EU Analyst: The End of the Internet Is Near
Interesting; good to know. I don't see either Lobochevsky or Goedel in the lists.
If the redundancy is already in place to not fully rely on cloudflare's product (whatever it is, DNS, R2, etc) the it's not a kneejerk reaction.

It's an "I don't want to wake up to all our stuff running only on the backup provider because cloudflare shut us down for seemingly no reason with no warning".

It's avoiding unnecessary alerts and triage for the ops team by snipping an apparent liability from the stack. I've already done the same after seeing a few of these kinds of interactions with cloudflare in the R2 discord.

When I see a blog post detailing why this has been happening so often, and what they've done to fix it, I'll happily pull that infra code out of the mothballs.

It's cool, I just looked at the manual.

there's this part though:

// NOTE: `'a: {` and `&'b x` is not valid syntax!

I hate that I can't introduce new lifetime inside a function, it would make refactoring so much easier. Right now I have to try to refactor, see if the compiler accepts it or not, then revert the change.

Sometimes desugaring would be a great feature in itself, sugaring makes interactions between functions much harder to understand.
I feel it is the awesome browser since some years, already. With UBO, TSTabs and containers every other browser out there feels broken.
Good. They deserve it for bringing us the travesty that was rings of prime.

That billion dollar bet sure didn’t pan out either.
The writer for the google manifesto did not embark on a conservative topic but it became a conservatives pov after his publishing. I frankly think he was misunderstood by everyone, both right and left sides. I think he was being more intellectual than emotional.

And that is the problem here: politics is more about emotions than intellect. And participating in it means you have to be emotionally intelligent.

So don’t be involved until you’re emotionally intuned with your colleagues.

(I often take the opposite side of my colleagues because that is the only way I can emotionally understand them. Also because I think being emotional over technical issues is foolish.)
It is just causal that higher wages are inflationary. Reasons:

- People will spend more with higher wages

- Companies will pass over the higher costs to the customers

You responded to a post saying

On Android they have something called Family Link where you link a device and mark it explicitly as a kid's device to set restrictions like time usage, banned apps, etc. The only way to change settings is through the parent account. And yes she ran some very clever social engineering to try to get in.

Almost got me once - my wife left her phone unlocked so my kid opened WA and wrote me a message asking to lift the time restriction for the rest of the day. Her mistake was sending an extra "thank you so much" with heart emoji, which I though was off. If not for that misstep she would have got me.

Obviously she was rewarded and we listened to one of the Darknet Diaries episodes on social engineering
These terms come from Sakuga scene where artist attribution and appreciation are a big part of it. See also "Yutapon Cubes", for example.

Also we absolutely do identify art styles after their creators if the style is distinct enough, but doesn't necessarily establish a new branch, e.g. Escher, Warhol, Wes Anderson.
I love Firefox, too.

It is more customizable than Chrome.

But it isn't fast. Especially not on iOS.

Well, we could also simply be a lot of RAM interacting with itself until the power runs out.

Vivaldi on Android
If I remember correctly there are also tricks like

lea rax, [eiz+rbx*4]

instead of

lea rax, [rbx*4]

because the latter will produce an heavier binary by being interpreted as

lea rax, [00000000h+rbx*4]
Funny timing for me to see this on HN today

After some years of love/hate relationship with Vivaldi, I'm currently trying (once again...) to go back to Firefox after one too many chrome-based browsers fuck-up: opening Edge in a windows VM suddenly got my RAM usage up by 32GB, which were shared with my non-VM chrome-based browsers (chromium, vivaldi). First time just crashed my whole computer, second time I had to kill it all (the memory usage moved to chromium and then vivaldi when I closed the VM).

Vivaldi performance issues (and some bugs) was already putting me on the edge very often, but I really like the features so switching is very hard and will take a lot of time getting used to. Mouse gestures, panels, integrated mail (took way too long to come), tab stacking/tiling, command palette, etc. Sure some of these have firefox extensions doing something similar but it's still far from being the same.
Theres quite a few parameters to evoking the sounds and emotions you want from an instrument. We've been able to do it on computers for years, thats what vst's are after all (and modern modeled piano vst's sound incredible). In the end, playing a midi control is still easier than inputting all of those parameters manually though.

> But, to some extent, some of the music, even if performed by a computer with software with a human using the software as a tool does have a future.

Pretty much every modern song is made this way, isn't it? Apart from "live" recordings I'd wager every piano pop song in the last decade was recorded on a VST with a midi controller.
Also, in the UK at least, there are Whole Life policies which pay out whenever you die regardless of any term. Once again under the covers there is an investment plan based on how long you are likely to live.

There are also plans which aim to pay off a mortgage, so the insured sum decreases.

Term insurance is the nearest you get to other kinds of insurance - if nothing goes wrong there is no payout. However typically [1] I believe the insurer cannot cancel as long as you pay the premiums.

[1] As always, check the contract!
Maybe people in rich countries can learn to subsist on that much. Combined with the feudalism model that I have elsewhere in this thread promulgrated, this will define the living conditions of the 99 percent as we approach the singularity.
The fact that they don't(as far as I know) have weekly meetings where they decide which civilians to murder with drones doesn't mean that they don't murder civilians with drones.
The government agency doesn’t stand to gain money by denying coverage though.
This pops up when someone is pressuring an intangible resource (like R&D) into controlling costs. So management decides the easiest task that takes no work on their part is to ask subordinates to track time. Should be easy to root out the stuff that's costing too much money, right?

The smarter groups I've worked with will begin to ask about tracking time for standups, department meetings, company all-hands, lunch, interruptions from management, etc. The fractal nature of work reveals itself and everyone backs off time tracking really quickly.

It becomes evident pretty rapidly that the thing that costs the most is interference from management itself. That gets swept under the rug
I don't use Paypal for different reasons, but it still amazes me how popular it is as a tool for scammers. Someone on a different internet forum recently tried an unsophisticated scam impersonating an African aid worker and asking me to send money for the children. I was bored and baited them with computer generated replies. They wouldn't even take cryptocurrency, only Paypal. And it's a similar situation for other scams that are common in my city where they trick people in making bank transfers to the fraudsters account.

I don't understand how there can be so much fraud in legacy finance, and everyone simply accepts it without holding the companies responsible for not cracking down harder. Yet if it's on a public blockchain where everyone can observe the movements, it's supposed to be worse? Wonder how much more of it we'd see if bank books were public.
If this is what it takes to get developers to care about native code again, I'm all for it.

Yes, came here to say something similar. I searched for a song that was playing on at the moment, and what I got back were six other versions of the same song, at the top of the list, from the same artist from different albums.

Covers of this song would be great! But probably worthwhile to exclude anything with the same name by the same artist.

> On my 1240p if I change one file and build it takes ~11s to build. Changing one file and running tests takes ~3.5

`cargo test` and default `cargo build` use the same profile, so presumably the first number is referring to `cargo build --release`. Release builds deliberately forego compilation speed in favor of optimization. In practice, most of my development involves `cargo check`, which is much faster than `cargo build`.

I don't know if it's just my area (Atlanta) but they are very bad at delivering. I've started moving away from Amazon because they keep losing my packages. I'm in an area that used to be same day delivery but now I often get the "We're sorry your package is late. If you don't get it in 3 days let us know and we'll give you a refund." And what's weird is they are the ones delivering it. So why can't they just try again? I ask customer service but they say they aren't allowed. I have wait three days, cancel the order, get a refund, and start all over.

A few times the order has been marked as delivered with a photo of what is clearly not my house and customer service didn't understand the problem. They refused to either re-deliver / refund because they had "proof" it was delivered. Only when I threatened to do a chargeback did they refund and then, once again, I had to start all over.

It's been weird shopping at other places because some of them take 4 to 5 days just to get an order out of the warehouse and then have awful return policies. It's a trade off for sure.
Seems to me that some of Amazon's expansion is all over the place.

For example, Amazon Fresh stores in London are shutting down in places (Dalston) but opening enormous new ones in other spots (Monuement and Croydon) in the same month. I've barely seen anyone in one; with more staff than customers.
"how does a random person sign their binaries without paying through the nose and going through an extensive review process?"

You just self sign. Conveyor does it by default, even. You can always run your own software on your own machine. Now, other people's Windows machines out of the box won't treat that as signed of course. Users would have to install your signing certificate. But you certainly can sign code without paying for it, it's just not meaningful to a fresh Windows install. Self signing is useful for distributing software internal to organizations for example.

To distribute more widely, well, neither OV nor EV is actually an extensive review process. Even for EV they just verify that you're actually buying a certificate by looking you up in a business directory and calling you via the published contact details. Nothing about your software is reviewed.

It’s trivial to increase the UI button size in Firefox, though.
I was looking for info about an online acquaintance that I used to game with 20+ years ago. His handle is pretty unique but google would not return anything. Bing on the other hand had me finding all of his old post leading to his real name and now I am back in email contact. I get the feeling that google is just filtering out anything over a certain age and below a certain level of popularity.
Not AGI related but this has always bothered me.

I know he’s super talented but I always wonder how many other equally talented software engineers never get noticed and toil away at crappy jobs. What’s the trick to becoming a celebrity if you’re talented?
Carmack talked about implementing most of these things in C by himself, being used to working 10-12 hours a day for 6 days a week, and writing video codecs in Rust for him was on the level "a little bit beyond hello world". I don't know how much of that is really true but given his background in creating games, I tend to believe him, and his work ethic seems really impressive.

It doesn't prevent false positives, it just means that once these tools learn that you're a legit organization you're much less likely to encounter them because it's a strong signal of goodness, especially so for EV keys that are harder to steal.

From an earlier comment I made regarding Stripe shutting merchants down, and those merchants resorting to posting on HN and getting someone on HN to advocate for them to resolve their problem [0]:

"The main issue is not that [COMPANY] is working hard to protect itself and its customers, but that customers feel very powerless in these situations. When it takes a massive effort to get attention, especially if you're small and powerless, you feel that you have no control, and that your issues will go unanswered. What can the average, powerless customer who doesn't have the weight of social media, HN, @dang, or others on their side do when their hard-earned money or business is being held, locked, or otherwise prevented, and when the cause is not fraudulent, or if the customer is unaware of that activity? The problem is that accounts are just shut down, moneys are held, and there's no quick or clear communication, with customer support simply saying it's not in their control. It's this feeling of powerlessness that's the issue, regardless of whether or not [COMPANY] is in its rights or doing what it feels is in its and its customers best interests.

What can you do to help empower the powerless customers when their livelihoods are at stake? Can you provide some way to not instantly assume fraud or malicious intent on behalf of the customer and provide some quick and direct way for the customer to feel empowered?"

Having to resort to HN to get major problems resolved that are major customer service and potential legal / liability issues causes me a lot of stress when I realize that I have don't have nearly the same sort of power or influence as some of the others here do on HN. I worry that my complaints would simply go ignored.

@jgrahamc would love you to comment on what we can do to avoid people having to resort to HN for a solution to these problems, which favors the well-connected and squeaky wheels and disfavors everyone else.

Amazon appears to 'brute force' logistics. USPS, UPS & FedEX seem to be better at this. We can have 3 trucks in my small 12 house edition but the other guys only have 1 each. (That's why I call it brute force.)

I don't believe Amazon is a logistics company... or not a good one.

Considering that most of the growth was in leisure/hospitality, I interpret this move as the official "end" of the lockdown era. We have achieved full reopening/replacement of the bars, restaurants, and hotels that shut down during COVID, who proceeded to hire back all their low wage service workers. This explains the explosion in job growth with a stagnant avg hourly earnings rate - the new jobs are mostly low wage jobs!
Sure, once we agree what consciousness is and how it relates to the general intelligence.
Yeah, it remains to be seen whether it is economical for us to keep the hosted version on CF. I suspect that for users who want to run their own geographically distributed instance of it, CF will be the path that makes sense for the majority of them.

Who did you end up going with as a hosting provider? (Centrifuge looks to be a library, if I’m looking at the right thing)
Productivity is achieving more with the same number of people. The end result is more stuff (goods/services) at a lower price. It seems unlikely that this will be bad: wealth = f(technology)

Front page of HN for what clearly is opinion and user error. Nice. Enjoy.
Higher wages will definitely cause some inflation, I agree. My point is simply that household saving also has the potential to increase, which is a very good thing and often overlooked in this scenario. One problem is that real interest rates have been negative for some time, which is bad for inflation and for saving, but that is beyond the control of wage earners.
What has the higher probability right now, getting laid off due to macro conditions in the tech sector.....or getting laid off due to your political opinions?

Elon Musk claims this too, but posts all kinds of nonsense. He can get away with it, you can't. Assuming that you are a sane user of the internet however, you should be alright.
This is a pretty weird take. Seems fairly obvious to me that the boringness comes from adults having to… make a living. And for most people that equates to a 9-5 job that demands conformity and leaves little room for other things after you factor in all the other things adults have to be responsible for.

I have an unproven suspicion that if UBI was a thing we would see a lot more “not boring” adults, “Social predators” be damned.
In general for things like memory management and thermal management, if a handheld device is going to hit its limits, it'll do so well before the 30 minute mark.

Either your thermal solution can remove the heat of your CPU going at full power, or it can't. And if it can't it'll hit the limits in 5 minutes not 30 minutes, unless it's a huge water-cooling system or something like that.

The main exception here is batteries - but lots of fancy cameras offer things like battery grips for people who want to shoot for hours on end.
Twitter was a big driving force in that movement. Being able to track moment by moment activity and movements and how this shaped the Arab spring is not something you could achieve with other sources.
I did not know that. That certainly changes things.

I don't know how many people work at Cloudflare, but I'd imagine it's more efficient to have a working customer support system than to have the CTO personally handle every problem.
