I agree with others, there is no one thing that is going to change your life. You get there via experience. Experiencing the consequences at 30 of something may feel profound despite the fact your parents told you the same thing 100 times as a youth.

My advice is this: Introspection is a super power. The more you take the time to step back and reevaluate all of your actions/assumptions in life, the more you will be able to make meaningful change towards the life you want from NOW.

Also, find purpose outside of your career, find a hobby or cause and find fulfillment there. Corollary, if you are going to have regrets, regret doing something, don't regret not doing it.

Is that really true? We've never seen moons forming elsewhere in the universe?
How on earth can „proprietary software“ with „AI“ in it be admitted as evidence in court ?
Are there any third party studies conducted, to test the error rate of the system ?
What’s the algorithm actually doing and what gets annotated by humans?

„Move fast and break things“ shouldn’t be the motto when jailing people. This might be pseudoscience payed with tax money!

> modern cars are full of tech because that's what market demands. Can we expect the trend to reverse at some point?

No, they are nice to haves. anyone who is looking to save money on a car will buy a used car with those features because they get the cheaper price and the features.
Yes, they have the ability, but they found a way NOT to do that. Instead maintaining user privacy. And the world hates them for it, and would prefer they just unencrypted and scanned everything… doesn’t make sense.
The nightmarish results of agricultural subsidies in the US is an excellent reason to not involve the government in the chip shortage.
Aside from the engineering challenges, is there even enough raw material in the solar system to build a sphere around the sun?

This allows compilers to optimize by reordering code before/after a loop. Without this, the compiler would only be allowed to move code around the loop if it could prove the loop terminates. By contrast, with this UB, the compiler is allowed to do this move if the loop is not doing IO or accessing volatile memory locations.

I'd also note that this particular footgun only exists in C++, the C standard allows loops that never terminate and never do IO or volatile memory access.
My understanding is the main benefit is reduced energy consumption because of low wind resistance. Otherwise it would be your "average" high speed rail.
Do you have to pay Apple yearly and obey Apples rules in order to get an enterprise license?

Yes you do. It's $299/year and you have to be a company of a certain size and you need a D & B number.

It's the same deal that everybody gets. As a consumer if I wanted to pay Apple $100 per year, I could put my own apps on my phone too... but Apple can revoke my license to do that at any time for any reason.
This is a pretty axiomatic view that governments can never be as responsive or as efficient as markets. The more commonly accepted economic wisdom is that they are usually less efficient and responsive than free market forces operating under ideal conditions. There is a lot of room for market failures, inefficiencies and temporal dynamics to change the balance. The are plenty of examples of government regulatory bodies that have a nice anchoring effect on the relevant markets. The Federal Reserve Bank, for example, responds quickly to changing market conditions, looks at the data and intervenes at a speed that keeps pace with the rapidly fluctuating market it regulates.
For now, it looks like blocking all cookies on Twitter solves this problem.
I do think variances in reporting are some of it. I have some visualization skills and wouldn't claim to be "aphantasic", but on the flip side, there is an enormous dividing line between real-world images and these imagined images. While awake I would never confuse the two.

I also suspect a lot of people are massively overreporting the quality of their images. It's very easy to imagine something and think you understand it, until asked to produce something based on it. This isn't just limited to mental images, it's the source of the "why don't you 'just'..." questions, and comes up all the time in building, engineering, artistic endeavors, etc. Your brain is easily convinced it has a thought with more detail than it actually has. I really only trust people who have taken a lot of time to train the relevant system if they claim they have these things. For instance, I really can design some somewhat non-trivial programs in my head... but I've been doing this for ~25 years, and only recently would I say I'm getting to the point where these designs are sometimes good enough that they're not taking serious body blows betwixt conceptualization and realization.
Cars tend to diminish quality of life. Local, walkable and cyclable neighbourhoods on the other hand enable people to flourish. When people have to travel by vehicle, trains and trams are superior to cars.
What about minimal frameworks such as Vue.js? It is implemented on vanilla JS.
Kessler syndrome is still limited to a range of orbits. Very low earth orbit everything simply de orbits so fast it’s not a significant issue.

Geosynchronous orbit is quite packed, but everything is moving in the same direction which prevents the kind of exponential cascade that’s so concerning. Above geosynchronous orbit’s graveyard stays clear simply because little has the energy to reach that altitude.
But to what extent will it be inaccurate? It seems unlikely to me that anything used for machining hard materials can be 100% rock-steady. Presumably, industrial machine are simply inaccurate to very small, tolerable degrees.
Here's what I've learned: there is zero chance of the world uniting behind any cause. The solution to any of these problems will be economic and out of necessity and never because of altruism.

Want to reduce fossil fuel usage? It'll only happen when cleaner alternatives are cheaper.

Climate change? Nothing will change here until there's an economic reason for carbon sequestration.

This may seem depressing but there's an important lesson here: any sense of urgency is almost always overblown. Things really do have a way of resolving themselves.

Oh and as for space debris, yes it's a problem but space is also really big. Like the US also put a bunch of copper up in space [1] that's still there.

How could this resolve itself? It'll end up resolving itself when launch costs are sufficiently cheap. We've made a ton of progress in the last few decades. IIRC SpaceX cost of getting payloads into LEO is like 20x cheaper than 20 years ago but it's still north of $1000/kg.

But what does the situation look like when the cost gets below $10/kg? That's not as unrealistic as you may think. A lot of attention is given to space elevators. I think these are likely infeasible (eg they rely on discovering a sufficiently strong material that doesn't exist yet).

But orbital rings [2]? These require no magical material and would be completely game-changing. If you have something like that just hang things off them to pick up passing space debris.

I agree, the voice detracts from the experience -- but perhaps this was the best they could do under the circumstances. We don't know how good their command of the English language is, maybe they can't even tell how bad it is. Or maybe they're just of the Tik Tok generation and this jarring awfulness seems normal :)
You can auto generate believable fake news with it.
This will be a tricky one solve.
Will the car price starts to increase due to the chip shortage?
The article is absolutely perfect for its audience, which is the smirking, early-20s Internet user of 10 years ago that read Cracked, or Maddox and spent their time on Digg and Reddit. You know the type.

I remember the impact it had when it came out. It was the reality check that a lot of people in that age range needed, especially new college graduates. This was the era of the "jobless recovery" of post-2008, when S&P500 was going up but underemployment was very high. You have to learn to drop a lot of ego when your fancy degree has you working at the same Starbucks as a kid straight out of high school.
He probably means no digital instrument cluster, which isn't necessary for a rear view camera. Most lower-end vehicles put a dedicated screen in the mirror for the rear view camera.
It shouldn't because this was always possible if someone really cared to just run their own public server with a /dig endpoint. If web security depends on websites not having access to public data that could always be proxied to it then we're already screwed.
I had the exact upgrade path as you, except that my 286 12mhz was on an accelerator board inside my 4.77 MHz 8088 equipped IBM XT. So I got to be wowed by huge upgrades twice!

The 386 40 was my first "homebuilt" before I had ever heard the term.
save hundreds of lives, would you?

Sure, why not.

But let me ask some questions,
because at this point I am not sure
if people want Apple's system to be robust or jammable.
If our fear is that Apple will tune the system to
detect pictures of two men kissing,
wouldn't an easily jammable system works in our favor
because we can DDoS it or threaten to do so anytime we want?
I jumped straight to the Conclusion expecting to find... a conclusion.

Where the Gay Things Are
Last time I checked, I'm a human being who is hardwired to understand these social cues. They're essential for having a conversation in any way that isn't just exhausting for me. It's not a lack of trust. My monkey brain just struggles to parse remotely held conversations.
Whether or not an active attack is much more difficult than a passive one depends on the specific security profile of the entire service. Often a passive data-exfiltrating attack will become possible due to an innocent mis-configuration on the server, but mis-configuration can open the door to active attacks as well. There is no guarantee that any mistake in configuration will only allow passive attacks or that an attacker will choose to just "go away" after retrieving all of your files.

With this system, specifically, active attacks will be quite rewarding to any potential attacker because secrets are saved indefinitely and every user-key they steal will allow the recovery of multiple secrets. Since the rewards are high you should expect the chances of active attack to be heightened.

In order to mitigate against this you need the enduser to be able to verify the proper functioning of the encryption/decryption apparatus. Usually this is accomplished with separate binaries, checksums, reproducible builds, and etc. Of course any solution will be vulnerable during updates of the encryption/decryption endpoints, often an out-of-band channel is used to transfer the update or the verification checksum.

These challenges are particularly fraught when attempting to implement a secure system using in-browser javascript. Not only is the entire encryption/decryption algorithm redistributed frequently, regardless of whether or not it has changed, but the tooling around authentication and validation of browser-resident javascript is currently very weak. In addition to compromise of the server, the system is still vulnerable to local attacks as well as a whole host of in-transit attacks that more static e2e systems don't have to worry about (e.g. someone forgets to enable https, or happens to connect through a suss proxy).

Perhaps some sort of javascript pinning could help to alleviate some of the threat-surface, but to my knowledge no major browsers support anything like that.
One science fiction thought is that inducing Kessler Syndrome on Earth would be a perfect way for a Moon or Mars colony to "declare independence".

If Earthlings can't get off the planet, it doesn't matter how much money, people and power they have.
Any thread with FAANG in the title always brings out the weirdest insecurities. Maybe it's because emotionally stable people don't optimize their life and identity around which megacorp buys their time from them.
Coercing credentials out of a user is phishing. I was wrong in that it may not be technically illegal, but are we really going to dispute if phishing is acceptable behaviour for a company to participate in?
I see a lot of negative sentiment in the comments, but looking forward to a real-life demo of this. Whether it's for work or not, pushing this kind of technology forward is the first step of the VR/AR future we've envisioned.

I don't know if such kind of collaboration would work in actuality, but I'm rooting for it. Sometimes the applications for the technology are realized after that technology becomes more fully realized.
One use case would be if and end-user wanted the files encrypted in a way that the systems admin can't see the content. This is the model NextCloud uses.

But what does he drive now? If the truck was just a toy that didn't need replaced, then good for him. But that's not the case for the majority of people.
There was an unparalleled global knee-jerk and the sort of global coordinated economic reorganisation we've never seen before in the entirety of history. The politics of the situation are still roiling under tensions and stresses that haven't been seen in decades. A vaccine has been rolled out roughly a quarter of the worlds population in 18 months. Vastly more efforts are hurtling through the economic system as humanity reorients its social and technological bearings. Never before has there been such a bleak future for the humble coronavirus.

The situation is neither pro- nor anti- our ability to organise at a mass level. This has been a remarkable 2 years to be alive and we've seen a level of urgent response that has never been achieved before, ever. With 3 years to prepare, anything is possible for this Kessler business.
ADHD sufferer here, taking notes is ESSENTIAL.

I don't have a system though, just a series of OneNote notebooks that I organize when I can get to it.
UB was standardized in C99 and optimizers started really going after it maybe 5-10 years after that. There was a wide spread push to make the issue more widely known 8 years ago-ish if I recall correctly and most people still don’t fully understand it. I wouldn’t say it’s “new information”, but it’s certainly relatively new in the overall lifetime of the language (ie even a lot of C99 code from that era is malformed on today’s compilers).

I understand the basic concept of UB but some of the rules can have nuance and be easy to run afoul of. If you’re not running UBSAN on non-trivial codebases (lots of LOC and/or multiple devs), you are likely to have UB. Same goes for ASAN and TSAN issues. I always have humility around this topic as I’m not a compiler author. Heck, the compiler authors I’ve worked with themselves know the knives are sharp and work with humility.
Except the pandemic shows us that we can. It's not perfect but it was at least a good effort in terms of global cooperation. Bar a few outliers.
Capped but still present. So a smaller tax, but still tax.

Hey HN,

OP here, I built this so I could save some money running CI builds for my projects on GitHub and GitLab. Generally you can self-host your runners with multipass/vagrant/virtualbox but it was a little tedious for me to do locally and forget about so I built a service with the purpose of setting and forgetting it. I think there's a big gulf between the cost of rented hardware and what these platforms charge so this is my attempt at entering that market a little bit.

Support for on-demand runners is in the works, along with other platforms which support external runners (Bitbucket, Azure pipelines). If you've got some use case (ex. Bazel) that you absolutely need before even considering this service, I'd love to hear about it.

Also, if you know of any F/OSS projects that are suffering from large CI bills, please send them to me (admin@surplusci.com) and I'll chase them down and force them to save some money (assuming I can save them some) -- this project is built on F/OSS and I'd love to pay it forward. Absolutely willing to go above and beyond on discounts for the right project(s) (e.g. magit) -- though obviously there's a limit to my wallet!

I wonder if they looked into using https://github.com/asaaki/cmark.ex which is an already made Markdown Elixir NIF written in C. No glue code needed since the package already exists.

Back when I was writing Elixir, it's what I used to process Markdown and it was also substantially faster than the native Elixir Markdown library (Earmark).
What makes you think mansplaining didn't exist in the 14th century? I'd expect it to be /more/ prevalent than today.
In that way - one could argue they "manage the logistics business" - but that they don't actually want to do the logistics (or own the inventory/warehouses).
Correct. The ability to infer this from observational data was only possible with the technique pioneered in this paper.

Remember that we cannot even see exo-planets visually (with one or two very nearby exceptions).
Because social media site algorithms feed on "engagement", people interacting with your content rewards you in the form of your content becoming more visible to others, which results in more engagement, which spreads it further, etc etc etc. This is how something "goes viral".

Sending people away from your content on the social media site to view it somewhere else results in less interactions with the social media content -- there's not 20 tweets all of which can be replied to, liked, retweeted, etc, there's just one tweet (and a blog post that the social media site can't see).

Thus, giving people less things to interact with means that you'll receive less rewards. This is the "punishment".
In addition, breakdowns were a much more regular occurrence. It wasn’t unheard of for brakes to fail without warning. I hate computer-laden cars quite a bit, but as you say, cars have become much more reliable than they ever were in the past. (Written while parked in a 17 year old Toyota.)
Siri a few years into the future: Dave I noticed that when you sent your last tex message my AI determined with a 99% probability that you were driving.

Hi Dave i’ve been noticing that you have been discussing Covid vaccines with your friends. Apple thinks your position on this causes public harm so we will be adding additional information to each of your messages that discuss this subject. Thank you for being part of our team.
Cars are only diminish quality of life when there are too many in a given area. For every person along the way though a car is a greater improvement than no car. Sure each one harms the overall quality of life, but the individual is better off.
Me and most of my friends had credit cards when we were in grad school. Amex had that student blue card issued. Most of my cohort used that card to build credit and move on to better cards. Universities also have a student union which issues credit card to students. Is this not the target market for this card?
> The alternative is just doing what you always do on every project: run "git init" and occasionally do a "git add -i && git commit".

Or I just let my backup software handle it. Automated daily backup supplemented with manually initiated backup if I need a specific point-in-time snapshot.

This isn't rocket science.
Now that the effects have been felt, yes. But not a few decades ago when the majority were enjoying cheaper goods. Even now, I do not see broad support for tariffs in order to bring production back to the country.
But this still doesn't take away your need as webdev to specify the exact sizes for different screen/container dimensions and aspect ratios. The only difference is you don't have to generate several images and clutter your directories.
The first computer I built myself was a 386 SX/33 with 4 megs of RAM and VGA (I think). I couldn't afford a hard drive at first because I was a kid, so all i had was a 3.5 inch floppy drive. Had to buy a hard drive later, and if I had to guess, it was an 80 megabyte one. In the mean time, I could use a RAM drive.

Computer Shopper was such an amazing magazine to go through, and I would always try and find the best deal from the systems advertised, not that I had any real money. Usually it was from the ads in the back, not the big pretty Gateway ads in the front.
It's outright depressing that we have to fight back example by example to show that Codex and similar scams are nowhere near able to imitate the ability of a programmer to code something correctly.

There is a weekly XR developers meetup int SpatialApe [1] each Thursday and I have been attending it every week since back in September.

I have never met a single one of them in person and almost no one in a video call and yet their avatars feel like a person I know to me.

The technology has a lot of limitations, no questions about that, and with Covid as an accelerator none of those virtual meeting spaces would have had the growth they had, but the technology is moving fast and even the - admittedly - limited experience we have now does bring a lot of value to my and probably my colleagues as well.

That's assuming you have the cash-flow to float the new loan. If you bought the home 5+ years ago, that might be true, but for anybody who bought recently, that's probably not an option.

Well-intentioned program, but ultimately unforeseeable bad consequences in other areas.

Good for Apple for stopping, and good for society to pressure them to stop. Seems like a win-win all around.
Whenever a company releases a report like this it should be treated as marketing copy. I'm sure it's "true" in the sense that the data matches the report, but the relevant metrics and methodology was chosen such that the result reflects well on Facebook - otherwise this would not have been released.

The first sentence of the overview gives away the game:

> Transparency is an important part of everything we do at Facebook.

This is a marketing statement, not a statement of fact.
