Just my reading, not well separated from my own views but - he's wanting a steam powered paintbrush with thousand buttons that only professionally trained artists are allowed to use and does nothing if held in a hand of an average person. He's done with proxy manipulation through metadata such as fabricated museum captions, negative Danbooru tags, and lines painted over existing works. This is not exactly the problem definition made above nor a fair description to the problem, and it's opposite of "democratization" concepts, but I do believe that's what it is. It's also what Photoshop is, anyway. Untrained users can barely draw a smiley with Photoshop open on a Wacom display.

If I really think about it, it feels just weird to me that fabricated metadata is supposed to be enough to yield an art. Metadata by definition do not contain data. It's management data artificially made to be as disconnected from data as possible. The connections left between the two are basically unsafe side effects.

I wish OpenAI and its followers quit setting bridges ablaze left and right, though I know it's tall order.
Just wash the cutlery afterwards? Dish soap isn't food safe either for that matter.
Incidentally, if you think of TOTP as being HMAC(unix mod 30, secret), one idea would be to do public key crypto instead of symmetric HMAC stuff. That's basically what a security key is.

If you additionally made it so that you couldn't phish the security key -- by having the OS + web browser know which apps can ask for which security keys -- you'd have reinvented WebAuthn.

Another key part of FIDO2 phishing protection is challenge-response. The relying party sends some random material/nonce that the authenticator has to sign. This avoids replay attacks that e.g. a time-based method would have, since when a phisher tries to authenticate, the RP will send a different nonce and the phisher cannot sign it.

No, I treat AE reviews as written by the manufacturer. Sometimes I'll look to see if a legitimate user has posted something wrong with the product, or a caveat, but I never pay attention to the rating.

I've had almost solely good experiences with AE, but it does take experience to shop there (never trust the photos, if the price is too cheap it's a scam, batteries are always fake, etc).
another reading is that they don’t want someone coming back and being debriefed about the experience

I would expect the inheritance pattern to be quite rare in performance-aware software design overall, since such constructs tend to be rather cache-unfriendly. So I would attribute the low number of references to inheritance being rare, rather than @fieldParentPtr not being used for inheritance.

3. Running out of water.

just write another prompt

edit to say:

One of the best skills for developers is to lookup information using search engines. All the information is out there already you just need an understanding what you are looking for. This is similar to painting the colors are there already but not everyone is a good painter. LLMs empower skilled developers and do the boilerplate work usually done by mediocre developers.
Later on it will depend on who can write the best prompt but that requires understanding.
Ask HN: Why is there no better protocol support for WiFi captive portals?
I'm curious why we still rely on hacky techniques like requesting captive.apple.com and waiting for interception, rather than having proper protocol-level support built into WPA. Why can't the WPA protocol simply announce that authentication requires a captive portal?

This seems like every public hotspot I connect to it's flakey and will sometimes report it's connected when it still requires captive portal auth. Or even when it does work it's a 15 second delay before the captive screen pops-up. Shouldn't this have been solved properly by now.

Does anyone have insight into the technical or historical reasons this remains so messy? If the wireless protocol could announce to the client thru some standard, that they have to complete auth via HTTP I feel the clients could implement much better experience.
Microsoft is surprisingly bad at software these days in my experience as an end-user of said software who has been using Microsoft software as far back as MS BASIC 2.0 on the Commodore 64.

Despite all of the negative aspects of Microsoft in terms of business practices and such, I still found their software to be of very high quality from an end-user perspective through the 90s and up to around 2019 or so.

Almost every bit of software I've used from them over the past 5-6 years across apps, Windows, the web and Xbox has been increasingly terrible (bloated, slow, buggy, etc), the only exception being VSCode.

Not sure what changed there to cause this but the external impact is unmistakable.

The Jetbrains AI autocomplete is indeed a lot better than the old one, but I can't predict it, so I have to keep watching it.

E.g. a few days ago I wanted to verify if a rebuilt DB table matched the original. So we built a query with autocomplete

SELECT ... FROM newtable n JOIN oldtable o ON ... WHERE n.field1<> o.field1 OR

and now we start autocompleting field comparisons and it nicely keeps generating similar code.

Until: n.field11<> o.field10

Wait? Why 10 instead of 11?

Yes, it's true for roads, but no-one expects roads to all turn a profit in the way that rail lines have to. Even for place with road use fees for motorways, most people can access the road system for rather less than the cost to construct and maintain it.

My friend and I attempted to cycle over 1300 kilometers during our university summer vacation without any special training. We just started off. This experience was very memorable because we had limited funds; I didn't have a sun-protective suit, and the bicycle was borrowed. Some protective gear was even handmade by my friend's mother, for which I am truly grateful. There was a particularly embarrassing incident where I even used women's sanitary pads because the area had become numb after long hours of cycling, and I needed something to cushion it. My friend bought them for me and insisted I use them. We also met many interesting people along the way. In short, although it was challenging, it was very fun. I believe that in life, some out-of-the-ordinary things are worth doing, but please always pay attention to safety.

The demands only seem inconsistent if you don't look at the actual principle underlying them. Political discourse tends to present opposing ideologies as being about principles like "free speech" or "free markets" - it's really all about power, who has it, and who wants it.

In this case its strengthening particular social and economic hierarchies - america vs the rest of the world, and white christians over non-whites or non-christian.

What's interesting is that this is not necessarily a struggle between the top of a hierarchy vs the bottom of one, but between two different hierarchies. The democrats support cultural non racial and economic hierarchies, while the republicans support racial international and the same economic hierarchies. So while they both support the rich over the working class, there is a struggle over whether to support racial and international hierarchies. Democrats tend to support globalization, i.e unifying of the power of the top of the economic hierarchy across international boundaries, while eliminating racial and sexual hierarchies as they are seen as "inefficient" from a neoliberal perspective. Republicans are more focused on the "national elite", the rich people that depend on america being a global hegemon specifically, energy industry, military industira-complex, etc..

There's been several reversals already. If trade policy is done by whim, why not wait for a reversal as soon as it starts to bite?

The whole category of "US business dependent on Chinese imports for inputs" is probably toast in the meantime. This includes a lot of kickstarters.

Kind of. People can always refuse to pay it and charge back. I'd imagine the US is about to have a massive amount of unclaimed parcels to deal with.
For pseudo-live streams such as sports events, that would be totally fine. People can have slightly out of sync streams, delayed by various amounts.

But you can't live stream a conversation with someone if you have a 10s delay.

It doesn't but, it prevents the code from being sold, without the source code attached.

I can pull the code, add some levels, polish this more, call CaveRider, and sell it as a binary. With GPL, you can't do that. You need to add the source to the archive, or make it accessible without any walls.

AFAIK IPv6 multicast across the internet is pretty much dead. ISPs seem to block it because of its DDoS potential. They use it themselves of course (very useful for streaming live TV across their private VLANs) but as an outsider you'll have to convince every ISP and backbone provider to trust your multicast stream, which they probably won't.

Tailscale (or any other P2P overlay network) could solve this problem by re-enabling the multicast support that most ISPs block. It's not a terrible idea.

Edit: a comment elsewhere linked https://www.librecast.net/librecast.html which seems to be doing exactly this.
Human Oversight for AI Agents via Azure Logic Apps and Python Decorators
When I've been experimenting with Cursor I've found that one of the essential parts is the agent MUST be able to close the loop itself for it to be useful in any real sense.

So if you are having the agent write a script to call an endpoint and do something with the result. Have it write a script that does that and then ask it to run the script itself. It will then be able to close the loop by itself and iterate on the code until it does what you want (usually).

It is also very useful to ask the agent to write a test for something and then run that test to close the loop in the same way.
Hmm interesting i didn't know that.

I couldn't find much docs on how it works, just https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute/architecture#live

Sounds like they break the stream into very small segments and publish each of those with bit torrent (?), they seem to claim about 30 second delay and scale in the hundreds but not thousands. Certainly impressive if true, i wouldnt of thought such an approach would scale so well. Of course its still a far cry from twitch, but nonetheless impressive.

It does work, but the problem is gasoline has distorted our view on how much energy we are actually using. Most people would shrug at using a single gallon of gas to drive to the store. But telling them they gotta cut down an entire tree just to drive to the corner store doesn't fly as well. Of course if we used all the energy in the tree instead of just what can be distilled off it would reduce the amount used quite a lot, but nobody is going to switch to steam boiler powered cars that they gotta fire up 45 minutes before hand.
