I tried to watch Rick and Morty season 6 here in Australia, only to find that half of it was on one streaming service, a quarter on another, and the rest not available at all. They make it impractical to obtain legitimately and then complain when we pirate.
I feel Valve is working on that with the Deckard project.
I can’t believe what is ultimately slightly more than paragraph on the subject gained so many points in HN. The point is not to ban plastic bags but to limit pollution which has been largely unsuccessful when it comes to bag bans. Fabric and “multi-use” bags have to be used 100+ times to show any environmental benefit over regular plastic bags. Studies have shown that, the thicker bags people have to buy end up being used just a couple of times. So while yes, people are using less plastic bags, the environmental impact has either remained unchanged or gotten worse.

I've landed on Poetry after having tried many different options over the years. Being able to specify my relatively open dependencies (Eg "django==4.0.*") but having the exact version of every subdependency versioned has proved to be very reliable and reproducable. Docker multistage builds allow me to ship a production container without Poetry installed.
In the context of plastic lids vs straws. While you seem to suggest that there is more plastic waste now by weight mass or quantity.
There are other considerations. A lid is likely easier to see and pick up. Also a lid is potentially more likely to be less problematic for fauna whereas straws are known for being problematic (e.g. that one popular video of a straw stuck in turtle nose).

I'm not saying we shouldn't try to do better though. But there are no doubt a lot of complex variables at play
Yeah I'm a big fan of aggressively dropping support for obsolete platforms unless someone is paying you a lot of money to do otherwise. Don't run software that isn't getting security patches.

I haven’t tested this yet but what’s better about pipfile.lock over whatever pip-compile spits out? It sounds like both are exact versions of packages, no?
I stopped using Netflix when they introduced that "feature" that you were never allowed to look at a menu in peace - it would always play the show you were looking at, behind the menu, with sound on, and there was no way to turn it off. It made the site unusable and I eventually gave up on my subscription.
Agreed. An example of the content being interesting because of the subject and in spite of the editorializing.
Not that hard to compete against. Just stop being assholes.

If Netflix didn't raise their prices at more than double the inflation rate, and didn't crack down on password sharing, and didn't deactivate devices of deployed military members, and didn't keep cancelling and censoring content, maybe they wouldn't have this problem.

>crazier speeds that no missile can compete with

CIWS muzzle velocity is ~1000-1200 m/s, ~mach3, substantially slower than modern hypersonic threats at ~mach5+. Hence counters to hypersonic missiles are other advanced interceptors. There were papers in the 80s detailing physical limits from mechanical tracking to over horizon response times and TLDR IIRC was CIWS not suitable for fast, low flying and slightly maneuverable anti ship missiles.

I think the cable TV model was a mature business model for extracting the most amount of value possible from paying viewers before they choose to leave.

Every streaming service will converge to what cable TV is like: paid channels, maximum amount of ads, additional premium content, attempts at lock-in, exclusive licensing of content, etc.

Not adopting the cable business model is leaving billions of dollars on the table, so it will happen.
Thanks! Discussed at the time:

Somehow any radio station can play any song they want (or seemingly any), for a standardized set of fees. And there is plenty of competition among radio stations. Couldn't we get the same setup for on-demand streaming of music and video?

I haven't pirated in a while. I was happy to pay for some platforms.

The problem is that pretty much all of these services say you get 2 or 4 or however many screens and now they're tightening viewership to within the same household. If I'm one person I'll never need to use 4 screens at once, so why can't I share them with a few family members who live elsewhere?

And on top of that, you get plans that never had ads before now starting to add them (i.e. Amazon Prime Video). So I'm paying the same or more (as prices continue to be increased) for the same base level of content with additional annoying cruft.

With all the extra complexity like this, it's easier to just pirate and maybe set up a server I can just give relatives access to.

Over the past few years, mass arbitrations have become an imperfect way for consumers to get relief where there is an arbitration provision with a class action waiver.

Unfortunately, you'll see in the Hulu agreement (as well as in other standard user agreements, e.g. DoorDash), that companies (and their lawyers) have gotten creative in figuring out ways to avoid even mass arbitrations.

In the case of Hulu, you cannot even file an arbitration until you: (1) send a written notice of dispute; and (2) have an individual one-on-one call or teleconference. You can hire a lawyer, but you have to personally participate in the teleconference.

What is the point of this? The CEO of Hulu doesn't have to participate. They'll just send some rando in-house counsel or paralegal. The only purpose here is to make it as painful as possible to file a claim.
Yeah, consumer electronics. See Exeger Powerfoyle dye-sensitized cells in wireless headphones as an example. They probably aren’t expected to last 30 years, but not being permanently outdoors probably helps a lot either way.

I don't know about pipfile.lock nor pip-compile, once I tested poetry I stuck to it without rethinking it (because I have better things to do than test all the package managers out there).

But the poetry.lock contains hashes as well.

> The killer feature of piracy is thar it just works, not that it is free

Especially as piracy has its own costs: VPN (French authorities do detect bittorrent), storage, some Jellyfin or Kodi host, some time to manage the whole *arr setup.

The moment legal access to a whole world's worth of movies becomes cheaper and easier than that, piracy becomes unattractive. That was the way Netflix was perceived in its golden age... No longer.

If a DB is truly a store of data, then any language interpretation is going to be done by a language interpreter/compiler and not by the functions that store and retrieve data. You could think of SQL as a language that operates "inside" a database (though I would prefer the term "against" a database). With any Lisp, like Wolfram, you are halfway there as the language mixes data and instructions on purpose.

Many comments are saying how finance companies should do more authentication for large transfers and the common response for that is a few million transferred is routine in that field and authentication of transactions the size of the onr quoted in the article would be impractical. The response to that then is if 25M doesn't matter enough to verify in some way then companies shouldn't cry when it's stolen. Then losing a few million here and there which apparently isn't worth authenticating the transfer of is just the cost of business. It's either worth the extra controls or it's like snacks in the rec room, not worth worrying about.

Interesringly the default DE in MOST Linux distros is GNOME which does not do what you describe, instead it follows the MacOS approach of alt-tab going through apps and not windows. I agree it is frustrating though! Have recently moved back to Windows and their alt-tab going through windows was one of the things I liked. However Microsoft has sadly enhanced it to include groups of Windows if you have stacked them side by side. One step forward and one step backward. As is the norm for modern UX.
> If someone spent time and money producing something, no matter how small, and they dictate they want $x for you to own/consume it, then you are stealing if you don't give them $x for it.

Not quite. It's not stealing unless they are deprived of the original item (this is not to be confused with the money they think it is worth if they sell it or "sell" it). What is happening is copying, not stealing.
Where we get the term "Banana Republic!" for such dispicibles as the DOLE family - who, we only know the white-washed name by their offspring Bob Dole charading as a nice ol' grampa type but a good ol' corporate boy.

--

One of the major scandals associated with the Dole family is the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. Sanford Ballard Dole used his government influence and self-appointed position in Hawaii to push the US toward taking over the islands in the late 1890s. The Dole fruit company in Hawaii rose out of the bloodless Hawaiian coup staged by the Dole and the US government in 1893. Another scandal involved the Dole Food Company, where a jury found that Dole should pay $2.5 million in punitive damages to five workers who claimed they were made sterile by use of a pesticide on Nicaraguan banana plantations in the 1970s.

I don’t think this is a bad idea per se (after all a fundamental principle of the open web is that the user should control the browser). However, although your suggestion is fun, it is mere civil disobedience for geeks.

The million dollar question is: how do you deliver those capabilities (a) without having grandmas phone full of spyware and (b) without giving your favorite Silicon Valley thought leader a 40% cut and total control of the ecosystem?

I don’t have the answer. Just trying to formulate the problem.
They seem to be alive and well in NFL uniforms.
This is just wrong.

First of all, you're rejecting teleological anthropomorphizing (saying it's weird to act as if "the weights have some goal") but then in the very next line you talk about the optimizer making "an attempt" to accomplish a goal. All of which misses the point, since the question is about _explanations_ not goals and intentions.

Then you reject out of hand any other level of explanation than the one you favor, saying "it's not more or less than that" when in fact it is both more and less than that; you can climb the ladder of abstraction either way to build more or less abstract explanations. We can dig down and talk about how the optimizer adjusts weights, or how tensor math works and how it's used in this case, or about how GPUs work, or gates, or transistors, etc. Or we could climb up and talk about (as this article does) and talk about what attention heads do, and why they work, when they work, when they don't, etc.
Yes, you are right, this apparatus is invented. ... and banning it will "push a greater strain on the electric grid" (to use GP words) with the current level of adoption. :-) Really?
While I fully agree with the hacker ethos of this post, a major issue I have with extensions today is that they're hard to trust. Chrome updates them automatically in most cases, which means a malicious update can easily slip by undetected. There are hordes of data companies looking to buy popular extensions or pay their authors to sneak spyware or other trackers in. The risk surface is massive, which is sad because I believe extensions are also one of the best modalities for extending what people can do online.

After almost 10 years working in corporations and in the government, I can't help but think that Dijkstra's call for quality rings truer than ever. It's appaling the amount of projects that get killed not only because they were poorly executed but also because they were completely useless in the first place.

In this day and age we live in a kind of stupor that we have to keep the wheel of economy spinning no matter what and that as long as someone is paying we have to keep sh*tting lines of code for perpetually late projects. It's like we're inefficient on purpose. Look at the shitshow that the SCRUM method is for instance. We are purposefully distancing software development from any kind of rigorous method, it's a real tragedy.

I have $1000. Currently, I am not giving it to you, and am therefore actively depriving you of this money. Is this stealing?
i'm not sure which i think is more likely:

Same thing with NPM/PIP dependencies (they can launch arbitrary code and clean up after, unlike Java deps from maven that just copy immutable archives).
That you mention a specific app in regards to battery life suggests it's more likely an app specific problem.

Because some people still think that grades matter

Sure but you can figure that out with just one leetcode question. After taking LC performance into account, there are ~0 bits of information left in grades
It's also usually just one more call to get the stolen assets frozen. If it's already "gone", it's not really "gone" and can be clawed back.

Such headlines are usually followed, a few weeks later by an headline reading not unlike this:

"Three indicted in scheme involving deep-fake to steal $25m".
It's probably experience in this case. Correlating clue texts and finding a common word that has an alternate meaning is not a new challenge in online riddles. And the author seems very aware of the usual tricks. Also not pictured: all the things he did try that were not the inteded meaning of the text.

Are you running with your AppleTV set to Dolby by default? The black screen is switching between SDR (maybe HDR) YouTube and Dolby Vision Home Screen.
I used to try to go 100% online rental (primarily amazon rentals if I didn't want hassle). I figured it was hard to argue a 3.99 rental was any worse than blockbuster.

So on vacation I tried to airplay mission impossible from amazon rental to the TV, and the screen just went black for copy-protection. So I refunded my rental and torrented it instead.

I don't usually torrent, but sometimes the ecosystems put it squarely in my self interest.

(Also, for whatever it's worth I have netflix active about 1 month a year because I find their recent content so unimpressive, but perhaps I'm not the target audience)
The study specifically addresses that:

“We used e0,t and e65,t to denote life expectancy at birth and at age 65, respectively. By including both indicators in our analysis, we aim to capture the different dimensions of the mortality phenomenon in the different age groups. While e0,t provides the impact of mortality in the infant and child ages, e65,t examines the mortality patterns among the elderly and minimizes the extrinsic factor associated with infant mortality”.

So no, it isn’t because of not dying early. Check it out. There’s a lot more to it.

Django-Hyperview Package
On this weekend, I have spent the time creating a small package that would help Django developers get started with the hyperview features.

With this package and using Django, you would be able to:
- Create xml-based forms from Python code, just like with the Django Forms Framework.
- Create a CSRF token in xml.
- Check in the views whether a request comes from a Hyperview client or not.
- Use the hv_responde function to respond to a request from a Hyperview client.

Enjoy it!
Alright dude, you clearly just want to enjoy your $3500 toy, don't let me stop you. I love and support you, brother. Meanwhile I'll keep doing a ton of stuff on my technically inferior VR headset that the AVP can't do at all, like actually playing games.
I’ll give you an example from today. I was out for coffee and wasn’t expecting to go shopping. I walked to a book store and bought some books. They have me a plastic bag. I’d normally turn it down and just carry the books, but it was raining a little bit.

If it was important, I’d remember. I don’t think this is important so I don’t care enough to always carry a bag with me.
The optimizer has a goal. The weights in the model do not. The optimizer isn't the model. There is no contradiction if you know how it works.

Climbing the layer of abstraction from model weights doesn't seem to work in this field. Just saying it's so doesn't make it so.
We routinely sell mostly to large enterprises. Yes, its not proportionally more difficult than selling to SMEs.
However the problem with enterprise accounts are:

1. They hijack your roadmap. You go into danger of building one-off features and bespoke software

2. Your risk is concentrated into fewer accounts. When you lose an enterprise customer you risk disrupting your cashflow and quarterly targets

3. If you dont yet have product market fit it becomes more difficult to achieve it (related to point 1)

Interested to hear what others think.
You're using a false analogy. You're trying to make a parallel between not paying for an item/produced good and simply not giving someone money in an attempt to downplay not paying for created material.
