That's a round peg in a square hole. As ive seen them called elsewhere today, these "plausible text generators" can create a pseudo facsimile of reasoning, but they don't reason, and they don't fact check. Even when they use sources to build consensus, its more about volume than authoritativeness.

What is the right to object?
Article 21 of the UK GDPR gives individuals the right to object to the processing of their personal data at any time. This effectively allows individuals to stop or prevent you from processing their personal data.

An objection may be in relation to all of the personal data you hold about an individual or only to certain information. It may also only relate to a particular purpose you are processing the data for.

Processing based upon public task or legitimate interests
An individual can also object where you are relying on one of the following lawful bases:

‘public task’ (for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest),
‘public task’ (for the exercise of official authority vested in you), or
legitimate interests.
An individual must give specific reasons why they are objecting to the processing of their data. These reasons should be based upon their particular situation.

In these circumstances this is not an absolute right, and you can refuse to comply if:

you can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the individual; or
the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If you are deciding whether you have compelling legitimate grounds which override the interests of an individual, you should consider the reasons why they have objected to the processing of their data. In particular, if an individual objects on the grounds that the processing is causing them substantial damage or distress (eg the processing is causing them financial loss), the grounds for their objection will have more weight. In making a decision on this, you need to balance the individual’s interests, rights and freedoms with your own legitimate grounds. During this process you should remember that the responsibility is for you to be able to demonstrate that your legitimate grounds override those of the individual.

If you are satisfied that you do not need to comply with the request you should let the individual know. You should explain your decision, and inform them of their right to make a complaint to the ICO or another supervisory authority; and their ability to seek to enforce their rights through a judicial remedy.

Of course the RISC-V situation is changing very quickly. By around year end we'll have SoCs with cores 2-3x faster than today (2x in IPC and also higher clock speed). And more big surges in 2025 and 2026 as things such as Ascalon and Veyron and others hit the market in mass production.

All my points stand

* VimFX still works in the latest release of Firefox

* If random people on the internet can square it, so probably could the Firefox team, they didn't need to keep all features

* They decided to handicap their addons to match Chrome, because "security" and lost users

* Chrome is now doing the same

> ...but I the impression that this means that pretty much no extensions from the 56 era will work any more. Look at VimFx’s changelog...

The changelog shows a fix this month for the firefox 127 this month, the current version is 126. And the readme clearly states firefox-esr 115+. You don't get more working than that

> WebExtension era, extensions almost never break

Any other recent extension needs way more maintenance to keep up with the constant evolving of the WebExtensions apis. And you can look at their logs. Years to partially catch up, and much more work for worse user experience

> ..they had too much access to browser internals..

All apps have to much access, that's is the same lame excuse Google is using now. All extensions are reviewed by Google/Mozilla and manually installed by the user. If they can't keep them safe hire someone who can. Especially Chrome that already has APIs for random websites to access USBs, filesystem, etc..
I actually have been using Benthos quite a bit recently. I have even contributed a little bit to the original project. This is a massive turn off for me. I'm really going to have to wait and see how things go before I keep using it, but I probably wont :(
RyanAir's business model is hyper-aggressive penny-pinching on basically everything that allows pinching pennies.

The costs are so high because they want to really really disincentive people from using staff for this kind of thing, so on average they won't have to hire as much staff.

This is one reason why some RyanAir flights can be as low as €20 (whereas e.g. KLM is €200 for a similar or identical flight).

On bigger airports it's not a huge problem because you can typically use the machines, which are free.
I revisit heroku alts every ~6months and I am shocked how not ergonomic they still are, I switched to DO VPS + Ansible Container & Github Actions for any project that doesn't need infinite scale after Salesforce paused heroku development but I'd go back to literally any heroku clone.

Show HN: Algerian Tech – Startup Directory Algeria
Hey HN,

I’m excited to share a side project I launched a few days ago called Algerian Tech. This platform aims to list and showcase all the tech startups in Algeria, providing visibility and support to the emerging tech scene in the country.

Looking forward to your feedback and suggestions!

It's a face saving move. They decided to just kill the thing less than 2 years after the launching. But people got angry, and having regulators look at them is way more expensive than refunding their customers.

That said, yes, they will probably also make the process as hard as they can get away with it. Anyway, have some popcorn, this one got quite interesting.

Stop playing dumb. The contradiction with your initial assertion was clearly articulated. Try addressing it instead of baiting other posters.
Maybe branding/brand recognition? Outside of tech circles, it's likely that very few people know anything bad about Altman, compared to the hundreds of millions who know about "ChatGPT."
I'm a bit skeptical about them actually being recycled though. How many of the appliances are recyclable? What parts of them are vs what ends up in the dump? Everything I've heard - and admittedly I haven't looked too deep - is that recycling is mostly a sham and mostly just ends up as waste either here or shipped overseas for someone else to deal with.
It's mostly about avoiding the latency penalty. There's only so much ILP you can extract from the instruction stream before you get stuck waiting for a dependency. If you started executing that dependency speculatively, it will complete earlier, so you can launch the next instructions sooner.

That lets you speed up single-threaded execution more by adding more functional units (since you can't really jam the clock speed any more).
Ideally, the reactor would not need service until end-of-life (e.g. ~10 years). That way, it can be encased in concrete and buried.

You prevented any possible discussion of dissent or disagreement by ignoring readily available proof and stuffing it under what I'm going to politely refer to as rationalization.

Don't you dare pretend like you're adhering to guidelines or standards of any sort, this forum or otherwise. The grandstanding is cute, but it's only fooling yourself.
Yeah, so basically, you want to spam the world with nuclear waste.

> ‘I selected spell check and the application crashed’ is sufficient in many cases - and is a bug report.

Ooooh, that really depends on context.

If that came from someone who isn't part of the team, who isn't knowledgeable in the information needed to diagnose the bug, ok. If that's actually how to reproduce, ok.

What really happens is that the crash depends on running in an XYZ environment with a document that's exactly 200 letters long and the 3rd word needs to be red. In this case, ‘I selected spell check and the application crashed’ is quite unprofessional. QA is responsible for figuring out what combination of inputs creates the crash, or if that's not possible, documenting that it's really ‘I select spell check, the application crashes 15% of the time, and I don't know why’

Otherwise, someone providing that as a "bug report" isn't a team player, and it's up to management to train that person. (Or fire them if they refuse to do their part.)
Sure. I have questions:

1. We need to be at net-zero by 2050 (and realistically based on the fast-moving temperature increases happening around us) maybe decades before that. SMRs haven’t been practically deployed yet, and don’t seem likely to be even minimally deployed until at least the 2030s if ever. How are we going to displace all forms of fossil fuel on the miniscule runway we’ll have left?

2. We have to deploy vast numbers of SMRs to the entire planet, including places with much worse security guarantees than first world nations. How do we propose to secure the huge amounts of fissile material and waste these reactors will use/produce. I’m not worried about fission bombs necessarily, but I am worried about pollution and dirty bombs.

3. “Without major improvements in storage” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. We’re seeing massive declines in storage prices and huge increases in production. If storage follows a curve similar to Solar PV, a huge fraction of the profitable applications for nuclear will be gone to cheap renewables and storage. Even if it doesn’t, renewables and today’s batteries are already driving fossil sources off the grid. How do we pay for a technology that will only have a few use-cases left after all the low hanging fruit has been eaten?

PS The last question is not a troll. It’s very obvious that renewables are going to generate something like 80-90% of our power. I’m open to the possibility that nuclear could make up the remaining 10-20%. But the economics of that chunk will be messy, since SMRs will have to compete with dirt cheap electricity when the sun/wind are available (even if storage stays expensive.) I highly doubt that SMRs are going to outcompete Solar PV when the sun is shining. What do the economics of the mostly-renewables-and-storage-with-SMRs-as-backstop world look like?
I have a tremendous love for the fast breeder reactors (particularly Superphénix); that we had that technology so long ago astounds me. However, I recognise that they are technically challenging.

From a modern, pragmatic point of view, I'm very partial to SMRs and AMRs (advanced modular reactors). They are also easier to implement on non-technical grounds (e.g. site permissions).

Fair enough.

For me it seems to have some pretty significant downsides. Loss of fertility, permanent hormone replacement, surgeries, trouble dating and being accepted in society, never really "passing" unless you do it very early on, etc.

If it's the only choice for a given individual e.g. they'd feel terminally depressed otherwise, then sure, they should be able to do it. I wouldn't really call it good though, it seems like the best worst option.

Of course, if the stigma has no effect on rates of gender dysphoria then none of this makes sense because there is then no benefit in dissuading people from transitioning.
> That is not how HOAs work. They have a very defined set of rules, and a very defined process for changing and enforcing those rules. You are not at the mercy of anyone.

This is very idealistic, but not quite how it works. HOA boards can and do constantly violate with impunity the rules they are supposed to follow. Most often to embezzle funds but also to enforce their personal will.

You can contest this of course, you can go to court. It takes pretty deep pockets to pay for lawyers and years of persistence. I know multiple people in years-and-years-long legal battles with HOAs. Those who have enough money to see it through often usually win, but it takes a lot of patience and money. Most people don't have that kind of cash to blow on fighting corrupt HOAs.
Very easy to do with GitHub actions or the equivalent in gitlab and probably other competitors by now I imagine.

If you wanted to spend money on something else, circleci and others help manage ci/cd as well.
I really love nano. It's so cool to have an easy to use fast and reliable code editor with just a bit more than basic functions. I often see it dismissed as too basic while in reality with a minimal amount of configuration nano supports syntax coloration, line numbering, automatic indentation, the mouse to position the cursor, scroll, and to activate command (by clicking on them in the bottom help), theme customisation, multiple files opening, keyboard macros, and a few more other things that doesn't come to my mind right now. It can actually go a long way before you actually need something more powerful :).
> people just want a foolproof "your product is bad" that can't be argued against, and e-waste/pollution is a great card to play, especially when it's selectively applied and you refuse to admit any of the foibles of the products you prefer.

It's not selectively applied, though. We want legislative change that legitimately forces the worst actors, Apple, Samsung and Google included, to be forced to-heel since they won't respond naturally. This was the root of all contemporary right-to-repair action proposed in the United States.

Since you seem to be locked-in on the pugilism of Apple versus Android, let's abstract things a bit. Look at John-Deere, a company hell-bent on destroying Malthusian agriculture by exploiting farmers that need tractor repairs. Their first-party exclusive repair scheme has cost people entire harvests, fields of food that could have fed hundreds of households. The reason they can't recalibrate their drivetrain? The computer that does that (over USB by the way) is in a technicians truck, and they're two states over. And John-Deere would rather blow up your tractor than give lowly old you the ability to do that. And put their licensed technicians out of work, that pay a pretty penny to be certified officially? And destroy the aftermarket repair business that they have artificially created? It's madness, unless you look at it from any perspective but the business'.

This is why Apple gets perennially dragged by right-to-repair pundits; whether you want to admit it or not, they create this problem for themselves and then scream Bloody Mary when someone suggests their status-quo is exploitative.

> Also, the actual nuclear-hot take: even lightning was not really a big deal

Then why are you still talking about it? Lightning is dead because Apple charged people a license fee to use USB, like a fucking moron. Of course they were going to be legislated into compliance once their lobbyists can't convince the EU that a serial cable is some magical proprietary technology that must be protected by their patents. They played stupid-ball and lost, the last vestiges of Lightning's influence is that I'm forced to buy new cables (that I don't need btw) to charge my Apple peripherals when they break. And why don't those use USB-C? Definitely not because Apple was trying to artificially enforce ecosystem lock-in by demanding the purchase of licensed USB cables. Definitely not... it was because, uhh... the connector is wear-resistant! People don't want it! They made a promise 10 years ago! Definitely. Wait, what was their excuse with the Mac again...?

You could explain this away with 10 more paragraphs of philosophizing on the state of electronic garbage, but the simplest conclusion is that our societal goals are not in alignment with our businesses and it is our moral imperative to democratically legislate a new standard. The alternative is letting the broken tractors pile up while sitting on our asses like we're idiots that don't understand what's happening.
>That doesn't make these novel charges legitimate, and it doesn't mean they'll survive appeal.

Michael Cohen was already convicted and went to jail on essentially the same charges of hiding illegal campaign contributions.
This feels like a practical exam in information theory, and I love it.

"You've got a 32,000 byte file to transmit over a channel of your choice. They all suck in some way. You have a smartphone, a serial port, and a computer. The computer has no compiler, but you can use any of its native facilities. Solutions that require more bytes of input (eg scripts) than are in the file to be transferred are disqualified. There is no time limit, but the fastest solution wins. Go."

Given this is an old Mac, Im not sure I could have outdone the author. Although I was tempted by the notion that if you could replace visually similar chars like 3 and 8 with something very distinct (eg 8 with Z), then using a smartphone to capture the screen and OCR might be the fastest path of all. I think System 7 had AppleScript so perhaps that sed-like step is possible?

Unless something has drastically changed since I switched to Linux around 10 years ago, Windows did not at all have a "universal package". Instead, installing software meant manually downloading an installer from the vendor's website and then manually interacting with that installer through a GUI. Windows installers come in a variety of different (even custom written) formats which essentially make it impossible to automate package management in a universal way.
