You're right but we have been repeatedly told that attractiveness only matters for women, or somehow matters more for them than for men. That generally isn't true. You might be able to pay to play if you're a really rich guy, but that is anti-romantic isn't it?
Yes, because deploying the military domestically and overriding an FTC ALJ's legal interpretation are clearly comparable.
That’s a rust library or rather typst code also gets published to crates.io.
But it’s not something that can be turned into a libtypst.so/dylib/dll.
SunOS 4.x is the BSD lineage and SunOS 5.x the Solaris lineage, or at least was when i worked at Sun.
Hmm... a slightly different approach I've seen in the past is that instead of embedding each step separately, you concatenate them together. I wonder if that would make the path more linear/understandable?
I think it's fair to respond to hypothetical problems with hypothetical solutions that I think are plausible and/or likely.
This is tweeted from the official White House account.

To Americans, please WAKE up.

To all people reading this site and working for Musk companies - can you please explain how do you feel about it ? Don't mix work and politics argument ?

Edit: By 'it' I mean an unprecedented power grab by Trump / Musk. They are trying to cut every agency and institution that could limit them, in a blantantly illegal way, and using tech-enabled propaganda machine to achieve their goals. This is very much a tech topic we should massively be discussing on HN, but for some reason it's being silenced. We used to say 'software is eating the world'. Software is currently turning USA into a dictatorship.
That's the practical effect of the ruling. It would have prevented Nixon from being prosecuted.
I interpreted this as a batch write, e.g. "write these 10k entries and then come back". The benefit of that is way less overhead versus 10k concurrent background routines each writing individual rows to the DB. The downside is, as you've noted, that you can't "stream" new writes in as older ones finish.

There's a tradeoff here between batch size and concurrency, but perhaps they've already benchmarked it and "single-threaded" batches of 10k writes performed best.
How do you feel about Google effectively controlling the web, since they control the browser with overwhelming market share?

Is that a factor, or...?
It is not just a case of people misplacing the blame. There was massive amount of lying and demonization of anyone not conservative right going on. There was a lot of fearmongering and hate ... all enabled by "moderates".

The movements like these did not just happened because people were unhappy. They are result of long political project that was enabled, excused and defended for years.
> Rigidly synchronized at the bit level...the best phone calls ever got.

We must own the same lawn and have the same troubles with the neighborhood kids. It's almost like making a circuit out of a few 7400-series ICs, versus writing a 2GB electron app to increment integers on a 16-core machine... but guess which is easier and more widely used.
I agree, with the addendum that the value of the output should also be considered here - Does the value of the work justify the cost?

9 and 14 are the only ones I would interpret as applying more to the Democrats.

Yes, I (a student at the time at a midwest USA university) remember being on a BITNET relay chat in the fall of 1989 chatting with a German university student while the Berlin Wall was falling down. To me that was magical - it was like having a teleporter and being "virtually" there instead of just watching the news on TV.
Many would be adjacent to the new ruler. The startup shutters but the VP of Engineering is already starting something new with his old reports.
> you should have to manually confirm with like "Yes I want to link to this device". And then if you thought you were scanning a group invite code you'd realize you weren't. (Yeah, you'd still have to realize that, but I think it's a meaningful step up over just "you scanned a code to join a group and instead it silently linked a different device".)

Remember that Signal is designed for non-technical users. Many/most do not understand QR codes, links, linking, etc, and they do not think much about it. They take an immediate, instinctive guess and click on something - often to get it off the screen so they can go back to what they were doing.

Do you have reason to think there is not confirmation? Maybe Signal's documentation will tell you.
Signal-FOSS is still around right? Got a link to some of the drama? I'm curious to see what their grounds were. Did they just object to the use of their name?
The terrifying thin i learned recently is that norms are how laws work.

This i learned from a discussion between a magistrate and legal scholar.

This means that a norm violation, practically speaking, is a law violation. Which i guess is a crime. But that has to go to the courts to be judged.
> should poison what they gain and anything found afterwards.

That's a more expansive proposal than the law being discussed. The law is narrower than "investigating" and is focused only on interrogating a suspect, so presumably post-Miranda warning. And in this context being a "suspect" is a specific category elevated from being a witness or person of interest. And then the only penalty in the law is making a confession obtained as the result of a lie to a suspect during an interrogation inadmissable.

Those differences address the concerns mentioned downthread with lying in the context of undercover work.
along those lines, maybe dreaming is piecing together new adventures imagined from snippets of reality.
> Nothing prevents the next president from having a radically different opinion.

Of course, this is only relevant if they are interested in having a 'next' president, something which it seems a segment of society is less than open to.

Then i wouldn't call them computers, just like i wouldn't call experiments with single quantum gates computers. But if a physics experiment utilizes quantum processes to factorize a number (even if it's only the number 21), then I'd call that a computation, and the experimental setup a computer.
I suspect this may get flagged as it is a .onion domain and most do not likely have the Tor browser set up to read it. Just as a suggestion consider adding a clear-web landing page that links to your .onion and talks about what it is and why people should install the Tor browser. There are free hosting platforms for a simple landing page like Github or Neocities. Others may have more ideas.
Oh wow someone actually posted, thanks random hn person for stopping by <3
I though5 drugs were illegal where you come from.. cuz you smokin' some bad shit, blyat.
It sounds like all that's needed is a device that had been linked in the past. Unlinking doesn't have the security requirements you'd think it would and there's a phishing attack to make scanning a QR code trigger a device link (which seems really really bad if the user doesn't even have to take much action)
"With the numbers found above, the conservative user would have an energy footprint of 4 Wh per day, from their use of LLMs. The heavy user, on the other hand, will have a footprint of ~4.5 kWh per day." I think comparing this to electric car usage @ 1/3 kWh per mile is useful. So a very heavy user could spend 13.5 miles of car driving per day?
Can any modern company be said to be of similar size to Bell Labs in it's prime? Bell Labs were only possible due to a monopoly supplying massive amounts of funding for about a century. MS had a few decades of domination in the consumer desktop OS space, but they always had competition and I would be very surprised if they had the kind of revenue streams that make this type of long-term investment possible - regular payments from nearly every household and business in the country, with easy ability to make predictions about current and future proceeds just by counting heads.
Apple no longer has to pay a royalty that’s a percentage of the whole phone. Integrating the modem into the SoC saves power and space.
> Chinese cyber organizations openly acknowledge and publicize their partnerships. This openness was particularly interesting to observe and may be influenced by cultural factors, such as the Confucian emphasis on shared knowledge and a political framework that encourages collective efforts.

I or anyone outside obviously cannot verify the technical details. However, the above statement struck as particularly uninformed. As any engineer in East Asia can tell you, there is nothing especially collaborative about tech in Confucian culture; if anything, the engineers in that region admire the free speech and discussion traditionally prized in the Western culture. Calling Chinese political framework, especially in the context of national security, conducive to open public discussion was quite ironic to see.

Edit: the punchline is this. If a friend who is always secretive and deceptive about his personal life is suddenly openly discussing his life, what does that say about the details he just disclosed and/or the situation he is currently in?

source: I regularly work with engineers from that culture and studied relevant geopolitics.
Democratic party did not moved left, not even close to it. Stop blaming left who holds no power for what right does.

Democratic party systematically promotes centrists and measured politicians.
I have no idea what Apple was thinking with the Vision. It is priced for professionals but then all the promo material was regarding various ways to isolate yourself from your family.

I wish they'd slim it down and make it affordable for a normal human so they can iterate on it. But even then I would not buy it unless someone gets us to an unlocked bootloader and Linux.
> Consider architecture (bland), clothing (low durability), food (fast food, frozen food, worse nutrition, bland taste) etc etc. Sure, people happily buy all this stuff, it works. But I can't help but feel our stuff is a lot worse than it used to be. I bet I'm not alone.

For every intricate handcrafted cathedral or mansion, there were millions of one room huts with leaky roofs. A change of clothes used to be an investment along the lines of what an expensive phone or even a car is for us today, so most people only had one or two changes of clothes, and not in very good condition. Food used to take up most of a person's wages and a bad harvest could cause immediate starvation for large numbers of people. Also, most people a diet consisting almost entirely of grains.

So, yea, if you are imagining some kind of past where you happened to be an aristocrat, you could live in a beautifully handcrafted house, wear only hand-tailored clothes, and eat heirloom vegetables for every meal. But if you're imagining yourself as an aristocrat, then you can live pretty well with that status in the modern era too.
Can we do anything about a government agency making such a gross lie?
The Court distinguished between executive officers and quasi-legislative or quasi-judicial officers. The Court held that the latter may be removed only with procedures consistent with statutory conditions enacted by Congress, but the former serve at the pleasure of the President and may be removed at his discretion. The Court ruled that the Federal Trade Commission was a quasi-legislative body because it adjudicated cases and promulgated rules. Thus, the President could not fire a member solely for political reasons. Therefore, Humphrey's firing was improper.

> "Agree that energy use is ethical."

Energy use is clearly neither ethical nor unethical in the abstract.

> "But only through automation do we improve materially as a species!"

Technology is not the only cause of change, and not all changes caused by technology are improvements. I believe the changes caused by LLMs are strict setbacks for humanity as a whole, but we will see.

> I've always wondered if this is why there's far more published footage of Ukranian combat video than Russian.

I'm sure Russia's meat wave tactics have more of a role. If you're sending your troops in suicide missions, including guys without weapons and even in crutches, you're not exactly too keen in having them carrying mobile phones to document the experience or even, heavens forbid, survive by surrendering.
One of the things I've noticed in the last several years is that I seem to have more interactions online that leave me without any doubt in my mind that the other party is experiencing some manner of psychosis. You'd occasionally run into people like this on YouTube in the late-2000s and on Reddit in the early-2010s, but it had a certain novelty to it back then. Everyone had a story about into an argument with some crazy guy online. In the last couple of years, I'd say I see someone experiencing some sort of psychological crisis online more days than not. This hasn't had the kind of negative impact that SEO had on the Internet, but it certainly hasn't helped.
Or that Signal shouldn't have started it in the first place
People are facing existential dread that the knowledge they worked years for is possibly about to become worth a $20 monthly subscription. People will downplay it for years no matter what.
It's a Schrödinger's false-flag! Just incompetent enough to look like a false flag. But at the same time, it's coming from the heart of US bureaucracy, which finds cash to build multi-billion dollar hidden data centers, but is also inflexible enough properly pay for overtime and off-schedule work.
I could not disagree more. Our "stuff" is so much better than it was before. Would you choose to drive a 1982 Chrysler La Baron versus a 2025 Toyota Prius? A 2025 Prius is objectively a better car than any car in existence in the 1980s. Clothes last longer and are made more efficiently than in the 1990s which places less burden on the environment. Technology? Two devices replace a dozen 1970's devices (stereo, record player, phone, ...). Cookware is made more efficiently out of better materials. You don't need forever chemical teflon to have a non-stick pan these days.
Who will enforce following the law if the executive branch ignores the judicial?

In theory the military is sworn to defend the constitution, but if the DOD is headed by a Trump loyalist (it is), then what?
"As soon as it starts to hurt" is not some hopelessly complex and useless standard that involves delving into philosophies of subjective pain sensation. It is actually obvious and easy to follow.

Use it, but when it hurts, stop.
Using any resource without care is unethical. It doesn’t matter how abundant or free it is. We don't have infinite resources. And using AI unnecessarily or inefficiently or abusively is a waste of resource and therefore unethical.

Information is a resource. And bottling it up is unethical.

Eliminating people means freeing up resources. So that is ethical. Firing people is unethical. Designate people for other tasks.

Bad resources are the responsibility of the person who uses it. Taking shortcuts is unethical.

Concentration of resources is unethical.

My reflection on AI is from the perspective of resource management. Ethics should be concerned with waste.
Perhaps the winning formula of the Obama years was the absence of rampant social media use and the spread of propaganda / misinformation at the time. Not saying those things did not exist - but they did not have the ability to spread like wildfire compared to today.
For me it's the other way around: I tolerate SMS but I draw the line at Whatsapp.
If they did it the "normal" way, there would be so much time wasted that it would be useless.

Elon already proved that taking a chainsaw to a large org has practically no effect on the outcome. He fired over 80% of Twitter and even I thought it would go down for days at a time at some point, but I was wrong. He's taking this experience and acting at scale on the Federal government.

I don't know if he's right or he's wrong, but I'm willing to try it out and live with the consequences.

>Elon has the opportunity to make a real impact, but he’s demonstrated that he just cares about optics and will not put in the effort required.

That was clear at least 7 years ago. Never too late to realize this but I sure wish more people researched back in 2024.
Why FreeBSD is the right choice for embedded devices
Also, it's a tricky environment of disinformation generally, and in particular for anything valuable like Signal. If Signal is secure, attackers on privacy would want people to believe Signal is compromised and to use something else. If it's not, then they would want people to believe Signal is secure.

I think the solution is to completely ignore any potential disinfo source, especially random people on social media (including HN). It's hard to do when that's where the social center is - you have to exclude yourself. Restrict yourself to legitimate, trusted voices.
Fair point about architecture: It's not fundamentally about automation, it's about efficiency (which automation typically supports). If you want to do more with the same amount of people (or the same with less people), quite often, something's gonna give.

Getting stuff as good as it used to be can be pretty tricky. I'd have to do a 30 minute drive to buy bread that's actually baked by a trained baker. Most of the bread bakeries carry is made industrially.

The thing is: If things get cheaper, the consumers usually don't benefit primarily from that.

For one, the company that reduces production costs will do what they can to keep the difference. If competition drives prices down and consumers actually end up needing less money, watch the salaries shrink (effectively), because to a degree they are tied to the cost of living.

I'm not sure I'm getting this right, but I think it's worth considering.
A friend of mine works for a Management Consultancy firm and they have full flex tickets if they miss the 8pm flight home they can take the next one or fly back the next morning. All without additional fees.
So I believe business travel is the biggest factor when it comes to missed flights.

Side note: His employer is the biggest client of a major European airline.
Have not played around with it, but, curious, how does debugging on production work for a specific request/session? Can I filter by some sort if request trace id or something?
That's not what the attack does tho - they have access to your private key so they can complete the linking protocol without your phone and add as many devices as they want (up to the allowed limit). If you add a bad device, you are screwed from that moment on, assuming you don't sync your chat history.

You can always see how many devices a user has: they have a unique integer id so if I wanna send you a message, I generate a new encrypted version for each device. If the UI does not show your devices properly than that is an oversight for sure, but I don't think it's the case anymore.

Either way, you'd have to trust that the Signal server is honest and tells you about all your devices. To avoid that, you need proofs that every Signal user has the save view on your account (keys), which is why key transparency is such an important feature.

That nag-screen is still there, it pops up roughly every three months for me (though not on my primary phone, Whatsapp won't get anywhere near that one).
I have a hard time imagining these APT attacks are manual at the keyboard typing. That seems like an invention for entertainment whereas I'd expect reality to be "run script & establish an ongoing backdoor" or "run script & perform attack". You might need on-call to flag if anything has gone wrong, but I'd have a hard time imagining the entire team is involved for that so the cost of paying extra for an on-call is quite trivial vs the overall cost of the team. In industry that's not even compensated since salaried employees don't get overtime although I imagine that for government work the unions have negotiated this better.

EDIT: Huh, I guess sometimes it is like the movies: > One of the frameworks used by TAO that was forensically uncovered during the incident named “NOPEN” requires human operation. As such, a lot of the attack required hands-on-keyboard and data analysis of the incident timeline showed 98% of all the attacks occurred during 9am – 16pm EST (US working hours).
Eh agree in part, disagree in part. In 2016 a bunch of people who would otherwise not be interested in politics were interested in two politicians - Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. The Democratic party leadership made a concerted effort to drown Sanders' economic populism before it could succeed. That sent a message that it had no place in the party, killing their ability to grow the base, and giving MAGA (via the Bannon faction) control of economic populist messaging. Economic populists left the Democratic party, leaving them to rely on elites and cultural leftists to carry the party messaging, which resulted in what you described. And most of what you described only exists in a Fox News fever dream, but the Democrats opened the door right up for it to happen.
While each is concerning independently, I see the feedback cycle of 2,3,5 as being the biggest concern. 2: As systems get more powerful, they'll take training data off everything available. On the computer? They'll be capturing screenshots. Walking down the street? They'll be capturing video, GPS, etc. 3: It won't take them long to figure out what you do, and do it for cheaper. Everything you think you're good at will be useless. 5: We might try to pass regulations to prevent that from happening, but those who control these AI systems will have too much power, and their only incentive will be to use it to create a surveillance state, feeding back into 2,3.

Less concerned about 1 (long-term, I think a clean power source will be found) and 4 (they'll get better, unless the feedback cycle above creates a motive for intentional disinformation. And hopefully we'll get better at knowing when to trust them in either case).
This sounds like it could be centralised, a bit like the clouds in the IT world. A low failure rate of 1-3% is comparable to servers in a rack, but if you have thousands of them, then this is just a statistic and not a servicing issue. Several hyperscalers simply leave failed nodes where they are, it’s not worth the bother to service them!

Maybe the next startup idea is biochemistry as a service, centralised to a large lab facility with hundreds of each device, maintained by a dedicated team of on-site professionals.
This is about flipping NJ. People there are pissed and this will only add to R gains there.
In the simplest sense of the word, none of that is needed. Athens had such a democracy, where a majority of people made a decision so. You are putting more stipulations on the word than are strictly necessary, hence why I said the democracy examples you gave would not be great places to live in.
