I learned about the existence of usermode helpers last year by working with coredump helpers (/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern) and found it quite interesting too. The modes where the kernel spawns a new process on behalf of the users (or as init process) are quite obvious. But this case - where the kernel just executes a helper program in userspace which then immediately terminates - are slightly different. It's a neat design - because it allows for customizing kernel behavior without having to compile a custom kernel.
Here's a theory:
The hyper-connected modern society create a new ecosystem that our ancient brains are easily affected by media , disinformation, marketing strategy, manipulation supported by big data etc. In the ecosystem the more electable candidates happened to be good actors that are very good at acting , and deception not only to the public but also to themselves.

Dishonest is a feature for having a better odds to win the elections in modern time. Not a bug. Statistically people get more dishonest politicians who are very good at being elected. It happened to accompanied with other traits. Dishonest is one of them.

Another one , a more dangerous one then dishonest, is that they cause more conflicts and wars by inspiring "good" people fighting against "evil" with illusions that they stand in a high moral ground. The victims of this feature are in none-western countries. So the perceived impacts are less then dishonest.

If the theory is true, then complaining about individual politicians doesn't work. The root cause of the problem which is reflected in statistics would be ignored.
As of 2022 I have so far refused to install Whatsapp on principle. We deserved federated IM and 10 years ago we almost had it with XMPP. To me Whatsapp were the antithesis of this, by binding IM to mobile numbers and phones and making it an entirely closed system. By blurring the lines between themselves and SMS, they made using their platform ubiquitous. iMessage is much the same - people don't even know the difference between it and SMS.

We've all been robbed.

Instagram banned my account without reason. Or rather, they turned off my ability to interact with the account. The account is still there. People can view my photos. At this point I would just like the account removed, but there's no way for me to do it.

If I log in on my PC it tells me to log into the app to regain access to my account. If I log into the app on iOS, I get a black screen. On Android I also get a black screen, but I can also navigate through the menu. Every menu item either gives me an error saying something like "challenge required" or takes me to the same message I see on PC. I've tried all the online guides I can find, but none of them seem to have my specific problem.

Is there any way to remove an Instagram account without going through the usual channels?
It feels a bit like an interview with a psychopathy patient, where they are trying to come across as normal and likeable even though you know they are lying to you.

On the other hand, perhaps humans evaluating these claims are biased against accepting the AI's sentience, in that we are used to looking for flaws (or even malice) in the responses of AIs, so we might detect that in their words even if it isn't there.

Obviously a more conventional Turing Test would have involved the interviewers talking to LaMDA and a human separately, without knowing which is which. If ethical norms were stretched, though, LaMDA could be deployed in some situation where the interviewer isn't aware of even the possibility they could be communicating with an AI.
I have a Sharp Aquos I got around 2014 and it's pretty good. I haven't used the smart functions on it since 2015 and nothing pops up to upsell me features... It also doesn't have any hidden cameras or microphones on it from what I can tell. If it fails me, I'll probably try to find a lightly used copy of the same model. Sharp TVs have always been reliable in my experience since I was a kid.

These days I only buy slightly older tech, and it costs less too. New tech has too many new features bent on betraying and upselling me, worst crime is that they make you pay extra for the deceitware and bloatware.

My rule-of-thumb is that onboarding has to be *incredibly* easy; it's the front door of an application, the user's first substantial interactions. If it's not easy or streamlined, I start wondering how the rest of the UX is. And in this case, the front door muddied the carpet inside the doors of the software, and I couldn't figure out how to make the process easy for myself, as BW is feature-gapped in many places.

>Once you actually try to use BW in earnest, you'll find it's noticeably worse than 1PW in most ways. The most glaring is that it is meh at detecting login forms and poor at detecting new account signup. These are the 2 primary flows for a pw manager!

Yes, exactly. I'd argue that login form management is the single most important selling point of a password manager. I can roll my eyes, but deal with new account signup forms. But login forms with stellar autofill is what separates the wheat from the chaff, IMO.

>They've had quite long enough time already to do that. How long will you hold out hope?

Competition makes better product for all of us, I don't want to go back to the days of LastPass, So I'll cross my fingers for them, but won't return as a customer after this initial billing cycle.

>Anyway the primary use case I care about is sharing, not self-mgmt.

I'm the inverse; self-management is more important. The only sharing I need is with my partner, which we don't do much of, considering most important shared stuff has accounts for each of us. KeePass is simply for backup purposes, but I haven't decided one way or another where I'll land between them and Vault. I lean towards Vault (Full disclosure: I work for Hashicorp) mostly because I'm more familiar with the APIs than I am with KeePass's plugin/extension frameworks.
I've used BW for over a year now. The inability to detect forms is a common problem, with long standing open bugs being documented elsewhere in this post.

I distinctly remember, the very first new login I created after moving over to BW. Nothing happened and I just assumed BW was simply not that chatty about such things. BW fails to detect a significant number of signups for me. It's not a rare occurrence. I've had to train myself to create the login explicitly, rather than hope for auto detection.

1PW has taken a wrong direction, so I "suffer" with BW. However I don't recommend it to anyone. (no one asks, so it's not much of a concern)

Not tautological, I'd say. It is entirely reasonable to say, about a field, that its deepest mysteries have been elucidated centuries ago. One might be mistaken about that, sure. But it is a sensible and non-tautological statement to make.

As an interesting example of doing something meaningful with relaxed arithmetic, Arc uses a relaxed fetch_add to increment the refcount: https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/sync.rs.html#1331-1343. Decrementing, however, uses acquire-release. Apparently shared_ptr in C++ is similar.

We are not a nation of people with European descent anymore. Believe it or not, most non-whites in America don’t give a crap about doing anything about Europe. Hell, most people I know don’t even believe US should’ve entered WW2. No more than entering Vietnam was a good idea or entering Bangladesh during 1971 war to liberate it.

Think about this way, because of increased Muslim population, European countries have started to distance themselves from Israel. Why wouldn’t be the same for US?

Europeans aren’t even remotely aware of the warning call Donald Trump was. There is very little love for Europe in the US from all sides.

Interesting idea. Pilots require 40 hours minimum to take the certification test, but most need maybe 60 or so. Pretty sure I had a lot more than that for driving. In addition to the state-mandated driving instruction which was probably around 8 hours total (some of it "watching" other student drivers) I'm sure I had a few hundred hours of supervised driving under my belt before taking the test. Outlier? Maybe, but I can't imagine less than the 40-60 hours required for prospective pilots.

Also, I don't think student pilots typically train on autopilots. Those kinds of technology components are usually learned either on one's own or with an instructor/co-pilot after completing basic training. The basic pilot training focuses on safe pilotage from takeoff to landing, including land nav and radio communications, and ignores pretty much all modern technology.
But, will it blend???
I think "non-psuedo-random" is definitely better for someone approaching the topic from a beginner mindset. It possibly hints that something non-psuedo-random can become psuedo-random depending on how advanced scientific understanding of nature becomes.

I work on large-scale systems software, mostly high-performance database and analytics products. Docker's sole function in that kind of environment is easy replication of dev and functional test environments. No one deploys this type of software in Docker or similar due to the performance implications. Docker was a convenience, it wasn't providing anything critical. I replaced it with a small set of shell scripts and similar.

For this type of development, the number of external dependencies you have is very small. Aside from the compiler, build system, and testing, the number of third-party libraries linked into a release can usually be counted on one hand. Again, for good reason.

Basically, I am doing what I did before Docker, writing a small set of scripts that can perfectly reproduce the environment where I need it. This is made much easier because modern build systems have good dependency management built-in so writing those scripts is a lot less involved.

When exporting data, in any of the supported formats, 1password will warn the following:

edit: This is apparently new behavior in 1password8. If you have upgraded to the very latest version, the .1PUX export does seem to finally solve this problem. But that's new - it was not true for any previous version.
Not to derail the overall discussion but LG OLED is still the best blacks and the best option if you can control room lighting. The latest Samsung QLED has gotten closer on blacks (though the latest LG have gotten closer on brights too…) and is still the brightest but neither “beat” the other, it depends on if you want the blackest blacks or the brightest brights. Also of note is the QLED only goes to 65”, LG goes to 83” Check out comparisons on rtings.
I can name a couple a new projects I'm using heavily myself where using C makes sense (to me at least).

Portability might be the most reasonable argument, which is understandable when you're writing things like build systems, e.g.:

Then there are small tools when using anything else just doesn't buy you much, and if you're familiar with C, why bother? e.g.

While you’re probably right about studio production, I think we’re in a freshly rising wave of new folk sounds and outsider composition.

Those pawn shop guitars are still finding their way to local stages and TikTok videos, and that moog you got sick of tuning and patching to reproduce a sound just got used for some analog nerd’s new daily ambient track on Soundcloud.

Making music is too exciting for instruments to collect dust. The retirement of a lot of these instruments from studio production may even be somewhat responsible for the rise of all these new folk sounds.

Ask HN: Why doesn't Chrome mobile offer to save your tabs to a Google Doc?
Chrome mobile is one of the only apps that laughs at you (via :D icon) and it also accumulates other slowdowns as your tabs accumulate.

Tabs are useful though, and can represent a lot of research cost in terms of time, and also organizational energy. A lot of people use Chrome for work, and rely on the tab functionality as part of their day to day work.

But it seems like large numbers of tabs are clearly an internal issue for Chrome mobile that make it a worse experience, such that this must be communicated to users via emotional cues and other unwanted side effects.

The combination: "We anticipated this might happen, so we'll show a laughing icon and also not work as well" seems logically really weird, but also very preventable.

So: Why doesn't the app offer to save your tabs to a Google Doc for you, before closing them and placing the doc link in the tab dialog?

Or something else?

> It is entirely reasonable to say, about a field, that its deepest mysteries have been elucidated centuries ago.

I can imagine this being true of a field that is no longer studied, although I can't think of any good example—the only unsatisfactory one that occurred to me is penmanship, but (a) that's not exactly a scientific discipline and (b) there are probably still people out there making strides in penmanship—but I find it hard to believe of any living discipline. In fact, I would argue that, if it is true of a discipline that its deepest mysteries were discovered in the past, then that discipline is effectively dead.
I'm a physicist. When I was in school, a year of electronics was typically required for an undergrad physics degree. The capstone project at my college was building a 4-bit minicomputer from gates.

There were two reasons for this tradition. First, physicists are often called upon to act as multi-disciplinary problem solvers. Second, experimental physics is almost exclusively electronic and computerized. Things like data acquisition boards for personal computers were only beginning to be commercialized, and a lot of us rolled our own gear.
