Every now and then I wonder about weather from a historical perspective. What I find myself most curious about is whether we have documented evidence of what Native Americans thought of tornadoes. For tribes that lived out in the open on the plains, how did they avoid them? What did they think they were?
The "reasonable expectation of privacy" is referring to legal arguments which are made about individual privacy in public spaces. I don't study these things so I may simply be naive but I don't think this argument has been made in the context of a drone camera seeing someone commit a crime in their own backyard.

About 3 years ago, I actually did research about monitors before buying one, for the first time in my tech-using life (which started around 1990, as I recall). Up until that point, it was never a question of "what is the best monitor for my application?", but rather "what's the biggest, highest-resolution monitor in my (pitiful) price range, that Best Buy (or whoever) has on hand right now?"

That's pretty much the issue here in a nutshell.
> It's not unreasonable to trace the Sunday's horrors in Israel to that event in 1953.

It actually goes back much farther than that to WW1 and the dissolution of the Russian Empire and the fighting that happened amongst the middle eastern states, the new Bolshevik government, and the Triple Entente, and of course the Balfour Decleration.

> But there was a time that the CIA was responsible for an awful lot of heinous things, and the ousting of Mossadegh is just one.

There was a time? Because of course they promised 100% that they would totally not do something like that again ever ever, and so of course they aren't doing anything like that anymore.....
Block cloning is kind of a significant update!

I wonder what holds back a ZFS-level offline dedupe function now that that's implemented since you could already basically write a shell script to do something like it.
There are no guarantees, but Israel has generally been willing to negotiate with terrorists in the past. Hypothetically if Hamas were to offer an unconditional surrender including release of all hostages, destruction of weapons, and extradition of the murderers who perpetrated the recent massacre in exchange for Israel cancelling the ground invasion and lifting the siege then I'm pretty sure that Israel would take that deal.

I don't see it as a law of nature that "Google" has to have a plain search field forever. The world around it changes.

Back in the 90s Google proved you could make "all" available better via search than the Yahoo catalog a d thus became the landing page.

Nowadays the pure search bar is integrated into the browsers addressbar and Google as starting page has been replaced with Twitter/X, Reddit, news sites, .. and Google has to find something to become the start page again.

Check out the GL.iNet routers. They come with openwrt out of the box. Yes, it is often an older build, but the UI and services they add on top are excellent, and it has never been an issue for me in practice. Most can be upgraded to stock openwrt still.

Setting up a Wireguard VPN is way easier. They seem to backport anything that matters. They are sometimes marketed as travel routers, but they work fine as your main one. They just don’t take up a lot of space.

https://www.amazon.com/GL-iNet-GL-SFT1200-Secure-Travel-Rout...

If you want better than that? You should use a raspberry pi 4/5, with an extra gigabit USB adapter, as your router, and setup some routers as “dumb APs”. That way you can upgrade your wireless without messing with your core network and services.

Also RP4/5 are both fast enough to software route at gigabit speeds with advanced QoS management. My latencies don’t change if my connection is loaded or not.
Until that percentage starts to improve dramatically like in the last 5 years.

If you really want to know how evil and down right fucked up the CIA was, I highly recommend The Devil's Chessboard, a biography of Allen Dulles https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/24723229

After finishing it, my sense was that the best thing for America and the world would have been to put an end to the CIA.
Exactly after all the conspiracy theorists were only right about

I would at least consider changing the sound. Found the current one particularily grating.
I am using Defined.net to manage my nebula deployment in my datacenter rack and it has made operationalizing an overlay network a breeze. It's like having my own basic private VPC with security groups (roles) without a cloud provider.

They added in tag support [1] a few months ago which I have yet to try out but it looks very promising. The defined.net API [2] is very easy to use for host management and I am able to auto enroll new hosts and remove them after I deprovision them.

I also made a GitHub Action [3] which I use to allow for my Actions to communicate with resources on my overlay network.

It's seems to be better from a bug perspective, but it's still the same shallow experience. Which is now even more noticeable in 2023.

I sincerely hope that MS will put a lot of time in to make the next elder scrolls good, but my money is on another flop.
Such a clean app. Would probably use this if I haven’t mastered usage of Final Cut Pro.

yes it’s overkill, but it’s one less tool I have to learn.

I do like its ability to capture scrolling content. Would buy it just for that.

Also a plus: one time fee w/ optional upgrades. Definitely a plus

> 10 of us got 5s and 10 got 4s on the AP Physics exam

There is no problem if a subset of the total population does very well (or very badly). But if half of all AP takers got 5s and the other half got 4s, then it would be time to reexamine the test.

Similarly, if there was a study group in a class that did very well, that's no problem. But if nearly the entire class gets As, that signals that the class could be more rigorous, cover more material, etc.

I get why they don't do this — they don't want to disadvantage students as they go looking for jobs. But some schools are happy to have a reputation for for tough grading. My college had freshman courses where only 10% could get an A or A- (this amounted to 3 students, since the classes were capped at 30). It's a very selective college, so pretty much all of the kids were "A students" coming in. Among graduate schools and top employers, it's known to be a school that is very academically challenging.
Cars have been running out of gas for 100 years, give or take. To refill an electric car you can usually just pull it with a tow rope for a few miles to recharge.

Doesn’t really seem like a seismic shift in paradigm to be honest. Certainly not to justify a different level of range anxiety than a gas car running a bit low.

It's better to treat llms as more of a language encoders and decoders and have some for of intermediate representation where facts are verifiable. Or some form of a validation mechanism that isn't exactly checked against the generated texts. Pretty sure there are people working on integrating stuff like knowledge based but state of the art llms don't seem to have any kind of fact verification mechanism built in
Yeah, my Mazda CX-5 does this. It would sure be nice if I could agree to it once and never have to see it again. The second day I owned that car, I stopped accepting that notice and just ignore it, so I'm not at all sure what value it has to anyone. It has the feeling of something where a lawyer or compliance officer—someone who cares about covering the bases, not at all about driver experience, lol—stepped in at the last minute and said they needed to do this or they'd get sued.

Have you met artists? They're always bullshitting and hallucinating on drugs.
People are so excited for cloud gaming, and Xbox Game Pass growing now... The price will continue to go up up up up up up. I remember when YouTube TV was $35/mo now it's $73/mo. Game Pass and all cloud gaming will slowly cost more until it's close to 1/2 the price a month of a game, and slowly creep up from there. Sad.
Might be easy to extende fdupes and jdupes to be able to do this without much effort. I haven't seen the api/syscall invokved but I use them with btrfs for a specific use where I have a lot of known duplicates.
Obsidian has said in interviews that Grounded was also the sort of game that they would pitch and pitch for years and get rejection after rejection and probably wouldn't have happened without Game Pass. No one wanted a "co-op shooter with tower defense elements" from "an RPG company", especially with such a wild setting/theme, but Game Pass let them experiment and play so long as they made some "live service" concessions to get people to dip in/out over multiple months of Game Pass.

Obsidian seems to be thriving under Microsoft, doing all sorts of crazy things that their previous history hinted at that they were capable of but never had the resources or the publisher buy-in to explore. It's fascinating to watch so far. I'm curious to see what they do with the bigger budgets of Avowed and Outer Worlds 2.
> A 'C' grade is supposed to be 'average'.

Says who? I find mastery-based grading much more logical.

Take the Finnish or Estonian school system, it's very rarely curved like in the States. If you master the material you get a good grade. PISA results seem to indicate that works well.

Your claims of things that do happen are likely true. It is a propaganda word. People do use it as a bludgeon to push their agenda through. Police do use it for bullshit arrests. Teenagers' lives are ruined for basically no reason.

Your claims of things that don't happen are, unfortunately, false. Law enforcement agents whose jobs involve ever looking at CSAM basically cannot stand the mental toll of the job for any significant amount of time. Unthinkably horrible things happen to children to create these images. The idea that we would legalize it is not on the table, and suggesting such a thing is a great way to immediately lose support from everyone in the world.

We should not reject efforts to prevent the production and spread of CSAM unless we can show that the former group can abuse it. Unfortunately, so far, basically all suggested prevention mechanisms are vulnerable to abuse and corruption. It's an extremely difficult problem.

> i don't need a "privacy respecting solution to CSAM". what the hell do you think that would be? do we also need a freedom respecting solution to the murder problem? would you have my legs cut off and say i should just order door dash?

I don't think that analogy is hitting the way you're intending. Yes, we'd all love a "freedom-respecting solution to the murder problem". In fact convicted murderers still have some rights and freedoms, and balancing those against preventing murder and rehabilitating murderers is another difficult problem. Cutting off legs hasn't been seen as a reasonable punishment for a crime since the Bronze Age, so I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.
It is due to heavy-tailed returns; the winner who goes deep strikes big and compensates for the rest.
Your usecase is that you don’t really use it very much, don’t want the advanced features and you’re arguing over $20 a month.

hey @bamazizi, I think you are looking for archbee.com

The product that came from this project (Empeg/Rio Car) was/is actually quite nice and well thought out for navigating while driving and minimal looking at the screen. Physical buttons and a rotary encoder with detents so you know exactly how far you moved when scrolling slowly.

You quickly learned the button sequence for the operations you used a lot to be able to do them without looking at all. For picking actual music everything was a set of nested playlists/folders. The structure of them was up to you to define in the desktop app, which could make things that are the result of a search of ID3 data or pull off the first letter of the artist or whatever you want depending on how much music you have and how you like to play it.

You load something into the active play queue and then can modify that by prepend/appending more without losing the rest. "Wendy" filters to dynamically disable content that a certain passenger doesn't like when you say they're in the car (Wendy was the girlfriend of one of the developers, I think). A LOT more flexible than most players today. So... also probably way too complicated for normal people today, but super powerful and customizable.

There were only a few thousand built, and a lot of them are still in use today. Few modern cars have a DIN slot anymore, but the community has built some elaborate ways to keep using these by separating out the display/controls and mount just them in the cabin, integrating with car bluetooth controls invented long after Rio went bankrupt, etc.
CarPlay is irelevant for this use case. You can say Hey Siri/OK Google into the air and just state your request. The phone can connect to the audio system via Bluetooth just like in any other car.
How can we grapple with the edges of the hard problem, except at a philosophical level? To me, that sounds very much like the afterlife debate. I think it just feels different because we each have an innate “feeling” of subjective experience that’s not easy to dismiss.
I'd love to be able to pre-reject anything sent standard class, but there are limits to how much time I can spend on activism and how much I can afford to spend bribing politicians.
It seemed like the right idea at the time, now everyone who did is dead and new eyes are looking at it from their own perspective.

But these new eyes will do similar things that seem like the right thing to do at the time, to them. It's just a cycle.

What your mental plan is doesn't matter though, as long as you actually made a reasonable effort towards what the VCs expect. Or does anyone actually tell them "invest in me because I'll overtake Nvidia or die trying"?

I guess the person taking the VC deal isn't actually against getting filthy rich if they have a chance. If you say "I think this can get big", burn cash and work hard for a while, then recognize the moment where it's not sustainable anymore and scale down, then you did what was expected.
Interesting. India's Punjab state has a massive problem with drugs- and weapons-carrying drones coming over the border from Pakistan and GPS jamming is one of the techniques to fight those drones.
> look up "privacy" in the Constitution...that's right, you don't have an explicitly spelled out right to privacy in the US

You don't have explicit rights to most things in the US. The Constitution is an explicit grant of powers to the government (reserving anything else to the people), not an explicit grant of rights to the people (letting the government do anything not prohibited).
They did it all over Latin America and Africa during the entire cold war as well. And, I assume, they still back coups all around, if it is deemed that the dictatorship to be instated will better foster the interests of the government of the United States and the oligarchies behind it...
Trust has little if anything to do with knowledge. I know calculus not because I trust my professor. Trust no one, only yourself - after you have read the book, of course.

What we are talking about here is a rather deep (and obviously confusing) philosophical topic, and HN is not the place to be discussing it in full, but the gist of it is this. Mathematical reality is somewhat different from the physical reality ("our universe"). The focus of mathematics is on abstractions and generalization. But abstractions are direct reflections of the objective (i.e. what is outside our mind).

You are asking about ZF, ZFC, etc. Try asking yourself about XYZQJJX (it's language, after all, which you are free to invent, right?) and you won't be getting anywhere. You better trust me on this one.
I'd like: drop 'try' and always allow and error to be returned, and ignored or checked at the users discretion. Optionally add "@error" or such, and let the tooling add or remove the annotation.

An FFI like luajit is asking alot, but inspired by it would be nice.

Try a raspberry pi 4 with an extra gigabit USB adapter. Just make sure you use the custom firmware builder to include the USB networking packages. Easily fast enough for gigabit speed advanced QoS handling. Just don’t use it for its Wi-Fi.

If you look at this from a computers ("everything is discrete eventually") perspective, U(0,1) is less random than U(0,1000) because U(0,1000) != 1000U(0,1). For example, if you're using a fixed-point encoding that allocates values uniformly, it will have 1000x as many possible values for [0,1000] as [0,1], and so getting any specific value from U(0,1) is 1000x more likely than any specific value from U(0,1000). If you draw from U(0,1) and then multiply by 1000 you'll never produce most values that U(0,1000) could produce.

If you look at it from a math ("continuous is actually possible") perspective I have a much weaker handle on it, but I think the problem is that the entropy of 1000U(0,1) is not the same as the entropy of U(0,1)?
I'm not even worked up about gaming specifically. I just think the FTC is failing horrifically at its job of protecting consumers from monopoly. The SEC is failing on its end too.

The entire point of the competition is for the state to select a state standard, so "state-associated" is not the smoking gun people suggest it is. If you don't care about state standards, hey, I'm right there with you. But: they obviously exist.
imho that is a limit on Government power, that particular amendment doesn't clearly speak to an inalienable privacy right for an individual (which requires an entirely new definition in the modern era)

Around 1900 two brothers in Ohio asked the weather service where they could find certain conditions so they build gliders like some guys in France they had read about. Kitty Hawk N.C. had a weather station and the right conditions.

When I read about them there was a kind of question in my mind that never quite demanded an answer. This article nailed it.
[I worked at MetaCreations in the latter years.]

They definitely did some amazing stuff and had world-class engineers. It's been fun to see where they've all gone since - you all are probably using some of their subsequent work in your day-to-day. ;)

A couple first- and second-hand anecdotes:

(Remember, this was back in the day of software being distributed on CD.)

I was flying back a conference in the Bay Area and we took a detour over to the office in Scotts Valley to pick up the "Gold Master" CD-R for the latest release of one of our products to hand-carry back to Santa Barbara, there a co-worker met me at the airport and drove the CD to the pressing facility in Los Angeles so we could get them duplicated and packaged in time for the release. (For a junior employee at the time, that was pretty fun.

Engineering was down to the wire on the next release of KPT and one of the algorithms folks came up with one more function and IM'd the code to the app team who dropped it in as another option in a list minutes before doing the final build.

Intel sent us pre-release Pentium III hardware so we could optimize our apps for their new instruction set.
I think you have it backwards. Each founder exploits one idea, and the ensemble of VC's founders explores.

You seem to be thinking of the colloquial definition of exploitation.
Ooh, nice blanket generalization.
> CIA was responsible for ...

In the case of "rogue operations", the CIA is responsible.

In the more usual case the Administration signs off on the go-ahead, and POTUS is ultimately responsible. Examples: Kennedy's Bay of Pigs, Bush 43 torture flights ...
That may have been a slight exaggeration. But slow payment is pretty common; we're not particularly bottlenecked by cash flow (rather by engineering) but it's just annoying. "Tricks" in B2B like 1%/10 net 30 only go so far, the norm is that the more powerful companies take advantage of less powerful ones, even when those less powerful tier-1-2-3 suppliers build the equipment and parts that keep their business functional. I guess I don't know why I ever expected anything different.
