I posted this video in response to the thread about facial recognition evasion. [0]

I originally saw this at an exposition in France a few years back, and it stuck with me ever since. It's a very clever commentary about the state of AI and facial recognition software and that's long before the big AI boom. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

> This is already a solved problem with Nix shell (except the task runner part).

devenv, a Nix+direnv-based solution, has a pretty cool task runner thing, plus service management.

> I don't understand why there are any other alternatives still being developed.

I love Nix and I believe it's a great choice for many teams, for the same use cases as mise. Nix's paradigm is the future. But Nix's defects are also real and obvious enough if you use it for long. I can understand why someone might see value in trying a fresh new effort, or an approach that asks less commitment.
If you look at that tech emails twitter account that shows emails from discovery in various legal things, this is basically what you see, just sentences of context with very little niceties.

That got me as well. Retro is the 80s for me ..
This is more of a YouTube thing. They are very trigger-happy on copyright and implement a "strike" system that will quickly get you demonetized. It's fairly easy to file a strike against anyone and the target has little recourse other than taking down the video even if it has nothing to do with copyright.

It's not DMCA so you don't even have the right to counter-file. And of course since it's Google there's no one you can call or email to get real help unless you're a super popular channel with an assigned rep.
I am aware of the history. But your assertion that only Iran wishes to attack Israel is untrue. Al-Qaedas very foundational idea was to hurt the Saudi government for allying with the US (and by extension Israel). And these rebels are all former Al-Qaeda or worse.

You think they will be pro-Western before they will be anti-Israel? It's a very risky gamble to make.
Calling Marvell an "AI chip maker" is bizarre. They're mostly a networking company, with a fair bit of storage stuff, too. Like any tech company these days, they're trying to jump on the AI bandwagon, but that hasn't actually changed what markets they're operating in.
> …so they made a business decision to respect peoples privacy (and their bottom line at that).

For the record, Apple abandoned this on-device technique because of bad press, even though it would've been more privacy-preserving than the in-cloud scanning that virtually all image hosts do today.

I briefly tried devenv and I find it much easier to use than raw nix, but I also had issues with my nix install on macos (using both the official and the DS installer). It worked well on my linux machine.

Today though mise has so many other great features, I would still choose it over devenv or devbox.
I learned programming on an Olivetti M24 using GW-BASIC. The M24 supported SCREEN 3 (a mode you do not see supported in this manual) that was 640x400 black & white. Good times.
There is no federal registry, that's why the FFL system exists. They track who they did transactions with and if the federal government needs to know about a transaction they can approach the FFL holders. The system works as designed to preserve privacy while also providing some amount of traceability.

All that needs to happen is the prohibition of private sale outside of an FFL. From there you can penalize gun shows that allow non-FFL holders to sell.

As I said earlier, there's not a good reason not to transact through an FFL. They're charged with maintaining your privacy as a purchaser while simultaneously preventing strawman purchases. They're a very basic extension of nearly every pawn broker.
It is very well known that China blocks access to sites containing that term, there has been overwhelming evidence for many years.

What reason could there conceivably be for including that term into a meta tag of a thematically unrelated website, other than to trigger the well-known blocking of access from China?
Looks like most links are about antivirus software or Firefox. So it does seem to be working; people are getting pointed to the buggy application code actually causing their problem and not the SQLite project itself
IIRC ~40% is in arid regions, rest in semi arid or better regions. I think in arid regions they'd prioritized desert margins with 100-200 mm rain. <100mm is extreme arid zones, i.e. central Takilmakan. I'm not sure if they'd even bother with that.
My experience with such tools is that when you do everything, you don't do anything right.

The chances that it doesn't leak greatly the underlying abstraction and creates troubles to figure it out when it will invariably fail is zero.

Because most people barely know in depth the packaging challenges for one ecosystem. In Python there are maybe a dozen in the world that have a good hang of __all__ of it.

And the devs of this tool would need to know so many.

Of course they don't, they wrap existing tools, which implies exactly what I said above.
In fact, I taught my child multiplication and negative numbers without running him through a lot examples. He publicly demonstrated the ability to multiply (by multiplying numbers during conversations) before his school ever taught it via drilling (in their case the Singapore method).

I agree about the shift in university. I really enjoyed what felt like a removal of the noise. Of course, the interconnection of the pieces and learning to instantiate the concepts into concrete are expected work of students. That all said, abstraction (or models) are lossy compressions and noticing their failures is essential to avoid becoming detached and/or delusional.
This is the UK? DMCA doesn't apply there?
Hamas is Sunni and Iran is Shia. Sunni and Shia don't really matter in these contexts. And if you think Islamist rebels hate Shias more than they hate Israel and the USA, it's a toss-up, imo

I'm not even sure what you're arguing for. Are you claiming that "racism" means different things in US compared to china? Or that "context" needs to be considered when determining whether an act is racist?
The modern Balkans seem better now than they were at the early ‘90s.
"The village" isn't limited to some pioneer dung sifter living seven generations to a hovel. Also absolutely bizarre how so many people so desperately want to make this an economic thing.

The village referred to the notion that children were viewed as important to the whole. The whole country, the whole province, the whole village, the whole neighbourhood, the whole family. Everyone cared about and contributed to the raising of children. In my childhood -- and at this point the village was already declining -- I had a number of friend families that were like second, third and fourth families where I could stayover for dinner whenever I wanted, they watched out for me, etc. There were many times where I spent nights at aunts with my cousins, or at grandparents.

Culturally this is far less common. We all move hundreds of kilometers apart. Sometimes for careers, more often because you're a loser if you stay near where you grew up. Many/most younger people have little relation with cousins or aunts or uncles. Grandparents now move to Arizona and ask for pictures occasionally. People have an antagonistic attitude towards other people's kids as a selfish trifle that are just a nuisance for everyone else.

No, hiring a nanny isn't equivalent and doesn't invalidate this.
China does not do alliances in that sense. China has a century-long (or even longer) world domination plan which it methodically realizes and are on a demographic clock to get it done. As a non-China country, you’re either a tool or an obstacle; never an ally.
> However, the idea of parents giving 100% of themselves to the children is also an unsustainable one,

No one is suggesting giving 100% because it is an impossibility. What is suggested is that parents and children have the same priority - the children's wellbeing.

I have 5 adult sons. The value of my wellbeing is that it enhances their wellbeing. This reflects the nature of our one-way debt. They owe me nothing. I owe them what I can give.
> Alpha was the first 64-bit platform NT ran on

Interestingly enough, NT used the Alpha as a 32 bit processor[0]. Although NT on Alpha was used to port Windows to 64 bits in lieu of using the (very slow) Itanium simulator[1].

Actually, this was discussed on HN earlier[2], and I believe you wrote an article for The Register[3] about it :)

By far the most interesting aspect of this tale is the sudden rush of evidence (news stories, internet videos etc) that insurers have abruptly started paying claims which were previously denied or mired in paperwork. The comments of e.g. [0] and [1] are filled with people claiming this. The system is clearly rattled by the appearance of the people's justice, in a "Let them eat cake" kinda way, and is trying to make a sudden show of not being so rapacious and unjust.

While I think your argument makes sense in the abstract, the person you’re replying to asked if it was cheap, not if it was within budget. Depending on one’s needs, if their budget allows them to afford something but that doesn’t adequately fulfil the need, it can still be considered expensive.
The 200% Problem. You have to understand the abstraction but then when it doesn’t work you have to understand the thing it abstracts too.

Which of course the author always does and so they don’t get what they’ve done to people.
I can't tell my new Pixel 9 Pro being any faster and I think the effective screen resolution is LESS than my Pixel 6a is, out of the box. I liked the way it fit in my hand better, too. 3 years felt like long enough to "deserve" an upgrade but I kind of regret even bothering to upgrade. The camera is better but that's about it.
It's mentioned in the article, "our earlier coverage"
I loved playing codenames with friends and this much care into the app has convinced me to purchase it and give it a go.
This guy's condition is tragic, but it's crazy to me that people can read this and come away thinking the insurance companies are the bad guys.

Many drugs don't work, they are expensive. If there are no voices in the room saying "we will not pay for expensive drugs that do not work", then healthcare costs will continue spiraling out of control.

Single payer healthcare will "solve" this by ensuring that the medications this guy was taking do not exist and are never prescribed in the first place.
So who do we believe? When people say they’re not going to do a bad thing, but also lay out their exact plan for doing it, I’m going to put more weight behind the latter.
I literally have a PhD in social science and studied public opinion research at the graduate level with one of the field’s most highly accomplished political scientists of his generation.

This is not a problem I feel, the nuggets of content are easy to find and read imho and I think there is a greater chance the AI will mess up the content's meaning. If you returned the full text of the article, that'd be cool.

Where your solution has potential is in removing the idiotic EU cookie banners, various useless popups, banners, obnoxious menus, autoplaying videos and what not.

If news websites were just a repository of text files, that would be great.
Do Americans have the technical expertise for a higher curvature? The American primary/secondary schooling system sucks, and most of the top STEM students at university are not interested in working for the military.
Maybe it varied depending on the night, but I remember Output being stricter about it the first few years they were open – staff would regularly confront people who took photos. But that seemed to fall off entirely over their final couple years.
I also think we've become more self-obsessed and the idea that we might need to sacrifice time spent on ourselves scares us.
Let’s not forget if you go against the grain and post “people are celebrating murder, which is gross” you are probably going to get downvoted—even on this site!

This whole celebration of murder thing is so bizarre. The fact it seems to be the default “way to get upvotes” and speaking out is “downvote city” is… well… disconcerting to say the least.

Check out Twinkly. Little pricey, but if you can grab them on sale they're super cool.
Ouch. This won't look good.

I doubt this was done to specifically block Chinese applications, as this string is just a common reverse spam filter. The idea is that Chinese GFW will catch it anyhow or give such impression to spammers to scare them. Allegedly suspicious TCP reset or packet losses following responses including this type of text wasn't rare up until 2010s.

Legitimate traffic to Japanese websites is supposedly negligible, therefore resistance against even cutting off all Chinese IPs is quite small among savvy Japanese computer users, and so is to sprinkle this string.

Searching "六四天安門 スパム" should give you general public sentiments on this method, not specific to this case. It's at most considered a mildly questionable choice.

The "Code of Conduct" Must Die [video]
Do you think there is ever a role in using an authoritarian's tools like censorship against them? Why or why not?

If so why is this particular instance not a good example of it?
>almost 100 years

110-140 years in Germany, depending on "how everyone" you want. The workers were getting restless (protesting) about some of their hardships, so the conservative emperor asked the conservative chancellor to do something about their welfare in order to keep them away from the bad people (communists, socialists).
Don’t go to a supermarket then? Use farmers markets, local butchers, and local coops if you don’t like supermarkets.
>Or is the intent to resist the authoritarian behaviour of the CCP?

Given that US sanctions hasn't caused the CCP to change their behavior, I think it's fair to say that the actual impact of the CS department putting an anti-CCP keyword on their home page to be approximately zero.

>If all major websites did this it would severely degrade the ability of the CCP to function and they may be forced to stop denying the atrocities that they've committed.

China blocks major sites like facebook, most western media, and all of google, and they seem to be doing fine. Adding a japanese university to that list, can again be rounded to approximately zero.
Several, if not most, of the plants are extremely senstitive to being trampled on and take many months and years to recover. So even a single trek off the beaten path by a few people or even one person will damage the plant life. It will also disrupt animal life and potentially adjust travel patterns. For example, moss and young ferns are extremely sensitive and fragile.

People should not go off paths.
I think the entire concept of nix is a broken model not fixable by docs and better DX. Precompiled, portable binaries are the way to go which is what mise is built on. Trying to maintain this separate build chain where everything is compiled in a sandbox gives your system a "split-brain" problem where you have the "nix world" and the "macos (or whatever) world". Ultimately, this just causes problems. Of course I'm ignoring NixOS but that's a sledgehammer for this supposed "problem" nix is trying to solve in the first place.

mise is for the 90% of developers that just want things to be fast and work and don't care about the nuts and bolts.
You do pay to exercise your right to vote. There's a certain party that loves the color red that requires an ID to vote. They also require you to have up to date residency information in order to vote. Changes like that require money at the DMV and enable your right to vote.

When I got my CHL in Texas I was required to get a psych eval because I'm a veteran. Here's the form: https://www.dshs.texas.gov/sites/default/files/medical-advis...

Travel insurance is cheap, effective, and available for europeans to purchase in their contry of residence. Using the health services of another country and refusing to pay in an asshole move.

Yes, it takes a brave person to accept that they have to change, and that all their underpinnings of existence are deeply flawed and the cause of the world's sufferings. Ignorance is destructive, my friend, to both our and others' happiness.

Compassion is the Way, and it cannot be argued, from even just a basic systems theoretic standpoint.

The iPhone case made sense. Apple had Mac OS X, which was the system after Mac OS 9. It had major architectural changes, so much so that every major release was always 10.N, where N was a number from 1 to 15, plus a minor version (10.16 became macOS 11). The iPhone X was released on the tenth anniversary of the iPhone.

In both cases the X stood for the roman numeral 10 and the correct pronunciations for the names were “Mac OS ten” and “iPhone ten”. In the iPhone’s case, they even skipped a version (there was never an iPhone 9).
Medicare Advantage is a siphon from Medicare funds to corporate shareholders under the guise of for profit efficiency.
Example: I tried to convince our deployment system to deploy patch releases to simplify our hotfix solution. The code was in Node and the deployment tool in Python. I had to thread the needle to come up with a semver pattern that was legal in both Python and NodeJS. Not impossible but annoying. (Then discovered our deployment tool wasn’t using the semver parser in Python and it still didn’t work. Goddamnit.)

AI chip or even networking chip maker is somewhat incorrect. Marvell makes every kind of chip, will design you a chip, sell you IP, whatever you want.

They started with disk drive controllers, recently they’ve made a decent NVME controller. They bought global foundries custom asic devision in 2019 and that’s when they really got into the custom chip business (according to wikipedia).
Ah, I misread your comment.

I thought "they" was referring to "Gen Zers" (which didn't make sense Gen Z has never been in power) but I guess in "shifting to the right" "the right" was meant as a group rather than a direction (i.e. embracing the right wing rather than moving rightward) and "they" was referring back to that.
I clarified in a sibling comment, I was incorrect about UL listing being required for homeowner’s insurance but UL listing (or testing by another nationally recognized test lab) is required to pass an inspection if you’re hardwiring a piece of equipment, and fires caused by unpermitted DIY electrical work are not covered by insurance.

Amazon does not have audited supply chains. The power supply I linked is sold by Sylvania, it has a warranty, and it’s UL listed, not sold on Amazon by Xfrtteg or Psygwist. You can have quality goods manufactured in China, it’s Amazon that I don’t trust.
Yes, I’m arguing that. Japanese racism against Chinese (and vice versa) is very different from white-black in the states.
You probably know this already but one on one uninterrupted attention, interaction and play are at the very top of the list. Along with consistent calm attitude toward their curiosity, impulse for exploration, their developing sense of self, and expression of their emotions and feelings.

I grew up coding C on djgpp on DOS and I remember seeing win3.11 and Desqview/X and then jumping to an early red hat (CDs ordered through the mail!) with gnome and OpenVMS/CDE

I keep a set of emulated machines that can boot me back into these environments, I click around, play a game for a few minutes, maybe code game of life or a maze solver in C, and then go … “Ha! Those were the days” and then go back to my 4k 120Hz waaaaaay more advanced IDE and say “phew it good to be back, this is way better”

It doesn’t make me feel old or young, but I enjoy the stroll down memory lane every 4-5 months.
In Brazil, health is a constitutional right. Brazil has free, universal, and unlimited healthcare. Public hospitals in large cities are on the same level as private hospitals, and both are excellent.

If you want faster non-emergency care from a private hospital, you can purchase health insurance. Doctors don’t need approval from the insurance company to perform treatments or prescribe drugs. If the drug or treatment is listed on the insurance’s website as covered, it’ll be covered if prescribed by a doctor.

Since public hospitals offer almost all treatments and drugs for free, private hospitals and insurance companies are forced to offer lower prices and support more treatments to compete.

Non-essential surgeries like LASIK are very rarely supported by health insurance in the US, but are covered by most in Brazil.

Despite all of that, the average Brazilian only pays 27.5% in income taxes vs 37% in the US. The US government’s health expenditure per capita is $12k, versus $1.2k in Brazil.

It isn’t perfect, but people in Brazil don’t go bankrupt because of health problems. They don’t have to fight the insurance companies for coverage, they don’t die untreated of cancer, they aren’t afraid of calling an ambulance, and they pay less taxes for it.
