You should set it to the most common bssid of your preferred anonymity set. You can look up tables of most common MAC addresses and SSIDs and pick from there.

Still, the distribution of these identifiers will vary by region, manufacturer and other factors. The best way to stay anonymous is to avoid using the wireless spectrum. You’ll never be in full control of your anonymity as long as anyone around you is broadcasting a unique identifier and your device is logging its observations of these identifiers, correlating them with GPS, and sending them to the cloud…
It can't get that book authentically aged, printed with non-PoD methods, and in to libraries and publishers' websites, with contemporary reviews and advertisements, etc. AdVon was having overseas workers and LLMs write online product reviews for the publisher's website not getting books into libraries, revue venues, etc. https://futurism.com/advon-ai-content

I think you miss the setup. The keyboard is for being on the go. If I'm at a desk, I'm using my mechanical keyboard, not my shitty laptop one. Yeah, macs are better than most, but a laptop keyboard is still a laptop keyboard.

This is no different than corruption .. caused by terrible design from the likes of shitter etc.. I'm sure it will be popular.

I fucking hate shitter for locking me out of my account but I refuse to pay ransom to get it back.

I instead stopped using social media besides anonymous social media and my mental health improved immensely.
Your comment kinda reminds me of a Stargate SG1 episode, in which some brave soldiers come to earth to seek out help against the evil invaders.

Later on it gets revealed that the brave soldiers are currently doing an ethnic cleansing / mass murder.

Not everyone should be protected, and some actions are evil, even if they're done by journalists. Doing a live report to spread the message of mass murderers is one example of such behaviour.
That's not really the case. The new law came about because Matt Briggs wife was killed by a reckless cyclist who got 18 months because it was a bicycle but would have faced life if driving a car.

The new law evens things up. Clearer article in the Telegraph https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/19/justice-dangerou...

Not trying to argue, but few people that negotiate are doing it based on any true market value. If you see a BMW X5 for $50k on a dealer site, and an Audi Q7 for $50k, you can buy whichever one you want for $50k. I sold Audis when the Q5 first came out, and we simply wouldn't discount them. Tons of people would mention they could get $4k off at BMW, so why wouldn't we do similar. There simply wasn't a reason to. We would sell all of ours at MSRP. I suppose what you're saying is that you wish BMW just listed a lower price on their SUV that year so that everyone could compare easily? But if we go to the manufacturer model, it'll either still be static yearly pricing like MSRP is today.. or they'll do dynamic pricing like Tesla where people that bought the month prior sometimes pay a few thousand more than people that bought today.

Most customers come and try to negotiate down randomly. For a while the sites showing average price paid were interesting, and as a consumer I totally get it. But you can also get a feel for what deals a dealership is offering by just browsing their special page usually. And then buying like you would from the manufacturer.

Dealerships still play games partially because of the manufacturers sending limited numbers of certain cars and more of others. Currently Tesla is sitting on a large backlog of cars in storage. For other brands, dealers take up this slack. Dodge currently has a 2 YEAR supply of one of their crossovers sitting on dealership lots. It's going to be a huge problem for dealers.
There is a big difference between helping a friend or acquaintance just being nice to doing something for money.

Once you add money into something, there is a whole level of scrutiny and legal and ethical implications.

Like others have been saying, this is the type of thing that will get you fired immediately. You are not allowed to take your internal access and go into business for yourself selling it.

I use little snitch to get this system-wide feature and imho it’s absolutely worth the money for insight on how your apps communicate
If you're experienced with how to use an LLM they can be very good at helping with novel problems and much more than boilerplate.

I've been able to tackle problems that would have otherwise taken up too much time and effort between my jobs as both expert witness for software related Federal lawsuits and as a father of two young children.

Here's just a sampling of what I've accomplished since I started using these tools:

A convolutional neural network trained using PyTorch to predict the next chord (as tablature) on a guitar based on image data. Includes labeling software for the image data as well as an iOS app for hosting and running the model.

A web framework written in C using clang blocks for the DSL, per request memory arena, and complete JSON-API compatible ORM, JWT auth, and enough sanitizers and leak detect to make your head spin.

A custom CLI DSL modeled somewhat on AWK syntax written with Python Lex Yacc for turning CSV data into matplotlib graphics.

A custom web framework written in F# that compiles to JS with Fable.

LLMs helped with looking up documentation, higher level architecture, fixing errors, and yes, plenty of boilerplate!

All of this being said, I brought with me almost 30 years of experience writing software and a pretty good idea high level of how to go about building these things. The devil is in the details and that's where the LLM was most useful.
Perhaps a better formulation would be: "Making games is hard. Marketing games is even harder."
If I'm looking for more reading I'll sometimes go back a random number of years to find something from the front page of that day. It struck me a while back that around 8-10 years ago HN comments were way more snippy, pointed, almost needlessly argumentative than today. Not bringing that up to say it was better or worse, but that when people complain about comment quality they are probably different than our collective memory serves.

People also recognized each other far more often, sometimes on a first name basis, which is maybe just a function of growth. It may also behoove someone to pick their words more carefully if someone recognized anothers work 2-3 years after they were nasty to them. Or possibly growing acceptance of throwaways, multiple accounts.

It was pointed out in a comment I really liked a while back that HN demonstrates that one can be critical without being mean. But it also takes effort of the person receiving feedback to understand the one giving is, usually, doing so to help, not tear them down. Which is almost always not the case on Twitter, Instagram, FB, et al. And I've seen very thoughtful, intelligent people say they just don't read comments at all on things they worked on.

Yep, I didn't add enough newlines. Fixed
Probably soft deleted or with TTL + archiving. Hard delete is very technically challenging at that scale.
My best guess is that they were on another device and they are syncing via iCloud and somehow the new iOS fixed a bug that was previously failing to resync photos that were only deleted locally.
Ah to have been born in the Era of Good Feeling
lmao is this a joke? This contradicts what you said.

There's "secret evidence" but Blinken denied seeing it.

The evidence is a secret, and even the people who have seen it are a secret! But we should totally just take Israels word for it, everyone except them will lie pathologically.
I have had instances where previously "archived" photos reappeared among my regular photos on Android devices. It's a faith-shattering moment. Let's face it, most of us have some amount of photos or screenshots we don't want unexpectedly popping up when other people may be able to see them. In my case, it may have been user error resulting from the confusing interplay between my camera app, the default Samsung photo album, and Google Photos. I guess. Ultimately, I removed permissions for accessing photos from every app except for Google Photos to reduce the chance for confusion.

Does anyone have a simple, cross-platform solution for storing (yet easily accessing) private photos and videos? Or do most people just resort to living dangerously?

I have sgpt installed and configured and use it practically every day. Great tool, almost magic when it works right (four out of five, maybe?). Less time reading tldr, man pages, browsing for random breadcrumbs, more time doing things. I recommend it.

I also switched to WezTerm from iTerm awhile ago, largely because iTerm does so much stuff which isn't a emulating a terminal. I have a tool for querying OpenAI from the command line, I don't need or want it built into my terminal emulator, just doesn't jibe with my philosophy. I keep iTerm around for the "Quake terminal" feature, though. That remains pretty slick.

The outrage and self-entitlement is absurd imho. Making it disabled-by-default rather than merely not configured seems like a reasonable accommodation, and is the likely outcome of all this hoopla. People who are complaining that their security policy won't allow it are either confused or dishonest: it makes a network call if you ask it to, the endpoint is either blocked by your policy or it isn't, this adds no new capabilities from a security standpoint.

Probably politically wise to emphasize that it works with any OpenAI compatible endpoint, including a local one. The program is not in fact tied to OpenAI in any way and it might unruffle some featheres.

It's reasonable to want your terminal to just be a terminal, and not feature badges, alerts, log search, its own autocomplete, triggers, annotations, a password manager, and now AI integration. If that's what you want, iTerm hasn't been the emulator for you for a long time. That's fine, there are options.
Many of the same objections apply. What is google going to do with a point in time snapshot of "bSSIDs and MAC addresses"? The SSIDs don't tell them anything aside from "there's a wifi router at this vague location". MAC addresses are slightly more interesting, but there's nothing you can do with a point in time capture with them. Even if you want to do evil things like stalking people, you'd need to do regular scans, not the once-a-few-years drive-by they do with the streetview cars.

Also to be clear I'm not claiming that it's fine for them to do it, or that they should continue doing it, only that the scare quotes around "accidentally" was unwarranted given the lack of evidence towards malice and lack of motive. To make an analogy, accidentally-exposed-to-the-public breaches happen all the time. You can complain about how there were lack of controls/security, but people don't typically don't use scare quotes to imply the breaches were somehow intentional.
Perhaps the most important piece of this:

flutter or react native are probably the best options

Agreed. It's based on accepting personal payment to spend company time and resources doing something other than what the employer wants. Sounds like low-key bribery to me.

I imagine they're aware of this. The FAQ section states that employees are kept anonymous, but also says they verify if it's really a Google employee by sending an email to their google.com email address, which Google can of course see.
This is the darkest timeline.

in the screenshot you shared in the twitter link [2], the model appears to do everything correctly - it terminated its message with

Solving those problems would be a dream. Although the interface to initiating a CI/CD run can be solved without solving those other parts. Allowing the run definitions to be passed in, and ensuring any data based on the version control event is parameterized, is an effective solution to the push-to-run problem.
I kind of wish the scale would go out further into history; I'm not sure if something like that exists (maybe for someplace like England or China?). I also would like to see it replicated for different areas of the world, as well as how the trends correlate with one another over time.

The period since the industrial revolution has been anomalous in many respects in terms of population dynamics and public health, and I imagine it would show up somehow in economic trends? On the other hand going back further in time I assume it becomes increasingly difficult to scale things on some common metric.

AI can create bugs, sure, as well as humans do. With time, I am more inclined to think it will be easier to ask an AI to fix them for us rather than the other way around.

There is a non-intuitive feature of current LLMs, and that is, they are capable of refining over and over their own previous outcome. You can ask to revisit it, to improve it, check it, etc etc. use this to fix its own bugs.
That's total server use, not just AI.

And the forecast is from the IEA, an institution from which another forecast has been badly wrong 14 years in a row and without a change of methodology. I hope that's a record.

Ask HN: How do you go about finding friends and enemies?
I have had enough of this modern world where there are no strong feelings between men and women and most importantly among men.

Everybody seems to just be doing their job which is essentially being a infinitly small cogwheel in an immense and intricated system.

I miss the strong sentiment that I had towards people when I was a younger, both the friends from high school but also the enemies from high school, those who want to steal your girl, those who always try to bully you and you have to rebut both methaphorically and physically.

It seemed like the only thing that mattered were the friendships and the rivalries within the school. No worries about the economy or jobs or cash runaway, mostly no worries about the external world.

All the informations that we are constantly bombarded by have propelled lots of economic growth, but also they water down every emotion and sentiment because there is always another place to go or another option to explore as far as romantic partners, friends and ever rivalries are watered down because of the abundance of informations and options makes it so that nobody has to stand their ground anymore for anything because there is always the option to find it elsewhere through a path of less resistance.

I think the way we talk towards the 3rd world and uncontacted tribes with this sense of superiority is unwarrwanted, because sure they might have little to no stuff, but for sure they have strong sentiments toward one another, because of the aforementioned lack of stuff, and also much lower life expectancy, they have to make things happen in a very short time and in conditions of extreme scarcity, hence bonds and alliances are formed and dissolved on a daily basis. Friends become enemies, and viceversa in a constant waltzer of strong emotions.

Us on the other hand we experience next to nothing emotionally because of the aforementioned watering down

So the question after the rant:

How would you guys solve the problem of lack of strong emotions towards other people which spirals down into lack of strong friendships, lack of strong rivalries, lack of romantic partners that you really care about ( not just a girl that you pick because you don’t want to be alone) ?
The article glibly glosses over the requirement for line of sight (or at least low attenuation) to satellites, but a great deal of emergencies happen in places where you will not be able to connect to a satellite emergency system. Frankly a 100% satellite based system is a complete non-starter.

Yeah, sorry for the inconsistency there. I didn't consider that personal anecdotes and hearsay are technically evidence as evidence is literally anything that supports a conclusion.

It is however, a good indicator for how little I value those two forms of evidence however.

My point with "today's age of misinformation" is not really that there is more misinformation these days. That may be true, but it could also just be that we have access to a higher volume of information. It's more that we are more aware of misinformation, and can develop habits + tools to deal with misinformation.

I am actually currently working on a CPU that has an auxiliary unit with a 521-bit integer type (although many instructions are 512-bit). These have some interesting effects, but I can't say they are tremendously useful for bit hacks, at least not at the cost of the hardware to support them. Multiplications of this size are a very costly operation, for example. Even an addition or a leading zero count is a significant area. Vector units are about as good as you will get for most of this stuff.

This unit, by the way, is intended primarily for cryptography (521 is the length of a large mersenne prime). Cryptography operations are the only times I have ever seen an integer wider than 64 bits in the wild, and most people use bignum libraries.

The same pressures apply to 128-bit cores. It will make a lot of hardware a lot bigger and more complicated.
