The following is snarky, but since it got published in The Atlantic (-- a well known publication?), what does it mean?

Proponents of LLM generativity may brush off this concern. Some will do so by glorifying GPT’s obvious and fully realized genius, in embarrassing ways that I can only bear to link [1] to [2] rather than repeat. Others, more measured but no less bewitched, may claim that “it’s still early days” for a technology a mere few years old but that can already generate reasonably good 12th-century lyric poems about Whataburger. But these are the sentiments of the IT-guy personalities who have most mucked up computational and online life, which is just to say life itself.

I suppose this was a worthwhile announcement, as I was unaware it had been superceded; in fact, I have grown so far out of touch with Python version numbers that I was not yet aware 3.7 had been released!
Many people carry Narcan (the most common form of naloxone, is used to counteract opioid overdosing). It is a nasal spray. It is standard equipment for paramedics. Since I'm a patient at a pain clinic, I have to have some in my house and my family (also roommates, if I had any) know where it is and how to use it.
Possible, but it's also kind of irrelevant. Essentially there's nothing within his described skill set that would affect the Raspberry Pi boards themselves.
This seems reasonable for working with C APIs.
It's ok for small blocks or code, maybe a function or two, even a whole class, but beyond that, it's pretty pathetic.
Even the small blocks of code it outputs only compile a few times and have a few errors. At this point, I would be wary of using it in Production systems.

Having said that, I usually compare it with Junior programmers, more like someone just learning a new programming language. You can expect that level of performance from ChatGPT!
What tools do they use? It's not hard to build a dashboard in Grafana and show them there the metrics they want, in an easily-digestible format.
My personal Bluetooth experience also improved drastically when I finally got around properly importing the pairing keys from Windows into Linux. Now everything works flawlessly.

If anyone is dual-booting Linux and Windows, here's a gotcha to keep in mind: Bluetooth pairing works using keys associated the MAC address of a Bluetooth interface. If you pair a device on Windows (key A) and then try to pair/connect to the same device after booting into Linux (key B), it simply won't work without anything telling you the real reason: To the device it looks like someone is impersonating the host interface, since it was previously set up using key A, but suddenly someone (Linux) pretends to be the same host (MAC address still the same) but with key B. The solution is simply looking up the key in the Windows registry and then using the same key in Linux.

Unfortunately, the process is a little complicated, but the Arch wiki page [1] does a really good job of explaining this nowadays. I've previously tried to set this up a few years back, but it didn't really work. Perhaps the wiki page was expanded in the meantime, or I simply did something wrong back then.

Just posting this here hoping I might be able to help some people wondering why the hell some of their devices just don't want to connect on Linux.

By the way, AFAIK some devices just don't care about the keys, that's why you might only have issues with a subset of devices.

The weather data that the circumvention provides access to is not copy righted though right? From other comments I gather it comes from public data and is not the companies.

If so it would not meet the criteria in the first sentence of your link:

> The Copyright Act also prohibits the circumvention of technological measures that effectively control access to works protected by copyright.

That is an interesting corner case, not sure if it is a bug or a feature.

> Finetuned permissions cost to implement. GitHub doesn't have them (maybe we wouldn't have seen this post if it had).

They exist for github apps, and they're being rolled out for PATs alongside forced expiration: https://github.blog/2022-10-18-introducing-fine-grained-pers...

Not sure there's any way for them to happen for oauth apps though. And even if they do, they're opt-in for the app and the old broad scope will remain. At best the broad scopes would only be accessible to old apps grandfathered in but that ain't much (there's probably a billion abandoned oauth applications you could purchase for that grandfathering).
That’s not the point. The point is that “I take responsibility” is like “You all have my thoughts and prayers”. All talk, no substance. It’s better to say nothing than to say empty things, when people are losing their jobs.
Would love to see some great hardware there as well. Something like a macbook pro line but with Linux on it.
But that doesn't exist either, as the state sets the rules for businesses (what tarrifs apply on which goods, what property is protected, what barrier are set for entry, etc.) and is also potentially a major client of the market, deciding which services is chosen based on state's own criteria.

If it does as you say then at least in the United States it may actually be considered a form of fraud. By clicking an ad that you've hidden, you're essentially telling the advertiser to pay for something you didn't even see.

6) We're talking about dick pics and hookers here, from someone who isn't a politician. It's like saying Tom Hanks is unsuitable as an actor because of Chet Hanks' latest antics. Grow up.

That’s what I’m wondering.

Apple has gotten three states on-board with digital driver’s licenses in the Apple Wallet.

Login.gov supports a variety of identity providers and OAuth.
I believe github doens't even have a scope that gives read access but not write access. So we users have been trained to just grant that scope to people who really only need read access, because it's the only thing that works. And in general trained not to even pay attention to those scopes anymore -- on github specifically -- because they are such a mess, and third-parties routinely need scope overreach to do what they want.

So I do think github is broken here in a way that predictably leads to problems like above. They need better more granular scopes (and have for years; I don't understand why with their resources they haven't prioritized it), and then they need a better UI for making sure the user understands what they are granting, differentiating between read vs write, etc.

Without that... it's only a matter of time until something much worse happens, like someone abuses a scope to insert malware in someone else's repo. I would not be surprised if it's happened already but hasn't been publicly known.

BUT, also... you sign up for a service that will for-pay get around captchas for you so you can automate access to a site where the captchas are intended to prevent automated access, and then you're just shocked that this service would do something unethical...
Yes, but the issue with your comparison is that you are comparing amounts across categories.

Fraud losses are definitionally realized losses, whereas gross crypto transaction volume includes things like a single entity rebalancing funds across wallets or exchanges.

On a chain with low or zero fees, a single actor can trivially generate billions of transaction volume like that on a single day.

Really? Very high? My uneducated guess is that there's a very high chance of damage to the airplane, but not of crash landing, and certainly not of death.
Ah, right, so `out_ptr` works with any unique_ptr and shared_ptr, doesn't have to hold the `default_deleter`. `default_deleter` would call `delete` down the line, which does not match up with `malloc`.
if you enjoy these types of state hijinks, "Directorate S" is a good book that goes over a lot of traditional spycraft. Plenty of simple gags. turn a corner, jump out of the passenger seat, and have the driver put up a cardboard cutout the same shape as you to lose a tail, that's one I remember.

Maybe proctored exams (or oral exams) will become more prevalent, and the homework less important. Or the homework will be meaningful, independently of the tools.

Evidence for the claim?

Here’s some counter-evidence: I just did an HN search and found this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33838556

Seems like it got plenty of attention. If you think a different take on the issue deserves attention, try submitting it. Plenty of stories randomly fail to get traction (there are several analyses of this) so you would really need to show a significant sample size of these stories getting zero traction before you could imply they are being purposefully buried.
Most of these things are pre internet, and don't account for the fact the patient may have read up on the diagnostic instrument.

I used to literally sit reading the DSM and associated inventories during in school suspensions, if you do not have a chemical imblanace, most of psychiatry is bullshit, and folks should self medicate with cannabis and low caffeine drinks like black tea rather than risk the permanent cognitive harm and withdrawal symptoms of SSRIs often prescribed to bring your behavior into compliance when you are reacting to the antisocial actions of others.

(Therapy, OTOH is useful, but therapy needs to define goals and and exit strategy, or it can turn extortionary -- paying someone to certify your sanity as they siphon up your deepest fears and desires... and then obstructs them through inaction, since if you're on HN, you're going to be as smart or smarter than the therapist.)
Google Earth was an acquisition and long pre-dates Chrome. They later phased it out in favor of a web app which, IIRC, at first only ran in Chrome.
I don't know really, I'm just trying to come up with the least bad solution. There's a lot of corruption even in the scientific community, and major disagreements even on supposedly "settled" science.

Maybe some kind of international organization with (elected) representatives who manage rule sets and audit AIs with the help of scientists. Maybe an open source authority of some kind.
There's a fantastic concept called racing to the bottom.

Small countries can afford to be tax havens because even getting 1% of a multibillion company covers their needs well enough. Meanwhile, the country housing the thousands of workers, damaging roads, using infrastructure, healthcare, etc, get nothing. Global tax minimums are the only way we have a society that keeps functioning.

> In not sure about India, but in AU, we have the option to receive USD payouts to USD accounts in Australian banks, so you can avoid Stripe's conversion fees.

I tried that, didn't work. I opened a local USD account in my non-US country and tried to add it for payout to Stripe. Stripe only allows (at the time I checked, please correct me if that has changed) US based USD accounts with ACH routing information.
That's paranoid nonsense. Attack drones don't regularly take out other countries' satellites. There is no way to hide such activity in orbit and it would be obvious to everyone, including amateur civilian observed.

Here's the real situation. All of the superpowers have some level of kinetic anti-satellite weapons capability and have conducted a few isolated tests against their own satellites. The X-37B drone spaceplane may have some anti-satellite role but has never been used operationally in that capacity.
Europe can be even worse - in Germany, we still have the legal concept of Störerhaftung around that can expose hosters to significant legal liability.

Agreed that there are categorical tiers of CI times (instant, check something, grab a coffee, grab a lunch, see you next day) and optimizations within a tier don't matter.

I will say blocking review on CI is unneeded and, depending on your system, dramatically slows down down your whole process. PRs being posted is the main notification people get. If people instead poll for CI being done, then you'll get significant lag. This shouldn't negatively affect things. The biggest risk is CI pointing out a change big enough to invalidate the review but that has been rare in my experience. CI should just be treated as another reviewer.
> The government must act now to support the housing market and prevent a potential crisis.

When house prices were going up in the past decade, property owners were getting richer while doing nothing, landlords were collecting higher and higher rent and regular people were priced out of owning a home, the government did nothing. But now all of a sudden it should intervene because prices might go down?
w.r.t phishing: a maintainer intends to publish a release, will go to their GitHub Actions build log, and will click the link in the build log. So it is not a typical phishing scenario where one gets an email without context and clicks the link. Please let me know if I am missing something.

This is over the top even for the CIA, but they were definitely capable of being monsters. In the case of Gary Powers the agency fought hard to avoid a prisoner exchange and even internally claimed he had defected intentionally. His wife was even committed to a psychiatric institution: not so much to threaten Powers, but just to keep her from embarrassing the agency with her drinking. Ultimately they went ahead with the exchange partly out of fear that Powers would learn what they’d done to his wife.
I don't think that's on Google. I tried it last time using git. Having learned more about git: the defaults are not well suited to large repos. Worse: it's not easy to get the right settings.
Want some free NFC tags? We have some
To celebrate our launch on Product Hunt this week we would like to offer you some of our NFC tags for free.

So here is the deal...

Vitag is a NFC system we created that makes it easy to add video instructions (and more) to anything so anyone can instantly see them with a tap of their phone; no app or QR code required.

Think of them as video sticky notes.

You can see the details over at Product Hunt
https://www.producthunt.com/posts/vitag

Because we need your input on what we are building, we want to make it easy for you to try it out at no cost; no shipping charge, no credit card. Nada.

1. Just to to https://vitag.site/discount/PHStarter2022?redirect=%2Fcollections%2Fstarter-packs

2. Pick a card pack from our pre-printed NFC cards.

3. And check out (use discount code PHStarter2022 and you pay $0).

So what's the catch?

The cards work with our free app (iPhone & Android) that allows you to add content (including video) to the tags. And yes, the tags are locked, available in the USA only, and limited to one free order per person.

However, you can stick the tags on walls or desks and the app is cool and doesn't cost anything and has a ton of features.

This is not a sales pitch (kinda, but not really), all we need is people using the product and then telling us what we need to do to make it better for you.

Will we charge for it in the future? Yes, but right now, no. And no, you are not obligated to buy it in the future. Seriously, we are trying to make this risk-free and easy for you.

So what can you do with them?

When you go to https://vitag.site/discount/PHStarter2022?redirect=%2Fcollections%2Fstarter-packs you will see we have a lot of different types of use-cases we are targeting. Of course, Learn More tags are pretty generic but we also have tags for Wifi. Take a look.

Next, in the app, you can add content to the tags including video, links, text, wifi instructions or even (and this is coming out in a few days) redirect the tag to a URL you specify.

Even better, we built-in reporting so you can see when a tag is scanned and what they did with the info on the tag.

And for everyone that already has an NFC tag, we have a utility in the app so you can format it to work with our app (basically, use any NFC tag you want with the app).

So if you are interested and want to try it out for free, then great.

Otherwise thank you for reading this far. We love NFC technology and hope you do as well.

> the dynamics that incentivize that long tail of scams are worth worrying about in my view.

Is this any different from the stock market? There are about 6000 companies listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ. According to [1] there are about 10,000 penny stocks traded OTC. Not every NYSE/NASDAQ company is legit and not every penny stock is a scam, but we're still looking at an awful lot of fraud out there.

Seems like the incentives for financial fraud are obvious and eternal.

The first couple of times it happened we were walking into the lobbies of neighboring buildings scouring for our delicious 8-corner.

I am now happy to report our 8-corners get delivered to the correct building lobby.
