I had a brief (one week) love affair with Wubuntu because it tried as much as possible to have everything with the same name in the same menu in the same location etc. etc. as Windows 11. People spend years building up their muscle memory and hate having to throw it away...then I found out it was basically a malware distro. Pity. I'm always looking for the perfect distro I would reccommend to Grandma.

I'm still a distro hopper. Pop_OS! and Cinnamon Mint until something better comes along.

> Pretty much all developed countries do fairly well on rapid access to emergency care.

I was talking to a taxi driver in SF a few years ago. He said he was in a car accident once, and his car rolled and flipped upside down. The police & an ambulance showed up. Even though he seemed mostly ok they still wanted take him to hospital. But he couldn't afford the ambulance or the hospital - without health insurance, it would have bankrupted him. So he told them all to get lost.

In telling the story, he got kind of angry about it - I think he was mad how pushy the police and ambulance people were about the whole thing.

Thats vaguely horrifying to me. A man who was just in a car accident should never be put in a situation like this. If you're wealthy in america, yeah - you get top notch medical treatment. But I'm not sure I'd call that a successful system for emergency care.
WRT gaming its mostly just some anti cheat that is standing in the way, like Ars [1] so gently put it:

> As detailed in the r/macgaming subreddit and at r/SteamDeck, many players who successfully got Marvel Rivals working would receive a "Penalty Issued" notice, with a violation "detected" and bans issued until 2124. Should such a ban stand, players risked entirely missing the
much-prophesied Year of the Linux Desktop or Mainstream Mac Gaming, almost certain to happen at some point in that span.

For non-gaming, things are not moving fast enough. Microsoft Office and Adobe CS is still complicated to get running, if possible at all with recent versions.

Were those obstacles installed by the airport though? I thought it was like stuff on land outside of the airport for those other examples.
I totally agree. And not only is it unintuitive, it's bad for layout performance!
What more substance is there?
ChromeOS Flex is a great option for older hardware. Easy to install. Secure. Easy. Regular updates.
No need to apologise, the contrast is worthy of some reflection.

Australia does somewhat better than the US, but it's sharply broken on various demographics leading to rate quotes ranging from 32%, to 50%, to 60% (close to the US) depending on which populations are focused on.

FWiW the US inspires much health, education, prison, etc. policy here .. albeit more often as a counter point or warning.
“ None of the database guides I followed had warned me about the dangers of exposing a docker containerized database to the internet.”

Unless you want it publicly available and expect people to try and illegitimately access it, never expose it to the internet.
>Tell her she is wrong. It's an international airport with commercial traffic. 11th most busiest airport in the country.[0]

11th out of 15 total, servicing about 4 flights / 630 passengers per day on average using the very same statistics you've linked. That sounds like a pretty small airport to me, both in absolute and relative terms.

"International airport" means very little outside of large nations like the US, Russia, Canada, Brazil or China. Most nations are small enough that there's at least as many foreign airports within a few hundred kilometers as there are domestic ones, and therefore every airport may as well be an international airport.
Unless we get a stable ecosystem for closed source apps and drivers it is not going to happen. Android is the very example of that. A closed source software friendly OS with the backing of a tech giant. It also has to provide an almost complete translation layer. Wine is fine for simpler programs using contained APIs like games. It is far behind for any business app.

The polishing required for the masses requires people with huge talent and years of experience to work on the software. That talent doesn't want to work for scraps. So unless a tech giant decides to hedge tens of billions against Apple and Microsoft and give it away for free like Google did with Android, we are not going to get an OS that has good OOTB experience and a thriving business grade software.

That link doesn't point directly to data, only an expired event. What is the link please? For state-level data, did you mean: https://www.sentencingproject.org/research/detailed-state-da...
I think you missed the "Use it if you want" part.

Both Chrome and Firefox will get you to the HTTPS website even though the link starts with "http://", and it works, what more do you want?

You have to type "http://" explicitly, or use something that is not a typical browser to get the unencrypted HTTP version. And if that's what you are doing, that's probably what you want. There are plenty of reasons why, some you may not agree with, but the important part that the website doesn't try to force you.

That's the entire point of this article, users and their browsers know what they are doing, just give then what they ask for, no more, no less.

I also have a personal opinion that SSL/TLS played a significant part in "what's wrong with the internet today". Essentially, it is the cornerstone of the commercial web, and the commercial web, as much as we love to criticize it, brought a lot of great things. But also a few not so great ones, and for a non-commercial website like this one, I think having the option of accessing it the old (unencrypted) way is a nice thing.

I wrote a long comment here but I don't think detail is helping. So:

* There is no unified government of Yemen, no central organization controls all Yemeni territory, Ansar Allah continues to fight for territorial control, particularly in Marib and around Taizz.

* There are no Americans in Yemen for Ansar Allah to fight, there are no Israelis there to fight, and the British haven't been in Aden for over 50 years.

* Ansar Allah adopted the Khomeinist "Death To America" chant to galvanize supporters for their Zaydi Rivalist movement, but their actual military targets are all Yemenis inside of Yemen. Far from unifying the different factions in the areas they control, they make government employees sign pledges to support the revival of the Imamate and its Sada caste system.

Does the idea of a single cosmological time even make sense? I thought one of the key parts of relativity is that which events happen simultaneously depends on your perspective.
I don't think that there will necessarily be an arms race. Some security problems are deterministically solvable and don't need AI.

For instance, there is a very good classical algorithm for preventing password brute-forcing - exponential backoff on failure per IP address, maybe with some additional per-account backoff as well. Combined with sane password rules (e.g. correct horse battery staple, not "you must have one character from every language in Madagascar), make password brute-forcing infeasible, and force attackers to try other approaches - which in the security world counts as success. No AI needed.
The web version of Word is a bad joke. I couldn’t even use it for editing a story the last time I tried it because it either didn’t have change tracking or it didn’t work correctly. At least the iOS app is useable.

Show HN: We built a Chrome extension to check facts and detect media bias
Hey HN,

We’ve been working on a Chrome extension called Sidecar, designed to make browsing safer and more informed by providing fact-checking, bias detection, and toxicity analysis for AI chats and web content (on any website).

The idea:

With the rise of generative AI and vast online content, misinformation, bias, and harmful content seem to be everywhere. Sidecar acts as a companion to verify information in real-time.

When you highlight text on a webpage, the Sidecar pigeon icon appears, giving you quick access to fact-checks, bias detection, and context.

Here’s what Sidecar can do:

Instant Verification: Highlight content or click Sidecar to check for inaccuracies, receiving a sourced, accurate breakdown.

Bias Detection: Understand content through ratings for bias (political, age, gender) and toxicity.

Interactive Corrections: Rewrite or fix inaccurate text based on Sidecar’s analysis.

Compatibility: Works with major AI models like ChatGPT.

We’d love for you to try it out! You can download Sidecar from the Chrome Web Store (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sidecar-preview-by-...).

Thanks for checking it out!

Feel free to check out our website: https://www.autoalign.ai/sidecar
i cant speak to hetzner, contabo. i have tested this attack on aws, gcp a while back and their L2 segmentation was solid. VMs/containers should be VLANd across customers/projects on most mature providers. On some it may not be though.

if theres defense in depth it may be worth checking out L2 forwarding within a project for unexpected pivots an attacker could use. we've seen this come up in pentests

I work on SPR, we take special care in our VPN to avoid these problems as well, by not letting docker do the firewalling for us. (one blog post on the issue: https://www.supernetworks.org/pages/blog/docker-networking-c...).

as an aside there's a closely related issue with one-hop attacks with conntrack as well, that we locked down in October.
True story. I share your frustration.

I found your writing useful.

Hopefully the landscape will improve.

> consciousness is a prerequisite for spirituality to occur

Using your definition of spirituality, this is a tautology.

I don’t see how we were going in circles; I was simply trying to get you to realize that something that seemed important to our discussion which you claimed as “fact” is about as far from fact as can be. Take care!
Free speech is an interface, the first amendment is an implementation. We can’t use them interchangeably. So when you say

> there is no free speech argument

You really mean there is no first amendment argument. There is still an abstract free speech argument.

Another example: SLAPP laws that effectively intimidate people into silence are a free speech issue but not a first amendment issue.
There are many options with different compromises. Cut and Cover comes in many different versions (some of them you build the cover first and then dig under that). However I'm going to double down and suggest that despite the disadvantages everyone else has raised the overall much lower cost of cut and cover, combined with the advantages of a shallower tunnel, makes it the right answer for a lot more situations. Most people claiming to need something else for some local feature are wrong - they can work around that other objection and be better off. Note that I'm not saying the objection is invalid, just that it should be worked around.
Even if h1bs aren't a practical substitute for tech talent, they can act as a threat to reduce wages for regular workers.

They can also act as an impromptu talent pool of workers for work that might otherwise need to be sent to expensive consultants.

And they are a soothing balm for the burnt fingers of talentless middle managers who find no push back, non-confrontational employees assuring to their egos.
"I don't want to lose this feeling."

I loved that album in my youth. Now that I have kids in their teens, Clapton isn't much our style, preferring Pink Floyd and Massive Attack, lately. It's great not having really ever listened to "Dark Side of the Moon" until recently.

Cheers, mate. I had the exact same thing ring in my head when I saw the article title.
Isn't the entire point of the post the fact that the AI is missing this information in the first place?
"The internet as you know it is the value you get out of ads."

Perhaps this statement is meant as a figure of speech. If so, please disregard the remainder of this comment.

If not, the statement makes no sense. The truth is Workaccount2 does not even know imoreno's name, let alone how imoreno uses the internet, i.e., "the internet as imoreno knows it".

The alternative is not "subscriptions for everything" because that is what so-called "tech" companies are already trying. Obviously it does not work very well if the subscription seller is only an intermediary with nothing that people want to pay for. As such, these websites must rely on surveillance and/or ads.

There are a number of internet users who generally do not "sign up" or "subscribe" to anything, other than internet service. Apparently this number is large enough to leave so-called "tech" companies no other option than to sell internet users out as surveillance subjects and/or ad targets.

The alternative is that the number of so-called "tech" companies (unnecessary intermediaries) able to continue as a going concern would drop. Naturally anyone invested in such ventures will be very defensive about their entitlement to conduct commercial surveillance and profit from ads. We see this in HN comments along the lines of "internet ads are mandatory" all the time. The "arguments" made in these HN comments are often quite funny, like "We cannot go back to the time before the internet had ads" or "If we do not have unfettered proliferation of internet ads, then the internet will suck."
Medicate and try not to stop. Don’t avoid it, it’s life changing and the most effective intervention by far. None of the other stuff is nearly as effective. It is very likely turn their life around. As someone who was not medicated in his teenage years (Briefly in childhood and now all through adult hood. But was nissing all through school and it sucked). It’s a real life changer.

Look up Russ Barkley on YouTube. He’s a very well known and respected ADHD researcher and clinician that has some very engaging and informative videos. Here’s a taster:

Not sure why you have scripting in quotations or are implying that it's somehow bad. You're not modifying the engine code or writing a renderer from scratch when programming a game in Unity so yeah, it's scripting by every definition.

It's impossible to define merit in a way that excludes things like social background.

If you're looking for someone to work in, say, yacht sales to wealthy X-ese clients then you might just find that a native X-ese person of a decent social class is a better salesman by definition because the clients respond better to them than they would a lower class Y-ese.

That doesn't mean that merit as a concept doesn't exist or that better people aren't hired for jobs. It means that "better" is not limited to your IQ or book-learning.
Yup. The guy that led an insurrection to overturn an election is the guy you want to back? And now with 400B to “wield”?

Do you hate the “woke” left so much that you’ll let some guy sell everything good about America to its enemies?
Stuff for GSM/CDMA has been around for years, OpenBTS is the primary example. This is the first I've heard of anything more modern/complicated being implemented. From my understanding, a lot of the hard eng work is in the RF frontend and making it small/low power enough to fit in a phone for example. OpenBTS got around this by using existing SRDs for their RF frontend.
Posting YT links here feels a bit lame, but this amazingly-produced animation by James Lee actually got my hopes up that people are finally starting to break up with proprietary programs and operating systems: https://youtube.com/watch?v=lm51xZHZI6g
Information control during WW2 was a lot stricter than during the Cold War.

During WW2, the US government had an official "Office of Censorship". It had the legal authority to censor all communications between the US and its territories and the rest of the world. While it didn't have any formal legal authority to censor communications within the US, the mainstream US media voluntarily committed to cooperate with it. On 15 November 1945, three months to the day after the end of the war, the office was formally abolished; those last three months of its existence were mainly devoted to winding up its operations.

During the Cold War, the US had no equivalent.
Combining is an option. However a large part of the cost of TBM in the initial get it into place and then when you are done taking it out (sometimes you just leave that expensive machine down there). Thus if you must use a TBM the farther you can go in that one dig the overall cheaper the tunnel.
Except LLMs are usually really bad at checking.

Perhaps if they're some day augmented by formal methods, that might change.

“keep fixating” may just be what’s rising to the surface in your algorithm. My own sense has been that the questions are pretty spread out.
In Firefox you can disable this behavior under Settings -> Customize -> Gestures. If your browser does not have an equivalent setting, get a better browser.
Mathematically, they're equivalently expressive. But returning everything as a table has bad ergonomics.

Imagine the programming language equivalent. We could make a programming language where every function call returns a table. If you expect 1 return value from your function, the caller grabs the first row out of the return array, and the first column out of that row. It would absolutely work, and that its mathematically equivalent in some sense. But it would be confusing, computationally inefficient and error prone. What happens if there's more than 1 row in the table? Or more than 1 column? What happens if the type of the columns doesn't match match what you expect? What happens if the table is empty? Or you want a function which returns a two lists instead of one? We could write that programming language. But it would be pretty weird and frustrating to use.

This is the situation today with SQL. Every query returns a dynamically typed table. Its up to the caller to parse that table.

With redis, the caller expresses to the database what kind of value they expect in the query function name. (At least, list or scalar). The database guarantees that a GET request always returns a scalar value, and LRANGE always returns a list. I think this has better ergonomics because the types are more explicit.
My laptop has been running Pop OS for the past 5 years and its been a delight to use for dev stuff and random gaming, really wish i could move my desktop to Linux too but i mostly use that for gaming and don’t really want to reboot my PC and switch OS when i need to play a game with anticheat.
i don't think any of the distros in that list come with KDE Plasma as their default/flagship offering; it's not the same as windows but i think it will be a lot more familiar to a windows user than the more macos-like offerings like Gnome

specific distro recommendations with plasma ig are Fedora KDE Spin[1] and uBlue Aurora[2]

'Founder Mode' Explains the Rise of Trump in Silicon Valley
I like "Duolicious checks first messages for originality, and asks people to avoid overused openers like 'hey' and 'sup'."

I've been thinking a social network ought to be more opinionated. You need a god if you want to tell true or false, but a very simple AI model can detect infectious negative emotions.

Social media sites ought to ask you "are you sure you want to post this?" when you lose your shit. If somebody is getting dogpiled the whole conversation should be suspended for some time.

BERT + RNN models can eat that problem for lunch, the hard thing is that somebody with real emoptions has to make the training set.
Varia alerts don't utilize the screen, they are just buzzes and beeps. A phone will last for days with screen off, especially with no sim card. They asked for the cheapest option.
Using AI for fact checking? Sounds dubious. LLMs remain notoriously bad at accurate facts to begin with.
gRPC as specced to ride directly on top of HTTP/2 doesn't work from browsers, the sandboxed JS isn't allowed that level of control over the protocol. And often is too low level to implement as part of a pre-existing HTTP server, too. gRPC is a server-to-server protocol that is not part of the usual Web, but happens to repurpose HTTP/2.

Outside of gRPC, just HTTP POST cannot at this time replace websockets because the in-browser `fetch` API doesn't support streaming request body. For now, websockets is the only thing that can natively provide an ordered stream of messages from browser to server.
This is one that can sneak up on you even when you're not intentionally exposing a port to the internet. Docker manages iptables directly by default (you can disable it but the networking between compose services will be messed up). Another common case this can bite you is if using an iptables front-end like ufw and thinking you're exposing just the application. Then unless you bind to localhost then Posgres in this case will be exposed. My recommendation is to review iptables -L directly and where possible use firewalls closer to the perimeter (e.g. the one from your vps provider) instead of solely relying on iptables on the same node
No COM integration, no VBA and no Active Directory support.

Business and engineering software uses Windows APIs to integrate with MS Office and Active Directory. The APIs are not portable and hard to replicate on emulation layers. The software is old so expect a huge pile of examples of Hyrum's law. So you need bug-for-bug API layer implementation to run those software elsewhere.

Migrating companies off from that software is actually harder than creating a clone of Windows.
If the old laptop runs the 'windows things' just fine under Linux and word goes around about that old pile of chips suddenly being much faster and less intrusive 'people' might just go around and install Linux or have other people do that for them. It is not Windows people want, it is the software running on the things they want.
