> I think uncontrolled price of cloud traffic - is a real fraud

Yes, it is.

> and way bigger problem then some AI companies that ignore robot.txt.

No, it absolutely is not. I think you underestimate just how hard these AI companies hammer services - it is bringing down systems that have weathered significant past traffic spikes with no issues, and the traffic volumes are at the level where literally any other kind of company would've been banned by their upstream for "carrying out DDoS attacks" months ago.
Good luck. They just need to fire the entire team, and admit defeat, and integrate with an existing offering: Claude, OAI, etc

Have you tried Steam Link? The few VR games I have on PC may not be that detailed, but it seems to provide good quality video most of the time.
You probably aren't very familiar with kinky people, probably because they sense that if their kink is not your kink, you will judge them for it, so they don't tell you about it. Humiliation is very much not my thing (from either side) but I can tell you it's a surprisingly common kink. People who find it sexually exciting don't usually lead lives that are especially unusual in other ways; it's up to you to decide whether that means they're actually okay or that the rest of us are not.

Not only confusion, but inability to just install on mac/linux, right? I believe both come with screen by default…

Edit: let me actually think a bit before commenting - it would probably just install, but then you run screen and you might or might not get your newly-installed software (so yeah confusion). Not a great first experience at worst
that could be a fun idea actually.. whenever a book author has a patreon or a tippee .. throw them a buck or two (that doesn't help the editor / distributor though)
Carbon Fibre didn’t become mainstream until Pagani Composite Research was established in 1988. The person who brought carbon fibre to the masses was Horacio Pagani through his cooperation with Lamborghini. That’s where Horacio Pagani had the money from to focus on Pagani Automobili.
China got rid of their rules for how many children you can have a long time ago but I suspect such trauma doesn’t leave a population easily.

In a world where people are considered illegal, you’ll have lots of people trying to leave no footprints and far away from seats of authority where your odds of drawing attention on accident are much better.

I don’t think I did miss their point. The loss is not the deletion of their productivity, it is the cost of shifting that productivity back by a day or so.
> Having spoken with a number of people who were involved with the 2020 census (mostly on a volunteer, local basis) the answer is not "absolutely every person in the country got counted exactly once".

Do you have any thoughts on how the US census takes your insightful comment's points into account?

I imagine it's got to be quite an involved process given the vast differences in US geography, kinda blows my mind thinking about even basic stuff like age demographics vs. taking into account how many people died on census day.

But then - maybe that's too granular and it all balances out in the end? Or at least, it does if you use special magic sauce the US census has covered?
The RDP GDI messages are from RDP6, graphical messages have changed many times over in the versions of RDP that followed. Would you be surprised to learn that WSLg uses a FreeRDP server hooked to a Wayland compositor running in the Linux guest, and that the RDP client in the Windows host is MSRDC in a special RemoteApp mode? In theory someone could build a similar RDP server using IronRDP

I like this. It addresses a need for quickly writing math expressions with an intuitive syntax. I don’t have to write math expressions often enough to remember the more complex formatting from more powerful packages; and when I do use mathematical expressions, they are usually fairly simple. This will fill that niche.
I agree. About a year into the Intel transition, around 2007, it was incredibly stable.

I was doing hardcore computation 24/7 on a MacBook, including model checking real-time systems, and I vividly remember the exact day I experienced one kernel panic.

The rest of the time, everything was rock solid. It's sad both quality and aesthetics degraded during the 2010s, where the system somewhat converged to iOS UI patterns and lost skeuomorphism.

Apple did skeuomorphism really well, which is hard. No idea why they moved to flat designs, which are easy to copy by competitors.
Yea, Steam Link is also a better option than Quest Link in terms of video quality.
Okay. If I'm in a job market where what I want isn't possible, what does that reality suggest about my demands, the market, and the people who ultimately set the prices in that market (i.e., the public)?

I'm told by co-workers that the way to use VR headsets for coding is to make the text size large, but to create multiple large text panels. With VR, you essentially have low resolution virtual "monitors" but they're very large and you can have 6+ of them open at a time.

Personally, it still makes me sick when I try to use it for that.
Just because a whole industry is bullshit doesn't mean I should force it to not exist. I don't like musicals. I don't understand or care anything about their culture. But it has a right to exist. Some people are into musicals. Their existence or non-existence isn't my problem and it isn't my business. We cannot and should not try to engineer the world around what we personally find valuable and ignore what others find valuable, even if they got their opinions form an ad, or their parents did and they inherited it.
That's a really valid point!

I'll take a better look at the copy so it points out more to this "I know you can do it, but should you do it?".

Thanks for the insights!
Not even just to get a confession. Police can stop you on the street for no reason and lie to your face telling you that you are required to hand over your ID or allow them to search you and if you refuse you'd be committing a crime and will go to jail. If you don't know your rights you can end up giving them permission to violate them.

You can't even trust police to tell you when you're doing something illegal.
> Apple is not perfectionistic. Apple is performative.

My guy, Apple is autistic as shit. Just look at how in-house everything is. Every time Apple runs into someone doing it wrong, they do it themselves. You know the saying; if you want something done right...

Sure, they're performative as well, but that doesn't change that they are still in the process of doing absolutely everything from scratch because the existing solutions are not good enough for them.

I don't know if you've used the new Apple Silicon MacBooks, but I have a 128GB/8TB one lined up for me to pick up from the Apple Store in about an hour. It's certainly not the best that Apple offers (that would be the new 512GB/16TB Mac Studio) but it practically wipes the floor with every other laptop on the planet. Because Apple made their own chips, because everyone else was doing it wrong.
Massive overreach. The GOP has become a rotten organization.
I think we agree. Regardless of the actual numbers, we clearly have more evidence for evolution than anything else.
"systematically", dude, it costs money, it might not be safe.

There are some rural places in the Mountains in places not so far from America where they harass and rape teachers, doctors or any government service employees.

The national census always struggles how to safely and practically reach those places.
I mean sure? I’m just voicing my intuition from before seeing data as someone who does not live in New York or in a congestion pricing affected area.
I mean that's nice and all, but you're comparing the US to countries that literally don't enshrine that protection at all. It is not a universal principle of criminal justice that you have the right not to be confronted with evidence obtained improperly. Again: compare this to France, which doesn't even have an adversarial criminal justice system --- they run an inquisitorial system, with cooperating judges and prosecutors.

None of this is to say that the US system is better; it is better in some ways and worse in others (notably sentencing).

E-Graphs are a quite interesting tool, and I find them quite exciting, but whenever I hear about people excitedly advocating for them, I can't help but worry that they're not scalable. Asymptotically, these graphs must get enormous if you have a large expression and many rules.

Does anyone know of any research into their large-scale performance compared to other approaches to transforming expressions like SSA compilers or symbolic term rewriters?

Great post!

If you're a PL/compiler/GC hacker, then here are wheels you should reinvent in order to even just have a basic idea of WTF is going on in the Big Serious Production Wheels that you might end up being gainfully employed to maintain:

- Invent your own language, and write at least an interpreter for it, to get a feel for what makes a language work at all, or not.

- Invent your own compiler IR. Don't worry if you make a bunch of mistakes. Don't worry about whether you follow my advice for how to do it, or anyone else's advice. Make it your own and learn from your mistakes.

- Invent your own way of doing the major compiler optimizations. Of course there are established ways of doing SSA conversion, CSE, constant prop, regalloc, instruction selection, etc. But you won't know why they are that way unless you try to make your own, and then either succeed because you are smarter than everyone else (it's possible that you are), or succeed because you literally reinvented the wheel (then you understand the compiler's wheels better than your friends because you got there from first principles), or you'll fail (most likely outcome) but then you'll understand why the real wheels work the way that they do better than others.

- Reinvent memory management. Write your own GC or whatever.

That's how I learned the craft. Can't think of a better way to learn.

Ooof fiction teaching Idealism. From Nietzsche to Plato, its agreed, fiction corrupts. One day the floury idealism will be seen not to work, and the damage will have already been done.

Private Cloud Compute is already used for existing Apple Intelligence features (all, like, one total of them).
There are a few ways in which bots can fail to get past such challenges, but the most durable one (ie. the one that you cannot work around by changing the scraper code) is that it simply makes it much more expensive to make a request.

Like spam, this kind of mass-scraping only works because the cost of sending/requesting is virtually zero. Any cost is going to be a massive increase compared to 'virtually zero', at the kind of scale they operate at, even if it would be small to a normal user.
The bit that's not obvious is how the low weight and short leverage of the headset affects lag.

When you are wearing a heavy headset that extends far from your face, it's not just the rendering latency and screen latency that affects the disconnect between your head movements and what you see. The headset physically lags behind your head motion because it has inertia. The total lag is the sum of the digital and physical lag. So, improving the frame rate can only get closer to the physical lag.

And, that's on top of the practically-instant pixel response of OLED vs LCD.

All that is to say that there are physical explanations for why 90 and even 75 Hz is better in practice than people would reasonably expect on the BSB. I can confirm first-hand. And, so have many reviewers.
Thanks for the feedback! I was burying the lede a bit on purpose to entice the reader to read more, but I also completely understand your perspective as well.
Look into installing xorgxrdp-glamor and openh264. I have zero issues in Fedora, at least, and most of my Debian machines (even ARM) have equivalent packages (although sometimes without full acceleration).
im not debating the user level stuff. honestly i think there's fair argument for not letting users get bogged down in system level details. but in my opinion, if people dont understand this why, its a useful thing to learn. its only a small detail in the end.

i think, because software is built up abstractions over abstractions, its unavoidable such details creep into languages from the depths of the system. its not too long ago people didnt even have C or such high level constructs. so coming from there and building up its logical. Now, making something new, from above, one might put 1 as an index for the first element, but its likely during writing of a language you'll end up in the depths and come up with 0 anyway.

think of how a 1 index will work vs a 0 index on ptrs. (pseudo code)

ptr += index x size_of_object

ptr += (index-1) x size_of_object

if you wanna run that on the cpu, either compiler needs to come up with the first one or it will have an additional sub or decrement?

or do you want the compiler to have a duty of doing the index-1, it will result in the original code again, also possible. it will take extra compiler or interpreter time.

(or am i missing something completely?)
None of your supposed alternatives were actually on the table. Traffic in Manhattan is largely caused by drivers from other states and the state of New York has exactly one means to tax that behavior. If your solutions are politically impossible or predicated on a revolution, they aren't legitimate alternatives. In this sense, the connection with housing/homelessness discourse is completed: many non-solutions to housing costs are predicated on the workers' glorious revolution happening first.

Ask HN: Why Are We Fighting AI Scrapers If the Internet Is Meant to Be Public?
Cloudflare launched “AI Labyrinth” — traps for AI scrapers: fake AI-generated pages that confuse bots and burn their resources.

But… what’s the point? Can someone explain this to me? Why are we trying to make it harder for AIs to access public info humans can find anyway? We’ll get there either way.
Yeah, there's a market of people who are willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars for marginal improvements to VR. There are communities who spend about as much time in VRChat as they do in meatspace. And plenty of older folks who are into motorsport and aviation where the cost of a headset is trivial compared to running costs of a sports car or airplane.
This is a chicken egg problem. No one is demanding better public transit if the demand isn't there and we already know more cars are a problem. Congestion pricing increases demand for transit, takes cars off the road, and increases MTA funding to fix these issues. It is not perfect but it is better than cars sitting in Manhattan smogging up the air in traffic.
I love the Touch Bar. Should have been above the function keys
I may just be missing how this would work.

How would this help lower prices? The taxes have to be paid for by someone, and that cost should largely end up landing on the consumer.

It seems like we'd be changing who's hands the money moves through, but it still has to be paid for one way or another. If that's the case we'd risk higher prices since taxes have to subsidize prices and cover all the costs of running the program in the first place.
Willow Garage envisioned in the early 2010s that a successor to the PR2 would be a mass-market bi-manual manipulator able to complete a wide range of household tasks. They folded in 2014.

Ten years later, I don't think the state of the art in general purpose robotics is that much further along. Even top tier research robots would struggle to climb the stairs or navigate around my kids' messy bedrooms, much less complete the wide array of tasks that my amazing housekeeper cheerfully and proactively handles for a bit over minimum wage.

I'm aware of the 1x Neo, but that has a lot of unknowns— the videos are full of cuts and have significant evidence of teleoperation and no indication of things like lift strength or battery life. What they're purporting to show is simply not aligned with what the state of the art is in perception and manipulation/grasping. They're a long ways from having even the hardware solved, much less the software.

I can't find a reference, but I have a vague memory that in original Mac OS X, 1-pixel-width lines drawn at integer locations would be blurred by antialiasing because they were "between" pixels, but lines drawn at e.g. x = 35.5 were sharp, single-pixel lines. Can anyone confirm/refute this?

Maybe “u’re” is unambiguous here, but “re” might have been a step too far to still know what word writer was abbreviating.

The question was about contracting “u’re” to “ur”, as is commonly done in text-ese, not to “re”.

> You have a right to know exactly where you're fitting into an investigation, if you're the subject or a witness (and your role cannot change

The end result of that would logically have to be that everyone police talk to at all times are a "subject" because it's perfectly reasonable that someone who is questioned about what they know about a crime might end up having had some part in it.

Vue is quite different, as it uses proxies for reactivity and automates a lot for you… no need for dependency arrays or worrying about re-renders, for example.

I like React but it does put some burden on the developer to get it right. I find that even backend devs doing frontend super casually adapt quick and barely makes mistakes in Vue, but in React even experienced mid-level frontend devs can make a mess pretty quickly.

All IMO and IME of course.
To be fair, though, staring at a screen for 8+ hours a day can give you digital eyestrain and nearsightedness even if it's 2m away the whole time.
I've never heard from anyone who likes the Apple Mouse enough to use it, but doesn't like the charging from the bottom. It's frequently cited as a 'flaw' by those who don't use it, this has become a bit of conventional wisdom. In reality it's a non-issue.

I have heard from a whole lot of people who don't like the Apple Mouse. I don't like that mouse. But it isn't because of the charge port. It's an uncomfortable shape for my hand, and I prefer a trackball.

I think it's fine for Apple to have one peripheral which appeals to a minority taste. We're not short of mouse designs and they all work with the operating system. It's not even the main peripheral Apple sells for the purpose, that's the trackpad and everybody likes it. I still prefer a trackball, Tim Cook uses some kind of oddball vertical mouse with a bunch of buttons. It's a big design space.

If they wanted to please the maximum amount of people, they'd need to clone Microsoft's mouse, and that would be boring.
profit = revenue - cost

Revenue and cost both increase by 10% due to inflation

profit = 1.1 * revenue - 1.1 * cost

profit = 1.1 * (revenue - cost)

So profit also increased by 10 percent.

They were using a bit of hyperbole for sure (though another poster accurately pointed out to you methods used against Northern Irish folk), but the reaction of gov agencies to use imprisonment (even as a threat!) for pointing out security fuckups isn't without precedence. It's happened to me :)

So, I guess I really don't understand your point. That being arrested for pointing these things out isn't bad because it's not being disappeared?
