When asked what regulations Google is considering when it comes to bringing Bard to Canada, Sebastian cited the Online News Act, which would force tech giants and other companies to pay Canadian news producers for links posted to their platforms

“We’ll bring (Bard) here to Canada very soon as we manage through all the regulatory issues,” Sebastian said.

So you're implying that we should ignore any factual reporting done by a team we don't like.

I hope you never are involved with science: where the fundamental is being shown you're wrong by people you disagree with.

Not saying the report is well done, or that we should always listen to the "other side".

But they appear to list some real issues. For example they say EVs don't pay petrol tax so they don't pay for their road usage so that needs to be recognised.

I was reading about the subsidies (in Finland?) where the wealthy are getting EV subsidies because the poor don't buy new EV cars. Nice. And when those EV cars end up costing less in fuel costs, the wealthy are getting a double advantage over time. Even nicer.
Paramount+ took a few swings at this, and eventually they hit paydirt with Strange New Worlds.

The intention isn’t to make mediocre shows. The intention is to make a show which draws an audience, and Star Trek shows start with a decent base audience to make it worth trying.
Yes, this is LinuxONE Community Cloud.
Some people, when faced with a demonstration that someone they care a lot about can successfully deceive them, develop trust issues.

It is a thing that happens. I don't think it speaks to the depth of their feelings, it speaks more to how they develop trust.
A couple I'm friends with had a broken kitchen faucet handle for ages-- it would just fall off unless you held it on while operating the faucet. Unfortunately, one of the necessary connector pieces was no longer available, so it wasn't a trivial fix. Once, when I was pet sitting their rabbits, I got so annoyed by the thing that I went home and made a wooden piece to fit in where the missing part went, and fixed it while they were still on vacation. It was supposed to be a surprise but I totally forgot about it, and a few months later my wife said to them "hey do you like having your kitchen faucet fixed?" They looked at her, perplexed, walked over to the kitchen faucet, tried to pull it off, and it obviously didn't come off. They were shocked! Why? Because they were so used to holding that damned handle on the faucet that it just became an part of their using that faucet.

Similarly, people get used to bad interfaces. While we are always going to be most productive using interfaces that we're used to, that often mistakenly leads them to believe that they're objectively good. If you ask nearly any group of professional photographers how many hate Adobe, most will raise their hands. Ask them how many have used Gimp, they'll almost all raise their hand. If you ask them how many used Gimp more than once, they'll almost all lower them. Ask them why, and they will almost guaranteed cite the poor interface. While many dedicated and experienced FOSS developers (which I am) will cite Adobe's marketing practices as the reason people use Photoshop instead of Gimp, I call bullshit. You'll find many more photographers using Affinity Photo than Gimp, and considering Gimp is free, that says a lot. Who will you find using Gimp? Developers that need a photo editor. Why? They're so used to holding on the faucet that they don't even recognize when they see a properly working one. (And they'll often get really mad for even implying it needs to be fixed.) You also don't see that split with Inkscape. Most people who professionally work with vector art choose Illustrator as their primary tool, but most of them cite exactly the reasons developers assume people continue to use photoshop: overall smoothness, ecosystem integration, file type compatibility, etc. There are some legitimate shortcomings in Inkscape-- the type tools are just not as good which matters for graphic designers, for example. But lots of people who do vector art professionally do use inkscape.
Central banks seem to cause more trouble than good. Just a flaw of human nature and bad checks/balances.

From what I understand, Milei will be in the same quagmire as Trump. Limited executive authority and dependent on lawmakers who are either outright undermining him or pretending not to publicly. Though Milei is far more aggressive with his disdain for government bloat.

These kind of speculations are so strange. How do he know that the Roman soldiers didn't use the javalins as spears? Like, he speculates to much.

In 43 years of programming, it's by far the most readable of the several dozen languages I've used.

That I routinely can convert code from other languages and end up with something far smaller and more readable is another major plus.

That is all I need to defend its design.

For me it is still airflow noise. I can’t really hear my compressors. But this is one of those blind men and elephant things. If you live in detached housing with space between houses and at least some attention to noise mitigation it is a complete non-issue. When I live in a single room with a heat pump inside with me, it is a huge issue.

It is unlikely that Apple would make a worse product in this category to enter a price war that they cannot win. Part of the Apple strategy is to be seen as the best option, and pricing is a part of that.

You’re paying to have an experience that is about serving you rather than advertisers. If that’s worth money to you, buy it. Otherwise, you get what you pay for: as crappy a device they can get away with, subsidized by ads.
And I'm asking why you would, when that appears to lead to lower income in the situation you described. Will you explain?
I wish they'd make another Altered Carbon season. And bring back Joel Kinnaman. The first season was amazing.
I mean I don’t think predicting the future is something that typically involves rigor. The outcome is pretty clear: whatever makes a ton of money. Probably a trusted friend in your pocket that sometimes helps you buy stuff. The most negative predictions are silly because they don’t involve making a ton of money for anybody.
Do you want quiet quitters? Because that's how you get quiet quitters.

There's a big gap between full-productivity and a fireable work ethic.
A) If you surveyed the same number of developers to contribute to the project and they said no, would you make the same inference about all developers? I think you're assuming more than you realize.

B) The number of successful FOSS projects with interfaces good enough for people who don't have a working mental model of the way software operates is vanishingly small. Firefox... though they actually have a formidable team of designers. Inkscape I'd say. But almost every successful FOSS project caught hold in the technical community, and no further. Sometimes it's barely good enough for that... I mean hell... look at Eclipse. Compare its features on paper to what you get in commercial editors and then see how many developers use it voluntarily.

C) One thing few developers understand about interface design is that adding features here and there to make things better doesn't really work like it does with, say, an API. It involves analysis, talking to people who use the software, coming up with a strategy, and implementing that strategy. Usually that strategy isn't the sort of thing you can implement piecemeal, which is why most significant UI updates today involve making a completely new design, and letting users enable the entire thing as they see fit.

My statement is that if you're really concerned about a service being a bad actor you would avoid it entirely to avoid propping it up at all unless it's an essential service.

I am concerned about the new management of Twitter so I deleted my account and stopped using the service. It's very empty to claim you won't pay for a service because you are morally opposed to their service while continuing to use said service.
You can't do this here, and I've banned the account.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll use HN as intended in the future.
You mean dividing features into fixed-size timeboxes without even bothering to fully define them isn't objectionable?
That guy seemed really annoyed the whole time. It was strange!
I found myself frequently using ChatGPT to learn about new topics. I prefer it over Wikipedia because when I don't understand something, I can just ask it and it can clarify it for me until I get it. However, I found the chat UI to be unideal for this sort of thing, so I created this website using a UX that is aimed at educational use.

UniFi does not allow me to redirect DNS traffic / disable rDNS for IPv6.

I should maybe dig a bit deeper into what he is saying, but every-time I get excited about some development I get discouraged by his views. Perhaps they are realistic, but I prefer to dream sometimes.
Would be cool to see something like this used for the next iteration of Civilization.
in my opinion, Ruby (and also aforementioned perl back in it's era, but this would be pointless to defend) is one of the languages where syntax and semantics looks like they took order of magnitude more thought than most of other languages.
Yeah, Indiana also had an interesting three way battle between Chicago, Louisville, and Indianapolis. A lot of population near Chicago getting Chicago broadcasts (Central), a lot of population near Louisville getting Louisville broadcasts (Eastern), with the state capital Indianapolis interestingly caught up in the middle (physically closer to Chicago, but maybe emotionally more connected to Louisville) which itself as a city eventually after a lot of back and forth settled on Eastern time following Louisville's lead as one of the westernmost cities in the timezone.

Indiana's Daylight Time mistakes were fascinating. It wasn't that the state didn't adopt it, it was that originally the state allowed it to be a per-county decision as timezones have always been in Indiana. At one point in time if you were traveling I-65 which is nearly due north/south between Louisville and Indianapolis you could experience four different timezones (CST, EST, CDT, and EDT) and which ones agreed with each other obviously depended on which month you were traveling. Since Indiana went state-wide Daylight Time and Indianapolis decided on EDT once and for all, all of I-65 today is EDT I believe, but it is still strange to remember the years where that wasn't the case.

(ETA: one of the underappreciated homogenizing factors here has been the modern cellphone. People would get really confused if their cellphones hopped an hour back/forth every so many miles as you passed county lines. In the eras of paper maps and hand-set clock radios in cars that would have mattered a lot less.)
Simplicity is why I detest the Javascript syntax and love the Ruby syntax. I spend far more time reading code than worrying about very simple rules for how to write the arguments, and so readability matters far more.
> If your friends can't accept that you will ruthlessly lie, betray, abandon and/or backstab them in a game that is designed for just such actions, are they really good friends?

Ehhh I think what OP means is that this game can surface known or unknown tensions between friends and colleagues.

No friendship is bulletproof, odds are even your best friends annoy you sometimes.

I saw two 'best' friends basically scuttle their friendship during a game of Diplomacy about 20 years ago, so I've seen this first hand.

It turns out these lifelong friends had all manner of unresolved issues, that perhaps they could have worked through with intention, but a particularly ruthless game of Diplomacy brought it all out in an uncontrolled manner, and that was that.

So yeah, people are complicated and messy, and I don't think the issue at hand is "being lied to and betrayed in a game".
Can't use it in my iPhone 13 mini: the cookie prompt is rendered below (in Z terms) of the fretboard, becoming unclickable.

My suggestion is to add some sort of splash or landing page, as landing on a message telling me to tilt my phone was confusing, and that landing page could also prompt for cookie consent before moving to the actual app.
Training AIs to manipulate human trust seems like a really good idea
It depends on the temperature they burn at. You need pretty high heats to combust dioxins, for example, and from some very light skimming of the USA's standards I think you also need various filters and scrubbers for heavy metals (especially mercury which will boil away at these temperatures).

This stuff can be done, but it's expensive. I also don't know how close to 100% it gets even if everything is done properly. And of course to fully remediate this all of the equipment has to be operating properly.
With no pressure, I guess such systems would last longer than current heat pumps.
It sounds like you prefer something that's more sensational simply because it's more sensational
It's possible, but right now it doesn't show me ads. I turn on the power and it goes to the last input.

I doubt that it will happen because I don't think enough people will buy Apple TVs and because I think adulterating an external input might be a bridge too far. It would be hard to integrate that into the experience without feeling really jarring.

I guess the problem I have with your comment is that it's the type of thing you could say about anything. Apple could decide to change the Apple TV interface to be 90% ads. Amazon could decide to disable HDMI ports on the TVs. Amazon could decide to stop making the Prime Video app for platforms that aren't Fire TVs. All streaming apps could decide that streaming is BS and go back to physical media. Net neutrality could go away and ISPs could mandate insecure connections where they could inject ads into stuff. The comment feels like the equivalent of "you can't prove god doesn't exist!"

Your comment isn't wrong, but it's also kinda useless. A person can buy an Apple TV today and enjoy its experience. Yes, that might change in the future. Our world is always changing and nothing you purchase will be good forever. However, from a practical standpoint, the Apple TV is offering a wonderful experience today and likely will for years to come. If I listen to your comment, why do anything because someone could come along and make it crap?

>Assuming that garbage has the same density of water

It is probably much less dense.

>Moreover, Wikipedia says Switzerland has 15,940 square miles of land, so that will only take up 0.006% of the country's land area.

I do not think many landfills are located in mountains and Switzerland is fairly mountainous. The available livable and arable land is a fraction of its total land area.
>I find that an odd takeaway.

I agree 100%, and to me, that's the problem.

>To me seeing a 60% drop in car fatalities per mile suggests change can be accelerated and we can tackle large scale issues. The Chlorofluorocarbon ban doesn’t mean we are finished solving environmental problems, it means we can actually solve them. Similarly the drop in US CO2 emissions doesn’t mean the problem is solved, just that significant progress is achievable.

I agree - neither of these are contrary to my criticism.

Everyone likes to pat themselves on the back, but how well are we (and for me, that includes the well being of all people on the planet) doing on an absolute scale (what is possible)? This is a very odd and unpopular question.

Ask HN: Anyone having problems accessing their Mercury account?
Everyone at my company with access to the bank account is getting the following message when they try to log in:

It looks like you don’t currently have access to any Mercury accounts. If you believe this is a mistake, contact an account admin or email help@mercury.com.

And their help@ is replying with a form email:

"Our Customer Support team is currently receiving a higher volume of inquiries than usual. Please anticipate that general inquiries will receive a response within 2–3 business days..."

Is this a bug that a lot of people are experiencing? Does anyone know someone who can help quicker than 2-3 business days?

Because it provides a clearer way of enforcing calling conventions. Calling a method with the wrong keyword argument raises an error automatically. Calling a method with hash arguments the method expect replies on the method manually checking for unexpected keys. In Ruby as in other languages it was error prone.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words

I'm just new to devops stuff because the things I usually build don't get that much traffic, and a single server did the job without the need for CDNs, load balancers, etc. I had to figure this stuff out just now over the past few hours to help the site cope with all the load.

I haven't upgraded to ChatGPT 4 yet, but given it can now supposedly do web searches (including searching github?) I've signed up for the wait list.
Is it worth it, based on feedback here?
I'm particularly interested in how it might be able to help me with source code found on github. Does anyone know how much of that source code is part of ChatGPT-3's training data? I asked about it about a few slightly esoteric classes/ids etc. but it didn't know about them.

The other thing I was hoping to do be able to do is process much larger inputs - e.g. ~20k of HTML I wanted it to simplify for me. Is that realistic?
Thanks, I was travelling at the time and completely missed all of this!
I've never really heard of that being a thing except for ones you burn yourself. Optical media is pretty stable unless (re) writable, so I'm surprised. I've played 20 year old DVDs without issue, fwiw.

Let's build an API.

I need a CI/CD pipeline to deploy it.

I should use a static code analysis tool.

I need an observability tool!

Let's to security code reviews.

Do I have a SBOM?

Which MFA should I use?

Should I put it inside a container or go serverless?

Better generate a OpenAPI spec!

Do I have enough tests?

Oh, I need blue/green deployments!

Should I deploy to the edge?

I don't understand why you people use 'games' when referring to free to play gacha. Cosmetic or not. Hint: if it's cosmetic only the game is designed to get you to buy cosmetics. It's still not designed to entertain you.

It's simple: there are games and gacha. Mobiles mostly don't have games, only gacha.

I don't think that's a real legal defense. Code is just as subject to copyright as game assets (why wouldn't it be? it's just another kind of game asset), and the whole extracting assets thing making decompilations free from copyright infringement that gets bandied about is complete armchair lawyering. It's only by Nintendo's good graces these are still allowed to be hosted on GitHub.
