> The Zoom desktop clients have had RCE vulnerabilities where hackers were able to remotely execute arbitrary code on victims computers with zero user input required from the victims

There have been RCE vulnerabilities in browsers too. Do you have an example of a Zoom RCE vulnerability that wasn't fixed? The example you gave was one where Zoom was proactively publicizing their own work to recruit researchers to find vulnerabilities so they could be fixed before they caused actual issues - and Zoom fixed the issue, you're using Zoom's good behavior in security testing their app against them.

> Do you yell out your bank account number and routing number in public because you think the user experience of finding a private place to talk is too burdensome? Because that's metaphorically what you're arguing for.

No it's not, I wouldn't transmit my bank account number and routing number or similarly sensitive information over Zoom.

> This is absolutely a false dichotomy. The choice isn't between sending data and not sending data, the choice is between sending data in the browser vs sending the same data within a desktop application.

The choice is in fact between sending data and not sending data. I've given you one example (the limited number of simultaneous streams) where you're opting not to send data. You're just pretending that use case is invalid. There are other examples I could give, but they require more explanation and you seem determined to dismiss any examples I give.
What problem are we trying to solve? Why do we think there is a problem? If the idea behind the system was to give people a financial incentive to innovate, and since the system has been put in place humans have been exponentially more innovative than they were before, why do we think it needs fixing?

Nothing seems reasonable to me on the topic unless it comes with evidence as to how it would improve a system that would appear by any objective measure to be doing incredibly well.

And what does any of it have to do with ticket master? They’re awful in a lot of ways, but I’m not aware of patent trolling to be one of them. If they even have and enforce patents, I’ve not heard of them, and I work in live events so I’m fairly well-informed on that company. Everyone in the industry hates them, it's unlikely they’re doing anything awful that isn’t routinely mentioned.

If I could afford to pay for a reasonably priced Ai laundry & delivery service I would surely do it. If it was done by a robot that also cooked basic meals and cleaned my house, that would be invaluable to not just me, but many. A company that ran that service properly and reliably would likely be very successful. That would likely free many of the people in maid and janitorial jobs to work within the companies that run those services as inspectors and managers instead of in the field... This is how the model works, not just by simply saying that category of work isn't profitable...

A work hammer (the tool) doesn't profit, but the company that makes and sells it en mass (Like Stanley inc. or Craftsman) does.

We don't want "low frame rates". A lower frame rate is not the goal.

If films were commonly shot and released at 120FPS, then we'd see videophiles clamoring to get the hardware in-place in their homes to support that framerate.

But we're not there. Films are 24FPS. That's what the content is. That's what the filmmakers worked with for the entirety of filming, editing, post, and distribution processes.

And the process of generating an extra 96 frames every second to fill in the gaps of the actual content is simply not always very good. Sometimes, it's even pretty awful.

It seems obvious to say, but artificially multiplying a framerate by a factor of 5 inside of a TV frequently has issues.

This article is really just a gloss on Kaplan's book (which I have read so it stands out) with a bit of gratuitous randomness thrown in.

Much as I have a rather low-level atavistic desire to credit India with the zero/nil, as there was so much exchange between mesopotamia and the early indus regions (just look at the idea of the alphabet going one way and then digits going the other), the sumerian "origins" are quite likely. More importantly, the vedic tradition didn't give rise to the formalisms developed by the later Greeks and, centuries later, their Islamic students. Thus for a long time, scholarly dissertations from the subcontinent on mathematics, philosophy etc tended to essays and explorations of conjectures, which makes pinning responsibility hard to do, the way you can, say, "Wiles did prove Fermat's Last Theorem".

Personally I find invention requires so much history and intertwined communication that the idea of "inventor" is kind of bogus anyway.

BTW in case this sounds like I'm dissing ancient indian scholars: you see this in the early days of any scientific field: early neuroscience in the early 20th century, the same with cognitive science in the mid 50s-70s (at least) etc. In fact most of contemporary ML just has a light layer of formalism painted on too. It feels like fields need names, but only really get them when they have attained some early level of abstraction and emerging rigor.

Sorry, that moved on beyond zero!

Very good design in my opinion. True value is either scalar or a list/map/set/vector/record etc if complicated return value is required.

The majority of the banking industry is built on Cobol. Open Banking is the only real path forward. The issue of the US vs EU open-banking is the number of community banks.

The, unfortunate, most reliable banks from a technology/data perspective are ones that are large enough to be loathsome to deal with. Think JP Morgan, BoA.

Even banks of that size, Comerica, have had massive ledgering issues recently, so they are not immune.

Some reputable players in the BaaS industry are Unit, JP Morgan, Jack Henry, Moov(Massive plug for them), VGS (works with Visa and MC btw). If your neo-bank works with them, I would trust my money there. I do trust my money with one of those partners.

> an API allowing the querying of a lot of information about all the open tabs (if open, for example, your banking website)

No. It uses the chrome.system.cpu API, that any extension can access, which gives CPU and RAM utilization info about your tabs. It doesn't give anyone "a lot of information about all the open tabs", and does nothing to expose your banking website...

> It takes a certain audacity to put yourself out there. It takes a certain sociopathy, a certain arrogance.

I am sorry but you are taking things far too seriously. People have always had to "put themselves out there", it's part of living in a society rather than as a hermit. If you don't pull your weight in a tribe, others, not just you, may literally die, every hand counts. Others expect you do that, justifiably. Being judged is always going to be part of living in a society. But that's a good thing, not a bad thing! Learn to take criticism well. Some word someone said shouldn't affect you so strongly. Perhaps that was said by a 13 year old that doesn't know any better. Or by someone suffering from serious mental illness who finds some solace in trying to get other people on the internet disturbed.

Being judged as stupid is of course very harsh, but it's also not wrong sometimes. Do some people behave stupidly sometimes?? Of course they do, we all do. That doesn't make us bad people, and we shouldn't despair because we believe we have been categorized as stupid: we should definitely consider whether it's a fair assessment given the circumstances, and try to do better next time. Very smart people can, and do, behave stupidly, specially when talking about religion or politics. Even smart people can say the most stupid things. I think no one is very smart or very stupid in every context, there's always a context where you'd look totally stupid even if you're Albert Einstein. Imagine Mr. Einstein trying to hunt in a jungle in Africa. Even with practice, he'd probably never get good at it. His very way of thinking, very scientific and evidence driven, what we consider intelligent, would get him eaten in no time over there. What count there is being fast thinking, acting on instinct... that's how you survive there, and that's what you would count as "smart" if you lived there.

Anyway, hope some of what I say here helps someone :).
The skeleton test-generating-docs example I built to exhibit the framework actually does this. Here's an example:

https://github.com/hitchdev/hitchstory/blob/master/examples/...

It records a video while running the test and then at the end runs it through FFMPEG to make a smaller, slowed down GIF that can be embedded in the autogenerated docs.

It's quite rudimentary though. I've been meaning to try making something more sophisticated and even potentially do additional automated video editing to inject text from the steps or something.
That's great!

What Are Your Thoughts on AI-Powered Interviews?
Hey HN,

I've been working on a project that leverages AI to conduct interviews for technical roles, and I'm curious about the community's thoughts on this. The idea is to create a system that can handle initial screening interviews, assess technical and soft skills, and provide comprehensive feedback to hiring managers.

Here are a few features we're considering:

- Real-time, conversational AI that can engage with candidates just like a human interviewer.
- Customizable interview templates that can adapt to different job roles and requirements.
- Integration with existing ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) to streamline the hiring process.
- Detailed reports and analytics to help hiring managers make informed decisions.

We're also thinking about how to ensure the AI doesn't deviate from the topic, maintains a conversational tone, and provides a comfortable experience for candidates.

I would love to hear your thoughts on:

- The potential benefits and drawbacks of using AI for interviews.
- What features you think would be essential for such a tool.
- Any experiences you've had with AI or automated interview tools.
- How you would approach integrating this into a company's existing hiring process.

I’m sure this will restore his good name.
I care about LEM because I'm not very happy with the computational content of LEM. I know it can be interpreted as "proceed according to $not-A$; if you find a contradiction by building an $A$, wind back the universe and proceed with the resulting proof of $A$", but this feels unsettling to me. Ex-falso has trivial computational content, and we use it all the time: it's `panic!()`.

(I agree that there are formulations which don't require LEM, but it's important to be precise, especially when writing to dismiss a common misconception among people who haven't got the concepts crisply in their minds. "Is this quantity computable?" is very close in spirit to "can I compute the value of this quantity?", and LEM is exactly the kind of axiom which shows the difference.)
> I can read a 7-seg display from clear across a factory floor from almost any angle in the dark.

Ironically, this is true at lower power/brightness than higher. A few gas stations near me got newer super-bright displays and you can no longer make them out at a distance.
The EU system clearly takes this into account, beginning with an alarm and only later reducing engine power. Unless you're overtaking a dozen vehicles you're probably OK.

OK, it won't help you escape the bad guys chasing you but they'll probably have the limiter too.
*dynamically generated!

Otherwise you could probably fingerprint ad spots and submit them into a shared database. Like musicbrainz. For dynamic blocking of static content. Acoustic ID is probably enough and it would work with podcasts too!

I hate ads so much, I would totally volunteer to make this my hobby.

> My town has very limited financial resources

Small town = less demand for public spaces. And I propose the money to pay for this comes from the state if needed.

> You're welcome to compete with all the other demands for one-off library space with all the other uses.

Uh ok? I will, better to have a space for free every couple months than to have to give up my meetup. I don't see how an additional space for meetings should worsen things?

> If you're really averse to corporate sponsorship and really want to have some specific meetup, paying for it personally seems a pretty reasonable option.

This is clearly not about myself, it's about investing socially in enabling an exchange of ideas, even when no private patron sees fit to sponsor it.

You must be one of those "don't tread on me" types. You've been clutching at straws for a few comments while failing to find any argument. I believe the reality is that you don't like "your" tax money to benefit others, but saying that would make you look bad wouldn't it?

I propose your tax money pays for it, together with mine.
> I don't know how you arrive at this conclusion.

I am well aware of this fact because I've researched the topic and I can state it without any degree if uncertainty. The only and resources there are scattered loose notes and presentations in conferences such as Timur Doulmer's work for C++ On Sea, and even so he's clear on how his work is mainly focused on real-time audio processing, which has different requirements than say HFT.

I've never bothered to install a theme for it, but https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/luci/luci.themes they do exist. There's really no good reason they couldn't.
I did a drive test about two weeks or so ago with two new cars, 2023 models. They beeped every time the speed was about, I think, more than 10kph more than the TSR system read. At first I had no idea why the car was beeping for no reason.

So I had to find a place to stop, go into car settings - which annoyingly enough are disabled while the car is not in Park, and disable features until I found the TSR option, disabled it, car stopped beeping.

I have a couple of issues with this:
- my current car has TSR and I use it to remember what the speed limit was on a road segment. Quite handy if you miss the speed limit change sign. As a workaround I could use Waze/Google Maps with CarPlay to tell me what the speed limit is, but it is an extra hoop I have to jump through
- beeping is annoying, but it only beeps for a second or two, so I guess with time you just tune it out
- reducing the speed to match the posted speed limit is beyond madness. Most roads haven't had signs changed in decades when cars would brake in a longer distance, no ABS or any other electronic assistance systems were available. Any car from the past 20 years or so can drive safely at greater speeds and stop in a very short distance.
- not all signs are properly recognized, like no overtake zones and so on. Not to mention cases where the overtake zone finishes there are no signs indicating that. Same goes for lane keeping assist where temporary markings make the car wobble because it confuses the system and thinks you're driving between the lanes.
It boggles me how there's no federal shield law to protect journalists from this.
Yes, having just gone through this i was surprised to find that cancer of almost all kinds is rapidly becoming more manageable. Prognosis is quite good for most people and most cancers when caught early enough.

It is still an artform though and procedures that lead to a long healthy life in a majority of patients still cause deaths in some others.
Awesome. Serves as a counter-example - would HN consider literacy to be damaging to the mind, or are we similarly mistaken by thinking that LLMs necessarily degrade the abilities of their users?

Pre-writing 'texts' (such as the Iliad) were memorized by poets, which is reflected in their forms which made more use of memory-friendly forms like rhyming, consistent meter, and close repetition.

Writing allowed greater complexity and more complex/information dense literary forms.

I feel that intelligent, critical LLM usage is just writing with less laboriousnes, which opens up the writer's ability to explore ideas more widely rather than spend their time on the technical aspects of knowledge production.
The Whothese don't even exist. Yeaman doesn't even exist. The names themselves are farcical giveaways. It's all pure Maersk/uniparty/state department propaganda. They've played us for absolute fools for so long they've gotten lazy/cocky with the writing.
Yeah. tbh we are lucky on the Apple side that itunes existed and had a backup facility (Presumably because WAN speeds were so slow for many people in 2007). You can bet if the iOS platform were created today, local backup would have never been a thing there either. "Just trust the cloud!"
Additionally there are cancer risks with modifying this process. Sounds similar to the telomere conundrum
