I worked with the fraud team implementing the security for a real time data ingestion pipeline at a major bank partner. I am a bit more informed on this than the average hn poster :)

It's literally less information versus directly letting them know. One message lets them know you know, and the other doesn't.

> Forcing the fraudster to call if they want more information - excellent.

But there's something else you're not taking into account, which is innocent people who trigger your fraud detection.

>Cussing - doesn’t make a difference either way from an information perspective.

Well it certainly lets the fraudster know you know. A legitimate customer receiving that kind of abuse would be pretty unusual, don't you think?
so is a subscription to appletv or netflix analogous to a landlord? i’m really trying to understand your worldview.
Few people are going to make an insurance claim for a few thousand dollars, especially with what the premiums would be in areas with high crime. It is not a big enough loss to have to deal with filing a claim and then being subject to even higher premiums. You either replace it with your savings, or you learn to live without.
They are obviously not computing pricing this way. Their pricing system applies rules. But they are dumping every possible combination.
If you want to actually deploy AI models, TFLite is still your best option. And for exporting there, you first need things to run well inside regular TF.

Also, I often find myself using the TF data pre-processing pipeline even from inside PyTorch, because it's just so much easier to get excellent processing performance with TF. Not sure why, but PyTorch is in many cases "unnecessarily" single-threaded.
> You're absolutely correct. IMO, the reason is, to a large degree, ineptness of software engineers.

Hmm, software engineers? IMO the culprits are "greedy" managers who didn't like (and still don't like) common libraries, file systems etc. Motto: "It must be my standard, or else ..." Where's the common (license free and secure, encryptable) standardised file system, to exchange data between all platforms, including digital cameras and other gadgets? Where's the graphics API? Java tried to answer some of these questions, but failed miserably IMHO.

My experience: as soon as I learned to use some API or framework, at least two new APIs or frameworks showed up posing as the best thing since sliced bread. Sorry for the sarcasm, but I lost my optimism regarding software development some years ago.

> Most projects will survive, of course, but probably under new leadership or something.

That is called a fork. For the fork to work you need momentum. Historically this did not work really well. And the forks mostly died.

What I do see is that big biz does not like (L)GPL (and absolutely hate AGPL), so they prefer to through their momentum behind BSD (and similar) licensed code. This is how a lot of momentum was focused away from GNU projects (e.g.: LLVM over GCC)
Yeah. Windows and doors open when we're home, typically (with ceiling fans to move the air). We definitely _could_ install whole house ventilation and leave that running, you're right - it'd just need to be done well, so could be spendy.
Great so will you volunteer to support a high rise behind you overlooking your house and backyard, a methadone clinic to your left, and train tracks to your right? Throw in a homeless encampment or two across the road to appease your bleeding heart.

Sorry for being facetious, I sound like a jerk, but there must exist a threshold in willingness to devalue what is typically one's greatest asset and more importantly decrease your quality of life. By all means be as selfless and altruistic as you would like but do not expect everyone else to follow suit.

I sincerely wish those were fictions. I’ve been on the interviewing end of both of those cases. It’s OK (if a bit surprising) if someone’s never used Git before. Maybe they worked at a Perforce or Subversion shop. It’s not OK to be unable to Google “git basics” to figure out how to clone a repo.
This is more a "they don't want the public to know" than law makers. If law makers want that data, they can subpoena it. Companies don't have any sort of privacy rights to prevent governments from pulling their data.

What would happen if meta defied a subpoena? IDK TBH. Perhaps a total shutdown until they comply? IDK if a company has ever defied a congressional subpoena.

This case was about civil liability so the rules are all a little different. Not giving data during discovery generally means adverse inferences are made by the court (IE, this data is so bad that we have no choice but to believe what the plaintiff is saying about it).

Defying subpoenas, though, generally results in contempt and fines. For an individual, that'd mean jail time.

Read the article. It disproves your point completely. The commercial property owner is paying taxes and very high ones at that if it is recently purchased property. Do you know what the rents were per sq ft in SF? They were Manhattan level. SF was collecting on that.

According to your notion, why isn't the town the employee resides also collecting commercial property tax on where the employee works? That town provides services too.
Ah yes, the "but we're not Exxon" defense. You know things are bad when you have to stoop this low.

I only checked the post so far and my understanding was that it uses nix. It is ironic that a tool who sets out to solve the issue of installing external dependencies, needs a preinstalled nix setup.

My understanding was that it uses nix under the hood and the user has no real interaction with this part. But come to think of it it kinda makes sense.
Nice. I haven't really looked into D before but maybe I'll spend some time with it soon.
Often (in this case) burning trash in dumpsters is highly profitable, so they can pay people enough to plug their noses and look the other way.

It's not 'dead' at all, that's what I was referring to. It's not going anywhere either for the remaining usecases.
Pumped storage is in the same category as nuclear. If it's already built then we might as well use it as long as it's not about to collapse, but any new build is probably dubious from a cost benefit angle.

There's some articles going over the numbers for Snowy 2 and it'll probably be a bad investment overall.
Would it actually raise the cost? Yes, a heat pump is more expensive than a gas furnace, but for an all-electric home you save the cost of a gas hookup. Hell, when building new neighborhoods, can save infrastructure costs by not building out gas infrastructure. Also, depending on what kind of heat pump you install it can also function as an AC unit, so you don't need to install separate AC.

Besides, if you're concerned about affordable housing, wouldn't (in the US at least) the first priority be to kill single-family zoning?

> The general public isn’t asking for a hundred gigs, but I’d love to see the baseline rise up a bit. It doesn’t feel like we’ve budged meaningfully here for years. Or is that just me?

While the baseline of 8GB hasn't risen, I do think the floor of what we'd consider "unnecessary" has risen. I remember in 2018 I was building a new desktop and I spent a pretty penny on 32GB of RAM; folks on r/buildapc said that was a waste. Now and days I feel like I've seen a lot of higher end builds that feature 32GB or even 64GB.

Just my 2c; I don't have stats to back this up or anything...

> You do realize odors are VOCs, right?

Odors are caused by some VOCs. Some VOCs have no odor, including harmful ones.

> Ozone destroyed them.

Conclusion:

"... this work shows that for at least some consumer-grade portable air cleaners that claim to remove VOCs from indoor air, VOC removal may actually be minimal, and the air delivered may contain additional VOCs and/or oxidation byproducts, some of which are known to be harmful to human health."

So, you using JavaScript, just like millions of other users, raises the language's profile by usage. He definitely is able to profit indirectly from JavaScript by virtue of being the author of the most used programming language, he can leverage that association to be invited to paid conferences and talks, write books, sit on boards, or any other avenues via association he chooses to employ for economic gain. Making the nuance of direct vs indirect is a false dichotomy
not really? i feel like i'm misinterpreting your response, because it seems obvious to me.

the interview process (the standard one we are talking about by inference, ie DSA LC type interviews where the question isn't representative of OTJ actual skill required, or even a baseline for it, and where the interviewer themself are likely to fail if given a random selection) where, rather than interview for soft skills at all, the focus is on rather arcane "can you cram for an exam" knowledge.

so i'm not following how saying so, is failing any test of soft skills?

Does EU have a right to impose such arbitrary rules on others?

If you don’t want an offer, don’t buy it. Or build your own better product, or provide extended support for android yourself.

EU doesn’t appear to be a fair economic player in the world. Foreign products are heavily taxed and crippled, where I live. If you impose your arbitrary rules on other countries, others do it too, there will be problems.
> VC + focus on business means the consumer stuff dies or gets neglected to the point that it should die. All resources get moved to the high-growth parts of the business once VC enters a company.

At the end of the day, engineers/programmers are the ones who implement these changes. I find it unacceptable that lots of HNers get so high minded about these issues but then go on to contribute to the problem by working at for-profit companies. Nothing wrong with either one, just choose one.

> I mean you can arbitrarily type domain names with common TLDs in and see what happens.

I've always been curious whether any search engine tries to index the "disconnected web" by just war-dialing domains/IPs like this.

> To some degree, DNS is a broadcast system for discovery.

Sadly, there's no real way to build a "DNS spider." You could if you could send DNS AXFR queries for arbitrary zones; but DNS servers mostly don't respond to these without authentication.
This is mitigated by the fact that rivers are attractive places to live, so the odds that a target of conquest is on a navigable river are fairly high.

Another cool website that I came across a few days ago is https://vdo.ninja/ (create reusable invite option) which also uses the HTML camera APIs to connect your mobile phone to OBS.

Kudos to whoever made this free site and also the modern browser tech for making this possible.

You spent well over 100k and recovered 50k.

If you were also compensated for your legal expenses in the process, then sure "don't be intimidated" is a calculated risk.

If you didn't, then it seems like you are a loser either way and should just encourage customers not to pay with PayPal. Sharing the story with your customers and other developers does more damage to PayPal than fighting.

I've used PasswordSafe for some years. My only complaint is I'd like a way to access the user, pass and notes in a view-only mode without editing so I don't accidentally trash something.

I switched to KeePassXC on one of my laptops and it seems OK but requires more clicking to access and autotype a username and password. I haven't switched on any other devices. Still undecided.

So long as the law doesn't violate constitutional or federal legal protections, states get to pass whatever laws they like, no matter how onerous. There is no "narrow governmental interest" test facebook can argue to eliminate a state law. They have to argue that somehow their federal rights have been violated.

States rights and all.
Interesting point that RAM has basically not moved up in consumer computers in 10+ years... wonder why.

The article answers its own question by pointing out SSDs allow better swapping, bus is wider and RAM is more and more integrated into processor, etc.

But I think this misses the point. Did these solutions make it uneconomic to increase RAM density, or did scaling challenges in RAM density lead to a bunch of other nearby things getting better to compensate?

I'd guess the problem is in scaling RAM density itself because performance is just not very good on 8gb macbooks, compared to 16gb. If "unified memory" was really that great, I'd expect there to be largely no difference in perceived quality.

Does anyone have expertise in RAM manufacturing challenge?
Ok, so the bill itself[1] talks in terms of pay scale, but the section itself is "salaries and wages". In tech and finance (where compensation disparity is significant) a large part of annual compensation is in non-salary/wage form - it's stock and bonuses, etc

In assembly you also have meaningful labels for branch destinations and routines in the program and global variables. Named constants for offsets into tables, bitmasks, and such. The original assembly language source could greatly ease reverse engineering, especially if it uses good naming.

Some assemblers have macros; it's much better to be able to read the macro invocations than their assembled expansions.

I stumbled into this bug in a rather spetacular manner.

I was making a game using D3D, Lua and Chipmunk physics, and some of the behaviour of the game was being odd.

So I started to try printing random stuff with Lua, eventually I just tried: print(5+5), and to my surprise my console outputted "11".

I went into Lua's irc channel to talk about this, and everyone said I was nuts, that the number was too small to trigger precision issues, that I was a troll and so on.

After a lot of searching I found out about this D3D bug, so I switched the game to use OpenGL instead there it was, 5+5 = 10 again!

Now why fiddling with the FPU could make 5+5 become 11, I have no idea.
Seems not. I've changed the URL above to a nature.com article with that title. Submitted URL was https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-02246-1, which appears to be ephemeral.

Thanks!
I'm skeptical:

1) Your performance chart starts right after the 2009 bear market and includes a huge bull market run up until the current slowdown where it then starts to match SPX. The straight line up until the drop starting in 2021 suggests that your model may not perform so well in the future.

2) You don't include the penalty from all the short term capital gains taxes you're generating.

3) If you can really generate those returns you wouldn't need to sell market timing signals.
