It's a strange specific pleasure to read things uploaded on edu personal websites, texts that someone copied out by hand into their word processor in the 90's, complete with `<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="Microsoft Word 97">`

Unfortunately this is a pretty bad copy of the text. I recommend seeking out a better version. It's from the collection Kiss Kiss, a scan of which is available on archive.org

There are obvious formatting issues and a slew of typos, but there are also whole missing sentences, and the last line has been miscopied as

> 'Isn't he sweet?' she cried, looking up at Landy with big bright eyes. 'Isn't he heaven? I just can't wait to get him home.'

instead of

> 'Isn't he sweet?' she cried, looking up at Landy with big bright eyes. 'Isn't he lovely? I just can't wait to get him home.'
I think you're overthinking this. You can just put the age-restricted portion of the website (which for some websites might be 99% of their content, but I think that's fine) behind a login page that verifies whatever age token you come up with. If the only information you can send to the website is your credentials, and the website can't send any "unsuitable" information to you, I'm not sure what the issue with allowing HTTP access is.
There is one paragraph at the start where I thought "yep, the author just answered his own question here":

Only in software, it’s fine if a program runs at 1% or even 0.01% of the possible performance. Everybody just seems to be ok with it.

So yeah, everybody is ok with it. Move on.
FWIW, almost anyone can submit almost anything to arXiv.
> as we have seen in Syria, where Assad is still president

You’re comparing a proxy war to hypothetical direct action.

> they can't even provide enough ammunition to Ukraine

This is nonsense. Can versus might decide not to, one. And are, moreover.

> Who produces all these drones? Right, China

Russia has no robotic warfare to speak of. Its top-of-the line kit is being reliably shot down by out-of-date NATO fare. (Their hypersonic were taken out by circa 1990 Patriot batteries.)

China has a serious drone repository, but it’s not in play. Instead we’re seeing Iranian drones fight Chinese consumer drones operated by Ukraine, as well as Ukraine’s own drone production ramp up and learn. NATO drones are way too advanced for this battle and not a significant part of what’s being provided to Kyiv.
I have not done any empirical research into this, but I have noticed that there are certain police departments you don't see having tons of issues in the news, so my theory is that in some departments the culture of having high integrity and doing the right thing might be the norm.

You sometimes see this come out where one department refuses to cover for another department or its officers doing bad things. Obviously the goal would for that to be the norm instead of the exception.
What a phenomenal amount of work. My favourite bit is the annual reports for investors, complete with accounts and a statement from the CEO!

Yes, there are tons of these sorts of circuits. It's something that is often needed, and these sorts of circuits have been used before ultra-cheap microcontrollers were a thing. A turing-complete computer is serious overkill for this sort of application.

I'm not sure if there is a single-chip solution (although I'd be a bit surprised if there isn't), but the fundamental circuit isn't that ambitious. Using a very low-end microcontroller is likely less expensive, though.
It does. However, instead of trying and sometimes failing to support Python in the shell, Marcel limits Python to well-defined contexts, always delimited by parens. Also, Marcel has a Python API so that you can use shell-like commands and piping inside of Python programs.

Just sayin', the OTA part is fairly mundane implementation-wise, flipping bits. The decision to engineer a system around it and have it in the requirements is maybe more audacious. Also, the technology involved with us still being able to radio into these remore devices at all is amazing and the unsung hero here.

Edit: If you go to the FSW section here, you can read a little bit of what amounts to release notes for the onboard software changes:

https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~pbarfuss/VIMChallenges.pdf

Includes a cute anecdote about dealing with a randomly flipped bit in memory.

My favorite bit:

"A CCS FSW patch was developed and implemented in 1995, and linked on the spacecraft in 2006 for V1 and 2005 for V2 to automatically restart some of the critical functions in the event of an Error entry. This patch was exercised in flight in 2014, nearly 20 years after it was installed, when one of the CCS processors went into an error entry on V1; the patch worked as designed."

The release timing of birdwatch is unimportant, it wasn't available for my region. Great feature anyway and Twitter is better now, I don't really care who takes the credit for it.

Anyway, I don't know why one wouldn't click an article in a tweet to see what's all about but fine - maybe doesn't work the same for everyone. AFAIK We don't have other option than sticking to anecdotes and personal experience since no credible study was made on it.

I always click on articles if I can't form my opinion from a headline. No, the person posting the article doesn't count because I click the article to check out why this person says this thing.
> With this setting, the browser would open only pages that declare that they are safe for kids

What is safe content?

Is the Bible safe content? Is the Koran? etc.

What about news stories about Israel? Hamas? etc.
This sort of willful ignorance is disparaging to see. Surely you must see a difference between an ad block that's clearly differentiated from the main program (ads before a movie plays, ad breaks during TV) and an endless feed of content that has no clear delineation between 'content' and 'product sponsership'. You might well be fine believing that billboards are the pinnacle of advertising, but there's been about 160 years worth of progress in the ad space since those were the big thing.

> Why are targeted ads the thing we should fear for our kids?

Again, you seem to be either defensive or intentionally misconstruing the point. These types of problems shouldn't invoke fear in people. I think you're getting yourself too mixed up in the idea that [X modern issue] is fearmongering and that nothing bad ever happens.

Kids are dumb and impressionable. If they spend 8 hours a day scrolling through an endless feed of cool posts featuring cool products being worn / used by cool people, they will absolutely get attached to the idea that it's normal and expected to have that thing. That's manipulative and disgusting marketing, and it's genuinely worrying that you don't seem to care at all.

> Kid watches superman movie and is shown an ad for batman vs here is an ad for a random movie

Again, intentionally misconstruing the idea... it's more like "kid spends 2/3 of their time awake being mined for data and having every interaction across every platform cross-correlated to ensure that *a company* can profit off of them". I suppose that's perfectly healthy and normal to you, that a company can know more about a child and exactly what they do and what they like than any human does.

We've been conditioned to the current levels of revenue in our governments and that everything is "too expensive" to get done. This cuts off any discussion of what can be done by government on the other end and becomes a circular argument.
It will be a while. There is a large group of people who don’t willingly uses new tools when those tools enable all comers to make better, “competing” work product.

I agree. Beautiful documentation helped me a lot early on when getting into the JS ecosystem.
I think it counts as surveillance when it's published material, but surveillance of public material does not seem so troublesome to me.

For ex. if these teachers had instead published their complaints in old-fashioned letters-to-the-editor in print newspapers, I don't think anyone would be complaining that the government reads the newspapers. You could still complain about the chilling of dissent and the waste of resources.
Ask HN: How is your startup doing?
Startup founders/employees, how's it going?

I know that VC funding has been harder to come by lately, and the "macroeconomic environment" may not be helping either.

I just want to know, for founders/employees at startups, how have things been going?

Has growth kept on track? Are you worried about your next round?
It is an investment. You build brand loyalty by selling a safe device. Train kids to only use your OS. Then when they're 18 hopefully they stick with your OS.

Furthermore, OS makers could lobby for additional age gates. I.e. a child phone for ages 15 and under, a teenager phone for ages 16-17, an adult phone for 21.
The EFF would still need a defendant to defend. It sounds like that person is not interested in pursuing a legal battle, so we have already met the end of this road.

Military pilots are only provided performance boosters in special circumstances, not as a general daily event. Such circumstances include long ocean crossings when flying as the only pilot, or in extended combat tempo operations where constant sixteen+ hour days can wear you down. Even when provided such medications it is under the direct care of a flight surgeon who is usually embedded in the flying unit and knows in depth the medical history of each of those pilots. Additionally, pilots are tested in advance of their reactions to such medications so there's less of a surprise when the need for them arises. They're also only issued by the relevant medical authority and voluntarily taken or not taken as the situation dictates.

Am I correct that they propose to bend your leg (while it's in the air after a ground contact) with an additional force, which is used to conserve energy in an attached spring. Upon a next contact with ground this energy will be released, which gives a better boost than ordinary jumping stilts, since they are loaded only at the moment of contact?

It's interesting I remember an article that explains how Genius.com utilized a unique method of watermarking their lyrics by embedding patterns of straight spaces and non-breaking spaces within the lyrics, that approach seems to be a more robust method of avoiding "text cleaning", which is a common when you scrape text. The method from the article uses Unicode characters that could be easily "clean".
> has metastasized into a force of misery and evil.

Has much is metastasizing, and how much is it just perceived to have done so because of failing media literacy about the internet? Basic late 90s/early 2000s internet safety was to assume untrustworthyness for everything. And regardless of how well a source proves itself, you keep giving it the side-eye.

But, where would people learn that media literacy today? The people and institutions that are branded as "serious" in our society don't have any financial incentive to want their audience to know critical reading/listening. Quite the opposite actually.
Why not use @mswjs/source?
>Again: sell me on how less context is better than more.

When the context is not enough, you well seek to expand it. The problem with headlines is that they wrongly give you the impression of having enough context.
> Under your proposal, there's an inevitable lawsuit where a bunch of people get paid out for allowing their children to get goatse'd because 'kidpxrn.biz' falsely put on the safe-for-kidz header

There could be an organization that reviews site content and moderation policies, ensures that site operator and owner are not foreigners (so that they can be put to jail) and issues cryptographic proof of verification that the website would display in an HTTP header. As website owners are not anonymous they will not risk a jail term to put unsafe content on the site.
> I expect at the confluence of a lot of different parties/positions (domestic politics, geopolitics, advertising, anti-piracy, “save the children,” anti-terrorism, etc) who have the money, vested interest, and ideological motivation to accomplish this.

Charles Simonyi developed Bravo, the first WYSIWYG word processor, for the Alto at Xerox PARC.

He later wrote Microsoft Word, and other parts of what became MS Office, at Microsoft, where he was Chief Architect:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Simonyi

He designed what is now called Hungarian Notation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation

Word uses the famous piece table data structure -- also from PARC -- which is how "fast saves" work.

As a result Simonyi is a billionaire and was the first ever two-time space tourist:

"Ryanair ROBLOX is a non-profit group which intends no infringement to the trademarks of Ryanair.
We do not accept real cash and exist for the purpose of online gaming and enjoyment, as with other flight simulator games on ROBLOX and beyond, such as flight simulator games. We are passionate about Ryanair and working on components including this website have helped to develop the skills of our staff and passengers for future use in the industry.

We would comply with any copyright requests or simple complaints but have not received any to date. We are therefore in a position to keep operating, developing and expanding. The experience and knowledge gained by some staff, including in website development, may even be a bonus for future prospective careers within Ryanair. These are profoundly vast achievements, including website development, coding with Java, airline management and operation, creating SOPs, implementing trainings and more.

We hope that our consistent love and advertisement of Ryanair, if seen, will be welcomed! As we are a virtual airline, we pose no threat or harm."

Right but was it still going to be a big raise? I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out? Did you reject the job because it was a step down in pay, or simply because of the tile?

Usually reqs at Google are for two levels. So a manager can hire a lead, and it can either be senior or staff. G has strict perf requirements so people are much quicker to downlevel and then promote vs. hire at L6 and then fire.
>why would they degrade the output of a commercial product?

For PR? It's not a degradation for legitimate uses of AI. It only degrades output being used in an attempt to mislead people. Someone using an LLM to e.g. translate would usually be fine admitting they used it. I'm working under the assumption this isn't intended for something like a code model where it would break things, but only for output being used as readable text.
I had a friend working with a well known startup founder. The founder was interested in me from what my friend told him, all he wanted to see was my github profile. All of my github projects are private. That was the end of that, even after he already knew that my experience was perfect for their company. So ya, some people definitely put too much emphasis on the github profile.

My thoughts exactly. While there are some categories which are easy to agree on as being unsuitable for kids (and some adults, for that matter), you will inevitably find such content restrictions used to attempt to legislate morality.

Look at Florida and their "don't say gay" bill. They want kids to remain oblivious to the existence of LGBT people, using "think of the children" rhetoric, and I have no doubt they would use "child friendly internet" legislation to ban even the most milquetoast acknowledgment of our existence, because they see it all as "indoctrination" and "grooming." As a lesbian, I find this abhorrent, but even if you're not LGBT, you should be afraid of these kinds of laws, because the Christian right will inevitably use them against you, too. If you're atheist (and if you use HN, you probably are), believe in the theory of evolution, believe in climate change, are a person of color...you get the picture.

And then there's the fact that the internet is international. Content about women's suffrage, for instance, would likely be deemed "inappropriate for children" in much of the Arab world, both because most of those nations are not democratic, but also because they want to avoid empowering women.

The suggestions to "just use the MPA rating system" are bad because, even if those ratings were objective (they're not), the good thing about them is that they're not legislatively enforced. If a child wants to see an R-rated movie, the theater won't sell them a ticket directly, but if they're accompanied by a parent, they can see it, and that's probably the best system we can hope for: a voluntary system where parents can allow their kids access to what they feel is appropriate. And for all the flaws that has, it's better than having CPS take your kids because you let them read the wikipedia page about being trans.

Check out marcel: https://marceltheshell.org, and https://github.com/geophile/marcel. Both marcel and nushell start with the idea of piping structured data instead of strings, which is incredibly powerful. (This also applies to osh. I am the author of osh and marcel.)

Marcel (and osh) rely on Python types and language where typical shells have sublanguages. So instead of awk or find and their sublanguages, you just use Python. Instead of piping strings, you pipe streams of Python values.

Marcel lets you use Python on the commmand line. It also has an API which allows you to use shell-like commands inside of Python programs.
