Are you just linking random things now? As with your citation of an address that is clearly just a legal office, I don't think you are reading the things you are linking or you just link them and think it gives credibility.

Posting a fake job listing to acquire an LMIA spot to airdrop someone getting kicked out of another country *is 100% LMIA fraud, 100% of the time*. It is an illegal abuse of this program.

The LMIA process requires that you demonstrate that there are no Canadians (or PRs) available to fill a role at going market rates. It is not "post a fake listing, wait a while, punt some random Indian over to Canada" freebie. Random links don't demonstrate otherwise.

Does this sort of fraud happen all the time? Of course it does. The government has started to get some heat so they're starting to pay a bit more attention now though, so future results may vary.

Depends on your hobbies, I guess. VR is kinda janky IMO and gets old pretty quickly, especially if it's not connected to a powerful gaming PC.
There’s numpy in the middle, so bits are outside python. The vast majority of the code is Python though and the performance gains come from being strategic about the architecture.

My point is that for most usecases you can go a lot further by looking at the code that’s running rather than the language that’s running it.
Is the goal to eliminate most humans? Think of how much less meat and gas we’d use if we just killed everybody and replaced them with efficient computers.
That's what makes the demo hilarious. It doesn't actually get through the chatbot. The presenter just gives up.
Maybe. That implies that hardware evolution strictly benefits Bar and not Foo. But what has happened so far is that hardware advancements to accelerate NewThing also accelerate OldThing.

The difference between Rig and other build systems is that it doesn't do anything for you. Others like to magically make your build work.

If customers are willing to use an app, that makes things a lot easier to implement. Safeway/Vons in the US only have self-checkout machines. Seems like it's shifted towards per-item produce pricing, but the stickers often fall off.
Yes, they have systems to learn this way, but it assumes the environment is controlled (always) and the task identical (always).

Lots of automation works this way, but it actually limits the applications quite a bit.

A robot that can safely work along side people (i.e., a "cobot") and adjust to environment changes and changing work patterns is a whole different beast.

This is actually a bit ridiculous - having helped clients more than once, this can be the same for employees, contractors and partners. Nothing new here.
reproducible builds never made sense to me. if you trust the person giving you the hash, just get the binary from them. you don't need to reproduce the build at all.

if you trust that they're giving you the correct hash, but not the correct binary, then you're not thinking clearly.

Couldn't help noticing the app size is ~150MB - not sure if this is something you can avoid, or if maybe all AVP apps automatically include a lot of extra cruft, but it feels like surely an app this simple shouldn't have to be that big?
The article goes into great detail on how they plan to fund themselves.
The distinction between authentication and authorization is important, but only in the context of what’s checking that auth(n/z) is valid.

For something like SSH which has authentication and authorization as features, I would expect to talk about an RCE in that context, and not the backdoor’s auth features.

This backdoor bypasses both authentication (not requiring an account password, authorized key, etc on the target system) as well as authorization (as it doesn’t check a user against any policy for what commands or users can log in).
I don't know what HackerNoon is but I think the crypto bubble is over at this point. That could just be leftover marketing spam? Nobody cares about it anymore.
Monitoring AI-Modified Content: Impact of ChatGPT on AI Conference Peer Reviews
> Whenever I told friends of mine I was working on a story about cheating at bass fishing, they always asked the same thing: How in the world do you cheat at bass fishing? Let me count the ways, I’d tell them.

> By far, the most common way people cheat is to store a fish basket or pet taxi under a dock, filled with lunkers they’d caught before the event, and then retrieve the fish while they were supposed to be out fishing. A variation on this would be to attach a string to a stump in the water and hook various fish to the string. This way allows fishermen to retrieve the fish while faking that they actually caught them, just in case they were paired up in the boat with a competitor. There was the story that Ray Scott told me about a man who showed up for a tournament wearing a full-length raincoat even though there wasn’t a cloud in the sky — his partner later discovered the man had a string of bass draped around his neck. There was the guy in the U.K. who last year won a bass fishing tournament with a 13-pounder, only to have the second-place finisher recognize the giant bass from a recent trip he had taken to the local aquarium with his daughter. They called the aquarium and, sure enough, it was missing a big bass. People have been caught buying fish off of noncompetitors on the lake during an event, or sharing fish between colluding teams.

5 X 5 is also really fun. It's the queen side basically, with a row of pawns in front. So there's only one row of open spaces between the two sides. It really stretches my brain to play it, but has helped me get better at calculation for sure.
I don't mean to blow your mind, but humans are a part of nature. One advantage we have over other species is that we can spot patterns and work collectively to fix undesirable situations or circumstances. And if our fix causes further problems, we can fix those too!

We're flawed creatures so it's not ideal, but it sure beats being at the mercy of the forces nature uses to correct things on its own, like diseases and famine.

Assuming they have injected code into the sshd executable, couldn't that code just do the exploit without a connection? What I'm saying is that the structure of this payload is the way it is because sshd is accessible. Had it not been accessible, the payload just wouldn't have required an external connection.

I'm not fully understanding your product here. If I have a NextJS app, is this like Copilot that would help write some of the component code? If so, how is it better?

Then when you say you provide Auth etc, does this mean we have to fully commit to use your stack for auth etc, or can we put this in an app that has existing auth with, say, Auth.js or similar?
Instead of x86, it would be interesting to have an FPGA based PDP10 clone with 32MB of RAM, ITS patches with DNS support and, maybe, a gopher and an IRC client could be built on it. 36 bit CPU's are very interesting.

I don't feel like checking out is any faster than it used to be. They replace 10 human checkout lanes with maybe 15 self-checkout lanes and 2 human checkout. Maybe the self-checkout is a cheaper so they can have more, but people are so much slower on those that it doesn't win in the end. Dunno if the store is even really incentivized to make checkout fast, given that they sell high-margin stuff in the lines.

Maybe one advantage is it finally stops customers from asking to pay half with a check and half with cash for a $2 item in certain places. There's an entire Walgreens I avoid because that's happened 3 times already.
Yeah, I think that's a great idea, I would love to see that happen.
> If you think of how Unity made it easy for devs to build cross-platform games, the idea is to do the same thing for all visual applications.

But why wouldn't I "just" use Unity?

I agree with you. Nobody cares about the platform specific details anymore, and people are willing to pay a little bit of money for an end-all-be-all middleware. I have gone my whole life not paying attention to a single Apple-specific API, and every single time, someone has written a better, more robust, cross-platform abstraction.

But Unity is already this middleware. I already can make a whole art application on top of Unity (or Unreal). People do. Sometimes people build whole platforms on top of Unity and are successful (Niantic) and some are not (Improbable). You're one guy. You are promising creating a whole game engine - you're going to get hung up on not using the word game engine, but that is intellectually honest, it is a game engine - which a lot of people 1,000x better capitalized than you have promised, and those people have been unable to reach parity with Unity after years of product development. So while I want you to succeed, I feel like a lot of Y Combinator guys have this, "We make no mistakes, especially we do not make strategic mistakes." It's going to be a long 3 years!
I hate that you had a bad experience with it. I love that game. Laughing at each others blunders is what makes it entertaining.

>But photogrammetry has already been a thing for quite awhile.

Current photogrammetry to my knowledge requires much more data than NeRfs/Gaussian splatting. So this could be a way to get more data for the "dumb" photogrammetry algorithms to work with.
If you wanted to breed better pickpockets, maybe*. The overlap between "a machine does it better" and "people's best time-domain visual perception" has to be huge; can you think of any major occupations where better than 24fps would be a significant advantage?

* even here I'd bet attention to (and effective control of) the mark's attention is far more important than sheer frame rate
A16Z's Gaming Fund to invest $30M in the next 45 days in multiple startups
This is the epitome of "AI" shovelware. The demo literally shows that it doesn't work.
We built a streaming CDC pipeline in MSSQL and have aggregated joins to a flat table on the analytics database side. It's like 80 lines a table with half of that being a bulk load from the beginning of time in case we ever need to add a new columns or change schemas. We built it as a command line argument though I'm sure others do something similar.

80 lines could be trimmed down if we made some base class abstraction but it shipped and we don't touch it and moved on to other features.
It means that the current low fertility rate associated with economic progress and education might not lead to the collapse of technological civilisation even if the population drops to a more sustainable level.

I tried wearing my Garmin to bed for a while, but the information just wasn't that interesting. I can see where science gets value out of a population study but for the N=1 population consisting of yourself, I just wasn't seeing the point.
Chatbots are an API that implement a serialization and interchange format compatible with lay human beings. Now we have an API client implemented for that serialization and interchange format. It seems natural. Sort of like being surprised you built an API and that someone used it.
This works in reverse, too; want to give something away? Put it on the street with a "Free" sign, and watch it sit for days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrmMk1Myrxc says nothing about humans in the loop, and that it's technology, all automatic.

Am I surprised? No, not at all. But there is a definitely "how it was marketed", "how it was implemented" here.
Also, with the solid foundation and simple API footprint you've built for APIs like sokol_audio, would be interesting to see if they could be expressed in WIT and used as a basis for something like a wasi-audio.
Not being paid for your work while others profit from it surely doesn’t help with one’s mental state.

No, it's not TB, it's a few GB for small projects, and tens of GB for large projects. Rarely does a project ever get over 30-40GB.

If you're going to want any amount of decent performance, you're going to have to deal with async. That's just the nature of IO bound applications.

There's really two parts to worry about: getting an interview, and then passing the interview.

The getting the interview part is difficult: some places will more liberally interview candidates, and others more heavily screen them. The three things that you can change to improve your odds here are tailoring your resume to use more words and phrases from the job description (trying to game any AI or human resume screener), networking to try to bypass the screening stage altogether, and casting as wide of a net as possible. Networking can be anything from having a social media presence, going to various forms of dev events, talking to friends about open roles they've heard about, or even cold emailing people you're interested in (although, if you do this, you'll probably have more luck asking to zoom/coffee for career advice than asking if they have a job available for you). And then, regarding the role you're targeting, I moved into increasingly technical roles starting as a data analyst-- I know not everyone would agree with this approach, but it worked well for me. I was a really technical analyst, who became a data scientist, who worked up the ranks, and then started moving between DE/MLE/DS roles. But this was also back in the days when "data scientist" was a new term, and before it got so watered down-- so maybe with title inflation, my original "data analyst" jobs might be "data scientist" jobs today? Anyway, my point is that I think it's easier to slowly slide in to your ideal role than it is to try to hop directly into it.

The passing the interview part ends up being so much about how you communicate and frame work that you've done. It sucks because this ends up inadvertently screening out really smart/good people that struggle with this kind of thinking (and screening in people who are good at talking but suck at doing e.g., many MBAs). But once you're talking to a live person, I think emphasizing how your degrees (both grad and ugrad) have really prepared you for exactly the role in front of you. You can also often take non-technical experience as evidence of certain components of the technical job requirements. Like, I worked in a restaurant when I was a teenager, and you better believe that prepared me to deal with many concurrent demands from many different sources, and required me to think on my feet about the priority/order of operations. So, when I was earlier in my career, I got really good at answering questions along the lines of "you know, I haven't done this work in a single role, but I have experience doing everything you're asking for over multiple roles..."

But it sounds like a lot of the issue you're running into is just getting in the door to begin with? Unfortunately, I think so much of it comes down to luck-- just keep applying to as large of a variety of jobs as possible, and network as much as you can.
Less creepy being watched by actual people I think. They'll usually just forget about you after a few days instead of cataloging every time you lingered at a shelf selling hemorrhoid cream and storing it in a database forever.
Walmart is demoing a scan as you shop system that I think relies on user cameras and the app. At least that was my impression.

With American hardware at SCO the scanners are just peripherals like a keyboard and a person walking around the store with them would tie up an entire POS computer while items were being scanned with it.

If the portable scanner were itself a portable device this would be tractable however how do you keep people from stealing or destroying them?

Ask HN: Why has ChatGPT a bias towards correctness?
I am using ChatGPT (3.5) as an assistant for programming and using tools like Terraform or jq.

It's much more useful than Googling and gives helpful answers most of the time, although sometimes it takes refining the answers through repeated questions. There are hallucinations but I think it's more often right than wrong and very often it can answer questions on an expert level.

When you search the web on your own you encounter many incorrent, misleading, outdated info on a lot of technical topics, though.

So how is it that ChatGPT overall seems to generate more correct and helpful answers than misleading info?

Add to that list suppression of warnings from valgrind and address sanitizer without any justification. And no tracking issue to follow up on fixing the problem so the suppression can be removed.

Committing binary files to source control rather than including build commands to generate the files is a bit of a red flag.
I can't find any information to corroborate the alleged "4.8 stars out of 5" on Trustpilot. As another commenter mentioned, that's not a real Trustpilot embed. Seems sketchy to me. I can't imagine that T-Mobile and friends would be happy about their logos being on display on this site, either way.

Fun concept. I imagine that, if such tools become popular, companies will start trying to chatbot-proof their chatbots.

Abuse of the program? Absolutely.

Illegal? I haven't heard of any Software firm prosecuted for this yet.

Feel free to apply to the job and litigate it if you don't get it if you want to make a statement.

Also, those are not random links. Rippling is the primary HR Platform used by YC and YC funded startups, and I gave you the IRCC Page explicitly listing which roles are except from LMIA filings.

This is kind of why I dislike coop games. In competitive games, if I suck, fine, I suck and I get the low score or do badly.

I'd like to see a patent that actually confirms this. The Curie temperature of the common ferromagnetic metals is well above the boiling point of water, which raises some questions as to what one would make the alloy out of.

Canadian nickels were made of nickel until 1981. Assuming you have a magnet that's heat resistant, you can do a cool demo with a torch or gas stove: pick up the coin with the magnet and dangle it in the flames. You'll know when it hits the Curie temperature. It'll fall off the magnet.

This typically won't be accurate enough for closed loop kinematics, especially at any sort of speed.
I'll try to contextualize it in the case of something like AST merging so it's more familiar.

Imagine you have file A and file B. In one change someone adds some code that imports something from file B into file A. In another change someone deletes file B without touching file A. That will result in a valid three-way merge. However, your compiler will complain and you will have to update file A to remove the references to file B. This is okay because you can edit the plain-text and fix the inconsistency. This doesn't work for things where you can't really hop in and manually fix the conflict.

You could definitely create a tool that understand the AST and knows how to remove stale references. If you add in the requirement that there cannot be inconsistent states at any commit you've essentially derived an entirely new merging system. Could you build this on top of git? Sure, it's a plain-text system, you could build anything on top it. Is there any gain if the point of the system is to disallow manual conflict resolution and enforce consistent state? I don't think so but maybe I'm not seeing something.
