No they don't have a point.
They:

- could have kicked AV vendors out of kernel space, including themselves, ensuring level playing field (which is the point of EU regulations). But then they couldn't sell their product that's "isn't necessary".

- could have created other, less critical APIs to use for everyone

- could have enabled anything mandated by the EU only for the EU market
RyanAir used to fly to Morocco, and it was often cheaper to go Dublin -> Marrakesh than it was to get a plane or train from London to Manchester.

Lot of it comes down to individual airports and fees. Part of the reason that RyanAir flies into Buvais rather than CDG or Orly when you fly with them to 'Paris', or that other joke airport they use instead of Berlin.

Update: Things turned out pretty well at the end. Apple Support accepted the display replacement under AppleCare+ so the machine was repaired without any cost. I did have to explain a bit about the usage pattern and why this was not supposed to be an accidental damage.
This looks really promising and thanks for sharing! I've actually been looking into this exact type of functionality lately, for anyone else I'm just going to drop some other projects in this area (also if anyone, including OP, want's to chime in on how they compare- i know there's all sorts of trade-offs ie. the similarity algo chosen, one of these relies on wasm, etc):

https://github.com/tantaraio/voy

https://github.com/nitaiaharoni1/vector-storage

https://github.com/danielivanovz/indexed-vector-store

https://github.com/yusufhilmi/client-vector-search

Another area I've looked into briefly is also trying to generate vector embeddings fully in-browser. I know there will likely be tradeoffs with dimensionality / overall accuracy/performance but having a semi-decent way to do this in-browser would be awesome.

This project only runs in node (but there's an issue that talks about how it might be modified to run in-browser):

https://github.com/Anush008/fastembed-js

Looks like transformers.js supports embeddings in-browser:

https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js/releases/tag/2.1.0

https://github.com/pinecone-io/semantic-search-example/blob/...

Also it appears the client-vector-search supports both embeddings & vector indexing

Hope this helps others looking into this stuff!

With all due respect, I've heard the exact same thing from a number of folks taking Opioids after surgery. They were right, fortunately, and navigated their withdrawal symptoms without incident.

I'm sure you're right too, but it's not a particularly convincing argument. I've definitely seen behaviors that horrify me from some of the caffeine addicts in my life. I bet caffeine prohibition would lead to a rise in domestic disputes, for starters, followed by Starbucks speakeasys and coffee cartels.

I was a big Mermaid fan, but no longer.

It is very difficult to save the images as bitmap (.jpeg, .mpng) or vector (.svg).

You basically have to use a headless browser rendering toolkit, and guess what? The images aren't consistent (different rendering styles).

I'm switching to Graphviz (DOT-based) which can look just as nice and has tons of file save features.

Given the two possible outcomes:

1. Jury verdict is "NO" to CFAA violations.

2. Jury verdict is "YES" to CFAA violations and the jury award $0.

Is option (2) worse for Ryanair because it more negatively impacts any appeals process that they may have otherwise planned?

Does the award of $0 become a precedent which is stronger than option (1) in deterring would-be CFAA litigants of the future?
> Without more performance enhancing drugs and I’m assuming we don’t want that.

I mean, what are the arguments against PEDs? I guess that they carry risks for the athletes and unfair advantages. It's conceivable that future tech will enable us to legalise and regulate drugs in much the same way as we do equipment now. If that leads to records being smashed, I think the general public will probably come round to it.
There are ways to get in the door even if you don't have credentials. Who you are surrounded by and interact with day in day out, can drastically change whatever trajectory you are on. So if you spot interesting people. Reach out and find a way to work with them.
I got my first job in a research lab full of PhDs not because I had anywhere close to the credentials they had. But cause they needed someone to move equipment around campus. And the only reason they remembered me, was cuz I kept calling them asking for work and showing interest in what they were all individually up to. Ended up writing code for them and named in many of their published papers. Similarly I got a job at a startup, not through their regular interview process, but because I mailed the CEO telling him I had a few hours to spare every week, and whether they had any small tasks I could work on that no one has time for (startups always have a huge list of things to do that no one has time for). I did that for 2 weeks before they offered me a full time job. So get creative. Keep your eyes open for interesting environments. And make contact even if you don't have credentials show genuine interest in them and their work. Sooner or later someone will invite you in.
Thank God some superheros have finally come along to make sure code never crashes any computers ever again! /s

The sensible route to this today is to use a query client, IMO: tanstack, rtk query, apollo, etc.

It prevents the umpteenth reinvention of an incomplete fetch state machine, which is probably the number one most consistent frontend bug I encounter.
Nobody who lived during the Cold War would say that solo Olympic sports weren't part of a team sport, the team being your nation. A solo gold medal in one of the premier events (100m dash, gymnastics all-around, figure skating) was just as intense as any professional league championship ever was. It's not an exaggeration to say it was proxy warfare and possibly prevented actual global war. It was a way for those nations to express dominance off the field of battle.
DDR5 (and any other DRAM build on the latest fab processes for DRAM) has on-die ECC which provides some protection against corruption of data at rest. It's necessary because the density of the memory array is too high; there's not enough isolation between memory cells and not enough charge stored in each cell to ensure sufficiently low error rates without adding the on-die ECC. A typical DDR5 chip might be less susceptible to random bit-flips or rowhammer than a typical DDR4 chip, but the on-die ECC is really only intended to prevent a major regression in reliability.

What ordinary consumer DDR5 modules still lack is any form of ECC on the link between the DRAM and the CPU's memory controller. With the link running at about twice the speed used by DDR4, DDR5 is much more challenging for the memory controller/PHY to handle.
RTS games like StarCraft generally require intense focus, there's no room for a mind to wander.
It may be a bit different, but there's still plenty of potential for people to donate and not be happy that their donation is forwarded to a third party Jellyfin Android if they personally have no interest in the existence of Jellyfin Android.

(I also agree with various other reasons in other people's comments, most of all that this lets donors vote with their money on which third party projects that work on top of Jellyfin get the money, rather than Jellyfin having to decide which ones deserve what proportion of spare money.)
Isn't the issue that you can do that, but Company A can also add in a clause that you can only do business with us (or with this specific product/website/etc. we offer) if you agree to be buying the tickets for yourself and not for someone else. In which case, if Company B says they are, they are lying.

I think one interesting question from this is what happens when you put an AI in there instead. If Company B sells an AI that Person can use to interact with Company A, at what point does it count as Person's interaction and at what point does it count as Company A's interaction.

Obviously Person is allowed to use technology to interact on behalf of them. They are using Chrome, or IE, or Firefox, etc. This doesn't count as Google/Microsoft/Mozilla interacting with Company A. So on a continuum (likely multi dimensional) from internet browsers to what Booking.com did in this case, including AI somewhere in the continuum space, where is the legal limit?

For a while any Apple original we watched, was awful. Better than most Amazon Prime content, but a good chunk down below Netflix.

That has started to even out more now (Apple/Netflix) but Prime content barely gets watched in our house as it is (generally) so bad.

You didn't mention what machine this was on. Since you mention a breadboard, are you sure it wasn't an addon to an existing CPU card? Perhaps the X-Calibur, that plugged into the Commodore A3640? That's a bit later, though.
Just look at reflections and if they're making sense. Or, when it's a face, then look at the reflections in the eyes. Left/right eye should be consistent (reflection should look the same).

When there's nothing reflected, then inspect the shadows thrown by objects.

But, when there's a bad image quality or things like winter landscapes and people walking without exposing too much of details (ie picture from behind) - good luck.
You would be surprised by the amount of deep integrations/services AWS offers.
This doesn't match my observations. Both when I was in academia and now in industry, I see lots and lots of PhDs with kids (often dual-PhD families). It would have been a lot more challenging if I'd stayed in academia (I live in the pricey Bay Area).
It seems similar to the construction in the phrase, "When two people love each other, there can be no happy end to it." I'm also reminded of Jefferson's quote, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."

That's my point, they really don't.

Democrats hail from several religions (and a lot of atheists) and have a lot of independent thinkers. They are not mass-"programmable" like religious Christians and Republicans are. Republicans can be mass-software-updated by their leaders very quickly. Democrats' lack of programmability makes it harder for them to align and win.

Democrats tend to contain a lot of types of socially oppressed groups of people, each of which is fighting their own battle, but they cannot be bothered to fight another oppressed groups' battle.

Democrats hail from multiple social classes that each want the other taxed more out of spite, not understanding that higher taxes of anyone in the economic food chain is going to make it harder for everyone.
But a smooth object can't be velcroed, nor can wood hold up a magnet.

Isn't it that `Unpin` means the object is always ready to be pinned? (I read the article last night and already forgot whether pinning requires a fixup step)

So a `T: Pin + !Unpin` is like a sheet of paper that can only be fixed by stapling it, but a `T: Pin + Unpin` is like a painting with a hook which can be mounted on a nail and unmounted without damaging the hook

I don't think it's all that weird, it's one of the first things I'd do in any file manager and I make sure Windows Explorer shows me system files too. If never had to interact with the hidden config it would be one thing, but I very often do and I don't want extra friction in getting to them.
For me it's interesting -- I'm somebody who has in the past made the niceties when somebody reached about but ultimately not reciprocated much. And it wasn't because I didn't care, it was because never in my life had somebody reaching out from the past resulted in genuinely satisfying interactions. So in a certain fatalistic way, I had decided it wouldn't amount to anything which was then possibly self-fulfilling.

I used to believe that whenever coworkers ask how to stay in touch after I leave a job it was just a lie we all tell ourselves to make the transition easier. But I'm finding that many of my coworkers say they do stay in touch with old colleagues.

Perhaps part of the lesson is that some of us who don't reciprocate with you do care, but have no mental model (or lack the social grace) to navigate a more tricky relationship (e.g. what if work is now much better now that this person left, and what if the people and things you had in common no longer apply).

I was under the impression that compact 400 hp electric motors (Like in the Plaid Tesla) were available in large numbers. And hopefully, those would be higher reliably at much lower maintenance when compared to a turboprop or a turbojet.

yeah, I'm on the verge of finding out. Got an offer, but damn it's a big decision to make.

Having supporting parents around to help with childcare (no kids yet, but 4 years is a long time) and financials is a big plus. Also being in Europe where the job market looks dire and industry only pay like 20% more is a major draw towards the PhD.
Fortunately nothing of the sort has happened. Not sure what you’re referring to here.

Ask HN: Can you make virtual phone numbers at scale?
I'm looking for something like Privacy.com or Ramp but for phone numbers.

I'm tired of getting spam calls and texts. I want the ability to give each business or individual a unique number with unique rules for when and how that number can be contacted. If I never want to be contacted again, I just remove the virtual number.

I'm aware of services like Twilio or Google Voice that allow me to do number forwarding... but it's pretty cumbersome to set up at scale (and I believe Google Voice is limited to 1 number).

Beyond the general privacy focus and reducing spam, it seems like this could have good use cases for public figures, people with stalkers, dealing with your ex, etc.

Does a service like this exist? If not, what are the technological complications preventing this from existing?
I've used mermaid from within markdown before, but the whole premise still leaves me conflicted. The original selling point of markdown is that it wasn't a markup language; it was readable text that could optionally be rendered with some extra niceties if you were reading it in something more sophisticated than a simple text field. While mermaid is undoubtedly useful as a textual language for describing graphs, the spirit of markdown would favor something that actually looked like a graph without needing to run it through a renderer, something more akin to ascii art, but with well-defined semantics such that it would produce something reasonable if you did have a renderer at hand.
It's easy to dismiss ideas as worthless etc if you never have any good ones. Of course anything obvious like 'uber for X' is worthless.

And sure, success is 90% perspiration, but that's also wasted without the matching 10% inspiration.

As for the argument that people would resent 20% 'idea equity' - they already give up much more than that to 'founder equity'. Did Bezos build Amazon? Or Musk Space-X, Tesla etc? They own those companies, and orchestrate them to some extent, but the workers, hired managers, etc, actually built them. Yet the vast majority of the spoils still go to the owner/founder.

I may be in agreement, and I was an idiot to misunderstand your comment and reply based on it.

I especially agree with the last sentence that models largely learn features in the dataset, but I don't understand why you would describe it as

> There's nobody that's like "today we're working on fingernails" or "today we're making hair physics work better"

If there were a business case for that, I would characterize curating a dataset of fingernails and fine-tuning or augmentind a model based on that as "today we're working on fingernails".

And the same too with eye reflections. So with the right dataset you can get eye reflections right, albeit in a limited domain. (E.g. deepfakes in a similar setting as the training data). In fact you can look at the community that sprung up around SD 1.5 (?) that fine tunes SD with relevant datasets to improve its abilities in exactly a "today we're going to improve its ability to produce these faces" kind of fashion.

Where did I misunderstand your comment? I seem to arrive at the completely opposite response from the same fact.

I also noticed that you say

> the improvements are really just giving the models techniques for more accurately replicating features from reasoning data.

You seem to refer to aspects of a model unrelated to dataset quality. But fine-tuning on a curated dataset may be sufficient and necessary for improving eye reflections and fingernails.
Thinking lowly of a company's customer service based on how few person-to-person interactions one has had with them is just about the dumbest stance a person could take on the matter. It's on par with the attitude where workers are elevated for creating fires and then putting them out while those who make sure not to create them in the first place are overlooked (or worse).

I don't know if they kept the conscription all along though unlike Sweden.

There are many things to say with the Swedish restart. I would expect som improvements compared to last time.

1. Better salary.

2. Both men and women are expected to join.

3. There is a broader view of what conscription means. Defence is not only about military. It could be firefighting or nursing or taking care of elderly.
500 was released in February 99. 550 4 months later, 700 five more months later. $700 worth of CPU performance from February 1999 could be had in a low end March 2000 system with $130 CPU. In 2001 500MHz system was already obsolete.
They can't do it retroactively for already received donations (not ethically at least, I don't think it would be illegal in this situation), but it wouldn't at all be a problem for them to announce "donations from today on will be used in this new way" instead of making the announcement they just made.

(I personally think they made the right choice, am just responding to your comment disagreeing that it would be a transparency issue if they changed how things worked moving forwards.)
