The WP plugin allows you to timestamp any content type (post, page, custom post type) into the blockchain so that you can create immutable proof of revision historical data. This allows you to increase "content provenance" by proving with "time".

Because the Internet Archive is in GRAVE DANGER, then this will help prove ownership of your content historically (especially for legal purposes where blockchain is used in your country's court of law).

Only the "fingerprint" (SHA256 hash) of the content is stored in the blockchain. Keeping it privacy-friendly.

The repository uses a GitHub action to automatically deploy the plugin updates to the WP SVN plugin repo.

Meta: I don't fully understand the HN policy on political posts this close to the US elections, but I went ahead and vouched for this, as it contains some interesting content. If I was wrong, I'm sorry!

We continue to exist in two alternative realities, with different "facts", mostly about what Trump himself has said or done. Both sides find somewhat credible support for their belief.

As a dangerous man once said, it is best to give a sign of the light one day and a sign of the dark the next, such that supporters of both sides can look to you as a champion.

Quotes from the article:

>According to attendees, and to contemporaneous notes of the meeting taken by a participant, an aide answered: Yes, we received a bill; the funeral cost $60,000.

>Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!”

>[...]I emailed a series of questions to a Trump spokesperson, Alex Pfeiffer[...]

>Regarding Trump’s “fucking Mexican” comment, Pfeiffer wrote: “President Donald Trump never said that. This is an outrageous lie from The Atlantic two weeks before the election.” He provided statements from Patel and a spokesman for Meadows, who denied having heard Trump make the statement. Via Pfeiffer, Meadows’s spokesman also denied that Trump had ordered Meadows not to pay for the funeral.
But what else does it really bring to the table compared to something like C# or Kotlin?

Show HN: I built a Photoshop expert for clothing brands
Hey guys, my name's Chris.

The feeling of shipping your first app is incredible.

This year, in February I paused my main business (a digital agency) and decided to learn full stack.

Yep, not the wisest thing to do. Agree.

But I was always passionate about apps. Most of my clients were startups. And gosh, I loved talking to founders.

I remember first time running 'npm run dev' in my IDE and seeing the Next screen on my localhost. Great feeling.

So I spent 3 months building my first app - Delle.

It helps small clothing brands to create professional photo shoots for their clothing line.

back in 2023, I had a few eComm clients. And I've noticed they spend a lot of money into professional photo shooting.

Most importantly, they waste time and effort on finding a good studio, hiring models, scheduling..

And while there are plenty of tools that integrate with VTON (Virtual Try On) technology, I kept Delle a bit different:

1. I wanted to allow users to generate images for different fits, like S, L, XXL. This would help their customers to see how the product would look on them. It would also help with the store conversions.

2. Realistic models: the competing apps lack that human touch. You can easily spot it's AI.

You can go ahead and give Delle a try here:

If you'll have questions around the tech stack or simply want to share your feedback/bugs, please let me know. If would mean a lot to me.

> It's funny that any time there's a judicial ruling we like, it's fair and impartial, and any time there's a judicial ruling we don't like, it's judicial activism.

It is funny, but at the same time I absolutely believe that in many cases it's possible to distinguish between judgments of the activist kind and those that aren't.

Critics of SCOTUS should keep in mind that they agree unanimously more often than one might think. In fact, it's the modal outcome over all terms, with roughly third of all cases decided unanimously. IIRC 7-2 or more one-sided rulings (meaning more concurrence between all justices) occur roughly four-fifths of the time.
I'm pretty sure a drunk mind can read what you commented with ease and get the point, while a sober mind would get stuck and think "what is this" and do multiple takes before getting the point.
Tracking the person is a side effect, this is all about tracking the CO2 emissions and comparing to public statements that people made about that.

By this logic if you are commenting on anything you haven't paid for you are stealing. Even if it's published openly on the Internet and you don't have to pay to access it.

Did you pay for all the content you used to create your comment? If not how did you dare to write it and publish it?

You've stolen the fraction of their income because after reading your comment I don't need to go read your source if I'm only interested in information you stolen and shared.

What if you cause the demise of those sources with your (and your copycats) shameless theft?

This is silly. Technology evolves all the time. Things die and they should die. Other arise in their place to fill the gap.
I believe it's legally required to?
If carbon emissions were taxed I would have no issue with this. Ostensibly, the rich have earned their greater share of the national wealth/output (including CO2 emission budget), as long as they are paying fairly for it.
It's helpful for people to know just how "sticky" antiquated interfaces can be in a complex, mission-critical system - and how expensive they can be to replace (even though it's just one part of the overall upgrade of course).

"No reason why the US can't have the same."

The reason that won't work here currently is because the two party system has people currently picking the lessor of two evils. The spectrum of stances within a single party is extremely wide since all cobinations of views must fit within two parties. For example, compare a NYC Democrat candidate vs a WV Democrat candidate. Or a republican candidate from TX vs one from NJ.

"There needs to be public funding of elections. That would go a long way."

I sort of agree. Instead of all these commercials and flyers, it would be much better if every candidate gets a page on a government website where they can advertise their views and platform. It would be similar to how specimen ballots are available online today. Restrictions like that would remove much of the influence of money.
It does not have access to the Excel app. You may be able to generate the .xlsx file using python libraries but you would need to run the python code on your own. ChatGPT can run generated code, which is probably why it works there.
Meta consistently and aggressively censors on almost anyone's behalf. "X" will do it for anyone with any legal order, although they made a statement recently about Brazil that they ultimately backed down from once it was clear it was going to cost them a lot of money.
Or it's just interesting information that the person creating the tracking account can make some money off.
That is nice of you to offer, but your profile nor this message provide any way of contacting you.
Governments seem very focused on protecting people from easy-to-address, low-harm activities like website tracking and spam, but wholly unconcerned with scams and theft (which I consider much more harmful).

The methodology used for that headline is questionable. Most of that comes from their investments rather than flying private jets or whatever. That's questionable because it's not entirely obvious who the emissions of a company should be allocated to. Why should BP's shareholders be on the hook for the emissions from the oil it sells, rather than its customers who are actually burning the oil?
Simple and very nice!

If you have a lot of experience with C, and take just a glance at the basics of Zig, I think you’ll understand why each of those changes were made. C doesn’t have very good syntax. Nether for compiler (correctly interpreting the code requires a lot of context), nor code editor, nor for humans.

If you have experience with some modern languages, you’ll definitely understand the syntax. Zig is close to a style of syntax that many newer languages seem to have settled on, and there are good reasons why that style has become prefer.

Why make a new language if you’re not going to make some improvements over the old? Seems like a very weird complaint to me.
You do it by making sequential evaluation (i.e. the semicolon, which becomes an operator in "everything is an expression" world) always produce a void result. Then you introduce the notion of terminating evaluation early and yielding a value from the compound expression - this becomes `return` (and other similar constructs like `break` and `continue`).

> Elimination? OK, we can probably broadly define that, but I just heard news reports with quotes of Israelis calling for the elimination of Hamas, and Iran the elimination of Israel. How do we handle that? marginalized? as defined by who?

I'd call both of them hate speech without qualification. But between countries, there's no legal system that would rule on speech (only actions, like the ICJ tries to adjudicate).

> What about marginalizing undesirable behaviours or speech?

What is the example of undesirable behavior being undertaken by a group that would warrant their marginalization as a group? I'm having a hard time finding an example of that. Calling out a group of racists or bigots (based on their words) for what they are isn't marginalization.

> What does "dehumanize" mean?

This has a very straightforward definition:

The motivation for these accounts is usually a rift on the "ultra-wealth is bad" train.

Setting aside any possible agreements/disagreements with that, the flight tracking information is freely public, available to anyone who wants to look- go on flightaware. Flight information has never been private, nobody treats it as private, so why would social media* companies pretend it is? I don't think home addresses are that comparable in this situation.

Conversely why does anyone care to keep their address private? There used to be a book that almost everyone had, updated every year, that listed the name, address, and phone number of almost everyone in town.

Yes, you could be "unlisted" (for a fee) but that was not really considered normal.
What was the negative statement? To me the logic is that:

1. Criticising a religion != hate speech, or generally making fun of or criticising any sort of religious figure like Muhammad or Jesus != hate speech.

2. Calling out for a group of people of certain religion to have X negative consequences = hate speech.
Abortion bans don’t stop abortions. They simply disincentivize safe, sanctioned abortions, and increase travel distances for those seeking reproductive healthcare. This is lost on certain voter cohorts and policymakers.

Right. The Nevada Appeal, which actually has people on the ground, has far more info.[1] North of Thacker Pass is the area to look. The mine is building their own rail yard west of Winnemuca. The mine will be an open-pit mine like a coal mine. Sawtooth Mining division of North American Coal will do the mining. Dig down 350 feet, take out clay with lithium, process, put back clay without lithium.
The processing plant will be at Thacker Pass. Big plant, maybe 1800 people.
Lithium in clay is a new thing - the usual input is brine. Also a sulfuric acid plant, a power plant, housing, etc. Project assumes a loan of US$2.3 billion from the U.S. Department of Energy.

"Lithium Americas will contract with a bus company to drive workers an hour to the site for 10-hour work shifts, he added. An additional two hours will be added for transportation time.
If you go to work on our project, you will have free room and board and free transportation to the site every day. You would get three free meals a day." If you're an unemployed coal miner in West Virginia, that might look good.

I assume your point is that a felony conviction is evidence of an unsound mind that justifies prohibiting someone from owning a firearm, and that this translates to leading our military.

The analogy falls apart if said felony conviction is unjust or otherwise has no bearing on one's ability to lead the military. By and large, American voters think so, with two-thirds of those polled thinking that what he was convicted of is a nothingburger[0].

Both drug users and drug dealers are considered complicit in the social impacts of that business.
It doesn't capture the width of views precisely because of the "big tent" parties. When a political party is united and effective, it functions as a weighted average of its representatives. When it's not, it loses power and makes other parties stronger.

If your opinions are outside the mainstream of any party, you will not have genuine representation in any democratic system, where political parties are allowed to form. Some outlier representative may speak in favor of policies you support, but they would be equally effective as an extra-parliamentary activist.

Similarly with the difficulty of many things. When you learn some math, you go on to learn some more complicated, more abstract math. When you solve a research problem, it creates new, often harder puzzles.
Hmm, what if TSMC just told the US, "ok, go screw yourself, I'll sell my services to anyone but you and your companies? Yes, TSMC would lose a lot. But arguably the damage to the US would be a lot more.

Personally it feels weirder to have my address public today because it's too freely available across the world. Sure, someone back in the days of the yellow pages would still be able to get to me, but it would probably involve a bit more work of tracking what city I'm in then getting their hands on the book.

Now with it being digital it's too easy to casually find and abuse. The barrier to access is a lot lower.
> based on a detailed analysis of the investments of 125 of the richest billionaires in some of the world's biggest corporates and the carbon emissions of these investments. These billionaires have a collective $2.4 trillion stake in 183 companies.

Oh, come on. Counting the carbon emissions of the companies in their stock portfolio is completely absurd.
"It would also not be re-orientable, so any "telescope" launched to that location would only be able to observe a single target."

I just presume that such observation spacecraft makes sense to be made as a rather long term investment than some one-time fly-by thing like New Horizons, so the sensible thing to do is to have it in an orbit around the Sun at that (≥650AU) distance and to take multiple observations. Of course, the easiest solution may be for the orbit to be elliptical one, with the useful position only around its aphelion, in which case it will be able to observe only a single target indeed. But, I also presume that past the first few such elliptical orbit experiments the aim will shift to have the spacecrafts set on distant (and most likely circular) orbits that make possible observations at any time and thus its target would be something akin to a horizon rather than a single point, wouldn't it?

I'm talking about the matrices W_Q, W_K and W_V. My question is why these are matrices (tensors of dimension 2) and not tensors of a higher dimension than 2.

My thinking goes like: a matrix can represent a graph (each entry may correspond to an edge between two nodes), but e.g. a 3-dimensional tensor may correspond to a hypergraph where each entry is a 3-hyperedge, so you can not just talk about the relation between two tokens, but also about the relation between three tokens (in language this could be e.g. subject, object and indirect-object/dative).

By definition, you only need to do the minimum to move data from one process to another to get things read or written.

That doesn't mean you need an entire system to represent every table as an object-like thing (which is what I assume when people say ORM). It's actually possible to just emit queries to read and write the exact data that's required in the shape that makes sense for the caller.

Death by food poisoning is such an unfair part of life. Most don’t even think about it since it has become so uncommon.
