Usually they do. I worked at one place where they issued me a junk laptop that was a hand-me-down from a saleman who couldn't sell. I was ready to quit over the slow builds but I wound up just buying my own development box which somewhat shocked my boss but it turned out OK.

Everywhere else I got a machine that was the same as what everybody else got except for the place that used Macs everywhere but I was the machine learning engineer so I got an Alienware laptop with a good GPU.
Oh, wow! This was one of the reasons I wrote my own editor, years ago - I liked nano and used it frequently, but preferred conventional GUI-style control-key bindings.

Unfortunately, we do not want LLMs to tell us "all sorts of things," we want them to tell us the truth, to give us the facts. Happy to read how this is the wrong way to use LLMs, but then please stop shoving them into every facet of our lives, because whenever we talk about real-life applications of this tech it somehow is "not the right fit".
The OP Hudson Rock writes something that I understand is saying: This was more than a breach of one customer's credentials, they got some employee creds and they weren't protected by 2 factor so they got into other customer accounts using that engineer's creds.

The snowflake writeup reads to me as if a customer's account creds got compromised - and it implied to me that was the end of it, no central or other account access on thoes creds. Nothing about this use of some employee account info that didn't have 2 factor auth on it.

1. I'm sure snowflake wants all access creds of any kind for their internal employees to use 2fa.

2. It used to be at least as a customer you could create a name/password without 2fa to log in to your own info there if you wanted to, like say as a customer you create a db or table and want to access it.

Same, with a few exceptions. Once in a blue moon, I check if one of the two creators I care about has something I want to watch.
It's more sad that your expectations would be met in most places.
That's accurate, but given the lack of words to the effect of "You can also put", it deserves the clarification that the most common something else is - as the parent suggested - a ∞-ohm resistor, either as a specific component or more commonly in the form of the absense of a component.
What chapter has that? I didn't see it searching the gitlab.
Is it going to be open to itemizers? IIRC this year it wasn’t, which means a lot of people weren’t eligible (and basically had to pay an itemization penalty to a tax preparer/company).
> An individual did do this. They did not go to jail.

Right, and that's not the point OP was making.

> Trespass vs. B&E is nuanced, and I'm definitely oversimplifying it. The "misconception" is widespread enough that it includes lawyers

I'm guessing you didn't bother to read the link you dropped, because it actually undermines your entire claim. Before you pat yourself on the back, you might want to look up what qualifies as "use of force". It's not the way you seem to be using the word.

The only lens through which what you're saying is even vaguely correct is that some states don't have a specific statute of "breaking and entering", instead prosecuting it as "criminal trespass", but even then it's a distinction without a difference: it's prosecutable as a charge for using force to gain unauthorized access to a location with the express intent of committing a felony.

In any case, this whole discussion is pretty pointless, because as I already said, the fact that there's a different word used when the crime happens in meatspace vs. cyberspace is wholly uninteresting and not relevant to the original topic, and - as I also already said - you have clearly misunderstood the crux of OP's statement and so there's no point in continuing down this rabbithole.

The pricing looks quite competitive, although I'm not sure what the prior rates were.

There's something I consider the three necessary components of a problem. You need: What you did, What you expected, and What you got.

If you don't have those three, you have a complaint, not a problem. "Don't work" is not a problem, it's a complaint. "When I run the report with THESE PARAMETERS, I get X, but it should be Y"

Sometimes, parts are implied, but they should be explicit when there's any chance of variability. Sometimes people would tell me, "this person isn't in the system". And I'd check the database, and they'd be there. So I would say "Yes, they are". Then, the back and forth to narrow down that what they meant was that this person wasn't showing up in a certain part of the application that they expected them to.

Which is a different scenario all together.

It's also, a little related to the "XY problem" as people like suggesting solutions rather than describing problems. Then there's also the case where the problem is the expectation itself rather than anything technical.

Yes, Ballista failed to gain traction. I think that one of the challenges was that it only supported a small subset of Spark, and there was too much work involved to try and get to parity with Spark.

The Comet approach is much more pragmatic because we just add support for more operators and expressions over time and fall back to Spark for anything that is not supported yet.
There's a middle ground in the form of "report error" windows that pop up when the application crashes.

In the Netherlands, when you buy a new appliance you pay a few euros extra "recycling fee"; the company delivering the new appliance will take the old one back for recycling, and / or the money goes into a fund for recycling the product you just bought. (I just read up on it, it used to be a separate charge, it's now baked into the price, probably because people were balking about it)

He's speaking the truth.

Google has, for a long while now, let scammers just buy advertisements to get their fake scam page to the top of the results. And not just major banks, various open source software have been subject to this exact attack.

It's imperative for security that you install adblockers on all their devices.
"But AirTags aren't for finding stolen things!", someone asserts every time someone mentions wanting to use AirTags for finding stolen things.
But if it links to the B9GDSIG series refrigerator, which has the 240v H and 120v Y subtypes, then it would be correct in suggesting that?

Same with error messages - they often have timestamps, or local object IDs/memory addresses, which you also want to be fuzzy-matched.

I think the issue is the de-emphasis of "power" modifiers for google - it's less obvious how to say "This part of the string needs exact match, this can be fuzzy"

> The crime was very cut and dry. What might confusing is that the felony level escalation could be triggered by any one of several crimes and those don’t have to be committed by the same person

Yeah, so not cut and dry.

And the "confusing" part is required to arrive at a guilty verdict. The falsifying records charge cannot stand on it's own because the statute of limitations (2 years) has passed. Prosecutors had to engineer the charges into a felony via accusing Trump of violating NY election law (or maybe tax law?), which is anything but cut and dry.

Hi!

Thanks for the kind words and helping me improve the app. I really appreciate it!

I'll make sure to fix some of these for the next update.
Show HN: I built an interactive cloth solver for Apple Vision Pro
A bit more context - the cloth sim is part of my app, Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). It's designed to be an active meditation / relaxation app, so you can play relaxing instruments in space and immersive breathing exercises. The original Lungy is a breathing app available for iOS, that uses real-time breathing with interactive visuals.

The cloth sim is a Verlet integration, running on a regular grid. For now, I have tried a couple of different cloth scenes - a sort of touch reactive 'pad', where different parts of the cloth are mapped to different sounds and a cloth that blows in sync with breathing. The collision detection is a little bit tricky with the deforming mesh, but seems to work ok overall. Overall, it seems like a cool interaction to explore.

The cloth sim is live on the app store now (and free) - would love to hear feedback from anyone with a Vision Pro.

> Some of the code in the core Redpanda Connect repo is still MIT-licensed, and we technically could have kept using some of it, but we couldn’t wait around to find out what the next change would be. We have to ensure that one of our most critical dependencies is being stewarded in a thoughtful and responsible manner. We also cannot, in good conscience, include any software dependencies containing mixed or muddled licensing that could be subject to change (again) at a moment's notice. Our customers deserve more stability and predictability than that.

TLDR: They don't trust Redpanda to not pull the rug again later.

If anything, newer refrigerators and dishwashers are worse than they used to be, because they have to conform to increasingly strict energy usage laws.

- the app should make it more clear when it’s doing something and prevent me from clicking the same thing multiple times while loading (e.g. adding location)

It takes 3 minutes to remove the speaker. There are great tutorials on youtube. I've only purchased airtags for use as theft recovery, and if they beep it defeats the purpose.
What makes you say that? I'm assuming you're adding other assumptions.

My wife and I combined make about $300K/year. We don't run a business, don't make charity contributions, only pay ~$5K in mortgage interest, and don't have kids. We don't even do retail stock investing (EDIT: And I haven't exercised any employer stock options), just a 401k, an IRA, and a 5.25% savings account.

We take the standard deduction. I can't imagine a CPA would be able to find so many possible deductions that it would be worth itemizing.
You can’t pay YouTube to remove in-video ads that the video creators put in. For that you need SponsorBlock anyway, so might as well use a 3p client that supports blocking both kinds of ads, without giving money to Google to continue building ad surveillance software.
Exactly. Archeologist from the future working from fragmentary sources won't be easily able to determine if the mitznefet is battle gear or ceremonial parure. In fact, they could reach the wrong conclusion by noting the bearskin is more widespread than the mitznefet ("if it is efficient battle hat, why isn't it more widely in use?").
- "Very, very far from being unvetted. This algorithm has been used, unchanged, for the 50 years since Flesch–Kincaid was developed."

I mean that the instance is unvetted: the machine score is generated automatically, and placed on the website automatically, and no human in the loop checks if it's reasonable or not. Not that the general algorithm is un-reviewed.

- " But they do give a decent idea of the overall readability of a piece, and that helps you to see if your content is too wordy. They are not, by themselves, an indicator of quality. They are not a substitute for proofreading and editing. But they are a useful tool to have in your arsenal."

This is very fair.

And a lot of them are very rightly illegal to score algorithmically in the EU (for important decisions), without manual oversight, because of the possibility of egregious and unaccountable machine error. The trend of abdicating human agency is not overall a wholesome one.

I'm coming from a place were I do read books (despite the fact I write HN comments like an illiterate stoned baboon, I'm trying my hardest really I am), and they come lovingly edited by obsessed people who put probably thousands of hours into editing each one, individually, with commentary essays that are up to 50-100 pages long, fastidiously crafted to guide the novice explorer. Standard Ebooks is neither a publisher not attempting to replace publishers. But: it's viscerally disturbing to me to see robots taking the hallowed place of human scholars in annotating—in this narrow example, scoring–books, and when they go badly wrong like this Joyce example, it's very upsetting, and makes me (irrationally?) think there's some terribly dangerous cultural normalization for replacing authentic human intelligence with fake, stupid, hopelessly lost machine imitations. And we'll lose many valuable things and our humanity in the process.

I sincerely apologize to anyone I've annoyed with this (I infer I've annoyed a lot of people). I'm just very upset with seeing fake machine stuff everywhere.

Flex the steelmaning and incentivize me to buy YouTube Premium when adblocking gives me the same functionality and I own the process to block.

I'm happy to watch an occasional ad. Maybe 2 minutes for every day, curated and high quality advertisements relevant to everyone. No, I will not pay with my data. No, I will not accept interruption in flow, within or between videos.

Interrupting during a video means adblocking is justified.

Adding adverts to nonmonetized channels means adblocking is justified.

It's my time. Google isn't paying for the use of my eyeballs, and I actively don't purchase things I see advertised via YouTube. I'm not alone in this; most people don't buy for digital ads. They already nefariously steal my data at every opportunity.

True -- I let nostalgia get in the way of reality here. For a long time Google didn't even try to monetize maps, and then they did a bunch of unsuccessful tweak to try to squeeze some money out of it.

Last time I checked Maps was still wildly unprofitable -- too many use cases of maps are searching for a particular destination rather than a general class of things, and balancing ad results and organic results has been something Google has gone back and forth on.

The extent to which Google uses user data from maps searches to track user interest is pretty overblown; there's a lot of struggle involved in trying to extract even slightly useful information.

But things like browsing maps, satellite pictures, and turn by turn directions are straightforward losses for Google, and reflect that earlier spirit.
It seems like inherently a money pit to me. Was Google even profiting off it before they started cramming in ads and offering YT Premium?
Those things are completely orthogonal. A microkernel can arbitrarily restrict what user servers are viable (for example just the ones it ships with), just like a monolithic kernel can arbitrarily restrict what loadable kernel modules are viable (for example just the ones it ships with).
Serving video data to, potentially, billions of users is absolutely expensive.

The way to extend this, if the federal government wanted to push it, would be to define a standard export format from IRS DirectFile, containing all the information in it...

Nice clean interface, and still states' choices on if they want to support.
