Whatever happened to education? Instead of illegalising and redtaping everything, educate your fellow travellers on spaceship earth so that redtaped-rules aren't required.
msft is finishing to take over a gigantic chunk of the video game industry.

I still wonder how valve can avoid any string pulling from msft.
k8s complexity is a challenge at scale, but its growth seems likely. Reasons include strong community/support, continuous innovation ensures new capabilities regularly added, overall standardization across various layers of substrate to name a few. It's not for everyone though. Teams with simpler needs might find k8s overkill and opt out for valid reasons. Overall, benefits + community support make it a go-to for many, despite the challenges.
Coding or nothing. Since nothing trivially can't exist, it'd better be coding.
Please prove that is a valid construction.
Arbitrary discrimination can’t be compared to organized union strikes?
I'm sure the only form of "coding addiction" is optimizing toy programs
as hobby or for competing in some sort of public leaderboard.
Normal casual coding, and writing down/debugging code is unappealing drudgery
that feeling like testing patience.
I don't like the coding process itself, just the results: elegant, fast code.
Striking is a constitutionally protected right in Sweden. The belief of PostNord is that the right of their employees to strike weighs higher than PostNord's obligation to deliver mail.
According to wiki, Playboy (copyright owner) decided to not pursue copyright infringement for that centerfold.

> Although Playboy is notorious for cracking down on illegal uses of its images, it has decided to overlook the widespread distribution of this particular centerfold.
>...old, potentially vulnerable cyphers...

Examples? Specifically, old potentially vulnerable ciphers that would actually allow the NSA to crack encrypted emails? IDEA and 3DES for example are perfectly secure for that usage. ... and just having something in the standard is not going to force anyone to use it. These days it is all AES and RSA or Curve25519.
OK, fair point regarding bespoke PKI on Windows/Mac being more common. I do agree with that. I'll amend my statement to: PGP is by far the most common standard for server-side software distribution. I'll also quickly add that I agree that git signing is worthless as currently implemented.

I have read your blogpost and I agree that PyPI had unused and useless PGP support. I also agree that signatures are a waste of time when the client tooling does not verify by default. However, this is not true for the Linux distro packaging ecosystem where approximately all downloads have their signatures verified. Until you convince RedHat and Debian to move their packaging and repository formats to another standard, PGP will remain very relevant for production server software.

Don't mistake me as a defender of PGP-the-standard. I have absolutely no opinion on its cryptography. I would happily use minisign or any other tool that used only modern cryptography to produce signatures. As a distributor of software though, I don't really get to decide how to sign, I am at the mercy of government and ecosystem standards, and as a result no other signature scheme is close to the level of use that PGP has for enterprises that run server-side software.
That’s fair, I was just sticking to the language used in the comment I responded to.

Of course, it is an easy mistake for those of us in the US to make; we tend to use “government” more generally. I guess because we used the name “states” for our province-sized administrative unit thingies.
Violent strike breakers should go to jail too.
Notepad on Windows 11 is finally getting a character count
Totally. I think UBI will be the "energy meter" of the future. Like in a video game. You get xxx dollars or whatever. Buy whatever you need, but the cap is to make sure you don't act foolish. Your UBI tank gets replenished every month, but if you blow it all on a new bicycle and kitchen upgrade for your house, you can't continue on to buy a bathroom renovation or whatever. You have to wait.
Courts aren't dumb, though. It's a lot harder for an average person to fake something in their gmail outbox than it is for someone working for a corporation to delete emails from an inbox. Google could also possibly be sent a subpoena.
I suppose it's not false advertising, since they don't even claim to have a product released yet that can do this, since Trojans Ultra won't be available until an unspecified time next year
> How good is software like radarr/sonarr/etc?

It's usable. Was a learning curve, and though it's been awhile it seems like I spent more time getting it configured than it should have taken.

> and somehow are developed in the open on GitHub so I feel like they should be fairly trustworthy.

They're like 5 steps down the "contributory infringement" hierarchy. Though that probably wouldn't help them in sued, because the punishment for facing a lawsuit comes as soon as it is filed, rather than after judgement.
codrops is a nice one
"Takeaway" is also the term used in many non-english speaking countries (by waiters who speak very limited English).
Tesla isn't the only car maker in existence. Hell, they're not even the only EV maker anymore these days and most car manufacturers aren't trying to brute force their way with how employee/employer relations are managed in a country they're not homed in.

I don't think Tesla ending up exiting the Swedish market is the owngoal you think it is for Sweden.
I honestly don't see the problem. Especially since any solution to the non-problem is censorship and big tech monopoly since a FOSS model can't be censored.

A LLM wont be able to estimate the size of my wiener. I can always claim it's the wrong size in the picture.
Arguably the customer doesn't have clarity on this situation here. Customers vote with their dollars and the reason they vote for these companies is because their products are relatively speaking the cheapest for some particular level of quality.

The resolution should be on the western governments to tax or fine the ever-loving crap out of companies and their products that utilize systems like this. Then the products' end prices will reflect the true cost to the consumer because any ethically-produced product of equivalent quality should be cheaper.
Ask HN: Is doing tech-related work in the American medical field horrible?
Everyone I know who works in American medicine says how much they hate it. Be them a doctor, nurse, receptionist, etc., etc. Everyone seems to complain they are overworked to the max and are considering leaving the field. Issues that existed before COVID have gone into overdrive over the last 4 years.

Curious if folks working at the intersection of tech and medicine also feel this way?

I've been considering exploring ways to get into this space because I see so many ways tech can help increase access to quality medical care without having to live in a big city or be your own best advocate. I am a bit terrified though, because of what I hear from people working in the industry.
Framework came across to me as more about easy repairs. How many other laptops on the market can you replace a GPU when it goes bad? Swapping out modules on the fly is something above and beyond what Framework is going for.
> Toner maintains that safety wasn’t the reason the board wanted to fire Altman. Rather, it was a lack of trust

> Toner declined to provide specific details on why she and the three others voted to fire Altman from OpenAI

Does she see herself as more trustworthy? She can't even be bothered to give an excuse for the firing.

Someone like this couldn't be trusted in literally any function, how did she get a board seat on OpenAI?
> One of them reads so slowly/poorly that she can't keep up with her emails at all, frequently misses important information and makes really egregious spelling errors.

Is this a language barrier thing or something deeper. Have you guys looked into added some language tools in they workflow ? For example grammar and spelling errors should easily addressed with the right software tools.

> This would maybe be ok in some roles, but her role is operational and fielding emails is a central part of it.

How/why did they get hire in that position ?

> If the product is good/needed enough, is it possible for this kind of company to succeed?

Yes, it's just harder.

> I know HN and PG essay-readers will usually be biased towards thinking the early team will make or break (I also have this bias), but I'm genuinely interested in hearing any views and experiences.

HHN and PG have a different venture point then you. They have to answer what are the reasonable predictor of a unicorn. In which case execution speed is paramount. Not all startup work this way.

You have a different question, what are chance for a reasonable exit with the current condition. Just track the progress and metric and make the decision if the company is worth your time.

> slow things down and make a lot of unnecessary work for the other two (one of the other two being me)

I think this is the core of the issue. If they relative unprodictivity become a problem for the rest of the team, then that's not good. Why are you stay there ? It's not your job to fix the company...

The other thing to also think of is why exactly your company is attracting the caliber of people they are attracting ? Is it possible that the comp package is too low ? Or maybe the product is not compelling enough to attract people with more work opportunity.
Only the first movie, the trademark is not expiring.
My understanding is that Matrix is widely considered to have acceptable design tradeoffs for pseudonymous E2EE. It isn't perfect[1], but it's miles better than the theatre of PGP encrypted emails.

> That is still incredibly useful, even if the metadata is (obviously) not encrypted.

To whom? What is the threat model in which a user who is serious about the security of their messages is better served by PGP-over-email?
> fiduciary duty for the for-profit entity

I read it as both. If OpenAI collapses operationally then the non profit fails at its mission too. That’s the board she is on and that’s the fiduciary duty relevant

(She may also be on the for profit board idk)
Labor contracts cover a variety of issues, Tesla is cherry-picking their comparison IMO.
These days desktop and mobile is kinda joined at the hip because users expect things like tabs and history to sync. So if Firefox has many problems on mobile to the point where users are actively deterred from using it, that hurts Firefox on the desktop as well.
Does Tesla have a binding agreement with the workers on how to handle layoffs when business is bad?
In addition to this, there's been a lot of people flooding to tech because the financial incentives are so high and the cost of entry isn't overwhelming. A lot of people want to cash out -- which isn't a crime -- but it's result in a cultural change that's diluted the share of incorrigible hackers.
He means cases where management is accused of violence against the strikers.
Transformers are heavily memory bandwidth bound on modern hardware, and these chips only have 60% higher memory bandwidth.
I asked because unlike paper mail where the deliverer is one trust-able government/commercial body, email by its distributed nature is delivered by hosts everywhere in the internet. How does plaintiff generally gather evidence to prove the email was indeed delivered in these cases?
Quantum angular momentum is a different thing from the ordinary spin of a spinning top. It's not about mass revolving around a physical center. It's just there, almost as if you painted "The angular momentum is 10^-34 Joule-seconds, pointing to the left wall of the laboratory" on it.

Despite that, a magnet acts on it exactly the same as if it were a spinning piece of charged metal. So it doesn't start as a spatial difference, but it becomes one once you pass it through the field.

And one of the ways you can tell it's not the same as a spinning piece of metal is that the amount of spin is always exactly the same, regardless of how you orient the field. It's always that number I gave you above, called h-bar. The only question is whether it's positive or negative; it's going to be exactly one or the other.

That's not what would happen to a regular object. For a regular object, you'd sometimes get 100% of h-bar, and sometimes 50%, and sometimes 0%, and sometimes -100%, depending on the angle between the spin and your apparatus. Just like if you were trying to measure the width of a piece of wood with a ruler: it depends on how you angle the ruler. Somehow, for quantum things, it's always exactly 100% or -100%.

100% things go one direction; -100% things go the other direction. You get exactly two lines, separated physically in space, even though there was no such separation in the original charged particle.
That car starts at ~$90k. So maybe it's nice to have, but most people can't.
Sure, but so does the increment operator. If they're going to lie to themselves, they should take the laziest approach to that. High effort self-deception is just bad form.
I don't think that SWEs will.

The software and services are going to be getting advanced enough to just eliminate the need for a dedicated team to build ETL. People with relevant domain knowledge will have an easier time to deliver their work product, without the overhead of building phase.

To get a reasonably good data platform - point-and-click ETL service, SAAS offering and the likes of Metabase - are already good enough for medium enterprises... and beat Databricks offerings for speed(setup, delivery and operation) in reporting and operational data access.

I am absolutely sure that there will be a massive contraction in the DS, DE and ML opportunity market in the next few years. The major companies will consolidate and jobs in those domains will only be available at only a handful of companies... or extremely specialized startups.(much like chip design is now consolidated)

Long story short, for companies - you probably don't need DS, ML and DE departments.
The dsm is hardly the authority of the heart.

It might be the authority of the pharmaceutical industry with regards to what treatments can be provided more psychiatric conditions.

And even then you have to wonder about their criteria - a doubling of diseases with every edition, all those 'chemical imbalances' and not one physical test!
What if you can have one biological child. One day, you will die, so it's -1 +1. Equals out. If you want more, what about adoption? There's kids out there that need a home. Seems fair to me.
When sufficiently broken links hit the main page, the brokenness is gonna be part of the discussion. Whatever the intentions of HN, it’s always the case, even for ones that are broken for boring and predictable paywall reasons rather than slightly-more-interesting walling-off-the-“town square” reasons.

Besides… “The Twitter Files”… Twitter renamed X… yep, that checks out, still on topic.

The one feature I feel is missing now is attaching to multiple tailnets from the same client. Since you can configure address ranges, I could set up non-overlapping ranges on my personal and work tailnets, and then use both on my phone, for example.
>> Is it sodium battery tech starting to have an effect? <<

It's not yet mass-produced at scale or commodified to have much impact yet. The falling lithium price however could make sodium batteries less attractive.
It's absolutely incredible how much you can learn about cooking from youtube.

My family rarely goes out to restaurants anymore, not because we don't love restaurants, but because it's more fun to cook at home.

> If you want to do business in the Nordic countries, you respect the collective-bargaining process.

And if you want to do business in many other countries, you have to pay bribes -- or campaign contributions or hire someone's incompetent nephew or hire people with the right "discriminated against" skin colour. That's not legal, either.

Modafinil Augmentation of Antidepressant Treatment in Depression
It doesn’t make sense to consider indiscriminate withholding of services through a strike not “unchecked power,” while selecting specific targets (which is far less disruptive to the market as a whole) as such.

It’s also not an arbitrary choice. It’s a business that’s clearly in dispute with another union, that this union has decided to intervene on behalf of. It’s not like they’re striking against a company that was just minding its own business.

Perhaps there can be labor relations boards and anti-discrimination regulation and such to prevent abuse of selective striking, but this is obviously a situation where everyone is a player and knows what game they’re playing.
I sort of assume protonmail is a major issue here. A reasonable scale service that offers pgp and wants/needs some improvements.
Views on collective responsibility for riots have changed a lot. These days, it's only the individual rioters who commit specific crimes that are thought of as bearing responsibility. But before the 1960s or so, a violent crowd was seen as collectively responsible, and it wouldn't have been considered unjustified to treat them accordingly, the way you'd be justified in violent self-defense against an individual rioter today.
No, as most USPS employees are considered "quasi-federal" employees and US law prohibits any federal employees from striking. They can protest and have some of the usual Union protections but striking can lead to them being fired, fined, or imprisoned.

As well, there are specific regulations in place for USPS workers to deliver and process all mail (barring certain safety and health issues with the package or delivery).
There's a lot to be said for this position. Here's an NBER study from 2014 on the financialization of commodity prices. There is substantially more volatility in commodity prices than in the underlying production and consumption. Sometimes, what's happening in markets is going in the opposite direction as the real world commodity.

Another related study.[2] Studies agree that the tail is wagging the dog, but there is no agreement on what to do about it.

If there weren't serious technical hurdles they wouldn't have faked it.
Still a good one. I watched it once few years. I'll probably watch it again this year during Christmas. When my son grows up I'll introduce it to him too. I'm not sure what is the appropriate age but I guess 12 is OK? Some of the scenes are definitely 18+ though, I think.
This looks really strange in Firefox. Especially in the full example[0]. The "noise" has regularity as if it has been tiled and almost looks like it has been run through a lossy compressor.

Well, I don’t feel as stupid about this not being obvious to me anymore, given that I’ve got at least four competing theories as to why the price is what it is.
Google did the same with Pixel 8 Pro advertising - they showed stuff like photo and video editing, that people couldn't replicate on their phones.
i too was excited and duped about the real-time implications. though i'm not surprised at all to find out it's false.

Couldn't agree more. As someone who used to work at AWS, I've seen it from both sides. AWS has valid reasons (business and technical) for not taking responsibility for all the layers on top. The missing piece is the operational knowledge AWS possesses but platform teams elsewhere lack access to. That's one reason to bring in a “trusted broker” to bridge this gap.
You're right, it's astroturfing a placeholder in the market in the absence of product. The difference is probably just the target audience - feels like this one is more aimed at share-holders and internal politics.
Also, sorry if it seems I pile on you, but I was looking at disposable income for an unrelated reason and thought back at our discussion, changed to country to the US, and once again confirmed my original thoughts.

Here the gross per capita disposable income 2008-2022:
https://data.oecd.org/chart/7hG5

Once again, a lot of limits: 2022 was indeed worse than surrounding years, it's per capita, because median it really hard to find, and income is not really meaningful, not if the subject is the working poor.
That is exaggregated. This is IF Metall vs Tesla, not Sweden vs Tesla.

does this mean sweeden is going to import chinese EVs??
Sure, in that case maybe Tesla would never have entered Sweden, but what good is that? It's bad for Sweden, Tesla, and the environment.

Discovering this Swedish 'quirk' then vs. now wouldn't make Tesla any more likely to roll over to extralegal bullying tactics.
If LLMs can replace 90% of your queries, then you have very different search patterns from me. When I search on Kagi, much of the time I’m looking for the website of a business, a public figure’s social media page, a restaurant’s hours of operation, a software library’s official documentation, etc.

LLMs have been very useful, but regular search is still a big part of everyday life for me.

Many Linux distros rely on PGP.

Most of these distros are using PGP to distribute software, often binaries that are distributed to end users.

Gentoo as an example, requires all commits to the gentoo repo to be signed by a key in the "gentoo-developers" keyring. Gentoo also provides "stage3" images which are signed by the "gentoo-release" key. Since this is a source based distro there are no binary packages, but the main ebuild repo is signed and verified upon syncing.

I know some other distros like Arch also do similar things with PGP.

Maybe you will say that this isn't actually using PGP because it's not using the "web of trust", but I don't think this is relevant, because there is much more to PGP than the WoT and those features are being used.
58% were funded in some fraction. I wonder what percent of approved drug cost is publically funded, and what percent is fulfilling regulatory requirements. The high cost is in large part government induced, so it's kind of hilarious to regulate this massive cost and then brag about helping to fund some fractional number.
