the harm isn't proven

But it is, shadowgvt my friend please dig deeper. It absolutely is!
Over and again in multiple quality peer reviewed studies and analyses
by prominent security engineers and psychologists...

This "big tech = bad" thing isn't just some matter of sloppy marginal
opinion. It's tediously mainstream thinking now. The only real
question is what to do about it. We both know that's not easy. But at
this point attacking the premise just seems like a waste of time.

A fair place to start is here, with the "ledger of harms" [1]

on the other hand, the USA has close to 100K drug overdose deaths per year and singapore has close to none - not sure we are being very humane in the USA by allowing so many people to die from a preventable causes - maybe singapore is harsh in their methods, but maybe we should learn something.

As somebody said, we all will have our own individual and personalized content being created and streamed to us all time, so we will stop any meaningful interaction with each other.

To add to it, the footprint of carbon-based humans on environment is unsustainable and intolerable, so the biological bodies must be rationalized.
> no maid, I refuse it

I've always been against hiring people to do my chores, but eventually I can only defend this from the perspective that doing my own chores makes me a better person. (Instinctively I don't want to do it, but morally I cannot justify not doing it now.)

I don't believe that hiring servants is bad. Ultimately, it creates an opportunity for them as well.

If you have a maid and pay them well, give them better than average working conditions, and don't punish them when you have emotional problems, you give them an opportunity to grow an alternate career on the side.

If you "refuse to participate", that does not fundamentally create more equality in itself.
Redefinition of the Unit of Weight
Generative AI will create an abondance of AI frameworks and fatigue in the same way we have JS frameworks fatigue, especially when generative AI will make it so easy to produce a firehose of content to drown signal into, to give the impression that one is more used than another and therefore must be better because of social validation.

---

Also, adding AI in places where it wouldn't bring value, just to be able to say that you are using it.

The keyword itself will lose its original meaning and replace generic terms like "script".

Already yesterday I saw someone who wanted to "just use an AI" to detect when a website is down (and no, he didn't mean "use AI to write the cURL request", he thought that it can magically detect it somehow).

---

Also, the public opinion not understanding the levels of grey, that it's not merely "for AI" or "against AI" because it's like being "for hammer" or "against hammer": it's just a tool. Yes it has great potential, but what matters is how you use it, it's not magic.

And as a longer trend, it will reinforce the divide between people who blindly trust "the computer said so, therefore it must be true" (like a religion), and people who look into why the computer said so and when it would say otherwise.

Control the model and you control what people believe in.
Hello! I know the conversation about metaverse is very heated. But what are your thoughts on digital twins? Do you believe it to be a revolutionary technology experts claim for it to be?

> Who or where are these people? (For any industry / system.)

If you hear someone on a huge incident conference call leading the capturing of new information, threading their way from one subsystem to another (most of which are outside the person's usual silo) based upon what they see, paging in teams as necessary to get the answers they need, giving a blow-by-blow account of the troubleshooting picture they're currently painting, with reasoning behind what they think might be happening, how to test that, what possible next steps might be, instantly discarding anything that doesn't move everyone closer to resolution, crafting ad hoc "good enough" tooling on the spot as needed to get enough information to make a decision but not enough to know details to the last degree, freely admitting if they're on a subsystem they know nothing about yet able to quickly grasp the essentials in minutes from domain experts to work with those domain experts to pull just the information they need...you've found one of those people. Extremely rare to find in one person, usually you see 2-3 people in such incidents splitting such a dynamic.

They don't know "exactly what's going on". But they sufficiently grasp how systems work to approximate that outcome close enough for most business purposes.
I believe the reason it tends to be one video a year is because he's a comp sci PhD and does a SIGBOVIK paper every year, and makes a video out of it. The rest of the year he does serious research I guess.

This running thing was a personal project of 16 years though, so likely we'll get another SIGBOVIK type video in spring of next year?

At least in France a GP (médecin généraliste) sees people for everyday things. The "truly urgent" things are rare, this is what emergency services are for.

Yes they see "urgent" patients that happen to be painfully sick (otitis for instance) and they need to give them well know and predictable medicine (and other such "urgencies" - which I put in quotes not because they are not urgent, but because they are expected and everyday business. If you had an otitis you will know that the pain is unbearable and that you either have to see the MD quick, lose your mind of have your eardrum break).

These GPs will push you towards a specialist in case they detect something abnormal because they do not have the current knowledge to treat you correctly.

For the record - one of my best friends is a GP and their work is terrific. They are a mixture of science, magic voodoo and psychologists to actually manage the everyday health of the whole society. I truly regard them highly.

Also, the amount of hours they do is insane - way too much in my opinion and yet it is so difficult to get an appointment. They are on a strike today, the first as long as I can remember to get their regulated fee to be raised.

The cat is out of the bag on that one. Several politicians have already either returned their contributions or donated them to charity. The onus of that is all on SBF, not the receivers of the funds.

But I do agree with you on your second point. SBF could commit suicide out of fear of a long prison term or just the shame of what he has done.

DIY monitoring solution. Every service had its own way of gathering metrics that were pushed into another home-made service where it could be fetched using a half-assed query-language and rendered using, you guessed right, another home grown Javascript graphing library built with raw D3 calls. The whole thing required one full time guy just to keep it running and to tweak whenever someone needed to make a new dashboard using anything beyond the most basic queries.

Just the graphing library alone would have been worth it to buy rather than develop ourselves.

The rest, obviously Prometheus and Grafana are way easier to set up, integrates with other third tools and is much more powerful and battle proven than something developed from scratch, at no cost either.
Ask HN: Wanting to grow – what questions should you ask yourself?
If this ends up dead and nothing more than a semi-introspective rant, so be it, served its purpose.

I started programming when I was 16. I am now over twice that and still programming. I don't like the realities of day-to-day software engineering. I cannot shake the feeling that I've spent the last 16 years doing it just because of... inertia. The 16-year old me just liked to hack around, learn fast, write shoddy scripts that pushed the limits of what I knew. So I know nothing about windows internals but I'd like to write some cheats for a game I'm playing? Let's dive in. And I loved it.

But I never had any love for the "art" of programming. I can, however, say with some confidence that I have a good sense of what makes a good, clean, sustainable solution - but the answer to that question isn't even a matter of programming, but of humans and how we work, and how we use our brains. You know, it's the old "you're too dumb to debug smart code in an emergency at 2AM". This can be extended to 95% of problems in my eyes. We need to be nice to other human beings working with us - that may be other people, or even may be me, but 3 months from now, tired, trying to hit a deadline or find a bug.

I digress, but I think I'm trying to convey the point that... I never really felt at home in my job. It all seemed off. And I have trouble figuring out where the problem lies.

Have you had moments where you did a sober double take and decided to alter your course or commit to it and stay on it? Heck, maybe close the laptop altogether.

I know this topic comes up every once in a while, and the usual answer seems to be burn out, but hopefully I can put a spin on it by focusing on what questions a person can ask themselves to better figure out what they want out of their job in the short, medium and long term.

What questions would you say one can ask themselves to really get to the bottom of it?
It is oppression from those who manage money creation/destruction and control the major flows of money (real money, not virtual values from stock exchanges). Then I would use "less worse" than "so good": roughly speaking, in our "globalized" world, of course money cannot flow decently to all households only by the rule of supply and demand, that would actually be _really_ dangerous to think otherwise.

I am worried by the amount of non-pertinent/non-essential/non-efficient/(mostly "BS") "jobs" oppressing ppl out there.

During the covid pandemic, I recall the interviews of ppl "discovering" their job was non-essential.
No one seems ready to admit it but it seems to me that the biggest thing we are learning here is how little twitter matters to anyone except for a minority of people who want to shout about it.

I have a feeling Bayesian spam filters will be highly effective at picking out patterns in anything generated by a particular model. The arms race will move from spammers coming up with new templates to spammers coming up with new models.
Yep. “You’re not curating your feed” is nonsense in 2022, and it has been for years. The only platform I’ve gotten close to this on is Instagram. Facebook and Twitter both exhibit the literally cancerous property of showing you what your contacts are engaging with. Once a social network does that, it’s basically game over unless you only connect with people who are similarly disciplined, which is just…untenable.
Maybe in the UK there is more floods than other countries in Europe.
Is nginx pretty stable? Part of why I disliked Wordpress was the constant security issues. If I could patch / upgrade rarely (or automate that) paired with using static content so there’s no dependencies it could be a good solution.
Read what others are doing, especially if it seems everyone is doing something similar, but, and this is the vital part, apply critical thinking & specific knowledge of your use case. And keep an eye on new ideas that are less common, and keep in mind old ideas that are out of fashion, and apply said critical thinking to them also (or use them & lessons learned using them in the past to judge against the other/newer ideas). Basically: avoid being part of the cargo cult, except on those occasions where it actually finds the right direction.
They lost them because of massive population loss over the last few years.
The date after which I perceived a change in the coverage of Saudi Arabia in the US was September 11th, 2001, but I don't know whether the coverage changed or my awareness of it did. Similarly, that you perceive a change in coverage may reflect not an actual change but only a change in yourself: you expect bias in coverage based on national interest and you perceive national interests to have changed, so you interpret individual articles like this to reflect a change in coverage generally.

I would say it is possible, likely, that people have false impressions of the general conditions in other nations based on news organizations' choosing to cover stories that are not generally representative of conditions in the nation. This will be true for all nations, regardless of whether anyone in the organizations are choosing, consciously or unconsciously, to cover stories confirming or creating biases. I think a greater problem is our own biases and attention selecting the news coverage we attend to. I think it is not the case that bias in coverage is centrally coordinated as you imply.

This is all aside from whether a particular article is true. This is something actionable. Choosing to believe or ignore individual articles based on your prior belief in bias leaves you in a hall of mirrors.

The main difference would be that the vanilla android ui is now less responsive, the main camera is a bump in the phones back, the front camera is a hole in your screen and that the 2022 phone doesn't have a standard 3.5mm jack. The 2022 phone loses bigtime honestly.
App development has been targeting the lowest common denominator of users for a while. Basically, “free” with annoying upsells or terrible ads.

The web and app experience of today feel like I’m looking at a grocery store tabloid.

The more discerning users of technology have likely narrowed their focus to the fewer and fewer remaining high quality sites and apps available (HN included).
On the bright side, we can use this tech to keep spammy sales representatives busy for years.

The US has tried to be "harsh" on drug dealers for decades, and it hasn't really fixed a thing.

Maybe they should just stop prescribing opioids, for a start.
> The solution for all these and crypto, is education.

I disagree. Educated people still make mistakes, and still become victims of fraud or viruses. A blanket statement like "we just need to educate people" is a nice way to say "no one would have this problem if they were as smart as I am". But the reality is you're just as vulnerable to a zero day or a well-executed scam.

There are many solutions. None are perfect. If you ask me, demanding everyone never make mistakes is a very poor solution compared to using systems that have failsafes.
> "lack of any evidence of exploitability" or not detected yet?

Lack of evidence and likelihood.

This is a "vulnerable" module for interaction with paths in SVN repositories (in order to grab SVN metadata) in the utility library of a testing framework.

So the normal use case is that the "exploit" would be the repository itself, likely because your repo server has been compromised, and it would require that the test suite binds tightly to SVN for some reason.

I don't think an ReDOS in your test suite is the biggest issue you're facing if your repository has been compromised.
Valid fears but I think there are more pressing issues with AI that take precedence

AI generated content is NOT great, I don't encourage publishing them. But I encourage them being used for inspiration and getting ideas

> It is a downside of Sarbanes-Oxley because the requirements to go public were made (a) much more strenuous and expensive and (b) various senior staff (CEOs etc) were made personally criminally responsible for any accounting errors.

(a) Because companies were defrauding people in the IPOs. SOX added accounting requirements to make such fraud harder to hide.

(b) Because the senior staff/executive were often complicit in the fraud.

People act like SOX isn't necessary and/or is bad: SOX came about as a result of numerous cases of massive fraud in which the people responsible were not subject to any penalties, and got to keep the bulk of what they "earned" (the legal penalties applied to the companies, and so the investors who got screwed, then they get screwed again due to the companies they're invested in having to pay massive fines).

Anyone arguing that SOX is too strict needs to be able to enumerate the exact things that they would change that would still prevent the fraud that SOX is intended to prevent, and hold responsible those involved when the fraud is missed.
Personally I strongly doubt that "modern" thermometers are in practice more accurate than good ol' mercury ones.

The contactless infrared ones, but also the contact digital ones have been proved to provide "false measurements", the stated accuracy is usually +/- 0.2 C, but there are many (ambient) factors that may influence greatly the result, the good thing being that they are very fast.

The gallium/galistan ones (1:1 replacement for mercury ones) are often hard to read (they are almost all of the "prismatic" kind) and more often than not they simply get "stuck", and they are very, very, slow.
I was interested in the "GoPro Knockoff" mentioned in the video. It's an Akaso 5000 series. Akaso now has a 7000 model for $70. I'm very curious about this product! Not much info about storage media compatibility. Can anyone comment?

The idea seems cool but I don't understand how this is meant to be used in practice, for a beginner. As support for a structured course?
Because the market hype and competition has mostly stabilized, it used to be that in the Android world you had multiple manufacturers compete with bleeding edge tech to see who was the best.

During a time when running certain software would be a challenge for your phone or taking a picture or video would produce quite grainy quality.

Especially when even todays midtier phones can handle almost any software and produce decent quality footage.

It doesn't help that most gimmicky phones just haven't catched on, even Samsungs fold.
That’s definitely one side of the equation. There are good apps out there but the signal-to-noise ratio is terrible these days.

The other side is that the rate of change has decreased on the phones themselves. We used to get big new features, but phones have converged on what seems to be the ideal feature set (for now at least). New versions usually only see a slight camera improvement, incremental speed or battery improvements, and maybe a change in the camera notch/hole.
A Friend of a friend is a technical recruiter for SWA. They told me that SWA pays their Software Engineers below market salaries. They complained that because of that, its hard to recruit people, and they end up with mediocre developers.
I never interacted with systems older than a 286 but I'm actually curios about them.
Maybe you could "lease" these computer, by virtualizing the keyboard input and stream the screen back via a simple webcam, some curios and universities could rent them for education purposes.
Still I can't see any decent revenue, let alone driving a business.
They're appliances. You use them to access the same websites and apps, with only marginal usability improvements and occasional regressions.

Perhaps it's more than that. The increments are smaller and more frequent. Paradigm shifts are less common.

Technology feels a lot more exploitative too. Getting a gadget is no longer a one-way trade. You get a feature in return for something that isn't your money.

You don't wait for months and read all the reviews before something comes out. You don't even leave the house to check it out and order it. You just watch a few videos and have it delivered to your door. Getting something is such a non-event these days.

It’s not like there isn’t some kind of middle ground - germany has about 1000 drug overdoses per year and we managed to get there without hanging people. Portugal, a country that has decriminalized drug consumption in 2001 has even better numbers, much lower than most other European countries.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/911927/drug-overdose-dea...

Tackling drug overdoses by hanging dealers doesn’t even try to address the underlying issues that cause drug usage and overdoses.
