Congrats to the team.

I looked briefly at the relnotes[1], there is some scary stuff, such as this vulnerability in ping(1): https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-22:15...

Since a lot of code is shared between BSDs, I wonder if others have the same vulnerabilities.

My mind immediately goes back a few years, to when high-end Land Rovers were being routinely stolen, because their "smart" keys were trivial to hack.

Regulatory suggestion: Any landlord with "smart" locks and an app is required to maintain an extremely large insurance policy, to cover the "if the app system is hacked" scenario. And any extra premiums which tenants' insurers require, because of issues with not-so-"smart" systems? Landlord pays.
A lot of IoT tech outside of India uses Chinese products as well. Consumers don't ask questions as long as it's cheap and looks cool.

I remember a talk from a few years ago where someone in Germany could unlock all rent bikes in the vicinity by sending the Chinese manufacturer's default password...

I feel a bit like Dune 2 may have been one of the last games that everybody played. (Doom 2 was probably the last.) I never played much Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Warcraft or Starcraft, but I loved Dune 2 and played the hell out of it.

I guess this was about the period that the computer gaming hobby started to separate into different genres where people started sticking to just one or two favourite genres.
Yeah that's actually terrifying to think that if my phone runs out of battery (which happens all the time) then I won't be able to get back into my house (or at least doing so will be highly inconvenient.)

Or god forbid I want to step outside my house without my phone. I need a phone in my pocket just to take my dog for a walk? Hard pass; I'd never want to live in a place like this.
Related to "not caring" is "realizing that others don't notice near as much as you do".

It's like hearing your own heartbeat as you're trying to fall asleep. No one else can hear it; they also don't notice slight pauses nearly as much as you do. Take the time you need and plow through it.
And if anybody for any reason prefers Android, there's also an unrelated port of Dune 2. Not anywhere as cool as Dune Legacy though.
I dont rent often but definitely go with Enterprise when I do. They are the only one left in my city that offers unlimited mileage and my typical trip is 1800 km round trip so it matters.

Last trip Enterprise was fully booked so I did try Budget. Their office is so small that you actually have to arrive at our local airport and THEN call the attendant who comes in from her house to book out your car. That took almost an hour.

The return process is even sillier. Write your mileage on a poorly photocopied slip of paper, and drop it on her desk with the keys. No pics. No checkout inspection, just 'trust us not to charge you extra'.

Fortunately I took a ton of pictures including the odometer so when they couldnt do math and tried to charge me an extra 1000 km, I fought back with pics and got those charges dropped. That's the last time I use Budget.
We are also affected by this since Sunday. All our sites hosted in scaleway with Cloudflare are very slow to load (sometimes up to 30 seconds) and we get back 520 errors every now and then.

"Cryptocurrency is the only thing currently being developed that can realistically combine the benefits of digitalization with cash-like respect for personal privacy."

Only Monero and Grin have any real expectation of privacy. Chain analysis is pretty mature, and the records exist forever.

For one thing, these galaxies were observed and cataloged - something that already puts them on unequal footing with most of the universe' galaxies. Furthermore, of the catalogued galaxies, how were these particular galaxies selected for inclusion in the study? Humans are very bad at choosing things randomly - even when assisted by computers.

I only started using MacOS a few months ago. For the first ~2 weeks, I hated it. I actually remember thinking that it felt like a poorly implemented clone of MacOS ironically. But the truth is, whilst you can jump between Windows and most Linux distros (even Fedora) without much trouble, MacOS is an entirely different beast.

For example, I learnt that, completely different than Windows, on MacOS you're not really supposed to minimise windows, at least not as you would on Windows. Instead, you open the command centre or whatever its called and switch between them. Workspaces also arent an optional extra, they're pretty crucial to using the OS if you have multiple windows open. Its for these reasons I can see why people praise the trackpad so much, its actually preferable to use over a mouse because its so deeply embedded in the flow of the OS.

I'm not saying MacOS is objectively better in its workflow, for that I'm still not sure what I'll end up using as my main computer, just that its different and should be treated as such.

Loved Dune 2000. It's definitely more palatable than the original, but it's worth playing both D2000 and Dune Legacy. It's really too bad we aren't getting anything out of the franchise anymore. I liked the new 4x, but it lacked the personality of the older games.
An important part of the art is music is development. You can't do that in a handful of bars. It just boils down to a blitzy intro, like jingles: catching attention, but no sustenance.
> Van Meegeren was tried, convicted and sentenced to a year in prison in 1947. Nearly two months later, he died of a heart attack without serving even a day.

What the article doesn’t say is that he originally was charged with selling Dutch cultural property to the Nazis, for which he could have gotten the death penalty.

That made him confess that he sold a forgery. They didn’t believe it, so he “painted his last forgery between July and December 1945 in the presence of reporters and court-appointed witnesses: Jesus among the Doctors, also called Young Christ in the Temple in the style of Vermeer.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_van_Meegeren#Trial_and_pri...)

That got him of the hook for the death penalty, but also, of course, 100% unmasked him as a forgerer.

Well done. Great comparison. An industry that needs five nines of uptime on their power supply in a country with worse solar resource than much of the arctic is totally representative of an industry which only needs to keep interruptions below 4 hours, has costs dominated by electricity and is adding it to reduce the bills.

What an incredible insight.

ChatGPT likes to repeat words that were mentioned in the prompt. Especially this is noticeable when there are no synonyms. In your short paragraph, "ChatGPT" is mentioned 5 times (!). So in some hypothetical situation, where Stackoverflow admins decide to write a detector, they could use it. And if bot owner decide to skip detectable messages (maybe by using a discriminator for updating weights), then the quality of answers will decrease even more.

> There are many industries beside software where good software engineers are needed and you can do good, challenging, and very innovative work "to make the world a better place".

Honestly, such as and how?

I worked for one company I thought had a good mission, and a good product (it wasn't ads!), ahead of its competitors. Lackluster marketing, then we got acquired and inept management sunk it, and ended up with those of us who worked on it laid off and it's all gone, now.

I'm in healthcare now, but it is really hard to move the needle. There's no way around integrating with providers, and they're driving a lot of absolutely bonkers technical decisions. I spent a lot of time building out brand new, but completely broken, things, because there's nobody designing the system.

Meanwhile recruiters routinely hit my inbox with information-free cold pitches. I'd kill for a lure that had bait attached to it. The last email that had a salary attached wanted a Senior Software Engineer but was offering less than what I started at in the industry as an entry-level engineer.

> don't work in the bay

I left the Bay, and it's not really changed anything from a work/career perspective. But I don't think it's morally acceptable to tell people to "just leave"; what if they have a home there? family? connections? Perhaps giving it all up might be the most pragmatic thing, but it might crush a soul in the meantime.

That said, the political climate of the Bay was "head, firmly in sand" when I left. I left partly because I do not see the Bay, collectively, being capable of solving the problems they face. (There are a few people trying — including a friend of mine I left behind. But they're hopelessly outnumbered.)

> if it matters to you

Maslow's hierarchy. Real rent is up, nominal compensation is down. People are getting laid off left and right. Being a millionaire is practically a pre-req to home ownership near any city. (And companies include "geographic adjustment" in compensation these days.)

My point is not about doing anything special with their customer's data, it is that if they didn't do anything beyond the basic processing needed for their services to work it would be straightforward to migrate their offerings to Europe complying with local laws.

Instead, if you are used to doing whatever you want with the data you store it takes years to build an European service since many parts of your process need to be reviewed and maybe even rebuilt.

It was about time for those laws to finally kick in and we started to see a change.

> pop songs seem to be becoming extremely short sicne only a snippet is needed to blow up

That is approximately what happened during the punk-rock era.

A bunch of musicians were tired of overly-complex neo-classical jerkoff that was popular in the age of Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull and just decided to write three-chord songs with a catchy melody and get rid of all the complexity.

Perhaps this is an introduction to some kind of neo-punk era? Probably not, though.
It doesn't matter. Governments decide what you do on the roads. It doesn't matter much if the you inspect the open source bricks making up the road, if the government can stop you from driving there.

Unfortunately most companies don't exist to make the world a better place, most companies exist to make money - the more, the better. And if you want to make more money, there's definitely a temptation to use unethical (while still legal) methods. And companies that make less money tend to be bought by companies that make more money, which tend to be higher on the "evil scale". Or sometimes, a not-so-evil company will buy a more-evil company which then eats them up from within, like Google with DoubleClick or Boeing with McDonnell Douglas.

> smokers are on average lower IQ

Source?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18606723/

> Results: Lower IQ measured at ages 18 to 20 was weakly associated with increased prevalence of smoking, independently of indicators of mental illness and social misbehavior measured in late adolescence. By contrast, smoking cessation later in life among those who smoked at ages 18 to 20 was not associated with IQ. Among smokers, lower IQ was significantly associated with a lower level of smoking after adjusting for other factors.

> Conclusion: Low IQ was associated with an increased prevalence of smoking in adolescence. However, the main part of this association disappeared after adjustment for measures of mental health and social function in early life. IQ was not associated with likelihood of quitting smoking.

I just mentioned gabber and breakcore (“music from 25 years ago”) because those are genres that people typically consider a bit too much. I could have name-dropped the SVBKVLT label [1] for a contemporary example of electronic music I like, that might be too much for the average listener; but I don’t think it would have rang a bell for most people on HN…

Anyway, I was never really “down with the kids” per se in terms of pop music - I found the genre too vapid for my taste. But it was at least some sort of music. These TikTok soundbytes (I would consider “music” a misnomer) on the other hand are downright sonic torture devices straight from some MKUltra mind-control cookbook.

This must be satire right?

Day after day it all sounds crazier and more idiotic. And it is not even game development company with fixed shipping date for product. Not that even that could be justified reason.
Almost every corporation and startup is cartoonishly evil (in that it stupidly and persistently refuses to look at people, except as a vehicle to increase the high score - money). If I may ask, is there some sort of sector you've worked in that kept the corporations you worked for stricly neutral or better?

I must admit I'm a little skeptical that they were not strictly amoral (which given the right incentives always tends to an almost ridiculous amount of evil), but I would really like to believe it.
> So my conclusion from this post would be, if it matters to you, don't work in the bay?

I believe you can find "problematic" companies everywhere. If it matters to you, go look at the pay. If they're paying enormous sums, they believe they can make much more. "Good things" usually don't offer that kind of profit margin.

That's not to say that shitty pay = good company, there's plenty of terrible people who are evil AND offer low salaries.
Did they really break older installs though?

I read it like the change cut off the access to newer versions and older versions still work as before.
As a side note, IMHO good ol' zapping (on TV) has been effectively killed a long time ago, when "modern" TV's came out.

Once changing channel was instantaneous, since several years it has a delay/lag that takes most of the fun out of it.
This. The majority of companies I know of are evil in just one way: they want your money, and sometimes they will go to great lengths to get it.

The big villains in USA are not that powerful in some other places, because people and their governments reign them in.
people were jumping into conclusions about this event without knowing about this context. it was still a net negative imo, but the way the restrictions existed because of "black money" reasons.

however, if you love the freedom of holding cash the way you want, then this was definitely not a good time.
