The truth is that anti-abortion states have made it extremely clear that they are willing to go to great lengths to criminalize personal healthcare decisions (one of the most important ones a person can make in their life). They will use this data to victimize the women unfortunate enough to live in those states and experience an unwanted pregnancy. It's not a matter of if, only when. The headline is exactly as accurate as it needs to be.

If healthcare included the guaranteed right to a treatment where of adults spend therapeutic time at preschools, then a headline about providing healthcare to sex offenders would absolutely be relevant (as well as obviously truthful).

I never considered only using 11 rounds, though. That'd have a significant performance impact if we could.

> I love the EU's notion of consent wrt privacy

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the EU laws contingent upon legality?

Article 8.2

> Such data must be processed fairly for specified purposes and on the basis of the consent of the person concerned __or some other legitimate basis laid down by law.__ Everyone has the right of access
to data which has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it rectified.

I mean we can take this in good faith, but at the same time Article 20 says everyone is equal in the law but there are several royal families and constitutions that make said families above the law. I love the idea in principle (and far better than nothing) but I personally am not fully trusting. It is, after all, our duties as citizens within a democratic nation(s) to challenge the authority and laws, to keep them in check.
Instead of treating all students like criminals, proctor exams like the rest of the civilized world. Blocking internet or mobile phone service is using a rocket launcher to squash a fly.

> Twitter knows that these employees previously worked at Twitter; that these employees had and continue to have access to Twitter’s trade secrets [...]

This sentence is clearly trying to establish liability by accusing Meta of wilful infringement of Twitter’s rights (i.e. it acted in full knowledge of these fact, even though they may lead to violation of the employees’ restrictive covenants, etc.), as evidenced by the context and indeed the rest of the letter.

As such, the first instance of “Twitter” is surely a mistake; shouldn’t it say “Meta”? This would make sense given the next sentence (“With that knowledge, Meta [...]”).

As this is supposedly from such a large law firm, I’m amazed a mistake like this could slip through; it completely changes the meaning of the entire sentence, even if the intent is recoverable from context.

Does no one proofread Letters before Action? Am I misreading it? Is this fake?

You have a right to speak freely, duties you agree to abide by as an employee, laws you must follow, and an obligation to respect the constitution and the rights of citizens.

Just put the two in a cage and let's see who the worthiest contender really is...
For many schools that’s basically their qualifying exam. Normally multiple professors are involved so that your advisor can’t fire you unjustly, but if you don’t demonstrate you are up to standards on the exam and your advisor doesn’t go to bat for you in their deliberations, you will fail. Normally you have a chance to retake the exam, but two strikes and you’re out.

In my program we had annual committee reviews as well as a review submitted to the program chair and graduate school of the student by their advisor (with the student providing both a self-review and review of their advisor). Ultimately, unless you’re in a sub-field with many faculty, it is hard to get an accurate evaluation from three professors. My other committee members could understand the big picture of my work but they weren’t experts on the specifics, and they were the best equipped faculty in the department to be on my committee besides my advisor. The goal is to make sure that there is a paper trail and multiple professors aware of your progress (or lack thereof), so your advisor can’t just give you the boot for something tertiary like not watching his dog during a holiday weekend.

Professors are aware of their problematic peers in the department. Even if they can’t fire them outright (tenure has pros and cons), they can steer students away from them to more supportive professors (or give you a hint that maybe you should consider a different school during your visit day). Our program chair was very good at helping relocating students who initially started in the lab of one or two bad actors.

While at Sun in the early 2000's, I was part of the due diligence team for an acquisition and had two days to review the entire code base of a 3 year old, 50 person software team.

This was standard practice, and the M&A policies knew that there was no way to actually understand all the code so there was a policy document to describe what to look for.

Of course the red flag things were unexpected 3rd party copyrights and/or license terms in case the code was encumbered.

But "swear words" were on the yellow flag list, in addition to "ToDo", "XXXX", and "Fix Me" types of things.

I remember thinking about places I have been in the past and that the people used those style comments tended to be the better programmers.

I mentioned this to the person leading the evaluation, and was told that point of noticing these kinds of comments was to look a more closely at the nearby code and try to decide if major functionality was missing or being faked.

It all worked out for that acquisition, but I remember being curious about whatever deal had gone bad in the distant past that made them codify this specific practice.
> Why? Give me a good reason why it's worth the effort for small tools I write

Why are you using SPAs with internal routing for small tools?

An SPA only needs to use urls to represent states that should be externally reachable. If you want those states to be externally reachable, then you probably want those states to be indexable by search engines. You also want users to know if a url is mistyped/miscopied and a 404 response page does a good job of that.

In the end, given the spec, it is on you to carefully consider amd have a good reason to go against the recommendations.

You can ask the same questions to ChatGPT and get the same or better answers.

I also know from personal experience with ChatGPT, that you can use it to:

- convert CloudFormation to Terraform or the CDK

- write scripts that use the SDK

This is more burying the lede than clickbait. The situation is actually worse than initially reported. They are just using abortion as an example because many people would find that as the most objectionable "legitimate" use of this technology and policy. It also being used for other purposes doesn't invalidate that concern regarding abortion. It helps show why the concern in the case of abortion should apply to the overall practice. That is likely the EFF's plan here. The abortion framing of this issue is coming from the EFF and not the media.

Practical report: the OpenAI API is a bad joke. If you think you can build a production app against it, think again. I've been trying to use it for the past 6 weeks or so. If you use tiny prompts, you'll generally be fine (that's why you always get people commenting that it works for them), but just try to get closer to the limits, especially with GPT-4.

The API will make you wait up to 10 minutes, and then time out. What's worse, it will time out between their edge servers (cloudflare) and their internal servers, and the way OpenAI implemented their billing you will get a 4xx/5xx response code, but you will still get billed for the request and whatever the servers generated and you didn't get. That's borderline fraudulent.

Meanwhile, their status page will happily show all green, so don't believe that. It seems to be manually updated and does not reflect the truth.

Could it be that it works better in another region? Could it be just my region that is affected? Perhaps — but I won't know, because support is non-existent and hidden behind a moat. You need to jump through hoops and talk to bots, and then you eventually get a bot reply. That you can't respond to.

My support requests about being charged for data I didn't have a chance to get have been unanswered for more than 5 weeks now.

There is no way to contact OpenAI, no way to report problems, the API sometimes kind-of works, but mostly doesn't, and if you comment in the developer forums, you'll mostly get replies from apologists that explain that OpenAI is "growing quickly". I'd say you either provide a production paid API or you don't. At the moment, this looks very much like amateur hour, and charging for requests that were never fulfilled seems like a fraud to me.

So, consider carefully whether you want to build against all that.
Modern platforms are for most folks tools of compulsive consumption more than they are tools for meaningful communication. More users = more content = more consumption. More consumption means more chances to serve ads for a business built on that model.

Acquisitions are an easy way to juice top line growth. Acquisitions also offer ample opportunity to put lipstick on your finances. After all, any acquisition has many one-time costs and you can use this to juice your margins. You also forecast substantial cost savings by eliminating redundant positions. All in all, your gross margins and YoY growth look a lot healthier after the acquisition even when nothing has fundamentally improved about your business.

Repeated acquisitions really muddy the water and make it even harder for analysts to figure out how well your core business is doing. Especially when growth in your core business is stalling it makes a lot of sense to obfuscate your finances while you purchase top line growth.

All the while the stock price stays high and the executives get to enjoy their option packages. Eventually the music stops, but clever executives jump ship before that happens.

the wsj opinion section has gone wildly off the rails.

love their journalism. can't read half the crap they allow to be published in opeds.

at a minimum, is it too much to not publish outright provable lies?

it actually feels like a similar persecution complex vibe to these lawsuits and congressional hearings to me

that somehow if we aren't forced to listen to them, or that their megaphone isn't as loud as it once was, that they are being persecuted and censored with the most orwellian oppression in the history of our country! (i can think of a lot of truly terrible things our govt has done... literal internment camps and more! but that is besides the point)

no one has silenced them. we continue to hear it constantly.

and anything less is cancelation or "censorship."
Depending on what you consider important, and I haven't used Entity since... 2010 I think. For me, those two doesn't compare, the simplicity of the Django ORM makes Entity look dated, complex, like something out of the mainframe era.

That's a good question, the answer to your question is "no".

However you can apply the exact same logic to Apple. Is Apple's App Store preventing users from just using an Android phone? Or just launching their own competitor to the iPhone? The answer to that question is also "no".

However, there is a lot of discussion around whether Apple is behaving in an anti-competitive way. Same with Google in the online advertising market. Given the other ant-trust discussions taking place, I don't think it's ridiculous to ask whether Meta controlling _all_ the platforms on which most communications happen is good for society.

Show HN: A news feed exclusively populated by journalists
Hi HN --

Given all the talk with new the platforms launching recently, I want to share a project. It's called Forth (no relation to the programming language), and it's a news feed for news. Anyone can make an account and curate their own feed through follows, but it's populated exclusively by journalists.

Most Americans get at least some of their news from social media, even though they don't trust it. We want to take the good (formatting, brevity, ability to follow who you want), and mix it with real fact-based reporting.

Our reporting partners cover all sorts of topics, from local news around the US, to space, chemistry, politics, everything. We're still ramping up, but already have journalists ranging from names you might see on Good Morning America to local radio and newspapers, and all sorts of verticals.

It's not social media. It's almost anti-social. No spam, no misinformation, no hate speech. Just headlines.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

If you ever talk to a lawyer, they're not just robots that regurgitate the law, they can can give you good advice on mediation, and alternative means of resolving conflict. They'll aks you things like "are you sure you want to go through this, this is what this entails, etc." They don't just go "I only the know the law, I don't have a background in pschology, anthropology, sociology".

If you're a salesperson, you should know something about the product you're selling and have some communication skills. They don't just go "I am only here to show you to the car we're selling, I don't have a communications degree, I don't know how to offer you a deal".

Sometimes it feels like only in software are people so coddled that they think this stuff is normal. People will hire with leetcode as a strong signal and have stack ranking, and then somehow think that the streotypes of devs only being goot at logic puzzles and lacking human understanding are true.
Same, and then trying to sign up again gives "User already exists". Trying to sign in then gives "User is not confirmed". :D
While I'm sure you're right, this VFS implementation doesn't use any of that stuff. They just handwave concurrent writes away by saying the application has to ensure a single writer on its own. An S3 implementation appears to be planned; it's mentioned in the comments in the bcvmodule.c file.
JSX is the first major JS component ecosystem, which spawned builders like webpack and with them easy polyfills and linters.

Asking the same question to Chatgpt

To connect a Lambda function to an RDS (Relational Database Service) instance and query it safely, you can follow these general steps:

1. Configure your Lambda function's execution role: Ensure that your Lambda function has the necessary permissions to access the RDS instance. The role should include the `AWSLambdaVPCAccessExecutionRole` and the appropriate RDS permissions.

2. Place your Lambda function and RDS instance in the same VPC: Ensure that both the Lambda function and the RDS instance are in the same Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to enable their communication. You can configure the VPC settings in the AWS Management Console.

3. Configure the security group settings: Set up the security groups for your Lambda function and RDS instance to allow the necessary inbound and outbound connections. The Lambda function's security group should allow outbound access to the RDS instance's security group on the RDS port (usually port 3306 for MySQL or 5432 for PostgreSQL).

4. Create a subnet group: If your RDS instance is in a private subnet, create a subnet group that includes the appropriate subnets for your Lambda function to access the RDS instance securely.

5. Connect to the RDS instance from the Lambda function: In your Lambda function code, establish a database connection using the appropriate database client library, such as pymysql for MySQL or psycopg2 for PostgreSQL. Use the connection details (endpoint, username, password, etc.) of your RDS instance.

6. Execute queries safely: To query the RDS instance safely, ensure that your Lambda function's code incorporates secure coding practices. Use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks. Avoid storing sensitive information (such as database credentials) in your Lambda function code and instead use environment variables or AWS Secrets Manager for secure storage and retrieval.

Remember to regularly update and patch your Lambda function, RDS instance, and associated dependencies to maintain security and stay protected against potential vulnerabilities.

It's worth noting that the exact implementation details may vary depending on your specific use case, programming language, and AWS setup. Consulting the AWS documentation and resources related to Lambda, RDS, and VPC networking can provide more detailed and up-to-date instructions for your specific requirements.
