> The burden is on the person operating 2 tons of machinery in a way that can kill someone

Everybody needs to pay attention.

I usually bike, I try to be very careful and never had an accident, and I will be extra careful if I see pedestrians around, but pedestrians often increase danger and risks a lot when they just walk on my bike line though they have a dedicated area on the pavement, or cross it carelessly. I have some inertia, if I judge the pedestrian is not going to cross but they actually decide to cross at the last moment without noticing me, it's going to be an issue.

Just like when I'm pedestrian and bikes or cars don't bother to let me cross or don't notice me.

We need everybody to pay attention because if one happens to make a mistake, the worst will likely be avoided by the others. I'm grateful to the pedestrians or vehicles who paid attention the times I screwed up.

> how come [...]

Maybe UK drivers are more careful by virtue of jaywalking being expected. Or maybe UK and pedestrians are both more generally careful because of the culture. Or maybe UK cars and roads are just safer than in the US.

My point is not that jaywalking should be illegal. I actually wish it were legal in my area (nobody is punished for jaywalking here already). There's no point in crossing at a specific location or in waiting for some light to become green if it's already safe to cross because it's certain that nobody is going to cross your path at this moment. It's just plain boring and useless. Just that you need to be careful, and I would prefer someone who dangerously crosses the road to get a warning.

Now, we fundamentally agree:

> Perhaps the problem is the culture which puts cars above people.

Yes, and it's happening right now for some streets in my city. I wish this would be extended further. I would go to the extra length of saying that I want (most) cars to get out of the cities. I went to Winterthur, cars don't seem banned but people actually don't use the car inside the city. Pedestrian walk on the roads no problem. Less pollution and noise. What a breeze!
I get that it's hard, but not why it's fundamentally harder than beating a grandmaster at chess.

My opinion is throwing people in prison and confiscating their stuff is wrong unless they’ve violated someone’s person or property. Drugs can be legal as long as crimes committed under the influence of drugs are properly punished.

For a few years my friends and I played chess in various pubs almost weekly and we never had any complaints at all.
Actual headline: mentions NSO group and nothing about Apple.

Top comment (+50 comments): Why do we talk about Apple so much and so little about NSO group.

The absurdly pro-Apple PR on HN is tough to bear. I have to say it's so overt it made me more hostile to Apple (NSO is obviously a worthy topic, but we do discuss it).
If they want to show that the infrastructure did not involve central planning, they should search for hacks. Stuff that is not centrally planned always ends up with hack where engineer A's domain meets engineer B's.
haaha ... because both of these OSes were created at the exact same time? Sure, if I were 18-19 now and making my own choices, maybe that'd be different.

Most of these decisions these days are made by parents buying their kids their first phone. They aren't made by adults for themselves. By the time they become an adult, they've probably heavily invested in whatever ecosystem they grew up in.

FWIW, I'm not an Apple Fan. I'm just stuck with it.
Critics are idiots. These aggregator sites dilute and remove their power and give it to the aggregator site. Critics should ban these aggregator sites alltogether so they could not quote/use their reviews. Critics already had their GPT moment, but they didn't notice it.
I love how tapping an irregular rhythm (eg xx-xx-x-) gives Beethoven a progressive metal vibe.
Ah I misremembered. I was actually trying to do this

x = [yield a for a in b]

Which yields (heh) an `Invalid Syntax` error. Thanks for the link to that PEP though - turns out the answer is that you almost always have to parenthesise it.

x = [(yield a) for a in b]

> SyntaxError: yield inside list comprehension

Ok my original point stands.
The older one? Probably but I think the way it combined multiple overflows would have required a fairly advanced fuzzer, especially to look exploitable. The main point I had was that while fuzzing would have found interesting ways to crash ImageIO with PDFs, most people wouldn’t have expected that to be reachable without a click from iMessage. The relevant teams could have been rewriting everything they care about in Rust and this still would have happened because it was an obsolete usage of a format they don’t even use but which could be pulled in by the old GIF preview path.

I agree that most Lockdown mode features won’t be pulled in but looking at that list, note how many stop a NSO zero-click by adding a “have you ever interacted with this person?” filter to iMessage, FaceTime, HomeKit, etc. That makes me wonder whether a more polished UI might be acceptable to normal users where new numbers are basically text-only with warnings.
If you take a moment to research you'll see that Qualcomm absolutely does not give two craps about software support for their SoC/SoMs. Like, none. They throw out a binary turd and that's that. Androids history of (lacking) updates is littered with them refusing to do anything but release a binary blob that works on a few kernels.

There's no need to make up some wild conspiracy theories with Windows here, spend a single Google search before going into this direction next time.

>The interest for Asahi Linux should prove that there is a sizeable market for Linux on ARM

Interest for Asahi only proves there's interest for Linux on Apple devices, because they're already so popular and numerous, bought by millions of users first and foremost to run MacOS, not Linux.

There's zero interest for non-Apple ARM laptops because, unlike Macbooks, they have no market share. Nobody's gonna spend hundreds of hours reverse engineering GPU drivers for an ARM laptop that only 20 people on the planet bought, and in half of those cases it's sitting gathering dust.

Like I said, chicken and egg problem. There's not gonna be a massive upsell of ARM laptops if the equivalent SW ecosystem of Apple isn't there to move the HW off the shelves.

Anecdotally I saw many people playing Chinese chess on streets all around China but I never saw anybody playing Go/Weiqi. I saw people playing Mahjong and games of cards (long thin cards.)

I don't know which game of chess is popular in Korea, western or Chinese ones? Or is there a Korean variant? About the popularity of Go/Baduk there I was told that it was because of the three years of mandatory military service and the availability of go boards in the barracks.

Neither of these examples answer my question: What's the point? Perhaps FizzBuzz is a terrible example for such a language, but I don't see anything being "proved" here. Can it do something like static asserts on the output, without actually running the program? E.g. can you prove that the outputs will never be anything else than "Fizz", "Buzz" or "FizzBuzz"?
Alright, that's interesting. Thank you for your analysis, I can see you value critical inquiry and just have a particular and slightly different bent to me. Good to know. Did you by chance take a look at my conversation with the ChatGPT about this? What did you think of that? :)

I just think it might be possible that maybe it saw something in there that you didn't, and when you read it, it might enlighten you toward some value in there? I don't know--I'm just curious, and I don't want to see something that's valuable but looks weird thrown away! Haha! :)
This is neat! Does anyone know if there's much of a community of total-noob level Shogi players, as there is for chess these days?
Nice! Thank you! Honestly, I am more into graphics programming than game Dev itself. As in, I want to do all the nitty gritty math by hand!
Yeah, but there's no reason for it - if you've ever used an ARM laptop system you'll see that you're just trading usable performance (they tend to be very laggy) for not much benefit. Modern AMD/Intel mobile Ultrabook chips aren't that much more power hungry.

Maybe it depends on the country, but private companies cant generally get warrants to infringe on people's rights afaik. If justified is interpreted as 'legally justified', then it would make sense that only government agents could be justified to act in this manner. Of course, government agents are known to operate outside the law as well.

That's an amazing piece of history I was not familiar with. I have recently travelled around the area between Belarus, Czech Republic, Lithuania and Austria and their history is obviously complex and interlinked, but I only saw in the museums the history starting from around 1000 years ago... I didn't consider that much of this region, which today includes mostly slavs, had not actually been populated by slavs just a few centuries before the history I was looking at (literally) which starts more or less with the Rus, Vikings (which apparently initially ruled Kievan Rus[1], despite the region being already slav at around the time ~800AD!), Bavarians and Balts to the north (which became the Grand Duchy of Lithuania later - which for some time actually extended to now-Russian Smolensk, covering most of today's Belarus and a part of today's Russia!)

Can I add one more nice to have? Good support for graph data. I'm not 100% certain on it yet, but there's a lot of ideas surrounding storing knowledge as a graph out there and it makes a lot of intuitive sense. I haven't found a killer use case for it yet as so far I can get by just tagging things and sql querying on the tags is powerful enough.

Maybe someone could pitch in. Is knowledge really a graph (for your problem domain), or is that just some bullshit people made up when they still thought AI could be captured mathematically? It feels to me now knowledge is much more like the way vector embeddings work, it's in a cloud where things are related to each other in an analog or statistical way, not a discrete way.

But, perhaps for similar reasons, vector embeddings haven't been super useful to me in building RAG agents yet. Knowledge is either relevant or it's not, and at least for me if it's relevant it has the keywords or tags I need, and just a straight up SQL query brings it in.
The original discussion was comparing the Topics API to third party cookies.

The way that the Topics API works is that a website that could have set a third party cookie will instead be able to observe a topic, and will then be able to get that topic in the future.

I see. You could have just said that.

But bleach isn't advertised nor meant to be consumed by the human body. Weed is meant to be consumed and advertised as such. I don't think it's an apples to apples comparison. In fact, I don't think there is a comparison to weed.
Sounds like the idea is that the fake profiles are created so they can make mass "friend requests". Then, when those friend requests are accepted by some amount of your actual friends, it unlocks more access to your data. Or even more if you're fooled and accept one of the fake profiles as a friend/follower.

I guess NYPD's way around people that don't make their profiles fully public.

It would be interesting if Facebook is willing to punish/ban/etc not just the companies directly doing this, but their clients as well.
I’ve had a gmail account since their first beta. Switching to another provider (Fastmail) took about an hour to run through so my accounts and swap emails out. There was one or two that didn’t allow changing emails (steam is one) but other than that it was much easier then I assumed.

I still check the gmail account ever so often and it still receives spam. My Fastmail account is perfect even after a year.

> Capital has to compound exponentially on aggregate, because if there is no return on capital, there is no reason to make new capital, and production grinds to a halt

There is no making new capital, except when governments do it. What you're citing isn't an iron law that forces capital to compound. Investment portfolios compound on average, because smart people pick companies that are doing really useful things (i.e. things people want to pay for) to invest in. But production doesn't stop when that doesn't happen for a company. It also doesn't happen for every investor.

> Capital has power over society because society is reliant on material production. Being able to grant someone enough money that they no longer ever need to work (or merely enough for them to have a decent livelihood) is significant power over them and motivates them to do what you want. You can then use this kind of power over the media, politicians, etc..., and you can struggle to have the rules be to your benefit.

There are far more direct and bad ways to have power and grant people easy lives. Being a noble in a 14th century court, or being in the PolitBuro living the easy life while millions starve in a socialist country are far worse outcomes. Yes, politicians are bribeable (that's why putting less power into government is a good idea) and media is bribeable (that's why working hard on instilling critical thinking into their children is one of the most important duties of a parent), and it all will be far from perfect.

But - as is often the case with such discussions - comparing a system like capitalism with a perfect world that magically has no power and infinite progress is just a fantasy. In reality, rewarding people who do things we want them to do is a good idea. If Netflix has stuff I don't want to watch any more, or breaks for a month, I unsubscribe. If my local government does a terrible job for a year, I keep paying or go to prison. Which of these involves more power, and which involves continued excellent service in exchange for a reward?
I don’t think the women in most of these examples have any agency to begin with. Making it irrelevant.
Apart from the attempt to win over more cautious customers, most AI companies want this to go to court, because an established precedent in their favor will be very valuable to them (and they generally expect it will be in their favour, at least to the extent that the risk it might not is outweighed by the cost of uncertainty). You can see this in the cases related to stable diffusion where Stability AI is basically beckoning them into court despite (and probably in part because) the plaintiffs having so weak a case the judge is likely to just chuck it out before any precedent can be established.
All good points. But I think Commodore was essentially technically rudderless with the Amiga after Miner and related folks were no longer involved, so I don't think they'd really have had anything to offer on either end (game/consumer or general purpose workstation class machine.) Or even on the software front, who would have even developed the software on the latter? Like Atari, I get the sense that they just didn't have the resources to make that kind of thing happen.

Atari made moves in 90, 91 to get more serious about their OS development, hiring Eric Smith fulltime to work on MultiTOS, etc. Smart move, but too late.

The low-end Unix workstation thing was a meme that just didn't work out in practice. Both Atari (with the TT running SysV) and Commodore tried at this market and failed. There was no buyer for it. I still remember the snarky little headline on a snippet in UnixWorld about Atari's TT & Unix: "Up from toyland."

Moving sensitive data to a less secure environment is of course a mistake, but leaks happen even with locked-down production environments.

It's very unlikely anyway a software company will fix an old crashdump - the software probably moved on a lot. So if there's no specific report/problem it's attached to and it's not a sensitive area, we're better off having it deleted. Same thing for old logs.
700KB/s is embarrassingly slow! Modern computers are really fast.

That's a couple of orders of magnitude slower than a WiFi transfer. 1000x slower than SSD read speeds. TSV is possible to parse at RAM speeds — 5000x faster.

I suspect that widespread use of scripting languages, and hosting on micro instances containerized like a turducken, with disks over network, set people's expectations pretty low. You don't need a cluster of 25 machines for simple tabulation of 200GB of data.
This sort of stuff has been a thing for balancing AAA games for a very long time (it was in production over a decade ago), and is kept surprisingly secret by those doing it.

One of the shocks of the games industry is in many respects it doesn’t learn from the wider world but in others it is quietly so far ahead that you can throw certain ML papers at former game devs to be met by confused faces as to why what is claimed is considered surprising.
