Lots of excellent answers but this is the best response that gets to the core of the question (don’t know how to make a link to an answer, so pasting it here):

> Processor architectures come and go. The history of the 68k architecture is perfectly normal. It's the x86 that's anomalous. I believe that is the result of Microsoft's peculiar inability to switch architectures. No other software company seems so stuck: they move opportunistically to whatever architecture suits their immediate needs. Apple has evolved 6502->68k->PPC->x86->ARM. –

What's the threat vector you're trying to mitigate here? If you're wondering whether a movie that claims to be produced by Disney really was, if it's in theaters or on Disney+, then you can trust it was actually made by Disney or at least licensed to them. As long as the Washington Post still employs its own photographers and doesn't accept imagery submission from the general public, you should be able to trust a photo published in the Washington Post is at least of something real, unless you just don't trust the Post itself. If you're thinking a YouTube channel or something, unless the channel got hacked, seemingly anything published there was really published by the channel owner. Maybe they're showing you something made by AI that isn't real, but as the owner of their own signing key, nothing would prevent them from signing an AI-generated image.

If you're talking someone on Twitter or Facebook is putting a photo in your feed claiming a human photographed BLM throwing bricks through a window, don't trust shit being posted on Facebook or Twitter no matter what, probably, but even there, unless the profile was hacked, you either trust the person who owns it or you don't. Nothing would prevent them from signing a forgery of reality that they legitimately forged themselves. Even with device-level keys, what are you trying to prove? You can pay actors to throw bricks through windows.

I guess the concern is this doesn't scale as well as asking Midjourney to do it, but I wonder to what extent that is even true. With 8 billion people on the planet and counting and a whole lot of them doing this shit, given the limited input bandwidth of human sense organs, there is seemingly some maximum saturation of bullshit a person can be exposed to that a lot of people have already hit, and having the Internet host even more of it doesn't mean they'll grow bigger eyes and a faster brain that can actually ingest more bullshit than it already does.
It was frustrating that the article ended with no real resolution. It was posted almost a year and a half ago; I wonder if there actually is some follow-up somewhere.
Has nothing to do with the original question. Is this AI generated?
The inability of the car to safely enforce this is probably the main reason why this works this way. The responsibility is split, though: cars are required to be designed in ways that discourage or prohibit some unsafe behaviors entirely. Not too different from services requiring 2FA: doesn't mean the TOTP secret is necessarily stored safely.
That’s the one I had. Well, the department library had a couple of copies. It was pretty thick - if memory serves me correctly it was 2 volumes.
From the original report, linked to by this article:

> A Chinese manufacturer (possibly many manufacturers) builds a wide variety of Android-based devices, including phones, tablets, and CTV boxes. At some point between the manufacturing of these products and their delivery to resellers, physical retail stores and e-commerce warehouses, a firmware backdoor— based on Triada malware—gets installed and the product boxes are sealed in plastic, priming these devices for fraud on arrival at their destination.

Isn't it OK to name that manufacturer and affected brands?

US brands deal all the time with dilution due to counterfeits made in sketchy factories.

Why protect the manufacturer/brands in this one case? Especially when there's a particularly problematic supply chain problem involving the manufacturer, and to which they might be especially vulnerable (if not complicit or even the perpetrator)?

In addition to the obvious reason of providing negative feedback to parties involved and in a position to improve, the last sentence of the article demonstrates how not naming them hurts legitimate but lesser-known/upstart brands who are not involved and who don't deserve the negative feedback:

> recommending that users choose familiar brands when purchasing new products.

The signature only proves that the website/Bill the photographer was involved in the chain sending the website/photograph to you, not anything about the content itself.

Unless you have reason to trust Bill himself you can't trust that he actually took the photo, or that it isn't ai generated. Although knowing that Bill isn't tech savvy enough to do those things might be enough.

Protecting art from being stolen by DALL-E crawler
I made a basic version of an idea that I had, which I would like some feedback on. Basically, DALL-E & MidJourney steal a lot of images from across the web, and a lot of it is hard-worked on art. The idea of my application is that artists upload their original image, and it uses a process I thought of to make it so that it can't be crawled.
Please note that it works best on a computer/tablet/anything with a larger screen.

Let me be very clear: Because I have a fancy GPU in my computer, I was able to prototype algorithms in my spare time (e.g. nights and weekends), learn a lot more about the state of machine learning, and use this in production.

I can think of one specific use -- processing a data set -- which allowed me to do something automatically which would have used a few hours manual time. My hourly salary times hours saved on that one use already paid for the GPU.

I use Stable Diffusion many times to make images for presentations before it was mainstream (yes, there were a few months before everyone was using DALLE and SD). That had a noticeable impact which went well beyond the cost of the GPU.

And so on.

Yes, I could have done this at lower cost on cloud-based services with only a little bit more overhead, but:

1) I wouldn't have put in the extra work

2) If I did, I wouldn't have been able to justify the expense when things were at the half-baked stage

Things like Hugging Face are at a level where this DOES increase productivity by far more than it costs, and not in the abstract hr/retention effects way, but in terms of concrete output.

More critically, these tools are now part of our tool set. That means when new opportunities come up, we can leverage them.

And if JMeter just isn't quite doing it for you, turn the dial back another few years and experience the joy of the MDI GUI provided by SoapUI.

Oh and, it actually does do OpenAPI specs for REST and even mock services and all that, so I'm delighted to share that it's actually relevant to this post! :^) What are you waiting for?
Its kind of a back and forth. Before Adopting the Janney coupler the US had an even worse coupler then those used in Europe. The current European coupler don't have as high and injury rate as those that were the justification for the US government to force the Janney coupler.

Even Soviet moved to an automatic coupler, SA3, but somehow the Europeans never went beyond the screw coupler.

> AAR-style automatic coupler is a much higher strength, allowing for much longer and heavier trains than are possible with the manual connectors.

This isn't necessarily generally true for all 'manual' connectors. You could design a very strong manual connector as well. But your overall point is true, the US coupler are much higher strength.

Europe never had much cause to improve on this aspect because you simply can't be using very long trains on the European network.

> Historically, the few European trains using automatic couplers were exceptionally large/heavy

We have to be specific about cargo trains here, lots of passenger trains use forms of automatic coupling. But the issue with those is, while many of them use the same kind of Scharfenberg couplers they don't have things like power, hydrolics and data in the same place.

We really need to standardize all of those things, including the decoupling protocol.

It looks like the new standard will be a form of Scharfenberg coupler, they will be able to form much bigger trains then is possible today but still not be as strong as the American ones are.

No pre-selection of tip amount allowed. The default should be 0.

Sure someone can choose to tip, but the default payment experience ought to be no bullshit. Advertised price + tax.

Home economics and nation-state level economics are entirely, qualitatively different, not just different scales of the same thing, and people who think they're clever by comparing the two are insufferable. Global superpower economies are even more so.

A government collecting more tax revenue than they spend is a sign things are going terribly wrong. Best case scenario it means they were temporarily, inadvertently overtaxing everyone. The government "printing money", and thus creating some level of inflation, is a good thing. Deflationary economies are failing economies.

By far the biggest difference is that to you, money and debt are real. If you don't have enough money, you can't pay for the things you need. If you have too much debt and can't pay, people will show up and commit violence against you. At the sovereign nation-state level ("sovereign" excludes countries that gave up control over their money supply to disastrous effect, like Greece), money and debt are far less concrete. Debt represents "buy-in" on your monetary system: If people and nations are owed money from a country, they have a vested interest in that nation's continued economic prosperity. Money is an infinite resource to a sovereign nation: it can simply print more. Via taxation, they effectively destroy money, since Infinity + 1 still equals Infinity. Thus, money from a nation-state's perspective isn't about balancing the books, it's about controlling the flow.

Yep, the IBM PC clones are what opened things up for x86 - you could get PC clones for a lot cheaper than Macs or even IBM branded PCs. I suspect that if IBM had decided to not allow clones (either by design or by lawsuits) that the 68K family would have been viable for longer (and/or we would have seen Macs transition to the 88K). There would have essentially have been main 2 choices for a while:IBM PC or Macs. Which would also have meant that Intel wouldn't have completely dominated the processor market - it would have been more of a 2 player CPU market.

We also had the Amiga and the Atari ST machines on 68K then as well, so without PC clones they would likely have become the low-price choice for a while.
Would it have been more effective? HN hates blogposts that reiterate a piece of news, and since the blog post would be only a paragraph long I would expect it to be replaced with the source video as soon as a mod sees it.

I appreciate you taking time to read all that and compose a well thought out reply.

I understand the challenges these people would've faced dealing with local environmental issues common to the seasons they experienced. I wish we had more examples of the tools and technologies available to them so that we could write accurate stories about how they survived and prospered or simply endured. The important thing though is that we know they dealt with all their challenges and survived. These people were resilient.

I think the large collection of footprints at White Sands tells us that it is not necessary for a viable population of humans to make the journey, only for a single small group. The fact that there are multiple levels of tracks of humans and extinct land animals together supports the conclusions one could draw from the materials used in dating of the tracks and implies that those who made the journey went on to occupy the region for generations.

It's a fascinating subject and there will be more debate over the years but I think archaeologists will come around to the notion that modern man found his way into the interior of North America a long time before or at some point during the LGM and they found a home where there was a mild climate supporting plenty of game and shelter and they took advantage of that.

That is the reality of the tracks at White Sands. Some people took an opportunity to go south and once they completed that challenge they found themselves in a land of plenty and they made themselves at home. Whether they built a boat and sailed icy seas hoping for the best, or followed local game south overland across thawing tundra during a warm spell is something we will need to study. Maybe they just picked a leader like our Dads who couldn't find his way to the grocery store without a map and would never admit to being lost
and eventually, after following this guy for months they found themselves south of the ice and the end morraines in an area with abundant game and at that point they composed their first songs and oral histories to tell the tale of their survival and rebirth in a new land of plenty.

As a historical novel it would be great.

It be not so! The US public has been surreptitiously cheering the madness on. I'm sure they'd agree with fiscal conservatism in principle - but ask them to support tax hikes? No way to win an election. Ask them to support budget cuts? Literally nothing on the table.

I've been arguing the fiscal responsibility side on HN for a long time. There is nearly no government program where a strident call for fiscal conservatism won't get a comment downvoted. It is a needle-threading exercise to make any points in favour of not spending money; it takes a lot of care, practice and timing to argue without kicking one of several hornet nests. And that in on HN where the crowds are more reasonable and logically minded.

WebForms code cannot be ported over because WebForms' entire architecture is built around a stateful view-layer over stateless server-side code. It's fundamentally broken and incompatible with how the web works (simply look at how WebForms' PostBack system breaks the browser back button and makes it impossible to link to pages or content that can only be accessed via PostBack).

There isn't an easy way to move from WebForms to MVC because it's impossible.
