Yes, but there is significantly more of it happening, optically, on the west coast than anywhere else in the United States. What is San Diego's unofficial name? "The Home of the Homeless". Before you flame, I spent years touring the United States, living and photographing homeless people and communities. West Coasters should really stop getting defensive and take action, if it actually matters to you all. All that wealth... So greedily spent... All those people... laying in the streets... strung out on cra..."KFC"! Had to tie it back to avoid the rule crazies. ;)
What's the difference between desires and goals in this context really? You could say he is worried about a reasoning machine "relentlessly programmed" to achieve some goal, but a reasoning machine might just reason itself out of everything you've told it to do. Something so creative, so capable, so beyond us, yet it's going to...assassinate other people for you? Why?

When something goes from being a computer program to a self-aware, conscious being with agency, things change a lot.

Hinton is a major paradox of a human, he has spent his life building the very thing he says will likely doom us, and now spends his life warning us against his own work? So much of this AI doomerism just seems like a "chinese finger trap" for the ultra logical thinker.

It's a fucking weird time to be alive. The 90s felt much less weird and dystopian to me.
Terraform is better than the world of sh scripts that stopped working if you looked at the wrong and can't really test. True, it brings in new problems, but what used to take 3 hours to write and then 7 hours to do a smoke test of and then another week to apply across one on-prem DC with a team of five, can now actually be tested with Terratest, you can run it against 100 different AWS accounts/regions/whatever, and be done deploying in a couple of hours. Of course, you didn't have 100 AWS accounts before there was AWS, but that kind of isolation is required to operate these days (under certain conditions).

That's as far as how I read "now you do it in YAML", anyway, because you're right, we did just trade 3 hours of sh scripting for 3 hours of fighting with spaces across three yaml files.

The problem that is fixed is that of the deployment of dev environments. Instead of each individual developer at BigCo having to set up their laptop juuuuust right, BigCoITDept spins this up, pre configured, and the developer can be shuttled off to the code mines faster.

The fact that we can say that a phone ONLY has any "x" optical zoom is crazy.
I would hardly roll that up to all Americans though. Of course companies who's business model is seriously hurt by GDPR would complain.

Most Americans wouldn't even know what GDPR is, let alone have a reason to complain about it.

It was Windows Phone, not Windows Mobile. Windows Mobile long worked on resistive touchscreens and had a piece of the cake there. Apple iPhone (with Google Android following up) was innovative with regards to capacitive touchscreen. Which is much more user friendly when using the input device always with you: your fingertips, as opposed to a stylus. It also allowed for bigger interface and more appropriate font size, helping all those 40+ aged people.

Back then (Ballmer era) I still didn't trust Microsoft at all. Or: I trusted Google and Apple too much. I'd much rather have seen Sailfish succeed. Especially as I used the predecessors in '00s (Nokia N810, N900). N9 was a great direction but Elop and Ballmer killed it off. But sabotage, it is more a chicken egg problem of network effect. Cause, many devs tried.

I still believe Windows Phone had a clean UI with those limited default colors.

> Star Trek is "What if Communism but it wasn't influenced by human nature

On the contrary, the very premise of Star Trek is "what if humans overcome the bad parts of their nature, and embraced the good ones". The core concept of the entire franchise, coming from Gene himself, is that humanity must be recognizably human to the audience, just better than what it is now. The Federation being fully automated communist space utopia is an extension of that.

Do you hear yourself? Do you think that's any kind of cogent defense? You and I both know that you're carrying water for a corrupt government. The only question is your motivation.

Sorry if I sound harsh.
I think ads should not be allowed for anything at all in the digital world, including TV. In a world without ads, products would be known due to reputation. Ads are an assault on the limited resource of attention.

People say how can new products reach people, but the solution to that problem isn't ads but platforms/websites that catalog new products and allow for easy discovery.

Ads actually make the problem of finding new products worse because you only see a fraction of new products if you consume ads, primarily those from companies that already have lots of money to invest into ads.
I think the trick with dereferencing unmapped memory is cool, but I only really care about techniques that work reliably and I can use in production.

You can set the buffering mode of any file stream with setvbuf.
For example, setvbuf(stderr, NULL, _IOLBF, BUFSIZ) sets stderr to line buffered I/O.
We're well into Maxwell's Demon thought experiment-grade territory here. An ASI that dooms the human race is absolutely the same sort of intellectual faffing about that Maxwell proposed in 1867 with his though experiment, though it wasn't refered to as a demon until later, by Lord Kelvin, in 1874. It wouldn't be until the early 1970's that the Unix daemon would come about.

It's hard to put faith in a project that's partially AI-generated and doesn't disclose it.

That picture of the laptop is the most blatant part. Is that just one contributor phoning it in for the landing page, or does that culture run deeper through the Ladybird project?
I think it makes sense as a default to avoid issues discerning timing due to a buffer.

These days I plug the article into https://kulli.sh which aggregates all the comments across HN, Lemmy, Lobsters, Reddit etc. into a single feed which I can quickly filter by source, discussions or order reverse chronologically.

When I've had enough of a particular comment thread or source, I click/tap to minimize it and continue with the next one.

I like having all the comments on an article in one place, not just for the convenience factor, but also because it gives me regular glimpses outside of my bubble and shows me how different communities, including ones I don't necessarily agree with, are discussing the same topics.
I'm not logging in with Google to anything. Please classic any-email or no-email (like here on HN) registration only (and don't forget to allow changing usernames and emails).

We used to call it just that - ML rather then AI. It was a more appropriate name since sorting pictures is typically not much of "intelligence".
"Controller and processor
Data controllers must clearly disclose any data collection, declare the lawful basis and purpose for data processing, and state how long data is being retained and if it is being shared with any third parties or outside of the EEA."

I don't see the word "personal" in this sentence, only "any data collection". It's clearly not in the users' interest/benefit to activate this data collection, and not required for the normal functioning of the browser/websites. So activating this silently is minimum _very unethical_ and probably illegal, but I'm not a lawyer.
Show HN: Easiest way to add personalization to your project
Spinosis is a UX personalization tool - increase conversion rates with user behavior based dynamic personalization

Here's how it works:

- You post interactions to our API w/ user identifier (like email or phone number). Example: user@example.com clicked red button.
- And you get personalized JSON data and add conditions to your project (if it returns 0, do that...)

Pricing: You pay as we achieve success. $0.5 for every conversion raised by us + 2% of the order amount if we can get sales. (We will get this metrics by doing dynamic A/B testing).

Please lmk if you have any feedback & questions! Ferhat

To be clear, it’s not dereferencing unmapped memory, I just haven’t shown how it’s being mapped, because it’s a little complex. As I note in the post, you can imagine as if I mmap all the necessary addresses at the start of the program.
Am I crazy here? We run all of our app logs and error logs through LogStash and just have a few filters in there to normalize stuff like the timestamp. Honestly the only peace of data that absolutely HAS to be standardized because that’s the piece of data that splits our log indexes, is the primary sorting mechanism, and at what point we roll up an index into some aggregates and then compress and send it to cold storage.
To be fair, AT&T, Equifax, United Health, and Peraton are probably as far away from startup culture as it gets.

ez rule of thumb: Can you count it directly? If not, it doesn't get pluralized. Water, code, hardware, etc. The units of measure get pluralized, though: liters of water, pieces of hardware, pages of software

Of course it is more complicated than this and it can be broken for effect ("still waters")
stderr having line buffering turned off by default is intentional. You want to see the output immediately and not have it stuck in a buffer that might be lost if the program crashes or freezes.
It was snowflake’s lack of security that did this not ATT. Not saying ATT is a paragon of security or anything but snowflake was where the hack took place.
I’m also implementing it in Zig right now (and haven’t done any project other than small snippets in zig before) and it’s fine.

Crypto weakening the hold the state over citizens? WTF kind of paint thinners are you smoking?

Who are the main stakeholders in crypto?

- A consolidated pool of few miners (some of whcih are state owned because they are the only ones who own the electricity plants)
- Russia, North Korea, China, the mafia?
- A consolidated set of finance individuals who have a perverse incentive to take advantage of lax financial regulations
- A series of exchanges run by proven scum
- the largest owner what being the FBI and the US government?
- A series of undemocratically elected scum who openly print fake money from Bermuda (Tether?)

A type of currency where people can lose their savings on a dime, have openly no protections and ridiculous levels of fees whilst simultaneously destroying the planet.

For the people my arse, the people involved should be lychned given how 90% of it just supports slavery, drug trade, war and crime.
Not at all! People are increasing _consuming_ tech, not _understanding_ it.
Yes, the sound of drones is very hard to tolerate.

Well that's a clever slight of hand. The virus didn't kill 6 million birds, the humans tasked with culling flocks did.
I built a Chrome extension to tame the ChatGPT chaos
Hey HN,
So, I've got a confession to make. I'm a ChatGPT addict. I mean, who isn't these days, right? But here's the thing - I kept losing track of all my chats. You know that feeling when you KNOW you had an amazing conversation about something, but can't find it for the life of you? Yeah, that was me. All. The. Time.
I got fed up and thought, "There's gotta be a better way." So, I rolled up my sleeves and built a Chrome extension. I call it GPT Power Manager (super creative, I know).
Here's what it does:

Lets you slap tags on your chats (#coding, #shower-thoughts, you name it)
Pins the important stuff so it's always there
Color-codes convos (because pretty colors make everything better)
Has folders to group your chats (bye-bye, endless scrolling of doom)

The cool part? It doesn't mess with ChatGPT's interface. It just... works.
Building this thing taught me a few things:

We're all drowning in AI-generated info. It's not just me. Phew.
Little tweaks can save you HOURS of time.
Making Chrome extensions is... an adventure. (Happy to swap war stories if anyone's interested)

Anyway, it's out there now on the Chrome Web Store. I'd love it if you guys could take it for a spin. Tell me what sucks, what's missing, or what's actually useful. I'm all ears!
Sounds like a great aggregator but the poor site is getting slammed
I know it's not a fair comparison but I'm truly impressed by the quality of engineering shown by the Lichess team, when their main competitor was for example boasting about a migration to GCP and yet suffering from repeated outages due to fairly organic growth in popularity. While I believe they employ 100x more people.

Lichess' mobile app was a weak spot, however the v2 rewrite in Flutter is already pretty good while still in beta.

And keep in mind Thibault pays himself less than 60k/year.
Consumers vote with their wallets and will virtually always take a free product with ads over anything else, so taking a dogmatic stance against ads is just going to be financial suicide. Ad blockers simply live on borrowed time until they're banned or made unusable. In which case if a competitor springs up, at some point they need money, which means they'll need to serve ads. Like say Brave, which blocks ads and then ... serves you their own ads.

The original web is irrelevant because it didn't sustain large economies. It's like comparing radio hobbyists to the central TV station, the economics change when you have to actually pay employees and serve a mass market.
A mouse with a scroll wheel and all the comments fully expanded on one page and a high-resolution monitor showing lots of lines of text at once.

The page-down button is a distant second. I find using a laptop without a scroll-wheel mouse mildly displeasing. A laptop with a screen that can show a quarter of the amount of text that my desktop PC can do is infuriating.

"Ingredients: Monosodium Glutamate, White and Black Pepper, Fine Flake Salt, Sage, Coriander, and other natural spices"

So if the first listed ingredient represents the most abundant ingredient...

Also, such a cop out that the FDA has allowed "other natural spices" to be a legit listing. Supposedly to protect corporate secrets blah blah. What if someone is allergic to one of those "natural spices". Either we're for accurate food labeling for the public's safety, or we're not. This in between state highly suggests we're not.
That's what i ended up doing after i wrote the post. I was reading every parent comment as something different on the same topic and when i finished or wasn't interesting to me i minimized it the [-] button.
There are many ways to loose control of your company without selling it upfront.

For example if you take money from an minority investor with the promise of an IPO (so they can make profit from their minority share).

After the company goes public, control is much more iffy. You may for example not have your place in the board anymore even though you are majority owner.
> She has deeply held beliefs and keeps cherry picking until the data supports them.

That’s a big claim, but it’s presented without evidence. Do you have any examples?

On that note:

> I'm not sure the data supports crypto spending more than other industries in lobbying

What data are you using to support this belief? Do you have additional data that she left out? That would be a good way to support the allegation of cherry-picking.

The attack vector was an exposed Snowflake instance.

Snowflake's entire business model is based on selling the idea of "data lakes", "data warehouses", etc...

The basic premise of data lakes, etc, is to replicate and dump all your company data into easily queryable database instances, like Snowflake. I'm not disagreeing that this is a stupid thing to do, but just pointing out that this is something basically every Fortune 500 company is doing. Because big data is cool. (Or was cool)

Specifically since the article called out no 2fa... I'm actually very surprised how difficult 2fa is to set up with Snowflake. It's been 2-3 years since I set up a Snowflake instance, but I remember there being no obvious or easy way to enable it. (I wanted it on, but at the time enabling it was a multi-hour task, not just a setting to enable)
Along the same lines, I also find it useful to have a text log for each sizeable task I undertake. This could contain anything, notes of module structure, code & data snippets for testing, everything!

Like one of the top comments mentions, it acts as a node of knowledge within a wider system (graph) and I end up revisiting these logs more often than you would expect! It only gets better as you explore/document more and edges form.

Perhaps. HN also has stories of random software libraries and deep discussions of those. Whenever a mismanaged business in other sectors is discussed its only about that business, not the entire sector that business operates in. Whenever a devastating hack occurs directly on an end user, its a discussion of the browser and tools that can be improved to thwart it.

Crypto sector has many libraries that power it too with extremely active discussions in other tech forums, and thats totally missing from HN in favor of discussion of random mismanaged businesses and phishing attacks as representative of the entire concept of crypto. When that’s further from reality, as the tooling has improved a lot and is constantly evolving. There are many best practices that are actively discussed and worked on, elsewhere.

While the crowd on HN peculiarly acts completely segregated from that with a blissful ignorance filled with glee over frauds in the crypto sector, an extremely strange and impossibly different standard then how everything else is discussed.
