Be nice! They're just taking this on, and not already having sorted out whether they'll work with "all PR commits must have good messages and pass tests" vs "all PRs must be squashed" is the kind of minor issue you see with teams starting this sort of thing.

The term "pirate" definitely predates the 90's and RIAA, etc. We used it quite liberally in the 80's BBS era.
As a recently returned rsync.net customer, I was a bit surprised to peruse the docs and see that Fuse/sshfs is still up as a recommended option for Mac integration (see https://www.rsync.net/resources/howto/mac_sshfs.html). A few months ago this led me down the path of trying ExpanDrive/StrongSync, but this is the first I've heard of Mountain Duck (love Cyberduck though). I'm looking forward to giving it a spin now but if it has been working well for you please consider updating this page for others. Happy customer otherwise!
Thanks for raising this. I support the law addressing this issue and would also support Commission action on this.
Oh ok, that surprises me, Poland has a reputation of being very strongly anti-LGBT (and Hungary too). Guess it depends on the area.

When I was in Ireland there were many people against single parents "Lone parents" they call them there, it was a real witch hunt in the media.

So yeah we get these things here but it tends to be localised.
Ask HN: Need some suggestions for my app
Hi everyone, I am just a college student creating a new type of ai powered personal assistant and a major part of it is mail management.
Would just like to know how many emails you get per day and what would you like your virtual personal assistant to do related to your email and calendar if you had one.

Pardon me for my English if I made any mistakes, I am not a native speaker.
Japan essentially reached full stagnation in the 90's and has continued to stagnate to the present day. Transition simply happens and society adjusts.
We support auto build/deploy upon the launch of your application and then on every code commit to the branch configured. The docker image is stored in a container registry in your cloud account.

Outside of the auto build/deploy process, we don't yet support ad-hoc docker builds.
The most important thing is what happens after vendors fail and disappear - the code and keys and reproducible build system must be released so people can fix their things.

A standard and an org for keeping those things in escrow, please!
> I'm trusting his indictment. The indictment he's facing has a maximum 170 years in prison, not execution.

What prevents the US government from filing another indictment? Usually, only the bilateral extradition agreements between nations have provisions against that (by stating that extradited persons can only be charged for the crimes listed in the warrant), but if that were violated, it would not be much more than a minor diplomatic event between the UK and US.
Thanks, but, that FCC document clearly says it's about a "voluntary labeling program", and, the title of this HN post has the word "regulation" and the text has language like "require" [0]. And the phrase "oppose[...] even voluntary ones", which clearly sounds like someone's proposing non-voluntary stuff.

I read your linked HN comment too, but: "legitimate interest in" [1] a thing and actual "authority" to do a thing are not the same thing.

I feel like I'm being bamboozled here. The fcc.gov "Notice", and this HN post, seem like they're talking about substantially different proposals.

[0] "I’ve advocated for the FCC to require device manufacturers to support their devices with security updates for a reasonable amount of time"

Not thinking of leaving - it’s small niche app and don’t have much incentives to migrate.
As good as Steam might be, it’s still required for the games you purchased to run, and that doesn’t align with some people. You own your games on Steam as much as you own your music on Spotify. So priacy is still alive and well, and a lot of the arguments I see for it is stripping DRM and ownership.

I prefer Steam over other platforms because multiplayer is effortless, with a friend or at a LAN party that means means more time actually playing the game. But if it’s not on Steam or not everyone can afford it, we’re probably playing a cracked, portable copy.
It's not just that it makes the web less powerful, it also makes it less private and less user-controllable. There is no effective way to build an offline webapp that handles important data, if you're building a website that handles actually important data -- that data is getting synced to an online account.

As a result there are a number of web-apps that could be entirely account-free and offline that aren't. It also makes it a lot harder for users to move and transform data, although maybe that's less of a consideration nowadays since mobile has kind of standardized data silos even for native apps that would have previously had portable databases or worked directly with files.

Not saying you should want it, I completely understand and am completely sympathetic to anyone who says "the benefits don't outweigh the risks." That is a fine position for someone to take. That being said, this isn't just about trying to make the web more powerful, it's also in a lot of ways about fixing long-time deficiencies in the web that have made it less private and that forcibly shift the majority of even well-intentioned web software into a user-hostile SaaS model. When every webapp is a SaaS business with web accounts, that decreases hobby development in favor of corporate development and encourages users to spread their data in (imo) irresponsible ways.
I had similar thoughts when I read a comment from a (non-technical) project manager in a discussion a few months ago. He said something like he uses ChatGPT to summarize the long winded emails of their developer. (He was working for/owning some kind of agency where apparently software developers weren't in the focus, really.)

He also mentioned writing emails with ChatGPT (though I can't remember if these were for communicating with the devs, but it doesn't really matter). I remember thinking that well, you my friend are pretty ignorant and not someone I'd like to work with. Even unethical.

So someone puts in the work to inform you about important details of their work/thought process and then this guy just ignores the whole thing. Even if the developer in question is really sharing more details than needed the right thing to do is to actually manage them and teach them to share less and make their own decision. (Hard to tell from the outside, of course, and the manager in question might be wrong too.)

Now if someone also blows up their own emails with generated details, especially if it's toward the same person whose email they have compressed with the AI then besides robbing the time of others, they may successfully deceive others and themselves and pretend that they have the knowledge what they don't have. And that will hurt the decisions made by them and by others. Basically the shared reality that you want to create with communication will not be a shared reality but out-of-sync views and you'll end up with a lot more "oh, but when I said that I thought you meant X...."

Oh man. I would have LOVED to be able to talk to Lumen engineers via IRC a couple years ago. It took about 4 1/2 months to work through the army of script-reading CS reps to get to a manager who agreed to let me talk to a tier-2 rep who immediately put me in the queue for a callback from an engineer. Within 5 minutes of talking with THAT engineer, they had enough info to realize someone had mis-keyed my account number in one of their internal tools. It took another five minutes for them to correct it and within an hour my intarwebs were working fine. I suspect that had I been able to talk to a tier-2 engineer (even if via IRC) it would have taken at most a day to resolve.
I'll work on it some more based on feedback I'm receiving and submit it. Thank you.
First problem: You presume this person has another executable of provable provenance to check against.

Second problem: There could be many different official executables for this game. Each would have a different hash. Provenance proving applies here too.

Third problem: Two hash values doesn't communicate the actual story as well as what this person (who may or may not be a journalist, that appears to be your assumption) chose to do.

Can you elaborate what you mean by "content" tool? Are your ideal users creating marketing sites, blog posts, or other?

In my experience, most of what content teams work with are some forms of CMS, and the design tools usually deal with layout and creating generic sites that work with the data structure inside the CMS.

Japan comes to mind, e.g. the Burakumin aka Japanese Untouchables

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burakumin

> Burakumin (部落民, 'hamlet/village people', 'those who live in hamlets/villages') is a term for ethnic Japanese people who are believed to be descended from members of the pre-Meiji castes which were associated with kegare (穢れ, 'defilement'), such as executioners, undertakers, slaughterhouse workers, butchers, and tanners...Due to severe discrimination and ostracism in Japanese society, these groups came to live as outcasts, in their own separate villages or ghettos. After the caste system was abolished, the term burakumin came into use to refer the former caste members and their descendants, who continued to experience stigmatization and discrimination.
Sometimes you may need to debug the actual wasm code or understand what the compiler is outputting. Depending on the flags you set during compilation, you may want to optimize for size of binary or for performance. You may also want to compare the wasm produced by two different languages or different versions of the language compiler. Maybe you want to verify what libraries are actually getting bundled with your wasm.

A point often left out of this discussion is that a love of reading is usually engendered by a single book. Not by reading 10 books over the summer, though, of course, that's something all kids should do. You can't really predict when it will happen, or what book will be the catalyst.

I wish I'd find some :) For me it has generally been a breaking point in relations or at least a very contentious point.

However at this point I'm so old that with a partner of the same age it's simply not really relevant anymore. Either they have never had them, have had them and they grew up, or they just can't get them anymore.
I agree that any bias or ties should be openly disclosed. It's sadly seldom the case. That said, even people with a bias should be heard, and there is certainly room for opinions that counterweigh what sometimes amounts to scapegoating of the tech industry. I think the article has some merit in that regard, and additionally offers a birds eye view of the hysteria that currently grips US politics that I found welcome, and refreshing.

I don't mind them in devices like this, where the configuration is built into the device firmware. Where I found it incredibly frustrating was with the Razer laptops, where the rainbow stream would run constantly until the Synapse software finally launched and it switched to your preferred configuration. I wish default on some of these devices was just basic white or off to keep from running into issues.

CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredrapp/

Email: jaredHN@starblade.io

Hi, I'm Jared Rapp. I have over 10 years of experience as a full stack engineer and nearly 4 years as a VP of engineering where I managed a team of 6 senior product engineers. At that role I worked directly with the leadership team to translate business objectives into engineering projects and then with my engineering team to bring them to life. Along the way I had the opportunity to present to the board of directors, pitch our company to potential acquirers, perform countless diligence exercises and ultimately navigate a bankruptcy process.

On the development side I'm just as happy writing software as I am hosting it, optimizing it or monitoring it for problems.

Most of my experience has been in online e-commerce which involved countless a/b tests, hundreds of marketing technology integrations, load testing and performance optimization (I hate Black Friday!). We also built some amazingly engaging experiences including a fashion crowdsourcing platform and a live streaming shopping experience where customers could chat with our staff as we launched new products daily. In a prior life I also built Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).

I'm open to consulting, contracting, full or part time work.

I'm also open to pick-up basketball in San Francisco!

>I want exceptional battery life.

You can get very good battery life with a modern "windows" (i.e non-mac) laptop with a bigger battery, and running a very lightweight distro like bunsenlabs (an optionally tweaking some CPU throttling parameters). In standby the battery should last close to a full day. With modern fast charging over USB-C, this works very well.

You can also just get a modern Android Tablet with good battery life, and use a bluetooth keyboard + mouse with something like Termux on the backend. You can run vscode web gui for an IDE.
>> some of the tech world has put in significant effort to silence conservatives

It's true, but that would be within Twitter and Meta's rights. The real issue was that they did so at the behest of the incoming administration, in behind-the-scenes meetings. It's the involvement of government officials that may have broken laws and trampled the First Amendment. Also egregious and painful to see was that they shadow-banned accounts rather than banning them outright.

But I don't see how that has anything to do with a private, non-government advocacy group making their feelings known to advertisers. It happens all the time. Conservative groups call to boycott Budweiser, liberal groups call to boycott Chik-fil-A. It's not illegal.

However, it's effective as a stunt for Elon, because saying that a Jewish advocacy group has the power to shut down his business implies, as subtext, the unspoken bit about Jews controlling the world. The statement and the choice of target leans on that implication. And the quote where he jokes that they're a defamation organization, as opposed to "anti-", reminds me of Sartre's quote which is worth repeating in full:

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
I meant that some people (like motion-challenged and otherwise disabled) cannot leave their flats easily.

This is independent from my being Portuguese and having Brazilian relatives who have witnessed (and been victims of) violent (and murderous) acts during robberies.

Want to keep being snarky, or should we move on to discuss that life is _really hard_ in some places?
While not too big a deal on its own, if the binary was doing something it wasn't supposed to (which was/is common with cracked games from untrustworthy sources) it would open Rockstar up to a mountain of liability.

Show HN: Tarot Raven - Tarot chatbot using RWKV-Raven-3B on your iOS device
Backstory: Originally conceived as an augmented reality tarot app circa 2016, rebranded as an AI tarot reading app August '23 with on-device Vicuna-v1.5-7B but even with 3bit quantization the model required at least 4GB ram to run inference which limited the app to iPhone14 while still prone to out-of-memory crashes and chat functionality that was limited to devices with at least 8GB.

This most recent update/rebrand introduces RWKV-Raven-3b reducing the memory requirement to under 3Gb making the app with full chat usable on iPhone 12 and above at the cost of generated output quality. Given its size the performance of RWKV-Raven-3B is quite impressive.

Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.

The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.

They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.

Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing."

"That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

Wyoming’s Crypto-Friendly Aspirations Are Colliding with Economic Reality
That's completely missing the point. This is not about perfection, this is about the threat level.

Decryption is always going to be technically possible. A government can always get possession of a phone, invest a lot of time and skill to get the key out of it, and then use that. This is what happened in that one famous Apple case, and this is what is always going to happen when people use E2E encryption. The point I made in my other posts was that once you get the key, you have the key, and that doesn't change just because the key is on the phone. That's your threat model when you use E2E encryption.

TLS works the same way. The encryption keys are ephemeral, but they're temporarily stored on your computer and on the server you're communicating with. If you want to attack a TLS connection (and you can!) you need to obtain the key from either the server or the client, and that's your threat model when you use TLS.

This is a completely fine and acceptable threat model as long as the keys are stored in a disparate sea of targets, either on hundred of millions of possible client/server machines for TLS, or on each person's phone (each one with a different model, from a different maker, and using different apps) for E2E. The thing is, in such a distributed model, nobody can realistically get every key out of every phone at once. This makes every single attack targeted to a couple of high-profile target, and therefore the impact of successful attacks way, wayyyy lower.

The issue arises when you decide to forbid end-to-end encryption, and instead mandate a global way to decrypt everything without needing access to the phone itself. This changes the threat model in a way that makes it unsustainable.

Again, and I know I repeated that vault analogy but it's a great way to explain attack surfaces and threat models: It's fine if everyone has a vault at home with their life savings in gold inside, because nobody can realistically rob every vault from everyone at once. It's still fine if every city has a vault where people store their gold, because while a few robberies might happen, it's possible to have high enough security to make it not worth to rob this vault. It starts being a bad idea to ask everyone to put their gold into a large, unique central vault that "only the government" has access to, because the money you need to spend to protect that vault is going to be prohibitive (and no way the government isn't going to skimp out on that at some point). And finally, it's an awful ideal to make that with magical gold that you can steal by touching it with a finger and teleporting out with it, because all of that gold is going to disappear so fast you better not blink, and losing that combined pile gold is going to impact every citizen ever.

It's a matter of threat modeling: the moment there's a way to access absolutely everything from a single entry point with possibly avoidable consequences for the attacker, then that entry point becomes so enticing that you can't protect it. You just can't. No amount of effort, money, and technical know-how is going to protect that target.
