> Is ChatGPT or the like going to become self-aware, compromise other computer systems, etc? No more than your shoe is going to take over your foot.

Agreed. It's strange though, to be honest I don't see much if any worry about self awareness, i think anyone who knows anything understands that's not the issue. The "issue" if you can call it that is how it will impact society from a labor and content perspective. How much synthetic content will be perceived as true and assumed to be correct simply because we haven't had time to adapt to the fact that the rate of synthetic content is exponential now.

The code is pretty straightforward and not that large. I feel like the only possibility of such an exploit would probably be through Docker itself - or some sort of cross site scripting.
With UberEATS, hidden fees and markup have gotten so big that most orders are > 2x the cost at the actual restaurant

Even without the hidden fees, it can be crazy expensive. But there doesn't seem to be a shortage of people who don't care about the fees.

I ran into an Uber Eats guy in the elevator a couple of weeks ago. He was delivering a single cup of McDonald's coffee. I can't imagine what that might have cost.

Ona side note, I've also recently seen Uber Eats being delivered on Segways in my neighborhood. They have Uber Eats-branded panniers and the delivery guys have Uber Eats-branded insulated backpacks.
It's a conductor of electricity. But super good at it.

i.e. - It has zero resistance to electricity.

Currently, the best superconducting materials we can create have to be chilled to near absolute zero, which means designing them to work in liquid helium baths. This is expensive, and difficult. If a material can superconduct at room temperature, now we're talking usage in general purpose consumer goods.

As for why we want a superconductor? Real cool stuff happens when there's zero resistance to electrical current. I'm sure other people can add on to this, but for an immediate benefit - electricity transmission wouldn't have any losses. Imagine offshore wind turbines that could transmit power to Kansas from the Atlantic. It'd be a big deal.
“Younger” replacements? I am 46 and I’m the opposite of cubical minded. At lot of us old guys remember when remote was a thing long before Covid. The only time I worked in an office was 3 of my 5 years at Apple. And it wasn’t by choice.

Plenty of “younger” workers often equate “work life” with “life” and love the ping-pong and beer culture of “tech” offices. I despise it. A lot of younger workers coming out of college see the office as a place to get their lattes and socialize.

So while I agree with the “cubicle-minded” aspect, the “younger” aspect isn’t quit accurate or fair. Many of us that have a life outside of work hate that cubicle-minded attitude regardless of our age. It’s often the older and more experienced people that have less tolerance for office culture, especially those of us that were doing remote long before it was a widespread “thing.” Unless I have to work with physical stuff, there is zero need to be in an office.

Honestly, I don’t even really have much of a social life outside of work, aside from talking to the other parents at my kids rec activities.

For me, WFH has made giving my kids a great childhood just substantially easier. We’re not constantly in a rush to get the mandatory stuff for the day out of the way, so we can spend more time with rec activities or just having fun.

We’re also not beholden to terrible schedules. As an example, the range of swimming lessons times we can handle basically opened up drastically. The range of afterschool activities we can manage as equally opened up. Where previously it was soccer, now we’ve been able to try a bunch of things and let them land on what they like.

> I would never work somewhere that required me to be in office a few times a month.

It’s great that we have that option of companies that are full remote.

However, your last paragraph seems to not appreciate the fact that there are folks like myself that prefer going to an office often.

My prediction is that we might get rid of the office and replace it with the office in another form — most likely better.

No, at least the ideal is there's a functional reputation system for drivers and riders. Of course, if corporate is going to scam you, too, and if they're going to make less than 5 stars a death penalty for a driver, and if the app and payments are always buggy, then /shrug it all stinks.
IANAP, but a layman's understanding: the materials that we have available today to conduct electricity at or around room temperatures largely do so in an inefficient manner. As electricity moves through the material, some energy is wasted in the form of ejected heat.

To circumvent this, physicists discovered superconductivity: a state in which a material is a perfectly efficient conductor of electricity. Thus far, to create a superconductive material requires keeping that material at extreme conditions of temperature and pressure.

A room-temperature superconductor is a game-changer because we could get nearly-perfect energy efficient electric conduction without the additional energy overhead it takes to keep the material at such a dense pressure or extreme temperature. Such a material would have wide applications across a variety of disciplines.

Here's a useful article as well: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0953-2048/26/11/1...
You mean the fact that someone is recording their screen with the microscope video feed at the same time as the magnet in the hand they are placing underneath the scope? It looks like a pretty bog-standard lab video to me.

In addition to being the fastest way that doesn’t require any video editing, I can’t really think of a way to do it that would be more likely to be real.
I have thought about it, and some "modern" encryption but maybe not what you're thinking of.
I feel like its the opposite? Our attrition has slowed greatly in the past few months now that there is the expectation that we are in office on the same site (as it was pre-pandemic). There was just a spike post-covid as we were figuring out this policy.

RTO morale isn't really a thing. Morale is high when the team members enjoy the product, the respect of our customer and fellow teammates, and the ability to deliver to the product to the customer. We also have excellent work-life balance in leadership. This kind of morale can be garnered by both remote and in-person teams alike. I genuinely think it's an issue of nuance, personal preference, and specifics of geography.
The newer ones put thermocouple and heater in the tip so you get much faster reaction, which means they can get away with less power as they react faster. Not gonna help with desoldering some thick cables tho, for that you need raw power. Then again, ones like TS101 have the raw power comparable to the stations.

That being said difference between one and good classical soldering station isn't that big.

Different worlds I suppose, but for me it doesn't count as "productive" unless my audience is successful. So having support for myself doesn't get me very far.
Dino.im crashes too frequently for my tastes. It also doesn't have an official Windows version. Gajim looks outdated and the update procedure broke several times (I know the authors are working hard to modernize it though).

iOS story is sad. Family used Snikket (thanks for your work on it) but it still dropped notifications even after following with issues and Prosody modules needed. (Monal seems to be okayish now).

Even Conversations.im seems stuck. I know everyone has their favorite missing feature but for me no reactions is the biggest.
I'm thrilled to see the comments here. Jujube is a gem, an absolute gem. Ive never felt so empowered or fearless to make changes in a git repo, and never more confident that it would be really hard to lose work, unlike with git.
There's all kinds of cool examples of this using liquid nitrogen to make a superconductor exhibit the Meissner effect.

The material in question will have these effects at room temperature and pressure.

Conductors carry electrical current but have resistance, so you lose power to heat. Superconductors have effectively zero resistance so you don't lose power as they conduct.

We can make superconductors, but they only work at extremely cold temperatures, if they get too hot they turn back into bad conductors. This new material might be able to superconduct at room temperature, which means zero loss conductors without expensive bulky and complicated cooling systems. There are many cool things that can be done with zero loss conductors.
To me, there's are business models within the art industry that will be affected by LLM based image factories. As with all industrialization, mom-and-pop shops are the low hanging fruit.

Morale and onboarding experience most directly affect individual contributors, not management. I'm not sure I really understand your point.
In case I was missunderstood: it won't be the problem to use ceramic, compared to making mass produced room temperatur superconductors. This will be hard either way, if currently no other lab can even reproduce it.

> I discovered that some people deliberately choose to write stories in terminal-based text-editors like Nano or Vim

Vim and nano couldn't be more different, the only similarity is that they are terminal editors.

I wrote my thesis in vim + LaTeX (along with most of university assignments).

I find it does make it much easier to focus on the content. I setup some basic layout at the start, write all the content and then maybe tweak the layout towards the end.

Since it's plaintext, you can use git for version control. Plus vim has a great history tree (rather than being linear), which saved my ass a few times.

Disclaimer: vim is basically my religion ;)
Yeah cool, but why would you use it? What does it do? Can't be a propper introduction without that.

But well, I'm just a single point.
How about why not? The only reason it's not done is because git doesn't support it.
Even if this doesn't pan out, I'll dare to hope we get useful stuff out of this, like how we got Duct (duck?) tape and silly putty.

>The value of remote attestation in general (setting aside the implementation detail of RA-TLS) is that you have a form of software identity which is tied directly to the exact code that you're running. For example, if someone steals your service's API key, token, or cert, then they can impersonate your service. But if you are using remote attestation, they will not be able to generate the proper "credential" (a hardware-backed attestation document) to do it.

That's an excellent point and I agree it's important to ensure strong authentication/authorization for such applications.

However, as suggested in the Internet Draft, this would go far beyond simply ensuring that a specific peer is authorized to access another specific peer.

Rather, it would essentially assign (based on keys, presumably in a secure enclave) a globally unique identifier that can then be tracked across the entire internet, rather than just ensuring that a particular set of peers are authorized to securely communicate.

This is not a new issue and, for the most part, is a solved problem that absolutely does not require that arbitrary devices be permanently fingerprinted/identified.

I'm sure that many folks may disagree, especially since "remote attestation" is the new shiny, but that doesn't mean there aren't perfectly functional methods already in use that provide similar functionality -- without the potential for spying/tracking.

Ask HN: Is there a C standard library similar in style and function to Go's?
Out of all the languages I've used so far, I've come to appreciate Go's standard library the most. It's well structured and offers a very sensible scope of capabilities on a cross-platform basis. As far as I'm aware, C doesn't have any comparable standard library. I believe a Go-like standard library would make C a much more attractive language, especially if it includes a sensible coroutines implementation.

The ability to use a single standard library for UTF-8 strings, to parse JSON, compress/decompress gzip streams, and to serve a basic HTTP server, for instance, would be golden. And if, for instance, a standard library were to unite around common, analogous structures to Go's io.Reader/io.Writer, contexts, etc. there is much that could be gained at comparatively little cost.
So far the law had desired effect, and the companies making it hard to opt out are actually breaking said law, just nobody yet bothered to take them to court for that.
Wow, a legitimately unpopular opinion. Strongly disagree, I worked on complex frontends before React, and React was SUCH a breath of fresh air

Zero resistance and therefore zero electrical transmission losses would be one of the most significant real-world benefits.

Which is a great feature for a locked down intranet, cloud cluster, or IoT network. Terrible for public facing websites, but with the time to adoption rates of TLS 1.3 (and disabling the outdated TLS 1.1 and 1.2) and the use of http/3, I don't think any important party is even going to try to put this into production for any customer facing system.

> I rely on the built-in IDE integration (IntelliJ, FWIW)

That you're using IntelliJ makes a huge difference. VSCode's git integration is okay, but I honestly just reach for the command line if I'm using VSCode for a project. IntelliJ's, though, is hands down the best git UI out there. Even standalone apps can't compete with the convenience of having all the features bundled directly into your editor.

From what I've seen, a lot of people have tried git integrations in other IDEs and found that they are missing functionality and the features they do have aren't well done, so they assume that all git integrations will be the same. But as I've been reading through all the jj testimonials here, I can't help thinking that I already have all of this through the IntelliJ git plugin.

Actually my last paragraph is about efficiency, talent access and cost savings. As a leader, I have no reason to incur the massive cost of having an office because it's only going to limit the talent pool I have access too, cost the company a bunch of money and increase team friction.

I've managed around a dozen teams in my career and 100% of the time the fully remote teams have produced better results than the in-office teams. You're literally paying for worse performance and over time it's not going to be sustainable.
