>There is no such thing as a small legacy codebase

Very true. As a followup, I think it's worth pointing out that CLI applications in particular can cram a lot of functionality into very few LOC.

Last night, I read through the source code for `cat` (yes, that `cat`) and it was only about 800 lines of fairly breezy C: https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/master/src/cat.c

And a tiny CLI tool I use every day, several times a day, for learning Finnish, is about 200 lines of Python: https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/finstem
As much as I'd love to see something like this everywhere, the problem is it's useless for everyone who loves to play online games or watch DRM-encumbered content, so the majority of the population... because DRM, anticheat and malware all fear the same set of tools/indicators.
Wouldn't be the wildest thing people, or medical professionals, believe. Even clearly displayed aversion to assumed-painful stimuli doesn't mean that people will believe that it's pain that the organism is feeling. Where this comes up pretty often is how crabs are often cooked, when cooks just chuck them alive into hot water.

The other thing that people have to do is drawing lines, life's issues are otherwise overwhelming. Now, where they draw the lines differ widely. It's common to take external markers and make the separation according to that - a safer bet, given that others can see those markers as well, and so, maybe more readily validate the discrimination. Skin color, gender, age, signs of sickness, mental conditions are easy targets for this. In most cases, they are coupled with vulnerability as well, so the history of their abuses is as old as humanity itself - hence I don't think it's that wild that people think such a thing. Unfortunately they think the wildest things, myself included. It's actually quite scary to me.

I never doubt it is a good change for "for-range" loops. The change for "for-range" loops didn't introduce magic hidden code.

But the change on "for;;" loops creates more surprises than before and gets rare and tiny benefit. It introduced magic hidden code. Please read that article for what is the magic hidden code and the surprising cases.

You certainly won't strike gold by saying "there is no gold to be found here" and sitting on your bottom.

Two massive parts of success in entrepreneurship are luck and doing something others didn't want to do, or didn't think was worth it. Both require showing up.

Having a world-changing idea is an overrated and oversold approach. Some people make billions selling underwear or bottled soda. You can make millions out of selling literally anything.
This kind of attitude is of course why the government is more than happy to have megacorporations in control of our public square who they can then push to implement the censorship they want.

Of course unless you are trying to win an internet argumet about free speech with a gotcha that makes you feel smart then you will realize that free speech doesn't just mean preventing the government from directly interfering with your speech but is a much broader concept.
Author of scarecrow here. Our thinking is that if malware starts to adapt and check if scarecrow is installed, we are doing something right. We can then look to update the app to make it more difficult to spot - but its then a cat and mouse game.
I know that, the change of "for-range" is good. But it creates more surprises in the uses of "for;;" loops. Please read the cases in that article.

This post makes no sense. Your both cases are an example where was too much "free speech" (preeches) and too few ( govermental fight against Stürmer)

I guess the analysis about Nazis in the Weimarer Republik are far more complex than a matter of free speech. It tells a lot that I never heard historians seriously discussing it in this context.

It's a change in semantics. So it's surprising if you don't know about the change, and not surprising if you do know about it. I'm familiar with the kind of code that behaves differently under the new scoping rules. Looking at the examples in the post, I don't really share the intuition that the behavior is any more or less surprising for classic 'for' loops as opposed to 'for...range' loops.

There is no "way that tools work"

You pass OpenAPI like schemas along with the prompt and you get back a JSON object. The rest is code and you can do anything you want with. The LLM is merely mapping from unstructured text onto a schema best it can, and we know they are imperfect.
“Sophisticated” detection can be as simple as checking rss and pcpu, the bullshit decoy processes probably aren’t wasting a lot of CPU and RAM, otherwise might as well run the real things; if they are, well, just avoid, who cares. So no, it’s not going to meaningfully complicate anything.

This is due to the garbage GDP numbers. Based on these, the quality of life in the Mississippi is better than in Japan. Not a single chance.

What I am saying is that probably everyone thinks the way you do, it's just that not everyone would describe it in that way.

> Take The Globe, for example - the Facebook before Facebook. They failed

"The company's IPO made history when it posted the largest first day gain of any IPO with a 606% increase in price.[3] Early in his tenure, Paternot became known in popular media as "the CEO in the plastic pants" after he was filmed in a nightclub saying 'Got the girl. Got the money. Now I'm ready to live a disgusting, frivolous life.'"

Then they lost everything in the dot-com bust, but is this really failing? They had an idea and probably made life-changing money. theGlobe failed, the people behind it have not. They unlocked the next tier of freedom where they can work on anything they fancy and drive a McLaren to work. I hope to fail like them.

The right time is defeatist nonsense. It's like the stock market: you can't time it, so just enter and stick with it. Hindsight is a useless tool to entrepreneurship.
> Blaming the ills of society on education doesn't make much sense when we've had societies much longer than we've had public education

Why? Education may easily have negative impact. Modern education was created to teach people to read instructions how to operate factory machinery. Critical thinking is not needed for that. In fact, society without much critical thinking is easier to work with.
Author of scarecrow here. Very good point, i hadnt thought about that.

The kinds of people who would go out of their way to buy plant-based substitute leather products presumably are also not on board with the mass slaughter of livestock for any purpose.

Essential complexity is what program must model based on user needs. Modelling is done for the end user. That's why author mentioned "user says". It's not like "user understands how to describe what they need" rather "we model what user needs". Users will often ask for impossible or contradicting features and can't understand that without our help. I agree that average user will need a lot of help and work to define what they need/want.

Practical example of my abstract description.

User does not want cdn-cached, region-distributed, lambda-backed resizing and validating image services, usage of the latest image compressing formats with fallback for the older browsers with performance dashboats of speed of loading. User wants to see their profile photo on profile page. Showing that photo is an essential complexity as it comes from the end user needs.
There is a gap between freedom of speech in China and the US, but the example you gave attributing it to the fruits of liberalism is not correct. The globalization of the economy and the division of labor in industry is the inevitable result of capital expansion and industrial upgrading. It is also inevitable that labor-intensive industries will move to countries with low labor costs, as will the financial flows generated by these moves, as well as development banks.
It is also the fact that there is a relationship between freedom and economic base, the United States and some European countries have enough economic base to invest in freedom, which is a virtuous circle, on the contrary, excessive freedom in countries with a poor economic base will divert the inputs of economic development, and will instead produce chaos

Nothing in quantum theory is understood at a level where we can say "this is a physical thing" vs "this is a mathematical abstraction of the physical thing", like we can say for classical physics. In classical physics, it's easy to say "masses and speeds and positions and forces are physical things, while energy or the Langrangian or the Hamiltonian are mathematical tools".

But in quantum physics, we have things like the Schrodinger equation (or the QFTs) where it's not clear. They don't appear to be physical, but we also have the Bell inequalities that suggest there can't be an objective physical layer beneath them either, so we are left with a conundrum.

I think a lot of people do believe that quantum fields are real physical things, and actually "more real" than the classical intuitions we have. In this view, the electron field or the electric field are what actually exists, and balls or water or ether are the abstractions.

See this post: AD User Constantly Being Locked ( https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1cb45bi/ad_user_c... )

We're absolutely stumped on this one user who gets locked out almost every day. We've tried a bunch of stuff, including many of the solutions offered in the thread above.

Almost every day, around 11.30, she presses Win + L to lock her screen and then goes to lunch. When she comes back her account is locked, and she has to wait up to 15min before she can log in again.

We've tried...

Checking for network drives with old credentials. There are none.

Removing all credentials in the credentials manager. No help.

Giving her a new computer and wiping the old one to completely eliminate any traces of old credentials. No help.

Wiping her work phone and setting it up again from scratch, also to eliminate any old credentials. No help.

After every one of the above steps, she would get locked out again the next day.

I've checked event logs and also sent them to our second line support, but they can't see anything out of the ordinary.

She has no other devices. When I look her up, only one laptop and one iPhone come up.

Also, she did admit to using Enter to wake her screen, so we explained why that's a bad idea. She now uses the arrow keys to wake her computer. Still gets locked out.

Please help me, I'm losing my mind.

EDIT

Wow, this got way more attention than I expected. Thank you very much. I'm at home right now. I'll through all your suggestions at work tomorrow.

Some clarifications:

She has a work phone. There are no personal devices on the work wifi.

I'm only a first line supporter. I don't have access to AD and I unfortunately don't know what many of your suggestions mean, such as PDC emulator or SSRS. Our second line people are very cool, though. I'll write a short list of your suggestions and send it to them.
GP said he does "not care about the whining".
Neat, thanks! I'm still pondering wether I should be using this since most of the retries I have to do are because of the LLM itself not understanding the schema asked for (eg output with missing fields / using a value not present in `Literal[]`) — certain models being especially bad with deeply nested schemas and output gibberish. Anything on your end that can help with that?

The more scarecrow is installed, the easier it gets for real security researchers to hide from these checks and detect viruses. So actually the dynamic helps security research.
I agree with the only caveat that the universe should have a maximum amount of precision it uses to calculate every next frame, and at the margin of error of these calculations, non-determinism may arise.

Looks cute on the surface, but if the program ever has to dump a core, it will eat up a fair bit of space, so RCA will be a massive pain.

I made a small experiment with 1-million int array, which has a single element written to at index 100000, and then force a core dump by writing to a dereferenced int pointer which is initialized as 0.

The resulting core file is almost 4gigabytes.

That doesn’t mean that zero research is needed to define the best syntax and implementation approach for, specifically, Go.

It just means it should have taken less time to decide on that.

Which comes back to my original point: Cox was never against generics despite the popular meme claiming he was. People’s real complaint should be the time it took to decide upon an official approach.

I get why some people are frustrated. But at the end of the day, most of the people who comment about it on HN aren’t people who do any development in Go to begin with. So it often just feels like people taking potshots to troll rather than an honest conversation about the merits of the article (eg in this instance, it has nothing to do with generics).

If you can guarantee that every gophers know the effects of the change. :D

The problem of the change is that, if you upgrade your go version in go.mod files, the behavior of the your old code might change. And the change might be not easily found in time.

I indeed haven't found any surprising cases caused by the change of "for-range".

The prerequisite of this is that such a web browser exists, which is not a given. I'd sacrifice an arm for a web browser that has non-disappearing natively themed scroll bars since due to accessibility issues I struggle with scroll wheels.

This is not a big technical ask, yet to date, the only one I've found that offers this is Falkon, which unfortunately stuck on an old version of qt's webkit port meaning a bunch of websites break with it.

However I'm wondering why we are still at that stage of the game. Animals seem like a "duh, of course" answer to me. They have a brain, a nervous system, they're so close to us that the answer should be obvious.

Now an amoeba yes, that's (to me, at least) an open discussion. LLMs and AGIs too, they're too new and unknown.

But animals? Come on, we had thousands of years to figure that out.
In one way, that sounds like more consciously present, in the other way it sounds like less. You are more here and now as you lack distracting commentary, or are you more here if you sit and ponder it?
How is it "boiling the planet"? If anything, using petroleum for some purpose other than fuel is fighting global warming, by consuming a finite supply.

Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) is a complete, open-source and free enterprise-grade server virtualization platform. PVE is based on KVM hypervisor (Type 1 hypervisor, meaning PVE runs directly on your computer hardware, interacting directly with its CPU, Memory, and Storage), and it allows you to run both full virtualizations and lightweight containers using Linux Containers (LXC) on a single platform. You can also manage software-defined storage and networking functionality, as well as high availability and disaster recovery tools with an integrated web-based user interface. PVE is used to virtualize your IT infrastructure, optimize existing resources, and increase efficiencies with minimal expense. You can easily download and install PVE on your hardware from the Proxmox official website

In this article, we are going to go through the steps required to install a Windows OS on PVE. My current version of Proxmox is 6.2-11, and I will install Windows 10, but these steps are also valid for other versions of windows on other versions of Proxmox. By the end of this exercise, you should be able to install Windows on any PVE.
If windows would have this built in, then it would make malware authors job much more difficult. I like that.
