George Carlin always credited his older brother Patrick for being the genius of the family, so if I were them I would have presented "George Carlin's Genius Brother For the First Time!" or something like that, but of course that would be wrong and disrespectful as well. Maybe more legally defensible.

There are sex workers who already use AI tech to produce images of themselves trained on their pictures - for eg, https://www.susu.bot/ (NSFW)

This is likely the (near) future of this tech, you can't control it only monetise it so that the ease of use is more convenient than spending a couple of hours downloading publicly available images and training models yourself.

I've certainly given up on many of the newspapers 'of repute'. I consider many of those today as 'newspapers of poor repute'. I'm looking at you, New York Times and Washington Post.

Reuters was a newsagency that I trusted for decades. No more.

For those three I have named, I feel that there is more likely to be truth when you reverse the news that they give you today.
The true purpose of books is to subsidize Big Forestry via inflating sales of printing paper, subsidizing large economies of the pacific northwest and Canada, but no one is ready for that conversation.
> Stableness of interfaces is supposed to imply the software version is still maintained though. E.g. how stable kernel versions get backports of fixes from newer versions without introducing major changes from the newer versions. It's not meant to mean you e.g. get an old version of the kernel which accumulates known bugs and security issues. If you want the latter you can get that on any distro, just disable updates.

I'm sure the volunteers working on this stuff is doing the best they can, but stuff like this isn't usually "sexy" enough to attract a ton of attention and care, compared to other "fun" FOSS work.

Our ants may have many questions too but we don't seem to understand whether they even have questions and we may not even know how to start engaging with them to answer them. Surely they don't seem to respond to our level of intelligence, so we should adapt to their level in order to tell them something they can understand. But if we achieve that, will the ants really perceive us as a higher level of intelligence? We would clearly stumble our way to approximate a communication channel the best possible way with them and use the feedback to learn how to get better at communicating, but that may take a lot of effort on our side because we may always assume we "bottomed out" their intelligence level and that's pointless to continue probing.

I now ask you to imagine an analogy with a species that is as smarter, bigger, more powerful and radically different from us as we are to ants.

When I was suffering from this I tried to hack it and what I noticed was that when I got more blood to the brain (e.g. by being upside down), it improved (for a minute or two). So that led to the brain hypoperfusion theory and then I decided to ramp up the red blood cell count to give my brain the ability to do more with less, by taking liposomal iron, lactoferrin and liposomal sublingual B12. This led to a massive boost that I could work normally for 8 hours (but had to take rest afterwards).
Then we need to standardize how we name functions. For example, never talk about a mute function, but just sound on. All function names should indicating turning something on, and never off, or vice-versa.

Ahh, but once you accept there’s economic limits the economies of scale define those limits.

The rise of EV’s will therefore strand more oil as smaller scale processing/distribution is less efficient. Being local to you doesn’t help because oil is transported to refineries before useful products are sent to you.

The crash continues to strand more production as refineries shut down.

Quite a few studies have found the ME/CFS 50% of Long Covid tracks with ME/CFS from other sources, a condition caused by a number of different mostly infectious challenges to the body including quite often EBV. So in this regard you are right the symptoms and a lot of the biological changes track ME/CFS. In this case we know the causing infection so we may as well keep that information because it does help in studying it.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10278546/

But about half of Long Covid is other things, like heart attacks, strokes and cancer all of which are significantly up since the pandemic started across most of the world and showing up in excess deaths.

Its also worth keeping in mind the post Polio diseases only impacted about 1% of people who contracted the disease. Just because it only impacts a small number of infections over the world it can be a very large number of people especially when people are catching Covid so often.
It’s always mattered. People have been trying hard to get social media companies and govt officials to pay attention.

US electricity is about 20% from coal [0], and almost certainly trending downward.

I agree that there are wrong locations/applications for most technologies. But I don’t think you can make a robust science-based argument that wind and solar are worse than gas or coal for the US in terms of net CO2. Or that the Nature article I posted is full of lies or hype.

Was there anything wrong, with the good old mechanical locks in train toilets?

The only thing wrong was the fact that they weren't "modern" enough, i.e. too simple and predictable.

That said, you can easily "DoS" a mechanical lock too, if it doesn't have any form of interlock. Everyone who has locked themselves out of cars and buildings (e.g. leaving the key inside) will clearly remember this.
Currently you can get encryption if you care to configure it, so some have crypto and some don't; but if all certs are trusted, then everybody gets compromised crypto, which isn't much better than no crypto, so it's IMHO a downgrade.

Ask HN: How to build a decent wait list for your upcoming project?
Hi guys.

I am currently working on Labour.Quest (https://labour.quest/), a service that allows professionals to host & share their resume using custom themes (sort of like Tumblr).

I am trying to get my wait-list to a decent number of contacts to no with very mediocre success.

I have tried Product Hunt & Beta List. These however, have not moved the by needle much.

Indie Hackers is a bit arbitrary on how one can be able to post their project there.

1. What strategies do you recommend I try?

2. What have you used that has ever worked for you?

3. Basically, what is the most effective way for me to get a decent number of sign-ups for the wait-list?
It’s not violence by the literal definition of the word, but I’m not a fan of this particular point of view.

Financial crime at this scale absolutely causes people to die unless you think several billion dollars worth of resources is ineffective at keeping people alive.

The people who engage in fraud at this scale create far more human misery than your average mugger, though I think both should be adequately punished.
check out the paper, not just the summary. They explain their methodology. The output has four data points because it’s a summary. The input is … more data than that.
> It’s in the train co’s interest ...

But the if the trains pass first inspection, then it no longer is a development issue but a maintenance issue. [1]

It's not as if train companies can afford to run a statistically significant number of carriages from different suppliers to see which one gives them the actual best bang for buck 5 years down the road.

[1] Rule-proving exception: the Fyra trains. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fyra

The short version: high speed trains failed and were eventually returned (2014) to the manufacturer for ~2/3rds of new price. (That's the exception part.)
There have not been high speed trains on this traject since. (That's the rule-conforming part.)
Presumably for something as expensive as the US nuclear weapons program, they could afford to hire and fully train 10x as many people as they need to be experts in externally-obsolete software/hardware and it just have the effect of a rounding error in their overall budget?

If that were cheaper, or considered more reliable or less hackable, than upgrading the systems to run on more modern technology then why not, as long as they look ahead far enough to make sure they fund the required tutoring to get the knowledge being passed down a generation or two, and do it before getting to the point where not having enough young experts actually has become a problem.
Don't look at it as wasted effort, look at it as practice for later.

You can just read. The most surprising thing about WWII, at least to many Nazis, is that the US and Britain didn't join the Axis. German theories about race were largely drawn from British and American sources. The US fought WWII with a racially segregated military.

I cancelled my subscription after 2 months because I was spending way too much mental effort going over all of the code vomit fixing all of the mistakes. And it was basically useless when trying to deal with anything non-trivial or anything to do with SQL (even when I frontloaded it with my entire schema).

It was much less effort to just write everything myself because I actually know what I want to write and fixing my own mistakes was easier than fixing the bot’s.

I weep for the juniors that will be absolutely crushed by this garbage.

Personally I think politically the US is way too far down the normalization of deviance road. My attitude is if your going to ignore the 14th amendment and put Trump on the ballot why even have laws.
The term "security by obscurity" or "security through obscurity" implies that ONLY obscurity is being used to provide the security in question. Like leaving a totally unsecured server on your network with root access available with no password, and telnet or sshd open on a high numbered port instead of the regular ones.

Obscurity is a useful tool to be added on top of real security, and can help reduce the random baseline doorknob jiggling attacks, where people are just scanning the standard ports. But obscurity by itself is not enough to provide any real security beyond that.
I think sometimes statements like this probably apply in aggregate, as in you can’t safely say they work in the general case due to too much response variance. But it’s not unrealistic to think it works well for some.
> regardless of category

I think that's a sweeping generalization. For example, it's much better to have a bunch of food that's mostly garbage than to have a famine where all food is super high quality. There were points in history where this choice was made (obviously unconsciously because the choice is too obvious to even think about). Other examples abound.

Technology often makes things much cheaper while reducing quality. Sometimes that's bad, sometimes it's great.
On the other end of the spectrum, I'm finding ChatGPT is helping reduce the friction of adding unit tests, getting started with docstrings (I usually need to do a lot of work on them though), and type annotations. Plus I've had some luck with handing code to ChatGPT and asking it to suggest clearer ways of writing it.

For example, a few months ago I was rewriting some particularly tricky, opaque code from Ansible having to do with the conversion of symbolic "chmod" strings into numeric. Because I was coming from code that was so hard to reason about (a bug in it took me a couple days to understand and fix), I wanted something really obvious and well tested. ChatGPT helped with that. https://github.com/linsomniac/symbolicmode/blob/main/src/sym...
Agreed as long as the biodigestion occurs in a non-cross contaminating manner.
Sure, but you're not giving enough attention to the fact that this is all happening against the backdrop of capitalism. It's really NICE when stories can be just freely shared and remixed and built from, and we're all richer for that, culturally, sure.

But artists and authors and comedians have to earn a living! If we want their output to be free, we can't expect them to also have to pay all for their inputs and, you know, keep making art!

If we judge art to have value under capitalism, there NEEDS to be a way of protecting that value for those who create it. Alternatively, we could explore alternatives to this whole capitalism thing, but you can't have your cake and eat it, too.
I am still not entirely sure what they are protesting.

So I am going to assume the usual: climate. And lots of yelling about the rich, of course. Because that is easy. Providing actual working solutions are much harder, so you can't get yourself a profile based on those.

Meanwhile there are actual companies (like Helion) working on building actual solutions (fusion energy), and places like Ukraine that is going to start building new nuclear power plants[1].

These protestors likely hate Elon Musk, but they have done a lot less than him to come up with actual solutions.

Sure, but there's no reason to suspect that low gravity does anything interesting to fungi, of all things; and there's ample evidence that it doesn't from previous experiments, intentional and not. Other comments cite instances of the crews dealing with mold on the ISS.
> Another problem I have is that I find there's a common style of JS which consist in daisy-chaining a myriad of methods and anonymous functions, and I really struggle with this. I like to break stuff into lines, name my functions and variables, etc.

I think your whole comment is excellent but I just wanted to tell you, you're on the right track here. Certain developers, and in particular JS developers, love to chain things together for no benefit other than keeping it on one line. Which is no benefit at all. Keep doing what you're doing and don't let this moronic idiom infect your mind.
While I am definitely sympathetic to Taylor Swift, from an objective perspective, this is an example of why it's nice that other regulatory domains like Russia exist that do not have to comply with directives from American regulators. Serving DCMA on Russia just doesn't happen.
If you weren't aware, murder already is illegal. If you also weren't aware, some people get away with murder.

Do we seriously have to drop examples of people who got away with crimes because they were good at not getting caught? Isn't that why Frank Abagnale is famous? You seriously think we've caught everyone? And instantaneously?

HTTP/1 has parallelism limitations due to number of simultaneous connections (both in terms of browser and server). HTTP/2 lets you retrieve multiple resources over the same connection improving parallelism but has head of line problems when it does so. HTTP/3 based on Quic solves parallelism and head of line blocking.

Perhaps this will help people cope. Awareness of the problem will help not being captured by the problem.

If even some hardy Earth organisms can survive (the article doesn't say anything about it, but this was almost certainly survival in a dormant desiccated state rather than being metabolically active doing fungus things) Martian conditions, it slightly raises the odds that whatever microbial life Mars may have once hosted may still exist in protected, hard-to-reach spots – possibly hundreds of meters beneath the surface like a surprising amount of Earth life.

It also slightly raises the odds that genetically modified fungi and lichen might be able to metabolize and grow on Mars at least if suitably protected, which may have implications on astronaut food and oxygen production as well as, much more speculatively, terraforming. Further, it has implications on planetary protection – the measures we take to avoid accidentally infesting other worlds with Earth life.
