My semi-conspiracy theory is that the success of Rust is partially due to BigTech companies searching for a "legally-safe" alternative to Java.

The multi-year Google vs Oracle lawsuit put the likes of Amazon and Facebook to unease. And meanwhile there was this safe and performant language with no strings attached under a nice Apache license. They quickly made a Foundation around it as a 501(c)(6) - trade association, and not a "public good"-kind of a non-profit. This essentially means that as long as you're a member and pay the fees you won't be sued - exactly what all these companies wanted. So now they all keep up the funding and employ some of the compiler developers to keep the lights on for next 20 years or longer.

The fact that the language itself is really good for what they need it for is obviously the major reason why they support it, but the legal side of things definitely helped with adoption.

There are no jobs. I'm being stalked and fucked with in San Francisco. Constantly. Everyone here is insane and most people are sick. Life is pointless. I'm just waking up and doing something and then going to sleep in a shelter again.

They give me sick to their kids as some sort of sick joke and wait for me to die. I had someone put fentanyl in the coffee they served at de haro church while I was lugging fifty pound bags of potatoes to give to the poor. Cool way to fuck up someone's back. Because they're insane and murderous. It's like that shit everywhere unless you have money and can hire private security or a group of you and your friends have a secret way to poison people.

I've asked construction workers if I can do shift labor for cash and they always say no. Fucking bonkers. I hurt all over more or less all of the time. There are people that have had their entire bodies melt from disease from being exposed to weaponized sick here.

There's absolutely no point in giving a shit about anything anymore. I'm just waiting to die truth be told.

> How are you proposing we assess the progress of the FSD team?

...any metric you want? Miles driven under FSD. Miles driven without intervention. Miles driven without accident. Anecdata from friends of yours who own a Tesla. Whether or not a partially supervised pilot program has been launched in some cities.

If Elon Musk said in 1999 "I think we will achieve self-driving next year", that also has no bearing on whether or not self-driving is achieved in 2025 (in either the positive or negative direction). It only means that Elon Musk's "predictions" can't be trusted as an accurate harbinger of success. Which is precisely why you look beyond his words and at the reality on the ground, which strongly indicates Tesla has made a huge amount of progress in the last 10 years, and could be very close to having unsupervised robotaxi service in various jurisdictions.

Not so much "lies" as "a people having a genocide committed against them does not make them constitutionally incapable of ever committing one themselves in the future." For several reasons, including that it was different people (only 7% of Holocaust survivors are still alive) and that 'nation,' as a conceptual construct, still carries the same weaknesses that it did when a relatively few voices in Germany used that construct to rally the masses to commit atrocities against their own citizens (and the people in their temporarily-conquered territory) for being 'the wrong kind' of people.

"It's not wrong when we're doing it" is an old, old failing of human empathy and sense of justice.

To add to this, we strongly believe that a flowchart type builder quickly hits the ceiling on the type of assistants you could build with it. And this has do with the fact that many real world tasks don't have a well defined flow to them. This is especially true if there is a human on the other side like in customer support - something n8n is clearly not meant for.

None of my clients can pay me for my work in bitcoin without first turning real money into bitcoin, with fees involved. I can't pay my rent with bitcoin without turning it into real money, with fees involved. I can't go to the market and buy food with bitcoin. I can't see someone begging outside Walgreens and help them out with some bitcoin. Bitcoin's also volatile enough that there's a significant risk of its value dropping on the floor between the time I receive it and try to use it. It's a fine Ponzi scam but it's utterly useless for replacing USD.

Maybe you live somewhere that your landlord takes bitcoin, that's nice for you, my landlord wants USD. If you would like to fund me finding out if my landlord will actually take bitcoin if I ask nicely enough then please feel free to send a couple bitcoins to 3CzUW828J2u5wCB2xD4iE9kH8dPTokjxow.

Do you have any sources on them being a successful product by any measurable standard? I honestly wasn't aware that they were even being sold, and I'm sure I don't know anyone that owns a pair. I'm not exactly their target market, but I think at least some in my social circle are.

I'm actually somewhat interested to see something like this hit mainstream. Like smartphone-levels of mainstream. Because one of the first apps for it will likely be one that looks at people's faces and immediately digs up everything about them available online. There's already been videos of it working with older tech, so I'm sure it'll work even better now with newer hardware and AI.

Anyway, once it goes mainstream and people see what we've done to ourselves, maybe it will open people's eyes and we'll start fighting for our privacy again.

The primary point of distinction that allows AI generation to be inferred appears to be that the code is clean and well-structured. (Leave aside for a moment the oddity that this is all machines whose primary benchmarks are human-generated code written in a style that is now deemed too perfect to have been written by people.)

Does that provide an incentive for people writing manually to write worse code, structured badly, as proof that they didn't use AI to generate their code?

Is there now a disincentive for writing good code with good comments?

Hello,

Lineage as of now is build within each indicator. You have to select for each indicator what are the main sources for it (either indicator or whole node). Did you struggle in terms of interface, lineage computation (server side), or any other topic ? I think I should rework the way table node are made, and how users can define proper lineages within their canvas. If you have any suggestion :)

I'll also work to provide user a way to go back to the home page. If you have any feedback on how I could improve the marketing, I would welcome them with gratitude.

I looked up some screenshots of the ChatGPT desktop program, it doesn't look anything like the screenshot in this post unless there's some other search mode that nobody's taken a screenshot of. I think it's more likely that Google copied both the UI look and the shortcut from Apple Spotlight, which you activate with Cmd+Space (Alt+Space on a PC layout keyboard).

The protection from the vaccines lasts (probably) a lifetime, and HPV is quite widespread because it is: very easily communicable, and infections linger for potentially long periods of time without any obvious symptoms

Something like 80% of people are sexually active at all will be infected with HPV at some point. You may not have been sexually active, but your future partners may have been. I personally have a friend who went through stage 4 cancer contracted from her (now ex) husband.

So, of course not literally everyone needs to take it, assess your own risks, but it's quite an easy, highly effective vaccine: don't overthink it.

AMEX fraud support group called me. A real live agent.

Capital One texts codes during live calls and requests the customer read the code to them.

A health care provider sends emails with links to 3rd party domain to provide encrypted email, because a) regular email isn’t supposedly not HIPAA compliant and b) apparently the health care provider’s web and app infrastructure which provides secure messaging is not secure enough for certain messages. It’s indistinguishable from a phishing attack.

Hospital direct invoicing by email, also includes 3rd party links, which takes the user to a site asking for personal information including SSN. It’s certainly phishing. Right? Nope, it’s legit, and no option to get a mailed bill once volunteering an email address.

I think half of mobile device users don’t know or can’t handle a best practices workflow.

The reality is the tech industry sucks, it’s bad at its job, gives shitty advice to everyone then goes and violates all of it leading to loss of trust.

i'm comfortable enough including the backend process of assembling strings that appear to be words in the general description of "assembling words".

re: average - that's at a character level, not the string level or the conceptual level that these tools essentially emulate. basically nobody would interpret "eeee ee eeeeee eee eeeeeeee eee ee" as any type of recognizable organized communication (besides dolphins).

Yes.

“The route of HPV transmission is primarily through skin-to-skin or skin-to-mucosa contact. Sexual transmission is the most documented, but there have been studies suggesting non-sexual courses.

The horizontal transfer of HPV includes fomites, fingers, and mouth, skin contact (other than sexual). Self-inoculation is described in studies as a potential HPV transmission route, as it was certified in female virgins, and in children with genital warts (low-risk HPV) without a personal history of sexual abuse. Vertical transmission from mother to child is another HPV transfer course” [1].

Noctua fans are quieter than most for a given airflow level.

They have a range of fan speeds going up to very high speeds.

Many people doing modifications will substitute a lower airflow fan for even more noise reduction, which might be why you’re thinking they flow less. That’s a function of fan choice, though.

Noctua fans perform very well on a noise-adjusted basis.

Google was late to search, late to smartphones, late to internet email. I'm having a hard time thinking of any of their large markets where they were a first mover, maybe YouTube-ish, widespread user uploaded internet video wasn't meaningfully available before the rise of YouTube.

On topic, Waymo is clearly a first mover in self-driving, having the first legal commercial services.

But, being the first mover is usually more of a disadvantage than an advantage, IMHO.

I've worked in companies that do this internally, e.g., managed pull-through caches implemented via tools like Artifactory, or home-grown "trusted supply chain" automation, i.e., policy enforcement during CI/CD prior to actually consuming a third-party dependency.

But what you describe is an interesting idea I hadn't encountered before! I assume such a thing would have lower adoption within a relatively fast-moving ecosystem like Node.js though.

The closest thing I can think of (and this isn't strictly what you described) is reliance on dependabot, snyk, CodeQL, etc which if anything probably contributes to change management fatigue that erodes careful review.

No offense, but maybe they're narcan-ing you because you because you're nodding out in public?

I am not doubting you have been fucked with -- I once got into a 2v1 brawl on the Mission and 16th BART that only ended because I sent one flying into a pillar and told the other if he kept coming, he was going onto the fucking tracks.These guys kept going over to a homeless guy who was just... sitting there... trying to get a rise, hoping for an excuse to "defend" themselves. And when I told them to quit being bullies, they tried to jump me.

So trust me, I believe you, and I get that trauma can have an impact on your life.

But if you are using narcotics, it will impact your search.

If you want help getting clean, I could send some resources to the email on your profile -- on the technical side you sound like a better coder than me and if you had that part locked down I suspect you'd quickly find work.

Usually Elon's technical flaws aren't on display, or at least he covers them well. For example while it's true FSD hasn't worked out, but I don't know you could say at the time "most competent AI devs knew it wouldn't work out". However, when Elon attempted to move PayPal from Linux to Windows, most competent software engineers would have advised against it. Paypal isn't an example of Elon's genius in action - it's the opposite.

> Lets say your name is alex and you share the computer with tony. Both of you have folders called "My Pictures". That "My" is simply false if you look at the files in Tonys directory. The conceptually much better solution is to take the parent folder into account. In Linux that usually means /home/alex/pictures and /home/tony/pictures

I haven't used Windows in a long time, but, at least back in the 95 days, "My Pictures" wasn't the name of the folder; the name was (IIRC) just "Pictures", but Explorer displayed it as "My Pictures" when you were in your home directory, making it just an additional affordance over the structure you indicate. So Alex wouldn't see it for Tony's "Pictures" folder.

While you do have points that these UN bodies do seem to sleep more often than not, one should never, under any circumstance attempt to suggest that what's happening in Gaza aren't crimes against humanity.

A friend of mine is in the Red Cross staff, they had more than 20 casualties since 2021 in Palestine. Their staff was literally shot at because they were doctors.

> Trains still don't solve last mile transport for most people

This has not been my experience since moving to Manhattan last January. Subways, alone, close the gap between regional rail and most destinations astoundingly well. I haven't yet needed to use a bus (but they seem abundant, too), and I haven't even thought of taking a taxi yet.

Here, robust transit has solved the last mile problem for most people.

Generally you have the right of it, but a word of caution for Pythonistas:

> The point is still different. In PyPI, if I put `requests` in my requirements.txt, and I run `pip install -r requirements.txt` every time I do `make build`, I will still only get one version of requests - the latest available the first time I installed it.

Only because your `make build` is a custom process that doesn't use build isolation and relies on manually invoking pip in an existing environment.

Ecosystem standard build tools (including pip itself, using `pip wheel` — which really isn't meant for distribution, but some people seem to use it anyway) default to setting up a new virtual environment to build your code (and also for each transitive dependency that requires building — to make sure that your dependencies' build tools aren't mutually incompatible, or broken by other things in the envrionment). They will read `requests` from `[project.dependencies]` in your pyproject.toml file and dump the latest version in that new environment, unless you use tool-specific configuration (or of course a better specification in pyproject.toml) to prevent that. And if your dependencies were only available as sdists, the build tool would even automatically, recursively attempt to build those, potentially running arbitrary code from the package in the process.

Not everyone is charging by the minute, we're looking at a flat fee based on the call intent / type, for example in Property management: Call to Tour / Schedule Showing – prospective tenant wants to view a unit

New Lease / Application – questions or starting an application

Maintenance Request – routine repairs, appliance issues, etc.

Emergency Maintenance – urgent (water leak, lock-out, etc.)

Billing / Payment – rent, deposits, fees

Lease Renewal / Move-Out – renewals, move-out scheduling

General Inquiry – community info, pet policy, amenities

Not from a the malicious branch.

By hypothesis the code only deploys from code committed to the main branch (or whatever the blessed branch for CI is). To create a GitHub Action that can deploy the code, the package maintainer must first manually approve and merge the malicious commit.

And the malware spreads by publishing new versions of NPM packages using credentials on the package owner's development machine. If the package owner didn't have credentials with publish access, this wouldn't spread like a worm. And if they had reproducible builds they wouldn't pull a new version of their dependencies from NPM at build time because they'd have to have pinned specific versions with specific hashes to get reproducibility.

Under these hypotheses it can spread, but only if the package owner manually pins a malicious version or manually approves a malicious commit.

What I said is even true in the US - employers have payroll and other compliance obligations such as their portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes, unemployment insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, sometimes a state-specific requirement for short-term disability insurance, and often more. Plus health insurance and paid time off are usually part of the package for employees at least in the tech world, and COBRA rights exist after losing the job. Plus unionization rights too.

For independent contractors, all of those things are either fully the responsibility of the contractor (such as the Social Security and Medicare taxes) or absent entirely (such as the unionization rights). Whether that’s legal even in the US depends on whether the relationship is misclassified employment or true independent contracting. (These are among several reasons why true independent contractors charge much higher rates than people who just acquiesce to employer misclassification.) The IRS has a many-factor test based on the common law and is absolutely willing to hear reports of alleged misclassification. So are many state and local government agencies.

BSD jails were no harder to automate than Docker; setup many ci/cd pipelines into jails in the 00s for a variety of applications.

They're way closer to the usual "Unix" tool feel too. Docker feels 100% like an attempt to get rich by engineering a monolith rather than be a few helper C tools. Docker was so annoying to learn.

Fortunately with the end of ZIRP and SaaS deflation (in real user terms, not fake investment to project we still live in the 2010s heyday), software engineers are focused on engineering more than hype generation. Am excited about energy based models, capture of electromagnetic geometry of the machine as it runs programs.

60s style lexical state management systems dragged forward in time because of social momentum have little to do with engineering. Are hardly high tech in 2025.

Literally got something similar to this last Friday. Sounded legit. My one weird trick that works every time - give me a ticket # and an official phone number to call back to and I can confirm the phone number is legit. This way you can continue the conversation if it is actually legit, and if it's not legit then all good.

The guy who called me said "I can send you an email to show it's official" and I thought of that immediately when I read this article. No dice, he refused to give me a number to call back on, so I knew it was fake.

EDIT You can spoof from email addresses and you can spoof phone numbers - if someone is calling from a legit number on caller id it means NOTHING. You have to call back to a legit number to be sure it's real.

> Other vaccines, for example DTP, have been shown to cause higher long term mortality rate

Sure. This one hasn’t.

That said, I frankly think people should be free to vaccinate as they please, and cities, states and private businesses free to include and exclude folks based on vaccination status as they please. (I’m also in favor of letting insurance companies choose if they want to cover diseases someone chose to get by going unvaccinated.)

The problem is that there is a massive power imbalance in the conflict and insisting on "both sides" without acknowledging that is itself muddying the waters.

Accusations of "one-sidedness" for everything that doesn't follow the Israeli narrative of the conflict has been a standard defense for decades, last employed against the two-states UN resolution.

That's why I find (naive) insistence on seeing "both sides" problematic in this conflict. By all means, do see both sides, but see them with their respective amounts of power and historical context.

Cloud sync is not out of one's control, and complaining that Gmail did not automatically detect the spoofed address is an inversion of assumption. It's like dropping your icecream and then being mad nobody caught it for you.

Is the average user (someone who "works in tech" even!) really so uninvolved in their own security? Are they not expected to hold any responsibility whatsoever?
