I was curious how many bogus security reports big open source projects have. If you go to https://hackerone.com/curl/hacktivity and scroll down to ones marked as "Not-applicable" you can find some additional examples. No other LLM hallucinations, but some pretty poorly-thought out "bugs".
I don't think any of those are foreign to C since:

- All of them were designed with C in mind, so much so that in many cases the C implementation of those features was the first implementation of them. The first SMPs were programmed in C with C APIs. The first time I did atomics was in C. When vector APIs are introduced, they're usually exposed to C first. Etc.

- All of those features fit more elegantly into C than any other language. C runs on GPUs so naturally while most other languages don't run on GPUs at all. So, the things you list are examples of features that are more native to C than they are foreign.

> It finds music I like, regardless of musician effort.

This isn't really true...musicians must put forth a ton of effort just to be part of the songs that are recommended to you. Spotify favors and rewards those who promote their music on other platforms, since it scours the web for articles mentioning your name and people posting about you on social media in order to determine how far up in the "rankings" you should be when someone asks for a similar sounding song.

LinkedIn after 2020: it's the new proctologist as a service that nobody wants.
But again -- the problem cars were solving haven't gone away. We still need a way to get 1-to-N people and cargo from point A to point B.

Improvements in cars over the last forty years: anti-lock brakes and airbags are now standard. Backup cameras are now standard. Cars can be fully electric now, and there is coast-to-coast charging infrastructure.

The biggest change in my use of a car -- besides being able to charge it at home and not care about the price of gas -- comes from the team-up between cars and mobile phones.

I no longer care about directions. My friends don't need to tell me about the red barn or the corner where the big tree used to be when I want to go visit them. I don't need to call AAA and request a map with directions to the antique mall in Binghamton. I don't need to backtrack to try figure out why I'm now in the wrong state.

I just sit down in my car, it pairs with the phone in my pocket, and I say "directions to the Papa John's on Plank Street", and turn by turn directions pop up on the car's display. If I'm driving around somewhere, take a wrong turn and get lost, the directions I'm following will update or I can request new directions home.

Sure, it might be the cell phone that enables it, but it makes a huge difference in how I use a car versus 40 (well, 10-20) years ago.

Modular/modulus (and also twos complement) is a natural feature of most CPUs. It comes natural by the way logic counters work in hardware. C enforces that by not touching that logic. Rust is the same in that respect. Python on the other hand treats integers as objects with a virtually unlimited amount of digits. That said, float/double precision and logic is still CPU dependent and is used as-is for most languages.

I think the reason that it's so philosophical, and the reason that it mentions Deleuze and Guattari specifically, is due to their emphasis on "the virtual," and in the context of Ghost in the Shell, this "virtual" is explored conceptually, especially as it relates to systems of control, such as cybernetics.

Edit:

> Like Kant, Deleuze considers traditional notions of space and time as unifying forms imposed by the subject. He, therefore, concludes that pure difference is non-spatiotemporal; it is an idea, what Deleuze calls "the virtual". (The coinage refers to Proust's definition of what is constant in both the past and the present: "real without being actual, ideal without being abstract.") While Deleuze's virtual ideas superficially resemble Plato's forms and Kant's ideas of pure reason, they are not originals or models, nor do they transcend possible experience; instead they are the conditions of actual experience, the internal difference in itself. "The concept they [the conditions] form is identical to its object." A Deleuzean idea or concept of difference is therefore not a wraith-like abstraction of an experienced thing, it is a real system of differential relations that creates actual spaces, times, and sensations.[0]

> Cybernetics: a reactionary pseudoscience that appeared in the U.S.A. after World War II and also spread through other capitalist countries. Cybernetics clearly reflects one of the basic features of the bourgeois worldview—its inhumanity, striving to transform workers into an extension of the machine, into a tool of production, and an instrument of war. At the same time, for cybernetics an imperialistic utopia is characteristic—replacing living, thinking man, fighting for his interests, by a machine, both in industry and in war. The instigators of a new world war use cybernetics in their dirty, practical affairs.[1][2]

Meatspace isn’t going to work that well going forward because of wfh making physical proximity irrelevant. I’m contemplating a move to a company located in NYC but I live in Dallas (it’s wfh obviously). I wouldn’t have been able to make that relationship in meatspace as I’d never even heard of the company before let alone shook the hands of someone who worked there.
I'm skeptical that if you ask a good question and the "duplicate"is so old that it's not relevant anymore that your question would be closed.

I'm not sure we can say this. There are tradeoffs when you can't make assumptions about your end user. Text that is comfortably large for someone with bad eyesight might not allow enough text for someone with better eyesight. Volumes for someone with poor hearing might be painful for someone with better hearing, etc. A company like Apple will always err towards the demo that isn't likely on a fixed income.

Honestly, if it were just people bragging about how they took a 3 hour class and got a useless certification, I don't think it would bother me. LinkedIn markets itself as a glorified resume, and it's pretty common for people to fluff up their meaningless certs.

I just feel like there should be somewhat of a boundary between personal and professional life. There are things I would say to my friends that I wouldn't tell anyone in charge of giving me money, at least not directly, and I feel like LinkedIn (purposefully or otherwise) is actively trying to erode that boundary. It's horrible.

This is a useful classification. With the benefit of hindsight--and threading--it would be nice if async signals could just go away, since the kernel can send a notification message to the application over a file descriptor (see man signalfd(2)) and the application can have a dedicated thread to deal with it at its leisure. That leaves the synchronous signals, which are the kernel's way of telling you that you executed a bad instruction and giving you a chance to do something awfully clever instead of crashing.

I would argue we need to put limitations on what entities can purchase residential property. There is no reason a corp needs to own a 2 bedroom house. It is manipulating a critical market and destabilizing everything. Push them out of the market. They should have have no skin in this game.

You want to increase the supply. I want to tank the demand. Your method won't work because if regular people could afford to compete, they would be already. The players in the market manipulated the prices once to give themselves an advantage. You're just giving them an opportunity to do it again. Only now they have the market cap to do it right.

The price will come down when the demand shifts from mcmansions to regular, affordable housing. It will be funny to see all those $1m+houses sit on the market as the correction unfolds. Nobody asked for them in most places. They were added by developers seeking to gentrify small towns like Rowley MA.

And taxes will come down too because towns will have no choice but to tax property owners more reasonably.
People have been posting about politics there for a very long time; it's only just starting to bubble up into your timeline, I suppose.

I keep hearing rumors that I can’t corroborate that the decision has already been made to kill Azure DevOps but that there won’t be an announcement until there’s a timeline. I’ve never seen it in black and white. I’ve seen that comment several times on HN, but it’s always so couched that it’s sort of useless.

Re' sending an entire aircraft over the ocean vs. sending software over the internet: you'd be surprised, but it's still often the case.

I worked for a storage company that made a long-distance replication product (i.e. a program that allows one to store their data both locally and far away in a reasonable time-frame). We were contacted at some point by a movie production company which had this problem of moving the "raw" footage from the place it was filmed to the place it was supposed to be edited, and because it would take ages over the Internet, they'd use an airplane to fly it between the sites.

In general, it's a known phenomenon in the storage industry and as technology advances gets rebranded from "Boeing loaded with CD-ROMs", to loaded with hard-drives, to loaded with USB sticks etc. In other words: Internet is slow, if you want to move a lot of data, as in it has very low bandwidth.
Ask HN: Best Tech Courses/Certifications Under $400 for a Back End Engineer?
I'm a mid-level Software Engineer with a focus on Backend engineering, primarily working with application servers and some DevOps. I have a budget of $400 and I'm looking for recommendations on technology courses or certifications that can help me advance my skills. My main goal is to work on a personal project related to distributed systems, but I'm also considering certifications like AWS Solutions Architect and CKAD to enhance my job prospects. Can you recommend specific courses or certifications within this budget? Additionally, I'd love to hear about any personal experiences or insights you have regarding these certifications or technology courses. Your advice will be greatly appreciated!
This is not a very convincing connection. All they established is that glyphosate is hanging around in water wells longer than expected. There was no causal connection found, no dose-response, nothing. They didn't even test water sources in regions without the CKDu epidemic to falsify the hypothesis.

Ideally, this should be the default behavior, i.e. "/foo/" matching only "/foo/" and nothing else. And if one wants a prefix they should be able to explicitly spell it out like "/foo/{**}".

But that’s not backwards-compatible, sadly, so this is going to remain a historical wart.

Boeing's first aircraft design was highly derivative of another plane Bill Boeing had purchased. Porsche, regarded by many as having the best-engineered sports cars in the world, didn't have a fully in-house design until 1978 (almost 50 years after founding). Tesla started with a Lotus Elise derivative. Getting started with an existing design and working backward is a well-proven path to building a business when it's something as high stakes and complicated as an airplane.
A challenge, yes, but an insurmountable one? No. There is no fundamental need to keep the written form of a language across various dialects unified. If people can understand each other's accents and dialects when speaking, they can also understand those same differences when expressed through writing (assuming that the writing system is capable of expressing those differences accurately enough, which the current English orthographies are not). In fact, writing in your own dialect and accent in informal contexts (e.g. on social media) is quite common in some language communities, and it doesn't particularly hinder communication. Thus, you could theoretically let the spelling vary by dialect and everything would work out just fine for the most part.
Peer-reviewed research isn’t a great standard, imo, for many reasons. There are sources available, ultimately it seems to turn into an ideological battle.

> Elon Musk's prefrontal cortical deficit resulted in his being forced to buy Twitter, and his every action since has betrayed an even graver inability to stop tripping over his own dick.

Right...

I have never understood this kind of "Yay! We're kicking their ass! Our team is winning! We're winning! Look at them suck!" kind of thing. Perhaps it's because the rest of society goes to a sports game and yells that kind of thing. But people who have some animosity towards Elon Musk or Twitter have been proclaiming its death for a year now. "I give it two weeks" and so on.

What value does anyone gain from this kind of experience? Just the repetition of one's imminent victory? It's fun for a while but why immerse oneself in this stuff. Cheapens the mind.

upvotes and downvotes help, and I'd argue HN does a good enough job at preventing new accounts from being able to do disproportionate damage (discouraging bots, astroterfing, etc.)

Another thing is user friendliness and maximizing engagement. Whatever Facebook did around 2015 or so to make everything bloated, animated reactions, and slower seemed to make things more user-friendly for a subset of less technical users, such that people who can't fact-check obviously fake articles and spam posts are enabled and incentivized to post as much as possible, and adding algorithms on top of that to maximize "engagement" make these things inevitable.

Twitter's chronological got turned off as the default at some point for a similar algorithmic "for you" page that I think has also made things worse for their platforms.

No idea about Quora, but eventually for ad-supported sites you start maximizing for time on the site and getting people to look at ads, rather than "quality" in the content on your social media site.
> You can't "see" that accident anymore than you can "see" G-d, so the amount of faith required to believe one or the other (or any other variation) is the same.

This is atrociously false. The amount of assumptions you need for intelligent design FAR outweigh the theory of evolution by natural selection plus standard cosmogony (big bang theory). For the former you need everything to ALREADY exist in the "mind" of the creator, but for the latter all you need is a big bang and a RNG. It's completely silly to put these two hypotheses on equal footing.

Also, God knows what you meant, no need to hide it.
