Apparently the trick was to mis-scan a couple of items as lower cost items. Eg. Meat as brown onions.

That way it looks like a legitimate shopping experience to anyone watching (enter, choose items, go to checkout to pay, leave)

Thats why lots of self checkouts now have cameras to scan the item (checking its roughly the expected color and shape) and to film the customer.
It’s an uphill battle and one that I personally don’t think it’s worth fighting. If you’re running a service on a public address, there are going to be access attempts whether you like it or not regardless of them being legitimate or not. It’s just the nature of the wider internet. I have just learned to live with it, it will never stop.

You’ll end up moving around the point where probes happen if you have a bastion, if you use tail scale, if you run fail2ban, move the service to another port, implement knocking or any other overused suggestion.

The only real solution is either keeping your sshd up-to-date to minimize the risk of zerodays, moving it to a private address (and by virtue of still needing to get to it, exposing yet another service), filtering everything but a handful of addresses or just not using it.

How much time do you want to sink into this, what’s your threat model, is that used bandwidth actually worth anything are the big questions I’d ask right away to inform an answer.
>"I interviewed at THREE COMPANIES and got ZERO JOBS!!"

I think that sense is one thing that's bugging some people. Though you also get the vibe on here from some often enough that (at least until recently) if you walk off the job Friday and don't have four offers in hand in a week or two, there's something wrong with you.

Personally I could have done without naming people and companies. It's not like it's confidential in general but it doesn't really add anything and, personally, I wouldn't have done it.
I believe you usually want as much control of memory management as possible as it can be a great place for finding performance improvements and also help in delivering very consistent performance.
Automatic memory management is a great aid in reduction of the complexity you have to deal with, but you presumably want to deal with that completely in the context of a database.

It would be weird if they don't have snap-to-shape since notes has it. Are you pausing long enough for the snap to happen? Edit: just played with it. there is a lot missing that I would have expected- for example no ruler or fountain pen or a way to customize the toolbar. Really strange for apple to have stepped back from notes
I would try not to worry too much though.

It becomes a sickness at some point. Check out Scott Adam’s law of slow moving disasters if you want some optimism.
I’ve been hiring programmers for three decades.

What is obvious to me is that we play a game where there is a posted set of rules such as “Don’t talk shit about the companies that interview you and definitely don’t reveal what they told you in an interview.” We punish people for breaking these rules.

But also, insiders break these rules all the time, quietly, either in “whisper networks,” or on web sites launched by startups that give people a way to post what questions companies ask when hiring, what biases various interviewers have, and so forth.

What we’re punishing this person for when talking about their “oversharing” is not being enough of an insider to know the right way to play the hidden game.

> JVM can only run apps written for it: Docker & WASM don't have that limitation.

Of course it does; WASM is just a format, still need to create the right functions that the runtime will call to do the useful stiff
I'm not a security expert, but from my understanding your (fantastic) minimal use is still compromised and you are giving plenty of data to both google and govs.

Quite disappointing someone would enable that kernel option without fully considering the ramifications :/.

Do some distributions use systemd-coredump by default? I not just learned about systemd-coredump and I'm wondering if it could be actually useful for develoment purposes; apport doesn't seem to be.
Surprisingly enough, notes does have snap to shape the feature, really weird decision to NOT have it in Freeform unfortunately
I think this is normally due to bad requirements or bad architecture.

If a legitimate feature is complex there's very little you can do. Apart from push back on the implementation specifics.

Quite often, code is too complicated due to it needing to interact with other problematic code.

So you could spend many times longer fixing all the underlying complexity and hopefully make it better.

Or just accept that it's not perfect, which while regrettably is the pragmatic choice (Until things get so bad it isn't)
Or more difficult than he thought. The whole thing was very reminiscent of when a random HN poster says "I could implement Facebook in a week" or similar.
Have you ever seen what happens when a non-corporate-backed (i.e. independent) candidate steps up for election?

They are almost always out-spent and out-campaigned from all sides because both bought parties want to maintain the two-party system at all costs.

There are exceptions of course, but not meaningfully.

Blame Citizens United for all this. That decision marked the day the US completely stopped being a "by the people, for the people" country.

To make it with davinci-003 you can store all the conversation history and prefix it to your prompt as you mentioned.

>there is no financial risk, check out Wells Fargo stock price.

A Wells Fargo stock holder would have lost out on ~70% of returns over the last 5 years compared to a relatively riskless investment in sp500.

This enhances collaboration to the standard of the Apple ecosystem. Many people want to avoid "the Android/Windows/shitty third party app experience".
As a part of our interview series we had a chat with Kristen Marumoto about community building and heard her experience of growing from scratch. Read the detailed interview to learn more.

"The single thing I wish I did differently was to start sooner, build faster, and spread the word better. We can all suffer from imposter syndrome, and I think that played a part in terms of my making the decision of wanting to move forward with actually diving in and just starting our business. I wish I would have just gone for it sooner, waiting for ‘the right time’ doesn’t exist in this case, and I feel if I started sooner it would mean we’d have helped more founders to date."
> For example, making sure build works accross different platforms and machines

Unfortunately Docker only works on Linux, since it's tied to specific syscalls. Those on other platforms (e.g. macOS) can only run it in a VM (e.g. the Docker Desktop application is built on top of a VM running Linux)

> here are too many ways that something may break, incorrect SDK versions, missing dependencies etc.

AFAIK Docker doesn't actually address that. It provides a "Dockerfile", which is essentially just a shell script; users still have to manage dependencies themselves, e.g. by having their Dockerfile invoke an actual package manager.

> Docker makes sure the OS (container) to be setup correctly to handle the build.

Containers aren't operating systems; they only need the desired executable, plus its run-time dependencies (e.g. libc).

I was hoping that the new gatekeeper laws in the EU would go this far, but they don't. I'm still very happy about them, but I really was hoping they would force Apple to give customers the ability to unlock the bootloader of iOS devices.
No it isn't because it lacks the polyglot infrastructure from CUDA, it has now SPIR-V but hardly anyone targets it as PTX gets used.
That’s definitely a problem I’ve heard people Ask HN about before. It is one of those problems that vendors like to call out. My first hunch is that the problem of implementing it in general is harder than coding up a specific policy, but if the general solution is done right it should come out ahead.
Wow! Talk about a love letter at the end of 2022! The dev has identified a gap and applies time and effort to solve it through building it.

Halfway, the dev complains about the orignal devs using XML, because it is not efficient "Hey, I'm not complaining, it makes my job easier."

Well sounds like the original developers of Flash made a good decision. If it makes it easier to parse the content at a later stage, I'm willing to call it a win!
It’s pretty safe being stored near nuclear power plants. The folks keeping it from being buried in a mountain are folks opposed to nuclear energy… ironically due to (overblown) waste concerns. They don’t WANT the waste problem to be solved.
This feels like Apple decided iPad needed a “killer app” and worked backwards from there to actually make the app. Notice the iPad is in the center of the picture at the top of the announcement, and Apple Pencil (iPad accessory) is called out as working especially well with this.

My personal opinion is this is unlikely to work and that the reason iPad lacks a “killer app” is largely because the app ecosystem is too dysfunctional for one to emerge organically from third party ecosystems. Because the iPad is a more powerful platform than iPhone, and (especially) because people’s “session times” tend to be longer on iPad vs iPhone, you need to invest more to make a good iPad app. On the iPhone it’s enough to save people a little time vs the web and connect them more readily to a service while mobile (Uber, Instagram, Amazon, etc)

iPad offers the chance to do something much deeper. But there is so much more risk — will people pay higher prices (App Store price expectations are lower than desktop), will Apple approve the app, will it get noticed in the store amid all the crap. Are the APIs powerful enough to make what you want to make. Etc.
Flash was conceptually fantastic, and today we can do everything Flash did, and more, with HTML, and WebGL. Unfortunately we don't have the authoring tool to do so. Flash IDE became Adobe Animate, but it has relatively restricted output and capabilities, compared to Flash before.

Unfortunately also Flash was full of bugs, FULL. I mean the player, the IDE, everything. And Macromedia and consequently Adobe were increasingly desperate in monetizing the player by attaching downloads to it, like Adobe Reader or anti-virus software. Or adding nonsense features like half-baked 3D gaming to it.

Well, I know about BSD jails and Solaris (later Illumos, etc) zones. How easy were they to deploy to an average cloud? How easy was it to reproducibly build and distribute them?

No, it doesn't seem to matter for what makes CUDA relevant anyway.
In a typical consumer home, there are very few, if any, uses where fluoropolymers are indispensable.

On the other hand, for most kinds of chemical manufacturing and of chemical analyses fluoropolymers are truly indispensable.

Before the invention of the fluoropolymers, some of the chemical reactions that are done now in vessels made of fluoropolymers could not be done at all, while the others were done in platinum vessels. Even the platinum was slowly dissolved, so the cost of the equipment was huge and such chemical reactions could not be used in mass manufacturing.

Even the simplest transistor or integrated circuit cannot be made without fluoropolymers. Without them there cannot be any semiconductor industry.

Besides the containment of corrosive substances, other applications for which there are no good alternatives to fluoropolymers are in vacuum equipment (also indispensable for the semiconductor industry) and in insulators with low dielectric constant and with low losses at high frequencies.

None of the industrial uses of fluoropolymers can cause significant pollution. However using them in things like kitchenware, or worse, in packaging, makes no sense.
Fear? What about lack of knowledge or experience? IE Maybe they only know how to use a hammer to screw in screws?

The exploit is quite interesting. Initially I didn't believe there could be a problem -- after all, we have the source of "su" so who cares if we can see a coredump from it? However the exploit is that "su" reads normally hidden files like /etc/shadow into memory (or more likely PAM does) thus exposing the contents of these files like password hashes to the non-root user.

I wonder if it would be generally better for su/PAM to mark this data as non-dumpable (MADV_DONTDUMP), just for defence in depth. You could also imagine coredumps being uploaded in bug reports, unintentionally revealing sensitive data.

> present static knowledge

It's not that ChatGPT is knowledgable, it's that it's presenting knowledge.

It's mathematically choosing an order of words to present knowledge we've encoded it with/trained it on.

The choice of the words itself isn't really knowledge (depending on how you define knowledge).

I would think the "half-truths" refer to the difference between the content in the twitter files vs taibbi's and weiss's reporting of it. The FBI emailed twitter safety to report violations of twitter's own terms of service. It's not clear twitter actually did anything with those reports. But to read taibbi and weiss, it was as if the FBI threatened twitter to ban nypost because of the hunter biden laptop article, which never happened.

I was expecting "Attempt 3" to involve Bluemaxima's Flashpoint, and was surprised not to see it mentioned. Does anyone know why that wouldn't have been an option, or is this essentially what Attempt 1 would have involved?

For anyone not familiar with Flashpoint, it's a project to preserve old flash games and animations and keep them playable on modern platforms. It's open source and includes a huge library (including it looks like Hapland 1-3).

https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/

Edit: Reading a bit further down the article, it looks like they were able to make some big improvements by building their own engine like supporting wide screen and higher FPS so that sort of answers my question!
Because they are not keeping your money/stocks/tokens/whatever like they promised and should. Like all real brokers do. A bank run can not happen for a broker.

It is like Vanguard sending your money to their hypothetical Chinese subsidiary because that is where they think the market is most efficient. Then when the Chinese government seizes that company's accounts, you are shit out of luck because your money is not where it is supposed to be, and the US entity is bankrupt.

I'm sorry I guess. You responded to only my first statement by just saying that, in fact, Russia bad and USA good. I don't really know what to say to that, its not adding anything, or speaking to my very small and abstract reflections about incentive, justification, and culture.

I'm sure many/most people would be happy to talk to you about how some countries are worse than others, why even choose to respond to me, where such things aren't adding anything?
I've never understood why this ideology is deemed acceptable in polite conversation. If you quoted Hitler in glowing terms, you'd be rightly banished from society. But the much worse Lenin (& friends) is a-ok.
You mention that while using Flash you found it missing basic features, could you give some examples?

One of my long-term projects is to build a Flash clone (Flash-the-authoring-tool). So I'd love to hear from people who are still using Flash, to see what features / pain points are most important.
I'd say it's autocorrect at work.

I'm really starting to believe that autocorrect is leaving society with worse written works than if we just kept the actual typos present. Most of the typos are just that whereas most of the autocorrect misfires change the meaning of words.

The fusion opportunity is enormous – it would be a shame to waste it
That is wealth, he is talking about the derivative of wealth or income. Most companies pays out way more in salaries than they pay out in profits, so more money goes to workers than to owners. Giving all profits to workers would increase their income by maybe 10-20% in most cases, modern capitalism don't exploit workers that hard.

Average workers are worse off today since more and more money is going to relatively small (in terms of employment) high value companies like hospitals, tech companies etc. So it isn't that low skill workers are giving up more and more to capitalists, it is that more and more money is going to other parts in the economy and never even going to the company the low skill worker is working for.

The game's word puzzles are not a word scramble-type challenge.

And because the letter order is preserved, we require adding at least one extra letter which means all valid answers need to be at least 4 letters long.
