That’s pretty much standard practice for espionage and extortion, at least during the last few centuries, and probably more.

Men are known to be vulnerable to these kind of manipulation attacks, and the exploit is common in the wild.

Since production support on humanity was EOL before written history, it hasn’t been patched.

We are unfortunately stuck with whatever we can patch together based on reverse engineering the product and hacking in what we can sort out.

It doesn’t help that forking and pull requests are total chaos, and there is zero consensus as to what represents the current build, much less the SOTA.

It’s so common, in fact, for people to get together in pairs or small groups for recreational forking that the current builds are now in the billions, with no version control whatsoever.

It’s just total damn chaos.
"curious to hear the cynical take here"

My first cynical reaction is to ask which politicians will benefit handsomely from stock trading with SawStop stock (assuming it's a publicly traded company) or through kickbacks of one kind or another.

I think SawStop table saws are terrific for woodworkers who work in their own shop. Less so for workers who have to bring their tools to the job site. Yes, I know that SawStop makes a portable table saw. When you're working at a job site, you have less control over the materials you're working with (as compared to the cabinet maker in his/her own shop). SawStop technology isn't compatible with all materials that need to be cut at a job site. A common example mentioned is treated lumber, but I don't recall ever having cut treated lumber on a table saw. When I need to cut treated lumber it's with a hand held circular saw. I'm a part-time handyman (some evenings and weekends).
Well, it's been hand wavily described on 50 students with similar socio-economical backgrounds how much more replication would you like? There are also some references to statistics terms so it must have statistical power.
I'm confused, because it legally sounds like the opposite right? All these platforms are legally going to be requested to open up sooner or later because of recent EU rulings. Perhaps Beeper just ran out of runway? They thought they'd be making money in December with their iMessage move, and now it's April?
How is this an insanely common task? I literally never have to dink with $PATH on Linux, and only rarely on Mac because homewbrew has decided that certain executables shouldn’t be linked in by default.

I think the reason you are getting pushback is that you’ve proposed a complex replacement to a simple existing solution which basically just isn’t a problem. Most developers become allergic to complexity over time, hence the response.

It sounds like your actual problem is with the homebrew project, not with $PATH.
Slightly less impressive was the minimap, which was also an entire second(third) copy of the game's graphics process. (Although really you weren't 'supposed' to use the minimap, since strategic zoom took its place.)
How is there no narrative? There are consistent characters with a backstory and a story that connects each scene?

Show HN: Cape Superconnector View – Find superconnectors. Get warm intros
Hey HN! We’ve been building different ways to improve LinkedIn / professional networking. LinkedIn has great data, but is very rigid in how it lets you use it.

Our Superconnector View helps you discover who in your network is the most well connected to any type of person (or search keyword). Then, it helps you ask those well-connected people for warm intros to their networks (and puts outreach on autopilot).

We’d love your feedback on 2 things in particular:

1. Is Superconnector View interesting / useful? (e.g., for sales, VC intros, recruiting, etc.)
2. What are other views / ways you’d like to reshape your LinkedIn data?

We can reorganize your LinkedIn data in any view you want. We’d love comments on what views would be most helpful. Thanks a lot!

Demo is here: https://www.loom.com/share/e851fab7748145049ecd04e1624fc91d?...

Try it here (free trial gives 5 free warm intros): https://www.joincape.ai/
This looks like a SoM + carrier board. So at least in theory one could swap out the SoM (but yes, cpu + RAM soldered on there).
Yes, the rational part of me is telling that complex jobs in the field cannot be handled by AI alone without human contribution, but there's this other part which is always on its toes and gets just a tiny bit discouraged anytime it sees a news article relating to look how good AI is at this stuff!

I guess the only way to overcome this is to build my fundamentals bit by bit and make myself able to take on complex jobs.

There is no broken budget, the US government isn't a household, it controls its own fiat currency.

Projects which increase economic activity (like rural broadband) can be revenue positive without fees or anything.

Now if the money all gets swallowed up by a huge ISP that doesn't actually give underserved people broadband, then everyone loses and its just corporate sponsorship.
> I don't want to build a complete UI system from the ground up, but there are certain points where I'd like to be able to customize things, like adding new widgets and having some way to render 2D things without needing a graphics API surface -- think HTML canvas. I feel like ImGui does a pretty good job here, giving you drawing primitives.

Yes, Qt may not be super friendly with this. However, it is perfectly possible.
Qt lets you integrate an "external canvas" that you can render with your favourite graphics API (e.g. OpenGL) and integrate it in the Qt Quick scene (or widgets if you prefer). For example, I did this with my notetataking application, Scrivano [1], for handwriting, where the main canvas is a separate OpenGL view that renders content using Skia, while the rest of the UI is standard Qt Quick.

In my country, the largest internet provider had intermitent service interruptions for a couple hours ADSL and mobile. They were approximately 1 minute every two minutes. Even 3g failed a couple times.

Such interruptions happen a couple times a year, only. Coincidence % would be 2(100)/(365)

We had a 20% eclipse so, it was a regular working day. I would rule out increased usage)
In f90? That’s pretty cool.

On a related note, IMO it would be pretty cool if we could get an LLM implementation that provides and RCI interface like all the old computational codes used to.
It's possible, but we don't have a state-level perspective on mobile devices vs desktop, only at the country level. So, it's difficult to confirm.
FSD has yet to even achieve what the Tesla marketing states about it, and they thought Robotaxis would be a thing in 2024?

FFS, even the term FSD is outright horse shit marketing. Look at the definition of the letters.

If we assume no free will, the notion of "excuse" doesn't really apply. In a world without free will nobody opts for excuses, they just do what they were predetermined to do mechanically. People have no agency, in any meaningful way.

So, if "wanting" corresponds to some mental state, people will be predetermined to have a single specific state about it (" wanting" to punish or not punish criminals) at any given time. They will also be predetermined to punish or not punish criminals - they can only do what they end up doing.

Thus, if we assume no free will, there's also no meaningful sense to say that "people hide some true intention". Nobody has any intention, same like a rock doesn't develop any "intention" to fall to the ground when it does so, it just falls.

As for the question: since very few believe in any lack of free will, society will continue to punish criminals anyway. It's not like jail time and legal punishments are in even the remotest real danger to stop because of philosophical discussions about free will. So that can't be what's causing the tiny minority of people interested in such matters to advocate for combatibilism (and thus, no case of "true intention", as if they're sadists who don't want society to skip punishing people who crime without free will).

Rather, a more obvious intention (again, assuming free will exists, and people do have intentions, even if they themselves believe there's no free will) is to make a universe that's deterministic (and thus traditionally understood to lack free will) compatible with the experience and intuitiveness of free will (hence, compatibilism).
What pricing? I've been on Beeper for a few months and i've not seen any.

Ironically i joined because of iMessage, which got almost immediately ripped from me because Beeper thought it was good idea to piss off Apple (... sorry, annoyed). When i joined the service was great, but the last couple months (basically since the iMessage drama) it has been weirdly unstable. I see a lot of encrypted messages (as in, the message doesn't receive properly and all the receiver sees is "message encrypted"), images failing, gifs failing, generally bad behavior when connection is poor, etc.

I was interested when i joined because i thought they were just going to offer a service i could pay for, like Kagi. Yet now this feels like another enshittification just waiting to happen.
Well, yes.

I mean, you could probably get away with just keeping the `Makefile` around. But for the stuff I installed from source, I was often interested in keeping the source code around anyway, for curiosity's sake. And hard drives are big, while source code trees generally aren't - comparatively speaking.
I think the precision wouldn't compare favorably to a controller, but not only because of less travel, but also because of the lack of a stable and consistent grip that you can have with a controller.
I was working for the NHS at the time. Peak lockdown for me was doing my weekly shop in Asda during the national weekly clap...

I had to queue to get in to the store because at the time social distancing rules meant only so many people were allowed to shop at any given time. Once the Covid marshal granted me entry I washed my hands as required with anti bacteria hand wash and put on my disposable gloves. I then proceeded to carefully navigate the store ensuring I avoided sharing an aisle with any other shoppers to avoid attracting the attention of one of the many Covid marshals positioned around the store ensuring shoppers were adhering to Covid policy. While shopping the tannoy system repeatedly reminded me that I must remain masked and to keep social distance from other shoppers. I walked over to the Pizza aisle to grab a Pizza, but most were sold out. A few remained though, however they were all NHS themed pizzas to support "our NHS". Then the tannoy system announced to customers that the weekly scheduled national NHS clap was about to begin and that shoppers were encourage to take part. I completely forgot about this... I'm holding a basket in one hand and 2L bottle of Pepsi in the other. Do I put down my items and wait for the national clap to begin or should I just continue shopping as if it's not happening? No, what am I thinking, not clapping is not an option. I put down my items and wait for the clapping to begin. Then we all clapped before proceeding with our shopping.

Good times.
Cynical but on point. My thought is I unfortunately don't trust Google for product launches because of exactly this. And I know anyone at startups might be thinking similar things.
Since they're already dead, it's arguably "never". Funerals exist for the survivors, and for the sake of society.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's pointless, and I also don't believe it is. But "too little, too late" does apply here. All respect to the people who do it...
That's a bit of my point. At any time your business model can get interrupted when you're doing things "that the big company isn't, but holds the gate to".

Big company might get more aggressive and make your life harder developing. Big company might get less gatekeeper and open up the gates so now you have more competition. Big company might do it themselves and add interoperability and now your product is almost useless.

It's a business model that works to get to some point, and then exit as soon as possible, IMO.
It’s kinda like adding lanes on the freeway: for a time traffic is nice but people get used to it and then more people start driving and it becomes just as congested as it was before.
I don't live there, have been there, had no problems and don't understand why you had any.
Transgender contributors to open source existed before you were born and will continue to exist after you die.

Just to be clear.
Which is still a far cry from "household name" by any reasonable definition. Most people don't care about keyboards.
Yes possibly there will be more fights. Anger is a fighting emotion. But that doesn't mean fighting is bad either. We often suppress fights and conflict, especially verbal ones, and avoid them until they accumulate so many facets and get so loud that we can't ignore them and then hit each other with years of grievances.

I think it's not only ok to verbally fight but helps us resolve conflict instead of avoid it.

And I think if we can resolve it at the verbal level it doesn't have to become physical.

But I think the cultural suppression of fighting/conflict is even deeper than the suppression of anger. A friend just asked for our definitions of peace and I said I currently believe it's a mythical concept where conflict doesn't exist.
I think they are too tall for the wheelbase. The design is narrower than traditional auto-rickshaws. I think one of the issues is I think that the battery is not heavy enough to stabilize the center of gravity once you start tipping over - instead of stabilizing, it probably makes it tip over faster.

I am not talking about crash testing or anything that sophisticated. Something as basic as the tendency to overturn is much higher. I have seen one happen right beside me, when one of the wheels went into a pothole, and the rickshaw tilted and overturned. A traditional auto (the standard Bajaj model ICE, for example) would have "jumped", but not overturned.

On this same note, the Bajaj ICE is slightly narrower at the top than the base, in a tapered design - this will increase stability.

Piaggio Ape is tapered towards the top and has backwheels turned inwards -

e-rickshaws show none of these features.

Beeper does plenty besides PR stunts (which seems to have paid off)
I see it exactly opposite. A Buddhist monk would learn to experience, feel, observe, and detach from their anger, not suppress it or shame it. This is more in line what what I think we need to do.

The more you resist the anger the more it will persist.
If all of these services fully open up there will be 100% free and/or open source clients available and Beeper won't be able to compete. Before all of these walled gardens we have tools like Pidgin and if they open up those will be viable again.
Yeah but Prometheus has a web ui where you can run PromQL queries and it'll give you basic graphs back, which is handy for throwing a quick query at it before putting it into something more long-term like a Grafana dashboard or an alerting rule.
USB is arguably much more complicated than 10base2 internet, which pre-dates it by a long way. In fact, if you're trying to use either PCIe or USB to connect to a 10base2 ethernet network, either of those will be far more work than the Ethernet side.

You might be able to persuade a FTDI-style USB device to bit-bang 10base2 Ethernet for you. You'd implement a "PHY" side which translates the wire traffic to a clean bitstream and aligns the frame start and then just have the PC handle all of it in software for you.
> Democracy is also vulnerable to the tyranny of the majority

Democracy is about the majority; and in Switzerland - in contrast to most other democracies - it's the majority of the real population, not just an elite class, and the people directly decide about real problems, not just who should represent them. And there are even provisions which assure that local concerns are sufficiently considered. You should inform yourself about this great political system.

> Using the legal system to prevent acute harm is both correct and reasonable

In the present case, it's clearly a misuse; it's a lobby organization with a lot of money that pro forma puts forward an association of old women so that with this sleight of hand the complaint is accepted by the court at all on a subject where the court has no jurisdiction at all. The aim is to undermine a democratically made decision against the will of the people, i.e. exactly the opposite of a democratic process.
There is an associated problem we've seen in screencasting

Heh and farming, even subsistence farming, is at the mercy of weather/climate, animal migration patterns, human labor and thus health…

Nobody has perfect knowledge of their world. All we have are heuristics that work well enough to get by. It’s by definition impossible to anticipate out-of-context events that barge in like the Vogons.

Excession by Iain Banks is a fun exploration of this concept. It’s set in his “Culture” universe, where a hybrid human/AI culture enjoys an interstellar empire. Excession imagines that powerful civilization encountering a phenomenon that is as far beyond them as they are beyond us, or we are beyond the subsistence farmer.
a career politician whose whole MO is by definition power mongering is upset that some other org is wielding power.

I’ll take corporate power that is predictable as it’s based on profit over political power that is unpredictable as it’s fed by vanities and human deficiencies any day.
Other then the good advice here, simply try not to have hundreds of dollars of food in your fridge at that day
traffic tickets must not be a revenue stream in California because they are not efforced. If they were a revenue stream, officers could hang out almost anywhere and catch violators at approximate no less than 1 per minute at nearly every intersection in the city midigated only by the time it takes to stop and register the ticket.
It is literally impossible for me to think objectively while angry.
Vouchers instead of service fees would be better.

Having finally achieved fiber broadband in a rural area, the main obstacle to build out is the provider being able to cover the initial cost.

Our new provider is a municipal broadband company. If the people in an area all had a voucher to cover the connect, they would have built into our area years prior. Instead, they had apply and wait for grants.

Vouchers would incentivize companies to build, as the more they build, the more vouchers they could collect on. It would encourage competition for the service.

Service fees result in this top down grant system that encourages no build out unless a grant is received, delaying build out.

The large telco in many rural areas is Frontier. They are terribly run and I think they have been in chapter 11 for years. In our area, you can see their lines are unmaintained with trees leaning on the lines for years now. The only time they do anything is when they get some competition in an area, in which case they'll do the minimum to make it unprofitable for the other company in that area.
> The fact that D1 still doesn't support replication is an indication to me that it has been deprioritized, likely with other newer and less used products, while the infrastructure updates are dealt with.

D1 is definitely not deprioritized. We're heads down on replication, and it's important for us to get it right. Takes time!
The article contains a rehashing of the xz attack, but also contains a discussion of for-profit open source/source available software.

The argument in the article, that there are greater threats to FOSS than security vulnerabilities, is reasonable.

I'd add that some large software companies have an incentive to make security vulnerabilities seem as scary as possible, because it makes them seem like they are doing important work. Seems like a viable approach to lobbying for laws that could lead to excess regulatory capture.
FYI it looks to be MIT/BSD license.

Separately:

>The Transformer model is evaluated in a deterministic and reproducible way. Hence the result does not depend on the exact GPU or CPU model nor on the number of configured threads.

That's neat. So even though it's "AI-based" its output is guaranteed to be the same for a given input?
Perhaps in applications like GarageBand which allow the user to play the keyboard like it was a piano keyboard, velocity / volume input can be sensed. Cool indeed.
Most modern anger is derived from helplessness. I don't get angry when I spill my coffee or someone cuts me off on my commute, but I recently discovered that I've been overcharged for my cell phone plan for the last 18 months and it made me seethe, mostly because I know that it's going to take a half dozen phone calls over at least as many hours to come to any real resolution, and that millions of people are likely in the same predicament.

Writing all that down made me more, not less, angry.

Let's say you're not too familiar with the genre, but you've been curious for a while and want to explore more. Maybe you played some Starcraft at a friend's house in high school, and that's pretty much it for genre exposure. And by you I mean me.

What games would you recommend for a newcomer in 2024? What are the genre-defining classics, and which ones still hold up? What's the recent hotness? The modern classics?
Bedbugs love fabric for hiding…many good reasons for the switch.
It's not about easiest to use but the way in which problems are handled. I am aware of case where something failed after being assured it would work by GCP ... when they got someone a GCP tech lead on the video call he started by saying it was all 'best effort' and that it might take several days to resolve. Ultimately it was fixed in 8 hours but that sort of laissez-faire attitude has led to the company in question making plans to go elsewhere.
