I was thinking what the payoff would be to pose as human for these terrible pay click jobs and then assign them to an LLM en masse. There's an arbitrage there ... it may be a good strategy.

I heard recently "click-work" works out to about $4/hr* If you could do that x50, passively, it's a fine income.

* - see https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/14614448231183... or listen to https://kpfa.org/episode/against-the-grain-october-30-2023/ ... it's a fascinating study. Terrible pay (way below minimum wage) but surprisingly high worker satisfaction. The users seem to view it as entertainment essentially categorizing it as casual gaming.

The "asshole innovator" in me wonders if one could simply make it more entertaining and forego paying the user entirely.
Let's try the same argument, the other way around: it's sad that Linux developers waste time developing the Linux desktop given that almost all usage of Linux is on the server. Linux developers should dedicate manpower to porting Linux desktop software to Windows/Mac which the vast majority of desktop users use. Now you see the problem with your argument?
I hope global shutter makes its way to other brands so we can get away from the banding and jelly cam that we put up with when using digital cameras.

> - Putting myself out there as a so-called authority, when really I’m just a regular human trying to make sense of it all, just like everyone else

I read Beej's guide to networking like a bible when I was in a networking class around 15 years ago, and it pretty much solely got me through that class -- so I certainly _do_ think of him as an authority. Seeing him refer to his own very recent work and identity this way is a comforting testament and reminder that that feeling is normal, and that even people who do things which seem _amazing_ are just people too. Thanks Beej!

We won’t use your codebase for training. And there is an option you can toggle that disables data retention entirely.
We built a website over a year ago https://ehmeh.com/ In there you can video chat with multiple people, similar to Omegle. The difference may be that the video chat is in ASCII and the connection is done in WebRTC, fun alternative.
RPA is for data sources and destinations that are meant for human consumption and entry. So you’d use RPA to take an image of a table and enter every row into a web form.

As if in the absence of this parasitic monopoly an alternative couldn’t be spun up in a matter of days, maybe weeks, given modern frameworks and cloud infrastructure. Hell, they bought WhatsApp. Most of what they have done to it just made it worse or knocked off features from other platforms like Telegram.

> Somewhere along the way I feel it became normal to just let your children do whatever they want online with no supervision and no parental controls.

I got handed a modem at age 9 and I started dialing into local BBSs.

I learned how to use paragraphs because I got made fun of for posting giant blocks of text.

The reason I wasn't using paragraphs initially is that they hadn't been taught to me yet in school.

A couple of years later I got on to the Internet proper.

In many ways it was wonderful. The optimism, the feeling that something amazing was happening. The hope that once everyone could talk to each other that a new era of global understanding could be reached.

At the age of 13 I was able to go on technical forums and if I put enough thought into what I said, my ideas were considered to be of no lesser or greater worth than the ideas put forth by others.

Although, back then the Internet was a bit more mature on average so I felt that I needed to at least try and put thought into what I said. (Not saying I always succeeded...)

> And parents must make sure to only let their kids use child accounts.

Or how about, when someone under 18 is using a computer, every hour a giant message appears on the screen "DON'T SEND NUDES TO ANYONE. NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY. PS: ALSO DON'T BUY GIFT CARDS FOR ANYONE ONLINE."

That'd probably solve 60% of problems that underage users get into.

Jokes aside, I get it. The Internet is a worse place than when I first joined. But I'm more scared of kids running into curated video feeds that lead them down paths of extremism (e.g. red pill, gamergate) than I am of pedophiles.
The owner would probably need city approval to extend their reach onto municipal property (the sidewalk).

The store owner might also be required by the city and/or landlord to update their insurance policy to cover the extended liability.

But, in general, your proposed scenario never specified what the catastrophic event is and why the store owner would be held liable.

> If you can ride out a wave of hunger for 30 - 45 minutes it goes away.

I read "the glucose revolution" and it talked about reducing blood sugar spikes. If you have a big blood sugar spike, later you will have a blood sugar crash with a lack of energy, reduced concentration and... cravings.

I suspect that if you minimize your blood sugar spikes, you will reduce the crash later and waves of hunger aren't as much of an issue.

You can just diff the previous head with the new one. In GitLab, it's simply a matter of clicking "Compare with previous version". Locally, it's `git diff branch@{1}..branch`.

It's only becoming tricky if the MR has been rebased onto a different base in the process, but it's not very hard to deal with that too if needed (just annoying).

>However that is not what the general market wants.

Not sure that's the case. You're seeing enshitification here. We keep pretending demand has a lot to blame but when you see voters opinions like this, it seems a lot more like supply side market manipulation. Now one might argue Maine is an exception to the market and blah blah but frankly I've grown tired of the invisible hand of the market argument.

If truly a lot of privatized policy and practice comes to fruition because it's what the market demands then I'm not entirely sure market economics is a great model for humans. There so much consumer hostility and exploitation anymore that I for one am not a fan.
The European Union and Europe are not synonymous.

Very cool technology, for those who don’t want, need or can’t make creative use of the visual artefacts that come with other cameras.
Nokia has had something similar for a while now where the sensor readout was fast enough to prevent the roller shutter effect. Either way this was never a huge issue for photographers since you could always fall back to using mechanical shutters.

The more interesting part of this camera is whether this is a trend towards photography being the process of extracting a frame from a video rather than taking a series of shots.

Back when I traveled weekly I used etymotic head phones. They are without a doubt the best sounding and noise dampening headphones I have ever had. https://www.etymotic.com/product/music-pro-elite/

Other than that the Bose over the ear noise canceling head phones are good but are noticeably inferior in all regards to the etymotic.

You'll notice that all of those sites have registrations where you have to create an account and affirm that you're over the age of 13 rather than just putting "Don't use this if you're under 13" in tiny print at the bottom of a page. Even Chatroulette has a big popup where you have to affirm you're over 18 and that you agree to their terms and conditions before using the site..
The counterargument to the IMHO highly destructive attitude of "learned ignorance" that you're espousing is easily summed up in one sentence: "If you don't break anything, you'll never learn how to fix anything."

Asking and answering "why" is an important educational process. I've met other developers like you, and quite frankly they've always been mediocre to abysmal in their work, especially when debugging, because they've almost completely lost the ability to reason and hypothesise.
Ironically it is technically VC backed
But it's not copy paste. At no point does it not 'create' something from thin air. With training it produces things along the lines of what you want. That's the difference. It doesn't copy. It just notices what you like, and generates that.
This is the approach I take as well. But it's not necessarily best of both worlds. Removing (or not inserting) technically useless parens can obscure bugs if you are not perfectly fluent in the precedence rules of the language. Their doubly easy to miss if there's a lot going on on one line.

Here's one example that the rule caught: https://github.com/captbaritone/vscode/blob/ab86e0229d6b4d0c...

> Hell while we're at it, pass this same thing for robot vacuums, garage door openers, and 1000 other "smart" devices.

This a hundred times. With electronics and connectivity becoming cheaper and cheaper over time, the temptation to stick it to every possible device in order to take control of it and make it obsolete at will just by turning off a necessary service, or simply collect user data is simply too tempting. I see a sad future in which a technology will be invented with the sole purpose of having every possible object, from shoes to glasses, dentures, bags, umbrellas, walking canes, bicycles, hammers, etc. connected and constantly transmitting something somewhere, outside of any control by the user.

You’re not alone my friend. The “old good times” internet is long gone and the situation is evolving very fast.
I agree, the precise granularity of "micro" isn't well-defined and I've seen teams (usually ones without prior practical experience) try to implement an "every database table is a new service" approach that ends up being ridiculous. I suppose the term Service Oriented Architecture avoids this problem, but it sounds a little too "Oracle enterprise" for my taste.
Monthly users reaching 70 million. I doubt a basic server could handle that.

i see, thanks!

i wonder if sand bonded with sodium silicate could provide vibration damping at a much lower cost than cast iron or epoxy granite? you'd want to use much more sodium silicate than you normally use in foundry practice to get a continuous silica hydrogel phase without air-filled porosity, and as with epoxy granite, you could make the members much thicker and probably heavier than you would with steel or cast iron in order to achieve the same rigidity. and sodium silicate should make an excellent bond to either quartz or carborundum (or other silicate aggregates like basalt fiber)

i think people also care about rigidity because side-loading induces tool deflection, which hurts precision, not just because of chatter

but i don't know anything
I think the existing measures are well targeted and effective. There's no point trying to stop people from participating in standards, research or discussions, since they're all inherently open.

But restricting access to EUV machines and other proprietary high performance implementations makes sense.

Of course both of those are independent of ISA.
this is fantastic, thank you
Hey everyone! This newer guide is basically what I wrote for teaching an Intro to Networking class last year. And I decided instead of keeping it locked away in the LMS I'd put it online for everyone.

Where the other, more popular guide is basically an intro to the C sockets API, this is more about networks in general.

There are certainly a large number of errors to still be found, and I'd love to hear about them if^H^Hwhen you find them.

The goal, as always, is ad-free and correct-as-possible. :)

It got figured out, and people will figure it out once more, if needed. I wouldn't worry too much about it. A lot of it has never been seen as knowledge to be preserved and passed on, but something that somebody did based on a deeper understanding of the subject.
Oh wonderful HN community. Yet another hour spent learning something new! This time that my imagination of "200 chars are enough to store a street name" and "everyone has a zip code" is just plain wrong for a lot of places.
So the global shutter will have no benefit today for most users.

In the future though it means we can do away with the mechanical shutter which in theory means smaller, cheaper, more reliable cameras.

However the capturing photos when you hold the focus button down feature will I think be genuinely useful for pretty much everyone. Especially in family situations with kids, pets etc.
Great analogy. And.. thank you so much for posting this. HMack is a legend. Every time I listen to him I get stuck for hours. He is mindblowing constantly, pure love.
