> Everybody will have malicious keylogger on their phone eventually

Are there actually any keyloggers for iOS and Android? Unlike on desktop OSes, there isn’t even an API for that, so you’d need an actual OS exploit.

And how do you make sure that that doesn’t come with a keylogger (in a world where a significant number of people were to actually do that)?
Espanso: Cross-platform Text Expander written in Rust
I've struggled with very similar issues for about 25 years. I finally started to break through it just recently, and I give credit to two basic things: Listening to the Huberman Lab podcast (which echoes a lot of good advice in this comment section, and focuses on physiology), and using the system from "Building a Second Brain" to get myself organized. I've always had a problem with having too many ideas and not enough time and energy to pursue them all. Having to choose between them leads fear of missing out on the others, and I never actually managed to finish (or even start, usually) any of them as a result.

The thing that the second brain stuff has done for me is to provide a place to keep those ideas in suspended animation so that I can revisit and touch them up over a longer time period. I can see them all laid out, with clear "do this next" breadcrumbs for myself. Nothing is getting lost, and I'm not missing out on anything. Since setting this up, I've made a ton of progress on a wide variety of things because it's easy to get started again, and I don't get sidetracked by other ideas. I just capture them, make a note to develop them further at a later time, and then get back to work.
How about encryption?

If you think about the numbers as 12% died vs 22% died, then the 51% intuitively makes more sense, although I don’t know if this is the correct explanation. My guess is that 12 and 22 are rounded numbers.

To state the implicit/obvious, the CPU is a 6502 from the assembler mnemonics and specifically a 6510 in a C64 from reference to the 1541 external floppy drive.

> Note that as far as the slope math goes, Bresenham is special since it doesn't require the division of x by y, but BRR lines do. So for short line segments, Bresenham can still "win". In fact, BRR lines also need a bit more elaborate math for the remainder. (So this method really shines if you're able to pull in the 1541 for help. See my upcoming post about drivecode)

The BRR algorithm is 5 cycles per position vs 8-10 cycles for Bresenham, which is impressive. Its step position inner loop calculation is only

> Reddit has experimented with a paid premium service, but they couldn't paywall any core functionality because having as many users as they can get is critical to their success.

Businesses can certainly be "successful" with premium services, especially at Reddit's scale. What's happening there is textbook greed, where leadership chases hockey stick growth. At this point they must understand that this will be the downfall of the service, yet they're intentionally willing to make that sacrifice for short-term gains.

Good riddance. There are plenty of other services that can replace Reddit. The circle of the web.
If you think you may have adhd, and if you have the means, see a GP about it. I was diagnosed about 6 weeks ago and wish I had sorted it out 15 years ago when I first suspected I had it. I’ve probably got a long way to go before I can give advice on how to achieve your goals, but I think it’s an important first step.
Thanks, I looked at PineTime and a few other programmable watches. She decided that she didn’t need an interface and wouldn’t use any function outside of the time. So I went with a Lilygo t-wristband (https://www.lilygo.cc/products/t-wristband).
>That's repeated a lot but it's not entirely accurate. No one can explain how an LLM gives the answers it does (not even the LLM).

Uh I literally said no one fully understands these networks. And you go on to say that my statement isn't accurate then confirm my statement by saying:

>No one can explain how an LLM gives the answers it does (not even the LLM).

I mean this is exactly what I said. We can't explain it... Because we don't fully understand it..

>But the people who build and train LLMs do know how they work -

No they actually don't. The surprising accurate responses of chatGPT were actually not predicted. Many experts literally do not fully understand what's going on. This is categorically true and I can quote them if you need it, but this is easily googable.

>I could feed my younger children that same misinformation and they wouldn't question it. I could tell my parents that their Alexa listens to everything they say and records it forever on a big disk on a satellite in orbit, and they would believe me.

>A Google researcher said that publicly (he got fired), and much discussion took place here. If I was more interested in the topic I could poll people,

I already polled people and did a Google search of HN. My other post was a poll. And a Google search of yielded nothing. This is actually quite strong proof. HN has multitudes of users, not being able to find one is a nearly 0 ratio.

The researcher who got fired by Google is an interesting case. The reason is because he's not referring to gpt4 or gpt3.5 or bard. In subsequent interviews he has said that he's referring to lamda. An internal google LLM that hasn't been released. He said that one is "awake" and specified directly that it's different from the LLMs the public currently plays with.

Nobody can confirm or deny that statement because we can't directly interact with the lamda AI as Google has it locked down pretty hard.
I don't know many people that have gotten sick and can point it back to fast food. I think its more likely that fast food will upset your stomach since its more oily than whatever you make at home.

Interesting. Do you have more information? Thank you.
I can understand that limited position, however then we get into the proper role, size, and make up of government.

The foundation of the US was there was not to be a standing army, in fact they made it unconditional. Only allowing for a defensive navy.

Of course likely most things in the constitution it was quickly ignored and/or "interpreted" to mean something else allowing for massive expanding on both power and size of the federal government

This expansion causes pressure to keep more and more things secret for "operational matters" then before long everything is "operational matters" and need to be secret.

One of the primary reasons the CIA gives for not wanting most things declassified it because it would give away "current capabilities, or operational programs" thus this CIA is already abusing this classification (operational matters ) to keep lots of historical records classified.

>>while refusing to submit itself to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court or sign any treaty that might be even slightly disadvantageous.

Nor Should they and any government official that did that should be tried and convicted of Treason. The US Constitution is the final say for our government, not an international court. I reject globalism of that type.

"Despite claims to the contrary, self-driving cars currently have a _higher_ rate of accidents than human-driven cars, but the injuries are less severe. On average, there are 9.1 self-driving car accidents per million miles driven, while the same rate is 4.1 crashes per million miles for regular vehicles." https://www.natlawreview.com/article/dangers-driverless-cars....

I didn't know that statistics for self-driving car is that good (just 2x worse than humans). Last time I've checked, it was an order of magnitude worse. Perhaps, the statistics is for ideal conditions.
China seeks dialogue, says clash with US would be 'unbearable disaster'
Trust your gut more when you procrastinate - there is a reason why your brain postpones the task instead of doing it for that jolt of dopamine you get when you finish. Reasons include:

- it's not useful. If you have ADHD you are probably full of ideas, some of them pretty bad, some amazing. Don't work on the bad ones.

- you are mentally tired, probably because you are burned out from something else

- you don't have everything you need to do it: dependencies which are unmet, things you don't know that prevent you from doing it, etc

You need to get your dopamine some other way - go for a long run, and the clarity will come to you and you will figure out what's wrong and why you procrastinate.

Ask HN: Recent Thoughts on Windows for Developers?
Clearly Windows is trying to remove the stigma of using Windows for development, adding WSL fairly recently, acquiring GitHub (which has Co-Pilot), extending their relationship with OpenAI and along with this, creating their new dev home system (linked).

What are your thoughts on Windows getting rid of this stigma?
Ask HN: What made you fall in love with engineering?
As the title suggests, the field of engineering doesn't matter. It is the passion of building something that works and solves a particular problem.

How did you become an engineer? And what do you do currently to further polish your skill?

If possible you can link to some of your creations you are proud of.
Social status is related to how much your influence has on others.

From this lens, one can see why the untenured Yale professor is unwilling to move to an unknown university even though there is more money and security: the people you attract to work with you and invitations to fancy events are better by maximising prestige.

This point of view also explains why people are willing to take lower pay in exchange for higher prestige.

Theory of the Leisure Class by Veblen (of Veblen Goods fame)
Ask HN: How did you get out of an echo chamber?
As a person, I've had to get out of echo chambers multiple times in my life. The first time I figured out I was stuck in one was in high school when I understood that the religious ideas parroted by my parents and some close friends were not unique to this religion, but even more importantly were often things that they hadn't really thought deeply about, blocked by taboos and peer pressure from even discussing them. Even more interestingly however, that was not what led me to question those beliefs. It happened much later due to a personal acquaintance who showed me a different religion with which I was short-term obsessed with, until I realized the inconsistencies of both my original ideas and the new ones. The point of this anecdote is not to point out that religion is an echo chamber, but that it was an echo chamber from my point of view since almost everyone around me held the same or very similar beliefs and attempts to question them were met with disdain and disapproval.

Some factors which I think made it hard to detect the echo chamber were the following:
1) There were always default, emotion based answers to respond to common doubts arising in people new to the ideology (children in this case)
2) Doubts which exceeded some limits were met with dismissal and accusations of non-believing instead of reasonable discussion. This invariably caused self-doubt or cognitive dissonance until you would rationalize an idea forcefully.
3) The ideology was deeply connected with many aspects of every day life. You could not have a "proper" marriage without adhering to the rules. There were specific rules for how to behave and what opinions are acceptable.
4) Non-adherance to the rules was met with concern for your well-being or was treated as a betrayal.
5) Multiple authority figures (eg. school teachers) would take the responsibility of teaching the group ideology in addition to what they were supposed to be authoritative on.
6) There was a binary, two uncompromising sides, us vs them
7) Most importantly, there was the illusion that all "normal" people in the world share our common beliefs and if they don't, then they're either misguided, stupid or evil.

Unfortunately, even knowing these signs, it's hard to not get trapped yet again into other echo chambers. Sometimes within these chambers there are people I admire or plain like. Sometimes their ideas can be liberating when you are stuck in another echo chamber. Sometimes it feels good to boost my sense of superiority by mocking the other "dumber" groups. But all of this can have an isolating, stressful and even toxic effect on my life if and when it happens.

So I'm asking to get inspired by you. How did you detect your echo chambers and how did you get out? Also has this helped your life in any way?

Does the article has anything Github specific? All softwares can have bug so moving from Github to anything else is useless. VPN only self-hosted provides some additional protection but that's true for all cloud services like Jira, CI/CD and not a novel issue.
yes it does imply that, The reason they have never been held accountable is because of the redactions, because they punish "whistleblowers" more than people that abuse the system, the power under which they can do that punishment is the secrecy laws themselves

You fail to see they irrevocably connected, the root cause of the abuse it the secrecy, anything other than eliminating the authority, is simply putting a band aid over a bullet hole
Mach was designed to run multiple OS interfaces in the same way that Windows NT was - multiple compatibility layers on top of a common kernel (e.g. WSL1). What is being discussed here is virtualization, for which Mach is no more suited than Linux, Windows, Sys V Unix etc.

Where are you finding these jobs?
The one I think about was when I was building a 3D model of a new office in Unity and the options were either purchasing a material or trying to design one myself with basically 0 experience of doing so. Something like $40 for the material or however long it'd take me to work it out.

The $10 option was genuine though, it was for some SaaS tool to monitor endpoints and text if things broke (about 9 years ago when I had basically zero coding experience) - so just one seat, or me trying to hack something together with text/email notifications and a nice UI. Even now I'd probably still prefer using something like that over writing something in-house, although I'd be more happy to look at self-hosting an open source option.

I used to think social status only meant money. But now I am starting to realize it’s any perceived value that a person can provide in some group setting. For example at church the pastor or those more involved have status. At work, those making impacting decisions have status. When finding a mate, attractive (physically/confident/intelligent) people have more status.

When someone says they are not at your level, you do not have enough status to interact or compete with that person? You don’t have as much perceived valued, but what happens when a princess marries a commoner. Proving the point value is very individualized but at times shared by many.

I know I'm in the minority here on HN, but....look: I feel bad for the developers of the various 3rd-party apps that this is happening. Having the rug pulled from your livlihood just absolutely sucks.

Having said that: Can you really blame Reddit here? Reddit is company which is trying to make money. One of the ways it does that is by building its own app and selling its own ads and showing those ads on its app which it controls and in the way it wants.

Whether or not we agree, and whether or not we think it's the right move, you can't honestly be surprised by this can you? Facebook doesn't have a 3rd-party client. Twitter stopped having 3rd party clients. This is how the game is played.

The mobile app is fine. I use it every day. Is Apollo better? Maybe? Will most of Reddit's users care about this? Doubtful.
I gave my anecdotal evidence, and the evidence of numerous posts on HN and elsewhere you can easily search for. Or just look at the votes on our comments.

Getting one person to post here with one opinion or another doesn't constitute useful data. It just adds one more anecdote. It looks like no one besides the two of us pay attention to this thread.

In any case I engaged to express my opinion, not to prove you or myself right or wrong in our opinions. Time will tell.
A cooperation is never reputable. It is easier to reason with a dog than with a cooperation.

However, me thinks this relates to the times before Github became an offering by Microsoft. But the deal was just too hard to miss, getting this massive army of minion coders who all pray to the octocat and now do the Balmers dance.

I couldn't find the privacy policy for Azure Repos. Does anyone know if it has the same type of statement regarding 'human eyes' for private repos ?
> Evolutionary psychology doesn’t tell us what is adaptive today. Rather, it investigates what was adaptive when humans were nomadic hunter gatherers roughly spanning 300,000 years ago up until about 12,000 years ago before the agricultural revolution.

This boilerplate is deceptive. Status certainly does matter to survival today. The mortality rate of the homeless is very high.
But now it becomes a harder mistake to make. Creating a new repository is easy, but not so easy you would do it by accident.

Importantly when this is discovered you can fire the person who did it, and they can't say it's was an accident, while the fork button to the wrong place is potentially an accident.

I would agree, that is why we were setup to have power distributed not just in 3 branches, but 50 states, and the people themselves.

The more consolidated the power becomes the less we the people are able to govern ourselves.

The presidential elections should be the least important in any time we are not at war, but it seems now everyone looks to not only the Federal government, not one branch and one person in one branch of the federal government to fix all the nations problems.

"The President" has become a title of nobility, which is a sad place to find ourselves.
