> Nowhere did I mention aesthetics.

You mentioned, without further commentary, that you could smell marijuana various places, in the context of harms of the very limited relaxations in drug enforcement that have happened in some states in the US. Not only is it unclear to me that this is a direct consequence of that (Where I live, you could smell weed a lot of these places well before the state legalized recreational use), but the harm this causes is left unstated, which is why I call it an aesthetic objection

> Enforcement procedures have changed at all levels, regardless of classification.

Vague and also nonsense. Throughout the era of drug prohibition we've had a constant stream of these "crises" where a drug becomes popular for some reason, people die because they're using it unsafely, and the news squawks about it for months. Every version of drug policy has failed to prevent this problem, and yet people keep trying to pretend if we just throw more cops at the problem it will magically start working. It won't

> Yes, I'm positing that drug enforcement has benefits and my statements are consistent.

They're not. In one case, you name the fact that you notice a drug that's increasingly being legalized in various places as evidence that relaxing enforcement is a problem. In the other, you name a drug that's still actively quite illegal, that the DEA busts labs for making, doctors for overprescribing, and individuals for possessing, and say that the fact that it's the subject of the current well-known drug crisis is evidence that enforcement is too lax. What level of enforcement do you think will solve the problem? It really seems like whatever outcome we see from what policies, as long as someone, somewhere still uses a drug you think they shouldn't, your conclusion will be that this is evidence of inadequate cop involvement

> This is a false choice, filled with cliches.

This is the reality we currently occupy. Police stop and search people, break into their homes, confiscate their belongings, on the assumption that they might have drugs, or have made money selling drugs. They shoot people on the assumption that they can't be reasoned with because they might be on drugs. We ruin millions of people's lives by throwing them in jail for merely posessing drugs, which if anything exacerbates those individuals' propensity to buy black market drugs. This is all a direct downstream consequence of drug policy
> There's a difference between a weak DRM format, and a "download as PDF" option.

Can you direct me to a book available to borrow in the IA, which both requires copyright protection, and is available to download as a DRM-free PDF? My understanding is that no such book currently exists, nor did it exist in the pre-pandemic regime.

> "Poking the bear by removing these nominal restrictions" is the "branding" I was talking about. Their "emergency library" was a pirate site, plain and simple. You can describe it as a procedural difference from what they were doing before, but that doesn't stop it from being piracy.

I don't think there's any great contradiction in the ideas that a) the barriers the IA had prior to the pandemic (and still has, to my knowledge) against piracy are perfunctory and largely ineffective, b) they are the same barriers that any US-based library with an ebook rental program uses, and c) even slightly weakening those barriers caused the IA to be de facto facilitating piracy in a legal sense, regardless of their intentions.
The edited title is more accurate.

That is a thing. I met a mother-daughter duo, they'd travel with a little bag and disappear to do that and it wasn't a big deal and they claimed results.

You're right about the first part, but I'm not confused about anything.

There are genuinely many people who wholeheartedly believe that the poor deserve to be poor, and that helping them is bad. Some of them aren't even that well off themselves, but have bought into an ideology that's detrimental to them.

If you haven't encountered these people, then count yourself lucky, but don't try to deny their existence or assume your own experiences are universal.
There is a chance that he is well-intended and he believes in starting from first principles - think ELI5. It would be interesting to hear more concrete examples.
That's true, but I'm weighing overall consumption with the cost of saving money. The fact is, if I buy 12oz cans of Soda, I'm going to drink 12oz of soda. They're not resealable like plastic bottles--I'm either gonna drink it in one sitting, or it's gonna go flat and get dumped out. So yes, buying the 7.5oz cans costs comparatively more money, but I'm drinking less of the stuff overall, and arguably decreasing my dependency on Soda Vendor.

We can ban DJI all we want, but our military or the US itself is declining nonetheless if we don't solve our manufacturing problem like we still produce those lame suicidal drones rogue1 that has inferior spec to DJI Mavic 3 yet charges fucking $94K a pop, like the cost of making a canon shell is 10X more than Russian even though Russia is known to be one of the most corrupted country in the world, like we don't have a prosperous manufacturing industry to rely on so the cost of a specialized screw could be hundreds times more than what what China produces.

I mean, we can have the best service industry in the world, but eventually we have to produce good things, no? Or in the worst case, if there's war, what do we depend on? Traders and programmers and lawyers and waiters? Are we sure we could out produce the Axis 20:1, like building a warship every 3 days (or a week?)?

It pains me to see the US decline just like the Roman Empire did.

No, humans legit just suck at associative memory for textual data. This happens to be one of the few things LLMs excel at. LLMs suck at sample efficiency, they do not model most types of cognition, they suck at multimodality (so far), in-context learning, etc, etc. But they absolutely blow humans out of the water on associative memory and taking advantage insanely large amounts of it instantaneously.

Humans will not be outdone on other things in my or my children’s lifetime.

but information wants to be free

I say this given what I understand information to be

information is about knowledge, what use is knowledge that nobody can know? useless, hence it must be the case that information wants to be copied everywhere it can, freely; for that is the essence of being information, being known.

Is there data to support this viewpoint? I've heard it often, but it always seems to lean on anecdata or caveats that the concrete datasets out there have blind spots (which is plausible, but certainly not a given). And those concrete datasets don't usually tend to put Java near the top for professional usage, or any metric for that matter.
Show HN: Lipdub Videos to Any Language
TLDR: Translate, dub, and lip-sync videos into 29+ languages. Here's an example: https://app.vivalabs.ai/?modal=videoShared&shareID=c955c97b-...

I was creating a few educational math videos for kids in Latin America last summer, and I noticed they weren't easily following subtitles. I wanted to make the video content more engaging for them, but I'm still a ways away from Spanish proficiency.

Went down the rabbit hole of audio + video AI models... and now we have the initial version of Viva Labs! Given a video, we first translate the audio to the target language using a pipeline of ASR models, translation APIs, & LLMs; users can edit these translations to fix any errors. Then, we dub the audio with similar voices or voice clones. Finally, we sync the speakers lip movements to match the dubbed audio.

Our early users have surprised us with some of the common use cases like dubbing online course content, product explainers + marketing promos, podcasts, and international newscasts.

Still a lot of work to do to create full immersion. The following areas of technical exploration we're pursuing: 1) matching the output audio's tone, prosody, & emotion with that of the input voice using speech to speech models, 2) training lip sync models with more robust lip sync for extreme poses and occluding objects, 3) using LLMs to produce translations that are more colloquial and more closely match the pacing of original audio.

Here's a sample of Mira Murati's GPT4o announcement lip dubbed to Russian: https://app.vivalabs.ai/?modal=videoShared&shareID=c955c97b-...

Looking forward to seeing what videos you dub! You can dub 3 minutes of video for free at https://app.vivalabs.ai or you can ask our twitter bot https://x.com/VivaDubs to audio dub a video on twitter.
No. I just benchmarked against the API at deepseek.com, which doesn't appear to serve the lite model.
Running all migrations before every tests can take you a surprisingly long way.

Once that gets a bit too slow, running migrations once before every suite and then deleting all data before each test works really well. It's pretty easy to make the deleting dynamic by querying the names of all tables and constructing one statement to clear the data, which avoids referential integrity issues. Surprisingly, `TRUNCATE` is measurably slower than `DELETE FROM`.

Another nice touch is that turning off `fsync` in postgres makes it noticeably faster, while maintaining all transactional semantics.
And we keep falling for it, too. Folks on HN and elsewhere are fawning over Fusion360, despite Autodesk having a long history of being worse than Adobe and pulling the rug on individual features more than once.

People spend thousands of dollars on 3D printers or CNC mills, but the idea of spending several hundred bucks on "buy-to-own" software is so outmoded...

The other reason you have all these subscription models is that they obscure the total cost of ownership. Spending $300 on photo editing software seems like a big commitment. Paying $20/mo for a decade is easier. But when you add up Creative Suite, Office365, Xbox Game Pass, Spotify, Netflix, Squarespace, and whatnot, it's all of sudden a big chunk of your disposable income.
Extremely expensive yet unreliable trains... Subsidized. Extremely high taxes.... And this is what is used for: Squeezing more from people and abusing their identities further while having very little transparency on the government dealings where it matters.

But hey, doing useful things like closing all those loopholes that allow elites to use tax havens while operating in London or punishing corruption is not really on the list.
Yes. Photoshop, which is photo and image editing software for photographers, has more features for photographers than Krita, a painting program for artists.

Many states in the US do not allow calls to be recorded unless all parties on the call consent to being recorded. There is no distinction (that I am aware of) between companies and natural persons in those laws. In those states, you can _technically_ record a call without consent, but my guess is that if you try to use it as evidence, you open yourself up to being prosecuted for wire fraud or somesuch.
Why is it even important to know the emotional state of passengers? Assuming it's even accurate.
Any slow app would be just as slow if the team had built it using different tech, because it's the design of the software that makes it slow, not the framework.

There is no framework that has a "pit of success" that makes it inherently easy to build a fast app, so any team that uses a framework poorly is just as likely to use a different framework poorly. If they switch and things improve it's probably because the new framework happens to fit their mental model rather than any inherent function of the framework itself.

A good team that designs their code to make the most of a framework could write a good, fast app using any particular tech.

Nyet, comrade.

She was at the front like some sort of living maidenhead while I leisurely rowed at the back with the entrenching tool that I kept in the car, one evening at an outdoor music festival somewhere in the Midwest. It was all very beautiful; the girl was beautiful, the sky was beautiful, the music was beautiful, and the place itself was beautiful; everything was approximately perfect. There was such a profound feeling of rightness as the sun set, and I wished it would never end.

Except: I had to pee.

So I stood up to take care of that and the stolen canoe simply went sideways. My entrenching tool disappeared (along with one of my sandals, and the boat itself), the girl went for a swim, and most importantly my key fob got drenched.

We swam to the nearest shore and hiked back through the dense young trees and brush using the flashlight on my Galaxy S5.

Once we got back to camp, the phone died for real.

It was all very much a bummer in a great number of ways.

The next day some kids there found and recovered the boat and my missing sandal.

We didn't make it, she and I. But several months later, that dead S5 came back to life like nothing had ever happened.

(Don't do drugs, kids. Maybe.)
Sure, I hear you. But I do think "puff piece" is wrong word. That would usually mean a piece that purposely avoids the negative, usually with some marketing or PR agenda. Here, I think Linn was happily surprised by what he found, and gave that positive reaction in a short video. He never claimed it was an exhaustive review, but just his initial impression.

Even the title is "Roger Linn tries out a new Akai MPC." So he tried it, knocked out a little beat, and liked it.

Devaluating writers probably hurts, but you see the "weird first season" even in older shows. The 1960s series Get Smart and Dick Van Dyke Show had first seasons that were much weaker than what the show would become, to cite a couple of examples. There probably is no substitute for a period of getting your sea legs under you as a writer.
> it is now even more expensive than solar/wind, at least in the Western world

Correct with that caveat.

China is able to build it cheaply enough that it rivals solar/wind + gas, which is what the West is doing. (Solar/wind + battery is cute, but it's been crowded out by the quicker-deploying gas infrastructure, as well as the higher prices EV manufacturers are willing to pay for supply. The threat to gas was nuclear baseload, which could support a smaller battery footprint, but the gas lobbyists seem to have successfully dispatched it.)
The bounties in crypto are so big because the math is so clear on the cost vs benefits of the bounties. Paying two million to avoid losing a billion is not a bad deal. And there just aren't enough security people yet that market forces have commoditized bounty finding.

Good companies use bounties as yet another security layer - after doing everything else, add a bug bounty!

Almost all crypto bug bounties run through Immunefi. [1] There are lots of > one million dollar bounties. You can see SEI's current bounty page here.[2] The company I work (a different company) for has a one million dollar bounty listed on immunefi.com and median response time of six hours.

Yes, that is actually worth it. This seems comparable to what a third party might pay.

I have always wondered why the payouts are capped at the trillion dollar corps at such low figures. It appears like $75k max and MS and $100k max at Apple. Meanwhile shady 3rd party groups will pay you 10x that, won't they?
My cynical take: this is by design. Those web committees are staffed by companies that each have their non-web platform they're pushing (or were, until it died, see Microsoft), so even the most well meaning members are somehow contorted into compromises that make the web as a platform a bad technical choice in terms of actual design, but the best one in terms of flexibility and of course ubiquity.

It's completely stupid HTML, by default, doesn't have basic controls found in EVERY UI toolkit since circa 1980. The standard examples being ListView and TreeView.
Such an ignorant waste of task payers money. Face expression is not emotion. Can we say the elementary school fact again: one's face expression is not their emotional state. People have memories that cause facial expressions, people play out scenarios in their imagination that cause facial expressions, and ordinary every day body pain and plain old fart suppression in public causes facial expressions. Are these everyday ordinary human behaviors going to require explaining to the authorities, or will people just start saying "no" to absolute nonsense? Seriously. This is "technology" absolute nonsense, absolute tax payer theft.

>What is the collateral if they don't pay?

It's unsecured, just like a credit card.

AFAIK BNPL products either change interest directly to the consumer or is subsidized by the merchant. There's also a credit check prior to it being granted, so it's not like they're handing it out to just anyone.

Its funny because app store rules aren't laws. If we were really concerned about privacy, we'd have our own strong GDPR that mandated privacy and control measures and controls. Banning things doesn't work because the base foundational protections aren't there.
On the blockchain, accounts have a certain amount of currency.

You can issue a command to transfer currency from your account to somebody else's, as that is a primary use case of a cryptocurrency. There was a code path where you could send someone negative amounts of the currency and it would happily pay them a negative amount of currency and charge you a negative amount of currency, thus transferring their account balance to your against their will.

There were several transfer paths and I think not all of them were vulnerable, but only one has to be. There's a bit of indirection that made it somewhat less obvious than my description makes it sound, though it amounts to the same thing in the end.

Most ER visits are not life or death situations, and most would make a 20 minute drive over a 10 minute drive if it meant saving $1k. So the incentive is still there. You can say that I'm valuing money over lives in this example, but I think we'd be picking the lesser of two evils, as it's becoming increasingly evident that socialized medicine is stacking up its own body count. Working with society is all about incentives, and universal healthcare doesn't incentivize excellence, it incentivizes complacency.

They just used a common word that was vaguely applicable to an almost entirely unrelated abstract system of object lifetime verification. Ownership has basically the same semantics as C++'s destructors and moves, just enforced statically. It isn't people looking to the real world for a real-world solution for programming problems.
TL:DR

Avoid highly processed foods, chicken nuggets are worse than chicken breasts

Try to use glass containers over plastic ones.

Heat from dishwashers and microwaves can cause plastic containers to break down and release particles.

Use paper tea bags over plastic ones

Tap water has less microplastic particles than bottled water, and you can use a filter to remove additional microplastics

synthetic fabrics when worn down from friction, lighting, or heat like sunlight/dryers can shed particles you can inhale that can get into your blood stream.

Vacuuming with a hepa filter can make a difference.
