Thanks Obama.

I don't know if it's funny or sad that some people blame Trudeau for everything, including the Palestine-Israel war.
Yeah, that's what they're supposed to do, and to the credit of the Hackintosh community, that’s what most tutorials suggest.

But like you said, there are always people who don’t care about others as long as they have theirs.

There is, so far anyway, no reason to go against this best practice because, even though Apple can instantly detect a bogus serial, their currently used scoring threshold still allows you to use iMessage provided you’ve got a non-fresh Apple ID in good standing.
That's optimistic. We don't even run the humble word processor locally anymore. Everything is cloud, cloud, cloud.

While I very much do not think this is all they do, I don't think this statement is correct. Some research indicates that it is not:

https://not-just-memorization.github.io/extracting-training-...

Anecdotally, there were also a few examples I tried earlier this year (on GPT3.5 and GPT4) of being able to directly prompt for training data. They were patched out pretty quick but did work for a while. For example, asking for "fast inverse square root" without specifying anything else would give you the famous Quake III code character for character, including comments.
I doubt that corporations have the right intentions when acquiring public services. In fact, I'm inclined to believe there is a conflict of interest, and their objective may be to prevent these services from flourishing, or to sabotage them in the long term. Immediate sabotage would cause public outrage, so it's likely more subtle. This concern is evident in the recent acquisitions of GitHub and Twitter.
This is one of the things that makes me full of wonder and awe! When we humans put our heads to something we can kick ass. Unfortunately, off late our heads have been into kicking each other instead of building something.

Vagrant: A tool for building and distributing virtual development environments (vagrantup.com)

I still remember reading that post on HN. And subsequently Vagrant took off. Cant believe it is nearly 14 years! Thank You Mitchell for everything as I am (still) using Vagrant. First Child is always going to be a hectic job beyond comprehension. Hopefully you will have more free time to play with Zig and may be even Crystal once your child grows a little more. Best of Luck.

Edit: I guess HN momentarily went down due to this announcement on front page.
Apple can detect this, but they’ve allowed it in most cases when it’s done with an Apple ID in good standing and some history.

Why they allowed it is anyone’s guess, but the leading theory is that they valued not hindering established customers over locking iMessage completely down and perhaps the bad PR that comes with banning someone’s Apple ID over this.
Ask HN: What is the best non CS/IT/coding course that you have taken?
either online or in school/university ?
It doesnt have to come from government. We can definitely hold ourselves to better standards, but I also think that there need to be stronger checks and balances too. I think they feed into each other, hold better standards and having a strong sense of justice.
Your understanding is correct, but the predicates are not easy at all. The amount of work going into CUDA is enormous, and NVIDIA is not standing still waiting for their competitors to catch up.
I don't see where you're getting this from?

It's so blatant that things are only improving, the US is running so many high profile missions, SpaceX alone has launched almost 100 times this year, Starship testing is proceeding well, we're reasonably on track for a long term human presence on the Moon, we're gradually preparing for Mars, China is managing to maintain its own space station, India is closing in on its own crewed spaceflight capability, South Korea achieved orbit last year and so on.

The only people saying that the countries with launch capability right now will not be the ones driving space travel are those who have (ironically) paid zero attention to the developments in progress.

I genuinely don't understand what you're looking for here. Obviously the process definition is poorly defined. If it weren't, we would be able to algin ourselves. We're talking about what the hoped outcome is. Nobody knows what it means to control an intelligence. That's what the research is about.
They indeed used to have data like that encoded in it.

Not too long ago, however, they moved to a completely randomized serial format, perhaps partly because of iMessages shenanigans.
1000 times yes. It is horrible to deal with. And the error reporting when it fails is often obtuse in my experience.

No, brownshirt is most definitely a Nazi thing, paramilitary thugs.

If you've been throwing that term around for a while, this might explain any odd reactions you've got.
Thank you. I definitely like how that’s vanilla, yeah. Look is ok.
Copying and pasting seriously inhibits learning and tends to directly cause mistakes.
Yeah sounds more like the aunt and uncle once shared an Apple ID and then moved to seperate ones later.
Those options are both 5 syllables.
I'll believe it when I see it. For now the Voyagers are the only thing out there that are expanding our envelope of influence, everything else is just data and will eventually evaporate.

Think about it from a non-solar system perspective. Nothing we've done since Voyager has had any effect outside of our solar system and if we don't change our attitude it is quite likely that nothing ever will. Everything else we've done will long term only be a little bit of radiation, some of it structured but so far below the noise floor it will be unrecoverable.
It's true that the licensing change is a turnoff, but Terraform redefined an industry. What's the alternative?

(I'm hoping Mitchell is going to have an answer to that)
You can, yes. The bigger problem is that I also bought into their Protect products at the same time. And you lose a ton of functionality if you turn off cloud access.

I'm going to try to replicate notifications and stuff using Home Assistant and shut off the remote access completely, but I might as well have purchased a cheaper and better NVR + camera setup if I need to set up all of this stuff myself anyway...

>It still doesn't change mistake in your original message.

Precisely. The problem I found on HN is that It is hard to have any meaningful discussion on anything Hardware. Especially when it is mixed with business or economics models.

I was greedy and was hoping Intel could fall closer to $20 in early 2023 before I load up more of their stock. Otherwise I would put more money where my mouth is.
> I see; I was not aware that there is a specific connection between Nazis and the "brownshirt" term,

I genuinely appreciate and commend your honesty about the fact that you didn't previously know that.

Separately, it's an unfortunate that even on this forum, the term Brownshirt has been watered down to the point that it's lost its Nazi association completely, much like other Nazi terminology that has been rehabilitated in recent years.
One of my favorite facts ever is that Voyager 1 contains something called the Voyager Golden Record [1]. It has the following quote written:

This is a present from a small, distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours.

I get chills everytime I think about this. I hope we can recover from this event and restablish communication.

That's a strangely high bar. As if Voyager had some nonnegligible effect outside of the Solar system.
The Air War over Ukraine
For those not aware, there's https://timoni.sh. It's similar to Helm but used CUE instead of the Go templating language. We've recently switched to it and are not looking back. Would be great to get some more contributors on board.
Strange you think that. Care to explain why you came to that conclusion?

The preprint linked to lays it out more technically if that's your jam:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.06536.pdf

See section 6 on exterior vs interior measurements, and you can see the discussion in the FAQ about how measurements on the radiation after the Page time creates particles in the interior (which cites section 6 for more details). Then 8.2-3 goes more into what information about the interior can be known from observables in the fundamental description before and after the Page time. The "Previous attempts at an encoded interior" section in the discussion could help further clarify things.

It's not saying that it's trivial to see inside a black hole from the Hawking radiation, but it would be incorrect to characterize their model as saying that nothing about the interior can be known in measuring the Hawking radiation.
There is only one definition of Brownshirt, despite contemporary attempts to ameliorate it. Here it is:

Ah interesting, a trip down memory lane! I made something very similar 5 years ago: https://github.com/atlassubbed/atlas-relax. It was an attempt to build a "stronger" version of React (using DAGs) in under 2.5kb, and completely decouple the diffing/rendering engine from the DOM. So think "nodes that can return JSX templates in their compute functions", but the JSX templates don't need to represent the DOM. They could represent anything, like Terraform config since JSX is just a syntax for javascript objects, similar to the hyperscript function `h`. To create React with my framework, I used a plugin (one such plugin https://github.com/atlassubbed/atlas-mini-dom) which registers listeners on nodes' create/update/destroy lifecycle methods. The simple idea is when a DAG node is added and corresponds to a DOM node, add the corresponding DOM element to the DOM. When removed, remove the element, etc. The cool thing was that the "build your own react" plugin is like 20 lines of code since the base diffing/rendering is abstracted away by the underlying DAG engine, so the interface ends up being similar to an AST crawler interface, where you're just implementing listeners as you encounter new/changed tags.

const { diff } = require("atlas-relax");
const DOMRenderer = require("atlas-mini-dom");
const App = () => (
<div>
Bonsly evolves into Sudowoodo after learning mimic.
</div>
)
// create a DOMRenderer plugin
const rootEl = document.getElementById("root");
const renderingPlugin = new DOMRenderer(rootEl);
// mount <App/> against the "null" DAG and render it to the DOM.
diff(<App/>, null, renderingPlugin);

The cool thing is you could diff two different DAGs against each other and listen to the delta, like `diff(<App1/>, <App2/>, consoleLogPlugin)`. The base library could be used to generate application frameworks as long as your application framework can be thought of as a DAG operating on data. React is an example of such a framework, but so is something like Airflow, so you could write a plugin that lets you build your own kind of Airflow. That was the motivation behind my DAG abstraction -- to make it easy to create DAG frameworks for frontend and backend. Let the base library do all the hard reconciliation work, and you can build application frameworks on top.

Anyway that was all mostly an exercise. I didn't end up using my framework for anything more than a state management solution for React. It handles global data perfectly, although these days React context or hook management is usually enough.
> so what? Did they get a grade on their participation? I'd bet not. So why would they care what the hypothesis was?

- If you were a subject in an experiment, wouldn't you be curious about the experiment design and the hypothesis being tested?

- If you had a good guess as to the tested hypothesis, could that influence your behavior?

No, the definition of Brownshirt is pretty unambiguous:

The ship has sailed 10 years ago. I signed up for Uni GPGPU (probably called something like 'Heterogeneous Parallel Programming') course back then, and only during first lecture learned that all hardware and material was provided by NVIDIA free of charge. Result was pure CUDA class with no alternatives ever mentioned, just like the good old days of Word and Excel College courses.

Nvidia is really good at building/buying moats:

Always enjoyed this bit below about Voyager 1 a good reminder of how vast the universe is not too mention just to the oort cloud!

"Even though Voyager 1 travels about a million miles per day, the spacecraft will take about 300 years to reach the inner boundary of the Oort Cloud and probably another 30,000 years to exit the far side."

I have to hope that in the distant future we will hopefully have spaceships that will pass voyager still traveling along in space, doing its thing as a relic to us early space traveling humans.
Because the Sun has its own gravity well you need to get out of. Lots of things could be fast enough to escape the pull of the Earth but not the Sun (like all the other things besides Earth that orbit it)
This isn't advice you hear often, but it's very good.
I used plain Chromium (Woolyss builds[1], with the external updater) for around two years [on Windows], even as a frequent browser-hopper. I'd just constantly come back to Chromium (after trying Brave, Firefox, Waterfox, even Edge). Everything else did things I didn't want, and wasted a greater amount of CPU time doing so (like Brave's crypto stuff).

Nowadays I use Firefox and, aside from a few annoying glitches, I'm very happy with it -- for me, the main point of a browser is that most of the time, I shouldn't have to be thinking about it. When I do have to (so, say, for Multiple Containers -- really good feature!), I expect it to provide a great experience.

Firefox generally does, and from my (unscientific testing) it is typically more resource-friendly than Chromium-based browsers (especially those with HTML-based UI addons, think sidebars, etc.)

I certainly don't agree with many of their decisions, but I'd say that they've ultimately succeeded in building a very solid competitor to Chromium. My main disappointment with it is that, as of 2023, it doesn't support PWAs[0]; I remain mindblown that this feature was cancelled.

For the curious, I'm currently utilising the following extensions:

uBlock Origin: The best ad-blocker out there

KeepassXC: Great password manager

Multiple Containers: very useful for isolating data stored by sites across different containers.

Web Scrobbler: for scrobbl... uhh, uploading YouTube [Music] activity to ListenBrainz

Enhancer for Youtube: provides additional functionality for YouTube (like disabling end cards, what a stupid feature)

Return YouTube Dislike: generally required for YouTube IMO

uBlacklist: allows for the blacklisting of URLs from search results; supports DuckDuckGo, Google, and many other search engines

Reddit Enhancement Suite

Old Reddit Redirect: redirects reddit.com to old.reddit.com, makes the experience much less annoying in general

P.S. As an anecdote, pinch to zoom doesn't work for me on Chromium (via X11). Surprising as it may sound, that's an absolute must for me: I use it all the time, so much so that it's very well engrained into muscle memory.

Show HN: Ohfork.app – SaaSified recipe eBooks for Instagram influencers
I made a promise to myself a year back that my next side project would be for-profit. For this project, I've written a hyper niche web app builder for Instagram influencers to sell digital cookbook subscriptions. Most food bloggers put together static eBook PDFs and sell them for a one time cost. ohfork.app is different in that the cookbooks can be added to over time, and charged via monthly subscriptions.

I've got 10 years of back end experience so the development was a learning experience. The frontend is SvelteKit, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Database, auth, cloud functions, storage, and hosting is Firebase. It's all pretty janky right now since I wanted to get the MVP done as quickly as possible. If I have any luck, this project will be worth investing more development time into.

The landing page has both a demo gif, and a link to "Demo cookbook" to check out. Let me know your thoughts and/or questions!

> Why does everyone care so much?

Happy to explain. First thought, why do you care so much?

> Nor do I want it.

Why? What about exclusivity makes the world better? Why shouldn't I be able to communicate well with someone using an Apple device? Why should someone using an Apple device not want someone to communicate well with them?

Sure there are other systems. But switching costs are so high. Especially with iMessage, folks are going to use what's provided them out of the box. It doesn't seem like a reasonable ask to get everyone en masse to agree to & switch to a lone cross-platform system. What's really needed is standards & interop. You should be able to use what you like, be that iMessage or RCS or Signal or XMPP. But none of these options should be locked out of working with others.

I'm so baffled by the strident defenses against possibility. From someone whose name is @unstatusthequo at that, going to bat for status quo lock in seems like a low and dark comedy. Un status quoer, un status quo thineself. Don't triple down on the fixed & limited!
Reliving My Memories in Apple Vision Pro Almost Brought Me to Tears
that sounds ripe to get spammed, since the superset of things to be filtered is borderline infinite when it is opt-in
My definition of a win for Apple would be to have the problem go away and the attention dissipate. That's how it went for Nothing's attempt for instance, where it was instantly ridiculed and everyone forgot about it.

Right now, they blocked a part of Beeper mini, and nobody expecting a rock solid service would join Beeper Mini so Apple's won't be losing any of their core customers.

But the news cycle keeps going on, Beeper Mini is still there for those the group of users that wants it alive, and I wouldn't be surprised if next week for instance actual iMessage users came out to complain about getting kicked out of the service as colateral damage from the whole additional filtering.

And of course this whole publicity for Beeper is a door opened to any other company to give it a shot, as Apple is playing the cat and mouse game, and not taking any more drastic option.

Apple isn't losing either, but they're now dragged into guerrila like battle with no upside for them.

In much the same way that you need a specialized email client to use IMAP/SMTP, you need a specialized client that speaks NNTP to access usenet.

The providers are heterogeneous but usually are basically beefy servers connected to fat pipes to handle the massive volume of traffic, which is why you typically need to pay for access.

To the contrary, they did the right thing by admitting their ignorance in not knowing that Brownshirt refers to a group of Nazis. So the record shows that they were willing to learn. That's something.
