> To add yet another protection, moving forward, we’ll enforce a clear spam rate threshold that senders must stay under to ensure Gmail recipients aren’t bombarded with unwanted messages. This is an industry first, and as a result, you should see even less spam in your inbox.

How is this an industry first? Every large receiving domain has had thresholds that they expect senders to stay under regarding the number of messages that bounce and receive spam complaints. As last I recall, the typical threshold for complaints was around 0.1% of messages (but it's been years since I worked in email). Gmail has certainly had a limit like this of some kind, whether or not they've talked about it.

Update: looks like Gmail landed on that same number of 0.1% as documented in https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#spam-rate - with an upper limit being 0.3%.

I do really like what Google has been doing to drive adoption of technologies in email like DKIM, DMARC, TLS, etc. I'm not trying to be critical generally. I'm just surprised by this claim.

Perhaps what's an industry first is telling senders their complaint rate [1], and establishing a clear and transparent threshold on it? (Most of the time, complaint rate thresholds are not documented publicly and transparently). So providing this level of transparency may in fact be an industry first.

What would also be a huge step forward, if Gmail is doing this, is migrating to a concept of email reputation that is entirely based on the sender's domain name (and not their IP address). Reading between the lines in their documentation, this seems to be the case (e.g., the requirement to set up SPF and DKIM) -- and calculating statistics like the complaint rate at that level -- though I can't tell for sure. With DKIM being required for all traffic, hopefully IP-based reputation will be a thing of the past.

[1] Senders should be able to calculate their own complaint rate as long as receivers provide a feedback loop, which most large senders do AFAIK, though unsophisticated senders might not have their own tooling to do this.
The GMail iOS app is completely unusable for me. I simply cannot figure out how to read a thread with it. Ive reached the point where I’ve started using the Apple Mail app instead (yech).

Also, why is it so hard to forward/reply all?
Because many people are good at the beginning stage of a company, but just don't have enough experience to handle the company in later stages. Investors many times don't want to take this risk and will replace them with more of a sure thing (at least in their eyes).
anti-capitalism is not much popular around here. something with "We Must End Capitalism" in the title is definitely too strong for HN.
And yet we see headlines like “UK out of tanks to give Ukraine” - that was this morning, I believe.

I don’t see Russia running out of tanks.
both can be true. software has become objectively more abominable each passing year. spyware is being normalized, locking down and taking away control from users is being spoonfed to hipster users as "opinionated" and "curated". Have you taken a look at the chromium codebase lately? 1.5GB of compressed (lzma) "code". W T F. Just look 10-15 years ago and look at khtml, look at webkit a few years after the fork, then look at this shit? we still ordered crap from amazon back then. We still had forms to submit to HN or similar. Sure, we didnt have thin webgl wrappers, webusb, webmidi, web-wipe-my-ass updates to our japanese toilets. The amount of direct crap being put into almost everything is beyond measure
An aircraft could take off using a treadmill which is operation in the direction of movement, if the wheels are locked to that treadmill.

That's effectively an aircraft carrier's launch catapult.
Oh sure, if it's hard to unsubscribe then I will totally use anti-spam mechanisms to block that as well. I am talking about the case where people engage the spam button for email that they (1) can unsubscribe from using the standard one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email, and (2) have either explicitly signed up for or that is otherwise from a legitimate sender that complies with your local laws and will honor the unsubscription.

Spammers are absolutely not going to care about the unsubscribe link, in fact it will likely put you higher on their list for engaging with the email.

By not understanding this difference, by not 'learning' how to use it as you say, it is very hard for services (e.g. messaging services also struggle with this) to know what is spam and what people newly want to stop receiving.
There's also a degree of ideological warfare to consider.

An idea that might sway others to join your enemy's team is a threat to you. If you can, you probably want to prevent others from hearing it.

Blocking, shadow-banning, de-federating and de-platforming all functionally do this.

When the difference between opinion A and opinion B on topic Y is largely determined by how the topic is framed and discussed, you can see why people have a vested interest in denying their opponents the opportunity to speak and be heard.
Craziest thing is if you tried to institute the rules of health insurance on credit card fraud (where banks have full liability) heads would roll. However no one bats an eye when it’s for something as crucial as people living or dying.
Not to mention what it’ll do the waterproof rating.
Mine was PhatLinux (remember that?). I finally got it downloaded over dial up and a download manager after weeks on dial up. It was so cool to use.
Hello,

> The HLOS (High-level OS) running on the Hexagon requires every "applet" to be signed by either the Qualcomm root cert or the OEMs cert

That's no longer true since quite some years now :) See the Unsigned PDs, which are allowed for general purpose compute since at least sm8150 (Snapdragon 855).

Note that the articles you mention says this about it:

> Signature-free dynamic shared objects are run inside an Unsigned PD, which is the user PD limited in its access to underlying DSP drivers and thread priorities. An Unsigned PD is designed to support only general computing applications.
That's money. Lawyers are $300/hour in the US. Money and time are completely interchangeable.
My 2 cents,

If I need to push a project I'd really love to work face to face, it takes me 5 min to spot the problem or to slip in a conversation easily. Or even just observing what's happening is fun and educating.

But in large corps I understand the dilemma, even if you go to the office your job is to hop in remote meetings, that sucks. Then the office might just be cancelled.
Changing your mind might be problematic however: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37773669>
Your rejoinder is valid, but I don't think the problem at this point is jobs that don't need to be done. I think the problem is jobs that do things that should not be done.

Doctors' offices employ people whose only purpose is to be experts at navigating the byzantine insurance system. Arguing that these jobs should be preserved is the broken window fallacy. These jobs do not have real functional value. They are compensating for something that is destroying value.

Even worse is when it's not even someone's job, as in the case of individual people fighting with their insurance company to get paid what they're owed.
the number of comments about aces is astounding. well done! any advice for new devs tryin to get used to godot? i have been writing phaser games for 7 years
So many acquisitions end up like this you’d think the shareholders of possible acquiring company might want a “poison pill” or some other mechanism to prevent this kind of merger or maybe the government should make it much much much hardware for companies to merge, mot for the good of the consumer or vendors but for the poor shareholders.
I thought about switching to Android for some time. And other than Samsung the 2nd option I got was Sony. And May be they were the only non-Chinese brand options since Google Pixel is not available in my area.

My biggest problem with Sony is with the 21:9 Aspect Ratio. I Just cant stand it. And 2nd being software update is still relatively poor.
You can also make your own USB drive mini-distro, atop Debian.

With LilDeb, I made a layer atop Debian Live, including an optional mutable partition, and curated a package mix and configs for it: https://www.neilvandyke.org/lildeb/
It’s still a “fancy” or too niche a phone. It neither has the reach, nor the supply chain backbone. By the time it reaches critical operational/business mass phone landscape would have had changed. Just like it’ll happen with frame.work.
But the article is about doing a LD_PRELOAD to front run system calls in order to support IPv4.
Actually it's usually just accounts the spammer signed up for that purpose. It's so easy to get an account that there's no point bothering to steal credentials.
I think counterintuitively there's less waste this way.

With yearly, incremental releases, people will evaluate what's new from their phone and most people will update on their own cycle, probably every few or several years.

Meanwhile, with gaming console "generational" releases every few years, that is a strong incentive for everyone to upgrade.

If I have a 3 year old phone which I'm on the fence about updating, then I might pass on this year's model and go for next year's. But if there won't be another phone for 3 more years I guess I might as well get this one.
Singapore is the only country that prices cars appropriately. Every other country simply externalize the cost of a car onto everybody else including other car drivers.
because they sell or give more than %50,00001 of the shares too early or have a bad voting structure? Nobody can fire Zuck because of voting structure. Be like Zuck.
A drop in salaries and in the number of jobs available in the Bay Area
I still don't get how for me as a consumer it's bad that I see the full price and don't have to add the shipping on top only at the end of an order pipeline.

Doesn't showing the total price make it much easier to compare? Aren't politicians pushing on other service industries (airlines, ticket sales) to do just that with all their stupid hidden fees?
Only according to rando internet comments.

In the real world, defamation must include communication to a third party. Schools do not communicate grades to third parties (unless you explicitly instruct them to).

If anything, leading a bad product review would be closer to "defamation" than this example.
It would be amazing if this was an email sent to people describing all of the things that they already had in place like it was a new thing.

Google: Here's our spam email discussing how we protect you from spam.

Me: But why am I seeing this message in my inbox instead of spam?

Google:
Yep, I should've mentioned that, for people who don't yet know.
Well, fine, they're on a website the NIH runs. I presume randos can't publish unsubstantiated junk there, so there's some level of these articles having passed through NIH's filters.
Unless it's Amazon reviews, where almost every glowing 5 star review is paid for.
LinkedIn. Sub 100k salaries are the norm. What magic are you doing to get more money? Do I just need to like humblebrag leetcode or something to get the algorithm to spike my worth?
Shell productivity tips and tricks (2020)
your answer makes it clear that you must not have built anything yourself of substantial size or complexity. if you worked on something for 10-15 years chances are you cannot answer some random specific question about that project because you haven’t worked on that particular part of the code base recently. so that does not mean you are lying about having built the thing.

my point is that assuming everyone is lying, biases you to the extent you want the outcome to be that the person is lying such that you can pat yourself on the back for a good job done rather than coming to the awkward conclusion you were wrong. and that is a real problem in interviewing because it means you discard top candidates.
> AWS run untrusted code on Lambda all the time.

AWS uses virtualization (Firecracker) to provide isolation for Lambda.

WebAssembly vs browser/javascript isolation is a little like virtualization vs operating system level isolation. WebAssembly and virtualization offer far smaller attack surfaces which mean they are far more likely to remain secure in the long term.

Browsers and operating systems are highly complex abstractions and they only remain secure (if you keep them patched) through the large ongoing investment in them.
Peer review means "has no blatantly obvious methodological issues" at best, and not even that a decent amount of the time. A lot of people take it to mean that the paper's results/conclusions are accurate.
Apple has, what, roughly 1 billion iPhone users right now.

Imagine if they only released a new design every 5 years. They'd have to manufacture another billion iPhones in a relatively short window of time to handle all of the upgrades.
Thats why I really don't blame the "moocher", except for the damage they do to their families. Am I any better than a guy who smokes out or plays video games all day? No! We're not that different, but except I gave my parents three grand kids to play with, and they're not so worried about my financial will being when they die.

That's why i was so impressed by the Flappy Bird creator. When he realized how destructive his game was, he walked away from it.
Ferrite chokes are large and heavy. They're also not free. So the product costs more, weighs more and gets bigger.
But like Amazon, Yahoo had developed scalable solutions in-house to run Yahoo. That was Amazon's motivation for launching AWS. They had already developed all these solutions for themselves and got the idea to monetize their infrastructure. I don't see why Yahoo couldn't have done the same thing. Plus Yahoo was sitting on Hadoop until it got spun off. And the kicker is Yahoo briefly started to offer enterprise big data solutions and even came up with a killer app that was years ahead of it's time called Pipes. But for some reason Yahoo just abandon everything.

People tend to forget or are to young to know just how big and innovative Yahoo was at one time. I know this may sound strange if you're younger but Yahoo was literally the Google of their era. Yahoo was absolutely *massive* at their height.
I understand what you mean, but airplanes aren’t the same as cars in this way. It’s in the manufacturer’s and airliner’s interests for the airplane to be as maintainable as possible. Commercial airliners are designed to be used 24/7 for decades. These are long-term investments and idle time is expensive.

Airplanes and cars are regulated as differently as cars and watermelons. If an airliner literally encountered phantom electrical issues it would be grounded immediately, and they’d be fixed — that’s the point of all the civilian infrastructure, like the FAA, that we’ve built up around air travel. I know, it’s not perfect, there are mistakes and sometimes corruption, but for the most part it works. Many parts of every airplane in the sky have been replaced multiple times. It’s the only way they work.
It has a not-so-charming price tag (490 CAD).
Which indeed doesn't work for journals because publishing wrong research isn't (and shouldn't be) illegal...
I can see this both ways. Obviously, nobody is forced to sell to Costco, Amazon, or Walmart, but in a business with thin margins, like Retail, the only way to stay afloat is to sell high numbers. A quasi-monopoly does force vendors to comply in a way.
Just a few months ago, I was able to get a Visa debit card for my two teens for their savings account with no hassle.
Emergency authorization right?

So emergency-release experimental genetically-modified-moth-grown spike-protein-based vaccine with nano particles.

But, indeed, authorized by FDA and CDC, just like the mRNA gene therapy.
I had tried Finnix.

COL is itself a function of the prevalence of useless jobs. They increase the cost of everything, they increase the need for infrastructure, they create friction for real work, etc.

Put another way, if society allocates more resources to people who work outside the home doing useless things, then fewer resources are available to people staying in the home doing useful things. One way this manifests is inflation, ie, higher COL.
That is perhaps longest possible way I've ever seen to say "I don't know"
I've lived with Swedish, German and now Czech healthcare in addition to American (with very good health insurance). I'd choose any of them over the American system. I find other Americans' fear of change to such a terrible and expensive system very confusing.
I agree 100%. Not all BS jobs are good BS jobs. The ideal BS jobs are ones that do something productive that has a positive influence. The worst kind are the ones that are rent-seeking.

I wish that people in this country could get over the idea that 'jobs programs' are a bad thing. Some of the best BS jobs are artificially created, the ones that capitalism produces naturally tend to be of the rent-seeking variety.
Cool. Reminds me a little of audio recordings in Marco Polo.

God I cannot wait until we are collectively done with this obsession over every little sensationalist thing related to AI, no matter how trivial.
Do all institutions produce grades with identical value to employers?

What happens when you have to maximize a function with more than one variable or order?
This seems to happen to all browser extensions eventually. I had to give up using them years ago.
After the password sharing lock down (which ended up being a price hike for our 2 household child), the lack of compelling content, and now another planned price hike I think I'm going to be dropping Netflix in the near future there's just no content there I value that much.

> In the time when everybody where getting paychecks, they were probably not difficult to cash?

It was a trip to the bank. Then add in another trip to the bank weekly or on any major purchase, usually.

Wouldn't want to go back. I'm personally happy I have that 30-40 minutes a week to do my other hobbies or sleep in.
Consistently Achieving Goals

I hope AI will find the nurses that hate their jobs and are harming their patients. There has to be a vast number, just going by the large percentage of other people in other professions that hate their jobs, and are doing it badly.
That's a pretty good description of the American system as well.
The AirGradient Manifesto
I am mostly interested in blocking for myself. What other people see doesn’t bother me.

The one area where I’d like to put blocking into the community is with some kind of sentiment analysis, I think angry content is contagious and that it would be a lot of work to make an algorithmic feed more toxic than boosting + chronological feed + explore the most boosted. In fact I would start with making a predictive model of what succeeds in that environment and then filter away the non-toxic.

If you could suppress angry toots in the platform, however I think it would lower the temperature level.

I have looked for an open source sentiment analysis model for social media as opposed to product reviews and so far turned up empty as I’d like one for my own feed (though blocking f5t and t3s keywords works wonders). I have thought about making my own but collecting 5000 angry toots would probably kill me.
I don’t think it is a tautology , but I can imagine a cve scanner picking up older code with log4j where newer code may avoid that library altogether, just as an example.

Since there is more older code than newer code would the llm be suspectible to that ?
Apple also failed emergency call (with a eSIM situation) and took three month to fix in Japan (where iPhone takes half of market share).

Space Shuttle 747 Was Modified to Defend Itself from Heat-Seeking Missiles (2022)

The Wright brothers' original vision for airplanes was that they could pretty much take off and land from a basic field. And they did seem to consider the idea of heavily prepared airfields something of a failure case.

There are very good reasons things didn't go that way. But, as is often the case, the original vision had a very pure and strong idea in it that has been somewhat lost. It's still alive in helicopters, and some other air vehicles, but it'd be cool if future aircraft were more robust in this way.
I mean as much as I sometimes like to shit on Apple. My MBP 2015 is still running with macOS Monterey with security and safari update. Although I think this could be the last year they put an update to it. I hope they will continue to bump out Safari update though.

Thanks a lot for the comment! (one of the authors here)

RE: plaintext
- The "plain-text" result is just a baseline. We call the "plaintext parentheses in the prompt" full-text (i.e., expanding the rich text info into a long sentence). We show many "full-text" in the paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.06720.pdf.
You can see in Fig 11 that full-text results cannot change the color, style, and do not respect the description. More examples in Figure 13, 14, and 15.

The main issue of using full-text is that it cannot preserve the original plain text image, thereby requiring many rounds of prompt tuning/engineering. We also compared with two other image editing methods, Prompt-to-prompt and InstructPix2Pix. But they could not handle localized editing well. You can see some example comparisons for Color (Figure 4), Style (Figure 5), Footnote (Figure 8), and Font Size (Figure 9). https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.06720.pdf

RE: Style
- Yes, you can specify what styles you want by just describing it.

It could be a simple word like "Ukiyo-e" or "Van Gogh", or some detailed descriptions. You can check out some examples in the video: https://youtu.be/ihDbAUh0LXk?si=wVF9LIF1NVqLtNDC&t=59

The particular font family used is just a "label".

Glad that you posted the comments! I hope this clarifies. Happy to answer any questions.
Where did you install it from?
There is a slight difference in how OS updates work in iOS and Android.

iOS system apps release with the OS on an annual cycle, but in Android system apps are upgraded independently. Meaning, even without Android OS upgrades the device would get new system apps.
They say, "hurt people hurt people." True. What is also often true, "Hurt people self-medicate." That is, they're trying run from a problem they otherwise can't mitigate or remedy.

I suppose that can be construed as eventually leading to "loneliness and isolation", but I'm not so sure that's what the writer is talking about. Do we have societal issue that encourage (?) use and abuse? Yes, obviously. But is that what's driving addiction?
But phones are manufactured regardless, so why not let the people who are currently in the market for a new device get something current? The yearly release cycle isn't meant to be kept up with every year, in fact I think that that notion is so hilariously out of touch basically everywhere except the US (and a small international wealthy elite elsewhere) that it would be ridiculed. Remember, the global median per-capita household income is only $2,920 per year. That's not "the poor", that's the median. 99% of the world would never have even considered buying an iPhone 15 or similar after having an iPhone 14, let alone feel pressured to do so.
