I reported about 5 such ads just this moth, all clear financial scams impersonating well known people and companies in Czech republic (where I live), only to be told that youtube checked my claim and that the add in question doesn't break any youtube policy.

Yeah, I mean stuff you can't or won't put into the client-server communication. At some level of detail it becomes wasteful.

For example a multi-step form, where you can browse for options, have a lot of filters such as logic that displays different options based on previously selected ones and so on.

It's not that you can't do it via HTTP. But it's also wasteful. For this kind of stuff you don't need to pay for the round-trips. The server doesn't need to know anything about the UI state here. The only transactional parts are the entry point and the final result.

Things like these are a great place for "interactive islands". You can architect the skeleton and all the actually transactional parts as a normal HTTP/REST site, that exchanges HTML and so on. But for the parts that are really _just_ UI related state like the above, it's unnecessary work (compute/complexity/networking) to do so. Other examples include: interactive visualizations via SVG/WebGL, rich text editing and so on. All of those things are relatively common things.

What I was getting at above, is that it will get messy if you have JS state like that and but you don't write it in a way where the JS "owns" the DOM, from start to finish, for that component or island. It doesn't have to be react/redux or w/e. There are simpler, more performant solutions that lean on web standards and are much lighter weight like Lit etc.
You have no sources or evidence for these claims because they aren't true.
This is just about the worst example you could have used for your theory. In this case there are thousands of people that could have just done a 1:1 copy of what they do in Switzerland, Portugal, Netherlands, Scandinavia etc. Instead they copied only the carrot (treatment and harm reduction). Then they didn't just not copy the stick (prison, consequences for missing treatment) they threw away all their sticks.

With this in mind I can understand why many people are now against harm reduction of any kind, when the same people that fucked it all up in the first place now want to try again.

Locking people up for being addicts is not the same as locking people up for using in the street.

What is wrong with this approach:

Doing drugs isn’t a crime, but all bad behavior associated with it is.

If someone’s addiction has become unmanageable to the point where they are doing drugs on the street, it is a kindness and a necessity to take their agency away from them.

If someone is an addict but otherwise functions, it is none of anyone’s business.
I'm really surprised they use heuristics like this to decide the best video to show.

If I were them, I would make a neural network to predict which video quality a user is least likely to switch away from. Then default to that.

Inputs to the network should be country, detected network speed, CPU speed, browser, screen resolution, etc. also include the users history of changing resolutions - a user who frequently decreases the resolution is probably conscious of bandwidth and therefore doesn't want to default to HD even if their device is capable.

The network can probably be tiny (perhaps just a few thousand weights), so could run on either the client or the server.

Just look at the history of credit card security.

It started with just having Name / Card Number / Expiry, all of which are printed right on the card, being all that was necessary to conduct a transaction.

Then they put a magnetic strip on the back of the card and storing the same information in plain text on that strip.

Then they started printing a "secret" 3 or 4 digit number (CVC) on the card for "extra" security.

Now we have chips in cards which helps with brick and mortar transactions in an era when most transactions are online.

For the disability cap, it should simply be eliminated. What do I care if some millionaire kid gets SS and Medicare? They are likely paying for it in taxes (or should be).

I'd rather that than have someone lose healthcare because they saved $15k (1970 2k in today's money). Or worse, because Grandma left them an inheritance not knowing the impact that has on their heath coverage.

Severe disability does not go away after your bank account hits 2k.
The chip is the most important part of a computer, but most chip companies do not capture much of the value created with the computer. An OEM pays about as much for an intel i3 chip as they pay of a windows license, and intel actually has to produce the chip.

This is why Apple has been so successful with Apple Silicon: Apple is able to capture way more of the value created with Apple devices, which is why they're able to invest more in chips then Intel/AMD and yes, even Qualcomm.

Show HN: Open-source macOS AI copilot using vision and voice
Heeey! I built a macOS copilot that has been useful to me, so I open sourced it in case others would find it useful too.

It's pretty simple:

- Use a keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot of your active macOS window and start recording the microphone.

- Speak your question, then press the keyboard shortcut again to send your question + screenshot off to OpenAI Vision

- The Vision response is presented in-context/overlayed over the active window, and spoken to you as audio.

- The app keeps running in the background, only taking a screenshot/listening when activated by keyboard shortcut.

It's built with NodeJS/Electron, and uses OpenAI Whisper, Vision and TTS APIs under the hood (BYO API key).

There's a simple demo and a longer walk-through in the GH readme https://github.com/elfvingralf/macOSpilot-ai-assistant, and I also posted a different demo on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ralfelfving/status/1732044723630805212
tl;dr

Paleontologists in Canada have made a new discovery concerning dinosaurs. They found a 75-million-year-old baby dinosaur skeleton belonging to the Gorgosaurus libratus species. What makes this finding so important is that its stomach contained the remains of two young Citipes elegans dinosaurs.

No, working with modules requires the ability to place some JARs on the classpath and some on the classpath arbitrarily. Any kind of automatic decision regarding what should be placed on the classpath and what on the module path misunderstands how modules are supposed to work. The -cp and -p flags don't and aren't supposed to differentiate between different kinds of JAR contents. If they did, you're absolutely right that the different flags wouldn't be needed -- the JDK could have looked inside the JAR and automatically say this is supposed to be a module or not; the reason they are needed is because that's not what the flags mean.

A module in Java is really a different mode of resolving classes and applying various encapsulation protections. If x.jar is a JAR file, `-cp x.jar` means "apply certain rules to the resolution and access protection of the classes in the JAR" while `-p x.jar` means "apply different rules for those same classes". In most situations both `-cp x.jar` and `-p x.jar` would work for the same x.jar, applying those different rules, regardless of whether x.jar declares module-info or not. The decision of which rules need to be applied belongs to the application, not the JAR itself; being a module or not is not something intrinsic to the JAR, it's a rule chosen by the application.

It's a little like choosing whether or not to run a program in a container. You can't look at the executable and say this should run in a container or not. The decision of whether to set up a container is up to the user when configuring their setup. module-info basically means: if the user sets up a container to run me, then these are hints to help configure the dockerfile. In an even stronger sense, a module is similar to a class loader configuration; some classes may work better with some classloader configurations than with others, but ultimately the decision on the setup is not something intrinsic to the classes but to the application that loads them, and the same goes for modules.

So having the build tool or the JDK guess which rules need to apply to which classes makes as much sense as having them guess the proper heap and GC configuration the application needs -- you can have an okayish default, but for serious work the app developer needs to say what they want. The JDK makes it very easy; build tools make it very hard.

Yes I prefer to find the actual facts in a situation and pick sides (if at all) in that situation based on those facts not a predetermined "corporation bad, billionaire bad". Criticism loses all meaning if not based on fact and actually hurts the cause because then even meaningful criticism can be dismissed as baseless.

> Monopolies aren’t illegal. Only the abuse of a monopoly position to advance your interest in other markets is illegal.

It should be though. Unchecked monopolies, duopolies and oligopolies are antithetical to a free market economy - they stifle competition and make the market un-free as well:

- for employees, they're bad because monopolies (or cartels) suppress their freedom to go to a better employer. The best case to look at is actually the tech sector, where large corporations colluded to keep compensation down [1], but there's also more evil cases like WalMart that go as far as underpay their employees so badly that they can only survive on food stamps [6].

- for suppliers, they're bad (in the correct term of a monopsony) because having only a few (or only one) buyer depresses their ability to get fair prices for products, e.g. in agriculture [2], or in WalMart [3][4]

- for customers, they're bad because they can't (realistically) go to alternatives, especially if the monopoly in question has extinguished competitors by advantages of scale - again, WalMart is a nasty example [5].

- for society as a whole, they're bad because, again, large actors like WalMart can devastate vibrant community centers like malls, leading to dereliction of entire neighborhoods in a domino effect [7], and eventually the erosion of local tax bases, leading to funding issues for basic government services.

It's a ludicrous defense. Regulators don't want to be seen as anti-business or as hampering innovation. It's perfectly reasonable for regulators to adopt a "wait and see" approach to outlandish claims about safety and self-driving technology. However, when it it's clear that Autopilot does not (and will not) behave as advertised, then they have every right to take action.

Regulators took a similar hands-off approach to AirBnB and Uber, despite those companies violating many established laws. Despite the angry Taxi companies and Hotel chains angrily demanding enforcement and a leveling of the playing field. But regulators did nothing. Why? Because, despite their faults, AirBnB and Uber serve a real customer need.

Crypto? Same story. Regulators waited to see if the crypto industry could deliver the promised value to society. If crypto is useful then it can be made to fit within the regulatory framework. If crypto is just a facilitator of fraud and ponzi schemes then harsh regulatory action is justified. Crypto largely has not delivered on its promises, and now the wheels of justice have started grinding.

Delayed enforcement makes innovation possible, especially innovation of the "move fast break things" kind.

>I wonder how hard it would be to backport the integer behavior to C.

Clang and gcc have flags that can make integer overflow trap.
There are compiler flags that OpenBSD could be using but aren't, which would have caught this bug without needing to convert the codebase to Rust. Using -Wconversion would have warned on the mismatched signedness of the MAX macro argument (the unsigned integer, sysno) and its result (being assigned to npins, a signed integer). Alternatively, adding -fsanitize=implicit-integer-sign-change, or a UBSan flag that includes this, would detect this at runtime for the actual range of values that end up causing a change of sign.

Though, these would also be triggered by statements like:

pins[SYS_kbind] = -1;

Due to the pins array being of unsigned int, so all this sort of code would need to be fixed too.
My bad, I thought npins was unsigned.

There are some scenes in the latest episode of Foundation, particularly those in Trantor, where I found the shots/focus with "weird" focus and depths of field. I have a personal theory that those were already shot with spatial video capture, designed for Vision Pro in mind.

>How did Spotify get away not having a union for over 15 years?

I think you are missing the point here. You seem to be basing your expectations on one union by how another union behaves. I have no idea why they do what they do, but this is not some kind of US hate thing - that's a bit far-fetched in my opinion.

Ask yourself this: Where you live, is the culture and history of a union representing metalworkers the same as those that would be representing someone from Spotify? In most countries, unions in different areas act very differently. Programmers, metalworkers, miners, academia - their unions are more often than not very different.

Margins are not determined by how many companies sell certain products, but rather by willing the individual buyer is to consider different products. Both Apple and Microsoft can charge high prices for MacOS and Windows, because most Mac and Windows users will not consider another OS. But most people who currently use a laptop with an Intel chip will consider a laptop with an AMD chip, and vice versa, even speaking of an Intel user or an AMD user feels wrong.
