> But then how is it possible to say "Hamas is the reason there is no Palestinian state"? The reason there is no Palestinian state is that Israel has done anything possible to prevent its creation, including supporting terrorists to then point to as the reason the Palestinian state cannot be allowed.

That's a very good and indeed sad point. I think we were very close to a Palestinian state in the 90s. The stars aligned and both sides had leaders with enough sway to pull that off.

The Likud was beaten and then Hamas started blowing up things. That's a moment in time I'm talking about when I'm blaming Hamas for the lack of Palestinian state.

That moment in time is gone. Even if the Hamas vanished tomorrow there are no longer leaders on either side who are willing/able to move that dream forward.

Bibi essentially destroyed that potential and also set into the minds of Israelis that there's no partner for peace. Removing the Hamas is one step, removing the Likud is another. Unfortunately, even both of these steps won't be enough to restart that process.
It’s not like there’s no precedent for this. Look at all the rules WeChat was able to ignore due to their size and influence. I assume Elon expected a similar treatment for Twitter.
So it needs special adhesive, special bricks, special maintenance (Whats the lifespan on that internal saw if you have a lot of corners?) and it's only for the inner walls? What is the value proposition here?
You think they’re making money on $1 per account? Processing fees will eat most of that. It seems likely to me they’re doing it to improve the user experience, which if that recruits more users will be worth much more to them than the 10,000 bots each paying $1/year.
I didn't realize CSS had such sophisticated transformations nowadays. How long until filter:llm("pontificate")?
My local grocery store (Wegmans) tried something like that; a self-scan app on your cell phone, to check out you'd scan a QR on the self-checkout and it'd pass over all your items.

Theft (things like putting unscanned $200 beef tenderloin roasts unscanned at the bottom of a bag) was so bad they canceled it within months. I miss it, it was super convenient.

They're now trialing camera-based machine vision cart attachments that are slow and annoying.
They don't. Damage happens all the time. There is an entire industry for repairing these cables. The answer is to have multiple redundant lines to redirect traffic onto other paths, which is largely what the internet does.
DDR4 and DDR5 are nowhere near as fast the memory in Apple's SoCs or GDDR6X found on modern GPUs.
At some point, we have to go beyond linguistic relativism, and admit that some languages are inherently flawed - when we observe that everyone who uses it struggle with the same problems. It's like the opposite of the "happy path", or "falling into a pit of success". Some languages guide the user toward poorly built software.
I can't reply to @filoleg's response, but here we go:

> And what’s the other option, running two separate user account management systems in parallel? That’s an insane amount of overhead managing and making sure it actually works.

I've seen a large bank with THREE user account management systems in parallel, and two email systems. And they weren't alone in this way of setting things up.

* IBM RACF, for stuff that touched the mainframe

* MS AD for corporate employees and branch managers, they got Exchange email and Office

* OpenLDAP and some opensource email system for everybody else
Have any examples in mind of the “really good tracks?”
Might not need it?

Ultimately these are the "bones" of the wall to which you afix stucco or house wrap + furring strips + siding on the outside.

Inside would be stucco (if in warm weather climate) or furring + insulation + wall board (if in cold weather climate).
You can write off swaths of books and entire genres by asking "what is the point" but that aside even if someone offered an answer would it change the way you feel about it? No.
Unironically happy about this as I think it’ll help me finally kick my Twitter habit.

I guess thats a function of having enough karma to enable flagging. Doesn't solve your immediate issue though.
Medical errors happen all the time and often are preventable with better processes. Just don't invest in reducing the error rate and boom, more business.
Is Microsoft chronically incapable of coming up with original names?
That's really interesting. I wonder what other audio cues can be used other than the simple content of the words.

Voice, maybe? Humans are great at distinguishing lots of different voices. Are there any screen reader tools that use a mixture of different people's voices to add additional fidelity to the information?
Well, if you're talking about vanilla WordPress, the article doesn't make any sense. Vanilla WordPress is completely free. There are no fees for adding different fonts or any of the other things you say you were charged for. So if it's not a managed service charging you those fees, where are they coming from?
I think that's a good way to reduce bots but I also don't think Musk is an honest person.

What is the ratio of junk emails to junk carrier mail? The reason there is so much electronic spam and scams is because the cost to blast these out at scale is essentially $0.

Carrier mail is also traceable. Payment systems add traceability to something like X.
Things that work in a high trust society do not work in a medium or low trust one.

The US is rapidly backsliding from a high to low trust society so things like this are simply not possible in many areas. A few trials like this ran near me and shut down months later.
> payment process have absolutely no way of knowing anything except those few last numbers of the card

This is just plain wrong.

1. Payment processors know everything because they process the payment

2. Application developers don't know anything besides the last 4 is closer to reality because they're probably not PCI compliant to access the remaining information. BUT some processors such as Adyen will try to provide a unique identifier for each card (that has no further information except linking multiple purchases across vendors and channels).

Now with this unique identifier X still wouldn't know WHO you are but they could provide that information to advertisers that might know or at least use it to track you online and in person
Its easier to make money from 100 users willing to pay $10,000 each, aka $1 million/year in revenue, than to recruit 1,000,000 individual users.

Bonus points: bots want the blue-checkmark to look more legitimate, so bots are also more likely to pay $8/month for the blue checkmark. The actual revenue is going to be far higher in practice when you consider that any bot-farm / astroturf will obviously have some blue-checkmarks + an army of normies in some kind of mix.
By the literal definition of censorship, you are correct. HN, and most social media, make decisions about what gets shown and what doesn't. Any filtering, moderation, or removal of any content where the goal is to make things better (and so implies the removed item was in the way of good) is technically censorship. Even the likes of spam filtering is censorship. It is removal of objectionable content after all.

But there's connotations to the term censorship that make it carry a stronger implied moral, or indeed political, judgement than terms like "filter" in contexts like this one.

Maybe that's exactly what you wanted to communicate. However, as phrased, it's more likely to get a knee-jerk downvote rather than a reasoned response.

Which is exactly why I chose to respond, I'd rather see a discussion on the topic rather than either your comment being ignored or removed. After all, that's why I come to HN, it censors in favor of discourse, and though it's imperfect, it does far better in practice than any other site I know of.
Not well. We haven't had unrestricted firearms access since the beginning of the last century!
Thanks for the clarification.

However, I don't think it's even legal for Apple to hand over credit card info to third parties. Not that Apple would anyway, because it would completely destroy customer trust in Apple.
There’s a 0% chance that musk has any private interest in reducing bots. Bots was his excuse to try to get out of an obviously shitty deal that he made. That’s it.
Musk’s recent involvement in Ukraine’s use of starlink makes me deeply hesitant to rely on SpaceX for communications, especially when Russia is involved as is likely the case here.

A service that is like starlink not run by Musk could be the way forward, of course.
I can also recommend Sunvox as a great tracker, but it’s much more than that. Free on most platforms and around 10 usd on iOS/android.
Or instead of "space space space space space space space space" they could just say "eight spaces".
The current reality of tech isn’t great. More than half a million jobs lost post 2021, yet the top tech companies are back to their top valuations with much smaller headcounts.

There are very real risks with AI.

- concentration of power and wealth - we already see this with AMAGF
- echo chambers - the algorithms amplify the extremes - already see this. People can’t even agree on who won the election.
- AI in military use killing 1000s - already happening, and will only go up.
- Surveillance

AI has potential to become a massive force of good, but also has very serious risks if we are not careful.

AI in essence is the power to amplify human comprehension and control of the environment.

It is unlikely we go to 50B humans, but very likely a few humans end up controlling billions of humans and building the utopia of distopia.

People need their mail, because they can't things like social security checks without it. It's not clear that anyone really needs Twitter, except for influencers and bot-shops.

>if China can ctrl c/ctrl v your idea and then pay cheap labour to churn out a clone within a week?

By being protective over our ideas we're admitting that China will do it cheaper and faster than us. Why can't we aim to beat them instead?
Quick note that: yes, but free space laser is a bit different than wireless because bandwidth can be extremely high and adjacent transmitter interference is essentially zero.
Way back in high school precalculus, I had a particularly hard (and hard-ass) teacher. I generally scored in the 85-95 range, but one exam I was shocked to get a grade in the 60s. When I asked the teacher about it they pointed out that since I hadn't written my angles with the degree symbol (e.g. 45˚) that meant they were in radians, and thus very (very) wrong.

Never did that again.
It depends. Self checkout works wonderfully on stores like Walmart and Target. 0 issues.

However in stores like Fry's/Kroger/Albertsons, it effectively treats me like a thief.
Can I get a list of the people who paid? I would like to sell them NFTs.
Every single part of HN’s inaccessibility is intentional, with a very strong and unshakable foundation beneath it. This is empirically proven by the fact that YCombinator hasn’t spent any effort on changing it for over a decade and a half. And it’s not for the lack of money or the lack of competence.

Of all the things one could complain about HN, like the tiny fonts and the tiny buttons next to each other and the disregard for making it easier for those who use screen readers, the color of a text submission would be the very last thing that would get fixed.

(This comment is partly sarcastic)
Starlink laser capacity is 100Gbps. Undersea cables often carry more than 100Tbps.
So many commands to remember (pkgx <etc etc>, dev etc etc, env etc etc). I just want to cd into a directory with stuff like .terraform-version or .python-version or all of the above and installation should happen like magic. I should not even have to remember the name of the tool.. Thats the best user experience IMO. Let me know in the comments if what i am asking is dumb..

I tried my best to use this tool and many other all in one tools (asdf, rtx etc) but individual tools like tfenv, pyenv, nvm feel way more ergonomic that all the all in one tools to a point that i don't mind having so many tools
I'm amazed that the 'rebranding' was started, seemingly with no plan, then just aborted, with x.com still just being a redirect to twitter.com, and everything still in 'Twitter blue'.

Nobody's going to call it X, and 'ex dot com' isn't a great name. He should probably just accept that mistakes were made and revert it.
Starlink is only an extra ~10% of the Earth radius at orbit height, but optic cables slow light by ~30%. So it's actually counterintuitive but "could" be just as fast. (Depending on how far you need to send data, it will regress for intra nation but will theoretically improve long distance communication).
You're absolutely right and I concede that I misspoke initially. However, I think the main thrust of my point is correct: that the US represents a huge chunk of the Guardian's target audience and therefore suggesting that the Guardian not localize its articles for Americans is absurd.
Are you a troll account? I can't imagine someone being so obtuse, this must be a joke. You continue to paint any pushback as some bad faith, exaggerated caricature in order to support your silly ideas. The fact of the matter is most people trust most police, that is evidenced in polls after polls, in every community.
Then why damage to the gas line?
Are these 'safer' than using langchain-based agents that directly execute (arbitrary!) Python code? That was always my main issue with langchain
You don't. Just grab some shlub and do some whitch doctor bullshit to convict them.
This...is a weird exaggeration. Walmart plus allows you to do just that. Sam's club, I do exactly the same. Scan it via my mobile app, show app QR to person at checkout, done.

The US isn't rapidly sliding anywhere.
That's how I do it here in the US. But without the spot checks. Definitely handy.
I believe that this implies the existence of a universal system model. Such a model could be used to describe any system in any state.

We are all unique entities made of common components.

Well, the daemon-based approach won't really work with certain kinds of distributed build and caching systems. I suspect it will work for a lot of use cases though. It's also problematic if you want to parse code without a build system as such. Does every analysis tool and IDE need to add support for that GCC specific API?

But the p1689 approach is implemented the same way for all three major compilers. And it should be reasonably adoptable by anything else that might want to work with CMake and other build systems that choose to support p1689.
I just don't like ringing up and bagging my own groceries. I'll pay extra for someone else to do it just please stop making me use the self check out.
In the 2000s I did a quite a few demos¹.

Even if it was fun I often felt it was useless because the skills I was acquiring were only applicable for game development and that was something I was not interested in.

It was quite a shock to me when I found myself working on a WebGL demo for Google² and all what I had learnt in the demoscene paid off (and has continued paying off ever since!³⁴).

Yes, I don't know what "ammunition press operator" or whatever pays, but I doubt it's enough to put the kids through college in any state in the country these days. Somehow the military industrial complex is as profitable as ever though.
A better question is why websites in general feel the need to use custom colors and fonts for text. Users should set their own preferences in the browsers and that should be that. OTOH if I continue with that argument I should shun the pale background color which I actually kind of like. OTOH part of why I like it is because it sets the "page" apart from the unused portions of the browser window, which I'm not going to get into, as it really opens a huge can of worms that are mostly opinion ;-) (hint from me: why do we run everything maximized?)
Oh, just identify the bots.
It's easy to be cynical about the future of the internet but OSM and tools like GraphHopper are a wonderful and rare example of at least _some_ power being wrested away from the incumbents. Finding Leaflet, OSM, and custom tile servers many years ago was a godsend when it seemed like your only option for including mapping was relying on Google maps.
I had a globus / lump in throat sensation that was my first symptom of COVID and persisted months after. It went away somehow after I started going to the gym. Obviously can’t say if it’s connected or not, but wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
In certain cases low orbit constellations with inter-satellite links (like Starlink) can beat underwater cable for latency:

always click your links, folks, that's a pretty dumb glitch to truncate href as well as the displayed url. good looking out mr bear.
I want unified mangling only if it comes with unified basic types. I want a string (maybe not std::string) that I can use not just in C++, but also rust, ada, python, C#, Java, and whatever other language is hot this week that is willing to provide some guarantees (this might include something like deterministic destruction which could toss some of the above out - something to debate). Likewise I want a list type (like std::vector) that I can put in arbitrary types and access by the above languages. The above quickly forces some form a struct type with a layout, and likely also functions (thus class), though we can debate how much we include.
10 years or so of self check he in US Midwest, and I’ve never even seen someone being checked on.
US and USSR were decoupled in the Cold War; US and China will probably be decoupled in Cold War II.
This very, very cool and comprehensive!

Omg yes another great reason to go to the bank.
I've always assumed it was to disincentivise posting text rather than links.
Calling this “alignment” seems bizarre for me. We have a well-established name for this: social engineering. When you hire a person and give them privileges that exceed that of the people they interact with, they can be tricked.
Interesting… why wouldn’t you? Do you live far from one?

I love going to Best Buy (and most stores), but maybe that’s just because it was great growing up with them as a source for all things electronic.

Personally I get more joy from browsing stores in person compared to browsing digitally. It becomes something to do—an event of sorts. We exist in the physical world; the digital world is less satisfying to my other senses.
U.S. to Restrict Shipment of Nvidia H800 and RTX 4090 GPUs to China
While not a fan of this guy, I just wanted to point out that you can't really judge the entirety of someone's work by whether they are antisemitic in the time period this guy lived in because almost everyone was antisemitic back then, including much of the USA (i.e. https://www.history.com/news/wwii-jewish-refugee-ship-st-lou...)

It's quite useful on ci, and as a `make mypy` can run before pushing up your code, but for interactive errors we all use pyright, which is a bit of a letdown because you don't get autocomplete for fields and models accessed through reverse relation managers etc, pyright doesn't know about them. Many packages ship types nowadays, so the type coverage isn't too bad for us right now.

Here's our plugin setup in mypy.ini in case this helps (Django 4.2 + drf 3.14)

[mypy]
plugins =
mypy_django_plugin.main,
mypy_drf_plugin.main
ignore_missing_imports = True
follow_imports = silent
no_implicit_optional = True
warn_unused_ignores = True
check_untyped_defs = True
disallow_untyped_defs = True
disallow_untyped_calls = True
warn_unreachable = True
strict_equality = True
allow_redefinition = True
show_error_codes = True
mypy_path = stubs

[mypy.plugins.django-stubs]
django_settings_module = 'mycompany.settings'

with packages:

mypy==1.6.0
django-stubs==4.2.4
django-stubs-ext==4.2.2
djangorestframework-stubs==3.14.3

with this horror of a regex in make (because you'll get drowned in wrong type errors in all of the untype files, and errors get shown from imports even if you don't care about that imported file), add more file targets as necessary:

FILES_TO_MYPY = $(shell ls mycompany/\*/validators.py mycompany/\*/services.py mycompany/\*/selectors.py mycompany/\*/managers.py | sort | uniq)

# 1)We have to grep out django-manager-missing like this until the following bug
# is fixed: https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/12987.
# 2) We grep out the line of `Found 95 errors in 16 files (checked 83 source
# files)` that now appears as we use follow-imports: silent, because there's a
# bug where errors from imported modules are counted against the total even
# though they aren't emitted. If any real errors appear we get them as a
# separate line anyways.
.PHONY: mypy
mypy:
@{ MYPY_FORCE_COLOR=${NOT_CI} $(VENV)/bin/mypy --config-file mypy.ini $(FILES_TO_MYPY) 2>&3 | grep -v 'django-manager-missing\|errors in'; } 3>&1 | tee $(HYRE_TESTS_OUTPUT_PATH)/mypy.stdout.txt

This allows you to get proper errors for things like

model = MyModel.objects.get()
othermodel = model.othermodel_set.first()
reveal_type(othermodel) # correctly revealed to note: Revealed type is "Union[mycompany.importpath.models.OtherModel None]"

and even errors on typos like

model = MyModel.objects.get()
othermodel = model.ooooothermodel_set.first() # revealed as MyModel has no attribute ooooothermodel_set, perhaps you ment othermodel_set

WeChat is way more important to everyday life in China than the iPhone is. I'm writing to you from Shenzen right now.

You don't need an iPhone to survive in China. You absolutely need WeChat to survive.
For example, you literally can't order food when dining inside a large number of restaurants without WeChat. The menu is in WeChat.

So whatever WeChat (Tencent) wants, Apple has to consider it. Otherwise, Chinese phone makers can and will provide more convenience.
Yes you can block everything, but with every specific service blocked you limit your ability to accept new users. There also legitimate banks that let you have 5-10 virtual cards or generate unique card each time you pay.

Spammers do have large number of unique phones in their farms as well as budget to have undetectible rooting and hardware ID faking. And Google Pay / Apple Pay as well as majority of banks actually do nothing to prevent you from adding your cards to 10 different phones.

Of course it's all makes lives harder for everyone who want to get a new account, but nothing including literal ID / passport and face verification make is impossible to bypass.
I've heard this, that and also blood clots forming in the brain. Maybe much more, we will see in upcoming years. Nasty disease
It's not even about the quality of signups.

It just will not solve the problem he's trying to solve. It will reduce low-effort and out-of-box tooling, but it'll also increase the value of successful networks, which will encourage better tooling and cover the mule costs.
