It’s so ridiculous that economists, policymakers and even the fed is so out of touch with the reality of the market. The housing market highs are a result of less supply and not high demand. 90% of mortgages are locked in under 3% rates which ensures the lack of supply will continue in this high interest market, and in some sense even make it worse. A very low percentage of people will be so stretched with student payments that they’d give up on homes. If anything all sectors except housing market will take a bigger hit as housing takes priority over everything else.
If you are from very polarised place then just about everyone is called crazy because opinions are approaching boolean type.
Hm, any details on that "VNC" functionality? Is it iPad only, or iOS too? Was the approval request a system pop up? Did it open a named application? Did you see what they did on the screen when they were on it? Has this been written about anywhere?
Personally, the cameras would dissuade me from fighting the bully back or fighting for someone else under the threat of punishment. Bullying in school and the “real world” could be solved by reporting to an authority, but real character development comes from learning to confront one’s aggressor.

In the wild, most of the glass food storage containers that I see have silicone lids, not plastic lids.

In any case, the problem here is when food comes into contact with plastic, which is not happening regularly with lids unless you store your food upside-down.
Text editing on a phone is so god damn fucking bad, I've contemplated ditching smartphones for flip phones.

I'm glad to see someone else acknowledge this. I get "ok boomer" responses, or people looking at me like I'm growing a second face on my ass. Reactions are even worse than when you mention how shitty Word is as a text editor or word processor.
Thanks for the link. I've been reading Leslie Lamport's TLA works this year coincidentally, but never stumbled upon this one. His structured proofs would turn into a paperproof-style tree if he turned his 3.1.1.1. numbers into a tree, it's pretty close to paperproof conceptually.

I don't know of any software that allows for manual writing of such proofs yet, I'm drawing proof trees on paper at the moment.
I would like paperproof to allow for this eventually. We want to enable ml-generation of tactics with ReProver, which will require the interface for the manual creation of goals and hypotheses. Hopefully after that it will be more clear what fully-manually-written proof interface could look like.

My method for figuring it out:

2. Before/After 2000? (depending on previous answer)

3. Is the AI evil?

4. Is it animated?

I was under the impression that striking actors concerns with AI were over AI reproducing their likenesses, but this article is claiming that the fears would also consider non-specific (non-imitation, non-likeness, ?) generated voices a threat. The former is at least what I've read as far as union demands go.

Actors demanding a cut of revenue generated with their likeness I can understand, but trying to stop all AI-gen content, even that which does not imitate a real person and was trained on ethically sourced, non-SAG data, smells like business-model protectionism or even luddism.
Seeing as the license is derived from VVVVV's I was interested in comparing comments so far to a similar one there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22011655

I very much enjoy Melos and Marina's games. "Anodyne 2" is a must play to anyone who loved the Zelda series as it's a mishmash of 3D N64 gameplay with over the head 2D dungeoning. It has such uniqueness and strangeness that I still remember it years later.

"Even the Ocean" was also memorable to me. It is not the masterpiece A2 was IMO but the issues held weight. And having an unconventional protagonist in terms of body type, ethnicity, and sexual orientation was so novel at the time to me.

Thanks for opening the source code! I know HN members will be super critical as to "Oh this isn't Open Source" but you have the licenses available for review and that's where it really matters. The fact that the code is out there for review is a huge step and I hope more devs do it as it's a form of historical preservation in my eyes.
fastdebug is a good tip, thanks for sharing!
> malicious ads, which are not designed to sell a product or service. Instead, they are designed to infect your device. From which they can collect/extract data about you.

At this point we can only assume that every ad is malicious. It doesn't matter if they are designed to sell a product or service. They'll still collect/extract data about you at every opportunity.

At best, they're attempts to manipulate us. That might mean making us feel insecure about ourselves or our lifestyle so that they can trick is into giving them money. It might mean outright lying to us and feeding our fears to push us to support a certain politician or law. It might be promoting outright scams.

Surveillance advertising needs to die. Paying people to view ads alone won't remove the harms advertising can cause, but at least it's a "pull" vs "push" model which I approve of since it can be safely ignored by anyone unwilling to subject themselves to manipulation and exploitation.

You should consider a strict code of conduct for what types of ads you will/won't allow on your platform to keep the worst of it away. Fact-checking and vetting takes time and money, but it would keep your service from being used to spread disinformation and scams and could help prevent some of the harms.
The fundamentals of housing I think are still a ways away from a crash. There might be selective markets that cool off or drop. I'd also say Canada is closer to a crash than the US is.

But I wanted to mention 2 hacks for legally avoiding crippling student loan debt repayments, possibly forever.

1. Move overseas permanently. This requires you to be on an IDR (Income Driven Repayments) plan, which you have to apply for. I'm not an expert in this but I believe that public student debt will allow this but private student debt may not. Side note: never refinance your debt privately with the likes of SoFi. You lose a lot of the protections you might otherwise have.

How does this work? Through the Foreign Income Tax Credit ("FITC"). US citizens living overseas still have to file annual US tax returns, something only the citizens of the US and Eretria have to do. The FITC, if you claim it, exempts the first ~$110K of income from US taxes. Why does this matter? Because if your income is below that, your Adjusted Gross Income ("AGI") goes to $0 and your IDR payments also go to $0.

After living overseas for 20-25 years you can get your debt forgiven. This creates a taxable event for your loan balance but inflation will reduce the real value of that and you have 20-25 years to prepare by, for example, putting money away every month since you're not paying student loan interest over that entire period.

If you are a college graduate (which is likely given you have student loan debt but you may not have graduated) then you will be able to either get a work visa and eventual residency/citizenship in many other countries or you can apply directly for skilled migration.

For most developed countries you'll avoid the crippling cost of health insurance that plagues the US too; and

2. The less extreme option is to find the cheapest online community college in your state and enroll in enough credit hours in anything to qualify as a half-time student. This will probably cost you less than $1000/year. That's not nothing but it will pause repayments and stop interest accruing, so it's cheaper. Keep doing this forever.

This is mistaking the teams that design cars and most software, for the team that designs SQLite and Fossil.

Most software development shops are low quality dysfunctional politics-ridden heavily coupled messes using tools designed for a use-case that is only vaguely similar to the tasks at hand. For example: git, Jira, Confluence, GitHub...
In such an environment having one tool that does everything is a recipe for disaster: everyone knows all tools are shoddy and/or misapplied, and can only barely do their own job, they should not touch any other task.
SQLite and Fossil are in a completely different world of hard-core quality focus...
Sandboxed cloud environments for AI apps
These are fair criticisms. No matter which side of the 'capitalism is good' debate you are on this video was so bad, with errors of history and even of definition, that I was left doubting how good a scientist she actually is.
AI audiobooks also seem they’re ripe for “perfection over time” where parts are indicated where it’s not pronounced right or needs additional inflection, etc, and that can be rerendered.
That’s a matter of price.

People who currently use their old phone rather than upgrade every year very much do want their old phone.
That's not at all common sense. People that use multiple devices may want to put everything in the cloud service so as to access the same version on all devices.
177MB is acceptable for a file provider I think, but the other ~300 MB is too much for my taste, too. Dropbox is running on a custom Python interpreter with obfuscated/encrypted Python code since forever. This why it needs that much RAM.

Yes, it's borderline Electron levels of resource waste, but that thing works, and I can't complain.

While Apple can manage that 8GB of RAM relatively well, 16GB RAM is a must on any Mac which is used for serious work.
ha - yes you're right. TTS is more accurate. Though, sadly what you're describing will also be a solved problem.
And if you keep files in iCloud Drive, your iPhone can remove the local copy any time.

So if you want your files to be synced and to be 100% sure you'll have a local copy - you should keep the same file in iCloud Drive and in the "On My iPhone" folder. This is the reason Apple Books, Numbers and all the apps that use iCloud Drive remove local copies all the time.

I made a simple note-taking app using iCloud Drive - iCloud was greedily removing a 2 kb txt-file when the app was closed (sometimes it wasn't removing - it's quite random). It doesn't matter if you have a lot of storage space - iCloud still can remove the local version of a file you constantly use.

The Apple developer support said nothing can be done. Even for a developer there is no way to mark a file as never to be removed.

P.S. In their official docs Apple actually recommends to keep all the user's files in iCloud Drive and _not_ to keep a copy "On My iPhone"
Ah yes. Canned mash up of an average of past human creation. Progress over actually creating.
I did this but a nerd sniped myself. I had out addresses like {name}-{hmac}@me.example. These addresses then bypass the spam filter and if they start spamming me I block them.

The problem is that I still need a general address for my website, resume, HN profile, Git author info... So I still accept mail to a handful of publicly available addresses. However it does let me play with the spam rules a bit more. Signed: auto-accept, known address: moderate spam filter, unknown address: heavy spam filter.

How often do sales tax/VAT change in the rest of the world?

I know it isn't often in Europe because I maintain the VAT tables at work for our Europe sales so have to deal with updating when it changes. We sell in 28 countries there, each with its own independent VAT, and since 2015 there have only been around 8 changes among all 28.

Also in Europe VAT is per country.

In the US sales tax at a given location is the sum of state sales tax, county sales tax, city sales tax, and possibly even special tax district sales taxes.

The state rate usually doesn't change often, although it isn't as stable as Europe VAT rates. County and city rates aren't as stable, and there usually isn't coordination between the changes so if the state, county, and city are all going to raise rates in the next year they could easily end up each doing so in a different quarter.

The literal minded of you perhaps were not there when Google arrived at the scene. And as you admit: you don't really know if there is a difference. Yet hearing about others that perceive difference makes you very tired.

I was there. We used Altavista and Yahoo and they rocked. Until we tried Google.
No it won’t. Any dip in price that occurs won’t be big enough to be a “hit”, and it certainly won’t be because of student loans of all things. It’s just the ebb and flow of the market.
At IKEA the lids cost 50% of a container + lid; inexpensive compared to the cost of a new plastic container. I bought steel containers 20 years ago and they are still going strong expensive and better value.
This is more an idea around presenting than acting, but I wasn't talking about being a buffoon, as such, but using more energy to overcome the limitations of the medium and to, ironically, appear more "normal" on screen.

If you watch a lot of popular YouTubers' early vs later videos, you can see it in effect. It's common to see radical developments in elocution, projection, and energy from their natural state, and it's nearly always for the better.

This ship has sailed and worrying about AI copying a particular actor or voice of a professional actor is virtually meaningless long term.

AI will enable the creation of voices and people who never were and even the corpus of people used to train the AI wont need to include actors.

If you read books out loud or are an extra you don't and honestly shouldn't expect an income from it and this problem stands to get worse not better.

These is little political will to implement UBI so best get to learning a new profession whilst audio books transition to tools produce dozens of professional virtual voice actors for 19.99 or free if you dont mind user unfriendly open source you have to set up yourself.
It's also a good reason to block javascript. Most browser exploits (even fingerprinting) depend on JS being enabled. Disable it by default, and you're much much safer.

iCloud isn't a "network share", it's a cloud-synced folder with attached services. And copying files to either isn't "backups."

You don't actively collaborate on anything with anyone?

You've never worked at an org where the network shares are snapshotted and backed up, but desktops aren't?
I agree with you but we seem old men screaming at the clouds.

Let's meet halfway: use rclone sync to get the cloud up to date with your local data.

And, when out of alpha, you can also use rclone bisync.

Also, the article A Rape in Cyberspace is about something that happened in LambdaMoo, and is one of the most famous articles ever written about the Internet:

It looks like it's been submitted to HN several times, but has never gotten many upvotes.
Bit silly as a publicity stunt, I'd think. But presumably that photo was taken after her car had been recovered, because the incident report describes it being piled nose-first into undergrowth not evident here. That suggests the accident started with a loss of control - which, at night on an unlit road in a century-old deathtrap like that one, wouldn't just be easy to do but likely quite hard to avoid.

I've been in enough car wrecks, and those in modern cars, for it to strike me as arrantly foolish no one ever seems to consider the possibility she got her bell rung. Even an airbag will do that sometimes - I've had two of those go off in my face, and one of them did exactly that; it's more than anything else like taking a hard, well-aimed punch, and even if it does save you ending up with much worse, you still are liable not to be thinking right for a while after. And that's with a hundred years of safety engineering! Christie's car wouldn't even have had seatbelts or safety glass - it's got to be at least half a miracle she made it out alive.

* Make it easy to keep track of what I've been discussing with a person, and the last time we communicated. Set reminders for following up.

* Allow me to enrich information -- people, events -- with metadata such as tags, and query them with a conversational interface.

* Integrate with all my communication tools. Maybe create a plug-in system so users can help out.

> Then the third sentence in the text says "1793-05". The audio was "1793 to 2005". Actually it was 1793 to 1805.

Bit of a tangent here but did you get 1805 from context or is YYYY-YY a common year range notation that I'm not aware of? Because I would never guess 1793-05 meant 1793-1805 either.
Nearly perfect, or even “usable” audiobooks of anything I have in text form is desirable to me, at least.

iCloud Drive is on the local disk — in ~/Library/Containers. It is then synced to/from the cloud.

Your point remains, but for cloud sync, though.
