Hey userbinator,

This comment is a little off topic (but related to Apple somewhat) but I saw in a 4 year old thread a comment from you that said you were in the cracking scene 10 years ago (I guess that would be 14 by now). Anyhow, I am trying to get into reverse engineering iOS apps / ARM64 and would kill to acquire the skillset. It's incredibly hard to find information anywhere about this niche. The discord channels I've found have a couple nice folks but ultimately no one really knowledgeable. And the game hacking forums seem totally dead on this topic.

Would you happen to know any good resources or groups where I can network with the right people to get into this scene? Thanks

Yeah what who knows Haskell, C++, Python, TS, WebGL, React and CUDA (already an impressive list) then just as a hobbyist uses hyper converged storage systems runs databases and uses nix?

I hope covering all of this isn’t a serious expectation, should probably reword if it’s not

That's exactly right it is bearly one step above playing "guess which number I'm thinking of" and acting amazed that if you play long enough you'll witness an occasional winning streak.

Yes, if you are poor you are not worth suing, even if you will surely lose. The cynical term for this is "judgement proof".

Once you have any sort of reasonable income you should strongly consider buying significantly more insurance than the legal minimums.
Probably secret option number 3 of no-one having needed it yet - because the tool is standalone, you can render the required output before running whatever needs to consume it. I’ve certainly used it from Python in that manner - bindings are only required if you want to consume the raw language programmatically from a Python context.
10% of the budget was for story rights? the story was the worst part of that movie.
As long as you can run your own crypto algorithms and freely run a peer-to-peer protocol over the internet, you can mine cryptocurrency. I am curious which of these freedoms you would sacrifice.

Back in the 1990’s, hackers fought for—and won—the right to do whatever cryptographic computation they wanted to do on their own computers while the US government was trying to prohibit strong cryptography and require all secured communications to use a secret algorithm designed by the NSA with keys held and managed by the federal government. The failure of the Clipper Chip and the proliferation of cryptography has been a victory for privacy and a thorn in the side of the FBI for decades. And the entire time hackers and privacy activists have been fighting this fight, the feds and their enablers have smeared them with accusations of enabling drug dealers and pedophiles. So unless you can convince people that crypto mining is even worse than child rape, I don’t think you’re going to get anywhere on that front. Besides, all of the cryptographic algorithms are too well known at this point. I don’t think you can stop people from doing math on their own damn computers.

And that leaves peer to peer networking. While cryptography was smeared for enabling pedophilia, peer to peer networking was smeared for something even worse, at least in the hearts of our government and corporate overlords—downloading music! Now that we have the opportunity to pay our corporate overlords for the privilege of “streaming”, they don’t seem to care so much and this fight has also faded into the background. But what’s at stake here was much bigger: whether or not your home internet connection allowed to be anything other than a passive one-way pipe to receive content from our corporate overlords. And in reality, this question also reduces to the other, because if you use cryptography, no one will be the wiser regarding what, exactly, you are doing with your internet connection.

But maybe this was all just a relic of a forgotten time, when hackers were people who scoffed at the idea that the internet should be locked down to stop people from depriving poor Lars Ulrich of album royalties or whatever. Clearly the moral panics of today are much more pressing than those of the 1990’s, and there is simply no need to just allow people to do math on their own computers. Just one of those silly, optimistic ideas we old fools still hold onto, like freedom of speech. Maybe China had the right idea when they built the Great Firewall.

I like tabular ML, but very skeptical about this research direction.

Language models trained on a broad corpus make sense, as the language is similar across different domains. Time-series, however, are extremely different... Stock prices, heart-rates, brain-waves, digital signals... Patterns learned on a broad dataset should only introduce uninterpretable noise.
That one's not really a spoiler. The heroes set out to do that to win, and it's obviously the type of movie where the heroes win. What's less certain is how exactly they'll get there.
You’re over simplifying. All sensors will do some amount of signal processing before the photosite readouts are written to memory.

Lots of people assume RAW means just that, but raw usually just means pre-debayering. There may still be some amount of noise reduction applied prior to this step. This was a huge deal for Sony sensors and astrophotography for a hot minute.

Yeah, I think that's the biggest part of a lot of disappointing things that have happened and are happening.

There's also a separate factor in some problems, which is that the power and reach of bad actors are increased by tech. To use a familiar and relatively innocuous example, before the popular Internet, virtually no scammers from some developing nation halfway around the globe would be able to reach the US, which would effectively mean a lot fewer jerks in the world, as far as people in the US knew.

I also wonder whether sociopathy is being normalized more or faster than before (at the same time that some positive memes are also propagated). I don't know what would be a good baseline for evaluating, nor whether there are good historical analogs for some of the recent sociopathy -- including that practiced by the tech industry, and that merely enabled by the tech.

I remember guessing the twist almost immediately because the whole plot was a blatant rip-off of a book I had just read in school.

What I like about magit is that it shows me the diff of the would-be commit when I write the commit message. And also that I can pick which sections of the diff to a file I want to include in the commit.

I used Vim + git CLI before and this was much less convenient. (I never tried fugitive though. It might be similarly great on these two features.)
This would affect not only crypto mining but also all datacenters, aluminum smelting, likely any modern or climate-neutral method of steel production, and manufacturing.
>The volunteer community is extremely diligent about finding and deleting any promotional material that marketing companies try to post on Wikipedia.

I think it's much more common for me to see articles that do the opposite. They take some article, find some negative news article and write about them in the Wikipedia article. Especially for small communities where there are no notable publications except for major drama, it pretty much means that the Wikipedia article is going to highlight the negative side of the community even if that isn't actually representative of what the community is actually about.

Exactly this. Pkl is most useful as a type-safe configuration language that can output to any other format (already supported, or put together by the user within Pkl). You’ll always get valid JSON, YAML, PLIST, what-have-you as output. This you can then parse in the language/system of your choice.

Certainly language bindings are useful, and if there’s demand likely someone will create them.

I just use stacked branches and work out of the top branch. When changes are solid -ish I move down a level in the stack and cherry pick isolated changes into small/focused commits. Then I put the entire stack in review with a doubly linked list references so the reviwer can walk up and down the stack to see the corpus of changes.

That way a 1000 line pr consisting of 25 commits can be landed as 5 dependant prs with a much more focused review.

> Really? I can see that for GenAI and Crypto (to my mild annoyance because I was doing GenAI before such people heard of Bitcoin), but not AR/VR.

Actually, you’re right. I haven’t seen AR/VR hyped in quite the same way as the other two. I’m not actually sure why… because it seems just as ripe for hyperbolic claims as any other ‘futuristic tech’. Possibly because the idea’s been around for much longer and has had a chance to burn out before it came close to being practically possible.

Of course, ‘AI’ of the kind popular now is not an entirely new idea either (as you point out), but to the grifters on Twitter it is.

I'm so sorry to those pissed off about the spoilers. I was under the impression that for movies, it is like "about a week-ish" before hinting on spolers, and about "couple of days" for TV episodes!

I've had a 1986 Bally Motordome for decades. It's fun. There are many techniques and tricks to get better, detailed in books and online, and when you have a machine at home, as you say, you can play whenever your heart desires and practice. Playing for a long time has a meditative quality, too, and is a good metaphor for life - a mix of skill and random factors.

As others have noted, maintenance is a bit of an issue, though not overwhelming. The machines are beautifully crafted - maintenance can be fun.
Life is a game. If basketball rules sucked, far less would play and definitely not at its current scale. If you block the game of capitalism you stunt all of the growth and innovation that comes with it. It’s how people tick.
Quite honestly the most valuable tool I'd learned in the 2010s (having been a significant Unix / Linux user since the 1980s).

In the late 1990s / early aughts, I'd written a toolchain to generate multiple document formats from a source based on HTML fragments. With Pandoc (and usually Markdown, occasionally LaTeX), I've discarded all of that, and have greater utility (more outputs, and FWIW, more input formats as well if I choose those).
Raws still have processing done before the "sensor values" are stored, notably dead pixel elimination. It's just (significantly) less processing than the corresponding JPEG gets as most of the processing is deferred until you import it into your editor of choice.
It's really not. The successful individual is an illusion, literally no one succeeds alone. The best strategy for individuals to get ahead is still social cohesion.
I disagree. Or agree, perhaps. The Darwinism is there, but collective behavior and social bonds are still the winning strategy.
From what I have learned about this whole show business / movie business / music business game as played at least in N. America and U.K. (?), the whole thing is pretty rigged and works on a "handshake" basis for the lack of a more loftier term. Hollywood , for the sheer amount of global power it wields, is amazing when you think about how its run like a company town & how little scrutiny it gets overall.

I highly recommend watching the HBO series, Vinyl (2016) about a record executive from the 1970s & the music business then. All those radio hits - that were hit and the ones that werent - you've always scratched your head about make a lot more sense when you understand the inner workings.

less filters are another highly underappreciated tool.

Back in the day there were a couple of utilities (I think they were "catdoc" and "wordview") which could take MS Word input and generate text-only output. Good for reading MS Word attachments in mutt or from a terminal / console / SSH session.

You might find the "edit in vim" extension useful.

I've got it installed on MacOS and Linux, occasionally use it for longer HN comments.

The extension automatically invokes a vim session with the contents of your current browser edit window, and reads back in the output of your vim session when you're done with it.

(Im on mobile- sorry for the brevity/lack of deep demo context, it seems like the demo links dont work super gracefully on mobile)

I clicked into the demo (reference 3 in your post) and I dont get how this is different from any off the shelf OTel solution like Lightstep or Jaeger. Otel already has client side vendors and SDKs (I was the engineer who introduced OpenTracing to Plaid, and we did both). Bridging cross-network traces is literally the point of OTel, so Im not sure why thats a differentiator for you… every system does it.
I'm familiar with the term, I'm just wondering what features of JS as a language necessitates code degenerating into spaghetti. The comment I was replying to was a bit light on technical details. I'm not convinced by someone broadly gesturing at a language and saying "it's all spaghetti code". It just reeks of snark, and feels like a very shallow dismissal of a programming language.
Me neither. But it seems like it’s another (at least formerly) independent site gone. It’s sad to see the modern web being dominated more and more by the big players (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, reddit, Amazon, etc). I’m not even old (I’m in my twenties) but I still remember reading lots of good independent blogs and forums not too long ago.

That’s insanely low! In Portugal the minimum required by law is 6.45 million for victims and 1.30 for property damage, per accident. A policy like this can cost as little as 250€ / year.

Even a bad implementation isn’t going to be showing this warning to people often enough to desensitise them. And if they make a habit of ignoring the warning to post flamewar stuff… that’s solved with moderation by a human. The intent is to add friction for knee-jerk low-quality comments, not solve for people who persistently, intentionally post low-quality comments after a warning.
> considers themselves 'middle class'

They don't consider themselves middle class, statistically they are middle class based on (income, wealth, purchasing power, etc.). They aren't out of touch - nobody asked them - they just live where there's a higher cost of living. But it pays off, or they would move someplace less expensive, and housing would cost the same nationwide.

There are environmental effects. Common sense things can affect performance on IQ tests, including taking the test a second time in short succession (you get better with practice). Certain early childhood education interventions will cause children to over-perform on IQ tests relative to their IQ measured later in life. If the subject has the flu, they will also tend to underperform. The environment definitely plays a role, but the degree to which it is stable is, to me at least, surprising.
I've come to conclude a rule of thumb for (side) projects: if the project includes any form of web app, that part will take 90% of the development time and energy. Since I work in ML and not web stuff (which I don't really enjoy), this is not really how I'd like to spend my time.

Unfortunately, almost every idea I have, even if it deep down has to do with AI or ML, includes some form of web app, because you need some way to interact with the interesting thing. In the end, maybe that means just doing nothing, because with kids and a busy life I just don't have the energy to spend on npm dependency management, front-end frameworks and JS build systems.
