For internet crimes? Almost none in perpetuity. I’d think you’d need to go off the grid totally for a few years and come back without any reference to a prior life.
For physical crime, my gut says quite a few people have avoided identification for decades until they were essentially caught by turning themselves in. Ted Kaczynski comes to mind, but there must be a few others.

Perfect OPSEC to me, means near total isolation from socialization. Not something most people are capable of.

If you’re a professional criminal of any kind you weigh the risks knowing that perfection is impossible. The government is a business with a monopoly on violence. The goal is to keep their ROI for catching you as low as possible. Every single man hour spent finding you is costing money and there’s a man upstairs who wants to see some results that reflect the money spent.

Once you understand that premise, it’s easy to understand the why and how criminals are caught. The ones who are caught are always the ones who don’t know when to fold. Always the ones not to cash in and retire.

The ones who get away with it, they fold they retire and society forgets about them and the ROI drops precipitously on catching them. Research statistics on cold cases.

"Ethically" harvested honey means not killing the bees in the process I guess, which is awesome, but there’s still stress induced by removing the food they make and stock for their hives, and the cage around the queen just to be sure she doesn’t go back to the wild. Im not sure how to define ethics anyway but surely I would’t like to be a farm bee, even an ethical one.

This sort of implies that the number "one" matters. Does it?

Superficially it seems that blocking one domain name isn't significantly simpler than blocking a list of domain names, such as one might get from mastodonservers.net. But that's a ten-second reaction.

Do censorship authorities historically have a problem with blocking lists of domains? Is it (again, historically, based on experience) easier to block a single domain and achieve whatever the goal may be?

reating gradmasters 55% of the time is not good. We've been beating almost 100% of grandmasters in the 90's.

And when even llm's that are good at chess run, I had recently read an article about someone who examined them from this aspect. They said that if the llm fails to come up with a legal move within 10 tries, a random move is played instead. And this was common.

Not even a beginner would attempt 10 illegal moves in a row, after their first few games. The state of LLM chess is laughably bad, honestly. You would guess that even if it didn't play well, it'd at least consistently make legal moves. It doesn't even get to that level.
If i remember correctly, a lot of power supplies of cheap electronics have AC-coupled the low voltage side with the mains side. There's no physical wire, just a capacitor. You can often feel the AC when touching the 'safe' side of the adaptor.
Not available in the EU - so I guess the question is what are they collecting off you under the guise of playing chess that would require them to block EU users...
I have concluded that most (perhaps all) cloud offerings of Kubernetes clusters are a prime example of "enshitification". You take something that should be easy and trivial, then add layers of complexity and vendor-specific components, slightly different configuration options, lots of plug-ins you probably won't ever need (but you need to know which ones you will, and how to decide which is which), and so on. The result is that, when you are finished, you made something that runs only on the specific provider you selected.

The article nails Twitter's problem: spambots and promoted tweets. Checking Twitter now feels like checking my spam folder. Bluesky at the moment feels like a group chat with old friends.

It will get worse as it grows—that's how these things seem to go. However, two things give me a bit of hope: first it's been a chance for a complete reset and I'm ruthless curating who I follow. Secondly, and most importantly, hackability and API access makes it easier to filter out the stuff I don't want to see. You don't even have to built it yourself! There are already AI tools that will hide screenshots from Twitter / Insta / etc for example.
Ask HN: I'm building another URL shortener and would like your opinions
I know there are plenty of URL shorteners out there, but I believe I can create another one that will still be great. Instead of simply saying, "it's already done," could you share features that current URL shorteners don't provide? Or any suggestions to improve it or at least avoid making it worse? Thanks.
I mean, if it just gets as bad as pre-Musk Twitter (which was basically financially stable, albeit certainly not printing money), then I think a lot of people would be okay with that. People were tolerant of a lot of shit from Twitter; there's a reason it was affectionately known as the hellsite.
And? Two things can be true at the same time. Deadpool Wolverine was 300 million USD to produce. Nobody is going to put that amount of money into producing content for a corner wacko like myself, or Steve Jobs, whom, by your quote, apparently had the same problem (and 300 million USD to spare). But if it can be produced at a fraction of the price, then there is a market. And that's exactly my point.

Interesting. My assumption would be that Cloud Run should quickly* spin up more containers to handle the spike and then spin them down again. So there would be no need for back pressure? Guess it depends on the scale? How big of a spike are we talking about? :)

Too bad the author and company are anonymous. I'd like to confirm my assumption that the author has zero business using k8s at all.

Infrastructure is a lost art. Nobody knows what they're doing. We've entered an evolutionary spandrel where "more tools = better" meaning the candidate for an IT role who swears by 10 k8s tools is always better than the one who can fix your infra, but will also remove k8s because it's not helping you at all.
I got those and I love them, but that same thing happens to me if my sideburns get in the way of the speakers. It's a good signal to me to get my hair cut.

Mostly, I use them to listen to stuff in the house and still be able to carry on a conversation without having to doff my headphones, just pause whatever I'm listening to! A friend also uses them in a wood shop that doesn't allow headphones, but he listens to podcasts to help get through the day.

I'm sorry they don't fit your use case, and I'll have to keep that in mind as I get back on a bike next year.

I really do not want it to be the future. :(

Just because some people use the browser all the time, it does not mean that it should be the "OS". It is silly.
The problem is that false “slip ups” provide information. Sure, you waste investigator’s time, but once they rule out the false lead they have a bunch of information:

- if the false slip-up used only public information about, you likely don’t have access to confidential information about that space. If it used confidential information, you do.

- The geography and demographics of the false lead are probably not near-misses. The point of misdirection is to misdirect, so you likely won’t frame a coworker that will bring investigators to your own door.

- Any mistakes in the false slip-up, from spelling to factual to timing, may reveal info.

IMO this is a “too clever by half” scenario: leaving any trace at all is information. Leaving none is wiser.

Example: you’re a master hacker. You’re going to repeatedly access a compromised system. Is it better to set an alarm for 3am each time to suggest you’re in a different time zone, or to use a RNG to close an alarm time?

I say the RNG is better. Using 3am gives psychographics. Random isn’t clear if there’s any planning at all, or if you travel, etc.
Not yet, but sometimes it is way better to ask something to LLMs.

This is great advice. I deleted everything that has an infinite scroll of new stuff and set my phone on airplane mode where possible. Life is better. I frequently go about with no phone and I have better focus. Paradoxically I now enjoy my phone much more. It has a compass a camera and a bunch of cool utilities. It’s easier to appreciate how nice maps or translate is when you need to jump for them.

love the idea, just installed it, but the premium cost is too much for what it offers. Monthly doesn't make sense to me, especially since you don't have any running costs.
Came here to say the same thing: PaaS. Intriguing that none of the other 12 sibling comments mention this… each in their bubble I guess (including me). We use Azure App Service at my day job and it just works. Not multi-cloud obviously, but the other stuff: zero downtime deploys, scale-out with load balancing… and not having to handle OS updates etc. And containers are optional, you can just drop your binaries and it runs.
We should consider that it may be possible to train a model that first maps 3rd-person views to 1st person views, before a secondary model then trains on the first person view.

An untapped area is existing first person videos for small object manipulation, like police-cameras, where they handle flashlights and other objects regularly.
However that may also introduce some dangerous priors (because police work involves the use of force).

> As for the national security issue, the U.S. could require Chinese manufacturers’ connected vehicles to link to a U.S.-based cloud with a “back door” that allows our security agencies to review, analyze, and delete any sensitive data being collected.

So the solution to China spying on you is to let the US spy on you first.
we did, but then most ansible modules still didn't work on the system. They advertise the no-agent thing and how it does everything over ssh, and instead require python to be installed on all your servers because it generates python code and runs it on the remote machine. And somemodules require specific versions sometimes.
The government doesn't have to specify how, they just need to specify the consequences of failure to comply.

It's like not selling alcohol to minors, if the merchant (Facebook & co) does so they get heavily fined. If they repeatedly offend they are barred from operating as a business.

Induce sufficient fear in big tech and they will pivot to applying their profit optimizing to legal compliance instead.
Yaml is declarative, you tell k8s what you want and how it looks.

For shell scripts, try proper error handling. You start doing some catch hooks, you have issues cehcking error codes of different tools, debugging is hard too.

In one infra project we swtiched from shell scripts to golang just to have a lot more control/stability of our scripts.
That I know, that's why I asked if the factory specifically is still operational.
> Chinese firms are focusing on several tech hubs, including Taiwan, parts of Europe and Silicon Valley. Some obscure their Chinese origins by forming local ventures that hire the employees to avoid drawing attention from local officials, authorities say.

Where's the proof? Sounds like FUD to me.
I for one embrace the brave new world of printed eFood!

Perhaps appliances on your kitchen counter that use electricity and the air (CHON) to product sugar, or protein, or oils, directly and avoiding the whole agricultural, transportation and storage infrastructure. The savings!

Of course our agriculture state economies will collapse - a sort of second 'Dust Bowl'. Perhaps the CHON Bowl?
Writing DSLs is very easy, and fun! The PEG grammars are very elegant to build up. I wrote a language for programmatic recipes (think scaling, unit conversion, etc) with it and it was a delight.

this is not a just a python problem but a problem in many dynamic languages.

switching to the typed variants whether typecript, python type-hints, mypy etc will force you to do the dance to make the compiler happy instead of working on code.

which is why for me - JSDoc is really good - it uses types for documentation and ends there.

Nothing in the law requires a banner. It could even be handled in the browser by letting people choose what third-party cookies to accept (or none, hence the problem) and having that be negotiated during page load.

Unfortunately, chips EOL all the time, charge pin-outs, and the temptation to in-house an integrated SoM solution may add hundreds of thousands to the cost. If you are not moving >3m chips a quarter, than you are still vulnerable.

We also had to violate the Design for Manufacturability guidelines to adapt to the shortages and part skelpers hitting JIT lines. Even today, we incur a questionable 12 USD labor cost on every product to ensure a generic carrier PCB drop-in population option is always available (0.1" pins 1980's style).

We dodged the CM4 choice luckily due to my concerns, but still were tagged by a proprietary missing RF module needed for legacy system interoperability. The vendors lied about inventory levels, and kept the order tied up for years before the spools arrived.

To expand on this, I run BareMetalSavings.com[0] and the most common cause of people staying with the cloud is it's very hard for them to maintain their own K8S cluster(s), which they want to keep because they're great for any non-ops developer.

So those savings are possible only if your devs are willing to leave the lock in of comfort

Can confirm that physically separating myself from my phone has had benefits for me. For the last two years it's usually either sitting in another room when I'm at home, or in my bag when I'm out, always on silent. Switched off an hour before bed. This is enough to eliminate the distraction for me.

The main benefit is really just having more free time, focus and attention that you can channel into things you actually care about. So if anyone needs motivation to un-tether, think of it like this: being a phone user cuts your life roughly in half (in terms of the portion of time that's actually available to you to use).

I could go even more extreme on the phone decoupling, for instance I still bring it with me if I'm going to a bar or something, but at the moment I'm more focused on whittling down social media usage on computers as well. It does feel like the endgame could be a better life through just abandoning most of the tech that was cooked up in the last 15 years.
