Police in the USA routinely destroy houses and other property of innocent people by accident (they made a mistake about an address or person). In many cases courts decide that the victim receives no compensation.

If that's how it works for obvious cases of incompetence and obvious easily quantifiable damages of physical property, there is no chance they will do anything about digital.

> Consider this: markets exist in supposedly non-capitalist countries. They existed in the Communist bloc. We've got cuneiform tablets describing markets going back 5000+ years. Capitalism didn't create markets or a market economy.

A market economy is one where resources (commodities, labour, services) are distributed primarily via the pricing mechanism, prices can be set freely by market participants and the market is generally open. It isn't merely an economy where markets exist.

Your examples were not market economies. They heavily restricted market access through guilds, hereditary jobs, serfdom, feudal law and trading licenses. They fixed prices through price edicts and decrees. On top of that, the majority of the population were subsistence farmers who also made most of their tools themselves. This means that the vast majority of resources were not traded in a market.

I always thought DOS got the backslash from VAX/VMS, a question which this article seems to avoid asking.
Facebook & Instagram have had tons of Congressional scrutiny over the past decade, the problem is they never really did much to fix issues with the platform as a result.

The mere fact that these social media CEOs are building vast bunkers and amassing billions of dollars highlights the issue that they are literally shoveling value out of these platforms into their own pockets, and those of their investors, while preying upon the instincts of all their users in a deeply psychological manner.
I'm talking about your example with double hyphens. It's the initial double hyphen that causes the first letter to be uppercase.
I don't think GPT4 is the top LLM, it's good at coding and good at understanding poorly written prompts but its high level prompt following and creativity are not great. GPT4 likes to answer a particular way and when your question matches up with that it'll seem very smart, but when it doesn't the rails it is on are very obvious.

If you want to read it literally, no. They can't "go back" without deciding to do so, which would be continuing to choose what to do.

If you read it as the common English phrase "there's no going back", no. It's just a thing people say in place of something more dry like "I will continue doing this for as long as I feel I should which I currently think is a long time or forever but saying that would be a bit ridiculous".

Let's say there's a new residential block with 12 homes one mile away from another place with service from your network core

If the ground is alright or there's poles, you deliver at 15 to 20k/mile to the demarc at the building. Spend 5k for a stub or 20k for a regular connection that allows for extensions like the one you just made. Then spend 750/home for connections+CPE. Maybe extra money for IP addresses if you don't do CGNAT.

If you bill 50 a month and have no issues there you spend 7 years recovering your money before you make any profits.

Nietzsche said something similar, I believe he advocated picking 100 books and just reading them deeply, thus curating by not reading every junk book that came along. But can't find the quote where he said that, or his list.

The global optical business is on the order of $100B in annual revenue.

Reversing or preventing myopia has less economic support, but research continues.

> it's not very much relevant whether it's -2 or -6

Smaller corrections can use CR-39 or even glass, with high optical quality. Lenses for larger myopia corrections become too thick with CR-39 material, requiring "high index" plastics. These have more cost and optical distortion. Smaller corrections are also more amenable to contact lenses.

I'd loved to be in the room when those decisions were made. I can almost imagine some arbiter hearing the arguments from both sides, and then, to the horror of everyone, deciding that if they can't agree on a common value, they'll have to meet half-way.

OTOH, skimming the Wikipedia article, it seems to me that overhead in that system was proportional to message length, so perhaps length of 53 bytes was still meaningfully better than 64 bytes.
I do wonder how long until the average consumer starts considering “VC-backed” as a curse rather than a blessing. Is there merit in advertising my small-scale tech services as “Not vc-backed. Our business model is to serve you, not to sell you out to our investors”?
The observation that graphic hardware and general purpose CPUs converge and diverge is not new: http://cva.stanford.edu/classes/cs99s/papers/myer-sutherland... .

Ask HN: Why do generative AI fail ignore parts of the reqeusts?
I have a lot of fun playing with different generative AI
text to image processes.

They all tend to focus on parts of the text supplied as a description
and leaving other parts ignored.

"An emperor penguin sitting on an ice throne wearing a flower in her crown playing Nintendo"

Will give me a penguin, with some ice cubes, sometimes a flower, never anything to do with gaming.
A longer description tends to leave more objects out of the result.

I understand not getting the objects right, but I dont understand leaving objects out entirely.
Yet it seem to occur on many different text to image platforms with different models.

Being completely ignorant of how these things work, I would have expected part of the process
early would be to separate out all objects in the instructions given to feed them for rendering.

The parsing might even happen prior to the text to image prompt sending the instructions down to
the model.

The same is true when I ask for programming scripts as well.
It system often just leaves out things.

It would be helpful with: "I am sorry, I dont understand this part", or "maximum complexity reached,
some instructions left out"

Hopefully someone explain the basic process so somebody most ignorant about how the systems work.
Surprisingly, skill plays a part in recruiting, too ;)

You're not _always_ looking to fill a position where good junior people can fit - that reduces the pool of acceptable applicants.

(In theory, the market dynamics are supposed to eventually match expected skills vs desired benefits.

I hope I'll soon get my passport to go live in theory.)
Ok, good enough for you? All work is transactional. But I've fired high paying clients and quit high paying jobs because I didn't want to put my stamp on their politics, religion, or simply what their business model was extracting or selling.

I'm serious, have the balls to tell them you won't work for them because you consider them immoral. Take a stand. Something else will come along.

Having said all that I think if you don't quit then having an in-office protest without resigning is pathetic; it lacks the honesty of giving up your paycheck and reeks of entitlement.

I will simply point out that there is no genocide, in fact or in law, and that to smear the Israelis for that is particularly nasty. And on the other hand, support for an immediate ceasefire ( the central demand of these denos) is indubitably a pro Hamas position, so my point was not a slur but a statement of fact.

But your point on HN etiquette is taken, and noted.

> (despite the flight landing in EU, which is all it takes for EU legislation to apply)

There is a second condition, which in your case (Condor) seemed to fulfilled, though:

> EU air passenger rights apply:

> If your flight arrives in the EU from outside the EU and is operated by an EU airline

(Emphasis mine; source: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/passenger-right...)

I recently ran into this when I was flying from the US to Europe with United and they canceled my flight and put me on a different one that arrived half a day later. -> Nothing I could do because I incurred no tangible costs (no additional hotel stay etc.) other than losing time and starting work the next morning completely jet-lagged.

It really is beyond me why the EU holds European airlines to a much higher standard than foreign ones which, effectively, works as a subsidy for foreign airlines flying to/from Europe.
> like default forced vsync, forced double buffering,

A few things:

1. Vsync-by-default is the norm. X11 was the outlier.

2. Wayland does triple buffering, not double buffering.

I dunno, I wrote Wayland applications and I did not notice any peculiarities w.r.t. the event loop, at least in comparison with other platforms like Win32.

You need to expand a little more.

>window positioning

I suggest to read up on the Gitlab MR for the in-development window positioning protocol. The basic TL;DR is that window positioning has certain implications regarding tiling window managers and other unusual desktop usecases e.g. VR.

...So what you are saying is that you'd need a separate server running. Thanks for telling me that X11 is unsandboxable.
>The idea that your population can be "programmed" in the first place is the antithesis of american ideology.

The fact that you might be programmed to hate/dislike/fear China despite, I'm guessing having never been to China, is proof that America also programs you, just in another way.

I do argue that the IT is the architecture. We have pretty much had all the data that these LLMs were trained on for a long time. The game changer was the architecture not the data. Unless of course you are on the code is data camp ;).
how quickly you’ve leapt to cognitive decline betrays an underlying ageism

This is a belief I've developed over years, I used to believe the same as everybody else - that social etc factors like raising kids got in the way.

But its too universal within pop music (and I think some other fields mentioned in another comment) to be explained as anything but age-related cognitive decline - which by definition will be "ageist" if you want to resort to that sort of language.
> I don't know about these stats, but if they are true, they are very telling.

You can look it up easily. There's a nice graph on Wikipedia where sexual crime in Sweden is steadily climbing since mid-2000s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sweden-crime-1976-2016-ro...). For added credit you can overlay it on top of immigration rate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Statistics_Sweden_(SCB)_a...).

> Maybe some of these immigrants are violent psychopaths,

I don't think they are violent psychopaths. Probably some of them come from low quality of life where this crime was not prosecuted but encouraged by peers. Or adhere to a religion which has its own legal system in which rape by a male against female from another religion is not clearly illegal (especially if in that religion murdering someone not adhering to that religion guarantees you heaven in eternity).

> Yes, there is a problem with sexism and sexual violence across most of the planet, and yes it needs to be addressed.

Sure, and world peace too right?

Forget platitudes, it is a fact that this type of crime (like any other) is worse in some places and better in others, and in some places it was better but is getting worse.

I'm a bit disturbed by state of the US finances. I'm really disturbed by the political response to those finances. Nominally the Democratic party is committed to modest tax increases in the same way that the Republican party is committed to modest spending cuts.

It would be nice to see either party advance in any way towards those commitments. Whenever either party has the opportunity (i.e. control of Congress and the Executive) to do anything they invariably either cut taxes (GOP) or increase spending (Democrats) or both.

Fiscally only a divided government moves closer to fiscal sensibility.

That's the point.
Anduril is largely an outsider attempting to disrupt "the military industrial complex" you speak of.

To put it more bluntly, Tolkein was British. He lived through WWII. What other country in the world can you think of that has, would or even can fight as the UK's "protector of freedom" in the way that the US has?

Amazingly, even in the case of the Ukraine war, which is right at the EU's border, it's America that's provided the most support. Even Korea has done more than many EU countries have.
So they essentially repaired 'hardware' from 22 light hours away, that's just insane! I love engineering.

javascript is king.
For your home network, you might like Mozilla SOPS for secrets storage. You can keep your secrets in an encrypted file and have a container that loads those secrets and puts it into each service's environment variables. At least that way you aren't committing plaintext secrets to source or having them laying around in the clear, plus it's a breeze to manage and edit them.

I personally like Mataroa and smol.pub a lot. No nonsense, absolutely minimal spaces to put your thoughts on. I'm not in it for the money, and Mataroa fills what I needs pretty nicely.

I think you missed a couple of bits in the article:

> the above only works because Element has an id getter & setter that 'reflects' the id attribute … It didn't work in the example at the start of the article, because foo isn't a spec-defined attribute, so there isn't a spec-defined foo property that reflects it.

This is where the distinction is made between merely setting a property on a JavaScript object, and cases where you're actually calling an HTML-spec'd getter that has side effects.

The whole "reflection" section of the article is dedicated to how these HTML-spec'd getters and setters change the behaviour from the basic JavaScript property operations shown at the start of the article, and how it differs from property to property.

"LOL", I suppose.
I mean, I think that was certainly an accelerating event, and probably the immediate trigger to move for many, but its other problems had been slowly building, anyway.

> Society has decided that closing down large employers is a cure worse than the disease.

This sort of thinking is exactly why companies like Boeing get a free pass to do whatever it wants. Local govs protect them like the mob because "jobs" and then Congress panics every time they see the market only has 1-2 options for national security stuff and then reinforces monopolies that slowly eat away at the country's competitive advantage for short term relief. And all were left with is the same small group of untouchable, completely mediocre mega corporations living off past glory when there was actual real competition and risk.

Every time you kick the can you just delay getting the medicine you need. Then instead of having a wildly successful company making new products and dominating the global market - which is something employees and govs benefit from via salaries/taxes/local development, foreign competition takes those jobs or protectionism creepingly increases the cost of doing business because a dying corpse is propped up. Then employees get squeezed and suddenly the mega corporation is getting billions in welfare. And the public gets worse and worse products, which impact other industries that depend on them.
Right, so reliability is mostly unrelated to the percieved mechanical or physical complexity.
It would be nice if this story more often were told from the perspective that the friend also has agency. Maybe the friend eyed the odds and thought:
