You are assuming it is a conscious decision and that these high-status individuals are aware that what they express is false. But the point the author makes is that the falsehoods are their true opinion.

And most likely, you yourself will have opinions that aren't true and that you have only started to believe because of fear of status loss.

Definitely, dude. You were much more likely to get a stable and reliable connection from a hardware modem at a slower speed than from a soft modem that was trying for 56 kbits on a bad voice line.

If anyone wants to brush up on their understanding of the Nyquist theorem, give yourself homework to find out why the highest speed ever offered on analog phone lines was 56 kbits. That's a nice Rabbit Hole to tour.

So that's why everyone is so reluctant to work on deep-fake software? No, they did it, knowing what problems it could cause, and yet published everything, and now we have fake revenge porn. And we can not even trust tv broadcasts anymore.

So perhaps we do need some other people involved. Not employed by Meta, of course, because their only interest is their stock value.
Exactly the same, and "wasting" the time is the same sentiment I have. It means I get ~5h of sleep normally, and most of the activities I do in that time are what Tim Urban (in TED talk, "Inside the mind of a procrastinator", which is excellent) calls "Dark Playground" - something I next morning feel at least a bit guilty for spending time on.

For the last couple of days, during some workshops, I've slept for ~9h a day, and difference in my mential acuity today vs otherwise is impossible to deny / wave away...
The point at issue I was referring to was yours, not his. I had the passage in mind I quoted; to quote and refer more concisely and precisely perhaps:

“But, when they created it [= Iliad or Odyssey] originally, they used their own contemporary language”

No, “they” did not. The Iliadʼs and Odysseyʼs language was nobodyʼs contemporary language. Not for the 8th century, not for the 5th. It has too many archaisms and dialectisms (aiolisms). (Note: Some forms seen as aiolisms in earlier research are understood as archaisms now.)

Yes, people enjoyed it, very much. But people can enjoy something that sounds archaic and unusual, not like contemporary speech. Particularly, when it is an epic poem about older times. That is quite common. I for one enjoy that, too, YMMV.

Your point “it was meant to be remembered and listened to” is difficult to unpack: Yes, this is true both for the time before and after a Homeric poem was composed as the whole that we know, but true in a very different manner. In any case, it is no evidence against archaisms (and aiolisms).

So:

“do you translate it into contemporary English or archaic one”

Archaic would be a little bit more authentic than contemporary.

Contemporary may be a better fit for many readers today – perhaps the ease of access is paramount when the translation competes with infinitely more permanently accessible information and entertainment than there was in the 8th century BC.
Yes, and you get to choose between doing that and getting blocked because it’s their server. Stealing entertainment is hardly a bold stroke for freedom.
It's one iCloud account per user account, but arbitrarily many user accounts per machine.
Charitable take:

Revenge procrastination is, as the article says, a symptom of poor emotional regulation. Our emotions push us towards having leisure/entertainment 24/7 but that is obviously not healthy even for the financially independent. Simultaneously, there is an ever-expanding universe of things to experience/study/engage with so there will always be reasons to feel that your obligations are causing you to miss out on life. So the emotional regulation is about accepting that you won't be able to do everything in life and making conscious decisions and sacrifices about what is important to you.

Uncharitable take:

Any article about revenge procrastination that doesn't include a call to action about legislating massive PTO minimums or a 30-hour workweek is an element of the ongoing class war. Convince labor that their struggles are internal and they'll never organize against you. That there is little political will to expand workers' rights or benefits suggests that capital is in a dominating position in the battlefield of public opinion.

That's a good point, but any responsible investor would have looked at the charter and priced this in. What I find ironic is the number of people defending SamA and the like who are now tacitly admitting that his promulgation of AI risk fears was essentially bullshit and it was all about making the $$$$ and using AI risk to gain competitive advantage.
That money will go fast with trying to poach out of industry , buying nvidia hardware, and no clear direction. Hopefully it is just the fault of the author and not actually another case hoping a bunch of phds will come up with something given time and money.
Handbrake gives you no indication whatsoever what quality you are getting at the end of the day. Even though it's technically possible to do many things in that regard (make previous of different compression rates and let the user decide, or draw comparison of video clips before and after compression highlighting where the image details are lost, etc...).

There's very little that is user-friendly in Handbrake.
I did this a lot this year, usually until 3am every night.

I’m a remote worker who works and games at the same desk and chair.

Often I would lie to myself about being productive and then quit a tutorial after a few minutes and load up a game instead.

I found I stopped since about September, mainly by telling myself nothing really productive happens after 11pm and to just go to bed.
... persisting how? Where?

Why would this be better than storing what has to be stored, and using some combination of views and generated columns in a regular RDBMS, which has neither of the shortcomings you mentioned, and is language/framework/runtime agnostic. Heck it's even database agnostic to some extent.
Its interesting that OX are on the list, because OX appear to be going down the road of freezing open-source featureset and reserving (new) advanced features for their commercial customers.

The Dovecot commercial product manager has for example said in a presentation[1]:

"there will be an open source version, but that open source version will be maintained for single server use only. we are actually taking out anything any actually kinda' involves multiple servers, dsync replication and err some other stuff. so dovecot will be a fully-featured single node server"

I think this is only true upto some point. Ultimately the API of a unit of code is not fully defined by the public VS private language features, it is defined by the conventions for its use. If a field/method is public but it is documented to not be used by anything except, say, some tests, then it shouldn't be considered part of the actual API.

Even in languages which have a very powerful type system, there are assumptions that have to be left to documentation (e.g. that the Monad laws are respected by types which match the Monad typeclasses in Haskell). Testing parts which are documented to not be relevant is often actively harmful, since it causes problems with later changes.
There's actually remarkably little that they can decide properly for themselves these days, but they have low budgets, and eventually the low budgets lead to underqualified and overstretched staff, who then compound the problem with poor decisions.
LLVMs API is the c++ one. The C one while more stable also doesn't support everything. Keeping up with LLVM is annoying but it's not the source of bugs or anything of the sort. PS(it's not actually stable. Because if the c++ code it calls is removed it just gets removed from the C one)

I say this as one of the devs that usually do the work of keeping up the latest LLVM.
I wish the article had spelled this out a little better, but the reason many businesses have open source licenses for their software is to assuage their customers’ concerns about lock in and permanence (will your startup be around later? Will you jack up the price? Don’t worry, it’s open source). The downside, of course, is that it’s harder to sell stuff if it’s also available for free. I believe the theory here is that this license promises to open later to fix the lock in fear, but is closed now to create scarcity. So under its logic, it’s different from simply switching to Apache later because it’s the promise that’s doing the heavy lifting.

I’m not sure it’s actually a good idea, just that I think I understand the intended logic of it.

If YouTube blocks your player due to your ad-blocker, they are clearly telling you that they no longer want you as a visitor, and you can rest assured that your client did not download any ads. Using your argument, this is a win-win situation.

In reality, however, this is just a dumb justification for unethical behavior because people with ad-blockers will just investigate how to circumvent anti-adblock measures, to keep consuming content for free.

And this behavior is akin to software piracy, which ensured monopolies thrived. Just as in the 90s, when software piracy helped companies like Microsoft or Adobe to own the market, YouTube is now a monopoly thanks to people like you. Because alternatives, like Vimeo or PeerTube, can't differentiate by being ads-free.

And now, the monopoly, which ad-blockers helped create, is used as further justification for the existence of ad-blockers. Funny how that works out.

I wouldn't care, except the writing is on the wall for where this is going. In truth, ad-blocking still works simply because publishers like Google still allow it to work, by not investing in anti-adblock tech or lobbying for legislation that bans it altogether (e.g., DRM). It's either that or paywalls everywhere. And this will hurt the open web, much like how software piracy hurt general-purpose computing.

Enjoy the freeloading while it lasts.
So, in other words, perhaps what we have is a necessary component but not wholly sufficient on its own?
You and Symbiote are technically correct, what I'm suggesting wouldn't match The Open Source Definition [1]. But being "correct" matters little to me, what matters is promotion of the idea & usage of free software.

> Free software is software that gives you the user the freedom to share, study and modify it. We call this free software because the user is free. [2]

I believe you'd agree that everything-as-a-service and tivoized products do not make users free, even if they technically don't violate the terms of FOSS-licensed code that they incorporate.

> The Business Source Licence

Yes, I've heard about that license, but I think it's mostly applicable when an already existing company decides to make its product more open, while I was thinking of the opposite — a group of independent contributors realizing "hey, we've made something big, let's protect our work (and potentially get rewarded for our efforts)" and creating a more formal entity around it.

My take is the tasks on Turk are awful and will drive away anybody decent.

I had a time when I was running enough HITs to get a customer rep and felt I was getting OK results. I wanted to get better at running HITs so I thought I would “go native” as a Turk and try to make $50 or so but I could not find tasks to do that were at all reasonable. Instead they’d want me to “OCR” a receipt that was crumpled up and torn and unreadable in spots and said they’d punish me for any mistakes.

They also get problems wrong, in the most dumb way possible. I've tested it out many times where the LLM got most of the more 'difficult' part of the problem right, but then forgot to do something simple in the final answer--and not like a simple error a human would make. It's incredibly boneheaded, like forgetting to apply the coefficient it solved for and just returning the initial problem value. Sometimes for coding snippets, it says one thing, and then produces code which does not even incorporate the thing it was talking about. It is clear that there is no actual conceptual understanding going on. I predict the next big breakthroughs in physics will not be made by LLMs--even if they have the advantage of being able to read every single paper ever published, because they cannot think.
> If there was a version of the FSL that converted to GPL after two years

That would not work to begin with, and I already explained elsewhere in this comment thread why.

Look, I understand that you do not subscribe to this argument, there is very little I can do to convince you otherwise. I'm coming out of a community that embraces permissive licenses. The FSL plays that tune with a twist that is the exclusivity period.

> There's nothing stopping you from just releasing old versions under a different license anyway, and no real reason to commit to doing so specifically for the next two years.

There are lots of things that can be done, many other licenses can be forged. But some of these are depending on the goodwill of a future actor. All of this seems worse.

> > Communism is one of the worst ideas

Communism is the idea that in order to be successful you have to kiss asses at the location where you want to eventually become someone, for example a government agency or a political party.

Capitalism is the idea that in order to be successful you should be able to kiss asses wherever and however you can and be able to move the provents from the aforementioned ass kissing at some other place (in the form of money) so you don't have to start all over. So you can make some ass kissing arbitrage in order to minimize the amount of ass kissing that you do.

I prefer the latter because I don't like to be constrained in one place and might have a bit of commit-o-phobia but it's not a stretch to think that people who like to put the work day-in and day-out in the same place, see familiar faces everyday and don't have commit-o-phobia might prefer the former.

In the end it's all about kissing asses and there are very minor differences. Long gone are the days of low hanging fruits where you could singlehandedly invent the wheel or fire, now every minor marginal improvement in anything requires some serious ass kissing and given that it's a practice that nobody likes you see emerge these big ideological battles between factions who say:

"There would be more stuff and less need for ass kissing in a libertarian free market haven"

and those who reply :

"In a proper commune the need for ass kissing would be at an all time low and the stuff would be at an all time high"

Reality is nobody knows if the wheel or fire were invented in a commune or libertarian haven because it was something so self-evident and straightforward that these sort of mega ideological battles were a non-factor.

Yeah, cash is an option in Spain, however, most people, specially young people, is more likely to just carry their card and no cash.
Yeah, I'm simply pointing out that anecdata can contribute to stereotypes. In the way the OP posted it, it sounded like 'men are ok with dark streets, but women are the reason we can't make the streets dark'. When in reality the line isn't on sex but other things like strength and defense knowledge. As I mentioned before, those sorts of things might be more associated with one sex or the other, but it's a mistake to stereotype.

I’m interpreting it as a CPA
If you're starting from scratch you would need some way to determine the apparent position of the Sun and the Moon. Probably some kind of long tube that you can rotate precisely. Ancient people would use buildings for that purpose. Then you need to make observations probably over several, possibly many, years to determine the Earth's perihelion and apohelion (at least their timing), the length of the year, and the precession. For the Moon you determine its orbital period and plane, and if you want to know whether the eclipse will be partial or total from a given location you also need the perigee and apogee (again, at least their timing).

Once you have all the data you find all the times when the Moon crosses the ecliptic plane (about once every 14 days), which are the only times when eclipses can happen. You discard the times when the Moon will not be aligned with the Earth and the Sun. You will be left with a handful of times per year when an eclipse is possible. If the eclipse is solar you compute the orientation of the Earth to see where it will be visible from. It's all trigonometry and linear algebra.

> I wasn't aware that Socialism was sort of all or nothing

But it is, socialism is when there is no private ownership of the means of production, that is core to it. Europe has social democracy combined with capitalism, there is no socialism there. Social democracy has nothing to do with socialism, they are completely different concepts.

Edit: Some social democracy might stem from socialist movements, but there is none of that left today. No part of Europe is moving towards socialism, they are all happily capitalist with a majority of their economies being in the private sector.

Social democracy is mainly about the government serving the people and ensuring everyone gets to live a decent life. So health care, social security etc. The same thing USA does but a bit more. It doesn't have anything to do with the means of production except trying to ensure that the system serves the people.

Help HN: Google has blocked our entire domain for harmful programs
Hey HN. Posting this here in the hope that someone who can help sees this. I work on security and compliance at Buffer. A couple of hours ago, Google blocked our entire domain start.page and now shows the "The site ahead may contain harmful programs" warning when trying to visit any subdomain.

start.page is the primary domain for hosting Buffer's link page product. Eg: https://buffer.start.page . About 24 hours ago, a spammer created a start page which linked to a .rar malware file hosted on Google drive. We did not host the file. Just carried a link to it.

That page was detected during our routine content moderation this evening but it had also been reported to Google. We have removed the content at this time and submitted the start.page domain to Google's review process.

In the meantime however, instead of blocking the individual subdomain that had linked to the malware, Google has blocked our entire domain start.page which means that all valid customers are also affected by this. Any customer start page visited on desktop/android now shows the scary red screen warning.

Reaching out on HN right now to see if there's anyone at all on Google who can help expedite the review process so that our customers aren't further affected by this.

Also, if anyone from Google sees this I can further help by sharing information to the linked google drive file. It's password protected so I'm guessing that that helps it bypass detection.

Thanks. Fingers crossed for this since I've never done/had to do this before.
Like an overlay? I've seen streamers do this. I think their stream is being modified the same for all users, maybe not though.

Can you do overlays with dynamic ads at scale? I'd think that would be costly.
