One of the things that's come up in several trade deals Canada has negotiated is how protectionist we (as a country) are when it comes to dairy.

We have not experienced the massive increases in pricing on eggs. The supply management system effectively works to keep farms roughly below a certain size, and seems to have helped avoid large impacts on certain staple foods.

The usual rhetoric against this is that we should be getting cheaper prices by letting in foreign competition. This ignores that doing so would allow foreign subsidies to wipe out our local supply of critical foodstuffs, then making us dependent.

It's not an ideal system but it seems to have yielded some tangible results when things like bird flu are making their rounds.
The constitution (any constitution) and laws are just words on paper. They only matter when the people in the system make it matter. And larger society is part of that system.

Having a system which incentivizes people to not allow this to happen certainly helps - but corruption is inevitable and requires constant work to correct.

The OSA goes way beyond CSAM detection. It also goes beyond report-and-takedown.

If there is the possibility of people posting anything that can be considered pornographic you must implement strong age verification. And you might have to do that age verification every time somebody logs in - though Ofcom won't say where that threshold is.

Ofcom themselves has said that it is "a huge amount of work to come into compliance" (direct quote from a webinar earlier in the week).

I’m pretty sure they didn’t mean “exponentially more” in the asymptotic complexity sense. They could be both O(N log(N)), but with dramatically different constants.
If Microsoft had just kept iterating on Windows 2000 forever and never developed past XP/Vista/7/etc. I probably wouldn't be a Linux user today.
To add, find the source itself; submissions to HN are sometimes guilty of this (and often get corrected), posting an article about an article instead of the article itself, the meta-article telling you how to feel and think about the source instead of the source sticking to the facts. And the headline on HN itself priming you as well (but there's the policy that titles on HN should not be editoralised).

It's why I like kinda "boring" news outlets like Reuters. I don't know for sure but our national news thing (NOS) feels fair as well, it doesn't have an overt political alignment and will often report on both sides - even if I'm very much inclined to dismiss one side, but I won't claim to be unbiased.

All your examples are exquisitely clean digital renders of digital documents. How does it fare with real scans (noise, folds) or photos? Receipts?

Or is there a use case for digital non-text pdfs? Are people really generating image and not text-based PDFs? Or is the primary use case extracting structure, rather than text?
We also enjoy doing things that we are good at. So you need a lot of discipline and patience if you want to become good at something you're bad at. There's usually beginner "gains" meaning that something might seem impossible at the beginning, only to become easy within a few weeks, so you best wait until you have got the "beginner gains" before you decide to quit.
Of course there's something wrong: you're using Discord :)

That's a much bigger problem. People at the limit of survival financially - and there's a lot of them - may not have the luxury of any kind of financial education, or the leeway to experiment and take longer term aggregates and strategies. There is only now.

It's expensive to be poor and this is why. It's not just hedonists, a chronically empty stomach changes the way you think and how far and wide you're seeing.
I think the cooking metaphor is actively wrong.

Cooking (manually) takes skill (let's say that's a one-time thing you need to have acquired in the past) and then it needs time (repeatedly).

The outcome (food) is a temporary benefit.

Software meanwhile, in general, is written once in order to solve a problem at all, or make a task easier/more repeatable. The software is the cook, so to speak.

A more apt comparison would be to craft a cooking tool that makes your work easier, or possible at all. (e.g a pot)
Interesting read. I wasn't aware there was a formal process that allowed the US to snoop on EU data in cloud providers. Very big brother.
Right, because of course children are incapable of browsing the web.
> I don't see why you have been downvoted.

presumably because it's a silly idea, given Cloudflare isn't a colo or dedicated server company and they won't let you just rack machines in their DCs for the same reason Google won't.
This is exactly the underexplored path I long for. Lots of processors with local RAM.
IMO Rust is hard until you gain some intuition, then it becomes MUCH easier.

The real frustrating part is claiming to embrace errors by returns, but then still just panicing all over the place, dependencies piled upon dependencies piled upon dependencies, just about 0 documentation on doing anything asynchronous without external dependencies, important features being kept in unstable for basically ever, one of the highest barriers to contribute to language features, highly questionable leadership processes and the worst of all:

Openly embracing design complexity. When I learned about extension traits for the first time, I thought "That's awesome", only to find not much later crates, that seem to have some features, which I couldn't find the implementation for anywhere. Turns out external crates were pulled in, which then were used to extend anything carrying certain marker-traits from the previous crate. Like WHY?
> I've build a system that read 500k pages _per day_ using the above completely locally on a machine that cost $20k.

That is impressive. However, if someone needs to read a couple of hundred pages per day, there's no point in setting all that up.

Also, you neglected to mention the cost of setting everything up. The machine cost $20k; but your time, and cost to train yolo8, probably cost more than that. If you want to compare costs (find a point where local implementation such as this is better ROI), you should compare fully loaded costs.
Like the belters in The Expanse.
> Another thing to keep in mind is that, due to US tax law, you will essentially never be able to invest in e.g. an index fund again. You should walk into this assuming your Roth IRA, 401k, etc. will all be essentially frozen at their current values, and that the country you move to will not grant them any special privileges.

I would assume that only applies to the special tax-advantaged things listed, does it also apply to a generic brokerage account?
You could try writing an RFC or a tech spec sometimes with different approaches, proposed solutions, pros/cons. It's basically coding and designing the system in your mind and anticipating issues and challenges. It's a good exercise to do this before writing a line of code. The more you do it, the easier it gets, the mind starts to think about different approaches and pitfalls, you get into a focused state where the brain organizes the logical flow and then you can write a rough outline without caring about making the compiler happy or what the exact syntax is. Sometimes it also helps to translate this high level outline into pseudocde in a comment and then fill in the blanks with actual code.

They did not do this. Everyone can read the post that you’re responding to.
You know what you can do? Subscribe to multiple papers, from both sides. Then you can do some comparison to see when things are reported differently.

When I grew up we had at least two papers, sometimes three. One was leaning left, other leaning right.

These days it's what Ground News[1] is trying to do from what I can gather, though haven't tried them as they don't cover the news in my country.

What do you mean by “trumpists” precisely? In Poland, two centrist parties take turns in power. One uses more conservative and pro-American rhetoric, while the other is more liberal and pro-European. However, if you focus on what these parties actually do, there is no fundamental difference between them. Both raise taxes, expand bureaucracy, and limit freedom. And neither of them represents Polish interests.

And yet, people supporting one or the other party are furious at each other. It’s like a battle between warring tribes.

Both the work done here and the quality of explanation, as well as the thoughtful challenges to the reader, are top notch. Thank you for sharing.
This feels like an example of a company trying to do the "right thing" and deciding there must be a way to monetize that, regarding what everyone (even the web) is telling them.

Imagine the balance of revenue from non-returning users (think fitness) vs very heavy users, and finding a way to keep both parties happy. And the implications it has (those "paused" users still count towards "onboarded" users).

Major props Kagi team, or who-ever pushed this idea!
Will checkout jeremy's lectures. I actually use his fastbook notebooks a lot to self-study.

Karpathy's style, for me is more like at the right abstraction to bring out curiosity in me towards the subject. After watching his lectures, i go on to more materials generally, and never really stop there.

> If you are the kind of animal loving people in city, i'm not sure it's worth it.

If you care about animals this is still infinitely better than 99.9% of the industrial production which basically amount to concentration camps. But yeah, the blood is on your hands, it's much easier to forget about it and abstract it away.

I believe most people would be vegetarian if they had to slaughter and prepare a pig, or even a chicken
My company uses Asciidoc for documentation - for almost 20 years now - and it's really good. Now with Antora you can make searchable docs, and with Asciidoctor you can create most diagrams right within the text. We target HTML/PDF/Epub and it works really well.

So you get a result that is Word-quality, but separates presentation and content, and is easy to keep under version control.
y'all dont seem to understand. openai has built the most consequential brand for being frontier in AI. the demand for new AI tooling at all levels is through the roof. Hubspot and Marketo (lets call them the OGs) can add AI all they want, OpenAI will at least get a foot in that door, and yeah they will never be as focused on this customer profile as the OGs, but they will 1) be good enough for many 2) be first to market on capabilities that the OGs will not be 3) have context that the OGs don't (while also true that the OGs have context OpenAI will never have).

Even if this specific one flops, OpenAI has launched 2 agents in the first 2 months of this year. this is the 3rd. they're accelerating to a very exciting horizontal portfolio.
I miss these kind of applications. Nowadays everything is flat tons of wasted space, unresponsive and eats 300mb ram because it runs on electron. Just compare windows 11 task manager to windows 2000 task manager.

Looks like the security/integrity of SSL isn't taken too seriously as the build recommends to use a hex editor to replace "_strtoi64" and "_strtoui64" with "functions likely to return 0 such as iswxdigit" in order to successfully link OpenSSL on windows 2000 and earlier. Unclear what impact such a hack would have on the integrity of the crypto operations performed by OpenSSL?
As a non-audiophile I really enjoyed this dive in to FreeBSD. I use FreeBSD every day but I've never needed to dig in this deep. I really shouldn't be surprised that it was an audiophile that would just keep digging until they got what they wanted. Thanks, most interesting.
> He won the popular vote.

it seems relevant that he just straight up lied a lot the whole time:

I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”

> A week later, on July 11, Trump again took to Truth Social to further distance himself from the plan.

his policies and mates are wildly unpopular, so he just lied about it and then did it anyway. obviously people - and in particular the media - are extremely dumb for believing him, but it's not unreasonable, most politicians don't fully lie about nearly their entire policy program.
Cool, but that's not an option for many people; how long does it take you to get there, and what transportation do you have available to you?
No one mention Opera before adopting webkit/blink it was lightweight and fast. And even it's source code appeared in some places after a leak.
If the documents have the same format, maybe you could include an example document in the prompt, so the boilerplate stuff (like LLC) gets handled properly.
I definitely avoided ML for years just due to math. But having a chatbot who can explain math with examples in any style you want defintely changed my opinion about math and ML in general. A big barrier to math is how it's written imo and not explained in a fun way with lot of examples. I certainly don't have a mathy brain, but I do get things when explained with examples (and certainly find it hard to come up with my own examples while fighting with the symbols).
These zones are generally densely populated areas, and in Europe they usually have low speed limits, and roads design to encourage driving at low speeds.

To think that the minuscule difference in tire dust is significant at all, compared to the pollutants that EVs completely eliminates, is absolutely ridiculous.

The devil is in the details, yes. Have you considered that the policy makers have actually looked into the details? Have you looked into the details? Have you read any detailed reports about tire wear or did you just make up a problem based on your own intuition? Because I’ve seen reports from EV fleet operators that indicate that they see no difference in tire wear. Most likely the added weight (which isn’t all that much for modern, smaller EVs.. you know, the ones that people actually drive in urban/suburban areas in Europe) as a factor is drowned by other larger factors.

And we’re not that far away from EVs with the same or lower weight than their ICE counterparts, so getting these kinds of policies in place has some forward-looking aspects to them as well.

What if EU gives a year to American cloud providers to sell their companies to a European owner?

It's important to learn from the best. Considering the election meddling efforts from agents directly from within the US government who are also owner of large media and AI companies the only reasonable outcome would be either sell those companies to EU owners or guarantee exclusion from EU markets for national security reasons.
It's unlikely people running applications on an operating system that stopped publishing updates over 20 years ago care very much about that.
Functional programming is common in university curriculum. Terrifying that it can still be considered obscure.
I'm not defending Cloudflare on any way, blocking niche browsers is sad. I'm just saying that it doesn't make sense to say it's not a niche browser.
While I agree that 68020 felt like a great improvement over 68000 and 68010, scaled indexed addressing is an unnecessary feature in any ISA that has good support for post-incremented and pre-decremented addressing.

Scaled indexed addressing is useful in 80386 and successors only because they lack general support for addressing modes with register update, and also because they have INC/DEC instructions that are one-byte shorter than ADD/SUB, so it is preferable to add/subtract 1 to an index register, instead of adding/subtracting the operand size.

Scaled indexed addressing allows the writing with a minimum number of instructions of some loops where multiple arrays are accessed, even when those arrays have elements with different sizes. When all array elements have the same size, non-scaled indexed addressing is sufficient (because you increment the index register with the common operand size, not with 1).

However there are many loops where scaled index addressing is not enough for executing them with a minimum number of instructions, while using post-incremented/pre-decremented addressing still allows the minimum number of instructions (e.g. for arrays of structures or for multi-dimensional arrays).

Unfortunately not even MC68020 has complete support for auto-incremented addressing modes, because besides auto-incrementing with the operand size there are cases when one needs auto-incrementing with the increment in a register, like provided by CDC 6600, IBM 801, ARM, HP PA-RISC, IBM POWER and their successors (i.e. when the increment is an array stride that is unknown at compile-time).

On x86-64, using scaled indexed addressing is a necessity for efficient programs. On the other hand on ISAs like ARM, which have both scaled indexed addressing and auto-indexed addressing, it is possible to never use scaled indexed addressing without losing anything, so in such ISAs scaled indexed addressing is superfluous.
Yeah with Instagram I wouldn't be surprised if they just do this to annoy to into using their app. Where they can force timed ads (you have to watch an ad now for a few seconds before it continues).

I noticed another platform (wallapop, a kind of ebay/craigslist here in Spain) that does the same. It never works well in a browser, even in chrome. I think they're just trying to bully their users to their app, which has 30+ trackers in it.
> The misguided focus on containment is a belated echo of the nuclear age, when the United States and others limited the spread of atomic bombs by restricting access to enriched uranium, by keeping an eye on what certain scientists were doing and by sending inspectors into labs and military bases.

I feel there's another comparison that might be relevant, which is comparatively newer and a little closer to the current problem: Past attempts to block the export and foreign-development of encryption. [0]

> If the inevitable proliferation of A.I. endangers our cybersecurity, for example, instead of just regulating exports, it’s time to harden our networked infrastructure — which will also protect it against the ever-present threat of hacking, by random agents or hostile governments.

> And instead of fantasizing about how some future rogue A.I. could attack us, it’s time to start thinking clearly about how corporations and governments could use the A.I. that’s available right now to entrench their dominance, erode our rights, worsen inequality.

Yes, we should be more-focused on what humans (and indirectly corporations) will choose to use (or abuse) the technology for, and less time theorizing about a hypothetical AI overlord's mentality.

In my main job we provide SaaS services. We get more and more requests for "EU located" services.

This is the harsh reality that a lot of people that have gotten used to the convenience store aren't ready for, but also we're in a slow revolution where people are becoming more conscious of the humane cost of animal products and are switching diets or changing their purchasing behaviour.

Definite difference between "city people" and rural people though. We had cousins stay with us for a week or so the one time, granted they were a little younger, but they didn't realize milk comes from a cow. So of course we took them to the local farm we got our milk from so they could see the cows up close.
