JWT or Not: Personally Insecure Reflections on Software (In)Security (2022) [video]
There was no evidence disclosed, the "arguments" ha!, are speculation based on hearsay, and nothing else. The whole episode shows a disregard for the US constitution and mountains of legal precident on these matters.
170 million citizens made a choice, and they have been denied any disclosure as to why they are being prohibited from conducting there own affairs and business, under the guise of national security, backed up with may,might,could.
Good look, that.

Allocation is always expensive in the hot path. Arenas, pools, etc. are a thing even in C engines for a reason. If it's possible to mix GC and linear, that's ridiculously powerful.

As far as I can tell, what happened is this law was passed in the heat of the moment (Gaza war), but it turned out to be massively unpopular and ineffective at shoring up US support for the outgoing administration's foreign policy, and even after its moment had passed the combination of the arguments raised by the lawyers for ByteDance and the phrasing of the very unique, very specific bill got it through the Supreme Court, so now everyone's been stuck with trying to figure out how to get rid of it.
To be fair, they did have the lead as late as 2018. It’s just they treated it like it was their PhD thesis. Didn’t protect their IP at all and let all their talent leave.
Is it too conspiracy-theorist to notice that the timeline for this matches the $TRUMP grift that added significant $billions to our new president’s net worth?
The ownership of the company is irrelevant, it's who has control of the algorithm and where the data flows. If Tiktok US licenses the algorithm from China (which seems likely) then none of the national security issues are addressed.
He means net loss to the status quo in reference to the entire fiasco. I had TikTok before… I still have TikTok… what rights were trampled in the process of bringing about zero change to me using tiktok?
It's interesting how most commenters seem to forget about TikTok users. Every interest is taken into account, China, USA, intelligence services, TikTok "competition". Users somehow never enter the picture for most people in any other way than as gullible idiots getting exploited by the aforementioned parties.

while I hope you mean it is hilarious in the same spirit that I write most of my stuff (“ludicrous” is a common phrase even in my documentation), I did want to ask that if you meant that in more of a disparaging way, that you could flesh out any criticism.

Of course, if you meant “hilarious” similarly to how I mean “ludicrous”, thanks! And thank you for taking the time to look at it. :-)
Yes, instead of the dynamic vigor of the youthful Donald J Trump (77)
I’m also British. I can’t say that your perspective makes any sense to me.

Andreessen is talking about why he voted Republican instead of Democrat. If the Democrats aren’t particularly left wing then the ‘left’ in your sense isn’t relevant here. I certainly don’t think lectures in British universities have any connection to his voting choices.

>The point is just that it's clearly evidence of some massive cultural shift inside Google.

I haven’t seen the ads, so sorry if I got the wrong idea about them featuring trans people. But if they just show men wearing dresses, who could really take issue with this? Are there really people who believe that men should not be permitted to wear dresses and that tech companies need to take a strong stance on what men should or shouldn’t wear? And if you’re British, would you not have seen a man in a dress every time you went to see the Christmas panto? It’s hardly a brand new cultural phenomenon, nor a harbinger of the end of days.
China's trade policies, unreciprocated, guarantees that all internet companies will be Chinese eventually, it's just a matter of when.
I think the statistical arguments cover this.
It's not about where the videos are posted, it's about having apps that collect exact GPS position of smartphones that soldiers carry while the position of the ships they are on is classified. The fact that there's videos is just the "proof" that they have installed such apps that exfiltrate things like their location, for example.

Famously, soldiers wanted to use strava in secret military bases: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/28/fitness-tracki...

That confused question was asked by representative Richard Hudson, R-NC.
Yes he does. Form the article:

> The law banning TikTok, which was scheduled to go into effect Sunday, allows the president to grant a 90-day extension before the ban is enforced, provided certain criteria are met.

and

> After the Supreme Court greenlit the law on Friday, the Biden administration issued a statement saying it would not enforce the ban, leaving that responsibility to Trump.
They do still need our votes. But they forgot that, so they lost. I voted for democrats but they got what they deserved.
You should've seen the size of it. More of a USB baton really.
People only have so many hours in the day to consume content.
They're Chinese. They know how to handle a shakedown by Party officials: it needs both bribes and flattery.
From the ruling:

"The Act permits the President to grant a one-time extension of no more than 90 days with respect to the prohibitions’ 270-day effective date if the President makes certain certifications to Congress regarding progress toward a qualified divestiture."

Sounds like he needs to work with Congress on at least a basic level for this to be within the law, not just make his own decision and declare all is good. And there is the small detail that he is not President, at least not today.
The 2008 administration under Obama carried out far more drone strikes & extra judicial efforts. Not justifying it but let’s not forget either
I helped develop a hydro solver coupled with radiation at Los Alamos this summer. We observed from 7x upto 15x performance improvement on a single GPU compared to 64-core intel CPU. [1]

Now granted, the flops to byte ratio for this program might be better than an avg fluid simulator. Also, our performance tanked when we moved to multi-node system. But I am aware of underlying reasons behind the scalibility issues and they don't feel like problems that can't be overcome.

He has to kinda gesture towards in-progress plans to comply with the law to grant that exception, but that's not a huge hurdle.
> I've always believed that the entire concept of "intellectual property" does overall more harm than good

It's fairly broken, but on balance it seems the creators are the ones getting screwed.

I did years of research in a scientific lab which resulted in <drum roll> 2 (yes two ... count them) peer-reviewed papers.

My colleagues and I did the work, wrote up the damned papers, yet to get them published we had to sign over copyright to what I'd now suggest is essentially a rent-seeking scientific publishing mafia.

All a long time ago, but I never had (and still don't have) the ability to either legally download or legally redistribute my own work...
Wait if it's not their core product, what is? GitHub is, at its core, a file/history browser + issue management system + merge request system built around Git. There's not that much to it other than issue management.
Not necessarily a bad question. Could be interpreted as "does this app actively scan for other devices in the home network?".
Google is a playground funded by Ads and Ads make so much damn money that nothing can compete, even internally. If I were an activist investor, I'd make ads its own company. I was the FTC, I'd make ads its own company.
LLM companies aren't being funded by the hundreds of billions because investors expect science to be advanced by text and image generators.

I find it very unlikely that the commodification of knowledge work will be for the betterment humanity, I don't know if people are expecting here that just because the value of more people's labor becomes zero that we will do, what, do away with money? No, it will just mean that fewer people will have the chance to earn the right to use space and resources in a meaningful way.
I just took the liberty to delete TikTok and remove it from my life regardless if it comes back.
If you want to secure sailors' phones you are going to have to do a lot more, and at the same time much less, than ban or transfer the ownership of one single app that happens to be used by over a hundred million civilians.
There’s some legitimate reason for concern in my opinion. In some cases, form is function, and a lot of buyers of the X1 Carbon (and formerly the X1 Nano, RIP) bought them for thinness and lightness without compromising too much on classic ThinkPad qualities (like the trackpoint). The T series, while great, sits in a different category and has a different audience.

In the event that X1-series ThinkPads lose their trackpoints, I think those who are interested in the X1 Carbon are more likely to consider laptops from other manufacturers than to jump to the T-series.
Re Dijkstra:

He's asking for something that is really inappropriate. He lost in the CS department, and he wants the Budget Council to decide on what languages should be taught? Like they know anything about it!

He lost a political battle, and he's appealing it to the only place he can, and he's buttering them up to do it, but the people that actually know something about the topic decided against him already.

And, you're quoting only one side of the battle. One vocal and eloquent side, but only one side. Maybe look into why the UT CS department made that change? (And not why Dijkstra says they did.)
> If barbed stingers were a variation that occurred in some individual bees, but many other bees didn't have them, like predisposition to cholesterol in humans, then I'd agree.

What makes you believe they are not a "variation" in individual bees? Colony genetics are fascinating and can facilitate some pretty extreme variation.

Could a single queen's mutation be responsible for all barbs? You have some hidden constraints here that I don't think we agree on.

> They generally are. The likelihood of a random mutation that produces several phenotypal changes but leaves the organism still viable is extremely low.

This is simply wrong. There are always plenty of potential mutations that cripple viability, sure. But pleiotropy in general is relatively common. In some species more than others.

Your reasoning here is heavily flawed. You firmly believe evolution and genetics work in a particular way that simply does not reflect reality. You are putting your belief in "survival of the fittest" first. I encourage you to broaden your horizons.

hi, I've dabbled in robotics from a hobbyist perspective, and I've gotten as far as installing ROS and following some tutorial and online courses a few times.

I agree with what you said about launcher/ipc/config - my plan if I ever use Ros is to keep it in a box and use my own communication layer to connect with things in various environments (rather than trying to solve incompatible conda environments).

however one thing you've missed, which may well be the biggest offer from Ros and the reason why I haven't sworn off it entirely is the library of robotics functionality such as SLAM and various planning algorithms.

in your opinion, are these at least well implemented? would they be easy to rip out and run separately?
That's always going to be hard work using a US-based platform. Whatever its downsides, Mastodon is noticeably less US-centric and it shows in the content.
Curious to see if this ends up increasing the userbase and TikTok's foothold in American culture.

You need to drill deeper to figure out who really holds the money bag. Not to say I know anything, but this page doesn't really say much.

But again, I don't really care about the nationality of the elites.
Which is why it is an appropriate response to someone who thinks geriatric politicians are only on one side of the aisle.
Which they do. That’s what the New York Times lawsuit is about. And in Meta’s case, they went specifically out of their way to remove the copyright notices to hide their actions.
Eschewing the ethics of such an action, my take would be that it happens (and will happen) regardless of license and no one can stop it unless those utilizing such code leave evidence that they disregarded the license.
yes i think the taliban in the 90s could be a false flag, although it wasn’t used in a way to justify US intervention
Jens's law: Every ticketing system will eventually become Jira.

There's no law to force it. So of course it won't be.

Even if there were a law to force it, how would you enforce it?
What statement? This entire article recognizes that Trump is not president yet.
Is Open Source Software More Secure? (2005) [pdf]
The normal way to figure this out is to negotiate. We’ll either come to a mutually agreeable amount, or they’ll decide it’s not worth the cost to use my stuff. If I think I deserve $5 from OpenAI, then I’d suggest that, and they’d accept or come back with a counteroffer or tell me I’m nuts and move on. Probably that last one.

But for some reason, these companies think they don’t need to bother, and can just use everyone’s stuff.

Wait, I phrased that wrong. For a very good reason based on long precedent, these companies know that IP law is a tool to be used by big companies against individuals and sometimes other big companies, but never by individuals against company, so they know they don’t have to bother.
This is an interesting idea that is worth exploring more.

I wonder if when your PDS was online if you had some kind of local sync for messages from the people you follow? You wouldn't follow many people, so you could quickly build a local Appview that organizes the posts into a chronological feed. Then you could browse your messages later without an Internet connection.
Rust Coreutils 0.0.29 Release
If Ryobi and DeWalt can make Bluetooth speakers, ASP can get into USB drives.
Hi, I'm the author behind the article referenced in this post.

As far as I know, Ubiquiti is not responsible for this 5$ per year "tax".

Apple takes about 3$ per user per year for usage of "Apple Access Platform", and the rest is spent for licensing the credential technology, like to NXP for Mifare DESFire in this case.
Show HN: TikTok Video Downloader
We just built a small tool to download all your tiktok videos by just providing your tiktok username.

You can try it out in https://savetiktokvideos.co

Even though it's reinstated, with all the ban and no-ban conversation it's better to download all your videos and back it up.

This is primarily aimed at creators who have a large number of videos. Please feel free to drop any feedback!
I think that potential EU legislation can and should take this as a cautionary tale.

Oh, really? :)
The greatest lie current politicians in the US managed to get the public to believe in, is that this somehow is a "left vs right" or "democrats vs republicans" issue, when in reality the both sides/parties are more similar than they are different.

Y'all need some real alternatives to the status quo. I'd suggest exploring actually leftist ideals, but would have to be outside the current two-party system, because Democrats already proven they won't do it, as they pushed Bernie aside for a person no one seemed to like.
In 1986 there was also a surfing game that utilised a similar method of including a little plastic surfboard that rested on rubber key'ed spectrums, and depending on which way you tilted it, it would press certain key/key-combos down and claimed to thus give you a more 'realistic' control method.

I believe this one had little nubs under the board, and thus worked 'somewhat' on the Spectrum+ too. Notably the review calls out that at least one of the reviewers couldn't get it to work quite right on the + keyboard.

The money that Forgejo takes is €60/month in Liberapay donations, and some grants to develop federation features so I think it's a little disingenuous to compare it to Gitea's pivot to open core and hosted cloud service.
I was using an X230, later a T480s with macOS between 2017 and 2020 when Apple decided to only sell glued-together unfixable devices with butterfly keyboard. Loved the key-travel, repairability, docking stations - but also the quick switch between keyboard and trackpoint. Even configured some gesture-combinations with the trackpoint (e.g. right click + trackpoint swipe to left = navigate back). Switched back to MacBook after apple released silicon macs and improved the keyboards but always good to have a backup ThinkPad.

Ask HN: Why is too much power accumulated in the president?
The US a day ago is going to be totally different from the US a day from now.

It looks like two totally different countries.

Why was this design considered good?
The law never required that they shut down, so in a tautological sense they are.

However, with regards to the absurd justification. The president (still Biden) hasn't granted any extensions, nor is the president even able to grant an extension without

> certif[ing] to Congress that-

> "(A) a path to executing a qualified divestiture has been identified with respect to such application;

> "(B) evidence of significant progress toward executing such qualified divestiture has been produced with respect to such application; and

> "(C) there are in place the relevant binding legal agreements to enable execution of such qualified divestiture during the period of such extension.

There is no evidence that Trump will be able to lawfully do any of those, and he has to do all, after he becomes president again.
Not at all, the same way the US government does not ask Facebook or other media to produce specific content. However they still send take down requests and guidelines.

TikTok being a foreign entity was under no obligation to conform to the US government, well at least not until now. With the exception to illegal content.
We mostly use notion and google workspace for the non-technical stuff now and as far as I can tell both are pretty good.
This all reminds German companies about a 100 years ago, so much.
That's true. Unfortunately, it is also highly addictive, esp. for kids and teens.
> This outcome is worse than anyone could have conceived.

This is the maximally stupid outcome, so I suppose we should have seen it coming. I guess the conclusion is going to involve Trump taking an ownership stake in TikTok, possibly by swapping it for $TRUMP cryptocurrency or Truth Social shares something.
We will fight for peace until the last bullet
Not disparaging in anyway, in fact, it made made me think of bijective lenses and what other tools could have an inverse, even if lossy.

Your project is amazing, you are ahead of me in your thinking.
It’s back so couldn’t have been that hard.
Ads fund Waymo.
If you think money is what is on the table here you lack imagination. It's the "Trump knob" in TikTok's ranking algorithm that is the real thing of value here.

No actual deal is necessary here. It's obvious to everyone involved what the deal is: TikTok ensures that its content is friendly to Trump, TikTok stays unbanned.
Nope. That 3% represents their profit before the price hikes, the 0.5% (a generous estimate) is the impact of the price hikes.
They could not implement "Home Key", because Apple requires that compatible devices are implemented as a single unit, containing reader + lock.

This limitation was added precisely as to prevent HomeKey from cannibalizing that sweet recurring revenue from "Apple Access Platform" targeted at business customers, as companies want detached readers which can be hooked into existing PACS architectures.

There was a device which did not follow that rule - the Aqara U200 but it seems like they had spent a lot of time arguing with Apple to get approval, as there were multiple occasions where they promised HomeKey (thus generating lots of hype and pressure), and then came back on that promise. Although they delivered on it in the end, good for them.
Here, have my upvote.

I might not share your views but it is important to defend this side of the debate to get the full picture.

It’s easy to reduce TikTok to its negatives and forget that ton of people do get value from it. Obviously for content makers but even for watchers, entertainment and sense of community do have values.
It’s not obvious that training a model on GPL code would constitute a breach of the license.
With other words, while Silicon Valley founders said and pushed that they actually have ethics, morality and "good for the world" ideas, it wasn't actually true and money+extreme capitalism won in the end.
So not an executive order, but signing a bill that passed with a veto proof majority, and then saying he won't enforce it.

And to prove how much of a stunt this was from TikTok, they turned their services back on less than 24 hours later even though nothing had changed.
