That sounds like treacherous computing. And I've argued before, that this smells like a rental with the name of a "sale".

A computer does what its owner whats it to do. And when Apple or another company is directing its actions, tells me that what I have is a rental.

Either relinquish control, or put it on the market with the real name. It's not a sale.
Sure, there's even research showing that the same BAC level effects people differently, like up to 10% of people being able to safely operate a vehicle over .08 (eg their BAC of .1 is comparable to a BAC of .08 in the other 90% of people). But that's not how the laws are made. The laws are made to cover the vast majority and are set at .08.

It's not just because they weren't going overboard, but because they simply weren't caught. That can include for speeding, lack of turn signal, etc.

So there's no real variability to the people themselves, legally. Many have simply been lucky. The ones who have been violating it unknowingly have been posing a threat to society by not understanding how intoxicated they are, assuming we as a society believe that anything over .08 is dangerous per out laws.

Of course there will be debate. But that debate will be about false positives and edge cases. It's not going to be "but I want to continue drunk driving like I already am".
I use it to keep up to date on infosec stuff, and to hear about things some high-profile devs are doing etc - and I really like it!

IMO, as long as you stay away from politics, Twitter is great; you can probably say the same for Reddit and other socials too.

One thing that I do hate though, is the bizarre message threading model - it's just so confusing! All I want is messages in chronological order!
There is a time skew between use of government services and when you pay back with taxes. Why shouldn’t a city that paid to educate a kid from age 5 to 18 not receive some of the tax revenue when that kid uses that education to get a job in Tokyo?

It took three operations under GA for me to realize that general anesthesia and I do not get along (seems to trigger or exacerbate depression for me). I had two more surgeries that used general anesthesia and I made a point of monitoring my mental health (and recruiting friends/family to help) and I had a definite decline after both of them (but with awareness I immediately resumed therapy and had better recoveries). I had wrist surgery a couple years ago that used a lower level of sedation, versus general anesthesia, and I had no adverse mental health impact from it that I or my wife could discern. If you're given a choice (and a local isn't an option for some reason), this might be something to consider.
I’ve used a bunch of different tools (even built my own), but have settled in on notion due to its flexibility.

What I’ve finally come to understand is that the tool doesn’t matter all that much. More important is making a habit of using it.

I’ve recently read it takes on average 66 days to form a habit (much longer than the traditional 21 days I had always heard). If you can stick to your daily productivity tactics until it forms a habit, you’ll be in a good place.
IIRC there are still post-operative cognitive problems in major surgeries done without general anesthesia, suggesting that there's something else going on too. (I don't doubt that anesthesia plays some role, though.)

edit: Found the reference: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2018.0075....

"More convincingly, a recent study demonstrated that open abdominal surgery under local anesthesia caused increases in hippocampal IL-6, TNFα, and memory impairments (71), suggesting that anesthesia per se is not necessary for the production of neuroinflammation and subsequent development of POCD."

"As seen in observational studies, a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing the use of general vs. spinal anesthesia in extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy showed no significant difference in the incidence of POCD defined by a neurocognitive battery (142), suggesting that surgery and not anesthesia causes POCD."
Honestly I find 4chan much less toxic than Twitter in practice.
Like I can find some of the most horrible, infuriating and potentially illegal content on Twitter whereas on 4chan it's relatively rare depending on the board and the occasional shooting that gets posted on there first or whatever.
If the users are never aware of other users and they only care about their own data, sure. Maybe you have a service where a user can sign up to do a specific task that never requires interaction with another user.

However, ff you want interaction across users (messaging, user-roles etc.) then you might want to have them in one database.
Then more bots come in undetected and you have to rebase again when you find them. It's a continuous process. You need very understanding investors to pull this off. At the same time there's only so long you can sweep inauthentic engagement under the rug until someone calls you out for it.
yeah, good job. i recently installed pleroma (which is similar to mastodon but less resource hungry) and currently its just now 3 family members. thats all. this is a great thing because i can invite and deny invitation to anyone in the family and just the family so we are not exposed to the cesspool that is facebook/twitter.

i run the server so i have to keep it updated, pay for hosting but it is still a good investment. looking at backblaze b2 pricing, if i move to that, my media hosting costs would still be miniscule compared to the benefit i get from literally owning this own piece of internet

I stumbled on this amazing documentary, "Expo - Magic of the White City"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6HuBYiQEeM

The first 10 minutes are a little cornball but the rest is amazing. I'd never have even looked except it's narrated by Gene Wilder who hadn't done anything for decades and I got curious to know why he'd choose to do this.

Apparently Electricity was "introduced" at the the Expo, as well as the Ferris Wheel, and a bunch of other things

https://chicagoworldsfair1893.weebly.com/new-products-and-te...

It's amazing to me that 27 million people could manage to visit an expo in 1893
I am laughing at the thought that there is a significant amount of people out there who seriously think someone tosses 43 billion dollars around for anything other than a business reason, including some sort of expected return. Everything else is bonus, but clearly Elon thinks there is something there.

Although it makes for a funny thought, you don't become the richest person on earth by throwing your money around at memes or for some sort of "revenge".
There's a responsibility under refugee conventions to take on people needing asylum. The conflation of them with illegal immigration is quite ridiculous. The UK is a rich country (~6th highest in the world), we should shoulder some of the (small) burden that we're asked to - many other, poorer, countries take on much higher refugee burdens.
I've seen applicants with lots of Github repos, which all turn out to be forks, and all the applicant did was make a trivial change to the documentation (not fixing a technical error or expanding the comprehensiveness, but adding periods at the end of list items, capitalizing some proper noun that got missed, etc.)

It seems pretty clear that the Github link in resumes has been cargo-culted for several years now.
You assume a "real name" is a unique identifier (or almost unique).

In some countries a lot of people share the same full name.
I don't think that's really the case. I can't think of any new safe GC-free languages that are more "manual" than Rust, but there are at least a couple that use reference counting with compile time optimisations to make it not really slow. Koka looks the most interesting to me at the moment.
The level of hero worship on this site is bizarre, not even for someone for their technical acumen, but just because they are a figure in the broader culture. It's really disappointing, actually.

Now you are committing extremely serious crimes instead of just spamming though, few would risk that. So this might not solve all spam, but it would probably solve 99.9% of it.

Ugh - I appreciat the spirit of what they are doing, but it’s yet another example of the best of intentions getting flattend by unintended second order effects.

At least it’s still beta!
good point and I agree with the effect, but I'm not sure about the scope. I'm not sure if it will be enough noice to equalize it.

Something else that comes to my mind: Lot of people on HN (me included) share rather personal stuff here. Everything I ever said with this account should (in theory) fall in a consistent picture. But those bots are not there to mimic that. They have other purposes (some of which you already mentioned).
> there's other pretty important stuff that can still bubble up, like the person reinventing the wheel where a well known library could have been used

I wouldn't call not using a well known library "reinventing the wheel". The wheel in that expression is a concept, not a implementation. A library is an implementation of a concept. Writing yourself code instead of using a library is a great way to learn about what that library does and the tradeoffs it makes.

When I think about "reinventing the wheel" as something negative, I think about something like "Medical researcher discovers integration, gets 75 citations": https://fliptomato.wordpress.com/2007/03/19/medical-research....

the bot problem can be solved if there's political will. Elon's power isn't being the guy who solves the problem (though he is pretty good at tackling technical issues directly), Its creating the political will to solve problems other people find intractable and clearing a path and providing resources for smart people to solve it.

frankly I'm jelous and wish I could do that.
This smells of career stage myopia.

As an early career developer, your team wants you to write useful code with few errors and that works best when you can rely on established libraries.

But as your career progresses, your value comes from understanding how those libraries work and from being capable of writing new libraries that support and stabilize the early career developers coming up behind you.

And the only way to go from the first group to the second is from getting your hands dirty. Writing personal and hobby projects that “reinvent the wheel” is one of the best ways to do that.
Trump was prompinent on twitter and violated their TOS for years. He was banned on Jan. 8th. If Twitter were protecting some political narrative, it wasn't reflected in their ban.
because by definition you're being paid for your time. I've never seen a non-contract tech position scoped as "here's an exhaustive set of responsibilities; you'll be paid 40 hrs/week to accomplish them but if you finish early the time is yours". According to your profile you're a new EM; can you honestly say there's a point in your day when the job is done-done and you can jump over to your other job?

It was smaller. That's the part that matters.
Yep! But before doing all of this, check if any .so/.dll for emulating the raw piece of code you are studying is available, so you can do this:

1. check if in the .so/.dll you can spot any function referring to any recognizable (occurring only once) kind of binary blob - like images, or strings too

2. find the same function in the raw image, Ghidra's decompiler helps so much in this

3. find the address supposed to be pointing to the same binary blob (assuming that this blob is the same in the emulated and the real version)

4. scan the raw image for that same blob you have in the emulated version

5. do the maths to find the base address of the raw image.

Obviously all of this works if the raw binary image you have all refers to the same flat memory space and there's no partial relocation by the bootloader/program accepting this image going on.

Don't ask me about that time I painfully spent so much time without knowing I had one file with the odd name of "emulator.dll" staring at me all that time...
If Android managed to score the same integration that an iPhone has with a MacBook in windows, Linux or Mac, I would still have a windows laptop and a Pixel phone. Also I grew tired of the constant EOL of the google ecosystem and honestly iMessage in the US makes a big difference. In other countries WhatsApp is King so it doesn’t matter as much.
Okay but if you don't have a lot of gear, this thing is well outside of your budget, several times over. You'd bring your cheap behringer, yamaha, mackie, etc. mixer instead. You're doing a performance, you packed for that.

And if you can afford this thing, you're not going to do live mixing with it. You bring your flight case with all your performance kit instead.
I disagree but it won't be Hatebook. VR/AR porn will become huge in the next few years, including with connected devices. The main deterrent is getting the cost of the hardware down and Hatebook is doing it for them. If Pornhub were smart, they would poach a bunch of the Meta folks and go all in.
> Not all white "moderate" (whatever that means) live privilieged lives

And I didn't say that they did. I'm just saying that proclaiming that you're white and male doesn't give me any information that would lead me to assume that you are marginalized. That doesn't mean you can't be in some capacity or that you must be privileged, it just means that people who look like that typically are less marginalized than people who are, say, Black or Hispanic.

There's a broad spectrum of marginalizations that exist, such as disability or economic - you can be marginalized as a disabled white guy! That's absolutely true! But when speaking purely about race or ethnicity, it's helpful to realize that people of color broadly experience far more racism.
Privacy and anonymity are great and it doesn't even solve the problem until your ID is associated with some form of public key in every country.

Why is this comment not signed with your full name?

How do you feel about inevitable leaks and your identity being stolen?
This sounds pretty good, all these are qualities anyone would want in their manager if they had a job doing 'the critical path of execution'. There's few things more frustrating than continually having to halt in the middle of one task to jump over to another task because someone's pants are on fire. Sure it happens, but it should be the exception not the norm.

However, there's another side to the manager's job that doesn't seem to be addressed - interfacing upwards with whatever layers link to owners, founders, the board, shareholders, etc. How does that exactly work out in practice? Let's say leadership makes what you think are really stupid decisions with disastrous longterm consequences (ex: Boeing 737 MAX design process, Google signing up with China to build Dragonfly, etc.). What do you do? Pour gasoline on yourself and set yourself on fire in protest, or roll your eyes in despair and proceed to assign your team to the task?
> That something happened once doesn't mean you need to jump at every shadow or that you need to assume that every thing that we do needs to be hardened against every eventuality.

Hardened? No. Design to minimize unpleasant events? Yes. Just for instance did you lock your hose door? It's pointless since thief can still going in and locked or not the chance of being stolen it's not that much. Even that we still produce doors with keys to lock them, try finding a front door without in the market to discover it yourself.

> The cases you list are the exceptions, not the rule. Fact: undersea optical cables would be trivial to destroy. But as a rule they work well.

Sure because they are useful for all parties.

> Fact: water infrastructure, gas infrastructure and power infrastructure is vulnerable. But it actually works quite well.

And have seen a significant spikes in attacks... However again: just see Russian gas to the EU: both parties, with Ukraine as third can destroy the ducts, they do not do that simply because they are equally interested in them: Russia need to sell gas, they have already made the infra, they want money. EU need the gas, without it too many industries will stop. Ukraine use that gas itself and even if they decide to take the damage BOTH EU and Russia will be against them for the collateral damage they suffer.

Actually electricity from Morocco to UK, if cut touch nearly only the UK, so it's a potential target.

> Fact: logistics infrastructure is fragile, as are most buildings. And yet, most of it seems to hold up quite well.

Oh yeah, sure, so the big supply disruption so far is just a small issue in your opinion? In buildings term the fact that our cities can't evolve anymore and we need them evolved is not an issue, to a point we have made the ONU New Urban Agenda? Not counting the continuous debate of low quality buildings, in general, but more in particular big ones where issues might led to far bigger consequences...

> Ok we get the occasional crazy person but that doesn't mean society grinds to a halt or that we are going to re-do all of our bridges, crossings and foundations.

Sorry for keeping such rude tone up but we are actually re-do the society, it's a never-ending process and we are here in a bad shape also thanks to those who say "anything is well, we can continue toward infinitum".
>sure, people may give you crap, but there’s nothing structural working against you

Except rapidly creeping D&I policies which explicitly discriminate against white men?

>Ah yes, white moderate men, the historically oppressed population, beaten down by years of hardship

This line of reasoning is a toxic non-sequitur. The fact that white men weren't "oppressed" historically does not mean that they are incapable of being oppressed now or should not be allowed to make such claims. Especially when you consider that even if "straight white men" are in power, the policies of that managing minority can absolutely skew our institutions against the rest who aren't in management. Which, by the way, is the entire point of D&I, so it's incredibly dishonest to pretend that oppression isn't happening when the oppressors are overtly trying to "level the playing field" by reducing/denying opportunity to this demographic.

You don't get to pretend that these policies aren't oppressive/discriminatory just because you agree with them, but that's what proponents are absolutely doing. And without pushback there's nothing stopping an overcorrection, which metrics indicate is already happening, since no one is bothered by a team that is 100% "diverse" (i.e. zero white males).

What Is Having Aphantasia Like?
Agree. I do have a GitHub account, but I do not link it in my CV (nor I link my personal website).

I like to write "toy" software that more often than not does not leave my laptop. In the rare occasions I believe the software I write could be of help to others, I do publish it. But man, I code in my free time for fun! I couldn't care less about following guidelines or the latest patterns or using docker, or whatever.

I'm genuinely curious as to why you think the bot would be posting "faster" to someone's opinion or statement than a person who can read the statement and respond as fast as they can type..

I can see people setting up some form of pre-loaded opinion/responses based on what they want to be seen as..e.g. if $OPINION_I_DISLIKE print $YOU_BAD else print $YOURE_RIGHT! but that seems like it's pretty limited as to completely not work in practical human communication
You're kind of right. I didn't want to make the game even harder than it already is but there is a fuel penalty involved for moving forward and turning.

The moon craft is applying the correct horizontal thrust to allow you to "corner on rails" but subtracting that thrust from your fuel.

You notice if you have no horizontal movement, yaw takes negligible fuel: a short burst rotates you and you can indefinitely rotate without additional fuel.

The instant you have a horizontal component, there is a continuous fuel penalty as you rotate — because, as you point out, an additional velocity vector is required to keep you both moving forward and turning.

It's much more fuel efficient to establish the direction you want to fly the craft before applying forward thrust.
I'm never going to work for a company whose hiring managers require me to post hobby projects on Github.

Won't even entertain interviewing with them.

I shouldn't have to spend thousands of hours a year working on shit outside of work to prove that I can do my job. If it's not obvious from the interview and whatever test I'm given, then we have nothing further to discuss. One of the reasons I don't suffer from burnout is that once I'm finished with my full time job and my consulting side-gig, I leave it alone.

I might dabble in some new technology from time to time, but there's no reason to announce that to the world.
