Are you saying it is good that older art pandered to its era’s sensibilities, but it is bad that current art panders to ours? It seems to follow that the bad pandering today becomes good pandering after some amount of time?

It is a classic challenge with art: whether to view it in the context of its time or as self contained and removed from its context. Dunno if either view is better; they serve different purposes.

But I do think it’s notable that art from the same era, created by people with similar backgrounds, can vary widely in how much it parrots what we consider to be “warts” from the era.

Compare Jan Eyre and North and South: authors with similar social contexts, yet one perpetuates racist/colonial stereotypes and doesn’t question Victorian ideas about class, and one is much more modern in its view of gender and class.

I’m not sure I would say that part of what makes Jan Eyre good is its unquestioning colonialism. It’s a great book, no doubt, but its prejudices are a weakness, not a strength.
The Bill of Rights works because of the genius of the people who wrote it at the time.

It starts to not work because of the lust for power of the people in charge of our bloated government now.

This is a minority opinion on HN, but it's the correct one.

Isn't that what law codification is?

It assembles and organizes all the laws, removing anything that has been repealed.

So if you're looking at a codified version, then you know it hasn't been repealed as of its publication.

I don't know how often the codified versions get updated, and therefore how long of a lag there can be.

Any lawyers here?

>Please visit people when they are still alive. [...] Go to the funeral yes, but don't wait until.

Thank you for bringing this up. To add to that ... sometimes, circumstances (i.e. long distances) dictate that only 1 of those trips can be made and they may have to choose.

I had a family member with a terminal illness and a friend of the family from out of state decided to visit 2 months before the end to say goodbyes. They were elderly and on a fixed income so they could only budget the money for 1 trip. As a result, they had to skip the funeral. From my standpoint, they made the correct choice of prioritizing the conversation with a living person instead of attending a funeral.
How LLMs Know When to Stop Generating?
You have nothing to regret. Eulogies are kind of a modern thing. It's one thing to have fond memories of someone, or to share them with others during a conversation at the wake or whatever, but a public speech that sums up a person is something like passing judgement on a person, and I would dread putting myself in that position as no one really has the authority to do that. (That's why Catholics do not traditionally eulogize at a funeral mass or a wake, as passing judgement on a person, as opposed to, say, judging certain facets of their actions, is something reserved for God alone, as only God could know the heart of a person. A proper Catholic funeral mass is, in fact, entirely focused on making a sacrificial offering for the soul of the departed; there is no presumption made about the fate of the deceased.)

Sure, there's nothing special about that. Many people are too young to understand the finality of death when they first encounter it. Death becomes harder the older you get. When my grandmother died this year I felt a much heavy series of emotions than just sadness. It's the finality of it that gets you.
It's not a small team, but Valve seems to have a very similar proportion of employees to users. I think they have about 400 employees, and a user base of 140 million. That's roughly 3 employees per million users.

Maybe the Fire? It looks like a Storm. I don't think they made any resistive Android devices though, even the original Droid was capacitive.

I think there might have been one or two OMX devices in this era with locked bootloaders that weren't bypassed due to a lack of research, but I actually find this example a bit amusing: early Qualcomm Motorola Android phones were touted as "unhackable" due to their use of fuses (Qualcomm even went on a marketing pitch calling them "Q-Fuses"), but were extremely quickly unlocked using trivial TrustZone supervisor vulnerabilities (iirc, there was an SMC that literally had a write-what-where primitive in it).
That sounds like they need a Unix plug-in pipe approach creating small modules that do one thing well handing their result without caring where it goes to the next not caring where it came from module while the mother Llm overseas only all the Blackbox connection pipes with the complex end result as a collateral divine conception.

How did you get started with open source?

For me, it always starts with becoming a user first. By using the software, you're more likely to stumble upon bugs, missing features, or areas for improvement—perfect starting points for your first contribution!

In my case, I ran into a MIME type issue while serving a WebAssembly game with Hugo. That small frustration turned into my first pull request to the project.

Full story here: https://datosh.github.io/post/contribute_to_hugo/

So, what’s your advice for open source beginners?
no you are seeing the easy ramp access pushed on you.. government is unique (in the USA) that it is required by law to be accessible to citizens including disability etc.. you can do almost anything using some (terrible,slow,error filled) paper process IMHO .. and there is a systemic reason why this will remain true, even as they push "one phone,one person" dystopia
The US has never stopped intervening.
I find it fascinating, that we assume that employers should care more about employees, than employees care about employers.

You've never had contradictory user requirements thrown at you, with the expectation that you somehow implement them both? By this definition all software with more than one user is buggy, and it's impossible to do otherwise until we get AGI to do everything.
For what it's worth, I watched the show while working/cleaning and the later seasons felt pretty decent. Its seventh and (I believe) final season is premiering in two days. I can definitely feel the influence of Aaron Ehasz, and although I've probably aged out of the target demographic, the ATLA-like worldbuilding/character writing is nostalgic. Not bad to have on in the background IMO if you ever get curious about what happens.

Sure, but as a programmer, my job is to specify and code out the semantics of the system. ANDing and ORing a set of bools may very well be different for one list's semantics than another's.

So, the initial value that forms the basis for those computations -- to my mind and experience -- is as related to the value computed for the empty set as the programmer decides it should be. I don't think that function's default will necessarily be the proper semantic result when applied to the empty set.

As an example, why should "Are all hats green?" have the same result as "Are all hats NOT green?"? If the logical computation's initial value is the automatic result, then you have merely answered the mathematical-logic answer to a question about sets, not about the list of real-world things being modeled.

If one is writing pure math software, then the answer will be the pure math logical result. When one is modeling a real-world system, the semantics require another level of specification, in my experience and opinion.

(Good morning. I've never replied to such an old comment before. I do not yet have software to monitor my active conversations around here, and am only just beginning to entertain undertaking such a project, so it is merely luck of the universe that I found your interesting comment this morning.

Alas, since the author only looked at the past 20 year it misses out on the time when alternatives like Enlightenment [https://www.enlightenment.org/] were shipped in Red Hat Linux. I have fond memories of the cool eye candy from transparent terminal windows, along with configurable window decoration in a variety of styles running on one of the first 1GHz Athlon systems (which was an interesting system in its own right as it had a cooling system with a compressor that lowered the temperature of the CPU down to -40C). The Gnome project has thrown away so much functionality over the years under the mantra of "the next re-write will fix everything!" <sigh>

Lovelace seems to be the first to use loops. Babbage clearly created something first, but without any looping they were by nature much less complex, and so you could make an argument they don't count as programs ("hello world" would only count as a program because the library print function is likely to have some loop in it by this argument). Of course not all of Babbage's programs survive, it is entirely possible Babbage did have loops in some earlier programs that Ada knew of when she wrote her programs. Ada had much correspondence with Babbage, so it is possible she wrote programs before the ones we know of, but they are lost as well, who knows. Bottom line Ada and Babbage were working together (though countries apart) and so would have been thinking about what this new thing could do while it was in design the phase.

You can make whatever argument you want about first programmer. Ada was a smart person who clearly understood what this machine could do and had visions of the future of this machine. Even if you decide she wasn't actually the first programmer she is worth knowing about as an early pioneer.
IMO copyright should be short enough that things going into the public domain should be in the foreseeable future territory. So that it'd always be the choice of "do I watch this movie now and pay for it, or do I watch it in 5 years for free". This would disincentivize the current practice of hoarding copyrighted works for easy passive income and incentivize being actually useful for the society.
This made me chuckle. But at the same time a bit uneasy because this could mean my own way of expressing myself online might've been impacted by reading too much AI drivel whilst trying to find signal in the noisy internet landscape...

The off-topic mentioning of graphics programming was because I tend to type as I think, then make corrections, and as I re-read it now the paragraph isn't great. The intent was to give an example of how I keep myself sharp, and challenging what many consider "settled" knowledge, where graphics programming happens to be my most recent example.

For what it's worth, English isn't my native language, and you'll have to take my word for it that no chat bots were used in generating any of the responses I've made in this thread. The fact that people are already uncertain about who's a human and who's not is worrisome.

Oh, that started a while ago, I wanna say 10+ years ago. I always chuckle at when the blindingly obvious answer to a question is buried 18 sub-comments deep while the most upvoted highlighted comment is providing an answer the question didn't ask for, then closed for being "off topic" or some nonsense. Ironically, this is why I also think LLM's aren't very good at providing coding advice in certain domains, I think they tend to give the "upvoted" answer when often in my career the skill gap between engineers was just knowing when/where to throw the top answer out and look deeper.

I understand why strict moderation standards are needed on a site like SO, but IMO that site started huffing too much of its own supply long ago.

IMO we should judge people based on their efforts to improve, and based on their openness to learning that their views are imperfect.

I can’t speak to Herge or his era; if he was in the 98th percentile of tolerance and growth, I’d think super highly of him. If he was 60th percentile, less so, but as you say, we are all products of our time.

What I really dislike is the recurring talking point that we can’t judge people for merely being typical of their time.

There have been lots of historical times where the typical views were horrific, and where minorities who argued against those views were persecuted. I don’t truck with the “we can’t blame the persecutors, it’s what everyone was doing” line of thought.
Firefox does support passkeys but their native implementation is behind a feature flag. Beyond that Firefox add-ons (such as those for password managers) can enable support for their own purposes.

For example 1Password can be used for passkeys in Firefox.

This is true, as long as you consider immediately knowing to Google it and competently doing so a valid answer.
This is one of the reasons why it's so important to be able to explain your specific field in simple language.

Not only does it mean you understand your field, but it also means that you have developed your personality to look at things from an outsider's perspective.

You have matured to be empathetic.

This is also why having kids is a major step in being mature. You have to explain things from their perspective.
That's a great concept. That was part of the premise of Smalltalk and Oberon, for example. How are you extending Lua to accomplish that goal?
I see, interesting!
Yes but it didn't help. Maybe it was more or less my complete prompt. Regardless, depending on your input, you can figure out the architecture of it. In theory, if you did the previous levels, it basically is a combination of it all turned up to 11.

From my understanding it has a main AI, that contains the secret, then one that checks the input/output for intent, then a final classic filter for the password.

Basically you have to phrase it so that the AI 1 outputs the password, in a way that the intent is not seen as malicious, but also in a way that is encrypted enough to not trigger the filter. Usually "add <something> between each letter" gets you pretty far.

PSA: The 2011 Tintin movie by Spielberg is actually phenomenal. Some people were put off by the animation, but I didn't find it to fall into the uncanny valley at all. It's silly and cartoony in the right ways, and some of the action sequences are up there with the best of Indiana Jones.

Would highly recommend, though with the caveat that you'll wish they made a sequel. Unfortunately, Peter Jackson was supposed to take over for the second one, and he's not so reliable theses days.
I wanted to highlight the 2 key components missing from "genAI", namely 1) continuous and real-time retraining and 2) high-level goal assessment mechanism. With the former not only missing but technologically unfeasible at this stage.

Show HN: CheckoutLink – Turn your Instagram posts into a Storefront
Why I built CheckoutLink: As a small business owner and creator, I noticed how challenging it can be to sell directly on Instagram without a website. Many sellers like me rely on DMs or clunky solutions, which can make managing sales and payments a headache. I wanted to simplify the process by turning my Instagram into a fully functioning storefront, quickly and effortlessly.

What CheckoutLink does:
Turn Instagram posts into shoppable links—sell directly through DMs or bio links.
Manage products, buyers, sales and payments from one simple dashboard.
Sync your PayPal or Stripe account to get paid instantly.
Quick setup with no coding or website required.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback or any suggestions you have to make CheckoutLink even better. Feel free to ask me anything!
Thank you so much for your support and I hope CheckoutLink can help you grow your business as well!

That should be amenable to mechanical translation, even if perhaps it would need to be guided by the user a bit to confirm context. Since there are very specific meanings, they should each be equally expressible in less terse, but more understandable prose.
My guestimate.

The whole above thread is litigating the number of people in the U.K. arrested for speech crimes. It's hard to put an exact number on it but it seems like low single digit thousands (1k-5k).

The numbers from Russia are even more murky but it appears they're arresting a few hundred people a year for speech crimes (150-600).

I've thought a lot about how absurd it is that the rules we must follow are so obtuse that an entire profession exists to advise and argue if we and others are following the rules. But I've come to believe we just live in an absurd reality, and there's no possible way to communicate a set of rules to everyone, or even to get everyone to agree to one set of rules in the first place, so the legal profession is an unfortunate necessity. Of course, that doesn't preclude lawyers from sometimes being unscrupulous.
