Exactly. The privacy characteristics of government ID cards are worse than any other solution. When sharing such an ID, a person is providing several global, stable identifiers (e.g. ID number, full legal name). For adtech and data brokers, this is the ultimate fingerprint for tracking and matching.

In a perfect world, the digitization of these IDs would come with modern digital privacy and security. Scanning your ID number would only provide a recipient-specific ID that couldn't be matched with other vendors. Age eligibility and driver's licensing status would be presented as separate signed attestations that share no other data.

We aren't even heading in that direction yet.
> They are inadequate to absolve Boeing of wrongdoing.

How so? For example if staying competitive (and therefore surviving) forces you to squeeze through without recertification, isn’t that a sign that maybe there is a better version of the regulations that should be considered that doesn’t have bad incentives?

What about the well-documented reality that numerous pilots from airlines with higher requirements have had their planes experience MCAS trim but knew what was happening (since a wheel starts spinning in front of them) and were able to flip it off trivially? I’m not saying Boeing doesn’t share SOME of the blame, but it feels weird to me to ignore the fact that many pilots (literally hundreds) have had no serious issue with MCAS over hundreds of thousands of hours.

> The idea about unions sharing some blame is especially absurd and the suggestion of it makes your post very difficult to take seriously. Even if unions caused Boeing to become unprofitable, they are blameless in the decisions that led to the crashes.

Can you explain your view point more? To me it feels dismissive but I am trying to keep an open mind. In my view and the view of many Boeing friends, the unions have been abusive and created a big amount of avoidable expense and inefficiency to protect their own interests. I’m not making a claim as to whether that self-interest is ethical or not. But I’ve heard many stories of people not being allowed to do some trivial task because they have to wait until the person in a specific job shows up to do that task because of union rules that artificially protect unnecessary jobs. Those situations are difficult for management to overcome, since they have other things to spend time on, but they are real and do add to costs and time delays. That has to come from somewhere else in the company. I agree with you that the unions are not directly responsible for any decisions, but their effect is still real and can push the company into a corner.

These situations tend to be complex - it’s not as simple as pointing at someone who is evil and does bad things - which is why I think we cannot ignore these potential causes that are many degrees away or shared blame between multiple groups (including Boeing executives).
I'm just guessing, but I imagine the scenario goes like this:

1. Work at a company that runs some ancient version of CentOS or something.

2. The system package manager doesn't have anything newer than Python 3.6.

3. Official binaries from python.org print an inscrutable error about the glibc version when you try to run them.

4. Building Python from source requires some new system dependencies, takes forever, and then produces an even less scrutable error about a missing header file.

5. Googling that error leads to a ./configure flag that works around the issue, which upstream GCC fixed in 2017.

6. Success?

If you haven't seen that error #3 before, or dealt with "manylinux" build environments, you've dodged an entire world of pain. The same goes for scripting installs on Windows, and for the part of that page that's talking about "limiting the CPU instructions that can be used" :')

OpenAI farmed pretty much all the quality text out there for GPT-4. They did GPT-4o built natively for multimodal, likely because they ran out of text and need to farm videos & audio. Captcha data is pretty valuable too if only to beat captchas.

My experience has been that it's rather heuristic based. It's a clear win when you can immediately see far enough in advance to know that it'll also decrease the amount of generated code. You can spot trivial cases where this is true at the point of inlining. However, if you stopped there, you'd leave a ton of optimizations on the table. Further optimization (e.g. DCE) will often drastically reduce code size from the inlining, but it's hard to predict in relationship to a specific inlining decision.

So, statistics and heuristics.

Show HN: Chillin – Next-Gen AI Video and Animation Editor
Hi Hacker News, we are launching a web-based video animation editor Chillin. Chillin is a professional video editing tool that combines non-linear video editing and vector animation editing seamlessly. Our goal is to create a video creation tool that combines professional video creation, AE-level animation, and AI together.

Features:

- All non-AI editing features are free
- No watermark
- Support Lottie, SVG
- Full video editing features: transition, filter, subtitle, multiple video tracks, Lut
- AI editing features: AI cutout, subtitle generation, image generation, text-to-speech (not yet open), one-click video with voiceover (not yet open)
- Smooth and fast editing experience, export speed is also faster than similar online editors

After a long time of optimization, we are confident that Chillin is the best online video editor at the moment, and the experience can be comparable to native App. Hope you can try it out and welcome to give us suggestions and feedback.

While I can understand why you may think the license is doomed in the face of any litigation, why would that prevent you from recommending it? How would that license being found illegal would affect any regular end user?

Surely any legal challenge would just allow a corporate entity to use the software as they see fit, unfortunate but ultimately not mattering to the original software.
Nice; Thank You.

This looks quite good and a better investment of time before diving into the book itself.

I agree about Linux + KDE being more polished.

For my main point, I suppose I should have specified GNU/Systemd/Linux as needing a CLI, not everything with a Linux kernel. POSIX-style kernel + libc is a very good basis for an OS, and such an OS doesn't need a CLI exposed to the user. It's all the Udev/Systemd/SysVInit & similar stuff that's CLI-only, and desktop Linux tends to require interacting with one or more of those on at least an occasional basis.

> it uses pyproject.toml which is what Poetry uses and seems to be the standard people are moving to

Yes, PEP 517 is standard now. But, that's not actually a build system and depending on how you configure it, the actual contents can differ wildly. While build-system.build-backend is standard, how one actually configures that backend in tools.<your-build-tool> are not standard at all.

It's more proper to think of it as a standard meta-format for build system configuration.

There is effectively no real portability between build/project tools except in the most absolutely trivial cases.
[context: honest question from occasional Python user] What's wrong with poetry?
You need to show one to get a drinking wristband anyways (and avoid the hand Xs), or into any 16+, 18+, or 21+ show.
also i'm wrong; it doesn't have an option to compile with readline, just libedit (which indeed is not included in the debian package configuration). the incantation was as follows:

: Downloads; apt-get source dash
: Downloads; cd dash-0.5.12/
: dash-0.5.12; sudo apt install libedit-dev
: dash-0.5.12; ./configure --with-libedit
: dash-0.5.12; make
: dash-0.5.12; src/dash -E

libedit supports ^r but not ^o

on the other hand my dash process with libedit is 1.3 megs rss while my bash process is 7 megs rss. and the dash executable is only 130k. still, bash is only about 20% slower to start up

I know I'm going to lose points for pushing back on the pervasive HN RH-bashing, but this doesn't hold up. Wayland is being pushed by Redhat to make GNOME the only stable option? Except that Wayland is perfectly fine (many would argue better than it is under GNOME!) on Sway, KDE, etc. KDE has more bugs than GNOME, but that's independent of Wayland, it's just because KDE's design philosophy is "hardcode every feature and option imaginable" and that leads to it being impossible to QA. Anyway, this is just conspiracy theory bullshit. I swear to god Red Hat is the Soros of Linux for a certain type of guy

No.

When your passive index fund manager rebalances every month because “NVDA is now overweighted in VTI, QQQ” the manager does not care about the bid/ask spread.

When VTI is $1.6 trillion, even a $0.01 difference in price translates to a loss $60 million for the passive 401k, IRA, investors.

HFT reduces the bid/ask spread, and “gives this $60 million back” to the passive investors for every $0.01 price difference, every month. Note that VTI mid price at time of writing is $272.49.

The first launch I attended was the first flight test of Starship (in Boca Chica, TX, viewed from South Padre Island), which was tremendous fun.

I like the idea. It sounds similar to these charge-and-refund systems:

* Canada's carbon tax. This adds a fee to fuels per ton (so the more you purchase, the more tax you pay). Every resident gets the same monetary amount of refund per year.

* Quadratic voting. You pay n^2 dollars to have n votes. All the collected money is divided equally and refunded to every citizen at the end.
I understand well where this woman is coming from. Most people who succeed in school succeed because they can memorize. This means most of you on this comment board likely are in the roles you are because you can memorize. Success in school is like that. It rewards memorization more than understanding (yes, it really does...)
For me, I often struggled in school because try as I might I can't remember facts unconnected to other facts (I'm thinking of you particularly 6th grade Latin) but excelled in certain subjects where understanding (making connections between ideas) means more than memorization (FWIW I have a PhD in Physics.) I build up a web of understanding where I know fact A because it is supported by facts B, C & D that surround it. If I distrust my memory of A, I reconstruct that it has to be true because without it B, C and D would fall.
Early in life (45 yrs ago), I gravitated towards computers where the software I wrote became my long term memory. How do I understand XYZ? It's there in the code. What is the value of ABC? It's there in the code. Code is still my crutch.

As someone who does quant trading professionally and game development as a hobby, they both are performance sensitive, but they emphasize different kinds of performance. Trading is about minimizing latency while video games are about maximizing bandwidth.

Video games try to cram as much work as possible within about 16 milliseconds whereas for most trading algorithms 16 milliseconds is too slow to do anything, you want to process and produce a response to input within the span of microseconds, which is 3 orders of magnitude faster than a single frame in a video game.

The problem spaces really are quite distinct in this respect and a lot of techniques from one space don't really carry over to the other.

My impression has been that it's "a rising tide buoys all ships" sort of perspective: having more people creating drives more Black Magic hardware purchases and the upgraded software (which is quite reasonably priced).

A better way is to get a book about linux administration (if you want an in-depth manual) or "How Linux Works" by Brian Ward. Then learn bash.

Windows is pretty much all GUI (I've left before getting used to Powershell) and that works great until you want to do rules-based changes or do profiles (without using MDM) with changes snapshot.

Most software have good manuals so once you've got a bit used to the linux's way, it's quite easy to adjust anything you need. And after a while, you find you're mostly using a few handful packages and you'd have their configuration saved in your dotfiles. As for packages suggestions, that's what distros are there for.

Linux is all about reading.

I agree with this entirely.

And rounding does not change the answer in most situations.
