>No they're not. They can still be compromised by malware and digital exploits when you type them into your device. If you have malware you're largely just fucked. That's why people have been trying to get rid of passwords forever, because they still are vulnerable to a number of attacks in various circumstances.

With the notebook you have a single password compromised which has the chance of serving as a canary to detect the compromise. With a password manager potentially every password is instantly compromised.

>This is the same threat model as a password manager. Always use a second factor regardless of the primary method.

No it's not. I'm not talking about 2fa; I'm talking about using passwords that eg. are a combination of a notebook part, and a secret only you know, thereby having a unique password for each service, while not having to remember 200 unique passwords.

>Only shitty ones. Security researchers were raising the alarm about LastPass long ago. 1Password and BitWarden are perfectly fine, secure and reliable. They all use zero-knowledge so as long as your master password is long and complex, there's no risk to your vaults.

If you have to pay attention to security researches to use a package manager it is already impractical for the wast portion of the population. All auditing of previous versions also ceases to be meaningful the moment a new version is released, or you are unable to actually verify the running version (which cloud software always has). You also have to trust the client software which is vulnerable to the same issues as local password managers.

>And actually, even then memorization is better than writing it down. Come up with a mnemonic for a long password phrase and some memory tricks to remember the phrase in case you forget it.

This would be great if people just needed a single password. People these days have hundreds of accounts. I have 239 and I'm reasonably conservative with creating new accounts. Remembering 239 secure passwords, even with a mnemonic is a fulltime job. It's not in any way realistic.

In the end, if you consider the intended audience for the advice of using paper password management it is the people who currently use a single password for every service they use. For those people any step-up is an improvement.
That's not what I was expecting but I'm not complaining.
> Bitcoin was designed to act like gold

Bitcoin's emission is quite unlike that of gold. Every next generation gets to mine 32x less bitcoin. Over gold's millennia long history, every generation mines a roughly similar amount of gold as the next.
Some stuff I'm particularly proud of:

- Most of the furniture and art [1] that I've made. I'm a very analytical person and physical creative outlets where I just create things that "feel good" really help me unwind... Even if those projects are pretty difficult for my often times rudimentary skills. There's a small gallery on my personal website.

- My own company [2] that makes titanium hand-blown glassware for whisky and spirits. They're made in Europe, so I don't personally craft them, but the glasses are my design and I learned how to 3D print prototypes - so "made" might vary based on your definition. Tangible things are just really cool and grounding.

It's 'solved' in the sense that there's a lot of machinery to deal with and remediate fraud and abuse. It's definitely not solved in a technical sense.

It might be helpful to stop and think for a moment about all the cool stuff one could do with a reliable way to link people to accounts uniquely, without fraud. If the government has 'solved' this, why not sell the solution to companies?
It's a perrenial debate due to ideology, not actual stats. The UK, despite the struggles the NIH has with.... everything, still has better outcomes than the US. This is JUST "outcomes" btw, as the UK also rates significantly higher than the US in "access to care". The US also has nearly twice as many "deaths that could be prevented by timely access to healthcare".

The main complaint about the UK system that people quote is "it takes a while to see a doctor" but that's true about most people here in the US as well. If you have not top-line insurance or live in a slightly rural area or a million other things.
Right: While an entertaining presentation is helpful, the most important factor is having a good metaphor that bridges the underlying concepts to something that can be pictured and casually reasoned about.
His other comments are the same. I see more and more of these racists coming into HN. They’re not being kicked out so maybe HN will eventually become “nazi bar.” It used to be nice here.
> Isn't that a large part of the source tree?

For Linux, yes. For a microkernel, those are different trees of userspace software.

Not to say, Hurd itself is userspace software, that runs over a microkernel (included on the distribution).
Reported by the motherboard's current sensor.
That sounds neat. I like the ultra-local approach.

The important thing that I think your argument is missing is that everything here is additive. I'm sure the whole Worldcoin team would love it if governance organizations of all sizes, from tiny villages to billion+ population nation states would run UBI programs to take care of their people. The thing is, today, that's not really happening, so there are a number of people working to make it happen from different angles. Maybe all of them fail, maybe one succeeds, maybe a bunch succeed and any given citizen of the world might be entitled to payments from a handful of UBI sources.

Do you think there are better global scale UBI projects and ideas out there, or do you think we should just stop trying to solve this problem?
I think it’s just because it’s described as “frugal”.
Pleased about this. I'm a huge fan of LXD. It's a powerful and underrated piece of tech.

I don't think the story on container (and VM!) orchestration is settled, and I'll be interested to see how the devs evolve the tech. I'll be deploying it, for sure.
I thought Pillars of Eternity was pretty good.
computability proofs could be a fun one for kids.
That demonstrates that you can use WebAssembly to make a snappy UI, it does not demonstrate that you must use WebAssembly.

It's nearly ten years old now but I remember being absolutely blown away by React Canvas, a UI toolkit that leveraged React but instead of rendering DOM nodes it rendered to a <canvas/> tag. Beautiful, 60fps stuff. All written in JS. Unfortunately all the demos seem to have disappeared since but here's a blog post about it:

https://engineering.flipboard.com/2015/02/mobile-web

Point is, both Makepad and React Canvas have something in common: they ditched the DOM. There are both advantages and disadvantages to doing so but the relevant point is that you don't need to use WebAssembly to do it.
Hey Michael and Justin, I just wanted to let you know that I rebuilt a small web app (used by ~2K people/month) with help from Phind V1, and I found it extremely useful.

The old app used Vue 2, PHP, and a dead build system. The new one uses Vue 3, Vite, and TypeScript (with serverless functions hosted on Vercel for now). This was the first time I'd used Vite and TypeScript seriously, and although I was familiar with Vue 2 it was my first time using Vue 3 for a project.

Phind saved me a ton of time (I'd estimate 50%) and hassle on the tasks I used it for. As an "enthusiast" software engineer, I asked it a ton of dumb questions that I couldn't possibly have asked on Stack Overflow, in Discord channels, etc.

Just so this doesn't come off as completely fawning, it wasn't unusual for it to be confidently wrong, in which case I'd correct Phind and try again. It was rare that I couldn't eventually get to a correct answer by correcting Phind's assumptions, missing information, or mistakes.

Best of luck to you and the team!
I got into woodworking during the pandemic, built several pieces of furniture, my favorite is a firepit table [0].

The top is made out of concrete, and the rest is wood. The propane tank fits inside so it is out of view. I did buy the piping and the grill from where the fire comes out of, but other wise all done in my basement.

Other builds include a kitchen island, a coffee table, and a live-edge standing desk. I think the next thing I want to build is outdoor seating that goes with the firepit.

> Isn't the usual theory for this that they're pulling up the ladder?

Actual capture involves industry coöpting existing regulators through revolving doors and burdensome rules that reduce the threat of new entrants. It happens quietly. The only times industry proposes new frameworks in public is when they're cornered.

The "regulatory capture" playbook OpenAI purported to follow has zero actual precedent. It is only rhetorically precedented in crypto, where the same nonsense about creating a new regulator that would simultaneously be less-burdensome than the status quo yet also cement incumbents' advantages was pitched to the naïve.

As I said, poorly documented. In fact, there is no defensible reason why they all need to exist.

And I didn't understand anything you said after and including bourne shell. I don't know if Windows has any documentation for its environment variables program, but I have never needed documentation for it because it's not brain dead. It's a GUI. An interface which is self-documenting.
Could be a play to spin-up 3nm, make it more reliable, while Apple foots a large part of the cost.
An idea from the 'Crossing the Chasm' book is to find a niche where whatever characteristics of the product you're working on can win. You are not going to win going head to head with the entrenched competitors.

What does that look like for Hurd?
Show HN: Coauthored – Simple Content Rephraser
I wanted a dead-simple content rephraser that takes into account tone and style.

In all honesty it's a pretty dumb app, but might be useful if you spend a lot of time writing things! Feedback welcome.
I don't see how reading good advice on doing deep work is at odds with spending time doing it. "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe," etc.

It seems pretty unfair to call him a "hustle culture charlatan" when at the same time later on pointing out his emphasis on work-life balance. Isn't that the opposite of hustle culture?

I've found his advice incredibly useful in my career.. both for getting more done (that is actually important to ME), and for having a less stressful life.
Governments are not worried about cryptocurrencies inhibiting their ability to procure weapons, because they are not insane.
I wonder, will we have any solution for local development? Or we always will depend on closed control plane?
I would argue Haswell is the real "still works great today" threshold, with its AVX2 support.

eDRAM Broadwell is even more modern. Its got truly beefy integrated graphics and a Ryzen X3D like cache, but it largely flew under the radar at the time, and Intel never made anything quite like it again.
Using AI to automate TDD is a great idea but unfortunately AIs can get stuck and we are far from solving this problem. Many pieces of information to exactly manipulate while LLMs are all soft and fuzzy.
This is the current standard amongst AI search/answer engines and this is frankly the first complaint that we've heard about this.

That said, I hear you loud and clear and we will introduce more options for data privacy. Please feel free to reach out to me at michael@phind.com to chat further.
I'm not sure about that. There's more to being a government than preventing people from using media of exchange that you haven't blessed.

Besides, if borders had anything to do with it, it was never UBI in the first place.

there's a civil war ongoing but your income is still at its pre-war level (without any devaluation, meaning you keep your pre-war purchasing power) thanks to the magic of the blockchain.
> On the internet, the personal familiarity is gone, the proximity is gone, the facial expressions and tone are gone, and indeed the fear of repercussions is mostly gone.

The idea of writing and sharing thoughts is an ancient one. Engaging with that content in an easily publishable and shareable way, is.

The quoted sentence above is 100% right. If you replace "On the internet" with "In a book," and I think the sentence would highlight the differences with the internet a bit clearer.

The internet is unique from a book because others can engage with it in a real way (beyond a book club). A book club keeps that proximity, familiarity, and expressions together for better communication. An online forum loses all of these.
Those of us born here have seen the decline. And are not happy about it.

I'm 50 next year, and have been politically conscious since I was a teen.. so have seen a half a century of it.

In particular the decimation of the health care system has just been slow and terrible to watch. Destruction of green spaces, sprawl, and difficulty of living in the GTA. Destruction of farmland, garbage on the beaches, overcrowding in almost every tourist or recreational area near Toronto. Nasty political polarization and viciousness. Racism and bigotry on the rise. And worst of all, that housing has become inconceivably expensive for working class people.

I wouldn't call the problems -- especially the trend line of them -- minor.

The expectation for previous generations was improvement of quality of life over generations. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case.

Again, I blame both major political parties. Liberals just happen to be wearing the hat right now federally.
Racist to point out the lower standards for blacks? Here's literally the alternative/inclusive testing pilot for new Massachusetts public school teachers.

Cambridge, MA just literally got rid of Algebra in middle school so the black kids wouldn't feel bad about themselves. Diversity is a strength.
I honestly think we're going to see a lot less of this going forward. Recent generations were very hot and both AMD and Intel are now basically designing for the thermal limit (90-100 °C). I doubt there's going to be a lot of 13900Ks or 7950Xes that will last 10 years.

I was going to say the same thing, but with non-edible plants. I grow succulents and cacti, which are beautiful and extremely unique (seriously, the bear paw succulent is the CUTEST THING, and a String of Pearls has a window in each pearl showing you how much water is in it!).

It's so satisfying to watch them grow and to show progress... even if I have killed a few on accident.
We’re building an "IDE for notes/tasks" [1], so as an editor of sorts, UI snappiness matters a lot for us too. The approach we’re taking is to basically split up the app in two parts (we refer to these parts as "frontend" and "backend", but they are both on the client).

The frontend does all the rendering for the editor, which we want to stay within the frame budget. That's why we offload all data synchronization work (applying CRDT deltas, encrypting/decrypting data to/from websockets, IndexedDB caching, search, parsing JSON and so on) to the "backend" thread.

I think for apps like this, splitting the UI and data part up (kind of like a frontend and a backend in a classic client/server web app) is very useful to prevent blocking the main thread. In our case this "backend" is actually a SharedWorker, which has the added benefit that it's very easy to keep all state in sync with multiple open tabs/windows, and we just multiplex all incoming websocket events to all connected "frontends".

I agree passing messages is a bit clunky, but we’ve taken a similar approach to comlink so we can simply "await" a function call on the backend from the frontend. Besides setting that up once (or just using something like comlink), it's not much work. Okay except I found debugging on Chrome a bit clunky, as I think Firefox allows you to see all SharedWorker console output from within the main thread console for example (with Chrome you can open the inspector for shared workers separely). Plus we also have all kinds of other neat features with modern browsers these days, like the SharedWorker, and zero-copy communication using Transferable objects.

Exactly. Like for example if I'm the passenger and I do want to see the store names along the intended route, and even the ratings and reviews, while the driver is zooming down the freeway to make a decision about where to eat, without taking it off navigation mode.

Oh and not to mention that it sometimes tries to translate street names to my phone's language setting. Leave street names in their original language so I can match it up to the physical signs, goddamnit.

Have you looked at the size of L3 caches lately? You could fit a whole ‘nother OS in one of those.
Julia Evans has written some of the best articles and zines about UNIX/networking and about how to learn technical topics in general. The people she blocked are not arguing in good faith, they are vexatious commenters who have no interest in discussing all the other things she has written about, but just want to pursue a very specific identity politics debate over and over again.

Not having those people in the discussion isn't an 'echo chamber', any more than asking a belligerent drunk gatecrasher to leave your birthday party creates an echo chamber.

Note that it doesn't matter whether or not these people are factually correct or not about the etymology of 'dig' for this to be the right conclusion for Julia to draw.
Opt out != opt in. This reminds me of the beginning of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy where Dent’s house is being demolished but the notice had been on display in a locked basement below city hall or something. He could have objected, technically!
I can't speak to GCP or Azure but the semantics of a log offer replayability whereas SQS does not.
I've still yet to win, or see anybody win a traffic case based on technicalities like this. But if you have a traffic lawyer, he can probably 'convince' the judge over a game of golf to accept your argument.
Yeah, streaming accounts are probably the only ones in my password manager that aren't randomly generated for that reason. "Gimme movies now!" (not my actual passphrase)
Even rms gave up on Hurd and it stopped being a core priority of the GNU Project a long time ago. The current maintainers/developers are doing it as a solo hobby. Which is fine, but that's what you should keep in mind as far as support if you decide to use it.

In what way is it BS? The title is misleading, but (as you pointed out) the article clarifies exactly the situation here.
I know that fire pits (and outdoor stoves) need high heat mortar ... did you use that here or is the heat level low enough that it's not necessary.
RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, MQtt

Arch wiki is a great resource even if you are on an other distro, only difference is config file location in most cases.

Having up to date packages also mean having new bugs you have to deal with, for some users having a stable things outweigh having cutting edge.

Never understood people obsession with distro, whatever work for you is fine, they are all linux+open source tools

Here's some art I've made by carving linoleum blocks and then printing them on paper: https://imgur.com/a/gdRTrYp

For many of them there's usually multiple images or ideas expressed within, but it's difficult to get people to share their thoughts or feedback beyond a simple comment that they think it looks cool. The most rewarding feedback is when someone spots an unintended detail or interpretation which I hadn't considered during their creation. I think a key aspect of art is in the act of interpretation by part of the viewer. The creation of beauty in the interaction between art and a mind.
Both desktop and mobile GPUs are tile based now. This is outdated.
Idle power consumption is hard to compare because peripherals, configuration and firmware have enormous sway.

However, painting with broad brushes, Sandy Bridge has modern power management and idles comparably to newer CPUs (a lot better than some modern ones even).
To be honest, I didn't until now. The first six comments are automated, and I stopped scrolling fairly quickly. My bad, and I'll quietly be mad at the state of the GitHub PR "discussion" tab that has just too much spam in it.

I'm glad you wrote your last paragraph! I did wonder how much of the credits cost was just overhead as the costs of small/medium/large are fairly close to each other. It makes sense to me.
I didn't say they were being dishonest, I said it feels dishonest. Consider it a critique of the message with my reasoning given.

I was actually trying to find the numbers myself, and it was surprisingly more involved than I'd care for. I didn't want to give someone else more work, but happy to see the numbers expanded. I stand by my criticism, though. It feels off. If you want to say it is justified, spend more effort justifying it.
Thanks for the feedback! One of our main focuses for Phind V2 is reducing cases where it is confidently wrong by asking the user clarifying questions when it's stuck.
