This way if the phone is compromised your email is still there.

As far as convenience goes it is convenient in actual practice as an end user. I’m sure even if 1% have this issue that’s billions who are not. It’s cheap and it’s convenient. Your phone gets the message and autofills.

You don’t need to switch apps to check email or something. And your account will always be recoverable as long as your email isn’t compromised. If you lose your email I mean that sucks. But that happens anyway and it’s why people should rotate passwords and set up MFA.

Security can never be 100%. That’s just a fools errand. It should be convenient enough and secure enough that it works for as many people as possible.

Literally everyone else outside of HN doesn’t even care or understand. They don’t need to. Just use the apps to do your thing and move on.

In my experience most don't though, I usually see importing a plain .css file traded as a code smell. That may very well be a limitation of the projects I've worked on, but they have all ended up using Tailwind or a build-time tool for CSS-in-JS or CSS modules.

> it strikes me as fine--if the pilot is incapacitated the plane should be able to land itself at the nearest airport.

The proposal on the table is not to have only one pilot on the flight. It's to have only one on duty during cruise phase only while the other one rests. This way they can skip the full double crew requirement during long haul.

So during takeoff and landing the cockpit will still be fully staffed. And in an emergency the resting pilot can be called. Toilet breaks would be covered by the other pilot too. So the cockpit is never empty. Doesn't sound like such a bad idea imo. During cruise the plane is normally flying itself from waypoint to waypoint anyway. Though I wonder how much quality of rest you can get in such a scenario (having to be woken up for every toilet break etc)

There will also be a remote hands support center, I'm less confident about that idea but as long as it's extra and not counted on it might be a good option.

I have a huge issue with the phone becoming one’s identity.

I often see couple’s using each other’s phones and knowing each other’s passcodes. I’m not sure I could ever trust someone that much. I don’t think I’d even give my passcode to my own mother, and she’s never given me a reason not to trust her.

The worst part about it all is that it’s not opt-in. They just randomly start using SMS as 2FA. If I were to change phone numbers, I’m not sure what I’d even do. How can I change to a new number without control of the old number to get into my account? What happens if I miss one, because they randomly decide to use 2FA on an account I didn’t think to update? It’s a really bad system all around.

I think employers exaggerate their willingness to fire you. It’s risky for them. For example, they can’t fire everybody, so after they fire one person, the next one should be proportionally less afraid of working less.

You’re also not limited to one job. Even people in economically disadvantaged positions can usually get another one if needed.

In other words, it’s precisely this fear that employers are counting on. Speaking from experience, once you face it, it tends to evaporate.
A friend of mine recently related cleaning up a mess at work where the devops staff was let go 48 hours before the new site deployment - not a tech company - but another case of the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
Ultimately, it's just one more point of negotiation.

In a market where labor is scarce, clocking out at <= 40 hours might be no problem, because you're not readily replaced.

But when the balance shifts and your skills are in less demand, the screws are turned, and management is going to start asking questions about who is providing the best value. To a corporation, employees are just fungible cogs, ready to be replaced if they aren't delivering.

Unless you really are a 10x developer (and by definition we all sure aren't) your head could be on the chopping block. If you're a 1x developer, an easy way to get more done than another 1x developer is to put in 1.5x the hours that they do.

That would be like explaining a baking recipe by starting with protons and electrons.

State-of-the-art machine learning architectures aren't actually that complex. Diffusion models and transformers can be explained to a bright high schooler. I'm sure Archimedes and Euclid would have no problem understanding them.

What they might have a problem understanding (or even imagining) is the mind-boggling amount of computation required to make those systems do anything useful. Getting Llama to produce a single token of text takes more calculations than all of humanity did by hand during all of Classical Antiquity.
No I promise you they won't "want one".

RSA keypads were an example. Absolutely free. Hung on keychains. Work well in that it was "secure" and worked, but an absolute nightmare for the banks to manage. UX was equally terrible (sure Yubikey isn't that).

The only way to mass introduce it is require multiple key entites to push and collaborate like your bank + phone provider to push it out for free.

Yubi keys are a logistical nightmare for my parents. SMS is not. For my parents, sticking to something in the phone is good.
I find analysis for this war quite inane to consume. The reality of war is that very often even the participants themselves are not entirely sure what's going on, let alone what will happen. See, for the most obvious example, the Ukrainian counter attack. So I simply prefer to look at what little data we can get that both sides agree upon and use that to get an indication of the broad "direction" of the war.

So for instance the average Ukrainian soldier is now up to 43 years old [1], more than a decade older than when the war began. And Ukraine has been turning to increasingly aggressive conscription efforts, with the military demanding even more. There's now also major friction between the head of the Ukrainian military and Zelensky, with Zelensky looking to replace him. [2] These sort of little nuggets, which are not disputed by either side at this point, give you an indication of the "direction" of the war.

It's the same reason I find Avdeevka relevant. Avdeevka does have strategic value, but what really matters is that it's a hill both sides have decided to die on. It's similar to something like Verdun. Verdun is a completely irrelevant town in France, far smaller than Avdeevka and with much less strategic value, yet hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives fighting over it. The reason the result mattered is not because this side or that now controlled Verdun, but because it was a major bellwether for the "direction" of the war.

I thought the point was that they would intentionally seed the audience with one or a couple of people who would storm out in (apparent) anger (if none of the actual audience members got to it first), and thus the music is the experience of the audience reaction to the piece.

I don’t think there’s such a thing as any truly clean energy. There is always a cost to the environment, whether it be the costs of the infrastructure, the fuel, or the environmental impact of what is actually consuming it. All that compute, which is basically in a constant state of being replaced and upgraded, as a consumer, has real environmental impact.

And for what in the end? To support a fringe economic system of monetary transfer and speculation? Less than 1% of people on earth have ever owned any amount of bitcoin, yet it consumes as much energy as it does? Just in the runtime of the network, not counting all the infrastructure, equipment, etc.

To me this just illustrates the uselessness of the "business model". No "gig" worker can make enough money from "gig work" to justify the time and effort, and if a local government forces the venture-backed "founders" behind this lets-create-a-middleman-for-everything "business model" to pay a living wage, then these cretins will just pass on that cost to customers. They will not pay for labor and take on the risk of a real business. The truth is this "business" is nothing without real workers. The "app" is worthless without real people doing real work. And so people just delete the app. It is not worth anything.

The workers are the value. If the "app developers" cannot/will not pay them a competitive wage, then the "business" dies. The ordinance did not backfire on the workers, it backfired on the middleman-based startups. Ultimately their "business" will fail. What did it cost to write an app and to take money from investors. What was risked. Maybe not much. That would explain the proliferation of these bogus middleman "businesses".
So, I understand the value of tmux for detaching and restoring sessions. What I don't really understand is why I'd want to use something like this instead of tiling and managing sessions / windows / panes within my terminal emulator. Kitty has tremendous support for all kinds of features, including capturing and processing the output from commands, piping scrollback buffers to external commands, scrolling to previous command prompts, searching and highlighting output dynamically, and much more besides. The overlap is significant between tools like this and tools like kitty or iTerm. Am I missing some advantage in putting this functionality on the server rather than the client?
Eventually, I hope so! Gotta spin up the machine a bit more. I don't ever want more than a handful of people working on this I am a big fan of the 2-pizza team, but I know I need to scale to a bit more than just me.

Yeah, because scrapie doesn't resemble a virus, so it doesn't have the same survival concerns. A protein in an exceptionally low-energy conformation is more robust than a ring of RNA, film at 11.

Anyway, fun fact, the prion that causes scrapie is extremely similar to the ones that cause mad cow disease (transmissible to humans) and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (human disease). So yes, we're very, very lucky, so far. Sleep tight.
From the paper:

> "...of the 197 TCs [tropical cyclones] that were classified as category 5 during the 42-y period 1980 to 2021, which comprises the period of highest quality and most consistent data, half of them occurred in the last 17 y of the period (12). Five of those storms exceeded our hypothetical category 6 and all of these occurred in the last 9 y of the record. The most intense of these hypothetical category 6 storms, Patricia, occurred in the Eastern Pacific making landfall in Jalisco, Mexico, as a category 4 storm. The remaining category 6 storms all occurred in the Western Pacific... Fig. 1A shows these 5 storms on the existing Hurricane Wind Scale and our proposed extension."

https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2308901121

Theoretically, increased wind speeds are linked to increased sea surface temperatures, a warmer deeper ocean mixed layer, and more moistore in the atmosphere. However, increased vertical wind shear tends to break up the hurricane's chimney structure, and that might also increase with warming. Hence, a complicated prediction - but if conditions are right, it seems reasonable to conclude that unusually strong hurricanes will become more likely, even if overall frequency is unchanged.

I think E. Coli needs a new publicist. Never having gotten into biology and coming from a food prep background, I assumed E. Coli was a single "bug" that caused foodborne illness... But there are apparently over 700 strains, many of them harmless or even beneficial. Some strains are used to make drugs and other things, some strains produce toxins that destroy your kidneys, this one can make stuff that runs in your genes, and others E. Coli strains only make stuff that runs in your jeans. Pretty amazing.

Yes! And free appraisals if the collection is for sale and I can have an opportunity to make an offer :)

It's a balance of time investment for me. If I know someone has no intention of selling and just needs an insurance appraisal, then that would be a paid service since I'm simply selling my time and expertise (which I'm more than happy to do). If there's an opportunity for me to purchase the collection, I'll usually put the bid together at no charge since that's a sales & marketing expense on my internal brain books.

A lot of dealers will try to split the difference -- they'll offer the appraisal at no charge if they get to purchase the collection, and if they don't end up purchasing then the appraisal fee comes into play. I actually think that's a reasonably fair model and may adapt that.

It is both.

"Memory safe" means that if the user is "holding it wrong", it won't cause a memory error.

In safe Rust, it is impossible to call free with the wrong address (simply by virtue of the `free` equivalent being unsafe, and with the pervasive use of smart pointers to make it practical to stay in safe land).

Similarly even if you "hold it wrong" and use a wrong comparison function in Rust's sort, you might get nonsensical results, but no memory errors.

That's precisely what safety means in this context
Yandex has a far superior image search than Google Image. Google's image search started to go downhill when they removed the "View Image" button so you had to visit the website to see the full resolution image. Google also consistently gives me far worse images in search, and its reverse image search has become more of a joke with all the Google lens shoved into it to make users buy more, whereas all I want is to know where this image came from. Yandex does that and more—it shows "visually similar" images too, which I think uses some sort of AI to detect the objects in the image. So for instance, you'd send a black-and-white image to Yandex and it finds its colored versions, the ones that are flipped horizontally, etc.

My search has become:

- Kagi for regular search

- Yandex for image search

- Google for YouTube search (yes, because YouTube search is a joke, thank you Google)
Back in ~2014-2015 I was looking at making this (worked in Chang Liu's orthorep lab) - the problem was that I couldn't get my hands on the PRD1 phage (which is a fascinating phage - protein primed replication, lipid membrane coliphage). They were clever about how they bootstrapped the system - they just expressed a whole lot of terminal protein and hoped that some would attach. And it did in VERY rare events.

The key word in the definition of exploit is "full" use. To simply use something and derive a profit from it is not necessarily exploitative, as the noted comment suggests.

In the context of this thread, the original claim put forth is that being "used" for 80 hours is in fact exploitative; by one calculation, this amounts to 100% of your waking time in a standard 5 day work week, assuming a typical 8 hour daily sleep period. On the other hand, being used for a 40 hour work week is not exploitative; you still have 50% of your time remaining for non-work life. The math here is used for illustrative purposes, but a reasonable interpretation of "full" would tend towards 100%, not 50%.

Workers are truly exploited in some cases. To label a 40 hour work week as exploitation, in most cases, is simply hyperbole that diminishes the real suffering and ethical issues of actual worker exploitation.
