Human rights activists advise young men to live somewhere else than their official address and to avoid public transportation, because raids at metro stations are commonplace, as the local news report:

After the beginning of the autumn call, the police regularly conduct raids in which deviators are identified from military service. Security forces come to the hostels for migrants and warehouses in Moscow and the region, as well as check passengers in the subway. Over the past day, the police conducted raids near the metro station “Electrozavodsk”, and also presented 26 subpoenas to the army in the Krasnogorsk hostel.

People using all that free time from fully automated luxury communism to do nothing, I guess.
FYI my ISP (Aussie Broadband) will put you on a non-CGNAT subnet if you call and ask.

Tailscale is a better idea.
Skynet in the Terminator series never struck me as being paticularly high IQ.

It's an electronic mind, so necessarily dependent on electricity, and the opening move was an atomic war that would've damaged power generation and distribution. T3 version was especially foolish, as it was a distributed virus operating on internet connected devices and had no protected core, so it was completely dependent on the civilian power grid.

And I've just now realised that T2, they wasted shapeshifting robots on personal assassination rather than replacing world leaders with impersonators who were pro-AI-rights so there was never a reason to fight in the first place, a-la Westworld's final season, or The World's End, or DS9, …
This is a good thing. Turn all actionable hiring signals to noise and make it a pure lottery.
The way I come to look on such offers (monthly unlimited subscriptions) is not the net price itself, and not future supposed returns to it (who knows what they be, and they for sure will depend on many other things), but how many hours a week I am willing to spend on that service.

If you can and willing dedicate on average 2 hours a day (a big commitment but I think I was able to hold it for several month with them) the cost of mastering, say, Linear Algebra will be ~4 less then if you subscribe and will be spending ~30 minutes a day.
Why is Russia winning and taking territory from Ukraine a good thing for anyone but Russia?

Also, we knew Trump would do this because Trump is an ally of Putin, as (it seems) are you.
This was discussed before and interesting but apparently the name of that instruction is misleading. Someone had chimed in and talked about how having Javascript in its name is entirely unnecessary as that exact same floating point representation is commonly used outside Javascript as well.

If you disassemble some armv8 binaries that aren't dealing with Javascript, you do see still see FJCVTZS.
I'm not sure, but M5 will beat them hands down. We should wait for it, or maybe M6, or...
I can buy a Polestar or a VW or a Chevy instead of a Tesla, if I don't like the way Elon Musk runs his company. I have no such option if I don't like the way he runs the government.

The problem isn't the wealth. The problem is the power.
So, AWS allows you to click around in the console to create and schedule lambda functions, relatively quickly; is this blog post comparing apples and oranges?

If I didn't want any of the maturity of using IAAC, I wouldn't have to do the "cloudformation loop" you describe. Similarly couldn't I make railway take longer if I wanted to add IAAC to it's processes as well?
> Apple does not make server CPUs, they make consumer low W CPUs, it's very different.

This is silly. Given the performance per watt, the M series would be great in a data center. As you all know, electricity for running the servers and cooling for the servers are the two biggest ongoing costs for a data center; the M series requires less power and runs more efficiently than the average Intel or AMD-based server.

> FYI Apple runs Linux in their DC, so no Apple hardware in their own servers.

That's certainly no longer the case. Apple announced their Private Cloud Compute [1] initiative—Apple designed servers running Apple Silicon to support Apple Intelligence functions that can't run on-device.

BTW, Apple just announced a $500 billion investment [2] in US-based manufacturing, including a 250,000 square foot facility to make servers. Yes, these will obviously be for their Private Cloud Compute servers… but it doesn't have to be only for that purpose.

From the press release:

As part of its new U.S. investments, Apple will work with manufacturing partners to begin production of servers in Houston later this year. A 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility, slated to open in 2026, will create thousands of jobs.

Previously manufactured outside the U.S., the servers that will soon be assembled in Houston play a key role in powering Apple Intelligence, and are the foundation of Private Cloud Compute, which combines powerful AI processing with the most advanced security architecture ever deployed at scale for AI cloud computing. The servers bring together years of R&D by Apple engineers, and deliver the industry-leading security and performance of Apple silicon to the data center.

Teams at Apple designed the servers to be incredibly energy efficient, reducing the energy demands of Apple data centers — which already run on 100 percent renewable energy. As Apple brings Apple Intelligence to customers across the U.S., it also plans to continue expanding data center capacity in North Carolina, Iowa, Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada.

> when do we put up GPS satellites around Mars? It makes sense

Once we have tens of Starships of annual transport between Earth and Mars such that putting about a dozen satellites in Mars orbits every decade or so [1] is cost effective.

Using Elon math that’s the 2030s. Ignoring his mortality-driven forecasts, probably the 2050s.

They competition would be balloons, which can be made from indigenous polyethylene [2], floated above a settlement with a loud radio. You’d have range and direction home, which should be good enough for decades, potentially into the 2100s when, on a very optimistic schedule, inter-settlement transfer begins to become common.

> IMO, Matt does a pretty bad job of illustrating that point. It seems like he is construing this ruling as a an example of the computer superseding the contract.

Thank you. That is exactly the point I was trying to make. It wasn't the computer. It was execution of the contract and which side of the contract performed poorly in that execution. It's not as reductive as that's what the computer said.
Go on eBay and buy the following Open University book sets. They go for around £30-50 a pop: MU123 (basics), MST124 (more complex). 6 months worth of study in each book set. If you like it do MST125 (even more complex) and M140 (stats) after. That's the first year of a mathematics degree literally from the ground up through GCSE and A-level stuff. If you really like it, get a student loan and do the associated accredited degree.

£30 for 6 months is pretty damn cheap and you get to keep it forever!

Show HN: Clau-Perator – Computer Use Demo with Claude 3.7
I built Clauperator (No affiliation with Anthropic/OpenAI) as a demo to explore how Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 model can handle browser based tasks. For example, data entry, web research, or other workflows that typically require manual toil. It’s free to try, still definitely a demo, and I’d love feedback from the HN community.

It can persist cookies from logins (and we don't store passwords!), which is really interesting to try out how Claude works with your current business tools like HubSpot, Google Sheets, etc. but be cautious with entering real credentials (monitor it and make sure you don't send it down websites where it can get prompt injected!)

Behind the scenes, this uses K8s as orchestration w/Websockets for realtime messaging, and [Browserbase](https://www.browserbase.com/) for hosting a Chromium instance.

If you’re curious, or have ideas for improvement, I’d be grateful to hear your thoughts.

Depending on interest, I'm open to open-sourcing this or consulting with folks that need more domain/business-specific browser-based agents. There's a lot of infrastructure behind the scenes that goes in to making something like this work! I might do a write-up on that next week.
Oops, I meant disabling MV2 extensions. Unfortunately my comment is not editable anymore.
Tailscale is using a user space implementation of WG on my Windows machine for obvious reasons - I am imagining that to be part of the bottleneck.
Coups in Haiti, supporting gangsters and strongmen, overthrowing democratically elected presidents multiple times - supporting Democracy!

Pushing fake candidates in Venezuela - supporting Democracy!

Ousting left-leaning governments in Australia - supporting Democracy!

Overthrowing the democratically elected government of Iran, returning it to authoritarian monarchy - supporting Democracy!

Overthrowing the democratically elected government of Chile, installing a dictatorship - supporting Democracy!

Supporting the overthrow of democracy and establishment of a military dictatorship in Brazil - supporting Democracy!

And so on and so forth, with plenty of logistical and moral support for mass killings, disappearances, assassinations, and political imprisonment mixed in to boot.

We have never promoted democracy, we've only ever promoted the interests of American corporations and opposed socialism.
In Germany you could get about 2500-2700 euros net per month with a 100% position, which usually requires you to take up teaching. It's not guaranteed so be sure to double check.

It's enough to live a relatively comfortable life, but as mentioned by the sibling comment you could get much more in the private sector.
And vice-versa, tbh - when swarms of ants start moving north, messing with AC units, and in general invading us, are they in any way aware of it? Of us? Probably not.
Right: you have to take responsibility for implementing (and testing and short-term maintaining) two branches.
After 21 years of hosting my own email server, starting with roll-your-own (anyone else remember sendmail.cf?) and moving to boxed solutions such as mox or mailcow, I gave up. Maintaining IP reputation and keeping up with the neverending set of arbitrary rules (spf, dkim, etc) I found my time was worth something too. Doing an honest ROI calculation, I figured i was spending 2 hours on average each month keeping the plumbing going. For me, that was well-worth the ~15/month that proton charges. I bet there are other good ones out there too!

To be honest though, throughout those decades, I learned a vast amount about how email flows. That knowledge is irreplaceable.

My recommendation is to try your own until you really, REALLY understand it. Then move to a paid solution.
I never said Koreans in general have a slave mentality.

I was saying North Korea is akin to a slave society. In terms of the organization. The other Communist regimes were like this too.
I'm pretty sure that the payout % for casinos is determined by regulations in most, if not all cases, and not by market dynamics.
Europe's Automakers Shift Gears Towards Affordable EVs
So maybe there are 13 other people in the same situation, except that they accepted the consolation prize? This may not be over... (and I would guess the decision here may well be appealed, anyway.)

Can we repurpose the ASML machine as fusion drive? Asking for a friend.

Especially when lithography in near future will move from EUV to X-ray, the difference between NIF and ASML would become even smaller (or may be ASML would even use Sandia Z alike).
Brother refutes "false claims" that it bricked printers using third-party ink
This is why I led with this part, unrelated to my own perception:

> Have never heard anyone in my life that isn’t an engineer comment on Pro Motion. Not even in an accidental sort of “hmmm why does my phone just feel faster” kind of way.

I would also argue the crowd that insists everyone needs Pro Motion is doing exactly what you accuse me of -- assuming their needs and perception must also be everyone else's. When clearly the market has said otherwise, given Apple's success for many, many years with 60Hz screens.
the reason Nvidia only talk about two machines over the network is I think they only have one network port, so you need to add costs for a switch.
One of the leakers who got this Mac Studio right claims Apple is reserving the M4 ultra for the Mac Pro to differentiate the products a bit more.
Yes, I believe in theory a correctly written program could scale across sockets, depending on the problem at hand.

But where is your data? For llama.cpp? For whatever dual socket CPU system you want. That’s all I am claiming.
This is the issue. If you encrypt your own, then the software will not be able to use it as it's not a file it expects. So all of the software that you want to use your encrypted files will need to have this type of module.

At that point, I feel like we've opened pandora's box. If every single app had to be able to decrypt/encrypt with your personal key, we just know someone will roll their own and fuck it up for everyone else.
I think the point is we don’t want Reddit to become hyper-partisan like truth or bluesky.
we’ve heard that claim for the past three years, but every effort by them points to the opposite. don’t get me wrong, I would love for Apple Intelligence to be smart enough on my iPhone and on my Mac, but honestly, the current version is a complete disappointment.
I think it's not meant as a literal tax. The idea is that "poor" (I've always understood it as a tax on the poor) people don't understand the math enough to know how minuscule the chances are of winning. Because they don't know, they think buying lottery tickets is a financially good idea and that's why they do it.
Is there a reason one couldn't use linux?
This is true of macro life forms, but rinderpest is a bad example. It's one of only two diseases we have ever been able to eliminate. Both of them were viruses-we've never stopped a bacterial disease, and with the increasing failure of antibiotics, that's only going to get worse.
Other replies explained the why, though cgnat wouldn’t be a problem if you also had ipv6.

Luckily for me I have a regular ip4 address but if that ever changed I’d be out of luck unless my isp (quantum fibre) implemented a proper ipv6 solution.
The PC doesn't have to run Windows either. Strictly speaking, professional applications see MacOS support as an Apple-sanctioned detriment.

> If you've ever used git, svn, or an IDE side by side

I still reach for Windows, even though it's a dogshit OS. I would rather use WSL to write and deploy a single app, as opposed to doing my work in a Linux VM or (god forbid) writing and debugging multiple versions just to support my development runtime. If I'm going to use an ad-encumbered commercial service-slop OS, I might as well pick the one that doesn't actively block my work.
Why would the war stop for good? Russia gets everything it wanted, with no repercussions. Expect another attack in 5 years. The view you're presenting is very myopic.
I have nothing but performance issues with tailscale. On both my iPhone and my iPad it _destroys_ my battery. It uses some 40+ hours of background time in just a few days. On my PC whenever I come back home and tailscale was running, everything is out of memory and not running correctly.

That's my experience. I wish it was better.
Sure they could make their own new standard slot or whatever. Tossing out a perfectly good motherboard and cpu to replace some flash is god damned ridiculous.
The original title is:

> Trump Brings Back Free Speech By [Checks Notes] Threatening To Imprison Protestors And Expose Journalist Sources
the term they meant is texas lottery "riskless arbitrage".

Buying a whole pizza, then standing in front of the pizza shop shelling the slices for a net profit is arbitrage. but it's risky because you might not be able to sell enough of them (before they get cold, say) to earn back your investment.

when you talk about an arbitrage that is guaranteed profit, that is a riskless arbitrage.
Or they are saving the M4 Ultra name for later on ...
So you mean we should be happy with peace on russian terms and rewarding them for invading their neighbour? Russia is very much weakened and probably would like this though.
>Strategic Russian Ruble Reserve

Pardon my ignorance here, but don’t the central banks of most nations hold foreign currencies in a strategic reserve? I feel like we probably already have Ruble reserve.
You are suggesting people be able to insert an encryption module into other services?

Or that everyone has to constantly manage a non-default set of tools, and deal with all the interoperability issues of all the mish-mashes of choices others make?

Or, ...?

Personally, I cannot see a safe online world that doesn't have hard privacy.

Why not give people easy ways to report "very bad behavior" online, to authorities that build up a reputation of responding responsibly. Including bounties for the most egregious stuff.

Then every recipient of anything rotten becomes a honeypot for the criminals.

Breaking everyone's privacy is going to attract every nefarious and security conscious actor in the world to the buffet. Every state actor, "good" or "bad" is going to want to have access to everything that can theoretically be accessed. Worst possible kind of honeypot.
I can create as many liveoneggs-coinz as I want(z). Would you invest in some?
Then you are slowly building a database engine.

When do you split the files? How do you track which data resides in which files? Does one file represent one kind of data (table)? Does it reflect data within a given time range? Do you sometimes need to retrieve data that crosses file boundaries?

You quickly lose the simplicity inherent in saving to just a single file.

Which is where Sqlite shines. It's a single file. But with a full, user defined schema. And can update it and query it incrementally, without having to read and write the entire thing frequently. It handles all of that complexity for you.
I tried math academy about a year ago since I wanted to finally get a strong grasp on linear algebra.

But I gave up during the diagnostic test. It was very, very long, and didn't seem to be adjusting in difficulty, and asked similar questions. I'm normally a fast test-taker, but after about a third, I figured it would take me an hour and a half or two hours more.

I hope they've updated it by now.
What other VPNs do mesh networking? I only know of zerotier (proprietary) and nebula (FOSS except that the Android app is proprietary)
I think for simple cases, it's great. If you have remote boxes somewhere that needs administration, it's awesome.

If you have more complex cases, the IPTables/Netfilter rules make it vastly more difficult to manage, particularly if you're running docker-compose (or anything using IPTables rules) on the same box and trying to troubleshoot the packets coming out of docker and going into tailscale.

And then trying to figure out what tailscale is doing with your packets is not great as well. They've also broken features I relied upon with a minor release.

Their nat traversal doesn't always work, as sometimes I get connected to a DERP server, so that limits the network speeds across the internet.

I blame CG-NAT quite a bit -- it's really why we can't have nice things these days -- and I get tailscale is trying to fix a bunch of that. But the reality is, I just want an interface just like eth0 or wl0, not an IT infrastructure to move my packets across.
AI generated code is effectively plagiarized; it ground beef produced from stolen cattle.

An investor would be foolish to dump a lot of money into a startup after doing due diligence and discovering that they cannot legally put their copyright header on any of their shit, which means it's not actually an IP asset that they properly own.
>My running joke about AI is how can we create artificial intelligence, when we lack so much of it.

Maybe we've fallen into some sort evolutionary trap.

The LLMs are just good enough with language to convince they're thinking can many tasks as well as people when often they aren't.

People are talking about us having AGI soon when really we only have something that works with text, it doesn't see the world.
Most of Europe doesn't fit in with your idea of "developed countries" though. Printing currency in order to have more money is as old as currency itself, what does that have to do with MMT? Give me a citation or quote where someone is advocating just printing more money as the MMT solution to anything.
I remember Hamachi did the same as Tailscale in the 90s, we used it to play virtual LAN DOOM. Greed killed it.
Yep, it's not a notch cut into your available space. It's "wings" of extra pixels taking up what would otherwise be unused space.

A Creality Ender 3 Pro, a common budget 3D printer, has an accuracy of 0.1mm. That's an equivalent of about 254 DPI.

Of course, that's just the positioning. If you're 2D printing on a 3D printer by mounting a pen to the end, you're also limited by the thickness of the pen tip.

In any case, you could certainly draw text, but you'd only want to use a font that relies on thin lines, nothing thick. Filled in spaces would be difficult, and of course, photos are just completely out of the question.

As mentioned in a sibling comment, really you'd have just reinvented plotters which have existed for decades.
