How is this relevant to this conversation?

The author replied with the same effort as the person who reported the issue. You kinda need to do this as a maintainer if you don't want to drawn under low quality reports and burn all your energy. I'm sure lucasjinreal would have gotten a kinder answer if they took time to phrase their issue ("demand", at this point, also misguided) nicely.
I just use a small little PC (no NAS) to stream content from the internet. For local, over the air broadcasts, I use a Hauppague external USB dual tuner that has been rock solid for years.

The PC controls everything using a gyro/air mouse. The only thing the big dumb TV provides is a HDMI display. No mess, no ads, no injected content, no spying. I have full control of what I choose to see --- sports, movies, etc.. You would be hard pressed to name something I can't get.

> We've gone from fixed desks and floors divided by department to stupid flex desks

I've also felt quite discouraged by this. Before the pandemic, our projects had a specific area in the building. Now, it's about arriving early to find a spot somewhere in the building, often far from team members. But it's a catch-22 because the whole team agrees to work from the office, to prove space isn't wasted.
Did they evaluate regilious in-between-ing? I don't think they could do that, it seems it is very accute. In my country, it seems so much accute, laws were setup to fight just that...
> but most of the problems I've encountered came from people who aren't suited to working remotely at all

I think this is where a lot of the dichotomy in people's experiences come from. Existing remote companies select for people who are effective in remote (who in turn self-select too).

But if you force an existing organization (or even the whole economy) to go full remote, you will get many people being very inefficient since they just don't work remote just as well as in-person.

> As for Musk saying "it ain't fair for service employees" I reply those are different jobs. Poor excuse.

Of course it's poor excuse, solidarity amongst workers is something Musk actively fights against, using that as a rallying cry for this is more than a poor excuse, it's blatant weaponisation of empathy against workers themselves.

Ask HN: I found a security issue on a (known) website, should I report it? How?
Hey HN,

Today I tinkered around with a public API and found a security issue (SQL injection). I don't want to get in trouble and I read about cases where the owner of the site sued the reporter of an issue.

I was not looking for issues, I'm not trying to sell this issue nor selling data - I found it accidentally. I could ignore it, but before someone is using this in a harmful way, I thought: Let's ask the experts.

There is no bug bounty program, the site is probably handcrafted (no frameworks like Keystone, WordPress or something).

So I would love get some advice how to handle this?!

Thank you.
But are people really going to do this? The cost here seems prohibitive unless you're doing a subscription type game (and even then I'm not sure). And the kinds of games that benefit from open ended dialogue attract players who just want to pay an upfront cost and have an adventure.

(All the sudden having nightmares of getting billed for the conversations I have in the single player game I happen to be enjoying...)

If there is a future with this idea, its gotta be just shipping the LLM with game right?
I think you’re completely missing the point. This has nothing to do with moving the economic needle.

Having 90% of the most important semiconductors in the world made on an island 90 miles from China, which China wants to take back, is a bit of a problem.

By the way, doesn't competition law say anything about these gifts?
Not really.

For this it's instructive to look at China's nuclear program [1]. Wikipedia does not mention, but the origin of China's program is a uranium bomb design that was developed in the US, stolen by the Soviets and passed unchanged to the Chinese. The first 7 Chinese tests were all based on uranium bombs. The 6th one was a real, two-stage, thermonuclear bomb, with a yield of 3 MT. But the one before it, the Chic-5 test was a boosted fission design with a yield of 300 kT.

300kT exceeds the upper limit of any of the tests done by India, Pakistan or North Korea, and they are all considered bona-fide nuclear powers.

I had to learn to work remotely. It took me years.

It is clear that there is demand for consulting into making great WFH companies. Companies will have to learn from each other in this.
ah - i see you've never dealt with vodafone germany customer support then
WFH can also greatly increase productivity.
The debate about whether WFH is good/bad works/doesn't is pretty much had already yes.

But I never found it very interesting. The key insight at this point really is that employees, I think, mostly don't care whether WHF is more or less effective, or whether companies function better or worse with WFH. They are going to work from home regardless. So they'll end up at companies that either believe that "it works".

And after that, there is a second insight that follows from that: it becomes self fulfilling. If enough people refuse to work in an office then companies that force office work are going to recruit from an ever shrinking talent pool. Eventually they'll be less effective even if they would function much better given the same employees or salary budgets as the companies with WFH.
If they would be smaller, e.g. a new startup on the marked, I would agree. But currently its the defacto place for your music to put if you want an audience. I would argue that one with that much marked power should be held accountable for such actions, e.g. with stronger marked regulations preventing arising monopolies.
I despise flex desk policies. Not being able to feel like it's "my" spot, that I can organize how I want, is giving me anxiety.

> ULG's plot on the other hand has no distinctive scientifically interesting peculiarity that it seems to be built on. It might as well have occurred on Earth just as it does in 'Anarres' or 'Urras'.

How bizarre.

My reading -- and I was a kid, it was so long ago -- is this:

Communism is inherently flawed because if resources can be accumulated then some will rise in wealth and power. If that country lacks the resources, then there are other countries from which they can be taken.

But in the Disposessed this cannot happen. It is a thought experiment: how could one set up a communist society that would be stable and work?

If you have a whole planet that has few resources, but it's colonized by another which has many.

But planets are far apart. So instead, it's a moon. Moons are relatively close. Earth humans got there in the 1960s, almost without computers, without microprocessors.

But why?

OK, we have a big rich parent planet with lots of resources, but a troublesome political minority who aren't happy with the distribution of resources. That's certainly plausible.

So they ship them offworld to the marginally-habitable moon. It needs help to get going but it's so bleak nobody wants it. (So no territory need be taken from anyone.) There can be no acquisition of external resources; it's too far away. There can be no emigration back to a better life, unless they build spacecraft. They're stuck there, but they wanted to be, to show that their system could work. (Though the children have no choice.)

So they do.

It's a beautiful carefully and minutely calculated model of how communism could be made to work, and it couldn't hang together unless it were a habitable moon of a more-habitable planet.

It's perfect. It's flawless. It has to be how it is. It couldn't happen here or anywhere else.
Typically a company would post a contact channel for this type of stuff. The boilerplate is security@company.com, which is what my (small) startup does.

Barring that an email to the administrator through a contact form would work. If you're worried about how they will percieve this feedback, I'd start with a query before submitting the issue. "I noticed a potential security issue with your site. What is the best way to report it?".

Mobile devices represent more than half of web traffic in general. Windows laptops are not the primary device CSS color support is trying to address.

Apple, Samsung and Google all ship devices with display P3 capable screens.
Unicode is more challenging when you're talking about hardware acceleration. On an Apple //e, displaying a new character required writing 1 byte to a video region. The hardware used that byte to index into a ROM to determine what to display. Today's computers are faster, but they must also transmit more bytes to change the character display.

That said, I can imagine more clever uses of displays might produce significantly faster displays.
I disagree. You don't want the government to own things because they would be slow and ineffective at corporate governance. It's better to simply subsidize and let the business owners make the important decisions.

It’s much more cleanly done with loans.

Yeah, I'm not going back either. Worked remotely for a few years. Got impacted by lay-offs and joined a hybrid company. Would still have been able to work 4 days from home, and 1 from the office. Went to the office 4 times, and spent 90% of my time either alone at my desk, or in an office room in a meeting that should have been an e-mail. Sure, in person collabs might (!) be easier for ideation and greenfield work, but in all honestly, don't get to do that all to often anymore.

Needless to say, I'm back at a fully remote place now. I'm fine if they offer hybrid, not everyone has the room/situation to work from home. I can imagine that for some, having a desk at an office is a net benefit, but don't make me come over and waste my time because you have control issues.
No, that’s not quite right. You’re taking two wavefunctions that have not collapsed yet.

It's not really, I just remembered wanting to try out this terminal emulator and being quite surprised that something actively advertised as cross-platform didn't support Windows.

I agree that the person posting the issue wasn't really doing it in a diplomatic way, but in the end, the result is the same. I think it's disingenuous to actively advertise something as cross-platform, without even specifying which platforms are actually supported (even if yes, technically it's cross-platform)
It’s much less of a problem for people born in Germany because the burden is spread out over many years of their lives.

If you immigrate to Germany then you need to instantiate yourself in the German bureaucracy everywhere at once, and that bureaucracy has a hostile indifference to the concept of immigrants.

> there is virtually no spontaneous social interaction ("watercooler conversations") in remote work

This part is wrong, or maybe it was more right in 2014, but it's definitely wrong now. Our fully remote team is on chat all day talking about all kinds of things, and we have regular video conferences.
What if you try to treat people the way they want to be treated instead of how you want to be treated?

I think the "golden rule" has been often misinterpreted as " treat people how you want to be treated" which leads to this misunderstanding that you called out. If we change it to being empathetic towards them and treating them how they want to be treated, the NPCs seem to become fully fledged characters.

If you use languages that compile to WASM (such as Gleam https://gleam.run), and can also run Postgres via WASM, then it opens very interesting offline scenarios with codebases which are similar on both the client and the server, for instance.
I won't say that it's impossible, but I will say that I'm skeptical.

Let's say I'm in the quiet zone and someone wants to have an online meeting with me. What do I do now? Run to the nearest pod? What if they are all taken, do I take the call in the hallway? Do I go to the not-quiet zone and have my meeting surrounded by people participating in other meetings, or even worse, participating in the same meeting introducing a sub-second delay? And how comfortable are these pods anyway, are they good enough for meeting back-to-back? Because if I'll stay in the pod all day I might as well stay home.

I believe you can have comfortable working places (essentially offices with doors that close) that will be expensive OR cheap shared desks that optimize space but accentuate distractions. I don't think you can have a cheap, distraction-free environment, but I'm open to be proven wrong.

What does it mean that Peano Arithmetic isn't categorical?
Wow what a lot of parentheses! To me the first example is perfectly clear because it follows the same precedence rules I learned for arithmetic at school, along with most programming languages. There's nothing special about Haskell here, in Python I would write:

>>> math.sqrt(2) + 1 * 3 + 3 * 2 + 1 / 7

The only difference I see is the parentheses used for function application in python.

I built OnlineOrNot's cron job monitoring service in a weekend (at least the initial version).

Since I already had a scheduler job running for regular uptime checks, I wrote an SQL query to find jobs that hadn't reported in the expected time.

On the other side, I built a quick endpoint for my public API for cron jobs to curl upon completion.

After that, I just needed to put up a UI, and it was complete (until I decided to productionize it by splitting it into its own, highly replicated service)

Feels like a self fulfilling prophecy. There’s no reason government can’t be effective at decision making if things are set up the right way (their involvement could be distant). There’s also no reason to assume a giant company (like, say, Intel) is going to be particularly fast at it.
Why?

I'm in the same boat as you, but taking it a step further, I'm completely blind to the first 1/3rd of google search results. The first 3 are already ads, and then there's the "quick info" card on most searches. I've subconsciously trained myself to just flat out skip over those results.

So in my case, I don't know that an ad blocker really even helps me on google, because I'm ignoring those first results anyway.
The people in government aren't incentivized to be effective largely because they have no personal financial reason to be. There's no stock options or things like that, no good bonus programs, etc.

About the remote work comms there is a widespread attitude that irks me: People texting "can we talk?" or simply "hello".

"can-we-talkers" I'm starting to let stew for a few minutes, because I suspect they do that on purpose to "skip my queue".
Two themes this body of work deals with: i) improving efficiency of self-attention when dealing with large weather data, and ii) dealing with error accumulation.

And three ideas for future progress: i) modelling correlated noise to deal with blurriness in forecasts, ii) dealing with error accumulation by doing one-shot prediction of the whole forecast (similar to OpenAI's sora), and iii) causal methods to make robust forecasts.

Dunno, it's just a bad idea. The pathogens can survive in the ground over several seasons, so I'm not surprised if they also survive in the compost. It's not only bacteria and viruses but also fungi. Best practice is to use pathogen free soil and compost, crop rotation. There is even a warning against composting rotten potatoes (related to tomatoes) for avoiding late blight.
