" whose only change in circumstance was three points on a licence."

LOL, so it seems much more likely the new speeding ticket or whatever had more effect than the Tesla on the price rise.

Still maybe something to discuss (getting punished for speeding itself, then by the insurance rise), but a different issue.
DevOps was originally about moving ops into dev teams. At Amazon they just gave devs pagers. Devs hated that. The SRE role seems to have taken over the app-facing side of what system engineers did being an interface between an app and the hardware. A lot of what I see SREs doing is things like app metrics and SLAs which were not what system engineers really did. And the SRE role has been pushed around from being embedded in dev teams, to being their own teams that managed apps to being a centralized DevOps team that looks an awful lot like the old silo'd split between Dev and Ops. I don't know where the actual system engineers went, they probably run Kubernetes clusters at FAANGs and have SRE titles these days.
I don't think it's 10:1 volume, maybe weight.

"Don't need to last more than a few days" well, maybe not, but they will be used for a while absolutely.
Good point - hijacked Chrome extensions are a huge, huge security risk, especially because auto-update is on by-default. It's entirely possible every time you login to LinkedIn some dodgy code in your browser is harvesting your cookies to pass to some bots who then scrape LinkedIn.

Auto-updating extensions, and software in general, is a huge risk that people still seem unconcerned about: popular extension authors get approached by scummy ads/data/"analytics" companies all the time to inject spyware or adware into their software (even me: I have a couple of Chrome extensions with only about 20k regular users and I get an email to Chrome Developer Dashboard address every couple of months, asking me to add a small bit of JS which in-turn loads in other arbitrary JS which could be doing anything to my users' browsers - I'm proud to say that I reply to each and every of those e-mails with feigned interest, as the only morally correct course of action here is to waste their time.
It's honestly staggering to think about how much didn't survive because it was made of wood or clay. And the oral history of our species that is forever lost. Just staggering.
How the First TV Satellite Changed the World – Communications Satellites Part 2 [video]
Home Solar installations in the UK are paying off in about 6-8 years at the moment for an installation that has guarantees for 25 years (except inverter/batteries). They are more than capable of surviving the weather we see in the UK even 1 in 100 year hail storms or hurricanes.

Wind is averaging 30.2% of the yearly power production of the Uk and its growing fast. There are numerous solar arrays going up across the country beyond just the home projects which are currently running at 200k homes a year, its limited by installers not demand. The most important stat really is that 4x the current Uk power demand of Solar projects is currently held up on grid upgrades which will take us through to 2035. That alone with some battery storage will be more than enough. This transition in the Uk is happening and fast and all the economics show its because green power is cheaper than fossil fuels and nuclear power.
So as soon as the lease is up and needs to be renewed, you're proposing exec management is going to be like "Yeah, you know how we had this major brouhaha forcing everyone to RTO that sometimes it felt like the majority of our internal comms were on this topic? We changed our mind, we're all going to WFH from now on."

The mental gymnastics folks go through to support one side or the other in this debate is just mind boggling to me, especially since their are much simpler and more likely pros/cons for both WFH and RTO.
> If Long Covid isn't real

I'm not arguing that long covid isn't real (in fact I explicitly state "To be clear, I'm not doubting that long-covid exists"), just that I'm not convinced that we are "we are so, so fucked" (to quote parent).

Your anecdata is appreciated since I share your lost faith in data about public health.

> prevalence of fatigue and impaired cognition from some other source

I personally think anxiety and unspoken stress regarding climate collapse and other forms of society degradation we're experiencing and seeing accelerate are responsible for a good deal of this. Everyone I know certainly seems more tired, more stressed out, and with fuzzier thinking, but I don't think that is a byproduct of long covid. People can't even openly talk about this seriously, even though nearly everyone is clearly feeling it. There are also plenty of people in aggressive denial about this which makes it even harder to discuss.
Probably nearly no brake dust. EVs are notorious for using so little brakes that they just rust due to lack of use.

I can see that might be it - because it means LinkedIn would be seeing you logging-in from different IP addresses in different geolocations every time (though Apple doesn't let you virtually change-country, I understand in the US it does make it look like you've moved-state).
please tell me more about the help you need to reclaim your rightful throne
Sensory input is arbitrary. You can transmute visual imagery through electrodes to a brain (briefly). It’s an organ that transforms an input (e.g. light or sound) into a signal to the brain. We can make those signals too.

The brain interprets those signals.

Dopamine is not a “pleasure” chemical. It’s more like neural lube that allows your brain to train on specific patterns And motivation setting and frankly a whole bunch of things.
Maybe everyone else on Hacker News are all super geniuses who don’t benefit from it, but I’m a developer about 9 years into my career and have found ChatGPT4 to be absolutely astonishing for helping me learn new skills and improve my productivity. It helped me figure out the design flaws that were causing me considerable difficulties when writing some generics, and we’ve got a new subsystem in an important product up and running that ChatGPT helped me and the other engineers design.

Furthermore I use GitHub Copilot literally every day. The combo of chatGPT for “big picture” discussions and copilot for writing code feels like I iterate faster and learn all sorts of things I wouldn’t dredge up in the documentation, or just wouldn’t feel like I had time for (like using Theories instead of Facts in a unit test and running multiple sets of data through the test, I was vaguely aware of it but just hadn’t done it).

I’ve made amazing art for my entire D&D party. I’ve got at least a few hundred hours racked up on Colab Premium renting A100s and generating pictures and iterating until I get something really really nice in an hour or two. Someone offered me $250 to make him a picture using the pretty standard Stable Diffusion toolset after I showed him some of the stuff I’ve made.

I don’t see how people aren’t absolutely amazed at what these tools can accomplish, and they’re just going to get better. To be clear, I didn’t buy a single crypto coin and thought Web3 was total snake oil (still do), despite my friend literally making millions of dollars off of Bitcoin. But I think this is a radically different situation and the benefits (at least in the short term to someone like me, who is already technical) seem overwhelming and obvious.
> The water would need to be cooled before reuse, which could look like a car radiator and fan.

Dry cooling tower is the word, I believe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower
I think key investors and patent holders in mRNA technology, which had been until recently waz a significant sunk cost, had made some manner of cost-benefit analysis and were satisfied with the results.
It takes 3-5 business days for a letter to get from one desk to mine, that won't work when you want to sign-up for your next impulsive Reddit link click-through.

There is id.me though (a non-governmental company, but effectively endorsed by the US federal gov), but because I highly value pseudonymity I don't want to use my on real, government-linked, identity for frivolous things - and I'm not aware of anyone like id.me nor any other identity-providers offering a "human-attestation-only" service that wouldn't share any actual PII like my real-name.

It's a shame that web-of-trust schemes never took-off (and I can't see how they could, honestly), I gather some schemes had a mode where a group of known people (in good standing) could collectively vouch for an anonymous person/node, but that system could be easily gamed too. Is this an intractible problem?
if you want to structure your company’s monetary activities by aligning them on a straightforward track and making them more flexible, consider outsourcing financial transcription services to a professional, and some providers are one of the best choices.
I agree. Which is why full water recirculation for datacenter cooling should probably be a law.
The best solution I have to fixing this is somewhat complicated but worth it.

First get a prepaid phone number and the card for it using some backup phone you have.

Then port that number to Google voice or some voip text service.

For some reason, when you sign up with google voice or a voip service using their number allocation tool, services know that it's a voip number.

But when you port it, they never seem to find out. I think because the profile tag for the number on the exchange side doesn't change. Someone who knows how phone infrastructure works could probably explain how the backend works.

This is how I get around 2fa using Google voice if the service doesn't want me using a voip line.
Can You Bring a Parachute on a Plane?
It should be considered a human right to buy anything that can plausibly be considered medical.

Allowing a free market in medical products with the only regulation being aimed at preventing misrepresentation or fraud would greatly reduce the negative effects of other ways of paying for healthcare. Nobody could complain about "death panels" or denying terminal patients experimental treatments if there was an almost unrestricted free market operating along side the main system.
And how is he supposed to tell how it will work with your devices? He already said examples of how many devices he has and that it works with, and you did the same for yours. You haven't presented any standard spec and pointed to the part where the spec states the figure that lists the max number of devices. He shared some spec, I am sure you could find some number there.
I think the reason a lot of modern audio is at 48k has more to do with it being accompanied by video, which has independently settled on sampling rates of 48k, 96k, etc.
Looks like big tech, chasing those +25% YoY, is progressing from data theft to data extortion: "hey, you've got a nice decade old profile with us, with lots of valuable connections, it would be sad to have it gone! you have 24 hours to give us more data, otherwise we can't guarantee safety of your profile. have a wonderful day!"

Show HN: Games in 24 Hours with GPT4: Pong, Mario, Hangman, Sudoku, & PuyoPuyo
Hey HN community!

Super excited to unveil GPT Games – a collection of 5 full-fledged arcade games developed in a mere 24 hours, all thanks to the incredible GPT-4! The lineup includes classics and fan-favorites:

Pong: Battle against AI in this timeless classic.
Mario-inspired Platformer: Jump, dodge, and aim for the high score!
Hangman: Test your vocabulary and puzzle-solving prowess.
Sudoku: Challenge your logic with this number puzzle.
PuyoPuyo: Dive into a colorful world of chain reactions and combos.

What's even more amazing is GPT-4's vast range of capabilities. It didn't just assist in coding. We brainstormed together, debugged issues, crafted jokes, and yes, even co-authored this HN post and our GitHub README. Speaking of jokes, why did the AI attend school? To improve its "learning rate"!

The fusion of human creativity with AI's vast capabilities paints a promising picture of the future of development and design. As the lines blur between AI and human-generated content, the horizon of rapid development expands before our eyes.

The future of tech is clear – AI isn't just a tool, it's a collaborator. Today, it's 5 games in a day; tomorrow, who knows?

demo: https://kuczmama.github.io/gpt-games/
github: https://github.com/kuczmama/gpt-games

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, feedback, and any other game ideas you'd love to see brought to life. Here's to the exhilarating future of AI-powered gaming!
I'll shamelessly claim to be an intelligent being, and I'm pretty convinced people telling me "don't do this" actually only incentives me to do "this" for that very reason ...
Not an EE, but my gut says "modular, replaceable" would be essential. As they wear out, have drinks spilled in them, etc. someone with only hand tools should be able to pop them out and slot in new working ones (probably with minimal security bolts, just to keep bored riders with pocket screwdrivers taking them apart).
There’s a fair amount of jargon here I don’t get all, but I think I get the vibe overall, and I appreciate it. This looks like a game I would have played over and over and over again at my buddy’s house when he was the only other kid I knew that had a computer besides myself
in my recent (less than a year ago) experiments both struggled with excel files in different ways (some content missing), so can't be trusted as a drop-in-replacement, at least not for already existing documents.
No garlic and no onions are standard prescriptions for hindu priestly folk. Orthodox folks follow it religiously. Many these days follow it only in festivals and other holy days.

Also, like sibling comment says, jainism prescribes avoiding everything growing underground and you can ask for jain food if a place provides it. Some airlines make special affordances and have a jain meal option you can try.
Ligatures are hard to use on a U.S. keyboard layout (EDIT: Even on French keyboard layouts, near as I can tell). I don't know how to type them anyways. I use a Unicode character picker if I ever really need them, and it's so rare. No one will fail to understand if I write oeufs, and I'm not in French elementary school where super-pedantic teachers might get angry if I don't get that right.
Russian state has used 4chan as an influence operation to seed social media since around 2008, supporting isolationist Republicans and extreme views that cause civil strife and weakening of a unified US. Internet Research Agency is the big one but Russia has done this since the war they had with Georgia.

Maybe this is true but I’m not convinced “more degrees of freedom” is a useful metric here. It’s not as simple as three bullet points - there is an entire infrastructure that must be built up around cars and that infrastructure has serious problems of cost and land use.

But if you like bullet points, cars are:

a) expensive to operate

b) dangerous to pedestrians

c) more polluting than trains or bicycles

Now I don’t actually think this form of argument is comprehensive but you see that we can easily pull out pluses and negatives without taking a holistic view.
That's a silly answer for a silly claim, if I really need a clarification.
Tic-80 is what you are looking for.
I'm embarrassed to admit this but I created a fake LinkedIn account of a woman I used to rope in men for sales calls. I "friended" probably 200 odd linked in open networkers over the course of a week and then would flirt with guys using my catfish account.

Those guys would enevitably get sappy and I would rope them onto a sales call with me as a bait and switch. I hated doing sales as well as myself and got out of it in a year.

Making a fake burner linked in was trivial.
I love it, but it’s not an answer to normal people yet. The 0.01% of us who know and understand encryption, cool. But getting ready for the main world? Bitlocker lets people click a button and walk away. Administrators make a few small changes and have the whole fleet bitlockered with centrally managed recovery keys should anyone have an issue. Does Veracrypt offer better security? Yes. Would I be thrilled to roll it to my clients? Yes. Would it be an absolute nightmare to deploy and manage across an organization? Yes.

I’m sad because this is great and the answer to much but stands no chance when you move past the “single user who is IT literate” user group.
What exactly is mass from a Higgs boson point of view? I mean my layman definition is mass is the amount of matter, but that doesn’t seem like the thing that the Higgs boson is involved in
Yeah, the "oh well, it's evaporated already, so no getting it back without spending even more energy" tack of the post that you're responding to to is insane. That's not how water cooling works!
How much cheaper than using a closed loop system can it really be? We've run cars on closed loop liquid cooling for decades and it would seem outside of the slight additional cost of a heat exchanger, cost should be pretty even initially and lower in the long run.
Why an E-6B Doomsday Plane Was Flying Tight Circles Off the Jersey Shore (2019)
Good point. I checked my private relay settings in iOS iCloud. It is set as “maintain general location” along with a description “ Maintain your general location to receive localized content, or enhance your privacy by using a broader IP address based on your country and time zone.
Safari Private Browsing always uses an IP location from your country and time zone.”
My approach has been, gradually, to put everything into LLCs and trusts. Mailing address is one of the storefront vendors. Two real phone numbers and a couple VOIP numbers. I mostly use Signal for people I want to speak with.

I don't yet have a good screen of the address on my driver license, as I get some perks where I live and want to keep that for now. I am using passport more domestically for ID because it does not have an address.

Basically, don't put any property or services in your name, and all mail uses the storefront address. I suppose rich folks have wealth management person at bank who recommends an attorney for these schemes. It wouldn't scale at reasonable price point to make a service for this, though I have considered it. Most people "don't have anything to hide" so they will not see value in such a service. If people won't opt out of TSA's voluntary full body scans, they won't be interested in privacy.

You can't screen everything overnight without help, so start small like put a car in a trust or LLC with address somewhere else.

The downside, or upside?, is that on paper you will have nothing. Definite upside is keeping controlling paperwork straight and replicated to people I trust.
Imagine using machine learning to create shadow profiles of users. You don't need to focus so much on the content of their messages directly, but rather you score the replies that come after a user's message.

When a user's shadow profile reveals them to be a conflict amplifier, or one who responds to other amplifiers, then the usage of the site is throttled subtly for them in a way that discourages engagement. For example you could lock the reply component for 10 seconds on page load, or don't show replies that are less than 90 seconds old, and other small nuances.

All of this is to say, I bet there is a technological solution, contrary to the author's assertions.

Totally bollocks.

This is pure fud. Nothing else.

AGPL DOES NOT restrict ability to be used internally.
Agpl does NOT restrict selling software as it is.

Agpl does not restrict using agpl software with proprietary software.

Only thing that agpl prevent is, IF YOU MODIFY AGPL SOFTWARE, YOU HAVE TO GIVE SOURCE CODE TO USERS.
Your modifications. Thats it.

AGPL DOES NOT MANDATE upstreaming modifications. You can do it or you cannot. Your choice. Others can choose to upstream or fork or Downstream your modifications

What you are confusing with is the fud google spreads about agpl. They dont touch it because if they modify code they have to release it but they don't for reasons known to them.

Again, AGPL is NOT viral like SSPL which is like AGPL but on steroids.

That's an interesting take that seems so obvious now that you've said it. I've spent my whole life in single family homes and never quite "got" the "go work in a cafe" and similar stuff. Seems like a pretty rich tapestry of possible experiences to miss out on. Huh. Will be chewing on that for a while.
Oh, you are saying something that is used productively is waste.

Google Judge Told Android Contracts Block Upstart Search App
The context is some unknown student applying to a department, which could easily be faked (ideal phishing target). PDF is a security nightmare, and while it's gotten better with e.g. sandboxed browser viewers, it still requires trust.

People need to be able to open PDF documents, but unless there's a prior professional or personal relationship, or a stable and identifiable corporate entity involved, it's a bad idea. That obviously doesn't apply to PDFs you go out and find from sources you trust.

In the case I'm referring to, the solution is to have a standard application process, usually involving a nominal fee. That adds intermediaries, as well as some standardization for fairness sake.
