> You should give a concrete example

This isn't a perfect example, but -

I was at a personal development workshop a couple of weeks ago.

One of the participants was expressing a lot of fake positivity. I (and a lot of the other participants) got a bit annoyed by that - it felt to us like he was lying every time he opened his mouth. At dinner he asked for "honest feedback" on why other people didn't like him, and what he could do to be more appreciated by the group. He got what he asked for. Several people told him how they felt when he talked. He got really upset hearing that - saying he was being bullied by the whole group. Something he's experienced a lot of throughout his life.

How can you be honest with someone like this without him being able to turn it into an attack? I don't know if you can. The shadow part of him is too clever. Should we have refused to give him the feedback he asked for? The same pattern played out in small ways a few more times over the next few days. Someone would say something in the group which related to him in some way. The next morning he'd try on a versions of the previous day's events in which everyone else's stories were about him. And he was always the victim.

In a work setting where people don't have complete information, he'd be a menace. He could turn anything he didn't like into an instance of "bullying and harassment". I don't think he does it on purpose, but that doesn't make it any better.

Even weeks after the retreat I'm still thinking about him - I have no idea how I'd deal with someone like that if they were in my life. A soft "believe all victims of harassment" approach would encourage his narcissism. But his pain still seemed real. It felt like I kept having to choose between self abandonment (staying small, lying about my feelings) or risking hurting this guy. I hated it.
I went through the previous version with Rust. It is almost entirely language agnostic. It could be in sign language.
If only there were some way to issue digital “tokens” in situations like this..
Chechnya is a region of Russia and always has been, how can Russia invade itself? And let's say Chechnya is some kind of independent country that Russia really invaded, in 1994. So you had been born before 1994 and only recall three US invasions since then???
I did some Language Transfer briefly, but only after I had already learned a significant amount of French with other tools. Then I did it again for a bit when my son wanted me to learn German with him.

While I can't really speak to its efficacy, I really liked it, thus would probably stick with it, thereby making it effective.
Sorry that happened to her.

There's also some mental concept where people already got started or went so far, and subconsciously don't want to believe they've been had, so keep going. I'm sure there's a name for it, I can't be bothered to look up. It's why romance scams are so common, and also why that McDonald's manager undressed that employee, for example. Fascinating, but sad.

Keeping kids off social media is good -- I signed up for Gamefaqs with a pormanteau of my first and last name and some of the evil people I met follow me across the net to this day.

But forcing children to present more ID to use the net than in the PRC is not a step in a positive direction.

The real solution is to put the computer in a semi public place, but that works less well than it did back before gift cards, burner phones, and ubiquitous wifi -- too many times I've had to tell a kid something to the effect of "You shouldn't be in this application, I am not going to call the school since I've met your teachers and they'll just smell blood in the metaphorical water and victimize you, but dear lord treasure this time rather than try to meet weird 30 something year olds on the net who might literally murder you".
Ashamed to admit I was once a Certified ScrumMaster. I’ve grown to realize that it’s too difficult to implement. The gains, if any, aren’t worth the effort and overhead. As the agile manifesto says: “Individuals and interactions over processes and tools”.
The registrar earns the delta between their retail price that they charge the end user and our wholesale price that we charge registrars.

Edit in case a simple answer is viewed as stifling discourse: I probably write around 20 checks per year. Mostly to local vendors/laborers or for youth fundraising activities. I receive checks for fundraising activities that I host. Venmo is basically the same, and getting more common.
The exchange rate is not exact-on day. It's not exact-on-month even. I switched just a couple domain names from USD to TRY and calculated the exchange rate and e.g. $180 domains go for TRY 3200 which implies USD/TRY 17.78 -- last seen in July.

If the price of forum.dev is indeed $850 then the attached TRY 13040 invoice implies USD/TRY 15.34 which was last seen in May. The $12 domains go for TRY 75 which implies USD/TRY is 6.25, last seen in 2020.

It looks to me that the prices in TRY are simply set by hand and not refreshed that often. OP got a nice deal via such manually set price in 2021 and that's all that is going on here.

System Integrity Protection: The misunderstood setting
> Hold up with this one. The author of this article appears to enjoy and appreciate The Tipping Point (as apparently Tyler Cowen did, at the time, and me as well, though not any more). That's problematic, because the society we're a part of (HN, the Internet, whatever) has roundly concluded that Gladwell is a farce, and it's become a genuflection to that society to dunk on Gladwell wherever his name pops up.

Maybe they're reading him to learn social engineering, like one reads Mitnick (who is also not good but has produced... interesting... work.)
Why not? Of course!!
> I plan trips to Germany every year because you really do need immersion to get to even basic fluency.

That's not necessarily true, unless consuming lots of media in the target language counts as immersion. I became fluent in English without ever traveling to an English speaking country.
I just realized something like this is probably what happened to my favorite band's website after they disbanded and lost the domain. I was so confused as to why the site became so generic looking. It didn't seem like a fan run page either.

The article focuses on human overrides, but I think the more obvious and gaping security issue is lack of any significant ability to verify output correctness whether it’s intentionally gamed or not.

I predict nearly all of the upcoming LLM products will end up being fancy autocomplete suggestions a user will then have to feed into a more constrained system with some sort of manual confirmation/tweaking.
Nowadays, that isn't how it started.
Okay, my true story:

I set my phone's language to French, so I get constant practice with the UI. That means the Google Assistant talks to me in French. I've had decent luck making requests and getting information in my target language.

One night, as I was getting ready for bed, I said « okay google, reglez une alarme pour 6h du matin ». My phone responded, "Sorry, I didn't catch that?"

So I said it again, and it responded the same way. I enunciated, I changed the conjugation, I sped up, I slowed down. Couldn't figure it out. Just wanted to set my damn alarm, I looked at my wife and said, exasperated, "I don't get it. It thinks I'm speaking English." That's when the light bulb went off in my head: I speak English. It's my native language. "Okay google, set an alarm for 6am." "Okay, setting alarm for 6am."

I had actually forgotten that I spoke English and couldn't communicate with my phone.

Fool? Taste buds aren’t sentient. So maybe you mean “activate”? But even then, just because something has taste, that doesn’t imply anything else at all.
Points out the original Myst had 2500 images. Even if an AI tool was so good it only took you 10 minutes per picture, that'd be around 416 hours of work, or 52 eight hour days. Presumably some things will need to be reworked, so probably quite a bit more.

It'd probably be easier to create an ordinary 3D game world. I'm not going to claim 3D art is easy, but you only need to make your Myst island one time, and then you can just move the camera around.
Im not a c programmer or otherwise work this low level, so im probably missing something obvious.

What is the point of making something immutable if you can just create a new write-exec region? Surely if you have enough control over the process to change permissions on an existing memory segment you have enough to mmap a new region with the permissions you want?

Does solar panel efficiency get affected much angle of incidence? I.e. are you losing out on any power by using large panels to cover the ground instead of having smaller panels that are steered to cover the ground in shadow?
Yeah, we know how it works. It's a gigantic inference and association machine, not legitimate intelligence or creativity. You don't need to tell people this kind of thing here. We understand technology.

The comment deserved half the effort I put into it, and this one deserves a quarter of the effort I’m putting into it.

No one forces anyone to pay a domain squatter. This is literally a “problem” that only exists in people’s heads.
OK, that makes a lot more sense.
XP is maybe the purest example of the basic problem. If you're good enough to actually practice XP, you don't need a methodology at all. You'll do the right thing in each situation. Methodologies are for those who aren't good enough. And apparently they always find a way to pervert it into its opposite, because people never get tired of exerting power and maintaining an illusion of control.
that doesn't even launch on device without gapps, while Duolingo, Drops, Memrise and others have no problem with that, seems like extremely lazy devs
I used to be in the poor camp. Like, frequently borderline homeless and living at my aunt’s house in a camper in their driveway.

It’s not universally better than when I was merely well paid and affluent, even if heavily in debt. But not having to worry about whether to buy food or pay rent is quite a huge difference. My kids will never know the struggle I did. I can’t say whether that’s good or bad. I have a more well rounded perspective than most other techies

The bad grammar was a tell for me - did not even come close to being plausibly from a native English speaker. That said, I can understand how someone who very much needs/wants a job could could fall prey. I hope things work out for this guy.

Ask HN: How to find clients in the US?
I’m an experienced dev and am now in the process of starting an agency, or venturing out on my own as a contractor. I’m based in Eastern Europe but my goal is to find US clients to work with, mainly because of potentially more interesting projects, and higher pay. What do you think would be the best route to achieve this? Does good work speak for itself, should I incorporate in the US as well, perhaps fly-in and make connections in person, anything else that could help?
It's not compatible with FOSS from a dogmatic point of view, but I think it's a pragmatic way forward given how AWS and other actors act. I dual license my company's products in this manner.

Ask HN: Why are physics and math majors omnipresent in diverse research domains?
When I search grad student profiles in CS and financial research groups, I often find that there are students who did their undergrads or even masters in mathematics or physics.

Although they are in minority among a huge number of CS grads, but that is not the point. I don't find that many biology or chemistry majors being everywhere in such an interdisciplinary manner.

What makes physics and math graduates so strong to work in wide variety of domains? What is the skillset they possess?
As someone researching generative models, this is one of my pet peeves. There's been a rat race to show off high quality cherry-picked samples. Very few works actually show random samples. It is rather frustrating because when pointed out it still goes ignored. I'm not sure why we look the other way, aren't these issues we want to solve? But if you tried to publish a paper with random results you won't get accepted.

I am also not worried about AI taking over art, exactly for the reasons you say. Even if alignment was a whole lot better you're never going to be able to perfectly describe an image in your head. Language is too limited. So it will always be a tool. Of course, it can enable fraud. But not many people are putting digital arts on their walls.

The other pet peeve is that people think generative models are only image or text. They so so much more.
I understand, I had that same belief. My thoughts were that faking checks and money is dangerous and stupidly hard, and since jobs pay you, the idea that it was a scam never came to my mind until way later when I was asked to wire...

btw you could disable leagues by stop sharing your progress, but they hide this in web settings, not possible to switch it off in the app, that makes learning less stressful

now after they introduced path UI I uninstalled it after more than 1000+ streak and keeping in phone Drops and FunEasyLearn, second one looks very childish and amateurish, but I actually like it, seems less pushy with dark patterns than Duolingo where whole new Path UI is dark pattern to make you cough up money

> They said that the domain transfer fee is $843 and that they have nothing to do with it, the pricing is determined by registrar(Google in this case).

The wholesale price is determined by the registry (Google), but the retail price will include markup from the registrar (Namecheap, Porkbun, Google). In the case of .dev Google runs the registry and acts as a registrar. As for registrars, that comparable (6b.dev) is $709 at Porkbun, $720 at Google, and $843 at Namecheap.

Namecheap is marking it up more than the other registrars.

I wonder if your registration last year included any kind of first year discount. This is the first time I've seen someone show an actual receipt for this type of complaint. I estimated the pricing at about $315USD vs $700USD. That's enough of an increase that I'm really curious to know what happened.
But don't they keep the original webRequest api in a way where it does not block and where an extension can observer all the traffice, do all the spying, but just cannot block requests?

You aren't the only thing using the memory. If you create a new region only you will be the one using it.
That was the biggest flag to me.

Nobody in any kind of business uses @gmail.com. Maybe some Etsy person selling out of their extra bedroom, but that's it.

Domain names and email hosting is too cheap to use gmail for business. Even if it was a legit business, I'd stay away if they couldn't be bothered to do that minimum.
A Yubico FAQ about passkeys
Completely disagree, the service needs to be free. One of the reasons bus service is such a mess is that people would rather use their cars than a bus so there's very little incentive to make bus services any better. It's a catch 22. Bus service doesn't get better because ridership is low and ridership is low because bus service is bad.

Free bus service will increase ridership which in turn will improve bus service over the long run. One very important point, the service needs to be safe and clean. Otherwise, it will be an ugly mess that no one wants to use.
It sounded right when I read it aloud and I'm still recovering from the flu. English is my first language but I still make clumsy mistakes with it.
Didn't read the article as I'm out on the streets, however, I used Duolingo but it was very basic and it never became difficult. My biggest issues were with conjugations and I found another app called ConjuGato which helped me with that. What taught me to speak and understand was moving to a Spanish speaking country, meet a girl, found friends through her. Learned a lot of slang from listening to reggaeton and asking my friends what the lyrics mean...
I don’t know how to phrase this and it might be a bit of a ramble, but your reply is something I’ve been thinking about with atom. I personally hated eclipse, due to it feeling constantly like everything was it’s own package and not really working together, but recently was trying out emacs, and was quite impressed. Atoms philosophy sorta reminds me of the two where it’s “everything is an extension”.

I guess my question is, is how did this work out for it? I never gave atom a try, but did it feel like everything sorta worked together? Or was it more of a eclipse feeling where every package feels like it’s own separate object?

Vscode is a decent out of box experience but it’s custom ability is rather limited imo. Would love to give atom a try if this community version succeeds at all.
Take a step back for a moment. The point your making is that wage slavery shouldn't exist as an interesting or separate category because all organisms have to work to live. This is like saying that sex trafficking isn't conceptually important because species must reproduce to survive. It's so wildly beyond the pale that it's difficult to categorize it as a particular breech of logic other than simply and fundamentally confused.
I agree. I’m trying to learn German now and I keep failing lessons because I screw up gender and conjugation stuff.

I wish there was a way to tell the app that I don’t give a shit. Even if I learn all the genders perfectly, I’m still going to be fumbling over words in an American accent. A few incorrect “der”s are not going to make me unable to be understood. And I can correct that later.
>I do think Duolingo has great value but I do think the second group I described is seriously wasting their time.

which is why I stopped using Duolingo after they introduced new Path UI with 1000+ day streak, but by the end it was just daily chore to not break streak instead learning anything new, now I have two different apps in my phone which I use only when I want without trying to fulfill some streak, will probably keep just one to refresh vocabulary
Paul Graham has a very nice perspective on this: https://www.paulgraham.com/opensource.html (2005)

"I think the most important of the new principles business has to learn is that people work a lot harder on stuff they like. Well, that's news to no one. So how can I claim business has to learn it? When I say business doesn't know this, I mean the structure of business doesn't reflect it.

Business still reflects an older model, exemplified by the French word for working: travailler. It has an English cousin, travail, and what it means is torture.

This turns out not to be the last word on work, however. As societies get richer, they learn something about work that's a lot like what they learn about diet. We know now that the healthiest diet is the one our peasant ancestors were forced to eat because they were poor. Like rich food, idleness only seems desirable when you don't get enough of it. I think we were designed to work, just as we were designed to eat a certain amount of fiber, and we feel bad if we don't."

By definition of “social status” or by definition of “cultural”?

That something is malleable doesn’t imply that it is infinitely malleable.

Also yes, more work does not correspond to higher status in any monotonic way like that. This doesn’t cause any problem for the claim that some people would opt to do more work in order to gain more status?

I kinda get where they’re coming from. Those kinds of companies are really rare. Generally management wants to squeeze as much out of labor as humanly possible, to the point where they demand exclusive access to one’s entire labor availability.

The fact that xxEightyxx has found not one, but two companies willing to pay six figures for a functionally part-time employee is pretty mind-boggling.
