Warning: $14k BigQuery charge in 2 hours
This website makes it seem like this “public” dataset is for the community to use, but it is instead a for-profit money maker for Google Cloud and you can lose tens of thousands of dollars.

Last week I ran a script on BigQuery for historical HTTP Archive data and was billed $14,000 by Google Cloud with zero warning whatsoever, and they won’t remove the fee.

This official website should be updated to warn people Google is apparently now hosting this dataset to make money. I don’t think that was the original mission, but that’s what it is today, there’s basically zero customer support, and you can lose $14k in the blink of an eye.

Academics, especially grad students, need to be aware of this before they give a credit card number to Google. In fact, I’d caution against using this dataset whatsoever with this new business model attached.
Not OP, in my case OpenAI does not want my money, they only accept credit cards. For example netflix wants my money so they have more choices.

Also I would like to pay for an equivalent alternative that is less censored, like ChatGPT had a bug one day that it refused to tell me how to force a type cast in TypeScript, it showed me a moderation error. So I want an AI that is targeted for adults and not children in some religious school in USA.
Intel is currently trying to find out if it's everyone. The whole point of announcing the idea of dropping the old modes years before you plan to actually do so is to give a chance for people to speak up if it's a problem.
FWIW, the majority of the recently updated repos seem to be Python https://github.com/orgs/capitalone/repositories?type=all
That's correct, but so what? So does Tor. The US isn't a single unified entity. They get some funding from groups that promote encryption. Gov still wants encryption for their own people and for people in authoritarian countries (it's hard for normal people to overturn an authoritative government when all communications are watched. No need to discuss CIA). But also remember there's plenty of US gov groups that attack Signal too. Just saying "US funded" isn't strong enough on it's own. The gov has it's hands in everything so it's too noisy. You'd need to make an argument about it's dependency on that money, which they aren't. Records are public btw, they are a nonprofit.
I believe what the grandparent comment meant was that you can't run a server that participates in the public network, not that you can't run a private server. That was my prior understanding, at least.

I might very well be wrong, and if so, someone please correct me.
* Basically everything FromSoft has put out - roll, roll, slice, roll, roll, slice

* Breath of the Wild - boring temples, lifeless empty world

* Escape from Tarkov - unplayably buggy, awful servers, generic assets and models

* The Witcher 3 - good, but generic third person adventure/exploration

* As someone else pointed out, Baldurs Gate 3 - incredibly generic fantasy universe and fantasy trope story

* Skyrim - incredibly generic fantasy universe and fantasy trope story

* Minecraft - actually innovative, creative, and unique game. What LEGO bricks were to kids in the 80s and 90s, minecraft is to the 2010s and 2020s

* Dwarf Fortress - cool indie game

* Path of Exile - a decent game in a dead genre. bad story/art style. only noteworthy thing is the gameplay is tight, but so was Diablo
Telegram has had this for a while no?
Cool that it's now a usable SDK. Afaik there was nothing when I made this a decade ago, but perhaps I didn't look in the correct places or asked the correct people.
The moment OpenAI learns of the loophole they will patch it. Just like youtube takes down infringing video, OpenAI has to keep the bot from regurgitating the whole work.

OpenAI's business is not based on regurgitating the work. It is based on providing output derivated from those works. No buys an OpenAI subscription to get the AI to give you an existing book. People buy it to have OpenAI generate the next original book.
This sounds similar to the phd student in anthropology I had as a friend nearly two decades ago. It’s been the dominant view in social sciences for a long time and it comes out of critical theory [0], which stipulates that truth is a function of power, rather than empirical observation. It was incredibly frustrating when I would mention basic scientific observations to my friend and he would respond with a kind of polite, but detached acknowledgment, as if I told him my preferred flavour of Skittles candy.

> OpenAI signs Sora generated videos

What stops me from stripping out their signature, and replacing it with my signature? What stops me from running a video through a Canon camera, signing it with the key that's registered to me in their servers?

And the outliers is where interesting footage will often come from. Few people in my web of trust are likely to happen to catch breaking news on their phone.
That's a very different point.
You're talking about iOS. We can only judge these things in context. What was the first Android version where everyone could receive updates for the OS over-the-air, not going through a computer + USB port? And when did Apple support the same for iOS?
I don't THINK there is a way to do it straight from the snipping tool, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It can be done from the screenshot tool. Take the screenshot, and an icon will appear in the lower-right corner of the preview. Click that icon and it selects all of the text in the preview.

If you don't want all to select all of the text in the window, just select the text in the image the same way you'd select text in any other program.

I find it easier & faster than having to deal with Preview.

OCR is system-wide on macOS without Preview.

This is exactly what they do (except they use AGPL): https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
I've linked to public documentation that is pretty clearly in conflict with what you said. There's no wiggle room in how AWS describes their service without it being false advertising. There's no "ah, but what if we define the entire building to be the host computer, then the networked SSDs really are inside the host computer" sleight of hand to pull off here.

You've provided cryptic hints and a suggestion to watch some unnamed presentation.

At this point I really think the burden of proof is on you.

I wish I did. I currently work at a startup with our core offering being ETL, so I've learned along the way as we've continued. If anyone has any, I'd love to hear as well.

Keeping raw data when possible has been huge. We keep some in our codebase for quick tests during development and then we keep raws from production runs that we can evaluate with each change, giving us an idea of the production impact of the change.
> it’s common knowledge that most faculty today are de facto activists.

Whose common knowledge? I have never heard the argument that most faculties are activists.

This argument is a classic ad populum fallacy [0]. Using it to characterise (and discredit) and entire group is not a honorable thing to do.

I don't disagree with the assumptions made here, but the conclusion is bad. Titan is likely unihabitable for life as we know it. There are plenty of extremophiles here on Earth that live in places we wouldn't expect life to exist, but we know that they can because we found them.

If we make conclusions that we cannot find life on Titan, then we never will because we won't be looking. Life could be thriving on Titan, but we won't know unless we look for ourselves.

Also, for all we know, Titan's oceans are loaded with organic compounds that are don't originate from the surface. We don't know what the actual internal structure of Titan looks like because we lack the data.
Is it? On Twitter and discord people see a different name than my username. Username tends to be more for connection and display name for identification. While I get the argument I don't see why this is a big deal.
This is a funny speculation, but dopamine role is scientifically pretty complicated and not as simple as such articles and books portray. Moreover, evidence is really lacking about simple statements like "screens are bad" and "addiction to tiktok because of dopamine" yada yada. Check with any serious neuroscientist, and most would not agree to this overly simplistic view.

The book "dopamine nation" is myth-making enterprise, for example, see https://sluggish.substack.com/p/the-myth-making-of-dopamine-...

Moreover, there are many things that counter such arguments. Tik-tok length grows, and some are 10 minutes. There is a lot of edutainment content on tiktok. About physics, astronomy, history etc.

And overall it is pretty weird author making such arguments on the long-read platform that is rapidly growing in popularity.
That really doesn't require that much complexity.

One can simultaneously be impressed by the engineering while wondering if this level of custom implementation at what will probably be pretty low scale really makes sense.

Here's some unsolicited feedback. Sorry that it's public, but I hope this helps other people as 1:N broadcast format:

- Bold is good, but it's too much.

- Never use underline in a CV. Lines and boxes are OK if they break up sections.

- Color tends to get lost and could trip-up some document scanners.

- Two columns is kind of cramped and doesn't work well with résumé scanners. Instead, put that stuff at the bottom.

- Center name (first and last), title, and city. Make the intro tagline shorter.

- English copy writing - Reduce use of hollow adjectives and adverbs like "actually", "really", "especially".

- Tech differentiation - Name specific, hot frameworks beyond just what everyone else lists. 2010-2015 it was C++, Java, JavaScript, and SQL on every darn résumé. Zzz.

- Business impact - Excellent! This is what makes software engineers valuable. Try to introduce specific cases where you solved a problem. Especially gold moments are where you saved the business significant money, shipped features fast, or were the hero.

- Github links - Awesome! If it finally makes its way to a real hiring manager who coded or a tech lead, they can get a sense of how clean and understandable your code is.

Remember that if you give a technical recruiter your résumé in .docx or .txt format, they're probably going to edit it before sending it on to hiring companies. Please ask the recruiter to let you see and approve changes because you don't want them to exaggerate or lie about your qualifications.

Also, you can disintermediate the role of a technical recruiter if you have good social and sales skills to work with HR and hiring managers of hiring companies. This requires a bit more ambiguity navigation, patience, assertiveness, and finesse than is customarily expected of a job candidate. Remember that if you go this route, you're there to deliver a helpful, assertive, customer service approach facilitating their hiring pipeline to fill their open jd's/req's. Follow-up, ping gently with exponential backoff, and inject a little humor to keep life interesting.

Bring good vibes and find a situation that's most interesting and comfortable for all.

PS: What really helped me early on was a life lesson where my parents forced me to sell candy bars door-to-door in residential neighborhoods. Thousands of doors. Rejection is a muscle to be built up with numbers while being careful to create and nudge interest towards "yes" with care.

Problem with that is that

earliestBeginDate

means that you can request a no-earlier-than begin date. iOS does not guarantee it will run ON that date, or within x time-units. It merely provides a minimum delay until it MAY get scheduled.
Even the real version is the app is a software wallet right? If you have almost 500k in BTC and do not have it on a hardware wallet and use their official software for it, I have to say it's at least partially on you if you lose it.
> If you're familiar with a database-backed web framework like Django or Rails, it'd probably take a weekend to re-implement the original Facebook. Do it and see if you get any traction.

The issue is not whether it can technologically be built easily. While I always chuckle a little bit whenever developers say "It can be built in a weekend!" (in classic fashion...), my issue is not that it's technologically challenging. Of course the hard part with any app like this is getting the network critical mass, which is a very hard problem.

But my point is really to argue against this being a consumer led difference in preferences. This is really an issue where, economically, the tech powers that be have found that hijacking our dopamine pathways via TikTok/etc. algorithms is more profitable than a "come in and check on your friends"-app.
>Without compiler bugs, on stock Linux, you can achieve the same thing via /proc/self/mem.

The documentation addresses this case specifically: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/os/unix/io/index.html#p...

"Rust’s safety guarantees only cover what the program itself can do, and not what entities outside the program can do to it. /proc/self/mem is considered to be such an external entity..."
My 2¢, as someone who tried using WhatsApp once and ran away screaming:

WhatsApp requires you to give it access to all your contacts (your entire address book) in order to use it at all. This information is uploaded straight to Facebook’s servers where they’ll inevitably use it to place your WhatsApp account in a social graph so they know who you are based on your contacts. I found this to be unacceptable so I uninstalled it.
That seems like a big opportunity for other cloud providers. They could provide SSDs that are actually physically attached and boast (rightfully) that their SSDs are a lot faster, drawing away business from older cloud providers.
TARP should have come with extremely strong regulation and bearing teeth. Fire the executives, claw back their bonuses and cancel their golden parachutes, and where proven to be culpable (which we now know, wouldn't have been hard to prove) should have served lengthy prison sentences. Essentially, bankrupt the boardrooms and executives involved and you send a very clear message about tolerance.

There is no reason the decision makers at the top should have been able to use TARP cash to pay themselves bonuses.

Its not all about the money, at the end of the day. Its what you do with it.

It should have had more strings attached. The banks should've been broken up again to undo the nonsense de-regulations from the 1980s and 1990s that exposed "main street' to such speculation in the first place.

Mind you, if individuals or smaller organizations did what the banks did, we would call them pyramid schemes and fraudsters and arrest all of them and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law, not bail them out to continue business as usual
Honest sites always succumb. That's why this question is being asked in the first place.
Thanks! Streamlit is really cool and is obviously mature and successful. It seems to be influenced by Jupyter notebooks and data science practice. It aims to be like Jupyter notebooks but in code? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hyperdiv is a generic framework with unrestricted layouts (but you can use a template if you want), and a component architecture where all components, whether UI components or internal state, are fundamentally similar and expose stateful props.
What's changed is that newer versions of the OS hide the file proxy icon by default. You have to hover the cursor over the title for a second to see it, or to interact with it. Before, it was always visible, and ready to be clicked + dragged.
The art of pollsters is to produce results reflecting the hopes of whoever commissioned them, but with just enough even-handedness to look not-obviously-prepackaged.

I do this sort of thing a lot, for a bunch of websites I need to use for work. I make tables sortable with DataTables, add buttons, add important info, fix formatting, make things clickable, move things around, sometimes I add whole new UIs. I mainly use TamperMonkey, as I like the built-in editing more than ViolentMonkey (though it still has its problems).

A spam account is a fake account that sends spam. Like Bitcoin bullshit. Platforms like signal, Whatsapp, telegram, and others have an issue since you can just message literally every possible number. One way signal handles this is by not identifying that you even have an account unless you accept the message. There's also rate limiting and other stuff going on. But I'm pretty sure you know that a spam account is. If you really don't I'd love to learn how you use the Internet because I'd love to learn how to avoid these accounts. Twitter and Gmail loves to connect me with spam accounts.

>historians don't just make up stuff to scare people - otherwise they'd have more fun and money being fiction writers like Stephen King

Historians don't want to scare people as a terminal goal. They want to scare people as a means to an end--promoting their ideology. Being Stephen King might scare more people, but it would fail to accomplish that end.

And most of it isn't literally making stuff up, it's failing to mention some things and overemphasizing others, making things sound more or less certain than they really are, implying connections which may not be true, etc. It's like journalists--they can mislead without actually telling literal lies.

Also, some of it is motivated reasoning, not lying. They honestly believe some things, but they honestly believe them because it's convenient for themselves.
Are you aware of any projects for this? I began to build my own but quickly saw that the context window is not large enough to hold the DOM of many websites. I began to strip unnecessary things from the DOM but it became a bit of a slog. L
These are great points. It would be like if a race of flying / buoyant aliens studied Earth's upper atmosphere, and decided that it wasn't sufficient for life, while ignoring that life isn't really found until you get to the surface, and most of that life is found under the surface.

There could be a habitable zone deep in Titan's oceans. I don't even know if "habitable" is the right word, because the concern seems greater to do with the genesis of life, not the sustainability of existing life that might have existed on Titan for millions of years already, from a time where perhaps conditions were very different from what they are today.
Interesting. And would you happen to have the numbers on the performance of the local SSD? Is it's read and write throughput up to the level of modern SSD's?

I've worked for a large tech company at an intermediate level for a couple years.

As far as jobs go no complaints! Great pay, great benefits, smart coworkers, but at the end of the day I'm finding myself demotivated to the point where it's starting to effect my work.

It's difficult to find the meaning in building the important piece of infra we work on. We have lots of users within the company and it relies on our software for doing some important back office stuff.

It really sucks, because I've been lucky so far with avoiding layoffs, paycuts and other big problems the industry has rn. I grew up lower middle class, missing housing payments/food during the Great Recession so it's hard for me to give up on a job that's objectively a sweet deal to go chase something else down knowing how bad things can get.

I'm curious what the HN crowd thinks, or what coping mechanisms you use if you've been through a period like this before?

I take time off to avoid burnout + side projects/hobbies, and have a therapist. Doing all of that is really helpful, but hasn't fixed the problem for me.
