I consider myself to be rather good in my field. Which is exactly why I take every bit of data I can get before I provide my opinion or decide something.

Every situation is different, facts change, so I have to evaluate my opinion each and every time (which is hownypu learn and bevome better). And the more data I have, the easier this is.
In combination with forced changes, it leads to…

They get a significant markup for providing this "service" to the receiver, so it is not in their interest to help the sender. More charitably the actual duties to be paid might not be known until the package reaches the border at destination.
Fortunately NIST has specific advice that recommends against that which is admissible in court (in the US). I'm not sure how to work through the bureaucracy to do this, but your company should sue them in court for incompetence to get their money back.
> Yes, it defaults to enabling their advertising features

It does not, you have to opt in.

You are right in the rest of your comment thought. And in general, when you compare default configs, Brave does far more to protect your privacy than Firefox does.
Fair enough, but you do get paid so that isn't a broken promise or anything, it's just not that much because their ad network hasn't really been much of an ad network. I had it enabled for a while, thought it was a great idea, but it's so little money that I've gone back to just disabling it personally.
I did not know that, I'd only seen the article and others like I linked.
NIST, but they required password rotation up until very recently, against their own advice.
Well it's not 'clear' when every promotional process I've encountered doesn't reward such forward-thinking preventative maintenance compared to someone who postures themselves as a hero going around putting out manufactured fires.
For me, it was the realization that all my needs are met so my brain doesn’t want to push more. You need discipline at this point. Read david goggins or jocko.
The 1975 book

https://www.amazon.com/Dispersing-Population-America-Learn-E...

pointed out that most European countries were concerned that a single large city was bleeding the life from the rest of the country, famously the UK and France. It was a common idea that governments should try to counteract it which starting to be talked about in the (mostly tricentric at the time) US.

Then by the 1980s, Reagan and Thatcher came and we started talking about “globalization” and suddenly it became a matter of London now competes with Paris which competes with New York which competes with Hong Kong and now London can’t compete if has to farm work out to Birmingham and there was a time of about 30 years that we didn’t hear a word about dispersion.

One trouble of it we are seeing now is that votes are distributed evenly even if cultural and economic power are not, so we will come to realize that keeping your republic and keeping your lopsided distribution of cultural and economic power are not compatible — the question is do we lose our republic first?
The 'what' could really be anything since the article is vague, from the sensors themselves to the GNCP software that takes that info and controls the spacecraft. If they were patching the instrument(s) then they could have done anything from uploading a new configuration to memory or the even loading a new FSW build.

Based on the little info in there I'm guessing the LIDAR hardware is their already planned backup system so when the primary sensors didn't function as planned they switched over. In this scenario I'd expect the controllers to want to hold off so they can configure the LIDAR and run its self test procedures as well as configure GNCP and ground control.

I would bet money they are using c++.
If population of one group of people grow, then it will naturally have bigger representation. That works for everything.

I find it more fascinating that it applies only to areas that either not require hard work (physical) or have high pay. Like I do not see movements towards hiring more male nurses or female oil drillers. Even taxi drivers.
Oh it's opt-in now? It used to be opt-out, good change.
Similar experience with an Asus motherboard. With their automatic tuning, instability leading to compiler crashes. Had to manually set the BIOS for sanity.

I believe the problems are compounded by the way their SuperIO controls the cooler, because the crashes were associated with temperature excursions to 100C. It's too slow to ramp up and too quick to ramp down. It is possible to tune this from userspace under Linux. But really the up ramp should be controlled by a leading indicator like the voltage regulator instead of a lagging indicator. Alternately the Linux p-state controller could anticipate the power levels and program a higher fan speed.
You star! Thank you anon.
If your company is not following the NIST recommendation, they are incompetent, and will be held liable in case of a breach

This is a stretch. Liable? Please show the case law, or the legislation.

Interestingly though, he seems to use AI and LLMs interchangeably.

Show HN: Synced lyrics database with a free, easy-to-use API
I was always frustrated that there is no solid source for synced lyrics that also offers decent API support. There is good ol' Crintsoft's MiniLyrics that is thankfully free software, was what I used a lot in my childhood, but unfortunately the API is highly obfuscated. Another popular choice is the Musixmatch API, which has a very large database of synced lyrics, but with "free" API that are reverse-engineered from their app, you will quickly run into rate-limit.

That's why I created LRCLIB. It's aimed to provide completely free synchronized lyrics for everyone, especially for FOSS music players, with zero profit intention. It currently has nearly 3,000,000 (not deduplicated) lyrics in database. You can also contribute to the database by adding and syncing lyrics for your favorite songs using the LRCGET client.

I'm trying my best to make LRCLIB server-side code open-source as soon as possible. But right now, full LRCLIB's database dumps have already been uploaded regularly and publicly, which are simply sqlite3 files. Feel free to download, look at or do anything you want with the database at https://lrclib.net/db-dumps.

Many open-source projects have already begun integrating LRCLIB, including:

- beets - music library metadata management (https://github.com/beetbox/beets)
- feishin - self-hosted music player (https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin)
- namida - music player for Android (https://github.com/namidaco/namida)

If you are interested or are looking for a good API for unsynced/synced lyrics source, please check it out!
Just set up a git server somewhere. It's not hard. Way better than using Dropbox too.

Ask HN: Is bring your own cloud considered self-hosting?
Hello,

We are creating a b2b SaaS app that will need access to your codebase. As you might imagine not all companies are happy with sharing their codebases with third parties.

I was researching self-hosting options but honestly, all of them seem kind of complicated. So decided to borrow the wisdom of the HN crowd.

Here are a few options I came up with:

1) Use docker-compose -> This is probably a no-go. We are e2e testing app running headless Chrome with codebase access. So you would need to give us quite a huge VM.

2) Packaged Kubernetes - This could work but we would need to run everything including the database inside the k8 cluster. And figure out a way to somehow package it including all of the operators etc

3) Bring your own cloud - For a small startup like ours (3 people) this seems like the most realistic option. You will give us a GCP project and we will point our terraform there. In a few minutes, you should have your deployment ready.

I should also mention that I know for HIPAA and very security-conscious companies cloud approach is a no-go. But we would first target smaller startups (20-100 engineers).

For those who work in such environments would you be ok with that?

Bonus question:
Or would you share your codebase with a SaaS app that has SOC2 type II compliance?
Cold emails, messages and calls have become the new evil that makes everyone else’s life a misery.

It used to be that account managers would work hard to ensure their target list was fit for purpose.

Now the only criteria is “did we get it from a paid list”?

Every cold message I get goes to spam without me even processing it these days.

I do entertain myself once in a while going into my spam and counting the number of follow-up emails, each sounding more desperate and pathetic than the last.
This should be an obvious truth. But people who install secret facial recognition in vending machines are also likely to be the type of people would exclude face images from their definition of PII.
I beat procrastination because the stress of the weight of all the stuff I needed to do outweighed the comfort of the procrastination.

Very few people claim they are sentient. The more common claim is that they have shown qualities that makes it reasonable to think that we are getting close to it - for very varying estimates of "close".

If you were to look at human brain cells without ever having seen a functioning human brain built from one, you might well question if they'd be enough too.
I’m also interested in this. We’ve been using Auth0 for a year and our contract is up for renewal where we will be getting kicked off of the startup plan. I’m wanting to rip the bandaid off early as we’re about to launch a new platform.

I’m highly considering bringing auth in house with Keycloak. I’ve run it in the past at previous companies so am familiar with it, but it’s going to be an extra thing to maintain due to self hosting, their themeing also is not great. However this is pretty much an end all solution that doesn’t really get expensive over time as our user base grows.

Wondering if folks have any advice?
What are OP's own thoughts on the nature of their procrastination after watching and reading articles, blogs and videos?

Did they address any of the identified reasons, and if so, in which way?

Personally, I think the core of my own procrastinating is a misguided sense of perfectionism.

I want the tasks that I'm working on to be simultaneously easy, stimulating and myself to deliver perfect work. If any of these dimensions is missing or unlikely, I will procrastinate without end.
I've arrived at a point where I've come to accept complete failure on almost all endeavours and feeling like a permanent loser, I won't even try any more.

So far I found it impossible to become okay with delivering imperfect work, since, at work or in private life, I'm objectively being judged on the quality of it and my reputation hinges on it as well.
Should you prefer small, incremental changes? Yes. Do you need be pathologically averse to PRs that hit some arbitrary limit? Absolutely fucking not.

I just had to do a code refactoring that resulted in 1600 files being deleted. Stacking 40 PRs would have gotten me actually stabbed by my team, and I would have deserved it.

Your commits should be atomic, the smallest number of changes to achieve x, where x is a single task that can easily summarized by the commit message. Your PR should contain the smallest number of commits required to achieve y, which is either a minimum viable product to achieve feature z (if z is small enough to be done in one step/PR, good for you), or a step in the path to achieve z. Start your review early (using a WIP/draft PR) if you have the misfortune of having to do a large refactoring so your reviewer(s) can get in on the ground level and review in chunks. If you’re following the rule of “atomic commit” above, it’s really not a big deal for a reviewer to look at changes between each commit which can speed up reviews of big refactorings.

This is a real problem with so much stuff outsourced to external cloud providers. Used to be, if it was from the company intranet, no problem. Now every survey, every training thing, every new flavour of the month is from external mystery domains and then it wants your corporate credentials to log in. At my company they keep us sharp by running "fake phishing" campaigns to kind of gamify recognizing phishing emails. But this shouldn't be necessary for legitimate corporate stuff.
And I like the reverse philosophy behind defender.
As it is "embedded" it's not supposed to say anything until it's relevant. It is really hidden.

For any other AV, they have to show frequently that they are here and help you justify your investment, so you have pop-up, reports and annoying notifications.

NIST whose guidelines are admissible in court and a competent judge will take over expert testimony. (an expert witness who says something that contradicts these guidelines is guilty of perjury, though good luck persecuting that)
On our company (hosting & PaaS), I was contacted on our internal messenger by a person I've never seen before, asking me to "please" run some commands as root and send back the results. After the initial shock (and due infosec diligence) I found out it was just "the new guy", needing to collect info about our systems for equipment inventory purposes. Since they didn't have access to our networked management tool yet, and didn't know the finer points about how running `curl ... | sh` randomly is not a good idea, they thought it would be ok to get that information piecemeal directly from people.

It happens.

On a related note the Museum of Berkshire Aviation near Reading, one hour west of London, has some examples of lacing on display.

They have quite a few parts from a Chevaline / Polaris missile and what struck me the most was the quality of construction. It was just fascinating to see the level of engineering involved, including the cable lacing.

Hillary Rettig wrote a book called _The Lifelong Activist_ that addresses procrastination (among other issues). She claims that procrastination comes from perfectionism and that giving up on getting things perfect will end your procrastination.

I'm not sure this is 100% true for all people but I found it to be a helpful way to think about things. The book is worth reading overall, and I think a lot of the advice in it would apply to anyone who wants to be able to spend a large portion of their life on focused work, whether that's activism, running a company, parenting, etc.

Do a test for sleep apnea. I didn't realize I had apnea but my dad and brother had it, so I did a sleep test. Turns out I had severe apnea.

I suffered from massive procrastination and focus problems in the couple years leading up to the test. Once I got a CPAP machine to sleep better, it made a profound change in my life. Mental acuity, productivity, mood, everything was far better. Sleep is no joke. For about a month, my dreams were crazy long epic sagas as my brain caught up on REM sleep it had been deprived of for years. My bosses at the time mentioned I was like a different person altogether. Got great performance reviews.

So, just my tale on how I beat procrastination. Probably not what you expected.
This is just not true; the 4 went on to be one of Apple’s best-selling devices, long after the free bumper program ended. Its design was never changed; the media furor just faded and the phone worked fine and sold fine. I had one for years, for what it’s worth.

Lots of speculation but no real data. No, Capital One didn't buy Discover for $35B so they could raise their debit card transaction fee by a few bps. People don't use debit cards enough for it to be worthwhile. The real reason is the boring one – there is a lot of value in the Discover brand and network and Capital One wants that.

Three books that have helped me:

- "Feeling Good" by David D. Burns

- "The Now Habit" by Neil Fiore

- "Getting Things Done" by David Allen

"Feeling Good" is about Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and will teach you some practical ways to get yourself out of a bad mood (depression, anger, self-criticism, etc). Procrastination is a logical response to how you are feeling about some task, for example, you are feeling anxious about failing a test, so you play video games because it feels better to play video games than to feel anxious. This book will help you get past the anxiety, so you can focus on the studying. If you only read one of these books, I would recommend this one.

"The Now Habit" offers you some practical advice on how to beat procrastination and schedule your time so you don't feel like all you do is work, work, work.

"Getting Things Done" has a lot of practical advice about how to keep track of what you've got going on in your life so that you can get all your stuff done.

And yes, if you think you are depressed or have undiagnosed ADHD, go see a doctor and/or therapist.

Hope some of this helps.

If a customer has such stringent requirements, can’t you offer 2 & 3 then use the contract approval / signing period to get ready? Potentially even having the customer fund #2?

If you already have terraform it should be low-ish effort to do #3 as it is.
Just guessing that the software forces you to put in tracking information for every item. If it can't read it, you'll have to input the stuff manually. I bet they make that interface painful too.

Discover has alqYs bewn stuck in a weird place in the US market. They've lived and died on their customer service reputation, yet ultimately they are just another credit card company.

They havn't had any other offerings at all which I've found compelling. And their banking services are too sparse to switch to as a main provider.

Shortest path search is a very well understood problem, and for "simple" cases A* is the gold standard.

You could probably tweak the heuristic used by A* to the problem to get similarly good results (at much lower compute cost than running what amounts to an LLM with huge context length). But this is a toy problem. The interesting thing about the paper is that you might be able to get good-performing search algorithms for any problem with a cookie-cutter process, instead of spending many man-hours tweaking a hand-written search algorithm. It might also be possible to easily adapt it to much more complex search problems, like cooperatively evading other agents navigating in the same space.
