I read it. I think you’re talking about two things that have little in common … you re comparing middle age military conquests with 19th / 20th century colonialism. Arab conquests had no racial basis, they did not establish « colonies » in the 19th/20th century sense, they did not subdue the population, kill or banish their intellectuals except at specific and limited religious extremist times, segregate ethnies, and siphon the economy deliberately. which probably explains the arabization process and the fact that 90 percent of modern berbers consider themselves as Arabs because Arab is a culture, it’s not a race or an ethnic belonging.
Maybe a fairer comparison would be with the Ottoman era imperialism and I can guarantee you there are plenty of writings and arts in the Arab world that depict it in critical ways.
honestly, I just never found a need to do react an even more counterintuitive way, than the counterintuitive way that I'm fine with

there were never performance problems just because we used a ton of useEffects

there were never bounced users because hooks were not the most optimal

we did static landing pages without dynamic data that passed all the pagerank stuff decently, and then people came into the app and were more patient to see their unique account data

rinse and repeat
The tech savvy will just use VPNs to get around geo-politics such as this, at least a VPN should work in theory to get around verification measures by the Irish State. This advice has been echoed countless times when this issue crops up.

One concern is that there are tech-illiterate people who fall victim of such an ID system and don't use a VPN to bypass it. I don't have numbers/stats, but I imagine a good chunk won't be using VPNs.

There is also another concern I have; that this verification database could be breached and people's 'preferences' are exposed. The only way to avoid such a breach is to not collect such data in the first place.

>So I consider that lack of software to be not very much of a negative in that specific scenario.

Stop moving the goal post. You asked for an example of AMD not doing software, their pricing is irrelevant.

Incidentally, a 7800X3D is faster than the higher tier 7950X3D for general gaming precisely because of the lack of assistive tooling.

>No, the Nvidia control panel isn’t a good feature to me. I want a nice application like GeForce experience where every setting is in one place, not two different apps where one of them looks like a Windows 98 program.

Yeah, every single setting is in that "Windows 98 program". GeForce Experience has never been worth the CPU cycles it eats, it's just telemetry bloatware.

>I want easy driver updates because I play games. It’s critical I have the latest driver for the newest games.

If that's the case, Windows Update has you covered.

>Your experience from 15 years ago buying a DOA card isn’t relevant.

It is because that is a reflection of the experience I've always had with AMD: Unreliability. I don't consider any of their options anymore, always going Intel and Nvidia, because my time is worth more than that.

>As far as hardware quality, Nvidia’s best quality and customer service AIB partner EVGA quit the market because of Nvidia’s abusive business relationship.

Unfortunate as that was, it wasn't the end of the world. ASUS and MSI make decent products.

>If your laptop is Sandy Bridge era it is beyond both AMD and Nvidia’s support window by now, that’s a 12 year old platform.

That doesn't matter because I am talking about the last drivers that support the GPU in question, still provided by AMD. Those drivers only manage to drive the GPU in a very limited capacity, by which I mean it can detect the GPU but otherwise not do much better than Windows's built-in generic VGA drivers.

Doing the same with an Nvidia or Intel GPU results in a fully functioning GPU, as it should.

AMD can't do software, which is a damn shame given how capable their hardware could be.

With the way the constellation works (needing regular replenishment of satellites as they deorbit every 5 years or so), not currently supporting NTN isn't a big deal. If it sufficiently catches on, the satellites being launched will be given the necessary upgrades and over time the entire constellation will end up with the necessary upgrades.
Oh yeah, I'm definitely simplifying a ton of discussion with legal, but that's any discussion with them, lol. It was part of a broader discussion about IP liability regarding user image content, specifically referencing google images in this case, not snippets, so in this case works were reproduced in full. But the gist of my point, and my understanding of their point is that the often said "google serves other people's content like this, so my not-quite-the-same idea must be legal" isn't nearly so simple.
Gave you an upvote because you're calling out that this is a feature, not a bug.

But I don't think you needed to go down the religious-norms path to get there. It's not really fair. I think you could easily substitute items from the other side and end up in the same place.

The point is that the government wants all this information for the same reason they want to spy on our chat communications and all the rest - they want to control us with it.
These addictions are likely a symptom of another problem. It's not the porn itself that's the problem. It's likely childhood trauma or some other adversity that's caused the addiction.

I found your previous post - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38170336

I find your ideas interesting, especially your strong interest in routing around any faults, but still ending up with a relatively usable compute fabric.

My approach is much, much simpler.... just a grid of cells, with the programming lines unspecified. Each cell has a 4 bits in from their neighbors, a 4x4 LUT, a latch on each of the 4 bits of output. Clocking on the latch is in 2 phases, like the colors on a chess board.... this makes everything deterministic, but fully Turing complete.

The fact that the logic does the routing means that you can route around anything at runtime. The homogeneity and simplicity of the fabric means the run-time libraries on the host computer could do that routing, provided it had a map of the defects.

It's an alternate timeline, basically. Had Inmos not fallen off a cliff after the T800 with a wicked case of second system syndrome (I know that the T9k wasn't their second system, but it has all the hallmarks) things might have gone differently, earlier.

Unless I'm mistaken, the only thing that lasted was the // single line comment syntax from Occam.

I started smoking at 18 and quit 15 years later. Truth be told, we didn't fully understand how addictive it is. The thing with addiction is that it's a very abstract concept. As a smoker, you tend to believe that you smoke because you enjoy it, not because you desperately need it, although the signs of dependency are there. For instance, you wake up in the morning, and the first thing you feel compelled to do is light a cigarette to get your fix. Ironically, I only realized how addicted I was to smoking when I quit and experienced withdrawal symptoms, which came as quite a shock
So who's behind these porn laws that are popping all over the place?

Fine. Pick a platform to support.
Beware: you run risk of inadvertently downloading or distributing child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

A friend was talking about how their US friend got given a sex offence label due to downloading a zip of porn that unknown to them contained some CSAM. Lost their job and worse.

You didn't know is no defence in some jurisdictions. You personally can't check images or image collections for legality, so the risk is real.
Partially, Microsoft is leaving to the community to care about GUI frameworks, not even MAUI is getting first class Linux support.

Additionally they see VSCode as good enough, with top tier experience available on VS proper.

So if you want the same tooling experience across the board for all .NET workflow as VS, you need to buy Rider.

Ok. So GPT is a tool and therefore the legality is entirely tied to the use of its outputs. And we already have a large body of law around that for IP. I’m still not understanding your argument.

And Re: Google. I agree. Which is why the case law around Google books showing full excerpts is important to look at.
Ya know, I've never had a Linux box that had any of the problems listed about modern windows. Also all the advantages listed about Windows XP are also present in Linux... But I've never paid Microsoft for an OS that showed me ads against my will in my Start Menu, so maybe I just don't know what I'm missing.
Whenever I set up a new computer for older family members, despite it being windows 11, I always install open shell[1] and retro bar[2]. Between the two, I've made the operating system look very close to Windows XP visually, and they always appreciate it.

I just don't get it. NHS needs a big data platform so they go to a... spy tech company? Why are they so insistent that it must be Palantir that builds this, instead of choosing from a dozen of other consulting companies that don't have a dodgy track record?

Ideally the NHS would just build it in house, but sadly it's a slow and bloated organisation unable to innovate (as most government managed things usually become).
Just for funsies:

Say a white rook is on h7 and a white pawn is on g7.

Rook gets taken, then the pawn moves to g8 and promotes to a rook.

The rook kind of moved diagonally.

"Ah, when the two pieces are in this position, if you land on my rook, I have the option to remove my pawn from the board and then move my rook diagonally in front of where my pawn used to be."

Functionally, kind of the same? Idk.
No wonder why it’s so sad
I’m not really interested in following every service but… idk. Is that actually true? I doubt it.
One of the biggest challenges modern OS developers face (Apple and Microsoft namely) is how to make the new version of the OS appealing enough for users to move to. There are carrots like a fancy new feature, or sticks like “we’re not supporting this anymore, so if you want your computer to be secure you need to upgrade.”

A lot of people don’t care about the carrots though. Their computer does everything they need it to and does so reliably. In a lot of ways the OS is a solved problem, but the companies who make them still need to pay the bills for all the security work that will always need to be done.

It makes me wonder if Apple (for example) put macOS into a no-new-features mode and just improved security from here-on-out what the long term effects would be for users and the industry.

I appreciate this feedback. Thanks for writing it out. You have some valid points here and I'll think about them going forward.

You mentioned you were in a similar place to this, I'm curious to hear about your experience and the specific decisions you made back then, if you're comfortable sharing.
Farscape is on my list. I've watched DS9 and Babylon 5 with my spouse in the last few years, and we both enjoy it very much.

> Everything just seems like preaching and it can be difficult to watch even if you agree with the message.

Maybe this is more accurate to how I feel. DS9 and B5 had a lot of plot lines that would probably be called political, but were abstracted away and never felt like I was being force fed political ideology, it was more of an exploration of those ideas.
Perhaps I lack imagination, but for so many of these AR/VR glasses I just don't understand who the target market is besides (a) gamers and (b) niche commercial applications. To be clear, I think those 2 markets are big enough to support building some great products (I've played some games on the Quest and loved them), but all of these companies (especially Meta) seem to have the belief that most of us will be wearing these for a large portion of the day, and I just don't buy it. If anything, I want less distraction and notifications from my devices.

I wouldn’t want to have either 100 lodash dependencies or ship a ton of functions that aren’t used. Tree shaking is a pretty nice build step.
I wonder if there was some other personal conflict involved (maybe the Manager of Risk Management, Director of Facilities, or VP of Admin Services got hilariously teased by the comedian and found it publicly humiliating or something). Seems like too dramatic a grudge to be just based on ticking some procedural boxes.

In any event, good work by the SAG AFTRA legal team, and it's nice to have the arbitrator overturn this kind of petty bullshit.

Eh, I'm not really much of a 'both sides' type of person when one particular group (in the US in this case) is increasing pushing rules that border fascism while the other side may have bad ideas, but are far more moderate. To do so hands power directly to the fascists and makes them an acceptable choice.

Pre IPO ex Palantir here.

Palantir will do a number of things to gain influence. They'll find out who are the decision makers on the space they want a contract, and they'll target them specifically. For example: if they know you take the train to work every morning, and read the news paper, they'll take a full page advertisement on the paper they know you like and that you'll see. They gain this information by, you guessed it, spying on their targets.
Speaking as an academic: No, everyone does not plagiarize. I don't let my undergrad students do it, but they may get away with a warning. In the worst case, I have failed them out of a course.

A graduate student? Multiple instances in their thesis or dissertation? I would fail them so fast their head would spin. Then they would be up before a board at the school, to see if they should be failed entirely out of the program.

I never heard of Ackman before this weekend, and his motivation sucks. But I hope he really does go through with his threat. Check the dissertations of every staff and faculty member at all of the Ivy's. A bucket of cold water may inspire some housecleaning.
> I think most American kids (sorry Ireland) are pretty much unrestricted on the internet by their tweens, since most parents buy them smartphones but don’t know how to do meaningful browser lockdowns.

It’s actually pretty hard to do lockdowns because there’s been so much consolidation. Many parents can turn on the built in controls, but then they face problems like “do you block YouTube entirely, even though their homework will include links to things like videos from NIH hosted there?”

The big problem isn’t that kids could innocently find sexual content but also that grownups will try to trick them into engaging with things for a variety of reasons. This is different from letting your kid have free rein of the public library because the library didn’t have some guy recruiting for a political movement putting books in the children’s section and the librarians wouldn’t let that creepy dude hang out there.

This came up at a school party recently where multiple parents of first graders were talking about how quickly YouTube will go from auto playing LEGO and Minecraft videos to some pretty unhinged stuff.

Hello everyone!

I'm a Software Engineer, Graduated with MS in CS from Arizona State University in Dec 2023. I have one year experience in software development. Looking forward to exploring job opportunities and build network :)
Yeah, in countries where they teach empathy in schools they don't need to force any of this, the vast majority understands from a young age that is the right thing, in countries like the US they don't, that's why they end up worshipping people that represent the full opposite, people like Trump.

Somehow it's ok to force people to pay taxes and at the same time make holes on those laws so people like Bezos pay next to zero taxes, but making companies hire black people is just "too much forcing", your definition of what is acceptable forcing and what is not seems extremely biased.
I go by two names. A legal name and one my friends call me.

Legally I'm Pizza. My buddies call me Za.

I don't care for my legal name and don't identify by it. I haven't legally changed it for many reasons.

I am not harmed by someone using my legal name.

Verifying someone's identity should be against a legal identity as contracts are bound to legal entity.
Right. The job of an OS is to mostly stay out of the way of running code, until there is a system call or context switch.
There's no way of getting kids from getting porn if they really want it. We had plenty of VHS and magazine porn as kids even though shops didn't sell them to kids.

Current mainstream porn sites curate off the most hardcore stuff quite well. The dark web versions that will pop up due to draconian KYC will definitely not have such curation.

I'm genuinely worried that increased adoption of VPNs to get around these restrictions will then lead to laws that ban or restrict VPN use.

You can tell me that it will be difficult to enforce such a ban - but then it turns us all into criminals - all the better to control us.

What are the citations actually required for though?

Another way to ask this is: what value remains without them?

I'll add this as well: humans produced valuable knowledge for thousands of years without the use or standard of citations.

To be clear, I think citations are highly valuable and desirable and I very much want LLMs to cite when appropriate. However, I think the necessity of this is overstated.

Edit: what you said of experts can be said of LLMs as well.
