If an IT department of a major organization has both the time and motivation to
construct and publicize such a document, that speaks volumes of the incentive structure and cooperate priorities of their organization. The fact that they released such document in the public domain without first running it from the PR department speaks volumes to their incompetence.
This was not some random internal IT document. This was an official, public Stanford policy, advertised as part of a specific PR strategy.
Menacing/verbal threats/criminal threats are a real crime in most places including California.

I wonder how prevalent hikikomori is in the US?

It is similar to agoraphobia in US and Europe. One google reference says 2.4%, i.e. similar to Korea number.
Unless a pic comes out of Momeni (the alleged stabber) dressed in drag, then this news will drag out for a long time, pun intended.

> I don't think so at all, because it's not in service of the self, it's service of their partner. Maybe you are projecting.

It's almost as if people are capable of doing things under one pretense while their aim is another. The NY Times' article's author certainly seems to think that Yoko had ulterior motives, not that it matters, since the discussion stems from you being unable to understand why people would be annoyed with Yoko, despite the fact that they were.

> But a band member invited her in. You keep inserting your own version of a hypothetical that totally runs against what actually happened.

I'm not really inserting any hypothetical. She was in the studio. She annoyed the other Beatles, as confirmed by one of the other Beatles.

> She didn't inject herself. John literally told her he needed her there, I'm not sure what is so difficult for you to understand about this. Seems like you don't even understand the concept of an invitation, which makes total sense to me given your behavior here.

She injected herself in things outside of John and the Beatles. I'm sure you know this because you seem to be a fan of hers... but also because of this, you probably think she wasn't.

You seem to be incredulous that anyone could be annoyed with her, which is your own personal failing. The reality is people were, regardless of whether or not it was justified in your head.
And yet the US is the only place where mass shootings resulting in 5+ deaths regularly happen.
> It feels a bit like you're championing a narrative of "See, it's not so bad!

Steven Pinker has made a career out of this. Ironically a lot of his adherents are quick to jump on the "this is the safest time in human history" statistical warbling when discussing an issue they feel doesn't personally affect them.
Don't know the junkie.
One tech executive stabs another one to death, and this is somehow homeless people’s fault?
> I grew up in a violent town (high murder rate - even blatant). The difference between that and SF is that you don’t personally experience that violence in my home town. It’s really quite rare it affects someone you know.

If it has a high murder rate, that obviously is not true for all values of “you”.
GitHub Copilot has the same functionality, it checks on-the-fly that the generated code isn't reproduced verbatim from training data.
AFAICT, my hearing tops off at about 8kHz and the tone is a major fifth above that, i.e. 12kHz.
And what most don't realize is that cars will float and then sink. They will float and lose traction, becoming immobile, then they start taking on water and sink back down, ruined.
How did you collect such detailed statistics of your usage that's the crazy part in my opinion not that you actually switch but you have the statistics to monitor the switch!
One of the reasons tech executives are successful is because they do drugs and don't go to church.
I remember as a teen going to my dad with some outrage bait news I'd heard on the internet that totally fit into my preconceived notions, and he just said "Now think about that for a second. Does that sound like something that's fully true, or is it something that someone thinks you want to hear?"

I try to keep that tidbit in mind.
> Single usually means young

I don't think this is significantly true.
Yes, and yes, there's an argument to be made that if something shows up on HN and it's engineering related, it's going to attract a certain amount of eyeballs... "if you build it, they will come"
> of course, completely divorced from actual stats, i.e. that SF has fewer homicides per capita than almost every other American city, including current faves Austin and Miami

Many of us mentioned this (I did in my comment), which is why we are so surprised about this murder. Now it makes more sense, although still tragic. We still get to gripe about property crime, which has been higher than average for awhile now and only seems to be getting worse.

Game engine for and on Playstation, "Dreams", winding down
Dreams is a hybrid product: It is a game, a game browser, and a game engine all in one.

It's unclear what their financial success would have looked like. They didn't add exportation and there is no PC port.

I thought bellingcat actually had a pretty decent track record, and they typically dump all their findings and their methods. They don't even have a "Controversy" section on wikipedia, which is a half-decent litmus test.
It's a reasonable belief and fear that person will carry out the act. You are probably misinterpreting the reasonable part, especially when people mask their reaction to try to get away or out of shock / instinct. The person making the threats probably gets enjoyment from getting a rise out of random strangers. Also, returning to the original context, there are too many people on the street that have severe mental health crises going on and are freely roaming some cities. They don't necessarily need to go to be convicted of a crime as a solution.
Nick Bostrom has his analogy about technologies being like lottery balls. Most of the time we draw "white" balls and technology has almost no downsides, sometimes we draw a "gray" ball and there are pros and cons. We've never drawn a "black" ball technology out of reality's bag of tricks because we wouldn't be here discussing it if we had, although he suggests things like AI or homebrewed viruses could be a black ball.

Drawing ball after ball has kept humanity progressing. Extend his analogy a little further. What if there are no more white balls to draw? What if we are "impeded" from drawing them by the fact that there are now more gray and black balls to draw instead of white? Or, since we have to reach further into this lottery jar, what if we don't reach them in time?

Malthus rested his conclusion on the assumption that we would never hack agriculture the way we have (nitrogen, phosphorus, etc). You rest your conclusion on the assumption that we will always successfully draw a new trick out of the hat, like find ways to recover all the rare earth metals from phones for which we have no current mechanism for economic recycling. You rest your worldview on the idea that our potential is limitless, that humanity's progress is inevitable, a god-given right if you will. I rest my worldview on the idea that nothing is guaranteed, that complexity begets fragility and diminishing returns, and that entropy will always, always, have the last laugh.
I’ve been accosted by strange people in multiple cities if that’s the standard of disorder now. Not saying it’s nice for that to happen but I don’t think it says much about SF.
The same way you'd know that Signal isn't keeping a copy of your private key somewhere - people can inspect the clients. Yes, the app could use some sort of really sneaky way of leaking the key such that nobody ever finds it. It would also be possible for the developers to distribute a very specific version of the client that does this only for a very specific region and device combo to minimize the likelihood that this is caught. But it is the sort of thing that would both be unimaginably bad for PR and challenging to keep under wraps.
Some bases are inherently better for small integer arithmetic.

Every base has difficulty representing some fractions. For example, 1/3 is written in base 10 as 0.333... The 3 repeats forever. You can use explicit notation like a line over the top, but that's still just a workaround.

The Babylonians used base 60, which has many more prime factors than base 10: 60 can be divided evenly by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60.

60 is a lot of digits to remember, though. That presents its own overhead.

Some people advocate base 12: it's only two more digits, and it's evenly divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. 1/5 is a mess, though: 0.24972497...
While SpiceDB looks good. My only concern is if they will go the mongo route once they get more adoption and need to satisfy investors as opposed to customers/developers and make most of their features paid and leave the open source version hanging.

Ban racist customers. Ensure benefits get to the victim’s bank account.
"Where effective tool is available it's used"

Isn't really the gotcha you might think.

We know who uses guns to kill people, we know who they kill. You don't see those on the news because no one wants to talk about it.

Of the 10,000 murders or so per year with firearms, over 66% are drug and gang related.
> NPR also said it receives less than one percent of its funding from the government.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of government funding some of Musk's and Boebert's favorite "non-government" media outlets receive (by actually-honest accounting).
You're swapping terms around to draw distinctions where there are no real differences. There's no such thing as a "kernel page" and a "userspace page". There's only pages of memory which are mapped into one or both. All pages accessible to userspace are also mapped in the kernel. That means that the ring buffers live in perfectly ordinary, mapped-in-both-places userspace pages. There is zero basis in fact for your claims that these are "kernel pages" which have been mapped to userspace. You have taken the exact same phenomenon, pages accessible to both userspace and the kernel, and called it by a new scary name "kernel pages accessible by userspace", instead of the other safe and ordinary name, "userspace pages". Now, the addresses used for the kernel mapping may be different than normal, but (a) that is completely inconsequential to security and (b) as you point out yourself, kernel address space is inaccessible to userspace so it could not possibly matter where the kernel maps the shared pages.

Now it is in general a real security bug when the kernel operates multiple times on data mapped into userspace instead of taking a one-time copy of that data and using this copy for multiple operations. However, the whole point of a ringbuffer is that it specifically operates in such a shared environment. Moreover it will be just as necessary for the kernel to perform the snapshot copy out of an SQE (and other shared structures) before beginning a sequence of operations on them. The only difference with io_uring is when is that copy performed: at the time of a syscall or during other operations. That too is completely inconsequential to security.

To sum up: It is correct to state that the kernel must be careful with shared mappings. It also would have been correct to state, had you reached this far, that io_uring is moving the userspace-copy boundary "deeper" into the kernel rather than isolating it at the syscall layer. It is, however, incorrect to state that io_uring contains a new, more dangerous kind of shared mapping. It is incorrect to state that the shared mapping used by io_uring is itself in any way a threat to kernel security.
All plants that are kept in operation have every single component in need of replacement replaced well in advance, so none of the European plants is old in any way a car could be considered old.
Flawless.

Maybe throw in “tech-on-tech crime”.
I'm not sure I understand. You're saying my statement is true if "you only pay for subscription for a single year" but false if "you get a perpetual licence for any version you paid for 12 month or more". Did you mean to say "more than 12 months?" because otherwise those statements overlap.

>in the example you link if I continue the subscription for another 4 month I will be able to keep v2.

Well, I never claimed otherwise. But perhaps we can agree to summarize it all in a different way:

At the end of any twelve month (or more) subscription you are are forced to downgrade to a one year old version, regardless of what's been released since.

Agree?
Trans women are women. No other species may have trans individuals, but no other species has men or women either, or if they do, it's beyond our understanding (in the same way our understanding of their vocalizations or the way they think or experience is limited). Wearing a dress doesn't make you a woman, identifying as a woman and fulfilling that role in society does (which does often involve wearing dresses).

If you support trans people's right to exist as humans, maybe it behooves you to educate yourself about the difference between gender and sex, so that you don't repeat transphobic talking points.
> The answer is yes people do analysis of that question and yes it is.

I'm not sure. The author answered this question with a "no". They admitted they don't analyze or check how actual performance on the job correlates with doing well on this kind of interview questions. Maybe others do, but the author doesn't. I wonder if anyone at Google checks this.

> I've literally never heard of a "dry season."

That seems strange to me.

The second sentence of the wikipedia article on the matter is, "There are two basic seasons in the Tampa Bay area, a hot and wet season from May through October, and a mild and dry season from November through April." [0]

The University of South Florida, on its page advising incoming students and faculty about how to prepare for the climate, says, "Tampa, Florida has a humid, subtropical climate with two distinct seasons: a hot and humid season from May through October and a milder, dry season from November through April."

...and really: it's plain to see for anybody who lives here. I've only lived here 3 years, but everyone I know regards the local climate as 2-season, and has home and/or lifestyle preparations for each.

It seems to read reasonably unambiguously to me, I think. I interpreted it to mean:

Of the cobalt that is used in making the batteries, all of it came from sources that had previously been used in something else, subsequent to it having been mined originally. None of it came from cobalt where it was mined and then this is its first use in a product.

And then there being no other claims about the recycled-ness or lack thereof about the rest of the battery.
Fun fact if you add the size of North Korea 120,540km2 to the state I live in Queensland 1,852,642km2. The total size is 632km2 larger than Mexico's 1,972,550km2

USA resident who factually understands that intellectual "property" is not property as thoughts. idea's etc can not be owned as property. What you call intellectual property is in fact more accurately referred to as intellectual privilege, and unauthorized copying of your work is not "piracy" which is a violent act of theft normally on the high seas.

Attempting to conflate copyright with property and property crimes is not only illogical it is highly immoral

copyright may be worth defending, in a very limited way, but it certainly is not on the same level of property nor should it be considered such.

Copyright to the extent it is worth defending should be returned to the original US Constitutional limits and applicability, and returned to the timespan of the original copyright law (14 years, and 1 extension of a human author of 14 years.. meaning corporations get 14 years, humans can get upto 28 years and no more. and All copyright ends at death of the author. )
I guess I left it that way because I was relating how it felt at the time.

I mostly thought he was just... wrong. In retrospect it's interesting that his intuition was completely different than mine (and a lot of ours here).
I worked for a nice SF company. I had to take bart to get there, which felt like the least safe thing I've ever really done in my life. Then I had to walk past people on the street that made me feel less safe than that anywhere else in the world I've been, but atleast I was outside and could run if I needed to, which I can't on bart.
Show HN: Keep track of what different AI's say about you
Hi HN!

I built this tool, because Large Language Models are hallucinating their asses off and I wanted to test just how bad it is with a topic I know best - myself. I'm sure there are other egos out there who google themselves and essentially this is the new googling yourself.

It's early beta, so lots of room for improvement of course.
This is exactly what I would expect them to do. Amazon (AWS) sells compute resources and generative AI may be a gold mine for that. They need to have the tools and mindshare in place early for this market.
The first part of (c) is true, so I guess you're asking about how the interviewers would react?

These folks were obviously interested in differing approaches; we had a good conversation about it. And that's how I use broad questions.

But I agree a huge problem of interviews is the "guess what I'm thinking" interviewer. Most interviewing processes are not primarily about making good hires. They're about making interviewers feel smart and important.
Netherlands here. Myself and several others I know have never driven for this reason. But I do get your point.
> platform for HN to tolerate any discussions around SF crime.

I think we all live in our own bubbles, because I see so much discussion of SF crime.

I also think it's important to note that there is a huge difference between "should we prevent random street killings?" and "how much effort should SFPD exert to protect cars when the majority of actual SF residents don't even own one?"

EDIT: Just to cite my sources: [0] shows 397k registered cars in SF [1] shows 810k residents.

As long as we're sharing anecdotes... I won't speak for everybody, but I definitely am "voluntarily reclusive", so this measure would do absolutely nothing if I lived in South Korea. Zero fucks given about what the society thinks: I work remotely, live a comfortable life, and have no desire to see anyone. It's just how my brain is hardwired and has been that way forever, no amount of money would fix it (even if I wanted to).
Copilot has a setting for this, and they announced attribution a while ago:
https://github.blog/2022-11-01-preview-referencing-public-co...

It would be interesting if AWS actually does their attribution - how do they know which open source code was published in any public repo?
So it sounds to me like this isn't Uber's fault and there's probably nothing they can realistically do to solve this problem.

A person with a few full magazines and a semiauto rifle in a crowded place, and not much concern about surviving, can kill dozens of people in a couple minutes before there's any chance of someone else with a gun being able to stop them. I'm not aware of someone doing this with a knife. Seems like it's always a gun. Probably because a gun makes it really easy to kill people quickly.
The downside of this approach is that you can’t easily do “one size fits all, inclusive of built-in laptop keyboard” mods.

Since my configuration files follow me from computer to computer anyway, it’s easier to just manage all the mods in one place and rely on the daemon. If I was doing support though, I would definitely go the firmware route.
Exactly, murder stats aren't necessarily a good measure of how safe a city feels to a typical dweller. Many city homicides are gang-related, and if the gangs only operate in specific areas, killing eachother, the city can still feel totally safe to other people. Constant theft really weighs on the psyche- needing to worry about everywhere you leave your bike locked or park your car is a burden.

To your point, Ulaanbaatar felt like one of the more dangerous cities I've been in because people would rob foreigners in broad daylight on crowded streets, but I don't think there was much homicide at all.
Let us not confuse bimodal distribution with binary distribution. stats 101. There is considerable overlap in biological features that are regulated by sex chromosomes and sex hormones, such that there is considerable heterogeneity within each sex.

Also these dismissals using 'but most people' are ironic; the exceptions disprove the rule of a binary, an imaginary binary that is then used to dismiss the rights and reality of sex and gender diversity. Its cake and eat it too thinking.
"admitting that SF has a crime problem". It does have crime problems, drug problems and homeless problems. Since this topic was about violent crime sure you can admit it has a violent crime problems but it's no more than normal, in fact below average in the USA.

It's the same demographic around here that pride themselves with thinking they are cold hard rationalists that also steadfastly refuse to look at SFs actual violent crime statistics to compare to the rest of the country.
Maybe being temperamentally an introvert has little connection with social status, but you pointed to something I haven't thought about before: how low social status can lead to seclusion. I wonder if there's been studies on that.
Because HN is a technology discussion board with a worldwide audience, not a local politics one. YCombinator isn't even based in SF.

When the CEO of YCombinator blocks people on Twitter for disagreeing with him online on SF politics[0], it tells me I don't want HN to be a haven for that.

The root cause of the issue here is that Bob didn't have a gun.
Well if we’re inventing types of danger out of whole cloth and proposing solutions to them they probably won’t help with anything. We also should probably quantify what “dangerous” means if, as both that post and the article say, violent crime in San Francisco is actually exceptionally low.
