There's a name for it, it's called Shadow IT. It's the most common and often non-malicious kind of data leak. The only reason we care about it here, is because he's Chinese, and because he allegedly did meaningful things at Google.

I went to Kubecon in Shanghai last year, and they should have probably just called it LLMcon, since that seems to be 90% of what big tech in China is focused on right now. Not saying that there probably wasn't some interesting stuff in the data he took, but I think people here massively underestimate the talent and investment in China in this domain. Nvidia literally just identified Huawei as their top competitor[1].

I've never had an imposter syndrome as big as the one I had there (and in Taiwan, but more on the hardware side of things) anywhere in the valley.

A "bug" is a very generous term for how severely punitive CC 1.x, 2.x and 3.x were.

It was flatly bad and wrong and did exactly the opposite of what it was promised to do--permit rights holders to let users share their work and attribute it. It tricked people into a legal trap of minutiae and put users at risk.

It was broken for nearly two decades.

Reread that article. It has literally nothing to do with cause and effect. The study finds an association between intramyocellular lipids and insulin resistance, and has absolutely nothing to say about whether diabetes is caused solely by glucose dysregulation or something else.
Oof, there's some serious banding going on though.
I'm aware of the WSL dependency for the Windows version of Docker - I dealt with it 5 days a week for 4 years before I switched to Ubuntu as my work OS this January. When I said "Docker runs fine on Windows," I meant that Microsoft already ships the necessary runtime to host a Docker container.

I can't comment on MacOS as I haven't used it regularly in several years, and even then I only used Docker briefly on MacOS.

I can see how this approach would result in reliably cross-platform applications, but it immediately raises a couple of concerns: binary size, and interoperability with the underlying OS.

Docker on its own can already be very large. Shoving it inside of QEMU adds even more largeness. Are binary sizes a priority at all? If so, how do you plan to keep them reasonably compact?

I'll assume that user-facing software is the main target for this tool, which means that GUI support is really important. By hosting an application inside of QEMU and Docker, you create a very long and complicated path that stuff must travel through in order for a dockerc'd GUI application to interact with other programs. It's pretty easy to plumb an X server into WSL, but there are limitations when you get into more nuanced interactions with the rest of the machine (ex: clicking and dragging files into the window). Docker adds yet another layer that could cause trouble.

I wish you luck. I tried to make a similar tool for a game engine a while back, and it was absolutely hellish.
I don't think cryptos serve any use at the current moment but this comment is out of touch with reality.

Not a thing that happened, but it has a become a truism in certain circles that Jews lie, which naturally transforms to "IDF lies".

> it's kind of odd for proponents of Israel's ethnic cleansing/genocide to bring up war crimes

Your poison pill aside, it's not odd for proponents of Israel to bring up war crimes because Israel is a civilized, democratic nation who values the rule of law. Her opponents, however, do not, and will accuse in a mirror.
They provide a compiler and bundled userland that can be used to compile many C programs (even, for example, a slightly patched CPython) for a multi-OS binary distribution. Ruby shouldn't be that different.
>Simply on the basis that sampling bias exists, I'll say your sample isn't a good representation of the actual population.

I would say it's possible. But also every person I've ever met for the most part has 2 eyes. Despite sampling bias my measurement is pretty accurate to the population that most humans have two eyes.

So just because bias exists doesn't render a measurement inaccurate. It could still be accurate.

In fact I doubt even the most rigorous science can be completely unbiased. You can't say just because bias exists the measurement is inaccurate.

It could be accurate. A measurement existing opens the possibility up for the measurement to be accurate and true to the real world scenario.

Please, please, please don’t require Wayland yet. It’s still not ready for prime time.

Consider that it may not be appropriate to require it ever. Rather than just implementing the window manager protocol, as X does, Wayland requires its compositors to implement a huge amount of functionality. It is going to reduce the ability for small window manager to innovate, and make the Linux desktop less interesting.

Maybe at some point there will be a decent way for non-C, independent window managers to coexist with Wayland. But I don’t believe we’re there yet. It’s just not ready.

The copy and paste statement related to portability, and that's how I was defining it in this context. It was not intended to speak to Tailwind's maintainability.

However, a traditional class-based, modular approach to CSS can not guarantee portability in the same way. So if you can not predict what effect the same classes, or even the exact same HTML, will have, then it's neither portable nor is it very maintainable either.
I wonder if we'll ever abandon resolution-based rendering for screens, instead using a PPI/DPI vector-based system?

Since the 80s I've been wishing for a 300/600dpi resolution-independent screen. Sure, it's basically like wishing for a magic pony, but I was spoiled by getting a Vectrex[1] for a birthday in the 80s, and I really liked the concept. I know the Vectrex was a different type of rendering to the screens we use today, but I still find it fascinating.

Justice dept and FBI love any chance for photo ops and press releases patting themselves on the back. I'm not sure there's too much ace detective work to be proud of here - seems Google heard he'd presented as a CEO of a Chinese firm days after he quit, and must have given the FBI a call.

It makes a good story, but the current crop of LLM-based AI's don't seem to require much more than a bit of prior job experience to build. The most successful recentish AI/LLM startups such as Anthropic, Mistral and Reka.ai all have ex. Google, OpenAI and Meta employees as founders, and that prior experience appears plently enough to hit the ground running.
>I don't believe it would be legal for "enhanced background checks" on someone in the hiring process because they are Chinese American,

It absolutely would be legal if AI was recategorized as ITAR. In 2022, dual citizenship was cracked down on in ITAR regulations and dual(or more) citizen individuals must now be deeply vetted for contact with ITAR Section 126.1 countries which include China.
I was going to say that but I then remembered all the many many other apps that a lot of other countries used, and therefore I didn't want to act like I wasn't aware of those. For example, WeChat, Line, KakaoTalk, and more. Whatsapp is not at all universal, even if it might be the most common in many European countries.

Why not levy a tax on Bitcoin transactions in general, including the new ETFs?

Besides the point. The only reason Wayland is worked on and X11 is not worked on is funding. Not because Wayland is in any way better or something. It's clearly worse than X11 in almost every aspect.

True but you'd also have to get a train to London St. Pancras for the Eurostar which would probably entail some connection travel costs too - especially so if you are not in London.
> Also, many tunnels are supposedly used for civilian smuggling of foods, medicines, luxuries etc - and only exist because of Israel's blockade

I wanted to add a bit more about this, to illustrate how punitive Israel's blockade is. Israel inspects everything entering Gaza, prohibiting much of it. Some of the things Israel has banned from entering Gaza include:

- Crayons
- Books
- Candles
- Chocolate
- Newspapers
- Vinegar
- Potato chips (crisps)
- Sewing machines
- Fishing rods
- Sheets
- Blankets
- Wedding dresses
- Jam
- Coriander
- Seeds (so Gazans can't grow food)

This helps to illustrate the level of control and punitive authoritaranism that Israel has exerted over Gaza, prior to Oct 7th - it's all about collective punishment of Gazans, with the aim of forcing them to leave.
This looks great. I have played with litegraph.js before for fun (image generation via api). Creating custom nodes in that one was tiring.

- Can we make custom nodes in this (e.g. a node which to display images)?

- Can it be used like a client side js library (like litegraph)? or does it have to be used in IDE and its more like an IDE enhancement?

Looking back at the page and examples again, is it not the usecase this is for?

> I always wonder if other life in the universe has "seen" Voyager 1 and what they think of it.

No one's looked at it. It's in deep space, with a weak radio pointed highly directionally back at Earth.

> “We refuse to operate as the customer service representatives of your company,” the officials add. “Proper investment in response and mitigation is mandatory.”

It’s crazy to me how tech companies pretend customer support is not a critical business function. HN and Twitter are not your contact center, and law enforcement is not your Tier 2 support. With Google in particular I keep hearing that, it isn’t that their customer service is bad, it’s that it doesn’t exist at all. Any exec should find this embarrassing.
Nonsense. It works if it's more difficult for the adversary to recruit a member who doesn't match the profile. It doesn't need to be "impossible".

It seems fair for the browser to charge a fee (in the form of losing a percentage of users) in exchange for money earned by stealing data from users.

Creators do not get offered large sums of money by entities motivated by the desire to better serve the creator's users.

So yes, I agree that it would decrease the value of selling out. I see that as a good thing. It fights against what is currently killing the extensions ecosystem for everyone.
Bitcoin mining does subsidize electricity generation. It creates an extremely reliable floor price market for power, stabilizing demand and making power generation a more predictable business. There's a reason large renewable facilities are happy to contract with nearby bitcoin mines.

So, offer a return on investment. Charities that take loans pay interest. Charities that hire staff pay salaries. What's with this idea that charities cannot pay a reasonable market rate for services (e.g. short-term funding)?

> Given all of the known issues with "modern sleep" in modern laptops, I'd hesitate to blame this Wayland. Sounds more like a driver problem.

I was about to post "then why does sleep work fine for X11" but I think I recently had issues with it as well. There was a piece of time though where sleep worked fine on X11 and not on wayland for the same device.

It could be the nvidia driver at fault once again though, I'll have to retest things and see if both work with Nouveau.

Also Wayland is fixing it, but FPS games are buggier and have much higher frametime latency by default. After disabling compositor, the frametime latency is only slightly higher but I get weird frame glitches/flickering.

Everything else Wayland works great for and in the case of waydroid gives extra features, but having everything work and be stable is a lot of stress off my plate.
But a keypair is just a pair of numbers that satisfy some one-way function. If there's a way to generate the keypair from iris data from a human, then surely there's a way to generate an indistinguishable keypair using some fake data that plausibly could have come from an iris (ie it shares some of the same number theoretic and distribution properties) but did not. If that's the case, then the only part of the "proof of humanity" left to attack is to spoof the hardware so things think they are calling the iris scanner and getting a real key from a real human and instead they are calling the mock iris scanner and getting a plausible but not real key from a non-human. If the solution is something along the lines of "well we thought of that so a genuine worldcoin iris scanner has to sign the data to prove that it came from a worldcoin device" then I would bet you can get hold of a signing key using social engineering. If this thing was to take off it could be valuable to do so and many of the people operating the devices would be in countries with very low GDP per capita so it could well be in the realm of possibility to bribe your way to getting it.

I'm sure they must have thought about this but I don't understand the solution.
The first notice Cory received claimed to be a second notice, and he assumes he missed the first one, but I'm wondering if this was deliberate mischaracterization (by the sender) of what was actually a first notice, either in an attempt to establish that the recipient was willfully continuing the violation after a first notice, or in an attempt to induce the recipient to come to this conclusion themselves.

For all I know, the law has effective sanctions against this practice, but I imagine there are ways of sending a first notice in a way that make it unlikely to be received - a typo in the address, or perhaps an email crafted so as to likely be classified as spam.

Even on a screen with not-particularly-high DPI, grayscale AA is fine. Subpixel AA was a brilliant idea for the displays of 2005 (72-96 DPI), but it came with lots of downsides (like color fringing on dark backgrounds, or for users with astigmatism). Grayscale AA drops both the benefits and the drawbacks, but even at like 100 DPI, the difference is very marginal.
I agree with your overall point, but I’m not sure you’re making a fair comparison:

- Eurostar trains run from central London; cheap flights leave from Luton, Stansted, and Gatwick, none of which are close to London, and which therefore all potentially require a time-consuming extra transfer, at some additional cost.

- if you have flexibility on time and book a little in advance, one-way Eurostar tickets for one adult can be found for ~£50, and easily for less than £100.

So it’s more like ~£107 versus ~£200-400, if you live near a relevant airport, or in central London, respectively.

—-

Of course, this still doesn’t explain why running a train should be several times more expensive than a plane. I’m not sure the absence of environmental taxes (as argued in the article) is the full explanation- this sounds more like a mechanism to force price parity, rather than the root cause?
That's fair, but easier said than done. Reducing the stress/risk of deploys is a long, hard process at the best of times, and also is something that you have to continue doing in perpetuity as the complexity/failure impact of the systems being deployed grows. It's also an area where many organizations struggle to (re)commit resources appropriately.

If you ever find yourself behind the curve in that area (as in: deploys are risky and stressful events), then a good short-term mitigation for the symptoms might be to avoid deploys on Fridays or similar, while also committing resources towards improving the root cause (deploys suck).
I love this book, even since its first edition. It's very clear even on elementary stuff, e.g. see the section on bindings/variables: https://eloquentjavascript.net/02_program_structure.html#h-l... — avoids the pitfall of thinking of variables as “boxes”.
