it's a lot better if you mute a sub the first time it fails to moderate off topic political shit. it's fundamentally a moderation issue

also any sub related to anything remotely gender specific immediately gets overrun with incel content (or female equivalent)

but I do think niche or regional community oriented subs are worth frequenting
As someone who used to interview for my team as we grew; a lot of candidates can't back up what's on their resume. Even simple questions they fall apart.

I tend to just have a conversation. Tell me what you can do, explain some of the details, tell me about the last time you broke production, it's usually enough. I've never made a bad hire knocks on wood

On the other side, I can't get an interview AT ALL right now. Over the years I've sat through garbage interviews with trick questions and brain teasers from people trying to be google, except google long ago realized that doesn't work...
Perhaps they already have backdoors, but don't tell everyone.

You seem to be rather confused about the current thinking and capabilities of criminal groups.

Requiring a phone number most certainly isn’t some fool proof method in the way you are claiming.
The old code is probably close enough to correct. It has been battle tested for a while if it has not been actively worked on. If it has operated for good while without immediately noticeable issues it is likely okay for current uses.

Outer space is agreed upon by the USA as being beyond a country's sovereignty claims - https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/spacelaw/treaties/int...

The Kármán Line is also generally accepted to be the boundary of outer space, set at 100 kilometers above ground.

The ISS orbits at something like 415km above Earth.

I'm no lawyer but is seems plausible to say no, orbiting above 100km of altitude over the USA would not be considered entry into the country.
> "I can easily guess that assholes in secret service would probably like very much to use that to blackmail him to add backdoors to telegram. So sad."

Telegram is a backdoor by design. The server has complete access to all your messages, they can do whatever they want with those.

And they even had a backdoor in E2EE chats, see: https://habr.com/ru/articles/206900/
Telegram is end-to-end encrypted in private chats, the Telegram team doesn't even know what people are discussing. Same should happen with Whatsapp or Signal. Should Whatsapp or Signal be accountable for what terrorists talk in private?
E2EE should be a human right. Period.

There are other ways to capture and ensnare criminals. Sacrificing our privacy for the "greater good" is a bridge too far.

As one counter point, think about all of the completely fine human behaviors that instantly become kompromat when the powers have access to your every communication. That is way more dangerous to democracy, freedom, and liberty than a slightly smaller chance of "not protecting the children".

Besides, if we actually cared so much about children, we wouldn't let them not get school lunches, we wouldn't sell them on gambling and gacha games, and we'd do a much better job of educating them.
Yes we already have that, it's called `async def`.
No because those platforms make the values token effort to curb illegal activity via moderation be it user performed or done by their own employees. Telegram does not do this. Anywhere at all. It's very different.
Why can you do both? RealityKit is an ECS, yet its classes and objects are designed w OO principles in mind.

My primary takeaway from the cryptography course I took was a good understanding of why I shouldn't try to roll my own crypto, but a lot of that came down to the course design. Mine spent significantly more time on covering how various cryptography schemes were broken than on how to implement things, and a course which was the other way around could easily inspire false confidence.
And none of the fatalities were the fault of the aircraft.

One crashed on the runway after pilot error, killing three people (two of them weren't wearing seatbelts)

One was shot down by a Russian anti-aircraft missile, killing all on board.

And the other is a mystery, we can't even find the crash site. But most evidence points towards deliberate pilot suicide.

a) There is no up-skilling needed to use LLMs. They are very basic to use.

b) Many of us have used them for a while now and can speak from experience that they aren't providing a meaningful productivity boost. Simply because they don't work well enough to provide a positive ROI. And no amount of prompting expertise can change that.

c) For me it is junior developers who love these tools because they think it's a shortcut to becoming experienced. But it's akin to cheating. You're not actually learning why and how things are supposed to work. And that will hurt you in professional environments where you often need to explain why you wrote that code and introduced that bug.

I don’t know what anyone is supposed to assume from one story from over a decade ago.

I’m just saying to slow down and wait for details to come out. This thread is turning into a paranoid fever dream based on nothing as far as I can tell.
I've found that AI takes much more edge cases into account than my lazy brain does. It has no problem writing tedious code covering things that are very unlikely to happen. When I see the solution it suggests it's often more robust than my initial plan.
The detainment order was outstanding for some time, and Durov certainly knew that. Still he plainly landed in France and was detained. Why?

My pet tinfoil-hat theory is that he decided that staying in a French prison is safer for him than being out in the open and get some polonium, or whatnot.
Does anyone have a write up of the response format the llm uses in these type of editors? I'm assuming the llm can't generate exact diff format without making errors.
Yes indeed. It shows the importance of cultural and political issues in everything. And not least in space flight. See the motivation behind the Apollo programme in the past or who might be part of the next Crew-9 mission in the current situation.
Durov was notorious in Russia for refusing to cooperate with FSB (successor to KGB), too. I remember when FSB asked him to give access to protester communications on VK (in 2011 during mass protests), he mockingly responded with a picture of a dog with its tongue out (showing your tongue means "I won't give it to ya" in Russian culture). That's why he left Russia, because he felt he'd get arrested soon. Quite ironic that he ended up getting arrested in the "free world", not Russia. Telegram was also banned in Russia for a few years.
We can be honest and the government realizes that it's not just talking. At least for the conversations they are concerned about. *EDIT* I dont agree with it, but Ive seen governments do far worse with far less.

Seattle was MADE flat by literally using fire hoses to flatten hills and mountains [0].

That said, I disagree with the role geography has with developing a tech industry - most of it can be directly related to investment put during WW2 and the 1950s into innovation clusters.

For example, Seattle and aerospace (Boeing), Bay Area and computers+electronics+nukes (HP, IBM Almaden, LLNL, LLBL, Los Alamos managed by UCB), San Diego and Biotech+Defense Tech (Salk Lab, Navy), Portland and electronics (INL, PNNL, Tektronics, Intel), etc

>You keep posting this reply everywhere, doesn't make it true.

Amazing that, even after today's confirmation of what we all expected, there are still those in denial.

>They've always had the option of coming down on crew 8

Yes, lashed to a jury-rigged harness in the cargo department. Right now NASA is in de facto violation of the ironclad rule of always having a seat for everyone aboard ISS, and for about three weeks between Crew 8's departure and Crew 9's arrival, the violation will be even greater.

>Saying they're not coming back on starliner doesn't mean that it's certain death if they do

As I wrote in the link in the comment that you keep seeing everywhere but never bothered to read:

>NASA has said that in an emergency the astronauts will use Starliner. That is not the same thing as saying that using Starliner (whether in an emergency or not) to return to earth is as safe as using Soyuz or Crew Dragon, and every day the return is delayed (hitting two months very shortly) is additional proof of this.

>Put another way, if there is an emergency on ISS right now, the two astronauts that flew on Starliner have to take Starliner back because there is no alternative. There are no extra seats on Soyuz or Crew Dragon docked there.

and

>In an "ISS explodes tomorrow and there is no Starliner" situation, of course Wilmore and Williams will be strapped in as tightly as possible as cargo in Crew Dragon. The ride might be bumpy, but should be survivable.

>The interesting question is, in an "ISS explodes tomorrow" scenario, does the above still occur? Based on all available reporting the answer would until very recently have been "No; Wilmore and Williams will use Starliner". I am no longer sure that this is the case.

Note the last sentence.

Birds aren't real – how to create your own "bird"
I do not judge the package BUT have to note a very interesting thing: this package show a classical thing about human interaction with a computer, where data and code are mixed and user programming is a thing.

People could remain in a "development environment" not just to develop something or to manipulate numbers but for more generic data usage. Aside Quarto reports who can mix text, formatting and live code, like org-mode is another classical thing in a modern environment.

It's VERY positive to me, because it's a simple sign of another step toward classic computing, a thing we have lost and that's desperately needed.

I am whiny about being anti-AI, but no doubt they are well-suited for English<->programming translation tasks, which along with a well-tuned bag of tricks is a useful tool.

But two issues the tech community had not spent nearly enough effort discussing:

1) As a big fan of Idris, I am worried that these tools will strongly disincentivize language development: why design an elegant language if an LLM can write the boilerplate faster than you can write a cleaner implementation?

2) I still don't think these tools are even slightly ethical. In 2022 I kicked the tires on ChatGPT-3.5 for F# codegen, and got some truly terrible results. I copy-pasted some lines into GitHub and found the unique repositories which ChatGPT was obviously plagiarizing from, and with 15 seconds of prompt "engineering" I got it to spit out ~200 lines verbatim from my personal F# linear algebra library - the only thing that was changed was stripping out the comments and updating some syntax to F# 4.7. Pure plagiarism. It is especially frustrating that GPT is more likely to plagiarize that library precisely because there aren't very many similar repos on GitHub.

Obviously the plagiarism problem can be fixed. (and it seemingly has been...for F#. Not sure about Idris!) However, it really seems like that sort of RLHF fine-tuning is about covering OpenAI's tracks, not "teaching" the AI how to "generalize." In particular I refuse to use the tool because now instead of reliably getting it to plagiarize from F# developers, I have no clue whatsoever if it's stealing or if it managed to truly autoregress its way into an ethical solution. So instead of rolling the dice on being a graceless scumbag, I'll just take my time writing out my code by hand.

And it was striking that GPT-3.5 had read and memorized more F# than Don Syme has seen in his entire life, yet in response to simple questions it was a mindless plagiarist. It's a stark illustration why the legal argument that ANN learning = human learning is vacuous, and why OpenAI should lose most of the copyright lawsuits it's facing.

Here's a long personal interview with Durov.

https://x.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1780355490964283565

I know that TuckerCarlson is a polarizing character. My posting of this link is not any kind of statement for or against him or his politics. That being said, the interview really gives an interesting picture of Pavel Durov IMO. If you can ignore Carlson's annoying tangents into American politics, you get to hear a good bit of Durov's life story straight from his mouth in reasonable detail. I came away from it with a more positive picture of Durov and Telegram.
Here in Australia people retire ‘down the coast’. For us that’s the stunning south of NSW. Look up Eden (yes, really, Eden).

Sounds like pretty generic advice that I've heard from older people...basically all my life. Maybe there's some underlying truth that creates the commonality, but for the most part this is about on par with "Don't do stuff that will kill you" which is vapid and useless.
Then we're not just talking about a settlement layer, right? We're talking about holding crypto instead of cash, and self custody.
I can assure you they are not concerned by illegal drugs and crime as every single french city is gangrened by drug dealers and thugs. But they really don't like free speech.
It’ll be interesting to see if the likes of Marlinspike, Firefox, EFF, etc., rally to support this guy.

It’s really chilling to see the steps EU gobs are taking against free speech. In some ways they seem more authoritarian than even China and Russia. It’s like “free world” is becoming a farce.
I know chat rooms that have been nuked for Pornography etc. I reported some chats where I've seen inappropriate content and I received notifications that they were deleted. A lot of users are muted/banned too for illegal activities. It isn't exactly unmoderated, but the staff can't exactly search every single server under the sun for illegal material or activities. You probably don't know how bad Matrix is, out of 200k servers, 70k were banned for CSAM and there are still a lot of them around.

2 hours from a central hub I'd actually consider a plus. If you travel for work it's bad, but for any personal trip, skipping a connection is pretty valuable. Not just in time, but generally international / longer flights are higher priority, and are less likely to be randomly delayed or canceled.

I think tptacek is talking about a ground-up design, in that case I think you should use Argon2id. Using something weaker is not really needed, turn the parallelism down to 1 and then start reducing the rounds and memory until it works for your case.
I've got plenty of complaints about SQL, but as one of the most useful programming languages to have ever been invented, I have to say that syntax complaints are one of lowest items I would have on my list of things to be prioritized for a change. Sure, the syntax could be better, but why do we care so much about it over the dozens of other problems with it?

How about we get a SQL successor with algebraic data types, true boolean logic (as opposed to SQL's ternary logic), or functional composition? Null values are the bane of any query writer's existence, and we should have a reasonable solution by now...we've already done it with other programming languages.

The messages are not end to end encrypted.

There is a feature that can be enabled to create an end-to-end encrypted chat between strictly two users, but most people do not actually use it.

Telegram is largely a social network masquerading as a messaging app. There is a deep network of “channels” that interlink with each other to provide a community for users. None of that is encrypted.
