something i consider to be a case to, from previous comment:

I have this suspicion that often people who thrive at "school" suck at doing things, their whole life they are getting programmed to:
a) do things for an quick and clear reward

b) always be in extremely well defined rules (when semester starts you see how people obsess over edge cases and their impact on grade with a professor)

c) always do it for pleasing someone else and get their admiration (teachers, parents, peers, etc)

d) only be motivated by fear

In a way the better you adapt to that system the more 'slave' minded you become and only do what is asked, when rewarded, given clear instructions and a threat of leashes is near. Often Top students in HS end up mediocre at college and life.

Lack of motivation plagues them all life as they have no clear guidelines, external threats, or third person providing validation.
I don't have anything figured out but I think we can do it as a society. I do think we have a very negative biased view of the ultra rich. Zuckerberg, Gates and Buffett all give or will give all of their wealth to society. So not all of them are the same. I think Musk will probably also give most back eventually though I'm not sure he has said anything yet.

And remember, we are still a democracy. We get to vote. We control the army and the police and all institutions. If we decide that this capitalism isn't hot sh* anymore we can change it. What will the evil billionaires do? (this sounds like a good straight to DVD movie actually...hey GPT write me a script about this)

Ask HN: Tips for software engineering sanity with Databricks notebooks?
Folks, what are your best tips and practices for getting some software engineering sanity into developing Databricks notebooks? In particular larger data pipelines that are orchestrated from something like Azure DataFactory.

It is driving me nuts to use auto-saved versions instead of clearly defined explicitly defined commits that can be proof-read, the lack of my favourite tools from my local environment, like vim, and troubles testing things properly.

I have already found some general hints like modularizing code etc, but I wanted to hear from people in the trenches, if you found some practices or set of practices that actually made a big difference in the development experience?
No, distribution of non-free firmware is not ok, while interacting with firmware that is already there (e.g. from ROM or EEPROM) is okay.
This yougov poll[0] seems to suggest around 20% of democrats and independents vs. 40% of Republicans believe the gates conspiracy. You also just quoted something that backs up what I said?

Look, in no way am I saying polls are perfect but almost every metric imaginable says Elon is not the most unpopular billionaire by a long shot. There’s not a huge conspiracy against Musk specifically, people just don’t like power-hungry billionaires.

Nobody cares about Bernard Arnault because he doesn’t really pose an existential threat. High fashion will continue to do the same thing they’ve always done

Setting aside questions of whether there is copyright infringement going on, I think this is an unprecedented case in the history of automation replacing human labor.

Jobs have been automated since the industrial revolution, but this usually takes the form of someone inventing a widget that makes human labor unnecessary. From a worker's perspective, the automation is coming from "the outside". What's novel with AI models is that the workers' own work is used to create the thing that replaces them. It's one thing to be automated away, it's another to have your own work used against you like this, and I'm sure it feels extra-shitty as a result.

For an unsophisticated Grandpa George, he may have intended a roughly even split based on the notional value of the paid off house being the same as the rest of the estate, while the net result would be different after paying CG.

> I worked at a mac/pc shop in the mid 90s. To kit out a mac dev was easily 25,000. I could do a similar pc dev for about 2500.

Those numbers are off by an order of magnitude unless you lived somewhere with really hefty tariffs. You were probably looking at $2-6K for a PC and $3-8k for Mac depending on what you needed — most of the times when people did price comparisons they forgot to spec out equivalent builds so you'd have, say, a Mac with a CD-ROM, ethernet, high-quality video and audio being compared to a PC with basic sound hardware, no network card, and a lower-res video card. Even a NeXT cube wasn't $25K unless you bought three of them.

Sun, SGI, etc. were higher and that was in no small part because they had the enterprise sales model where you had to call a sales person and negotiate a corporate purchase.
tl;dr But I did search for the word "Xerox" and didn't find it.

No, not that Xerox computer. The Sigma 7 timesharing computers from SDS, which they bought in 1969 and shut down in 1975. GE was running those on a contract for the Defense Department on some overseas spy bases.

If you get the idea "I want to write a blog" it seems likely you will pick one of those topics that is impossible to monetize such as an anime or programming blog.

If you get the idea that "I want to monetize a blog" you would pick a random topic and find that a randomly selected topic probably monetizes a lot better than a programming blog.
The technology at play is about handling scaling detail. You can now use very large and very detailed models so your scenes look good from close and afar. A single shot misses the point.

Ask HN: What’s your prediction of what AI assisted coding will be like?
At least since alt.religion.emacs.
These AI advances are thrilling and a bit spooky.

RPG games will include options for laws of karma or configuring an omniscient AI "god" who ingests all of your actions and develops consequences or new plots and dialogue. And of course the player can pray to the god for forgiveness, for blessings, etc.
I believe that was the concern of the Luddite movement. While they failed, we can learn from them this time.
It was $5.7B. That's an enormous gift and one that was not disclosed at the time it happened last year. The Musk Foundation now has an enormous endowment and a hazy mission.
No it isn't. The Romans were every bit as smart as we are today. The biggest difference between us and them is our tools.

Similarly, compare the computers of the 60's (or even the 80's) to the computers of today. The difference in outcomes reflects the difference in capabilities.
GNOME and KDE both work fine on Linux and FreeBSD. In addition, OpenBSD usually gets the newest GNOMEs.
Indefinitely. It's fine. The message expansion in SHA2 is totally different from that of SHA1 (hash message expansion is analogous to cipher key scheduling), and forecloses on the SHA1 attacks. JP Aumasson, part of the BLAKE team, has suggested SHA2 might never be broken; that's hyperbolic but gives a sense of how little research is on the horizon to threaten it.

The big issues with SHA2 are MD structure/length extension (which HMAC addresses, and you can also use the truncated versions; length extension matters pretty much exclusively if you're designing entire new protocols) and speed.

I'd reach for Blake2 right now instead of SHA2 (or SHA3) in a new design, but I wouldn't waste time replacing SHA2 in anything that already exists, or put a lot of effort into adding a dependency to a system that already had SHA2 just to get Blake2.
> The fundamental problem is that get developers assumed that hash algorithms would never be changed, and that was a ridiculous assumption. It's much wiser to implement crypto agility.

Cryptographic agility makes this problem worse, not better: instead of having a "flag day" (or release) where `git`'s digest choice reflects the State of the Art, agility ensures that every future version of `git` can be downgraded to a broken digest.
I think the link shows the inverse Cramer to be successful. So everything opposite to what he says wins.

Good book! I think the Driveline blog is a better source for folks working with youth athletes. The MVP Machine was a little bit more Moneyball than player development oriented . . .

Bauer. I had a bit of a meltdown about him - I was momentarily worried that his name alone would bring a huge negative reaction to people associated with Driveline training methods. That seems to have not come to pass.

I very much like the Driveline "Skills that Scale" training approach. I took several brand-new-to-softball middle schoolers into 50+ MPH bat speeds with overload/underload training and bat sensors. One great athlete hit 60+ in training in her very first year of playing the game. Course, she looks like a D1 athlete as well, so she may have gotten there just by putting a bat in her hand . . .
One recent genre is auto-battlers from Dota 2 custom game tools. To my eyes that’s been the only large genre grown from in game tools in a decade which has life beyond original game itself.

Tower defenses and AoS/Dota/ARPG/Mobas as examples of the above from 90s and early 2000s. Maybe “gliding” is a genre too from counterstrike now seen outside in games like trackmania, and probably Gary’s mod is it’s own genre too. Then only genres and modes which live within the original games since (though amazing and well done).

I really think Blizzard had an opportunity with StarCraft 2 to rewrite gaming history if it’s modding tools were up to par. Instead we got custom games less sophisticated than ones 20 years younger from it. I don’t think the modding community ever really recovered being left empty handed in that era. Maybe it’s recovered, modders were left without adequate tools for a while. Modders really did produce hundred million to billion dollar genres in the past, I’m not sure if that is still happening.

Would training with such an AI help their comprehension? Or hurt it?

My money is on "hurt".
I use Evince on Linux and PDF Expert on MacOS. They both do okay, but neither does search indexing, so searching goes irritatingly slow. Also neither support the public key encrypted PDFs that a certain SoC vendor likes to give me.
I can also confirm that shipping is calculated before the transaction is complete, so you'll know what you're paying.

I'll add that the shipping was super fast for my most recent order (next day) even though part of it came from 1/3 of the way across the US.

What makes a charity "fake"?

If I start a charity, make myself chairperson and CEO or President or whatever, I "deserve" a reasonable salary. If my fundraising events bring in my salary + event expenses + what I can use for charitable activities, what does it matter if what actually goes out the door is 5% of all donations? I have to pay staff salaries and I have to pay event hosting fees.

In other words, for most of these things the difference between an A-grade charity like the American Red Cross (which puts out something like 90% of its charitable donations to actual charitable activities and the CEO makes over $700k/yr) and a charity with a CEO who makes $200k, but that's 50% of their overall donation income, but still moves their money forward towards their stated goal, the legal difference is imperceptible. The second charity may just be small, or not good at raising funds, or has limited reach, or has a charitable focus nobody cares about, or could just be a way for some socialite to make an extra $200k a year while hosting fundraising "parties" every quarter...it's just not possible to really tell.

Even in this example, the charity looks more legitimate than what the original posting is about, and there are tens of thousands of these.

> THIS IS FALSE. Please do not ever do this. Why not? For example, by controlling any four contiguous bytes in a file, the resultant 32bit CRC can be forced to take on any value.

And SHA1 is now broken like this, with collisions and so forth. Perhaps it's not as simple as just 4 bytes, but the ability to create collisions is forcing this retirement.

If adversarial collisions are an issue, then MD5 and SHA1 are fully obsolete now. If you don't care for an adversary, might as well use the cheaper, faster CRC check.

------

CRC is now more valid use case than SHA1. That's the point of this announcement.
Ask HN: What are your thoughts on tracking time at work?
I’ve just started a new job and during the on-boarding I learning that management expects a 15min accuracy on logged time in JIRA tickets. This includes meetings so tracking 15min for stand up every morning in a big shared story is something everyone here does. I feel like I would be able to adapt to it if the interval was 1 day or similar. Having every quarter-hour be accountable to my manager seems somehow untrusting. I’ve mentioned it to a direct manager, and the reasoning is that 15min/day over the course of a year is a large cost, and tracking ops time vs product time is something they find valuable… and that makes sense to me, but I can’t seem to shake whatever red flags this is flying in my head.

Most places I’ve worked at have tracked points, which still relate to time in a way, but are large enough to account for bad estimates, by design. I feel like I’m going to flounder here in the transition to 15min increments.

Where’s the sweet spot in your opinion? Is there a way to do time tracking and/or estimates that doesn’t feel « untrusting »?
I've heard it differently, but is a corollary: bad tools make it easy for bad developers to do bad things. Good tools make it easy for bad developers to do good things.
I was (and still am) frustrated with Amazon's practice of showing me what _they_ think I want, instead of what I searched for. It violates a basic tenet of the server-client relationship, serve what the client asked for.

I was happy to discover that AliExpress didn't do these shenanigans. You search for an item, it shows matches. Wonderful — and then they changed it, so now halfway through your results, you'll see completely unrelated items.

So now it's just a garbage web filled with garbage results.

People can - do, and always have done - work around tool deficiencies.

Once you're familiar with a tool, the simple act of moving to another tool will be what slows you down, but you'll get back up to speed soon enough.

The only place tool choice really matters is when you're part of a team who has to pass their work around. If you're not using the same tool - whichever tool it may be - it adds needless friction.
It must be relatively easier though to be a discerning consumer than having the ability to produce something yourself (without using AI?)

With Jupyter you can check things into git.

You probably want to have a pre-commit script that deletes all the data and just leaves the code. Some people really hate that because they like having notebooks with results in them in the git repository to read, but if you have data mixed with your code you will have the worst time merging.

Tools like databricks lumber on with inadequate version control because people are used to everything being screwed up all the time when it comes to "data science".
Certain things lend themselves well to master-planning. TCP/IP, or where transit lines are run before the city builds up around them. But only things that really need to be master-planned do better when planned that way; much of the best "large things" seem to work out better when many of the aspects are organic and human-scale.

Presumably, just aircraft IDs would be encrypted, and not data that is safety-critical for collision avoidance? Things like callsigns (which can be changed each flight and don't necessarily have to be the aircraft's registration) and weight category could also be added, unencrypted, so that ATC screens wouldn't go dark if there was some sort of key management failure.

There is also an argument for some sort of cryptographic signing of ADS-B messages in order to prevent spoofing.
I don't think so, unless you utilize some not-yet-public vulnerability.

As far as I know, with current public SHA-1 vulnerabilities, you can create two new objects with the same hash (collision attack), but cannot create a second object that has the same hash as some already existing object (preimage attack).

I procrastinate on hard problems for months.

It works.

Many more mathematical scientists I know do exactly the same thing on occasion Mostly, in order to make progress you need to work at it a lot. Sometimes, however, you need to go away and let it churn away in the back of your mind before trying again and revisiting it with fresh eyes and new knowledge but with your old familiarity. One of the most useful pieces of advice I have ever received was 'try to procrastinate from work with work'. There's something about knowing that the solution to the problem exists (but you don't have it) that really motivates detailed study but will slowly drive you mad if you're not careful.

WebXR feels like a solid building-block to me. Adoption will be (and has been) shaky, but with Apple being forced to adopt third-party browser engines it's revival seems likely.

WASM is neat but extremely finnecky at the moment. I've seen cool stuff done with it, but I'm not convinced it's funny production ready yet.

WebGPU is sorta in the same boat as WASM, if a little more realistic of a bet. People will want hardware-accelerated browser experiences soon, and WebGPU will probably do most of the lifting there.
