Dark patterns trick WhatsApp users to enable backups to Google and Apple. If you have them disabled odds are good the other side got tricked into them. Even if your backups are encrypted, it's using only a 64bit key. That means Five Eyes have near real-time access to your "encrypted" messages. Hell, I have to decline backups every time I use WhatsApp on my iPhone, yet after a phone reset all my messages were still there. They were gone in Signal for example. Is UK making a stink about it to lure bad people into a false sense of security? We all know why large US tech companies bought Skype (twice) back in the day. It's naive to think WhatsApp was bought for a different purpose.
> This is fantastic, classical music absolutely needs a dedicated interface since the organization by composer and multi-movement works is so different from popular music.

So this is true for how people organize popular music, but I can't help but think the classical music model is better and even pop music fans might benefit from having an information model for their music that is more in line with how classical music is organized.

Pop music seems to short-shrift the songwriters and other people who work in the background (at least when it comes to credit, if not always money). And some live-music focused acts, like jam bands, would probably seriously benefit from tracking performances in the same way. I know Phish fans, for example, usually end up tracking their favorite recordings, performances, and dates by filename in similar ways to classical music fans. And the models used by standard music and streaming applications don't fit them very well either.

1. your video demo's music is way too loud. blasted my apartment in the early morning and added nothing to the demo. i'd take a shitty loom video with your narration saying whats happening over this.

2. you'll have to overcome quite a lot of skepticism that this works beyond an initial demo. your video shows a very standard greenfield setup that doesnt really need AI to do. how does it handle more interesting change requests of an existing app? how does it handle fullstack changes? how does it handle design? if you could include sample output (or links to generated diffs) on your landing page you might start to deal with that cynicism.

3. how are you thinking about defensibility? if this works it can be easily copied.

4. beyond this, the business model challenge i would fear for you is this is really a use-once-and-done tool. 299/mo is not really high enough to sustain a biz for that. i guess you're very focused on making it a recurring need but you have your work cut out for you. good luck.
>Preaching the will of organization that condemns them while actively pursuing the condemned interests on public profiles?

Dougal: But Ted, preaching against one thing in public, while secretly doing it in private, that's hypocrisy!

Ted: No Dougal, I don't think so. Hypocrisy is just not something the Catholic church does, if we do something there's usually a good reason for it. Hypocrisy is something more for the common people, and you should strenuously preach against it!

Dougal: Oh OK, thanks for clearing that up Ted.

> Most streaming platforms will limit you to only "HD" content on L3 (as opposed to 4K on L1). On Netflix, this upper limit is 1080p (although it might depend on the specific content you're trying to watch?), but you are further limited to a mere 720p by default. For some reason, you can only get 1080p if your client asks nicely for it (at the protocol level), and there are browser extensions that do this for you automatically.

I for one don't mind too much this new pricing. I'm not ready to spend $10/mo in a search engine subscription, but $5/mo hits the spot for me. The only thing I'm not sure is if 200 searches per month is enough, I have no idea how many searches I do but 200 sounds pretty low. 1 search often ends up being 10 searches when you need to tweak the keywords or the quotes.
Is this due to C++ name mangling? I just had a flashback to the early 90s when I ran into that problem with Watcom C++ and Windows symbol loading, we had to resort to rewriting the exports and imports to shorter names just to be able to debug. Bad memories!
When you say “security through obscurity” there’s a certain understanding that we’re drawing a line between implementation secrecy (obscurity / obfuscation) and key secrecy. If we extend the word “obscurity” to include the notion of physical security, I think we’ve gone too far—even if physical security is just the physical security of a secret embedded in silicon that you have physical access to (because it is super difficult to recover secrets from silicon).

Completely agree with you, and I didn't mean it like that although I see it came across that way. I'm very in favour of these games being highly regulated.

I really just meant in the sense of "normal" gamers in general, for example I've got friends who bemoan how the latest game they just bought runs like crap on their high-end PC and I'll say "stop preordering games" and they'll come up with some poor excuse as to why preordering is not the reason for these issues.

They'll complain about Diablo Immortal but download it and buy at least the first couple of packs you get offered.
It is very easy if you read the gospels: its name is hypocrisy, nothing more.

You don't need to join an early-stage startup – as a mid-to-senior engineer, even if you only join places that are series-B or later you can still get equity packages that ultimately end up netting to >1MM/year with the kind of valuation growth that the successful companies in that profile see.

I think luck is a big part of it absolutely, I just don't think it's the only piece. But I also know that IME some engineers looking at new roles think about likelihood of company success way less than they should relative to "do I like the technology/culture/whatever" and so it is not surprising if they don't end up at successful companies.

Is migrating domains from Gandi to somewhere else easy/possible? I've had the same domain for years, I used to pay like $20 for five years, but then I forgot to renew, and because I let it expire for a few days, now they are charging me $100/year! Sour taste in my mouth about them even before this...
I could not agree more! I'm surprised at the resistance people have to this idea. I do my best thinking during idle downtime like showering, long drives, or aimlessly walking with my dog. I've always felt like ideas needed to percolate somewhere deep down in my mind, far away from the conscious parts, so that they could burst to the surface fully-formed when my mind had the resources to receive them. I think sitting in a room alone with my thoughts for 24h sounds fun! May give it a try.
Well this is quite the turn of events...

I am an atheist who grew up Catholic and I find I am incompatible with a lot of the secular world, when it comes to important values to live by. For example, what is marriage, what is love, what is the meaning/value of sex, to what extent is one prepared to sacrifice themselves for others, what is family, what is money, what role should charity play in society, what is a good life well lived, the relationship between the self and society, ...honestly so many aspects of the philosophy of life to consider.
I am not 100% in agreement with the official Church doctrine in all aspects, but then again no Catholic is. But I find myself much more at home with other people from a similiar background irrespective of whether they are still believers or not.

I suspect these gay Catholic find themselves in a similiar situation. They probably do not share much in common with the secular world.

Lots of people will immediately call this hypocrisy but they just have not put that much thought into it. There is more to life than sexual preferences.
> Someone working towards a phd in the final year of work shouldn’t be personally taking upon the baser weight and long term sustainability of society.

What if that's the correct selfish viewpoint on an individual level, but the wrong decision for overall society?

These are certainly some complex and nuanced issues, but just as a counterpoint, what if having a family is arguably the most important thing that somebody capable of completing a PHD likely does? Unless a PHD invents some important new technology that transforms humanity (and most PHDs probably don't get anywhere close to that level of contribution), the most likely valuable contribution they could make to the world comes with having large families, being a pillar for the community, and helping guide their children well. Successful families are the foundation for a stable and prosperous long-term future.

Idiocracy presented a very satirical look at the future that emerged from the smart people being too focused on education and careers over actually maintaining the society they were given. We all see the news stories coming out where there's the claim that average IQ rates are dropping, right? OP might not be able to solve that problem on his own, but if every PHD candidate made the same decision to put off family, maybe society eventually gets into some trouble.

> I've been wondering lately whether a new spatial approach can yet again simplify matters.

This is indeed the case! Rust's borrow checking is the first step towards "regions", a more general and more flexible model. TL;DR: We convey to the compiler that a certain set of objects are conceptually in the same region, and then we can turn immutable the entire region at once.

Pony and Forty2 [0] first came up with them, and Vale is building them into the language as first-class citizens and blending them with borrow-checker like semantics [1] to eliminate memory safety overhead.

It helps us do patterns that more traditional borrow checking has trouble with: observers, dependency references, delegates, callbacks, some forms of RAII, and intrusive data structures. This is mostly because regions get a lot of the borrow checker's benefits while still allowing mutable aliasing.

Every week, my family goes offline for the Sabbath. Not just 24 hours of doing nothing, but 25 hours of no technology. If it's on, it's on. If it's off, it's off. We've been successfully doing this for 20 years. It was a hard transition initially, as neither my partner nor I grew up in that type of religious home. However we opted into this level of observancy because it helped us feel free, gain control of some aspects of our life, and not be bound to the 24/7 cycle.

It's not always easy, and when there are holidays overlapping the Sabbath, making it 49 hours, that can sometimes be grating.

That said, we find fulfillment in long walks, community meals, board games, books, sitting around and lazing about, etc.

During these times, i do have amazing conversations (and arguments) with my family. And the space created for us is so rare these days. I can't imagine life with out our weekly ritual.
It's very much a unique and artistically sound game, but geeze that aesthetic really wore on me to the point of physical fatigue. I suspect it was in part because of the crisp screen I played on (heavy contrast of light and dark). It was hard on my eyes, and the gameplay mechanic of "elminate the suspects" wore on me in an entirely different way. In the end, I respect the work, but I certainly can't recommend it broadly.
In terms of freedom of using compute devices, RMS has a point.

In terms of freedom of using media, I'm less annoyed by Spotify or Netflix than I am by "purchases" of media that have DRM. It's clear that one is renting with the streaming services, but Amazon can revoke permission for me to read books I have purchased or Valve can revoke permission for me to play games I have purchased, we are truly living in a dystopia.
> that operator does nothing a chart couldn't do.

Or is can be actively harmful when they don't do any error checking whatsoever, causing it to be less accurate that `helm template` would be. Related, it's also one more thing to monitor because it can decide to start vomiting errors for whatever random reason
Yea I'm totally with you! In fact, when I started Second, I was resisting GPT-3, and had planned on using a pure deterministic compiler. However, through a lot of experimentation, I discovered that the OpenAI code edit APIs, when using a temperature value of 0 (deterministic) provides shockingly good and fairly consistently results. I found that I get the best results when combining my deterministic compilers with GPT-3

The cool thing about Second is that the handoff between bot and human is GitHub. In the tool today, changes are committed directly to the repo, however very soon the default behavior will be pull requests. This is great because it gives engineers the opportunity to see the diffs and make tweaks before merging in.
An SSH tunnel is my strategy as well. The only internet port I have open is an OpenBSD sshd with a low privilege chroot'd user, SSH key auth only.

I tunnel from my Android device using an SSH client app. The only port open to HA is localhost on the client.

Anyone know how this relates to what Modular is building? (I gather Chris Lattner had been involved with XLA while at Google.)
The question of whether I'd attempt to decipher the code depends on whether I believe it would be intellectually engaging to do so. In the case of a code, yes, that probably requires that the code encodes something meaningful.

But it's not hard to think of structures where interesting patterns emerge without the structure having externally imbued meaning (or at least, it would be terribly difficult to prove that it does). Game of Life would be such an example: it's a structure that arises from some simple logical rules, there is seemingly no meaning behind it, but it produces interesting patterns that many people have studied extensively.
And Android and QT and GTK and Chrome and Firefox and etc...

The article is talking about the same generic hybrid GPU-accelerated rendering architecture that everything uses. Seemingly the only "new" part is "in Rust!"
From the video, Second looks more like a UI wrapped over a boilerplate generators that have existed for quite a while. It's a pretty powerful one, and that can be very useful in itself but how is AI involved here? If it is, was it needed in the first place? I was expecting the inputs to be more along, "give me an app to manage a restaurant", but the inputs are modules (Forgot password, billing), which are generic pieces of software. For $299/month, it sounds like a very expensive deal to me.

Yea! So the idea is for the free Starter plan to provide basic web application configuration to help get you started. Kind of like a starter kit on steroids.

The Pro plan will give you access to a lot more feature modules, like subscriptions, forgot password flows, data tables, CRUD pages, etc. To be fully transparent, most of the Pro plans are not implemented yet (I just started building Second two months ago!). But I'm working with early customers and their use cases to build those out.
Palm tree is not very useful for structural wood.
I've been using it to give it the rulesets or general concepts to video games I'm designing and asking it for ideas for special powers or cards, or providing it with an overall theme and asking it to generate ideas for how to apply that theme to the ruleset or game concept. It provides a lot of junk ideas, but enough useful ideas that I keep asking it. Something another game designer said that I agree with is that it's 'about the same as a playtester tossing out a random idea.'

You have to evaluate it to see if it fits your goals, and work out the details and prototype and playtest it, but sometimes just seeing those ideas can get you unstuck or enhance the design or spark another idea which works even better. And some of those ideas I know I would never think of, and probably never get them from a playtester, so I'm thankful for them.

Also used it recently when my wife was feeling stuck in the motivations for certain people in her book, I gave it a paragraph overview and asked it to come up with motivations and it provided quite a few, including about six or seven we had previously tossed around and discussed. She was skeptical beforehand but was more impressed afterwards, in particular because it provided a bit of validation that the ideas we were tossing around weren't bad ideas.

Just this morning I asked it for what tools within Azure cloud tech to use for accomplishing a programming task, and the information it provided me seemed a bit more useful than me asking other experienced users in our organization as well as a few videos and articles I read (because it was able to provide an idea more directly applicable to our specific use case). Even provided some sample code.
This sounds like a fun opportunity to push boundaries.

There are several binaries-on-Usenet-esque projects on GitHub to push e.g. yEnc-encoded chunks to Reddit & Twitter.

So we just need a few people with unlimited bandwidth via another ISP to act as exit nodes and code to get this madness to hook into a tun interface.
To be fair, a lot of modern games over simplify controls for a large variety of gameplay elements. I think its an expectations thing. The closest games I played that share Outer Wilds control complexity are the original Lunar Lander, Solar Jetman, and Space Engineers.
