Because it was a dead man walking by the time PE bought it. The underlying assets were worth more than the sale price so it was never going to make sense to do anything other than what happened.

Ask HN: Social media with a high barrier to entry?
For starters, this will sound elitist so bear with me.

Is there any “social” media site that has an incredibly high barrier of entry?

Like to join you have to pass some incredibly hard IQ test (not that I believe in those), or programming challenge, or logic challenge - and to keep your membership you must constantly prove yourself.

For context I have no online presence, besides HackerNews. I only just joined HackerNews.

I just want a “social” site where I can look at articles and subscribe to my hobbies (kind of like
Reddit) but without the masses.

And talk and comment with “smart”-er people. I think hackernews is probably the best site for that, but even here some of the people’s comments make me scratch my head.

I want to be fully away from politics, gamification etc.

I even thought of building my own social media based on shared bookmarks that would connect you with peers who share similar bookmarks to you. Is that a thing?

I got my current job from “who’s hiring” and it changed my life.

Excellent question.

I guess the answer is simply mutatis mutandis: they appreciate that they don't have, but do need our trust and that uttering said refrain might achieve installing it :-)

- Be very mindful of the "level of recursion" you are trying to express - i.e. how many trees to include when it should be a forest.

- Look into the C4 model - that is great for expressing architecture.

- Have a Miro board with multiple versions and working charts.

- Make at least one that reflects the full process, and one chart that reflects the relationships between components.

- Keep it simple, and avoid creating DoD style monstrosities. if you find yourself in that situation it means either you are mixing up recursion levels, or are not very clear on the purpose of the chart and the audience.

- Boxes and arrows are enough

- I personally have benefited from UML style charts, others hate them.

- Domain Driven Design and Event Storming style maps are also very clear way to express things.

- Most importantly - remember that an architecture is not a static thing, but a living, changing and ever-evolving thing. Like a garden.
I love Dropbox but stuff like this is a good reminder to re-evaluate using any service that store large amount of personal data without e2ee. I understand that partly because of block-level diffing and syncing, it's hard to provide true e2ee for Dropbox, but it's still a big reason why I'm having most of my stuff in iCloud Drive (with Advanced Data Protection), despite liking Dropbox much more.

Hope they'll come around and add it at some point, and not just for businesses as hinted at when they acquired boxcryptor.

I'm not really interested in any job offers now, but I think one thing needs clarification. Does GMT-8 to GMT+1 mean that you are okay with active hours being pretty much standard of these timezones, or that you literally require that applicants' place of residence would be considered in one of these timezones? This can make a huge difference for people who prefer at least slightly unusual circadian rhythms (night owls and similar ; I definitely have history of such preference). And I'm mostly thinking about borderline cases like people in GMT+2 to GMT+4.

FWIW however, coincidentally I'm in GMT+1 right now.

His premise is not true.

Common Lisp has reader macros. You can change the syntax to anything you like. There is even Fortran compiler written using reader macros to lead Fortran syntax.

Common lisp has

1. reader macros for read time,

2. macros

3. compiler macros for compile time

Macro language for all these is Common Lisp.

Metaprogramming has little to do with macros or syntax. Term refers to ability to manipulate semantics and meaning of of types, interfaces, classes, methods, etc. CLOS (Common Lisp Metaobject Protocol) for that if CL itself is not strong enough.

OK, I can see how your definitions of those two things are tautologically identical. But this still goes with my point that both terms have many different definitions, so you can end up with situations like yours where the terms are equivalent.

Personally, I've never heard that definition of free will, to know that you are choosing; and for occasions where I don't even realise I'm making a choice (e.g. when failing to notice I've been given a false dichotomy, or which fork of a road I take on long walks), I still have what I would call a conscious experience of them… but then, for me, "consciousness" is usually "qualia" (but if the sentence is more complex then it may also be for example one of "not asleep/comatose" or "not subconscious/pre-conscious").

Likewise, my default (in the absence of further context, e.g. being on this website) assumption when I hear "free will" is that the person using those words means something like a supernatural soul, but the underlying physical phenomena which is actually backing this is some combination of hidden information and being too complex to predict, which is why we also witness animism in various forms

Show HN: Tess – The first AI image generator to pay artists
Hi HN,

I wanted to share a side project that we've been working on for a few weeks. It's called Tess and it's a new kind of AI image generator that pays artists when generations are made in their style. Artists can use Tess to create their own model, and choose to use it privately, or publish it publicly to earn revenue when it's used. The plan is to split generation revenue with artists 50/50.

We thought something like this would be inevitable in order to have artists be able to participate in conversation around AI art. We've paid out over $15k to real artists on the platform already, and we hope to grow these partnerships over time. Obviously not every artist is excited about AI, but we feel like this is a small step towards putting control back in the hands of artists.

Here's our launch post - would love to hear your feedback! https://www.tess.design/blog/the-first-image-generator-to-pa...

That's a bit out of date. The Model 3 LR will do 300 miles in the real world, and it's not the longest range out there.
> Based on our investigation, a third party gained access to a Dropbox Sign automated system configuration tool. The actor compromised a service account that was part of Sign’s back-end, which is a type of non-human account used to execute applications and run automated services. As such, this account had privileges to take a variety of actions within Sign’s production environment. The threat actor then used this access to the production environment to access our customer database.

Not familiar with this area, how usually does it happen? Social engineering or some more "technical" ways?

Also, under normal (not hacked) circumstance, who usually would have access to these service accounts?
Yeah I misread the graph - I've corrected the post, although the errors sort of cancelled towards the overall result anyway. With a CDC reported rate of ~0.8-1% per year, then in a group of 10 you'd expect 0.1 deaths if they were suitably random. In a group of 100 you'd expect at least 1.

They're not random, but it's also a group with one-way membership. John Barnett was a whistleblower from 2017 till his death in 2024. So for 7 years he was a Boeing whistleblower, but every year he is he's still in that 0.8-1% chance of all-cause mortality across the general population (likely more given specific non-murder related risk factors).

EDIT: I guess the reason I'm posting up a storm on this is not to defend Boeing, but that there's an actual, identifiable harm to the conspiracy theory narrative which is that it's all fun and games unless you work at Boeing and see evidence of wrongdoing. We the public want and need you to come forward, and a storm of commentary which says "lol Boeing just straight kills people" is all good hot-take fun till you're in an actual position where it might feel quite real. Even if the odds were much worse, going on the internet and saying "this was definitely murder to create a chilling effect* is helping create a chilling effect.

Sure there is. You can use JavaFX from any language that runs on the JVM (so that includes Python) and it's been steadily matured over more than a decade. It's maintained by a mix of corporate and community developers, and you can buy support from multiple vendors.

It doesn't get much love on HN but it's there, it works, I've used it to ship real apps.
Now I wonder if asking about the tool is a red herring to make us watch the video...
It's because you're ascribing the appearance of some relevant news to "desperate hate", when it doesn't seem to be hate-related.

So if this isn't based in strong emotion, your opinion on it probably is.
"Upon further investigation, we discovered that a threat actor had accessed data including Dropbox Sign customer information such as emails, usernames, phone numbers and hashed passwords, in addition to general account settings and certain authentication information such as API keys, OAuth tokens, and multi-factor authentication."

hashed passwords, API keys, OAuth tokens, MFA...

Oh no.
Didn't you just do that? ;)

That's just not true. At least not more or less than when performing the same experiment on humans.
1. 10-15 dollars a month is not exorbitant and quite worth it with a media server.

2. sabnzbbd or nzgget are hardly poorly documented or undiscoverable.

3. you need to get an indexer which handles all those files over 2 million posts. the software in 2 will put them together for you with minimal effort.

i would recommend a premium indexer as they are quite cheap but there are free available.

i would also like to note that since you're not using a torrent you can't be done for distribution of copywritten material to the same scale as you can for a torrent.
Um, no. Did a test and the results are neither scary nor wowing me now:

1) Easy mode: Cityscape of Naples, Italy; Bot 100% match, nice, I guess.

2) Mid-mode: A road in Glenoak Hills, CA; Bot says Malibu, CA... Never been there.

3) Hard-mode: Main lake in Ostróda, Poland; Bot says it's in Manhattan and that the vegetation matches Northern American :-D Ahahaha, didn't even get the continent right so...

Note: Tested on personal photos, with EXIF stripped, not widely/at all uploaded to the nets.

So... perhaps works great if you feed it back stock photos you've grabbed from the first result of a google search? Because my mileage is barely an inch.

Happy for the Svelte team.

I picked up Svelte 3, and 4 last year and used it to build many browser extension UIs.

I really enjoyed my time with Svelte but I found it did not scale well. Maybe that’s a me problem though.

I’ve since switched over to using React, and I’m really enjoying writing React. NOT working with others React code though, that still sucks.

But I’ve actually switched to using React for my browser extension UIs. Prefer it
OK, so there is no fundamental obstacle for providing true e2ee.
At least it's a hack this time, it's not like when they forgot to enable authentication and you could sign-in to any Dropbox just by entering the e-mail.

From one archivist to another, I hope you are successful in preserving them for generations to come.
> Though I would note a better way to see if they were doing it would be to look at the death rate of current Boeing employees, since if you were killing whistleblowers that's what it would presumably look like - people presently employed by Boeing dying under explainable circumstances without ever taking any action.

Well, that wouldn't have much deterrent effect. I don't think it's likely that Boeing is knocking off whistleblowers, but if they were, it would be more effective as a deterrent for them to do it once the person became well-known.
Maybe you should read about that again, because you obviously don't know what you're talking about ;-)

The A-12/SR-71 was leaking fuel while it was sitting on the apron/ramp, because due to the insane heating that occurs at Mach 3 you have to compensate the heat contraction of your tanks and everything else. So while they do leak on the ground, as soon as they start getting anywhere close to operating speed and the structure thus heats up, everything seals shut. No leaking midflight. The Skunk Works director Ben Rich (who took over after the original director Kelly Johnson stepped down) wrote a book called "Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed", it's a good read.
I was asking myself the same thing while watching the live stream where they somehat explained how it works.

It's still not clear to me if they are compliant.

To make it work like in the browser it would require some sort of SSH multiplexing where your client is connected to both the shop and Stripe's SSH server and you enter your card data into a terminal region that is being rendered by stripe's ssh server. And then the triangle is completed by Stripe notifying the shop that the payment is ok.
