> Could it possibly be that encryption does legitimately aid predators and it’s also useful for legitimate security needs?

I never stated otherwise.

No, mentioning that concept does not constitute an appeal to emotion. I described the specific language in the article that was an emotional appeal.

It seems like domestic manufacturers weren’t able to compete on price or quality in the decades preceding the collapse of the industry either.

Autism isn’t diagnosed by blood tests or imagining like you might expect from simpler disorders.

> I have heard that certain patterns can be seen in the brain activity of autistic people as early as the age of 2. The progress which has been claimed by researchers, I presume.

These studies start with doctor diagnosed cases of autism and look for patterns that might separate them from controls. Latest research claims to have around an 80% match rate in a decent sized sample but these tests aren’t coming to your local doctor any time soon.
Awesome. What are a couple examples of what this may enable (drugs that would target the same)?
Judging by the history of the /r/changemyview poster, they were probably high when they wrote that. I'd hate to see the concept rejected outright based on that user's representation of it and the similarly uneducated discussion that followed.
Great to hear! I got a design running on a Xilinx devboard, though it's a very specialized architecture, not the general purpose CPUs I used to do as a kid.
I wouldn’t put HN in the same category as reddit or YouTube, in any case.
Ya. My setback is 3 feet, definitely just a margin for fire safety. I wanted to put an awning in but couldn't because it would be too close to the fence of my property boundary (I live in a town home that abuses the 3 foot setback to maximize living space).
That's curious. Where can one read such stories? eRowid?

Amusing. Facebook trying to protect users' privacy. Newspapers killing them for supporting E2EE without CSAM scanning on the server. Boy if that isn't the collision of two hot-button issues. I wonder who will win.

Wow that makes a lot of sense. When people complain about social media using their data, it often comes off as if they're addicted and a victim of it, like they're really complaining about their own use of the platforms that they have grown to resent. I, too, would resent FB (for me, Instagram) if it had even the slightest bit of control over me.

Pro tip: Like/interact with ads on Instagram that look cool so they'll show up more. I like the watches, cool shoes, cat food ads. I assume I'll buy something eventually once I get targeted with something that's not a cheap Chinese manufactured pile. It's never useful stuff like "Check out this cool shovel".
hn is good but too much good thing is a bad thing too
Probably. Or bluelight. Bromo dragonfly back in like 2005ish
Have the same question - I mean, for training an open source model with no monetization attached, not much Open AI can do besides ban the user, but they can make another account. For a company doing this with the intent to sell it as a capability... seems risky.
That sounds like what they did in Salt Lake City.
Yeah, I encountered it once in comments here, and then a bit more recently as I was doing research. It’s interesting that it’s not more widely discussed but I suspect it’s just because it’s not well-studied.

> Hope you're getting along ok :)

Thanks! It certainly helps to have a clearer idea of the differences (or potential differences as I try to remind myself) in how I think compared to how others think. I’m glad you feel confidence in the idea as well! I’ve seen it elsewhere but it’s always nice to have this independently “agreed upon” (since I don’t quite want to call it “confirmed”).
Wood captures carbon within it and has minimal energy cost compared to steel, glass and brick. Lumber can also be regrown.

So highly sustainable from a global warming perspective at least.

Compared to freelancing. If you're an independent contractor you have to market yourself, close deals, manage client relations, and of course do the actual individual contributor work. You have to convert a stream of individually unreliable prospects into a steady income.

There's plenty of firms that run at a loss from time to time but don't immediately cut jobs or pay.
If it were a weaker country? You can imagine the response might be different?
You're ignoring the lengthy article before the part they quoted. They spent several paragraphs describing how there's a real problem that's hurting children.

They then used the emotion that built up to attack something tangentially connected to that problem. That's what makes it an appeal to emotion.
Lockdown was heaven on earth. Suddenly normal to have only comms via internet, or play games or watch movies. No social BS like birthdays or drinking coffee with friends (they have coffee at home, too). Groceries delivered to the doorstep. Work from home (OK, sucks with kids being noisy), ample amounts of space in train, theatre. Bring own food to theatre. God I loved going to the theatre/movie so much with my oldest kid. Shittiest was the video calls. I hate those, just text or maybe audio is fine (TTS/STT too) can't read the body language anyway. Even had a neat job during lockdown, obviously got laid off recently..
What would the benefit of something like this even be? Is it possible it's some sort of tool that archives a user's internet usage?
The person who created it is using it as a direct replacement to paying OpenAI. They probably won’t consider pursuing this small individual, but if a big enough company did it, they’d probably have a problem with that.
Data scientists... And when you look at the query, it'll be 800 lines of SQL...
I think the joke hints at the recent events when Sam Altman has been fired (for a few days) and MS announced that they would take over the whole team as they said they would quit in response to Sam being fired.
Shorting Bitcoin has been possible for a decade now. The capex to pull off the would be in the billions though, and the value of that investment is tied directly to the price of Bitcoin.

That said, the attack you describe has happened for much smaller cryptos. I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm saying there's no reason to assume it would be a huge threat to Bitcoin, because the actual risk for a user is vanishingly small. There are much bigger threats to Bitcoin's valuation that are far more plausible, such as government crackdowns.
Fine but this one seems weirdly specific so we'd like to know which conspiracy it is.

The comment I was replying to said this:

> Also, more simply put, SCOTUS declining to review a case is a tacit (and somewhat weak) way for them to state, "the lower court is probably right about this [...]"

I was refuting that notion. It is 100% incorrect.

SCOTUS passes up cases they think are wrongly decided all the time.

They pass on cases with constitutional questions if the case itself is not suitable (according to whatever criteria they use).

They pass on cases that meet all the bars because their calendar is already full with cases they think are more important, often trusting that the issue will present itself again in the future with different case.

SCOTUS passing on a case is not any form of agreement with lower courts. Not strong agreement. Not weak agreement.
Show HN: I made a React component to add our platform-powered search to your UI
Hey everyone!

I’m extremely excited to share a project I led for our company- Vectara. If you’re not familiar with us, we specialize in retrieval augmented generation, or RAG, allowing you to get the most accurate answers and summaries about your data.

But more than that, we also do semantic search. And I’m proud to say I work with some really great engineers who ensure that we do that pretty darn well too!

And that’s where this comes in. For my fellow React developers out there, this one’s for you! Our new ReactSearch component allows you to add a semantic search UI, powered by our platform, to your app in just a few lines.

Check it out!
Uninstall, and it’s done.

A minor annoyance, imho.

Yeah, move over to Android and then tell us…
You’re right, I’ve never seen a home theater built in a shitter.

I find this interesting in that Apple is already speedrunning the pivot to industrial/health uses that Magic Leap (https://www.magicleap.com/en-us/magic-leap-2-video) and HoloLens (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/hololens/industry-healthcare) both eventually turned to.

It's more like a hypervisor than a true OS, and VM86 mode was the first hardware virtualisation feature of the x86 line.

Google bought YouTube in 2006.

YouTube began running in-video ads in August 2007, with preroll ads introduced in 2008.

User and usage growth since introduction of ads in 2097/2008 suggests your assertion is not correct.

“Many opinions” meaning to include many medical professionals in the process. “Many” being “more than one” because I’m a sort-of DBA professionally.

Even AWS in their own docs says to use the native tools when migrating from postgres to postgres[1]. They don't go into the details to much and points to pg_dump rather than pg_logical, but interesting to see that they don't recommend using DMS for it

Perhaps, but that doesn’t mean the regulation is proper today.

Netflix says the iPad version will work or did something change?
Hi, architect here. I have a lot to say about the issue, but I'll just start with a comment that the place with the highest rate of fires in residences and deaths from these per capita is Mississippi, which has one of the lowest rates of people living in multifamily buildings. In addition to the rural nature of the state, and prevalence of non-professional fire departments in these areas (these two items moot to this discussion), a simple version of the biggest contributors to this outcome are: the housing stock here starts out as poor quality - there are a lot of mobile homes, which have a separate, less restrictive and more dangerous building code. Plus the lack of skilled labor leads to worse initial quality over the entire built sector. The other major factor is lax or nonexistent enforcement of existing building codes and housing regulations. So already poor housing degrades quickly and badly. A relatively wealthy small town I'm familiar with went two years without a Building Code enforcement official.

But in contrast to the average American city, the average "European" city (let's just go with the generality) is much more "regulated" in this area. Planning permission is much harder to come by, and questions like whether a building can get by -safely- with a single stair is part of that vetting process. But it's very definitely just one aspect of the review.

I have extensive experience with California, having worked there for over a decade and even having passed the California Supplemental Exam. Folks are absolutely 100% correct that environmental and community planning review processes are routinely abused by those with clout to maintain scarcity of the resource they possess. "Those with clout" typically means wealthy homeowners and large developers who want to shut smaller parties out of the process.

Anyway, much more to say about this and I might chime in if I get the chance. But I love that the discussion is happening. The system in the US is pretty universally broken. But TL;DR the cause is not as simple as "less regulation good!" or "more regulation good!"
Good thing the lizards who pass the US throne back and forth don't have souls that need redemption!
Yes, it's explicitly against their TOS.

EVs Suck in the Cold I Flew to Chicago to See What Is Happening [video]
What actually happened to cause all of the recent negative EV news coverage in Chicago?
A response to the site in question:

While the tone is (overly) snarky, it does make a few good points.
Love it - reminds me of MC Escher. Some of these were incredibly creative.
CGA was the worst. EGA and VGA were huge improvements because CGA only had 4 ugly colors, while EGA had 16 (good), and VGA had 256 (much better). VGA also supported pallets I think (a way of allowing an application to use 256 colors out of 16 million supported colors).
> Apple has an opportunity here I think to make next-generation video site that favors material that works well for VisionPro and whatever follows it

I certainly remember the period when Apple didn't want to hand over the user IDs for users while they were accessing Google's map data and Google refusing to allow turn by turn driving directions on iOS until they did.

Apple's solution was to spend a fortune to develop their own Map data.

I wouldn't bet against them rolling their own 3D video sharing site.

I'm creating a low-code platform using AI to automate my own work (to be more productive) and also trying to learn how to engage an audience on social media (around AI and software development) to use as leverage to get contracts, launch apps and make a profit.

As a coder since 2002 (when I was 12 years old), I feel like I got into tech at the right time. Nowadays the new hacker is the people that can amass a big audience doing interesting things. If I was 12 years old now, I probably wouldn't hack my way coding, I would do it through social media.
Or a native Chrome browser on iOS.
The iPad doesn’t use the mobile version so I don’t see why this would be different. Should be the desktop experience.
I agree, in fact I would wager the opposite, that most who claim to be a tech company are simply using OpenAI or another vendor with a turnkey API for things launched recently. Over time I expect more use of fine-tuned models, but fine-tuning is not easy, especially if your goal is GPT parity (or better).
Now that I read it...
I used Flattr for awhile but I eventually stopped, because it had low discoverability of where the money was going and it was a recurring charge structure (as I recall), but sometimes I just wanted to spiff somebody one time. It's an interesting idea, but it never really worked out, and I also didn't heavily utilize it while I was active because few creators had a Flattr profile and the other mechanisms I was too lazy to use. A lot of folks here talk about selfishness being the killer, but the reality is that it didn't have a strong UX.
It sounds like how the pedals react and one-pedal driving are the reasons they suspect? I was expecting touchscreen-only controls to be mentioned, but for all I know new ICE vehicles are like that too.
Here's another article which isn't paywalled:

Those places that don't have housing emergencies generally have just as bad regulations, and would have the same problems the instant they became appealing enough to move there. Eventually you run out of built out sprawl.
If you want to argue about the law, you can! There is this entire profession dedicated to this!
We'll see. I remember when the iPhone wasn't going to support native code apps in favor of web apps for privacy and security reasons.

That turned out differently.
Good question. This was a pain point for my small team (me, myself, and I) a little while back. We had an unencrypted db deployed with CDK, and then tried to get it encrypted without losing data.
its not a bandwagon fallacy then... the fallacy part only applies if it has no causal influence on the point.

In the case of software, popularity causally equals tools. So it is not a fallacy. Someone deciding to make their railroad the same guage as everyone else is not a fallacy. The fallacy would be if everyone in the town said "we should make it different" and you ask why, and people respond "because thats what everyone else thinks, and the mayor"
I go the other way and tell people to ignore KMAC and just use HMAC for everything, and then you don't really need to know about truncated SHA2.
For the curious, this Wikipedia article seems to document the case GP is talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromo-DragonFLY
Sure. I find it easier to use the same words everyone else uses in informal contexts even though there is obvious complexity and is not fully accurate.
> can others just subtly keep way more items in their working memory at once?

This is how my mind works, but I've actually found it to be extremely unusual, and I would say your estimate of 90% of people's not thinking like me is, if anything, low.

I normally have anywhere from 4-7 things going on in my mind at once. This is comfortable for me. It takes concerted effort to keep things from popping into the 4th slot if it ever empties out.

I start to notice overwhelm at 10, and become incapacitated at 12. Whenever I reach the point of needing to brain dump and write things down because I'm getting overwhelmed, there end up being 10 things on the list. At 12, I short circuit.

But I'm ruminating on 4-7 things at any given time. My dreams are mostly lucid, and this happens in them too.

I don't know how to answer the "how" question, because as far as I can tell, I've been this way since very early childhood. I remember being 3 or 4 years old and having an adult tell me it's not possible to talk about one thing when you're thinking about something else, and laughing openly because I thought they were kidding. Of course it's possible. What other way is there?

But as you noted, I've found my experience to be extremely uncommon. I think most people can handle two or three things if they have to, but that's all. I can no more understand what it's like to be able to do that without being understimulated than I imagine they can understand what it would be like to experience my brain without being overwhelmed.
DAMNIT
it me.
Real estate has very distributed ownership and none of them are motivated to form a cartel.

The only way they can maintain one is through legal force. Zoning laws are almost entirely that force; they're a way to establish a cartel of homeowners.
For me YouTube would be the most beneficial by far, HN would be mixed but somewhat positive and Reddit would be a real waste in the past decade.
Unrelated to the article directly, it's kinda neat that the site's text selection highlight color is randomized on every mousedown.
We did, early on, get flooded by people who migrated en masse from another social network who - for lack of a better phrase - equated 'freedom of speech' with a right to post 'shock-and-awe' content just to get a rise out of others. They'd been run out of the other one and decided to try to take over ours.

Those of us running the site had a _lot_ of long philosophical discussions about what to do, but we ultimately realized that posting disturbing content with intent only to provoke wasn't constructive, and we had the right to define what type of community we wanted to foster.

So we booted the shock-jockeys out, and then went to an application-only process that lasted from 10,000 until about 100,000 users (that's a lot of hand-reviewed applications!) - and you know... I could still sleep at night after that, because it wasn't about stopping any specific cause or idea or viewpoint. (Indeed, a few came back, reapplied, and rejoined as constructive members of the community after that)

IMHO, there's a place for provocation, but only if there's a point to it - a message to be communicated. Random photos of animal heads in a jar with no commentary or explanation? Not so much.

I guess I thought of us as rather selective due to the application process, but as I think back, the application process actually allowed us to accept a much broader array of viewpoints, because our goal was always aimed at intentionality and constructive interaction.
> When that work is done, will it be a strong enough guarantee to use instead of just gpg-signing derivations?

Derivations can be signed already, and are signed in the official cache I believe. You can configure which keys to trust.

In that sense, it think it is possible to mirror the official cache.
You jest, but I know of a company that does just that very thing using smartwatches in marketing research.
Yeah, for sure. I've got a couple team members that I brought along from cloud only, (one having never run any unmanaged k8s even) to building and maintaining on prem compute clusters.

'We had a lot of discussions along the lines of, 'Yeah, that's a great idea, but we can't just autoscale out of bad config or planning' or 'We can't just reboot a host and get a new one, we have to plan to take care of the ones we have'

It's been pretty fun
well, not having the courtesy to write from an address to which I could reply if I had any questions is disrespectful to the candidate.
You can't pay the mortgage on a place you're not renting out though, so they mostly can't withhold supply.

It applies more to things like retired people living by themselves in a 3 bedroom house.
I'm aware of that and yet I find iPhone to be the better platform. Now what?
Nonce reuse in CTR, which underpins a bunch of AEADs, gives you direct plaintext recovery. It leads to a repeated keystream.

Nonce reuse in nonce-based AEADs gives you authentication key recovery; it destroys authentication completely.
