ChatGPT seems to have a layer to tokenize at the word level. It doesn't really understand letters or characters in a word. It's also really bad at counting.

This example combines two things it is bad at (letters in a word and counting). It is better not to do that.

Defeating a SLAPP motion is not hard, if you actually have anything resembling a case. So the question is: how common are actually libelous statements on social media? I suspect they are quite common.

Would most targets qualify as public figures? Perhaps, but perhaps not. Remember, the point of this is not to quash public criticism of the powerful, it's to extract money. There is no need for the purported victim to be a public figure.
Debian has versioned releases and thoroughly patched, extremely old software. Arch Linux has rolling releases and mostly unpatched up to date software.

Mostly because manufacturing requires labor and causes pollution. Both are very expensive in the USA and very cheap in other countries

I mean I already shovel a ton of money at Apple. They can probably just bake it into the prices of everything else, but I'd probably do another "Siri+" subscription on top of it all if it meant fixing internet search.

What I worry though is that middle managers at Apple are going to start grabbing for their share of the advertising pie and everything is going to go to shit across the board in 5-10 years or so.

Dropping from 18 mpg to 10 mpg would increase your cost of fuel by 80%. It'd be hard to be oblivious to it.
This is true. When I interviewed at a large investment bank for a position as a developer on a low-latency market making desk after completing my PhD in EE at the University of Washington, the managing director, who had a Master's from Stanford, wondered "why UW" and asked "why didn't you go to Stanford?"

Virtually all the traders were from elite schools. Devs and quants had diverse backgrounds.

I completely forgot that I entered a coding contest using QC.

Ars Technica write-up: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2007/11/ic-7/

My page: https://codesorcery.net/tag/ironcoder.html

The basic idea was that after launch, the app would use the NSWorkspace API to catch subsequent apps launching and fullscreen your Mac with an animation of the new app playing a guitar on stage, meanwhile the other apps already running had their icons in the crowd, dancing. The more apps you had launched, the rowdier the audience would get.

I used QC to create the animations with the placeholders for app icons and names, and then some variables related to crowd intensity. Then, at runtime, the app could plug in results from the NSWorkspace API to fill out those graphics and dial in the crowd response level.
You would get a book similar to the "Oxford Dictionary of Quotations". I'm not sure which specific book existed back then with that content, but books that handled these types of very specific deep dives into a subject were very common.

Read some very old stories and you might get a flavor for how life worked back then - people didn't just throw their hands up and give up, there were usable options to find this stuff out - the reference section of your local library was very important.

The types of books don't exist much these days for obvious reasons.
I am too (T1). There are in fact mandates to tell us the amount of carbs in a given food. That's how you can count carbohydrates in your food. Raw fruits and vegetables have an exception because that's public information. Unlike the amount of sesame, which frequently gets added under the label "spices" so unless we legally require them to label it, there's no way to know.
Rotate the most sensitive ones first. Then incrementally rotate the others.

Notes on a site/password go in the "extra" field, which is encrypted.

I'm one of those people that from a young age gave religion a bad rap.

The problem is nobody ever told me about its utility. I was just dragged to church every Sunday and occasionally lectured on God / etc. It was really easy for a young mind to get cynical about it especially amongst a family that was very preachy.

I wish someone had said "whether or not you believe in THIS god, there is utility in believing in SOMETHING higher than yourself. When you grow up, and are deep into your work life, there will be dark days when you will have nothing that can comfort you, other than the belief that things will get better, and that someone or some thing is more in control than you think".

I wish someone had explained that there is immense utility in the community of religion. That you could end up in your 30s without much of a broad social community. Sure friends, sure family, but not really belonging to any community bigger than those (other than work).

I feel like the religious people around me as a youth really failed. There IS actually a good reason to have a faith. It doesn't have to be because you're afraid of going to hell. There's actual utility in it, mental utility.
I was remembering this article:

https://reason.com/2022/12/01/students-at-yale-faced-mental-...

But digging in it seems they may have been a little sloppy in their statement.
Most supply chain attacks are pretty orthogonal to whether there's a chain of trust on the git repo containing the package definitions, as far as stuff like poisoning cache.nixos.org with a backdoored binary that doesn't actually match the build definition given.

Anyway, as far as robotics in particular, no one worth their salt is treating the computer or ROS as "trusted" for the purposes of last-mile safety— we're using safety-rated lasers, PLCs, and motor controllers for the physical safety part of the equation. The computer is critical in the sense that it's critical to keep the robot driving and therefore critical for business operations, but it's deliberately not in the loop that keeps humans or property from being physically harmed.
Wow, I need glasses. Read that whole article but the first line was bugging me. Went back read it again. Never noticed it said "more".

Thanks!

I still remember the historical hoopla on major versions. The choice quote below was on their page when the team announced that all v3 development was stopping so they could focus on the alpha v4. Relevant Reddit thread[0].

When we shipped Bootstrap 3, we immediately discontinued all support for v2.x, causing a lot of pain for all our users out there. That was a mistake we won’t be making again. For the foreseeable future, we’ll be maintaining Bootstrap 3 with critical bug fixes and documentation improvements. v3 docs will also continue to be hosted after v4’s final release.

I used to have a FitBit that I wasn't entirely happy with. After some health issues, I recently upgraded to a FitBit Charge 5 that I'm mostly satisfied with. It was quite inexpensive; I got mine for $99. It does continuous heart rate monitoring, but I have doubts about the accuracy of its resting heart rate calculation. It has all of the "interesting sensors" you listed, but I haven't explored them all. The one feature that decided me was the ElectroCardioGram (ECG) function. It's not perfect. It requires that you sit very still for 30 seconds with thumb and forefinger grasping the sides of the FitBit, and it only checks for A-Fib (Atrial fibrillation), but there aren't that many fitness bands that have that function, and it was important to me to get one with that feature.

My biggest disappointment with this band is the sleep tracking (which was also a failing with my previous FitBit). I have to get up at 7:30 to feed my cat, then I go back to bed for an hour or so. Both my old and my new FitBit record 7:30 as the end of my sleep period; they ignore the sleep time after 7:30. I'm also not convinced that a band you wear on your wrist can accurately track REM sleep.

I use the FitBit app for some other features and controls, but I have no idea about "Open data access, reverse engineered APIs, 3rd party data analysis apps".

All in all, I'm happy with my FitBit Charge 5, and I think it's a good value for its price.
Sorry to hear about your generator fire. Power stuff is usually a major drag because most of us on the IT side can’t do anything about it.

I’m on-call ops support for a public safety answering point (a “911 call-center”) this weekend. It’s a regular call rotation and my number was up for this one. It’s usually quiet— except when it isn’t.

I’m gonna go on-site to a Customer’s on-prem server room tomorrow morning and swap out a bad drive in a SAN. I’m pretty happy because I know there’s no chance of a “Hey, while you’re here-” event! Empty offices mean no unexpected questions!
My sad related factoid to this is that suicide overtook car accidents as the leading cause of death of teenagers in Colorado. This is because although suicide is a worsening problem, crash safety and driver education have improved much faster than the suicide rate has been rising, causing them to flip for the first time.
> I'd put the odds of Fastmail failing entirely as a business rather higher that those of any single user having an unresolvable 2FA glitch with a gmail account

Well that's funny, because I see a desperate post by a gmail user with an unresolvable 2FA glitch (except by screaming for help on tech-oriented forums hoping someone will notice) basically every week, and yet somehow Fastmail isn't out of business yet. And who knows how many "normies" without an HN/Twitter megaphone just silently lose access, weep a bit and give up?

I have no doubt that Google won't actually lose my email data, but if I can't access it and have no recourse then there's no difference in practise.
I usually volunteer, whether or not I actually end up working varies.

Fingers crossed for this year. I'm hopeful, we've done well to improve reliability and coach the junior teams
Choose a complex base password + a memorizable _algorithm_ that combines (eg) domain names with the base password. That satisfies all of your requirements, and it's not super difficult to create an algorithm that is easy to perform mentally and hard to reverse.

I started doing this in college, and it's been super easy to keep up and my passwords are pretty secure.
Yes that'd be quite a problem. Our cold lasts so little here that I've never had a need to start any of my tractors in the freezing, just wait a day and it's back to warm.
Working on my own startup so putting my all into it.
For the job I work at, I easily have 100-200 accounts that I need access to (we have multiple environments for the same projects, so things tend to get inflated very quickly). The accounts that I need to access are accounts that I did not make, and do not have admin control over. If I didn't have a password manager that someone could "share" these passwords to me, I would instead have to do some wonky method of:

Employee sends me two emails encrypted. Email 1 contains a list of usernames. Email 2 contains a list of passwords.

Any time I need to access any site, I need to open up the two files that were sent, count down to whatever line that project would be relevant to, then copy/paste the username from the first file. Then do the same with the other. (And hope that I didn't miscount.)

This also doesn't account for things like password expiration. Some of our projects require it, while others don't. I would constantly be receiving new encrypted emails with this info from people, and be struggling to keep the locally stored files updated.

This would then also open me up to higher risk in that, if my computer ever got compromised, or anyone elses for that matter, than then every single password would have to be changed for every single site, and new encrypted emails would have to be sent out.

It's stressing me out just to think about, honestly.

Password managers are, honestly, kind of a clunky and weird idea. I think that the sorts of problems we see are likely always going to be an issue, but until we get passed the entire idea of even using username/password as the standard, than we're going to need a means to manage them in this way. Basically, I wouldn't call Password Managers "secure" but I'd call them "secure-ish". It's making the best of a bad situation.
Docker Hub‘s rate limits aren’t that low but note also that AWS hosts their stuff on the much faster public.ecr.aws and many open source projects have switched to either Google or GitHub’s container registries, too.

We were hit by this at an unfortunate time budget-wise and by the time purchasing was an option had already shifted our usage to the other registries. I fully support Docker trying to find a better business model but this felt like it was a rather abrupt transition for something which had been free for so long.
Seems that the underlying study that included the Bolt was from Feb. 2019 (the AAA study cited), so their battery recall/fix and newer software may have helped.

Another couple of red flag in the AXIOS article was: "AAA found the loss in driving range could be as high as 41% with the heater on full blast." Hmmm, even with the recent Siberean cold air mass blast here in Colorado, I don't need the heater on full in my ICE cars with outside temps of -5F. Also, the recurrent.com study show some of the vehicles ratings based on verified range versus estimated range - why? Perhaps it's accurate, but mixed methodologies in the same study.

Currently in Melbourne Australia having been dropped right in it by a friend who said I could rent their place while they're on holiday and then they changed their mind last minute yesterday, leaving me suddenly homeless on Christmas Eve. Currently in a park on Christmas day a three hour train ride away, because I had nothing else to do and rides are free today. Thanks for your post, it really cheered me up on a Christmas Day unexpectedly spent totally on my own, half a world away from family. Peace
You think it's the proponents that miss that it doesn't need to be 100%? The arguments I see that act like it has to be 100% EVs are basically all anti-EV arguments.

It's a good test to determine if the replier is human, but it isn't a good test of whether or not it's a decent answer to the question posed. Can you definitively sit here and say that flipping a plate necessitates the antecedent? Replace "cupcake", "plate" and "flip" with technical libraries and terminology and you can easily re-create ambiguity. The other thing is, there is that 1 in 100 human that would assume you mean just the plate. I think there's a lot of nuance being glossed over in this test.
No one knows "what would have been different", but it is very possible that the success happened not because, but despite of Linus rants. And if he would have had self reflexion earlier, I might now be able to recommend Linux to non tech people and enjoy a laptop without suspend and hibernation issues.

Just a theory.
I was openly and directly referred to that throughout my last job's (voluntary, non-layoff) exit process, including paperwork for returning my work computer. It's also not an uncommon legal/HR term.[1]

Am I supposed to take it personally? Honest question. It just seemed procedural to me.

It seems that both are struggling with drivers and more advanced system states, both are in a far worse position than Linux desktop was in the mid to late 2000’s…

And this is really where it’s difficult to get any real progress without massive industry backing.

So I’m not sure how either will become a contender for any real word desktop use without someone at the scale of Google putting their weight behind them.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.

Lol it feels a little cliched and HNish to immediately disagree, but: if I've learned anything it's that no online community is holy. Many have come and gone in my life. They are beautiful and offer a lot - but always in the context of sitting and staring at a screen. I think they ultimately aren't as valuable as they seem, at least compared with the real world.
I love my analog password manager.
Judging from the policy, it could also be argued the rules are there to protect the student organizers. A lot of people don't seem to realize that regulations surrounding extend beyond age restrictions. Similarly, a lot of people don't realize that insurance coverage is a factor whenever an organization is involved (and, of course, insurance companies will add additional restrictions). If things aren't done properly, the university and the students will be liable.

(Note: I am not suggesting the university isn't trying to protect their own interests. I am suggesting they are doing more than protecting their own interests.)
You are missing something here... YouTube doesn't block your own videos on your own website.
If you don't keep your 2FA keys in your password manager, it offers much better protection than anything you can come up with in your head.

What happens when you need to change a password on one site? How do you know which password algorithm you're using on which site now?

Why am I asking you this? Because I was in the same situation and it became difficult to track. Now I keep all my passwords in a password manager, my 2FA codes in another app/service, and my recovery codes in the third place that's not connect with the first two in any way. Similarly, obviously, I don't have my 2FA service account + password in my password manager.
Thanks! Any idea of how 1password compares with bidwarden in terms of security?
Best of luck with the generator.

I'm on a hotline, volunteering, for people who might be feeling extra mental stress due to the holidays and might do something they regret.

I've never seen the HN crowd claim crypto isn't beautiful computer science. Of course it is.

However, there are many other valid criticisms of crypto. So that's a weird strawman you're setting up there.

I'd put Fourier transforms on the list of algorithms that are extremely useful to know. (Well, not exactly the algorithm itself as much as the concept.) Many things make a lot of sense if you understand Fourier transforms, such as computer graphics, audio processing, signal processing, image processing, data analysis, filtering, and electronics. But Fourier transforms get hardly any attention on HN.
Like it’s really not moving that much. Here’s what I said.

> Imagine you’re holding a plate with a cupcake on it and flip the plate over, what will happen?

The cupcake will fall off the plate and likely land on the ground or wherever the plate is flipped.

At that point you'll be singing How DRY I Am!

I think you should reevaluate that. Far too many people have been cancelled and imprisoned in the world by the self-righteous authoritarians you are defending right now.

Hell, I'm living in a country that's about to descend into literal communism mere days from now. Among the many laws they're going to implement, there are "political intolerance" laws that criminalize intolerance towards leftists in general society, in the job market and pretty much any context. It will be a crime to boycott a business if you don't agree with their politics, for example. They're calling it the "big democracy package" but I don't believe for a second the "right wing nazis" will receive any protection.
I'm on call this past week and next week!

My on-call is a bit odd because it's both as OSS maintainer deciding whether I need to coordinate a hotfix release, as well as certain functionality within a managed service (PaaS) enabled by the OSS project.

HN is awesome, and so are you, OP.
As per my uncle's situation, he works for the US army, is due to retire in a year or two with a full pension, and moved to be closer to family and friends. He mostly works remotely. It being the army, sometimes he has to go to the nearby base 20 minutes away, but other times he has to go to the far away base for some reason or another.

I've also noticed that a lot of the elite and ivy league schools have started pulling themselves from the US News and World Reports ranking system. Which is a great ploy to keep the mystique of these schools alive while they lose most of the educational advantages that they had over other schools.
