If you don't believe me about how weapons safety on set is supposed to work, take it from an actual professional armorer (below). Notice there's nothing in here about it being the actor's job to make sure the gun is safe, never put your finger on the trigger, etc. An experienced, cautious actor can go above and beyond and make sure the armorer didn't fuck up, but it's not expected or part of the job description.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/01/alec-baldw...

Armorer: When the armorer wakes up in the morning, those guns and the ammunition should be under lock and key. Everything should have been inventoried the night before. They look at their call sheet; they know what they need. They’ll normally have a cart that has the weapons for that particular scene locked up with keys that only they have on their person. They’ll transport them to set when they’re called to set. They’ll open up those cases. For a rehearsal, a lot of times, they will bring out the guns. Now, a lot of times you can do a rehearsal without guns.

Interviewer: Baldwin was rehearsing when this happened, right?

Armorer: Right. But the thing is, if they had not used them in rehearsal and then used them in the actual scene, would he have shot her then? Who knows? But it’s just another layer of protection that’s put in place.

Armorer (ctd): When you’re ready to go, the actors stand on their marks. Firearms are called in. The armorer will walk in with the firearms and put them in the actor’s hands. If they need to fire the guns, the armorer will chamber a round into whatever gun needs to be fired. And he will say “This weapon is hot” right to the actor’s face. Of course, this is after your typical safety briefings that they have every single day and before every single scene is shot with firearms, to let everyone know that firearms are on set.

(later in the interview)

Armorer: So first of all, if the assistant director was the one who handed him the pistol, there was no professional involved who knew anything about firearms. So that’s hugely concerning.

Armorer (ctd): Baldwin has been doing this long enough. He’s been in a lot of movies, action movies and things like that. If someone hands him a gun, what’s stopping him from looking down and looking through that chamber and saying, “Oh, I got rounds in here”? “Why are we dealing with rounds? Are they dummy rounds? Can I inspect the dummy rounds myself?" He’s totally okay to ask that.
I had a discussion with a friend about this the other day. In the future, you’ll use an AI to write emails. The AI will learn about your style and then write targeted emails for your audience. Your audience, becoming tech savvy, will now use their own AI to answer your emails. We are going to end up with AIs talking to AIs. AIs writing content but also AI reading this same content and learning from it.

Talk about the trading economy being a zero-sum game where people are moving tokens from one hand to another? Wait until you see the AI economy.

So yes, that’s the legal proof of ownership… no one claimed to have written the song otherwise.

But I thought you were interested in originality outside of just the legal perspective? You know, that crimes can be committed without evidence and all?

What makes Blowing in the Wind different from another folk song of the time? What makes them the same? Why are some non-original aspects allowed in a work considered original?
They're quite bad, and I doubt very much they are based on Frank Herbert's "found notes" in any way. If they are, Brian Herbert should publish those notes, like Christopher Tolkien did.

Lower quality writing, and not thoughtful, and the story arc they take things in seems much cruder than what Frank Herbert would have had in mind.

As usual, ChatGPT is summarizing and regurgitating the (m|d)isinformation that's already out there.

It doesn't matter how many Tlon employees and Urbit fans protest otherwise, that what is inaccurate. Urbit is not an "operating system".

Here's the download page, where you can download Urbit for Linux, Urbit for MacOS, Urbit for Windows etc:

https://urbit.org/getting-started/cli

It's an application. It's not an "operating system". You need an operating system to run it.

It's also not a "personal server operating function" or "new kind of computer" as described elsewhere in the literature. It's a freaking web app.

I love that the CLI installation instructions describe themselves as "Installation instructions for power users". On the home page "All the smart people I know disappear into Urbit."

This is toy software, backed by a 100% transparent ponzi scheme, appealing to the most gullible out there who desperately want to be accepted by a "smart" minority group.

The network is more resilient to censorship, surveillance, and data breaches? Puhlease. The CLI example page shows you how to set up a basic Urbit instance which is accessed via ... unencrypted HTTP.

He moves the goalposts halfway through, defining "crime" as stuff that happens outside jail.

So rapes, murders, drug dealing etc within jail don't count.

He also seems to acknowledge that it's expensive, which I believe is the steelman version of the argument he thinks he's debunking:

There's better things to spend money on that will prevent the crime happening in the first place.

e.g. if an addict steals to feed his habit, spend money on providing them with free drugs and healthcare to deal with their issues and spend even more money on whatever prevents people falling victim to these problems in the first place.

There's a Ted Talk (appropriately enough) from someone trying to reduce the number of death row prisoners executed. He concludes that preventing the crime with social spending is the cheapest option and totally avoids the "death penalty/prison" works/doesn't work argument.

I'm absolutely flabbergasted by rapid progression of music related machine learning models. I've always seen music as the "final frontier". With images you can have tiny errors and noise that isn't that noticeable by the human eye, but with music everything has to be impeccable and if a note is slightly off, you instantly hear it. Machine learning models that will be able to create outstanding music, imo, will mark the end-game of creative AI.

I don't completely understand your comment. Do you imply there's something wrong with being autistic? Or that overworking is an exclusively autistic trait? Both interpretations seems off, so I believe I missed your point.

You can also extract depth information from each cameras lens array. In theory, if you combine that capability on a per camera basis with photogrametric and/or stereo imaging techniques, you should be able to get a fairly refined depth map of a scene passively if the scene is static or you have well synchronized shots. Something I also wanted to explore but never had time to do.

At the time, I always considered passive ranging to be a potentially more valuable feature of lightfield cameras more so than refocusing images.

i do legal compliance/litigation for indian businesses.
there are a couple of things at play here (talking about small business)

1. taxes and compliance is VERY VERY HARSH because the govt expects people to fuck them over taxes.

2. people DO fuck the govt over taxes. there is a normal parallel cash economy that saves a tonne of indirect taxes at the start and direct income tax at the end of the financial year.

3. businesses have this concept of "why should we pay for compliance/ books and have that work as evidence against us if things go south when we can just bribe the investigating officer and our job will be done.\

4. for the most part, "paper" is king. online works for most part but because of technical inefficiencies, paper is allowed and that makes bribery a viable solution.

5. i know of a guy in delhi-ncr who apparently advertises that he "has contacts with all the GST departments of the area and if you have any problem with the department and you need settlement, you call me. ". He recently bragged to one of his teachers about earning "1 lac a day doing this broker job".

6. there is never ending cycle of businesses finding ways to steal tax money, govt finding out and plugging them and the cycle starts again. this has the unintended consequence of a genuine business owner sees no "value" in being genuine when it actually saves them cash.

7. we do audits but i know what kind of stuff we check so being an auditor, i do not "trust" an audit report of another auditor so you can say that about the profession. ( this applies to big and small businesses the same)

8. every party is greedy and the other party knows and tries to fuck one another. that is the gist of it.

9. "meteoric rise" is absolute bullshit.

10. people "hope" that people like adani are better because they have a tonne of money so they should be better than us so we should fuck with out customers/suppliers/employees/govt because that is the only way to become like that guy.

11. everyone has known that adani is being helped by modi govt, same for reliance but no one sees that as a risk.

12. you join BJP, "all your sins will be washed away". i have seen that in a lot of places on the streets.

Hi Vadim, it’s so great you’ve written this and are trying to help others! It might be worth pointing out that in some places (Australia, I think California? And probably the European Union) the non-compete clauses can’t be enforced because companies aren’t allowed to stop you from making a living. Anti-poaching of employees sure but not anti-compete. So maybe people could do a quick google for their country or state to see if it’s even something to worry about (so they don’t reject a job for something that in practice isn’t relevant). Also, I’ve noticed that the NDA components are usually very reasonable as they mostly cover “material non-public information” (or something like that) so usually it’s not an issue, but good to check for sure.
We've already seen Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok steal content from each other all the time.

Content is a commodity that's losing value, fast. Blogs regularly post meaningless content for the sake of keeping up a regular schedule. I've seen this start years ago when junior devs got recommended to keep up blogs for their resume. The amount of blogposts I've seen documenting basic syntax of programming languages is insane. Or clickbait posts telling you "why you shouldn't use Typescript".

The trend where you need to actively push content for traffic is a bubble that's gonna burst. You're already seeing it happen with streaming services, they're culling their content because it's just becoming way too much.
yes, that is possibility. but not with adyen, their ToS do not supprot my business(not, it is not porn).

It's highly subjective. Fallout 1 is quite enjoyable once you learn the ropes (Internet is your best help there, not the game), but I prefer Fallout 4 in terms of gameplay mechanics, content quality and amount of content. Fallot 4 was much more immersive and overall enjoyable.

If someone has enough time to give it a try:
look up on the Internet the controls beforehand and have very balanced SPECIAL, otherwise you won't reach vault 15 (the first mission). Also, there is a gun behind a toilet in that vault, even if you can't see it when looking for it there. Don't bother trying to escape if the mutants capture you.

Those are the acivities I lost too much time figuring out, which can be quite a turn off in the start. I well spent much more time enjoying the game.

P.S. SPECIAL can't be upgraded later
> the cargo index download is glacial

Cargo has been working to resolve this, it's been testing a new feature that lazily fetches fine-grained index info over HTTP rather than the legacy approach, which is to clone the entire index stored as a git repo (which worked fine when crates.io was young and small, but hasn't scaled well). You can enable it on nightly Rust via the sparse-registry config flag, and it was recently accepted for the 1.68 release in March (which means you can try it out on the beta channel right now). In the future, it will become the default behavior.

> 1. If I have to change my password for any reason, I would have to come up with a new secret key since the site/username would never change. Suddenly I'm stuck having to remember multiple secret keys.

Yep, just like you would with a normal password. Pashword is not a password manager replacement, it's just a helper for when you wanna generate strong passwords that you re-generate anytime.

> 2. Poor control over the length of the passwords - you only provide 3 options, and 20 characters is pretty low.

The point is to not remember the password length for each website, hence the 3 options.

> You can't exclude certain certain characters - yes, it's stupid for companies to not allow certain characters in the password, but many sites still do so.

You can, actually. Just press the 'Not working?' button :)

> 4. If I try to just put in an app name, you tell me to use a real URL.

Oh right, that's a valid point. I'll remove the domain requirement.

> 5. It was SLOW. Maybe it's just busy, but I'd rather not have to generate the password every time.

The algorithm is pretty computation heavy, to avoid brute force attacks even with ASICs. If you use Bromite, the privacy settings can cause issues with the website's cryptography algorithms.

> 6. Even people experienced in cryptography and hashing make mistakes. A product made by someone learning about them is... Suspect.

That's why it's open source and uses standard algorithms like Scrypt, SHA256, SHAKE256 to derive passwords. Pashword is a simple PKBDF algorithm at the end of the day.

> A password manager is 100% the better choice every time. For the people in my life who don't want to learn how to use a password manager, then a notebook at their desk at home is the second best option.

I agree that password managers are better but the second one is not a good advice. I'd argue Pashword is a much better choice.
I wonder what the mystery instruction set in the slides actually is? (Assuming it is a real instruction set and not just something made up to demo the idea.)
It says:

Improved circulation: Wearing your socks inside out can help improve circulation in your feet and lower legs, which can help prevent varicose veins and other circulation issues.

Better hygiene: The inside of your socks is typically cleaner than the outside, so by wearing them inside out, you can keep your feet cleaner and reduce your risk of foot odor and other hygiene issues.

Increased durability: The inside of your socks is typically more durable than the outside, so by wearing them inside out, you can help prolong the life of your socks and save money in the long run.

Better grip: The inside of your socks is typically more textured than the outside, which can provide better grip and traction when you're walking or running.

Fashion statement: Wearing your socks inside out can be a unique and eye-catching fashion statement that sets you apart from the crowd.

Personalized look: You can also customize your socks by cutting and sewing them to create a personalized look.

Easy to remember: If you're someone who often struggles to match your socks, by wearing them inside out it will be easy to remember which one is which!
Interesting - how does one determine if they are “affected by placebo” or not?
The fad must have passed quickly and the trick been lost in the pre-Internet era. By 1990-2000, I don't think players knew about it anymore, and Galaga was far less popular.
> It's not because the languages are particularly difficult or arcane, it's mainly because people don't already know it, and people don't like to learn to do things differently: their experience stands in the way.

I'm somewhat of a fan of Haskell (though its standard library is awful) and very much a fan of Idris (at the very least it's a better-Haskell, at best, dependent types!), but hard disagree.

These languages are difficult and arcane, compared to eg Python. A beginner to programming can get started with Python immediately, it reads like pseudocode.

Get started with Haskell or Idris, you quickly hit higher kinded types, monad transformers, free monads, final tagless. It's a different universe.
Got to agree with the developer on the dispute.

If someone can edit the XML they could also just add a plugin that exports everything on load? Plugs are trivial to write and have access to everything automatically if they exist on disk in the plugins directory.
> I used to work in defense, should that software be open source?

Software that is used internally and not distributed need not be free software. That was not my point.

That said, I do work in defense now (writing software for a defense partner that finances the research of my lab) and the contract requires that all our production be published under an open source license. Only the data is secret, and we don't really get to see most of it.
Yes, I was working on a browser extension but got busy with work. I'll get back on it as soon as I get some time :)

Ask HN: Async work Is dead?
I don't buy into the concept of this new gen of apps to record audio or video messages (transcribed or not) and use them to have back and forth comms with your team. I think it sounded good initially... but in real-work settings, it's not that efficient.

All the remote teams I came across have a good coms setup between slack, slack huddle/audio, zoom and email.

The argument of 'your calendar has too many meetings' is flawed. This issue comes down to poor time management or a flawed team/organisation structure (e.g. corporate meetings with 8+ attendees in the meeting when only 3 of them are really needed).

Proof in the pudding:
- Loom has been around for years but is still used mainly for product demos.
- Yac is pivoting according to their homepage

Who agrees/disagrees?
How is this different from PasswordMaker (in JS or adddon form) that have been around for a decade or longer?
The assumption being that your body will just dispose of any excess safely.

Well worded. From my personal experience, this assumption is dangerous.

About 20 years ago I was having elevated AST/ALT liver enzymes three tests in a row indicating liver damage. Doctor ordered every test to see what was going on but everything came up negative. She asked me if I took a multivitamin which I did. She told me to stop.

Haven’t had elevated liver enzymes since.
Write a short buzzfeed article titled "7 Mind-Blowing Reasons Why You Should Start Wearing Your Socks Inside Out"

Improve circulation: Wearing your socks inside out can help improve blood flow in your feet and legs.

Reduce odor: The inside of your socks are less exposed to the elements, which means they are less likely to develop odor-causing bacteria.

Increase durability: The inside of your socks are typically made from a more durable material, which means they will last longer when worn on the outside.

Save money: Wearing your socks inside out means you'll have to replace them less often, saving you money in the long run.

Make a fashion statement: Wearing your socks inside out can be a bold and unique fashion choice that sets you apart from the crowd.

Help the environment: By extending the life of your socks, you're helping to reduce textile waste and decrease your environmental footprint.

Surprise and delight: Wearing your socks inside out can be a fun and unexpected twist on an everyday item that will brighten up your day and make you feel a little more playful.

So next time you're getting dressed, give it a try and see if wearing your socks inside out makes a difference for you. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it!
