Uhm what? It's 2023 and they still don't do e2e encryption by default. Building a chat application without e2ee is orders of magnitude easier than with. And let's not talk about MTProto…
Yes. Many do. Dig deeper and it is often the publishers rather than creators pushing such bans. Authors want sales, but in such a competative industry the increased publicity from illegal sharing can be worth more than hypothetical lost sales. Publishers have different motivations as they manage catalogs rather than individual books.
"Their" work? It's not theirs at all since they sold the copyright for the paycheck. Isn't intellectual property wonderful?
Fortran has had pointers in the standard language since F'90 and as a ubiquitous vendor extension since ca. 15 years earlier.

Because the majority of those ai "startups/founders" were blockchain startups before this and big data startup before that and "any buzzword tech" before that too.

Cruise is still at fault because they dragged the pedestrian for about 20 feet instead of stopping then failed to show that to the dmv which was very deceptive. That's why they lost their permit. They lied to public officials.
I know; but I was surprised about implied lack of ubiquity of the kind of lockers that are massively deployed where I live.
Considering the popularity of off road use Japanese kei trucks imported to the US I’d agree! I also really want one of these.

It should also include hilghly refined processes, which I guess still boils down to the ingredients, however things like refined sugar and refined carbs are very harmful and IMHO the main dietary problem for most people.
Same. I can't remember the last time I wrote a test, I just use a default prompt to have it write them for me now.
Somewhere at a dinner table. The son who looks upon his father as the victor of the west. He utters that daily question steeped in curiosity:

An you Dad, how did you spend your day in service of our cause?

After a pause, which might be a hint of an amount of independent thinking, but not really.

The father responds: I protected America by preventing poor people from reading enough books!

What a world we live in. Can't wait to see what's next.
And that's my point exactly, every new software system is an experiment. No one has any idea if it's actually going to work out, it's all plug and pray.

If estimating research projects is as much a thing as SW, it's just as insane.

Pretending we know something we don't is lying.

Projections is another thing altogether, let's say we let this run for a month and then we have another look and see where we are. Much more connected to reality than pretending we know where everything is going from square 1.
Is there actually a plan/assurance posted by apple anywhere, or are you just basing that on their history?

It'd be nice to know when I might need to replace the iphone I'm using as an extra phone.
Condos are an option to have high(er)-density and own. That said, I question if things we need for our fundamental needs are the vehicle we should chose to build inter-generational wealth. Getting prices of things we must have down, rather than up seems healthier.
Did you not read the last clause?

> lastly, it happens to be true
It already does. Have you heard of HDCP?
Yes we do. You don't get to to install experimental electrical outlets in people's homes so you can iterate on a design known to be deficient. They are certified first. Then sold. AVs should be no different.
> Most of the planet has below-replacement birth rates currently in a rapidly declining trend.

No, most of the planet has above-replacement birth rates.

The developed world has below-replacement birth rates.

People migrate from the former to the latter, resulting in net population growth in ~nearly country in the world.

There are only a handful of countries experiencing population decline. Japan, Venezuela (Shocker), Russia (Shocker), Ukraine (Also a shocker...), and now that I think of it, almost all of the rest are other former Soviet Block countries. Their populations are declining, because people are actively getting the hell out of them, and nobody wants to/is allowed to move into them.
I'm on Wegovy, I'm told it will be for 2 years max... Then I'm weaned off it. My biggest fear is when I come off, the hunger and food noise returns.

I would happily continue to be on this med for the rest of my life, side effects and all.

Is /s a self-fulfilling sarcasm indicator or a typo?
I agree with some of the perceived issues, but not entirely with the solution.

I think this is what state machines are for. The disabled attribute is in a sense part of the button's own state-oriented behaviours, but as mentioned it isn't really sufficient to prevent other interactions or submissions. You can prevent form submissions and/or ignore them by orchestrating form UI and interactions within a state machine, though.

It sounds complex, but it's an abstraction that can be easily reused across forms, and it's not an expensive abstraction. If you're using JS, it's a trivial addition that can provide easily tested, robust, reliable form behaviours that respect your users and your business logic.

I've wondered many times why something like <form id="my-form
disabled> isn't possible.
There is the array module, but it's cumbersome to use.

But unlikely this is what parent meant.
The next paragraph explains the problem with the Cruise AV.

>> The [Cruise] vehicle evidently did not detect that the injured pedestrian was trapped underneath the vehicle. The person, who has not been identified, was critically injured after being dragged slowly across the asphalt for about 20 feet, according to documents related to the incident. The person was reported to have sustained serious injuries.

This recall is worth it if pedestrians are no longer dragged along underneath an AV.
There’s many laws not worth their enforcement costs.

These seizures are some of the only legal actions which are just emblematic of pure corruption. The government serving the interests of middlemen whose primary impact on science is making it less accessible and charging rents on it. It’s a hellish parody of copyright law.

If I worked for Elsevier I’d feel worse about what I did for a living than if I worked for Marlboro.
And if there is no way to pay for a truly ad-free experience, then I'll just make an ad-free experience myself by not paying anything and pirating everything.

Piracy is nearly always a service problem. I'm happy to pay for content, but will not pay for content twice and I will not watch ads. If those options are not available, then I'll just take what I want and the service provder will get zero dollars and zero ad viewership rather than some dollars and zero ad viewership.

Very interesting find, even though not their target:

"Interestingly, there is in fact a noticeable downward slope in average sentiment over time for those topics as well"

I would speculate total sentiment on HN is trending down. Its the disillusionment with tech.
I'm old enough to remember when the phone system in the US behaved this way.

I confess I did choose the non-obvious symbols to illustrate the article's point that those symbols are non-obvious.

We agree that some of the symbols have clear visual relationships. The article suggests it would be nice if all of them had such relationships. Instead, we have what looks like a random agglomeration of symbols, of which a few happen to make sense.
Doesn't R handle fortran and C++ packages?
No. The largest memory hogs are FireFox, Photoshop, and Lightroom Classic.

Not if you are Virgin Galactic its not :)
This predates me, but the toys we had to play on back in the 70s and 80s weren't much different. I feel like many things have been tamed down here in the states, litigious people are likely a large part of it.
are they famous last words? are there specific examples of indigenous people that were decimated due to actively seeking out contact? (genuinely asking, not super familiar with the history here, though i'm under the vague impression that most contact has not been active in this sense)
I’ll never buy Windows ever again. Win10 was my last hurrah. I want to thank MS for things like Win32, gaming; I thought WSL was going to be a thing that allowed the best of both worlds and everything was going to be better.

I was wrong, and it’s very clear I was wrong. It’s a shame really and kind of sad. It’s like your favorite hammer turning against you; a tool you’ve used for decades decides to self-immolate. Or maybe a hammer that you’ve used for decades and then started playing an ad and tracking your location every time you pick it up.

Terrible.
> Amazon expects me to weaken my physical security posture to help them defend against an activity I don't engage in and is in no way my responsibility?

Most people get quite irked when someone steals their Amazon package between the time it was left at their door and the time they actually try to get the package. Hence for most people who occasionally receive Amazon packages when no one is home to quickly take it inside a way to let Amazon put the package in their locked garage is a benefit.

> How about amazon builds (at their expense) an amazon controlled box, slap a mcu on, do authentication over nfc, rfid, etc etc. Offer it to customers free of charge, hell throw in a sweetener to get them to adopt.

Like Amazon Lockers? That's not as convenient as delivery to your home. Or do you mean they should provide lockers to individual homes?

I'm not sure that would work. If the home locker was not very heavy or very securely attached to something immovable package thieves would just steal the lockers.
I wonder how many of these building types would be legal in the US just due to fire codes that were created for a different area. In most of the US apartment buildings units must have access to two stairwells which in essence limits everything to a double-loaded hallway layout. That makes it harder to build units for families and makes it impossible to have more windows and a cross-breeze. More complete discussion: https://www.niskanencenter.org/how-to-build-more-family-size...
One other way to look at this is “only people who intentionally invested in crypto lost anything, while creators who were ignorant to or against the idea of ML training set-trawling were injured through no fault of their own.”

Of course, this is not quite true because many people were harmed indirectly when criminal theft of their money was facilitated by the low barrier to entry that cryptocurrency presents to the would-be money launderer.
I appreciate the sanity it brings. More software should be like that, as you implied. Or, so I read as such.
Prism operates under Section 702 which is what the article is about.

I'll argue the fucking garage opener shouldn't even be connected to the internet. It, like every other "smart home" device should be connected to a zigbee/z-wave/thread gateway that can be replaced when it gets old and the manufacturer can't/won't support the gateway anymore.

This current model is a fucking failure.
This makes me feel like the whole thing is, in large part, meant as complementary product to security cameras. For example Ring cameras, oh so conveniently owned by Amazon.
Interesting, curious what you're connecting to: a more powerful mac pro, a Windows box, or a Linux box (and is it in the cloud or in your office).
Sorry that you've worked for some horrible companies. What you described has not been my experience over the last 10+ years at some rather large and now public tech companies. Part of a Senior's job duties are to mentor Juniors and most job descriptions explicitly list that as an expectation of the Senior role.
Sonic Pi binds MIDI codes to symbols like `:a4` for their corresponding note names, if that helps. It's not comprehensive -- there are no entries for doubled flats/sharps, for instance -- but you can write basic chords/melodic lines with a pretty limited need for numbers.

You'll still need some for `sleep` (or `play_pattern_timed`), but if we're being pedantic about it, note lengths are already numbers as is.
Lucky. I have to restart perhaps once a day/every other day as the UI becomes unresponsive. Sometimes putting the computer to sleep means it restarts by itself, or I have force power it back on.
They're ubiquitous, but few prefer them over the convenience of delivery to the doorstep. Buyers are never responsible for missing packages so there's little incentive to use lockers unless you're buying a secret gift or live in a very sketchy neighborhood or your home is so far from the warehouses that same-day delivery is only available at the locker
The other confounder that came to mind quickly is that Texas is generally hotter than New Mexico. Even though methane is a gas regardless, I would expect this to have an effect, since diffusion processes generally happen faster when it's warmer.
I miss browsing at a well stocked library. Walking through the stacks and lingering at a segment of sports science publications or gawking at the quantum mechanics publications and wondering at the abstracts I could barely understand, it brought out "wonder" much in the same way that hiking through a forest or out to see a waterfall does.
"partypooper"
This isn't even remotely funny, just ignorant.

The problem with writing a cover letter, of course, is that it's so unlikely to even be read in the first place, much less actually get you the job.

Apparently everybody knows that except for the author? This is why the New Yorker is such a piece of shit publication.
> Just because you die doesn't mean your house is paid off or you don't have some kind of reverse mortgage on it.

That doesn't change anything with respect to the existence of the house. Someone might take a loss (the heir or a bank) but no matter, the house continues to exist and someone else will end up owning it.

> Just the yearly taxes on my home would be a significant burden to many.

If nobody can afford it that just means the price (and thus tax) will drop until someone can.
No you don’t. I enter code into browser of iOt thingy, set to expire midnight on delivery day, copy/paste to Amazon when placing order. NBD. I could even reuse the same one over and over if I want, just enable it when a delivery is due.
That's wrong - crypto's main value is buying and selling illegal goods and services on the internet.

Its secondary value is buying and selling legal goods and services on the internet without having to deal with credit card companies, but only for techbros.

(from my notes) Disabling swap:
- Disable SIP (`csrutil disable` from recovery environment terminal)
- `sudo nvram boot-args="vm_compressor=2"` in macos terminal
- reboot, confirm with `sysctl -a vm.compressor_mode`

`browser.cache.disk.enable` = false in Firefox `about:config` (I think there's more to this, but I can't recall, more research required)

I disabled spotlight altogether among some other services, for some reason I didn't finish my notes. It's a start though!.
"ChatGPT, how do I"...wait...
I would think that ChatGPT is also delegating to some other subsystem.
Isn't it normal to set a fixed seed in testing and then expect deterministic results so you can write simpler assertions?
Dont try to future proof you house with ethernet, fiber or any other cable. Install pull tubes, plastic pipes and passthroughs for pulling whatever cable is the new standard of the time. A house with a crawlspace and some riser tubes to upstairs rooms, or one big tube to an attic space, is far easier to upgrade than one with cat-9 outlets permanently baked into the walls.
> I'm not sure that would work. If the home locker was not very heavy or very securely attached to something immovable package thieves would just steal the lockers.

How expensive pouring some concrete into a small hole in the ground would be? Or would this become real estate then, or otherwise require a construction permit?
Fentanyl is an FDA-approved analgesic. I would guess that the reasonable person who is prescribed fentanyl takes it.

Disabling a button is not up for argument. You are entitled an opinion but you are wrong. As mentioned in the article, it becomes invisible for screen readers so, no, hard stop on its usage. From a usability standpoint, an available button gives you the opportunity to validate a users field, shortcut someone to that field and if you use form properly, allow the user to go on to the next invalid field with the enter key.
It doesn't, but if you and the recipient both have bitcoin wallets, you might decide to send bitcoin instead of USD or EUR.
That's a good read. I was very surprised, because I've seen exactly the same movies and pictures like the ones presented. And yes. Why is there a reporter right on time? I also wondered who's reporting actually. The terrorists are using media for their purposes. The digital war of words and pictures ... But whyyy.. if that reporter had been part of the plan.. how can he! If not much Infos except "be there then" .. shit! Shut the cam up. It's just cruelty.

Probably they are getting squeezed to deliver an impossible number of packages during their shift. Hence the stories about drivers peeing in bottles and such.
Crypto has alternated between stages 2 and 3 many times - but the price increases by an order of magnitude each time.
It’s not complicated at all. I get shipment notification from Amazon, tap in, copy tracking then paste into browser interface of iot thingy. I think you might be one of those guys who types 500 lines of code when 50 will do the job.

It seems this won't remove the requirement for a phone number, rather it will serve as an alternative ID of sorts, same way Telegram does it now, they no longer allow signing up without a number.
Open Music has precompiled LispWorks applications for Windows/86, Linux/86, macOS 86&ARM.

https://github.com/openmusic-project/openmusic/releases/tag/...

LispWorks is 'relatively' popular for Lisp-based music applications like Open Music, om#, Scorecloud, OpusModus and a few others, because the native GUI toolkit for Windows, Linux and macOS allows to write portable GUI applications. One pays for being able to use a niche language able to write such applications.
Isn't that a bit like asking how I can send bitcoin with SEPA?
Also called "child pornography".

The term had me confused at first because I though it consisted of evidence of child sexual abuse, including things like medical records showing traces of abuse. But no, it is just child porn, stuff that gets pedophiles excited, which may include stuff where no real child abuse has taken place (ex: lolicon).
I was going to counter it, but I guess same-day delivery is what makes this different from my experience. As a buyer, I'm incentivized to not miss packages, because I've already waited between 2 to 7 days for it, and I don't fancy doubling that time over a delivery dispute. But if my packages were all same-day delivered, I suppose I would give less of a damn.
Ah that’s interesting, did know bard had multi modal inputs.
Yeah, places like Pudong, Shanghai really drive this home. Pudong felt very open and airy to me when I was there last in 2009 because there is so much space between the buildings. That said, it of course felt somewhat sterile and didn't have the awesome qualities you by contrast get from the cool parts of Tokyo that have much lower buildings, but right next to each other and allow every building to be different, have businesses on random floors etc.
One could abuse Kotlin to make almost this syntax valid. Something like: states.includes { +”VALID” || +”IN_PROGRESS” }

Where statestype function ‘includes’ takes a lambda that’s run in states context and overrides plus operator for string to evaluate to states.contains(that string). One could, but should they?
> Right what we need is a requirements.yaml

It already exists, it's called pyproject.toml. It already existed for years in the form of setup.py. Requirements.txt means that projects can't be automatically installed which contributes massively to the difficulty of getting packages to work.
I don't think permanently wiring high-speed twisted-pair makes much economic sense:

CAT8: $0.55 / foot

Max speed; 40 Gbit

Max length: 30m

(https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=42957):

---

2 strand OS2 single-mode fiber: $0.09 / foot

Max speed: 800 Gbit (today; theoretical max speed is much higher)

Max length: >10km

OS2 has been around for decades, and will be more than good enough for the next several decades.

It does -- and to a much lesser extent shims exist for other languages as well. R also has imperfect packaging but I think it's handled well albeit with a level of complexity that also goes up a lot unexpectedly at times. For a truly great experience, call python packages within R in a custom conda environment in order to get data out of pandas in a particularly unholy way...
What's the motivation? Is it to avoid needing to share phone numbers? Will phone numbers be private after this?
> and don't forget the Sunni/Shia divide, where Iran will support Hezbollah because Shia, but wind up supporting Sunni Hamas because common cause against Jewish Israel usurping a piece of what was for a long period of time Islamdom.

Irans support for Hamas has from the beginning also (somewhat ironically, similar to Israel’s motives for fostering Hamas in the first place) as an Islamist counterweight to the PLO and its connection to pan-Arab nationalism.
