I had my reddit account permanently banned for upvoting what was then called Covid misinformation.
That's a bad example to follow. Sociopaths are even better at self promotion.
It would help to tweak the marketing a bit around recording "everything you say." Is the mic always on? Is it always recording in the background? Is it just for Zoom/Video Conf meetings? Because the first impression I get is that of a scary Black Mirror episode.
I have two questions:

1. You claim that the user data is stored locally, that no data is sent to the cloud but audio is sent to a cloud transcription service. How do you reconcile these things?

2. What languages does the app support?

Thank you.

Impressive! But I guess the trade-off of having all that power is the potentially terrifying cost. As you detail in the post, AWS Lambda comes with a default throttle (1000 concurrent) which can be adjusted. Is any throttle/limit like that supported, or in the road-map? Only I've been thinking I may want a service to fail beyond a certain point, as that amount of load would indicate an attack, not genuine usage.
Q: Are there any mitigations until I can upgrade?

A: Users operating TLS servers may consider disabling TLS client authentication, if it is being used, until fixes are applied.

Paraphrasing... A: if you depend on mutual TLS; no.
IMO Letsencrypt is way too difficult to bother with for such scenarios: devices that are not open to the internet.

The hassle of forwarding the ports for their verification and having to do it so regularly (3 months) is a real pita.

I used to just pay for yearly certs for this reason but prices have gone up so now I'm back to using self signed. I'd love to set up my own PKI but the tool chain is so complex and many OSes like Android allow apps to opt out of user -added root certificates which makes it very hard to deal with.
Sunscreen | SWE, Product Engineer, Cryptography Engineer | Full-time | SF, Seattle, or REMOTE

Private computation, compilers, and post-quantum crypto…oh my!

At Sunscreen, we believe private computation is the future [0]. Since the cryptography needed to achieve this feat is currently inaccessible to engineers, we have built and open-sourced our (Rust-based) fully homomorphic encryption compiler [1]. Next, we’re focused on building out our zero-knowledge proof library and distributed file system.

We're looking to grow and have 3 years worth of runway in the bank. Join us and help make advanced cryptography easy to use for engineers [2].

What is the point of this wg? Looking at the participants it is extremely unlikely that this will have any impact on the services that people actually use. The first point of action should be to get the right stakeholders around the same table, only then there is any chance of real progress. Otherwise I anticipate just lot of hamdwaving and fancy manifestos and little action.
After an `apt update` on jammy, `apt changelog openssl` still shows 3.0.2-0ubuntu1.6 for me as the latest from July 4. Do you know if there is something that is holding it back from trickling down?

BlueConic | Remote or onsite (US/NL) | Full-time or part-time | Multiple Teams/Positions | https://boards.greenhouse.io/blueconic?t=ce38358b2us

BlueConic is the market-leading customer data platform, which gives marketers the power to liberate their data and use it to improve marketing outcomes. Our clients use BlueConic to unify individual-level data and then use that single view across channels. Our SaaS platform is the solution for challenges marketers haven’t been able to solve for years. We’re headquartered in Boston and our development team works from the Netherlands. With more than 300 brands currently using the platform, our work is experienced by millions.

Technologies we use:

* Frontend (TypeScript, JavaScript, React)
* Backend (Java, Node, Cassandra, Solr, Docker)
* AI / Machine Learning (Apache Spark, Python, Jupyter notebooks)
* DevOps (AWS)
* iOS (Swift)
* Android (Java)
I don't know if I'm the only one, but the biggest problem of google (which is the same as microsoft), is the unified account system.
It's very complicated to switch from business to personal accounts. And that creates a lot of friction for me.

If you had bothered to benchmark it, you'd have realized that lots of protobuf libraries are actually surprisingly slow.
I don't really have a stance on the moral or ethical points but some of the results in the illustrations included here are amazing. If you mixed them up and asked me to identify those which were originals and those which where AI generated I would fail miserably. That in amazing in my book.
It's an HN-dupe only if there's been significant discussion
Have you maybe possibly previously been exposed to the concept of an argumentation straw man?
Feeding actual works of art into an approximation machine, and no expecting the output of said machine to not be owned by the author of the art is making a big assumption I think. There is the word copy in "copyright" and the model did definitely got a copy of the original at source.
No matter the dilution, copyright is being breached, as I understand it.
New York "metro" is always tricky. All of New Jersey, southern Connecticut, Staten Island, the Bronx, outer Brooklyn, outer Queens: Who the hell cares. Yes, I will be down-voted for this comment! My point: Defining inner city NYC that is wealthy requires some care and consideration. All the interesting "real estate action" happens in a very small radius from midtown Manhattan.
We don't need messaging apps to interoperate. We need the notification center in your phone around push notifications to be amazing and centralize everything.

Writing a HashMap in Rust without unsafe
Reminds me of how AT&T bought Time Warner and how Verizon Bought Yahoo/AOL. They overpaid for those services and tried to recoup their money in some way and some how. It ended up lowering the value of the brands, and definitely turned away the customers.

Leave twitter now. Let the dust settle 1 year later. and join then. Otherwise, you will be riding the same roller coaster.
This would make sense if twitter actually made profit or at least grew its "capital" (the users).
But what they actually did is increase the work force and lose active users.

This is a strong evidence to me that the algorithms aren't actually driven by raw capitalistic incentives but are at least partially a tool to manipulate public discourse.
have you looked at the home page for YouTube recently? Tons of stuff trying to drive a emotional response.
What you guys do is freaking amazing. I have been following you for a while now, although I never applied. Who knows!
The whole site seems to be down (502) atm?
What I meant by "canonical" is that you can't get rid of the binary log; you can pipe it into a database, or a textfile, or /dev/null, if you want, but that database or textfile is transcoded copy of the binary log.
Seems like putting a limitation on what someone can do with their own computer on their own time with their own money.
Wasn't sure what this is, so I went to the homepage and noticed it has the line "Only X remote holes in the default install in a heck of a long time" where X changes on every page load.
Disagreeing with that and overtly saying it in a widely publicised video I think are very different things.

One is pragmatic, the other aims to sow specific narratives in the mind of the viewers. The video is aimed at us, not at the Chinese
This does not seem to contain any extra information at all?
The common way I hear it, every day, is: "Anyone mind if I record?"
You could probably say the same thing about how people react to professional sports. Everybody has an opinion.

Actually the tablets and Chromebooks, killed them, not the selling XP licenses at discount prices.

Been using Metrist for a few months now. So nice to get status updates delivered straight to Slack as opposed to trusting vendor status pages and eventually having to just defer to Twitter.
Ok, sure. Does that mean they have to support Linux on every device they put out? Why not complain that they don't support Linux on Xbox?
How come you dont see or hear a sonic boom when the go faster as sound or did i miss that?
And me. So your "exception" hypothesis is getting weaker :)

You've really got me thinking.

Is there a word for that thing when "everyone knows" what they think
"everyone is doing", but once they start to dig deeper it turns out
nobody really is? Everyone is pretending to, because they think that's
what everybody should say and do?

Mass delusion? Group fallacy? Fashion? Groupthink? None quite capture
it.
For generative art, trademarking your name might help prevent people from using it in prompts, but for general copyright, where does the line stand between someone casually publishing every color in the rainbow, every note combination, every letter in the alphabet, and claiming anyone else is infringing on their copyright?

If someone copies your thesis, abstract, poem word for word, that is clear violation of your IP, but we are all remixing words that everyone uses, colors, brush strokes, API terms, programming language keywords, and notes. Copyright law has the fair use doctrine and transformative use is explicitly allowed to allow iteration. There is some level of granularity that is essential to creativity - otherwise one entity can copyright all possible combinations and prevent any creativity from happening legally. If AI goes below that threshold, all of humanity has a chance to iterate far faster and find new spaces and fill new needs for everyone. Humans have been able to draw in the style of Picasso or Monet for centuries. A program doing it is not infringement, just much faster iteration.
Not in the slightest.

It's a skill that everyone should know, if they want to run servers. It's a skill you can acquire by reading some very simple instructions.

Imagine if bridges were designed and built by the fuckwits that created (or indeed use) MongoDB.
Can you get away with ignoring Turing? sure. But it's not going to be a "great markup language"

Victims? Why would this requirement cause development difficulty? If anything it would make it easier to deliver, and a lot easier to develop alternative parsers for, and easier to extend as well. We figured out all these things a long time ago but then ignored them because we thought we knew better then those who came before us.
That wasn't provided as a condition. In a bank run, Visa's existence or non-existence is irrelevant. Credit is frozen.
I've always found it more useful to just discard user input that doesn't come in the format you're asking for, and bail on the entire operation.

Like, if the user might be attempting something fishy, there's no reason to try and "clean it up" and have your program "do it's best" with the remainder. Throw an error back at the user and move on to the next query.
PRs are just logical groupings of commits. It makes it efficient to group related commits together. You are correct that each of the commits could be separate PRs which is part of the advantage to this pattern—code contribution is always atomic and easily organized. How you organize these contributions is done whichever way makes it easiest to get merged in efficiently.
It really does feel like the headline for 1970 - 2070 is going to be "Technology desperately tries, but fails, to make the world a better place".

What technology has _really_ improved what it is like to be a human being, around other human beings, and to lead a fulfilling life?

Every "disrupted" industry feels like it just has been replaced by a less-human, more unequal, and more dystopian version of itself over the past 50 years.

Those who can survive tech jobs seem to have turned out to be the least equipped people to properly navigate us towards utopia.
Property Meld | Full Stack Engineer | Full-time | Remote / Rapid City, SD

Looking for something more meaningful? How about the opportunity to have a direct impact on the property maintenance experience for hundreds of thousands of residents?

Welcome to the future of property maintenance. Property Meld’s vision is to radically improve how the property management industry handles property maintenance. If you’ve ever had a maintenance issue at your housing rental, you know how much of a pain it can be to get it fixed quickly and reliably. It doesn't have to be this way. We're rethinking the entire property maintenance experience from the ground up with two things in mind - first, driving the cost of doing maintenance to the absolute minimum, and second, providing an experience to residents and property owners that makes them want to stay with their property manager. If you are excited about turning something that has historically been a negative experience (maintenance) into a positive experience, we'd love to talk with you.

Stack: Python, Django, Typescript, React, Postgres

We are looking for software engineers with at least 3-5 years of experience.

World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency 2022
Agreed. sizeof FEELS like a function, and so I use parentheses with it, even though I know it's not actually a function.
It is worth asking, what legal rights of the author's may have been violated here?

Glancing at https://cyber.harvard.edu/property/library/moralprimer.html the following ending sentence seems particularly applicable:

If a person uses the identity of an author, or the works of the author, for her own benefit without the author's permission, then she may have violated the author's right of publicity or may be guilty of misappropriation of the author's work.

And the previous line is nearly applicable:

If authorship of a work is attributed to an author against her will, or misattributed, the author may have a state action for defamation against the person responsible for the attribution.

Of course "moral rights" are particularly weak in the USA. I'm sure that there would be a much better case in the EU.

Of course this gets directly to the question of what happens when laws conflict with technology. People in technology generally think that technology should win. People who benefit from the laws think that the laws should win. Both popular opinion and real world results generally wind up somewhere between.
Generally, people want to do less work so they can spend more time focused on their own dreams and aspirations.
I doubt that right to repair will reduce e-waste. Most people won’t bother with repairs anyway and let’s not discount the possibility that producing parts and making them modular can actually increase waste, at least in some applications (for example, I’m quite certain that RAM sticks produce more e-waste that soldered-on RAM overall).

To clarify, I think that there are different classes of devices with different kinds of technical requirements. There is no good reason why a dishwasher pump or a washing machine/food processor motor are not easily replaceable: after all they are housed in large, bulky mechanical machines that could function for decades with proper maintenance. But a smartphone or a laptop are extremely complicated devices that rely on minituarization and tight integration to provide features like energy efficiency, weather protection, data security etc. You can’t treat a smartphone the same way as a dishwasher. It’s a very different device.

>Excuse me when I make an apple pie from scratch.

You’ll have to invent the universe first.
I think it's interesting that for the past 50+ years we have been having an ongoing philosophical debate about the ethics of genetic manipulation. The warning stories are abound in sci-fi, and though we have the tools to do so, we use extreme restraint in their research.

Yet we haven't had such discussions in computer science about the use of AI. While other fields wrestle with the ethics of doing things, we have had no such discussions. (Due to the nature of our education we are blind to the demands of ethics.) We have made the tools so easy to use, and so accessible, that even if we should discuss the implications of said tools the cat is already out of the bag.

Lately, I've been thinking about that poem "First they came..." by Martin Niemöller and wondering if now is the time to heed it's warning.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Might as well use a standalone GPS device?
C++ generally produces smaller and faster programs because the language gives compilers much more to work with.
