Why not just keep the existing kernel running with a small team? Drivers and backwards compatibility are critical to many of Microsoft's enterprise customers.

Now that isn't necessarily true for Windows running in the cloud. Drivers don't matter as much there.

This may be more complex than using a multi-stage build. (eg, "Builder" image, pull artifacts into "Runner" image)
For people who don't get this: Google has insane internal power struggles and siloing that lead to all manner of dumb inconsistent behavior across google. It would not be unlike google for the "Play team" to have their hand in some other internal AI (or be anti-AI) and therefore carry a degree of hostilitly towards gemini.

> You should push the door. The word "push" written in mirror writing indicates that the instructions are intended for someone on the opposite side of the door from where you are standing. Since you can see the mirror writing from your side, it means the text is facing the other side, suggesting that those on the other side should push. Therefore, from your perspective, you should also push to open the door.
It's already possible to lookup the carrier of a number, and I'd love for the ability to be listed under their location on the incoming call screen. Makes a big difference if the call is coming from T-Mobile or some company you've never heard of.
Why companies put factories in states that actively go against the products they build is mind boggling.
Agreed. Planning to add that next.

Funimation is shutting down and taking your digital library with it
I have the same phone and feature. My experience is that everyone always hangs up immediately after facing the screener. I'd love to actually use this feature, I mean hell, I can fucking text responses to them and read what they say through it! But I never can in a realistic setting because people hear robot and hang up. I've been eagerly waiting Apple's release so that the feature becomes more well known. Google really dropped the ball on advertising and honestly I think should have just pushed it to all Android phones because you need to change how people interact. I've worried it would go away because Google deems it "useless" despite its uselessness being that the feature is just not known. There's just too few Pixel phones so people aren't experiencing the screener and so act like a normal human being and go "robot? Ugh, fuck that" and associate this with calling a 1 800 number.
Really, no one? Flag participation is already higher for 6 to 12-year-olds than tackle. Lots of girls participate in flag. I suspect they'll be interested in watching the sport they grew up playing. It might never be more popular than tackle, but to say no one will prefer watching it is silly.
I think that's true generally but:

- It's possible that social media changes some peoples' lives for the better. (I do have a few friends who married people they got to know on social media, and I know the good things that have happened to me because of social media outweigh the real but less significant harms.)

- It's possible that the thing one replaces social media ("replace, don't resist") with outweighs the harm they received from social media too.

- I think we're mostly trying to work with practical solutions of how to mitigate harm instead of wishing we could change the past.
Funny way to express the $65 billion of FDI that China's put into Pakistan, along with joint development of the JF-17 and 47% of China's arms exports as a whole, isn't it?

Or has the near-total cut in US military aid to Pakistan over 2018-2022 been a delayed coup de grace, and should we expect the country to implode at any minute?
Yep, wait and if a human is like "hello?", then say "Can you hear me now?"
I think a big thing about social media is having people or personalities that you follow. I don't use HN in a way where I notice who is commenting or posting and there's nobody I "follow" on this site. Every story and comment is like a new anonymous person to me.

When I was heavily into Reddit I'd use RES and get to know people so it felt more like social media. Now that I've deleted my account and sporadically read Reddit it doesn't feel like social media or something I'm addicted to.
Which founded the Israeli state with the Nakba,

Look, we all know the history. Please don't be so arrogant.

The main point is, if you were to break down the reasons why the theocratic regime in Iran really opposes Israel at every turn - as opposed to what the narratives that they're happy to let you believe, such as the above, say about these motives - you probably wouldn't be blithely repeating those narratives.
I'm not even sure Win11 is on my company roadmap, much less anything cutting edge like an insiders release. Windows 10 Enterprise compatibility is pretty much required for widespread adoption of Sudo for Windows.
It is maddening that the companies that provide the service appear to have thrown up their hands & pretend that they have no idea how they could possibly prevent spoofed numbers. Imagine if this was this easy to spoof IP #s. Perhaps it is.
Already working on it :) You can follow https://github.com/microsoft/sudo/issues/2 for updates.

Honestly, the hardest part will be porting the Settings app changes to the Windows 10 styles. `sudo.exe` itself doesn't really depend on any OS platform changes, and if it did, we'd have a _very_ compelling case to bring those features with us downlevel.

Thanks for the measured response, and I do appreciate the perspective.

I personally think that unions are a solution to many problems, but come with a set of tradeoffs and genuine issues. There I think it is unhelpful (and why I used the word patronizing) to assume that people who are not on board with unionization must either be a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" and/or the under the influence of some unseen force ("the industries").
I think the general takeaway is that for most use cases, Rust’s additional safety comes at barely any cost. In some cases the safety gains performance (in not checking thing that the compiler can assert statically), in some cases there’s a hit, but it usually ends up somewhere in the middle.

The takeaway is that Rust’s safety and maintainability generally don’t impose corresponding penalties. And in the cases they do and it’s critical, you can always punt to unsafe.
I’ve never personally been involved in this type of situation, but it seems like if the relationship is such that there is a safety issue from information potentially slipping during a phone call, maybe the court should be dealing with that communication if there is an issue with child support payments not getting made.
I'm surprised they got rid of the Bard name. It struck me as a really smart choice since a Bard is someone who said things, and it's an old/archaic enough word to not already be in a zillion other names.

Gemini, on the other hand, doesn't strike me as particularly relevant (except that perhaps it's a twin of ChatGPT?), and there are other companies with the same name. EDIT: I can see the advantage of picking a name that, like "Google" also starts with a "G".

Just as one data point, bard.com redirects to some other company (bd.com), whereas Gemini.com is a company by that name.

I'd be curious on the scuttlebutt on how this decision was reached!
Thanks for the report. Will pass on to the folks working on image gen!
Did the crackdown measure as having worked? I don't know where to look up those stats.

Yeah, "hot water" is a bit of a misnomer with Iceland. It's their heating infrastructure. In the U.S. it'd be more akin to saying "natural gas shut off in -6°C weather" or "Electricity cut off in Texas during 20°F weather" (even in the U.S. heating varies by location).

I learned of Haskell (the language) and currying (the technique) before learning of Haskell Curry (the person). So whenever I see the name "Haskell Curry", it looks like a joke name at first glance. Like "wow, someone's parents were _really into_ functional programming", or maybe, he's the counterpart to Janet Javascript and Python Pete?
We've actually done that for a few years on the Terminal repo. It's great for things like megathreads / scenarios / epics. For example, I can tell you off the top of my head that microsoft/terminal#8888 is for "quake mode", and #4000 is the extensions thread.

We even used to have a bot that would auto-camp anything that was a multiple of 1000 or 1111 :D
LLM can solve this for all tokens where it got to learn how many syllables are in that token or a combination. If you trained it to work on single letters only it would do better at that task than word chunks (same for math and single digits). It will generalise to new words if the token level knowledge is there.

Whether this means it can or cannot solve that kind of riddle is up for your interpretation. I understand square root and can calculate square root of 16, but not of 738284.7280594873. (in a reasonable, bounded time) Can I solve square roots?
The Vermilion Sands stories are definitely an acquired taste and I think Ballard did have a genuine and perverse attraction to high society (admittedly one of his own creation).

The files are copied to the Mac or PC rather than moved; the originals on the iOS device remain there.
Honestly it's wild that they publish live prices online. Can they be _that_ confident that they're under-cutting competitors all the time?
I understand the frustration with how seemingly obvious the correct answer, is, but it seems like word choice might be a factor here. The word “mirrored” is a bit less accurate and may be a red herring than perhaps “reversed” though the difference is subtle. I wonder how both Gemini and GPT would perform if the word choice for that particular aspect were changed.
Historically, Poland was both and is a transition region between central and Eastern Europe.

Even when Poland was conquered, it was still the interface between a central/western empire (Reich Germany) an eastern empire (Russia) and an in-between empire (Austria-Hungary) but I would certainly call a city like Białystok ‘eastern’, but not necessarily Warsaw, Krakow or Wrocław.

The trouble is that what counts as ‘Eastern’ Europe can be demarcated by several large historical events (Mongols, flavour of Christianity, Communism, etc) so a definitive answer is hard to give.
We are talking about ChatGPT, the single most impressive piece of software made in human history here, created by a team of geniuses. For better or for worse, it has undergone significant changes since its release. Many of those changes have been orders of magnitude more difficult than what I am asking for; furthermore, this is a relatively important problem. Is it a 10-line fix that the intern can deploy? No. Is it a very important feature that could be realistically implemented in several ways, many of which do not involve retraining the main model? Absolutely.
I obviously can't speak for @dudus, but the "fun" is a distraction. Which is not a bad thing! But you open the app with some purpose, stumble upon the feed, and then you scroll. And it's kind of fun.

I don't think anyone seriously expects Amazon's TikTok style shorts to replace TikTok. But, by the same token, I really think it's absurd to suggest that people are going to start going to TikTok to make their purchasing decisions around toilet paper and shampoo.
It's stories like these that make me glad to have grown up in a time of easily accessible pirated copies of Turbo Pascal and VB Classic.
Apple's fear of proper I/O strikes again.

Forcing customers to use a shitty JUKEBOX app to manage all the content (including applications) on a handheld Unix computer was embarrassing on day one. But after a decade... and then more... it's offensive to those customers.

Now they made the already-shambolic Windows situation even worse. It's bad enough on Mac, where the videos you shot yourself inexplicably wind up in the "TV" app now. Why the hell would you look in Apple TV for stuff you shot on your phone?
I'd also change it to `Referer`, as that is what Chrome seems to be using.

And referrer is set twice!

> censorship is more annoying

That's a general problem with AI. There is a lot of censorship in certain areas, likely to fight bad publicity, but I think the outlook is that this leads to taboos, prudeness and big companies deciding what is ethical and what isn't.

I recently tried Bard and ChatGPT on topics that are classical philosophical dilemmas and while ChatGPT certainly did have some troubles too, Bard was absolutely horrible and always took the conservative - as in never arguing for any freedoms that aren't yet widely established views. I am talking about classical examples regarding the limits of utilitarianism. "What would be best for society, what would be best for the individual?" style questions. Even when trying to create a bias by changing examples, for example adding volunteering for things Bard strictly kept its opinion, despite originally stating that the general topic is two sided, that it's an open question, etc.

I think this is a danger of such systems. By their nature they reinforce status quo, because they base off is widely accepted at the time of their inception. If history would have been different I am sure it would argue for slavery and against women being allowed to vote, simply because that used to be the more common view point. It would have likely argued that homosexuality is unethical. Maybe it would even have tried to explain how it doesn't create children, but spreads diseases or similar things. At least that's the level of arguments it brings now.

This isn't just about ethics. Even if you think about IT and programming. I think this could give already invented programming languages, styles, methodologies a significant edge. Unless you are Microsoft or Google and are able to bias it to whatever you want to see more of.

So this combined with the costs meaning that only people or institutions with significant (financial) power create those rules does look a bit bleak.

I miss the last decade when the thought experiment about self driving cars were about whom to drive over in a ridiculously unlikely scenario.
Next: systemd for windows?
I tried to parse a little of this so, FinCEN wants to know who profits off of real estate if you are a 5% equity share holder or 10% if at a director level in an organization.

Will FinCEN publish these records? It would defeat the purpose of putting a home in an llc for anonymity.

Under the proposed rule, persons involved in real estate closings and settlements would continue to be exempt from the anti-money laundering compliance program requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act. I.e. loans, banks.
Yes, I always start with the IID, but try watch for evidence that those assumptions need to change.

Too many convenient properties are lost once you lose IID to prematurely drop it.
Most hilarious was when the ICJ said this in their briefing.

I'm a huge Dan Carlin fan. I started my career as a mechanical engineer, and I have a deep appreciation for chemistry and materials science, as everything rests on that. Most of the early transistor legends were chemists after all. Hence, I wanted to go a little deeper on the technical side with this blog, focused on the here and now.
Yeah, most people hang up immediately, mission accomplished probably. Sometimes the doctors office calls and awkwardly starts leaving a full fledged message rather than just saying their name (like the bot tells them to), then, when I press the answer button the bot interrupts them and we start a normal phone call.

In fairness, it may be awkward, but it doesn't waste the caller's time, none of the robot messages are long, and people are quickly able to say their name and why they're calling.
I don’t disagree. How I think it will happen: Backwards compatibility will start to stray at Microsoft (their last bastion), leading to WINE becoming the go to tool for backwards compat support. Microsoft will create a linux variant or maybe just a DE and the rest will be history (just as Libre Office has begun to supersede MS Office). It is a matter of will and time that C-Suite will want to eliminate labor around Windows to maximize profits as it becomes more and more hardened in it’s feature set. Why maintain when you can utilize FOSS?
It is still scary to put a lot of new money in right now considering it is pretty easy to get >5% return with virtually no risk thanks to the high interest rates.
One assumes you also don't believe in rights for religious groups, political parties, unions or the press?

The reason rights apply to corporations is that rights apply to people in aggregate, as well as individually and there is no way to deny rights to the group without denying rights to the individuals within that group (also because treating corporations as legal entities makes things like suing them as entities possible. Otherwise one would have to file individual lawsuits with individual people for any claim.)

If rights only applied to individuals, then it would be trivial to suppress any political or cultural expression by making any collective gathering or expression illegal. There is no reason to consider corporations a special case in this regard.
Very few. But there's a difference between having control over the codebase where you can start to split up the monolith, adopt event-based architectures down the line, i.e. having a strategy on how to deal with the problem if and when it becomes a problem, versus tightly coupling your business logic to a vendor that is tightly coupled to Postgres and therefore your options on how to switch away will be extremely fragile and expensive at best and straight up impossible at worst.

Autodesk used to take off the week of Christmas to New Years, called it the 'week of rest' - however most of us in tech new that was far from what John would do.

When we returned from that week of analog living, John always had some new and exciting code to share (because he never stopped). Hypertext, Autoshade and Autoflix, AutoCAD Mac were some of the gifts he would showcase after the break.

It was pretty magical. It was very common for John to be at the center of anything new and exciting happening there.

He changed my life, without question.
Makes sense, impersonating people for gain and/or harm is illegal.
This is exactly what the ruling is doing. It is explicit confirmation that it was already illegal under existing law.
That is not at all what parent poster was saying.
I'm doubled down on adblockers. I use both ublock origin and filter advertisements on my network.

This is a much needed feature. Currently, we are riddled with terrible app notifications because the options are so limited.

Bring back the web as the front of the internet, and put native programs(a word I miss, by the way) back where they belong, in my control.
I'm not talking about the device btw. I am indeed talking about the TV app that comes preinstalled on Apple devices. I watch from my Macbook. The TV app is confusingly also Apple TV with a subscription service called Apple TV+

My use case is I've found that, for reasons unknown, the streaming quality is worse than if I download the episodes. Streaming always stays at 720p or lower whereas downloading gets me 1080p every time. And being able to watch things when I move around even with spotty internet
As eitally points out, your prompt leaves open the possibility that the mirror writing is on the other side of the door (which would make no sense). So technically you underspecified the prompt?
The ruling is to treat calls with AI-generated voices the same as other robocalls, which are already illegal.

How exactly do they propose to enforce this that isn't the same way they "enforce" already illegal robocalls?

I've been getting these calls where nobody says anything for like 3 minutes then someone says Hello. My paranoid mind thinks they are trying to record my voice to use AI to impersonate me.
Personally, I found the smartphone app and web experience to be waaaaaaay more addictive than desktop browsing, because the phone is always with me.

I also found I can break away from my phone, when I delete and disable all content streams. This painfully includes podcasts and Spotify, at least initially, and I also disabled Safari all together! Otherwise it won't break the habit of reaching for your phone! Screen time limitations for apps won't do, because I am still not getting the tease out of my mind.

The idea is to have the phone for communication with contacts, do-one-thing tools, navigation and personal time and information management. And nothing else. The phone should never be the place where "something happens", where you can discover and explore. It shouldn't be more on your mind than your headphones, not more exciting than a spoon. Notifications should always ever be sent either by "myself" (e.g. calendar) or by real contacts (calls and messages).

Public transport planning/navigation, synchronized calendars and encrypted messaging are the deal breakers with "stupid phones"/no phone, for me.

Sure you can still shift your pleasure seeking to the desktop, but at least your mind won't be bothered by temptation and intrusive thoughts, when you're on a walk, sitting in the bus, in the kitchen, on the toilette, ... You will have a chance to break away.

For desktop web, maybe ublock the 'next' button on websites like HN? Hide all the internet points?
