It should use ^Title and ^Artist, otherwise something with "Artist" or "Title" will give wonky results.

More importantly, you can get the same results by just one or two dbus-send commands instead of using that "sp" script + something to clean it up.

The sp-metadata function uses tons of processes to clean the output[1], and sp-current launches a few more. If you're doing this in a loop for your WM status display this sort of stuff really adds up. Even on modern systems launching processes isn't free and relatively slow, and launching >20 of them every few seconds is going to use non-trivial amounts of CPU and will needlessly drain your battery.

I don't really know what that dbus command outputs, but I bet that with you might go a long way with "dbus-send ... | grep -o ..." or something.

So in general I'd say this is a classic case of "you're not even using the right solution, and no amount of GPT is going to help".

It is just as crass to say people "lost" their savings.

Who were these hypothetical savers putting their money in a safe place?

Few people should have been unaware of the risks they were taking by investing in crypto.

Certainly not saying they deserve to be defrauded, but I am saying they took obvious risks and then got burned by those risks.

>The suit says that SBF’s father directed where company payments would go, picked out charities to benefit from his son’s largesse, entered into and terminated contracts, hand-picked the company’s outside counsel, made hiring recommendations, and authorized expenses.

>SBF’s mother, used ill-gotten funds from her son’s businesses as a piggy bank for her political action committee.

>The suit says that Bankman, SBF’s father, was at one point drawing a $200,000 annual salary from FTX but that he thought he was “supposed to” be getting a nice, round $1 million. He emailed his son, according to the suit, “Gee, Sam I don’t know what to say here. This is the first [I] have heard of the 200K a year salary! Putting Barbara on this,” he added, calling in the boss’s mother. The suit says that shortly thereafter, Bankman-Fried made a $10 million gift to his parents out of funds from Alameda Research (FTX’s sister hedge fund), then had the couple put on the deed to a $16.4 million Bahamas property with funds “ultimately provided” by FTX.

I think you are right about starting early in education and exposing disadvantaged children to things they wouldn't otherwise have available to them, and supporting them throughout their education. This would benefit organizations that want to achieve good performance and is worth them investing in themselves, although government support is a decent second option that I agree with. However it's important to note that this is primarily an economic differentiation, not a racial one.

Training can help but it is not sufficient for many tasks. You also need aptitude and desire.

Culture is more about what is valued and rewarded in a society, and I think the primary driver of the desire component.

What I meant about framing was that our economies, governments and businesses are framed in a cultural context, anglo-protestant american capitalism in this case. African-american/black communities have a challenging relationship with this for obvious reasons. Certain immigrant populations can integrate or interoperate more effectively than others. I think the key to achieving better results as a society and a planet is to incorporate more cultural diversity, allowing a broader range of desires and outcomes to be seen as valid and worth pursuing. I'm sorry I don't have more time to go into this right now, I hope it gives an idea what I was referring to.
Also the legislation splitting the Post Office from Royal Mail and privatising it happening in 2011/12 just looks even more shady in light of all the Post Office stuff.
I'm inclined to agree with Microsoft Word's autosave, here. If you are making edits to a file, the implication (which could be wrong) is you're intending to overwrite at the end. And indeed, autosave came around because way too many people were losing document modifications to freak power outages and computer crashes.

If the intent is to not overwrite an existing file, I personally learned to make a copy first either via Save As in the program or by copying in whatever file manager I'm using. That way I make my intention clear to both myself and the computer.

I've actually burned myself numerous times because occasionally I would forget to copy first, instinctively hit CTRL+S frequently because I hail from before autosaving became widespread, and then realize I just overwrote something I wanted to keep as-is.

> But at the very least it's often interesting to see how traditional systems are reimagined in order to enable decentralized, trustless, computer programs

They are not re-imagined. It's a combination of a still on-ongoing gold rush (well, the end tail of it) and people pretending there are purely technical solutions to all problems.

Almost every single of those "interesting re-imagining" projects rather quickly rediscovers why traditional systems are the way they are, and end up being shittier versions of those.

doing a DDG search for "teach people on spectrum about reading people" brings up too much 'learn reading text' results.

Did just find https://www.scienceofpeople.com/how-to-read-people/

so I'll be using that resource.

> Are there really common environments where the final product only gets run with less permissions than the package manager?

Yes, only running the final product in a VM/container is pretty common.
Users didn’t consider them just fine, as they immediately abandoned them when given the chance.
Deployments are irrelevant for this conversation; libraries get to run code there anyway. For code execution during installation to be an attack vector, you'd need an environment where npm install gets run with _more_ permissions than npm start (or the equivalent for other package managers). I can't really think of an environment where that is the case. Usually the build and package manager is more restricted than the application, not the other way around.

"...that you or your end users... host". Maybe Vultr had nothing but the best intentions, but their legalese was catastrophically bad. If Vultr truly meant well, then the only people confused were their legal team who drafted a ToS that didn't reflect their intent.

Slightly unconnected but I’ve found a rather disturbing “dark pattern” in Amazon sales of food items in CA.

Background: CA requires a warning on food that has some threshold level of carcinogenic or harmful substance - esp lead and arsenic. It’s called CA 65 Warning or a Proposition 65 warning.

I make sure to look for these on the images of labels and ingredients when I buy food especially ground spices off Amazon.

The dark pattern: Label images show no CA 65 warning but when the food turns up it has such a warning! I bought bulk powdered cinnamon with this issue.

Recently I noticed that while Amazon does not show the warning on the label it has an innocuous small print link in your shopping cart that leads to the full text of the warning should you notice it and click on it

This is now in the vicinity of actually increasing the probability of physical harm. Because of not having the warning in the label AND having an almost ignorable warning at checkout when you are more focused on getting things done and move on to the next thing, as opposed to when you are in a more deliberative state while browsing.

Just want to put that out for folks in CA who might care about such things. I’m sure they wouldn’t try shtuff like this in EU.
That one AI calls it taiwan and another calls it china's extra cool eastern china island doesn't seem very interesting to me. There have always been and always will be land disputes.

I disagree with this. I don't really care if a video game company is run in a profit-maximizing way. We should probably be a bit more skeptical with important companies, particularly ones that seem irreplaceable (for all their faults, only one other company can do what Boeing does).
It doesn't seem promising, a one man band has been doing a quixotic quest based on intuition and it's gotten ~nowhere, and it's not for lack of interest in alternatives. There's never been a better time to have a different approach - is your metric "times I've seen it on HN with a convincing argument for it being promising?" -- I'm not embarrassed to admit that is/was mine, but alternatively, you're aware of recent breakthroughs I haven't seen.

While I agree that there is a lot of hot air in crypto, what gives value to something like ethereum is the fact that you need it to use the network. Given people think it's useful to use that network it will give value to ether.
We’ve reached my limit on the nesting of a contentious sub-thread (frankly I’m surprised we haven’t reached HN’s limit on such).

If I’m mistaken about this, I want to be educated about it, I hold all of the famous computer scientists I’ve mentioned in extremely high regard and if I’ve been inadvertently spreading falsehoods it’s a priority to me to both stop doing that and depending on the degree of such an error if it is one, a formal apology could even be in order.

I do not think that this remains a useful or even acceptable forum for that conversation however.

If you know or strongly believe that I’ve made statements about public figures that I admire and that are inaccurate, I’d not only invite but explicitly request that you contact me directly to straighten it out without the distractions and perverse incentives of an audience to a debate that has become more than “spirited”.

I’m reachable at b7r6@b7r6.net and I hope to continue this discussion in a more productive forum than this particular sub-thread.
> It just took 25 years to finally happen.

To me the big question is, why did it take 25 years for this to become common knowledge? Why is our system of evaluating public corporations so messed up that a public company, and one with huge government contracts to boot, could get away with this for that long?

A stint trying to establish your own business would definitely attract a large part of my focus during any interview. I'd need to satisfy myself I knew the truth why you went out on your own. In particular I'd need to believe your reason was excitement about something particular you were going to do; and not because you were running away from something (unemployment; boredom with work; difficulty not being the boss; etc).

On the other hand, I'd be really interested to hear about the thing that attracted you so much and everything about that experience. I suspect I would find that experience an overall positive.
>name a commercially successful Boeing-designed product from the 21st century. Something that can legitimately be called "Successful", and "Boeing"

Boeing is still able to sell planes to customers, they still have a lot of orders in their backlog. This would only change if their are mass cancellations by their customers.

There is a massive demand for planes right now, airlines rather would own a "good enough" plane from Bowling than no plane at all.

The problem isn't the lack of commercial success, the problem is that Boeing is commercially successful and that there is absolutely no punishment from the market or their customers, because everyone knows that they will continue to make and sell planes.
