He does get some basic macro facts very right - stuff that gets overlooked in most analysis.

It is true that America has no immediate physical threats, that it has vast tracts of incredibly fertile land, that its demographics are healthier than nearly all of the developed world’s, and that its gigantic landmass makes it easier to build out solar and wind power capabilities.
Yeah, we seem to have gotten better at this by using noSQL databases with one big JSON object for each item instead of relational based on OOP objects.

What I do in these cases is link back to the docs in question format, e.g. "have you tried [link to relevant docs page]". Puts the ball back on their court and kinda puts them on the spot for not doing due diligence without coming off too passive aggressive.

On occasion, I had to also explicitly spell out "please include error messages, expected and actual behaviors, repro steps, what have you tried, etc" as a response to a question in slack chat. Some people just lack self-awareness.
>There is almost no amount of physical activity that can offset excess consumption.

Very odd statement to make without quantifying how much "excess" there is in the "excess consumption". If walking a couple extra hours a day on vacation burns (say) 500 calories, that's a pretty large buffer of extra food you can eat - a 20% increase if you're eating 2500 calories per day. But of course a determined glutton can out-eat this.

Ask HN: Anyone having issues with job applicant fraud?
In the past month we've seen a dramatic, seemingly coordinated, increase in engineering applicants whose resumés and backgrounds appear qualified, but who refuse to use their cameras during Zoom interviews and who often can't answer specific questions about their backgrounds. We've wasted a significant amount of time on comms and interviews with over a dozen of these candidates. Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

> I do think that the threat of industrial action and withdrawal of labour is an essential tool for workers […] That extends to unions, in the sense that workers can band together, negotiate collectively, and withdraw their labour en-masse.

I agree with you on this statement. I don’t think we agree about something a little more representational regarding the union as an agent of the individual worker.

The reason I pointed to the union agreement clause was to point out the dependency in the logic that the court published. The court is requiring action on the part of the individual because the court perceives the individual workers to be operating as a collective, which the court recognizes as “the Union.” The Union is contracted with “the Employer” such that the individual actions, as a collective, are in violation of that contract.

The court order includes threat of contempt of court, but the order is to stop individual action which is only in violation of the union contract. I don’t understand how you’re walking around that aspect.

The horse is thoroughly out of the barn on this one, but "an Entity Component System" is a misnomer similar to referring to "a Model View Controller". Sometimes it's written as "Entity-Component-System" to clarify that "entities", "components", and "systems" are all concepts within the ECS architecture.

While you can implement message passing on top of any language, as you said, I was talking about doing message passing under Smalltalk-80.

There are non messaging parts in Smalltalk-80, like assignment. The Self variant of Smalltalk goes quite a bit further in using message passing for everything.
My random guess which should be taken with a grain of salt is there is some kind of workaround based on the fact that the original vaccine and this are both under the EUA.

Context info: FDA approved one of the original vaccines (Pfizer I think?) but the approved version has never hit the market because the approved version comes with liability. Literally no one has access to the approved vaccine, only the EUA one. If the EUA version harms/kills you then you can't sue anyone.
Oh my god I feel so seen right now!

I'm in a similar position, and it is an incredible struggle to convince people to raise their head up from their work and think about the context in which they are doing that work.

I've generally treated obnoxious bug reports as being my fault, in that the API or interface I've shipped is not sufficiently obvious. In that light, they're a good source of insights on possible new features or design tweaks. All the same, it's demoralizing as hell to see that onslaught of laziness from your coworkers.

Lest we forget that the existence of "tech" companies, i.e., commercial websites that do not sell anything to their visitors, is a teeny-tiny blip in the history of information, almost indistinguishable unless one is right up close to it. We are literally living in that blip, so our perspective is, for lack of a better term, severly nearsighted.

Are you ok with prohibiting the spread of Islam?

Islam is incompatible with tolerance. Women's rights, depictions of Muhammed, etc.

If we accept the paradox of tolerance you must either be anti-Islam or the paradox is broken.

The fix is not new and is older than the paradox of tolerance: your rights end where mine begin. You have a right to write and speak what you will - I have a right to not listen. I do not have a right to stop speech I find offensive. Islam has a right to exist and take offense, but it may not use violence or law to get it's way.

When you lose the one you have.
Labor is at an inherent disadvantage numbers of people equal.
It’s not primarily about bugs, it’s about everything constantly changing, from UI, look&feel to how features work. This is a constant cognitive load to users, a perpetual need for them to readjust to the changing software. As a result, the software never feels finished, doesn’t feel solid, and often appears not to be well thought-out. This gets in the way of the “it just works” the user wants, in a major way.

The argument is not against enhancing and improving the software, it’s against delivering a “draft” (as you say) to end users, it’s against constantly changing the design and working of features. Delivering a “draft” (or prototype) is only acceptable for beta users, or in an initial design phase involving the future users in the design process. It is not acceptable for released software intended for productive use.

Users want stability. They want the software to get out of their way as much as possible, to be reliable and unsurprising, to remain working in the familiar way.

Says who? By the way, Keffal's hard drive was confiscated in the Canadian police raid. It was immediately after they took this drive that Keffals fled the country.

>Keffals shares information on informed consent clinics and safe sources of HRT supplies. This is not illegal.

They specifically encourage minors to buy blockers, hormones, and needles online with Bitcoin from sketchy labs, and to self-dose behind the backs of their parents and doctors. Keffals' close friend Bobposting, who together with Keffals runs the "DIY HRT directory," has bragged about sending minors controlled substances via the mail; this is expressely illegal. See link in my parent post for details.

>The money is going to be used to sue the police department that swatted her. Suing a police department is very, very expensive.

I look forward to news of this nonexistent lawsuit. The police chief in question has made strong public statements about officers' videotaped conduct.

>Call it a false flag if you like, but I'll trust Occam's Razor on this one.

Occam's Razor means something different for people like Keffals who have a history of lying, theft, manipulation, and doxing and harassment of others.
> I see more that as a consequence of a failure of the US to legislate hate speech.

What’s considered “hate speech” is completely arbitrary and liable to change depending on who is in power. There’s untold “hate speech” against Christians, straight white males, wealthy people etc - where does it stop and why is criticizing one group of people “hate speech” and another not?
Weeeelp… I See both sides of this. There’s some things you anticipate to go wrong, like a disk being out of space, or an API to not respond. Those are the type of things you can (and should strive to!) provide meaningful error messages for.

But then, there’s also that class of things that fail in exciting and unexpected ways: a bit randomly flipping in memory, a cable detached in an untimely moment, a missing system library that was there when the program started… you cannot enumerate all things that may fail unexpectedly, hence the only viable solution is to have a special case for those - „Unexpected error“ doesn’t sound wrong from that perspective.

Still, it’s completely useless to the human in front of the machine, so there’s that.

Finding KiwiFarms posts that currently dox a user are going to be hard, because now that the site is under increased scrutiny from the public there is likely to be an attempt from moderators to remove posts. We can clearly find posts however that doxxing has been part of the sites history for years.

For example, this post contains an address:

People in the Apple ecosystem use the Find My app. Tight knit groups of women, loose knit groups of guy friends, all the way to significant others, parents to children, children to parents, you name it.

Its gotten to the place where people don't even communicate addresses, and if you don't know to look at the stalker app to meet up with them, you'll just be left out. Its ironic that saying it that way still comes across as problematic (your boyfriend/parent asked you to share your location!??!?) but its very common and very benign.

You can stop sharing at any time and the recipients just shrug it off like "yeah that's understandable"
Selecting Machine Learning Models
Sodium acetate has a heat of fusion of 289kJ/kg and a price of around $400/tonne

For low grade heat you can just store it directly using some black pipes at $5/kWh of storage skipping the electrolysis and the pv steps.

That port was the reason I learned to solder and how photocells worked. I put two photocells on the paddle pins and wrote programs on my Atari 400 that used the light levels to do things. I think the original project was in Antic Magazine. It was about recreating a sound device used in 50's scifi films. I used it later to detect if the someone was in the hall during a summer program to give us a bit of warning. Fun projects that are pretty damn hard with USB and modern programming.
I will up you by saying that even your prediction is silly, for using the word "lifetime".

Not lifetime. Right now. Just one week of StableDiffusion in the wild has seen the development of many clients, GUIs, optimizations, plugins for commercial software, editing workflows, the list is endless.

The speed of it all is dazzling. It will not take long before this is assembled into a smooth experience that runs everywhere, with obvious end state being your phone.

And that's still just artistic image generation. The open sourcing of it means people can make any vertical, precisely optimized for a particular (commercial) domain.

Almost all shortcomings seem to be crushed in no time. Bad at drawing eyes? Here's a new encoder that fixes it.

The creator of StableDiffusion indicated to soon tackle music generation and if I remember correctly, even poetry. And there's 3D and video.

The ultimate end state: if you can imagine it, it can generate it. Not only are we much closer to that point than society realizes, we're also moving at an exponential speed towards it.

That is not my claim; they don't operate any DDoS-for-hire sites. My claim is that their "free speech, we won't shut them down" claims are utter hypocrisy when they do nothing to shut down their support for DDoS-for-hire sites, the ultimate (on the internet, anyway) anti-free speech perpetrators.

You only ever hear about it when he gets high profile cases wrong.

When my project was targeted by him, he ended up going down some conspiracy rabbit hole and doxed all the wrong people. This forced me to issue a correction - mission accomplished, I guess.

During his "investigation" he accidentally sent an email that was meant for his business partner to some of my friends. It offered a glimpse into his sensationalist mindset. I don't have much respect for that guy.
Please, people. It's bonkers to jump from fruit fly results to humans.

Before you take any drug chronically - particularly something KNOWN to block a gene cascade receptor - be sure there are good studies (sufficiently powered, peer-reviewed, phase-III studies in humans with actual endpoints and significant positive results).

And be sure the "researchers" you're relying are not just PhD's or retired doctors regurgitating dubious studies.

Remember: the essence of a good scam is that it is partly true.

Readers will get more longevity from walking instead of reading these studies. Avoiding toenail fungus will improve your lives more. Those have real data behind them.

I don't think the system should even care for these externalities because they will eventually balance out across a player base and the net effect should be zero(everyone will eventually play against a team with a drunk person on it). But it creates a prolonged cycle and general frustration amongst the player base.
Unexpected is an interesting word. This probably means consistency is important, because expected in one codebase could be unexpected in another.

> A messy problem should have a messy solution as that would reflect the problem

I've never heard this expressed before and it goes against my experience. My entire goal is to find a simple solution to a messy problem. I can think of a lot of simple solutions to messy problems. If programming required me to come up with messy solutions to messy problems I wouldn't want to do it. Most programmers like that "a-ha" moment of a discovering a simple and elegant solution to a messy problem.

And just because the attacks aren't explicitly coordinated on the site doesn't mean there's not culpability there... if an 8chan user is radicalized by 8chan and attacks a target suggested by 8chan, that doesn't mean 8chan isn't responsible just because the user didn't explicitly type "yes I am going to attack on Febtober 7th at 2pm".

That's sort of the problem with the whole "stochastic terrorism" thing... there's a transparently thin veneer of deniability for everyone involved, even the leaders. We obviously don't tolerate those excuses when dealing with jihad, you're going to get sanctioned or even bombed even if you're "just their spiritual leader and not actually involved with planning.

There's no reason to with 8chan or KF either.

Which is the most frustrating thing about this document, because CloudFlare is ostensibly explaining why their AUP for hosting services is different from their AUP for security services; but instead of talking about the points of their AUP, they talk about how they don't want to terminate security services just because they feel the content is "immoral or disgusting" or "reprehensible".

They are adopting the same strawman that critics of "cancel culture" believe exists: they are answering the question of "Why don't you cancel security services to people whose content is 'immoral or disgusting' or 'reprehensible'?"

But that's not the relevant question. One presumes Kiwi Farms would violate CloudFlare's Hosting AUP not because they're "immoral or disgusting" or "reprehensible" either (because those aren't stated violations of the hosting AUP) but because it "Is otherwise illegal, harmful, or violates the rights of others, including content that discloses sensitive personal information, incites or exploits violence against people or animals, or seeks to defraud the public."

So the question they should be answering, for each of the AUP violations they prohibit in their Hosting AUP, is why they allow these activities for services protected by their security services:

* Do you, or why do you allow security service subscribers to distribute material that violates intellectual property rights?

* Do you, or why do you protect security service subscribers' ability to publish defamatory content?

* Do you, or why do you protect security service subscribers' ability to distribute malware and control botnets?

And if it turns out you don't allow them to do that, then why would you make a special exception for the last plank of your hosting AUP:

* Do you, or why do you protect security service subscribers' ability to distribute content that is otherwise illegal, harmful, or violates the rights of others, including content that discloses sensitive personal information, incites or exploits violence against people or animals, or seeks to defraud the public?

Those are the activities in question, not whether something is "immoral or disgusting" or "reprehensible". So why the misdirection? Why not answer why you think it's important to provide security services specifically to people that incites harassment to people?

In my opinion, it's because they are overcorrecting and actually favoring groups like Kiwi Farms exactly because they're repugnant and reprehensible, and giving them a special bye that they wouldn't to, say, a revenge porn site. And that's participating and aiding in the targeting of Kiwi Farms' victims.

Your response reads as confusion about my characterization in the first sentence, and then it spends four paragraphs in complete agreement with it. I don’t believe we’re stating different things, although we differ on the belief that the employee action should result in jail time. Further, I think that the threat of jail time for such action, promulgated by your employer and backed by a court, is absolutely newsworthy.
