You get the random person who will drop a few bucks on old telephony/computer/electronic gear for the novelty/nostalgia. But it's not really a business at scale; there are only so many geeks looking to pair money burning holes in their pockets with impractical equipment. I know I have some stuff in my garage that someone probably wants and which I'd give them for free even but connecting with someone--especially outside of a city--is hard and I'm not willing to go to much effort.

“It is estimated.” Doesn’t specify by whom nor if its even accurate. Kind of like “We are reporting that …”.
As others have pointed out the problem isn't demand, it's pricing. I watch a few auction sites for antique phones. They always sell. The problem is they sell for about half of what Phoneco wants.

If they listed their inventory on eBay over a period of a few years with no reserve they could easily sell everything.

I'd buy a pay phone from them today if the price was right. It's not.
> Nvidia is stepping up on their side though - I don't see the same from Wayland/XWayland camp

Genuinely curious -- what stepping up should happen from Wayland/XWayland ? Intel and AMD seem to work well on it so is it because they have some accepted some ugly hacks that Nvidia are not willing to do ? Something else ?
Bwahaha. Good luck with that.
We're amidst the proliferation of a class of entity that Joe average
doesn't quite have the political vocabulary or tools to deal with yet;

Things that deal in you.

They make money from you, indirectly.

You have no business or social relation with them.

You didn't vote for them.

They have immense power to harm you.

You have no recourse.

You may not even know they exist.

Until recently this was the preserve of a few government agencies that
had a very narrow focus on a few "persons of interest". Today it is
every dime store startup in "big data", search, spammers, social
network, and the entire grubby, yellow maggoty underbelly of
"surveillance capitalism" and all the mushrooms that grow on it.

So far the promised "benefits" of this have never materialised. Will
we be able to keep pretending "nobody cares" as public awareness, and
governments' will to enact legislation grows? At some point surely
"credit agencies" and their ilk will essentially be outlawed under a
dozen different digital rights acts.
This reminds me of a take on reactive programming for the browser but avoiding any runtime JS I saw on HN, I think, years ago: you defined a total language, and just compiled all possible control-flows into the page using tricks like this.

It certainly is not, that's what we did all that HTTPS perfect forward secrecy for.
It's not because of the money. Most could make money just fine with properly anonymized data. They just don't care and/or don't want to take the effort or spend money to do it because the consequences for leaking private info are so minimal.

It's basically a line out of the Expanse series: if you make getting into orbit trivial, and if doing things in space becomes trivial, it becomes conceivable to redirect asteroids so they hit the planet, which would be bad for the people living there.

I don't know if it's a realistic problem, my guess is it probably is, but not significantly worse than what we already have with nuclear proliferation.

The basic problem is pretty real, though: we're at a stage of technical development where it's really easy to render the planet uninhabitable, while we're at an uninspiring level of cultural development that makes it really hard to produce sensible policy.

Old school autocad back when I had access you could configure menu's yourself. I see no reason that you couldn't do that with a modern application.

One thing I did with GUI I wrote for a customer was added a notes item to the right click menu on every control. Click it an editable text box shows up. With an option to mail me the notes data so I could incorporate it in the next release.

When multiple people report your app release as having a keylogger, maybe don't get super defensive and actually investigate? They (two of the three lead devs) seem to just be repeating "that's not in the source code" over and over as if that excuses a supply chain compromise...
Now do trilingual, or arbitrarily multilingual.

We are Dutch and Polish, met in France, converse in (mostly) English, and worked in a few more, and now live somewhere with a dialect that only our oldest commands.

Double checking meaning and pronouncability involved at least four languages for us, and it wasnt easy, especially when you are nonnative!

In Europe, this is not that special, and in many other places neither. So many countries have people that speak a few natively.
Selling anything on eBay take a moderate bit of effort if (per another thread) you value your time at all. A long while back, I basically decided that if I couldn't get $50-100 for something it basically wasn't worth my time.

I am still livid on a weekly basis when some strangers create an account for a service using my email address (non-maliciously, usually); I get a "verification" email; and I can only choose "YES, Please verify", or ignore at my peril.

From tiny little mom-and-pop shops, to FAANG giants, nobody is giving me the opportunity to say "NO that's NOT me!". And though it's a "verification" email, typically account is usable and vast majority of functionality is allowed even without verification. So I get to vicariously and angrily "enjoy" the follow-up emails and updates while the users gamble, purchase, sell, review, invest, write, game et cetera using my email address.

Boo to this, I tell ya, boo!
> GIMP is not designed to be used for drawing

And yet they include a brush tool and a pencil tool - as far as I can recall, the brush tool responds to tablet pressure levels.

But _not even their own devs_ can't explain logically why a rectangle or a circle drawing tool is a no-no. And go forbid if you criticize that fact in front of them.
Back in my day, we had to hum the song in a youtube video and wait for google to flag it with a copyright strike against our account!
I disagree that TLS is a good example of a breaking change, since this is a specific library dealing with a developing and dynamic area of security. If this weren’t changed, it would compromise PKI cert integrity by allowing obsolete fields. Also you can get the old behavior back with a flag. The fact that other languages are lagging here reflects badly on them.

As discussed in the link, CommonName has been deprecated in x.509 serverAuth certificates for decades, and all major browsers dropped support for the field (even as a fallback) years ago.

There is a relation (slightly akin to "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me").

Add to the two the very recent event of the USA halting the sales of "apple and lead tainted cinnamon" after a few kids showed up in hospitals with lead poisoning symptoms.

There is a point that in current trade, and at the current state of civilizaton (cpr. your "«were hung»"), controls and internal measures (i.e. of the importers) must be heightened.

There is just one slight difference: electrification has become an imposed urgency.

Yeah I was never above ~180-200GB used storage on my 256GB iPhone X. I splurged on that one as usual.

Sorry ranting, not aimed at your comment at all just as I came back to this context: So I'm definitely a long standing and good customer (often and over many years an "evangelist" for free FWIW). IMO they have been milking us on the memory side of things for a while now though.

Even if I can gladly afford maxed out options I now increasingly do so because I feel "coerced" not because I just want the best. It's not great and gives a sour feeling for no good reason, I used to just love what they have on offer for the money spent. At this point they should just eat into their own margins and bump up to 50% more RAM across the board for most of the devices they are selling. That will not only make entry point customers more happy but also the ones buying their highest margin products. Why does the iPhone 15PM only have 8GB of RAM? I know that in no time my apps as a normal (?) multi tasker will get OOM killed again. The top of the line model just doesn't buy me much longevity in that department. The "toy" that is the Nintendo Switch had 4GB of RAM and came out the same year as my "premium" iPhone X at 3GB. Same kind of memory also IIRC. The next "toy" Switch 2 will apparently have 12GB when it arrives next year, I'm somewhat positive that Apple is already planning for their next PRO to have 10GB RAM max, maybe it will even stay at 8GB... the memory situation has really been ridiculous with them for a while.

Rant over, enjoy the sun :D probably / hopefully wrote this into /dev/null haha.
I don't understand why people compare it too Python. They are so far from eachother.

Python has horrible builtin tooling and Go has great builtin tooling.

Go is very restrictive language, while Python is not.

Go has horrible FFI support, while Python has some of the best FFI support.

I think the only thing that is similar between them is both of them are easy to understand compared to most languages.

I mean you don't see people building AI/ML, Data Science lib raries in Go for a reason.

But the entire framing of the comment is that the amyloid hypothesis is taken as fact and not possibility, when in fact the core research question is whether it is true or not.

It is the best possible explanation so far, but four decades of research have not reached a definitive conclusion.

An open problem is not a problem for science, that's the fundamental focus of science. The problem is people misrepresenting what science is and what it aims to do.

Based in Hangzhou, China, the company is one of the world’s largest makers of video surveillance equipment.

When you're dealing with nature, you're dealing with something much bigger than you are. Sure you can throw more resources at the problem. Doesn't always work.

Australians fought a war against emus and lost. The tumbleweed war in the American prairie is going nowhere. You seem to have this limitless faith in human ingenuity against nature that just doesn't make any sense. You open biological cans of worms, and it's going to take more resources than it's worth to fix properly. How many billions went into containing Chernobyl? And it's still not fixed. You just seem to want to give carte blanche to the Elon Musk's of the world because you want to believe they can dig us out of holes rather than dig us further into them.

If scalpers (who have overheads of their own) are making money then that implies the restaurant is doing the economic equivalent of leaving a lot of $100 bills on the floor. Before those bills were being picked up by random customers but now they are being picked up by people who heard there were restaurants leaving $100 bills on the floor. But the cause is ultimately the restaurant choosing to just give up free money by not charging a price so that supply and demand equal and the market clears.

Isn't dx12 a lower level API? Not nearly as accessible as dx/opengl. I guess not everyone in the game industry has the ability to just switch because codebases are messy, "things are already working", and there not being much to gain but performance.

There's an annoying practical reason to use HTTPS on Tor: some browser features are gated on the page being served from an HTTPS origin.

It should be neither. Taxes should be a service fee proportional to your usage of a government service. Income shouldn’t even be part of the equation. The USPS charges more if you want to ship heavier packages, not if you get a raise. Personal vs corporate is irrelevant. Pay your fair share.
I plan to add a health section to my awful blog. That is where I would be linking to the list of cultures and links to the benefits and risks for each one. If you want to read up on which formula I am currently using ahead of time it is here [1] and if you mouse over the images one of them lists which strains they use. I alternate between them and a couple of other blends. Most of the strains have some studies on nih.gov which is best searched using google with "site:nih.gov probiotic culture_name benefits"

The claim is landlords are using algorithms to keep units vacant to increase prices. They can't do this because most of them only own 1-2 units.

But you're still describing a cartel, which can only happen if the number of producers is fundamentally limited, because any new producer doesn't care if the others have to lower prices.

Lose their right to confidentiality wrt public interest independent investigation of the 737 MAX 8 and/or other possible wrongdoing/dysfunction?

Or lose their right to confidentiality just in general, as a kind of mob justice lite?

In both cases, how clearly can we distinguish logical reasonings in pursuit of justice, and convenient rationalization for something we wanted to do anyway?

these results are absolutely hilarious for chinese, where names are almost entirely freeform, gender is determined by character choice (not sound), and there's only a limited set of suffixes to choose from in the first place.

i think these are probably scraped from historical figures, since i see some very recognizable ones (i.e. enlai, zedong, jianguo), but there's also a data integrity issue because a lot of the masculine chinese names show up with , or £ in them.
I'm sorry to hear that your searches for that very specific name didn't provide the information you were looking for

I think we are in agreement - my point was that using an LLM as a front-end app for authenticated users (with the same rights as the front end GUI) can work OK. (with the possible risk of misunderstanding of natural language causing deletion of files)

But here we're talking about using LLMs as "customer service rep" replacements. Those chatbots would need some capabilities (escalate request, resend product, etc.)

My point is the only options are : de-power the bot (so the customer gets a worse experience). Or get hacked/jailbroken within minutes.
