“Worthless” is quite a strong claim. There isn’t much work I’ve encountered that’s truly “worthless”, even though bad work can make me quite upset. Anyways, that’s why I would often caveat.
I've written this comment here before, but I'll do it again.

"Post-9/11" began minutes after the first planes found their targets. Flight 93—the one that crashed in Pennsylvania—never made it because the passengers revolted after hearing about the other planes.

It only took a few minutes for the calculus to change. Knowing what was up, those passengers flipped from wait-and-see mode to fuck-you mode. This is pretty good evidence that you're right: the biggest increase in security was and still is that passengers will not be meek anymore.
In Switzerland,I don't see the setting to ensble Fediverse for my Threads account. Also I cannot find @myusername@threads.net in Mastodon.
Without a framework? Unfortunately, no since there's a necessary compile step to instrument the code.

Thought theoretically, you could write a parser to add the necessary information to the HTML tags at "build time"
At this point they likely have no choice but to keep building on a chromium base. However the cost of maintaining their changes and additions will likely increase.
Perfect. Now I have a calendar event to “Install Covid”. Thanks!
So why are you naming that non toy kernel your company uses in many devices in production?

I did not say that there are not tons of millions of Rust lines of code used in production, I wish there would be a modern kernel for PCs not some micro/nano kernel for some board. I see it a big waste to push Rust into Linux or Windows kernels instead of those competent developers writing that new modern kernel, it feels like they are forced to work on Linux/Windows so they want to have fun with Rust at work. If Rust is so superior then you just need to start the kernel, prove is super fast and super safe and Big Tech will put the money so they can use it on their servers, Like why would Netflix not use the super kernel written in Rust ?
lol dude. Nobody said that 4chan links are posted to HN, just that 4chan definitely raids HN.

4chan is very well known for brigading. It is also well known that using 4chan as well as a number of other locations, such as discord, to post links for brigades are an extremely common thing that the alt-right does to try to raise the “validity” of their statements.

I also did not claim that only these opinions come from 4chan. Nice strawman bro.

Also, my friends do not believe these things. I do not make a habit of being friends with people that believe in genociding others purely because of sexual orientation or identity.
It means that the process of assimilating new information, coming to conclusions, and deciding what a nation should do is carried out in the minds of the public, not in the offices of relatively small groups who decide what they want the government to do, figure out what conclusions would support it, and then make sure the public only assimilates information that would lead them to such conclusions.
It's not my job to do your legal research for you and you're misrepresenting the facts of the case.

As I expected, Mr. Prudente wasn't jailed for violating a HOA rule but rather for refusing to comply with a regular court order. It's a tragic situation and I sympathize with the defendant but when someone buys property in an HOA they agree to comply with the CC&R. If they subsequently lack the financial means to comply then they have the option of selling the property, or of filing bankruptcy which would at least delay most collections activities. HOAs are not charities, and poverty is not a legally valid reason for failing to meet contractual obligations.
HN is _not_ a monolithic bulletin board -- the messages on a BBS were never (AFAIK) sorted by 'popularity' and users didn't generally have the power to demote or flag posts.

Although HN's algorithm depends (mostly) on user input for how it presents the posts, it still favours some over others and still runs afoul here. You would need a literal 'most recent' chronological view and HN doesn't have that for comments. It probably should anyway!

@dang We need the option to view comments chronologically, please
the UK is being ran with the same level of incompetence as Boeing
Yes. Buying a hammer and hitting yourself with it IS different.
No... that's not how that mechanism was ever used. The authentication flow I'm describing was used by companies to embed login flows for functionality that was delivered by iframe as companion behavior next to the first-party site.
I don't think any of that actually matters for the CDA liability question, but it is definitely material in whether they are found guilty assuming they can be held liable at all.
Pretty much, although most TsA check lines no longer require even a boarding pass- so in theory you could pack a bomb with you then bypass all the security theater with this.
You imply just buying a property and building a datacenter in it automatically includes government approvals to release anything you want to air and groundwater? You can't be serious.
Uh yeah, the court of appeals has reached an interesting decision.

But I mean what do you expect from a group of judges that themselves have written they're moving away from precedent?
Sent via your servers, I assume, since you are providing the Anthropic api key.

So we must trust both Anthropic's and your infrastructure with our code.

I agree that a local LLM is the way to go.
So the applications are made via A.I, then read via A.I (at least in the case of the major job sites, e.g seek and linked in).
I agree with the poster that this shouldn't be necessary, and is usually done by candidates who don't seem to realise the actual problem (usually themselves), but the recruiters have some blame in applying the same system to read the applications.
As a side note, is this becoming one of the first pure A.I information businesses? Given you can mimic voices and video via LLM, you could start going to interviews via A.I generation too...
I hate it especially when Bonus Tracks for limited editions of Albums disappear because the streaming services only list the regular releases.
The thing I like about rooftop residential solar is that the substations and the feeder lines don't need to get upgraded. During the hot sunny part of the day, the locally produced energy can go right into AC.

When grid scale batteries drop in price, the substations can also store energy. Then the feeder lines only ever need to support the base load power draw.

Solar is so cheap, that even in off grid installations, the battery bank can be a fraction of what it previously would have been sized for. Modern batteries can be charged much faster and workloads can be shifted to the sunny part of the day.
why is someone sharing the "whats new in 2.1" document that has about 5% of what 2.1 is going to have? see that big red "IN DEVELOPMENT" at the top?

this is really premature to be posting on hacker news, we're hoping for 2.1 being ready sometime middle of next year if we are lucky
Yes, bow down before your god.

You people are so weird.
Exactly, it makes no financial sense, you'd never get payback on it at that price. The company offering it had payment plans and all, with 0% interest, to make it more attractive, but that's just part of the grift.
FYI wouldn't interview here. Got rejected after a 30 minute behavioral screen after spending 8 hours on an unpaid take-home.
Can you say more about how the ruby community is breaking these principles? Was that part of the reason you left the community?
You're grouping lots of unrelated things.

All large sites have terms of service. If you violate them, you might be removed, even if you're "the dominant electoral candidate". Remember, no one is above the law, or in this case, the rules that a site wishes to enforce.

I'm not a fan of political censorship (unless that means enforcing the same ToS that everyone else is held to, in which case, go for it). Neither am I for the radical notion of legislation telling a private organization that they must host content that they don't wish to.

This has zero to do with net neutrality. Nothing. Nada.

Is there evidence that the government leaned on a private company instead of meeting with them and asking them to do a thing? Did Facebook feel coerced into taking actions they wouldn't have willingly done otherwise?
I didn't think it was legal to ignore a DMCA takedown request. Doesn't that put them on the hook of being sued?
> Would open-sourcing CodeViz change your willingness to give it a try?

Yup. Or a web app that I can point to an open-source repo.

Regarding C4, I'm no expert. I know the guys at IcePanel, an earlier YC-cohort company (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34338995) that specializes in C4 diagrams, and they're very friendly, so if you haven't yet, they'll be much more equipped to chime in on C4 stuff.

Long context windows are IMO, “AGI enough.”

100M context window means it can probably store everything you’ve ever told it for years.

Couple this with multimodal capabilities, like a robot encoding vision and audio into tokens, you can get autonomous assistants than learn your house/habits/chores really quickly.
I'm in the Seattle metro area and 25K to 40K is very common. They tell you all kinds of subsidies and payback periods but the out of pocket or loan is always in that range. And payback periods are terrible here given the weather.
Show HN: Awk Version Comparison Dashboard
While building complicated awl scripts, I've struggled to remember which versions of awk support which features.

To test my awk scripts and ensure compatibility with all versions of awk, I've built this dashboard which can be used to ensure the output is what I expect with test data.

awks is built into WASM using emscripten.

There are some provided examples of varying outputs between versions, including the surprising example #3.
Seems reasonable. You stay in the Zuckerberg ecosystem and we’ll cut off its parasitic tentacles.
Imagine you get together a team of really good developers, who really want to help government work better for people, pay them semi-competitively [*], and just task them with building and deploying the software aspects of this system.

Maybe the software is fully delivered within a year, at a cost of $10M? (Excluding non-software costs of this project.)

Then those team members can move on to the next project(s).

[*] I'm thinking: don't pay as much as FAANG, but maybe 50% FAANG-TC, as straight salary. Meaning FAANG mercenary types motivated only by money filter out themselves for you, but it's still doable for top-tier people who want to do beneficial work, with enough income and job stability that they shouldn't be distracted from work by those stresses. You'd really need to keep the hiring bar up, though, carefully hand-picking small teams, and not compromising if your formula is successful. (And be able to say no to agencies want to scale to too many projects in parallel, or to some politician wants to make it a jobs program, or stuff it with patronage/nepo hires.)
ANSI SQL is very much a thing, and you should strive to keep your queries as close as possible to standard SQL as your database engine allows, if you want those queries to be portable to other database technology in the future.
Well, that claim isn't true.

Solar + Storage is cheaper than a gas peaker plant, but it is not cost competitive with a base load gas plant.
How do rumors and news propagates? And we still consider that the person sharing it with us is partially responsible (especially if it's fake).
Oh come on guys, this is silly. We're all gonna stop using a tool because they offhand mentioned something we don't agree with? I mean, these tools are developed by people - people have opinions.

I understand politics is very divisive, but why is everyone acting like a baby? Just move on. Who cares. Python is a language, who gives a fuck they included a meme about it's OK to be White? I'm convinced nobody even found this meme organically anyway, rather one person found it and then sent it around to all their like-minded friends so they can sit around and point and laugh and complain together. You're telling me y'all ACTUALLY found this webpage and scrolled through it organically? Come oooooon.
So where do those people go to work instead? I want to work with them.
I’m not sure what they’re talking about, but I’ll throw my hat into the ring. Copyright and other such systems are destroying any chance that we, as humanity, have of letting LLMs progress in an open and transparent manner. We have to hide the training data and make the weights a black box because of such antiquated notions such as copyright. While I am willing to permit some level of exclusivity with creative works, 100+ years is unreasonable and stagnates human creativity even outside of ML tasks. In the 19th century, I could take a book I was raised on and write my own fanfiction, and because that book would have been public domain by the time I was an adult I could add onto the work and the other fans of the previous work can build upon it with me. We see this with Sherlock Holmes for instance. If I wanted to publish a book set in the world of Harry Potter I’d need to wait for JK Rowling to croak, and then wait another 70 YEARS.

We need dramatic reforms on copyright, as we’ve really let corporate interests crowd out our rights to human culture and ideas. While I alone cannot decide what we as a country should find reasonable, I can say I find 20 years + 5 years extension is perfectly reasonable and that corporations should have never been able to pay off politicians to get what they wanted. Let alone Sonny Bono, that bastard, signing in bills that specifically benefited him.

So, to reiterate, the idea I feel that corporations want to destroy is the idea that we, as a people, have rights to the works that form our popular culture and that no one man, let alone a faceless corporation, should be able to profit from a singular work for hundreds of years.
Who are these people you're talking about?
How can this even be possible? What the hell...
Sure, but the "See it, say it, sorted" announcement is played over and over ad nauseam on the train; it's not just a sign. It's the national rail equivalent of "mind the gap" on the tube, which is also said over and over again. In the case of the tube it makes a little more sense since the ridership is changing significantly at every stop. But on a 4+ hour ride up to Edinburgh, it is pretty redundant to make the announcement every minute or so.
There's things like 'second chance' where the editorial team can re-up posts they feel didn't get a fair shake the first time around, sometimes if a post gets too 'hot' they will cool it down -- all of this is understandable but unfortunately does mean they are actively moderating content and thus are responsible for all of it.
That's because you don't understand what you're reading.
> I intend to buy undeveloped land far from civilization

I'm always intrigued by this notion, I know plenty of Americans have this kind of plan, but it's never quite as remote as they think, because, y'know you're still in America somewhere.

Unless you're thinking of somewhere in northern Canada.

I'd love to know where is considered 'far from civilization' on the continental US.
You're reading it too literally here - the CDA applies to:

>(2) Interactive computer service The term “interactive computer service” means any information service, system, or access software provider that provides or enables computer access by multiple users to a computer server, including specifically a service or system that provides access to the Internet and such systems operated or services offered by libraries or educational institutions.
Have 13 of them and I love them
This is confusing to me as well. You could always escalate later, right?
Based on the language on their site about requiring an existing CASS subscription, my guess is there was no approval at all. It appears this person has knowledge of the CASS/KCM systems and APIs, and built a web interface for them that uses the airline's credentials to access the central system. My speculation is that ARINC doesn't restrict access by network/IP, so they wouldn't directly know this tool even exists.

Some quick googling shows the FlyCASS author used to work for a small airline, so this may piggyback off of his prior experience working with these systems for that job. He just turned it into a separate product and started selling it.

The biggest failure here is with ARINC for not properly securing such a critical system for flight safety.
As far as known physics goes, nothing is too big to be subject to quantum mechanics.

It is very hard to demonstrate that fact though, the obvious way of doing it is to build a large quantum computer.
I tried searching for FREE SMELLS but I think the server is currently overwhelmed
The articles argument is about the US moving inside the range band we see though not about the US having a 100 fold reduction in the power generated that would be required to drop us into the lower right.

I did the math on the data elsewhere in this thread [0] and in an outcome that should surprise no one there's a transition around 1970 where the ratio between power used and gdp created per capita changes drastically, in 1970 we produced .69 units of GDP per unit of energy and in 2014 we were producing 7.94 using inflation adjusted dollars and oil kg equivalent per capita. We just moved into a different type of economy and there's no data in the graph or article to back up the assertion that falling off the HA curve and consuming ~5x less power per capita our GDP is somehow 5x smaller.

They're not prohibited. They're just liable for it, just like manufacturers are liable for defective products that endangers people.
>it seems like it's basically LLVM

Not important, you have to compile your Compiler fini, btw for Linux (just the Kernel) you need Perl ;)
What will you replace it with?
Thanks for flagging that one. It has turned out to be a very busy namespace. We're focusing on making sure the product sticks first... then figuring out if the name needs changing is a good problem to have! :D
Maybe it's unclear why I've brought this up. I understand it's not possible to keep everything locked down in a way that prevents my information from leaking.

And as unfortunate as that is, that's not my concern with your original comment.

I do not want that problem made worse. I don't care if it's already kind of bad. I have no idea why the problem already being bad would justify making it worse.
I'm defending "right-sizing' the compute to match the workload; and the RPis are entirely capable to handle most "ambient computing" batched tasks.

My homelab includes 1L PCs and 1 U rackmounts (actual servers) - I appreciate what each brings to the table.
Sounds like fixing that would be really bad for Samsung’s bottom line. Higher cost of materials initially, less frequent upgrades, and only a very small subset of super technical users even realize what the problem is.
I swear 666 and 420 are the most common street addresses in the city

Germany has been the biggest exporter of electricity in the world for 8 of the last 10 years[0]. It consistently generates more than it consumes. It's been this way since around 2004.

German wholesale electricity prices are relatively low by European standards - so far this year about 8th cheapest - about 13% cheaper than of France, for example[1]. This reflects the blended cost of production. Household prices are higher than average - because domestic consumption of electricity is taxed more heavily in Germany than the average in Europe.

Freedom of speech, not reach of their personal curation preferences, narrative shaping due to confirmation bias and survivorship bias. Tech is in the put them on scales to increase their signal, decrease others based upon some hokey story of academic and free market genius.

The pro-science crowd (which includes me fwiw) seems incapable of providing a proof any given scientist is that important. Same old social politics norms inflate some deflate others and we confirm our survival means we special. Ones education is vacuous prestige given physics applies equally; oh you did the math! Yeah I just tell the computer to do it. Oh you memorized the circumlocutions and dialectic of some long dead physicist. Outstanding.

There’s a lot of ego driven banal classist nonsense in tech and science. At the end of the day just meat suits with the same general human condition.
So you're the one who broke the server?
As I understand it, X was fined, didn't pay, and the judge pierced a few corporate veils to discover that Starlink and X share a majority owner.
Part of the reason why Crowdstrike have access, why MS wasn't allowed to shut them out with Vista was a regulatory decision, one where they argued that somebody needs to do the job of keeping Windows secure in a way that biased Microsoft can't.

So, I guess you could have some sort of escrow third party that isn't Crowdstrike or MS to do this "audit"?

> They've built a couple since, but after an intense build out during the 70's they haven't had to keep building.

I don't get this. France had 71% of their grid nuclear in 2018. From 1980 until 2000, the only new power installed in France was nuclear. What do you mean "keep building"? Reach 100% nuclear, banning/removing all other forms of energy? Even more than that and export energy?
Dang has been open about voting being only one part of the way HN works, and that manual moderator intervention does occur. They will downweigh the votes of "problem" accounts, manually adjust the order of the frontpage, and do whatever they feel necessary to maintain a high signal to noise ratio.

Creating an Immutable System with NixOS, systemd-repart and systemd-sysupdate
That sort of data can be extremely useful to pattern someone. Most people brush their teeth either in the morning, or before bedtime (or both ideally.) So just knowing _when_ they're brushing their teeth you can determine their sleep pattern, and thus match that up somewhat to a timezone. On it's own this isn't incredibly useful, but combined with some other data it becomes a lot more useful to identify someone.
The scroll ball showed up on some early production devices, like the HTC Dream. Directional keypads lasted even longer.
