> For example, if you ask AI to perform certain editing jobs on a piece of content that may be somehow connected to a political or a religious issue it will refuse to do so.

Some AI services (especially those run as services by megacorps with lively legal departments) are gimped this way (usually as a sort of "thought police" model running on top of the core model, as I understand), but once you get to self-hostable models not all have such limitations.
Really nice read. Does anyone know any other good articles or videos about how to write a debugger?
Worlds/Spaces in Godot at least are more to do with physics/lighting than scenes/levels. So two objects in the same scene can occupy different "spaces" (for physics), "scenarios" (for rendering), or "worlds" (which encapsulate a space and scenario, for both physics and rendering). Objects in these different contexts will appear in the same scene but will be separated in terms of those contexts and won't e.g. collide with each other or be affected by forces from one space if in a different space, or be lit by lights from a different scenario.
TuxClocker Released as an Alternative Way of Nvidia GPU Overclocking on Linux
I've seen many people on Twitter and Reddit calling for a total ban of image generators, because they take away jobs from artists. Yes - they think that even "ethical" models from Adobe and Getty should be banned.
> I’m not sure how you solve that for people at home.

You don't. And it is valid for most "e-sports".

But I don't understand Zwift anyway. A big part of the joy of cycling is about being outside, feeling the wind, handling your bike. The actual physical exercise is important but it is not the whole thing. I understand pro racers using turbo trainers when the weather is so crappy so that they can do specific structured training necessary for their job. But amateurs??? If the weather is too crappy (which only really happen in freezing temps or storms), just do another sport or focus on another hobby while waiting for the weather to be better.

Note: I am saying that as a former elite racer.
Amazon charges exorbitant fees to Marketplace sellers and adds to the cost of everything sold on Amazon. Are you aware of who is the seller every time you buy something? When the seller is not Amazon, do you know how much of the price is going directly to Amazon? Is it worth it for what Amazon provides you?

In my category Amazon takes 15% of every sale. That’s even true for FBM where Amazon never lays eyes or hands on the merchandise. Also still true even though I have always taken perfect care of every customer. Good luck selling anything on Amazon without paying even more for Amazon advertising, a closed system with high prices. And then there’s the Prime badge and FBA, more expenses that you can hardly afford not to pay. Buyers are trained to demand them and Amazon reaps the profits.

If you buy from my website I pay a small transaction fee, shipping, and advertising. I can afford to sell for much less, making my customers just as happy or better since I can personalize the service in ways Amazon just does not allow.

But I can’t lower my prices anywhere off Amazon because they will retaliate by burying my product where nobody will find it.

Amazon customers (I admit I am one, too) are paying higher prices for almost everything they buy. But they/we are also supporting a marketplace regime that forces prices up everywhere. Everyone, not just Amazon customers, gets to pay the higher Amazon price.

My website customers are essentially subsidizing the profits that Amazon is making from my sales on their platform.

You might think you want someone big and strong like Amazon protecting you from scammy sellers. If they wanted to do that they would get rid of them and keep the good ones. Instead they keep the bad ones around so you get to experience their protection racket. You’re sticking up for the bully and paying for the privilege.
Good initiative, I am very tired of having my home-directory full of stuff and would rather put all of that in some separate folder, like .config.

I mean, sure, but the situation is actually "we know multiple vendors who will compete & sell you what you need and if that's not satisfactory you can DIY".

At the end of the day the situation is entirely driven by the requirements of the console platform owners.

You can choose to:

* depend on a closed source proprietary game engine & console integration and associated risks/benefits; or,

* an open source game engine & console integration via one of multiple vendors or DIY and associated risks/benefits.

AI-Generated 'Subliminal Messages' Are Going Viral.Here's What's Going On
Your comment excites me for a moment. Could we effectively have made US carbon neutral with stimulus money alone?!

Then I looked up a few numbers. At 20Bil a pop, 5Tril only gets you 250 reactors. US already has ~100 reactors, but that’s only 8% of our energy usage. So 2.5x that gets us fully off coal and 1/4 of our natural gas, and it doesn’t touch our oil usage at all. So we’d still be 50% fossilized. Sad.

This is Napkin math of course. But this shows how dang large a project we have left to do…

For me it sounds like ~hacker news~ fun. Dig down into a deep hole and explore it. Find out all the technical ways to exploit something, try to find whys to fix it and blog about it.

I can understand why you might not enjoy it, but do you really not see the appeal for other people in it?
why do so many people rely on Google for this? ArcGIS is vastly superior and much cheaper.

Writers' use of AI is self regulating.

If the writer is completely opposed to AI, they can omit its use, or if they want, they can use the way they see fit, incl. turning it up to 11.

If the writer's quality decreases because of excessive AI use, it's the writer's problem. They need to regulate their use. If the writer can use it to hone their skills, they can profit from it.

From my personal perspective, as a person who doesn't use xGPT or other models because of unethical training from my perspective, this makes sense.
Mosts of them are a bit too subliminal for me. Most of them I can't tell what it's supposed to spell, even with my full consciousness trained on it. Let alone, if it was only unconscious.
In the article it clearly states that shaking does not cause the hemorrhage that's currently considered "shaken baby syndrome". It literally says there aren't documented cases where the shaking was captured on tape/testified and the symptoms present at the same time.

It's more likely that a fall (or being thrown) would cause the symptoms.
Do you want to parsing your language to require implementing the typechecker and using shotgun heuristics, all so you can use <> instead of []? Compiler writers die for your sins in code. Let them do things that can drastically simplify things everywhere, instead of suggesting that they're intellectually jerking themselves off. Not that they're immune to that.

EDIT: Apologies, after a bit I realized the above is a bad comment.

Separation of concerns is a common pattern in programming. It allows for things to be testable and changes to be more localized. This is an example of that.
Lamb and mutton are perfectly common & popular in the UK.

Me and my wife wanted something to better categorise memories, so we actually yearly go through the lady 12 months of photos and out together an album with 80-120 pages that we order.

We he done this since our first year dating and now have multiple "Year X" albums that we sometimes pick up and go through.

We do also have a Google Home Max that is connected to a shared album we add photos to, which we keep in the kitchen and see latest photos pop up there, which we love seeing. But the physical albums are great because we hand picked those photos while going through the events of the year.

So in my opinion, there's no reason not to also have physical albums

Ask HN: Does this USB audio device exist?
I have two computers, one has speakers attached.
I want a low-latency, lossless way of transferring audio from the computer without speakers, to the computer with the speakers.

Ideally, a device which plugs into usb in computer 1 and presents itself as a USB audio class 2 sink.

And plugs into usb in computer 2 and presents itself as a USB audio class 2 source.

Kind of the digital version of "putting a line cable from line-out of pc 1 through an isolation transformer into the line-in in pc 2". But without needless conversion from digital to analog and back.

I've been looking at chips that implement usb audio class and provide i2c or i2c communications, but it seems like such a trivial device that I assume it's simply my google-fu that fails me.
So this is possible, but there are a lot of caveats. First, the installer itself explicitly says:

```

# Please don't change this. We don't support it, because the

# default shell profile that comes with Nix doesn't support it.

readonly NIX_ROOT="/nix"

```

I haven't seen any configurations where the entire /nix is relocated, but nix _does_ support relocating the store with the environment variable `NIX_STORE_DIR`.[1]

However, this means that you can no longer use the the binary cache and *everything* you install has to be compiled from scratch, including glibc. The reason is that nix usually patches paths like `/bin/myprogram` to `/nix/store/1238f...-myprogram-1.2.3/bin/myprogram` in everything that depends on `myprogram` during build time to isolate the build outputs from the system. If you change your store, all those paths will now be invalid, including the hash part.

So using a nix store that isn't `/nix/store` is possible, but I don't think anyone is actually doing it except in a few select scenarios.

You can also compile nix itself with a different root. That will work as expected, but you still have the issue that you need to compile everything you install yourself.

[1]: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/env-common.h... (you can also relocate most other directories. The `prefix` in the paths is `/nix`)
> Isn't this going to try and turn iPhones into general purpose computing devices? Currently they're much more locked down than that.

They already are general purpose computing devices, the restrictions on how the general purpose software (apps) interact with the hardware in no-way negates that fact same with the restrictions on how you get the general purpose software (app-store). At the end of the day an iPhone is nothing more than a portable a computer, it's as simple as that.
> Apple has never been big on the web.

That may be true today, but I don't think it was true during the early days of the iPhone, where Steve Jobs wanted no third-party native code running on the iPhone, only web apps that connect to third-party services.[1][2] It wasn't until lots of developer backlash and subsequent success of the App Store that they decided to de-prioritize the web.

Fundamental problem is oversupply of content. Information Overload leading to Attention Theft games.

Its like the Chinese real estate market where more houses have been built than people available. Same story with content and eyeballs available.

Its an extremely unstable demand-supply equation. And it will break down until new ideas about the supply side emerge.
I think the problem isn't with technology, it's with a certain brand of technological “disruption” that doesn't actually advance anything forward but simply shifts work, energy and capital elsewhere, or worse, externalises costs, e.g. Uber.
There is no technological reason to not use bounds checking as the default mode of operation since ALGOL exists.

My favourite quote, C.A.R Hoare's "The 1980 ACM Turing Award Lecture"

"A consequence of this principle is that every occurrence of
every subscript of every subscripted variable was on every
occasion checked at run time against both the upper and the lower declared bounds of the array. Many years later we asked our customers whether they wished us to provide an option to switch off these checks in the interests of efficiency on production runs. Unanimously, they
urged us not to--they already knew how frequently subscript errors occur on production runs where failure to detect them could be disastrous. I note with fear and horror that even in 1980 language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary precautions would have
long been against the law."

Again, you're showing that you don't know what it means. There is a distinct process which is done to qualify. This goes beyond simple degrading quality. Bad customer support is degrading quality, but that's not enshitification.

You may not like the word, but it was created not as a meme, but by a well respected wordsmith to describe this process. :)

So, you're saying it's okay for government to tax things "specific[ally and] punitive[ly] for what they are," in a general sense? It's okay to add to the cost of buying sugary sodas and any other thing, unless it has a barrel and goes boom?

In what way are you not free to buy guns, ammo, &c when there is a tax on them?

Are you saying convicted (and possibly violent) felons should be able to buy guns?

I think it definitely feels like clutter in some ways. I use Google Photos, and I practically back-up every picture I take, including screenshots. Indirectly, I find screenshots to be just as important to memory-making as pictures I capture.

Clutters up pretty quickly so I star pictures I like. If there is a special event/vacation, I tend to save all pictures in a folder and later upload that to cloud.

Definitely looking forward to using Apple's new Journal app on iOS 17 to journal special events and memories.
It's a misuse of the Python Ellipsis, though PEP has no opinion on it. The Ellipsis is "Special value used mostly in conjunction with extended slicing syntax for user-defined container data types."

In other words, it happens to work and look neat, but pass is the correct way to do it.
I've been taking digital photos since 1997. I've got everything stored in a set of folders stored exclusively by date, like \photos\source\2023\20230927 for today, with all of the folders created by the camera stored in those folders. The best photos move "up" into the folder.

I use DigiKam to do face tagging. A photo of people without names is effectively useless to anyone else. Recently, I've recently started discussions about what photos my family want to keep after I'm gone. I don't want to leave them with a ton of things they won't care about, and don't want to make them feel guilty when deleting them.

I used to keep everything, but I've started clearing out the lesser quality images.
It's especially bizarre because even apart from things like autism, even for more neurotypical people disassociation (which as I understand in mild forms can appear as emotional detachment which could come off as being calm) is a well known symptom of acute stress responses (i.e. psychological shock). As unreproducible as a lot of psychology is, putting any merit in 'they didn't respond how I think they "should" have' seems like just utterly extraordinary nonsense...

Many of those devices also have Ada, Pascal and BASIC compilers available, all of which do bounds checking.

Or they can, I don't know, at very least use C++ with std::array and std::span instead of raw C arrays, with the compiler flags to do bounds checking.
This is a thing in most Western countries! Especially in the US. It dates back to the 1960s [1].

Most parents don't realize that anytime they interact with a medical doctor (or another professional), they interact with someone who was trained to detect "signs of abuse", which basically can be anything out of the ordinary. They are required by law to report any suspicion of abuse, and they can be prosecuted if they fail to do so. The incentives are pretty clear. Unfortunately, while this obviously protects some children, there are adverse effects such as an enormous waste of human and financial resources to unsubstantiated reports [2].

To quote Wikipedia (this is more generally about hotline calls but this also affects healthcare professionals):

"There are approximately 3.6 million calls each year nationwide (..) affecting on average 1 out of 10 U.S. families with children under the age of 18 each year (there are 32.2 million such families). (...) Of those substantiated, over half are minor situations and many are situations where the worker thinks something may happen in the future.

Each year, approximately 85% of hotline calls either do not warrant investigation or are not substantiated. Approximately 78% of all investigations are unsubstantiated and approximately 22% are substantiated, with around 9% where "alternative responses" are offered in some states, which have a focus on working with the family to address issues rather than confirming maltreatment."

On this topic, I highly recommend "Take Care of Maya" on Netflix.
