> overnight, this person comes along, who happens to be a white male figure with a huge platform, and all of a sudden, he gets all of the attention. It’s kind of frustrating, but it’s also understanding the nature of how the world is

haha, this is coping and jealousy. I think it's also not about "white male figure", but rather how the younger generations are thinking of problem solving with more creativity and technology in the mix. If only these organizations had thought about how much demand there is for this type of content that would have funded their efforts.
This has nothing to do with criminalizing the creation of CSAM. It's fingerprints on existing material that has been identified by law enforcement. "New" material won't have been fingerprinted yet.
The way I think about it is that if the data should always travel together it should be in one document. For example -- if your TODO list always goes as a unit, then make it an array of objects in a single Automerge document. On the other hand, if you want to build an issue tracker and to be able to link to individual issues or share them individually then a document each is the way to go. Does that help?

As for network transports you can indeed have multiple at once. I usually have a mix of in-browser transports (MessageChannels) and WebSocket connections. I suspect we'll need to do a little adjusting to account for prioritization once people really start to push on this with things like mDNS vs relay server connections but the design should accommodate that just fine.

As for the docs, my apologies. The "tutorial" was merged into the quickstart as part of extensive documentation upgrades over the last few months. We should update the link in the old blog post accordingly.

Here's a link to save you the effort: https://automerge.org/docs/quickstart/
Some delineation between a core function of driving the car and ancillary services is probably warranted, so things like car-talk and sirius aren't the responsibility of the manufacturer. I suspect the devil's in the details for exactly how that delineation is decided though...
It's funny, because i really really distrust that super slick fully suited salesman getup. I'm much more likely to be suckered in by a surfer dude in beach wear.
Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Safari seem to work fine with the playground. Firefox doesn't like it, though. It's the 5th most popular browser (it seems), so I'm not super surprised at that. It works on 92% of the browsers out there (possibly more, I only checked these five), which is GREAT for a beta website. And the message that appears in Firefox does state that support is on its way.
Long ago, I was on the advertising board of a major restaurant chain. We had a meeting with out advertising agency where they were trying to push some statistics to us about when and where to place some TV ads. Some of us were skeptical and we asked to be given a presentation by the lady who came up with the figures.

Before we met her, one of the board members said, "I was told that it always works out that if this person is frumpy and wearing glasses then we should believe her."

She was frumpy. Wore glasses. And 100% correct on her TV time buying recommendations.
I recently bought a "smart TV" and I was pleased to see that it comes with essentially 'cable TV' (IPTV, I guess?) without even needing to run an app or set up an account. You just click CH+/- or guide and you watch another channel. One of the channels plays 21 Jump Street (the 80's show) and a few other 80's classics, another 2 just play 80's/90's music videos exclusively. I think it's kind of neat that the internet has finally come around to make cable TV obsolete.
Just wait until you see how easy it is to copy keys - and how basically zero landlords ever change them between tenants.

Enough things are wrong win the first paragraphs of this article that I can't be bothered to skim it.

But the attitude that "X that fails at 9/10 companies isn't the problem, we just need to change millions of engineers" is a naive attitude.
Agreed. It would certainly be more revealing to read an article from Brian Chesky about his experience as a guest, rather than someone else's experience as his guest. At the moment this has the sort of "house swap" TLC show vibe, but only half of it. It's missing the part where the rich guy sees the poor side of the coin.
Sure. I was exaggerating to make my point-- in no context has "safety through disarmament" ever been a thing.

The Louvre doesn't respond to people stealing paintings by disabling all the security cameras. Prisons don't protect the public by being free-range. Nuclear disarmament is too complex to go into here, but hypocrisy abounds. Barring that one incident, the Mint doesn't protect the money supply by storing it in the middle of a Walmart parking lot (predictably, it got stolen).

Every time we seek to secure anything, we make the coveted object more inaccessible to pursuers. That's how Protection works.

Anyone telling you lowering your guard and becoming vulnerable will somehow increase anyone's safety is one distraction away from slipping a roofie into your drink. It's the sort of gaslighting one expects from a pervert or voyeur.
I did read what you wrote.

> Bluetooth headphones didn't, those require special hardware, have to be charged (battery), have higher latency, reduced sound quality (lower fidelity), packet loss, and spyware built in, and DRM capable.

Here you're not stating that some extreme minority (read: probably <0.001%) have an entirely optional app which might possibly have spyware. You're stating Bluetooth headphones have spyware built in. Where's the limitation that its only some of them? Sure, later you walk back your extreme position, but you make yourself known off the bat in your original comment.

Thinking that Bluetooth headphones, as an overall concept, has spyware baked in isn't grounded in reality. The only way I can imagine you pushing that idea, which you 100% did in your original post, is an extreme aversion to it. Which its funny you then accuse me of not knowing how Bluetooth audio works, when you're the one arguing spyware is inherently baked into it. Which please, point to me any standard Bluetooth Audio spec (A2DP, LE Audio, etc) which has spyware baked in like you originally claimed.

Please, show me one pair of headphones which represent themselves as Bluetooth headphones but will not pair without an app installed. That somehow use the Bluetooth protocol to enforce DRM and enforce spyware. Or else get otta here with claims like "Bluetooth has spyware built in". Maybe its not me that doesn't understand the technology.

Ah, but I'm the one arguing in bad faith and doesn't understand technology. Not the one who makes non-factual statements like "Bluetooth has spyware built in" and later argues they didn't say it.[0] Its not straw manning to address something you literally did write. Its not pearl clutching to point out when someone says something untrue like "Bluetooth has spyware built in".

There's often not much insulation requirement between units because the entire building envelope is what carries the main insulation, so it's builder's choice if they want to noise insulate above and beyond the firewall requirements.

The worst in my experience has been units originally designed for rich quiet people that now are being rented by families.
I wonder if this is common enough that compilers will eventually convert one form into the other when doing whole program optimization.

Like ripping out a duff's device you put in your code, because it knows what you're getting at.
Building comfort is really a function of height divided by roadway width and surrounding open space. What makes a single lane road claustrophobic might be light and airy on a six or eight lane road. Central Park is surrounded by skyscrapers but is plenty airy.

There are also strategies, like setbacks, to make the building massing less imposing and obvious to the person at street level, who at the end of the day is walking with their head straight, not craning up to the sky.
the build system churn in python is really hard to keep up with.

I'm also curious about performance numbers on Windows (though, to first order, it doesn't matter... anything serious is probably running on a Linux machine).
Ya, after a while in the field I noticed that Xtreme Programming, Agile, DevOps, and now Shift Left, and most other ideas are all just describing the exact same thing. Be flexible in your work, set up your processes to be able to deliver quickly so you can adjust quickly.

I was puzzled why it seemed we were learning the same lessons in an industry over and over again, and why we kept giving new names to things that we're already existing. Then I received enlightenment when I realized that consultants that were selling agile previously were now selling DevOps. The reason they keep changing the name is because it allows consultants to come in and charge you more money to tell you to do the same things management bungled the last 3 times, because the problem isn't with the business processes it's with the idiots running the company.

Or to quote Scott Adams "If you notice a lot of focus on process improvement at your business that's a sign all the smart people have left and management is trying to figure out a process simple enough for the idiots left."

Indeed, one of my favorite XKCD comics: https://xkcd.com/978/

but the answer in my head is simple.

1. make sure the primary source is publicly viewable and archiveable (be it a blog, acedemic profile, about us on a news site, or even a social media post).

2. ensure that there's some way to verify this as a primary source. This one pains me the most, but if we trust news sites to vet anonymous sources, may as well trust social media communities to vouch for a source really being that person. IME social media loves to call out lies, so them trusting a personality isn't as scary as it sounds.

3. be able to mark a source as "primary" to give a bit of distinction so we know there is some lack of vetting compared to a mainstream resource (which hopefully has such vetting built in). similar to [citation needed], it can be footnoted like [2, primary].

There is and always will be nonsense that penetrates through, but I don't think we should discount primary resources as much we do currently. That's not how real life reflects on such resources. Wikipedia has loosened up and started to use more social media as ciations, so this isn't a radical direction.

That's an interesting perspective, and although it might have contributed, I wouldn't put that much weight onto crypto's legacy for AI, IMHO.

The first papers that used GPUs to train neural networks were from the end of the 2000s and the beginning of the 2010s, before the Bitcoin price hike of 2013. But years before that, Nvidia had already introduced the CUDA architecture to GPUs in 2006 [1], which were used, among others things, to speed up algorithms to analyze seismic data for oil and gas exploration [2].

So with or without the "crypto fever", I believe the same advancements in GPU technology would have followed - but maybe not the scarcity brought by the investments in crypto mining. Because of this, we may also argue the opposite, that crypto got in the way of AI development and was one of the culprits of the "GPU rich vs GPU poor" division we hear/read about nowadays.

In a very similar fashion, though, I do tend to believe that PC gaming holds far more importance to the rise of both AI and crypto...

The world is interconnected, especially science. Just sticking with medical imaging, a lot of work done in astronomy has crossed over and had direct impact on medicine. CT scans are one example (algorithms and code from astronomy), and if you've had lasik or been to an optometrist with one of those machines that automatically spits out a prescription (adaptive optics), you've benefited from technology developed for astronomy.

Money spent on one area doesn't mean the resulting innovations or knowledge stay there, they cross over and enrich other areas.

I know the hackernews crowd is very pro-regulation, so before downvoting please consider responding so we can have a discussion and share experience together.

"It seems the regulation in New Mexico has had an impact without hurting business"

Assuming that oil has some net affect on humanity -- pros and cons. Then we need to consider the net affect of oil produced by texas on humanity, and consider how that net affect is changed with more regulation.

Simply saying "yeah it seems like New Mexico doin real good with more laws" is extremely dangerous, because most regulation DOES harm and destroy market affects and competitive businesses. The authors on the study here should AT LEAST report with due diligence on this before requesting for increased regulation and attempting to sway public opinion -- potentially having a net NEGATIVE affect on humanity.

One possible example of not considering the net negative affect of regulation, is, for example, if there are many competing energy companies in texas, and there is a consumer demand for more responsible operations, then those competing energy companies are forcing each other to tighten their operations wrt environmental impact. However, if regulation destroys small producers and benefits big corporations, then we would see LESS competition and LESS Priority from companies to tighten their operations, negatively affecting the environment.

> Consensus doesn't mean truth.

That's true, but it's fine if Wikipedia, not being able to discern truth and falsehood as "a collection of people arguing online about stuff," uses consensus as a low-resolution proxy. It's the best tool they have given their circumstances.

> Today's conspiracy theory could be tomorrow's government press release

But it usually isn't, which is why consensus works as a pretty good low-resolution proxy for truth.

I don't follow - is the spoofing done by someone on the plane, by other aircraft, by satellite, or some other way?

Is there ever a risk that a plane can be caused to crash by fooling its GPS (what will it do if acc. to GPS there is a mountain ahead?)

Also, what is the risk that similar spoofs will send self driving cars into crowds of people?

TLDR EU mandating instant SEPA transfers at no additional cost. Should be available within 1-3 years.

> The Council and the European Parliament have reached a political agreement on the instant payments proposal, which will improve the availability of instant payment options in euro to consumers and businesses in the EU and in EEA countries.

> The new rules will improve the strategic autonomy of the European economic and financial sector as they will help reduce any excessive reliance on third-country financial institutions and infrastructures. Improving the possibilities to mobilize cash-flows will bring benefits for citizens and companies and allow for innovative added value services.

> Instant payments allow people to transfer money within ten seconds at any time of the day, including outside business hours, not only within the same country but also to another EU member state. The provisional agreement takes into consideration particularities of non-euro area entities.

> Under the provisionally agreed rules, payment service providers such as banks, which provide standard credit transfers in euro, will also be required to offer the service of sending and receiving instant payments in euro. The charges that apply (if any) must not be higher than the charges that apply for standard credit transfers.

> The Council and Parliament agreed that the new rules will come into force after a transition period that will be faster in the euro area and longer in the non-euro area, who need more time to adjust.

> The colegislators agreed to grant access for payment and e-money institutions (PIEMIs) to payment systems, by changing the settlement finality Directive (SFD). As a result, these entities will be covered by the obligation to offer the service of sending and receiving instant credit transfers, after a transitional period. The colegislators added appropriate safeguards to ensure that the access of PIEMIs to payment systems doesn’t carry additional risk to the system.

> Under the new rules, instant payment providers will need to verify that the beneficiary’s IBAN and name match in order to alert the payer to possible mistakes or fraud before a transaction is made. This requirement will apply to regular transfers too.

> The Council and Parliament included a review clause with a requirement for the Commission to present a report containing an evaluation of the development of credit charges.

Do we have examples of this? I know these arguments, but I wonder if that will really happen. Maybe public care will shrink, but still many of the aging boom generation will afford private care, or not need much of it.

> ...pretty painful.

How will the subjected population notice that you reckon? Prices change, sure, but many of us on earth also live in a lot more luxury than 200 years ago: so we have some fat on our bones.
I did, but it left ambiguities. There are already standards here (OBD), but extensions beyond that standard often require vendor software. It isn't clear what the actual requirements are. I can't imagine that they are requiring vendors to provide factory manuals and full technical information for free, for example.
> a naive fantasy.

Is it so naive to believe that eventually, we as humans can eventually overcome our stone age instincts and stop slaughtering each other on a big enough scale to necessitate some amount of militarism?

I for one would be greatly disappointed if we could not achieve that eventually. In today's age, I agree that it's hardly possible, there are simply too many parts of the world without sufficient education or still in the grip of authoritarianism or religious fanatics, but once we've overcome that, it should surely be possible eventually?

... eh, maybe I'm just naive. But as MLK so nicely put it, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice, and I'd really like to believe that.

I would assume that the existence of abstracts and titles is what allows tools like this to be effective at all. Abstracts are probably shorter than a useful summary of a paper should be, and this is by design. You would prefer that a summary have a few more things, like how experiments were actually conducted, but the abstract tells you what words to look for to find that.

I have only met a few people IRL via HN, but have definitely built my network through it. That is to say I've built connection with people that I either met on HN and then connect with elsewhere online, or met them in real life. In one case I interacted with someone on HN, then helped them get a job, and then later they wrote something for my company, then we have interacted several times on LinkedIn.

Maybe I misread your comment, but I don't think that meeting someone in person is required to build a network.

Are you just describing Stoicism here? The only "strong man" ancient philosopher I can think of is Marcus Aurelius (not Greek, incidentally). Plato's Republic didn't come from his experience as a statesman. Aristotle's Metaphysics wasn't "proven to have utility in the real world." These people were very much "ivory tower" figures.

I don't know what you do for a living/hobby, or what you might be interested in using ChatGPT to do for you, but here is how I became familiar with it and integrated it into my workflow. (actually, this is true for regular copilot too)

What I'm about to say is in the context of programming. I have the tendency to get caught up in some trivial functionality, thus losing focus on the overall larger and greater objective.

If I need to create some trivial functionality, I start with unit tests and a stubbed out function (defining the shape of the input). I enumerate sufficient input/output test cases to provide context for what I want the function to do.

Then I ask copilot/ChatGPT to define the function's implementation. It sometimes takes time to tune the dialog or add some edge cases to the the test cases, but more often than not copilot comes through.

Then I'm back to focusing on the original objective. This has been a game changer for me.

(Of course you should be careful about what code is generated and what it's ultimately doing.)
