No. They are building roadblocks to prevent civilians from going south. Israel declared an evacuation of the north but the Hamas is forcing civilians to stay there as human shields.

If Israel wanted to harm civilians it wouldn't declare its targets for bombing and invasion. That's a stupid military strategy that puts the Israeli soldiers at risk.

> What's stopping someone from just vacuuming all the data they can until codebreaking catches up with encryption?

The people who have the time and resources to do this are nation states. And if they're going to spend their resources on IPFS, they're also already doing this for intercepted HTTPS traffic because it would be wild not to. Imagine having the confidence to crack strong encryption and ignoring 99.9999% of web traffic so you could potentially spy on the handful of gigabytes of whatever is ending up on IPFS.

Even if codebreaking catches up to the point where it's tractable to start cracking the encryption on these files, the ability to tractably crack _all_ the files is probably many decades away. You can probably be confident that you'll be long dead. And you can almost certainly be confident that by the time any of the files (or HTTPS traffic, or whatever) get cracked, the statute of limitations has long passed on whatever nefarious thing you are worried might get seen.

Of course privacy from the prying eyes of the NSA (or your favorite codebreaking entity of choice) is obviously important, but it really begs the question: what is their incentive to do this? To get in on the furry porn you're uploading? To see your baby pictures? The kinds of secrets the NSA is looking for need to be worthwhile enough for the NSA to justify spend millions (billions? tens of billions?) of dollars building zettabyte-scale data centers and cracking them years and years after the fact instead of spending that money on something more immediately impactful. Quite frankly, those secrets aren't "someone from HN sharing their files over ipfs"-shaped.
Currently no, but I’m open to the idea of being able to set this. Perhaps the ability to set it on the fly (or better yet, inform the user of which type of compression to use based on their actual data!) would be useful. Happy to discuss in a gh issue too.

I was trying not to make a judgement call and just report my findings.

In my experience with Microsoft's URL detonation, it could go either way and be a false positive or be real. In one case where I had a definite false positive, opening a ticket with Microsoft resolved the issue within a few hours. Both myself and the entity with the false positive are government cloud customers, maybe our experience would be different in the commercial cloud. Interestingly, this issue seems to affect anyone using Microsoft hosted email without regard to which cloud you are using. Different data centers, separate implementation, but some shared data apparently.

What is causing the healthcare staffing issues? Is this all still related to Covid?

Every single healthcare and adjacent person I’ve spoken to in the past year and a half has nigh-universally expressed a sense of impending doom.

My PMC doctor, who I’ve been with since 2017, abruptly quit and left the field entirely. The office is part of a big healthcare conglomerate, but it’s been several months and I’m still being told I won’t have a new official PMC until sometime in the spring of next year!

Feels like something in healthcare is seriously broken with no plans to fix the problem.

> Isn't "small government" the definition of political conservatism?

Not at all. Small government was a movement within US conservatism that gained a lot of momentum in the second half of the twentieth century.

Plenty of conservatives did and do have ideas that rely on some significant government apparatus or another, at some level or another. Even during the hey day of the “small government” era, Republicans were loudly in favor of expanding military and law enforcement programs, and many craved the reintroduction of censorship programs to protect kids from being exposed to naughty things.

Conservatism is defined by reactionary conservation or restoration of traditional norms (per the specific conservatives’ vision) as set against any number of emerging alternatives. If it takes a government bureau to make that happen, history shows no reluctance to use one.

Help me understand. When a car has multiple trim levels, and one has more horsepower, you would want the one with fewer? Because in theory you wouldn’t use it? And this has nothing to do with MPG either because in some cars the higher power engines get better fuel economy. But based on that metric alone, you would pick the lesser model? Just like if a MacBook Pro came in either 1600nits or 400nits, you’d pick 400? Yes or no?

The problem with many of these examples is that 99% of the time, it is a sign of fraud, and 1% of the time it’s a false positive.

> If a person's mobile phone number is associated with VoIP or Google Voice, that indicates fraud.

I’ve been using this heuristic (along with VPN and IP geo lookup) when screening job candidates after a massive influx of developers outside the US applying for US-only remote roles. I discovered that VOIP phone numbers on a resume is extremely highly correlated with the applicant lying about where they live.

If it weren’t for this screening step, I literally wouldn’t be able to hire anyone because the volume of fraud is so incredibly high that it drowns out legitimate candidates.

I wish there were a way to detect fraud while never having a false positive.

But the reality is that a lot of the heuristics you listed are indeed strongly correlated with fraud. It sucks, but it’s also not realistic to optimize for the 1% of false positives at the expense of the 99%.

That's interesting, my experience with a physically destroyed Android is that I didn't lose any data without any backups other than the default settings, since apparently all the apps that I use sync to cloud by default, without me needing to configure any backups, and use local storage only for caching, so all the apps, settings and data could be automagically restored.

You're comparing the cost of only self driving tech vs the cost of the entire rail infrastructure.

• Underground parking for 600 cars? 35 million euro - https://youtu.be/mXLqrMljdfU?t=690

• Rebuilding a highway? Half of the transportation budget gone - https://youtu.be/SfZYB-rnejk?t=479

• Adding just one more lane bro to a freeway? $2.2 billion - https://youtu.be/uxykI30fS54?t=840

Take into account the money saved from scaling back car infrastructure:

• lower obvious direct building and maintenance costs

• reduced healthcare spending - increased activity levels [1], lower local pollution [2]

• lower stress thanks to reduced noise levels

• less of a need to spend money on counteracting the negative effects of climate change

• freeing up a significant chunk of the valuable ~30% of space in cities taken up by oversized roads and parking lots -> more housing, denser cities -> less travel needed -> lower costs

Sum all that up and then tell me self-driving is cheaper than rail.

This is the precise reason I prefer embedded development. The challenge of fitting my entire application into a handful of kilobytes with just a KB or two of RAM is a lot of fun. I get to build a program that runs really fast on a very slow system.

It's a point of personal pride for me to really understand what the machine is and what it's doing. Programming this way is working with the machine rather than trying to beat it into submission like you do with high level languages.

It seems a lot of programmers just see the CPU as a black box, if they even think about it at all. I don't expect more than a couple percent of programmers would truly grok the modern x86 architecture, but if you stop to consider how the CPU actually executes your code, you might make better decisions.

In the same vein, very high level languages are a big part of the problem. It's so far abstracted from the hardware that you can't reason about how it will actually behave on any real machine. And then you also have an invisible iceberg of layer upon layer upon layer of abstraction and indirection and unknowable, unreadable code that there's no reasonable way to know that your line of code does what you think and nothing else.

Modern software practices are bad and we should all throw away our computers and go back to the 8086. Just throw away the entire field of programming and start again.

LLMs CURRENTLY favor the more curious and open individuals (High on openness in big 5 scale). Half of the population is not open, does not want to try new things, unless it leads to very direct and proven benefit.

However, over time, the overwhelming benefits of using LLMs will be well understood, and these ladder climbers will absolutely master LLMs, no matter their intelligence. People can become experts at taking exams despite how boring and soul sucking that can be, let alone using something way funner and useful like LLMs.

"On Wednesday, Apple released iOS 17.1. Among the various fixes was a patch for a vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-42846, which prevented the privacy feature from working.

When I wrote the article I searched the web for the kernel-userspace ABI situation in the BSDs. I found posts that contradict that.

It seems FreeBSD has a reputation of changing binary interfaces. Even when they clarified that they meant the kernel-userspace interface, it was pointed out they're only stable for current releases. There seems to be some emulation but I can't figure out how hard of a guarantee that is.

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig/#ker...

How could the ABI be stable if you have to recompile user space when you update the kernel? Linux is said to be able to run binaries from the 90s.

It is a typical advice which is efficient but flawed. All software methods to change color temperature suffer from two problems: they kill contrast (already low for IPS), and they kill color calibration. It also cannot change the backlight spectrum in the blue area. Proper, good backlight won't strain your eyes, when run at normal 6500K temperature,as it has blue peaks shifted.
