Not only is this baseless cynicism as another comment said (and, hey, I'm one hell of a cynic), but it also makes wild assumptions, based on absolutely nothing, about how the father would've handled the situation had he won.

That's not really an A/B scenario, there are a variety of outcomes there.
Why? What exactly have we got for the (how many hundred) billions of dollars poured into GPUs running transformers over the past 6 years?
They don't. cups-browsed is a legacy component that isn't needed on ordinary systems, which outsource printer discovery to an mDNS service such as avahi.
This is spoken by someone who doesn't know about the huge volume of mediocre work output by art students and hobbyists. Much of it is technically decent (like AI work), but lacking in meaning, impact, and emotional resonance (like AI work). You could find millions of hand drawn portraits of Keauna Reeves on Reddit before AI ever existed.
There was some cool stuff there back when but i think that brand has been milked as dry as it could be hasn't it? I was kinda watching and I still didn't catch what exactly happened there. Some Boom to Bust tonker stomp that was wrapped up with RatShack going away i thought.

Still got a couple of the "Make" branded radio shack robot kits i grabbed from the sellout. they were too expensive even then but i couldn't resist. Most of the plastics turned out to be excellent growth media for mold, alas.
As a libertarian myself, I've come to the conclusion that anything addictive is not really consensual, because addiction can't be controlled. Thus, selling or providing addictive stuff violates consent of the buyer, and should either be illegal, or have high taxes. Maybe there should be different laws to those who are already addicted and those who are not. Drugs which are not addictive, should be legal, but have all the information about their negative effects on the label.

Imo this should apply to addictive apps as well. The damage here is mostly the time that is wasted.
Your irony is poisonous.

Not only is the OP comment completely valid, it has both legal, historical, and contextual significance, unlike your comment.

Cash-equivalent monetary commodities are, by literal definition, illegal to create, trade, receive, pay taxes, or entice/offer/force employees to accept, without the explicit permission from congress through the US Mint - an authorized office of the Treasury, or a licence as a credible/reputable broker, brokerage, or investment firm through the Security and Exchange Commission.

If someone owes you for a debt that has been incurred - public or private, you must accept United States Dollars.

An executive order can, has, had, and will almost certainly be passed again, imminently seizing any cache of "valued currency" - regardless of its medium.

An EO isn't even needed - so far, the legal coverage of "sactions" has allowed the US to help shape the narrative in the interest of the security of the economy/nation by not allowing an unbacked, un-correctable fiat challenge the stability of the nations currency.

I quite like the thing personally.
Most likely my tone, but I'm frustrated because I don't even understand how this is a conversation.

If any one of us was hosting a FREE service and some corporation came around and hit us with hundreds of thousands of requests, we too would demand money or ban them. Any one of us. So I really, truly, don't understand why we're all sitting here having this conversation.
The major part of this post is about documentation, and would have benefitted greatly from reference to the 4doc model: https://docs.divio.com/documentation-system/

It's basically saying: don't just provide a reference, provide how-tos as well, and lead with them because they're the part of the total documentation which users generally want to see first. Generally, mind you, I tend to go straight to the reference material but not always.

Not that 4doc is a silver bullet or a law of nature, Hillel Wayne has some good things to say about that here https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/problems-with-the-4doc-mode...

Pretty much every legal expert I've seen thinks the targeting of the attack is perfectly legal. The primary legal issues will be whether or not it legally constitutes a "booby trap", which may be illegal.

IMO, it's a categorical error to say that putting an explosive in a secure pager purchased in bulk order by an internationally recognized terrorist militia is equivalent to rigging a door to explode when anyone (no matter who) opens it. Yes, the actual wording of the law doesn't do a great job of delineating the two situations, but let's not pretend there's not a difference.

When the law was written, the distinction between "civilian use" and "military use" was far far more clear than it is today. Militaries around the world use off the shelf commercial equipment today. A "commercial radio issued to military personnel" doesn't feel like it should be given a pass as being "civilian" because the type of object it is can be purchased by anyone. In practice it was specifically handed out as a military-use item to members of a military organization.

Rosetta Code has examples of DBLs in Tcl and Tcl::OO.
Of course, but I think it's worth seriously evaluating the subset of those activities that have an especially large propensity for harm.

That's generally what sets terrorism apart from "regular" crime. Of course, if you're a civilian anywhere near one of these pager-bombs when were triggered it's going to have the same effect.
This seems like a pretty big deal.

I want to like CloudFlare over DO/AWS. I like their DevX focus too -- I could see issues if devs can't get into the abstractions though.

Any red flags folks would stake regarding CF? I know they are widely used but not sure where the gotchas are.
>* However the both act in the brain the same way and both lead to bad ends to the vast majority.*

This is a poor justification for making something illegal. Chocolate and cocaine operate on the same neural pathways, but one is clearly more detrimental than the other. Following this reasoning, we should ban chocolate, and being able to see comment scores on hacker news, and like counts on Instagram photos, and reach on Twitter, and retirement account balances because they produce the same effects in the brain as illegal drugs do.
Actually people did expect that, which is why the market does not accurately "price things in." People working in ML, Cuda, ~GPT2 were pretty confident in the eventual impact of AI and knew of Nvidia's monopoly on it.

There's a sort of midwit meme here where the naive take "oh this company is going to sell more next year, i should by stock at whatever price", -> "no, everything's already priced in" -> "if everything was priced in, you'd see a historic price graph as a straight line with a slope of interest rates"
The purpose? To remember that what we have was given to us. To be grateful we were given the gift of life. To be grateful that it was given with intention and not randomly.

The result? I definitely find it's helpful navigating the ups and downs in life. Like any other skill, if you practice gratitude you can be grateful even when you've had a significant loss, and it really helps you pull through that. Vice versa you can remain humble through significant improvements in life.

I really could care less about some corporation's security. If some company being cheap enough to use my software without compensation or testing has it open their systems to people without proper corporate authorization, I see that as a plus. I release software as is, and if they want to try to get blood from a stone and sue me any how, so be it.

I requested an invite from a guy I have only known via Reddit, we've never met IRL.
In related news, almost everything you can find through a Google search is unmitigated crap. Finding it on Google is an indictment of the quality. Back in the day, something like Wikipedia was what people dreamed the Internet would be. How naive of us.

I half expect to start seeing new incarnations of things like Prodigy or Compuserve spin up, aiming to provide an Internet-within-Internet type of experience. Without advertising, purely pay-to-play. Sure, a lot of regular people will never pay for such a thing, but I bet there are enough of us that will pay for good quality content (and shielding from crap) that it could be viable. Maybe the 'net gets balkanized and the 'free' part left as a wasteland.

(or maybe I'm just a grumpy old man and I should go get a cup of coffee and quit my bitching)
Even in Europe's religious past, gambling was tolerated. The prohibitions on gambling are uniquely american. In general, America is very puritanical about a wealth of topics (and not just socially conservative ones), which is -- in my opinion -- a result of the descendants of the puritans losing their religion but not their genetic predisposition towards fanaticism.
It's a major source of confusion for people that are new to Wordpress, and I suspect it generates quite a bit of extra money for Wordpress.com.
I can't speak for every local but the "local paper" where I live is effectively the RSS feeds of the local CBS & NBC news stations' websites and the reporting is actually quite good, or at least, it's a LOT better than receiving no local reporting.

The actual local paper is as you describe. I don't understand why local TV has weathered the digital transition better, exactly, but I find that I get a LOT of the local coverage that I want this way and I'm eager to recommend this to strategy to others (as you can see)

I really doubt it. Bitcoin mining is quite fixed, just massive amounts of SHA256. On the other hand, ASICs for accelerating matrix/tensor math are already around. LLM architecture is far from fixed and currently being figured out. I don't see an ASIC any time soon unless someone REALLY wants to put a specific model on a phone or something.
Though, of course, it's all clickbait because that's the whole point. But there's something enlightening I read in the leaked MrBeast on-boarding PDF (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41549649) when it talks about the viewer drop-off at the start of the video there's a mention about not "match[ing] the expectations of the clickbait". (It is easy to find because there's only one instance of "clickbait" in the document.)

I wonder about the practical reason this occurs but I suspect the reality for a given individual could range from being an impatient reader to encountering a poorly-written article. I also wonder how the perception would differ (not trying to start a debate, just noting a thought) if the title here included the "Why" from the title there since, at least in this case, the article does a decent job of answering the question: they don't want to appear as spies.
You’re omitting how much influence / censorship our government have over these institutions now, and how much they apply pressure to prevent dissenting voices and opinions from reaching the main stream.

Raft has a problem where, in the protocol description, sometimes I have no idea why some line is there, but if you take it out the protocol comes to a grinding halt... it's really a mumble jumble. It has good intuition, but the details are really messy, it's edge cases all the way down.

Whereas I think each line of pseudocode in Paxos is much more motivated.

In other words, if a philosopher had to design a crash-fault protocol from scratch, without having seen any before, I think 80% of the time it would look exactly like Paxos.
My concern here is i think we substitute (brain) exercise with mundane (brain) sugars like Social Media, Youtube, infinite scrolls, etc. Removing those is good, but you have to put something back in their place, lest you lose the muscle entirely.

Cognitive use is linked (i believe?) to holding off various aging diseases, so ensuring you're using what you don't want to lose seems to be the most important thing. Exercise for all things.

How do you approach brain exercise?
The tax stuff is total bullshit. If it wasn’t the schools in Las Vegas would be the best in the country and the teachers there would be the best paid. They aren’t by a long shot.

Meta put their customers at risk through negligent actions. A fine in the range you propose would be lower than any investment required to improve security (e.g. by hiring a single additional person). What company in their right mind would do anything to improve security in that case?
Thanks for the kind words about the book!

I think indifference is very different than hostility. That there's only limited time, resources, and interest and those must be balanced and that means some projects advance before others is a very different thing than a refusal to do something.
Thanks for the context. That's must be what I was missing
There isn't any "victims" here? If a beggar asks someone for money, is the person the beggar asks a "victim"?

Not sure how much strength is required to have when a AWS employee asks for a feature in your issue tracker and you either ignore them, or just say "Nope".

> What? what do you call companies who only come to a project to ask for features requests and then take that feature and disappear?

They can ask for features all night long if they want to, if there is no interest from maintainers to implement something, then it won't happen. The company can fork the repository if they want, and that wouldn't be wrong.

Assuming that big/profitable users of FOSS libraries are required to contribute back (with time or money) just muddles the waters further, as no one is required to do anything, as a producer of code or consumer.

> But.. no one is complaining that they simply used some open source code that was published online. Why do you make up ridiculous arguments by yourself and then proceed to mock them? I'd understand if you misinterpreted my point but are you really oblivious to the struggles of open source maintainers? Or you're just downplaying it?

You and others seem to constantly misrepresent what FOSS explicitly means, and start involving some implicit rules about what FOSS means and should be, like you have to build a community, or you have to accept patches from others, or you have to reply to feature requests. None of those things are required, and it hurts the community further by pretending those things are needed to call a piece of code FOSS.

For headless browsers, the latency benefits of “container anywhere” seems high. For things like AI inference, running on the edge seems way less beneficial than running on the cheapest location possible which would be larger regional data centers.
Yes, it is a dumb idea.
This is wonderful. Can I ask how you created it? Stack used and sour e code? I'd love to create something like this to help visualize things I'm working with currently.
> If the underlying activity is a crime, we already have laws to deal with that

This is like complaining about DUIs being illegal because we already have laws banning manslaughter.

> Why is any attempt at financial privacy deemed money laundering?

It's not. Layering per se isn't illegal. It's suspicious but legal, in the same category as carting a semi-automatic into a grocery store in an open-carry state.

> Why does making any tool that help law abiding citizens have financial privacy, also guilty of money laundering?

It doesn't. Practically every prosecution of money-laundering services included evidence of knowledge by the operator that their customers included people committing crimes.
What if I were to tell you Nvidia's monopoly and the implications of AI were obvious many years ago? Many people on HN bought large amounts of Nvidia stock a while ago. Karpathy's "Software 2.0" was widely read here predating much of Nvidia's market cap increase:

Arguing that news outlets have a bias does not mean they are 100% biased. You will find examples of articles and segments against Harris on CNN, you will also find articles and segments against Trump on Fox News. It isn't the norm though.

The most telling for me is generally the photos picked by a news outlet. On CNN for example, photos of Harris (and Biden) are almost always picked to show them in a favorable light. They'll be shot standing at a podium with an American flag behind them and a big, natural looking smile on their face. Photos of Trump are from off angles with an angry look on his face, often taken mid speech where a face will look more contorted than when smiling.

Are news outlets 100% biased mouthpieces pieces? Of course not. But they have a strong bias towards one party or the other and they don't try very hard to hide it.

Again, you're mixing things up and moving goalposts. I wasn't trying to make a case for what money laundering is, only what (as I understand it) it definitely isn't. The example you cite clearly covered up underlying criminal activity, whereas the claim was that you can be guilty of money laundering without any illegal underlying crime. Hence it fails to support the premise. That is all.

I don't think I agree with that.

The first 1GB consumer drives came out in like 1993. I remember having a several GB (I think a little over 4GB?) hard drive on a home computer sold with Windows 95. DVD wouldn't come out for about another two years in the US and wouldn't have been widely used until at least 1998+. My 1998 desktop had something like 11GB of space. DVD burners and players wouldn't really be very affordable until about the 2000s. VHS was definitely still widely used for several years after multi-GB hard drives were common in the consumer market.

Even then, in the late 90s flash media was horrifically expensive. I seem to recall my family buying a 16MB Smartmedia card in the late 90s (massive for the time) for ~$150 or so on sale. You'd be storing a few minutes of highly compressed video on a card like that compared to the several hours of video you could put on a VHS tape. Direct-to-DVD camcorders wouldn't be a thing until the 2000s at which point 40+GB hard drives were starting to become common and flash cards were starting to get to several dozen MBs at least for ~$100 or so.
Many many years ago, I dreamed about moving from engineering into a management position. I was getting baited for a long time that "I had potential, if I do X and Y, maybe next year, yada yada", but it never actually happened - maybe I didn't try hard enough, or it was one of these things someone tells you to give you something to look for, but they never happen - whatever.

Anyway, few years passed, I changed jobs a few times, and one day I realized I actually just wanted to be compensated fairly, without my employer taking a large cut (my hourly rate in the beginning used to be way higher than what customers were billed for my work, so I knew it was attainable). Or, to not have to go above and beyond because my employer came up with "great" ideas that crept up into overtime territory "if I wanted to make it". Getting promoted was just a workaround for the actual goal, but it would increase my responsibilities a lot, and I never considered myself as someone made for management position (despite promising feedback). I'm glad it turned out this way.

So, the surprise was that I hit the goal, but realized it was something else all along (or I'm just coping).
For the record, Wordpress is GPL, and IANAL, but as far as I know, any modifications you make to the core must be released back (on request in the very least). That's why almost every Wordpress theme, including commercial themeforest themes don't stop you from releasing the source code if someone requests for it. So, this is not Automattic having to release out of moral high ground, but rather due to the GPL licensing they chose to use for Wordpress. So my point is, if this whole fiasco was in the spirit of open source, then this should have started with Automattic releasing their entire codebase surrounding their platform and not just pick their competitor and harass them.
Every time I watch SportsCenter and hear the word “parlay” I vomit a little.

That depends on when Meta stops. The longer Meta keeps releasing free models, the more capabilities are made permanently unprofitable. For example, Llama 3.1 is already good enough for translation or as a writing assistant.

If Meta stopped now, there would still be profit in the market, but if they keep releasing Llamas for the next 5+ years then OpenAI et al will be fighting for scraps. Not everybody needs a model that can prove theorems.
Can’t you let the market decide though? Sometimes automated moderation only has to be “good enough”. It’s probably best to err on the side of caution and be pretty aggressive with bans/deletion of posts. If commenters don’t like the degree of that they can complain and have it revised if overly aggressive or simply move on. You are much more likely to weed out the trolls that way than lose “the best commenters”.
> If you make any action which has the effect of obscuring evidence of crime, regardless of mens rea, into a crime, you will end up prosecuting innocent people

Sure. This isn't how aML law works. Money laundering is specifically disguising the proceeds of illicit activity. If there is no illicit activity, it's not money laundering and it isn't illegal. Using a mixer or running your life exclusively on cash is not illegal.
I have a theory that in cases like this the pedophilia is more of a symptom of his living conditions. If the guy got cleaned up, made some real life fiends, and even started actually dating it would fade into the background.

Not in the UK - there is a crime of handling stolen goods - where you can be asked to prove the steps you took to ensure they aren't stolen, or risk forfiting the good and the money you made selling them. Hence why KYC is so important for pawn shops etc. here.
