1) the "EU" is not homogenous at any level. The regulators of tech seem much more anti-trust inclined than others.

2) Even if companies withdraw from the EU, the EU can still wreck their operations outside of the block in a large variety of ways. They could, eg., place DMA restrictions on what tech can be invested in by EU citizens -- then we're talking a massive loss of customers and FDI to the US. etc. etc.

3) Many US states, esp. california, will largely be copy/pasting this approach; as will many countries around the world. The EU is innovating and leading legislation, it is not an outlier.

4) If the EU is steamrolled, that will be a major worry of regulators elsewhere. Other countries (, states) will end up being much more draconian to prevent it. Consider, eg., many regs in california being actually more restirctive than those in the EU (child safety, etc.

I just skimmed the article for sanity checking and it looks more like crackpottery than science to me.

Looking at the numbers on the graphs for single-slit diffraction, they are just binomial coefficient, at least mostly, not sure why there are pieces missing in the last rows. That is also what you expect when you repeatedly make binary decisions to go left or right. The article does not mention the binomial distributions once, it only appears in a comment.

And then they claim that it converge to the actual single-slit diffraction distribution, something with a Chebyshev polynomial and the sinc function, according to the article. Seemingly without justification besides looking at graphs and noting that they are both bell shaped. As said, not sure what is going on in the last rows of the graphs, but I would almost bet that the two functions are not the same, even in the limit as it becomes a Poisson distribution plus whatever the last rows do.

Why do they not just proof that the two are the same? The entire article seems to be about getting numbers out of their multiway system and then concluding that - if you squint hard enough - they look somewhat like diffraction patterns.

Is it a privilege to have gender-specific programmes and scholarships at universities?

Particularly if that gender is now the majority at universities...

And it's not only at university level. Boys are doing worse than ever before at all levels of education, yet the focus is still on helping girls succeed. And I don't believe that it's due to discrimination, I think boys are just more vulnerable to modern distractions (including girls) and schools are doing a very poor job compensating for that.
> Japan, Germany, and Italy's people didn't practice a religion that required them to hate Americans.

I mean historically Jews were treated much better by Islam than they were by Christians, so I'm not sure that argument holds up.

Now, given that Israel has been occupying the land of the Palestinians for over fifty years now, there's definitely gonna be a lot of anger there. But flattening Gaza is definitely not gonna help with that.
Probably so that you can put Director on your resume even though you're an M1 manager and not get called out for it publicly.
Think Apple's argument about Epic having previously flouted the rules openly might be good enough. For a third party app store, Apple is pretty much giving the keys to your phone to the said app store. If there is a company which has demonstrated they won't play by the rules, it's not a huge stretch to say that it may harm the security of the model. While the EU wants the company/iphone to be more open, it also puts the onus of keeping it secure on the company itself.

Another reason I believe they are on sure footing is that they got the rejection from the law firm, which I presume knows what they are doing, just as they did during the 2020 shenanigans from Epic.
>Are you implying leadership is not a skill

This is a very good idea
You cannot declare war on a territory you occupy and control. It is as if the United States declared war on Washington DC or any of their numerous prisons.
Germany, Italy and Japan unconditionally surrendered. The Marshall Plan didn't create peace, it rebuilt societies once peace had been established.

Do we imagine that Germany would have agreed to peace in 1944 or 1939 if only the Allies had given enough aid?
Huh? The violence in Northern Ireland has 100% stopped.
I do like the underlying ideas, and OCaml has been on my radar for a while. However, from my experience, functional languages with a big F always tend to feel a bit too "academic" when writing them to gain enough mainstream adoption.

Imperative code with functional constructs seems like the most workable approach to me, which rust, go, and other languages like kotlin, crystal etc. all offer.
Gender salary gap is a man's privilege, even in your country, to put just one example: https://ourworldindata.org/economic-inequality-by-gender

I've noticed quite often very competent junior devs are very often guilty of writing far to complex code. I think there's often a disconnect between the ideal of what software should be and what best solves the problem.

Since taking the mindset of been required to solve a problem as opposed to trying to write the 'best' and 'cleanest' software I've found my productivity jump substantially while ending up with easier to maintain code.
XMPP and Matrix already have WhatsApp bridges, though through they are not officially supported or accepted by WhatsApp.

Hopefully what will change now is that such bridges can be updated to use officially-supported methods, which (if WhatsApp play nice) means they will be more reliable and user-friendly than they are today.
How about massacre and genocide? they seem far more appropriate to a one sided military operation.
While I understand the problems raised in this post, I think they're going a bit too far. The CVEs assigned to the kernel were already specific to various parts of it. You're not running linux-x.y.z, but rather linux-x.y.z + specific config. That means vendors already needed to look at CVEs and decide what applies to them and what doesn't. It's up to NVD records to include how likely something is to be a problem and give it some description / score.

Choosing a random selection of CVEs posted so far... they look reasonable. They're actual issues and they'll potentially affect someone.

This reminds me of the cookie banners situation. Many people complain about the cookie banners being visible rather than about the companies doing things that requires them to notify you. Now if you say you care about the published vulnerabilities, you get to actually see them all. And potentially change the policies around how you worked with them. (yes, it's not a great analogy, I'm not blaming linux for having each of those vulnerabilities)
If you're ever given any paperwork to sign ever, thank them for the paperwork and take it away to digest.

Don't let false urgency ever pressure you to do otherwise.

If they need your signature, they can wait to get it. If they don't need your signature then they shouldn't have a problem anyway.
It is disappointing, but not surprising to me that Apple would drag their feet and concede no more than malicious compliance. They really need to be forced.
It's horses for courses, becuase most of the queries I do seem to just hallucinate and little else with the big players, while the newest smaller startups are some of the best.

On the level of paper, not everything is laid out linearly. The main text is often laid out in column, the flow can be be offset with pictures with a caption, additional text can be placed in inserts, etc ...

You need a human eye to figure that out and this is the task nlm-ingestor tackles.

As for the content, semantic contiguity is not always guaranteed. A typical example of this are conversations, where people engage in narrative/argumentative competitions. Topics get nested as the conversation advances, along the lines of "Hey, this remind me of ...". Building up a stack that can be popped once subtopics have been exhausted: "To get back to the topic of ...".

I am disabled. I am being targeted by random people who treat me like a subhuman on a daily basis. I am being subjected to patronisation on a regular basis. And I am still here, and doing my job. People like you naming me misogynistic is rather low on my list of insults. Dont lecture me about complications when dealing with peers. I know more about that then you will (luckily) ever experience yourself. So keep your accusations, I am not interested. IOW, I have no sympathy for whining. Life is hard, people need to own up, period.
How destroyed is Gaza? (German)
So what do you think would happen if terrorists took over the MIT campus, students sympathized with them, rockets were launched from it, and the US police had no presence there and very sparse intelligence?
This is fine until "We will make steady progress", that's not guaranteed, in fact there's already a phrase for this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

With space travel, there is a very well established physics to model and predict how we might do these things, you need to do some stuff like build rockets, have them escape earth's gravity, build things in space.
Everything is a known known or a known unknown but we have the physics to model everything involved with space travel.

This is an entirely different class of problem to "creating AGI", since there is basically a huge unknown unknown ocean to cross. So far everything we have done in AI is a statistical proxy for real thought processes, and there's one assumption that says lets make more and more of these kinds of AI techniques with "bigger" systems and we might approach something like AGI. But it isn't certain.

so far with the GPT's we've really only succeeded in synthesizing human written text corpus into a statistical prediction engine, which can synthesise useful text, but does not have any semblance of 'thought'.
The thing about ARRI is, yeah their gear is expensive, but it is just an incredible combination of good design and stellar engineering. Their cameras are surprisingly straightforward to use, definitely easier than a RED or Sony (with their "every-surface-needs-to-be-covered-in-buttons-but-few-are-where-you-would-expect-them"-mentality).

Their light gear is just stellar. I have seen ARRI HMI lamps that took 40 years of beatings and still worked flawlessly.

The thing is, sure ARRI is expensive, but depending on your production losing a day might be more expensive than buying a whole new camera.

Generally my experience is that a lot of the price of high end gear goes towards reliability, this is true for most other fields of tech as well.

Ask HN: Why does it seem hard to buy an ONT for fiber?
For years, I had cable internet and purchased my own modem to use along with my own router, main reason being I don't trust my ISP to handle my personal information with discretion and I'd like to limit my dependence on their hardware as much as possible.

Now I've moved and I have fiber, which is great, except it seems I have to rely entirely on the fiber equivalent of a "modem," which I believe is the "ONT."

My question is: why? Why was / is there a fairly well-developed market for modems where consumers can choose their own hardware, whereas for fiber there is almost no market for ONTs? Is it for a technical reason? Or do ISPs want to be able to get cheaply manufactured ONTs and pass along "rental fees" to consumers?
I've written a lot of kotlin and it does indeed come very close! Now if only it wasn't bound to java's bytecode under the hood...

Whenever I've had to write kotlin for Android in the past I did quite enjoy it. It seems like the entire ecosystem is very enterprise-y when it comes to web though. Forced adherence to object orientedness and patterns like 100 files, 5 folders deep with 10 lines of code each keep cropping up in most kotlin projects I've seen.
Probably reproducibility and consistency.
I still don't quite get the downside of staying around and seeing what happens. Were they so sure their role would be impacted for the worse? Were they already having conflicts with their management over the sale's consequences?

Israel neither occupied nor controlled the Gaza interior prior to Hamas' attack. They only controlled the border and what goes in and out of Gaza (some cross border tunnels excepted). Within Gaza, Hamas and the Palistinian National Authority ruled.

A court still needs to decide on whether there was wilful infringement, which is unlikely if it was a genuine mistake.

The alternative, which the new license provides, is that attribution isn't really required, since you can just add it on-demand.

As a content creator, I might prefer that the attribution on my works be more strongly enforced.

I blocked TikTok a little over a year ago. I’ve been recognizing many TikTok-only content creators jumping ship to YouTube shorts. And these creators are also getting clobbered by YouTubers that have figured out the right way to chop up their long form videos into short morsels.

With that said, I think all of this is pointless. I don’t actually think TikTok will be relevant in 5 years. TikTok is just TikTok.. meanwhile YouTube, instagram and twitter have fully encroached on TikTok’s territory and audience

Tutanota or Tuta is a great email client for my phones and desktop. Clean interface and smooth, love the in built calender, I deleted the calender app from my lineage and Eos phones.

I have never received any spam from unsolicited sources.

Of course I recieve the obligatory spam emails for a month proceeding any online purchases that I have willingly provided my email address. I only buy from independent online stores anyway so I expect some lure to buy something else from them.

I have a lovely clean email in box.

The pro-googlers on this planet who cannot consider for one minute a better alternative, brainwashed by the incessant propadanda seem to have lost the ability to think objectively about the world and especially, the most important of all, their own privacy.

I would like to stress what is also mentioned in a sibling comment: quantum mechanics' original formulation was not in terms of a wave function and differential equations.

Heisenberg's matrix mechanics was the first, and formulated entirely in terms of linear algebra. See for example the introduction of basic linear algebra techniques in the famous Bohr-Jordan paper from 1925:

Apple is helpfully providing the malicious compliance strategies the tech industry will use to avoid gatekeeper regulation.

Legislators in Asia & the us are no doubt thrilled to observe this, at a distance, so they can better design their versions.

I dont think we have to worry about gatekeeper platforms throwing their toys out the pram (stroller); every major gov is watching this.
You can call Apple a customer or supplier of Epic, but it's just semantics they do have a business relationship.

The deeper point is companies get rid of litigious business partners whenever possible. It's one reason why you end up regulating utilities, nobody wants the electric company to have excessive control over the local economy. Where exactly digital platforms sit on this spectrum is probably a question for legislators not the courts.
> Apparently we need to write more highlight blog posts and submit them here b/c people don't seem to know about this stuff

100% you do. I find the term a bit odd, but I've been a "Linux professional" for coming up on 30 years now and I've never even heard of this stuff before.

There is _so much_ in the Linux world that is just badly explained, or not explained, and it's very hard to find cogent explanations. Trying to find them, summarise them, and in some cases, just write them myself is a large part of my job...

And it's a huge field.

One of the reasons some things dominate the headlines is that the creators spend a significant amount of time and effort on outreach. On just talking about what they are doing, why.

That's why there are tonnes of stories about GNOME, KDE, systemd, Flatpak, Snap, Btrfs, ZFS, etc. They talk. They explain.

It's also why there are next to none about Nix, Guix, Spack, and legions of others. They don't.

To pick a trivially small example: Nix talks about being declarative, but it doesn't explain what "declarative" means. And it mentions "purely functional" but it doesn't explain that either. Those things right there are worth about 1000-2000 words of explanation per word. Omit that, and the original message becomes worthless, because it becomes insiders-only.

As it happens through decades of reading about Lisp and things, I more or less get it, but not well, and I struggle to explain it.
Apple Set to Be Quizzed by EU over 'Fortnite' Maker Shutout
In terms of the image, I think a big advantage Arri cameras have is a patent on simultaneous dual gain sensors. Perhaps somebody will tell me I've misunderstood that though.

Aside from that, I think a lot of what you pay for is reliability, support and general non-sketchiness, which are not areas where RED have a particularly good reputation.
Hey, do you know that the EU also have the power to ban companies from doing business in the EU ? That's because like every market, it's a regulated market.

EU is very pro business but, unfortunately for Apple, they are the one writing the rules.

Apple feels really arrogant trying to get around the rules of EU while also accepting every regulation with their tails between their legs in China.

I have a lot of Apple products, I really like them, but EU can get along without their products, so if they want to sell on this continent, they have to follow the rules.
