coincidentally, while searching for "proton vpn stealth" i came across this exact article 2 days ago and was surprised seeing it here with latest publish date. But, in previous article "windows" was not included in the list of platforms stealth was available on. I guess with today's proton VPN update, it became available on windows too and so they updated the article.
Remember the quote from Steve Ballmer? "Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!"

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback on content control for different age groups. Muky is designed for younger children (4-10), focusing on their specific needs and parental concerns.

Muky has two main components:

Admin Area: Parents create custom playlists with personalized titles, colors, and emojis.

Kid-Friendly Player: A simplified, password-protected interface where kids easily select and play tracks.

The app balances engagement for children with parental control. It uses both an in-app password and iOS Guided Access for security, preventing unauthorized exit from the player mode.

I've focused on creating a fun, easy-to-use interface for kids rather than emphasizing restrictions.
what i'm saying is the safety risks of AI are over exaggerated to the point of comedy. it is no more dangerous than any other kind of software.

there is an effort by AI-doomer groups to try and regulate/monopolize the technology, but fortunately it looks like open source has put a wrench in this.
> Flying is a tiny environmental factor compared to driving.

That's a common fallacy.

For example, i could say that the environmental impact of driving in my city is insignificant compared to the total. And that if you reduce emissions in others cities by just 1% in the rest of the world, but my citys emissions increase x5, the environment still come out ahead.
Given that the OP was from the UK, a "city" is a town with a cathedral. Nothing more, nothing less.
This is a distinction that mattered quite a bit more in the 80s, and still matters today in limited application. While the comment in that is correct (return for multiline, and enter for selecting default option) a key feature for the macintosh, and any computer of the era, would have been being used as a terminal emulator (console for a mainframe or server of some sort).

On line based serial consoles, like interacting with a PDP or VAX (common in the era), you would be emulating a teletype. Return is short for "carriage return", physically moving the cursor to the head of the next line. In use cases such as that, enter doesn't matter as much.

However, on many IBM computers, where the UI is form based (not line by line serial as many expect): return is for new lines only or moving to the next form field, and enter is for submitting the whole form as is.

You still see return vs enter on modern keyboards, usually in the numpad area.

TLDR: it was probably considered a necessary function key for interacting with non-macintosh computers, a substantial use-case in the 80s
If you're planning to do a business for the first time that will raise money, it's probably a no-brainer.
It's a bit too bleak for me, but it's certainly beautifully written.
On Windows, you do share the screen. I haven't seen any VNC servers that give you a new session like Terminal Services would.

On Linux, I've used both kinds of VNC server. One does start a new X instance, while the other one shares your main X instance. At the time I tried it, it was "TightVNCServer" to get a new X instance, and "X11vnc" to share the existing session.
And you aren't mouthy with other workers, managers or the customers.
A few questions, intended constructively:

> I didn’t even want to hear back - I just like to fill out the application as a writing exercise, to help me get a snapshot of my own thinking around what I’m building.

When someone submits an application to YC, asking to be considered, do you think it's reasonable for YC to expect that submission to be in good faith -- that the person would like to pursue next steps if YC is interested?

Do you think they sensed that your application wasn't a genuine application, and that affected their response?

> got a less-than-thoughtful response bordering on personally insulting (“TL;DR - why don’t you go back to your day job?”)

Is that a literal quote of something someone responded to you, or is it an interpretation of the gist of the response?
I believe I can revolutionise multiple fields. I cannot cut it working at a fast food restaurant. Ability is not one-dimensional.
Yeah, it was kind of weird - pretty sure the positive comments about it weren't organic, but there are some other anti comments that didn't feel quite right either. I'm not even sure if the comment section works any more!

It's an election year, so this is expected. Half the country is actively rooting for the USA to fail so their candidate of choice has more talking points.
This is not the sort of thing you should measure on an individual user experience basis. Try running the numbers for the system, it would essentially get beaten by a medium-sized bus in capacity and times, at a fraction of the cost.

Not to mention the large delta between what was promised versus what was delivered. There's probably a good case for fraud, if it were not for the fact that the purchasers want to save face they could probably sue.
Yeah, I see someone else on the thread has evidence of the same. If they're just tunneling WireGuard over something, I don't care, knock yourself out, it's fine.

They all worked here in America. However we had an entire team that worked in tandem with us based out of India and the internal push within LinkedIn was to move more of the workforce to India.

Show HN: Use Cypher to Work with the Kubernetes API
I created this tool around six months ago and it's been a daily driver for me since.

I lets you use a syntax similar to Cypher(Neo4j's query language which I very much adore) to perform CRUD operations on K8s.

This is an alpha release and while Cyphernetes has been in real-world use by me and a handful of other folk, I'd suggest extreme care when performing create/update/delete operations.
Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges probably tops the list for me.

Too obvious a list, perhaps, but some gems for all that! Happy reading.
You could work the night shift, though that of course has a huge trade-off.
Maybe but probably not since they likely have jobs lined up for the next few months and aren’t about to work for less than they know they can get. It’s not like these guys are taking a horse and carriage 50 miles to a town to setup camp and try and sell out of whatever they’re peddling. They drive like 15 minutes. And they aren’t desperate for work.
I'm not keen on the network config being scattered across a dozen tiny files. It makes it hard to see what's going on, or to spot a configuration error.
> Housing is expensive because the city is great and people want to live here,

If by "great" you mean "where the jobs are" then I agree.

That has been the primary driving force behind urbanization since at least the industrial era.
What's interesting is "Enter", at the time, wasn't really a standard key at all. The key was called "return" on most keyboards, including seminal ones like the Apple II and VT-100. The IBM Model F that shipped with the original PC just had a "down and right" L-shaped arrow[1] on the key. A quick search pulled up the later F that shipped with the PC/AT, which had both the arrow and "Enter" printed on it. I think this is the first point where the industry shifted.

Now everyone but Apple uses "Enter".

[1] Chromebooks today have revived this tradition and have arrow-only enter keys.
I went through YC in S20. The number one question I get from those who apply is, "Is it worth it?". For me personally, 100 percent worth it. The application process alone makes you think through questions you probably haven't thought of before. It's worth it if you are building a venture scalable business. It's also worth it for the people that you get to meet. As someone who lives outside of SV, it opened a new door for me that was previously unavailable.
I wonder if the autograph in this copy of a T.D.'s book is real.

The list of eligible voters might be not published to protect personal identifiable information and to prevent misuse of such information (in my country it is not published). Therefore you cannot sample anything.

And even if you could, you see a name you never heard of, so how do you check whether it is a real person or not? Without having access to government databases.
”The Count of Monte Cristo”, one of my favorites. It’s a classic the general story being jailbreak/revenge. A little slow paced at times but the writing is fantastic.

If you enjoy fantasy novels I would recommend ”The Wee Free Men” by Terry Pratchett, it’s outstanding.
In my case I think the Mint installer did something stupid to the Secureboot keys on my computer, and even with secure boot disabled, it's somehow still trying to read those keys ?

I don't particularly like Manjaro, but I do find it's the most up to date distro for the most part.

Dualboot continues to be a struggle( I would LOVE for more OEMs to start supporting dual SSDs on laptops), but it's worth it when I don't care to engage in the world of targeted advertising via Windows.
The whole thread is about Google discontinuing a physical product, not a feature baked into TV's. I've never seen the product they're discontinuing IRL.
You can ask which hand is being used. It doesn't have to span the whole screen either. It's used in games and works just fine in practice.
What good is being able to install sysvinit if it doesn't run your services? Debian killed first-class sysvinit, the downgrading of Debian/kFreeBSD is proof enough.

(And more importantly it killed all other well-behaved cooperative init options - this isn't about systemd vs sysvinit, it's about systemd vs standards-based init systems that play nice)
What about offline access to documents, bookmarks, summaries and other data you already downloaded? How would accessing this through a browser provide this reliably? Honest question.

Yes, it always depends on application and purpose.

But once you will have to deal with a real FTS load, as you say, you have to use separate instances and replication, use materialized views etc.. and you find your self almost halfway to implementing ETL pipeline and because of replicas, with more complicated setup than having a FTS tool. And than somebody finds out what vector search is, and ask you if there is an PG extension for it (yes it is).

So IMHO with FTS in database, you'll probably have to deal with the almost same problems as with external FTS (materialized views, triggers, reindexing, replication, migrations) but without all its features, and with constrains of ACID database (locks, transactions, writes)...

Btw. I've SOLR right behind the OpenResty, so no hops. With database there would be one more hop and bunch of SQL queries, because it doesn't speaks HTTP (although I'm sure there is an PG extension for that ;-)
It's still one call they just use a different llm now.
Dude just use AI.
It’s all relative, of course. I live in Dublin, a city not exactly known for its amazing public transport (we are currently on attempt number three to build a proper metro - we’re currently at the planning approval stage, so it’s probably doomed). At some point a colleague from San Francisco who’d been living here a while mentioned how good the public transport was (and this was a few years back; it was worse back then than now). I was quite confused, until I visited San Francisco.

And then on the other hand, every time I’m in Germany I’m amazed at how good the public transport is. But I’m fully aware that complaining about the trains is basically a national sport in Germany.

Like, you’re complaining about the trains being full, but at least the trains _exist_.
Very interesting. Did you build magicloops using this tech?
I'd love to chat sometime (or at least read your thoughts) about why you're anti-DOSP.

I think folks should follow the law. I'll let you extrapolate WRT "protected classes"[0] and the like, although (since IANAL) I'm not sure how such would apply in the case of placing ads. Especially since one can place ads to be shown only to 18-34 year-old [men|women|non-binary] with a specified educational attainment, a specified floor for income, specified marital status, parentage status in a specific zip code.

All that said, we're talking about a specific platform here (X) and you're moving the goal posts, which just smacks of bad faith. This is your last feeding from me. Now get back under your bridge!

In the first link:

In a now-deleted post, one X user shared a screenshot of a LinkedIn post from a man who claimed to be the parent of two children present at the attack. . . . Meanwhile on TikTok, search results for “Southport” recommended “Ali al-Shakati arrested in Southport” as a suggested query that “Others searched for”.

TFA is about "bot-like accounts" but the UK issue seems to be with authentic users. Given evidence of a problem broader than just X, what makes X more of a natsec issue than externally engineered social network applications in general?
Is the constant stream of flamebait (this action and other recent changes) helpful for twitter, or part of some larger strategy?

To me the service seems increasingly unreliable and unprofessional. Then again, I no longer feel like I'm the target audience. The numbers seem bad too; revenue was 22% down in 2023[1]. Also, "global active daily users of X via mobile apps had steadily declined during the year after Musk acquired the company, down 16% by September 2023"[2].

I'm puzzled.

At least in the professional world, I believe the key is knowing that "work" is an artificial construct designed to make owners and shareholders richer at the expense of you, the working drone. So "making progress" becomes a lot more palatable than quickly delivering what the capitalists want.
I don't know why Redhat would do that, but I've never used RHEL - I quit the redhat and derivatives in the 90's due to rpm hell, and never looked back.
And that’s why Canonical came up with Netplan because otherwise things would get boring.
Its applicable if the services have different teams and different infra requirements. Its hard to create a ton of sphaghetti when integration is atleast a network hop away. There's some friction to being dependent on too much stuff.

> Alpine, Devuan, Gentoo and other devs have kept init choice available.

Nothing stopped anyone, including yourself, from modifying or forking a distro like Fedora to make it support non-systemd, it's just you can't expect others to do it for you.
Currently, Muky uses only Apple Music's API, but I'm working on Spotify integration. Users will choose their preferred service during setup, with playlists tied to that service. Switching services will require new playlists. This approach, similar to Sonos, ensures API compliance and user consistency. I'm hopeful it will pass Spotify's app review when ready.
I think that is stateing it too far in the other direction. If you have a killer app, you can definitely dethrone the current king. I think it just has to be something much more significant than just marginal improvements.
Can second this! Read Monte Cristo last year and still think about it.

I’m also working my way through discworld chronologically, just read “Eric”. Highly recommend this series :)

It's not unreasonable. Biking in SF is a death wish.

If you take bart to Montgomery, it's an 0.8 mile walk to South Park. Calling that a bit under 20 minutes seems fair.

So a 10 minute walk to bart, a 5 minute wait, 7 minutes on bart, 3 minutes to exit the station, and 20 minutes to South Park is your 45-ish minutes.

Source: I used to do this commute. Getting around internally in sf is absolutely terrible the second you're not super close to the transit line.
Isn't your example showing an issue w/ the opposite approach, where someone is getting bad output w/ an earlier openAI json mode that worked via training rather than mechanical output restriction to conform to a schema?

FWIW (not too much!) I have used llama.cpp grammars to restrict to specific formats (not particular json, but an expected format), fine-tuned phi2 models, and I didn't hit any issues like this.

I am not intuitively seeing why restricting sampling to tokens matching a schema would cause the LLM to converge on valid tokens that make no sense...

Are there examples of this happening w/ people using e.g. jsonformer?
First, great book recommendation: _Never Split the Difference_ is packed with insights about negotiating, bargaining, and generally cooperation and decision-making. Reader: if you haven't, read it.

On starting with incentive before qualification: this is actually quite common. See: Cutco knives, CDs by mail, most current online courses/programs. Heck even startups doing lead gen offering analyses.

This is both what gets people invested (I jump at the free thing, so I'll jump through the rest of hoops now) AND what the seller uses to establish credibility (if they're giving way something this valuable, imagine what else they have!). A gift to someone implies you see them as important/valuable, and people eat that shit up.

There's a lot of ego/insecurity at play in sales. The person being marketed to wanting to feel seen/discovered/worthwhile, and the seller playing into it.

Reminds me of the Tony Robbins recording that made the rounds again recently [1]. Shocking that this stuff works … but it does.

Because it completely violates the UNIX philosophy and mission creeps into taking over essentially every part of the system. It was shoved down the throats of every user because the major distros kowtowed to a FOSS diva with a spotty track record, creating a monoculture built on awfulness and bloat.
I'm well familiar with Popper, you are still drawing a direct line between mean-spirited comments on social media to Totalitarianism as a justification for control of speech for differing worldviews? Many of the mean spirited and politically divisive comments are actually simple observations of what is happening at the time. Things which we are told we are not allowed to say?

So therefore, Intolerance is the only rebuttal to intolerance? Argument falls in on itself.

The merging behavior of Nixpkgs modules are much simpler. It doesn't have orders or complex priority rules that depend on where an option is defined. Options have types, which also specifies the merging behavior. Merging of collection types just work.
