Have you ever worked as a dishwasher? It may not be complicated, but it's hard work.

It's not usually just washing dishes either, you're expected to help all around the kitchen.

And if the pastry chef quits in the middle of service, or if some waitstaff doesn't show up for the night, you might find yourself suddenly doing another job with no training (and no extra pay either), while still having to wash the dishes at the same time.

I work in IT these days, and honestly my Job is way easier and less stressful than when I washed dishes.
I have CDs from software I bought in the 90s I can install today (probably in a VM). I bought it, I should be able to make it work SOMEHOW for the next 100 years. Just release an update with the phone-home commented out.

Oh okay, thank you, and you're welcome. :)
I wonder how long it will be before AI can program financial independence. Loosely it would look like a mix between One Red Paperclip, drop shipping, Angi, trading bots, etc. The prompt might be "create a $1000 per month income stream in the next 30 days". Maybe the owner of the first AI to pass this could get a $1 million prize. 2030?

Then equally interesting would be to see how the powers that be maneuver to block this residual income. 2035?

Then after that, perhaps a contest to have an AI acquire resources equivalent to residual income so that it can't be stopped. For example by borrowing for cheap land, installing photovoltaics and a condenser to supply water, then building out a robotic hydroponic garden, carbon collector, mine, smelter, etc, enough to sustain one person off-grid continuously in a scalable and repeatable fashion. 2040?

I think both camps are equally disturbed by bugs, but economic pressures mean that they prioritize which bugs to fix differently than employees.
I think this statement requires a stronger argument, since even if they could have access to the data in theory there are concrete implementations where it could be extremely unfeasible.

For example, since we are in the realm of speculations, I propose the following alternative to the plaintext or accessible decryption keys: the decryption could happen inside a nitro enclave making it essentially impossible to access the data without changing the application code.

I'm not saying that this is what happens, just that I don't think that one can so easily deduce that "they can access the data" just from the fact that "they send you chat history to you".

This -among climate change in general- is one of the reasons we launched the largest crowd sourced real time CO2 map. [1]

The main idea behind is to create more awareness on local and regional emissions like the wildfires in Canada as well as to generate public available data with a dense network of CO2 sensors for scientific research. [2]

Anyone feel like they missed the boat?
People who have $100 million dollars have that money because the United States is a developed, mostly politically stable country with a highly skilled workforce and a massive military. They should pay into the system that made them so absurdly rich.

I also disagree with assessment of the stimulus and the inflation reduction act. In terms of monetary policy, juicing the economy with stimulus is exactly what you're supposed to do during times of economic crisis. Policymakers wanted to avoid the slow recovery of 2008. The ultimate result of post-covid monetary policy is that we had a brief period of major inflation (much of which was caused by pandemic and war related supply shocks) but things are getting back to normal and we've largely avoided the worst outcomes. With respect to the inflation reduction act, large investments were needed in infrastructure maintenance, onshoring manufacturing, and tackling climate change. That law did all those things, so I don't really care what they call it tbh.
It's Telegram's "groups" channels that make it popular.

I'm not sure if Signal has that feature?
Presumably this would mean also earning more than the amortized cost of all the hardware they’ve purchased too which is a much higher bar than just electricity costs.

I'm an outsider (not a contributor or related to parties in the suspected "political" origins, and had not created an HN account until now) but it was pretty easy to find the reason behind the change. Scroll down and there's the unanimous decision to block Russian access from registry due to sanctions.

Now if you want to blow this out of proportion you certainly can. Turn on the conspiracy tap of "trying to slid this in under the cover of darkness" but the fact of the matter is the Technical Steering Committee decided on something and acted on it, as their role grants them the power to do so. Anything else is just assumption.
Articles about Telegram and similar encryption problems always tend to hit the very manipulative topics. Terrorism and CSAM are always used. The four horsemen methodology for control.

The point is to emotionally manipulate the audience into complicity. To cause people not to question the underlying privacy and legal issues.

Instead they want the reader to have thoughts of large numbers of people, in organized networks presumably, that want to cause terror to them or harm to their children.

This causes a reaction in many people to forget about basic rights and focus on the fear they have been given instead.

I'm sure France and the U.S. have a million reasons to want this data from the Ukraine war, to probably some cases of the things they claim. However, it is definitely exaggerated and no one should be willing to trade the ability to communicate privately out of some fear that people who want to harm you are also able to communicate privately.

None of it really makes any logical sense because at the end of the day, to end all encryption means the Government would have to basically criminalize math.

So of course they rely on the reliable methods of emotional manipulation. I mean, they should have a blank check to go after this guy and anyone else, right? You don't support terrorism do you???
> This helps you maintain control over a thread you started, ideally limiting dog-piling and other forms of harassment. On the other hand, quote posts are often used to correct misinformation too. To address this, we’re leaning into labeling services and hoping to integrate a Community Notes-like feature in the future.

I'm confused. It seems like they're acknowledging why this is a bad idea yet are proceeding with it?

If you don't want people to be able to reply critically to a post, why not have a private profile or not post it in the first place?
This is a thread about Teslas running red lights. Your story about a trip wherein that didn’t happen has no real bearing on this topic.

Your nice trip aside, no sci-fi hypotheticals make running red lights acceptable either.

“What if we invented a reverse microwave but it made everything smell like cheese?” or “What if we invented an interpretive dance that solved climate change but only people over 6’4” could do it?” have the same amount of relevance to Teslas running red lights as the human jelly machine you’ve conjured in your mind.
Sorry, it is absolutely hard-core malice. No hinting, after we found out last year that a deliberate sleep was introduced with a user agent check. This is bald-faced murder. Its like shooting someone in public and stomping on the body. No need to dance around it.

I do know how to right click the printer icon in the tray.

The os should know when new screens are attached or removed and take logical action.

If you have 2 cars in your driveway you have to chose. If one is removed, which one do you use?

Putting things under system or behind a vague icon is not instantly obvious. If i did that i would sell nothing.

That 3 things combined in one icon is wrong is already obvious where you refer to it as the sound icon. The convention is for the banana icon to open the banana menu. You switch to the banana mind set and learn new banana features.

Fil-C is not ABI compatible with regular C, so there’s no way to accidentally forget to compile some part of your stack with Fil-C.

If changing all the HW we use was as easy as waving a wand, then your argument would be sound. Unfortunately, it’s super hard to get folks to use different HW. And because of how silicon economics work out, a new upstart architecture with limited users is sure to experience slower perf scaling than the mainstream HW. That strongly disincentivizes anyone from being an early adopter of exotic new HW. I think that’s why CHERI isn’t mainstream yet despite a decade of investment.

Hence why even ignoring Fil-C, it’s probably more realistic to rewrite stuff in Rust than it is to switch to CHERI. Fil-C adds a third option where you pay some perf but you don’t have to rewrite your code or switch what HW you use. CHERI also costs perf - practically speaking, available CHERI HW is more than 6x slower than the HW Fil-C can run on. That’s fundamental, due to silicon economics.

Finally, I think you’re overselling the CHERI defense in depth. My understanding is that CHERIoT doesn’t use virtual memory and that there are subtle reasons why virtual memory and CHERI put together gets weird, especially if you want to support capability revocation. On the other hand, Fil-C works on top of virtual memory so you get both virtual memory protection and capability protection, hence more defense in depth.
Uh, no. Did you read what I said? Hell, did you read what you said? This response makes no sense whatsoever.
Think of ChatGPT (and its ilk) as just another tool, no different from a Google search in which you look for code to solve your problem. If you prioritize learning to code on your own, you'll avoid these tools. If you prioritize getting working code, you'll use these tools. It's a sliding spectrum, and there is no right or wrong answer.

Even if you rely on these tools heavily, you can't help but learn from them because you must still examine the their code, even if briefly. It will be a different type of learning than what you'd learn from, say, cracking open a language manual (yes, we used to do this back in the pre-Web days), but you will learn nonetheless.

I suggest you try all the tools available to you and the decide when it's appropriate for you to use each.

Can't resist sharing my own experience as a dishwasher though given the number of comments no one's going to read this... I was a dishwasher (and everything else) at your standard suburban Italian deli for a couple years in high school. Italian delis are famous for their cold deli sandwiches, but also for things like bacon, egg and cheeses for the breakfast crowd, and chicken cutlet, chicken parm, sausage and pepper, meatball, etc. sandwiches for lunch. And the great thing about it is that these things, historically anyway, are cooked on-site, starting first thing in the morning, using your standard baking sheets/pots/pans, which (surprise) creates a lot of dishes each day.

Now this deli I worked at had no machine so all those pots and pans stack up and by afternoon, when the cooking is done, there's a huge stack of dirty dishes. My first day working there, I show up after school and since they know I'm coming there's the huge stack of dishes waiting for me, the new guy. They tell me to get cracking on it and so I don the apron and get going. This is maybe at 2pm.

As I'm working away, folks periodically check in with me, kind of with these quizzical looks, but they don't really say anything other than an "all good?" type of vibe. And I'm sweating my ass off because the amount of char/build up on these stainless steel pans/pots/etc. is off the charts. But I'm diligently working away getting them absolutely friggin' spotless! Like restoring them back to their brand-new state.

Well, you see where this is going. The guy who got me the job, a friend who's also a high school guy but a bit older, comes in the back, as I'm finishing up, maybe 4 or 5 hours later. The two owners of the deli also come around the corner. My friend's like "dude, those have never looked like that," pointing at the huge stack of cleaned pots and pans. And I'm like "whattaya mean?" And he's like "all of that black stuff? Just stays on there!" I'd literally cleaned off years of charring that had built up. He slaps me on the back, starts laughing his ass off. One of the two owners, when he stopped laughing, was like "I didn't know why the hell it was taking you so long but... they look great!"
Yeah that makes sense, we hear that a lot and it's on our roadmap. It won't come in the next release unfortunately but I'd love to have it land within the next couple releases after that
For what I read, the limiting factor is how quickly and easily I can grok what they are trying to communicate, not how quickly and easily I may be able to apprehend the letterforms.

Sure, there are better typographical choices than monospace, but even bothering with that decision is like optimising a 2*x to an x<<1 in code that's hitting disk anyway.

(on the flip side: it doesn't matter how easy it is to read a sequence of words, or how beautiful they may be, if they don't communicate anything; the code analogy is that it doesn't matter how much faster a buggy change runs)

Does that make sense?
If recompiling is a nonstarter then a new HW arch like CHERI is even more of a nonstarter.
That's essentially an Android system backup, i.e. a disk dump of the app data folder, right?

Almost nobody uses these in practice, so I think my point largely still stands.

I'm pretty sure that, given their stance on this issue on iOS, they'd start locally encrypting the message database using a key stored in the Android Keystore system (which won't be backed up or extracted).

> I have seen a single line of code passed through 4 "interface functions"

I mean if you are held accountable for using copyrighted code by the owner, you should then in turn be able to hold the consultant accountable for being the source of it, and the blame and responsibility may be shifted in part or in whole.

I don't think it's all that different than if I'm an employer and my employee does something illegal. An investigation can be made as to whether the acted on their own acted based on what the directions or prevailing understanding was at the company. That may change who is responsible in part or in whole and what steps need to be taken to provide recompense to those impacted by that illegal activity.

Every situation will be complex and unique in its own way. That's what courts are for, determining the unique aspects of a case and making specific ruling based on the law and the situation, as the judge (in determining what is acceptable and willing to be seen) and jury (to determine whether someone needs to be held accountable and to a degree how) see fit.
> “Parents need the support of family members, friends and neighbors.”

Western countries have worked hard over the past few decades to reduce the impact of or downright destroy the influence of the nuclear family: a fairly generous welfare state, the constant denigration of religion, "DINK"s being treated as the popular thing to be, etc.

It's no wonder replacement birth rates have slowed to alarming levels and families are seen as broken.
This, I don't think open source can be properly characterised through the lens of capitalism. There will always be students, academics, and people who don't work in software at all, willing to try their hand at developing something for their own use, which may or may not get traction in the grander scheme. It doesn't have to be an "unhealthy" hobby if you pace yourself and draw lines around what you're willing to do or not.

I find that deeply sad and it's probably one of the reasons why I'm partially disillusioned in programming as a profession. A lot of it is just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. LLMs will probably accelerate that process.
I'm only minimally familiar with BlueSky. Is it a fair analogy, for understanding what this is, to say it's like:

- If someone replies to this HN comment I just wrote, and I don't like it, I can delete their comment (because there is an thread ownership concept on BlueSky, and the earliest comment is the owner);

- If someone links to this HN comment I just wrote, and I don't like it, I can make that hyperlink disappear, or invalidate in some way (because BlueSky is a locked API garden and hyperlinks are not plain text, but magic cloud API tokens)

Is this much correct?
>The Bluesky app won’t list all the quote post removals directly on your post, but developers with knowledge of the Bluesky API will be able to access this data.

Seems like they have some good ideas for how to deal with quote posts/tweets. But I don't understand how decisions like this are compatible with their hopes to eventually make the network decentralized. Surely you can't trust individual servers to obey this anti harassment feature? Are they no longer planning to make it decentralized?

Chlorophyll's great if you can consume it in adequate quantities. Usually brings other beneficial nutrients as a side effect.
You are probably correct that you are stagnating. I've been there, and was happy with it for a while. But when it was time to leave, I had to work hard for about a year to skill up and prove that I could do modern tech stacks. It was a pain, but totally worth the effort.

At the same time, that salary is not bad for a lower cost of living area, so if it is stable and low-stress, that doesn't sound too bad.

I'd say that the question is whether or not growing as an engineer is a goal in your life, or if you are happy just working at your decent job, and then living your own life outside of work?
Implicit Bias Matters for Language Models
I'm pretty sure they would, if they could think of a good way. Usable, yet secure backup encryption is so far an unsolved problem, as far as I can tell.

The two options, roughly speaking, are: Force users to store some high-entropy passphrase (which most users will then store somewhere not very secure), or let them pick their own passphrase (which won't be very good). This is what WhatsApp does.

A third one would be to allow a short passphrase and guard that by a server-side HSM or maybe SGX, which Signal seems to be somewhat fond of; I'm glad they're not doing that.

> That's a very US centric view

It is of course however it can be argued that the US is somewhat of a unique case here.

To quote wikipedia (which itself is citing three other sources in this quote's case)

> According to labor historians, the US has the most violent labor history of any industrialized nation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_history_of_the_United_St...

So the US has a bit of a unique history here. A less than fun example of this is that the organized labor holiday "May Day" is celebrated in many countries notably excluding the US.

This of course being despite the fact that the date was selected by the AFL (now AFL-CIO, one of the main union federations in the US) to memorialize the general strike in Chicago that ended in the Haymarket Massacre (May 1st 1886 - May 4th 1886).
