No they are not. You need to mandate domestic network devices or introduce some silly standard to fly under the radar.

Reminds me of the accidental Wikipedia dive into the "Volkswagen engine" universe I once had: apparently the design lives on in a multitude of engines in the ultralight market, for dune buggies and the like. Bootstrapped by aftermarket parts for repurposed original engines, but then complete engines appeared making use of those aftermarket parts and now it's an interoperability standard long after repurposing original engines has stopped being a thing. Distributed Theseus.
It doesn't sound like the approaches are incompatible. You can use minhash LSH to search a large set and get a top-k list for any individual, then use a weighted average with penalty rules to decide which of those qualifies as a dupe or not. Weighted minhash can also be used to efficiently add repeats to give some additional weighting.
Browspilot is a neat tool built by Peter and his team to help you find anything you've seen online with just a clue or by scrolling through your past activity. It's super handy for pulling up frequently used pages or digging up old stuff without keeping a bunch of tabs open.

Whether you're a student or a busy professional, just type in a bit of what you remember, and it’s there. Plus, exciting features are on the way, like searching across different apps and finding things based on meaning with advanced tech.

Overall, Browspilot makes finding online content a breeze!
Totally not my field of expertise, but maybe some like “an attacker knows all usernames, and can therefore try an attack where they attempt to log into all of the accounts in parallel with the TOTP ‘000000’” yields a high enough chance of hitting one or more accounts that happen to have this TOTP at this very moment?

Not burnt out, but extremely careful with marketing on AI, because this one bad actor, sama, with his series of incidents, could bring down the whole industry down as in the first AI winter. Which did cost me a very good job then.

It's good technology still, but the hype is doing more harm than good and it looks very fragile. I recommended to concentrate on different marketing terms like vision, chatbot, etc.
A source would be nice but speaking from my own experience I do this. mainly so I can switch between tabs to see the "selections" I've made. It make intuitive sense to me at least regardless of the source.
Ask HN: Unexpected Lessons from Building a Startup?
I'm fascinated by the countless stories and lessons learned by those who've ventured into building their own startups. Whether it's a surprising insight about your market, a technical challenge that led to an innovative solution, or an unexpected twist in your journey, I'd love to hear about it.

What was the most unexpected thing you learned while building your startup? How did it change your approach or perspective?

Share your stories, big or small—sometimes the most unexpected lessons are the ones that stick with us the most!
I love having different devices for different things.

Macbook pro for coding and designing in figma and light gaming, web browsing

iPad mini for reading, travelling, sketching with apple pencil.

iPhone for doing phone things.

Sure I buy 3 devices (4 if you count apple watch) but they last several years and have decent resale value.
statistically more likely to find it misused does not seem to match up with almost everyone misuses, although I guess you could argue there was some sort of law that once a tool moves beyond only expert usage to ubiquitous usage all non expert users added in ubiquitous phase will misuse tool therefore making it seem that it is the tool's fault.

I would argue however this is not the case for well-designed tools, and then people who are not experts can become experts with such and not misuse, keeping the percentage of misuse of a well-designed tool at an even level as usage increase.

The percentage of misuse rising at a rate nearly equal to its usage rate indicates a poorly designed tool / that something is lacking.
This was never serious. Technical writing e.g. in textbooks in the 1950s explain that a nuclear-power car is 'not within the bounds of reality'.

How so? Even the most feature complete software is in need of regular maintenance to assure compatability with new versions of dependencies and OS. Such maintenance would appear to have stagnated since 2022, looking at the commit history.

EaData & EaFile remind me of the murky memories of OS/2 APIs.

HPFS had a different approach of internally handling EAs, but OS/2 did create extra file on FAT16 filesystems to store EAs, which could point to origin of $EA. (HPFS itself has special EA-handling implemented in its FNODE, equivalent of inode/FILE entry)

I do not recall the EA actually being used anywhere by new code though, quite shocked by the mention of WSL. Old POSIX subsystem originated before ADSes I think, and might have decided to avoid creating more data types.

My quip about difference of Linux/Irix xattr is related to architectural design involved in the APIs - Irix style xattr API (copied by Linux) is rather explicitly designed for short attributes - do not know if it's still current but I recall something about API itself limiting it to single page per attribute? Come to think of it, that would match certain aspects of Direct IO that AFAIK were also imported from Irix...

Oh, and BTW - NTFS internal structures being accessible as "normal" files is one of the design decisions inherited from Files-11 on VMS, one I quite like from architecture cleanliness pov at the very least.
Ask HN: How do you deal with the anxiety?
I was an introverted person who minded my business but time passed and things changed. I knew to achieve something better I had to talk better and take the initiative.

So I started interacting on social platforms and started cold mailing and reaching out to people. I am now comfortable with having a chat but when it's a face call (even if it's casual) I always have that feeling in my chest which I only hope you understand and no matter how many times I have done this, I never get used to it.

I would like to know how you dealt/are dealing with it.

I would like to be the one to break the ice.

Thanks in Advance.

To be fair, in the wikipedia article they talk about the radiation hazard being minimal and not part of the design - at mach 3 any exposure to the reactor is so brief it doesn't really do damage.

Of course, it going mach 3 at 1000 feet or lower, is going to knock your toupee right off.
Well, those are slightly separate concepts I think. I went to a "Realschule", and those still exist. It's a school form that ends after grade 10, where the majority of students moves on into an apprenticeship, to work in either some kind of trade/craft, or low to mid-level white collar work. OTOH, "Gymnasium" is the common path towards A levels and then university. It is, however, also pretty common to go on to do your A levels and then study after Realschule like I did (at a computer science focused "technical high school" (!) for grades 11-13, yet another eccentric thing we have, but I'm a fan).

For what it's worth, I do think our society has a comparatively high appreciation for these apprenticeship type jobs. There can be pretty good money in it, often more agency, and a lot of them are obviously needed - far more obviously than most jobs folks study for. Maybe I live in a bubble, but I feel that's appreciated here.

All of that technical (!) stuff aside, the word "fachlich" is, from my perspective, mainly used to describe white collar knowledge or skills. I don't think I've heard it in the context of baking, plumbing etc, and I'd say it has a positive connotation, hinting at education and experience. But I'm neither a linguist nor a statistically relevant sample of Germany, so YMMV.
Those are some large back pockets. I'm thankful that my preferred model of jeans has pockets deep enough for an iPhone 14 Pro.
Sounds like a keeper. I don't see what could possibly go wrong with deploying these at scale everywhere.
My heart sinks every time a "non-technical" manager has opinions on technical matters and makes decisions based not on the case presented by the technical team but on made up stories told by other managers, architects, and consultants. I spent a decade fighting with those types to deliver good work and do the right thing, but they have worn me out so I switched to pure dev work. At this point I am undecided as to whether a non-technical manager is worse than a "slightly technical"() one.

At least he does have remote jobs percentage on the same plot. But this is always the problem with plots. They always show what the author wants to show, not necessarily what the reader wants to see. I've often dreamed of a document format that embeds the data and allows the user to easily select the plot themselves. In this case you'd at least be able to toggle between stacked and side by side, but you might even prefer different bins or a different plot entirely.
> It is doubtful yet another smaller-yet-nimbler fusion project would deliver what ITER promises.

True, but reality rarely lives up to promises. How much fusion did ITER deliver?

https://www.livescience.com/physics-mathematics/worlds-large...

Those giant projects are a class of its own and truly deliver results in many aspects beside the main objective. How much money did the LHC make? How is commercial space flight doing? How many commercial fusion reactors have been ordered based on ITER? Those are research projects that require a huge investment to get anything done in that field and as such it's clear that you have to do that necessary investment to get anything done. I'm not even criticizing big costly iterations if smaller iteration cycles are not possible.

That sounds like an excellent feature. Especially for phishing and other scammers who need bulletproof hosting.
Changing the name changes nothing. The distinction will remain useful and people will invent a new word.

If what we currently call technical skills is unfairly overvalued - the evaluation needs to change, not the name.

Similarly you don't fix racism by replacing one word with another. That's just magic thinking.

BTW I think technical skills in IT are overvalued, mostly because of outdated perception of rarity. And over time the hordes of people pivoting to IT and the improving generative AI will change that.

I doubt those Russian assassinations were ever meant to be undetectable. Rather they were intentional spectacles, where there's no doubt in who was behind it. The goal is to make it obvious, but also deny it officially, while knowing that everybody knows they're lying, just to mock their opponents.
I believe this has come up before but what are some of the differences between RTIC and Embassy?
I agree with most of the article. There's a part of the world that makes a distinction between "technical" and "creative" which bothers me even more.

Putting yourself or someone else in a bucket of "technical" or "non-technical" creates a subconscious barrier to expanding your skills beyond your label while also giving you an excuse, and others the same low expectations.

It is also a gray area I feel. Is writing efficient code a technical skill, while keeping maintainable or readable a soft skill? The difference seems similar to me.

I might be totally off here, but having a distinction has always felt weird to me.
I imagine it would be even more shocking when noticed, but possibly easier to go unnoticed - since visually, morphing is continuous in dreams, but word meanings are discrete and can't morph into one another like that.

Btw. funny (and fascinating) how "dream-rendering" has similar issues with producing realistic hands as LLMs. Similar with continuity issues.

A running Ford Model T likely costs absurd amounts of money to maintain because everything about it is likely custom, especially when something breaks.
Some companies underpaying part of their staff for the same job doesn't make it moral. In some cases, it tends to correlate with genetics which makes it even more questionable. A black box algorithm may unknowingly introduce such bias.

Anyway what is moral depends on your personal values, not the law nor how things are done, it's expected to disagree.
This is what people _always_ forget.

Just like the new iPhone coming out this year isn't for the people who upgrade every year. It'll feel like a "spec bump".

BUT it's for the people whose phone is dropping out of support after 5-7 years of major version upgrades. For them it's a massive leap of performance and features. Just imagine jumping from an iPhone XR to an iPhone 16?

Same with the Vision Pro. Apple finally releases a Pro device that's just for Pro(sumer)s and people complain it's too expensive.

It's the first version, they see what 3rd party devs can and want to do with it and release a new one. There's a rumoured patent about headphones with an external camera for hand tracking, which is a clear evolution of the one in the Vision Pro.

5. Go to 1.

Hey great question, I don't have my startup but I have worked at one as an intern and it changed my way of thinking.

Working in small teams and with less formalities can often lead to more productivity. When people work on it as their own products, it gets more interesting.

People are working hard out there and you'll understand only when you work with them. The people I worked with were from Google and AWS so I had the chance to see how they managed everyone. It went very smoothly and it felt like home.

I have decided to work on my own thing too now. Let's see how it goes.
Get Curate Pro shows This page doesn't exist
I used to work with someone who thought of themselves as a technical manager, because in his years after college he managed a couple of devs who mage Flash games. Then, by some skilled office politics and association with non-technical blow-hards he managed to become a manager on a complex greenfield project where he was managing a team of 30+ and had to work within an organisation of 150+ people who thought he was the person to answer technical questions. He mismanaged the team causing a lot of people to suffer mental issues and leave. Every time there was a technical question he'd pick the most idiotic solution you could think of. There was no way of fixing this problem, because the management above him were even more clueless. I have no respect for non-technical managers.
You can swing your own pendulum any time you want, there are very few services (email being one IMO) that aren't worth self-hosting.

When a coder asks another coder whether a boss is technical, it just means “can they code?”. There’s not much more to it. You may not like this, but it’s how the word is used, and language is defined by usage. I don’t like that y’all use the word “crypto” for get rich quick schemes either, but I suck it up, the ship has sailed.

This whole hair splitting about the real meaning of the word “technical” adds little. Yes, people who are good at what they do, whatever it is, are good at it and thus have technical skills. This doesn’t change anything about what the coder means when they ask if the boss is technical. We all know what they mean. They mean “can they code?”

Sure, you're saying some people shouldn't DIY.

Where I live many people DIY as a great many people have mad skills (lots of FiFo workers making a good living from O&G installions and big mining projects).

They build their own houses, their own planes, off grid power systems, water proof EV's to drive across harbour floors, etc.

It's definitely not a thing to chase.

If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.

There are many more things you can do that will be enjoyable to you.

Going through a Physics undergrad makes you do things you otherwise won't do. Those things, done over 3-4 years for some thousands hours transform you in no small way.

While you are doing this, you are reading Feynman, and it hits you on a completely different way. You also begin to read between the lines, and you start to apply those kinds of tools to other areas of Physics that aren’t explicitly mentioned in the Lectures.

But it's not something that you need to chase and they are neither unique set of things available only in the Lectures and nowhere else.

Just do something or read something where you are better suited to get 'returns'.

Unless you're RMS level weird orgs use "soft skills" as cover in the same vein as "bad culture fit" for likeability, politik and empire building.

That said, imo the "technical skills are required less the more responsibility you get" mindset is the root of much dysfunction in tech companies... it's how we ended up suffering the car assembly line cargo cult in an industry where ~10 engineers can make Whatsapp ($$$$) when not laden with ceremony and theater.
correct. I've always used and heard other people use this word with this meaning.
Using statistics? In our moment of triumph?

I think you underestimate these histograms.
Seems like the author just doesn't understand what people mean when they talk about a manager being technical or not. I don't think anyone means "this person has no depth of knowledge about anything". We just mean "they don't know programming", more or less.

Lots of words making a point nobody contested.
My primary domain is functional programming and effect systems (effect/zio/rio) related, all of those communities have plenty (even too many) gathering places that are one google search away or the related libraries (for me would be effect-ts, typescript and some other microsoft tooling) have official discords linked on GitHub or docs.

Another good source of work are local meetups/communities chats.
