I was the one who made the call to bring in CrowdStrike. It had zero to do with PCI/DSS or any other compliance obligation. It was to 1) bring in a team with deep experience with a broad set of breaches; and 2) to make sure our team didn’t miss anything. The CrowdStrike team were first class and it was good to confirm they didn’t find anything significant our team hadn’t already. And, for the sake of clarity, no system breached touched customer credit card or traffic information.

> But it sure would be a shame if your failure to take those industry standard measures caused you to fall short of "reasonable measures" to protect your users.

Sadly, there is no such thing as reasonable measures anymore. You can't flag on keywords because they keep getting appropriated to obfuscate darker behaviors.

Monitoring everyone's entire conversations at all times to disambiguate the context does not scale and is not reasonable by any definition.

And that assumes voice and text media only-- if Zuck gets his way and everything goes VR, now you have to infer behavior and intent from 3D models. Is the one aggressively crouch-standing exercising, "dancing," or teabagging another user?

> “These senators don’t actually care about protecting kids, they just want to control information,” one teenager posted. “If congress wants to protect children, they should pass a ... privacy law,” another teenager said. Others in the server accused the lawmakers of “trying to demonize the CEOs to push their ... bills,” which were often described with profanity

The biggest failure of the internet was in empowering children to normalize sophistry as a means of domestic discourse. Small wonder so many are estranged from their families; nobody can work with bad actors.

But yes, buddy. When the problem is kids learning better ways to starve themselves or commit suicide, giving them more privacy to do it is exactly what they need. We adults are clearly too stupid to be responsible for you.

Quoting children as a source of validation for your narrative is about as bottom-of-the-barrel as it gets. Shame on you, Washington Post.

> More than 100 human rights and LGBTQ groups have condemned the bill, saying it would endanger minors, especially LGBTQ youth.

As proof, they quote an article that makes the same vague claim. It's a tautology of bullshit.

If you have a kid so at-risk, you should be monitoring them more than most, not less. I challenge anybody to actually do it. Deploy MDM, look at DNS requests, look at their browser history. Take their door off the hinges and confiscate their belts and shoelaces. Your gay kid is in danger at all times, right?

You'll find what media calls "sex education" for gay kids is literally-endless streams of smut and pornography they're consuming on Tumblr, Reddit and AO3 (4chan is surprisingly underrepresented). It's a modern take on telling your parents you're upstairs studying when in reality you're just jacking off in-between naps (and insisting you don't have time for a job). Keyword: GOONING
I mean this is like when people recount working with Steve Jobs: “he yelled at us a bunch but he also had a real eye for perfection that was really important in making sure we were doing the right thing”. Was he a good manager? Obviously the part where he knew what was good and what wasn’t could be part of that argument. But was the yelling necessary? Could things have been done without it? Should a good manager make the most of what they have or should they advocate for changes to that? I think that’s a relevant question. If you want to feel good about the way you went about something I’m not going to stop you but it seems like a relevant question to ask since a lot of people who do say this end up being absolutely awful managers. You could approach this with, say, “I focused on my employees’ job satisfaction” or “I made sure they felt their voices were heard” or whatever but just going “my employees were paid less” and expecting a different response is kind of naive on your part.

No I don't think so, I do think something's just difficult to say because of what they can't say, or they just neglected to say/didn't word it well, or something. i.e. a bug in the writing, not the post mortem itself.

Because if you take it exactly as it's written it's just too weird, I'm not a security expert with something to teach Cloudflare about err maybe don't leave secrets lying around that aren't actually needed for anything, that's not news to many people, and they surely have many actual security people for whom that would not even be a fizzbuzz interview question reviewing any kind of secret storage or revocation policy/procedure.

AIUI, the reason the name was changed is that they're not necessarily calls to the supervisor. E.g. they could be calls to machine mode, or the hypervisor. And some chips only implement M mode.
I don't think that structural problems with incentives require any sort of conspiratorial thinking. If you give individual users the ability to flag or downvote posts to tank their discoverability, it is possible for a disconnected group of users to decide to flag a post for less-than-legitimate reasons, even if they're not communicating with each other.

It's a different flavor of Reddit's "downvote for disagreement" status quo. The rules might say one thing, but the behavior of users says another.

I've seen multiple people on HN espouse this idea over the years. Likewise, if you are in a place that has tech meetups / and entrepreneurial ecosystem, I guarantee you'll be able to find people who have followed this path. Think of what an entrepreneur without tech skills would do - they would have to find someone to build their product. You've just got a leg up by virtue of also understanding what that hired person or team is actually doing.

Funnily enough Nordic populations tend to leave home before Americans, so the American figure is even worse than they look.

Don't just tell people to look up figures - cite them here please, and why they should overrule the figures saying as many or more Nordic people own their homes than Americans.

The climate was much less sensitive to CO2 before the Quaternary because the feedback loops that drive the Ice Ages go away at higher temperatures. Once the current climate crisis is averted and our understanding of climate is much greater, we may realize just how close we came to Snowball Earth.

I like your question, and I cannot answer it. But I have a benchmark: I can write a Markov chain "language model" in around 10-20 lines of Python, with zero external libraries -- with tokenization and "training" on a text file, and generating novel output. I wrote it in several minutes and didn't bother to save it.

I'm curious how much time & code it would take to implement this LLM stuff at a similar level of quality and performance.

The 10-q is there in the SEC website[1]. The summery is a quick read[2]. Just read it like you would read a textbook. Read the same for APPL, GOOG, AMZN. Do the same for two other sectors. In total about 20 companies. Very quickly you see the patterns emerge.

In the context META, here is a quick summary
Besides the sequential increases of MAU, DAU, DAP, MAP, One thing that stands out to me is:

"We anticipate our full-year 2024 capital expenditures will be in the range of $30-35 billion, with growth driven by
investments in servers, including both non-artificial intelligence (AI) and AI hardware, and data centers as we ramp up
construction on sites with the new data center architecture we announced late last year."

Thats a lot of investment mostly in NVDA hardware. Expect NVDA to rise. This also means good for other suppliers, AMD, INTC, TSMC. The benefit for META will be apparent in a few quarters.

Good Luck!

Anvil (https://anvil.works) | Senior Developer | Cambridge, UK | ONSITE, VISA | Full-time/part-time/flexible

We make an open-source web framework, an online code editor, a GUI builder, and a PaaS hosting platform. Together, you can build and host a full-stack web application - and all you need is a little Python. (Yes, even the client-side code - we compile Python to JS and provide a GUI framework!)

We’re looking for an experienced all-rounder to work on the core Anvil platform, with a focus on the back-end. Our stack is mostly Clojure, Javascript, Python, Postgres, and container tools – but we're looking for someone who isn't afraid to jump into something you haven't used before.

You’ll be working with other seriously good all-rounders, including the founders (relevant PhDs, kernel contributors, builders of backyard dancing fountains) and senior colleagues (eg: a former maths teacher who reverse-engineered our drag'n'drop editor to build more UI components), as well as our other developers and developer advocates. We're bootstrapped and profitable, with a small, smart, friendly and diverse team.

Building dev tools is great! We're solving problems we've experienced ourselves, our customers are developers just like us, and platforms have the most fun engineering problems.

For full job descriptions, and to hear what it's like working here, go to https://anvil.works/jobs.

We work hybrid (in the office Tue-Thu, wherever you like Mon/Fri). If you have questions, I'm a founder and my email's in my profile.
Surprised at the lack of discussion in the article around Patreon. Some of the points around the need to self-promote for artist are valid. But the popularity of funding individual(s) to produce niche content is now surprisingly mainstream.

The quote . . ." a loose collection of YouTubers and influencers who feed slop to their younger audiences." particularly sneering. There are many successful Youtube channels that produce long form quality content, but this probably applies to a lot of TikTok(?).

Anecdote - Discovered my parents, who are older, but not technologically inept, both have favorite youtube channels, Premium, and support their patreons. Which I thought was only something those of the internet generation would do.
The Quest 2's hand tracking is so bad as to be literally unusable for me.

I just cannot get it to reliably recognize pinching. It's like only half the time, and sometimes I have to pinch like ten times in a row until success. Or the act of pinching also moves the hand off the item you're trying to click.

And then certain things your on-screen hands just can't reach. Super unclear why. But I think something to do with trying to map hands close to you, to an interface button visually one or two meters away.
Fine now, but I was out of work most of 2023. I was not prepared for this market.

> And if you're doing okay - what advice can you share to help those out there who may be struggling?

I hear the market isn’t doing much better. I was saved by the grace of a referral, but I’m confident remote work is dead for most reach workers. Part of the reason I was out of work so long was that remote was my one hard requirement. I was willing to take a massive salary cut for a remote role, but could never make it past the first round. For on site roles (which I honestly used for interview practice) I usually got much further. Even the job I managed to get started out hybrid, and now upper management is slowly trying to claw us back in full time, despite being warned of retention issues.

It is not the complexity of WWW that give you Widevine.

It is the need, or the greed, to monetise every view of your screen that give birth of Widevine. [0] This is because DRM is already applied to IPTV way before company start streaming video over the internet.

Also Widevine doesn't force you to watch ad. Last check Youtube is not doing server side ad insertion yet. meaning even if the main content is DRM protected, the AD is not part of the main content (and protected), and so it is technically possible to download the main content and stitch them back together without the ad.

I don’t want to sound alarmist, but in recent years I feel that the post-WWII way of life in America is undergoing severe stress. The cost of health care, higher education, and housing have reached their breaking points. To speak in more specific terms related to the article, the cost of driving has gone up substantially in recent years. It would be easier for many Americans to cope with these costs if our towns and cities were better suited to accommodate alternatives to driving, but many aren’t, unfortunately, and those that are tend to be very expensive.

I think American society is destined for a “reboot” where we make radically different changes regarding housing, transportation, higher education, and other aspects of society, where the status quo is becoming too costly to maintain. We should work quickly to find solutions and make a smoother transition, lest these issues turn into a full-blown crisis, which I fear in some areas has already happened, as evidenced (albeit anecdotally) by the massive increase in homelessness I’ve seen in California’s cities in recent years.

No, it's the researchers who first claim their work is applicable, in their papers, in lectures, etc. I have read entire books with titles like "Applications of X" and later discover all the claimed applications were unrealistic.

Hardy was a prickish snob who claimed in that book that any math that can be applied is dull.

> Complex in that they built so much more functionality into the device than was really needed. This thing is covered in sensors; it's got two scales, ostensibly for measuring the weight of the hopper and the weight of food dispensed, a pair of infrared sensors to detect when the hooper is empty, sensors that monitor the motor's turning, and others that I haven't figured out the purpose of.

I'd love if Surefeed, a competitor, had gone the way of shipping more sensors. Instead, they just monitor the current going through the motor to detect if the lid is closed or opened (the current will spike when it reaches either end position)... and the motor is relatively powerful, powerful enough in fact to shred the plastic gears. It's laughable - this thing consists of a few pieces of plastic, an RFID antenna loop, a motor and a tiny PCB, but costs 160€.

"Elite panic" is a term coined by Rutgers University researchers Caron Chess and Lee Clarke to describe the behavior of members of the elite during disaster events,[1] typically characterized by a fear of civil disorder and the shifting of focus away from disaster relief towards implementing measures of "command and control".[2]
