Titles vary greatly but the general domain is information security and cyber security. Here is a good primary of basic qualifications and duties for a given role (Generic, not tuned to a specific company) - https://www.cyberseek.org/pathway.html

This type of information (OSINT of vulns/cves, proof of concepts) is useful for the Blue team side of defending against attackers. With easy to access information in a timely manner, the defenders can proactively put roadblocks and alerts into place for vulnerabilities as opposes to AFTER they are popped/hacked by such.

Prevention is ideal; detection, a must.
Yeah agreed to both of you. I had the same thought.
I still mask (and wear a flo mask to boot!) -- now I wonder if people think I'm a conspiracy theorist?

I have a soft spot for conspiracy theorists: they have such a charitable view of humanity that they believe a large number of people can keep a secret.
I wonder if they could get the setup and updates to be as easy as once.com?
oh, ha. Makes sense.
We couldn't at Twitter, which is the only company I've worked at that had a blanket trading blackout policy. The closest we could do was elect to sell all RSUs as soon as they vested (even if outside an open window).
I have to confirm this as a nerdy french person: I don't like sports and it always felt awkward because it's not something I enjoy, people keep asking for it and it makes me uncomfortable.
I tried hard to fit in though: I tried judo, tennis, swimming, running, rowing.
But couldn't make any stick, 2 years each (except judo for a few years).

French moms really force you to exercise and my immigrant dad always felt weird about it.
> I know people in your position who have ~$200k cash comp in addition to meaningful equity.

That's great, so long as its taken within the context of "200k is way more than the average US engineer makes without any equity"
> I think if you're going to be against something, it's really important to understand it.

As someone who considers themselves an environmentalist, and thinks we are doing some terrible things to the Earth right now that we're going to be paying back for generations, I couldn't agree more. I used to love the passion, but having seen first-hand how counter-productive it can be (when it's coupled with low information), I wish people would hear and accept that message.

When it comes to disagreements, especially political (which the Earth/environment should not be a political issue, but here we are), the people you are trying to convince are going to pay attention the worst representatives, and they will suck all the oxygen for the debate away. Some of that is done in bad faith, but mostly it's just human nature.

Please people, for all that is holy:

1. Stop treating the other side as enemies that just hate the planet and want to kill it. Virtually nobody believes that. It's a different set of priorities. Many people on the other side have their priorities in the wrong order, but you won't be able to help fix them if you don't understand them. (also you may be the one who is wrong! don't be the arrogant person you believe them to be. Stay humble, and stay true to the truth, even if it's not what you want it to be).

2. Educate yourself before you make a decision. If you care about the Earth (which you very well should!) learn about it! Don't make dumb arguments out of ignorance, as that will just push intelligent/informed people away.

3. Build trust and bridges, not wedges. Most people in the oil industry (or whatever issue it is) do care about these things. If you demonstrate trustworthiness by being fair and accurate, they will listen to you. You may not convince them immediately, but I promise it will make a difference. If you make an ass out of yourself though, you will never, ever change their minds, and you make it harder for the next person to do so because you pollute the water (an intentional metaphor).

Getting this right may very well determine how long humanity gets to live on this planet, so this is serious business. We need to change, and we need to change soon, so the time for games is over.
Show HN: Name Capy – Find a domain name you're happy with
Names should be short and memorable.
But naming things is, hard.
Finding a good name? Tough.
Getting one with a domain?
Well ... It feels down right impossible.
Especially, if you have trouble naming variables like me.

Hi hackers, I'm Dian.

This all started about a month ago, when I finally started my own company!
It's been long overdue, so I filed the paperworks and got a domain.
But.
When my friend asked me about it at Starbucks,
I had to lower my head, sip some matcha, and try to hide the embarrassment of a name.
That's when I knew,

I done goofed.

As it turns out, I'm not alone in my misery, and naming is a skill.

Steven Paul Jobs, yup, Steve Jobs, wanted to call the iMac ... the 'MacMan'.
Issy Sharp wanted to create the 'Thunderbird Inn'. But that was taken. So he named it Four Seasons.
And Phil Knight, at the very last minute, before his shoes goes into production, decided to call it Nike.
Oh, what was the name he himself came up with?
Dimension Six.

Imagine.
Running in a pair of Dimension Six.
Working on a MacMan.
Or vacationing at a Thunderbird.
Yuck.

So why are people bad at naming? I wanted to know how other people came up with names. Then I came across PG's essay https://paulgraham.com/name.html
Two things:
lack of imagination,
and identity (I think its the endowment effect).
And that gave me an idea,
to build a tool just for naming.

Name Capy.
Find a domain name you're happy with.

It's completely free!
Well, until my OpenAI credits run out lol.
You can try it out here:

https://namecapy.com/

And yes, I used it to name itself. It combined the service I'm providing, 'naming', and my love of 'capybaras'.

Let me know what you think.
The people that made those decisions are gone
Bookmarks are "this I may want to go see again later"

Likes are "I want to express a positive feeling towards this but don't care if I can ever see it again"

Not the same thing
practical = practical for routine mathematical work, which they aren't right now, which Tao says in the article itself.

Never have I ever said or implied, here or anywhere else, that proof checkers are useless and bad and stupid.
It’s not the messages I worry about so much — it’s the contacts.

I can’t use WhatsApp because on iOS it asks for access to your contacts, which I refuse to give. (Facebook already burned me once, there.) So in WhatsApp, all my contacts show up as numeric phone numbers, and there’s no way to change that, so it’s basically useless to me.
Only if you're not encrypting many billions of small messages with the same key, which is a possibility. It's just barely large enough for many uses, and "just barely" makes cryptographers nervous.
And I think they're better for it.

We use both azure ans AWS at my current org. We recently had an internal 'hackathon' to try Llms in both orgs (Claude for AWS, ChatGPT4 for Azure) on our knowledge bases.

Clearly, we couldn't differentiate them on response quality, not in 3 days, but on how easy and integrable the LLM was, AWS was superior, even for our mostly Azure teams, weirdly.
It doesn't really make sense to compare it to something in the U.S where both parties fight over meaningless stuff like who can go into which bathrooms and which books you can burn.

In Mexico the local government is the problem since they are often part of the cartels so the only way to change things is for these communities to setup a local milita, kick out the goverment/police and put a very utilitarian government in its place.
Any insights on why this component cannot be subdivided into smaller pieces?

One-on-one SMS was mostly fine, but group SMS was a constantly-buggy mess back when I was on Android, too.

I wouldn’t be surprised if SMS experience has more to do with carriers and with the details of the network topology and composition between correspondents, than with phone vendor.
Yeah, then the investors call a board meeting and bring in a new CEO to provide adult supervision after a 2/3rds vote. The give that guy more equity than you to keep the ship afloat. "It's not your company anymore."
Pay could be better, and hardware bugs can be frustrating, but I definitely respect embedded guys a lot. More than most generalist developers, in fact, due to the atoms-adjacent nature of their work.

Many huge private companies, like Stripe, have found ways to provide liquidity to their employees without going public, e.g., through tender offers. Some more recent examples of companies where early employees did very well would be AirBnB, Coinbase and DoorDash.
As a privacy preserving move, I like it. Even though I can’t be bothered to like anything there. They probably see that as a problem for their ranking algorithm, hence the change.

No, but being earlier does mean taking on more risk, which is the whole argument founders and seed investors make for their cuts.

> Their response is basically "we won't abuse it".

Their response states that the data will be used for the improvement of existing products and services. They offer generative AI as a service. So "we won't abuse it" may be about using the data for something else.
In my view, it starts being a problem as soon as people start complaining about the person "causing" said lack of functionality, rather than the companies at fault for it. (Everybody who believes that unencrypted RCS, after a literal decade, is the best these two giants could come up with is deluding themselves.)

I'm fortunately too old to ever have experienced this myself, but so I have to rely on others' observations for this.

That said, I wouldn't quite call it "discrimination" yet, but it's certainly uninformed, targeted at the wrong entity, and on top of that is at least a bit icky given the quite large difference in retail pricing of iPhone and Android smartphones.
Resharing content is a very high bar. I will upvoted or like >50 things in a day, many days. I tend to reshare stuff ~4 times a week. These are - to me - very obviously different levels of networking & connection; I want to share what I like but I'm not trying to flood the zone & broadcast on main every little thing I enjoy that I run across; my actual account distills down to things that make it across a high threshold barrier. But heck yes people should be able to see yeah what else I'm enjoying if they want to deep dive!

What's fucking batshot insane is the lack of a feature is being imposed on everyone. Fine! Make it an option to hide your shameful guilty shit you don't want people to see! De-network if you must, if you are scared. But to take this away from everyone, to deny the option to network & share at this pleasant simple low level? That's insane. I cannot imagine how anyone would entertain such a destructive negative anti-network path as what should be forced on everyone.
You may not want privacy guard rails to be contrary to progress in AI but I'm afraid they may be.
What do you mean they aren't used to computers making mistakes? Have they ever asked Siri/Alexa something and got useless answers? Have they ever seen ASR or OCR software making mistakes? Have they called semi-automated call centers with prompt "say what you need instead of clicking numbers" only to hear repeated "sorry, I don't understand you" until you scream "connect me to a bloody human"? Have they ever seen a situation when automated border control gates just don't work for whatever reason and there are humans around to sort this out? Have they ever used google translate in last 20 years for anything remotely complicated, like a newspaper article? Have they ever used computers for actual math? Is computer particularly good at solving partial differential equations, for example? Have they ever been in a situation where GPS led them to a closed road or a huge traffic jam? Have they ever played video games where computers sometimes make stupid things?

Sure, computers are better at arithmetic humans, but let's be honest, nobody uses chatgpt as a calculator. Last 20 years AI is getting everywhere, we keep laughing that sometimes AI systems make very obvious stupid mistakes. Now we finally have a system that makes subtle mistakes very confidently and suddenly people are like "I thought computers are never wrong". I can't fathom how anyone would expect that.
And this gets complicated with having multiple versions of Python. I can have 5 venvs for 3 versions of Python, and nothing is shared.
I can't say I saw any standout features that will be enough to incentive an upgrade, other than maybe FOMO.
Yes i assumed parent was referring to early exercise but maybe i misread. Imo early exercise doesn’t make a ton of sense when the company no longer qualifies for qsbs especially if long exercise window is offered so probably why it’s not offered - to avoid a ton of drama later on
AI's learning ineffectiveness and how to fix it
Terminal.app supports clicking URLs (cmd+double click). But what I want is to cmd+click (relative) file paths, with no URL scheme prefix. iTerm 2 supports this, and I miss it when I use Terminal.app.
No mention of data lineage, governance or logging.
Hey this is a nice write up and I'm glad to be able to follow along, I've been writing Python since around 2012. Poetry is a step in the right direction, but I would love to see it baked into the language itself somehow.
100% agree. I don't want to converse with Alexa. I think the miss was not thinking about it as a media delivery platform with some utility. I use Alexa in the Kitchen and Bathroom when I'm doing other things. Hands free timers while cooking is great. But mostly it is listening to music. But they should have tried to be a #1 podcast source from day 1. I'd also like local weather and news from a local source. They could have made that another focus. Audio books and a lot of the other Amazon controlled content translates well to an Alexa. I think they focused too much on the smart house side and not enough on hands-free content consumption.
The New Turing Test
Unfortunately I can’t read the original text myself but the machine translation I looked at used the phrase “5G messages” so I interpreted what the Redditor was doing as providing clarification as to what that is in context (“RCS”). Per the document you pulled up, I can see why it would just be called 5G Messaging or something like that, not technically true, but may as well be true as I didn’t realize the GSMA had also mandated it for what they’re calling their “Universal Profile”.

> Operators are free to decide whether or not to implement RCS within their 4G networks. However, the 5G standards mandate the implementation of RCS in 5G networks and devices.
As you’ll know when dealing with non-tech family, if it’s not the default it doesn’t exist But yes your idea of sending a low res placeholder and only downloading the full res on click sounds elegant.
No one is forcing you to invite such people over for dinner and cook for them. I'm sure they'd be happier not spending time with you, based on this short interaction I've had with you.
I understand the need for writing this as an SDK over existing languages for adoption reasons, but in your opinion would a programming language purposely built for such a paradigm make more sense?
Feedback: everybody’s question is going to be on why this over temporal? I’ve noticed you answered a little bit of that below. My advice would be to write a detailed blog post maybe on how both the systems compare from installation to use cases and administration, etc - I’ve been following your blog and while I think y’all are doing interesting stuff I still haven’t wrapped my head around how exactly is restate different from temporal which is a lot more funded, has almost every unicorn using them and are fully permissively licensed.
You can put HAProxy in front with a write- and a read-frontend with a backend each and all servers in the backend. To determine which server is a write instance or a standby you can provide a `external-check command` to the backends. That command can be a bash script, that connects to the server and executes `SELECT pg_is_in_recovery();`.
Went to Signal to sign up and it is requesting a phone number. How do I give it a username instead?
I believe subdivision property in Texas doesn’t come with mineral rights.

I can only imagine how upset an HOA would get if drilling operations were performed without an approved architectural modification request.
Nothing is real anymore. I wonder if that so-called "ice cream" is actually ice cream.
Yeah it’s also where bookmark, find, print, sharing, and a ton of other stuff are. It’s not like it’s some menu nobody ever looks at, it’s an entirely normal place for something like that to be based on what else they’ve put there.
> I think this might be one of the reasons Ubuntu got popular back in the day

That's absolutely one of the big reasons. I've been a Debian user since slink/potato.

When Ubuntu first came out, it was still heavily Debian rebranded, with some newer packages, and better out-of-the-box driver support. I would some times choose it over Debian because of that. In time, Debian became more compatible and Ubuntu drifted out into what feels like VC-led product development.

It's kind of sad how these days a lot of people default to Ubuntu even though Debian would likely serve them better.
> It also allows for much easier reverting of specific changes in case some part of a topic needs removed.

I guess I struggle to see where reverting entire commits makes more sense than just deleting the offending code in a new commit.

Huh. I usually push against the use of american-style weirdo units to describe things, but I guess one benefit is that if you specify multiple different units, you get automatic protection against typos!
Cast iron cookware is a fun, low-grade/background hobby for me. Both using and restoring it. You can often find it affordably at garage sales, estate sales, etc - and even if it looks like it's in bad shape it often is quite recoverable. The restoration process is pretty simple - run it through the homemade electrolysis rig for a day or two, test for lead[1], season and it's ready to use. Once restored it can be sold or given away - and the collectors/aficionados will pay a pretty penny for some pieces.

On the cooking side, well seasoned cast iron is nice for a lot of situations, and the maintenance and care is a breeze.[2].

The part I like the most is that it lasts forever. Every day i use cookware that my great-grandparents bought and used when raising my grandmother, and after they passed, my grandmother used them cooking for the family, and now I use them. There's some other family heirlooms, but the cast iron is my favorite because there's that practical daily connection to my roots - and I don't have to be particularly careful or reverent with it. Somehow that makes it feel more real.

[1] This is really important, particularly with old cast iron. People used to be far less cautious about lead, and used it in a lot of settings. A cast iron pan is a pretty good vessel for melting it down. The tests are readily available and you can know for sure if you'll be poisoning yourself or others.

[2] You'll find a lot of nonsense about cast iron. A lot of it is accumulated wisdom that no longer applies, and a lot of it is myth. For example: soap used to be bad for cast iron because it had lye - a caustic agent like that can eat into the seasoning and cause problems (modern dish-soap isn't like that). Generally I find cleaning and maintenance to be equal to or less effort than any other pan, just different - I'm happy to trade an extra 30s of cleaning time over a non-stick pan so that I can use a good metal spatula or tongs instead of some flimsy plastic crap.
That is true, individual steps should be idempotent or undo-able.

But really only each individual one needs to be idempotent, rather than the full sequence, and that makes many situations much easier.

For example, you create a new permissions role and assign it to the user (two steps). If you safely memoize the result from the first step (let's say role uid) then any retries just assign the same role to the user again (which would not make a difference). Without memoizing the step, you might retry the whole process, assign two roles, or create a lot of code to try and figure out what was created before and reconnect the pieces.

You can also use this to memoize generated ids, dry-run-before change, ensure undos run to completion (sagas style), even implement 2PC patterns if you want to.
But that doesn't mean that modern activities can't affect the stability of the groundwater in those wells. If the outflow is pretty salty it stands to reason that it's produced water that was dumped underground.
It absolutely guarantees reliability on the protocol level. If mobile network operators are load-shedding, that's on them.

I've never experienced this in decades of using GSM, and it's only recently become a thing (mostly for 2FA SMS since I stopped using it for P2P communication).
Here is a fan-out example for async tasks: https://docs.restate.dev/use-cases/async-tasks#parallelizing...
First, a number of tasks are scheduled, and then their results are collected (fan-in). This probably comes closest to what you are looking for.
Each of those tasks gets executed durably, and their execution tracked by Restate.
> I think you are missing 'in our lifetime'

I guess it depends when you are born. Peak population is predicted around 2075, and that's within a lot of people's lifetime.

> Also 'declining every year' doesn't mean it won't start growing again

That's a bit obvious and is equivalent to saying "anything could happen".

But unless you have a good reason for a reversal in trend, then there's no reason to think it will.
That is in fact one of the accessibility settings. Increases contrast front the blue bubbles too, and color contrast between foreground and background colors system wide.
Ask HN: Are you still using your Vision Pro?
