> But surely there has to be some agreed meaning of words?

Yes you're right, and the dictionary documents that agreed meaning, but some of those meanings will gradually change over time. It's not new, and it certainly isn't post-modern. You can easily find examples, here's a short list: https://ideas.ted.com/20-words-that-once-meant-something-ver.... I think the first three here ("nice", "silly", "awful") are particularly noteworthy.

> redefining of words based on errors and ignorance

How else could they be redefined? Occasionally someone invents a word on purpose, but that's relatively rare, and none of the languages people actually speak were intentionally designed. For all of history, people just spoke to each other and sometimes they got a word wrong or said it a little weird. That's where all languages and almost all words came from.

There's nothing wrong with feeling annoyed by a particular word or usage, we all feel that sometimes, I just think it's useful to recognize that basically every word was in that transition phase at some point in the past. https://www.etymonline.com/ is fun to explore this stuff, it is often surprising.

More examples from this very comment:

- We make a distinction between "inventing" and "discovering", but "invention" used to mean "discovery"

- "phase" only referred to phases of the moon until the mid 19th century

- "weird" used to be a lot cooler, and mean something like powerful, magical, fate-determining

- "document" used to mean "to teach with authority"

etc.
Is this sour grapes on behalf of large companies? They're _deciding_ "not to fight" because of the "tech correction" and not, "the regulatory agencies are finally waking up and applying the law."

Easier to pretend they're doing it by choice rather than by force of law, which is finally able to reach them, due to the "social correction" of no longer worshiping tech companies.
It's more influence than actual regulation enforcement. Smokers these days are seen as social pariahs in some circles.

AI seems like the Next Big Thing. Meta have put themselves at the center of the most exciting growth area in technology by releasing models they have trained.

They've gained an incredible amount of influence and mindshare.
I had no clue YouTube had RSS feeds and now I'm too late :/
Just looked into this, so there is actually a growing movement of people doing that, interesting.
Oh yeah, same here. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll tell you what I'd really like: I'd really like to see Vulkan become the lingua franca of GPGPU compute. It's probably more possible for something like that to happen now than ever, since I think the majority of GPGPU usage is ML via PyTorch. That said, it's pretty obviously very different from CUDA, it feels unclear if this is really a promising path to go down.

Optimising Vehicle Routing Using ClickHouse Cloud and Google OR-Tools
I wish there was some sort of "$40 for 40 hours" (eg: sketchup), and even better if there were some sort of "Humble Bundle" where you could do "$100 for 100 days of usage on any of ...these... services".

A lot of time I need the tool for a project (eg: one week), and would rather look for something open source or non-subscription-based since agreeing to ANY subscription to an important tool temporarily is akin to agreeing to it permanently.

It's not the same as "rent a rug cleaner from Home Depot" where there's competition, low learning curve, high compatibility, etc.
Some of the numbers, while true, create the false impression that you are required to play the F-150 truck game. In fact, I recently paid under 30K for a brand new Mazda CX-5 with some extras. There was some insurance premium increase, but relatively small considering that my previous car was already 10 years old. I could have bought a new Subaru Crosstrek, quoted to me for 26K, which is far from a barebones car - a new KIA Rio S can be had for under 20K.

What's happening is that people are seeing more value out of bigger and more expensive cars, so there is a preferences shift happening.

Also, think of inflation. 22 years ago I bought a new Honda Civic EX with manual transmission for 18K, which would be around 30K today. This car would be unthinkable in today's market - barebones radio, stick shift, no camera, no screen and noisy engine. If you have the Crosstrek example in mind, cars are actually getting cheaper, at least in terms of cost-benefit (like computers got cheaper as technology improved).
The issue is that the prices of staples have also been increasing precipitously an there have been clear cases where prices have risen universally across suppliers in a 'why leave money on the table, our competitors have raised prices, let's match them' type of way.

Something does need to be done about that type of situation; in a properly working free market the competitor would gleefully accept having 100% of the market and waiting for the high price supplier to go bankrupt or lower their prices. Instead you're seeing what appears to be cartel-like 'we've got your back' from suppliers. This was most recently visible with eggs.

> This shows a bad aspect of humans in the quest for truth. If many scientists are involved in nationalism, antisemitism, etc what can we expect of less rational people? Not saying that we need to be completely rational though but it is interesting when bad emotions beat rationality in smart people as a topic itself.

This framing is interesting considering how HN is such an IQ-worshipping forum: The context is the most pig-headed, blatant racism imaginable—doesn’t even try to rationalize it, just “Jewish Physics”—and then we pivot to how these exalted rational people (translation: physics-smart specifically) must clearly be more rational than “less rational people” (average people?) and in turn how racist they (less rational people) must be. So we went from blatant racism exhibited by physicists to inferring how these scientists must be leagues better than “less rational people” in terms of racial tolerance or rationality with regards to race (if race is even a thing).

Except the only thing we have in front of us is racism expressed by physicists. Not commoner racism.

So what grounds do we have to expect “less rational people” to be more or less racist than these exalted scientists? Absolutely nothing.

Imagine if a gaggle of biologists in Antarctica committed mass murder of another group of scientists and smeared their blood in some Satanic ritual. I bet the conclusion would be to speculate about how less rational people would be even more inhumane and cruel if they had to live through an Antarctic winter or two? Absolutely bonkers.
Yeah - it kind of blew my mind when I picked up a cheap DVBS satellite receiver box recently, tuned my dish to a satellite that carried German services, and found plain old Teletext running beautifully well on HD TV channels, rendered pixel perfect on my TV via HDMI. Mind boggling!
Part of it is that they already had this developed for years (see alt text on uploaded images for example), and they want to ensure that new regulations don't hamper any of their future plans.

It costs them nothing to open it up, so why not. Kinda like all the rest of their GitHub repos.
And it turned out that Facebook had quite a moat with network effects. OpenAI doesn’t have such a moat, which may be what Meta is wanting to expose.
I don't think it's as simple as that.

For example, one of the first items mentioned in the article is how prices are regulated in France, which is really not traditional price controls:

> France has set up a food pricing system that will sound foreign to American ears: Consumer goods companies like PepsiCo must negotiate with the country’s grocery stores on prices in the stores during a set period. If they can’t come to a compromise, PepsiCo won’t be able to get its products on the grocer’s shelves. The negotiations provide French consumers with a small but valuable piece of power, and President Emmanuel Macron has been trying to use the system to his advantage as he aggressively pushes to get the country’s high food prices down, saying they should reflect the fact that the prices of many raw materials have recently declined.

That's not really how people think of traditional price controls, it's just saying that prices must be negotiated once per year. Of course, what the article leaves out, and which is mentioned in the link at https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/french-bill-moves-food-..., is that only negotiating once per year means that if prices are set high in the beginning of the year, there is not a chance to reset lower until the following year. So consumers get the benefit of higher-stakes negotiating power, but you've got to live with that outcome for a year.

I also despise the "blame inflation on corporations just taking more profits" line of thinking, because it's usually made from as a braindead assertion without any follow up. That is, basic economics 101 says that competition should keep corporations from taking undo profits. So if corporations are able to drastically increase their profits without new competition coming in, it means that either (a) there is something about the market that is fundamentally broken, e.g. monopoly pricing power or collusion, or (b) the price increases really are warranted, and companies are worried about price pressures in the future. That is, so often I see the argument being made of "companies are gouging us for profits, we need price controls!" as opposed to "companies are gouging us for profits, what is broken in the system that is allowing this to happen in the first place?"

Thank you! I use standard KiCAD library for 95-98% of components, the rest few I design by myself. I've never had any issues with automated assembly. Anyways, I will check into UL.

I admit that KiCAD libs sometimes has broken 3D models, for many components 3D models are missing.

Food prices have escalated a significant amount in the last couple years. You would notice it if you have to feed a whole family. In many cases you subsidize to lower quality items or don't purchase items you used to in the past.

Unit prices have gone up for processed foods, core protein and vegetables considerably and, in many cases, the quality has decreased.
Yes. Quantization does not reduce the number of parameters. It does not re-train the model.

>Don't. Just leave it. Be happy it was found, but just be respectful and leave it.

I don't see anything inherently disrespectful about rasing the plane from the seabed. I recall people telling James Cameron that he should leave the Titanic alone but he made a great movie and brought the ship back in to the public imagination and didn't disrespect the fact many souls were lost tragically. The ship was deemed not economically viable to salvage but this plane is much much smaller and it may be worth putting in a museum.

I'm presuming you are offended on behalf of other people but if not can you elaborate why you find the idea so offensive or disrespectful?
Only on broadcast TV, and the decision is fundamentally reliant on the nature that RF spectrum is a finite resource to be able to justify the restriction.

SCOTUS has routinely struck down prohibitions against the same things in other media, including explicitly the internet.
> not long after that they started claiming it would take 5 days.

So when you are going to order something it shows 5 days, even though it’s designated as Prime? I had that happen a couple times and was still able to get credits when I tried, based on the fact that anything that is Prime should have 2-day shipping. I understand it is a hassle though, and it’s good to frequent brick-and-mortar shops to keep them strong.

Well of course, but the EU already has plenty of privacy laws to deal with that. That's no reason for the EU to object to this acquisition on those grounds.

It seems the primary issue here is that Amazon might be incentivized to disadvantage competing robo-vacuums on their marketplace. Which is not an unfair observation, but a bit strange given how many other Amazon-brand products it is already selling.

Pretty much everything about the Nazis, about Germany, about the war in general, is written by the not victors. If you grew up watching the Discovery Channel, everything you know about WWII was written about former Wehrmacht generals in semi-autobiographical stories. Things like "If it hadn't been for Hitler being such a terrible leader, we would have won" or "The King Tiger was an Uber tank that could have won the war" to "That flying wing Heinkel made was a STEALTH BOMBER", or "Those damn Soviets were sending meat waves at us armed only with a single shovel!"

Don't forget the entirety of the "Clean Wehrmacht" myth, that the whole Nazism thing was mostly contained to Hitler and the SS and the normal German army was mostly clean from the desire to gas all the jews.

"867-5309/Jenny" is a classic rock song by Tommy Tutone.
I find those discounts too, but it's annoying that I have to.

The prices pre- and post- pandemic are undeniably higher for staples. I used to pay $4.99/lb of ground beef at regular sticker prices at Trader Joes, Whole Foods, etc. back in 2019. Those same offerings are consistently $5.99+.

To some it's certainly a small increase, but I see similar impacts across other products as well, and it all adds up. For example, Kerrygold butter used to go for $5.99 and now regularly goes for $7.99. Almond Milk used to be $3.99 ($2.79 on sale), and now routinely goes for $5. Most Cold Brew products I purchase have gone from $5.99 to $6.99 or $7.99. And Cream Cheese is one of the worst - 2 bars of Philadelphia Cream Cheese used to be $6 and now regularly sell for $9 - $10.

It's everywhere. I'm in NYC / LA, so might be different elsewhere (I'm sure these prices look insane to most people outside of cities).
Just wait and see what happens when charging infra becomes more expensive than existing gas infrastructure. I've anecdotally heard from Canadians that they are approximating diminishing gains having an electric car, running costs-wise at least.
The driving majority has members who support buying tall heavy SUVs and pickup trucks "for their family's safety", running over pedestrians, speeding wherever they please, and protesting any kind of traffic calming or enforcement. And then there are the teens who run over cyclists for fun, such as in the case of Andreas Probst. Do you support that methodology?

They're commoditizing the ability to generate viral content, which is the carrot that keeps peoples' eyeballs on the hedonic treadmill. More eyeball-time = more ad placements = more money.

On the advertiser side, they're commoditizing the ability for companies to write more persuasively-targeted ads. Higher click-through rates = more money.

[edit]: For models that generate code instead of content (TFA), it's obviously a different story. I don't have a good grip on that story, beyond "they're using their otherwise-idle GPU farms to buy goodwill and innovate on training methods".

Capture the plane in situ and then have it available to view as an AR model (at home, or in a 'museum' space). Let users 'walk' or 'swim' around the wreck.
I actually agree with the author that the difference of 1s vs 4s for something like unlocking a door is meaningful. Anything that I need to do multiple times per day that I feel should be basically instant will annoy me (slightly) if it takes longer than instant. I could see an annoying lock falling under this for me.

It's not about time saved (for me), it's about reducing frustration.
One of the best "simple cooking healthier" tips I've ever received is to cut up onion, bell pepper, etc. and then freeze majority for sparing use in other dishes. After becoming college poor, this began my exploration into healthier eating. I now add onions/peppers to every hot dish.

The additional flavor makes food seem more filling, and isn't expensive. Also: potatoes.

>The biggest mistake any democratic government can make is life more expensive and miserable for their population.

>That seldom goes well.

We are the richest nation in the world, so calling life "miserable" is hyperbole beyond belief. You talk about this like it's a new problem.

We have been trying to get a carbon tax since literally 1992, but the response is always the type of nonsense your suggesting, which is designed to be feel-good bs.

If we want to stop climate change, we have to change our behavior, period. We could have done that slowly, but we chose to not do it at all.

If you're worried about life being miserable... buckle up.

Ask HN: Why are most web services "spoofing" the From email header?
All examples below are "From" headers in emails sent from various web services to our corporate email. This makes it look like we are sending emails to ourselves.

Some examples:

"'Amazon Web Services' via Redacted - Admin" <admin@redacted.com>
'Mezmo, Inc.' via Redacted Inc. - Admin <admin@redacted.com>
'service@intl.paypal.com' via Redacted - Admin <admin@redacted.com>
noreply-spamdigest via Redacted - Support <support@redacted.com>
'Shopify Partners' via Redacted Inc. - Admin <admin@redacted.com>

Some notable exceptions:

Heroku Billing Team <team.notifications@herokumanager.com>
Wise <info@wise.com>

Questions:

1. What could be the justification for this practice?

2. Does this practice have a name?

3. Is this not considered spoofing?

4. Reading plainly, "X via Y" implies that Y is facilitating something on behalf of X, is this the intended reading?
That's exactly right and my point. The person I'm replying to is the one that used an irrelevant definition.

The context of the entire discussion was NOT for the parent to decide to apply for jobs or become a prisoner of war.

It was to work for the man or do a startup. And building a successful startup is fucking hard.

Furthermore, nobody in SV is using the definition that the parent is irate about when they say building a startup is hard. They're using the one I've outlined.

Aside from the "positive" explanations offered in the sibling comments, there's also a "negative" one: other AI companies that try to enter the fray will not be able to compete with Meta's open offerings.

kind-of... When Ferdinand Piëch ran VW he turned it into a high end brand from the late 90s until 2010 or so, with quality actually higher than high end luxury brands at the time and some crazy high end models like the V10 twin turbo Touareg, and the W12 Phaeton. Even the Bugatti Veyron supercar, the fastest street legal car in the world at the time, was initially planned to be released as a VW model. Weirdly, VW was selling higher end models than the affiliated Audi/Porsche brands for a while. A spec'd out VW from that time period makes a high end BMW or Mercedes from that era feel really cheap. Even the cheaper models like the Beetle and Golf felt really high quality compared to just about any other car at the time.

Customers couldn't really bring themselves to pay the high end luxury prices VW was charging for something with a VW badge, so they went back to making low end cars... the current VW lineup are again all pretty low end cars.
