Yeah, I forgot all about these kinds of games. I used to play something similar on Android, where you used your finger, so it was more game-ish, but it was a great mobile game. Anything like this for iOS?

Seems like there could be more to the story.. perhaps an alternate explanation than scrap value. a giant steel frame for an antenna would have scrap value, but relatively not that much. For a lot less hassle and more money you could grab a couple semi trailers and cut them up, they are usually just laying around unhooked.

Then again I guess meth heads aren’t masters of cost benefit analysis
Great mascot choice!
The issue isn't devices like the Flipper Zero as much as the weak standards of security (and perceived obscurity) being used to not use actual security to secure cars.

Auto manufacturers could .. create more secure devices for cars. Of course existing vehicles are a different problem. That was avoidable to some degree.
Same! (CS 61A Fall Semester 1996) And I agree!
Arguably those compensations are what's absurd.
I also think the way you posed the question is pretty weird and actively invites misinterpretation. If I approach a glass door and see mirrored text, that's not "mirror writing"—it's regular writing for people on the other side of the door. "Mirror writing" strongly implies that the text was written in mirrored form, rather than its mirrored-ness being a side effect of viewing it from "behind".

The inconsistency in the answers you posted is more concerning than the "inaccuracy", but we already know LLMs are prone to hallucinate when they should be asking for clarification.
Sure, but that's a lot of effort. And if you want to copy your streams illegally or pirate duplicates you can do that too, which also involves effort.

I'm just making the point that after 10 or 20 years, most people either no longer have most of the media they bought, it's degraded, they're upgrading from VHS to DVDs to Blu-Rays or similar, or they never touch it again anyways. Not true with all of it, but probably most of it. So there's already a kind of expectation that consumer media usually only lasts for a time period anyways -- yes, unless you're doing fancy things like climate control and making copies.
UK knife law allows you to carry non-locking pocket knives with a blade length up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) without any need for a valid reason.

Yes, it's regulated - but it's not what you claim it to be.

I read the summary. It was worthless. Summaries, like abstract, exist to present results not promise results if read further. I got nothing from reading the summary. I didn't waste my time reading the rest of the article.
I used them to extract data from relatively unstructured reports into structured csv format. For privacy/gdpr reasons it was not something I could use an online model for. Saved me from a lot of manual work, and it did not hallucinate stuff as far as I could see.
LOL. Inspire is nothing close to inspiring. Additionally, if Amazon was doing so well, it would not have struck such a lucrative deal with Tiktok to push Amazon product content on Tiktok platform.

Ban carrying them. If it's truly an educational tool you don't need to carry it around with you. Same as (in the UK) carrying a set of lockpicks is grounds to be arrested for 'going equipped' unless you're a locksmith.
This is one of those issues that I really see both sides of. I think it's unreasonable to expect a company to be able to provide the ability to download content you bought once in perpetuity. Because it costs money, and companies shut down etc...

Where it gets dicey is if the removal of availability of an item means you can no longer consume it even if you already have it downloaded. That's where regulation should come in.

I just don't think it's tenable to have a regulation that says "If you're a company that sells digital goods with copy protection, you must always keep those goods available for download in perpetuity"

Google took 11 months to catch up with the benefit of knowing the specifics behind how GPT-4 was built. While they have a moat with their products there's no sign that they're ever going to be ahead on the AI capabilities front. I hope to be wrong because we need more competition.

I would say: when the existing offerings completely prevent you from doing what you want to do, or require ugly workarounds that are not consistent with your goals, or when future changes in those dependencies might compel you to do extra work just to keep your own system running.

One more reason to start from scratch: to get the functionality you want from an existing offering, you would also have to include a lot of other stuff you don't need, resulting in unnecessary complexity and resource consumption.
My grandfather wrote something one could only describe as a manifesto while he was in prison in the 1930's for moonshining, which he was doing to save the family farm during the depression. He sighted Spinoza multiple times which is when I first discovered Spinoza. He included it in his memoir and it really influenced me in a lot of ways. So, thanks to the poster for throwing this up.

I am really missing out on the Elixir hype. And Phoenix has liveview, so the htmx hype gets multiplied with the Elixir hype?

This article provides a huge list of things you have to know for web dev. Certainly not all of them a required. And of the ones you will have to know to accomplish your task, you'll still have to learn the Elixir flavor of it.

My current job is rewriting what is basically a crud elixir app in python for a company. I'm not completely sure their reasons wanting it re-written, but they're spending money to do it, so they must have some justification. I have heard them mention difficulty in finding people to work on their existing codebase. A lot of companies they just want fungible (and cheap) programmers (like me).

I've really only bothered to learn enough elixir to reverse engineer the existing app for reference. I have no idea what good elixir looks like, and it could be that this is just bad elixir. Completely subjective, but it's not easy to follow. I had to work through some code where a bunch of functions were piped together, but all these functions were defined multiple times with different args (pattern matching on arguments). It seems like a strange way to do flow control within a pipeline, because the logic seems to really be spread around.

Maybe I have to sit down and write something from scratch to appreciate it.

Vivaldi is great on paper (if you don't care about it being F/OSS), but it's wildly unstable compared to all other major browsers including Firefox. Every time I try to use it as a primary, I end up running into something blocking within a week, reporting it, and switching back to whatever.

Which is a shame, because, stability aside, it really is the best option among Blink-based browsers, at least for the power user. No containers, sadly, but the problem there is Blink itself.

One of the things I like about Brave (it's been my daily driver for years now) is that it lets me give the gift of The Internet I Experience to non-technical folks like my mom.

Most people are just... inundated with ads. Try using a stock Chrome with no ad blockers for just a day. It's absolutely miserable. But every time you add another "setup" step you add potential breakage.

Now, I can just give someone Brave and they can have the same experience most of us do on HN!

> until outside nations supported violent overthrow of a democratically elected government which followed its rise to power with oppression of an ethnic group.

The trouble with this narrative is that it's fictional and not supported by facts. It is no different from Hitler's delusions about global Jewish conspiracy against the Germans. One can subscribe to these narratives only if they accept known falsehoods as the truth and reject many facts as lies.

Even rhetorically, arguments like the oppression of ethnic Russians in Ukraine are preposterous given how Russia has become one of the most oppressive places on the planet. Such allegations sound like Hitler justifying the bombing of London with the way the English treated the Scots or the Irish - while turning a blind eye to the Holocaust going on at home.

Is it a straightforward download? I've never used any of these "digital copy" codes but I always assumed they let you stream it on a closed platform rather than just giving you a DRM-free file you can do whatever with. Seems like this would be way less problematic if they offered a full download for a limited time.

The real digital copy is on the disk itself, for those with an optical drive and a few minutes to search the web for appropriate software...

Totally tangential, but I absolutely despise logic teasers of this kind.

First of all, they are so completely divorced from patterns of culturally conditioned human reasoning as to make them come off completely absurd (most people reason about their food preferences using a logic of tastes, not syllables in a word).

The game is less about logic and more about ignoring message contents, moving up a level, and treating the text as data without any legitimate evidence that you are justified in doing so. This is not a logic problem, it's a "guess the register shift/meta language" problem. The problem is about noticing that the question is not about the message content but about the structure of the message itself, and requires a bold leap. In real life justifying the conclusion would actually require a very sophisticated inference that allowed you to rule out the much more common application of a logic of tastes or cultural codes completely.
not sure but there should be some kindaa threshold!
Is it even possible to use a flipper zero to steal a car? I thought modern cars have rotating keys which would prevent a replay attack unless you had access to the fob long enough to figure out the seed in which case you may as well just use the key to open the car.

They steal cars by either breaking a window or by getting to the CAN bus through the bumper and hijacking the car by programming a new key using the car's VIN. Ban Toyota and Honda from selling cars with shitty security if you want to do anything about this problem without having to ask the police to be useful.

Maybe we should be given a lifetime "license" for the digital goods we buy. For example, if I bought a digital copy of a game or a movie and the company went out of business, I would be allowed to obtain and use a bootleg copy.

I was going to say. More recent blurays seem harder to rip ( which I do for my own personal library ). MakeMKV sadly is no longer enough for those. My only solace is that I am not a quality snob and DVDs are sufficient 9/10. Still, it feels like the actual battle is being lost.

IE had better CSS support, as well, and JS scripting was more powerful (ironic, given that JS was originally a Netscape thing).

I would say that the turning point was when HTML 4 adopted a lot of things based on the way IE did them rather than Netscape (e.g. <div> + CSS rather than <layer> etc). By IE5, if you were on Windows, you pretty much had to be a die-hard Netscape fan to keep using it.
I've been using Rails since 2007 I'm familiar with what it was like back then.

I'm talking about 2024. I have a large tolerance for risk, and I'd be a risk taker for my own new projects or for a very early startup. Or if a tech offered something significantly new and better than the alternatives, like Rails did in 2007 vs PHP.

But now that I'm older, and I value getting things in front of customers with the minimum amount of bullshit. I'm not seeking out learning some fun tech purely for highs of a good fancy new language/framework (I've done that enough). I'd rather not chase down framework bugs. I want to google a bug and see 5 other people already had it.
> The random addresses are indistinguishable from real iCloud.com email addresses, there’s no naming convention a website can reject.

That's not remotely true.

The very very very vast majority of actual iCloud email addresses are going to have "dictionary" names. It's quite trivial to detect a randomized address (and at that point, you probably don't even care about a couple of false positives).

Multiple instances of letter-number-letter-number ("b2y4r")? Coupled with letter combinations that don't exist in most languages ("ytbn")? And no dictionary words ("john", "smith", "booklover")? Random address.

Now, whether you care to do business with someone who detects this is a different question altogether.

But they are absolutely distinguishable.
