I just can’t understand the people I see in downtown Portland getting blasted out of their gourds on a public sidewalk.

My sense of self preservation is just too high to alter my state of consciousness in an unsafe environment
At a guess wealth is _probably_ quite a lot worse - average American wealth is very high (~ $551k), but the median American wealth is quite bad (~ 107k, on par with Spain or Italy. Whereas median British wealth is $151k and in Canada it's $131k.

But once you remove sterotypes, what makes you think it's easier to climb to the top in America?
I'm yet to tackle actually testing any of my software on a real Windows machine; I usually just smoke-test things through Wine. (That's already more effort than what Linux devs do towards BSD so I award myself a point for that.)
One of the biggest economic theories that has been demonstrably proven wrong is that consumers act perfectly logically and with full information. The opposite is true. I really wish it weren't because economics becomes much simpler and more intuitive when you assume perfect information and logicality, but if wishes were fishes and all that.
That billboard and "harm reductionists" is destigmatizing, not decriminalizing. I also think the possession of some subset of drugs should remain a criminal offense. Decriminalizing heroin and fentanyl doesn't sound like a good idea at all.
Again, I think you’re not thinking this through, and all your hubris of having experience in the space is a call to authority rather than any actual logical correctness.

1. Nobody would want to hold the phone at an angle to shoot all the time.

2. It’s already reducing resolution to 1080p because it’s cropping in on the Ultrawide when its axis aligned. How much lower would you go to do an angled shot? The resolution does matter because these will be playing back on one of the highest ppd headsets on the market.

Apple may want to sell more hardware, but that’s not particularly interesting insight. But at the same time, your theories of how it could be done on the 14 Pro would make for a rather poor user experience all around.
The Year Twitter Died
Not per capita, per user of the mentioned substance. And the answer is no, not even close. Ridiculous argument.
Also weapon systems.
I would guess that it gives them enough advance notice to predict turbulence, based on the delta between forces on the plane and forces on the poles. If there's a sharp gradient in forces, that gradient seems likely to increase, in a partially predictable direction.
Those words are bandied around quite a bit, true. That said I would not say they have lost as much meaning as the ones thrown around by "progressives", i.e. the ones those you call conservatives [1] get thrown at them at every occasion. You know the ones I'm referring to, words like racist and homophobe and transphobe and nazi and fascist and all the other -is[t|m]s and -phobes and such.

[1] ...who in real life come from nearly all ideological standpoints, from "traditional" Marxists through classical liberals through centrists via conservatives to whatever lies opposite Marxists nowadays.
If you're willing to split your workload into VMs in the first place I think application-level segmentation like Qubes starts to become a more interesting idea that microkernels.
The real savings come when this tech can be built into the airframe. The airframe can only bend and flex a certain number of times before it cracks and fails.

Todays airframes have a lifespan measured in flight hours, and an estimation is done as to how much turbulence will be hit per hour of flight. At the lifespan limit, the plane is typically scrap.

If this tech can reduce the flexing of the airframe during flight by 80%, you can probably get 5x the flight hours from the airframe before it becomes too weak to be safe (or more - half the flexing typically more than doubles the lifespan)

Alternatively, you can make the airframe thinner and lighter for the same number of operating hours (and that's what is likely to happen, since aircraft manufacturers don't want to put themselves out of business). Thinner and lighter airframe saves fuel and makes the aircraft cheaper.

So I should just give up, have a talk about media habits with my parents and if they don't want to change, just hand YouTube the money? You freely admit that it is designed to be this bad and by giving them money actually just rewards their shitty behavior. I gave an example of a video showing how creators on YouTube can select which ads to show. Get-Rich-Quick is a category, YouTube could just take the decision to not carry those ads anymore and enforce violations as harshly as copyright strikes.
I thought this was a good article, and together with the article about Portland last week, highlights a change a lot of those "on the left" (myself included) are coming to: there are significant negative side effects to decriminalization that are worse than many expected.

Personally, as someone who was strongly in favor of decriminalization, my mind changed a bit a couple years ago when I went through the pedestrian mall in downtown Denver. I have nothing against weed use, but walking down there was like "zombieland": tons of people walking around completely stoned out of their minds.

This doesn't mean I'm for "recriminalization", but public use was never legalized (at least in CO), but those rules are now all but completely ignored.
To play devil's advocate, if good internal controls are preventing abuse, why start with the foregone conclusion that there must exist "real harms" to find?
Yes. The kernel multiplies your efforts for you. It works great for web services.
Linux did use the TSS in its early days on the i386. I think they changed it because performance wasn't very good.
>Snaps will not work on anything but Ubuntu.

I installed VSCode as a snap on my Fedora install and it worked fine as far as I could tell. This was in Mar 2021, and I chose the snap because code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux said that "Due to the manual signing
process and the system we use to publish, the yum repo may lag behind and not
get the latest version of VS Code immediately. . . . Updates are automatic and
run in the background for the Snap package."

(I don't have an opinion on Snap as compared to Flatpak or AppImage or none of the 3.)
Fighting turbulence must have an impact on fuel efficiency and range. Additionally, pressure probes add weight and drag to the aircraft. Overall, I think these kind of solutions look brittle and error-prone.
Why would a monopoly being illegal force you as a newcomer to brand your product as Nest? Makes Ero sense
Carbon fibre is cheap-ish tp buy. Carbon fibre parts are the opposite of cheap so, especially load bearing and safety critical parts with complex geometries, those are quite expensive.

The i3 was an interesting car so, and BMW for some reason fumbled the head start the car got them.
But they do exist for a reason. We evolved many extremely useful taboos, and this is one of them.

The value of culture is 1) the material prosperity it creates, 2) the emotional fulfilment it generates, and 3) how well it self-propagates.

Hard drugs destroy the first two, and by killing the user and innocent bystanders early, it interferes with the third. Much of America’s falling life expectancy can be blamed on drugs.
Stigmatization has been proven to work with tobacco. I don't see any reason why branding those that use meth, heroin or ethanol as absolute losers and stupid uncool people wouldn't work either.
In a lot of ways "decriminalizing" drug use is worse than fully legalizing it or arguably worse than keeping drug use illegal, because the people _selling_ it are still technically criminals, and decriminalizing basically just increases demand and sends more money flowing into criminal organizations. They'd be better off just fully legalizing it and regulating it.
> The company says it'll have a system commercially available for light aircraft in 2024. It's looking into a version for eVTOL air taxis by 2026, and hoping to have a system relevant to commercial airliners by 2030.

They are not targeting airliners for the current generation.

It’s really not that decentralised anymore. I don’t have anything fancy, I just use a custom domain. About every fifth site can’t send email to it.

I’ve heard that if you have your own server, it’s even worse, to the point that you need to pay for some proxy which helps you avoid such problems, and also avoid that almost everything recognise your emails as spam.

No wait, you’re serious?

Did you not watch the senate testimony? They have illegally spied on millions upon millions of Americans. For things as petty as “I think this girl likes me” or “I’ll show my father in law!”. No punishments much less termination or what you or I would face: jail.

So yeah, that link is a joke. There are no protections against corrupt law enforcement.
Yeah, they don't have much. So if you take what little they have, if they go bother people in the public, they will avoid those places. You just have to enforce it consequently. Most junkies don't want stress and just get high (and they hate having to let go of their next high). Only if you tolerate them in public spaces with 0 consequences - then they will stay with their drugs.

"You act as if the police are complete morons and totally incompetent and haven't thought of any or tried any alternatives - anywhere in the world"

That's the thing. Addicts on the streets in europe for example, are a rare thing. And I know many other places on the world, with no junkies on the streets either. And also with a way lower prisoner to population ratio. So maybe there are other ways, besides just jailing everyone. (Which is pretty expensive btw.)
I went in to this article hoping for some evidence on why harm reduction isn't always the right choice. Instead it is tone-deaf (as if fentanyl users and heroin users are in the same category as those who choose to use alcohol or pot!) and filled with correlation-implies-causation assertions.

If anyone has some credible evidence for where harm reduction doesn't work, please reply!
And yet it seems that there aren't many places where decriminalization, destigmatization and lack of efforts to limit supply have brought paradise on earth. Weed and tobacco takes years to fuck you properly, people seem to be able to drop and get clean from coke, alcohol, laughing gas and heroin. But fentanyl seems to be way more of a one way street.
It’s already cutting the resolution to 1080p to crop into the Ultrawide. How much lower would you go?

Bear in mind this has to play back on one of the highest ppd displays on the market when the Vision Pro releases.
Check out this guy, he solved the whole war on drugs in an HN comment! "Don't arrest them, just ban it."

Total idiocy.
This is correct, and it's something people who use WASM for security need to be aware of. My program can use WASM to execute untrusted user-supplied code (such as web pages) safely, but compiling my application to WASM and running it in a sandboxed VM doesn't protect me from security bugs in my own code.

Is this an example of WASM not learning from other bytecodes though? 1) Has other bytecodes fixed it? It's not like compiling your C application to CLR protects you from internal memory corruption bugs either, right? And 2) Was protecting against internal memory corruption even a goal? To me it always seemed like the purpose of WASM is to be a cross platform way to run untrusted code sandboxed, just like JS but faster and more appropriate as a compilation target; and whether you compile to WASM or JS, your C program might have memory corruption bugs.

If you're only complaining about the VC-funded hype machine, I could probably be convinced that WASM is sold as something it isn't. I haven't seen it myself really but it's exactly what those sorts of people are wont to do. But that's surely a critique of the hype machine, not of WASM failing to learn from other bytecode designs, no?
I know this is a joke, but I remember when I was learning LISP I was SOO WORRIED about that and couldn't possibly fathom how I was going to actually be productive with it.

I don't remember now, but it wasn't AT ALL the big issue that I initially anticipated. I just mention it, because your comment made me realize that I also don't understand WHY it wasn't an issue!
Low-to-Mid tier shovelware company hypes up a game. They made and sold mostly crap games and now this is their time to stop producing slop and make something that stands out.

They hype it up... but then it got released a few days ago, and it is crap.

Scam? Genuine attempt that failed, but they had to publish? Who knows, but unlike some games that got hyped -- and later turned out good / got improvements -- this company just folded, meaning that it'll never get better.

For example No Man's Sky was hyped but when released was terrible -- but got better -- and Cyberpunk 2077 had a lot of problems but recently saw several patches and DLC (and is pretty awesome). Lotta hype, lotta disappointment, but the developers stayed at it and made it good.
Last E3 was just horrible so in my opinion I'm glad it's gone, rather than overstay its welcome.

Five things you need to know about the EU's new AI Act
Gotta agree with you. I originally chose Android because it was relatively open but Google wiped out our freedom with hardware remote attestation. Now my bank app refuses to work if I modify my device in any way.

If I must be in a walled garden, I'm choosing the better kept one. Android is quite simply inferior, I tolerated it because it gave me relative freedom but there's no reason to tolerate it any longer.
The fact that reputable scientific journals can just disappear from the historical record is one more reason why public non-profit archives like arXiv are gradually, deservedly, becoming the dominant platforms for sharing and preserving new research.
One of those powers is to rely on interpretations of the Constitution by SCOTUS and to pick SCOTUS’s interpretation when it comes to conflict with an HN commentators’ interpretation.

So this is still just putting the cart before the horse.
I feel that it would be very hard to add value to the video with something like this. For photos I think it makes more sense because they are static and the movement adds extra depth. However for video I think it would just seem shaky. I'm not even sure I love the picture version, although it is a nice option to have.
Sad. Never got to go.
> Genre miscategorization is harder, I am playing with AI to help me clean that up, but also thinking about using crowdsourcing some of that.

AI could indeed help with that.

But if you're publishing a books-of-the-year list, you could also check the categorisation manually - especially if you adjust the inclusion criteria to give you a tractable number of books.

For some datasets, 4 hours of manual classification will do a better job than 40 hours of trying-to-get-the-AI-to-work :)
It is generally speaking difficult to make an efficient implementation of the compiler and/or the virtual machine for many memory safe languages without writing it in a more efficient, statically compiled language like C, C++, or Rust. And that is to say nothing of software like operating system kernels and browser engines. So perhaps Rust will gradually take over the world there.
Yeah Apollo was obviously incredibly impressive but was sort of a technological dead-end. There was no path from that program to a permanent human presence on the moon.

also a great format for 1:1s, meetings, updates, annual events, etc etc (doesn't have to be 8 days, 1h is already very good. I haven't done 8 days, but after 2-3 days I felt like I was ready to have a bed and an office again).

The control surfaces? The pilot (or autopilot) is fairly constantly making small corrections, so no, they’re not ‘fixed’, but it’s true this is a much higher frequency movement than normal control.
We'd probably be using Ada. The government used to mandate that contractors write software in Ada, but they stopped because of the pushback they got; now they also use C++.

Likening it to a government given every company has a domain over its own products and services, makes a lot more sense than likening it to a mafia which doesn't come to contribute, but only to take.

Apple allows you to ship infinite amount of apps at no cost, if you don't in return ask the store for money.

What kind of a mafia works like that?

> It's perfectly simple to trash memory in Rust.

What makes you think so? Most Rust programmers and programmers from other languages, agree that this is not possible. I might be missing something, but can you give an example of such simple methods to trash memory in Rust, asking from a curiosity standpoint?
Re. ad blockers on youtube...

I will vote with my wallet and never give Google a cent, I feel gross enough already even just using any service owned by them.
They are typical giant corporation who corrupt everything they touch.
I reckon for every hour of valuable software work that makes its way to the public, 50 hours of bullshit managerial "work" is done by a sucession of gobshites with increasingly inflated salaries.

What actual value do they add? All the features and innovations they have made since acquiring youtube have been uniformly terrible, the best example is their pathetic attempt to ape tiktok with youtube shorts, so now they have two totally different systems awkwardly smooshed together on the same platform. They also, in classic Google fashion just randomly change the UI or randomly remove extremely useful publishing features for no reason on a weekly basis. They've pushed more and more ads. They've moderated and used the suggested videos features to encourage content farm garbage and punish actually good original content.

The real value of youtube is the amazing content creators who make world beating content for free. The actually good ones are mostly demonetized by youtube and either make zero money or only make money from Patreon supporters.
So the actual value of youtube is the content creators, and also the audience who go there to watch. Youtube has been around for a long time and is basically the place to upload longer videos. Google gained control of this value by buying youtube and since then they have sat on this communally created value and simply engaged in rent seeking behaviour.
If you are going to use opioids it is unquestionably safer to do it with other people while at least some of them are sober-ish. You can't narcan yourself in a solo overdose situation.
It's plausible that in many settings this is actually most efficient from the point of view of the company.

Do training on the things that can cause trouble longer term (inconsistent tooling taking over, security issues, company-specific things you cannot find online) and just hope people pick up the rest as they go. Good workers will usually manage. The people deciding how to train new workers maybe don't even know what kinds of "main" knowledge a given worker would need. Rather than assigning an expensive senior worker to training them, they might hope someone good willing will do it in their spare time.

The billboard with an image that they complain about, which features a group of young people and perhaps could be considered glamorous if presented without context, is next to giant words spelling out the fact that if you do the drug alone you will probably die.

And that this risk is so great that they give out free training so that people who do the drug can be potentially saved from death.

That all seems fairly fact based and scary to me, as someone who has no experience with fentanyl, and whose desire to try it is in no way enhanced by this giant warning of death.
> Addicts on the streets in europe for example, are a rare thing.

This is because most of Europe has better social safety nets and didn't have an opioid crisis (also partly because of its safety nets), not because they "banned" anything. Drugs and active drug users are in the end still pretty easy to find in central areas in major cities if you look; and if the police do get involved you definitely go to jail.
You realize that free apps still have to pass all the Apple rules in order to get in the store right? If they disagree with anything about your app, then you're blocked. I think that's a good thing for consumers (or at least it would be if they allowed sideloading for people who don't want to be controlled) but that doesn't change the reality that as a developer, Apple is the mafia.

I've noticed a huge uptick in the most obvious scams, when using my work PC (no ad-block!).

Typical deepfakes of celebrities, where they've stolen some clip, and get the person to promote some crypto scam. It's laughable. Imagine being 80, and seeing Warren Buffet or Bill Gates on youtube promoting some random crypto brokerage, saying that you can create generational wealth TODAY!

Since it's on youtube, it must be legit, right?

EDIT: I believe one way to solve this, is by heavy handed regulation where you make the websites (YouTube, etc.) financially liable for scams they are facilitating through ads etc.

Right now there seems to be zero incentives to removing this kind of stuff.
