I mean, if there's no mechanism for deploying firmware updates, they took off the jtag headers or burned some fuses or blew a programmable-once ROM, there may be no way to deploy updates short of dismantling the car and swapping out a couple major boards. That might well count as "can't".
I actually spend a lot of time curating my feed and ensuring the algorithm shows me the type of content I want to see, so I haven’t personally felt that moderation is out of control. From my experience, both the posts and the ads I see are pretty relevant and aligned with my interests.

The situation now is much worse than before COVID. That much is obvious. There are two major wars involving developed nations which were not happening then
That's an assertion, not evidence.
Same here, only issue I’ve ever had was when my email address had the name of the company in it in the format of spamlklcompanyname@domain.com
CS people are sometimes confused by that and I’ve been accused of attempting to hack them by a small shop online because of my email.

YMMV, but this can be usually mitigated by connecting to a machine in a datacentre at work and doing all the stuff there (like building and uploading docker images).

That's assuming they have access to the private key used to sign the firmware though...

My 2019 Kia Niro has some not-worthwhile connected service you can simply say No to. It is then a fully offline car. Assigning ownership involves handing someone the key fob.
Yeah, like with everything in healthcare. Treatments are almost always harmful in some way, what counts is the benefit/risk ratio.
My experiences with actual nationalised companies does not support this; in general they are no more likely to support innovation or good design that supports other industries than the private sector, but they absolutely will create legal issues when trying to innovate around them.

Telecoms in Australia is probably the best modern example I can think of, the nbn was given a monopoly and now delivers an expensive inferior product, and there is no real way to compete or innovate around it.

It doesn't exactly take them out of the market, it just creates a enterprise with legal protections and non market motivations for what it actually does.
Interestingly, public U.S. state property records will just disclose where you live whether you like it or not. With as little as your name, a home address is trivial to find.
Again, if you would like to get assistance with this issue, you will need to open a ticket per our policies and I will have this investigated. I will not be able to engage further on these posts, as your claim is invalid; the price is just higher than you would like it to be.

I was gonna ask how do you do this whole thing if you have a workplace that uses Teams instead of Slack, but I guess you answered in a way.
But that behavior was just determined to be illegal, at least when the bidder is Google. It seems ridiculous if the sequence of events that happens here is:

1. Google is fined/broken up due (in part) to paying for the default search engine position.

2. In the newly broken off chrome company, they auction the default search engine position.

3. Google cannot bid on it. So I guess Microsoft is going to win that position? Who else is going to pay for it?

I can't imagine this is what happens. This would just make the DoJ look absolutely foolish and would basically put the DoJ in the position of being Microsoft's personal attack dog. But on the other hand, what else could happen? It's still ridiculous even if it's anyone other than Microsoft that is the winning bidder.
you too? then why is your comment here?
One of the most valuable life lessons is you can't get anyone else to care about what you want them to care about basically ever. You need to focus on the things you can control and one of the things you can't control is what someone else is going to care about.

So if you want something done and someone else has to agree, you have to figure out how the thing you want coincides somehow with their interests and concerns.

Then you explain the thing you want to them in terms of how it advances/affects the interests and concerns of the other person. So in the framing of TFA, product are never ever ever under any circumstances going to give a shit about your architecture proposal (because that is entirely in the domain of your concerns). But they may care about how the architecture is going to prevent them from delivering features that are on the roadmap coming up and how you have a solution that can fix that for example (because now you are in the domain of their concerns). Notice this is not just "your architecture proposal", it is how your architecture proposal is going to get them what they want, and if you want to do this you need to think deeply and make sure you really understand what they want, not just what you want.

You're not trying to change their mind. You're trying to get what you want by showing them how it will also get them something they want.

I'm putting this here because I really wish someone had told me this 25 years ago near the start of my career.
The book "Inside the Apple IIe" had a program to digitize voice from the cassette port (https://archive.org/details/InsideTheAppleIIe/page/n341/mode...). The results were shockingly good.

I never had a IBM PC w/ a cassette port, but reading thru this article I see that EA's Music Construction Set had an option to output sound on the cassette port. It looks like the digitization method "Inside the Apple IIe" uses (looking for zero-crossings and making a 1-bit square wave approximation of the sampled audio) would work on the PC hardware.
I don’t use AI directly with my kids, but I’ve introduced it to my younger nephews and niece (all under 10 years old). I’ve shown them how to use ChatGPT similarly to how I used to teach them to search for information on Google.

Because the responses can be quite long or complex, I guide them on how to prompt ChatGPT for simpler, shorter answers. I see it more as a tool that I’m teaching them to use, like I would if I were introducing a calculator. I also emphasize using the word “research” in their prompts, especially when it’s for factual topics related to school.

Interestingly, while the older generation in our household doesn’t use ChatGPT much, the kids found out about it from their schoolmates. They’re familiar with it but not yet using it to its full potential. I encourage them to experiment safely, and I also suggest using Perplexity as an alternative since it’s more grounded for research purposes. Plus, they’re using my ChatGPT Plus subscription, so I try to help them maximize the experience without getting overwhelmed by too much information.
I'm thinking that at least with phones you can get an Android and pretty much take it over fully and still have all the services^. I wonder if that will ever happen for cars.

Never in my entire life have I said it's not possible for the AI image generation process to include a lot of creative decisions. In fact, I've repeatedly said the opposite. Like I said, you're attacking positions I don't have.

I use prompt-based generative AI in creative ways as part of my professional processes all the time. And you know what? They are nowhere close to being useful for generating anything that plays a significant on-screen role in high-end media creation. Anybody who says they are does not know how different the requirements for high-end use cases are.

You're using me as a proxy to toe the line of a ridiculous ideological polemic that I have nothing to do with. If you want to argue with someone that has the uniform, standard-issue set of anti-AI opinions you expect to encounter so you don't have to consider your arguments too much, there's like thousands of them right over on reddit. Easy.
AI Pioneers Hopfield and Hinton Win 2024 Nobel in Physics
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton for breakthroughs in artificial neural networks is a groundbreaking recognition of AI's deep roots in physics. Their work laid the foundation for modern machine learning, driving the AI boom we see today. It's fascinating to see how these interdisciplinary contributions have reshaped both technology and our understanding of intelligence. As AI continues to evolve, this award reminds us of the critical role foundational science plays in transformative innovation. What’s next for AI is anyone's guess, but it’s certainly going to be exciting!

The Kelly criterion on doing or not doing the treatment is all in, all the time.

Ha, same here. Including photos of my house (well, actually my neighbor's house) and everything.

I'd be worried if 1) I hadn't seen many versions of similarly creative extortion emails over the years, and 2) if they hadn't use some obvious "donotspamCompanyThatWasHacked@mydomain".

Sadly, I can see how this may trick some people into sending money to scammers.
In my experience a lot of it comes down to “proof of effort”

We had a position that received around 1000 applicants.

Only around 200 had the most basic keywords the job required, like “python” and “SQL”

Only around 50 of those had a cover letter.

Only around 20 of the cover letters mentioned our company by name.

Only 1 applicant called the office and asked to speak with us.
I work in sales too, and what I do is use a leads list and leverage AI tools that track activities or posts from the contacts on that list. I’ve integrated this data into my emailing tool, so I can see when a contact has been active and adjust my outreach accordingly.

I use leadbird.io, but I’m sure there are other tools that do the same. Honestly, I haven’t seen a significant boost in conversion just by using these tools so I guess it all comes down to being targeted and relevant when reaching out. If a customer sees the value in your product, these tools can be helpful, but sometimes it just adds noise. To each their own, though! You can also outsource this process if you prefer not to handle it yourself.

My wife. She began on a bet that there was no such thing as talent, she could learn the thing she was worst at. Wound up with everyone telling her how much talent she had. Annoyed the heck out of her.

She did it by being willing to throw herself into whatever she did full force, and by believing that any subject she tried to learn could be structured in a hierarchical way.

I wish I could say more, but I met her after she did this. (She's back to being a software developer these days - it pays more.)
How to Win Friends and Influence People. I know it’s such a basic book, but it really gave me a head start when I was surrounded by bullies and a toxic family culture. It served as a guideline on how to interact with people when I didn’t have a role model to look up to.

It has helped me a lot in understanding how to respect others and navigate social interactions. I found it really grounding and useful, especially during times when I needed a framework for building healthy relationships.
The plumber example is quite good, but I prefer the modern car mechanic that connects a computer to a car and reads out things usually even they don't understand which have to be fixed and no one can explain anything but 'engine bad'.

Most of the Product people I work with and have worked with collapse easily under technical arguments, but most engineers I work with barely know what they are doing. Only yesterday I (external consultant) asked the tech lead to scp a file from a to b during a workshop zoom where I showed them how to use some new tools and, while he always talked in front of the cto and head product about ssh and scp and his linux chops, he had no clue; he started to download gui tools (windows) and after he was done he still couldn't. I ended up copying the f'ing file to chat (I have no access to their internal systems). This is the guy they trust with core products dev that runs the company.

He gets away with it because he talks in difficult tech bla to the cto and product (both MBAs); he keeps using terms from kubernetes (they don't use kubernetes and the guy cannot use docker) and 'things he did in the past' at 'much larger companies' and you can see Product go to his happy place during calls. In the end he lets tech do whatever they want as he understands nothing and gets so much tech babble that he cannot even figure out what to ask.

We (small company fixing emergency tech stuff; for this client, it turns out that the emergency is basically their tech department; it's staffed with 100% incompetent people who are decades out of date) hop around a lot and this is very very common; on HN we read about flowers and fairy tales of covering tests, 10x programmers, migrations, kubernetes/containers, git, security etc; in reality however people are sending zip files with dates in them, updating the prod db manually and copy pasting files in whatsapp because they don't understand ssh works (what even IS there to understand ...) and tests? What is that? And these are companies that make more than your startup will ever make statistically.

I am going to say that generally the plumber gets his way in the world, the fear of leaks, water or sewage, is enough for people who know nothing about plumbing (it's all pipes!).
An issue is for most sites/services an email has just become a standard authentication method, rather than something that can easily be more unique per account. So any usernames across sites/services that share it identify that user as being the same person (for data broker profiling, doxxing, etc), which is the privacy issue (not the email address per se, unless it perhaps contained one's real name).

For contrast truly unique email aliases for example aren't possible on common services like free Gmail*, only things like self-hosting/certain paid email hosts, which makes less feasible for many. So from a privacy perspective while in an ideal world everyone would be able to freely create entirely unique per-account creds we're mostly stuck with the email implementation.

* One could create entirely separate accounts but it's high friction and IIRC the same phone number (now a requirement) can only be used for 2-3 accounts.
People will talk about his different contribution to economy and philanthropy. However, my favorite is the story where he instructed his hotel employees to treat stray dogs well if they enter the premises. For a man of his wealth and power, to care about a stray dog truly speaks to his humble nature. RIP Sir, you were a crown jewel of the post independence India.

He was one of the few industrialists who gave capitalism a good name. He was never one to do ostentatious displays of wealth or buy islands. He used his vast wealth and influence in the best possible way.

RIP.
>How large is the pool of available candidates for this language? A recruiting risk.

I worked at a company with a massive Erlang codebase. Really nasty, not really following good OTP practices, etc. HUGE hiring problem and it took 6-12 months to spin up new devs to the point that they could really have ownership over things. And this is not a system that even remotely needed this.

Elixir might seem better until you write enough of it to realize that you do basically have to learn Erlang or else you'll always be at a disadvantage when it comes to really understanding it.
Yes, but not a domesticated species, and so any comparisons with dogs are limited.
"Fine" article, my fine internet stranger.
As someone who stays far from politics, ratan tata and tata group in particular are the extraordinary entities who do opposite of enshitification.

They dont cut corners (like everyone) and are highly regarded as being genuinely good.

Case in point. From a tax perspective, historically reliance indistries was always known for being sneaky around taxes, dodging taxes, finding loopholes and such.

Tata OTOH, they are historically regarded as being much more honest and trustworthy in this regard.

Yeah and how are you supposed to get those skills if no one is hiring you?
Indeed. Things I've used before are: "product speed is declining, see this chart. We must make these optimization to stay acceptable." And for example "We must migrate to this hosting model to keep compute costs down."
Somehow this feels like it could backfire spectacularly.

In a world where email costs ten cents to send (per receiver) email addresses need not be private. In our world? They kinda need to for sanity.

Help me sir
I don't have evidence but I do have experience on this.

I'm not sure why you would be the quickly dismissive of something that would seem obvious to many.
I'm right handed; when I experimented with writing with my left hand, I discovered that it's much easier to write "in mirror", right to left, using mirrored cursive characters. (also slanted in mirror)

Solves the problem with the hand overlapping the fresh writing and produces some funky-looking text.
None of that information is actually private though. Your home address and personal phone number are likely in the public record for any number of reasons, such as ownership records or court filings. Or maybe a Facebook post from 2009 that your mom made. Unless you're one of the 0.00001% of people who do things like rotate your phone number and address annually, it's out there somewhere.

But public vs private is a spectrum, not a binary true/false. My phone number is public because I get sales calls from various companies to it. It's annoying, but bearable. But there's a big gap between that and the New York Times putting my name, number and picture on the front page.

So your home address and phone number aren't private. But they're also not readily accessible unless someone is really dedicated to finding them, so they're not quite public either.
For me it's not the language concepts that are hard, it's that things are sometimes very different and if you come from other languages it's easy to make wrong assumptions.

One resource I would highly recommend after the basic stuff people always recommend is a book called "Learn Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists".
I don’t know, it seems like Linux has always has a 10-20% advantage over windows when running these types of benchmarks about as far back as I can remember.

"Steve Jobs on Taking a Calligraphy Class"

I mean, it’s a ‘water is wet’ kind of statement. Prisoners aren’t provided a mobile phone and data plan either.
It took me about a minute to find an instance of list linking in Java sources (OpenJDK):

class JVMCIRuntime: public CHeapObj<mtJVMCI> {
../
JVMCIRuntime* _next;

The Linux kernel has list linking all over the place. Userland libraries and utilities ditto.

I don't think I've ever worked on a C++ or C project that had no linked lists anywhere. I'm trying to think of an example but coming up blank.

Quite often but not always linked lists in C are intrusive. Certain object are going to be put into exactly one list. Or more than my list but only one at a time. So the link pointer or pointers are embedded into that object. And so no memory allocation is required to insert those objects into a list. A classic example of this is putting a process structure onto a scheduling queue. You would never want a vector for this, for reasons that a professional such as yourself should understand.
Most of those models DO do zero shot cloning. The best is VoiceCraft. It's nearly 11Labs quality. Check it out.
The timing of those two scenarios is different.

Either the abuser walked in while the person was still on the page with the big red button or not. It is not faster to press the big red button or shift 3 times than it is to close a tab.
Yes, that is dated and hasn’t been supported by more recent science.
