That's because there is zero accountability for these breaches and even with a civil case you're looking at pennies per user as compensation.

Better to do that than invest the 10s of millions required to correctly invest in good security practice and hygiene.

This is the classic fight club scenario:

"Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."
I “de-reddited” with HN.
I'm impressed by your efforts to communicate something that is this basic, and yet depressed by how difficult it is!

Normalizing this "current" republican position of literally not having policies deserves to be called out.
I don't think there is much vision or editorial control. Anyone with an idea can seemingly produce content for these platforms and it almost always falls short.

How do you position this video content versus documentation? Anecdotally, younger audiences may have a preference at times, but I think it's more about the use case and preparation. I've seen really good video content and bad. Same applies to docs, or any content.
CP/M was an OS for the 8080/Z80, which was limited to 64k of RAM.

None of the tools that you know today would work in something that small.

There was a C compiler for a dialect of C that met these constraints; I didn't have it, and I didn't know C at the time.
The good news is that none of the content you care about is Google's. As soon as someone else provides a space for content creators to move to you can get rid of Youtube and never miss a single thing about it. Google has successfully pissed off enough youtubers that they're just waiting for the first chance to jump ship, just like we are as watchers.

In the meantime, try to give as little as you can to Google. Use Newpipe and youtube-dl so you never see an ad.
The pilot didn't support that, but there isn't any detailed information about what the expanded version will support yet. I would guess K-1 will not be supported for a while, here's what the announcement says:

> The IRS is also exploring ways to gradually expand the scope of tax situations supported by Direct File. Over the coming years, the agency’s goal is to expand Direct File to support most common tax situations, with a particular focus on those situations that impact working families. Announcements about new state partners and expanded eligibility are expected in the coming months.
Last time it was a major problem, AMD had a program to send you a low end old generation processor and you'd send it back when you were done. CPUless flashing is pretty common now though, and inventory is low, so there's less stale bios motherboards out there.
Also, realistically, I don't imagine the phone number literally just telling you that the service wasn't available and hanging up. I imagine it would offer you options to get various pieces of information (the URL of the website, the legal address of Meta, how to navigate to the support knowledge base on the website, ...) and let you draw your own conclusion about how useful it was. Maybe it's occasionally handy to someone. At worst it's harmless.

I think in an ideal world, you could use speech recognition to let people leave a message, and open a ticket, as if they had emailed support@. When someone responds, the system gives them a call them back and delivers it using text to speech.
It seems like those breaches all revolve around misconfiguration.

Aren’t all clouds vulnerable to issues like this?
Denoising algorithms are always lossy. An LLM (or, y'know, Markov chain) could do this job by exploiting statistical regularities in the English language, but a hex dump isn't quite the English language, so it'd be completely useless. Even if this text were English, though, the LLM would make opinionated edits (e.g. twiddling the punctuation): you'd be unlikely to get a faithful reproduction out the other end.
"can submarines swim"

It's a funny phrase people use to somehow discredit AI, like it isn't really 'thinking', AI 'thinking' is like a submarine 'swimming'. But doesn't really provide much insight.

Let's say a submarine can't swim. Thus, by inference, AI can't think.

So what, the submarine still beats every human in every swim competition. The submarine dominates the humans, literally destroys them, churns them into chum. No human can beat a submarine swimming.

And thus also with AI 'thinking'. OK by funny analogy, AI does not 'think'.

Again, so what, if whatever it is doing is completely dominating humans. We can argue all day that AI is not 'thinking' can't 'reason', but if it is doing whatever it is doing better than humans, then it still destroys the humans.
Every time I try Krita I bounce off of it because the controls are too different from Photoshop. For my relatively simple use cases, Krita could be a replacement for Photoshop, which I've been using on and off for roughly 30 years. The muscle memory runs deep. Just something simple like holding alt to toggle the magnifying glass between zoom-in/zoom-out doesn't work in Krita and the configuration doesn't allow for this.
That is so wild to me. I only consume media there if I am sent a link. Every time I have gone there I find content that is literally optimized to use up and waste as much of my time as possible under the incentive of maximizing viewer minutes. I wonder what it would be like to spend a day in your shoes.

Facebook doesn't provide phone support, and people get desperate. People then Google things like "Facebook support phone".

All you'll find is results like https://gethuman.com/phone-number/Facebook or https://facebook-pay.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.htm... or the Quora post that all have numbers that almost certainly goes to a scammer.

Bonus points when it makes it into the AI models (as happened here) where they repeat it verbatim as if it were the truth.

It's not too hard to get a small boat to rescue them and be shepherded to the airport. The Saudis aren't doing it because they are owed port fees.

Negligent boat owners should lose their property just like negligent land (real property) owners do.

Please be more critical about what you read. The source you linked is full of lies and is designed to mislead you.

For instance, this line right here: "But then along came Alvin Bragg, a Left-wing prosecutor who ran for office on the promise that he would do what prior prosecutors had failed to do, to get Donald Trump."

Try to find out where Bragg "ran for office on the promise the he would... get Trump".

I guarantee you, you will not be able to find this, because Bragg didn't actually do that.

Continuing:

There is nothing illegal about paying money to buy silence. It happens every day in court cases and business deals, where money is paid for non-disclosure agreements. And there is nothing illegal about politicians hiding their dirty laundry, happens every campaign.

This is so reductive. It's not what happened. You can do both of these things, *but you can't use campaign money to pay for it*. Because if you did, you'd have to report it, thus defeating the purpose of the payment.

That's the whole reason they had Michael Cohen do it off the books. But again, they had to hide the payment, so they lied about its purpose (legal expenses, they were not), and then they memorialized that lie in corporate records.

Crime 1 - falsification of business records. You can't tell the government a payment was for legal expenses when it was not.

Crime 2 - misuse of campaign funds. You can't use campaign finances to make hush money payments without reporting them, and you can't circumvent that mandated reporting by having your fixer take out a mortgage and then paying him back with pretextual "legal expenses".
Yeah but operating a service like YouTube is such a money pit (given on recent HN threads I've read). It seems like they've been mostly able to work because of their huge ad network, targeting, etc.
Every flea market I have ever been to in my life always has some guy with a huge amount of lightly used and heavily assorted high-dollar power tools.

Before Home Depot started putting tools in cages, I used to see a lot of craigslist/marketplace/etc postings for brand new and unopened tools, posted at amazing prices.

Not a "Linux" issue, but I once had to do a presentation to all developers / testers for a major product.

It's quite important to set clear standards for what is, and isn't, in a bug report. Otherwise, far too much time is spent chasing down information that the reporter (unintentionally) neglected to provide.

It's also important to realize that whoever is fixing a bug isn't responsible for onboarding the submitter in writing a good bug report. That also wastes time.
I don't know wvy you're being downvoted.
From various experiences, I have had that realization as well.

> what is the LLM doing differently when it generates tokens that are "wrong" compared to when the tokens are "right"?

When they don't recall correctly, it is hallucination. When they recall perfectly, it is regurgitation/copyright infringement. We find issue either way.

May I remind you that we also hallucinate, memory plays tricks on us. We often google stuff just to be sure. It is not the hallucination part that is a real difference between humans and LLMs.

> Why do humans produce speech?

We produce language to solve body/social/environment related problems. LLMs don't have bodies but they do have environments, such as a chat room, where the user is the environment for the model. In fact chat rooms produce trillions of tokens per month worth of interaction and immediate feedback.

If you look at what happens with those trillions of tokens - they go into the heads of hundreds of millions of people, who use the LLM assistance to solve their problems, and of course produce real world effects. Then it will reflect in the next training set, creating a second feedback loop between LLM and environment.

By the way, humans don't produce speech individually, if left alone, without humanity as support. We only learn speech when we get together. Language is social. Human brain is not so smart on its own, but language collects experience across generations. We rely on language for intelligence to a larger degree than we like to admit.

Isn't it a mystery how LLMs learned so many language skills purely from imitating us without their own experience? It shows just how powerful language is on its own. And it shows it can be independent on substrate.
The post you're responding to is being sarcastically self-effacing. They're ironically suggesting that we do what we have already begun to do.
you could mount and chroot the vm image, and install into that.
What helps me is:

1. Taking breaks more often.
2. Using bigger monitor with bigger fonts, so I could sit further away.
3. Using Apple Vision Pro as a monitor replacement as it gives you 4-5 feet focal distance.

The last one lets me work at my computer all day without getting double vision, but it's not very comfortable and you start to feel the weight after 2 hours or less. Plus the friction on putting it on, connecting, etc.
I just installed uBlock Origin Lite and didn't see any difference between uBlock Origin on the sites I frequent. One thing I like about uBlock Lite is that it defaults to Basic mode which does not require the permission to read and modify data.
Agreed. I've taken to uploading all relevant documentation as a text file along with my prompt. Even that doesn't always work.

If the income is taxable for me, but I get no form in the mail and can't even request one (because it's not my account), then how was I supposed to file a correct tax return in the first place?
Interesting! The area is at the tropics so there's not much shadows for the majority of the day. And it seems as if its only very early in the morning where these shadows occur. A small change in time and the shadow changes greatly. Equally a very small variation in elevation of the mountain and plain may give different results.
Show HN: I built a directory about big life decisions/regrets
Hi,

A question others often ask me when I'm struggling with a decision is "will you regret it?"

And that simple paradigm can make the answer clear.

But sometimes, I'm not sure. Sometimes, it seems like the options are equivalent – 6 one, half a dozen the other.

That got me curious about what other decisions people have made and whether they regret those decisions and why.

So, I made Did You Regret It – a directory of big life decisions and whether people regretted them, including their reasoning.

It might not actually help you make a huge life decision, but it's interesting to hear other people's stories in little bite-sized pieces.
> The default kernel package has been updated from 6.1 to 6.6. All supported kernels since 4.19 remain available.

It is perhaps also worth pointing out that you can easily grab a newer kernel as well; https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Linux_kernel discusses options.

(Which I mostly mention because I skimmed the page, saw 6.6, made a confused face, went back to check that yes I do in fact have Linux 6.8 on my NixOS 23.11 system, then reread and realized they said default which I didn't really process the first time.)
You should recalibrate your LLM detector, then.
this was even funnier the first time i read it and understood it as mozilla developers, as a joke on resource allocation.

For sure A. I would never buy a car that is the first model year of a revamp. I would give them at least a year to work out the bugs.
I'm sorry but paying $30 for legal insurance sounds like a red flag. Either they know for absolutely sure that they will never have to pay out on the insurance, or they don't intend to pay out if/when you need it. Have you read the fine print to make sure there isn't an exclusion that will void the insurance as soon as there is any kind of problem? E.g., if the user made any kind of mistake in declaring stuff to the filing company (even a trivial one), then the insurance is voided?
ie churches/schools? Constantly. Frequently. Several times a week.

I'm sure lots of users of the affected plugins saw no reason why those would change, either.

I think the new owners have established a precedent that they're will make to make such drastic changes.
Ah yes, I am reminded of the age-old internet proverb: "A socket change a year keeps the goyim in fear."
Look into ortho-k contact lenses. My siblings all have terrible eyesight but mine is ok around -1.5 and I was the only one who used ortho-k contacts.
A lot of the points in the articles are issues anywhere, it just depends on how well they are understood in the context and how mature the tooling is. Eg: rate limiting in REST is rarely problematic because we have no end of WAFs and gateways and circuit breaker libraries that understand REST very well.

It's very true that a few years ago the gap was there, and people implementing GQL had to solve all these problems without access to these mature solutions.

But these days, they're mostly solved problems. Authorization by type that propagate through the graph is pretty simple. Rate limiting and complexity limits on queries is often built in the frameworks. Query parsing is solved with persisted query all the major frameworks have as first class citizen. Performance: lots of GQL caching solutions out there, and the "multi threaded by default" model used by most frameworks helps a lot.

Etc etc etc.

I jumped companies a lot, did both. For a while I too thought GQL was redundant, then went back to a more classic world after a successful GQL implementation. I had forgotten how many problems were solved, especially organizational and people communication issues, through GQL. And so we're moving to GQL again.

Someone in the comment mentioned GQL is a tech solution for an organizational problem. I'll say most good software tooling and frameworks ARE tech solutions for org problem, because technology is usually a solution to people problem. GQL is the peek of that, and it does it quite well. Don't use GQL to solve tech problems, there's better tools for those.
Courts are pretty good at not stirring up unnecessary trouble. So they are currently “resolving” all the many cases where a company dropped support and the customer doesn’t really mind because the device is old. They’re doing a great job resolving this Spotify case where Spotify is offering refunds and people are getting their money back. The vast majority of the time, there’s no need for a lawsuit and everyone works it out… that’s better than statutes which often stir up unnecessary disputes.

“Open” “unsupported” hardware would be hard because frankly I don’t know what that means. People who have the Spotify thing are pretty much free to do what they want with it. There are some DRM and anti-circumvention laws… but those are bad laws regardless of whether the device is supported or not. Again, just repeal those statutes as well.

How about directly connecting a DSO to the speaker terminals?
From you early comment along the lines of "I make my taxes as complicated as possible so that I can save money on taxes"

You would never take the one number if you could save money by making it a thousand instead. Eg. if your state did that simplification, youd move to a different state that doesn't have the simplification so you can save a couple bucks on the taxes
Duckduckgo used to advertise that they were all about getting out of the filter bubble but they insist on throwing a bunch of irrelevant totally unrelated garbage in their search results based on my IP address. The service has really gone downhill and I can't even blame it on bing
I don't think you know anything about me to claim I don't know the value of tools commercial or not. I have quite the collection, come from a family of construction where my grandfather was a custom cabinet maker where I grew up in his woodshop. It's amazing how people just assume so wildly wrong.

Even at $200, that doesn't even qualify as anything more than a misdemeanor. The police are just not going to care if the victim even bother reporting it. I've had my battery powered lawn equipment stolen within the time it took me to push my mower to the front of the house and then walk back to the garage to grab the now stolen items. Of course I didn't report it to the police. Why would I waste my time as well as theirs? I even specifically qualified some equipment like construction equipment would potentially raise an eyebrow implying their value is more than my weekend warrior power tools.

Talking about totally being so far off base, and missing the point that you even attempt to use math to get to. However, even your math totally misses the point. If you think $200 gets the police excited, you are grossly putting too much faith in the system. It doesn't matter at all that somebody else thinks $200 is hardly peanuts. It doesn't move the needle at all in motivating someone doing some investigating. That is the point I was making. It's the perfect crime to run for a long time as even if it is reported, nobody is going to do anything about it.
I disagree with you in that, only system software should be installed by the native package manager. Everything else should be AppImages.
I wonder if you open up this to also deconstruct color variables (-var) into their respective hex codes if you'd get more results of sites that use design systems.

Have you explored that much at all?

Cool project!
> Tax policy is the government's strongest tool to change personal behavior, and if the system is simple and automated it doesn't do that at all.

I'm not sure I agree. For example, I used to pay city wage tax to one municipality, and I decided I did not want to pay that city tax anymore so I took a job in another area that no longer had the city wage tax. I would be due the wage tax no matter what, and I was aware of exactly how much the wage tax was by looking at my pay stub every two weeks. Having my taxes prepared for me doesn't really change that.
I've personally been watching YouTube less and less. The ads are insane. I would normally spend more time watching videos but it's become so disruptive

I think most of us can agree that many videos are unnecessarily long (as it's incentivized by the creator for ad revenue), so there's far more fluff in it. With the rise of LLMs, etc for getting knowledge fast , I just can't see how this model is sustainable. I don't want to waste time watching videos that could have been a short paragraph. And when you add 30 second ads every 5 mins it makes it even less compelling
> Because DDR4 is electrically different and memory controllers are all on-die.

Them being on-die is exactly why you don't need a socket change to take full advantage of DDR4, since they directly showed a socket can support both at once. Unless you're particularly worried about people trying to buy a new motherboard for their existing CPU, but who does that? You can tell them no without blocking CPU upgrades for everyone else.

LGA1151 supported both DDR3 and DDR4.

Thanks for not ####’-le’ing the title.

The shuffle option is a nice touch. Did you always have it, or added after some play testing? Really saved me with some of the longer words
Formats, plural.

sign:explicit leading mantissa bit:mantissa bits:exponent bits

1:0:(P-1):(8-P) where P ∈ [1,7]

P ∈ [3,5] appears to be more useful

binary8p3 -> 1:0:2:5

binary8p4 -> 1:0:3:4

binary8p5 -> 1:0:4:3

Edge cases:

P = 8 would disallow all exponent bits, leaving a sign bit and 7 explicit mantissa bits of precision

P = 0 would be unsigned and 8 exponent bits with only an implicit precision bit but no explicit mantissa bits
