> Signal will LOSE ALL YOUR DATA if your phone (iOS) dies

I'm seeing this often on HN.

While it's a pain, it is not impractical. Most people don't care about this. They don't come back in time in the conversations.

If you really care about this. Like, you care that much. Just pair Signal Desktop and make a regular backup of your profile. All your messages and attachments are there. If your Signal ever gets borked, you can always put your machine offline and open Signal-Desktop on this backed-up folder. You can also open the db with sqlcipher and access all you data with it, the scheme is not too complicated to grasp.

Ask me how I know.

And since Signal is open source, you can always read its code in case of doubt. Someone could build a convenient UI to display or export the messages and attachments in a user-friendly format. This can happen after the backup is done and Signal breaks.

All this said, people may expect privacy when using Signal, so make sure your backups are well protected. This is the hard part, actually.
>will probably cause you a lot of problem if the AI says something bad to a child.

That's usually asking too much of the Hacker News crowd, I find.
One time an ADC chip in my Rigol scope died. From the pinout, it was clearly a Chinese clone of a TI part. I wanted a replacement clone part, but it wasn't available under the clone name, so I bought the cheapest most suspicious listing of the TI part that I could find, hoping I would get the clone. Unfortunately I got the genuine article. So it goes. https://goo.gl/photos/dxU3ChWUcvCMDW4N9

Fortunately I was able to make do with the genuine part, though not trivially: there was a weird clock termination difference. It's never easy, is it?
Could there be a compiler/transpiler from CUSA to whatever AMD is pushing ?
Yes, but murder is illegal, but outsourcing manufacturing to a Chinese company is perfectly legal.

If Foxconn kills someone, a US company that hired Foxconn shouldn’t be responsible.

It’s not even Amazon exploiting these employees. It’s Foxconn.

If it was Amazon doing the exploitation, I’d absolutely agree with you.

I think it would be highly interesting if physicists/scientists could figure out how to create Lithium in the lab, maybe from Helium -- or some esoteric combination of Helium, Helium isotopes, Hydrogen, Hydrogen isotopes -- and/or energy...

Now that I think about it, maybe it would be possible to make Lithium from a heavier element -- such as Beryllium (the next element in Lithium's period/horizontal row) and/or Sodium (the next element in Lithium's group/family/vertical row -- that is, an element whose properties are the most similar to Lithium).

But, the point is, if scientists or future scientists can do that -- then we can end this Lithium debate once and for all!

Oh sure, it may initially cost, like, trillions of dollars to do this in the lab the first couple of times (the history of using particle accelerators to transmute metals is a case study in cost ineffectiveness -- but then, so is the history of early mainframe computers, and so is the history of using rockets to send satellites to orbit) but eventually with continued experimentation, the cost should become cheaper and cheaper...

First you make it work -- then you make it cheap.

You know, the Elon Musk school of business philosophy...

First you make it work -- then you make it cheap... or at least cheaper...

Which was actually, coincidentally, Henry Ford's philosophy -- and that of the early American capitalists (AKA, "The Robber Barons" -- as well)...

Also, I'd put that simple philosophy against anything that anyone could learn in a Harvard, Stanford or Wharton MBA program (*) for $73,440 and one or two years of their life, plus living expenses!

First you make it work -- then you make it cheap...
Doesn't work for tons of domains, e.g. native desktop software, games, good developer tooling like Enterprise Architect or OutSystems.
I think the author is right that if writing small pieces of straightforward functionality is easier with coding assistants, then on the margin, people will use less dependencies.

I definitely think C is the wrong language to do it in. A strong type system is an amazing counterbalance to LLM generated mistakes.
Honestly it can go either way here on HN. There’s a strong libertarian bias here that’ll jump at any chance to criticise what they see as “stifling innovation”.
"digital signing" in banking sector means something completely different than PGP-like "digital signing". PGP-like digital signatures can be applied on any document and file and you can easily validate the author by their public key and can't be easily forged.
This is good for simple SVGs, or cases where you will have many variations.

But when you online SVG code, the browser can't cache the image. So if the SVGs are larger, or have only a few variations, you may prefer to have a separate endpoint for each image variant.

So, the inventory losses aren't half from organized crime, it's less. Does that mean that the majority of the losses is actually just 1) disorganized criminals (i.e., just randos who don't expect to be caught), or 2) insider/employee theft, or 3) not actual losses, but accounting subterfuge to cover actual poor performance?

TFA gives no indication, and it seems it'd make a difference in what is the appropriate response.

And yes, the locking many products behind cages certainly makes it a lot less convenient the few times I find it useful to shop in physical stores. Seems it'll just drive even harder the preference for online shopping.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Gemini and the Coming Age of AI
There is no attempt at dissuading anyone from anything. It was a simple question that is pretty pertinent to the process of the task. If the potential of fire is something you're not able to accept, then this would be pretty challenging. If potential fires are not a show stopper, are you prepared for this particular type of fire? If you are, the DIY battery is probably not going to be challenging.

What you find trivial might be too much of an ask for someone else. Because you think it is trivial and demonstrate that you clearly feel it is something you can blindly recommend to someone else on the internet is dangerous arrogance. Sometimes, it is perfectly reasonable for the response to a question to be another question.
This being about C++ and RAII lifetimes, the problem doesn't apply to C. The only similar thing in C would be compound literals. Those have a lifetime like automatic variables (i.e. to the end of the block).

I'm 30 and have previously worked in one big company and one startup.

You need to figure out how to make it work --> I know I need to figure out how to make it work for myself and to do the best work I can, but I only have so much control over what other people do and how they perform. My question is more whether a startup can succeed with a few incompetent early employees. If it's unlikely, then I want to start looking elsewhere. What do you think?
I was asking a less sophisticated question.

I think the answer is "Lean is constructive if you use the base system without known non-constructive axioms".
"the nature of a CFO" makes it sounds like some kind of mystical force. It's not! it's just humans making decisions. They can choose to be greedy or not.
> so would rather suffer bad working conditions. If you care at all about human beings

Or social stability. We came to a consensus on striking workers because before that it was violent. Reprisal against those speaking a common view on despised conditions is how you make martyrs.
> This was annoying because the seller is based in the UK and claims you should buy from them because you take your chances buying from China.

There are a couple of vendors who do this in the UK. They sell counterfeit crap while complaining about it loudly. I bet this was littlediode. Got into a large argument with them over sending out crappy clone / reject bin transistors a few years back.

Edit: at the same time I would like to buy a hell of a lot of 2N5458's and relabel them as MPF102's and retire. The MPF102 was an unbinned garbage JFET with wide characteristic spread. The 5458 is a binned one within the range of an MPF102. Same process. Of course though all the crap schematics out there on the Internet demand the MPF102 because that's what Radio Shack sold and no one knows how to substitute parts!
I did like the tid its about Chinese history as well, and the ending quote about whos winning was very memorable:)
The poster doesn't seem familiar with the DMA. A key point of the DMA is a framework to lay out objective criteria which can be used to identify gatekeeper businesses.

Given the timing of the most recent EU review plus where OpenAI was in its growth curve at that time, they simply didn't fit the criteria, which were written to allow companies as big as Spotify to escape the regulations.

Even to the extent that's true (and a lot of it is not), none of that explains why there are absolute zero email replacements, and indeed "security" people seem to promptly display brain damage whenever the idea is brought up. "Email-like" doesn't mean it has to be actual current standard email, there could be an "xmail" that has a UX near exactly like email but is more modern. But instant messengers (let alone centralized ones) are not a replacement for email and never will be, and the stubborn idiotic insistence they are is as surprising as it is infuriating. If you insist it's security or email, the answer is email, and that's how very important information will continue to be sent.

Although that said, and while not disagreeing about its flaws, I still can't let entirely go by:

>the protocol and the way it actually works in practice (hi, antispam!)

But anti-spam works fine with encrypted email (putting aside practicalities of no forging making spam harder anyway).

>asynchronous communication make it difficult to do encryption to the gold standard of quality

Nobody gives a shit. Asynchronous communication is well worth it.

>hope you didn't want to search your emails!

lol wut? If I go into Mail and searching something it can include encrypted emails the same as whatever else, why wouldn't it?
Last paragraph: "As a side note, I have designed a prototype board that allows use of a brand new 65C02 IC made by Western Digital in retro machines. The Western Digital chips have a slightly different pinout to the others, so need a slight conversion. PCBs for this are coming soon."
Digital signatures would. Makes it real easy to sort your email.
This is the part where a basic social safety net comes in.
Interesting. They don't explicitly state it, but it looks like the restrictions of a_t and b_t is that while they may vary in time, they must have a closed form solution which is independent of x.
It's a reasonably logical answer but it's not the simplest answer. The Dark Forest hypothesis assumes that life is so common in the universe that encountering and being existentially threatened by other life is a serious threat. But what reason is there to believe that life is that common? For Liu Cixin's books this assumption makes sense because it makes the story possible, but in real life there's simply no evidence to justify such an assumption.

I think it means human-friendly: not 50pages of arcane symbols; referring to welle known theorems instead of inclining the proofs.
It was reference to luxury shops stocking items without a price: “if you have to ask, then you can’t afford it.”

Most likely what they meant is that this is a development that only has “daily life” implications for those who work in theoretical physics as their day job.

Hence: if you have to ask, then this has no “daily life” implication for you.

Of course you have control, you can not turn it on and drive safely like everyone else.

If someone sold you some kind of funky DIY autopilot system on ebay that turned the wheel for you and you decided to put it in your car and go in traffic, are you not responsible just because the seller assured you it's safe?

Isn't this considered insider trading? You'd think there should be a blackout period around any kind of layoff, similar to how they do with earnings.
That you can't backpropagate is a common misconception. There is recent work (I am one of the co-authors), that derives a precise analog of the backpropagation algorithm in spiking neural networks (https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.08378). It computes exact gradients and requires only communication at spike times during the backward pass. The reason this works is because "x is not differentiable" lacks a statement "with respect to y". It turns out that since gradient computation is local, a gradient is defined almost everywhere. The gradient computation is only ill-defined at places where a spike would get added or deleted. This is similar to how in a ReLU network an exact zero input is "non-differentiable".

Cold applied to the one company in Warsaw that didn’t ask for anything more than PHP + MySQL. Since that’s all you really need (as I am now convinced, 14 years later). I had no experience, degree, or anything. One interview question was „so you want to escape from your village?”.
Also clearly the buyers of these shares think it was right decision. As otherwise they would not be buying at this price.

I wouldn't worry about it. There are tons of reasons for lack of response that are more likely than this kind of backchannelling, i.e. the tough job market, and end of year (new reqs likely to open in January). And fear of legal consequences generally keeps companies from oversharing on employee matters anyways (though I could see inexperienced founders not adhering here). Anyways, good luck, I think it's just the timing here that's not ideal.

Executives aren't able to time their sales of stock to events and they shouldn't be able to as it would lead to more manipulation. It is likely the sale of stock was planned ahead of the layoff announcement timing.
From what I've heard they aren't offering competitive salaries, so introducing people at insane comps would probably destroy existing teams(if there was no salary bumps to match)/budgets (if there was). Doubt you can do much with new hires in 1 year in such environment, by the time you start seeing results it's probably too late to capitalize on this bubble.

More likely, they wait to see how the AI HW startups shake up and then acquire the ones that have anything worth paying for.
This movie doesn't work tonally. It tries to be both serious and satirical.

I had some mosfet gate drivers (IR2112) that were really marked as IR2113, a higher tier part. The only real way to tell what you've got is to remove most of the epoxy, then boil the rest in nitric/sulfuric acid. After much mess and fume, you'll be left with the raw die and can inspect the markings. I've done this a couple of times, it's quite cool.

In my experience, most "fakes" are crappier parts marked up to be better, or chips that have failed QA. Rarely do you get a whole clone, although for some very high volume or simple, old parts, it's a bit more common.

Almost everyone on HN can live to standards that would have been between comfortable and luxurious a hundred years ago, possibly even in a developed country. (The median world wage--assuming a 40-hour work week with 2 weeks off, which is not the median working schedule--is $5/day [1].)

This doesn't undermine the struggle. Just that there is, to varying degrees (but increasingly so among anyone in tech), a choice being made.

It's considered commercially necessary because reading through logs is not as effective as using a Web tool like Google Analytics for the task of understanding what users are doing on a website.

If you want to make the argument that there's no difference between using e.g. Unix tools on a log file and using a tool like Google Analytics, that's your prerogative. But the industry as a whole disagrees.
Interesting follow-up to your Autopoint story. I met Jonathan Veley at a pen show. He is a pencil afficionado too (a self-professed "Lead Head") and bought the remaining stock of the Panda lead factory, plus a lot of equipment. He now produces replica Autopoint mechanical pencils and sells lead. He's a really interesting guy and he's written several books about the history of manufacturing of mechanical pencils.

See https://www.legendaryleadcompany.com for his story. I bought the least expensive of his newly manufactured Autopoints (they're called Legendary now) and I really love it; it's my best pencil. I love 1.1mm leads and find narrower leads too thin for my preference.
