Sure, but we're not talking about professionals spending hours perfecting takes, we're talking about people supposedly manipulating their own voice - probably to represent a completely different accent - in real time whilst being interviewed by someone probably paying an unusual amount of attention to tone of voice, possible hesitation etc. If people have the skills to do that near-flawlessly for 30 minutes, they probably don't need to bid on random non-deepfake work using someone else's ID...

Even if interviewers don't suspect deepfakes, the audio artefacts of deepfakes (odd intonation, mispronunciation and pauses) are going to sound suspiciously like someone who isn't very confident in their answers or is bullshitting. Much easier for poor English speakers just to draft in a person who speaks better English and maybe knows more about the actual work for the interview...
I keep hearing and reading about Deno too but I don't understand why I or my project would need or want it or consider switching to it. What does it give me, how is it better, why is it better. I'm confused on why I would pay for hosting? You're not alone.

I think another element is if you are a single or part of a small team of developers you realize quite quickly the value IHP adds to your project in terms of time savings:SES, Sentry, deployment... Etc. Also When you rely on IHP for anything in production you end up exploring some of the more remote corners of the design and I've found the quality is still very high even for niche features. From this perspective paying the monthly fee to keep the team developing IHP interested becomes a very good investment.
> why Haskell instead of C#/F#/Go/Rust

Keep in mind that this was 2016. Rust was a lot more niche back then, much of the tooling that we have today didn’t exist yet, and nobody was seriously using it in production; encoding_rs landed in Firefox in September 2017. Go only gained generics this year, and as for C#/F#, Channable runs and develops on Linux. .NET Core was only a few months old back then. The more serious contender was Scala, which is what the feed processing system was written in at the time.

A big reason for Haskell was that Arian is very skilled in it and we both liked it. But Haskell genuinely was a good choice for a domain-specific scheduler, because you can really concisely and almost declaratively express the core logic. Also, testing with QuickCheck is great (and Hspec, and testing pure functions in general). The application is written with a pure event loop at the core (it doesn’t do any IO inside the loop), which is something that is very natural in Haskell, but difficult to do in other languages unless you are extremely disciplined about it. That in turn makes it possible to very easily and quickly test all kinds of rare corner cases by just writing down a state value, listing events, and an expected final state. We also had QuickCheck synthesize events and test our invariants. Also, what is really nice to do in a GC’d language with persistent data structures where you need an http API, is to have one event loop that publishes a new state to an MVar after every iteration, and make the http handler sample the current value and work with that. That way you can avoid locks so reads from the API never block, and readers don’t block state updates. STM in Haskell makes this a breeze. It is possible to apply this approach in Rust (and I often do because it’s much easier to reason about than locks), but you end up cloning most things, with persistent data structures you get sharing.

I need to buy a house? Taking paycuts is a luxury many cannot afford.

I do get the point, i took a pay cut in my current job. But that was after a long period of unemployment and i had to re skill.

During said unemployment i was under a lot of pressure to take any job, including those, that quite frankly, would have damaged future prospects by depriving me of time and on job knowledge.

But tbh, before i lost my job, i was already retraining myself as i didn’t see much future in where i was going
If you drop a laptop, that's customer error. You break something or do something unintended that damages it, that's customer error.

When you are handed a tool that has multiple hidden guns and explosives inside of it, and ends up blowing your foot off is malfeasance of the people who handed the tool to you.

AWS is that tool. And given that Azure can implement these guard-rails and AWS chooses not to tells me all I need to know.

> Personally I think that much of AWS is "way overpowered" for the normal person/business, and you shouldn't be playing with it if a $X0k bill would be impactful (as likely other solutions are much better tuned to your needs and money).

Hi HN! I’m Rahul, an engineer at Fig, and I led the development of Dotfiles.

Our goal was to build a structured editor[0] for shell dotfiles - with a keyboard-driven editing experience that is as fast as a traditional text editor, while offering more guidance.

We built this because in the process of onboarding users to autocomplete[1], we saw first-hand how much difficulty many developers have managing their shell configuration.

Once you get the hang of it, editing configuration files, like your .zshrc or .bashrc, unlocks a lot of powerful customization. However, there is a substantial learning curve.

When you manage your dotfiles using Fig, your development environment follows you across devices, operating systems and even between different shells. Any changes you make sync automatically. And, if you want, you can easily share your shell configuration - aliases, environment variables, scripts & more - across your entire team.

I’d love to hear what you think about this new approach to dotfiles! This is our first release, so there is definitely room to improve.

PS. Dotfiles is free for individual use and for open-source projects!

The Psion 7 (& Netbook) have IMHO the absolute best keyboards for their form factor. I still use my Netbook for distraction-free writing. It doesn't run on AA batteries but will easily last a couple of days on one charge. At just over 1kg it's effortless to carry about & the shape makes it easy to clutch in one hand. For me it's the ideal note-taking machine.

From the grandparent link: When to replace your eye?

The tissue around the eye socket changes over time, and the eye can become scratched, even with careful maintenance.For these reasons you should replace your eye every three to five years, more often for children.
Especially with people who speak broken English, this is easy to game though. Multiple people could be sitting behind a voice obfuscator and responding to questions as-needed. Inconsistencies are explained as nervousness. Video and voice desync can be handwaved away by poor connection.

You dismiss people who fall for this as bad interviewers but I don't think you appreciate how sophisticated fraud has become-- with teleconferencing (anything internet-based, really), you never truly know you're interacting with who you think you are. You may not find out until they've collected a few paychecks, made copies of all your IP and disappeared into the night.
> You need to document, implement and maintaing hardening, have a process for regularly patching os and apps, monitor logs, have backup and disaster recovery procedures, regularly test the procedures, figure how to implement data encryption at rest, implement high-availability and so on.

Hey, that's not exactly a correct comparison. You don't simply get half of those in the cloud either. Log monitoring and disaster recovery is something you have to figure out yourself, the best clouds have are some foundations to build upon, and possibly - some cookiecutter template that might fit your use case (if you're really lucky it'll even be decent). And you can get same stuff on traditional servers, just with different pre-baked solutions (which also may or may not fit a particular use case and may vary from perfectly good to quite crappy).

People love to brag about all the features (most not needed for your casual website), but somehow no one tells the fact that those features just won't be there when you'll start to use the cloud - because you have to be actively aware that you need them, explicitly enable some, and explicitly spend time learning, setting up and testing others. Unless we're talking about PaaS (and not a "classic" cloud like AWS, GCP or Azure), you still need someone with some sysadmin experience - except that this person must wear a different kind of sweater (with $Cloud logo rather than Tux or Beastie).

All you get is some hardening an OS + managed software (like LB servers and databases) patching. Which is something that's not that hard to do on a self-managed server (well, the software updates part; hardening is a rabbit hole). But not application patching, mind you - that's your responsibility to maintain your app, the very best it can do is to run a security audit (which you can get as a service separately). And even though managed databases are tuned (still a lot of manual tuning to do if you want the engine to truly purr) and maintained they aren't all that fun and peaches the marketing materials say - sometimes you just have to e.g. spin up your own self-hosted PostgreSQL to perform the tricky migration, then replicate it back to a managed solution.

I haven't done regular podcasting in a long time - I recently made a ~40 minute audio program for internal distribution at work and edited it in GarageBand.

Only in theory. In reality, I can't think of any company over the past decade that has seen a reduction in revenues after being fined by some regulator. Can you find even one example of a business actually declining because of some fines?

It's very surprising to see so little mention of race/ethnicity forces in this article, since I understand that to be a large part of the answer to the headline question. There is a gap of a couple years between Americans from Asian, Latino, White, and Black/Native ethnicities (in that descending order). https://nationalequityatlas.org/indicators/Life_expectancy#/...

For Asian- or Latin Americans, life expectancy is comparable or favorable vs respective countries of ethnic background. This remains true for richer countries; Chinese-Americans have a life expectancy of 86.8 vs 85 in Hong Kong and 75 in mainland China.

Meanwhile, Black and Native Americans live several years fewer than other Americans, and (at only 14% of population) account for ~1.6 years of the ~3.4 year life expectancy difference between the US and the G7. White Americans, esp rural, seem significantly worse off than European countries. These differences in racial outcomes seem to persist when controlling for SES: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2849870/

> They then went on to discuss it with (someone related to the medical / testing field in some way) who explained that it's very hard to order a test for; something about there being a limited number of labs that can test for it or some such. And doctors needed to justify the test and would likely be on the phone for an hour just to get it ordered. As such, a lot of doctors just... won't, because it's such a commitment of time/effort to do so.

The doctors need to explain this to the patients then, but that's probably also too much effort for them.

There's a WordPress plugin that adds support for SQLite as an alternative to MySQL.

The implementation is (to my mind) simply astonishing: they run regular expressions against the SQL to convert it from MySQL dialect to SQLite! https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db/blob/9a5604cce13...

I'm amazed that this works, but apparently it works really well. I would expect it to break the moment it ran into a WordPress plugin that executed custom SQL in a way they hadn't anticipated though.
Because it's not relying on the EME spec. If you want to use Widevine, you have to sign an NDA with Google and use their proprietary spec for it. Exactly like you'd have if EME did not exist.

The EME spec only documents how to use a "Clear Key" scheme that is a complete trash defeated in 1 line of code, and of course not allowed by any website with DRM.

The EME spec says nothing about Widevine or any real-world DRM API. The CDM side, that does 99.99% of the actual work, is not documented in the EME spec. It's only a hypothetical construct alluded to in the spec, but not an actual API. The actual browser implementations don't even use the architecture outlined in the EME spec. Almost all of the EME spec is non-normative, or for the decoy Clear Key non-DRM.

EME is like a spec that says Adobe Flash is <object type="application/vnd.adobe.flash" />. There, Adobe Flash is now an open web standard. You have everything you need to handle .swf files without plug-ins, except the content playback module, which is a detail left for each vendor to figure out.
Looks like more fossil-fuel promotion FUD.

CO2 to methanol is energetically uphill. This is going to take energy to do. A lot of energy.

It's likely to be insanely wasteful of energy, like using solar power to make electricity to crack water into hydrogen so the hydrogen can be burned to make electricity. That's about 40% efficient, nobody does it, but it's used as a talking point.

Producing energy without generating CO2 is now both easier and cheaper than trying to do something with the CO2 from burning fuels.
