Forced labour _is_ slavery, by definition. If your rights are taken away and you are forced to work, you are a slave.

The US 13th amendment says,

> either slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

"Except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted". Ie, you're in prison, and required to labour. It's slavery. It's right there in that US consitutional amendment.

There are different types of slavery. You may be thinking of chattel slaves, where a person is owned. A prisoner is not owned. That does not mean that someone who is not owned by another human, yet who is forced to labour, is not a slave: it's called de facto slavery or state imposed forced labour slavery.

Why is it "dreams" if they're making quantifiable progress toward their goal? The browser is steadily becoming more usable and performant. Proving that such a project is possible is one of Andreas (the project lead's) goals as stated in interviews.

I'd rather encourage promising "dreams" than have a web with only 2.5 usable browser engines.
> the coal is temporary and will be replaced by renewable too. Nuclear is just too expensive, long-term dangerous and sensitive to mess with.

Ok, but keeping plants open a little longer would bave still helped. I see no reason to start building new nuclear plants, but keeping them running a few more years safely and cheaply was doable and would have been a better option for the environment and the economy, making the green shift more palatable.
A Pivot Chart in Excel is a graphical representation of data that is derived from a PivotTable. PivotTables and Pivot Charts are powerful tools in Excel used for analyzing and summarizing large datasets. While PivotTables allow users to organize and summarize data, Pivot Charts provide a visual representation of that summarized data.
Yeah - I do agree, over the long term, that deploying this internally would be the best outcome for them, and would give them some great skills. But this article did put the Fear in me a little.

One of the main drivers of the project is to reduce our reliance on software vendors and move to open source solutions, so a hybrid/on-prem cloud vendor is probably not on the cards for us either.
Methane breaks down into CO2.
I did a mainframe apprenticeship for three years at IBM. Trying to learn anything on my own was damn near impossible. And that’s not even getting into the fact that IBM basically has to pay itself for access to some things between divisions. Though that could have been because my division was mostly ignored and eventually spun off.
Show HN: DynamiCrafter: Animating Open-Domain Images with Video Diffusion Priors
Hello HN! We have released a major update of our image-to-video diffusion model, DynamiCrafter, with better dynamic, higher resolution, and stronger coherence.

DynamiCrafter can animate open-domain still images based on text prompt by leveraging the pre-trained video diffusion priors. Please check our project page and paper for more information. We will continue to improve the model's performance.

Comparisons with Stable Video Diffusion and PikaLabs can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NfmIsNAg-g

Yeah but this isn't rolling your own key management system. This is the stupid simple every machine/program has the same shared secret approach.

The difficulty is securing comms between components (assuming they can reach each other, just making sure that the payloads are secret) and making sure you don't leak secrets unintentionally (forgetting nonces) and all the other hard crypto things.

But, it's not impossible to make a reasonable to use fallback system that does this, just no one does because of fear of being mocked for not just accepting the pain and bad ergonomics of TLS.

Other systems do work, but they have the footguns mentioned in the article that everyone seems to hit.
Yes. It'd be interesting to see what it makes of some of those ugly ORM generated queries.
Germany tried to do the same using russian gas, but then the war happened. Europe really needs nuclear.
I think the system just has an isolated loop that heat exchanges with the incoming municipal water supply. Unsure if the whole system cools the loop glycol further or not, but ultimately there’s still a compressor-based aircon system sitting somewhere, probably at each building, that they’re depending on. They’re just not rejecting heat to the air (as much?).

Would love to know if a data centre could get paid for rejecting it’s heat to the system during what is heating time for other users.
I'm sure they're very interested in supply chain attacks for operating system used by billions just to save you some time on your workstation at home.
We do care a hell of a lot more about pollution that most of the world. In the Netherlands half the country is at a standstill because some Nitrogen levels are too high. Building projects are stopped, farmers have to reduce fertilising etc. Even the maximum speed was reduced nationwide, not because of CO2 emissions but because of nitrogen messing with local ecosystems.

I support that, but it's very important to realise that this is pretty unique in the world. "Green parties" are a huge thing and often even part of governments, is there even one in the US? :)

And yeah we still import but you can't change things from one day to another.
There are certain "quality of life" issues with the open source ecosystem. I don't blame them for choosing (not at all) OpenAI. For one putting together a chatgpt like experience that supports reliably at least chat history and per user system prompts of different models, requires a chat client that doesn't exist (at least it didn't a couple of months ago when I was looking for one). The closest we have now is a vscode plugin written by one guy I had to modify to work with multiple models (but it is a pretty good OpenAI api client). Also, OpenAI API is a defacto standard for clients talking to AI chat bots. To set it up with Mixtral I had to put together a non trivial system of huggingface TGI server (code extended to support token bias, cfg and negative prompts), and a (very slightly modified) litellm proxy to translate OpenAI api to TGI API. These products were used from the latest github branch and all had various shortcomings that required coding to resolve. Now I can say I truly have an "OpenAI - like" chat experience. But one huge functionality is missing. Function calling. Although implementing it now that I already have context free grammars is not that difficult, it still requires time I haven't found yet. Compare this to just paying a fee every month and getting it all done for you.
Still I believe it is very important people recreate what OpenAI offers locally using open source software. Why? Be it is clear AI's like chatgpt is essentially sold well below cost now to hook people up. In 5 years from now once no one will be able to maintain their productivity without it, (not at all)OpenAI will raise the prices 100x and everyone will pay begrudgingly. Then they will raise them 100x more and people will pay too... Unless there is a viable alternative. This is why I(and many like me) are working on having my own.
If you don't have a way of verifying what the correct answer is, then is there actually a correct answer at all?

In many cases, programming included, you don't actually care if it's 100% correct, it is enough to just give you a nudge, show you the way forward, suggest some ideas etc.

If whatever it is you are doing can be verified for correctness, then of course you will check the answer. But for creative pursuits there often is no correct answer, and generative AI (LLMs included) excel at that.
Yeah but people don't like typing in their password twice, if they even have one and don't use a fingerprint/face scan or something. I use an entirely separate and very long password for unlocking my device and for nothing else, but most people don't want to.
Yesterday I wrote a custom page which dumped out a table for some investigation. I threw jquery and a tablesorter plug-in. Without JS you get the table, but with you can easily sort and filter. Took about 2 minutes to add the optional filter. The backend is bash of course.
Taken from the FAQ of serenityOS:

> Will SerenityOS support $THING?
> Maybe. Maybe not. There is no plan.
> It is simply a way to point out that someone’s assertion is unwarranted by presented evidence (often none) and aggressive.

There was nothing unwarranted or aggressive about the idea presented originally. It may not be true, but who cares? The purpose of discussion is not simply to tell truths. Nobody wants to hear that 1+1=2. That's pointless and boring. The purpose of discussion is to explore ideas and see what that uncovers.

“No, you’re wrong” is quite dumb too, yes, but a rational person would not respond with either. Instead, they would present their own take and provide something meaningful. If they really cannot find anything of value to respond with, they would not respond at all.

> If you can’t support a claim, you shouldn’t assert it as a fact.

If you can support a claim, why bother asserting it at all? You already know it to be a fact. You are not going to learn that it is an extra double fact. Once you know something to be a fact, it ends there. There is nothing more you can do with that.

When people assert something, you fundamentally know they are not quite sure about it. It is why they are still talking about it, and why they aren't just going around saying 1+1=2 all day long.
He also said he’d knock out Ian Cohen on sight if he saw him down LA Fitness after that review, man of many opinions lmao
I agree. I have a daughter attending primary school in Oslo(barneskole); they use iPad for almost everything because some years ago Norwegian government decided that using a tablet is important for they digital skills.
As result, we have to spend half hour after dinner everyday to help her practicing reading and writing because they spend so much time in front of a screen.
I don't argue that using digital tools can be helpful but replacing almost all handwriting with digital devices, in my opinion, is harmful for children development.
Yep, NextDNS supports custom domain lists.
In particular, I find that "fight the status quo" people want to change some external "system" more than the individual people (ie., themselves). It is easier to blame and demand change of external entities, while being comfortably numb about oneself and one's way of living. For example, see this article by the political professor Eric Kaufmann: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ssqu.13268
Brit here, an average cup of coffee would be around 1 heaped tsp of instant coffee in a 300ml mug with a bit of breathing room, say 275ml? But that would include the milk, so maybe around 200ml water and 75ml of milk. Would vary quite a lot from person to person though.
They already do have something that is incredibly usable for how long the project has been going (this context is part of why you're being downvoted, as well as just the general principle). They have probably got something that is looking more viable as a new browser than what the Servo project is doing now it's been detached from Mozilla. It really is quite incredible what they've done, and the velocity it's improving is just mind-blowing.
I would love to use this as my daily driver, but a lot of popular sites don't even work with Firefox.

The article is referring to knowledge based research ABOUT humans, not research WITH or ON humans. From the article (my capitalization added for emphasis):

---

Although academic freedom is fundamental, it is not unbounded. The same ethical considerations should underlie science ABOUT humans as apply to research WITH human participants.

...

Ensuring that ethically conducted research on individual differences and differences among human groups flourishes, and no research is discouraged simply because it may be socially or academically controversial, IS AS IMPORTANT as preventing harm. Science has for too long been complicit in perpetuating structural inequalities and discrimination in society. With this guidance, we take a step towards countering this.

---

History seems to endlessly repeat itself. Not just in broad strokes but quite literally, down to identical events and happenings. In the past the Church did actively encourage scientific research, but there was the condition that any findings and framings could not contradict the common ideological values of the time. And here we are again.

It's very tiring to see these kinds of comments, even as a bystander. I can't imagine how it is for the developers. People have spent a fair amount of time building this thing and deserve better than to have their efforts dismissed by the likes of you. Please, do better.

The current browser engine landscape is a monoculture, so this is a very welcome addition IMO.
If it is an iPad, it stands to reason that people from the education and medical departments should first evaluate whether there is any damage to the children's brains and eyes.

But the logic in Oslo is that our municipal government has a budget, and buying it at least shows what I have done as a civil servant.

I don’t know if you can get their “must do something” mentality.
The thing with Typescript is that it is only a fancy JavaScript linter, so the only way to justify newer releases is to keep adding up the type system, there is nothing else when language features that aren't type system related are supposed to come from JavaScript evolution.

So they either say they are done, or keep adding type theory stuff until it implodes, I fear.

Actually I am looking forward to type annotations in JavaScript now in the roadmap, being good enough for general use cases.
But for what purpose? There is no value in educating adoring fans.
Yes, and yes - the LPC bus is standardized, and TPMs need to use the same protocol to enable them to be modules on the motherboard.

And yes, it's only $10 or thereabouts for a logic analyzer that can decode LPC bus communications.

This is so wonderfully naive to the realities of contract negotiations between large corporates and governments.

There is an asymmetry here which works agains the public good. Corporations tend to only have to corrupt an offici or capture a regulatory body once to extract long term concessions, which rarely if ever get rolled back. The same is not true in reverse.

In practice this means governments aren’t able to effectively exert democratic mandates over policy areas like this.
Over those 12 years, methane "decays" to CO2 and water vapor, both greenhouse gases in their own right. And before it decays, it has a much stronger warming effect than either. So a ton of methane is strictly worse than a ton of CO2 in absolutely every way.

Kinda? Lawyers are myopic, vain, and we don't really do much to innovate.

We wanted to make sure there would be no cross pollination between legal advisory services and other professional services in most jurisdictions, but the only thing that division did was significantly restrict our ability to widen our service offerings to provide more value.

The end result is that we protected our little nest egg while our share of the professional services pie has been getting eaten by consulting and multi-service accounting firms for the past 20 years.
Also brings decreased health expenses associated with treating illnesses caused by pollution.
The widespread pollution from the accidents that have happened in the past. Nuclear cleanup from accidents have been extremely costly projects, not only from Chernobyl (which still has a huge exclusion zone) and Fukishima but there were many other smaller accidents too. And nuclear arms accidents, like the time when the US dumped a few nukes on southern Spain :)

Decommissioning too, very very costly to do it in an environmentally conscious way, the waste is very expensive to store safely. And these costs are generally not even included in the costs. Way too often an energy company vacates a site and the state is left cleaning up the mess which costs billions.
Another thing that is collapsing in the EU are the wallets of citizens due to high electricity price.

That's true, I agree with that.

You are wrong. Paris literally this week voted to tax SUVs from the city, in part because of pollution. It also speaks to a wider concern here not to allow commerce to dominate other public goods.
There are multiple decentralized chat networks all competing for users - Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr, Farcaster, and a handful of others I'm blanking on atm. Afaik they're not cross compatible, so once a user base gets established on one they likely won't move to another or cross-post much or at all. That's why the timing matters/ed.
The waste that needs to be constantly managed and significantly financed for centuries to come?

As it is the costs of the nuclear waste management are, and will be for a long time, fielded by tax payer and not internalised with the plant builders/operators.

It's really quite incredible that one guy basically started a project to create a whole operating system from scratch for fun and to give himself something interesting to do, and then accidentally created one of the most viable new browser engines in a decade or two...

I've been watching the development videos for a year or two, and the speed that this has progressed in such a short time is unbelievable. Now they have multiple volunteers and enough sponsorship to pay more than one developer, it's pretty exciting what could happen here!
Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance Launches to Advance Post-Quantum Cryptography
>Data Scientists, back in the day, were largely people with both a fairly strong quantitative background and a strong software engineering background. The kind of people who could build a demo LSTM in an afternoon.

As a field of "science" perhaps.

In real life (when it became hot) data scientists mostly meant "devs doing analytics" and a lot of it involved R and Python, or the term "big data" thrown around for 10GB logs, and things like Cassandra, with or without some background in math or statistics.

What it never has been, in practice, was a combination of strong math/statistics AND strong software engineering background. 99.9999% of the time it's one or the other.
