> not a person who turned off Ukraine's starlink access

That never happened. SpaceX was giving Ukraine Starlink access for free to the tune of 100 million dollars during the war while it was unprofitable to help against Russia and for that crime Musk has been demonized by false information and propaganda. Sad to see this misinformation even on HN.

Starlink was never active in Crimea because it's an occupied Russian territory and Starlink was enabled only in Ukraine controlled territories for obvious reasons.

SpaceX got an emergency request from Ukraine to enable Starlink over Crimea so they can bomb Russian warships, SpaceX refused since Musk was afraid of nuclear escalation. They can't turn off something that was never turned on.

Recently the Pentagon praised SpaceX for blocking Russians' illicit use of Starlink.

I'm just sad Tesla isn't willing to go LIDAR, this is where they're going to lose. They had such a leg up as an early mover and all the advantage is gone. China's starting trials in SF and it's just a matter of time before I buy a Waymo licensed car.

I hadn't looked into that story before so was following the rabbit hole of articles and gists and stuff and saw that some referenced a kill switch via env variable, so I just tossed it into that CyberChef online tool using its "magic mode" and ticked the "intensive mode" box and it was the top result. Just commented because I hadn't seen it elsewhere and figure it might be a little easter egg of sorts.
This, combined with how easier they are to lose, is why I didn't buy Airpods, but rather the $20 Chinese bluetooth earpods on Amazon.

Freedom of speech ? Tesla pretty much survived thanks to Elon's deal with China to build the Shanghai factory. He never ever said anything about freedom of speech there.

He also actively tried and succeed to shut down people pointing out online that Tesla finances were in a very dire state at the time (2018). Lookup 'Montana Sceptic' case - he found out the guy, personally called the office he worked in, and threatened with lawsuits, which would include his employer.

When the OS starts up, it fetches all the source files and puts their content inside a huge JavaScript object the "hard disk". From that object, it will append the GUI script, kernel script, taskbar, and start menu to the DOM. The GUI script does most of the heavy lifting. The kernel script handles, creating, updating, and deleting of files and folders. Folders are really just nested objects inside the main hard disk object

>is there any reason that isn’t an excellent idea?

yes. Missile shields threaten the ability of an enemy to retaliate, they're first strike enablers (so despite the name, effectively offensive weapons). The only rational choice for an opponent would then be to strike immediately before they're rendered defenseless. You would have effectively bought yourself an immediate nuclear war once Russia perceived that threat to be imminent.

Your existence hinging on a dictators mood isn't nice, but what's worse is making it game theoretically necessary for them to glass you immediately.

I've mostly stopped using third party identity providers. They have multiple problems, but the thing that finally drove me away was bad implementations locking me out of the accounts they were supposed to protect.

The most recent example was a GitLab instance that was demanding my password before it would let me update the email address on my account. I didn't have a password, because I created the account by logging in with another site. Tech support was nonexistent. I ended up abandoning the account.
It seems that Google Translate simply output garbage when you input garbage. So it should be indeed a coincidence to get this translation.

The value prop isn't serde_json, it's automatically generated serializers and deserializers for structured data without needing an extra codegen step like with protobufs/capnproto, plus all that machinery decoupled from the actual data format you're reading.

It essentially generates a massive amount of code that you need to write anyway, at the cost of code size and compile time. And a lot of people are happy to make that trade off.

I wouldn't call that a "bloated monster" because of that. Also, none of those options are alternatives to serde_json, unless you restrict yourself to serde_json::Value - which no one does in practice.

"The title is misleading."

OK, let's assume the title misled me. What do I now believe as a result that is incorrect.

Titles are not summaries. It is expected that readers will read the body of the submission not merely the title. Is the JATO Dynamics report accurate. The title is simply repeating an alleged fact contained in the report. Is it false.

If all a reader ever does is read titles, I am afraid "misled" is an understatement for how disllusioned that reader may become.

People defending Tesla and Musk always come across as try hard.
I agree with most of that.

I find HN ... mostly ... more worthwhile than not. The styling / UI/UX is abysmal.

I used it for one account, then realized that I would never be able to keep track of which account I used for which account. Ie Google for This. Apple for that.

of course probably because of acoustic this or that having solid pins is "much" better?

Yours are broken somehow. That's insane.
This whole spectacle has got to be one of the better examples of "be careful what you wish for" I've ever seen. Between Musk's bravado and running his mouth, and the absolute salivating that his detractors were doing when the courts were deciding whether to force the purchase or not, the end result everyone thought they were wishing for was probably a lot rosier than the actual result. I'm pretty sure the only people who have actually gained anything from this entire farce were the previous owners. Everyone else, from the current owners and investors, to the users, to the rest of us that have to live in a world where Twitter/X continues to be relevant, have pretty much been made worse off by the whole thing.
I want to believe you but until the price range becomes below $1000 or so there’s virtually no market. It’s a toy. People don’t need a teleportation device. It’s fun to play with, like a toy. It doesn’t really solve enough of a “real” problem to justify the current cost. It’s also too expensive to be given as a holiday or birthday gift by most family members.

As Carmack (the game guy, head of Oculus, etc.) says, until the headgear gets down to swim goggle size, it's not going to get any traction, and until it gets down to eyeglass size, it's not going mainstream.

The Apple Vision Pro was an unexpected dud. Something more eyeglass sized, with phone-like functionality and good design, would have been more in line with Apple's aesthetic. Instead, it was another half brick on your head VR headset. Apple had a success with iDweebs, their ear pieces, as something worn full time. The Apple Vision Pro could not be used that way.

> I don’t understand why people bother replying to a question asking “how do you do x” with “I don’t do x.”

It might be easier to understand if you substitute "x" here with, say, "encrypting passwords with MD5". It illustrates better why someone might think giving "I don't do it" style of responses instead of directly answering the literal question that was asked.

Back to OP's specific case, maybe they keep creating accounts with SSO login only due to inertia and haven't really thought about reevaluating this habit. Not saying this is the case, since we don't know the specific reason OP is using SSO (e.g. if it's convenience, what makes SSO more convenient than the password manager? maybe they are following the recommendations from some random blog post that assumed a different threat model?).

So, alternative points of view might still be useful, if only as food for thought. Maybe a more fitting solution might come out of such discussions.

If you are the sole creator of a content, yes, you should be mentioned. But when 1000 others have written the same thing, like a ToDo app or a sorting algorithm, then it becomes impossible to name all the authors, or to disentangle their influences.

Technically it could be possible to have author metadata either prefixing or postfixing content, that way the model learns to generate from an author style or to predict the (likely) attribution of a snippet. Or they could create a BERT embedding model for author metadata and another for content, and train them with the CLIP method. So the model would learn to map text to author embeddings.

There are tons of data with author and date - books, journals, papers, media articles, blog posts, social network posts, github repos - they all provide a way to index ideas to their authors and in time, so we could potentially find who first invented an idea and who expanded on it later.

The negative effects could include disclosing authors of anonymous texts online, or disclosing the sources of influence of one author even when they keep them secret, or don't even realize themselves. Could be embarrassing to have your sources outed like that. You might find out your original ideas were invented elsewhere.
