It would be fun if this could be fixed. Create a protocol for free support.

1) Developers should be presented with a refined list of support requests relevant to development in a format that they can act upon.

2) It should be made convenient for users to interact and discuss the software. If numbers are not sufficient to build a community the chat channel can be bundled with that of similar software.

3) The discussion should produce wiki format q&a, draft-bug reports and feature requests that may start out as copy past chat logs.

I wonder what kind of success this might have, because this is clearly something they built either internally or for a client and turned it into a off the shelf product.

Hmm, I agree with some of the points, yet also 1) think transcription services will make this more and more of a moot point and 2) find it strange that he would put background music to enhance the mood, while pure text can't have background music.
The physical keys I have require a PIN to be entered before they function. I haven't looked into the specifics but it's possible the token denies attempts after a certain number and possibly deletes itself after a certain number of attempts fail in a row.
The fact that you remember the one from a videogame, makes it seem like that would be a good candidate password for this purpose. If it's used to wipe the data (which is backed up), then it shouldn't need to be as secure as a regular password. In fact, it might be preferable to be less secure so that someone trying to brute force would hit the duress password first.
Even more concerning is Hotjar.

Show HN: Mind Sanctuary, mood tracking and psychological testing
A child starts getting very expensive after age 10. Most likely, this child had served its purpose in their lives and the parents are done with their parenthood phase. It is time for someone else to take over while they travel the world and enjoy the finer things in life child free. It is possible they were just pressured into being parents by their extended family, but they didn’t really want to be.
Automated tests are very poor at capturing the nuance of user interaction, and I find that they frequently are not exhaustive or watching the video shows only a "happy path" and doesn't expose functional deficiencies in a feature. They show that a feature works, but not that it works correctly or especially not that it works _well_.

For straightforward regressions and minor tweaks I am usually satisfied to see a video and test automation, but for any kind of new functionality I strongly advocate pulling the code and actually playing with it.

Depending on your company structure, product managers can help with this functional review as well, although this requires working tooling and org structure in a way that doesn't exist at some companies.
Sure, that would be the right approach I guess, but I think the whole point is trying to foresee benefits/problems before wasting time.
Deprecation is an essential part of language and SDK maintenance. If you find a programming language that hasn’t done it, you’ve found a trivial or dead language. (Or one that’s just gone ahead and removed the features without any warning.)

Yah, it's disappointing
It sounds a bit like the family might have been ostracized from their church, friends, and extended family after leaving their faith. Those relationships may have been critical to the child's wellbeing, covering up poor parent/sibling relations. Or losing them caused behavioral issues all around.

Just speculation of course. My gut says if we knew all the details we'd have a harder time passing judgement on the parents.
I do wonder the effect it has on "total leisure time spend". My hypothesis is that piracy drops total spend in dollars, but maybe not necessarily on the category that was pirated. This would fit and counter the oft-claimed "if I couldn't pirate this I wouldn't have bought it anyway, so it's not a lost sale".

I hypothese there would be two reasons:

- because piracy enables more consumption of some media than the person otherwise would have done, it means they have less leisure time available to spend on other media which they would have spent money on. E.g. instead of buying a book and reading it, they would watch a low-value movie they pirated, affecting book sales but not movie sales

- because piracy decreases the perceived value of an hour of entertainment, the person would be less willing to spend money in other categories as well and would rather fall back to cheaper options

The result would be that the amount a person spends on _total_ entertainment drops, but the drop would be in other categories than the category that is piratable.
'The 15 people in IT were asked to perform 100 video calls to other employees. Spontaneous ones.

They were reportedly told to say they were checking to see if the company's VPN was working as it should.

The IT people were "told to note whether that employee answered the call promptly and enabled their video during the chat, and to log more personal details, including a description of where that person was working and whether they were dressed professionally."

Apparently, if the employee didn't respond to the call three times, they were put on the naughty list. Or, worse, shown straight to the door.'

Who would want to work for such a company?

The term “whataboutism” is a tell for intellectual laziness at best. Considering multiple particular cases to draw general conclusions is basic ratiocination. You might as well just call the person you’re talking to a “chud” instead and be done with it.
Speaking as a consumer, that in itself doesn't make it enticing. If there was very little worthwhile content on 1-2 platforms, maybe, but since I'm not the "binging" type who absolutely needs to see every hyped show right now, I can't be arsed and find there's already enough to see.

Ask HN: Why is TikTok’s FYP algorithm so geographically weighted?
I live in the US and travel to Italy for about 2 weeks every year. I use TikTok on a daily basis.

When I’m in Italy my feed features a lot of Italian language content. I don’t speak Italian. It feels like TikTok should “know” that I don’t care for Italian language content by now. TikTok clearly overweights geographic location, and the degree to which it overweights hasn’t changed since my last annual trip.

I haven’t worked on recommendation algorithms. Why do you think this problem of geographic weighting is so hard to solve for?

Not really. For a civil servant, it was a fraction of a month's salary before and it's a fraction of a month's salary today.

That fraction is double-ish what it was, but it's still merely a chunk or two of an average person's monthly salary (i.e. it's trivially easy for anyone at all to get caught in this net).

Today a ton of kids use the Spotify free tier or YouTube, letting advertisers pay that $10/month.

Also consider that this is riskier than it used to be in the 90s: plenty of kids would pirate but they know their parents’ ISP would cut them off.
How practical is this against an adversary with hardware access? If they can put a vampire tap on the motherboard or CPU pins, won't the alternate code paths pursued by the CPU alert them? Most computers have standardized bootloaders. This would only work if the decryption key selection computation is encrypted and homomorphic.
And the "launcher wars" are finally dying down, with companies capitulating to Steam, preventing the backslide into piracy-as-more-convenient that streaming platforms are having.
What’s the alternative? I assume that you’re not suggesting that one signs up for adoption and gets assigned a random child. So the alternative is agents with access to the inventory (children) and clients (potential parents). I don’t understand why that’s better than letting clients browsing inventory by themselves.

A whole lot of unwillingness to make reasonable accommodations for people based on disabilities will open you up to lawsuits.

To imply reasonable accommodations for neuro-divergent people is simply a matter of "comfort" is indeed worth a "what a world" on the same level as refusing to make reasonable accommodations for those who are blind or hard of hearing or in a wheelchair.
Well a random variable is a function, from event space to the real line. We return to a single measure by taking its expectation. We dont model `Y = f(X)`.

This doesn't play well with the universal theorem in the article. NNs can only be said to model expectations of random variables.

This is a weird question because they're so different. Google handles an incredible number of queries, has specialized code for detecting and handling different search intents, metrics for result quality, and AI systems to improve result quality. Popular queries and unpopular ones likely go through completely different code paths, and recent data likely has separate code path. In addition, Google has a crawler side that you have to remember. Pagerank is also less of a thing than it used to be.

Elasticsearch is a sharded search index.

You're telling me you were confused by what the author could possible mean with his nice and smooth y=f(x) and that you misunderstood him that really he was implying that GAI is just around the corner? The whole discussion here is one long list of "Gotcha!", missing the point and the context of the article completely.

You think these non-CS people you evoke will be too dense to understand that the author is just approximating a simple function, and then will leverage their non-CS background and immediately conclude that ANN can 'solve' Cantor-dust, non-computability and the halting problem? That's a very specific set of background your non-CS people will have to have to fall for that.

[Edit:]

What do you think they'll make of "Multilayer feedforward networks are universal approximators"?

("This paper rigorously establishes that standard multilayer feedforward networks with as few as one hidden layer using arbitrary squashing functions are capable of approximating any Borel measurable function from one finite dimensional space to another to any desired degree of accuracy, provided sufficiently many hidden units are available. In this sense, multilayer feedforward networks are a class of universal approximators.")

There is no way this is from a Russian security officer. We can unpack this part by part -- all merely my opinion + common sense:

- RF nuclear deterrence: this part is designed to allay fears of NATO citizens of getting directly involved in the fight. In what universe does a Russian spook undermine his nation's deterrence? So, garner public support for direct NATO involvement by claiming that military chain of command in RF strategic forces is non-functional, and (for bonus point) the weapons may not even work!

- Famine: this part is directed at the people of what is known as "global south". Under-reported in the West, the "global south" is either sitting this out or is voicing objections of Western hypocrisy and actually rooting for the Russians. Putting a little bit of fear of starvation in that demographics may provide political cover for their political classes.

- Chechnya: in the same alternate universe, a Russian FSB agent fans the flames of resentment of the locals in a separatist-ready corner of Russian Federation.

- Soleimani: this part is interesting. RF, of course, was not 'tricked' by Soleimani into getting involved in Syria. They got themselves a nice little piece of property (for ever, btw, for free!) on the Mediterranian. So little blackwashing of Iranians as well.

p.s. of course having this circulate in Russia will go a long way to demoralize the Russian public. It is transparent psyops.

Even as a kid, if you can't afford $10 a month, you're doing something wrong.

I remember a young boy, around age 10, who would go around the neighborhood offering to take people's trash to the road on Sunday for disposal on Monday mornings. All he asked was that you open your garage door by 6 p.m. so he could come around and pull your bins to the curb. He charged $5 a month.

Some of you may be thinking, "Wow, you're so lazy you can't even take your own trash to the road?"

Well I could... but for less per day than I spend on Diet Coke, I can get it done for me every month without having to worry about it and all I had to do was program my garage door to open at 6 p.m. on Sunday and close at 9 p.m.

About half the people in our neighborhood took up this lad on his offer, so he had to have been making around $200 a month or so. Not too shabby for a 10 year old boy.

It's not difficult to make money. You just offer a service doing things most people don't want to do.

The most extreme scenario is decoupling Asia, Europe, and North America from China. As in, they all shift their manufacturing elsewhere and block all imports from China. That would of course drastically harm the West, at least temporarily, but it would be far more devastating to China and the mass uprisings could end CPC.

This is basically anti-Republican misinformation. Even for NYT it's a stretch. I have not seen anything anywhere that is remotely pro-Russia. When I saw the headline, I thought it might be about a backlash against the mindless pile on of support for a country most people probably couldn't find on a map two weeks ago. But now I see it's just an absurd attempt to try and bring some weird anti-trump anti-anything other than coastal liberal twist to this story. The invasion has been roundly condemned and opposed by all sides. It's disgusting that it's being used by the NYT for political gain here.

If you're fedramp certified, they kinda are. Fedramp is the key that unlocks a lot of really high-paying customers, and if you lose your certification those customers (with their firehose of revenue) go poof.

How to lose certification: Don't address a known vulnerability (CVE) within a specific number of days, based on severity. Doesn't matter if it's log4j or some random executable in your images that's never used.

When you're up to hundreds of services, thousands of packages, and millions in revenue from Fedramp customers, InfoSec gets pretty important.

There's plenty that's crazy about the current system. But I'd assume in your example state actors would be tracking and possibly copying your server accesses. And perhaps your server. (Cross border? Blocked. VPN? Blocked. On-prem? Easy to raid. "Don't keep logs"? Actually we do. Open source encryption? One contributor just happens to be from an intelligence agency and added some weaknesses. And so on...)

Security is really hard. For every "obvious" solution there's always going to be a back door. For every known backdoor there's going to be a covert back door which you're not going to be aware of, or a honey trap which looks like a trusted independent solution but is really state owned.

If you want a truly secure solution you're probably going to have to wait for some kind of bio-linked technology where your personal data is embedded in your physical body, and forced access either wipes it, or kills you, or perhaps both, depending on the settings.
