Sadly that's not always an option, thanks to tools like Ajit Pai and telecomms owning the FCC normally through lobbyists. Centurylink might be all you have as an option in places, or some other worse incumbent ISP.

Lately we've gotten gains with fighting back to overturn municipal isp limitations all the telco's lobby against to protect their monopolies/duopolies, and private companies attempting to compete with the incumbents in each market for some actual choice. Problem is small isp's that get too big in a telco territory are usually just acquired so as not to give the public any option, lest they get used to such freedoms.

In my area, my options are Centurylink DSL or Cox Communications. I used Cox and never would have dreamed about moving to DSL, then they (finally) implemented bandwidth caps, and within a month began getting overage charges. Centurylink has no bandwidth caps, and at the time was almost as fast as cable, for almost half the price, so why not. Cox also has a nasty habit of outright acquiring any competitive ISP's around or inside their local markets, taking away that choice consumers might have enjoyed.

I really haven't looked back either, though now with them offering 1-2gbps services on cable and stuck perpetually at 140mbps on DSL, I would consider going back to Cox, but not with their bandwidth caps. I'll deal with Centurylink with no caps and slower service, as even moving to gigabit services with Cox, I'd just hit my caps and have more overage charges even faster.

Organizations have been doing 2FA for VPN connections for over a decade. The janky way to do it way back in the day (when people still had RSA token keychains) was to use an authentication server plugin that would require the user to enter their password followed by the token to authenticate at the password prompt. These types of systems are relatively easy to retrofit. I was using a Yubikey with as a second factor on systems that didn't natively support 2FA in a similar manner since the original Yubikey was released.

For RDP it's even easier, RDP is easily configured so that logging in and connecting are two different distinct actions, after connecting you are presented with a login page. If that system is tied to a Windows AD domain, you can enforce MFA via numerous different methods, although unfortunately it's not possible to use Windows Hello over RDP currently (meaning no support for passkeys or biometrics as a second factor). I've used systems in the recent past that enforced smartcard control for RDP access.

The fact that most organizations /don't/ do this isn't due to any technical limitations, it's mostly due to not prioritizing information security at leadership levels combined with an InfoSec industry culture that centers more around box-checking by midwits who have certifications than designing secure systems from first principles within your technical constraints by actual experts.

Is there an issue with the title? I don't see what Claude has to do with this article...
Disappointed to see the end of the era where I could reliably rent an EV from Hertz at nearly half the cost of a gas car. Personally I was more than happy to deal with the inconvenience of charging for that level of discount, but it was clearly not sticking around long term.

It was good advertising for EV brands though. I’d never heard of “Polestar” before I was offered a discount rental, walked away very impressed with it.
Why is the title "Claude Team plan and iOS app"? Did this submission get renamed incorrectly?
That's because you mistakenly think you're not part of the labor class.

Graphistry / Louie.AI | MULTIPLE: Principal Security Researcher / Senior Security Sales Engineer | US+REMOTE | FULL-TIME + CONTRACT | https://www.graphistry.com/careers

Graphistry is a Gartner-awarded visual graph AI startup used by enterprise, tech, & government teams around the world for data-intensive investigations into digital attacks, fraud, supply chains, misinformation, and more. Originally spinning out of UC Berkeley, we are known for large-scale visualizations that connect GPUs in the cloud to GPUs in the browsers, and helped start the popular data science technologies of what is now Apache Arrow and Nvidia RAPIDS. The last few years have marked year-over-year revenue multiples & team growth entirely on customer revenue growth, no VC needed. We're still small and launching Louie.AI, so it's an exciting & impactful time!

We recently launched our genAI-first rethinking of the data-intensive investigation experience. Our analytics environment spans genAI notebooks, AI dashboarding, automation, & APIs, and help analysts work individually and in teams in a highly interactive, collaborative, and continuously improving system of intelligence. Louie helps teams generate and manage queries, GPU visual analytics, cases, knowledge, & data science flows. As Louie learns from the interactions, Louie grows from being the helpful copilot for investigations to being the intelligent pipelines powering their automations.

OPPORTUNITY: Cybersecurity (US, Full-time): Principal researcher / architect / senior SE to work with our community and top customers like top gov agencies, banks, etc in bringing generative AI to their investigation practices. You'll partner directly with our CEO, head of AI, head of technical sales, partners like Nvidia & Amazon, and our community to make this happen. Hands-on field-facing, doing special projects and supporting pre/post sales. This role can go in multiple directions, such as starting & leading multimillion dollar security AI projects, going deeper into broader intelligence & crime areas, focusing on areas like Splunk integrations, and devrel/community. Due to government interest, S/TS clearance is helpful, as is experience in FYES, and DC-based or able to travel -- we can assist here. We welcome alternative backgrounds, such as coming out of a SOC at Tier 2 / 3 levels, and being engaged in blue team community & OSS. You should be excited by ideas like genAI, graphs, GPUs, and understand needs around areas like security data lakes, EDR, SOAR, and case management.

Sounds about right. A barracks mate ended his life and they did their best to cover it up and pretend it didn't happen.
Apparently, yes.

But they don't have nearly as many opportunities to react as in a hot planet with an atmosphere. So pushing that life started there instead of only recognizing it's a very unlikely (but still possible) possibility isn't sustained by evidence.

Fun question! I think the following would be a viable strategy without communication:

Think of an observable criterion that matches the target distribution. For example, for 80-20:

- "Is the minute count higher than 12?" (This is the case in 80% of cases)

- "Do I have black hair?" (This is apparently also the case in 80% of cases)

Then, answer according to this criterion.

If everyone follows the same strategy, even if the criteria selected differs between each individual, the votes should match the target probability. Unless I am making a logical mistake :)

A human would have likely driven unsafely too, but human behaviors don't scale as predictably, so I think it's appropriate to hold them to a lower bar.

If a self driving car (or driving aid at least) behaves unsafely in some consistent way, that could cause far more accidents than the "typical human driver" typically behaving in that unsafe way. It's frankly outrageous to me that it's literally possible for automated or assisted driving to fail such a common-sense, basic rule of road safety as following distance.

And that's my real concern with self-driving cars (apart from considering them a competitor to the public transit I'd rather see), that it doesn't feel like there's a sufficient baseline level of caution for their bread-and-butter behaviors.
My family had a laser disk... while we had some of the standards (Star Wars) there was one that we had that took the media to an interesting place. I want to say it was "Kids Disk" but I could be wrong.

It had many chapters that you could jump to with different things. Some of them were things like "learn to dance the Irish Jig". That chapter had music in one channel and instructions in another - so you could turn one of them off and get just the music, or music and instructions, or just instructions.

Another chapter was jokes (and another was puzzles) where you could step frame by frame (it used constant angular tracking if I recall right) and fit dozens of them in a few seconds of time.

It was one of the "I wish they did more with that format."

The Star Wars one I later used in a computer graphics project in college with another guy in the lab. We were able to get the frame by frame video capture of the Death Star blowing up and then use that to map to a user controlled rotating cube. The key thing was getting a frame by frame image capture since we didn't have the compute to be able to capture a live stream and capture off of VHS would have resulted in inconsistent durations for each frame.

Anyways... some memories of laser disks.

Look up ALH-84001. The debate about whether the structures inside this Martian meteorite are fossils is too long for a HN post. But in analyzing the rock it was shown that the during the entire trip from when it was blasted out of Mars to when it fell in Antarctica would have been survivable for rock boring microbes. Not just theoretically, but hard evidence. There are structures that would have been destroyed if the rock was heated enough to sterilize, but they survived the trip. Hundreds of tons of rock like this from Mars land every year.

I'm not buying this. Literacy is declining in the US - and it's not like the older people have forgotten how to read, so we can safely conclude that fewer and fewer of the younger people can read and you think somehow these illiterate people are learning to code?

One could argue, and many have, that a bachelor's degree in computer science doesn't prepare one for being a professional developer. A secondary education level developer? On average (discarding the very few exceptional students)? Nope. They're not in your competition pool.
SEEKING WORK

> As a rushed/unfinished product

What led you to believe it was rushed and/or unfinished?

I agree with the sentiment that it's a _bad_ product with _bad_ choices and _bad_ strategy. It was likely caused by shitty ZIRP-era "MVP product without the 'viable'" mentality, rather than caused by rushing an unfinished product.
I wonder if the 411 and 911 calls were due to pulse dialing triggering on an intermittent connection. There are probably a few other folks of my age who remember discovering that you could dial a phone by tapping the hook at the right speed - after all, all that a rotary phone dial does is disconnect and reconnect the line at about 10Hz. If a wire was just loose enough that it was disconnecting intermittently, I would expect the pulse detector on the other end to detect a lot of 1s, a much smaller number of 4s, and very few 9s.
It's saved while it's in the reflog, and then saved until gc. How long things stay in the reflog is configurable.

I remember seeing somewhere a graph where someone plotted the "complexity" of life vs. time, I think on a log plot, and found a straight line. The line goes to (log) 0 around 5 billion years before the formation of the solar system. The inference from this admittedly dubious exercise was that life originated somewhere before our Solar system, spread here, and continued to evolve here.

>you actually need to know all those playbooks, and standards, and regulations, and best practices, and war stories.

The way I see it is these companies need it, but it is impossible to satiate that need, so they must find the next best thing.

If you have a project with 500 individual contributors or even just 50, it is impossible for one person, even geniuses, to understand and comprehend the whole. It is also impossible to staff all those positions with top talent at scale.

Raw talent and engineering is replaced with heuristics and policies and red tape.
