pretty sure you’re right — but from the article

> A key component of an ongoing anti-piracy campaign in the UK includes sensitizing the public to the risk of being convicted for fraud offenses carrying prison sentences of up to 10 years. Not for getting involved in the supply or sale of pirate streams, but for simply watching them.

Pretty sure the premise of the article is to discredit “scare tactics” being used to claim otherwise by interested parties.

I’m a big fan of copyright. Not a big fan of scaremongering.
That's not quite how routes work, but... of course it does. Outbound connections wouldn't work otherwise.
Commoditize your compliments.
I would rather stick to either pure mobile Web, or native views + C++, but that is me.

No added tooling, only the SDKs from each platform, no late nights debugging integration layers, lack of support on IDEs,...
They haven't touched that app in years, and it's not very good. I'd prefer they enabled using the iPad version over using that app - at least I'd be able to use Apple's window placement for the video!
Ideally we're not creating any of the translations ourselves - although of course we support machine translation. Our goal is to turn any native (or professionally translated) material into language learning materials.

We also have lots of ideas for 'Humans in the loop', verification, etc. But while we use AI for _a lot_ of things, we're trying to stay as far away from 'generate some Sanskrit' or 'translate <english text> to Sanksrit'
I don't know whether Sam should be fired because no one has published the reason that he was in the first place.

All I know is that the first time that the authority of the board was used to make an unpopular decision in what presumably the board members thought was in the interest of protecting the values of OpenAI, there was an insurrection that succeeded in having the board reverse the decision. The board exists to make unpopular decisions that further the core mission of OpenAI as opposed to furthering the bottom line. But the second that the core mission and the bottom line came into conflict with one another, it became clear which one actually controls OpenAI.
You are right. I was having in mind the HN crowd when I commented.
Copilot the fitness app, not Copilot the AI tool.
I'd be more okay with HN's "poor weak countries and their regulations are the only things standing in the way of mighty Apple" contingent if it weren't for incredibly predictable things like this.
For a trivial example, the code just calls curl_easy_init, a bunch of curl_easy_setopt, curl_easy_perform to do the work, and curl_easy_cleanup. (It leaves comments like "CURLOPT_WRITEDATA set to a objectpointer" in a comment block on params for which "You may select to either not use them or implement them yourself" - that's presumably where you are going to write your own unsafe code :-)
I used to read The Economist but the viewpoint irked me too much after awhile. I suppose The Financial Times is nominally somewhat similar, but I've found the FT to be a little more grounded, probably because they're primarily a paper for people in finance first and the general public second.
Just seems odd that it can't handle, for example, the fractional scaling and anti-aliasing.

XAML based WPF and Silverlight were really nice and eliminated so much boilerplate and plumbing code. Unfortunately, Microsoft management-marketing didn't want to sell an opinionated framework, among other blunders.
My theory is that if you enable all the attendees to give them feedback, they could start changing.

I like the idea of declining a meeting if it's not prepared OR 'nudging' them to prepare ahead of time.
I didn't know it was flagged! And I certainly wasn't the one who flagged the above comment I was replying to.
> I think if you ask the question, how do you make a compelling narrative when there's one camera, it can move anywhere on set, and it's sentient?

There's live theater too. Could be an interesting way to experience front-row tickets for a play. But what could AVP provide that a live play couldn't? Maybe putting the viewer in the middle of the stage, but it would be a pain to keep rotating to witness the action.
The entire thrust of this thought experiment presupposes that the response by society for crime, thoughtcrime or no, should be punishment. This is not an understood conclusion, at time of comment, 71% of the United States has some anti-prison sentiment, and many of them are completely prison abolitionist. I don't want anyone in prison for anything, not because crime shouldn't be resolved, but because prisons don't work. They don't work for pedophiles, they don't work for people who boil kittens, and they don't work for anyone else either.

And I mainly say this because a more prison-abolitionist position here makes even more sense for these kinds of issues: be something akin to organized, intensive therapy and/or psychological treatment to address the underlying issues, and, failing that, a position in society where the person in question would not be exposed to children; where they're allowed to live an existence they find fulfilling and contribute somehow to society, while not being put in a position where their desires will put them and others in danger. Not locking them away, and certainly not indulging their desires with placebos until such time as the fakes don't work anymore. And certainly certainly certainly not doing it in such a way where only the rich ones can take advantage of the fakes in the first place.

Like, you can slice this however you want, but at the end of the day, a sex bot company providing kids to pedophiles for luxury car money is not solving the societal issue of pedophiles existing, not even remotely.

The key is that it’s MIS-used. WD40 is excellent when used properly - as a penetrating solvent for removing stuck things. But not as a lubricant otherwise.
The real problem isn't that giant companies aren't supporting the Vision Pro with AR-capable innovative apps. The real problem is they aren't even releasing their existing iPad apps with the "works on Vision Pro" flag checked.
It's not like the corporations were well-poised to offer us privacy in the first place. Apple complies with thousands of warrantless requests for data every year, them being mad at government surveillance only makes sense as a marketing scheme.

When the government tells them to lie, they lie: https://www.macrumors.com/2023/12/06/apple-governments-surve...
> although for some reason Gunnar's baseline is slower. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I suspect it's because the baseline code is adding each line to a TreeMap before processing, effectively sorting 1B rows and then processing them. Your code reduces to the 413 unique stations and then sorts those.

I feel like Gunnar purposefully wrote the baseline with lots of room for improvement to encourage participation.
Why would they want to lose out on the additional ad revenue of not-logged-in users? As long as they manage to generate ad impressions, I don't think they care all that much.
Can you elaborate the superiority of Apple GUI system?
I wish most explanations wouldn't skip over the fact that field lines arent real, and just a tool to graphically depict what is going on. Statements like the following gets the causality entirely backwards.

As a father of a 2.5 year old boy and a pair of 0.5 year-old identical twin boys, I hear you. Having 3 kids under 3 is at least 5 times as difficult as having the one.

Two sets of twins must be even harder. Hopefully you're getting plenty of help from grandparents.

Every day, we just keep telling ourselves that this is going to all be worth it later, but it's exhausting for now.
I cancelled my Prime account.

Amazon (the website) is already littered with Featured(ads), Sponsored (ads), and questionable reviews. If the Prime option is not selected, the shipping time can be over 30 days. And I've purchased enough low quality products to know that price and quality are not related. I'm embarrassed by the time I've spent verifying quality, manufacturer reputation, price range is correct, it will arrive on time, and it performs as advertised.

The Prime Video interface is 40% designed around making me spend money on "rent or buy" and subscription services, rather than stuff I've already paid to watch.

Unsubscribing from Prime doesn't feel like losing-out on a service. It feels like pain relief from a capitalist hellscape.

The /playground link I posted to HN was meant to give HN something to click around on. The root index page is meant to be the primary marketing materials.
Does this mean the radiation hardening is a bit overkill for some applications ?
I mean, even if the 801 Soc is really weak against radiations (apparently, not that weak for a 90day+ mission), it might be better to just throw 2 or 3 of them with redundancy instead of going for the good old RAD750 and its pound of weight, crazy cost and weak performances ?

Or is just crazy luck and the thing avoided the beams ? Might be plausible, if the last flight is not explained, it was the one flight with less radiation luck ?
Last time I bought DVDs from Amazon they shipped me what appeared to be bootlegs.
Ah ok, will do that next time. Good suggestion!
Eh, I would count myself among those doubting a lot of experimental evidence. There is a lot of bad science around, and even good science is frequently used to draw incorrect conclusions. If everyone uses 95% confidence as the standard then 5% are wrong. That's one in twenty, and that's the best case scenario. In reality there is a lot more that goes wrong, and there's a lot of people out there who don't give a shit about things like integrity. And it's not like all scientists are perfect geniuses, people make mistakes.

There's also a lot of things that do get disproved, but nobody ever hears about that. Journals generally publish positive results, they don't publish negative results or failed replications. The whole for-profit scientific journal system seems pretty messed up to me.

But this is what we have. So I think it's important that people understand the limitations of modern science. In many cases the science is solid - we know MRI machines work, they're used all over the world. So clearly the science behind them is solid. It gets more fuzzy when people publish studies like "People who eat dark chocolate get cancer less frequently" because I can guarantee you any study in that vein will have something like a 4% lower incidence of cancer in the chocolate group than the control but it'll technically be just above the arbitrary limit we use to determine statistical significance.

That's the kind of science I consider pointless bullshit. It's not enough to be statistically significant, it has to be solid. It has to show a clear and indisputable effect, if it doesn't then the study is pointless. "It is possible that eating dark chocolate has some positive effect on your odds of getting cancer" is a completely useless result. We knew that before you started the fucking study.
Except, in the UK, I do. GDPR is pretty hot on that.

I am quite happy to take the (low and theoretical) risk of harm in exchange for the (high and real) financial compensation.

You're welcome to either pay more or shop elsewhere. We each have a choice.
But the obvious use case to augment a large mirrored macbook screen is native vision apps (safari, etc.) with windows open to the documentation / references that you'd naturally have on other screens.

Generally there's 1-2 apps that are native MacOS apps that I require when developing, and the rest could easily be independent windows of safari, slack, teams, whatever to supplement the main screen.
Surely to search a plane have to have already found it?
They're just examples of wider issues - not sure why you're getting hung up on the examples.
Yeah, like the Instagram iPad app.
I'm interested what the motivation is for retroactively typing an (untyped) legacy codebase. And how far will you go with it?

Are you converting bespoke dicts to sensible NamedTuples/dataclasses? Or are you purely adding type hints?
A common sentiment appears to be "Amazon (maybe Big Tech in general?) shouldn't be able to make any M&Rs ever again", as if every acquisition is anticompetitive.
Quick question - do you watch the meetings you record?
A lot of the truly-good actors get called character actors and are considered less important than less-versatile leads. And of course sometimes (often, perhaps) leads are good, versatile actors but every director keeps demanding the same, proven-bankable performance out of them. You see this with someone like Adam Sandler, who plays the same couple easy-to-play characters in most of his movies that make him serious money, but can absolutely act when he needs to (which is mostly in movies that don't make him serious money).

IMO Brad Pitt is an example of a "leading man" who's actually at his best in character-actor type roles. He never quite developed that reliable-draw narrow tyepcasting that defines a lot of leads (Reynolds and Pratt are prime examples—you cast them in a big-budget movie for a specific reason, like, there's little question what sort of character they're gonna play) and seems more at ease as a rather offbeat lead or as a supporting character.
That is definitely not where my mind went when reading "conlang". Thanks for the clarification.
A shortage of doctors could definitely stick around for longer, but it's still external influence limiting market actors.
Luxury/performance car brands like Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari, Rolls, Bentley, etc. can't exist stand alone, they just wouldn't be profitable enough if they had to develop everything in house.

Hence why most of them brushed with bankruptcy and had to be bought out by bigger conglomerates that give them access to the supply chains and economies of scale the likes of VW or Fiat enable.

It's how the famous Swedish SAAB went bankrupt. They were spending most of their budget on developing a decent media infotainment unit, instead of using a terrible already developed one form the GM parent company.
I kinda wish the address bar in any browser had an "advanced" popout menu that's basically a curl frontend with all of its bells and whistles. Basically move that functionality from the dev tools.
I didn't vote at your comment at all, so don't blame me. However you'll get an upvote from me now.

I agree about (some to most) of your writing and it was very informative (and lengthy!) but I didn't find the time to write something back which would honor your response enough.
How do you get those Android apps without sideloading? How do you find them? How do you participate in the wider Android ecosystem?

The AVP has a much stronger OS and software ecosystem play; you can just download and use your regular iOS apps, and multitask with ease in a variety of scenarios.

I want the Quest 3 to be able to compete with that, but it's not there yet. Perhaps Google and Samsung will be able to pull it together for their take?
We too have a nice 4k projector. Wife prefers to watch in the living room on an old LCD. She doesn't even mind watching DVDs (no upscaling on this TV). That makes my eyes bleed, but she doesn't care one bit.

Dude, all the popular chips these days are ARM MCUs with SWD. They can be programmed with a $3 ST-Link V2. The most you'd spend on the stuff you listed is $75 for a Black Magic Probe, but of course you can build your own for 1/10th the price.

$0.03 MCUs are the exception to the rule since they use proprietary protocols and OTP memory, but their programmers are still in the $100 range
Blah blah blah blah blah.

Seriously, it's astonishing to me the level of dissecting when it comes what these elites are doing at universities but when it comes to why do these Republican elites want to destroy them, there's silence.
Disclaimer: I do not work at Meta, but I work at a large tech company which competes with them. I don't work in AI, although if my VP asks don't tell them I said that or they might lay me off.

Multiple of their major competitors/other large tech companies are trying to monetize LLMs. OpenAI maneuvering an early lead into a dominant position would be another potential major competitor. If releasing these models slows or hurts them that is in and itself a benefit.
Their goal is to counter the competition. You rarely should pick the exact same strategy as your competitor and count on out gunning them, rather you should counter them. OpenAI is ironically closed, well meta will be open then. If you can't beat them, you should try to degrade down the competitors value case.

Its a smart move IMO
Great suggestion. Gonna build a landing page directly for a demo vid.. or straight to the extension!
For comparison, a bakery chain that I often by from here in Austria has a card that you can get anonymously but also an app, they also allows you to put money on the card, so it ought to be more secure in the first place. If you want to link the card to the app they give you a code at anyone of their 27 shops. I haven't tried it yet but hope the code is randomly generated for my card. I'll find out and report tomorrow.
Yes, this is something we want to look into in more detail, really appreciate sharing the research.
Somewhat similar, see https://substrait.io/

So for example using DuckDB with the Substrait extension, if you create a table

create table t(a int);

and then query it as in the article, you can see something similar to what is described in the article

CALL get_substrait_json('select * from t');

{"relations":[{"root":{"input":{"project":{"input":{"read":{"baseSchema":{"names":["a"],"struct":{"types":[{"i32":{"nullability":"NULLABILITY_NULLABLE"}}],...

DuckDB extension doesn't seem to cover any DDL operations though.

It doesn't look anything a colorized version of Steamboat Willie. It's a completely different story with the newest character design of Mickey & friends used throughout just with the "Steamboat Willy" character showing up.

You are free to colorize Steamboat Willie as long as you aren't doing so to copy a protected character. You just can't use later versions of Mickey just because they include Steamboat Willie as a character. Similarly, if someone legally releases a Steamboat Willie sequel today, you aren't allowed to copy that sequel just because it uses a public domain character. Its unique creative expressions have their own copyright that vest for that author's life + 70.
Poor guy just wants a friend that won't sell him out to the FTC or some movie producers.
YEs. Almost everyone has seen at factories the prominently posted signs updated daily: "XX Days Since a Time Lost Accident". Some years ago, I noticed in some more technically advanced shops a change: "XX Days Since a Near Miss", along with an invitation and method to report near-misses.

Seems like progress; a near-miss noticed is indeed a real gift, if followed-up.
Show HN : A No code Hack at McD’s
A no code hack ~ A McDonald’s that had a fully automated beverage machine when a cup size went empty the machine wouldn’t operate. Heading into a Memorial Day weekend with no pop machine and we had no lg.cups available, I put the straws in the dispenser the sensor accepted this and we had medium and smaller beverages available. A lot of customers drive off when hearing a McDonald’s has no pop!
It's not about employers in this case. If we think being a truck driver is an important job we can subsidize truck drivers federally, via taxes.

At the end of the day, society (in the form of government regulation) gets to decide what is and isn't an important job (i.e. government subsidies), and we the people can certainly put our thumb on the scale.

People collectively decided truck drivers were overpaid [relatively] in the 1970s, hence the deregulation of the trucking industry which led to a collapse in trucker's salaries. No use blaming employers here - it was decided by the government (representing the people of the U.S.)
Shameless promotion: Hurl [1] is an Open Source cli using libcurl to run to test HTTP requests with plain text!

We use libcurl for the super reliability and top features (HTTP/3 for instance) and we've added little features like:

- requests chaining,

- capturing and passing data from a response to another request,

- response tests (JSONPath, XPath, etc...)

There is nice syntax sugar for requesting REST/SOAP/GraphQL APIs but, at the core, it's just libcurl! Using verbose option, you can grep the curl commands for instance. (I'm one of the maintainers)

I was a bit surprised when I was diving into the Django type hints and realized that it was VSCode, not Django library, supplying some of the types via a "stubs" feature that includes extra type support for popular libraries like Django and pandas, the latter of which wasn't even installed on my system.

I watch Prime Video irregularly, I could absolutely live without it. If I encounter ads, I'll probably watch it even less than before which will probably hurt Prime Video's prospects even more. I'd be delighted if I didn't have to pay for it as well.

I just got a new car (not a tesla), it has it has controls that have dedicated buttons, it does have a touchscreen, and turn signal stalk, check. gear stalk? that's been gone ages ago. I have a/c control buttons, radio dials, volume knob. Don't have a spare, but that's standard. They used to pack a real full size tire before they started with that extra small spare tire crap, then finally they just give you a kit that can repair your tire. The touchscreen is not small, and no there's not a lot of tiny targets crowded too close together. They're fairly spread out and all the controls are about 3 finger widths apart. Not everyone gets a tesla.
