Yes and any reader citing it would be best advised to check the page history and comments section. Teaching that to children would also be a good way of showing and exposing these vandalisms. They might learn to use it better then.

Outright discarding one of the best sources of information humanity has ever created is IMHO just plain wrong. I would understand it if this were people writing doctorates but anything below university level should definitely use it.
It turns out that the organizations with a local monopoly on killing have managed to leverage their market position to gain a foothold in the regulation of basically every other market. We might call this anticompetitive, but looking at places where the market for killing-services is highly competitive, having a single entity responsible for this is probably in consumer interest.
Maybe GP is referring to IBM having an equity stake in Redhat since the late '90s? Or, maybe because they both generate the majority of their revenue via support contracts with the same sorts of customers buying said contracts?
For searching on faces I also needed to find vectors in a database.

I used random projection hashing to increase the search speed because you can just match directly (or at least narrow down search) instead of calculating the euclidean distance for each row.
I’m sure I’m just getting old and this is really neat and useful - but it’s such a shame that everything is now just several SaaSs tapped together. Notion, Retool, Zapier, Google workspaces… I understand the productivity gains, but it points to me at a fundamental failure of technology. We’re all drowning in tech debt and it’s not getting better and most startups spend half their efforts avoiding paying enterprise licensing for basic security features.

One day I’ll come full circle and be a staff engineer / devops whatever who is just as grumpy as all those sysadmins who mentored me a decade and a half ago.
100%. I think the same thing for many technical books.
You're telling me you don't fire off a PHF exploit at random machines just for old time's sake? I was under the impression we nerds could be more honest with each other.
I was thinking about something like this site, but also taking some randomized existing plot outlines to generate specific stills from each part of the plot. Might require isolating character archetypes too?

Great work with this as is!
> * Never use that debit card for anything but the ATM and bank teller authentication. In fact, don't even carry it with you, in case you lose your wallet or somebody tries to take it. Not every bank makes it easy to turn debit card off.

Some businesses only accept debit cards (like WinCo [0]). :-/ I guess you can just not do business with them.

> * For sending money to friends if everybody has iPhones, Apple's Cash functionality is good enough.

I wish... but how do you transfer money internationally? I don't think Apple Cash is adopted abroad yet.

Literally every company I have worked for builds a component UI library. They are boring and catered specifically to the company's branding and needs.

They also grow with every feature iteration. It starts with `<Text />` and `<Button />` and then grows to include `<Toast />`, forms, modals, etc.

If the company is big enough they can make it public and get some attention but I don't see why anyone would use them for their own personal projects outside of the very limited scope of the company itself.
As an HPC sysadmin for 3 research institutes (mostly life sciences & biology) I can't see how cloud HPC system could be any cheaper than an on-prem HPC system especially if I look at the resource efficiency (how much resources were requested vs how much were actually useed) of our users SLURM jobs. Often the users request 100s of GB but only use a fraction of it. In our on-prem HPC system this might decrease utilization (which is not great) but in the case of the cloud this would result in increased computing costs (because bigger VM flavor) which would be probably worse (CapEx vs OpEx)
Of course you could argue that the users should do and know better and properly size/measure their resource requirements however most of our users have lab background and are new to computational biology so estimating or even knowing what all the knobs (cores, mem per core, total memory, etc) of the job specification means is hard for them. We try to educate by providing trainings and job efficency reporting however the researchters/users have little incentive to optimize the job requests and are more interested in quick results and turnover which is also understandable (the on-prem HPC system is already payed for). Maybe the cost transparancy of the cloud would force them or rather their group leaders/institute heads to put a focus on this but until you move to the cloud you won't know.

Additionally the typical workloads that run on our HPC system are often some badly maintained bioinformatics software or R/perl/pythong throwaway scripts and often enough a typo in the script causes the entire pipeline to fail after days of running on the HPC system and needs to be restarted (maybe even multiple times). Again on the on-prem system you have wasted electricity (bad enough) but in the cloud you have to pay the computing costs of the failed runs. Again cost transparency might force to fix this but the users are not software engineers.

One thing that the cloud is really good at, is elasticity and access to new hardware. We have seen for example a shift of workloads from pure CPUs to GPUs. A new CryoEM microscope was installed where the downstream analysis is relying heavily on GPUs, more and more resaerch groups run Alpafold predictions and also NGS analysis is now using GPUs.
We have around 100 GPUs and average utlizations has increased to 80-90% and the users are complaining about long waiting/queueing times for their GPU jobs.
For this bursting to the cloud would be nice, however GPUs are prohibitively expensive in the cloud unfortunately and the above mentioned caveats regarding job resource efficiencies still apply.

One thing that will hurt on-prem HPC systems tough are the increased electricity prices. We are now taking measures to actively save energy (i.e. by powering down idle nodes and powering them up again when jobs are scheduled). As far as I can tell the big cloud providers (AWS, etc) haven't increased the prices yet either because they cover elecriticity cost increase with their profit margins or they are not affected as much because they have better deals with elecricity providers.
This only seems like it started in 2021. Up until then, those arguments were sound. It's worth reconsideration if this is now the trend, but can you really defend the position that you thought those arguments were suspect because you knew banks were going to stop fraud corrections? While simultaneously preferring systems that never had it at all?

Mastering language is difficult for humans. I don't think most people realize how often they just guess at meanings, and how often they are wrong. Especially in spoken language.

Constantly asking for clarification is exhausting and gets you labeled as pedantic and "difficult". So most people don't do it. I'd guess that a fairly high percentage of human communication results in a misunderstanding. This is largely masked by human inaction or ability to disguise their lack of understanding. The AIs have no ego and no incentive to hide their confusion.
Funny how this argument was opposed against libraries in the early days of programming.

Didn’t G+ shut down primarily because nobody was using it (failed to compete against other options)?
> The case, filed in December 2019, revolves around Mr. Schnatter's claim that he was targeted by the Defendants, which then leaked secretly-recorded private comments by Mr. Schnatter to the media – out of context to reverse their meaning – maliciously harming him and the company brand. Defendants' actions resulted in a hasty and harmful reaction by the Papa John's board of directors, forcing Mr. Schnatter out of the company he founded 34 years earlier

That is not the same. He was maliciously ran out of his company. This is a technical roadbump, one that does zero harm to PJ or their reputation either direction. They will write a check.
I recently hired a contractor to do landscaping. We’re talking multiple trees to take down, redoing multiple flower beds, mulch, rock and some sod. I was quoted at ~9k$. I paid half (4500$) via Square using my platinum credit card issued by my CU.

I took a picture of his business license, insurance, and I ended up getting pics of trucks when I took before pictures.

The crew came and worked one day. Maybe completed 30% of the work. For the next two weeks my calls and texts were dodged/unanswered/sent directly to voicemail.

Finally I had enough. I called the police, did a police report. Called the CU explained what happened and was sent an email on how to open a fraud report. I submitted all the before pictures and the “after 30% of work” pictures. I sent the police report, and social media posts of people who claimed to have their money stolen by the same person / company.

3 weeks later I get an email that my claim was denied due to “lack of information.” I spent a total of 31 hours on the phone attempting to get someone to tell me what information I needed to send them or what information they found lacking. I got absolutely no where. No answers. No one from fraud department. No one cared at all. Just denied.

So I went the other route, filed a claim in small claims court. I provided the judge everything I sent to the credit union. Judgement was in my favor. Now he owes me the $4500. How do I collect? I probably will never see the money. I can’t legally garnish any wages. So I’m out 4500. I couldn’t really do anything else to protect myself more.

Navy Federal Credit Union. I’ve been a member since 1991. 30 years with a credit union. I am a military veteran. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of transactions have passed through my account. I’ve had multiple home, auto and personal loans.

I’m still trying to get over it.
Maybe I am in a nostalgic / sad mood but your thread is inspiring me.

As many stated, I don't regret much, it pretty much doesn't belong to my vocabulary. I have made choices with a state of mind, a state of knowledge and a context that explains them. Now I have matured, relieving a moment with 40 years more of experience is not available on the market.

Though this thread could be a trigger for some people in similar moment of their lives.

A few keys things that define me, why they are not purely made of happy consequences, why they also had to happen.

Relationship: my first relationship lasted a super long time. My now ex is a good friend. Though I feel I have skipped on some of my fun time, and I actually broke up because I had to drink from this carpe diem cup. We are still friends, it doesn't help with whatever relationships come after. It feels I am a bit living my life backward. But at that time, this person was the first one that made me feel good / worth loving. And I think that she enabled me to achieve a pretty good high school / university time ... I think I wouldn't have been able to hold without her.

Self knowledge: unfortunately when I read about all your abusive relationships I am scared I am the asshole in them. Anger issues, obsessiveness, no violence but I definitely brought down people I loved in discussions in the past. I have spent a lot of time depressed without knowing it. It took me a shitload of time to aknowledge it and claw back. My key elements have been: doing sport and having a rythm were going to bed at 1am for work everynight is not ok. Seeking help was also a smart thing to do. It took me a shitload of time to figure that. I have destroyed my second relationship by letting work putting me on edge all the time. Positive spin: I think I am decently good at my I do, I think I overinvested but got some payback in skills. I am still struggling with anger issues and not beeing a dick...

Work: younger, someone close in my family told me "go work for a big company you have all the time in the world to start something it will give you money and credentials". I didn't, because nobody in my family really hit the jackpot starting to work for a big one, because not the same times, not the same social background. I had constructed a logic to explain why I would be better starting my own stuffasap. And starting a company in a country that doesn't value risk, has no investors, no mentors... I basically failed for ten years on different projects. Damn I must be somehow resilient or loving the loser game. It was tough, I think that's one of the thing that brought me down (above paragraph), me and my business partner. And I keep seeing this guy I know, he did an internship for a major company, and everytime I hear about him and his projects "he must be good, he has been at X". Now I think I am at a quarter of where I thought I would be at 23 when I was 20, but I have a company that works well and I have learnt a shit load.
scores would be more like:

STAR or score or approval = 5
IRV/RCV = 2
plurality = 0

how i'd approve them in a real election would be based on electability, which would be true with any voting method used in an actual contentious election.
Does this solution (and all of those mentioned in the comment) not risk issues with Notions rate limiting?

Looking at their docs it seems 3 requests per second is the limit, this could easily be reached at peak times for a blog/website with even the slightest bit of traction.
Seems weird to get hung up over the number of words and page. Pretty sure your 200 pages could bore me to death as well.
maybe just.. don't use gmail? if it happens twice then that should tell them something
Despicable attempt to paint this clearly good vs. evil war with a uniform grey paint.

"Oh, it's just a civil war between 3 "brother nations". It not clear who the real real culprit is, and who is the victim."

PS: it's not the laureates who are in the wrong. No, they are all good. It the precise timing and selection of laureates which is scummy.
Ask HN: Do you share your dev clusters?
When developing software in your team, does everyone share a cluster, or does everyone have a separate cluster. Which do you prefer? Anyone have a setup where some parts are shared and some are separate?

By cluster, I mean the servers that are serving the website or mobile application.

I have been asking a few companies and it seems that some small companies (5-10 developers) have one important service that they develop independently like a monolith on one VM/container/desktop. The rest of the services(ingress, load balancer, autoscaler) are just scaffolding to put the SaaS(or some other product) together around that one monolith.
And I am guessing there are other companies where the product is so big (Google Workspaces) that one cluster per developer is very cost prohibitive.

It would be great to know how different companies do it.
Couldn't this plaintext contacts database be encrypted on the server and only decrypted on the client?

It is their legal obligation to reverse illegitimate transfers. Explicitly for ACH, and there's no good reason they should be exempt from this obligation just because the transfer was via Zelle instead of ACH. Which includes a mistaken recipient or amount, even without any fraud.
To trust a personally-created self-signed certificate in Chrome one has to type a shibboleth. There is no visible feedback from typing this string so it resembles a keylogger built into the browser.^1 Suing a website operator over logging keystrokes is a step forward, but we also need to sue to stop a browser vendor from doing the same. Whether Google violates any laws or agreements is for the reader and the courts to decide, but to me this keylogger in the browser is a dark pattern. Firefox uses a visible button.

In the past Google has settled suits brought against it under the Wiretap Act. Some these cases are still ongoing. Google has not gotten the decisions it wants regarding its alleged violation of wiretaping statutes. Courts have allowed them. As early as 2013, where Gmail was the basis for the complaint, a court refused to dismiss all wiretapping claims.
About four months ago, Google was fined $971,000 for discovery misconduct in one of these ongoing cases.

Google claimed Gmail users have "no expectation of privacy".

Account migration is a redirect. Your posts do not carry over, and the experience is pretty clunky.[1] Your name alias is tied to the server you created it on, rather than tied to your identity and all that it carries (posts, data, network effects, followers).

Social networks should have private data and E2EE, plain and simple. And the hosting challenges and centralization is why we are here discussing Mastodon.

> I'd rather live in a world in which effective security measures prevent fraud than a world in which there are weak security measures and endless debates as to who should be blamed when they fail. Regardless of your political stance, I think we can agree that the system is more technicially-broken than it is socially-broken.

But this is a problem of responsibility. Customer responsibility is an O(people) security problem. Bank responsibility is an O(banks) problem. In terms of alignment to fraud mitigation, bank responsibility leads to better technical security because they become the implementers of it to protect their own interests.

From an outcome based perspective banks must be accountable.

> I think understanding the problem in solely in terms of more/less regulation is a bone-headed thing to do.

I don't have a more/less regulation perspective. I have a correct/incorrect regulation perspective.

> People turn to cryptocurrency, not because it's more private/secure/etc but because it is the most private/secure/etc system that works without the permission of the big rent-seekers.

But it isn't. It might be more secure because the average crypto holder is more savvy, but in terms of security properties, I wouldn't let my mom have a crypto wallet, and without a direct wallet, I don't see how crypto has different properties than a bank (an entity making transactions on your behalf), the interface is the same, but the implementation details are different. No?
I use Notion as our site/blog/content CMS as well, and we use it to coordinate data in our microbiology lab.

We use Notion bc they have a great text writing interface, most of the people we work with are researchers and don't know how to write Markdown, etc. So they either write in Notion or I just paste their Word doc into Notion and it works great.

Whenever there's a new content, I pull all the content from the Notion API and build it into a static Sveltekit site served on Vercel. Everything is super fast. For those saying if Notion goes down or shuts off API access one day, we'll just fall back to the "normal" ways of writing content, all of which are worse UX for both me and the other people writing content.

> Still, it’s impossible for me to shake the feeling that [Gary Marcus] just likes to hear himself talk and doesn’t want to see progress in AI.

He says he wants to see progress in AI. He wants people to get their heads out of the neural network cul-de-sac and use other tools, too. His quote:

"Imagine a world in which iron makers shouted “iron,” and carbon lovers shouted “carbon,” and nobody ever thought to combine the two [to make steel]; that’s much of what the history of modern artificial intelligence is like." [1]

An adjustment will happen when the limitations of these purely statistical methods play out and burn a few self-driving car investors. Unfortunately, it will also probably taint the entire field of AI and start another AI winter for a decade or so.

this is obviously false. simply consider that green party supporters usually vote democrat. with score or approval voting, they'd ALSO want to vote for the green.

whereas with ranked voting methods, they'd still strategically rank the democrat in 1st place, crushing any hope for the greens.

So ultimately this is a service-provider problem? E.g., signal with server issued ID?
The annoying thing to me is that every few year or so they switch how they distribute the signal app and don't provide a tool to migrate the old data. Yes I could do it manually by finding and copying their config dir from the old destination to the new one, but that's annoying and their whole selling point is that it'll just work for the kind of user who wouldn't think about that.

(I can't remember the exact switches, but if I recall correctly I was notified I needed to switch from a Chrome app to a Snap, then to a Deb, and finally to a Flatpack.)
That's interesting. It is sort of funny that I was right (putting genomics in the "maybe good for cloud" bucket) for the wrong reason (characterizing it as more suited for general-purpose commodity resources, rather than suited for the more niche FPGA platform).

The opposite actually, if the law says you cannot murder, it doesn't become legal because you used a hammer instead of a gun.
