The Dunning-Kruger effect isn't as the article first quotes. It's an effect that everyone experiences. We as humans tend to over simplify things we don't understand well or at all. Therefore we over estimate our expertise on these subjects. We also tend to under estimate how much an expert on subjects we do know well. Everyone does this. It's not just dumb people.
The number one differentiator for me is whether we are forced to use cameras or not. I never turn one on unless specifically asked. And even then, I tend to turn it off anyway after some time of possible.

If it's turned off, then I don't have to put with this crap that most people do, that is meetings for the sake of meetings. On the other hand, the actual meetings where we meet with one or two colleagues and we work on blockers etc. are extremely useful, engaging, and instead of fatigue I feel satisfaction. (Maybe because instead of my face, I show my screen).

Not that I was ever exposed to. Calling cards were just account numbers with a monthly statement. If you used a credit card for that, then maybe, but to me paying with a credit card suggests a per call transaction. That I have not experienced. But the world is a bigger place than just me, so maybe it was available in other areas?
In fact, I even made it into a reusable library!

What does it mean for "Nvidia to know" something? Does it never count as a "corporation knowing" unless the executives are aware of it? Obviously this cannot be the standard by which companies are held accountable.
One of the generally accepted reasons why its hard to get graphics companies to open source their drives has always been that everybody is violating everybody else's patents. And while everybody knows this making it too obvious is a legal disadvantage. But I hadn't expected it was also true of copyright.
Not sure what you mean. OMNY has contactless and fare capping.

Wow, this is super interesting, thanks for sharing. A bit unclear from the articlr overview if they managed to do 6 reproduction cycles in just 6 years total and got to significant results. Or if it was 6x6. In any case, now my dream of breeding a fully domesticated group of raccoons seems more feasible!

The idea that war is going to be so much more affordable if close air support is done with strafing runs than LGBs, is just a bafflingly wack understanding of the military budget's breakdown. Close air support is just one specific role, in one specific branch of the military. Even if 30mm shells were free, it would not appreciably affect the military's budget.
Excellent! It's so interesting to see the development of a tiny browser that'll run in 16 megs in a world where contemporary browsers can use gigabytes of memory.

It's also interesting to see how well they keep with SSL/TLS, how they're immune to games like .webp because of DataTypes, and how web sites can, in fact, be loaded on an m68020 or m68030 class processor from the mid '80s.

If nothing else, it's something that can be pointed to when people are quick to say it can't be done :)
> German police found its documentation and hardware pinned on Moniruzzaman's walls when his home was raided

WTF actually prints out documentation? Let alone pins it to their walls? I mean....seriously does anybody actually do this?
To be clear, I responded to this comment:

> A couple of zoom calls may suck, but certainly less than commuting to have the same meeting in a stuffy room.

Maybe I read too much into the comment. Maybe it was just meant as a way of saying "I personally prefer remote work + video conferences to in-person meetings". But I feel like there's a narrative that developers actually uniformly prefer remote work, and that the comment reflected that narrative.
Dunning-Kruger posits this as a psychological effect, yes? On the top half psychological effects such as imposter syndrome could come in to play.

Have sociological factors such as being kind or big fish little pond been considered as likely causes of the misestimates?
When you say a failure for cars, let's get more specific.

As far as driving experience goes, I'd say it's pretty fantastic. The handling, acceleration, level of customizability - it's unlike any ICE vehicle on the road. The fit/finish issues did exist, but they are largely a thing of the past for their mass market models (can't speak for Cybertruck.)

More importantly I'd say is how fantastic the software is. No other auto manufacturer comes anywhere close, and it's what makes the car stand out for me. I care an awful lot less about the grade of leather and the level of fit/finish when I can have a car with such a dramatically better software experience, and I expect more and more people will eventually figure this out.
I don't disagree and think that illustrates my point.

If you're used to one or two levels of exaggeration or deception from alleged authorities like politicians, news, or other groups, then you start to discount everything you hear on the topic.

The even bigger problem comes up for some people is that if every claim you investigate is false, why think the primary science is free from lies and exaggeration just because you can't repeat the work.

Like I said, I personally believe in climate change in general, but have seen a ton of bad primary science in the areas I am capable of scrutinizing.

As a result, my default assumption is that the field is toxic and news is more likely to distort than enlighten.

Would be better to simply use a counter and a random seed in that case. Who knows when your prng will loop around, but your counter will always loop at 2^32.

At which point, if you use AES, you've just implemented the AES-CTR csprng that TFA suggests.
Because of the video optimization. You can see it in action, on others' images. Much better, these days. I probably don't really need to do it, anymore, but it's habit.

In a single page application you have to access the JWTs with JavaScript. When we use cookies to implement sessions we have attributes like HttpOnly to prevent the cookie from being referenced by JavaScript code. In this case a XSS vulnerability would not be able to simply access the cookie and take over another users session.

What I am trying to say here is that JWTs used in single page applications are dangerous because you have no layer of protection against XSS attacks.

> Capitalism is not evil— it’s incredibly ingenious and productive. We all live much better for it.

Well regulated capitalism is the least worst of all. Even Adam Smith himself didn't imagine "the invisible hand" as some silver bullet.

Unbridled capitalism, much as the US has had since the 70s, is just the transitional period leading to feudalism.

The author measures the Dunning Kruger effect on his random data exactly because he assumes it when generating his random data.

By modelling skill and perceived skill as uniform draws between 0 and 100, the unskilled (e.g. skill=0) will over-estimate their skills (estimated skill = 50, the mean on the uniform random variable) and the skilled (e.g. skill=100) will underestimate it (as 50 as well, again the mean of the same random variable). The only ones who will be correct (on average) are the average skilled ones (skill=50).
> 2021 was way colder for the entire state.

Except not the entire state, I was pointing to one of several areas that got above freezing every day in 2021 while also being dramatically colder in 2011. So your experience wasn’t shared across the entire state just the highest population areas.

As to ERCOT seriously fucking everything up, well yea that’s completely accurate. Yet, Foard County along several other counties are within ERCOT and didn’t lose power from the 2021 storm. Those are low population areas, but understanding why power outages where continuous relates both to lack of power but also an inability to route available power.

> We also tend to under estimate how much an expert on subjects we do know well

Any evidence for this, except Dunning-Kruger? To me it looks like everyone overestimates themselves. There are a lot of professionals who think they are undervalued and that people worse than them gets all the rewards and fame.
Winter storm Uri had impacts from Mexico to Canada. It was a major storm for close to half the country. You probably didn't experience it much in Florida, but if you were in New Mexico, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Louisiana, Mississippi, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Alabama, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, or Connecticut it was a bad winter storm. Even parts of Minnesota were impacted with generation issues due to the massive natural gas supply drop. The storm spanned from Canada to Mexico, from New Mexico to Maine.

SPP had generation issues like Texas because of the massive drop in natural gas supply coupled with high demand and had rolling blackouts as well. MISO was the most impacted part of the country weather-wise and had practically no spare capacity, and PJM was also still under very heavy load.

You get far enough out and you start realize the rest of the country isn't a single grid. The east and west aren't very connected, and from the central US to the east there's really a few different grids with interconnections, which were all getting maxed out without trying to take on the shortfall in Texas.
IMO this is more of a "don't ask don't tell" thing. I'm sure there was never an explicit agreement that the employee would bring trade secrets, but they can promise to be able to build for Nvidia what was built at the last company, and Nvidia could say "yes I want that", and not audit the new employee's dev environment.
In a capitalist system the burden of proof falls on the one advocating state control. You're the one who will need to bring the evidence.
Educated opinion: Everything I've seen around the F35 seems to indicate it overshot expectations and is a very good plane.

Uneducated opinion: Personally, I think it's also overused to a silly extent, but that's a question that it's good enough for many roles over more specialized planes. It's slower and more expensive than a 1954 f104, and I think cheap drone versions of many airplanes would be good enough for many missions, at a tiny fraction of the cost.
Tell HN: Get yourself checked for ADHD, depression, etc.
In the previous 2 years I've discovered I've had a slew of diagnoses for most or all of my life. I didn't realize these things because I had systems in place to cope. Through recent conversations with people who were diagnosed years ago, I realized I had many similarities with them. This was more impactful than reading a list of symptoms because somehow I can convince myself that my symptoms aren't as bad, but I can ask clarifying questions from people who have these diagnoses. I think that's because of the systems I had in place to cope. But if I look at the symptoms, and take the questionnaires, assuming my systems are not in place, then it becomes glaring obvious.

I'm not sure what heuristic to apply to decide if you should get tested. If I traveled back in time 4 years to convince myself I had these issues I probably would've asked, "is your physical, emotional, and mental health _perfect_? Think deeply about the ways and places that it isn't, and talk to a licensed professional about them. Assume you have diagnoses until proven otherwise." But of course I'm not a licensed professional so I have no idea if that's a good way to look at it for others. It works for me though.

## Questionnaires

This is not an exhaustive list of course. If you think you may have X, you can probably find the official questionnaire online.

This statement implies that LLM hallucinations are completely random which is objectively false.

LLMs fill in the blanks when left to synthesize a response from a prompt as opposed to translating a response from a prompt. These synthesized responses, aka hallucinations, are predictable in nature. Quotes, titles of books, web page links, etc.

Conversely, providing an LLM with all of the facts necessary to complete a response will result in few to no hallucinations.

For example:

Select name and row_id from table1 joined on table2 on table1_id.

This will never return "DROP table1;". It will basically only ever return something very close to what you want.
what about this:

>Valeo said its former employee admitted to stealing its software and that German police found its documentation and hardware pinned on Moniruzzaman's walls when his home was raided.

Yeah she was on the L1 helpdesk ticket merry-go-round for a couple of days before I told her what she needed to say to them to have a security team member look at it
I don't know if I agree that it's an autocorrelation, but one way to explain The Dunning-Krugger Effect is by acknowledging this simple fact:

Most people think that they are an average person, but they can't be all average—there must be some people substantially below the median. Therefore, those people must overestimate their abilities.

This also applies to other aspects, such as attractiveness. Less attractive people would overestimate their attractiveness.
Sure, but I wans't talking about the visuals alone.

I can run NC in DosBox on the glorious 43".

I read Gibson on 15" in the native 320x200 and my 40Mb HDD shook the table table on the seeks.
I have over 20 years of experience, I run a team, and I can code something like this in my sleep, as well as any average developer (but maybe "average" is lower than where it used to be in my day). Don't talk down to strangers on the Internet so arrogantly, you only end up embarrassing yourself.

I went to check what this code does (beyond a base conversion with a custom alphabet) and I laughed my ass off.

1. Literally TWO-THIRDS of the "library" is a clumsily put together ban list of slurs. Hardcoded, in the library. This DOES NOT belong there.

2. It also contains alphabet checks like say repeated letters, which it'll run every single time it produces an ID, instead of statically checking the alphabet ahead of time, and just using it in production... or even simply selecting an URL-safe alphabet and sticking with it.

3. Despite all the checks, block lists, the default alphabet doesn't do the most elementary thing when producing alpha-numeric ids: exclude letters and digits which look similar, and so will look identical in some fonts. Nasty when you have to write an ID from say a screenshot, or a poster, or what have you.

All in all, that's only borderline more utility than the infamous "leftpad" library, and it may actually be harmful in practice, because it contains a bunch of specific and/or superfluous concerns by the author, almost as if they're trying to justify why this is a library in the first place, but which will likely not align with the precise requirements of the users and their project business rules, while it excludes others (like the one I mentioned in point 3 up there). But I'm sure the kids will be impressed.
You could ask for directions and look at the steps.
> paste code from source files of projects they worked on for different companies

I wonder what would happen if legal action started between two companies and it turned out a coder pasted code from personal projects that predates both.

The idea is that you encode and decode database IDs with this. You wouldn't save them separately unless you were using it for a purpose other than shareable "identifiers" which don't leak significant amounts of database state. Imagine something like a link shortener where you want to provide a short link to users, but don't want it to just be a number.

The company I worked for, was paranoid as hell about IP in the code. They hired some source scanning firm, for a lot of money, to continually scan our codebase.

They were mostly looking for GPL (nasty, naasssssty GPL!) code, but they also scanned for code that couldn't be accounted for in our "clean" repos. Not exactly sure how that worked (or even, if it worked at all. I think they brought smoke[0]).

Ask HN: Why is GPT4 better than the other major LLMs?
Having used GPT4, PaLM and Claude, it is quite clear to me that GPT4 is an order of magnitude better than these other LLMs. Google, Anthropic and everyone else are investing oodles of resources and the best talent to catch up so why are they (seemingly) not able to? There is a general sentiment that LLMs have no lasting moat but OpenAI seems to (for now) have one in terms of a better product. The big question is why?
There are lots of cases where a PRNG is more appropriate than a CSPRNG. Wiping disks is one of them, as the CSPRNG becomes the bottleneck with large arrays. Testing i/o or network throughput is another; you don’t want your algorithm tainting the results.

I like the thrust of the article but if you’re going to be particular, you should also be correct. CSPRNGs are not suitable replacements in 100% of cases.

In a single page application it is necessary to access the JWT with JavaScript. Thats why it is so common to save it in the code directly or in the local storage. It is dangerous though, since a XSS vulnerability can be used to access the JWT. This would be totally different with a cookie that is stored with HttpOnly.
Because, as it turns out, using cryptocurrency as currency is too expensive. The exchanges let you "trade" and then settle themselves in way fewer transactions, so you don't have to pay nearly as much in fees.

It's the same reason we keep our money in banks instead of everyone owning a Fed terminal and requesting ACH pulls.
