This is a weird question: why would you use anything like Docker Desktop to begin with?

I didn't even know Docker Desktop existed until couple months ago. My wife works on MS Windows and she needed to run someone's project that was for some reason distributed in Docker images... She couldn't get Docker installed on Windows, but that's kind of expected as everything is kind of screwy there... so, I had to use Web search to figure out what is the way to do it (she did try to get Docker Desktop).

I ended up configuring Hyper-V (solely because it comes bundled with the system) and installing Docker in some Arch VM I set up for that.

I cannot claim that this is a "comfortable" setup, but given the overall bad UX of that OS and that Docker isn't designed to run on it from the start, I think it's an OK solution.

I briefly tried opening the Docker Desktop GUI, and I just cannot understand why would anyone need that specific thing... it just seems to make everything worse at the baseline. You immediately miss the convenience of being able to feed the output it produces into grep / pager or to combine information extracted from one output with the input into another operation.
The elites didn't construct the market. You're just looking for someone to blame. The market came as an emergent property.

The elites are at fault as much as you and I are at fault. The story of oil is a human crisis caused by humanity itself. We like to blame specific groups but that's just not reality.
I love Yuzu and Ryujinx both. It’s crazy that they can provide a superior experience to the native console. I suspect the party’s about to be over thanks in no small part to Denuvo.
I’m on infosec.exchange, our limit is 11000 chars. That’s more than enough.
How can X become a super app when it can't even be a social media and chat app right?
> All this data really tells us is that the NHS is underfunded and badly managed

It doesn't even tell us this. The metric could increase if you e.g. treat more conditions, treat older/sicker people that you used to, improve health education/screening to identify more at risk people that used to die before any diagnosis etc.
Social media companies can get some of the people all of the time, or all of the people for some of the time. For a while Facebook and Twitter managed to be in the second group, which is an hugely profitable group to be in, and they both thought it would last forever.
Using social media seems common for people around 50 years old. Isn't it?
> Shows where we're at

Nah, it just shows where that person's mind is at. HN, in particular, has plenty of strong opinions from both sides of the metaphorical aisle. Particularly in this discussion.
Does Frege's “On Sense and Reference” place limits on LLM capability?
Curious if someone who knows more than me about Frege's thought might weigh in. Are there any concrete examples that appear to violate this in LLMs? Maybe robotics?
You've got four options:

1. Live with it.

2. Quit.

3. Say something and choose option 1 or 2. If you're lucky, they'll provide an option 4, just be prepared for option 2.

4. Be defiant or passive, don't do it and see what happens.

Red flag? No, not necessarily. There are many positions out there in tech which are 'ra-ra'. Sounds like the company wants it's rank and file to be that representation (which IMO is not a smart move by the employer).

If you're living outside of the US in a workers paradise, this may not apply to you and you might be better off than the rest of us living under an oppressive capitalist regime that consumes people, taking their last breath for that next hundredth of a percent "productivity" improvement.
HN loves to complain about Discord (with good reason), but Discord is anti-gloss.

Small Discord communities can generate a lot of discussion, a lot of user generated content. Discord is also a poor place to do stealth advertising; if you post fake messages about how good your product is, those messages will just get buried and will never show up in a search result; it's not very effective.

Things changed this year. We saw the rise of LLMs and the fall of Twitter and Reddit and the rise of federated social networks. I think the Twitter / Mastodon format is more robust for both small and large user bases; the Reddit format is dying. Real-time chat rooms still have a place, especially with the right tooling / notifications. LLMs threaten to replace all of them and end the online network effect altogether.
> why can't we do nuclear

Because the free market is not willing to bear the risks - even when you ignore the whole "nuclear waste" and "meltdown" part. The construction costs are extremely high and basically guaranteed to wildly exceed initial estimates, while electricity price is highly volatile.

The only way companies are interested in building reactors is by having a guaranteed government subsidy. For example, Sizewell C in the UK has negotiated a guaranteed electricity price of £119 / MWh. The long-term electricity spot price in the UK for 2013-2021 is closer to £70, so taxpayers have to pay an additional £49 / MWh in subsidies. Good luck selling that to the nuclear-skeptic taxpayers.

The moment social media became mostly corporate, I lost interest in it. We're supposed to socialize between each other, not between ourselves and the ads that abuse us
Well, he proved a theorem. He chose to define a “godlike object” and showed in every carefully-defined “world” such an object exists. Saying that this “proves the existence of god” is … a bit of an overreach, don’t you think?
> but moved everything of consequence to better providers.

What other providers do you recommend?
It's because of the outcome not the action itself. Apple bundling music with iPhone doesn't risk putting multiple public companies out of business. If Apple partnered with google (and maybe Microsoft/Windows) to bundle apple music into Android you'd probably have a stronger case.
> Do you honestly believe that Joe Biden is not corrupt?

I have no idea. But I do think that if he were the most corrupt in history, there would be more evidence. Donald Trump set the bar pretty high here.

I think it's actually quite likely that Biden is not corrupt at all, because if there were even the tiniest shred of credible evidence of corruption against him, the Republicans would have impeached him for it already. I think the only reason they haven't done it is that there is no evidence. That doesn't mean he's not corrupt. But if he is, he seems to have concealed it pretty effectively.
Electronics Course (45 episodes, YouTube)
No, it's corruption. The UK has a reputation as a low corruption state as it's pretty good with petty corruption. The corruption indices are based on corruption perception and the UK has historically been less corrupt so much of that perception is dated. The general public in the UK is not involved in the big ticket items so they tend not to see the machinations. It doesn't take much digging which is why it's ridiculous that the SFO abandons so many investigations due to 'insufficient evidence'.
(PhD and math professor here)

What do you want out of your PhD? If you want the initials after your name then great, but the only way to juggle a full time job with PhD (which itself is a full time job) is to half-ass both. Maybe this suits your goals, but I find this difficult to imagine. Are you in a position where a mediocre PhD, with a weak recommendation from your thesis advisor, would actually do something for you?

Personally, as an advisor I wouldn't even take a student with a full time job, let alone side hustles in addition. I'd assume they'd have too little time and energy to accomplish anything. And are you even able to attend seminars, go to conferences, etc. etc. which are a normal part of graduate work?

I definitely agree that it's worthwhile to maintain physical fitness and at least something of a social life no matter what. Beyond that, I'd agree with what everyone else is saying: choose what is most important to you, and focus on that more narrowly.
Well, yes and no. If they reasonably believe they can make future revenue from it, it would be dishonest (and illegal) to value it at $0. I have no doubt that they are playing funny accounting games, but they have to play within the rules set by the IRS.
“rights to effective individual defense” isn't going to cut it against a government armed with nuclear weapons, tanks, and what not. The notion that a few guns will protect you against government overreach is outdated by at least a hundred years.
X now wants your biometric data, job, education history for ‘safety, security’
It's not that we want to defend KF, it's that we want to have a discussion on the merits of the issue not the reputation of the participants.

KF is ultimately an archive site. It "keeps receipts" in their words. If storing someone's posts is bad, is archive.org bad for performing the same function?

If KF supports harassment campaigns then make that case, but they seem not to. I've seen more harassment and threats on Twitter (literally!) than on KF threads.

If suicide is your metric, are you also against storing the words of people you find objectionable in case they commit suicide when discovered? What if a neo-nazi was recorded being a nazi and killed himself, is that bad?

I personally support storing the speech (because it's censorship not to allow it) and I support legal charges for people who go beyond - let the courts sort out the fine lines.
So, how many people will fall for it? The very last thing you want to do is to put a guy like Elon Musk (or Mark Zuckerberg, or Jeff Bezos for that matter) in charge of collecting this sort of data. Before you know it your now mandatory Twitter(sorry, X), Amazon or Facebook account is your life and these wealthy and empathy free people will be in charge of it.

This is something you do at your peril.

Perhaps to braindead fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But the question is not about how he represents the non billionaire cohort, is it?
Job matching probably "This strategic move comes after Twitter’s acquisition of Laskie, a job-matching tech startup, in May."

Well, I don't know if anyone else responds to the mailing lists anymore to be honest. You can still get in touch through IRC though. We are on libera currently(and dogfooding tox groupchats). #tox for user related questions and #toktok for development.

Edit: Also, development is happening on github: https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore
My main point is that demonizing the use of hydrocarbons is absurd. Our use of them is one of the main reasons we've been going from a world where most people was incredibly poor 200 years ago, to most of the world's population living in relative prosperity today (compared to 200 years ago).

Now that we're developing alternative energy sources, we should start/continue to move away from fossil fuels, but if we try to do it too quickly, the price may be higher than the benefit.
As impressive as it sounds to say South Korea developed successfully on its own, did it? Did the US play any hand in its development? I mean obviously South Korea would not exist had it not been for the US' help in the war. But even afterwards, is there an sort of advantage South Korea had by having the US (the leading super power at the time) help?
I have physical copies of the games I play in Ryujinx, and don’t dump the ROMs myself. I suspect I’m in the minority however.
Odd. I find book reviews there, with the rating, quite a decent indicator of whether I might enjoy a particular book.
Yes, basically:

- one "full name" field. (English speakers would use Firstname Lastname)
- one "how should we call you?" name. (English speakers would use their first name, in some other cultures people would preferred to be called by their last name)
This line if reasoning is such bullshit, sorry. The underlying tone is always "childfree people are selfish", with the underlying message "parents are such giving people", as you pretty much explicitly say in your comment.

Except I have known plenty of parents, including some with gigantic families, who are some of the most selfish, narcissistic people I've ever met. They basically saw their children as an extension of themselves, like they were building some "noble family" bullshit or something. Simultaneously, I've also seen people without children who have dedicated their entire lives to public service and helping others.

Of course not all parents and people without parents are like this. I personally have never seen any evidence that those with or without kids (voluntarily) differ in their giving nature towards others.

Corporations don't make money unless the people purchase their products.

In fact who is actually causing emissions? They sell products and it's the end users who burn the product.

Every gallon of oil you use is equivalent to a democratic vote for oil ... we all can choose to vote in the other direction right now... but we don't.
At the end it's all humans.

Government does what the voters want so the get elected/re-elected. Unfortunately voters don't seem to want to pay more tax for fuel and electricity. They don't seem to want to pay additional taxes for their flights etc.

Politicians are slowly phasing in these kind of policies, but it is not fast and drastic enough.

Maybe soon with a bit more forest fires and heat waves and water scarcity the population will ask and show in the polls that they want more and more drastic measures.

Once the majority of the population decides we cannot continue as we have done, then things will happen, but it goes to slow unfortunately.

Just look at everyone who without blinking takes a long flight for their holiday. In one swoop they spend as much energy as they use in one year on commuting with car, cooking, heating house, warming water, household machines etc.
Hard to argue against that. There's clearly a higher bar in Steam. Hopefully that will continue.
Instacart IPO: Race against market saturation
While South Korea has the largest fertility rate fall it's important that they are just the most extreme of many countries. East Asian countries in general like China and Japan have been having a big fall, and many European countries are as well. France has the highest birthrate of any European country at 1.84 but even that is below replacement rate.

Anecdotal data of 1 but I still post to FB and Twitter (uh, X) fairly often. I never got into IG (too superficial, and I actually prefer discussion). Tried Threads for a couple days and it never latched. Reddit (arguably accidentally) permabanned me across all my accounts after I accidentally used a different login to post to a sub I had been (debatably, mods can be jerks) banned on 1 of my accounts in a long while back (this literally flags all of your accounts, which they determine via ML fingerprinting, as "ban evasion accounts" which leads to a permaban across ALL of them... I wish I was joking), so mostly out of pure disgust I haven't been back even to view the read-only bits on a multireddit, and there's no one I can contact there who will respond fairly, so f**** Reddit (which is saying a lot, especially since I've had an account there since it was brand new!)

I've started checking out https://lobste.rs/ since I finally got an account there, but they literally make you wait 90 days before you can invite anyone else (I guess this is "anti-hockey-stick" development?)
Twitter doesn't show me the people I follow, and instead show people I "might like", in no particular time order. When I do interact, almost noone of my followers can see my post because I'm not an advertiser / paid user. Same from Facebook. So it's not worth "building an audience" if you can't communicate with it, and your audience can be taken from you at will.
Streaming TV Scale Depends on Content Signal Transparency
Once corruption has set in the other explanations like 'apathy' and 'incompetence' are no longer reasonable as it is very much in the interest of someone to leverage that apathy and incompetence for corrupt reasons. The idea that people who professionally siphon off public money will let $70M slip by without getting a piece of that action does not hold water.

From a local high school history textbook (commenting on the the first amendment):

> Just how liberty should be limited is a matter of debate. For example, most
of us support freedom of speech, especially when it applies to speech we agree
with. But what about speech that we don’t agree with or that hurts others, such
as hate speech? Should people be at liberty to say anything they please, no matter how hurtful it is to others? Or should liberty be limited at times to serve a greater good? If so, who should decide how, why, and under what circumstances
liberty should be limited?

Interestingly, there's a bunch of little asides like this. And most of them have this glaringly obvious lean to them, where they choose examples to comment on very conveniently. Personally I don't think niche political aspirations to "reinterpret" the first amendment have a place in a textbook for high schoolers
> My solution? Spread the population apart such that people will stop comparing themselves with one another.

Small villages where everyone knows each other can be just as bad regarding bullying and talking behind one's backs, although I do agree - especially as some here in Western countries keep advocating for megacities and accelerating rural flight because of resource usage efficiency - that too dense populations are a hotbed of all kinds of social issues.
What's the advantage of spinning up an entire VM to run a local Pi Hole instance instead of just setting up a firewall or using a browser blocker like uBlock Origin? I was under the impression that spinning up a Pi Hole instance is really only necesary if you own devices which don't allow for such things, like smart TVs and other internet-connected appliances.
I am using rule of 1.5. It's just like rule of 2, but I also name (e.g. make a separate function) any block of code whose result value is not obvious from a single glance.
Yeah, true. But I think the argument holds also for this utility function.

There is something about your society that you like, else you would be somewhere else. And, bluntly, if your society doesn't make babies, today, then in 20-30 years time there won't be people brought up in this culture. Either your society will go into decline for lack of said people, or will rely on immigration (assuming it's attractive to expats), eg people with different values to your society's.

It's not saying one society is better than another, only that if you think there is something good about your society (liberal rights? nukes? hell, maybe you're North Korean and like dictators!) then it takes babies to sustain it.

The default is you will get people brought up with values of most populous societies, which may or may not align with yours.

If you really want to have children but are worried about climate change and cost - may I suggest you look moving to norhern europe. The region will survive most predicted outcomes and childcare is heavily state subsidized. That is if you would love to have a family but can’t for the stated reasons. It’s totally fine not to want children as personal choice without any rationalization as well!
UPDATE:
They refused the appeal for no reasons.
It never occured to me that the change can be framed this way, I will learn from this.

I just use Goodreads to keep track of what I read so I can go back and see some highlights from certain kindle books that I've semi-forgotten. I dislike their goals in terms of "books/month" and "books/year" - which IMO emphasizes entirely the wrong aspect of reading and makes a meaningless quantitative assessment! Reddit for recommendations works way better.

> Colorectal cancer screening is not all that unpleasant

Also not that harmless as you think. Only you suggest to perform it on 24 other patients who won't ever have a colon cancer. And that might be you, right? With the real risk (albeit small, but you need to multiply it by 25) of having a serious complication which eventually may result in a premature death.
Here in Chicago business is a secondary cause of murders. The biggest reason is honestly just fragile egos.

1. The largest military industrial complex / empire the world has seen to date, struggles with underequipped, undereducated insurgents fighting for their beliefs already.

The problem is Twitter doesn't have a critical mass of users or government support to make these invasive requirements actually happen.
