It will gain you:

* The ability to use the end-to-end encryption identity & verification from your normal Matrix account, by piggybacking on the 'host' matrix client. Whereas call.element.io is not remotely designed (at all) to work with your normal Matrix account, and doesn't have any of the E2EE UI hooked up, and instead relies on a shared secret to access E2EE rooms

* The ability to place VoIP calls inside existing Matrix rooms from your normal Matrix account.

* The ability to reliably background the app & lock the phone when on a call.

* The ability to receive inbound calls via push notifications and CallKit/ConnectionService - i.e. presenting the calls in the native dialer UI of the phone, and treating Element X like a VoIP dialer.

You get the same beautiful UI whether you use call.element.io directly or embed it inside another Matrix client like Element X :P
This is pretty much what Web components is
Why is this shocking? Evolution itself is a learning system
An excellent idea. We could work out a standardized format and build wikis around them. We should come up with a name too. I think "patterns" would be good.
I ask DALLE-3 to generate a Pepe but each time I tell it to make it “more rare.”
It did occur to me that improving the audio might be a good final exam. Better suited to a DSP class than an ML class, though.

The trouble here is that context is expensive. You have to not only look at what the rule purports to do but also what it actually does in practice, including the second and third order effects.

But the people who have time for that are the incumbents, so you end up with rules that on their face are supposed to help the little guy and in actual fact do quite the opposite.

Here's an example. It's a common trope that consumption taxes hurt the poor because they spend a higher proportion of their income so we need to use income tax. But if you look at the numbers, the upper middle class spends the large majority of their income too. You don't get to people who only spend a small fraction of their income until you're into the investment class -- and those people don't pay income tax either. Partially because of transfer pricing and things like that, but at root because they reinvest whatever they don't spend and business expenses are tax deductible. So the claim is BS.

Meanwhile the huge advantage of a consumption tax is that it's hard to avoid. What rich people actually do when there is an income tax is minimize their "income" and buy on credit, which in many cases lowers their taxable income even more if the interest is tax deductible. Whereas with a consumption tax, if you want that yacht you're paying the tax whether you took out a loan for it or not.

So the powerful put out this propaganda that the tax they would actually have to pay is the one that hurts the poor and the one they have many ways to avoid is the one we need to use. But ordinary people aren't all that familiar with how rich people accounting works, so they buy that theory and fight against a change that could shift more of the tax burden from the middle class to the rich. There are also a bunch of things about how the income tax on capital gains benefits not only rich investors but huge conglomerates, on and on.

So unless you have some way to counter this information asymmetry -- and as yet this appears to be an unsolved problem -- the default presumption has to be that a given regulation is inefficient or corrupt. Because most of them are.
Maybe iCloud should be regulated as a utility by the government and held to a higher standard... but it isn't. Plan accordingly.
It happens. Some people don’t take cues and will continue to talk to you forever.
I was surprised by how the model is able so well to resemble the figure of Pepe without overfitting.

Edit: I cannot change the URL anymore so if someone does not have Twitter: https://nitter.perennialte.ch/willdepue/status/1705677997150... (also no, I'm not the author of the tweet if there were doubts about it)
Yup, we're doing our best to nail it this time - and there's a lot of UX design chops involved. Hopefully the Ignition release of Element X shows that we've headed in the right direction at last :)
When this started happening I thought it was bog-standard enshittification. They can't sustain user-base growth so they turn to squeezing existing users as a source of revenue.
Community Forums Built for Quality
Hey HN - sorry for the amateur website. We had recently started building towards the idea when a friend notified me that a couple discussions around this subject of community forums vs Discord happened here so I figured I would jump in and put this out here while it is top of mind.

Discord now has a stronghold on community platforms. The reason it is valued are two-fold:
- Quick and easy to spin up
- Pushes for noise and activity rather than benefit or knowledge (which companies who wanna boast numbers value)

We would like to bring back the good old fashioned community forums with a couple twists:
- As much spam-free as possible through AI flagging (used to be a problem)
- Chat baked inside (chatrooms being optional under discussions)
- Multi-tenant authentication (one registration will be enough to join other community forum instances)

We are looking to talk to more people and would love to hear critique about this. All feedback is super welcome.
The Unforeseen LSD Overdose of 1972
The replies to this comment illustrated it well, but yes, I would agree in general. It just gets tiring when you have to go do something to have a simple conversation.

i.e, random convos in bars here are not a thing - or at least not comparable to e.g the east coast of America.
These two things, game devs watching streamers and game companies engaging with streamers are largely orthogonal. The latter is to appeal to the streamers general audience as they are influential. It is however excellent that these two have game developers backs.

From the perspective of understanding and reacting to this the OP is correct that streamers aren’t really driving this.
My personal favorite line from the film:

According to your own link file names in iCloud Drive are E2EE.
Agreed. Surprised this is not top comment. While the subject matter provides so much to explore, the article lazily grows scope to find "arguments" but fails to be clear.
Maybe the aggregate, in their unwillingness to act in favor of good/love/empathy/truth - of virtue - is being doled out their own karmic rash by the frequency of misdeeds. Inaction is just as culpable as inaction - failing to hold corporations, politicians, bullies to account breaks the accords on which civilization was founded, and with the heaving of that foundation is it any wonder more and more people are turning to increasingly extreme methods? And as this all is broken asunder is it any wonder that people think these systems are the problem - and who is to say they aren't? So it should come as no shock when someone who is antithetical to these broken norms is allowed success.

I've watched a lot of people who make precarious moral decisions slide into various modes of turmoil over time. And I'm not exclusion. Just because it isn't evident on the face doesn't mean it isn't working.
Now all they have to do is engineer goats to produce this silk from their nipples.
I wanted something similar so I made myself a list in the Reminders app. I recommend doing it, it’s made keeping up with friends who moved to another country easier.
Thank you so much for clarifying that! It makes sense now. I just wonder if folks are required to use at least one of those services in order for Unity to have at least some kind of information regarding titles sold or something like that.
It's for the community discussion.

I recognize your username from your frequent posts complaining about leetcode.

No offense, but what exactly are you hoping to accomplish? Because this certainly can’t be a productive use of your time and seems quite unhealthy for your psyche.
> No one is friendly in urban areas

Yes, this is mostly an urban/rural divide. I've lived in several small New England towns where people talk to each other in public all the time.

But I've also lived in Boston. And I've learned that if a stranger strikes up a conversation in Boston, there are two possibilities:

1. They need directions or emergency aid.

2. Or they have absolutely no grasp of appropriate social norms, and I am about to have a deeply weird conversation. At best.

In theory, I am perfectly happy to speak with strangers on the subway. In practice, I do not wish to hear about how lizard people rule the world.

Lame excuse. Try at least.
My friend studies ants. I will share this with him
I agree but with a caveat. My original comment (the parent on this thread) was about supply. Ideally moderate interest rates are not a problem, but when you get there by aggressively hiking the rates after a decade of low rates, it becomes a problem. Mostly because anyone who didn’t benefit from the environment (90+% of the population), will have a hard time catching up even with moderate rates.
When you approach a random person on the street, they should assume you are that 1 in 100.
Can you make your point less obliquely, please?
All good.

Thing is, power users are a vocal minority in his industry. People like our families are the majority, and I don't want them to have to deal with quirks or troubles, but I also don't want an oligopoly controlling the space and compromising innovation, privacy, etc. in the name of "convenience" (profit).
Startling number of people who either don't know how to or reject on principle actually cooking food (as opposed to merely reheating it) in their microwave, too.

And a few classist remarks and at least one usage of "white trash".
Talking about psylocybin in terms of a daily dose is misguided in my opinion. It's not really something you would want.

I really look forward to more studies exploring use of psylocybin.
What country do you live in where those numbers are realistic?
two of my family members are chemists at usda. they dont eat fruit or produce except the kind you can peel like oranges and bananas. plants are covered in feces, worms, pesticides and you cant sit there with a toothbrush scrubbing it all off. a quick rinse isnt going to do shit. especially for the pesticides. also its become clear that most plants arent good for your health even when they arent covered in terrible shit.

You can string tools together in code as well, and have an LLM reinterpret the final results in text if you want. There’s the middle bit when you ask the Agent to reason that works better if you just ask it to write code and give it functions to call instead of tools.
In my experience with FIPS certification usually requires some changes that undermine security.

If you need it, then you need it, but having the certification is a mildly bad sign in my opinion.

I’m not the only one with this opinion. For instance, the Microsoft Windows team seems to agree:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-security-ba...
It's not like the audience expects a performer to perform just one or two hits, and no artist is entitled to demand his audience values his other work as highly as he does: acclaim has to be earned. Being condescending to the audience just looks even more entitled.
I suppose that begs the question, what if we trained an LLM only on examples of formal languages?
The flowers are coming people, we are doomed! I asked myself this every time I read a headline about climate change: When will be that staunchest climate activist just get bored out of their fucking mind with climate alarmism 24/7.

If only people would care about a 100th as much about real toxins in the air, in the food and water supply ... but instead they treat what plants breathe as a toxin and obsess over it to an utterly insane level.

I really do not really give a fuck if this is true or not, but one thought I have is that plants also adapt and maybe, just MAYBE this species of flowers actually can grow in colder temperatures now, if its even true that they are measurable more.

"Experts say" has become such a meaningless phrase for me.
Alternatively, you can speak their language so to speak, and request a refund/issue a chargeback. Sometimes that's the only way they'll understand
At the moment, I think the program just crashes if there's no match in the DB. It should be impossible for the initial lookup to fail because the DB has a row for every possible CMYK color but in the second lookup has crashed the program because for example it'll narrow the options down to 10 colors and I'll ask it to select 11 colors. I have actually done something similar before for testing purposes and the program just crashed.

Also, everything is on my computer at work but I can share everything when I go back on Monday (in 31 hours), the code, the DB, some sample images it made.

Because I work in a textile mill we make colors by printing images on paper with a CMYK process and then we use heat to sublimate the ink off of the paper onto the textile. In this process there are so many variables affecting the color of the ink that it's basically a black box where CMYK numbers go in and very often the wrong color comes out. The only way to match colors is to pick a lot of them, and see which one is the most accurate after transfer and use that one. The process of picking those colors is what I'm working on.
Yeah, because that would mean someone is subsidizing it.
Fuse Them – Merge People
I built Fuse Them to allow people to combine two different persons in a single picture. It works by taking two person’s pictures, names and descriptions and merging them together to create a new image. It’s a cool way to create a new fictional character based on people you know
Their careers mostly didn’t overlap. There were a few years, but Houdini was earlier.

Even given that, I’d say yes.

The thing about Houdini was not just that he was famous M, but he really didn’t have any competition.

Chaplin, even at the height of his fame, there were others that weren’t far behind (Buster Keaton, say)

The difference between the two sides is that one is correct and the other is not, and that what "normal" (uninformed lay) people think is not really relevant.

Interesting! My info is way out of date then. Thanks for the link.
True, but what counts is to make it ubiquitous and a profitable business.
> I don't know if I'm in an algorithmic rabbit hole, but my Twitter shows hundreds of people like this talking about how much they are making, how many signups they are getting for their products, how many Twitter followers they have.

I’ve followed a lot of them. Maybe 100 at one point?

I love watching people build little businesses, iterate, and find success. It was really cool to see them all working on their various things, celebrating the little wins, and sharing things they learned along the way.

But to be honest, I’ve gradually unfollowed most of them. Many of them got a little too into the self-promotion angle and their content became repetitive “follow me for more content like this” bits. It felt like half of them were repeating same variations of the popular topic of the week every week, because they were! When threads were the thing to do I’d see the same topic rehashed to death in thread form for about 2 weeks by different people until
they all moved on to the next topic.

Another chunk of them slowly pivoted from their own business to selling courses, educational materials, or “pay $499 to access my private community of builders” deals. I hit the unfollow button as soon as they pivot to this stuff.

There are a few that I still follow, but if I’m being honest I don’t know that I’ve learned a whole lot. The most successful ones always have their business success wrapped up largely in their giant social media followings, which turns into a game of how well they can market to their audience without being off putting. The most famous example is the levels.io guy, who is by all means an honest and great guy but nevertheless appears to be making businesses that spread by word-of-Twitter because he has such an audience. Nothing wrong with that, really, but after watching it for a few years you realize that it’s not repeatable unless you can play the Twitter game successfully at massive scale, which is what a lot of these influencers and up trying with mixed success.
It just sits a bit bitter when you used to look at him as an unconventional man who employed the scientific process of deduction to solve his cases.... only for you to later realise that he was applying abductive reasoning the whole time, whilst claiming otherwise and chasing down any lead like a mad dog. Holmes wasn't smart, just driven.

I didn't say barter was illegitimate, I said it was symmetric. There are salient differences between barter transactions and currency transactions even from a purely economic perspective. It has nothing to do with morality or polemics. There is a reason money is a thing.
So hire some designated middleman to wear a villain mustache and claim to be taking a huge cut on paper while actually giving all of the money back to the artist under NDA.
As a developer poisoned by Demoscene, I'm very aware of memory usage of the things I develop, but I'm aware that I'm in the minority here.

Most developers and companies want to minimize development time and sweat. Instead, they want to push their MVP out of the door and iterate quickly. This results in tons of imported libraries for single functions, unoptimized code, cruft and bloat, which I really don't like. However, even if all the things are optimized reasonably well, my point stands, because running things add up.

Currently, besides two browsers (Firefox and Safari), I have Microsoft Excel, Obsidian, Spotify, Terminal, Apple Mail, Dropbox, Nextcloud, TextExpander, Viscosity and Amphetamine open. Currently 13,43GB of RAM is used alongside ~700MB of swap. Most of this is consumed by my Firefox tabs and WindowServer on macOS.
> Unity would now prefer you give them the information yourself.

I’m sure they’d prefer to capture the data themselves, but they’re now allowing you to self report in order to placate the outrage from the recent announcements.
I remember that one and thought she had quite a neutral view on it.

The only concern she mentioned was a statistical point of a few more girls potentially being / having a little bit too much rogd.
I knew a woman who in 1970 was pulled over by the police in Altadena CA. They were particularly aggressive when it came to "hippies" and so she swallowed her entire cargo of LSD, which was, iirc, somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 hits.

She was out of commission for roughly 72 hours and months later still not back to normal, according to what she told me.
How Not to Fly a Plane: The 2017 Teterboro Learjet Crash
I agree with what you say, but the blog post you linked is hugely misleading. (remember, it's the OSI blog, of course they are going to twist it for their goals) The court did not affirm that "calling your non-OSI-approved licence open source is false advertising".

As in the judgement:
"It is undisputed that Defendants made the statements at issue to convince customers to adopt ONgDB over Neo4j EE. Because Defendants misrepresented ONgDB as a free version of Neo4j EE licensed under the APGL, there is no doubt that this price differential (free versus paid) was likely to influence customers purchasing decisions. See Hinojos v. Kohl’s Corp., 718 F.3d 1098, 1106–1107 (9th Cir. 2013), as amended on denial of reh’g and reh’g en banc (July 8, 2013) (recognizing under the UCL that price is material to purchasing decisions). Thus, the Court finds that Defendants’ statements suggesting that customers could obtain a “free and open source drop in replacement” for Neo4j EE were material."

What the court did affirm is that the upstream licence was a modified AGPL with additional restrictions. The defendant has stripped those restrictions (claiming the AGPL "you may remove" clause allowed them to) and distributed the product as "free and open source". This was false advertising as they were not capable of stripping the Commons Clause and the copyright identification.

Notably, this does not mean that it's false advertising to claim your software is "open source" when it is not OSI-approved, it means that if you offer a modified version of a piece of software, you can't advertise it as "free and open source" when the forked version is still bound by the Commons Clause prohibiting selling it in any way.
That is completely made up example - I’ve been to events that do this and you’re typically allowed to purchase 2-4 tickets per id
And yet so many of these corporate giants seem to be embracing Rust. Think they've all got it wrong? They just didn't try hard enough with C and C++?
I honestly don't understand what you mean by "without having to change my IDE ...".

Because that's exactly it -- you set your IDE to make tabs the width that is easy to read for you. I do the same. We both get readable-to-us code without imposing our visual preference on each other.

I don't understand the downside of this approach. Am I just missing something obvious? Honestly asking.
I’m not going to speak on how this could be hard to implement in other countries, but in my country selling a ticket above the price it was bought for is illegal, and as a result (maybe there is other factors in in play but) it’s basically a non-issue here
