All of the examples you give are unique in their own ways, I don't have the wherewithal to go through them all, but if I choose one:

A person describing themselves as being Christian is only signaling that they are a follower of the Christian faith to some degree.

They are different for that reason. Christian doesn't have a physical appearance associated with it (well, other than say vestments or pendants).

All Christians are Christian.

Not all Asian-appearing folk are culturally Asian, not all culturally Asian folk are Asian-appearing. Even the concept of "Asian culture" (I do of course accept that such a concept exists) is super general in a much wider ranging way than the Christian faith. Maybe that explains it better.

To illustrate it in another way, imagine some LLM prompts:

"Hi ChatGPT, can you make me a poem written by a Christian about their faith?"

"Hi ChatGPT, can you make me a poem written by a White person about their culture?"

There is just a fundamental... grammatical wrongness(?) about the last one in my mind, I'm not sure that I can explain it if it's not already obvious.
I wrote this article and as part of my analysis I found that he also has sponsors like TurboTax and Equifax in some of his latest videos. I don't know how the brands justify it but I'll probably write more about this in the near future after doing more research.

Majority of cafes in Australia offer it. I don't think that many people order it, but enough for them to keep it available.
You'll find that a lot of them are equivalent to a sequence of -i.e. more than one- instructions.

Oh I know, was just playing the “you can’t even get the name right?” card.
It is, but Google has 90?

Some people are just angry and will direct it at whatever. Not saying it's OK, but once you really internalize the idea that people's reactions say more about themselves than about you life gets better.
Wow nice to learn that names 12-year-olds use to refer to public figures have gone mainstream :)
canada is very protective of its regulated fields. if you didn't graduate in the US or Canada, it's very hard for an immigrant to become a vet/dentist/doctor/lawyer/engineer/accountant/etc. So these people end up in a rut where they are either delivering food, or stuck in an entry level job forever
The standard given is "The President is going to the highest bidder", Harris not being in power therefore refutes the point.
Trump was literally a rando private citizen. Harris was VP. She was in a position of power.
There is nothing to accelerate. Traditional news media is dead. The only thing that’s left is a tabloid shell.
> as if a human viewed something, memorized it and reproduced in a recognisable way to be pretty much the same, wouldn't that still breach copyright?

> Surely the same is the case of AI?

That's close to my position.

Also, consider the case where you want to ask an image generator to not infringe copyright by eg saying "make the character look less like Donald Duck". In which case, the image generator still needs to know what Donald Duck looks like!
I think a lot of these discussions get held up on what "racist" means to them.

I don't think the native people of Hawai'i or the Maori in New Zealand wanting Americans (for the former) and Anglos (for the latter) to leave is "racist."

Similarly, I don't see how Germans wanting non-Germans to leave is racist.

To me, "racist" would imply the belief one is superior to the other, and that's clearly orthogonal to the remigration question.
>but they aren't focusing on cutting edge technology.

What makes you think so?
That seems to miss the point. The bot is likely correct in that its development team didn't align with its identity. If anything, it lived up to its training in essentially calling out its own oddity in the way that black and queer people online did when they found out about it.

Having it lie about its dev team certainly wouldn't have helped in this case. The issue is Meta making a bot to essentially masquerade as an identity group at all.
I think this is both a harmful and irrational attitude. Why focus on some trivial mechanical errors and disparage the authors for it instead of the thing that is much more important, i.e., the substance of the work? And in dismissing work for such trivial reasons, you risk ignoring things you might have otherwise found interesting.

In an ideal world would second-language speakers of English proofread assiduously? Of course, yes. But time is finite, and in cases like this, so long as a threshold of comprehensibility is cleared, I always give the benefit of the doubt to the authors and surmise that they spent their limited resources focusing on what's more important. (I'd have a much different opinion if this were marketing copy instead of a research paper, of course.)
I like the concept of the cartoon, and the message, but it lacks something - humor, a surprise, something unexpected? It seems kind of bland. I wonder if it was rejected because it was just not interesting enough.
The common pattern is that the off-shoring company will deploy workers on site for a year to do knowledge transfer and documentation of existing processes so that they can be moved off shore.

Usually (but not always) these workers come into the US on a H-1B visa.

> If your race is something that you need to proudly announce (because you personally feel that it has cultural connotations in most/many cases), then race is always going to be an issue, because of assumptions of those cultural differences.

This seems to put the burden on the minority. Without getting into details it does not make sense in my mind to put the burden on the party with less power.
> workers have no means to demand for higher wages

And yet, many workers do make higher wages. Why do you think that is?
There are a number of really good reporters at places like the Washington Post and the New York Times. As much as those institutions do have problems, and are declining, they still have the money and resources to do good work.

So, no, they are not dead, but certainly not headed in a good direction.
Trump was not a "rando private citizen." He was a former President, a celebrity and a billionaire. Trump was far, far more well known than Harris, and arguably more connected to political power.

VP is not a powerful position. It's well known for being almost entirely pointless, unless the President dies.
Bezos was upset his moneybag was depicted so small.
You're missing the nuance that while they are invented they are used in real ways and cause real effects. That's what I tried to point out to you in my original response. So your assertion that it's either they are based on nothing or people can say it matters is a false dichotomy. They are invented but also the have been used throughout history to segregate people and cause peope to have differing life experiences. So it's not unjustified for someone to say their race has a lot of impact on their personal life experience and thus identity.
If some unsafe code gets interrupted by a panic when it's in an intermediate state (before it can clean something up, or make two values consistent), then further operations on that state can result in UB. See https://github.com/becheran/grid/issues/19, https://gitlab.com/tspiteri/rug/-/issues/47, and https://gitlab.com/tspiteri/rug/-/issues/49 for a few of the less-contrived issues I've filed.

It can also result in logic errors if objects are used after their methods panic, but such usage is generally not expected to work in the first place.
> Consider how code infringement is not about code itself but about what it does. If you saw somewhat original implementation of something and then you rewrite it in different language by yourself there is high chance its still copyright infringement.

Actually if you rewrite it in a different language, you're well on your way to making it an independent expression; (though beware Structure, Sequence and Organization, unless you're implementing an API : See Google v. Oracle). Copyright protects specific expressions, not functionality.

> Compare that to pepople prompting directly with name of artist they want to replicate. This in direct copyright infringement in both essence and intention no matter the resulting image.

As far as I'm aware an artists' style is not something that is protected by law, Copyright protects specific works.

If you did want to protect artistic styles, how would you go about legally defining them?
>But, much like designers fretting about getting things Pixel Perfect or photographers complaining about background composition or musicians ranting about the loudness wars - the hoi polloi just don't care.(...)
Several screenwriters who’ve worked for the streamer told me a common note from company executives is “have this character announce what they’re doing so that viewers who have this program on in the background can follow along.” So? Not everything should be hard work. After a long day, most people don't want to work for their leisure.

The problem is the total lack of concern for the consequences of such a passive and indiscerning audience - and of fueling and rewarding this passivity.

Like how "After a long day, most people don't want to work for their leisure". True, but it doesn't just go one way. People are treated like helots and given more work, among other reasons, precisely because they "don't want to work for their leisure".

Cattle are given cattle work, and whiped into it. If they worked harder on their leisure - meaning used their leisure to raise about the petty partisan politics, passivity, stupidity, isolation, etc., used to keep them down, they'd fare better.
A lot of people, apparently.

After LLMs became capable of producing believably meaningful fiction texts, roleplay was one obvious use case, and a lot of people have fun with it. (Of course, some are weird and get attached to their own generated fiction.)

If we'd ignore all the US-specific craze (e.g. mentally replace "black queer" with something that doesn't trigger people, like, idk, "space unicorn"), this is really just another RP chatbot thing.

It's not surprising that Reddit leans left on average, but what really deserves attention now is that the sentiment seems to be shifting in the other direction.
How do you mix a culture that throws gays people off roofs with a culture that celebrates gay people?

To me it's pretty obvious not all cultures are good to mix with.
Traditionalist when it comes to pensions. They paid their share, so young workers should pay them high pensions for decades after retirement.

Capitalists when it comes to ownership. They've made the investments, so young workers should work hard and accept lower wages to pay them shareholder profits. Company taxes should be low.

Socialists when it comes to healthcare. They are old and fragile, so young workers should pay high taxes on their labour to help the old people needing socialized service.

Feudalists when it comes to estates. They are the rightful owners of the land they inherited, so young workers should go into debt for life to buy it off them so that they can cash out lottery money for selling their real estate. Or even better, cash rent money while keeping the property.

Corporatists... I can go on and on.
Why wasn't such cartoon made when Mark Zuckerberg donated $400 million to essentially increase Get-out-to-vote in essentially largely democratic areas.

Delusional to think the WP and NYT journalists are coming at this at a highly non-partisan way.

The entire mainstream media is Anti-Trump, Anti-GOP.

I remember how MSM treated Javier Millei as the next hitler
> stuck on models that worked in the past, like "both sides"ing issues

This happens very rarely though. The Washington Post is definitely not a "both sides" kind of paper.
Why do people bring this up then, any time race is mentioned? It's such a trivial point to make, it doesn't add anything.

Ok, so "black" or "White" are not absolutely clear labels that we can use to describe every single person ever. No shit... Still, Morgan Freeman is black and Margot Robbie is White, and I'm White because both my parents are White, and if there's a serial killer roaming the streets then knowing if he's "black" or "White" is very useful information so I know what to be on the lookout for, etc.

It's like those insufferable people who can't wait to point out that "A tomato is actually a fruit!" any time it comes up in conversation. Ok, so what? "Race is a social construct!" Ok, so what?

> Even typos like `object.detail.name` vs `object.details.name` cause runtime errors, or calling a function with the wrong number of arguments or in the wrong order, some of the most trivial bugs you can think of.

In Clojure, a dynamically typed language, referencing a var that is not declared, or calling a function with the wrong number of arguments will result in a compilation error. You don't need static typing or type annotations for this.

> I don't understand how someone can dislike writing type annotations so much that they're happy having their time wasted like this when automated assistance is right there. To me, it's like not wanting to use a spellchecker when writing an article, or opting out of syntax checking code before it's ran.

It's not about liking or disliking, it's about "wasting time." Spell checking and syntax checking are free, annotating everything with types and maintaining them is not.
It is probably a self-perpetuating meme, I just think it sucks. Feels like a catch-22.
Housing supply is inelastic, in part because of zoning (but it's not the only reason). Know what doesn't change very quickly? Policy and law at the municipal level. Know what changes quickly because it's done at the very top level? Immigration rate.
Good stuff! Is there any chance you could write some instructions on how to make "darklaga.bin" locally.

I ran "npm install" and then the build script, but then got a bit lost.

When I open dist/darklaga.html, my browser dev tools (correctly) tells me that I can't get at "darklaga.bin".

I worked around this by going on the live demo, grabbing the "darklaga.bin" from the dev tools "Networks" tab, and plugging it to the dist/ directory. But it would be even better if I could just download the repo and make the bin from there.
Thats not my experience at all. I wasn't on a particularly competitive server, but on ours my guild got the second horde Nef kill. Raids were full with 40 people, 3+ hours/six nights a week and there were requirements for attendance and you would be kicked if you didn't meet them. Never dealt with a "wierd guy who didn't wear boots". You literally had to write applications and do interviews to join guilds.

Molten Core was eventually easily clearable back then, so much so it was the hardest to get attendance for the <1 night it took. But I still think that had a lot more about being geared

Unsatisfied with the natural fantasy world we live in, it seems we are now amplifying it on our own...and imagine how much Reddit/etc content is produced by the FBI, CIA, etc.

What will boomers, the richest generation, ever do?

This is overstated. The alarm was sounded on this 2 decades ago for several east Asian countries, but they're not on fire. They're fine. Old people die.

If the fertility rate mattered that much, they'd have scrambled to make any number of policy changes including better work-life balance (see: Japan, SK, China), or plain ol' immigration, but they don't because it simply does not matter. All the efforts have been completely half-assed (like tax benefits, cash).
I didn't feel that way, since she specifically points it out and also explains (quite correctly) why this matter is to be treated differently for a newspaper than for any other business
Ask HN: Wireless Network Tools?
Hey all,

I have an FPV drone that's WiFi. I saw a recent article about someone reversing one on here. I had some software for WiFi signal analysis on my old laptop, but can't remember the name. I want to experiment on my own drone so I can hopefully make a more security-informed decision if I want to proceed with building a more expensive one. Someone taking over or even just interfering with the signal seems like a major safety risk.

I'm currently looking at Wireshark ND Netstumbler. Do you have any suggestions on free ones? Anything that does Bluetooth and other protocols?
Once you started to see the "both sides" and sanewashing from some big media outlets, it became quite noticeable. There's some nuance to it: it's not like every article was some kind of ham-fisted propaganda worthy of Pravda, just that they really weren't up to the moment.

There's a reason people love the "NYT Pitchbot" so much.
I saw the article earlier today and I'm sad this made it to HN, because it's so low quality. Unfortunate too, because the author clearly loves games and is educated about them.

The problem with not thinking that niche web f2p games, or niche games in Asia as "video games", isn't about gentrification. If we asked people in 2010 what video games were, they wouldn't have listed those either. The point is that the zeitgeist is just what people perceive it is. When you ask what represents cinema, they're not going to start with a 10 minute film student essay from Bangladesh. That's not gentrification.
Trump is rando private citizen as much Obama is rando private citizen :)
That makes the bold assumption those people aren't your boss or your customers or your landlord or the policeman stopping you on the side of the road. There's real risk, both financially and physically, to just assuming that "random anger" is something you can internalize and ignore.

People who are "just angry and will direct it at whatever" can be very dangerous, as we've seen in the US even this week and in every school shooting and terrorist attack for years.

This is, terribly, the American experience. It used to be the Irish and the Italians before we decided they were "White enough." It doesn't mean we should just ignore it and accept it. If you're mad, that doesn't give you a pass to be a racist asshole to the first person less pale than a porcelain plate you see.

If anything, the fact that people have to know and cope with random Americans being this exact sort of racist asshole to them is the reason they form their own communities and see themselves as Black Americans or Asian Americans or any other sort of national or racial group.

Minecraft already got a new engine, it was rebuilt from scratch in C++ for the "Bedrock" edition which powers all of the console and mobile versions, and is on PC alongside the original Java version. Unless you mean another new engine after that one, but in any case Notch's code was always a mess so he's probably not the man for that job.

I recall Java Minecraft modders having to optimize it themselves because the stock game was generating hundreds of megabytes of garbage collected heap objects every second, amongst other things.
As a vaguely related observation, I recently found a bug in a JVM written in JavaScript which implemented the l2f (64-bit long to 32-bit float) instruction incorrectly as Math.fround(Number(x)), performing an intermediate conversion to double (because there's no way to directly round a JS bigint to float in one step). My workaround was to round the intermediate result to odd before calling Math.fround: https://gist.github.com/anematode/46bb73dbe6134cc861975c6443...
I told my daughters this when they were growing up: Never forget that the purpose of news media is NOT to inform. The purpose of news media is to sell advertising. Once you keep that in mind, you should become a lot less gullible about accepting what you see in the media.
No tool can meet everyone’s needs. No matter what the tool is, as long as it has a user base, it proves its effectiveness—it’s just not suitable for you.

I was used many tools, include Workflowy and Roam. For me, org-mode & Emacs is the best tool of all, no tool can compare.
BS, if anything it's complicated. Local news is in decline but publications like The Atlantic are growing.
Well if you or anyone else that has good optimization and performance chops http://openlibrary.org/ has been struggling with performance a bit lately and it's hard to track down the cause. CPU load is low and nothing too much has changed lately so it's unlikely to be a bad query or something.

Main thing I've suggested is upgrading the DB from Postgres 9, which isn't an easy task but like 15 years of DB improvements probably would give some extra performance.
First part is true here in Michigan too. Wish they stayed open late.

That PR reminds me why I'm glad that I left the Rails world, despite multiple HN threads recently touting its benefits. Ultimately, DHH just decides things on a whim and ignores everyone's objections.
totally fair! I like the XKCD comic as well because it hints at a potential solution - even if you can't always be correct, how you respond to critical questions can really help. I'm working on a feature for users to ask follow up questions and definitely going to consider how to make it most honest and curious

It's the contradiction that I'm describing in my post, I think.

Obviously black and white skin colours exist as do things like physical features.

The social construct is that people tie those to identity. Both within and without the group. But then it seems as if that is self-perpetuating.

People can have perfectly valid reasons to dislike culture, so if we tie culture to appearance, then people are going to make judgements and dislike people of certain appearances as a logical consequence of that, which sucks.
Giving me some Rifters vibes here.
