It uses real time face recognition to give a very accurate presence indicator, so you never risk calling people when they’re not actually in front of the camera, it crops your face tightly with AI so you don’t have worry about what you are wearing or your surroundings before accepting or making a call, and it uses an AI video codec that boost eye contact and facial expressions even over low bandwidth and long haul connections. When the call is over it creates a transcript that is easy to share with others, and that others can use as a base for follow up calls or discussions, thus reducing the need for everybody to be in every call to stay on the same page.

I will even add that cargo already provides local dependency isolation without external tools, like Poetry for python.

In my experience, a docker-compose to setup required services like a database or a rabbitmq broker is much more useful. Mandatory containers for dev end up locking the project in them, making the environment hard to change

(list (second list)

Everything else aside it seems like a nice finger exercise for learning Zig.

Great, so still within one second. Not seeing how that's doing anything detrimental to the trackers. Even when walking through a store, 50 tracks per second is really accurate.

Redbox had a lot going against it timing wise. Movies as a format were dying, consumers switching to streaming, pandemic reducing traffic, and the shitty deals they made to delay new releases and consumers going away from disc players in general.

What really killed it was the attempt to do a streaming service. That was a suicidal desperation move that killed Redbox 5-10 year’s early. They could have limped on for quite a bit longer without that.

You assume I was talking about the node OS, but I was talking about the container.
That seems to imply that they singlehandedly (or fivehandedly) exhausted the promising pool and kept it dry since! But that's not the case, right? So whatever they did - while definitely important at the margin does not completely change the bulk of the market.

We can look at their employment numbers, they did not hire millions of people, yet there are millions of capable juniors globally eager to jump head-first into software development.

Bootcamps closed because hiring slowed down. (Because ZIRP ended, everyone doubted that the Fed can do a soft landing, and on top of that the certified bubble of AI-mania meant that companies increased spending on buzzword driven development, and ... on top of all this increasing cloud costs and slowing growth meant that no one felt the need to hire juniors.)

Oh, and of course due to the amazing tech demos where this or that LLM created a site/game in React in a few minutes, or even issued a PR, the meme of end of coding led to a pretty significant belief about the end of juniors.
This makes a lot of sense to me. In software development, it's standard to have a testing environment, rather than rolling new code out directly to prod. ("Prod" in this case would be VA hospitals serving real patients.)
Only if you redefine privacy. I don't want any of my information being leaked.

It is plausible for example that you could form a statistical cohort around people that work in an organization and determine that they have become interested in a topic that reveals internal plans.

Even as an individual, I can only see more accurate modeling of my interests as a tool to be used against me. I do not consent to sharing those correlations. They are private.
I said ideally your dev and production environment should be the same. That should have been a hint I was talking about container.

Finding good sources for something like this is fairly hard, but actually /b/ was the very first board 4chan ever had.[1]

Though, actually, the explanation I gave still doesn't add up, because actually, I don't think Futaba Channel ever had an "Anime / Random" board. Whether there was already a similar nomenclature from another contemporary imageboard like world2ch is unclear this far away in time, but either way, even though an /a/ board didn't exist, presumably moot already "reserved" /a/ for a normal anime board, whether it was inspired by another imageboard or what. It's not too clear since there were a lot of potential choices and /b/ is a strange one in the grand scheme of things, and I don't think moot ever really explained it too well.

> git push directly to the repository, in a separate branch namespace. This is how e.g. Gerrit works (pushing to a special ref makes a review, which is essentially the same as a pull request).

What's the material difference? They build special mechanisms to provide access control for sub namespaces, which sound a lot like "forks".

Also i have no clue on their backend (iirc this info is researchable tho), but i wouldn't be surprised if functionally that is exactly how they do it anyway. It's all content addressed, i doubt they pay 2x the storage anytime you fork a repo right?
Using the word idiots reveals GP's level of thinking. Gift cards are a less useful gift than cash. The first principals reasoning would say the more useful gift is worth more than three less useful gift but this is human psychology we're talking about so first principal reasoning isn't enough.

Gifts are about having thought about somebody, and cash is the equivalent of saying I couldn't be bothered. Hence, gift cards. I thought about you for half a second longer and gave you money to spend at a store off my choosing. Under that framing, calling people idiots because they give gift cards indicates an inability to grasp or accept that cultural norm.

So, it makes it easy when someone telegraphs their mental shortcomings to you.

Any new feature requires something that currently doesn't exist in the compiler. Just because the change would be larger doesn't make it worse, or at least this can't be the only argument.

And if you do implement interface-based iteration with an Iterator interface, it's not hard to also add a ClosableIterator interface and have the loop handle the auto-close as well.

It's a step in the right direction, being able to squeeze all the perf out of these devices to run proper full-fledged OS' that Apple seems to not want to do. It's okay to get excited over stuff like this and I'd bet a lot of good shit that solves your real world problems started from hobbyist adventures (see this little project called Linux).
But then when you find an unmaintained project and want to find out if it has a maintained fork, you have to browse through hundreds of forks that were created just to submit one patch.

To be fair the transaction is supposedly something like “old person has added value all their life and now receives some return on investment” but in reality the past (along with other elements of their personhood) typically just disappears once someone loses agency, unless they have a committed and devoted advocate.

Even illness or injury are enough to dehumanize someone, since they make it harder to self-advocate and the system isn’t built to advocate for you — in fact it’s often incentivized to advocate adversarially against you!
What has that to do with my comment at all?

I’m talking about all economic systems, including the USSR, China, US, European markets, etc.

Fundamentally, for an economy to exist it connects those who produce/have with those who consume/want, mediated by some exchange of value (though in command economies that last part can be remarkably performative).

And fundamentally, if there is no connection to people’s actual needs, and no clearing of old/non-competitive ways to meet those needs there is going to be a very, very bad time. Eventually.

Checking for blowup sort of works; for example, this paper [1] suggests exactly this approach. However, I'm not leaning to it due to the following reasons:

1. The approach involves magic numbers to implement heuristics. They worked for the samples provided by the authors, but will they work for large programs?

2. I think that there's a smarter approach to detect blowups. Specifically, there can be "good" and "bad" interactions in the form `f(g(...), ...)`, where `f` and `g` are functions; an interaction is good if `g` produces information that is known at compile-time (to be subsequently deconstructed by `f`), and bad if it doesn't. If the interaction is bad, `f` and `g` should be transformed separately.

In general, I see manual annotations as a low-level mechanism that can be used for predictable supercompilation. We haven't yet implemented heuristics that would guarantee predictability, but this is on our priority list.

> Are there any other notable differences between this approach and call-by-value constructors?

Yes, lazy constructors must be implemented differently than eager ones. The standard approach is to enclose constructor arguments under an environment of values, just as we implement closure functions. I don't think that supercompilation can remove all laziness from the constructors.

[1] Jonsson, Peter & Nordlander, Johan. (2011). Taming code explosion in supercompilation. PERM'11 - Proceedings of the 20th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation. 33-42. 10.1145/1929501.1929507.
I still don't understand this perspective, other than slippery slope povs ('what if the Nazis take over?').

My bank knows everywhere I go (if I spend money). The main mobile phone companies know everywhere I go (in real time, and who with [if they have a phone]). Shops and supermarkets track you around the building by Bluetooth, et cetera.

So, what's the problem if the police get access to this data to solve heinous crimes. I'm not talking the RIP Act (UK, regulatory investigation powers) - which lets a ridiculously broad swathe of people see, eg your internet history - but major crimes ... why not?

To answer your question, as long as the parties had a sound moral basis, supported individual rights, then it wouldn't alter my voting intention. I guess I'm happy to limit the liberty to commit serious crimes.

Probably not what the GP meant, but an interesting data point:

CGP Grey is a Youtuber who became well known for deeply-researched videos on subjects of nerdy interest.

Many years after going full-time doing this, he encountered Zettelkasten and realized that "taking notes" is supposed to including paraphrasing, write things in your own words, and making connections to other facts you've found. (Cortex podcast #105)

He thought notes were just the transcription version of using a highlighter in a book: exclusively verbatim quotes, just to save you from rereading the whole book. Synthesizing knowledge was a separate process. He'd carried this belief his whole life — educational Youtuber, high school physics teacher, two college degrees.

He attributes this in part to being raised on standardized testing, where memorizing the teacher's sound bites was how you succeeded.

Taking notes feels so basic that we just assume everyone knows how, and that we ourselves are doing it effectively. I mean, it's just taking notes, how hard is it? But really it's a growable skill where technique matters, and you can plateau very low if no one tells you you're doing it badly.
It depends on the vuln and the need. For example, an XSS won’t net you very much, unless the buyer already has a browser RCE but needs a way to deliver it to a target they know uses a particular service or browser, and for that they may need an XSS.

Still won’t net you as much as an RCE, but they do get bought sometimes.

I sell and run commercial electrical work and I can think of maybe a handful of places I’ve sent electricians that have a single phase service. I live in a large metro area of 4M people, virtually every commercial building over 4-5k sq ft has a three-phase service where I live. Banks, fast food restaurants, gas stations, etc.

What sorts of commercial projects have you worked on that don’t have three phase electrical that are located on commercial or industrial zoned property? Virtually every single multitenant office or light commercial building I’ve ever been in has three-phase.

I guess you could count Jeff’s welding shop in his pole building on his residential property a business, but it’s not commercially zoned property.

I’m skeptical about your claim, I’d wager that more commercial/industrial zoned properties have three-phase than not, based on what I’ve seen across hundreds of customers.

Then again, there’s a lot of small business commercial stuff I ignore because I’m at a union shop and we can’t compete with a one man electrical van when it comes to wiring up a 1500 sq ft nail salon or whatever, there’s no money in that market anyways.
This is probably the worst advice on Rust project organisation I've ever read.

I absolutely loathe opening up a Rust project that adheres to zero defaults and uses makefiles where cargo would completely suffice. Unless you have a mixed codebase cargo will work just fine. Also that multiple Cargo.toml shenanigangs is much better solved with multiple projects and git dependencies, given that a projects of that size will have different teams anyways, and if it doesn't have different teams then you don't need anything but an easy to maintain and debug monolith.
I’ve been preaching this message for many years now. For example, since password generators basically make keys that can’t be remembered, this has led to the advent of password managers, all protected by a single password, so your single point of failure is now just ONE password, the consequences of which would be that an attacker would have access to all of your passwords.

The n-tries lockout rule is much more effective anyway, as it breaks the brute-force attack vector in most cases. I am not a cybersecurity expert, so perhaps there are cases where high-complexity, long passwords may make a difference.

Not to mention MFA makes most of this moot anyway.
Ask HN: Need a better analogy than sniping at goatherders
DNS / Indicator of Compromise / domain owner colleagues I'd appreciate your help / advice: I need an uncomfortable analogy to an uncomfortable reality nobody wants to talk about.

You may know I've been writing a series of articles which I've been calling "Letters to Dubai" because of the friend who inspired me to write about this set of topics. (http://consulting.m3047.net/dubai-letters/)

I plan to write one about NOD (Newly Observed DNS Domains) on a technical / tactical / theoretical level, but events occurring around me are telling me I need to write two prequels: 1) the industrial complex which preruns your domain and 2) targeting places by targeting people.

See, it's that second one. An uncomfortable topic. It is what's happening though: indicator of compromise vendors target infrastructure and they should know (unless they're incompetent liars, which some of them are) who operates that infrastructure. But that word "operates" suffers from category confusion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_mistake): I operate a server, but I do not Operate the infrastructure which ultimately connects that server to the internet.

In the cases I'm seeing it's that infrastructure Operator who should be targeted at proportionate scale, but what they're doing instead is sniping at goatherders who went to get water from the well the same as they'd always done before the Operator moved in.

Who's got a better analogy? Happy to credit the analogy or analogies I use.
