I did not work hard to find that interpretation. It was literally the first one that came to mind, because I am not a cynic.
Well, <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movable_Type>
Not really. There is still same-origin-policy and CSRF tokens.
To be fair, at least humans get to have collaborators from multiple perspectives and skillsets; a lot of the discussion about AI in research has assumed that a research team is one hive mind, when the best collaborations aren’t.
Reddit is unfortunately a major thing in my life. There's an eternal battle between left and right politics in my small European country's relevant subreddits.

Not very healthy - it's like a never ending feed of "someone is wrong on the Internet".

For the record: "right" here is roughly equivalent with the political position of the US Democratic party.

Unfortunately these subreddits are not very balanced, so when I do take a break, I see that the other side "wins" to a noticeably larger degree. Again, small country.
Meanwhile we have gambling addiction that flies in the face of everything you're saying here.
Seems it's high time to develop affordable autonomous drone defense. Luckily drones are relatively slow (and small...) and should have a distinct audio-visual-electromagnetic (?) signature.

Wonder what the most efficient modality is for destruction. Can you blind or jam them reliably?
As a Linux Firefox user who is Orion-curious I'd be interested in hearing more about how.
Ahh, I see, thank you (and other commenters)

I was a bit surprised by the change in tone in a way I probably wouldn't've been if I'd read chronologically.
Shouldn't do that without enough protection.
I was definitely influenced to write this by Alec's excellent video which I recommend everyone watch.

I'd hoped it would be a way to share my own opinions on it, summarise my own personal concerns, as well as adding my own recommendations - but totally appreciate if you feel it is derivative, and I appreciate the call out. As a big Technology Connections fan I certainly don't intend to steal his work.

It's also intended as something you can link to your friends and family that might be a little more digestible than a 30 minute video.
This is the classic example.

Brief shelter in place orders followed by limitations on* occupancy of commercial spaces is proof that HN will embrace deanonymizing the internet?

I like piracy as a means to punish these user-hostile practices like vendor-lockin and bait & switch.

That's why I started downloading netflix shows again after they doubled the price (I used to be on the 720p plan and now I'd have to pay more than twice to get ad-free netflix). These companies only care about their bottom line and this is where you can hurt them back the most.
You're not wrong, but I would say this is a little bit more than just IP theft, as these charges are technically criminal in nature. Physical theft and fraud, bypassing encryption explicitly for unauthorized copying (regardless of what it was), etc.
FYI, The Gruaniad has since corrected its error in TFA.
Night Watch is really dark. Also, The Monstrous Regiment. But the books I love the most are the ones with an "Alistair MacLean vibe" to them: Thud! (MacLean's Fear is the Key) and The Truth (Discworld version of All the President's Men?).
Sometimes I just want to eat some food without making 50 decisions. I'm not a chef, I don't know what pairs well together. If picking my own toppings, I will end up getting a plain pepperoni pizza. If there is a pre-built combo that looks appealing, it gives me the opportunity to branch out a little more and maybe find something new I like.

I'm happy places exist that let people be a little more creative, or allow me the same if I'm in the mood, but it's not something I want all the time. I really like places where I can simple order a #4 without any substitutions and my order is done. Growing up as a picky eater, I caught a lot of flack as a kid for substitutions; my orders never felt easy like other people. I like when my order can be easy.
I've found 3.7-thinking to be much better for SwiftUI than 3.5. No random deletions, no hallucinations.

It does seem to be pretty keen on going a step further than prompted though but the code works well so I can't really complain about that.

There's no portable bedside MR available though.

Even if you have an MR machine with a very low strength primary fields you'll still need to consider safety issues related to the gradients and coils.
New Hybrid Vector Database Idea / Lakehouse Combination
I want to know what y'all think, here is the tldr:

FireLake is a hybrid search system that combines the strengths of data lakehouse architectures with vector databases to support
both structured (SQL-style) and unstructured (semantic) queries. It employs a medallion data pipeline, progressing from raw data inges-
tion (Bronze) to refined data (Silver) via automated entity extraction,and finally to enriched analytics tables (Gold). The system’s query
engine unifies SQL filtering with vector similarity search, allowing users to query numerical data and text content in a single inter-
face. full paper: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iPfBie6V8wN0YPMmjR2g_w57zm_...
I somewhat differ:

The feed's >contents< are the message. And >the feed< is easily abused by content providers who have a PROFIT (Ferengi!) motive.

BUT I agree that The Feed is tightly intertwined with The Message. It is the enabler for HUGE audience capture. Versus the much smaller old-school audience capture of cult-psychology tactics.
Call himself a neoconservative, and then continue ignoring the law until spectacular damages accrue and his party is forced to denounce him.
We are actually saying different things, and your point highlights an error in mine (i.e., I assumed they show the eTLD from the PSL plus one extra label, but apparently they have their own shadow PSL which omits things like pp.se and therefore occasionally shows nothing but an eTLD?) but either way we agree that showing more would be better.
Thanks. That thought "no PC uses an ESP as its wireless, ESP are used as devices that do their own wireless" was rummaging around in the back of my mind, but failed to really make itself heard.

I'm one of those who think NRF when they hear Bluetooth chip and with Nordics it's actually not that uncommon: when you want to make a PC talk ANT+ (r.i.p.) the dongle you put inside a USB port is usually the same Nrf52 you'd also find in a standalone device, only with some of its GPIO connected to the USB pads.

Were we not already assuming this was the case?
No you've missed the point, which is that "people" includes both women and men.

Men cannot be pregnant, which is obvious from the fact that male sexual development does not produce a female reproductive system.

The term "pregnant people" is not just unnecessarily obfuscating but also linguistically erases the group of people who can actually be pregnant - that is, women.
Yeah, Firefox is quite good. It's fast and gets good battery life. It has the occasional bug, but so does Chromium, with any nontrivial usage. I wish Mozilla would focus on Firefox and on their messaging/what their users want (I don't want another chatbot, personally...). The Mozilla management is the only really bad thing about Firefox, but I'd take them over Google's any day.

Even the privacy preserving ads stuff is like... fine to me. I wish they would do other things, but I'm glad they're trying to make an internet monetization framework that's less awful for privacy. I don't have any inherent beef with ads, besides the surveillance apparatus around them. Whether they'll be able to stick to their core mission with the financial allure of ads lurking around the corner, though, I'm not sure.
Solution to democratic elections:

- Candidates are chosen at random from the public. They can decline or accept.

- Each candidate must pass a rigorous psychological exam.

- Voting consists of people walking into a chamber where the candidates each sit in a chair held up by a rope. The voter pulls a mechanical lever to nick the rope of candidates they dislike. Heavily disliked candidates will have their ropes cut and fall onto the sea.

- If selected, candidates are guaranteed to be provided with food, shelter, and healthcare for life.

This video is overall better in terms of emphasis, and goes into how to use tools available to intentionally curate the media that you choose to consume as a primary method, rather than it being hidden in a list.
Anecdotally, I was incredibly productive for a few weeks after switching to forced WFH in 2020. I didn't want to look lazy/bored around my wife, so I did every accumulated task on my list.

Now I use my biweekly office day to clear my backlogged tasks for the same reason: if you want to look busy, might as well work.
Ah but that was my original point as well. Though the developer functionality is not something really similar to what they need to offer here. It's more similar to what they do in the EU.

You can't expect every user to mess around with xcode to sign their sideloaded apps. Many won't even have a mac.
But a 1990s Kia had proper physical controls for everything.
Just because you're bewildered doesn't mean other people are. I think most people understand the scale of the problem and the need for massive action to address it. And they also understand that mistakes will be made but they will be quickly resolved.

And I think most people are relieved that for the first time in a hundred years (ever?) somebody is actually doing something to address govt fraud, waste and abuse. Something more than lots of talk followed by no action which is what has always happened previously.
And he was doing it for movies that hadn't even been released yet.
While true, most groups of adults with power over children don't have a wealthy, trans-national organization that spent decades shuffling them around, hiding their crimes, and silencing victims.
> This is basically just a roomba with trays on it, right? Are they being unloaded by the customers?

Yes. The customers are really happy wit this. Everyone likes cute kitty robots bringing dishes to their tables where they take everything themselves. The restaurants using these usually are more expensive than average. Here in the EU, I dunno about Japan.
> What's your empirical evidence

What if you gave the same happiness survey to people in Saga period Iceland, which had no government at all?

Or to people in some of the American colonies in the late 1600s and early 1700s, such as Pennsylvania, which had governments, but those governments did virtually nothing?

The fact that all first world countries today have governments with vastly more power is no evidence at all that such a system is the best. All it means is that that's the only kind of system that's being evaluated for first world countries. It's easy to place first if you're the only one in the race.
> I am not a cynic

Cynicism is about people with agency. Saying you're not a cynic about the actions of an organization/institution with no agency/sentience is completely nonsensical.

Edit: I've been rate limited; to the person below:

> So, to be clear, I do not believe all prison guards and staff

Do you believe his confinement was decided by one guard (selflessly)? Do I need to explain to you how organizations with rules/processes/guidelines function?

Edit 2:

> Absent that evidence, your assumption of malice is unfounded, even if in general the prison system is corrupt and/or awful

Besides the clear contradiction here (at least from a Bayesian perspective), I think you are either unaware that (or do not understand why) "innocent until proven guilty" of individuals is explicitly codified in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (not the "Universal Declaration of Corporate Rights").

Edit 3:

> Prisoners convicted of a crime in a court of law no longer have the presumption of innocence for that crime, by definition. Moreover, they lose many other rights, due to the fact that they are prisoners, and not general civilians.

You are accusing him of a new crime. Prisoners are still afforded their constitutional rights.

> I have no idea what point you’re trying to make, but I implore you to read what I’m saying and not what you think I’m saying.

I have already made my point at the beginning of this thread: you are doing an inordinant amount of free intellectual labor justifying the actions of an authoritarian institution.
I disabled my YouTube watch history and installed Unhook. Combined, this essentially hides all recommendations, shorts, etc. I had tried blocking YouTube completely in the past, but it's a genuinely useful tool for learning and work. The new approach still lets me pull information while shielding me from the endless rabbitholes and passive consumption.

I feel so much freer!
From the article:

> Following the meeting, a HUD official wrote and circulated a memo within the agency panning the idea. “Without exaggeration, every imaginable implementation of this at HUD appears dangerous and inefficient,” the memo reads.

I followed with this rationale in a small project and opted for PostgreSQL pub/sub instead Redis. But I went through so much trouble correctly handling PostgreSQL disconnections that I wonder if Redis wouldn't be the better choice.

Unfortunately, no one has the incentives or the resources to do doubly triply thorough fine tooth combing: no reviewer or editor’s getting paid; tenure-track researchers who need the service to the discipline check mark in their tenure portfolios also need to churn out research…
For me peak internet was mid 2000s StumbleUpon. Finding random sites at the click of a button lightly sorted by theme. One major difference was people weren’t competing to get the most views. Of course monetized sites wanted more but today’s feeds create a sort of homogeneity I find less interesting because people are trying to appease an algorithm not viewers.
Grin adds friction. You need extra steps to finalize a transaction, which makes it clunky compared to Monero’s simple send-and-forget model.

Its privacy isn’t default—linkability depends on high network usage. If volume drops, transactions become easier to trace. Monero doesn’t have this issue because every transaction is private by design, no matter what.

Yes, Monero’s blockchain is bigger, but that’s the price of real privacy. Grin stays lightweight by cutting corners on privacy guarantees. If privacy actually matters, Monero is the clear winner.
It's fascinating, and being "The Subject" of the fascination and never truly "Objective" is a particular conundrum! Good luck with the "unfortunately" aspect -- totally possible to stop. (sexual humor warning: https://imgur.com/dont-touch-girls-m0Qk8)

As an inmate in a terrible county jail who chose solitary confinement for mental health reasons - and to avoid the 4 Tray Crips who effectively run general population in Tarrant County Corrections - I’m glad he’s going in. I have several stories of hearing entitled and “tough” men absolutely crumble when forced to sit out punishment in that environment. There’s a recent phrase that goes “fuck around and find out” which totally fits here.

Yes, solitary confinement is akin to forced mental distress in most incarceration systems. No, it’s not randomly doled out.

The fact remains if he wanted to do an interview with Tucker Carlson he could have accomplished it in writing using the mail. He chose not to do so. No sympathy here.
This looks cool. Are languages besides the 3 listed supported?
> SBF blamed his erratic appearance in old interviews on being distracted by tech devices.

Really, the excuses this guy is throwing around remind me of little children.

> Carlson kept acting throughout the interview as though it’s just normal and reasonable for wealthy people who donate to politicians to expect corrupt favors from those same people in their time of need.

That's just being realistic, isn't it?
Deeply deeply deeply ironic comment given how many laws the same executive (the one responsible for the penitentiaries) has broken in the last month and a half.
He used to send out real cheques for $2.56 but apparently they contained codes that could be used to transfer money out of his account in excess of the sum of the cheque. Now he uses the made-up Bank of San Serriffe, which naturally understands hexadecimal.

Public spaces should NOT be unrated.

This is a disgusting worldview. The fact that an 8-year-old can NOT walk NYC unattended is a disgrace. This is what civilized countries actually look like: https://youtu.be/IkVvXVDs5aI That American children cannot reasonably do the same any longer is a FAILURE of the public trust.
What finally helped me break out of those bad habits was reframing who I was trying to convince of an argument. Let's face it, it's highly unlikely you're going to ever convince someone you're directly arguing with online just by the simple fact you're arguing, which often suggests some sort of impasse.

Instead, argue as if you're trying to convince the bored reader who has climbed down through the comments (for some reason), who has found value in this discourse and is trying to get more or better perspectives. That is someone you can convince of your position.

It's been a lot easier to engage in text discourse ever since I had that epiphany, because instead of taking every bait and trying to correct every wrong, I'm only engaging with folks arguing with data, with perspective, with good faith more often than not. That leads to better outcomes, I believe, instead of just contributing to so much noise.
I found an error in a published version of TAOCP, 2nd edition I think, with improvements on Sieve of Eratosthenes. I was so excited, then found it was already listed in the errata.

I later got a check for identifying a minor issue with the early history of superimposed coding. I happen to have copies of the relevant patent case containing examples predating Mooers' randomized superimposed coding.

("Happened to" because I had visited the Mooers archive at the Charles Babbage Institute in Minnesota to research some of the early history of chemical information management. Mooers is one of the "fathers" of information retrieval, and in fact coined the term "information retrieval" at a chemistry conference.)

The reason there are laws around fraud is because a world where everyone is a shark is a world with much higher friction and transaction costs because of the lack of trust.

Better to work towards a world where "they shouldn't have trusted him" doesn't have to get said as much because it's easy to verify that if you can transact with it, it's likely to be legitimate. Why was, as you put it, "an unregulated financial institution outside the US," able to make itself so accessible? How much of it was because of dishonestly. That people "should have" seen through? Fuck that. Let's make more laws that would've stopped them even sooner. And be thankful for the ones that did finally catch him.

We should wan to make it easier for any random person and harder for a scammers. You're advocating for the reverse.

You veer off into appointed judges or elected prosecutors (is there a third option you want here instead?), like nobody's complaining about exactly that when pointing out how Trump-appointed judges give Trump an easy time, but at the end of the day: there's no defense for SBF, and nobody who wants a productive economy instead of Wall Street-and-lawyers-middleman-leech-fest should defend him.
I like that. I'm always super annoyed by Netflix using indirect translations as subtitles. That means that people say something that doesn't correspond to the subtitles. Of course semantically it's about the same but I find it terrible for language learning.

Cynic, noun

1. a person who believes that people are motivated purely by self-interest rather than acting for honorable or unselfish reasons.

So, to be clear, I do not believe all prison guards and staff are motivated purely by self-interest rather than acting for honorable or unselfish reasons. Others do believe that.

I’m a happy Kagi customer, but that’s an interesting use case for a search engine that I hadn’t previously considered. Is there a “golden era” of search engines returning results for discovery?

I use forums, wikis, and content aggregators (e.g. Reddit) to discover related topics. If a search engine returns too many results, I refine my search terms.

Are they accurate enough to use in bulk? .... given their accuracy with code bugs, I'm inclined to say "probably not", except by people already knowledgeable in the content. They can generally reject false positives without a lot of effort.
Exactly. Î really don’t understand that some take issue of verifying ages. IRL, you can be asked your ID to buy porn magazines, drink alcohol… Why would it be a nuisance to verify the same things online? Is it because you would be asked every time as your data wouldnt be stored for privacy issues? So, people are realizing that automating everything has drawbacks and that interacting with real humans directly has also advantages? Societies have evolved over hundreds of years and that has resulted in sets of rules to organize them. Would you really prefer the real life to have the rules of the internet replace what we have IRL?

Thanks for the response here -- 0 constraints. Lots of PDFs in and a final PDF out. Questions vary per RFP but we have 90% of cases covered in a google doc answer bank. I'd be curious how this could be within a template -- so maybe Copilot would be the right tool here. Raw output of text to then format would still be 20% of the work without that.
