What I took away from this, and I could be wrong.

Latency is bad for the market because of speculative investment to make money on the trade itself. Not on the deeper fundamentals. We need HFT to smooth the market out for (because?) these types of trades.

I am fascinated that they chose to lead with an example that included futures however. I am reminded of why you cant buy an onion future... I get the point for farmed goods, but why stock futures (out side speculation).
I don't know why people gripe so much about the default keybindings. I used them for like 3 days before realisimg they are easy and make sense.

I'm now in the reverse situation; these "modern" keybindings feel really clunky to me.
Hi, just registered and logged in, but your link just takes me to the catalogue page - is that intentional? Is there a specific course I should be searching for?

I've been thinking of pulling the plug on getting a dji mavic (maybe mini pro which is 249g and doesn't need a licence, but also thinking of another dji mavic pro also). A1/A3 is around £200 elsewhere.

tl;dr the title is misleading. This comes from the European council (which consists of representatives of member countries) and is not a fact until the European Parliament has voted on it. It is likely that the EP will reject this proposal like earlier attempts.

Yes, we should fight this , but it’s not the ‘EU’ who says this.
Hahaha, bro, you are so interesting, it seems like you are really free!

The last attempts of this have been stopped by European Parliament so we need to make sure the new one stops it as well.
This is an interesting concept to gather people's experiences and perspectives on major life decisions. The short, bite-sized format could make it an engaging read. However, the lack of nuance may limit the usefulness for those seeking more in-depth advice.
I know this might not be what you're expecting to hear, but my reading is that the proposed law is pretty balanced.

If I take pictures and never share them, no scanning is done. If I copy private pictures to my wife's phone when we are meeting in person, no scanning is done. Similarly, I can archive pictures to my PC or print them out and all of that respects my privacy.

Only if I use a public service, like Facebook, WhatsApp, TikTok, is there the possibility of my pictures being sent to authorities if (and hopefully only if) the local scanning was inconclusive. But in that case, Facebook, WhatsApp, TikTok can (and probably do) already spy on me and my pictures. I don't think it's all that draconian for authorities to take a look, too, after you have already voluntarily !!! sent them to a for-profit corp with questionable morals.

And I feel like the proposed law design also matches with the real risk profile. Pretty much all of the blackmailing scams that drove teenagers to suicide were being perpetuated from outside the country that the victim was living in, e.g. [1]. So it makes a lot of sense to more tightly control cross-country online messaging on almost anonymous platforms than in-person photo sharing.

"Two arrested in Nigeria after Australian boy's suicide"

EDIT: In case anyone wonders, here's the 100+ page EU report that presents their opinion of the facts and then makes suggestions, some of which are now being discussed: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2020/6527...

Section 3.5.1. is about the scanning of your private pictures that Facebook is already doing, meaning regardless of how the EU decides in this case.
The ones pushing this probably think the secret police and military are firmly on their side.
This doesn't match my experience all. Please elaborate.
Reminds me of arriving late a winter night into a mountain shelter at 2000 m. after 6h of approximation... to find that another team arrived earlier and consumed all the means to start a fire, failing on it.

While this is being put forward by the council, there still is a way to influence the end result by voting for a party not involved in this turd to get it rejected. The EU Pirate Party is still on the ballot in some places.

If it ever gets promoted to law, my predictions is: ASCII art is back.
That is indeed probably the strongest application (indeed, the original motivation for the development of) LLMs. But it's not one thing. It may be able to 'translate any language', but it fails to be as good as the best translator of any given language. GPT-4 does indeed have a range exceeding that of any human ever, but if you fix a domain then it won't come out on top.

So try again.
It's not weird, minimal data for corporations maximal data and control for the states, i think it's disgusting but hey they say the EU is democratic so at the end of the day it's our fault.

The simple answer is "no", in the same way there's no need to write a python script if you really like java.

For a non-trolling answer though, for me iy's the ease with which nano's macros can be used and the easy syntax highlighting.

Not long ago, I wanted to create syntax highlighting to support my own format in nano and vim. The nano one took me 5 minutes. The vim one took me 2 days.
Someone gave me a pack of Indome noodles and I started making them like the soupy instant noodles I had normally eaten. Someone saw me and said "That's not how you make those" as I was about to squeeze the sauce sachets into the hot water with the noodles.

I said "I know how to make instant noodles!" and I continued making them. He replied with "Okay then".

After I had made them I realised he was right. I also thought it was cool that he just let me be wrong. In his position I would have pestered the other guy into doing in the right way.

I learnt a few lessons:

1. How to make Indome noodles
2. I'm not always right
3. It's okay to let other people be wrong.
It's not 'democratising' — or if it is, it wasn't wanted. I was trying to be sarcastic without being overly snarky.

Not the top. At least not in US. At the time of Apollo program Americans became bored by news of Moon landings and new footprints in the Moon dust. One more Chinese probe is not big enough news. China already did that, nothings really new.
I am going to be diplomatic, and just flat out call her a liar:

"Johansson has numerously said that tools that can scan for CSAM are highly accurate. For example, in a presentation to and exchange with LIBE MEPs in late 2022, Johansson promised that CSAM scanning tools have an accuracy of 99.99%."

You're comparing apples and oranges. Ryzen has never had the lead with 1T performance, but emphasises nT and core counts instead. Memory bandwidth is largely meaningless for desktop CPUs but matters a lot for a SoC with a big GPU.

Strix Halo appears to be AMD's competitor to Apple SoCs which will feature a much bigger iGP and much greater memory bandwidth. When we hear more about that, comparisons will be apt.
One can only hope, though given how much more authoritarian everyone (in the US, at least) has gotten, I am not holding out much hope. Good luck fighting this; I mean that sincerely.

Not to downplay the very obviously tragic suicides, I still disagree with the premise that stuff like that would be reduced or our general safety would be improved by mass scanning.

TSA for example is one of the most invasive security screenings most people endure on a quasi-regular basis and it's been the source of overreach and still does not catch much of anything whatsoever.

Criminals are incentivized to get around this scanning, regular users are not. Who really bears the burden here?

Show HN: I made a global streaming search for VPN users
I’m a designer starting on an indie developer journey and I built Stream with VPN as a personal tool and realized others could benefit from it too. It displays streaming availability across various countries for major streaming platforms. This feature is particularly useful for VPN users, allowing them to switch to a different location where a title is available, granting access to content that might otherwise be blocked by geo-restrictions.

The project started very small, with a simple search that displayed the data from TMDb and JustWatch API in a user-friendly way. It has since grown into a catalog where you can filter by streaming services, genres, and order by popularity or ratings from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. You can also create alerts to be notified when movies, TV shows, or specific seasons become available in any country, or save them to a watchlist.

This is my first side-project and something that I’m really enjoying building it and eager to keep improving it so all feedback is more than welcome.
You sir, went with an (useless) attack instead of actually furthering the discussion.
> A gentle reminder that this week we're voting in EU election so it's a great time to check who supports Chat Control and to vote accordingly.

Any idea where we can find that information (those who proposed and voted on it)?
> If it ever gets promoted to law, my predictions is: ASCII art is back.

Actually 99.99% of users won't give a single fuck and will just allow scanning. People don't care at all in case you didn't notice.
Morality police. Now with AI!
Disclaimer: my shop develops non-trivial low-level software with machine-checked correctness proofs.

Rice's theorem implies that automatic static analysis (like Rust's borrow checker) will only get you that far. To go further, you must equip the program with a proof, which can be an order of magnitude more complex than the program.

Don't get me wrong, Rust is excellent for developing security-critical applications. Its borrow checker solves many memory safety and concurrency issues, and its type system more generally forces error paths to be explicit. The next step would be to use deductive methods to check that the error paths cannot be taken.

> make invalid states unrepresentable

That is a nice ideal, but not very practical. You need dependent types for that (for example, a sigma-type that bundles a value in a carrier type with a proof that it satisfies an invariant). They have their uses (e.g. at the interface of a library), but they are a pain to work with. You must build the proof terms together with the runtime values, thus entangling program and proofs into an unmaintainable mess. Oh, and forget about modular proof development: the dependent type encodes every constraint on the value, therefore most types must change across the program when you decide to prove an additional property of the program. You can't just keep the existing proof around and prove something else on top of it.

By all means, please keep some invalid states representable, and cleanly separate the program from its various proofs.
Show HN: Show HN: NameIgniter – Simple .com domain name suggestion tool

Wrong. For rotation you don't look at mass, but at moment of inertia. That scales like ~M*R^2 or ~rho*R^5 for a density of rho and distance R from the axis of rotation. So even if the core is much denser, it contributes a lot less to the earth's total moment of inertia. Earth's rotation is even measurably affected by plants changing throughout the seasons. Glacial melts and earthquakes also have measurable effects that need to be compensated for. See here for the plot:

Well well, time to vote for the anti-EU party.
This is an absurd take, Russia has given up any pretense of "communism" for 35 years. As far as I can tell from a quick look on Wikipedia, the party has been at least mildly anti-soviet since 1968.

Most importantly, it is very obvious that here in the EU, this sort of snooping on personal emails has its roots in the large state security apparatus of the western part of the EU (especially with western Europeans being way more likely to trust their national secret services than those in the former communist countries), not in any Russian influence.

It is especially the nationalists that imagine foreign spies everywhere and want the ability to control chat.
That's exactly what's going to happen, and the few people who actually care will end up in a list. It's all for your own good though, as terrorist and pedos will obviously be like "damn gotta find something else to do now as this is forbidden!".
>At this point people start wondering why they're hoofing it up to the train platform and paying for transit tickets and waiting for the train instead of just driving the rest of the way to their destination.

Usually, it's because

1) the highway to their destination in the city center has too much traffic, and the train is faster, and

2) there's no parking at their destination, and no place to build it at any kind of affordable price.

Just look at Washington DC: tons of people commute by car to suburban train stations, pay a monthly fee to park in the big parking garages there, and then commute the rest of the way into the city center by train to work in government offices.
"completely harmless if you're more than a few inches away"

This was in the "disassemble for scraps" tent. I do not think that's a particularly reasonable thing to assume.

95% of the time, someone unscrews the housing, sees the radiation symbol, behaves appropriately. 5% of the time it goes in a garage junk box, gets dropped, kid finds the shiny yellow disc and tries to open it.

As it was, this was hilarious, and perfectly on-brand for EMF. I'm glad there's not a small nuclear source sitting in some unknowing person's hackspace, I'm glad someone was watching out, and them wearing cute animal ears makes the story even better!
Another vote for obsidian. Aspirationally my notes are structured as per "Building a second brain" by T. Forte, but in reality things have gotten messy!

Incredible that they think this will even slow anything at all. Some of these laws you can see a trade-off between safety and freedom, which you can decide where to position yourself. But in this one I really have a hard time seeing what even gets harder to do for criminals.

If I'm sharing nasty stuff through one of these platforms and I can send text, I can send a link. In any platform "that doesn't allow links" you see people sharing them anyway through normal text, even if they have to create some new conventions. And you can also just use different platforms anyway, so where is the deterrent?

This is just annoying based on people legislating for technologies they don't understand.

Thanks @photon_lines! In your temperature diagram, you mention that every point will take the average of the neighboring points. However, the equation is not a constraint on the temperature but on the "change of the slope (or gradient) of the temperature". The bigger the slope (in space), the faster (in time) the temperature changes at that point!
Even if true, 99.99% is way too little!

You don't have to send the photos to a for-profit corp though. E2E encryption is entirely possible. What the law should be enabling is for people to sue companies that claim to do E2E encryption then compromise it by independently sending things to law enforcement.
If you dislike it so much why do you still use it? Just curious.
Nothing weird, that's just how governments work when they are not united under a strong leader like Putin or Erdogan.

Different organisations have different goals and those into "security" just want to delegate their jobs to computers when they chill, get paid and prized for their success. Some more cynical ones are also plotting for political control, I'm sure.

I'm very annoyed by this trend of government organisations really really desire to look into our stuff all the so they don't have to do their jobs the hard way like finding suspects and investigating them. Bunch of wankers and nothing more, aren't they?

If aligned government bodies is desired then a dictator is needed. EU isn’t suited for this.
I live in a country where software engineers often have engineering degrees.

What that means in practice is that they study math and physics for the first 2-3 years of their degree, instead of computer science or software engineering.

Does that make them build better systems than Californian devs? Based on company revenues and salaries, I’d say no.
European parliament has no real power, it's a democratic illusion, just like the elections in USSR. You don't believe me? Then explain me how the EP repels an already voted law. It can't.
Yes indeed. 99,99% would be just for Germany, and assuming each citizen send one message every 12 months, 8000 false accusations per year.
When responsible people with power feel powerless carrying out their responsibilities they tend to panic and force the innocents into an uncomfortable or damaging situation, endangering everyone instead of catching the comparably very few perpetrators doing the trouble. I seen too many of such examples throughout the years, bigger the public outrage, bigger the damge to the whole public instead of the very few involved or responsible. Who mostly thanks, carry out slightly differently in overall. But the public gets f'd.
The parliament already rejected the first proposal so no, there are a lot of MEPs against this.
I would have bought a PS5 on release, I had the money and was ready to buy, but I wasn’t able to while I watched scalpers get dozens of consoles. By the time I would have been able to buy one, over a year later, I had lost interest. My hype had died down and I didn’t see enough games released for it that I wanted to play. I’ve since bought a steam deck and couldn’t be happier. I’d consider buying a PS5 Pro if I can get one on release, but at this stage I’d be much more interested in a steam deck 2.

I play 90% of my games on steam deck, and a few games like crusader kings 3 in my laptop (also on Linux). Thanks to valve, Linux gaming works great!

Also, I’m put off the higher price tag of PS5 games.

It was a sarcastic comment, and I guess you are right.

If the detector has a false positive rate of 0.01% that still means ~50000 false hits every day, if every one sends one image daily. And my guess is it's WAY more than that in volume and false positive rate.
There are some discussions that shouldn’t be legitimized with a real reply.

Imagine this being a public street. A stupid comment would get heckled. If the commenter decided to stay there with a megaphone yelling about it, they might even get the megaphone ripped out their hand and completely sidelined.

Some opinions are so _against the grain_ of society (or in this case, just stupid) that facing a reaction like you did is probably the least amount of pushback you could get.
