That's why in fields where this isn't uncommon you drill and drill and drill your response until it becomes second nature. If you don't comply you are still an American citizen. CBP cannot deny you entry for any reason (yet). However, they can make your life hell for as long as legally possible.

If you are prepared for that then you absolute can and should tell them to pound sand. Just like you should to the police. But standing up for yourself has consequences you may not be prepared for. In both cases, CBP and police, you may be isolated from your loved ones, harassed, interrogated, etc in an attempt to make you crack. The difference, in a "border zone"[1] 100 miles from any border you effectively lose several important rights so the stakes are far, far higher. But, if you are truly innocent, it is worth the time to exercise your fourth and fifth amendment. As long as you present the correct paperwork the officer can't do much. However, they CAN lie. So it's imperative you know your rights to not talk yourself into probable cause.

Yes, I agree with this- for the vast majority of people 10X is enough! Being able to easily pan the image over multiple fields is nice, as well.
The inability to draw realistic humans is indeed strange but the question at hand is compositionality and so drawing a Robot with a top had is indeed more impressive precisely because it's not likely to be in the training data and shows a deeper understanding of the prompt. Presumably the model could randomly regurgitate a person with a top hat on that was seen in it's training data but that's not at all likely with a robot as you yourself said.
It's simply a matter of how many people are affected by jihad vs crusade in the last few decades. This is the first time I'm seeing jihad used in something not associated with terrorism.
"The S&P 500 usually averages 10% over long timescales."

This is a pretty meaningless statement.

6.8% over 10-20 years is certainly a nightmare scenario for most investors and is probably a significant loss against the risk free rate over the same period.

High level: finding the next big meme stocks (which morphed into finding any stock that could increase a lot)

I was pretty late to GME, despite having been on Reddit for a good few years. I started researching what had happened, and where the conversations were taking place just trying to understand where to place myself to be a part of the next one. I ended up checking out the typical r/WallStreeBets and the other big trading subreddits but I always felt that I'd need to devote 100% of my time to Reddit in order to capitalise on any of the information. So I built a scraper to do the heavy lifting for me. That worked well. Then I started trying to find ways to identify the good stocks from the bad. That worked even better. So I turned it loose onto many different social media platforms where people discuss trading.

It worked well enough that I ended up quitting my job to develop it and trade full time. There are still improvements that I'm working on but I think that'll always be the case.

A great proof of concept of this is BBBY last month. Out of nowhere it went from ~$5 to $30. There was no real business reason for this, just rumour and speculation. It won't be the last.

I don't know if links are allowed but if you want to follow along, it's https://feetr.io (unfortunately not accepting any more beta users currently, but all data is posted to Twitter until we launch).

The tech stack is 100% lisp. I use CCL locally, SBCL on AWS. Also, hunchentoot will power the backend when it launches. I mention that because a lot of people have this fear that hunchentoot is slow or something but in my case it's pretty rapid. Of course, make sure you're writing fast code, but it's not the bottleneck that I think people think it is.
This is exactly it one thousand times over. The C64 was a gateway drug and everybody that was 'into it' really was a kindred spirit.

C64 BASIC has ingrained 1 evil in me. "goto"
Atleast once a month I'll be working on some script and I'm stuck but a little voice in the back of my head will say: "a goto would fix this part you are stuck on!" And damn if that doesn't reverberate into the past.

I went the hardware route.
I bought additional hardware for my C64.
First the 1541 (5.25" floppy drive), then the 1581 (3.5" floppy drive), then a 300/1200 baud modem, then a 2400baud modem.

I've been hardware hooked ever since. I'm now a sysadmin working with *nix servers.

I tried programming. I really did. I meticulously copied one of the sample programs out of the back of the C64 manual. It never worked.
2FA should be TOTP not SMS
Deploying wireless networks within legacy building automation systems. Most of these systems communicate through twisted wire pairs routed through the walls - tearing the walls down and upgrading this technology is very expensive and inconvenient. However, wireless Thread-based IPv6 networks can be installed fairly easily and take advantage of the internet technology that's already there, and also interoperate with the existing kit through e.g. a gateway device.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. :-)

Right. Reminds me of a Dan Luu tweet where he mentioned people who used to be idealogically opposed to Amazon eventually joining Amazon with a nice cushy salary.
>Right, same as a police officer who asks if they can "look around" or "ask a few questions". ...But in general you'd be a fool to do so, and you also may say "no"

This is not only a very naive take, its a dangerous one - people have been killed by law enforcement for doing what you are suggesting. Law Enforcement Officers in the US has what is known as qualified immunity. In practice qualified immunity means as long as the LEO says they believed they were following rules (even if they were not), then they can do anything they want to you (including kill you) with little to no personal consequences.

In other words, you can say "No officer, you can't look around without a warrant", to which they can say "I see an object that may be a gun, and you're moving your hand in the direction of your pocket. Stop. I'm afraid for my life, I need to break your car windows and throw you on the street"

It's common enough that a LEO can publicly and slowly strangle George Floyd on the street, recorded and in front of others, and the only notable/unusual aspect is that the police officer was convicted of a crime.

Your rights don't mean shit to cops.
I really miss the early days of Sketch (DrawIt, anyone?)

As a developer it's been a bittersweet journey to see Sketch grow to be so popular amongst designers.

In 2012 I was excited to "buy" Sketch for $50, but I am less enthused to subscribe at $100/year. At this point I'm looking for a more lightweight and longer-lived solution. Figma is a nice alternative but the price is likely only going up from here.
Rock climbing has a history as a technical part of Alpinism. Over time, some people started to enjoy rock climbing more as a sport, and as an end unto itself, instead of just a sub-skill contributing to mountain ascents. Early 20c rock climbing started to break from the traditional siege mountaineering techniques: fixed ropes, jumars, hammered pins, hooks, etriers, nailed boots, etc. Post war, the availability of nylon, aluminium, chrome-steel, and synthetic rubber opened up the possibilities. Modern big-wall, ice, and clean rock styles developed. Chouinard was part of all these scenes, and big proponent of style. He made equipment, put up hard routes, and evangelized. He was one of many founders of modern "clean" style, using dynamic ropes and clean pro, leaving "nothing but footprints.

Many early climbers made their own gear, or bought from a climber who did. But Chouinard (with Tom Frost) really got into it, and improved or invented a bunch of things (e.g. Hexcentrics, the modern ice axe, and then camalots!) that made clean climbing possible and safe(er). Chouinard equipment was from the future.

But then the 80's happened, and the diy hippie scene gave way to the lawyers. Some people (novices, window washers, and other untrained people) died when they failed to secure their harness and fell, and the lawsuits looked likely to sink them. You'll notice the colour warnings and liability label around the double-back buckle these days -- that's from these suits. But, ever classy, he declared bankruptcy, sold the hard assets to the employees, and walked away. The logo and his name was consumed by the lawsuits, so the new Black Diamond logo was born. This image[0] shows two Chouinard logos, and then the BD logo. My old harness has the left logo, and I still have an old fimo earring I made to match. No offence meant to the BD people, but their logo will always be wrong to my eye.

The wiki does an ok job with the basics[1], but it doesn't catch the mood of it. I started climbing in the 80s, coming up in the Yosemite school. We were absolutely scandalized that someone could try and sue when climbing went wrong -- especially for mis-use of the gear. Self-authority was central to the scene. Smarter people than me also knew there would be all sorts of secondary problems, and the battles over access in the next decades often had liability concerns at their core. It was the end of an era.

Perhaps, but what does this have to do with the situation you are responding to where the person WASN'T doing that.

As sibling comments have said already, rights must be defended, and clear eyed prep is a big part of the answer for individuals. Even just thinking it through a bit, while you have time.

>That sounds great

How does having your property confiscated for days/weeks and being arrested sound "great" to you? It's not great, it stinks. For some people it could even be ruinous. But it's also legal reality. Every single "right" your or I or anyone has came out of blood. Lots of blood. Blood, sweat, tears, money, activism, power both soft and hard. The entire reason the ACLU exists at all is precisely that rights don't auto-enforce and must be defended, that's literally their raison d'etre. When they say US Citizens have an absolute legal right of entry but that exercising it may result in significant inconvenience or cost they aren't wrong. All of society as well as individuals need to work with that tailored to their own situations.

>but when a few power hungry workers with guns are breathing down your neck in a small room you can't get out of, the rules aren't going to make you feel 'safe'.

And? What does "feeling safe" have to do with this? And it's precisely because we're "in comfortable chairs" that it's the best time to go over our rights and consider ways to protect them both at the overall political level and individual level, rather then once we're in the hot seat. Preparation is worth a huge amount. If you know both your rights and the practical risks, you can do things like simply carry a minimal phone/computer, load and reload with a VPN at your destination. Make sure trusted contacts know all your travel plans and status. If you're carrying sensitive data for a corporation or government, check in with your legal department, HR etc. That's literally a core strength of a big organization, that they can have powerful specialists of their own vs leaving it all on their employees. At the political level, when was the last time you actually wrote your Senators and House Rep? If you're outraged and feel at risk, the bare minimum is telling them that. It adds up. Even if one gets a canned reply they absolutely pay attention to volume on an issue, and on a sliding scale. People who are angry enough to actually go to the trouble of writing or even calling are presumed to represent some number of people angry enough to maybe vote in opposition or stay home on election day but can't be bothered to write or don't know to.

I think the saddest part of the Figma acquisition isn't the possible death of a tool I enjoyed using, it's the death of my interest in learning more about design.

I have been an engineer for many years and started to do more design work with Figma. I even enrolled in a design bootcamp. Figma inspired me a lot and sparked an interest in design.

This acquisition has killed it for me.

This program predates Biden. The fact that the Biden administration is cooperating with the senator (a Democrat) suggests the Biden administration doesn’t support the program very strongly.

Most of this stuff was enabled by the patriot act, which was pushed through by George W Bush. Also, the Republican controlled Supreme Court recently ruled it is legal for states pass laws that explicitly ignore vote tallies moving forward.

If you want the US to be a democracy moving forward, I suggest you watch Biden’s Sept 1, 2022 speech. It touches on these issues.
So maybe we don't want all the rich people? And we probably want some of the poor people. There is a shortage of all sorts of labor afterall.

The real issue is that there is no good way to verify the identity or non-criminal nature of any of the migrants. You can create a solid ID at the time of entry and start tracking there at least.
I'm currently working on a file indexer for my pet project tonehub[1] (an audio API like navidrome or audiobookshelf). I thought this is gonna be an easy task, but after running into a lot of problems it turned out that this is indeed an interesting problem to solve. Just to name a few problems I ran into:

- Performance: How to scan files as fast as possible?

- Tag-Storage: How to store audio tags as generic as possible?

- File-Watchers: How to prevent fully indexing the filesystem over and over again and only react to changes?

- File-Sources: How to manage multiple file scanners as efficient as possible?

- Cancellation: How to cancel running tasks, when File-Sources are removed?

- Moved files: How to not lose all customized information (rating, playlists, playcount, etc.) when a file gets moved to another place?

- and many more :-)

>>but if you're not actually gaming them, then that's their problem.

Is it? They have almost infinite time and money, they can follow false leads and accusations almost indefinitely, and whoever makes that decision will never be met with any kind of consequence for making the wrong call. However sitting in a cell somewhere while they wait for you to give them information that doesn't exist definitely sounds like your problem not theirs.
I’ve been learning Italian for a few years and one thing that’s frustating is searching for words I don’t know. Italy has a lot of local languages/dialects that influence regional variants of Italian; it’s common to see dialectal words enter the mainstream Italian language. The largest dictionary, Treccani, is very good but often misses words that are either too recent / vulgar / dialectal.

There are various other big dictionaries and websites specific to different dialects, but I don’t want to have to search on each of them by hand.

I’m currently working on a meta-dictionary, which is a fancy name for unique search engine for all the dictionaries I can find out there. It’s not finished but so far it works great; I use it almost daily.

I started with Phoenix (Elixir framework) and Svelte to learn them but I ditched Phoenix because it was a hell to work with how implicit things are there (no import; just assume that variable is defined "somewhere") and went back to a very basic Python Flask app that serves an API for Svelte.

Nothing very fancy on the tech side but it’s interesting to deep dive in the languages of Italy and learn a lot of things about both Italy and linguistics at the same time.
Looks great but seems to be competing with Sketch. Figma's appeal was being cross-platform; that's hard to beat.
Tell HN: npm is making 2FA mandatory for accounts with high impact packages
Seems like a good thing overall. I already had 2FA on, so it won't really affect me. They said it won't apply to automation tokens.

They define high impact as "packages with more than 1 million weekly downloads or over 500 dependents."
Sure seems like they will, but it will probably take a month or more to find out if they will try.

In the meantime, Adobe gets to see the inside of Figma, poke around the code, etc? I wonder if that is the plan: Suck up as much information as possible before the regulators shut it down. Sorry, it's not our fault we can't give you $50 billion and have you join the team...
And I'm still waiting for someone to explain how that works with employer gear.

I'm guessing my corporate compliance team will not be pleased if I tell them someone made copies of all the companies data...even if it is uncle sam.

Like what does one do in that situation? Can't really agree. At the same time US border staff is not known for their understanding nature when it comes to saying no.
Wait, I've used Klarna (not via Edge) and I've never paid any interest rates or fees. You just select Klarna as payment method and then you have 45 days to settle the bill.

I've even been overdue on a bill (I forgot about it) and they just sent me an email asking to pay, still no fees.

Of course if I had continued to neglect the bill, fees might have started kicking in at some point, but that's no different from any other postpaid service.
Pre-modern world having no borders is what gave birth to immigration into the said country & other parts of the world which got colonized over time. Kinda hypocritical to suddenly have everything closed up. Who knows maybe space travel or resource scarcity is what unites all countries centuries down the line.
> The setting was written in 1996 with Mahoutsukai no Yoru/Kara no Kyoukai.

Still three years after Mage was published.
It's the principle, this was the first time in 17 years anything threatened Adobe and honestly Figma could have destroyed Adobe within 3 years with the right focus.

Figma threw every single artist and designer in the world that does 2D work under the bus when they could have saved us all and built better tools.

Actually I'd go beyond saying it's the principle, actually now it's personal all the money I spent on Figma, all the hours I spent pushing Figma in organizations and building our workflows around it has just gone to strengthen Adobe's grip on my livelihood.

This might sound dramatic but imagine for a moment how you'd feel if you could only work within your industry if you used VSCode, it was closed source and it cost $60 a month and the only chance of fighting against that had sided with the enemy.
Then what is an acceptable answer if you really have not brought your main phone?
