> When I'm crossing a pedestrian foot-bridge, I have much less knowledge about whether this particular bridge is safe or not than the people who built it and the regulators who regulated it.

Which is why we communicate. If the bridge has loose stones, you put up a sign that says the bridge is hazardous and has loose stones and provide a map with an alternate route. Now the person who comes up to the bridge knows that a professional evaluation designated the bridge as hazardous and why.

Most of the time that means you'll want to go around. But if the bridge is only two feet off the ground and you can see your lost dog on the other side, you might reasonably be willing to exercise careful footing and risk twisting your ankle to get to your dog.

Whereas if it's a hundred feet off the ground, you can try to get your dog later. But you might still cross if was something more serious, like you're in the woods alone and injured, you have to get across to call for help before you bleed to death and the alternate route is several hours longer.

It's a lot easier to get general information to the person in the situation than the other way around.

> But if you want to get rid of the spectrum and have everything decided by people who should have "the most knowledge of their own circumstances", then it sounds like you're in favour of people dying and then blaming them for it.

If a person in a situation makes a judgement call and they're wrong, they could die. If a legislator makes a judgement call for everyone all at once, people will die because different people will be on different sides of the trade off, possibly more of them than would otherwise if they'd each been able to make their own decision in context, and certainly some of them who would have lived if they'd been able to choose for themselves and choose differently.

It sounds like you want to trade the lives of people who choose well for the lives of people who choose wrong without even knowing which number is bigger. Or considering that the number of people who choose well could be increased in various ways other than coercion.

I am not the OP, but I believe he's referring to the ability to be logged in to different AWS accounts simultaneously. Without containers, logging in to AWS account B would invalidate the tabs where you're already logged in to account A.
I run my own mail servers and hotmail and other Microsoft-based email services regularly blocks my mail by source IP on the various domains I run.

I've been using the same /29 network for over 15 years now. There's no nearby adjacent networks that are on any blacklists.

I monitor blacklists on a regular basis.

No marketing. The domains I run are strictly personal and projects. I monitor volume and all kinds of stuff. I know there's nothing like spam or any kind of marketing going outbound.

It's astonishing how honest Microsoft is when I send them an email telling them to unblock. They literally just admit that they never had reason to block the domain/IP and they unlist it for a few years and then it goes back on their list.

It's become apparent that they blacklist by default.

Fortunately I only run into the occasional idiot who uses Hotmail or live.com.
If you're worried about the battery then get a Nio. Nios can both charge and swap the battery. The battery can be swapped in six minutes:

You can buy the battery outright (in which case you don't use the swap stations) or you can use a battery subscription to swap to a new battery as needed.

Nio has three battery sizes: 75 kWh, 100 kWh, and soon a 150 kWh option. All in the same physical dimensions:

Sorry, I do not quite follow. FDA regulates the marketing of drugs, biologics, medical devices, etc. They do not regulate the practice of medicine. Your doctor can prescribe whatever they want “off label”.

So for example, manufacturers cannot market erbitux as a cure for migraine headaches because no sponsor has submitted an application to FDA with compelling evidence that it is safe and effective for that particular indication. However, your doctor can still prescribe it for migraines if they so choose. Whether your insurance will pay for it is a different story.

It's hard to say George Carlin was subversive when he was flat out aggressive with pretty much no attempt to sneak through any sort of idea that he could, instead, thwack you with. Late in his life, he went full rantsona, for instance his American Dream content. "There's a special club, and you ain't in it!"

He wasn't joking, and wasn't wrong. I don't think it counts as subversive anymore when you're just going that hard. Nobody's gonna be fooled, they'll sign up or they'll peace out.

To my mind, being properly subversive means getting over with the people… you can't really flip the table unless your feet are under it. Yeah, Richard Pryor was utterly subversive. He could seduce anybody with the openness of his comedy, but it meant something and the real target might not have been what it looked like it was.

Precisely, although I’ll come clean and didn’t know about that exact triangulation exploit mentioned, just the fact that nicely organised historical data of all actions is there somewhere to be found.

Copying text from the saved footage is wild!

I had a poor man's version of this with TimeSnapper Classic, a free Windows utility that takes a screenshot every n seconds then lets you view a timelapse at the end of the day to show how you spent your time.

After a few weeks my disk was starting to fill up with screenshots. I browsed the folders and noticed that most of the screenshots looked almost identical. "I should come up with some kind of image codec optimized for image sequences, that diffs against the previous image to save space." Then realized I had basically reinvented GIF / video codec haha. So I wrote a script to shove the timestamp (filename) into the image itself (with ImageMagick), and convert them to video with ffmpeg. 99.9% size reduction!

This looks a lot more useful though.

> Fingers crossed the US is about to enter a period of peace-by-lacking-affluence rather than something ugly happening.

Who's lacking affluence? The 2023 US economy is the best US economy of my or most people's lives.

And since the economy isn't a morality play, good performance doesn't automatically mean it's about to fail.

I would rather use Argentina as an example. They've done as bad a job as you can possibly do managing their economy, defaulted several times, and even that result is not that bad. Everyone still lends to them even. When you're a country, you don't have to be on your best behavior, because there's no other planet for the lenders to move to.

VB6 was fantastic. The language was terrible, but the IDE was the best way to make GUIs that ever existed. The Windows 98 era was excellent for UX as well, with every element on the screen having an accelerator key, consistent menu guidelines, consistent visuals, keyboard shortcuts, etc.

MacDonald as 'not subversive' is a crackup.

A famous schtick of his on his podcast later on was to get other comedians to accidentally joke about the 9/11 events, and then he'd frame them as monsters for making light of the situation. He got fired from SNL for railing on OJ Simpson and his executive buddies at NBC, he got 'removed' from Silverman's JASH 'collective' for making jokes about 'Arabs', and he subverted the Friar's Club roast by refusing to be rude and only saying 1940s formal-appropriate Vaudeville-act stuff.

The SNL stuff was big news in entertainment at the time. He got interviewed by all the big late-night shows about it and the unfair process, was on Stern, etc etc. The whole nation sort of rallied behind him and agreed that SNL/Lorne Michaels acted unfairly at a time when the entire nation was also seemingly against Simpson.

His outward clean-cut demeanor and presence is exactly what made him so subversive.
Windows Forms is pretty much the successor to VB6 and I think is still supported. Still nothing like it on Linux though, even though people say Linux is way better than Windows for software development :/
You can create a new package via a "pending publisher"[1], which does not require a user-scoped token.

(Note: even though PyPI calls them "user-scoped tokens," they have less access than a password does, since they can't manage the user's account itself. So, while not ideal, they are still a better choice than a user/pass combination.)

My and the patent examiner's reading of the patent is far less charitable to Apple than yours, and I'm still at a loss as to how one can poorly summarize the patent to exclude the relevant and obvious details showing apparent infringement, but here we are.

Is there any evidence you feel would convince people that the patent examiner was wrong in awarding the patent which, at the moment, is valid?

Any evidence you feel convincingly disputes the record we have of Apple's interactions with Masimo? Empty denials would be pretty unconvincing, and I'm not sure we even have that.
I think it's more a communication problem than a question of rules or behavior (which is why I also disagree with the article's take)

People react strongly to "I'm Sorry Dave, I'm Afraid I Can't Do That" types of messages, and the exit command one is pretty close to that. If instead they went for a more question like "unrecognized command. Did you mean 'exit()' ?" type of prompt users would react in a milder way.

In particular, choosing an imperative tone in help messages is probably not optimal.

I do a little bit of consulting [1] , which bridges the gap. That way, I'm not losing money building the company. Though, all of my products make revenue, and things are doing well in relative growth (+60% MoM last month) even if the absolute numbers aren't big. I did some consulting to bootstrap Moonlight [2] to profitability, and it worked. I find the consulting is motivating, because I get to work directly with founders on high-growth businesses. It maintains a sense of urgency, and makes sure I am building a business instead of an art project.

I strongly believe that fractional work is the future, which is why one of the Contraption Co. projects is a community for fractional workers called FRCTNL [3]. Affiliate links on it have surprised me as a non-trivial revenue source.

Because at one point in time the US played the dominant role here, with output comparable to entire continents. Now with globalization that dominance has shifted to Asia.

So in essence if there is a place that will convert to majority nuclear power it's most likely going to be Asia that still has the capability to do this. I don't think it's likely for the US.

Dramatically smaller size on disk. Video codecs leverage representing things using diffs. Think about a 2 minute video of someone reading an article online. Then think of 60 screenshots of someone reading that article over 2 minutes. The 60 screenshots are likely ~15-30MB. The video is probably like 3MB or less and that’s without doing much of anything. Any time the user is idle, that’s kind of free in a video. An image, it wouldn’t be.
I really respect and appreciate your willingness to interrogate your own assumptions in public — it’s a beautiful way to be, and I hope I present similarly.

My response would be that much hinges on the word “usually”, as in, the artist must “usually” have seen existing Dali work to recreate a similar aesthetic.

While that’s certainly true, it’s also true that similar art evolves in different places at similar times. Which is to say, while “usually” is accurate, “always” is not.

AI requires “always”. In the same way a photocopier, or a collage of existing works, requires the prior art to exist inside it in order to produce similar output.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask for compensation, if a tool is unable to produce the desired result without including your existing oeuvre of completed, copyrighted work.
Verstappen has more than $6m in street legal high-end cars. He has spent a significant amount of time driving cars with performance quite similar to that Mercedes.

Even if this wasn't publicly available information, isn't it quite bizarre to act as if you have some better understanding of the difference between F1 cars and sports cars than one of the best F1 drivers in the world? I would bet you quite significant sums of money that he has spent more time driving cars with performance similar to that Mercedes than you have spent driving an F1 car.

We also know that Verstappen races street-legal private cars on tracks during at least some F1 offseasons, something his Red Bull Racing team advisor has shared in interviews with the media.

The idea that some internet posters have a better understanding of the risk profile of taking this car onto a track than one of the best racecar drives in the world is some special HN hubris.
Can you name any specific instance where people were harmed by toxins in clothing? The skin tends to be a pretty good barrier. Creams and cosmetics are often designed to penetrate it, but clothing fits within my risk profile. I come in contact, skin-ways, with all sorts of nastier things day-to-day, even when working on my house.

My concerns around clothing have more to do with durability, comfort, and quality. For example, bad pyjamas can be not very breathable or collect sweat.

That's pretty easy to tell, though.

So that's shady clothing fits in my risk profile.

As a footnote: I'm not implying it should fit into your risk profile; I'd avoid based on hypothetical risks like lead contamination, PFAS, and other hypotheticals if I earned perhaps 50% more than I do today. I'm asking since if there are specific instances (not of contamination but of harm), I might change my risk profile.

> There is constant breaking changes with it (both runtime and tooling).

I'm not sure what you mean. Python 2 to 3 was a breaking change, but that was just one change, not "constant breaking changes".

If you stick with one major version no old code breaks with a new minor version (e.g., you can run old 2.x code under 2.7 just fine, and you can run old 3.x code under 3.12 just fine). The minor version changes can add new features that your old code won't make use of (for example, old 3.x code won't use the "async" keyword or type annotations), but that doesn't make the old code break.
> The fact that the Python REPL provides a helpful hint seems like extra effort to make your life easier.

I agree; Python is actually helping you out here, since just typing `exit` doesn't actually call the callable.

Also, Python being Python, while not recommended, there's nothing stopping the user from assigning to `exit` then printing it in the repl:

>>> exit = 42
>>> exit
42

What would the author expect Python to do in this instance?
I agree. I also posted the same information below.

I guess I was more responding to the general sentiment in the thread about AI and human rights.

An interesting reflection. After Nixon's shame, the popular discourse seemed able to reflect constructively on his failings and on the Viet Nam war. The country recovered its reputation as a leading democracy.

What the country's enemies within and without have done to information and public discourse in the past decade seems at times almost fatal to the state.
