I am convinced that if the American police forces wish to detain, arrest, or take your money, they will find a reason to do so, or create one where none was there before. Assets forfeiture, detainment, and arrest without legitimate judicial reason is deeply unfair. Regardless of innocence that may be found and adjudicated later, the damage to ones reputation, employment, and even banking can be disastrous. Recourse is often costly or non-existent.

Seeing how they practically ousted the last CEO and installed the new CEO, I'm not sure how that's gonna roll. In the end, CARIAD didnt deliver at all and it's hard to argue in favour of them.
Yeah, Doctorow's discussion of that is what got me thinking about the snow job of ecosystems, and specifically how Apple scared/seduced many industries into this: https://blog.supermechanical.com/2023/10/31/the-latest-and-g...

There's probably a subtle business case for interoperability that you can make from within a company, but I only offer that because it's all we have the power to do ourselves, while we're waiting for regulation to change the economic motivations.
Millions of people live normal lives without bank accounts.

The solution to the problem is not to force retail banks to extend their terrible customer service to all of society, it’s to ensure the utility of cash. Cash works great even if the banks (or the state) hate you.
> If a subset of companies use the exact same algorithm for price discovery, is there a form of price-fixing? This is the key question being argued.

Maybe so but this is far worse than that.

This is actual coordination, like just literal price fixing. For example the software requires users to actively ask for an override if they deviate from the recommendation. It's pretty literally a "trust" in the old school sense, of some kind of organization that coordinates actors across a sector.

Price discovery is probably also already illegal, but there's at least one layer removed, in the sense that competitors are sharing price data with each other and using the same algorithmic tools but coming to their own conclusions.

My view is that also is and should be illegal, and I hope you're right that the whole approach will be under scrutiny right now.

But the rent one is even more clear cut, it's almost impossible to justify unless you're using motivated reasoning to pretend that it's somehow different if you do it in a SaaS platform instead of a conference call or in a smoke filled room.

Show HN: Ts-Chan – Go-Like Concurrency Primitives for TypeScript/JavaScript
Hey HN,

I’m sharing ts-chan, an NPM package providing Go-like concurrency primitives, including channels and select statements, for TypeScript and JavaScript, supporting Node.js, Deno, Bun, and browsers.

This is something I've built to make implementing Go-style "control loops" feasible in JavaScript, but there are many possible applications.

Highlights:

- Features a FIFO processing Chan class and versatile Select class for concurrency control.
- Supports buffered channel and channel close semantics very close to Go's.
- TypeScript-first implementation.
- Defines a simple "channel protocol" inspired by JavaScript's iteration protocols, that's used by `Select`, and implemented by `Chan`.
- Makes an effort to mitigate cycles caused by the behavior of JavaScript's microtask queue.
- Ongoing project with active iteration for a production-ready module (pre-v1, so the API isn't guaranteed to be stable, but the implementation itself is).

NPM: ts-chan

I got my first job in the web world because I was using Gentoo at home, and that totally defined my career as well. The day I build again a desktop computer, I think I'm going to install it again (although waking up at 4AM to check why the kernel or Konqueror weren't compiling and fixing the flag or dependency issue is certainly something I will not do again)
that assumes you have the leeway to take longer. a lot of issues arise when there is an unforeseen deadline and you get just enough time to get out the code with some bugs and then can add tests and refactor afterwards. usually this happens when a critical component suddenly gets sunset and you need to work in a work around temporarily until you can do it right

In german there is "Vormittag" and "Nachmittag".
Vormittag is the time between the morning and noon.
Nachmittag is the time between noon and the evening.

Mittag = noon
Vor = before -> "beforenoon" (literal translation of Vormittag)
Nach = after -> "afternoon" (literal translation of Nachmittag)

But "vormittag" just translates to "morning" (with deepL and google translate).

Though there seems to exist "forenoon".

> After a month though, the package will get removed from tree along with the package mask (no need to mask a package which isn’t there anymore).

Does this mean that the package manager will just remove the package on its own automatically? If so, I take great exception to that. Removing packages like that should always involve overt user interaction.
That’s already what’s going on when Alexa/Siri offer standardized SDKs for app publishers to plug their API into the assistants. The problem is kind of chicken and egg however where many companies don’t want to bother creating these connections, thus these assistants are pretty useless, and people don’t use them much.

This however may just be a matter of time until the incentives align and all of this becomes possible. Eventually, it is my conviction that the web will be conversational first - and typing/clicking will be a secondary mode of action for more advanced queries.

I'm surprised this is so unsettling for many. I feel like this life beats intellectual humility into anyone smart enough to notice it pretty much nonstop from the age of reason.

That's not what Newton thought. Hypothesis non fingo[1].

That book[1] speaks of the Andasol Solar Power Station, and makes several dubious statements about it. The one being cited is:

A false claim. It has enough energy for 7.5 hours. (149.7MW/1123MWh)

In any case, is says nothing about duration. The wiki writer may have just mistaken capacity for duration.
I couldn't find any evidence of this power station storing energy for any amount of time. It's used on the night immediately after the day that charged it.

This is the Billion Dollar Question about the Realpage suit, and why I kind of dislike Lina Khan.

She could have directly attacked this question which is much more fundamental, instead of the business incorporation question she described in her seminal Amazon paper.

Algorithmic price-fixing is a much more fundamental question than bigtech populism with extra steps.

It would also give the hammer needed to hold companies like Amazon or Google accountable if they were anticompetitive.
Why do you think the UI is causing all the performance issues?
I have a more conspiratorial opinion of Cyberpunks criticism. If you look at Cities Skylines 2 and many other AAA titles, they are just as bad or worse. Yet, the one company that sought to fight the way other developers and publishers behaved got a shitload of criticism for what was - in my opinion - a much smaller problem. CS:2 is much worse, Starfield is way more buggy, etc.

In my opinion, Cyberpunk was punked by the gaming industry to harm CD Project Red. I have no proof at all, of course.
99% of religious membership is based upon birth. Every Muslim would be a Jew had they been born to Jewish instead of Muslim parents. And vice versa. It's true for every religion.

I'm not a fan of Jordan Peterson either. . . But come on, it doesn't take much to see that the decision is bull

Do we really believe psychologist losing his license because he said stuff on YouTube outside the scope of his professional practice is

"minimal impact on his right to freedom of expression"

Does anyone actually buy that.

I don't like Peterson, I'm not going to bother watching his dribble to get context

But I don't think your position that this has no effect on freedom of speech is realistic. The precedent is clear, all members of regulated professions, doctors, lawyers etc better watch what they say in the public sphere or have their right to practice taken away.

I think a lot of Canadians agree with doing this. Which is fine, I mean run the nation any way the people want.

But I don't think anyone could , with a straight face say this isn't policing speech.

And Peterson is maybe an example of someone we don't like but it's not limited to him, how about Justice McLeod who spoke out against racism in the government?

A good test for free speech is what if your opponent got it. Let's say some hyper conservative Peterson supporters took control of the college of Psychologists and started revolking the license of anyone who made claims opposing Mr Petersons world view, would you still think that's okay and consistent with free speech?
Simple answer, It's not.

Approaching a horrible situation with calm acceptance and resignation is pathological insanity.

Oh wow, I definitely considered a solver but I couldn't think of any reasonable way to do that. The one thing I did implement is a check if empty area === 0 mod 5, which was needed for the 'random board' option, since placing 4 area-1 tiles in an 8x8 grid can only be invalid if one of the areas has area !== 0 mod 4 (at least I think so).

That seemed like a first step towards building a solver, but I was still too intimidated by it to go any farther. But I'll take a look at this, thanks for the link!

What do you mean "makes this very unlikely" they're literally doing it, there's mountains of evidence that it's actually happening. They haven't really been trying to hide it the only real argument is if you somehow get a pass on a charge of colluding if a software platform is involved.
What is the running cost of doing something like this? How often do they need to be replaced and can we afford to do that for the long term?

That's probably why you are spending so much on music now. In the past, you get only a finite amount with that money.

Meanwhile, with my music subscription, I'm sure I listen to 120 _new_ songs per _month_! In addition to my favorites. Sure I'm paying more, but the value (if you agree listening to music has value) is much higher.

Before I read this article, the headline reminded about how some children are considered “old souls”. I might be wrong about this, but it almost seems to me like all smartphone users have this tension between using it to mindlessly consume media for hours instead of using it to fulfill their goals and projects. Also, it would be very interesting to try to relate this article to how people argue that Instagram use is correlated to poor self-esteem.
> This is actual coordination

This hasn't been decided yet.

If 10 companies uses ACME CO's proprietary funded algorithm for price discovery, are those 10 companies commiting price fixing or not?

They never explicitly chatted with each other to use ACME Co, yet they all profit from ACME Co's singular results.

Is this price fixing or not? We don't legally know yet.

In my experience there is no "right way to look" when going to Berghain, most people online have no idea what the club actually is and just keep repeating the same old tired clichees - like the fantasy that you have to be dressed all black or something to get in.

A technological advancement is not necessarily a social or human

at least significant caution. No doubt you will disagree, but a great

loss for society and individual health.

> supercomputer that fits in your pocket and you can lookup everything
humanity has done in seconds.

This contrived retort is actually getting very jaded, because almost
nobody uses it to "lookup everything humanity has done in seconds" -
they use smartphones for TikTok and to order a pizza. Meanwhile
"everything humanity has done" is still in any encyclopedia.

> I understand the boomer sentiment of "phone bad"

TFA is about an 11yo who decided "phone bad"

> You can’t do banking, communication with friends and family, looking
knowledge up without a phone.

And that's a BIG PROBLEM. Not a desirable feature. Fortunately we have
11 year old kids who are bright enough to see that too. With a few
more of them we'll get a society where you can do banking,
communicate and learn using a wide choice of humane technologies.

We still believe in things like markets, right? That human needs and
demand drives technology, rather than the other way about?
I've watched the 3blue1brown essence of Linear Algebra series which is great tbh, but I've been trying to get a grip on Linear Algebra as I never took it in my CS program and found this video the other day and at the section "Linear Algebra is more like programming" (and as the previous section is titled, "linear algebra is not like algebra"). I was astonished at how much sense at least a small part of this topic makes now to me. Can't wait to dive deeper. The part that stood out to me for those that don't want to watch an hour long video is where Charles Frye, the instructor, (who has a PhD in ML) said that matrices shapes are like programming's types (they are like a constraint on how they can be manipulated), that matrices themselves are like functions (they take some set of data and return another set), and that matrix operations are like function composition (they allow functions to be combined and sort of short circuited to get to an expected output.) Near the end of the video he says that these matrix operations or "function compositions" can be refactored by either breaking them down into their subsequent composite parts or by combining them together in a similar fashion as you would refactor code for clarity of intent, simplicity, efficiency, etc.
