Yeah, honestly I don't particularly care what the people on HN think of me [1], but I think it's important to come out to say that even relatively educated people like me can be duped. I might very well be an idiot, but at least nominally I'm in the "educated" demographic: I have a yuppie job, a college degree, some graduate education, and until Gemini Earn was generally considered somewhat financially responsible. I don't gamble, I don't drink, I don't go out to eat very often, any large purchases are planned out for weeks (if not months), and I try and put at least 30% of my paycheck into some form long-term savings (either something low risk/long-term like an index fund or something super-low-risk like a treasury bill). I feel like if something like this can happen to me, it can happen to nearly anyone else.

If anyone was thinking about "investing" in cryptocurrencies, just try and remember that it's largely-unregulated funny money, and you're probably not going to save the world while simultaneously getting rich from it.

I'm hoping that other people can learn from my mistake the age-old adage: if it looks too good to true, it probably is.

Well, I agree if your experience was around codebases that tried to fit JS in the OOP category.

The "shiny" aspect is the only way an improperly soldered joint can look the same on lead-free, and as a lead dev on an open-source hardware project that attracts a lot of people new to soldering, I have never ever seen a non-shiny leaded solder joint that wasn't horrendously bad in many other ways.

When a joint is bad, you get obviously poor wetting and weird mushroom shapes, but even so a newbie will not really notice that even using leaded solder.

If you are starting out, and you have a poor iron, cheap solder, and poor technique, you have already made two grave mistakes. We always urge people starting out to shell out in the $50 range for something that won't actively make them suffer, and they do just fine with SAC305.
They could. They don't want to, because they'd rather have their cake and eat it, too: they want access to California's massive population as a customer-base, but don't want to be subject to the rules California has put in place as conditions of said access.

FWIW, it hasn't changed in ten years.

Here is an 18-year-old bug, that DELETE triggers don't work for foreign key cascades: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=11472

That makes the entire feature mostly worthless. Reported in 2005, last updated in 2008.

While I would choose PostgreSQL every time, MySQL has the following advantages:

1. Write-performance, due to fundamental design tradeoffs. [1]

2. Per-connection resources, due to single-process design.

3. Related to #1, no vacuum requirement.

I don't buy that. The Second Law of Thermodynamics is not only basic, but can be stated in a sentence. Being able to generally recall the plot of Romeo & Juliet (or any Shakespeare play) is objectively harder than being able to spit out that sentence. I'll make the bold claim that Second Law of Thermodynamics would be recalled by far more scientists than the plot of Coriolanus would be by MFAs.

The worst thing we do is fail to teach statistics to liberal arts majors. Then, as citizens, they make obvious mistakes about the relative costs and effects of things they advocate for or are against, and can be easily manipulated in any direction with attacks on their availability heuristics.

Why does GPLv3 stop you from looking at the source?
My guess would be context sensitive?
Makes sense. Others also point out it is not as good as GPT-4 in several benchmarks.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35895404

They did in fact mostly avoid comparison with GPT-4 in the report. It could of course also be that Bard isn't even running on the largest PaLM 2 model, Unicorn. It seems they would have mentioned that though.

But PaLM 2 seems to be just an intermediate step anyway, since their big new model is "Gemini" (i.e. twins, an allusion to the DeepMind/Brain merger?), which is currently in training, according to Pichai. They also mentioned Bard will switch to Gemini in the future.
Maybe? That’s still not a super great selling point for a language.

In those cases the intent would be to cause harm. Here the intent was not to cause harm, it was just a reckless and bad thing to do.
> If that sounds too complicated for your purposes, sorry.

Ehhh, GF(2) and even GF(5) are actually pretty easy to describe.

GF(2) is arithmetic modulo 2.

0+0 == 0

0+1 == 1

1+0 == 1

1+1 == 10, except we can only carry one bit in GF(2). Like an odometer, we can only keep the bottom bit, so the "1" drops off. 1+1 == 0.

Hey look, its XOR. The end.

----------

A "Field" in Abstract mathematics is simply a number-system that has add, additive-inverse (aka: subtraction), multiply, and multiply-inverse (aka: division). Note that "subtraction" and "division" are just simplifications of the concept, to be a true inverse, all inputs and outputs (domains-and-ranges) must be in the field.

So I proved that XOR is GF(2)'s addition. Funny note, 1 is also -1 (negative 1), aka the additive inverse of 1. And it turns out that XOR is _also_ the additive inverse (aka: subtraction). You see, -1 + 1 == 0, which happens to be 1+1 in GF(2). Ain't modulo math fun?

-----------

Multiplication is just AND btw.

0 * 0 == 0

0 * 1 == 0

1 * 0 == 0

1 * 1 == 1

The multiplicative inverse of 1 is... 1. That is, 1 * 1 equals 1. This one is a bit of a tautology, but it matches the technical definition of multiplicative-inverses (aka: division). This is why I prefer GF(5), because we get a less-trivial multiplicative-inverse.

----------

GF(5) is how I prefer to teach Galois fields. GF(2) and GF(3) are too simple. GF(5) is complex enough that the student actually has to learn Galois fields to understand it, but its simple enough that you can probably teach it to someone within 20 minutes.
I used to be excited about complexity theory, but these days I can't help but wonder, what is the practical applications of this in real engineering problems? Most of the NP-Complete problems can be solved in polynomial time (but not all, of course!) with appropriate heuristics.

During my CS degree, I had an opportunity to take a course which sought to bridge these two cultures.
The class was described as a kinetic art and embedded systems class opened to EE, CE, CS and art students.

We'd study some essays like Snow's "The Two Cultures" and create reports on contemporary artists before breaking up into groups consisting of both engineering and art students with the goal of designing and implementing kinetic art.
Coming from the engineering side, it was fun for me to get the chance to experience an academic art setting, and I think the class overall helped me overcome being immediately dismissive of more conceptual art as well as showing me tools and the frame of mind to approach and appreciate art.

For the artists, I think the goal of our professor was to build some technical literacy, and provide them with the technology that could inspire them, expanding their breadth of what could be feasibly done.

Though like this essay, the relationship between the two cultures could seem like it would turn adversarial or pretentious or dismissive, but I believe everyone in the class had a great time, and were all just excited to create things together.
Woah, I stand corrected. That's insane.
I really liked that one, until it stopped working. In my opinion, it was the perfect size for reading and browsing the web. I haven't used a tablet as part of my daily life since then.
This is a plea deal, no one is going to plea to the maximum, which in this case is 20 years. The punishment can also be a fine [1], which may be fitting if the goal was profit from a YouTube video.

When news articles mention the maximum, especially in headlines, it feels a bit misleading. It seems there's a decent chance there is little or no prison.

I find it useful for scripty things once you come to terms with not needing to write to stdout. Although there are ways to do that and call into the image from shebang scripts. Also, as long as you leave the image running you can setup cron like jobs in the image.

The reason I like it for this type of thing is that all you need resides in the image instead of shell scripts scattered hither and yawn. Also, the development for these types of things I find much easier because of the ability to inspect results of every step in the workspace/playground before stitching it all together in a class. I guess in that regard it’s a similar flow to Lisp.
The reason lab PSUs are so expensive is that they are incredibly stable. A regular cheap power supply will provide a sort-of stable voltage, but there will be a loooot of noise on it. Meanwhile, even a basic lab PSU will guarantee the output voltage to within a few mV, no matter what you throw at it. This allows you to completely rule out the PSU as a potential source of faults.
OpenAI's training is basically the entire internet.

OH YES CANCEL CULTURE IS RAMPANT!

Yeah, AI can totally decide what's real and what's not. Sounds great
> Some smaller producers will leave the CA market.

I suspect the smaller producers are largely already CA-complaint and just need to be certified as such. Small and medium scale outfits tend to have minimal issue with providing a whopping "24 square feet" of pen space per sow and the ability for said sow to stand up and turn fully around. It's the large corporate outfits running CAFOs that are most impacted by this - and their attempts to brand this as being hostile to "the poor small independent farmers" is as disingenuous as it is predictable.
Primarily because of the Fifth Amendment, specifically the combination of the double jeopardy and due process clauses.

“Faces up to…” means exactly what it says, that is “Faces a sentence that cannot exceed…”

Now, it doesn’t (in general) mean “Is likely to receive, if convicted”, which some people tend to assume, but it also doesn’t mean nothing. And given the fact that upward departure is allowed from the federal sentencing guidelines, but not from the statutory maximums for the offenses charged, it is literally all you can tell with certainty from the charges themselves.
I don't know about "evil" medallion cartels, but here's an article from 1985 about the shocking medallion prices in New York City:

https://www.nytimes.com/1985/12/16/nyregion/taxi-medallion-c...

A taxi medallion has been sold for $100,000, a record for the price of these taxi licenses, which once cost $10. The number of medallions has been frozen since 1937 so by law there are only 11,787 medallions, which license cabs to pick up street hails, in the city. But demand has been rising rapidly and so has the price.

...

The first medallion to hit the $100,000 mark was sold earlier this month to a 30-year-old Asian, Stanley Cheung, who lives on the Lower East Side. He is like so many of the city's cabdrivers over the years - energetic young immigrants able to borrow enough money to buy a medallion and a cab and take off in pursuit of the American dream.

However, according to Jay L. Turoff, chairman of the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission, a medallion has been rising in value so much that it is producing a new kind of buyer - the doctor or lawyer or other professional who looks upon the medallion simply as an investment. ...

It reads like similar pieces I saw about high priced medallions in the 2010s. I don't remember seeing articles criticizing taxi medallions in cities where they weren't expensive.
Correction: Hundreds of thousands of Americans chose to poison themselves with drugs that they know can make them extremely addicted, hurt them and possibly kill them. Chapo's sons (and other Mexican and international cartels) didn't force Americans to do anything, the Americans did their own thing freely in most cases, and continue to do so despite wall-to-wall news screaming about the dangers of the fentanyl epidemic. It's hardly secret information that the stuff's available and sometimes even added to other drugs.

Ask HN: Strategy for Choosing PRs to Combine
Env: git monorepo 10 million lines lots eg. 10s of PRs per day. Validation est 90-120mins per PR

Goal: validate PRs fast so release manager can approve them to close PR

Ask: rather than some Jenkins job taking PRs one at time for validation, need a strategy to pick several candidate PRs I can combine and validate together perhaps based on disjointedness of change set

My previous job had zillions of very small repos eg one task, lib. Here running PRs in order is effective, obvious. Each repo had an owner so changes were a bit more parallel. Of course it means building code is somewhat harder because dependencies must be found and combined. Dpkg helped a lot there

Monorepo is the opposite. All the code is in one trunk. It either builds and validates with PR or no. However, there's now more to build and validate and it's no longer obvious which PRs should be considered for a validation run. Sequential processing of today's PRs could run into tomorrow creating an ever increasing backlog.

I want to focus on PR selection. Making the validation faster say through bazel which can better exclude sub validation steps for files that haven't changed, is something we will do regardless
That's a very fair point. I guess the question then is how we should treat recklessness with potential to harm, as there definitely should be a deterrent for that. But perhaps not as much as my examples.

What free speech rights? You have no legal right to compel someone else to display your words on their website.
I think a lot of things in the past ~10 years were a zero interest rate phenomenon. VC driven start-up culture is definitely included in that. Growth for the sake of growth, rather than business fundamentals.
You can prove control of an IP address if they were longer, and the DeviceGeneratedUniquePart was a hash of the certificate.

If you need to renew, you just get a new IP and tell DNS about it, if you're using fixed IPs and can't easily renew without manual work, you're still better off than no encryption.

Instead of proving control of a domain, you'd be proving that an IP is one of the correct ones for a domain.

Tech is advanced enough now that we don't need to conserve every single bit. What you lose in efficiency, you gain in easily being able to tell what part of the IP corresponds to one customer for antiDDOS ratelimiting and the like.

Source routing would probably be best as an optional feature. But if you had a hierarchy with a part explicitly tied to the region, you could source route to the county level at least or even data center level without needing to reveal the exact destination.
> It's ludicrous to me that the default behavior is plugging in your phone to a 30W ludicrously fast charger when you go to bed in the evening, where it then climbs to 100% charge and holds there while you sleep.

Apple already does something similar. It's not configurable beyond on/off but optimized battery charging on MBP, iPhone, and iWatch learns when you're normally awake and holds charging at ~80% overnight until a bit before your normal wakeup time. On MBP it holds at 80% most of the time during the day too if it learns you're rarely running on battery.
Easy. Choose Postgres. I worked with Oracle for 15 years before moving to Postgres. In my experience, Postgres has been better documented, more performant, better standards compliant, etc. Now, you are asking about MySQL and not Oracle, but I’ve never heard anyone say MySQL is better than Oracle, while I have heard that about Postgres many times.
Worth noting Oracle could clear it up very easily, the fact they won't is a worrying tale.
this is a bad game, because it doesn't reflect reality

reality dictates that what is or isn't acceptable content is not a function of platform policy, it's a function of the legal jurisdiction in which the content is produced and/or consumed

this isn't really complicated
> ludicrously fast charger when you go to bed in the evening

This is why I never charge overnight. Just pop the phone on to charge while I'm having a shower in the morning, or in the evening while I'm having dinner. Those time windows seem enough to keep my phone (Pixel 5) sufficiently charged.

> My laptop, likewise, should be able to sit at 85% when on the docking station

Samsung laptops have/had this exact feature, which they called Battery Life Plus[1]

1000 different components is really not that many - especially if you're counting individual resistors and diodes (as the pictures would suggest). These passives are literally pennies or fractions thereof in bulk. You can buy large kits of 100s of resistor values for less than $20.

> How much do you think his more than a thousand different electric components for PCBs would cost, just by itself?

Easily less than $500 based on the items there's a glimpse of - probably much less.

> Do you think he buys each one in bags of 1?

I doubt it - that would be utterly stupid for passives and this guy doesn't seem stupid - if anything obviously frugal to a fault. I think there are too many corners cut - there is some bench equipment that is worth splurging a bit on. But even when you buy small quantities of SMT components they are usually cut off a tape - and in the US sold for a huge ass markup. It seems his bagging and inventory system is homegrown.

Test Flakiness: Improper Use of Timeouts (Blog Post)
speech 100
You can't legally get around copyright with technicalities, because any bit string can be derived from any other bit string by a sequence of one bit edits, and according to the legal doctrine, if we start with a copyrighted work, each such edit is creates a derived work.

You can disguise borrowed code such that, in the first place, nobody will suspect that it's derived from anything, and even then, they won't have evidence that it's derived.

Changing a few names and superficial organization details, on a large and significant work, will likely not fool anyone.

If it's a small module or just one function, quite probably easily so. You don't even have to understand how the code works; if you just know the paper from where the original author got the code, you can just say you implemented the detailed requirements there and validated it on the available test vectors.

Yeah I have friends who don't work in tech (the horror I know) and they Uber/Doordash sometimes when they're in between jobs. From everything they've told me you make pretty good money though they recommend doing it to supplement and bridge income rather than trying to do it full time (apparently it can be mentally draining if you do it for hours on end).

I'm guessing posters here either have a view distorted by living in California/NYC or just have the data wrong.
I'm talking about the basic math, absent all other factors. Given a choice between an N% raise two years in a row or a 2N% raise on the first year, the latter is more money.

You choose, base salary is 100k and target raise is 10% two years in a row or 20% in the first year only. Do you want $120k + $120k or do you want $110k + $121k?

This involves the assumption that the "no raise" year is a one-off event to offset the double raises the previous year. It's a good deal.
