Ya, Kimovil is my goto for most cellphone info, but unfortunately they are missing a lot of data on DK frequencies, primarily for 5G, and I would contribute to add them or suggest them, but they don't have an option for that. At least I couldn't find it.

But Cellmapper is not one I knew and it helped me a TON just now actually. Lots of great info and let me see all the bands currently in use, thanks for that.

Seems like a US phone will work mostly without issue in DK based on the 5G and 4G frequencies on Cellmapper.

Thanks again.
I believe the only lasting restriction is speaking about the work due to an NDA, which is not that different than NDA restrictions on speaking about private sector trade secrets and intellectual property. The other restrictions only last if seeking to maintain the clearance or employed in a position that requires a clearance. Clearances expire except for the NDA.
This argument seems ridiculous to me but it's hard to explain exactly why.

People are people, LLMs are... not people - it seems pretty obvious to me that humans learning from seeing things is a basic fact of nature, and that someone feeding petabytes of copyrighted material into an AI model to fully automate generation of art is obviously copyright infringement.

I can see the argument making more sense if we actually manage to synthesize consciousness, but we don't have anything anywhere near that at the moment.
I look forward to trying this out, mostly because I’m very frustrated with censored models.

I am experimenting with summarizing and navigating documents for forensic psychiatry work, much of which involves subjects that instantly hit the guard rails of LLMs. So far, I have had zero luck getting help from OpenAI/Anthropic or vendors of their models to request an exception for uncensored models. I need powerful models with good, hipaa-compliant privacy, that won’t balk at topics that have serious effects on people’s lives.

Look, I’m not excited to read hundreds of pages about horrible topics, either. If there were a way to reduce the vicarious trauma of people who do this work without sacrificing accuracy, it would be nice. I’d like to at least experiment. But I’m not going to hold my breath.
The reality is: blockchain has failed in EVERY area it's been tried, except for illegal/unregulated payments.

Assets tracking? Failed. Interbank settlements? Failed. NFT and art? Spectacularly failed (wanna an NFT for that spectacle?).
I always suck. Like if an app could just give me a green check when the photo in frame was good and then I could just click it then that’d be great.
Thank you very much, my friend. You are a good person.
Nah, the worst ones are the ones written by authors, but who aren't developers. Especially the ones that are authors that just write a book for every new trendy language but never get to the point of actually using those languages themselves.
theoreticalmal's comment seems to imply that taxes on unrealized gains are not a thing, to which I was replying that property taxes are an example of a tax on unrealized gains. Everyone whose home has gone up in market value knows this because their property tax has surely increased over the years even though they haven't sold their home.
AGI, I would hope, would be governed by different laws - including worker’s rights - so that the economic relationships between all parties is more similar to human relationships than LLMs.

In other words: turning Taylor Swift into a software product should be a different legal situation than raising a digital consciousness.
Never End a Text With... (dot dot dot)
The original title is a clickbaity "Never end with..." but I don't think that's allowed on HN. In fact, I had trouble getting any title to work. `"..."` gets converted to just `" "`
Definitely. It's good to point out that these discussions often co-mingle two topics: "What should happen given these laws?" and "What should these laws be?"

I'm glad there's room for both and the gray areas in between.

Do we, for example, have an obligation to those who play by laws we believe to be unjust?
Per their announcement, it sounds like a free user will have to get an annual Enterprise Free license key to use it.

I'd hope that'd be automated, but could also be a "contact us" tier to audit revenue. Time will tell.

Having done startups in the national security space (and had to deal with clearances) -- it's a bad system from both directions -- overly onerous compliance for good people AND ineffective at addressing modern security risks. It made sense in the 1950s as a way to protect large development and operational programs with long tenure employment against penetration by an external adversary (USSR), and to a limited extent, ideological or financially motivated defectors. It doesn't work as well today where someone can become "radicalized" online, foreign/international contacts are routine, etc.

Just being a citizenship bar, even if it did nothing else, really complicates hiring in tech -- what you often end up doing is having as much work as possible done uncleared/commercially and then thrown over the wall to cleared people who can implement it with the client. Works well in infosec with mostly systems integrated with commercial stuff; doesn't work with jet engines or missiles as well

Clearances being handed out like relative candy to 18-28 year olds in the military (so, for someone like Manning, approximately zero information responsive to requests (as minor records excluded, and the 7-10 year lookback isn't relevant when you have far fewer adult years), extreme reluctance to suspend or revoke a clearance when granted), and ineffective reporting of incidents.

The hassle of holding a clearance to some extent depends on the issuing agency/level (DOD Secret is relatively non-hassle; law enforcement ones are more lifestyle focused on paper at lower levels; substantial travel restrictions for levels/programs come in above Secret too).

There is also the difference between official restrictions and reality -- given OPM hack and general government incompetence, it's safe to assume your info becomes public or at least known to adversaries, so even after a clearance expires, it would probably be unwise to travel to some countries for a much longer period. Also exposes your family/other contacts to hassle from both USG investigators and potential foreign adversaries.
The existence of sentient AGIs would certainly have wide-ranging impacts on the law!

This case is not about sentient AGIs.
If the device is really hard to find, how many of your end users are really going to be running it.

Really you just have to try and buy a handful of devices, test on those and then move on if your day. Particularly when it comes to Android, there's probably a few hundred devices released per year .

If Billy Bob with a $35 Android phone can't run your app, there's a good chance he's not your target user in the first place.
Those are basically two different theories to account for the similarities. The one where the hebrews picked up the myth during captivity in babylon is mostly out of favor currently though it has some reputable proponents.

"Political propaganda" isn't quite how I would put it but yes a slightly more main stream theory is that genesis is an intentional reconfiguration of a myth that would have been widely known in the region, for the purpose of repudiating the mesopotamian religion in favor of the hebrew one.

Either way, or both, or neither, the story was "in the air" in the eastern mediterranean/west asia at that time. It was widely known and incredibly influential, and bits of it turn up in basically all significant literature with its roots in that place & era. Scholars go back and forth on the archeological and linguistic evidence but it's fairly commonly held that they are all simply a mesh of mutually-influenced variants of an even earlier myth that was lost or never recorded in its "original" form.
Like if it really worked and made my wife go wow that’s a good photo, I would pay for it, probably 1.99-2.99 a month, or maybe 19.99 one time.
Safari may also be facing the same issues; even before this, the rules about browsers in iOS were (to my non-lawyer eyes) suspiciously similar in market impact to Microsoft's Internet Explorer in Windows 95, for which they got in trouble.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor....

But Edge will not be the only alternative; Firefox does still exist, and the Chromium project has forked into several other browsers besides Edge.
I'm probably one of those people you're referring to, and quite honestly it's not that I don't realize or understand - it's that I don't care. The community you love wasn't always that way - it changed to become what you enjoy, likely to the similar anger/detriment of the previous residents who like the "old" community. I imagine racial segregationists and apartheid advocates used disconcertingly similar arguments.

And Tulsi Gabbard recently was placed on a terror watch list.

All the Federal agencies have been weaponized. SEC only went after companies like LBRY, Inc because their founders and platform share information they don't like. The real fraudsters on Wallstreet get away with anything.
I work in the telecom space. I don't think this paradigm will get adopted in the near future. Customers are already building voice bots on top of Google Dialogflow e.g. Cognigy. Cognigy does have LLM capabilities, but it is not widely adopted. I think voice bots will still have to be manually configured for some time.

> Euclid […] had nothing to say about what fills the gaps between the algebraically (geometrically!) constructible numbers

Did he even know those gaps existed? Euclid lived around 300BC. The problem of squaring the circle had been proposed around two centuries before that (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaxagoras#Mathematics), but I don’t think people even considered it to be impossible by that time.
To an extent. A truly completely formal proof, as in symbol manipulation according to the rules of some formal system, no. It's valid or it isn't.

But no one actually works like this. There are varying degrees of "semiformality" and what is and isn't acceptable is ultimately a convention, and varies between subfields - but even the laxest mathematicians are still about as careful as the most rigorous physicists.
ATTs customers were phone users, hence it was difficult for them. Google's customers are ad companies, and for them, switching away from Google is impossible. By thinking of how easy it is for you to switch, you are not considering the correct customers. And this shows in your statement about better search engine, better search engine cannot come without customers (not you) having option to switch.
What he meant was that the USA can't levy income tax on non-citizens living in other countries.
We need to make it so that most neighborhoods are developed by homebuyers rather than large conglomerates. My 1920s streetcar suburb was platted by the original farmer/owner and then sold off in lots. Today, this would be illegal / cost-prohibitive. It also leads to nicer / more varied neighborhoods where people actually own their land. Instead of yet another branded neighborhood where everything looks the same and the HOA board thinks too highly of themselves

> The structure and function of your UI is naturally expressed in the code of the functions that draw it, instead of in ephemeral and opaque object trees that only exist in RAM after they're constructed at runtime

This is probably it (although perhaps it is not quite the best explanation, but the example in the article helps to explain it); there are many possible implementations of an idea such as this. However, depending on the program and on other stuff, it is not always best for all kind of programs and all kind of UI. (In some cases, a kind of hybrid might do.)

And, as they say about the example, there are things to criticize about it. Still, it can show an example of its use, even though it is a simple example.

I had made my own variant of IMGUI. It uses a "win_form" block, which can be nested and which supports "break", and various other commands inside of the win_form block such as "win_command", "win_numeric", "win_boolean", etc; these commands do not have to be directly but can also be inside of a "if", "for", "switch", etc. These are implemented by C99 macros. The amount of state is small, not more than twenty bytes per active form (regardless of the number of widgets), and it is stored in the stack (but there is no need to explicitly add commands to declare or allocate this state; the "win_form" macro does this automatically).

The git repository https://github.com/zzo38/superzz0 is for a program that contains this UI implementation. The file called "common.h" contains the macros and function declarations, and "window.c" contains the implementation. You can see many uses of it in "edit.c" (search for "win_form" to find many of the uses).

As they say in the article, immediate mode does not necessarily mean that the library doesn't retain data (mine retains a single pointer, which is used to restore state when leaving a nested win_form block), that it needs a GPU to render, etc.
The BSL doesn't make it closed source, it prevents a competitor from running their own DBaaS business using Cockroach as the backend. This has happened to various open source projects, AWS started selling their technology and ate their lunch.

BSL is a totally fair compromise for commercial open source licensing imho.

If you see BSL as the first step to an announcement like today's, that's a fair criticism. Not sure how often that happens. But BSL doesn't disqualify software from being open source.
This is an interesting take. Go is great because it balances performance, expressiveness, ease of use, and bug prevention probably better than any other language. I’m very happy Go is the container-world language instead of Rust, rust is just a pain.

There are a lot of problems, none of which are going to be addressed if the only focus is property values.

A school was knocked down in my neighborhood to build a pricey apartment complex. The district and the developers made a bunch of promises about how current schools would be expanded and more resources would be available. Those were all lies, of course. Apartment complexes make money, public schools do not. Guess which one wins.

This is correct! My CPU implementation of this code can handle the overlapping polygons / meshes / textures. https://phetsims.github.io/alpenglow/#depthSort (takes forever to load, sorry!) is an example of using the analytic approach to render a phong-shaded teapot, where it splits things into adjacent but non-overlapping polygons (from a source of VERY overlapping polygons).
>Many are outdated by the time they hit the press.

Quite a while back, I was contacted by Wiley about writing an OpenStack book. I wasn't the right person to write it anyway. But even if I were, by the time the book hit the shelves, OpenStack would almost certainly have moved on a good two versions.
"Before this ugly edifice, and between it and the wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much overgrown with burdock, pigweed, apple-peru, and such unsightly vegetation, which evidently found something congenial in the soil that had so early borne the black flower of civilized society, a prison."

Scarlet Letter was important among the limited works that could afford to be published. It touches on important idea. But it's stilted language of a different society isn't better than modern language. Just as we don't consider Nathaniel Hawthorne stupid because he wouldn't easily understand a modern sentence like "An open source platform for building a writing space on the web."
That was back when 3D TVs were a thing.

The market for 3D displays is small, and the market for 3D displays that give up some 2D image quality is very small.
To be fair, the person you are replying to didn't use the argument you are describing. They stated it felt gross and then went into detail of the actual argument:

> He was a commercial opportunist, not a real activist or whistleblower.

That is noticeably different than stating, "it feels gross so don't do it".
I'm in the planning phase right now of building my own virtual pinball table cabinet, would absolutely love a 3D display like this to install it in. Course spending close to $10,000 just for the display is a bit much so I'm just going to focus on finding a good 120Hz 4K 43" display and use re-render and infinicolor to provide some depth of field.
Kubernetes Guru – Get K8s Answers Powered by AI
Hi everyone,

We’re planning to launch a free web tool at kubernetesguru.getanteon.com, which leverages a large dataset of Kubernetes-related information that we've gathered from various sources on the internet. We used an RAG-based approach to create a tool that can provide quick, detailed responses to specific Kubernetes questions.

Our testing shows that it often gives more detailed and precise answers compared to general-purpose AI like ChatGPT. However, we haven’t fully tested the UI yet, so there might be some bugs – apologies in advance!

We aim to see if this concept is helpful to the community and to gather feedback on how we can improve it before the official launch. We’d appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you have.
That other, probably-related Hacker News user posted a response to a suicide crisis post that looks like a "four-paragraph standard ChatGPT response", complete with a "Lastly, " at the end. I hope that wasn't done just to increase that account's seeming legitimacy because wow, what incredibly bad taste.

That’s not obvious to me. I suppose it depends on your familiarity with copyright law, as opposed to the noun copyright. I typically don't find oft repeated concepts to have any bearing on the legal reality.
No. See the various state rules of civil procedure concerning the presumptive and requested form of production of electronically stored information. An example is Ariz. R. Civ. P. 26.1(c)(3).
> For some reason, some people outside a community believe they should have a voice on what the actual community wants. As if a community should be expected to want to ruin what makes their space attractive so interlopers can infest it?

I don't understand the notion that that community exists in a vacuum where they're entitled to be insulated from the world changing around them.
I don't think that is true, current PFS algorithms are probably all just an inconvenience PQ, but I think they suggest strategies where one has to have a key at the time of a negotiation or even be part of a decision in a negotiation to ever have the session key as long as the parties discard it.
> Ask Snoop Dogg how much money he gets from streaming compared to CD sales.

If you do that you'll get a very misleading answer. That low payment he got was for writing credit on a song with 17 writers.

But the main reason streaming gives less revenue than CD sales isn't a "devaluation of music" thing, it's because streaming is closer to radio.

It's not really going to work. Without a centralizing consensus, any such scheme is vulnerable to be drowned in forks.

A malicious notary network can simply flood the ledger with conflicting views. So clients will have to somehow find a set of notaries that is the "best".

Proof-of-stake means that there's effectively a vote on the set of "reliable" agents, and proof-of-work works because the malicious notaries can't outrace everyone else.

Yep. People want a bogeyman so bad, but time after time, I show up to hearings, read about efforts to build housing and the problem is local NIMBYism: https://bendyimby.com/2024/04/16/the-hearing-and-the-housing...

"The app was inactive by default and had to be manually enabled"

So I don't really see it as a big deal - I probably have lots of software that's not running but exists on my PC that would be a security risk if "manually enabled".

Though it's good to remove it if it's not necessary, I hardly see it as an emergency thing or really warrant this sort of breathless media drama.
NB- this is in reply to an earlier version of my comment, which I edited out purely for brevity, but now guiltily am restoring here-- where I worried we're marching towards a dystopia like the ones imagined in many works like Idiocracy, Wall-E, or The Machine Stops (misremembering the title as The Machine Breaks Down or something)

You make a very good point. I am starting to hear things along the lines of "But it's normal that some people learn better from videos" and "Why are you gatekeeping this knowledge" and even here you increasingly see references to videos that are much lower detail but higher time commitment summaries of writing that has much more detail available yet could be consumed, skimmed, etc more quickly than sitting through a video that your eyes have no ability to skip around, rushing past the irrelevant and dwelling on the relevant, without ever having to click a button.

Bingo. I rarely (if ever) used motivating examples from physics as test or homework problems. This was to ground calculus in reality somewhere. This was after years of wondering how to deal with the common student complaint of, "but why, where does this even come from?"

So I started telling them where it comes from.
MIERS – Earth Orientation Data
I'm not sure I understand your question exactly, but I am fairly certain that not all quintic fields can be solved by the combination of (1) radicals, i.e. taking roots of x^n - 1, and (2) taking roots of x^5 - x - 1. I don't have a proof in mind at the moment, but I speculate it's not too terribly difficult to prove.

If I'm correct, then the proof would almost certainly use Galois theory!
I’m the author of Learning Go from O’Reilly, so I might be a bit biased.

What I’ve found is that different publishers put different amount of effort into producing good content. O’Reilly is almost always excellent. Others are less so.

It’s hard to find a dev who is willing to invest a year of their life to write a book that is likely to make almost no money. It’s doubly hard to find devs who write well.

Given these filters, two or three good programming books a year sounds pretty great.
