I'm not a receiver in taxes, I'm a software engineer who pays far more than I will ever receive in taxes. It's fine, they're not taking half my life they're taking (for my last tax year) about 30% of my gross income. I wouldn't suddenly get 4 months off if I had that money back. My salary negotiation takes taxes into account. I just voted for two tax levies one being for schools where I don't have and never will have children going because I have a private school I want to send my future kids.

I'm not saying only women can suffer, I'm saying you literally can't grasp how much of a hell the world you're imagining with forced marriage is. And of course I'd kill my husband, in your world he's my government appointed rapist whose babies I will be forced to have. What other option do I have? Right now today that would be more than enough to qualify for self defense. You apparently think this is fine and the pregnancy is "just" 9 months of your civic duty while me and every other woman will say is the furthest thing from fine possible. You're arguing that "death squads" is too hyperbolic but I'd rather take the firing squad. Men would suffer in your hell too but you don't see any of the downsides I guess.
This doesn't surprise me, not because I have any real world knowledge or experience of warfare, but because I used to have fun taking out tanks in Unreal Tournament 2005 with more maneuverable vehicles armed with energy weapons. I guess this is a case of sci fi becoming reality.

(I mean no disrespect to those fighting on the front lines by trivializing their experience with a video game metaphor; I pray for safety for both sides and for eventual peace).

You can still include the git hash or a git tag/release version info, since the reproducer has the same git repo anyway.

But including timestamp of build would necessitate “spoofing” the timestamp by the reproducer to be the same as the original.

“Only a net can help. And I predict that soon we will have to put up such nets above our cities, or at least government buildings, all over Europe.”

That’s quite some food for thought, especially in a non-war context.

Reminds me about the short film “Slaughterbots” [1] and that one Black Mirror episode with the weaponized robotic bees.

This is less about AI and more about usage of personal data.

Some form of GDPR is still in effect in the UK and this law grants people control over how their personal data is used and processed.

This company is taking user's personal data (such as pictures and their likeness which can be considered a unique identifier) and is using them in a way that the data subjects did not consent to and is generally against their interest.

That is the problem. Whether it's done with AI or with manual labor is irrelevant.

The PTSD of veterans of the russian invasion of Ukraine will be horrific.

At any point, a drone that you often can't hear or see can drop a grenade or mortar shell that might kill all your squad but leave you unhurt. Or kill one person next to you in the trench. Or your vehicle may just explode with no warning.

Sure, it could be argued that is not "worse" than other wars, but how will these veterans react to drones in the sky back in civilian life?

Did you mean TI calculators? I have never seen anyone use an HP calculator in the American education system, much less one being required.
Man I really wonder if anyone working at DJI ever imagined one day the internet would be filled with footages of Russian main battle tanks being blown up by the toys they built.
Bro, so what u saying, u saying millions of us are effectively Rogan simps in a parasocial relationship?

These relationships are on both sides (e.g AOC on the left).
Fact that pi is irrational may point at something fundamental missing in our knowledge system.

It appears that we cannot precisely measure circle length/area in units of radius and vice versa. Basically, the unity as such does not exist in our knowledge, nor can we truly comprehend infinity.

Perhaps, unity and infinity are just our abstractions for something else.

To be fair not that many if you want alternative to the Air and size/weight is a priority. Also.. I’m not sure what are you trying to say? That there is something wrong about criticizing Apple’s design choices?
Sherman does not appear to understand what waterfall is or why people rewrite code.

Waterfall specifies that phases of a single implementation are performed one after the other, completing one before the next phase begins. The classic example lists this as "design->coding->testing". What Sherman is describing is "iterative design," where you build something, put it in front of customers, then make changes suggested by customers (or maybe there was a list of features you wanted to add yourself.)

Throwing away code is okay if it leads to "better" code where better means faster, easier to fix, smaller code size, etc. Often you do not know what the issues with your code are until you write it. Writing code for "experimental" purposes is decidedly iterative, not waterfall.

> They can theoretically model any function, but the number of parameters needed means in practice they can't.

Even theoretically, no they can't. They can theoretically model any continuos function.

Plus, even for continuous functions, the theorem only proves that, for any function, there exists some NN that approximates it to arbitrary precision. It is not known whether there is some base NN + finite training set that could be used to arrive at that target NN using some algorithm in a finite number of steps.

As we computerize more and more, it also makes our networks more and more sensitive to computer/network attacks.
On a much smaller scale, I used to use our CI server to build and deploy our CI server. But if it went down it was a huge pain. Not really worth it for the fuzzy feeling, just make it build offline.
Mortars are extremely simple devices with similar effectiveness.

If you can build a frag grenade you can probably make an effective mortar. It’s more difficult to make something that can hit large targets at 2+ miles, but not extremely so.

For someone who claims to criticize "Western" thought, this appears to be quite deeply steeped in a particular Western prejudice, namely that conviviality contrasts with order and obedience. From a Confucian perspective, they are one and the same - the "demands made upon them by others" are the very basis enabling people to engage with society and to therefore realize themselves as moral subjects. Without the demands of productivity (or, equivalently, the demands of effective statecraft), conviviality is therefore impossible, or, at the very least, meaningless.
You would just either not include the timestamp at all in all builds, or set 0, so the build date is 1970 everywhere.
I do hope there is backlash from this, it's not like Microsoft hasn't known about the jank controllers for some time that work still, but removing them so long into the lifespan of the product just angers everyone.

Most affected will be those with "hitbox" products that are mostly self-made or hobbyist-focused devices at least, which they'll be the most angry and vocal about it decrying the affront.

It'll just cause a sea of current Chinese crap-gadgets to hit the landfills, then Chinese manufacturers will clone whatever security chip Microsoft mandates, and start shipping them again by the millions.
> Uk is very often done by foreign designers and Creative Directors and artists. I work in this so I would have some idea.

So now it's not the UK but British designers that are terrible. Make your mind up.
> The gap between Military and Civilian tech is shrinking.

Maybe it's vacillating. From the it's easier to destroy than to create perspective, this feels like the natural trend of warfare.

We already had inexpensive explosives. The difference here is a worthwhile delivery system is getting cheap.

It can be argued that drones themselves have been making big changes across all kinds of industries and this is part of that wave.

Drones may turn to be as pivotal as locomotion, air-conditioning and the internet.
I really don't understand why they allow calculators that complex. I got a math degree in a place where only a non-programmable calculator was allowed
Ah, yes, I do agree on the quality – it certainly can't compete in any way with high-quality software or dedicated encoders.

But arguably it doesn't have to; many real-time applications (e.g. surveillance cameras) have local bandwidth to spare and/or don't care too highly about quality, and compatibility with older viewing devices without re-encoding is a priority.
They say it can encode 1080p60 (for the context, I guess it's real time) using just one processor (again, I'm guessing he means "one core"), and with a better quality than the RPi4 hardware encoder. They think it could be possible to encode 4K at 24fps with some work, but they're not right now going for that optimizations.
You can do both! Neither work in isolation.
My Grade 11 social studies teacher would often, (as in several times per class), pound his fist into his other hand and declare "More bang per buck! More dead per Dollar!" in reference to the incentive structures of modern warfare.

So many aggreived parties in the world with the need to explode from a distance, but on a limited budget. What's the alternative? A bomber plane? A howitzer? A suicidal dude? Nobody's got time for that. Cheap Kamikaze FPVs are the next big tech market and it's blowing up, like right now!
Hopefully you're managing DNS as code, so you have a repo commit log that can give you that context.
Exactly. I don't say it is not possible for somebody to have 400 original patents, but I think it is incompatible with also having a full time job as a CEO of a large company if you had to do them yourself.

Also it is worth noting that ideas are a dime a dozen. Years ago I red Getting Things Done by David Allen and I set up my GTD system in Ultra Recall. Since then, I had the idea for the best personal information management system ever. Too bad, I carried the idea with me for too long and never executed on it. Recently I discovered that somebody had very similar idea and the application is called Notion.

See, it does not matter if you have an idea, it only has any worth if you can also execute on it.
A bit different but when I was cycling during the pandemic, I got into https://wandrer.earth where the goal is to bike every street in your area.
Barring some far future medical scifi stuff becoming real, that wouldn't be my ideal. It would mean we stopped striving for anything so completely that zero people went too far and accidentally offed themselves and that's a stagnant and depressing culture to live in.

Also barring some far future medical scifi stuff, it would also mean nobody lived a long and healthy life and went to bed when they were very old and had something give out overnight and just didn't wake up. That also seems like a pretty sad place to live, because that would seem like the ideal to me. If I'm not going to die miscalculating a win suit run and hitting a mountain, or discovering a new exotic form of matter (that accidentally vaporizes me), then I want to live a long life and randomly go to bed one night to not wake up, ideally post 85 years old, or even better post 100 years old. Having a reason to ask the doctor to kill me seems really sad (while also being understandably necessary in certain cases, i.e. I'm not waiting for the cancer to incapacitate me in utter agony for very long before I tap out on my above ideal).
Even if you were logged in the threads would be FUBAR. "Twitter Threads" are mostly for the gratification of people who post them, not the ones that read them. The one intervention I'd like to see in HN is for the links to X to go away. It's not like you're allowed to link from Twitter to the outside world anymore without being punished, the rest of the world should do the obvious thing.
Also not a nomad but have done a major move with school aged kids and it has a noticeable impact on them. It was rough and they really missed friends and family and familiar places. I can't imagine doing that every few years, especially once they've bonded with others. Then there's the physical part of moving which is different for 4 people vs. 2 - so much stuff with kids - bikes, toys, clothes, etc.

My advice would be to think about it in case you change your mind about the nomad part - you don't want to be settled and discover you now need to move because of a situation like bad schools, elderly parent, not safe etc. Maybe another way to state it is to find places that have potential for a decade or two because as you raise children your thoughts and opinions about things change.
"The Whole Earth Catalog" was a groundbreaking publication that first appeared in 1968 and continued intermittently until 1998. It was created by Stewart Brand and his team as a tool for the counterculture and the burgeoning environmental movement, and it played a significant role in shaping the ethos of the 1960s and 1970s.

The catalog contained product listings, essays, and articles on a wide variety of topics, including alternative energy, sustainable living, self-sufficiency, and personal empowerment. It was known for its eclectic mix of content, its DIY ethos, and its commitment to a holistic, systems-oriented view of the world.

"We are as gods and might as well get good at it. So far, remotely done power and glory—as via government, big business, formal education, church—has succeeded to the point where gross defects obscure actual gains. In response to this dilemma and to these gains a realm of intimate, personal power is developing—power of the individual to conduct his own education, find his own inspiration, shape his own environment, and share his adventure with whoever is interested. Tools that aid this process are sought and promoted by the WHOLE EARTH CATALOG."

The quote by Steve Jobs in his famous stanford commencement speech - stay hungry, stay foolish - was from Oct 1974 edition, last page.

The morphic resonance guys claim this is proof. And I for one do find it a little unbelievable that these seeds are travelling the world, such that for any cubic foot of air you find a seed. Show me the math on that.
I realize that tank armor is weak at the top, but it's amazing to me that a few kilograms of explosives dropped anywhere on a tank can disable it. Are these drones even using a shaped charge?
I don't think many people appreciated 10 years ago how social media, and specifically the algorithms that surface content, would undermine civilization.
Oh, they definitely weren’t prepared but if anything I’d have expected them to lean more on cyber attacks since they’re faster than getting tanks out of long-term storage and shipping them across the country. There have been some reports of activity but I found it interesting how what was widely predicted to be a major threat has been so marginal.
I believe so (not entirely sure), but there’s a mobile app now and a new kind of machine where you just tap your card and out comes a pre-validated ticket that you can put in your pocket and ride. The regular ones that need to be validated are a trap for unsuspecting tourists.
Compassion is more dangerous than sociopathy. Sociopaths are transactional, and often follow the rules on a transactional basis.

To conduct a genocide, one needs compassion. In the way people are here having fantasies of dangerous dogs biting children, likewise similar fantasies of danger abound -- compassion for imagined victims driving overwhelming oppression.

I dont consider this morality, quite the opposite. Morality is deliberative, it takes into account the particular, it is a response to the concrete reality not the imagined.
"For Ukrainians, the video clip of a Hamas drone destroying an Israeli main battle tank by dropping a grenade was a film they had seen before."

Powerful models are scarce (currently), and in any case GPUs definitely are so I’m not sure this is a good line of argument if you want less overreach here.

AFAICT there doesn’t need to be active combat for DPA to be used, and it seems like it got most of its teeth from the Cold War which was… cold.

> The White House is really just…

That’s definitely one interpretation but not the only one.
True, but the amount of people that need a calculator while not at a computer is dwindling. I can imagine it's still a thing in manufacturing though.
I couldn't do that myself! I might be able to buy one of those, but then if there's a chance they could be banned at any time if they're detected is it a viable business model?

Not including the fact if you control the hardware you know things like max trigger presses per second, so if you detect an order of magnitude more than you assume possible you'd catch hackers there too.

Edit: I'm not saying I have all the answers here, but modded controllers and M&Ks made to look like controllers have been a bane in my online gaming life for years so I'm keen for any steps moving towards fair (competitive) gaming.
Ask HN: Do you know what is going on at Wise?
So my general impression is that Wise (the FinTech company/ previously TransferWise) generally has (had?) great reputation for excellent customer service and a good product. I certainly appreciated unparalleled service for them until they froze my account a few weeks ago and changed my incoming US bank details with 2 working days' notice (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37925678).

I thought this was a coincidence, but since then I've read or heard a bunch of reports and maybe it is not in fact a coincidence.

- Changed US bank details at short notice, caused operational chaos for anyone using them for incoming payments as all incoming payments to the "old" details bounced: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37936076

- Deactivated all US debit cards on 2 working days' notice, making a very fun weekend for anyone who had a wise card loaded into 100+ SaaS services I assume https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38046293

- Not limited to US as there are accounts of them blocking Europe-based businesses (mine above and also e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38047863)

- Reports on places like https://www.facebook.com/groups/transferwisevictims/ of people taking 3.5 months to get their funds returned

- I randomly mentioned Wise problems to a friend and she immediately said "Oh wow I closed my account in the US and used them to transfer all the funds to Europe. They just 'lost' the transfer as it's now gone from my US account and is not credited to my Europe account and they will not help me find it'

Maybe a coincidence as I am aware of frequency illusions etc, but I wondered if anyone knows of any wider potential liquidity or solvency issues that they might be having, (linked to having to move away from Community Federal Savings Bank at short notice maybe?) which means they are playing these games with delaying tactics?

I was just told that they need an extension for "reasons beyond their control" and will add 35 *working* days to the normal 14 calendar days response time for complaints.
Having your dog on a lease is better for everyone involved.

It's very annoying how people anthropomorphize and refuse to take responsibility for their animals.

Guess what, your dog isn't a person and if it gets agitated and attacks someone, that's your fault. If it decides to chase a squirrel he sees across the street and gets hit by a passing car in the process, that's your fault.

Barring all the worst case scenarios, consider that other people don't like your dog jumping up on them nor do they want it pissing and shitting on their property, which is what most dogs do if left to their own devices.

Often people who won't leash their dogs claim that the animal is trained well enough to not need it, but this is rarely true. In reality, such dog owners usually just don't care about others and will readily blame anybody but themselves when their unleashed dog gets into trouble.
So I'm with in theory. People are interesting for the most part. However the amount of work to reward you are describing is tantamount to pulling up hedgerows in zelda for coins. Your not likely to find anything amazing but maybe once in awhile interesting. Again probably depends on the establishment

Nets above structures seem like a terrible defence. What's to stop me from launching a drone from within the net? Unless you're going to cover all sides of these buildings with nets. And a net-cutting drone seems like something that would be trivial to engineer.
I kind of disagree with this connection that fat women == not going to be any good at relationship and family and children. In my experience fatness has no correlation with their ability to raise kids or their attentiveness in a relationship (just go to an average parent meeting at an average school). Often times it’s actually the opposite because they can be more understanding as you both get old and unattractive together, or are more likely to work harder at it because they know they’re at a disadvantage for their fatness.

Of course I also know plenty of guys who cheat on their wife as she gets older and less hot (the classic “he gets older but all his dates are the same age”), and theres a danger for thin women who are filtered for their physical traits like this.
