What's their billing model? Can you choose "if I stuff up, my things go offline" (NearlyFreeSpeech) or is the only option "if I stuff up, I get an enormous credit card bill" (AWS)?

For business use I don't care so much about this. But for personal stuff I just can't accept unlimited liability. I would even be willing to pay a bit more for the safety.

So... I suppose my question is: what's a good option for folks who are worried about bill shock?

Trying to make some separate point about parsed words (you really left the subject behind for some reason), in this case, is not a compelling argument against the assertion. I phrased it in a more amicable form (the way it was obviously intended to be communicated) and another random person, takes up with minutia. Good luck with that.
Yeah, the diagnosis is really weak. Superbly weak actually. "<X> is not easy to use" has zero insight and takes no stand. It's a flimsy, worn-out string to connect the dots; the upside is that any stakeholder can grasp it and no one can strangle you with it.

Also, the pattern of "diagnosis, guiding policy, coherent action" is copy-pasted from the book "Good Strategy, Bad Strategy"[1]. I've seen this internally at companies and even though the article is a great read, the application leaves much to be desired.

A good Google search term is "CECPQ2". Roughly: run a PQ KX to reach a shared secret, and run an independent X25519 to reach a second share secret, and then HKDF them both (conceptually: just cat them together and use them as a single secret).
Anybody figure out answers for the two exercises at the end? Nothing is jumping out at me.
If the purpose of this is not to data mine and train AIs to sell, prove it with ToS. If it is, be upfront perhaps. Of all places here people kind of get how it works.

Such a cute landing page and all this dance just to entice humans to provide more input to AI models to sell. It’s actually kind of disgusting when you think what the ultimate plan almost definitely is.
Well, a second is more specifically defined as:

"the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom taken as an average over 11 samples distributed throughout the earth in order to approximate the earth's inertial frame"

Seconds as used in Coordinated Universal Time are in fact defined based on planets, and earth specifically - because they use earth's inertial frame.

Whatever. I wouldn’t have as much karma as I have if I didn’t care about votes but I think some people are too thin skinned about it.

On other sites people get viciously dogpiled, do people somehow get to the point in life where getting downvoted on Hacker News is the first time that people failed to affirm them?

For the most part the things I write that get downvoted are on the bottom of what I post though there was the time I wrote something that got downvoted, really really bad like -10, got really angry and wrote a detailed and revealing explanation of why exactly I said that and the downvoted post got something like +500 votes at the end of the day.

A lot of that going around. My wife's records were never archived. When a soldier separates from service, if they file a disability claim (at that time) their records are forwarded to the soldier's home VA office, instead of St. Louis.

When my wife separated, someone forged her signature on a disability claim application. No one knows why. We have a copy of app and it clearly isn't her signature.

The challenge is her records never arrived at any VA office she might have been associated with. We contacted them all. A US House rep opened an inquiry but even after a few years, nothing was learned. After 10 years we gave up.

IANAL but the RAY BAUM’S act (yes, it's all caps because it's a silly initialism) only applies to location data that goes "with" a particular 911 call. Not your location before the call, nor your location after the call.

So if your cell-carrier is recording your location at all moments and persisting it indefinitely, or sharing anything beyond the data generated for that particular 911 call, no law is forcing them to do that, they are choosing to disrespect your privacy for their own profits or laziness.

It's good that the person is young and rather clear-headed.

Here's what the actual sceptic would immediately see and say "nah":

Goal: "hackathon during which we had to develop an innovative app or web app using NEAR's blockchain"

Result: "During the hackathon we made a decentralized exchange (DeX or "swap" in web3 jargon) named "Far Far Away Swap". This app's goal was to let our users exchange coins hosted on the NEAR blockchain using an automated market maker (AMM) algorithm"

Yup. Yet another currency speculation exchange. As a more jaded person, I would stop there. However, I see it as a good learning experience for the author, and I wish them the best of luck on their path.

This also made me chuckle: "I met many skeptics there. Often they were on the older side of the attendees (most of them were looking like 40 years old)".

It's the same pressure though. They want creators to push out more content to wider audiences, and they want non-creators to consume more content. As a random non-creator, you either fall into their trap, or they'll try to push you in through all kinds of psychological trickery, both subtle and blunt - and if that fails, the hope is you'll select yourself out of the user pool. If you can't be milked for profit, you can at least not waste their server resources.

This is the unfortunate consequence of an advertising-based business model. It offers you a shortcut to growth - a panel with a buttons labeled "More". More ads. More obnoxious ads. More sneaky ads. More manipulative ads. More people exposed, and exposed more often. There are many ways to grow that involve actually improving the product and user experience. But pressing one of the "More" buttons on the ad-panel is always easier, and gives you more money faster.
If we didn't invent photolithography, we'd still be using computers the size of buildings limited to universities and military installations.

Right now no one knows how to build a scalable quantum computer. But as soon as we find out the equivalent of lithography for building quantum chips, the progress will come, and it will come quickly and suddenly.
You still do need to make an account and give them a phone number/credit card to get into developer mode and enable adb. They'd be dumb to, but stopping people is entirely within their ability.

The link says the average for HS is $15.6k; if that's a mathematical mean, that's going to be driven up by a handful of very expensive schools.

> and there's a free option (public school)

Most public schools in the US are garbage.

> - you obviously have a healthy amount of disposable income.

Or make frugal choices elsewhere, or receive scholarships/ financial aid, likely both.

Yes, that's right, parents can drive an older car and skip buying a bigger TV and cook at home and save money in all kinds of ways, and private schools offer scholarships and financial aid to advance missions of service.
It was an extreme example to drive home the point that one is "human scale time" and one is "computer scale time", people are reading far far too much into my choice of hours specifically there.

> once you cross the fault tolerant threshold

If we cross the threshold. Until then, adding a qubit requires halving the noise floor, so the Moore's law equivalent to exponential scaling is basically adding a fixed number of qubits per year.
I think it's more like "what you can use in your toolbox for effectively exploiting some privilege escalation vulnerability".

SUID is very explicit a tool only to be used for a very few niche use cases with very carefully crafted binaries. Basically a learned sysadmin putting SUID on an arbitrary binary (like most in that list) is enough reason to fire them for gross negligence without any prior warnings even in countries with strong employee protection, it's _that_ big of a "wtf. did you non accidentally do". So you don't really need a list for that.

Similar as any small tooling binary (e.g. cat, base64, etc.) is _supposed_ to run under sudo, i.e. it's definitively not a case of "not written with that kind of security considerations in mind".

Also for sysadmins this list isn't that useful as there are any number of arbitrary additionally binaries which behave similar on most systems, i.e. the list is very incomplete (and there is no way around that).

Similar "being able to read/write a file with the permission the calling user has" is normally not something you care about, the caller is anyway allowed to do so.

Or being able to trick a program to work as a form of shell (limited to the users permission) also normally doesn't matter. The user just can spawn it explicitly.

Except if you build a toolbox you want to use after finding some (potentially limited) exploit (or if you want to consider what such an toolbox would likely use). Then is list is grate as it makes it easy to find a way to archive something (e.g. shell) with as little custom code (and potentially without it being obviously in monitoring tools).
Thats a good suggestion. Will try it and revert back if it works :)
I've been 3 weeks late for a Hetzner payment (also for medical reasons) more than once, and my servers are still running. They sent several emails, one was a reminder to pay and another was a warning about what date they would shut down service. So I guess their notice system isn't as straightforward as one week for everyone.

Perhaps it's because I pay for several bare metal servers, or because I have a business account with them. Perhaps it's because I pay their invoices by bank transfer manually instead of by credit card. Who knows! You have made me wary of changing to a credit card now, because those do fail from time to time!

What worries me more is Hetzner's reputation for suddenly dropping customers with no warning and no way to retrieve data from the servers. That's always on the back of my mind.
Why is it automatically a bad thing if they use the data to train llms? Who is losing under this situation?

Shortening the Let's Encrypt chain of trust
This is an excellent point. I already ask questions on Google and I've never felt like I needed to pay to get a good answer. And by making it app-only, I don't even know what it looks like or what the quality of the answers are. I can't even imagine what an answer I'm willing to pay for would look like.
I suspect you do not understand given the phrasing.

Think of Tunneling or layers or nesting dolls. The order doesn't particularly matter from a security perspective. Though today I'd wrap with the conventional algorithm on the OUTSIDE layer, since it takes less computational time to check / validate. The inner layer would then be one or more of the post-quantum algorithms; a particularly paranoid application might use more than one if something absolutely must remain a secret.
The headset itself does the reprojection, IIRC. Which is way more noticable than most measures of latency.

This is a non-issue on both android/ios because they support "approximate" location permission for apps.
For your Airdrop example, my iPhone has just as many silly UX idiosyncrasies as any Android phone. For example, recently I needed to translate the text in an image on my iPhone and there is no way to do it(from what I know) other than paying for a dedicated app and giving it Photo permissions. On my Pixel (and any Android phone) the same thing can be done by long pressing the image in my web browser -> Share -> Google Lens -> Done.

IMHO, phone OSes are mature enough nowadays that both options can achieve the same things and whether you prefer one UX over the other depends on what you "grew up with".

Hi! I picked the color scheme pretty haphazardly and have avoided tweaking it because I figure I'll fall into a rabbit hole. Do you just mean that the background seems super muted / desaturated as though it's being faded while you play the video?

I haven't used this, but it seems it has AI photo recognition stuff.

So you can search for "fish" for example and it will show photos of fish.

And apparently it has facial recognition, so you can find photos of a specific person by name.

These are killer features of Google photos for me, so it is exciting to see them in a self hosted, open source offering.

There is a demo linked on the GitHub page that I checked out:

https://demo.immich.app/
Hate to be that guy. But one final feature that Google photos has:

Auto share photos of a certain face to an album that is shared with a group. Group is notified when new photos are added.

This is CLUTCH for new parents.

That being said, this is incredible and I’m definitely moving over the first chance I get.

Amazing work!

Very curious what the limits on performance would be for it. Could it ultimately offer a way to run Vision OS apps in a realistic way without having the hardware? Quest 3 could make a super compelling package for it (admittedly, not having the eye tracking is a big problem).

I guess we can't really know yet how Apple will handle it, but does seem unlikely that Apple will allow the simulator to install arbitrary apps from the app store.
Last time I took around 1 hour to do a review of literature, I discovered that the size of those computers were growing at a linear rate of around 4 qbits/year.

It got slightly faster on the last few years, I don't know if inherently so or just due to random fluctuation. Yet people keep repeating that claim that the growth is exponential, based on no evidence at all.
