> Duolingo is not for people that wants to learn a language, it is for people that wants to want to learn a language.

I disagree. I would rather say that Duolingo is not a silver bullet for lazy people who want to easily learn a language. However, it's a great tool. Like any tool, you may or may not like it, but that doesn't make it useless for everybody else.

Learning a language is just hard. The more you practice, the better. Find tools that you like, and put effort into it.
Will hold judgement until I read the judge’s opinion, but this bit:

“‘It seemed doomed almost from the moment they decided to go to a sealed bid,’ Judge Lopez said.”

is nonsense from an auction theoretical perspective.

First-price sealed-bid auctions are a vetted auction system [1]—almost all real estate and corporate mergers, for example, are sold like this, as are government tenders [2].
(They’re not as efficient as Vickrey auctions [3], but nobody actually does that.)

The bankruptcy estate is selling the asset. Not Alex Jones. The creditors should be deciding who buys their stuff. Not a judge. (The judge is there to coördinate the creditors, not substitute his judgement for theirs.)

The author of this post makes incorrect assumptions about GDPR and makes bold claims regarding his rights

...GDPR gives me the right to see the data a company holds about me.
That includes messages about me stored on their internal systems

No. It doesn't give you a right to messages about you.

The WP DPO is correct in their response. Its okay to be mistaken but the sense of entitlement here is a bit much.

Ask HN: How are AI agents and LLMs delivering real value in your company?
I’m curious about the real-world impact of AI agents and LLMs in your workplace. Beyond the hype, where are they actually making a difference?

Specifically:

— What are your best use cases? What does the ACTUAL input (data, tasks) look like, and what’s the output (results, deliverables)?
— What’s the ROI? How many hours or dollars have you saved? Are there measurable productivity gains?
— Has anyone lost their job? or have roles shifted to new types of work because of AI?
— Any less-obvious use cases that turned out to be surprisingly effective?

Would love to hear about the tools you’re using, the workflows you’ve built, and what you’ve learned along the way
Anti-liberal arts campaign seems like a more apt label. Or Pro STEM.
This tool I made allows you to create your own course from scratch, it organises all of the material into a convenient structure and for each lesson you get content that is compiled from youtube and other content generated by ai for short and very simple assessments (low probability of hellucinations but still possible [it's still useful]).

Try it and give me some feedback.

Here is a list of features:

1) Make your own course
you go to (homepage->made by you -> click: make your own course) and provide anything into the text input, this can be lecture notes or a short description of what you want to learn. you then wait for a few minutes and done.

2) Youtube videos: each course lesson fetches lectures or tutorials from youtube, so you can get a nice tutoring experince (it's free)

3) premade courses
we complied a list of > 500 courses, you can get started learning anything for free straight away.

4) AI assessments and lessons
we provide the option (at your own risk) to study each lesson with the aid of AI written lessons and AI assessments (flashcards, quizzes, clozeCards, and vocabulary), If i might add I'm proud of the assessments UI, feeback improving this will be appreciated.

5) Mini lessons

you go to (homepage -> made by you -> your mini lessons), you then click on new mini lesson and provide a description of something you want to learn very quickly and done, you get a short lesson with all of the features above.

Feeback is welcome, ideally any pain points that I could improve or change.

Well yeah. Wordpress is written in php.
AFAIK, something having undefined behavior in the spec does not prevent an implementation- (platform-)specific behavior being defined.

As to your point about checks being erased, that generally happens when the checks happen too late (according to the compiler), or in a wrong way. For example, checking that `src` is not NULL _after_ memcpy(sec, dst, 0) is called. Or, checking for overflow by doing `if(x+y<0) ...` when x and y are nonnegative signed ints.

Considering that Google's 2019 claim of quantum supremacy was, at the very least, severely overestimated (https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.1910.09534) I would wait a little bit before making any decisions based on the Willow announcement.
Will the losing bidders drop out, or not? In a sealed bid you have to guess what others will bid - you want to bid $1 more than your competitors (or if you will lose the bid make your competitor pay as much as possible). The judge is saying because the bids were seals losing bidders had no clue what their correct bid is and some are likely to have bid less than they would have in open bidding.

Who is right I don't know.

It's hard, because the bad players tend to play what is termed "loose aggressive" -- so you have to play less hands, and often they get lucky with crap like catching a flush draw or three of a kind, and they only play 1/2 or 1/3.

Here's Gemini's response, for what it's worth:

'You should pull the door.

Since the word "push" is written in mirror writing, it's intended to be read from the other side of the door. Therefore, the intended action for someone on your side of the door is the opposite of "push," which is "pull."'

Seems right to me.
Who should foot the bill for cyber scams?
I think it's quite funny he's complaining about someone else's knowledge of GDPR but links to GDPR UK and not GDPR EU which is he is really referring to. WordPress not being a UK entity in any way, would mean it's outside of GDPR UK. And him being a UK citizen and resident would mean he is not covered under GDPR EU.
My terminal needs 8 colors - or more depending on how you count foreground/background, normal/intense etc.
I am still not getting it with Gemini.

*Gemini Flash:
The word "push" is written in reverse, which means it is meant to be read in a mirror. Therefore, you should pull the door open.

The mirror writing is a visual cue indicating the opposite action of what the word suggests.

So gets it, but wrong reasoning.

*Gemini Flash 2:

You should pull the door.

The mirror writing is a clue. If the word "push" is written backward as if reflected in a mirror, it means the door is designed to be pulled. The reflection indicates that the intended action is the opposite of what the word appears to say at first glance.

Again, right answer, wrong reasons.

*Gemini Advance:

You should push the door to open it. Here's why:

Mirror Writing: The word "push" being in reverse mirror writing is a deliberate design choice. It's meant to be read correctly from the opposite side of the door (where someone would be exiting).
Standard Practice: Most glass doors are designed to swing outward for safety reasons (in case of emergencies where people need to evacuate quickly).
Therefore, even though the writing might seem confusing at first, it's actually a helpful indicator that you need to push the door to enter.

Which is worse than flash! Complete nonsense.
I have read of other people getting customers/orders before actually having the product in place.

But my doomsday mind has a hard time shaking what happens if you can't follow through? Is it as simple as refunding the money?

A simple, stupid question with probably a single answer but that is where my mind goes when I hear people doing things this way.
I consulted at a place where I did that and they said don't put those comments in we don't do that here.

So probably it's been "fixed" and caused stuff to break since then.
Maybe one can pay for Greencard/visa with PayPal?

I dunno. It honestly feels a lot like how Google must come up with their adaptive color schemes in newer Android versions. The difference is that Android provides two related colors plus a complementary accent color, and then the fourth is a base "off white" neutral. Sure, it may not stand out as particularly noteworthy or interesting, but it certainly doesn't rate highly on any "this color scheme is horrifying" scale, either.

Odin and Zig both have dictators.

Both are very nice people as long as you’re nice yourself, imo.

My opinions:

Odin’s creator has some strong opinions around not prioritizing LSPs and QoL tools around Odin.

Zig’s is a little more hard nosed about simplicity. Zig is a very small language for a reason.

I’m on my zig arc now, but Odin is next.

You don't.

Regardless of what DRM is applied to official releases, every single mainstream movie gets released through pirate channels the same day as and often even before the official release. There may be a couple of obscure titles that slip through the cracks because no one in the pirate community noticed they existed but the stuff the industry actually cares about has never been successfully protected.

The DRM only stops people who are trying to stay "legit" from doing things they should be able to do like store it on a NAS, play it on whatever device they want, etc. It has never and will never stop pirates.

If I can go to a pirate site and locate a "REMUX" or "COMPLETE" rip of a movie, which is the case for the vast majority of movies ever released to digital formats, an official DRM-free release would change nothing for pirates and only make the experience better for people trying to stay legal.
Isn't it more sensible to just check that the params that are about to be sent to memcpy be reasonable?

That is why I tend to wrap my system calls with my own internal function (which can be inlined in certain PLs), where I can standardize such tests. Otherwise, the resulting code that performs the checks and does the requisite error handling is bloated.

Note that I am also loath to #DEFINE such code because C is already rife with them and my perspective is that the less of them the better.

At the end of the day, quick and dirty fixes will prove the adage "short cuts make long delays", and OpenBSD's approach is the only really viable long-term solution, where you just have to rewrite your code if it has ill-advised constructs.

For designing libraries such as C's stdlib, I don't believe in 'undefined behavior', clearly define your semantics and say, "If you pass a NULL to memcpy, this is what will happen." Same for providing a (n == 0), or should (src == dst).

And if, for some strange reason, fixing the semantics breaks calling code, then I can't imagine that their code wasn't f_cked in the first place.

Natwest/Coutts gave Nigel Farage internally generated documents about him in response to a subject access request (according to this and my memory of other reports https://news.sky.com/story/key-points-from-coutts-dossier-on... ).

its looks like internal discussions about someone are within scope of GDPR.

I didn't get that vibe. Making the GDPR request is like exercising a muscle - use it, or lose it, so to speak. If organizations aren't challenged to be compliant, they won't ever be. So this read to me more of an opportunity to press that. This really seems like a story about GDPR adherence at a company that has been considered relatively user-aligned (and what that might suggest about the operation in general) told as an anecdoprolonged. Instigating prologue.

It's missing the ad hominem harpiness that would suggest your version.

Just fyi he did, the court kept claiming he had to produce documents / analytics he said he didn’t have. There’s no evidence the documents ever existed, but judge disagreed, so they issued a default judgement (ie no trial).

I just hope the IT systems get upgraded.
Does this still matters today? I mean, first registers are anyway saved on the stack when calling a function, and caches of modern processors are really nearly as fast (if not as fast!) as a register. Registers these days are merely labels, since internally the processor (at least for x86) executes the code in a sort of VM.

To me it seems that all these optimizations were really something useful back in the day, but nowadays we can as well just ignore them and let the processor figure it out without that much loss of performance.

Assuming that the program is "bug free" to me is a terrible idea, since even mitigations that the programmer puts in place to mitigate the effect of bugs (and no program is bug free) are skipped because the compiler can assume the program has no bug. To me security is more important than a 1% more boost in performance.
A. Who specified this implied contract?

Sealed-bid auctions are incredibly common across markets [1]. Real estate. Corporate mergers.

Note, too, that an English auction is revenue equivalent to a second-price sealed-bid auction [2], and here we had a first-price sealed-bid auction with two bidders.

There may be valid reasons to challenge this auction. Sealed bids is absolutely, definitively not one.
