Ask HN: My Samsung phone suddenly stopped accepting my password, any ideas why?
I noticed my phone was heating up unnaturally so I restarted it. After the restart, it won't accept my password anymore.

When I input my password and press done it will just ignore it and turn off the phone due to 5 seconds of inactivity meaning it won't register my password. If I press around to prevent inactivity, it'll tell me my password is incorrect after 6 seconds.

Notes:

- I have never changed my password and have no evidence of being hacked on my google account

- It validates any password <4 characters immediately with incorrect but anything above that will "hang"

- I was told to put it into safe mode by support which locked my phone into airplane mode

- Hard reset doesn't do anything

- Wiped the cache partition in recovery mode doesn't work

I've left it with Samsung technicians to see what they can find out and an explicit note not to factory reset it. That is an absolute last resort. The only bad symptom I can think of is that my phone space was running really low.

I got complacent and did not back up regularly like I should and this seemingly random event caught me by surprise. Has this ever happened to anyone else?
My solution is to go back to meat space and physical libraries of information.
Chargeback abuse is mushrooming. Word's getting out that chargebacks are free refunds. No need to engage the merchant anymore. Very selfish customers are now able to get their product and eat it too, for free.

Instead of being an advocate for their customers to the financial institutions, Stripe is siding with them and we all have to fend for ourselves.

Obviously, consumer protection mechanisms are needed and around for a good reason, but something happened during the pandemic. People don't care anymore. Look it up, chargeback fraud has massively increased since 2020.

I was just thinking this yesterday. I realized that I always thought the promise of AI was to cut through the noise for us and bring us signal.

As I watch the ChatGPT-like products proliferate, I’m realizing the opposite will be true. And soon, it’ll be AIs to help us deal with AIs. A layer cake of clever but useless 'tools' for improving human life.
Is jRuby still a thing? I didn't see it in the perf comparisons.
I need to get off the internet. I thought the rampart scandal was about Woody Harrelson's disastrous AMA on Reddit.

A posix shell script written in 1990s would still work today and likely will work 10 years from now (given that external commands it uses had not breaking changes). Not many proper scripting languages have such track record - most of them either had many small backward incompatible changes or an update which breaks many things at once (like Python 2 -> 3). Though I have some 20+ years old Perl scripts which still work today but it is hard to find a language which attracts more haters than Perl.
Sharing beyond a boat's internal network isn't much used yet except for a few use-cases.

You need to have a way for the individual boats to share that data. The most obvious way would be to have access to the internet, and host a server somewhere where all the boats would send their data (sensor data, mostly position/heading/speed information).

For example, a regatta could host a server where participants send all their data, enabling a live map with all participant's position and course plotted on it, along with depth & wind instrument readings. This could let spectators understand the participant's performance (how high their point into the wind, etc.)

Navigation information (routes, waypoints, etc) can also be shared over SignalK, altough that's not much used yet as OpenCPN doesn't support it. Again, in the regatta example, you could see a "dynamic" regatta, where the course isn't known in advance.

IMO the main challenge here is having a peer-to-peer "local broadcast" mode, like AIS or DSC. There are regulatory challenges with this, though.
> Methylation is a real biological function, but it has been co-opted by alternative medicine peddlers as a convenient (though incorrect) explanation for everything. It’s part of a new wave of alternative medicine that takes real scientific concepts (methylation, glutamate/glutamine cycles) and tries to work backwards from symptoms to assume the status of various cycles in the body.

I'm not gonna say you are wrong about this, but methylation is also a super hot topic right now among legitimate researchers and biotech companies. It's completely possible that anxiety-response is modulated by methylation of specific sites that produce cortisol and other biomarkers. Agree that it's not driven by methylation per se, but the biological response could be tested and proven by analysis for specific methylation patterns.
Proof of what? You can't prove or disprove an unfalsifiable claim.
I don't see China playing ball as much as you are suggesting (but who truly knows). I think the Chinese authorities would be very hesitant to back Russia in anything but perhaps the most clandestine ways (if at all).
I use Blue Iris. Cheap and easy.
Funny... after I read about the registers of (natural) languages, that reminded me of the "registers" of pipe organs, which are quite similar in a way: it's still the same instrument, but sounds different depending on what register(s) you use. Except that in English these are called "stops" for some reason (as in "pull out all the stops" - which in the programming sense introduced in the article would mean a wild mix of programming styles, probably not something you'd want to see). Oh, well...
Having low certainty on edge case predictions is fine, but it also should result in correspondingly larger updates when those edge-case predictions come true, which one had previously doubted. For me, that was the case with AlphaGo, AlphaFold, and now ChatGPT. In all three cases I was highly skeptical that, in my lifetime, AI would ever beat humans at Go, adapt the same architecture to problems like protein folding, and blow the Turing Test right out of the water.

I've had to update accordingly, and now I'm less skeptical that the barriers ahead will be harder to break than the ones behind us.
Why not just make your points and engage with its replies like everyone else does? No one gains anything from your attempts to get people to say what you want them to say so you can "gotcha" them.

High-tech R&D tends to be driven by domestic military interests, which were obviously on a short leash after 1945.

Even if Germany's brightest were not brain-drained to USA/USSR, they would not have much funding nor opportunity to pursue their advanced research in occupied Germany.
The cost of an IPv4 address is around $50. Annualized it's a few dollars. So, that's the baseline for where CGNAT makes financial sense.

That's a lot less than the cost of an Apple TV.
Canned seafood in olive oil, rice rice pasta, gluten free bread, potatoes, some veggies but not much, and I do not eat a lot, maybe 1800 calories a day.

The slink and a half boxed set
No, we won't. This is a common misconception amongst people who stopped reading about Brexit after it happened...the deal we got largely preserves access to the Single Market and will allow regulatory divergence.

I didn't mention trade deals. Exports outside the EU are up significantly, exports to the EU are above pre-Brexit levels but have continued to stagnate due to weak growth in the EU.

The massive misdirection argument is just...bizarre. I have no idea why people believe this...you see this literally every time the govt does anything good amongst people who seem to be terminally online.

NI issues have been solved due to the EU deciding that attempting to break up another country to reverse a democratic decision wasn't a great look. Independence in Scotland has never had a majority and still isn't particularly close to it. Military? Most EU countries do not spend the required amount by NATO (btw, this Galileo thing is some kind of bot online comment that I have seen elsewhere...Remainers are genuinely the biggest bot thinkers, "this is just a distraction", "Galileo", "where are the trade deals"...you are arguing with ghosts in your head).
The title makes it sound like those are mutually exclusive but I thought there was a bunch of services doing exactly what they are describing, all built on ChatGPT.

E.g. https://ingestai.io/
I will claim that the most important thing to understand about all three of the concepts in this article -- Fallibility, Asynchrony, and Iteration (as well as some that aren't discussed, but are to-me relevant, such as "Allocation: holds scoped resources" <- one I feel Rust and C++ reasonably-correctly assume every object / value might one day take part in) -- is that these are all monads (yes: including Iteration/List, which I think took me the longest to fully appreciate from the set of commonly-referenced monads); and, in a language with a more theoretically-sound core (aka, Haskell... and no: I am not a Haskell zealot by any means and in fact have wasted away most of my life for decades using C++ and Python), these "control-flow effects" (which is frankly a better name than "monad") are all supported using the same typeclass and rely on the same syntax, which not only ensures that every such "register" is correctly analogous with the others but even allows for end developers to extend the set of similar primitives without resorting to increasingly-fraught language modifications.
Just like how the Endangered Species Act creates a perverse incentive not to report any Bald Eagle nests or even drive off any special animals. Also a rent control law that caps increases to CPI +2% results in landlords taking the maximum increase every year in response to the loss of optionality.
asyncio is really not all about I/O though, despite the name. You can just as easily use it for concurrency by interleaving tasks with each other. You can imagine multiple UI elements that all need to make progress, and using coroutines to have them cooperatively yield to each other and not just have one element block progress everywhere else.

It's just using asyncio as a task scheduler, nothing more, nothing less. Maybe when you visit Pythonland you might instead be shocked in a more positive way :-)
Debian is pure + quality control. Arch is just pure.

Also I want to use Linux to solve problems, not create problems that need solving :)
Silly? Maybe. Fun? You bet!
My guess would be that Metrist made one or more API calls that failed within a time-slice (hopefully more than one failure). They then mark the entire day orange or red and compare it to AWS's green. Which is true, for the entire day their status symbol was probably green.

The AWS team has a hard challenge of reporting availability and deciding when a system is not green across dozens of API use cases per service, hundreds of services, hundreds of data centers, dozens of availability zones, and millions of clients.

Metrist has no visibility into services internal SLA, SLO, and SLIs. [1]

Thanks, this is very cool, I've been clicking around a lot! I like what you've got going, and I like how it has a resemblance to Rubocop.

My first feedback -

It's a little too many "clicks to code" given (1) how easy it actually is, and (2) aimed at developers.

Personally, I'd slap the `brew install` + `bear scan` on the initial landing page, just under the "Get Started" link. (with an "Other Installation Options" link, 'cuz brew)`. You do a pretty good job of this (the GIF) but I look at "clicks to code" as an indicator of how focused on ease-of-use the provider is, and you're more focused on it than the landing page suggests to me. (Sinatra is the reigning champ at this).

Next -

1. Pronto integration. I'd like to be able to plug it into things like Pronto, so we make sure we're not introducing new problems while we're not ready to deal with existing ones.

2. Github PR comments. It's not clear to me if the output of the GH action will create comments in a PR ala Pronto / Rubocop. It looks it probably does, so just show me a picture so I know for sure?

3. YAML option for recipes

4. I needed to upgrade to XCode 14.1 (from 14.0). Why was that necessary? Seems like it shouldn't be?

5. THANK YOU for providing links to source code from the docs! (I checked out a couple of rules). I would pick a couple of your favs and link to them from the "Custom Rule" page, too.

6. I'd definitely run a few from-scratch workshops for custom rules, recipes, etc; point people at the docs and ask them where they run into even the smallest friction. Your docs are really good but I did need to scroll and click around a bunch as I came to an understanding. Smoothing that out would be nice! (Think Rails Guides vs Rails Docs)
I keep getting told the #1 reason that Fuji Xerox printers die is the non genuine toners.

If that’s the case, is it evil to restrict cartridges to protect the image of your brand? If I was manufacturing enterprise printers, I would probably say no.

With manufacturers taking the absolute cheapest and minimum effort possible to manufacture things, and yet being nearly indistinguishable from the real deal online (think: all the dodgy portable hard drives on Amazon that are either just interfaces to SD cards or just fake), can you blame them?
I love this project!!

Ever since my partner and I discovered In Our Time a few years back, it’s been our go-to podcast to listen to together. Part of the allure is that the archive is so vast, but that makes it hard to browse.

My partner made her own archive of In Our Time here, if you’re interested:
https://shelby.cool/melvyn/

She used Wikipedia to find and categorize each episode. I also really like that she indexed episodes by guest, too. Certain guests are REALLY good and have been on many episodes.

Super excited to see someone else make an archive; we’ll definitely be exploring yours!
No it isn't!

If you don't care about money, and only care about telling other people what to do - money isn't your interest. Telling other people what they can and can't do is your interest.

You seem to be incapable of grasping that other people care about other things than money.

Thoughts and prayers to the engineers
If you talk to yourself a lot I'd recommend a pet to talk to instead. Externalize your self-talk and try to make it nicer. Use the pet to rubber duck solutions to life's problems.
The reason I submitted this was largely because of something mentioned early on in the article:

"When it comes to disinformation, the Pentagon should not be fighting fire with fire,” Chris Meserole, head of the Brookings Institution’s Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Initiative, told The Intercept. “At a time when digital propaganda is on the rise globally, the U.S. should be doing everything it can to strengthen democracy by building support for shared notions of truth and reality. Deepfakes do the opposite. By casting doubt on the credibility of all content and information, whether real or synthetic, they ultimately erode the foundation of democracy itself.”

This rang especially true to me. It's not really about whether its better or worse, but about the path that we're pursuing. The endgame of "information warfare" is not that people all believe you, but that nobody believes anything from anybody - including you.
Excellent! I'd love to see a script that sends a list of "descriptions" (1-100 words) to ChatGPT and directly gives you back a ready-made (embedding vectors closeness) map in a (textual) graph/chart format (like your above map or your plot https://interconnected.org/more/2023/02/in_our_time-PCA-plot...)
Google Groups basically destroyed all Usenet competitors and now is going belly up itself, likely taking down a large portion of computing history with itself.
Also I’m pretty sure it don’t add data dependencies! Only the the dependencies that retrigger the effect
Drop in insect and butterfly numbers has nothing to do with climate change. It is due to pesticides being pumped in unprecedented quantities into nature and monoculture agriculture.
Love the visual map. What does color mean? Any way to do a 3rd PC, and put the visualization in a cube one can toy around with?
This pattern (event -> state change -> effect run) is finally advised against in the new React docs: https://beta.reactjs.org/learn/you-might-not-need-an-effect

I suspect it won’t be long (if it isn’t already the case) that defacto run-length encoding is built into SSD firmware.

For testing if I'm in PostgreSQL I use pgTAP.

For version control I use git just as I do for other program units.
If they can't break up even one of the FAANG companies they have no chance at Microsoft. If they ever want to take out Microsoft they had better set precedent. Repeatedly banging their head against Microsoft would be a great way to pretend they want reform without ever delivering it.
And they always get it right, like cobalt in hip replacements.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing inherently.

It makes some degree of sense, but the problem is that there's many countries, usually third world, that sold their namespace off to a shady registrar like Freenom, usually to either try and give their disastrous economies a financial injection or to line the pockets of some corrupt government official. (Or as is often the case, both at the same time.)

There's no process in place to prevent that sort of thing from happening, and it's ultimately a bad outcome for all involved. It results in the ccTLD of a country with legitimate citizens getting a bad reputation for transmitting unreasonable amounts of spam (since Freenom gives it away to anyone who asks) and it often doesn't fix the economy of said country anyway.
Show HN: Rust 101 introduction with focus on topic summaries for newcomers
I think a big part problem here is that "understand X" is just a shorthand way to say "has an internal model of X" - but the degree and accuracy of said understanding depends entirely on the quality of that model.

Now there's a good reason to believe that ChatGPT does have such a model, based on the Othello experiment. But, firstly, the size of that internal model is inherently constrained by the size of the neural net, and I doubt that the limit is anywhere large enough to allow a truly accurate approximation of the real world.

And then on top of that, said model is created based on inferences from text only, which is several steps away from the original data (audiovisual, sensory etc), and one short snippet of text at a time. Some things retain meaning better in this format than others, and I think this might explain why ChatGPT and Bing are both hilariously bad at spatial navigation beyond 1-2 steps even in simple tasks.

It will be very interesting to see how this evolves as the models are scaled up and get large enough to handle things other than text.
> nobody at the low level cares.

Yup. It gets worse as that works its way up the chain:

> production is “moving along” so no one is bothering him.

"My ass is covered." I know people who DO NOT CARE how a job is done as long as it gets done. And it is really bad when that person is promoted into management as anything which makes production happen including overlooking quality and employee/training issues is acceptable to them. Even if lives are on the line. They think its a little nothing of a problem which will never bite them in the ass. And many get away with it all the time. The employees aren't stupid and will game this.

> So why would that VP care? Still bringing in the bank.

To be successful this would require a very highly polished set of monitors, otherwise common situations like alert flapping would end up spamming updates. Having a human in the loop increases latency but can also increase the quality of the communication.

In my opinion, what you want from statuspage depends on your product and how your customers are using it. Automation strikes me as plausible if your product is a well-defined set of APIs but it’s borderline impossible for a complex web app with many functions which each may or may not be critical. SLO alerts can work here but presuppose you have good SLIs. And capturing good SLIs for a complex product is a whole lot of work that small companies won’t prioritize. All of this is to say, there are downsides to automation that have nothing to do with the biz-side bullshit you’ve correctly noted.
How does Intel China coexist with Intel USA without proprietary information leaking out?
While most works of are re-combinations (up in the how many 9s after 99% region?), it is pretty hard to say that there has never been a new idea. Humanity has come from apes without art, up to modern digital art painted with lasers in the sky with drones.... From cave painting through Greek & Roman art, through Renaissance through modern art, and it's not merely new mediums for the same painting (and even so, "the medium is the message", so there's new stuff there). Same for music, text, etc...
> the sentiment still feels like it should be applied

The FTC doesn't operate based on sentiment. Even if the people who work on this have the same feelings they need to operate within laws.
It's never going to be enough for you people isn't it?
If climate change would be causing this then insects and butterfly would move into colder zones like many other animals and plants in fact do. Instead, they are disappearing everywhere. It is due to pesticides and monoculture agriculture.

Thanks for pointing that out! Since status pages are updated manually, we monitor actual functionality. We often see that pages functionally recover long before the status pages update that everything is in working order. Again, because it's manual and status pages are often more for marketing than development purposes.
And also we're in "Show HN" and may not be 100% perfect ;) but we stick to the above explanation :)
It seems to me like you're describing exactly the problem intersectionality describes; if you go back to Crenshaw's paper, it's just a series of cases where Black women were excluded as class representatives because the fact of their belonging in two separate disfavored categories meant that they wouldn't be accepted in either: they couldn't represent Black people because they were women and there was a male-female pay disparity, for instance, and they couldn't represent women because white women made more than Black men.

What you're saying seems to reinforce that case, not rebut it.
Show HN: Hack Investor Pitch Using ChatGPT
As an immigrant startup founder, I understand that it can be tough to pitch your vision to investors/customers if your native language isn't English.

So, I created www.chatsuggest.com that can help you speak more confidently using AI.

How it works: It transcribes live audio, and provides useful information to you in real-time using ChatGPT.

It's still very scrappy, but I hope it adds value to you. Whether it's helpful or not I'd love to hear about it.
So they don't have to send the API keys to the client, where they can be abused
