While perhaps a bit hyperbolic, I agree. Though I will be more nuanced and say that ban all tech from classes that aren’t about the tech. I think computer literacy classes for children are more important than ever, and not every family has the means or knowledge to teach kids these skills.

When I was a teenager in the 2000s you could still go to the mall, walk into an store and fill out a paper application for jobs, though even then they looked at you a bit funny. I’m pretty sure that’s not possible anymore, so it’s effectively required to at least be able to access the internet to find a job and participate in society. You’ll also almost certainly need to know how to use computers, and depending on the work, understand files and file systems.

I’m follow some subreddits that tend to attract younger people who are interested in programming. Whatever you take for granted about basic computer knowledge, I suspect most people don’t have it. One recent example was someone concerned that if they saved more than one file in a folder, it would overwrite anything in there (like a video game save slot). I think for a lot of people their only computer knowledge comes from game consoles and phones.
Good question. Until now we can say that Milei is a libertarian and follows a far-right agenda of anti-abortion and climate change denial. Thinking epistemologically and not entering in the discussion on if he is right or wrong, we can say that this is a well known script by some other political leaders (e.g. Bolsonaro) more than an independent thinking.
One is a password, the other is an unlock phrase for a securely generated key. Password based keys need to go through PKDFs and have limited entropy.

A "PIN" in the TPM sense is alphanumeric and will be entered the same way the user enters a passphrase, except the secret that actually protects the disk isn't derived from that passphrase.

It's much harder to brute force a TPM PIN than it is to brute force your average PKDF function. The brute force complexity grows to encompass the full key space rather than the key space of a key derived from memorable alphanumeric text. With a proper passphrase this probably won't matter much in terms of feasibility, but a lot of users pick terrible passwords that are easy to brute force with a whole bunch of servers, while with a TPM chip an attacker would need to choose another method (i.e. attacking the TPM itself).

It's a bit unfortunate that people can't look past the projections and the dot frames/QR codes. Those are just a means to an end, which is trying to simulate a world where all objects have the ability to compute and can be easily reprogrammed on the fly.

Imagine a future 20 years from now where color e-ink is as cheap and ubiquitous as wood pulp paper, and microchips are so small and cheap they can be embedded in everything. Folk (and DynamicLand which inspired it) seems to be a peek into what living in that world could be like.

I was going to counter that we can circuit-bend humans enough to know that the processing is local, unless you're going to claim that every little piece of a human is connecting remotely to the magic-land - but then I remembered that this is exactly how "Internet of Things" starts to look like: tons of devices sitting next to each other, but for no fucking reason, talking through servers on the other side of the planet.

It's not a case of lax enforcement, it's simply a case of David vs Goliath.

Ireland, as a country has a population of 5 million and is 1/8th the Size of Texas. The nearest comparable European capital, London, has a population of 9 million.

GDPR was only introduced in 2018. Since then the Irish DPC has transformed from a small regionally-based office of 27 staff into an independent pan-EU regulatory body of ~250 SMEs and support staff.

In 2022 the Irish DPC was responsible for more than €1bn in GDPR fines issued out of a European total of €1.64bn.

In May 2023 they charged Meta with a €405m fine for violations relating to children’s privacy on Instagram, in November 2023 they followed up with a €1.2bn fine for its Facebook data transfers between the EU and the US, which is the largest GDPR fine issued to date.

Not only has the Irish DPC leveraged the largest fines in GDPR history against US MNCs for egregious Data Protection breaches, each time they do so they're hauled out in front of the US media to justify their decisions:

While I'm an avid supporter of Max Schrems and NOYB in particular, and am very vocal about the failings of both Helen Dixon and the Irish government in terms of ramping up our Data Protectorate function to meet the role of Federal Overseer that we accidentally found ourselves in, it's simply a case of cutting our cloth according to our measure.

Ask HN: How does Facebook Messenger's "e2e encryption" work in Australia?
Recently my Facebook Messenger app notified me that it was now “end to end encrypted” [1]

This puzzled me, as in Australia there was a law passed a few years ago that requires companies like Facebook to disclose conversations if requested by the government [2]… I don’t necessarily agree with this law…

However, I am curious if Facebook is actually able to still meet this requirement? … or if there’s a back door to this encryption…

This throws me back to my junior days (2008~) where i had a heated discussion with my technical lead, to add jQuery to a project.

His argument was that the size of minified library(40kb) would add too much overhead to the loading time of the page.

He then, promptly spent a full week trying to code an ajax call and testing its support on different browsers and ultimately failed to make it work on Internet explorer 5.

jQuery solves many headaches back then, and yes he finally added the library to the project.

You can also say 'consciousness doesn't exist, we're all P-zombies'.

Or even the more limited version: consciousness exists, but doesn't have a lot of the magical powers usually ascribed to it (free will, etc).

By choosing the tools you are familiar with means you will usually use sub optimal tools, compared to what else is out there.

There is always a newer and better function, library, language, but until it's a deal breaker, keep life simple.

When it comes to programming, I can hear the sirens call as programming moves to be natural language via a generative AI that implements whatever you want in whatever languages you want.

Could we then argue that the AI is the single tool?

I personally hate this concept because it treats the world as a homogenous group where the largest number of people with a common opinion is noteworthy. It's as bad as the "Top ten songs from the 70s" or "New and Trending" anything. It's a process that literally destroys the diversity of human thought.

To be fair there is a lot you can do in userland. Graphics protocols, package management, isolation, security etc. And even more can be done by incrementally patching the kernel where needed.

It's just that Linux is kind of usable out of the box with just the kernel and /bin/sh. But for other OSes this isn't true, the kernel can expose a vastly different interface than the actual os which users interact with.
for simple scripts, this is the easiest and works.

python3 -m venv venv

pip install whatever
echo "source path/to/venv/bin/activate && python3 path/to/app.py" > myscript
mv myscript /usr/local/bin

and just use myscript.
I use this for a lot of little scripts
I struggled with ordinary school math. It was boring and apparently had no value to me - but once I used math in combination with programming, to draw beautiful art or make computer games, path finding algorithms, simple AI - suddenly it was fun. There is just so much potential of advanced learning with the help of computers.

Not to say that everything needs computers, of course not. But banning them seems a not that helpful overkill.
> it is impossible for naturalism to explain (or explain away) consciousness, and consciousness is real, therefore naturalism is false. That's my position. There isn't even the seed of an explanation given naturalism, and I think the naturalist's best position is to simply deny there's anything to explain. The whole project, given naturalism, is hopeless.

Materialism (the much more common name of "naturalism") can, in principle, very much describe consciousness, if we understood the functionality of the brain enough. We already have an inkling, due to Turing: the human mind is quite possibly a computation, a mathematical object. Consciousness could then be an identifiable aspect of this computation.

I do agree though that in general, the materialist position is simply that consciousness is just not that deep a mystery, and some of the "deeper mysteries" like qualia are nothing special that even needs any explanation.
And an irony is, if you do indeed keep the focus on learning, some lucrative spin-off buinesses seem inevitable. So, paradoxically, if you want the most lucrative benefits/ boost to the economy, you have to avoid doing anything to seek that and focus on learning instead. Only when you completely abandon the goal of making money off of any of it, do you then actually have more chance to start making money off of it. ;)
That works fine until hostiles manages to trick users to install their software directly or, to get back to the topic, their own app store or browser.

> Apart from the obvious reason why it can’t work (jealousy), one problem is that it’s not good for society at large. These groups are probably low fertility for one, and they take partners away from others.

I don't follow, since the group is not a large cohort of society by any means, how can it affect society "at large"?

> These groups are probably low fertility for one, and they take partners away from others.

It might be, it might be not, that's your assumption. "Take" partners away from others in what sense? Their partners might have other partners as well, it's polyamorous after all, I don't understand your reasoning at all.

12 years of software development and I still love to write code! I consider myself a full stack engineer with a natural predisposition for frontend. In my last job adventures I've been working in adtech (I was also contriburtor for Prebid.JS), for Swiss and US companies. Javascript, NodeJS, Typescript and React currently are my main languages/frameworks, but I've also developed stuff with Python, Php/Laravel, and long time ago Java.

I wouldn't mind a journey in the mobile apps world, for example with React Native or going natively into iOS/Android, if you are willing to open the doors of such things to a curious developer.

Reputation companies have perverse incentives and often need to pay off offending privacy-invading sites - see https://thewalrus.ca/clean-online-reputation/.

You'd be essentially funding this continued privacy invasion of individuals - even if this service is successful for yourself.

That's a lucrative product for a for-profit company to offer, but seems like a poor fit for the parent foundation's goals of creating a more privacy-respecting internet on a systemic level (rather than just for a few paying customers).
Core to Andreas' story is that he did his engineering as an escape from drugs, not the other way around as you allude to.

Just some thoughts:

- no word on pricing or availability, which are the most important pieces of information

- resolution is in a weird spot where it's too high to drive most games at native res and potentially too low to look good at 2x integer scaling

- screen is 120Hz and has "500nits Brightness", but is not OLED

- having trackpads make this usable in more contexts than gaming (from my experience with the deck), but they could end up being trash

- I haven't had the chance to use either hall effect triggers or sticks, but I am curious on how they pan out

- advertising "no exposed screws" is mad suspicious to me, and casts doubt on reparability

- dual usc-b ports (top and bottom) is always great to see
Okay then your comment is weird, windows & mac dont have distribution with node versions lower then LTS. It can be an issue on ubuntu/linux having an outdated registry. But nextjs clearly states minimum node version in their docs: https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started/installation

And how to install every version you want NVM, that's on the user if it didn't work. That's not something different then can happen with PHP or other tools as mysql in the LAMP setup.
Also not in the field

But aren’t these two completely different challenges?

Successfully growing the structure of brain tissue is one task

But regenerating enough cartilage with enough strength and robustness to support a joint is another challenge altogether?

Sort of how chip R&D is famous for some exotic structure like CFETs or graphene transistors being created, but reliable and scalable wafers with a chance of being economically viable is an altogether different feat?

Interesting. I looked at Wikipedia GPL page and saw this: "The GNU General Public License (GNU GPL or simply GPL) is a series of widely used free software licenses or copyleft that guarantee end users the four freedoms to run, study, share, and modify the software.[7] "

So any user of GPL covered software can share it with anyone. Right? Can any RHEL user share sources to Rocky? And to public?

You dropped about 250000 characters from the first example.

Of course if you load a bunch of code beforehand your code will be marginally better.

The fact is that you probably don’t need to send JSON anymore because fetch accepts the whole form as an object:

await fetch('/my/url', {
method: 'POST',
body: new FormData(form)
})
This is building an OS as in the way people build a PC for themselves. TFA is more about creating an OS.
> since some naturalists deny there's actually any such thing as 'consciousness' to be explained

> it is impossible for naturalism to explain (or explain away) consciousness, and consciousness is real, therefore naturalism is false

I’ve always found the denial of the existence of experiential consciousness to be kind of funny. If you removed all my senses and put my brain in a vat to keep it alive, what would be left? As far as my brain is concerned, consciousness is the only thing for which I can be definitively certain of its existence.

It’s a solipsistic viewpoint, because I can only prove that consciousness is real for me. And since I can’t prove that it is real to anyone else, it’s not “science” in the sense of the societal process that requires reproducibility among peers, but perhaps it is still science at the personal level since I can reproduce the observation of its existence to myself at any moment that I choose.

> We call this challenge 'the hard problem of consciousness'. The challenge for idealism is to explain (or explain away) the physical. However, there is no analogous 'hard problem of non-consciousness' (but the explanation of this would take an unreasonable amount of words that I cannot fit here).

There absolutely is. If the world is all ideas, then it's just as impossible to explain why different minds have a coherent shared illusion of the physical world, or even any kind of communication between minds at all. I think it's much easier to reject the concept of consciousness in a materialist world view than it is to reject the inexplicably shared physical world in an idealist world view.

Of course, there is the simple and self-coherent answer of solipsism, but that's a kind of an intellectual dead end, there's nothing really to discuss about it.
You're making no sense. Functional programming is more than just "about functions".

DOM APIs are the embodiment of 90s-era OOP. There's literally nothing functional about them. All [1] "functions" are methods defined on very specific objects. You can't even get a proper reference to them without binding them to specific object instances

What exactly is functional about this?

const newDiv = document.createElement("div");
const newContent = document.createTextNode("Hello, world");
newDiv.appendChild(newContent);
const currentDiv = document.getElementById("div1");
document.body.insertBefore(newDiv, currentDiv);

Okay, here's an easier question. What will happen here, and why?

const function_reference = document.getElementById;
function_reference("#id");

[1] Technically speaking, not all all. The more recent `fetch` is probably the only piece of browser APIs that can be called functional for some very limited definition of functional

Most (all?) other "global" functions are defined on the instance of the window object: getComputedStyle, getSelection etc.
