All of the top search results were generated yesterday, by design. We should be receiving relevant and accurate content, not content that is automatically regenerated constantly with fake intelligence to appear like ‘something new’ in order to game the search engines. I prefer information that has withstood the test if time, not the next thing that popped into some machine’s head.
Data tampering? In science, you must accept new science coming your way, and update your assumptions and your models. Specially data from medieval times since it was mostly guess work based on indirect records, because there are no temperature records. Specially no records of global temperature.

I'm super disappointed with modules. It's 2023, we've pushed out a new c++ standard since modules were standardised, and they're not usable.

They're not supported in cmake (unless you set CMAKE_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX_MODULE_CMAKE_API to 2182bf5c-ef0d-489a-91da-49dbc3090d2a if you're on the same version of cmake as I am).

My experience is that no IDE's support them properly, so either you need to ifdef out for intellisense, or go back to no tooling support.

The format breaks every update, so you can't distribute precompiled modules.

Last but definitely not least, they're slower than headers.

So, we've got a feature that we started talking about 11 years ago, standardised 3 years ago, not implemented fully, has no build system support, and is a downgrade over the existing solution from every real world use case I've seen. What a mess.
I suppose we have a fallback if things get really bad. It would be better not to rely on that though.
Keep up the great work!

This is the changelog for 20.8.1, but it’s important to point out that that 4 of the CVEs were also patched in 18.18.2.

Shameless promotion time, I have a little utility that can check a node version for CVEs or EOL:

npx node-version-audit@latest --fail-security

Or with docker:

docker run --rm -t lightswitch05/node-version-audit:latest --version=$(node -e "console.log(process.versions.node)")

Some highlights of the tool is zero dependencies and CVEs are sourced directly from NPM changelogs instead of waiting on slow CVE release processes. See the website for more details: https://www.github.developerdan.com/node-version-audit/

The words to describe what you want are "Orthographic reform". There will be no further English orthographic reform. The last successful reform was Webster in the 19th century. Webster didn't make drastic changes, yet he's why Americans and British people spell words differently centuries later.

Changes to orthography are much harder once you have printing and then again once you have mass literacy, because now your Flag Day applies to literally all of the humans who use the affected language, and humans hate change. They'd probably lynch you, except that you can't succeed so they needn't bother.

> I am convinced that while harder, there are more intelligent ways to block these DDoS attacks other than blocking entire geographies.

Sure. Even by default, Cloudflare won't block entire countries. That's a CHOICE some businesses make if the default blocks aren't enough, and they don't have the time or resources to configure more nuanced WAF rules. (OWASP isn't exactly straightforward). Edit: For example, at that job I was talking about, we had different rulesets for different regions... China and Russia were completely banned, Africa was put behind stricter JS security checks and CAPTCHAs but allowed in, Europe had a medium security level (we did occasionally sell there, but very rarely), while the US had entirely custom WAF rules. It just depends on who we wanted to sell to or not.

It goes the other way around, too, you know. I've seen European and Asian sites that geoblock US customers. It's not out of malice, they just don't want to deal with the edge cases. Even if a foreign customer can access your website and buy stuff, dealing with international customs, consumer laws, credit card fraud, wire transfers, etc. can be a pain that's not worth it for smaller merchants. And if the foreign buyer is using a reshipper anyway, well, the reshipper can just buy the whole thing for them and deal with payments, etc. as an intermediary, like how Tenso/BuyFromJapan/JapanRabbit work.

Big companies have proper international presences, but for small local businesses, the amount of effort it takes to support international buyers just isn't worth the profit they typically bring in. Even on eBay, with its built-in international payment and shipping rules, sellers often won't want to bother.

This isn't really a matter of security rules, really, but just business cost/benefit decisions.

Besides, it helps businesses in each country stay local! Do you really want Amazon taking over everywhere...?
I’m pretty confused. Where I’m at they kept saying we were setting records for hottest days ever recorded, and we never broke 90. I remember being a kid and teenager living in the same area and we had many summer days hit triple digits. This was a mild summer for my area, yet it keeps being reported as record breaking high temps and that’s just simply not true. I legit don’t understand why this is being said. Maybe I was blipped in from another universe or something. Would explain a lot of things actually.

> people are dying, so maybe that policy should change

I have a harder time drawing a straight line between the universal service obligation and postal workers dying than you seem to.

I think there are tons of other issues about the USPS that can be fixed and will be more effective than just introducing regional rates for postage (and thus putting a larger burden on poorer people in those regions who need to mail things).

One example of a thing (that was recently maybe fixed) was the USPS’s need to pre-fund retiree health and pension benefits on a scale that I’m not aware applied to any other business or federal entity in the US.

Show HN: "Isaac" AI-native research workspace
This is a Mexican standoff. You aren't willing to write a cover letter, because a machine might be reading it, and we are getting resumes that, on their own, are just a "maybe" along with 100+ other "maybes". On the other side, we have been inundated with "fire and forget" resumes that make it hard: why should we invest time in your resume when you haven't invested time in your application?

In our case, we have 3 out of 10 people at the company reviewing these resumes (CTO, senior sysadmin, full-stack dev). We are committing significant resources to reviewing applications.

If you are going to optimize for submitting to a machine that scores your application, don't be surprised that a human isn't reading your application.

The internet is full of false recipes that can't possibly work, probably increasingly LLM generated themselves. Consider: Persimmon jam. Not possible short of some secret chemical process-- heating reverses the chemical reaction that eliminates the astringency of the unripe persimmon. Yet there are now countless recipes online that will lead you to inedible muck, all effectively bogus hallucinations. Not necessarily machine ones, but also just content farms manually making every conceivable permutation of every existing recipe, the author of those persimmon jam recipes has probably never seen the fruit first hand.

At least if you LLM them on your own you know to be dubious and also you're more likely to use a 70B model (or GPT4) which is a little more likely to get them right, vs whatever garbage the spammer used.

It would probably be pretty interesting for someone to make a concerned effort to digitize every recipe in print prior to 2005 or so-- the relevant threshold time isn't when LLMs came on the scene but when google made low effort content farming so profitable.

It wasn't guaranteed that every recipe printed pre-internet had actually been cooked by anyone, but it was a lot more likely.

The LLM has been trained specifically (sorta) to be good at prose. There’s no parsing or lexical analysis done by the model. It can’t be coded so directly yet in a deterministic and reliable way.

Microcontrollers for low-end hobbyist use, household appliances, or industrial use don't necessarily need state-of-the-art nodes. Price and bulk availability matter. And high-end nodes actually have disadvantages in these areas as their supply is limited, as several car makers quite recently had to learn the hard way.

Also, it doesn't really make sense to use high-end nodes for low-end controllers because the smaller the chip gets, the higher the packaging cost as it gets more difficult to handle. Microcontroller designers already throw in tons of extra features because there is now too much space available.

Finally, it is easier to build up and certify a supply chain for an ancient node than for a high-end node as all the patents have expired by now and the process is much more rugged. In the current political climate, supply chain robustness and auditability might trump pure cost for some applications.

Yeah I would guess that with the ease of streaming, few consumers want to bother with physical media any more. For me, I usually watch a movie once. I’d much rather pay a few dollars to stream it than pay ten times that to buy a disc that will just sit on a shelf.
I'm pretty sure you're wrong. Looking over the part where you imply that the MacOS App Store is the standard way to install Applications on MacOS (opposed to dragging the application to the Applications folder), let's look at what the system you're referring to actually does:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-...

Show me where it says a program installed from the MacOS appstore will be unable to read the user's files unless the user explicitly authorizes it. Here's how it actually works as far as I can determine: The application developer grants their app the entitlements to read user files. The user may see that entitlement before installing the application, but thinks nothing of it because of course the program operates on their files. This does not protect the user against a malicious program being shipped with those entitlements and a plausible pretext to justify it. Example: The user downloads a program to read some kind of unusual file for work, the program grants itself access to ~/Downloads because of course it needs that, then the program instead reads ~/Downloads/your-tax-documents

This system only protects the user if the application was legitimate, refrained from granting itself the relevant entitlements, then got compromised by an attacker.
I’m not making predictions about anything, but part of their job is to prepare for worst-case scenarios.

I tend to think of it as inherently negative.

A road is to connect remote places, it is to be used by cars and they travel fast.

A street is the space in between buildings of a town or city where people go about their business.
Some use cars, preferably most don’t cause they take a lot if space. But the street is for people, the inhabitants of the town.

A stroad is a place where people live in terror and then die.

I like cars, I have one, regularly drive it and like to go fast when on highways and such.
But they are dangerous and terrifying tools in the context of a town/city, especially for kids.
If I’m driving near people, I drive carefully, slowly and the street needs to be designed in such a way that it induces that kind of driving.
I find it particularly scene breaking as well. Stephen King does this a great deal -- he seems inordinately fond of name-dropping electronics.

I don't think authors get paid to include name brands as adverts. I think what you and I are seeing is men of a certain age thinking things are "cool" and then using the name of a product or service to themselves appear "cool" or in-touch.

I personally always feel it has the exact opposite effect for the reason you already said: authors who do this do it so often that it becomes extremely noticeable and scene-breaking.
Fun to read about this. My grandfather worked for Boeing and was the engineer in charge of manufacturing Mosquito tailplanes in Vancouver BC. He developed a system of using steam bladders to add pressure and heat to the glued pieces while it was curing which cut down their manufacturing time.

This x1000. If you think that you're going to do exactly what you were doing before remote work and it's going to work you're going to have a bad time.

>Junk fees are the flip side of consolidation, because they force prices up across the board by breaking the very structure of a market and forcing even honest actors into cheating.

What does "consolidation" have to do with this? A few sentences later the author brings up how consumers are using price comparison sites to choose between multiple vendors, which seems like the exact opposite of consolidation?

>Typically, consumers will buy tickets or hotel rooms based on price comparison sites, which show a list price.

I get what you're saying and I'm not planning on going back to ICE personally but a couple years ago, when I talked to people about it, I'd say, "Yeah it's not as easy but I don't need to charge away from home very often and, when I do, it's not too bad. Plus, some of the cars that are coming out in the future charge much faster."

Now, I can't really say that because it's not nearly as easy to charge away from home now and it can significantly extend your trip times.

I regularly (something close to annually) drive a two day, 1000 mile road trip. The last time I did it was where I encountered this. The way the trip works out as planned is a 10 hour day and an 8 hour day, including charging. More than an hour extra was added both ways in waiting times. That extra time was purely spent waiting for chargers.

I've also had time where I was unable to charge my car at home or just had a particularly busy day where I needed to charge locally. There are 3 fast chargers equidistant to me but all in different directions. I ended up waiting 45 minutes.

The problem is that you can't just go a few blocks away (if not across the street!) to the next station if they are full like with gas stations, you're pretty much stuck waiting where you've gambled on stopping.

I'm not going to recommend my dad deal with that.
