What's the point.

Yeah, these kinds of "features" are horribly invasive and anti-consumer, but so, so, so many people just could not give less of a shit as long as they can hit up Facebook or YouTube or whatever work requires them to visit.

It's not like the early 00s when Firefox rose to dominance because IE sucked so badly in comparison.

Chrome is not only the best and "most-compliant" web browser (isn't it awesome to be compliant with standards you created?), but it is also what most of the web tests against by default and, consequently, works the best with. Not that this even matters, really; most web traffic is shifting to the apps, which have free-reign to track everything you do.

Theoretically, app privacy scorecards should dampen this, but it's all too easy to tap "OK" to the "can I use your contacts, your mic, your camera and every sensor and contact I can get away with?"

I was not expecting to become a curmudgeon at 35, but between this, WEI, Cloudflare becoming the Internet's global firewall, and the Great Enshittification of Reddit, Twitter, and others, all of this bums me out. Anyone got a positive counterpoint?

I am not sure why I upvoted this. Perhaps because I have dealt with C, C++, Java, JavaScript and some Python. I know a smattering of French, German, Dutch, Japanese and Czech. So perhaps that too. Or perhaps because of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis.
I guess they would have us believe that adding disk space, when necessary, is also done "just-in-time" and wasn't done "just-in-time" enough.

Recently I’ve been involved in discussions about using an LLM to generate JSON according to a schema, as in OpenAI’s function calling or Jsonformer-LLMs do okay for generating code in mainstream languages like SQL or Python, but what if you have some proprietary query language? Maybe have a JSON schema for the AST, have the LLM generate JSON conforming to that schema, then serialise the JSON to the proprietary query language syntax?

And it makes me think - what if one used an LLM to generate or evaluate assertions in a Cyc-style ontology language? And that might be a bridge between the logic/ontology approach and the statistical/neural approach
It directly relates to the recent ETL (Extract - Transform - Load) thread patterns.

Because they wouldn't need to shut down factories if they had bigger stock of parts on site.
I did not try it, but at first glance it does not seem to be especially low effort to me.

It’s a niche thing and if it’s well implemented the price seems reasonable to me.
They did name FB Messenger and WhatsApp so it sounds correct for the EU.
I think you can achieve the same "compression" in other latin languages. In portuguese, you may be able to translate this as "despedira-se demais" or "despediu-se demais" (despediu-se = she said goodbye, despedira-se = pluperfect form of she said goodbye, demais = too many times).
This makes me curious what the HN consensus is about reasonable salary ranges along the east coast.
Oh yes! It touches language and compression, both dear subjects to programmers.

If the accepted answer stands, that's remarkable. I wonder how one could measure a language efficiency. Maybe syllable count ? But one would need a sort of assembly to translate to and verify that a sentence computes the intended information.
This is a Linux problem not a SBCL one. You could move your SBCL binary between different versions of a BSD variant.
Pool of mirrors is usually the safer way, yes.

If and only if you a. Have full, on-site backups b. Are fairly sure of your abilities and monitoring then I can suggest RAIDZ1. I have a pool of 3x3 drives, which ships its snapshots a few U down in my rack to the backup target that wakes up daily, and has a pool of 3x4 drives, also in RAIDZ1.

In the event that I suffer a drive failure in my NAS, my plan of action would be to immediately start up the backup, ingest snapshots, and then replace the drive. That should minimize the chance of a 2nd drive failure during resilvering destroying my data.

Truly important data, of course, has off-site as well.

This is the thing that does the JIT. The JIT broke. That's why they mention JIT.

That's the biggest downside of modern AI, and I fear the web will only get worse because of it. If we can't figure out how to patch CAPTCHAs against bots, remote attestation will become the norm.

> Do we measure trust (upon which all business is based)?

Yes, absolutely. It's difficult to do this in customer surveys because you need a motivation for the customer to engage in a feedback process (e.g. a product review, or a questionnaire after a support call), and then the feedback is mostly about that specific event. But focus group research will absolutely try to measure trust either implicitly (e.g. from sentiment analysis) or using explicit questions.

I also know of at least one company that measures (or at least, tries to measure) "leadership trust" among their employees using surveys.
This is utter nonsense. We have the capability to do both, we can both work to stop private companies from tracking us, as well as work to stop our governments snooping on us. Framing it as if we had to choose one or the other is misleading.
> Why is the EU regulating privacy topics to the point were we no longer have access to certain social media products, while they are also pushing for backdoors into private messengers?

Backdoors are from national governments (Macron in France, Sunak in UK). Privacy stuff is usually from the EU parliament, elected by people proportionally but cannot propose laws, only vote on them.
No, it is shameful that US allows such huge monopolies in the first place. These should not exist at all and should be broken up before becoming so huge.
Edit Grossman, who elevated the art of translation, dies at 87
I realise it's from song lyrics so doesn't have to make sense but this instinctively scans as poor grammar to me.

Shouldn't it be "she'd" past tense?

Otherwise it's just someone saying "goodbye too many times before" and someone who'd previously said "goodbye" more than is acceptable.

...I'm almost certainly overthinking this but I'd wager that tense error is important when translating to Latin.

It's like reading XML where someone's left out a closing tag. :P
As we move to more abstract systems I wonder how well we (as in companies) are keeping basic systems management capabilities in place at a personnel level.

At $DAY_JOB we recently scuttled most development efforts for a week for our teams. Our nightly backup job that sanitizes PHI ballooned overtime to, say, 20GB+1Byte and ran out of disk space. Because we are running Kubernetes on Fargate we don’t need a full time operations guy, right?

Commence the company (me) scrambling to learn how to use a Peristent Volume and Peristent Volume Claim because a career programmer should be able to perform systems administration takes because DevOps has the word “Dev” in it, right?

So we lost a week of productivity to disk space, but in reality we lost a week to poor personnel and capabilities.
That's entirely a you problem.
For french speakers, and they have some of their content in English, and automated translation is always possible:

Medipart is one of the only medias in France (there is only 1 other I can think of) that is NOT owned by private interests, a network, a billionaire, or many billionaires or millionaires.
It is funded by its subscribers
And above all else, it does investigative journalism which actually led MANY times ministers and other powerful people to justice.

Never ever Mediapart has been wrong so far when building a case against a corrupted official. Every time French justice system followed the same conclusion as Medipart.

When you say don't open, what do you mean? Sometimes companies configure their SSL cert in only safari and chrome, so you might be able to just add it to Firefox's store.

It could be that the proxy is set up as a non-system proxy too, so you could try checking Chrome's configured proxy and setting it in settings.
Cool!

I feel like there should be something like a bookmarklet store, similar to the extensions, or userscripts, right?
> "Wow, you didn't already know that every phone is tapped?..."

Not sure I'd call it psy-op.

When it became feasible for the NSA to essentially tap every phone in the U.S. I think most of us just presume that they will do just that.

Historically, it's what those with power will do — exercise it.

And for all number of examples in history we are not naive enough to think that their saying they're not doing it (are no longer doing it) means nothing.
But you dilute resources and focus.
Agreed. I'd put the emphasis on avoiding dwelling and maximizing detailed system awareness with a bias towards doing something.
One could also say that French is 'rather different', not better or more clear. Let alone superior (though I do not know where that claim came from).
I was responsible for some dev ops stuff at a state's health department and one of the more infuriating things about working at that place was that it was like pulling teeth getting more storage allocated. Our backups would be running out of disk and they'd allocate me 50 or 100 GB at a time. I'm sure someone Toyototian was yelling that this was going to happen for the past 6 months.

It sounds like your friends collectively invested $100k and now whats left is 1% of that. Maybe spend the $1000 on a pity party - I'm being serious - throw a dinner party inviting your investors, explain what happened and that all that's left is the meal and celebrate what you learned along the way. Maybe to soften the news have an agreement drawn up that the code/product would be in "escrow" for you and your co-founder and if you spin it back up again/pivot they're still "in".

Curious what business sector your SaaS was in that it was impacted by the pandemic.
The two-word phrase that was offered in the answer (nimium saepe) was actually not a full answer, it was only for "too many times". The answer actually did not, well.. answer the actual question.
you can prevent feeding the doctored image into the sensor if the camera also senses depth, and only signs the image and depth information together. this is how they prevent a photo from unlocking face id on a phone
Most bugs are pretty easy to solve once you know they're there.

It's all well and good to say that software just shouldn't have bugs, but that's pretty much an unsolved problem at this point. The NATS system has a relatively good track record, and even companies with exemplary engineering standards have occasionally had large system failures.

Spotify arguably would have qualified if they had included an "online music service" category alongside "online video service" (where YouTube was designated). The fact that this was left out is interesting.
Doesn’t adding the ‘d change it from past tense to passive voice past tense?
I think that’s a really good point.

Especially when you have technologies like Firebase or something like that where you might be interacting with the database essentially from your front end code.

That can end up leaving a big gap between what you are visually exposing and what you’re actually exposing.

I am not saying that this is low effort either, the website itself probably took some time. I am saying that a lot of this effort is pointless.

To be clear, not because the developer is bad (I did not try it outside of the website demo), but because of the state of software development imposing pointless complexity.

> but there needs to be consent from the company being probed for vulnerabilities or else I find it hard to consider it legitimate research, regardless of intent.

The reality of netsec has not born out this model. In practice, you have two broad categories of companies:

- Ones that already have a culture of security, run pentests, have bug bounties, deploy patches, etc. These aren't the ones exacerbating the botnet-of-things writ large.

- Ones that frankly don't give a damn. Either they say "we don't need security research, it's secure enough", or they say they don't want it divulging trade secrets, or any of myriad excuses. No matter what, they don't consent to security research, even if they desperately need it.

The latter often persist even after multiple wake-up calls from black hat breaches. We have in front of us a golden opportunity for distributed, decentralized security research - white and gray hats basically do this for free. Instead we punish them, while the real problem stays far out of reach of the short arm of cyberlaw. Documenting the netsec research is a pretty clear indicator of intent ^1.

Honestly at this point, I don't think we can afford to not go this route. We should give amnesty to researchers who clearly aren't causing any damage, instead of throwing the book at them, which sadly is usually the case.

1 - yes I realize this gives a potential out to black hats. I'm fine with that. There ought to be enough evidence of actual damage to tell the real criminals apart.

It is quite easy. Just apply the income = productivity hypothesis that economists seem to love.

The seasons are already 5-25% messed up. The winter weather season is a week(?) shorter on either end in the last 50 years, so in living memory winter has shrunk by quite a bit. Current kids think today's messed up weather patterns and bad forecasts are normal, and it's only going to get worse.

Bad forecasts: it seems to me that the 24-36 hour weather forecasts have been shifting more dramatically than I remember in the past.

The wait times and socialised system are close to orthogonal. In the UK, 15 years ago, I could get a new doctor and an appointment the same week after I moved. Apparently the wait time is way higher now, with the UK aiming for a more privatised approach.

In Australia, in a semi-socialised system I can usually get an appointment the same week, and often the same day it needed. On the other hand I needed to wait 4 months for a specialist.

So yeah, the relation between those things is not that simple.
The devil is in the details.
So I am a bit careful making a statement here without trying to implement it myself first. Could be super simple, but maybe not.
I honestly don't know but to me it sounds like present tense.

I don't think that the public is very good at paying attention to two things at the same time.

I think that the "ad targeting privacy" discussion is a borderline red herring that is focusing the debate away from what matters. Giving the public a feeling that they achieved something, while violating privacy through the backdoor.

Or your investments fail, the USSR fell very quickly risking pensions people relied on, the roman empire fell. US investments could too; I mean they kinda did in the early 1900's, recovery from that took time.

I'm not saying any of these things are likely to happen (they really aren't and I'd be supprised if any did in the next 100 years). But they could so any amount of security money offers is limited and not certain.

I suppose it depends if you would equate security and certainty to the same thing? I certainly did but wouldn't now. I wager you don't since you said 99% not 100%.
