In a post DMA world they are forcing themselves to do business with Epic.

Their restrictions are the only reason why Epic can do what they are doing. If a developer account was not necessary to publish anything on iOS no one would care.

Tim Sweeney can (or hopes he can) get away with it because the DMA really doesn't care about feeling and limits the contractual freedom of the gatekeeper (aka Apple) at least in the spirit and quite likely also in the letter of the law after this goes to court (or if Apple folds of course)
That was his original inspiration but he has matured far beyond that.

Dunno. The argument is usually that capitalists and the ruling class cooperate to the detriment of the other classes.
They included an example fact that exposes how the current actions are different from equivalent long preexisting behavior, and so that difference does require an explanation.

Presuming this, I can see distance between dominant and recessive fascism. Elements of recessive fascism can be whittled down - if enough of society is conscientious.

Well, first of all I don't actually think there is? It's clear that the 737 MAX is a particularly problematic design, but industry-wide incidents and accidents vs distance flown continue to fall, and have for decades; even _absolute_ numbers of deaths are falling, despite vastly more planes in the air.

As to the problems with Boeing in particular, they mostly look like cost-cutting and short-termism; the 737 MAX, for instance, is transparently an attempt to squeeze a few more years out of an ancient no-longer-fit-for-purpose design. And the decisions that lead to that were probably made more like _20_ years ago; Boeing should have started developing the 737 replacement quite a while ago. This would suggest that Boeing has poor leadership.

(You could also argue that some of it's the unfortunate reality of the markets; the markets _might_ punish Boeing for making necessary investments with very long pay-off times.)
If you use the version somebody else here mentioned, “move 90% of the way to the destination in 80ms”, does that make more sense? (I think it’s equivalent, just a change of units.)
I read somewhere that they're considering abandoning the ISS in the future and "deorbiting it". Is this for real?

If yes, wouldn't it be possible to move it to a higher, safe orbit instead? Maybe even taking it to Moon's orbit?

Because the state (eh) of State-owned or state-adjacent anything, in modern Britain, is simply terrible. The dominant Thatcherite ideology ensures that state-provided services are almost invariably second-rate, thanks to systemic under-funding.

In this case, it looks like Jisc was basically turned into a charity in 2011, so technically they're not even state-owned anymore.

That depends strongly on the country and shows. Some countries had original anime, some had Westernized anime like Heidi and other WMT-series. Some had localized original anime, and people didn't know they came from Japan. France for example had a very original experience of Anime from the beginning, while others started decades later with the late 90s boom of Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball.
For the most part this post was easy to read, and I could feel the collective excitement of the team. I came away feeling like I'd learned something and ready to try it myself. The only time the post gets a little fuzzy is "...store the quantized parameters in a selectable data type, where that storage data type is the same data type as the “computation type” of the mode". I assume "selectable datatype" is the float size of the quantization?
Agreed. Sure, you can expand it with PACELC, but the important part is that you have something which starts the conversation/thinking about the fact that distributed systems have specific requirements and challenges. And CAP is sufficient for that.
Its always kind of funny to me that people call Musk unstable. He had the same 2 jobs for decades now. He does these jobs and works on them insane hours. He is successful in the things he does. Other then people not liking his opinion, he isn't really unstable in any meaningful way. People just prefer to call him crazy and unstable because then anything he says doesn't have to be taken seriously.

Of course he is often wrong about things, and has bad takes. And he can get angry and competitive. He is pretty petty. But if that makes somebody mentally unstable there are a lot of unstable people around.
People are using “allowlist” and “denylist” now even though the original words didn’t necessarily have racial connotations.

We allow people to poison themselves with narcotics. We are legalizing this more and more knowing it's poison. The argument is people can make their own determination --but here the argument is whole countries can't make a determination?

We, the US, allow things to be imported to the US which are banned in The EU too. We ban but sell to them things they don't ban. It's up to each jurisdiction to make their own determination. All countries have access to the toxicity information on things they import and can do what they want with that information.
I quit my software engineer job while my blog was earning a full-time income. In a few months after I quit my job, the Google Updates decimated my blog and i was left with no earnings.

With the knowledge of blogging and understanding the needs of the blogger, I finally built this add-on.

I'm looking to get more users soon to sustain my full-time solopreneur journey instead of going to 9-5 again.

He should add AI to his site!

Not really - the site is great as-is and there's nothing wrong with this approach. It looks like it works really well for Mr. 61.

But I'd imagine it'd be pretty helpful to write tools to help with maintaining the site which do leverage LLM models. Do a combination of search + AI to rewrite + reviewing the individual edits (e.g. through selective git adds). That's actually a plus in favor of flat files - it's all just code and the tools are plentiful. It's very "Unix" and hacker friendly.

I'm imagining a tool like https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider (which I haven't tried yet, but it looks useful for this kind of effort).
Fortnite's annual revenue was $6 billion last year. Assume operating an app store costs $10 million/year/platform they only need to sell $30 million of Fortnite to break even relative to the world where they're giving Apple 30% of their profits. They're not "competing" with Steam they're doing in-house publishing, which likely saves tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars which would otherwise be free profit for Apple.
The reason why we are having this sort of strange phenomena is because equality and equity movements don't just aim for equality in general. Rather, they aim for equality when it comes to the "right" to further the industrial-capitalistic machine. Have you ever heard of an equality activist demanding that everyone get the right to live sustainably? I haven't.

Instead you get demands for the right to sit on boards, be CEOs, join the military (to defend private property and resources), become professors, etc. In other words, the fight for equality is really the fight for everyone to have the right to destroy the planet and grease the wheels of consumerism.

> However, the first detected unauthorised access to our network was identified at the Terminal Services server. This terminal server had been installed in February 2020 to facilitate efficient access for trusted external partners and internal IT administrators, as a replacement for the previous remote access system, which had been assessed as being insufficiently secure. Remote usage
expanded during the subsequent Covid-19 pandemic because of the greatly increased requirement for remote working and the range of IT projects being undertaken with third party support.

While I'm certain they are underfunded and overworked, this sounds like they had an internet accessible terminal server. I'd like to imagine IT screaming this is a bad idea but a suit somewhere saying they needed easy access for partners. I can only imagine how insecure the solution they replaced with this one was.
I mean... if it was me:

1) I know Rust, not Go (esbuild is written in go-lang)

2) I don't have to worry as much about breaking Rollup, and I'm not nearly as confident in my ability to write performant JS as I am in writing performant Rust.
Yeah, with various poisons that will mess up some and kill others, and who knows what are long term consequences on genome. Not that great of an achievement if you ask me, since we know better, but its not as price efficient.
You’re not really answering the question I’m asking though.

I am not asking whether TOS <> Laws or not. That is perhaps one step beyond what I’m asking.

I’m asking whether the Laws under the DMA have any mention in either direction on whether the gatekeepers have the ability to set (reasonable) terms and act against violation of those terms. Or is that undefined?
It's a government with huge civil service infrastructure. The people involved with Brexit and Rwanda miles away from this stuff. Willing to bet that in your counterfactual world lacking Brexit and Rwanda (and let's throw in, say, a Labour government), this would still not have been financed.

Dyslexia strikes again
I think this is the trick. Animations as a visual tool for teaching the outcomes of complex behaviors are a very valid usage of animation. There’s that one site that pops up on here occasionally with the fabulous educational topics and tons of animations to relate concepts that I think really drives that point home.

Minimizing animations are nice for showing you where things “went” when you minimize them. But apart from that, most other UI annimations are just eye candy.
Source on "Morocco is preparing a major import hub through the Canary Islands, which is expected to "un-label" the source of products, I guess."?

The legislation is pretty clear imho. Raw food needs to be labelled when it comes to the origin. Even processed food needs to state the origin of their main ingredient.

Good point on moroccan stuff, will try to avoid it in the future.
Yes, but this seems to be convoluting two distinct problems.

one is how to handle user inputs to a camera/world with inertia while moving whith a lot more variables to set for a certain desired feel, (why no long taps/mousedown to speed up the movement).

While the button is just easing a fixed animation between two states with no intermediate input.

Also what happens to the binary state of the app if the animation can be reversed before reaching final state, this is opening a can of worms for no obvious reason.
The listed trips are pretty long trips with sleepers. Amtrak would probably be in the same ballpark for similar trips in the US.
The fuel needed to get two small capsules to the moon is expensive, since you start on earth. The fuel required for all of the ISS is way too much.

Also, if you pick a random place on earth, there are no humans there. You might find roads, mostly, it is water, and if not, the only sign of humand life is most likely roads, or nothing at all. I do not recall who used google earth to test this, and of course, a large scatter area for debris would alter this probability equation.
So long as the Russian decision makers believe they will be hit with nukes if they use nukes themselves, it doesn't matter precisely which target — the point of MAD is a deterrent that prevents the nukes getting used in the first place.

If the decision makers think "we can use as many nukes as we want because we have a huge stockpile and can level anyone who even tries to respond in kind", we're already on borrowed time.
I like how you think about social media.
The actual title of the article is quite dishonest:

> Europe shipping banned pesticide linked to child brain damage to Global South

As if the whole continent packs up these pesticides and sends them southwards.

Later they clarify:

>Almost all of Europe’s 2022 exports of the chemical – sent from Belgium and Denmark by the multinational pesticide companies UPL and FMC

But i guess the proper headline of "US and Indian multinationals export pesticides from Belgium and Denmark" is less sensationalist.
What belies this is the fact that they do this differently for the specific intersection of the EU and the app store than they do for any of the many other long standing geofenced functions.
Quite by chance, the other day I learned something about why variable stars are variable: it is (at least in many common cases) a consequence of a feedback loop in which temperature-dependent changes to the radiative opacity of internal layers of the star influences the heat flow through it, which in turn affects the temperature.

Europe sometimes opts for not providing seriously harmful products - like the pharmaceuticals used for executions in the US.

The problem here is not simply food security, but the fact is that herds represented the capital those rural mongolian held, and now it's gone.
I have never lived in Bombay, but my parents grew up there, and our family history there goes back to before it was even a city. Indians have an insatiable appetite for centralized economic planning that has done nothing but hurt the country. For me, it's inexplicable, but it's often like trying to talk at a wall. It makes American NIMBY's look like transit advocates.

And for all the fascination with bureaucracy, the bureaucracy is never efficient. My aunts and uncles who landlorded there for a while had so much trouble evicting tenants for things that would be trivial in America, such as failure to pay. Courts, municipal officials, just drag their feet. It's a cultural problem, and shocks the American conscience.

Such a sad squandering of potential and a good case study in how culture absolutely affects outcomes.

Not even remotely possible in a practical sense, for so many reasons. Summed up by it wasn't designed for it. Radiation, fuel consumption required for the delta V, supply vehicle capabilities, generation of space debris, regulatory compliance, design lifetime, etc.

Thanks! I swear I put that direct link on the submission, maybe it got striped.
You should maybe consider searching some statistics on the topic ...
The models behind these products, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Inflection-2.5 are ostensibly completely separate models, trained independently. It is hard enough to get the same model to produce the same result twice at temp>0, so it’s pretty suprising that two separate models would give the same result word for word, at such length!
I can't begin to tell you how bad and annoying the software is in my 2015 Honda Odyssey.

Honda... I'm at about 98% of the straws of the camel's back on deciding why I should never contribute to Honda's business as a customer, ever again.

It's as though Honda never tested this vehicle nor drove it for a few days. Nor drove it until things started breaking and software made stupid decisions.

- Sliding door doesn't work? Oh! Guess what-- Now you can't open the gas cap because the software can't communicate with the sliding door! Yay! We'll just take extra special care not to let our software let you open the gas cap... we don't want that non-responsive sliding door to accidentally hit it. And you, customer? You're too dumb to do that on your own, we'll be your nanny.

- Oh, you installed a rear cargo trailer? Sorry! You'll just have to endure the loud constant warning-beep on reverse! And no-- we'll provide no way of turning that off :) Because we care so much about your convenience and comfort. And no-- Don't expect us to ever expect you might install anything our rear view camera warning-beep-system might detect, on your back trailer hitch. No one ever installs things on the rear side of the vehicle, duh! ...The customer is stupid, Not us, the car manufacturer! We'll make extra special care to be extremely stupid to ensure you can never be quite as stupid as extremely stupid!

Perhaps they discovered all the bugs and threw their hands up because of operations/finance/sales/marketing deadlines, and said "Haha... screw it. Just sell it. To hell with the customer!"
Akira Toriyama has passed away but his legacy will live on
I don't find this position particularly helpful, unless you're talking to someone who takes CAP literally as a law and picks only 2. That's never been the case in discussions I've had.

It's still extremely useful as a mental model for tradeoffs in designing a system.

All it's telling you is there's a pendulum from availability to consistency and generally. The more you want of one, generally the less you get of the other, so choose the amounts you want of each deliberately.

People take things too literally and seriously. Has anyone in their company really argued that, "we should choose availability instead of consistency"? It's way more nuanced than that, and as far as I know, everyone knows that

OpenAI, Inc. (the nonprofit) could have partnered with Microsoft directly.

To be fair, maybe Microsoft may have required that certain code be kept secret in a way that OpenAI's charitable purpose would not have allowed. However, that would just suggest that the deal was not open and not in the best interests of the charity.

Moreover, I'm skeptical that OpenAI Global LLC paid fair market value to OpenAI, Inc. for the assets it received. Sure, the GPT-2 itself was open sourced, but a lot of the value of the business lied in other things: all of the datasets that were used, the history of training, what worked and what didn't work, the accessory utilities, emails, documents / memos, the brand, etc. The staff is a little tricky, because - sure - they are ostensibly free to leave, but there's no doubt there's a ton of value in the staff.

If OpenAI, Inc. (non-profit) put itself on the open market with the proceeds to go to another charity, what do you think Microsoft would have paid to buy the business? I bet it would have been a lot more than OpenAI Global LLC paid to OpenAI, Inc for the same assets...

Aren’t many insect larvae are not bad for you containing proteins, fats, and other beneficial nutrients?

So as long as the potato isn’t rotted you wouldn’t even have to remove it.

Biggest risk might be, ironically, if the insect contained pesticides.
My first thought was The Structure of Scientific Revolution. CAP was a very useful theory on top of which years of research were done until the paradigm was broken and replaced. That's how progress works. It doesn't mean CAP was a scam it was our very good first draft at formalizing distributed database theory. And the fact that we still talk about it is proof of that.
No worries. I took it as a genuine question.

The settings control how the card interacts with the sleep signal. The default behavior for Nvidia is to do nothing which results in memory corruption when the computer wakes up again.

If you never put your computer to sleep, it'll never get that sleep signal so there's no real issue.

I'm not sure if I trust hibernation though, I've not tried it. Sleep has been just fine and doesn't eat too much power (like 5 watts for my desktop)
To combat ‘violent extremism’ you apparently recommend the following:

‘No E2E Encryption
When content is end-to-end encrypted, platforms can offer no content-based protections.
Since violent extremism is typically illegal, recording traces to help identify it's origin may reduce its prevalence.

Save Extensive Metadata
Recording extensive metadata about sensitive activity can reduce criminal appeal.

Anonymous Limitations
Require users to create an account before they can use features that create data or interact with others.’

All of this strikes me as extremely dystopian. Increasing and strengthening the panopticon is authoritarian to the core.

I have deep misgivings about people who are interested in strangling the anonymity of the web in the interest of a ‘safer world.’
If your decision between Consistency and Availability has business implications, you definitely aren't making this "really complicated" but rather a business logic to adhere to.

Failing to understand the implications of one over the other is often sign of immature architecture.

> It's a website with nice UI...

I don't like dumping on earnest Show HNs, but I have such a strong reaction to sites that just think "oh, it just needs a rebrand to a 'modern' UI". Look, lots of unnecessary whitespace! Borders with rounded corners! And all this ends up doing is making the site much less usable (much harder to scan headlines as you point out) for some abstract notion of "prettiness".

Folks should understand that HN's simplicity and information density is a feature, not a big. I've seen lots of sites ruin themselves (cough cough Slashdot cough...) for the sake of some unnecessary redesign.
