It might sound cynical but it's accurate. There was a big political will to go to the moon because the USSR was beating us at every important space milestone. That galvanized the American government sufficiently to spend massive amounts of capital to win the space race.

After a decade or two, and the loss of any real competition, the US lost the political will to keep pushing boundaries. The primary reason we don't still have the immediate capability to put people onto the moon isn't technical, it's political. We are only now reigniting that desire, and again, it's because of another great power starting to push things in space.

It was CCCP pushing us then, it's the CCP now.
What? All the knowledge can be transferred to the USA in case of an invasion via open refugee status and brain drain from Taiwan to the USA under the circumstances.
Bang for the buck exists if you get into a top 10 or 20 school where admission standards are so high that people are impressed simply by the fact that you were admitted and/or you get to network with resourceful people.

Otherwise, any state university should suffice. A few states have some state schools with very low acceptance rates and difficulty to get in that might serve to advertise/network you better than another state school.

If it’s not hard to get admitted, then just buy the education with the lower price.
My point is that the sizeable majority of the disdain for unions stems from economic reasoning, not some personality or sub-cultural factor. Let's revisit the original comment I responded to:

> It's a thought, but ceteris paribus, software engineers seem to have a particular scorn for unions beyond the calculus of economics. In other words, there is a personality/sub-cultural disdain for unions.

When one writes "software engineers _______", without any sort of qualifier, the typical interpretation is that the statement applies to the majority of the group.

It's a very different thing to write "software engineers seem to have a particular scorn for unions beyond the calculus of economics" and "a handful of software developers seem to have a particular scorn for unions beyond the calculus of economics".
Huh, I’m pretty sure the version I use is the one from the post and it does have diacritics. (I’m not on my computer now but will check later.)

One thing that bothers me, though, is that “í” is oddly positioned and almost makes it look like there’s an extra space between it and the following character.
There are already communities around providing fixes and drivers for OSes going back to at least Windows 3.x(!), so I hope things like this will also come with fixes too.

The complexity of essential system software has ballooned out of control, and it has always been my belief that "EOL" means eventual stability; known unknowns are better than unknown unknowns. They always tell you how many bugs they fixed in the new version, but they never tell you how many new ones they introduced.
What fraction of domestic violence shelter occupants are paranoid rather than reasonably fearful? What fraction are paranoid, vs. those who are reasonably afraid of being spied on in general? Probably some, but I believe many have well founded reasons to want to be anonymous and in hiding.

I concede that tor is probably not a useful tool in general for these people. I meant to point out only that one needn't be paranoid to fear one's spouse.
Is ARC challenge the next ImageNet challenge?
I guess the Imagenet challenge helped progress the Computer Vision research. In the same way, the ARC challenge will be the next important challenge that tests the LLMs.

What are your opinions?
Surely that has more to do with having a fleet of edge nodes that mirror content close to consumers? There are only so many ways to ship video bytes across the internet. Best way to save money is to move fewer bytes.
Maybe the road to heaven is paved with bad intentions.
> It’s also 3-4x faster than typing out comments.

It's also 3-4x slower than reading, on the other side, and impossible to search (without some voice recognition tool slapped over it)

> up to 8x more content

So, you have to lose up to 4x8 more time to obtain the information you probably didn't need
Noticing trends in logs ,especially across different systems, could be useful for identifying a lot problems before they break.
Also keep the following in mind:

If you were to use an automated browser, such as puppeteer / playwright:
- People don't move mouses in "straight" lines.

- People don't click on things that are out of viewport.

- Check the permissions you give sites.

The free market often needs nudges in the right direction. The free market is a rule of thumb and not an actual Scientific Law. When left unchecked it ultimately eats itself
I really don't think the fact that it's happening in relatively slow motion makes a big difference. One could argue that the ~2m living in Gaza are the ones who have experienced mass forced displacement, and while I am not in sympathy with many of Hamas' actions, I do think they can make a valid argument for attacking IDF bases and similar strategic infrastructure.
In my experience it's more the younger people who likes audio messages..
I feel AI will get in the way same as other products have done in the past. Sure, it’ll fit some areas and we’ll hear a happy story here and there but business need to focus on their core competencies and do a job with that well before hoping for a magic solution. Us, the workers will need to clean up the mess…
"AI" is different because it's low-effort and easily automated, making it easy to absolutely flood public spaces. Quantity has a quality all its own.
>The real problem with American universities is that in one generation they have gone from best in the world to completely lost and directionless, having jettisoned their entire curricula in favor of counterintuitive and vapid intellectual fashion, but enough about that, I'm sure you're thinking you need to know my pronouns

Like? I'm sure you're deeply familiar with these fashions.

And nobody asked for your pronouns, even if I cared we're on an internet forum.
It has been for me the last 15 years like this.
I was originally totally against the idea of using neuralink as anything other than an aid for accessibility, but you have completely sold me.

I want to attend a meeting, have neuralink pay attention for me while I'm mentally somewhere else, and I'll just skim the transcript highlights later on.

So. Many. Meetings. I would use it for almost all of them.
First - from the 'technical' point of view - I can't wait to read books / documentaries about how it was all prepared etc. Fascinating.

I can't really wrap my head around it neither, is it terrorism or not ?

On one hand it sure is - we don't know if it was the main goal, but it sure did instil fear and terror. Even in people that have nothing to do with the region.

On the other hand, it's pretty much as targeted as it gets. From what we know, the explosives were really small, installed in devices specifically used by their targets. I have hard time imagining any other way one could eliminate or incapacitate thousands of legimitate (in their view at least) targets without firing a single bullet and with so few other casualties (and yes, of course even a single one is too much).
Hold up, that skips over the crucial issue of triggering-logic.

It's reasonable to guess that these devices were made to only explode after a very unique code is is received, and/or only when traffic came over a radio channel known to be used by Hezbollah.

In contrast, an uninvolved civilian medical doctor buying a booby-trapped pager secondhand shouldn't be at significant risk, since before carrying the pager around all day they'll first configure it to use their hospital's radio network, which should only be broadcasting innocuous hospital messages.

> There is no question if an enemy set off hundreds of bombs in American ambulances we would recognize it as a mass terrorist attack.

However if those bombs were only triggered by the code "Immediate Mobilization" broadcast over a CIA/DIA pager network, then the real question would become why so many ambulance staff were holding down a second secret job as spies and soldiers.
This is new for Go? I remember learning about Java string interning decades ago in the context of xml parsers. If I remember correctly, there were even some memory leaks associated with it and thread locals?
That video cannot be seen without watching Jeremy Howard's rebuttal: I Like Notebooks. I also believe this was the video that got him kicked out of a conference(?) because it was too confrontational? Which was just ugly for a guy who clearly loves being an educator.

Interning is neat. Most of my experience is really dated. Primarily in the JVM, and mostly for class names, for reflection and class loaders. It's sort of surprising seeing this added to go, with its desires for minimalism. But when you can use it, it can be a big win.

Look past the "loading the whole book in memory" the author gets to the point soon enough.

The ip address example is ok. It's true, and highlights some important points. But keep in mind pointers are 64 bit. If you're not ipv6, and you're shuffling a lot of them, you're probably better off just keeping the uint64 and converting to string and allocating the struct as needed. interning doesn't appear to be much of a win in that narrow case. but if you do care about ipv6, and you're connecting to millions of upstreams, it's not unreasonable.

It's neat it's available. it's good to be aware of interning, but it's generally not a huge win. For a few special cases, it can be really awesome.

** edit
uint32 for ipv4. bit counting is hard.

I'm did not talk about Soviet expats but about possible active war supporters. Huge difference. And I want to be informed about this. Trying to turn this info some racism question is a load of bollocks.

I also explained in my deleted comment why this risk is higher in Georgia. Let's reiterate it then - many Russians emigrated to nearby Russian friendly countries to avoid conscription. This did not necessary happen because of their views. And even when their views are against the current government, these are not necessary against the Russian imperialism, like has been proven way too many times with multiple prominent examples like Navalny.

Now I really fancy how being against a form of racism (Russian imperialism) is somehow racist these days.

You're saying that if you modify the tor software, other clients will be able to tell before connecting to you? And you can't trick them into sending to a bad node?
so wait that means the model will be able to identify me in other data sets right
> the US has so many sanctions because the USD is so powerful

That's appealing to sanctions' effectiveness. It's unclear they are. Instead, they're a potent signalling mechanism that's more palatable than shipping arms or worse, soldiers.

Anyhow, using voice is sure often better, but in a call, where you can stop the interlocutor, and ask them clarifications or to get to the point...

Tell HN: Restack.io is spamming the web with bogus technical content
The last couple of weeks, when using Google to search for technical content, I've often stumbled upon AI-generated blog posts from Restack.io, a startup building AI developer tools. These all seem to be AI generated, and, critically, often seem to be either technically incorrect or at least highly misleading.

The blog posts in question have nothing to do with Restack's own products. They seem to have generated thousands of blog posts on all kinds of technical topics. For example, searching for "Streamlit icons", I found this page:

https://www.restack.io/docs/streamlit-knowledge-streamlit-icon-list-guide

which confidently tells one to use the "st.icon()" function to add icons to your Streamlit app. Streamlit has no such API, and never has; this is completely hallucinated information that was clearly generated by an LLM.

Last week I sunk about an hour into getting a "solution" proposed by a Restack blog post working, only to discover that the approach it was describing simply does not work.

Here's a page that tells you how to deploy Streamlit on AWS Amplify:

https://www.restack.io/docs/streamlit-knowledge-streamlit-aws-amplify-integration

This page is totally bogus. Streamlit is a Python package, and Amplify requires a Node.js program. What it is describing is impossible. But the article is very confident in its tone and wording, making it look like an easy matter of running a few commands. Someone who did not understand this fundamental limitation of Amplify and Streamlit working together could sink a _lot_ of time into trying to debug why it was not working.

Shockingly, they seem to have thousands of these AI-generated blog posts on their site. Here is just the list of the first 100 (out of more than 500) articles about Streamlit that they have generated:

https://www.restack.io/docs/streamlit/kb-index/0

I find this appalling in large part because Restack is an AI company. They are clearly doing this to boost their SEO, but in so doing they are wasting the time of good people who have jobs to do and are used to relying on Google searches to surface useful, relevant content. Even worse, I fear this Restack garbage will end up in the next web crawl used to train future AI models, which will now, themselves, hallucinate back the garbage that Restack has fed them.

Restack, you can do better. Please take down your broken and misleading AI-generated blog posts.

Ironically, once Google catches on that the entire Restack.io site is spam, they will probably stop showing up in any Google searches. I hope the SEO was worth it while it's still live.
> As for this patentpandas guy: there is lots of prior art... This guy is a naif.

You're a lawyer, whose job is reading shit, and you thought the protagonist was a man?

This is just stylistically razzing you. I am not this cynical and you are a qualified expert. The takeaway is that the status quo for patenting in software, and staff attorneys generally, is really unpopular, among highly educated people. There has to be major change.
I agree with you that the VSCode experience feels superior. It integrates a lot of the other various IDE widgets into the notebook experience. Code formatting, variable definitions, spell checker, non-garbage tier code hints, etc. The little timer noting the time it takes to run a cell alone is a huge boon.

My only complaint is how white space heavy the VSCode layout is by default. Probably can be customized, but I have never dug into it.
I don't want to go on a pdf hunt for the one perfect paper now, but years of social science and historical reading inclines me to believe that external attacks almost always unify rather than divide a population.

Consider how Gaza has been pounded mercilessly for most of a year now, with the burden falling mainly on civilians, but they're not turning on Hamas.
A nice video, though it missed one of the most interesting aspects of BGA packages: their ability to self-centre during soldering. If the misalignment is less extreme than in the video, surface tension will pull the BGA package into alignment. Here is an example

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz7ltWBDm7U

Notice how in the second part of the video, once the solder has melted, the body of the BGA moves so it is correctly centred over the PCB pads. This is happening by itself, without an external influence pushing the chip into position.
ACME DNS-01 Challenge doesn't need a public resolvable and reachable host, it just sets a temporary DNS record to verify.
The product itself looks good from some aspects so I'll recommend to try it out.

Also many people don't care where their money goes. Unfortunately I'm not one of such people.
Dude, chill. They're not merely some abstract rhetoric device for arguing about American policy. They're real people, and you can ask them how they feel about infant mortality dropping, starvation rates dropping, clean water access shooting up, education access increasing. You don't even have to fly down--loads of them now have internet access (and electricity!)

Yes, the US has done a bunch of really bad stuff, but a higher percentage of people having food and water and medicine is actually good. And yes, those real human beings tend to agree.
Not nitpicking at all. I just don't like how people see Linux as a "POSIX implementation". It's much more than that.

Practical compatibility is not compliance, the manuals document many subtle differences and incompatibilities. The practicality of it mostly comes from glibc which everyone uses and which does strive to be compliant. Even then it's a hit and miss, the so called "Linuxisms" crop up in the most unexpected of places. The executable path that people write in the shebang lines of their shell scripts, for example. It's gotten to the point some BSDs have started emulating Linux system calls instead of porting software. Even Windows did this once upon a time.

My point is glibc is not even guaranteed to exist on the system. POSIX is not at all mandatory on Linux. The POSIX interfaces are just one of the ways to interface with the kernel. It's also possible to bypass all the POSIX stuff and interface with it directly. Linux is the only operating system to offer this ability via the stable kernel-userspace binary interface. It's even defined at the instruction set level which makes it programming language agnostic. On Linux you actually can trash all that POSIX stuff and reinvent it all in Rust if you want.
It's faster for them to speak than write, and it's faster for you to read than hear.

Empathy equally applied would mean the message is never sent.
Why would your average American need to know what 20°C is in Fahrenheit? Very few people use Celsius here. All our appliances use Fahrenheit, weather reports use Fahrenheit, our recipes use Fahrenheit, and for science and physics we use Kelvin.
No, and HN is not the place for such dumb snark. Maybe you'd be happier on Titter or Reddit.

So someone extrapolated one video to making an “usually” argument? Without a source or data this is poor journalism
Interesting hypothesis; I would encourage you to test your hypothesis by moving to Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea, and help those countries to grow its might equal to US. And also see how hard your life becomes
Thanks for the comments! Yeah I was a bit surprised that some people seem to really not like the idea, other have had a lot of fun and posted plenty of funny messages.

Temporary solution: use Kagi search and block that website.
The term 'disingenuous' isn't about malice, it's about misleading comparisons. Equating the well-documented issue of micro/nanoplastics with hypothetical (and inaccurate) risks from glass muddies the water on a serious environmental problem. If you want to dispute the facts I presented about glass versus plastic safety, let's focus on that instead of tone policing.
You can already do that with simpler tools. I use OBS and revisit screen grabs when I need to. I can do some real work on the second display while paying the least attention to the noise. Most of the times I don’t need to revisit anything and the meeting comes and goes…
The issue I see is that this is pretty much the final boss for AI systems. Not because the tasks to do are inherently too difficult or whatever, but the integration of data and quality of that data is so variable that you just can't get something done reliably.

Compare this to codebase AI, where much of the data you need lies in your codebase or repo. Even then, most of these coding tools aren't even close to automating meaningful coding tasks in practice, and while that doesn't mean they can't in the future, it's a long ways off!

Now in the ops world, there's little to no guarantee that you'll have relevant diagnostic data coming out of a system that you need to diagnose it. That weird way you're using kafka right now? The reason for it is told via oral tradition on the team. Runbooks? Oh, those things that we don't bother looking at since they're out of date? ...and so on.

The challenge here is in effective collection of quality data and context, not the AI models, and that's precisely what's so hard about operations engineering in the first place.
>I mean is the AI going to read your sourcecode, read all your slack messages for context, login to all your observability tools, run repeated queries, come up with a hypothesis, test it against prod? Then run a blameles retrospective, institute new logging, modify the relevant processes with PRs, and create new alerts to proactively catch the problem?

Yes. That's exactly where this stuff is going right now.
Every? Source? Did they all explode?
This is a false dichotomy. There is more than enough room for both languages, and R is not attempting to replace python
They don't use encrypted data. They look at the metadata like packet size and timing and perform traffic correlation, which defeats Tor's primary purpose: hiding the connection between the source and destination of traffic.
I think this is the ideal spot.
I wouldn’t trust an agent doing remediation but I would gladly take input from them regarding services that are acting up or have a trend to disaster. This would improve using my time in what matters instead of cleaning data to determine what matters.
In a perfect world I’d like to provide my threshold or what success mean to the agent and expect information without me tweaking dashboards, configuring alerts, etc.
I'm surprised I don't see it more. You can't impose a regulatory burden more troublesome than your traffic is worth
Now to add additional problems. 1000 tor nodes on a single platform would be very noticeable and geographically limited. Platforms also have different weight attached to them in the consensus, which adds further time requirements before a node is promoted. The developers do not want a single platform provider to be able to observe a large portion of all the traffic, so there are counter measures.

The attacker could try to create a handful of accounts on hundreds of platforms in as many countries as possible, assuming one verify that the platforms accepts tor and do not share underlying providers and data centers. The cost would then be the average price of said providers, which is going to be a fair bit more than the cheapest providers out there. Managing and spreading them out is also going to cost a lot of man hours. Also the secops need to be fairly on the point and need to be maintained quite strictly across all the providers.
