I suspect it 'knows better than you'. Self-curation leads to a boring niche whereas ignoring what you want in favour of what you linger on - even if you're lingering out of rage - leads to more engagement.

I'm beginning to think that collective distributed satellite offices is going to be big. Like WeWork but for companies to house their local staff and far less culty. Would help if they had standing desks, folding treadmills, three screens and everything else for a superb dev experience that is a bit of a pain to set up at home.

Unless it goes below 0.92 USD (all time low of USDT, in 2017-2018, which it recovered from), I'm not sure it's as big deal as you make it sound like.
> As far as I can see, porn will be almost completely AI-generated within the next few years

How confident are you about that? I can see AI taking over a small subset, creating new categories etc, but I doubt the sheer breadth of porn available on the internet is going to get replaced.

I would expect to hear that fake video avatars have completely taken over OnlyFans before AI is generating picture and audio perfect lengthy porn scenes that covers the vast array of categories porn sites offer. Maybe this is happening though and I'm just unaware.
Combined PV inverters and EV chargers can be 20% more efficient by staying in DC instead of a double conversion and let you fast charge by using grid power and solar simultaneously.
I want to agree but there's a lot of counter examples.
Ya how is possible? They supposed to have a 1 to 1 with collaterals to cover the valuation.

Well, is pretty obvious (and everybody knew it) that is not the case.
But note how you invented only the better half of Instagram. The other half is all the "social" shit: "Tell us your email to see more John's photos", "Have you seen recent posts from Kate, Mike and Cristiano Ronaldo", etc.
Creative and innovative - absolutely not. Effective - mostly not, except in some situations. There are many ways how to be ineffective tho, this is one of them many. I think that you dont need to be super effective to compete in the technology industry.

Will he be able to compete? I dont know. Musk twitter moves seem incompetent overall to me. But so far, his charizma and money (to certain people) did allowed him to get quite far in his previous companies. He did treated his previous employees pretty much the same way.
I assume that holders of USDT are, perhaps, concerned that Bitfinex and Tether are similar to the FTT token. They may wonder if Bitfinex has Tether on its balance sheet and that the Tether is not actually backed by reserves as claimed.

In May, Tether weathered a significant liquidity crunch and recovered its peg by July.
I don’t think “ corporate publishing systems steer people's behaviour” to …. share things they find interesting.

I think that’s just a human thing.

A lot of what is described here just seems like human behavior, and I do not understand the authors description of it as “a violation, an assault”.

There’s a weird glorification of the current participants of the fediverse in that article and yet outright rejection of anyone new, and by the description of the article no interest in welcoming them.
The earlier laws were explicitly against printers. They were for scribes, and indirectly for the church, states, and other powers that controlled the scribes and wanted to limit the spread of dissident views.

At least according to most histories of copyright I've seen. Wikipedia seems to agree:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright#Early_dev...
I think the real danger for the Mastodon/greater Fediverse community is that, should Mastodon really become the "next Twitter", it will catch the attention of the other FAANGs. And the way the Fediverse is structured currently, it appears highly vulnerable to the old Embrace/Extend/Extinguish playbook:

1) Establish a corporate Mastodon server and deeply embed it into your existing platform. ("We love the Fediverse! We love it so much that we've built native support for it into Google mail. That's right! Starting tomorrow, every @gmail address is also a valid Mastodon user! No need to sign up anywhere, you can just follow and toot and boost right from your Gmail app!")

1a) Think influx of a few 1000s of users is bad? How about a billion? [1]

2) Bombard the community with proprietary extensions and attempt to take control of the technical standards. ("We love ActivityPub too! That's why we're planning to add YouTube integration to it! And Google Calendar invites! And Maps locations and advanced emotes and and and... Developers of servers and third-party clients are encouraged to follow our new ActivityPub Extensions living standard. Feedback is encouraged!")

2a) Non-FAANG server admins or client devs now have the choice between continuously playing catch-up on technical features they have to implement or tolerate that a large part of messages become incomprehensible to non-FAANG users.

3) Pull up the drawbridges. ("While ActivityPub is great, we feel that ultimately it limits the platform's potential and does not meet our standards for privacy and security. Therefore, ActivityPub will be sunset at the end of the year for @gmail.com. Third-party clients and servers are invited to implement our web API instead. Just register your server as an app in the API console and apply for a key...")

I think the Fediverse community would do good to think up strategies how to counter EEE takeovers right now, because if at some point Mastodon becomes big enough that there is money or influence to be made by controlling the platform, then someone will try a takeover, sooner or later.

It was >1.00 recently, it all depends on external factors ( like btc increased to 21k before dropping to 16k ) because panicked people trying to get money out by buying btc, then converting to usdt and finally converting to hard cash.
One thing not mentioned: people are paid to participate in clinical trials. For example, in a vaccine clinical trial I know about, participants are paid over $1000 (in dribs and drabs over the course of the trial, as a retention mechanism.)

With tens of thousands of participants, this cost adds up.
On iPhone, keys are evicted from memory when the device is locked. Apps running behind the Lock Screen can only write files to special file inboxes (this is why the camera lets you take pictures while locked but doesn’t display earlier pictures, for example)

You’re telling me that android keeps keys in memory for its entire uptime?
The need for strong human authentication will be more obvious. Biometrics as currently done with cameras etc will be easily hackable by AIs adapting signals to sensors. I don't see how this can be done in an absolute way, uniquely for a person from cradle to the grave without government-style infrastructure.

Veracrypt is still updated and is battle tested. These features sound cool, but it'll be a hard sell for people at risk of repression, when tried and true things already exist.
> Viewers appear to be perfectly happy watching AI-generated content

That's true now because it hasn't proliferated yet, but I don't think it will be true for much longer. I think there will be tipping point. When AI-generated content competes with AI generated-content to game the ranking algorithms driven by AI-generated user accounts that write AI-generated comments you end up with something that's not optimized for human end-users anymore.

> modern AI is not meaningfully better at generating low-effort posts than content farms are

It's not better, but potentially 100x cheaper. Not yet, but soon. That means a single developer in a 3rd world country can do the work of a content farm. Maybe you're right and that won't change anything, but I think it will.
I’ve had an IoTaWatt running for years without any issues. I’ve used it to pinpoint the exact time two refrigerator compressors failed. It’s been handy for all kinds of other stuff.
What a weird argument. So if the law enforcement of your country uses this technique to unlock your phone without your permission(or you know, some criminal does that), that's your fault for using a Pixel phone? You should have known better than you know, buying a phone from one of the largest software houses on the planet?

I smell a fair hint of victim blaming here.
You are implying that this kind of divergence has happened often in the past, which would then make this one not notable either.

If you have any such sources to back up that claim, perhaps you could post them here to support your deletion request?
iOS has had many flaws this bad or worse, so what would you have people use?

I agree current gen smartphones should not trusted for high risk uses but the reality is, they are. There are staggering numbers of people using their phones for banking, crypto trading, or to transmit sensitive information that could collapse markets or start wars.

Also consider not all journalists or dissidents get a choice in what phone they can afford.

Security issues like this can be life or death, and security researchers must sometimes -force- companies to treat them as such.
This blog post doesn't make Google sound much better in that regard.
I would argue that means it’s not pegged (which is fine!). But people seem to think there is a peg on usdt and there isn’t, at least not as the term is used in traditional finance.
@pimlottc, I wonder if you have any spare/used/old ThinkPad/laptop that you can give to me for free? It will be life changing for me!

I'm currently really struggling in life (I barely eat once a day at the moment) but I'm really passionate about Linux/free software. So, a free laptop could really help me get local jobs (sysadmin or web developer for SMEs), put food on the table, & pay rent! Thank you!
People always use the term 'second-order effect' to describe basically a knock-on consequence, in other words an effect, which I find slightly annoying. Especially here the example of video game streaming, this is not a second-order effect of high speed internet, this is just... people using high speed internet.

Even genuine knock-on effects don't seem right, ie. you build a road to Scotland, now Scotland has car traffic, next it has pollution, next it has sick children - these are all just consequences of the road.

In my view, a true second-order effect is one where the original effect starts being influenced by it's own consequences, which is much rarer. A good example for widespread ML in the form of stable diffusion models would be that the amount of images in the wild from stable diffusion grows so large that models start being trained more and more on their own outputs.

You could say the same about youtube, all you mention and much more. Yes I know there are differences.

What irks me with these sort of uncritical apologists is how they see it as second coming of Jesus, when all I ever seen praised about tiktok keeps me hard in 'meh' category. I am sure its addictive as I see it clearly in other's people kids, but so is heroin and I feel 0 urge to get hooked on it nor make it available for my small children.

Life, and its ultimate quality and beauty is something completely, utterly different thing. It never came, comes or ever will come off the screen.
That's precisely how you would keep a peg: let the market enforce it and bear the brunt of the speculative action, then intervene brutally to restore the peg and reward those who held the line with profits. If you do it a few times, nobody will bet against the peg ever again.

Of course, this is all predicated on you actually having the massive assets required to fight a speculative market. That shouldn't be a problem for something like USDT which should be backed 1:1. So let's sit back and enjoy some price discovery (though I wouldn't be caught dead in USDT).
I'm well aware of the difference, as acknowledged by my first post in this thread ("not in a way that's pleasant to listen to"). But it is not pedantry, and it is relevant to the context, because this unusual form of dynamic range provides evidence as to when the dynamic range compression was applied. If it was applied after the edits described in the article, I do not think we would not see the volume spikes.

I do not see a single complaint from Gordon about the dynamic range, only the editing. But there is a paragraph in the article suggesting the dynamic range was intentional:

"Marty says that Chad, apparently working in a hurry, only had my supposed “bricked” in-game score to work with. He points to my so-called “bricked” score and adopts that as the reason behind Chad’s poor editing. But not only is Marty confused and clearly doesn’t understand the mastering process, but he also seems ignorant of how Chad’s editing introduced significant problems."

Note that there is no objective definition of "bricked". I personally tend to prefer higher dynamic range, but I've heard plenty of recordings with higher dynamic range than I would like. It seems very likely that some people prefer lower dynamic range than I do. Arjuna attributed the dynamic range to some unknown "they". There is no evidence for this in the article, or in Arjuna's linked Twitter thread. I believe the most reasonable interpretation is that Gordon deliberately chose low dynamic range as a stylistic choice. If you disagree, how about providing evidence?
One point in there - data management. It varies in cost because on the upper end, that includes support for data change requests for the life of the trial. Zillions of people involved, human error, need paper trails and sign offs to fix most things.
Ask HN: Is there an equivalent of “whisper” but for text-to-speech?
Some of you have probably seen the recently released whisper model from openai. Having this go two ways would open up for some neat conversational ai ideas, as in having two AIs discussing with each other, say backed by GPT3 but the output form being perfect audio/speech

So is there something as "state of the art" as whisper but for text to speech/audio?
Not really. We don't need replicators to provide basic needs. Ordinary volume manufacturing can cover that nicely, and more sustainable approaches can be used when we cease to program obsolescence.
The Golden Rule of Personal Finance
> From a compiler perspective, using a function makes the most sense, since that fits into the existing control-flow analysis that the compiler will do. Pragmas are processed by the pre-processor, so they aren't appropriate for expressing control flow hints.

This seems par for the course for all C++ stuff: it's designed from a compiler perspective, not from a programmer perspective.

The correct way, IMHO, is to design features that supports the user's workflow, not to design the same feature in a way to make the compiler's job easier.

> `htonl` are not standardized, so they were not part of the C++ standard library.

They're POSIX standardised. The decision should have been to adopt something that exists in an existing and widespread standard rather than the worrisome not-invented-here syndrome that I see here.
I can't tell you how often I still see operating system level rotation bugs from iOS on my iPhone/iPad. Complexity kills.
That's odd - Selenium has been my go-to when I need to scrape and Scrapy won't suffice (I'm not doing anything too huge in scale) and it handles web apps well. I do have a lot of waiting for elements to be visible, admittedly.

Although both are secondary.
All it takes is for there to be low demand on one or more exchanges and for them to not quickly enough place buys to prop it up as people choose to sell lower rather than hold.

It could mean a great deal or not much at all, and doesn't really tell us anything about the proportion of collateral unless it depegs much more and they fail to get it under control.
The slides are interesting; I found the text commentary a good supplement: https://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2022/11/hpts-2022/
What do you mean? The market sets the price so it's not like it's magically fixed at 1. If it depegs it's because people lose confidence in it and don't trust the $1 value, but there's otherwise nothing special with it.

This can happen even if it's actually fully backed (which I doubt).
Show HN erxes – open source Hubspot alternative
Hi HN family ! We are Nauren, BJ, and MJ from erxes - open source Hubspot alternative enables SaaS providers and digital marketing agencies/developers to create unique experiences for their entire business.

We’re recently launched our product erxes XOS v.1.0, though we've in the industry for a while and started with the mission of making marketing technology accessible for all companies at any stage, including the ones in their early days.

Though due to marketing being inextricably linked to other aspects of business such as finance, core operations, and human resources, we’ve ended up expanding our business scope to include many additional features and improvements that are non-marketing upon the request of our clients. We now have EXM (employee experience management), PXM (product experience management), and delivery, which goes on and on…

This is why, today, you can not fully define erxes as marketing software anymore. It is now an experience operating system.

After +58 enterprise clients, +60 new features, +480 Active SaaS signups, and +1M installs, +$2.8M raised in the pre-seed round, we began to realize it was time to focus on the community and are transferring bootstrap enterprise-focused OS project to community-driven one.

With our Marketplace, where you can learn about all of the plugins erxes provides, as well as place your plugins and earn income from the sales.

Plugins are features that can work independently to fulfill the particular purpose of enterprises/developers, such as sales pipeline, delivery, etc. We have 30+ plugins on our marketplace right now, and more plugins will be added daily.

You can also develop your plugins to place them in the Marketplace. So, that can increase the source of your revenue.

We would love that the HN community to take a look at what we've been up to, and looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Best,

Nauren, BJ, and MJ
The number of long-running bugs which have been found in popular open source projects suggests that “many eyes make all bugs shallow” should be remembered as an amusing bit of 90s trivia like Swatch Internet Time.

What seems to matter more is how many auditors are actually digging in and how aggressively secure coding practices are applied. It certainly doesn’t seem like there’s a big difference between the two in terms of security but Android has more people using old software because their manufacturer didn’t want to ship an update.

This is false. Companies may claim to use Erlang in marketing materials, but when you get into them you see that their Erlang use is miniscule. Almost no one uses Erlang for greenfield developments.
Oh cool, my brother used to wish out loud something like this existed a few years back when his wrists were really killing him. He's wrists were so far gone he couldn't even type on a ergonomical keyboard for any greater duration of time, so he used to wish he could just talk instead.

For me, I got a ergonomical keyboard before my wrists went bad, and so far they seem to be holding up!

Moral of the story: get a good keyboard early, or you might need a tool like this one someday!
Yeah for purposes of the reward it should only be allowed to be considered a dupe if it duplicates a disclosed bug.
It looks like (not an expert) they did not use a state machine there. Those kind of behaviors are better detected with them. But I am just thinking out loud.
Ask HN: What is the best way to move crypto from an exchange to a cold wallet?
Given the recent, umm, news...

I have some BTC and ETH in Kraken and would like to move them over to a cold wallet to protect against hacks and exchange insolvency. What is the best way do that?
Was Kurt Vonnegut a nice man?
Are you actually using BTC as currency? Have you done anything but traded it? We all know the answer--that's why this meta commentary on money is pointless and pathetic.
I don't even have my first dev job yet and I hate it. But we don't work jobs because we enjoy them, we work them because we like to eat, stay warm in winter, and dry when it rains.

Liquid Death strikes me as just an example of the "Gen Z blanding" described by that table in the article (ironic, maximalist, etc.). And that was basically the impression I got the first time I saw it in a store: just another dialectical evolution of cheap, cynical irony that I didn't find surprising at all at the time and I wouldn't be surprised if we see imitators in all kinds of brands in the near future.
This doesn't indicate anything about the collateral, its a measure of sentiment and fear.

I think we’re still far from being able to generate long, coherent videos, but lots of progress is being made. One thing seems clear, all you need to make a good model is lots of data with lots of metadata like captions, and if there’s one thing the internet is full of, it’s porn videos with titles and captions and categories.

I've seen multiple instances of Google failing to correctly triage critical security issues. I can only conclude from these organizational failures that Google leadership doesn't really take security seriously.

It wouldn't be technically hard to do but somebody at Google just doesn't care. I have to begin every navigation command with "take me to the closest-" because if I don't Google will ask me if I want the Pizza Hut that's four miles away or the one that's thirty-eight miles away.
