Rate of inflation is going down, not up. 3.4% in 2023 vs 6.5 % in 2022 (https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-infl...). The target inflation rate is between 2-3%, so 2023 was pretty close to the target rate.

People forget the time that Thomas Midgely Jr, you know, the leaded gas guy (which was only superior to ethanol enriched like we do nowadays, which was 100% viable back then, in that it made gas companies more profit) explicitly poured TEL (the leaded additive) all over his hands and smelled its vapors to "prove" it was safe. He literally suffered lead poisoning from this event and working on the product in general. He knew it was harming people and still did the public PR stunt.

Execs will 100% do the dangerous thing to make more money even if it puts themselves in immediate danger. Execs rarely have a well developed understanding of risk, and will happily take an 80% risk with the downside being dying.

macOS does precisely that. Open a Chrome window and put a Finder window over it, then move your mouse and do a scroll gesture - the target will always be whatever is below the mouse cursor at that moment, even if you don't actively select the window.

Nothing really particular to Australia, the same happens in many other places.
It does matter, because they are inputs into other processes, and the signal to noise has gone down. There’ll be a lot more time wasted in orgs triaging non-security-relevant bugs in the future.

This article does a good job explaining the Linux kernel position on cves: https://lwn.net/Articles/961978/

The relevant part:

> Kroah-Hartman put up a slide showing possible "fixes" for CVE numbers. The first, "ignore them", is more-or-less what is happening today. The next, option, "burn them down", could be brought about by requesting a CVE number for every patch applied to the kernel.

They intend to burn down the cve system, and complaining about it is not a plan to stop it.

For me, personally, Copilot is the best because you are typing and it is just suggesting. Very often I type something, wait 2 seconds for its answer (knowing it is going to get it right 80% of the time) and press tab. Sure, it misses a ton, but I see it as a great autocorrect that is always there trying to help. Now, copilot chat and everything else are very bad. I don't like them.

If you are "intentional" I usually just use ChatGPT-4 directly. I've had a super pleasant experience with Cursor, too. You can just open Cursor and say "write readme for me", it will scan your project and right a decent readme. It is also eeeeextremely goooood at "I need to know where in the codebase is doing this" and it finds. But for day to day I still prefer chatgpt 4.

So I would say:

- If you want a nice autocorrect, copilot

- If you want something that knows your project and tries to help, cursor

- If you just want something smart, chatgpt with gpt-4.

I would say copilot lets me be 15% faster daily, and gpt-4 about 30% faster (when I need it), but I need it less often - maybe twice per day.

The DMA requires that companies like Apple provide fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory access for competition.

The account is really neither here nor there, it's only an issue because Apple has chosen to make it a requirement to distribute an app marketplace. It's pretty clear that they can't legally freeze out Epic as a competitor, but how they solve that is up to them.
If the public doesn’t trust the organization that controls the nuclear waste, they will stand in the way of new nuclear plants.

Like I said, take a look at Indian Point. There was an uproar about releasing the nuclear waste into the river (on an accelerated timeline), an action which is now prohibited by law.

As a result, there are holding tanks full of radioactive water that no one knows what to do with and that pose a greater threat should they leak. There is public distrust for the company decommissioning the plant, and they are severely hamstrung (how _do_ they get that waste out of there when they can’t transport it anywhere?).

I should note, I’m not really looking to argue state vs non-state ownership. I’m saying that someone needs some real solutions to these types of problems before nuclear could be built at scale.
The issue with local IMO is that you'll going to have to compromise on quality. And I really don't want to waste my time talking with inferior models when better models are widely available.
Tesla should just implement support for passkeys. Since WebAuthn credentials are bound to the domain they are created for, they are strongly phishing resistant.

If you could login to the Tesla app with a passkey instead of password + TOTP, then a fake phishing site (on a different domain) would be unable able to steal people's Tesla account credentials.
That's good to hear. Let's hope a whistleblower would step up then, because it looks an awful lot like retaliation.
I hadn't explicitly asked that, but that is what I've been curious about too, as in are these, currently, good enough. Which is why I wanted to start with whichever is the best, again currently, rather than bang my head against ones that are not good.

I had tried a simple experiment to generate some basic Go REST service, XML parsing code, using Bard and ChatGPT and they were actually not bad. But, that was a very simple and new code.

You can easily rate-limit an authentication attempt, to make brute-forcing account access practically impossible, even for a relatively insecure passwords.

How would you do that for the URLs? 5 requests to site.com/[256chars] which all 404 block your IP because you don't have a real link? I guess the security is relying on the fact that only a very a small percentage of the total possible links would be used? Though the likelihood of randomly guessing a link is the same as the % of addressable links used.
> copyright, which is applied by default if you say nothing

But does not allow reuse. So it's irrelevant to a discussion of what to do if you do want to allow reuse.

> you can already sue people for using it or claiming it as theirs, and just choose not to

But that puts anyone who wants to reuse your content in good faith at the mercy of your whim about whether or not to sue them. That is not a good basis for facilitating reuse.

> this whole change feels self-defeating to me

Meaning, fixing the attribution clauses in CC so that people have a reasonable time to cure violations before the $150K lawsuit threat? I don't see how that makes CC licenses any more or less "toothless" than they were before. It increases the difficulty of copyleft trolling, which was what it was intended to do. Yes, it means a 30 day delay after you give notice before you can sue someone for violating your license--but anyone who fixes the violation within 30 days of you giving them notice is not someone you want to sue anyway, because they're a good faith user.

If we're talking about individuals or small businesses, what makes any license toothless in our current legal environment is the cost of a lawsuit. If you're an individual or small business and large corporation X reuses your content without meeting the terms of your license, whether it's the original CC or the current one, and refuses to fix the violation (presumably because it would be bad for their business), you're basically SOL anyway: you will run out of money to keep a lawsuit going long before corporation X runs out of legal devices to delay or obstruct you. No amount of rejiggering of a license is going to change that. Nor, for that matter, will not giving any license and relying on copyright law: you're still in the same position.

Bringing up the Chinese government card is weird in this specific fight.

I don’t see how. That sensor is only 6K and the global shutter makes no practical difference compared to Nikons “very fast” shutter.

The Sony camera can only record up to 4K in-body, and only with h.265 or similar formats up to 10 bit.

The Nikon can record full-frame RAW with 12-bit log, which is far more useful for colorists to work with than anything the Sony can record.

Even the Nikon DX crop mode has more pixels and more HDR range than the Sony!

Well, yes, but more slowly than in 2022. No one said inflation was zero, only that it's back to a more manageable level.
If you reside within the EEA, yes. However, given the "wink wink", the answer might be no.

Meta is requiring that people reside within the EEA, not just are someone who is an EU citizen. They're requiring integrating services to give them the IP addresses of users and for the integrating service to confirm that you're within the EEA at least once in any 60 day period. If Meta thinks you're violating that as a user, they'll cut you off from the integration. If they think the integrating service is just violating it, they'll cut off the integrating service.

It looks like Meta might be requiring as much identifying information about you as they can get so it will probably be relatively easy for Meta to figure out who is cheating.

But if you're not trying to cheat, then yes you'd be able to message US WhatsApp users from a non-WhatsApp account in the EU.
this reads as if they can for 60 consecutive days and on day 61 they'd be disconnected from interoperable messaging
You can definitely pass JWT as a query param (and often are in embedded scenarios) and no its not the same as logging passwords unless you literally place the password in the payload (which would be stupid).
Software dev is one of those careers where top performers earn a lot of money, so IMO a tool that generates higher quality code is a no brainer, even if it's 'expensive'. Similarly to a Bloomberg terminal if you are in IB (those things are $25k/mo).

The article's claim that we can see the "video here" is false - the link is broken. The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcYLT37ImBY. It is a really interesting showcase and something is happening there that the writer at pvdz.ee didn't seem to find as interesting as I do.

There is a concept that I bumped into of "Novelty Search" in the genetic algorithm space. Rather than trying to guess what behaviour is "good" and reward it, instead reward some novelty heuristic. Agents explore the space more thoroughly. The video is a really quite a good showcase of the technique - he only encodes hints on how to play after a pure novelty based approach is shown to fail.

pvdz.ee seems to be trying to encode his game knowledge into the reward function early and seemed unsatisfied in the results based on his discussion.

If I had a Nvidia graphics card instead of an AMD one, an experiment I'd have run a few years ago was a Go AI that tried to find a novel move heuristic to see if that sped up training. But that was a few years ago, I was defeated by the poor compute driver situation and haven't felt the urge since.
Huh, fish does this too, thanks!

> 90s apps used these Windows handle controls and it was not a performance problem.

That depends on the overhead per window. Microsoft Windows could use nested windows because it had separate Graphics objects to store such things as the current drawing pen, its position and the current font to use for drawing (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/gdiplusg...)

In comparison, on the classic Mac every window had a GrafPort that defined a boundary region, a clipping region, the current pen position, size, drawing pattern, etc.

The Mac could have such heavy-weight window objects because it didn’t nest windows. Instead, each window had a single list of controls that were much lighter-weight.

my gut feeling says separating the drawing state from windows as in MS Windows is the better choice, but I also think having separate entities called “windows” and “controls” as on the Mac is the better choice.

(its documentation is ‘less than stellar’, but it appears GrafPort still exists: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applicationservice...)
the story that never ends...
The NTSB does not have any prosecution power and their investigation docket + reports are, by law, not admissible as evidence in court.

The NTSB will not identify the person responsible even to Boeing, let alone anyone else.

There is no "taking the fall" for talking to the NTSB. If it were otherwise a great many investigations would be impossible. Besides which the whole point of having a certified aircraft manufacturing process is to avoid making issues any one person's responsibility because all humans make mistakes. Allowing one person's mistake to endanger an aircraft means the process has failed, not the individual.

FWIW Airline pilots and ATC also have an ASRS reporting system: Aviation Safety Reporting System. It is blameless as well. Everyone makes mistakes, period. If you punish every pilot or controller who makes a mistake naturally they will try to cover up all such mistakes and that leads to worst outcomes. All the big airlines follow the rules and do not punish pilots for issues reported via the system. At worst you will get sent for some training to address problem areas.
I wonder how he regards his success as a productivity guru vs professor. All credit to him for achieving a level of success, notoriety that most will never get close to in their life. At the same time, I suspect productivity guru is not quite what he wanted to become. Or maybe it is. I don't know.
We are often our own harshest critics.

I think you should have someone you trust to gauge the quality of your work and let them make the call.

Because like people here have pointed out, some authors wanted their works destroyed when they died, but for some that is the work we most know them by.
While the allegations are credible (off course they are, these are a bunch of violent men brutalizing civilians) they have been far from proven. But what has been pretty much debunked at this point is Hamas using sexual violence as a weapon of war.

We know what using sexual violence as a weapon of war looks like as we have plenty of evidence the Israel army doing exactly that and we have no evidence of Hamas doing it.

> some of that is the New York Times fault for mishandling a story

This is putting it mildly. The NYT propagandized these allegations to support a pro-Israeli narrative. What they did was not only lie about Hamas’ true crimes, but also use a horrible crime—which no doubt some victims of oct. 7 experienced—as a way to justify other horrible crimes, including other sexual violence committed by the IDF in the aftermath.

I was more referring to Tesla’s practice of announcing a cheap model at a pretty competitive price A (eg Model 3) and saying that it will be available at X day, but come to find out only the expensive trims are available on X day and competitive price A is only available months or years down the line from the original announced date

I think a better explanation is that authors and other creators of public works are concerned with how they will be perceived.

Otherwise, they wouldn't spend months and years meticulously editing and improving their works before release.

It's uncomfortable, embarrassing even, to have your unfinished work consumed and reviewed as if it were finished, and as if it were an accurate measure of your intentions and talent.
That's how high (or "realistic") interest rates feels like. Another way to think about it is that the low interest rate environment was a sort of bonus, not a base pay raise - for those who were correctly positioned to take advantage of it.
Isn't that the point of the post?

There are URL's that are out there 'as-if' public, but really should be private.

And some people argue they should be treated as private, even if it is just a plain URL and public.
You may dislike it, but EU law only applies in the EU; it sounds like full compliance to me, not "bad faith" compliance.

Messaging-interoperability is the one aspect of the DMA I don't support. These apps are free to download; and if you care about security (and use Signal) you'll want to avoid cross-service messaging anyway.
> unless they have it in their phone’s contacts

Lol. Why should they be allowed to associate my phone with my signal handle even then. If i want them to know I'll tell them.

> a new privacy setting to limit who can find you by your phone number on Signal

Double lol. Limit is not disable.

How about an option to "do not give my phone number to anyone, no matter what reason to pass it around you make up this week"?

And the obvious next step: do not get my phone number period. But that has been discussed before.
Show HN: Langy – AI Translator
I have been working on an Artificial Intelligence side project, building everything from scratch during my free time on weekends, and I would like to share it here.

Lately I have been studying French and many times I get frustrated with Google Translate and Duolingo because of translations out of context or that lose their essence.

Then the idea came to me to create Langy, a translator based on AI. He not only speaks languages, but understands them. Using AI, Langy can analyze, make suggestions, make grammatical and contextual corrections, and even explain the points corrected.

The road to this final MVP was quite tough. The real challenge was in improving the translations and explanations. Countless hours have been dedicated to fine-tuning the AI, involving understanding the user's primary language and providing explanations that make sense.

For now it's just for iOS, but soon there will be a version for Android and Web.

Feedback is always welcome and appreciated!

While most people here seem to be dismissive, it's not like his books are targeted at the already successful, accomplished, or polished. They are meant to show people a way to become more successful in a world that has too many distractions. Not every job supports deep work and the other approaches, but many people, especially students, will benefit. I know I could have used it 30+ years ago!

I've only read Deep Work, but I found it very motivating and have tried to incorporate some of the lessons into my life. Now, (literally) buying into the whole ecosystem of Cal Newport is probably overkill, but occasionally listening to his podcast, which essentially answers the same questions over and over and over again, can be motivating and uplifting for those of us who are lacking in the perfection department.
Yes, I watch about half of them. Usually while doing the dishes or working out. Mostly listening, as I usually save interviews or lectures or podcasts. I never read the things I bookmark for later reading, but I have extra time to listen to things.
