That goes for both sides, every time someone repeats the meme "capitalism bad!" they are perpetuating their own crusade, at that time the gloves are off and it is free to engage with them. You can see it in this thread where people started out by trash talking capitalism, at that point it is ok to go and defend capitalism according to HN guidelines even if you do it in every thread where people start attacking capitalism.

Its those who start attacking capitalism everywhere that needs to stop if this happens too often, since they are almost always the instigators.
>> Fleet response can influence the Waymo Driver's path, whether indirectly through indicating lane closures, explicitly requesting the AV use a particular lane, or, in the most complex scenarios, explicitly proposing a path for the vehicle to consider. The Waymo Driver evaluates the input from fleet response and independently remains in control of driving. This collaboration enhances the rider experience by efficiently guiding them to their destinations

In my reading this is trying very hard to put a self-driving spin on an interface that allows a human operator to set waypoints for a robot to follow. This should at best be called "human remote-assisted self-driving", rather than "self-driving".

Btw, NASA uses a similar setup for its Mars rovers with autonomous navigation capabilities, like Perseverance. There was a report that described how humans on Earth can guide Perseverance to plan paths avoiding areas with potentially deep sand where the rover can get seriously stuck. The human operators draw the limits of what seems to them to be the safe area and the rover's onboard planner than plans a path through the safe area. That's still the farthest that autonomous navigation can go; pun not intended.

Wouldn't the client being open source mean botting is essentially impossible to control?

> I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product.

First time I'm reading up on it, but seems Android was both conceived as an idea and worked on as a mobile idea before Jobs started thinking about the iPhone?

> Android Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California, in October 2003 by Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White. [...] The early intentions of the company were to develop an advanced operating system for digital cameras, and this was the basis of its pitch to investors in April 2004 [...] and five months later it had diverted its efforts and was pitching Android as a handset operating system that would rival Symbian and Microsoft Windows Mobile.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)

> In 2005, when Steve Jobs began planning the iPhone, he had a choice to either "shrink the Mac, which would be an epic feat of engineering, or enlarge the iPod". Jobs favored the former approach but pitted the Macintosh and iPod teams, led by Scott Forstall and Tony Fadell, respectively, against each other in an internal competition, with Forstall winning by creating iPhone OS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS

Would seem like Android was ideated around 2004, while iOS ("iPhone OS") was ideated in 2005.

Could also just be an attempt at rewriting history, wouldn't be the first time...
Yes, but when you have 100 atoms and a 300ms round trip time (New Zealand to anywhere, or a satellite link in any part of the world) that's the difference between the application starting in 0.3 seconds or 30 seconds. Add a few more round trips for other stuff: 2 seconds or 32 seconds. Of course interning atoms isn't the only thing apps do on startup that is unnecessarily serialized. There could well be another 100 unnecessary round trips.

If you've ever actually tried using that configuration, you might notice that every part of every application suffers from this same problem. Almost all slowness of remote X11 used to be caused by stacking up round trip delays. Probably still is, though there's another cause now, which is transferring all the pixel data because apps treat it as a dumb pixel pipe.

This isn't a niche problem and it doesn't only affect application startup.
If you have any accounts on the domain, then yeah probably keep. That's what I'd do at least.
How would you determine if someone qualifies as an author deserving full salary? Can I become an author by simply meeting a word count quota? What prevents a large portion of the population from quitting their jobs and becoming authors instead?
The devx is terrible. I came back to native iOS and SwiftUI. to upgrade some of my old apps after working in flutter for the last six months and I've been astonished at how slow and clunky it is. Runtime performance can also be quite bad if you do things in a straightforward way and optimizing things is not very straightforward.

Xcode is still awful too.

<< It is what it is and will work fine if you use it the way it's intended.

That may be true for work PCs, where my access is already restricted and heavily monitored, but I don't accept that for my personal machine.

<< It's because people fuck with the registry,

Hey, if MS wants to put configs somewhere else that is cool too. I don't understand how it is somehow expected that I don't touch the magic box ( because it is all held by rubber band and glue ). It is not some rinky-dink shop that made its first release. It is a global company. I simply expect more.

<< Install updates as they come.

This is for the user to decide. I am personally livid that windows machines update bios these days without any user interaction. If I ever saw retarded setting just waiting to cause a major issue, this is it.

<< Just leave things alone and stop trying to customize it like a Linux box

I use my Windows instance in a VM so I suppose I technically am leaving it mostly alone, but even then I chose to make some changes to registry to make the access easier for myself.

If I may get a little personal for a moment. I think your professional experience may be clouding your judgment in this case. I see it fairly often across a wide variety of professions, where various representatives consider client/user/buyer a hindrance of sorts that should make their lives easier 'by just doing X'. The thing is, the relationship is really not about making the representative's life easier.

That's gonna work great except for the covered rural areas where the forests block the sun from efficient solar and where there are no mobile network services for miles.

There are tens of thousands of families living with those conditions. This is the reason the copper network still matters. It's the only thing available for many.

I'm 11 miles from the Googleplex and there's no cell, no cable, no fiber and PG&E is out 12 days a year during summer and winter. AT&T's landline is our only assured connection to the outside world and they even plant generators up the road during the winter to keep it alive during power outages. Our neighborhood's only other connection, a WISP that relies on radios mounted a couple hundred feet up tall redwoods, is unreliable during these widespread power outages.

We've got AT&T copper and HAM and that's how we reach the sheriff in emergencies, like the raging wildfires of the last few decades. And we've got it good for being in one of the wealthiest counties in the state with nearby population centers. The rural north and big parts of the central valley don't even have the WISPs and often can't drive 5 minutes to a signal like we can.

"Just drop a $10 kit" is either magical or lazy thinking.
Inside of any one distribution of Linux is what feels like a prom dress made out of fabric remnants.

It feels like they don't have UX designers planning the workflows (or even involved). And that's largely because they don't, right? They have developers building some stuff and doing it however they want, and not really following any sort of enforced brand or style guidelines.

Mostly the various Linux distros still feel like "model train sets" -- built by one guy, for one guy to enjoy alone in his basement. It's work to build something as part of a larger team... designers, developers... then you'd need a manager... and probably some sales people to keep it all funded... easier to just avoid all that stuff and build a model train set. (=

Most of the distros don't take kindly to UX people or product people giving suggestions on GitHub, or other places. It's very much a "if you aren't a dev, we don't want your input" type situation. "You don't get to tell us what to build, not here, not outside of work..." and until Linux makes a real effort to include a variety of people (especially designers!) in the build process, the results will always be the same.
I think that sounds normal. The mind's eye is more like evoking the sense of seeing something without actually seeing it.
I only ran Windows (11) for gaming and today I tried to install Steam with Proton and... all games just work. Some (like Quake Champions) even work better without lags and better graphics.

I think I might be able to completely get rid of Windows now.
I followed tutorials to remove the search using the internet.

Three days later the computer rebooted and had undone all my fixes and now search was back to using the web!

Definitely never felt like MY system. It feels like a creepy corporation changing my settings. Which is exactly what it does.

Another three days later, Recall was announced.

Three days later, I wiped Windows from all my computers.

All going well for me, I love Pop!_OS
I'm curious how you came to this conclusion. Bot detection isn't typically done clientside these days, hasn't for a long time. Have you ever played Runescape?

Replicators can produce so much mass so quickly, they pose an existential threat to public health and safety.

It is absolutely essential that we deploy this technology safely and responsibly, with appropriate guardrails in place.

Therefore we have gated all access behind our API. You can’t sign up from a VPN, and must provide a phone number and strong identity-linked payment card to receive an API key. Anonymous use for research or controversial applications is thus impossible. Contact your sales rep for a limit increase if you find yourself regularly rate limited. Requests for all teas, including earl grey, do not count against your rate limit.

Naturally, there are certain prompts that we must prohibit, for legal or regulatory reasons. Our health and safety team has extensive documentation on the knowledge base about what is and is not permitted under our Community Guidelines, which were not created or endorsed by the community and are hard and fast rules, not guidelines at all. We reserve the right to apply these at our sole discretion, and there is no appeal.

You will receive the appropriately coded 4xx errors from the API when requesting any pharmaceuticals (speak to your doctor) or potentially poisonous flora.

Our products cannot be used to break the laws in your jurisdiction. Please do not request champagne, parmiggano-reggiano, roquefort, or any other DOP-restricted items. Attempts to circumvent this blocking via synthesizing specific aromatics or
flavors may result in a protected IP strike against your account.

Placing orders for certain precursors will result in an immediate termination of services. Do not attempt to evade a ban using multiple accounts, as this may result in your IP range or country being blocked from
our API.

Do not use our service to manufacture explosives, regardless of whether or not it’s legal in your jurisdiction, regardless of whether or not you are licensed to use, store, and handle explosives, regardless of whether or not they’re just sidewalk snaps for your kids. We don’t understand nuance or personal responsibility, only liability.

Personal accounts are restricted from producing liquid and solid fuels and fuel sources. Contact sales if you wish to create an organization account for your enterprise (per-user and fleet size license charges may apply).

When agreeing to our terms of service, you must waive your right to a jury trial and agree only to binding arbitration. No class actions either.

For quality and training purposes, your complete order history will be stored in our database forever.

Marvin has factories in 10 other cities and towns across North America, but it doesn’t want to move jobs away from its biggest factory because the company and its hometown are inextricably linked.

My first thought was they should build factories in the South where their are workers (presumably) but it was heartwarming to see that this is more about building the community, than the company.

Interesting. My wife swears she has no visual mind, but she has remarkable spatial awareness when it comes to “this object will fit in that space, and must go through this sequence of manoeuvres to reach it” - she’d have Dirk Gently’s sofa up the stairs in a whistle.

She does get lost in car parks and shops, however, so it appears that either there’s a separate system for navigational reasoning, or she just doesn’t apply it to some contexts.
There were a vast number of technical books on the internet archive, that was mostly what I used it for. They’re not easily accessible elsewhere, maybe pirated from random torrent sites but they’re not discoverable or easily searched.
I think the justification is that outside of pathological cases, it allows writing clean code without too many type annotations, and the compiler just figures out everything for you.
In my experience large corporate Windows installs don’t have these hostile features.

But I don’t know how much credit is due to ongoing config work by central IT versus Microsoft.

I would say "players" using bots is a fairly minor problem. The overwhelming majority of the bots around are from people making money out of them. I'm not sure if many of these people really play the game.

For people who don't play the game it might be hard to understand the scale of the botting problem. Recently the majority of the top 100 accounts in the highscores for killing a boss called leviathan got banned. Its not unlikely that in the top 100 there was one real human (who went fron rank 77 to rank 14 in the highscores because so many who were ahead of him got deleted).
Xerox sold access to PARC to Jobs in return for access to pre-IPO stock in Apple.
A lifetime ago I wrote an OpenCV blob detection auto-mining tool for it:

Fun though.
For those unfamiliar, it's worth pointing out the OSRS team at Jagex operates pretty differently from most game companies. Nearly every change made to the game is run past the community in the form of in-game polls. Generally, the dev team doesn't build things that the community doesn't want.

OSRS came to be after years of updates and changes to RS3 which slowly alienated the original base. Now, what was originally a reboot of a 2007 backup of the source has hugely eclipsed the original in popularity. Pretty great story.

let horizpadding = self.collectionView.frame.width - ((5*50)+(4*25))
Expression took 1299ms to type-check (limit: 500ms)

Now obviously this expression could have been simplified long ago as a single constant, but the values themselves were written to help others understand what that constant meant (5 elements that are 50px wide) + (4 gutters that are 25px wide)
In terms of evolution, the fitness of a species is defined by its ability to reproduce. In the circumstances you describe, selection pressure exists for the species that can reproduce the fastest. Predators or resource constraints are not a requirement for evolution.
Those stats are probably very different for babies, who are more fragile and could get seriously hurt even at lower speeds.
Yep. It's one of the more important parts of copyright! Nobody will ever hear about most stuff in the public domain. Letting people benefit from hauling it out of obscurity with updates is good for the commons. Disney took it to an extreme, but I probably never would have heard of the stories they pulled from if someone didn't make hit cartoon movies based on them.
Up and down quarks have names that make perfect sense, they are derived from the isospin which in turn derives from spin (spin-1/2 was the only other well-known object in physics that had the same symmetry properties). Which one is up and which one is down is the only arbitrary choice.

Using "positive" and "negative" would have been a disaster. What charge does a positive antiquark have?
> Reading the comments by systemd developers on that bug, I am now confused about what the --purge option is actually for.

Its intended for package management (basically the entire sd-tmpfiles is intended primarily for package management), specifically when uninstalling a package it is used to clean up the dirs/files created by that package (while on the other end it is used to create dirs/files when installing).
while it is also true that it is harder to get money for any print if there is anything else available at all.

It makes it beneficial to not reprint anything or otherwise be available.
Apologies, poor joke around 'proving a negative' in a sense :P

My delay with a lot of these things could be related to privacy implications, but really, it's mostly autonomy.

A lot of what's sold/offered has become depdendency forming. Either fairly obviously as a subscription, or more nefariously, a constant drip of feel-good chemicals.

Behind all of this, no need is really serviced, so I consider a lot of it twisted rent-seeking 'opportunity cost'.

I realize this is nearing Marxist talk or something, but there hasn't been some life-changing invention that's caught my interest since the desktop computer. I've bought/sold several laptops without using them.

My phone is on life support. If not for the occasional trip, I wouldn't even be eyeing a flip phone/burner. I'd go off-grid like it's 1995 but occasionally 'dial in' on a land line.

My thesis, really, is this: it's everything else that's making me this way. Reaction to overwhelming loudness!

There's a lot of PR about this stuff, but I think it's rooted in reality. Privacy/autonomy are related and I'm not smart enough to split the difference :D
Jobs famously muscled his way in and took their ideas, albeit from a dumb board.

Famous story:

Steve Jobs confronted Bill Gates after he announced Windows' GUI OS. "You’re stealing from us!” Bill replied "I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."

It’s a shame we still haven’t built a simple, universal direct payment system that anyone can use to send money to anyone else. By simple I mean my grandparents can figure it out themselves so don’t say bitcoin.

This analogy may be less communicative than you think, as for me, reading a book is like watching a movie - I don’t see the words on the page, I see what’s happening in the book.
I think that that is created by you is a part of you, so even if AI agents replace humans, it won't be "extinction", just existence in a new form.

But yes, more generally, I'm worried that people create something that will "lock" the world in a primitive, narrow-minded, uninterested structure devoid of potential of richness and diversity of forms and existence.
Same way I remember somebody's name.

Do you picture name tags on people? It just comes out of nothing in my head.
Reportedly, the original Android was more of a Blackberry ripoff, with a keyboard and directional keys instead of a touchscreen. Once they saw what the iPhone was doing, they quickly pivoted and changed the whole product, so the Android we see today has nothing to do with the Android of 2004.
