As long as you build an order around independence of countries and diplomacy (instead of, say, force) any organisation will only be as useful as countries are willing to follow and any structure can only be as good as the ones in charge are willing to go.

In consequences there are many flaws and a lot is stuck in post WW2 thinking, but I doubt there is a realistic chance of anything overall better.

The current U.S. administration tries to reshape things by disruption, we will see how this goes, but I doubt this will earn trust and buy-in from others. Thus not lead to a stable and "better" system. (While better, of course, is not globally objective, which again is key to the problem)
Laying down and rotting is it's own thing entirely and the Doomers and the Rotters are at odds.
Sheesh, just use BitTorrent. That's what open access licensing is for! BitTorrent's tit-for-tat approach limits the harm selfish actors can do, only greatly rewarding those whose behavior benefits others, and has been shown to be very robust against active disruption attempts for decades now. Moreover, it also confers some resistance to falsification of the published record, to linkrot, and to publishing companies going bankrupt.

Sooner or later we need to take back the legitimate internet from surveillance capitalism. Capitalism is great (it shares many of BitTorrent's virtues, not coincidentally) but surveillance capitalism is not.
Product market fit. Kylie has it.
I would love to see advancement in the pixel art space, specifying 64x64 pixels and attempting to make game-ready pixel art and even animations, or even taking a reference image and creating a 64x64 version
Funnily enough, from early indications (user feedback) this new model would've been worthy of the 3.0 moniker, despite what the benchmarks say.

Half of the country will do olympic level mental gymnastics to justify government misdeeds so long as those misdeeds happen from behind a desk and the other half will do the same if those misdeeds happen at the hands of someone with a badge and a gun.

Doesn't surprise me that a county that has both problems this exists somewhere.
Hi. Author of that article here, and I worked with the DC Council to get the initial prototype going, if anyone has any questions.

What's important in the story is that the law went from being not open to open and the law-publication-process was modernized internally. The fact that it ended up on GitHub was the least important, but most fun, outcome.

GitHub adds nothing of any value for the transparency and accountability of the lawmaking process (I mean, what lawmakers do), but it is a great platform for publishing structured data files for the law to create open access.
"If anything, I'd suspect that he'd keep the channel open as long as he could."

The real story is that he was added to the channel, so it doesn't surprise me that he didn't try to lurk indefinitely. I'm guessing these things are also ad-hoc, so perhaps the well was already dry after the attack?

But this is some truly amateur-hour shit. I've seen better communications discipline from volunteer open source projects than this.
And these guys have been in power for only a few months, they're still finding out about their new tools. What will happen in the next 4 years? will they even leave power peacefully?
Maybe people also caught up to the fact that the "our most X product" for Apple usually means someone else already did X a long time ago and Apple is merely jumping on the wagon.

It is not uncommon in certain rural Louisiana towns to have the local sheriffs/police make up some traffic offense and have you sit in the local jail for a weekend because the judge isn't going to show up until Monday if they don't like you being around there as an outsider/activist.
> I’ll take the dictionary definition:

Your definition is a fine one; I can agree on that as terminology.

> I genuinely and in good faith do not believe Trump fits this definition.

… I read that same definition, yet I cannot see which part you do not think he fits. Piece by piece:

> that exalts nation

Lit. MAGA, that anyone in his administration that is against him should be out (suppression of individual thought in favor of singular national identity), threats toward taking Greenland, Panama; most of the race stuff below ties in indirectly here too. Criticism of globalization. A general view of American exceptionalism and not "America is great because we're free (and that we show the world the power of what a free democracy is capable of)" but rather more "America is great because it is America." Christian nationalism ("I really believe it’s the biggest thing missing from this country, the biggest thing missing. We have to bring back our religion. We have to bring back Christianity in this country."; the GOP is in favor of the destruction of 1A's church/state separation, in order to promote Christianity.)

> and often race

His policies towards immigrants; the party's overtly and directly racist comments on numerous occasions (e.g., the Springfield lies told at the national debate, or the "poisoning the blood of our country" comments); sending alleged gang-member immigrants to a concentration camp…

(I'd extend this to include "women", too; it's fundamentally the same problem: people who are members of certain groups are "lesser" than others.)

> above the individual

Again, suppression of individual critical thought within his own administration; the party's desire to ban books, freedom of expression, and basic human rights for minority groups.

> that is associated with a centralized autocratic government

Trump has stated numerous times that he believes the Presidency has full, unconditional power, even above that of the other branches of government, and has demonstrated plain contempt for both the legislative branch (e.g., destruction of legislatively-mandated departments) and the judicial branch (lies about "radical judges", threats to impeach judges he disagrees with).

> headed by a dictatorial leader

Literally, he's referred to himself as "dictator", and "king". His party has equated him to an emperor (CPAC, dipicting Trump as Caesar). "Third term and beyond".

> severe economic and social regimentation

Suppression of LGBTQ+ people, women, Vance's comments regarding women…

> and by forcible suppression of opposition

The attempted coup.

Threats to fire anyone in the executive who isn't 100% going to lick the boot, threats to impeach judges, kidnapping of protestors, threats towards journalists…

Every single word in the definition you've provided fits.
There are four, possibly five distinct products called "Apple TV", including hardware, software, and a service.
And, by definition, Natalism is self-propagating. Is the implication here that the ideas that propagate and persist are inherently better?
The Bat! is a Windows client that focused on those things to a large extent. However, the fact that RitLabs are based on Moldova gives me pause. It did have MAPI support, so it was somewhat workable in company situations which used Outlook.
It's experimental. You shouldn't be using it in production.
I have considered, but so far there's no other hardware which has this form-factor with Libreboot support (although I'm unsure whether the X230 has x265 hw accel)
In my opinion there are at least two ways to interpret this:

a) It's an unintentional opsec failure. Perhaps there was an address book collision with another intended user. Perhaps it was fat-fingered. This seems likely.

b) It was an intentional leak. Perhaps overtly, perhaps covertly, by one or more of the channel members for unknown purposes. This seems less likely as there are better ways to leak with less blowback risk.

Regarding using Signal in the first place. Yes, this seems like bad opsec, but it's possible that the current admin working groups don't trust the official secure channels and assume they are compromised and they are being spied upon by their own or foreign agencies. That seems very likely, given the circumstances. In which case, it is still a possible opsec failure, but perhaps a less bad risk than trusting operational security to known adverse agencies. This is the more interesting case, imho, since the assumption on here is largely that these types of coordination should be happening on official government channels. But "government" is not necessarily a unified collective working towards the same goals. If you have a strong suspicion that agents within your own team are acting against your goals, then of course, you have to consider communicating on alternative channels. Whether that's to evade legal restrictions or transparency, like with the Clinton email servers, or to evade sabotage, I'm not judging the ethics, just considering the necessity of truly secure communication.

Is that trust in Signal justified? It suggests members at the highest security clearances believe Signal is not compromised. Are they correct? In any case, clearly there are more ways to fail opsec than backdoors.

Cheaper than that, and the Secretary of State doesn't actually verify anything.
Most of us care only about coding performance, and Sonnet 3.5 has been such a giant winner that we don't get too excited about the latest model from Google.
Yes - wake me up when there's real fascism and a not political opposition using rhetoric to scare monger their base. You're misrepresenting your political opponents views to justify feeling morally superior. I bet you've never even tried to understand you opposition's point of view in good faith.
Another excellent point.

Not awkward. Anatomically uncanny and physically impossible.
And once every iOS user was sufficiently confused about their settings, to the point where they where afraid to touch the settings app, out of fear that they might change something and never be able to figure out how to change it back, Apple replaced the macOS settings app with the iOS one. Thereby allowing desktop users to experience the hardship and mind numbing confusion that is the iOS settings app.

I hate settings on iOS so much. What a horrible broken shitshow that is.
Sounds really expensive for the municipality.

Presumably one can also pay to unexclude some data? When "the price is right".
There are many effective ways to argue against what you're saying, but I'll choose the easiest.

You said "perhaps" it doesn't matter. Well, perhaps it does matter. If there is even a small chance it does matter, we might as well act like it matters.
Hell of a decision.
Apple TV : device that connects to your TV

(Apple) TV app : program that lets you access video media sold by Apple and other streaming services that let Apple index their media (which is all except Netflix)

Apple TV+ : subscription service to access video media produced by Apple

While not the most clear situation, it’s not too bad, in my opinion.
The open source version supports only GitHub SSO, is that your provider?
And another note:

Locked reads must be paired with locked writes, and the CPU's bus interface enforces this by forbidding other memory accesses until the corresponding writes occur. As none are forthcoming, after performing these bus cycles all CPU activity stops, and the CPU must be reset to recover
It would be interesting and valuable to have additional security controls in Signal group chats. It's frustrating that the platform is so feature limited.
How could it not lead to conflict? As far as we have seen, different groups always come into conflict. Humans have already driven thousands of species to extinction and show no signs of that ever changing. Maybe an advanced civilization has found a way to reliably enforce peaceful conflict resolution on diverse groups, but it's vastly more likely that an advanced civilization would treat us the same way we treat less powerful groups.
That's useful, thank you! But it also highlights my point: Why do I have to observe minor details about how the result is being presented to me to know which model was used?

I get the intent to abstract it all behind a chat interface, but this seems a bit too much.
Just not so.

They are maxing out the CPU of the web servers. For example Anthropic hitting a server 11 times per second non-stop easily loads a basic web server serving a dynamic website. That's like 1 million page views per day. And they continue for weeks even though they could have scraped whatever they are after in less than an hour.

Microsoft has been SO bad at this for ages. It is clear that they are actually a company consisting of thousands of smaller companies all competing for different things. There is absolutely zero cohesion and they are fortunate to have a monumental base of users who are forced to tolerate their bullshit.
Thanks for the answer. I had forgotten about the No-communication theorem.

This led me into another rabbit hole :-) of why c is 299,792,458 m/s and for example not 499,792,458 m/s or some other value, and the fundamental constants that bring this value. [1]

Is there a current theory that tries to justify those constants that bring the current value of c ? Are those values the ones that must be, for the current Universe to be feasible?

UI could be considered failure if we were talking about casual gossip. Particular UI shouldn't be the issue because the App was not supposed to be used for this.
These should be professionals. Issue was between keyboard and chair.
Because it is a boring topic. HN like interesting conversations.
I view this as the language processing is similar but we’re not talking about thinking, just processing language.

I see this as maybe it’s not a statistical parrot, but it’s still only some kind of parrot,

I can't claim credit for any of this. As others have noted Einstein (and other much smarter people) are responsible.

Yeah, I lately tried to do some kind of automated migrations between an old and a new format which requires expert knowledge I don't have myself. In the end the solution also was way to creative with things that don't exist.

The way you described TV app and Apple TV+ makes it sound that they are identical or am I missing the difference?
What confusion? "x years of .NET experience" is what I see and it should suffice unless your whole career has been in an archaic version of .NET framework then you should have no issues working with either.
TPUs have a network topology better suited for long context than gpus: https://jax-ml.github.io/scaling-book/tpus/#tpu-networking

> This nearest-neighbor connectivity is a key difference between TPUs and GPUs. GPUs connect up to 256 H100s in an all-to-all configuration (called a node), rather than using local connections. On the one hand, that means GPUs can send arbitrary data within a node in a single low-latency hop. On the other hand, TPUs are dramatically cheaper and simpler to wire together, and can scale to much larger topologies because the number of links per device is constant.

This is the Chicago block I grew up on. It's less dense than Oak Park. It's easy find blocks like it elsewhere in Chicago. Jeff Park in Chicago and Oak Park are basically clones of each other.

This is really what most of Chicago looks like (modulo economic conditions in the different neighborhoods --- they're not all this upscale). It's a city of neighborhoods. Most of the streetscapes that jump to mind about Chicago, if you don't live here, are places people basically don't live.
Microsoft is moving away from the single-platform; they want their apps to run on Windows, web, Mac OS, iOS, Android, and maybe even Linux. They do not want to maintain radically different versions for all these different platforms.

Show HN: Jibril – Runtime security monitoring and enforcement for modern infra
Jibril is a runtime security monitoring and enforcement tool. It introduces a new architecture designed to overcome limitations of previous-generation runtime security tooling and EDRs, which were primarily built for traditional endpoints and long-running containerized workloads.

Jibril introduces an event-less architecture leveraging eBPF to maintain lightweight state maps directly within the kernel. Instead of buffering events, it queries kernel state directly, enabling real-time detection and enforcement with minimal overhead. This approach is especially effective for protecting ephemeral and cloud-native infrastructure against emerging threats that exploit low-level system behaviors.

The new sensor architecture delivers unique benefits:
- Simple deployment with out-of-the-box coverage: deploy instantly in any Linux environment using a single binary—no sidecars, kernel modules, or application code changes required. Integrates seamlessly into existing stacks with minimal dev/ops overhead and includes a comprehensive set of MITRE-mapped runtime detections.
- Real-time in-kernel detection & enforcement: enforce behavioural policies directly within the kernel in real-time. Features include live kernel-state querying, freezing suspicious processes, detailed process ancestry, and source-level context.
- Lightweight footprint: engineered specifically for modern environments, jibril operates with negligible CPU and memory overhead (typically <5%), ensuring performant visibility and response without the perf impact.

This enables modern platform and engineering teams to achieve runtime detection and response at scale, enabling use cases and answering questions such as:
- What network calls were made during my GitHub Actions test workflow, and what dependency triggered them?
- How can I restrict the python3 process from reading /proc/[pid]/mem to block memory dump attacks in my runner (as seen in the recent tj-actions supply chain attack)?
- How can I automatically block malicious DNS resolutions within K8s pods and automatically update cluster firewall rules using managed blocklists (e.g., known cryptomining pools and C2 servers)?

You can try it out for free today at https://jibril.garnet.ai/usage/installation. We’re looking forward to your feedback, questions, and suggestions on what we can improve on and build next!
Well there you go. Just as you say, it is also known as the STL.
I've experimented with AI DM-ing. There are pros and cons.

Like the author indicates, it reduces the cognitive load considerably. NPCs names, personality, description, and dialog can be generated wholesale. Place descriptions, etc, are fundamentally better than what I can improvise on my own. You can, today, simulate DnD using an LLM, however, you will run into some issues.

You will blow out the context window and lose important information. In particular, inventory, gold, key plot points, and HP will cease to exist as the story progresses. It will be forgotten before the players forget about it and then you'll have conflicting versions of reality with no easy way to resolve it - short of keeping track by hand or incorporating it into the world diagetically.

Acting as avatar for the LLM is rather fun. Converting their actions into subsequent prompts and then reading the responses back is genuinely enjoyable. I hope it gives the players a sense of actually participating in a DnD game, but I'm not sure - I've only DM-ed this way.

Ideally, there would be built in mechanisms for tacking these facts. I'd pay money for that. The benefit would be running an ad hoc game for friends with zero preptime. That's something that's otherwise unavailable to me.
