If the site is generating real looking IDs using fake data then it won't be of any use for voting. When you vote they check your name against a list and if it isn't on the list you can only cast a provisional ballot, which will get tossed later when your name fails to verify. Penalties for in-person voting fraud are also very stiff so this is not a likely scenario.
Hey everyone!

Just wanted to share my Vue.js implementation of GPT agents, which might be a great example and a jumping-off point for those interested in agent capabilities. It's an Electron app that enables agents to read files and execute URLs. You can create and tweak agents while monitoring their "thought" processes.

Recommended to run in a safe environment, though the risk of data leakage is more theoretical than actual!

Also, carbon tax will be needed when we get all of the low hanging fruit. Solar, electric cars, and heat pumps make economic sense. But there are things that are hard to decarbonize like shipping and airliners that will need to be forced to use green fuels instead of the cheaper fossil fuels.

It would be better to start now with low tax and increase over time as we decarbonize instead of introducing it in a couple of decades at a high level. For one thing, the funds can be used to incentivize switching or help with problems.
I believe nightly edition and/or developer edition lets you install unsigned addons. Also there's a way to get an addon signed for private non-store use - can't speak to how that works, as my current project isn't quite to that stage yet.

Langchain and Llama Index both have classes to read a directory, if you git clone, and perform a RAG.

If you want it to scrape a github URL, there is a module for that too!

"Do I have a chance of breaking into this?"

In my experience, the success stands and falls with how well you can grasp technical topics and explain them to people who have less time than you to learn them.

I know a bunch of good writers, who never got far, because their technical understanding wasn't enough to write guides/tutorials/explainers.

"Do you worry LLMs are going to put you out of business?"

Not yet. I use LLM every quarter to write an article, and they've always been bad.

"Very broadly speaking, could I make $150k doing this"

Probably.

An article makes you between $500 and $1000, depending on the length and quality. If you could write 200 a year, that could work.
There is very little to suggest that the prosecutors are so massively incompetent as to only have a 50% hit rate.
The submitted title was "Without software right to repair, your devices are not secure". We've changed it now, in keeping with HN's title rule: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

If it had been a sentence from the article itself, we might have kept it, because "Prioritizing software right to repair: engaging corporate response teams" doesn't say much. But I couldn't find that language in the article, and it seems you couldn't either, so it's probably best to stick to the rule in this case and revert it.
Extracurriculars are by and large a scam. I became vice president of a few clubs, started a UNICEF chapter at my school, etc. But I made almost 0 impact on the world because we only raised like $200, most of which was from me and my family. The proof that most people don't actually care about these things is that they quit them the day they start college. Maybe participation in something like ISEF is a better signal. But not National Honor Society membership (which I of course had, because that's what you do).

No one can verify the accuracy of letters of recommendation and teachers routinely break the rules by showing them to students. In some cases I have heard of teachers asking students to write them (!).
Being guilty of "Something" in the indictment is also a far cry from being guilty of the indictment. For instance, the difference between possession and distribution.
Ballparking it based on the relative LOC of v8/src and v8/src/wasm, about 8%. That's for everything WASM though, not just the SIMD support, and it's a fully optimized and production-ready implementation.
Dealing with something new demands a lot of energy. On top of the rational side of the new role, there is an iceberg of social learning and anxiety. You are not only finding your space in this new tribe but crafting it in every new interaction. Give yourself time to fully immerse in this challenge. In my opinion, is more important to use the after hours to take care of your personal life and build mental resiliance. In time, your curiosity for new topics will surface once again.

Incredibly localized and subject to personal biases/ambitions for the prosecution. So sometimes you will see a huge majority of cases under certain categories dropped to boost their numbers (or because it makes sense, like the generally unlawful arrests during the George Floyd protests) and sometimes you will see an insane stacking of cases that will never win in order to boost other numbers and project a 'tough on crime' persona. See: Horrible Dickhead-Sheriff Joe Arpaio (sheriffs in many places have large overlap with prosecutors' duties)
Just don't issue a number to identify a person, issue a number to identify a record which has their god-given and church blessed christian name. Problem solved. Seriously, the number on my government id is called "record number", as personal number is too haram.

Unless of course the real push to sabotage it comes from people actively interested in having fraudlent ids in circulation or rely on undocumented people to do low-paying jobs, or something.
Yeah, it's a problem but it's made worse by the fact that on a lot of cars there doesn't seem to be a huge difference between high or low beam in terms of brightness to oncoming traffic. I've seen cars dip their lights, but if you blinked you would have missed the difference. I used to be proactive about dipping my lights when I knew there was oncoming traffic but I learned that if I did that, the oncoming driver almost never dipped their high beams so now I make sure that they have a clear view of my lights before I dip them and it has significantly increased the reciprocation because I guess it signals to them that I did indeed dip my lights.

OTOH, I get flashed by other drivers often when I don't have my high beams on and I don't have after market lights. Ironically, it seems to happen less when I drive the car with the brightest lights (Land Rover LR3 HSE) because it seems to shape the beam best to keep the light out of the opposing lane. It happens the most when I drive my 2005 Mustang which by far IMO has the poorest road illumination of any vehicle I have access to drive.
I did most of my first MS degree part-time over a few years of my early 20s, while working full-time on pretty intense software development. I was seriously sleep-deprived at times (for one period, frequently had to dig fingernail painfully into hand during morning class, because was getting microsleeps). And I went from having a great girlfriend, to not having a social life for a long time. I wouldn't recommend this, in most cases.

Some ideas:

* Make sure you're getting good nutrition, exercise, and sleep. You need your machine working well near-term, and long-term.

* Is your office job sedentary? Are you alternating with standing desk, moving around? Is the office job draining because you're using your brain, or because you're not using your brain, or because you're unhappy, or because you're stressed?

* Is all your time at the office job productive? Can you reduce the time it takes to do the work, change what the work is, or reduce the time spent on non-work things?

* Can you get rid of your commute? Or at least switch it from driving or hectic hopping between buses/subways, to transit where you can focus and read a bit?

* Are you getting frequent good interaction with friends & family? It should be energizing, mood-boosting, and supportive.

* Can your office job accommodate some of the learning you want to do? (Especially work-related: learn a new tech skill, get a part-time MBA, etc. Or do they do tuition-reimbursement and schedule flexibility during the day for taking college classes?)

* Relaxing has value, but are there "relaxing" time sinks that aren't worthwhile, and you'd be happier and better off spending much of that time more productively. Maybe it's too much video games, or too much video streaming, or too much social media (including HN).

* Don't over-stress yourself. Powering through stress has long-term costs.
1. I don't think you need a neural network to produce the image of a fake ID. The right tool is some scripting around ImageMagick and whatnot.

Where AI could come into the picture, so to speak, would be in cleaning up a random selfie photograph that is not suitable as an ID photo, into an ID photo. Changing the lighting, removing the background, and perhaps adjusting the facial expression.

Using AI for the remaining textual parts of the ID would only lead to defects.

2. An image of ID printed on glossy photo paper (which I'm guessing this is) is not going to fool anyone who asks you to take your ID out of your wallet. This is only good for flashing in someone's face to get into a club.
I like this reasoning. Everyone should be born in jail and then work to get out, not the other way around.

If that happened in Washington I would love to know which judge so I can vote someone else in when the time comes.
At least Progressive have an option for a device that connects to the ODB2 port. But either way, the system of discounts in exchange for more accurate driving data already exists. It is just a matter of a business deal working out between the automakers and insurance company to have it built in.

Although, I do not see it as necessary. Cars with cameras will automatically start having lower insurance premiums, and so you will see people opt to buy cars with cameras (eliminating the inconvenience of having to install a dash cam by yourself).
> Why bother with NFC if the phone itself has secure enclave and a biometry check to lock it down too?

There have been a lot secure-enclave exploits against both Apple [1] and everyone else [2], and fingerprint readers can also be bypassed. The Secure Enclave itself has a giant attack surface and is highly complex. (That however does not stop dreams of "digital driver's licenses" and whatnot, though, but that's another question)

In contrast to that, ISO 7816 smartcard stuff has been in use for decades, and (unless it's Javacard...) a very limited complexity. It's rare to see something else other than sidechannel attacks.

1) The performance saved is negligible in many cases, for most footguns. Sometimes it's of no benefit, or slower than safe solutions to the same problem.

2) There's no reason to not just have the footgun be opt-in rather than it being the default approach, if performance does matter so much

3) Why is trading safety for performance the right decision in the first place? It's funny to compare the way software engineers talk about software with the way any other kind of engineer talks about their domain, or even how software engineers talk about other domains.

How is this supposed to work:

" ... if you say that X is wrong we throw you in youth care, you get put in a place little better than a summer camp, among criminal youngsters, with 2 adults per 30 kids that don't bring you to school, don't help with homework, where all your stuff is stolen, and we use the police to arrest you if you ever decide to leave until you're 18, when you'll likely have failed all your schooling and be thrown into the street ... "

You cannot be honest to kids about youth services the way it currently exists in the US, in any state. That's just absurd.
I don't think it's undefined behavior though. Looking at (the working draft of) the C ISO standard, I don't see a requirement that the comparison function must be transitive.

The closes thing there is 7.22.5.2 §4: "If two elements compare as equal, their order in the resulting sorted array is unspecified"

So I'd say blaming users for a bug in glibc isn't fair.

Sadly the current iteration of WASM GC is still too limited for stuff like JVM or C# garbage collection semantics without jumping through a lot of hoops. I'm optimistic that in a few years there will be an expanded version of it that more runtimes can adopt, though.

#1 is a pet grievance of mine though. The intentional choice not to build mmap or read-only pages into the WASM memory model is really frustrating.
> Purjury is supposed to be serious. But it's not enforced against police officers. [...]

> So why should I believe, if this law passes, anybody in the justice system will enforce it?

I haven't read the text of the bill, but according to this article, evidence obtained during an interview where the cops were lying can be excluded. This forces judges to consider the evidence during pre-trial motions in limine, and if a judge errs in allowing such evidence, that error can be appealed. That doesn't 100% solve this issue, but if enacted this will provide a real remedy. And trial judges hate to be overturned on appeal.

I'll grant that right wing virtue signaling is more likely to be encountered in the physical world (e.g. the ubiquitous flag waving from the back of a pickup truck), but there's not exactly a shortage of it on Twitter either.
> It’s worth acknowledging a crucial part of this story. Dartmouth admits disadvantaged students who have scores that are lower on average than those of privileged students.

I imagine that for Google, one path that would make sense would be 1) upgrading their C++ to Carbon and then 2) making sure that the Rust + Carbon interoperability is solid.

All Ukrainian regions have voted for Ukrainian independence in the 1991 referendum. All the way until 2014 there wasn't actually any relevant pro-independence movement in Crimea or Donbas, until the Russian soldiers showed up, and dictated the course of events, of course.

Sal Khan, who started Khan Academy in 2006, was a relative latecomer: "Flipping the classroom" was pioneered in part in the 1990s by Harvard physics professor Eric Mazur — and Dr. Mazur has said that it's a variation of law-school Socratic method that's been around (with pre-class reading instead of video) since the 19th century.

Interestingly time bounding myself makes it more fun because I look forward to coming back to it vs getting tired of it

Sure, you're describing how to navigate a broken system, but what you're really doing is victim blaming.

Having to position yourself and jump through hoops, including getting a lawyer involved to change planning code, in order to get a shed installed in your own back yard, is absurd.
And what does an operator put into the system when hearing "I don't have one?". Yeah, this. This is on purpose.
Currently, the prosecution wins the majority of cases because they can get a plea bargain regardless of guilt. I agree with you that this is wrong.

But, to me, the prosecution shouldn't take on cases where they don't have good evidence and they should drop cases if it becomes clear they are wrong. If prosecutors did this they'd still have a very high win rate.
You are conflating prosecution communications with interrogations. It is not legal for a police officer or detective to say what you quoted. It's akin to legal advice, which they do not do anymore if they are smart. This bill does not address the prosecution negotiation/communication.

"Smaller consultancies" are actually really hard. Especially if you want to deal with larger companies with the type of $$ to pay for consulting. Instead of doing the work you love you end up in procurement and payment hell.
There is no good way out of the situation where both sides are armed to the teeth. The best bet is a political failure of one of the sides.

If that does not happen, these sabers will be rattling from time to time. If Russia's (and China's) immediate borders are packed with countries armed to their teeth, there would be wars.

Buffer states happen for a reason.

I believe USA kind of understands this (see how they reacted to Cuba) and EU surely understands this too (see how Sweden reacts to any signs of Russian militarization), but they have trouble projecting it on other countries or still believing they can coerce these countries into "dealing with it".

Currently I have mainly been using it as a tandem conversation partner for a language I'm learning, but it can be used for many more things. As it is right now, you can use it to bounce ideas of, practice interviews, and help answer quick general questions. You just need to tell it what you want.

Is this as much of a non issue as I think it is? I'm thinking non structural bits of aluminum fuselage having a few extra holes is embarrassing but probably easily fixed/painted over and not that critical. Not generally a reason to get all upset and replace the part. But kind of embarrassing to have on a new part (i.e. get a discount).

I've been watching a lot of rebuild rescue on Youtube lately where a bunch of mechanics are trying to rebuild a decades old plane nicknamed the bird house (because birds were nesting in it for well over a decade and they got absolutely everywhere). That seems to involve a lot of rivets, usage of all sorts of power tools, cleaning up old lots of parts, and generally not being too delicate banging things back into shape. Massive project and makes you realize just how complicated even a relatively small plane is.
You mean users were not able to log in ANYWHERE!
It is far easier than this framing, though. They already have to worry about high variations in every other cost that goes into what they are doing. Heck, running an ad campaign will have variable costs that are also based on location of ad.

Which is all to say that dealing with variable costs is part of doing business. That they are currently able to dodge responsibility for some things by attaching them after the fact as "fees" is kind of upsetting to me. Consider if you had them send out a service unit to fix a line in the neighborhood, and they decided to line item send you a fuel bill for the work. Was something they always had to deal with, but finding a way to keep an expense from cutting into profits by directly passing it to users is a touch crazy.

Agree 100%. This might very well mean that my current (which is my second) Model 3 is my last. The gear selector is annoying but it's possible I could overlook that detail if the rest of the car is executed flawlessly.
I charge my iPhone 13 pro (2021) with zero regard for battery health, and mostly via Qi, and iOS reports battery health at 89% which is much better than the expected -10%/year (I say expected because Apple will replace your battery if you lose 10% capacity within the first year).

I charge my Tesla whenever, usually limiting to 90% but doing 100% maybe 10% of the time. 2021 model, Teslafi shows 8% capacity loss.

Anecdotally I'm just not convinced that modern batteries with modern BMS need my micromanagement. Dealing with raw cells (18650s and the like) is a different story, but phones -- no way. But I'm not going to look down on someone if they feel passionate about it.
