I imagine being part of SWIFT alliance or any other payment network costs some serious moneys, yet a current account costs a few euros a months. Same things with being a CA -- being included in the list of root certs requires an audit and obviously costs money, yet you can have free https certs from letsencrypt.

Nobody stops you from running something similar to letsencrypt but for this PEPPOL thingy if you don't want to pay for invoicing software as service.

Completely false and simplifying a complicated history to present a very one sided view.
The most fertile lands are in the west bank. They were under Jordanian control and could have been turned into an independent Palestinian state, but weren't. Israel "accidentally" got them in the 6 days war, and were happy to give them to Jordan back to "take care" of the Palestinian problem, but they refused.
The places that Israel have the majority of the population in Petah Tiqwah, Tel Aviv and the region were swamp lands, filled with mosquitos, that were dried over many years and many deaths by Jewish farmers.

First class API layers and native apps require such a massive amount of work (and money) that your app emitting HTML is the least of your problems.

This is not 2011 when every website was building an "app" for native experience. If you are not building an Uber or an AirBB, you will probably manage.
> show contempt for a system rigged against them

Those that don't care to vote are doomed to be ruled by those who care.

You still have to pay taxes, and perhaps see a government you truly despise making all sorts of decisions that will get the system even more rigged against you.

Not voting out of spite is similar to stabbing your own head to show contempt for your brain when you have a migraine.
> The moment you use a fraction, the assumption is that you would need to count all I guess, so it’s treated as individual objects.

I always explained it to myself that, when you use a fraction, you're focusing on that one incomplete object, also calling more attention to the individuality of objects in the set. So in case of say, "100.5 książki", I like to imagine shoving ~95 books into the box very quickly, then slowing down for the last 6 books, counting them off one by one, to know exactly when to stop and saw the 106th book in half.

IDK what the official justification is.

> The pyramid is also an artifact of the era in which it was created.

> Computers were slower, testing and debugging tools were rudimentary, and developer infrastructure was bloated, cumbersome, and inefficient."

What AMD giveth, Electron taketh away.

No matter how fast computers get, developers will figure out a way to use that extra compute to make the build and the test cycle slower again.

Of course it is all relative - it is hard to define what a "unit" test is when you are building on top of enormous abstractions to begin with.

No matter what you call the test, it should be fast. I feel productive when I can iterate on a piece of code with 2 second feedback time.

You are absolutely right saying that rule of law is not sufficient condition for the existence of modern society. It was a bit confusing still, because nobody claimed the opposite: the comment you replied to was saying rule of law is a necessity.
Would be very pleasantly surprised if a drawing like "Blue Spikes Shell" is actually reducible to a readable mathematical construction.

A surface that exhibits very strong variability in curvature (like the spikes in the shell) is most likely a collage of different pieces. These would (at best) have only a locally valid mathematical formula. Achieving a visually convincing result through smooth patching introduces lots of ugly "numbers".

Most likely the "formula" concerns only some aspects of the drawing, like overall symmetry and relative sizes.
"In production" in this case is a stand-in for "in any environment with access to sensitive stuff" which might just include GPUs, if what the attacker wanted was crypto processing grunt. Besides, if you're providing 3D asset generation as a service (which I can imagine most deployments of this sort of thing will be, at least for now) then it absolutely is running in production. The purpose of that production environment is entirely to run asset generation.
Datamatics
I never bought into Searle's argument with the Chinese room.

The rules for translation are themselves the result of intelligence; when the thought experiment is made real (I've seen an example on TV once), these rules are written down by humans, using human intelligence.

A machine which itself generates these rules from observation has at least the intelligence* that humans applied specifically in the creation of documents expressing the same rules.

That a human can mechanically follow those same rules without understanding them, says as much and as little as the fact that the DNA sequences within the neurones in our brains are not themselves directly conscious of higher level concepts such as "why is it so hard to type 'why' rather than 'wju' today?" despite being the foundation of the intelligence process of natural selection and evolution.

* well, the capability — I'm open to the argument that AI are thick due to the need for so many more examples than humans need, and are simply making up for it by being very very fast and squeezing the equivalent of several million years of experiences for a human into a month of wall-clock time.
There are a few things like this which really sound weird to a British ear.

Another example is the use of "Write" in the sentence, "I wrote them". This is completely wrong to the British ear, which would be "I wrote to them".

> Very few firms have the resources/know how to even run the machines - which is what makes TSMC so important.

I dispute that this is simply what sets TSMC apart. The process of designing transistors and chip "IP" (the term used) such as 2.5D stacking technologies and the like (which is where coordination with EDA companies like Synopsys, Cadence, and etc. comes in) is just one thing. Then to prepare the photomask (I'm sure there are partners, but still), and operate the whole clean room facility around the input and output of wafers and other materials into these ASML/other fabrication machines is another thing.
If the liquor store owner knows that some of those bottles might contain pure methanol, and people end up dying from drinking said methanol...then, yes, I do think the store owner should do some serious jailtime.

Which is what this boils down to. Ross didn't know what people were selling. Could be pure high-quality stuff, could be contaminated stuff, could be stuff that was cut up with fent. He made money either way.
This was the first time many people had access to clean drugs in a comfortable way. It's easy to blame him, but the reality is that the alternatives are worse for customers.

That's cool, I really like it. One piece of feedback: I am usually more interested in the HN comments than in the original article. If you'd include a link to the comments then I might switch to GopherSignal as a replacement for the HN frontpage.

My flow is generally: Look at the title and the amount of upvotes to decide if I'm interested in the article. Then view the comments to see if there's interesting discussion going on or if there's already someone adding essential context. Only then I'll decide if I want to read the article or not.

Of course no big deal if you're not interested in my patronage, just wanted to let you know your page already looks good enough for me to consider switching my most visited page to it if it weren't for this small detail. And maybe the upvote count.
I see, thanks. New to HN. I suppose I'll repost it later next week since I can't delete/edit the existing post.

Thanks!
Has anyone ever tried to do some automatic email workflow autoresponder agents?

Lets say, I want some outcome and it will autonomousl handle the process prompt me and the other side for additional requirements if necessary and then based on that handle the process and reach the outcome?
Hmm, I guess I misunderstood. But in that case, it's a bit of a mixed message.

You say:

> we as a community don't support, encourage, or permit people to throw slurs

then you say:

>We don't, though. We have moderators (hi dang) who get rid of those people.

In the first you consider moderators as part of the community. In the second you don't it seems. And the people who can downvote I think are probably so high enough in number as to be seen as normal users and not moderators.

The perception of the moderation in larger communities is that it is way more heavy handed and less accountable than the moderation that dang does. For example, in HN, I can see messages from dang warning a user they are repeating offences they have committed and I can easily see their past posts to verify whether that's true or not. And dang at least gives more than one-worded defenses or explanations about certain cases of moderation in the public forum itself and not restricted to private messages. HN even says you can email them regarding certain cases you feel strongly about. With Twitter, when an account is suspended you can't see the paper trail between the moderators and the user, or the past posts. And you need to get a hold of some hotshot acquaintence with a decent amount of followers to publically make your case to get the company big-wigs to notice.

In HN, even in cases of shadow-banning, though newbies might not be aware, you can even toggle the shadow-banning off and see all the posts unfiltered. In Twitter, that option does not exist I think.

It doesn't scale people say? Well, no one said it's easy...
The difference in quality between this and the top comment reifies the downsides of AI for analysis.

Tamga: Modern, Logging Utility for Python
In my experience, sacred geometry, and all these other terms like frequencies and energies and what not create highly ambiguous language. Esoteric concepts piggy-backing on physics’ success (or mathematics), trying to legitimize nonsense. Manganese-balancing rose quartz. Nuclear vibrations. Quantum uncertainties with at best questionable claims about determinism.

The only people I’ve ever seen healthily walk the boundaries were from philosophy/physics/math to spirituality (whatever that means for individuals), not the other way round.

You can associate a location schedule with Focuses, which can include Silent mode as a filter. Also you can set shortcuts to automatically run when you enter a physical location.
I'm curious about that. Those models are definitely more knowledgeable than a well educated human, but so is Google search, and has been for a long time. But are they as intelligent as a well educated human? I feel like there's a huge qualitative difference. I trust the intelligence of those models much less than an educated human.
That it's not unusual tells us that too many researchers in the field are chasing citations and fame at the expense of doing quality work.
Ultra-Realistic Pork-Free Ham

Not ham then, nor pork and consequently not ultra-realistic

Its a plant based food whatever that means.

“Research suggests that plant-based products could replace 11–22% of global meat consumption by 2035—but only if improvements are made in taste and texture. Project Eaden is leading this shift with its new fiber technology, which delivers a meat alternative that will appeal even to the most skeptical consumers.” Christoph Gras, General Partner, Planet A

“Fiber spinning can be done in multiple different ways. We initially tried wet spinning, where you take a protein solution with a coagulant, you put it through a spinneret [a metal nozzle with holes that looks a bit like a showerhead to create fibers, and then you put it into a solution with, say, salt and alginate, they react and form a structure.”

sounds really healthy and delicious.
This sort of kneejerk culture war regurgitation mischaracterizes your argument, as well the people you are talking to, and undermines your own credibility. Separately, it adds positively nothing to the discussion except noise.

The world isn’t as black and white as you seem to be convinced it is. Not everyone is neatly categorized into reasonable friend and nonsensical insane foe, unfortunately.

Do you enjoy meaningless culture brawling in the comments? Does it provide you with some sort of emotional supply? It certainly isn’t accomplishing anything else (other than breaking the social contract here). I’m truly confused, on a purely intellectual level. (I don’t expect you to change or do anything differently, I am simply thoroughly baffled.)

That's why Typescript/Python optional typing hit the best balance for me. Coding in duck-typed language is generally fine when your test suite is as fast and frequent as a type checker. That also explains why TDD is more popular in say Ruby or Python vs. Java.
Speaking of Java, the problem with types is when you try to reify every single problem you encounter in your codebase.
By the way, python has structured types since 3.8, and I hope they get more popular in Python code:

> One main issue is Xwayland dependency that feels a bit warped.

I believe XWayland is there to stay for retro compatibility. That seems fine to me, retro-compatibility seems like a good thing. That would not be unlike XQuartz on Mac, which doesn't make us question Mac's own display server.

> I would argue nearly "there". But not yet.

I fully believe there are use case that are not fully covered indeed.

Gaming would be one (I don't know whether gaming on Linux, outside the Steam Deck, is actually niche). But doesn't Wine work well with XWayland? (until they fully move to Wayland, which I think I've read they are in the process of doing)

I would guess NVidia would concern mainly gamers and people working with ML (maybe those people don't actually need NVidia to display stuff though, and are actually fully covered by the iGPU - I don't know).

It seems to me running an actual X11 session is now needed for niche things, but I might be wrong.
This sounds cool! Are you planningto opensource it?
I think this varies wildly on the type of app you're building. If you are building something like CRUD interfaces obviously a server side focus is very viable and useful since you don't have to have double state management. I am thinking apps like ecommerce, banking or management software.

But if you're building a very client heavy application that does something like Photo editing, CAD, video editing etc I have a hard time seeing a server side generated content to be successful because you need a lot of client side state no matter what.

For example, I have done a lot with maps and it's not possible AFAIK to render the canvas on the server since it's a browser only api. Also I don't really see the benefit since it takes too much computational power to generate graphical things on the server.

If you knowingly operate a marketplace where unsafe products are being sold, you very much bear some responsibility of those injuries.

If Ross let drug dealers sell fentanyl-laced drugs, which ended up killing someone, he absolutely should be charged.

Those deals wouldn't have been possible without his platform. Sure, maybe the same drug dealer would have sold the bad stuff to some other poor user outside silk road, but those dealings that ended up happening on silk road are his (Ross) to own.

> I think you fundamentally misunderstand what people use "slop" to describe.

I don't think I do, actually. It's not a term with a technical definition, but in simple terms it means art that is obviously AI, because it has the sheen, weird hands, inconsistencies, weird framing or thematic elements that are hard to describe without an art degree but which we instinctively know is wrong, or is just plain bad.

I used the term slop to describe bad humans art too, but I meant something subtly different. It's a term that has been used to describe bad work of all kinds from humans since long before there was AI.

In this case, it's art from humans who are learning what makes good art. You say there's no bad art, and it's a valid viewpoint, but I'd say bad art is when the artist has a clear goal in their mind, but they lack the skills to realize it. Nonetheless, they share it for feedback and approval anyway, and by doing that on a site like DeviantArt they learn and grow as artists. But meanwhile, to me or anyone else who is visiting that site to find "good", meaningful art made by skilled artists, this is slop. Human slop, not AI slop.
Intuitively this sounds like something that should be possible using almost any llm. This should be just a matter of prompting.
I am as baffled at the responses and appreciated this explanation as it was helpful to me to work on my communication style and expresses a lot of similar frustrations I have. Like what is actually going on here? this isn’t shade at anyone, I just feel like people are losing some fundamental ability to deduce from context what they are reading. it’s doubly concerning because people immediately reach to an AI/LLM to explain it for them, which cannot possibly be helping the first problem.
Analyzing a Year of Hacker News Traffic
yeah I only know a limited amount, but I found the sentence to be super harsh at the time for a website owner and as we can see form all the comments, the fact he got punished so harshly has implications on ycombinator as well most of the poeple here are website owner.

I wont watch your video as it clearly is a hit piece by the title. If it had just had an impartial "An investigation into Ross" then I would have.

The fact you suggested a video source with a clearly biased source make me think less of your argument.

Sure, but DHS long predates this admin. The list of giants suckling at the public teat is huge (Rapiscan, anyone?) and spans many different administrations.

One possible upside of the current situation is that the very obvious corporate ownership of the federal government is dropping the “emperor has clothes” pretense. We are ever closer to simply paying taxes to Buy-N-Large.
