i can't believe i'm writing a reply to a guy whose name is broken spanish for 'brando, the little fuck'. (literally. there isn't an alternative interpretation.)

brando, you've got a lot of nerve touting the superiority of secops and edrs on the day when they caused the worst it outage in history, temporarily crippling the global economy in a way worse than any infosec attack secops has ever stopped

centralizing the security of thousands and thousands of end-user devices in the hands of a small team is a recipe for disaster, even if it didn't come with continuous exfiltration of sensitive data from those devices, and that disaster has finally struck. you, by which i mean secops, have done more damage yesterday than all the attackers in history, and the nature of the disaster demonstrates that it could have been enormously worse — and will be next time. i don't care what makes your job easier. you shouldn't be doing that job at all. it's a worthless, destructive job that makes everyone less secure

this is not monday-morning quarterbacking on my part, either; i happen to have posted this comment 7 days ago (6 days before the disaster) lamenting infosec spending "going to useless or counterproductive measures like crowdstrike" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40951278
Oh hey it's been a while.

Hi, I'm qdot, founder of buttplug.io and author of Butts Are Difficult, the ethics page in the buttplug.io docs.

I also wrote the rest of the buttplug.io docs but this is the part that I'm proudest of, both because I was really happy how it turned out and also because unlike the parts of the docs involving the API, this one doesn't go out of date as quickly.

Ask me anything!
This does not appear to be widely practiced.
I'm sorry if my original comment wasn't clear enough. My original intent was not to say that it was Microsofts fault. Rather that it isn't surprising that some people with limited knowledge and/or understanding of the relevant details might blame Microsoft, and that people with an axe to grind on Microsoft would take advantage of that potential misunderstanding.

I don't expect LaTeX to be designed around a paradigm that didn't exist when LaTeX created.

Why do you think anyone expects that?

Why should anyone looking for a typesetting tool care when it was designed?

Why don't you use a Commodore64? I know it doesn't do anything you need it to do, but you have to cut it some slack, it was designed before any of the things you need to do existed!

Then why is it only Samsung that has Dex, a feature they don't even advertise, that lets you use a phone as a computer? Pixel is just getting HDMI out with 8. Every android rom can easily be bundled with code for a chromebook style desktop.

What about and IR camera as one of the 3 cameras? I don't need a telephoto camera with 5x zoom on my smartphone. IR camera is super useful to see things like pets in the dark, see hot or cold spots in the house, e.t.c

What about integrated sub ghz 2 way radios? In busy areas like concerts or areas without cell reception, the phone is next to useless.

What about better lights? I don't want to burn battery with the flash led. Simple lower power led option means I can actually use the light for extended period of time.

What about laser distance measurment? Often times I find myself measuring distance. Can't do it accurately with camera to as high resolution as you can with a laser.

What about low power wifi hotspot mode? Just run the phone in hotspot mode, without taking up battery for screen or background processes.

There are also things they can do in software. For example, old phones are next to useless. There should be no reason why I can't install a linux distro on it, have it boot directly to that, without having to jump through hoops or deal with android, and have a mini server at home.

Plenty of features left to be implemented.
I'm B2C and selling ed to students is an eye-opening experience. It's actually very easy to get people to pay, so the problem isn't conversions. The problem for me is that if you keep following the money, it's natural to become predatory because the most vulnerable need the most education. The more vulnerable, the more likely they'll buy hype. You're essentially selling to the most needy, which feels like payday loans and that sort of business. I don't have it in me to deploy the sales/marketing playbook on vulnerable audiences.

So, the advice of selling to businesses seems better, but I also hear you on selling to K-12 or higher ed as having all the negatives of enterprise sales without the lucrative upside.

So then we're left to selling ed to businesses. But I feel despite all the lip service paid to training and upskilling, corporations don't *actually* want to upskill their workforce. Or at least not at the sacrifice of productivity.

Education is very unnatural, but that's what makes it a worthwhile problem to solve, too.

I would strongly recommend the following essay, which I read in an ethics class and found extremely powerful. The essay argues that humans can relatively easily be persuaded or intimidated into helping murder other humans, as long as they are introduced to it in the “correct” way. So we should understand what that way is and be vigilant against it.

I think that’s an oversimplification. If you have a Windows system handy, look for a file named “errata.inf” [0]. It’s a giant configuration file that is full of tweaks to make dodgy hardware work reliably.

Hardware, software and firmware are all prone to mistakes, errors and corner cases that are surprising. Security issues generally live in the intersection of systems with different metaphors. Hardware is not immune from issues, and software can help reduce that impedance mismatch.

What you are proposing is more complicated than it seems. For example, the Digital Markets Act in the EU is in direct contradiction to your proposition. There is a lot of people that believe locking down devices, even in the interest of security, is anti-competitive.

Windows and MacOS are historically much less restrictive than any Mobile OS. I am confident that if Microsoft and Apple attempted to be more restrictive, in the interest of security, it would invite further discussion of anti-competitive behavior and subsequently antitrust. In addition, if those restrictions were damaging to a company worth >75B (CrowdStrike).

I too wish it were different, but the cat is out of the bag.

SOC 2 and other similar certifications are just bare minimum checklists. More often than not, they distract teams by making them chase unimportant things just to say they’re certified. If you have been through the process this is very obvious. I’ll also note the SOC standards come from an accounting organization not a technical one.
I agree with your negative version of the point:

>> if you don't accept a countries values, you should not be allowed to move there

But in the positive version, I think in America it is much easier to integrate if you do accept American values than it is in some European countries. And this is because, as you alluded, the only thing that makes America a unified country is a social agreement to certain shared values like rule of law, property rights, freedom to conduct business, freedom of religion, and more recently civil rights. Whereas those ideals are only recently tacked on to (most) European nations, and are not core to their identity; one can accept all those values and still never become German, for instance. Even France where many of those values originated has an ethnic nationalist core which denies integration to those who are not ethnically French. So what I mean is, accepting values in Europe is a start, but it is not enough.

And what we see in ghettoized cultures around the world, from African Americans to Algerians in France, is that the ghetto creates its own logic of rejecting the norms of the society which has rejected it. Welfare is not a substitute for a path toward individual success and acceptance in society; this is perhaps Europe's greatest mistake. On welfare, in the suburbs, who will believe and not mock the supposed values of equality and fraternity? It becomes a generational problem.
Most people are against border hooping illegal immigrant not legal immigrants. There’s a huge difference. For some reason the internet puts them in the same camp.
There's a reason I'd linked the NYC "pestilence" chart.

The first broad-spectrum antibiotic, penicillin, wasn't discovered until 1928, wasn't administered medically until 1930, and then still experimentally, and wasn't mass produced until near or after the end of WWII, with 2.3 million doses available the invasion of Normandy (Spring 1944) and nearly 650 billion units by June 1945). General availability to the US public didn't occur until 15 March 1945.

Yet if we look at the NYC mortality graph, mortality falls tremendously during the latter part of the 19th century and attains the level it sustained through most of the 20th century by 1920, well before penicillin was even first isolated, let alone applied broadly. If you compare against the date of penicillin general availability, mortality actually rises until about 1970, after which there is a plateau, followed by a comparatively sharp decline (though minor in context with the 1850--1920 decrease) after 1990.

Antibiotics are invisible on that chart.

How is "being on the latest patch" (security definitions), not part of the security architecture? No where am I implying that it is the only part of security.

Also you are still ignoring, that for many of these companies they have not have a choice due to compliance requirements.

That being said, so great maybe we can avoid this issue. But instead maybe next time instead it will be. "Well, you run security software X and when you were breached they had a protection out for this, why were you not up to date?"

The fact remains that what happened yesterday was an extraordinary situation that I highly doubt anyone seriously thought it was a serious risk. Since most people would safely assume that a vendor pushing security updates would do basic testing.

Also you are focusing on security when there are other dependencies that could bring down your system. That is my point here. We are focusing so much on how this one thing should have been done differently and that the companies are somehow to blame when this could have been any number of other things that would not have been as global of an impact but could still bring down major systems.
Ask HN: What's the right tool for this job?
I support a group of researchers in medical imaging and I have the following use case:

A researcher needs to run a data pipeline on several dozen subjects, each with ~5GB of data. When I say pipeline I mean the data will first pass through one executable, then another, then maybe a 3rd. Basically there's a DAG for processing but this isn't the important part.

Obviously I can't just run them all at once, they'll eat up RAM and gum up everything. I could do something with Python multiprocess and spin up 5-10 workers and have them slowly chew through the workload, but now we get into a second use case:

A second researcher comes along and wants to run a different data pipeline on a different set of several dozen subjects!

I would want to add their tasks to the queue.

I've looked at SLURM but it looks really complicated to set up. We can set all this up to run on a large workstation with lots of RAM, i.e. a single large node is fine for the volume of requests we expect to receive, I'm just not sure how to manage all the jobs. I'm tempted to write my own code reserve RAM and CPU cores and just have all jobs sleep on that check until it passes, but I feel like there's got to be something out there that fills this niche without me having to write everything from scratch.

I've also looked at snakemake, and we will probably use it for the DAG portion, and it can "reserve" resources, but only for a single run. When the second researcher comes in with her dataset there's no way to tell snakemake about this.

I hope this is an appropriate forum to ask this, and I appreciate any insight you fine folks might provide.
The first mistake when approaching immigration is to take all the different types of immigration and even non-immigration and lower the level of detail to simply "immigration". This means:

1. refugees
2. legal immigrants
3. non-immigrants magic beam of
3.1. temporary workers ──infinite──> "iMMiGraNTs"
3.2. tourists irrationality and "mIGrAntS"
4. students
5. illegal immigrants
6. stateless
7. prisoners of war
8. etc

If you want to fix a problem you need to divide it into subproblems and solve each problem, not mix everything together and make a larger problem harder to solve.

Mixing everything together is obfuscating the problem which is the modus operandi of those who want to prevent the solution of the problem as they have an incentive to keep the problem around.

Politicians like keeping immigration a problem because it gives them a way to divide people into groups and rewarding those groups depending on their political needs, making you easier to rule. Which is what they do for everything else. In their case, you are the problem to solve, not the actual problem they so passionately talk about. And when you get angry you play right into their villain claws.

The brain gain/drain dynamics between countries is real. Brain gain is what you definitely want as a country.
Yes, definitely. This is the reason the summary box is telling you to eat glue - that’s what the top search results say, and the LLM dutifully summarizes.

Google has fucked up search so badly it is fucking up their AI ambitions. Very karmic.

It’s probably basically google-bombing for the modern era underneath. But the point is that search is now so broken that it can be pretty trivially google-bombed in 2024, at the exact moment the world needs it for RAG.
GDP/Capita isn't median income (it should roughly correspond to mean income); many of the higher GDP/capita are also higher inequality and so lower median is quite possible.
I’ve been happy with it for around 8 years. It only gets better.
I have the same sentiment about TeX. The fact that the language has been stable for over 30 years is incredibly important to me. I also feel like I can do anything in TeX: I have written a C compiler in TeX as an academic exercise so I cannot take complaints about TeX's macros seriously.
I’m not sure I follow entirely, but an explicit operator bool will only auto-convert in contexts where it makes sense, and not e.g. in arithemtic expressions.

Most of these built-in fridges have some (non-obvious) method to remove them from the wall fairly easily. Typically, built in fridges are mounted using a couple screws (check the manual) to the underside of the top cabinetry, and are simply slid into their slot.

This may be useful information in case you decide you feel like cleaning the condenser fan, which may help the fridge work better and more efficiently.

I have heard that your project has one of the fastest bluetooth libraries in the industry, its so good DOD devs have tried to have the namespaces renamed or something to that effect.
Best: Funny enough, it's for a (set of) device(s) that constantly causes me issues, the OSR-2/SR-6/SSR-1.

Here's a background video I did on the hardware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFcrNk33_io

It's DIY, 3d-printed hardware that's incredibly extensible, and has a decently designed abstract communication protocol that I've ended up pointing other DIY creators at. Keeping up with everything the hardware can do while also trying to make it work with our generalized commands is a challenge, but it's a good challenge, because we don't see a ton of innovation from the large commercial manufacturers.

Least enjoy: We support over 500 devices now, so this is just a whole classes of devices at this point heh. There's a lot of hardware we support that's just not very good to begin with, and users can't tell whether it's our library or the hardware hardware that sucks. Then there's the hardware that makes very... odd decisions about how to do things. For instance, there was a brand known as MuSE or Lovespouse that's been popular for the past couple of years. Instead of creating a bluetooth connection to the device, the device acts as a host and listens for advertisements w/ specialized data in order to set vibrator power. Not only is this easily hackable (there was a bunch of articles about someone doing exactly that with a flipper zero last year), it's damn near impossible for us to implement cross platform support for, as advertisement creation in BLE is wildly different across platforms, and doesn't even exist on iOS (the company themselves only shipped on android, where buttplug works on win/mac/linux/android/iOS). On top of that, the Lovespouse devices were extremely cheap ($10-30US sometimes), so we had users buying them then asking if we supported them, and all we could say was "nope".
Illegal immigrants have been working small restaurants, ethnic supermarkets etc. since time immemorial, law enforcement has turned a blind eye is all. Now with the rise of gig economy, there are tons of jobs where you never even see your employer, so it’s even easier: there are citizens/permanent residents/others with work permits renting out their gig accounts like Uber Eats to illegals.
Here is the potential evil interpretation of a biased Supreme Court:

The constitutional ineligibility granted by the 22nd Amendment applies only to becoming President by an election. It doesn't apply to becoming President by non-elected means, such as if the Vice President steps down. As such, the applicability of the constitutional eligibility as referred to in the 12th Amendment is subject to interpretation.

I am not saying it's right, only that it is sufficient for a biased Supreme Court to exploit it.

> Your argument seems to be that a larger population leads to lower wages

It's not just because of a larger population, it's also because illegal immigrants are often desperate, often willing to accept a much lower standard of living than locals, and therefore often willing to work for very low wages (sometimes illegally low)

Thus creating an under-class of workers who keep wages from ever going up to where they should be

So, in addition to the losses figures from before, there was a major mutiny, with a 1mln city (Rostov-on-Don) captured for a day, with 7 units of aircraft downed. And recently the Russian ministry of interior released figures that cases of organized crime have risen by 76% compared to a period before 2022 [_], because that's what happens when you take a bunch of convicts - some of which were convicted for life - and give them all a "get out of jail" card for 6 months of running with a gun.

You are claiming this is actually beneficial for the Russian Federation because all of that is outweighed by experiments in tactics, correct?

Brain drain to the US helps the US, yes. The key word there is the brain. What doesn't help is taking in unskilled and manual laborers; that only creates downward pressure on wages and upward pressure on housing prices and other scarce resources, even before we get to any correlation with crime.

Countries with a highly successful immigration system, notably Canada, do it by being highly merit-based, for education and professional skills. The US hasn't put together any significant plan for that. Trump briefly tried proposing merit-based immigration in his first term, but it was quickly shot down with all the usual accusations of discrimination and so on. The US kinda unofficially does it via H1-B and O-1 visas, though that's only for employment and mostly not for permanent residence.
