Is this article really suitable for sharing on HackerNews? It's a ridiculously unfair interpretation of the news. It's basically "fake news", as in it's so slanted that it has negative truth value and will leave readers misinformed.
Not really a loophole it's directly stated as allowed in the 13th amendment. This is literally what it's writers intended

Sure. And aside from Powershell, which itself had to recreate a bunch of common UNIX idioms, which of those other command line interfaces are still in widespread usage?

The status quo is ugly but reinventing it is at least an order of magnitude more work than improving upon it.

All sides are lying, just about different issues. And the ones they aren't lying about, they're spinning.

Russia has been running a full-on information warfare campaign against the US (and probably other countries) for several years now. Meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans are running a full scaled civil war in the info arena. (No, it's not just normal election stuff. I've seen those; this is different.)

Everything is getting caught up in this. Vaccines. Federal Reserve interest rates. Energy policy. Pop culture. Everything. You can't have a sane discussion about anything without getting tangled up in the information war.
My girlfriend is from Spain and we very recently had our first child. Born in Spain.

My last name has a Norwegian “ø”.

My girlfriend has a Spanish “ñ” in her last name.

Here in Spain we decided to register the name of our child using simply “o” in place of “ø” for the last name that comes from me. For the last name that came from her we used “ñ”.

When we arrive in Norway we will register him there with the proper “ø” but here in Spain his name will remain having “o” in its place. Just like how I’ve taken to writing just “o” in place of “ø” in my name when ordering packages to be delivered to me here in Spain.

What we do about the “ñ” when registering him in Norway we will see. Depends on their computer systems. If they can enter “ñ” we will use that. If they can’t then he will have some replacement like maybe “n”. Either way, that part of his name will remain as “ñ” in Spain.
IPv4 is a great example, because the transition to IPv6, albeit slow, is happening. And that is an all-renewed protocol with a lot of previously impossible, awesome features. There is a way to do this right.
Though an attorney (and the attorney he hired) ought to know better about...well, just about all of this, TechDirt makes a weak point here:

Meta’s AI chatbot has no access to Meta’s internal moderation decisions. It’s just a probabilistic stochastic parrot, repeating a probable sounding answer to users’ questions.

Yes, and that is clearly labelled, I'm sure, when one goes to use Meta's chatbot. Or are we just supposed to assume that an attorney-by-trade knows how LLMs work, rather than the attorney assuming that the chatbot supplies valid answers?
In late 2023 a recruiter found me for a completely different job than I had ever done before. This was my escape route and I would have taken any exit path from software.

They found me from either LinkedIn or Dice. I had a US security clearance in hand and security certifications.

I remember years ago on here when developers scoffed with great arrogance and entitlement at the mere thought of professional certifications. Now many developers are struggling to find employment while I have choices they don’t have. The learn here is don’t let popularity and peer immaturity influence your career mobility.
I would feel safer if the people that use the 13th amendment in such a way were imprisoned themselves. I do not like the idea that people capable of such sadism are free to walk amongst us.
I believe many of the pyramid sites had temples and areas that were designed for human activities / ceremonies.

Google did a $70B stock buyback last year. Every year they are doing similar numbers for the last 5 years.

In 2012 they had $50B cash on hand. Today despite the buybacks every year they still have $100-150Billion cash on hand, while Comcast is only worth $150 Billion.

They could absolutely afford it now and most likely 10 years back as well without even considering financing the deal.

---

Google is just very bad at acquisitions, they simply are too risk averse and don't have the DNA.

Compare with a peer like Microsoft in the same time frame: bought Linkedin($24B), Github ($8B) Activision($70B) invested in OpenAI ($10B),
or Facebook : Instagram($1B), Occulus($3B), WhatsApp($19B).

Mandiant is the only acquisition of note since Motorola even that is pretty small at $5B.

I'm stunned to hear that the illusory truth effect might apply to social media, too.
Sprint could not have possibly reversed course because they had already wasted too much capital on a failed WiMax network and couldn't afford to build a competitive nationwide 5G network. Their options for raising more capital weren't looking good. New leadership or a different pricing model wouldn't have changed that reality.
True. You should look into Project Xanadu, which was created with seventeen original rules, one of which is the following:

Stop it. You’re either a paid propagandist, you are an unwitting soldier, or you are knowingly fighting a culture war. Just stop it’s gross and unbecoming. if you are being sincere, I apologize but you still need to stop. Stop watching videos like that that are meant to make you mad, ignore people who are just trying to steal brain cycles from you, and for the love of all that is good don’t go reposting them; you are benefiting the person in that video and giving them exactly what they want and in essence agreeing with their entire perspective. Stop it.

The good news is that we don't have to: there are alternatives.
I'm curious to see how this actually impacts the open source LLM ecosystem – today the top downloads are still models released by the big players (OAI, Google, Meta, etc) and it's unclear that we are really moving towards decentralization. ZeroGPU is a great initiative but will it be enough?
D3 is not an empty computer. It's a high level library built in a high level language that runs in a browser. You are very very very far away from "metal". Being able to do something in a few clicks or little typing is nice until you need to do something more complicated. Sometimes it's worth actually learning how something basically works. Sometimes it isn't, it's everybody's choice.

That's not really the problem. Yes, FDR broke the tradition, but he was the one exception who broke the rule, and there were plenty of mechanics to prevent him from retaining office if the electorate truly didn't want him.

thank you for posting this! I loved Ancient Apocalypse, very entertaining. It has been frustrating trying to find refutations of some of the theories/questions posed by it.

When the subject is brought up anywhere with experts it is usually dismissed with a bunch of ad-hominem attacks which is just not helpful for anyone trying to learn
Journalism is just as protected as political speech. Obviously - since opinion, propaganda and journalism has been intermingled since the very invention of the printing press or even since the first people learned to speak.

The closest you can get to reality is open source journalism, where the outlet also links to their full source documents and tapes, along with the digested news article. Then each and every member of their audience could fact check them. But no news outlet does this, instead they obscure and hide source documents, even though they generally are within the public domain. Even public broadcasters do this, although they shouldn't have any financial interest.
Thanks for bringing these topics up, I find the raft of evidence quite compelling. I also find it quite interesting how much pushback on alternative hypotheses there is from the mainstream scientists. I even attempted to have a conversation with GPT4 about the possibility that ancient humans created the pyramids, and it told me I was being RACIST! Like, what?

The thing that sells me, besides the erosion, is the absolutely astonishing artifacts that were left behind. There is no way I could be convinced that hand-driven bronze tooling was cutting diorite to a precision we would struggle to meet today, carving schists so thin you can see light pass through, absolutely perfect symmetry, and creation of granite stoneware with multivariate surface geometry that we'd be unable to do without a precision-destroying tool change.

I find the tool marks on the partially excavated obelisk in Aswan particularly compelling. It's like they had technology that could scoop granite like warm ice cream.

One person doing somewhat interesting research here and other ancient sites is Ben from Uncharted-X. He brings a lot of first-hand content and analysis of areas many can not access, though it is pretty light on conclusions (probably for the best).

As an example, this geometric analysis of a pre-dynastic vase carved from granite belies the capabilities of a forgotten generation of this planet's inhabitants: https://unsigned.io/log/2023_02_24_Initial_Geometric_Analysi...

Personally, I wish iMacs had built-in KVMs: with WFH being more of a thing, it'd be nice to have a giant display that I could use for personal stuff (iMac) and work stuff (plug in Macbook, PC laptop), and auto-switch between the two.

(I personally like the all-in-one solutions of iMacs.)

Ah, yes, I think I get you this time. (Is it just me, or does that now feel hideously clichéd from the LLMs doing that every time you say "no" to them? Even deliberately phrasing it unlike the LLMs, it suddenly feels dirty to write the same meaning, and I'm not used to that feeling from writing).

I still think it's a concern at least as old as writing, given what Socrates is reported to have said about writing — that it meant we never learned to properly remember, and it was an illusion of understanding rather than actual understanding.

(That isn't a "no", by the way; merely that the concern isn't new).
As expected, a bunch autists arguing in here.
Social media like Facebook might be worse to some degree, though, because media outlets don’t have hooks that are as strong and universal as those of social media — there are those with a disposition towards watching shows like Hannity, but the appeal is somewhat constrained, with those who hadn’t been watching unlikely to start watching without outside influence.

By comparison, people from all walks of like come to social media for a wide variety of reasons, meaning the top of the funnel is much larger. Social media also lends an air of legitimacy to posted headlines with the way it attaches familiar, trusted names to them (posters and commenters), which over time trains users to disregard legitimacy of sources. It can also nudge users away from intellectual engagement and toward emotional engagement, with how ragebait headlines tend to be the ones that get posted most often.

Of course, that’s not to downplay the dangers of “news entertainment” on traditional media, but I think social media is its own special brand of insidious.
There are some trading companies as well, I guess because it's ocaml adjacent.
I haven’t really used Windows on the desktop since the 90s but I DEFINITELY won’t be now.
TechDirt is reply-guy hot-take garbage, giving the most uncharitable take on the news as possible. I don't know why it gets posted here, either.
Interesting take. Libertarians, who are usually the ones most preoccupied with finding tyranny in any government action (or any government at all), tend to be big fans of negative rights as opposed to positive rights. But that's probably because they're coming from a different ideological outlook.

I think your argument drifted far of the point I was making.

Traditional luthiers still use animal glues pretty commonly. We can probably turn you into a cello if u want.
I don't like Excel, but 1) it is a true feature when used as intended in a finantial environment and 2) you shouldn't use Excel to fiddle with genetic data, learn proper tooling, you are supposed to be a pro. Still I think changing user data silently is an error.

This is known since at least 2004, with workarounds (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1471-2105-5-80), yet people still use Excel instead of learning a bit about proper data storage. In my lab I sent a mail with the steps to harden Excel against this "bug". Want to guess how many did it? Zero.

I mean, in this context I agree. But most people doing math in high school or university are graded on their working of a problem, with the final result usually equating to a small proportion of the total marks received.
The argument was to treat it like gambling.

Not to classify it as gambling.
First Google result for me: "No. Acrylamide from burnt toast, burnt chips, or crispy potatoes is unlikely to increase the risk of cancer. You might've read about a possible link between acrylamide and cancer. But there isn't enough good quality evidence to show this." -

So maybe this is a myth perpetuated for burned meat, too??

Indeed. There's also the issue of lean meat vs. high-fat meat - where the body needs and benefits from the fat concentration being there as part of digestion and proper nutrients, along with another significant difference between white meat vs. red meat consumption.
As another Pole I have to agree. Using anything but ASCII is setting up yourself to have to deal with this kind of issues at some point. JB might or might not fix it in the future, but besides them there are still going to be tens of different pieces of software that still fail to do so.
hopefully it will inspire many more to go into more decentralized directions!
I feel exactly the same - I've never been so pleasantly surprised by release notes.

Immediate wins for current users. And hopefully these builtin QOL features will make nvim easier for new users.
This is a bit depressing in that it reminds us there are many such obviously basic functions which still aren't built into all PCs, when they should have been a long time ago. Modern tech platforms are so impressively capable that it makes these gaps even more shocking.

I felt the same thing yesterday reading through Google's new features announcement for Android 15. A good third of the features were things where I thought, "How in the hell did this extremely mature platform still not have that?"
Plenty of places with extreme laws have terrible drug abuse, also.

And although the Z80 was popular, that $200 cost was non-trivial. Probably the whole reason the 8-bit world was split between the Z80 and the 6502 was that the 6502 was much cheaper.

Certainly. But nobody asked these particular people :-)
You should be able to exceed 6.3 stops if you are pointing north/south rather than east/west, right? Maybe they are just measuring it pointing north/south.
>Firstly, I never said sound methods ought to be used.

You kind of did say this: "soundness for some critical properties is absolutely warranted". It seemed clear that you were taking memory safety to be one of the "critical properties".

>if you cannot rely on it then your system effectively has no guarantees of any kind.

In the real world you cannot rely on anything absolutely. All guarantees are probabilistic. Rust, for example, does not have a formally verified compiler, so you cannot be absolutely sure that your provably memory safe code will actually compile down to memory safe machine code (or indeed to machine code that does what it's supposed to do in any other respect). Does that mean we need to go off and formally verify the Rust compiler because otherwise none of our systems will have guarantees of any kind? If it doesn't, then note that you are making exactly the same kind of cost/benefit analysis that pron is talking about.

It's easy to list lots of things that systems 'should' do. In a realistic scenario there is a budget of time/effort/attention/money.

That way, for a "normal human" it works like they expect, is technically correct, and doesn't trigger on backends fetching the resource.
Unless they fetch the resource with some headless chrome or such. Which, unfortunately, is rather necessary these days.
> The first idea was to change the username to one that does not contain Polish characters. It turned out that Windows does not rename the user’s folder when changing the username. Manually renaming the folder was not an option. This way I could corrupt my profile in the system.

I've pumped out many web apps using Svelte(Kit). I find it very good for rapid prototyping and exploratory programming. For example, I wrote a beat-aware video player in an afternoon or two (while I was learning Svelte).

Even if you are a single dev, you will probably find yourself interacting with other members of the community. (Maybe more so for a single dev?) I find the Svelte community quite responsive and helpful.

SvelteKit can handle both client and server parts. It streamlines a lot of the stuff most web apps need like routing. However, it doesn't include some other common stuff like auth and persistence to a database.

FYI: In the current voice chat available in their app, if you press and hold the white circle, it will listen for you until you lift your finger. This pretty much fixed my issues with it!
Travel far, see more.

Sometimes people riding bikes are in a rush (eg: morning meetings and commuting. [And no, drinking is not always a solution, in my situation it's a 30 minute drive or bike ride either way, and driving then costs $30/day and the time to find parking makes it slower. The drive Honda will be usually faster but has to be after 6pm, otherwise it is an hour to get home. This is a 10 mile commute I'm describing, and fir about 6 hours out if the day it's a traffic jam half of the way)
Investors don't operate charity funding to accrue value for the mutual collective benefit of some global system.

Investors MUST accrue ROI to their own account and/or that of their own investors, the limited partners. If they do not, they're done. Going bankrupt personally while providing huge value to the world at large is a TERRIBLE outcome for any investor.

Tesla invented great things that provide huge positive ROI to the global electrical system, yes. Nonetheless, giving Tesla 150k was a rather poor investment for JP Morgan. If Morgan had made many more such bad investments, he'd be bankrupt, and unable to fund any further value for anyone.
Oh, the luxury of having a continent-sized country entirely located on (and far from the borders of) a single tectonic plate :)
Wouldn't you want the option outside? That's the usual pattern with "I want to assign later."

Anyway, I haven't seen this type used in the embedded projects I've worked on, do you have an example? Maybe I can suss out the reason from that.
The sites are absolutely interesting, however unless pressed for time (usually because they're in the way of or uncovered by construction work) archaeological digs are slow going: the slower you are the more artifacts you can find, the better you can place them, and the better you can preserve them and the rest of the site.

Used to be people dynamited sites to get at stuff faster (also dynamite colleague's sites to undermine them). We stopped doing that, because it was stupid and wasteful.

Furthermore protecting and stabilising the site been a major focus of recent site coordinators, especially as the site has been opened up more for public visits.

If you want faster digs, fund archeological grants so there's more money to hire more people.
That's ridiculous.

"Prisoners with jobs" are becoming something more people know exist, as opposed to a niche dirty secret, which I think is probably a positive sign of reform rather than an indication of deeper normalization.
