even my shallow understanding of the history of human precursors.

It's just an example of a scenario where only a thousand people have living descendants today that isn't "a volcano erupted and almost everyone died" or something.
