You can use a wattage meter between your outlet and computer. I've tried that, and the usage is around the same as a graphically intensive videogame while it is generating.

That's fair as far as accusing him of those things goes, but also maybe people positively associated with Epstein should be regarded with extreme suspicion and kept out of politics from now on as a precaution.

Assembly Bill No. 1043 was approved by California governor Gavin Newsom in October of last year, and becomes active on January 1, 2027 (via The Lunduke Journal).

Sounds like it already passed

Something about the way that garage is organized is so nice

Maybe it's just me but most times I try to compile a software project from source, it's gonna take a long time figuring out stuff not mentioned in the readme and I will probably give up in the end.

Very creepy and dehumanizing

On real Hacker News users, the AI correctly linked the secret username to the real person 67% of the time, and when it made a guess, it was right 90%. The paper also states that matching the same person's Reddit posts from different years or groups met with 68% success.

Sometimes there's something wrong with the way a website does login and the password manager options won't trigger. In this case AI can be useful for telling you to install pwgen.

Wait, are they called tie fighters because they look sort of like bow ties

My theory is that it is much psychologically easier to publish something you put little effort into and is mostly not your own work. Ego related fears are a strong motivator. Or maybe it's just a question of volume, idk.

I also noticed that, maybe it would help to add some kind of loading progress indicator?

The main complaints about Matrix I've heard though are about behind the scenes stuff rather than features, which the video touches on:

But there are some reasons why I think XMPP is superior. In Matrix, when you join a room, your server downloads and stores the entire history of that room. If someone on a federated server posts illegal content in a room you're in, your server is now hosting it, and you are liable. Whereas in XMPP, messages are relayed in real time. Group chat, MU history stays on your server hosting that room. So your server only stores messages for your users which means that no content caching there is no content caching from other servers. This is a fundamental architectural difference which makes the XMPP protocol better in my opinion.

Personally I don't know that much about it but I briefly looked into what it would take to write a client for Matrix a few years ago and it seemed pretty daunting to work with. Maybe it would be possible to write software that implements more Discord features on top of XMPP to have something that works more smoothly.

I feel like this is a pretty good "in media res" page

 

I was watching this video of a live chicken trapped on a moving truck and thought it was strange that it's not possible to say anything to them even when circumstances might warrant it. All we got is honking and waving. There could be a touchscreen interface with a map of nearby vehicles. It could be voice controllable or the passenger could do it for safety.

 

While alternative app stores operate independently and are required by EU law, Apple is still in a position to exert some control. This became apparent a few weeks ago, when iTorrent users suddenly ran into trouble when installing the app.

Thought this was an interesting story, since it's pretty analagous to the recent Android situation, with third party app stores being enabled to some extent, but the company retaining ultimate censorship power.

 

The Block BEARD bill broadly applies to service providers as defined in section 512(k)(1)(A) of the DMCA. This is a broad definition that applies to residential ISPs, but also to search engines, social media platforms, and DNS resolvers.

Service providers with fewer than 50,000 subscribers are explicitly excluded

 

I can't believe the main antagonist was

So I was reading this post and decided to make the tool described, as a userscript (I credit ChatGPT with doing most of the work, which went pretty quickly). To use it, install a compatible userscript browser extension such as https://violentmonkey.github.io/ , then press install on the linked page. Reddit comments should now have a 'copy-context' button that will put the comment chain in your clipboard. I made it for old.reddit so probably won't work with the redesign. Another limitation is that it will only work to copy what is on the current page, so if the comment chain is too deep it's not going to get all of it.

Any feedback is welcome. Also if someone who can read javascript wants to give it a once-over and confirm for people that it isn't malicious that would be cool too.
