Nice, thanks. I don't suppose the music is hosted on nostr is it? Urbit seems to prefer pushing everything to s3-compatible buckets (which makes sense if you're already hosting the VM on your VPS, but it's a little dissapointing that the filesystem of this "martian computing" simply takes URLs to external resources, similar problem to not storing large binaries in git) - if I had it my way everything larger than a 4KB text string would be stored as a magnet link to be swarmed by peers but what do I know? :p

Just to return the favor re: music,

https://www.door.link/ - some mixtapes urbit introduced me to, some more ambient then others, good for reading documentation to :)

https://resonate.coop/ - I learned about this worker/artist/member-owned streaming co-op at an event in SF extolling the virtues of distrubuted cooperatives or "disco's", the description of which may or may not pique your interest: https://disco.coop/2023/06/disco-beats-disco-tech-disco-cats...
I use MapOut for that purpose. I believe it also has OSM base data and allows you to draw your own routes. It provides elevation gain and loss, as well as a remarkably accurate time estimate for the hike taking into account elevation.
Lol yeah, the shadowy cabal of people who don't like neo-Nazis is conspiring against Musk.

People have been plenty clear about why they find him disgusting, if you care to look.
The "caucasian" there is redundant.
Perhaps not for long...

Shutting that office down and safely ignoring the GDPR is probably a valid concession for a US-based business built around data collection.

It's not like EU users will stop or be blocked from using X anyway.
It doesn't really bypass the TPM though. These machines configure the TPM without a pin so they can boot + decrypt the drive in an unattended mode.

I'd trust this setup to prevent drives that were removed from servers from being decrypted (like for recycling), but it's basically useless against any other class of attack.

It's good to see publicized exploits of it though; that way people can link to this blog post if a pointy-haired-boss tries to misapply this class of disk encryption.

the ethical implications of using someone's data without explicit, informed consent for each specific use case is obviously problematic.

the data landscape is ever-evolving, and what was acceptable or even conceivable years ago may not be the same today.

companies should not only be transparent but also dynamically update users on how their data is being used and offer an option to opt-out.

ignoring this not only impacts individual users but also has broader societal implications.

consent fatigue is real; expecting users to keep track and delete their accounts across numerous platforms is neither practical nor ethical.

also, cancelling your account or laboriously deleting all of your content doesn't necessarily guarantee that all your data will be deleted on the backend... did you think your comment through at all?

Nit, but they didn't pull support. They just didn't include support when they switched from Tizen to Wear OS. I'd imagine Google was more influential in that decision than Samsung.
We Used A.I. To Write Essays for Harvard, Yale and Princeton. Here’s How It Went
for that, you can use ublock.
Little Rat can block any traffic originating from a chrome extension. That includes content scripts injected by extensions into webpages, but not sites that you loaded.
If it's like the last half a dozen botnets that the FBI has taken down, it's being managed from China or Russia, and thus their chances of arresting anyone are close to nil.
I can't continue using Twitter after so many terrible decisions by Musk.
You say “restricted” I say “better defined”. Either way - A constructive setting is more expressive.

So express your English adjectives in Mathematics.

What do you mean by “restricted” when you are characterising a function?

Show me the decider… for “classical” and “non-classical” objects.

That is the definition of information; is it not? The answer to a yes/no questions

Is the object classical? Yes/no.
OpenAI had access to the twitter database since forever ago anyway with the old terms of service.
It’s 99% legitimate counterintelligence programs propelled by con-men and neo-religions. The US Government has known since at least 1976 that foreign spies (then Soviets) viewed UFO believers as mentally weak and thus targeted them to exfiltrate classified information.

There are classified operations to test potential targets. And open intelligence networks to organize and connect disparate groups.

Different parts of the government benefit in various ways. It will never be explained because the government can’t stop its employees from believing in supernatural ideas.

If there is an illegal disinformation program or psyop, it is unconnected to the government and conducted over multi-decades. It will be extremely hard to prove until it becomes operational (ie in a hot war with China).

In the meantime, the og UFO promoters are aging and they have created a new religion to explain the mysteries of life and death. These are the same people behind Lue Elizondo and David Grusch.
I upvote downvoted answers. It's nonsense.
Yeah, I’m talking about FSD driving at speeds that mean certain death, not your standard cruise control+.

Do I trust Tesla to write software that works to a degree where I would entrust it with my life? No.

The team that builds the VW (and other euro makers) software also worked on Airbus autopilot.

Got to nerd out with one of the (retired) lead engineers there and the only thing he’d get into with full autonomous driving was a Waymo.
I mean, you'd think that, but lately it constantly tries to send me down illegal lefts, and tries to have me drive on the Muni/Taxi only part of Market. In San Francisco. And if San Francisco isn't a coty where Google employees live and work, I don't know what is!
How do you keep the tension when tying that? With a regular shoelace knot, I have a spare thumb to place on the base knot so that it maintains the tension I initially selected with the base knot. With the Ian knot, it feels like I just get whatever it feels like giving me.

Didn't you just complete the third wave of layoffs?
Honestly Bluesky is more obsessed with Twitter and Musk than probably Twitter itself.

I spend a few days on there after getting the invite and didn't enjoy the experience. Every other post was making fun of Twitter/Musk and for some reason there's a lot of furry porn there.
The article is about how GoDaddy doesn't even bother scrutinizing second level registrations. Nobody is bothering to hack local governments to set up phishing domains. It's a lot easier to navigate to godaddy.com with 5 dollars and a fake address to grab a second-level domain.
Why would you have slavery back and no separation of the church and state?

If the Christian Church can recognise it needed a New Testament, then why not a new US constitution. I'm sure many of religious followers would accept the need for change and updates, as technology and business in general demonstrates on a daily basis.

Or is the resistance to change simply demonstrating peoples needs or desires to live in some rose tinted past of human history, that has white washed the abominations of the past?

If it does, should these people be making decisions for lots of people?
When you talk about reusability, Dragon is doing amazing things, and Falcon is doing amazing things. They're still in the 10s and 20s, and we're shooting for hundreds and hundreds of flights.

That seems a weird comparison. Unity is cool and all, but this is sub-orbital, and has a lot more in common with an airplane than with a rocket ship.
I won't give exact numbers, but I make 6 figures per year, enough to support myself as a sole proprietor.
is it the programming languages themselves, or the programmer comments within the training sets that improve output?
I don't see that anywhere in the title, description, or linked page. Are you sure you read that right?
Are any of them associated with domestic terrorism?
I also will not call it X, because I think it's confusing.

Quite a few years ago I remember working in Paypal's X API. Part of me wondered if I misremembered this, but no ... there are still references to it online. Maybe Musk named it. He wanted to name the entire company X, right?

Is it better than OSMAnd? (I love OSMAnd)
Are you sure of that ? I knew that the competent jurisprudence or "forum" is that of the user, or everyone could circumvent the law using "offshore" companies to track people in regulated countries (i.e. EU). I was reading here on HN that , for that reason ( avoid EU Regulation ) sites like New York Times, blocked the availability of their contents in whole EU.
I was checking, see here, for example:

Being fined != paying a fine.

Realistically, a company is only obligated to pay the fine if they have a physical presence within the EU, and care to keep that presence.

For some companies, the calculus says pay the fines and cooperate with EU laws.

But for most companies, they can and do safely ignore GDPR and other EU laws. EU laws do not apply outside the EU... despite what many Europeans want to believe.

You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed [2].

Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [3] for more details.

I'm posting here because I'm worried about the job board dice roll. Life needs to be longer to be a code monkey working for doomed software projects. Someone looking here is likelier to be interested in the craft of building software for fun and profit.

For example, yes, copy-pasta-driven programming can be helpful, but it brings baggage that is sure to sink the project, and if we do nothing about it, tech debt will quickly build up and make it feel like we're building elaborate sand castles atop of quicksand.

If you agree with me, we'll likely get along!
Bluesky and also the Fediverse are Open Platforms¹. That means your toot or post reaches anyone including those who want to train AI.

An open platform and open protocol makes it harder to prohibit AI bots from ingesting your published thoughts than when on a private, centralised service.

Mastodon, the fediverse, Bluesky, are really enabling AI learning more than prohibiting it.

¹ well, BSKY is really still just a single server.
That seems kind of hard to imagine that Cisco couldn't scale fast enough. But if it is, there is a total corporate failure on their part.
I agree with you, "whitelist" is a perfectly fine word, and "allow-list" doesn't sound good. I also agree that "mebi-byte" doesn't sound good either, but yes, at least it is sensible.

However, just because a word is OK does not mean it is applicable to all contexts. You can call the list "AllowedClients" or something else like that instead, which explains what is being allowed (since there might be multiple kinds of restrictions that you might wish to define based on lists). (Of course, this is a whitelist mode, and can be described as such.) However, if the program already exists, then changing the name of the setting would be even worse (unless the old name is still available as an alias, but you must be careful to ensure you do not mess up anything by doing so), since that would just break compatibility (you can change the documentation though if the existing documentation is unclear).

Also, in some contexts a word can be confusing and a different word is preferable. For example, if the list has something to do with colours, then using the terms "whitelist" and "blacklist" might be confusing and perhaps should not be used. Likewise, singular "they" is OK, but if singular they is confusing in that context then you should use different words instead.

Still, if some people do not like "whitelist", you do not have to use it, but you should consider what words to use which are appropriate and descriptive. Fortunately, sometimes they do, but unfortunately sometimes they don't because their only consideration is to be not racist, instead of to actually be good.

I also do not like the word "tonne"; I prefer "megagram" (which is more descriptive, just as easy to understand, and not confused with "ton").
Dupe.

I wouldn't know, because Bluesky doesn't let anyone just sign up. I'm sure the invite-only nature produces a lot of interest bubbles.
Actually there isn't. We live in a world where the freakin TV I paid for is spying on me
I've never met a pro police type that would mention anything as corruption. If you asked them directly some would agree, but as a group I generally just hear apoligism.
I setup an automation to tell me when my battery reaches 100%.

Sometimes I want to know so I can disconnect and move about for extended periods of time ASAP.
It used to be that to get a SSL certificate you had to provide a Dun & Bradstreet ID, and go through a minor audit. Was the Internet safer then? Well I certainly wasn't being phished in the 90's because it wasn't really a thing yet. I enjoy what Letsencrypt brings us so I don't want to go back to that, but I do believe the registrars are certainly partially to blame here, look at Google and .zip, how many valid domains are registered with that TLD, and how many are malicious? We can make better decisions, it just requires not being so damned greedy.

(From a subsequent HN submission.)
Of course, Google doesn't want to do what Mozilla and Apple do and pay human beings to vet extension code looking for malware. They'll just claim that making ad blockers less effective is the only possible action they can take.
Residents don't "insist on driving" in a vacuum. You build the city you want and people move into it. If you don't build car habitats, you won't get cars.

Anyway, SF has desicively destroyed whatever formerly made it unique. The arts community has been extirpated by the housing cost crisis. Even the gay rights activists don't live there any more. The whole city has been hollowed out by Boomers like Cleve Jones who live elsewhere and maintain their vacant pieds-à-terre in prime SF neighborhoods.
Grub passwords don't protect against the attack I was thinking of, since you can just pop the drive + edit the grub config:

"Errors in creating a password-protected GRUB 2 menu may result in an unbootable system. To restore a system with broken passwords, access and edit the GRUB 2 configuration files using the LiveCD or another OS."

However, it didn't occur to me that you can just press "e" at the grub prompt, then modify the command line without physical access. "Trivial" indeed.
Don't browser extensions essentially represent the failure of the browser to provide features that users want/need? I find Firefox unusable out of the box due to their failure to implement vertical tabs (in fact, it seems that Mozilla actively hates vertical tabs because they make it so hard to turn off horizontal tabs) and so I am stuck with using Sidebery, which, like most of the very useful extensions, requires "Access your data for all websites."

The best Mozilla can say about the security of their browser when using extensions (even ones that they recommend) is:
"While there is an element of risk to installing any third-party software, there are a few simple best practices you can follow to reduce it. Is the extension made by a reputable developer? Are the user ratings high?"
From: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/02/01/understanding-ext...

I don't want to rely on reputation and user ratings as these are ephemeral and easily faked. I want a browser to include necessary features out of the box and I want their code to be independently audited.

If this chaotic mess is simply because of the need to monetize I would gladly pay for a trustworthy, feature rich browser.
Seeing bugs is one thing (I stopped using twitter like 5 years ago or so and it was always a bug fest so I can believe it got even worse) but we are talking about a single specific bug here with important privacy consequences. Some reliable proof would be nice.
