The fact that it will be "freely available" doesn't mean you can distribute it legally.

I am already friendly. I am not convinced that merely being friendly will get you to your VPs 'inner circle'.
I think it’s simple: because they injected too much insuline at some point before the hypoglycemia;

Which obviously “never” happens to non-diabetics, because the pancreas regulates this automatically, adjusting to circumstances as required.
companies vary wildly in their honesty and cooperation with bug bounties and develop reputations as a result. if they have a shit reputation, people stop doing free work for them and instead focus on more honest companies
I made a comment elsewhere on this thread that explains that symbols themselves being compact isn't so important, but that the set of descriptions of the symbols must be compact. For example, if the description of the symbol is not the symbol itself as a set, but a map f:[0,1]^2 -> [0,1] that describes the "intensity" of ink at each point, then the natural conclusion is that the description of a symbol must be upper semicontinuous, which makes the set of descriptions compact.
The water pistol is an analog of a real gun no matter how silly they are shaped. Growing up most of the plastic guns were models of the Colt M1911 and other semi automatic pistols. As a kid you knew what you were emulating: shooting a real gun at someone. Hell, Cowboys and Indians is a fucked up game for kids used to play. Even the comical looking ray gun is a futuristic energy weapon that is usually depicted as being more devastating than a projectile weapon by burning or vaporizing flesh - totally harmless fun!

Guns are guns. Stop trying to pretend water pistols are somehow harmless images.
Dehumanization is the result of treating a human like they do not have equal rights and dignities.

If we decide that identity is a right within someone's control, that decision must be consistent.

If I call you "Steve," and you correct me and say, "no my name is Bob," you have exercised what I see as your right of domain over your own identity.

To preempt that right and respond with, "I prefer to call you Steve," would be absurd and rude. Also pointless. It would flout any right you have to decide who you are.

To do this in an argument or confrontation easily results in dehumanization, merely by suggesting that one person is allowed to determine their own identity while another is not.
>From my point of view, one of the greatest problem for them is that they bypassed customers deployment policies.

Do you really want to wait until for the weekly/monthly/quarterly deployment window to deploy a detection update for a 0day, or a new type of malware?
This is the inherent problem with Amazon's support of 3rd party vendors through their platform, and the general lack of quality controls.

I increasingly use specific companies for purchases, because I can't guarantee that what I order through Amazon will actually be the product I wanted, or be at the quality level I'd expect. It's getting to be absolutely awful.
Are you asking if early detection of cancer results in better outcomes? Yes, the data unequivocally supports that diagnosing cancer before it spreads leads to lower mortality.
I found it alarming that the meaning of previous texts between many people could be altered by simply changing the glyph of an emote.

And noone voted for it, all companies effectively in charge of these emojis (Google, Apple, etc.) decided for everyone that it was for the best.

What will they change next, who initiated and coordinated that effort, and why, are all important questions.

I'm very much against it. It's the same or worse than altering the text content of a message.

Once you put an emoji symbol out there for a character code and it's agreed upon, it should be immutable.
lol thanks, i know nothing about the hardware side of things for this stuff
At least wait until reviews after the August microcode patch. No telling if it actually fixes the problem, or what the performance impact is. On the other hand I know someone with a Ryzen Legion Pro laptop that seems pretty solid.
Lots of programming languages use this standard. It's helpful to know.

There is pressure to standardize the "feel" of an emoji because otherwise miscommunication can occur between users of different platforms/emoji fonts.
How shitty is Figma’s current “export as css/html/js” functionality? How many people do you think they have working on improving that? How many of the people Figma is paying to fool around with AI do you think are experimenting with building an AI stuffed full of css/html/js tokens, and other functionality for improving Figma’s ability to pick up working css/html/js, tweak it, and re-export it?
This was what I kept thinking about when it happened. Every job I've ever had has had days of some system or other being down for some amount of time. Hell, even WFH has put me offline when I've had extended power outage after a major storm. The only thing different about this was that it was all the companies at the same time because of one glitch. For all of the companies that did not use this system, it was just another day of the week.
Of the precious little Alexa can do reliably announcing that dinner is ready without having to yell is quite useful.
Sure. That's a major over-correction. But there are existing and known biases in data sources that need to be accounted for - you don't want to further perpetuate those.

I think it's obvious that Google went to a ridiculous extreme in the other direction, but there does need to be some amount of work done here. For example, we repeatedly have seen that just changing the name on a resume to something more European sounding can have significant impact on callback rates when applying to a job, and if you trained a model to screen resumes based on your own resume result data, this bias could be picked up by the model. That's the sort of situation these are meant to correct for.
Does anyone test their antivirus updates individually as a customer? I thought they happen multiple times a day, who has time for that?

> The only way to not have suffering is to not have life

Did you read my previous posts ? Vegans don’t try to remove all suffering but to avoid cruelty. Not having cows won’t make each cow less suffering. But don’t worry for them to go extinct, they represent 35% of the world mammal biomass https://ourworldindata.org/wild-mammals-birds-biomass
The system I outlined in my other post [0] has ten GPUs and does not require dual socket CPUs as far as I'm aware. It could likely scale easily to 14 GPUs as well (assuming you have sufficient power), with an x8/x8 bifurcation adapter installed in each PCIe slot. This is pushing the limits of the PCIe subsystem I'm sure, but you could also likely scale up to 28 GPUs, again assuming sufficient power, by simply bifurcating at x4/x4/x4/x4 vs x8/x8.

I think it should work as-is with the components listed, but if you disagree please let me know!

It was actually one of their employees reading a tweet about it and then just implementing it within an hour or two. The person was shocked at the autonomy X employees have.
Imagine Apple / Google pushing an update that bricked 2b+ mobile devices.
lmao you really think this took me more than 15 minutes to do?
No, that would be the "copy the repository" approach. Private fork is when you do it through their UI.

As far as I know, it is not accessible.
And the fractured developer ecosystem with multiple UI frameworks (WPF, WinUI, MAUI, Blazor) all being understaffed, while actual Microsoft products are being developed in React Native.
Mojo claims to be interoptable with python, but it seems only one way. There's no built in way to use the binaries and use them with a regular python environment. It would be hard to incrementally migrate from an existing project. Something like Cython would allow this. Couldn't the GPU features be accessed from C/Cython instead? Migrating a whole project to Mojo would require more time investment and I am not even sure if all the dependencies would be compatible.
What makes you think their “focus” is on emojis? This is probably just one among many things they’re doing. And it’s the right thing to do, because the political censorship of the pistol emoji is yet another example of how deeply biased tech companies have been in pushing their politics onto customers.
3 models and a bunch of sizes as well. The Giant Propel Advanced SL 0 has 6 different size options. Even for cheap bikes, it’s common to have a small, medium, and large frame size.

As far as restricting technology, stopping at 70s tech seems really arbitrary. There are already rules and regulations for what you can use.

One final note: I’m pretty sure UCI would get a big lawsuit if they mandated one bike from a particular manufacturer due to antitrust concerns.
Note: even though the article is from an .co.uk and talks about the UK government, when English people talk about the “north” they implicitly mean “north of England”, not the north of the UK, even when talking in the context of the UK.

This comment even talks about the “island”, but is implicitly talking about the centre of the island when referring to the “north”.
Does this retroactively change the meaning of the emoji people used, or is it only applying to future use of the emoji?

(That would be a fun legal hypothetical.)
> We think MAIA augments, but does not replace, human over- sight of AI systems. MAIA still requires human supervision to catch mistakes such as confirmation bias and image generation/editing failures. Absence of evidence (from MAIA) is not evidence of absence: though MAIA’s toolkit enables causal interventions on inputs in order to evaluate system behavior, MAIA’s explanations do not provide formal verification of system performance.

For folks who are more familiar with this branch of literature, given the above, why is this a fruitful line of inquiry? Isn't this akin to stacking turtles on top of each other?
>not because it provides any other benefit.

It probably does provide benefits against some clueless intern in accounting downloading a macro-enabled excel file that has a malware enabled.

Jetbrains Gateway and VSCode remote render glyphs locally and I doubt you would be able to notice the latency on execution (ie: running your program and compiling it).

For ssh there’s mosh.

I’d buy “having to transfer files” more than latency, realistically.

Thanks for commenting though.
Yeah, stuff like this just should not ever be changed in this way, IMO. It shouldn't have been changed in the first place, but two wrongs don't make a right either, it just makes the problem even worse.

If we have older communications that use an emoji, it can retroactively edit the meaning if that emoji renders to a fundamentally different object than it used to, so this kind of change has the side effect of rewriting history unless people take extra care to only use fonts that match the age of the document.

It's already hard enough to communicate clearly and effectively in the modern world without having the rug pulled out from under us with stuff like this.
I agree the 3rd is by far the worst of the offenders. But even the first two should have more visibility. For example, by notifying users during deletion of forked repos that data will still be available.

The exact UX here is debatable, but I don't think security warnings buried in the docs is enough. They should be accounting for likely misunderstandings of the model.
You're using a lot of hyperbole. Nobody said anything about building societies on drug addicts. Overdoses primarily happen due to users not knowing how strong their mixture is, they also happen frequently in new settings and after a period of abstinence. These are all things that have been shown in the literature.

I love how you also ignored the rest of my points about whose society you're referencing.

Do you work in the drug or addiction field?
The big problem with modern tech is the increasing separation between energy use and its results. In the past, one would buy several gallons of gasoline to burn in a car. Nowadays a similar amount of the energy is spent far away and only the results (Google search of ChatGPT results) are seen.
In general I would agree, but the platforms have also censored the gun emoji with the water gun .
I grew up with the argument that video game violence causes real violence. At the time, conservatives were keen on censoring violence, blood and gore in movies, video games and TV shows. It was the liberal establishment that defended artistic violence and sexuality. Now it seems like the pendulum swung and liberals seem keen on promoting squirt gun emojis, meanwhile some of the most popular video games on the market are things like Call of Duty where you blast people away with automatic machine guns and sniper rifle head shots.

It's very strange keeping up with the shifting tides of opinions about these sorts of things.
It really is weird. And if someone supported the change, why exactly stop there? We can make fonts have custom ligatures where the letters `gun` together could have a completely different rendering, so we could replace it with a single glyph that looks like "water gun" -- I can't see how that's more absurd than censoring the gun. It's not as though it's more difficult to threaten violence with text than with an emoji.
I wonder if the AMEX cards historically being "charge cards", which have to be paid in-full at the end of the month, encouraged healthy habits and better credit scores.

I credit my first AMEX with helping to keep my spending in-check when I started high-paying jobs because I always had in the back of my mind that the balance had to be paid-in-full. Take a lavish vacation? Make sure you have the savings to pay it off. In the end it was always paid off monthly.

Yes, but you don’t read much about AMD, Apple, Samsung, Qualcomm. Intel has been shooting themselves in the foot consistently.

So odd, it must cost them approximately nothing to serve redirects for the static set of links they still had. Now they'll break links all over the web again.
If the AI generated content is filtered for quality or is corrected then it will still be good data. The phenomenon of model degradation is only in the case where there is no outside influence in the generated data.
The Discover cash back perks went down quite a bit, at least from my perspective. The categories I used to use come on way less frequently now.
Ask HN: Discovering that I am mediocre
I'm 35 years old and tired of feeling like I'm "white knuckling" my way through life. Math, programming, engineering, etc... has never been easy for me and I've always had to work exceptionally hard to even be on par with others, it's only my innate interest in these subjects and refusal to give up as to why I'm working as a software engineer now.

Despite all this work I still am just very mediocre, and I've reached the point where I'm so exhausted from trying so hard for so long that I'm ready to accept that.

I've always had a really hard time with equating my value in life directly to whatever it is that I "do", so essentially ever since I was 12 this has been tied to school performance and then work. I don't want to continue down this path of working so hard just to be ok at whatever it is I do at the expense of personal relationships, enjoying the moment, etc...

I'm so brainwashed from living my life like this for so long that I don't know what else there is though. What else am I supposed to do? How can I derive value from just normal things in life again? The thought of not striving to be exceptional at everything I do leaves me with such a feeling of emptiness that I'm not sure how to fill. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
This is interesting because you often hear Amazon treats its 3rd party sellers poorly - perhaps they are driving away the quality sellers?

Move Windows Defender into user space and enforcing the same for all security software.
That's the idea!

As you point out, it moves the trust from the binary to the shell executable, but the shell is already a key piece of any build process and requires a minimum level of trust. The technique of bootstrapping on multiple shells and comparing the outputs is known as Double Diverse Compiling[0] and we think POSIX shell is particularly suited for this use case since it has so many implementations from different and likely independent sources.

The age and stability of the POSIX shell standard also play in our favor. Old shell binaries should be able bootstrap Pnut, and those binaries may be less likely to be compromised as the trusting trust attack was less known at that time, akin to low-background steel[1] that was made before nuclear bombs contaminated the atmosphere and steel produced after that time.

Is that a best practice in hindsight, or because it was known to some, that this issue exists, or for what other reason do you consider it a best practice? Git history?
It's kind of funny that Microsoft was ahead of the time, changed it back to match other libraries, and then changed it again to keep up.

I mean something like the pass-through feature in the Apple Vision Pro but designed for people who need progressive or bifocal lenses.

The device would be compact and intended primarily as a replacement for glasses with progressive or bifocal lenses.
Open source alternatives means that it will become difficult or close to impossible to monetize llms. It also means that no clear hegemony will occur. Fragmentation might be very beneficial for the status quo.
They've got .gle and .goog too. .gle for goo.gle
Been a while since I was in this area, so I may be off base. But my knee jerk thought on Ubn is getting another valuable data point on nuclear structure. We’ve got a magic number at Z=82 and one at N=126. Do we get it one at higher Z? This doesn’t answer it directly, but it’s a step along the path. And at the very least is a great data point for confirming/constraining various structure models.
Does anyone else feel a little sympathy for CrowdStrike? They pushed out something they should not have. OK. That is bad. But a couple days on and the bulk of the difficulties seem to be from how windows handled the situation: The BSODs, the boot loops, the inability to recover from a basic fault. I feel that if this did happen in a linux environment (it could) that it would be easier to isolate and boot systems into some sort of temporary mode. Linux would communicate and offer options. The windows-specific trend of just abandoning all hope, giving up and throwing the BSOD at the user ... CrowdStrike didn't create that.
This isn't your personal computer/homelab where you can get away with using common sense antivirus or even windows defender. Software like crowdstrike are often used in industries where they're mandated to install such software for compliance reasons (eg. PCI-DSS). Even if you were using linux you'd still need to install it, and crowdstrike previously had issues with their linux agent. It was just uncommon enough that it didn't hit the news.
Even if we relax this discussion to non-terminal impacts, it is quite literally optimal to just allow people this dignity.

The energy it takes to enforce every definition as your own is unsustainable. If two people cannot agree on basic definitions, there is no chance for valuable discussion anyway.

The most basic definition that exists in an argument is the parties involved. Disagreeing on that basis invalidates everything downstream.

So--if one is arguing in good faith, it costs almost nothing, and you gain a lot, to simply allow the other party to define themselves.
A downstream dmca suspends the upstream? That astonishes me. Anyone down to shut down react?

Delta only started to recover today, so it’s more like 4-5 days of canceled flights. Not saying it’s a huge difference but 1-2 greatly underplays how bad it was for people flying Delta vs any other airline.

Show HN: OCaml-like pattern-matching with vanilla JavaScript (no transpiler)
A few years back I wrote a little library that implements OCaml-inspired pattern matching using just plan JavaScript destructuring syntax. I don't think I ever shared it here. Thought you might find it interesting.
