I mean… they represent two very different acts, albeit with the same outcome. It makes sense that we use different words for it.

We even draw the distinction between degrees of murder since sitting down and planning a murder in cold blood (murder in the first degree) is far different than a road rage incident with a gun (murder 2) which is different still than a shove in a bar where someone falls down and hits their head and dies (manslaughter). Hell, some places even distinguish between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter.

The point is that all these words have meaning, and we deeply care about the nuance.

I happened to have been triaging LLM observability, dataset, and eval solutions yesterday at the day job, and congratulations, Langfuse was the second solution that I tried, and simple enough to get set up locally with my existing stack for me to stop looking (ye olde time constraints, and I know good-enough when I see it!)

Thanks for your and your team’s work.
Good for Puppet. A lot of people still use it. Sucks that Puppet and Chef got acquired by stuffy oldco's. Only Ansible got the upper hand in the Great Config Management Contraction (Red Hat).
IMHO, optimally there should be no force (regulation) necessary at all. It'd be much more beneficial if manufacturers saw the benefits because consumers choose according to the benefits they see. Sometimes we have to ask to make a need known - esp. if we're willing to pay a premium for it. So I see the ball in our park. If there's demand but no supply, we found a niche.
I'd certainly like for that to happen. The argument seems compelling, though I don't know anywhere near enough law to tell for sure.

I'd also suspect that the Supreme Court is perfectly capable of overturning it. Just say that the Archivist did wrongly by including it.
Very cool! Should add a mode to tell me people if they _can_ run it.

It would be a complex situation in the US at least.

The issue is the Right to Work states. If your childcare is tied to your employment, and you can lose your job at any time, you then can lose your childcare at any time. That sets up incentives that become rather ugly rather fast.

Add in that there are typically long wait lists for childcare, the emotional ties, childcare workers' incentives, and the costs that are universal for the US. It's not even close to a simple decision for anyone.

Personally, I wouldn't use such childcare if it were comparable to other providers. It would have to be significantly cheaper or free to consider it.

It's a compelling picture, but it seems like it would be rather harmful for real whales, and if chances are it's a drone rather than a whale, several actors might choose to fire regardless and find out later.
Not that whales are the only option to mimic, but whatever is chosen had better be common enough to make the drones rare by comparison, and stay that way.

Jellyfish might be a nice option when conditions permit...

This is why laws should sunset after some period of time, maybe 50 years, maybe 100 years. At that time they should be reviewed, debated again, and decisions made as to whether each law should be renewed as-is, revised, or (the default) allowed to lapse.

The software industry has zero concept of how much pain and suffering passkeys are going to cause the average person, almost entirely because the average American has an iPhone and a Windows laptop and there's literally nothing built-in to iOS or Windows that will sync passkeys between these two devices. The world's most popular password managers are Excel and Apple Notes, in that order; these apps do not support Passkeys.

Passkeys are not going to happen, and its the industry's fault. Its a bad standard that solves some problems the industry itself has, by creating more problems for consumers. If you force consumers to move to only-passkeys, you're going to lose customers, and it might not even be their choice, you're just making the decision to lock people out.
We've been using it to connect multiple advertising sources, including Facebook, Google, and TikTok, with our ad publishing systems.

It feels like global disposable income isn’t growing but that’s not true because the list of necessities increase the more income increases, if you lived like a person in the 90’s did you could save a huge amount of money,
One of the major things governments should be doing and largely aren't is publishing open source software (e.g. BSD license) for regulatory compliance. Not just a tax filing website, the actual rules engine that some government lawyers have certified as producing legally-compliant filings.

The point being to allow members of the public to submit a pull request and have their contributions incorporated into the officially-certified codebase if it's accepted, so the code ends up being actually good because the users (i.e. the public) are given the opportunity to fix what irks them.
Show HN: Adventures in OCR
Hello HN!

In a recent "Ask HN: What are you working on?" thread, I mentioned I was working on OCRing a large book:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41971614

The post generated some interest so I thought I would keep HN posted.

The book is Saint-Simon’s Memoirs -- an invaluable historical account of the French court under Louis XIV, full of wit, sharp observations, and of incredible literary value. I'm OCRing the edition of reference made between 1879-1930, that contains a lot of comments and footnotes: 45 volumes, ~27,000 pages.

Here's a link to a blog post that describes the techniques used so far (the project is still ongoing):

But you may also directly access the result here:

This web app (not optimized for mobile, sorry) solves a tricky problem of preloading images efficiently. In short: preloading the next image isn't enough, since browsers will repaint if an image is moved, or scaled. Or browsers won't paint at all if visibility is hidden or opacity is zero, and will paint only when those values change. On an average, slow machine, this takes visible time. But if an image is simply behind another element, it will be painted, and the removal of the covering element or changing the z-index will not trigger a repaint.

(Preloading is important because it lets one review results fast; if one has to wait 150-200 ms between images it's simply discouraging).

Would love to hear feedback; happy to answer any question!
Why Companies Overspend on Recruiting and Underspend on Retention
I’m not shocked they shipped. This is their mo now. Same as the apple maps rollout. Big fanfare about some feature competitors already had that apple would clone and do it better because apple. Apple releases it and its laughably worse. Apple wins the long game for some users because they privilege their app in the os relative to the third party option. And repeat for next feature.
This isn't how laws work. If you give a layperson a large law and tell him that, if he is in violation, he has to pay millions, then it pretty much doesn't matter that there is some way where, with some effort, he can comply. Most people aren't lawyers and figuring out how to actually comply with this is incredibly tedious and risky, as he is personally liable for any mistakes he makes interpreting those laws.

Companies have legal departments, which exist to figure out answers to questions like that. This is because these questions are extremely tricky and the answers might even change as case law trickles in or rules get revised.

Expecting individuals to interpret complex rulesets under threat of legal liability is a very good way to make sure these people stop what they are doing.
If anyone is wondering why nVidia is dominant, it's because this guy can run the same CUDA stuff as the $30000 H100

So everyone can play around and develop for it. That's how you get to software dominance, and then can reap the rewards.

GP doesn't seem to mention password managers. The nice thing about password managers vs passkeys is they need not be locked to a particular device or platform. I can sync the same database of credentials between my phone, pc, and laptop without worrying if they are from the same vendor. I can export backups. I can access it through my personal website on any device (assuming I also remember my personal website login too) if desperate.

The problem with passkeys isn't the concept, it's the lack of flexibility in implementation.
When the end of Spotify Car Thing was announced this is what I expected. I thought these perfectly good devices had been built on license encumbered libraries that would prohibit open sourcing the code, and that all those hardware devices would go to waste. Thankfully that was not the case, but most of the time it is. It's amazing how much licensing controls how software is used, and thus how much systems and software designers should consider the license of the libraries and frameworks they choose.

The risk is of the rhetorical winter taking too long to roll around, and mirror life forms managing to hold on for long enough to gain the ability to feed on non-mirrored nutrients. In the worst-case scenario, with no predators, they could rapidly outcompete and replace the bottom end of the ecosystem, resulting in the collapse of everything above, which would be far worse than the slow-growing infectious diseases described in the article.

Expecting people to read and correctly interpret complex legal documents is absurd. Obviously any lay person is heavily dissuaded by that.

Thanks for all your work buro9! I've been an lfgss user for 15 years. This closure as a result of bureaucratic overreach is a great cultural loss to the world (I'm in Canada). The zany antics and banter of the London biking community provided me, and my contacts with which I have shared, many interesting thoughts, opinions, points of view, and memes, from the unique and authentic London local point of view.

LFGSS is more culturally relevant than the BBC!

Of course governments and regulations will fail realize what they have till it's gone.

There is a pretty good argument that this should be required for copyright protection. The point of copyright is supposed to be to ultimately get works for the public domain, when the copyright expires. If the source code has never been released then it's failing at its purpose. Once a work is in the public domain the public is supposed to be able to make derivatives etc. So to have copyright protection for software you should have to release the source code.
Not the guy you replied to, but pretty frequently economic stagnation is caused because folks are stuck in an inefficient local minimum.

To end a period of recession or stagnation, governments almost always have to cause unemployment (or respond to natural unemployment) to force people to change jobs.

This is why Chairman Volcker is remembered so villanously and President Reagan is lionized.

Volcker ended stagflation under both Carter and Reagan by dramatically raising interest rates for a few years.

This led to 11% unemployment, but once folks had found new jobs Reagan was able to preside over an era of strong growth.
Kinda agree with the other replies to you, the edge case you carved out is the target use case, this is not meant to compete against the 3060, it's meant to be put on robots or other embedded use cases (even as a devkit). 3060 has more juice but it draws 170w vs 25w for the Orin nano (with 15w and 7w modes), and is much smaller.

Knowledge-based access (something only stored in your head) has Constitutional protection in the United States. The same is probably not true for physical things such as phones and YubiKeys stored in your pocket.

Not that I worry about that, but it is worth pointing out that you may lose some legal protections when you use physical things rather than your knowledge.
I will not attend any more funerals, unless I get the church to stay out of it. The priests at the last events I attended to did not know the diseased. Even the wedding speeches I heard took place with nothing concrete on the people in questions.
As for mostly church funerals in my significant others or my family:
- Boring while overwhelming,
- a farce since everyone planning it is either fighting or not caring enough to start a fight,
- and not at all about dealing with death in a good way (grief, laughter, moving on. Something cultural should happen, but no one at the events ever found it. Only jealousy and nepotism were present if you heard any discussion about real values of having those funerals. And those came up behind closed doors.)

It is about growth and function. Function is manipulated to foster growth. That is the process of enshitification.

And the growth here is not specifically about HN, but also YC and the "growth" of consent. Eg. "tech is good"

In my locale, every time there are budget cuts or cost increases it is the popular and the visible government functions which get the axe. I.e. The parks department has four layers of management and manages a ton of no-bid contracts, but swimming pools will be closed rather than building cheaper in-house expertise. I guess it's better than deferring essential maintenance, but somehow I suspect maintenance is also already being overly deferred. One wishes they would take an axe to Parkinson's law of growth instead.
Per the article, it has not just the business cycle:

If Microsoft really wants to push passkeys, why do they require Microsoft Authenticator for passwordless accounts? I already have a passkey set up and I'd be perfectly happy to delete my password, but I can't because I don't want yet another authenticator app exclusively for an account I barely use.

Swift doesn't support most OSes as well as Rust does. It also has a smaller/worse standard library and much fewer developers.

It's definitely a difficult problem, but it doesn't have to be perfect to be valuable. Human lawyers aren't perfect either.

Most legal issues people have are have clear answers, and the AI should be err on the side of admitting it doesn't have a certain answer.
It is public key cryptography. You give websites your public key, and keep your private key hidden. When you sign in to a website, they send you a nonce. You then digitally sign the nonce with your private key. They verify that the signature was signed with your private key, allowing you to log in.

There is no private info (aka a password) going out in public so you don't have to trust anyone to keep your password secret.

It greatly reduces the attack surface of logging in, but the attack surface is moved to the weakest part of the system, aka the user.
Similar to how you regulate any mass media channels (TV, Radio, etc). You have a regulator in place, for example, anyone with +10.000 followers, or who gets +10.000 views should be considered a person of influence and be liable for their claims.

I agree with you, I think everything should be made public, including influencers' income statements.

Thankfully there are laws in place, and the point is more laws should be in place to make people liable for disinformation.
The U.K. is jailing people for mean tweets, and has been for a while:

- "More than 30 people found themselves arrested over social media posts. From what I’ve found, at least 17 of those have been charged." -- the BBC, this is specifically for the Southport riots. They have been doing this for years, of course.[1]

- "First people jailed over social media posts during unrest 9 August

Today's live coverage has mainly come from the courts, with jail sentences handed down for those involved in the violent disorder since the fatal stabbings in Southport last Monday.

Here's a quick summary of key events today:

In the first case of a person going to jail for posting on social media during the disorder, Jordan Parlour, 28, of Seacroft, Leeds, received a 20 month sentence for inciting others to target a Leeds building which housed asylum seekers
At least two others also received jail sentences for social media posts that stirred up racial hatred

Suspended Labour councillor Ricky Jones appeared in court charged with encouraging violent disorder after he was filmed apparently telling a crowd that far-right demonstrators should have their throats cut
6000 officers with specialist training in public order are "prepared and ready" to deal with any potential unrest over the weekend
About 600 people have been arrested this week with hundreds more expected in the coming days and weeks, police say, with the use of facial recognition technology fast tracking the process "[2]

- This woman merely livestreamed other people doing naughty things, and called some people "tramps". "Much of the TikTok stream had been rather amateurish, Mr Rudge argued, giving a view of the cobblestones in Tamworth but showing no acts of violence." LOL. 9 months in prison. [3]

- More: [4]

- More: [5]

- "This is in relation to some comments you made on Facebook (police arrest old man in his home, good video): [6]

- "We do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media to look for this material, and then follow up with arrests." - Director of Public Prosecutions for England and Wales. Video worth a watch. [7]

-

Punishment is often also extremely swift. Facebook video --> court --> prison in a matter of a week and a half. Of course, if you stand accused of e.g. raping children, it will take a year and a half.

This country has gone right off a cliff and is currently in free-fall.

It’s because it’s easier. Here’s what an Apple user experiences for creating an account or signing in:

1. Tap the login with Face ID button

2. Tap to approve it

It’s even faster than using a password manager without MFA but safer than password+MFA, and you aren’t spending any time goofing around with some poser’s password complexity policy or rotating your password when their servers are breached.
