Long read but it worth every letter written, well done!

A few bullets..

1. Does the moderators use some form of automation to extract suspicious posts/comments or they go manually scanning all posts with the full threads? I'm just finding it to be extremely difficult to monitor 24/7 manually.

2. It's really an interesting story this "SkySheet" and just heard about it.

3. I believe this article would be of another level if it was recorded as a podcast where we can hear their natural voices in a live discussion.

4. Am I the only one who find it extremely difficult to understand why [some] HNewsers don't and, won't follow the site guidelines, go blind and write whatever will fill this gap in their ego?!
I suspect the next stage will be to admit that it's real and was caused by humans, but argue that it's too late/expensive to do anything about it. (And therefore I don't have to change my behavior.)
No. But a hormone called glucagon is used in some pumps. It puts your liver to produce glucose.
I tried it once and gave up after about six hours. Context switching kills me.
I do, which is how I immediately noticed it was there when I went to the site. I'm just not a big fan of the "I've got mine so screw everyone else" mentality and I'm happy to suggest making simple changes that will improve things for others.
Similar experience on MacBook Pro m1. Sometimes it uses more than 2g ram. Crazy.
The plot of one of my favourite games, Outer Wilds (not to be confused with Outer Worlds), is about being stuck in a solar system where you die (avoiding spoilers intentionally) every 20 minutes and you have to figure out why.

One of my favourite games, the sense of mystery and the high stakes of the plot made it very intriguing to me.
Late blooming (LADA) T1D here.

I think that CGMs are a great quality of life improvement. I have Abbott Freestyle Libre's prescribed by my diabetologist every 3 months, and they work well with Glimp[1] and any android phone with NFC - the app has nice statistics that really correlate with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c - long term sugar level indicator) results from my checkups.
You can (and should) calibrate the CGM results with prick tests in the Glimp app as well.

It takes a long time testing what kind of carbohydrates work the best for you - how high / how fast your blood sugar levels rise, and how long they stay high. You have to keep yourself as close to the ideal range as possible, while are literally trying out every available carb in the pantry.
I've tested all kinds of carbs to find out that potatoes and chickpeas are fine, and that rice is forbidden in my diet. So long kimchi fried rice, I will miss you.

Thank you! Being a parent of a T1D (especially an infant) is also a monumentally stressful task, and your post shows you're doing a great job. Keep up the good work, and please take care of yourself as well.
I recently found this new service called revoldiv.com few months back here on HN and I have been using it to transcribe and edit some of my videos. They are based in US and use AI to process their audio and transcripts. I believe the audio and transcripts are deleted once you close out the browser. It’s the only service that I found so far with that level of capability to transcribe/edit for free and seems safe… at least right now.

I did not go far out... I just described what I thought when I saw the picture of the joke, and that was not the Holocaust, which is not mentioned or suggested. On the other hand, "Budget" is the key word in the joke...

Arstechnica explicitly says that the joke is a reference to the Holocaust and I just don't understand how they can based solely on the tweet.

Hitler goes quite beyond the Holocaust (I think everyone in Europe at least is well aware of that). The joke in fact makes more sense when looking at Hitler's deeds as dictator in general, especially the invasion of most of Europe (I'm assuming Musk knows his History here)...

I think that’s what they where suggesting, however that’s really expensive and hard to implement. If you simply calculate based on the value of the land then a 200 year old house counts as “new” development etc.

Worse it doesn’t actually help. The incentives are there to develop land it’s only local zoning that prevents it.

Do I say "no" if my parents live with me? In other words, I moved out, we all got a lot older, and she had to move in with me, not me moving back in?
I had a very similar setup in my previous apartment. I used a lot of battery-powered Zigbee devices for motion sensors, contact sensors, etc. and attached them using 3M command strips. I also wired up some Zigbee switch modules behind the light switches, so I could control all of the lights in our house. (This was way nicer and cheaper than using Hue bulbs everywhere.) I also had curtain motors, and a SwitchBot Hub to control air conditioners, etc.

Everything was pretty easy to remove and take with me to our next house.
It's not just will and money that are needed. You need competence, actual ability, as well. Otherwise you're just playing at being King Canute while someones get rich.
Thats sort of the opposite of the game just released - Deathloop
This is also a great commentary on the inherit untrustworthiness of for-profit corporations. From a capitalist perspective trading the security of your users for some early commercial advantage like those 1977 algos from the NSA is "worth it," and the cost is unseen (allowing backdoors) and never disclosed to the customer (dishonesty). There's no one watching this, no rules, and people like Nelson Mandela were victimized because of this. Whenever I meet someone who refuses to run secure systems on anything but FOSS, I respect that they accept that capitalism is a failure in this regard, and a huge one at that.

I have no idea what commercial products are secure now, and neither do you. That's a problem.
I'm referring to the skill (luck?) of the criminal. Yes, every once in a while there's going to be the "perfect murder", the "perfect heist", etc.

I read the indictment. They were arrested and charged. We'll see how the defense plays out but from a read of the indictment they made plenty of mistakes and will (likely) end up going to prison given the conviction/plea rate of federal prosecutors.

Once convicted a federal judge can order them to give up the monero (as I said in my original comment). On top of their time in sentencing for the original crime they can be held indefinitely until they comply with the court order.

In the end they'll go to prison and the government will squeeze them for whatever they can get.
You get affordable housing by building more housing not simply designating a percentage of housing to be affordable.

If anything current affordable housing initiatives just make things worse by discouraging new development. Building 10,000 new apartments is strictly better than building 5,000 apartments even if you designate 30% of them to be affordable. The ideal solution is to designate minimum density, so for every acre of land you must have at least X homes.
Unfortunately its the lens many people have been conditioned to see everything through.
Micro nuclear reactors are being built not far from me. I expect nuclear to grow substantially in the US at least in the midwest. My state is already green with many windmills, solar farms, hydro plants. The only thing they have not explored very far yet is geothermal and there is plenty of opportunities for that here too.

That's a good step, but I think in most windowing systems, windows can just take and give focus as they please, so that alone probably wouldn't be too effective.

It's probably a possible problem to solve, but fixing stuff that wasn't build with security in mind from ground up is always tediuos.
There's an undescribable absurdism of this era. People have data, history, sociology, models, medias. You make conferences, reports, warnings, yet the sad prophecy still lands just as remembered.

It's like Hofstadter's law applied to catastrophe.
Yeah it's really frustrating when I read a poorly sourced Wikipedia article and I'm trying to search for other sources on the claims in the article but all I get is clones of the Wikipedia article.
Either testing finds the bugs, or the user finds the bugs.

If the user is a machine, use a machine to test the code. If the user is a human, use a human.

The user does not know or care about unit tests.

The state space of any non-trival algorithm is far greater than can be sensibly enumerated.

Software is design - designing something inside out makes no sense.

From what I've read the dramatic drop your discussing is priced in at about a 7% discount. You can easily see why a 100% loss is unlikely - a fifty year leasehold sells for about 50% of a freehold.
I would love this as well. Finding it really hard to read with everything so wide. But the book does look good!
im not sure how many threads can be pinned, but there isn't an obvious way to highlight these info dense, semi-coherent threads that can just about be read like a long form piece on the subject.

in some ways the idea is almost like zettelkasten for a twitter user. hashtags were derived from zettelkasten note systems, but twitter never encouraged metadata usage to categorize and sustain narratives, or innovative ways to search intelligently across these ideas. the hashtag's functionality was reduced to a viral agent/barometer and soulless corporate actors believed removing spaces from a slogan was the same thing as meaning something.

im pleased with the large proliferation of note-taking and org cms systems today. i think none of them is the answer but the answer wouldn't come about without them or without the experimentation taking place in the space. Being able to easily and accurately collect information across media and various websites and ship/store/recall it all is going to be an incredible shift, but requires replacing almost all the tools we know or only using them as peripherals.
I like this one. I've been playing it a lot the last few days. Is it just me, or is it immensely more difficult than Wordle? I think I only get all 4 correct maybe 25% of the time.

Seems like the solution would be for Apple to blanket ban any service that has this option to break the rules. Go nuclear on the analytics/tracking SDK's so that none of them even allow this to go on.
> Or maybe there are bigger fish to fry and it’s not worth quibbling over small things.

This was my excuse to not be thorough when giving feedback in code review, when I was last in a position to do so, while on the Windows accessibility team at Microsoft. I told myself I was on a mission to make Windows more accessible, and there was no time to delay new features or fixes over inconsequential things like coding style or even code organization, as long as it worked.

Edit: At least I didn't use that excuse when responding to coworkers' reviews of my PRs.
> ...Changing the default fonts is definitely supported.

Not for the GNOME shell, unless you're editing the relevant CSS files in /usr/share/themes or installing themes that do so. And if you do end up doing that, you get to see issues like this

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2331

And I wouldn't be surprised if changing fonts became an unsupported feature in future releases because apparently, it was just a hack and not well supported and didn't really work like themes. Apparently, gnome-tweak-tool is an unsupported tool as well.
Not vacant land vacant housing. For example there is a small apartment complex near me that was bought by an out of state investor. They moved their kids into one unit to keep an eye on the place. The rest of the units they aren't renting out. Why bother dealing with renters when the property value has more than doubled since they bought it?
> Just because I've paid for healthcare my entire life (including bills owed to the hospital) doesn't mean other people should have to

You indicate other people shouldn't have to pay for their healthcare. How were you proposing it be paid? The main options I think of are the ones I mention, either charity or men with guns to enforce payment (taxes) of this charitable endeavor. Unless you are a doctor and you'll be performing this directly for these people.

Of course, it would be incredibly shortsighted and selfish to use violence to enforce ideals of charity.

>no idea what you're responding to.

Now you know. I'm responding to you.
I do TDD in one specific case, and it's always a unit test. Very occasionally I will need to write a function or a small class do some complicated logic that I'm too lazy or stupid to work out how to do. I do know exactly what the results should look like though, including all the possible edge cases.

( I think the last time I did this was for a point of sale terminal I was working on, which needed a solution similar to the change making problem https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem )

Anyway, for those situations, I write a large number of tests cases, covering every reasonable scenario, plus a bunch of unreasonable scenarios.

Then I write a half-assed implementation that fails on several tests, and I keep hacking about until more of the tests pass. Once they all pass, I stop. Even if at that point I have no idea why that particular version of the code completely works.

It's nasty I know, but sometimes it's the quickest way to a robust implementation

> And I don't believe for a minute the claims of TDD supporters that TDD naturally leads to 100% coverage.

I agree with you, but at the risk of No True Scotsman'ing this, one of the TDD tenets I'm familiar with is that you write the least amount of code necessary to pass a test. So if you do it The Right Way, then you should be at 100% or something very very close to that.
Personal opinion is it's irresponsible to exist since 2016 and have not hired someone for it yet, especially after these last years re: Solarwinds.

The careers page is hiring a software eng - security which means someone who can build tooling, but won't have any policy/process power beyond what a VP Eng allows them. So good luck deploying necessary changes that that impact dev/product flows.

This is the sort of stuff that gets security/privacy people upset at ex-Googler SV tech. Lot of hubris.
+1 for Vosk. If you want an easy way to get started with it, try mp4grep [1] which is a ready-made program you can unzip and run. To transcribe a whole file, simply:

mp4grep --model ~/apps/mp4grep-0.1.1/model/ --transcribe filename.mp3

The output is more intended for captioning so it's lots of short phrases with timestamps and no punctuation, but it'll give you a quick taste of what Vosk can do.

I use a vanilla Emacs that I download the binary of and that flickers annoyingly on the M1 Macbook I started using recently. My .emacs file is 861 lines long and, like anyone else's, contains years' worth of accumulated gizmos. Not sure what else to say!
When "something is wrong" in a large system, it might not be straightforward to say which detail is wrong exactly.

One of the reasons that you shouldn't "point out something wrong the moment you see it" is because there might be multiple candidates for the "wrong" thing that needs to be addressed, and addressing any of them is enough to make the system as a whole "not wrong" (or at least, less wrong).

If a colleague says something that sounds immediately wrong, try to let them finish what they're saying and try to figure out why it doesn't immediately seem wrong in their own eyes - it might be that what they're saying is only wrong in the context of a larger system, and the colleague simply has a different understanding of the larger system from you, which causes them to not immediately think that it's wrong. Sometimes the "actually wrong" thing might be somewhere else in the system, and if your colleague hadn't been allowed to finish their thought, no one would have realized where the "actually wrong" thing is!
I had a similar problem with my Zigbee network when I first started, but I was able to dig in and fix all of the issues. I changed the Zigbee channel and moved everything away from my WiFi router. @NathanCu was really helpful [1] on the Home Assistant community forums.

Exactly this. Obama's kid isn't being arrested when she drives through Martha's Vinyard in her Mercedes. Your chance of being arrested and spending time in prison is far more closely correlated with your income (or lack thereof) than your skin tone.
Ummm... There are times when using TDD makes sense over trying to talk with automated menus. TDD can save lots of time with certain menu systems.

Use your imagination some time.
Pretty sure that's the OS we're talking about, macOS Catalina 10.15? I am running it right now, and not pining for the new shininess of the more recent OS releases. If it wasn't still getting security updates, sure (but I've got a few more months, at least).
I think you may have focused in on the tangential sentence rather than the point about it being a conceptual overview with Unix commands being used as a metaphor, i.e., not a literal example.

E.g., they’re not typing `echo` commands in the same way that they’re not typing `gpg "make-key"` (which is not a real command).
A loop helps a lot here. You get used to it. It is easier if you're anyhow watching grafana daily...

My “daily drivers”, and what happened to Slackware here
I once heard this described as "pruning the tree of possibilities".

It is a learned skill that is enormously effective. The great thing is you can practice a little at a time.
On the pseudo-modals:

The preferences is small enough that I don’t care about that as much. It’s symptom as much as anything else.

The pseudo-modal for collection management is painful.

I never want to open that pseudo-modal _again_ because it’s so awful. It’s narrow, it doesn’t let me look at the vaults while I’m working through what should be in a collection, etc.

This is a problem because it’s a major feature and someone who has used 1Password from the days when it was 1Passwd and you ran the Switcher’s blog…that’s bad news for the success of the feature. Never mind that this is the only way to get to the previous behaviour of "all vaults" meaning "all vaults that have been selected to show in all vaults" and that so that you’re not constantly getting shown things that you don’t want to see by default because the collection you have the old "all useful vaults" is on ⌘5 instead of ⌘1 or (better yet ⌘0).

On the zoom:

Keep the zoom, if you must. But for the love of Jobs, don’t bind it to ⌘-, ⌘0, and ⌘=. ⌘0 should be _either_ "show preferred collection or account" or "show main window" (leaving ⌘1 for "show preferred collection or account"). Seriously, that binding is the absolute #1 thing that I hate about the Slack app, and there are _legions_ of things to hate about that. Leave the zoom options in the View menu, because your mother-in-law, if she wants to zoom in isn’t going to remember ⌘= to zoom in. She’ll look in the menus.

1Password 8 is _much_ better than it was when I started using it in July. But these two things actively make me _angry_ about using it because: (1) the pseudo-modal, especially for collection management, makes me not want to use something that looks much better than previous mechanisms, and (2) the zoom gets in the way. I’m using 1Password on a single monitor (14" MBP, previously 13" MBP) and I want to set my zoom _once_ and never think about it again, especially if I hit ⌘0 (thinking "show main window" or "show preferred collection or account") but it resets my zoom. Having the zoom bound is a papercut that happens to me multiple times a week because it makes no sense in anything except a web browser.
>I'm also not sure if you are serious about Vitamine d, zinc and magnesium. A normal person has no real issues with those basic things.

Really? Here is a link for you: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34749737/

Most of the population is deficient in any/all of those which are crucial for the immune system. I advocate that we should keep our body working as intended, so give it the vitamins/minerals it needs, exercise, avoid stress and sleep well. I would like a study for people that check all those boxes and are not vaccinated against people that do not check those boxes and are vaccinated to see how well the vaccines really are.

Covid 19 deaths are blown out of proportion. Here in Portugal if you die and you had Covid, even if it was not the cause, it would be counted as a death by Covid. So, if you get hit by a piano when you are walking the street and had Covid, Covid is what officially killed you.
