Nice post, OP! I was super impressed with the Apple's vision framework. I used it on a personal project involving the OCRing of tens of thousands of spreadsheet screenshots and ingesting them into a postgres database. I tried other OCR CPU methods (since macOS and Nvidia still don't play nice together) such as Tesseract but found the output to be incorrect too often. The vision framework was not only the highest quality output I had seen, but it also used the least amount of compute. It was fairly unstable, but I can chalk that up to user error w/ my implementation.

I used a combination of RHetTbull's vision.py (for the actual implementation) [1] + ocrmac (for experimentation) [2] and was pleasantly surprised by the performance on my i7 6700k hackintosh.

I wouldn't call myself a programmer but I can generally troubleshoot anything if given enough time, but it did cost time.

It's already happening.

Lately, my X feed has been showing a lot of ads for cheap Aliexpress drop-shipped products that are way overpriced. (selling for $24 what you can find on Amazon for $8)

Maybe that's just because of the Christmas selling season, or maybe that's a hint of the new normal.
Wondering how this compares to nextpnr (https://github.com/YosysHQ/nextpnr) ?
It's pretty, I'll give it that.

I don't feel like it was my mistake when I got killed often, for one thing the ghost is faster than me, sometimes respawns right next to me, ...

I mean is it even surprising.

It's First Amendment protected. Universities have a long track record of having policies more restrictive than that.
You've got me curious, how did the developer's misunderstanding of forms cost millions? Was it submitting duplicate orders? Blocking submission of valid orders causing lost business?

I think it's an error to bring that up here though, where we're talking about someone patching a closed source app for their personal use. Is it worth the cost/benefit of decompiling and studying the app's code sufficiently long to be highly confident of the fix?

Sloppiness and "good enough" has its place. So does full effort correctness.

Do people actually benefit from this "professional network"? I mean has anyone actually found work like this? I just mentioned I'm free to real people I know.
Sounds to me this could have been prevented with better software in the airplanes and control towers.
These apps usually use ADS-B as received by various community-operated receivers.

This introduces a lag of several seconds, doesn't guarantee reception in tricky situations (such as planes flying very low, as during the final approach, or on the ground), and is limited to the planes' own position fix accuracy, which is orders of magnitude too coarse for this use case.
I honestly think you are either intentionally or mistakenly ignoring the large swaths of direct copied text, as in entire sentences/paragraphs.

False positives in plagiarism detection is a problem but my inspection of the examples found roughly 3-4 examples of directly copied sentences, usually with just one word changed, from a paper that she explicitly cites elsewhere in the document. Under my understanding (I'm an ex-academic with published papers) this counts as real plagiarism, and since it's repeated throughout multiple works, I think it's safe to conclude she did this intentionally and just thought she wouldn't get caught. I could be wrong.

I wish so but I'm not so sure about that. Harvard CAPS had a poll that showed more than half of the young people support Hamas. The Squad have been steadily gaining popularity, so much so that a recent article in Spectator asked who would be able to stop the Squad after the Biden administration is gone while Pelosi already stepped down. And in multiple cities in the US, the mob destroyed statues, yet left Lenin's intact.

It was hard until I realized that the ghost doesn't change when you cross the edge of the screen. After that, it turned into an uninteresting stalemate.

The controls really need to be edited, though. Left should be exclusively left, and right exclusively right. Having them both toggle makes input the primary challenge.
Three decades ago I was similarly overjoyed to discover that Scheme was finally going to have a useful application beyond illustrating SICP and writing koans to amuse myself, because DSSSL was on the cusp of evolving into the last document styling language anyone would ever need.

Unfortunately following an incident with a broken Lisp machine, a liquid lunch, and an unlicensed particle accelerator, I became trapped in a parallel universe where the HTML ERB anointed CSS by mistake during a drunken night out in Oslo.

The fundamental concept of CSS (best revealed by H.W.Lie's thesis IMO¹) was to create a rich and versatile and non-Turing-complete set of structural selectors in lieu of DSSSL's recursive logic, and to allow styles to overlay one another; two design choices that only by the application of gallons of irony can explain why most web pages are composed of a bunch of nested DIV elements with hashed IDs, overburdened class attributes, and assets compiled into static files.

Twitter ads were mostly for brand awareness - the ads don't directly lead to sales, but they lead to a good brand image which leads to indirect sales later.

The effectiveness of brand ads is notoriously hard to measure, so it comes down to the gut feeling of marketing execs rather than cold hard numbers like CPA like google ads.

The gut feeling associated with twitter right now is, to put it mildly, rather low.
Would be nice to have some kind of proof of useful AI work.
My favourite use of LinkedIn is when a company "wrongs me" in some way, as a means to find a suitable VP/SVP on LinkedIn, see if LinkedIn wil give me another free month of premium in desperation to try to get me back as a paying user like I was once many years ago, and then Inmail said people.

My best result was when DHL had flat out lied to me and claimed my package was on a ship back to the US from Europe and would be back with the sender in a month (it had been misaddressed; we'd told them that before the package had even left the US, but they insisted there was nothing they could do).

Messaged an SVP, who seemed appalled, and got copied on an e-mail thread from said SVPs executive assistant who pointedly remarked that her boss wanted to be kept updated. This happened Friday evening, right before the end of the day. A flurry of emails ensued. Monday morning the package that was supposedly crossing the Atlantic arrived at my office, delivered from the DHL depot 5 minutes down the road.

It's a bit up and down, but really the larger layer of middle management a company has, the easier it seems to be to find someone on LinkedIn who is sufficiently insulated from customer complaints normally that they'll take a personal interest when one manages to slip through and reveals things might not be how they thought they were (finding SVPs at DHL was like shooting fish in a barrel; the sheer number to choose from was ridiculous)

This is awesome. I tried doing this in the early 90s by breaking down video frames into averaged color triangle polygons and then using the renderer I had to draw them. It worked fine, but obviously best on large swathes of flat color like cartoons where it would create the smallest number of vertices and the largest runs of bytes.

Somewhere on Usenet there is a post of mine about running it on my 286, but I just wasted an hour trying to find it.
Oso | Product Engineer | New York City (NYC) | Onsite or Hybrid

*Old problem, new $25B+ market*

Companies like AWS, Stripe, and Twilio have shown that if a technology isn't core to your value proposition, you should offload it. Still, every engineering team builds and rebuilds one piece: authorization, how you control who has access to what in your app. We intend to change that.

We see a world where developers never roll their own authorization again, and instead say, "Just use Oso" – the same way you might say, "Oh, you should just use Postgres for that." In doing so, we're creating the $25B+ authorization market.

*Why Oso?*

We have the lead – in traction, capital, and team.

- Traction: Oso is used by thousands of companies from startups to the Fortune 500, like Wayfair, Arc, Intercom, Visa, Oxide, and Codecademy.

- Capital: We're the best-capitalized, with 4+ years of runway from the world’s best investors, including Sequoia, Felicis, and infrastructure entrepreneurs like Olivier Pomel (Founder, Datadog), Dev Ittycheria (CEO, MongoDB), Arman Dadgar (Founder, Hashicorp), Edith Harbaugh (Founder, LaunchDarkly), Guy Podjarny (Founder, Snyk), Paul Copplestone, (Founder, Supabase), Christina Cacioppo (Founder, Vanta), and Calvin French-Owen (Founder, Segment).

- Team: We've spent 3+ years going deep on the domain. We've met with thousands of engineering teams and know more about this problem than anyone. And we have two of the best developer go-to-market leaders on earth who have done it before at MongoDB at Snyk.

*Why now?*

We're at an inflection point. What it takes to get from where we are today to a world where developers say “Just use Oso” is going to be different. And we see that. The opportunity is for you to join at this inflection point, in a role that’s bigger and different than usual.

To apply, please visit: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/Oso/1778e946-7138-4ab7-8ad2-8d664d1...

There are lots of variants of A* that depend on what you can assume about your graph, whether you can preprocess, how often the graph changes, etc. Contraction hierarchies, subgoals, bidirectional A*, hierarchical search, all-pairs compression, moving obstacles, group movement, coordinated movement, landmarks, labeling algorithms, transit nodes, arc flags, cluster distances, vertex separators, reach, highway hiearchies, etc. Differential heuristics are my favorite for "bang for the buck", as they are fairly low effort (maybe <20 lines of code) for good speedup (3-5X on my game map tests [1]).

There's lots of research papers out there, especially for road maps.

What do you prompt a LLM with to get a more humanized output and code intermix for a CVE like this, as it doesn't have the typical ChatGPT tropes? There isn't an obvious indicator that it was LLM-generated until it hallucinated a user name and went into the third-person "raised by the triager".

Be more specific about UX. For example do you mean product designer or frontend web developer?

If you mean frontend web developer learn React. Take all the glitter away and your goals are just put text on screen and manage events. As a beginner everything will be about “how to write code”. Think of it as extreme vanity but in code. Then later you can graduate to configuration junkie. That is why I moved on.

GoldEd (GED) for the Amiga back in... probably 1992 or 93. Although the Amiga already had good text editors (CED to name one), GED had syntax highlighting and I seem to recall also macros and keyword searching in sources and AmigaGuide docs (think HTML years before the WWW). Back then I was learning the AmigaE language (another gem of that time) and GED turned out quite useful when compiling or simply navigating code.

Digital media budgets for almost all companies are essentially put into three buckets (larger companies might have a local publisher/programmatic/digital TV bucket as well).

1. Google Search

2. Meta/YouTube (maybe TikTok)

3. Other platforms/bets

Bucket three is basically all of Reddit/Snap/X/Pinterest/LinkedIn etc., they are all sub scale, and they all perform worse than the other platforms in almost every single niche. None of them work particularly well, everyone knows they don't work super well, but we all keep throwing a few dollars their way because the idea of business performance being at the whim of two companies is frightening. They're all fighting over scraps though.

I'm probably being a little hyperbolic, but probably not by much.
Back when GitHub had a “maximum number of repositories” limit, and a project was done. We copied all commits from the done project to a branch on a “graveyard” repository. All branches were 100% unrelated to each other.

I have to ask at this point- are you a published academic? The reason I ask is that there is specific plagiarism training in most programs.

There are very specific guidelines laid down, it's not about whether the person you copy "cares" or not. All of my training around plagiarism made it quite clear: the research misconduct officer will look at all the examples and exclude the ones that appear to be legitimate mistakes and false positives.

I cannot see these examples as legitimate mistakes or false positives.

HN seems to think this is a dumb question but I disagree, and I think the people replying are misunderstanding what Aaron meant. You're correct, it's not phrased very clearly. Aaron is getting at the idea that most code is effectively documentation about business logic, but a small amount of code is about making a platform-specific library or executable: this code is an implementation detail that's less important.

If you look at the work involved in creating a C89 program that won't compile in modern C, only a tiny fraction of that work involves anything specific to C89. It's almost all about solving some real-world problem in C generally, with the details about C23 compliance being an implementation detail. Aaron seems to view porting a non-compliant C program as loosely equivalent to a security bugfix that changes some low-level details of certain implementations, but doesn't have much impact on the overall code. It might be annoying to fix your K&R declarations / etc, but it won't undo the hard work you did in parsing HTTP headers.

An extreme but illustrative example of this idea: Donald Knuth still maintains TeX in WEB, which is a dialect of Pascal84. He hasn't moved to CWEB or a fancier modern language. I think he's correct: although Pascal84 is fussy and old-fashioned, it is also completely specified, fully stable, and uses a generic ALGOL syntax widely applicable to many modern languages. So the work of translating Pascal84 to modern C can be done with a computer (web2c): TeX's actual WEB source code serves as a complete specification that can easily be translated to a specific implementation. The WEB code is important, but the 1/2/2024 binary output from web2c > gcc is an implementation which is not very important.
