> And sometimes, fairly rarely, but it happens, it's just surprising how good of a suggestion it can make.

I've had this experience too. Usually it's meh, but at one point it wrote an ENTIRE function by itself and it was correct. IT WAS CORRECT! And it wasn't some dumb boilerplate initialization either, it was actual logic with some loops. The context awareness with it is off the charts sometimes.

Regardless I find that while it's good for the generic python stuff I do in my free time, for the stuff I'm actually paid for? Basically useless since it's too niche. So not exactly worth the investment for me.

> MEGA can recover a user's RSA private key by maliciously tampering with 512 login attempts.

I think this attack is really interesting and novel, but 512 login attempts is pretty high. I have a Mega account and I think I've logged in less than 50 times in the entire lifetime of my account, including when it was still controlled by Kim Dotcom. If you're an interesting enough target to use this on, I don't see why the Mega server that delivers the javascript for encryption can't be compromised instead, and just harvest the passphrase when it's submitted to login the first time?

I don't know what you'd have to do to convince someone to login 512 times via social engineering, either. Presumably, a user who is dedicated and uses the service on a daily basis might hit this through normal usage in a year and a half? That's definitely plausible, but how many users are initiating new logins each time? How many will just stay logged into the app and never login?

I guess for some percentage of people (e.g., people who are logging in each time via Tails, and do it twice a day) this attack is acutely viable, but it surely can't be all users.
Eh. I'd be okay with making all the software in the world open-source. It's only a matter of time before we have computers powerful enough to reverse-engineer everything in a split second anyway.

1) I haven't looked for a job in a while. Do CURRENT_YEAR job ads distinguish between junior developer, developer, and senior developer? I mostly remember seeing ads for junior developer and senior developer jobs in the past and jobs that just listed "developer" were not that common if I remember right.

2) I think your description of senior mostly applies to some sort of lead developer or director of technology or some other fancy title. I think a senior developer can help juniors and make team decisions, but those who specialize in what you mention have some kind of lead or management title. To me, the key trait of a senior developer is that they can work out most problems on their own.
This is incredible to me. I'd love for someone to articulate what their thought process was to lay off in such a manner.

That one would be easy to measure for yourself, because that "worth it" depends on your number of hours worked a month and your compensation.

Let's be on a more conservative end and say that an engineer gets paid $60/hour (i know that most engineers are salaried, so you will need to divide the monthly pay number pre-tax by 160 hours to get that hourly number). If copilot saved more than 10 minutes of your time a month, then yeah, it is worth more than $10/mo.

Do the math on this one yourself, based on how many hours you work in a month on average + your compensation for that time period.

> Whatever index card system or similar the operating procedure in the room prescribes for keeping track of state?

You're missing the point. A bit is just some electrons. It could be a scribble in a notebook. But consciousness integrates several pieces of information into a coherent experience. The bits in an index card system could as well be some scratchings of graphite in a notebook. How would consciousness arise from graphite in a notebook?

> We don't have any 'scientific theory' of qualia. We don't even know if they exist,

I differ on this. The only thing I know for certain the universe contains is qualia. You, the idea there is a "me", atoms, bits, axons and electric potentials are merely ideas, which "I" apprehend as qualia.

> or how they would manifest in the physical world.

Correct, that is the question. But the Chinese room thought experiment shows it's not merely by information processing. I mean, atoms in a room are processing information - they are computing the next state of all of the atoms in the room. Are they conscious? How about a subset of those atoms? Are those conscious in a different way?

The point is that the consciousness-is-computation idea is just too weak to even be a physical theory.
I really want one! It will probably be my next "new computer" purchase, unless something more appealing to me is made (probably not happening). amazing balance of fully open hardware and sustainable/repairable. I couldn't feel good about buying a computer that is not OSHW. It just feels wrong to buy single-use unrepairable stuff that has forced obsolescence built in (looking at Apple ecosystem especially here). That said, my current hoard of old ThinkPads is doing well so it's pretty tough to justify purchasing anything new.

This is such a great point. Diffs have largely not changed in decades and increasing the quality of diffs by 10% i feel would contribute so much to productivity. Especially when files contain repeating lines between chunks of code diffs tend to find it hard to understand what was deleted and what was moved because of the deletion.
in California, currently famous as a wildfire center of the West, the local power company (12 million customers?) was required to run power to rural areas long ago. About 40,000 miles of power lines in California are using cable quality from the 1940s, which are illegal to use now in any way. But the cost to replace those lines directly is not eligible for rate increases to customers, so they stay as they are. Yet cutting trees is a cost that is eligible for pay rate increases to customers (roughly, legalese warning).. so more and more trees are cut. Surprise! (not)

Meanwhile "look birds are doing it" is in the headlines..

Personally I have 75 domains that use Cloudflare (not very normal but yeah)

Most of which are just small personal sites

I use Cloudflare to:
1. Give me easy SSL on all of the sites ("flexible", so not 'proper' ssl)
2. Hide my origin IPs
3. Easy compression, minification, caching, etc.
4. Host some sites on Cloudflare Pages

CDNs certainly aren't necessary for small websites but I'd say Cloudflare is the one to use if you want one, but also want to avoid spending money.

If you feel like you don't need or want one, honestly just don't bother with it.
I allow http:// on my personal site as well due to this reason. I strongly support the use of old computers (and am planning to remove all JS from my site, just haven't got around to replacing the ready-made theme I started with).

If your organization often gets outsiders in to present, it could slurp off the interesting contents of anything plugged in. Or, if you can get access to the projectors (or just the HDMI cables) at e.g. DEFCON.

For certain selected targets, it might install something for later. Or maybe just everybody, and you only use the one on the target's machine, and ignore the rest.

Note, you don't need to hack the projector. You just interpose between the computer and the projector, just like this thing does.

There was a common pattern in use back in the day when I managed openbsd filewalls (can't remember if it was ipf or pf days). When changing firewall rules over ssh, you'd use a command line like:

If your ssh access was still working and various sites were still up during that 10sec you were probably good to go - or at least you hadn't shut yourself out.

On HN, critics are super angry that many people got rich for doing things they didn't do themselves, because they consider such things swindle/morally bad etc.

> The sooner it crashes and burns, the sooner we can hope to prevent more pointless financial deaths

The only problem with this argument is that you are certain it's going to fail/crash/burn. What if it doesn't?

As I can't predict the future, I consider the chances of failures are not 100%. Actually, I believe the chances of success may be closer to 50/50.

Should crypto not fail, I wonder how people who celebrated the prior crashes will feel? Maybe they will just rationalize all that away, as most people don't seem to have too much of a conscience.

Personally, I prefer to avoid such conundrums altogether: my way is to not wish failure and to not rejoice in the crashes of even those things I disagree with: "live and let live".

But almost nobody believes they are evil or doing bad things, so I'm sure it a-ok to celebrate the crash because "The sooner the 100% guaranteed crash and burn happens, the better", right?

I found the car for less than 6 thousand USD in Alibaba.

Someone else on this thread claims that Argentina is selling it for 9.5 thousand USD.

The title claims it's a 100% Argentine car.

And yet the article states the following:

>In 2018 Coradir’s CEO and his team decided to develop a battery bank platform, motor train and all the associated electronics so that any national car manufacturer could develop its own version of TITO, but the project fell flat.

>“Then, we realized we already had a complete car and asked ourselves, ‘what if we make it available to the public?’ At that moment the 100% electric TITO was born,”

This is awful everything.
Too much.

One option is to bury all those lines. This is possible in theory, but not in practice. If you did this, then you also have to worry about all the future issues with power lines you can't see or maybe even find anymore.

It looks like the key difference between this and what3words is that squares near each other have mostly the same words. With only the last word changing for adjacent squares, and even then they are similar. I can see the motivation for this (you can abbreviate to fewer words for a general area), but alto suspect it is partially about the W3w patent. However it also increases the risk of being slightly wrong with a location, w3w is good for things like emergency rescue as you can’t be slightly wrong.
Super anecdotal, but most people I know that fit your description had one success early in their careers and then rode that wave to future successes. That is definitely some people, and perhaps even many of the people who are the most visible (since that visibility is one way to ride the wave).

But by far most of the successful people I know have confronted a ton of failure as well, and adapt to it quickly: they treat it as a noisy data point, take what they can from it (like updating blind spots, etc.), and move on. You don’t make 100% of the shots you don’t take, and precisely because there are so many variables you can’t control, you need to take many shots.

The folks who see failures as inevitable and as barriers to success and who as a result don’t even bother to try…almost by definition cannot succeed.

I think you may have the causality pointing the wrong way here.

There is an artist's intent, and then there is interpretation of the work. You can't prevent someone from applying a political lens for interpretation -- oh, look, those people are out of place, etc. Sometimes this can shed light on the work, other times obscures it.

Beethoven's "Eroica" symphony was explicitly political and changed the dedication as political events unfolded. Later, Beethoven wrote the "Harp" quartet in a cellar in Vienna while it was being bombarded by Napoleon's army. The quartet is the last thing you'd imagine it to be under the circumstances of its composition, and maybe that was the point, in which case you can say there is perhaps an inverted political intent at play here, too. The political context adds a dimension to how I think of that quartet.

(I can't resist mentioning Beethoven's "Wellington's Victory" -- not highly regarded and very corny and probably more on the order of what you expect from "political" art).

Now give me a political interpretation of Beethoven's C# minor quartet. I'd maybe have to take Taruskin's approach of considering it the work of not a single individual, but what was required from the whole society for such a work to have been produced. Everything from fiddle makers to music instruction to how arts were funded. At that point, I don't think the mode of analysis any longer has anything to do with the C# minor quartet.

I strongly endorse the idea of autonomous expression in art; when there is reason to believe the artist's intent was political, I'll follow along; when not, a political interpretation is useful only insofar as it sheds light on the work.
I had two thoughts...

a) handicaps? might not work for all sports, but worth looking into surely.

b) instead of a hard "male at age 12" rule, allow the athlete to undergo a series of tests to demonstrate their physiology is in line with that of a female rather than a male.

But...realistically these decisions should be left to the experts.

(BTW I'm pretty sure your statement "They just feel like women. Sorry, but physical development doesn't care about your feelings." isn't really accurate for many such transsexuals - the reasons they decided to transition are just as much biochemical as anything else. And if it weren't true, then there's no issue - they just compete in the "men's" category).

>I think his point was their very first product was a success. No failures required.

Except those companies, or the people who founded them, also had early failures. For instance, Zuckerberg's original site was more akin to "Hot or Not" than Facebook and got shut down by Harvard. Gates certainly had failures, as did Larry and Sergey. Just because the company they founded was successful from inception doesn't mean it wasn't a struggle to figure out how to get there. It would be wild to me to assume that there are people out there, walking among us, who have never failed.
I see, this seems to be an unfortunate consequence of the 'app ecosystem'. I'll keep that in mind, thank you very much! :-)
Knowing Argentina's history with currency control, parallels economies and punitive import duties, it's probably the later where some insiders are pocketing the difference by claiming the car is "made in Argentina" (but is illegally imported from China).

If you can't compete, slap duties!
