I've already taken a few steps in the recovery process, but I'm looking for additional advice on how to proceed. If anyone has experienced a similar situation or has knowledge about recovering hacked Instagram accounts, your insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you all in advance for your assistance and support. Your expertise and advice will make a significant difference in helping me recover my hacked Instagram account and ensuring the safety of my personal information. Feel free to reach out to me via this post.
I think so, yes, they all get desensitized. Ever talked about death with a doctor?
I would argue 25% in perpetuity is not fair. Invested sum * interest based on risk, should be paid out to initial investors and then they should become "ordinary" employees of the company.

What you described is a discount version of ordinary capitalist company.

While it is a very interesting project, why would I prefer this over something like Go/Zig with a single toolchain for multiple OS/arches or Java with its byte code as a cross platform deployable artifact?

I should make it absolutely clear that this is in no way taking a dig at the author’s work — I’d simply like to understand the practical use for something like this.
>So 5x engineers are probably a thing that exists. But let’s take a step back and remember what those studies were mostly measuring, namely the time it takes individuals to complete a programming task.

That's exactly what the "10x programmer" meme refers to: Someone that can complete programming tasks 10x faster

>It’s easy to envisage scenarios where the 5x person writes code that’s incredibly difficult for others to maintain or a median code-contributor making 5x contributions through mentoring other team members, fostering team cohesiveness, or their domain expertise.

We can certainly envisage such scenarios, but I think most programmers have met someone that works 5x faster than average and someone that works 5x slower than average but produces similar code and has proportional effects on the team/project. That's a 25x difference.

>This isn’t even touching on the fact that programming is rapidly changing with the rise of generative AI, where it’s not hard to imagine a future where the median engineer will have a much more level playing field with the people who are 5x better at individual tasks.

Give it a decade or two. Right now AI code generation is mainly used to automate easy and repetitive tasks. In other industries such work would be done by paralegals, nurses, etc.

Reminds me of the book "Kiss, Bow, Or Shake Hands" by Morrison and Conaway.

There are many dimensions of cultural differences and values to navigate, including:

- Physical social distance

- Collective - individualist

- Transactional - social

- Generosity - frugality

- Past-, present-, or future-centric

- Hierarchy - egalitarian

- Blunt - saving face

- Adversarial - cooperative

- Organic - rigid process
How so? LLMs like GPT4 have no issue generating text in Spanish, for example.

Or, they no longer have free 3rd party access but provide a paid tier that allows 3rd party access. Say $10 a month, you have to be logged in but it means you can still use the app of your choice. They can limit the amount of requests to something well above the average person use but low enough that is isn't abused by data scrapping.

It seems like a decent middle ground. But what would I know, I am but the son of a candle maker! I know nothing!
Everyone in the room is laughing. „What is it?“ - „Oh, Jimmy just sent a meme. You wouldn’t get it“. How does that feel like?

Trouble is, you’re way too old to understand the implications of not being in touch with your social group. If everyone else is in the loop but you’re not, your dead, socially. If you’re especially unlucky, you’ll be treated as the weirdo outcast with Luddite parents. You cannot imagine how mean kids are.
This problem is bigger than you think. Having to live through years of shaming and being alone causes trouble later in life.
I think the answer is that packaging apps for Sandstorm is a bad hack, as ripping out the auth system and design granularity is all hard for an existing application. The best Sandstorm apps are written for Sandstorm, and in those cases, the granularity and built-in authentication make it way easier to write an app. I wrote a Sandstorm-native app in less than an hour.

But if you built your entire application assuming you're shipping it via Docker, untangling the sheer amount of redundant garbage you need to pare down to a single-document app that accepts outside authentication and security, ends up being a ton of work to package and then maintain it long-term.

Ideally, I think having apps not made for Sandstorm originally is mostly just a strategy to get enough people operating on Sandstorm's model for people to build Sandstorm-specific apps in earnest.
So if you're making the argument that AI is a human when it comes to the copyright, does that mean that its output is copyrightable just like a humans?

Does that mean that OpenAI/SD whoever now owns the work created in such a way?

It would logically follow from your reasoning.

If it's not a bank and not state backed/insured, it might as well be crypto. With crypto, at least in cold storage, there is a lot less chance of losing your money and no chance of getting a dreaded 'your account was indefinitely suspended' from the 'AI' at Paypal. And having no recourse whatsoever.

Still, personally, I distribute over all kinds of banks (where I get E100k per bank when they fall, so I make sure I'm under that amount per bank) and assets so the fallout is minimal if something falls. Well, unless it's a 1929 event of course; then it remains to be seen what is left after. But then crypto is wiped out too; people gotta live, so they will mass sell off.

It can use both. ZHA is included in base HA. Z2M is an optional addon. Z2M has better support for obscure devices in my experience. I Also strongly prefer the management interface in z2m.

Is! We're not dead yet! (see my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36193093).

I don't think app packaging could be said to be the achilles heel -- how much work it involves depends a lot on the app (some things are very easy, others can be painful), but it is certainly not the case that Sandstorm didn't take off because packaging was too hard.
Yes, all employees have 1 share. We operate on a model of Consensus Democracy or Do-ocracy, which means there's no real "voting". All members must more-or-less agree to things that involve them. In the case of a hostile takeover, it simply wouldn't work because everyone is involved, therefore everyone gets a say in the matter, therefore it doesn't happen because nobody would want that.

We simply don't consider the fact that people who started work first started with a less-oiled machine and took more personal risk. If you wanted you could, but we don't because we simply don't mind. Personally I don't believe in using the fact that I started doing something first as a reason to get a greater share of what other people produce when they start working.

It works out in the end. Sure, I spent a lot of money on my tools, and some other guy is using them because he doesn't have his own. But if he sticks with it he'll end up buying his own tools, and I'll use them sometimes, and eventually he'll have an apprentice of his own who will use his tools. Not to mention, having someone to help is a lot better than not having anyone.

It's ultimately up to the workers at each specific firm to decide exactly how to handle these things. One firm could decide that initial-risk-takers deserve a bigger cut, others could decide not to. The group consensus is what matters most.

Blinded by the implementation we forgot that maybe it's the software (ideas) on top that matters most. The real magic is in the language, not in the brain or transformer. Both the brain and transformer learn language from external sources. There are lots of patterns in language, patterns both humans and AIs use to act intelligently. These patterns act like self replicators (memes) under an evolutionary process. That's where the language smarts comes from - language level evolution. Humans are just small cogs in this language oversystem.

Excellent clarification. I suspect this is at a natural Schelling point: don't say much; because more answers would only lead to more questions. The trade secret aspect includes that lineage. It's an edge.

Even in his post, only the first and second short sections hint in passing what's linage about training would be wanted or why. I'm not clear what people worry is at stake.

I will hunt these comments on this question as well. What are the incremental concerns of AI literate people.
If this is CalPERS, CalPERS is about 70% funded. Which means that a huge chunk of the $112k in "benefits" for these workers is actually being used to compensate for pension fund deficits for prior employees. In no actual way are these 'top-up' funds actually a benefit for the new pooper-scooper employees who are technically getting credited with the "benefit" as part of their total compensation.

Among benefits I think only pensions are averaged across all employees in this way. Even health care insurance varies based on which of the insurance options an individual employee picks. And payroll taxes (social security, at least) cap out somewhere in the low 6 figures.
Do you really want to give an AI control of your future?
> the IDE gives such great hints on things already

Requirement to use IDE is one of reasons I don't like Java. I wrote/write code in multiple languages and for all of them a simple text editor is enough. I usually don't use auto-complete because it distracts me and I type fast anyway. But with Java it's hard to be productive without an IDE.
Never mind “pretending they can handle full power”. Remember this story?

Humans are not rational economic units. There's much more at play. My issue with UBI (and too lax welfare in general) is cultural issues. Once you get multiple generations of people who never worked.. It's not good.

Personally I think USSR was somewhat close to UBI. Working was mandatory and pay was crap. But everybody looked the other way when somebody slacked or was drunk at work all the time. It was next to impossible to get fired for poor performance or drink at work and so on. The result was that good chunk of population abused this by drinking their days away and doing least possible amount of work. While other portion of population was fed up with the former and didn't give a fuck either. Productivity was very low. Aside from shadow economy where the later group worked their asses off. Doing their best to build a good life for themselves and not support slackers too much.
The risk is real and reasonable if one is willing to rationalise it as a hobby / learning / playing with hardware and a trivial amount of soldering.

In my case I wanted to play with sensors and the pico w. A pi with a sprinkling of c#, Nats, and influxdb connects, controls Ikea stuff, and reports all the things.

Micropython on the pico is not my favourite part of the process but it might have been faster for me than just writing in c.
I think even there the value of things denominated in USD is a bit more stable, it's the local currency that is plummeting in value
What happens when YC decides to shut down HN? Or, alternatively, they do $THING you don't like?

Worst case, with Lemmy, some server op decides to rage quit and shut down the server, and you're left in the same situation as if HN decided to just shut down without notice. In the other scenario, with Lemmy, you do the same thing you would if the same thing happened at HN: either play along or take your ball and go home.

You're right that being federated doesn't magically make people into reasonable humans. If you happen to discover that technology, please let me know; I have several hundred thousand people I'd like to use it on for starters lol.... But, at least with Lemmy, you have an easy option to start up your own server if you don't like how someone is running one that you participate on.

> Most Americans own their home

Yes, but the vast majority of that equity is in the house itself, not in the land underneath it. On top of that, land in the suburbs is not as valuable as, say, land in Downtown (which is a big part of why the house itself is most of the value of a typical home).

> Most wealthy do not have their wealth in land.

Maybe not directly, but indirectly the vast majority of their wealth boils down to land. Every skyscraper, every warehouse, every factory, every mall, all those consume large swaths of typically-valuable land. In short:

> LVT would mostly fall on middle class homeowners, not the wealthy.

It would mostly fall on whomever owns the most land value - and that is overwhelmingly massive corporations and rich people. A middle class homeowner owns a tiny amount of land value in comparison - certainly far below their equal share, and therein lies the rub: 100% LVT disbursed directly, evenly, and entirely as UBI serves as a self-balancing system:

- If you own less land value than your equal share, you're paid for it

- If you own more land value than your equal share, you pay for it

That's purely theoretical (it's kind of the spherical frictionless cow of Georgist economics), but it should nonetheless illustrate that homeowners will in the vast majority of cases come out vastly ahead under LVT+UBI. Put simply: unless you own a single-family home in Downtown SF, replacing as many taxes as possible with LVT and getting back any surplus as UBI is in your best financial interest.
The author's attitude reminds me of one of the best software articles ever, "Cash Cow in the Tar Pit" (https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/so/1996/03/s3041/13rR...).

The reason a "legacy" system seems so clunky and over-engineered and hard to modify and has so much corner case handling is: real-world experience and bug-fixes. When you throw that old cow in the tar pit and start developing your shiny new application, you throw all those years of hard-earned experience away with it. By the time your application works as well as the old one, it will be just as ugly.

FWIW, I have been running HA in a qemu VM on a NUC for years, and it is one of the most stable pieces of software I use. It supports every device I can throw at it, and the automations, while clunky, are easy to manage, as long as you keep KISS in mind.
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if every moderator from every subreddit who joins this 'protest' finds that their account is removed from moderation privileges and they end up with a banned account.

In no way, shape or form does a moderator "own" a subreddit. They are merely harvesting the land on Reddit's server farm. At the first sign of disagreeable dissent The Reddit Overlords, with a few clicks of the keyboard, can and will remove the protesters from their property. Any appeals will go to /Dev/Null.

I'm genuinely surprised that moderators are putting what little power on the site they have at risk. We all know that most moderators like a good power flex and some genuinely thrive off it yet I don't think they have thought this through. While they think it may be a noble and just cause Reddit won't tolerate a dip in ad revenue and will happily nuke their accounts and hand the subreddit off to someone else who will toe the line in exchange for free janitorial and field plowing duties.
Lots of comments here chiding OP for running or talking about this; I think there's something to learn here.

This is just a hobbyist prompt and api. If nothing else, I'd say at minimum this highlights that there are likely much larger farms that have been operating in a similar way but at larger scale for longer periods of time (but not talking about it)

Can anyone comment on whether Pyscript vs AppDaemon is the better path? It felt like to me as someone that codes as a living PyScript was the better choice, but I also only ever used Python in college and grad school, and just haven't had the time to investigate a difference between the two and wanted to just get started. Using PyScript seems easy but it also feels like its just the main authors preferred way of working and is pretty buggy outside of how he likes to work in Jupyter notebooks

The Home Assistant community seems to have the entire gambit of people who can't code at all, the people who never coded professionally and make riduclously complex things like the fabled Excel accountants, to the professional developers doing stuff for fun, but nobody actually shares anything worthwhile outside of awful YAML and youtubes about awful YAML.
There's probably thousands of peopple doing this just for lols. Anyone can do this with an hour or two to spare... yep, we're probably talking with bots more often than with real humans :(

How much time do you spend outside doing stuff with your kid? How much time do you spend talking with your kid re stuff she's doing at school, or stuff she's seen on her phone? How do you moderate smartphone usage (apart from the time limitation)? How do you motivate her to go outside and explore nature? You want to see her spending more time outside? Try starting with getting out yourself, taking her with you.
In reality, it's more likely that UBI-happy people would move to cheap backcountry while working people would move to more productive areas. Resulting in ghettos with little interaction between both groups. I wouldn't be surprised if over time one group decided it's about time to stop paying to strangers far away. Democratical process would be awesome too. With both groups split along UBI size.

I don’t see file systems remaining for anyone outside techies within 5 years. Even now, unless the system wants a file in a particular place, I just save it wherever and conduct a search.

Even as a dev, I can’t say I really know how to use the file system on Mac as I have only owned Mac computers since search became zippy and all development work happens inside an IDE.

Kids don’t know how to use a file system as the speed of search has rendered day to day use of the file system mostly irrelevant.

PC applications are also increasingly disappearing. Things are done on the web (even many “desktop” apps are just the site in an Electron instance) or on the phone.
Most people born in the nineties and before definitely struggle with computers - maybe not the academics in your circle, but anyone not exposed to or interested in technology.

I spent a while working in tech support for small to medium businesses, and boy, did those people have trouble to understand the basic interaction with their computers. Instead of learning the paradigms and applying them to general situations, they would memorise where on the screen to click, in which order.

You’re uncharitable view of generation Z is pretty much proven wrong if that is your assumption on what you can do on Instagram, though. Looks like a classic „my generation was the last good one, everyone else born after is stupid and lazy!“
