Hard for me to be objective about this so I believe you. I'm sure there's emotions there.
There is a consistency in Republican attitudes towards government: they trust the parts of government they feel they control and wish to destroy the parts they fear they do not control. Lionize the police and the military. Kill the EPA , NOAA, HUD, the IRS, and the FDA. The only time they hate law enforcement is when it is used to enforce a law against them, see Waco, Ruby Ridge, the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, etc. And then boy do they hate it, because they see this as disloyalty, as treason.

This attitude goes way back. It is characterological. See the Fugitive Slave Act versus states' rights.

The fact that it can now use tools (e.g. a calculator) for whatever task that needs precision, closes the AGI loop. It doesn't need to be "sentient" to automate the process of _thinking_.

Or just punish them according to law and make it impossible for someone with a criminal record to work in the field (at least for a certain time, depending on the severity of the crime, someone that shoplifted once at the age of thirteen should probably still be able to become a cop).

This is not verifiable, right? As the authentication method has no public and required revocation source, and given that the key, if having leaked, likely will be acquired by an authoritarian government, they can selectively MITM organizations and users that are not aware of this blog post.

It's not that I fear being obsolete within the period of time I'd stay at this job naturally. And definitely don't fear being laid off, though my employer is doing some layoffs right now and hasn't announced it. It's that I don't want to be working towards advancing my career in a direction that I don't see being very relevant in the long term. Relevancy and meaning in my work is important to me. And to clarify, I think product management will stay relevant for a long time, just not the software I'm building or how it's being built where I work.

I will likely pivot to something close to product management, maybe closer to solutions engineering (which I've done before). Something slightly more hands-on in terms of using the tooling we're seeing today, but not so hands-on that I'm programming all day.

How do you feel about Hunter Biden's _laptop from hell_ which was touted by the media as Russian disinfo but in recent months the media has in fact confirmed it's not Russian disinfo. It contains by some counts over 1,000 crimes committed by Hunter, his father, his uncle and close confidants.

I may not like the source or how facts are shown but it's very hard to look away from the train wreck.
I'd have thought there would be some kind of loose standards that come with the combination of economies of scale and provisions for options for consumers when it comes to existing larger players in the space.

Eg, I know some laptop manufacturers offer a choice of a few different display options when configuring builds - so framework choosing the display form-factor of a popular one could be an instant win for modularity.

On the other side, there are so many companies that would never really make it without a lifeline that extends into the hundreds of millions. Even after IPO, there are so many companies losing heaps of money. So maybe Google just doesn't want to be losing $100M a year for 10 years.
If they were a company about infrastructure products, or they were using GPT-4 to manage their infrastructure, I'd weight that more heavily ;)
I don’t know, I think knowing what algorithmic complexity is is really important, the problem is that all too many people just memorized that bubble sort is O(n^2) without understanding.

Also, the reason why profiling is imo not good enough is that you really shouldn’t even try to write an implementation with a known-to-be “slow” algorithm at the designed input size. For that, understanding O-notation is essential.
I purchased their Illegal Chips series [1], because I'm weird like that. They had partnered with Good Mythical Morning's Josh Scherer to make the fugu flavor. I did get finished products - the horse meat and maggot cheese ones didn't taste like anything wild, like normal bbq and cheese flavors. But fugu was actually really cool in my opinion. I've also see their Big Red Boot [2] while watching wrestling. I believe MSCHF was also behind the Eat the Rich Ice Cream bars [3].

Overall, its a limited edition designer brand "art collective". But they've consistently released their products. Thinking about the TurboTax workflow, it doesn't sound outlandish for MSCHF to contract a game company to make the same thing with an anime school background and cartoon avatar to guide the process.

Got it from an independent license vendor (https://www.license4you.de/windows-11-pro-neu?number=ID-1005..., but there's several).

I have no idea how they get the keys (probably OEM) and whether this is actually kosher (and I don't wanna know) but I did this with Win 10 some years ago as well and it has worked out thus far.

Just pay with e.g. PP and they'll send you the key via e-mail.
I shall attempt to be more clear.

There's a certain narrative to downplay the actual restrictions that were here in Sweden, often in articles opposed to stricter restrictions elsewhere, even justifiably opposed.

This article is one of them.

Thing is, there is no need to downplay that Swedish government authorities did actually close down quite a few things - far beyond what the article lists - and no need to claim that the other changes which occurred were "voluntary."

The overall conclusion would still be the same - the restrictions by the Swedish authorities were nowhere near as strict as in other countries, yet without disastrous consequences.

More importantly, it wouldn't come across like the author trying to pull a fast one via a dishonest comparison, which the paper's readership wouldn't recognize as being dishonest.

If they can't get the easy parts right, why should I trust them with the hard parts?

As I concluded in my previous comment: I'm very glad the situation here wasn't like the UK's stay-at-home orders. But to characterize it as only "a ban on gatherings of over 50 people and a few rules for restaurants" where all other changes were voluntary is someone trying to sell you something shady.

The ECDSA key hasn't changed. As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, the official command `ssh-keygen -R github.com` is incomplete -- it doesn't remove IP address entries, they need to be removed manually. What you got was a conflict between the ECDSA key and the old RSA key left over in ~/.ssh/known_hosts (the error message was unclear).

Since GitHub's IP address is not stable, I suggest disabling the IP-checking feature using

Host github.com
CheckHostIP no

The CheckHostIP feature is pretty useless anyway, it just gives a warning when the IP changes and gives a better diagnostic message if the key and IP both change at the same time (references: https://serverfault.com/questions/1040512/ssh-how-does-the-o..., https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/285520/why-does-ssh...).

I'll take the other side of this. We have this concept of applications being "well behaved" if they only read and write from parts of the filesystem that users expect. The XDG directories are what most linux and macOS users expect, even if they don't know about the standard. This well-behavedness feeds into the larger idea of high quality software. Hiqh quality means users are more likely to recommend it, engineers are more likely to respect the application's authors, etc.

The problem with this is that it's all socially enforced, but it's not a social problem, it's a technical problem. The issue isn't that we haven't put enough pressure on developers to read the correct environment variables. It's that we have such a poor isolation story on UNIX that we have to care about where applications read and write from, rather than letting them do whatever they want in a sandbox.

Many of the open source docker images are on the right track here. Where does the persistent state go? /data. Where does the configuration go? /config. Where does the cached data go? /cache. All in the most obvious places right at the filesystem root. Those applications would be considered "badly behaved" outside the container, but inside, it's much easier to predict what they will do.

Ask HN: How to become a great CS teacher for youngsters?
I am going to teach Computer Science to a group of young students, 20-30 motivated people aged 10-25 on a volunteer basis in my village without the experience of being a teacher. The task that I set for myself is to reveal to young people all the possible areas of computer science in 10-15 lessons and then divide them into smaller groups according to their interests, after which only occasionally monitor their progress. This set of lessons is going to be much broader than CS50, with much more demonstrating of electronic stuff, but with almost no homework. Because I suppose that no programming language should be mandatory to everyone but you know, everyone should know what is a bit, what is a code, and how long is a way of light travelling for one millisecond.

What should I watch out for in these classes that are aimed at everyone? What, on the contrary, is not worth mentioning despite the temptation? How early should I show things like: systems programming, functional programming, declarative programming? How much to give discrete mathematics? At what stage should I give Lisp, C, JavaScript or Python, Wolfram Alpha? What names do I need to mention besides Claude Shannon, Alan Turing, Linus Torvalds and von Neumann? And last but not least, what should I do about the fact that I have never used smartphones (iPhone/Android) and I have no interest in them, when the vast majority of my students will only have such a "computer"?

Here are few books I am going to start from, but I have a strong feeling that a lot of CS topics are missing in the list:

Charles Petzold - Code (mandatory)

Paul Graham - Hackers and Painters (mandatory for younger students)

Alan Cooper - The Inmates Are Running the Asylum (mandatory)

Steven Strogatz - The Joy Of X (mandatory for younger students)

Fred Brooks - The Mythical Man-Month

Linus Torvalds - Just For Fun

https://missing.csail.mit.edu/ (mandatory for advanced students)

Don Knuth - TAoCP volume 1

I think when you're advanced enough to have been a professional musician the criticisms of classical theory are more useful than when you're struggling to produce or reproduce music you enjoy, or even recognize what theoretical underpinnings other people are using. Learning about electron orbits is pretty useful to recognize basic chemistry stuff - going straight to quantum theory is probably not a good way to learn.

Ask HN: Trauma has broken me. Nothing has worked. Alternatives to suicide?

Trying to lose weight, fix my sleep, sharpen my cognitive abilities, in addition to managing a marriage within the context of my emotional instability is a Herculean task I have failed time and time again.

I believe that "there are no good cops" is a reasonable and useful shorthand for a complex situation, yes.

Capricious violence, racism, and corruption are so endemic to american policing that every cop is either an active participant, or aware of specific instances and complicit in this lawlessness. The internal culture of policing enforces this through peer pressure, hazing, and threats and violence if necessary. Good people can become police but they can't stay police: they ultimately either warp their morals to conform to this system or leave it entirely.

Considering this a problem of individual cop incompetence is naive honestly. This "problem" is so widespread, so universal, that you can't understand the role of police in society without accounting for it. They aren't incompetent and failing at their job: this is their job! Terrorism against the dispossessed is an important part of what they do, and they are doing it.
