It depends on what you mean by 'overpriced'. Most people are talking about housing unaffordability which is not limited to trendy places. The house I rented in Kansas City Missouri in 2009 for $900 was bought by the owners in 2007 for $120k. Zillow estimates that same home would rent for $1800 a month and is valued at $269k. KCMO is not trendy or even a desirable place to live.
It doesn't reduce the entropy any, so I don't see how it could be less secure (assuming you don't count "with a C" as the additional words, which obviously you wouldn't).
Have people building games today that use works under license learned this lesson and purchased perpetual licenses, or are they still trying to save money by purchasing narrow licenses that don't work for re-releases or remakes or similar?

Show HN: API for Microsoft Guidance
Was thinking about making web app's with guidance but it doesn't support JS yet, so I made a API for myself to consume. Figured I would post it on here as well.
Flipping the bit to default on for biking to work at my last job was such a huge change, won mostly by a couple months nudges.

There's a general interest of mine in of trying to make effective habits. Questioning what's about & inquiring, what would be a good choice here, & trying to make it happen. Making this a broad pattern we apply regularly, with habit, across situations.

A positive outlook isn't about discipline: that's a negative framing of the effort. The positive take is doing good things, that lead to better conditions latter.
See: https://ooni.org/post/2022-quick-look-quic-censorship/

I assume Google and co. will fix this if it ever starts to seriously benefit platforms like KiwiFarms, which in the last year was being blocked by CenturyLink, a major US ISP. I also predict these QUICfixes will be met with broad enthusiasm by HNers.
But I'm not really making a choice. I'm open to anything, i don't want to restrict myself. I have and do use the things i mentioned a lot (node/python).
I was just curious what the people have to say since i noticed this recently. I don't really need the validation since I'll try out all available options due to curiosity anyway.
Have they actually agreed on how to fix this now?
because they sell Plus.
Hmm I've never thought of teams vs expert devs as similar to horizontal vs vertical scaling, but it does fit surprisingly well.
No, I clearly meant "literally"

Don't be a pedant.
I don't think so. I think its because everything has become commoditized now.

iPhone have gotten more and more like glass art objects than functional phones. Apple knows people want their products, and their whole model made to extract as much money out of people as possible (apple care) obviously shows they are masters of capitalism and creating tons of shareholder value. It sucks, but hey at least I'll use the gains from holding apple stocks to spend on something else (which will also break lol).

I find it much better now that I don't spend money on anything beyond basic functionality and create the aesthetics around it myself. I save a ton of money, and makes me feel better that I don't contribute to these companies beyond holding their stocks.

I appreciate the quality items from my past (that were not that high quality to begin with during their time - they were just built better than what's available today at similar price points) that have lasted to this day. Everything else just gets tossed out when I'm done using it, and I buy it either used or the lowest end model.
Yep, Caddy has metrics: https://caddyserver.com/docs/metrics

But caveat: we don't have maintainers who understand metrics currently, so it's nowhere near as good as we'd hope it to be. Help wanted!
I just realized that I've worked in the software biz for 30 years now, on top of 10 as a student/hobbyist. Halfway thru my career, I quickly pivoted from I love programming and want to do this forever to I'm getting sick of this; my engergies are better spent as an architect/manager.

But at 50, I'm feeling burned out about doing anything for 40+ hours per week anymore. I'm embarking on an adventure with cancer right now, and if I survive it then I'll do my best to find a way to wind down so that I work half-time or zero.

I'd rather be somewhere warm and bleak, nailing houses together for Habitat for Humanity.
Or, your idea of an incel is incorrect. To me, you are close to an incel type because lameness makes women disgusted. I guess we'll never know...
When I graduated from Columbia in 1999, I interviewed and got offers at various tech startups, but entry-level jobs on the "PM track" for those without a CS/engineering degree didn't formally exist at the likes of Microsoft or Yahoo as far as I know. I had a technical background, but was almost entirely self-taught, and had no interest in writing code for money anyway. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36027171>

Of my offers I chose an investment banking job where I worked with tech companies. Thank goodness for that; I got to participate in the dotcom bubble without being directly swept up in its popping, and saw the Valley immediately post-bubble collapse. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34726735>
I had heard of the AIA forms but not the NAEB, thanks for sharing that one. Looking forward to checking it out.

I really like the framing of "an enduring organization that is widely trusted." Many of these are industry associations, but YC doesn't fit that criteria with the SAFE. Your definition captures all of the examples I can think of.

M$ has mastered the art of buying politicians long ago
Most crypto grifters have cashed out, moved on to other projects, and are keen for people to forget that chapter.

There is still a monumental amount of notional markups that need to be erased - this is not a real market and there is no real price discovery. The real $ have been round tripped many times over, I don't think there's a single "stablecoin" out there that's worth any constant amount.
I want to interpret this charitably, but I've travelled with touring musicians before (even Mac-obsessed ones) and none of their setups are iPad-ible. You might be able to get it to work with a 1i1o DAC for clean audio output, but... genuinely nobody I know would bother with that. The requirements for live performance are brutal, even this standalone Push would be borderline suicide to rely on for a show.
Replace a 31% effective solution with no solution? very impressive
It would be better phrased as "most ... intensive part of an automotive assembly plant". Generally, the only big thing that assembly plants actually manufacture is the body (including painting the body)

Once production was shut down at my plant because it was too cold and the natural gas company said they had to use the gas for residential customers.

I understand the reasoning, and YouTrack will fail the open-source test. I mention it as an option because we needed a self-hosted project management platform (for regulatory reasons), and I could not find any open-source options that I could put in front of non-tech people with a straight face. FOSS surprisingly skips over this area (maybe because many engineers seem to dislike "project management").
Homework Machine – A machine that writes stuff for you – in your own handwriting
Diceware is supposed to be done with Dice in an entirely offline manner. I guess a local program is still useful, but in theory the program could be a shoddy RNG with non-random passwords. The program shouldn't be trusted unless you wrote it yourself, or otherwise performed a security audit yourself.

For all of its faults, 5x six-sided dice looking up this wordlist (https://theworld.com/~reinhold/diceware.wordlist.asc) is something that can be accomplished by hand, without computer assistance.

Assuming you have trustworthy dice (they don't have to be perfectly balanced, just something you can trust to be random), then you can diceware your own password by hand.

Ask HN: How is a data warehouse different to an SQL RDMBS?
Hey folks, forgive the potentially dumb question.

I've been using standard RDBMSs (mostly MySQL and PostgreSQL) for a little over 20 years, but I've never dabbled in Data Warehouses. I'm trying to understand the technical differences between the two.

The top answer on (my) google search for "differences between a database and a data warehouse" is that "a database is any collection of data organized for storage, accessibility, and retrieval. A data warehouse is a type of database the integrates copies of transaction data from disparate source systems and provisions them for analytical use."

That speaks more to the purpose of the Data Warehouse, and less to its underlying structure.

I've also come across articles that espouse the benefits of a Data Warehouse in terms of OLAP (versus OLTP). I understand the basic premise of this, but yeah I'm just trying to picture what it is about a Data Warehouse under the hood that makes it superior.

Can you kind folks please point me in the right direction? Technical depth welcome.

Thanks!
Non-walking commutes are a downhill slope, but offices that look like bullpens suck also. In a knowledge business the work environment has to provide peace and quiet, not a playpen.
Ask HN: Transitioning to ML Systems and Performance Work: Advice Needed
I hope you're all doing great! I'm an ML Engineer currently working at a FAANG company, where I primarily focus on data science analysis and basic model building. However, I'm eager to switch gears and dive into the exciting world of ML systems and performance work. I want to work on optimizing the DNN stack, developing training/serving/inference systems, and delving into low-level ML compilers. Here's the catch: my experience in this area is limited, as I last worked with simple DNNs during my undergraduate and master's studies about five years ago.

I'd love to hear from those of you who have successfully made a similar transition or have valuable insights to share. How can I effectively pivot my career towards ML systems and performance work? What steps should I take to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge? Are there any specific resources, courses, or projects you would recommend for gaining hands-on experience in this field?

Nowhere did anyone say anything about women in general not working at OPs company. It was clear this was an attractive woman by these guys standards, not some average woman.
The XKCD comic was absolutely about randomly generating a four word password, not picking four words that mean something to you. That's how the math works is if each word is random.
Right, so in total ignorance what I would do is just make a GPT powered text compressor and decompressor using a range coder with its probabilities at each token set by the model. Care would need to be taken with precision and end termination so a bias wouldn't be introduced (more care than typical in compressors, since no one normally cares much about 0.01% inefficiencies-- things like end termination have been addressed by bijective range coders).

Then to use it for stego just take your headerless ciphertext and decompress it. Tada: you get model output. To decode the stego just compress it. Assuming everything was built right and that your ciphertext is uniform, the output should be indistinguishable from the model just sampling using an RNG.

As a bonus, you don't even have a stego tool on your computer you just have a particularly carefully constructed text compressor and decompressor that is perfectly usable (and even state of the art in compression rate, given a big enough model) for the compression application.
What's so sad is that is what happened to a grandma of mine. I had come out of the closet (she supported me 100%) and she spoke about it to her church friends and talking about how much she's learned in supporting me. Well, I guess one of those friends didn't share the same beliefs. And the pastor met with her and my grandpa and said that they were no longer welcome at the church. The church they've both attended since they were children.

Thankfully they're fine and don't rely on the church. But it, again, reiterates how much so much of it is viewed as a moral failure. And how much our nation loves punishment more than we love support.
It mandates perfect forward secrecy TLS cipher modes mandatory which makes it impossible for man-in-the-middle hardware to intercept and read users' connections while still pretending to be secure.

There was quite a bit of pushback on this in the IETF from financial institutions that think they have mandatory obligations to spy on their employees.

hello Paul,
thanks a lot for your feedback. I really appreciate that and we'll take it into consideration for our next steps. We saw people struggling with vector search that retrieves half of the relevant paragraph, just because it was chunked base on the qty of tokens. So our first step is to give users (I'm not talking about people that know Python, NLTK, and LangChain) can pre-process their embeddings, adding there images, and making cleansing, removing at least punctuations and stop-words, with a few clicks. But you're totally right - now we have to think not about a single document pre-processing but about embedding large set of documents.

Really appreciate your time and hope to have your star or see you among our watchers.
I had not heard of ConsensusDocs, thanks for sharing. I'm especially fascinated by cases like these where you have to pay for access to the standard contracts. Looking forward to learning more about them.

Sounds good re the other question, thanks in advance
I don't think I agree. The rate of progress in the field, I think, makes waiting until the dust settles a very smart move.
Yeah, there are a couple exceptions. Roland used to make a popular master keyboard. My main question is why someone would want a $2500 controller, when at that price you could get something like a CP88.

route planning / fleet management i think is a huge optimization problem. perhaps you can cut it for MVP but it would require having a big multiple of drivers to provide the same service

Exactly, it uses QUIC as the transport layer. You can do more with QUIC, there are beta implementations to use it for WebRTC data channels[1] and there have been experiments to use it for for WebRTC media transport, for example[2].

Difficult to see how US can slow down China's effort at energy self sufficiency - silicon is abundant, and they have already built up a substantially indigenous manufacturing supply chain. Perhaps further sanctions on Xinjiang, immiserate the local population, aim for societal disruption
The current documented plans revolve around TUF (https://peps.python.org/pep-0458/, https://peps.python.org/pep-0480/). Those links have probably bit rotted a bit by now, progress has been slow on implementing them for a number of reasons (mostly OSS reasons, volunteers etc).

There's also a general consensus (not documented) that sigstore will play some kind of role here. Possibly in-toto as well?

In the 10 years since my post that you referenced, we've laid some decent plans I believe, and have just slowly been working on them, to the extent that we've been able to given our own time constraints.

I don’t disagree with any of this.

I think the murky part is how much was followed seriously by people that didn’t know better, how much was liberals trolling or themselves not knowing how much was a joke to rile them up, how much was straight larping, etc.

You know that quote about when to get out of the stock market, when your shoe shine boy is giving you tips? When I had a VERY liberal friend start ranting about QAnon very seriously I knew she fell into the same exact type of person that believed it just on the opposite spectrum.

The rest of us knew it was trolling and jokes and bs, but man she flipped out on me when I tried to tell her that. I was effectively signing up to be a Nazi in her eyes, I had no idea at the time.

Anyhow… this isn’t a new problem and I don’t think it can be solved. I grant that the reach is larger than previous thought.

I take that back. Open mockery of the ideas is how it’s solved. NOT mockery of the people that believe it, and certainly not grouping them into boomers or conservatives or Nazis or TERFs or etc etc.
I think it's all a bit "in the eye of the beholder" as far as protocols. Here I mean the message patterns and implicit state models, ignoring software design choices.

I'd say the IP protocol is asynchronous in terms of flinging individual packets around. They can be buffered, delayed, etc. They can arrive at the recipient without notice.

TCP starts to make it "more synchronous" since the two parties have to signal back and forth negotiate coordinated buffers and perform a sequence of steps within timeout deadlines.

SMTP seems more asynchronous in terms of whole messages being delivered and stored without protocol-level coordination between messages.

Non-pipelined HTTP 1.1 is both "more synchronous" and "less synchronous". It adds more timing behavior to the use of TCP to have simplex phases of client-sending and server-sending. At the same time, you can think of the request and response messages a bit like email messages to be stored and forwarded. But there are narrower response time limits for an HTTP message pair to succeed or fail at the transport level compared to a message and reply via email.

Of course, these different scenarios are happening all at once in a normal SMTP or HTTP exchange. So the abstractions layered over introduce new protocol units which may have synchronous or asynchronous characteristics, while the underlying primitives continue to also occur with their own apparent characteristics.

A similar issue exists with voice over IP. The protocol is duplex streams which seems quite asynchronous to me. But a typical conversation involves synchronization at human language boundaries and is quite sensitive to latency. Conference calls can fall apart when participants lose synchronization and start talking over each other. This is a social communication protocol layered over the underlying audio streaming protocol.
> I guess that the move didn't have as much effect as people thought it did, and that's why they're continuing the rollout.

1 million people canceled their netflix accounts in Spain over the change. The new policy has already cost them several million dollars. That's a pretty major effect. Maybe they think people sharing passwords costs them more over time, or maybe they're just willing to hemorrhage users now hoping that they'll somehow win some back later under tighter restrictions, and at higher prices. It still seems like a gamble to me, considering they have a ton of competition with better libraries.

I think cracking down on the worst offenders (hundreds of people all over the globe using the same account) and keeping accounts to a reasonable number of simultaneous streams would have been a much better option.
My mistake, that one part (that says it's fine for us to spy on Five Eyes citizens) was a directive to staff, not the public. Nothing in my post changes.
Looks nice, congrats on launch! I hope to see this concept expand beyond SaaS.

My company deals a lot with government contracts, which is a slightly different beast in that they are actually semi-structured (via FAR and DFAR), but would be extremely useful to have tools to help us understand and track our contracts at a glance, and create compliant sub-contracts (for instance identify flow-down clauses).

Probably such tools exist, but gov contracting tools are typically extremely expensive, not targeting small business.
Well, you only need one six-sided die really. It's really fun to do as well. I highly recommend the EFF wordlist though.
Birds and numerous other animals (including humans) tear off or chew food for infants. Making artwork sufficiently durable to last thousands of years is the only recent invention here.

Generally conservative states are going to have the government more involved with how kids are raised as a method of social control. I'm in a liberal part of the country and I see kids walking/biking around all the time, while the conservative state I grew up in would almost certainly have the police at least stop them and probably take them home.

The 'parental freedom' stuff is really just the 'you're free to not ensure your children are educated'.
That might be true now, but I spent a lot of time trying to use caddy v2 and not being able to since the only docs where for json and some things where available in caddyfile and some in json.

If it is fixed now then that is great, but it took at least a year (I'm guessing more) after the launch of v2.
