One alternative is to use public CAs on your private networks. I've been working on tooling for this at getlocalcert [1]. Side stepping the need to add a trust root makes the public on private approach a net win for some networks. I honestly wasn't expecting Android to block private CAs, but I guess here we are.

> Fact: it's the current scientific consensus of the AI field.

You mean that ai can just go on its own and kill people? Certainly that can happen, if people are silly enough to give it such "power". Which goes back to what I said about using tools in bad ways. But some folks take it literarily, as ai is sentient and not a piece of software, and it will somehow make itself escape.

Take computer viruses. They replicate, yet they are not treated like biological viruses. When they first appeared, the less sofisticated folks, did take ad literam. And that's where the issue arises. People take the "intelligence" in ai ad literam, along with the personification of this type of software. And the pushers of this notion need to take a break and retire early while they have some dignity left. But this doesn't contradict the consensus that yes, it can be used for negative outcomes, as can a kitchen towel or a flower.
> Anyway, I hope that Android becoming more and more user-hostile (and more specifically in this case power-user-hostile) will move more and more people to custom ROMs.

What about people who kinda gave up tinkering with custom ROMs because the state of the stuff that matters (root checks by your mandatory banking app, some Google stuff) is either not documented (good luck finding an overlap of "phone model" + "your local bank app" + custom ROM" as a tested and known-good thing).

I'm all for freedom and choice, but I don't think unless you're willing to go through a couple of phones, a couple of days of work, or are a specialist in the first place, this is a reasonable way of action for average phone users. I know you said "power users", but I'm a power user with computers, my phones could be a lot dumber if I had my way - but it won't happen if we have to increasingly use them as MFA devices or be at the whim of corporations with a better lever (i.e. banks, I'm not changing my bank account 3 times until I find one with an app that works on a rooted phone...)
Ah, that’s neat, thank you for the input! We’re actually using a homegrown (word2vec descendant) model to build document vectors - it works well on its own, but implementing a search engine on top efficiently has proven to be futile.

I still shoot a lot on film. I shoot a lot for publication and because of that, I really can't edit individual photos prior to using them, so a lot of what I do to get the 'look' I want comes down to film stock and how I use it.

Honestly, it ends up being a lot more time efficient than fiddling around with images in Photoshop or Lightroom. :)

Yes, definitely more expensive than digital, but you can get some pretty nice film cameras for next to no money, which is nice.

In the US it is very difficult, due to low density, road design, and use patterns, to make transit service, especially bus lines, both economical and pleasant to use at rush hour. AVs can enable surge capacity for bus service, and a mix of vehicle sizes. It can enable smooth transfers, more lines with more stops, and higher frequency of service in a lot of places that have really bad mass transit. Guangzhou already has a few autonomous bus lines. Compared to the cost of a bus, a conservative approach to an AV sensor suite is cheap.
The same is true on Android for processes with system capabilities/root, I believe, because they can bind sockets to a specific interface and bypass the VPN you use.

15 minutes vs. 18 minutes - that's roughly a 17% pay cut for the driver, plus assumption of liability (for theft). I'll guess that ~100% of folks here on HN would feel themselves blatantly screwed over if they were on the receiving end of that deal.
I'm not disagreeing with what you just wrote, but I am pointing out plagiarism and copyright violations are not the same thing. Any similarity is coincidental.

Consider a film student who uses a modern pop song without permission in their student film, which they credit in the movie credits. No plagiarism has occurred-- but they did violate the copyright of the band's publisher.

Consider a student who finds an essay written in 1893 and passes the words in the essay off as their own- plagiarism has occurred but there is no copyright violation as works from 1893 are public domain.

Calling it circumvention presupposes that the government is the defacto controller of currency. The position is already heavily biased.

The standard means of currency was historically just rare materials with natural scarcity. I could easily say that government backed currencies are themselves a “circumvention” of trading scarce elements.

Actual results from paper ballots in French elections are in around an hour or two after voting closes. Yes, it relies on volunteers counting and on people watching but it’s much more effective than anything that would involve machine. You can literally watch your ballot box all day if you’re suspicious.

Why sell MacBooks for $699 when you can sell them for $1200?

Now they have probably hit the limit for the number of $1200 laptops they can sell, so probably want to broaden their market position (being careful not to cannibalise the number of $1200 laptops they are selling).

Bit of a difference between "global lockdowns can happen" and "we can all sense the impending global lockdown coming". Could a lockdown happen again? Sure, if there were another pandemic. But "we can all sense the impending global lockdown coming" is ridiculous new-world-order conspiracy bullshit.

The only surprising or novel thing about the "global lockdowns" of 2020 was the degree of international cooperation on the matter, and even that - positive though it was - left a lot to be desired. It certainly didn't signify any kind of ominous freedom-hating shadow government. Pandemic-driven quarantines, crisis-driven restrictions on movement etc are hardly unprecedented in the 20th century. "Basic human freedoms" are subject to restriction when lives are at stake, that's just a fact of life. Londoners in 1940 weren't even allowed to turn the light on.
> 2. Why are 90% of emacs frameworks trying to make it into vi??

Idk, I can navigate in Emacs using native bindings, though I like vi modal editing more, it just feels more natural when working with text. Also I can't say about 90%, but in Doom Emacs you can easily switch between native and vi bindings (even on the fly, via the keyboard chord), it's not forced in any way.

What do you do when the list it wrong? (eg, not transformed/serialized/sanitized/whatever)

Sometimes, manual tests show it's not the expected/correct data from the first run;
or later someone adds a line of code (adds a period to a random row). The test runs happy, even thought the data is now incorrect/unexpected.

Moving something that can be automated with mocks, to manual processes, is a bad tradeoff.
Ask HN: How to do security 2FA & OOW for a person with dementia?
Is this kind of security impossible?

I'm helping relatives who have dementia, and I'm hitting blockers with security challenges related to two-factor authentication (2FA), multi-factor-authentication (MFA), and out-of-wallet (OOW) questions.

These people have all given up their mobile phones meaning there's no phone number, and can't remember their online passwords, and are unable to understand banking challenge questions such as "Which of these four streets are near where you used to live?".

Example: the insurance company's website needs to send the person a SMS text to verify their sign in, and needs to send an email password reset link, then needs the person to answer their personal security questions.

I have a Power Of Attorney (POA), so this isn't a legal question. So far, most companies have accepted the POA within a week or so, yet it doesn't help with the ongoing processes of online sign in, or password reset, etc.

Is this an impossible challenge? Or are there hacks, or workarounds, or some kind of delegation of authority process that people in the know use for this kind of help?

> They say this is to ensure the security of your device that logs into your bank or whatever, but I guarantee that my LineageOS updated this week is more secure than my stock Google ROM that got its last update 3 years ago

Those are two entirely different threat models. The second clause of your sentence is about vulnerability to exploits, something that Lineage or other ROMs are at least better positioned to do than a vendor that has EOLed the device (though the amount of binary junk required by those distros puts a pretty firm cap on that promise -- they can only fix what they can patch!).

The first clause talks about the need for back end service providers to be sure that no entity is interposted between them and their users/customers. It's a desire that no extra app can sit there and sniff interaction or prompt for passwords/tokens/secrets/etc... Third party open ROMs not only fail to address this need, they actively hurt. You can trivially make a "We're Totally Your Bank We Swear" app and deploy it to a LineageOS phone that steals the money from any account that authenticates with it.

Is that a "good" security model or a "bad" one? There are arguments to be had. But prompt application of bug patches isn't one of them.
Making your own drink at a restaurant is not really an option. Human bartenders are hit and miss in terms of quality and consistency, but there's another pressure in human bartending that I wonder if would not be present with metered robots that account for usage and wastage at the level of individual drinks rather than at the level of a work shift. It seems pretty commonplace that liquor bottles are weighed before and after a shift, to measure theft and wastage, so they can figure out who may be giving out free drinks, or taking liquor, etc. This means if a bartender makes a mistake earlier in a shift, they may try to shortchange people later in the same shift so their weights come back okay at the end of the shift, but this is accomplished by overcharging the later customers. I would hope with a robot bartender that I would get exactly what I paid for each time.
i understand why things are that way, but it is exactly the legal situation that makes me think it should be otherwise. when adopting you are giving parents the full responsibility to raise the children as they see fit. so obviously they should be capable, but that is all that is needed, just as if they had kids of their own.

for foster children the state retains a continuous responsibility for these children, and foster parents need to be able to go along with that.

i think part of the reason why it is otherwise is because it is easier to take foster children away, so if a mistake was made, it can be undone, or so the thinking goes, but i actually think that is wrong.

the most suffering foster children experience comes from changing families all to frequently. it hurts their ability to form trusting relationships. the adopted kids will be fine even if the parents make a mistake here or there, but the foster kids who are moved to another family because the foster parents made that same mistake have their world shattered.

The only thing people are missing here is that it's not just about the hardware, it's about Chrome in particular.

Our school system "requires" the use of the Chrome browser because of the third-party plugins that only support Chrome. The school board thinks the best way to do that is... of course... to buy Chromebooks.

They're awful. Terribly slow, constantly breaking, and a total disaster. I'd love to see MacBooks come into use here, but sadly it's not just about the hardware. The school board has to stop being lured by shitty software vendors.

You can install your own CA certificate in the user certificate store, and it will be trusted by Chrome and any other app which opts into user-installed CAs, which should include email and calendar apps.

What is unlikely to work is installing your own CA and using it to intercept traffic between apps and the app-makers' servers. That sucks - you should be able to inspect what your own device is doing - but your use case of using a private PKI for your self-hosted software is definitely supported.

Just because you decided to call it a "tool" (rather than for example a really powerful optimization process) and would prefer to think of it as a tool does not constrain what it might do. It's going to do what it is going to do regardless of what word you use to describe it. I'd rather not stake my life on the argument that "well, it's fair to call it a tool, and so far in history nothing called a tool has ever tried to cause human extinction."

There’s no point here; for hygiene reasons you are required to wear clothes close to the body in public swimming pools. As I wrote in another comment, this is a law from 1981, while the burkini was only invented in 2004. You are free to wear religious clothing (some do), but it has to respect the basic hygiene measures.
Given how expensive it is to train, my impression is that the world in 2023 generally cannot afford to experiment with custom trained models and only well-funded organizations can within a range of acceptability. The risk of spending $20MM on training a large model that doesn't produce the desired outcome is going to blow back far worse than engineering failing to deliver features on time. How are teams/orgs approaching model training risk management, as in managing the risk that a model fails to deliver after spending 20 Million on training?

Next thoughts are how to "SETI model training", distributing compute to idle resources around the world.

In general (not you specifically) people don't always have a ton of sympathy for CS agents, so I just like to offer reminders that what they do is tough.

CS agents are literally there so the rest of the company can avoid dealing with customers. If that means worse results for the customer then ire at the support agent makes sense. Don't take a job making the world worse if you don't like beeing blamed for that. Is the company forcing to make peoples life worse rather than better? Quit.
