Paper is nice, but can be cumbersome to organize. While I love physical books, my e-reader is so much convenient as it's lighter than the majority of book and I only have the one thing to bring. So if you like to take notes (and refer to them later) something like this could be great. But I agree that it is too much expensive for what it offers and too locked down. At least with the iPad, you can install third-party apps to sync files and what not.

P.S. I was seriously considering it, but I went back to paper after trying to use my iPad for digital notetaking (too much distraction and the main apps, goodnotes and notability, have become awful). I have a clipboard and a ram of paper as a thinking tool. Then I copy the final result in a text file.
Hearing voices is an experience. Behaviour is a response to said experience. They are separate parts of a process which may or may not always result in a same or similar outcome.

i.e. Actual behaviour is not the expected behaviour. The experience is the trigger of said behaviour (or even lack thereof such as a lack of empathy or sympathy).

I’m sure they have a pitch deck. It’s pretty obvious a big chunk will go to compute costs for model training & research. But mostly it’s about the people in any company at this stage, same as any seed funding but on a different monetary scale.

At last someone echoing my biggest gripe with RM2.
I dare say a number of recent sw upgrades have been annoying - but the one that made me use my rm less is the infinite scroll and pressing a button to add a new page. Also the zoom feels very clunky.

Is there a way to revert to the older versions of the software?
There is so much talent in the world that didn’t join PayPal and get silicon valley investors and go on to make billions of dollars and found other companies.

The PayPal mafia includes Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, etc. They now parlayed that capital into more platforms and can easily arrange investments. Heck Peter Thiel even works with governments (Palantir) and got J D Vance on Trump’s ticket, while Elon might be in his admin.

Kolomoisky got Zelensky elected in Ukraine, by launching a show about an unlikely guy who wins the presidency and named the party after the show. They call them oligarchs over there but it’s same thing.

The first guy to 1 million followers on Twitter was Ashton Kutcher. He had already starred in sitcoms and movies for years.

This idea that you can just get huge audiences and investments due to raw talent, keeps a lot of people coming to Hollywood and Silicon Valley to “make it” and living on ramen. But even just coming there proves the point — a talented rando elsewhere in the world wouldn’t even have access to the capital and big boys networks.

Are state-level actors the main market for AI security?

Using the definition from the article:

> AI safety, which refers to preventing AI from causing harm, is a hot topic amid fears that rogue AI could act against the interests of humanity or even cause human extinction.

If the purpose of a state is to ensure its continued existence, then they should be able to make >=$1 in profit.
I work fully remote and have "unlimited vacation", but I have yet to test the limits of it. Earlier in April I had asked a day off 3 weeks in a row (i.e, I asked off 3 thursdays in a row) and my boss admonished me not to "let the unlimited PTO get in the way of my work", despite having only taken off maybe 6 days the entire year. When I pushed him to explain what he meant, he started walking back what he said.

Anyways I'm gonna try to ask off for 2 weeks in December, so let's see how that goes!
One thing more annoying that reading someone's horrible handwriting is having to install a custom font just to read an email. I honestly do not know whether the security setting on my work machine even allows for custom/bespoke fonts in email. It has never come up before.
Maybe that proves his point?
WebRTC is codec agnostic as far as I know, it's up to the peers to negotiate the codecs used. Of course browsers will have more narrow support, but can sometimes activate more codecs via flags or you can use a non-browser client.
This experiment always reminds me of Beakman's World because that's where I first learned of this. :-)
Yeah of course the operation needs to be (cryptographically) authenticated somehow, I edited my comment in haste while going to work and accidentally messed it up completely. Thanks for pointing it out!

The idea I thought of is to essentially use the public key of (2) to seed the generation of the root secret on (1). Meaning the sync-pairing-setup is destructive to the root secret, and can only be done at startup (or if you are willing to reset the device).

(A mallory could of course reset it still, unless you have some e-fuse or something, but anyways that's only marginally worse than simply physically destroying it.)

So how does one prove it then?
Something I always thought Apple would have done it. Instead it seems RM PP may just be good enough.

I am now wondering if we could have a reMarkable Paper Pro Mini, a pocket version I can carry around and take notes.
Because the compiler in base necessarily has the same life cycle as base, while ports lets you rotate new versions in whenever you want.
Looking at the video there is a significant lag in the rendering. Is it noticeable when you're writing? Also looks like there is no pressure sensitivity so all the notes are come out in that ugly fat style. Maybe I'm just spoiled with my Wacom though!

Why not have both? A sensible default for people who share your preferences as well as the ability to change things for people who want something else seems reasonable.
I don’t mean it as a pejorative - I agree that these folks are (often) experts in the area they’re working in. I mean only that the creation of laws does not belong to the bureaucracy, nor the interpretation of laws. Bureaucrats are also not as accountable to the voter (how many execute branch employees have been appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate?) as the legislature.

I think that overturning Chevron should light a fire under the collective behinds of both parties in Congress to write more specific laws that legislate precisely. I am sure it will be mayhem for a while, unfortunately, as decades of laws will be interpreted by the courts for the first time, but in the end it should result in a structure that I believe conforms better to the intended structure (legislators legislate laws which are executed by the executive branch and whether or not those laws are upheld is judged by the judiciary).
I vibe with his comment, so I'll go to bat for his statement, even though I don't precisely know what he was going for.

Kids are very variable, and a simple one time statement of "don't hurt animals" will absolutely not move the needle much in one direction or the other as far as your kid's temperament. Some kids are inclined towards violence from a very early age. Biting, throwing rocks, eye pokes, you name it. The amount of socialization it takes to remedy this can be immense, we're talking tens of thousands of little lessons and lectures, rather than a single "don't do that".

And for what its worth, I'm speaking second hand as well. My daughter is on the complete opposite end of the violence spectrum, passive to the point of shutting down completely if someone intentionally hurts her, which is also a behavior you need to coach against for practical reasons. I've talked with parents on the violent end though, and their problem is at least an order of magnitude harder to deal with.

w.r.t. valval's comment, I agree in that I think these kinds of behaviors are mostly invisible to people not only to people without kids, but also to people whose kids haven't been the age in question in a couple of years. People forget things they themselves have experienced rather rapidly. I have lots of coworkers with multiple kids who still publicly display surprise when someone with a 0-2 year old is suddenly out frequently because their baby is sick or has a medical appointment.

I do agree that his comment is too dismissive, but I think its a reflexive response to a world at large that oversimplifies child rearing to the detriment of parents, which is how I read your comment.

How long ago was your trip?

My first two years after a hero LSD trip had me trying to parse the extended reality. I don’t have BPD or any voices so my experience is more recreational than yours. Now I just appreciate it without a need for explanation. I’m open to more research on the matter, but not holding my breath or speculating on it. I just like that so many other people have experienced it, and that I can tell they have.
Theoretical foundation was slowly built over decades before it started though. And correct me if I'm wrong, but calculations that it was feasible were present before the start too. They had to calculate how to do it, what will be the processes, how to construct it and so on, but theoretically scientists knew that this amount of material can start such process.
On the other hand not only there is no clear path to AI today (also known as AGI, ASI, SI etc.), but even foundations are largely missing. We are debating what is intelligence, how it works, how to even start simulating it, or construct from scratch.

For a very similar use case I've developed custom text rendering in browser with support for CJK, Thai, Arabic (including bidirectional text with Arabic text within Latin or vice versa) and bitmap emojis.

Tbh all the complex part is handled by: https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzzjs which handles the entire text shaping part (which glyphs to draw and the offset from previous glyph), then all that remains is text layout (linebreaking, kerning, line height, font size etc.) and the actual rendering ofc. Still took about 4 months of full-time work.

Binging on Bytes: The Danger of Overprocessed Engineering Content
Maybe I should have clarified a little bit: It's easy to spot hate speech if your moral framework starts with the idea that everyone is entitled to a base level of life and human dignity. I acknowledge that that's not a universal idea. But quite frankly I don't particularly value the opinion of people who disagree with that sentiment.

Moral relevancy is kind of a cop out argument. We don't need literally everyone in the world to agree on something before we start taking action. Advocate for your own opinion, don't hide behind theoretical people across time and space.

Finally, I'm going to flip your argument a bit. You're the one who stated that there's no logical way to identify hate speech, so why don't you provide some examples? What are some things that you've seen identified as hate speech, where you disagree with that assessment?
You've just changed my brand of flour, thanks.

Reading long articles can be a drag, right? We're experimenting a new method
Hi I’m Keshini, and together with my team, I’m building ‘Trendly: QnA based recommendation engine for content.

We’re trying to solve one of the biggest problems that is associated with content aggregators. “Reading Long articles for day-to-day updates. We figured out that people are now using content aggregators to cover their daily news apart from social media. Maybe that's because of the dissemination of false information and manipulation.

Our solutions is a QnA based recommendation engine which extracts the essential information from the content and generates questions to cover the entire context within a couple of seconds. Readers can easily cover long form articles through generated questions. Additionally, we're planning to implement a powerful recommendation engine to ensure users receive content according to their preferences.

We currently integrate this with RSS feeds and would love to hear your feedback. Also, we’re still in the formative stage and hoping to release many cool features in the future.

If you’re interested in trying it out, I’d really appreciate your thoughts on what works, what doesn’t, and any features you’d like to see.
These are capital intensive businesses.

There's no liquidity until they are making money.

It means that AI startups are actually a really poor value proposition compared to traditional tech companies, because your multiplier is limited. First round $50M valuation leaves a lot more opportunity to get rich.

This kind of structure isn't as unusual for capital intensive businesses.

That is a separate claim
This is very interesting and I appreciate your insights. Perhaps for a moment I can share to you the problem I am trying to solve, and do this sort of debugging you mention. I will try my best to make it as language agnostic as possible.

I have an array of bytes (u8’s) (let’s just say integers for now). The first 8 bytes is the signature of that particular sequence of bytes. I compare and check that signature (if it’s not there or doesn’t match the signature I am comparing it too) then we exit the reading operation.

The array of bytes / integers insist to communicate information through 4 byte sequences. So after reading the signature, I would collect the next 4 bytes. I take those bytes and read them, these 4 bytes indicate the length of the upcoming data segment, the next 4 bytes after that contain the data segment type. I read this to determine the type of data segment I am dealing with.

The next read operation is preformed using the length I gathered early. Let’s assume the length said 15, so after reading the data segment type, I read +15 bytes, and store them in some data structure (A Vector). After this, the next 4 bytes mark the end of the data segment. Rinse and Repeat.

I see the following statement in the README:

“You could also use P2P to pull other broadcasters into your stream. No special configuration or servers required anymore to get sub-second co-streams.”

I currently have this setup for doing a co-stream with a friend and it is terrible:

1. Friend is running OBS to capture his gameplay.
2. Friend has OBS streaming to a Raspberry Pi I have running at my house.
3. The Raspberry Pi is running nginx configured to accept the RTMP stream.
4. I run OBS on another machine to capture my gameplay, add overlays, etc.
5. My OBS has an input source using VLC to capture the stream from the Raspberry Pi.

The setup is awful. Video is pretty delayed and it often just stops working. I would love to look into this project but after reading through the README, I am unclear how I would use this for my setup. Any pointers?

I see a common anti-pattern in security researchers in that they can lose sight of the human beings who operate the software.

argv[0] should be used by any logging message that purports to report the program name, because argv[0] should be a string the human recognizes as something they invoked. Taking it away would break usability.

This does, of course, imply that the program name is non-constant untrusted data. Which means we shouldn't be making security software that depends on knowing that name.
I believe what you say is true for the average HN reader. I also believe the subscription is kind of ridiculous.

However, I also believe there is a market out there for a device like this that is 1) extremely limited and 2) very focused on a few specific tasks (handwriting and document review workflow)

For him the ends justify the means. Such people are more political and emotional than truthful and rational.

But clearly they don't care about right to due process and it's just another tool in a political toolbox.
