> The biggest difference is that every post on Satellite is digitally signed

that's not a very compelling difference for most people. Definitely not enough to get other people to sign up and follow you on it.

I've followed hundreds of people with no form of validation and I just don't care. It's good to know that the account claiming to be the president is actually the president's account (and other similar political or popular figures) but for the other 99% i really don't have to worry that it's someone else pretending to be them.

And then there's the fact that signing only proves that it's the same account holder posting not that they're who they claim to be.

The snapshot to IPFS is ... meh. Most people don't care about what they said on a microblog a year ago, and very few have a clue what IPFS is, or how they'd do anything with an IPFS backup.

The problem with a mastodon instance shutting down is only slightly about the lost data. It's much more about the lost account and connection to your followers and the people you follow.

Nothing you've said sounds bad. They're nifty things, but they're also not compelling enough to overcome the network effect on other networks and they're not features I can actively use that offer me something notable i can't get elsewhere.
"Where did you get this from?"

To be honest?

Not from deep research, but just from the known fact, that radiation increases cancer risk and that at Fukoshima was lots of radiation released.

"One of the nice things about nuclear is that you can literally Google radiation maps from various time period"

And there are different types of radiation. Some not so bad as background, or standing next to it, but very dangerous when eaten. I do not know when going in the forest and I do not want to walk around with a geiger counter. They still do not disclose how much wild boar meat has to be thrown away regulary in germany because of chernobyl.

And if the data in Japan does not show an increase, well then it is either all good (because most was washed into the sea) - or maybe not correct data. I don't know about the japanese government, but here in the east block after chernobyl, there was never a official problem in the first place. And the japanese government hopefully is better than the stalinists were, but bending the truth to save face, is a known motive there as well.

And the thing is, like I said, I am not anti nuclear. But solar panels and wind turbines simply do not have this problem ever.
To anyone thinking "maybe don't post this! You might get flagged by the AI censors / state governments"...I rest my case.

Hi HN Community!

I am Devang, creator of NitroHire. It's still rough at the edges, yet I am very excited to share this on Show HN!

Many of us have been through the experience of either sitting through interviews or taking interviews, and very quickly the interview process becomes a really big chore of asking the same canned questions, and hearing or giving the same canned responses most of the times.

Having sat through taking hundreds of interviews in the past decade or so, every now and then I would ask that there is got to be a better way to do this. I was bored to death taking skills tests, or asking DS-Algo, product, design questions, and trying to glean insights and read between the lines. And I could see with the candidates also having interviewing multiple places at the same time that they were equally jaded yet had to feign a lot of interest and enthusiasm.

So I thought there should be a better way to tackle this, and one of the thoughts was to get first hand information about these aspects of a candidate from people who already know the candidates, rather than to try to intuit about the candidates. This is how the draft of NitroHire started, to help get this information to a hiring manager fast, so that the subsequent interviews can be shorter, more interesting and fun because of the additional context.

The first version of NitroHire supports getting reference check very quickly with predefined questions templates for almost all roles in product and development teams (build your own questionnaire from templates feature coming soon), takes less than a minute for hiring managers and candidates, and gives a very detailed and info rich report to the hiring manager.

I would love for you to try our NitroHire and also learn from your experiences and feedback on how we can make interviews suck less and make hiring decisions faster!
Much to costly to do that. And mostly unnecessary.

If you are willing to spend that much money, just built a huge water tank above the plant, problem solved.

Or even smarter, design a passive save nuclear plant with that money.

We definitely share the same opinion in regards to treating medical data like hazardous waste. Right now our solution is entirely pass-through, but down the road if we're storing data, we won't be just relying on the fact we're HIPAA & SOC 2 compliant, but instead we'll be approaching safe storage as a life-or-death priority. This is why we believe open-source has a huge advantage - by allowing our code to be audited by the world. What we're doing with the data will ultimately be visible for the world to see. We also won't be selling to someone less scrupulous, as we're the ones trying to set the standard in the space.

After years (a decade+?) of holding out on password managers I finally gave bitwarden a shot (based on recommendations here), and was able to import ~900 logins from google chrome.

Their UI in the chrome extension (brave browser actually) for changing/editing logins could use a little work, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. I even bit the bullet and now have passwords I don't actually know involved in everyday life. Irritatingly, uploading a video from GeForce's live capture to youtube - despite logging in with 2fa - caused a security freakout at google and now I was forced to change my gmail password.

But I digress, bitwarden even integrates with iOS's login management as another option to Apple's, though irritatingly not on OS X.

I was and am continuing to be a LastPass user. I’ll probably start looking into migrating but not with any great hurry because I never trusted any password manager that much to begin with - never stored my primary account passwords or financial account passwords with them for this reason. Password fatigue is real but not all passwords are the same so why treat them as such?
I never claimed that rich and poor were equal under the justice system, just that the court seems to consider the loan (edit: bond) to be secured. It sounded like there was more on the line than just the house, didn't it?

If you haven't noticed, bigcode has also released "The Stack", a 3TB (!) dataset of code (https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack). Also, they have a special policy where "The Stack" only contains permissively-licensed code, and anyone can see if their data is included and opt-out.

It's true they haven't actually trained a model on the stack, and this is...not copilot. But I like what they're doing and I think it should be appreciated. Honestly, I may even say they're doing with code what stability.ai is doing with images.

Back when I was first attending university, I attended this national entrepreneurship convention with fellow peers from my university's local chapter. There was a social night where they rented out an entire bar and we were all socializing. I was with a female friend from my university, who was pretty and obviously a magnet for all sorts of men. She asked me if I could get her some water, so I did. I brought a bottle of water to her, from which she sipped. Some obnoxious dude comes up to us, wanting to know her. She's a magnet. He discovers that I gave her the water, and he looks at me incredulously, loudly saying, "You got her WATER? WATER???"

Not being a heavy drinker back then, plus being your standard computer nerd, I was of course uncomfortable. I felt shame, but I couldn't figure out why it was justified. I also felt resentment because I had done nothing wrong. Years later, I've discovered the shame was never justified, the guy was just a douche (for whatever reason), and I was quite happy my whole life without ever getting piss drunk. I did get buzzed at least three times in my life, so I don't know what it would take to make me really drunk. Guess I'll never know though, because I quit drinking after meeting my wife because she doesn't like to drink. But I'm fine with it.

I do wonder if society would be more civil if there was no pressure to drink. I don't think non-drinkers should judge people who drink, and drinkers certainly should not judge people who don't drink. But it is an awkward truth that alcohol is often associated with misbehaviour or worse, and I'm not sure how society deals with that and also avoids going down the path of the US prohibition era and the backlash that is Al Capone. I've lost faith in society's ability to engage in nuance and not be judgmental. Bleh.

1991 MIT won a supreme court case that allowed them to raise tuition as much as they wanted as long as they gave out cost breaks to students that would not be able to pay that much, this qualified MIT to be taxed as a charity and pay nothing in taxes. Other schools followed and jacked up tuition. They still are. It is all a grift. Even in the 90's the freshman class at MIT paid more than enough to fund all the teaching needs of all the other classes along with their own. Realistically, if student loan forgiveness happens, it needs to be pulled from the college endowments that the tuition stuffed into.
> most of the discussion about passwords completely miss the point. [...] any password under around 50 characters is as good as "dog"

I think you've completely missed the point.

After how long do you start to get annoyed when logging in? Most people probably at 2-5 seconds, but let's say ten full seconds of waiting for the computer to do the hashing. A word like dog is among the top few thousand words, let's say ten thousand, so after 10k×10s/(3600 seconds per hour) = ~28 hours your password is cracked on a single cpu. Probably more like 28 minutes on a couple GPUs, and this is using a complexity setting that literally nobody is going to use (I bet even the NSA isn't paranoid enough to wait 10 seconds for every login). Now compare that to "any other password under around 50 characters".

If you want to use a passphrase, pick random words (at least five when using complex words; the number depends on your dictionary size). Not a single word that is also very common. That completely misses the point.

This strategy would work if literally everyone uses a random words generator and yours, against all odds, comes up with a single common word. Then attackers would have no reason to crack in order of commonness and start with a single word. But that is not the reality we live in and attackers do start with simple passwords before complex ones. (Source: one of the things we do at work is crack passwords, most commonly when we get our hands on Windows password hashes.)

For me, I definitely felt the full range of physical effects but I also didn't really enjoy it all that much. I drank an unhealthy amount in my early 20s due to social situations. It was kinda fun, then I'd just had enough. I never "quit" and still drink occasionally but I have absolutely no compulsion to drink and it doesn't do much for my mood.
iirc this is the thinking behind Netflix's "chaos engineers" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_engineering
> Because nuclear is enormously expensive and has always been subsidized by taxes or ratepayers.

Pretty much all modern electricity has been subsidized massively.

As for nuclear being expensive. France built its initial fleet in 15 years, the debt of those programs was commercially financed and was paid of over the next 30-50 years. During that time virtually all French people also paid a very low amount of avg cost for their electricity.

Modern coal can actually use modern turbines and those would certainty not be un-competitive with free fuel.

Modern nuclear can do the same.

And PWR nuclear over long term, as it can exist for 60-100 years actually delivers stable energy, if that was currently priced in to current market, it would actually make sense.

If you had to rebuild a huge grid today, from 0 to say 1000TWh. Nuclear is the nobrainer solution still, even with PWR.

SantaCoder's impressive but that's probably misleading. It's reported that incoder doesn't generate as diverse a set of solutions but does do better at the ones it generates. This means it performs well at a lower number of tries when compared to other similar models, which is what matters in practice. The numbers reported here required many trials.

With a fuller context and just a handful of tries, it's unlikely that 6.7B version of incoder will be outperformed by SantaCoder.
I think plenty of people work hard to hit retirement money, and then make mid-life career switches to jobs with better work-life balance. My wife and I were having lots of trouble starting a family and were preparing to basically retire early. The problem is, it's difficult to fit in socially if you're retired early. I was about to start working in earnest on a career pivot to consulting/gig work that I could do for a few months out of the year and travel with my wife the rest of the year. The main aim of the flexible work was to remain employable and able to ramp back up if something went terribly wrong with our retirement investments and/or our living costs.

Luckily, our 4th pregnancy worked out (unlike the previous 3). Now, we're working to maximize opportunities for our son, but we were preparing to make serious career changes to trade the majority of our income for much more flexibility. Now, the plan is to keep working until our son is through college, but he's less than 2 years old, so there's plenty of time for plans to change.

Had we lost our son, the plan was to live out a 3-4 star lifestyle, traveling the world and working just enough to keep the option open for ramping work back up in an emergency.

So, it's a sample size of one, but I think the type of people who live well enough below their means to retire early also tend to be the the type of people who dial their careers back to idle for a "soft retirement" instead of quitting work cold-turkey.
Beyond certification, licensed engineers are able to be held personally liable for negligence. Perhaps in a jurisdiction that only allows licensed engineers to call themselves engineers, you sound like someone who doesn't want the burden of the title, either.
> A short password is easy to bruteforce. But, a website should aim at password strength, not at password length.

Is there a standard metric for “strength” though? I built my own random password generator and considered adding a strength meter but all of the functions I could find online seemed like they had pretty arbitrary logic. Length is probably the most objective proxy for strength.
The article finishes with:

At the end of the day, your life happiness will not be dominated by your career. Either talk to older people or trust the social scientists who have: family, faith, hobbies, etc etc generally swamp career achievements and money in terms of things which actually produce happiness. Optimize appropriately. Your career is important, and right now it might seem like the most important thing in your life, but odds are that is not what you’ll believe forever. Work to live, don’t live to work.

I paraphrase the article as: (1) these are the real rules, (2) you must know and internalise these rules because playing the game is compulsory if you “choose” to work, (3) you must not fall for fairytales.

> playing the career game

The audience for this article is engineering graduates starting a career, not artists searching for meaning. “Programmer” is right there in the title. Whether you want to play the career game or not, it is one of the few games most of us will play, unfortunately. Totally agree that the game has its compromises.

org-mode has some spaced repetitions tools (e.g., org-drill). I personally don't recommend SR by flashcards too much. It's better to do it more naturally. For example, read books regularly to learn a language; common words will repeat themselves enough times that they'll effectively be a form of SR.
