Ding, ding, ding! This is correct. I was just ranting to my wife about this. Haha.

I always wonder, “How are these random companies able to convince folks to just give them personal data like that?” And of course, I already know the answer: Practically speaking, most folks don’t give a damn about their data! That’s unfortunate. (Well, not so unfortunate for the companies collecting all of it and their data brokers!)
You likely know of Lex Fridman and many of his older podcasts really interview people you might not normally see in the "mainstream". Many of those people were especially leaning towards CS and would likely appeal to you, my fellow HNer :)
CVE-2022-47949

A bunch of first-party Nintendo Switch, Wii U, and 3DS games had a buffer overflow bug in a shared netcode library ("enl") which can be exploited by a remote attacker just by connecting to them in online play.

Affected titles included Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon, Splatoon 2, Splatoon 3, ARMS, Super Mario Maker 2, and Nintendo Switch Sports. (The Wii U games remain unpatched.)
This is great. I very recently looked into getting the Sims 2 and found this:

Still working on getting it (or a similar release) working in a Wineskin for macOS. But it works great on Windows 10.
Time is proving him right, and you wrong. And I sincerely hope that I'm wrong about this.
I just started releasing episodes I recorded the past 3 months. I am excited to finally get some personal interests out there for the world to enjoy! ListenNotes microfeed tool was slick to setup and use to publish. I've had a lot of fun learning everything it takes to make a show.

Of particular interest to this crowd E1 with Ange Yaghi & Engine Simulator just released last Wednesday and we talk about it going viral along with some of the technical details.

If hn became a live chat site, I might stop using it. I have enough things yanking at my attention already, speaking for myself
In the first attempt, the preinit loader used a negative system-call return value to carry an error-return code. This was convenient, but doing so ruins portability because POSIX-compliant programs have to retrieve the error code from the global errno variable, and only expect system calls to return -1 on error. (I personally think that this original design is a mistake that complicates everything but it's not going to change and we have to adapt to it).

The -1 for "an error occurred" has always seemed like an oddity to me too, especially when the kernel itself already uses the negative range for distinguishing between different errors. It's especially problematic in the common use-case of cleaning up after a system call before determining whether an error occurred, because instead of simply doing this...

ret = some_syscall(...);
...do some cleanup...
if(ret < 0) { ...error case... }

...it also requires that you store errno if the cleanup code may change it (and if you always do that, then it's wasted in the non-error case.) I've seen more than one instance where the authors of an application/library decided to add another wrapper on top of the POSIX ones to essentially "undo" this stupidity by making their wrapped calls return a negatively-biased errno.
This sounds like literal paradise.

I don’t know how to cultivate this kind of community. It’s not something I grew up with. I moved around a lot, and have recently realized that post-Covid I have nearly no friends.

While I don’t miss commuting, or open offices, I do deeply miss the sense of community that used to exist in the tier 1 tech cities.
This is the land of software engineers, risk takers, and gray areas. Never put in what you can't lose, and diversify. You aren't getting these insane APYs risk-free - this is kooki stuff. But if you want to dabble, it's quite interesting.
I built Tax Loss Harvesting Tool for different kinds of portfolios. Despite still being in the early stages, I'm gaining some interesting traction so far! I was badly hit in the recent market downturn because I had invested in leveraged ETFs without a deep understanding of how they function. But I still have faith in securities in the ETFs so I decided to see if it was possible to swap securities in order to harvest losses without triggering the Wash Sale. And, Lo and Behold, for 2330 ETFs, I found 1.2+M possible combinations.

OWASP Juice Shop is probably the most modern and sophisticated insecure web application! It can be used in security trainings, awareness demos, CTFs and as a guinea pig for security tools! Juice Shop encompasses vulnerabilities from the entire OWASP Top Ten along with many other security flaws found in real-world applications!

Juice Shop is written in Node.js, Express and Angular. It was the first application written entirely in JavaScript listed in the OWASP VWA Directory.
The fear is a lot deeper than quality of chat GPT's results for now.

Google is afraid that ads driven business models might get dislodged for "give me a service and I will pay you money for that" model. That will be a nail in the coffin. Imagine someone brings a marginally better conversational search engine with a low enough subscription price that some people migrate to use it rather than ad infested, SEO driven web results.

Also, with benefit of hindsight, Microsoft seems to be planning to attack Google from the flanks.. competition on a different business model than a better ad driven engine.

Sundar isn't exceptionally promising is spot on. We have so many cases of small business people being locked out of their accounts etc. They seemed to have preferred being a cool engineering company, not a B2B product company that other businesses can trust.

It is probably incorrect question to ask, but do some Google employees anonymously feel that lot of culture wars waged within company (Damore episode, the fights of ethics AI team with leadership) have caused the company to loose focus? I'm not disregarding moralities of the positions, just thinking if it was the case that many senior executives have to spend time firefighting company image in media due to these episodes.
>Google would also be forced to allow access to the Play Store on Android “forks,” heavily customized versions of the platform.

I wonder how such requirements would affect certain apps, say banking apps, that need hw attestation or similar things.
You must have missed the point.

If the goal is to reduce abortions, then the pro-life strategy is less effective than pro-choice.
Considering what happened in 2020, I'll submit that a comparison of 2020 and 2022 doesn't necessarily tell us much about podcasting, per se. At least show me 2019, too, and then we can start hypothesizing.
This is very true.

I was shocked at how much I needed to have in place to record, to get listed on the major players (and Google took DAYS to publish my show but Spotify and Apple did it within hours).
But they also laid off plenty of young and new people...
Wanted to join the chorus of nostalgic thank yous! I played the original for hours with my buddies on library computers in grade school. Definitely some core memories. Thanks!
The best part of the old HP calculators are those lovely buttons.
That’s the wrong question to be asking. It pre-supposes that the “participated in” phrasing is accurate, when “actively fought against” would be more accurate.
This is one that you can actually get a lot better mileage by introducing a new state machine, oddly. You have the states A and B, but you also have the state machine for the transition that is T1, T2, and T3. In this world, you have 5 things you need to be able to render/model. A, B, T1, T2, and T3. That the T things will be modeled/rendered inside either A or B can usually be irrelevant.

Even better, if you picked the right abstraction for the T state machine, that same set of modeling can be used elsewhere. (Note, no panacea. You can still pick the wrong abstractions here. Or one that just doesn't help you later, even if it isn't wrong.)

And this is exactly how it is in the physical world. The "payment acceptor" state machine of a vending machine is independent of the vending aspect of the vending machine. It is there solely to create the signal of "payment received" to the machine. Whether that comes from coins, credit cards, phone taps, whatever.
How "mass" are we talking? UK's CCTV seems reasonable. Just on the streets. Don't need people watching what I'm doing in my own home.
With "conceive" (when used as a transitive verb), the subject is the parent(s) and the object is the child. There's potential for confusion because of some ambiguity but the only reading that makes sense in the context is the one intended by the author. IMO the grammar is not bad.
bail off to... where? Every single big tech has done layoff except Apple. Which fair you could go to Apple but then you have to deal with Cupertino and inflated bay area housing.
South Australia’s incredible week: 104.1 per cent wind and solar over seven days

https://reneweconomy.com.au/south-australias-incredible-week...

South Australia aims to reach 100 per cent “net renewables” within a few years – over a full year – but in the past week it has already done better than that.

It would appear they are aiming to export excess renewable power to Victoria (neighbouring state).
I would recommend replacing the commute with a walk every day, get a little bit of exercise, clear your mind, and optionally listen to those podcasts again.
The statement that he retweeted, that you seem to be taking as discrediting, strikes me as entirely plausible.

The actors in question have tarnished their otherwise somewhat respectable careers over this, and indeed it has been a public health catastrophe of 100-year proportions.
Are you saying I am making and assertion without proof or that Trump did?
It's more than that, though. I own a podcast hosting service that Apple lists on their page of recommended services. Fewer people were starting podcasts in 2021 and 2022 than they were in 2019 and 2018 (it's hard to say before then, because my business has grown). The world, on the whole, lost a lot of interest in podcasting.

Part of that is a lack of a focus on podcasting. Serial drove a lot of interest, and that momentum faded with no obvious replacement. Podcasts were something folks made time for on their commutes and during their workouts. When folks started working from home en masse, they had less and less reason to listen.

Listenership fell for shows that have remained consistent. Some of my biggest customers have half or less than the number of listens they were pulling per week in 2019. And that's without changing cadence.
This looks like a great product, Andrew! Congrats — I wish you all the best.
I've moved from listening to music to podcasts while exercising to get my podcast fix during the pandemic.
I wanted to like podcasts, but never found one that wasn't either incredibly boring or incredibly grating to listen to.

Maybe I'm not the target audience, but I'm rarely if ever interested in the speaker of whatever information I'm trying to consume, and podcasts' focus on guests (and hosts) always came off as self-aggrandizing and people speaking just to hear themselves speak. Especially with very little editing (uhs, pauses, and general dysfluency) and/or preparation (winding conversations with a lot of fluff instead of a structured outline), I'd almost always just prefer to listen to a narrated book or textbook on whatever topic I'm interested in.
Being the steward of $200 billion is an enormous responsibility. Just because you're sitting on a pile of cash does not mean that you can do stupid things with it and not face immediate consequences by your employers (the shareholders).

Diversifying is worthwhile only amongst good options. It's more like "stop buying broken eggs, they are useless."

The report is really all about the failure of H2 policy, and is persuasive. There may perhaps be some political story about budget allocation between alternatives, but there is little indication of that.
Well, for one, the US response to the AIDS epidemic.

Also calling it a catastrophe is just begging the question. Maybe every country in the world should have been more prepared to deal with a novel respiratory virus causing a global pandemic, but they weren't, and in retrospect the primarily US-led response of making a vaccine using a new technology in one year and vaccinating a large percentage of the world in the next year is nothing short of astounding.

The issue with arguing that the CDC lost a lot of public trust is much more nuanced, and well, maybe it did, but that has a lot more to do with external factors that have nothing to do with the CDC (such as political leadership) and not much to do with what the CDC itself did. And this isn't to say the CDC did everything right, or even did a "good" job. But they certainly didn't do a catastrophically bad job.
You didn’t point out any discrepancies

For that to be true, everything listed as a adverse event of serious interest would have to be a major injury. You can assert that they all are, and I can disagree.
> Why do you have a database containing customer payment information?

To seed with canary credit card numbers! But seriously, for widely implemented (i.e. not-proprietary) databases of CC numbers it would be great if there were more automated ways of seeding them with CC canaries. Sort of a "LetsEncrypt for CC databases." E.g. for CCs saved by your browser, I'd like to see a plugin that lets you use one click to seed that DB with a few random CCs.

The whole idea would be to reduce the burden on the end user, who we all know will probably not take the time to do this manually.
The Wine development release 8.0-rc5 is now available. This is expected to be the last release candidate before the final 8.0.

Nice work. Is there a way to share games? Like "I just finished #3181 in 96 moves, can you do better?"
Ovulation and menstruation trigger heavy drinking in psychiatric outpatients
No, that’s not the case at all.

For what I said to be true, we need the “serious injury rate” to be close to the excess mortality figure — which is true when restricted to the subset above, that has a 1/1000 rate.

> And just coincidentally, 1/800 times the 500M doses in the US is very close to what a 10% increase in mortality (blue line) would be for two years — about 300,000 deaths a year. But I’m sure that it’s a coincidence that our non-COVID-attributed excess death matches the serious injury rate of mRNA vaccines and begins around the same period (purple line going below black line in 21Q2).

You’re welcome to say what adverse event in the list above you don’t consider to be a major injury — specifically.

- - - - -

> You aren't innocently pointing out the odd numerical alignment, you are implying that the vaccine injuries are a likely source of the deaths.

I said they’re coincidentally close; do you not believe me when I say that?

Do you have an explanation for that phenomenon which isn’t coincidence?
Twitter Spaces will replace podcasts.
Could you do a thing where you have a little nook in which to place your cellphone so you can still receive calls?
The paper trains a model that a. requires training data in a specific environment. Meaning, to deploy this tech, you need access to the space first to train this model. b. once trained, will not transfer its knowledge if routers are moved, or setup is deployed in a new area. c. training was done with just a single person moving. multiple people moving was not evaluated by this tech/probably harder to achieve. With that in mind, I think privacy-invasion capability of this technology is exaggerated by some comments here.
I don't understand how this is different from what Google currently provides, except that it skips one step (navigating to wire cutter, selecting some text and right clicking, then "search web for [product name]").

The only difference, which is not an improvement, is that you've suddenly given Wirecutter total power. At least if you make users visit the site and read a bit of the review, the reviewer has the hurdle of writing some text that can convince a human reader that the results are not totally bought and paid for.
ToolWall looks really cool. Great job.
I heard EVE Online had server-side RCE exploits many years ago, not sure if it got a CVE though. I expect all games have some sort of security bug, even the completely offline ones get speedruns that exploit memory bugs to win faster.
Morgan Stanley employees aren't unionized? If not, are there examples of similar companies where they are?

This seems like something that's negotiated at a contract level, company-wide.
Well explained. Also chat platforms can't bring valuable discussion like hn . Most chat devloves to dramas and fight. Because there's no topic to follow, nobody read back original posts and it became personal.
I guess that would be because that is making money by having money and not readily accessible to those who don’t already have money.
But the thing is... in tech usually it doesn't work that way. A 15yr tenured L6 is most likely making less than a newly hired L6. Why would you fire the one with experience? I've seen so many of these coming form MS and Google's layoffs.

For Japan, it reeks of highest scale sunk cost fallacy in action
I don't think that this is a bad thing. There were way too many people putting out podcasts in 2020-2022 who obviously didn't have any interest in the medium. I mainly worry that a contracting field might hurt revenues for established podcasters.

As a side note, I've found it harder and harder to find good podcasts. A select few seem to be able to game the metrics so they end up at the top of whatever lists I used to use to discover new content.
Niches = riches.

You want a super-tight thing that you do (e.g. "I fix performance issues for large NodeJS code bases", or better still "I write tooling to measure performance hotspots in NodeJS code bases".)

Despite this sounding like cutting off potential customers, it doesn't work that way. Customers will reach out to you with some generic work that they want done "because I know you know NodeJS" even when you say you specialise in something.

I don't listen to podcasts at all but oddly enough, I just came across the Hermitix[1] podcast today and found myself listening to it most of the day.

> Hermitix is a podcast focusing on one-on-one interviews relating to fringe philosophy, obscure theory, weird lit, underappreciated thinkers and movements, and that which historically finds itself 'outside' the academic canon.

they are out of social? what is YouTube? To me it's almost indistinguishable from Instagram at this point. The only difference is that some of the content I consume on IG is from my friends, but those are not monetizable interactions and it's almost completely separate from the content creator content consumption I do there. So YouTube is basically IG minus the unprofitable part.
sounds like a combination of reactivity / instrumentation / declarative programming

I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Using scripts to change how devs interact with git is just putting a new porcelain on the plumbing.
The market demand is satisfied by like ~250 podcasts the same way that there are about that many TV shows or fewer. The difference is that unlike TV shows, which cost a lot to make, amateur podcasts are very cheap to produce so there are a lot of people just doing it not because it's profitable but because they had nothing better to do during the pandemic. Now that we're past that phase people are over making new podcasts.
You make it sound like it's either one or the other.

Both are a problem. Extremism of any kinds should be condemned.
There are still solutions in that case. Email addresses only allocated to verified humans, which only accept email from the same addresses or specifically allowed outside email addresses.

Alternatively, email addresses that are necessarily paid for that have maximum sending limits or extra costs above those limits, so those addresses are not profitable for spam bots to use.

I could imagine some kind of “super priority email” that costs a dollar or something, that gets prioritized and is very unlikely to be marked spam.

More ideas: Maybe the amount paid per email sent changes depending on the percent of previous emails marked “accept emails from this sender”. Maybe some percentage of the e-mail fee is given to the recipient of the email.

Note that if a highly spam resistant email account is adopted by everyone the amount of spam sent may fall significantly. Gmail doesn’t count because it still isn’t as good as a system where sending millions of spam emails is simply too expensive.
