>You would rarely find any other nation that where defense tech companies are turned away from job fairs. Kinda ridiculous.

Probably because US MIC is weird political place. On one hand, it's turns out really cool tech and US needs defense. On other hand, who are we defending from and why are spending all this money on world police when we have a ton of internal problems? Throw in some pork barrel in there to add to political stuff.

When people post memes about "You are about to find out why US doesn't have free healthcare." with some overwhelming American firepower equipment in the image, it's not hard to see why a lot of people find it a grey area.
>and no other OS can predictably wake the laptop when opening the lid and not wake it when it's closed

You can do it in Linux with scripts. I had it on my old laptop when I had Manjaro on it. Basically disable any action on script close, then write a custom service that listens for an event and puts the computer to sleep. Only thing is you have to press the power button to wake it, but it worked well.

In general, I have been using work issues Macs, and I tend to agree - they are pure shit. I wouldn't even call them good hardware. People seem to forget how mac thought it was a good idea to make the esc button a virtual one on the touchbar. I had 3 work replacements, first one fried chip due to an "incompatible" usbc hub, the other 2 started swelling batteries. In every single case, I ended up losing a small amount of work I haven't backed up (like a shell script), since you can't replace the hard drives.

Currently on the latest iteration of MBP 14 inch, the hardware seems good so far. Battery life claims are overrated - with slack, bunch of browser tabs and VSCode I get max 4 hours, but to be fair, this is the lightest laptop that Ive had that can do that (I used to have a much larger Thinkpad that could do CAD for 4 hours on battery)

I want this "click-to-cancel" rule for any form of subscription. Everybody tries to bill you into oblivion. You must be insane if you don't use virtual credit card numbers today. I am apartment hunting right now. Most apartments don't exist and some Nigerian scammers try to make you request a "credit report" that is basically a subscription service and really difficult to cancel.
Got it, thank you.

But everyone is still able to publish their blogs, on both WordPress and WPEngine?

And both WordPress and WPEngine are able to fork each other's code and run separate platforms?

So long term fragmentation is the main danger?

Am I completely off the mark?
You'd think "clout" would matter less to a community of tech, especially on a place dedicated to communities (hopefully) bettering the tech we use. But alas, people doing this probably don't think much farther than 15 minutes.
It's possible for those concerned with this to overcome it! Most people are way more focused on themselves than whatever a random person is wearing in public, and will likely forget the encounter the second they set foot off the plane.

> It's great that they translated the UI in that language!

Bit offtopic but since you nudged it:

The oldest Polish localization of MacOS was done by a private company that insisted on using more "appropriate linguistically" terms that have roots in the 70s Polish IT. Tho, some people claimed it was just an attempt to separate Apple's system from Microsoft's even more dramatically. And for example instead of "icon" - "ikona" that translation introduced "stamp - "znaczek"; "edit" menu item - "edycja" (sometimes "edytuj", depending on program) was "change" - "zmiana", "folder" that stayed as it is become "teczka", "briefcase". The most prominent example is the "cancel" translation, which elsewhere become "anuluj" but the team opted for "abandon", "cease" - "poniechaj", tho some argue it should be "desist" - "zaniechaj".

The first official Leopard translation followed let's say, the 'industry standard', tho "desktop" still is being called there "biurko" while Linux and Windows uses term "pulpit" which is more close to "dashboard".

The discourse that happen around "cancel" translation is still bring up on few occasions, as an example of trying to preserve origins of that old IT glossary and also of being nonconformistic to the ridiculous levels for some weird personal reasons.

Echoes of that translation can be seen in the Polish KDE localization - there's one contributor who insists for using these rather obscure and weird terms: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404286 and since there's no official community nor team (to my knowledge), that translation gets approved and makes KDE looking weird for someone coming from Windows
Fine, but it is notable / extremely notable that there is only one large cap more expensive than Palantir on a PE basis. I'm not splitting hairs here, I'm talking about extreme outliers.

> Nearly all the combined work of humanity has been "lost to time," and society seems pretty okay with that.

Pre-digital age, preserving the combined work of humanity was actually quite difficult. The cost to preserve everything outside of "obviously important" artifacts would've been preventative (or even impossible) for society as a whole.

I believe many (if not most) folks native to the digital age believe that digital artifacts should be preserved indefinitely by default - as the cost in doing so is comparatively trivial - and laws in democratic nations will catch up to that.
Given enough iteration with the same incentives, two engineering teams might end up with the same sort of product overall. We see this with airframes. We established the prototypical airframe for the commercial airliner in the 1950s and haven't changed it in 70 years since. This is good for the airline but bad for the aircraft manufacturer. The airline can now choose between boeing or airbus or anyone else for their product. If boeing had some novel plane design that wasn't copied the world over, then the airline company would be beholden to them alone.
Aren't you introducing a bias by having upvotes? Why do you need upvotes for this kind of listing? The number of people clicking is a bad metric imo, you're rewarding people who can organize getting votes. Other kinds of categorization would be more interesting. I'd like to see this kind of site without the popularity metric being forefront.
ARM cores can be used with UEFI and other hardware autodiscovery mechanisms. Not a limitation of the instruction set but rather the willingness of vendors to do the work. Many ARM servers have UEFI implemented.
The movie is fantastic, but obviously made to be rewatched. It's a Shakespearean play in its format, dialogue, and style through and through, this is a love letter to the first major theatres, both of Shakesphere and of Rome itself.

There are several moments where the film plays with the concept of time, in that there are moments in the first watch that are so obvious to being linear, that on rewatch are painfully obvious to be flashbacks, you have to know the ending, the end game, to really appreciate the rest of it. There are so many "throw away" scenes and lines that seem so out of place, that become incredibly important and poignant for the story to make sense. Some of the scenes are purposefully flipped, so that on rewatch it makes more sense.

Is it a great movie? No. Is it a fantastic and fascinating experience? Yes.

--

Aside, since it helped a friend 'frame' the film in terms of locale and world: The United States is not in North America, it's in Italy, it's what would have happened if instead of America being founded in NA, it was a revival of the Roman Empire (as America was founded on hyperfixations of the empire). The thirteen colonies were thirteen city states that banded together, the addition of additional states are the surrounding areas for a new roman empire, New Rome is what New York would have been... if it was in Italy. Hope that helps understand the weird political and philosophy in juxtaposition to the modern era and old.
OK, so my non-profit with a budget of about $200,000 a year is now expected to lawyer up and take on this risk, where some random company can just sidle up to us, sue us for X, and automatically win because we cannot possibly afford a lawyer to even respond to their litigation?

I love how utterly diconnected from reality HN comments are. Y'all seem to think that just because you can rationalize something on paper that we should all just go out and do the thing because the laws are "Stupid." If the world ran like HN thought it did, we'd have no copyright laws, no patents, and infinite free legal advice and services. Yeah, yer right, maybe we could get a sympathetic judge or get the case tossed. After we spend $100,000 on lawyers to get there. Oh, the prosecution would have to pay our legal fees you say? Great, now I'm out $100,000 waiting on the appeal, and it could take years for them to pay up. That's like giving them a $100,000 loan with 0 interest and no defined closing date.

And what's even the upside? I ruined my non-profit so I could spuriously open source some random crap I don't even want to preserve. I have the binaries already, I don't need to recompile. But hey, no one is using this stuff right? Fuck the law!

The world does not work this way. If a lawyer shows up and wants to kill a small non-profit, they can do it in a day, very easily. They don't even need the courts, they just have to sue you and then bomb you with 50,000 pages of evidence. This is a REAL tactic. How do you counter that without paying a lawyer to look at all 50,000 pages? The key is to not give them a reason to do so. You know, by not breaking the fucking law.

“Accuracy” is too vague. You want to find out what the sensitivity and specificity are.

https://ebn.bmj.com/content/23/1/2

For instance, a rapid covid test might have low sensitivity but high specificity. Meaning if it’s negative, you could still have the disease. But if it’s positive, you’re almost certainly sick. Ie the false negative rate is a lot higher than the false positive rate.

It's only a few hours after the initial release, it references the release, it doesn't add much more to the release. So share it over there, where the discussion is happening. Could have a whole thread in there about this article if you want. Otherwise we'll have two discussions on the same topic with everyone repeating themselves? The news story in this case is the release, which was posted earlier, and is being discussed. Hence "more discussion on official release". Why are you forcing me to see 10 posts on the same topic? (as this probably won't be the first dupe submission)

Reposts happen, but weeks/months later perhaps, not hours. Not trying to limit the discussion but keep it in the same place, to avoid the duplicate post and threads.
> The work part though? I had the same feeling as with the iPad early on. I need a keyboard and a mouse to be productive.

Both my iPad Pro and my Vision Pro have a keyboard and trackpad:

- The iPad Pro of course uses the excellent Magic Keyboard.

- The Vision Pro uses an Apple keyboard w/o numpad side by side with the Magic Trackpad, in a custom tray to hold both. (Make sure that your carryon's front pocket can hold the full tray.)

For sure if I thought I could only do work on a MacBook not an iPad Pro (what most people seem to think, insisting iPad is a consumption device), then I definitely couldn't work on a Vision Pro.

But once you've figured out how to code (e.g. VSCode using blink code, or Koder, Working Copy, Textastic, etc.), do graphic design (e.g. Affinity suite), or run Office on an iPad (Teams, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel), the Vision Pro does those too but with "all the app windows at once" (ofc, iPad Pro 13" makes excellent use of Stage Manager for window groups).

All that said, I haven't felt a burden to pull AVP out on the plane.

iPad Pro 13" HDR with AirPods Pro USB-C using Spatial Audio that anchors to your iPad screen seem more than enough. Especially since you can share audio with a seat mate who also has AirPods, and both watch the same movie together.

Not often talked about: for doing real work, do consider a fresh glasses prescription and the Zeiss add-ins. To keep windows rectangular instead of trapezoid, insist you're under 40 regardless of your age, otherwise Zeiss do a stealth "progressive" that warps window sizes.
The Kindle is one of the best things Amazon ever did. They made subsidized ereaders and made them cheap. Ofcourse they did it to promote their store but they've never blocked side loading.
I'm sure there are plenty of people who say no to working on improving Facebook engagement, DoubleClick etc. for that reason! As opposed, to, say, something like the calming algorithm YouTube uses with its comments.

(Also, there are plenty of reasons why the American defense industry is both quanitatively and qualitatively different from those of other nations, e.g. France, Sweden – i.e. its disproportionate involvement with arms sales, its involvement with defense boondoggles and the opportunity cost, etc. Regardless of the grays, when the system is black, entire countries are painted black.)

Krita is a painting application. Graphite is a vector editing application. There is currently no overlap between the two apps. We intend to eventually build a painting application workflow, but that isn't something we're focused on yet and we'll likely prioritize other area first because Krita is a competent tool for painting already, which digital artist should use for that workflow until we someday have the time to build something even better.
I think they clarified it more recently, because the FTC is taking a separate action against them on this specific issue. I doubt there would have been much of an issue if it had been that clear in the first place.

In fact it's almost impossible to get a price estimate up front in many cases. A procedure may involve multiple codes which may or may not be covered by your insurance, and the only way to find out if they are covered is to have the procedure and then check the bill. Frequently you won't even get the codes up front. If you call they can't even say if a particular procedure will be covered or not, the call centers are just not set up to do that. There is incredible complexity as the procedure may or may not be covered depending on patient, provider, plan, how much they've spent this year, region, if the doctor's front office made a clerical error at any point, if the insurance company made a clerical error, if the claim is processed on a Wednesday vs. a Friday, etc... If you have a procedure done twice the coverage may be totally different on the second time, with some parts covered that were previously not covered and vice versa.

Thankfully you can often get denials reversed after the fact by calling and complaining, but that takes an hour and is another roll of the dice. The only people who like the US system are wall street people who own stock in the companies.
We gotta stop giving SCOTUS credit for bad decisions when they make unpopular opinions. SCOTUS is not supposed to make legislation, and if they are going to try and override Chevron from the bench without legislation, then we have to ignore them.

SCOTUS' power/respect only goes as far as they're actually listening to the will of Americans. This is not representing Americans if they override. Same for abortion (just legality not anything about enforcement), same for presidential immunity.

We have expectations, and they do not align with SCOTUS, so SCOTUS is not a valid interpretive institution. "The Supreme Court has made their decision, let's see them enforce it."
Seconded. It has also ebbed and flowed. about 3 months ago it was simply awful. It's gotten a lot better recently but nowhere near good enough that I'll just trust it.

>Who cares

Other license holders who would at best DMCA Github and take it down anyway. And at worst sue WinAnp for infringement? This is really bad for them. But if you only care about getting to use a decent product, I guess you don't have to care.

This stuff makes FOSS look bad tho. And would only discourage others from trying to make their source available. So I and others care when thinking of the forest instead of the beautiful tree.
It's just as easy to have thin wrappers over C/etc. number crunching libraries in Common Lisp as it is Python. And pure CL code is typically faster than pure Python (though pypy might be a different story). There's no technical reason it still couldn't be dominant in AI.

It's a shame things took the course they did with preferred languages.

Just because the whole is more or less abandoned (although I still use winamp, currently running a build from Dec 21, 2022), doesn't mean the licensed parts are.

If the rights holders of the licensed bits haven't abandoned them, then it's not really fair to distribute them without their consent.

So what I get out of this is that while they were nice and friendly and had a good chat, they also tuned each other out for basically the entire flight.

The original code may have been written by a 19 year old in 1997, but that license was written this year. Winamp has changed owners several times since then. The original author hasn't worked on it a decade at least.

The "they" that made that license is not the "they" that originally wrote it.

The most recent "they" is a European corporation. "They" are the ones trying to use open source as free labor. This isn't the case of "some dumb kid who didn't understand licensing", this is the case of a large international corporation trying to exploit the public for free labor. That's it.

The "they" who originally wrote Winamp, Justin Frankel among others, understands licensing well enough to know when to use GPL and when to keep it closed as he has projects in both areas.

Of course a lot of us have a soft spot for Winamp. It was a formative part of internet culture in the late 90s and early 00s. That and Napster was kind of the first step to things like iTunes and Spotify. But let's be honest here. What the Llama Group did was hilariously inept in the best case and ineptly exploitative in the worst.
