Agreed. But I don't even think the higherups really care, as we see them too jump from company to company every few years.
Yep. The magic of "you could turn on encryption" is that nearly all people using it won't.

"Ah, but if you need encryption then you'll..." - well, two things now. Suddenly you're the person who has encryption switched on. And also more likely, someone they talk to will forget to switch it on and just blab everything into cleartext anyway.

The entire importance of Signal's model is that it is always encrypted. It's why LetsEncrypt is also important: to have effective security you need to be able to hide in the crowd. If encryption usage is rare, then who's using it itself (or suddenly starts using it) becomes an extremely valuable datapoint.

(so I'd add: Telegram absolutely sell timeline details of which user accounts change their frequency of encrypted chat usage).

Earlier Yi paper indicates it's trained with less than 25% Chinese dataset, contrast to GPT-3 which was 93% English[1][2]. Is that a bug or could there be something inherent to current LLM architecture - like dataset must be 90%+ English to not fall apart?

I would say using this app to try and surprise/do nice things for your partner is, in fact, making an effort: going out of your way to think of nice things to do with them.

People are all different. The idea of getting flowers for your partner, or leave cheesy notes for them, might come natural to some and not to others. Another comment pointed out how having ADHD makes it hard to remember to do the sort of stuff this app might suggest, so it can be a great help.

Besides, is this different from scrolling through social media and seeing couples activities and deciding to try them? Is this different from seeing a florist ad while walking and deciding to buy flowers? If anything, going out of your way to install an app shows more care and effort than these "spontaneous" activities.

At any rate, spontaneity is overrated, especially in relationships (maybe because of Hollywood relationships?). Constance, effort, care, are more important... you still need to keep things fresh tho
fist of the north star, a classic imo.
I think the ad was uncharacteristically tasteless but I still don’t understand the leap from “well that isn’t convincing me to buy their product” to “I’m personally offended and my day is ruined. Someone must apologize to me.”

I wouldn't go that far to call it as a fraud, unless you call literally every phone-with-camera manufacturer these days a fraud. Then I agree as my trusty old nikon fullframe always catches only whats there, including noise and instability that modern phones handle easily.

People were commenting on that thread how apple phone ie mirrored only bunny within bigger picture of a bunny in the grass (thats rather hilarious 'bug'), and we all know how apple consistently removes all moles and wrinkles, changes completely skin tone and overall tonality like every single picture looks like its taken in the golden sunset hour. Ie that nasty samsung is much more truthful when it comes to this, including latest flagships.

That's outright lying too, IMHO much worse - moon is tidally locked so showing exactly same side with same features for millions of years, so they were adding details that are there, just impossible to see on non-stabilized tiny plastic lens&sensor combo in the night.

Making somebody 20 years younger, much prettier and changing their overall look on most important feature we humans have, doing it by default without any real option to turn it off, does a lot of long term body-perception damage in young folks.
Signal has reproducible builds for android now? Why not f-droid then, too?
> Some of us want a record of what was, not a hallucination of what might have or could have been

Yes, but that doesn’t imply “A camera is supposed to take pictures of what it sees”, only “cameras sometimes are supposed to take pictures of what they see”.

Some of us prefer a nice picture over a more exact record of what was; some of us will even argue that such manipulated pictures are better at capturing what was precisely because they sacrifice some of the physical reality for the non-physical essence of a moments one’s memory of such a moment.

That moon photo is a nice example. Smartphone cameras aren’t very good at capturing what the full moon looks like in our memory.

It's not just opt-in, it's a non-default option you have to actively seek out and enable with every new conversation you start. So yes, by default, without additional steps taken, telegram is not e2e encrypted.
Test code is code. It's as much of a burden as every other piece of code you are troubled with, so you must make it count. If you're finding it repetitive and formulaic, take that opportunity to identify the next refactoring.

The Unsafe Class: Unsafe at Any Speed (2020)
> EU exist exactly with the purpose of removing "fragmentation" and integration of Europe into a single giant marke

In many ways it seems the fragmented economy was more liquid than the EU area is now. Instead of having pockets of acceleration in small corners of the EU, we now have uniformly heavy friction throughout. That's why businesses can find more dynamic business partners in china or turkey than they can in EU. Eastern european countries are often doing a lot to remove friction, but even they are often punished or asked to change their ways in order to keep with the rest of the block.

A New Report Says Gen-Z's AI Work Chops Could Displace Millennials
I was really excited for this. But I am largely disappointed. The flaws with Loom being closed source is that it's free tier is so horrible. Cap's free tier is just as bad. There is no reason why I would pay cap and not loom. The open source aspect is nice, but I also don't care about loom not being open source because whatever I post on loom is public anyway.

It would be really nice if cap was client side and allowed you to save the video directly to your drive. That way you could remove the paid tier and make it free for everyone. Adding 1 or 2 more options for webcam shape etc could also be a good selling point.

Jack Dorsey's Tweet: https://twitter.com/jack/status/1787895769183268948
Signal's definition of "reproducible" meant for quite a while "download this binary docker image and build Signal inside of it". I don't know if that has changed since.

Signal rejects F-Droid for a different reason, though: They only want to distribute through channels where they get download statistics and control update rollouts.

> They can't work for more than 10 hours a day

What are those employees doing for upwards of 10 hours per day? I've never met anyone who could put in more than 8 hours of high quality, attentive knowledge work for more than a few days in a row and if we're being completely honest with ourselves, most of us are lucky if we can consistently put in 6h of that high-quality work.

You might have people occupying seats for 10 hours, but you're definitely burning them out, and they'll make more mistakes, and quality of their work will drop off overall. Don't mistake "butt in seat time" with "innovation pace"

As far as I'm concerned, encouraging employees to work long hours is a dead give-away for bad leaders who want to be perceived as good leaders with a team of people who "get shit done". That's exactly the type of abuse those laws are designed to prevent.

If anyone is really capable, and willing, of doing more work, they'll keep thinking about the problem on their personal time. That's probably where they'll get some of their best ideas anyway and no laws can stop that.
> the reason why people reacted so strongly to the ad is that it couldn’t have hit the mark more squarely.

I think this is right. The ad is about the flattening of the old analog world into the digital one and it evokes strong feelings because our nostalgia for that is not a little about a real and significant loss, which the Apple commercial grotesquely celebrates.
> How much are you offended by that?

Tremendously :P where I'm from "hollander" is a type of pipe fitting.
There seems to be a concerted effort to discredit Matthew's claims. Even here on HN. I find this suspicious. The Signal protocol has been heavily audited by many different people from many different countries. It's usually found to be sound. The telegram protocol has been found to have issues that are, if not malicious, amateur level mistakes.

Once again, this is not my opinion. This is the result of independent auditors who have no affiliation with either the USA or Russia.

There are positives to the UI of Telegram, there are negatives to the UI of Signal. None of these has much to do with the underlying protocol of either.

Personally I'd rather we all put our collective efforts into something like the protocol suggested by Matrix, but if only given the choice of Telegram or Signal, I'd avoid Telegram like the plague. They are either malicious or amateur. Either one isn't a good choice for security.

i bought an premium .app domain a few months ago. not published in websites yet. no history of previous owners. just a fact that it's listed as a premium domain on registrars.

first emails I received after the gmail welcome email were b2b sales from construction companies (i'm not in this field), shopify optimizations (i don't run one), agencies suggesting how i improve the ui/ux of my site (no website yet).

thankfully, they're all in the spam folder. i'm using google workspace.

i believe these spammers get their leads on newly-registered domains. so, how do we protect ourselves from that?
"including confidential messaging with their agents on the foreign territory"

Possible, as many ridiculous things happened around the whole war. (Recently german generals on a video chat were targeted by the russians, wasn't too hard, they did not use any encyption at all)

Sources would be nice though.

But it really would not be a reason for me to trust telegrams security.

Rather a confirmation again, that also secret services can show great incompetence.

This just seems like a knee-jerk reaction to Durov promoting his own platform as usual, what does Elon Musk have to do with this for example? Is there any evidence that the authorities have ever had access to private conversations? At the end of the day, the issue comes down to the fact that Telegram is such a superior messaging app compared to anything else.

I don't know about Telegram being nasty towards Signal but Signal brought this upon themselves.

Metadata are more important than the content of the messages and yet Signal has always been about knowing your phone number, with handwaving when the subject is mentioned.

Sessions, a Signal fork, had its tagline right: "Share encrypted messages, not metadata".

Signal is a metadata exchanging app and it's about collecting your phone number and everybody else' phone number.

Now I don't think Telegram needs to "attack" Telegram: Telegram is immensely more successful and has reached take-off velocity.

To me Telegram is going after WhatsApp, not Signal.
I really wish writers of and commenters on these articles (especially those less impressed) would clarify the version they have used and whether they have experimented significantly with state of the art.

Overwhelmingly in my experience of reading these back-and-forths, they are referring to 3.5 at best (as in this article).

Yes, of course I accept there are users of the paid version (4+) and class competitors like Opus that don't find they help their productivity but unfortunately any comments referring to significantly less capable engines than those - without at least clarifying that - risk just adding noise to the conversation.

The case for forever high interest rates
I've started putting personal items into my calendar, and find it does help, but my philosophy isn't really one of time management. Rather, it's one of giving my personal life the same level of importance my work life gets.

Work puts lots of items on my calendar -- recurring weekly meetings, kick off meetings, daily syncs, etc. And there's things I want to do, eg go to the gym, practice guitar, etc. I resisted putting the latter sort of thing on, because honestly I'm not a huge calendar person by default. Or todo person. I find it stressful and overwhelming. But I shifted my thinking to seeing the calendar not as a todo list, but as a visualization of things I believe are important. In that view, then giving my gym time a regular slot and putting it on the calendar gives it equal billing with all those work entries.

I've found this helpful and it has made me feel better about my calendar in general. It's not time management, or even commitments, but visible prioritization, with myself included as someone I prioritize.
