This story[1] would have been in the news around that time as well, FWIW. I'm guessing there were probably many other related cases around the country also.

The landfill was created in 1982 by the State of North Carolina as a place to dump contaminated soil as result of an illegal PCB dumping incident.

The "illegal PCB dumping incident" refers to dumping of PCB contaminated oil from the Ward Transformer Factory along the sides of highways in several (14) NC counties, back in 1978.

> It's a shame that the mobile phone market is such a complete and utter shitshow. Can't root your device because a boatload of apps will stop working. Can't have an unlocked bootloader because other apps will stop working.

Sure, but it's perfectly understandable. Look at it from the other side: When the majority of your fraud comes from rooted devices and a tiny minority of your users have rooted devices... why would you not ban rooted devices?
The amount of energy it takes to split two continents and send them thousands of miles away from each other would be enough to boil off the oceans. Just think of the incredible amount of rock that has to be melted and resolidified (all of the rock in the rock floor between the two continents, or that was previously elsewhere). And resolidifying means releasing heat.

Yeah, this simply can't happen in just hundreds of years.

They only tried to ban it in 2018 and gave up in 2020 after failing to do so without cutting off access to other Internet services. The last time they blocked access to it was quite recently, on 21 August, after the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk oblast.

> It totally shocks me that so many pro Ukrainian influencers use Telegram.

They are using Telegram for PR, same as Twitter or Instagram. It doesn't matter if the posts get decrypted by Russia – they are anyways meant to be public.
Awesome is very appropriately named. (I presume you're using awesome because of the combo of tags and layouts is something I've only encountered there)

I actually have a configuration where I use it as window manager for KDE, to get most of the best of two worlds (awesome is my favourite window manager and KDE is a desktop environment I'm quite fond of).
Show HN: NFC tap-to-log health tracking, just like tap-to-pay
Here is the ndef record so you can do this yourself for free (we have an orderable product but it's not actually needed and we sell it at-cost):

]
}

Fancy demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=018IItVGXvA

This started as my colleague Awadi hacking an NFC tag and sticking it to his water bottle and repeatedly showing us his cool blue checkmark animation. Then a couple more of us got involved and did a 5-day hackathon to make it work for all health log types in Guava, and got some stickers printed!

There's a lot of variety in the choice of NFC tag material, antenna, chip, etc., and we chose the more expensive sticker tags so they'd be waterproof and work on metal. For certain use cases you could use tags that are much cheaper and look different though. One thing you can do is create a huge board on your wall with all the 20-100 (???) things you log for biohacking or whatever, and use a unique NFC tag to log each one. We wrote the software to allow configuring custom types, so it's fairly unlimited.
Seems possible the LLM could lead the officer in unnecessary directions. Could a machine interview be replaced by a checklist or flowchart, I wonder?

These LLM’s that can perform actions that look like conversing and thinking always seem to prompt the question: why did we do it that way? IMO the point of an interview is often not to just get the questions answered, but to get a second set of eyeballs with responsibility, agency, and the ability to blow the whistle, to scrutinize the series of events. Unless an AI is created with those abilities, I don’t see the point in having it interview people.
Something that isn't clear to me is why there has to be a hard divide between CSD and SSD. Is there anything in the Wayland spec that prevents UI frameworks from saying, "hey windowmanager/compositor, here's where control widgets go for this window", allowing WM-drawn controls to live on the same plane of existence as program-drawn controls? That along with some way for the WM/compositor to tell the UI framework if the user wants a discrete titlebar or if they're cool with the UI framework doing its own thing seems like it'd make everybody happy.
We eat omnivorous birds though (chickens, esp)
Another problem: "The police officer generated a vague half-assed report with no good explanation for what they did" can itself be evidence in a trial.

So running that through an LLM--or even delegating it to a human assistant--is kind of like tampering. It can easily generates falsehoods for a jury, like "this officer has clear recall of events" or "the officer is diligent in fact-checking" or "the officer had a proper reason for what they did".

Sure, an author could try to get the same result on their own, but at least it's the same brain and not ghostwritten by someone who wasn't there, and they can't just shift the blame for contradictions onto The Magic Mystery Machine.
Thanks for the recommendation. I've just given it a try and it looks great. I had tried coolify.io before, but the multi node/swarm support wasn't great, and the registry didn't work. Dokploy seemed to work straight out of the box.

One thing I wish it had to preview deployments though. Coolify had that. But I can live without it.
Sounds like selectively enforceable laws. And we thought Russia was bad with that.
If we provide an XMPP server on github, should we not allow users from France to use it? Or at which point it gets enforceable?
No need to assume that downvotes convey anger at all. They are given for lots of reasons, including style, rudeness, off-topic comments, irrelevance, incorrect or wrong comments, assumptions, negativity, etc. Sometimes downvotes (and upvotes) are nothing more than prioritizing. All that makes your edit and last sentence especially prone to downvotes, it’s multiple negative incorrect assumptions, and goes against HN guidelines.
> San Francisco’s AI startup boom is so big

It's really all about the money. The only ones who can compete at those obscene amounts of money are saudis or sth. If they decided to build a liberal utopia for people who want to be rich, they would have end up with the best universities and the best tech talent. But nobody wants to be rich just to be stuck in a repressive hellhole.
Yes, it is. But it's much cheaper than interacting by pipe.

Linux is optimizing sockets with a similar goal. And it's quite far on that direction. But there's still some margin to gain.

It's almost a stand up comedy special, but a smart version.
I don't think an LLM will fix the problem of a police officer who only enforces the law at their leisure. For all we know, the thief was their nephew or an informant, and the officer was deliberately protecting them.
I love working from home :)
But if I was doing the “give 100% to a startup” thing - as an employee or a founder - there’s no way I could stomach being 100% remote. No remote tools can replace having people in the same room working through a problem.
Would Snowden have said the same thing if Durov didn't escape from Russia before he was arrested? Probably not, Snowden is part of the Russian Spy and Disinformation campaign. He is basically a Russian agent.
They're not, "millennials eat out a lot" has become the new avocado toast. Like yeah when student loans, mortgage/rent, car payment, and bills are 6-8k out the door monthly it turns out a $40 night out stops moving the needle. If you eat out fri/sat every week that'll be 5% of your mandatory expenses. No one should be surprised folks don't give a shit.

I use the Chipotle burrito index to help folks understand the non-cost of eating out. My student loans are 120 burritos, my rent was 261 burritos. Getting a sub-pump installed is 952 burritos. Three cheers for prices of things rising non-uniformly.
Nowadays NICs only have access to encrypted packets, so such a backdoor would have to be in the CPU. I'm not saying such a thing doesn't exist, but I think it's pretty clear its use would have to be very targeted for nobody to have noticed so far (unless there's a grand conspiracy between all computers to hide clandestine Ethernet traffic).
Was it proven that tornado cash devs knowingly and intentionally laundered 1B and helper North Korea or are we just describing what a tumbler does which is to allow parties to mix in their money's and the tumbler operator takes a profit for running this?

Worse than that, some jurisdictions double-dip: regulate internet access like a utility, but treat it as a private resource (allowing regional monopolies that provide barely-usable service and set their own prices); make an internet connection legally mandatory (via a combination of employment, banking, and anti-homeless laws), but decline to fund public libraries (which provide internet access to those who otherwise don't have it).

Probably the best thing to come from AI is more than by ram in hardware.
I mean if that's your threat vector you cannot trust anything nor anyone ever about anything at all.

The dude you just shook hand with might have had a glove and stole your finger prints. The post employee you just gave your check to mail might be a impostor. The guy you're about to meet from craigslist might steal your iPhone and cut your thumb to access your entire digital life.

Ah but no, you're an average Joe and nobody gives a flying fuck about any of these.

Even if the software is totally open-source: unless you also made the hardware: it doesn't matter, unless you compiled all of it (and at that point probably wrote the compiler yourself as well as the os you're using) and installed yourself: it doesn't matter, unless you actually went though every single line of code and checked for yourself that every thing is safe (which you cannot): it doesn't matter
At this point I'm fairly confident this is not about the technology per se, so it's pointless to try and find differences and similarities and make sense of them. It's about politics, it's about personalities, impressions and incentives. I feel like governments just gave up on pretending that laws matter, now it's all about "indicting a ham sandwich".

Meaning, Signal is "in the clear" right now, because nobody fucking cares. It might not be, should the owner change, or should it became more popular (either in general or among certain categories of people).
That's one way to get people to move to Win11, I guess. Make Win10 suck just as much as it.

> So are they actually moving to SF city, or just some place in the bay area?

Your question is completely valid and misses what the bay is.

It's not SF or San Jose, or Oakland or the North or East bay... its all of it.

Depending on your politics you will hear SF is either gritty or beautiful. The reality is that is has always been both... Zodiac Killer, Patty Hearst, Jim Jones... LSD culture... The founding of the valley (hardware) and software (BSD, Ingress(all the work of stone breaker), Burning man, The first dot com Bubble... the resurgence of tech while the mortgage market burned.

Move to the bay, move around the bay, at some point you will find a place to call home, and people to be your "tribe".
The point is that it's not 4:3.

Now you are talking about hardware firmwares. That has nothing to do with an operating system because it is below the level on operating system.
Yes but that was to trick people into thinking it was popular and hopping on the bandwagon.

This is talking about using this synthetic data for research.
Not just by algorithm. In the US, many large employers utilize 'The Work Number' by Equifax for employment verification services, and share details about individual employees as granular as individual paycheck disbursements. This information is visible to other employers that buy in to the scheme, and obviously favors the employer in salary negotiations with a candidate.
Your server will likely occasionally have to restart regardless of whether you migrate or not. Maybe you could look at using Redis to store your game state. I think Heroku has a free add on.

Can't say there aren't others who've used my search terms, but some things I search for are pretty unique. And I do a lot of searching. And search speed is consistently sub-second. There's no trickery seeing years-old results from VERY heavily used chats appear instantly. There's heavy optimization happening for search, and I'm very certain default e2ee would destroy that experience. Unless you can point to 1 e2ee service working at that scale with comparable UX. I won't even touch on the local aspect as the amount of storage needed to just store the data is waaaay beyond anything I'm even interested in owning, much less the compute to make it so accessible.

Would your team go for tech intensives?

Someone (Y-Combinator?) should rent some of SF's spare office/living space (expensify?) and host far-flung company tech teams for 2-week work vacations where they collaborate with local companies.

This would work particularly well for collaboration between customer-facing AI companies and infrastructure AI companies, or for coordinating infrastructure bits.
This is a great hack, but it makes bad sparklines. It’s probably about as good as you can get with unicode, so props to Jon.

Sparklines have a few important properties which these do not exhibit. They’re typically higher resolution, with more data per inch. Also the slopes from point to point, and the whitespace under the typical graph/sparkline, help readability.
At Coherence (withcoherence.com - I'm a cofounder) we are delivering the open-source benefits of Coolify (less vendor lock-in, cheap hosting costs) via our open-source CNC framework (cncframework.com) while still keeping a hosted SaaS control plane that eliminates the "few hours of fiddling with setup" that the blog author minimizes here. Maintenance and configuration complexity over time (as you customize and use click-ops to configure) are endless, especially as you get more usage or host more projects.

Coolify is awesome software, and alongside similar tools like Caprover, Dokku, and Cloud66, it has its role. But for business use-cases I believe that giving up managed cloud services is too big a leap to make sense, and that a middle-ground approach will win in the long term.

Basic was a terrible language. Truly.

It was also a language that was discoverable to a curious 10-year-old.

So for the purpose of making the machine accessible to those who didn't know how to program, Basic was actually pretty good.

Don't use non-secure chats for your communication, then. Telegram is not just a chat app, it's also used somewhat like Facebook. Are you concerned that Facebook can see posts and comments? Facebook can also see your chats, there is no option to E2E encrypt them, unlike Telegram.

I was having a discussion about the creation story in the Bible with my aunt one time and my dad walked in and said what are y'all talking about? Whether the creation story is literal.

He said, and it amuses me to this day, no one takes the creation story literally!

So there he was, in a strong relationship with a sister who he had known his entire life and didn't know that she took the creation story literally whereas he took it more poetically. And they grew up in the same household.

When is price regulation ever called for? The only times I can think of are when there is a monopoly, oligopoly, monopsony, oligopsony or significant externalities.

The popularity of a proposal has very little to do with its appropriateness.
I’m pretty sure that code search webpage is the external facing version or Google’s internal code search, which they use to index their huge internal monorepo, so it makes sense that it works well.
You need nested virtualization, which many VMs support -- it is architecture dependent. But, yes, to maximize the benefits you'll want to run on baremetal.

From the standpoint of a cloud user, the kind that likes Dokku, the experience is cheaper/faster/more secure if the infra uses uVMs vs containers.
An encrypted system can depend on a trusted third party. Sometimes that trust is mandatory, like, say, a XMPP system used in an industry where IM messages have to be archived for future possible access to a regulator. Such systems are much easier for the user to use securely.

Most end to end capable systems degrade to trusting the provider when the user fails to verify the identity of their correspondent using some ridiculously long number. In other words, the user has to take an assertive action to become fully end to end where only the end users are trusted. Just like with Telegram secret chats. You can't just claim that such systems are not encrypted. Things are more subtle.

The headline here ("Telegram Is Not Encrypted") is misleading...
It's not speculation if that's literally what the charges are, as per the court documents.
I basically want to +1 this. OP isn't selling to any place that is already spending six figures on SRE salaries. Actual competitors are companies like Komodor and Robusta who sell "we know Kubernetes better than you" solutions to companies that don't want to spend money on SRE salaries. Companies in this situation should just seriously reconsider hosting on Kubernetes and go back to higher-level managed services like ECS/Fargate, Fly/Railway, etc.
My feelings exactly. Surely a gallery of examples wouldn't be hard to add?
I read Ria Novosti sometimes to get a feel for the current state of Russian propaganda. The same goes for Western outlets such as NYT and Fox News.

Mostly, I read for entertainment and find The Guardian articles to be the most convenient read out of most any Western media outlet. Their prose seems to have an easier flow than that of NYT for example. No idea why.

I have an acquaintance who is in a position at a police force that got a very early preview of this. With me working in tech, he wanted my opinion on it and hallucinations were my first concern. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but at that time the way the feature was set up it would add a few sentences of incorrect information into the report intentionally and the report would not be able to be submitted if that information was still in the report.

I have no idea if that's how it works now or how well that works, but it seems like the team building this is aware of that possibility and at least taking some steps to try and prevent that from happening.

Ok, but that is just asserting that mental toughness is what matters here. And it ignores the fact that there are far more men in the slightly less than ultra marathon world than women, so shouldn't there also be more men with a chance to win if mental toughness is equally distributed?

Maybe it's the fact that women have a higher percentage of type 1 muscle fibers than men, and it just takes until ultra marathon level distances that the increased proportion of type 1 fibers makes up for the relative higher percentage of type 2 fibers in men. Or maybe women are more efficient at burning fat than men are.
