Yeah I'm deeply disappointed that these so called "hackers" are so united on such a tired, pro-authoritarian view on the use of public space.

What does that mean? Because it sure reads like a euphemism for "non white".
This is exactly what we ask of neural networks and in the case of the game of life the article and paper show that yes they do derive the rules. Equally, we can expect them to derive the laws of physics by observation - certainly diffusion networks appear to derive some of them as they pertrain to light.
What species of panther ? Leopards definetly do, they even drag carcasses up trees. Lions, Tigers and Jaguars usually eat in place.
Depending on the intended use, copying 1:1 is kinda "useless" as well, as the picture is also included in the RFID chip. Some of those "quick entry" machines many countries are apparently are doing face matching between the person standing there and the picture embedded in the RFID chip.

You can actually read the photo from your passport with an Android phone. Some of the info in the machine readable area is required as a salt, so you can't do a remote scan of a closed passport.
Whatever lawyer wrote that should be fired. This poorly written nonsense makes it look like Slack is trying to look shady and subversive. Even if well intended this is a PR blunder.

Trying to build a frontend for all other services elicits an immediate grimace on a few levels.

All-in-one, swiss-army-knife solutions are never superior to dedicated tools; hence Unix philosophy, hence microservices, a lot of engineering thought reflects this. Introducing possibly-leaky abstractions onto everything you do gives shivers.

For another, introducing LLMs into every layer of your workflow is not a productivity panacea. It's a dangerous distraction at this point in my opinion.

The security implications of a single tool that you grant this much access give another moment to cringe.

It could be incredibly nifty, even useful, and my gut reaction would still be "hnnngh noooo." Near the end of the current version of the copy it claims Raycast to be "inspired by early command line interfaces;" I just prefer the command line interface, thanks.

I can't understand why this documentary hasn't been made yet.

However, if they're out there, I'd like to know why we don't get reports of treed carcasses. You'd think a dead sheep in a tree would attract comment.
I think these are ethnic lines, with the "white" population mostly in the South.

Everyone on the islands benefit from the full French benefit and welfare system and on top of that there are plenty of subsidies, which are in part targeted at the indigenous population, which is actually benefits a lot from the mining industry (a lot in the North where there are the majority).
As long as the investor class remains priapic around AI, the beatings will continue.
But we’ve all seen this play out several times across products in tech, they’re all popular until they aren’t. Netscape to Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer to Firefox, MySpace to Facebook.

There tends to be lag but once a real alternative appears and becomes more accessible people will leave.

As much as these corporate monopolies want to believe otherwise, consumers aren’t loyal when there is no competition.
Some areas had, if not fully formally, dedicated areas for graffiti.

As in, "we will leave this unadorned wall, and we won't clean up the graffiti unless it's truly an eyesore, and we won't chase you for it". The wall I most recall was close to quite utilized road, so yes it was very "public facing".

The end result was that it was the one place where I would see actually impressive graffiti, with competition to make better stuff, instead of random vandal tags.
In my old, small, place I went ducted because we didn't have room for splits. Cost AU$10,000 (US$6,600) for the whole house. Moved to a new larger place, got split systems for the whole house. Cost AU$10,000 (US$6,600).

If I had to pay US$6500 per room I'd be bankrupt. DOA, but they'll probably con some credulous investors on the way.
These same dads insisted I clean the wheel covers because my small fingers could get in the details better :-)

fr breaking things and making them not unfunctional is not the same as drawing on them. you make a great point. I really doubt that most of the people writing here have ever even painted the outside of the building they live in. We don't actually choose any of these things. But if we all DIY customised everything, we would actually have more agency. And I love seeing evidence of actual public interaction with things around me.
Graffiti tends to appear on every surface which is not actively guarded. Including beautiful historical buildings, and including private properties. "Public" walls are just a visible example of a property which nobody cares about strong enough, and nobody is held responsible for (compared to a private owner who often can be fined for keeping vandalized facade as it is).
Even my current stand alone firewall occasionally needs to reboot when I upgrade the SW. I purchased a Qotom that is a beast for the bucks with 10 ports and enough resources to run many other server apps. I expect to only restart VM's when needed rather than the whole box. I am religious about backups with a 3/2/1 strategy that includes a RPI in the shed within WIFI range for nightly backups.

YouTube search has to be one of the worst offenders.

It will intentionally insert unrelated videos into search results, in an obvious attempt to boost your engagement. And it probably works. I have no doubt it’s possible for Google (a damn search company) to make a more capable YouTube search, but it’s clearly not aligned with their interest of increasing some retention KPIs.
It's NOT AI, it is what we called it "Expert Systems" way back in the 90s

all LLMs are good at doing that type of pattern matching and assistance.
Semantics... you can call it what you want and I actually agree that it was in the SU's right as a winner of WW2 and occupant of East Germany, but the point is that the US cannot be accused of the same thing (like you did in a perfect display of whataboutism), because the US pumped massive amounts of money into the West German economy, which then made West Germany a much more thankful and valuable ally to the US than East Germany ever was to the Soviet Union.
>They looked too big for a dog

Aren't larger dog breeds about the same size as big cats? Looking it up, a small English mastiff is larger than a big leopard for example.

An escaped dog seems far more likely than an escaped big cat.
Everybody can see the difference between graffiti art and graffiti vandalism. No need to look into the story behind it. Most people appreciate beautiful graffiti and hate the ugly tags and other untalented crap.
I said that the 57% was for recreational use right in my original comment. I think it’s fair to say that what the weed legalization people really want is legalization for recreational use. And also that people who are only okay with legalizing for medical use are at odds with the weed legalization movement overall. Heck, even I don’t have a problem with marijuana being used as a treatment for glaucoma or a pain killer for cancer patients.
Ideally condo associations, not local governments, would decide whether to allow Airbnb and under what rules. The condo owners in a building would weigh the problems you mentioned against the revenue they can earn.
Using an actual rainbow seems a bad idea. I will try to set up a Viridis (or similar perceptually continuous) color scheme next time I dabble in lisps.
That just sounds like the free market at work.
No idea about the UK, but in Brazil, in a highly populated area between Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais and Santa Catarina, in the mountains where rainforest is still preserved (Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira), it's know that there are big cats (locally called onça). This video shows some great footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeDfeGR_kxI

I lived in that area most of my youth (but not in the last 20 years) and was outdoors a lot. I've never seen one of these animals, and didn't know anyone that had seen one (except for the rare dead animal found in the woods, or live animal that got trapped somewhere like a farm shed in some faraway farm). They're absolutely masters in not being seen... so I don't doubt there could be a few in the UK and nobody manages to get a good look at them.

EDIT : for those saying the big cats are dangerous, to my knowledge they're extremely shy and stay the hell away from people. I would be surprised if they've been known to attack, let alone kill someone in the last several decades (they talk about that in the video, but it's in portuguese).
Don't forget your large serving of ads for crime shows. Love hearing about the great serial killers /s.
Perhaps, ours had a gazebo, vegetable garden, dozen or so trees, and a very long rectangular path we mowed for access and it managed well. We spent some time getting it clear of rocks and divots though.

Who even cares about Google "hype" anymore? Will this be available to use in Europe before it gets shutdown? "Available in 2031, North America only"?

I always enjoy those conversations with middle aged cyclist who fill up their jersey and then talk about how they shaved off 200g somewhere. Dude if you didn't drink all those after ride beers you could shave off a lot more than 200g. This is why I refuse to wear jerseys. Ahahaha.
If I remember correctly that was a result how the fallout was transported via the jetstream - and if it did rain, hence a rather non-uniform distribution. The first fallout cloud went from Ukraine over Poland to Scandinavia but it did not rain down. A second cloud went westwards over then Czechoslovakia and then southern Germany, hence the impact. The German Agency for Radation Protection has this map of Caesium ground contamination in 1986:

https://www.bfs.de/SharedDocs/Bilder/BfS/DE/ion/notfallschut...

The mushroom thing is because of bioaccumulation: Mushrooms seem to ingest the particles from its surrounding ground/ground water, hence a higher concentration of radioactive material in a smaller volume. And then wild boars eat those mushrooms, concentrating it even further. Caesium 137 has a rather short half life of only 30 years, but through the process of accumulation/concentration still today meat from wild boars shot in that region gets tested and is often over the allowable limit to eat.
Would it still be funny if it was a swastika? Or the n-word? Is that also a part of your glorious fight against evil capitalists? If not, why is it any less legitimate? Clearly the “community” must want it there if it was left up.
It seems we're approaching this from different angles. My concern is that the general public often doesn't realize how impressive CGI can be when done well. This lack of awareness fuels a negative attitude, allowing studios to underpay VFX artists and enabling the Oscars to consistently disrespect the entire VFX industry. A prime example of this disrespect was when they interrupted VFX artists' acceptance speeches with a cocaine joke, instead of letting them thank their families.
I don’t think you’re fully getting what they’re trying to say. They’re not asserting that dividends and voting rights are somehow inextricably linked or that you can’t have one without the other.

They’re simply listing the two things they think actually provide any real value when owning stock, as opposed to ”line goes up”.

In other words, they’re asking why owning stock has actual value. They dismiss ”line goes up”, which only leaves dividends and voting rights. By that logic, if you aren’t paid any dividends and you don’t have voting rights, what is the point of owning the stock, except to gamble? That is what they want to know.

And then I think that what you have been saying, correctly in my opinion, is that ”line goes up” actually does have real value. But no one is trying to claim that dividends and voting rights aren’t separate things.
> Trains have these things, called 'stops' and then different people get in or out depending on what journy they are on.

Yes, I’m aware of this. And if you have enough population density, which most of Europe does, you can have frequent train service because enough people will have overlapping trips at the same time that they can share a rail line.

The advantage of a highway network is that a single vehicle can simply take the fastest route from point to point all by itself even if relatively few people are traveling that route. Germany is about the same land area as Montana or New Mexico. Those states have populations of about 1 and 2 million, respectively. Germany has 84 million. Texas has twice the land area of Germany and a population of 30 million. So yeah, if you’re going just about anywhere in Germany there are probably enough people going the same way at about the same time to make a train a reasonable solution. That’s not going to be true in the United States. And even Germany has the Autobahn, which was decades ahead of the American highway network in sophistication.

> At anytime I can check an app, tell it where I want to go and I almost certainly have reasonable connection within the next 15 min.

I live within a 15 minute drive of just about everywhere I need to go on a regular basis. Why would I wait that long for the train when I could just be there already?

> If you want to see what single rail corridor can do in a city, check out Münich S-Bahn for example.

I’ve ridden the Munich S-Bahn, it was great!

One person’s squick is another person’s squee.

In a chronological feed with following and retweets people will form echo chambers. There are a few kinds of content that do well in that environment (cat pictures) but outrage, clickbait and such are at least 2/3 of it.

I’d imagine most people find Kiwi Farms somewhere between “not for me” and reprehensible but there are enough people who do want to be part of that community that it is a community. The argument that you just “shouldn’t go there” doesn’t hold water because the members of that community use it as a base to harass others.

To be specific, I have a model that can predict the comment/vote ratio for a story on Hacker News given the headline and things that are very high scoring are almost comically clickbait (right now in that feed I see “Panera Bread is phasing out its 'Charged Lemonade' drinks—why consuming too much caffeine can be dangerous”, “Why Apple’s ‘Crush’ ad is so misguided”, “Porn for women: Can it really be feminist or ethical?”)

An algorithmic feed can be like that or I could draw articles off the bottom of that list where you’d find papers about physics and molecular biology that might get 117 votes and 3 comments. (I made that model because I was posting a lot of those and people were telling me I should be posting things that people want to talk about…. I made the discovery that HN users really like to talk about cars)
There's a fascinating snippet relating to this in the book Rise and Kill First by the Israeli national security journalist Ronen Bergman. Apparently faking passports could take months, at least in 2010 for the Mossad. Traditionally the Mossad would call off operations if they didn't have enough fake passports, but the new director decided to cut corners and reuse passports. This contributed to one of their most humiliating failures.
Non-archaeologists find historical objects, and as a former midwesterner, I can assure you that you need no particular background to be able to see tornadoes. It would, indeed, be very suspicious if _only_ those interested in archaeology or tornadoes claimed to observe these.

Part of the problem is the source data. In one example the article mentions a battery is 680MW and has 4 hours of discharge. But most of the source data is a LBNL Interconnection Queue report that does not have that data available (the Council of Economic Advisors seems to be using this). I know the source report does not have this data because it is not published in the report and the lab does not have it (I’ve asked them).
No, this is completely wrong. If we own a public structure together, then neither of us has any right to change it except if we both agree to the change. You can't take individual actions on shared goods: you need a process of attaining the consensus of everyone involved (such as voting).
You might also want to look into the effect of vibrations in the room where your experiment takes place.

Looks great. I don't want to sign up to try. Instead I went looking for images (or a demo) page but didn't find any. The images on the frontpage and in the template galley are too small to see the details. You should make some high res pictures of the templates available.

I would also suggest you to promote the link to the template gallery so i appears on the top of frontpage. The template galley seems to be a good way to display what your app is all about. You should make the template gallery easier to find for new visitors. Good luck!
- alternative culture is born or aglomerate around internet hub

- hub tries to monetize its audience, rightly so for sustainability of the platform. Server costs, management, moderation etc etc.

- it takes just a few years for hub to become a corporation full of clueless corpos who have no idea about the initial culture and core audience.

- hub is bleached beyond recognition because corpos are scared of anything that is slightly controversial - including the original culture hub was about.

- "That's not family friendly! We also need those ESG and DEI labels to attract investors! The advertisers won't approve their brand associated with this!”

The current term for this is "enshitification" right?

- hub dies, culture might disperse, corpos get their golden parachute and latches into the next big project.

It seems to be a very common story. Reddit, DA, you can think go a lot of examples. It WILL happen with big Mastodon and BlueSky instances.

Function pointers are easy if you typedef the function type.

What a pointer to function (int) returning int?

The difficult way:

int (*p)(int);

The easy way:

typedef int Func(int);
Func *p;

The typedef reads just like a normal function declaration except for the name is the type name rather than the function symbol name. Just like a function declaration, you can add more documentation by giving the parameters names. e.g.:

// used for some hypothetical allocator API
typedef void *Alloc(size_t size);

Similar trick can be used for pointers to arrays (just typedef the array type). Although in practice pointers to arrays just make for awful code.
You're thinking like a language designer rather than a black-hat hacker :)

> All resources in a capability system are designated by capabilities, just like all objects in a memory safe language are designed by references.

The problem is that data doesn't begin life as a typed object but as a string of bits. I.e. it passes some "IO barrier" between the outside world and the world controlled by the language. At some point, some code must assign those bits to an object, and this code could be vulnerable.

> If a user has a capability to some resource, they are by definition authorized to access it.

This is defining whatever the program does as being correct, but that is not what we usually mean by correctness [1]. It's like saying that anyone who has obtained root privileges is, by definition, authorised to have them.

I fully understand the point about what is attainable and what isn't, but this is another example of my point about how some who think about correctness focus on what can be done without properly considering how much what can be done is worth, which is defined entirely but what needs to be done (or what's desired). The thing that I, the application's owner, want is not to have my data protected by a programming language's type system or, say, by means of a fuzzer but to have my data not leak to people I don't want to give my data to. In the case of security, the attacker would always go after the weakest point, whatever it is, and the question is by how much you've reduced the chances of a successful attack and at what cost.

Saying I can't give you what you want but here's what I can give you is perfectly fine, but how much what you can give me is worth to me depends entirely on how much it covers what I want. The value of reducing the chance of a successful attack by 70% is the same regardless of the means by which you achieve it, and then becomes purely a matter of cost.

I fully understand the difficulty of judging probabilities, but you need to understand that that is the sole source of value in correctness. But what I want is to lower the probability of some failure as much as possible for my $100 of investment. I don't care how it's done. That means that debates over assurance methods should be grounded in that question of cost and value. What makes an assurance method better or worse than another isn't how sound it is but how much it costs per unit of value, which is fault reduction (obviously the cost isn't linear). Soundness is a technique for the purpose of controlling value and costs, which may be more or less effective depending on circumstances. The point is that it's a means not an end.
