Thank you. I have done so many implementations of GDPR. The cookie consent pop-ups everywhere are only needed because of how aggressive these third parties collect information (and that they _are_ third parties).

Just don't collect PII beyond was is absolutely essential for your application, and don't share it with third parties. Bam you don't have to get consent. Knowing what classifies as PII is still a hard problem because its full of so many conditionals. Email is not PII unless you have some part of their name for example and it counts if your company receives an email from that person that includes their name in the From field.

All the cookie banners out there are designed to make people weary of them into just accepting the previous practices. It's malicious compliance.
There's nothing to prevent an older politician from advising their colleagues, serving on committee staffs or even lobbying. They're not prevented from participantion, they'd be prevented from being elected.
First, some places, like in McConnell's case, are just statistically going to go to a particular party, due to demographics (or gerrymandering), and primary elections famously don't draw people to the polls (if there's a challenger at all).

California and senate elections are slightly better in that regard, however, look at how much money Feinstein was able to raise over her opponents. This is nothing special about Feinstein, it's an advantage incumbents generally enjoy:

https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/dianne-feins...

I think getting this money out of politics is a start to ensuring elections are based on the candidate themselves & their policies and less around how much special interests already have invested in them. I don't have any ideas about how to get more people to show up specifically for primary elections, but the ideas people have around getting more people to vote in general elections could help, like expanding absentee voting, making it a holiday, etc.

> A bunch of logical signs were invented by Frege

This is true. I find Peirce's existential graphs interesting because they permit stating existential and universal quantifiers without any explicit syntax! Frege's work evidently has priority by about 4 years, but it doesn't appear that Peirce was aware of it.
"Professionals" arbitrarily deciding whose psychological functions are passable in order to allow an elected person to take office sounds horrendous to me, impartial panel or not.

If there's anything 2020-2021 and the 4th branch of the gov't taught me, it's that we need to quit putting authority figures in positions of power over the people, for the sole reason of being an authority figure.
> I'm just sad that there's no young people to pass the torch for when the time comes and the founding fathers are no more.

yes there are; but also not really.

due to my age cohort I'm see my self as this "next generation" software scientist/engineer who is aware and believes in FOSS and "liberty minded software";

I suppose most of use are millennials but the whole generation-label stuff is not accurate so maybe in the USA this next gen of people are a bit older but in other poorer countries they're younger???

in any case I think a lot of younger engineers got swayed away from the FSF/GNU ideological stuff by means of 'being pragmatic' which is just a consequence of when the open source movement distinguished itself as different from the free software.

I think the impact of this may have something to do with leidenfrost's appraisal that there's no next-gen to pass the torch to.

it seems like us millennials do not rally, we don't come together into any kind of social movement or dunno.

I updated the comment, It's really weird. They bought a part but also effectively gave Rimac the Bugatti company. One can argue that they basically leveraged Bugatti to acquire some control of Rimac and board seats without spending actual money.

Considering the number of missing nukes in the US, I can't help but wonder if one has ever been sold online. Maybe on the dark web.

How to Fine-Tune Foundation Models to Auto-Label Training Data
Webinar from last week on how to fine-tune VFMs, specifically Meta's Segment Anything Model (SAM).

What you'll need to follow along the fine-tuning walkthrough:

Images, ground-truth masks, and optionally, prompts from the Stamp Verification (StaVer) Dataset on Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/rtatman/stamp-verification-s...)

Download the model weights for SAM the official GitHub repo (https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything)

Good understanding of the model architecture Segment Anything paper (https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/segment-anything/)

GPU infra the NVIDIA A100 should do for this fine-tuning.

Data curation and model evaluation tool Encord Active (https://github.com/encord-team/encord-active)

I'll be honest, I don't really get your reply. I was merely saying that adding a clause in the license is pretty pointless. The hypothetical user has already decided to break one (or more) law(s), they wouldn't even think twice to break a software license (probably won't even read it).

Your comment sounds like a criticism of the project in general rather than the pointlessness of adding a clause to the license. Personally, I think this is pretty novel, better than the 100's of stable-diffusion-as-a-service things that have popped up lately.

I mean, everyone builds on top of things they couldn't recreate. If you're a software developer, chances are you couldn't recreate your favorite languages runtime/compiler/whatever, you couldn't recreate your OS, you couldn't recreate the hardware that's running your software. I don't get this criticism at all.

We have switched to Elixir and Phoenix as our go to stack gradually over the last 5 years. We've found that LiveView in particular, with it's ability to avoid a separate front-end framework altogether, has let us deliver applications to clients in a significantly more productive way. We were a rails shop back in the day, and were able to build things very quickly. When the whole front-end framework thing got big, it slowed us down a lot because we were building two applications, essentially. Now that we are able to go fast again we (and our clients) are enjoying things a lot more.

I should also say that if you do need to use a separate front-end for whatever reason, I've built a thing called LiveState: https://github.com/launchscout/live_state that lets you keep things far simpler and gives a "LiveView like" experience.
Sounds like a cross between bikeshedding and nerd sniping.

Term limits are just a mechanism to transfer power to un-elected officials and lobbyists, and to make sure any decent politicians are kicked out before they can have any lasting impact.

Imagine working at a job where there were rules that forced your company to lay off all the most experienced folks after a few years.

Sounds miserable to me.

True, yet most users don't care about the details in any meaningful way. They just want to be able to use a convenient service like Spotify...who cares that they don't OWN the music anymore? Who cares that they don't pay artists as much as they could?

The only time it's a problem is when an artist doesn't release their music on a certain platform and it's now work to try and go download a second app, make an account, possibly pay a subscription, and THEN listen to the new album. These are the kind of things users actually care about, not whether the app/backend is FOSS or not.

HN is a power user community so it's easy to improperly extrapolate our experiences and what we tolerate to what "normal users" will tolerate.
You don't specify a PSU by its energy consumption. You specify it by output.

Also, that 92% efficiency, is believable, but a bit high for a 5V 5A PSU (this is a difficult combination). I would expect any such unity to be marketed as high-efficiency.

I guess my point would be that Rust is also could be considered an esoteric niche language with a lot fewer engineers than Python, but I would choose Rust over Elixir because of the benefits.

I think PGs advice really depends on the founding team. Now it’s quite common to have only semi technical founders that make an engineering hire instead of the founder being an engineer, because languages like Python and JavaScript have commoditized the initial CRUD aspects of launching a product.

If your product is more technical and low level it makes sense, but if your building a HTTP SaaS app that connects to a database then chances are the difficulties and differentiation happen on the Product/Design level, and much less so on the engineering level unless you make it big.

I don't see a need for term limits- as long as they keep being popular and able to do the job, they should do it.

I see a need for impartial testing of "able to do the job", such as "can count backwards from 20 without falling asleep or missing any numbers or going briefly catatonic".
Nah can't feel bad using Sponsorblock - it tells you when it skips a chunk, and makes it very easy (just press Enter!) to skip back, check what they're going to talk about - and if it's of no interest just tap Enter again to resume. That way I can see if my favourite Youtube channels are promoting something I might actually be interested in, but Raid Shadow Legends, Raycon and Ridge Wallet can be skipped every time.
The ASCII table on Wikipedia (from the military standard) is even better at showing the internal structure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII

Maybe one could make the perfect ASCII table by grouping the bits as (2, 5) rather than (3, 4) - then you can see the "shift key clears bit 6, control key clears bits 6 and 7" principle for the letter keys.

Oh, and as far as the "shortage of Elixir developers". Unfortunately with layoffs in the startup community it's probably easy to hire just now. Even when that was not the case, we've had great success with brand new apprentices picking up the language and being productive very quickly. We recently had an apprentice go from brand-new to keynoting Elixirconf in two years. She is super amazing, but still, other apprentices have also done very well.

At home in this nation we've made

I'm not sure. I've been using an iPhone 15 Pro, without a case, for the last week. It gets a little warm when taking lots of photos, but even during setup, it was never "hot." I remember my iPhone SE 2020 getting hotter than this.
I was referring to the grey area of legitimate interest in the law and how I was briefed to interpret it ca. 2021. Things may have moved on and I am not a lawyer. You might be right and what the lawyers told me back then isn't true or was true and is no longer considered true.

What I was basically saying is that 1st-party cookies are considered more likely to reflect a legitimate interest than 3rd-party cookies. And I think that is what the interpretation of the law was (or maybe still is).

You can do 1st-party tracking without collecting personally identifiable information if it's just about retention without a user ID, which I was referring to. And I in fact think that there is a case to be made that this could be part of the legitimate interests of improving the user experience on a web property of a given business, hence not requiring consent.
From user's POV: if you do have to ask for cookies, please make the "reject all" button object to all "legitimate interests", so I don't have to manually expand each "purpose" to object. I won't use the site unless I object to all. If it's too big of a hassle at that moment , I'll just leave and not come back

The worst part is that very poor diversification / groupthink is exactly what creates financial bubbles and financial crises. We seem to be reaching that uncomfortable too-big-to-fail scale in computing / cyber security.
This is what is false. You can use first party tracking using cookies, local storage, indexdb, whatever you like without consent as long as it is not tied to any PII and it is essential for _operating_ your service. Diagnostics, page views, flows through the app, even with a unique identifier for that session is fine and 100% acceptable for both GDPR and CCPA unless its shared with third-parties or tied directly to PII.

The easiest thing to do here, is to simply not associate those sessions with a particular user. Even if your user accounts are tied to specific PII for essential purposes of your app. As long as the tracking data is not connected to that identifier, does not log any PII data on it own, and is not shared with third parties you do not need consent.

One quick edit: Be careful with collecting errors, its easy for backtraces to include application specific data including any PII you might have which will tie that session back to a specific user and becomes a violation.

I know it’s rude to say negative things about a person who has just passed, but I can’t help feeling happy that such an influential Senate seat will finally go to someone that’s not over 70 (hopefully).

There should be age limits for public office and it should match whatever we consider the retirement age to be. We have too many dusty old codgers running things and ruining things, clawing at power and money while destroying civilization for their great grandchildren (which is all the worse, because they’ve met them).

When I see someone like Feinstein elected repeatedly, it’s blatant evidence of how broken politics is in America. In California, apparently, policy positions, personal character, and corruption don’t matter, you can elect a corpse in a wheelchair if it has a D next to its name, and they did.

> Most people want to write their whole stack in 1 language, whenever possible. So people just default to Python servers and React clients.

Haven't you just contradicted yourself there? That's two different languages and two different stacks.

Ironically if you were using Elixir the default would be to use Liveview so you'd use a single language.
