Chances seem small that it was his, but chances also seem small of another quirky guy making tear-off $2 pads.

6 repeating digits is quite impressive: maybe you could call again and ask if he was in Chicago around a certain date.
Respectfully, I think it's more likely that you're just not personally plugged into and/or have your awareness tuned to them but those conversations are definitely happening. There's not a single consensus (at least in the U.S.), but discussion definitely occurs and in many cases has led to concrete action.

> Dunno, don't care. I'm not going to mix my banking stuff with my non-banking stuff.

If you are really concerned with security, you should also be concerned with the security of your bank. Do you keep all of your money under your mattress?

> Why risk it? It's not worth losing your livelihood over a very slight convenience.

You realize that no one has ever lost money in an FDIC insured bank account because of either fraud or a bug in client software.

Do you also never use credit cards or debit cards? There have also been security issues with POS terminals and large retailers.

> Would you put a needle into your eye if your doctor told you to? No, of course not, you are not trained for it. So why would you install a banking app which grants access to your finances, and which cannot be proven to be secure against other apps running on the same device?

So do you fly when no one has proven with a 100% certainty that the plane won’t crash? Do you get in a car? Take medicines that haven’t proven not to have side effects? Would you go to the hospital knowing there is a chance you can get an infection that antibiotics can’t cure?
Huh? Public transit has been better on Apple Maps. Does Google even have station entrances/exits yet?
I think a good baseline might be that you need to deposit say $1M and then when oops, you accidentally made a bogus claim it's OK that $1M is split between the victim of your oopsy and Youtube for their trouble - you just pay $1M to get back into the game. Outfits like this could explain to their investors that while their technology does sometimes have little goofs that cost a few billion dollars per year, once they invent perfect AI they can scale infinitely and make that back easily, so if you invest $10Bn of your fiat currency today, in 18 months they can 100% guarantee nothing in particular, wow.

This works for actual creators, who are occasionally slightly inconvenienced but handsomely rewarded when that occurs, for Youtube, who get paid each time these "rare" mistakes happen, and for the companies "innovating" by making up nonsense and taking people's money. Just as well the "investment" goes to a Youtuber as to some random office park or an ad firm.
I look that up and see some kind of Bitcoin related thing. Is that what you mean?

Landing a white collar job now is akin to winning the lottery. My wife's been looking since October '23 when she was laid off from one of the big banks. She doesn't want to give up quite yet, but taking social security is probably going to be something she decides to do soon. Similar for the cohort of people laid off with her (the whole office was shut down, about 250 people) - very few of the ones she's staid in contact with have landed something and if they have it's at a lower pay point.
And if you don't count emotional harm as harm, you'll let insistent stalking, threatening, and all kinds of moral abuses pass. So yeah, the definition is completely useless.
You can't raise the big bucks unless you sell to investor's dreams.

> I'm sorry to say, but logging in with a centralized account to use a device is a given in 2025.

It's really not. Of all the devices I own, the only one that really wants a centralized account is a Chromebook on its way out. Even Android is willing to work without a Google account.
This is why I switched to Guix lol
My point is that “an article” generally doesn’t consist of just a single file. Or maybe rather, that the distinction between a file or document and a folder isn’t necessarily meaningful. Physical “files” (i.e. on paper, as in a filing cabinet) actually commonly used to be folders. And there is little difference between a zip file (which are used for a number of popular document formats) and the unzipped directory it contains.

Unlike in file systems, we don’t have the directory–file distinction on the web, from the user perspective. Everything shown in the browser window is a page. We might as well end them with a slash. If anything, there is a page–file distinction (page display in the browser vs. file download). I agree that URLs for single-file downloads (PDFs, images, whatever) should not have a trailing slash.
I searched archive a while ago and couldn't find it. It's probably referencing the announcement but I clearly remember a pull quote on the ELKS site, probably the same one quoted above.

I happened upon the site when first playing with a (z80) Gameboy compiler (probably SDCC) and wanting to port Linux to it.

I fully admit i could be imagining it.

I brought this point up online over 20 years ago. The pushback I got was it was too expensive to set up such cameras. I countered with if a 7-11 could install a security camera that recorded on VHS tapes, a couple cameras could be mounted in the control tower pointed at the runway. I still got a lot of pushback.

Frankly, I'm baffled.

So why do you think such cameras don't exist?

P.S. Back then, as well as today, I'm surprised at the level of pushback on this question, but no answers.
I've said before, and I'll repeat here:

After serving on a jury I have only the following advice:
Stay away from the criminal justice system as much as you can. Once you are in a courtroom on a jury trial, you are effectively a coin toss from prison.

The amount of uninformed opinions and plain old charisma involved in deciding a case is just mind boggling. There are no certainties, just people reliving their trauma and deciding whether or not the person they see in the courtroom looks like a person that would cause that trauma.
Note that when I say humans, I mean how the whole worldwide social institution/network of scientists, with all its inherent hierarchies and politics. Because that is the social network that ultimately comes to some consensus on what the best theories at any given moment are.

Its indeed possible, in fact "necessary" that some individual scientists within this network by luck or brains come up with much better theories, but sometimes those theories are not accepted by others or they are. But ultimately all that matters is the consensus.
I've explained why you shouldn't eat humans here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42611868

As I understood your argument, you primarily don't like the idea of eating animals based on your beliefs, and you would oppose it even if animals were the healthiest food available ever. So I don't think we contradict each other here — I've heard you, and I understand your ethical position.

> And a bunch of stuff a human body can/should synthesize

You're 100% correct here, I am aware of that. For example, if you only eat meat, your body will synthesize glucose which it would be otherwise lacking (which technically means that meat does not contain the "optimal amount" of sugars).

> Remember healthy eating is also NOT getting stuff you don't need and synthesize

And also getting stuff that a body cannot synthesize enough. Like the notorious B vitamin pills that vegans pop like candy.

> It's just an excuse to justify a existing taste for meat

No excuse needed, god (or nature) made cows delicious — what do you think is the reason for that?

The problem is not YouTube, but the law. The DMCA requires that online service providers (YouTube, Reddit, etc.) comply immediately with any takedown request and without question, so long as it meets sufficient conditions.

Wouldn't this mean that the only people able to make claims in the first place are people with $1M to spare? It might deter aggressive claims, but also prevent individuals from making claims on violations of their copyrights.
I don't know man? Kind of depends on what you're doing.

Going to the extreme cases..

You may be a person from one religion who doesn't feel it is evil to off people en masse if they believe in any religion not your own. I don't really care that you don't think it's evil, I'm still pretty comfy calling you evil.

Obviously no one's talking about things like killing people, (I hope?), but I think the example shows what I'm talking about.
ahh dang! maybe you've got the URL in an old email somewhere? only thing I could think of... fingers crossed for you!
I beg to differ, the polls say otherwise regarding who the population wants and more importantly, the unhealthy coalition of NDP / Liberals have been preventing the parliament from functioning, we would have had an election by now had NDP stopped propping the Liberal party by preventing the non confidence vote.
I think maybe the article goes too far, perhaps begging the question. It is one thing to say that people have unreconcilable beliefs, ones that cause insult or injury as a result of that conflict. It is harder to put them in categories and say that "fascism" is forcing a belief on other people out of a desire to reduce harm and "rakishness" is acting consistent with another set of beliefs that does not find harm in that behavior. I don't know of a philosophically acceptable definition of rakishness, but Fascism has several definitions by both proponents and detractors. Proponents would say that it has an element of blotting out weak, foreign things and promoting strong, native things. Detractors would say that it is whatever is needed to get people to fear and hate an outgroup. Umberto Eco's definition of "ur-Fascism" proposed a framework of features that go together but not necessarily found in every Fascist belief system. I like that definition because it doesn't require people to explicitly call their movement Fascist and it presents the beliefs/behavior as something more innate to the human experience and not a product of modernity.

The dilution of the word Fascist to mean someone who would censor you for some reason, has been bad for discussions of Fascism and its ilk. Now the word seems to include the person who asks you to show them respect by using their correct name or pronouncing it correctly, as well as the person who would execute you for writing "sick" literature that contradicts a fascist belief system, somehow equating the two.

Are there rakes in the world? Do some people think they are not rakes, while other people think they are? Probably. But maybe it is better to try to agree on what is really going on in real discussions, rather than hypotheticals about candies.

It's good that you brought up Hitchens. Like Trump, Dick Morris, Gingrich, and a variety of other larger-than-life 20th century figures, Hitchens had a magnet inside. When Russia switched its primary polarity from left to right, they promptly turned 180' in unison, like an iron bit in an MRI machine.

The PayPal Mafia smell a lot like those guys, like a 21st century unit of the same brigade. Some may have just waited longer than the others before dropping their cover.

That's called "winning the battle and losing the war".
Maybe Im reiterating the same point as you, but the experiment is an illustration of distinction between understanding and performance. Size of the model or perfect performance does not negate the distinction.

IMO, the line of thinking in the metaphor is contingent on unanswered questions about self-awareness, which seems to be a definitional prerequisite for semantic understanding.

> It starts with the assumption that our observations of cosmic expansion are false

It starts with the assumption that our measurements (observations!) of attenuation and red-shift of standard candles are correct. Your characterization is wildly wrong, unless you meant to use a different word than 'observations'.

> and due to time dilation from a clumpy universe, then works out how clumpy the universe must be to account for our observations.

Yes, it does work backwards. That's insufficient by itself to say that timescapes is incorrect. It's concerning though because they work out what densities must be in order to explain away all of the attenuation/red-shift disparities. However the reasoning time dilation is not wrong -- in fact, it's blindingly obviously correct if GR is correct, it's just that it might also be wildly insufficient -- it might just be in the noise.

> For timescapes to "work" time must run 38% faster in cosmic voids. This works out to a density difference of about 100,000 times what we observe with many existing methods.

Thanks. This is responsive to my question, but it's not yet dispositive. We could find that:

- some of our observations are incorrect
- some of our interpretations of those
observations are incorrect
- timescapes explains some but not all
of the apparent acceleration of the
expansion of the universe

Also, density differences need to take into account density differences at the time that a ray of starlight we observe today entered each void along the way to us, not current apparent density disparities. It has to be that 8 billion years ago the difference in density between clusters and voids was much starker, though the voids would have been smaller, and perhaps the difference was not enough orders of magnitude.

Hello! This was a false positive in our systems at
@ChainPatrol
. We are retracting the takedown request, and will conduct a full post-mortem to ensure this does not happen again.

We have been combatting a huge volume of fake YouTube videos that are attempting to steal user funds. Unfortunately, in our mission to protect users from scams, false positives (very) occasionally slip through.

We are actively working to reduce how often this happens, because it's never our intent to flag legitimate videos. We're very sorry about this! Will keep you posted on the takedown retraction.

Banner ads back then were more obnoxious. Today they are deceptive.

This is not just an information preservation problem. It's a problem with the creators who depend on YouTube ad revenue to fund to create content like this suddenly and unpredictably losing that revenue stream.

This is the way. Channels are channels, you must have a robust web of mechanisms to reach out to your network to maintain it, with no single points of failure.
It is unfinished, several parts haven't shipped yet.
You have to think of YouTube and other platforms as a mechanism for distribution, not a source of truth.

Okay... Let's try a different approach here. "DISPFONT.EXE" and "DISPFONT.OVR" are key files you'll find in WordStar's archive [0].

I don't have a CP/M emulator on hand to fire up the original to show you an example, as WordStar pre-existed DOS.

But this is a quote from v3, the first DOS version, from the manual:

---

Screen Fonts for Preview

At the Add or Remove a Feature screen, you can install three
different types of screen fonts for Preview. The screen font
options are Code page 437, Code page 850, and PostScript fonts.
If you want to install PostScript fonts, install both PostScript
and code page 850 fonts. (Be sure to set the code page to 850 in
DOS. See your DOS manual for instructions.)

It truly protected web3 from the "normies" that could have learned about crypto from this video. AI moderation is such a joke, every reupload (or a completely different video on the same subject) can take a video down because they look "similar" enough for the AI and no person would bother checking it. I expected a different treatment of their bigger creators, but that's what it is.
Demolition Man (movie) joke... but the AI bot wars stuff makes it still relevant to the conversation so this is both funny and cautionary / discussion worthy material.

Please, I am very interested to know how the side that reasonably claims honesty explains how parts of Yemen are occupied by Israel.

The presence of Mossad spies who I have no knowledge of but I will just assume exist and are trying to find out where the Houthi leadership is or where the ballistic missiles are, so Israel can eliminate them, are an occupying force?

>TSMC's results are always very impressive. Wonder how long they can keep this momentum.

For as long as the market is willing to pay for it. The oldest comment I wrote on HN was 2017, [1] but I made similar prediction on other forums in 2015. My original estimate was that by 3nm, which was suppose to come with GAA in 2022 or 2023 we will have a slow down simply because no company could afford it. That was at the time no single company reached a trillion market cap. Little did I know we have multiple multi trillion dollar market cap today, and AI continue to push the hardware spending forward. We have enough capital to push for at least 2nm, 1.4nm and 1nm till 2030. TSMC has roadmap till 0.8nm ( or A8 ).

So unless the AI craze suddenly die off in the next two year, and despite a person not believing in AGI any time soon, I seriously doubt the craze will die off. As it could become the greatest jackpot in computing history since Smartphone. And Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, AMD, Intel, Broadcom, and many others together could be $500B annual spending on AI hardware alone. The market has enough money to push this forward. That is ignoring the government money as well! ( Every time I look into Nvidia it is more crazy number that I could imagine )

Not to mention ASML are working on much more cost effective method for their EUV TwinScan. This has a potential of $12K or even sub $10K per N3 wafer post 2030.

The future is exciting.
