I'm not sure why your getting down voted so much. This is literally what Henry Ford and others did. He raised wages for staff to be the highest in manufacturing, then improved their throughout by streamlining and removing wastes, then he lowered the cost of cars to customers making the market for them change from a few per year for only the ultra wealthy to what it is today. Thus expanding the needed workers.
Cruise agrees to reduce driverless car fleet in San Francisco after crash
That sounds made up but they don't need an RSS feed to do that. RSS could actually help with your defense because it means others could have a copy of your post from your feed fetched before the liar's.
Why bother? The old apps are going to stop working at some point (and soon, if the recent API breakage continues). If you don’t like what Twitter has become, stop using it.
From yesterday:

DMV tells Cruise to reduce its driverless vehicle fleet in SF by 50%: https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/firetruck-siren-lights-o...

Proves my point that San Francisco is a horrible place to test market driverless cars.

> In a statement released Friday night, the DMV said it is investigating “recent concerning incidents” involving Cruise's vehicles in San Francisco. In addition to halving the number of vehicles in the city, the DMV called for Cruise, a subsidiary of General Motors, to have no more than 50 vehicles operating during the day and 150 vehicles driving at night until the agency's investigation is complete.

> As SFGATE previously reported at the time of the Aug. 7 meeting, which featured a slide deck on autonomous vehicle performance in the city, “In 2023, the department logged about 50 incidents involving AVs that nearly crashed into personnel, obstructed travel or blocked stations, per the presentation — and five more reports were written up over the weekend.”

> Nicholson provided a statement in response to Chiu’s move, sent to SFGATE on Thursday by the city attorney’s office. “We do not believe the industry has any incentive to remain at the table and solve their problems,” she said. “These incidents with Public Safety are not going away and are in fact increasing.”

This kind of thing is so foreign to me. Why all the dance? It makes no sense to me. I'll offer you a choice of coffee, tea, water, juice. Whatever we currently have basically. You say which one you want or you get nothing. Your choice.
That "not changing habits" thing has nothing to do with Ozempic. Based on my experience with the drug (taken six months for type 2 diabetes), you won't lose any weight at all on it UNLESS you change your habits. What the drug does is make it easier for you to change your habits!

I dislike platitudes like these that don't acknowledge that life is about tradeoffs, and sometimes a little caution gives large rewards.

Not really. Animal agriculture is the leading driver of deforestation, biodiversity loss and droughts, and its other effects on the environment include significant greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, and soil degradation.

> Oh no, you need to find a line of text in a string that contains the word 'YES'. How incredibly difficult. Are you even a programmer? This is entirely trivial.

"Yes alright renew my subscription, just make it start in two weeks this time"

Your "solution" fails immediately here, because it gives people a false idea that they are in a dialogue with you whereas they are actually just expected to reply in a binary way.

Finding "a line of text in a string that contains the word 'YES'" is indeed trivial, however if that's all you can think of you should not be employed in any position of responsibility as it demonstrates a profound lack of judgement, understanding of how real people behave, and general business acumen.

The best you'll likely do on that front is the monthly Freelancer / Seeking Freelancer post on HN. I don't know what kind of success rate people have with those.

Most contracting ends up being through personal relationships though.

This initially took me down a road of silly mysticism, like thinking about a fly with a gazillion images in its eyes, but even humans don't always perceive time exactly the same way. Who hasn't had a meeting that felt like it would never end, or said "five more minutes" to a toddler?
Or maybe they're just trying to do the right thing for women. Perhaps the decision-makers in FIDE have listened to feminist critique of this recent policy movement that advocates for men who call themselves women to be allowed in what would otherwise be women-only spaces.

There is no increased mortality in the paper. The paper only looks at risk of death from solid tumors.

I'd be surprised if the authors haven't done the calculation of total mortality and decided that there is no discernible radiation dose-dependent effect on total mortality or total QALY. In a better world, that would also be a very good paper, but it isn't in ours.

That's why they are looking for solid tumor mortality.

More people need to read this Steve Blank presentation.

There's a ton of people on HN who post about their roles in software engineering as though their internet-spawned livelihood just magically appeared out of some pacifist commune in Berkeley.

Not true in the slightest. Almost every piece of tech that the tech community builds on - semiconductors, the internet, satellite mapping, GPS - was paid for first by the military, who needed it back when nobody ever thought there'd be a commercial use for it.

We owe the military industrial complex a bit of a debt in that regard, even if we don't like to admit it.
I wasn't racing down the street, if that's what you're saying. And, at least in these parts, pedestrians aren't supposed to walk in the middle of the street if there are sidewalks available (outside certain designated areas, of which this street was not one).

Many a street has been converted to such an area. But rules apply to everybody, and sometimes even an obnoxious biker can actually be in the right.
Apparently I wasn't the only one.

Yeah, you have a point. The fundamental problem is always: How can I keep an adversary from cloning/proxying a legitimate site then trickung users into visiting it. It's a hard problem even if there is a centralized authority and pretty much still open for decentralized systems.

I still think however that there are some properties of local networks that make this less risky:

- an attacker needs to be physically close to their victims in some way (or at least get devices into physical proximity): The rogue access point has to be located somewhere, someone has to tape over the QR codes, someone has to plug into the local network or connect to WLAN to send spoofed ARP/DHCP/DNS replies, etc. Compare that to phishing/typosquatting attacks on the internet where an attacker can be anywhere on the globe and can make their site look legitimate with a simple LE cert.

- an attacker is more at risk of being exposed. i.e. if someone keeps spoofing the university network, people might start to try and locate the wifi signal and knock on doors. That's a lot more risk than phishing/typosquatting for a lot less reward: Even if the attack works perfectly, you can only impersonate the local-only domains, not internet domains. (In fact, we don't currently live in an HTTPS-only world, so there would actually be some value for an attacker to spoof some campus wifi right now. I haven't heard of any incidents in that regard, so that leads me to believe that the risks are to high compared to the rewards)

- there are lots of situations where spoofing the CA information would require you to do a full supply-chain attack, such if I connect directly to a device using a cable or NFC connection; QR code stickers put directly on the device; if I manually add the device of another person to a wifi network I know, etc. (Those are slightly different use cases than "art installation" etc. I'd say they are still valuable though, e.g. for frictionless setup of local-only IoT devices)

> If you want to have full control over your local network environment, that's another thing, but you can't then expect everyone else's devices to automatically trust your environment

But that's the point, I don't want them to fully trust my environment. It's perfectly reasonable that there is no way to override the CA of say, google.com without an extremely scary security warning.

However, I'd like a way to offer some sort of website from a local network without causing a huge hassle for everyone who wants to use it or having to pretend I it's an internet domain.

> The standard joke is a joke, because it is wrong.

No, it's a joke because it's _physically_ impossible but allowed.

That said, clang and gcc are of course not antagonistic and don't make use of UB to anger their users. Instead, they make use of UB to aggressively optimize (valid) programs, which is important because C is used for a lot of high-performance code where every bit of optimization can save a lot of time and money. The fact that this sometimes leads to invald programs (i.e. programs with no defined behavior according to the standard) being optimized to correct but "absurd" results is just a trade-off compiler writers like to take. Mostly because such programs are erroneous anyway, even under a strict "portable assembler" view, which again the standard does not enforce (or even encourage).
Even for the ones with quizzes at the end and lots interactive elements throughout (not a video), oftentimes the most time-efficient strategy is to speed click through and just guess the quiz answers using common sense. Hasn't failed me yet.

The physical switches (alarm/radio etc) still work perfectly - while over the decades since I've seen so many devices end up with failed/glitchy buttons within a few years.

It seems the UI Scale option doesn't work on Mac? I tried this repo [0] but it wasn't launching correctly. Also HD mode doesn't work on Mac.

I then installed Ubuntu (arm server, then installed desktop) via UTM and installed 2009scape via flatpack and was able to scale the UI up but still no HD mode. Scaling is better than nothing even if I have to run a VM but I wish I could run HD. I can't find much info about this online unfortunately other than the FAQ saying you need java 11 (the flatpack installed that) and that it doesn't work on Mac.

Hey, thanks for the analysis and questions!

I did check on FMJ many years ago when researching about Visual Programming Languages. I recall the very inspiring notes on the FMJ website (http://www.fmjlang.co.uk/fmj/FMJ.html).

(1) The type system is inspired by TypeScript. It has generics that are resolved when unit pins are connected to concrete types. Right now there’s no way to define new types. Hopes are that type inference alone would be good enough for a start. Likewise, new interfaces cannot be created. Only the system defined interfaces can be exposed, such as channel `CH` and media stream `ST`. That is interesting because it influences the design of machines in terms of common interfaces and protocols for inputs and outputs.

(2) The visual representation is a graph specification stored in JSON. I think JSON works well with current version control systems in terms of diff readability, but I don’t see why custom unit components couldn’t be created to show the diff in graph, visually.

(3) The unit will stop the data flow and emit an “error” event. To catch this event particularly, there’s a `catch unit.

(4) Yes, there’s a few examples of recursive units, such as a `merge sort` in the open source system. The `editor` unit can’t create them from scratch right now though… but it can be done with a meta trick…

(5) The graph is loaded and saved as a JSON. The JSON has to be read by an interpreter that will instantiate all the primitives and make all the connections. Unit specification is language agnostic, but currently the project is all written in JavaScript (works with Web and NodeJS).
Nothing that can't be solved with more code and more splitting! That will make things simpler! The more problems your code causes, the more code, the more solutions!

(Well, ok, I'm having a hard time solving the first one with more code, but did hear this claim applied to it more than once, so I'm keeping it general.)

There is a huge amount of people that sees nothing wrong with my rationale up there. I don't get it either.
I'm not a fan of Go, but I have to admit that benchmark doesn't make any sense. If you use tail calls in a language that doesn't support TCO, then of course you'll get bad results.

I guess its easier to just throw in some numbers than compare idiomatic implementations and then discuss tradeoffs with some nuance.

Even if its just a language teaser, I'd still add a note on TCO to avoid misleading people though.
It's been many years but I used to be in charge of the installers for a small company. WIX was an incredible gift compared to InstallShield and company but it did have a steep learning curve. Much easier to do as I pleased in CI/CD though.

In regards to the exe wrappers, handy for bundling dependencies but also useful for elevating permissions in ways you can't do in a standard MSI which only allows elevated permissions during certain stages of the install.
This was exactly what I was contemplating when I read that article. I believe that olfactory-augmented innovations could undoubtedly enhance the value of devices that are currently only performing acrobatics (flipping and folding).

> If the Ukrainians are doing it the Russians don’t know they’re doing it

wouldn’t that explain it rather cleanly? aren’t there plenty of asinine actions taken in war?

speculation, yes. the cost will likely be downvotes for me. that’s ok. taking your sentence, let’s run with that and show a possibility.

ukraine fights asymmetrically. you have seen this with drone boats, drones dropping bombs, drones taking prisoners, soldiers on e-bikes, etc. scrappy. (many americans dig this subconsciously - echoes of the revolutionary war ringing in their ears from centuries ago.)

russia seems to fight… dumb. brute force. big stick. not the country, not the people, but the military operation - dumb. crude.

if you were a smart, ukranian allied (but maybe not even affiliated) hacker and you wanted to make the russian military look worse, you amp up the damage signals from their march into cez. who cares how plausible, it just needs to be upsetting. russians + radiation. done and done.

if you were a dumb russian, upon learning that “you caused this massive radiation spike,” you might want to hide the evidence - the sensor data. because you don’t want to deal with the fallout, no pun intended.

if you were a smart ukranian hacker, you might get real quiet now, because oops those modified values aren’t exactly going to blend in. but it doesn’t matter. the dumb russian believed your ruse, and hid your manipulation, thinking it their failure. which might be better than you hoped.

the motive can be quite simple. hurt the other side. it doesn’t need to be rational, and the execution can be anything but. which, once all sides are involved, can look more like chaos.

or maybe it was nothing of the sort.

You can control the mute in software using the Arduino USB keyboard library, then just send the appropriate key combination when the button is pressed:

For MS Teams, you send Ctrl+Shift+M (Cmd+Shift+M for Mac)
For Google Meet you send Ctrl+D (Cmd+D for Mac)
For Zoom, you send Alt+A (Cmd+Shift+A for Mac)

Note that unlike Telephony devices, which can return the status of the mute on the computer, there is no way to tell if the software itself is muted.
