> I can’t force you to see parallels you are very firmly convinced don’t exist, nor can I force you to provide new evidence or arguments instead of rehashing conclusions I’ve already refuted as best I can

Oh. OK. So you're not actually providing any of the proof I asked you to, you're just wanting me to trust your arguments as correct in spite of all the evidence I've seen to the contrary. Yeah, that sure is reasonable. The 'trust me bro' defense.

> This is especially true when you’ve declined my open-ended request to provide one of the “plenty of” peer-reviewed legal journal citations you say exist and don’t engage substantively with the evidence I do share

Because I'm not particularly interested in doing research for you. That would actually take me maybe 10 0or 15 minutes, to find something you wouldn't just dismiss because it was cited by students and whatever reason you found convenient.

You're making a claim which against common knowledge and understanding, so the onus is on you to support it. Not just say 'read X section of the GDPR' and treat that as though you've provided proof.

> asking me to do all the legwork of substantively explaining “some [interpretation of my evidence] that [you] can actually refute.”

No. I'm just first asking you to support your point directly and not with vague handwaving. That's more than reasonable.

> These asymmetries are beyond the scope of what’s warranted here: we are two people having a casual unpaid Hacker News discussion, not you as a judge or juror and me as a lawyer trying to prove my client’s case in court.

Sure. I'm not trying to make it that. But clearly one of us is incorrect. You've been confident from the start it's me, but instead of actually showing how, you're just saying read section X of the GDPR and wanting me to trust your interpretation as correct. How is that reasonable?

There's plenty of peer reviewed legal articles talking about EU overreach. There really are not many saying "whoah, hold up guys, there's been a huge misunderstanding!" - you didn't even provide so much as a blog post claiming that.

The way I see it, EU tribalism can be just as bad as US tribalism, and EU citizens often try to defend EU laws even when it doesn't necessary make sense to do so. Likek how many EU citizens will try and say cookie banners are not the fault of the EU and try to shift blame to the websites, which is nonsense.

> Similarly, if the point of me doing interpretive legwork is just to give you something to refute, that’s not worth my time.

WHy do you think that stance wouldn't apply to me?

> I don’t think we have anything productive left to say to each other in this subthread, so don’t be surprised if this turns out to be my last reply to you here.

Fair enough. Take care.
With I/O in general, I've observed that socket, protocol, and serialization logic are often tightly coupled.

If they're decoupled, there's no need to mock protocol or serialization.

There's some cliché wrt "don't call me, I'll call you" as advice how to flip the call stack. Sorry, no example handy (on mobile). But the gist is to avoid nested calls, flattening the code paths. Less like a Russian doll, more like a Lego instructions.

In defense of mocks, IoC frameworks like Spring pretty much necessitate doing the wrong thing.
Mostly, they're clumsy to use. It takes me much longer to place an order with one of those than to just tell a person what I want. They give me no benefit and make my experience worse. Especially when I've mistakenly chosen the wrong thing.

I also dislike having to use a screen rather that interacting with a person for this sort of thing in the first place, but that's personal preference rather than anything about the kiosk system in particular.
We take up arms against a sea of robots. And, by opposing, end them.
> I'd love to connect everything to the person--including future me--who would find it useful (or thinks they would in the moment) but it's often not practical.

It actually amazes me that this isn't a well-solved problem by now. We've got various marketplaces for used items (eBay, CL, FB Marketplace, etc.) and we've got various rental/sharing platforms for niche things (Uber, Airbnb, etc.) and those are decent for what they are, yet somehow the inherent inefficiencies (effort to list an item, effort to discover an item, platform fees, etc.) suggest that there is a lot of room for improvement.

It's kind of like how scheduling assistant features/products, such as Calendly, offer a massive improvement over writing messages back and forth along the lines of "send me your availability," yet a verbal/synchronous discussion isn't nearly as bad as written/async, since it gets you across the finish line quickly despite many round trips, so lots of people are fine doing that instead of using efficient tools, so there's no mass adoption/demand.
I am curious whether you are a UK citizen? In general, British law does not protect privacy, and is far less liberal (in the classical sense) than outsiders expect. The bits you cite seem fairly typical for UK expectations and rights.
I believe I probably started playing it when it came out, but abandoned it pretty early on, hence my initial confusion - like something you half remember.

The first 3 games though were great in their different ways, but Quake 1 will always be my favourite.
I'm struggling to imagine how bad a school in the UK would have to be to really be a complete waste of time. For example, there must be some use in learning basic mathematical concepts and having access to someone who can help you when you get stuck on them. If you were just a super bright kid who didn't need any support to learn that stuff then I can see more where you are coming from, but that obviously isn't the typical case.
> Why mock calls to a datastore when it’s super easy to spin up an ephemeral postgresql instance to test on?

It's actually super hard to get Postgres to fail, which is what you will be most interested in testing. Granted, you would probably use stubbing for that instead.

> had a hidden exponential effect

Quadratic, I believe. You create a sequence of strings of length 1, 2, 3, ..., n, which is about n^2/2. Of course it isn't that simple (memory alignment and all that), but it doesn't look exponential.
And then place a few crayons at the venue if you care about the smiley.
> Never mind the actual security and quality of the code

Security is not about code quality, it's about how quickly you can mitigate mistakes. And "quickly" meaning since around 2005ish that it is done in an automated manner.

For BSDs, you will always need a dedicated person that is not only able to read code, but also able to maintain patchsets, roll out an update mirror for themselves, and understand _every line of code_ of the distribution, because BSD doesn't have a workflow to let package maintainers communicate what happened in CVEs so that their using parties can consume that data in an automated manner.

Nobody will do that job correctly, because nobody can. If you claim you can do, you must be the all knowing "God of compliance" how you put it. If you think you don't make programming mistakes, guess what, you are wrong.

Get over your elitarian opinion and realize that all humans make mistakes, therefore automated tools must adapt to that scenario and ease up mitigating those issues.

And that's where open industry standards like OVAL come in.
if you want to do this yourself you're going to want stable diffusion and one of the clipspace face embedding controlnets (tencent Photomaker is one), the ones that keep the input pose exactly are likely using depth as well or maybe straight image2image, I demoed something like this at open sauce this weekend making pixel art on an ancient dot matrix printer.

I'll endeavor to package everything up and post a repo in the near future, this sort of low effort sass stuff really irritates me. I'll do my best to replicate this functionality in a easy to use open source UI/UX
It's complex and there is no single reason for employers to be for or against WFH.
Absolutely. People should be able to buy and use products they want, and have some reasonable assurances they're getting what the packaging says they're getting, and they can access adequate information to make an informed decision about it. The drug war impedes all these things for no benefit

Why has nobody mentioned Chomsky in this thread? The correspondence in the results between American English and Tamil just seems like something that should shout Chomsky. I know little about it, but some form of universality in language, and how humans see the shape of it, seems apt as a starting point.
You can do this with a Rasberry Pi 400, no problem. I have one running https://retropie.org.uk/ and it works great.
Huawei didn't have the best phones by far. DJI is miles ahead of anything else one can buy.
So the amendment/act [0] makes a change to "47 U.S. Code § 1601 - Determination of communications equipment or services posing national security risks" [1] to add DJI. Although the direct inclusion of an entity in US code is odd, it does follow from the 2019 NDAA (Sec. 889. Prohibition on certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment. "...Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation...") which included based on that bill's text.

Can we be sure it's social media at all? Or is it a behavior issue? Does it matter if they are watching tiktok or mucking with a calendar if they aren't participating in class?

Enforcement will likely come down to don't do stupid shit with your phone or risk losing it. Ignoring class for a phone is stupid shit regardless of what's on the screen.
Seems nice. I'd use if it was a GIMP plugin.
Just curious, is there really a "trading" aspect or is it more for deck-building type games?

Trading card games usually have a notion of rarity, collection, and, well, trading. It is a controversial aspect so I understand that you want to stay away from that as much as possible. But if you embrace this aspect, how would it be implemented?
This is so interesting. I've heard that the whole "learning styles" thing is basically bunk, but this really reminds me of that.

I don't find the kind of schematics you're asking for to be useful at all. When I do come across them, I see them as busy-work that people had to make to justify starting some project, or because it's a required artifact. But I never think "oh good, here's a useful thing".

Those are honestly my unconscious thoughts on these sorts of things. But I do realize, if I think about it consciously for a moment, that some people must find this sort of thing useful.

But it's just different strokes for different folks! What I want is a description of the goals of a piece of software - what should I expect to be able to do with this? - and an entry-point, and prose documentation on what each component of the code is and why it exists. But a visual birds eye view of what is connected to what is just not how I go about understanding things.
> Dunn said that many people might be happier if they focus on the best ways to use the money they have, rather than on getting more of it.

So out of touch. Sure, the >$200k bracket saying they also need a 50% raise to be happier is a bit rich, but for a anyone else, especially <$100k, people don’t have time to make their money work better for them.

The whole complaint about wage stagnation is that people need to work multiple jobs, commute long hours, etc so they don’t have time to eat well, go to the doctor, spend time with kids, or whatever they need to be happier. Whoever says otherwise either doesn’t live in our society or is already over the wage hump of living comfortably.
So is the reason why LLMs don't say when they don't know something and instead make up something that "sounds right" because the RLHF has taught it to always give an answer?

And if that's the case, why? Is that really what people want an LLM to do? I feel like I would rather it say when it doesn't know something.
US is spiralling down and I feel like I am in a Truman Show with egregious presidential behaviours, dragging the world into wars which it doesn't need, banning chips, even sanctioning open source (RISC) software.

And this is further making the rest of the world enraged, china more so. Today they released Open source Deep Seek which beats GPT 4o in coding problems.

The train has left the station and the US is stuck. On the wrong platform. With no ticket.

We are missing a big opportunity here! Training datasets should be considered a worldwide Commons and any profits made from those training sets should be fed back into national (or even worldwide) sovereign funds. If they go to profit from our work, we should get a share of those profits equivalent to or in excess of what shareholders make.
If you look at that linked guardian article (which I think is a great article BTW), it would seem that what is considered "highly consolidated" in the grocery world is still generally less consolidated than the tech world. E.g. if you look at the soft drink data, it's ~ 42% Coca-Cola, 27% PepsiCo, and 23% Keurig Dr Pepper, so then about 7% "other". That actually seems like a well-functioning market with competition to me (though I'm sure there could be regional areas where this is widely skewed).

Still, I do agree with you that there are some areas where a single company controls the vast majority of the market, and furthermore it got there by buying up a lot of brands, and this looks like there would be some pretty straightforward antitrust cases here. E.g. Grupo Bimbo alone controls nearly 2/3 of the bagel market, Danone controls nearly 80% of the refrigerated soy milk market, PepsiCo controls 87.5% of the dip market. Furthermore, I think the article does a great job exposing "the illusion of choice", i.e. in dips PepsiCo owns Tostitos, Lays, Fritos, and Doritos brands.
I wonder if that wouldn't allow gas stations to add EV charging stations. The square surface of a gas station is rather limited, which is not an issue when you can fill up in a minute or so. But if it takes you 30 minutes to recharge, the gas station can't serve enough customers to sustain their business. However, if you can get to a full charge in 10 minutes or 80% in 5 (I'm guess the last 20% is slower, etc.), then EV charging can become a viable business for gas stations.

The old hack doesn't work anymore.
I think the military perspective at this point is that they want drones at all price points. Those 20-50k drones, I assume you mean like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZALA_Lancet and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HESA_Shahed_136?

The cost estimates for those are quite wide, but in terms of raw materials even those low-cost prices are kind of absurd right? $20,000 for a few motors, batteries, basically a modern smartphone and 20-40 pounds of explosive? The military expects that they will get a lot cheaper, which means you need to be able to counter them at least as cheaply.
We should ban Creality and Bambu Lab too. Imagine if we also strangled consumer 3D printing for dumb reasons. You should only be allowed to print on $100k+ Stratasys for natsec reasons, of course.
Because you have 40000 tests, and an in memory object means they can run in seconds. And the real thing runs in minutes.

We live in the time of warning labels on everything.

Its just an excuse not to ban whatever they put the labels on.

Cigarettes, Sugar, Liquorice, Caffeine over 150 mg/l, Allura red (E129), Aspartame, Carmoisine (E122), Polyols, Ponceau 4R (E124), Quinoline yellow (E104), Raw milk, Skimmed milk with non-milk fat, Sulphur dioxide over 10mg/l, Sunset yellow (E110), Sweeteners, Tartrazine (E102).

Just a few warning label products that really should be banned!

We literally discovered a 32,000 year old burial site where a hunter put a mammoth bone in their deceased dogs mouth when they buried him.

https://www.boehringer-ingelheim.com/animal-health/our-respo...

That's not utilitarian, to give funerary care.

Another grave site in Germany from 14,000 years ago had a dog buried with a man and a woman, treating it as a family member.

We literally have had fur babies since before we had civilization.

Once you get there, there's far more evidence: ancient Greeks burying pets and writing inscriptions about how they loved them, dogs and baboons were kept as pets in ancient Egypt, and given names, which was a big deal in Egyptian religion, and wasn't done for utility animals at all.

The catch-22 with refactoring to be able to write unit tests is that refactoring introduces risk as you are changing code, and you need tests to help reduce that risk. But you can't easily write tests without refactoring. This has been a very difficult problem for the team I'm currently on.

The only strategy I'm aware of is described in `Working Effectively With Legacy Code`, where you start by writing throwaway unit or E2E tests that give you "cover" for being able to refactor. These tests depend on the implementation or may use mocking just to get started. Then you refactor, and write better unit tests. Then get rid of the throwaway tests.
I am suprised they allowed them at first to begin with.
The second ChatGPT example proof is mostly fine, except it failed to see that the claimed theorem isn't actually true at d = 2. (It writes "d ≥ 2" for a step in its reasoning where d ≥ 3 is actually required.)

You can decline this at any age. What can they do? Well turns out at that point they can only threaten to or apply violence or confiscate it until you hand over the details, none of which are "reasonable in all circumstances" as quoted in the legislation.

So the correct answer is to tell your kids to tell them to get fucked and call you. At that point, remind them that the device is your property, decline their request and they can only threaten you, which is 100% illegal.

I am more worried about the teachers from experience than the other students. Some of them I have encountered over the last 15 years of having three kids at school have been right nasty pieces of work and should not be in a position to have power over a minor.
I Supercharge at the grocery store, Target, etc vs a gas station. Certainly, gas stations are options when there is no other business around, like Buc-ee's, but I'd prefer to dwell somewhere decent vs your typical minimum viable gas station. Tesla colocates Supercharger stations at Meijer grocery stores in the Midwest for example, although they also have one at the Chattanooga airport in TN (was hard to find a better location early days there).

If you put fast chargers at places people already go today, you don't need gas stations outside of travel routes.
In the UK, the native indigenous people have a birth rate below replacement rate (note that 'native indigenous' is not 'UK-born' [1]), meaning the requirement for housing should be relatively low. In spite of this, the population of the UK in the last 10 years has increased by at least 6.8% [2].

It remains unclear why we are surprised there is suddenly a housing crisis. /s
