This is a more scientifically accurate description. It’s not addictive in the sense that your brain craves it’s chemicals but it definitely is habit-forming, watching video after video after video on electric motors and their construction has sent me down rabbit holes.

But Apple sure did market iMusic as a legitimate replacement for owned physical media while never mentioning the the fact you don't own it and it may disappear at any time. That fact is only mentioned buried somewhere in the EULA, and only popularized by people like the EFF and the victims.

Hard disagree. I’d imagine the average worker affected here doesn’t get to 'recuperate with their family' but rather have to look for a job over the holidays while trying to keep up a facade for kids & family.

And it’s not like finding a job while everyone else is off is easy either.
Spreadsheet people are the world's most common developers. A spreadsheet is just a programming environment where every memory address has a visual representation on-screen.
Really, I came to say I really appreciated having just the data to play with.

Would have been nice to have a few more columns though. Country of origin, number of episodes and play time. etc.
The only thing I'd really like to see them add is just a column for how many hours each thing is, so you could tell how many "watches" this vaguely converts to. Of course you could look that up but, a lot of looking up to do there.

Show HN: QA GPT – Write UI tests in plain English powered by GPT-4-Vision
Hey HN, QA GPT enables engineers and QA teams to write UI and functionality tests in plain english.

As engineers, we sometimes get a little lazy when it comes to testing the functionality of our changes. It's hard to switch from coder hat to user hat. However, a single bug can significantly impact users experience and satisfaction.

Errors found in production aren't just a nuisance; they're costly. The later a bug is discovered, the more expensive it becomes to fix.

I built QA GPT as a proof of concept to make writing UI/functionality tests really easy.

It's super simple - just write your test case in plain english and run it. For example:
- "Test the new sharing functionality by signing in, selecting a user, and clicking share."
- "Log in and try adding a product to the cart"
- "Create a new card, view the number of the card, and verify the digits match the face of the card"

Let me know what you guys think
10gb & 25gb are the higher tiers. I have the 10, it's pretty great. :)
+1 r/localllama, 23GB should allow you to run 30b~ models, but honestly some of the new smaller models such as Mistral & friends (Zephyr etc..) are really interesting.

To your first point: Yes, I generally extend my argument to more or less everything in the modern world. Put your garbage out on the street: reporters can rifle through it looking for evidence.

To your second point: we already know DNA can't remain confidential (there is no practical mechanism by which even a wealthy person could avoid a sufficiently motivated adversary who wanted to expose their DNA). That's just a fact, we should adjust our understanding based on that fact.

Most important: sharing my genomic information with the world is not a breach of any privacy framework I'm aware of and subject to (US laws). Do you have a specific framework or country in mind?

Graphene recommends a modern pixel. If they can properly restrict memory access on those phones and the baseband doesn't have any direct access to the mic via analog signal or similar, then it probably can't listen in on either incoming or outgoing communication, that should all be encrypted before it hits the memory right? You could still be located and identified, but they don't need to compromise your baseband for that.

I'm sorry but I don't understand that.

Are you asking about how one can possibly be "curious" in the face of a catastrophe like this, and what that even means? I think that's a legit question. If curiosity means a detached-technical attitude, that is not an appropriate response to this topic and could in some forms even be monstrous. But that's not what I mean here. What I do mean, I tried to describe at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38616823 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38616662. It has to do with being open to others.
I'm not proposing that we should go full absolutist and also revoke the power for law enforcement to request court-approved warrants that clearly outline what they need to investigate and why.

The laws up for discussion in this thread are largely there to give the FBI a backdoor to surveil the general public without requesting a warrant with clear details on what they're looking for and where they can look.

Personally I have a much higher bar than most and think view the tradeoffs of privacy invasion rarely worth it, though I also don't expect our government to protect me in any meaningful way and would rather depend on my fellow citizens for that instead. There's a whole discussion there related to the surveillance and military state we live in today, but that probably veers way to far off topic.
Surely most people care at least enough about openness to want to be able to install apps on their phone. Your threat model is considering an authorized user installing an app to be a security breach.

Presumably the government already knows where you live for what percentage of the year through your tax returns?

A vacancy tax should also apply to landlords to encourage them to rent out units at actual market rate (rather than pretend market rate is something different for tax purposes).

> Hmm... if the allocator affects performance so much, then maybe the code simply uses the allocator too frequently?

I'm not familiar with musl's allocator so it's hard for me to say anything about it. However what is pretty common is that modern allocators use thread local allocators to avoid hammering global locks too much. Since Rust is very concurrent you don't need too many allocations to benefit from these optimizations.
That sounds like the sort of soft landing that I think everyone is hoping for. Stuff I've been reading has described landlords leaving buildings empty rather than lower prices and rent to smaller tenants, that sort of artificial propping up seems like it could precipitate a crash.

I’m actually building a role play training tool at the moment - https://Solidroad.com . The AI plays the part of a fake customer so sales and support reps can practice before talking to real customers. We’ve built a pretty low latency voice to voice conversation simulator. It helps people build confidence on the phone etc. and we’ve found that accuracy isn’t as important in this context (ie. It’s ok if the AI says something weird every once in a while) as long as the results are by and large believable.

Have a demo in our website where you can try and sell a smart phone to Michael Scott from the office.
Israel absolutely has the right to fight Hamas. But on the question of whether it's really defense vs avenge on entire population, I urge you to go through recent nytimes article titled "Gaza After Nine Weeks of War" with an open mind [1]. Entire neighborhoods has been bombed to rubbles, parks and roads have been bulldozed. Every single civilian structures, hotels, homes, playgrounds, port- on a large stretch beside sea has been utterly destroyed.

That's not a picture of a moral army fighting insurgents embedded in Civilian population, it's the picture of a fight against the entire civilian population- or "mowing the grass" in Israeli military's parlance.

I agree with you generally but I’m not sure the share buyback disproves the claim about labor affordability specifically. In fact I’m having a hard time imagining how it does.
Wow, thanks for sharing that link, I've been looking for something like this :)
Eons ago, when I was in TV/movies business, I spoke with a prominent Forgotten Realms book author (if not _the_ author) about a certain book series he wrote that I thought it would make a fantastic TV series (in a world before netflix had their own production) and he nodded in agreement. I said let's make it it happen, let's warm up parties on both ends (I'm on production side, he would be on property side).. basically cold shower was that, hiw he told me, they (writers) were hired to write pieces for Hasbro and Hasbro didn't want to let go of anything (as in control) nor would it do anything on their own.

So much potential, such a large world, and nothing. Blizzard spun up large business around basically 1% of what they're sitting on top off. Toys can be their sideshow. Alas..
"being an intergenerational refugee" is one of the most absurd problems that exist in this conflict. Nobody should be a refugee just because their grandparents were. They should be plain citizens of whatever region they were born in.

If we extrapolate this stance to other past conflicts, we'd have today tens of millions of German "intergenerational" refugees sitting in Germany and waiting for their return to their home a few miles away, across the Oder river.
This seems like a sensible step in the right direction IMO, (optional) features such as local, privacy respecting LLMs will help to augment peoples online research, bookmarking, contextual search etc....

It's important that we have Firefox working on such experiments otherwise as Google adds more of their privacy invading features to chrome / chromium it will likely impact negatively on peoples desire to find alternative browsers.

In our intensely competitive capitalist society, gaming has a low expected utility. It also doesn't usually reinforce skills that make you more employable. You also usually don't get a salary or remuneration.

I would disagree with that policy in this case. In most other articles, the reader has a much better ability to understand the quality of the article from reading it. This audience is primarily technical and not political. This topic has such a long history and so much nuance to it, that an article about this topic can uniquely spread a false narrative to a non political reader. That being said, not every reader has little political understanding which makes having a discussion even harder. Imagine a physicist, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and artist trying to have a discussion about "reflections in time." With that topic, while a discussion may be difficult, it at worst isnt harmful. In this case, a false narrative can and has been used to further hateful ideas, hate speech, and actual crime. With those negative possibilities here, I think we should be erring on the side of caution and not on the side of curiosity.

A smaller reason why I disagree with this is that the responses to this topic are uniquely capable of alienating large quantities of people which is counter to what we'd want for a community like this.

If the IDF didn't care about civilian casualities it could kill everyone inside Gaza in a matter of days, with or without nuclear weapons.

Consider the opposite: If Hamas had a nuclear weapon, would it pause before detonating it in Tel Aviv? Of course not.

Hasbro deserves their fate, they sold their IP to the highest bidder and they could have made a killing off of any one of their properties if they actually tried.

Imagine if they made good games, they could have locked down the most lucrative market for a company of its size and type.
Both I think. Weapons manufacturers are the obvious one. But more importantly IMO is that there are a couple of tech units in the army (look up 8200 for example) whose graduates start a lot of startups (frequently skipping university). Some of these startups are arms/cyber related, but not necessarily. It's one big feedback loop really.

This statement is very uninformed. Isreal left Gaza very logn time ago. They had an election and Hamas came to power, and they never hold an election after. There is no land dispute between Isreal and Gaza (Unlike Westbank where there are serious disputes). The main problem is that Hamas and its supporter Iran consistentnly in word and in practice declared that want to wipe out and destroy Isreal. It is not about some land disupte. They want the whole Isreal gone. Now, the question is would it be wise to let this group of people with clear intention to completely destroy Israel have open borders? They make missles even without open borders.

If you want to be really honest here. The issue is that Hamas need to agree that Israel has the right to exist. Period. As far as they don't, I see this war very well justified similar to the War with Japanese Empire or Nazi Germany.

Here are my curiosities about BASIC history.

* When did the MS style tokenized, interpreted BASIC start?

By this I mean, in MS BASIC, you have tokens that are evaluated. You enter text, the system tokenizes it, then when you run it, the interpreter does a combination of parsing and executing the tokens. It also reconstructs the program listing from the tokenized form. Curious what the origin of this style of BASIC was. Gate et al were clever, but I don't think they were that clever. I think this was borrowed from something else.

* Why was the original BASIC-PLUS from DEC done the way it was?

Unlike MS BASIC, B+ was compiled into an intermediate code (a stack machine as I understand it), and then executed. But this was done incrementally. As lines were entered, they were compiled, and put into place within the overall program. The original source was retained for editing, so you inevitably had two copies of the program: the source, and the compiled code, which isn't particularly efficient on the small machines of the day, but it ostensibly executed faster.

You could "compile" B+, but that was more saving the runtime image to disk, without source code.
I don't think it's necessary to play a game of "who has it worse" now. Just sympathise with the folks under discussion.
So some people had a meeting. Someone suggested this. It was written down in the minutes. The rest is speculation.

Netflix reportedly had special terms for years before that policy change for everyone else. I don’t think they were the only ones.

I think Apple just did that because it was becoming clear that what they were saying wasn’t true/they were getting political pressure about charging 30% no matter what.

I don’t remember the exact timing on the change so my guess as to the cause may be wrong.

Additional friendly reminder that Bush Jr is responsible for Hamas.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/10/was-hamas-electe...
Politically, Hamas has something in common with Nethanyahus government: the urge to stay in power. From that perspective, at least for now, both sides, Israels politicak leadership and Hamas leadership, have achieved their goal.

Another thing both have in common: they don't give a fuck about the price other people have to pay in order to achieve that goal.
Intel Core Duo CPU was released in 2006. By then it was obvious computationally intensive programs need multithreading, these Unix-style processes are no longer adequate.

They will have to take returns from retailers if things aren't selling. Retail orders are half the battle for a company like Hasbro - the products still need to sell.
Call it poor marketing, or a concept that just didn't resonate with cover-judgers, but a common perception of it by those who didn't watch it is that it is a cash-in kid's B-movie. Some pap you get for free on a streaming service. Disappointing that perception exists.

No lawyer, interpretation.

I'm not sure, it might stand up. Take Windows for example (in a time it was provided as CD). In most European countries, the Terms of Use are considered invalid (or "not to take into account") because they are _inside_ the packing. Law states that you need to be able the read the terms _before_ buying the product.

But for some reason (my knowledge ends there somewhere), it /23's valid in some countries to put the terms inside the packaging (e.g. US?).
