> The incentives you create by paying for every random non-vulnerability are really bad.

So much this. It's pretty clear that most people commenting on this thread have never been involved in a bug bounty program on the company's side.

Bug bounty programs get a lot of reports, most of which are frankly useless and many of which are cases of intended behavior subjectively perceived as problematic. Sifting through that mess is a lot of work, and if you regularly pay out on unhelpful reports you end up with many more unhelpful reports.

This particular case definitely feels like one where the intended behavior is horribly broken, but there are absolutely many cases where "this is intended" is the only valid answer to a report.

>And this good standing has been converted to currency. Which is a much more isolated and cut throat version of good standing. In many ways it is more unfair. And what you don't realize as a kid is also how EXPENSIVE this "good standing" actually is. To receive the benefits of the technological state we purport to be in you usually have to be upper-class. The poor are often much closer to being completely alone. As if no society exists for them at all

I think this is a supper interesting observation, and a useful way for viewing this whole thing. At some point, people did rely on social currency and their personal memory of interactions to know if someone is "credit worthy".

I'm not sure that it was more "fair" than the hard numerical of financial currency, but I agree that social currencies could have been more forgiving. With social currency, you could go into debt with someone, and start fresh with someone new. The financial currencies, debt/assets follows people through their lives, and even across generations.

>We don't assume we are still in a period of being "left behind by the herd" because of how great everything is. But in fact, you will realize, when you see someone deny treatment for their advanced cancer due to finances and "the odds of survival" that in fact, you can be left behind by the herd. And the more

I see how that could be jarring realization. If someone thought they had an equal ownership of social wealth, and equal say over the direction of the herd, it would be devastating to learn that it was all a lie at the last minute when it actually matters. I think many people were grifted by those who told them this would be the case, by people who were stating an aspiration as fact, and hoping that enough lies would make it true. Society has a little bit of compassion, but not nearly as much as some want and act as if it does. I do think it is sad and cruel that many people were indoctrinated with this false expectation. It set them up to live their lives thinking the world is a cruel and malicious place, when it is simply indifferent.

>I, on the other hand, think that they don't go far enough. They aren't good enough. I'm actually not so sure what is being "taken for granted" in a for profit system, I pay every fucking dime of it. I am not impressed with its state.

When I say "taken for granted", I mean the little compassion the society and the herd does have, and it is not guaranteed that it stay this way. In fact, it could very easily be much worse, and there are place with no compassion or welfare. There are places even worse than that, without decent rule of law, where being dangerous means you can take what you want or buy and sell humans for their commodity value.

Thats not to say that you cant want and advocate for something better than the current state. Im not sure what you mean by you pay for every dime of it. Is your ideal system one where you dont have to compensate others for what you take?
Show HN: I made an AI based career navigator
Many people express that despite working hard, they don't feel like they are in the right career. Instead of getting adhoc advice from friends and family or requiring serendipitity/fortune in landing in a desirable career progression, I made a career planning tool which lets you upload a resume or public linkedin profile and see alternative career paths. You can play with your map, explore alternative trajectories, specify a goal, understand job titles, see job listings and more.

I am looking to understand what, if any aspect of this tool is useful, and how I would proceed to build upon this. You can either make your own map or play with an anonymous sample.

Thank You.

> I don't think the "model collapse" problem is particularly important these days.

I think you might misunderstand what model collapse is. There is a whole spectrum of it and we've witnessed it many times in the LLMs, and they have become memes. A fairly recent example is the Golden Gate Claude[0]. This is mode{,l} collapse. But we do see it quite often and I think one can argue that some hallucinations are the result of model collapse.

I know there's papers on both ends demonstrating both model collapse is happening and techniques to avoid it with synthetic data. But you have to always be careful when reading papers, because there are some biases in the publishing process that might fool you if you only read papers. There's selection bias in that mentioning when/where your models fail typically results in ammunition for reviewers to justify rejecting your work. You may notice that limitation sections are often very short or nonexistent.[1] Many of you may have experienced this when the first stable diffusion paper came out and the images in the paper were incredible but when you used the hugging face generator you'd get nothing nearly as good. Hell, try even now[2]. Can you do better than I did? Sure! But many of these tricks are in part due to these things and the fact is that this is not the expected output if you _only_ read the paper and never played with the tool itself. That there's a big difference between these.

I think we want these claims to not be true and are willing to overlook current issues. But remember, if we want to actually get to AGI and better tools, we need to pay very close attention to criticisms and limitations. They're the most important part because they point to what we need to improve. Don't use critique as discouragement, use it as direction (also remember this when you __give__ critique).

[1] The reason this happens is that there's just too many papers to review, everyone is overloaded, everything is moving very fast, there's no accountability, there's a bias in that there's a preference for rejection, and so on. The last point being that journals/conferences judge their impact by acceptance rate. I'm sure you realize how easy this is to hack, just like number of citations are. Especially when there's tons of money involved like in ML.

It's kind of endemic to html emails.

Each client chooses how it represents html and css differently. And especially for things like dark mode, they can throw out your design entirely. So you generally stick with 20 year old design practices - lots of nesting tables - safe webfonts - flat designs etc. It's really hard to do any design work without an inbox preview tool like Litmus.

One specific feature that Figma really needs is an easier way to measure distances between elements. In email, you have to build whitespace using a lot of incongruous methods (line-height, breaks, cellpadding, etc). So the Figma padding information often doesn't work, and just having a simple way to draw a line between two elements and getting a measurement would be a real help.

Dart and Flutter were actually meant to be the better design. Lots of features from those were replicated on Kotlin-Jetpack, especially Compose. And lots of those features end up being copied to Java.

Honestly, as a society we should be able to guarantee most if not all of those. Every single one of them is an economic trade-off and when you put for profit companies in the loop, it’s obvious that they will prioritize their profits.

The system is for profit by choice, it is under our control as society to guarantee that list or not, and we have chosen not to.

Throwaway, used to work at the NLU unit of Alexa about 5 years ago. There is some ML going on but as with all ML projects I have worked on people want control. This means you add rules for the "important" stuff. You also add test cases to make sure the ML works. But if you already have those test cases, why not just match on them directly? There are also advanced techniques for generating examples (FST for example).

What this culminated in is a platform where 80% of request, and pretty much 99% of "commands" are served by rules built with a team of linguists.

That might be a bit too strict. I'd still expect my private repos (no forks involved) to be private, unless we discover another footnote in GH's docs in a few years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But I'll forget about using forks except for publicly contributing to public repos.

Hi,
author (of cloudbsd.xyz) here,

The method mentioned in the link you shared is indeed interesting and probably also works with NetBSD among others, but relies on having third party controls

(such as having to select a grub entry and run the installer steps from a cloud control panel).

The reason I experimented and wrote this article was because I thought interesting to find a way to avoid having to rely on any external controls.

Thus this works even on bare metal servers and thanks to QEMU to install absolutely any OS that can boot on QEMU.
I once bought a "new" hard drive from Amazon. It was an enterprise datacenter drive with thousands of hours. Someone had scrubbed the SMART statistics, but did not wipe the drive. They deleted the partition table, but it was still chock full of data. Mostly encrypted, but there was plenty of cleartext logs including runtime statistics for the rack the drive was in.

I'm about 85% sure it was a decommissioned Backblaze drive based on the logs I could see. This was probably 10 years ago, though.

> I've used github for a long time, would not have expected these results, and was unnerved by them.

So you've used it heavily, but haven't read the docs or thought about how forks work, and are now surprised. This seems like a learning opportunity, read the docs for stuff you use heavily, read the man pages and info pages for tools you rely on.

None of this seemed surprising to me, perhaps because I've made PRs, seen that PRs from deleted repositories are still visible, and generally have this mental model of "a repository fork is part of a network of forks, which is a shared collection of git objects".

If true, would this count as the real "Twitter Files"?
yeah, i've been thinking of doing something like your memfd thing for intranin, the bubbleos kernel, which is still vaporware: transmit one or more pages from the sender to the receiver as part of the ipc, so they disappear from the sender's address space and appear in the receiver's address space. my theory is that, that way, you get the efficiency of shared memory (mostly, at least) without the security risks and debugging headaches. in a repetitive client/server kind of relationship, you can pass the same pages back and forth, so it's effectively just shared memory with exclusive locking, and it extends smoothly to zero-copy networking across hosts, at least if the network message size isn't small compared to a page (you don't want to have to zero a 4096-byte page in order to deliver it up to a user process with a 153-byte message in it)

obviously this is the opposite extreme from 'fit into the unix model without introducing anything too foreign' ;) and it may turn out that it's not as good an idea as it seems once i try it. but while some aspects of the unix model are very good, i suspect others were more meritorious on non-networked pdp-11

with respect to starting up a thread to run a callback registered for a message port, i feel like it could be done with a great deal less code than this, though maybe i'm being too optimistic about keeping messy real-world complexity out. in einkornix, which i've only tested as a user-level threading library under linux in emulation, my function for starting up such a thread is einspawn(), which is called (like door_create()) with a callback function and a userdata argument. __door_create() also takes a flags argument; einspawn() instead takes a pointer to the task struct it will finish initializing. it's ten instructions long: http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/einkornix.S

Security disclosures are like telling someone they have a spot on their face. It's not always welcome, and there's no obligation on anyone to do so, nor anyone to return the favor.

In this case, the spot turned out to be a freckle, which everyone involved already knew was a freckle (since it was documented), and if anyone owes anyone anything, it's the researcher that owes github for wasting their time.

It depends a whole, whole bunch on what exactly you do.

Custom setting with great attention to detail and an entire campaign mapped out? Every possible semi-important NPC with a biography and set of motivations and stats for every place they might go in the whole campaign?

Yeah, shitloads of work, hundreds of hours, maybe thousands.

Or you can have a basic setting and a little town with some adventure hooks, a few partially fleshed out items and NPCs, a few more randomly-generated ones for roles like “shop keeper” or “bar patron” when you don’t have anything better, crib some other setting’s gods and politics and what have you, and only fill more stuff in if the players take an interest. They really engaged with that random street juggler and are already trying to figure out how she fits into the plot? Well… she didn’t, but now she does! Time to pick a clue or hook to attach to her and put her in their path again. Only write enough runway to get through the next session, and take your writing & prep where the players go. Saves tons of time, doesn’t necessarily make for a less-satisfying game than an intricately constructed complete world (often, it’s better)

Run a decent pre-written module? Usually not much work at all, just read the whole thing once then refresh yourself on the next one part before each session. Provided you’re already comfortable with the game and setting, anyway.
The leak itself is almost surely fake. It's a very short list of well known right-wing accounts and confirmed mouthpiece accounts. You'd think a "leak" would reveal several other, as of yet unknown users, right? Not even a few internal test accounts? Some of them are even misspelled.

It would also make no sense that would need a whitelist of racial slurs if the accounts are themselves also whitelisted? Having this in a public Okta endpoint doesn't make a lick of sense either.
