> Where have you been?

Working in education the last 10 years. I mean all of that seems really unreasonable if that's the case.

Where I work they took my work phone away because I wasn't using it enough. Now if I need to make a call, it's just with my cell phone. No way that's being recorded.

Additional idea for why this won't be used as much as they hope: Creating the software is just one part of the entire process of utilizing software. Small scripts actually could be possible to be written by AI, but actually using them could turn up challenging for normal users.

Anyone who has setup a coding project knows that actually creating the project structure, setting up dependencies, build scripts, making the code compile/be interpreted are all problems that can have extremely obscure, frustrating errors, and they happen before you even start coding.

Then, not to mention, deploying the software. Even if you give someone code, they won't immediately know how to run it. End users get worried at the idea of opening a terminal and running a command in it, no matter how easy it is. Not to mention setting up the software to do so. (Is the right Python version even installed?)

As such, even if an AI could write a perfect script in code from standard text to, say, lowercase all of the words in a document, it would still be hard for non-developers to use because of the surrounding knowledge barrier, outside of the code itself. Although, yeah, it would be easier.

Are companies supposed to help unions form against them?

You're framing it as an inherently adversarial relationship. Owners of a company are allowed to coordinate, and do so by voting their shares to select directors and officers. Workers should be similarly free to organize in pursuit of their interests. In many cases, the interests of shareholders and labor will coincide because the workers understand a lot of things about the business that the shareholders (and indeed management in many cases) do not.
I'd go further than that. Corporate profits become stores of value. The money stops moving, which reduces the transaction rate and lowers inflation.

That is, after all, how interest rates work. We 'tax' the mortgage payers and give it to deposit holders to hold as a store of value. That reduces the transaction rate.

So if we tax corporate profits and redistribute it around, then interest rates have to go higher to force the money released from the corporate profit store, to the deposit holder store.

If prices are too high, the solution is to encourage the capitalisation of more competition, not encourage keeping money in the bank.
I'm sure it's mostly used for convenience rather than anything nefarious. Most of my doctors are in a medical group that uses an app with built in messaging. It's at least an attempt to allow texting that's compliant.
Care to provide some examples. The majority of sites submitted to HN do not even require cookies let alone tokens in special headers. A site like Twitter is an exception not the general rule.
I’m in this right now, my wife has symptoms that are in a word, scary. The rug pull of hormones that happens after birth, they can turn a stable, well adjusted, incredibly good mom into someone who is afraid to hold their own baby.

We’re in 3 groups, we have a private therapist for this, and if it’s anything like last time there will be another light switch at 4-6 weeks where she is suddenly back to normal. This pill is another layer of support, and a necessary one so new moms with PPD can bond with their baby, and so their partner doesn’t have to manage a two year old full time during the day and a feeding every other hour at night.

I think your care and concern is well founded, it sounds like your heart is in the right place, but I think you should re-think this take.

You install App X from Vendor Y on to vSystem Z.

Vector is found to get untrusted code C to run in the user area on Z via exploit in X that Y has not acknowledged, so researchers publish a CVE with an example.

C starts trying to read memory from threads shared on same vCPU, revealing db connection string used by X, the nonce and salt for hashing.

Now just imagine the robot spouting off this nonsense while it decides if it's supposed to exterminate the wasp nest on your porch for neighborhood safety or the back of your head.
Somehow this phenomenon reminds me of the phenomenon when someone is sensory deprived like sitting quietly in a sounds-absorbing chamber. It looks like the neural networks always produce something and when nothing meaningful is on the input, the networks will output nonsense, ghosts or repeated fragments of past informations/stored informations.
Probably much higher than you suspect. Making password haikus is an obvious idea which has been suggested many times before.

I'm sure that even with a great statistical model of password haikus (say an LLM) yours would still be one in a billion which still seems unlikely, but a cracking cluster can try billions per second.

In these cases it's very easy to have security that depends on the odds that a powerful attacker just hasn't gotten around to seriously trying the broad class of predictable generation schemes you've used.

That sounds awful. People would be jamming entire 10MB toolkits into WASM to do things that HTML could do, and performance would probably suffer.

HTML is declarative. The machine understands it. I like things machines can understand and optimize. Things that you can write automated tools to work with because it's not a full turing machine. If you want to make a screen reader, you can. If you want to reflow for mobile in a better way, you can, because you know what's text and what's an image.

Just giving people a programming environment and the ability to draw some pixels, the browser has no idea what the intent is. There's nothing to optimize unless the individual sites do, and I doubt they have Google and Mozilla's budget.

We already have too many unnecessary powerful imperative systems out there.

Why did Amazon build its own delivery fleet in the first place? Unless you were strenuously against that idea from the outset, the answer is that even with the costs it was probably cheaper than buying the service from other corporations.
True but the rules for bank traders do cover this. The rules cover all traders.

In the 90s we had an IT contracter complaining the bank told him not to use a messaging app as the bank could not read it. The issue is the bank is at risk if communications were not recorded. At the time phones were already all recorded.

This "news" site is absolutely useless as the top "news" is just a bunch of whinging about climate change and covid19. Even the genres don't get rid of it, as selecting "world" brings up climate change. "general" brings up covid19, etc.

That's a shame. How could most of the popular news be such nothingness?

No the traders would have to use approved messing apps. The banks don"t like not knowing as it is easiest to defraud the company you are working for.
That's the theory. The practice is somewhat different.

Money is a stock. It's the flow of transactions that matter for inflation, and that just increases - as we see from increased credit card lending, and increased trade credit in business (which is the commercial equivalent).

Higher rates just means higher prices, which then leads into higher wage demands.

There is no control until the money becomes 'dead' - saved by people who already have money.

Which funnily enough the banks were doing before they got taxed...
I do believe this is an issue of not having explicit dependencies. Julia takes the approach of, we build and ship everything for every OS, which means Pkg (the package manager) knows about binary dependencies as well. Making things more reproducible in language

A lot of very talented people make a living by posting videos to YouTube.

YouTube gives them a platform to remain independent content authors. It's not perfect. Nothing is.

YouTube shares ad revenue with them. That's their living. If you pay for premium, you do not see ads but YouTube still pays them for your view. I don't know the full details, I'm sure it isn't perfect.

I'm not sure what part of that you were concerned about knowing, but I am glad I can not view ads and that I can consume a lot of great independently content for a very minimal monthly cost.
Your phone calls would be recorded. SO what is the difference.
Quite the opposite for me. The older I get (42 now) the less patience I have for people who sacrifice freedom for convenience. You're ruining it for my children when you do this.
The outdoor mall in Alameda has notoriously awful coverage. It was so annoying that I called Verizon to complain about it. The operator said that the population density was too low to support good coverage there (WTF), and that also the trees there block the signal (I could see a Verizon tower from the parking lot where I was standing, and you can see from one end of the island to another from the upper floor of tall houses).

I will never understand how the powers that be decide where to deploy coverage.
I wonder how many megaprojects get kicked off from a nose bender, especially in it's heyday. Perhaps the hubris of humanity is just the hangover of a boardroom bathroom break.
Also, 24GB is good because it's just barely big enough for the (currently unreleased) Llama V2 34B.

In Llama V1, 7B was clever but kinda dumb, 13B was still short sighted, but 33B was a big jump to "disturbingly good" territory. 7B/13B finetunes required very specific prompting, but 33B would still give good responses even outside the finetuning format.

16GB is probably perfect for a ~13B model with a very long context and better (5 bit?) quantization, or just partially offloading a ~33B model.

>The kind of horror stories you hear in Michoacan, Oaxaca, or Tamaulipas are similar to those you'd hear of Guizhou, Yunnan, or Xinjiang.

C'mon this is kind of assinine comparison/argument. It's fine to remind everyone that Mexico is comfortably middle income, and well beyond development indicators needed to build effective manufacturing sectors but they also have law and order problems leading to homocide rates 4x higher than US, 60x higher than PRC. Mexican dysfunction gets disproportionate reporting in US media being basically domestic news adjacent, but it's not completely unwarranted. Mexico may not be categorically an war zone like Syria or Libya but with homocide rate like Venezuela, domestic serenity is closer to failed state territory. That's what people think about when they think of Mexican 3rd world horror stories - open, persistent level of extreme violence gov can't control. Perception worsened by Mexican geography where unlike PRC where violence (especially gun) is thorougly suppressed or extreme persisent violence previously limited to largely frontiers (also now suppressed), in Mexico one is rarely ever more than a few 100 km from crazy town - it seems close everywhere. Mexico still feels like worse 90s Hunan where armed villages had homemade artillery battles. It certainly feels more dysfunctional than ASEAN barring Myanmar, including Sihanoukville Cambodia where PRC pushed triad operations. I say this as a Chinese shill who ranks Mexico city over most tier1/2 PRC cities.

My packaging experience is limited, but I found the docs were quite poor. It took perseverance & researching install error messages to create an RPM that worked. So you might consider hiring for people willing to do that kind of work.

The good news is that I learned a tremendous amount about where programs and files should actually be installed through packaging. It was surprising to me how many conventions package managers enforce. I was also surprised how poorly software followed those conventions when installed without package managers. Packaging improves user experience, developer experience, and quality. Can’t recommend it enough!
> Have Dev and Ops collaborate closely

That’s what DevOps is… or, was. I remember when it was new; that was the whole thing: dev and ops should work together. A break from the norm of the time that dev throws it over the wall to ops and never thinks about it again. What a tragedy that it’s been cargo-culted into its current meaning of “devs do ops” (poorly).
shouldnt say this but. I honestly think the vaccine has caused persistent GERD for me. Since vaccination ive developed consrant reflux resulting in post nasal drip and it actually negatively impact my life (daily coughing). Before vax i dont think i had these issues. Im probably alone in this, but getting vax actually seems to have lowered my quality of life.
From the discussion in the paper:

> Viral myocarditis unrelated to mRNA COVID-19 vaccination are life-threatening conditions and have been reported to lead to heart failure and cardiac transplantation, or death [3]. Conversely, current scientific evidence shows that myocarditis related to COVID-19 vaccination result in a more favorable outcome with quicker resolution of symptoms [1], [2], [6].

The thing is, I see a huge difference between high-end health plans (for example, at places like Meta, which include IVF coverage) and middle-of-the-road plans (like my employer provides) and bare-minimum plans (like MediCal).

Which plan would we be talking about for government coverage? I assume barebones plans.

In that case, it still matters who you work for, because some employers still provide much better coverage.

Ask HN: Do you use any apps or tools to limit your kids' screen time?
What apps or tools you use, if any, to limit your kids' screen time?

In my case, I am currently manually monitoring my three year old's screen time, trying to limit to 0-20 minutes a day. That said, I can't always keep exact track, so it would be nice if I could make his tablet automatically lock after 20 minutes of youtube, for example. The app store is full of options, but many seem to be of dubious quality, and I'm wondering if there might be a more DIY hacker kind of option.

His tablet (Amazon Fire 7 Kids) has some parental controls, but they are not very good. In fact, the "kids" mode was too restrictive (can only install Amazon apps) so I gave up and just let him use an "adult" account. As a side note, I found these command line tools very useful for debloating and installing google apps on the Fire:

Regarding VM/core/chip/motherboard boundaries ...

A number of vexing CPU security vulnerabilities have resulted from a general class of optimizations that share cache resources (memory, TLBs, branch prediction tables, etc.) across different domains, which enables cross-domain attacks.

There is a potential for vulnerabilities even when the domains are separated by a network boundary ... if those domains view the world through some shared cache at the network layer.
Managers perform a helpful role. There’s a lot of ways to be bad at everything and many (most?) people are minimally effortful which exacerbates the actual difficulties. Good managers (in my experience) are uncommon but managers are common.

However, I am convinced that if a person’s title is Scrum Master it doesn’t matter how much effort they give for their job; they will never fix the error of their position being created and filled.

Fifteen years ago we were talking about how algae biodiesel was going to prevent global warming. A few people would admit that the challenge was going from algae growing in the pipes to algae growing on the pipes, where it could not be harvested. Fifteen years later few people talk about these designs, which means nobody solved the problems before the money ran out.

As I was reading this article, I started thinking, "what we really need is a surface area you can extract and expand", and the image of a roll of corrugated material came into my head. It's a lot of surface area in a cylindrical space, and when unwound you have substantial access to the surface. No nooks and crannies that you can't reach with a simple tool.

The other route to go is what the pool industry does, which is to 'shock' the system, which essentially means to poison the microbes in such a way that they fall into suspension and you can filter them out (possibly with a separate filter so you don't foul the standard one). But that shuts the whole system down for some time. Not a showstopper if you can rotate out reactors, but I think you'd be better off with a replaceable parts mentality, swapping out parts for maintenance and cleaning and bringing the system online faster.

> Aren't system designers at fault for coming up with the idea of a context switch

Context switching was in the Apollo 11 guidance computer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx7Lfh5SKUQ

The problem is that cycle-speed boosts left the industry cic. 2012-or-so. All the perf boost we get these days is by optimizing the instruction sequencing and multiprocessing. This is why languages like Go popped up (making the advanced programming topic of multiprogramming an entry-level accomplishment) and you now see the 'async' decorator plastered everywhere in C#, and so-on.

Keeping the security context intact and separated is a gargantuan task.

To me it makes more sense to add "lousy cores" to the die and force the operator to declare the launching threads are safe for SMT, else the job gets scheduled to the less-performing core where the pipelining is safer. It delegates responsibility to the chip-gobbler, forces them to understand the tradeoff for performance, until some elegant solution is found for side channel attacks like this.
