Forced participation has no place in open society. In such a society, when in private spaces, the valid response when told "You are not welcome here" is to leave and not to harangue the host about open societies.
I'm at least 2x as productive remotely than in the office. Even if commuting didn't waste my time for no reason and I'd like to hang out with people at the office I don't think it would be a good idea.
I’d be curious if it was easy (or even possible) to recover data from a FileVault encrypted drive, which any IT dept worth its salt could remotely wipe
I’ve heard a lot of people saying ‘Why should I return to the office, I’m just as productive at home.’ at my work. And many people are, for the parts of their job which require little collaboration. But the company (via the leadership) sees this type of low collaboration work as being only a component of their jobs and so mandates hybrid working.

Individual employees may disagree, but they’re not the ones responsible for running the company, and they can’t pick and choose which components of their job they want to engage in.
You could place a bunch of orders into services that syntetize DNA or proteins rn.
Some people are even working on stuff like automating protein design whith AI.
There's no reason why humans should notice anything word about a particular order on a service like that.
Reddit is, I believe, the highest US traffic website that runs entirely on the cloud (as in they never invested in datacenters or POPs for traffic serving). To serve every single request they have to pay AWS and Fastly. I suspect that is why the per request pricing they are trying to pass off to 3rd party apps is so high.

Unless things have changed since I left, it is just a highly efficient machine for shoveling investor money into the cloud furnace. I love Reddit to death and would go back in a heartbeat to fix it, but everything is just plastered in "don't touch my garbage" stickers.

(Quick edit to add before the comments come rolling in, Netflix runs its business on the cloud - the expensive parts of pushing Stranger Things episodes into your living room run on real servers)
But what about the other 3 days - office sits empty
Not quite, but it's closer to statifier https://statifier.sourceforge.net/ or ermine https://www.magicermine.com/

You can definitely do most of the same process in hacky ways on Linux already. I don't think you can use it for making the merged shared lib to use for compilation later... But it's only a few hacks away.
The pivot to macOS/iOS was interesting, but then he got semi-Sherlocked (technically not since Apple had already been trying to solve the same issues) which is a huge risk for any Apple developer tool - if not any app on Apple platforms.
> This SEC action has nothing to do with Binance being a crypto exchange

The SEC press release (https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-101) includes a section titled "UNREGISTERED OFFER AND SALE OF CRYPTO ASSETS".

The SEC also filed https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-102 against coinbase.

The coinbase one makes it much more clear that yes, in fact, just being a crypto exchange is the same as being an illegal unregistered securities exchange, and no, the SEC will not let you actually register as one (coinbase has tried).

> This is not a new crypto-related problem. Stockbrokers routinely go to jail for misuse of customer funds.

It being illegal to run ponzi schemes and sell unlicensed securities is not new, but it very much is a crypto problem. The fact that there are currently zero crypto exchanges that are licensed with the SEC, and the SEC's filing against coinbase, together make it clear that it is not legal to operate a crypto exchange in the US.

It is possible to legally operate a stock brokerage. It is not so for crypto. That's a notable difference.
> Cryptographic hash functions like MD5, SHA-2, BLAKE2, etc are deterministic functions, so it doesn't really make sense to talk about Pr[h(x)=h(y)]. Either the collide or not.

Eh, that's how I usually see collision resistance described. The probability is based on generating fresh inputs with any method you want/the most effective attack method available.

But I wouldn't say the hash you linked is nondeterministic just because it has a seed. You can seed MD5, SHA-2, and BLAKE2 by tossing bytes in as a prefix. It'll prevent the same attacks and you can give it the same analysis.

So I'm still not sure in what sense a hash like this is facing different requirements than a cryptographic hash.
Unified memory was a key feature of Silicon Graphics's low end O2 workstation released in 1996 (well before that 2004 date.) It enabled both "unlimited" texture mapping memory and ability to map video streams as texture maps without extra memory moves or copies.

https://en.wikipedia.org//wiki/SGI_O2

When SGI's viability became questionable, I always thought there might be some value in Apple scooping them up for innovative bits of value like that but that never came to pass. Would be interested to know if it was ever considered/rejected and why.

Do nothing and push the problem to the next generation. I may be dead before I'll need to worry about it.
The primary reason the Euro even got so high was the 2008 subprime mortgage fallout. After recovering from that it went to around ~1.1 and seems to remain there with some ups and downs. Considering the current sociopolitical circumstances surrounding the EU it's not strange that it's slightly lower than normal.

I've spent about 10 minutes Googling, and I'm still not sure how I backup and restore passkeys.

I use a password manager with a full backup of the vault, so the answer to most of the parent's question would be solved by getting the vault back from backup. Except:

- passkeys are not yet supported by my password manager, so I'd have to wait for a while

- can I move Safari's passkeys to my password managers afterwards, like I did with passwords ? probably not ?

- can I move my password manager's passkeys to another one if I need to ? I have no idea.

That's where, at least for me, none of this is simpler than I think. The same way reset passwords is an absolute last ditch effort, I hope passkeys can be managed without having to get back to the service every time we change how we want to manage access on our side.
Thats like having a car that always drives me somewhere I don't want before it drives me where I want. What the actual f*ck. How are people okay with having such garbage in their homes. Why not just buy an analog spring scale...

No, you get to profit from increasing supply.
> No. What does “milking financial systems” actually mean?

Are you familiar with Renaissance Technologies, aka RenTec? Assume it would have access to that level of knowledge. But also its own layer of global cognition on top. You could argue that one of its founders helped put Trump in power (Robert Mercer, massive donor and supporter). Imagine what an intelligent, networked and deceptive agent could do at scale.

See the risks in deception set out at https://www.safe.ai/ai-risk#Deception

I personally see no present danger. But I'm not blind to the potential, even of chained agents such as AutoGPT. Beyond that, things can take a chilling turn quickly.

As for biological hosting, we can leave that in science fiction for now. But I'm not sure we wouldn't have called what we have now science fiction in the 90s. Exponential progress be exponential.

Thanks for considering and discussing.

The cost is nowhere near, even with sufficient padding, to what they are asking. The move is a bit too blatant and obvious a push out.
Aren’t you sort of agreeing with me though? If you have to actively brute force your way around safe guards, that you don’t know what are, is it really a good method?

From the answers you (and the others) have obtained, however, I’m not convinced that OpenAI aren’t just “hardcoding” fixes to the traps that become popular. Sure seems like it still can’t logic it’s way around weight.
> Respect to attractive people from well-to-do families who work their behinds off to not coast on stereotypical advantages.

Hey, thanks! Sometimes I feel like we don't get the recognition we deserve (winky-facy emoji) (hot and sweating emoji).
Apart from good health attractiveness is the probability the biggest privilege that you can be born with. It’s normal, attractive people will always have an advantage because it’s in our nature to wanting to be around attractive people for obvious evolutionary reasons. All these studies and articles which basically confirm that humans are after all just another type of animal are getting a bit boring. Yes we know, we have some pretty basic animalistic instincts, because we are just another creature roaming this planet. Accept it and get on with life. Everyone can make themselves more attractive through healthy eating, physical exercise, good hygiene and self care and looking at the positives in life and have an aura of positivity and smiles.
Fully expect most people in the discussion to be pro-remote-work. But does anyone have hard evidence that working from home is as productive as working in the office?
The comment I was replying to put the blame for mental health on "parents having jobs outside of the home during childhood." I think there are far more impactful socialization changes to the childhood experience in the last fifty years than just that; I'm not suggesting that a three year spike in remote work has caused immediate widespread harm.
Is there one complete example of effective code generation comparable to OpenAI?
A lot of intelligence is studying hard, but you can't control whether or not you actually have the desire to pursue such a vector.

I think that no matter how scrupulous any government organization is, there are many motivated actors who would, given an unfiltered record of everyone single person's correspondence and conversations, be able to spin a misleading negative story out of it. This is essentially some people's full-time job and they're good at it.
I think Americans are nicer in general than Europeans (which is weird the first time you work with them), but not disturbingly nice like Koreans and Indians (sorry for the cliché but it's true).

Europeans are rude in comparison.

But those are general culture traits. Corporate working culture traits in America are the worst. Even the northeast Asian usual 'this seems dumb, but my manager/chief want it, so I will execute rather than asking for explanations' isn't as insupportable as American office politics (well, in my case it was a partnership Corp+research institute I worked with, so I guess it might have skewed my judgment)
I am struggling to think of any CEOs that don’t use corpspeak. Are there any?
Banwidth != latency, however.

A truckload of TB disks will give you awesome bandwidth by driving it around to the destination.

The latency of a particular call, however, wouldn't make it usable.

Memory is hierarchical, but any latency beyond NVMe is non factor for treating remote data as memory
Sure but you would have learned it in 1995 too.

> If you let people install the software easily, they'll just pirate and won't buy the software. If you lock things down you'll irritate people and they won't buy the software.

Baked in DRM platforms like App Stores, Steam, etc. seem to be reasonably effective at blocking casual piracy (at least during launch windows) without becoming completely unusable. Some of the DRM pain is compensated for by the convenience of somewhat streamlined access to your software library on multiple devices, with relatively easy download and installation. This doesn't scale well though if you have more than a couple of app launchers/installers to deal with.

Game stores tend to have the nice feature that you can log in on any PC or console and immediately get access to your software library.

Something I'm less enthusiastic about is games (Diablo 4) that require an internet connection even in single player mode (and even if you "own" the physical game disc.)

As a customer I'm not a huge fan of DRM, but as a developer I'm probably OK with outsourcing it to Apple, Valve, Nintendo or whoever as long as it doesn't create usability nightmares.
Welcome to sobriety where you get to see those problems that you were ignoring before. Now you have to put in effort and face the reasons why you started drinking

You've built no support system and relied on your job as your social outlet/life. One bad review and it knocks you to the core. You've moved to a country where you don't speak the language and you haven't picked it up after 9+ months.

Why did you move? For money? A career? Lifestyle change? Please family? Does the original the reasons matter anymore?

If everyone is remote could you move to another country where the language is the same?

I would focus on building a lifestyle outside of work. Join an online game / join a team
New Orleans is a small city surrounded by suburbs to be fair. And part of that city is already car-free. Dunno about the others.
No they wouldn't. Typically outside air systems shut off in fire mode, but they often keep running if there's smoke due to air pollution. If you need to deal with this you need a HEPA.

An alternative for critical facilities like datacentres, is they often just go into recirculation mode. This wouldn't work in locations with persistent air polution.
The same for looks. You can eat healthy and look after yourself, but not control if you want to.

I personally use a bit of a different prompt, so it's tailored for my repo.
But yeah, you can also customize it pretty simply, like you mentioned in the ./src/ai.ts file.

This is a blueprint on how to have checks in the CI, it took me sometime to build and get working - do you know anything that does this out of the box?
Thanks for the feedback eitherway!
Because like anything analog these days, they are hard to find?
to be fair, a lot of people buy a new $1200+ smartphone every year or even every two years, to only get a marginal increase. or lease a car for $400-800/mo without really _needing_ to.

i think a lot of people will pick up a Vision Pro just to see the hype
You have a confusing debating style. It’s not very effective.
Some folks work behind an air gap, hand in their phones at the door, and still turn out good code. Not saying this person does but not everyone's environment can be the same.
- AppStore apps must be sandboxed.

- AppStore apps are reviewed by Apple.

- Apple can ban malicious app in AppStore.

- Apple checks binaries when you run them even they aren't from AppStore due to notarization.

I don't know why you're going to such lengths to defend someone who claimed they would be arrested by the corporate cops for thought crime. Over Google building some employee housing close to their office.
> So, if you use Google to store passwords or passkeys, it would be a good idea to save backup codes for your Google account somewhere safe. (Like you should do anyway.)

Alternatively, if you're locked out of your Google account, these passkeys are also dead as the encryption keys are bound to the account. And passkey reset through email for instance would also probably out of question if it was your primary email account...

People should think long and hard about what services they assign passkeys with their Google accounts, it's a lot more binding than plain password or standard 2FA was.
Fwiw it's not impossible to package all this junk up in Docker. I did it recently. You have to run Docker w/ a whole bunch of flags though, like `--gpus all --ipc=host --ulimit memlock=-1 --ulimit stack=67108864 -p 7860:7860`. And the GPU isn't available during build time unless you do some hacks. But you can build the CUDA junk into the docker image along with Python and all the libs. Combine that with a .bat or .sh to contain the giant `docker run` command and you have a half-OK solution. Aside from having to start docker before being able to run it.
OT but I'm British and this is the first I've heard of a garden meaning anything other than an area for growing food and/or decorative plants.
what "illegal" things can one do with a satellite dish?
Right?! And still, "lycra only" seems to be the standard, and not only for competitive rides.

GCN has over 3 million subscribers on youtube, they post highly informative road bike videos, often with people who competed professionally at the highest levels. Still, they don't wear any protective gear rather than the helmet. For someone who just starts biking and wants more info about the sport, will look at these videos and don't even know about the existence of such a gear or the need for it.

That's just one example, but literally all articles I've read in the past 10 years or so are picturing slim, fit, cyclists wearing just lycra.

It's still a big question mark for me.

They solved an open challenge problem, Protein Structure Prediction, with AlphaFold, which has been nothing short of revolutionary in the structural biology and biochemistry fields. I do scientific research in these fields and the capabilities AlphaFold provides are used now everywhere.
I dont think you understand how localization works. They have a localization file and they send them off to a translation service. The translation service goes through the file and translates the individual strings (or string fragments).

Either the translators made a mistake, and thought it was referring to a ZIP (regardless of capitalization) and translated accordingly, or a developer used the wrong key when assembling the string references - i.e. he used the equivalent of (this is pseudocode as I dont know how they handle localizations):

localize("CompressToArchive", localize("Zip"), localize("File")) - i.e. with a reference to localization of "Zip" (or ZIP, or zip - the dev likely just searched for a string that matched what he wanted to localize)

instead of

localize("CompressToArchive", "Zip", localize("File")) - i.e. with a string of "Zip"

where the strings are defined as:

CompressToArchive: Compress to %1.%2 (same for us and uk)
Zip: ZIP (us) or postcode (uk)
File: File (same for us and uk)
If power consumption is about the same as M1 Max while running the same game at the same settings the only difference becomes battery life...

Binance has not only been more honest than FTX but also more honest than Coinbase.

But this is HN and the people here are smart but lack the intellectual courage and honesty to challenge their beliefs, so they'll believe in things like "SEC trying to save the common investor" despite obvious examples like 2008, FTX, etc.

They apply the same reasoning to war for example, they'll never talk about how comparable the US aggression on Iraq is to the Russian aggression on Ukraine, and will call you a Russian sympathiser if you point this out.

This is expected and completely natural, humans will always find reasons why their actions are good and general just ways to explain their behavior, I think there are experiments that even show it on the biological level when they cut off the right from the left hemisphere.

The SEC's attack on Binance and CB has been part of a multi year attack on cryptocurrencies, everyone here will criticize crypto really hard but never the fact the fed printed huge amounts of USD, causing inflation not only for US citizens but for every country that relies on the US for food and other imports (that are done in USD, so for example country X's reserve in USD is worth less now, and US exporters raise their prices, etc.)

The people here will go to extreme lengths of mental gymnastics to say that the inflation wasn't caused at all by money printing but by covid disrupting the supply chain and by the Russian war.

For relative values of OK - right collarbone/shoulder/4 ribs, right knee ACL (fortunately micro tears, not snapped) and a traumatic brain injury (big bleed).

Most humans can drive fairly well in heavy downpour, solely from the brake lights of the car and occasional glimpses of road markings. Thats almost equivalent to a very poor sensor suite.
Would it be acceptable to you to surgically remove the arm of, say, a 10 week old fetus, on the grounds that it is not able to survive outside the womb and therefore is just a piece of the mother's body at that point?

Do humans even have creativity at this point or do you require a formal proof even for that? Ahah

Now I understand where the friction against accepting that even machines show signs of creativity comes from, I imagine you're an illustrator, so the feeling of becoming obsolete is the bias against machines.
Google is trying to tie the Google account to a single device at the moment. Just yesterday, signing to a work account requires 2FA (enforced by the organization) and then click a number on Gmail app.
There is sometimes a wide gulf between simple to implement and easy to verify. They may not have a Linux box set up with the hardware, drivers and development environment to build ML code. In that case even if the fix is simple, testing it and verifying it works is less simple. But anyone interested in using it on Linux would need to do that setup as a prerequisite anyway.

that's crazy, because biking 10 min to work was my favourite part of going to work.i loved biking thru my city, and having the flexibility to leave when i want, get home fast, and take public transit if i wanted to.

tho tbf i don't work well from home, i need social interaction and less distraction. the bike ride was great to wake up, jam, or think about problems for the day
