Both you and the author of the parent comment I replied to use 'Europe'/'European' and 'Western Europe' interchangibly. That's probably causing most misunderstandings. I live in Poland which is undoubtedly an European country (right in the middle of Europe) but is rather conservative. For example gay marriage is still a controversial idea here - it's not permitted and the majority of public opinion is against.

It does seem like Eastern/Central Europe is generally more socially conservative than Western Europe - but there are many exceptions. Czech Republic is a notable liberal outlier. Predominantly Catholic countries like Italy and Ireland are rather conservative (especially when it comes to issues that the Catholic church is outspoken on like gay marriage, abortion and IVF treatments).

A bunch of examples here:
https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2018/10/29/eastern-and-...

What I'm trying to say is that Europe is not a united entity and political attitudes vary greatly between countries.

Also, I do think American Democrats could be considered far left here in Poland when it comes to social issues (abortion, LGBTQ rights, racism). On the other hand we have free healthcare and free university education and these are taken for granted here. Is Poland more left-wing than US or more right-wing then? I'd say that's incomparable.
A friend of mine had a similar situation. They retained a few acres around their ancestral home and run a homestay during tourist season.

The bulk of the land was leased out to a large coffee company on a multiyear lease.

I understand your dilemma, but I don't see a way around hiring a professional.

Think of one of the simpler tasks. Say you need to fertilize the trees. When is the right time? What is the right amount? How many people do you need to fertilize 8000 trees in time? How do you finance that, including purchasing the fertilizer? Are you even allowed to purchase that much fertilizer (it's been often abused to make car bombs)?

No idea whether fertilizing is even a thing with coffee, but other tasks won't be much simpler.

If you can't hire one, is taking on a temporary partner (for a cut off the profit) an option?
Compiling JS to bytecode is not that uncommon, there's a few anti-bot services that rely on it for obfuscation (like recaptcha or f5 shapesecurity) but so far I haven't seen any open source projects for obfuscating this way
Anecdotally, I spent the last two years trying to grow various stuff in planters on my balcony. I invested quite a bit of time and effort into it, including good soil, fertilizers, monitoring..etc. I kinda figured that while I might not get amazing yields, I have done as much as I could to at least get decent yields.

Reality had a lot to say to the contrary. Between the various pests, weather and nutrient problems, I ended up with relatively unproductive gardens both years (Except the peppers, for some reason those ended up being both very productive and very spicy.)

All of this is to say that your comments on farming are pretty spot on. Growing stuff is hard. Growing stuff so that you make some profit to sustain yourself is even harder.
May they prevail against the great evil that has befallen upon them.
Ask HN: What cloud learning platform do you recommend?
I want to use a learning platform to improve certain cloud computing skills and probably even get some extra certification.

Which would you recommend and why?

Thanks in advance!
If it was me, I would focus on the business side, not the farming side.

Farming is extremely labor intensive and largely a commodity business. Marketing and branding are largely where profits are made in the beverage business.

As an example of a recent successful high grow beverage company, take a look at Liquid Death, which turned a low budget AD into a billion dollar company within years:

A problem with your post is that its interpretation is highly subjective.

Can you name some examples of content that was restricted on grounds of harmfulness that you want to see unrestricted?

What could be possible consequences of lack of content moderation? Consider that not every actor is well-meaning or responsible and not every recipient is able to evaluate or contextualise information very well (or self-assess their (in)competence to do so).
You can also use run meson directly from its source tree with no installation steps, that's what we do in some cases.
Of course it's main use is fingerprinting. Do you think WebRTC is instantiated for genuine reasons the majority of the time? That's real absurdity.

WebRTC is instantiated most often by ad networks and anti-fraud services.

Same thing with Chrome's fundamentally insecure AudioContext tracking scheme (yes, it's a tracking scheme), which is used by trackers 99% of the time. It provides audio latency information which is highly unique (why?).

Given Chrome's stated mission of secure APIs and their actions of implementing leaky APIs with zeal, I have reason enough to question their motives.

After all, AudioContext is abused heavily on Google's ad networks. Google knows this.

Ask HN: Google Search returns page as endless scroll instead of pages
Hi friends,

Google Search suddenly returns result as endless scrolling instead of pages. How can I revert it? The only thing I just changed is the location setting (from Current location to US).

As a side note, the ranking algorithm is really weird. For example, search "8051 accumulator" and the first page is a "featured snippet" of a pdf from some college:

> (Except the peppers, for some reason those ended up being both very productive and very spicy.)

Sounds like you need to look at your soil. What else did you try to grow?

Incidentally, this is one of the reasons why "just stop growing fodder crops for livestock and grow things humans can eat!" doesn't exactly work.
Just ask for links. The example below is contrived. But when you're looking for very specific information, GptChat can save you from wading through pages of Google Search results.

Providing a list of 30,000 pages that are only tangentially related to what you want is not a virtue.

How do you MITM HTTPS without control over the cert store on the client, or access to private keys that let you generate certs that are trusted? You don't, and the threat of this is nation-state-level stuff.

The article you link to posits a malicious PAC file which leaks the contents of request URIs. This is NOT the same as MITMing all HTTPS.

This is also an illustration why, on devices such as this, it's good to layer security with things such as always-on VPN.

EDIT: The root of that article is decent, but it has so many problems... And it starts tacking on the caveats about how it's wrong near the bottom. Like:

"The two researchers showed that some widely used VPN clients, like OpenVPN, do not clear the Internet proxy settings set via WPAD. This means that if attackers have already managed to poison a computer’s proxy settings through a malicious PAC before that computer connects to a VPN, its traffic will still be routed through the malicious proxy after going through the VPN."

This only works if the VPN client doesn't rewrite the routing table to send everything through the tunnel. And if they keep the OS' network state detection from noticing a state change, which in turn triggers a proxy setting refresh. (WinHttpWebProxyAutoSvc specifically does this.)
I believe there is a lot of confusion in the debate between programmers and "the business" on what is actually needed from software manager role.

Sometimes there is need for efficiency and the programmer promoted to manager role will excel as they have devoted their past life to optimization and efficiency anyway.

Other times, there is a need for engineering excellence (-> best practices -> complexity -> over engineering -> bloat). If that's the case you better promote your worst engineer to the manager role.

It is really that simple, but most will fail to see it.
My grandfather took a trip west in 1945 after the war, leaving his wife and kids in Baltimore. He somehow ended up in what's now Rancho Mirage, talking to someone who was selling land. He'd saved up about $10k and sank all of it into a 10-acre grapefruit and date farm, basically a patch of desert with some palm and citrus trees and well water. Took my grandma and dad and aunt out there and they lived in an airstream trailer on the land. Sold the fruit to Dole mostly for juice. Barely made ends meet. When he died in the 90s, the patch sold for over $1m to a hotel conglomerate. So if nothing else... my family has a mantra: Never sell real estate.

For your specific situation, my grandfather had a different saying: "Find yourself a teacher". He claimed this philosophy came from the Talmud, but I can't say. In any event, my grandfather had already gone from being a door-to-door cloth salesman to a cutter to a tailor, and he always found an expert teacher to attach himself to and learn from, and this usually meant someone humbly but seriously devoted to the work at hand. In the case of the ranch, it was a Cahuilla Indian man who had lived nearby, and who taught him how to take care of the trees. My grandfather employed him as a full-time caretaker and kept up his house on the land for the rest of his life.

My advice with anything where you don't have the knowledge to do it yourself would be to find yourself a teacher by searching in the humblest of places for someone with that knowledge, and make them your mentor.
So it's fine for you to have to manually run a sequence of steps (start your computer, open a terminal, navigate to the project, run the build, run the program), but it's unbearable if the build is split in a couple commands?

I don't get it. Also shell scripts are pretty good at running a couple commands, if really that's important.

If something is used 99% of the time for tracking and 1% of the time for genuine useful reasons, it's safe to say it's a tracking mechanism.

Intent is irrelevant, the APIs are fundamentally insecure. Google directly benefits from this financially.
But this new someone claimed he's extreme pro free speech.
Wow, that's aggressive. I merely pointed out that in my opinion, the fact that HGT appeared from scratch in a computer simulation was interesting enough for engineers who feel strongly about the subject to be aware of it. This isn't particulary interesting to me and I know about it.

Also, when I was a student and had to much time, we built a genetic algorithm to train a connect 4 IA, and it helped me understand how a very simplified evolution theory actually work. I would advise you to do the same (let's face it, CS courses are a joke and you probably could do this during classes)

The farmer manager is likely how I will handle it. I have no interest in being a farmer (for now) but still want it as a business that I oversee, hence the need to learn at least a few things about how things work. I'll looking to hire people then. I realise it will be hard and will require a lot from me, but that's why I want to try, the new venture is exciting. Money is not a problem because I live in a third world country, labors and lands are still cheap.
OP here. It was... I was really fortunate that some other company had figured it out in parallel with MS, because I was hitting a dead end.

I got to the point where I was pretty sure that WPAD wasn't working right, and was in the midst of capturing all sorts of data and escalating that, when a side conversation prompted someone to ask "was it you I worked with on X?". Then it all came together.

I think this is one of those things that ends up being so esoteric most folks haven't worked on it, then the chain of events leading to it... But the moment I heard the trigger I was able to repro it... That was quite a relief.

Any hardware product company has to be atleast one cycle/model ahead in prototyping and development. If the 13 is launched today, then 14 should have already finished prototyping and development.

The "unprecedented" is because they found this after the 13 launch, and it's not an integration issue – it's a core issue. It's not possible to go back to architectural drawing boards in the current product iteration. So they had to do a hail mary and revert back to the previous launch's GPU.

That does count as a major goof up (if it happened ofc). We have many popular YouTube reviewers saying there is no reason to buy the 14 series, the 13 series are equally as good _(except the Pro Max's dynamic island)_. Apple just happens to be in a comfortable position. These kind of things could kill smaller hardware product companies.
With very simple tools (and quite a bit of patience) it is possible to make spherical and parabolic mirrors that deviate from the true shape by (much) less than one wavelength of light, which is rather impressive.

I happily hire anyone that is that knowledgeable, but where I live that is rare, and they are probably running their own stuff. I wholly agree with you though, I won't venture into this alone or without a general view of how things work.
Now add something like clang with custom wasm flags there. Or Tigress for obfuscation. Launch node.js app for testing after build. Few obvious lines in shell script. I guess few weeks of learning the tools with other approaches.

My unprofessional approach to C so far was to avoid libraries, even most standard library and write very simple C code (avoid C++ as well). Simple C code compiles at tremendous speed. Something like 100k lines per second or even faster. Especially if you don't need optimization (for development cycles). So you don't need to think about incremental compilation and things like that and it makes everything dumb simple.
It's a moot point.

If you are buying the whole system new then you buy M-capable drives.

If you are stuck with G7 drives - then you don't format your tapes to M, even if you have 1 G7M drive.

And if you value your data, ie you want to able to recover it someday then you need N+1 drives of needed generation and format anyway.

There was definitely bad performance hits on older phones after about a year. Not exactly sure what causes that.

Maybe something in the older Androids, maybe performance of the hardware has just increased so much that it finally caught up with software.

Older phones should be fast, just like old video games, but they haven't optimized that much, they just stopped making stuff slower and started mostly incremental gains and stuff that requires new GPUS.
There are a handful of "open source LLM" initiatives out there, although I don't think any of them are quite up to the level of ChatGPT. Possibly one of the more interesting ones is GLM-130B.

Released by some folks at Tsinghua University in China, back in August. The model itself is licensed under some janky "free to use, but not open source" license, but it looks like most of the code for training, evaluation, etc. is available and licensed under either the Apache License or a BSD-like license.

FWIW, I tend to agree with your overall sentiment. As AI becomes progressively more capable, it represents an ever increasing possibility of consolidating more and more power into the hands of fewer and fewer entities. I believe that one way to counter that (albeit not one without its own risks) is to democratize access to AI as much as possible.

Actually, now that I think about it, wasn't something along those lines purportedly the original idea behind OpenAI in the first place? Or am I having a "Mandela Moment" and mis-remembering?

This accident was caused by a violation of #3. I've no doubt that the pilots in question were completely capable of performing these maneuvers manually - they failed at identifying which particular mixture of automation and manual control they were in, and in taking the correct steps during them.
