They could have added Jackson Hole, Wyoming to the list and it would seem equally strange. Kind of a small town with billionaires that you don't really know about unless you've either been there or read specifically about it.

In Canada I'm not aware of any rich people small towns (unless you consider Vancouver, West Vancouver, or Toronto, or the Shaunhessy neighbourhood of Vancouver), but there is the Muskoka area of Ontario where Kevin O'Leary's wife recently smashed her boat into and killed someone
I recently decided to give Apple Maps driving directions a try and was surprised to find that it notified me of a driving hazard (a trashcan on the road) in my lane a few seconds before I would have hit it. Does anyone know how they detect something like that ?

"I don’t know if anyone ever buys PS printers at all anymore."

IPP printers advertise their formats with the document-format-supported property.
One valuable thing that did come out of that is that it proved your monitoring works and you caught the attack quickly. I also had a similar experience in where we were getting bombarded with alerts from our wifi controller all of sudden. It turned out that a pen tester showed up in the middle of the day and started to run “scans” probably with Nessus or something.

I could have done all of this myself and saved the company tens of thousands of dollars but I think management insisted it came from an outside company. It would be nice though to find an actual pen tester from the back alley of DEFCON who you have to pay in crypto or precious metals and have them do some actual hacking. :)
Elon announces deletion of 1.5B inactive Twitter accounts
I asked it to give me song lyrics, and I got complete fiction. What's funny is that the fiction sound like it could be the accurate song lyrics given the song title and band, and it was poetic too.

If you're curious, I asked it for "Bukowski" by Modest Mouse, because I wanted to see what its interpretation of the song would be.

When I fed it the correct lyrics, it claimed to recognize them, and apologized for the inaccuracy earlier, then had some intelligible things to say about it, until it reverted to analyzing the made-up song lyrics.
I'm sorry you lost access to your github account, but let's be fair. This is not a legitimate application for managing your stars, this is a page that was committing fraud and probably requested access to your account in exchange for committing further fraud on your behalf. You were already logged in. Why did you log in again with github? Because it asked you to, and promised you more rewards if you did?
> People seem to think it's the browser's job to block ads, but my perspective is that if a business owner wants to make their business repulsive, the only sensible response is to stop using the business. Somehow once technology is involved to abstract what's happening, people start talking about how it's their right to unilaterally renegotiate the transaction. Or for another analogy that will likely make you upset: "I hate how this store charges $10 for a banana, so I am just going to pay $2 and take the banana anyway".

What if every business owner has decided to make their business repulsive, because that's a winning strategy for them?

The "don't just use that business" idea has never worked if your goal is actually to change how the market at large behaves. See the much larger industries such as food (boycott factory farming) or energy (boycott fossil fuels).

Ultimately, when boycotting a business, the customer has to bear a harder cost than the business owner: The business owner loses one transaction while the customer loses the entire service. It's only effective if large numbers of customers would quit as the same time, which is almost impossible to pull off (see above).

"Cheating", such as blocking ads but using the service anyway is one way to solve that power imbalance and actually put pressure on sites to look for another business model.

In practice, I run `systemctl list-timers` to see all the timers that exist. That could be implemented with timers in a section of the unit file as well. But by being a separate file, you can have package that installs the unit and another that installs the timer. You can use symlinks to enable the timer and delete the symlink to remove the timer.
If you want people to use your authentication then you can not start banning accounts depending on which sites they authenticated against. What's next? "that political site was not in our view"?

If the offending site is causing issues they should just delete that oauth key and prevent the site from using "sign-in with github". How hard is that?
Fortunately that feature isn't used outside of enterprise environments. Apple's passkeys don't support it so there will not be any mainstream adoption for requiring an attestation cert.

At Twitter's volumes, lifting of restrictions manually doesn't scale. Speaking as an outsider: how I would design it would have the lifting of restrictions being automated and set up at the time restrictions are applied (set on a timer or deletion of an offending tweet). Lifting of restrictions manually would be far less frequent than applying them.

With that in mind, I get the distinct impression that the LoTT account was being treated with kid gloves/white gloves.
It's called bootstrapping. It's the hard part of any new language, esp lower level ones. Your first iteration will be very manual/low level, until your compiler gets sophisticated enough to compile itself, granted your trust it enough to do the right thing. It can take many iterations to get to the point that you trust your compiler works well enough for daily use to build itself and then you can slowly start discarding the older pieces from earlier iterations.

On some level I think Rust will become a major player for building compilers with (and obviously drivers), and since it is a portable executable and safe/predictable, there is a good chance the the compiler dev won't need to switch to his own language to compile itself, unless ofcoarse a point of pride, some specific functionality that rust cannot do or if the person just don't like rust.

Compiler development is a different beast altogether from most forms of programming, and I highly recommend you build a basic one as a hobby project. It will let you appreciate the shoulders of giants we are standing. Same goes for 3D/physics engines, audio/signal processing and so on. Building a basic filesystem or database that supports indexes and a strict schema that has some form of relational theory in it is also highly enlightening and will dispell the magic of sql engines (and make you appreciate those that came before you and their struggle to get where we are today).
It appears this is based on the Chinese lunar calendar, they did it the same way in China back in the day. You start at 1 and get older on Chinese new year. So you can be 2 a day after you're born. :-)
There are lots of French residents who work in Switzerland, based on the length of the border I'd hazard to guess a much larger number than Monaco. In the case of these, they are taxed in Switzerland, not in France, saving them a LOT of money.

I've always wondered how that worked, because in Switzerland you are taxed based on the area you live, not the location of the company you work for.
That makes no sense. An enby is saying they don't have gender, not that gender doesn't exist. In fact, if you don't use gender words for everyone else you're sort of throwing shade at them.

That sounds like a liberal feminist from ~20 years ago, trying to remove words that they think are used to oppress people. Like the people who invented Latinx.
Yeah is really refreshing, I was expecting the worst like the OP getting banned/sued by the airline and detained by the TSA.

The big thing is prestige, it takes some pretty big brains to write good, clean production infrastructure that doesn't fall over every five minutes.

Those big brains are absolutely capable of learning the math and doing the creative work of modeling.

They want to do the creative work.

Which means that if you create a prestige gradient and don't let your engineers do interesting things they themselves might get a paper out of, you lose good engineers and get bad engineers instead.

This is also a constant problem. In DevOps and SRE, the very best devops and sre people are absolutely incredibly mercurial and mercenary - because they've been fed total lies about building systems again and again when the net job description is "hey ops person, this application I wrote is misbehaving can you do advanced troubleshooting on this server for me do I can go do leetcode".

Yes, but so it goes back to my point. If Google cloud is storing your private key, probably not cyphered with your biometric because they would have also to backup your biometric data to backport on the other device. So they have everything they need to use it pretending to be you with your device.

From what I've read (which I guess is largely speculation, although by people more familiar with the topic than me), the B-21 doesn't really push the envelope. The only really new thing is the airframe itself, but that largely piggybacks on stealth technology development over the past several decades (RAM coatings, shaping etc.) compared to the B-2, and not some entirely new R&D done only for the purpose of the B-21 program. The engines apparently come from the F-35, but obviously without the afterburners (an entirely sensible choice considering the F-35 is supposed to be manufactured in very large numbers and supported for a long time into the future). Electronics is supposedly stuff already developed. Etc. etc.

If true, then yes, the B-21 has potential to be relatively cheap to build and operate.

This is a lot of bad logic compressed into little text. We open with someone unnamed somewhere said foo, !foo ergo bar. This doesn't follow at all. They have given it there all under ideal conditions the best they could do was insufficient and no matter how many people they in theory induct it just goes downhill from here because scaling up their war machine meaningfully will take years they don't have. Giving twice as many people little pieces of paper declaring them combatants doesn't scale your war machine. Training them extensively while expanding the logistics underlying their ability to fight does.

Nobody ought to think Russia will collapse in days but likewise nobody ought to look at present circumstances and believe that they can do this for several more years either.

Meanwhile there is no reason to believe the pittance that is being given isn't sustainable for years. In fact its basically paying to wreck your enemy for pennies on the dollar. It's a fantastic deal and we can basically afford it forever.

The people that would be setting the precedent don't do things like invade each others territories any longer. Its a standard they not only can afford to set its one that would benefit them.

Please support your position that western support or Ukrainian manpower are anywhere near the end of their rope.
> It doesn't because no append-only log does.

Then it doesn't solve the problem people in the space have. I understand the visceral hate for web3, I do, but it really gets in the way of talking about a very bland technical issue.

I think you're misunderstanding what this service is. It's about access to Blockchain data not about running a chain.

> A view of the final state of data is literally one of the things they require, and everyone knows how to make one.

That's one thing it needs, but only one thing. Keeping up to date with this is a problem of monitoring mostly to keep on the right side of any forks. It's not a data problem, but that's not what the API is providing.

> Omg they traditional web2 tech cannot work at the amazing scale of web3" is such a bold-faced lie

It totally would be, but it's not what the site said. It's literally just saying that they're doing better than off the shelf tools because of guarantees most other problems don't have. And I'm not surprised, the data isn't of a crazy scale though is a bit annoying, access patterns are extremely predictable and depending on which APIs you're supporting building a specific thing for it is fairly straightforward.

> The amazing scale of web3 can barely process a few hundred thousand transactions per day, all of them with minuscule payloads.

Nobody is talking about ingest speed really. Unless you're also applying all the state transitions because that's quite annoying.
> I'm sure Snapchat, TikTok, Tumblr, YouTube, Pornhub

Secretive moderation being common doesn't make it normal or right. It's certainly not widely known. For example, I was on a podcast from Aug. 24 this year talking about shadow moderation [2], and the host says around 27:50 that Twitter is not doing this, only excepting "the algorithm". His point, I believe, was that humans were not manipulating content, and I agreed that I was unaware if that was happening.

Plus, if the use of such secretive tooling were widely known, there would be no need to keep them secret.

The claim has always been that secretive moderation is used to deal with spam. Yet, spammers are the most likely to check the visibility of their content. So the net effect is that secretive censorship hurts genuine individuals the most.

+1 to this. I got locked out of my StackOverflow account because they stopped supporting my auth provider, I think a couple of years ago.
> Twitter is a private company that wants to sell advertisements by enabling people to have happy conversations.

No, Twitter's mission statement is "to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly without barriers" [1]

Nothing in there about 'happy conversations' and, while selling advertising has been and may continue to be a means to fund this mission, it is not part of their mission. Means are not ends. Companies must run at a profit to survive but they must also work towards and for the mission they serve and the reason they were formed. The Twitter Files have shown that they were failing at this mission (especially the 'without barriers' part), either because they lost focus or were corrupted, or both.

The base serialization is stable and compatible across Python versions. However pickle files can serialize entire Python objects, including from custom and third party code. Compatibility of serialization then depends on the versions of the code that implements those objects, which is often not well managed.

i just asked Chat GPT to write a python program that does rot13 decoding and it was flawless.

then i asked it to do the same thing without the codecs library

and it was also flawless.

what that reminds me of is if you asked a human to decode rot13 theyd probably get bored and make a mistake. but they could write a program to do it well.

then.

i asked if it can run python programs.

"Yes, I am a large language model trained by OpenAI, and I have the ability to understand and generate natural language, including the ability to understand and execute simple programming commands. However, I do not have the ability to execute programs or access external resources like a typical computer or device, so I am unable to run complete Python programs or interact with the external world. I can only provide explanations and examples of how a program might work, based on my training and knowledge"

so.

what we need is to give ChatGPT access to a shell on a linux box and the ability to run python.

then just ask it "please write a python program to rot13 decode this text and then run the program and show me the results. "
Pentagon picked four tech companies to form $9B cloud computing network
HN is also filled with more entrepreneurial guys, so viewing this purely as a financial transaction makes sense from that point of view. HN is the sidecar to a venture capital accelator, not a tech company like, say, JetBrains.

I think people (and tech people especially, but also many entrepreneurs) like to misuse "rationality vs emotion" as a false dichotomy because it allows framing yourself as "rational" and therefore "correct" and the other side as "emotional" and therefore "flawed". In reality no human being is truly rational and by contrasting ourselves with "emotional" people we just end up mistaking callousness or cynicism for rationality.

Yes, it's unreasonable to expect a corporation to consider "emotional" factors and the author acknowledges this when talking about Microsoft, but when talking about early Mojang that's not Mojang, that's Notch personally. Arguably there may have been different understandings of the relationship but it's perfectly reasonable (or "rational"?) to expect human-to-human interactions to follow different rules than business-to-business ones involving a corporation.

Everyone involved in making Minecraft happen contributed to its success, not just the core team and him as an external one-off contributor but literally even the office cleaning staff and the retail workers of the shops those people frequented and so on. It's practically fractal in that if you pick any arbitrarily distant point and consider how things would have worked out if you cut off and isolate everything on either side of it, Minecraft couldn't have happened or at least not as successfully as it did.

But this complexity is too overwhelming when you need to put a dollar amount to every contribution so it's natural to make the cut-off happen much closer and a natural fault line is employees vs external contributors or continuous contributors vs one-time contributors. But that isn't rationality. That's just the limitations of the economic system based around the exchange and control of money as capital.

While researching EU alternatives to Stripe I ran into a payment processor that advertised itself as being a great fit for recurring subscriptions with plenty of payment options and good rates but the website looked like it was designed a decade ago. After googling the company I realized it's primarily used in the adult industry. Nothing against them but not the kind of associations most companies want when people google the name on their credit card charges to figure out what they are.

The problem with building a platform that distinguishes itself by not having specific rules is that it attracts primarily people looking to do things that would break those rules and that this creates an environment that can drive away anyone else. This is as true for business services as for anything else.
So what I said is true. "Up to" does not say anything about the typical amount.

Your fact check article is also only partially relevant as it addresses the sensationalist claim that these fines apply to killing a wasp but the conversation was about a wasps nest.

The article also states that these maximum fines exist but that even the very low fines that have been handed out only happen very rarely. In other words: the laws exist but they're applied so rarely as to be effectively meaningless (which is true not just for wasps but for animal cruelty in general). That doesn't disagree with what I said though.

I’ve lived across America (which is very different from Monaco I’m sure) and no one has ever asked me about what the grocery stores are like, nor has it come up. I don’t think it’d even be something I’d think about when moving unless it’s VERY different.

Discussing housing, citizenship, government, all seems quite relevant to living. The “vibe” and what to expect as the culture seems quite relevant.
