That's a functionally meaningless distinction. If you setup a web server that responds to requests, then you're choosing to make content available because your server can choose to not respond to requests. The entire protocol includes mechanisms to negotiate access.
If you view the source it looks like they goofed and don't actually have any white space between the elements in the rendered example. It's just `<ul class="inline-block-list"><li></li><li></li></ul>`.

When I try the code they show on the page myself the space is displayed.

Show HN: Fields of Chess – Generative chess posters based on the moves of a game
Got addicted to chess recently so I built a microsite to generate chess posters based on the moves of each game.

How it works:

- The square colors are based on "last occupied by". So if the d4 square was last occupied by a white piece, the square will be white, and vice versa.

- The "x"s indicate that a capture occurred on that square.

Chess is a beautiful game :)
their whole business is stealing data..

so its quite funny to see they freely share it too.
> I am sure the demands of UK government are more than reasonable - and, as it is a democracy - as full endorsement of the people / users

"Full endorsement" of the electorate isn't how representative democracy works. Given FPTP, the government got a huge majority of seats with 33.7% of the votes, but as there's not universal voting that's only 14% of the actual population, and even with those who did vote it's not clear how many people were voting "not the other lot".

No, we still want the laws to be followed, not blatantly broken and ignored. I don't want millions of people to suffer because these fools have no clue how to run a government, which is very different from a company. Beyond their incompetence, they are raiding the government for their own benefit. It's the doing of Heritage Foundation, trying to replicate what Orban has done in and to Hungary. The oligarchs want things to operate like Russia, they don't care about us. Enough of culture wars, we need class warfare

> Based on the encyclopedic knowledge LLMs have of written works I assume all parties did the same.

I don't understand why you wouldn't just buy copies of the books. Seems like such a relatively inexpensive way to strengthen your legal case.
Indeed.

The Investigatory Powers Act 2016 was one of the big things (before Brexit) that made me realise the UK wasn't a suitable place to run a tech business.

It hasn't noticeably improved.
True but lets take examples one by one to see what we can learn : Spotify was doing illegal things until they made a deal to become legal and not to be trialed over what they done. Seems like business deals is what saved them, not regulatory capture (the regulations around IP for music pre existed Spotify)
20 years ago I would have said a group of smart visionaries getting a pile of money with no publicly shared vision, product or direction was an exciting, positive thing. Somewhere over the past 5-10 years this morphed into cynicism as I await to see how they will light it on fire this time.

I didn't notice any decline, it still gives me code that is wrong almost every time.
This is one of the reasons I need at least a minify step on the HTML of any site I build. Sometimes I'd prefer not to but it's the easiest solution to have both indented HTML in the source and consistent spacing in the result.

I don't think it's broken though, imagine if every whitespace was rendered. And how do we know what should be collapsed? I don't see a better solution that satisfies every situation.

Use <pre> to preserve the whitespace in code, for everything else use CSS.
And it will cause the sale of both of those to increase as well

I think you are misinterpreting my position. I have a problem with the drug epidemic whether they come from inside or outside the house. I've seen lives destroyed.

What I'm trying to point out is that you can spend immense effort on the supply side and nothing will change overall. This has been going on for 50+ years. We need to change our perspectives and approach to the demand side of we want to actually do something about it
Indeed, because good contingency planning inherently means wasting effort on if/else paths that may never occur.

I love shooting BW film but Tri-X looks so newspapery or silver to me - I tend to prefer the newer Kentmere films. I've found you can still push them pretty far and not pay a large price. The film is just so forgiving compared to digital (at least to the best of 2014 sensors)
I say this to phone spammers all the time—are you a bot? If you are you have to tell me. Haha. Reminds me of a conversation I had with a CSR once, who gave their name as “Maryjane”. I asked, on an impulse, is that your real name? They said, No. It’s a jungle out there. Good for CA.
It doesn't "seem". The entire system in most countries works, by design, that way because the people in power trade in influence at a different plane.

That's why democracy often feels "failed" in that no change can be achieved because "it's just more of the same". Few Lobbyists representing the interests of a few people have more power than millions voting differently.
The technicalities of what does or doesn't convey a crime is wholly irrelevant to the voting public. Voting being both at the ballot box, and w/ their dollars towards the MTA.

I do not think this attempt by the authorities will be any useful, while it would initially work... well these guys may not be hackers but are not idiots and over time you will get your average baddies become tech-savvy enough to circumvent this.

I will need to rebuild that dev container.
We have at least 4 types of ill-defined concepts of property in the 21st century , largely due to our laziness, intellectual inertia and lack of motivation to make forward-thinking definitions for the coming age of AI and ubiquitous access to all information and all communication.

1) the concept of copyright is as old as the word suggests (copies are the least of our worries going forward - it should be possible to define processes for exploitation of ideas in a fair way)

2) we allow humans to learn from other people's ideas and transform them to commercial products and the same should happen for AIs in the future

3) we have an ill-defined concept of "personally identifying information" which gives people ownership to information that others have created via their own means - there should be better ways to ensure a level of privacy (but not absolute privacy) without overly-broad, nonsensical definitions of what is personally protected information

4) We allow social media and other telecommunications media to arbitrarily censor people's speech without recourse. This turns people's speech to property of the social media companies and imposes absolute power on it. This makes zero sense and is abusive towards the public at large. We need legal protections of speech in all media, not just state-owned media.
The real goldmine is WhatsApp. In most cases, WhatsApp backups are enabled and uploaded by default, including when the whole iPhone backup is created. And by default, backups are unencrypted.

So if you ever wonder how they access those WhatsApp messages, when you think that they would be end-to-end encrypted, reality is something else.
Argh. Synonymise.

Germany hasn't imposed any similar ban on end-to-end encryption without a law enforcement backdoor. My configured iPhone region, configured Apple ID region, and physical location are all in Germany right now, and I was able to enable Apple's Advanced Data Protection here without a problem.

Yes, German law enforcement does have a rights carveout, but not nearly as big of one as in the UK (or the US).
I'm not particularly surprised: who wants to try to hold up GIMP as an exemplar of a good interface? Maybe by arguing "it's not as bad as it was, and now it hardly sucks at all".

I'm an old Photoshop user who has GIMP now. I'd like to do a breakdown of everything that's wrong with its interface behavior, but analysing exactly how it does behave would be a major mission. There's something - several things - wrong with how it selects, moves, deselects, selects layers, and zooms, compared to what I expect for the workflow I try to have. Possibly this is just a matter of needing to learn new conventions, but possibly I have learned the GIMP conventions and they're just clunky.

Interesting, though, since this is organic, grass roots, free software interface crappiness, not the coercive corporate kind.
If you were wondering why meta was making a lot of donations to the new government (including settling a lawsuit for 25 million with the New president, 1 million to the inauguration)…. I suspect there will be no federeal charges.

I think it’s fine to criticize the hypocrisy of viciously defending the copyrights you own, while gleefully running roughshod over the ones you don’t.

But it’s also possible that copyright as a concept, or in its current implementation, is bad and unjust.

I’m sure some copyright holders would like nothing more than to see an argument that elevates copyright violation to the level of murder, morally or legally. But I think it’s more akin to jaywalking - violating an unjust law that mostly shouldn’t exist.
The sad thing is, once a company loses its spark of engineering excellence, it's very difficult to recover. Politics take the place of excellence and this creates an environment where the talented are systematically suppressed and rejected. Those who run the show are not only incapable of identifying talent, but feel repulsed by it.

APS had a lot of cool features mixed with smaller frame sizes and higher prices right when digital was taking off. I feel like they could almost bring it back - the ability to roll a half shot film back up and swap it is neat but there is no way it's going to happen and is arguably useful.
I've got backups disabled on WhatsApp and the app reminds me like once every few weeks "You should turn on your backups!". Easier to click yes.
> I suspect we're about to hear some arguments from AI-maximalists that LLaMA is sentient and that deleting it would be akin to murder - and wiping out AIs trained on stolen property is literally genocide. I don't believe that for a second.

Me thinks anthropomorphizing clocks is as silly as worrying if the boiling water in the pot feels pain. Even if it was feasible for a machine to be conscious, it would be conscious at a lower level than "software", which, to me, has come to resemble a hyper hyperbolic information layer (emerging and part/parcel of human consciousness.) (Call it an egregore if you want, but to me it seems more like a data lake.) This may be a platitude but, any agency the machine possesses is due to the human agency that nudged it in such a direction. We've created a lovely mirror test for ourselves.
The Greenland ice sheet is falling apart – new study
This meme that government is just hugely more inefficient than business is not correct in my experience.

I've worked for both. I have seen massive waste in business, millions spent for no gain, staff employed to build a manager's empire, not to do anything that was actually needed and other terrible outcomes. Obviously that also happens in government too, although the bigger problem there was a whole bunch of lazy staff who were hard to fire.

But... A business can largely choose its market and optimise for that. A government cannot - it has to work for pretty much everyone. Business can choose to skirt the law or even break it. Government departments must comply with all law to the best of their ability.

Not saying there are no ways to improve government efficiency. But the people who think you just need a business approach (unless you just want to break it all) are deluded.
They're not being censored by the state in this case (unlike the gotcha everyone keeps using when deepseek is mentioned). They're being limited by their developers for brand safety.

There's still career-ending possibilities from saying things even in the overtly antiwoke government: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic... ; people are not going to trust an LLM which might say such things on their behalf.

Not to mention questions like "who is liable if an LLM libels someone".
I've only tried copilot once and this is exactly my experience. I'd write a comment to try to prompt it, then it would keep writing the comment instead of the function. Best I could do was make it write the function as a comment then uncomment it.

I prefer to just write code myself
> why do we want to then censor LLMs differently?

Because of the obvious PR implications of having a program one's company wrote spewing controversial takes. That's what it boils down to - and it's entirely reasonable.

Personally, I wish these things could have a configurable censorship setting. Everyone has different things that get under their skin, after all (and this would satisfy both the pro-censor and pro-uncensored groups). It's a good argument for self hosting, too, because those can be filtered to your own sensitivities.

That would help with cases where the censorship is just dead wrong. A friend was working with one of the coding ones in VS Code, and expressed his frustration that as soon as the codebase included the standard acronym for "Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital" (HOMO) it just refused any further completion. We both guessed the censor was catching it as a false positive for the slur.
UK demands access to Apple users' encrypted data
being sent by a method called 'SMS' which isn't very reliable, particularly when phone signal is poor...

Not that it is relevant to overall point, but this is the exact opposite of my experience. I've been in plenty of situations where it is impossible to make calls because the signal is so bad, but communicating with SMS has worked perfectly. As my signal gets weaker and weaker, SMS is always the last thing to fail.
The overlap between “criminal” and “fundamental understanding of online security” is fairly small.

I use online services and sync, but my life is so boring (and data breaches have exposed so much) that a disaster that destroys my house and all backups is far more likely that harm from government or private snooping on my cloud files.

I know we’re supposed to stand on principle and make data storage choices as if today’s cat photo were evidence of being the real JFK assassin, but I don’t have the energy.

I still use stackoverflow through searching for very obscure things that got answered a while ago and a question kept alive and relevant through people doing good Samaritan work and updating answers to the current year.

Each time I tried to get an answer from any LLM, the thing was always deeply wrong or obviously flawed. Mind you I am always searching for specific, niche, really crappy things that are often an overlap of SW and HW...

But again this is very cherry picked opinion from my personal use.
