I got fooled briefly when an audiobook started playing on youtube. It was autoplay and while doing something else I was listening in. Imagine a completely AI generated audiobook. When looking at comments and views I was saddened, most can’t tell.
They’re just trying to scare away people who thing they can chuck this on their car and suddenly have a self-driving robot that they don’t have to pay attention to.
The people won't have any understanding at all if they can't access Wikipedia. At this point radio astronomy has got to be hitting the long tail of scientific achievement. Unless someone can demonstrate otherwise, I'd be more concerned about the careers of the people still doing it rather than humanity's ability to understand the universe. The stars ain't going to change. Maybe you'll miss a few supernovas. If I were a radio astronomer I'd actually be rejoicing now, because this gives me a legitimate need for the budget required to build my own Hubble-like telescope, far away from Starlink.
Not to mention the layers of irony of me criticizing the arguments of AI about the AI criticizing its own ability and about someone who produced an article using AI to criticize the AI.
Some more than others. Oliver Smoot is the measure of the Harvard Bridge.

I focus on real problems and not the ones that bring the most income - the latter is politics, which is why I don't dabble in it. Politics was created as a distraction for the population, the idea that someone listens to them, and fights. Nothing could be further from the truth, and it's plain stupid.

Freedom of speech is when you see a problem and describe it exactly as what it is; no exceptions. Translate this into your long-post and come up with a single sentence to address it.
This was struck down in Ashcroft v Free Speech Coalition. A new bill, the PROTECT Act, came about. But it only bans CP artwork that is "virtually indistinguishable" from real photos. I suspect it too will be struck down if prosecutors attempt to use it.

You might be living under a rock? Every other github project has a "support ukraine" flag
> who stands to benefit from government investments in largescale infrastructure projects

I'm unsure if there's anyone in the country who wouldn't benefit from that. Hell, you can even wipe "government away", the essay talks at length about re-enabling private infrastructure investment too.

And who doesn't like infrastructure investment?
34 years for me -- and this looks a lot like 2000 to me.
Final para of article:

> “We can’t pinpoint why disputed tags backfired among Trump voters, but distrust of the platform may have played a role,” Blanchard said. “Given the conservative distrust of Twitter at the time, it’s possible Trump supporters saw the tags as a clear attempt to restrict their autonomy, prompting them to double down on misinformation.”

Claiming to believing the disputed and/or (objectively) ridiculous assertions of your own group's creeds and leaders has been a very common way to demonstrate group loyalty...since before the pyramids were built.

Maybe the Guardian is too shallow to know that; maybe this is just another "clicks pay the bills" story for those zealously opposed to Trump. Either way, one should never take the Guardian too seriously.
The way DH is used typically for encryption (ECIES) or in TLS doesn’t give you authentication. But you can get authentication from DH alone, without PSK or PKI. See https://neilmadden.blog/2021/04/08/from-kems-to-protocols/ for some details on the security properties of various types of DH.
I'm not claiming that there's no difference - just that with the limited tests I ran, preempt_rt is not nearly as good as xenomai.
One nitpick: It is not the fault of anybody that any of their intrinsic member groups (e.g. race, gender) have historically been advantaged, regardless of age (until they decide to explicitly fight for that bias).

I not only agree that doing this kind of social bias correction based on symptom addressal has eventual negative effects on others, I think holistically it's a net negative. Human nature makes this an almost impossible argument to present, but I really think it's just as damaging to actively disadvantage individuals for their intrinsic membership in a historically advantaged group as it is to passively disadvantage individuals for their intrinsic membership in a historically disadvantaged group.
My experience with SameSite equal None was to move it to Lax. Why? Because when a link in an email client is clicked and opens a site, the cookies are not sent.

For example, you sign up to a website (A). You get a verify email sent to your inbox. You open your inbox (site B) and click the link. The link opens (A) but you're not logged in automatically upon verification, you get logged out because the cookie wasn't sent (since you're coming from B).

It was quite disruptive to basic flows.

Listen to Al, he knows. Finding a job is 100% easier if you are employed. Scale back work efforts enough to find your next gig. Quit if you must, but know that it might be harder to land a job being unemployed.
> the typical reaction from an Element dev is “it works fine for me, make a PR or something”,

This is false. We check issues which people file and try to reproduce them, and we certainly don't ask randoms to contribute PRs to fix stuff - we'd much much rather fix them ourselves.

Meanwhile, you can see the issue stats at github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/issues and github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues - it's not like we're ignoring or failing to close issues.
That's a cool idea but I don't think it's er gonna fly. They should have gone for a flexible craft with a long, articulated body - like a snake. All those long, winding passages. The upright balloon can pass through them, but it can't deal with long _and_ low passages. A snake-like one could.

Why not enable a dynamic rental sector so people can move around the country to better jobs? Feels mean to trap people.
True, but I have worked at companies who employ users that maybe aren't entirely up to speed on the technical details and they have GitHub account's for submitting bug reports. This would very easily fool some of these people.

Technical people might spot this, but that also isn't a free pass for GitHub to not do better here.
England is a small country, smaller than the US state of Georgia. It's much easier to maintain way shorter roads with its much higher population density. Nonetheless, the rural roads in the US are generally of good to excellent quality.
This is how many (most?) session cookies work. Track the data on the backend, only send an identifier to the frontend.

The JWT and similar cookies exist for when you want to do scaling and such. You don't need much more than a user ID and a user name for many pages of a web application, your database may be in another continent, so you may as well store some variables in the client side. This has the added benefit of being able to put down as many frontends as you may need, integrating nicely with technologies like Kubernetes that can spawn more workers if the existing workers get overloaded.

By also encrypting the cookie, you can get rid of most of the backend state management, even for variables that should be hidden from the user, and simply decrypt+mutate+encrypt the cookie passed back and forth with every request, stuffing as many encrypted variables in there as can you can make fit.

They're also useful for signing in to other websites without the backend needing to do a bunch of callbacks. If a user of website A wants to authenticate with website B, and website B trusts website A, simply verifying the cookie with the public key (and a timestamp, maybe a n\_once, etc.) of website A can be enough to prove that the user is logged into website A. You can stuff that cookie into a GET request through a simple redirect, saving you the trouble of setting up security headers on both ends to permit cross-website cookie exchanges.

In most cases, signed cookies are kind of overkill. If all your application has is a single backend, a single database, and a single frontend, just use session cookies. This also helps protect against pitfalls in many common signed cookie variants and their frameworks.
Nike Intern to Nike CEO: Elliott Hill's 36-year-long career
Never book anywhere else but the airline website. It's not worth it, these days. There might be some deals but when and no longer if, IRROPS happens you will face an uphill battle to fix your problem playing a triangle between the airline and the OTA you booked with. Flying has changed: past covid and Boeing-being-shit-revealed there are not enough long range planes, in Europe because of the Ukrainian war Hungarian ATC is overwhelmed which creates ripple effects all over and nothing is on time. And that's just the regions I know about. https://travel.stackexchange.com/q/174173 has more.
Python has segfault issues, surprising exceptions and version incompatibility.

I've been using Linux/BSD for over a decade now. No C or C++ application has ever crashed, I cannot say the same about Python applications. Outright segfaults are rare but happen. Rogue exceptions are much more common and could basically have the same detrimental effect on a self-driving system as a segfault. And let's not talk about logic bugs due to version incompatibility and the obsessive rewriting of those who took control over CPython.
The part you seem to deliberately miss is that what is obvious to people deeply invested in Nix is not obvious to anyone else.

I for one can't trace the train of thought that is going from "intermediate build artifact" and somehow arrives at "derivation".

I found out just enough about Nix to reject it. My take is still informed, I simply didn't buy its pitch.
I’m a layman but I think I’ve understood this enough to repeat. The early universe is hypothesized to have been so uniform (gravity pulling in every direction) there was no net direction for anything to collapse to. Because the expansion was so quick, before the uniformity could be ruined due to quantum randomness, it expanded away from there being tons of or one giant black hole.

You also must remember the universe was always infinite (in this model). So for every particle there were particles in every direction from them, ie the universe not a point or point like because points have edges. It was (much much) denser, but still infinite and expanding from all regions.
> Even if you round up to 1,000 the number of ICS officers and dectuple to 10,000 you get a trivial number of returnees to the UK.

Why are we obsessed with restricting discussion to ICS? The bureaucracy is not just that, but extends throughout the entire service sector these people rely on, such as banking, schooling, transportation, manufacturing management and so on.

There is real denial going on here as to the extent of what happened.
Yay. https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/mat... is the bug you're complaining about so constructively. It's on the radar; we prioritised fixing unable-to-decrypt errors.
TLDR: Technology will magically solve all of our problems.

It also oddly mixes social justice and enviromentalism?

Also: take the example of the Ozone layer that the author mentions. It did not magically repair itself, but because the global nations got its stuff together and actually did something about it. Imagine HCFCs would have been handled like we handle CO2 today: not with legislation banning it with a definitive end date, but by putting some kind of low tax on it that might rise in the future, but maybe not.

I don't know, I understand the point that the autor tries to make, but it all feels not thought through to the end.
I meant the UK.

Domestic production of goods such as televisions, radios and even extremely high technology such as tractors has been declining since the 70's.

If you go far enough back (100y or so) then "imported" usually referred to raw materials, spices or very exotic equipment such as furniture - the supply chain and tooling was mostly domestic.
We've published a new article diving into the evolving landscape of human-AI collaboration and its potential to reshape productivity. In particular, we explore how emerging AI tools, like large language models, are not just automating tasks but enhancing the creative and decision-making capacities of knowledge workers. The piece looks at specific case studies in software development, content creation, and other high-skill fields, highlighting the transformative role of AI in enabling faster, more informed workflows.
Yes and it was never a point, it was just much much denser but still infinite. And so uniform there was no net direction for collapse before expansion took over.
British GDP per capita has been flat since 2008 while the US’ has gone from $49K to $81K. The UK has declined in relative terms compared to what used to be a near peer.
I think there are some points of substance here, and agree that it's very important to continue breaking the link between economic growth and resource consumption. For better or worse, caring about the environment is a luxury good, and we want people to be able to afford it.

However, some of this also strikes me as wildly uncharitable. For example: "For too long we have been sold the myth that we should be concerned about so-called ‘overpopulation’, but this has been proven to be nonsensical fearmongering."

It is for the moment not our biggest concern, but it absolutely wasn't a myth or nonsensical fearmongering. The overpopulation-and-crash cycle happens for a lot of species. This only changed for humans very recently, with the invention of birth control and women getting enough power to use it. That's not universal and is under political threat right now, and even if we keep it, resource usage is still proportional to the number of people. A population crash would be a bad thing, but absent radical technological changes, "protecting the planet" will require at least keeping the population stable, and a couple of centuries of very modest population decline would help.
I somehow keep ending up working at places where 90% of the employees grew up with staff in the house. Dozens of people with wikipedia pages about their families.
New AI Dialogue Scheme Based on WebRTC
- Based on WebRTC

Unlike WebSocket, which is used by most traditional AI voice dialogue systems, WebRTC uses the UDP protocol, reducing communication latency by minimizing handshake and acknowledgment processes. Ideally, latency can be as low as milliseconds (below 300ms globally), providing a more real-time voice interaction experience.

- Noise Reduction Provided

- Support Multi Platforms
Is It Good Design?
My theory for most of these cases: they would need permission from who knows what department(s) to set up a subdomain of the main domain for their project, and it's easier to just purchase a new domain for the team/project.
Exactly. Nazi now so overused as a term for "someone who disagrees with my ritcheous beliefs", as a way to dehumanize them, to easily justify violence against them. Basically exactly what the Nazis did to justify their actions.

Like Antifa and "Bash the fash".
There are quick ways to setup a satisfying dev exp for small teams for full stack apps in terms of what will get you going for a while:

1. Git based CI/CD pipelines.

2. Multiple and arbitrarily configured amount of instances.

3. Easy rollbacks, no off time deployments.

4. Different set of environments. Branch/PR based preview links.

5. Out of the box E2E frameworks, etc.

I do agree however that you need someone in the first place to know that those things exist, but in a start up that would just be one experienced eng who is aware that they exist.

But they are standard in terms of that these are things that 99% of SaaS based Start Ups would definitely want.
Since there are conserved quantities like energy and angular momentum it is impossible that everything just collapses. If something collapses, there is usually a large amount of matter which does not collapse to carry away the energy and momentum of the collapsing stuff.
> You can serve consent form only to the connections from EU.

Why? While I get that, if tracking is part of someone's business model, they want to track as many people as possible, I doubt it would be illegal to give also people that aren't in the EU the option to not be tracked. If it really would be so expensive to be compliant while also differentiating between users connecting from the EU and users connecting from outside the EU, why not just give everyone the option to choose if they want tracking as a measure to cut compliance cost?

Ask HN: One-man SaaS, how do you attract customers?
I'm struggling with attracting customers to my SaaS, while having to navigate the bullshit advice thrown around by so called "indie-hackers".

Paying for ProductHunt, or building a Twitter audience, probably works if you sell to other indie hackers. But when you have a product that is designed to solve a problem, like I do, I believe a different approach is needed.

I tried to build content around the service, to hit popular keywords, and while it works to some extent, it seems to die off quickly. I tried ads, but the CPC is too high, and since I don't operate on a subscription model it doesn't make economic sense. I also tried so-called passive marketing, i.e., monitoring keywords related to my service on, say, Reddit, and replying with a real (not-AI generated) reply with a link to my service, needless to say, I was banned.

So, one-man SaaS owners, how do you attract customers?
+1 Google’s NotebookLM is amazing. In addition to the functionality you mention, I tried loading the PDF for my entire Practical AI Programming with Clojure book and had it generate an 8 minute podcast that was very nuanced - to be honest, it seriously blew my mind how well it works. Here is a link to the audio file it automatically generated https://markwatson.com/audio/AIClojureBook.wav

NotebookLM is currently free to use and was so good I almost immediately started paying Google $20 a month to get access to their pro version of Gemini.

I still think the Groq APIs for open weight models are the best value for the money, but the way OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc. are productizing LLMs is very impressive.
how is it similar?
This reminds me of a joke about "windows users waiting for the service pack while macos is always stable" that a friend always rubbed in my face whenever I had some issue with windows a decade ago.

And that I just sent a message yesterday to my team to wait before installing sequoia... But now I'll use your target of .4.
Two authors (so, one, lol)!

Truly impressive, congrats to the young grad :D.
The real kicker is trying to prove which leak your SSN came from. If your SSN gets leaked by 3 different companies, and 6 months later someone uses your identity to commit some crime, you can't have each company share 1/3 of the blame.
Again, according to reporting, these bombs were placed specifically in pagers that were were for Hezbollah member's use. The reporting suggest that it was a shipment of pagers for Hezbollah members.

Again, if we want to wait a bit more and see more reporting, then update, I'm all for it. But it's been a few days, and Hezbollah has already claimed that most of the people killed by pagers were their members, iirc. We also all know of the horrible and tragic death of one 9-year-old girl.

I haven't seen any reporting suggesting that there were many civilians harmed. I've certainly heard many people claiming that civilians could've been harmed, but I'd think that if there were many civilian victims, in this day and age of social media and instant communication, we'd have heard about them. I at least haven't.

Again, totally willing to change my mind. But my prior is to trust Israel to not do some kind of indiscriminate attack. Add to this reporting saying that this was targeted, add to this that several days later there aren't stories of massive civilian casualties - for now, I think it was a targeted attack.
Diatoms reproduce by separating the two halves of their shell and regrowing a new half. It seems to me that it would be difficult to predict the shape without an existing half shell. If anything, the shape is probably mostly determined by the shape of the existing shell; if a parent is damaged and a chunk is missing, you want to make a new half shell that seals up against that half instead of the shape it's "supposed" to be.
You can use IOFlood for something similar to Hetzner (if a much smaller operation).
Yeah I’m so torn. It’s honestly the best browser UX I’ve seen, the right combination of vertical tabs, auto archiving, spaces/collections, sync, etc. I don’t care for Easels, but the core is good.

Except… the growth hacks have started to creep in. They overlay an advert for their own AI services on top of regular Google search results pages in their mobile app. Not even a browser chrome UI element, it’s literally over the page content. That feels like a huge violation of what it means to be a browser.

I don’t want their AI features. I don’t want growth hacks. I don’t want to sign in except for sync. I’d happily pay $40 a year for Arc as a product-focused-product, but as a VC-focused-product it’s heading downhill.
Agreed especially after the reckless pager attack last week. Imagine the shit storm if Russia had done this to Ukraine.

However I still believe that science, sports and arts should be non-political. No one should be banned for being born at the wrong spawn point.
Consumers want lots of things but they don't want to pay. They pay indirectly via advertising.
omg I want this to work so much. But the first message i send on element x crashes the app. (counter party did not have all devices verified)
Huge agree. I didn’t realize this applied to me the first time I saw this story yesterday. It was the rename that got me to click.

Honestly I strongly feel the title should be “fundamental bug in Arc browser (CVE 123-4567)” or similar.
We did improve things massively (like, 5x) with Faster Remote Room Joins: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/390... and https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/syna....

We did all the super-hard groundwork to make non-atomic joins possible - but then ran out of time & $ to go further (plus none of the Element paying customers are complaining about it). There's another order of magnitude speedup to be had there, though.

Between this and https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/mat... we should be able to fix things unrecognisably, but just haven't got there yet.

> Matrix is mostly a victim of the government forks taking up their time in different directions instead of having just one app like signal.

It's a double-edged sword. On one hand, it generates $ to work on Matrix. On the other hand, it means that if none of the $-payers care about faster remote room joins, they get deprioritised :|
Depends on what you call the accident. However, we will only know after November 5th.

I don't think that's actually a fact. I don't know what figures you're using, but eyeballing the Global Social Mobility Index puts the UK as pretty middling in Europe. Less mobile than France or Germany, more so than Italy, Spain, or Poland.
Errsole.js: Collect, Store, and Visualize Logs with a Single Module in Node.js
That’s one hypothesis, but the honest answer is that no one knows. This technology is too new, and the effects on the knowledge graph of censoring some sub components is too complicated to currently grasp.
