Massively subsidizing anything to do with oil has certainly caused all these byproducts to be super artificially cheap, so with the governments with globe-spanning military empires absorbing most of the cost and ensuring not even the mildest threat of accountability for "externalities" in an economy designed to reward single-minded monetary optimization, it was pretty inevitable that things made of oil would get pervasive everywhere

Maybe we should convince government to do less of those things somehow?

Dear LinkedIn, i don't care about your new shiny AI. Fix your primary features first, like the jobs tab doesn't show anything for me in any company, your job search is amateur (I could have implemented it better) and website and application are always laggy and overheating my iPhone or m1 after a couple minutes.
> It’s also 3-4x faster than typing out comments

Yeah faster for you, much much slower for everyone who has to receive it and listen to you ramble incoherently. That's just selfishness talking, just like that friend who is always late for things making everyone wait. "My time is worth more than yours".

When will I get auto speech to text for all voice messages on all messaging apps? Or better still auto-decline all voice messages; "Sorry this recipient has disabled voice messages".

There is no stats to what you are speaking. General People not being able to get to doctor in months is a bigger problem than a rare false negative.

This also reduces burden on doctors. If the only thing your doctor does is prescribe antibiotics and orders scans. Why not do it yourself and get treated early.
You know for once, I'm not even that mad about something like this. Mostly because I literally never do anything on LinkedIn other than once in a month check my messages there.

I'd love to see the slew of AI-generated garbage, since it'll be completely indistinguishable from regular LI "content"!

The smaller-diameter versions of their solid-fuel missiles were recently shipped to Russia and will (US assesses) be used against Ukraine and Ukrainian civilians in the coming weeks.

I'll keep to myself my thoughts on the Iranian ballistic missile program, because they're off topic for HN. I'm not going to be celebrating this achievement.
Consolidate step 2 and 3 into one and cut it down from 4 hours to 1 or you’ll have a lot of people “fail” because they don’t want their time wasted (usually companies pay for extensive tests with programming). You can still kick people out during their trial period even in countries with strict labor laws too.
From the picture it looked to me like it was more aligned with the DAC, although I double checked and I don't think that any DACs of that size would be in the order of 20-30 grams. Could a discharge be angled like that within the confines of the can?
> You keep saying that. How do you know?

Because I find the position not to blame the EU so baffling and irrational that I was curious about the people who advocate that position. The first few times I checked the profiles it was very clearly EU users. I kept checking, while being very aware of and cautious of falling prey to confirmation bias, yet the same pattern kept holding.

> Even if you looked at the profile of everyone you interacted with, I doubt you’d be able to ascertain nationality.

Enough EU users freely comment in their history that they are in the EU somewhere, because enough threads come up where it's relevant. It's really not that hard to ascertain nationality of HN profiles with activity at all.

> And I find it bizarre that someone would kowtow to corporations purposefully exploiting them,

No one is doing that in a context relevant to this thread. It's literally a red herring.

The issue to who gets the blame/credit for the cookie popups. That's it.

> I’m not sure you understand what an example is.

It's been so hard for me to bite my tongue and withhold snark due to your positions, and yet here you give in to the temptation freely. Kind of frustrating. Please remember the HN guidelines.

> They are made so we can find a common ground on a subject and discuss the merits of an idea, not to change the subject.

Exactly, but to use an analogy you're discussing how people speeding are a problem while everyone else is complaining about the sirens of a police unit specifically to catch speeders are too loud.

Your position is a red herring. You keep talking about the immoral yet explicitly legal practices of these companies, and it's entirely irrelevant. As long as those companies are engaging in legal activities, then the blame for how they engage with them goes to the regulators.

> Seems like today you can buy all these tiny resistors, capacitors, chips, etc and pretty much do your own boards at home, right?

The "starter kit" I would suggest is:

- temperature controlled soldering iron. This is worth the premium over "dumb" irons, especially for leadfree solder. People have different opinions about brands, but try Hakko or Weller. Start with a small chisel tip

- solder paste is a more advanced substance, and is perishable and should be kept in the fridge. Stick to a reel of thin solder to get started

- flux pen is surprisingly useful

- resistors are cheap enough that you can just buy all of them: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001321720241.html

- ICs you should stick to Digikey or other local supplier and NOT aliexpress

- PCBs: services like JLPCB will make these and ship them to you

- desk lamp. Possibly one with a magnifier.

- some people will get serious about fume extraction; personally I quite like the smell of flux and just leave a window open. Be careful with airflow in case you blow away smaller components

- solder braid: annoying, doesn't work well. Try a solder sucker

- advanced but extremely useful tool: solder tweezers

- hot air gun and/or oven: again a more advanced tool, but critical for certain parts. Avoid those parts.
Peertube has been a fantastic way to mirror videos from Youtube and have embedded versions that are ad- and cookie-free. It's got support for mirroring channels from the other video providers which makes it a breeze to run. I've deployed it for various communities:

- https://watch.ocaml.org (for all the OCaml language talks over the past 20 years)

- https://watch.eeg.cl.cam.ac.uk (for our research group on environmental science)

- https://crank.recoil.org (for my personal talks and videos)

The fediverse integration is a minor plus, but the permanent nature of the video hosting. My only wish is that there was a way to bidirectionally mirror view counts, so that the Peertube mirrors don't look like a ghost town.

> before they ran into the regions resource limit and adapted a religion

They didn't 'run into the regions [sic] resource limit and adapt a religion'; said religion was forced upon them by the sword. Iran's state religion (if you could call it that) was Zoroastrianism. There are zero Zoroastrians left in Iran; most of them have fled to... India. And said religion ripped through the Indian subcontinent, too; it is why Pakistan and Bangladesh are separate nations today.
Let's not be flippant about something GP didn't actually say.

The Polynesian people aren't native Americans; as far as we can tell all native Americans came to the continents via the Beringa land bridge in the last glacial maximum[0][1]. However, as others mentioned there have been multiple reasons to believe that Polynesians and native Americans had contact, and this would be more genomic evidence pointing to that.

Actually it depends. Apple does provide a way to configure your app for certificate pinning, which then allows you to pin certificates without any changes in your code. [1]

Any apps that set up certificate pinning this way could be bypassed by Apple, though obviously there would be little value in them doing it since that'd just lead to app developers doing what you're describing instead.

Though if I'm understanding this correctly, jailbroken phones could probably bypass it by modifying an app's Info.plist and running the app despite the broken signature.

Not everyone. EU residents don’t seem to be affected at the moment. But it still sucks
Besides technical details, in a normal usage scenario, the context length is also much greater than the generation length.
It's a very cool story that seems to be completely made up to me.

While the nuclear accident was in large part caused by what one may call "Soviet factors", the Soviet authorities were not some comically stupid villains. They certainly understood the dangers radiation presents to living beings so thousands of cattle from the surrounding area were killed, starting shortly after the meltdown. In the 80s, the USSR didn't have famine-level food shortages either. Yes, there were the unforgettable queues, some rationing and overall shortages, but no famine risk and no incentive for the government to try and feed radioactive cows to the population.

And technically, flipping a bit on an SM-1800 (which wasn't a PDP-11 clone like most SM-series machines, the 1800 was more or less an Intel 8080 machine), with the 80s transistor sizes, would certainly require a considerable level of radiation. The cows in the story weren't using the computer terminal, they'd be passing at least a few meters away even if the train track was close, radiation falls off quite rapidly.

On top of that, Chernobyl fallout was mostly the wrong isotopes for this. Iodine-131 is terrible for people but decays quickly (half-life of 8 days so 86% would be gone in a month), Cesium-137 was very widespread but neither of these produce alpha rays, which are the main source of bit flips, the isotopes produce gamma rays which are less likely to flip anything.

Finally there's the bit where "Sergei decided to move his family out" in 1986, and "filed immigration papers with any country that would listen". That wasn't a thing. The Soviet Union did not allow people to freely leave until just a few months before its collapse, leaving the country was very challenging, few people got approved, it only became easier in 1987 to get an exit visa and a computer engineer in 1986 definitely didn't have the option of deciding to file immigration papers with several countries. I'd say this is some embellishment of the story to give it a fun conclusion, but with the rest of it, I'm pretty sure it's just made up.
It also supports putting keyinfo into the document as well and validates it by default unless you really know to go out of your way to disable it.

The Islamic revolution was blowback from the CIA/MI6 coup of the 1950s, and was not desired or engineered by the US.

> I even provided the links that has screenshots of their opt-out form.

and I am asking you to think like a lawyer.

The reason they are doing this is because they want to access user data. They cannot yet.

As I stated in the post, FAIR can't process user data, as a large part of their infra doesn't support it.

If the rest of the AI team want to process the shit people enter into it, they need to get explicit legal review to do so. This warning/ToC change is the direct result of that.

bear in mind that the FCC audits the place every year, so if they see that the lawyers have gone "nope do use that data until we have implied permission" and then the audit turns up that they've just ignored the lawyers, its going to cost literal billions.

> We may still process information about you

Can you outline how might someone reliably and accurately detect your face in a photo taken by a tourist in a public place?

Again, that's lawyer for covering arses.
It really is that simple. It's bizarre the way people try to blame companies engaging in legal activities for doing something the EU specifically requires them to do.
Eh? Seems rather trivial to me. In python one could implement it by themselves with a set, a list, and a for loop.

It hardly seems worthy having a library over such a specific use case.

Are those different from Russian GOST algorithms? I think there’s a bunch of libraries (mostly forks of other popular open source libraries) for that.
As someone in the same income range, and many friends in comparable spot, I have to say that NHS is sometimes ok.

Here's an NHS case.

Case 1. My friend's wife had her body going numb, like, completely senseless. They didn't have a private insurance back then. It was maddening hard to get past the GP. And then there were numerous tests, and queues, and... She had a viral brain infection that was, luckily, easy to fix. Could go horribly wrong should they wait for a couple more months.

The problem is that GPs are afraid to assign tests other than the most simple blood tests (unless it's an obviously broken bone).

Case 2. My wife fainted in the middle of a family dinner. It looked serious, and I recognized the sympthoms thanks to dr. ChatGPT. Our car was at service that day. I was trying to get an ambulance but calling all the publicly available NHS numbers but all we got were endless questioneers. We had to force the situation by taking a taxi right to the hospital door. She had an urgent surgery the same evening, quite serious.

Again, there's just TOO MUCH backpressure from NHS at the entrance. Once you get past these filters, it actually it decent.

OTOH, with my highest tier private insurance I had an MRI scans, kidney checks, blood tests all done within a week or two, mostly because of how I had to coordinate things between various private clinics. Not fast, sure, but acceptable.
Lots of small strings sparsely spread over 282MB is pretty cache inefficient?

Whereas the separate small allocations will likely end up close together, which gives a better chance that a given cache line will contain several rather than just one.
> YouTube is apparently working very hard at defeating ad-blocking (with varied results so far), etc.

They could embed the ad in the video stream. It would be a pita to circumvent. Essentially you'd need to record the video and fast skip the ads.
Can you provide some citation for the claim that x86-64 (assuming something modern like AMD Zen or Intel (post) Skylake P-core) does page table walking/TLB-filling in microcode instead of the fairly obvious state machine that can walk as quickly as the cache hierarchy can deliver the table entries? Well, maybe give it a full cycle latency to process the response and decide the next step, though I don't remember there being any addition required to generate the address of the next level's page table entry so the bit of combinatorics to control the cache's read port might fit in the margins between the port's data out latches becoming valid and the address in latches's setup deadline.
You are throwing the baby with the bath water. XML is fine, even if it has some gotcha. Astronauts will go wild with any tech at their disposal (I'm seeing it every day at work with .net and JSON).
The actual reason is that AirPods know how loud the audio they're playing is, which means it can be tracked, which means it can be used in a research study.

Not suggesting anything here but the tech to launch satellites is very similar to the tech used to launch ICBMs.
Without wishing to minimise the very real, very serious consequences of your blindness, your points sound familiar to somebody who suffers from severe anxiety.

People being overly protective makes things more confusing. Technology (including many medications), often don't really deal with the root cause, but some things do help (like talking therapy and some meds). Independence can be challenging, going outside can be challenging, going outside can be a deeply uncomfortable endeavour, and yet getting on with life is important and so we keep moving.

I'm sure blindness sucks in ways I can't easily empathise with as a sighted person, and so it's not anything close to a reasonable metaphor, but I feel I empathise with a sense of discomfort, anxiety and confusion. I never thought it would be the same. Thank you for sharing, and keep moving.
This is so weird, how is this legal? No other type of company just tacks on stuff to agreements and contracts and says “you want this” so how come US tech companies are always getting away with it?
Sure. Doesn't that make the US and UK responsible for the blowback against their direct interference?
Blood test yes, MRI - no. In the Ukraine I can go to the M24 center, and yes, 24 means it is literally working 24/7/365. And I don't need doctor's referral to do it. In EU I had to wait 2 months and have doctors referral, and that was lucky window I caught by chance. Other people report waiting much longer.

To get to the specialist doctors is also hard in EU, compared to the Ukraine. Here I had to wait between 1 to 3 months to a lot of specialists. And if any mistake in the referral is made, then wait need to be repeated.

Example - I got a referral for the retinal diag. But to do it 15 mins before the test eye drops are administered (atropine) to dilate pupils. Apparently I have needed to have two referrals - one for the drops, and another for the diag itself, and I got only the second one (made by an eye doctor in the same clinic, so regular staff). So I have waited months, and was denied the procedure, then a spend a week on a phone and visiting clinics in person to sort this out. Then I got proper referral (haha, actually not even then, they simply caved and allowed me to do it with what I had) and had to wait a month again to do a simple check which would take me a hour at any arbitrary day in Ukraine.
Well not intentionally engineered by the CIA, but definitely the result of their engineering. Much like the rise to power of our brave allies the Afghani mujahideen, and many others…
> Sorry, this just makes no sense to me. You have a threat model that thinks Apple is a malicious actor and will interfere with the implementation of DNS resolution in higher level APIs because they "nanny" their users and developers. But you equally think they won't bother to do such nannying at a the lower levels because they "barely pay attention to [those legacy APIs].

I don't think this is a crazy position at all. Higher level frameworks often do things a particular way, often in a way that benefits the company pushing.

I'm pretty sure there are examples of Microsoft doing some slightly dodgy things via the .NET framework or similar but leaving the base win322 APIs untouched.

> but surely you can see why other people find it a little inconsistent?

Not really. I think people are dismissing it before really considering it because they think it's a moot point because the OS vendor could do anything, but I explained in other comments why I think that's flawed reasoning and not really relevant.

I appreciate your reply though, thank you.
Front-end web development is changing quickly[video]
I can't answer your question, but on a meta level I would suggest to use "well established" instead, since that is less ambiguous about referring to scientists or other domain experts agreeing on something for various reasons.

"Well known" could also be intended to mean that something has become common knowledge among the general public, which I don't think applies here.
How could they measure it? It sounds kind of impossible to measure regardless of what data you collect.
You've edited your post to make it seem like this was what you said to begin with, but it wasn't
Every year we get some level of improvement to the phone. Year-to-year it might be relatively minor but it’s /always/ an improvement (less power usage, more cpu power, more GPU power, more ml power, etc). These, sometimes, small improvements add up so that if you upgrade every 2-4 years they can cumulatively add up to a big improvement.

People complain about Apple comparing the new iPhone (or MBP) to a 2-3 year ago model saying it’s just so they can say it’s 50%/100%/etc faster but for the vast majority of people that /is/ the model they are upgrading from. While us nerds might want to gauge the year-to-year gain the average consumer benefits more from it being compared to what they have (a 2-4 year old device).

This method also lets people upgrade whenever they want (“on ramps” every year) vs having to wait X years for the next release or having to replace a broken phone with a N-2 year version because new phones only come out ever few years.
