Some of this can be blamed on the production issues in China and maybe Musk's tweets courting far-right provocateurs, but Tesla was always massively over-valued and this is just things coming back down to reality. Probably still a ways to go as the Cyber Truck and the Semi are likely to disappoint and/or be further delayed.
Thank you for your reply.

I'm thinking the code for your average CRUD or even desktop compositor. A compositor copies pixels from multiple places into one place. Surely that can be defined with a simple loop? But no there's hundreds of APIs in the way. Add Wayland and X11 and you have something that is opaque and understood by very few people.

The motivation behind my comment was that most of programming computers is gluing together APIs to shift data from one place to another before doing something useful with it. The APIs themselves do very little addition or subtraction of data but actual just moving data around and placing it into the right place.

Maybe defining where things should be, declaratively, in order to do a calculation would be useful. So the shape of the calculation defines the data structure, rather than the data structure defining the caclulation.
Analytics engineers are towards the end of data flow - they built data marts and dashboards, often using code.
Lower case u not so much because in some fonts it's just a smaller upper case U.

But the y is as symmetrical as j or g.
As a Canadian, I'm mostly okay with the system because I don't think it's changed much.

My grandmother was nearing her end a few decades ago- very fast moving lung cancer- long before these options were legally available. She was terrified of being unable to breath, dying from that. Her doctor looked her in the eye and said "I promise you, you won't die that way if you don't want to". And she didn't.

Medical assisted suicide for terminal patients has always existed, in the shadows. Now it's just legitimized and being done openly.

I have some concerns over depressed people dying when they might be able to get treatment to help them. I'm sure there are cases of this happening. But I also think most of those people were going to commit suicide on their own anyway. Now it's being done safely, in the sense that a failed suicide can make things even worse.

I'd like to see more being done to ensure these people truly have no other options, but I also know that I'm not qualified to pass judgement. I have faith that the doctors and medical system are doing what they think is best, and that they know more than I do.
I believe both Android and iOS support SHAKEN/STIR, as long as your carrier supports it. On my phone, at least, I see Caller IDs tagged with "likely spam" if a check fails.
I don't shop at Amazon if I can at all help it, so as someone unfamiliar with the return flow: this actually sounds expected. Telling the person you're trying to scam "It's a new feature not built into the main app yet" sounds totally believable, and almost expected for a digital-first company like Amazon. And if a legacy retailer said the same thing, I would consider them mildly slow and fragmented, not necessarily scamming me. "Scammer" wouldn't be the first thing to pop into my head.

Combined with how easy it is to get "support" from scammers instead of actual companies and high-pressure act-now tactics scammers use, and your wife was probably one of the few that caught on.

You are exactly in the center of your project and suddenly, you get it that you can not make a logo motion for your project. What do you do?
You can fairly easily hide from a search engine by essentially doing reverse SEO techniques, by blocking crawlers or feeding them different results, or just hiding behind login screens.

The problem with the similarity technique is that it can find associations between sites that do not link to each other, regardless whether and how they try to hide. It's enough that someone thinks they are related.

Apologies, that's fair -- there are levels to my rant. That's a very important part.

I'll take package managers over shell scripts in concept for one main reason: they reduce reinvention.

The supply chain is always of concern, of course.

A shell script benefits from coreutils -- cp, mv, things like that. You're on your own for everything else, I don't trust that.

They themselves are untrusted code -- for all we know there's no VCS behind it at all. A package manager at least offers some guardrails!

With packages on OBS/COPR, you can at least know/verify the sources you're installing were built in a clean (offline) environment from the upstream sources. It's a small, but notable, improvement.

Also consider you need to rebuild your system and you'd like it to look the same after.

Will you find it easier to run 'pip freeze' / 'dnf history userinstalled'... or crawl your shell history for curl | bash and resolve any drift?
My bad, that's on me, I am having trouble parsing out sarcasm with some of the comments on this topic.

nincompoop! i don’t even know where to start educating you from. as you can see from the comments, (1) it’s not immediately obvious what the use case is, but more importantly (2) discord is asking for permissions related to actions that may never be performed by the user. discord long escaped the confines of the gaming community. now, being a reasonable person, you’d wonder why discord will frighten the first-time installer this way, instead of what for a sure sign that the keylogging is indeed needed i.e. until the user has triggered any push-to-talk action. when that happens they could explain what it takes to make it work, and if user is still comfortable then they can trigger the permission request.

if this isn’t the logical thing you’d do, i pray i never have to use any software you work on since i'd gladly assume it's devoid of any thought, much less empathy.
Show HN: I built a simple CLI helper integrating with GPT-3
Hi all!

I don’t think CHATGPT has gone unnoticed by anyone here on Hackernews. I’ve myself played around a bit with it, but felt it was annoying to always have to log into their GUI to ask the questions.

To scratch my own itch and at the same time learn more about how to write my own command line interface, I created 'askai'. 'askai' is a simple CLI integration with OpenAI’s GPT3 models. I’ve primarily used it to get quick answers to technical questions, like:

> askai "How to mock user input when writing a Python pytest test?"

> askai "How do I remove a conda environment?"

As I've found it quite helpful, I decided to spend some time to package it in a nicer way to share it with all of you. I've also uploaded it to PyPI to simplify the installation process.

'askai' enables you to:

* Ask questions and get the answers straight into your terminal

* Configure which model and model parameters you want to use

* Overwrite saved configurations when you ask questions

Currently, it only supports OpenAI’s models, but my plan is to integrate more endpoints as soon as new capable NLP endpoints are popping up.

I hope some of you find it useful :)
Sounds like they don't have much of an idea either.
> you don’t know how much stack a syscall wants

There are no such considerations when issuing Linux system calls. You place parameters in specific registers, trap into kernel mode and then read back the result from a specific register.

There is one MIPS architecture where you have to pass some arguments on the stack but that's about it.

> vdso are C-ABI objects

Yes, unfortunately. It is not necessary to use the vDSO though. It is a performance optimization. The normal system calls will work just fine.
> We already do have federal ID: our social security numbers

Social security numbers (or cards) are not ID, in any meaningful sense.

> And if you're a man your selective service number, too.

Also not an ID.

> Both are technically not mandatory, but the steps to avoid them are incredibly byzantine and lock you out of lots of social services.

“Immigrate to the US after age 25” isn’t that byzantine. And, actually, selective service registration is technically mandatory, during a narrow age band.
Funny enough I think it's actually undervalued now. Tesla has bought up all the mining rights for the minerals required to ramp up battery production and will likely be the only EV manufacturer that's not supply constrained for the next decade.

I'm still not bought in yet, probably a lot more room for it to crater.
I don't mind reboots, since I sleep at least once a day. The main issue is the inability to restore state. MacOS has reopened everything I had open before a reboot for years now and I'm not sure why Windows still struggles with this.
One thing to bear in mind is that dogs devote much more brain power to their sense of smell than we do. To them, it's a fundamental part of how they perceive the world.

https://www.sciencealert.com/dogs-smell-is-tightly-linked-to...

... researchers were surprised to see the sheer extent of the smell wiring within dog brains.

Veterinary neuroimaging researcher Erica Andrews of Cornell University and colleagues have just mapped domestic dogs' (Canis familiaris) olfactory brain pathways using diffusion MRI scans. This technique uses differences in the flow of molecules, such as water, to create a complex map of tissue structures.

With the data the team built 3D maps of the dog brain's nerve tracts, and traced extensive white matter linking olfactory brain regions, revealing a huge, previously unknown, information highway between dogs' olfactory and visual systems.

"We've never seen this connection between the nose and the occipital lobe, functionally the visual cortex in dogs, in any species," Cornell University neuroimaging researcher Pip Johnson explains.

"It was really consistent. And size-wise, these tracts were really dramatic compared to what is described in the human olfactory system, more like what you'd see in our visual systems."

This is likely what allows our clever canine friends to function extremely well, even without sight. For example, blind dogs can still play fetch.

In that sense (!), I guess astronomy just isn't that interesting to them.
From https://twitter.com/BriannaWu/status/1607719007892738050, written while Tesla was at $123.15:

While the markets have been closed, two major stories about Tesla have broken.

A. Tesla is shutting down factories because demand is plummeting.
B. Musk praised a truly insane Russian propaganda tweet, predicting the fall of the west

She expects Tesla to fall below $100 by 1/1.

It seems notable that the price of used Telsas has fallen 15%+ since August as well, which is about double the trend for used car prices in general: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/price-trends/Tesla-m112
You can request job interview data from companies or them backlisting you etc. GDPR isn't just internet data, it is all data.

Do you think it is good that your healthcare data is secret in USA? If so, why just healthcare data? If a woman buys pregnancy related items, and that company sells that data to everyone else, now everyone knows she is likely pregnant, why should that be completely public and free for all? GDPR prevents that.
Thing is: this is the third article on the topic I wrote in the past few days. Covering your options wasn’t the goal here, it’s in the first article: https://palant.info/2022/12/23/lastpass-has-been-breached-wh.... Particularly the “executive summary” at the start.

As to the “speculations”: I have sufficient experience with LastPass press releases to assume the worst whenever they omit details that they should definitely know. On a number of occasions they covered security vulnerabilities that I found, and I know how they operate.

Mind you, I would be more than happy to learn that I’m wrong. But this isn’t a situation where “hope for the best” is a viable approach.

Note: I did not claim that LastPass is storing master passwords. They claim that they built their system in a way that they cannot. And I merely point out that this isn’t true: they could have built their system in such a way, but they chose not to, despite being warned about it repeatedly.

>>strong legal team that helps respond to these requests. So naturally Elon gutted that team too

Seems like a large percentage of that team was former employees of the government, former FBI agents, former DOJ, etc. or have close familial ties to active government agents

If that is who you hire to "push" back against the government then you are not going to get much push back, it seems to me (and many others) Twitter was not forming teams to resist government influence but to deepen it.

I think gutting the teams was the correct move
The article assumes that Meta's bad news strategy is intended to reduce readers of bad news. I'm not so sure about that. The strategy to release bad news on a Friday is intended to prevent that bad news from becoming the media narrative of the week. Likely that approach doesn't work for a company of Meta's size and importance.

When they release their bad news in the midst of another strong prevailing narrative, all eyes are on the other story, not on meta. There's a fixed capacity for headline news, oped columns and blogs, and hot takes / outrage on social media. If all eyes are focused on FTX or the Queen or the US elections, they might notice Meta's news but they're not going to start the flywheel spinning on it. So even if the same-day readership for their bad news is high, memory of it is low because interest isn't sustained.

Google does have a bunch of features for screening spam calls.

It can identify scammers' numbers (based on user reports). And the phone app will label the call as suspected spam.

There is also a setting to outright block incoming calls from numbers labeled as spammers.

Then there is call screening. The google bot will answer the call and ask questions that you select (like "who are you and why are you calling?"). You get a real time voice transcription of the answer so that you can decide to pick up if needed. But it's handy for spammers because they usually just hang up (or you get some half-transcripted text of a robocall message that was talking over the Google bot).

It doesn't solve the problem completely but it does help.
History shows inflation takes average of 10 years to return to 2%
Definitely. However, the equivalent for the array multiplication in numpy looks like this:

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/22e683d84f2584a6f9a57b2c... + https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/22e683d84f2584a6f9a57b2c...

To know what they do, you need the source for INPLACE_GIVE_UP_IF_NEEDED (https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/b222eb66c79b8eccba39f46f...) and PyArray_GenericInplaceBinaryFunction (I don't even know where that's coming from, it's not defined in Numpy, maybe it's part of the Python interface?).

In the end, both are unreadable in their own way. I personally prefer the Rust version above to the macrofied C version that's in Numpy but that's a matter of taste. I'd also trust the safe Rust implementations more than the C implementations because of the memory management guarantees Rust provides, though I suppose for simple operations like multiplication it'll be easier to make the program safe enough in C.
Have you checked the second link? (emphasis on "self-hosted friendly impl.").

The first one is obviously not designed to serve as a primary self-hosted option but rather to scale for large number of users.

I can certainly fathom $10 billion. But I take your point; my point was that, even if there are a million criminals involved in telephone fraud in India, it's a tiny fraction of overall (and primarily legitimate!) telephone traffic. Interfering with over a billion peoples' ability to talk with their loved ones requires existential damage to our country, not frustrating crime that's best resolved with international cooperation.

Edit: I think a generally useful framing for these kinds of criminal enterprises is comparison to US wage theft: nearly the same amount is stolen from US workers each year in just the top 10 states[1]. This doesn't somehow excuse phone fraud, but you don't see the same kind of grousing for cutting Fortune 500s off of the Internet.

Sorry but no. That's like getting a speeding ticket and complaining about the fine. You break a law - you pay a fine. That is no rent-seeking.

That's no longer opensource: The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons. (https://opensource.org/osd)
Having some free time, I'll take a rough draft cut at these:

> What topics are academic? Which are not?

Topics which discuss general ideas which are logically (or at least rhetorically) decidable are academic. Topics which discuss particular individuals and are matters of taste are not.

> Which questions are fair game for academic inquiry?

cf supra

> Which are not?

cf supra

> How do we know ahead of time what will be useful and what won't be?

If a topic falls under an existing academic discipline, it will likely be useful. As stated above, matters of taste are unlikely to be useful. (possibly, if one has reason to believe one can capture a global distribution of tastes? or provide a theory of changes in distributions of tastes, etc.)

> Is the question above this line academically useful?

Useful for a "philosophy of academics" discipline, probably not so useful for any non-meta discipline. Note, however, that discipline's core questions will change over time, as one subfield gets overworked and new subfields are discovered.

It's not really meaningful to say "100x slower than real-time" or "slightly faster than real-time", "real-time" isn't some threshold of sub-second precision. It usually refers to relative (though maybe absolute wall-clock) time of execution for instructions that are typically controlling hardware that needs precise timings (ie. the time between turning this thing on and turning it back off needs to be exactly 150us).
No idea what you're talking about. I manage LastPass for 200 not very tech savvy users and no one has any problems using it.

It is a beautiful place, I'm visiting there with my wife now, we come several times a year. It does have issues though, education is lacking, there is a real lack of opportunity so you'd better have a good remote job, not really any international flights in and out, you have to hop to a bigger airport like DIA or one in California, and it's pretty monocultural.
>But what fewer people realize is that immigration also raises labor demand, which tends to cancel out the downward pressure on wages.

Underpaid immigrants aren't going to consume as much as the local higher paid workers that would be out of those jobs (so ain't gonna increase the demand themselves). Nor is the squeezed working/middle class going to spend more as to get to businesses having more labor demands.

Most of the author's assumptions are about happy economies on a rise path, where a rising tide lifts all boats. In gloomy economies, immigrants are just used to increase or preserve profit margins.
