Ask HN: With iOS 18 did messaging become way stupider?
Myself and friends have found since iOS 18, autocorrect and just messaging in general is more aggressive with and out right inane with it's auto correct attempts.

Are others seeing this?

Hypothetical.

In my experience, they say "your credit card is failing, please give us another one." Because credit cards fail all the time. It's not Red Alert.

You go to the page to change your credit card, and THEN you usually can find the "cancel my account" link. As long as you're not still using their service, you don't owe anything. They cancel you, and that's that. No collections agency.

If someone has an actual event, not a hypothetical, speak up.

Road building and maintenance avoided?
Thanks, but I still don’t understand why I get the pedantry when I call this a tense, but the founding fathers of English grammar walk scot-free by calling it “present perfect tense” instead of “present tense perfect aspect”? Why is this even a debate with me specifically, I don’t get it :)

It’s obvious that tenses that serve other functions can also be called a tense, and yet keep their supplemental grammatical roles. Why is there a resistance to accept this in my case? :)

At least in the US, those taxes are nowhere near enough to pay for maintenance, let alone new construction. The rest is a straight subsidy from the general fund, typically paid for by passing the debt to our children.
I think the more relevant constraint that you are touching on is ego, big directors with big budgets can and do make great films often, so I don’t think a limited budget is really the necessary factor. I do think losing the ability to self criticize is one of the things we see over and over again in big artists but some do seem to manage it despite massive success.

If I leapfrog over my generally cold attitude towards Lisp-like languages and my habit of Vim keys, the main problem is Emacs's sluggishness, even if it is natively compiled. Neovim fully packed with plugins, LSPs, settings and etc without lazy loading (!) is so much faster.

I expect many books are on the radar of would-be opponents because they are either a) revered classics that are often part of school reading lists, or b) books that are popular. Though I can understand wanting to restrict books with instructions for harming others or oneself (even if such information is readily available on the internet.) I can also see why many revered but subversive children's books might be opposed (but of course that's what makes them so great!)

My take is that the greatest threat to public (and university) libraries (along with budget and hour reductions, a general decline in reading, etc.) is copyright law, which currently does not permit a first sale doctrine for ebooks or non-physical digital media and generally stands in the way of building practical and sustainable digital library collections. Innovations such as scanning printed collections and making them available remotely as ebooks or audiobooks, or making music or video collections available remotely, are also prohibited.

Repeating a previous comment on the FAA:

--

We need an administration that will greenlight Starship flights immediately, so that the pace of its development can increase. The FAA is currently far too conservative in approving launches, by overindexing on the local risks posed by launches relative to the global risks of delaying space expansion.

--

I'll also add that the US could potentially massively benefit if regulatory agencies like the FAA switched from pre-market approval to post-market surveillance. This article explains the difference and singles out the FAA and how we could have had actual "flying cars" by now had its regulatory approach been like the Department of Transportation's (DOT):

At my kid's public school in SF, there is one girl who lives the projects that was the first to have a cell phone, like 2nd or 3rd grade. And there are definitely well-off parents who are pushing no phone (and no video games, in some cases) now in 4th grade, with some kids having a watch or phone as needed for club sports etc.

But the divide is much less rich vs. poor and more about parental involvement (which has some obvious economic relation, but a stable home life seems more relevant).

On the othe hand, I know some families at private schools and those kids seem much less regulated phone-wise.

I mean.. that is absolutely something the bootstrap/reproducibility folks would flag as a problem. Heck, https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2023/the-full-source-bootstrap-... went to great extremes to bootstrap a C compiler through the all-important gcc 4.9 (which comes up constantly in these efforts because it was the last gcc that builds without a C++ compiler).

I think he's saying if you set temp to 0 and answers become deterministic, it will appear that the model is just memorising and reciting. The randomness is a hack that 'forces' the model to generalise by deliberately knocking it off the track of the most probable next token
Yes. I agree with the sentiment that UUIDv7 being chronological can be useful. But, in this specific example, I think it’s a design smell to design your feature around the format of the filename and UUID generation algortihm. I’d say, wait for the FS if you have to instead of creating failure-prone dependencies like that.

La tournure correcte, "voudrait" n'est en pratique que très peu utilisée pour le témoignage indirect au quotidien.

Linux's dominance might still have emerged due to the individuals behind it. Beyond Torvalds' work on the kernel, Richard Stallman and others had a significant influence in shaping its early trajectory. Their philosophies and actions were key in driving the open-source movement forward.

The BSD license, while appealing to corporations due to its permissive nature, allows proprietary entities to incorporate the code into their products without giving back to the community. This has happened multiple times, with examples like Apple's Darwin, NetApp, QNAP, and Sony's PlayStation systems.

The GPL, on the other hand, attracted early contributors because it ensured that their work would remain open and shared with the world, rather than being exploited for profit.

Every bookstore nowadays, front and center, has a 'banned book' section. It's practically a meme. In the article you linked, no books were removed from the shelves.

It's the definition of an imaginary threat.

The books that are actually banned, the ones that were forced out of print, not available in public libraries and cost hundreds or thousands for a used copy? They are right-leaning politically.

> If I am not mistaken, it wasn't zendesk that didn't want to recognize the bug

While it's unclear at which stage Zendesk became involved, in the "aftermath" section it's clear they knew of the H1 report, since they responded there. And later on the post says:

"Despite fixing the issue, Zendesk ultimately chose not to award a bounty for my report. Their reasoning? I had broken HackerOne's disclosure guidelines by sharing the vulnerability with affected companies."

The best care scenario as I see it is that Zendesk has a problem they need to fix with their H1 triage process and/or their in and out of scope rules there. And _none_ of that is the researcher's problem.

The worst (and in my opinion most likely) scenario, is that Zendesk did get notified when the researcher asked H1 to escalate their badly triaged denial to Zendesk for review, and Zendesk chose to deny any bounty and tried to hide their vulnerability.

> As an aside, I wonder if those bounties in general reflect the real value of those bugs. The economic damage could be way higher, given that people share logins in support tickets.

I think it's way worse than that, since internal teams often share logins/secrets/API keys (and details of architecture and networking that a smart blackhat would _love_ to have access to) in thei supposedly "internal" Slack channels. I think the fact that non Zendesk "affected companies" paid out $50k sets that as the absolute lower bound of "the real value of those bugs. And it's _obvious_ that the researcher didn't contact _every_ vulnerable Slack-using organisation. I wonder how much more he could have made by disclosing this to 10 or 100 times as many Slack using organisations, and delaying/stalling revealing his exploit POC to Zendesk while that money kept rolling in?

I'll be interested to see if HackerOne react to this, to avoid the next researcher going for this "second level" of bug bounty payouts by not bothering with H1 or the vulnerable company, and instead disclosing to companies affected by the vulnerability instead of the companies with the vulnerability? It's kinda well known that H1 buy bounties are relatively small, compared to the effort required to craft a tricky POC. But people disclose there anyway, presumably party out of ethical concerns and partly for the reputation boost. But now we know you can probably get an order of magnitude more money by approaching 3rd party affected companies instead of cheapskate or outright abusive companies with H1 bounties that they choose to downvalue and not pay out on.
It really depends hard on the quality of the systems firmware, i.e. the BIOS/UEFI, no matter if laptop or desktop/thinclient.

I recently got some obsolete/EOL thinkcenters for homelabbing fun. They do S3(suspend to RAM) with everything I've thrown at them. Even most exotic stuff like https://genode.org/ (though only running 'live' from the USB-Image that they offer, didn't install so far). FreeBSD did it, NetBSD did it, various Linux Distros did it, without exception. The one currently running does it, too, without having had to setup anything.

Be it via the little power-button on the front, or some hot-key combination choosable from the UEFI, OR simply another hot-key delivered by the keyboard. In my case that blue thing between ALT-GR and right-CTRL+F12, then slapping any key afterwards turning it back on. (might by undesirable if you have cats, kids, whatever)

Anyways, WITHOUT exception! I did try this like mad, off'n on off'n on like a stroboscope, at least a 100 times.

You could put a small compressor outside and connect a well-insulated hose to pump the refrigerant inside, just like a split system air conditioner. Then the noise in your bedroom will be no worse than the occasional hum of a fridge in the other room.

As someone who lives in a humid climate, I wouldn't even think of using an evaporative cooler anywhere in my home, for any purpose, period. It's either compressors or nothing.
What are some examples of books that have actually been forced out of print?
My experience with psychedelics is the following: they shift your perception of things temporarily. The way the "adjustment" works is that you are able to "see" and "touch" experiences you could not before, because they would have annihilated you. They open a door to re-living things and re-processing. Hard for me to see that you would come out of that "broken", if there's nothing to process your trip will be a pleasant high.

Which is not to say that psychedelics (LSD, 2C-B, Mescaline, Psilocybin) are not powerful stuff and that they allow for mental states that would be unlivable otherwise (clinically that would be schizophrenia or something like it). I do believe that their therapeutical and recreational benefits do outweigh the drawbacks though. There must be a better way to handle this than Schedule-1'ing the whole bunch.
That doesn't matter now. Gamers will vote with their dollar, and they are fickle.

You are a sucker if you are using a platform like HackerOne. I reported a bug (Crypto Exchange, Bitmex) 5 years ago. It was not a critical bug, but still. The team kept the bug report open for 5 years; I assume so that it doesn't affect their payout score. They recognized the bug. After 5 years they closed it. Zero communication.

If you value your time and your health, don't use these platforms. If platforms want security, they can hire people by the hour/day and pay them the relevant wages.
The solution to "this text editor takes too long to start up" is poorly addressed by the solution to "just leave it running in the background all the time".

I guess we have a different definition of put downs eh? Noted, thanks.
Yeah, but it's structured in a way to encourage learning and "true". A map is good. A map with annotations and routes drawn is better even if the focus is on some landmarks and some elements are missing. A fantasy map is worthless.
I can imagine that training only leads to bearing fruit in other companies if the junior/intern decides to leave.
The astronauts drew straws, and Sandy Koufax had the bad fortune to draw the short straw. He would stay behind to roll tape while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were to return home. The two astronauts would remain suited for the ascent. Buzz Aldrin would monitor the instrument consoles while Neil Armstrong was to remain tethered to the open hatchway in what was later termed "a daring attempt" to recover the film canister thrown by Sandy Koufax. Unfortunately Neil Armstrong was unable to recover the canister. He described it whizzing past his gloved fingers merely inches away during the docking maneuvers with the command module. No one knows what became of the footage. To this day it is likely tumbling around the cold dark expanse of space, perhaps as a new lunar satellite.

... and that's why we don't have footage of the lunar ascent.

The complete opposite of the tragedy of the commons
A lot of research seems to suggest that cold (something like 62F-68F) is indeed better for sleep. It makes sense if you think about it "evolutionarily" or whatever. Basically, your body feels warmth and it assumes the sun is what's heating you up, so suppresses sleep hormones and promotes wakefulness.

Anecdotally seems true for me, but I also have poor circulation to my extremities so I just suffer one way or the other.
I don’t agree they are a crutch.

However, if they are, then modern life is a sledge hammer that’s constantly breaking your legs.

Our (US, UK, Australia and so on) life styles and food chain have created this obesity problem.

We are now a sedentary population, and low-nutrient high-calorie food is being made readily available to stressed, tired, overworked, and economically challenged people. When you are stressed and tired, you don’t make the best choices!

These drugs are not so much a crutch as they are a rescue helicopter!

We still need education though.

These drugs might reduce hunger, but they won’t stop you from consuming junk-food. People are used to overeating, and a feeling full isn’t always what’s stopping them from eating!

So we do absolutely need to address the root of problem….

That's actually one of my reasons for preferring standalone emulators on Android. My device's hardware L and R work by emulating screen touch, and the touch positions are assigned per-app, so with something like RetroArch it would be a pain to make sure an appropriate L/R target is in the same place for each emulated system.
Being vulnerable builds trauma, not resilience. You could say "open yourself to discomfort", but you're actually saying "open yourself up to damage", which is only correct when you intend to be very close with the other party.

Resilience is a frame of mind and an acquired skillset. Resilience is learned, developed, and taught.

that's great to hear! amazing performance of the model!

for voice chat bots, however, shorter input utterances are a norm (anywhere from 1-10 sec), with lots of silence in between, so this limitation is a bit sad:

> On the Gigaspeech test suite, Rev’s research model is worse than other open-source models. The average segment length of this corpus is 5.7 seconds; these short segments are not a good match for the design of Rev’s model. These results demonstrate that despite its strong performance on long-form tests, Rev is not the best candidate for short-form recognition applications like voice search.
The reason they are locked in is because they are the only game in town for this use case, done this way. That’s why I’m saying it, yeah?

> Internally this kind of corruption is more difficult because you have more control

If we anthropomorphise the regulatory body, sure. In reality, there isn’t evidence either way. Corrupt governments handing work to the private sector is a proven efficiency booster. Meanwhile, competent governments Severn Trenting everything is textbook (on the political left).
My official booster predictions for tomorrow:

- 10% chance of an "FTS triggering event" on ascent.
- 70% chance of an ocean landing, no catch attempted.
- 5% chance of a successful catch (with leeway for after-catch problems).
- 15% chance of a catch attempt resulting in all the
windows on South Padre Island needing to be replaced.

Ship I think has much more chance of being substantially more successful than IFT4.
