The problem always comes down to lack of responsible use. Great, you learned a lot. Others are using it for harm. So now we have a problem.

Look at the state of CB radio. Anybody can buy and use one. The airwaves are clogged with the trucker equivalent of YouTube Poop. It's like being in a fucking mental hospital.

Ham radio requires licensing. There are still cranks but now there's a barrier to entry for most of them. It's still usable.

Lockpicks are illegal to carry in parts of America, unless you're a licensed locksmith.

Look at the state of the internet, 1997 vs now. The difference is we onboarded everybody.

Broadly speaking, trolling/crime (and tools to perpetrate it) should not be frictionless. Attacks on infrastructure (malware, etc.) are getting too expensive and social attacks are basically free to execute and costly to respond to.

You can bring any western company to a grinding halt by getting a bunch of entry-level stooges to file false workplace violence and other complaints indiscriminately in bad faith. There's no cost or consequence for this, and the company will panic trying to accommodate in good faith, but do the same with police reports and everyone gets charged with misdemeanors for abusing the system.

Unearned privileges are always abused.
I am on Pixel 8. Stock launcher seems so much better than anything else.
Ask HN: What makes a good online course?
For me, the shorter courses are better. I like the brevity and focus.

What makes a good online course for you?
The Guardian never publishes a link or an academic reference to the source of scientific articles it pretends to quote.

As you say, it also waits until a reader notices factual mistakes, the other ones just slip through. Last point, you don’t have any backing to conclude that their mistakes are honest, and not the result of intent of bias. Given their bias is always in the same direction, I do not believe for a second that The Guardian isn’t putting its thumb on the scale when they only reproduce the part of scientific studies that goes in their editorial direction, conveniently leaving the rest unsaid.
This is called simulation and it is a useful tool both when selecting for and training for cognitive skills.

Importantly and usefully, simulations for cognitive work do not require any sort of physical fidelity, so it's really easy to set up basic scenarios like for hiring.

(The main cost in using simulation for training lies in designing scenarios that train for expertise. That takes slightly more advanced elicitation methods which fall under the umbrella of cognitive task analysis.)

Ask HN: Tooling for Learning to Play Piano?
Hi, I'm an aspiring piano player and I was wondering what tools are available beyond the very-beginner level. I used a lot of Simply Piano, and enjoyed it a lot, but of course when I got a real piano teacher she had to disabuse me of all the bad habits I picked up from just learning via the app.

But something about the way piano teachers teach piano doesn't properly click in my brain. I was very excited by Museflow which seemed to have a brilliant idea for teaching sight-reading by procedurally genreating an infinite amount of music so that everything you play you're playing for the first time. However they only seem to have one very basic course available to me.

I've noticed that when my piano teacher leaves me with some music to practice at home, I often mess up but don't realize until I play it for her and she corrects me. So I'd also like to be able to upload sheet music and play it, ideally having it grade my tempo and notify me of incorrectly played notes.
This is a great answer. Thanks for taking to the time to post it.
Would it be more fair if they said “only using search one time to process training data” or something like that?
Drachinifel is pretty darned knowledgeable. I imagine its not that easy to get enough footage of some American WWII destroyer that is NOT a Fletcher class, (as a made up example), to fill out an entire 45 minute narration. And there's a shit ton of work that goes into a video that long for a solo creator.

Now, the abysmal nature of name brand corporate history videos is another matter.
given the epidemic of sexlessness and general delay of adulthood among young people I don't understand the demonization. Smoking, drinking and getting into some trouble have been important rituals for a long time for a reason.

Now we've traded it in for solipsistic, depressed, pill hooked anti-social teens because of an obsession with health at the cost of everything else. The pandemic of course did its part to accelerate that trend. Hitchens anticipated it a generation ago.

Your body will recover from some stupidities in your teens and young adulthood, having your mind glued to your phone instead of having a real life for your formative years, not so sure.
American parents are allowing their children to be made so stupid and pacified by TikTok that China won’t need to go to war. The US will just not engage and China will be able to do whatever they want.

Edit: yeah downvote away, I don’t care. People need to speak up about the garbage that kids are watching on these apps. If adults want to ruin their minds with this trash, fine, but don’t target kids.
Tenet has a dictionary definition; as far as I can tell there's nothing to suggest that it's specific to some industry-speak concept.

If one is being super pedantic, tenets and principles aren't the same thing, but they're very close in meaning to each other.

The linked page contains examples of both tenets and principles, and uses the terms interchangeably in the title/intro.

Tenets are positions/beliefs/qualitative statements presented without proof. "The web matters", "No one cares" are examples from the OP.

Principles are related, but more like guidelines or instructions. "Optimise for vibes" is an example.
There used to be tours of the Detroit Salt Mines, and indeed the Detroit Salt Company is still alive today.

Near the "Uniroyal Giant Tire" [1] off of I-94 is a small tunnel that goes under the freeway. Not the same as these, but, well, as interesting as the freeway tunnel I suppose.

CueCam Presenter solves this quite elegantly: You can prepare a script with a card for each window you want to share. Then you can just select the card during the presentation and it will share just that window.

I also have a single large screen. So I put the CueCam window on the right, top to bottom. And the windows I want to share in the bottom left quadrant. There I can make them smaller, with the correct aspect ratio, so that participants with smaller screens can see all the detail they need.

That leaves the top left quadrant for my meeting window where I can see the meeting participants.

I'm also experimenting with the two companion apps: Shoot to use my iPhone camera and control zoom from CCP; and Video Pencil to draw on my video.
So there's a colorable argument that the popular vote is not a reliable indicator of public opinion (though: as someone involved in local politics where most of the advocacy seems to involve "working the refs" by trying to convince electeds that the people support something starkly different than what they voted for, I remind you of the distinction between stated and revealed preferences).

But the popular vote here was brought up as a rebuttal to your claim that Trump's electoral success, which was a pure product of electoral gamesmanship (I mean that here in a value-neutral, descriptive way), was an indicator of a cultural shift. If the popular vote isn't an indicator of the public consciousness, the Electoral College can't be either; it is strictly less representative.

I don't think the Democratic party has ever been as unified on immigration as you're implying it is here, but that's neither here nor there.
Nobody loves talking to a genuinely morose person
FYI, that is NOT what genuine Microchip DIP markings look like. Compare, for example, https://www.lcsc.com/product-detail/Analog-To-Digital-Conver... .

Also there is zero chance that some of them have bottom-marked lot codes and some don't, given the same top date/facility code. Dead zero. And the cavity IDs on the DIP molds should be the same style, not randomly mismatched.... I'll stop here, but this is classic gray market remarking stuff. These are random old chips that have been relabelled.

They may well still be AY-3-8910s in there -- the gray market is very creative -- and may well be usable for you, but be cautious. If they look like they're misbehaving, the chances are much higher than usual that it's not your fault.
A good interview should be a good fit for both parties. Just have a casual lunch with them. You should be able to tease out if they are a good fit. These “hacks” are so ridiculous. Way to overthink something.

> other than: it makes migrating to competitors cost-prohibitive in a subset of cases

My theory: it forces third party services into the same cloud.

Suppose you use AWS and you want to pay a third party SaaS provider for some service involving moderate-to-large amounts of data. Here’s one of many examples:

https://www.snowflake.com/en/data-cloud/pricing-options/

And look at this remarkable choice: you get to pick AWS, Azure, or GCP! Snowflake is paying a lot of money to host on those clouds, and they’re passing those costs on to customers.

Snowflake is big. They have lots of engineers. They are obviously cloud-agnostic: they already support three clouds. It would surely be much cheaper to operate a physical facility, and they could plausibly offer better performance (because NVMe is amazing), and they could split the cost savings with customers. But they don’t, and my theory is that egress from customers to Snowflake would negate any cost savings, and the variable nature of the costs would scare away customers.

So my theory is that the ways that customers avoid egress fees makes the major clouds a lot of money. IMO regulators should take a very careful look at this, but it’s an excellent business decision on the parts of the clouds.
I remember spending some time writing some kind of wrapper for converters from dtd and w3c XML schema to relax Ng compact. Then nxml handles the rest.

If I recall correctly it probably just litters my nxml schema dir with whatever I happen to edit.
I'm not railing against the advice, I'm against the argumentation. This is not really clear from my previous comments -- I should've stated that context more clearly.

The post suggests that scientific methods are at the basis here, but in essence it is just listing socially accepted norms that are obvious to anyone.

Take for example the illustration on competence and likability. The research might be good, but the diagram itself shows no results, just a definition.

And am I to believe that FBI hostage negotiation is applicable to a friendly conversation I'd like to pick up with my neighbour? It just all makes very little sense.

So, yes, smile, listen, be friendly. But no, do not abuse "science" to support this.
I read the article, what mind opening tactic did the author explain to the public?

Appears to be blogspam.
So Ukraine can’t have choices without russians getting all murderous about it but it’s fine when Finns and Swedes do?
> This is why I like Go and the stdlib. Its very much "do it yourself" unless we are talking about monumental libraries for very specific applications.

I took this to mean that Go's stdlib required a lot of 'do-it-yourself' implementations.
I'd say that it's better to use real programming language, but you shouldn't use it in JSX beyond the simplest statements like ifs and loops.

Mixing any logic beyond that with HTML makes a mess of both.

I'm personally a fan of minimalist templating engines that provide only simple loops and conditionals so that template has to receive prepared data tree which is created by the actual programming language first and passed into the template.
Personally I love leetcode. I do it on Sundays like others do crossword puzzles.

But once upon a time these leetcode interviews made a ton of sense. Just getting your program to run at all was basically a leetcode exercise.

see for example: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/03/war-stories-how-princ...

I have my war stories too. It was fun but frustrating. Definitely not as productive as today.

Early 2000s internet was kind of like that too. The web was huge relative to what we had to work with and there wasn't the kind of products/services available then so asking leetcode stuff had a logic to it.

Admittedly, that's not where we are now for most programmers so it makes sense that the interview process should adapt.
I'm a fan of smart launcher. It has 8 gestures that you can map to frequently used apps (or various phone activities), and supports both searching by app name and browsing by app category. It's weird that Google haven't innovated much in their default launcher, but I really like that I have the choice to customize.
Same, had an old house in Michigan that would otherwise have been prone to filling up with orb-weaver type spiders if not for the centipedes. They’d also quickly vacuum up the wolf spiders that would try to invade whenever it rained.

Apparently house centipedes can live for up to about 7 years, and need a few years to reach breeding age.
Their cap is very high though. 1TB/mo would cover a lot of small to mid-size businesses depending on their use case.
this is definitely a thing that should exist
Thank you @armchairhacker, @dave4420, @zargon.

The reason I've asked is because (And I am not totally sure about this [I am a neophyte, sorry if I say something silly), it seems to me that at some point functional programming (After all the mental contortions) feels like imperative programming. And I found all these applicative style, point-free style terms.

"Why functional programming matters" is on my reading list (later this year), my main interest in the topic is related on how programs can be written in the most simple and concise way, where code is what matters and not the programmer's cleverness. Compiler people go through... You know what, nobody asked me. Let's turn this into a blog entry instead.

In the meantime, thank you very much!!! I will definitively take a look at those projects.

> It's very finely ground volcanic rock.

Wikipedia is pretty clear that it's finely ground fossils. (It also says that it's sedimentary rock, as is necessary for fossils. Fossils can't be volcanic rock; their structure would be destroyed by melting.)
They collect and send the filenames on your disk, and other arbitrary stuff. Why not?!
I just wanted to share how strange was reading "between 3/4 and 1 3/4 grams of agar"

That's.... Weird, using fractions while talking about using grams

Anyway, for a solid gelatin I usually use not less that 0.5% agar and 1% is the upper limit.

It does produce a "glassy" gelatine and not really my favorite, I usually do use 50/50 agar and xanthan gum and the texture is like animal gelatine.

Pro tip: use a blender. I tried everything and solid bubbles still form, it is the only way to get a foolproof uniform gel for me.
That’s been clearly disproven for like a decade… you just need to have your effect monad structure be indexed by the set of symbols in question! Especially since the effects are baked into the language. The transformers formulation is only relevant for userland defined semantics!

It doesn’t matter if the monadic structure is there in user syntax, it’s there in the semantics.

> Simply acknowledging that childhood trauma has some consistent effects and being 60% right

The book is far from limited to childhood trauma. It is any event that leads to overreaction of the sympathetic nervous system causing increased cortisol downstream that the body struggles to adapt to. This can be consistent micro-stressors or singular major events. No requirement for them to have happened in childhood.
Yeah it's strange, they've clearly been relabeled and maybe only the top two I tested are real. Even if that is true I still have a couple of new toys to play with. I'll test the rest tomorrow.
Not sure I buy this argument. Typically when society aims for moon-shots, the intermediate discoveries improve the quality of life, sometimes dramatically. It's an unknown unknown. Only exploration can turn it into a known unknown. Maybe the AI chip fails, but we discover a more potent source of energy that's cleaner than petroleum.

I personally don't think Mr. Altman is capable of such moon-shots, but am supportive of moon-shots in general.

The concept of the public space is also eroding and it is overshadowed on these forums by privacy advocates.

Privacy is indeed important but only up to the limit that it intrudes upon the public accountability necessary for a republic to function.

We seem fine with letting governments and large corporations know where we live and how much we pay in taxes yet are hesitant to make this information public due to fear of our fellow citizens. That is a complete erosion of social trust and cohesion.

Someone please put a science-fiction sheen on the death of the public sphere. There is more than the dominant 1984-inspired narratives at play!
A few years ago I had the pleasure of spending 10 weeks in hospital, which as well as having bits dating back to 1860 and being extended every couple of decades, is also attached to the local uni. The only way I stayed sane was spending my nights exploring as much as I could, made all the more exciting by having to crawl up stairs and drag my wheelchair behind me. I decided very quickly that "no public access" signs didn't apply as I wasn't a member of the public, I was an inpatient.

Elevators are particularly interesting. You might need a key-card to get onto the 4th floor, but it turns out that for efficiency half the elevators waited on that top floor. Get into elevator, read book for 5 minutes, wait for it to reset, go home and let you out in the restricted section. Or this entire floor is locked off from the stairway, but the floor above is open and the elevator lets me go down a floor and get out.

It's honestly amazing where you can end up, especially if you combine boredom, time and a bit of a can-do attitude. One of my favourite games was using the stick from an ice-lolly (sold from a machine in reception) to jimmy the lock on badly fitted doors. I also found an ebay pair of scrubs to be really useful once I'd worked out how to get into places - you'd go down a corridor, have people stick their heads out of doors and start with "Hey! You can't be down her---oh sorry doctor". I ended up reporting most of it to security just after I got released. They refused to engage, but had swapped out all the locks when I had a check-up a year later.
interesting. I have had a nectarine demoscene radio sticker on my last fridge. Didn‘t know there is so much more. Thanks!
There are differences between Quake and driving. One would be respawning.
What you’re describing is far more complex than an LVT. Interstate records of property ownership and interstate reconciliation of “presence?” Do children or family members using a property for 30 days count?
Most of the pioneers responsible for making these companies what they are today departed over a decade ago.

I haven't heard a single convincing reason why these companies have so many employees, especially since none of them have accomplished anything in the same ball park as their predecessors.

When I hear "these are the best in the world" I laugh and walk away. There's better things to do than listen to idiots chest beat, attempting to justify their credentials. Real elites don't waste their time with the unimpressive and mediocre because they understand the real elite have achievements that speak for themselves.
China could just stop selling cheap Chinese crap to U.S. companies. That alone would put Walmart and "Scamazon Crime" out of business and our economy would implode, no war required.

As far as an AI war, I imagine dueling GPTs who cannot say anything hurtful to each other due to their system prompts. It would still be more productive (and potentially more entertaining) than crypto mining.
Is this right outer hand on the sketch?
Thank you for creating Svelte. I have basic web dev experience using no-framework. Is there any high level overview article explaining how Svelte compiler transpiles Svelte file into a series of html,css and javascript and wires them up together?
1. TPM is Common Criteria certified to about a chip bank card. I think 5 or so on CC eval.

2. Many, if not most, consumer motherboards wrongly implements TPM and easily reveals secrets to a logic analyzer.

3. I am yet to see th TPM that is not on that situation AND/OR has several side channel problems.

4. SoC method really just makes physics a problem as die nanometer shrinks; but even before that, not think implementation well through from a mindset like the problem solving mind of an experienced, skilled hacker and end up implementing bugs in hardware format.

TEE and the likes are no exception. DPA, DFA, Accoustic analytics, pick your SCA poison when you are done with the weak math or usual code suspects like buffers, data type overflows, logic bugs, etc. Fault injections and bounds overwriting are classic bugs with endless ways to abuse the given situation.

MS has been known to shit the bed coding, over & over. The fact is you never know who sees opurtunity where closed source corp culture only sees $ in the short term: Nobody will ever know & the bottom line better.

5. Knowledge is power, ignorance is dangerous. That's how you end up implementing your idea of defense & end up with someone else's idea of a doormat.

6. Never underestimate hubris, ignorance or man's capacity to persuade himself to be lazy or any combination there of.

If you cannot and have not inspected it you should not trust it. </blog>.
I mean, it's the same as selling a rent-stabilized building today. No, you can't kick the tenants out when you sell. You often sell at a significant discount because of the problem to profitability that the tenants pose. This is fine.

NYC is full of vacant land. You can kick cars out of a parking lot and turn it into a 50 story residential skyscraper without any problem. You can tear down nearly-abandoned office buildings and replace them with housing. Tearing down a building where people are happily living is completely unnecessary. Profitable? Sure, it can be. But the city is under no obligation to making housing profitable. Housing is infrastructure; does the city make a profit by charging tolls on roads? Nope! They don't need to; they exist for the public good, not for your 401(k) plan.

Plenty of people are making TONS of money on brand-new buildings. In the 12 years I've lived here I've watched Downtown Brooklyn change from a forgotten wasteland to the home of the tallest building in Brooklyn. The neighborhood is full of $1M studio apartments (and up for more space) and they are sold before the building even breaks ground. People want new stuff and they can afford it. It doesn't have to come at the cost of existing residents.
"HN types" can't get rid of perl either. So just use perl if you want to. Personally I think perl is a terrible language and that anything which is too complex for a shell script (which is most things) should just be done in python. But if you disagree, it's not like anyone can stop you. If your issue is "my teammates hate it and want me to use something else", I promise you they will be just as annoyed if you use awk.
