The cherry on top: visiting the https://cryptography.io/en/latest/ landing page, a Python outsider wouldn't be able to tell that this is for Python.

A full text search for "python" reveals only a single match hidden at the bottom within the FAQs section; ironically within the context "Why are there no wheels for my Python3.x version?".

Most of the other FAQs add to it:

- I cannot suppress the deprecation warning that cryptography emits on import

- cryptography failed to install!

- Why does cryptography require Rust?

- Installing cryptography produces a fatal error: 'openssl/opensslv.h' file not found error

- cryptography raised an InternalError and I’m not sure what to do?

- Installing cryptography with OpenSSL 0.9.8, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.1.0 fails

- Installing cryptography fails with error: Can not find Rust compiler

- I’m getting errors installing or importing cryptography on AWS Lambda

- Why can’t I import my PEM file?
What happened to the backend argument?

- Will you upload wheels for my non-x86 non-ARM64 CPU architecture?

Python is by far the most platform-dependent, brittle programming environment, and the prime example that the "interpreted languages run everywhere!" trope is increasingly dead.

Build nonce, fail everywhere.
Years ago, and in fact as I was coming off of a security-related job, I had the notion that we should map out decisions as a first class citizen of the development cycle, instead of or in addition to requirements (requirements are just one sort of decision). The problem with unexpected behavior is often a matter of Chesterton's Fence. We know something was done on purpose, we can't remember why, and so we break the constraint with crossed fingers and an uneasy feeling. If we tracked why we did things, which ideas supported which other ideas, which ideas complicated other ideas, maybe we would spot these sorts of things, and also the contradictions we try to put into the code.

What ended up souring me on the whole idea was realizing this would be a wonderful Blame Allocation System, by attaching names to decisions. It's been a while since I went from full enthusiasm to creeping dread so fast on a product idea, and probably not since.

Who is the "you" in this sentence? Are you speaking as the King? Of course the King doesn't have to justify his expenditures to the peasants.

They seem to spend all of their money adding fake slow progress bars that advertise their premium version to you.
This assumes a flexible envelope. Most airships are rigid. Volume doesn't change. Indeed, being rigid is what makes them airships and not blimps.
This brings something up which I don't understand about US tax code. Why can't I be taxed on income which I've already earned instead of having to estimate to within ~5% (IIRC) what I should earn? I'm sure there are reasons for this, but this seems broken.
Yes but this is an article about said production deployment. Which should be more interesting.
Or simply ask for their bank account info and passwords. Surely there's nothing to hide with that!
I wonder how much of this change is driven by Russia’s failings to achieve objectives in their ongoing Ukrainian war.

When another actor is perceived as a peer military, you have strong incentive to have closer relationships with them so you can influence their behavior. If China’s ability to win wars against neighbors is perceived as having gone down due to Russia’s struggling, much of the need for economic influence would seemingly go down in kind, allowing priorities to shift.
What a shallow take…can’t believe I watched the whole thing
That's definitely server side JS, but I thought the person I was replying to meant a web server that was written in JS, but I suppose "powered" could mean that it just runs JS.

I saw that link elsewhere in this thread after my reply, and I also thought that this might have been what was being referred to.

Just FYI, I don't think the other user was trolling. HN has a certain number of commenters coming from (let's say) distressed points of view. One can sometimes guess at this from the comment history. I don't mean to single anyone out, just to say that it's a regular if not a common pattern. It's not always easy to find a compassionate way to handle it but I think it's important to try.

Umm, are you sure about that? Source?
I don't see the value add here.

Here's the core of the message sent to the LLM: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeChat/blob/main/src/typechat...

You are basically getting a fixed prompt to return structured data with a small amount of automation and vendor lockin. All these LLM libraries are just crappy APIs to the underlying API. It is trivial to write a script that does the same and will be much more flexible as models and user needs evolve.

As an example, think about how you could change the prompt or use python classes instead. How much work would this be using a library like this versus something that lifts the API calls and text templating to the user like: https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof/blob/_dev/flow/chat/llm...
First, you'd have to ban cash.

Second, you'd have to give up substantial amounts of privacy (both related and unrelated to the banning of cash).

As an example, to make taxes automatic, you would have to annotate each electronic transaction with its taxable treatment.

If I buy a ticket on Delta to go on vacation, that has one tax treatment (no effect). If I buy that same ticket on Delta to go on a business trip, that has a different tax treatment. (Further, I would wager that telling airlines which scenario it is would not be helpful in terms of ticket pricing/terms.)

If I buy a sandwich on vacation vs that same sandwich on a business trip, different tax treatments...(and the business trip airline ticket even has a different tax treatment than the business trip sandwich).
I see a handful on LinkedIn from state schools working at top quant firms.
I gave it a bit of thought, and remembered that there are people in the other side of the world (America) who are deep down in modernism (esp. feminism in this instance) who can really believe in that (abuse cancels all other good qualities). You're right, my mistake to assume people are as mentally healthy as they're in my country.
It could completely suck and still be incredibly useful if they would just tell me what 1099's (or other) they have on me. They're going to eventually if I don't file it appropriately.

For instance, I just received some mail that I owe tax based on my Uber and Lyft earnings. One problem, I never worked for either. So now I'm expected a big slog through paperwork to remedy this problem that happened a couple years ago. Oh, and it may continue on to the next two years. I have no way of knowing what they think they know about me.
This is most likely an out of memory problem without seeing the logs.

We have a fix in the works that will be released soon.

May I ask what mac & memory you're running this on?
This whole « FBI losing trust from people » looks to me basically because for the first time they are actually doing their job in going after trump’s flagrant law breaking and the Jan 6 attempt to overthrow the election, and conservatives are not liking it.
Many of the lower income folks I know are too nervous/not comfortable with their own ability to file their own taxes and use tax preparer services. Some also do this in the hopes of getting their return quicker, so they not only pay to file but then get hit with the equivalent of a payday loan on their return.
Savings and debt in an economy are related, but not 1:1. See the money multiplier [1].

It is possible that their involvement in PRISM is involuntary. However, as a member of the "screeching voices of the minority" [0], I will not extend them the benefit of the doubt.

- Polyfills (there _is_ polyfill-enabling code - maintained by Chrome devs.)

- Microsoft enabling the flag in Edge by default and telling people that websites can be 30% smaller/faster in Edge, automatically adding JXL conversion in their web frameworks

- Apple doing the same with Safari (what they're _now_ doing)

- Mozilla doing the same with Firefox (instead of hiding that feature in a developer-only build behind a flag)

None of that happened so far, only the mixed signal of "lead and we'll follow" and "you are too powerful, stop dominating us." in some issue tracker _after_ the code has been removed.
Association between UVR, skin sun sensitivity and pancreatic cancer (2013)
You are purposefully being an asshole and then double and tripling down on it, that’s the spirit of the comment.
Another alternate is to eliminate the federal personal income tax. W-2 employees would get immediate increase to their take home pay and employers would get out of tax withholding chores. Feds can just increase the already large deficit spending to cover the tax reduction or reduce spending.
> cause reduced investment in new supply

...which would cause the supply to be reduce, a slide down the demand curve, prices increase, and suddenly the margins aren't so thin, and everything bounces back. The market heals.
> landing on the moon was actually awesome,

Consider that people who opposed going to the moon still may not think that it was "awesome."

It's patriotic bullshit that political scoundrels turn to, but is at least not as horrific as war. Although if the money spent on the moon landing had been spent on starving children, many of them wouldn't have starved, so maybe it's a sort of an inverse war to burn cash like that?

Nationalists are childish. Trump declares a Space Force, and turns half the people who thought he was the antichrist into his defenders.
No, it really is. Open source is equivalent to free software in everything but definition, and does not include anything that is not free software. There are minor disagreements between different people from the two camps which licenses to accept (e.g. Debian where this definition originated from, does not consider GFDL with invariant sections free, while FSF apparently does).

It really is the whole point of it, define more clearly what criteria must be fulfilled for software to be considered free software.
I find that google is "useless" in the sense that it is no longer the best search engine. There are many solid search engines as options now so why pick google in particular? I think for most people its just a habit.

I don't need Google in particular to use the internet anymore so why should I?
I didn't say you're wrong, just added it as an aside/addendum :)
That's a reasonable response. I was being hyperbolic I suppose. What I meant was: if they are working on FedNow and a digital dollar at the same time, a more efficient use of resources would be to plan for FedNow to be interopable with the digital dollar, so that they don't have to replace it with something that is in a few years.

Perhaps they are planning for that already. My main complaint is the lack of both transparency and clarity in the quoted statement. I don't believe their response will satisfy anybody who is wondering if the Fed is working on a digital dollar, when it would have been very easy for them to do that. I sort of expect that kind of needle-threading response from private companies and individuals, but (naively) expect more transparency from public institutions.
> Where to draw the line? It's definitely murky.

It shouldn't be murky at all. For all of the history of humanity, privacy has been the default state. I could talk to people face to face (what used to be the only way) and it was by default private. I could keep written notes and records and they were by default private.

There were special-case mechanisms to violate that privacy (e.g. search warrants, targeted spying) but by their nature they target specific people and, at least most of the time, go through a process with some checks and balances. I don't have any objection to this type of spying. If someone is suspected of a serious crime, it's reasonable for society to have a way to approve planting some surveillance bugs on them and them only.

It's only now that nearly all communication is over third party systems that government suddenly feel it's ok to spy on everyone and all the time. It's clearly not ok, nothing murky about that.
You might have to get out the crayons and explain the difference. They seem one in the same to me.
I would expect that, if it doesn’t do that even, why bother… that is also trivial to do anyway.
Connections: The Trigger Effect (1978) [video]
Let the system go long enough and everything becomes accidentally load bearing. See also "implementation becomes the specification" - people will come to rely on every single undocumented implementation detail regardless of what the official spec says.

That's why it is a good practice to have DiRT or similar exercises. Break things on purpose so that people don't rely on them when they shouldn't.
10K lines is not _that_ large. If it was written sensibly, it might be very useful. Bill might have written a text document, but chose to use Shell as a preferred engineers' language. Who doesn't share a one-liner with a colleague in need? Bill shared a 10k-liner :-). And Shell being a relatively high-level language, it probably packs the information more densely than a text file.
Agree, as an American now living/working overseas, it is mind blowing how easy it has been to deal with taxes in my foreign country - I don't have to do anything. Taxes are withheld out of my paycheck, and this foreign government sends me a letter at the end of the year telling me how much I paid. I don't have to submit anything. So much easier.
Except I have to still have to spend $ to Turbotax efile an American IRS return to tell the IRS I owe no taxes. How dumb is that.
Look at what happened with the Canadian protests and banking restrictions.

Many are concerned that cdbc will allow the gov to create carbon rations that are enforced by disallowing purchases. Cash is fungible while regulated digital currency isn't.
Hah, I did one of these just last week. There's some sort of silicon bug or incorrect documentation that causes this lithium battery charger to read the charge current at half of what it should be. This could cause the battery to literally explode, so I left a big comment with lots of warnings explaining why I'm sending "incorrect" config values to the charge controller.

It's absolutely imperative that the next guy knows what the fuck I'm doing by tampering with safety limits.
And be especially careful if your distribution is bounded and you are somewhat near the bound.... (Gammas come in handy)
The vast, vast majority of gender affirming care for children is social transition, then maybe puberty blockers, then maybe hormones. SRS is exceedingly rare for under-18s and the massive focus you are putting on it suggests to me that your sources are extremely biased or outright disingenuous. Again look to WPATH, where absolutely no medical intervention whatsoeveris suggested for prepubescent children (S69).

Practically all of your questions have answers either in WPATH SoC or have been heavily discussed in the transgender community or in the medical community. It would be worth your time to see those perspectives.
If you will go past first chapter, you will find wealth of knowledge, that is not programming language/api/backend/frontend specific. SICP is a book that is a bit hard to start.

This is a thing that I miss about C++ programming language, third edition by Stroustrup. The "Design using C++" section of about 100 pages in the end made me, at a time, better programmer. I do not read it now, though, to keep my good memories about it =)
But do 40% of households not file tax returns, because that is what we are talking about here, and I'm pretty sure a large portion of that 40% do file because they get refunds/rebates, and I'm pretty sure a large portion of that portion use a service because they can get their refund/rebate quicker (though as a loan at payday loan advance rates).
I have no clue, but I wonder how unique this attitude turns out to be among MEs/EEs versus, say, everyone dealing with electronics. Because the stories and complaints about mechanical and electrical engineers treating code (and programmers) as second-class, remind me very much of how front-end people complain about how they’re perceived by back-end people. And about how backend people complain about how they’re perceived by systems programming people. And so on up/down the line(s) of abstraction.
A truth since time immemorial: built-in search for forums sucks, terribly.
We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36795360 and marked it off topic.

I'm sorry you've gone through such distressing experiences and definitely don't want to add to the distress, but I also don't want replies from HN commenters to add to it unintentionally.
I was thinking about this yesterday. ChatGPT really is good enough to act as a proper virtual assistant / home manager, with enough toggles exposed.
I’ll reach out shortly. My thoughts on this are you don’t remain free, but instead charge based on a cost recovery model. You figure out annual people/tech/admin expenses, forecast and observe request volume over time, and then adjust per signing request pricing accordingly (or perhaps sell buckets of requests to high volume consumers, contracts ensure smooth cashflow). This enables longevity and stability of the service (which gives warm fuzzies to consumers of it), no concern of an acquisition or buyout, while enabling servers to spin and people to eat.

TLDR think electric cooperative or similar. You’re building an internet utility/primitive for long term consumption.
Those voting won't recall the politicians because the people are distracted by the latest divisive outrage.

It might be more of a commercial building thing than a domestic construction one. I know I've seen it in a number of videos of renovations of larger buildings, including barns. I might have the time range off. Big cities are full of 1920's constructions especially on the West Coast, and they don't do that.

My old house (~1920) had diagonal shiplap under the floors instead of plywood (but parallel in the oldest walls). That's probably more for making hardwood floors easier to install than structural integrity.

Edit: The internet says 'start of the 20th century' phased out in 1950's (plywood), and 'sometimes diagonally'.
Google doesn't run TechCrunch ....

The best you can do is say Google says "this issue was reported by sisu from CTF team HXP and discovered by a member of Apple Security Engineering and Architecture (SEAR) during HXP CTF 2022, which will be acknowledged in the security fix notes for the appropriate Stable channel release at the time they are updated" [1] which really is a nothingburger.

Show HN: Static JavaScript playground with live feedback
I spend more time than I thought I would be (in this age of JS frameworks) still using raw HTML, CSS, JS playgrounds for quick prototyping and iteration.
However, the current solutions out there always fell short of what I've wanted:

- Minimal
- More modern UI/UX
- Instant feedback loop. No page reload, or server request on changes.
- Better JS -> Console diagnostics.
- Ability to resize the playground to my needs.

It's a complete static website, free to use. Happy to any feedback.
You will get similar focus on two parent households from Orthodox Jews, Muslims, LDS, JW and several other religious groups other than conservative Christians. However, your point is still the same. With today's stance of "separation of church and state" the US government will not promote this ideology of a two parent household being desired.

Our 41st president had a Faith-Based Initiative which was successful in many areas. It cost the tax-payer 75% less to have a faith-based organization head up a relief program than it did for a similar governmental program. Why? Because it was a volunteer based organization and they were incentivized to keep costs low.
I think that people tend to mix emotion and reason too readily. To an extent we are governed by our emotions, but we shouldn't let them consume us. Negativity bias is definitely detrimental but so is positivity bias. That's different from being compassionate. Compassion is a principle, a moral axiom that many people hold, but positivity bias is saying we should feel blindly feel good. We should have a tempered view of our principles and personalities.

Your explanation of humor seems woefully inadequate. What is the corresponding solution to a negative solution in making a dad joke?
It's not super clear how this differs from another recently released library from Microsoft: Guidance (https://github.com/microsoft/guidance).

It streams the weights. This is going to be what limits performance, not alu utilization.
I find it really hard to believe that even a mere “technologist” wouldn’t understand how their bread gets buttered, but maybe they’re even less engaged than I’ve heard & seen.

I think we’re starting to talk past each other, but for the sake of pointing out where we seemingly agree: GS employees are more-or-less self-interested, and they do depend on gaming (or mitigating risk, I suppose) regulations to stay employed. Neither of those make great bullet points on a green tech pivot resume, which was more or less my original point?

I brought up their charitable org specifically because I recall an acquaintance who works there saying it was more employee-driven than the average corporate tax amelioration scheme. Maybe he was wrong? He’s only been there for five years or so.

It depends. I have to use checks to pay my landscaper and housekeeper, because there isn't another unilateral payment document.

By this I mean, in the US everyone could use CashApp, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle (glorified ACH, right?), etc. for p2p payment. If you have the same bank, many banks have a trivial "send money to another customer's account" feature. However, to do so requires essentially a 'handshake' where the two parties agree on a method. Checks require no up-front handshake, since everyone knows what to do with a check (deposit it at your ATM, take a picture of it with mobile app, or take it to a check-cashing place or the issuing bank).

If I could print on paper a key or QR code that allows you to claim the money into the account of your choice, like a check does, I'd use that. Sadly, banks seem to have put their effort into Zelle instead.
