So you're upset because cops are being "dicks" while investigating crimes?

Having public conversations and having cops insert themselves is.. actually really well established case law. Yes the cops can listen in when you have no expectation of privacy.

We don't want cops having and abusing backdoors but "playing the game" is perfectly legit. The cops do not owe you some sense of playing gently.
Even native English speakers could use it.

For example, I am constantly reading prose by extremely intelligent and well-educated people, that is almost painful to read.

One of the things that ChatGPT is great for, is generating eminently readable prose. In fact, I'm recommending to my team, that we consider using it to generate some of our help dialogs.

In many cases, I wish more folks would use it.
Nah, it's no good. Especially with the Moonlight Sonata. Each chord in a bar requires both left and right hand notes. I try to press a key with each hand, but that counts as two keystrokes, whereas it should only count for one. It teaches the wrong muscle memory, definitely some work needed around chords.
Funny that in today's Hacker Newsletter [0], they exclude this thread from their Show HN section. Even though it has way more points than other stories.

You can just disable the anti-fingerprinting features in LibreWolf and it'll work fine with online banking and stuff if you just want de-cluttered Firefox.
The lion's share of Mozilla's funding comes directly from Google [0]. The official reason is to feature G search as the default in Firefox, but it also conveniently keeps alive the only browser preventing antitrust action against chromium.

It’s likely this is a sign the US government needs to regulate Musk and StarLink more aggressively for national security reasons. While Musk is wealthy, the US government’s resources are effectively limitless.

Edit: To be clear, in this instance, it isn't "Elon Bad!" It's that no one person should be able to wield nation state power without all of the governance that goes with a nation state.

> How many engineers on the team will be able to work on it?

In my experience, basically all of them. Rust isn't that hard to learn on the job, it's maybe hard for some people to learn in isolation.

Obviously adding a new language requires understanding that there's going to need to be build system support, dev support, etc. I guess I assumed that was there? Unless Wiz is still in the 'wild west' phase where you can just do whatever you want.
That is actually very smart and helpful, thanks! :) My only gripe with autokey is that it's the only thing holding me back from wayland. Hawck is supposed to work with wayland but I never got it to work, was a while ago I tried though

>Are they going to beat confessions out of "guilty" thoughtcrime "perpetrators" too?

Though talking about the LAPD instead of NYPD, this joke has been going around since the early 1990's:

The LAPD, the FBI, & the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals.

The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.

The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.

The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.

The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling, "Okay, okay, I'm a rabbit, I'm a rabbit!"
Strongly agree. It’s entirely possible that the problems are attributable to GC but there are many alternatives within Node-land that could help: streams? A library that stores data in a typed array rather than raw objects?

Adding an entirely new language and toolchain to your development process reeks of over engineering. Now your project needs a Rust dev on hand, what if you leave? Will there definitely be someone to pick up the slack?
> your tax dollars are being wasted but the bulk of waste is on worthless, lazy, BS spouting academics

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't peer review usually volunteer work? With the job of the (usually paid) editors to select reviewers with a track record of basic competence.

> Do you really think "the academy" couldn't have come to some consensus on how to allocate review duties for papers that are uploaded/stored/submitted there?

Actually, there are several proposals! One such system is https://openreview.net/about – it's not the first I've seen, but it's the most recent. (I first learned about these things from a fictional proposal in a Pokémon fanwork: it's far from the realm of niche.)

> Journal (and conference) reviewers are completely anonymous

To reduce the incentives for nepotistic anti-scientific behaviour. The system's flawed, sure, but it works how it does for a reason.

I wouldn't really call them overloads, but you're right they are a lot like case statements. The benefit is that you can combine them with pattern matching to vastly simplify how you handle edge cases. You can pull nil and error handling out of your main logic and into function heads. You can easily separate logic for different input types and values. You can do all sorts of cool stuff with it.
Large scale water management I see as human instinct. It is exhibited by a group of kids playing in a creek.

Imagine how cultures could be built up simply on water management.

Finally a recent culture with a flood story has a funny twist. None of the normal words for flood like events were used to describe the event. Instead there is a a unique word that describes the event and is used in one other location in the whole collection. The second occurrence doesn't describe a flood at all.

I only bring up the ideas becuase I think communal water management is fun and if there are always enough resources could be communal with each member doing their small part for the whole.

The second is just how big water catastrophe was in the older worlds.

I included a link to a reference. (not the reference I wanted the one I could find).

By my reading, it wasn’t OP who did this conflating.
I have been highly critical of using LLMs in places where they shouldn’t be used. With that being said, isn’t writing assistance the one thing we can all agree that they should be used for?

I do think that declaring AI assistance is a good thing, but even if an author does not do so I don’t see a huge issue here. Sure, you can have your LLM generate bogus data, but you are willing to do this you probably were unethical before LLMs anyways.
I didn't downvote this post, but I don't find it hard to see why someone would:

* making incredibly general hand-wavy statements implying vscode is always perfectly lag-free and emacs is terrible

* generally condescending and hostile tone: "if you invested the time.." "you saw fit to reply with"

* some ranting and name-calling about a previous negative experience this person has had, which has nothing to do with anyone in this thread. (given the general tone of this post, i'd say there's a good chance that it was just this person deciding to abuse some unpaid emacs/lsp volunteer/maintainer and they rightfully said "go fuck yourself")

* sadly, there is actually useful information contained in this post, but it's sort of structured as an inverse "shit sandwich" - some ranting and negativity, some useful and relevant information, and then more ranting and name-calling. which, i think, tends to mean most people are just going to ignore it or downvote. not really a constructive contribution to the discussion, despite actually having something useful to say
I am a live long firefox user that also uses chrome. The difference between the two in term of performance is so small and differenciated between various areas, it doesn't even matter.

Usability is a very subjective topic, but for me there are things in firefox or it's addons that I cannot have in chrome.

And in the end I need to trust my browser for daily (non-developer) use. Trusting google is naive. I don't say Mozilla is deserving of unquestioned trust either, but out of the two it is the better choice.

I'm not sure this is the sentence you meant. Of course anybody can listen in when you have no expectation of privacy. Without a court ordered search warrant, they can't listen in when you do have expectation of privacy.

Someone who isn't me found cannabis intolerable because it was making them feel anxious. Asked whether they considered using a smaller dose or lower potency they said they already tried that. What happened was even though they acquired the least strong stuff it was still too much for them to benefit from it. They ended up with a process making edibles, very much diluting the weakest stuff and that proved useful to them.
> Great point! But do you think people of China trust WeChat? I doubt you need to have reputation to do what Elon plans to do with X. You just need lots of power/money.

That stuff flies when the media is indifferent towards you, or even supportive. But what about when you're on their shitlist and every media piece is an opportunity to whine and groan about you?

With Elon being on the mainstream media's shitlist due to many reasons, I think he'll have to work harder than average to get customers right now and doing some things like customer service in a radically atypical way would be a smart decision.
You is doing it wrong. This game is not about chords, it's about tempo.
It happens without obtaining consent. Notice is not consent. It's nonconsensual.

The example I provide: imagine if you put up a sign at the entrance to a party that said "by entering this party, you are going to be groped".

Telling someone you are about to violate consent is not the same as getting affirmative consent. Equating them is dishonest.
Yes, you should expect some frustration, especially if you want to configure things your way.

The least painful pipeline should be the following (only follow the instructions at the pages I am listing, as otherwise things may get too confusing):

1) Install lean as a VS Code extension lean4 following : https://leanprover.github.io/lean4/doc/quickstart.html

2) Read about using the build system `lake` here : https://leanprover.github.io/lean4/doc/setup.html

3) Note that this does not install mathlib4; leave that for later.

4) Start playing around with basic examples in VS Code by reading the beginning sections of https://leanprover.github.io/functional_programming_in_lean/...

5) If something does not work on break, ask in the Zulip chat; the devs are gathering pain points to improve tooling every day.

If this seems too painful, indeed you may want to wait a bit for the tooling to improve.

> Researchers cannot say specifically how the people of Pingliangtai organized and divided the labor among themselves to build and maintain this type of infrastructure. This kind of communal coordination would also have been necessary to build the earthen walls and moat surrounding the village as well.

So how can the authors assume there was no government or central planning? There was clearly some kind of planning! Otherwise, the network of pipes would have been inconsistent.

Clearly this society had different values and priorities that many of the societies that we live in!

I think the lesson should be that we don't need win-lose economics to handle critical infrastructure.

Aside: The Inca had a "command economy" that operated in a very similar manner to communism. They had no poor people. Hunger (as far as we know) didn't exist. But the society fell very quickly when the Spanish arrived.
> You can train a small llm on your private data to map the user question to tables in your db.

Windows UAC works just fine now. It's not like it was in Windows Vista where a lot of people just ran as administrator all of the time.

It's funny because I've yet to have had Cloudflare get in the way of an automation project but it bugs me all the time as an ordinary user.

My first case of getting seriously harassed by it though was a few weeks ago when it was blocking my access to archive.today, it wasn't being decent and telling me to buzz off, instead I was in an endless loop of "click on the traffic lights", "click on the motorcycles", ... I think it's because I have been using it a lot because my RSS reader automatically rewrites many URLs to go there.

Using the Tor browser I got different results depending on the exit node, sometimes it would just tell me I was banned, often I'd have to fill out one or two CAPTCHAs and I could see the content.

The first movement is one of the only pieces I can play on the piano. Yes indeed, anyone can learn it! I came from a musical family, but never really put the effort into learning the piano.

I'm not sure where I heard this, but Beethoven wrote this for one of his students that he was in love with. The first movement was purposefully written for a newcomer to be able to play--such as for whom he admired, but the third movement was a representation of his anger over being rejected, and is one of the hardest piano pieces to play.
>I'm curious, how often does that break things?

Pretty much never. They hide it by changing it. This results in a margin around your view port that is fitted to one of several common dimensions. Since they are common, nearly all websites look okay in it.

Affirm that you believe in and will comply with our religion. That's bold. Is that even something explicitly religious colleges do? "Sign here to affirm your belief and work in Catholicism"?

Exactly.
The offline analogy is in the old mafia busting days.
Let's say there was a bar with dozens or 100s of people regularly in it, and it was well known that mafia and mafia associates frequented it to discuss mafia activity.

If a cop were to gain entry, or have a paid informant gain entry, whether by paying a cover, or bluffing association with a regular, that seems well within the law.

This is not someones house, or your bedroom, or the cops picking a lock & busting down a door. Social media is just an online "third place". It is not work, it is not your home, it is not private.. it is public square, even if you mark yourself "private" and only accept 200 followers instead of 300.

Sure, I just feel bad when people post things and they get no comments and feel compelled to post something. I will stop. Could you give an example of the flamebait though? I am honestly confused about that.
1) People are actually a bit resistant to "Low-quality and misleading information". We can see people generally turning to higher quality sources than have previously been available which is why everything is getting fragmented. It is becoming impossible to maintain the fake illusion of consensus by the corporate media; the opposing voices are just too persistent and - in an uncomfortable number of cases - too reasonable no matter how much muck gets slung at them.

2) Special award for having a freely available 5,000 word pure-text article and being unable to display it without Javascript and 300kB of downloads.

iMessage passes through their servers so I would not be surprised if they look for anomalous senders or whatever other metadata isn’t encrypted, and they can correlate that with things like crash dumps or potentially other unusual activity by the recipient.
Don't be coy. Your use of words like "market", "features" or "customers" made it pretty clear what you meant by "product".

> I'm also not the target audience for the LHC or James Webb but effort has been made to describe it.

And there is an effort to describe Lean on their webpage. But I would be curious to know if you would be able to recall the "elevator pitch" you heard for the LHC that doesn't grossly gloss over any kind of relevant actual information. "Customers were dissatisfied because previous colliders were too small, so we made a bigger one. This allows us to hurl particles very fast at each other." Huzzah, you've just been elevator pitched. Do you actually know anything significant about the LHC after that pitch? I sincerely doubt it.

You're also glossing over the fact that the LHC was started in 1998. The James Webb telescope has been in the works since the 90's. Meanwhile, Lean started as a research project in 2013, and Lean 4 is only 1.5 years old. Being angry that scientists have been developing the fundamentals before engaging in outreach is misguided at best.
Assuming not, I would like to read those documents myself. Haven't you seen a news story where the interpretation of the original source documentation is misleading, incomplete, or even worse incorrect. Happens.All.The.Time.
Be careful. As a generalist (non-scientific) writer, I've had a few AI flagged text things (sentences and paragraphs). It was only when I showed the editor that my text had not changed since writing the flagged parts in going back to 2014 and 2016 that they said, "hmm, a false positive".

This normally happened when I context switched from dialog driven storytelling to long blocks of narrative storytelling. So, people should take each problem as a unique problem and not a systemic problem rampant through the system. Also AI check tools are different with differnt thresholds.

To me it feels like AI is part boogeyman too, "What are we going to do with this?! It's clearly our Y2K-borg-Napster-assimilation-with-VHS-and-CDs moment."

I will close by saying, if you are not augmenting your life with AI, you're only hurting yourself. I can guarantee you that your competition is doing this, (both as individuals and for their teams using Midjourney, Grammarly, ChatGPT, etc). I should also qualify that I don't take the hardline ethical stance on AI things (clearly). Some people do. I don't know what do with hardliners, it's damn hard to have a conversation these days.
