Are you referring to that leaked call? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957 If the leak is true, the people in the call are doing precisely what they publicly said they were doing — trying to negotiate a peaceful political resolution of the ongoing crisis.

As shown by the events which followed, all their talks achieved absolutely nothing.

The resolution of the crisis in Ukraine was neither peaceful nor political. Instead, couple weeks after the alleged call the crisis was resolved after the bloodshed on February 18-20.

Then Russia has launched military invasion, escalating the internal political crisis into an international war. Sadly, the war is still ongoing, despite almost 10 years have passed since these events.

Sure, but that only applies to devices that aren’t being maintained by someone else, and frankly, it’s not obvious to people who have to maintain their own devices and do a better job, so it’s not clear that there’s any particular argument associated with security here.

Just to be clear, I believe that copyleft compliance is important simply because it is the conditions under which the authors made their code available. I just don’t think the headline is honest.
Oh, just recently I noticed they had archived Ignite (within the last few months?), their very handy wrapper around Firecracker. What a shame!
> Fertility rates, at a constant level, are brutally exponential systems which do not 'slow down'.

If fertility rates are correlated to your ancestor's fertility rates, then a decline can "slow down" just because the remaining people of fertile age will be disproportionately from families with higher fertility rates.

Is this true? Even the most incompetent pilot should know at least these basics.
I think the massive blowback the College Board got from "Adversity Scores" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_SAT#2019_introd... would prevent them from doing that themselves.

However they do offer a "Landscape" which provides similar details and many admissions programs use that to do something like what you're describing.

Ooooh, not something i have built, I do want to but suspect someone else has done it better than i could.

A tool to RAG a github repo, so i can ask questions of how a certain library or tool works? Even better if it pulls in issues
I'm pretty sure The College Board (makers of the SAT) have done that analysis. Not sure if they share it publicly, but I'll bet they share it with admissions officers.
Since 2005, with a brief interlude at a company between 2008-2012. Have been a solo freelancer, an employer, in both tech and now real estate. Thinking through some options for the future, but I foresee opening multiple businesses in the next few decades, ideally so there will be assets for my kids to manage someday.

What sustains me? I like to eat and have a roof over my head. Could I have made more money going a different route? Almost certainly. But, life is about tradeoffs.
I believe the point of this post is to introduce their "Use The source" mailing list[0] where they publicly track and encourage compliance with the GPL from vendors who release products containing GPL'd software. It's a spiritual successor to the old gpl-violations.org mailing list.

The security angle is because fixing a vulnerability is a fairly compelling reason why someone might want to update the software in a device they've purchased. Vulnerabilities found in Linux and other GPL'd software often get fixed fairly quickly, but random Linux-based IoT devices and whatnot often ship with ancient versions of GPL'd software and never see any security fixes. ("The S in IoT stands for security.") If the vendor complies with the GPL, then end-users can patch it themselves. But, many vendors don't, hence the need for the new mailing list.

Well if I were diagnosed with cancer and my doctor said 90% of the time chemotherapy was ineffective but that there are no other treatments, I might still consider doing chemotherapy in case I'm in that other 10% of patients. So it should at least be considered as an option. And this is what every good doctor does with every patient -- presents options, lets you know what the risks and benefits are, and works with you to make decisions.

I would be really upset if the doctor didn't at least let me make an informed decision here, even if you think I'm being anti-science by doing so.
the least wrong answer is likely "I believe so".
Rust generally does consider "you're holding it wrong" type bugs to be safety issues. See for example [0], where the Rust developers filed a CVE for (and fixed) an issue in the standard library which the C / C++ communities mostly considered a holding-it-wrong issue.

I’d be curious to see what your set up looks like. How far away is the TV? Is it mounted in the wall or something behind your desk?
Sounds like how I feel in a lot of ways, for me it's due to depression. My depression is complicated but your specific job could be making you depressed, or it's just the (unfortunately common) "growing up roadblock" where at some point we realize we have to readjust our expectations and goals to align with what reality more or less allows us to do.

I've been with my company for 11 years and there have definitely been ups and downs, including me moving to an entirely different department as a trial instead of outright quitting. There will always be compromises no matter where you work, even at a dream job. Most days I struggle to merely exist but my company has built goodwill by working with me instead of mercilessly writing me up for whatever they can to fire me, as I've read about at many places. What makes a good workplace has to do with the work, but more has to do with the business itself and how management directs the atmosphere.

Hopefully this helps without being preachy :)
Lol, as if the name is the problem.

"but the majority of people who have ever broken the law have the same sets of motivation and desires and choices as those who haven't. "

So what? What is your point here? If you break the law, you are a criminal, because that's the definition, someone that broke the law. It's not dehumanizing, it's just saying "a person that was convicted of breaking the law". Good lord, any type of statement, even about eye color, technically comes out as "us vs them". So you're point is shallow and pedantic.
Probably, but there are other variables. Different sets of folks, and the fact that video consumption is not repeated as often.

We've seen a bit of progress recently—they stated in the news that Netflix won this round of the "streaming wars." Disney is thinking of allowing a some things back over there due to being heavily in the red.

Perhaps a sign that selfish-destructive behavior of the cartel has peaked.
Illinois already made it illegal for cops to lie to children during interrogations:

https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/fulltext.asp?DocName=0...

"...if, during the custodial interrogation, a law enforcement officer or juvenile officer knowingly engages in deception."

Hopefully they extend it to adult interrogations.

I just did 10 years in jail waiting for trial before the charges were dropped, partially due to a bogus interrogation (that was ruled unconstitutional by the court) where I refused to talk and they badgered me for 45 minutes after that telling me I couldn't use that right and then threatened my family. That's the point you break, not when the cops hit you with a wrench, but when they threaten people you love.

> Since I started working at a regular job in an office two months back, I don't get enough time to even watch YT videos off of the feed. With the commute, solid 8 hours at office, I barely have any cognitive or physical energy to do any mentally taxing work even if that means learning something new and exciting.

Be kinder to yourself. You're two months into a new job, it takes time to adjust to that. It's also pretty common to work harder earlier in a job to develop a reputation as a hard worker. Reputations like that can stick for years, even as your hours at the desk go down.

There are times in life when it's easier to do things you want, and times when it feels like it takes everything you have just to keep everything from falling apart. Don't try to overextend yourself when you're at your limits, recognize the limit and give yourself easy goals. Spend 5 minutes a day on something instead of lying to yourself and trying to do an hour. Do one hour a week instead of one a day. When you have more time or the work you're doing is motivating, it will get easier to continue doing it more and more.

Most importantly: don't feel like you NEED to do any of that stuff. Do it if you want to and it interests you. It's a lot easier to motivate yourself to do something you find fun, than something you don't really enjoy but feel like you "should".

Well, for one, you don't just throw your hands in the air and say it's an impossible problem.

This is true, rent control adds a complicated calculus to it. At first they were doing things like "first month free" to get around it, but the city caught on and made that against the rules too. I wonder if they've looked at how that affected vacancy rate.
It depends on which you'd rather have come out of the police: false negatives or false positives. Both can potentially ruin someone's life.
If the DB fails to assign an ID, it's probably broken, so having an external ID won't help you.

If you're referring to not having conflicts between distributed nodes, that's a solved problem as well – distribute chunked ranges to each node of N size.
"Widjosumarajzer" = video summarizer

It's just a hodgepodge of prototype scripts, but one that I actually used on a few occasions already. Most of the work is manual, but does seem easily run as "fire and forget" with maybe some ways to correct afterwards.

First, I'm using the pyannote for speech recognition: it converts audio to text, while being able to discern speakers: SPEAKER_01, _02, etc. The diarization provides nice timestamps, with resolution down to parts of words, which I later use in the minimal UI to quickly skip around, when a text is selected.

Next, I'm running a LLM prompt to identify speakers; so if SPEAKER_02 said to SPEAKER_05 "Hey Greg", it will identify SPEAKER_05 = Greg. I think it was my first time using the mistral 7b and I went "wow" out loud, once it got correct.

After that, I fill in the holes manually in speaker names and move on to grouping a bunch of text - in order to summarize. That doesn't seem interesting at a glance, but removing the filler words, which there are a ton of in any presentation or meeting, is a huge help. I do it chunk by chunk. I'm leaning here for the best LLM available and often pick the dolphin finetune of mixtral.

Last, I summarize those summarizations and slap that on the front of the google doc.

I also insert some relevant screenshots in between chunks (might go with some ffmpeg automatic scene change detection in the future).

aaand that's it. A doc, that is searchable easily. So, previously I had a bunch of 30 min. to 90 min. meeting recordings and any attempt at searching required a linear scan of files. Now, with a lot of additional prompt messaging I was able to:

- create meeting notes, with especially worthwile "what did I promise to send later" points

- this is huge: TALK with the transcript. I paste the whole transcript into the mistral 7b with 32k context and simply ask questions and follow-ups. No more watching or skimming an hour long video, just ask the transcript, if there was another round of lay-offs or if parking spaces rules changed.

- draw a mermaid sequence diagram, of a request flowing across services. It wasn't perfect, but it got me super excited about future possibilities to create or update service documentation based on ad-hoc meetings.

I guess everybody is actually trying to build the same, seems like a no-brainer based on current tool's capabilities.
They also get you for parking. My wife went to a concert and the parking was $250 - more than the ticket.
I'm ~10 years in as a full stack product dev on brown and green projects for ~100 big and small clients across a range of sectors.

Previously, I worked as a back-end dev in NYC in the media sector - initially at half a real salary because my employer decided to take a gamble on a n00b dev with a degree in writing - and then as a suit wearing front-end dev consultant in the finance sector for 2 years altogether.

I love the flexibility and the range of work. I have had partners and employees but am solo again and enjoying it. My spouse has good health insurance and a more traditional career, albeit one that has required a move every 2-3 years, and that helps quite a bit.

You will save yourself a lot of grief if you can build up your credibility and a good stack of relevant and wide-ranging contacts before you start. Bad clients can cost you more than money.

If you are considering it, be honest with yourself. Many, many folks are better suited to a more structured work life. Advocating for yourself AND your client's best interest is no small challenge when you are solo. Finding a niche, whether in technical expertise or industry focus, will help significantly.

Also – I highly recommend adjusting not just your rates but your billing structure to create more value for clients and better work. E.g. I now have tiered support plans – and tbh if I were based in SV and 10 years younger, I would probably build a SaaS to make it easier for more folks to do that.
Thanks so much for the story

I want to, but I have no idea what hobbies to pickup or where to search for places where people hang. I walk for hours to fill the void, but I end up feeling even sadder.

Whoever figured that caching will save HN's perpetually melting server is about to have a heart attack.
I think you can argue that this still isn't fair.
I can answer this with some authority. I just did 10 years in pretrial and looked through the cases of thousands of people in detail.

I would say 95% of people who are indicted are guilty of something related to the indictment. Often not exactly what is in the indictment (overcharging is rife), but guilty of something. What we need to do is charge people more accurately. Overcharging is used to elicit guilty pleas on lesser charges.
The concept IIUC is both sides have zealous advocacy - both sides leave no stone unturned, no argument unmade (generally speaking) - and through the court procedure, that's how a fair trial and the truth come out.

How else do you propose doing it? A system - in sometimes highly distrusting, dangerous, and angry situations - that relies on good will seems unlikely to work. Advocacy accepts the adversarial nature of the issue.

Countries do have different systems. France relies more on judges somehow, but I don't know if the accused gets an advocate.
You could solve this in two ways:

1. Allow companies to advertise a price exclusive of tax (but inclusive of fees)

2. Require companies to list a single total price where the final price the customer pays is less than or equal to. So their advertised price would be inclusive of the highest tax rate the customer would be required to pay.

The oft-cited tax calculation "problem" is just an excuse.
I'm saving this thread to get all the possible places to find a bride for future me. (I'm 21 and single).
I suspect it has to do with western military industry shifting towards premium low volume products since the end of the last war, perhaps because making weapons of war had been weird to some people lately. They don't make hand portable or vehicle mountable 7.62mm or .50cal or 14.5mm mini-CIWS, only the multi-trailer ship-sized versions that are total overkill for drones.
I can't imagine not acting as a witness to an accident (especially hit and run).
> I am 24, young, and naive.

when you are just starting your career, you're not just working, you're learning how to work (ideally through mentorships, but typically through just building experience in your field)

over time, you'll find yourself building up skills and being able to finish 8 hours of work in 7 hours, then after some more time it only takes 6, and eventually half of your work day becomes reading articles and 'learning'

it's not an on-off switch, but a steady progression towards supplanting your busy work with 'smart' work, good luck :)
Charging is so close to being solved, that I don't think we need any new boondoggle. Just build more infrastructure and modern batteries.

For road trips, Nio has 10-minute battery swapping stations, but modern 800V BEVs can be recharged in 20 minutes.

City use is an even easier case, because most cars will spend hours parked somewhere. If not at home, then in a parking garage at work. There are street-side chargers too. In many cases you don't even need a fast charger.
> India for example has a ton of different taxes and until a few years ago the differences between states and different products were significant

India has two, maybe three, levels of taxation: central, state and maybe local. In America, you may have dozens of overlapping cities, counties, water districts, school districts and high school districts before we get to municipal, state and federal.
In the US, driver's licenses are issued by states. Aside from passports, we don't really have a national ID card. Historically, attempts at creating unified national databases have run into opposition from religious fanatics whose end times mythology says that such things will literally be a tool of the Antichrist.

EDIT: Yes, there are other groups/ideologies that also think that having fifty or so separate state databases for a basic administrative function is better than having one federal database. Not sure how much political power sovereign citizens or libertarians have compared to evangelicals, but consider yourself counted, I guess.

Many people misunderstand how software is written in regulated industries, and assume that a standard is necessary. In practice, this is not the case. Note that Ferrocene[1] had to produce a specification[2] in order to qualify the compiler. But there isn't a requirement that it must be a standard in any way, only that it describes how the Ferrocene compiler works. Nor that it be accepted by upstream.

The latter.

I can think of a very small handful of cases where the prosecution drop marginal cases. I've seen cases where there is zero evidence be taken all the way to the day of trial in order to try and get a plea. I see a great number of cases dropped on day of trial when the defendant won't plead out.

I doubt it, I think you would get much more access to much more data much easier if you manage it properly. If you put their data on the street there are no friendly nations. Other countries can also easily insert their people and access everything. The effort is much more worth while. Bad people can evade persecution much easier with access to their file.

It's easy to pressure people but if they don't have access or if it sets off the alarm it's pointless.

Yes, this is a problem LLMs present that I didn't see coming, but is obvious in hindsight.

If LLMs are good enough to do what people expect them to, the natural result is the destruction of the ability to trust anything that is written. That means that yet another aspect of what makes society possible is gone.
