I have long wanted Netflix to offer this feature. Just give me a random episode of a low stakes sitcom. Seinfeld, SVU, whatever.

My other wishlist item was that Netflix would offer a “shuffle” this series option. For standalone episodic shows, ordering does not matter, and it is a bunch of overhead to pick something.

Yes, I fat-fingered his name, didn't I. It should be: "Herbert Marcuse".

And no, I have not seen a primary source where in context Trump said that he would "" "lock up" all the "sick, evil" democrats after he is reelected"". Do you have such a primary source? Years ago I was told that Trump said the white supremacists were "very fine people", so I looked at the transcript and he literally said the opposite.
> Everybody thinks they are somehow "immune" to advertisements because they are "smarter than the rest", but the sale statistics are plain and simple.

My guess is that those people are the most susceptible to their influence. Even when you know the tricks being employed to manipulate you, it doesn't always make the manipulation less effective. It's like an optical illusion where you know what you're seeing is wrong, but you still can't stop seeing it.

It's the same with people who don't care about their privacy because "no one cares about what I do" without realizing that companies wouldn't be spending massive amounts of time and money collecting, storing, and analyzing every intimate detail of our lives that they can get their hands on if it wasn't making them money hand over fist at our expense.

Ads are not about education or product awareness. Everyone already knows what Coca-Cola is, but they still spend 4 billion a year in advertising. They wouldn't be doing that if they weren't reasonably sure that it was paying off for them. As surveillance capitalism continues to creep deeper into our lives companies are getting better and better at being able to track the success of their advertising and what they've been seeing so far hasn't caused them to scale back their efforts at manipulating us. It's just making them better at it.

The particular person pushing that notion may have been biased, in part due to a brief that society is neatly dividable into workers and the means of production. Certain classes of workers are seen as expendable by "factory owners" who demonstrate this by paint the minimum allowed wage to these classes of employees.

Show HN: SandFaux – Your sandbox and our faux data
After countless (TRULY COUNTLESS) hours of manually seeding and resetting Salesforce sandboxes for our sales demos and integration testing, we couldn’t take it anymore.

SandFaux started as an internal tool for this tedious process, but after a few customers asked for access, we decided to productize it & make it publicly available for anyone to use!

This was really just the starting point for our internal tool. We want to also add:

* Text Prompting for Scenarios

* Custom Fields

* Custom Configurations

* Dynamic Data

* More Integrations

Nitro enclaves is a lot less ambitious than this. This is a full blown microkernel. Whilst nitro Enclave is a Linux kernel with just virtio drivers enabled + a small initrd containing your Linux application. The "Trusted compute base" of nitro enclaves is larger.

Nitro enclaves also doesn't have all this high level infrastructure of composing microservices like this does

I think (but somebody smarter might correct me) that with nitro enclaves you also need to trust Amazon. Whilst with this you need to trust AMD, but don't need to trust GCP

Nice thing about nitro enclaves is that the Linux bits aren't tied to OCI. E.g. Monzo uses nix to build their enclave images https://github.com/monzo/aws-nitro-util
Very fun article. Not so much a cheat-sheet, as it is giant; but a fun presentation.

Would be great to see a callout on when certain structures are likely to be used. This is done at a high level in sections, and I think you could have special callouts in each specific structure.

Also, for the linked list visualization, I am fond of visualizations that show the same list of data between an array and a linked list but without using arrows linking boxes. Show an indexed table, such that the linked list has to have an extra column for the "next" index it references.
The general consensus is that to point out how absurd the claim is, you need to make an equally absurd counterclaim.
From what I read, the J-1 requires you to immediately leave the country upon completion of the contract. Of course, one can still apply for another VISA but it does not give you any buffer zone where you can continue to reside and work in the US in the meantime.

For this reason I heard some case where people opt to do a secondary MSc rather than do a post-doc, to get an F-1 VISA instead. Apparently the F-1 gives you three years time to get an H1-B.
You're describing social impairments, which are there too, but this is a different issue. More common with people that have very severe ADHD symptoms, moreso than ASD ones.

What causes the "ADHD as extreme follower" issue -- which I have speculatively explained as a concequence of repeated social rejection with the capacity and desire for acceptance.

This is quite different than in actual BPD where I'm not even really sure BPD people actually understand social acceptance or really want it. It's more extreme than that: there isnt a basic capacity for identity developed enough to actually have a BPD person understand that they are or are not accepted. Not least, since most BPD are actually readily accepted into most social groups over the short term. Whereas in ADHD, impulsive responses impair that acceptance over most time horizons.

Yes, that's the definition of asymptotic computational complexity. That's the whole point of these comparisons. It's pointless to compare algorithms when input size is in the single digit scale.

I did this in 1994 personally. It was fine. I am not a scientist and did not overanalyze it. It seemed obvious to me it would be fine. For whatever reason, since that one time I have never had the need to run any other toaster through the dishwasher again.

This was a super simple basic toaster. I wouldn't do it with a modern one with all the various encoders and soft buttons and microelectroncs. Not for any scientific reason, just for similar reason as I wouldn't run my phone through the dishwasher.

Show HN: I created a tool to help engineers/developers get a job more easily
Hi everyone, my name is Pedro. I’ve built a tool to help mostly tech guys such as developers and engineers on getting a job or at least secure a job interview more easily and quickly.

I started building this tool because my gf runs a recruitment/reallocation agency and was spending a lot of time tailoring each customer’s resume to match the job positions they were applying for. And it really worked! After sending a few emails and job applications, our candidates began receiving interviews invitations and job offers.

So basically this tool takes the customer’s resume and the job description of the position they want to apply for, then generates a new, tailored resume with matching keywords, so this helps the customer become one of the top candidates for that position. It’s pretty straightforward.

As a SWE, I tried to deploy this tool to prod so I could share it with others and make it public. I´d really appreciate it if you could test it out and give me some roast. Everyone gets 3 free credits upon signing up (sorry about the signup thing, but it’s a hassle to remove it).

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

I am confused how that works. If I currently reside in an EU country and apply for a job posting with FAGMAN, with location in CA, how does that work?

1. Do they heavily penalize my application for not having a VISA?
2. If I do get the job, do they give me an office in the EU until I get a VISA to go to CA?
Why would you be allowed to use illegal data? Especially if you have the means to know if it's illegal or not.

LMAO what? Those sentences are pretty equivalent.

Take a piece of string and send it around a group of people. Tell each of them to cut a bit of the string off. Each person in the group has now participated in the shortening of the string. You can, completely accurately and honestly, say both of these sentences:

"Person 1 shortened the length of the string."

"Person 1 contributed to shortening the length of the string."

These statements are not in any way in conflict. You're creating a meaningless difference then insisting that I index on that difference. I refuse to play that game.

> Something that resembles Go's managed runtime but with Rust's sum types ..... Or as another phrasing: what is actually wrong with someone saying this?

I don't think there's anything wrong per se. Although I do think it contributes to the sentiment that people may be ascribing things as being novel to Rust, even when not intended as in this case. To be fair, that's what sent me down the mental path earlier that prompted this subthread. And that's when I figured it was more a matter of being the implementation most likely to resonate with the audience.

And I don't think it's a matter of needing to give credit to other languages. But phrasing it like "Something with a managed runtime, but with sum types" is generic enough, unless there's something specific about either of those. For instance the phrasing I gave does exist in plenty of places, but perhaps "Something that resembles Go's managed runtime with sum types" perhaps does not. I don't know enough about Go to say that.

In other words, is there something specific about *Rust*'s sum types that one is after in this example? Or just the concept of sum types.
Algorithms through the lens of symbolic pattern matching
Back when iPhone jailbreaks were common, I installed a morse code keyboard, the whole keyboard had just two buttons. Dit on the left, dah on the right. My motivation for doing so was being able to type out a message with my phone in my pocket or otherwise not looking at the screen.

This looks like a much more realistic way to achieve the same goal. Interesting, if it wasn't so large I might even be tempted to try it out.

What’s the difference between fail2ban? Though I feel neither of those two works now.
I think you're right but I take a different view of it and think it's great. Python is changing so that the language you switch to when you need more performance or type safety is... Python. At some level you have to meet users where they are and large complex applications are already written in Python. And it's those kinds of developers are more invested in the future direction of the language.

I think Python's journey is very similar to Go in this regard where as the language matures and more people start using it for large applications you start having to compromise on the ease of on-boarding in favor of the users who are trying to get work done. Both Python and Go added generics around the same time.
I love this, it would be perfect for my parents. The algorithm tends to send them down weird rabbit holes and echo chambers.

I agree. I work in a similar field, and the value of AVX512 is clearly there - it just hasn't been worth implementing for the tiny percentage of market penetration. This is directly due to the market segmentation strategy Intel applied. AMD has raised the ante for AVX512 with two excellent implementations in a row, and for the first time ever I'm definitely considering building AVX512 targets.

Just as a small example from current code, the much more powerful AVX512 byte-granular two register source shuffles (vpermt2b) are very tempting for hashing/lookup table code, turning a current perf bottleneck into something that doesn't even show up in the profiler. And according to (http://www.numberworld.org/blogs/2024_8_7_zen5_avx512_teardo...) Zen5 has not one but _TWO_ of them, at a throughput quadrupling Intel's best effort..

EV/lithium fires are worse, but afair ICE vehicles are much more likely to catch fire. Not sure if eg [1] was caused by ICE or EV but that was another bad garage fire incident afaict from English sources. I really don't understand how this reaction jibes with the statistics, seems panicy to me.

According to the NTSB 3.5k/100k hybrids seem to catch fire (3.5%!!), 1.6k/100k ICE and only 25/100k EVs (0.025%) [2].

When he wrote 'arpeggiator', I was thinking this was going to go in another direction- holding down a single key that starts at a letter and then releasing the key as it reaches the letter you want. Because when I think an arpeggiator on a synthesizer, it's done via holding a key while notes repeat.

I always was very good at texting on a number-pad phone, via repeated presses- pressing (4) two times for a "H", pressing (3) two times for an "E", pressing (5) three times for an "L", etc etc. I was so used to this that I didn't even progress to using T9 texting before blackberrys and smartphones took over.

So I thought... taking that idea, and doing a press-and-hold while letters scroll by, could be pretty fast. And you could dial up the repeat rate until you started making mistakes. Map 8 keys for letters, one key for a space bar and long-press for extras, one key for backspace and long press for extras, and I think you'd be able to hit much more than 10 w.p.m. that the author winds up hitting.

Only problem: this can't be instantiated as a normal USB compliant keyboard and allow you to see the letters scrolling as you hold, without a specialty keyboard app for the phone.
When I started as a game developer making your own engine was required. In fact I was at the meetings when Epic and Id suggested to Activision use their 3D engine instead of rolling their own-- which was a new idea. (As an aside -- seeing the pre-release editor for Unreal was eye opening at that time)

The business (or hobby) has gone from depending on people having the technical skill to make a game being the most important thing to having the marketing skill to find an audience as the most important thing.
> The battery degraded because it was a battery, and the performance had to degrade along with it because of physics.

> Apple didn't decide remotely to weaken performance.

It's amazing when people just make crap up without even looking something as simple as this up. Apple lost the "batterygate" lawsuit because they specifically did slow down performance on old phone with an update.

A quote [1]: "Apple has agreed to pay up to $500 million to settle a class action lawsuit that accused the tech giant of slowing down older iPhones to encourage people to buy the latest model. Apple faced a wave of criticism -- and lawsuits -- after acknowledging in 2017 that its iOS software slowed down the performance of some older iPhones."

All the court docs [2]. Knock yourself out.

If you're going to shill, at least take a moment to google a claim before making up nonsense.
