Ask HN: Looking for good online privacy/safety guides for beginners
I am trying to find a good guide (either online or a small book) that i can recommend people in my immediate family to read and implement to cover 90 % of the case.

Ideally i would want one guide geared towards older people, mainly covering way to detect scam calls and phishing email and the likes.
And one for teenagers about online safety and information sharing.
Stellantis is an old auto-manufacturer that collected a ton of less-than-stellar car brands by reputation, probably drowning in their own bureaucracy and cruft.

Looking at all their current car offerings, most are overpriced and absolutely none are exciting/innovative. Unless you're a die-hard jeep enthusiast. Maybe.

This is a plain answer to justify the fact that their products are bad value at the current price, a company/leadership failure, nothing more.
Looks like angle sum identity.

cos(x+y) = cos(x)*cos(y) - sin(x)*sin(y) (always)
~ cos(x)*1 - sin(x)*y (if y small)

Can't speak for the validity of small angle assumptions though.
I mean, Toyota has said this themselves. Their view is that making 1,000,000 hybrids is better than 1,000 evs because most of an evs battery capacity is wasted on a daily basis.
> for a former president and polarizing figure, you would think the bar on prosecution would be air tight.

This i the crux I think - It's clearly a crime, but should he be held accountable or not due to notoriety? personally, I think public figures (especially politicians) should be held to a higher standard than mere-mortals; but many seem to believe the opposite.

You don't want your <insert political candidate> arrested/prosecuted? Don't elect a morally ambiguous one then. Higher standards, not lower.

OK, so we have languages for nearly every niche now; Zig has it's allocator thing and goes with C very well, Go has goroutines and channels and CSP, Python has data science, Java has support/libraries for everything, etc.

Let me suggest a new one: a language which is top-dog in it's language interoperability. Imagine a language that can do nearly nothing except glue together code from other languages. Maybe you want to call some Java code from some Go code from some Nim code from some Python code from your C program: this language would do that for you somehow.
This has been the case for over a century. The history of the NYPD is actually wild: it was originally two different police organizations who would regularly get into fights with one another. This was itself the result of a power struggle between the city and the state.

The public do care, though - in fact, it's why the Democratic Party base was more or less calling for a total purge of police departments. It wasn't because they want to be able to crime with impunity or because they want The Purge IRL. It's because a good chunk of them live in a city where the police force is a only few steps away from being the deep state.
If it's like Li-Ion, that's full discharge and charge cycles, not every top off. So if these batteries are sufficiently higher capacity, it might make up for the difference. 200+ charges is enough if each charge lasts 2x longer or more.
Like big oil, it sounds like there is enough "infrastructure" out there that allows them to move the price fixing to third party companies that "recommend" prices for stuff.

privacy.com

It's free and it works. I've been using it for years to create unique credit cards. You can set a limit on spending, and you can close the card whenever you want.

Furthermore, on those forms that ask for your PII as well as the credit card, you can give whatever name & address you want. Those aren't verified. (Of course, if they're actually going to mail something to that address, it's another matter, but often the "shipping address" is separate.)

As a police officer, you swear an oath to uphold the US Constitution. If you believe a law is unconstitutional, you have an obligation to not enforce it. I know, that kind of autonomy and trust is foreign to non-USAers, but that's why this country is great.

What crime, or type of crime, would you consider it OK to prosecute a popular political figure for?

I assume murder. What else?
Interesting that the differential between different regions is remaining the same.

You would imagine that if some big user were slurping up all the spot instances worldwide, then it would level out regional pricing differences. Or, if not level it out, change it based on that users sensitivity to bandwidth costs in/out of each region.

That makes me think that the spot pricing change is a gradual AWS algorithm change instead - I'm sure they'd be smart enough to apply a pricing change with some smooth function based on date.
I think the function inputs are in double-double format, so the assumption is that the magnitude of y is significantly smaller than the magnitude of x, ideally |y| < 2^(-52) |x|. So that 1 is a very good approximation for cos(y), since |cos(y) - 1| < |y|^2 < 2^(-104) |x|^2. Similarly, if we assume |x| is also small, |sin(x) - x| < |x|^3 is also a very good approximation (same with sin(y) ~ y).

So using the cosine of sum formula:

* cos(x + y) = cos(x) cos(y) - sin(x) sin(y)
* ~ cos(x) - x*y.
Parents Are Paying Consultants $750k to Get Kids into Ivy League Schools
About 80 million people have an ax to grind with Trump. Only a few of them are prosecutors who were literally elected on a promise of prosecuting him. That changes things, in my book. The correct way for him to have handled this would have been to follow through on his promise and also avoid his bias by appointing a special prosecutor with a very high budget to do the investigation - like the federal investigations before.

Also, believe it or not, prosecutors have strict ethical rules around being "advocates for justice" rather than trying to get their guy, and the hint of bias actually does mean that Trump's lawyers can get this charge thrown out on those grounds. It is actually true that on some level {prosecutor is political} == {no crimes he charged can be true}. The courts in the USA understand that to a degree, the process is the punishment, and so prosecutors can also get in trouble for nakedly biased prosecutions like this. This is different than civil litigators, who are free to be as biased and litigious as they want.

Personally, I would have had no issue if he had found some actual, serious malfeasance. In fact, I was hoping he would find some serious malfeasance in the Trump organization given all the other shit we know they did (but couldn't link back to the big guy). But no, the best he could find was Trump's accountant possibly misclassifying an expense on a disclosure form.
Oh sure let me try again:

The GP stated that

> ...the federal government uses law enforcement for their own agenda...

Can you just state what the agenda is? It can be general, or it can be specific to civil forfeiture since you brought that as an example.
Oof. Their job as manager is to make sure you have what you need. Them approving their own PRs seems like a flag, but it depends on the context.

If you’re not happy with your job, I’d look elsewhere. Unfortunately there’s not much other choice unless you really want to play the politics game, e.g. form an alliance with whoever your manager reports to.
Helix is awesome but I'm unlikely to see itch from Neovim. There aren't any killer features that I'm aware of and my Nvim setup is highly customized and works perfectly for my workflows.

All languages, except possibly Python, have followed this patterns. Read my comment carefully: I said that virtually all languages reach their ballpark market share within 10 years. JS did reach its high market share ballpark within a decade.
If we are being fair, even though we might refer to self driving capabilities as "ai" and as self aware supercomputer overlord as "ai" they aren't the same thing and you can hold different opinions on the development of them.
I'm locked out of my GitHub
Recently, I was assaulted and was in the hospital for 3 months. My GitHub 2FA was lost and I used the recovery method and received this email:

> Your request to disable two-factor authentication for the account @churchofthought has been approved by GitHub staff.

> To proceed, click this link: Complete account recovery. This link will only be valid for 72 hours

However, due in part to still recovering from this life changing injury (I'm partially disabled now), I missed the 72 hour link expiration window.

Now all recover options are greyed out. Support tells me they can't help.

Some of these repos are being used in production. Can any GitHub employee please help? I will send/fax over any documents necessary to prove my identity and that I am not under coercion.
Google Cloud is their portal into AI/ML workflows as a hosted service. There's no chance they kill it.
It's almost impossible to tell.

Yes, plenty of low hanging fruit around; Heck, I can probably literally ask chatGPT to implement for me a few ideas I've got.

OTOH, I've known since secondary school of two distinct ways to make a chemical weapon using only things commonly found in normal kitchens, and absolutely none of the post 9/11 aftershock attacks that got in the news over the next decade did anything remotely so simple, so that example makes me confident that even bad rules passed in haste — as many of them were and remain — can actually help.

(And that's despite my GCSE Chemistry being only grade B).
We are using WebRTC for both Audio/Video and screen sharing.

The Audio/Video are using VP9 SVC, and are a pretty typical configuration, using Jitsi as the backend.

The screen sharing is accomplished via a combination of libwebrtc and native Rust.

Particularly relevant for this particular battery, because the authors seem to think it's impressive that they had 80% capacity retention after 50 cycles. No, I didn't forget a zero. That's 50, not 500 or 5000. It may be an improvement on other Li-metal anodes, but it's still orders of magnitude away from being stable enough for practical use.

Would you ask to pause the progress on the invention of the wheel? The Antikythera mechanism? I am honesty astounded writing this since I don't even agree to call current advancements AI, have not subscribed to the hype, believe GPT is very overestimated etc etc. But still I don't think this is the way to go.
The Steam Deck was 10% off just two weeks ago to celebrate its first year of being out, at every performance tier I believe. I also think they discounted the Deck Dock.

Crazy how it's only been a year since the Deck came out, given the impact it's had on the gaming market.
I think the fear of LLMs is very overblown. On the other hand, I think that if LLMs actually manage to do what proponents hope it will, some people will die as a result due to economics when they lose their jobs.

That's not unique to LLMs, of course. It's what has happened before every time something has obsoleted a bunch of jobs. There's no reason to think this time would be any different.
> GPT-4 is probably already able to do most white collar work better than humans

I'm yet to see much white collar work it can do better than humans. Maybe it can do bits and pieces "better" (more like faster) than humans. But it requires so much oversight that I wouldn't say it can do it better than humans yet. Unless you have a counter example?
They also don't have the same level of power as the NYPD, which is a big difference.
I am not sure a steam deck like device would fit in MSFT gaming strategy. I think they would much prefer sell people something closer to logitech G cloud and push them toward their current cloud offerings.

I don't care about "is Android really a Linux?" either way, but the distinction the parent is making is that Android extensively modifies the kernel (no idea to what extent android modifies the kernel, but this seems to be the parent's central claim) whereas you're arguing that all distros have their own userland (Linux is a complete OS in the sense of "OS == kernel", but presumably you mean "OS == kernel + userland").
Good question - If you share your window or display on CoScreen, you can decide if you also want to share remote control or not. It’s a global toggle for all the windows you share. Also, only users who have the invite to your CoScreen (and therefore have a secure token to get into it) and are with you in it at that moment, would be able to type into your window if you allowed that.
It would be nice for ministers to be tech experts but politics is an art and a game too, and they also have to be good at that.

I don’t have much of a problem with a minister who knows they’re not an expert but makes it a top priority to surround themselves with people who are, and to listen to them, who has good morals.

That of course describes zero Tory ministers but one can dream.

>Someone with a net household income of about £65,000 or $100,000 will live to an average age of 85 in England, but only 80 in the US.

£65 != $100. The difference is nearly $20,000. How could the author make this mistake. It made it past the FT editors? I must be missing something...
> Software which is 20% bugs is software you can’t rely on.

No one is saying to take the output and immediately ship it. It still needs to be finished and tested. What's important is what is ultimately delivered; less important is what steps brought you to that point.

That said I suspect good testing will become more highly-valued as AI use increases. Maybe there's a form of TDD that can develop, with the human mostly writing tests and AI prompts?

Hello everyone!

My name is Lazar, and I'm the creator of ImgChatIO. I was inspired to create this app because I saw a need for a simple and easy-to-use tool that could help students and workers extract text from images and communicate with others using AI chatbots.

I also think the CRT worldview naturally produces a prejudice against Asians. For example: https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Alison-Collins-San-F...

The CRT worldview makes slavery the central event of history, and oppression by whites the central theme. That’s what’s going on in the Nikole Hannah-Jones quote above. How do those folks perceive immigrant groups that come here and tell their kids to shut up and work hard? I think that leads straight to the idea that Asians are complicit in “upholding white supremacy.” And even white people like John Oliver get in on that narrative.

Of course from our perspective we are just raising our kids according to our culture. In broad strokes, both east and south Asian cultures tend to be deferential to authority and emphasize an internal locus of control. If you ask my mom why bangladesh is poor, she’ll point to corruption and other moral failings, not British colonialism. Whether that is accurate or not, that’s completely at odds with the CRT worldview, which emphasizes an external locus of control—blaming oppression by whites for everything.

I find that spam has almost completely disappeared, at least for me using GMail. I know I hear complaints on HN every so often, but I haven't seen this form letter in a while. Google managed to solve it.

It does affect legitimate mailing lists and other mass mailers. The solution appears to have been places like MailChimp, who make it their business to stay on Google's good side, presumably weeding out the worst of the offenders. In fact, I wonder if that's why they reduced their free tier -- not for the money per se, but to root out the people using free accounts to send tons of spam.

Which is why I find it so aggravating that Quora has taken basically no effort to automate spam fighting. There is so, so much spam there. Meanwhile Google and other mailers, facing a much harder problem, have basically nailed it.

This is arguing by analogy via what amounts to an extraordinary claim without evidence.

Exactly, saying truckers often want to drive longer than they’re legally allowed is technically correct but not the whole truth. Interestingly the trucker situation seems to exist quite universally.
> I ask, how. He is making reductive logical leaps that don't make sense. It's FUD.

His Time article addresses this, as does much of his other writing. It really stems from two key points:

1) The vast majority of possible superintelligences have utility functions that don't include humans. Mind space is large. So by default, we should assume that a superintelligence won't go out of its way to preserve anything we find valuable. And as Eliezer says, we're made of useful atoms.

2) By definition, it can think of things that we can't. So we should have no confidence in our ability to predict its limitations.

It's reasonable to challenge assumptions, but it's not reasonable to say this line of reasoning doesn't exist.

A lot of concepts first seen in Fortran, or popularized by Fortran are now in other languages or making their way there. In my personal opinion, even if you will never use Fortran professionally or at work I think it's worth learning at least basics. It's actually a very simple language.

I think that while it takes forever to boot up from cold, those monolith-style classic IDEs with their centralized caching (and most important, centralized AST caching) outrun (by a lot) those Language Server Protocol based text editors when you're jumping around and editing code.

Going around code is faster. Global search is faster. Autocomplete is faster. Refactoring is faster.

Using the Java Language Server Protocol in VS Code was very painful even for very trivial Java Spring Boot projects.

Granted, their boot and first pass of project analysis is really slow.

That being said I still use VS Code very often (as a cool text editor, not as IDE), and I have no clue how VS Code boots and feels so snappy when most other Electron apps that I use feel like unresponsive slow garbage.

Indeed.com reports an average salary of 82k a year for NYPD officers, 49% above what it considers the average annual income in the US.

I recently looked into moving to NYC and was shocked to see prices similar to my middle of nowhere, significantly lower quality city. I could work in a pizzeria and live in NYC, this "it's too expensive" is really a suburban view of the sqft.

So why don't the civil servants making four times as much armed with lethal weapons live there?

Frankly, I'm amazed they consider it worth the commute to live outside the city.
I'm not claiming protests were or should be necessarily peaceful. Those protests started because of murder and disempowerment, and a context of decades of it.

Making it hard to sympathize with protestors is an important role of the news, and a significant part of why those protests failed.

I've seen astounding violence from police, before during and after those protests. Look at the thread we're in! Look at the one yesterday about them smuggling fentanyl! Look at the one from last week about the LA county sheriff gangs! Protesters don't carry a responsibility to uphold the law, they are a reaction to the police refusing to do so.
Revanchism doesn't require physical territory, only a sense of loss and a corresponding drive for revenge.

The NYPD sees itself as an occupying force in a hostile city. What they've lost (or believe they've lost) is the respect of the natives; rather than questioning why that is, they've decided that the appropriate course of action is to extract all the value they can from the city while diminishing the natives' qualities of life to the greatest extent possible. Revanchism is the appropriate descriptor.
Thanks for the feedback. I launched it to see if people need something like this.
