that's great :) as a personal note, i signed up to a lapidary club which was a similar sort of thing to a mens shed. Also retirees, ex-engineers teaching lapping, stone setting, jewellry design and so on. It was a great experience.

I have the form for our mens shed down the road, they have heavy duty large work area benches, CNC cutters, table saws, hand tools and so on.

The guy i met was super into building guitars - showed off his work - and was really cool when i went down. Made it a good point to tell me there was some sort of training/compliance where the people who run the joint needed to ensure your competance before letting you loose on the tools :)

EDIT: two other things....considered buying them a broken down car, bike or lawn mower and tell them to get it running? :) Or - buying them Ben Eater's "Build an 8 bit pc" and get them to build that?
You can get around this by being selective with the apps on the home row. I have the Home Sharing, Settings, Search, Photos, and Podcasts apps on the home row. No ads.

Even then I don't quite consider it quite ad-free. Content I've purchased in iTunes Movies or iTunes TV Shows will always show the store on launch or will switch to the store if you pause content for some amount of time.
As I understand, this is _after_ they explicitly removed support for homekit/android's equivalent?

I just don't get this behaviour
How long can people pretend censorship is not becoming more abundant? How can democracy exist with an abundance of subjective censorship? There was an entire ticketing portal for government agents to request take downs of content for subjective reasoning. How is that not censorship?

The answer is to never make a single mistake.

We have been using AI for various tasks for decades now. In fact, every day things you take for granted are powered by machine learning, and most people don't even realize it.

Is OCR "a scam just like crypto"? How about voice recognition, used daily all over the world? What about spam filters? Clearly useless over hyped technology right?

Even if you wanted to limit the term AI to large language models, which by the way, would make your use of the term incredibly wrong, it STILL has many common and useful application. You can use LLMs to classify text (sentiment, toxicity, etc), they can be paired with voice models to improve speech recognition or improve translation services, and so on.

I think it's better to ask what you think the major similarity is between AI and crypto, because it's hard to find any other than a subset of the crypto fanatics now jumping on LLMs as the solution to every problem. But this group isn't actually part of the AI community.

The housing market suffers from inadequate regulation, allowing speculation and profit-making through the mass purchase of properties and subsequent rental hikes.

Not to be too cheeky here but paying with what? Cryptocurrencies are mostly hot potatoes everyone is throwing back and forth and occasionally dropping to catastrophic effect, and don't seem to be tied to actual value add.

Meanwhile millions of people pay for tools that are now integrating AI to enhance their value add.

Free ChatGPT is just a loss leader for API and paid acct and a way to better train the model.
This is the way. If you aren’t at capacity then the manager can step in and say “yeah, we can do that, let me get a ticket/issue/record of it so we can track it” and then proceed to work on it. This works in Kanban really well. If you are at capacity or have planned a sprint already and are midway through the run, it’s ok to say no and get it prioritized in the backlog. If you’re DevOps and the Ops part of the role requires you to respond to tickets in a timely manner then this breaks down.

What we are saying though is that having a plan is a good thing. Protecting the plan is a good thing. Adopting work and helping others is a good thing. The work being adopted needs to be planned and prioritized though. If it’s a small task (like the OP said, it was a 5 minute thing) than opening a chat with them about it after creating the necessary record is fine. The fact they agreed (regardless of classification that they were technical so they would understand) shows there’s hope in your org for empathy.

What you shouldn’t do is say no to adopting the work while you sit back and play wordle until you feel the person has waited the necessary amount of time. Also, don’t write systems that require 14 approvals and a shaman and waiting 48 hours for a status change before you can begin work.
You probably knew to go into your UEFI settings and put GRUB back at the top of the boot order.
That only works as long as TVs connect to the internet via WiFi. Unfortunately there are protocols out there for IoT that bypass per device WiFi settings entirely by setting up mesh networks.
A year or two back they changed the home button to actually go to their TV app, fortunately this can be reverted in the options.

Otherwise, there aren’t really any ads except that if you linger over their app icon, it has a kind of “now showing” effect (no sound though). Seems a little more privileged compared to other apps in how much of the Home Screen it can use, but it’s really not obtrusive.

I really like my Apple TV.
Definitely cultish and yes, I agree... a lot of the engineers were brilliant, but their code was sometimes a bit crazy. I worked with one guy who meta programmed everything in Ruby to the point where even the tests were meta programmed and none of the stack traces made any sense when things failed. The complexity level was just too far over the top for the benefits of the meta programming.

I've also tried to 'change' companies towards Pivotal process. It never really works. People are more than willing to listen, but when it comes down to the practice of things, it just doesn't happen for one reason or another. I think that is why Pivotal Labs works so well... everyone working there is already on the same page and sticks around for many years... and anyone who isn't on page, migrates out relatively quickly.

I think this is also a bit why 'agile' tends to get a lot of hate/fear on HN. You really have to be military and cultish about it from day one, like PL is. Few people are willing to buy into that. Even I was skeptical of it when I first started there and it took me a while to relax into it.
Bring it on. I can't wait to buy a house in the next 6 months. People with money who want desperately out of the renting game don't care at all about 8% interest rates. But the investors and second home buyers sure do. This has been the biggest thing keeping me out of the market since 2020; the time pressure, not the prices. I just refuse to make a massive financial decision on the spot based on a 15 minute open house tour with zero contigencies and huge earnest payments.
I got a chance to teach Rust as part of an undergraduate introduction to programming language theory class way back in 2016-2017, and spoke about it at RustConf 2017. Here's the video for the talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PhfaFkzdBA

My key takeaways were basically that students took to it better than I had anticipated, and that Rust proved to be a useful way to illustrate a number of interesting programming language ideas.

Note that because it was a PL class, not a Rust class, that students were not expected to walk away as capable, ready-to-run Rustaceans.
This may not be exactly what you are looking for but if you have specific topics you wish to learn more about then the Security [1] portion of StackExchange contains some decent questions and answers. ServerFault [2] also contains some server best practices. Stack Overflow [3] would have some of the coding best practices. Lurk on there for a while before asking questions as people expect a certain style of question formatting and some degree of research from someone in a related professional field prior to asking questions.

> Existing-home prices are on their seventh consecutive month of growth, […] Average U.S. existing home prices are up by nearly 6% year-to-date and 2.6% year-over-year, which is “well above the median full calendar year increase” in more than three decades of data, […]

… yes, because slight more homes had to lower their price, the cracks are really showing. Were those home lowering to a price point still on a market price curve pointed squarely at the moon, or were these buyers trying to flip a home 2 months after buying it and doing 0 renovations (a listing I have seen more and more often recently) and hoping to get rich quick?
> Are these drugs fixing/replacing a system failure where people don't feel satiated normally?
> Can the same effect be replicated by eating a higher fiber and higher fat diet with more whole foods to feel full longer and slow gastric emptying?

I think it simply takes a long time for your body to adjust back to where it should be after a period of extended binging and these drugs make it happen much faster. The only time I consistently lost weight in my life was when I lived in a food desert and had no car and not much money, so I was forced to only buy the cheapest vegetables and meats (usually chicken) and make what I could out of that and make it last for the week. Even then it took more than 6 months before I felt normal eating that way.

Of course, it's extremely easy to fall off the wagon when your body works this way too. Even a day can wipe out weeks of gains and you can always 'relapse' even after months of doing the right thing, and end up stagnating or completely reversing any progress you've made. In a way it seems that food is the most addictive drug of all. You can easily quit alcohol, cigarettes, hard drugs with a couple weeks of willpower (and I have multiple times). You can't ever stop eating food if you want to be around to experience life.
This comment is really giving off "the internet has melted my brain" vibes. Can you try to make your point without sarcasm?
Missed the second part of your post:

> It would be nice if some of the enterprise licensed tools gave some metrics like Outlook, intelliJ/VSCode, and Gitlab, all overlaid on a simple bar chart of activity. It would be pretty easy to see gaps and to piece together a work day. I realize that doesn't account for whiteboard time etc, but that stuff is explainable. 3-4 hours per day of activity + very low contributions is not explainable.

Yeah, they don't make it easy. There are dedicated tools for desktop surveillance but that's too invasive for my tastes. I've been doing this job long enough that I've seen things I wish I hadn't.

It's hard to measure "activity" in an app, but with Defender we can check if a process is even running in the first place. I don't have any canned queries for that since I can't anticipate the tools every random employee is going to use. You start looking for VSCode, j'accuse them after not finding it, and they counter with "but I use Pycharm/Eclipse/etc."

> 3-4 hours per day of activity + very low contributions is not explainable.

Every company is different, but that's pretty typical for ours. Half of everybody's day is meetings, and I don't have any way to easily verify whether a meeting existed or whether they attended, so it's not a standard I would personally hold anybody to. Maybe you're running a sweatshop though, in which case expectations are higher ;)

We're both approaching this from a position of disadvantage...it's real easy to be made a fool of when it comes to accusations.
Yes, and as generally used and meant, it means "freedom to express any opinion".

No one reasonable disagrees that you shouldn't be able to yell fire in a crowded theater. There have never been people advocating for that when they argue for free speech.

Pointing out there is a restriction on causing riots or disturbances to argue that there is not truly free speech is rather meaningless. It's a 'victory' only in the most technical sense, and not one worth recognizing considering how irrelevant it is to the actual discussion, which relates to "freedom to express any opinion".

Just to be clear, the claim is that the US has significantly more freedom to "express any opinion" than any other first world country does. In this context, "freedom to express any opinion" is generally referred to as "freedom of speech".
poor understanding of how PKI work.

> that government can ask its friendly CA for a copy of that certificate

1/ copying/reafing the certificate without the private key is something every TLS client must be able to do, this is a must. It is absolutely not a security concern.

2/ copying the certificate and the private key would be a concern, except s CA never sees the private key and hence cannot have it. The CA signs a CSR which does not contains the private key.

Overall I still agree with the article since the problem is not that the CA can copy the cert but rather that is can issue a new cert for the same URL, enabling MitM attacks.

Also, I garantee this gov CA will be breached in no time. There would be simply too many government agencies with access... Impossible to secure.

The core mission of libraries to provide information has been supplanted by a device that exists in everyone's pocket. Information was a major need once, now it's trivially available. Libraries need to reinvent themselves.

Let's convert libraries into on-premise AI supercomputers that anyone can rent time with, would be a good leap into the next age. Or VR rooms (I never have enough space at my house). They need to think bigger than just "info".
Lies spread faster than truth and repetition legitimizes, repetition legitimizes, repetition legitimizes.

I was curious so I studied them briefly. Please take it with a grain of salt.

ShellGPT offers a lot of flexibility with outputs(comments, code snippets, and documentation besides shell commands), operating modes (chat mode or REPL), model choice (supports locally hosted models like LocalAI), and custom roles. Clipea, on the other hand, is a simple tool for generating shell commands and has zsh shell integration.

They essentially perform the same task, but the choice depends on your needs.

> but then where is the great modern Western classical music?

What, like Johannsson? With how much new material is being released every year the question isn't "where are the great works," but "how do we separate the greatest works from the lesser ones?"

> We gotta end the postmodernism and return to actually nice things.

This reminds me of Beethoven's Große Fuge, which some called repellent and other called a masterpiece. It's like how I don't understand Cubism but some people love it so there must be something I just don't see.

And remember Hitchen's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
I would avoid even that at work because of SOC2 and network segregation etc.

I would probably do it for home, maybe. But creating a health check from the app I already am building and pinging that does the job and isn’t too hard. In addition that tests the secrets provided to the application. Secrets management and rotation is also a challenge!

But I can see why some people might want to ping their DB.

At work we also monitor the other way for example alert if CPU or Memory usage on the DB is high. But this doesn’t replace a ping check just augments it.
Don’t need to imagine… looking at the bookshelf right now. One day they will be opened.
Hamas's primary reason of existence is propaganda. Actually, two different kinds:

- Direct propaganda to the Palestinian people that peace with Israel is practically impossible and morally indefensible, and that the only option is to kill millions of Israelis in the name of Palestinian living space

- Indirect propaganda to the Israeli people that peace with Palestine is practically impossible and morally indefensible, and that the only option is to oppress millions of Palestinians in the name of Jewish living space

That last one is going to not make sense, except in a "butterflies and flowers[0]" sense... until you remember that Israel directly funded Hamas specifically to discredit more liberal and secular Palestinian independence movements that might[1] have actually been willing to settle for a two-state solution with a few land swaps and concessions. The reasoning for why they'd fund their own violent opposition is outside the scope of this comment[2], you just need to know that it happened.

Once you understand that Hamas exists primarily to propagandize against Israel, the staging makes sense. I mean, actual death and destruction is a stimulus that provokes pain and anguish, but why stop at what's real? Supernormal stimuli provoke supernormal responses. In other words, Hamas is a violence porn and snuff film factory masquerading as a guerilla warfare unit. In other, other words, they're terrorists.

[1] Ok, I don't actually know if this counterfactual would have held, had Benjamin Netanyahu not interfered with peace talks in the early 2000s, or if the more secularized Palestinian political organizations would have still insisted on getting back more land from Israel[3] than was otherwise acceptable.

[2] Far-right groups in general love to secretly break bread with their enemies as a form of mutual ideological sadomasochism. Remember, the evil other they propagandize against isn't their real enemy. They actually share a common cause with the evil other: kill the liberals and left-wingers trying to stop them from killing each other and turning their country into a perpetual meat grinder.

[3] Yes, pretty much all of Israel is stolen land, in the "British Empire" sense. Used to actually be part of Britain. That theft is still in living memory, which is also a factor as to why Hamas finds it so easy to recruit new terrorists and why any attempt at negotiating a two-state peace deal is impossible. Peace on fair terms is morally unacceptable to both parties.
