I can confirm that it's pretty good, but mine often loses track of time and needs to be calibrated via the app. I don't have it constantly connected to my phone, and only connect it ocasionally to sync, so maybe that could be the cause. I've even once had the calibration refuse to work, which required a hard reset of the watch to fix.

It's elegant, and the smartwatch features are unobtrusive, but I wouldn't trust it for any precise tracking, or even time tracking.
I haven't tried Copilot personally but thanks I'll try it. I did try TabNine over a year ago and found it's improved dramatically since then so maybe it's gotten better within training.
>Not only is Elon going to lose a metric shitload of money from his Twitter acquisition, he's going to lose a huge amount of whatever goodwill was left over after pedo guy.

Honestly, I seriously doubt this prediction. Not that I don't want it to become true, but I have little faith that people have enough decency to stop being his fans after the pedo thing and all the other crap he's said and done. Just look at how many people are die-hard Trump supporters still.

I find the 'not going to take further action' telling, not to mention the bad taste of making fun of your employer publicly.

Seems mostly immature and passive-aggressive to me.

Aside from the criticism of the company, if I'm a manager I'm probably saying we don't need immature, passive-aggressive people on the team.

Personal opinion, but I'd probably not complain publicly about being terminated, unless the company broke the law regarding my termination.

> Human brains can be tricked too, but never this way and never beyond our capacities for rational thought.

And yet we're living in the age of misinformation where propaganda spreads like never before. Isn't that essentially an adversarial attack which shows how susceptible humans are to them too?

For the record, i don't think that's NN are brains either. I think our issue to differentiate sufficiently between them is because we don't really know what sentience really is.

Ask HN: Did that social media thing Truth ever pay their hosting fees?
I read here that Truth had paid the first month of their (admittedly absurdly high) hosting fees and then stopped paying. I’m curious if the hosts are still anxiously awaiting payment and trying to decide if they shut it down for nonpayment or if they ended up getting paid.

There is obviously the right tool for the right job, ie. Moving car and you're looking for a clear photo you need a camera that can shoot at a high ISO and produce little noise. But the reality is you are either a poor or lazy photographer. Part of being a good photographer is working within the constraints of the tool that you have at the time.

I had an olympus C-2 Zoom which was dramatically worse than the Sony and it captured many great photos. I can see some good sample photos here ofthe F717 https://onfotolife.com/camera_sample_photos?camera_id=4527&p...
No, one does not, in fact, have to admit that. Your statement represents an opinion.
Altering the record of dates/times that people said things seems like a really bad precedent.

I'm guessing it's a kludge to implement the second chance behavior, but maybe there's a more benign kludge, or a practical more proper way to do it.
Yeah but Debian’s package repository is all deb based. It would be difficult to translate precisely into RPM - they have different tooling and semantics.
So basically "i can't provide any evidence but just trust me because I don't like them" then?
Oh boy, this is so naive. Big corporations always prioritize minimizing risk over anything else. Because if you screw up and the risk doesn't pay off, your internal competitors will eat you alive.

So the dude publishes a tool for downloading internal communications (and making the intended use of the tool very explicit). It reaches some legal person in the company who gets to decide what to do about it.

So option A, do nothing. If in a month from now somebody uses it to leak a confidential email, others will remember your inaction, you lose your job. Option B, terminate the dude, block the tool. You get a pat on the back for doing your job, dude leaves.

It's really a no-brainer. If a company has someone who is literally paid to minimize liabilities, painting a big red "liability" sign on your back in front of them is not a good idea. Might as well pull out a gun in front of a cop, and then complain about police brutality (if you survive).

It is also a weird tantrum from the loyalty perspective. The corporate game is all about pretending to trust each other, while looking for multiple backstabbing opportunities at the same time. If you publish a tool saying "hey, if the corporate screws you over, here's how you fight back", you publicly show that you don't trust the company anymore. So unless the company immediately shows that they don't trust you, it's almost like they let you win the round, confirming that they shouldn't be trusted.
The hypocrisy of HN is mindblowing. I have seen thread after thread people vouching they won't hire candidates who jump multiple times to optimize their paycheck and benefits, but have no problem with mass layoffs in name of optimisation. You can't have two different scales for the two sides.
Philosophy is the constantly moving (and narrowing) circle of unanswered questions.
ya I agree that they shouldn't be the gatekeepers to power. My thought was to make elite universities more competitive against each other. That way maybe the distinction between the top 0.001% and the top 1% matters a lot less because there are lots of elite schools that are all roughly equal. Maybe making more universities or encouraging other schools to step up to compete so that the bottle neck is less so would work. But it's still an education bottleneck.

I am kind of disgusted with the whole thing though. I don't like all this zero sum competition over a name on a piece of paper.

I think in some other countries they have a system where if you make it past a threshold you have a guaranteed spot in their top tier school system. We should do that. We should educate people who have the talent and want to be educated, the specific name should be less important. I think this would ease a lot of tension, make things more fair, and provide the best outcome. But I don't even know if people would want this because the appeal of a super elite degree seems to be pretty enticing.

I have to think about the expansion of power of the middle class. Buying from small businesses would lessen the incentives to have these degrees to some extent. But I have to think about how to apply that to tech. The exact pedigree of a CS degree seems to be extremely important for example even if this is probably meaningless.
Try taking some good pictures with a legacy polaroid :P

After you manage that you can do the same with any other camera to improve quality.

It's significantly cheaper but also in a frequency range that likely requires a bigger antenna.
> This breaks SPF

The way to do this forwarding would be to remail it in the same way that mailing lists do, rather than a SMTP forward.

The sender (SMTP envelope sender) gets rewritten, and so SPF is good. The From: header stays the same. SPF doesn't care about the From: header, only the SMTP envelope sender.
Hasn't Helium shown that there is low demand for this type of IoT connectivity?
It’d make for a really great story if someone were able to prove that WhatsApp isn’t e2ee and instead sends copies of all message contents to meta. You could just go ahead and decompile the app to do that, then write it up and get #1 on HN.

If it was open source that still wouldn’t prove much, see e.g. https://mobile.twitter.com/taviso/status/1263957627077226498 for a discussion on reproducible builds.

The recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities were in there for over a year before they were discovered. Theoretically Signal or an open source version of WhatsApp could have a bugdoor, which would not be found for as long or longer.

Sure, it’s way nicer when stuff is open source, but I’m not sure it’d change much in this regard.

(IMO there are many good reasons to dislike WhatsApp/meta. I just think your argument is flawed.)
If anyone likes CSS2, then I’m hiring. We use vanilla CSS2 (and vanilla HTML4 and vanilla JavaScript via <script> tag — no node modules or bundlers) as it simply works. Message me if interested.
You don't have to do a thing. Microsoft (and Amazon, with it's CodeWhisperer, and every other similar business building such services) went into this fight with their eyes wide open. They knew this would happen and are well prepared for it. And even among the FSF's own invited whitepapers on CoPilot (https://www.fsf.org/news/publication-of-the-fsf-funded-white...) was one ("Copyright implications of the use of code repositories to train a machine learning model") that that seemed to conclude that CoPilot-like services could defensibly say that copyright was not violated regardless of the license.

So if this suit succeeded, I would be very surprised. Even the FSF isn't rushing to file suit and they care about this controversy probably more than anyone.
eDir is (well, was?) awful at any kind of scale, especially if you have lots of different compliance policies.
The problem is not the algorithms. It is the internet itself.

The internet enables multicast communication, whereas before we could only afford broadcast communication. Broadcast requires the same message to be sent to all, so it forces that message to be moderate and non-polarizing.

We always harbored the ability to be polarized according to our beliefs, but the technology didn't yet exist to allow that.
That doesn't account for any hysteresis in the system. The weather extremes we are experiencing now are not due to emissions last year, but to emissions multiple decades ago

Regardless, comparing pre-industrial average with an ice age minimum and then saying "we probably haven't gotten quite so much warmer again" is ...not a comforting reframing of the situation.

How many "total investors" are there making trades in the average month?
All of our brains have limited bandwidth. I can engage with someone very different from me, but not many of them at the same time, and not many who are different along different axes. So if I want to talk - genuinely talk - to someone who's politically, religiously, or philosophically very different from me, one at a time works best.

So, I agree. The enormous size of the room is a problem. If you're X, you can't have a one-on-one conversation with someone who's Y without having a bunch of other Ys jump in, and then a bunch of Xs in response. And then you get a bunch of Zs piling on, and the whole thing becomes a shouting match, not a calm, reasonable conversation.

I echo what others have said. That article sounds important, and useful. Please write it.
> Human brains can be tricked too, but never this way and never beyond our capacities for rational thought.

It's inconceivable to me that humans wouldn't be trickable by exactly the same sort of adversarial inputs-- it's just that because we're not differentiable there is no feasible way to find these inputs.

People have constructed fairly impressive optical illusions based on our understanding of the neural structure of the early stages of vision processing. The fact that we lack more complicated examples like "random images" that make us feel hate or disgust or that we're convinced are our mother is simply due to our lack of understanding and access to the higher neural structures.

I don't recall anyone taking 2 months at a time, other than mothers who just gave birth (who usually took 3-6 months). That being said, in the US, even companies with generous vacation policies generally don't let you earn two months, much less take it. Usually the best you can do is accrue 1.5 times your annual earning, and most places rarely give more than four weeks.
Not at all, in my experience.

If you are beginner in your journey, like I was initially, (no tinted windows, exiting vehicle before re-entering from the back to sleep), then I would recommend Walmarts. They always have car campers parked overnight, many people sleeping within earshot, round the clock security cruising around, easy to find privacy where you are surrounded by a tree or bush or something on front&side of vehicle.

If you are advanced (tinted windows, rainguards to crack open windows without being visible, internal supplementary window covers so you can have lights inside while blacked out from outside, and a way of getting to the sleeping area without exiting the vehicle), then the world is your oyster. You get very good at developing a sixth sense for safety, just based on how the people on the streets are behaving, the houses, the trashiness, etc, but you can also use my favorite method: fire up Zillow and find rich neighborhoods and/or find neighborhoods with artisanal French bakeries.

How do Azure’s architects decide when to use Linux and when to use Server Core?
Youtube does this reasonably well; subscription page for channels you follow, and the home page for content discovery.
Reddit and Twitter are 2 of the top reasons why this country, and the world for that matter, is so divided politically. Keep in mind that if there weren't division politicians would have less influence.
This assumes an equitable distribution of purchasing power among market participants, so the only barrier to truth-dominant news is whether a majority of market participants demand it.

Unfortunately this is not reality. There are many reasons why statements that are untruthful, or at least tangential to the truth like rage-bait, are paid to be distributed.

Sometimes domestic political parties seek to spread misinformation because it will drive their core voters to the polls, or convert on-the-fence voters to their side.

Sometimes nation-state actors seek to spread misinformation to cause chaos and disrupt national unity.

Maybe an industrial lobby is seeking to obfuscate or misinform about products and their benefits (see the sugar industry's public campaigns for 'low-fat' foods packed with sugar as beneficial to your health).

In all three of these examples, the parties supplying the information have vastly more resources to spend on spreading the information than anyone does to combat it, even if it is a net-negative on society, because there is money to be made or power to be had. Business interests can sustain their propaganda as long as they are making money, possibly indefinitely. National political parties can sustain their propaganda as long as there are major interests that benefit from the party's actions, typically also indefinitely. And we all know the kind of resources a nation-state can deploy.
This is cute and all, but I think their software engineers are coding the wrong projects. This (and other recent projects) indicate a lack of strategic direction from GitHub, which is now Microsoft.
I still don't understand what you are asking for, that is the root of the problem. You have an asset, you want to know how to leverage it into more money.
> [OSS] was a cautious attempt to assert a radical idea into an atmosphere of extrem secrecy: That information wants to be free.

Information may want to be free, but users of free information often want to enrich their private endeavors by shackling the information that was given to them freely.

The (A|L)GPL acknowledges the fact that some people and corporations like to use free-and-gratis work in their products and not reciprocate the courtesy shown to them by the authors of that work. (I choose the (L)GPL whenever I can so that folks who derive from my work are either required to either make it available as I have, or pay me enough so that I don't mind them shackling my work.)

The BSD license acknowledges the fact that some people and many corporations like to use gratis work in their closed-source products and never even do so much as bother to credit the authors of work that they used.

For as long as powerful folks continue to use and improve upon gratis information and software without contributing the products that used that information and/or improvements, the 'weird old Victorian ideas of "intellectual property"' are going to have to continue to be dealt with. Remember... you likely cannot reasonably afford an army of lawyers to ensure that pretty much noone uses your work without paying you, but big companies like Microsoft, RedHat, IBM, Oracle, etc, etc, and wealthy individuals can.

For as long as those wealthy entities can lock up and force you to pay for their work and ideas, but make it ruinously expensive for us little people to -individually- do the same to them, we'll need "weird old Victorian" things like licenses to help correct this imbalance of power.

Never heard of seam carving before. Not sure if it's used anywhere, but what a fun idea it is!

Lepton is interesting (as is brotli), although it doesn't quite rise to the level of "opening gates to new worlds" that the innovations around 2000 did. Virtual machines were funny in that they implemented an idea from mid-century mathematical logic, but VMWare was founded in 1998 and cygwin (not quite virtual machines but similar) is even older.

Oh yeah, lots of innovation in spam, social engineering and trolling, but that's not computing per se :)

Well aware of the march of big data and "quantity becoming quality"-based services over the last 20 years. But Google Earth and Wikipedia started in 2001, and everything that came thereafter would mostly be less exciting and more closed-down. OpenStreetMap deserves a mention, not for innovation but for stealing the fire from the gods. Windy.com is a fresh breeze, too; good point.

Never found DropBox exciting. Even git, which I love and use for 3 different purposes every day, just doesn't feel particularly novel. Maybe that's because torrenting (with all its deduplication, hash-indexing and various other innovations) had set my expectations so high long ago that everything that came after looked like the Dark Ages.

Drones... now these are some new grounds. In hindsight, I feel stupid forgetting them in my comment above!
