Seems like a reasonable approach to namesquatting, although an email notice would probably have been nice.
Yeah I agree. Reducing an accomplished woman down to “wife of someone” is super sexist.
Well they're two different APIs. Most people aren't concerned about a few KB to store things like sessions. Most people don't even know what cookies are.

So the cookie warnings have basically become the Prop-8 warnings of the internet, where they're so prevalent people just ignore them, but the cookie warnings are more annoying since they require active dismissal.
The Japanese release was for the Super Famicom. It is reasonable and correct in this context to use "original" to refer to the English localization, especially since the game was released almost simultaneously in both markets.
Not much of your calculus book will be relevant beyond the first couple of chapters, but you'll live and die by the numerical-method sword. The idea is that you need the analytic insight from the former to understand the latter.

I don't know if I really buy that, though.
Out if interest does this flaw impact Linux as well if we got one of these devices?

It sounds like it's protocol dependent with some specific Microsoft protocol, which I guess means it's unknown whether these fingerprint sensors are secure under Linux, but wanted to check in case this was investigated.
I'm having a lot of fun chatting with characters using Faraday and koboldcpp. Faraday has a great UI that lets you adjust character profiles, generate alternative model responses, undo, or edit dialogue, and experiment with how models react to your input. There's also SillyTavern that I have yet to try out.

Eh, I interviewed for both a GCP and multiple Azure teams simultaneously and the difference in talent level was astounding.

The latter team leads were anywhere from disinterested, asking basic level leetcode questions I could breeze through, to fucking incompetent who didn't even understand the coding questions they were asking. I was shocked at how different they were in terms of thoughtfulness and intelligence.
While not going as far as you want, one movement in that direction is NVMe Zoned Namespaces (https://www.anandtech.com/show/15959/nvme-zoned-namespaces-e...).
Oh SSN as identification makes complete sense. But it can’t also be a password, that’s where these things go wrong.

Growing up in Europe you never hear about identity theft as a thing that exists. I think it’s because you have to present official photo ID when signing any serious contracts.

And the liability for checking your identity falls on companies instead of individuals. This makes them care enough that the problem simply goes away.

PS: SSNs get recycled so they’re not only bad as passwords, they also aren’t very good at identification
What a comment. Why do it the easy way when the more difficult and slower way works ok it to the same result‽ For people who just want to USE models and not back at them, TheBloke is exactly the right place to go.

Like telling someone interested in 3D printing minis to build a 3D printer instead of buying one. Obviously that helps them get to their goal of printing minis faster right?
These are not public datasets, but with some social engineering I bet one could get access.

I've not worked in VFX for a while, but when I did the modeling departments at multiple studios had giant libraries of completed geometries for every project they ever did, plus even larger libraries of all the pieces and parts they use as generic lego geometry whenever they need something new.

Every 3D modeler I know has their own personal libraries of things they'd made as well as their own "lego sets" of pieces and parts and generative geometry tools they use when making new things.

Now this is just a guess, but do you know anyone going through one of those video game schools? I wager the schools have big model libraries for the students as well. Hell, I bet Ringling and Sheridan (the two Harvards of Animation) have colossally sized model libraries for use by their students. Contact them.
I noticed that comment also. It seems like the point of view of an engineer that doesn't really think about security.

Reminded me of when I first discovered that major browsers allow third party cookies by default. And thinking I can't believe they allow this massive privacy leak.

There are close to 100M MacBook users.

People will give you reasons here - because this is a non-representative group - but this is a tiny fraction of their user base.

The main reasons are Apple's marketing and signaling.

My goalposts are still the same, Microsoft FE frameworks since the dawn of time, Web and native, and their continuous replacements, when the team doesn't meet whatever KPIs.

IDK. My 3090/7800X3D desktop, assembled new, was ~$2K. That's a very premium computer.

And that's with the general Nvidia price gouging these days, and paying a premium for ITX as well.

$2K is very expensive for a PC.

I think the way to do this is to put their gains in jeopardy. We need to sit down and find an example where some money-making endeavor made life worse for most people, and scrub those dollars from the record. Perhaps we'll do this yearly.

Make dollars gained doing obvious good more reliable than dollars gained doing obvious harm.
Dang ternary operator. I wish ternary was "open":

X ? A : B : ... Z;

Where the value of each expression counted down from A..Z, ie, of there's 8 limbs, then A is 7, B is 6, ..., Z is 0.

Yudkowsky has been warning about ai x risk for a very long time. I guess you could say the “halt all research” rhetoric from him is more recent, but I can’t say it’s surprising giving his long standing views.

The thing is it's not Sundar's job to be a visionary leader. That's not why the shareholders put him where he is. He is a bean counter and is doing a fantastic job bean counting and increasing Google's share price.

Last few days events made me think like that, with most of the YC founders congratulating Emmett Shear for solving the Open ai board problems.

Any how, I would like to join that mafia with in 2 years from now, if it exists :D
>I suspect Tasha has done more and gone further in her life than you will, and your tone indicates anger at this.

Well this sure seems unnecessary. I’m saying this because I googled her name when this happened, and the only articles I could find referenced her husband. I wasn’t seeing any of this work you’re talking about, at least not anything that would seem relevant. Can you link to some stuff?

Here’s a TechCrunch article that tries to go into the history of the OAI board, and doesn’t really have any information either: https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/21/a-brief-look-at-the-histor...

Btw, I think “university trained prior executive” describes not just me but almost every single person on HN. “Involved in a non profit related to their work” I suspect also describes me and probably >90% of people posting on HN.

And also; maybe you haven’t been involved in non profit boards? “Spouse of famous/rich/etc” person is an extremely common reason to put somebody on a board for a practical reason: it helps with fundraising and exposure.
I went from an M1 Pro with 32GB of RAM to an M3 Max with 64GB. I had been regretting not getting 64GB of RAM. I plan to keep this machine at least five years, so I traded in while the trade-in value was still relatively high. I find the M3 Max to be dramatically faster. I do a lot of Python development (mostly numerical code, some micro services) and increasingly complex k8s setups. Some of my containers are still AMD64, and while these ran acceptably fast on the M1 Pro, they are MUCH faster on the M3 Max. For example, solving conda environments on a fairly complex container takes about 1/2 the time it seems (about as fast as my work 12th gen i9 Linux laptop). I am very impressed with the jump between the M3 Max and the M1 Pro, and I haven’t even touched the GPU yet.
Elon was once "in possession" (influential investor and part of the board) of OpenAI, but it was since taken from him and he is evidently bitter about it.
> he switches to Hindi and says similar with 'on the 19th November' (unnis navambar ko) - why would a boycott be so specific

Specific date and limited specific location boycotts are a frequently done because they are easier to motivate people for the amount of symbolic impact (because people can rearrange purchases rather than actually cancel them), and because they can prime people for a longer or more general boycott. Its not an uncommon strategy. (People do argue against it because the impacts are largely symbolic, for the same reasons it is easier to organize, and because there is an argument that they can lead to exhaustion -- "I've done the one thing and now you want more" -- more than priming. So there is controversy in the kinds of groups that call for boycotts about them, but, they are still a thing that is done, not an unplausible boycott technique that makes "threat" the only plausible interpretation.)
IMO the leader in question doesn't have a coherent strategy because she's likely trying to justify her org (and keep jobs!) in the face of a lot of developers who just don't care a whole lot about her portfolio. Her org could probably function with less people and achieve the same outcomes, but instead of getting rid of them, she's probably trying to make something happen by moving people around.

In an environment like that, your correct insights about "where we're headed" don't matter. The only thing that matters is that the leader can keep their org and not face layoffs. If that means shoving people around and not listening to what folks are saying, then that's what happens.
I'm not 100% sure, but those seem mostly mutually exclusive (or redundant), with the decision tree in maddness taking on a similar function as the binary tree in FFF that decides which neurons to activate.
> We also didn't follow engineering best practices for the first few years. For example we wrote no tests...

Tests are not a best practice but more of a necessary evil for production systems and/or businesses incapable of retaining their best for many years.

Hey, author here.

When I wrote that post, the site had no analytics. This article prompted someone to reach out and recommend goatcounter to me. It's lovely! And it avoids the bad points that I mention in the post. I highly recommend writing blog posts as a way of finding solutions!

Out of curiosity, why did Perl's sigils help? I don't see what they have to do with assignments being left to right.
You’re really not helping the “sports fans are combative thugs” stereotype by going off on an insult tirade over an innocent word.

Thank you. Seriously.

Do you, in your reading, see a threat? Because I’m not. (Certainly not “that Indira Gandhi Airport will be attacked on November 19th.”)

I think it’s dramatically framed to generate clicks. But a lot of right-wing gun crap also sounds like that, and I don’t think they’re always making credible threats.

It's not only about ChatGPT. OpenAI will probably make other things in the future.
I would say the bigger scary thing is how they capitalize their fame to progress agenda, in addition to what you said.

One of Swift’s big appeal outside her media, is that she presents herself as a blank canvas for her fans to project themselves on. While I wish she used her platform for more positive advocation , it’s a lot better for her to be neutral than Musks’s aggressively negative use of his platform (especially in recent times).
Yup, that comes in the form of a utility function that is nonhomogeneous across people. It's expected, for instance, that parents will value an increment in their childrens' well-being more than an increment in a stranger's.

EA is radical in that it treats everyone's utility as equally valuable (across people, not income levels -- a dollar to a poor person is, all other things equal, more valuable than a dollar to a rich person). But you can do EA and still care more about your family than strangers.
Could carbon dating prove age or is that too accurate eg. needs to be 100s of years apart.
For the same reason literally everybody else uses laptops -- so you can take your work on the go.

You don't think sound producers visit different studios each week?

You don't think video editors have to get work done while they travel?

You don't think multimedia professionals work both at the office and home like the rest of us?

Why wouldn't you do it on a laptop if you can?
Rocket is a delight. Been using it for a year now and the docs and dev experience and stability are all exceptional.

Request Guard Transparency[1] is something I’ve only seen in Rocket:

> When a request guard type can only be created through its FromRequest implementation, and the type is not Copy, the existence of a request guard value provides a type-level proof that the current request has been validated against an arbitrary policy. This provides powerful means of protecting your application against access-control violations by requiring data accessing methods to witness a proof of authorization via a request guard. We call the notion of using a request guard as a witness guard transparency.

Basically your endpoints can require access to a protected service via a parameter and you’re guaranteed that your code will only execute for valid&authorized requests. For example, imagine a UserService and a TeamAdminService, each with their own methods appropriate for their user type. Request guards are used to validate the request headers and database entries are correct before constructing these services. And since you can only construct them from a request, simply having a service listed as a parameter in your endpoint guarantees that the proper access control has be enforced before your code runs.

We’ve structured our app so that every sensitive operation goes through these services, thereby sidestepping entire classes of security concerns and missteps. I sleep better as a result and our security reviews are much more enjoyable.

I’d love to see this discussed more and adopted by more frameworks.

I think this is amusing because both directions completely work:

In C++, you can do whatever. Rust forces you do to some things. No discipline required by C++, absolutely required by Rust.

In C++, you can do whatever. Rust forces you to do some things. This means you must have discipline in C++, or you will do bad things. But in Rust, you can do whatever you want, the compiler has your back.
Laughable. This list substantiates my point.
Having spent two decades at a far, far less known company, I think it’s common for long-timers to look back with fondness and a feeling that their early days were Camelot, that the current days are worse, and that the fault lies with a specific leadership change.

It’s way more interesting, dynamic, and fun to work at a place growing 25-50% per year (or more) than it is when it’s growing 10-15%, even if the absolute growth dollars are way bigger now.

I don’t have any strong opinion of Sundar, but I’m not at all surprised that 2003 Google was a way more fun, exciting, and engaging place to be than 2023 Google.
These paragraphs really pack a punch, and having worked in tech for 20+ years now (but not at Google) I feel this. Every shitty company eventually has layoffs that ruin the culture, and end up with a "Jeanine Banks" manager type. This article was really well written.

> Then Google had layoffs. The layoffs were an unforced error driven by a short-sighted drive to ensure the stock price would keep growing quarter-to-quarter, instead of following Google's erstwhile strategy of prioritising long-term success even if that led to short-term losses (the very essence of "don't be evil"). The effects of layoffs are insidious. Whereas before people might focus on the user, or at least their company, trusting that doing the right thing will eventually be rewarded even if it's not strictly part of their assigned duties, after a layoff people can no longer trust that their company has their back, and they dramatically dial back any risk-taking. Responsibilities are guarded jealously. Knowledge is hoarded, because making oneself irreplaceable is the only lever one has to protect oneself from future layoffs. I see all of this at Google now. The lack of trust in management is reflected by management no longer showing trust in the employees either, in the form of inane corporate policies. In 2004, Google's founders famously told Wall Street "Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one." but that Google is no more.

> Much of these problems with Google today stem from a lack of visionary leadership from Sundar Pichai, and his clear lack of interest in maintaining the cultural norms of early Google. A symptom of this is the spreading contingent of inept middle management. Take Jeanine Banks, for example, who manages the department that somewhat arbitrarily contains (among other things) Flutter, Dart, Go, and Firebase. Her department nominally has a strategy, but I couldn't leak it if I wanted to; I literally could never figure out what any part of it meant, even after years of hearing her describe it. Her understanding of what her teams are doing is minimal at best; she frequently makes requests that are completely incoherent and inapplicable. She treats engineers as commodities in a way that is dehumanising, reassigning people against their will in ways that have no relationship to their skill set. She is completely unable to receive constructive feedback (as in, she literally doesn't even acknowledge it). I hear other teams (who have leaders more politically savvy than I) have learned how to "handle" her to keep her off their backs, feeding her just the right information at the right time. Having seen Google at its best, I find this new reality depressing.
I remember seeing Win9x UI on a really high resolution CRT display for the first time in early 2000s. It just had so much visual appeal to it.

Yup, this. The final version the committee actually works on is free for C, C++ and Fortran. After that ISO has it. I’m honestly not sure I would trust the final as much as the final draft. You can also build the c++ spec from the latex for yourself, the repo is public.

12 years at Google for me, 2011-2023. Left after they froze internal transfers the same day I was going to transfer, which put me in limbo for 6 months despite management saying they'd find a way to get it done.

Absolutely agree with this article. The disaster of Google+ and "Real Names Considered Harmful" was the first major crack in the culture. The layoffs destroyed what was left.

The change in frankness and honesty during TGIF once Larry and Sergei were no longer hosting it was sad to see. I hadn't watched one in years by the time I left.
