They have this power precisely because you have given up. Government power is derived from the consent of the goverened. Collective action does work and always will, but it needs to be coordinated. If enough people in the UK stopped going to work, they could affect change pretty quickly I reckon.
You are out of your mind if you think files in iCloud are somehow outside the reach of US intel.

It’s been publicly used in a bunch of prosecutions at this point.
good distinction

IMO there's a hack about this,

authors can claim that they allow for public use unless it's used for training LLMs. And all of training work would fall under 2 because they would be used against the copyright.
There are also more immediate problems. Think about this: we are on the cusp of the bird flu epidemic, and he nominated an antivaxxer for secretary of health and human services.

I work for a small company trying to reduce emissions so none of my colleagues need convincing. I am still organizing action on climate change outside of work, I just don't feel particularly hopeful about it right now.

I assume its the USA using the UK to do its dirty work, as always?

Hence why Trump was cheering on Starmer the other day, despite all that has gone on between them.

Modern OPNsense shouldn't be single threaded on routing. I guess without knowing the exact CPU it's tough to say, but a xeon-d will easily do 10Gbe routing which is ~1700 single core passmark, 11k for all cores.

I’ve never worked in a company with data the gov’t cared about that wouldn’t have sirens going off. Why is Joe SSHing into the EU data center? And now why’s he trying to turn off the GuardDuty rule that caught him? And why is he trying to delete that from CloudTrail? And why is the SOC 2 auditor asking why he has access to delete things from CloudTrail in the first place?”

You’d have to get a surprising number of people to go along with it.

Which party, with a realistic chance of being first past the post, could you vote for that wouldn't bring this in?

This is Hobson's choice as far as I can see.

I don't think there's anyone you could currently vote for that wouldn't do this.
I'm so tired of hearing this. Just because you agree with him doesn't make him the damn fuhrer. We are supposed to live in a country of laws and checks and balances. Even if he got 80% of the vote, he still needs to respect the Constitution and take basic care to protect us from bad actors (giving a 19 year old a backdoor to our most sensitive systems is not).

I'm completely APPALLED at how many outright fascists have crawled out of the HN woodwork this year.
Probably the single biggest thing I learned growing up is that you can safely live by "Everyone is in it for themselves".

It's incredibly rare to find people who hold ideals that are detrimental to their own life.
Feynman was correct for science in school, however arithmetic is fundamental and maybe one level above the root of all mathematics. Children should be able to do most of it via mental lookup tables and apply that knowledge on paper. For some reason, they can't.
Yes, publishers don’t pay authors as much as they deserve, but LibGen pays them literally nothing. Authors tend to love libraries but hate piracy. Why? Because earning something is better than earning nothing.

Have you ever submitted an ILL request? It’s extremely simple. Many library systems even integrate with WorldCat, so submitting a request for any book just takes a few clicks.

I’m mostly speaking about people in the US. Every single county in the entire country has a public library. Almost all of them have ILL.

I think equity is a fair argument for the existence of services like LibGen in many parts of the world, but the reality is that almost everyone using a book piracy sites in a first-world country is using it to pirate an in-print book that they just don’t want to go to the trouble of borrowing or buying.
That's the NYT's case. Not necessarily very strong.

I'm not speaking bad of Scala or the JVM: I actually agree. When the GC and overhead don't matter, a JVM language is an absolutely fantastic choice. I was more commenting that Rust can be simple if you architect it right, that's all.

I've mostly come to the conclusion that a mediocre engineer can write performant enough Java/Scala/Clojure/Kotlin/etc. Usually even more performant than what an inexperienced/mediocre C/C++/Rust engineer could write and have an easier time doing it. However trying to ilk out the last bit of performance in a JVM language can be very challenging.

Those are the exception these days though, I think?
> If you plug a laptop into a closet at MIT to download some scientific papers you forfeit your life.

In case anybody here doesn't know, that's a reference to Aaron Swartz, an activist (and Reddit co-founder) that was risking 35 years in prison and a $1 million fine just for downloading a lot of academic papers from JSTOR. He eventually took his life because of the pressure. May his soul rest in peace.

I find this such a strange remark on this front.

You got less than 1% of a book... from an author who has passed away... who wrote on a research topic that was funded by an institution that takes in hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants each year...

I'm not an author (although I do generate almost exclusively IP for a living) and I think this is about as weak a form of this argument as you possibly make.

So right back at ya... who was hurt in your example?

What are the challenges with replicating raspberry pi success of open(?) hardware for other form factors such as tablets, ”smart” (I prefer dumb) displays, and yes watches. Without bells and whistles, but still appealing enough that people like me (neither a hardware guy nor an embedded guy) can buy, use, and play around with it without accidentally bricking it?

I know HN is biased toward open stacks, and I know economies of scale fuck up most idealistic startups who try, or become extreme niche hobbies. Yet, I am hopeful that there’s an incentive sweet spot where a healthy ecosystem can grow around open commodity hardware.
The lesson here is make sure you only break the rules in the limits of severity that your wealth class allows.

MIT students will get away with breaking bigger rules than community college students will.
In my experience, screen reader users stick to the mainstream browsers to preserve compatibility. https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey10/
Worth calling out that's for "children under 18". If you scroll down to specifically "children under 6", since people talking about "screen time" are usually more worried about 6 year olds than 16 year olds, those hours go to 2.42/1.54 childcare against 1.17/1.79 TV.

But I think I'd look at it the other way. The only category on here that's really "discretionary time" is "Leisure and sports". Across the board, parents are averaging about 12% there. The average across the population (including parents) is 22%.[0] This is also averaging everything across weekends as well. Expectedly, people have more free time on the weekends[1].

I'd also point out the footnote:

> NOTE: A primary activity refers to an individual's main activity. Other activities done simultaneously are not included.

There is nothing I do while my kid is (1) home and (2) awake that doesn't involve her taking up a large part of my time and attention.

When it's a dark evening in the middle of winter and I'm setting up a ladder in three feet of snow to climb up on the roof and run an auger down the sewer vent on the roof... I'm still spending probably a third to half of my time on her.

When I've got two pans on the fire, something in the toaster oven, and I'm trying to mind a pot I'm filling up with water to turn into supper... I guess, yeah, running back and forth to try and clean up some spilled juice and get her changed out of the wet clothes while I don't let anything burn or overflow is still technically mostly "food preparation and cleanup".

I don't even know where "planning child's birthday party" fits into this whole thing, but it's not something I'm doing _with_ my kid so it doesn't seem to be caring for household children by the general phrasing of these options. (And you might think "yeah but that only happens once a year" and you'd be right... but it's always something.)

And yeah, after she was asleep I did a bunch of "housework" and at some point I sat down for an hour and "watched TV" while I poked away at a bunch of other smaller things that needed doing. At some point I feel asleep in a chair so I'm not sure whether my primary activity was "sleep" or "watching television".

So that's a rundown of a recent evening of mine which had around 0 hours spent on childcare and an hour on TV.

Obviously "lived experience" is not "data", but that's at least _a_ perspective--yes, by the numbers I probably spend more time watching TV than caring for my kid but no, she's still the main time sink on my day outside of sleep and work (and sometimes not even sleep) and I certainly do not have a bunch of free time I could be allocating to childcare so she spent less time watching TV.

I like how this is structured. When I read that inline types get copied-on-borrow I was pretty put off. Then since fields of inline types can't be assigned new values it seems a bit better, as long as you roughly know what's happening. Hopefully the diagnostics are good enough there. I like the detailed alternatives that weren't chosen.

I appreciate being able to choose which side of the tradeoff (always-copy or heap allocated) you want to be on, but either way be assured it's safe. Not sure how I feel about it in practice without trying it, though :)

They definitely can.

I rolled out reasoning for my interactive reader app, and I tried to extract R1's reasoning traces to use with my existing models, but found its COT for writing wasn't particularly useful*.

Instead of leaning on R1 I came up with my own framework for getting the LLM to infer the reader's underlying frame of mind through long chains of thought, and with enough guidance and a some hand edited examples I was able to get reasoning traces that demonstrated real insight into reader behavior.

Obviously it's much easier in my case because it's an interactive experience: the reader is telling the AI what action they'd like the main character to try, and that in turn is an obvious hint into how they want things go otherwise. But readers don't want everything to go perfectly every time, so it matters that the LLMs are also getting very good picking up on non-obvious signals in reader behavior.

With COT the model infers the reader expectations and state of mind in its own way and then "thinks" itself into how to subvert their expectations, especially in ways that will have a meaningful payoff for the specific reader. That's a huge improvement over an LLM's typical attempts at subversion which tend to bounce between being too repetitive to feel surprising, or too unpredictable to feel rewarding.

(* I agree that current reasoning oriented post-training over-indexes on math and coding, mostly because the reward functions are easier. But I'm also very ok with that as someone trying to compete in the space)
What drew these 1,300 perfect circles on the sea floor? We may know
But the point of the response is that "getting money from selling music" is, in digital era, artificial scarcity. I.e. the copyright laws that big corporations are lobbying for continued enforcement and tightening, are the very thing that create this artificial scarcity that they are best positioned to profit off.

Cut out copyright, and no one will be getting any money from selling music per copy (or equivalent) - as it should be.
If you have the right soil and plenty of safe ground water there is nothing wrong with septic and wells in the suburbs. However even at suburb density public systems are not that much more expensive and you gain never having to worry. I have several times in my life on well water turned the faucet on and no water - $2000 to a well driller to replace the pump and I had water again - the pumps last 30 years though essentially no other costs (electric but that is cheap) so overall a well is cheaper. With a septic system it is $600 to pump it every few years, but if the system fails it is $30,000 to replace it.

Again though this depends on where you live. In some places filter raw sewage through 2 cm of dirt and it is safe to drink - in other places raw sewage will travel miles. Likewise some places have plenty of safe water, other places have little water and still other places the water isn't safe to drink.
I prefer C, OCaml, Ada, Elixir, Go, Factor, Lua (LuaJIT), etc.
Show HN: SandboxAI – Run AI generated code in containers

Everyone is responsible for the full effects of his actions. One is literally responsible for all consequences, everything no matter how indirect.

This absolute responsibility is physics, while the limited 'only direct consequences' type thing is a choice made in some human legal systems.

People are smart. They know what stress they put on people and from interacting with them they get a good feel of much they can take. If they ignore that, or decide not to talk to people they're putting stress or choose to ignore things, that's only intentional negligence.

I don't think the prosecutors cared. I don't think we should judge unless there double standards or hypocrisy, but let's not imagine they aren't responsible for things that resulted from their action and inaction. You cause what you case.

I've tried to explain the issues with the UK government's stance on digital privacy to my friends. The responses I get:

* I have nothing to hide, I don't care

* Oh come on, our government doesn't care what I'm up to

* The UK will never be totalitarian. I'm not scared of the government

* The UK civil service is incompetent and could never pull this off (fair point, although I worry about the safety of my personal data in the hands of such people)

What's interesting is that in many cities now, Uber and Lyft are in fact more expensive than taxis. And the experience is equally mediocre. The pendulum has swung back the other way. The only thing they have going for them now is the app based convenience, which is eroding as more "yellow cab" type traditional taxis band together and get set up with their own sort of city-specific app.
Also if you pirate everything you're not incentivizing people to make things in a more ethical manner. I've mostly cancelled my streaming services (I'll get different ones for a month at a time for specific shows) but I still pay for Dropout.tv (when they turned a profit they paid out a dividend to actors) and Patreon for YouTube creators that have high quality content.
Then why are we mad about the copyright stuff?

Maybe you should think about it a while longer. Or find a friend who's better at coming up with ideas to help.

There are about a zillion other explanations. Maybe they think that "ANY messaging that encourages EVs dissuades the public from going public transport" and that's harmful. Maybe they see other EV makers as preferable to Tesla. Maybe they care deeply about global warming but just as you said, are letting their anger get in the way of that goal. Maybe they see the immediate harms of Musk's policies as a more urgent problem than climate change.

There's a tremendous leap between "Not supporting Tesla because of Musk" and climate denialism.
