Right out of the gate, "When it comes to friendship, this isn’t the first time that authorities have cried wolf."

Not a great analogy since ultimately in the fable there did appear a wolf.
> 1. It puts Bluesky on notice that they need to watch their numbers

can't be as they haven't reached out to Bluesky, can't put someone on notice without communicating with them

this articles seems to be based on newpapers doing "press requests" not any EU institution initiating actions, some parts can outright be read as "what is Bsky, we should find out if it is relevant if we get press requests about it, where is their office again?"

> 2. It preempts accusations of unfair application of the rules

I'm not sure where such accusations should come from. I don't thing any related EU regulatory organizations care about what people in the US thing about supposedly unfair treatment of X compared to Bsky.

> 3. It reminds Blusky that if they trade internationally they need to "do as Romans do".

which only makes sense if they communicate with them but the only communication flow seem to have been the Financial Times asking some regulators. So I don't think so.
Folks, those buildings can be empty, either as a mind!@#% or just crazy future capacity forecasts that may not be real.

Watching a bunch of arm-chair experts guess that this building means more than it is is a wastes of time. (Approx) 3% of comments here make sense, are enlightening, 97% are just self-assured "Dunning Kruger effect" amateurs guessing they can deduct real info from this is weird. Good waste of 10 minutes for me though.
The first two factions you describe in Python (types, testing etc. vs. data science and Anaconda) can work together just fine.

IQ scores have proven highly correlated to educational achievement, occupational attainment, career advancement, lifetime earnings, brain volume, cortical thickness, health, longevity, and more.

To the point of being accurate predictors of these things even when controlling for things like socioeconomic background.

It's used because it works as a measuring tool, how the tests are constructed is largely irrelevant to the question of if the outcome of the test is an accurate predictor of things we care about.

If you think you have a better measuring tool you should propose it and win several awards and accolades. No one has found one yet in spite of many smart people trying for decades.
So… EU regulations are about "protecting users privacy"… but requires you to know how many of your users are EU-based, and publicly report it ?

I don’t know about you, but "country of residence" is the kind of private information but I’d rather not be collected unless good reasons. Requiring to collect it seems rather antithetical to "protecting user privacy".
Is there any way to give a MCP server access for good? Trying out the demo it asked me every single time for permission which will be annoying for longer usage.
No. (Replied to your other reply.)
Longest period of peace in Europe seems like a pretty big achievement, even if many of us don't even know what it's like to live through wars in Europe. On a smaller scale, having a single currency, no roaming fees, traveling and working everywhere without worrying about tourist or a working Viswa is pretty big too.

Easy to forget about many of these things as we just take these as a given baseline.

He must have been an amazing person. I imagine one easily gets bullied, when looking that different. But, from Wikipedia:

> Lentini was so respected among his peers that he was often called "The King".
> treat strings as opaque blobs most of the time

While being transparent is great and better than stupidly mangling or rejecting data, the problem is that if we just pass through anything, there are situations and contexts in which some kinds of software could be used as part of a chain of deception involving Unicode/font tricks.

Passing through is mostly good. Even in software that has to care about this, not every layer through which text passes should have the responsibility.

In my opinion, this progressive arms race in interview difficulty is a direct result of the lack of industry-standard credentialing, the influence of ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policy), and exploitative coding bootcamps preying on the "promise of an instant 6-figure income" in just six months.

Either you enforce a minimal level of competency upfront with academic rigor, industry-standard exams, and similar measures, or you push the entire responsibility of vetting prospective applicants downstream to the employer—which is exactly where we are right now.

So how do we go about fixing it? For starters, I think we should bring back the Software Engineering PE Exam.

I heard that Meta also has a monorepo but most of their open source projects are very community driven. I think it is corporate mandate thing, no resources to be spent on open source and not tracking open source contributions as part of career development.
> Sure, but let's get back to the use case we are exploring here: Do you trust your doctor's contact info for their sibling? Could it provide you utility? What about your doctor's contact info for the front desk of their practice?

Not inherently: for all I know, my doctor is technically illiterate and their contact book is thoroughly padded with spam.

The problem of trust is that trust isn't a boolean; it's a set of policies that vary by principal and action. It's very hard to encode that in a truly general way, which is why modern cryptographic application design orthodoxy dictates that applications should try to solve exactly one kind of trust at a time.

Thousands of Internet Outages Across America (11/25/2024)
Thanks for sharing what is working for you in production. I made a somewhat similar library that also does batching (docs are sparse, but I am updating docs on my libraries this week) [1].

I would call this parallelism rather than concurrency.

The main issue I have with this library's implementation is how errors are handled.
Errors are retrieved rather than assigned- but assignment is preferable because it gets verified by tools. In my library I used a channel for errors- that gives ultimate flexiblitiy- it can be converted to wait and collect them to a slice or to perform a cancellation on first error.

All you have to be is a proponent of ________ politics, LGBTQ, an opinionated woman, etc and you will receive death/rape threats on twitter. I’m sure 99% of them are bots, but still it can be unnerving. A strong opinion on a contentious topic will get you death threats eventually. That’s why I have DMs turned off and block/mute rather than engage trolls
I entirely agree that there is substantial tolerance for vehicle noise tolerance and this drives me crazy. Cities aren't loud, cars are!
I just want to make clear though that replacing the ICE part with electric engines solves the problem for low speeds only -- once they're going at a reasonable speed, engine noise doesn't dominate (if you exclude the antisocial behaviors of deliberately loud vehicles, most motorbikes).
But those 65 Watts contain State of the Art Flops/Watt.
Just to add a different perspective: sometimes people mean Open Source[1] when they say "open source," and sometimes they don't.

Personally, I take the cathedral/bazaar distinction to indicate different development cadences and philosophies, rather than whether contributions are allowed/encouraged.

Various cathedral-style projects (eg: FreeBSD, Emacs) still actively take contributions and encourage involvement.

There's something even further along the spectrum that's "we provide dumps of source code, but don't really want your patches." I'm not sure what the best term is for that, but "source [merely] available" sometimes has that connotation.

There’s an open question of who is to blame when poorly written legislation causes companies (with fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders) find ways to follow the letter of the law but not the intent and create end results that are worse for the public.

The American perspective tends to be that if millions of users are suffering because thousands of companies are interpreting the laws created by a single legislature, we should tell that one legislature to fix their shit. (Note: not that they actually do fix their shit, but that’s who we yell at)

The European perspective tends to be that the thousands of companies should each be individually yelled at to fix their shit (Note: not that they actually do fix their shit, but that’s who they yell at)

Neither way is all that effective tbh. But looking at the end results, I must say I prefer using the internet outside of the EU. I always use private browsing, and the implementation of EU rules when browsing the web in Europe makes this an absolutely insufferable experience. Pages and pages of legalese I have to click through to access a single google result - when guess what, none of that applies because I’m browsing in private. The natural response for me would be to then disable private browsing and let google store its “you clicked through our bullshit” cookie to make my life easier — resulting in the exact opposite of the intended effect of the law.

Like I said, neither side is perfect, but using the internet “privately” is actually much easier outside of the EU vs in it. To me, that means we need to yell at the legislature. Opinions may very.

Honor, courage, and commitment you say?

I made the mistake of saying.

After two weeks of painting curbs and cutting the lawn with hedge trimmers, I found myself moving from Monterey to the Mojave in my dress blues. There I found myself in a Catch-22 style administrative black hole where I couldn't get orders until I was assigned to a school and couldn't be assigned to a school until I had orders.

There were some incredible people but it was a very mixed bag.
I can't tell if you are joking or not.

If a platypus lays eggs, but it meets other criteria of being a mammal, it's still called a mammal. Owl may not be a full conforming Scheme implementation, but it seems to be member of the Scheme sub-family.

I'd say if you are a Lisp-1 (ie one namespace for variables and functions) and generally use the function names used by the Scheme standard then you are a Scheme (or Scheme-like-Lisp if you are very taxonomically retentive). However, if you are a Lisp-2 and use the function names of Common Lisp you're a Lisp.

Maybe if one were doing a deep dive on the history of Lisp and are into S-expressions vs M-expressions then it might be too loose, but I believe what is above is what most people would agree with in this context.
They both fit the description in GP.

There's a lot vague references here to things that are never revealed. I don't think I'm alone in perceiving it as an author deliberately hiding guilty details which would devastate the "reasonableness" of their complaint.

To illustrate the idea:

Person A: "The state cannot criminalize healthy joint exercises, natural bodily functions, and freedom of expression! This is an outrage to be condemned by every free-thinking man!"

Person B: "For the last time sir, you can not fastball-pitch your own feces at people in line for the movie you dislike."
Not democratized education, to my understanding. Rural china has never had the sort of broad access to education that exists there now (and is still rapidly developing).

Yes. The only difference between UTF-8 and WTF-8 is that the latter does not reject otherwise valid UTF-8 byte sequences that correspond to codepoints in range U+D800 to U+DFFF (which means that, in practice, a lot of things that say they are UTF-8 are actually WTF-8).

Have you ever built a web site?

If you are bringing up a nano instance on EC2 for instance, you should have the goal that it does something interesting. If you had a choice between taking a course and doing some project that demonstrates mastery, I’d pick the later. Goals like “learning Java” or “learning Linux” are so vague that they are not good guideposts. I would put the personal projects first and then build a plan to get there.

When it comes to text editors you should learn vi, not to write 1000s lines of code in but to fix a busted configuration file on a screwed-up Linux box over ssh at 2pm. You don’t have to be great at it but you need to be able to use it as a notepad replacement.
At time of observation, Microsoft Office has 6000+ affected servers. Multiple 1000's in America, several hundred in Europe, and ~100 in Japan, Singapore, and Brazil.

Newark, Chicago, Cleveland, Des Moines, Virginia, Atlanta, and Los Angeles are all badly hit at 200+

Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin all got 100+ in Europe.
> HN is not a hive mind. There are people here who love Firefox, people who despite it, and everyone in between. It’s tiring to always be reading your type of comment, as if everyone is a hypocrite. Maybe, just maybe, the people making those contradictory comments are not the same individuals.

I didn't mean to say that all of HN despises Firefox, but simply that it very often brings negative sentiments, so seeing the comment I was responding to so high up in the thread made me react. It was also a kind reminder that militating is as simple as using an alternative to Chrome.

> And it’s not like Mozilla is free from controversies, including several of betraying user trust. If every major browser maker is going to break your trust and sell your data, I can see why people choose their poison based on other factors.
> I use neither Firefox nor Chrome. Is Safari any better? Or Brave? In some areas yes, in others no. I don’t think there’s a single browser vendor which gets it unambiguously right.

And you're making my point about the perfect solution fallacy as well! Of course Firefox isn't perfect and has screwed up on several occasions, does that mean it's comparable to a piece of software that sends every single bit of information it can gather to its parent ad company?

The quintessential example for providing source and discouraging contributions is SQLite. Nobody would argue that it's merely source available. It is full open source.

In fact "source available" usually means you can see the source code, but there are severe restrictions on the source, such as no permission to modify the source even for your own use, or no permission to create forks of the project containing the modifications, or severe restrictions on such modifications. An example is MongoDB's Server Side Public License, which is source-available but not open source.

The GP is saying that IQ tests are deliberately calibrated and normalized to produce a Gaussian output, and that the input is not necessarily a Gaussian distribution of any particular quantity.

This doesn't say anything in particular about whether it's useful, just that people should be careful interpreting the values directly.
Will you also create some info on how other LLM providers can integrate this? So far it looks like it's mostly a protocol to integrate with anthropic models/desktop client. That's not what I thought of when I read open-source.

It would be a lot more interesting to write a server for this if this allowed any model to interact with my data. Everyone would benefit from having more integration and you (anthropic) still would have the advantage of basically controlling the protocol.
As I recall, it's a combination of things all happening at once, to include using last known location at shutdown, GPS inputs (if available) and inertial inputs.

There were various workarounds you had to use in the Navy, where the ship has not only usually moved from the last place the jet thought it was, but it's generally moving as the jet tries to re-align itself. GPS made things easier, and there wasn't a whole lot of thinking involved, but it always took the jet a bit more (or a lot more depending on model) thinking to get a stable platform underway.
In France, if you lay off people collectively for economical reasons, those people have the right to be re-hired first should the company open jobs that are compatible with their qualifications within 1 year after the layoff (it's called "re-hire priority").
I don't know a single person who is using dating apps and is happier for it. Occasionally people get lucky, but that definitely is not the rule. I know this because I attend lots of meetups and speed dating events. There is a bias there but, even outside those circles, dating apps have an astonishingly poor reputation. If anything, their use probably correlated with generalized unhappiness and a lack of fulfillment.

Granted, I don't think dating apps are the very root of the problem, but they have certainly done a lot to damage how people get together.

As far as technology allowing people to make friends, I sometimes see that happen, but I think friend-making technologies are more of a response to a symptom than an actual enhancement of human friendship dynamics.

From what I have observed, many people today are hesitant to establish friendships, accept others despite minor differences, and make an effort to maintain a friendship, or even just allyship. Modern life is so comfortable and easy, even for many of those not in the upper eschelons of society, that people are constantly weighing the pros and cons of interacting with other people. When merely staying at home is so comfortable, people are always deciding whether to just stay home and be tittilated by home entertainment and a fridge full of food. In other words, when life is too good, human interaction is treated more and more like a transaction.

Many people also don't know how to make connections in adulthood even when they are using assistive technologies. I was talking to a fellow Meetup.com organizer yesterday, and he told he thought it was remarkable how almost nobody seems to trade contact info at the end of an event despite everything having gone rather well. I myself didn't discover the magic of simply asking to exchange numbers until I was in my 30s. While very few people make the initiation, virtually everyone is willing to give out a number. No one has ever told me no, besides women I tried to ask out in my early 20s.

So yes, I think you are right that even if tech facilitated more interactions (which I am still skeptical of), that doesn't mean the majority of those interactions are leading to anything. The fact the author of this paper cites romance as being made easier by tech makes me very suspicious as to whether they know what they're talking about.
