I don't really get to interact, except with a few users. For me, it's the idea that u actually built something useful, it's my own idea, and I have full ownership of it.

At my day job, the expectation are vague, I have no real power, the people who do can't answer my questions intelligently, and at the end it's like I did some miniscule part of a system that works just OK, but not up to my standards.

crt.sh is useful, but should NOT be treated as an authoritative and all inclusive source of information. They have a massive backlog of certificates not present in the database.

For example, do a search for 'google.com' and you'll see they don't have a single Google cert logged post 2020.
Great reading, thank you and best of luck!
Until recently, I worked with high schoolers. Many of them felt absolutely no social discomfort at wearing earbuds while having a face to face conversations. It wasn’t uncommon for a kid to very quietly listen to music during a conversation. This is AR in a different sense, and I expect the social discomfort of AR glasses/goggles will similarly be generational/cultural and fleeting.
Safari does not allow custom search engines, and this is the only way possible, also used by any other search engine with an iOS Safari extension.

Besides, Kagi Safari iOS extension is full open source:

IIRC lots of people had issues with EA even before they went all in on MTX.
AGI nonsense was always at the forefront of the EA movement. You can thank Eliezer Yudkowsky for that.

This does require dependency injection (DI), and my hot take is that manual DI > framework magic. Sure it's a little extra code writing, but folks should optimize for reading code, and some of the frameworks out there have a lot of complex concepts for DI (For example dagger is a popular DI framework for JVM, and the dev-guide has a lot of stuff in it, which feels like a lot to learn for what it's providing: https://dagger.dev/dev-guide/, no knock against dagger, I've ran into this with other DI frameworks too!)
> Banks inherently gamble with customers deposits, every loan is a gamble.

I wouldn't exactly call a residential mortgage a gamble.

Not the loan for my car either, the bank has first priority in both and demands I insurance them for the full value and for all eventualities.
>much of EA now seems focused on speculative concerns (AGI) rather than real ones (world hunger or civic integrity)

this has been the case since perhaps the very start of EA. many prominent EA/utilitarian faces and perhaps all "long-termists" have been involved in highly speculative stuff like that. it's a meme at this point, as they say.
Been waiting for years for the obvious ecosystem of fraud and hot air to implode and take with it the unbearable hype that has infected the tech space.

And yes, I believe a little schadenfreude is appropriate, given the circumstances and all the "Have fun staying poor" crap.
I would say that sucks but you were warned multiple times and still did it anyways so now you must deal with the repercussions
If it was my kid, both. Only soothing or only castigating would miss the opportunity to teach and learn. With a balance you can move forward and grow.
My (outsider's) understanding is that the "longtermist" sub-school of EA has grown over the years, and has developed increasingly convoluted and speculative rationales for behavior that would otherwise be considered unethical.

The example I'm most familiar with is calculating utils in terms of the expected total human population of the galaxy, were we to achieve interstellar travel: it's not inconceivable that orders of magnitude more humans would be alive in the distant future than are alive now, which makes their combined future interest more important than the interests of any (or even all) living human beings. Consequently, we should divert money away from the welfare of people living today and towards efforts that maximize the likelihood of a galaxy filled with colonized planets.

If that sounds ridiculous, it's because it is.
Well, my experience is that I post something or reply to someone that I don't get any feedback, so how could I ?

Camera off 100% as well; there's no reason to enforce seeing somebody's face; I often do not consent to giving MS Teams or Zoom my facial details in any form.

I find next to no benefit in it especially when talking abstractly about something as easy as a simple "i edited code" during SU; other than the bully-tactics of a company/boss to flex muscle and see who is obedient to their standards.

Also find looking at a wall of video's is highly distracting, and eats up the bandwidth - not really a fan of a voice-call when the audio drops out and gotta ask "what" 200 times.

Adding to the distraction is any screen-share (often with the tickets) adding in extra flashy videos of people is simply not needed.
I researched this a bit and based on other sources the issue was accidentally putting the landing gear into the up position when meaning to put the flaps up. Presumably this would happen while coming to a stop on the runway? I have maybe noticed modern airliners do raise their flaps before fully completing braking? Not sure if I'm just making that up. I have barely any flight training but if I recall the main purpose of raising flaps quickly is to lessen the effects of wind from the environment and other aircraft from pushing you around. But the B17 is rather large. I don't know. All speculation.
You can make PWAs of nearly every page. I do this to make 'apps' of Netflix and such. Don't have offline storage though, but at least you don't need the Electron stuff and you decide the extensions it runs (uBlock is a welcome candidate). There's also containers in Firefox.
The philosophies aren’t related beyond the fact that EA seems to view making as much money as possible a virtue if you use the money effectively, and the crypto space has happened to be the place where people are making the most money the fastest.

Turing award recipient Tim Berners-Lee was working at a particle physics lab (CERN) when he invented the web.

So what exactly were all of those "computer science" labs and the computer/software/networking industry doing at the time?

(Nothing against HyperCard, Intermedia, Xanadu, or America Online - they are/were interesting and/or successful systems that seem to have had some good ideas and features. And some 30 years later IPv6 does seem to be finally taking off.)

Work for hire always means that you do something you rather won't, and they pay you so that you kept doing that. Work has negative utility.

But a software developer job is the least worst kind of this. Among several areas I tried, engineering is the best. Compared to EE / embedded engineering work, a job of a backend software engineer is pretty pampered. It can be hard sometimes, but it's neither soul-crushing, not nerve-wracking, nor a constant race against the clock, and the pay is pretty good.

If I were rich enough to not need to work for money, I'd do much of the stuff I'm currently doing, only in somehow different areas. I think the only thing better than this is when you're directly paid do do you hobby, but it's rare in any area.
Coinbase is a perfectly normal company. They take your money and exchange it for crypto (and vice versa), taking a cut in the process. There's no funny business with tokens or lending out customer deposits. They are also regulated as a public company by the SEC and Delaware courts. If they do go out of business it'll be due to good old fashioned operating losses.
I understand. but an “I told you so” response is not your best. Be your best self.
$1B doesn’t rly reassure me unless I’ve misunderstood. Ftx had $6B in withdraws in 72hours (which they fulfilled) so I don’t rly think binance has shown anything that would provide real protection against a bank run like we just saw.
Yeah. To be clear, I'm not claiming that the AGI focus comes from FTX, or any particular monetary source. The claim is that "easy" money (or, more accurately, the prospect of easy money) from those sources has made those aspects of EA more prominent, drowning out other "schools."
But stating the obvious, not always actual physical distance since working remotely for example I don't feel like empathy is lacking. However it is an interesting component and I'm sure comes into play even with WFH.

There are lots of dumb HN comments on any cryptocurrency related topic. Most of them don't know what they're talking about. It's one of the topics where engagement here isn't worthwhile imo.

The FTX story is interesting though - mostly reads like an execution by CZ: https://twitter.com/jonwu_/status/1590099676744646656?s=46&t...

The main technical innovation of cryptocurrency is the capability to self-custody funds. People ignore this at their own peril. That said, bad UX will lead people to do the wrong thing even when their life depends on it, so it’s not a surprise it continues to be a problem.

My main takeaway from this is that Coinbase continues to be underrated in the crypto community and Brian Armstrong is a good CEO: https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/15900886737267179...

I'm a little surprised SBF was engaged in this kind of scheme, there's a pretty interesting interview with him and Sam Harris here: https://www.samharris.org/podcasts/making-sense-episodes/271...

Though I suppose Jane Street does select for people willing to take massive risk on bets they think they can control. It might have continued to work out too, but CZ saw an opportunity to destroy a competitor and had the capital to carry it out.

This is an incorrect understanding of history. Eliezer Yudkowsky more or less created the rationalist movement, out of which EA emerged, as a way of funding AI safety research. MIRI is older than EA.

Yes, true. But If can still feel empathy for that person you love, for what he’s going through.
It won't, but I feel pretty damn good about my repo getting almost 900 stars (https://github.com/tanin47/tip).

The github stars is quite useful to break into big tech as well. But the value of it probably stops there.
There's an important qualification on that page:

> This process will depend on the issue quality, and the impact on the larger user base.

So, if I understand correctly, they won't automatically close issues if you aren't a subscriber, but the bar for the quality to keep it open is probably significantly higher.

I don't think that's a bad model. Although, I don' think it would scale well to every open source project having it's own subscription stream. But maybe if there were companies that maintained collections of projects?
It’s pretty easy unless one or more of the following is true: (1) the site invalidates your session often and uses a strong CAPTCHA on login (you can hook up a CAPTCHA solving service for cheap if your usage frequency is low, if it’s a type supported by the solving services). (2) The site employs advanced automation detection and denies access, in which case you may be screwed. I’ve seen sites defeating puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth before. (3) the site uses a div soup with no discernible structure and random CSS class names, and the information you want doesn’t have uniquely identifying features, e.g. you want to extract some numbers on the page without labels. In which case you might have to resort to CV in the worst case.

Impressive skills. But maybe he should teach his techniques and train people?
"Using the money effectively" is the operative point: as more and more of the money in the EA sphere comes from cryptocurrencies (and other civically corrosive sources), the EA movement's notion of "effective use" seems to loosen.
Academics funded by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) of the U.S. Department of Defense? UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, University of Utah, Doug Engelbart at SRI International, a non-profit scientific research institute..

I imagine there's research into VR/AR funded by the government for military purposes. But somehow I doubt it'd be an open protocol and system like the Internet.
So their "Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU)" are crypto funds. If that's not pulling the wool over everyone's eyes. This industry needs to die.
Nobody was ridiculed for advising people to keep their coins in their own wallet. You were probably ridiculed for saying crypto is a ponzi. But Bitcoin's and Ethereum's prices are consistently higher now than they were 2 years ago. What's the bad outcome you've been warning about that actually happens?
The claim that quantum computers will never amount to anything is more nuanced than that. There is multiple parts to that claim:

- Shor's algorithm is about the only productive thing we've figured out where a quantum computer has an advantage

- IBM unveils 433 qbit computer, to factor 4096 RSA we're gonna need 8192 logical qbits

- Those 433 qbits are physical qbits, and there's (to the best of my knowledge) no literature on their measurement fidelity, coherence timelines, etc. These are purely experimental machines, it's not like you can plug your laptop into their giant cryogenic machines and run quantum algorithms without a giant team of literal quantum physicists standing by the thing and monitoring it

- How those 433 qbits actually translate into any amount of meaningful computation is up in the air

- The best we figured out was 5 logical qbits running a specialised Shor's algorithm on the 127qbit computer they unveiled a few years back to factor 21=3*7

- Nobody has, to the best of my knowledge, actually run the full Shor's algorithm on anything of note, even on these systems

Not a quantum physicist; I only have vague memories from a quantum computing seminar I took long ago. Feel free to correct if any of the above is incorrect.
We don't, but it's good for Binance, so we can expect Binance to do so out of self interest. Avoiding wrong way risk is standard part of risk management.
Sure! It’s an acronym for “technical director”. I don’t think it is standardized across the industry at all, besides it employing people that can code that are also familiar with art production in some capacity. Don’t let the “director” in the title scare you, it is primarily writing tools to serve production.

You might be working on tools to help set scenes, versioning assets, managing asset pipelines, tracking, CI/CD, rigging, managing levels of detail so that scenes are performant for animators, tools to help with animation etc.

I think you’ll mostly find this role in larger, more established animation and vfx companies. I think that applying for one of these positions would be the easiest way in. Apparently it is a difficult position to fill. My way was slower, I taught myself to code and started writing tools on my own time to help solve issues I encountered as a generalist at a smaller company with tight deadlines. I don’t recommend this way, besides as a stepping stone to something more formal.
This is called “the end justifies the means” and EA did not invent it, unfortunately.

I met Kurt Vonnegut in the next world, and he was hiding somewhere, not sure of what to make of the fact that he was in the next world, dead in this one. He was still Everyman, I noticed, and perhaps had something of his humor reawakened, because really, how could he take anything after death seriously? The last I saw of him he was chatting it up with Philip K. Dick, both believing that they were in one of the others' novels.
Beyond perhaps a smoke/availability test, I don’t know why you’d perform UI testing. Too brittle, too slow, too much of a pain to maintain compared to the value.

Galactic utility is ridiculous. But so is the other extreme, to act only on short-term utility. The asymmetry is that most humans don't need any encouragement to think short-term, but they do need some impetus to think long-term. But it takes wisdom to balance the two concerns. And yes it is a huge downside to any strategy that delays gratification that it can be "hacked" for evil, which is a problem more general than EA or "longetermism".

IMHO the single most important idiot proof of git should be a universal "undo" command.

- Committed wrong? Undo

- Switched to wrong branch? Undo

- Pushed wrong? Undo

- Merged wrong? Undo

- Wrong reset? Undo

There should be a "idempotent" undo for every action in git. If not, warn the user for possible outcomes.

In this way, we can safely learn git via trial & errors.
Ditto. Just because people call it "an asset" doesn't make it one. It's not an asset. It's no more than a Ponzi scheme, just a complicated one at that.

My understanding is that EA mostly came from Peter Singer's ethics. The "rationalist" movement adopted a lot of the language and metaethical principles espoused by Singer, but Singer has not (to my knowledge) indicated particular interest in AI. The books I've read by him mostly focus on animal welfare and human welfare in developing nations (cf. "doing the most good").
I use Fossil for self hosting code on my own domain, it's running on a fan-less PC with daily backups to the cloud using restic. It's just so nice, no social pressure and it works for me when the internet is down. I am currently in the process of setting up Concourse CI, it's a really nice config driven ci system.

Also, it doesn't have to be a "one or the other" thing, you can use both GitHub and self hosted for different things. That's what I do, GitHub is for work and things I want to be social, and my own hosting is for private code or code that I want to share in a "take it or leave it" kinda way without any of the social stuff.

I highly recommend hosting your own git/fossil/etc... system for yourself. Think of it like your own little place that you can setup exactly as you like.

> When a bank makes a loan, it creates money.

The bank must reach some level of capital requirement to make this loan. In other words, if the bank does not have enough reserves, they cannot make this loan.

The bank can use customer deposits as part of their reserves. They can also borrow from another bank (presumably, paying them interest). Lastly, i think central banks also have a reserve borrowing method (but not sure about this).
I haven't implemented that yet, but had it in mind. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to my list :)

LLVM is lower level than Python or Java bytecode. LLVM is also virtual machine in the sense of an abstract machine, similar in idea to a process virtual machine.

> If it's taking miners too long to find blocks because of a decline in hash rate, the difficulty adjusts

Bitcoin hash rate: The amount of processing and computing power being given to the network through mining is referred to as Bitcoin's hash rate. [1]

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?
