From what I remember the main problem is code requirements around being able to go from 'isolated' back to being connected to the grid.

If you are out of phase when the grid gets back, it gets damaging. So it is difficult to get an approved system that can do it.
> Regulation by whom?

Every single government.

If you have a business that interfaces with crypto and the citizens of any country, then you have obligations to comply with each jurisdiction's rules.

Crypto has been shown time and time again to have rough edges. I would expect every government to eventually evolve protective legislation, mostly to safeguard the non-institutional class from being taken advantage of.
Cycling is becoming politicized in the UK and some politicians are trying to score points. The other day an ex-transport minister suggested forcing registration plates on bicycles. Any cycle lane that pops up will trigger all the right-winger NIMBYs making them go full ape mode. Some cars are becoming super aggressive (most are actually cautious or unaware). Its a sad state of affairs.

I agree with the general sentiment. I have heard more doom and gloom about the end of the software industry in the last week than I think I ever have in my career. But the question that keeps popping into my head is, "What would the process of laying off all the devs and replacing them with ChatGPT even look like?".

And the truth is, I don't see any way it could work. Too many questions. Would product owners interface with the language model directly? Would they trust it to do devops? to debug? What would happen if the behavior of the system wasn't quite what they wanted? What if they ran into situations that required very in depth analysis of performance via logging? Would/Could a large language model orchestrate all of this?

At the end of the day, what devs are paid for is their knowledge of a complex system. That is always going to be needed.
For those of you unfamiliar with layoff practices in most other industries, this is as good as it gets. The terms enumerated in the note are generous. Also, the value of the job placement support should not be underestimated.
Can you elaborate on this? I think I'm missing some context.

> ("raw byte checksum" is vague enough be a image hash or merely a CRC-32; I strongly suspect it's the former)

1) The image fingerprinting they were talking about before is really different from a "raw byte checksum", since it could recognize photos that had been resized or cropped.

2) AFAIK the plan was always to generate the fingerprint on the device, but to check it server-side, possibly as a pre-flight check before sending the actual file. The thing that upset people was the device generating a too-good fingerprint [EDIT: To be fair, people were also concerned Apple would expand the fingerprint-generating-and-uploading to photos that weren't bound for iCloud—the concern would have been pretty silly otherwise, since of course unencrypted photos sent to iCloud are CSAM-scanned, same as everywhere else). Pretty sure they were gonna keep the naughty-list server-side all along. So, if this is the same thing (I doubt it, see #1) then checking the fingerprints(/hashes) server-side isn't a change in plans.

It is similar how planes starts. First small turbine engine (APU) starts. When APU fails to start, they use specialized airport cars with compressed air. Then the turbine helps to start first main engine. Then the main engine helps to start second main engine. Repeat until all main engines are started.

Some laws are stupid. Believing that hair is a destabilizing force on society and should be punished to the point of disallowing you from interacting with society is generally considered stupid by modern people. Many people don't think harming your wallet for attempting to block commerce is stupid. Much of the point of modern law is to keep modern commerce going, so of course if you try and block that, you will see government push back. Just look at all the push back rail workers got from the government for daring to use their importance to ask for a better deal.

I've lived in SF since 1972 and have pretty much always known about Asian smog. And while it's rarely talked about, 29% of San Francisco's pollution comes from Asia [1]. I don't know about ships, but I assume they contribute significantly as well. I did notice a massive increase in smog during the height of the pandemic from all the ships anchored in the bay, so there is that.

I think you could open an account in Revolut (Lithuania) fairly easily before the Russo-Ukrainian war (the 2022 escalation specifically). You can still sign up with them, but you need at least a work visa in the EU. Shameless plug: https://revolut.com/referral/aleksamc7!DEC1-22-VR-EE

You still can open account in Wise (UK / Belgium and other countries), though not from Iran I think (thanks to sanctions). It's not a bank but is an EMI and is regulated stricter than a bank.

Ask HN: State of Automatic Text Summarization
I'm always complaining about too-long articles that don't include something like an N bullet point summary, but it occurred to me maybe some of the new A.I. powered text models could do this semi decently.

Does anybody know of any automatic text summarization tool that works pretty well? I found this list [0] but I tried all the tools listed and none worked for me. I was trying to summarize the article from this submission [1].

Other things I tried:

* https://wordtune.com/ : Can summarize overall, and per paragraph. Pretty cool!

* https://quillbot.com/ : Even though it has a chrome extension, I had to copy-paste the text (doesn't take URLs).

Neither one of your assertions is true.

First of all it was answered by gorbypark, but I also answered it many times. You don't seem to keen on answering questions though.

To make it real clear: You go to a website, put something in your cart. Enter your home address as shipping address. Add payment and complete the order.

Now the package might end up at a gas station, or it might be home-delivery. And there is no way to know that before you get your tracking information, at which point you can't even cancel the order without receiving it first.

It's because the "lanes" that non-tech juggernauts break out of are typically pretty restricted, much in advance (aside from "Emergency Use Authorization" etc). Maybe it was "paranoia" (thinking of conditional incentives ahead of time), or people had to suffer enough before these to come into existence.

What's the equivalent of the FDA but for consumer privacy?
Note that this can equivalently[0] (and more readably) be written as `(a/2) + (b/2) + (a&b&1)`.

0: Assuming your language rounds integer division and modulo correctly, ie that `i%array_len` is reliably a valid array index. C has problems here when i (respectively: a or b) is signed, but that doesn't matter in the sensible case, where you always index everything with size_t.

I feel for all the engineers impacted by this layoff, but I do not agree that they are "the best CI/CD platform on the market".

Our small team has moved away from CircleCI for all new projects. We are mostly using Github Actions these days. The major driver was not cost, which was minimal for our team, but the fact that CircleCI keeps breaking our build. In the ~5 years that we have used them, we have experienced at least 3 major breakages, including the migration from v1 to v2 yaml configs and the new docker architecture.

They have strayed far from their early value prop and cause us more headaches than delight. CircleCI, if you are listening, all I want with CI/CD is to forget about it, not have to revisit a working project every year to rearchitect it onto a new builder.
> Microsoft was terrified of the Internet and applications that could "run anywhere" so they tried to control how people accessed the Internet

I see reflections of this throughout the history of the iPhone. Apple has always controlled how people access both the internet and even what applications they can install. Every "browser" on iOS is just Safari with a skin for example, because Apple will not allow any other browser engine.
Yes, and it was likely directly related to subsequently offering E2EE backups. Not "two different teams with two different visions".
my bad folks - try now. It should work.
They took much more on with IPv6 than IPv4 replacement. The spec goes much deeper than IPv4 did, replacing ARP, DHCP, etc. It's a product of its time, including a lot of over-engineering by committee. Many of the problems they tried to address didn't pan out to be real issues. You can read the RFCs and compare.

IPv4 w/ more bits is a lot more simple. Yes, older network gear wouldn't deal with it well, but that's not a real issue today because that same network gear supports IPv6.

Buuut, one of the biggest problems with app-level issues is just that the app doesn't bother dealing with IPv6 addresses and AAAA records. It would be the same issue with an imaginary IPv4*2.
It does seem like CI/CD turned out to be less of a product and more of a feature.
Was also wondering about this. Perhaps they will push a wipe or a clean reinstall..

I am sick to the back teeth of the wealthy parts of the media (Noema is hiring an editor at $110-160k for 5 years experience, which is pretty generous) pumping out content while short-changing their readers. Daily news outlets are constantly writing stories about court cases without ever citing the names of the cases, and gatekeeping their access to public documents for an easy buck. While I greatly enjoyed this article, I'm also mystified by the decision of the author or the editors to withhold germane information that would profit the reader.
I think it's the format of the numbers that's not user-friendly enough. They can be too long to remember and my first thought is that there should be a clever algorithm to use "catchy names" or words and then map them to the numeric values. Could even down-sample the names/words that need remembering and then up-sample them to the full numeric range behind the scenes to help add a larger range of values.
There are large swaths at work that are IPv6 only. There is a proxy to work with things like Github that don't do it.

Ideally, every OS and device should be able to do IPv[46] only and dual-stack.

IoT stuff has the most problems where they're 2.4 GHz and IPv4 only.
> The inescapable fact about Tor is that its traffic patterns make you stand out prominently.

I'm curious as to how it stands out. I can imagine a few things, like an ISP seeing traffic to known TOR intermediary nodes, or maybe analyzing packets to look for some sort of handshake?

Sort of. But what would looking do? What does looking mean? The traffic is encrypted, they can look all they like. In the US they'll need more than "they connected to TOR" to get a warrant to search your device.
I don’t don’t do this kind of questioning. I find it useful to give an open question like:

Design a website with a user login, a password reset feature.
And then go on from there.

E.g. talk about how to build your infrastructure. How to protect against CSRF. What is your stance in tokens in the front end. What about sessions. How to do force logout. Which database, why? When to use caching. How would you store Information about a password in a database in a safe manner. Salting hashing.

Synchronous vs asynchronous api. Idempotency. Different database transaction mechanism.
How to do monitoring. Why is cardinality important for prometheus. How to do api first design.

This gives the candidate time to shine and I can at least understand where they are. And you can dig deeper.

Looking for watchOS developer to bring Fitbit app to Apple Watch
I know software engineers are in very high demand so I’m not gonna waste your time. I’ve been working on and researching Lucid Dreaming for 3 years. I consider the Fitbit app an MVP and proof of concept. Fitbit has some hardware and OS limitations and I want to bring it to Apple.

I have an advisor who’s been researching lucid dreaming for years and has 10 published studies on the topic.

I really think we can build a product that can help millions achieving 1-2 lucid dreams a week, consistently, and make a good amount of change in the meantime.

Im not gonna tell you this is the next Facebook but I do believe it can generate some valuable passive income.

Now, if I’m honest I do think there is further opportunities for growth and potentially develop into something more.

Lucid Dreaming can be applied for performance enhancement, trauma resolution and plain entertainment.

So there is an opportunity to target the “psychedelics for mental health” market and tangentially the the Virtual reality market (ok that might be a bit much)
