I think it's not invasive at all if they already have the service. "Oh, we need to connect, are you on Snikket?" isn't any more invasive than "what is your number". Where it gets harder is when they do not have anything you have and then you start saying "please install..." which is much more invasive for a casual contact. For this kind of lowest common denominator you can't really beat SMS or email because almost everyone has both already.
It ran out of tokens when I asked how to make a successful pitch.

Annoying that the text box doesn't scroll as the chat overflows the visible area, I had to keep helping it along. Especially given how chatty YCombinator the character is, it seems worth fixing. Question is how easy was it to find the relevant piece of the generated code's whereabouts.
The issue is that the race condition exists in the database, not in any application code. So you can either simulate the race, or you need to integration test, and that's outside the scope of TLA+ and model checking.

I haven't heard of Coyote (it's still amazing how many tools are out there). It's good that it operates on the actual code level, but I'm still not sure that would reproduce concurrency non-determinism at the database level.

This is where plug-in hybrids rule. Battery for short trips, ICE for road trips.

I have a Prius Prime, and the charge is enough for driving around town. If it had a 50% larger battery, it could have gotten us to work on one charge. But we don't commute since the pandemic.
It's a message stream, so more like Kafka, Redpanda or RabbitMQ Streams (plugin). Fluvio is more mature (it's an actual product & company behind it), but we have our own ideas how to make Iggy a competitive message streaming solution :)
Just make it financially infeasible. Spam and psych warfare require an abundance of inexpensive data channels for millions of sockpuppets and AIs. If people really care about quality web content, they'll have to actually value it by paying for it. That, and content will need to be curated; algorithmic feeds were never very good to begin with, and they will only get worse, thus they should be abandoned.

But people think it's an offense to pay $3 a month for X (Musks insufferableness notwithstanding), so slop is what they shall continue to receive.
It doesn't need to be maximally efficient, just efficient enough that we can stop thinking about it. Lots of electric utilities fit this bill. So does the post office. I'm sure there are others. These organizations aren't fighting to save every penny or inventing new features nobody is asking for to differentiate themselves from other offerings, but shopping around all the time has a cost too, so we're probably better off just letting the post office be a little inefficient. It costs us each an extra few cents per stamp, but in return we don't have to shop around for stamps and there is always a post office nearby, everywhere in the country.
Mostly the former, indeed. It's not really work one would need to do in general (we've done it to protect our relationship with these carriers, we don't want to block anything they wouldn't block anyway).
We can give up, of course, and always assume the worst out of everyone, including us, or we can use whatever tools are within reach to, at least, try to make better humans.

While I agree we aren't the nicest species of primate (that title goes to our cousins, the Bonobos), I also believe a lot of our nastiness can be attributed to nurture rather than nature.
The amplifiers in high-speed active probes can use nontrivial amounts of power. I don't have specific numbers as the probe/scope interfaces are proprietary, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the wired (non-isolated) probes draw multiple watts.

Absolutely not. "Standard" optoisolators tend to be slow and have analog characteristics which are unsuitable for an oscilloscope.

Predictions for AI in 2024
It's relative to personal preference, economic status, and general logistics. If your living conditions and/or lifestyle support EVs, do the thing if you want. Stick with ICE otherwise.

Although, I do have to say that I think EV benefits can materialize without national adoption.

If the majority of people were to prefer EVs in a densely populated city, for instance, then conditions would likely improve for everyone who lives within the boundaries of said city due reduced emissions. Not to mention minimized road noise! It seems like every other car in Atlanta is a Hellcat and 02:30 is their doughnut hour (kill me plz).

In an ideal world, we could use EVs for daily life and high speed rail for long distance travel. But that'd involve tax dollars and that'd take away from the military industrial complex's bottom line, and we can't have that!
Thanks for this story, and for mentioning the key point

> at this point the trust level was high

As your story demonstrates, this is really what these scams hinge on. It's scary sometimes how easily we can come to trust something.

(on an unrelated note, I setup Monarch (Mint replacement) a couple days ago, which of course requires giving them financial credentials just so they can pull transaction history...)
The analogy doesn’t hold because one of the hardest parts of this technology is building a device that can extract the optical energy as electrical energy, and dissipate whatever heat it generates. The power density of the fiber itself is easy by comparison.

"I really enjoyed this editorial by the esteemed Dr @lowcarbGP
about the state of nutrition research and what every clinician can do to help.

My commentary and elaboration follow:

Dr Unwin reflects on his career, transparently disclosing that – like many clinicians – he used to hand out boiler-plate advice that wasn’t helping his patients: “This included ‘eat less, move more’, ‘everything in moderation’ and advice around calorie counting... It was rarely effective. For 26 years I blamed my patients for their poor results.. It never once occurred to me that my poor advice was the common denominator.”

He goes on to question the manner in which we (the biomedical community) treat nutrition research, placing emphasis on a ‘hierarchy of evidence’ heuristic that has limitations.

While randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have great ‘internal validity’ (where complicating variables are better controlled), they can often be limited in their translatability to real-world outcomes and generalizability, i.e. external validity. (...)"

The liability difference between intentionally using health data illegally and being susceptible to a cyperbreach is not comparable.

Can you find an example of a credit reporting company lying about what data went into their credit scores? That's the comparable violation.
It’s not that the features are unreasonable but more that anything that uses it as a dependency also inherits the nightly requirement which makes things a bit more unstable because nightly is a floating version.

I did compare with glommio a bit and disliked the file API in monoio but that’s probably more a matter of taste.
In inflation-adjusted terms the retail prices of things absolutely do drop.

Sure, Tesla might choose to only sell a 600-mile range battery for $15k instead of the 300-mile range battery for $8k. But if there’s a market for a 300-mile vehicle that costs $7k less, and that vehicle can be profitably produced, then it will very likely exist.
Thanks, I appreciate your thoughts!
> How do you deal with content moderation?

On your own static site all content is written only by you. So there's nothing to moderate.
The URL already ends in .pdf .
Monoio seems to be the most performant runtime, and actually easy to use - we have decided to go with "bleeding edge" approach, as it will still take at least a few months to implement io_uring and other optimizations, as we'll have to rewrite some of the core parts and most likely shift towards thread-per-core architecture.
They aren't visible on these sites, first thing I checked. Maybe they've requested delisting but I think they're just not broadcasting—specifically to avoid consequences of their reckless flying.
I don't think that's comparable since there is no rideradar24 where you could check out every ride anyone takes with their car. Also, who owns which plate is not public information.

I believe that plenty of people would object to that level of tracking citing privacy reasons.

Theory: In the not so distance future, “presentation” (design, etc…) will be moved entirely to the user for static sites.

Small, locally run AI will digest and output all content configured perfectly to the users preference. CSS will essentially become a recommendation language for source material at most.

Many benefits will come from this such as solving accessibility permanently or being able to change how you choose to consume content by modifying layout on-demand.

The new goal will not be how to design fun, unique sites — instead simply how fast and easy to get the content up on the net.
Which is doubly dumb since drug chat tends to use slang words for drugs that would be mostly problematic to block anyway...as many of them are commonly used for their original purpose.
No. This is more like a "how to configure an OIDC integration between Github Actions & AWS" tutorial. It uses OIDC, but "How [OIDC] works" is too broad of a title for what the article ends up covering, IMO.

$3 a month, or $8 a month, or $15 a month does not stop spam or advertising or bots as long as the profit is larger than that.

It has. That's why countries don't have real chemical weapons anymore. They are easy to make (for an industrialized country), but they don't provide any real advantage when both sides in a war have access to them. They just increase misery for everyone involved.

I never thought Mac OS releases were planned for longevity after they started being free, more like point releases. You were expected to upgrade and if you didn't, Apple doesn't care if you had a valid reason to stay (PPC Rosetta, i386 compatibility), just upgrade. Windows releases on the other hand can last up to 13 years and even longer, there are forums for modern day XP users and even ports of modern browsers.
> I would be fine without open sourcing drivers, but just releasing documentation

The problem with that is that it's far too easy for the 'documentation' to be incomplete, and in non-obvious ways.

OTOH if they release incomplete source code it will likely be much more obvious (e.g. 'foo() calls bar() but bar() does not exist anywhere in the codebase, wtf').
Right, it's the five times in a row thing that makes an in-memory solution faster. Otherwise, this is a purely sequential one-pass problem, which is how you'd do it in practice.

Parallelism with edge effects is pretty common. Weather simulation, finite element analysis, and big-world games all have that issue. The middle of each cell is local, but you have to talk to the neighbor cells a little.
Not yet, I’ll give it a look next time I hack on my site. “Stripe for auth” is exactly what I’m looking for, and I know I still have a lot of auth head bashing left before I ship.

I’ll say though, my personal “customer demographic” ATM is more along the lines of someone who wants to get working user signups and auth and then never think about it again - so mentioning SAML/OIDC building blocks is a bit of a turn off for me. The reason is that I’m a solo dev trying to ship a browser-based multiplayer game, which I assign a low (maybe 5%) probability of ever becoming something with multiple people working on/turning into a real business - so I need auth, but would prefer to spend as much time as possible on the game itself, and don’t have anybody to farm the work out to.

But I’m happy to give workos a shot to see if it makes my life easier.
> there’s no reason why you wouldn’t be able to place drugs and guns in the trunk of the car

Most common drugs that people get busted with in their car (weed and alcohol) aren’t illegal on their own in most states, they are illegal in relation to the person driving the car. More specifically, could the driver even theoretically access those while driving later, without having to step out of the car? If yes, that’s illegal already, even if the person is fully sober.

For example, if I drive in California with a few joints in my trunk or a case of beer - totally legal. But if i am in the exact same situation, except the joints and the case of beer are in the cabin (even if it is in the backseat and is in fully-sealed original packaging that was provably never opened) - I am in trouble.

But the more serious barrier to this, as others have pointed out already, is that they cannot just pop your trunk to do anything shady with no probable cause. You can easily make up a probable cause that the driver looked impaired, even if that wasn’t the case, and then you can “inspect” the trunk and do whatever shady business you want. But a self-driving vehicle pretty much nullifies the possibility of that, because it eliminates sobriety of the person in the car from the equation.
Not really. I'm saying that currently an EV fills a relatively small niche. For buyers without that specific niche requirement, an EV is usually overly expensive, or represents a pretty serious compromise in capability.
This is the most accurate and clear-eyed take I've seen on GPTs so far. They might be useful, but they're not magic and they're intended to enhance OpenAI's moat-building operations to make it harder for people/companies to walk away from the platform amid future competition.
Funny thing is, most js devs do typescript now, which is the same as java, of not worse because you need an extra colon for your static types
Continuing devil's advocate, we don't know that they didn't do those things. Maybe they did and that's why it's only 14,000.

If an attacker works off lists of compromised usernames and passwords from various sites, for a given user there's always a chance that the first one they try is correct. Especially for the kind of user who recycles the exact same password on 50 different sites. (Incidentally, you should probably try to hack that kind of user first, and for each user, try their most-recycled passwords first.)

usually not. but we prefer to write it first this exact way, and there are good reasons for rhat.

it is not. this style is extremely regular, very readable and writable, and escapes a whole galaxy of typical C blunders. i can expand on that if you wish.
The case was subject to a lot of FUD and misunderstanding. This is one of them.

> The supreme court ruled[0] that copyright (and thus copyleft?) does not apply to APIs.

That is what they specifically stated was not the case.

The text of Wikipedia (as of now) says:

Breyer concluded that "we hold that the copying here at issue nonetheless constituted a fair use. Hence, Google's copying did not violate the copyright law."[77] This conclusion rendered the need to evaluate the copyright of the API unnecessary.[79]

But let's look at the original Supreme Court decision (this is just the beginning first paragraph):

""" JUSTICE BREYER delivered the opinion of the Court. Oracle America, Inc., is the current owner of a copyright in Java SE, a computer program that uses the popular Java computer programming language. Google, without permission, has copied a portion of that program, a portion that enables a programmer to call up prewritten software that, together with the computer’s hardware, will carry out a large number of specific tasks. The lower courts have considered (1) whether Java SE’s owner could copyright the portion that Google copied, and (2) if so, whether Google’s copying nonetheless constituted a “fair use” of that material, thereby freeing Google from copyright liability. The Federal Circuit held in Oracle’s favor (i.e., that the portion is copyrightable and Google’s copying did not constitute a “fair use”). In reviewing that decision, we assume, for argument’s sake, that the material was copyrightable. But we hold that the copying here at issue nonetheless constituted a fair use. Hence, Google’s copying did not violate the copyright law.""" (emphasis mine)

The Supreme Court basically weaseled out of their responsibility of deciding the law (of whether APIs are copyrightable). The usual logic is to consider fair use after determining that a subject matter is subject to copyright. Pretty sure no lawyer or judge just jumps to fair use without first considering copyright. Anyway. In all fairness it was a difficult case.

FWIW, it is arguable from an academic perspective that since the Supreme Court only reversed the decision on fair use but did not reverse the decision on copyrightability of APIs, the decision of the lower court stands.
Biggest obstacle would probably be the 2/3rds of power which ends up as waste heat before it even enters the workstation :)
Just anecdotal, but there are many fit, marathon runners that have suffered from this, myself included. I had LC for five agonizing months. I think it was because I tried running through some of the mild symptoms that caused me to get this. I don't think I lost my overall fitness, but rather my muscles/cells, etc. lost its ability process oxygen properly. Once I got "better", my ability to run fast returned quickly, like within one or two months.

I really related to this.

I keep wondering if my career peaked in 2020 and for a year or so I've become increasingly negative about my future career progress in tech.

Requiring 2fa is the only real answer here here, your other suggestions are unnecessary red tape. (A strong password can still be reused. Periodic reminders will 100% be ignored. Failed auth count is silly because it falls back to 2fa, so just always require 2fa?)

The only reason it makes the news is because "diversity" is a culture war bogeyman.

As I pointed out in that thread, every state university professor in California must sign a loyalty oath as a condition of employment. Even those already hired back in 1950 or so had to agree to the oath to continue with their position.

As dangus pointed out, "If you gave me a nickel for every time a prospective employer asked me to write stuff I rather don’t feel like writing like “why do you want to work for Widgets, Inc?,” I don’t know if I’d need to work anymore."

My brother in law has done a 21 hour trip (according to google maps) in 20 before. Stop when the gas gauge is at 1/4, and everyone better be back in the car before the pump stops or they get left behind. His wife refuses to do that again, it is very hard on the body (and not safe at all)

Personally I want 3 days for a trip like that.

The company can create a way to void the warranty or not take responsibility and leave it to you if 3rd party modifications or drivers are used, but not outright prevent them and make them a pain to the users. Something like how Android ROMs and rooting used to be.
