Sag-AFTRA union secures AI protections for artists in deal with record labels
Um, no. In general, if you tell someone to stop messaging you, they get to send one more message to react to that and tie up the conversation. "OK. You still haven't addressed points A, B, and C, so I still disagree. Let's wrap it up here then." That's perfectly reasonable and polite.
It depends. It's better than nothing that can be ^C'ed.

Here's a naive, partial implementation that runs in <500 ms so long as there's an existing dnf cache:

command_not_found_handle() {
local pkgs
readarray pkgs < <(dnf rq --whatprovides "$1" -C --qf '%{name}\n' 2>/dev/null | sed '/^$/d' | sort -uVr)
if (( ! "${#pkgs[@]}" )); then
echo >&2 'Command not found and no package provides it according to the dnf cache'
return
fi
echo >&2 'Command not found, but offered via the following command(s):'
pkgs=("${pkgs[@]/#/ dnf install }")
echo >&2 " ${pkgs[@]}"
}

Japan takes theft seriously; you can go to prison for stealing small change, or lose your job for cheating at self-service coffee.

It's severe, but I don't know what degree it's a waste of public resources. People like the rock-bottom crime rate. On the other hand, word is that Japanese police are not great at investigating more well-planned crime. A trend has emerged in recent years of professional criminals basing themselves abroad and using social media to recruit naïve/disaffected people for the manual labor part.
But you can’t buy, since selling is illegal.

Ok, so you realize now you lied, and the poster never claimed it didn't make sense. That was thin gruel already, they made very clear their complaint was about usage, i.e. the part of adjectives is half their comment, that the LLM poster themselves noted.

Given that, do you still believe the huge, unedited, LLM explanation of "flagship" was responding to someone?

If so, who?

If not, I'd like to avoid normalizing spamming long, child-like, auto-generated, explanations of things to prop up straw-men in service of condescending.

A message board where that was mundane, everyday, behavior wouldn't be fun to be on.

I might enjoy it if I think someone deserved it, but I'd still balance that with the long view, because that sort of behavior is extremely corrosive.
I was in Google Patent Litigation, and we actively collected old stuff, for possible use as prior art. I even went to Beryl Nelson's house before she died to collect her old Bell System Technical Journals.

A lot of old stuff has no value to anyone. That can be hard to accept, but it's true. Even old wood furniture -- no one wants it. Old PC or Byte Magazines? Forget it; they're all over.

If you say that Lula is communist, you do not know what is communism. All your replies goes in this direction. I doubt a lot that someone was banned because just posted "he is socialist" (even if in fact he is more an adept of the more general labor movement, but could be considered a weak form of socialism). People probably is banned for spreading distorted information or for disrespecting electoral laws. If you say that someone was banned JUST because said that he is socialist, and the person have no relationship with the organized spread of disinformation during elections, nor commited any other infraction, then you indeed would have a point. But I doubt. I could post "Lula is socialist" in Twitter and I doubt that this would annoy someone, this is not even an offensive thing. Moreover, it is not Lula but the justice court that ordered the removal. Most of the court is composed by the same judges that ordered Lula to be imprisoned and denied several of his appeals to be freed in the recent past. And the electoral justice is the same that already forbade Lula's party of using materials that remembered that Bolsonaro supported the military dictatorship saying that the material that despicted simulated torture was too graphical to be used in electoral propaganda.

I recently installed Chrome OS Flex on an old Lenovo laptop. It's really quite snappy. I did it mainly out of curiosity. It was easy to install and bring up for the first time, and it's not loaded with crapware.

For a lot of home users, a "the browser is the new OS." If they're doing everything with cloud apps, then they really don't need to interact with a conventional desktop very much. Assuming they don't run Windows software such as games.

Battery life is no different than it was with Windows.

Linux mode was easy to set up, and hard for me to damage. ;-) And it doesn't seem to do anything to the Chrome OS machine, so you can wipe it and start over without re-installing the entire machine. Jupyter Notebook runs just fine, so I'm pretty much all set. Jupyter is practically my OS these days.

> 2. Inventory (houses that are for sale now, not just total stock) is at historical lows. This is bc of interest rates going higher - nobody who has 3-4% fixed rate locked in will sell (until they have to). The shortage that people refer to is not a shortage in homes that exist, it’s a shortage of homes for sale.

This is a way bigger than non-homeowners realize and is keeping prices high. I would love to sell my midsize (slightly under 2500 sq ft) for something around 3500 sq ft and maybe a little bit bigger lot. I’d pay something like an additional 50% over my existing mortgage for a property like that. Online mortgage calculators show that I’d pay around 2x-2.5x for that property now. I know play the worlds smallest violin for me but this affects people downstream who are looking to become homeowners.
The best part about hybrid work and, even more so, fully remote work is the benefit to the business’s productivity. The ability to lay off or replace employees without ever meeting them in person allows for rapid adjustments to the work force and faster replacement of low performers. Better yet, replacing employees with AI solutions is much easier and more convenient without worrying about a physical element. The APIs for the AI based workers have effectively been established already.

I think it’s very brave of employees to recognize the writing on the wall and help make themselves more easily replaceable.

I remember in the past you had to show id at the gate as well as at security.

The way they do it now I think you can show up with 2 tickets, one in your name for getting through security and another under a fake name for where you actually want to go.

Pop into a bathroom behind security, do a costume change to confuse security camera forensics after the fact, and you get away clean.

And if you somehow manage to get your real name boarding pass scanned but not get on the plane (I don't have a foolproof way to do this, but it's probably possible with some luck) then they will spend a lot of time looking for you at the destination you never went to.
> To be precise, the report excluded studies of blockers for not being blinded, in a recreation of the 2003 review of parachute efficiacy

No, studies were excluded for being of poor quality per their rating on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, which is a tool used to assess the quality of non-randomized studies.

You can see the review authors' scoring of each study here: https://adc.bmj.com/content/archdischild/early/2024/04/09/ar...

Those excluded have a NOS total score of 4 or less and, as this table shows, a score that low is for multiple reasons including not having a representative cohort and inadequacy of follow-up.

Housing can always use becoming more affordable. Perfectly affordable housing is when an ordinary worker without a university degree can buy a decent single-bedroom apartment in just some years of saving (which sounds totally unrealistic so there always is room to improve). I've read it even is hard to rent a decent apartment in Japan because they always require huge deposits only the rich can afford easily.

There are homeless people, at least some of them not particularly happy about being homeless, also 30+ yr. old people having to live with their parents - means housing is not affordable enough.

Show HN: Solve "How to find numbers that add up to a target" once and for all
I recently came into this problem myself and found the same question has been repeatedly posted online.

A common workaround is to use Excel Solver. But it has two major limitations:

* It can only handle up to around 70 numbers at a time;

* It supports only one target sum at a time.

So, I developed a Google Sheets add-on called "Add Up To" in the hope of solving the problem and all similar ones.

If you're facing the same challenge, check it out at https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/add_up_to/10202...

It's completely free for now and may become a paid add-on with a one-off fee in the future when it becomes more mature.
It's called class solidarity, which the wealthy are smart enough to have and everyone else gets grind culture and crab bucket mentality instead.

So I had many of the same concerns regarding Windows 11's nonsense when it came out, but I sat down, learned how to clean it up, and put a Creative Commons open source guide for others to follow. I knew many other reluctant friends who are senior devs at prolific companies in the tech space, and with my guide they seem to have no real remaining complaints.

It covers both the initial installation, as well as all my post-install recommendations. It eliminates I believe all the tracking, adware, suggestions, Cortana, feeding the Bing/ChatGPT machine, telemetry, etc. Absolutely nothing breaks. No need for a Microsoft account. It should be straightforward and to-the-click/keystroke.

I just saw another vendor’s core network router and firewall product rolled out to replace cloud native routing.

It uses public IPs by default with open ports to the Internet to route previously internal-only isolated networks. It uses “military grade” 96 bit encryption (lol), and similarly had a nine-point-something CVE in that endpoint.

It was forced upon us because apparently it was vital to encrypt the VM-to-VM intra-cloud traffic that was already mostly HTTPS. This cost merely millions of dollars and broke a bunch of stuff, slowed down that which it didn’t break, and had several brownouts and outages in just a few months since it was rolled out.

IT security is mostly snake oil sold by con-men.
Unbased defamation, threats, and spread disinformation against elections and candidates, specially during elections always was illegal and subject to removal of content in Brazil. This even benefited Bolsonaro, when a person who posted a threat against him was criminally prosecuted and when the justice forbade merchandising material for a punk rock show because it referenced the fact that he was stabbed, and the justice considered incitation to violence.

Again: if you say that someone was jailed just because posted "Lula is socialist", which is not even an offensive thing, you are the one who should prove, as nobody, presented any proof about this. But probably it was someone involved in crime or investigation that the far right is using to defend the ridiculous thesis of "brazilian dictatorship". Moreover, it is not Lula, but the justice court that ordered the removal. Most of the court is composed by the same judges that ordered Lula to be imprisoned in the past and rejected several of his appeals to be freed.
Literally nothing about that comment makes sense. The bullshit stench is strong.

I believe the IS-1 was a better tank. Certainly more powerfully armed.

I was misled by slanders to believing the Sherman was at best mediocre and at worst earned the sobriquet "ronson" when it was survivorship bias: people lived to say how bad it was where other tank crews simply didn't come back. That said, it needed the up gunning to the British weapon which made the firefly. British tanks started bad but got better. By end of war they were pretty ok, and survived into the modern tank era sold on to other nations in volume and for engineering uses.
Yes? You say that like it is an unreasonable position, but if you add energy demand and supply side together technically you get the entire economy and a fair amount of stuff that isn't even measured in money. The DoE isn't a bank. That is an absurdly wide field of interests.

If you look at, y'know, energy use in the US [1] then desalination doesn't even rate a mention as an energy sink. The biggest source of waste by far is the 66% losses during energy generation and in electricity and transport. Realistically they should be focusing on the supply of energy.

And to be fair they probably are. I'm repeating myself, but this looks like the bureaucratic equivalent of someone with a bee in the bonnet and nobody could be bothered to tell them no.

Don't agree. If you look at the opening of each section, there's prohibitions against 'the act of transferring, delivering, displaying for the purpose of transfer or delivery, exporting, or importing, a device [which allows subversion of some kind][...]' and similarly for transmission of software or the like.

All these verbs relate to some sort of commercial transaction, rather than the modification per se. My read is that you could modify it freely, or even write an article documenting the save file format and how to mess with it. It's the act of commercializing the process that makes the difference between a server ban and an arrest warrant.

The ship comment is just as child-like, and it came first. So while I don't think AI comments are good in general, I think in context it wasn't egregious. If we're trying to filter toward good discussion, then jvanderbot's comment should not be treated as much better than the claude comment.
