True, to a degree. But let's imagine that (1) FedEx felt that profits were more desirable than legal expenses, and (2) FedEx had some power over the sending and contents of the notifications. Might FedEx decide to start following well-regarded standards for writing and sending legit-looking electronic notifications? And iterate from there, as an ongoing strategy?
Search engines have already gobbled it up the moment it was published. And it is probably in the training dataset of many AIs.

My point was that WTO membership doesn't require countries to compromise their security. Neither the US nor China are violating the spirit or the letter of the WTO Agreement by placing national security restrictions on sectors they consider critical.

Point taken, but I'm not sure that it is so ridiculous. In some cases (obviously not this case) there might be a better source for the article. Or even changing the URL to nitter or similar would help! Keeping the discussions about this sort of thing active and spreading awareness is a valid way of trying to promote long-term quality content on HN rather than preventing it from turning into a cesspool.
I will simply refuse to believe this is real. As a psychological defense mechanism.

What the hell.
That prompt looks great. I tried it on OpenAI's incident response and got: (only last paragraph taken for brievity)

> ...
> In conclusion, while the passage does provide a basic account of the incident, its lack of detail, reliance on jargon, and vague explanations leave room for skepticism regarding the severity of the issue, the transparency of the response, and the effectiveness of preventative measures. A more thorough and less technical explanation could have mitigated some of these concerns.

Cloudflare's postmortem: (https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-outage-on-june-21-202...)

> In summary, the passage does not exhibit overt deception, manipulation, or dishonesty. Cloudflare's statement seems to be a forthright attempt to explain what happened, accept responsibility, and outline steps to prevent future incidents. The inclusion of technical details and the acknowledgment of their error reflect a commitment to transparency, even if the promotional content at the end might seem slightly incongruent with the preceding apology and explanation.

Now the thing is to make a fast and reliable plugin that automatically puts the warning on the webpage and shame these corporates
I installed it and kept it open for a full day but apparently it hasn't "saved" anything, and even if I open a Wiki page and a few minutes later search for that page, it returns nothing. Tried reading the Support FAQs on the website to no avail. Screen recording is on.
To be honest the offline support of Apple Music even though exists, is on par with Spotify. It will bug you about “turn on wifi, you’re offline”, ask you to provide or update payment information, fail at synchronisation time to time with music purchased on iTunes, and overall work unreliably when you just want to listen to some songs you’ve copied from your physical CD’s. Like the whole thing trying hard to push you to use their subscription service.
My best theory is that FedEx outsourced the process of sending these SMS notifications to some external contractor.

Of course, the scammers already have the scam systems in place, so they can win the bid on price :D

I know this sounds ridiculous, but I doubt anything will make better sense than this :P
This is also just good practice in general. You learn through struggle, so giving juniors a safety net (when they don't know they have it), is a good way to get them up the curve.
Long time adjunct instructor here - it's pretty easy to tell when a student is writing above their level or not within their tone and style. A lot of times, I can tell the work is not the students; maybe not AI-created, but definitely created by someone else.

I'd like to see the actual paper. Turning a student in for plagiarism is a serious action and not taken lightly. I think the instructor had other clues besides machine alerts.
Spotify's always been the baddie, they've just hid it well.
A few months ago I got an email from the IT center of the company I work for that was dodgier than any phishing email I have ever received:

- Coming from a domain that looks nothing like the official domain of the company, rather some generic @itservice.com or something.
- Subject: "URGENT: your account is expiring soon".
- Multiple links provided in the email body, all illegible and multiple lines long, none of them from a domain that I can immediately link to the company.
- No alternative way of resolving the issue is provided other than clicking on one of those links (no "go to your account settings", "contact your line manager" or so).

And still, it turns out it was real.

~100k employees company btw
There's an EU law demanding such documents to be delivered on a "durable medium". Some banks and financial institutions may have a strange approach to those, even though email attachments seem to be enough for others.

Is being a young company really an excuse when any half-decent engineer knows these things are bad?

Being a young company doesn't mean you ignore all the mistakes other people have made and figure them out for yourself.

I really surprised someone has access to the prod DB, and that it's possible for them to connect to it in dev (Meaning they have a copy of the credentials???).
Laziness Implies not having a 'valid' reason to do some work. I think of being burned out as being 'drained' by cognitive / emotional load to the extend that your (hormonal, emotional, cognitive etc) system is continously out of whack; which in turn affects your ability to work.

Discomfort, disinterest, boredom etc play into this of course.

That said, why not change things up if you feel so bad? make sure to include other measures to help your mindstate (exercise, vit d, therapy, social life etc). Don't see it as a single problem and one-time fix though. Wether you are burnt out or not, it's worth doing what you can in selfcare.

Seriously just use your main domain for URLs. For me at least that clears up 99% of this.

I wasn't talking as much about marketplace success as I was about the ability to support engineering efforts to develop specific features requiring high amounts of sustained, focused effort.

There's a big difference between 'high engineering spend' and 'widespread adoption'.
True, but even in any 32-bit microcontroller program any hardware tick counts and any high-resolution timestamps or other high-resolution time quantities should be handled using 64-bit integer types, e.g. "int64_t" or "long long".

All modern compilers support such types, so the choice does not require any work for the programmer. Even on 32-bit MCUs, the extra overhead for using 64-bit time quantities is almost always negligible, because normally only additions and subtractions are done with these values. Multiplications and divisions, which are slow on 32-bit MCUs, are used very seldom for time values.

The failure to use such types is a serious programmer mistake, which does not have any excuse, already for at least three decades or more.

In microcontrollers it is even easier to always use the right types for time values, because normally there are no backward compatibility concerns.

Many microcontrollers have only small hardware tick counters, e.g. 16-bit counters, but it is easy to extend them in software to 64-bit by having an interrupt on overflow that increments the high words of the 64-bit software tick counter (when reading such split software-hardware tick counters, modifications in progress must be detected and the read must be retried, like for any other lockless data that are shared between concurrent threads).
I honestly don't understand what do you mean. NSA does everything it does legally, because it's a governmental organisation created to do specifically the thing it does. Yes, you can't do the things NSA do, just like soldiers can carry heavy weapons and you can't. You can argue what they do is immoral, but it almost certainly is legal.
Well if the developer is the adversary, then surely they can update the hash on Cloudflare as they upload the backdoor.
When I bought a car once, I received an email a few months later saying I hadn't proven I had obtained insurance on it, and the bank wanted me to visit a domain that wasn't theirs to provide proof.

The email I got looked like a badly-scanned letterhead and was very, very fishy.

After I received a few of them, I finally contacted the bank and it was legit.

I tried telling the office person (not just a clerk at the counter, someone with their own desk) about the situation and they couldn't understand why it was bad.

I soon paid off that loan and got away from that bank.
True but various companies will start produce more hardware in house in the future too. For now Nvidia is the sole king in that but other companies will catch up sooner or later.
That issue is closed and fixed since almost a year. And as the author said, the 'list' command is supposed to list all invocations. When you search (Ctrl+R) you don't see duplicates (I guess the screencast might be old?).

The Google staff responsible were clearly lacking imagination. I think next time Google should consider hiring a QA team consisting of teenagers from 4chan, I think they would excel at the job of figuring out ways to generate offensive content with the app.

Of course even better would be utilizing more balanced training data, so you don't need silly and badly working prompt engineering to force more diversity.

i disagree. linux is a learning experience in itself. just don't tell people to fdisk disk alone right from the beginning. but that's the beauty of rolling distros. help them once and mostly forget :)

you accept software is not eternal and bugs are there. instead of accepting blue screens/spinning beachball/etc as facts of life, you understand they are like idiot lights on your car dashboard. instead of ignoring you take your car to a mechanic, who will tell you something obvious had you read the manual.

Linux is the same. you see a crash, you message the friend who told you to use Linux or google the error. yeah, it's annoying, but only if you live in neverland were comercial software have no bugs.

and again, ubuntu/rh/etc does nothing but try to push this lie to opensource.

SEC claimed that Kraken failed to register as a broker, clearinghouse, or exchange.
Kraken said that the SEC failed to adhere to the standards established by the Howey Test.
On Thursday, Kraken filed a motion to dismiss the case, claiming that the U.S SEC had not charged fraud and had instead stretched the meaning of a contract in its lawsuit.

With the argument that cryptocurrencies—or at least those included in the SEC’s complaint—should be classified as commodities rather than securities, the crypto exchange sought to dismiss the SEC’s case that had been filed in the Northern District of California.

Yes, but that price list is quite broken. A lot of apps have different price points - either for A/B testing, or because of discounts with partners, or educational discounts (we have a 50% discounts for students, for example).

Apple lists all prices in that list.

To make matters worse, if you ever decide to change your prices, you'll have both the old and the new prices in the list. Especially when you start out, you won't really know what a good price point is, and within a short amount of time the price list will be cluttered with all the prices you tried.

I'm sure Apple believes they're protecting the user here, but in reality they're serving neither the users or the developers with this.
Does it mean that a formally verified piece of software like seL4 can still fail because of a potential "bug" in the hardware?
Don't really see why that's a valid excuse. The skin colour of the two people mentioned has nothing to do with the story.

Looking at the photo below that text fragment, people of the same skin colour were part of the investigation team which busted them.

Contrast it with an alternate proposed policy “not allowed to work on cars at all” not to a fully sensible except difficult to administer policy of “don’t create a nuisance that reasonable neighbors would reasonably object to”.

The React site part of this is not real. The author ticked "Disable cache" which means the same code (which powers the interactive editable sandboxes they're scrolling by) gets counted over and over and over as if it was different code.

If you untick "Disable cache", it's loaded once and gets cached.

jumping in from the new comments page because you seem so earnest. those summations on that thread you think are unfair really don't come across as unfair summations of what you're trying to say. you call them a bald faced lie, but it's a fair reading of how what you actually wrote actually lands. what you wrote comes across as those summations. therein lies the problem. your writing doesn't land how you think it lands. there's no two ways around that. you say X, people hear Y, you say but I didn't say Y, but you really are saying Y with how you're saying X. you're trying to say Y without actually saying Y and think that if you say Y absolutely precisely enough, that Y is actually okay. so you insist you're saying X when you're saying Y, and Y simply isn't okay here. really deeply consider how you're really saying Y when you think you're saying or asking X.

take the word eugenics, for example. we've decided that's not okay. by asking modern questions around it, you think you can make it okay to support eugenics. but unfortunately words can have two meanings, and the word eugenics has picked up the meaning that non-blonde blue eyed white people are to be euthanized. thus, you can't use the word eugenics. you want it to mean one thing, but the rest of us have agreed it means this other thing, and you're left confused because you're saying X and everyone else is hearing Y because Y is what that word means to everyone else.

I always find statements like this a bit strange. Who "has" to? Who is going to make the rich and powerful ensure a just transition as opposed to just letting the rest of us starve?

After all, if the rest of us make a fuss, they can just set their guard robots on us...

Because Apple are veeeery good at public perception of their company. Hell, every time they add a new hardware feature, they present it like they invented it (often they haven't) and consumers eat it up.

They've given themselves this image of everything we make just works, is designed perfectly and consumers are happy to accept any and all rules and conditions imposed on them to live in the Apple ecosystem, it's all very Stockholm Syndrome.

Apple could be taking 30% of donations to orphanages or for children with cancer thru an app and fans would be like "well it's expensive to run the app store!1!1" (no, it's really, really not...$173bn profit 2023).

> Talking to real customers and helping them solve real problems is really potent.

This, this and THIS again !

Example case (of many I could cite) would be Transferwise.

They used to be good, but now they've denigrated into a quagmire. Could they be bothered to talk to their customers, or even just send round some box ticking surveys, they might find that out.

No amount of A/B testing, data lakes or other "data science" buzzwords is going to help them.

But no, instead its the same old story :

Rebranding from Transferwise to Wise because, well, I guess that's the usual shit companies do when they've run out of ideas (Aberdeen rebranding to Abrdn is another fine example from the financial sector).

Doing stuff worse because it benefits the business (read: increase margins) rather than the customer. Transfers take forever. Customer service is non existent.

Funnily enough it all seems to have started going downhill around the same time they floated on the stock market. Funny that !

Whilst I am aware that a company's strict legal definition is to put its shareholders first, it doesn't have to be that way, at least not in a blatant manner. Afterall, disgruntled customers don't do much good for shareholder's pockets.
True. But when you're a smart kid and you get auto-noticed in school with no effort on your own part (aside from the academic effort!), maybe it's time to add a course like "Creating Your Own P.R... And Believing It Too" into the curriculum.

When selecting memory in the filter, I noticed that the units are not all in GB, and the order is not strictly increasing. Also, I had to scroll down to select memory. Maybe it is better to sort from high to low, as the more common options are then near the top. Another idea is to make the filters bar have its own scrollable pane. It would also be nice to be able to select/compare capabilities like number of GPU cores etc. Further I noticed that an item on the list was already sold, which is understandable but still slightly annoying.

Clues to better understanding of chronic fatigue syndrome emerge from study
The traces are extremely short. Look at a modern motherboard and you'll find a bank of capacitors and regulators about 2cm away from the CPU socket.

If you've got 4 layers of 2oz copper, and you make the positive and negative traces 10mm wide, you'll only be dissipating 28 watts when the CPU is dissipating 300 watts. And most motherboards have more than 4 layers and have space for more than 10mm of power trace width. And there's a bunch of forced air cooling, due to that 300 watts of heat the CPU is producing.

Electrical code doesn't let buildings use cables that dissipate 28 watts for 2cm of distance because it would be extremely problematic if your 3m long EV charge cable dissipated 4200 watts.
> I know this comes down to institutional incompetency

"Incompetency" is an interesting word.

The old maxim about incompetence versus malice suggests a binary
choice.

I prefer the more nuanced take that there is a spectrum of positions
between the two, and other dimensions that describe a cluster of
intents, both conscious and unconscious.

Take the UK Post Office scandal where we see incompetence layered on
top of malice, layered on top on incompetence. In some organisations
obviously deliberately harmful positions are written into "policy".
Often this comes under "PR" [fn:1]. More and more "AI" will be used to
disguise malintent and deflect scrutiny.

In the final episode of the ITV dramatisation [0], Alan Bates (played
by Toby Jones) delivers an absolutely shocking, knock down line. When
talking about incompetence and evil he says: "They're the same thing"
At some point there is no difference between incompetence and
evil. For a deeper psychological discussion of that listen here [1].
