Research the advertised job description on those 19000 hires about to be dismissed. When the B-52 hasn't changed in fundamental design over 50-years and an Accenture-rep talks with AviationWeek on a podcast about the numbers in production better left to A.I. I scratch an itch.
So your code will keep on working as good as it ever did. I fail to see the problem with that.

Not Use Path Based Imports
Some programming language like JS, use path-based imports, that's not good for making a stabel API.

Big oof from an ops standpoint. How is a key like this ever accessible to an operator in unencrypted text form?

Funny enough, given that every person (and every bit of tooling) I know blindly approves SSH public key verification anyways, they will likely not even notice this switch.
I was pointing out the self-own: that your stated position motivates an outcome orthogonal to your values.

Which of course implies that I successfully inferred your accelerationist libertarianism from context. :)
Rather, you're not arguing using coherent logic, you're making a series of logic-ish maneuvers that yield persuasive emotional appeals -- which, yes, is perfectly valid rhetoric-work, provided you haven't taken a knife to a gunfight.

You say you're 'arguing between the lines.' Do you code between them, as well?
I also believe this is going to the case. The past decade apple has positioned itself as a privacy focused + good hardware company. The next is going to be offline AI + privacy + good hardware & I am already sold to the idea.
I am not at all trying to present it as a positive development. SURE, living in a high-trust society is a blessing. Both emotionally - it is nice being able to trust people and be trusted by default - but also economically, because it vastly reduces friction in doing business. In Russia yes, main consideration is building a set of conditions (frequently with external checks, escrows, etc) to make sure you won't be duped - that frequently takes more energy than it takes to actually get the job done. For this reason, i don't deal with any Russian speaking clients, for example, it's simply not worth it. I am all on the side of high-trust.

Thing is, it's not the case. The world outside of a narrow circle of rich, white, Protestant countries has never been like this, and those countries too, are losing it because of changing racial composition, and immigration from low-trust cultures. And in a global world, high-trust groups are simply being taken advantage of.
Hey, that's great! I was a Readlang subscriber for a few months last year and often had the thought "why isn't this better?". It even has a place on my (long, cluttered) list of potential ideas to work on. So I'm happy it will be revived and improved!

Also, here's the note from my list on what I wished Readlang would do: "check out how News in Slow Spanish (newsinslowspanish.com/) turns each word into a hyperlink. Hovering over it gives you an instant popup. This is a way better experience than Readlang, which requires you to click each word to get its translation."
I’m afraid I don’t have any sources at hand, but I believe Naturskyddsföreningen were involved (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation).

> Afro-Asiatic and Eurasian have a common ancestor about 10,000 BC.

> This is a really old word that appears to have a common root and got borrowed back into French by accident... but that it got borrowed back by accident is because of its really old common ancestor.

If you think there's a relationship between the Latin and Syrian words, you wouldn't seek to explain it by common ancestry from 10,000 BC. No linguistic relationship exists at that temporal distance. You would either say that the word was borrowed from one language into the other (common in general; hard to say if it happened here), or that they are similar through pure coincidence (also common).

> Afro-Asiatic and Eurasian have a common ancestor about 10,000 BC.

You should know that that is a hypothesis; there is no evidence for it other than the assumption that all languages ultimately share a common origin.
Yes, with ssh you don't use CAs, or certificates at all; just raw asymmetric keys. It does support certificates with all their bells and whistles though, just nobody does really...
When I was younger, I was walking through the NorCal redwoods with my family. It was a clear and crisp day, maybe 65F. I strolled ahead of the group by 30 or 40 feet, lost in thought, but enjoying the dim light and the smell of pine needles and duff. After a few minutes along the trail, I began to smell something else. It was...musky. Foreign to the place. A few minutes more and I realized I was smelling human.

Sure enough, we caught up to a slower group. After we passed them, the smell was gone. I'll never forget it.

Best practice is to forget everything you ever learned in a 101 class. And don’t bring logic to a word fight.
Maybe your own experience isn't enough to judge, then. In my own experience, mostly only fringe religious people go to private schools for example, but where I live today private schools are much more common (although just about equivalent to public ones).
The funny thing is that you actually didn't do it by searching for an actual space—you would search for an underscore, and they would convert it to a space after checking if the input is empty, but before trimming, so...
Ten years ago, I taught myself programming. My first steps were strictly-speaking not programming, they were HTML and CSS. I then moved into programming proper through the study of Javascript, and then Python. This was all in the context of web applications, so the JS was front-end, and the Python was geared towards the dominant web framework in that language: Django.

I loved reading about programming, and I would haunt the programming section of my local bookstore. Despite many beginners book being available at the time, I really struggled with the basics, which I felt were not always explained. For example, why are the names of the parameters of a function not always the same as the names of variables passed as argument to that function? There's a lot of stuff that I learned simply by plugging through these books, but often I had to keep reading while leaving lots of question marks in my mind.

I also felt many books were filled with brain teaser type of examples, such as solving the Tower of Hanoi, and these examples did not appeal to me as a beginner. As an experienced programmer I also think these examples create the wrong impression about what programming is about: not solving puzzles with code, but expressing mental models through code that is easy to understand.

I've been working as a programmers for ten years now: eventually moving to system programming with Rust, and becoming involved with open-source software.

The past month, I had a bit of extra time, and I thought: why not write the beginner book I wish I had when I first started ten years ago?

Some of things I tried to achieve:

Explain everything from the ground-up, as if talking to someone with no experience or prior interest in computers.

Show what programming is about: mixing and matching existing code, and ensuring your own code is easy for others to mix and match.

Start with the absolute basics, but finish with concurrency, because I think it's an important type of programming for the future(because of multi-core machines), and I also think an absolute beginner can learn about it.

The book, entitled "Python for Youngsters(And Anyone Else Who Wants to Learn Programming)", comes in the form of a series of articles:

Foreword: Programming in the Age of Artificial Intelligence(https://medium.com/python-for-children-and-anyone-else-who-w...).

Part 1: Variables, Functions, and Classes(https://medium.com/python-for-children-and-anyone-else-who-w...)

Part 2: Lists, Sets, Dictionaries, and Iteration(https://medium.com/python-for-children-and-anyone-else-who-w...)

Part 3: Processes and Concurrency(https://medium.com/python-for-children-and-anyone-else-who-w...)

That's it!
AGI is not human intelligence. Cats are generally intelligent for example. A cat level AGI is worth billions.

Humans certainly have context windows. Try asking your CEO about some lines of code in your work. Humans have a fairly large one, I give you that and it is fuzzy.
It's so insane. It should be three exact opposite. If you hold public office, the punishment should be amplified not reduced or outright impossible. IMO if a judge gets caught even for a minor offense like shoplifting, they should get a year in prison and lose their job. If cops steal from suspects, manufacture or plant evidence they should look at the death penalty. The impact of the crime when committed by an official goes way beyond the immediate damage since it undermines the entire system. A cop being exposed as corrupt is much more harmful to the system than a private individual vomiting a murder. The punishment needs to be in accordance with that.
If something in the mixture is potentially hazardous then it goes to mean it should be listed in the SDS?

Maybe on initial connect, but who TF ignores that "key has changed danger danger, high voltage" warning? You at least look around and ask a colleague?

The issue is that on some machines, the video-out ports go through the dGPU. Does that still work if the card is disabled in the BIOS?

The old unibody MacBook Pro comes to mind as an example of this.
It could be worse, the user has the old rsa host key present alongside newer ed / ecdsa keys, they may never rotate out the rsa one. A future mitm simply only advertises the rsa key, and mitm passes.

Users will need to actively remove the old rsa key in order to be safe. It's my first question, and a colleague suggested that they believe that the private key was not seen, however, I don't see that in the post - unless I'm missing it - and I really want this stated very clearly somewhere.
No. Democrats run away from the accusations of being supporters of "defund the police" by Republicans, by increasing funding for the police.

There is no major party in the United States advocating for police reform.

What the... That's not "an abundance of caution". That's the only possible course of action.
if you read the mailing list, you know there’s a lot of reasons. Linus hates out of tree and closed modules for quite a number of reasons- but in this specific context it seems the most relevant.
Someone at GH was using Copilot DevOps and prompted "How would you go about compromising the integrity of all open source software?", obviously.
A few years ago I had a medical procedure that entailed not eating for 2 or 3 days - just drinking water. By the end of that fasting period, my sense of smell was immeasurably heightened, and could definitely smell the differing fragrance of other humans walking along the streets.
That's only going to solve the problem of incorrect facts. I have seen it make logical mistakes as well and having access to external services will not solve that problem.

As an example, I once asked it to show me the diff between two revisions of the code it was writing an it made something that looks like it might be a valid patch but did not represent the difference between the two versions.

Of course this specific problem could be fixed with a simple plug-in that runs the unix diff program but that wouldn't fix the root-cause, and i would argue that providing a special-case for every type of request is antithetical to what AI is supposed to be since this effectively is how alpha and Google already work.
Maybe their new copilot made this rookie mistake
Yes, it's been stagnant for so very long that I, and I suspect most users, have learned the very few things that it can do reliably, and no longer even try to do something more sophisticated. If it became more capable, it might take a long while for most users to even notice, because we have stopped hoping it will pleasantly surprise us.
That’s not that hard tbh. So many attacks.
You're absolutely right. It's absurd to frame it this way.

Do they expect people to think "Wow, Github leaked a key, but even without knowing if anyone snagged it, they're still replacing it. Wow, they go above and beyond."

It's so ridiculous.
Feel like FTC could scrape HN and get a pretty good idea of some of the tomfoolery happening in cloud computing, e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35209497.

Also, some of the current security risks may not be great to broadcast to the entire public. Wonder if there is a way to submit some stuff w/o labeling it fraud or jeopardizing existing customers any further.

Dumb bugs: When a date breaks booting the kernel
Definitely possible. A cool idea. But that’s also a lot of credit for “big tech”. Meta, Google, Netflix, and others have produced almost nothing cool for a decade. Apple is one of the few behemoths seemingly capable of actually getting any real work done, so you’re right they’ll be a big contender. Smaller players have less capital, but a lot less blockers too. They can take real risks, move faster, and don’t have all the bottlenecks that come with having 50,000 employees.
We have PR only, squash merge and “must have a linked work item” set up on our default branches.

It’s not to protect our default branches from our co-workers. It’s to protect them from ourselves. I work in a small team in a non-tech enterprise organisation, and each of our smaller code-bases tend to be mainly worked on by one person. Since the things are interconnected as stuff is today, I’ll sometimes add some react bits to our major front-end app that one of my coworkers have written 90% off, and sometimes he will add new controllers or features to one of the back-end services that I have build. In those cases, the strict default branch policies have never been an issue. Most of the time I’ll approve a Pull Request from my co-workers without reviewing anything, exactly because I trust them.

What I don’t trust is for myself to not cut-corners and not alter the default branch, or especially, to create a work-item on the DevOps board for what I think is a minor fix. I don’t trust myself to do that, because sometimes, I still turn the default branch rules off when I need to tinker because the red tape is annoying. Which is fine, until it isn’t, and the more times it isn’t the more I come to respect the red tape we’ve installed to protect us from ourselves.
> The issue is that on some machines, the video-out ports go through the dGPU. Does that still work if the card is disabled in the BIOS?

Traditionally yes; the machine is designed to only run the dGPU under heavy load, not all the time, the BIOS setting just disables doing the thing that you did in the "heavy load" condition. I guess there might be machines it wouldn't work on but I've never known any.
This is exactly the kind of problem ChatGPT is good at solving. Just ask it and you will get theories. I asked and it gave a list, I think he talked about
uncertainty reduction theory since the other things ChatGPT listed didn't make sense in this context.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_reduction_theory

Edit: Not sure if that response is really correct, but at least it is a tractable way to try to approach this. ChatGPT let you fuzzy match words or theories much better than Google, and then you have things you can Google.
Poetic justice, eh?
So... uh... why was their private key in a form that could be stored in a Git repo? In the old days, we used to put private keys in hardware co-processors that would never reveal an un-encrypted private key. I guess we don't do that anymore.
It's even dumber than that. You're legally allowed to remember what people say to you. You're also legally allowed to go write down what someone just said to you; when you do that, it magically becomes much stronger evidence.

But you can't record it; that's not evidence at all.

Hyper casual games are around 300Mb these days, proper AAA games are multiple GB. People still download those, as you can tell by the billions of dollars they make.

The problem with OpenAI's business model is that it's actually quite expensive for them to maintain centralised processing. With Apple, there are billions of very powerful computers deployed to users and these computers mostly stay idle apart from occasionally running some bloated JS to show a button ar something. If Apple manages to run a good enough model on device with acceptable performance and energy impact, then suddenly OpenAI and Microsoft will be just burning away money with no expectation of recouping if they provide the service for free, if they make it paid they will be making money in a niche.
> Doesn't that reinforce the parents' point that (…)

I don't see how it would. The reasons why a country with 1/10th the GDP and 10x more corruption still manages to complete their subway projects 10x quicker at 1/10th the cost is totally orthogonal to whether it's a vanity project or not, or with which group will use it most.

> it must be some environmental/organizational difference.

indeed, it very much is. And for that matter: a construction project ordered by an autocratic dictator in a corrupt second-world country has inherently a much higher probability of being finished in time and within budget than a nominally comparable project in a democratic first world country. It may later turn out to be of totally shitty quality or cause lots of other problems (e.g. safety, environmental, etc) because quality and other standards were sacrificed to the priority of meeting the will of the dictator/party, but when a totalitarian ruler gives an order, people feel they better comply quickly.

A totalitarian state that doesn't give a shit about your rights, the environment etc, can more easily just evacuate or disown everyone who lived in the planned line or area, whereas in a first-world democratic country the construction will be hindered by lawsuits (both for their legitimate right and for nimbyism, particular interests etc). Same for the environment: In Germany, these days, there's almost no large-scale construction project that isn't severely slowed down by activists because (true or false) the project is suspected to harm the habitat of some rare protected species. It drags through the courts, Experts have to evaluate the situation, solutions may have to be found (sometimes very costly), etc.

In a totalitarian country, all of that doesn't exist. The environment is just totally meaningless compared to the will of the dictator or party. Finally, it's not just the rights, legal, environmental and social standards that are much more complicated (and in consequence, costly and slowing things down) in developed democratic countries, but pretty much all standards, including for everything related to the building project. So yeah, a totalitarian state is total shite, but its leadership has waaay fewer obstacles to getting their construction project done in time and within budget.
Doesnt that answer your question? If humans vision benefits are so good, and being close to the ground is bad, then the need for a strong sense of smell is greatly reduced.

Introduction to VSS Library
I haven't noticed any difference between an i5-8500 with its integrated GPU and my gaming PC with an RX5000 something. Both running latest windows and edge.

They actually feel similar to Firefox running on Linux on an i5-6500's IGP.

It probably depends on the websites you visit. The only thing better on the newer ones is video decoding for YouTube or the like. I usually actively avoid websites with animations and other similar stuff as I find them very unpleasant to use. But I've noticed those typically tend to use the CPU, even on a Zen3 or Intel 11th gen IGP, even on Windows + Edge.
Depends on the details, but pick an AWS location near your DC. And/or pick a DC location near AWS.
One problem here ... it needs to come with a huge caveat: this is much more a theoretical discussion than necessarily a practical one.

This is to say, it's possible for a problem the best P algorithm we can find takes n^(10^82) time while the NP algorithm we can find is say (1.00000000.....(10^82 zeroes)... 1)^n. For any practical number the NP algorithm will be faster. (I used 10^82 because it's the approximate number of atoms in the observable universe.)
