The part about <aside> is worded in a way that can be confusing. It implies that a <div> is always going to be displayed as a block, but an <aside> is some kind of special element that could be either a block or inline.

Whether it's "inline", "block", or "inline-block" is determined by the CSS for every visual HTML element. A <div> is not a block, nor an <a> an inline, those are just the defaults and can be easily overridden.
There are allocated funds that will be expanding the network pretty hardcore this year.. unfortunately now after that it will dwindle but between this and next year I'd expect to see a fair amount of NEVI stations as states implement their plans.

It's more like a running joke by now, giving Královec 'back' to the Czech Republic means they could finally have a proper overseas harbor and a Navy. Just think of the possibilities :)
"It's critically important that we maintain a diverse team that's inclusive of scumbags. Many of our partners are scumbags, and we must have staff who can relate to them."
Surely any moderately sophisticated group of criminals can simply create there own end to end encryption apps. So even if the UK, or other governments, get there own way they will only et to see the content related to the less competent criminals. Perhaps it's still worth it to some.
They have no morals, therefore I shouldn't either! That'll teach 'em!
That assumes that Apple's shareholders believe that Apple's privacy reputation (relative to other companies) is more valuable than access to the UK market.

All evidence that I have seen suggests that consumers by and large do not care about this kind of privacy. They do not buy iPhones instead of other phones due to the privacy properties.

Therefore Apple's shareholders could order Apple to stay in the UK market.

And if not, then Apple's customers could be compensated with money and other UK-held assets that the government could confiscate.
Nobody has responded to me with anything about how authors are harmed, so I don't really get who we're protecting here.

It feels more like we just want to punish people, particularly rich people, particularly if they get away with stuff we're afraid to try.
On the diagnostics side of things, the compiler produces these in two places:

1. If you try to define a `mut` field (= one you can normally assign a new value), it will produce an error at the definition site

2. If you try to do something like `some_inline_value.field = value` it also produces an error at the call/assignment site

The actual messages could use some improvements, but that's not a super high priority for the time being as I'm more focusing on the language overall.
Musk is currently fighting to further global warming. Sitting Congress members are, as we speak, being denied access to EPA headquarters as he dismantles the organization. I live in Washington DC, every government employee who works on anything vaguely environmental is preparing to be fired (or has been already). References to climate change have been scrubbed from nearly every government website. His deputies are currently inside NOAA, and the soon-to-be OMB director was a primary author of Project 2025 which calls for NOAA to be dismantled. He is tacitly supporting America's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, which is about to cause a domino effect of other countries quitting ("why should we commit to anything if the richest country in the world isn't going to").

It is not counterproductive to not want to financially support this person. He has already declared he's going to end EV subsidies, a much more damaging move than a theoretical handful of people deciding not to buy an EV, and he has repeatedly shown that the only thing he cares about is money. The majority party in Congress is not going to stop him, the president is not going to stop him, the only thing that will stop him is the prospect of losing money.
This year states will begin implementing their submitted plans with the disbursed funds.
The political situation is not favourable to that.
I think you are using inflammatory language by calling the point nonsense.

As an outside observer, literally no skin in this game, I can see his point. If his C code changes breaks other C code then he is at an advantage compared to if his C code breaks a Rust binding or Rust drivers. The degree to which this adds to his burden of maintenance is up to him to decide.

Sorry, but I reflect a LOT. I'm well aware of the media's limitations the limitations of scientists and that, for example, the CDC is wrong at times. But the situation being discussed is not comparable. I understand however, that for someone on the right who believes Trump's constant lies, a way must be found for understanding how those on the left can disagree.
Well, one side just quit.

And that particular side was told by Linus Torvalds himself that his way of Social Media brigading is inappropriate for kernel development, and that the current process works.

I choose to believe Linus. His work on and guidance of the kernel used to and still does work pretty great.
>taxis in new york were and continue to be totally fine. you just stand outside and get in ~20 seconds later, with no hassles or apps

Unless you weren't white, or you wanted to leave Manhattan (or even go north of 96th street). Otherwise, yeah I guess they were okay.
Meta open-sourced it my guy
I was curious about the phrasing of the Elisha Otis (of elevators) memorial: "inventor of the upended street".

> Man in his upended street must know he is becoming a mere numerical item of convenience; on the way to being a thing. His inherent instinct for love and beauty is not only becoming suspect but, in spite of all intent, useless to society. He sees the human creature atrophy as he sees poverty of imagination in much "modern art," so-called. But it was Walt Whitman himself who raised the perpendicular hand to declare: "It is provided in the essence of things that from any fruition of success no matter what, shall come forth something to make a greater struggle necessary." This is what is now coming forth in our architecture as in our life.

The UK public would never accept this. There's basically almost no interest in E2EE at all, but the idea of not being able to take your iPhone to the Apple Store would be riot-inducing. And I think the average Brit would be more comfortable posting their phone to the US than to France.

If Apple really has the guts to stare this one down, then I would expect it's the government who blinks.
Yes, this would be something i would love to read

Nothing Elon says or does aligns with Tesla's master plan anymore. I can take my money elsewhere until their crony-filled board does the needful and dumps him. Rivian R2 is going to be amazing.
Even before the ribbon they had identified and were trying to deal with the problem. I think either office 2000 or xp had the 'traditional' drop down menus but would hide less-used items until you clicked a little ≫ expander at the bottom, the downside being that would change the layout of the menu a bit as less/most-used changed which works against learning what items are located where.
My position is that whether or not this is true, this is not the basis for sound and equitable policy. If I were black, I would probably be a little offended at the insinuation.
I can see where you're coming from.

I'll be honest, when I read the initial comment I interpreted his question to be closer to

"stop Meta from collecting my data to a meaningful degree"

vs how you've interpreted it -

"reduce the amount of data Meta tracks even if only marginally"

That's why the response saying "nothing" made sense to me, because blocking the trackers only has such a minor effect on Metas tracking.

I suspect this refers to a klaxon horn. Horseradish graters (some of them) were boxes with a crank handle, and a cog wheel (thrumming a metal strip connected to the amplifying horn) was a vital part of klaxons. Awooga.
My two favorite Americans are Louis Armstrong and George Washington. Glad to see this on Hacker News!
Sure creative people will always create but the scope of that creativity will be limited if we do away with intellectual property. Steve Spielberg would probably always have created movies, but he wouldn't have been able to make Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan,or Indiana Jones without capital from the studio system, and the studio system wouldn't have provided him with that capital of they couldn't extract economic rents from the copyright for those films.
One which buying books for your LLM doesn't answer either. In analogy to humans, you might as well give your LLM a library card.
In Inko a borrow is sort of a hybrid in that it does increment a counter, but there's no shared ownership like there is in traditional reference counting (e.g. a borrow is never tasked with cleaning up data).

Terminology is a bit annoying here, as e.g. "reference" can also be interpreted as "a pointer", though it depends on who you ask. I stuck with "borrow" because that just made the most sense to me :)
Defense is the largest discretionary budget item. They can cut it by simply not including as much money in the budget for it.

There's such a mass of possible works that it hardly constrains someone that if you could cast a magic spell preventing someone from distributing or accessing your particular work and then burned it, your spell would have essentially no effect-- no one would notice it and no one would be harmed.

As long as discussion of a work that has published is not impeded, the public is not harmed even by these 50-years after life copyrights other than by that they are accumulated by certain companies who themselves become problems.

When someone decides to use someone's work without compensation he is, even though he is not deprived of the work itself, still robbed. But it's not a theft of goods, it's theft of service. The copyright infringer isn't the guy who steals your phone, it's the guy who even you have done some work for but who refuses to pay.

With this view you can also believe, without hypocrisy, that what the LLM firms are doing is wrong while what Schwartz did was not, since the authors in question weren't deprived of any royalties or payments due to them due to due to the publishing model for scientific works.

On the surface it's pretty obvious that classroom learning doesn't immediately translate to real world experience, but the paper's finding seems to be more about the extreme degree of discrepancy between the two cohorts. It almost feels like a comment on social class distinctions - there are children who get classroom educations that don't have to use it, while others have to use the skills but don't get the related education.

Yes it's some physical connection being broken. It's not unusual to adjust the ways in which the electrical grid is connected. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q-aVBv7PWM from Practical Engineering which talks about some of the nuances of building switches which can break connections between different parts of the grid safely.
For now. They're also a good number of years ahead of most of them.. in finance and software.
They could have only leached and refrained from sharing any part of copyrighted data. If i were to commit something as risky as this, that is what i would do.
The paper:

Inbal Arnon, et al. Whale song shows language-like statistical structure. Science 387, 649-653 (2025). DOI: 10.1126/science.adq7055

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq7055

Abstract: Humpback whale song is a culturally transmitted behavior. Human language, which is also culturally transmitted, has statistically coherent parts whose frequency distribution follows a power law. These properties facilitate learning and may therefore arise because of their contribution to the faithful transmission of language over multiple cultural generations. If so, we would expect to find them in other culturally transmitted systems. In this study, we applied methods based on infant speech segmentation to 8 years of humpback recordings, uncovering in whale song the same statistical structure that is a hallmark of human language. This commonality, in two evolutionarily distant species, points to the role of learning and cultural transmission in the emergence of properties thought to be unique to human language.

Why Startup Wealth Never Trickles Down to Employees
No, Fox News and right-wing media erode basic trust by heavily overemphasizing the waste aspect vs. the utility aspect, just like you are doing now. There is more waste and fraud happening with private insurers than Medicaid, so unless you have an alternative to health insurance, you are tilting at windmills.

> Biden trumpeted hiring 80,000 new IRS agents to audit taxpayers.

To audit wealthy* taxpayers. Working class people were already being audited because it's really easy to audit an incorrect return that only has a W-2 and Schedule A.

> The IRS is now auditing people who sell $600 on etsy and ebay

That's a lie and I'm assuming it is in bad faith since the article you linked doesn't support what you said. Having to enter a 1099-K is not the same as being audited. You are ridiculous.
I think the key is to think through the incentives for future authors.

As a thought experiment, say that the idea someday becomes mainstream that there is no reason to read any book or research publication because you can just ask an AI to describe and quote at length from the contents of anything you might want to read. In such a future, I think it's reasonable to predict that there would be less incentive to publish and thus less people publishing things.

In that case, I would argue the "hurt" is primarily to society as a whole, and also to people who might have otherwise enjoyed a career in writing.

Having said that, I don't think we're particularly close to living in that future. For one thing I'd say that the ability to receive compensation from holding a copyright doesn't seem to be the most important incentive for people to create things (written or otherwise), though it is for some people. But mostly, I just don't think this idea of chatting with an AI instead of reading things is very mainstream, maybe at least in part because it isn't very easy to get them to quote at length. What I don't know is whether this is likely to change or how quickly.

That would not have an affect on human evolution. The time period was too short, too recent, and that was a series of independent local events.

Further, wars were almost always between regional neighbors then as well.

Hi, I'm Reyndert Lindeyer. I'm a junior software developer looking to break into the industry with over three years experience in relevant software testing working with TCS Canada.

I'm currently based out of South Western Ontario in Canada and am 100% ok with moving for the job if it's hybrid or fully in-office. I have a background in C# and Java, with some previous experience with C++. I've also done a few small projects and courses using React, Node.js, and Python.
Wait, has anyone had any illusion that google wanted to continue to allow developers to make good content filtering? They are in a full-blown war against adblocking.
What Google's return to defense AI means
> So why would you call it DEI or equity or anything similar?

Because in practice, it seems to me that DEI is almost always used to justify some kind of grift or other uselessness (renaming master to main, for example). I don't care that the outcome did not increase DEI; I care that the justification did.

There is a narrative in the Democratic party that DEI policy is good and must not be questioned, which is stupid as hell because it basically is guaranteed to burn out any goodwill that folks might have had to the concept. I was watching an official video from LAFD where a firefighter said "people want first responders that look like them" and then later in the video said "it doesn't matter that I can't carry an adult man out of a fire because they shouldn't have been there in the first place."

This is absolutely deranged; the entire Democratic party needs to either boot out the DEI crusaders or we will continue to seem out of touch and untrustworthy.
Are there really any political opponents any more? Al the parties that matter are either explicitly in favour of these ideas or at least behave as though they are.
Isn't this a side effect of one area of Japan building their electrical grid with components from British manufactures while the other used American-made components?
A lot of towers in the park are located in places where the park is actually private property, so they are built to discourage through traffic or visitors that might help to keep it safe.

The other thing is that people visit their local, convenient parks unless there is a really good reason to travel far for one; and if everyone has their tower in a park, then why would they go to anyone else’s?
you can stack allocate with just `struct` in C#. if you put a struct in a local variable, it'll be on the stack

`ref struct` allows that struct to contain refs, and disallows putting it on the heap (so, you can't have an array/list of ref structs, and a class or a normal struct can't have a ref struct field)
Yes. However I occasionally hop on LinkedIn for its job board, YouTube to watch a tutorial or Reddit when I’ve made something that I wanna share like a project or a meme. Other than that, I avoid these sites like the absolute plague. I virtually never browse them for fun.
It isn't that someone was hurt. We have one private entity gaining power by centralizing knowledge (which they never contributed to) and making people pay for regurgitating the distilled knowledge, for profit.

Few entities can do that (I can't).

Most people are forced to work for companies that sell their work to the higher bidder (which are the very entities mentioned above), or ask them to use AI (under the condition that such work is accessible to the AI entities).

It's obviously a vicious circle, if people can't oppose their work to be ingested and repackaged by a few AI giants.
I'm fine with them using my books to train an open source model, but it would have been nice to be asked.
maintaining a precarious class benefits those in power
There's earlier papers (in PNAS?) showing the same thing. One of them at least demonstrated that the correlation between impact and dropout was fairly low, suggesting that scientist dropout was not very closely related to quality of contributions or something.

I have no doubt in the paper's conclusions but think science is underestimating the implications, in terms of attributions of credit or reasons for success.
Incredible work! I have listened to several tts and to have this be free and in complete control of the customer is absolutely incredible. This will unlock new use cases

I made https://app.readaloudto.me/ as a hobby thing and now it could be enhanced with a local tts option!
Wow... thank you so much. I actually couldn't get that way to work, but adding RunAsInvoker in the registry worked for us. I can't believe all it took was one registry entry.
I understand it increases the total lifetime of the battery, and certainly I do know a few people who are still using their iPhone 8, but most people seem to replace devices every 4 years at least. I just don't find the tradeoff worth it, but I understand from some of the sibling comments that this is probably most useful for people who don't typically run on battery power.
Very cool! I couldn't tell from the article if Kaliningrad will remain on a grid with the Baltics or become its own island.
I spent twenty years feeling ashamed about my very crooked teeth. I told myself that it didn't matter, that it wasn't a problem, but I was very self-conscious of it. People used to give me shit for not smiling in photos, but it was because I hated the way my teeth looked. Then in my late 30s, I finally just gave up and got braces. 18 months later, they came off, and now I love the way my teeth look. I have a huge smile in all my photos.

So yeah, accept the things that you need to in life. But it's also OK to avoid needless suffering.
It creates a nasty precedent doesn't it? If Apple can provide the UK government with foreign data, what's to stop Russia or China making them provide data on UK minister's phones, or more likely dissidents in exile? I can't see on what basis the government thinks they're going to get to be exceptional here?
I believe they switched to pagers because their location can't be tracked. Every pager message is broadcast across the whole country and the pagers just listen to all of them and only tell the owner about the ones meant for them.

A phone has to at least tell the nearest tower that it's within range so that the tower can know to send it messages. After that, when it get's a message it sends some sort of acknowledgement. In theory anyone can pick up those messages with a phased array or set of directional antennas and get a directional fix on the phone.
This is correct. Ref structs and refs are also subject to similar[0] to Rust's lifetime analysis to prevent them from being ever invalidated and having use-after-free (even if that free is essentially going out of scope or popping a stack frame).

I assume pjc50 specifically refers to the fact that `ref struct` gives a strong guarantee while a regular struct can be placed wherever.

Devil's advocate: the main objective was to limit full read access required by many extensions and naively installed by most users. There was no way to facilitate traditional content blocking AND achieve that objective.
It's pretty simple, you are absolutely allowed to do that, and it's been done forever.

Does it still use the Mix computer and assembler?

Thanks for the great and useful feedback. Yes, I love LibreOffice and agree that area is a little awkward so needs an update
It was really Schroeder who got us into that mess, and gas heating for homes was already very popular in the 1990s in Germany (and none of the home owners really asked or cared where that cheap gas is actually coming from).

Trump was laughed at because it was obvious that he wanted us to buy US gas at a premium instead - not because he was 'concerned' about Germany's dependence on Russian gas (and also - of course - because he's a blithering idiot).

In any case, the discussion is about the Baltics getting more independent from Russia (hooray!), not about Germany :)
