Ironic how this whole thing started with an allegation that WP Engine makes things confusing. I wonder if Matt's mom can tell the difference between WordPress Foundation and WordPress.org.

Wasn't that Twitter? You know, the site he actually used?
So what? You believe the world has gotten worse every year since the beginning of time? Or is it that all those older people throughout history have been wrong, but somehow it's you that's finally gotten it right?

> New standards for a faster and more private Internet

> Zstandard

I get "faster" but how does it make the internet "more private". The word "private" only shows up exactly once on that page, in the title.
The company spearheading AI is blatantly violating its non-profit charter in order to maximize profits. If the very stewards of AI are willing to be deceptive from the dawn of this new era, what hope can we possibly have that this world-changing technology will benefit humanity instead of funneling money and power to a select few few oligarchs?
This is why I keep my mechanic in business repairing my '07 Prius.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one left in the world who would rather the internet not eat me alive.
Fair that perhaps they (the director specifically) thought that (they look like something nobody would want to wear) about Crocs. Heck, I thought that back then, many did. So perhaps that's why Snopes is saying it's true.

But Crocs had actually become somewhat popular already before Idiocracy.

The more realistic full picture explanation being that they chose something that they or someone on their staff, like many "look at those idiots" types (myself at the time included), already knew and considered a stupid trend is much more likely. It doesn't at all negate that they in fact thought nobody with taste would wear those shoes, but I don't think that choice was entirely made in isolation not aware of the trend.

The effect of watching the movie and seeing Crocs worn was yet another of those pieces of evidence that the stupid people of today connect to that fictional future world, like all the other stuff on the movie dialed all the way to the top (energy drinks, corporate sponsorships, etc.)

The mere fact that someone knew of Crocs, thought of them, and chose them because of their ugliness, means they were popular/successful enough to pop up on someone's radar, despite them ostensibly not being something that would be worn by anyone. Perhaps they didn't know how much more popular Crocs would become but they for sure must have picked them as an artifact of things already going in a weird direction (Why can you get this? Who would want this? Someone must, these will be the stupid people of tomorrow.)

But also, actually, so what?

Look at some of the fashion of past decades older movies. Some of it is cool but a lot of it is super ridiculous.

And if you look at Crocs, are they really objectively stupid? Treating them as a high fashion item probably is. But they are versatile and robust, good for many types of use cases were people used to wear other types of cheap plastic sandals. People wearing leather shoes surely thought sneaker were stupid until they became so mainstream that they were evaluated more objectively.

Citing idiocracy and Crocs seems like a very weak argument to your case and even Idiocracy's point (fashion choices don't indicate the world is getting stupid). Mind you I'm not disagreeing that things have gotten worse in many ways and social media is definitely not helping. OTOH, Facebook actually was somewhat reasonable for a long time, and useful to connect with people. Only once the Twitterification of it started did it get so bad. But somehow Twitter never gets the bad reputation.
Maybe they can use their own AI to get out of paying it?

Apparrently it's a summit for people that don't already own their own platform.
Then you must find it very frustrating to actually receive legal advice, because it is often more complicated than that and there sometimes is no such clause!
They also talk about Encrypted Client Hello (ECH).
I believe that the "more private" part is referencing the "Encrypted Client Hello (ECH)" section in the later part of the post.
My local city's subreddit is just full of people sharing interesting things. It's the first thing I actually look forward to reading. I'm in a number of tech subreddits and personal hobby ones that are all just full of signal vs. noise/toxicity
But octopi is also trying to be pedantically latin, octopodes though it could be pedantic is at least correct, and entirely descriptive. In practice I wouldn't expect someone to say octopi to my face, but writing weird words online is another matter.

No. Crocks became popular after Idiocracy. Check the year they were shooting as it took them a few years to release it. Chat with Mike Judge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBu_RpKqCg8
There's "antipodes" though.
Does it mean ECH works only with the Cloudflare since their example ECH contains unencrypted outer layer client hello?
Maybe I'm just a lot more accustomed to seeing wires than sticks pointing out of people's ears, but I'd hardly be the first person to say they look dumb. It was a concern reviewers took into account (see for example https://mashable.com/article/apple-airpods-review) and people often say they look like Q-tips/antennae sticking out of people's heads (or worse https://screenrant.com/hilarious-apple-airpods-memes/)

Part of it is that they stick out way too far so you can see them when looking at someone directly. It's especially distracting in cases where they're sticking out in different directions.
That's fair but what if you could estimate the direction of incoming light with other sensors? Using inverse diffraction etc. Just a thought
I have a 2022 LGTV that asks for spooky permissions. One permission is is ad telemetry. I had it connected through a PiHole for ad blocking my network and noticed it contacting an ad-telemetry endpoint, even though I have that permission denied. I don't remember the name of the company, but they do AI recognition of imagery from your TV to determine ads.

It's also so easy to accept those permissions. Every time an update occurred, it would re-prompt to accept the permission. One false click and you're opt-in.

Which sucks, because if a guest or a kid is forced to go through that workflow, they may not know to decline the permissions.

Total dark pattern. Let me opt-out and then stop nagging me for the permission over and over.

Since then, the TV has been banned from the internet. Problem solved.
Org has the reputation of being complex. It has tons of features, but the basics are quite easy to master.

It's an outliner, i.e. text that can be organized using nested headlines and subheadlines. Text markup has all the usual features, plus links, footnotes and tables. Links can be customized to support new protocols, but out of the box they already, among other things, understand file paths, DOIs and, obviously, https. Coupled with footnotes, these provide a really simple and useful citation mechanism for a personal wiki. Tables are literally mini-spreadsheets, as they can compute formulas.

A second key aspect of Org are keywords and timestamps. Keywords let you mark things as TODO, DONE or any other user-defined state. Timestamps let you mark headlines as deadlines or scheduled events. Org then has agenda views, built dynamically by scanning files. Agenda views display calendars that show incoming deadlines, appointments or tasks.

I think the analogy best captures "some things are easy, some things are hard". For instance, if I were the stakeholder and this analogy was used to convince me that moving a web app that uses a database is hard, I would still wonder what you really mean (and I have lots of experience with Kubernetes). Probably better just to say what is actually hard instead of reaching for an analogy unless you just want to get past the stakeholder's "BS firewall" easily so you can get back to work. If that is your goal, absolutely use any persuasion tactic at your disposal. However, this scenario has a massive bug: the non-technical stakeholder didn't delegate decision making to someone that they can trust.

This is being fixed as electronic components are being switched to 48v. 12v hasn't been enough for a while. Lots less wires and control modules with 48v.
If those products and services are unrelated business income, they have to pay taxes on it: https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/unrelated-business...

What counts as “related” to the charity’s mission is fuzzy but in practice the courts have been rather strict. They don’t have to form for-profit subsidiaries to pay those taxes but it helps to derisk the parent because potential penalties include loss of nonprofit status.

For example, the nonprofit Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art has a for-profit subsidiary that operates the gift shop. National Geographic Society has National Geographic Partners which actually owns the TV channel and publishes the magazine. Harvard and Stanford have the Harvard Management Company and Stanford Management Company to manage their endowments respectively. The Smithsonian Institute has Smithsonian Enterprises. Mayo Clinic => Mayo Clinic Ventures. Even the state owned University of California regents have a bunch of for-profit subsidiaries.
This is by far the simplest solution. It’s easier to understand and setup than the other solutions mentioned. It simply encrypts the value portion of the variable so its safe to commit the entire env file. The only draw back is developers could still potentially commit private keys the repo or commit the decrypted env file. If you’re working with env variables that don’t require updates often it’s a decent solution.

OpenAI Global LLC is the $100b asset. It’s not being removed, the nonprofit will still own all the shares it owns now until it decides to sell.
The graphs here show "significant sharing of artists" as lines between nodes (bands at an average point in album releases). I like this, but I think it leaves a lot out of the overall story.

It's much, much harder to compile a dataset that captures the path of music _influence_ as a way to measure it's impact. Yet, I wonder if that would look at all different? Consider the impact that one Giorgio Moroder had on electronic music globally, both in terms of "Italo Disco" and more. He's clearly in the article's illustrations _somewhere_, but as a solo artist and producer, may have few if any connections (collaborations & credits) to other Italian groups.

Whatever. I don't have time to fight every logical fallacy you produce. I think I have explained it well, there is no need for me to bother with everyone who doesn't understand it.

In America? Barely. EVERYTHING can be called "puffery", which apparently makes it perfectly legal to make outright lies about your product, and if you instead merely pay someone who makes outright lies, apparently that's fine too if you didn't explicitly tell them to make those specific lies!

Event sourcing is usually something you'd have to implement yourself, it's "just" a pattern.

While Datomic et al gives you a bunch of useful features out-of-the-box.

Yes, you can build a query system that allows you to see data at specific points of time with event sourcing, but you likely have to implement that yourself. Compared to temporal databases where it's just (usually) a parameter you pass together with your query.

As I recall, the Luddites were reacting to the replacement of their jobs with industrialized low-cost labor. Today, many of our clothes are made in sweatshops using what amounts to child and slave labor.

Maybe it would have been better for humanity if the Luddites won.
It's not just waiting - have we already forgotten about the not-hypothetical supply chain disaster 4 years ago?
The problem I have with this is simple and has to do with the lack of separation of entities.

Automattic is a competitor with WPEngine.
Wordpress.com is a competitor with WPEngine.
Wordpress.org and the Wordpress Foundation IS NOT a competitor with WPEngine.

There is a dispute between Automattic and WPEngine. The resources of Wordpress.org and the Wordpress Foundation should not be leverage in this dispute.

The fact that those boundaries are crossed means that anyone who is in competition with Automattic might have any and all ecosystems that Matt has any control over leveraged against them if they upset Matt or Automattic in any way.

It is very poor taste and changes the perspective of the product. Instead of a professional entity who will engage professionally it is now a form of leverage that a single person could wield against anyone who crosses them.

To be clear these same exact actions can be taken against anyone who insults one individual. This look is embarrassing.
> We have a term for that, it's called "luddite".

No, that's apples-to-oranges. The goals and complaints of Luddites largely concerned "who profits", the use of bargaining power (sometimes illicit), and economic arrangements in general.

They were not opposing the mechanization by claiming that machines were defective or were creating textiles which had inherent risks to the wearers.
At a minimum it should use typescript, no? Also web pages get out of sync sometimes, and need to be reloaded, which doesn’t sound great for mission critical reliability. Compiled, typed UI lib sounds like a better fit.

You edited your first posted verbiage which contained the word "perception" and this is the only reason I logged in to respond.

Anything worth doing takes considerable time and the personal pressures imposed by society in this day and age are significantly impacting to everyone given our 'now' world that is being incorrectly perceived holistically as 'instant'. For those entrepreneurs that are long game investing their time in "hard problems" I encourage all those toiling to avoid the hype. The strongest word in the English language is 'no' so do not be afraid to use it to defend your time in building.

That’s funny because studies also show that judgment and reasoning become impaired during long shifts.
Am i the only one in favor of capital punishment in this thread?

My mom used to work at state hospital for the criminally insane. The stories she would tell me about how these people got in there were absolutely brutal. (Canabalism, satanic sacrafices of loved ones, all manor of wierd shit.).

Instead of executing these lunatics, they send them to a "State Hospital" for rehabilitation. It's not a Prison, but a hospital so the conditions are great for the guy who ate his mom. So much so that some of the gang members claim 51/51 and say craay shit to the jury to get sent to a state hospital instead of prison.

The U.S. spends approximately $75 billion per year on incarcerating prisoners... You could build a city, every year for that amount.

Someone who commits capital murder, admits to it, does 30 years in prison. You have robbed them off all life. They aren't rehabilitated, they are just a hardened prison inmate with no chance to make it back in the real world so their only option alot of the time is to do what you've taught them in prison on release. Steal, lie, cheat and do anything you can to try and stay alive. So, it would cost approximately $2.43 million to imprison one person in California for 30 years. (California costs around ~81k per year per prisoner).

Death seems to be so feared nowadays to the point where they can justify taking away any sense of freedom, rights and soverignty and put you in a small cage for 30 years, but yet the death penalty is to far? If i ever get falsely accused of a crime that would send me to jail for life i would beg for the death penalty.
Telegram has tweaked its policies to be able to share more data with governments
But a shredder doesn't actually destroy information.

Back to the original discussion, though: Time and again I'm fascinated by the fact that it's the quantum mechanics community that believes in unitarity / information being preserved so strongly. After all, the collapse of the wave function violates unitarity, too.
That was my thought as well.

I think what I said holds true independent of increasing housing supply, which I also support. A functional market would find a labor price where necessary workers can afford the housing price, or face going without their labor.

I think the current approach is counter productive because it tries to bypass this with policy solutions that mean workers keep making unsustainable wages, but are subsidized in several other ways with poor implementation.

>Anyway we're talking people here.... The only way unit price goes down is if their own costs go down e.g. education loans drop or disappear.

Im not sure what you are saying here.

I dont think the costs to become a teacher are the bottleneck. Cost of living is the financial bottle neck, and the misery of working in a dysfunctional school districts is the emotional bottle neck.

I know several former teachers in SF. You can afford to be a teacher in SF if you have rent control, but not if you dont. Some left for jobs that pay even worse because the conditions were so bad (broken bones from students, incompetent administrators, hostile parents, ect)
Show HN: Getgud.io – Server-Side cheater and griefer detection in Real-Time
Hi HN!

I'm excited to share Getgud.io – we use AI to detect cheaters and griefers in real-time, helping game developers make their games toxic-free and improve player retention.

What Getgud.io does:

- Real-Time Cheater & Griefer Detection: Our AI analyzes in-match player behavior to identify and flag cheaters using aimbots, wallhacks, speed hacks, and more. It also detects toxic behaviors like team killing, spawn killing, boosting, and surfing.

- Complete Observability: Get insights into everything happening in your game matches, including weapons used, maps played, character stats, and player actions.

- Automated Actions & Alerts: Define rules and actions for any player behavior. Automatically ban cheaters, adjust player reputations, or receive notifications based on criteria you set.

- Game Analytics: Understand player behavior with analytics on weapon/character popularity, map trends, loot drop optimization, and match balance.

- Match Recording & Replay: All matches are recorded and visualized, allowing you to replay and analyze any game to see exactly what happened.

- Easy Integration: Our solution is entirely server-side with no client-side code needed. We offer integrations for Unity and Unreal Engine 5 as well as SDKs in multiple languages (C++, C#, C, Python). We support all FPS and MOBA games across all platforms, including web, mobile, and console.

Why we built it:

As gamers, we know how challenging it is to keep games fair and enjoyable. Cheating and toxic behavior ruin the player experience and hurt player retention and the game's reputation. We wanted to create a tool that empowers developers to maintain a healthy gaming environment effortlessly.

Get started:

- Learn more about Getgud.io: https://www.getgud.io/

- Detailed integration guides and SDK documentation are available on our GitHub: https://github.com/getgud-io/getgud-docs

- Some detection videos: https://www.youtube.com/@getgud_io

We'd love your feedback!

- Feel free to ask any questions or share your thoughts. Your feedback is incredibly valuable as we continue to improve Getgud.io.

- Looking forward to making games better together! Stop cheating, Getgud!

If you're referring to not choosing to eat meat, I sort of doubt future generations will 'loathe' you - just as I don't 'loathe' members of previous generations who did things we've since learned better about.
Skeptics require proof before belief. That is not mutually exclusive from having hypotheses (AKA vision).

I think you raise some interesting concerns in your last paragraph.

> enormous amount of societal responsibility this puts on AI makers — which I, as a voter, will absolutely hold them accountable for

I'm unsure of what mechanism voters have to hold private companies accountable. Fir example, whenever YouTube uses my location without me ever consenting to it - where is the vote to hold them accountable? Or when Facebook facilitates micro targeting of disinformation - where is the vote? Same for anything AI. I believe any legislative proposals (with input from large companies) is very likely more to create a walled garden than to actually reduce harm.

I suppose no need to respond, my main point is I don't think there is any accountability thru the ballot when it comes to AI and most things high-tech.

Explain to me how the US government spends twice as much as any other country on healthcare and you claim the corporations are _more_ in charge? There are entire industries in healthcare that would disappear if the government stopped giving them money. Control via funding is far more impactful than control via laws. Companies can bend laws, they cannot survive without cash flow.
