When I started at Microsoft, this exact scenario happened. I was told I couldn’t automate things because there was no time. I did it anyway, and a 3 person job suddenly became an extremely part time job for one person.

It blew my mind that anyone at Microsoft, of all places would have this mindset.
Downvoted because the sarcastic bent of the comment makes its actual intended meaning somewhat unclear.
Don't worry. People who can actually paint will mercilessly attack the insecurities of anyone who is too serious about prompts. The artists hardly made money before and the AI will just take more off the table. All they (we) will have left is spite.
You are basically asking for a native OS app, which the web cannot match.

But users demand them anyway on the web so here were are.
That is why I asked if we would be able to detect it. Perhaps there are larger sources as well, no contradictions here.
Thank you for your work!

Yeah I haven't run into the 2FA issue yet, but probably will. Is there any docs about this 2FA issue I can read (other than the short doc on amazon.com)?

Thanks,
Yep, nonsense as far as UX and actual information organization. It's not a forum. And it wasn't designed or used for that from the get-go due to being primarily for gaming situations. But a symptom of certain generations lack of attention and obsession with memes and stuff means they've gravitated to it and somewhere a bunch of similarly minded coders and stuff started using it for open source projects etc and of course the plague of crypto, so now we're here. That generation's/gamer-warped minds are so only focused on now that everything flying by and losing anything that was talked about 2 hours ago isn't important. Their whole lives are ephemeral - from how they consume information, to how they consume culture. No history. No future. I avoid it at all costs as there's usually other avenues like twitter, github discussions, HN too of course.

This complaint or descriptions of this experience and Discord and other platforms use comes up around here anytime someone asks 'what happened to forums' or why are we using reddit and stuff to answer questions etc.
> ISPs are actually more transparent and their business model does not fundamentally relies on exploiting customer data.

And yet they do, largely because many people _can't_ vote with their dollars. I can move which VPN provider I use. Also, VPN's are a big benefit on filtered wifi if that's something you have to deal with.
The thing is, people and corporations saying they don’t really want to hear or spread bull shit isn’t censorship. It’s basic social contract/etiquette and a right. I have the right to hit “block user” - does this mean I’m censoring someone? If not, where is the distinction drawn? If yes, well, that’s a hell of a slippery slope…
Any word on official ECC support?

(And I don’t just mean it can use the RAM, I mean for it to gain the actual benefits of ECC)
They have Go and Rust disassemblers as well. The Go one is interesting because it shows the Go IR.
But that makes people no longer equal in the eyes of the law. A better solution to that problem is to make sure there's some non-monetary component to the punishment too, e.g., towing the car, which then takes time and inconvenience to retrieve, or community service for worse things than parking tickets.
So like 5 years ago when the ryzen came out and made 8 cores accessible to the masses, you didn’t get a little tingle of excitement at the sudden competition?

There's been some development in this area; the first system you describe is known as 'liquid democracy' -- a direct democracy where anyone may delegate vote(s) to anyone else under under chosen criteria. The association with open-source and related movements is indeed present, a notable implementation being LiquidFeedback, originally developed for the pirate parties ~2010.
In many places in the US, and indeed other countries, the "stop line" can be worn almost completely away, or a road just repaved may not yet have one.
No-one's saying that online rental should be banned.

Instead, the solution that the USA's current legal system is going with is "You _can_ run an online rental service, as long as you have the copyright owner's permission (e.g., you have a contract with them in which you give them money and they give you their permission)"
That's interesting. I will add that feature next.

Meanwhile, you can sign up for an account and send articles using the main product (the browser extension).
Possibly true, but can we at least agree that a democratic majority deciding to censor something is significantly better than a dictatorship deciding to censor something?

Well, I have a blog post regarding audits: https://patrakov.blogspot.com/2020/01/vpn-privacy-policies-a...

In short: auditors audit providers against their own privacy policies. If there is a loophole, the result, with some auditors, might still be a legitimate "pass" - e.g. because exfiltration is not logging, and the privacy policy says only "we don't log".

P.S. Mullvad's privacy policy falls into the same bucket: "we never store any activity logs of any kind". Sending data to a third party who stores it would be 100% compliant. Mullvad, please fix the wording.
Colleges never did and never would assume risk. Tuition must be paid upfront, or you don't get to attend class.

The issue is whether the student loan risk is taken by the federal government or by the banks. Banks take risk, colleges don't.

It's not clear, however, whether the removal of loan guarantees would reduce tuition, or whether it would just reduce the number of students who attend college. That depends on how the banks evaluate risk, and how much interest they get to charge.

The primary factor that kept tuition in check in the past is that state universities are run by state governments, and an overriding goal of state universities was to provide access to those universities to residents of the state. This is why in-state tuition is typically much cheaper than out-of-state tuition.

However, in recent decades, state government support of state universities has waned, and the overriding goal of providing affordable access has fallen by the wayside.

The same factors do not apply to private universities, of course. But state universities are competitors to private universities, so the tuition at state universities provided some check on private university tuition too.
BLOOM also doesn’t have GPT-3’s RLHF tuning, so anyone who tries to ask it questions or give it instructions in the manner GPT-3 supports will be disappointed. You have to k-shot prompt it or fine-tune it yourself for it to be useful.
The Hunter Biden laptop story wasn't suppressed by the US government? Zuckerberg was on Rogan recently explaining that the FBI told him the story was Russian disinformation and Facebook took that to mean they should suppress the story and they did. Presumably something similar happened to Twitter and possibly other platforms. If memory serves former intelligence officials do go to mainstream media and say the story was fake. In what sense is this not government suppression?
> Amazon have one of the most customer friendly refund policies and always offer a refund or replacement- obviously because they are just pushing it on to their sellers but still, they do.

With an open season of friendly / chargeback fraud, customer lies, refund tricks, etc which customers keep doing every day and so on which too many of that and Amazon will ban your account and they should.

It's 2022. The world is on fire. I'm getting older and less patient.

If a state or other entity passes an internet bill I think is unconstitutional or otherwise infringes upon my rights as both a web user and web developer, I'm simply going to ignore the "law" and continue on, business as usual. Sue me. The curtain is falling. I can't be assed to care. California is beyond arrogant if they think they can pull this off.

Before I get roasted, GDPR is mostly a good thing, even if its implementation has made browsing the internet worse and more annoying, at least I have legal avenues for deleting my data that didn't exist before. But this is case by case. Supporting GDPR doesn't mean I should support SESTA and ilk.

Alpha zero used 5000 TPUs to generate games (inference only), and 16 to train the networks.

Plaid also allows its customers to scrape 24 months of transaction data from bank accounts, and gain a constant stream of data about ongoing transactions from the bank account.

It’s a very intrusive data-mining service that should not be trusted with bank account credentials, at-least if you care about data privacy.

Change your bank account password, and you may even see Yodlee (like Plaid) trying to login to your bank account every night to scrape daily transaction data based on some ’bank verification’ you previously gave to some app or 3rd party.

Can I recommend a ThinkPad P series with Linux and some tuning? I've had nothing but good experiences for the most part. The only things I wouldn't recommend is a 4K laptop screen, Lenovo's prices for upgrades, or trying to get good power management in Linux. Make sure your CPU fans are turning when hear goes up or fix thinkfan config and check lm-sensors and don't use hibernate and force sleep mode to old/compatible/S3/other OS/Linux or whatever the option is called for you. Note about windows sleep mode: Microsoft worked with new firmware manufacturers for laptops to include sleep mode that's actually not sleeping but the CPU runs at 400MHz with the screen off. All your apps are still on, your computer is online, and things are happening while you think it's asleep. It uses very little power so actually being asleep or being in this mode doesn't change battery drain too much. However Linux won't play ball and it'll just wake up your computer and drain your battery while heating up your laptop bag. Turn it off.
Some of us are not comfortable with out appearance and our work is not customer facing. You do not need to see my face, your needs to form opinions and assumpions about me based on appearances are what are "weird". I like how other types if profile pics convey the content of a persons character and personality better than their face.

Your sentiment only makes sense if you are customer facing and your face will decieve them into making decisions that benefit you. Still weird but that is how the world is and why sales people are attractive or have a likeable face generaly speaking.
I'm no expert on the US system but it seems to be much better.

From this article.
https://hbr.org/2019/02/to-reduce-emergency-room-wait-times-...

"Patients who arrive at EDs with broken bones wait a painful 54 minutes, on average, before receiving any pain medication."

That sounds like a dream to me. 54 minutes is nothing. My friend's wife waited over 8 hours to be seen after cutting through nerves and tendons in her hand. Then she waited 3 days for surgery. After being seen, the doctors told her not to eat. They told her to drive 3 hours to the next City as the local hospital could not perform the operation. When she got there she waited days. Her husband had driven down with their two toddlers and had was not allowed in the hospital due to Covid restrictions. She was pregnant and went days without food waiting for care. This was a little over a week ago.

I had a suspected aneurysm almost a year ago. I woke up with an incredible headache. I waited over 6 hours for a CT scan. That was a high priority triage. I still waited for hours.

I'm not saying the US system is perfect. I don't even know if it's better but I do know our system is broken.
Without an ad blocker? Nah, it's not a thing. The question you should be asking yourself is what are all these bad sites you're browsing. And of the few that do have some ads and stuff, I don't even notice them in sidebars and stuff anymore, it's not interfering. Stay off of most of the news sites except for maybe like NYTimes. Get your news from shared links (like on HN) and click into pages, and so what if there's a sidebar, why look there -- look at the content!
YouTube isn't a big deal once in a while , skip after 5 seconds, so what. Like what are we talking about here? Twitter? Takes a bit of training it but they're not really int he way (protip also: tweetdeck has no ads). Instagram? Same, there's some but after a bit of 'Don't like this ad' flagging, they're not really there)

I know this is an unpopular take around here but Ad blocker users are super paranoid and impatient I find, and again, why are you surfing so many sites that have ads where they're in the way? The general public could care less about installing ad blockers like freaks. They just need to learn how to choose better content sites.
A lot of self-doubt haha. I got a decent savings so I don't have much financial pressure yet. Also the Twitter indie hacker community is super supportive. That helps a lot.
I’m probably being facetious but I’m guessing whatever his religion is.

Based on his other comments, he’s not worth a discussion with. To dismiss someone’s ideas based on someone’s belief system is the sign of closed-mindedness. And I say that for both religious and atheistic people.
First off, opening a comment with "Hello Troll" has to be the most childish and reddit-like way of opening an HN comment I have ever seen. If you think GP is a troll, you can simply not reply, indeed you are practically obligated by the guidelines not to. Once you reply, you are obligated to at least pretend you take the claims that you reply to seriously.

Secondly, why are you responding to "Those topics are censored" claim with "Here are all the correct answers to those topics that my media tells me to believe"? GP didn't say whether they think there is a correct answer to a topic and what, if any, may that answer be, GP has simply observed that those topics are heavily and nakedly suppressed in legacy media and social media, often with hilarious results (e.g. Instagram banning Cochrane, a medical database of the highest quality, simply for mentioning Ivermectin).

Contradicting GP here would consist of bringing up evidence that those topics were, on the contrary to GP's claim, discussed fairly and found wanting. Talking about correct answers are irrelevant, we're talking about whether all questions and answers are allowed for discussion. Because Americans are often shocked that China hates things they consider elementary and bans them, GP is simply saying their own society frequently and obviously engages in this as well, often with cheering from those self same people.

Third, some of your points about masks are self-contradicting. If the CDC lied about masks once, why wouldn't they lie twice or third or tenth? You would be a fool if you trust a liar after the 1st time, and medical institutions have proven to be thoroughly partisan and rotten and corrupt during the entire crisis, anybody taking a covid-related claim from a medical institution at face value is a prime target for bridge selling.

Another point is that masks come in types, and only very few types protect adequately against the latest covid variants, and the vast majority of people don't buy those types (N95 or KN95) or don't wear them correctly. So masks, as worn in practice, are indeed very close to useless, as evidenced from the fact that they're not predictive of viral spread (i.e the fact that a country's population wears masks has no better than random chance correlation with whether it has lower infections, i.e masks are statistically useless).

This why your correct answers are wrong, at least in part, some of the time. This is why you need to be constantly questioning them, and not rushing to defend the censorship loving institutions and corporations who have no particular interest in you or your well being, and all the interest in Power and Money and Status.

Fourth, why the hell are you bringing up more evidence for censorship as evidence against GP? You're supporting them, not contradicting them. GP never claimed the censorship is done by only 1 party, only that is done. You're arguing for GP's claim while thinking you're arguing against.
I expect the number of tickets induced by supporting Unicode to be a negligible fraction. (I offer no support for this expectation.) Depending on the type of service you’re running, you might even avoid a few tickets from people that might complain about the restrictions, though certainly most of the time people will just sigh and choose something else and not even think of contacting to complain.

No security drawback? You make it harder for people to use the password they want to use. There is a real cost to that, encouraging bad password hygiene. Provided you support at least printable ASCII it’s unlikely to be a significant cost, but it is a cost, and I remain entirely unconvinced of the practical benefits of the restriction.

I was primarily responding to your suggestion that strict social rules around sex were an intrinsically Christian take (or religious in nature).

Beyond that though, Chimps have social hierarchies around sex. It’s hard to imagine why something you believe to be so counterproductive would exist so persistently across cultures and times unless it had serious value.
Zelle can't be undone if it's done from your account. They just take the money.
I feel both sides of this one.

Yes, creating automated processes would make things easier, but the time it would take to automate the process would take too much time before you have to deliver.

So everyone knows what needs to be done, everyone recognizes that it would help things, but no one can put down what they're juggling to handle it.

Sometimes it takes bringing on a person just to take on that project as its own thing to relieve the pressure on the existing team.
> But the point is, I can't draw. We are very quickly going to reach a point where anybody can produce basically the exact illustration they want in 15 min.

Exact is an overly strong word. Suppose you could put onto the page exactly what you thought a pterodactyl looked like. Would you be surprised that there were skilled technicians who could produce much more accurate and visually appealing illustrations?

You may not even know what you actually want, until after you see it rendered by a skilled hand.
But, you don't really care for music; do ya?
The bill does not require face scans nor anything similar. The author of this article wrote another piece claiming that AB 2773 would boost companies that provide age verification products, and someone from a trade group representing age verification providers showed up in the comments to defend their products and used face scans as an example of a method that protects your identity (why they thought that was a good example is a mystery). This is the relevant text in the bill:

>Estimate the age of child users with a reasonable level of certainty appropriate to the risks that arise from the data management practices of the business or apply the privacy and data protections afforded to children to all consumers

That might explain the "on-device" claims. Does Apple have partnerships with age-verification companies, or would it become an age-verification company? Is there a connection between Passkeys (FIDO) and age-verification?
The parent is referring to reversibility without both parties agreeing. I send merchant money from my bank to buy widget. Merchant doesn’t send me widget. Bank can reverse transaction without needing merchant permission. And the buck stops with the courts who can enforce the final action.
Not necessary. As I said, we are not at all a critical service. If we are down an hour, it's not a big deal (like 95% of the rest of the inter-webs). We are not banksters.

If it goes down, we get a page, and we can have it switched by hand in a few minutes.

I guess if our service was super-critical, I would do that, but since it's not, the three of us that work as developers and sys-admins can deal with it very quickly.
It you haven’t seen it, take a look at a movie called “Midnight in Paris.” It does a great job highlighting how each generation find the past to be somehow better than current.

Just replaced the 97 WH battery on my Xps15 for the third time in 4 years, got the battery from third party on Amazon for $50, no issues, and the second battery lasted longer than the Dell OEM battery. Just search for 6GTPY. Not sure what DRM issue you ran into.

Install the Dell Power Manager application as it has very granular controls to allow you to maximize battery life and avoid the swelling issue. Good luck.

A great antidote for illusion of explanatory depth? Writing

As others have mentioned in the thread, you only start to realize how little you know (or how much) about a particular subject once you start putting words to paper. It's a great way to "test yourself" and — as objectively as possible — identify gaps or holes in your knowledge.
M2/GDP is probably more interesting. By that measure things are still quite high vs. historical but has dropped in the last 3 quarters:
