Only Canonical had a good focus on usability for the average Joe, and even then there were a lot of loose ends, especially due to the way Linux works

(see how things like udev work, or wpa_supplicant, or D-Bus work. There's loose coupling, frail interfaces, version mismatches galore and then if you get out of step stuff breaks)

Reading the comments HN in general, you wouldn't think anything else was under attack.
Are you aware of GNU Taler?
The code example is absolutely the way to do simd. A simd type is not a geometric vector, it’s a magic float that happens to do 4 float operations at a time.

If your vector is generic (using cpp syntax here): vec<3 float> then you can just put in vec<3, float4> and then solve 4 vector math problems at a time.

It helps tremendously if your interfaces already take N inputs at a time, so then instead of iterating one at a time you do 4 at a time.

> Google, and so many others, failed to do the logical check: If this was off by default, would users enable it? If not, then it doesn't need to be a feature.

You fundamentally misunderstand the forces at play if you think this is a failure on their part. They are incentivized financially to be user hostile. There is no magical moral compass embedded within the market that rewards those who make product decisions based on what people want, or what's good for them. They're an ads and tracking company. Approximately nobody would opt-in to their dragnet. Their whole operation is using free services as bait to track and manipulate as many aspects of human life as possible. There is no meeting where someone internally might say "hey, what do you think the user wants, what's best for them?" It's "we want the users to feel/do X, how do we get them there?"
In terms of every day transactions, Bitcoin is just the base layer. Like TCP/IP is the base layer for using Hacker News. Nobody is crafting TCP packets manually when using a website. For every day transactions, protocols higher up in the stack will be used, like the Lightning Network.

The author makes it sound like you need to be tech-savvy to use the Lightning Network.

That is not true.

Using the Lightning Network is just like using any other software. Lightning is just a protocol. The user is not exposed to it. Just like a user is not exposed to SSL, HTTP and TCP when using a website.
Thanks for the post, I’m interested in them too

Clearly we need to produce them somehow in national countries, following by only allowing a national BSD/Linux distribution, and programming languages that are under international standards or FOSS licenses stewardship, unable to be blocked by export trade wars.

Finding IP does not mean finding the domain. When doing HTTP request to IP you specify the domain you want to connect to. For example you can configure your /etc/hosts to have xxxnakedhamsters.google.com pointing to 8.8.8.8 and make the http request, which will cause Google getting the domain request (i.e. header Host: xxxnakedhamsters.google.com) and it will refuse it or try to redirect to http. Of course it's only related to HTTP because HTTPS will require certificate. That's why they're speaking about certificates.
It did better than any other solution out there. However, I can only validate by the logic of the text. It's a recipe book.

I'm interested that you put hare coursing in a similar category to badger baiting. I have a semi religious attachment to hares, as do many country people, so I wouldn't do it. However, coursing hares or rabbits doesn't appear more cruel than any other way of killing them to me. I think it is odd to turn it into a competition, but that shouldn't stop a solitary hunter.

Not under the theory the Department of Labor was using for years related to gender/race/age discrimination, which was with a large enough sample, a divergence from the expected numbers based on population distributions is de-facto evidence of discrimination.

That is the other side of the double edged sword used to push DEI.

If statistically, white dudes are getting laid off more than any other group, isn’t it fair to call that racial/sex discrimination regardless of other criteria?

Just like a lack of say women (or women’s pay being different) was being used as evidence of discrimination regardless of criteria?

The income of a business comes, ultimately, from a consumer. So this essentially amounts to a tax on consumption (which I think is fine, to be clear).
It's just Italian style for this kind of press releases, especially if it involves publicly funded studies.

Exactly.

It is a bit like doing an emergency break with a train that is about to roll into a pit filled with lava. You need to break way ahead to avoid the lava pit.

80/20 breaking still lands you in the lava pit. And the later you decide to break, the harder that breaking will have to be. Until at some point breaking alone is no longer enough. That is where we are.

That was what stood out to me, too. 1/8 of the entire navy destroyed by lightning in a five year period.
The difference is that if you want sovereignty of your own bitcoin on the lightning network you need to run the lightning daemon yourself, open a channel, and maintain it and deal with closures of the payment channel.

Payment channels are useful for some things, but you have to admit they are pretty much abandoning the typical cryptocurrency use case of just sending money to an address, even if the recipient is offline.

If we use this HTTP/email protocol comparison, an ordinary SPV wallet is like a web browser and a lightning network node is like a web server. Actually an email client/mail server is a better example.
Yes of course. After all what could be more undemocratic than, let me check, "voting to change your countries foreign policy"

What the hell is going on this week?!?!? (asking positively, with a smile on my face)

I have seen at least 3 interesting/mildly promising breakthroughs on ML just these past two days! I mean, a Google research team just discovered that you can combine NNs with CLAs using digital logic gates as a medium, so you could potentially reduce many kinds of non-linear problems to a simple, efficient digital circuit! And it was on the HN front page, TODAY![1]

I keep seeing more mind-bending stuff related to neural nets and logic/intelligence in general, my mind has been running wild with speculation about the future and just how close we could (or could not) be to truly understanding how intelligence works from first principles.

So what? Hypocrisy is part of the human condition. We can only rid ourselves of it by actually expressing and exploring our true beliefs and reflecting on them in the context of our actions. Carefully curating a public image to match what the blob expects doesn't assist in that at all.

The problem with digicash-type of solutions based on blind signatures like GNU Taler, is that you need a centralized service to operate them. Digicash failed because banks wouldn't adopt it, and you have to recognize that centralized infrastructure profits off of the payment data and is susceptible to regulation and lock-in.

I am optimistic about GNU Taler (clearly it has superior privacy and throughput versus cryptocurrencies), but you have to be aware of the possibility of re-creating the existing financial system.
So apparently this is one person's project, but the branding makes it seem like it's some kind of official European Union initiative.

Also, I don't see what problem a national Linux distribution would solve. It would either duplicate the effort of a "normal" Linux distribution, or more likely, it would be just a rebrand of an existing distro.
It could be very well worth the price, but it still needs to justify the price increase over an already locally running solution that is nearly free in operation.

I will still check it out, but given the performance I already have for my specific use case with my current system, my upfront expectation is that it probably will not make it to production.

I'm sure there are other applications for wich this could be a true enabler.

I am also biased to using as little SaaS as possible. I prefer services on-prem and under my control where possible.

I do use GPT-4o for now as, again, for my use case, it significantly outperformed other local solutions I tried.
Several operating systems successfully provide a Linux emulation mode. gvisor has very different constraints and requirements. It's also still heavily used and under active development so I'm not sure how you determined it is abandoned.
Well, literally doesn't mean literally anymore--literally.
The Bitcoin network, bitcoin's base layer has to be at most pseudo-anonymous in order to prove the total amount of bitcoin. This is fine, because the Bitcoin network will not be used for everyday transactions. They will be performed on a higher-level network such as Lightning, Paypal etc. which are optimised for smaller, frequent transactions, rather than large transactions like the base layer.

Monero has no proof of supply, and so I would have little confidence in storing my value in it.

There can't be financial privacy as long as there is a need to pay taxes - and therefore to be able to tell if you're paying them (and in the correct amount).

There can't be a financial system if there are no taxes, because financial system is maintained by some form of government, which needs money to operate, and both are function of scaling up human societies.

Therefore, financial system and financial privacy are mutually exclusive in practice.

If you've got one cert with a subject alt name for each host, they'd see them all. If you use SNI and they have different certificates, the domains might still be in Certificate Transparency logs. If a wildcard cert is used, that could help to conceal the exact subdomain.
Does this prevent Google Analytics from working, or does it tell Google that you don't want Google Analytics. There's a difference.

Forgive my absolute ignorance, I should probably run this through a chat bot before posting ... So I'm updating my post with answers now!

Q: Do LLMs specialise in "document level" recognition based on headings, paragraphs, columns tables etc? Ie: ignore words and characters for now and attempt to recognise a known document format.

A: Not most LLMs, but those with multimodal / vision capability could (eg DeepSeek Vision. ChatGPT 4). There are specialized models for this work like Tesseract, LayoutLM.

Q: How did OCR work "back in the day" before we had these LLMs? Are any of these methods useful now?

A: They used pattern recognition and feature extraction, rules and templates. Newer ML based OCR used SVM to isolate individual characters and HMM to predict the next character or word. Today's multimodal models process images and words, can handle context better than the older methods, and can recognise whole words or phrases instead of having to read each character perfectly. This is why they can produce better results but with hallucinations.

Q: Can LLMs rate their own confidence in each section, maybe outputting text with annotations that say "only 10% certain of this word", and pass the surrounding block through more filters, different LLMs, different methods to try to improve that confidence?

A: Short answer, "no". But you can try to estimate with post processing.

Or am I super naive, and all of those methods are already used by the big commercial OCR services like Textract etc?
Yes when you corner an entire market, regardless how you got there, it's still called a monopoly.

Just want to add that there is no one thing that is Greek Paganism or Christianity. Any belief system of sufficient age is incredibly diverse and I'd be wary of people online making big generalizing statements about them.

There's actually an epic called the Dionysiaca, about Dionysius, that's longer than the Iliad and Odyssey combined. I think there's still only one English translation of it but it's pretty interesting. It has a story of Dionysius being reborn that might be related to this.

I actually despise using forums, so this is a good thing for me. Chat is a lot more casual, like how you might walk up to a colleague in the office for some advice.

My experience with many forums is that most moderators spend too much time making the forum perfect and less time helping me with my problems. My experience with chat is that I post a question and then someone has an answer pretty quickly

What comes to mind is TempleOS, I'm confident there's a lot of really interesting code decisions and algorithms in there.

Of course the other factor is your own comprehension powers; I can't comprehend math or complex algorithms, so I don't actually know if there are any that I could apply to my usual software development problems.

> People in advanced economies stand to inherit around $6trn this year—about 10% of gdp, up from around 5% on average in a selection of rich countries during the middle of the 20th century. As a share of output, annual inheritance flows have doubled in France since the 1960s, and nearly trebled in Germany since the 1970s. Whether a young person can afford to buy a house and live in relative comfort is determined by inherited wealth nearly as much as it is by their own success at work.

I wonder how much of this inherited wealth is from rising house prices. My parents' generation (I'm 38) have earned around €500k from rising house prices during their lifetime.
The price of their house has more than quadrupled since when they bought it 35 years ago. That's a lot of money in inheritance right there. Something that children of parents who rent don't get.

The actual story is that she was photographing on her free time and the rest of her days were spent caring for children of some rich family. When she died, the rich family were the only people who could inherit her stuff. What they saw was not only pretty, but they saw an opportunity. They began marketing right away and made her a well known photographer and kept all the money as rights holder.

This is a story of exploitation of someone talented in a system designed to waste her life.

All your models will be broken.
It doesn't seem like the choice has any impact on that. It just protects user privacy if that's what they want to prioritize.

Depending on the issuer logging all certs would never work. You can't rely on the untrusted entity to out themselves for you.

The security comes from the browser querying the log and warning you if the entry is missing. In that sense declining to log a cert is similar to self signing one. The browser will warn and users will need to accept. As long as the vast majority of sites don't do that then we maintain a sort of herd immunity because the warnings are unexpected by the end user.
Can you write down the books you used for your "do the reading"? Thank you ! (ideally also what year you read them and if you would read them again now or would go for something else)
I'm no mathematician or leetcode expert and probably don't understand "shortest possible test sequence", but it sounds like this is just bruteforcing 0000-9999. You can't guess what would be closer to the correct solution, so at best I'd propose making a list of choices and randomizing the tries in case you get lucky.

It's different if the keypad gives an indication that one number is correct though, then it'll be 40 tries at most.
I've had two issues, with two Elitebooks, one 845g8 (amd) and one 840g8 (intel). These are ~2020 models IIRC, which I had at the end of 2020 for the amd and early 2021 for the intel.

They both shipped with Windows 10, which I didn't use for any length of time, since I daily drive Linux. I updated them both to the latest Windows 11 available at the time, with a fresh install, and installed all the drivers from HP.

With the AMD, fresh out of the box, there was some issue with the backlight. The screen would be very dim, even while set all the way up. I initially thought there was some hardware issue, but booting into the BIOS burned my eyes, so the hardware was fine. I didn't really use it for any length, so don't know how that install fared otherwise. After the reinstall, the backlight worked as expected. But, for around half a year, the webcam wouldn't be detected. It suddenly started working after some update or other. This machine can also not sleep for any length of time under Windows. It will usually reboot by itself after a while, and Windows has no idea why (event log says "unexpected shutdown"). Less often, though, it will just get stuck when attempting to wake up (fans full tilt, screen off). The hardware was otherwise in good working condition, since everything worked under Linux since day 1. Yes, including sleep and audio.

With the Intel, the backlight seemed fine initially. I also didn't spend much time with it as delivered and reinstalled it. First off, Windows didn't detect the touchpad, nor the trackpoint, nor the Wifi. I did have a mouse lying around which worked (fortunately I don't care for BT peripherals), but then would have had to jump through some hoops to convince it to not insist on connecting to some server. Fortunately, it was going to be domain-joined so it left me be. Then the fun started. With the HP usb-c dock, the external screen would usually not be recognized at 4k@60 unless I did a plug-unplug-replug at the right time. Sleep would also be unreliable, sometimes waking up to a blank screen and fans going full tilt, sometimes to a garbled image. The output thing has been fixed after a while by using the drivers from Intel's website, but Windows would helpfully update them every other day to the borked ones. In the end, the drivers supplied by Windows have caught up, but my other random Chinese dock still won't output 4k@60. Sleep also mostly works fine now. Never had any issue on Linux. The Chinese dock works fine on Linux, and also on Windows with the AMD laptop.
You're not arguing in good faith using logic , proof and reason, you're deflecting my questions using optics and biases, so i will end the conversation here.
All solutions are compromises. For example here in France:

Wolves ? You have to get guardian dogs (a requirement to get compensated for attacks), accept that a part of your herd will be killed each year (disrupting the dynamic of the herd I've been told) and getting a small compensation. Guardian dogs cause problems with hikers. Someone I know had her dog killed, and I hate having 3 or 4 of them barking around me until I get far from a herd. They aren't that many incidents but it's always a stressful situation.

No wolves? You rely on hunters to regulate the population of some species (chamois, alpine ibex, etc.)

People against the reintroduction of wolves seem to see proponents as city dwellers with no experience of the real world, and proponents seem to see people against it as retrograde.
