Something about a secret racist thing about the word "foreign". Personally I wouldn't mind working with more Spanish, Italian, and French people.

Not complaining about the types of coworkers I see, but sometimes tapas are kind of nice.
Elections are particularly vulnerable to AI-driven disinformation. A lot of focus is on deep fakes but that’s not what’s up.

AI tools are probably going to come into focus as they target and amplify the power of large-scale disinformation campaigns using mass personalization techniques.

The ability to generate digital output that blends agenda-driven falsehoods or what appear to be mere harmless talking points (rule 1 of mass communication being that you cannot control that people talk merely influence what they discuss) with voters’ information environments completely transparently and even appearing to be from a voter’s friends, family or community is truly concerning.

This, combined with deep targeting of exploiting voters racial, religious, and political identities en masse is absolutely underestimated.

The constant compromise of large-scale credit, banking and government systems has also allowed adversaries to build a comprehensive database on virtually every western citizen, including their views, background and socioeconomic data among other things, which will serve as the foundation for these mass personalization disinformation campaigns.

Heck, seems like western governments are eager to start doing the same thing these days, if Snowden is to be believed, so it’s hardly conspiracy that well armed adversaries would do the same thing.

Also the ability to gradually influence opinion over long periods with consistent information campaigns and targeted and what I like to automated “counterpoint PR” can totally change the perceptions of society’s self-image.

These are insidious problems that are far deeper issues than elections, but they will read like elections every four years as that is when western democracies become acutely vulnerable to malicious actors and a whole new generation of subtle subversion and other more nefarious propaganda and influence attacks. 5th generation warfare is here.
Thanks, is there a particular area of concern? j/w if I can mitigate that somehow.

Ha, I'm like this but moreso because I don't strongly professionally program. (I teach IT in a presently not super-technical program, and get a pretty good bit of freedom and variance in what I do.)

I feel the same way about vim that I do learning cursive; I honestly wish I could erase it from my brain because -- and it took a long time for me to figure this out -- it, for me, brings NO advantages.

Now, what would be nice is something as extensible and potentially light as vim but, first and foremost, played nice with other "regular people" programs and keybindings. Maybe it's out there, but I haven't found it yet.

This is pretty funny. Intel bought Altera, which forced AMD to buy Xilinx with all the zero interest rate money floating around. AMD's purchase of Xilinx made less sense because AMD is fabless, but Intel didn't end up doing anything with Altera. Its not clear if Altera even started using Intel fabs for its chips. AMD's Xilinx has been comparatively more successful, but I don't think that had anything to do with AMD.

Maybe we can look forward to all the ZIRP semiconductor consolidations to unwind.
As I interpret it, the subject is "One of the causes of rising college costs is very fancy dorms." It appears I was talking about that, via the "yes, you have to stay in the dorms in many places" route. What were you talking about? I don't joke much on Hacker News, the culture doesn't really encourage it.

I love to talk about this subject, as I have some insight into it, having my sticky hands deep into the faculty and staff data in a university for about a decade.
A year-end recap of what's new in Automerge
When Intel does something like this, it reveals how tight their operating margin is. This is not a good sign. Intel has never been able to push away from the fact that they'll always be a hardware first company.

It's a very tight market out there. TSMC was able to make it with very tight partnerships with OEMs and I doubt Intel can pull off something like that.
It is only a matter of time before that changes.
Moving from macOS to Linux: What's Better?
Yes, because what the market lacks is competition in the messaging space. There are only what, a dozen other options, at least half of which support E2E encryption, audio/video, etc.
Here in British Columbia, we replaced our gas furnace with a heat pump and received $11,000 in rebates from the provincial and federal governments for doing so. We also replaced our electric stove (that we hated) with induction, not gas (which we loved) due to the health concerns of gas cooking in homes.

I'm not surprised the gas industry is resorting to "inducements" to keep gas in vogue. Our last gas appliance is our water heater, and we're considering getting rid of it as well so we're gas free.

Wikipedia's purpose is freedom of information, not freedom of speech.

The two are cousins at best.
The time spent doing input is a tiny fraction of time spent coding, yes. However, it is all wasted time, and reducing it leaves more time free for thinking.

There are many syntax-aware vim verbs (ci[ or ci” for example) that save a lot of time and let me get back faster to thinking about the what and not the how. Too much time on the how and my ADD kicks in, sure as someone walking into my office and trying to talk to me.
I subscribed for a few years and would renew each year when they jacked the rates back up. Finally decided it just was not worth it and went through their arduous cancellation process. Got a call back the next day asking to sign me back up and I took the customer service rep to task saying he knew perfectly well I just canceled yesterday. He gave a sheepish laugh, did not argue the point, and they have never called me back.
Randomly googled efficiency:

> when cooking with gas, about 60 percent of the energy is wasted, compared to just 16 percent with induction

Which translates to induction winning 10.08 vs 7.2 useful BTUs
No big mobile platform vendor has any interest in tearing down their garden walls :-(

I feel like the engineering required could even be pretty simple, but in status quo everybody makes more money.
Are you're sure that's not RCS?
Has the nuisance braking problem been completetly solved? If not, I don't know that I'd agree that more automation is necessarily the answer. More good automation, maybe, but there's a logical jump there.

The Uber fatality from years back showed that the software used "action suppression" to mitigate nuisance braking. The idea that that would be acceptable on a safety-critical software application should give us pause to consider that more automation is the knee-jerk solution.
Apple's APIs for 3rd party apps are always more limited, and a few steps behind what Apple allows their own apps do.

Interesting that you use the word "impact", which I interpret as software engineer performance review jargon to quantify the larger results of engineering work, and the word "alpha" which I interpret as financial jargon to indicate some investment advantage. I think reading anything is at best just a starting point to moving the needle on any of those, and will provide nothing without further action. That said, I see two kinds of value:

If you are operating in a business-level capacity in tech where you have shallow but potentially valuable interactions with a lot of other people in the industry (eg, founder, operator, salesperson, marketer, etc), then there is significant value in reading the same things they do so you can anticipate their state of mind and have plenty of fodder for small talk. Your VC friends' comments notwithstanding, I think this is probably the biggest direct impact.

Secondarily, I think there is a good amount of passive value in reading good industry analysis if you ever want to run your own business or rise to a level of contributing strategic input within an established business. This is less of a straight line, but considering all the garbage put out by even reputable mainstream publications, and the sheer volume of zero-value entertainment options, I think reading expert analysis by well-informed, well-written and consistently committed individual authors is probably one of best ways to get quality information. That is no small thing in today's world.

All that said, I think you are right that focusing on your family and more local concerns will probably be higher ROI, but it depends what you're optimizing for.

Again, overproduction doesn't matter unless you have the storage capacity to store it and release it later. Even if you overproduce solar power by 100x you're still not getting any electricity at night from those panels.

Simply comparing production figures without considering intermittency is one of the most common oversimplifications people make in decarbonization discussions.

No, in North America all electric hobs are 240v often 30 amp (sometime higher).

With cooking it's all about efficiency of heat transfer, latency of power change, and flexibility of pan lifting between the three types of hobs (electric resistive, induction, gas).

The efficiency of electric resistive and gas is poor, induction is great.

The latency of power change of electric resistive is poor, induction and gas are great.

Flexibility of pan lifting of electric resistive and induction are poor (lift more than a couple of centimetres and you have no heat), gas is good.
Interestingly it's actually not that bad. You do have to call them but when I did so for several cars they didn't try to waste my time further. I may have had to answer "because that's what I want" to some question about reason for termination. Also I still had several more active vehicles so perhaps they felt less pressure to Shane don't go me.
Ordinary neurotypical drivers act "unexpectedly" on the road all the time. I know that I would brake if I saw a downed branch. And people do much much much more. Suddenly change lanes on the highway with no signaling? Check. Brake suddenly because you almost missed your turn without looking to see if anybody was following close behind? Check. Drive over non-lane portions of the road because you were late seeing your highway exit? Check. Swerve suddenly because you dropped your phone between the seats while texting? Check.

I've seen people reverse up a highway onramp.
For me, a major reason is the pervasive spyware baked into VSCode. A lot of the code I write are things I would prefer Microsoft and the US military-industrial complex (of which MS is a big part) not have any data about.
The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.

Doctors deemed Kurtaj unfit to stand trial due to his acute autism so the jury was asked to determine whether or not he committed the alleged acts - not if he did so with criminal intent.

When I'm repeating something in a non-vim environment, it feels incredibly tedious to actually have to do the steps repeatedly instead of just pressing .

I have to admit I have not piloted a ballon but even a sailing vessel over taking a power boat has to avoid the vessel in front. I would also question the rationality of operating an aircraft you cannot steer:)
Wind, solar, and hydro don't have unlimited potential. They all asymptote out once you saturate the area.

We're already noticing that wind farms can't be too close together, because upwind farms slow the wind, degrading the output of downwind farms. https://www.sustainability-times.com/low-carbon-energy/placi...

Solar is limited by available surface area, but more importantly by environmental impact. You're going to start destroying ecosystems if you blanket the land with panels.

Hydro has been mostly tapped out for a long time. At least in the developed world, all the geography that can be dammed, has been. And even here, there's a strong push from environmental groups to destroy the dams to restore ecosystems disrupted.
I use OAuth2 all the time. And I don't understand the conflation of email and OAuth2 being discussed in that article. With Google's OAuth2, I can get the user's email - but so what? I have no need for it and I never use it.

"Because these non-Gmail Google accounts aren’t actually a member of the Google organization, they won’t show up in any administrator settings, or user Google lists."

I don't understand that statement either. They do show up. Now of course the org could choose to not do anything to manage the access of those users - which is common enough. I made a tool used by some of my larger clients to a) get reports of users and their permissions (available via Google's APIs) and b) batch delete those user permissions.
As the article says, gas cooking is poor for our health & the environment. Utility firms have to fight against buyers who are getting more educated about this, along with stricter codes also informed by this knowledge. At some level, you have to decide where you want to be on the axis between your cooking experience & your child's health (if that's a concern in your situation). If you feel induction is too expensive, you may qualify for assistance, under a state program or under the inflation reduction act.

Other than that, it's become a bit of an ID Pol issue [0], [1], [2], so I can see why considering it "premium" would be a thing in a sorta purple, sorta red state.

Cisco has been different companies over the last 30 years, and it's not hard for me to believe their current incarnation is drastically more hospitable than their mid-aughts incarnation.
Same at my place. I think it’s for compliance reasons, but it feels patronising. A bit like taking away the sharp tools so us dummies cannot hurt ourselves. Next, maybe No-Code GUI programming because a real language is too scary too?
Well, I was complaining about German media, not CNN, Haaretz, Guardian. But to give you two examples: the whole discussion about why Candice Breitz was cancelled or why the city of Munich tried to cancel a talk of israeli historian Ilan Pappe happened on Twitter, by German intellectuals. German newspapers rather demonized them as antisemites.
There is no wind at night because it can't see where it's going.
We replaced our electric with induction instead of gas, which my wife much prefers to cook on. One of my best arguments against gas was that every gas stovetop available has a heavy iron framework over the flame to hold pots, and it's a pain to clean under them.
How is that policy choice?

Are be subsidizing the natural gas suppliers or adding fees to natty generation plants?

Gas peakers are relatively cheap to build but have to pay for their fuel, so running them a small % of the time absolutely makes sense. Nuclear is much more of a baseload source.
Apple is quietly know for such moves. A friend of mine worked in a lab that supplied Apple with [insert thing here]. Apple poached several of their senior employees, and though the lab strenuously objected, Apple was also their biggest customer.

My friend got poached, and that lab has none of their brains left to drain. They no longer supply Apple.

It's even worse than that. At least the +XYZ is specified in the email rfc. Google has decided even further that periods in the name also go to the cononical email. ie hi.my.name@google.com is equal to himyname@google.com and routes all emails to the second.
Spent fuel is a very different pollutant, one that at worst destroys local ecosystems (global impact with fossil) and the hard to handle stuff exists in quite limited quantities. Yes, it's pretty hard to put it somewhere nobody touches it, but it's not like we don't already need to find a solution to that problem.

I've always figured one of the driving motivations behind corporate blogs is to generate interest in your company and product.

There are a ton of links to learn about substack.

1. Why haven't renewable solutions solved Germany's energy crisis?

2. Why didn't Germany experience its current problems while its nuke pants were operating?

That's a self-fulfilling property, with cause and effect going as much in the other direction: people who want that capability don't become Apple users. If you want openness, you don't pick Apple.

It does seem likely their approach is something along the lines of phishing or, given some of the other notes in the article, a combination of social engineering or stalking and blackmail...

I have a feeling a lot of these hacker groups that are heard about do very little code exploitation. I think a lot of it is: find info on employees of a company, maybe find their old social media accounts, maybe find some stuff they might not want their coworkers to ever know about or their spouses etc. And then harass and blackmail the employees for a way in.

If the news agencies were better at reporting, I think a lot of people would see these type of 'hackers' as less 'ooooh brilliant genius child like in the movies' and more 'straight up criminal harasser with no more skill than any normal software developer'.
