All of the alternatives that can actually happen involve handing over full control of the system to one company, and thereby eliminating email's major remaining value, which is that it is a thing not controlled by one company.

The technical problems are challenging but solvable. The human problems are not. Nobody with the resources to truly solve the problem is willing to do it to create an open platform where they don't get effectively all the money and control, but then, the rest of the world is not terribly willing to let them have all the money.

Hence the impasse we are at.

This is the problem you have to solve, not a technical one.

(See also "why the metaverse where we do things like share avatars across all services is a stupid idea that will effectively never happen". It writes well in a novel, but in practice it requires World of Warcraft to accept that someone can run around in it as Mickey Mouse while wielding a Call-of-Duty-branded sniper rifle, and none of the relevant rights holders will ever agree to that, for all kinds of reasons. The technical problems are also formidable but they are nothing next to the fact nobody will ever agree to this.)

then give us better tools! :) Most of the sims require (at least?) registration with the IAEA: https://www.iaea.org/topics/nuclear-power-reactors/nuclear-r... (I want that Micro-Physics Nuclear Reactor Simulator)

Then there's this https://dalton-nrs.manchester.ac.uk/ but it's down for "maintenance" (a web site - can you imagine?!)

I found this interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59hVaIjxMIM but people say it does no longer work on recent Windows version. Also I don't like to install random binaries from Mega or similar.

In the end a realistic reactor simulation would probably to complicated for the layman, anyway.

> Upon opening Tea, users are presented with local men whose photos have been uploaded, along with their first names. For each of the men, other women on the app can report whether they deem him a “red flag” or a “green flag” and leave comments about him, such as those recounting negative date experiences or vouching for him as a friend.

The potential problems with this seems obvious…

People on the internet love to judge, gossip and people who know nothing are happy to pile on and spread rumors.

Just the ability to post photos reminds me of the old creepy “fashion” subreddits that clearly were not about fashion…

AFAIK many phones store the fingerprints on-chip. I haven't looked too deeply into it, though, so it's possible there's a brand out there that streams fingerprint information as a video.

On Android, there are different levels of biometrics: https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/biometric If your fingerprint scanner reports Class 3/STRONG, hardware key stores are a requirement. Anything Class 2/WEAK or higher is supposed to make sure a kernel compromise cannot leak keys/authenticate to the OS. If it's Class 1/CONVENIENCE, simply running the biometrics in the trusted execution environment (think "secure VM acting as TPM") is also permitted.

On iOS the TPM/secure element deals with credentials, they're not submitted to the CPU.

TLDR:

Google allows you set input long paragraphs and URLs into a field called "App name" and they then send you an email with the paragraph you entered in (malicious with phishing links) to your inbox. Since this is sent by Google, it's DKIM signed and passes DMARC so you can simply download the entire email and just send it as a raw email to other people and it'll continue to be signed and land in their inboxes.

The other thing is that with these we cannot change the "To" header in the email (not envelope TO (which is where email is delivered to) but rather what shows up in the "To" when the client renders the email) and so the attacker bought a domain that looks like it's google owned "(rand)goog-ssl.com". When looking at emails in your inbox ensure that the "To" is always valid along with the "From".

shops like these are obvious fronts for money laundering. Anyone who walks down Oxford street and sees all the sweet shops will know what i'm talking about. Another example is how, apparently the number of barbers in the uk has doubled in the last 10 years. The authorities are being staggeringly incompetent in dealing with it. Maybe they can't, or maybe they don't want to because these shops are keeping the high street from dying (just to be clear that's not a good excuse).

This fits in to a wider pattern of authorities in the uk taking no meaningful action against the people who bring over illegal migrants over the channel, and against grey market companies who block book all the driving tests in the entire country and probably in many other areas.

At least i haven't heard about major benefits fraud. Maybe thanks to Universal Credit, or perhaps i just haven't heard about it.

GIMSO is defined as memory safety without caveats. The only way to get it (currently) in C/C++ is to compile with Fil-C.

You have a good point otherwise, but Go is considered memory safe anyway. And it probably makes sense that it is, since the chances of exploitation due to memory safety issues caused by races in Go are infinitesimal. It’s not at all fair to compare to the exploited-all-the-time issues of C/C++ (when you make the mistake of compiling with something other than Fil-C)

I create music videos which can be provocative, though not necessarily pornographic, and this kind of thing really bothers me since I've run into similar problems even just with hosting and donations. Thankfully, I don't try to make this anything more than a creative outlet, so I don't have to worry about taking payments, and I'm happy enough that any expenses are at least covered by a few donations. But it concerns me that it is not an option for others who might find themselves in similar gray areas.

i am trying todo same with glue-ing mcp servers together and as a bonus try get my CHO rates and overall KCAL for the week with the proposed schedule and all palnned intake based on mets. Analyzing my workouts is something that works great at the moment if the data in is correct. i mostly use intervals.icu for this.

Would love to chip in on the discussion around this topic.

> We collectively agreed long ago that monopolies do not get to enjoy the same freedoms that other companies do.

I think that's generally only the case for natural monopolies, such as power infrastructure, where breaking them up isn't really a feasible solution (ie we don't want 20 different power lines running to each house). I don't think payment processing meets that standard, we could easily break them up and re-introduce competition into the market.

Am I the only one who ignores evals, unless they're holdout datasets like a new IMO competition, or at a minimum evals with a semi-private test set like ARC-AGI 2? How can we trust that these companies don't put copies of these benchmarks in their training data? They can get whatever score they want, up to 100%, easily, by just training on that data sufficiently many times.

Thesaurus: Sure, since you're looking up words but using your own brain to decide whether a word is appropriate or better. Caveat: some authors just throw in words to look smart. Concordedly.

Translator: Only if it's not creative writing and only if the output doesn't need to be accurate / there is margin for error.

Granted, the line is hard to place - see also the other post about where the line for adult content should be. But the thing is, when writing is AI generated, how can you know for sure that all the output was actually read and verified by the author? And text is not that important, but what about code?

The other argument: if an author didn't take the time and effort to write something, why should I take the time and effort to read and understand it? This applies to poorly written content as well. Ironically, a lot of people will already feed this article (and this comment) into an LLM to summarize it, if not to help them form an opinion about it. Summarizing isn't new though, there were tools some years ago to summarize webpages already.

I'm a little confused. There are already rules and laws banning a cisman from going into women's bathrooms. There isn't a law or rules at the location, in many states, stopping trans women from going into women's bathrooms.

Most cismen look like a stereotypical man. Some transwomen look like a stereotypical women which is what makes the situation harder to stop. You could theoretically put a guard at a bathroom and stop most cismen. You would only stop some transwomen.

> considering the fact is you're far more likely to be assaulted in the bathroom by a cis man, transvestigator, republican, Christian, or ICE agent than a transwoman.

I don't think the fork is very different right now, and I doubt inputting addresses works differently.

You might want to try:

- writing the city name at the beginning

- putting the street number at the end

Note that OSM might not have the street number. If it doesn't, searching for it will fail for sure.

You should probably file an issue: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/issues

Also, it's worth reading the wiki page on the group behind this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melinda_Tankard_Reist#Collecti...

To me it doesn't look like this group is so powerful that they forced the payment processors to do stuff. It looks more like, this group campaigns tirelessly, year in, year out, against all kinds of miscellaneous stuff they dislike, and every so often they get a W somewhere because they're more persistent than groups pushing in the other direction.

The loudest thing I have to deal with living in Chicago is the roar of car traffic on Western Ave (at times it hits 80-90dB), fucking leaf blowers, and the shitheads on my block who floor their shitty dirt bikes every once in a while. Motors, usually internal combustion, make up the bulk of my noise floor.

I'd deal with having to hear the neighbors fighting every once in a while vs never having to hear some small-penised individual revving his stupid engine ever again. One way of getting closer to that is building more dense housing cheaper. If we're talking about urban noise floors, start at the real fucking problem.

No, mine has never discharged without intention. I have had it for years and have put thousands of rounds through it. I keep it clean and maintained properly, and the only issue I've ever had with it is some jamming when using crappy FMJ range ammo.

All that being said, I'm not trying to say there is definitely an issue with the P320, but there is enough out there to give me some doubt. Perhaps there will be a fix at some point, but until then it's just not worth it to me.

This also isn't happening with other guns. If you google any other gun brand and the words unintentional discharge, you will still only get results for the P320.

Don't be so quick to discount your experience though; selling enterprise software/SaaS is different to marketing and selling consumer goods/services. Tell us what you learned, about both.

Were all your perfume sales face-to-face, or did you use text, or word-of-mouth? Did you give discounts for referrals? How much did the brand name matter, or not? etc.

Some of the people at the top of YC (e.g Garry Tan) are staunch Zionists. Surprisingly, and refreshingly, it seems PG himself sees through all of the bullshit and consistently asks questions to understand why people have become ok with the murders of innocent children. Although I have spoke about this a couple of times in the past, that too is weighing on myself - have I actually done enough? What use are a few social media comments in the grand scheme of things?

I used to do pretty much nothing outdoors. Running is actually the one I find the most boring and I don't run. I am not even sure I can comfortably run that well anymore with part of my leg and foot being permanently numb after a disc herniation, I never really tried.

But I found that I love all the rest of it. I love cycling and hiking for hours and playing all sorts of sports. In the summer I play pickleball like 3-5 days a week for usually 3 hours at a time at local parks.

I mean I can't stand cycling on a bike in a gym, but go out to local trails and I love it. I think it's the fresh air, the wind rushing past me, the sights and smells and being out in nature that make it all fun for me. Also exploring new places all the time too to hike and bike though are what seem to keep it exciting and interesting for me.

For what it's worth, the Qwen team misreported an ARC-AGI score benchmark on the non-thinking model by a factor of 4, which has not been explained yet. They claimed a score of 41.8% on ARC-AGI 1 [0] which is much higher than what non-chain of thought models have been able to achieve (GPT 4.5 got 10%). The ARC team later benchmarked it at 11%[1], which is still a high score, but not the same as 41.8%. It's still probably a significant update on the model though.

I think it's more that they didn't have the display language to mark those inaccessible parts of the world as "boring", and prevent the player from wanting the walk into that invisible wall in the first place. Or placing the invisible wall 1m infront of a real wall for NO REASON.

While also expecting you to go around searching for hidden goodies nd secret paths.

I swear, the invisible walls are the only thing pushing it to a 9/10 from a 10/10 for me.

Who is this imaginary "historical communist" you mentioned?

You're claiming Mao killing millions with idiotic policies (not to mention all the scapegoats he killed intentionally) was okay because he was "trying"?

Or are you talking about Stalin, Lenin, or Castro?

Who is telling you that you "have to live under constant surveillance" and so on?

You'd rather have someone run the country into the ground while lying to you about than intentions (which you're gullible enough to believe apparently, for better or worse) than not?

I have no idea what is happening in our schools these days, but obviously something is lacking.

Would you celebrate the choice of entering sex work like, say, that of someone entering medicine or law?

“You’d make such a good porn star!”, we could say encouragingly to a new grad considering between OF and Stanford.

No, we wouldn’t, because despite a weird and deliberate normalizing effort in some corners of the Internet, it’s an intrinsically degrading field run by pimps physical or digital now, and an existential history of abuse and degradation.

Do you have a CBOR implementation that you like? Ideally one with decent schema support? I was looking into CBOR as a replacement for Protobufs for an embedded system I work on and it's got a lot going for it but every implementation I looked at seemed to support a very different subset of the schema spec and it was brutal to try to find a pair of libraries (C for the embedded side, C++ for the host side) that could actually share a set of schema files.

> Many don't, otherwise they would not do stuff like using Python for performance workloads.

While you fairly point out that many fall into Python because they learned about it in school and never bother to look beyond, Go has had no such equivalent. For you to choose it, you have to actively seek it out, where you are going to also see all the other programming languages you could also choose.

> As for Go, Kubernetes made it unavoidable, it is like UNIX for C, Web for JavaScript, and so forth.

UNIX's programming interface is a set of C functions. You are right that C is the path of least resistance to use it.

The web's programming interface is Javascript. You are right that Javascript is the path of least resistance to use it.

Kubernetes' programming interface is a "REST API" – or your program running inside a container, if you want to look at it from the other direction. In what way is Go the path of least resistance to use it?

I hoarded mechanical keyboards for years and years (and adapters to use these AT-connector and ADP devices with then-modern machines), and always wondered why people put up with the terrible membrane keyboards of the 90s and aughts. The answer then as now was always the same - the keyboard market is driven by price, and people wanted cheap keyboards.

Today, we all know that wasn't the case, as (often pricy) mechanical keyboards are (thankfully) back in vogue.

It was just lack of availability the whole time.

(Yes, my purchasing decisions are very keyboard-driven.)

I'll just say Domino presents very much as a code first solution. So, if you want staff to be able to make dashboards _without_ code like using Looker Studio, then this isn't it.

The one other big thing that Domino isn't, is it's not a database or data warehouse. You pair it with something like BigQuery or Snowflake or just S3 and it takes a huge amount of the headache of using those things away for the staff you're describing. The best way to understand it is to just look at this page: https://docs.dominodatalab.com/en/cloud/user_guide/fa5f3a/us...

People at my work, myself included, absolutely love this feature. We have an incredibly strict and complex cloud environment and this makes it, so people can skip the setup nonsense and it will just work.

This isn't to say that you can't store data in Domino, it's just not a SQL engine. Another loved feature is their datasets. It's just EFS masquerading as an NFS, but Domino handles permissions and mounting. It's great for non-SQL file storage. https://docs.dominodatalab.com/en/cloud/user_guide/6942ab/us...

So, with those constraints in mind, I'd say it's great for what you're describing. You can deploy apps or API endpoints. You can create on-demand large scale clusters. We have people using Spark, Ray, Dask, and MPI. You can schedule jobs and you can interact with the whole platform programmatically.

> This meant toting hundreds of pounds of equipment — including volatile chemicals, a darkroom tent and fragile glass plates — to wherever they hoped to snap a scene.

I am something of a "photography genealogist" for the family. My father's half-aunt lived to be 103, never had children, and left behind a suitcase stuffed with photos — going back to a tintype of her mother from the 1880's. I was lucky the suitcase was eventually handed over to me.

That started my obsession with collecting all the family photos I could find. And starting with that suitcase, I scanned every photo and embarked on cleaning up and adjusting levels (etc.) for every interesting photo in the lot.

Sometimes a few lines of text on the back or border gave me the date or subject of the photo. Often there was nothing though. Nonetheless, I was slowly able to recognize people in the photos, associate a name to them (from also doing traditional genealogy with Ancestry.com). Stories emerged in some cases (my great grandmother's big road-trip vacation in 1925 after the divorce from her unfaithful husband, the mysterious young woman in the Denver photos that I was eventually able to trace to a teen daughter who died in Mexico, Missouri while away at music school, etc.)

And as I was able to figure out the photos, order them, I got to also see the progress of photography and cameras. The tintype and early collodion photos were all in a studio setting (perhaps a single photography studio in Kansas City in 1880? She was only a young girl, her father a farmer — he must have been putting on airs to have a studio photograph taken of his young daughter).

And then the Kodak Brownie (I assume) makes the scene by 1920 or so for the family and photos start to appear taken in the field, on the farm — no longer in studios. The quality though suffers immensely.

Better Kodaks (or similar) come into the family by the 30's and candid, amatuer photography now rivals the quality of the earlier studio photos. Somewhat.

Suddenly in the 1950's square color photos appear in the collection and the quality is actually some of the worst of all the family photos. So sad that we traded fast lenses and film for color. I am not sure the quality ever quite caught up again to the better B&W until we get to modern digital.

Tap to pay (ie. NFC) with credit cards is as convenient and arguably more convenient than a QR code solution. At the very least you don't have to worry about aiming at the QR code and waiting for it to scan/focus, which is especially important if you're using it on transit systems.

Self hosting reminds me of the world of smartphones just before the advent of the iPhone.

Using a phone as a mini computer was possible. Downloading and using apps happened. I even used offline maps. It was still the preserve of nerds while regular people "couldn't understand why you'd use a phone to do anything other than text and call".

SUDDENLY once it became seamless and trivial to set everything and it was all brought together on a device that was aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic demand rocketed upwards. It turns out that regular people very much wanted a mini computer in their pocket.

This all took me very much by surprise coz almost everything that was revolutionary about the iPhone... I was already doing all of that while it was announced.

I think self hosting is in a similar spot right now. The apps exist (many are extremely nice!), the software exists, but the seamless, aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic experience does not. It's a pain in the ass to set up self hosting.
How do I get better at interviews
by sebzuddas | 2025-07-25 14:01:30+00:00
I'm interviewing a lot of people lately, in the 3 months, my company hired over 40 people and I conduct them alongside my manager. The goal is to grow fast but I keep coming up with the same problems - many of these interviews are not in my technical domain and my manager usually has only a broad understanding. How can I get better at identifying good candidates for roles in which are not linked to my day-to-day (I work as a mechanical engineer).
