50 miles outside of Boston is an hour away, not 20 minutes. 50 miles outside of Boston it can get really rural.

I'd also point out modern cellular home internet can give a pretty different experience than what you get on your cell phone. Antenna design and placement can be a lot better. You can place the antenna in a place where you're more likely to get good reception instead of deep inside your house. The frequencies and channels used can sometimes be pretty different. You're less power limited than your phone. In the apartment where my family lives their phone cell service isn't very great but as mentioned they get low latency several hundred megabit service through their router near a window.
You can just write whatever in that form. It doesn't get checked. That's why some distros have packages for davinci resolve - they just POST random data to the website. For example

Discussions around Israel disproportionately descend into highly polarised opposites. It's a shame @dang allowed this one through.
> They didn’t suggest a Council of the Elect. Instead, they proposed that we should “make AI work for eight billion people, not eight billionaires”. It might be nice to hear from some of those 8bn voices.

Good sloganizing, A+++ would slogan with them.

But any concrete suggestions?
The problem with humanity is we are really poor at recognizing all the ramifications of things when they happen.

Did the indigenous people of north America recognize the threat that they'd be driven to near extinction in a few hundred years when a boat showed up? Even if they did, could they have done anything about it, the germs and viruses that would lead to their destruction had been quickly planted.

Many people focus on the pseudo-religious connotations of a technological singularity instead of the more traditional "loss of predictability" definition. Decreasing predictability of the future state of the world stands to destabilize us far more likely than the FOOM event. If you can't predict your enemies actions, you're more apt to take offensive action. If you can't (at least somewhat) predict the future market state then you may pull all investment. The AI doesn't have to do the hard work here, with potential economic collapse and war humans have shown the capability to put themselves at risk.

And the existential risks are the improbable ones. The "Big Brother LLM" where you're watched by a sentiment analysis AI for your entire life and if you try to hide from it you disappear forever are much more, very terrible, likelihoods.
With all their employees and machine learning people Netflix couldn't find a single data scientist to present this in a nicer way?

All we get is an Excel sheet dump with a huge list, not even grouped by series? Not to mention regions, languages, genres, some graphs, etc.

I'm a bit surprised to be honest.
And the US does operate closely with Mexican forces to root them out. In addition, the govt in Mexico is cooperative. If that is not the case, I think we’ll see a much more hostile response.

that is a "diamond product expert" acting as a supposed go between, I'm not sure they really have some advanced access to google staff (considering the expert programs I'm in), so it doesn't really add any clarity to the situation
"Beef" was pretty great, I'd recommend that. I'm surprised to see no mention of "The Witcher", though, I figured that would've ranked relatively highly despite the many creative shortcomings of the show.
As a developer I love the idea. Choosing Postgres over say a GraphQL API is bold, but it makes sense. The customer can then scale up their Postgres instance as they hammer it more and more, and they might already being using this for their app, so developers can add it to their ORM. Or they could wrap this in a microservice.

I also liked the submission recently about a git client that uses SQL. I like the idea that more things can be exposed as SQL (either directly or by syncing with a RDBMS). There is a lot of good tooling around it and despite the S not meaning Standard, the dialects are close enough that it isn't a problem.
If you ask GPT to refactor a single threaded program much smaller than the context window that is truly out of sample into a multithreaded program, its often going to fail. GPT has trouble understanding bit masks in single threaded code, let alone multiple threads.

There are many Israeli (Jewish) students who go to Europe for medical school.

A lot of this has to do with Americans going to Israeli medical schools who take up the space, and it is doubtful this has to do with the individual you met who was Muslim.

This past year Israel actually banned/limited the number of Americans who can enroll in their medical schools. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-ends-lucrative-american...

1. What stocks should I buy to invest in this?
2. How good of an idea is this?
"Beef" was the only Netflix show I liked in a long while. Have since canceled Netflix.
That is not what the reports say. They certainly indicate some intelligence failures, unclear whether in the intelligence services themselves or in the way the reports were handled. But there's a huge difference between "we knew this attack was going to happen and let it happen" vs. "we made a mistake here".

And also worth noting, there's internal Israeli politics involved in all these reports - Netanyahu wants to show that the failure was on the military/intelligence side and not on his side.

It is completely baseless to claim that Israel knew about the attack and let it happen - no serious person is suggesting that.
Sub numbers? How would you exactly relate sub numbers vs shows? Try and graph how many people only watched 1 show, or watched that show right after joining?
It's either done as a hobby and/or the reputational etc. benefits support their "brand" in their pursuits that they do get paid for.
Disney Animation has been using a clip from Steamboat Willy (and the song) as their opening bumper for years.

It was originally done when John Lassiter took over Disney Animation as an homage to his idol Walt. But some IP lawyers have said that it may also make it impossible to use Steamboat Willy in the public domain because they could claim you're violating their copyright on their bumper.

Will be interesting to see if that gets tested.
The obvious question: do you watch a lot of TV shows on Netflix? Because these are all [edit: not all, but mostly] Netflix originals/exclusives.

I ask because as a Netflix user, these titles are constantly being pushed to me when I open up the app.
Is there really a shortage of companies that are trying to do foundational AI research, and also build the results of that research into end-user products? Off the top of my head, the list of such companies would include... you know, literally every large tech company. If the idea here is that they can do it at a much smaller scale, and more cheaply, that's great. But it's not clear to me from this article what the radical new approach is that will enable that.

I wonder if putting out effectively a press release before actually doing the work is the right approach. If they launch a product or two and they flop, people will say this approach was doomed from the start. It would be better to create a compelling product in stealth, successfully launch it, then reveal how it was done. That would create more buy-in to the idea that such small R&D labs can work.
All of my Wheel of Time volumes are still there; I checked. Granted, barring fire or a really thorough or oddly specific burglar, they're not likely to go anywhere (although I suspect my son will devour them once he's mastered reading English and can reach that top shelf).
Plenty of Palestinians oppose Hamas and want peace and a free Palestinian state according to the '67 borders. These would be the equivalents on the other side.

Maybe in some places that might be true, but people are still in jail from the past.

Vancouver has vacancy tax laws, they don't seem to do much in practice. I think vacant units are highly visible, but are actually a small part of the market in practice.

Maybe they accept the possibility that they die one day?
Neat. The best way to learn something is to post something wrong on a forum and wait for experts to correct you :). I hadn’t considered using puffs of air. I do still think adapting it for a commercial airliner may be tricky but it would be neat if one day a bunch of tech came together to realize this.
The demo on Twitter is a lot cooler, partially because you scroll to show the AI what the page has. Maybe there's a more impressive demo to put on the GH too?
> A component being on a separate chip is orthogonal to whether it's isolated. In order to be isolated, the drivers need to treat it as untrusted.

YES!

Funny joke and not inaccurate, but as a regular Dungeon Master, there have definitely been times where I'll say I don't know! For example:

- "Sorry, I'm not sure right now how that class feature would work in this situation. For now, let's assume it works like X so we don't have to bog down the session to google the answers or scour the books, and I'll take the time to look it up later and make sure we do the correct thing going forward."

- "You know what, I actually don't know what happens in this kingdom if the king is incapacitated, but still alive, I didn't think to prepare for that scenario! Um, roll me a history check, and if you get a 15 or higher, then you'll have heard of this happening before, and you tell us what happens!"

- "Ok friends, I didn't expect you to just go north into the woods and build a raft to cross the river. I literally have nothing prepared for this scenario, so instead of me making up something bad, let's call the session for now, and I'll prepare something that I know will be fun for next time."
I saw exactly that in my first apartment complex in Mountain View.

The part coccinelle does is the part GPT is good at, the problem is neither of them actually reason about the code
Well said; I agree wholeheartedly.
code under MIT-0 is still copyrighted to its original author - it just authorizes derivative work to be done without explicitly mentioning it (which is different from public domain)
It's not justification, but the reality. War is horrible and innocent people will always die in war.
Yes of course. But the GP said it isn’t possible. It is. It’s not even hard.

But I did disclaim that it had to be somewhat intentional.
> [versus (iirc) ZFS which may have metadata blocks scattered throughout the disk, probably requiring more intricate code to keep track of].

So -- you think redundant metadata is a bad thing? Try wiping your metadata and then trying to fsck that random disk image.

Again, has this been the source of data corruption you're aware of? This seems like a "Maybe, it could be this way, but I don't know" kind of take.
The carve out for US Government work is explicitly stated in the statute. Not only does that not create a precedent for others to create copyright-free works, but if anything it makes the case that exceptions to copyright-by-default have to be explicitly defined in law.

OSI approving something is meaningless from a legal standpoint, it’s just some people on the internet. Even were that not the case, creating a license is not the same as renouncing copyright. Which, again, it isn’t clear that it is possible to do under US copyright law.

Edit: to be clear, MIT-0 doesn’t even attempt to renounce copyright. It merely provides slightly broader rights to holders of a license to the copyrighted work.
Very hard to guess how it might all shake out. I would say that both Jeremy and I have an almost fanatical belief in the power of uncredentialed outsiders. So I would guess we will be more looking for curious open-minded generalists more than any specific age or experience level. I do expect we will grow headcount rather slowly, but that doesn’t mean we will launch infrequently
You're of course right that there are many more than two sides to the topic, but there's a strong tendency for users (being human) to identify with one or the other side in this war, and that's what I was referring to. I take your point that my wording was unclear there, and even a grain of unclarity is pretty dangerous in this context.
I just wanted a simple language for writing down algorithms, so I think I hacked up the first version in one afternoon. It must have been T2, because AFAIR I never implemented T1. Here is a page containing some of the past T3X compilers: http://t3x.org/t3x/ and here is an incomplete and inaccurate history of T3X: http://t3x.org/t3x/family.html
Very interesting but not unexpected to see Korean shows doing very well, seems in line with film and music. The country's really becoming a pop culture powerhouse.
It's hard to look at the events of October 7 and not conclude that they are "unholy abomination, morally disgusting".

It may be that they were provoked by equally abominable behavior by the other side. I'll leave that to each person's conscience. But it's quite undeniable that at least one side committed unspeakable atrocities, and there's no merit in saying "Oh, there's no point in demonizing them just because they disagree".

This isn't a difference of opinion. There is actual violence going on, like real horror-movie stuff. It may be that both sides are demonic, but there's no way to make the case that neither side is.
Lua programming language needs a web hosting
Not anymore but even If I haven't watched it I'll probably hear about it from friends/online/twitter etc if it's any good.
I wonder if this data dump is a consequence of the recent SAG and WGA agreements. A large part of their fight was about Netflix opening up the numbers. I was under the impression that it was to be done privately, but maybe they have to release this publicly and a lot more data privately to the Guilds.
I completely agree that Israel should be held (and hold itself) to a higher standard than Hamas.

I think one thing Israelis... dislike... is that often Israel is held to higher standards than every other country on Earth, is held to impossible standards. And when it falls short of those standards - it is considered proof that Israel is evil.
Do you have a version that doesn't need Windows and/or a Microsoft account? Or an uncut video of someone using it?
Yeah, I never understood this sort of thing.

I get paying to support artists and stay on the right side of the law/ethics.

I get downloading a copy of something without paying for a license because it's easier/unavailable to purchase/want to check it out first/it's free!!

But why pay for a bootleg copy?
I was going to link to Polis after I read the first part of your answer, but I see you’ve beaten me to it. And in so doing you’ve pretty much answered your own question. Thanks!
I don't want to pick sides in this sad generational conflict and I can see each side has their points but I want this parasitic Israel-US relationship to end.

AIPAC has worked hard over the years to make any politicians with the slightest opposition to Israel to be unelectable. I don't see how that's ok. They pretty much own the US government at federal and state levels. They have passed laws at the state level where boycotting Israeli goods are now illegal (how is that law even constitutional?)

So the first step for ordinary citizens is to make anyone supported by AIPAC unelectable. The billions of dollars / year of aid to Israel, Egypt, etc. that could be spent domestically instead also needs to be cut.
>The pauses to consider if we should do <action>, before we actually do <action>.

Unless there has been an effective gatekeeper, that's almost never happened in history. With nuclear the gatekeeper is it's easy to detect. With genetics there pretty universal revulsion to it to the point a large portion of most populations are concerned about it.

But with AI, to most people it's just software. And pretty much it is, if you want a universal ban of AI you really are asking for authoritarian type controls on it.
How would that warrant work? It would require apple being forced to send a software update that told every phone about every geofence and then have those phones report back if they intersected.

_or_ they can just ask the carriers which cellphones are where, which they are already able to do despite it being fairly questionable to me.
They are state-owned media for an authoritarian government that is hostile to Israel. They are incentivized to make Israel look bad.
As an anecdote that is completely contrary to yours. I also recently worked in startups (within the last year), and practically single person in the founding team I worked alongside was an avid gamer.

I think the proportion of gamers in the tech sphere vs others is likely overall higher than the norm. I do honestly find it hard to believe others don't think gaming is common in tech.

On my current team in a definitely non-startup corporate-y atmosphere, even many of the devs well into their 40s and above are avid gamers to this day. Meanwhile I'm 30 and while I don't play very often anymore I definitely was one as a teen into my early 20's.
Show HN: Save Yourself from Notification Insanity (MacOS)

- What kinds of filters did you set for yourself and find most useful!

- What kinds of notifications are you most hoping a tool like this could help you deal with
> the point of a terrorist attack is to trigger an over reaction

I don't agree with that at all, the point of a terrorist attack is to continue a war of attrition. An overreaction is actually the worst thing that can happen to terrorists: It nullifies their attempt to win via small incremental attritional steps. The reason why the US didn't win the war against terror is because it didn't attack the core ideology that causes the terror. For example in their fight against Nazi ideology in post war Germany the US "overreacted" hard and made sure that Germany was forced to make the nazi ideology wholly illegal and every depiction of a nazi symbol in public illegal.
They dont want to let Hamas in. Hamas comes from the Egypt, now banned, Muslim brotherhood party.

If they let 1-2 mil Palestinians, the sinai penninsula would be taken over.
If the vast majority of HN users can't juggle three balls simultaneously, but the few experts can, it seems fair that the experts shouldn't be restricted from juggling, as long as they comply with the rules.
Replace htmx with alpine js and I think the twitterers have some point. Eh, probably even with htmx.

It is true that the average WordPress developer might not care about XSS, and to refute one specific point: I have seen third-party returning HTML, plenty of them.

Deliberately acting on the contents response instead of directly executing code from said party forces you to think about XSS.

But it's not specific to htmx of course, it would be the same when using innerHTML or something while using a field in a JSON API response.

It's true that frameworks like React have safer defaults than Vanilla JS in that regard.
My heart goes out to those affected. Thats very rough.

I know this isn't directly related to the article at hand or anything either, but I feel like I'm seeing a real uptick in November / December layoffs. Is it just me or was it really not a thing companies did with such frequency around the holidays?

I feel like its as much a shedding of costs as it is a flex of big business trying to show strength because they all hate any inch of worker gains in the past 3 years that were made.

In other news: It appears that Hasbro is shifting to become a trading card and video game company, per the article:

>Meanwhile, Hasbro subsidiary Wizards of the Coast, which publishes both Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, is experiencing all-time highs for both revenue earned and the number of players engaged in those brands

>One area of investment for Hasbro appears to be the video game sector. Its latest project, Exodus, made a big splash last week at The Game Awards.

Seems like they're trying to gear up those divisions while winding down their toy division at least somewhat. Its unclear if their stragetic growth with WOTC will also include investments in table top games there or if they will be primarily focused on the core money makers around Magic: The Gathering.

If they can hit big in video games that will certainly bolster revenue though. We shall see if Hasbro is about to be an unexpected giant entrant into that industry
I’ve been curious about the walkolution but am struggling with the price. How do you like it overall? Do you feel like your gait is much different from a powered treadmill? Is it much quieter than powered treadmills?
Heh. I remember calling it Mac OS back in the day and getting corrected that it's actually OS X, as in "OS ten," and hasn't been called Mac OS since Mac OS 9. Glad Apple finally saw it my way (except it's cased macOS).
More the safety of their bottom line I'd guess

Basically answer two questions:

1 - How much minimal time does a consumer watch Netflix to re-subscribe?
2 - How much content spend is necessary to achieve that minimal viewing time?

Everything else is waste and lost margin.
Maybe they netflixed and chilled.
Funny, I was going to comment how refreshing it is to see a raw Excel data dump instead of insights tortured to whatever agenda by a data science team. Regions and genres would be nice though.
You ask the question, however by replying you attain the same value as of the comment above you.
Yeah, so far, we’ve found that this combination of the three APIs is a happy medium between reliability, simplicity, and API limit consciousness.
Why wasn’t this chip more common in arcade and game consoles vs. 6502 and Z80? Cost?
Maybe rockets wouldn't be shot if Israel would not illegally occupy territories.

It seems pretty logical to me that when a state starts illegally extending its borders pretty much immediately after its formation, their neighbors will not be happy about it and will fight back.

No need to be an antisemite to understand this, it's just common sense.
