Boomkarking a physical book is super easy and a lot more intuitive and easy to use than an eBook version.

Some books come with one or two strings built in that can be used.
Mostly to track where you are in the book right now,
and the other one for something you find important.

Then there are thousands of different bookmarks you can buy
as many as you need.

You also have adhesive-colored tabs you can use to mark whatever you like.

You can also bend the top or bottom corner of a page,
Or use scissors and remove the corner entirely.

Bookmarking technology for real life books is mature and easy to use.

Some books make it easy to write down here you are externally.
Page Numbers, or like the Bible with several numeric markings
that makes finding a quote fast and easy.

Books can come with indexes that make finding things easier.
To browse through index entries can also provide interesting
insight.

It is super easy to annotate.
You can use a pencil and things can be erased if you desire.
You can use pens
You can use highlighters,
You can use stickers,
You can write the margins
You can attach post it notes
You can attach documents (pressed between the existing pages.

The way you do bookmark, highlight, and scribble can be of tremendous
value for the next reader.
(Or it can be flat out annoying).

It is also easy these days to take a photo of a page with your cellphone
and do whatever you want. then you can if you so wish print and glue
it in, or insert a page or whatever into the book.

A book can have very rich illustrations and graphics.

If you do need to reference rich media you can print a QR code in the
relevant part of the book so people can quickly pull up the video
or whatever there is a need for.

This is a naive take. How do you think Google collects or collected data for their safe-search classifiers? Now that's a sludge.

Or how do you think Google evaluates search-ranking changes (or gather data for training various ad-ranking & search-ranking models).
>When we can buy second hand electric cars _with reliable batteries that aren’t near end of life_ for 2k

CATL are talking about their LFP batteries having a life of 1,000,000km (600,000 miles). Given enough time there will be plenty of budget options. In the mean time you can keep buying cheap cars.
USB-C DACs are inexpensive and widely available.

Willful incompetence is indistinguishable from malice, and even accidental incompetence becomes malice if wielded by a figure with any modicum of power. Hanlon's razor is among the most backwards memes ever devised.
I take your point.

The US is wildly low-density outside of the major metros. It's one of the better things about this Nation.

Conversely, the very dense portions are built for cars and facilities are relatively close but still require a car to reach on the whole.

I live an a very dense major urban area, just outside of the city limits, and there isn't a single walkable store that isn't a convenience store with a gas station, a drug store, a rare butcher, a bar, a liquor store, a beer distributor, a tobacco store, a laundromat, and a pizza shop that serves bad food. And most of those aren't a short walk, though I need none of them aside from the butcher.

The grocery store and anything else absolutely requires a car. The trend isn't toward more such facilities, but less. Social (crime) and economic pressures are causing the food desert to expand. I know people who live 3/4 further away from me, across dense urbanity (which is a lot to travel, especially for older people), who need to travel to the suburban food store that I go to. There isn't space between it and them to build another grocery store. Less adaptable and more vulnerable stores have closed.

I agree that there is a limit to dense usability given any metric, but the dense areas are already designed. There isn't an option to redesign them as they represent vast expanses of residential homes. I don't see exurban areas filling in any time soon, especially given fuel / electric costs and economic pressures in addition to higher interest rates that will slow residential construction for the forseeable future. Also, they are truly vast.
Yes, deliberately indeed.

But I as suspect you may believe, I didn't work for the military.

I worked for NGOs, governments bodies, the UN and WHO, and of course the private sector.

At home I have a fridge, hot water, heating, nobody is shooting guns except in the shows I can stream in HD thanks to fiber while eating an organic avocado.

So it's easy to forget a huge part of the world is not comfortable. But those areas do have a lot of human activity, and some need computers.

In the article I hint about a text message base system to control a cluster of computers. That was in 2000 something, and Uganda was trying to control a big tuberculosis epidemic. The goal was to synchronize all medical outposts. In this country, this meant dozens of very remote places, in the jungle, in the mud, etc.

It could take up to 3 months to gather enough data about all the cultures of each new batch to prescribe the proper treatment. Often too late.

One day the NGO Find decided to attempt to create a system that would link all them using GPRS. So they sent me there. Text messages was the only thing that would be semi-reliable, and locals would plug their nokias on the batteries on their Jakartas (a popular chinese bike that was everywhere) to have them always available, so we used that, and cheap laptops to host the software.

Another time I got hired at the last minute to help with a training to promote Microsoft products in remote places in the hope that once they become a market, they would chose them. When I arrived, the African MS representative gave a speech, a few t-shirts, pocketed the money, and left immediately.

Without the MS expert to take a lead, I didn't have much of a plan. So I trained the entire audience how to use Linux.

Good times.

Want to entertain a bunch of stranded scientists on an island? Give them a Python training, it's part of the budget anyway. Want to prove some legal issues? Lock the expert with an airgap system and let him figure it out.

I get all sorts of offers. Some are questionable, of course.

Once the parliament of Mali asked me to craft some very shady accounting system. I refused.

But I can only tell you about it only because this particular governing body have little power over me today.

You don't seem to grasp the thrust of the article. Chesterton does not set up two sides. And I don't know what you mean by "necessary, unjustified fences." Those two words stand in juxtaposition. If a fence is necessary, it can be justified. If it's not necessary, it cannot be justified.
Oh maybe it can be disabled in Android? I have a smart watch that uses Bluetooth so I don't want to disable it completely. Phone is an old Samsung.
No, this model does not take any actions, it just produces a markdown output which is rendered by the browser. It can only read webpages explicitly provided by the user. In this case there are hidden instructions in that webpage, but these instructions can only affect the markdown output.

The problem is that by using a fully featured markdown with a lax CSP, this output can actually have side effects: in this case, when rendering in the users browser it makes a request to an attacker controlled image host with secrets in the parameters.

If the LLM output was shown as plaintext, or external links were not trusted, there would be no attack.
Soooo... scientists should not release their results? Scientists should make policy? Or what?
Reread what I said. I did not say "you are wrong" or "RCS is iMessage". I said "Apple might disagree with you" and "RCS is pretty much iMessage". Why don't you stop trying to make me seem wrong by putting words into my mouth.

Such a civilization wouldn't have much incentive to build 'keep off my lawn' signs, I don't think, given that the answer to such an advertisement should be a trillion relativistic snowflakes aimed at every system within a thousand lightyears. Anyone observing such a show of power would have no choice but to act first before that civilization did it to them.

Almost every example mentioned in that announcement blog post I linked above is that of Cody working with local files in VSCode.
> As long as the data on my device is synced to iCloud storage

But is it though? That’s the major catch. Something as important as Google Authenticator is not backed up, so you must enable sync to your account to ensure you don’t lose it (which wasn’t a thing at all until recently)
The reason they’re using HTTP is to allow for hiding the SSH server so that it pretends to be a dummy HTTP server that responds to 404 on all requests unless you know the special random URL that hosts the SSH capabilities. It’s a neat idea but overkill when you’re not using that capability (didn’t dig into the code so maybe it is bypassed if you don’t ask for a secret URL). It does make me hesitant as I don’t know how secure Go’s HTTP stack is since an exploit there could expose quite a bit and I don’t know that it’s been hardened to host directly, but it is an interesting idea. May be worth hand-rolling a custom server to do the routing but at the same time it makes it easier to fingerprint. I think it makes more sense to separate the routing secret to a standard reverse proxy that’s harder to fingerprint. One could imagine that the secret URL idea in a normal HTTP stack is susceptible to scanning techniques since there’s only one route to guess.
Well, yes I do. I have owned four franchised businesses - all quick serve restaurant style - from two different national chains. Individual franchisees have significant leeway in how they schedule. Some, particularly marginal locations, will cut staffing to the bone. Others that are more confident in sales and doing well are able to schedule more than the bare minimum so that customers don’t wait as long and employees are happier.
Answering that to the detail that I feel it requires to prove beyond doubt, would likely take about as much time as doing a meta-analysis on the topic. Here's some starting points:

https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/what-eviden...

> We know this warming is largely caused by human activities because the key role that carbon dioxide plays in maintaining Earth’s natural greenhouse effect has been understood since the mid-1800s. Unless it is offset by some equally large cooling influence, more atmospheric carbon dioxide will lead to warmer surface temperatures. Since 1800, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased from about 280 parts per million to 410 ppm in 2019. We know from both its rapid increase and its isotopic “fingerprint” that the source of this new carbon dioxide is fossil fuels, and not natural sources like forest fires, volcanoes, or outgassing from the ocean. [...] no other known climate influences have changed enough to account for the observed warming trend

If you're wondering how to establish causality in the first place, when we can't do experiments (we could hardly add and remove a significant amount of emissions at will to see what effect it has), this article provides two methods: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7081045/ The problem is not unique to climate science. Quoting the "background" section:

> In clinical medical research, causality is demonstrated by randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Often, however, an RCT cannot be conducted for ethical reasons, and sometimes for practical reasons as well. In such cases, knowledge can be derived from an observational study instead. In this article, we present two methods that have not been widely used in medical research to date.

Beyond global warming, much easier to study is the effect that air pollution has on humans. Stopping coal power plants and combustion engine vehicles in cities would also extend millions of people's healthy years of life every year. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution

> Outdoor air pollution attributable to fossil fuel use alone causes ~3.61 million deaths annually, making it one of the top contributors to human death

The solutions we have today (using wind, water, sun, and fission) that reduce warming and improve health are not perfect, but my understanding is that they are better
> I'm genuinely wondering how this is different from them using others work without consent, but IANAL so maybe I'm just confusing mortality and legality

When it comes to cutting edge business vs business decisions, the legality is often defined post-factum, e.g. in courts.

For an outsider to know whether something in a case like this is legal or not is near impossible, considering how opaque such businesses are.
This is true in reality but a bad model to build a business on especially if it’s an electronics company.

What Apple did is difficult to emulate and brands like Hermes and LV have stuck to craftsmanship and scarcity.

B&O used to be a featured on National Lampoon’s when a piece of debris flew into Margo’s bedroom and wrecked it. I don’t think people care much about their pretty audio pieces anymore.

Audio devices and screens have become accessories to the real device that holds the value: the smartphone. But one day, that will not be the case either as our cloud devices will eventually trump smartphones.

Apple isn’t going anywhere but intangible virtual goods will be more and more commonplace.

Google does its best, but there are limits to “directing people towards the copyrighted material at its original location in its original form” - not everything in the intellectual property world is ‘internet native’. The original form of a song lyric or a movie screenplay doesn’t have an ‘original location’ you can be directed to. You can be directed to various online sources that may or may not accurately reproduce the original, and may or may not be scrupulous about attribution, and may or may not have legitimate copyright license to distribute it in the first place.
This reads paranoid and hyperbolic.

I’m gonna need sources that you actually cannot repair an EV yourself. Parts sourcing may be difficult, and I’m sure there’s some certification you need as a mechanic to work on high voltage systems in some states, but the vast vast majority of work on EVs is boring normal stuff like brakes, fluids, etc. Nobody is getting thrown in jail for opening the hood on their own car, that’s ridiculous.

Also, nobody is bricking anyone’s car. If you’re that paranoid about remote access, it’s possible to just remove the cell access. It’s certainly possible on Tesla’s, it’s even an unlisted option when ordering.
> I think you're supposed to assume that it's the library that will do the cataloguing.

Bad premise.

How many municipal LIBRARIES have you been to that displayed sports memorabilia?

We're not talking about a museum, sports or otherwise.
That seems to be an uncharacteristically poorly thought out argument from Asimov, who I have immense respect for otherwise. He's engaging in a simple strawman! The issue is him (Asimov) being critiqued for thinking we have finally gotten everything, more or less, correct - finally. The critic alleges to Asimov that he's falling for what I call 'the arrogance of the present.' For great minds in past centuries also certainly thought they had finally, more or less, worked everything out, and were invariably proven wrong. So what makes now different, beyond the fact that 'now' is the time we live in?

Asimov's argument is that modern ideas are 'less wrong' than those of times past. He then goes on to talk about flat Earth and geocentric views of times past, going so far as to literally suggest his critic, refusing to accept any certainty, might believe the Earth could be determined to be a cube next year. That's just deeply disingenuous by Asimov, and I suspect the issue flustered him.

The critic was obviously not suggesting that next year we might decide the Earth is cubical, but referencing modern theories like the luminiferous aether [1]. Asimov would have certainly been aware of such, but as I suspect you might not - it's an extremely interesting tale. The aether was had a tremendous amount of science and support around it. And it was also completely and absolutely wrong. Not incomplete, not even less wrong, just plain wrong. It was only proven to be wrong in the famous (and quite elaborate, by the standard of the times) Michelson-Morley experiment. [2] Yet so strongly supported was the aether, that Michelson actually assumed he made an experimental mistake when he failed to detect the aether. He rejected his own discovery! He has a very famous quote:

---

"The more important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplanted in consequence of new discoveries is exceedingly remote... Our future discoveries must be looked for in the sixth place of decimals."

---

That quote was made in 1894, 7 years after proving the aether (and ultimately centuries of established science prior) wrong! He was still under the belief that he simply had yet to achieve the precision necessary to measure the aether! In fact so compelling was it, that it was really finally only put to rest by relativity, which showed the absurd nature of our reality - that the speed of light is a constant from all frames of reference. That only kicked off in 1905. And indeed there's every reason to expect that some, if not much, of what we think today may simply end up being seen as the aether of our times - well supported, logical, wrong.

It's a reasonable bet to imagine society entering another aristocratic type period where we have an ultra wealthy class and a servant class like we did until WWI or so. To some extent we're already there with gig workers, but there's still more of a middle than there could be. I mean there are people who are cool paying $30 to have Starbucks delivered by people who probably barely net that in a day after gas and wear on their car.
Presumably anyone can build a doomsday bunker if they have the money.

It's not on purpose. Farming is incentivized to increment yield without regarding micro-nutrients. A simple fix could be a label indicating if the product is below, at, or above average for its micro-nutrients.

But we can't even have simple labels warning for high sugar, saturated fats, and sodium. SMH

Afaik empty carbs moreso refers to starch or sugar containing foods that otherwise bring little to the table in terms of vitamins, minerals, etc. Especialy high glycemic index food items.
Nobody is sustaining their iron copper and magnesium through carrots. Not eating carrots won't kill anyone. None of your points matter unless you're a vegan that only eats carrots.
That's the question.

Philosophizing about what the business needs vs the employee is what is happening here in the HN comments.

Context matters and we don't have enough, IMO, to judge. Is this hiring manager for sales looking to fill a role in a company that needs to look innovative or it will die? If so then that context justifies the A B C criterion.

I wish I could opt out of this change. I've been asking Google to remember my location for more than a decade, and it's an amazing record of where we've been, when. I don't care that the government or Google can see it, it's still super useful. I'd pay to keep it in the cloud.
Fucking precisely.

I don't think I could do a phone that's this dumb (I really like using my Apple Watch, and I'm in pre-sales and salespeople LOVE calling and texting) but I went back to my iPhone 13 mini after using an iPhone 15 Pro for a few weeks. It's just too big, and I already hate using my phone.

I would love a "first principles" phone that has a very limited but very well designed feature set.

Of course it does. But this is nothing new. Rich young people have been doing it for centuries.

They make their short term gains that they congratulate their cleverness for, then suffer the consequences, and those that survive are the ones that re-learn the lessons of old.

But on the other hand, it's sometimes the only way to get the old method out of the way so that new efficiencies can be gained with the technologies available today. Of course most will fail, but some will survive.

> This led the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025 to recommend that you get 85% of your daily calories from vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy, and protein—in that order.

It's absolutely astonishing to me that after the absolutely catastrophic response to the pandemic by 3-letter agencies like the CDC, WHO, and FDA, people still believe their advice when it comes to nutrition. The output of those agencies is just a toxic mishmash of various special interests, it has no relationship to reality. These are the same people who, 20 years ago, promoted the "Food Pyramid" with massive servings of carbs as the base.
As a Canadian, I think Canada is a good third or fourth option to immigrate to. If your IQ Z score is 2 or 3 you can be much wealthier in the US. If you have a paid hourly style job, I think your life will be hard in Canada and the US alike.

Canada has had a "housing crisis" for the last 10 years. economyCostOfInfrastruture > economyCostOfSingleFamilyHome in Canada, so expect to live in a super dense shithole.

It might be easier to integrate but you’ve got a custom server and client in this case so it should be possible to do both without HTTP being involved for the server/client layer without an HTTP server? At least I think that’s right but it’s been a long long while since I wrote OAUTH code.

Seems like it’s primarily to implement the masking feature to pretend to be a normal HTTP server hosted on a port until the shared secret URL is knocked.
