He didn't even mention mutations or measurements, so you might be reading a bit too much into it there. But yeah, I guess one (or a whole army of scientists) could think up a measurement scheme like that, starting from the last common ancestor. Meanwhile, I propose we continue using words like "evolved" in an informal way since they might turn out to have more meat to them than initially apparent.
Why is this the end of content? Can't content be good or better in its own right? Maybe AI will do a better job of researching, investigating, creating and writing.
Well, that's a bit inconvenient but still possible. You need to put a counter in front of either the website or username or the secret key.
Broadcom spikes as influential analyst says Apple has halted its own Wi-Fi chips
I don't think there's much of a challenge ind that, except (most critically) for scaling it..

Since web browsers now have such excellent support for video codecs, you really only need to receive the files and maybe re-encode them to the most well supported format..

HTML has the <video> tag so you literally just link to that from your html, you don't need to "build a video player", browsers come with that already. And the data transport is just HTTP or HTTPS if you want to get fancy..

Everything else is the ops related, and is where it gets difficult.. Actually, it only gets difficult if your platform succeeds, but then it becomes majorly expensive and difficult.. Then you have to manage instances all around the world, probably negotiate with ISPs to place caches inside their datacenters, manage infrastructure to distribute videos on demand, manage abuse (harmful/illegal content) and oh my god it'd be a major pain and challenge,.

Shameless plug, I wrote a minimalistic audio-player, it's basically the same thing, except I didn't use the <video> tag.. Look at the server, there's pretty much nothing there except a bit of plumbing to query a sql database. https://github.com/DusteDdk/dstream

I think the important thing is that you asked.

I've had a very negative experience, where I also asked, and they basically said "sign it or GTFO". So I did the latter, and I'm very glad I did.
I stated in plain English that a murder needs a body is not to be taken literally. Obviously evidence is still required. I used an example of witness testimony.

So at this point have you run out of any ammo other than meaningless nitpicks?
Google Recruiter Learned Job Lost After Candidate Call Disconnected
A Growing Threat: Harmful Fungal Toxins Spreading in Wheat
I can't stand this. I once worked on a project where there were seven layers of interfaces that all led down to a wrapper around a library and each step was just adding another parameter onto the call in the library. The entire PROJECT didn't need to exist, the owning project could have easily just called the library directly as it already had all the context, maybe with one method to abstract in case we needed to swap the underlying library. I remember thinking I was a bad developer for not "getting it," but armed with 10 more years of experience I've realized it wasn't me.
From police interview I think he had enough clue to make him look bad enough in relation of guns. A dangerous idiot so to say. And that is what matters in a court.
This used to be true for Windows, but I don't think it is anymore. At least on the last version I used, I was able to change the UI language (but that was also marketed as an "Ultimate Edition perk" or something similar, so I'm not sure if OEM versions are still language-locked).

Where it probably gets tricky is for languages that operating systems are not commonly available in – users presumably have less of an incentive to set the correct locale if it does not make an immediate difference (assuming it is even offered in the setup dialog).
Looks like some of these "broken" notebooks are actually stolen notebooks. If you buy online, you can contact the seller to solve the issue. It is actually the point of the feature. If someone knows they could not do anything with the device, they will not steal it (same with new phones).

> Apple encourages owners of older devices to participate in the company’s trade-in program

Which is a pretty bad program, reusing is always better than recycling. Apple will just scrap it into basic elements: metals, maybe lithium.
"If any of these allegations are proven true" - most of them are not allegations, they have quoted facts which are publicly verifyable. Other points are just massive red flags or questions. Examples -

- Rajesh Adani, was accused by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) of playing a central role in a diamond trading import/export scheme around 2004-2005. He was subsequently arrested twice over allegations of customs tax evasion, forging import documentation and illegal coal imports. Given his history, why was he subsequently promoted to serve as Managing Director at the Adani Group?

- The independent auditor for Adani Enterprises and Adani Gas is a tiny firm called Shah Dhandharia. Historical archives of its website show that it had only 4 partners and 11 employees.

- Offshore entities hold concentrated positions in Adani stocks, they accounted for up to 30%-47% of the yearly delivery volume in Adani stocks, a massive irregularity.

- Publicly listed companies in India are subject to rules that require all promoter holdings (known as insider holdings in the U.S.) to be disclosed. Rules also require that listed companies have at least 25% of the float held by non-promoters in order to mitigate manipulation and insider trading. 4 of Adani’s listed companies are on the brink of the delisting threshold due to high promoter ownership.

- Elara, a firm with almost $3 billion in concentrated holdings of Adani shares, including a fund that is 99% concentrated in shares of Adani. Leaked emails show that the CEO of Elara had dealings with notorious stock manipulator Dharmesh Doshi, partner of Ketan Parekh, even after Doshi became a fugitive for his alleged manipulation activity. How does Adani respond to this relationship, given that Elara is one of the largest “public” holders of shares of Adani?

> There's implicit assumption that if you can get a hold of a copy and manage to learn from it

But there are explicit laws about how you acquire copies of things, and whether they apply seems to be based on what someone believes “learning” to be.

Your claim relies on the belief that a computer ingesting images is similar to a human learning from those images.

Yeah I just don't get how people miss this elephant in the room.

Automation as it was sold to us since the 60s is a complete failure on the social aspect. Wages stagnate, we work as much if not more than 40 years ago, retirement age is going up, job security is dead, inequalities are growing, poverty is rising, virtually everywhere in the west.

It's cool to automate factory jobs but if it's to push factory workers into amazon warehouses, uber, e-scooter juicers or food delivery jobs I don't see it as a net positive, capital owners sure generate more capital but that's the last thing I'd like to see increasing.
> many-to-most of these clauses are in every boilerplate contract

Contracts are entirely negotiable. If there's a job you want, but the contract contains an objectionable clause, tell them that you're willing to accept if they strike that clause. If you're at the point in the hiring process where they're showing you the contract, that means that they've sunk resources into you that they don't want to throw away. And the fact that these clauses are boilerplate, as you say, works in your favor, because nobody involved in the hiring process consciously chose to put that clause in and they probably don't really give a damn.
> Strangely enough, the name of this typeface is barely known even among die-hard fans.

This doesn’t seem strange to me at all. I’m a fan of many books and I don’t know the name of any of the typefaces. I think it’s funny that this author links fandom for fonts to fandom for Dune and thinks people interested in Dune are also interested in typefaces.

I like this article and was curious about the distinctive “dune font.” But not enough to Google it in the past 40 years.
Why aren't channels muted by default?
Strongly agree!

I believe remote work and async communication increased the feedback loop and reduced focus. For you to get your PR reviewed/merged or simply unblock some other person, will require more time than working together.

Oh, they knew it was temporary, and they knew they'd do a mass layoff when that time came. This was always the plan.
Depends on the type of gym. The cheap ones only can pay the bills if most people are paying but not actually going. So they have to make it hard to end the contract.

There are a few gyms that don't, but these tend to be based on personal training or snall group classes. That personal attention means they are more likely to end your contract for you if you are not attending as they need a good reputation to justify the high price they have to charge everyone.

If you know what your are doing in the gym you don't need the services of the more expensive ones, so canceling will be hard.
I'm just guessing here, but I'd assume this vulnerability does happen once the master password is input.

So, the attacker modifies the config file, then the user eventually uses the password manager as usual, and then a file in disk with all plain text passwords is generated and subsequently read by the attacker.

I guess the point here is you don't need a memory read vulnerability.

Can someone more knowledgeable confirm?
The answer to that is, obviously, another AI reading the AI created content. Should make training of new content AIs so much easier!
Personally, I don't want to waste my energy reading generated text.

At the core of it, people write in order to transmit some deeply distilled messages about life. It is about sharing the experience of being alive, either as advice or warning about what might happen or will inevitably happen to us.
The love, the pain, the emotions, the fear of death, the acceptance - good writing is where we read these things in between the lines, where we feel and empathize with the author and as a result gain some deeper insight which helps us adapt to the ever changing circumstances around us.

There's a lot more encoded in that text than just semantic meaning of words or phrases.
Not that all human writers have the 'talent' to encode more than that, but the ones who do manage to shift something inside us.

As of right now, I can feel that a text was generated. Same with images - and with sound. I can't exactly explain it, but it's the same kind of 'plastic' feeling and it's similar regardless of the form (text, image, sound).

I'd really like us to be able to keep this edge over the algorithms, but this might be impossible in the long run.
I think that’s exactly what is going on here. If you’re a third party reseller who buys used Macs for resale then you need to have the original owner turn off Find My Mac so you can wipe the machine. If the person bringing the machine in for resale isn’t the original owner then, well, it may be stolen.
Why are people doing all of this SMD stuff for hobby projects? Cool project, but that looks like a maddening build. Would be a fun afternoon if it was THT.
Am I reading that right, that if you point Keepass.exe at any .kdbx and simply add an export option to the XML config it'll export it without the master password?

Granted you need local access to modify the config, but generally the .kdbx is stored (securely) on some shared environment. Grabbing that would mean you could export passwords at your leisure in this setup?
> It is possible, at least theoretically, that "keyword scanning" only happens when you interact with the apps.

This isn’t what the popular conspiracy is though. People argue just having their phone with them while they hold normal conversations leads to advertisements later. No app interaction is ever mentioned. I think this experiment is perfect for debunking the conspiracy.
Hybrid can solve this, at our group meetings (physical science, not SWE) we’ll sometimes all have laptops up at the conference table to collaborate on a document or whatever. We have a large physical screen that I think is better than sharing a screen in video chat.

Remote is ok, but as an introvert I sometimes find it harder to get a word in edgewise, and I already sometimes struggle with that during in person meetings. That and I feel like IRL conversations are somehow better for unstructured/lateral/creative thinking
>an attacker, who has write access to the XML configuration file

If an attacker already has write-access to local files he could also replace keepass.exe or install a keylogger.

If this happens, it's already too late.. this CVE is a joke!
It seems many people are dismissing this as report as complete junk science. They read the article, decided the conclusions are far-fetched.

Imagine what 'scientists' can do for topics that aren't so easy to digest. If you question THAT science, why then you're just a conspiracy theorist.
Refering to a thing being true during four separate calendar years as 'several' is perfectly valid.

Similarly stating an outright falsehood with the source in front of you isn't a mistake, it's a lie. One that is part of the current fossil fuel and nuclear misinformation campaign.

You having a tantrum and cry bullying when your lies are pointed out doesn't make me a troll. Quite the opposite.
After reading the entirety of those two articles, it seems the consensus is the story was good enough to prove it is possible for a well written story to come out of the National Enquirer, as evidenced by the fact that they did break a huge story. I'm aware that this evidence does not match what you feel about the National Enquirer but I disagree that not ignoring evidence to backup popular bias is a flaw in journalism as a field.
It's just disappointing that Google has a ton of cool AI projects that have nice announcement pages and seem promising but are never available to the general public.

I would hope that the password manager application does not itself have access to the unencrypted passwords, without the user providing the master password.
Another Galaga mystery, what’s the origin of the “midway fast shoot hack” version, where the fire speed is twice as fast? My Dad loves Galaga, but grew up with that version and gets annoyed with the normal, slower version (mostly because after you’re used to the fast one it feels like the button is just dropping half your inputs on the slow one).

As far as I know, the game is otherwise unchanged apart from the fire speed.
The difference is the scale it allows. The amount of writing a human can generate is relatively limited, even if it is bad writing. GPT and its equivalents allow you to turn electricity into spam with minimal human intervention. That allows unprecedented levels of spam of sufficient quality to make it hard to detect without being examined more closely.
I've expected NERF + Diffusion models for a while, but it looks like there's still a lot of work needed before it gets practical.
It would probably be a much tighter circle of interested readers but the kill list is pretty long indeed.

What makes me sad is not that Intel isn’t a good company - it is. It is that Intel could be an even greater company if it could just get out of its own way.
There are cernainly pros and cons to deterministic password generators compared to password managers, but I don't see why there would be a difference entropy-wise. Weak master password to a password manager presents the exact same risk as a weak "secret key" in this app.
I this a great step for environment protection.
Off the top of my head Coffeescript introduced the function arrow syntax to JS, as well as class based inheritence.

Also you don't need to take my word for it, Brendan Eich, the creator of JS himself has said that CoffeeScript had a significant impact on his thoughts about the future of JavaScript (https://brendaneich.com/2011/05/my-jsconf-us-presentation/).
Ah yes of course, we're scared, there are absolutely no moral or ethical questions to ask, no consequences on societies, employment, &c. to plan for

Whats the deal with the MSDOS era limitations for keyvault and storage account names. FFS it has to be unique AND within 3-24 characters consisting of lowercase letters, numbers and dashes.

If you have local access to the user's account, couldn't you just switch the keepass executable to a modified version that just sends the database along with the master password to anywhere you want?

I don't see how you can protect from this kind of "attack".

Show HN: Race Condition 2023 – AI racing coding challenge in the browser
I and my colleagues built this racing game where you write JavaScript code in your browser to race on a Unity WebGL based race track.

We'll actually invite the top 5 racers in Finland to run the same code on our actual (admittedly rather kludgy) physical cars, which my colleague built from RC cars and Raspberry Pis.

I think the game is super fun. I hope you enjoy it as well!
There are at least 3 of these in my city and unfortunately all of them kinda suck for one reason or another.

Two of them are basically just noisy f'ing bars with a lot of arcade machines you have to pay for and the third, which operates as per your description, has a lot of slightly-broken cabs and uses emulation for several of them.

But what's worse is that when you don't have to pay for it, it turns out most arcade games really suck.
Why are passwords a users problem?
Still, if they'd found that Haskell was much easier or more productive to use than other programming languages for simple computational tasks, you'd think a few of them might have googled 'how do do IO in Haskell' and gone from there.

It also means the fuel takes up much more volume. This has two downsides: the fuel now becomes more expensive to make, and it becomes more expensive to dispose of.
So this makes no sense. Someone that works at Dropbox has access to millions of kdbx files, and doesn't need any master passwords, just their own copy of keepass.exe?
The difference is that you'd also have to own the password store, rather than having to know about the hashing algorithm (which is open).
It is not, and most of the internet is already trash. We're speaking a lot about scale - but there are currently billions of humans and most of what they put online is already trash. It's not going to materially change - it is currently almost impossible to manually (on your own, at least) figure out what is good, and it will be impossible in the future as well.
As I understand it, if you modify the xml, Keepass will silently export entries in the database once you load it (by providing the password).

Keepass will (by default) not ask for the password a second time before exporting - but you have to decrypt the database once before it can be exported.

So this is not a risk if your threat model is "attacker obtains a copy of my .kdbx", but it is a risk if your threat model is "attacker can modify .kdbx without me noticing, and can access my local computer or a mounted network disk to read the exported passwords".
Also verify that anything you're signing when you leave matches what you signed when you were hired.

I recently left a company where, when I was hired, I had agreed in "Appendix C" not to recruit any of their employees away from them for a period of 12 months after separation. When I actually separated after more than two years, the "Appendix C" they wanted me to sign and presented as the one I had agreed to at hire now said 24 months. I told them I was happy to stand by my original agreement of 12 months, but I had no incentive to extend to 24 and would not be doing so. They sent me one with the right number and I signed.

Their story was that, in the two years since I'd signed, they changed Appendix C and had "accidentally" given me the one that pertained to people who had been hired after me under the revised terms. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, because why believe people are malicious when they could just as well be careless?
I want to believe reading memory from another process is more difficult in modern operating systems than reading a configuration file in a user's home directory. That said, I'm a layperson so I don't actually know what protections are in place for either memory or filesystem access.
