> Another narrative advanced by imperialist media is that TikTok and its algorithm are responsible for the rise of support for the Palestinian cause against the US-Israeli occupation. TikTok has indeed enabled westerners to see videos of IDF soldiers committing atrocities. A viral meme the IDF brass seems unable to shut down involves IDF soldiers wearing the lingerie of Palestinian women whose homes they have destroyed. Western critics blame the TikTok algorithm for guiding youth towards content critical of the imperial project, but if TikTok has had any effect on western impressions of the empire it is merely through accurately depicting the reality on the ground in an ongoing genocide.

> The Israeli colonial administration’s call for seizing TikTok serves multiple ends. Even conservative westerners have come to admit that Netanyahu is campaigning for Trump’s reelection, as the prevailing sentiment in Israel is that the US is preventing the IDF from winning the war on Gaza due to wokeness. Blaming TikTok for western youth’s growing criticism of the occupation distracts from the horrid reality of the genocide while pushing the flailing Biden administration to adopt a policy that will be incredibly unpopular among American youth: banning their favorite app. Biden must lose for Netanyahu to win, and the feckless Democrats are playing right into this strategy.
I don't know how common this is, but for me pickles (and their juice) trigger intense disgust and involuntary gagging. If pickles were on the cutting board or touched the knife, I will not be able to enjoy the sandwich. When ordering a sandwich I'll always ask for no pickles on the sandwich or the plate/take out container. It seems I'm an edge case this system doesn't anticipate, I wonder how they handle pickle-averse customers?
That'd be an s-curve, as it's always going up - a bell curve goes up then down.

Hey folks!

I want to share a blog post and video we made, it is a trilogy dedicated to the offensive security of turnstiles and their related systems. We made the video using a lot of AI (creation of the avatar, voice, scenery, among others). :>

In this episode, we focus specifically on turnstiles used in physical access control systems. Have you ever wondered, "How can I cheat a turnstile?" If that question has ever crossed your mind, you'll want to watch our first episode to learn how ethical hackers do it.

We will explore critical aspects such as facial recognition and the physical security of turnstiles. Additionally, we will discuss access to the wiring and internal components of the turnstiles, a crucial point for system security. A special highlight will be given to the use of 'Bump Keys' for unauthorized opening, demonstrating exploitable vulnerabilities. Finally, we will address design issues that may occur in turnstiles.

Are you intrigued by lockpicking attacks? If that's your kind of thrill, our new video is a must-watch for you. We delve into a rapid entry strategy used by our experts and bring theory and practice on the lock bumping. Learn the ins and outs of how lock bumping works and see it in action.

The beginning may be a little monotonous, but it gets more interesting, watch until the end and you'll like it. Here is a timeline of what we have in the video.

0:00 Introduction
3:36 Facial recognition evasion (biometric bypass)
6:02 Facial recognition evasion using a social media photo
7:51 Access to wiring and internal components of the turnstile
9:58 Use of Bump Key for unauthorized opening (lock bumping practice and theory)
12:25 Design issues in the turnstile (Rapid Entry)

This post reminded me of a video I found really cool from a couple years back where Masahiro Sakurai(creator of Kirby, Super Smash Bros) talked about the importance of accessibility options and how Japanese developers - at the time, were lagging behind their western counterparts. He shows examples from and references Sony/Naughty Dog's 'The Last of Us'.

I'm not sure if this is something that Sakurai influenced or not, though I have noticed larger Japanese AAA game studios adding more and more features in terms of accessibility in the last couple years from studios such as Ryu Go Gotoko(Yakuza series), Capcom(Resident Evil, Street Fighter), and FromSoft(Dark Souls, Elden Ring)

I'm thinking scenario where world will be using 300% more oil by adopting 50x more plastic use for large scale application with oil selling at 1/3 of the price, loe enough to break models of more expensive extractors so cheap producers have near monopoly over commodity. All very hypothetical. But imo essentially everything you see in built environment could be covered or finished in plastic if performance / price right. I can imagine world where we use much more oil.
2000 repos what the fuck. More repos than engineers sounds terrible. Having worked in a large monolithic repo, I much prefer that. Everything (Shipping, testing, debugging, etc) is much easier that way.

Buying growth stocks in a regular brokerage account is also "tax sheltered" in several ways, as I explained. What do you think high earners did for a hundred years before the the recent introduction of back door techniques?

Your "actual point" has little basis in the facts.
I worked with a monorepo and multiple teams dedicated to the dev experience, I had my complaints but I was spoiled in hindsight.

I know they did alot with git to make it manageable, hopefully what ever they did makes it to the open source world eventually so we can all avoid these crazy thousand repo worlds.

I agree. My reading journey has been from fantasy to sci fi and then to books that tip more towards literary fiction and interesting writing styles.

With sci fi, once you've read a lot of it there are tropes that so often get repeated it can be very predictable. The type of books I used to enjoy I now find boring, but that doesn't mean they are bad or not worthwhile.

I do not dismiss the writing styles that I no longer enjoy, and still recommend those books. By the same token I hope people who prefer the plainer style wouldn't dismiss books with more literary prose.
> I find it interesting that we have sayings like this, and sayings like "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

How can the market be irrational? People either are purchasing enough of these services to make the business viable, or they are not.

> Because the market doesn't price in externalities.

Legal liability for harmful externalities factors directly into the market for insurance and other operating expenses. Preemptive regulation is usually unnecessary, and often entails its own deleterious effects.
> When the tide of stupidity grows insurmountable, and The People cannot be stopped from self-harm, you get collapse,

Yes, people are unfortunately highly unaware of what societal ecosystem they depend on, and so cannot prioritize on what is important. These topics don't sell in media shows.

>That's because it comes from a lake high in the hills above any industrial or agricultural activity.

Half correct, but not completely correct..

I'm also assuming it remains very cold or even frozen for a huge portion of the year. The water is never getting to a temperature that allows much of the dangerous things to humans to grow. For example here in Texas you're apt to get amoebas in the 25-35C waters.

Also that high in the mountains you're probably getting water off mineral rock that's had very few interactions with the biosphere to accumulate wastes from animals.

You don't need industrial or agricultural activity to kill you.
Bevyengine is open source and very findable by most search engines.

It's always a bit funny to me how much of the Synopsis IP ends up in different chips. As an example a decade+ ago I implemented a from-scratch USB Peripheral stack on an STM32 microcontroller, basically because the vendor SDK wasn't capable of doing what I needed or being readily modified to do what I needed. A couple of years ago I was debugging some firmware for a chip from a completely different vendor and noticed that the USB registers looked... familiar. Looked back at the original project and was somewhat surprised to discover that it was exactly the same registers in the same order just mapped to a different spot in memory.
I've picked up Forth to code for Agon Light, which is a new spin on those old platforms - it's BBC Micro-patterned, but uses some modern chips to make things faster and roomier. Easy to develop for on emulator too. One of the complaints I've read about Forth on micros was that even 8Kb interpreter overhead would be too much for a commercial game - what I've gathered is that many people used it primarily as a macroassembler in that context. But I have 512Kb and 20MHz to play with, plus external display processing, so I can probably ignore that overhead and do just fine.

I find Forth quite a bit easier to work with when I treat it as an interactive stack machine and do the bulk of development through offline code generation. That gives me a best-of-both where I can do useful things interactively, but I can add compiler tech to help rein in and structure whatever I'm doing.
Come to Atlanta, down the street from me are two completely separate Waffle Houses built right next to each other that share the same parking lot.
Yeah that is a great article, and I agree that long polling an events endpoint along with a cursor gets you most of the way there for browser clients. At that point, things start to resemble the Kafka protocol.
Assistive technology keeps growing and improving, though.

These days most operating systems already come with a voice control feature, designed for people with a motor impairment to use their device entirely by voice.

When you add alt text to an image button, you're not just enabling a blind user to hear a description, you're also enabling someone with carpal tunnel to speak the name of that button to activate it.

Most other accessibility APIs and preferences have multiple use cases like that, too.

That's why accessibility is designed the way it is: you're not modifying your app to work with specific disabilities, you're adding missing semantics and respecting user accessibility preferences, and assistive technology adapts things to work with different users.
Late bloomers who made a comeback from rock bottom, how did you do it?
I know HNers are mostly people who lean on the right end of the IQ spectrum. And exposed to and dabbled in tech/science/finance very young or just able to learn it crazy fast.

I think i am at best, of average intellect with no special skills (hopefully things will change going forward) and although i am trying to get better, it is slow and hard. I hope to be a late bloomer rather than someone who never bloomed and would love to hear your stories about how you overcame your personal challenges.
Isn't it? Elections are for political institutions, so what you're describing amounts to having political control over land use decisions. OTOH, the market is another, much more direct expression of the intent and values of the local people, so why not just stick with that?
Downtown Atlanta for sure. There was also one near me when I lived in downtown Colorado Springs, which has half a million people.
This problem also shows up in Intel's latest Meteor Lake laptop processors, which are supposed to be able to power off the CPU chiplet and idle with the two low-power cores on the SoC chiplet. In practice, most OEMs ship too much crapware on their laptops for that capability to kick in, and it's really hard to get Windows cleaned up enough to get the battery life the chip ought to provide.
Also New Orleans (by the VA Hospital). And I recall eating at one in on the northside of Dallas (which may or may not be "urban")

I think people are much more conservative with their health than text generation. If the text looks funky, you can just try regenerating it, or write it yourself and have only lost a few minutes. If your health starts looking funky, you're kind of screwed.
Unless everyone will just binge on low hanging dopamine fruits.
Having worked with both, I think it's really much more about having someone (a team) dedicated to dev experience, maintaining good onboarding tooling, CI/CD, build infrastructure, security configurations, SOP's around package repositories, container image registries, static code analysis tooling, and the works. If you have 2000 repos but finding what you need is easy, then the number itself is not an issue. If you have 1 repo and running unit tests for a small component before merging takes 8 hours, again the number of repos is probably not the issue.
Exactly my take.

I'd further state that LLMs appear to do ok with generating limited amounts of new code. Telling them "Here's a class, generate a bunch of unit tests" works. However, telling them "Generate me a todo application" will give mixed results at best.

Further, it seems like updating and changing code is simply right out of their wheelhouse. That's where I think devs will be primarily valuable. Someone needs to understand the written code for when the feature request eventually bubbles through "Now also be able to do x". I don't think you'll be able to point an LLM at a code repository and instruct it "Update this project so that it can do feature X"
> The thing is, they can't host you as they like, if you're breaking this rule.

Except that the rule can be satisfied just by labeling it, and if there are penalties for not labeling but no penalties for labeling then the obvious incentive is to stick the label on everything just in case, causing it to become meaningless.

To prevent that would require prohibiting the label from being applied to things that aren't AI-generated, which is impracticable because now you need 100% accuracy and there is no way to err on the side of caution, but nobody has 100% accuracy. So then the solution would be to actually make everything AI-generated, e.g. by systematically running it through some subtle AI filter, and then you can get back to labeling everything to avoid liability.
Oof, yep. Look at a stop sign. And think about all the lives of all the people through all the decades that sign has been standing there.

Each person connected to everyone else in a web of history.

Every single living being having a unique experience, every second of every day. Every inanimate object having a history that might span back through to the beginning of time. Lonely rocks floating through space for longer than we can even fathom.

Sonder is a wonderful feeling.
It's not a lack of empathy, I literally don't know how this would work in the driver's favor. I rarely carry cash. If we got to the destination and the driver demanded cash, what's he expecting will happen? Everywhere I've taken a cab in the last decade requires cabs to have CC readers.
Not even closely related roadrunners do this too, when talking with them (they're very sociable if they know you). It reminds me of the way cats twitch their tails when thinking up something imminently playful.
Most consumer cameras require access menus to enable raw because dealing with RAW is a truly terrible user experience. The vast majority of image/video sensors out there don't even support raw recordings, out of the box.

Holy Jesus Buddha Muhammad on a Harley. 2000 repos for a messageboard?!

I don't think someone knows what "repository" means.

At least they're bringing in Sourcegraph. That tool's helped me make sense of some chaos. Not 2000 repos' worth of chaos, but still, some chaos.
Every cross-platform GUI toolkit I've ever seen has accessibility support. You just need to learn how to use it.

There hasn't been any confirmation about how exactly it happened. It seems to me that the most likely scenario was these players got phished prior to the tournament and were already infected with malware.
If it is the other way around, one might ascribe nefarious motives to those in the media and politics who push woke agendas. Preying upon the weak for ratings/votes.
Really similar to backups in this regard. People don't appreciate it, until they need it. Then it goes from "I don't care, leave me alone, inconvenience" to "life-saving essential thing, why doesn't everyone care about this all the time".
I think we had 200 across three teams and that was starting to become miserable. Which is to say I was miserable and others were slowly coming around.

I started eyeballing two of them to combine because they were dominating stack trace frames, and after a number of rounds of feature toggle cleanup and refactoring to use other modules, had dwindled down to about 60% of a reasonable module size.

Not a lot of this sort of work gets done.
Ah yep I'm aware of that. Bevy is a framework/engine that devs built on top of. I was referring to the project that OP has built on top of Bevy
In Python, I think of them as, DuckDB is for getting the data you want, in the form you want it, from a file / remote place. Polars is for when you want to do something with that data, like visualize it.

`duckdb.sql("SELECT foo, bar * 2 as bar_times_2 FROM ...").pl()` (now in polars format) -> other stuff

In Rust, it's a bit fuzzier to me, as DuckDB is a pretty heavy dependency. I'm looking more and more fondly at DataFusion.
Now that's what I call early adoptering! :^)
I don't think Brown Bear Car wash is taking a loss on $20 automated car washes. Also, Seattle has a rule in place that we can't wash our cars at home, so we have to go to an automated or DIY manual car wash if we want to wash our cars are all, making the business an essential here.

If they someday redevelop the car washes, they will just be replaced with a tall building that has a car wash on the first floor, well, when all cars are electric that will be feasible.

Or neither: let us define "woke" as (thank you DeSantis) "the belief there are systemic injustices in ${COUNTRY}'s society and the need to address them", yielding two (thank you De Morgan) possible cases:

In the case where either there were no such systemic injustices or there were no need to address any existing injustice, anxiety and depression would be evidence of mental dysfunction.

In the case where there were such systemic injustices and they ought to be (but had not been) addressed, anxiety and depression would be evidence of mental function.
