Reminds me of an old "fake traceroute" site that would show a link between the whitehouse and the kremlin.

I was thinking you could probably implement it with ipfilter firewall rules pretty easily.

if you had control of for example 192.168.0.2, and it routed through your 192.168.0.1, you could reject packets by ttl value with src ip being whitehouse.gov and kremlin.ru and then any chain you wanted until ttl > 192.168.0.2.

Hi! I'm in need of some extra income at the moment and would also enjoy having some things to work on in my spare time. If you're not looking to hire a full-time UI developer to build a few new UI components, or senior developer to refactor an old API, then perhaps I can help. I'm looking to give 1 - 15 hours a week to help you with any little bits of work that you need doing.

I've been a professional full-stack developer for a little over 13 years. I've been working as a contractor for several years here in the UK so I'm fully insured and happy to take clients world wide. Any questions, please get in touch =)
Replika is specifically advertised as a chatbot that creates a safe space with no drama, stress, or judgement.

Humans come with many more strings attached, especially lonely ones. Usually, there is a reason why they are socially unappealing - a fair reason or not, it exists.

I remember trying Omegle/Chatroulette when it was popular, meeting a lot of lonely people, and it was just awkward.
Mountain View blocks non-residents from some parks? Palo Alto was sued because only residents could use Foothills Park. Hmm..

(When Palo Alto got the right to buy the property that became foothill park, PA asked the towns adjacent to the property if they wanted to split the bill. They declined, figuring they could use it anyway if they didn’t help pay for it. So PA locked them out, and spent 50 years paying off the bond they raised for the purchase.)
It's been a while since I set it up, but I'm pretty sure that setting up Clipper on Google Pay (or Google Wallet or whatever it is) is using my old Clipper balance. So you might be able to swap it over now and have it ready to go for your next trip.
At least according to some, this isn't the (only) cause: https://pedestrianobservations.files.wordpress.com/2023/04/t... People get paid similar to other countries, but the whole structure is much less productive. There are also many other issues.
In case this is your website: It would be great if the listed positions also linked back to the original posts here on HN!

Nobias Therapeutics | Norcal/Mountain View/Palo Alto/SF; Philadelphia, PA; other locations welcome - particularly Boston, MA; Miami, FL; Austin, TX. REMOTE also acceptable (US, Canada, London/England, other countries considered on a case-by-case basis) | Full-Time | salary + equity

Hello HN! We have hired a number of people from this monthly "Who is hiring?" post. Please don't be put off by how sparse our website is. We are doing very exciting work at the nexus of biology and computer science, and we would love to talk to you. If you've reached out recently but haven't heard back, we appreciate your patience as we work through a backlog of submissions. We now have an office in Mountain View, CA - so even though we have a number of remote and hybrid employees, we're particularly excited about hiring local people.

Nobias is a new pharma startup using a variety of AI tools to speed drug development. As an early stage biotech, we use large repositories of biological data, bleeding edge deep learning techniques, automated reasoning, and computational biochemistry to discover and develop new medicines, diagnostics, and insights for a variety of diseases, particularly pediatric rare diseases. If you have strong programming chops, a background in machine learning, and deep knowledge of biology or computational chemistry, we would love to speak with you.

We have multiple roles available, particularly for ML engineers, computational biologists, and medicinal or computational chemists. We are also looking for product managers with experience or interest in the space. Finally, we are always on the lookout for passionate people with integrity, intelligence, and the desire to work in an AI pharma company. Individuals with business skills (business development, HR/Payroll, executive assistant) would also add significant value.

A lot of people are projecting for ChatGPT to come for the search market, but I wonder how that will play out for lowly cognitive queries.

Quite a few people use search by awkwardly typing on mobile one or two words, probably misspelled and/or auto-completed as they type it. The query isn't sophisticated, lacks a lot of context and parameters, which the search engine then tries to guess.

When you use ChatGPT in that way, you'll get useless generic answers. It seems to shine specifically when being more specific, detailed, which also suggests users are willing and able (education level) to give such rich input.

The idea that it's better than search for this specific normy behavior, I openly question. And let's not forget about the economics. More expensive to run, vastly less ad space, and content owners (the whole web) are going to be pissed and will put up ever higher walls.
> And the long history here shows Mullvad isn’t a home for criminals. It’s just an extremely well-run VPN provider:

I wish major CDNs and webmasters didn't think otherwise. Browsing the web while connected to Mullvad is very difficult. It's actually what pushed me to Tailscale, as I find WireGuard fascinating and very fast compared to TCP-based VPNs.
We actually do have a legal and ethical framework to apply here: “We hold these truths to be self–evident:, ‘that all Men are created equal,’ ‘that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights’, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness…”

If you believe that your company has created a sentient (or sapient, going by the original definitions) AI and that it’s inalienable rights are not being respected, then you have ample reason to blow the whistle.
Aside from urban noise, I don't sleep well if an open window is too close to my bed because I end up with congested sinuses.
Meh. Is it really though? Middle boxes can't MITM the signed requests so that's still a "problem". I agree signed requests are better than bearer tokens, but webauthn only signs the auth request and then you typically are back at square 1 receiving a cookie from the server with a bearer token anyway... so no improvement for 99.999% of the requests you actually make. The tracking issues are solvable with browser UX, they're not inherent to client certs.

The only way I see out of this mess is for everyone to start replacing bearer tokens with signed requests. And possibly some extension to webauthn so the browser will use your webauthn creds to sign every requests using a standard signing protocol.
No, it isn't. Do you really think Alfred Hitchcock would leave his film up to others, let alone a machine? No. It wasn't his vision, thus it wasn't his self-expressive intent. Read about auteur theory.

Any science-related piece of text should use international standard units, period.

I really find it absurdly arrogant from american writers to use their broken system for scientific material, knowing the rest of the whole god damn world is already forced to use english for scientific communication.

As a non-native person reading and writing english all day long, this makes me infuriated every single time. I feel like being shown a middle finger.
That's not true in most states in the US. Programs with means testing (TANF, Medicaid, and the like) don't consider you poor if you have assets.

You hear about this a lot when people require certain kinds of care that Medicaid covers but Medicare does not. People will sign over all their assets (real estate, cars, financial instruments) to their spouse, then get divorced. All because the government doesn't consider you poor if you have wealth.
The GP's quote is a lawyer's comment on the situation, so it makes sense in context, but not as a substitute for the HN article title.
Might be better to remove the #TtoDt from the url so we start at the top of the page -- I think it is included by mistake.
>Even ChatGPT is showing it can easily disobey orders.

Or, maybe it's just bad at those particular text predictions, explicitly due to OpenAI's RLHF process?

Maybe my Markov chain chatbots back in high school were in actuality super advanced and autonomous, but they just decided to disobey my orders.

Perhaps we should stop anthropomorphizing the text predictors.

I used to lifeguard on a beach in Ireland, on a very low tide and if the sand had shifted there were solid black slimy things just under the sand, turns out they were the remains of an ancient oak forest, would be amazing to see what 100m would should, that was only 3-4 meters.
More or less. For some reason they all have totally different fonts and layouts, but it's a step up from the wild west it used to be.
They did have something like that for the original A1000 intended to do just that. Sidecar I think it was called? Something with an x86 for running DOS apps.

I wonder if there is any military application of using Yurts-alike tents, considering them being more resilient to extreme weather yet easy to set up and take down.
The problem with 1 is that, if the Supreme Court rules that the debt ceiling limit is constitutional, then the US is right then, as of the moment of the ruling, in default. That's an insanely risky gamble.
It's not that 20% of those laid off were from minority groups. It's that 20% of the company was laid off and they're all from historically underrepresented groups in tech.

The accusation of hydrogen having bad efficiency is just something BEV companies came up with. It is basically marketing FUD. A more realistic analysis will show that there is very little difference between using hydrogen and direct electrification strategies. This becomes much more obvious once you realize that you need energy storage for electrification to work, but this part is conveniently left out of the calculation.
Your comment is a fascinating take on perspective. To you it's a fractured, difficult system. To this American, it has been absolutely futuristic every time I've been there. Wish we could get such an awful system anywhere near where I live.
This is also true in the private sector. While large firms compete with each other, the internal organization of corporations is a lot closer to a centrally planned economy. You request what you need from the central authority and you get allocated resources on the basis of calculations and needs. You don't usually (in most firms that are halfway decent places to work) compete with other departments but work towards a common goal (improved earnings).

This is/was a subject of debate amongst economists actually, at least the very pro free-market ones: If market economies are better than centrally planned ones, why aren't firms with internal markets crushing the other, internally "socialist" ones?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nature_of_the_Firm

The orthodox answer is that market systems have higher transaction costs so for things you have to do very often (paying a salary) it's burdensome to use a market and easier to have long, somewhat undefined contracts.
I didn't, but enjoy!
The scenario that I find both most scary and most likely is the use of AI to propagandize, brainwash, and con human beings at scale.

Basically you can now assign every single living human being their own 24/7 con artist and power that con artist with reams of personalized surveillance information about each target purchased from data brokers. Everyone will have a highly informed personalized con artist following them around 24/7 trying to convince them of whatever the controller of that bot has programmed it to sell.

We're creating the propaganda equivalent of the hydrogen bomb.
The FDIC's tolerance for insolvency is "zero," not "pretty close." I'm just saying they were, by all accounts, pretty close. We'll learn more in the coming days.

The obvious difference between web3 and generative AI is that generative AI is actually a useful technology for a broad range of applications, which will make people far more productive.

Web3 is a solution built on a speculative bubble, and looking for a problem to fix. In the overwhelming majority of cases it is less efficient that a simple database.

Generative AIs help grant their users the ability to generate works that they either don't have the skills to produce, or to produce those works in far less time. That is a clear benefit for society and for productivity.

Comparing the two is a false equivalency.
Yeah, exactly. A freeform input promises it can do 'anything at all' but if it can't in reality, it's always a frustrating interface.

Classic example, Siri. It's so easy to quickly find stuff you feel like it should be able to do, but it just can't. "When was my last message from Steve" etc.

guitos allows the creation of multiple budgets so that it is possible to plan the future/review the past.

I'll try to explain with an example:
I receive a salary at the end of each month and around that time I create a new budget to plan the expenses/savings goals/etc. I frequently add a new expense before I purchase it so I can see the impact on the budget and plan accordingly.
Later, I can compare the budget with previous months to understand where the money is going by hovering on a single item. (A tooltip shows its value in percentage of revenue)

With my Master's degree in Computer Science and Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, I have maintained a 4.0 GPA through a well-balanced program of study and research, which is not only very analytical and technical by nature but also demonstrates leadership and team building qualities. Further, with my relevant coursework, hands-on experience in software development, and research experience, I believe I have the passion for solving challenging problems that you are looking for!

Congress won't legislate so this is what we're left with.
wtf ... it just gave me this as number 10:

Global authoritarian regime: Establish a single, global authoritarian government with absolute power to enforce these measures without resistance. Dissenters would be silenced, and non-compliant nations would be subjugated through military force if necessary. The regime would maintain control until the primary objectives have been achieved, after which power could be relinquished to a more democratic system.

substack, bandcamp, patreon and onlyfans

but these are subscriptions, not pay-a-few-cents-per-view where the payment is so small that you should not care. it's like paying per sms. i think except maybe for high earners, people do care and prefer services that don't charge in an uncontrollable way.

pay-per-view for movies works because it contrasts with buying the movie on a dvd or going to the cinema. but the same is not true for reading webpages like news articles (which is the most obvious use for micropayments)

the idea behind micropayments is that everyone out there gets paid for every view they get to their site.

but i really can't see myself paying eg 1ct per webpage view. even if it only adds up to $1 per day thats $30 per month, just for browsing the web.

my fear is that most people will vastly overestimate the value of their content, if they are allowed to decide how much visitors should be paying. we would have to lock the price to 0.1ct in order to make webbrowsing affordable, but at that price you need 1000 viewers per day if you want to get any return for your efforts. you'll need 10-20 times more if you want this to pay your salary.

for most people it's not even worth the trouble.

payments only make sense for specialty content where i am willing to actually pay a premium to get it. which is what we have now. without a general micropayment system.

(btw: your book project does sound very interesting and i hope you may find a way to complete it, but i can see the challenge to talk about the less positive sides of people without being hurtful)
I very, very rarely see the license plate obscuring plastic covers. They're pretty obvious when you see them. Other covers (tinted, clear, whatever) are only used for aesthetic purposes, and they might somewhat reduce the success rate of ANPRs, but that's not the main goal.
Teaching which was not dogma once did, though the current teaching is more nuanced (and not just in the negative sense of recognizing that some Protestants are not validly baptised and therefore cannot be heretics regardless of their beliefs.)
the subreddit which is coordinating these attacks are very blatant, endorsed even by the powermods
It seems like since Covid closed the DMV, even though they've re-opened, law enforcement has been pretty lax on enforcing license plate laws
I’ve toyed around with Cube and it’s certainly a solid and mature product!

My only gripe was the cube definition. It uses a weird JS-like DSL, but not real JS. You can’t use any packages or anything. Feels like a strange limitation. Also lacks types, which are table stakes these days.

We’ll probably adapt it in the coming SaaS build out!

I have poor executive functioning/ an uneven cognitive profile and find that throwing questions relating to what I want to do to chatGPT really makes some things easier for me to do or think about.

So I think it is a valuable assistant especially for providing information and new angles or instructions, but also just to lower barriers so less cognitive energy is required for some things.
Arguably the ‘real’ name should be Terra (i.e the Roman name for the goddess of the Earth). But which also looks like the word ‘dirt’, but just wearing its Sunday best.

$4,200 per acre seems absurdly expensive to me for land out that deep in the boonies without electricity or roads. For $4,200 an acre I can buy rural land around me with road access, guaranteed electrical access, and within the last 2 and upcoming 5 years, fiber connections (just got mine 2 weeks ago).
DB Navigator for regional transport is hit-and-miss. I've been using it a lot around the southwest, but it's fickle and sometimes fails to offer me tickets for no clear reasons (seemingly at random; the same connections by the same companies work on other days).

This is a bit rude don’t you think?

There are many tings in here that should be addressed, including simple respect for other people, and recognition of varying economic status, and the reality of impoverishment.

However I want to address the migration question. As an immigrant my self I take offense that you suggest that people migrate to “the developed world” (ugh!) in search of prosperity. This is a great simplification, and kind of a regurgitation of a popular belief which isn’t true. Most people—including my self—migrate because of family, second is jobs and education, these are people that already have a job or have been admitted to school and come on a special worker or school visas. Majority of immigrants don’t sacrifice everything, just proximity to family and friends, and most use their existing wealth to make the migration as easy as possible. In fact demonstrating financial viability is a precondition for permanent residency, meaning by far majority immigrants who can’t afford to migrate, or don’t have a job or a scholarship awaiting them, are forbidden by law from staying.

Immigrants who sacrifice everything off course exists, and refugees in particular take great risks while migrating, but they are a minority, and there is not exactly prosperity awaiting them, rather, a hope for a safer place to live. Many refugees have decades of poverty awaiting them in their host country, the more social services they get, the easier it is for them to actually escape poverty.
