> She's giving fashion advice, not creating legislation. I'm sure you understand the difference.

There is no “legislation.” It’s the Missouri legislature’s rules for what its members wear in the legislature while doing official business.

The distinction between “fashion advice” and dress codes in a government body isn’t significant here. If it is uncontroversial in the US and most other places that a government institution can have a dress code that requires “professional” attire when doing business inside that body. Nobody doubts that the Missouri House can have some sort of dress code.

So I took your comment to mean that only people like the Taliban think that bare arms is unprofessional. But from the article it seems to be the case that Europeans also consider bare arms to be unprofessional.

If you meant to attack the concept of mandatory dress codes generally, well then you’re tilting at windmills. It’s not just the Taliban that believe that a government body can tell its members what to wear during official business.

Quit vs laid off seems like a reasonable thing to push back on in that contract, wonder if they’d be open to that sort of thing.
US government built it, a US company runs it, and US law applies to it.

It’s silly to complain that US companies and US-focused sites shouldn’t use it.
It would have figured out that they are quite heavy.
"Reasonable" is not a term that can be associated with American politics.

For perspective, Netflix spent $18 billion on content production in 2022 and $17 billion the year prior. [0]

Looks like Netflix's largest production location is 300 acres in New Mexico (slightly larger than this new location).

Interesting that they chose the tristate area which, in general, tends to be more expensive than places like New Mexico (construction, wages, cost of living, etc).

I think a lot of people can understand simple statements in math such as Fermat’s Last Theorem or the Collatz Conjecture but proving them is an entirely different matter. While it may be the case that proving some statements is sufficient to understanding them, I would say it’s never necessary.
Ask HN: Should We Embrace OpenAI/ChatGPT for Everything?
Over the past 12 months, OpenAI has made me a 10x engineer; I can do tasks 10x faster than I would before. With that being said, this is a terrifying behavior meaning that previously I could have hired nine other people (realistically one or two) to do what OpenAI helped me do at the same speed; this brings me to my next point.

Should you give OpenAI access to data that one or two employees would have gotten to perform their tasks? Am I potentially helping train the AI to destroy my company in the future? Or should I build my models using our large dataset and some data from OpenAI?

Extra context: some data could include tracked customer behaviors, past resolutions, and results.
What is an example of a workload on a smartphone that doesn’t handle PII?
We had an interesting incident where one of our datacenter temperature sensors kept on rising, and operators on site could clearly hear the noise increase of all servers going to max fan speed following a BMC "crash" triggered by a network loop on our IPMI lan.

It took us a while to identify the issue and all systems were running fine, but we had to shut down many racks to avoid the temperature to rise too high.
> If you believe that there is clearly such a thing as 'non productive assets', for example, pure real estate speculation, then it's the fault of those speculators for the speculating, not the banks.

It doesnt matter whose responsibility is it if it screws up the entire economy. Breaking everything for everyone is not something that should be allowed regardless of justification.
because we're better than that. I'm saying this from inside the USA, mind you. It cheapens our interactions here to be the same bland boringness of big box stores and strip malls of America. do you fly to Vegas or Boston or New York, just to visit their Best Buy? There's interesting things within - there's many an article about the intricacies of 401ks - but to hear from outside about a totally different system and how it works?

> The formal verification wasn't wrong, just incomplete, because modeling complex systems is inherently an intractable problem.

I’m not involved in this kind of research or low level auditing, but I have some mathematical training and fascination with the idea of formal verification.

I ran across this thing called “K-Framework” that seems to have invested a lot in making formal semantics approachable (to the extent that’s possible). It’s striving to bridge that gap between academia and practicality, and the creator seems to really “get” both the academic and practical challenges of something like that.

Here’s a brief overview of one of the features that seems most impressive/useful: https://youtu.be/x_xm69gd3fE

The clarity of Grigore’s explanations and the quality of what I’ve found here: https://kframework.org/ makes me think K has a lot of potential, but again, this is not my direct area of expertise, and I haven’t been able to justify a deep dive to judge beyond impressions.

You’re correct in pointing out that complex systems are inevitably difficult to verify, but I think stuff like K could help provably minimize surface area a lot.
I'd be somewhat surprised if Netflix didn't establish a private shuttle from the Highlands Ferry to Fort Monmouth.
No problem try to make resolv.conf immutable with:

Not even root can then change it without removing the attribute (-i)

However HIDS are really nice to detect stuff like that...and they are not that complicated (OSSEC or samhain)
What will be interesting is whether we will soon have a model that can actually follow these steps.
Also places with real pensions have similar vestment periods for the pensions, leave before then and you typically get your contributions back but certainly not the employer’s. Though those are rare outside government work in the US anymore.
Is it? I would argue if you have live data in some large amount, you’re not going to be keeping that in sync with your dev environment (and it should be sanitized, which has its own fun oddities at times). I would also argue that your staging environment probably isn’t running the same hardware specs as live. Inevitably you’ll find race conditions, odd data structures and other fun things which simply aren’t apparent on systems prior to live.
As others have said, this strikes me as a multi-faceted problem.

It's possible Google devalues those sharing (even inadvertently!) GA tags in the rankings, although I don't think there's been any public proclamations from Google on that. But if that were the sole culprit, only your GA instance would reflect that. The fact that you're losing real traffic (as reflected in what the 3rd party tools are telling you) makes me think that's probably not the case/or at least the only thing that's happening.

Not implementing re-directs would also definitely be a culprit. But if it's just images you failed to re-direct, that's likely not the main thing either unless you were getting a majority of your traffic from Google Images.

Since this happened post-Core Update, I would want to know two things:

1. What keywords dropped and what replaced you
2. Whether the drop was site-wide or isolated to individual categories or groups of pages.

Regarding #1: Was what replaced you a big, high authority publisher? Or was the content simply more comprehensive or otherwise a better match for the user's intent? Very likely could be E-E-A-T-related, in terms of the algos determining that you don't have the authority/expertise to rank for what you were ranking for previously.

Investigate those possibilities first and you should be able to better map out a plan for re-gaining that traffic.
I don't think that would be true seeing 1/3 = 0.3333.. , or am I reading this wrong?
In general these public salaries are not average over the whole company (which would be very heavily skewed by the executives’s salaries), but for a title or department. With that in mind, wouldn’t it make more sense to give the Nx engineer a different title to reflect that they are, in fact, more productive? As you move higher up you are expected to have more impact, which is what the Nx engineer should have.
And yet law enforcement seems to be able to open up Android phones without issue, but has problems with iPhones. Is this still the case?
A big part of the problem is that you have to be "in" the system to even get a job (and welfare in the countries that have it).

You MUST have an address to write on the forms, you must have a phone number. For a job you'll need to have a shower, clothes, transport, etc.

Indeed you can. I've had similar issues before (a site scraping content, though apparently from dev.to instead of my own domain and a YouTube channel making a 'video' with text and TTS from a post).

In the first case, I sent a DMCA to Google & Bing as well as to Cloudflare. Cloudflare responds by giving the name of the actual host, and I sent another DMCA to that host (they were US based, otherwise YMMV). The content was delisted (not the site, even though it was made up entirely of verbatim scraped content) from search engines and from the site.

Bottom line is you can send a DMCA notice to search engines and it appears to be effective. Actually, in case search engines demote sites like this in some way, I would send the DMCA notice to search engines _first_, because if the content gets removed from the original site they may not be able to verify the duplicate content.
I haven't tried to alter my personality, but I've tried to intentionally act different in certain social situations by adopting kind of a trolling mindset and pretending I was playing a character.

Maybe you get better at being more naturally outgoing with a bit of indirect practice.
This is right next to the wife’s hometown. People are very excited. The nearby Monmouth Racetrack has been in decline for a long time, and it has impacted local tax revenue. Only getting worse with online sports betting.

Why? The comment says they work at Stripe and live in Ireland, and they're just relaying factual information.

This is why I'm so wary of "tech press" news like this. Having a vesting schedule for employer contributions is pretty standard for a lot of countries, not just Ireland. So this has been going on for literally decades, all across the world, but it's only when a tech company does it that it is framed as "clawing back pension contributions".

I'm not saying this doesn't suck for employees or shouldn't be legally changed, but why are people OK with this practice for literally decades until a tech unicorn does it?
https://blog.sonatype.com/malware-removed-from-maven-central

"Unlike most other open source software component ecosystems, Maven is built upon a strong namespacing concept that requires that every artifact be addressed using (minimally) a three part coordinate: Group ID : Artifact ID : Version. Group IDs follow the Java Package convention which is the reverse of a development team’s DNS. For example, all Apache Software Foundation artifacts have org.apache as the start of their Group ID. Org.apache.maven is Maven, org.apache.struts is Struts etc."
Yeah. So what? Wyoming is a state with a shrinking population, whose 581,000 residents represent 0.17% of the US population. Laws passed there will have a vanishingly small impact on the manufacturing decisions of any major auto company.

There are many surveys out there. California generally competes with Illinois and New Jersey as the most hated state and the most dysfunctional state.

For example, https://www.cagrocers.com/california-repeats-worst-run-state...

It has a broad reputation for dysfunction in basically every area. Energy -- it imports 20% of its electricity from the rest of the nation's grid to get around wacky anti-carbon rules for domestically produced energy, and as a result has the highest energy costs in the nation as well as suffering from rolling blackouts. It is the state of constant fires because of forest mismanagement due to a politically influential "don't chop down our precious trees" faction. (California's chronic fires are also blamed on global warming). It has one of the worst education systems and a truly insane educational policy ("we will create 5 million Galois' by eliminating math classes!"). Terrible homeless problem. Terrible crime problem. A shrinking population. Massively dysfunctional housing market. And one of the highest tax burdens. Massive infrastructure problems.

Etc.

It's really hard to think of any area of public policy - from tax policy to education to energy or crime -- and say "Hey, what California is doing is working really well, we should emulate that". Just compare how California stood in areas like test scores, crime, housing affordability, energy prices in 1970 versus 1990 versus today. You see a peak and then a decline followed by collapse.

For someone versant with the technology, the question itself is irrational. Plenty of stuff can be delivered without user interaction or with deceptive interaction.

"Avoid malware" is so innocent it almost makes me cry. The operationalized embodiment of this genuflection would be some appreciable amount of stuff will not be installed on my machine (some other way) if I don't click. It says nothing of malware which is installed on the site you're visiting or that won't be delivered some other way, but maybe that's of no concern to you. The question is: will you click on the (legitimate dialogue, maybe?) prompt (if there is one) warning you about installing something? Please decide how you will rationalize your behavior: 1) I thought it was a link on the web site; 2) I have antivirus software; 3) experts on HN said clicking / not clicking has no appreciable effect.

Let's have fun with this: that popup from your bank's site which just showed up in front of that pr0n you were watching, ordering you to check your account immediately because an unauthorized transfer has been detected? Definitely legit. You should click that. Oh yeah, definitely. It's absolutely your bank, and my name is Danny Flanagan.

You definitely should take mitigation measures, and you should be inside that OODA see -> click loop.

I know Lee. I also have close friends and ex-colleagues of mine who work at the New America Foundation. Ironically, they also lobby and help write legislation (by your definition).

For example, a lot of the current anti-trust bills coming in the House and separately being spearheaded by Lina Khan in the FTC are directly out of the work the New America Foundation did (I 100% support their cause btw - this statement isn't trying to tar and smear them).

There is stuff to complain about how lobbying is managed in the US, but the take in this entire thread is off and arguing something entirely tangential.

It's lack of training I think. A good engineer should think about the consequences of her actions. People in the industry, it seems, just don't. Very disappointing.

You do realize that censoring a word in such a way as to not hide what the term is makes no difference? Not to single you out or anything, I see it a lot, but I am curious what you think it accomplishes.

I get their argument on the basis of the idea. But I think it's not valid when you apply the scale of the stable diffusion model. They show a case of a simple spiral and that the technology can create a similar looking spiral calling it a copy. But when you factor in the billions of trained images, the amount of specific information from all of these sources is like 1 byte.

They are going to have to show that the model copies ALL source images with perfect retention, and they are 100 percent full of shit if they think they can demonstrate that. What you may find is that some models out there are heavily biased on source images and can produce some outputs that are too similar to original works, in that case, there may be an issue.
Is there a precedent for something like this?

Genuinely curious if there are any examples for large scale reparations such as Jews post WW2 or Armenians post-genocide or Cambodian people post-Khmer Rouge.
Ask HN: How do you choose your usernames?
Basically the title. Every time I want to sign up for websites, the hardest and most time consuming part is choosing the username. I just never got why some people add seemingly random numbers in the end. I've always wanted the username to mean something or be special in a way. There have been times when I spent almost half an hour trying to come up with a better username, esp. on websites that don't allow you to change the username in the future.

How do you come up with your usernames? And is it really important in this day and age?

I'm quite insistent that the best way to explain why something that economists believe is a fallacy isn't a fallacy is to explain why it isn't fallacy, yes.

Sorry kid, you haven't killed a field of economic study by saying "straw man" and "propaganda". The only thing that's dead was my hope that you had enough understanding of the topic to at least attempt adult discussion.

I'll leave you to have the last word. It's obvious this matters to you more than understanding.
This article doesn't say, but vertical farms almost always grow hydroponically, using sterilized inert media (like coir) or inherently sterile inert media (like rockwool). The water and fertilizer are delivered together by drip irrigation. Some farms may instead use no medium at all, like in NFT or DWC. With precise control over the plant nutrition, this can achieve higher yields per square foot than soil, making optimal use of the expensive indoor space. (I think grains are particularly unsuitable crops though, per my other comments here.)

In theory it's possible to run completely free of insects, with cleanroom-like precautions, and I think some facilities do. I think it's more common to live with some level of insect pests though, since it's so hard to avoid introductions and so destructive when they occur--with no natural predators, they can multiply far faster than in nature. That implies some level of pesticides, deliberately introduced predatory insects (which are particularly effective indoors, since they can't fly away), etc.

They founders took responsibility and cut their salary so you could stay? They said they took responsibility took the credit for tough choices and fired you. Now you have 16 weeks / 4 months to get another position when no one is hiring and interviews take 2 months on average before the offer is pulled.

Depending on employees age, length of employment 16 weeks can be an extremely low amount and the courts could get a higher settlement.
Datacenter / Cloud Service hardware is a race to the bottom, we want simplicity and ability to work with off-the-shelf and widely available tools (Redfish (cURL), IPMI (freeipmi, openipmi, ipmitool)) so we can integrate these things into our hardware management platforms.

In this world, the legacy vendors like Dell and HP feel like they have to differentiate their hardware somehow, or they lose all the margin. So they'll charge you for all those "value-add" things like KVM or OOB Firmware Updates, because they can't make money on the machines themselves anymore.

The irony is all that extra garbage they add to their servers is exactly the opposite of what you want at high scale and really only serves the "enterprise" market that tends to deploy VMware and hand-manage servers and need point-and-click stuff since there's no incentive to write software to manage small environments like that.
