> You think Steven Pinker, Julian Assange, Richard Dawkins, John Cleese, Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali “[give] free speech a bad name”?

Yes.

John Cleese, for example, is just about to start a show on a channel that he thought was a "free speech" channel. Then he got annoyed that they hired Boris Johnson, who he described as a serial liar.

Who could have seen that coming, except anyone who was paying the slightest bit of attention?

And he's maybe the best of that particular bunch.
That is a valuable perspective and all, and I don't discredit it (or concern for curbing illegal immigration as a top policy priority in general), but I'm not sure it's that persuasive for the point you are trying to make.

Let me put it this way: pointing to one cogent article by a non-representative Trump supporter (you won't find many of them in academia, and the college-educated skew liberal/Dem) doesn't really make me change my mind about writing most of them off as racists based on my personal experience and what most of them say (which is not as cogent and reasonable as this guy's article).
Two thoughts:

1) There's no way to enforce this to private companies in the US without passing some sort of Federal law. I'm pretty certain no states have passed anything like this either.

2) So, we can assume the alliance is government agencies not paying ransomware. For the US, it's only the Federal government agreeing to this. If the County Court of Middle of Nowhere Nebraska gets ransomwared. The Feds can put all the pressure they want on them not to pay, but at the end of the day, they can't stop them from paying.
This caught my interest. What problems have you had? I had a T495 and was happy with it running Fedora. So much so, just ordered the latest P14s ryzen model as its replacement.

The T495 developed a fan problem just recently, but since it is out of warranty it was easier to get my employer to order a new machine than to figure out how to repair it. If it were my personal machine, I probably would have searched for parts and tried to repair it myself and keep using it...

Edit to add: I am in your mirror universe because it was bad experiences with Intel + NVIDIA in Thinkpads which motivated me to want to try AMD again. I don't mind pure Intel iGPU models, but find the combination nothing but trouble.

Not one person I've asked has responded that they would be willing to post their entire browser history on the open internet.

It's apparently pretty good at annoying people on HN who like to downplay its every achievement
I think you're very wrong. I think if most of us could even find a good job then we would stick with it. The problem is that a good job is extremely hard to find and a good job is a moving target. What is a good job five years ago for us might not be a good job anymore. Compensation, what you're working on, technologies used, the coworkers you have, the progression you want from your career, etc.

I think the reason some people on HN want to do their own thing is because the jobs we have suck so much and they feel that by doing their own thing they will take back control and be able to have the life they want.

I think it's somewhat delusional. Founding your own company, finding a great revenue stream, and getting adequate compensation with it is incredibly challenging and not a common route at all. If I want to make $500k+/yr, I am much better off joining a big public tech company.
> This new “basic” “pro” has only two thunderbolt 3 ports but “pro” “pro” has four thunderbolt 4 ports.

My understanding is that it can't be branded Thunderbolt 4 because it only supports one external monitor, but that it's effectively Thunderbolt 4 in every other respect.

The technical explanation for the limitation of the built-in display support is that the base SoCs have one Thunderbolt bus that supports 2 display outputs, one of which is used by the integrated display.

Still, there are workarounds: https://www.macworld.com/article/675869/how-to-connect-two-o...
Teachers absolutely should teach to the test. And individual teachers really shouldn't be in the business of deciding what to teach, either.

Why is there an assumption that what is on the test is inherently worthless but every individual teacher is qualified to design an entire curriculum?
Yes, people don't just vent because the boss's door is open, they vent because some pressure has been built up. Closing the door doesn't make the drama go away, it just buries it underground were it will continue to make certain groups of employees who are unable to ignore it continuously more uncomfortable and less dedicated to their jobs.

Doesn't matter if it's fabricated.

It promotes a philosophy that is contrary to Freedom of Speech.

You can't label some speech "dangerous" because you don't like it.

They don't like others labeling speech "misinformation" or "disinformation".

But here's the thing, the act of stating that something is "misinformation" or "disinformation", is, in and of itself, an act of exercising Freedom of Speech.

Nuvia has been working on this tech for years before being snapped up by Qualcomm. And before that, those same engineers had worked on Apple silicon for years. Why do you keep thinking this is an overnight thing?
Push for me isn’t edicts. It’s providing support and opportunity. I send my daughter to extra math lessons. She didn’t need them she was solidly an average. But getting those has really improved her level. I have to spend time with her, make learning fun, help with homework, coax reasoning out of an opinionated 12 yr old, etc, etc.

It’s not a “do this or else”. It’s basically let’s do it together.
I restored my Macbook just one hour ago with crappy USB-C USB-A cable, god bless the libimobiledevice creator.
That really is a great question. I had a long answer but all that seems needed is to compare the average human intellect with the greatest among us. The difference isn't that big. Memory sports people can recall about 5000 times as much. Compared to a computer both sit on the comical end of the spectrum.

Then we compare what kind of advantages people get out of their greater intellect and it seems very little buys quite a lot.

Add to that a network of valuable contacts, a social media following, money men chasing success, powerful choice of words, perhaps other reputations like scientific rigor?

The only thing missing seems a suitable arena for it to duel the humans. Someone will build that eventually?
I agree - especially for the last few years, when in order to sell a house all you had to do was put in on the market - and then get 10-15-20 offers at or above listing price - no agent deserves a 6% commission for simply getting something listed on zillow or MLS where in recent years, the houses just sold themselves.
Come on man. How can you can you call them disconnected? One chap is funding a blimp company, another is building jet packs and flying cars. They know what people need.
Freedom to pick a job with work that you love can be much better than doing your own thing. I am a scientist working at a biotech startup. I "hired" a CEO and a few other folks to run the business so that I can do the science. I didn't even have to front my own money.
You explicitly configure the cache, as laid out here: https://bcachefs.org/Caching/

In the common case that you mentioned, data present on the full SSD would be overwritten "in standard LRU fashion"; meaning the "Least Recently Used" data would no longer be cached. New data would be written to the SSD while a background "rebalance thread" would copy that data to the HDD. I assume that the "sync" command would wait for the "rebalance thread" to finish, though I will admit my own ignorance on that front.
So negotiate that with your agent if that's what you prefer.

It is an interesting approach to loading screens, and personally I would have expected way more games to use such a feature. Not AAAs, of course, but indie games.

I clearly recalled having read the news about the patent of this having expired a while ago, and from a quick search, a while ago, has been 8 years ago https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/12/loading-screen-game-pa...

Lol. We struggle to do that with the banal malware that currently exists.
Exactly. Have some sort of chain of cyclers that each cycle independently, launched/spaced (hehe) eg. a month apart. As they cycle, only one of them will be closest to Mars, that gets the uplink from Mars, then relay the data to the cycler behind it, that relays to the one behind etc etc until we reach the cycler that is closest to Earth, in mere minutes.
Can have laser links between them even maybe.

Lets call it PlanetLink :-)
The EU learned its lesson. DSA and DMA enforcement is not left to national authorities. The Irish DPC clearly thinks it is a subsidiary of the IDA, the agency charged with attracting multinational headquarters to Ireland.
> But it boggles my mind how people can assume, with a straight face, that they are equipped to educate their child alone - something which is normally a profession for which you have to study O(years) (and even then most people aren’t really good at).

The key assumption here is that the expertise and years of studying translates to desirable outcomes. The large expansion of homeschooling suggesting by the article suggests a great rise in people who no longer believe that the expertise promoted by teaching schools is actually relevant to teach their children.

After all, mass public schooling is only about a century old and default human experience in many ways has always been closer to what we call homeschooling.
Arguably any period of history where the majority of people lived as subsistence farmers and rarely interacted with others not part of the household was an anomaly though, and very different to how pre-agricultural societies lived.

Good catch, thanks. I updated my reply. it's a good idea that has some backing in literature and I do think we'll see it soon enough.
I’ve been playing with ChatGPT code generation to make entire sites with flask, python, html+js+css, backed with SQLite db and it’s amazing. I’ve had it write like 5k lines that are all live in prod and working (not much traffic lol but still).

A huge huge factor is knowing the limitations and getting better at prompting. And identifying likely hallucinations and asking for risks etc.

I’ve found it best with tech I don’t know well (I’m an android dev using it to make websites, something I haven’t done myself in like 15 years).

Most of the coolest stuff for me is help with sysadmin and running the server. The ability to debug gunicorn errors is great.

I do have to modify the code it outputs as the project grows and it loses context, but honestly the context limits are the biggest hurdle for bigger projects and those will be lifted soon.

Edit: Most recent site I made with like 95% code from ChatGPT is https://cosmictrip.space/ which generates prompts with GPT-4 that are then used to generate space images with DALL-E.

It's a simple site but there is a secret adventure game I'm working on (GPT+Dall-E) that is open-ended image+text AI-driven game. I'm hoping to launch before Nov 6 with DALL-E 3 API (hopefully...!). The adventure game is also written like 95%+ by ChatGPT.

I've had such great success with it coding that I'm using the GPT-4 API with an agent I'm making (everyone is huh). I have function calling hooked up to generate structured subtasks that the agent can then write the code for, and support for files to include context, chat with your code, etc. It's not ready to show but the GPT-4 code generation abilities are really incredible - but you have to be experienced at prompting. Your first prompts aren't likely to be great, which is why I'm hoping my agent can have success. The idea of the agent I'm writing is a Jira/kanban style board where you have AI coders assigned to tasks that you can approve and modify etc. The tickets should automatically move across the columns as the AI checks the work etc.

These US fees always seem astonishingly high to me. Here, something more like 1.5% would be typical.

Very much so. Watching the Last Week Tonight segment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzsZP9o7SlI) on this recently, in a startling number of states, a one time declaration that you're homeschooling effectively drops the kids out of the system with zero oversight from that point on.

You get things like a Christian family whose "curriculum" for their daughters was: listen to classical music, bible listening 20 minutes/day, handwriting, bible memorization, exercise 15/day (not great so far, but wait for it): clean room 6/week, fold laundry 5/week, clean living room 5/week, clear off bar 6/week, tidy shelves in dining room 3/week, tidy stereo cabinet 2/week, clean brown cupboard in pantry 5/week, clean storeroom 1/week, tidy blue chest, dust piano, clean and vacuum, clean hallway, make bed...

Study identifies physical features in babies born to mothers who used fentanyl
To clarify:

The initial claim was, lxgr: "If you were initially fine with software emulation (i.e. Rosetta 2), as were many small and large software projects for macOS or Unix, you had no need whatsoever to get a DTK."

The subsequent claim was, xvector: "Rosetta 2 was straightforward and surprisingly fast, requiring zero tweaking or user interaction. Most people never even noticed."

Posters, myself included, are reacting against these claims, as they both put the cart before the horse, and the second gives only an end user perspective.

Devs had verified with a DTK that Rosetta2 ran their programs acceptably. Keep in mind patches had to be issued for programs which did not check for the presence of AVX, AVX2 or AVX512, else they would crash. This invalidates the first claim. It shows why the second claim is only the second half of the story.

So the logic follows a line rather than a circle.

Also nobody made the claim that: “And Apple made test hardware available for those people, But not enough for all apps to be tested”
I broadly agree with your statements that in general religion brings better mental health to a population and that there's a void of community in populations that aren't centered around religion. That's something I've personally felt, growing up in the Christian church and existing outside of it as an adult. I feel like saying there's never adverse effects or that "irreligiosity does not scale" misses the point in a few ways.

First, there's pretty obvious harmful effects of religion: on the minor end, feeling ostracized if you happen to be different than what the stated beliefs say are correct, i.e. being queer in the Christian church and ostracized or driven to suicide for it. (Or even more fundamental issues, like taking issue with men being the head of households.) On the extreme end, you have crusades, pogroms, wars that engulf nations. Obviously relatively harmful. Or even on the individual scale, ritual killings of those who defy the religious order.

I'd also posit that, again from the Christian faith, believing there's an all-powerful god who will sort out justice in the afterlife leads to negative outcomes here on Earth: believing you'll have everlasting life in heaven is of course going to limit your investment in systems here on Earth. I've had religious people cite (paraphrased) that "god will sort it all out" when I ask why they don't push to directly address more of the problems in the world. There's an abdication of responsibility I've found relatively common amongst my religious family on such issues. (Not universally, notably, but still.)

Regardless, for those who have "lost faith" on epistemological grounds, what is the alternative to irreligiosity? I don't "choose" not to believe in the Christian (or any other) god, I'm unconvinced by the evidence put forward by their evangelists. I have no philosophically sound alternative to atheism unless and until I encounter convincing evidence to the contrary.

I also worry about people "giving up" some of their philosophical beliefs just to belong to that kind of community. I've talked before [0] about how other more extreme communities (e.g. flat earth) aren't so much comprised of people who believe the premise of the group so much as people who _want to belong somewhere_.

> But irreligiosity does not scale

What's the alternative? The atheist segment of the population giving up portions of their ethical and philosophical autonomy to churches in exchange for a sense of community? Continuing to enable the hold of said autonomy over those who believe largely because they aren't exposed to other epistemologies because their community center discourages it?

I don't think that data gave them anything more than what testing on a few consumer computers in different price ranges would have.

> By blurring opinion and fact, this Declaration is not helpful.

There are a lot of things that were often stated as if they were facts, that turned out to be wrong, with deadly results. The "experts" are only shown to be wrong well after the fact in many cases, only because of free inquiry.

We need free discourse if we are to have a free society. Otherwise, we end up with blind faith in "Experts" whose statements can't lawfully be falsified.

Good luck with that.
The list is long, and the US 1st Amendment echoes through the declaration. So I only looked for UK signatories; an awful lot of those are kooks, controversialists and provocateurs. It's almost as if they've purged the list of anyone halfway sensible.

surely this depends on the actual mail provider you use.

i appreciate its impossible to prove a negative (everyone could be doing something they have no evidence or documentation of doing), but given my mail provider both says that you have to mark a selection before they'll share such information with partners and that marking emails as spam still trains your own user specific spam filter, i don't think (and an really hoping) this is not a universal thing.
Yeah I can't say I ever experienced the values of the state at school, unless the values of the state are "survival of the fittest" and "might makes right".

It's really difficult because a lot of the resources and groups are created by and supported by this very religious group that homeschools.

There is still a very wide margin though. My wife was homeschooled because she did gymnastics at a fairly high level when she was young and so scheduling was easier for her that way. Her older sister wasn't homeschooled hardly at all though.
In the last decade in all companies that I've worked the biggest issue by far in all of them were vendor lock-in and how the teams coped around tools that did not evolved with their problems along the time and the switch cost was high.

I know that Open Telemetry has it's own issues, but between low ergonomics and amenities and a lock-in; nowadays I will choose the first.

Alas the USPTO is happy to grant patents on anything under the sun, so you’ll never know when someone shows up with a patent for ”simulating a television broadcast via decompressing stored video on a computer” or something similarly broad.

I pretty much always wait 6 months or so for Mac upgrades on whatever machine is important to me. There seems to pretty consistently be regular bugfix updates for the few months following a release.
On a technical level that's true. But the actual intention here is "places where you can see the sky", not places with low light pollution. Air quality is highly seasonal, and winter tends to have far clearer skies for assorted reasons. Wouldn't you be a bit upset if you booked a place way out in the country for stargazing and every rancher had just lit their fields ablaze?

That said it's probably asking quite a lot to composite that kind of data together in any meaningful way. You need a lot of domain knowledge for that.
