True for Mastodon, though most people moving over will be looking for another free place to stay. So the topic of paying will keep coming up at smaller localized node levels. There will be friction as the process of signups, node management, and people's expectations conflict.
my experience is the opposite. i want to book direct, but OTAs are 70% of the time cheaper. Its "technically possible" because the OTAs in most cases have contract terms that prevent the hotel from undercutting their negotiated rates, at least in advertised online prices.
I think it's more that there's a structure of abusive intermediation (that being the recording industry as a whole, not just the agents) that has successfully inserted itself between creator and audience such that it is able to extract it's troll toll, and artists are unable to route around it because the industry act as gatekeepers and without them you won't be able to reach a large audience.
Changing the password opens it to compromise when it's being changed. Capture of that account is possible and easy at that point.

It also interferes with password managers and secure keys.

That's what you get when vendors charge per seat.
I don't think that is how it works. The judge sets bail at $250 million. Someone has to guaranty that $250 million will be paid if SBF skips town. The person guarantying the $250 million has to prove to the judge they have $250 million to pay in the event SBF skips. If a bail bondsman is used SBF would have to pay the bail bondsman $25 million to give that guaranty to the court. So somebody somewhere has to have access to $250 million dollars. Either SBF, bail bondsman, parents or some really nice dude off the street that has a spare $250 mill stuck in his desk.

The bureaucracy breeds deeper.

The administration has decided it needs more administrative staff to administer the rules from the administration. And then more staff to administer the staff … the cycle continues.

why? in what world are you so busy that you dont have "enough time" to go to your home, take time to unwind, clean up after a day's work, cook a meal for you and your family and enjoy a family dinner/lunch/breakfast?"

replace cooking with laundry/cleaning/bathing/repairing/small fixes around the home?

is life REALLY SO FAST AND TOUGH that you have to do multi-tasking basic human social/personal proceses?
The AudioContext is suspended (by default, no auto-play). You have to resume() this on a user interaction.

E.g., add a click-handler for the play button, which triggers,

if (myAudioContext.state === 'suspended') myAudioContext.resume();
It's pretty nebulous, but the work output of a data scientist would be a predictive model, where those results are either useful for some business unit (forecasting), or capable of being shipped as part of a software system and product.

Using Uber as an example, a data scientist would figure out the algorithm/model for assigning the next driver when you request a ride, the model for the shortest route (maybe), and delivering a model to correct GPS works in cities with huge buildings so drivers know exactly where to pick people up when they stand next to skyscrapers.

It requires a ton of infrastructure to do good data science work, since you not only need to validate that the model works using the exact same data in testing/production, but you need to take code that a non-SWE runs, integrate it into the build, figure out the right operational metrics, then deploy as part of some release strategy.

The model is really the smallest part of that process, but occasionally, you can get a huge lift by having someone apply a lot of interesting math.

yeah exactly, as a man, you should focus on increasing your status in society, and through those activities that increase status, you ultimately find meaning.
Because this is a new meeting, and it sounds like - from some of the quoted questions - executives have been requiring managers provide feedback/checkin ruling in a way that impacts the ranking of the IC without any time for the IC to address the concern. Presumably the perf review/ranking can then reference the unaddressed concern.
My company requires us to change our password every 90 days due to such externally imposed demands so mine ends in two digits which have been counting up for almost ten years now.

The magic is still there! In this case, the model for OpenAI's Whisper, which is arguably doing the bulk of the work here, is Open Source (under the MIT licence), and freely available for download at https://github.com/openai/whisper. You can run it wherever you want, though something with a GPU will let you do 5x realtime (or better!) transcription.
Use a secure element with a password manager already. Specifically, certain password managers can handle yubikey as storage.

Look at high quality comments such as:

> Why is Stallman still BDFL if he hasn't contributed a meaningful amount of code in years? Let him be the spokesperson so he gets the attention he desperately needs and leave the coding standards to people who code.

>> I wish people would stop parroting that stupid lie. RMS is curently heavily involved in GNU Emacs development and has been for many years. Just check the mailing list sometime.

So I don't think that HN is getting worse, I think its just people who forget that it was bad back then as well.
Has anyone improved their energy levels dramatically over the years?
Hi one of the biggest hinders I have felt that prevents me from success is a lack of energy. I have done everything else. I take adequate amounts of sleep, eat good food, hit the gym,etc. But nothing has improved that much. So now my plan is to take up running and do some Wim Hoff style breathing exercises to see if that would improve the situation. What have been your experiences?
Looks like a great app! Congrats on getting two paying customers. One tip for the author:

In setting prices, remember the price elasticity of demand, which is how much people respond in terms of the quantity they buy depending on the price.

The demand curve might be such that as demonstrated two people want the app for $20 (the price charged). But perhaps ten people would buy it it for $9, maybe fifty people want it for $5, and perhaps at $0.99 no fewer than ten thousand people would buy it.

(In poker terms: you're giving them a price; how many big blinds would they call? Only the 1% of hands can call a 20 big blind raise, everyone else folds and moves on.)

If demand is highly elastic, setting the price at $2.99, $1.99, or $0.99 might be a great idea.

The author could try experimenting with discounts to see how much demand there is at various prices. It is not an exact science and there is no way to tell ahead of time. Starting at $20 and going down from there seems reasonable.

It might depend on how many customers the author wants to support.

I've drawn for you this diagram about how economists talk about quantity and price, illustrating it in a simple way (you can think of it as rows in a ledger going from high to low prices and listing how many are wanted at each price, high to low):

The problem with the Data Scientist market is that Data Scientist is a fuzzy definition. It's pretty clear what skillset makes a good software engineer, but nearly anyone can call themselves a Data Scientist, even if they just clicking around in Excel. This has resulted in these bootcamps and certifications that "make you a Data Scientist in 14 days" - now everyone with minimal qualifications can apply for Data Scientist roles. That's why the market appears so crowded, and it is. People thought it's an easy and quick way to a high paying job, resulting in a flood of low-quality applicants for these positions.

There is still a lot of room for people who have strong engineering AND data engineering/ML/math/statistics skills. But then don't call yourself Data Scientist because that puts you into the same low-barrier camp as all the others. From my own experience it's a clear resume red flag: Almost anyone that market themselves as primarily a "Data Scientist" has little technical skills.
He won't tell you obviously because he's a selfish person who dosen't want to aid the competition.
Twitter's biggest cost at the moment is Elon Musk himself.

There's been tons of dumps posted. Normally I see the download or magnet links on Reddit or HN. Even with hashes people have broken 69% [0] to 85% [1] of the accounts. There's mailing list or forums for various related tools (cracking tools, gpu cracking, have I been pwned, etc.) that discuss these kinds of things, including where to get the passwords and/or hashes.

One of the summaries claimed that 3% of the cracked passwords were 12 characters long (some 1.9M). 48% of the cracked passwords were lower case and numbers.

Often a thread that mentions the compromise/leak also mentions the newest "batch" that includes the new entries. The last one I tracked was RockYou2021.txt, some 100GB, around 10GB compressed. Just use your favorite egrep/perl/python to filter for whatever you want. I checked the a random torrent and found 25 people on it.

I agree on your comments on the distribution, but the average user has shockingly little entropy, and human password entropy doesn't scale with password length. I expect a decent chunk of the passwords are going to be whatever the user's default password was and either repeating or extending it in obvious ways. Even the simplest approach of testing 2 words or 3 words for a total 12-15 characters with the simple 3/E i/one and 7/L replacements would likely. Granted I'm not expecting the same 8 character 69-85% with 12 characters, but I also don't expect much significantly less, and I believe 33M accounts were stolen.

Without a trial and witnesses testifying, most shenanigans will remain unknown. This is why the odds favor he takes a plea or has an unexpected medical issue.
How is it nitpicking? The distribution tail effectively goes to a frequency of zero. Increasing to 10M doesn't solve the problem because the space is so vast, by the time you get to a fraction that has the similar area under the curve as 1M for 6/7/8 chars, you've lost any compute advantage. We're not talking an order of magnitude, we're talking multiple. As much as I know y'all want to hate on any password manager that isn't your favorite, math doesn't care about what strikes you as nitpicking.
Major providers are more valuable targets because the potential loot is bigger.

I wonder if major providers are also more likely to detect intrusions. This is the part that concerns me about non-cloud alternatives. For example, if KeePass got compromised, how long would it take for us to learn about it?

(Although I don’t have much faith left in LastPass, and I don’t have strong reasons to think that 1Password is better since as an outsider to their operations I know just about as much about either.)
"In math, 73% of 11th-graders earned A’s, Bs, and Cs. Tests scores showed only 19% met grade-level standards."

Private schools.

Grade inflation in private schools is even worse, since they don’t want to risk a parent pulling their kid (and losing the $10,000s in annual tuition fees that parent pays).
I'd suggest that auto filling is a bad idea.
i have bitwarden auto fill when i use a hotkey combo. That, in my mind is safer.

For the very reason he mentions down the page :

>Use tools so you can't mess up even if you're not paying attention.

*Note its worth noting that this hotkey combo only works on sites that you have logged against that password. it wont just blurt out the next password.
yeah but if you are really in need for low-poly models I see no reason why you wouldn't use regular 3D software. The interface of this is tiny as it runs on PICO-8.
They can also be opened by other monsters (I explain why this is useful later).

In other words, this device is the analogue of a transistor in electronic machines --- a signal-controlled signal switch. The notion that NAND is the "most basic level" required for digital computation is widespread, but a lower level exists, and this is it.

My system is not Turing complete, and it's because it doesn't have unbounded loops and state. When monsters arrive at their destination, they stay there forever. There's no way to "reset" monsters. This can probably be done by selectively recalling (teleporting) certain monsters so they can act as input to the next iteration of the calculation. This is probably the next step to proving whether or not Doom is Turing complete.

The other person's article linked near the end shows that he came up with the exact same thought:

We'll place a teleporter right in front of them and they'll find themselves locked away in a circuit of our devising spinning a hamster wheel for our benefit. Forever. Just make sure the circuit is placed where the player will always be a specific direction (e.g., south) so they'll forever keep trying to run in that direction.

Thus, the monsters can be thought of as the "electrons" or "working fluid" of this machine.

One of the ideas I've had in my mind but never got around to is to generate a game level that replicates the 6502, which has been reverse-engineered completely: https://davidmjc.github.io/6502/cd.svg

It’s uncommon? It still happens to me every time I’ve used a different windows laptop, and I haven’t even been on a MacBook for more than 6 months, so not legacy hardware.

That being said, it happened on my m1 MacBook a few weeks ago - so seems like Apple is no better ;)
You’re assuming an attacker can access this database somehow? And that the LSH of “somebody else” is reversible? I’ve don’t understand the vulnerability you’re describing.

I'd be fine to run Ruby with asdf or rvm on my Linux laptop. I'm also fine to run it in a docker container. Performance is basically the same for me. The choice was made by my customer and it's them using Macs. They deploy in Linux containers though so that's probably why they accept not using all the performance of their hardware: same environment for production and development, no surprises.

Do you not remember the “built for internet explorer in 1024x768” buttons? That was annoying. It also goes against interoperability which is a core principle on the web.
No. Generally this is because it is not a technical capability problem, but a business problem.

Often, sites which use OpenID for authentication either have no automated account recovery, or do recovery based on a verified email claim. This means those relying parties do indeed rely on the reliability and service support promises of the OP, as well as the validity of attribute data shared.

If ISPs or Google had been interested in providing webfinger-based discovery, we might have been able to create a decent UX around an assumption that your identifier was an email address, and that a local authentication process (including potentially an emailed code or link) was an acceptable fall-back. But there was never really critical mass for this to happen.
Sounds like it might be time to look for another job to be honest. Seems like you are stuck in your role and cannot really develop further.
What a complete non sequitur.
That wasn't the "theme". Like I already said once: you changed the subject to try and argue something different than what was initially said. You've then decided to, as best as I can tell call me an asshole to people in the service industry because I pointed out that you kept changing the argument to something less extreme.

I don't disagree with "drinks are expensive" I disagree that they're commonly $20-30. That's all I've ever said and you seem deeply intent on trying to say that actually 18 or 15 or 12 dollar drinks are also expensive, which sure okay but that's irrelevant!

Like, all I said is that I was amazed at 20-30 dollar drinks, which I still am, you managed to find one bar with drinks at that price point, and when I said that drinks at that price point are rare even in expensive cities, you said "in 2010", when I pointed out that no, even today its difficult to find drinks at that price point, you started taking potshots. It's really weird. And yeah "you're an asshole to bartenders" is clearly just a potshot that had nothing to do with the conversation.
I'm reminded of a quote by Roger Waters of Pink Floyd when discussing the recording of "The Dark side of the moon"

"Waters has said the words for “Time” came from a eureka moment he experienced as he approached the age of 30 and Floyd were putting together Dark Side. He had spent his adolescence and young adulthood waiting for life to begin, only to discover that he was already living it. The notion is reflected in the lyric, “And then one day you find 10 years have got behind you / No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.”

“I suddenly thought at 29, ‘Hang on, it’s happening’,” Waters told Mojo. “It has been right from the beginning, and there isn't suddenly a line when the training stops and life starts. … To be here now, this is it. Make the most of it.”" [1]

A useful survey of current efforts. However, I don't see what I want here: depth. The third dimension. Yes, we think visually. But we also aggressively compartmentalize. We rigorously group things into mental boxes, dig into the boxes when necessary, or stick them in our mental attic while concerns are elsewhere.

There are examples of grouping and some clear hierarchies. But our mental processes are more complex. Things can exist in multiple boxes, boxes can overlap, crosscut, have different priorities, constraints, etc. Conventional hierarchies are too simple.

nice list, but not sure about password managers... especially in light of what is currently going on with lastpass. a lot of phishing will come out of that to trick users to give away their master password. then what? or what if google, apple, what have you, ban your account?

there is no silver bullet. we need a lot common sense and not preaching in absolute terms.
