Without looking into the installation script to verify, based on that description, it is only deleting an 'extended attribute' of the AeroSpace app. MacOS adds this attribute automatically to programs downloaded from the web, and prevents a user from running the program while it has the attribute.

I frequently need to run a command like the following before running a downloaded program, which I'm guessing is exactly what the install script does:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine some-program.app
There are all kinds of perverse market opportunities opening. Enforcers who help "convince" squatters to leave are getting rich. But what if there are not enough squatters? Well, they can ask their friends to pretend to be squatters to keep up demand. "Convincing" is not always violent I understand, it be a payment. Yes, people get extorted and you pay them ransom to get your place back.

If the government fixes the laws, now these private "enforcement" companies will be left out on the streets. So, presumably, some will want to convince the government to not change the laws, and may even start supporting PAH!
i feel it is worth pointing out, as another commenter highlighted, language and even symbolic more abstract languages, bring about fluency if you've practiced "speaking and writing" it enough.

i think native speakers hardly "think" about the steps necessary to form a grammatically correct expression, and most of the time just "know".

fluency is not the same as lacking an internal framework for interpreting or thinking in terms of, symbols.
That's why I said IMHO.
I tried Emacs in 2023 and 2024 and to me it is still way too clunky, gets in my way all the time and has , what I consider, bad defaults and to me very bad ergonomics. It literally negatively impacts my hands. And performance was nothing special either for me.
It is however very powerful, I agree with that.
As someone who has to interview candidates occasionally, I love the idea of a real-time interview copilot system. Here's why.

I see two main ways it could shake out.

In the less exciting case, the copilot isn't very good. It takes a long time, or produces assistance that obviously came from an LLM, or gets candidates regurgitating nonsense during the interview. In that case, I get a decent "don't hire" signal, for the same reason I wouldn't want to hire someone who was getting a friend to message them answers during a live interview.

In the more exciting case, the copilot is really good. It allows candidates who wouldn't otherwise pass the coding interview (whether for technical skill reasons, or behavioral reasons, or whatever) to breeze through like an expert. If this were to happen, I think it would massively devalue the "do LeetCode hards on a whiteboard" style of coding interview, and force interviewers to favor signals that are more relevant to real-world employee performance.

Well, until in the long run, the AI gets good enough to excel at all of the qualities that make human employees good employees... in which case we'll all retire to a life of comfortable, post-singularity, fully automated luxury gay space communism. Right?
I believe it's simply clicking the DM. Don't quote me on that, I can't find a source presently.
You have made the assumption that the line-up was done for the sake of human people, whether common or expert. When choosing the site to build a religious facility, would not the sake of the deity(s) being worshiped be a primary consideration?
It's impossible to detect whether some statement in isolation is a hallucination or not, with LLMs.

It's better for it to aggregate the information and then provide the resources to be able to verify whether any deduction is well supported or not.

I guess with a few more iterations you could have another agent verify whether a deduction is well justified, but that will also have some significant percentage of errors too.
No.

All the info about IFT-3 pre launch always mentioned that they were deliberately not actually going to enter orbit, so as not to need an unproven de-orbit burn to avoid 100t of space junk.

100t of space junk that would then re-enter at some unpredictable time. Bad idea.

So they were on a trajectory that would automatically have the vehicle re-enter the atmosphere and splash down in some ocean, even if it were fully inert.
Funny thing is they did have something like this already:

See lift to drag ratio. To get enough lift to maintain altitude you need a certain amount of drag. At those speeds the drag causes the heating while still not producing enough lift to stay up.

Connecting and disconnecting external monitors is an important use case for me as well. I dedicated my time to support specifically this case, so hopefully it works correctly for other users as well
It also killed their very successful Selectric business!
That's a shame, Metal supports proportionally less software and is maintained by a megalomaniac.
> The “added shit about public shaming” is not a trivial issue

I think it could be considered trivial given how much of your life can be made an utter hell by a bad credit score. Things like not being able to finance a house when you already spend more per month on rent than a mortgage, being forced into predatory financial products because you lack the ability to get regular ones, refusal for companies to hire you for work based on your credit score, your credit history just being wrong and being saddled with the task of probably hundreds of hours of work and god knows how much money to fix it because none of the providers give a shit about helping you, the risks with identity theft, on and on and on.

As someone who has had to unfuck my credit due to idiocy in financial institutions that was completely, 100% not my fault and yet fell solely on my shoulders to handle, I assure you it is a special circle of bureaucratic hell that would easily stand toe-to-toe with the worst any governments have to offer.

Is it GOOD that it has mechanisms for that? No. But again, I emphasize: we add that ourselves to it all the same. And yes it's definitely worse when it's inscribed in the law's text, but I wouldn't say it's that different either.

> Like, there is nothing hypocritical about viewing extra negatively another society that has taken a disliked element of your own and made it worse.

Oh sure, 100%, but that presupposes that the commenter in question thinks credit reports are bad. And yeah, a fair number of Americans hate them, but like with a lot of things Americans hate, they'll also say shit like "well that's just how it is." But apparently such status-quo allyship doesn't cross into China.
> Having worked in data/engineering at bigtech, it's not like there's a human on the other side reviewing what each user is doing

There doesn't need to be a human inspecting stuff, just a computer doing the filtering and reacting to it. The example that the article is using is already mentioning that they found the nefarious purpose. Given the current trend of politics, notably in the US, its not far-fetch to draw a future where searching for things like, say, abortion, becomes illegal, and tech companies get coerced into sharing that kind of information.

The fact that MSFT found that co-pilot was being used by hackers suggests that they already have the entire set of tools to already do that.
I can't wait to see what political message the python team choses to run this time in the release notes. It'll be just a month before the election. Stunning and brave probably!
AI is breadth-first, not depth-first
Linux you can get for “free” with DXVK or VKD3D-proton. MacOS is an even more niche platform than Linux as far as gaming is concerned and is not a tough sell to skip considering the total lack of market share in games. iOS and Android generally come in a pair so unless you’re only targeting one you need to support multiple APIs anyway. Xbox requires Xbox specific APIs so you need explicit work there. Every other console uses a bespoke API that will require another backend in your engine (yes Switch technically supports Vulkan but that is not the recommended path from Nintendo, you will likely end up with an NVN backend).

D3D11 gives you both desktop platforms that matter for games, everything else will require multiple backends anyway so if you only care about desktop it’s a fair choice.
It is not months of work. I wrote an HN crawler that got all the posts in less than two hours of coding. (There is the tricky question of polling schedules though: if you want to get every story the minute it comes out it will not have any votes or comments and you'll have to come back later if you want to get representative numbers. I think discussions close in 2 weeks so a double scan is good enough for some purposes but not the up-to-the-minute analysis they claim to be doing)

The rest of the analysis is all straightforward except for the topic classification: If I was running on all cylinders for nights and weekend hacking I'd expect to spend a week or so on gathering training data for that (maybe suck down category assignments from Tildes) and probably a week coding up a classifier w/ a BERT-family embedding and classifiers from scikit-learn. You could attempt the same with prompt engineering in a day or two of work and get something expensive to run working pretty quickly that will probably not perform as well as my classifier. (Their classifier gives the empty string as a category which is a bad sign) If you want to improve on it you need the same training set I do.

Java is still quite a small language, several-times smaller than C++ or C#. I really don’t feel Java being on that “slippery slope” at all, people like to talk about. Sure, it can’t really shrink, due to backwards compatibility and for the same reason it can’t always have the most elegant solution, but it really is doing pretty much the opposite of any other language of similar age — being as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Living in Spain, I have friends from both ends of the spectrum: those speculating with houses and those who cannot afford to buy one.

We can blame the okupas, calling them lazy if that suits you. But we are missing half the story if we don't consider the other end of the spectrum: people buying property purely for speculative investment. For example, consider the housing crisis in Majorca [1].

Since we have enough money to buy a house, it's easy to blame the okupas. However, you should ask yourself: How much would housing prices need to increase before I can no longer afford a home? What would I do with my kids in that situation?

Justice should be defended with a veil of ignorance about your personal situation. It's easy to talk about what is fair regarding housing if you own two or three properties. Talk to people, and you will understand how lucky you may have been.

I guess the Space Shuttle did have main engines (and orbital maneuvering engines) but it's notable that they weren't expected to relight afterwards.
Oh, I know. I use sway — and greatly miss alt-tab (windows-style alt-tab), when I do.

Not linux-primary right now.

I can remember my linux-style stacking commands in order to try it.

But I would want to fix my alt-tab at some point.

Note: my sway (or mac) usage is basically two vertical windows or stacks of panes on a laptop screen. So a pretty simple setup.
Show HN: I built a JavaScript UI library with reactive atomic updates
Hey everyone!

Some time ago I was analyzing why React apps are so hard to optimize, and came to a conclusion that the lack of atomic updates is the culprit. I made an experimental library which basically updates everything in place directly in HTML.

At some point I became aware that Solidjs exists, which is a very similar idea, but at the end of the day I realized my approach to API is quite different and warrants the existence of my library (my state primitive allows selector subscriptions, array iterators return a state primitive with the element, allowing to never re-render the whole child).

Any feedback/ideas are welcome!
Go ahead, blame literally every single person except the lead maintainer and developer of the project.
I don't have an definitive answer, but generally radical movements (like anarchism) sometimes change the expected spellings to appear more non-traditional/anti-establishment. In this case, okupa comes from ocupar, "k" is not used a lot in Spanish so in order to appear even less mainstream, changing the "c" for a "k" makes it stand out more.

That'd be my guess at least. Maybe someone could track down a definitive answer.

...exactly. Which is why, unless you're given a license to re-impliment DirectX, it makes so much more sense to use Vulkan and it's DX9 through DX12 translation layer.

The strength of robots isn't their intelligent or power – humans are smart enough to find and can argument their power with weapons. What we cannot compete with is their speed. Fighting a robot would be like trying to fight Neo at bullet speed. We wouldn't have a chance.
Also, the classic issue with tumors, is that they're your own body, and it's hard to selectively target them. Any treatment that hibernates tumor cells is likely hibernate normal cells, and be incompatible with life; unless you get really lucky.
What's comical about this is that most apps ALREADY have a persistent icon on the screen - the Dock icon. From what I've seen, most mac users don't enable dock hiding, so it's always there. It's just bad design.

Vulkan, Direct3D, Metal and OpenGL are graphics APIs - the implementation comes with your GPU driver, and they're as close as you can reasonably get to writing code "directly for the GPU". When you call a Vulkan function you're directly calling driver code.

wgpu is a regular library that uses the native APIs above and abstracts them from you. I don't like calling it a graphics API because it implies it's the same as the vendor-provided APIs - it's a completely different beast.

WebGPU and WebGL are Web standards that the browser implements, and you program them via JS. Similarly to wgpu, they're implemented on top of the native graphics APIs.

The relationship between wgpu and WebGPU is that they're basically made by the same people, and in Firefox WebGPU is implemented on top of wgpu.

But saying "WebGPU runs everywhere" is plain wrong - it's a browser-exclusive API, and on top of that, at the point of writing this it doesn't even run on all browsers (71% support according to https://caniuse.com/webgpu)
Wouldn't surprise me if they got 90-100% discounts for a few years in exchange for saying it's a good thing.
Yeah, measure words aren't really that strange a concept in English, it's just that we don't normally consider them. But we have e.g. "a pinch of salt", "a lashing of ginger beer" [1], "a lump of coal", "a slice of cake", "a piece of music", "a spit of rain", "a drop of water", "a bucket of water", "a sheet of paper", "a ream of paper", "a glass of beer", "a bottle of beer", "a sip/mouthful of beer", etc. The last few sets of words were to show an even more useful correspondence with Chinese - as they would be 一杯酒，一瓶酒， 一口酒 respectively, and suddenly they seem a lot more reasonable.

We also have a LOT of these for plurals and take great pride in knowing all the stupid ones - "a gaggle of geese", "a murder of crows", "a herd of cows", "a fleet of ships". These are all really just the same as the measure words in Chinese with many specialisations for large groups of specific things.

We also have plenty of measure words in English when we take something from the realm of uncountable to countable, as I showed in the examples above, and in many ways Chinese tends to have less weird single-use ones like "gaggle of geese", just a larger variety of the common ones. So there's a special word for "long thin things", "vertical long thing things", "flat things on a (mathematical) plane", "a lump", "a slice", "a vehicle", "a machine" as well as the fallback 个/個 when none of the more specific ones are appropriate. I think it's only because we generally don't use any measure word for small groups of countable nouns in English that we think it's somehow strange that other languages do.

There's also not so many counter words to be a problem. Sure, the absolute number is high (some say very precise numbers like 214, 232, etc, some people low ball it at 100, some say over 900 words if you count all the old obscure words), but in practice, about a dozen of them will cover almost all the cases you think are hard for English speakers. So, 个，条，只，支，本，件，张, 家，座，部，辆，头 are probably the most common ones that don't usually have an English translation, almost every other measure word would also require a measure word in English, e.g. 条=strip, 张=sheet, 些=few, 双=pair, 样=kind, 种=type, 头=head, 片=slice, 分/份=piece, 点=bit, 块=lump, etc.

As with most things about learning a new language, it's also important to embrace the differences - they give you a new insight into how other people think about things, and seeing when someone else's internal model for something differs to yours can help you better understand your own model as well as the new one you're learning.

the way I've dealt with semi-related issues is to regard 'engineered music' as it's own artform distinct from live music

the archetype I'm trying to follow is painting. when the camera was invented photorealistic paintings became usless and what followed was impressionism, which focused on what the cameras cannot do.

however I do not think music has reacted to reccording technology in the same way painting did (pretending for one sentence that 'music' and 'painting' are entities with agency). I don't think there's an "impressionistic" movement within music that arose as a response to reccording technology, at least not yet.
That sounds great if you think that humans had access to perfect diets in 1849.
