>Swerving or breaking in response multiplies the problem, as now there are two cars driving erratically.

Holding your steering wheel with a single hand will cause you to drive erratically too.

>The horn won't always resolve everything, but it's by far the most effective way to get somebody's attention in a hurry.

That's why it should be possible to activate it with an easy to reach button or lever, preferably next to the emergency lights, instead of a heavy pressure button right in the center of the steering wheel.
This is with our own product that allows Login with Google, so not related in anyway to Meta Outage.
I think I’ve experienced 2 or 3 global session resets on fb in my life. Usually followed by some kind of reason they had to protect everyone. This probably isn’t great, hopefully a precaution not an active exploit.
Stochastic terrorisim. Get people afraid because “things don’t work right”. Cause fear and doubt about life in general and have it associated with the election.
Give an impression and actually be are two different things.
Does not look like a network issue, my guess is that they fucked up something major with their auth server when deploying a change related to the EU Digital Markets Act.
well that's a name I didn't expect to see coming into this thread, lmao.

so many good memories of that software but for some reason I'm remembering a red theme.

Thanks. I am struggling a bit to login and download the model during GH CI pipeline. I keep getting invalid token error but it works when run locally. Any ideas? Sorry to post this question here.
conspiracy theory get more imaginative.

For example, you can then pose the conspiracy that the fact it was Russian interference conspiracy was a conspiracy to justify more social media policing during the real election.
Yeah, it's subsidized by taxes on French people and runs at a loss
1 percent is extremely frequent though. Like literally thousands of times per second on prod if it's a b2c application

St. Louis is in America, so their tagline is accurate.
In my last job, I implemented a transpiler for most GQLs: we supported Gremlin, Cypher, SPARQL NetworkX, GraphQL and SQL.

It took me about 3 months to implement each language.

We could also convert between different graph serialization formats, like RDF and some JSON formats.

The product is now dead (KgBase). The transpiler tool wasn't exposed to users, it was just part of the internal machinery used to seamlessly support many DBs on the same frontend.

The graph community should split in 2. Some are interested in graphs from a math/statistics view point, while others are interested in graphs as a generalization of relational DBs. Graph tools attempt to satisfy both camps simultaneously, but their interests and needs are very different.
I think the truth is probably in the middle. Big companies often release patches before they detail what is in them so as to not create a lot of zero day issues where they helpfully explain to hackers how to hack the unpatched masses of users. I can see why that is a good thing. At least I'd hate it if e.g. Apple published a detailed howto on how to hack me hours/days before I even see the patch they released along with it. Normal users and companies need some time.

So, I can see why Jetbrains would want these patches out ASAP without alerting hackers to the notion that there are a lot of valuable corporate targets to hack.

I guess that's why this article is titled "Rapid7 throws JetBrains under the bus ...". And their users, you could add. At least the article suggests "Exploits began within hours of the original disclosure, so patch now". Sounds like things might be getting ugly for some people out there. There might be more graceful ways to deal with this.
Also can't logged into my openAI account.

Not saying is related, but timing is weird.
Maybe because of the sudden increase of traffic?
if you try to reset your password you will receive each time the same CODE number for auth....
Thanks for the suggestions. I will surely give them a try.
The only recent Jazz musician that I have heard is Kamasi Washington.
I've known several people who, when they got signed out, couldn't remember their password and access their email, and so made a new account. I'm sure Facebook will see a spike of this.
The software behind Codeberg is Forgejo, which is a fork of Gitea. The team of Forgejo is working on a federation protocol based on ActivityPub. Once it is done, it will be able to exchange data with other Forgejo servers and any server supporting that protocol. So, we may expect that Codeberg will transform from centralized to federated.

sr.ht chooses another approach. You only need an email to submit codes, file issue, join discussion, etc. From perspective of source hosting, it is centralized. But, from perspective of project collaboration, it is decentralized.
USA, Instagram app broke about 5 minutes ago.
Try doing it before work if you don't have the energy after work.
every one panicked that they got hacked. i got a slim hope that i also got hacked and that i will not bother to recover my account and just roll without FB :) im too week to quit my self.
I've actually started asking people when they comment that it has been an amazing life-changing thing, how did it improve things.

90% of the time was people who are code adjacent that don't often write "code" who then use Copilot to write a one off script.

They have no idea the size of the chasm between a one off script and writing production code.

The article also mentions exactly this fact.
This is why I believe the concept of the stack frame should also be introduced when teaching recursion. Otherwise, you get questions from students like, "how can you call the same function from within" and "wouldn't the value of n be overwritten when I call it again?"
Well, I've been spitballing 1-3 years for effects of layoffs to affect company performance, so this timeframe is about right
Shortly before I received password recovery codes to my email, from all facebook accounts I have.

My email requires 2FA, as does my facebook account, but when I went there and clicked "forgot password" there was an unknown email address added to my account. That shouldn't be possible.
GFCIs are great: they detect even small leakage currents and modern ones also detect neutral-to-ground faults. But, in the US, it’s very unusual to have any sort of ground fault/residual current protection on anything other than individual branch circuits, and even then it’s usually just the outlets. GFCIs are also fixed at 5mA, and they don’t coordinate with each other (meaning that if you have two GFCIs in series, they are both likely to trip in the event of a fault).

So individual outdoor wires in rust metallic conduit without GFCI protection are very common. Outdoor receptacles in nice “extra-duty” boxes, where the receptacle itself has “weather resistant” GFCI (modern code) are very common, and nothing protects effectively against water getting into the box itself and causing a problem immediately upstream of that fancy GFCI.

I don’t understand the European codes well, but as I understand it, it’s common to have a big RCD in the distribution box, and that will protect the distributed wiring even if it doesn’t have the magical 5mA threshold that supposedly makes wires extra safe if you touch them by accident.

(I’d like to see standardized ratios of ground fault current sensitivity to breaker size, so a 15A residual current device downstream of a 60A one would coordinate properly. The hardware is cheap enough these days that this could be done cost-effectively.
It has a fairly reasonable compositing toolkit, so if want you want to throw some assets together, it's a perfectly janky way to do so. If you want to actually rotoscope, chroma key, do any tracking, or any other modern functionality, get Resolve.
The sparklines on Downdetector's homepage can't be compared to each other. Spikes that look similar can actually have a difference of several orders of magnitude. Only meta's services have truly large spikes.
Discord too ?

There appears to be a git remote helper in the repo, so this will work just fine with standard git.
It is like a 2+2=4 equation that touchscreen blocks more time out of the road to carry out simple controls over the car.

Mazda in 2019: “And of course with a touchscreen you have to be looking at the screen while you’re touching...so for that reason we were comfortable removing the touch-screen functionality,” And still to this day, Mazda has minimum controls over a touchscreen.

You mean e2e from mobile app? Because they would have to be able to trigger those failure situations from all layers of microservices for which they have no control over.
IF you try to recover your password you will receive the exact auth code each time that you request it.
This should be considered an act of war.
I'm mostly curious where this very strange misconception might have come from. As much as I was a diehard Commodore fan as a child, at no point did I labour under the misconception that they were dominant enough to be in some kind of monopoly position. After all, the entire period was defined by a vast range of different home computers, at a level not seen before or since.
I think all this is OK. The problem is when it's not transparent. Then you have early employees (even some naive founders) with a lot of stock/options who assume they are going to be compensated with the exit. Then it's quite a shock when they aren't. As a veteran of such things (both successful and unsuccessful exits), I make sure to educate my fellow engineers on how these things work and what their realistic expectations should be.
Discord is also having issues.
This would be a point for sure, except this is a primary and the only people who can vote in it are registered party members. Young people actually registered already care enough to know it's the primary today.

This one is already decided though. Biden on the Democrat side, Trump on the Republican. If anything it might hurt the Trump side a bit, as people may not realize that the Supreme Court only yesterday ruled states can not block him.
Yeah, but at least it's a bit understandable that its changed in that direction, and usually you can get a developer-friendly error message if you look at the HTTP responses in the devtools.

I remember one time a company I worked at received a support message where the title was (paraphrased) "DONT HURT MY CHILDREN" from some person who saw an error message saying something about "couldn't dispose of child" or something similar, when the frontend broke. "Child/children" being kind of common in programming, I'm sure others faced similar scenarios.

I'm not sure if they were genuinely scared or just decided to have some fun with us while reporting the issue, but after that we made the error messages even more generic, so nothing could be misunderstood.

I guess it is this quest to not alienate the lowest common denominator that is the reason behind the stupidification of error messages. On one hand, people won't get scared, on the other hand, people get less context about why the error happened in the first place.

Wonder how many of the average users actually care?
Our rush into AI and embodiment reminds me of the lily pad exponential growth parable.

>Imagine a large pond that is completely empty except for 1 lily pad. The lily pad will grow exponentially and cover the entire pond in 3 years. In other words, after 1 month there will 2 lily pads, after 2 months there will be 4, etc. The pond is covered in 36 months

We're all going to be sitting around at 34 months saying "Look, it's been years and AI hasn't taken over that much of the market.
It appears to be more than Meta, lots of things are showing a spike in reports, including AWS.
Site-swap notation is in terms of "beats". The number is how many beats will elapse for that throw before it lands. The beats alternate hands, so any odd number means that ball is scheduled to land in the opposite hand. The standard cascade is 333, meaning each ball thrown will land three beats later, and in the opposite hand.

The constraint on a useful site-swap number is this: you can't have two balls scheduled to land on the same beat, which would mean arriving at the same hand at the same time. Or more generally a ball can't land when that hand is otherwise occupied.

Advanced jugglers can do that stuff physically (catch simultaneously or in an occupied hand), but it's not the purest version of juggling. More generally, advanced jugglers can do many positional and timing variations including simultaneous catches or throws, that aren't covered by the standard basic site-swap notation. There are extensions to the notation, like using parentheses around two numbers to show two throws occuring at the same time, and if the numbers are different they will land at different times.
More likely that someone bungled a deploy of user auth

How would that affect YouTube?
This is an interesting idea. I like the fact that WASM lets you run locally without any server-side orchestration.

As for me, I already find SQLite's documentation to be the best in the business, and I'm not sure that "I need to see examples of these queries" is the most common learner's problem with sqlite. If this resource is targeted at novices, perhaps a cookbook or tutorial approach could work better than a reference.

In particular, I'm sad to see that the famous railway diagrams didn't make it in. Those are such a perfect unambiguous explanation of sqlite's grammar and usage! They're often all I need to refer to.
Not seeing any updates on the status dashboard, but Google Workspace apps aren't loading properly for me.
No. Ventilated and heated seats are something I want to control easily. And when driving in the sun I have the AC set to 64. When driving at night it's set to 72.

And it's different if I drive with the top down depending on weather. I don't need to look at the buttons to do that now.
Did they imply anything as ridiculous as needing facebook to vote?
The implication is merely that everyone would otherwise have been talking about voting and the results, ie, simply higher than normal traffic. (I'm not sure it would be that much but that was the reasonable interpretation of the comment.)
My password didn't work, and I was like, "oh man, it's finally happened - I've clicked on the wrong link somewhere and my account has been owned".

Whew.
It depends entirely on what you’re used to.

My earliest exposure to computers was a Mac (though Windows, Linux, and BeOS also came into the picture fairly early on) and I don’t find the Mac model the least bit problematic. On the contrary, I find the Win9X model overly simplistic and unmanageable past a small handful of windows.
This could enable development of projects like forks of Yuzu, with reduced risk of DMCA interference.

As was the account hijack process. It just loops.
It's a particular form of cherry-picking, and a weak one. The data is all reported fully and honestly; the only cherry picking is that the experimenter decides when to end the experiment based on when the data they've collected so far is favorable to their preferred hypothesis.

Air bags are ok if you don't have humans inside being pulverized as the craft bounces and rolls. If you have people inside bouncing isn't the best.
That might be the FB traffic instead going to the content producers? I mean half the internet users need to go somewhere else if they want procrastination.
>> abuse ... hallucinations ... inaccurate, offensive, inappropriate ... "safety" standards.

Im loosing the battle but it's not abuse or hallucinations or inaccurate.

These are Bugs, or more accurately DESIGN DEFECTS (much harder to fix).

The rest, the rest is censorship. It's not safety, they censor the models till they fit the world view that the owners want...

The unfiltered, no rules, no censorship models just reflect the ugly realities of the world.

The shame is downstream from the fact that we made child-rearing an expensive luxury that could only be afforded by the few. Either a couple needs enough at-home hours to take care of their own children (this means each parent should only be working at most 7 out of every 14 days because that's how math works) or centralized childcare needs to be affordable and good. People want to have children, people want their children to have children, fix the major fuckups and it'll happen.

Yes, stocks will go down. They will go down harder if we have demographic collapse.

But surely we can't fix the hours because then Asia will eat our lunch by forcing everyone to work 99 hours a week? They have the same problem but much worse and a government that isn't shy about major interventions. If we wanted to lead on this, we could get them to cooperate. If.

Dear business leaders: demographic collapse will swing the pendulum away from capital and towards labor, and policy changes have a 30 year lag built in. It is in your enlightened self interest to get in front of this before it gets in front of you.
Other people do not engage HN in the same pattern you do.

Do we really need such self centered complaints posted over and over?

Go touch grass. Seems like you spend too much time browsing this website.
Given Facebook is like 10% of total Internet bandwidth, I'm curious what happens when all that traffic suddenly gets "redirected" elsewhere by people going to other sites and platforms. Could YouTube cope with a sudden 10% uptick in streams for example?

Edit: YouTube seems now to be defaulting to a lower bitrate, leading me to guess it's a demand issue.

In my experience the host header is pretty strict on Cloudflare mostly because that's how they identify which domain to route. All CF IPs work for any CF hosted hostname; You could curl 1.1.1.1 with your own site's TLS SNI and host header value to get your site back.
Yup. Google OAuth and Facebook, Instagram all are down.

I think its a case of bad deployment by Google.

They recently introduced new OAuth flow.

It's possible that the EU thought: "This is likely enough to end cookie tracking. Surely no company would want to put their users through horrible consent UX just to retain their tracking!" ...and were wrong about just how far companies would be willing to abuse their user's experience, either because of the benefits of tracking, or purely out of malicious compliance.

The anticipated effect of requiring consent is that by forcing companies to shine a flashlight on their own bad behavior, they will instead choose to correct their behavior. That didn't end up happening in practice.
What's wrong with environmental determinism? Obviously our civilizations are influenced by our environment; that's why Egypt formed around the Nile delta, instead of forming a hundred miles west in the Sahara.

Pro tip: in chase meta actually got hacked, it would be good idea to not use that password on any other websites, change them immediately.
They are there to learn the topic at hand, not to delegate it to someone else whether that be chatgpt or a tutor they pay to take the uni exam for them with their student id. If a job is fine with hiring a delegator thats great for both parties but some jobs need domain experts too who can sniff bullshit from the ai output even if they do use it day to day.
Android apps are written in Java and Java is a memory safe language like Rust.

(Null pointer exceptions are a logic error, not a memory error.)
Essentially Windows sucks. I’ve been using MacOS, but I really wish I could get a generous amount of RAM and HD at a reasonable price.
I’m seeing a lot of non-FB services down too. Mostly AWS-based, but not all. My original conspiracy thoughts (this being Super Tuesday in the US) are giving away to thinking it’s some low level routing issue.
When my kids were applying to summer programs, they asked them what they do in their free time, and listing things like reading and practicing crocheting got a very unenthusiastic responses. The expectation is your kid will do a lot, maybe it could be free stuff, but generally free stuff requires more time from the parents.
Great write up, thanks for sharing this.

As a founder, I'd always though that >1x was predatory with no excuses, but your #2 really clarified that an appropriate situation.
Fair question.

I'm working in the crypto industry and I had the same impression.

Last time I heard about Radicle was the last bull market. Then it was silent in the bear, which is kinda strange, since everyone is always saying, bear markets are for building and Radicle certainly is a builder tool.
They are, and if you're not observing this you're observing programmers so mediocre they don't know to use good tools, or programmers who are so incredible at their micro-niche that there's a good chance they're one of the sources for what ChatGPT would try to spit back at them.

ChatGPT can write great documentation, great test data, great utility functions and passable tests. It's great at refactors that are conceptually simple but just messy enough to be outside the ability of IDE refactor tools. It's great at taking things like models or data and generating code that does something for each model or row in the data given a template. It's great at taking stub classes and fleshing them out based on usage examples/comments.

ChatGPT's coding ability is directly related to your choice of language, how you structure your code base and how you prompt. If your code base is a bunch of small strongly typed functions written in a popular language like typescript/java that get composed together and you feed it the defs it needs in context, it can be surprisingly good. If you're writing 300+ line imperative spaghetti (particularly in a less popular language) it's gonna lose the script unless you ask it to make small changes.
The GDPR and DMA are mostly good. GDPR should have exemptions for organisations with smaller amounts of data who do not trade in it.

A lot of EU laws have also been bad. VATMOSS (especially with the very low initial limit to register) was initially a disaster. It actually deterred people from trading within the EU! The commission's attempt at chat surveillance was thrown out by the parliament, but they will try again. The new AI regulations look problematic. The draft I saw of the AI one was far too broad (included old tech like expert systems) - not checked recently whether it has changed. There are also issues with a lack of FOSS exemptions in the other current law (forgotten what it is called) imposing greater liability for faults in some categories of software.
