My friend said once "this is very bad idea, to use another's wires", but this was more than 20 years ago, when this technology was extremely rare and expensive, so where very small probability of such cases.

Really just transformer with ferromagnetic core is enough to isolate such things.

Now world changed, but there are lot of old tech devices without any security, designed decades ago.
PBS Terra had an tour of this waste water processing plant along with other episodes on how it is to live at the McMurdo station. An interesting fact is food doesn't get spoiled there so you can keep it around for a long time.

1 + 1 != 3 only because we agree on notation to represent the real, physical world; "right" and "wrong" aren't in the same category, because they're matters of opinion, and for practical purposes on the time scale of individual human lives, might indeed does make right.

Example: Under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, if an enslaved worker escaped and fled north, anyone who helped him or her — even in a free state — could be arrested and fined; that was the law of the land for years, and it was deemed meet and right by enslavers and their sympathizers.

It's true that, in the long run and in some respects, "right" does seem eventually to converge on what humans generally agree on. But as John Maynard Keynes famously said (about investing for the long term), in the long run we are all dead — the U.S. Army's eventual vindication of "right" about slavery, in 1861-65, came too late for the millions of enslaved blacks who'd already died in the preceding 340-plus years.

Tell HN: Adblock rules to hide HN posts about Twitter & Musk
For those who want some relief from the Twitter/Musk drama, here are three cosmetic filters to add to your custom uBlockOrigin / AdGuard rules:

news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/\bTwitter\b/):upward(tr):remove()
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/\bMusk\b/):upward(tr):remove()
news.ycombinator.com##tr.spacer + tr:not(.athing):remove()

The first two ones remove the post title if it contains Twitter and/or Musk. The third one removes the second line and the spacer.

I also hide some machine learning topics with these rules:

news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/\bstable\Wdiffusion\b/i):upward(tr):remove()
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/\bdall-e\b/i):upward(tr):remove()

I'll probably make that a configurable template for https://letsblock.it/ soon
I wrote my first code in BASIC on an HP3000 in 1975. There were a couple of CRTs in the computing room but they were hotly competed for by Star Trek players so for the most part we worked on teletypes and stored our code on paper tape.

When I started professionally 15 years later I worked at a desk in an office cubicle. I wore a shirt and tie and kept regular "office hours." Our team worked in C++ on Windows as part of a vanguard effort to adopt object-oriented techniques at the bank. The design processes and project management techniques however were still very waterfall. We had lots of meetings with stakeholders and project managers. We made and revised lots of estimates and the PM used lots of complicated charts and timelines to keep track of it all. The Internet and the web were still a couple of years off and all our work was "client/server" which mostly meant thick clients talking to SQL Server, manipulating the data and then writing it back. Feature requests, code and db schemas tended to balloon and estimates were never met unless they were for very small and discrete changes.

I'm still working in the business today, though now I do cloud infrastructure and systems engineering and use linux. Obviously so much has changed that it's difficult to wrap it up narratively but if I had to pick one dramatic thing it would be access to information. It's hard for me to imagine myself back in those pre-web days even though I lived through them. I am fairly certain I could not do my job today without Google search and other online assets, and yet somehow we made do 30 years ago with actual printed manuals that you had to buy. I paid almost $150 for an IBM manual describing the VGA adapter port/IRQ mapping so I could write some mode X effects. :). I still have it somewhere down in the basement. When Microsoft first launched MSDN and made info available on CDs it was a revolution for me professionally. I suspect engineers who have grown up with all the technical info in the world at their fingertips would definitely feel like 1990 was the dark ages.
> On the other hand, should we regulate them into compliance on this matter? Ironically, it seems like a great opportunity to add inefficiency and possibly even have a net negative impact on salaries.

It adds the inefficiency of a job poster spending 5-60 minutes figuring out a salary range.

It removes the inefficiency of hours and hours and hours of interviews from people that wouldn't have applied if they knew the salary range.

It's not like hiring someone is cheap. Companies can and should put this effort into ads.

This shouldn’t be surprising. For the majority of us workers - output no longer correlates to remuneration. Working hard just means that you have slightly more money to live paycheck to paycheck on.
>That's still a non-zero probability

Just as there is a nonzero chance of someone recovering your data by reading /dev/urandom. Technically your data could be outputed but the person reading /dev/urandom would not be able to tell if it was just random data or if it was what was wiped.

Even if your tolerance for data exfiltration is 0 you can be okay with a non 0 chance for someone to randomly generate the data.

>If we're going to adjust our expectations for "overwriting is sufficient for data destruction" based on changes in technology, then SSDs are absolutely in scope

The process of wiping SSDs is different because you don't do it by overwriting all of the data, but instead by initiating a secure erase.

I think people have the right to start a small venture, like out of all the things to hate, why would you hate people not serving megacorporations ? I am genuinely baffled and would like to know where this opinion comes from.
Nonsense, but even if this is all true, the solution is more education, more debate, more speech, not heavy-handed government imposition of what can and cannot be said in what contexts.

Eventually, the people - or person - wielding that heavy hand will not have your best interests at heart.

This is contradictory.

Maybe something like, you can't force someone to stop and pay attention to you if they don't want to? Or maybe letting people sue anyone who spreads damaging lies about them?
Knowing WHEN to do BigO optimizations is part of knowing how to optimize. And for cases that _could_ ble NlogN, it may be perfectly fine to chose N^2 for moderate N, while N^3 can kill the solution.

As for timeouts, IO and deadlocks, those problems can also be a case of poor up front optimization (before codigng).

The article doesn't talk about how productivity is measured and the actual sensitivity and accuracy of the measurement(s). As others have pointed out, measuring productivity is a little hazy and probably is influenced by subjective bias (hey a recession might be coming... hmm, I feel like less work is getting done at my office).

I wonder how much bias affects the reported measurements?
I doubt businesses outside of manufacturing can actually discern a 2% change in productivity, when screening for other factors, and some of them can't discern a 5% change.

>Software doesn't know when its rules should be broken.

Just to provide an example of this I ran into today: I'm doing a medical physics residency, and my supervisor was explaining that a new "fail-safe" incorporated into the software that reverted the collimator after every scan was now making the phototimer tests take twice as long, because we had to go back into the room and reset the collimator repeatedly. We tested a machine with the new system and one with the old system and it did in fact turn a 15-minute task into around 35 minutes.

On top of the sibling comment, as of WinRT, COM has been extended with a new ABI, based on additional base interface (IInspectable), replacing TLB libraries with .NET metadata, and support for generics (.NET style).

So it isn't the C++ object model per se.
It would just be a question as to whether the reinvestment would be expected to yield a high enough return. Theoretically, at least, if the dividend is being repurposed for investment and the market believes that that reinvestment will drive enought growth, then the stock price could stay flat or even go up. Especially in the current environment where there aren't many good places to invest capital.

I'd think that scenario is fairly unlikely though, and in any situation where the dividend goes away volatility will certainly go up.
Sorry, it's your opinion that researchers and/or engineers working on DL or Bayesian methods work better when they're distracted by many diverse tasks? What?

The commercial real estate market is basically nothing like what anyone not in the commercial real estate market thinks it is.

Everything that applies to single family home rentals and even much that applies to apartment/multi family rentals is out the window. (Though arguably triple net leases would make sense in many cases vis-a-vis home rentals.)

Vacancy taxes would also be the easiest thing in the world to get around, you'd just blanket the world with Spirit Halloween stores.
I agree. Musk's key talent is sales:

* Convincing investors to lend him money.

* Convincing talented people to come work on his projects.

And he lies convincingly. His methods sometimes do get results (Tesla electric cars, SpaceX), so to his fans, he's a genius. Most of his projects fail (Tesla self-driving, boring company, hyperloop, robotaxis, crypto, stonks, every single thing he's tweeted about), but his fans are happy to forgive or forget all about those.

With Twitter he may have bitten off more than he can chew.

> Marginally superior to what? PlayStation?

Precisely

Both the original Xbox One and the Xbox One S have a custom, 1.75GHz AMD 8-core CPU, while the Xbox One X bumps that up to a 2.3GHz 8-core chip. The base PS4 CPU remained clocked at 1.6GHz and contains a similar custom AMD 8-core CPU with x86-based architecture, while the PS4 Pro bumps that clock speed up to 2.13GHz.

If the roles and expectations are actually thought through before posting, perhaps. If not, the first contact can gently nudge them towards the appropriate slot.

If an employer can't write a concrete job description that communicates the difference between junior and senior and staff/supersenior, that's on them. Get better at it before you waste the employee's time (or pay people for interviewing).

Now if we could do that universally.
I'm sorry it's working so poorly for you. 2.0 has some performance issues that do make it seem more like slow-open in a number of situations. We're working on it.
> Can this really be considered a core identity though?

Levine thinks it is. Some of us agree. What's the origin of the term "core identity" in your eyes, and in which bodies has our civilization invested the authority to regulate them? It sounds from your invocation of "fraud" like you think this should be a legal issue?

I mean, sorry, but this is an open and shut libertarian argument. It's no one else's business, especially the government's, to decide who you are. Period. If being a woman or a man (by whatever standards you want to use) isn't hurting anyone, and it clearly isn't, then our job is just to shut up about it.

I mean, seriously: there are people walking around all over the place with Y chromosomes. I have one too. We're everywehre! If my Y isn't hurting you now, how could that possibly change if I put a skirt on it?
Perhaps an awful lot of people were just working on a stealth no code project.
Funny stuff. You have a significant portion of Republicans believing in an anonymous Q-clearance government official who's fighting the "deep state" by posting on 8chan but it turns out it's the Democrats who have lost touch with reality.
You can type your posts for free on the Notes app on your phone and it will have the same effect.

The value of Twitter is in the network and eyeballs, not the tech behind it.
> But if you stiff the landlord he's not going to evict you right away, especially if you make a partial payment (note the "in full") and he has nobody better to rent to, anyway.

I'm not shedding tears for landlords. Most of them charge exorbitant rent while still enjoying absurdly low interest rates of the last decade on their loans and doing the bare minimum (or none at all) of maintenance or investment into improvements (e.g. bring electricity and water grids or insulation up to code).

I seriously hope that the current market crash brings down rents massively to affordable prices, but as long as landlords can get tax advantages for un-rented units especially large corporations don't have an incentive to lower rents - it will take a lot of no or partial payments to force their hands. An alternative would be vacancy taxes, but these are hard to pass if half the legislators are bought off by large real estate investors and their banks.
Could be a factor at tech companies where lot of compensation is in a form of equity options. Especially smaller / medium sized tech companies have had their stocks go down by 50-80% in some cases. So now you’re earning much less than you thought you did plus inflation is out of control further reducing your real income.
There's a service named Everplans that walks you through passwords, important documents, making an end of life plan, other stuff. They released a whole book on it that I haven't finished yet.

You setup contacts in the app and the contacts confirm they want to be involved. They receive a special link (or some other access method, I can't remember) and when you die, your contacts can say "(person) died, give me access to their information."

A confirmation is sent to the person that setup the account, they have a pre-determined amount of time to block the request. If the request is ignored the data is released to either some or all contacts. It's pretty slick but I would be terrified to start a business like that, with something like this you can't just let the business go under if things aren't going well.
As a casual observer, it appears that he moves very, very quickly. An insider might have read his mind yesterday but not be familiar with his current plan being executed today. Of course this can lead to big results in some cases and erratic chaos in others.
How do you acquire a framework? Why not just use it?

We're talking large scale commercial repurposing of source code with worldwide redistribution here. Not some project you whipped up in 5 minutes to learn from, or automate some minor annoying task.

Unlicensed source code - the default - is still protected by copyright law. If it's hosted and served from a different jurisdiction where no exception exists for training data models.

Then there are also licenses that explicitly prohibit commercial usage to consider.

What it comes down to, as it always does, is that a small group of (practically) untouchable people are making money by abusing and thereby irreparably damaging the trust and good will of the collective.

It's a complex topic eh
I mean, it's obviously WFH. You might be more productive working from home but most people aren't. Any productivity boost was due to the novelty of it all but disappeared once the honeymoon was over. My friends who had never worked a single day from home before the pandemic were ecstatic and felt really motivated. Nowadays, not so much.
It's interesting, it looks like a clone of my site, which I posted to Show HN a few days ago.
See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33359126

I had somebody spamming my rates with profanity. The same person, 2 separate days, for over 5 hours in total, attempting to personally sabotage my launch by having expletives publicly render in my table to the public.

To the point where I was forced to gate the data behind emails.

I notice your selling point is that you don't require email.

Are you having the same issues? Or perhaps, was it you?

I can’t say it was you. Although if it continues maybe I’ll start digging into my logs a bit more. It just looks mighty suspicious.

Good luck on your launch.
These businesses should be paid by the landlord to occupy (and therefore maintain) the property for them. This notion that you can own land without occupying it (or paying somebody to occupy it) is an absurdly backwards idea that is responsible for a lot of suffering and exploitation in modern society.

We've constructed a bit of a euphemism for this. "I just want to make a living to put food on my plate". Except it's not the food that's expensive. It's the rent. Which in many places, for low income earners amounts to greater than 50% of their take home pay.

In my city there are dozens of empty stores in the CBD "for lease" as if there is no demand for use of these properties. Absolutely ridiculous. Strangely enough, everyone thinks that renting a home or workplace to occupy is a perfectly normal thing to do.

Would be great to have a discussion on this.
Seems to cover more than that, things we should be ignorant of could simply be labeled as False. Malinformation seems to be about how facts should only be interpreted in a certain way. So for example a factual statistic but it can only mean what the government decided it means (i.e. supports the government's policy).
How would that work?

Most platforms I think let you follow specific accounts, and noise from other accounts shouldn't matter (unless it's enough to DDOS the system).
There's nothing wrong about that. Your existing options remain and WILL remain. The new options just feel more productive (but that's subjective too).

If you prefer writing separate backend code:

- You can use any backend with Next.js/Remix if you want to. (https://remix.run/docs/en/v1/guides/bff)

- You don't have to use either of those for your front-end in the first place.
You can just use React with Vite.

Thinking about SSR/SSG? You can use the Vite SSR plugin (does serverless SSR really well too)

If you prefer having your server and client coupled and want to go in with the new options (using React as your library):

- Use Next.js/Remix for everything. You can then choose parts of your architecture individually (for instance Prisma as ORM, TRPC/Blitz's RPC model as your API model (or Remix's action-loader pattern), etc.)

These are just two options and probably all you'll need to know to be productive unless you WANT to know more in which case you'll inevitably do your own research.

> Markup language which completely falls over this is Markdown. There’s no way to express generic tree structure, conversion to HTML with specific browser tags is hard-coded.

This isn't really a fair criticism. True, the original Markdown.pl did not produce a generic tree structure, but that's a fact about the program, not the syntax it parses. Many Markdown and Commonmark implementations do support creation of an abstract syntax tree. Pandoc has done this for the last 17 years. It also provides nestable, generic containers as a syntax extension.

> It feels like there’s a smaller, simpler language somewhere

Here's my attempt: <https://djot.net>.
It's even stupider than that: it divides this figure by a largely fabricated estimate of how many hours people actually worked. This is a SWAG metric that is largely made up. The commentary is most likely irrelevant.
25Gb Internet? Bandwidth in the US sucks! But I have to admit I have trouble saturating 35Mb, and I'd happily pay half as much for 10Mb or 5Mb if it were available. Also, tablets would be pretty annoying without wifi.
Yep. And right now we have the right thinking we’re setting up a gestapo because we want to fund the IRS.

To be honest though the IRS has an awful track record of focusing on lower income people :(
