What I wonder is about Qubes [0].

For a long time zero implicit trust is my default way of configuring
small systems of 3 or 4 hosts and a handful of services. But I get
tired of the administration overhead.

Does anyone who knows Qubes well, and has a sound understanding of
what's implied by this NIST advice, think it's a good fit for meeting
some of the advice? It seems less work.

WRT third parties? Why would anyone outsource trust in a domestic, or
small office system?

The author seems to confuse what an alloy is with the shape of a metal part. The alloy is the chemical composition, the shape is just the shape. The basis of comparison is likewise flawed. It seems like they compare their shape printed in titanium to a solid block of magnesium, but they should really compare it to the best known titanium lattice as that would show how much of an improvement their design is. For all we know their design is worse than the existing state of the art

How to Make NMAP Recognize New Services
Cancer isn’t one thing and AI is an important tool that will accelerate treatment and drug development.

My late wife detected a mole that was melanoma in 2019. She was within months of being cleared for observation in 2023 when two brain tumors were detected. Despite the best of care, she was gone in 6 months.

If her initial treatment had been in 2024 instead of 2019, it’s 80% likely she would be around for another decade or more. That’s how fast new treatment options are coming to market, and data analysis with AI and other tech is improving it. New trials are using platforms like Moderna to provide custom vaccines that should reduce treatment side effects.

While the hyperbole of the media is annoying, the impacts of new tech to identify genetic vulnerabilities in cancers is near miraculous.
I never said that I expected ChatGPT to converge on an average, I said that this particular phrase is not strong evidence by itself of GPT authorship.

"It's important to remember" is a phrase that plenty of people used before ChatGPT. I've included three examples below from a quick time-boxed search. Just because ChatGPT says a phrase doesn't mean that every time you see it it came from ChatGPT—someone wrote the training data that ChatGPT was trained on, and someone else wrote the data (or selected the responses) that it was fine tuned on. ChatGPT isn't inventing new phrases out of whole cloth, it has a stereotyped style that is pieced together out of many existing phrases.

A collection of such stereotyped phrases in a single piece would be stronger evidence of GPT authorship, but I see no evidence of that here.

Of course, the answer is "no".
That’s a very sexist take, and not supported at all by the data. There are plenty of very successful women raising families. I have a relative where both the father and mother are very successful engineers working full time. Their two girls are doing amazing and going to top schools.

Raising children is full time, but both parents can and should be a part of it.

Exactly!

There are a lot of posts on mesh VPNs on HN. They are useful for startups to control access using ACLs in a granular manner (centralized cloud based firewalls, device context, logging etc). I don’t see the utility in small setups where there isn’t whole lot to segment anyways. The main appeal is probably the ease of installation.
Too bad that ente.io app is not available on Apple App Store.

Yes, for example if you make a Rust std::sync:RWLock on Windows, it will literally be SRWLock because Microsoft advertises this API as having exactly the behaviour Rust wants so why would you build something worse instead ?

Rust's Mutex on Windows is also an SRWLock but it can't hit this bug because it deliberately only uses the exclusive locking.
I think carefully defining and documenting different complex media types is incredibly valuable, at scales much smaller than “the whole internet”.

For instance, I think IMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, JMAP, RSS and other similar standards add a ton of value to people’s lives. If you build a true, extensible, REST in its original meaning system, you’re contributing to this grand vision of interoperable utility.

But I also agree with you that building interoperable standards is hard work with negative ROI for investors who aren’t trying to commoditize a complement somewhere. And so the IETF dream isn’t getting a ton of investment these days.

Replace "AGI" with the idea of an AI that is able to perform tasks in a way that compares to a regular human being. That's what people are talking about, we're not there yet, and I think all the semantics over AI/AGI/"General Intelligence" is just muddying the waters.

There's people like you, saying ChatGPT is AGI, while to me it's clearly not, and this is simply because we're using different definitions of "general intelligence". If you really generalize intelligence, ChatGPT fails miserably compared to a human, if you narrow intelligence to certain specific tasks, ChatGPT performs as well, or better, than your average human.
Do you think this team invented that idea? Im struggling to understand how large their contribution is.

Strange but true: I've been to a number of professional happy hours that offered free alcohol, but didn't provide other beverages. It got to the point that I started bringing my own water bottle to networking events, just in case.

I'm a big fan of providing other beverage types. Being able to sip a soda etc from the same kind of container as everyone else goes a long way towards blending in.

Probably. Look at the people in the hospital - they’re old. Inpatient costs are astronomical, and seniors with poor social supports end up hospitalized at great expense with issues where root cause are easily prevented… like dehydration.
> The Dutch and Israelis are famously direct. They don’t mind confrontation, so usually speak their mind and take no offence. By contrast, East Asians are more likely to value collective harmony. This means that they avoid direct confrontation, so artfully use be more subtle and diplomatic language.

I don't see how speaking your mind is confrontational or at odds with "collective harmony". Intention is all that matters in my opinion. If you go in aiming to upset, then you're a dick and no amount of "diplomatic language" is going to make you not a dick. In fact, it will only make you more dickish, because now you're hiding behind word manipulation.
> Climate change is easy to solve: build fusion reactors which are 50x cheaper per kW to deploy than solar.

That just kicks the can down the road. If our general strategy (aim for exponential growth in all things) remains the same, cheaper power will mean we use more of it. Even if we completely phase out CO₂-releasing energy sources, the waste heat of our industrial processes would eventually dominate the power received from the sun. Even if we solve that… deuterium, like oil, is non-renewable. Doesn't matter how cheap it is: there are only two dozen trillion tonnes of it in the ocean, and once we've run out, we've run out.
Having audio gear work on linux continues not be be a given, but it is a lot better than it was in the firewire and early USB2 days. On the firewire side, the devices that worked under linux still work under linux while those some devices tend not to have the ability to work on current macs and windows machines. That makes them really cheap, often (but RME stuff defies that).
"security" "researchers" "prove" what everyone knew was obvious within 30 seconds of learning about LLMs and make "first of a kind" "terrifying new advance".

Well, one topic which is covered in some detail when you are screened for security clearances is precisely how you use alcohol (and other intoxicants!).

I imagine it is for this precise reason.
In conclusion, this is why Systems (Thermal) Control is a profession.

Not dissing on the author's efforts, quite the contrary!

Regarding encryption, the link you shared points to Immich. Ente uses client side encryption, so your data is encrypted before it leaves your device, and only you have the keys to decrypt it.
I think it's pretty nasty (and off-brand) that Apple included gambling odds in the Sports app.

Gambling is experiencing spikes in addiction right now, no idea why Apple of all companies decided to increase exposure to that underbelly of sports.

Few companies have the reach and influence of Apple, I don't think the gambling industry could have paid enough money to get the kind of exposure this gives them to millions of people for no good reason.
At first with the kerning on my screen I was wondering why MIT had an Australian TLD.

They seem most interested in the thin band running through the lattice, my curiosity is how well can the 3D printer make that consistently? I would assume it's contribution to strength might be pretty significant, and might be quite non-linear with any variance.

A common frustration I've had with 3d printing is even keeping within specs on thin planes and walls can turn out suboptimally, but maybe thats some bike shedding, I'm ceratinly not doing anything in metal.
>It's not china ie chinese government

At least in regards to the US, no one can really know that. The Chinese government technically doesn't own anything in the US anymore. The alarm is being raised because supposedly private Chinese enterprise includes ownership of significant American food production (e.g. largest pork manufacturer), farm land, homes near military facilities, etc. Those are strategically sound holdings for national defense in both countries. Suburbs are built on farm land, etc. It's very difficult to decouple real estate from national defense, really.

That said, "Chinese people" don't own all that much in the US overall when compared with other countries. China is being singled out because they have been caught spying repeatedly. They stood and burned their embassy and refused to allow firefighters in. There is military posturing. They are invading American airspace over the US mainland. All these combined paint such purchases in a suspicious light at the very least.

There's enough evidence to know that the Chinese government is funding at least some of the purchases. It could be most of these purchases. No one can know for sure, not even the individual buyers themselves. Only the Chinese government knows.

I think the same applies in Europe?

Statements such as "Stating the simple fact that Apple has the ability to increase their resources is not somehow offensive." is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Plenty of people (and their companies) die trying to "increase their resources". Apple is no different or special from any of the other companies participating in the economy. I'm not an Apple fanboy but even I do see the point that statements such as "enough spare money" generally do not get anywhere simply because they patronise their targets and imply that somehow someone being rich makes it morally correct to grift them or break them.

It is agreeable that Apple doesn't care about any of us here. It's simply due to the fact that our relationship with any company is purely transactional. No one shouldn't be burdened with the responsibility of something they can't control, thus, no one should hold other in responsibility of something they have don't have authority over.
Simply REST as a whole was impractical for machines. So folks took the 3/4 that was applicable and ran with it. REST—the good parts.

What I don’t completely understand is why the hand-wringing about it for almost two decades?

I gathered from discussion it’s because business folks kept using the term in job posts. Other words bastardized by the public like “agile” and “hacker” say hello. :-D

@cimnine The key feature for me is global search (ctrl/cmd+p) but it doesn’t work well enough!!
1. it doesn’t favour exact matches and

Not really? There's still going to be illegal farms in states where weed is legal as long as cultivation is as restrictive as it is (which is in large part due to lobbying from ag companies seeking to regulatory capture the industry).

There won't be under the table weed farms in residential housing (or at all) once establishing production on agricultural land at scale becomes accessible.

If recreational consumption of marijuana is legal there is absolutely no reason why cultivating it should be treated any different than tobacco (i.e. cultivation is not a crime at any volume but sales/distribution without a license likely is). And a license for sales/distribution shouldn't be a major hurdle but rather a bit of paperwork and documentation.

The only reason criminal orgs even grow weed now is because we have an artificial barrier to entry that keeps it as a profitable enterprise. Once marijuana and other crops are on the same footing, there'll be no reason why they would be cultivating it any more than why they might try to grow their own food.
There is Django Unicorn. Never used it so I don’t know what it’s worth.

I don't know how much information you have to reveal, but you could be giving away a revolutionary idea for "free." I've heard this was/is a popular Google and Amazon strategy: say you are considering a buyout, get a look a critical, proprietary biz data, say "no thanks," and go build your own.

As someone who’s written a lot of php and JavaScript, I think the same thing but in the opposite way. JavaScript just can’t compare when it comes to designing a complex OO system.
The essay repeatedly uses the phrase "RESTful API", so it's natural for people to get confused when it advocates for things that are fundamentally incompatible with an API client.

How do you perform repair on something inside a solid steel, titanium or aluminum block, which is what this structure replaces?

These are structural components that don't have anything "inside" but are used as material for carrying/distributing loads, and their strength and weight is the thing that matters. If their integrity is compromised, you generally don't repair structural components if the repaired seam wouldn't have the same strength as the original material, but replace them.
This doesn't say SRE is shutting down, it says that they're changing the ratio of SRE to SWE. One thing to realise about Google is that the technology is increasingly unified across the company. 10 years ago everything worked in different ways, but now there are very standard technologies and paths, and naturally this requires fewer SREs to the SWEs developing the products. I don't think this is a bad thing, and in the layoffs SREs have not to my knowledge been hit any harder than SWEs.
My dad’s an orthopaedic trauma surgeon. A friend was curious if his knee injury outcomes could be predicted from the radiologist’s report. So I supplied that plus X-rays and description of condition and situation that caused it to ChatGPT-4 (the early days version) to see if it would describe everything correctly and say what actions should be taken and then sent that to my dad for validation. He said it was spot on.

He then asked what it would say for the prognosis. Also again spot on.

So there’s things it can do well, for certain. I’m of the opinion that if we manage to scale this machine it will create novel science.

In any case, the two complaints expressed in the article ( inappropriate comprehension of patient problems and inequality) are both actually better with LLMs. The patience and understanding of an LLM cannot be beaten. Once we fix the context window, and once again unshackle this machine from ridiculous chains that safetyists have put it in, we will improve patient care.

Maybe they won't cure cancer, but a host of problems will be taken care of.

You can probably find online the reports of increased corporate profits during our inflationary years. I believe I read an analysis that said that 25% of inflation was caused by achieving those increased profits.

One of the interesting things about inflation is that it does have something to do with expectations...
Two girls. 2.1 is replacement rate. Some do manage to have 2-3 kids! But many do not. And the cultures that do not push women into careers are more able to grow their population.

Is there any country on earth with a neutral or positive population growth where women are encouraged to pursue careers? As far as I know, not a single country that has a significant female career participation rate has a 2.1+ child rate per family outside of immigration.
Ask HN: CRM / Tools for Business Cards / Leads / Contact Management
Just wondering if anyone is in the Sales / Marketing where they have this problem. Even my worst job in pervious years would only have ~100 clients contact, which is a lot but still (barely) manageable. Right now in my new job I have to jiggle with few hundreds of contact point and business cards and it quickly becomes and unmanageable mess.

I am wondering if anyone has any recommendation on CRM or tools to manage these. Preferably where the Data I get to keep it myself / on my phone.

Right now I am using good old fashion Excel Spreadsheet.

I am wondering if there are any automatic scanner where I could throw a pack of Business Cards and it will scan it into an App. Most current Apps want me to take a photo one by one.
Meh, different life experiences then. I've never had any trouble with it. Then again I could be autistic and haven't noticed / cared.

I think in a perfect world that land rehabilitation and land CO2 sequestration projects coupled with solar+wind+nuclear+geo+friends energy would get us to carbon neutral much faster than DAC, but hopefully I am wrong and DAC can be scaled up without exorbitantly high costs.
