During COVID I was in Mexico. At some point I wanted to go horseback riding. I was researching places to go horseback riding and I was not at all surprised to see I would have to make some calls to book.

Fast-forward a few weeks, I become pretty good friends with the owner at the ranch I went to. We grab tacos one night and he shares his concerns: They're not doing so well financially and are worried about whether or not they'll be able to afford feed in a month.

I got involved and we solved that problem and a few more: revamped the website (it looked and felt like it was from 2006), I whipped up a booking/reservation system to get more customers through the door, and exit surveys to make sure everything was perfect (and figure out what went wrong if it wasn't).

Bookings this month are up 490% from 2018 (according to the paper waivers they had) and that's without a single dollar spent in paid marketing. I answer a few emails every day from prospective riders and make sure everyone's happy. I get a percentage of each reservation which is cool, but the coolest part is that I get to say I am a co-owner in a Mexican horse ranch.

In case of google and other faangs this was easily achieved by just not giving annual bonuses that are 10-20% and are explicitly not guaranteed. For top performers you can still give bonuses just not as large

I prefer to wear a tin foil suit thank you.
I've been working on a web framework in Ruby. It's inspired by all the JS frameworks, but uses Haml instead of JSX and all code is executed on the server, and patches are streamed to the browser.

I'm about to run out of money so I'm planning to move to the Amazon rainforest where money will last longer...
Are you prettiet then Simon and a smoother talker?

It's a crowded competitive market. The content has always been the easiest part.
Thank you for your thoughts. Since the app itself doesn't have users yet I think it might be overkill to start discussing the configuration on its own git repo! However I will take everything you wrote into consideration and I appreciate the time you took to respond. I especially liked the clarification about screen space, which I'll use to ensure I don't nest things more than 1 max 2 levels.

By the way, although it is too much to open a repo for it, what do you think about this UML for how I structure the parts of the application?

https://imgur.com/a/FUTphwa

(I already have the parts working.) The user talks to the voice recognition engine which is a subprocess of the voice recognition server. In terms of what to do (actions to take) the voice recognition takes configuration files and dispatches scripts. To give feedback to the user the voice recognition server also communicates via a web interface. (i.e. the user could have this web interface open and see what actions the home automation server is taking, which scripts have been launched etc.)

Do you think this structure is all right for a configurable voice recognition automation server app?
This was just one tiny EU research project with limited funding, which was focused only on passive attacks, e.g. a receiver with custom firmware can make inferences from existing Wi-Fi routers. Their research was looking for a way to modify the default behavior of Wi-Fi transmitters to reduce leakage of location information. If this was the default behavior (e.g. via some combination of IEEE standard and regulation), then active attackers could be easily identified.

https://ans.unibs.it/projects/csi-murder/

> this paper addressed passive attacks, where the attacker controls only a receiver, but exploits the normal Wi-Fi traffic. In this case, the only useful traffic for the attacker comes from transmitters that are perfectly fixed and whose position is well known and stable, so that the NN can be trained in advance, thus the obfuscator needs to be installed only in APs or similar ‘infrastructure’ devices. Active attacks, where the attacker controls both the transmitter and the receiver are another very interesting research area, where, however, privacy protection cannot be based on randomization at the transmitter.

More research and funding is needed.

Awesome work! Would you mind sharing? I live in Mexico City and would love to try horse back riding.
This seems like a moon landing without the fanfare. I’m shocked this is possible.
Given that the entire constructor call stack is known at compile time, it should be possible to use static analysis to detect if fields are used before initialization. Swift does this, I believe.
I would take a wild guess that it wouldn't be jamming, but some sort of network configuration. Maybe something like extra access points with specific geometry, higher power exterior APs than interior APs, or random beam forming or reflections.

Jamming could still be an option. Most devices are required to accept any interference from other lawful devices. So in theory, you could find legal ways of jamming.

I've been using "AI is algorithmic slight of hand."
It’s not when the context of “all along” is in question. Someone is accusing this person of changing their tone only because it’s convenient and TFA is that supposed change in tone.
> Do you have any examples? AFAIK properly tuned rust and c++ will perform largely the same.

In principle, Rust has some overhead for being "safe", which C++ does not. Also, C++ benefits for longer period of time and more people working on optimizing its libraries and compilers.

> Are you talking for computational chemistry specifically or general libraries?

Ah, indeed, no. I have no idea which chemistry libraries are available for Rust and for C++. I was referring to scientific computing, algebra and other heavy-lifting work.

> Additionally, “cargo add xxx” is infinitely faster than integrating some random third party c++ dependency.

That's not one of OP's criteria. But - seeing how you like package managers, try `conan install /path/to/srcdir` from the build directory. For more details, read:

https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/getting_started.html

> Not to mention that C++ falls on the floor if one dependency requires transitive dependency X and another (or you) requires X at an incompatible version?

C++ is a language, it doesn't have dependency management. As for libraries, that situation is so rare - in my experience - that a chemistry person should not even be bothered to consider it.

> haven’t that found to be my experience.

Well, I learned something new today... I didn't know about rustup. Was it introduced recently?
Interesting. Can you give us the methodology behind your probability numbers?
> (1) Does anyone have a privacy-respecting alternative to Privacy.com's virtual credit cards?

Capital One offers virtual cards through Eno (https://www.capitalone.com/digital/eno/virtual-card-numbers/) that are merchant locked. They make it somewhat cumbersome to use, but I've really enjoyed using them.

It doesn't block wall street knowing about what you're buying, but at least it's likely got one (or more) fewer middlemen looking at all your transactions.
Probably not when op was in high school, if they were still using books over web tools. I'm guessing before 2004? How old is google scholar?
One of the many reasons to prefer static factories to constructors.
And a plausible way for them — on either team — to take over completely. Both treating us not even as pets but as grass. In this analogy the good AI are gardeners, the bad AI are cow farmers.

Stating that an electric bill is 40% delivery charges and fees isn't an argument. Nor is taking one very small part of the infrastructure, making the claim that small part will go up because "insert ecoterrorist conspiracy theory here and use buzzword like reichstagg" useful.

There is barely money to rebuild the grid green, and half of the culture war people that you accuse me of being say there isn't even that. There isn't money to protect against non-conspiracy events like massive solar flares. There simply isn't money to protect against terrorism.

Spending money to protect against terror attacks that are rag tag Goonies and can be dealt with by life sentences and cameras is not going to happen. There are many many other SYSTEMIC dangers that take precedence, like solar flares and overcapacity. The only systemic issue that terrorists can influence is hack attacks. And those don't require guards or physical barriers. They require cyber warfare, minimal physical hardening, and already existing and paid for by government spy networks.

In other words, security costs are not going to be the driver of high energy prices. Investing in green infrastructure to burn clean natural gas to get 60% efficiency, degraded by about 10% for transmission and 10% for battery storage (60.9.9) in order to replace ICE engines is the driver of costs with government mandated new EV sales requirements.

With everyone switching to EVs, batteries will become a necessary part of the cost of electricity in the future as well, and even if the cost of manufacturing drops, the price of investing in the raw materials will increase until miracle battery tech comes out, or Elon mines an asteroid.

We are fast entering a world where generation costs are going to skyrocket, and batteries manufacture and recycle costs will drop to unimaginably low levels, whereby the end result is batteries are for the rich and middle class and considered an investment as the materials inside are precious, and useable forever with a recycling and rebuilding phase every X years.

I expect to be investing $50,000 to $100,000 in battery storage within a generation (25 years) as the only viable cost saving measure available to consumers is to treat energy like stocks and buy low, evening out demand and creating a win win.

But the era of cheap energy is over. If I consume 500kwh a month for $100, and 3000km of driving at a cost of $300 gas money, that's $5000 a year.

I'm expecting to pay $15000 a year for that same benefit in the near future, with an investment of $75000 in batteries being able to drop that cost to $10000 a year. More renewables = more savings because more price fluctuations.

What isn't going to make a blip on those calculations is infrastructure hardening against terrorists because its dirt cheap to just lock them up, throw away the key, and repair the damage.
One easy to deal with blatant cheating is to have sone writing done in class and a grader can compare their out of class essays with in class. It should be straightforward to determine obvious cheaters or those that need to cheat.

It wouldn't be too hard to program at least gpt3 to basically take a chatGPT answer, go to google, scrape results and verify if the chatGPT answer was factual or not and maybe give it a score or rating of factual-ness.
This Court case largely isn't about that; the protections for moderation Section 230 grants are largely not in question here.

The question is whether an automated algorithm is protected by 230 in the same sense that manual moderation is. To the extent this might impact HN, it'd be more along the lines of "HN weights stories too heavily by (upvotes, time of post, some other metric) and as a result harm has occurred."
Yes, it took me some thinking but it's the conclusion I arrived at as well; the password is useless because as soon as somebody or something can run a bad process it's game over, first of all because all the files I really care about are owned by and writeable by me, and secondly because the bad process can just mess with .bashrc and get root access later. About the only benefit I could think of is slowing down an opportunistic attacker that finds my device unlocked, but even that could be game over with a quick `curl ... | bash` if the attacker is prepared enough. 'Security theater' was my conclusion as well, and I was surprised by it, why is everybody doing this?
Totally agree, and I also love that so much thought and consideration goes into how the platform gets improved over time. Doing it "right" means taking so many things into account -- many of which are subtle -- and picking the right tradeoffs. Hats off to the people quietly doing the deep work which makes everyone's lives better.
I never understood the impedance mismatch jargon. It still is unintuitive to me.
This is quite a statement. How do you suppose these anatomically modern humans would have made group decisions? Mind control by a warrior king?
Undocumented downside:

Java becomes a slightly harder language to learn, because now there is one more thing to explain to a beginner: "Where exactly should super() be put in the constructor? At the start, in the middle, or at the end? What are the benefits and downsides of each, and when does it matter? Is there a convention?"
You may be working with people who, at the beginning of their careers, worked on exciting and challenging projects as junior engineers for U.S. defense contractors to either detect the precise location of specific Wi-Fi clients.

Ask them when they realized that their work was extensible to any radio frequency client (cell, Bluetooth) and used for targetting missile strikes. I can guarantee you know at least a few people in the industry who did.

Just because we can doesn't mean we should. This story reeks of DoD funded research which somehow gets whitewashed as "cool new tech thing!" on tech blogs when it should really be sending chills down your collective spines.

This capability may be fringe and nation-state controlled for a few years, then it will inevitably fall into the hands of large and well-funded criminal organizations, abusive spouses, and of course overfunded trigger happy SWAT teams — who will still manage to get their court order addresses wrong and kill innocent people and pets over a no-knock warrant.

All this triggers in me is the irrespressible urge to get technologists to finally get it through their thick skulls that what we do does kill people exactly like doctors. We've just refuse to take responsibility for it when any other industry would have seriously discussed ethics board and licensure at this point. No matter how complicated such an effort would be.

>...there is MDC which is outdated...

My understanding is that the current authenticated mode (what I like to call OCFB-MDC for OpenPGP Cipher Feed Back, Modification Detection Code) is secure. There is no evidence that the proposed authenticated modes are any better, other than perhaps for higher performance in the case of OCB mode. I wrote a rambling editorial about the idea that the current mode should be replaced:

Many minors do not feel safe telling their parents that they are transgender, and many of them are in actual fact not safe to tell their parents. It is simply indisputable that a policy of mandatory reporting for transgender minors will lead to many of these children being abused by their parents.
Meaning a critique of capitalism/neoliberalism and hierarchical societies as an inevitable outcome of civilization progressing. So basically, there's other ways to arrange societies, both politically and economically, because pre-historic people did that, and our current global civilization is just one way, that came about because things went a certain way (contingent), but they could have gone other ways.

Therefore, we should reconsider the current setup in favor of alternative models.
it's really annoying when you want to subclass something but do a transformation, logic or validation on the arguments that are to be passed through to the super class, because you can't put any code prior to the this() or super() call to do that. In practice it means people stuff all kinds of awkward expressions inside the this() or super() which get very ugly, or are forced to move these out into ancilliary methods which has other drawbacks.
It sounds like she found a copy, but has no ability to modify it if anyone else was wondering.

Possibly more interesting was that she found another server containing employee passport information including passport numbers, although I'm not sure what you would do with that

The problem lies with AI artists wanting copyright for me but not for thee.
There isn't a standard, each cloud tries to lock in engineers to it, so they don't compete on price. Any abstraction that is build on top of the different APIs will leak as the implementations are not exactly the same. That is why tools like Terraform just provide a consistent way of working, but then you steel need to learn their APIs as Terraform providers. I think tools like https://jclouds.apache.org/ have attempted some abstraction, but they also have to allow vendor-specific code, so I don't know how much of it ends up being used.

One way you can avoid this problem is by running Kubernetes - then you need to only have code to set it up for each provider and write k8s config that is common to all. Kubernetes is pretty complex though and might not be a good fit for all applications.

The simple satisfaction of successfully installing software from a stack of magnetic disks is part of what made computers fun back in the day. I remember installing software I didn't even want just because I enjoyed the process and the sounds the drives made.
This.

Profit per employee is still high. Revenue per employee hired might be lower after the hiring spree, but the total revenue is still higher. Pay that back w/o culling the herd.

The other option is forming a coop like Igalia or moving to a democratically run organization. I say this not not to stoke a needless discussion, but corporations are fascist cabals. Employees are tools that are on the out-group and nothing more.
Stopping exactly when it says is key for me, it's easier to go back to something that is in progress rather than returning to something that isn't already in my mind.

I also prefer a physical timer, there is something nice about it being a separate tangible item that's not a window on the very work space that I'm using.
None of this “AI” is actually AI. When we do finally meet one, we’ll probably be its gut bacteria.
I have that kind of cushion and I am considering taking a few months off working on side projects. But 1-3 years? I would need a very, very, very solid project to consider doing that!
All these layoffs to me personally seem just an accelerated and highly opportunistic cull of people in the bottom of stack ranking.

Of course they still do it, of course they will use this golden opportunity to improve what they think of as "health" of the organization.

Yes, they probably overhired during the pandemic, but people laid off will not necessarily be the same ones.

Looking through HN posts over the last 30 days there are at least 15 posts for symantic search. I'm excited about the prospect but haven't seen good results.

If I heard a company lays people off by locking them out instead of actually telling them to their faces first (I’m assuming meaning they don’t even trust you enough not to steal information or sabotage after being fired?) then I’d make a mental note not to apply for a job there, ever.

Was it always like this or is this a new phenomenon? I haven’t heard about anyone being locked out before hearing they are getting laid off, unless there was serious wrongdoing. But I’m not in the US.
The only pictures of realism google image search for “art” in the top ten is the Mona Lisa, The Birth of Venus by Botticelli, and the Consequenses of War by Rubens slightly out of the 15.

So to answer your question it’s 3/10 are impressionist. 4 if you have a liberal definition of Impressionism and include the skeleton.
As someone who has been using Java since 1.0, I welcome these little improvements but agree that the language is now a mess for a beginner. All of the little rules and corners make sense to someone who learned them gradually. To a beginner, they must seem nonsensical and intimidating.
