how was this not just an exercise of checking the law or amending it for fraud / false advertising with a result like, "a service has to state the actual cost up front and not require the person to calculate a bunch of stuff in his head with 5 equations for 10 competitors before he can even compare them". you can't say "$30/mo" and then put a star once you click 3 pages deep saying "(for the first 3 months)", because that makes it practically impossible for the buyer to compare prices, gating it behind some stupid fucking address entry form that breaks 80% of the time. it's simple fraud and nothing else. you write: "price: $30/mo and then $70/mo after the first 3 months"

and i bet FCC spent 100 million dollars making this

and can you even access these food labels before entering your address? (and why is it not mandated that they provide a list of zones and prices per zone?)

a number like "total latency" is just complete nonsense, as its not a real metric that can fit in one number, and the kind of number marketers love to abuse.

and nothing about what kind of modem the ISP is compatible with. is it cable, adsl, fiber?

wifi extender and battery backup? because someone in FCC needed to work his full shift so he added those during his time? i'm not going to compare isps based on what random bullshit they bundle in, i only care about the actual service. anything more than 3 variables is too much. modem rental is important since they fucked up the chance of having open standards so hard that most people practically have to rent a modem. i guess FCC can't be blamed, they aren't techies or whatever.
I couldn't help but hear this in my head in the voice of Montgomery Burns.
As someone who was very active answering questions on SO, I can say that duplicate or low-quality questions were a pretty big issue on the site. It might be fun to answer “what does * do in a Python function call” once; it’s quite another to answer that same question a dozen times. “Mark as duplicate” is an important way to keep the workload down, and to centralize questions around a single high-quality source of answers.

People also forget that answers are not set in stone. Answers are editable - if an answer needs to be updated for the latest version of a framework, or it’s been obsoleted, just add that to the answer! Low-rep users can suggest edits, while higher-rep users can just go in and edit them. Its not uncommon to see the top answer have an edit pointing at another answer for some newer version.

Centralizing around a single deduplicated answer also has a major benefit: multiple answers can gather on a single question. It’s not always the case that one particular answer works for everyone, so try different answers and see what works (and upvote the ones that do work!)
You’re describing an edge case which will arguably prevent the imaginary second person from succeeding in college even if they get accepted.

Instead we should leave criteria merit based and invest in social programs that give the high school student in question ability to be a student instead of a parent and caregiver
StackOverflow is a great resource if your question is "How would I have done this particular programming task back in 2012?"
I'm very curious if this works. I'd like to have this product, but so far it's hard to find independent assessments and (long term) side effects as well are unknown. Also I think it's unclear if a one time treatment is enough or if it has to be reapplied regularly (e.g. after a professional dental cleaning).
I disagree that there is a problem to be solved here. If you do not like the reality of digital media and the ability for media to be copied indefinitely, find a different business model, instead of trying to get your preferred restrictions placed on everyone.

The MPAA/RIAA spend millions of lobbying dollars on trying to preserve their business model, to the point where non-US countries are required to follow their self-interested, business-model-preserving rules or be excluded from international trade deals.

If physical booksellers did the same thing, they would be ridiculed into silence by the sheer absurdity. But because it's opaque technical measures, backed by mega-corps, it gets a pass.
We are super excited to be implementing what the community has been asking about for years. It's what drives our core team.
Shortly after, same guy invented "RTFM"...
In the linked answer? It had most of GNU's coding standard quoted.
We use their earlier Mixtral model because it outperforms llama for our use case. They do not release full models for marketing purposes, though it definitely grabs attention!

Modern society has problems, and they should be addressed. Yet there will always be issues to address, problems to resolve.

Yet these schools exist in one of the freest societies that ever existed, with untold riches in terms of health care, prosperity, and quality of life.

Ask someone from 1800AD about antibiotics, vaccines , cars, computers, electronics and electricity. The advantages of a modern state are astonishing, and all come at the feet of modern universities.

Heck, metoo, the woke movement none of that could have ever existed without decades of courts ruling on the rights of the individual. Quite literally the woke movement's mocked boomer narrative was astonishing, as the woke movement would have never been given room to breath in 1930.

Boomers enabled the woke movement.

We have our society, those that came before us to thank, not belittle. And yes, we have our own things to fix.
Nice, I love that it involves no backend and no libraries. Seeing some problems on an iphone 15: after i enter a bet, it zooms in, and i have to manually zoom out again
False dichotomy between smart phones and "dumb" phones is what leads the article.

I'd start with recasting the comparison as small, portable, radio-enabled, opaque computers which can be used poorly as phones (most people don't spend most of their time using them as phones) and devices engineered to serve as phones, which poorly do other things. For me, the comparison is between a smart phone and every other computer and computing environment I can engineer and use. I also have "found" access opportunities. I have lots of options.

I don't own or carry a smartphone; my wife owns a smartphone but oftentimes doesn't carry it. We've got tablets, desktops, and private servers. I carry a flip phone with tactile keys, which I seldom use for calls. I use it for SMS-based 2FA; I have TOTP on a laptop and a desktop.

My phone cost me $10 to purchase, $20 a month for service. It goes three for four days without charging, and I can turn it off (handy for my secret life as a spy). I'm a certified UI / application consultant for an IC SCADA platform. If I was speccing mobile / portable platforms for an IC / field use application, I would consider smartphones but there are better options allowing for numerous nonfunctional requirements, interfacing with e.g. bar codes and RFID, usability in adverse conditions, ruggedness, etc.

Biggest downside is that tiny screen, and the lack of any alleged "mobile" interface which supports it. To the point where I have rolled a couple of (server based) applications myself to access a contacts database and a todo list, although that's pretty much an "emergency use only" situation.
“Goddamnit, I forgot the syntax for doing a for…in and assigning both key and value in this language, yet again, and my first two guesses were wrong”

Searches, clicks docs page, greeted with 20,000 words about flow control in the language, only the eighth example of for loops has what I want

Searches, lands on SO, what I need is one screenful below the fold, done

The only strong counterexample to this pattern I can think of is everyone’s least favorite language, PHP, because of its combo of narrow-focused docs pages and community posts on each filling in any gaps and pointing out any weirdness or features that exist but should be avoided.
no doubt this is on purpose from whoever coined the acronym
Sure, but there’s more than one answer listed. If the right answer isn’t clearly up to date, try a different one, or sort by recency if you want to see newer answers.

And, if the accepted answer is hopelessly outdated, suggest an edit to add that caveat so others know to skip it.
I am actually surprised libGDX is still getting updates. I used it around 2015 for some game jams, but already the community activity was waning. Seems like development activity picked up post pandemic.
It's not even been an hour...
Sure. I don't recall seeing one, but the near-inevitability of this is why I didn't assert they don't exist.

Rarity speaks to how poorly suited the material is for building durable fences and the ~irrelevance of the cost of plywood in this subthread.
You're not wrong, for sure. I hope this happens, too.
But it's still more than most "experts" are capable of.

Unless things have changed since I last looked, if those you talk to aren't also on iMessage, it feels like a net negative to use as you get inconsistent/negative behavior between contacts. From that end, it becomes sort of a moral issue with the clearly arbitrarily locked gates and poor experiences. So you disable and use a non-malicious and cross platform solution.
Eh, this is like "first draft of a design document" level detailed.

The big issue is that it's a protocol, not a system. I.e. it's detailed only because it specifically _does not specify how to build anything_. Were they required to actually specify how to build something, i.e. a server that implements this protocol rather than the protocol itself, this would be woefully insufficient.

How are the mappings stored on disk? Does this entire protocol genuinely lack authentication? How is this meant to fail over when a server dies? If it's distributed, how do the nodes reach consensus?

You can't just jam stuff like this into a doc:

> Also, each update is preferably performed atomically
> to avoid creating an inconsistent state in the string Store.

They're just handwaving away how the data gets stored. Y'know, the part of the patent that's actually useful and does something.

What's left over after you discount the parts they don't specify is basically just a wire protocol for a KV store that doesn't exist. They might as well try to patent a method for making imaginary mittens for imaginary friends, because that's basically what this is.
Ha! I always thought "case in point" meant "the whole case demonstrated in a single point", as in, the small argument that summarizes (and hopefully answers) the whole overall question.
I'm saddened to see such disgusting ablism at the forefront of HackerNews. More evidence that SV is filled with close minded fascists. These are people, not useless eaters.

Given my experience with HN this type of criticism is high likely to result in scrutiny by the admins. The biases on this site really need to be re-evaluated.
> it's got 20+ page of this technical implementation details

Yeah fantastic, like an entire page devoted to showing requests that have numerical identifiers. Groundbreaking stuff.

And it's all completely irrelevant noise because you can infringe on the patent even if your implementation in no way depends on any of those details

The only thing that matters is the claims, and they're written so broadly and interpreted by the courts so creatively that a subject matter expert cannot read the document and determine if something does or does not infringe on it.

Seriously, how does Claim 1 not cover 99% of HTTP requests ever made given that people were using reverse proxies and passing requests between backend servers for decades before this patent was filed?
Get both on a 30-minute call and ask them to prioritize the tasks.
I'm assuming you've helped estimate each task? If not, this is an excellent time to present it to the PMs. Unfortunately, I don't have a holistic view of your workload. This should reduce your anxiety and provide transparency to all involved.
That is indistinguishable from not respecting robots.txt. There is a robots.txt on the root the first time they ask for it, and they read the page and follow its links regardless.
Weird strategy from Hashicorp. The amount of code that they claimed was infringed is tiny. And from what I can tell, is not algorithmically significant. It's such small ball.
Show HN: CodeFusion, use LLMs with large codebases (with token context in mind)
Manually copying and pasting code snippets is tedious. CodeFusion allows you to easily select and merge specific code files across your codebase into a single, cohesive prompt block so that you can stay within LLMs token context budget.
The trouble is that there are a lot of situations that could be causing that.

Is the coax line leading to your house in good condition? Is your ISP performing some kind of maintenance on their local infrastructure? How new is your modem and what does it support? What about your router? Ethernet cables or wifi? What about the computer that's interfacing with it, is that the bottleneck? Is all the relevant firmware up to date? What is connected to your network and what is it doing?

I have high end networking equipment that's all kept up-to-date and I generally get a bit higher than what is advertised.

If you have poor quality or old modem and router, they're never going to be able to handle 500 mbps down.

Rule #32: Enjoy the Little Things
Furthermore, at home we have a VOIP service which lets us plug in a 900 MHz traditional base station and we have real "phone type" wireless phones around the house.

The VOIP service costs $20/month for the deluxe service which includes call history, NoMoRobo, two numbers, selective ringing, forwarding to mobile, and the list goes on.
Isn't that how previous models were, before the attention is all you need paper?
> provide service to everyone

They can't or don't want to. Too much of the US is too rural for cost-effective near-universal wire/fiber broadband access.
WTF?

Every time I use a smartphone I almost throw it out the window. The UI absolutely sucks. Then there are things like samsung edge or whatever, so when you even touch the phone it starts changing pages and clicking.

Mobile sucks.
Yeah, that's why I was careful about my wording. Without excluding the possibility that many people were truly doing nothing, I see this pattern all the time as companies get bigger:

* project is done to 85% effectiveness by <= 1 FTE

* company is flush with cash, and can hire someone to backfill that last 15%

* new person is not fully occupied backfilling that 15%, and therefore *finds new things to do*...which creates more projects that are done to 85% effectiveness

* goto step 1

Also, of course, as companies mature, they inevitably start moving down the cost-effectiveness graph, and taking on projects with lower and lower expected value. There are all sorts of reasons for this, ranging from valid ("this effort might pay off 10x"), to pathological ("if my team doesn't grow, I don't get a promotion").

Anyway, shovel enough money into the boiler during the "hypergrowth" phase, and you can easily end up with lots of people who are all very busy, but just not productive.
This specific problem is certainly not one for all on-devices AI processing. As someone else mentioned, there are unique UX and browser constraints that come from serving large compute intensive binary blobs through the browser (that are almost identically shared by games).

Separately, having to rely on preinstallation very likely means stagnating on overly sanitized poorly done official instruction-tunes. With the exception of mixtral7x8, the trend has been the community overtime arrives at finetunes which far eclipse official ones.
I’m not sure this is related or not but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about complex objects (engines, computers, software, sewing machines, etc), it’s that every _custom_ thing you do to it has some kind of order of magnitude impact on the overall complexity of the machine, and thus, you should avoid customizing it. At least if your primary concern is usability vs solving specific problems.

It’s definitely served me well in a wide variety of disciplines.
ProtonMail solved this using email aliases so you never have to give out your real address. If you get spam on one you just redirect it to your spam folder.

>What are the advantages compared to GPT?

It actually does what you tell it, and won't try to silently change your prompt to conform to a specific flavor of Californian hysterics, which is what OpenAI's products do.

Also, since it's a local model, your queries aren't being datamined nor can access to the service be revoked on a whim.
If both have high priority, it's the same as both have low priority.
"Mercenary spyware attacks, such as those using Pegasus from the NSO Group, are exceptionally rare and vastly more sophisticated than regular cybercriminal activity or consumer malware"

So, maybe even provoking an Apple warning to those targets could also be part of a sophisticated operation.

These targets react or have to react in a certain way. Instigate to lure people out of hiding and entice them to react, even if only to observe their behavior.

What do these targeted people do then? Switching phones? Accessing certain digital services, warning their network via conventional lines?

From an observer's perspective, this is pretty thrilling.
No one remarks how trite and formulaic the frescoes' compositions are. They are painted as if from soap-opera re-enactments performed by actors bored to tears. Evidently whoever commissioned the frescoes couldn't tell, cared less, or could do nothing about it. That who paid for them was Aulus Rustius Verus, a local politician, tracks. The mosaic floor of 3 million tiles with no more decoration than a double black line around the perimeter tracks, too; probably rugs covered most of it.

These are lavish trappings of a slave-keeping society. The slaves could be compelled to paint and lay mosaic tiles, but not to care. They were anyway able to ensure viewers would know. Moderns working in advertising will understand.
But how do you suppose that putting people with less academic merit in those positions will create better outcomes? On one hand there is the lived experience of being in the underclass, which might cause someone to be less supportive of tech authoritarianism from the consumer surveillance industry. On the other hand personal benefit fuck-you-got-mine is a strong attractor regardless of someone's past, and I'd think that more "privileged" people could be more independent and better at pulling in a different direction than the overall group behavior.

I don't get the supposed security aspect of getting false time. Hacker gives you 1980-01-01 or 4096-13-32 and mess up CRL and ruin your day...how.

Years ago I've tried privilege escalation exploit to play with a phone and it involved rolling back date to unexpire signature, so I know there is exploit potential, but it... it just feels like RTC bootstrap problem should be something solvable.
Home network, albeit a complex one. I did deliberately disable IPv6 on my LAN, because configuring and administering a dual-stack LAN is more hassle than I'm willing to engage in. The cost/benefit of doing that just isn't favorable for me.

All I really need is to be able to accommodate IPv6 on the internet side, which I can currently do.

That's the message they got in summer 2023 when iOS 16.6 was the most recent one.
README files is the first thing I read in any source code repository. I’m noticing a trend of less useful readmes in projects. Often they are bare or provide outdated and incorrect information. This makes the introduction to the source code harder, and increases the barrier for new contributors.
I have to wonder whether in the coming decades we'll have types of nature preserves or botanical amusement parks where you can stroll through entirely bioluminescent fields (small fields!) of trees and shrubs. Not unlike Avatar, but maybe not (yet) so strongly vibrant. :)
Stack Overflow was never about helping people out; right from the start.

It was a response to searching the internet trying to find a solution to your problem, ending up with a forum thread with three pages of discussions, and the OP coming back with "nvm i figured it out", but no solution. It was always about long-term documentation. Go read some of Jeff and Joel's old stuff from 2008-2009; it uses exactly those kind of examples.

And stuff like this:

> I think repetition of answers is healthy.

Yeah ... try answering questions for a few months and come back to me on that. I was never on Stack Overflow to be an unpaid tutor, to "teach the next generation", or to be a free debugger-as-a-service. Most people aren't.

And no doubt Stack Overflow is far from perfect, and that at times people interpret the rules (far) too strictly, but this is the same ol' bollocks that's been doing the rounds since 2008, mostly propagated by people who have rarely spent any time answering questions.
Love doesn't always come in the form of flattery or praise, and if you took that as an assault or even an insult (which TBH it wasn't) instead of pointing out the limits of your knowledge, then that's a shame.

I mean, it's pointless to compare the size of our intellectual capabilities on the internet since we don't know each other, but perhaps I was wrong for a second that you might have actually wanted to "get some value" of the comment of "author has a lot to learn".
The other aspect of patents that folks are omitting is that in order to get a patent, the applicant has to publish their recipe. In most cases, this will be strictly better than simple reverse engineering because more participants can then use the IP once it expires (as opposed to those with the means and desire to reverse engineer it).

Patents are a two-way street where society gets something in exchange for granting a limited-duration monopoly.

Courtier demanded assurance king could not be prosecuted under new Welsh law
It was an act of desperation. People wouldn't read docs or sanely named information, so people would jokingly title something "readme" or "important" or "mefirst". It was kind of seen as pathetic originally, to have to be so bad at your job you needed to include a README file. Those were much more arrogant times. I still remember seeing repos that actually said it was a good idea to have a README file in them and being bemused.

Now I love them, but I've grown to love simple, "dumb" solutions.
Some scrapers respect robots.txt. OpenAI doesn't. SP is just informing the world at large of this fact.
