> One doesn't need an example from just a few months ago to see why this is a bad idea. Acting like the internet is so different today than 5/10 years ago so you can try to dismiss good examples is silly and acting in bad faith.

Also, it doesn't matter how old an example is: if we can all agree that companies doing this is bed, then we shouldn't allow it. "It was awful 10 years ago, and it would still be awful now, but it hasn't happened recently, so it must all be fine." is very short sighted.

Either net neutrality is good, and we should have it. Or net neutrality is bad, and you dont need "yeah but that was 10 years ago" as your counter. If you can make an argument for "ATT charging you to use facetime is a good thing", then make that argument. Not "but that was so long ago".

"Yeah I agree, those things were awful, lets make sure they happen again"
I’m a big fan of Panic too. Been using Transmit for a long time.
>Is the AI bubble going to pop hard soon?

No. I think it's going to get way bigger. When it pops, it will still be bigger than February 2024.

Right now, the companies making money are Microsoft, OpenAI, AI chip makers. Google might join soon if they get their act together. Apple as well.

Basically, only existing large tech companies + OpenAI are making money so far.

However, I expect newer AI-only startups, to start making money in the near future. For example, I can see a company like Devin AI get loads of revenue very quick such as when ChatGPT launched.

As for open source AI companies like Stability, they're in trouble.

Unfortunately, no one has figured out how to make money with open source AI. It used to be that you'd open source your tool, get adoption, then offer a cloud. With open source AI so far, this hasn't come true for whatever reason. Perhaps we're just early.
It's not like companies didn't exist before the US created LLC's in the 1970's. You don't need legal, registered corporations to have companies. Companies would still exist. And even without explicit limitations on liabilities created by LLCs, any reasonable court is going to limit the liability of a company. It's trivial to create private agreements and EULA's that do effectively the same things as LLC law.

The thing you're failing to realize is that the concept of "ownership" and "benefit" aren't black and white. There are stockholders, investors, beneficiaries, members, clients, subscribers -- they all have at least some level of benefit from a company or organization, and depending on how it is organized, they may have some direct control or liability of it as well.

What you are asking for is mandatory violations of privacy with no legitimate purpose. It's the kind of "if you've got nothing to hide, then you shouldn't be worried" type of mentality that typically isn't tolerated elsewhere.

I have a large org-roam note system. I would like to create a pipeline where I can ask natural language questions, and it will build SQLite quries to efficiently crawl through the database and find what I want. I haven't gotten around to it though.
iCE40 was a good start, but boards based around that family are getting hard to find. For those who are building their own PCB and want an FPGA on it with minimal fuss, the iCE40HX1K comes in a TQFP-144 package and is still readily available from the usual retailers for such things. Nice for hobby PCB makers, but not a current-day solution for easy FPGA projects for software devs.

IMO Sipeed Tang is the product most like Arduino for FPGAs: boards ready to program with a USB cable and a range of plug-in-and-go peripheral boards available. The Gowin IDE is free but not open, while the yosys+nextpnr open toolchain claims full support for the FPGAs on the Tang boards.

LiteX makes speccing out an FPGA core much more approachable for someone from a software development background, too, so LiteX plus a Tang Nano 20k and you can do all sorts of awesome things without too much trouble.
"fawning" or "ingratiating" seem to be the standard English words for this.
If you can truncate() an existing file (via 'echo > big_file.img' or similar), I would hope the filesystem could deallocate the relevant extents without requiring more space. Seems a bit like a filesystem defect not to reserve enough space to recover from this condition with unlink().
Sure, if we're just fooled, if it's all an illusion, it definitely requires a lot less computation.

But if it's a proper simulation, base reality must be even more detailed. Like, a lot more.
1. My own "perfectionism" is really a fear of being negatively judged or shamed, not any kind of measurable quality in the output. This means the issue is my own emotional state, which can't be changed by any amount of dithering over the work-product itself.

2. Deliberately set out to write a draft or prototype with the intent that you throw it away. (If future-you decides to publish it instead, that's their problem, now-you just has to start.)

3. Ask yourself what the minimum-viable-product is for your message or set of findings, and remind yourself that you're allowed to make edits or revisions or footnotes later if people express interest.

4. [More generally for procrastination] Set an alarm to work on some task for just 5 minutes. Future-you might discover they have more traction than predicted and work past the alarm, but now-you just hsa to start.

Why does this work? No one really understands what goes on in the tangled mess of weights that is an LLM, but clearly there is some mechanism that allows it to home in on what the user wants, as evidenced by the content in the context window. If the user wants trivia, it seems to gradually activate more latent trivia power as you ask dozens of questions. And for whatever reason, the same thing happens with users asking for dozens of inappropriate answers.

"Why does this work? We didn't try very hard at all to find out, so all we have for you is a paragraph length shrug."
The Nippon Foundation that funds this is a strange beast, established to make it legal to bet on speed boats in Japan. A percentage of speed boat betting winnings enables the Nippon Foundation.

The first two chair-people were... colorful. Leading to some 'colourful activities':

>In 2001, the Peruvian Congress determined that the foundation financed forced sterilizations in that country (1990-1999).

First chairman:

1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ry%C5%8Dichi_Sasakawa

>Ryōichi Sasakawa (笹川 良一, Sasakawa Ryōichi, May 4, 1899, in Minoh City, Osaka – July 18, 1995, in Tokyo)[1] was a Japanese suspected war criminal, businessman, far-right politician, and philanthropist. He was born in Minoh, Osaka. In the 1930s and during the Second World War he was active both in finance and in politics, actively supporting the Japanese war effort including raising his own paramilitary units. He was elected to the Japanese parliament during the war. After Japan's defeat he was imprisoned for a time, accused of war crimes, and then found financial success in various business ventures, including motorboat-racing gambling events (Kyōtei) and ship building. He supported anticommunist activities, including the World Anti-Communist League

Second chair-woman:

2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayako_Sono

> Sono is considered to be a conservative. She was considered to be an advisor to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. She has drawn controversy for advocating for a system similar to South Africa's apartheid for Japan's immigrants.[1][2][3] She has also advocated for women to quit their jobs after becoming pregnant.[4]

The third is less colorful (at least his Wikipedia is highly curated), but the son of the first chairman, so who knows....
This is a comment for a rather niche audience, but Barth basically had two literary stages: in his mid to late-twenties, he wrote straightforward modernist fiction (The End of the Road and Floating Opera). The bulk of his career was spent writing post-modern fiction, which included the books most often cited in this thread.

I found his earlier work far more diverting: it featured tight, well-written plots with interesting characters and ideas. By contrast, stuff like Giles Goat-Boy was gobbledygook written for other post-modern academics. Gore Vidal actually has a great essay on this: it seems like Barth started out as a great novelist, but turned toward the (again just my opinion) rather fallow field of post-modernism to further his prestige. Which is a shame, because again, The End of the Road is delightful. I guess my point is this: if your introduction to Barth is seeing people recommend the Sotweed Factor, and you find it inscrutable, I recommend picking up his earlier work instead.
I don't know why you're being downvoted—I'm wondering the same thing.

Not that simple - as in, a company that not yet does business but may. That may be financed for that.

The definition of harm is context-dependent. I think you mean that opiates and other drugs, addictive or not, when “taken at a safe dose in a health young adult” will not significantly degrade basic body function.”

But opiates taken over a relatively short time can and often do greatly impair CNS neurotransmitter systems and downstream behaviors—-in some cases causing almost irremediable dysfunction. This happens to a sizable subpopulation of humans; more than 10% of physician-prescribed oxycontin users. Genetics and social context modulate vulnerability.

This is definitely not “little harm”.
That's why I brought up Kylie. I'm surprised people are so angry about it, I was basically just trying to say hey there is an interesting other conversation to be had here. I tend to agree with you, sure Kylie has a huge leg up, but there is some ratio, and some up and some down... in like... someone might be born kid of a B list rapper and inherent $2MM.. take it to zero in 5 years, or $100MM in 5 years. If Kylie gets to a $1B net worth by the time she is 28.9, personally, I'd give her some cheer, she agreed to choices that have been net positive for her consistently for a sustained period of time, and when she gets there, I would be fine to agree she is a billionaire under 30 who didn't inherit her billions. Oh, and i'll also add, I suspect she will make it to that number before she is 30, by some measures she's actually already there.
Not only those - majority shareholders must always be mentioned when any company is being talked about for any reason. Shareholders should not be able to hide behind a smoke curtain while profiting from destructive corporations. Every company must be named along with its majority shareholders before its ceo.
Which comment about Meson are you referring to?

Then what's the point of including it in dishes like paella, where any fragrance will be drowned out by all of the other spices and flavors in the dish?
So in your view 100 million MAU is not mainstream while 1 billion is. Where is your cutoff? Absent some criteria you’re just arbitrarily defining goalposts.
pkg-config was supposed to solve that, but, well, you know...
You can't editorialize titles like this on HN. The best I can come up with is the bug title:

FFmpeg fails to decode closed-caption to srt/webvtt
Actual title: [Intel Caption] Microsoft RTMP Ingest - FFmpeg fails to decode closed-caption to srt/webvtt

Bug report was opened 11 months ago.

"Leech free labor" is weird. Please don't make up titles.
Well yeah.

But trees can wreck my face too. I'd still want a good contour map if I were to go wandering into the wilderness.

A good map can tell you about the possibilities of the environment, but it's always inferior to looking at it yourself.
How to Break Dependence on the Phone
Gut feel response:

Because of the power differential between an employee who's given the responsibility of X versus a director/owner who threatened to fire said employee if they don't do legally questionable / flat out illegal thing in regards to X.

99.99999% of the time it's OK. It's those instances when it's not OK that it becomes societally important to demonstrate consequences for illegality.

I think it'd become a problem that governments around the world would prioritise if every individual conducted their private affairs through a shell company structure. I said elsewhere that doing so is going to be a potential retirement project of mine.
Since we're quoting might as well: "Under the cover of thousands of rockets fired from Gaza, they killed indiscriminately in streets, houses, kibbutz communities and at a rave music festival.

It took more than three days of heavy fighting for the Israeli army to regain control, and left the country deeply traumatised by violence unseen since the country's formation in 1948.

Police are still working to assess the scale of the sexual violence that was reported alongside the killings."

I'm pretty sure "security forces" includes police and possibly firefighters and even ambulance drivers. What I found in the IDF site is 282 soldiers: https://www.gov.il/en/departments/news/swords-of-iron-idf-ca...

So the ratio is more like over 3:1. More importantly your statement not true ("civilian to soldier").

Gigatron is a retro 8-bit computer with no microprocessor. Instead, its processing is done through thoughtful application of “TTL” logic chips. It’s another project that helps you “see” the processor’s internals. Kits aren’t for sale anymore through the official website, but you can find unpopulated PCBs and the components shouldn’t be hard to find.

It's only 'filtration' if selecting from from a list of targets. This sounds more like selecting targets from a group of people generally.

> The author mentioned copying the Time Machine drive. I have never been able to successfully do that. Last time I tried I quit after 3 days. As I understand it, only Finder can copy a Time Machine drive. Terrible experience.

rsync -av $SOURCE $DEST has never let me down. Copy or delete on Time Machine files using Finder never worked for me.

> Problem is I don’t know how to prevent it. It’s been suggested that SSDs are potentially less susceptible to bit rot, so maybe switching to one of those is a wise plan. But I don’t know.

OpenZFS with two drives should protect you from bit rot. ZFS almost became the Mac file system in Snow Leopard.
It's in the public interest only because of the particular way that taxes work.

If sleeping with someone was a taxable event, would that mean that it's OK to spy on people's bedrooms? After all, it's in the public interest.

In principle, I think that taxing only land ownership and pollution is the theoretically fair way to do taxation. And land ownership doesn't require obtaining any data that isn't necessarily known by the government in the first place.
Beyond ui - for even advanced users, there is not much benefit in moving to 11 other than MSFT being able to do more data collection and upsell more services.
If the so-called "total collapse" threat was real, then Obama, Gore, DiCaprio and all the other ocean-front mansion owners wouldn't have 1) bought the home or 2) been able to insure it.

So why cripple our economies, ruin our lives, increase our food, transportation, and energy costs? Because of faith? Dire climate-related predictions from the church of climatology date back to the 1960s. Hundreds of them. Not a single one has ever come true. Not one. But we should believe it now?

Catastrophic changes happen over geologic time. There isn't a tax which can stop a natural process, so why bother?

Even if the stated sea level rise is accurate (0.12 inch per year), that isn't exactly a flash flood. Places like New Orleans demonstrate that you can live at or below sea level and manage it with engineering.

If it came down to it, we'd build or we'd move 1000 feet inland and be good for another 5,000 years.

The calamity and chicken little shit is overstated because it is about the money; always is.
I think the Finder — or discoveryd underneath — is doing some kind of non-cached(!) WINS name lookup for each fopen(2) syscall against SMB shares mounted through their WINS name.

If your SMB server is running Linux, IIRC (this was ~8 years ago, so this might no longer be true) that it also seemed to work, to run avahi on the Linux host, configured to announce the system the way you would if you were setting up AFP on the host; and to have avahi then announce SMB as a service (mDNS SRV record) for the system.

I'd recommend trying to find an old guide for setting up a Linux AFP server. You don't actually have to set up (or even install) AFP, though; just do all the avahi parts!

Why does this work? I think it's because, unlike for the WINS names underlying SMB, macOS seems to have an optimized and cached name-lookup path within discoveryd for the mDNS SRV records that would underlie AFP shares. And this code-path seems to be perfectly happy with discovering an SMB share via mDNS. (Probably because of some legacy transition Apple went through internally, where AFP shares were deprecated + replaced with SMB shares, while still being published "as if they were" AFP shares, via mDNS.)
I always thought that purpose of libtool was to incorrectly guess that it was smarter than the developer in figuring how to link files together. When I've been trying non-default link magic stuff (something like lto), trying to figure out how to get libtool to actually pass the damn necessary linker flags to the linker was damn near impossible.
We did a bit of the traditional querying through a psql session, but that was moved through fairly quickly. I suppose their rationale was that most database access takes place through web applications, and to be fair, it does.
It's regulation in a great many countries about the globe that mining lease data is recorded and made available to "the public", eg: in the US this is largely handled by the BLM: https://www.doi.gov/ocl/blm-lands-leasing

As to the existantial nature of your question, you might try The Evolution of Resource Property Rights by Anthony Scott, perhaps look back to Roman Doctrine and how their laws carried forward in Western civilisation, look to Chinese history, etc.

There's a brief narrow overview of some of that here: https://www.pheasantenergy.com/mineral-rights-history/ and a whole lot has been written about "The Commons", etc.
I don't know about the "Israeli Zionist European settler Jews", but a plurality of all Israeli Jewish people are indigenous to MENA, so summing the population up that way is a little bit racist. I may be misreading you, though.

Totally.

But iCloud isn’t a backup.

Its sync.

And it will happily sync corrupt files and does not provide any versioning.

The best TimeMachine is an SSD connected locally to the Mac.

The second best is an SSD running on a Mac setup with TomeMachine Server.

Then you are lucky if backups continue to work. And even luckier if you can sensibly restore anything via the hellscape that is the interstellar wormhole travel interface! ;-)

BackBlaze is very reliable at least!
Not cheap with a house full of computers to backup though :-/
Inflation is when the number of dollars increases faster (or decreases slower) than the amount of value in the (USD) economy does. If the money is invested in a way that creates over a dollar's worth of value per dollar, printing money can actually reduce inflation.

In typical circumstances, such investment possibilities do not exist. However, in disasters (e.g. a 4-year-old virtuoso needs surgery to repair a ventricular septal defect; an average person is homeless and needs a place to live; an asteroid's on a collision course with the planet), creating additional money is often the correct decision. Experts disagree whether the recent pandemic was such an opportunity and – if so – what the correct response was: we saw lots of different strategies playing out in lots of different countries, but I don't think that's helped resolve the controversy.
Hyggelig om du forteller hvilken sak det faktisk er, siden jeg ikke kjenner den igjen fra beskrivelsen din.

AI Hype Invades Taco Bell and Pizza Hut
Perhaps you could help me with that? I was trying to reply to the parent's question about what Israel is supposed to do and offered some alternatives to indiscriminate killings. The part about the right of return dates back to around 1948, right around the time the state of Israel was established. How far back in time should we go for it to stop being a symptom and become a cause?
If you gave it away for free, how would the OD rate not go up? You will still have the street market if you are at least somewhat restrictive however; that is unless we start enforcing laws against dealers again, but that isn’t going to happen without any leverage over users.

At best what we can achieve is what Portugal achieved, which is mixed success that no one is really happy about.
This kind of extreme "we may as well tear down civilisation" is an unhelpful and paralysing response to climate change. Even if we did NOTHING until 2050 (which is itself an absurd extreme, given that solar+wind+storage now achieves a lower levelized cost of electricity than any other source) then the whole world could afford to live with the CO2 emissions per capita of Brazil or Indonesia, or in other words a 48% reduction from what France emits per capita, without exceeding 1.5 C of warming.

What we can't afford is the absurdly inflated per capita emissions of Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia and the United States.

The UK is now emitting less per capita than they did in 1879 and emissions have fallen 60% since 1970. If they were to fall another 47% then they'd be compatible with 15 C.

Climate change is essentially a problem resulting from overconsumption by the rich. The bottom 50% of the world aren't actually causing any particular climate change problem.
autoconf is a mess for developers, but when it's working it is great for users who want to build software from source. Fantastic feedback and help at the command line to enable/disable features and dependencies. Much friendlier than cmake, at least.
The problem though is that it is likely to be complete environment backup and restore, like iOS.

But we shall see!

Hopefully they will provide the ability to backup and restore file versions!
> Also, Park envisions a future where AI is integrated into every facet of Yum's restaurants, from generative AI assisting franchisees to AI-powered kitchen management and delivery platforms. The company is testing a ChatGPT-like chatbot in an internal mobile app used by restaurant managers to track and manage operations. This enhancement would allow team members to ask the app questions like "How should I set this oven temperature?" directly instead of asking a human being.

> Yum Brands is also reportedly exploring the use of generative AI for customer-facing applications, such as voice AI for drive-through orders and image recognition to monitor car counts and waiting times. We've previously reported on Wendy's experiments with dynamic pricing and AI-powered order-taking. Its dynamic pricing attempts were met with backlash when the news of potentially lowering and increasing food prices throughout the day went public in February.
