There's a better solution. Just make it so claimants have to be a real person.

There should be "know your customer" for claimaints for laws requiring companies to follow up on legal claims like DMCA reports. KYC is obviously socially accepted and easily implemented since it's being required for so many other things. The whole basis of an adversarial legal system is that you need two legal persons on either side. This is a context in which you have to wonder why it isn't already like that.

Once false reports from fake companies and people are infeasible there will be much less of a problem. All without changing the penalties.
Never dug deep into Bevy's subcrates, but does this mean you have more control from the JS side? (e.g. when I want to interlace the main loop tick with something from the JS side)

It can't. Not with realistic hardware. Have they shared how much computing power it takes to generate even a 1min video with SORA?

Regardless, I can't see it generating instant frames in response to player input like that. It's just not effective. We have way better ways to do it already.

If SORA can be used to design 3D worlds that later get used in traditional game engines, that might accelerate development.
Statistically speaking, UAE is not unsafe. Their life expectancy is on par with, let's say, the one in a G7 country.
Have you considered that disability is not always permanent? What if you were temporarily blind? Or could only see magnified or high-contrast UIs?

Would you still want to learn new workflows to be used over a few months only?

Wikipedia is documenting one view of sad puppies. Check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76xQ_49V500 for another view with more details.

This and gamergate made the public aware of politics in reviews and awards, which did help push people to look for a more group review about books. There are now tons of subreddits with each genre you can see what popular books are out.

I stopped reading the hugo collections when they started to mix sci-fi and fantasy, because fantasy has more diversity, so mixing genres pushed the diversity goal. Now lots of diversity in sci-fi books, so its not really an issue of mixing genres to accomplish a goal.

Kinda sucks that clashing of politics is included in everything, when all you want to do is a read a book. But the wikipedia article really isn't the entire truth from people watching from the outside knew what was going on. Thus they had to change the rules from block voting to stop the plebs from voting.
I'm guessing this won't be including issues & PRs from private repos, which could be substantial
I’m still shocked by the notion that a highly dense population is inherently good.

Pollution increases, energy requirements increase, crime per-capita increases, babies per-capita tend to decrease, time spent in traffic or commuting increases, space per person decreases.

I get that you get more food or entertainment options, but in general it doesn’t appear that increasing density actually improves quality of life. Though it may increase opportunity, that’s not necessarily something an existing community would be improved by.
I really hate that people glorificate ilegal activity. I'm from Mexico and now we've a big problem with Cartels, people can't work because cartels extortion them, and now they commit terrorist acts to civilian towns with dronebombs. That's not cool, but in Mexico there are also Narco corridos, that glorificates narcotrafic. It sucks, there are no place for criminal in a civilized country. They have to be hated not loved.

Again with the hand-waving. "Land is big!" is no kind of argument or evidence. It all comes down to cost and practicality. Energy is not some game, its business.

And with dropping panel cost, land is the last remaining hard nut in the equation. Not a small fraction, a large one, and becoming larger.

As for understanding math, the earth is not getting any bigger. That limit cannot be beat, no matter how breathless the rhetoric.

You are not alone here. For the past 15 years, I've been trying to figure out how this works and what license to apply to the new programming language. It seems like a strange waste of time, as with AI coming, it will be easy to bypass licenses and clone your code legally, and managers are already discussing this. I think this is the reason for the decline in the software startup market.

No, the problem is that corporate persons, having an intent which is specific, limited and legally divorced from the intent of its shareholders should not be able to inherit the individual rights of its shareholders, especially since it enjoys privileges individuals do not.

In fact, even in US law, corporations do not have all of the rights human persons have. They specially have the right to free speech as it pertains to political finance.

Corporations in the US still don't have the right to vote, they do not have general freedom of speech, specifically they have much weaker protections against compelled speech than people, they do not have fifth amendment protection against self incrimination, they do not have rights under the comity clause, they do not have freedom of religion, etc...

Indeed, in no country in the world do corporations have the rights of their shareholders or individual rights in general, not even in the US. In the US, corporations only have very specific rights, and judicial fiat determines which ones it has and which ones it doesn't based purely on political expediency (and indeed the courts flip and flop on which rights they do have as the political reality changes).
Ask HN: Seeking Realistic Code Base for Product Demo
Hello HN community,

We're prepping a product demo and need a code base that mirrors a real-world company environment. Our issue: open-source projects often lack the detailed documentation, complex issues, and rigorous coding standards found in a corporate setting.

We're looking for a repository that reflects professional coding practices, quality guidelines, and security standards. If anyone knows of resources or repositories that fit this bill, your suggestions would be invaluable.

Thanks in advance!
You ignored the comment I was responding to that referenced Somalia first and are calling me lazy.

Cool, apply the same logic to North Korea.
Have you considered that density needs to be increased not to provide you with low pollution, low crime, a short commute, food or entertainment options, but instead so that people aren’t forced to live on the street?
AI doesn’t exist. Neither in practice nor theoretically. Artificial intelligence is an oxymoron. Intelligence is a complex system. Artificial systems are logic systems. You live in a complex universe that you cannot perceive, i.e. we perceive it as noise/randomness only. All you can see are the logical systems expressed at the surface (Mendelbrot Set) of the noise. Everything you see and know is strictly logical, all knowns laws of the universe are derived from those logical systems. Hence, we can only build logical systems. Not complex systems. There is a limit to what we can build here on the surface (Church-Turing). We never have and never will build a complex system.
Pipelines (or in general terms PSOs) are the most problematic aspect of Vulkan / DX12 - much more than synchronization! Large parts of the gamedev industry seems to recognize all the performance issues with pipelines and therefore companies are experimenting with newer models like the VK_EXT_shader_object extension ("Vulkan without Pipelines": https://www.khronos.org/blog/you-can-use-vulkan-without-pipe...).

I've written a detailed comment about this before here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37843946#37845431) but for a much more comprehensive explanation by an engineer from Nintendo read the initial proposal for the VK_EXT_shader_object extension: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/blob/main/propos...).

And the slightly less-official behind-the-scenes tweet thread about the background for VK_EXT_shader_object: https://twitter.com/gfxstrand/status/1641914602756644867

There's also Casey Muratori's mail to the Vulkan advisory on 2015 that basically predicts this whole clusterfuck would happen: https://github.com/cmuratori/misc/blob/main/vulkan_dynamic_s...
No small amount either, they raised $100 million. Quite the turn.

I believe that stress is one of the cornerstones of addiction. When people can't handle stress they turn to substances. When people "grow out" of addiction, they're really either finding another addiction, or learning to manage their stress and let go of substances used to cope.

I'd love to see trials of what Ashwagandha can do for addiction, because it lowers cortisol nearly immediately and is a relatively safe herb.
I don’t care who it is, nobody is capable or ethical enough to allocate that kind of capital in a more effective way for societies benefit than it being in the hands of a billion people.

So yes, it would be better for everyone if these billionaires literally allocated 99.9% of their class a stock to millions of employees and customers (+ cash for the gift tax or lobby the usg to waive it)

They were posting in disbelief. You should read their comment again.
I didn't mean it was infeasible. I meant holding open TCP connections are avoided by choice to save battery power because transmitting wirelessly is a power drain. But also for all wireless there's a random round trip time and so exponential backoff. The longer you hold open the more likely. Almost all smart phones and their software are gimped in this way; the outliers you mention are interesting but not significant.

Yes. Sorry, that's how it goes.

If I'm running a dance competition, I should not hold the award ceremony in a country which outlaws certain types of dance, lest they arrest some of my attendees.

Similarly, if I'm running a literature competition, I shouldn't hold it in a country that outlaws certain types of literature.

This isn't about trying to change anything per se, it's just practical.
>In the 1970s, left-wing activists opposed the construction of dingbat apartments and allied with liberal homeowners to pass the Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance (NPO), which effectively finished off housing construction in the city

Short of sleazebag propaganda, there is no logic or context, historical or otherwise, that can justify describing this as "left wing." They are right wing activists by definition. I don't care what they call themselves.
Tibet, Taiwan and the countries around the South China Sea would like to have word with you.

In 2020 it was genuinely not clear what would actually happen in January 6, when the electoral college votes are officially tabulated. It was not impossible that they could have been faced with "alternate" electors from some states. That likely would have been illegal, but since that had never been tested, the interpretation of the law is up for grabs.

We have a weird multi stage counting process and only the final one is truly definitive.

> I wonder what it is relative to the Cold War.

According to this chart[0], US military spending as a percentage of GDP is pretty close to an all-time low. Sadly doesn't seem to include data covering WWII or Korea, though.

I imagine the notable peaks might be related to:

* '62 Cuban missile crisis (cold war)

* '67 Vietnam (cold war)

* '82, '86 "New Cold War"[1]

* '05, '11 Post-9/11 wars

But mostly downward after '91.

Sadly this chart (Military expenditure (% of general government expenditure)) seems to be empty, but I'm sure there's data on it somewhere.

> Also the point about external IDs and internal IDs - why can't the database/ORM do this more automatically?

It has pretty big implications for how your application code interacts with the database. Queries that involve id's will need to perform joins in order to check the external id. Inserts or updates that need to set a foreign key need to perform an extra lookup to map the external id to the correct FK value (whether it's literally a separate query or a CTE/subquery). Those are things that are way outside the realm of what EF can handle automatically, at least as it exists today.

Sorry but in authoritarian state, things don't work under "laws and regulations". Everyone is subject to 规矩, which roughly translate to "unspoken rules" or "how thing supposed to work without irritate powerful people".

You are not safe by laws and regulations alone, other people can fuck you up in many ways.

> The fallout from Chengdu has probably sunk several other future worldcon bids—and it's not as if there are a lot of teams competing for the privilege of working themselves to death: Glasgow and Seattle (2024 and 2025) both won their bidding by default because they had experienced, existing worldcon teams and nobody else could be bothered turning up. So the Ugandan worldcon bid has collapsed (and good riddance, many fans would vote NO WORLDCON in preference to a worldcon in a nation that recently passed a law making homosexuality a capital offense). The Saudi Arabian bid also withered on the vine, but took longer to finally die. They shifted their venue to Cairo in a desperate attempt to overcome Prince Bone-saw's negative PR optics, but it hit the buffers when the Egyptian authorities refused to give them the necessary permits. Then there's the Tel Aviv bid. Tel Aviv fans are lovely people, but I can't see an Israeli worldcon being possible in the foreseeable future (too many genocide cooties right now). Don't ask about Kiev (before February 2022 they were considering bidding for the Eurocon). And in the USA, the prognosis for successful Texas and Florida worldcon bids are poor (book banning does not go down well with SF fans).

> Beyond Seattle in 2025, the sole bid standing for 2026 (now the Saudi bid has died) is Los Angeles. Tel Aviv is still bidding for 2027, but fat chance: Uganda is/was targeting 2028, and there was some talk of a Texas bid in 2029 (all these are speculative bids and highly unlikely to happen in my opinion). I am also aware of a bid for a second Dublin worldcon (they've got a shiny new conference centre), targeting 2029 or 2030. There may be another Glasgow or London bid in the mid-30s, too. But other than that? I'm too out of touch with current worldcon politics to say, other than, watch this space (but don't buy the popcorn from the concession stand, it's burned and bitter).
The conference is in person, right? What technology will solve the police showing up with guns to arrest the participants?
You are likely correct.

This is because the Bay Area is a highly desirable place to live and will continue to get more so as climate change gets worse but the Bay Area stays gorgeous.

Crime is a problem to solve in any Western urban area and is particularly bad here now. Congestion is another problem to solve.

Manhattan has solved both to a degree. I’d imagine we can too.
Just checked my states laws. Underglow lights aren’t illegal, and also I can get them installed directly from the manufacturer.
I'm not as optimistic as Darrell. I think the city will manage to pass a strict demolition ordinance at the same time as the general upzoning, nullifying the practical effect.
Unfortunately, no. It requires something with a little more kick.

And yet, still dramatically worse off than if they had decide to "change the world" by funding access to clean water in rural India / Africa, or something along those lines.
I thought maybe I was just too dumb, but looking back, the lack of coherence or structure definitely contributed to not forming a clear model of everything he wrote.
I don't follow. Isn't this the flow for practically every neutral network i.e you index the sampled inputs from the embedding Matrix, forward this through every hidden layer and then finally transform to the dimensions of your tokens so that it can be interpreted as log-counts?
i think the "mock 3d" stuff was ultimately inspired by NextStep (1988), although they did it in a classier way than Windows, Motif, or the Mac (either in the late classic (8 or 9) or OSX)
Isn't this the typical representation we used back then when working with LSTMs?
Every single piece of nuclear ordinance goes through that area. There are likely hundreds of near functional nuclear warheads under maintenance at any moment.

They're a larger nuclear power than China, England, France, or any country other than Russia and the US. What they don't have are delivery systems.
There is still no need to prop up their oil dictatorships with billions in chip investments.
For each company you should ideally include some context that helps understand what you did there - more than just your job title (job titles convey very little information).

This isn't a great example, but I mean things like "Lead the architectural design of the new search and recommendations features, built on top of Elasticsearch and PostgreSQL."
Fair point. I'm not used to being forced to use particular tools so I didn't think of that.

What does that mean exactly? What's the line for simply doing, or underdoing, the censorship?
The key thing is not to delete all your posts but overwrite a couple of times (to bust their cache). And then leave the account active with no real posts. There’s a few projects that will do this.
