There is a disconnect between “tech talent” and the overlap of layoffs. Sure, some firms have downsized across the board, but plenty of layoffs we are seeing in the last 12 weeks is focused on areas other than engineering.

I don't quite understand. I like challenges; I don't mind doing "FAANG Level work", whatever that means, at a small company. I don't care much for salary beyond getting a good salary for my locale. Having a great work/life balance is much more important to me. I don't want a "FAANG Level compensation" if that means I've got to move, work crazy hours, have absurd living expenses, have a lot of interview rounds with stupid coding tests, have a continuous fear of layoffs, have a lot of bureaucracy, etc.
> "Why are you doing it like this? No one else does it this way".

I think that's a really good question. Doesn't mean that it won't have a good answer, but if the answer is non-obvious then why shouldn't it be asked?
It’s a regular failure mode in human interactions. Just because someone is attractive/charismatic/sincere doesn’t mean they should be taken seriously, and just because someone is ugly/inarticulate/creepy doesn’t mean they should be disbelieved. Extreme idiocy and true genius are just invisible to most people (before the fact), and the discerning folk get only Schadenfreude.
I think the key there is them believing they're doing FAANG level work and feeling that they're not being compensated to the right level doesn't mean either of those are true.

Also, shouldn't it be MAANA now instead of FAANG?
Everything you described is also true of android. Fact remains that even flagship android vendors support updates for much less time than apple.
The common refrain is that "Since Apple helped found ARM they have a super special relationship that gives them more rights than anyone else."

That they had to specifically sign an architectural license in 2008 sounds like that is not at all true but that they are just another standard licensee (albeit one with very deep pockets).

D and Nim are great mature languages. If you think they're suitable for the domain you're working on and reach out for either of them, you're not gonna go wrong. They have large communities and you'll easily find answers to your questions.

I wouldn't call Zig established, though. Zig's compiler still crashes on valid code and compared to V it still doesn't have an online playground, a package manager, hot code reloading, a REPL, etc. even though it's twice as old.

V's syntax is similar to Go. However under the hood V differs from Go. For example:

- V has compile-time memory management similar to the Lobster programming language.

- V has zero-cost interoperability with C.

Check it out and decide for yourself. If you already know Go, you can learn V in an afternoon.

It wouldn't be anywhere near that simple:

* If there are security vulnerabilities in Mastodon and Google is hosting an instance then Google would be blamed, which means they would need to do a very thorough security review before hosting one.

* If they announced it and lots of people wanted to join it would probably have far more members than the biggest Mastodon instances do today, so they would want to make sure they had something that could scale horizontally. I don't think the current codebase can do that?

* There are various places where the current design of Mastodon doesn't match user expectations around privacy and control over their content. For example, if you delete something it looks to you like it's deleted but that delete may not fully propagate. By hosting a server Google would be taking responsibility for this, and would have people mad at them (likely with lawsuits) when it didn't do what they expected.

This isn't to say that Google would never get into the federated social network space, but it would be after building their own activity pub implementation.

> This was a serious feature deficit viz a viz the relevant iPhone at the time.

IIRC, the iPhone uses not just a photo from the selfie cam, but adds infrared to construct a sort-of-3d-ish depth map of your face as well - that is what defeats a simple attempt at unlocking with photos.

Now, the really interesting thing to research is if a silicone molded face mask could be used to fool the iPhone into unlocking. Photos or videos of the subject in multiple angles should be enough to create a decent enough 3D face copy.
Looking like it might drop below 98 cents soon. Interesting
except apple takes bug fixes and security 100x more than google does.

I don't understand what it is you want to communicate. The reason we mostly get away with minimal interaction with version control is because we plan our work to avoid (or at least minimize) multiple ongoing efforts in one and the same part of the platform - for reasons that are entirely unrelated to version control itself, not because someone on the team doesn't know how to resolve merge conflicts with Git.
But it isn't a kludge, you are supposed to use it for all files, you are just granted the option of not.
Reading the article, his track "30hz" was the first thing that came to mind. :)

Migadu is another awesome email solution. For my family and myself, we're on the "Micro" plan which works out to be 1.5 USD per month (but paid yearly). For smaller organizations and projects, we're on the "Mini" plan which is 9 USD per month.

Super cheap, very reliable and easy to setup. Never had any issues in the years I've been using it. I'm not associated with them, just a happy user that wishes them all the best.

I also wondered about this when I read the TOS.

e.g. 4. [..] You grant us [..] the right to [..] parse, and display Your Content [..] as necessary to provide the Service, This license includes [...] show it to [...] other users; parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it

As the Service now includes copilot, publishing anything on Github seems to give them the right to use it in copilot. Maybe even for private repos

Besides of the issue we're currently discussing, I wonder also about:

5. [..] you grant each User of GitHub a [..] license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking).

So if you find GPLed content on github, you might be allowed to violate the GPL as long as it happens only on github. I don't know how bad this is in practice. Their CI presumably allows you to run code for other people without granting them the rights the GPL should give them, but that might be a violation of the Github TOS as this might be abuse of the CI servers.

This might also mean you violate the GPL when publishing someone else's GPLed code on github, as you now granted Microsoft and others rights not included in the GPL.

Clearly, IANAL, don't know how valid this reading is, but publishing anything you didn't wrote yourself might not be on a very stable legal basis.

> Despite having all the hardware on the phone

Did Pixel phones really have a frontal lidar?
I really don't know enough about this topic to judge the impact, but from the data I can see this looks like it depegged lower than in the previous incident that was widely reported. That one was to 0.995 and this one is to 0.990 (at the moment I looked it up).
Pixel is on generation 7. Only two supported face unlock: 4 and 7.

6 was rumored to have it, but it was never delivered.

6 and 7 are equivalent hardware-wise for face unlock: neither has the sensors to do it in a highly secure manner. 7’s face unlock therefore doesn’t give you access to the most sensitive stuff, like bank accounts, requiring supplemental, secure authentication, such as fingerprint.
Other possible second order effects:

- The amount of content (video, games, audio, etc.) will increase by one or two orders of magnitude. It will be 10x easier to go from an idea to content. Thus, we'll see thousands of new niches emerge as a result

- The majority of internet content is currently in English and localized. Due to the perfection of translation, English may lose some of its luster since you can now provide services in any local language.

- Online personas that differ from real personas. Chinese YouTubers can easily make their way to France by using deepfakes and perfect translations.

- There will be a continuing trend of fewer physical friends and more AI/online friends, with the resulting psychological effects. This will probably lead to a reaction among a subset of the population to completely disconnect from technology.

- Content creation will become much easier. Writing a book, for example, will take one month instead of six. This will make distribution more important than content. There will be less emphasis on quality of content and more on how to reach the audience.

- As a result of the increase in new content, content is likely to become shorter. Since we have a wide range of options, it is unlikely that we will spend much time on just one. Therefore, perhaps games will take two hours to complete instead of twenty, books will be 50 pages long..

- Worldwide, we will see more and more Hikikomori. People that shut off from the harsh world into their AI created world.

- Lots of jobs will become assistant to the AI jobs. In a pizza factory I once worked, I noticed that most people were assistants to the machines: adding inputs, ensuring it did not make any mistakes, fixing the machine… I expect that lots of white collar jobs will become just the same. Reading hundreds of customer support messages per hour and fixing those where the AI made a mistake.
I guess I should mention that there's nothing wrong with selling an open source product, or selling services related to it. And it can work for sure, especially if you market it correctly.

The thing to note is that:

1. If you're sticking your code up on GitHub or whatever, you shouldn't really expect to make money from that alone. People will use it, and the majority of them won't do much more to support the project that give it a star.

2. If you do sell an open source product, other people can compete with you by selling the same code to their users/customers too.
VR isn't something average teenager can afford yet.

Reporting and investigation matters. Perhaps the initial report was only on the bypass of the lock-screen but the initial report only ran into the decrypted phone state so it was dismissed as not being exploitable (see other comments), whilst the second report actually got inside an active phone (And then was also written up in a simple, concise and reproducible way).
yeah right? after the article mentioned that he waited 2 months, I was already shocked, then he mentioned 3 months, and so on.. sometimes it's just annoying to report something really important and still you don't get enough attention.
It got "Theresa's and Aidsdorm" for "Turisas and Alestorm". Surprisingly, it got pretty close with the German band Schandmaul (something Alexa recognizes 100% of the time as Sean Paul), transcribing to "Schandmauel or Schandmöhrl".

But yeah, that is pretty close to amazing.

I kinda forgot about it after seeing that the Rhasspy community experimented with it, and it had issues with short utterances and a slow startup time.
> Avoid the banks, governments and middlemen and use bitcoin

Somewhat tangential. Some years ago, I was in a meeting where we were trying to solve a really thorny business issue. It was quite a small group but included some of the most knowledgeable people, in the company, on the problem at hand. We couldn't find a solution, even in theory.

As we were breaking up, one of the participants said that, although we hadn't found a solution, it was alright because the new system being built would solve it. The only identifying feature of that system at that time was that it was written in Python. Around the group there were a number of sage nods as they departed the conference room.

Statements like the Bitcoin one, remind me of that meeting. There's pretty much nothing about the nature of Bitcoin that helps this problem. In fact, one of its defining features (pseudo-anonymity) makes it worse than useless at trying to ensure everyone gets their allocation and just their allocation. And yet, with all seriousness, it can be proposed as a "solution". As if it has some kind of magic property that allows it to solve unsolvable problems. Like Python.
This happens because the Indian government does not yet have the infrastructure of NSA and or GCHQ :) They have to demand for the information instead :)
I'm not sure I understand your argument.

With math, you can just describe everything, including the human brain.

My original argument was specifically about neural networks, that I don't really see the principal difference in how a human learns from reading code, and how Copilot has learned from reading code.
From what I have heard, they may fix thing quickly but their bug bounty program is not liked and they skimp on paying higher payouts.

Ask HN: Where to Start with Android Custom ROM or AOSP Development?
I have always extended the life of my phones by flashing custom ROMs. Now I am curious about how this ROMs are built, developed and maintained.

Metabolism has to increase to incorporate a new source of load in daily life. When I started my job my feet were in constant pain but now I can stand for 7 hours with ease and I can stoop, kneel, lift with relative ease. That is just with 2 months from going from slug to lug. It takes too much discipline to hold an excercise routine for me but this new job is the right amount of activity without too much skelital stress.

But if people drink monster drinks and eat candy bars while doing all this, it won't make much difference. I still eat candy. I guess I just don't plan on doing it daily.

Is entirely intentional, because these are things to be worried about on the internet.
that's not true. You could be bartering. Or you could be paying for goods and services directly via crypto.

Exchanges are popular because it's easy, and also it allows you to trade _fast_. And then the exchanges figured out that they could be holding onto your cash and/or crypto, rather than, you know, actually be _just_ a location for which exchanges happen.

It’s odd that dismiss can even be called like that from a lock screen. I did not expect android to not have the lockscreen be just another activity.
I don't understand your comment.

There's a lot of value in a brand that promises you'll get what you came for, efficiently (and of course, delivers on that promise).
The _fundamentals_ of most new languages one might typically use take a pretty short time (weeks, not months) to learn, for experienced developers. Most significant real projects will need at least a couple of prototypes/POC's at the beginning. Thus a brand new project is a great time to learn a new language, you can make your beginner mistakes in code which will never ship.

This goes back to that "innovation tokens" thing though, a new language is one innovation and you don't want too many others at the same time.
As a consumer I hope this lawsuit fails.

Since the agreement between Amazon and Apple it was finally possible to reliably buy genuine Apple hardware and accessories from Amazon, often significantly cheaper than from Apple.com.

Before it was wild west. I don't want to buy used or counterfeit iPhones from random marketplace sellers and Apple preventing just that is a good thing. I don't see why a company shouldn't be able to decide who can sell its products. Of course pricing is a different discussion but from what I can tell Amazon is free to (and does) set their own prices for Apple products.
I don't really understand the author's sharing preferences. They're upset that people didn't ask them for their consent before sharing a link to their post, but I'm having trouble telling what the norm is. Should people be asking before boosting (retweeting) posts? Writing blog posts replying to our referring to them?

The internet norms I'm used to have public posts as available for that sort of response: if you shared it to the general world and it has a URL that anyone can load then it's fine to link to and discuss. If Mastodon has a different norm here then (a) that's going to be a hard lift because it is so different from the rest of the internet and (b) I wish people would make it clearer what the norm they're going for is!
The best part of TikTok is being able to see who is talking to you. Reddit has become less and less useful to me as I have aged as I can’t shake the feeling that I’m not talking to a person at all or if I am it’s a 13 year old edge lord pretending to be whatever.

So much information gains or loses value based on who is saying it. It also came out around the same time that every YouTube creator started stretching their content to 10 minutes minimum for ad revenue. I rarely want to spend 10 minutes on a single throw away topic which killed a lot of interest in browsing YouTube casually for me.

I know there are a lot of naysayers for good and bad reasons but if you are on the fence you should give it a try and it will likely become one of your favorite online spaces to spend time.
I can get away with not working for a couple of months, but earning some money would be helpful and gaining some experience in the industry would be great. I've thought about building a startup, but from what I've read 10-15h are not enough time to get a startup going.
Maybe ftx.us and ftx.com (international) were only segregated on paper, but not in practical fact.

I posit that there were many US customers of ftx.com whose funds were stolen. This means SBF is criminally liable and the DOJ can put him in jail.
> If miners drop out producing a decline in hash rate but transaction volume remains the same or higher, doesn't "the difficulty adjusts" imply that Bitcoin would get less secure?

It’s not incorrect to say, but you have to be careful with what you mean by “secure”.

The attack is one miner with 51% of the hashrate controlling consensus. This still doesn’t mean your bitcoin gets stolen, it does mean bitcoin fails it’s mission in that the one user controls which transactions make it on chain.

However the value of controlling bitcoin is proportional to the market cap of bitcoin. Hashrate also scales with the market cap. So arguably it would never be worth executing this kind of attack. The same is true of the zillions of tiny PoW coins out there.
And US and UK and Australian and basically all countries at this point.
