My guess is that they aren’t making things less secure. There are flows that let you reset your password but don’t let you login today, so letting you login via those flows would be a step up in usability.

If you don’t have your phone as your second factor or can’t use phone today to reset password, then I don’t expect you’ll be able to login via that mechanism.
I was a freshman CS student in 2010-2011 and we learned multi-threaded programming in our first year.
I made good experience with an Omron BF 511. As far as I know it doesn’t do this, would have to test though.

The bodyfat measurement is good enough to be usable and the same scale is working in our household for almost 10 years now I believe.
Yes it does request location, it says in the image I linked above. Advertising identifiers are declined roughly 20% of the time according to Adjust:

>In iOS 10, Apple introduced "Limit Ad Tracking" setting for users who do not wish to be tracked by advertising networks. If the setting is enabled the system returns a default all-zero id for that device. As of December 2020, it's estimated that approximately 20% of users turn on this setting.
You also can't tell when you have stepped off of one S-curve onto the next one. We are on the next one that involves feedback and composition. This one is going to last awhile.

At least in most countries.

I think the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Iran since the Islamic Revolution etc went for a less legalistic and more moralistic approach.

(Of course, you should still evaluate these policies on their own merit, instead of tarring them guilty by association. To give a counter-example: Nazi Germany was one of the first places to put anti-animal cruelty laws on the books and officials were very concerned about the dangers of smoking. Two stances that are widely popular today, and rightly so.)
It's true - I have to use SMS as second factor to log into iCloud. Apple don't let you use a generic OTP as MFA - the only other option is to get a notification on your iPhone or iPad. I don't have an iPhone and I rarely have my iPad with me, so SMS is the only way I can log in to icloud.com.
I still have a drobo from 2009ish kicking around. It was the safest way to get a terabyte of data but it would occasionally eat a file. Not what you wanted from a pseudo-RAID device.
I think the whole environment thing in Python is sort of a thing of the past. I got into Python after containers were the default, but I can see why the environments would’ve been brilliant before that. Today they feel more like a really terrible to work with version of node_modules though. I think Python is one of the languages that does dependencies the absolutely most annoying because of how they sort of tie into that.

But it’s not too terrible, it’s it’s not Node or Cargo, but it is really hard to build governance around.
This was an issue we had in one of the previous versions of the kit. Since then we have improved the hardware (now at version 4.2) as well as fixed it in the firmware.

To add on to this, OpenAI definitely tips the scale in terms of making sure it doesn't make mistakes proportional to how likely people are to ever run into those mistakes. If it failed at Harry Potter, there's a lot of people who would find out fast that their product has limitations. If it fails at some obscure topic only a niche fraction of nerds know about, only a niche fraction of nerds become aware that the product has limitations.
That's all bogus excuses. If you suck at work you will get fired. If you are producing to the expected point you will retain your job.

I like to think of it on the cell basis. All you need is to nick off a tumor suppressor gene and you're much closer to a cancerous cell. That tends to be how cancer proliferates, right? One bad cell and then a tumor, metastasis - cancer.

If you consider it on a particle scale, there's 4.5x(10^23) particles/mL. That's about 15 particles per cell per mL, and there's 3^13 cells in the body. Some of which are protected, others susceptible.

I'd take a risk, just not one for funky tasting sweets. Of course I don't do it for regular sweets, either, which possess their own dangers.
I don't know if GP has any examples to back up the claim, but it does seem plausible to me.

I.e., if:

(1) living in the company town is contingent on being an employee,

(2) being accused of politically incorrect speech can end one's employment, and

(3) eviction is ultimately backed by state-sanctioned violence,

then I can see the logic. I'm just not aware of any examples of this actually happening.

OTOH, I have no idea if the plans for those company towns involved behavior standards for conduct in the residential areas, outside of working hours.

The overall setup sounds really dystopian, so hopefully this is the last we'll ever think about it.
I prefer the 1 million dimension giga bryan myself.

Obviously the correct solution though is to sterilize everyone just in case and then throw them into cryogenic suspension.
This is not a persecution complex. As long as you are employed by a company, you are engaging in a business transaction. Once they determine you are no longer worth the expense, they will cut the expense, then your are no longer welcome in Googleville.
Google certainly has an internal LLM of GPT-4 quality (PALM-2 or some variant of it) but they would never allow access to it via an API as it would require them to operate on too high of a loss. Google is too seasoned a company to try something new or interesting that would involve a risk to its ad revenue bottom line.
To be precise, with proper exception handling, the former will throw, but the destructor will also be called as part of the stack-unwind.
Agreed. Unfortunately we usually only see HEPAs in hospital theatres, CSSDs and the occasional lab. Air quality standards are still very lacking here. They haven't been updated since COVID or the east coast bushfires in any way.
Yeah, and the sad thing this is definitely not news.

Don't even need the article, the abstract says exactly the same as this result from 17 years later. What are we doing...?

Ethanol Production Using Corn, Switchgrass, and Wood; Biodiesel Production Using Soybean and Sunflower, March 2005

"Ethanol production using corn grain required 29% more fossil energy than the ethanol fuel produced."

The only difference is that now switchgrass, which was known 17 years ago to have this advantage over corn if cellulosic ethanol is working, has this advantage over corn now that cellulosic ethanol is working...

If you make cellulosic corn ethanol, by the way, that 29% doesn't apply either. It's an apples and oranges to compare sugar based corn ethanol to cellulosic based switchgrass ethanol.
Highsides are unrelated to tankslappers - it is a totally different concept, as discussed in another post. As stated in the article the highside is caused by rear breaking traction and then regaining it while the bike is crossed up, sending you either over the bars or skyward. My own recent highside (6 weeks ago) was caused by an engine seizure after a downchange from fifth in a third gear corner in qualifying. I had the bike leaned over, let out the clutch lever and because of the lean angle the bike rear kicked to the left, grabbed, kicked right and threw me over the bars. Well, so I was told - I do not remember the crash, waking up in the medical centre.

Highsides are particularly nasty, especially if you are knocked out so that you cannot control your crash and get rag dolled.
it takes heavy toll, but even then it might not be enough due to it's driver altitude. Some tips here - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ask-the-performance-t...

I feel this one. At a previous gig we had an entire project to try and pick a logging solution, and none on offer let you do the one fundamental operation that makes using logs bearable; full text search.
User suggesting defaulting to literal imprisonment instead of just providing medical assistance to someone being infected by a virus is why HN gets a bad name in some places. A lot of tech bros have this incurable tendency to give the worst takes on non-tech subjects.
Oh how awful someone uses their life to have sex rather than sit in a dark cubicle being bored out of their mind, hoping time will pass until the next paycheck comes in. Such better way of living.

I find it funny how people equate office = 10hr hard and efficient work vs WFH = 2 mins of work, rest watching tv and having sex.

The truth is people do as much work as they're motivated to do and as much as they have to do. There's teams at Google who never are allowed to launch anything due to corporate bullshit politics. I have a friend who has been there 15 years, maybe one or two of his small feature products launched, dozens got cancelled. Like a good soldier he goes to the office because he feeds his family with Google dollars. That's it.
Regarding your first point, Businesses do move as well to follow Talent. They just do so very slowly because it is quite expensive.
I really don't understand this framing of liberals as becoming pro-war. The opposite of pro-war is not nonresistance, in the same way the opposite of pro-murder wouldn't be anti-self-defense. There is no inconsistency in being against the invasion of Iraq and being against the invasion of Ukraine.

It wasn't the browsers, it's EU regulation. Most sites choose to operate legally in Europe, so the banner is displayed. Devs don't care about making it so only European users see it, so the rest of the world must suffer too.
You need to add multiple passkeys so if one breaks, you can still access the service.

Ditto for Yubikeys (which can be added as a passkey), you need more than one so if you lose it you can still access.

> You're criticizing the 2007 iPhone for features that virtually no phone had in 2007

Accelerometers were pretty common, and quite a few phones had GPS and selfie cams back then. Nokia N95 from early 2007 had all those things, for example - it even supported 3.5G already. Not sure about gyroscopes though, I believe they only started getting popular in phones later, but even then I doubt iPhone was the first.

iPhone did not get popular because of its features. It rode the iPod's fame and did some interesting (from 2007 perspective) UI choices, that's pretty much it. It didn't even start gaining significant traction outside of the US (where iPods weren't that popular either) until much later.
>I'm just not aware of any examples if this actually happening

That's the point. Google by and large treats its employees really well. There's no reason to think it would push this dystopian version of employee housing, instead of something a lot more tame. The only explanation I can think of is that some people just like thinking of themselves as the little guy against the world.
But Appel could deactivate E2E encryption without your knowledge to get all your keys. For instance on request of government agencies.
Out of curiosity, what makes WFH so compelling in that situation?
My FB is unfortunately too active. Some specific communities and types of people still use it.

Outside programming, my interests of left wing issues + community [building] have me primarily interact with women and sites like FB are still over represented in their usage.

I don’t think I have a friend who I didn’t meet online who uses FB.

It’s actually quite annoying. I’ve been trying to move a community I manage away from FB, FBM for a while too.

> they met each other in some political discussion and I felt like I had unlocked some sort of achievement. (They don’t know each other).

Funny
I’m surprised how many hotels block WireGuard now. I’m finding it harder and harder to do this.
Open office layouts can be hard to deal with for me, even if everything else (chair, desk, computer, etc) are good. It varies from day to day but there are days where it's practically impossible to think due to coworkers buzzing around like bees, popping in and out of peripheral vision. When that happens, putting on ANC headphones is like trying to patch a basketball-sized hole in a boat with a piece of chewing gum.

Working from home there are still days when focusing is difficult, but nothing as frustrating as that.
The subject of tax evasion comes up and invariably some flathead has the gall to point at folks that actually work for a living. Like they aren't a rounding error compared to corporate interests and oligarchs in this context.

I'm not having that though - it's all one way in favour of keeping Americanisms because we're familiar enough with them to understand them. No thanks.

On the flipside, I was delighted to hear stories of US kids confusing their parents with British English because they'd watched so much Peppa Pig during lockdown. Very good.

It's gambling, gambling on whatever system is backing the currency, like the bitcoim blockchain or usefulness of anonymity by monero, USD pegged currencies beinf used to avoid needing dollars for international trade,etc.... or maybe people just like to gamble sometimes.

Where's the corporate police? The thought crimes?

If the argument is that consolidation of employers and landlords is worrying, then we can have a discussion.

If the argument is that the corporate police is gonna kidnap you, then you're just a conspiracy theorist with a victim complex.

Of course they can, just not from the stored cloud data. But that's just software. One little patch and your cloud sync is without E2E.

BERT was 5 years ago. Of course it's worse than anything introduced more recently (both inside and outside Google).

I live in Europe (well, Eastern Europe) and couldn't afford to live in an apartment close to the office, so my commute from / to the suburb is 1.5 hours each way, I'd literally get mental health problems at 3 hours a day in the traffic.

So no way I'm returning to the office. Almost all employers here state at least hybrid work (3 office + 2 home) on paper but in reality with tacit acceptance from management it's nearly 100% remote only, with occasional meetup in the office. Like once per sprint or even less.
never worked for google, they periodically tried to recruit me since the day I graduated college from a tier 3 state school

that’s just what they do
This perspective is naive. We need to look back to the seventies, at minimum, to really grok what’s happening in American economies today. I’d say WW1 is a better starting point but getting people to read a few dozen books is hard enough, a few hundred nigh impossible. Fiscal policy is useless without a legislature that legislates. To be clear, the inability of Congress to legislate is akin to pouring powdered magnesium on the fires in America’s interconnected economies. From rampant monopolization, ignored externalities, irrational tax policies, regulatory capture, unpunished white collar criminals roaming free in polite society, war on drugs, systemic racism, to more benign things like the breakdown of separation between church and state. These deeply rooted and unaddressed issues affect inflation in insidious ways that are impossible for the fed to address. So if the fed can’t and Congress won’t, why are we still talking about inflation like anyone with power actually wants to solve it? Simple truth of the matter is everyone empowered is actually welcoming the inflation. We can bicker about why but honestly thinking that congress is interested in controlling it is laughable. We have a functional playbook for inflation but it’s too extreme for the current right of center administration and power centers in congress to even consider or mention.
>You are selective in your concern.

No.

Not at all the question. Two things can be bad at the same time.
I don't understand what having sex with your partner has to do with work, unless it's directly interfering with it. In fact it probably makes your work better.

I'm going to assume the people complaining about this don't have much sex.
ok.

when recruiters unilaterally reach out to you it’s about a specific team and specific role, even if that’s just bait or a hook for other roles. very different than scouring a careers site for all positions. just writing that in case you weren’t familiar with that.
I always consider DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) is basically DLC for diesel.
GPT seems to get improvements of trap questions when they reach social popularity. Even the free version of ChatGPT now knows that a kilogram of feathers weighs the same as a kilogram of lead, and it didn’t always know that.

I’m not sure these types of prompt tricks are a good way of measuring logic unless Google is also implementing these directly into Bard when the hilarious outputs reach enough traction on social media.

I do wonder how OpenAI fix these logical blunders.

My biggest issue with both isn’t that they fall into these traps though. It’s that I can get them to tell me long stories about what happens in Horus Heresy books that never actually happened. Whether the info comes from questionable sources or they are just making things up is sort of irrelevant to me, what “scares” me about those conversations is how true the answers sound, and if they are “lying” about the Horus Heresy then what else will they lie about? Don’t get me wrong, GPT now writes virtually all my JSDoc documentation and it continues to impress me when doing so, but I’m very reluctant to use it for actual information. Not only because of my time wasting conversations about the Horus Heresy but also because we’ve had it “invent” C# functions that had never existed in any version of .Net or C# when tasked to solve problems. I just mention the HH as an example because it’s fun to ask GPT why Magnus did nothing/everything wrong during meetings.
But why? I feel like for some reason you think betting on the price of orange juice or oil is more legitimate and less scammy. It's a speculative derivative of a virtual commodity/system.
I haven't checked their specific app ($119.99) but it's common for packages to have OSS attribution and copyright notices as a dialog or something that the user can click on to see. Since they're presumably not modifying ffmpeg, there's also no source that needs to be provided.

For example, my Chrysler car infotainment has an option in the system settings to see all of the copyright notices and OSS info that goes into the system.
HN is absolutely not doing close to enough to chase away racists, bigots and transphobes. I've had minorities confide in me that they feel unable to participate on HN, one of the most influential sites in our industry, because of the level of bigotry tolerated here. This is one of the many ways in which inequality in our field perpetuates.

This is not good! There are many things Dan could do to make this place more welcoming, from simple things like marking June as pride month/February as Black history month (as many tech communities already do) to loudly banning and making an example out of bigots, making it clear that transphobia, racism and anti-immigrant sentiment (including the open anti-H1B racism so prevalent here) won't be tolerated.

Everyone makes their own decisions, but it is completely reasonable for sites to boycott HN and reject its traffic until this is addressed.
