Don't need any special tech or geometry, just light. If it's relatively darker in the watched-from areas it's harder to see in than out.
Who's even trying to make that point? Isn't it more like "I don't need privacy because I have nothing to hide"?

From having worked on systems like this, anything that allows a cop to look into people's whereabouts will have extensive logs of queries being performed because abuses are one of the first problems you run into. They happen _all the time_. They'll look up their romantic partners, an ex's new boyfriend, ...

I am of the opinion that automatic gathering of the travel history of a plate should be locked behind judicial approval, and that the data should have a lifetime. But I'm 99.99% confident that the searches are at least logged because we got complaints, like, 1 month in.
The cameras are central to the privacy aspect, not the cars.

A car can be identified by its plates, while a pedestrian can be identified by their face or other features. Perhaps not today by some legal or technical difficulty, but the infrastructure to do so is in place.

There is a reasonable expectation of privacy in public places. One might not reasonably expect that one's photograph should not be taken in public, but one may reasonably expect not to have one's every move recorded, profiled, indefinitely stored and shared with various third parties, or to have one's every conversation on the phone or with other people recorded with sophisticated cameras or sensors, and for that to be attached to one's detailed profile.

What is described is a surveillance state, which anyone who values some degree of personal freedom will reasonably object to. The installment of sophisticated cameras capable of tracking one's movement throughout an entire country provides the means for such surveillance state, and should be strongly objected by anyone who values one's personal freedom.

Those in favor of such installment for the facilitation of criminal persecution should at the very least require strong guarantees about its usage, such as storage limits and regular public audits of such implementation, closed circuits instead of publicly networked solutions, etc, and strongly oppose any arrangements that do not fulfill stringent privacy requirements. Unfortunately I am yet to see any real person advocate for this with any real political strength.
True ! So why can I only remap cycling window in one direction and not the other ... ?

The volume and power icons on the top right is actually one button and hides other option like screen lightning volume and wifi etc.

From what I heard GNOME devs do not like change and it sucks to be a GNOME extension developer, a quick google search seems to confirm that so it casts some doubt about them up-streaming any of them but maybe you know better. Has it ever happened to other extensions ?

Haven't really used MacOS or iOS more that five minutes so I can only trust you on that.

On the other hand for example, it is very easy to remap CapsLock to Escape on MacOs. Just go to Setting --> Keyboard and you easily find the option. GNOME ? No, not in settings. Wait I have to use an app called gnome-tweak ? Ok it's in "Advanced keyboard otions" --> Opens a big list of loosely classified options. Oh well it was in miscellaneous category.
Apple is to blame for many things, but the fact that if whatsapp has access to your contact list you can't start a conversation with any phone number in an easy way is entirely up to them.

This said, it's good to see that apple is slowly adding things so basic that it's baffling they are not there since years.
>And I’m not blaming the author, the standard library docs even recommend using a third party library (albeit not the one the author is using) on the closest equivalent (urllib.request)!

For perspective: urllib has existed since at least as 1.4 (released in 1996), as long as python.org's archive goes back (https://docs.python.org/release/1.4/lib/node113.html#SECTION...). Requests dates to 2011. httpx (the author's choice) has a 0.0.1 release from 2015, but effectively didn't exist until 2019 and is still zerover after a failed 1.0.0 prerelease in 2021. Python can't be sanely compared to the modern package-manager-based upstarts because it's literally not from that generation. When Python came out, the idea of versioning the language (not referring to a year some standards document was published) was, as far as I can tell, kinda novel. Python is older than Java, Applescript, and VB; over twice as old as Go; and over three times as old as Swift.

>Especially for a language that has not cared too much about backwards compatibility historically

It's always confused me that people actually see things this way. In my view, excessive concern for compatibility has severely inhibited Python (and especially packaging, if you want to include that despite being technically third-party) from fixing real problems. People switching over to 3.x should have been much faster; the breaking changes were unambiguously for the better and could not have been done in non-breaking ways.

There are tons of things the developers refuse to remove from the standard library that they would never even remotely consider adding today if they weren't already there - typically citing "maintenance burden" for even the simplest things. Trying to get anything added is a nightmare: even if you convince everyone it looks like a good idea, you'll invariably asked to prove interest by implementing it yourself (who's to say all the good ideas come from programmers?) and putting it on PyPI. (I was once told this myself even though I was proposing a method on a builtin. Incidentally, I learned those can be patched in CPython, thanks to a hack involving the GC implementation.) Then, even if you somehow manage to get people to notice you, and everyone likes it, now there is suddenly no reason to add it; after all, you're in a better position to maintain it externally, since it can be versioned separately.

If I were remaking Python today, the standard library would be quite minimal, although it would integrate bare necessities for packaging - APIs, not applications. (And the few things that really need to be in the standard library for a REPL to be functional and aware of the platform, would be in a namespace. They're a honking great idea. Let's do more of those.)
I think you can be funny, but only in posts that are made to be funny. xkcd is primarily intended as comedy and that's fine.

Mixing humor into serious communication comes at the expense of authenticity. It's difficult to know what an author really means when they mix attempts at humor into the writing (and this is often deliberate, if someone makes a particularly spicy political remark, it's usually in the form of a joke, in order to shield from potential backlash). Overall it's a style of writing that feels sophomoric and insecure, as though the message itself isn't enough so there's a need to crack jokes to compensate. This successfully distracts from the message you're trying to convey, ... at the expense of clarity.
Yeah, might be more like 6 months from now when I upgrade my k8s cluster version and cycle out containers I'll have no idea why things are failing. Fun times.

"High demands are not high expectations." Holy crap that is a great phrase!
You are being too generous. Talk to most people over 50 (not even dragging current politics into this). Some have (still) some critical thinking, but a lot of them have their opinions set in stone, ego adequately high, and criticism is taken very defensively, you end up in 'other' camp, stonewalled.

It may not be the audience here so much, but average folks out there?

Interesting bit of history! That said, OpenAI’s product team is lights out. I pay for most LLM provider apps, and I use them for different areas of strength, but the ChatGPT product is superior from a user experience perspective.
On the one hand this is true. Particularly the quantum stuff is mostly pointless. On the other hand, failure to incorporate fresh entropy into systems — turning them deterministic - is one of the rising crypto bug classes. The best solutions will mix the two.

"expectation of privacy" is one of those slippery terms where lawyers use it differently from the public, and this isn't immediately obvious.

Historically, we have expected that people can see us in public. However we have not had the expectation that:

- that we are identifiable to people other than acquaintances

- that we can be tracked by people not present, either at the time or later - and for someone to physically follow you to track your movements would fairly quickly lead to alarm and summoning the police to remove them.

So no, other than lawyer's argot, we have always had a reasonable expectation of privacy in public places. Not absolute privacy, but privacy in the areas that matter to most of us.
There is definitely a trend, and not a new one, to assume that all managers, directors, etc. are just bumbling fools who nepotised their way into bags of cash every two weeks and provide no actual value. I'm sure there are examples where that's the case, but at least in the (small no-name) companies I've worked at my entire career, the non-owner bosses are typically as smart as I am or smarter, work about as hard as I do with a lot more inanity to deal with, and don't actually make that much more money especially at the front-line manager and director level.

"50K+ Active Ghibli AI Artists"

Is that referring to the people using this tool? You are calling them artists?
100%, my son will be 2 next month and he's even started saying his own name in the tone we do when we're telling him it's not safe and then giggling to himself!

He can recognise a lot of birds, trees, flowers (daffodils, primroses, hyacinths, tulips) coming out in the garden at the moment, only needs to be told what it is once or twice for it to stick.
Yes, and most people prefer to eat sweets and pizza instead of vegetables.

That doesn't change that single family homes are essentially making childcare and elderly costs skyrocket.

Personally, I'd much rather deal with the inconvenience of having family in my house than pay more than the mortgage on my property for childcare, and have my parents die bankrupt because of long term care costs.

Single family households bleed generational wealth, and that's somewhat ok during a period where the house itself appreciates enough to offset that... but otherwise... it's a bad deal.

Side note... it really helps if you don't hate your family. Sounds like you have personal issues on that front.
"It’s a paradigm shift where we go from having an expectation of privacy even in public spaces to its inverse."

What? Who has an expectation of privacy 'even in public spaces'? You're in public with a serialized mode of transportation (license plate) that requires a state-issued license to operate. Why would you expect 'privacy' in public?
wouldnt the fastest possible grant be no requirement for grant at all?
Thank you for building the personal blog ranking btw.

If I remember correctly you sold your hardware business recently (or it felt recently). I'm curious, what is the motivation for moving into the content business? I'm certainly interested in this project, and will likely buy the book, etc, but I'm also somewhat disappointed to not see you going after something bigger/harder/technical and sharing that journey. I found your previous work very inspiring.

I don't want to insinuate that I don't think this is valuable, it definitely is, and I expect it to be successful. I'm just curious about what led you from point A to point B on this one.
If I pick up a Linux laptop right now, how well will it handle low latency audio? How well will it handle power management? My graphics hardware? Getting WiFi to work reliably is still an issue.

That's only partially true and has flattened off in recent years. In the US the deficit of goods and services imports vs exports only represents 2.8% of total GDP.

I'm not arguing that animal isn't a useful term, but if you're dividing eukaryotes into the major groups, it's not one of them.

> More personally speaking: what am I missing out by using the four kingdoms? Like, how could that possibly ever backfire in a way that slightly impacts my life negatively, or impedes the scientists studying genetic lineages?

Sure, where does kelp fit in? How about slime molds?

Also, I'm not suggesting we teach children all the nuance of phylogeny. I'm suggesting we don't teach a version that we've proven to be objectively wrong.

Eventually, the four-kingdoms system will go away, and it will sit next to the "animal, vegetable, mineral" system in the annals of scientific history.
The argument is not that this theoretical 3rd party would be a for-profit company, but that there's already existing for-profit companies that exist and could serve that purpose, and that the new 3rd party wouldn't see much use because of that.

They almost certainly are willing to buy hordes of data off of google/facebook/etc.; it's useful data that they're already negotiating to get. Why, then, would they be want to put in the effort for a warrant on cctv footage when the suspect's google search and maps history they're alreaty getting contain the same info and more? At best, your creating a small amount of competition for data brokers, and I question if it's that much.
We frame hybrid as RTO because hybrid is usually mandatory rather than flexible, and implies having to live in some wretched metro area close to an office. I want to live someplace where offices do not exist, which means hybrid is a non-starter for me.

Mandatory hybrid == RTO, but optional hybrid - a combination of hybrid for those who live near an office and remote for those who don’t - can please both camps without drawing battle lines between them.
Wait but then why is one physical iPhone identical to another physical iPhone of the same model?

I’m not asking to criticize. I’m genuinely curious.

Not even all electronic products always feel the same in one’s hands like iPhones of the same model do. For example I remember back in the day my Xbox controllers would feel different from my friend’s Xbox controllers even though they were the same model and supposedly manufactured the same.
I mean that from the point of view of YAGNI for a small app. For a big one, absolutely, you will find the places where the theoretical distinctions suddenly turn real. Decoupling your data model from your storage is a real concern and Session on its own won't give you that advantage of a real repository layer.

SQLAlchemy is flexible, though. You can map a Person from three tables if you need to. It's a data mapper, then a separate query builder on top, then a separate ORM on top of that, and then Declarative which ties them all together with an ActiveRecord-ish approach.

> I prefer not to use ORMs but just write queries and map the results into value objects. That work I would put into a Repository.

Yep, I hear ya. Maybe if they'd built on top of something lower-level like stdlib sqlite3, it wouldn't be so tempting to dismiss as YAGNI. I think my comment sounded more dismissive than I really meant.
Really cool, feels like the v1 of the lightning trees from Hyperion. Was hoping there was a breakdown of how the trees accomplish this. Will be interested to see follow up
There are some motherboards that can switch either PS/2 or RS232 signalling onto USB-A connectors, but this is completely non-standard hack mostly seen on some enterprise stuff few years back that seems to have mostly died away.
> Then you get sad, because you realize there is no way to get actual representation for the issues you care about other than to run yourself, but if you ran explicitly to challenge those in power, those in power would fund your opposition. So then you realize that it's hard to get into power without expressing loyalty to those who grant power, and then you have a cogent explanation for why things are the way they are.

For a practical example, see Bernie.

I use the hyphen key, and hit it once for a hyphen or for a minus sign, and I use it twice for an em dash.

I will admit right here in front of god & everybody that I'm pretty sure I've never typed an en dash at all.

I'm building a high-performance PDF design tool that feels just as fast as native software.

I always wanted to build this tool, but I kept putting it off—finally did it!

My goal was to create a full-fledged PDF editor that allows you to modify text, images, and the layout inside your PDFs.

I also wanted to support both scanned and non-scanned PDF files.

it's still not perfect and not 100% ready yet, but I think some people might find it useful.
It sounds like you have never needed to organize against a government which threatens your safety, or that you haven't found yourself engaging in any activities that were well-protected at the dawn of the US Constitution but are now considered to be felonious, whether for self-medication, as an act of protest, or as an act of survival.

This means that you have a lot to be grateful for, but your perspective is privileged and may not take into account that not every life is like yours. You don't feel the chains of oppression until you need to break them. I would recommend considering what kind of person might not benefit from mass surveillance in this current political climate where students are disappearing just for protesting against a religious genocide.

You could definitely argue that surveillance is inevitable as a technology; but the government is supposed to serve its people, and without strong guarantees of established freedoms and protection from the negative effects of mass surveillance, the people should not allow the government to engage in such surveillance. Especially not the dragnet style of surveillance that is common today, and especially in the wake of modern analysis tools where prejudice can be automated.

> Cops are known to be abusive, violent thugs

Although I agree with your sentiment on data privacy, I don't know where you live but in the United States this is a gross [and potentially dangerous] overgeneralization of a million+ hard-working officers who committed their lives to your safety in spite of regularly encountering life-threatening situations.
I think Thailand is much more integrated to the West in all sorts of ways. And Myanmar is deep into a civil war and that I assume reduces greatly the number of foreign journalists, foreigners in general, social media access, etc.
I mentioned that as an advantage in one of my other comments. An advantage both ways, because it depends on preference. I have the same preference as hansvm: I would rather see the dangling dash at the end of the line, so I prefer putting spaces around the dashes. Having the entire word-dash-word structure move to the next line feels ugly to me. As with most things, de gustibus non est disputandum. (And also, quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur).
That is only a small part though. Russia has a lot more access, as does Canada. However between Greenland and Alaska the US would control shipping by controlling the choke points everyone needs to go through. (Canada and Russia would also have plenty of control).

Though it makes more sense to be friends with whoever controls Greenland.
