Ordinary political articles like this one are off-topic for HN. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Some political overlap can be ok, but for an article to be a good HN submission, the high-order bit needs to be intellectual curiosity.

In case anyone wants more explanation, I've written extensively about how we moderate political stories on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....

And the epidemiologist mentioned at the bottom of the article said COVID lockdowns would enable a U.S. President to use the military to establish themself as dictator.

But this is the WSJ editorial page, which isn't exactly well-regarded, even by the rest of the WSJ... "WSJ Journalists Ask Publisher for Clearer Distinction Between News and Opinion Content" (https://archive.ph/te5Bd)
A mistake a lot of people make is thinking that which is “better” or “more productive” matters in every situation.

All that matters is what the current decision makers want to do — and of course that depends on their motivations. Unless you understand their motivations, how can you say what is “better”?
Blake2 also uses a very SHA2-like construction (a HAIFA construction, which is based on Merkle-Damgard). I believe this was the main reason SHA3 was chosen to be something completely different (a sponge construction). If SHA2 was found to be insecure, Blake2 would be at more risk of also being broken than Keccak.

Speculatively, if SHA2 is broken without breaking Merkle-Damgard hashes in general, Blake2/3 could well become SHA4.
They are. They have changed the conditions that they suggest incrementing minor version numbers on.
This is really fun. Google Translate is incompetent at Latin, and I'm informed that so far ChatGPT still makes errors of grammar and word choice when generating Latin.

This experiment helps show we can use GPT-4/Claude to parse and summarize Latin, but doesn't yet show that we can rely on them to the level of a human expert.

I'm confident we'll get there pretty soon - and then will be able to rely on LLMs to generate Comprehensible Input and thereby greatly accelerate language learning.
Many people have always lived paycheck to paycheck. Maybe part of it is that people are bidding up rents because everything else is relatively cheap?
Jail time?

I'd never dare to hope for jail time. But if I could get a majority of americans supporting jail time as well for these guys, man, that'd be, just, chef's kiss.

Seriously. I don't think they need all this privacy trampling stuff to make money. Apple makes a mint, so these companies clearly don't even have to trample privacy to make money. They just do it because "F you user!"

I don't see how this is relevant. Knowing how to do something is not the same as doing it.

Personally, I'm not anti-nuclear but I'm also not for proliferation of it simply because I don't trust that there are enough serious people to operate a nuclear plant in every city at the same safety levels we have today. That said, I will never advocate for hiding the knowledge for building those.

It typically takes many years of irresponsible alcohol consumption to become so dependent on it as to not survive a normal working day without, and then typically liver cirrhosis will take care of you.

Heroin is ludicrously more potent in that regard, in mere weeks you're either high or in withdrawal.

The fact that alcohol was once also illegal doesn't make them somehow equally harmful on physiological or societal level.
Sometimes streaming is ...just too easy. Maybe people want the challenge and sailing their own pirate ship? My 12.5 month old child can squeeze the remote a few times and a series on netflix will start, rather quickly. It might be an older show, but he doesn't know that.
The particular tone those two words aren't a direct equivalent is that boffin bears a respectful tone. Nerd or geek (and lately, in polarized online US political discussions, scientist and expert) don't always have the same sort of caché or respect in all circles.
This remains a problem regardless of whether a library uses semantic versioning or not. How would the semantics of version numbers affect whether multiple copies of a library are included in a project?

as a person who has wished they could have studied microchip design, I assure you that the fact there are so little people able to do that is no accident.

the less people can do it the more valuable the skill is, or maybe they're really smart people and I just ain't got what it takes.
> Making all consensual acts legal may maximize personal freedom at the detriment of stability.

From a practical standpoint, this depends on the notion that prohibitions actually increase stability. No place that drugs have been legalized or decriminalized have seen significant increases in addiction rates, for instance. No place that legalizes drugs will need criminal gangs to supply them anymore. Restricting consensual acts reduces a society's stability considerably.

From a moral standpoint, giving anyone the authority to prohibit victimless acts is a pandora's box human rights violations. Who chooses what is worth oppressing in the name of stability? So soon after gay marriage (or just being gay at all) was legalized and we are already forgetting this lesson.

Show HN: Tumulus – Web3 data storage and sharing for end-of-life planning
We are thrilled to introduce tumulus, a decentralized web3 data storage and sharing solution that harnesses the cryptographic superpowers inherent in web3 to enable users to manage their own data in a truly self-sovereign manner – where it is not in the custody of any third party but is encrypted and stored safely and redundantly on IPFS. With tumulus, users can create and customize authorizations to transfer documents to others upon certain ‘states or conditions, including posthumously. Tumulus is therefore an extremely valuable tool for end-of-life planning, but its potential use cases go far beyond this.
Key features of tumulus:
• Simple access via web2 API to web3 data storage and sharing.
• Configurable to support many types of secure data sharing arrangements.
• Hybrid encryption for secure content stored via Filecoin on IPFS.
• Common toolsets: Vue, node, Solidity
• Sample app provided to get you up and running quickly
We invite you to join us in developing this project and look forward to seeing what innovative uses you find for it.

Happy coding!
The tumulus Team

The tumulus team expresses its sincere gratitude to the Filecoin Foundation for its generous support of this project through its open grant program.
Sounds like something good to have if you need to make your government behave.

I don't know what the play is here. HBO and Paramount have better movies. Even Tubi has better movies, subjectively. HBO and Hulu and Peacock have better shows. None have the gall to ask for so much money.

> You're making an assumption that the NSA cares about the efficacy of cryptography for other people. Why would they care about that?

Hypothesis 1: because the NSA sees evidence that more efficient cryptographic algorithms are easier to crack for them.

To give some weak evidence for this: if you need brute force to crack the cipher (or hash function), a more efficient algorithm need less computation power to crack.

Hypothesis 2: A more efficient algorithm is likely to become applied in more areas than a less efficient one (think of smartcards or microcontrollers). So if the NSA finds a weakness or is capable of introducing a backdoor in it, it can decrypt a lot more data from more areas.

This question feels a bit off - CSS is baked into the browser, not JS frameworks. They all may create the CSS differently, and architect it differently, but at the end of the day CSS is what it is. I'd suggest first learning CSS outside of any frameworks, without JavaScript, just styling HTML. Once you have that understanding, then go see how the frameworks muck with it all.

It's conditioned on the lowres input, so if it doesn't have semantic discontinuites it doesn't happen. It will eventually happen if you continue doing this indefinitely, but with reasonable size to tile ratio (say <6x) it works well. With manual or object detection-assisted tiling and proper conditioning (controlnets sidechannel, especially if it's a custom trained controlnet/t2i) it can be pushed further.
Sounds like you want the government to intercede in private contracts. Make insurance companies asking you how many points you've got illegal.
>Certain aspects of the us government were put together to help counteract this

Yes, that's why I am able to say it with such confidence. :-) Although they were put in place to protect a specific minority (landowners with a high social standing in the colonies) and work by promoting the interests of those with well-established networks. Until now progressive reform has largely undone that over time, leading to more democracy.
Thanks. Yeah, I agree.

I've successfully installed Ventura on a 2013 iMac 21.5", and I must say, the patcher has performed remarkably well. This post has prompted me to consider updating to Sonoma.

On another note, I'm contemplating upgrading the storage to an SSD from its existing HDD. A local tech service offers a 1TB SSD upgrade for AUD$400, which is quite cost-effective given the specs - a quad-core i5 processor with 8GB RAM. This upgrade promises to significantly extend the useful life of an already solid little machine.

I get the angst. There's nostalgia and the evolution of art and culture may seem like a threat or violation towards that nostalgia.

Yet, whenever I read about someone wanting to halt that evolution and freeze culture, it seems indicative of a failure to grasp what culture is. Culture is the evolution, not one state. The concept applies to any kind of culture, not just art.

If we didn't have the capacity to take a step beyond rock concerts, we would've never had the capacity to take a step towards rock concerts in the first place.
Survey – Cheaply hosting 2TB of data with 50TB of bandwidth
I'm curious to see what's the cheapest way to publicly host 2TB of data and use 50TB of bandwidth per month.

In the last few years the answer has been changing and so I'm curious to hear from HN.

Any technique is on the table: cloud storage, dedicated server, VPS, CDN, BitTorrent, etc.

What would your approach be currently?
I think that mostly depends on getting more high quality Latin into the training set, but I'm guessing the new amount of that being generated/discovered is relatively small. Then again, new techniques for training models could prove me wrong.

Isn't the async part redundant, otherwise you'd call it "live", and the "micro" part wouldn't make sense (blink and you missed it!)?

These are some very fair points. There was one book 'Electron Fire' all about the creation of the transistor, I think. I say that because never have I heard a more unenthused narrator. Makes Henry Kissinger sound like a dramatic actor.

Any AI voice could save that one. Any of them! Heck the original voice on the 1984 Machintosh could do better.
It’d be hard to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that you intended to distribute beers from a 12 pack.
This is answered multiple times in the ticket.

> The main problem with the current Semantic Versioning doc is that by not mentioning this issue it encourages developers to break backward compatibility, giving them impression that increased major version number will protect the clients from trouble.

> Instead, breaking changes should be discouraged - in majority of cases it is trivial to keep backward compatibility. (For example, instead of altering function behavior, keep the old function as it is and introduce a new function).

> If breaking change is still needed, the developer has to make sure the new version of the library can be loaded simultaneously with the old version. In many languages that will require giving the library new identifier, using new namespace / package in the library source code.

--------

> In the current form the document is an invitation to break backwards compatibility any time, under a false promise that changing major version number solves all dependency hell issues

--------

> Once again, the point of this ticket is to:

1. Remove the false promise that SemVer solves dependency hell by simply increasing major version.

2. Discourage unnecessary compatibility breakages, when it's trivial to maintain compatibility.

3. Several sentences of advice for the cases when comparability breakage is really needed.
OK? None of this sounds even remotely bad.
I'm quite aware of the difficulties of it. As much as anyone around here, I think. I've spent time studying it from the inside as well as as an outsider.

That's part of the sadness. But it is possible to spread throughout the solar system, and so it's a matter of scale after that.

At one time, nobody could leave the shoreline or they'd be lost forever. We have invented our way out of most of it.

Now, I enjoy thinking about how _different_ it would be from any journey we've taken. Something more like frozen embryos and robotic caregivers than a ship full of brave men. I mean, what would they eat? But it is not at all impossible, just unfathomable to us.
Just picked it up digitally, this sounds like such an awesome premise :)

For anyone who enjoys metal (specifically story driven funeral doom) there's a really cool album called Ark by The Slow Death. It's about humanity torching Earth so badly they pool the remaining resources to escape with The Chosen Ones on humanity's last hope, a space ark trying to find a new planet to live on. It's a great, slow story and the band does an awesome job of building the atmosphere the lyrics are portraying.
They just released a new version and maybe new license and pricing?
That Dallas interchange is insane, like those photographs of spiders spinning webs on LSD. Great article.
Off topic but: currently needing to use autocad for a work project, any recommendations for learning autolisp or w/e the scripting language is? I was having trouble finding a good resource for this, seems like everyone just knows it and the only way to learn is to have good enough Google-fu to find the forum post that fulfills your criteria. And hope it’s not out of date.
Right - demand was up because people had more money.
> You'll have a pretty bad time during the trip, but the clarity it provides is life changing.

Or it may traumatize you for life. And that "clarity" may just be an illusion, which doesn't mean it can't have a positive effect, but you can't really count on it.

That's the problem with psychedelics, they are unpredictable. The can definitely do miracles, but they can also do great harm, though usually not by the way of toxicity or addiction.

There is a reason we don't use LSD for psychiatric treatment. This is no conspiracy theory, they tried, and failed. I mean, LSD is a product of big pharma, and as you may have guessed, Sandoz really wanted to make a real treatment out of their patented drug, for money.

Maybe with modern science and better experience with psychedelics, we could success where the others have failed, but we are not there yet. That's why I really don't recommend that type of self-medication.

Now, if you want to enjoy a good trip, go for it, there are some risks, but rather low if you do it properly, and many good things in life carry risks.

But suggesting a heroic dose to someone anxious with the implication that it may lead to a bad trip is going against every advice regarding psychedelics, and essentially replicating the very experiments that failed and caused LSD to end up as a schedule 1 drug rather than a recognized treatment. It may work, but that's a huge gamble.
Yeah I was interested in this, too. It was a major hospital in Cardiff in 1998. She wasn't keen on pursuing them because the entire culture of the place was hostile, and she was pretty broken by the experience. She did go on to work briefly as an OT for a care home in England, but found a lot of the same problems with paperwork even though they tried to accommodate her. The basic problem remained; this is a paperwork-intensive job, and she sucked at paperwork because of her dyslexia.

What are the options, and what are the legal responsibilities for the employer here?
Sorry downvoters, but the web is objectively in a completely shit state and nearly all of it is on the back of functional programming and ideas.

This was a rotten era. Frankly I’m glad the hype is over and people have worn thin on it. Only one more “functional is the best” cycle till I kick the bucket, thankfully.
If copyright cannot be technically held any more, then it should rather be not held for everyone? Not just the small fry who have no recourse, but also for giants like Disney.

Since sharing of information is not a zero-sum game, areas where limiting access to an intellectual product is hard to achieve tend to build open and cooperative products instead. Of course it's much slower, and the output is smaller.
