The binary thinking was Fatino's preconception that in the past any young person could easily get a house 1 year out of school, while now boomers are intentionally holding houses off the market in a decentralized price fixing conspiracy.

Regarding the economy, I think that boomers generally rode a wave of global growth and benefited greatly. I dont think it is so much that the pulled up the ladder, but failed to build new rungs as the tide went out.
Is it necessarily wasted, though? If the subway is tedious and unpleasant, then sure. But if I get a seat and I get 15 more minutes reading or staring out the window, then I’m probably not calling that a complete waste.
I think the policy is fine, but since I left my former employer more than a year ago, the policy should have been lifted on my personal account automatically (assuming that my former employer deactivated the work account, which I expect that they did).
After trying and failing for various years to find the perfect system, I've since landed on the most dead-simple system possible: aggressively organizing my browser's bookmarks. As one might assume, it's a few general categories progressively broken down into more and more specific folders. For instance: tech/programming/command line/editors/neovim/plugins.

The one "magic" thing I've figured out is to put "_to check out" folders in various places. So, in the above example .../plugins/_to check out is for neovim plugins to...well, check out, but then .../editors_to check out is for new command line editors. Not that there are many of those, but you get the idea.

The other "magic" thing to make this actually work is to, rather than immediately going to HN or Reddit or whatever, instead I pick whatever category tickles my fancy at the moment and then find something in the _to check out folder.

I recently had the idea to write a little app that grabs a few random bookmarks from the various _to check out folders and serve them to me in the morning. I think that'll tie the whole together nicely.
> Programming is child's play compared to undergraduate mathematics taught in math departments.

One thing you might learn in math is to avoid making overgeneralized statements that you can’t support.

A valid substitution in your statement for “programming” is writing a compiler. And for “undergraduate mathematics taught in math departments”, basic differential calculus.

Yet we regularly teach smart high school students and first-year undergraduates calculus, and almost never try to teach them to write a compiler, contradicting your proposition.

But what do I know? I’m just a dumb programmer. I can’t read your mind, so maybe you had something a little more specific you wanted to say.
I really like this trend. Also see:

* Raylib - A single header file game engine https://www.raylib.com/
* Miniaudio - A single header file audio library https://miniaud.io/

Both (actually, not just three systems) cross-platform.

For their design and cross-platform support they make for great bases for Go libraries, unlike most C code out there.
No matter how hard I try, my productivity on a plane drops 1 order of magnitude. The dry air and altitude changes are weighted much higher than the quality of the wifi connection.
Washington did not "Move Fast" on TikTok in any sense of the word.... TikTok was wildly popular for the entire global lockdown, and Google Trends shows an early spike in Sep 2019. Peak Popularity was 2020, and for 2 years, China has been able to harvest whatever data they want. Using the phrase "moved fast" is laughable.

"""In a matter of days, the United States is expected to ban federal employees from downloading or using TikTok on government-issued phones or tablets"""

"Moved fast". Give me a break!! I wanted Trump to ban it, Nationally, given that it has 3D facemasks that by nature require learning the 3D shape of a person's face, and that China now knows what all of these peoples/kids faces look like from God-knows how many DECADES of selfie footage from TikTok.

It's a decent last-mile solution rather than a replacement for things like trains. Think about the Livermore BART extension I mentioned that will never be built. That route is currently served by a 40m bus that runs twice an hour and sees approx. 860 riders / day (latest numbers I could find, covid ridership) across its 27 stops. Most of those buses are functionally empty.

An autonomous vehicle could do the same route in 15m (so people might actually use it) and it wouldn't be empty.
It's weird to me that the pilots didn't notice that the engine thrust hadn't increased. I realise they have a lot to monitor and it all happened quite quickly, but it seems like not having your engines at 100% when they're supposed to be would stand out. I'd be interested to see what they would have seen and how obvious it was.
What are you running like a 5 year old distro? The only problem that actually exists that you mention is Dropbox client may have issues and an official Google Drive client doesn't exist. If you are having so many issues then it sounds like you've either chosen a poor distro or it is a user issue. None of the other issues exists for me on Arch. I've never even looked for a 'Linux-supported" laptop, whatever that means.
It often doesn't seem wrong but it's also not right, it's very vague in a lot of places, when you get down to specifics it starts getting really wrong or flip flopping a lot. I had issues with this almost off the bat. It's like Dunning Kruger as a service really.
But that is the same claim that Bitwarden and 1Password make. Both insist that they don't ever see your master password, which means that your vault security depends entirely on it being good enough. And both encrypt everything.

Assuming that I trust Bitwarden not to lie about their security model, what do I gain by piecing together multiple tools to accomplish the same thing?
Good. Tik Tok is bad for children, regardless of who owns it.
But every platform is editorialized by algorithm. Speech moving elsewhere means editing speech.
Yes. This is a strength of our country. It's very weird that conservatives have a hard time capitalizing on it, and instead seem intent on legitimatizing the debate over whether it's a good thing at all.
Thanks, I'll check that out. I really liked his book _Blank Spots on the Map_ (https://www.amazon.com/Blank-Spots-Map-Geography-Pentagons/d...).
I've had the exact same problem, and have experimented with Kagi, DDG, etc, to try to find better results.

ChatGPT, in my opinion, is great for "how do I code X" type questions, but isn't so good at the types of queries you mentioned, due to the lack of a search engine.

My weekend project was an open source combination of Google + GPT that returns pretty good results for these types of queries. You can check it out here - https://github.com/VikParuchuri/researcher

Example - the response to "what are the best current smartphones" is:

`...According to Search Result [2], the best phones have been thoroughly reviewed and tested, and include the Apple iPhone 14 and 14 Pro, the Pixel 7 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Search Result [5] also states that there are strong options available at all price levels, so you don't have to spend a lot to get something great...`
If you don't trust LastPass to encrypt your passwords properly, why would you use it at all?

>That exact kind of thing happens constantly

Like when?

>And of course, the nature of the concern here involves us not knowing that LastPass was fucking up.

What do you mean? The cryptography used by LastPass is very well understood.
I definitely feel the opposing law works. When I see a project with a massive disclaimer about "this crypto is not audited, I'm a noob never deploy this anywhere" I'm likely to see better crypto than most of the commercial products I work with, including ones with sales people that talk about unbreakable crypto.
No possibility for a MITM attack (except, I suppose, with a keylogger, but then you've got bigger problems), and absolutely NOTHING outside of encryption, whereas whoever has this leak now knows what users have accounts on what websites, which is a veritable treasure trove.

That plus security through obscurity: no one is presuming you're going to come out of a Dropbox hack with millions of password vaults. Even finding them would be... nightmarish. (Though I suppose you could somehow hack a Dropbox file index database?) The value of a target like LastPass is absolutely insanely high: it's a concentrated honeypot of encrypted vaults.

Plus, the Android app makes using a Dropbox synced folder location fairly trivial, so that works pretty well. And you can set your own number of password rotations, which, while annoying when it takes my phone 5-10 seconds to unlock, realllllllly helps ensure no one else is going to crack this vault if they ever got it.
Yea, I just saw the Air Base off in a direction I did not recognize as "approaching Dallas", and assumed any used space would be in the same direction. I went back and edited/ deleted some comments.
I admittedly just use Google Search to find content on most sites, whether it be Reddit, YouTube, or blogs.
It is actually bonkers that in this day and age the NYC subway cannot install accurate speed gauges on their trains. You can get an accurate bike speedometer for $20 on amazon, but the NYC subway cannot provide an accurate speedometer for train carrying a couple of hundred people. It is true that trains require more rigorous standards, but it is not a difficult problem. For example you can put a sensor on the electrical motor that will accurately measure motor position. This will allow you to derive speed, as subway motors are directly geared to the wheels at a single unchanging gear ratio.

Same thing for stationary speed sensors in the signaling system. It is maddening that they have to time a train over a distance of 50 feet and use an electro-mechanical timing mechanism. Which has to be regularly maintained and it tends to give wrong readings when not properly maintained, etc. Why not get an instantaneous speed reading with lasers? Those have worked for police officers for 40 years now. Or infrared. Or if you have to time a train over a distance time it with a purely electronic system over a distance of a couple of inches. There are definitely electronics fast enough to do that nowadays. And you can get a purely electronic system that requires zero or almost zero maintenance.
Banning products always distorts markets. If the US decides to distort markets for ideological reasons the CCP has already won.
Why do you find it sad? Everything has a cost. There are plenty of things that harm people every single day that we tolerate readily. For example, 91 lumberjacks died last year. There are way fewer employed lumberjacks than there are subway riders.
You do not store the password on a password manager either. LastPass swears up and down that they never see your master password, all encryption happens client side. I can see good reasons not to trust LastPass at their word, but Bitwarden?
OK, agree to disagree then.
Shoplifting Fuels a $94.5B Problem at American Stores

I agree. Metal's new upscaling is Apple's answer to DLSS, but of course a) it's only just arriving now, b) Apple will never offer optimizations customized to individual games the way Nvidia works with developers. So, we should expect no application process as they keep rolling out better hardware and software, but less drastic results in exchange for that. And the same story will be with improved ray tracing capabilities, except in that case I'm more confident that Apple will release a GPU that can do a certain amount of it usefully for the usual reasons (known hardware to support, lower resolutions.) Nvidia should also be doing that right now, but they've chosen quite a different pricing/availability strategy than Apple has in the last few years of GPU development.
Yep! No issues with the Steam Overlay.
This claim looks strange.

A 16 characters password from all character types can’t be broken.

How could hackers break the vault, with end to end encryption and such password?
Being too often on HN is clearly destructive for me.

Seeing a post about some advanced stuff where I don't understand anything in the article and seeing dozen of different people commenting on it gives me such an imposter syndrome.

My mind goes into the "HN is for people like you, you should know this stuff"
As a fellow participant in the ML world, I think there is compelling evidence to disagree with this take. ChatGPT’s responses on operator valued functions were accurate and valid, however ages of time on google failed to turn up this topic previously.

On coding tasks, chatGPT can ask clarifying questions on requirements and determine if it has enough information to write the code correctly. Unfortunately you need to direct it to ask questions as needed and include appropriate tests to get the right answer.

ChatGPT also fails in cases where it needs feedback from an external environment/documentation search. It will produce close enough code, but may need correction based on observed errors etc.
Social media is today's media and the first job of government is to control the media (with exclusivity) for propaganda. Why are you surprised any government not only wants to be on social media but also to ban ones it can't control?
The engines don’t immediately go to 100% - it takes time for them to spin up, 5+ seconds sometimes.

The engines are also very far from the cockpit, and behind them. They hear them, but not well.

So it’s not that surprising they didn’t immediately notice the problem.

That they did notice, and relatively quickly, is a sign of how well they did. But seconds matter in this scenario, and by then the lag to spin up resulted in no significant change of thrust before impact.

I’m in the same boat, except instead of driving, I decided to get my private pilots license. being able to hop in a plane whenever you want and not worry about traffic or tsa. I always thought it was super expensive and never knew what good it was to fly into a small airport with no car, however, now that I almost have it, I realize it’s a whole community. It’s not an easy process to get and somewhat high maintenance, but can be quite rewarding.

However, it’s not cheaper than commercial. Expect about 10k for the license. Renting a small plane is about $175/hour. Owning a plane only makes sense if you plan to fly more than 100 hrs a year.

You need to fly at least once a quarter and have faa checkride every 2 years.

The small planes are very weather dependent.

However, the first time you fly solo you really feel amazing!
It's a tricky idea to implement in a way that doesn't violate the "principle of least surprise".

Personally, I "solve" this problem with existing settings by excluding NPR/NYT/New Yorker from my global unread feed. They belong to a category (/news) that I can choose to visit if I want to. I find myself not visiting it that often, personally.

That being said, I have thought of implementing something like this. Maybe something that "aggregates" posts into 24 hour buckets, so they'll still show up in your global feed, but won't occupy 80% of the screen space any more.

Curious to hear your thoughts on these ideas.
Most schools ban social media websites on school Wifi (Instagram, Discord, etc.)
Just bring them a tray of brownies when they move in, and say hi to them when they pull in in the afternoon. A neighborhood isn't a birthright; it's a thing you (and all of your neighbors) consciously build. Maybe you need to have the one neighbor who really goes nuts working at it, hosting game nights and organizing the block parties, to really grok this. Economic systems don't really come into it. The neoliberal economic system moved that neighbor of mine to Dallas, and we still all talk to him on Facebook. Presumably he's mobilized his Dallas block similarly. Be that person, or be receptive to that person, and acquire and calibrate your principles of justice separately, because your community doesn't depend on what you believe about health care funding or the max/median wage ratio.

I don't disagree with the argument that our current economic order demands that people move away from their extended families, and that that's bad. But that's no excuse to stop being a good neighbor, or to pretend you need to move to a neighboring county just to continue keeping up your end of the bargain.
Scientific Discovery Raises Questions About Death
Once you hit Delta status tiers you end up with enough free bags that you can skip asking there and just set it up before you go.

If you don’t have status, your strategy is a great one. Delta is pretty good at not trying to charge you in that circumstance. It also helps the flyer’s case that their A321 mainstay was configured with a cabin that provides insufficient overhead bins.
‘The Velveteen Rabbit’ at 100: The story behind the classic Christmas tale
He saved thousands of suicide and depression.

I think that is way more helpfull than most people.

He is hypersensitive to the suffering of others and see the misery we are getting ourselves into. That took a toll on him.

Like many others, I think he had too much trust on the medical integrity and pay a huge price for that.

Look into the benzo addiction, that’s stuff is no joke is get prescribe as if the is no consequences.
Valve isn't abandoning the idea of native Linux games. It is up to the game manufacturer. There are probably about 150 games in my Steam library with native support.

I think the issues you are referring to about compatibility have to do with dynamic compilation and something like glibc, which mostly is a compilation risk that you end up taking but the only times I've encountered it the other packages were already available in my distro and so it was just a matter of updating packages. That is why you should find a distro that is quick to update.
They still require that your vault be hosted by them though. Terrible policy.
> So why doesn't the NYAG charge them with the most obvious scam in history according to HN?

They... did. That was the suit that was settled.

I had exactly the same experience, and I even filed a bug in the bounty program about it 4 years ago.

In my case I was off boarded by an employer, but retained access to it on my mobile device and could read all passwords.

Their initial response was that it was by design, then later tried to pay a bounty I never accepted.
I was super hyped about this till I saw the price. 50 bucks per month.
It's constantly surprising to me how, given how airline safety has improved significantly decade after decade (see https://www.bts.gov/content/us-air-carrier-safety-data, for example), that people still have this "automation is bad" agenda. Every accident is a tragedy, and we should be getting even better, but the narrative that automation (and ironies of automation) are increasing accident rates just seems diametrically wrong.

This seems related to the deep belief in risk compensation and risk homeostasis, despite weak evidence for the former and nearly none for the latter. We can be cynical about technology all we want, but to actually improve that needs to be driven by evidence.
You’re not wrong but I think the “code red” is the marketing edge ChatGPT gets. GPT isn’t doing anything Google doesn’t have infra in place to do likely at the drop of a hat.

Why have they not been innovating search but instead have been adding expanding advertisements at the expend of organic listings. Why has it become so difficult to search for CS questions? Obviously because Google allows blatant content copying (the kind of which would have got my small circle of blogs infracted in the early 2010s, and these are stack overflow clones.)

It’s proof that either a. Google has spent the past decade of free money not caring about providing more utility to the user or b. They are systemically incapable of doing such at this time due to inertia.
> The biggest threat to Google's business is Apple

If Apple could improve on ChatGPT to the point where it really replaced >95% of my web searches, without pushing advertisement on me, then I certainly wouldn't be using Google.

You don't necessarily need to make that comparison: If you make the trains too slow many people will drive instead which is radically more likely to kill them than the train.

So you can still find that there is a speed risk tradeoff the minimizes death which is not the same as minimizing the train risk.

Worse for NY's problems is that in that decision people are probably using something like the 95-percentile trip time as the criteria: It doesn't help them if the train is fast on average since they need to schedule for the worst-likely case. The fact that the crews are playing roulette with an kafkaesque speed limiter system and risking disciplinary action should they anger it essentially guarantees that the times will be both slow and highly inconsistent.
Ken's media partner Josh Barro sums this up in a way that makes a lot of sense to me:

This is, in various ways, unfair. But the point of the bail system isn’t doing
justice. It’s ensuring that people show up for trial.

I hear a lot of movie theater plots about SBF evading trial, but he's a goober, and whatever happens, he's going to wind up in prison, and the threads here about his bail are in retrospect going to read a little silly.
Yeah to be fair I don't see any problem for Google to produce something ChatGPT-like and integrate it with their search

with speech <-> text interface it would also pair well with their "Ok Google" assistants

So I agree I don't think ChatGPT itself will disrupt Google Search, except in the sense of pushing Google to roll out something similar

And I also agree that Google own the entry points - the search bar etc - that would make it harder for a competing product to establish itself
It's more that China represents a national security threat and it's OK to special case logic for hostile foreign entities. Notably China isn't the only entity called out in this bill, also North Korea, Russia, & Iran.

The privacy conversation IMO is a separate conversation entirely. If consumers want privacy, they have options (like, don't use apps which track you). Banning the collection of data on government employees to be consumed by hostile foreign entities is more about the USA Federal government not being OK with hostile foreign government's abilities to track its employees. And not all foreign governments - only the ones named in the bill.
