In college we used to print out "one-page" ASCII art on the LPs. Naturally, it could get rather risqué. But I would just stare into them, marveling at the ingenuity. Of course I'd already been into it awhile, thanks to C64 Print Shop.

Also my father produced tonnes of scratch paper in narrow strips. I found a way to weave them into a perpetually-growing "tractor-feed snake" which I placed in a padded crib and brought to grade school to show off. I would typically juggle a few bits and bobs to attract even more attention...
I think they did this so that it’s compatible with instagram/phones. But I expect that you’ll be able to take normal videos too
That’s helpful.

Broadly speaking, as a developer you should expect that none of your users will have disabled those protections and your release plan should have notarizing as a step.

Asking users to disable system protection, or at the very least fiddle with system settings is a non-starter.
I have -- I let the OpenBSD firewalls take care of it :P

Seriously though it's something I need to get familiar with, I do still have plenty of Linux boxes that face the public Internet and are currently dependent on iptables/ip6tables rulesets. The problem is I'm currently masking that pain with Ansible.
The maintainer (not random dev) didn't "merge" the patch - they rewrote an entirely new patch. Ate you arguing OP should be credited for that work? Sure, the maintainer could have guided OP towards the same patch over multiple exchanges/days, but it is their prerogative - they have to maintain the code going forward and are not obliged to accept patches that are in rough shape (in their judgement). OP did contribute to the kernel - but not by having their code included as they had hoped.
If you are actively going through bankruptcy there are usually restrictions on payment.

You can get in trouble if your company has a lot of debts and you "pay" your uncle a million dollars for a bs job or you gives yourself a bonus.

But paying devs that built something for you in the ordinary course of business is not really going to get you in trouble in any but the most extreme circumstances.
I think at this point the cost factor needs to be near zero for this to explode the way we want. People think I'm "moving the goal post" when I say you literally will see it explode once it all runs off a cell phone, offline, without internet. Because nobody will want to pay money to use an AI UI when the non-AI UI was free.
considering that 6 months ago, 3 lbs of salt was sold for $2.29 (pnw, Oregon) and now sells for that for a single lb, that might be ok to flood the market and lower the price. if it can be disposed of for that price.

shrinkflation sucks, it doesn't mean we need to be beholden to it.
That's not a great example - surface parking lots and their runoff are fucking horrible for the environment
I didn't read it as only being in a relationship for sex, but that it's a motivator for socialization if you don't have it. Once you have a relationship and a sexual partner, there's not much motivation for additional friendships/casual socialization, if you're an introvert.
Flippant comment, but accurate AF.

> ai is a force multiplier not a leveller.

Agreed - AI is basically google that talks to you in human english. It regurgitates info from past that it has scraped from the net.

Until chatgpt can take a jira ticket with non-sensical requirements with typos and a figma that contradicts those requirements, and then spit out a working deliverable, I am not concerned about AI taking my job.
They could be pointing it mostly at the table (<45° angle) and you'd still be in frame without realizing.
I remember reading this when it came out, but couldn't remember the name and was too scared to type "articles about imminent death and our limited time with loved ones" into a search bar.

I've since lost my parents in my 20s, significantly earlier than expected, but found this weirdly comforting on a second read realizing that most of our quality time had indeed been in the first two decades of my life, regardless of what happened. It definitely makes me think about working to stay close / become closer with loved ones I have left.

Thanks for sharing this. Life's short and I admire your effort to live closer with your brother. Congrats on your "experiment" :)

I hadn’t heard of the Einstein Ring before. What a cool feature.

It feels very fortunate to be around for all of these discoveries from JWST. It’s a joy to learn so much as a result of articles like these.
Something is making our perspectives very different, and I'm trying to understand how. A new phone is less than a months rent, so is a TV. A new car is cheap compared to real estate. So those things are far from a marker of wealth.

Most people aren't in the rat race because they have an insatiable greed. They are there because they are desperate to have a roof over their head. If they can sort it out, almost everybody will be cool with chilling with a barbecue and riding quads in the woods instead of preparing a powerpoint to suck up to the boss.

> Not at all. Of all the 30-somethings I know that live here, none of them lived here more than 5 years ago, they all bought in the last 5 years.

That's what I'm getting at. You and your friends moved in because you could. You either had some real estate money from elsewhere to use to get established, or big city salaries to pay for cheap real estate there. The people born there who don't have real estate have to get the hell out (not because of people moving in), and go to a big city to try making some wealth to one day purchase real estate.

If you're born in a small town you usually have no chance of making enough money in the small town to purchase for a home in the small town you were born. So people move away, and then when they are finally established money-wise some 20 years later, they've lost connection with that small town they were born in, and instead shop around for where to live.
>What would this look like in use?

It would look almost exactly the same thing you already see. Instead of "file open" actually just being a suggestion to the application, the OS would actual enforce the permissions so that the application couldn't do anything else.

The usability of such a system wouldn't really ever take a hit. It certainly wouldn't result in excess permission dialogs. You don't see permission dialogs every time you take cash out of your wallet, or when you turn on a light switch.

The infosec community is weird, and I'm not part of it. I strongly disagree with them these days.
The graph of layers and ops isn't open source by my definition. It can be extracted from the model, but so can control graphs out of any binary. That's how higher end disassemblers work like IDA and ghidra.

Once again, this pickle file is not what's sitting in Mistral's engineer's editors as they go about their day.
I found it interesting to discover that an Ableton Live project file is a gzipped xml file as well, so you can get at the xml by gunzipping it.

I've played around with trying to generate a schema file from a project file with mixed results.

I very much wish Ableton would support this format or at least publish their schema somewhere so translation could be done.
Very interesting :)

In legal settings, I would rather trust your approach than an LLM. Your approach has "backtraceability" - you can build a log of how each transform worked, from the original, to the final : it's a series of localized transforms.

LLMs (at least to my understanding) cannot have that, because it is based on a global approach. So there is a good chance that, what it spits out might be readable, but it's one-to-one correspondence with the original legal document may not exist. So it may lead you to a false sense of security.
Indeed. Wow what a culture hole! Thanks for the exchange!
In 2024, I want to start recommending a secure and open solution for real-time text&photo chats (person-to-person and group) for techies and non-techies alike. Something we can confidently recommend to friends, family, people we just started dating, etc., and they will be happy with it on the their phones, tablets, and desktops.

I'm currently leaning towards recommending Matrix and whatever are the most easy-to-use apps at the time. Unless Element is giving off concerning signals, or something better comes along.

A serious IETF standard with much the same properties as Matrix would be nice.

(I haven't entirely ruled out Signal, as a stopgap measure, but the current proprietary-ness isn't something I want to recommend, and I really don't like that it can only be active on one mobile device at a time.)
Would negative mass imply the mass doesn’t exist yet?
Well in this hypothetical scenario, you are stationary (sitting across from each other) so there would be no tracking to notice.
I've played the beta for about 30hrs. I'm really enjoying it.

The new grenades work so much better. Smokes can give you a small peek, flash grenades feel more fair, molotovs have the right mix of cluttering the view and preventing progress.

Also love small details lile the shading being very dull during the buy time, and likening up when the round starts.

The game feels very tight, and less likely to rely on exploits ("put the smoke on this pixel and crouch here so you can see them!") than before.

On a minor note, I wish Valve's reporting system was a bit more friendly. They could take some UX lessons or two from Overwatch.
I'm not exactly sure where people extract free will from quantum randomness, so there's a bunch of quantum random number generators (using some sort of voltage breakdown/shot noise thing, I suppose), and that somehow conspires to help you think and make decisions instead of just jittering things a bit like you would expect from random number generators?
for those who aren’t aware what the commenter is referencing, linus has apologized for his abrasive ways very publicly and made very real genuine attempts to recognize there are humans on the other end of his words.

while he’s not perfect, just recognizing that and taking genuine efforts to fix it is absolutely laudable.
With all due respect, your model as described is different: the way I read it is that you're charging for work, not charging for a product incorporating your work. The same tension doesn't exist, because you don't have an incentive to paywall a feature; if someone pays you, everyone benefits.

Forgive me if I'm off-base with my interpretation of your comment.
> Not a big fan of how server-centric the LLM landscape is.

That's just not true. You can get ooba[1] running in no time, which is 100% made for desktop usage. There's also koboldcpp and other solution also made for desktop users. In fact, most LLM communities are dominated by end users who run these LLMs on their desktops to roleplay.

AMD being awful is orthogonal here.

Reporting a security issue is not the place for seeking help on the list and shepherding. The idea behind the patch was written simpler by others because the original patch was both technically unacceptable to the maintainer and not cleared for inclusion in the kernel (no Signed-off-by).
I never stated nor insinuated that you shouldn't form opinions about "things", my point was very clear about the fact that you don't need to _always_ analyze something politically and can instead analyze it differently or choose not to because it doesn't serve much interest or benefit for you, the community or society.

Unless you are willing to bite the bullet and agree then that we ought to analyze politically why a ball is round or why birds fly.
In my fever dreams these galaxies and their theoretical descendants the elliptical galaxies are the result of intelligent life engineering them in a way that is practically required by physics. A sort of natural outcome produced by the inevitable evolution of intelligent life in a galaxy of a certain size. (The evidence for this is essentially negative, fwiw. It’s just a day dream.)

This is just more Google trying to grab a service from carriers and Apple.

The carriers make a lot of money on sms, and because it's table stakes for a phone, SMS remains the least common denominator in text messaging (it's like OG JavaScript, except without the good parts). Meanwhile, there are a plethora of over-the-top messaging apps that have accrued huge user bases addressing all the things RCS tries to and then some.
I don't know, i think its pretty pretentious to nitpick what a "good" picture is, when its really irrelavent to the topic at hand and quite frankly not an interesting conversation since it is very subjective. The link isn't to an art contest.
It doesn't matter how much better the ultimate fix was, it was plagiarism and credit theft. A professional patch review process would ask for changes rather than kicking someone off the keyboard and taking over. It's a shitty thing to do and discourages contributions, contrary to FOSS.
> Dumping it back into the ocean can be disruptive to the local ecosystem.

I question this as being a problem. The ocean is saturated with the salts that are exposed on the sea floor. When there is too much salt in a solution, the excess will precipitate as solids. As the ocean is already exposed to more salt than it can put into solution, I don't think this would cause a serious issue.

Not per note pitch bend. Note On/Off messages support an extra 16 bits of "attribute" data that can optionally be used as an unsigned 7.9 fixed point pitch offset in semitones. Note numbers are also expanded to 256 since they can use the full 8 bits of the note number.

MPE is a super limited hack, I doubt anyone is going to use it once MIDI 2 becomes available in synths (it's a future technology, fwiw - it will be a year or two before you can buy any controller that uses it)

Counterargument: Linux is on most servers, smart phones, and information appliances. Primarily because its scaling cost is near $0/host, and some users feed useful resources back into the digital karma pool.

If the goal is to share an opensource project as widely as possible, than most will sell associated services to generate support revenue. Some operate as a nonprofit entity to offer tax breaks on supported project services.

Trying to cram a GPL/BSD/Apache project into a 1990's shareware license model will usually fail.

Ask HN: How can I write a test to check for race conditions?
In a transactional system, race conditions typically occur rarely. It becomes challenging to write a test script specifically designed to check for race conditions.

Do you write tests for such cases, or is it common practice to ignore these infrequent occurrences?

Google Voice doesn’t support RCS either, so I roll my eyes when Google talks about interop.
Freshwater runoff is normal. The continents and the sky dump freshwater into the oceans constantly at very high volumes.
Agreed. This isn't just a trivial point either. As a decision maker this is one of my top considerations. Every org and person is different of course and there are plenty of people that don't care about lock-in as long as it's a company they trust, but it's definitely not a zero either.

When I worked for Red Hat as an OpenShift consultant, I met with many execs who were concerned about vendor lock-in. Going with OpenShift for them was a no-brainer
There was a series of grotesque missteps before that which, in part, led to the layoffs. I think there's a few lawsuits that describe it. Forcing employees to either break federal/international laws or be fired is not a good look. Forcing employees to endure harassment, retaliation, and psychological abuse for a paycheck is not acceptable.
To me the ideal balance is the type of cars I have specified in my comment. And I know there are many others like me. We just want our own community. The others can do what they want.
This is so strange. I took a tour of CERN more than a decade ago, and during the tour we were told about an experiment done there to prove antimatter responded to gravity. They described building and antimatter “fountain” where antimatter was released from an upward directed device and a detector was placed on the floor. They detected annihilations when the particles hit the detector. It sounded like a really elegant setup. I would assume the energy profile of antimatter annihilation would be quite specific and mitigate detecting other random particles. So did I dream this very detailed discovery or is this really old news?

That's not the policy of Lina Khan and the current FTC. She was literally put into the position she holds because she was critical of that framework for antitrust.

Yes, since the 70's Bork and the Chicago school has held sway in courts, but that's changing. So no, I'm not behind - this is why the FTC is bringing this case in the first place.

When figuring out the definition for a term used, the best source is the context it is used. In this case, Hypatia is the benchmark given for what qualifies as "first rank."
