The DMCA ban on circumumvention has been both stunningly useless at discouraging piracy and effective at hurting normal users including such glorious stupidity as being used to prevent 3rd party ink cartridges.

Circumvention also absent the DMCA isn't illegal.

TikTok has failed for years to comply with US laws about not sharing data with the CCP, despite numerous warnings to do so and even a forced partnership with Oracle.

This is the final result of their noncompliance with local laws. Just as Twitter/X's noncompliance with censorship laws has resulted in their ban in China.

Natural gas is replacing coal for various reasons. If you are anti-coal, you are likely pro-natural gas whether you know it or not.

The economics of coal just don't make as much sense anymore. It's labor intensive, it requires much more future remediation at the generation site, it's burdensome to store, etc.
Gambusia to the rescue! Might need some cover to reduce the predator problem. Experimenting would be part of the fun.
an American corporation does in fact have some recognized legal personhood, and so a 'bill of attainder' could technically be found to exist within a legislative act which violates the legal rights of one.

And if AMZN was one of ten you would have 20X'd. It's just an extreme example illustrating the principle. Most people don't have 99x as many losers as winners, most winners aren't AMZN, and most losers don't go all the way to zero.
This is a key usecase for text embeddings. Essentially it is a process of converting sentences or paragraphs to vectors, where the closeness of vectors then represents a semantic similarity.

So you can convert all the paragraphs in your document into vectors, convert your question into a vector, and then find the e.g. 10 closest vectors, or all that fall under a certain maximum distance, etc.

You can store the embeddings in a vector database, to search across multiple documents.
Not really? HP, Dell, and Lenovo all offer QHD or even 4K screens on the premium business models I usually buy and have done so for awhile. They’re just less common on the used market since they’re not the default spec, 1080p is practically good enough for Windows/Linux, and QHD incurs a minor battery penalty. but an aftermarket QHD panel can go for as low as a hundred.

You can even find panels on new computers that smoke Apples like the 3k 120hz OLED on the Zephyrus g14. Apple’s screens typically lag behind the competition which is natural given they don’t make their own screens, don’t want to sole source, they are anal about QA, and it’s logistically faster & easier to ship a bleeding edge screen on some premium computer that sees a few hundred thousand in sales than the MacBook that sells millions.
People seem to forget that a lot if not most of IT has some form of military background/funding behind it.

Be it the first computers, the Internet, RISC CPUs, BSD UNIX and much much more.

You’re free not to like this fact of course, but then using the technologies anyway is a bit of a double standard.
I've debated doing that exact move as well, simply because I do enjoy making "incorrectly" designed code "correct", by either moving to a simpler model or utilizing a more tried-and-true way of doing things, and since no one wants to be in "maintenance" it might afford me some more freedom.

At a previous job, I would occasionally spend time on the weekend rewriting and simplifying code because there wasn't really a "maintenance" team and I knew the only way that it would ever get better was if I fixed myself on my own time. I've since drawn a line in the sand that I do not work for companies on weekends but I did sort of enjoy that process.
I don't get how this follows; no-one needs to be a secret anything, and the aim isn't even personal. Targeting "ideas rooted in fascism and bigotry" means to oppose the discursive ideas and concepts as they are put forth in the community, and the resulting concrete actions, that come from fascism and bigotry – specifically not the people or private thoughts.
This seems like an obvious strategy. Xbox's are basically high-end PCs already, they just need the software and more usb ports. Microsoft could corner the PC market even more than it does already.

Some people would still build their own PCs but I'm sure plenty of people would love a pre-built that doesn't suck.
Typical solution is to automatically exclude modified files from unity build. So when you edit only 1 cpp you build 2 first time and only 1 afterwards if you need to iterate over it.

Such solution introduces more funny failure modes into build though. People get quite irritated when no change edit in a single file breaks build :)
Tiered storage won't save Kafka but we built the exact same thing while thinking differently so we're better. Got it!
We really can't. Even if I reply with reasons, they will just be argued, ignored or downvoted by people who don't know what they're talking about. People only believe what they want to believe, or whatever a famous person says. (not to mention none of the people replying to me are providing any contrary evidence, just more spurious claims, but those with unpopular opinions get the downvotes)
You actually don't need to do that at all. It's common style in C++, but the language does not require it.

With the right techniques, you can absolutely forward-declare basically all of a class's functionality. Then you can put it into its own translation unit.

Members and function signatures have to be declared in the header, but details about member values/initialization and function implementations can absolutely be placed in a single translation unit.
Hey! Initially the project was not going to be open, since i included some payment integration and credentials and more stuff, but at the end i removed, so that's why i pushed in to a new repo to prevent to leak this information and obviously i have alot of bad code/commits etc, so i preffer to start on a clean repo.

This deserves its own post on HN because this is really neat.
People want them not to be advertised at official Nix events, not to bar them from using it. That wauld be impossible due to licensing so isn't on the table.

Would you require the FSF to accept a sponsorship from anyone and to advertise them in return?
100% agree. Microsoft owns the de facto premium gaming platform, but has never been able to execute on a strategy that takes advantage of it. The money snapping up studios would have been much better spent putting in an aggressive offer to buy up Valve.

We’re not. It’s a victory for national security. It’s a collective curtailment on freedom, similar to how we’ve agreed Americans are not free to finance terrorism.

I am afraid that AI tutors and teachers will slow down our progress in ethics and moral issues.

Model X trained on all our data thinks Y is ok and that permeates lessons here and there. Raising a generation that does not rightfully challenge Y as it should.

As a somewhat stupid example: had LLMs been invented in thr 1800's would they teach whatever topic with an underlying sentiment that slavery is a just and natural state?

Teachers and tutors have always been an influence in the formative years of younger minds. I am afraid of substituting that human influence bringing intellectual and moral challenges for a one-size-fits-all frozen in time pasteurized worldview.

To be clear: LLMs as educational tools; inevitable. LLMs as teachers - no, please

Let me know if this is a stupid feeling (and a feeling is all I have) or if it is too much of a Old Man Yells at Cloud thing
Strong evidence for a race of horse-headed aliens.

Cheap natural gas has been strangling coal generation for over 15 years now. There's a reason there are no new coal plants being built in the US, and it's not for environmental reasons. It's all about economics. Now that the power companies have reduced their coal generation by 50% they are taking the opportunity to market themselves as being "green." Hogwash. They're not green - they're going after cheaper power sources. Power sources such as natural gas, wind, and solar.

Notice what isn't in that list - nuclear. Nuclear in the US is simply too expensive and requires too long of an investment commitment for it to be attractive. So, it's not being done.
I wonder if there is a resource that tabulates wait times somewhere.

Anecdotally those wait times seem crazy. The PT one especially. I have 5 different pt choices in walking distance to me that can typically get you in next day or worst case a week lead time if you want a time block that is contended (right before/after normal business hours).
I just never use the word, and tell others not to use it as well. There are synonyms for whatever you’re trying to say, just use those.
In my view, Andreessen has always been more on the "hawkish" side - going back to 2016. He supported Clinton over Trump when it looked like Trump was going to be more Dove-ish on US foreign policy (ultimately he wasn't, but that was the general view during that era).

Just speaking as an American, my biggest fear with SV getting involved in the defense sector is that founders and VCs tend to be very opinionated about how their products actually get used, and I'd be worried they rug-pull key defense technologies away from the US military should be applied in a manner contrary to their interests. Maybe those interests align with mine, maybe they don't, but I can hold my electeds accountable: I can't do that with Andreessen or his "Gundo Bros"
You don't suck. Vim was built for a time when your TTY might take seconds to update. For example, a shell prompt over a modem. In those circumstances the number motions become more precise and less frustrating with such input lag. The other motions have similar commands and you chain them together, which again saves frustration with a painfully slow prompt.

These days things are (usually) fast enough you don't have to worry about exactness, but it's right there when you are experiencing a bad connection.

Yes, when you scope a movement to just the thing it's about, you'll get a greater intersection of people who can agree on those ideals (i.e. actual intersectionality). If you check https://stallman.org/ you'll see that he's very opinionated on politics, probably moreso than almost all people (he has multiple things he writes about across the world every single day going back decades and maintains a list of assorted topics that mostly have nothing to do with software where he thinks we should change the law[0]. He's encouraged many boycotts over the years, and goes way further than most people to stick to them), but he wisely kept that movement focused on the thing it was supposed to be about, and in doing so was able to actually accomplish something.

On one hand, I struggle to think that people might actually care about switching "master" to "main", as opposed to making wider improvements to inclusivity.

On the other hand, I don't have a strong attachment at all to naming a branch "master" and can easily rename it without a second thought.
With the upcoming death of the 3rd party cookie they have to have a way to continue to target you. They need a new unique identifier for you.

So they will test out requiring signup, and see how that impacts traffic and engagement. I would assume that in the end we'll find a balance between ungated content (from search) and gated (direct, referral).

It's that they sell surveillance equipment that's used at the US's southern border, the crisis at which is a hot political issue today.

In my opinion?

Use the LLM to create the first draft, then rework what it provided you so that you're sure it's correct and it's in your own words.

If you really want to just quote LLM-written text verbatim, do exactly that: as a quote, attributed to the LLM.
I just wrote up my experiences of using it for a week: https://austinhenley.com/blog/copilotworkspace.html

TL;DR: Copilot Workspace is a great concept. But the UX and framing is entirely wrong and sets the wrong expectation for users. The current prototype is very slow (5+ minutes for one-line code changes) and the generated code is often buggy or has nothing to do with the specification. It doesn’t help me understand the code. The generated plan is usually good. ChatGPT does a much better job in my head-to-head comparisons (assuming I already know exactly what code is relevant). I'm still optimistic of where it can go from here.

I recommend everyone sign up to try it and give the team feedback.
What about:

source <(cat .env | xargs)

or:

export $(cat .env | xargs)

And then:

unset $(cat .env | cut -d= -f1)

?

The last one unsets the environment variables that were set by the first command, ensuring they are not persisted beyond the current shell session.

If you are worried about forgetting to execute it, there are a couple of ways to work around it, depending on your case.
I think the main reason actually is that nix supports more than just Linux - notably macOS.

A list of ones I've seen in this thread or know of already:

* Ambivalent (conflicted)

* Factoid (incorrect statement)

* Bemused (confused)

* Peruse (read thoroughly)

* Travesty (distortion)

* Transpire (to be revealed)

* Literally (in actual fact)

There's also "beg the question" which is often used to mean "naturally give rise to the question" but I believe originally meant "assumes the answer which it is trying to prove".

This just isn't true. See "Transparency about jonringers suspension"[0] and also notice it's a suspension and not a ban. Note that Jon's post to reddit titled it a "ban".

It's wild to see how much hate Anduril gets from the same people who have statements supporting Ukraine in their READMEs or have licenses preventing Russians from using their software.

How can you demand support for Ukraine, but then get upset by the people who are meeting actual needs for the war effort?
I'm not arguing for or against a specie based currency just saying technology is available to overcome the issue of 'not enough gold'.
More and more blog posts that make it to the HN front page are content marketing.

Nothing nefarious about it -- it's just a deliberate strategy on the part of companies like Retool or Supabase or Fly or whatever to market their services to this target market.

I have no idea how many actual sales conversations it leads to, but it sure is effective at convincing many HN readers that those are cool companies selling cool things...

>Yep, of course you lose weight if you starve yourself

There is a massive difference between being at a calorie deficit and starving yourself. I don't even know what to say -- this horse has been beaten to death by countless thousands of people and it's wild that anecdotal evidence with a sample size of you is enough to justify theorizing an alternative to an incredibly simple idea that until a few generations ago, there was absolutely no evolutionary pressure to not want to eat everything you can.
Carryon bags - a fair amount of the time the airlines run out of overhead baggage space for the last people on the plane, and force you to check your bag.
I really hate the (apparently very popular) idea that we should be shifting responsibility away from end users and toward providers and makers of tools. From playgrounds to drugs to software, our society wants to force the suppliers to make things safe by design rather than requiring and educating end users on responsible use.
> Hah, role management for us is "create a role for migrations, and a role to do db things, and enforce auth entirely in the web app"

> I suspect we aren't alone

Honestly I'd be happy to spend the time learning the ins and outs of PostgreSQL IAM stuff, but there's two very good reasons why I won't use it:

1. Still need the "role"/user across other services, so I don't save anything by doing ACL inside the DB.

2. I've no idea how to temporarily drop privileges for a single transaction. Connecting as the correct user on each incoming HTTP request is way too slow.
> few people realize what it means to sit on a paper loss for 14 years. Not many have the mental fortitude to do that.

Partly why real estate is such a big part of most people's net worths (and covered by the OP): it's not marked to market frequently, so it's much easier to hold for decades at a time. If everyone had a ticker they looked at every day where the value of their house was updated real-time, there would be a lot more panic selling.
Yeah, there's definitely no putting this back in the bag on a global scale.
All technology has good and bad uses and you can’t hold the maker accountable for all of those. At some point you have to hold users and buyers accountable or just stop developing anything.

When a person uses a car to drive into a crowd, do we blame the automobile manufacturer? Do you blame Kali Linux when someone uses it to hack a remote system? What about Apple when an iPhone is used to call in a threat to a school?

Phreaking is dying but alive.
Nowadays it mostly is exploring Qualcomm chipsets and androids. Mediatek too, which is a much more open platform.

2600 meetings are still around and every first Friday so you should try to go!

As for operator/telcom abuse it is here and there. It’s not discussed as much but some things can happen but mostly since everything went to a “sim” card - that is not so much. Unlocking a phone if you consider it phreaking is active to an extent.

Lineage and alternative android systems are around too but I wouldn’t say this is phreaking per se.

In the 00- early 10s it was very much possible to phreak as Kevin mitnick did with CDMA operators - ran cloning was not so rampant but if you knew where to look you could find communities around it. Ironically not much was posted in 2600 magazines during this time. Gate keeping was and is still large for this.

Ss7 abuse is rampant and I would consider that phreaking it is still in use today.

The Wikipedia article is nice, but paints a more historical picture akin to what you’d read in a museum.
Obviously don't dox yourself, but roughly where do you live? I just looked up insurance premiums for Oscar Health and it was $2,000/month for one of the budget plans, so about $24,000/year?

It can be extremely variable between cities so I'm not saying that this applies to everyone, but when I checked against my NYC zip code, that's the number it gave me.

This is especially true for a lot of the people that got rich pre-dotcom bubble. Literally the easiest time in the world to make big money on dumb stuff. Then they could take that money and "buy the dip" post-war and post-crash. It basically describes all of these people.

And I've always found it intriguing that these people happen to get real libertarian after they get rich. It's beyond me how someone has such a blind eye regarding the luck that they had. Jim Simons is the only billionaire I've seen explicitly state that his success had a lot to do with luck, honestly addressing what his skills were that helped with his success.
I am also a big fan of Highcharts. It is not cheap though, especially for projects that aren't making any money yet
