Pardon me for jumping to conclusions, when you explicitly say that you want to put people in camps for mandatory re-education if they express certain opinions that doesn't align with the government's. I think I'm not the only one who remembers that this has already been done in Germany – among other places.

Voluntary theatre courses and university studies was not the first thing I thought about when you were talking about "mandatory education courses", especially given that the reason why you want to put these people in prison or camps in the first place is for their opinions.

> Also, neither torture nor concentration camps were invented in Germany.

The documentary is about a specific form of brainwashing that they call "re-patterning", which was invented in Germany and then later widely spread throughout the world in the 20th century.

The key point is that with forceful re-education you will achieve two things:

1. You will destroy innocent people's minds and their lives. 2. The bad guys will become even more strengthened in their resolve after they've been released.

There is a long list here of people who were subject to US torture and brainwashing, who then probably returned to terrorist activity:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_former_Guantanamo_Bay...

That's the results of re-education, and that's one more reason why mandatory re-education shouldn't be put in practice.
For one thing, your examples involve amalgamation in a way that is simply not applicable to computer parts with removable cables. Those have always been understood to be separate parts. If I was selling a computer with an Intel CPU, but used a third-party cooler, or a third-party accessory cable, nobody would claim I was selling a "counterfeit" device.

> How does CBP know you aren't going to sell them as genuine parts?

You can come up with a venal explanation for any item sold in commerce or any human behavior. If we enforced import and intellectual property law based on what people might do, nobody could do anything.
Also in Australia, agreed about Amazon being a deeply scammy-feeling website. The only reason I'm subscribed is because I love Wheel of Time that much and I'll be damned if I'm going to wait a minute to watch it when it premieres (very convenient time for me in Australia, 10am). Then I figured well, if I've got a Prime account, I might as well check and make sure something I'm going to buy isn't on Amazon with free shipping for a lower price, and it turns out that happens very regularly. I see the value now, although it's probably not worth what I pay for it as the savings are small. But it's well worth it for me because of Amazon Prime Video, particularly Wheel of Time.

It's actually funny, ever since Wheel of Time released and we got Prime to watch it, it's not just that we started buying from Amazon instead of individual stores, but we've actually bought a bunch more stuff over the internet than we would have before anyway. Stuff like air blowers for cleaning out electronics, verifiably safe toys for the cats, spring-loaded arms to hold phones up, a Kindle to read ebooks. The Kindle is the other thing I'll give credit to Amazon for being just very good and very good value like their streaming service, the Kindle is a very good device. Annoying DRM on my books, sure, but I've got them backed up for when it gets cracked.

While I'm no strong typing zealot and find Elixir is decent enough on that aspect, I feel NimbleOptions is just runtime type checking of keyword params, and we wouldn't need much of it with a better type system.
So I implemented this in Python and did not realize that it could so easily handle very large outputs! Very cool Python. I did have to add the lines listed below to be able to print really big results. It was when setting the input to 1000000 that I could really notice the difference between the elementary algorithm and the matrix mulitplication based version. I thought I would try numPy too but yes, it can only go up to around 92 as an input due to the 64 bit integer limit. I also tried a version in CuPy just for fun. It could use up to 64 bits as well (floats). Interesting that regular Python takes a win here.

Ask HN: Google Foo.bar
I recently got a foo.bar invite and have been progressing fairly well, but the challenges are now starting to take up a significant amount of my headspace and free time. Obviously if it results in an interview with Google it may be well worth it, but I'm also questioning whether this could end up being time sink without reward if Google is unlikely to request an interview at the end of it.

Has anyone here been recruited via Google foo.bar here? Or does anyone know whether it's something they use much for recruiting new devs these days?

I'm fairly decent at algorithms (at least compared with the average dev) since algorithms are one of my autistic obsessions so I'd like to think I should do okay. I'm 99% self taught though so I kinda know the stuff I need to know and am interesting in learning, but I'm much more fussy on the theory. For example, I know what time complexity is, but I'm less familiar with all of terminology and notations that one might know had they studied it academically. Is this likely to be a problem?

Secondly, my issue from a hiring perspective has always been that I'm very poor at verbal communication therefore I'm not great at explaining things. I also don't have the other soft skills needed to be a great dev hire even if I'm technically competent enough for the role. Again, if anyone has experience I'd be interested to know much Google weights soft vs technical skills?

I guess I fear I may be wasting my time and have other things I'd prefer to be working on right now.

The in-editor tooling definitely has rough edges. I've done a lot of Elixir and the ElixirLS stuff falls over a lot for me. There is a new effort with NextLS that seems very promising.

Yeah I've tried a vape a few times and I can't smell it at all (I also only use it on my top-floor balcony). I don't like the taste or feeling so I just continue to use edibles. I only started really using cannabis a lot in the last year (got a job in the cannabis industry lol), so maybe in 30 years gummies won't do anything for me either
Stainless steel equipment?
That phrase mostly means that the company is profitable, but it's RoI is smaller than the interest rate on its debit.

For having really nothing wrong with the company, it needs to be able to scale profitably too, by having a RoI that is larger than the interest on its assets.

The first part is clearly true for WeWork. On that strict sense, the company is quite alive, and its creditors would lose by closing it down. On the second sense, well, I don't think anybody can really say.
Approximately the same case here.
I'm thinking the dates are not completely precise.
Also the site shows announces and tracker requests, so there's no need for the whole stuff to have been downloaded. Requesting torrent info through a magnet link should land you on this page.

I share an IP with one person but the stuff showed (a dozen or so torrents) does not really check out: porn and genshin impact stuff (pretty common I guess), series in Korean and Russian, movies in Italian.

I live in France, and neighbouring IPs show a few movies or video games in French. I'll definitely double check my networks and Unifi controller for unexpected connection or torrenting. Parts of my network are less secured than others, but I pay close attention to the traffic...

Is that correct? My understanding is that the expansion of the Universe occurs away from large concentrations of mass; expansion doesn't cause the stars in a galaxy to move apart.
fair point, but i don't see much difference. we still have to pick a location with some public transport, shopping and ideally work nearby.

Interesting analysis.

I think it suffices to say that quite a bit of thought and justification would precede striking a hospital in all of these scenarios. I do hope that this level of thought and consideration is standard operating procedure in the retaliations right now. Mainly to restore some morcel of faith I have in humanity. But I, and those disconnected from internal Israeli military comms (ie most of us) can't be sure.

The political optics/rhetoric aside, the images that I see of wounded children are heartbreaking. The recounts I've read about what happened on October 7th are horrifying. If the stats are accurate, they are depressing as hell. This war has amassed almost a fifth of the total civilian death toll of the 20-year long US War in Afghanistan. In. One. Month.

Collectively I think we can agree that this needs to stop. I hope it stops. But given the track record of skirmishes and hostilities in the region, I'm losing faith.

If the statistics of civilian and children deaths are even 50% accurate, even if Israel succeeds in destroying Hamas, I fear the collateral damage and the cost of human life will just create a future generation of armed boys who all lost their parents in air strikeS in October 2023. They might just call themselves something different.

And so the cycle continues.

I know many people on both sides alike want peace. But it will take a truly superhuman person to walk across that border and say "I forgive you."

When that day comes, a person who's death would be mourned by both sides, we may have some hope.

Until such a day, stay safe. I'll go give my kids a hug now.

I’m quite intrigued by the number of SWEs you’ve trained through an apprenticeship. I think there’s often this tension between those who have been trained at some university and now have a CS degree and those who have “learned on the job” or by some other means. I think that tension also exists elsewhere in other careers - it is not unique to software.
I’d like to think the reality is more nuanced and complicated. Everyone has their preferences for learning. But I wish apprenticeships weren’t so undervalued and under appreciated. This is how we often trained specialized experts for thousands of years. I don’t mean to suggest it doesn’t have its own problems, but I think if it became more normalized it would be an overall positive change.

There absolutely should be reforms to the system to make this impossible, yes. In the meantime, we can discourage this by making them wear it. The decisions Airbnb made as an organization, have shown us all something about the company and the people in charge of it.

If we can't sanction them legally, we at least can sanction their reputation.
I am with you on finding the studies that verify these hypotheses, but for newly discovered problems, I think there will not be any long-term impact studies, but we must make a decision today about if this is safe or not.

So I recently came to the realization I'm probably autistic.

Did you know, autistic people and advertisements don't go together: https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/the-fallible-mind/20...

In my life, I've always found advertising toxic fake and kind of offensive? Sometimes I would even personally boycott the product being advertised.

Like, most advertisements, especially super bowl ones are entirely CGI these days. I used to try to spot the CGI game but now its more of a 'spot the not cgi'

Then when it comes to deepfakes and I just see right through them. It's black/white, its like watching anime and thinking its real life or something. How can something like that damage trust? It doesnt bother me in the slightest.

There are alternatives such as Rust for some of the error-elimination cases that Java was covering.

Yes, but why should they be served at all? I think we would have had a better internet in every way if the default was to pay for the services you use. That would eliminate spying and tracking, eliminate clickbait and low-quality dishonest material, and just in general increase trust and security online. I see it happening a little bit with ISPs including certain subscriptions with their plans, but it's still done in a clumsy way.
Lead pipes obviously, don't be silly it's a valid question. The method of injecting apple sauce into pouches is not via anything lead.
Oracle stuff didn't help. It's initial appeal was that it ran everywhere. Now all languages do. So people who just want to code something quickly w/o worries for security, etc. use Js/Node for web stuff and Python for pretty much everything else. For people really concerned about speed and security C/C++ is the 'real' programmer's tool of choice. Java code gets very ugly, very quickly and code reuse, one of the big promises, just never took off. So Java is kind of purposeless. Pick a task and there is something better and easier to use than Java.
Hrm. In what context is beheading someone "right"?
In a knowledge economy, lead poisoning is basically a death sentence. Those IQ points are lost permanently. So you're put in permanent disadvantage at every level of education, workforce, healthcare (IQ correlates with earnings, and money is needed for good healthcare), judicial system (lower IQ correlates with criminal behavior), etc.

People tainting our food supply with lead should be put behind bars for life.

Can you explain why this looks like the "worst combined with the awful" to you?

To me, on the surface, particularly assuming you are building a distributed system to be run and deployed by many users, some of which are not professional sysadmins (which I believe is likely to be a goal here, and should be), this seems like quite a sane choice. I'd definitely expect a design goal to be avoiding the need to setup/configure/look after any additional database or other servers.

i don't see the connection. trickle down economics is about reducing taxes for high earners so that they can spend the money on things that will eventually benefit lower earners. that has nothing to do with effective altruism as far as i can tell.

at best i can see that high earners claim effective altruism for themselves, and are discrediting it with their actions, just like i said.

if you talk to people promoting effective altruism on the ground (which i had the opportunity to do recently) then you get a different picture.
In the UK, it’s not uncommon for a large building to have its own postcode. It’s quite useful because in most densely populated areas, you can use the postcode alone to navigate to within a hundred metres of your destination.
People, well rather any given individual, might react in a predictable manner. Guessing this manner woupd require to a) build a modelnfor said individual and b) put all the input into that model that the person has at any given time.

A) is close to impossible while b) is deeply in the realm of never ever not even close. Now imagine that for any number of individuals across a complex network of social connections.

In that sense, it’s just as bad privacy wise,

If the gp you're replying to is talking about CG-NAT[1] (which is common in
India), the privacy leak is not the same.

With CG-NAT, a hundred homes simultaneously share the same public-facing IP address at the same time. That's different from Verizon or Comcast in the USA where each house has a different temporary public ip address rotating from a pool of ip addresses.

I'm not sure whether Java is in decline, but it's a clunky language that I wasn't sorry to leave behind after moving on from my previous job. The only people I've met first-hand who love Java have been using it for years & program primarily in Java.

Sure, JDK 21 adds support for some much-needed quality of life features: sequenced collections, records, switch pattern matching, code snippets. But all of these features have been supported for YEARS in other languages that I've enjoyed: C#, Kotlin, Python. Java doesn't have anything as slick as LINQ (C#) or list interpretations (Python) for succinct map-reducing objects; Stream API is what you're forced to use, and it's clunky by comparison.

Consider this argument: what % of people are in "academia" these days vs the previous centuries out of their own volition? Right now, there is an incentive to go into college, and it so happens that all sorts of people participate in the knowledge-creation process. And a bulk of the people participating in academia - are they really there for the sake of curiosity, to the pursuit of truth, etc? I'd bet that an individual in the past had less societal incentives to come into intellectual/theoretical areas and hash needless theories. So my argument is definitely not baseless (although - it is debatable)
