But again, why should the government regulate this? We don't have a fundamental right to own and use computers, or to offline accounts for our computers.

What legal line could be drawn to allow the government to regulate this without regulating all kinds of product and business decisions? Would it be reasonable for them to regulate what colors of crayons must be included in ever box of Crayola crayons? And if not, what is the legal boundry allowing them to say what features an OS has without allowing the crayon regulation?
Isn't Italy a country where "mama hotels" come from? There was some statistic showing that average age of man leaving parents house is 39 years or so.

I was going to alone to elementary school since second day as well. I had 2 younger siblings, it was not possible for my parents to take me at school at that time. Nowadays, having siblings is not common when US fertility rate is 1.6 and in EU 1.4 per woman.

Maybe I'm just old but I find the UX of Discord pretty bad. Not just aesthetics, but the entire information hierarchy doesn't really work for me. Perhaps it's because it started as a gaming thing (IIRC?) before branching out to more general use cases.
> It's honestly shocking to me how many anarcho-capitalists there are, especially here on HN

All that anarcho-capitalism hubris faltered when SVB went under, and suddenly libertarians were begging daddy government to make them whole.

"Free market"? You can find it in the dictionary, somewhere in between "Bullshit" and "Hypocrisy".

The product is not just the program. People don't just care about function, they care about how the app makes them feel, how it affects how they think others perceive them, etc. -- the companies that can afford to market and make their experiences sexy will run laps around purely functional apps that can't, no matter how well they solve the problem (unfortunately). Good marketers and designers do not have the same proclivities towards working for free as developers do.

The hope is that the markets are large enough that niche apps can carve out a healthy revenue with a more personal, "homegrown" experience. This is where my product lives, and so far it's worked well enough.

Also, switching cost is never zero or even close to it. The user still has to click a button. I know it sounds like I'm being facetious, but coming from a large-scale B2C industry, a single button click is an enormous obstacle.
I like these features.
Sure, I think your characterisation of "people who are always bored are boring people" is much more credible! Thanks for the thoughts - I must return to doing the boring things I need to do today that I'm avoiding :)
I live in UAE, there is no tax here, just capitalism, and life is good.
Many creative jobs have been outsourced from the west to the east because of price and velocity, many lost their job already to cheap Indian labour.

That would mean they would take a lot from India.
> but it's still totally different in both scale and nature from what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

Because if Americans kill people, it is an act of justice, of spreading democracy (see also Irak, Afganistan, Yemen, various Latin American and African countries) not a killing. /s
> Threads are horrible, it's where messages go to hide and die because nobody notices them.

Threads are kinda horses-for-courses.

If you've got a 3000+ person organisation, they're useful because all-to-all messaging channels don't scale very well. If you've got a 500-member #linux-users channel you can have multiple discussions going on in different threads without them getting mixed up, and when someone posts about wifi issues some people can jump in to help without every single message alerting all 500 members.

On the other hand, if your organisation only has 30 people? Channels alone are probably all you need.
Deleted messages are harder to subpoena.
In the context of the elections, it seems like the US government/Biden admin "fucking" with Assange would probably be detrimental, considering parts of the MAGA movement is "We <3 Russia"/susceptible to Russian propaganda - and Assange is Russia-friendly since he apparently got Hillary's emails from them. They can twist it as Democrats being the warmongers (yeah it requires insane logic-bending, but hey, MAGA are experts at that) and Assange the pro-peace leaker.

So MAGA would probably take up his cause, but with the Biden admin freeing him (fingers crossed), that's one less thing they can use against Biden in the elections.
> I for one run an old win10 just for gaming and some legacy software. Will keep until EOL of win10 and then check alternatives

Same story here, I think the usability of Windows 10 LTSC IoT is pretty much unmatched.

It'll get security updates until 2032, doesn't have preinstalled bloat like crandy crush or the Microsoft store, lets you reschedule updates freely, and has the expanded features of Pro/Enterprise editions (group policies, RDP, Bitlocker, etc)
On the contrary, not using LLM extensively makes you more susceptible to slop in all forms as you haven't learned to avoid it by seeing how the sausage is made. Most bias you see in media is surface level anyway it's not deep divable, cable news is such a limited hangout it could only add to the experience to push against in a pinch like OP's debate summary.

For some reason people trust the error rate of the internet over the single entity LLM, it all depends on correct use and remaining sceptical. Either way the same gambit that got everyone online will get everyone on LLMs: I'll 1000x your knowledge for some low % error rate (reducing every month).

It's like muskets that didn't shoot straight either when they first arrived but you could compensate and you'd be unwise to stick to the broadsword because of tradition. Ask Scottish highlanders.

> How about adding a grid feature so that I can view multiple tabs in a grid, side-by-side instead of having to manually resize multiple windows everytime I need to do this? I can't imagine I am the only one needing this.

This seems like the job of your WM/OS, not the browser.

> Or being able to mark a window as "main" so even if I accidentally close it first, I don't lose all my pinned tabs upon restart? Again, I'm sure many people have burnt their fingers with this long-standing issue.

IIRC, Firefox has just about the same built-in session recovery features as the other major browsers. There's also session management extensions as a backup.
great article

> While protecting the innocence of children by sheltering them from overly gruesome material is something all good parents seek to do, have we swung so far in our attempt to protect children that we don’t tell stories that help them process dark things?

if I were him I would take the first flight to Moscow, can't trust the Australian government, they're a US vassal state, sabotaging their own economy and relationship with China to please the US. Safer to go an enemy state of the US in this case. There's a reason Snowden's still alive while all those Boeing and other whistleblowers are either dead or jailed.
I think there are far, far too many unknowns and possibilities regarding the murder of Olof Palme to warrant the word "probably" where you use it!
My issue is that he was influenced by Russia. Aka they threatened his life and he then proceeded to leak information about the US but keep Russian secrets.

I mean I don’t blame him for not wanting to be murdered by Russia but he isn’t a freedom fighter when he only leaks things for countries that don’t directly threaten his life.
It's not necessary to bring Python into it, Bash can handle filenames with weird characters properly if you know how to use it.

E.g. instead of `ls | grep -Ev 'wav|draft'`, you'd have to do something like

for filename in *; do
if grep -E 'wav|draft' >/dev/null <<< "$filename"
then : # ...
fi
done

Of course, it's more convoluted, but when you're writing scripts that might be used for a long time and by many people, it helps to know that it is possible to write robust things. Tools like shellcheck certainly help.
In 2016, I built a PWA that can synchronize using two different backends: AWS if the user doesn't care where the data is being saved to or WebDAV (in my case, a Nextcloud instance). Sadly, I built it in prototype style and didn't take the time to fix/rebuild things properly.

But I have used this app every week since, and one of the lessons is that operations-based files grow pretty quickly. If you want to keep sync times short and bandwidth usage to a minimum, you have to consider how you keep read and write times to a minimum. I use localStorage for the client-side copy, and reaching the 5 MB quota isn't that hard either. These things can be solved, but you have to consider them during the design phase.

So yes, it's cool stuff, but the story isn't over with using automerge and op-based files.
Ask HN: How has AI changed your learning methods?
While doing some research on a topic, I was wondering about the impact of AI on traditional study methods.

Any real-world experiences from students or teachers? Is there any research on the impact of AI on learning outcomes?
Yes I also think that everyone that disagrees with me is stupid and easily manipulated.... (not smart like me).
Just expressing it in a few less words...
Free pair of knee-high socks with every cert.
You can, the issue is more that SV has way too little understanding of the world for the influence it has.
I won't claim Assange had great security, I don't think even he would. Still, publishing any key you get without express permission seems suspect.

The key was public and the database was public. If you're an informant, would you rather be completely unaware of that while the local intelligence organization is already digging through it or have the whole world know including people that could help/warn you? I don't think "sit on it" is obviously the best choice.
> I fail to see

Clearly you don’t want to see, but you lost the argument anyway.

Some basic advice, if you don’t want to come off as a fool try actually responding to an agreement as presented. You may still lose, but at least it doesn’t look like you’re hiding.

I like this article, and got really interested when the author says that “neither avoiding or resigning to boredom is the answer.”

I was curious to see the non-obvious, eye-opening solution.

But the solution is a reworded “resign yourself to boredom.”

I still appreciate this conclusion, and it’s the one I expected from the article’s opener, but I’m not sure how else to describe fixing this.

Expect to be bored. It’s a superpower if you can embrace it. Definitely not healthy to flit from one exciting but fleeting activity to the next.

Using Microsoft products is like waking up and finding someone’s hand down our pants.

Makes perfect sense.
First of all, the article nails it. Ashley Madison wasn't a dating site that lost sensitive personal data, it was a scam site full of bots.

> And the men had to pay for every single message they sent. For most of their millions of users, Ashley Madison affairs were entirely a fantasy built out of threadbare chatbot pick-up lines like “how r u?” or “whats up?”

Taking it one step further: Apparently the millions of male users were unable to tell this site apart from any of the "legitimate" dating sites like Tinder.

For the male users, this site offered quite the same experience. You pay for attention, get a few chats full of dry "how r u"s and nothing further happens.
You're being ridiculous. American military spending has produced enough power to defeat this many times over. You have the power to invade and occupy the country, you have the power to indiscriminately destroy trucks and civilian infrastructure that might be transporting missiles, you have the power to enforce a total blockade, there are many helpful things you could do.

The problem is, of course, that you don't want to for the very sensible reason that it would be a political and humanitarian nightmare.
It’s great to add support for 7z and such, but there may be a problem.

My friends in game dev frequently work with large files. They often bundle and compress them for storage and sharing. They were happy to hear that Windows would add support for these formats directly rather than requiring third party software to get the job done.

Sadly, the people who tried it reported back that the Windows-provided functionality was incredibly slow. When working with files of immense size like they do, using the official Windows compression and decompression was costing them significantly more time looking at progress bars than the third party apps.

If this is true in the final stable release, then what’s the point of adding the feature at all? It only helps out people who rarely use those compression formats, and only work with smaller files.
It's not turned on by default (yet)
Both "everything in the cloud" and "everything local" have their obvious technical advantages, and I think they are mostly well understood. What really drives the swing of the pendulum are the business incentives.

Is the goal to sell mainframes? Then tell customers than thin clients powered by a mainframe allow for easy collaboration, centralized backups and administration, and lower total cost of ownership.

Do you want recurring SaaS revenue? Then tell customers that they don't want the hassle of maintaining a complicated server architecture, that security updates mean servers need constant maintenance, and that integrating with many 3rd party SaaS apps makes cloud hosting the logical choice.

We're currently working on an Local First (and E2EE) app that syncs with CRDTs. The server has been reduced to a single go executable that more or less broadcasts the mutation messages to the different clients when they come online. The tech is very cool and it's what we think makes the most sense for the user. But what we've also realized is that by architecting our software like this we have torpedoed our business model. Nobody is going to pay $25 per user per seat per month when it's obvious that the app runs locally and not that much is happening on the server side.

Local First, Forever is good for the user. Open data formats are good for the user. Being able to self-host is good for the user. But I suspect it will be very difficult to make software like this profitably. Adobe's stock went 20x after they adopted a per seat subscription model. This Local First trend, if it is here to stay (and I hope it will be) might destroy a lot of SaaS business models.
"Major newspaper often offer reprints or back issues."

Perhaps younger readers have never experienced looking at microfiche of old newspapers in a library. Analog machines, not computers, but, if memory serves me correctly, the archives were far more complete than the so-called "tech" company-mediated, advertising-based nonsense what we have today on the www. And the analog fidelity was great.

Google ultimately failed to "organise the world's information" to the extent that it previously was organised by public libraries. Instead they turned finding public information into a game designed to support a massive programmatic advertising racket. The www has more volume perhaps than pre-internet libraries but 1. an enormous amount of it is garbage and 2. it is not organised for systematic browsing (leading to discovery) nor serious, methodical research. It is optimised for "clicks" and "views", selling ad services, not learning. There is no way to "browse the stacks" to see how this information is organised. It's all "secret". Imagine a public library that had to hide its operations as a "trade secret". Imagine that it tried to intermedite which stacks a patron will browse, for commercial purposes.

The point is that public libraries had extensive collections of newpapers and periodicals. The public could do serious research. But the www is dominated by advertisers and most of the information published is influenced by commercial motives. And it's all intermediated by a gatekeeper that sells ad services: Google.

If I want to use the internet (cf. www) for library research I still somtimes search library catalogs via z39.50 if the library's website is cludgy.
Have these gotten mature enough to actually use? A few years ago, every single one I tested would just give you a different voltage if it couldn't trigger the correct voltage, which is obviously terrible.
> You might enjoy a variety of `find` based commands, e.g. `find -maxdepth 1 -iregex ".*\.(wav|draft)" | xargs echo "found file:"`

I installed it on my ThinkPad T520 and the Bluetooth is unreliable and restart doesn't work. When I try to restart the laptop it looks like it powers down but then it displays an error message and hangs before it reboots.

Previously the laptop had Windows 10 on it and there were no Bluetooth or reboot issues. Unfortunately, Windows 11 doesn't work on it and 10 is rapidly approaching EoL.
Agree.

I mean - from my point of view there are two glaring issues in this election that are just being coughed aside in a deeply disingenuous way, by all parties (with maybe the exception of the LibDems, a bit):

1) Brexit. For this not to be on the agenda when it has been the most ruinous decision made in the last 10 years of our political history is just ...well, weird at best, totally surreal at worst. Widely recognised [even by many? most?] of those who voted for it as now being a mistake, it just seems insane to leave any discussion off the table.

2) Tax rises. Everyone knows that for our UK standard of living to continue (or even - lol - rise), the money has got to come from somewhere. And that place can only really be taxes. All of the parties seem to be pulling out a magic hat full of magic money - an honest conversation would have all the parties in a room agreeing that someone, somewhere has got to pay for all this stuff.

Anyway, wow, gone well off topic. Sorry Dang!

What? Wikileaks had a huge drop of shit about Russia they were going to publish.

Assange was told he would be falling out a window if he published it. Then he buried it.

He is only about publishing leaks about western countries that don’t directly tell him they will murder him.

That isn’t a free society.
What I find much worse is the kind of narcissism/outrage/drama porn that most “for kids” stories and franchises are.

If my seven year old reads about some horrible things that happened in World War II, that usually leads to some of our best conversations. If she reads some something written for kids about girls and ponies, she just doesn’t want to stop consuming it, drifts off into some fantasy world, and you can’t have a conversation with her at all.
Lets not forget this dude colluded with Russian intelligence to interfere with 2016 US elections. He's not freedom fighter he's an assets to some intelligence service.
This is one of the reasons why some people do not want to create an online account in the first place.

I find people care way too much about material consequences. People should just care about ideals, no matter the actual consequences.

This is morally right, it doesn't matter what will happen in the material world. We will always have God and spirituality to comfort us.
The authors did exactly that in the paper which the articles attempts to summarise:

The title assumes being a working musician is not a job? That's pretty insulting. While some seem to coast along, the bulk of them work pretty damn hard.
John McCain spent a little over 5 years being tortured in solitary confinement in a Vietnamese POW camp and later became Arizona senator. Exceptional people are capable of a lot, I'm sure Assange hasn't lost his spirit yet.
This is just another example of the massive loneliness epidemic in today's world.

If there is enough value in basic chat bots for the people using that site, this is a sad state of affairs (pun fully intended).
I would really love to hear your theory on how the Mongol conquests made Afghani culture bad.

I'm being sarcastic. It terrifies me, but now I need to hear it.

Though to be honest, I expect it will be run-of-the-mill cultural chauvinism and I'll be disappointed.
