You likely already know that, but to anyone else interested: a good way to prevent these kinds of situations is to run 'nosey parker' on your git repo before pushing it to a remote. It will dig through your code and configs, looking at files and through all the git history, and highlight anything that looks like tokens, passwords, keys, etc. You can set it as a pre-commit hook to block the offending code from even being committed.

As a corollary, the current chip manufacturing war seems a bit overblown as well. Faster chips for what exactly? Do the current nanometer generations really make all that much a difference when it comes to drones or missiles?
how do we know youre not the AI persona
This is a stupid arguement. I wish author understood an ounce of how LLMs works.
Of course, they know more than whay they say. That's because LLMs are nothing but probabistic structures. They mix and match and provide probabilistic approach. Therefore, they are always making a choice between multiple options.

I wish there was a global mandatory course before these substacky authors write for fame.
I share a similar experience and have recently completed the game on the iPhone.

> I'm more inclined to believe it's Chase-specific now, or at least more likely with Chase, esp. based on other anecdotes in this thread!

The only reason anecdotes in this thread are about Chase is that Chase is the bank you mentioned in your article. If you had mentioned any other of the big banks I am sure you would get similar anecdotes. All of the big banks work basically the same way. For example, as I commented in another response upthread, they probably all have similar "we can screw your business any time we like and there's nothing you can do about it" language in their terms of service.

> my experience with Chase is by far the worst I've personally experienced.

Have any of your experiences with other big banks been small business accounts? If not, that's an obvious reason for your Chase experience to be worse.
I think I can be more clear. When you refer to what something looks like you are referring to the way we perceive things, which is with electromagnetic waves. In a very real sense, with respect to that, (that is, with respect to the electromagnetic field), solid objects really aren't "full of empty space," they are chock full of electromagnetic fields. Like the idea of "empty" is actually just sort of not a great way of thinking about small stuff. In fact, if we want to operationalize our notion of full or empty, we'd probably end up back at our intuitive notion of the idea.

For example. We might say that a helium atom is "mostly empty space" because if we measured the position of one of the electrons it would tend to be far away from the other one (maybe the right way to think of this is to look at the spread of coherent position states). But, in fact, around a helium atom the electrons interact pretty strongly (enough to distort their wave functions substantially) so in that sense the region around a helium atom is significantly less empty than the space around the sun between (say) mercury and venus, which have very little effect on one another. What I am getting at is that all this idea of "atoms are mostly empty space" gets at is that our definition of "empty space" is pretty vague. Vague enough to do some silly word gymnastics.
Show HN: Omi – Open-source AI wearable for capturing conversations
Hi, HN! I built a proactive open-source AI necklace that transforms your conversations into summaries, proactive feedback, and insights

I built this because I want to use it myself: many companies are advertising such technology but no one is shipping

The app can work with or without wearables so you can try the experience without buying anything

Update: wasn't expecting this post to get attention, so please let me know if I need any special tags like Show HN
I wish Meta also created something similar to xreal glasses or even better: some modular RayBan smart glasses that can be transformed into xreal with addon.
My preferred option would be to have an optional billing cap that I can enable knowing full well that if it is exceeded the service would be terminated (obviously with notifications as that cap is approached). I could then apply this to simple hobby projects and such, while not having the risk of termination apply to more serious applications (though a 'soft cap' would be nice here so that I could still receive notifications as it approaches).
> not the parent, but I'm curious what you place the odds at. It's a 50/50 coin toss from where I'm standing, and your bet should include you losing if those screenshots are sent one-shot "by mistake" or because of some random minor update. Given the Microsoft related shit-show that happened last month

Depends a lot on the criteria that torginus and I agree on (if we do). I believe the given scenario itself, Microsoft issuing an update that breaks their guarantee by exfiltrating your snapshots for training their LLMs/etc., is very unlikely. But torginus may argue it's something Microsoft are likely to do in secret and successfully lie about such that lack of admission/evidence is not sufficient to determine it hasn't happened, so the criteria may need to be something weaker about Microsoft having made changes that make it in theory possible for them to be secretly training LLMs on the snapshots (e.g: setting them to store unencrypted in OneDrive).

> I'm curious if you yourself would view the event as a big deal if your data had been sent or if you would simply take the "life is short, who gives a shit?" scenic route.

I think training generative AI on private data would be a huge violation and a big deal. There's the chance of exact regurgitation (bank account details, passwords, API keys), but even without that it's pretty much inherently teaching the model things it should not know and would now be able to talk about.

> If you read the article, you would see that the earliest release date for standard Windows versions is planned for early 2025, so you're even kinda baiting the parent from a position of cowardice -- a good faith opening bet would suggest Feb 2026 for the date at the least:)

Not entirely sure what you mean - the date I proposed (2026-08-23) is a full two years from now. Even from the launch of Windows Recall on non-Copilot+ PCs, if that's what we're measuring from, it should give more than "a year or so".
This is all I can read. Does the paper imply
that any exercise is bad?

“ Lactate helps cancer cells resist chemotherapy
The molecule lactate is a waste product of the metabolism of sugar without oxygen — a metabolic pathway preferentially used by cancer cells to generate their energy. Metabolomics analysis reveals that lactate in tumour cells promotes resistance to chemotherapy, and sheds light on the molecular mechanism that underlies this unexpected role of lactate in cancer”
I'm pleased with this tool. I couldn't find any other simple cli tool that just reads and writes to WebSockets. Maybe just websocketd: https://github.com/joewalnes/websocketd

I've used websocat for debugging web projects and remote-controlling OBS.

I also have a livereload script that looks something like:

mkfifo $pipe
websocat --server-mode $port 0< $pipe 2> /dev/null &
while sleep 1; do :; done > $pipe &

and a browser userscript like:

// @match localhost

let ws = new WebSocket(`ws://localhost:${port}`)
ws.onmessage = () => location.reload()

so during development I can reload the browser when files change:

find . | entr -s 'echo ping > $pipe'

I've used this script for livereloading PDFs and Markdown previews, not just typical web dev. It's a bit ugly around the edges, but I like how customizable and portable it is between projects and browsers.

I've never used websocat for advanced features, but I'm sure it's quite capable.
In regards to VR, I think Valve could really move the hole situation by building/providing SteamLink VR on AVP, as they do on Meta Quest. Buy any Bluetooth (VR) Controller and enjoy games streamed.

And maybe in some future I will be able to stream from Linux hosts via SteamLink.
Each OS process has its own virtual address space, which is why one process cannot read another's memory. The CPU implements these address spaces in hardware, since literally every memory read or write needs to have its address translated from virtual to physical.

The CPU's address translation process relies on tables that the OS sets up. For instance, one table entry might say that the 4K memory chunk with virtual address 0x21000-0x21fff maps to physical address 0xf56e3000, and is both executable and read-only. So yes, the OS sets up the tables, but the hardware implements the protection.

Since memory protection is a hardware feature, the hardware needs to decide how fine-grained the pages are. It's possible to build a CPU with byte-level protection, but this would be crazy-inefficient. Bigger pages mean less translation work, but they can also create more wasted space. Sizes in the 4K-64K range seem to offer good tradeoffs for everyday workloads.
The main reason why this is completely irrelevant to me is that there's no Android app. Honestly, I don't even know what's the point of having a note taking app that doesn't have an Android version. On the PC you can just use vim. The whole point is having the same representation and conventions on PC and on the phone.

So, yeah, like everyone else I'm still using Obsidian. I hate it, Obsidian is poison and shouldn't be used, because it's completely ridiculous to trust a non open source app with your personal notes, and in my world there's no reason whatsoever for a non open source note taking app to even exist, because it should be pretty trivial thing after all. But unfortunately I am guilty of doing this ridiculous thing myself, because Obsidian has:

- an Android app, that is virtually identical to the PC one

- good search capabilities

- obsidian-flavoured markdown, which is the only kind of markdown that really has all necessary markup for making personal notes, including mathjax, simple graphs and callouts

- daily notes

Honestly, I don't even need anything else, as most plugins actually hurt productivity and are a kind of vendor lock-in anyway, while the whole point of storing data in markdown is simplicity and timelessness of your media. But however simple it's supposed to be, I don't know of any other app so far that would completely clone obsidian in this regard. And, honestly, that's exactly what I want: a perfect open-source clone of obsidian, an exact copy.
No I messed up somewhere. I remember I did have 3 regedits at one time (in this part of the decrapify list). The count was right so I didn't pay attention.

Looks like it's time to audit the lists.
That isn't what 'political', or 'political activity', means, though.

Publishing a paper, or citing it, doesn't confer the status to change the definition of words.
Oh you have no idea how badly this is going to go over time.

I watched a presentation by some psychology researchers last year where they were presenting their paper for applications of LLM technology in early-therapy diagnostics. They were literally throwing patients at it. I showed one of the enthusiastic followers, a high ranking PhD in the field, how easy it was to get it to give me suicide advice and she was absolutely horrified and totally unaware of the possibility this could happen.

All these things were missing in the associated paper of course. Gotta keep those grants flowing.
I'm extremely skeptical of that claim. Got any examples you think would stump us?
> It's only a transitive dependency of sshd on Linux distributions that patch OpenSSH to include libsystemd which depends on xz.

Ah, ok. Then my question should really be about the distros--did any of them spot the co-maintainer being added and do due diligence?

As for the "libsystemd" part, there's another reason for me to migrate to non-systemd distros.

What? Any pointers on how 1G speeds things up? I'd have taken a bigger page size to wreak havoc on process scheduling and filesystem.
Writes on NAND happen at the block, not the page level, though. I believe the ratio between the two is usually something like 1:8 or so.

Even blocks might still be larger than 4KB, but if they’re not, presumably a NAND controller could allow such smaller writes to avoid write amplification?

The mapping between physical and logical block address is complex anyway because of wear leveling and bad block management, so I don’t think there’s a need for write granularity to be the erase block/page or even write block size.
ZIP codes are used as a weak "something you know" factor in payment card processing.

The card is (for card-present transactions) "something you have". And the ZIP complements that. ZIP code is optional, but the merchant gets a data integrity score back from the network ("AVS/address verification service response", from no match to full match), and can accept/decline the txn at their discretion.

Because it's optional and at merchant discretion, all it really does is give the merchant some additional ammunition when disputing a chargeback. And of course to build a demographic database.

Wonder if Android apps can also be fully native (C++)?
My Lumix camera has a similar mode (uses sensor shift and 4 exposures to fake a composite 100MP image from my 25MP sensor), and I will say that even with a rock-solid tripod, you're not _actually_ getting a 4X (or whatever) increase in quality alongside the 4x resolution. If you zoom in Lightroom, the resulting image is at best a bit sharper in really high contrast areas, and at worst full of blatant overlapping and stitching artifacts.

I've never figured out a good use-case for that mode, and I've tried to use it quite a few times to shoot landscapes or static scenes with a tripod.

Maybe Canon does it better, but perhaps they dropped it because it's just not producing worthwhile results.

>He appears to have been under a spell of insanity and committing various crimes.

My close relative committed similar crimes in similar circumstances but at a much smaller scale. “Appears under the spell” describes what I saw very well. I think people who get into such situations are ill and do not control their actions, like a drug addict, alcoholic or a pathological gambler.

25 year sentence does some justice but it won’t stop these people because they are not capable of understanding what they do and what consequences they cause.

You know that book "JavaScript: The Good Parts"? There needs to be a similar one "AWS: just the good parts". It would probably talk about EC2 (VPS), S3 (cheap bulk storage), SES (emails), and that's about it. When folks get into the elastic-super-beanstalk-container-swarm-v0.3 products, that's when they really kill themselves on the bills.

That said, yes, just using a VPS vendor is the easy way to stick to the good parts.
Let me explain this to those who are not familiar with the American system of kleptocracy: Banks freeze account to steal the money, not because they suspect wrongdoing.

The thing is, there are obvious flaws in the review process that let a ton of spam and scammers through. It's not as if there's some high bar that keeps the bad stuff out but also some good stuff. It feels more like a sparse minefield that lets 80% of the crap through and occasionally hits something, and sometimes what it hits is bad.

There are diminishing returns after 1GBps.

I previously had 10Gbps symmetrical fiber[1], and it was simply impossible to saturate without running a speed test against another customer.

Servers were generally not fast enough to make use of that speed. XBOX downloads would sometimes peak near 1Gbps, but not sustain.

The main issue, I suppose, is that disk drives are not fast enough, or at least, not fast enough relative to their size. You can have 500MBps (40Gbps) hard drives, but your cloud provider has 50-100 customers at least accessing that drive, so your share of the straw is fairly small.

More pedestrian uses can't possibly benefit from such bandwidth either. 4k Blu-rays max out at 128Mbps. I suppose we could have 3D 8k120 streams taking 4Gbps (128*4*4*2). Maybe you can just go uncompressed, so 382Gbps (2*7680*4320*120*48), but that seems like it probably causes more trouble than compressing/decompressing, since it will be rather hard to buffer, and small hiccups will lose huge amounts of data.

In short, I think it wouldn't be substantially different than having a good 1Gbps symmetrical internet. It might allow Stadia like experiences to be really good, but those still have latency issues.
