Unfortunately, the doubts apparently didn't win.

I guess there's a sort of Anna Karenina principle of scams: A successful scam takes a long list of things going exactly right for the scammers, and the unsuccessful ones are much less likely to be widely publicized.
Not surprised. If you looked at the sources (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43262650) for Louis’ claims they seem to be poorly sourced. There could be a variety of reasons why aftermarket toners/inks weren’t recognised apart from intentional bricking.
Wasn't this release in Nov 2024 as a "preview" with similarly impressive performance?

I took the bus from the airport into Istanbul, and it had a horribly bright screen in front of every seat, with flashing adverts and constantly moving - after a flight, I was already feeling nauseous. I managed to cover it with a jacket and ignore the ones further away, but it was a very unpleasant experience.
No, it is not time to try to revive the desiccated corpse of socialism once again for the I-do-not-know-how-manyeth-time. Pick up some history books, real ones that is, not Howard Zinn and read where that path takes you. Redistribution does not work when there isn't anyone left to pluck which tends to be the outcome of that pipe dream.

Capitalism, warts and all is still the best way to lift people out of poverty. You may not like the fact that some people have way more than others (and objectively speaking way more than they need) but the people who saw and see their income lift above the poverty line would not like to see it go down again once the next "people's party" gets to power.
That's just not the case. Look at every conflict of the past 50 years. Major powers trade very carefully against a nuclear armed nation. Which by the way largely explained Biden's tepid military support to Ukraine, giving them just enough weapons for them not to collapse but not enough to make any serious dent to Russia. And basically maximising casualties by making the conflict last.
A very common, sad sigjt in rundown areas is some old person, clearly with limited funds, standing at the lotto counter in a convenience store, just rapid fire scanning scratch-offs. And then buying more scratch offs and rapid fire scanning them, etc.

In my experience as a poor sysadmin (as in, bad), you don't /need/ HA for Headscale because the clients are pretty resilient. I've had my instance go down for a little bit and it's fine. Stale and new connections aren't, obviously, but it will work well enough that you won't realize Headscale itself has gone down until a while after it did.
If you are stopped at the border then you don't have such a right. British border force can just demand you give them keys to all your devices and hold them for 7 days, no court order needed.

Ok, claiming it's a fringe theory isn't a strong criticism.

A theory that rejects empiricism and is based on private ownership, an idealized vision of markets, and limited state intervention is refuted by so many wars.

> Is there no way to boycott anyone advertising in our car? AND the car itself of course.

The obvious boycott would be to sell the car and never buy a Jeep again. Until the next car you buy is also updated to include ads and quietly sell tracking data they've collected about your family, so then you sell that car and never buy from that manufacturer again either.

Then before you know it, you end up buying an American-made luxury sedan to take the kids to soccer because you've convinced yourself that buying a premium ad-free car with the optional monthly subscription for the seat warmers is worth the investment and all the "affordable" options are either ad-supported American-built cars or artificially overpriced due to trade wars.

They'll backtrack if they lose enough money.
Oh. That's probably because we don't share the same definition of what is a "coup".

For me, it's clear that a "coup" is not when the democratic will of the people outs a puppet that was put in place by Moscow. While you have the opposite opinion.
I've seen higher end Samsung TVs do this, or probably most Android TVs I'd assume.
I think this would be World Economic War II really with the Tariff Act of 1930 kicking off America's previous Great thing.
Some possible groups of reasons:
1. Until recently RAM amount was something the end user liked to configure, so little market demand.
2. Technically, building such a large system on a chip or collection of chiplets was not possible.
3. RAM speed wasn't a bottleneck for most tasks, it was IO or CPU. LLMs changed this.
> In short, the advent of super-intelligent AI would be either the best or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity. The real risk with AI isn’t malice, but competence. A super-intelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren’t aligned with ours we’re in trouble. You’re probably not an evil ant-hater who steps on ants out of malice, but if you’re in charge of a hydroelectric green-energy project and there’s an anthill in the region to be flooded, too bad for the ants. Let’s not place humanity in the position of those ants.

This reminds me of Drew DeVault's advocacy for the traditional email-driven git workflow. [0][1] (Drew is the creator of SourceHut, an email-oriented git forge.)

I think his (Simon's) objection to git send-email emails could be addressed with better tooling, or better use of them. It's 'just' a matter of exporting the emails into a single mailbox file, right? (I'm not experienced with git's email-driven features.)

It seems to work smoothly for the Linux kernel folks; clearly it doesn't have to be clunky.

> because git format-patch doesn’t mention what commit the patches do apply against, I’m more likely to encounter a conflict in the first place when trying to apply them.

Yes it was a good tech from the user perspective.

If you could make it render fast enough, that is.

And twisted did make use cases possible in python that would have been near impossible otherwise.

If you could debug it, that is.
> the fact that technological advancement is highly correlated with sociological advancement

For values of "sociological advancement" that correlate with technological advancement, naturally.
A slight thawing of relations is a long way away from an alliance. Even then, would Russia take it? They might see more value in their current arrangement with China.

Still, long term maybe you're right. It does make geopolitical sense for the US to be more closely aligned with Russia. In a pivot to Asia it's much more useful to sow-discord in the Sino-Russian relationship, than it is to prop up the EU.
Good thing US integritiy has no value anymore and US word is apparently worthless nowadays - otherwise I guess honoring the Budapest memorandum would make sense:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum

You know, that one thing that certainly prevented a lot of nuclear proliferation so far.
Under GDPR, you must opt-in. So blocking the popup is the same as no consent, if you're in the EU.

I've used it on Android to stream the occasional video or song from my Jellyfin server while using mobile data. Not bad at all, plus they finally seem to have gotten their battery drain issues under control.

Recently, as I have been traveling through the Middle East and East Africa, I have also used Tailscale on my phone to protect myself on public wifis and to work around MitM attempts, see my other comment further up.
It completely blows away everything on the internal storage (but not SD cards), so no going back without reflashing from another device. You might want to have a stock image from the manufacturer handy just in case. I struggled with a "Baseband: <not found>" error for an entire day (preventing calls and sms) until I flashed an image that worked.

Though if you want the real Google ecosystem back, instead of going back to stock, try reflashing LineageOS and add in the MindTheGapps zip. MindTheGapps includes the real Google Play Store and other components, just like most Android phones. The LineageOS flashing directions for your phone should mention when and how to do that. You'll have a phone with Google, but without BS apps that you can't delete (aside from simple phone, sms, contacts, camera, etc apps), and should run faster.

It would happen much quicker if governments mandated IPv6 for all new connections.

And it's Canadian. Cool. We have a policy now that doesn't allow us to bring in new services from US companies.
I don't think it's super likely, though if our president decides to declare war to try reignite American imperialism, then it seems like it could happen.

He's already talked about invading Greenland, what's to stop him from trying to invade somewhere else, somewhere with more firepower to fight back? All it would take is Fox News or OAN to start running stories about how the US is actually entitled to the land of France. It's not like it matters if there's any truth to it.
> I do think this simplicity is exactly what contributes to those weird and non-standard configurations.

This is why I am confident I will always have employment in IT. As I make things simpler for others to use, they in turn will find new and innovative ways of making my eyes bleed from cursed workflows that once again require professional intervention for simplicity, efficiency, and security.
I would be less pissed with this if the UK actually kept the data to the UK.
Vizio, so far, is quite nice in this regard, you power it on, it asks you to accept an agreement, you say no, and it says, welp, I guess I'm a dumb TV now.

I will give you it is not a direct line. But, I wont upload a government ID to a social platform. If everyone had to, it would have a chilling effect across the entire internet. It would be one of the single biggest censorship moves that a government had ever taken.

Now where is this centralized database and who has control? How much does it cost for businesses or people to access it and how is their access limited? Are the identification requests being stored by any party?

There are many ways in which this ideal is not in line with a free society.
For how long? Used TVs don't last forever.

I just bought a new car (well 3 years old) because the transmission was going on the old one and at 240k miles the cost to fix it was more than the car was worth. Even if I had fixed it, the body was already showing signs of rust. (the new one is also a plug in hybrid which I believe over 10 years will save the difference between fixing the old one and this one - but only time will tell)
Now you start dodging.

Typical. Let me quote you:

> They could always build more nuclear plants to fill additional demand.

And then

> If you've already provisioned enough nuclear plants to meet peak energy demand, producing less energy has no marginal cost.

If the magic tooth fairy comes with free nuclear plants... Nuclear cult member fantasy land.

So at what capacity factor will the entire fleet run at when built out to manage both outages and cold spells requiring 30 GW of fossil fuels to handle?

France currently run their fleet of 63 GW at a ~70% capacity factor. Add another 30 GW (lets call it 100% reliable when a cold spell hits) and the capacity factors vastly lower due to extremely low utilization factors of the last 30 GW.

You can spread out the lower of capacity factors across the entire fleet or just let the peakers bear them.

But in the end the results are the same because you still need to finance the your fleet now delivering a measly 45% capacity factor.

Lets translate a 45% capacity factor to Hinkley Point C numbers:

Now you are forcing the consumers to pay $355/MWh or 35.5 cents per kWh for all electricity delivered the whole year.

All you have done is take the ~$1000/MWh cost from 15% of the time and spread it out over the whole year.

Do you see the pure insanity of what you keep proposing now?
If UK is already doing this, then what's them from banning all new iPhones? Some countries do.
People aren't going to stop using cars because of ads, they're just going to put up with almost anything because they have to in order to survive.

> in the delusion of a united Europe, in which Germany is willing to subordinate itself to France

The Haudenosaunee a/k/a Iroquois had a unique confederacy consisting of two dominant and a few lesser powers [1][2]. And the Roman Republic had two consuls, including on campaign. Maybe a nuclear command inspired by both is the answer: any launch requires codes from each of Paris, Berlin and the head of state of the country actually launching.

(Practically, the Germans are sort of irrelevant given they not only have no nuclear weapons, they’re also dismantling their civil nuclear expertise. I’m assuming they grow up and reärm. Otherwise, centralising nuclear power in Paris doesn’t depend on Germany agreement.)

From what I recall the main narrative was "it's neck and neck but we could be a single polling misstep from a blowout in either direction" which is about as safe a stance as you can take (understandable considering the blowback they got previously).
This is already a huge issue - I actually had to pay attention to CarPlay integration because most cars the infotainment system is tied to the car itself (and not just the steering wheel controls), and you need it. Many of the car's settings can't be changed anywhere but on the "radio".
Thanks! Love to hear people are still using it, even though it needs a flag toggle now.
Yeah, but at least buses and trains are accountable to the voter in one way or another... and I can still wear headphones.
Just before reading this, I noticed a lot more ads on YouTube, and more invasive / annoying. Funny that.
Indeed I am, but the point here is that some users are actually typing em-dashes outside word processors or publishing/typesetting tools (e.g., on HN)—so it's not necessarily a sign of a message written by an AI (m-dash pun intended). The poster could as well be a developer with a full-size keyboard.
Hard to really say Elon was ever liberal, though. Rather, he was always opportunistic. And the hilarious saga of his gaming skills really calls into question all of his general decision making.

Which, fair, you can point to his giant bankroll. Hard to square that with his public persona over the years. Easy to say he has declined recently. But, I'm starting to question how long it was always there.
we are in a cultural nadir of car design. vindicating that I bought a jeep with stick, rolldown windows, no bluetooth, no infotainment, no electric locks.

If you have a laptop, do you turn it off or just close the lid?

The mini is probably less power hungry than the macbooks (less components). I have some wifi 5/ac routers that consume more power at idle (nothing connected to them) than apple laptops.
They don't have access to an account with 100k in it because that would generally be pointless for a normal person. A great deal of people have 100k in clear real estate or stocks. Only a moron leaves 100k sitting doing nothing but wait for it to get inflated to oblivion.

This sort of misses the point, and treats all advertisement as equally annoying.

Advertisements inside my car, especially if the begin to use my speakers, is infinitely more annoying than a billboard (which, yes, is also annoying).

Advertisements on trains/etc. are more annoying than billboards, but less annoying than advertisements in something I am supposed to own.

If there's one thing that might save us here, it's that ads within the vehicle, delivered via the entertainment system unexpectedly, are a potential safety hazard.
Apple and Google need to talk. They need to collaborate on something truly native to put an end to these bloated frameworks. My goodness the amount of engineering work being put into terrible mobile experiences is worse than how much Nasa is spending to look for water in space.

Do you mean the soldiers dying by the thousands, their girlfriends partying in nightclubs as it falls apart, the ones profiting from the war, or the ones who fled the country? Regardless of what anyone thinks of my concern for the Ukrainians, they aren't winning and continuing to fight will impoverish the US and lead to perhaps millions of additional deaths.

I care about Ukrainians but not enough to start WW3 over. If you're not suicidal, you'll think the same.
I agree with you wholeheartedly and definitely have my favourite (refillable, only refilled with genuine ink) pen.

My bias with respect to the headline is that it seems, to me, highly improbable that Brother specifically would pull a stunt like this because their laser printers seem to be bulletproof. Plus their genuine toner cartridges aren’t ridiculously overpriced.

HP? Lexmark? I wouldn’t be surprised even a little bit. These two definitely seem like they’re in the razors and blades market. They sell you the printer and then pull all sorts of stunts to get recurring revenue out of you.

Epson? They’ve historically been pretty good about not disrupting inkjet refills and recently have started selling inkjets where you just refill them with a relatively cheap bottle of ink.

Brother? As far as my own experiences go they seem to be in the business of selling you a printer that’s going to last a decade and then hope you come back for another one down the road. My current HL-2270dw was purchased in 2012. I can still get toner for it at Staples. It still works amazingly well. I might replace it soon but only because I’m starting to need to be able to print 11x17 mechanical drawings. Or maybe I get an Epson inkjet with the refillable ink wells and keep the brother for day to day use.
Is that the same? In my vehicles if an ad starts playing I can push a button and be listening to another station or I can listen to a CD or MP3. Does it work that way when ads pop up in these distracted-driver-tainment systems?
How does one reindustrialize, then?

It’s crazy to me that after studying the ozone hole for 75 years, this is the first and only paper that confirms the hole healing was primarily caused by human interventions.

Also, an important caveat is made by the authors: “The forced response in this study considers GHG and ODS only, and does not include known forcings from important volcanoes and major wildfires after 2012”, which are the top non-human factors that ozone hole deniers always point to when trying to debunk stuff like this.
