Tell HN: So, I Tried Bard
I tried Bard.

It worked. I tried it because ChatGPT could not have a sensible conversation with me about some code and we were talking in circles.

Bard solved it immediately. This is the result of my single try of Bard so not very scientific, but an encouraging start.
This is correct. I have three friends that went to HBS and got very high paying careers. Being friends with the CEO's son was not why they got the jobs.

They administrators at these schools really tipped their hands when the Full House admission bribery scandal broke.

They were not upset that someone paid to get into a school. They were upset that someone didn't pay them to get into a school.
They’re not looking for a problem. The problem exists.

“Just use contactless” doesn’t work in the US.

Just yesterday a friend was commenting that he got a new credit card (old card expired) and the new one still doesn’t have contactless. Seems his bank decided it wasn’t worth it.

But that’s not all. Target gift cards don’t have contactless. Don’t think Visa/MC/AmEx gift cards do either. I bet EBT cards don’t, I think a rule requiring them to have chips was just passed.

I know other countries are ahead of us, and that major banks have been issuing chip cards for a while. But there are still a lot of people that leaves out.

And target wants to sell to them.
Anyone who was rejected because they didn’t have the right parents because the spot went to someone else because they did have the right parents.

> How many times have I heard from people that the USA is about "equality of opportunity" and not "equality of outcome"? Legacy admissions is directly contrary to equality of opportunity, and undermines the idea of meritocracy in university admissions...

Understanding "equality of opportunity" to be literal and absolute is nonsense, because to do so would require hobbling people with natural talent (for instance), since not all people have the opportunities created by those talents (there's a famous sci-fi short story about that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron).

IIRC, rejecting "equality of outcome" in favor of "equality of opportunity", means rejecting explicit policies to pick winners and losers.
Which is why Harvard had AA. Turns out government funded institutions are banned from discriminating based on race though. But discriminating based on wealth, parental social status, or athletic ability is still cool.
Obviously so, but that doesn't affect the fact that it grates on me.

This particular thing appears to be largely generational and rather regional so I don't encounter it frequently.
Might not be crazy to prefer someone with that ruling-class cred/connections (even if not, themselves, of that background) in certain very-lucrative sales positions. Or investing. Or law (especially the varieties that tend to pay very well). Or lobbying. Or just about any halfway-important position in a non-profit. Or the C-suite of a corporation, and more-so the bigger it is.

And so on.

Lots of cases where "oh, I sailed with her nephew one Summer when we were both at Harvard" or just being able to credibly wear any of several "in-group" school colors ties and talk the talk is worth more than 10 extra IQ points or whatever.
You'll want an RFID blocking wallet or sleeve to supplement this plan. Thieves will use an RFID skimmer and just wave it near your pocket to grab the info off the card when it responds.
It was always a farce to begin with. Inventing scarcity where there is none because there was zero willingness to organize production around anything other than markets. It was a bad but understandably necessary move back when the printing press was invented. Centuries later, with practically instant and practically infinite reproduction of most types of information, it's pure insanity.
In this scenario where you have a track star with a 4.0 and a “boring” student who happened to luck out and get a perfect SAT score, did these students take the same classes? Because maybe the reason the track star didn’t do as well is because they don’t know as much as the athlete.

Sure, I get it. I'm keeping my delta around for taller prints, too. But they are edge cases for my daily work.
I'm somewhere in that morass. I love socializing with people I know and enjoy. I hate social interaction with strangers and/or people I don't know well, don't like, etc. I'm also completely happy being by myself for long stretches of time. What's draining vs energizing for me is equally a mess.

Don't know what that makes me but I don't worry about the labels
You can see it in another way: science is directly improving your life. Your tax money is not a "gift" that you make, or even a "salary" that you pay, it's you buying the right to profit from it.

Why should the result of the scientists work be given to you for free, when you have contributed nothing as important in exchange? I don't understand why some people think tax money is some kind of favor that they are doing: are they so full of themselves to think they can profit from modern life for free like a parasite?

The choice is there and was always there: you don't like paying taxes, you can always go live on your own somewhere in the wild. But as soon as you profit from the modern life that is 100% built upon the work of the scientists, you have to pay them to live here.
I don't understand why the press keeps calling those things "video games".

This is a good thing, some troll could patent it and then deny anyone else the right to use it.
> But there was a huge positive as well. Without worrying about breaking the original use case, we could hack on the new tool all we wanted without regard for stability or reverse compatibility. We got a thorough understanding of how to serve the new use case and why the original tool was designed the way it was

Maybe good for your understanding, but this is pure waste.
yeah, sometimes. there is always something nagging "you should be doing X", where X is cleaning the gutters, or rebalancing the checkbook, etc. but sometimes you get excited enough that it drowns out the nag.

I guess it refers to them playing very fast and elaborate solos (right hand) with minimal accompaniment (left hand + bass player + drums). Minimalistic comping will also mostly leave the low notes (left hand) to the bass player and comp in a fairly high range, with more notes allocated to the right hand than left.
It was for Python 2, and the book was published many years ago, but Beazley's Python Library Reference book (if I remember the name correctly) was one of the best software reference books that I bought and read.

Millions is way too low; we do extremely heavy FTS on Postgres in the millions magnitude and it is extremely effective. We also use a relatively tiny hosted box with tons of room for vertical scaling when we need to.

So I'm not sure at what point Postgres will start to be limited on this front but it's definitely a different order of magnitude, unless it's a wildly different workload than my team has.
Last I heard they required a phone number which isn't free. I even created a couple accounts a long time ago, but they were both banned after a week or so. I suspect because they thought they were bot accounts. I used free email services like yahoo to sign up, I only ever used the website and not the app, and I never posted or interacted with anything, I just followed a small number of accounts.

Totally disagree with this.

Change detection is nothing but a hack to get around the fact that interacting directly with the browser DOM is very slow and blinky.

Imagine a world where interacting directly with the browser DOM didn't suck, then none of these libraries would exist.

The crux of the problem is that the browser immediately reflects changes to the DOM to the screen.
And when you make a bunch of changes to the DOM you immediately see a bunch of changes happen, with portions of the screen being blanked out, and layout changes happening, and a whole bunch of other nasty stuff happening immediately, which all sucks.
And updating a physical screen is slow too, double sucky.
Change detection is a technique for minimizing updates to the DOM to avoid the suckiness.

I implemented word processors, and I've used a technique called 'double buffering' to rerender complete pages off-screen, fast. And then update the screen smoothly.
If we used a proper word processor engine to display our UIs instead of a browser engine then we'd have no need for React etc...
After decades, Chrome finally has a rational equivalent to this technique called the View Transitions API.

My hope is that the days of doing change detection are numbered and we can finally leave all this change detection crap behind us.
Basically, since the advent of bebop, the overwhelming majority of pianists use sparse comping. This means that they don't really provide bass, they just provide shell/rootless chords for themselves to play, the main focus is soloing in the right hand, or when others solo, just providing chords in pulses. The actual bass is provided by a double bass player, who plays a bassline.

Before that, the prevalent comping style in the left hand was stride, which provides a rich bass backing. (You know, the oom-pah stuff) Contrary to the common criticism, if coordinated well, this can also work in the presence of a double bass player (just check out Fats Waller recordings, many of his Rhythm recordings had a double bass player!)
Plus lots of cards without EMV at all, usually gift cards or until recently EBT.

This little micro-arms-race to develop and patent a plastic wedge that doesn't need to exist in the first place is ridiculous. The irony is that there is something of a perverse incentive not to solve the actual problem now that such a big industry has emerged to to combat it. If they wanted to build secure card payment terminals they would build them.
They mostly suck because non-english speakers don't contribute to the "magic" like stems and stop-words. It isn't the databases fault it doesn't have good default data.
Societies cope with bad tactics by making rules against them, and enforcing those rules.
>No, you might as well copy the keys over there

Only if the keys are insecure enough to be copied, ie not backed by an HSM, or backed by an HSM but marked exportable.

>for all the security you're getting (actually, that's safer given this RCE which compromises both sides, even given that there's no real way to shred the leaked key, but of course I'm not actually suggesting this! they're both really bad.)

Connecting to a malicious SSH server is already dangeorous with or without this vulnerability, and with or without agent forwarding. Eg a malicious server can modify the shell to emit VT codes to mess up your terminal.

>Your best option is too easy: just generate a new keypair on foo.

Sure, but this creates additional identities that baz.example.org must be taught to trust, which is not always desirable or even an option.
I agree with you, though I wouldn't draw the line before list comprehensions, those are very basic.

Probably the least belligerent superpower in history, internally and externally.

I am not so differently inclined. What I mean to say is that as long as we exist this will always have been a part of our history and as a result addressed in Amendments to our foundational documents. Those Amendments are an indelible form of special dispensation.

You can't say that about anything related to organizations playing favorites with the kids of former members. It's by comparison comically irrelevant.

Why should a child be doomed for life to a gambling addiction because they had the bad luck of being born to shitty parents?
It seems like your model here is that we eliminate alumni preferences at Harvard, rich kids stop getting in but that has no impact on their future elite status. The smart kids miss out on connecting with them and end up the only real losers in the change.

I think you should consider another possibility—-that things like getting into Harvard is how rich kids end up being elite. Take those things away from them and many will still be wealthy but they won’t be elite. They’ll be the guy working a mid level job (or none at all) that just happens to have a really sweet house and vacations in Aspen.

Printrbot ran out of money. Couldn’t compete with cheap Chinese printers.

The one thing about this whole conversation that is frustrating to me is how people blame these companies for not being cheaper than China, essentially. “Why aren’t you better than Bambu?? Why is business taking so long??” Like, this business is freaking hard. Hardware tech is nearly impossible to succeed in as a small company with low cost, consumer machines! Now competing with China, who got to free ride on accomplishments from OSHW companies and community, is just something they’re not doing for fun or whatever??

These folks are in a nearly impossible situation. China has nearly every advantage. It’s a miracle that any of them have stayed in business at all!

So while I do think it sucks they’ve pulled back on open source, it’s completely understandable. These companies are barely surviving as it is. It drives me nuts how people take this all for granted.

Some have already mentioned Polylith, but what might not be known is that it is available for Python too (I’m the maintainer of the Python tooling).

What is mentioned in the article reminds of the Polylith Architecture, even if Polylith probably has a more simplistic view on code: a flat structure, made of something called “bricks” - that are small namespace packages. These ones are combined into features, the features are combined into apps or services.

You can choose how to deploy your artifacts - as a single Monolith, or several microservices. Since the code is not coupled to the built artifact, it isn’t a big thing to change it from one type to another.

Docs here if you want to know more:

Success. It got everyone to stop using slack as a knowledge base.

It's like when sysadmins get confused when people use the recycle bin as storage and the user gets angry when the bin gets cleared.
I thought that was probably the case. You're more familiar with the updates than anyone, so be sure to include that in the post - helps everyone!

I wonder if there should be criminal liability for this... literally billions of dollars of misdirected research effort for what may be a fraud.

Are amyloid plaques not an issue at all then, or coincidentally still an issue (but not justified by the research this person did)? Would be funny if this is a real world Gettier case.
> Those systems' interaction with Steam Wallet is even dangerously close to feeling like "cash back" sometimes

Uh... it's actually very, very common to cash back from Steam. There is a subreddit for CSGO's real money trading[1]. It has 230k subscribers. And it's just a single game, not the whole steam.

Has anyone ever shown a practical attack for EMV contactless?

I know the old mag stripe emulation was vulnerable, but EMV contactless shouldn’t hand out the card number and uses cryptographic signatures. You’d have to capture and play back a transaction (not randomly scan a card) and there are time stamps and transaction counters that would be wrong and the terminal ID wouldn’t match.
Do you find it strange to think we wouldn't consider it weird to have a parent who was a soldier or a boxer or a cop who had demolished someone's face on camera or killed another human during a non-defensive war or put someone in a cage for selling a plant, but the idea that a parent would give another human one of life's greatest pleasures for money is disturbing?
My father discovered this on a trip to Chicago long ago, and brought a few home to Massachusetts. They were great for playing in our yard, where the fence was too close for a real softball, but these are much harder to hit >100ft so they let us use the whole yard.

A fleet of three ThinkCentre PCs, m920x2 and m720x1, they use 8th Gen Intel CPUs. These three run Windows 11, Arch Linux, and macOS. Homelab is running mostly on the Arch Linux one with Docker supplemented by the Windows 11 one running some longer time job because Windows only upgrades every few months.

I also have a FriendlyELEC, an arm box that is running OpenWRT as a router and also serves Ubiquiti's controller.

There is two part of software/hardware I should be retiring/moving; both are Homebridge, one on Raspberry Pi Zero W and one on another Windows PC Hyper-V Ubuntu, but I just don't have time to move them yet. The Raspberry Pi Zero is especially annoying because it is so underpowered that it feels painful to wait for anything to upgrade.
As someone who manipulates structure, the refactoring tools and the like, as well as the formatting IntelliJ does for you, make my programming less portable between editors. Text-driven development is very portable, but I actively dislike using VSCode in comparison to IntelliJ because it refactors and formats code in different ways.

> isn’t something you can suppress for the rest of your life. It will eventually seep out and begin to distort your view of reality. And no amount of money can fix that.

Anyone working a job that deals with a lot of drunk people, or criminals, or mentally unwell will experience a fair amount of nasty behavior. It sucks, but people do the work because it's their best option and others rarely judge them for it. Except sex workers, they get judged by practically everyone.
In fact this happens with any form of social or psychological science. If you start with, anything is a spectrum, gray zone, nuance... you are not able to make different categories. Even with music, pop, rock, metal, hiphop, balade,... if you ask any musician they will tell their music dies not fit any category. My point is, making categories is just a starting point for certain sorts of science and literature.
