> One of the things I feel OpenBSD has gotten right with pledge and unveil is the placement of responsibility. It's the developers who know and understands the code the best, so they are the most qualified to lock down the code.

Most qualified, certainly. But if all application developers were responsible, we wouldn't need security mechanisms in the first place. I may be misunderstanding how pledge works, but it seems to be actually a very poor security mechanism, since you could just write software which... doesn't pledge to only use certain capabilities. It seems like a great bug prevention mechanism, but not so much for security.
They are "dealt with". One way or another, competent people are stopped from being a problem for management, either by being eliminated (fired), or tempered down (not assimilated, more like "converted") so they are no longer competent, but that's a small difference for me.
Ask HN: Have you had any issues with a SanDisk Extreme SSD?
My SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD seems to have failed today. Data all backed up elsewhere, thankfully.

Have you seen issues with your SanDisk (or other) SSDs? I saw an article about issues reported primarily with 4TB models.

I've gone with Samsung T7s as a replacement, hopefully those fare better on reliability.
Shorter this post: "WAAAAAAAAAAAA but MY unregistered securities had some utility! It's not FAIR that I had to stop just because they were illegal!"
No. If the parent comment said "because Jorden Peterson has 20 years of experience, his opinion on topic X must be correct" then it's an appeal to authority. They didn't say that.

By the way, abusing terms is another sign for fake intellectuals...
Sweden isn't the USA. You can't just fire people like that, especially not for exercising one of their fundamental rights.
I think as most of us are software people, in mind if not profession, it gives a misleading perception on where the difficulty in many things is. The barrier there is not just knowledge. In fact, there are countless papers available with quite detailed information on how to create chemical weapons. But knowledge is just a starting point. Technical skill, resources, production, manufacturing, and deployment are all major steps where again the barrier is not just knowledge.

For instance there's a pretty huge culture around building your own nuclear fusion device at home. And there are tremendous resources available as well as step by step guides on how to do it. It's still exceptionally difficult (as well as quite dangerous), because it's not like you just get the pieces, put everything together like legos, flick on the switch, and boom you have nuclear fusion. There's a million things that not only can but will go wrong. So in spite of the absolutely immense amount of information about there, it's still a huge achievement for any individual or group to achieve fusion.

And now somebody trying to do any of these sort of things with the guidance of... chatbots? It just seems like the most probable outcome is you end up getting yourself killed.
Daemon and the sequel Freedom(TM) scared the hell out of me.
I would have assumed both, but I'm probably committing the sin of reading legalese as if it were plain English, which I know is not how it works.

Judges not being impressed with pedantics seems odd though. It would seem like pedantry should be a requirement. Is the law rigorous or not?

In everyday conversation, "oh come on, you know what I meant" makes sense. In a legal context it seems inappropriate.
I am not clear why this is flagged but it seems pretty on point academic-blog for a US university (hey look, there are class issues in society ! who knew!)

I think the idea of luxury beliefs is a fairly good descriptor for what the .5% will need. Once you start looking there are many examples - how many high flyers do you know that have taken up ultra-marathons (very time consuming) or charity work as an all but obligatory percentage of time.

It's a marker for "I have family life so locked down that I can attend to these other expensive options and not be overwhelmed.
Show HN: Unlogged – open-source record and replay for Java
Hello HN! Parth, and Shardul here. We have been building unlogged.io for the last 21 months. We started as a time travel debugger and pivoted to record and replay with assertions, mocking, and code coverage. You can save the replays in the form of a JSON and commit them to your git.

Both Parth and I come from an e-commerce/payments background where production bugs meant heavy financial losses. Big billion days/Black Friday sales meant months of code freezes with low productivity. Before committing the code, we wanted to replay production traffic and know the breaking changes right away, like in sub-second. Kind of like unit+integration tests on steroids.

So, we built an SDK that adds probes to the code in compile time. The SDK logs code execution, in detail.

Git: https://github.com/unloggedio/unlogged-sdk

We also built an IDE plugin that keeps monitoring code changes, hot reloads these changes, replays the relevant methods, and alerts on failing replays. It also lets developers call Java methods directly, mock downstream methods in run time, highlight code coverage in real-time, and show performance numbers for methods with inlay hints. (right above each method)

Git: https://github.com/unloggedio/intellij-java-plugin

We are excited to launch the first version of our product that replays with assertions + mocking + code coverage reports right inside the IDE.

Roadmap:

1. Create a production logger

-So that the performance impact is minimal

-out of the box masking PII from production logs

-creating meaningful input/return value combinations from production traffic to be replayed locally.

2. Creating a CI test runner that can integrate with CI/CD pipelines.

3. Auto-Replaying API endpoints of only the changed code.

4. Real-time alerts for the performance impact of code changes.

5. Creating a dashboard with reports, email/slack alerts.
If you were publicly outspoken on all of your views across all facets of life (eg. controversial topics, personal topics like relationships) with thousands of hours of content online, there would be plenty of people who strongly disagree with you and to use your words "dislike" you. The other way that's not possible is if you're not actually taking a stance on anything.
Have you tried Turo? I’ve rented several Teslas on there in different cities and I’ve never had any issues. With remote unlock you don’t need to sync up with a person, they just leave it at the airport. People culture feels like early AirBNB still. Way better than normal rental companies. (Kind of expensive though)
I don't think it's unreasonable, you need a Context to make a gRPC call and you get one when handling a gRPC call. It usually doesn't get lost in between.
Aren't they already? In the countries I've lived in there can be several unions and they decide independently when to start and stop engaging in a negociation / strike / whatever.
Everything I look at these days looks like this. And most of the time it doesn't even solve the initial problem statement but everyone is too naive to even realise that.

The worst thing I've seen is a stack that parses out a file and loads it into a DB. So someone sends us a file via an expensive SFTP+S3 thing in AWS. That is then picked up by some scheduled task using a proprietary in house scheduler process running inside kubernetes. This proceeds to download the file to the local pod. Then it makes tens of thousands of API calls to match up data which cranks the CPU up on a huge database server. This breaks all the other jobs running. Then it writes another file out to S3, consuming 17GB of RAM in the process. Another process picks that up and then batches it and inserts it into the DB with no transactional stuff around it.

The original process this replaced was a copy into a temporary table and then a bit of transaction-wrapped SQL that took about 20 seconds to import + run. They improved that to 7 hours and reduced the success rate from 100% to about 80%
I dont get it, what risks do you take when you work at tesla compared to volvo?

Being miserable everyday because you have a shitty job that might pay more in the end?
I think that chunking up your application layer into smaller parts is always a good idea. But when do you say its a microservice? When its completely isolated, with its own database etc. Are many small applications running as seperate binaries/processes/on different ports talking to one database endpoint also microservices?
Ethical and social risks of harm from Language Models
Also diversity of age and ability. Examples include tiny, low contrast text. On-screen controls that challenge fine motor control. Also on the US-style formats, poor or non-existent support for non-Latin alphabets. Try booking a commercial airline flight with a name that includes anything but the 26 English letters.
And yeah, it shows via ye olde Google graveyard. Honestly I do think it's just a hard problem not to have, because the world tends to work on visibility combined with innovation. You can't solve hard problems and make money if nobody uses your solution because they don't know it exists. But I struggle with the balance because yeah, I'm a bit jaded.
You can read the whole book if you want to waste your time. It's easy: racism is white people not wanting to be around gangs; black culture glorifying beating up old Asian people is not racism.
> There are far more successful CEO run corporations compared to family run corporations.

No, there are not, if we look at survival (the entire point of Skin in the Game).

Find us some examples of non-family-run corporations more than 200 years old.
Funny enough, I used to think that, but overall having the people that actually build the software make a hosted version ends up being better value IMO.

Our self hosted Gitlab instance needed a lot of hand holding over the years, occasional memory upgrades and involved much more work than initially anticipated. Also keep in mind that you need to spend time to keep the thing up to date and get latest features, which there have been quite a few good ones added over the years.
Of course you can fire them, as long as you can afford it.

Yeah, having a documented stream of published events in Kafka is a similar API contract the team can be responsible for - it might even double as the channel through which the data warehouse is populated.
yeah, with how many "maker" things have emerged around RPi, it's a bit of a dickpunch to be removing features that a nontrivial portion of the user base are building projects/products around.

Hopefully we have gotten past the "RPi is for education, not makers!" thing, there is really zero traction on big computer labs full of raspberry pis. even insofar as it's used in education it's still used for maker tasks, people building robots with computer vision or whatever, and some of those use-cases need the encoder too.

RPi has always been a somewhat incoherent product that survived because it was a below-average solution to any problem, the jack-of-all-trades for $45 (plus another $100 of accessories). If it doesn't have video encode, why would I want this for plex instead of a NUC clone? why would I buy this instead of a big AVR32/STM32 microcontroller for building a robot? Why would I want this instead of a Bus Pirate for GPIO? Why would I want to use this as a mini-desktop if I can't even do a Teams call on it? Etc etc. It's barely an adequate product even with all the legacy feature set there, if you start pulling pieces off then competing products become even more compelling for many use-cases.

Reality is they will probably be fine because of the name recognition and brand but it's not good management either.

I'd love to see real numbers but just like with the RX 6500XT I just can't imagine the encoder is that big. We are talking about pennies more per die, and likely this will cost them more in total sales than the pennies represent in the total product cost - you are saving 0.1% of the MSRP and losing 5-10% of potential addressable market. Literally would just be better for them to eat the cost, almost certainly.

And you are correct that while nobody uses all the features, everybody uses some of them.

I frankly do not understand the decision to depart from mainstream SOC configurations here - which obviously would have an encoder.

I don't mean to digress, but this statement of yours could easily apply to technology or any cultural change.
Of course, but if you are trying to do something which requires GPIO or want to build on top of Rapsberry Pi's other functionality (i.e. the cameras) your options are more limited.

Also the defense production act was never meant for anything like this, and likely won't be allowed if challenged. If they don't shut it down in some other way first.

Every other use of the act is to ensure production of 'something' remains in the US. It'd even be possible to use the act to require the model shared with the government, but not sure how they justify using the act to add 'safety' requirements.

Also any idea if this would apply to fine tunes? It's already been shown you can bypass many protections simply by fine tuning the model. And fine tuning the model is much more accessible than creating an entire model.
No, you can't. The courts would annul such termination.
Wow, that brings back memories. Long nights, CRTs, that fresh and health-promoting smell of warm electronics in poorly ventilated spaces, microwaved garbage food, sugary drinks … not sure how my friends and I survived until adulthood.
Even if you disagree with him Jordan Peterson is absolutely a public intellectual. Anyone who has been so publicly outspoken with such an enormous following and made a dent in the universe is absolutely a public intellectual. Just because you disagree with his views (none of which you've disputed in your vague criticism) doesn't dispute that.
Not going to like, the definition of racism there makes sense to me. Racism being a set of racist policies resulting in inequality based on racist beliefs. I mean, how else do you describe what race-based slavery is? Slavery is a policy resulting in literal enslavement based on the idea of black people's inferiority.

Like, compare this to ableism-- disabled people often are not allowed to get married because, in order to receive support in society as a disabled person, disabled people are not allowed to have anywhere near the personal worth of an able-bodied person. There's no way this came about completely without some fucked up ideas about disabled people. I also see no way to discuss how this policy came about without bringing up a society-wide acceptance on the lack of worth disabled people "should" be allowed to have.

You generally get bulk discounts. The more vendors you have, the more expensive each is.
WOW! I've never seen so many forms of psychosis in one post.

You quote, and say but you're an apologist. Please check your privelege. This isn't an apologist stance. One of the largest influencers of climate change is the growth of crops not deomestically supported by the environment. Agriculture in Africa has raised drastically over the last 5 years and the use of fertilizers in Africa is among the highest in the world.

I think we're done with this conversation because you don't understand someone who would rather take the scientific approach of analyzing a problem when you'll foot in mouth take the emotional route.
That's something I've wondered about for a while. Why?

> Knowledge how to manufacture chemical weapons at scale is regulated as well.

Kinda, but also no.

I learned two distinct ways to make a poisonous gas from only normal kitchen supplies while at school, and I have only a GCSE grade B in Chemistry.

Took me another decade to learn that specific chemical could be pressure-liquified in standard 2 litre soda bottles. That combination could wipe out an underground railway station from what fits in a moderately sized rucksack.

It would still be a horrifically bad idea to attempt this DIY, even if you had a legit use for it, given it's a poisonous gas.

I really don't want to be present for a live-action demonstration of someone doing this with a Spot robot, let alone with a more potent chemical agent they got from an LLM whose alignment is "Do Anything Now".
They are not. As far as I know, you can't just fire striking union workers. Unions force companies to only hire union members, and freeze out everyone else. They also have the ability to hold a gun to the corporations head and say look, we're going to strike and destroy your business whether you like it or not, unless you meet our demands. The bullet in the gun is the government. That is absolutely not market forces. Quite simply unions could not exist without government backing.
You know, there is a difference between Covid denialism and saying “maybe we should have invested in a lot more air purifiers and good ventilation”. I’m butthurt about the lack of science used for understanding an airborn contagion even by our elected officials.

Scientific people who are outside of a field that has institutional scientific blindness problems are absolutely allowed to call out that bullshit when we see it. We don’t get upset when a non chiropractor says that chiropractors are hucksters. I should not be lumped in with Covid deniers for pointing out that most disease experts massive undervalued and underutilized air ventilation techniques (an example technique would be doing regular activities, like classes, outside)
COVID also “pierced the veil” when it came to hard jobs with prestige; nurses and teaching were hit hard with an angry public accusing the frontline worker of conspiracy theories and whatnot. Though teaching has been on the decline with prestige for a while now.
Facebook don’t have to make 12.99EUR/user.

There are two values here: what percentage of people opt for the “ad-free” experience and how much FB makes per user. In fact, as long as their ad revenue per user is LESS than 12.99, this will work out net positive for them.

The only way it would be less is if the alternative is “not having Facebook”, rather than “Facebook with ads”.

Show HN: In-memory graph "database" with NetworkX and openCypher
Cypher is a super useful language for querying graph structures, but sometimes it's overkill to load a tiny graph into Neo4j or memgraph. We wrote this tool to act as an abstraction layer so you can query in-memory graph data -- or, using [Grand](https://github.com/aplbrain/grand), rewrite Cypher queries to run on SQLite dbs or even other graph databases that don't support Cypher out of the box. Hoping it'll be helpful to those in the network theory, graph ML, and data science communities!
I predict the rise of anti-technology cults as the moral panic over AI and “Social” takes hold. The millions of displaced workers and disillusioned social-users will need refuge.

>So about 70% of the workforce is Sweden is not "in ideal state" according to you, as about 70% is part of a union?

Probably. I'm not sure why that would seem far-fetched. But, like you said, my comment is based on a US American understanding of unions, and Sweden may be different enough for this story to have other interesting dimensions.
That is not what I read from your link. Your link state that in some states every worker benefits from collective agreements (which are set by bargaining with the unions) regardless the workers are part of the union or not.

Despite being mostly pro union I would find it totally baffling that a worker would be forced into a union and I doubt the OP was.
