I'm looking for a position that will allow me to use more of my technical knowledge and grow beyond personal projects and FOSS contributing. I'm fast-learning, thorough and have solid soft-skills. In code I value simplicity, efficiency and documentation. Besides being into programming since I first laid my hands on a PC, I have years of professional experience as sound engineer and graphic designer under my belt. Standing between the worlds of technology and humanities, I'm the one to bridge the gap.

As my latest occupations aren't formally technical, I have realistic expectations regarding my potential role.

I think television has had a massive effect on the overall, "average" American accent. The stereotypical Boston accent can still be found in Massachusetts, but it isn't nearly as common as you might think.

Similarly, the thick Southern drawl is still a thing in some places, but when I travel it seems that a light twang is more common.

This might also be due to geographic mobility, but I think media is a more likely culprit.
One of my favorite “hacks” is to use the phone number option and put in your local area code + 867-5309 (a number from a famous 80s pop song). You lose out on “savings points” or whatever, but if discounts are offered to card holders you get that discount.
Well, this statement about the extent of the breach by their head of security from yesterday aged really poorly then. Kinda seems irresponsible to me unless I’m misunderstanding something. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37338102
Of course you can find ways to make a big impact at a large tech company.

The criticism still holds that many people don't have a drop of real business impact, have no real desire to, and still make obscene amounts of money.
eg, staying out of other countries.

By definition, encryption (with unique user keys) means you can't infer nor check what the content of the message is. Not without client cooperation, which is what this feature would have been.
Relatively (geographically) small countries with (effectively) a single native language tend to develop the most extreme range of dialects as groups seek to differentiate themselves. The UK is a particularly extreme example of this (but not unique).

I am also from the UK, but have lived in the USA for 34 years. When I first came here for a visit, I remember thinking there was more cultural variation between shellfish fisherman in Louisiana and Maine than there was across all of Europe, even though they had very similar jobs, spoke the same language, drove the same cars, watched the same TV shows (back then, at least). 34 years later, I stand by that assessment, though it has become a lot more nuanced.
Arm signs up big tech firms for IPO at $50B-$55B valuation
Hard to say. My experience is that I tend to get more engagement (and more of a discussion) about topics I post on Mastodon, but Twitter/X has more people to follow/content being posted.

So if you want to chat about tech related topics, you're probably better off on Mastodon. If you want to follow others talking about them, Mastodon is still good, but Twitter arguably has more to see there.
Ask HN: Diving into freelance startup scouting – got any tips?
I've always found myself in the company of founders, absorbing their energy, stories, and the buzz of startup life. It's led me to this new decision: I'm diving into the world of freelance startup scouting.

But before I get too deep, I figured why not tap into the collective brain of HN? Here's a few questions that i would love answered.

1. How can I leverage my existing connections with founders to scout promising startups effectively?

2. Are there specific platforms or tools that scouts rely on to track and evaluate startups?

3.What's the typical compensation structure for freelance scouts? Is it usually commission-based?

4.Any anecdotes, challenges, or pearls of wisdom from those who've walked this path before would be invaluable.

5. What do you think of the design of my landing page? https://midweststartupscout.com/

As always thank you for taking the time to share your insights. Here's to new beginnings!

I have plenty of experience working with SAAS products (designing from scratch or building upon an existing one), managing teams and working remotely as a full stack developer.

I'm a tech lead on a agency now, but I'm looking for an ideal product to work on a longer timeframe.

You completely missed my point. You aren't "the other party" once you start making claims of your own.

"I can assure you that caste had absolutely nothing to do with OPs election..."

If your argument was just "there's not enough evidence to conclude that..." then I would agree with you.

> Why is that important?

Because you're trying to apply a convention from the context of legal disputes to something that isn't a legal dispute. Do you also ask HN commenters to go through a discovery process?
I admit that coroutines can make the code simpler to write and also to understand, they can feel natural in some cases to replace complex state machines.

But I am not in favor of "magical" abstractions, especially anything related to hidden control flow. I don't have much experience with coroutines but I have the intuition that tracking bugs can be nasty.

I don't think anybody changed their mind. Everybody just figured out that going to court wasn't going to do anything other than spend a lot of money on lawyers.

Carlsen probably got about the best he could have expected--Chess.com and Niemann now have gigantic spotlights on them about cheating so they both have to behave better. Niemann gets to go back to being a chess expert. And Chess.com gets people to come back.
This status quo is that a lot of countries want to use the CSAM argument to push privacy-invasive technology (cough UK) like e.g. forcing companies to allow the government to break E2EE to catch CSAM distributors. Apple made this feature while planning to move iCloud Photos to E2EE so that they could argue "look, we still catch x CSAM distributors with n < 0.x% false positive rate, even with E2EE photos. therefore you don't need to pass these laws that break E2EE."

There are certainly sections of the US where English isn’t the main language.

There are a LOT of different cultures, from African American cultures, to southern, to French in Louisiana, to Cuban in Florida, to Mexican in the southwest, etc etc etc.

There were places in Vietnam I could communicate easier than parts of the US.
“Gist” to me implies accuracy, and has a meaning in GitHub, whereas the averaged embedding of 512-character chunks of text is more, uh, impressionistic.

I think this is relatively new phenomena. Most people have seemed to have converged upon the West Coast accent. The same you'd see from Hollywood. I think there are a lot of reasons for this, but one being that if you speak with other accents you may come off as dumb. Same thing seems to happen with Canadians. But when you get the people drunk, they'll tend to slip back into their native accents.

Here's a video that went viral awhile ago because these people are speaking kinda like Boomhauer from King of the Hill: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_OS7hzGxi0o

I am able to understand these people but for others it is unintelligible. I think America is such a melting pot that it also affects our accents. People travel all across the country and thus those accents converge. But certain regions tend to have much thicker ones than others.
It also means significant amounts of congestion in urban areas and has ripple effects. I’ve seen more than a few collisions caused by someone trying to get out of the way of a helpless parallel parker.

More broadly, though, someone who can’t parallel park effectively can’t handle their vehicle well. That manifests in many other ways.
People have definitely asked me all sorts of interesting questions about mine!

Apple doesn’t want to scan period. However if Apple does E2ee icloud, the biggest political issue will be that of CSAM. So in order to reserve CSAM, they came up with this scheme.

Apple doesn’t want to expand their power which is why they don’t scan locally. They weren’t doing it before and they don’t want to offer it now.
I work for a cable company and even we shy away from Moca if we don't have to use it. The problem with Moca is that we do not control the customers wiring on their side of the demarcation point. Who knows how many Gold Radioshack splitters are in those walls.

We also provide a mesh networking solution from plume and it uses a 5ghz backhaul and does a great job. I would recommend it.
>> My philosophy degrees prove quite definitively that I do.

> At best your degree proves that you read carefully at one time

I said degrees, plural, which proves that you aren't reading carefully now.

The rest of your response also proves that. And it mostly ignores the main point, which is political corruption. It doesn't even address the tangential point about how, unlike the political duopoly, the OS duopoly doesn't necessitate business corruption. I hope to quit this futile discussion for real now, except for one more thing:

New Startup in the AI Space Looking for Founding SW Engineers!

Our new AI startup is a novel take on making AI useful and usable for everyone, and is funded by top VCs. It was founded by some of the earliest engineers at YouTube who recently connected again. We are currently looking to hire our first software engineers to work with us in San Francisco.

One might argue that developing proper filters for garbage content is much more beneficial than being sheltered from it.

Of course, you can’t just throw everything at a kid and expect them to figure it out. But kids are smarter than most people on this thread seem to think. With a little guidance, they can develop a sense of what’s what in technology and use it well.
> What do you think they were going to do once the scanning turned up a hit? Access the photos? Well that negates the first statement.

In the whitepaper, the cryptography required that Apple have multiple different photodna
(or whatever the name was for the on-device one) matches before they could unwrap the user's message containing these suspected CSAM photos and to then send them to NCMEC.

> Mass surveillance is never an appropriate solution, let's start with that.

I think we’re well beyond that point now. Whether or not encryption is allowed or not and however private you believe your virtual life to be, in the physical world surveillance is the norm. Your physical location, biometric information, and relationships can and will be monitored and recorded.
You’re complaining that something else is copyable.
Yes, we use https://www.pickleai.com and it's great. You don't have to sit in meetings "just in case"; people can just loop you in afterwards and you can skim the transcript or watch on 2x speed.
A streaming-only portable gaming device.

That's just stupid. I miss the original PSP from 2004/2005. That was a quality device.
That was explained in the original design. Each possible match would count, let’s call it a “point”.

Once you reached a certain threshold (the number was not given) it would trigger an alert in a system at Apple.

Each report contained a bit of data that wasn’t enough to identify someone. Once enough “points” from one account accumulated they’d have enough to identify who you were, which files matched, and presumably the full decryption key.

I believe the plan was the suspect files would be decrypted and compared against the real CSAM signatures. If a close match was found it would be sent to NCMEC for confirmation and law enforcement actions.

The threshold was to prevent false positives from the perceptual hashes, like the Google AI scanning incident. Reportedly nobody has one or two pictures. People with CSAM tend to have a lot, so they’d show up “bright red”. They probably didn’t want to reveal the number so people wouldn’t try to keep only that many pictures on their phone to avoid detection.

One could argue that Americans are programmed to be pro-gun. After all, it’s a constitutional right and a huge part of our culture. I don’t own nor have I ever owned any firearms but I am completely pro-2A and recognize the need for them, especially in certain areas of the country where law enforcement is very sparse.
I keep my smartphone plugged in whenever I'm not traveling away from home for exactly this reason. I know there are Android watches that don't require an Internet connection to a powered on phone, but the Apple Watch has been awesome for reducing my screen usage in general. I'm never tempted to "play" or "consume" on it, except for podcasts or music; it's just a very task-oriented device.
Sure thing man we'll just solve crime lol.
And it would only notify someone for human review if a certain threshold was reached; just having one or two violating images would have tripped the system.
I don’t know that a majority think that way. There is definitely a powerful minority though, well funded by the car lobby.

The dead sea scrolls lasted hundreds of years and yet 99.9% of other thoughts, ideas and songs have been lost. Maybe it's okay that things are forgotten to be rediscovered in new ways. Maybe death and rebirth is what gives the world of knowledge and stories its vitality and to grasp it forever would be to use the gravestone as your storage medium.
> There are too many parts of the continent with zero bus transit where distances between any two points make bicycling infeasible. In those places the alternative to driving is not traveling at all.

Or having someone competent drive you. There isn’t a right to travel anywhere in the world at the speed of your choosing – someone who is unwilling to drive responsibly shouldn’t be allowed to endanger everyone else because they don’t want to find a ride.
It WASN’T the case. Photos are listed on their page of stuff that’s not end to end encrypted.

Since it all went down they added the advanced security option that encrypts photos, messages, and even more.

But that option is opt-in since if you mess it up they can’t help you recover.
I thought I felt the same as you, but I have nieces and nephews who have a variety of "no screen time" to "screen is default" aged between 2 and 10. The online world is very different now to what it was when I explored it.

When I was 15, YouTube was music videos, shitty flash animations, and people doing bargain basement myth busters. Now it's content farms, conspiracy theories, cleverly crafted dopamine hits.

Similarly, online multiplayer games when I was 10-15 were warcraft 3, neverwinter nights and diablo 2. Compare those games to Roblox, Fortnite and co - it's just not the same (and I say this as someone who now works in this space).

I don't have a good answer, but the landscape has changed so wildly in the last decade that I thin it's incredibly naive to think that it's safe to allow unrestricted unmonitored access to devices.

If you ripped The Little Mermaid, redrew every frame to combine it with The Fresh Prince of Bell-Air and moved things around in scenes to make it look like Ariel is Will Smith responding to sit-com dialogue, then it'd be fair use, regardless of how many people you show this new version to.

> almost any house in irvine is a 10 minute walk from a grocery store and a handful of fast casual restaurants.

How many people actually walk in Irvine? Based on the number of highways and lanes through Irvine, you will have a very difficult time convincing me it's different from most suburbs where you leave your house and jump into a car to do anything.

Putting a "grocery store" or a "handful" of restaurants near a home is useless is they don't want to use that store or restaurant. I end up having to drive 15-30 minutes RT to get to a TJ's or ALDI because the Ralph's where I live is incredibly overpriced and has horrible selection of fresh fruits and veggies.

Yep. I wasn't clear about that in my post. Now a 14 year old's parents can "teach" them to drive so they can work their meat packing plant job for a six hour shift on school nights. And don't worry about kids getting injured working dangerous jobs for long hours after school. The state decided to give companies indemnity from child worker injuries!
Especially if they somehow accidentally forget to put batteries in any of them.
Tax payers already pay for police incompetence and malice, but at least now they wouldn't be able to steal property and then use that to pay for new toys, overtime, bonuses, etc and would have to operate inside their actual budget (rather than using theft to supplement their income).

Obviously making police overtime and bonus pools be the source of funds for lawsuit payouts might improve things - the unwillingness of police to actually report illegal behaviour by their coworkers might be reduced when that behaviour lowers their income.
A few notes:

First, there's a lot more to culture than accent. The cultures of the states you passed through are radically different, in ways that wouldn't be obvious to someone passing through.

And even if we take accent alone as evidence of cultural homogeneity, your road trip would likely have only passed through relatively highly populated areas if you stuck to the highways. Feel free to correct me if I'm, but I imagine you didn't take detours out into Appalachia, or head out into the swamps in Florida. Assuming you stuck to the interstate, it's not surprising that you wouldn't have encountered much diversity of accent, because the thick accents tend to reside in isolated areas. Population centers homogenize much faster.

And one more note: Michigan to Florida may sound like a large cross-section of the United States, but you really only passed through what we in the US would consider two distinct regions: the Midwest and the South. You missed New England, which is a hot spot of linguistic diversity in the US, with as many dialects in that small region as in the rest of the country combined.
