(goose)Shit like this is exactly why failing to account for the negative externalities associated with anthropogenic biosphere collapse is so utterly shortsighted and will ultimately be the death of us all. Every extinction is potentially a loss of knowledge we can't even conceive of yet, and how many medical advancements come from the flora and fauna of the Earth?
“therefore” is the context in this part of the thread, as the comment i was replying to was honing in on that, the magic 8 ball needing to be a magic 8 ball and not a metaphor. they got confused about how though they’re both disconnected from reality, one still has roots in probability theory and can reasoned about by an adult supervisor, whereas the other one is so divorced from reality that the phrase “magic 8 ball” ceases to lose meaning and must be pedantically debated on an internet forum before they can decide it isn’t something they should give their kids, like a magic 8 ball.
Branch names that are not just a keyboard smash maybe?
It looks great! How do you like it? I think I would prefer a small touchpad because it seems like it might put less of a strain on my thumb, but I am very curious about your experience.
Oh yeah I totally get having a niche hobby. I’ve personally considered starting a collection of photos of modified 90s Japanese cars. I take photos all the time of my cat with a “pro” camera but that doesn’t make me a professional cat photographer. Now if I were making money from it on the other hand…

I would be amazed if there’s enough of a demand for drone photos to support someone
I think the one thing no one really mentions is the fact that drones are extremely easy to build in the comfort of your living room. If you have a 3d printer, some spare parts laying around and a cheap electronics store around the corner(check, check and check in my case), you can build a drone for less than 300 bucks which is far less than the retail ones - completely autonomous, no radio link needed, takes off, does what it does and lands on it's own with no human intervention.

Your "parent" kicked you into gear because you have an emotional bond with them. A stranger might cause your guards to go up if you do not respect them as with wisdom. So too may go an AI.
Exactly. I also believe a lot of these magic like fields in the current era sound so 'meh' largely because the mechanical processes behind achieving results is revealed.

>>What is difficulty other than priori repetition of a sequence?

Its not easy, but its not where it was either.

Only a decade or two back these things were restricted to nerds and was somewhat like rare occult knowledge. You had to be part of some club to even participate.

While you still need to practice a lot to work in the upper level in competitions and all. It no longer has a magic like appeal.

The bottom line: LLMs turn the traditional model of computing upside down.

Computerization has traditionally offered accurate answers at low cost.

LLMs offer questionable answers at high cost. Think of them more as "suggestions" rather than answers.

Another measure is to use a password manager and long, random, unguessable passwords.

With no need to memorize passwords, you can change them as often as you fancy.

Yes, because of a horrendous implementation by Microsoft. 3 minutes instead of 30 second TOTP validity and unlimited guesses.
Yes. I am Telugu and family name is usually not written or called out. So he would usually write D. Gukesh or Gukesh D. Most people also have a sort of middle name for example D. Gukesh Kumar. Middle name is spelled and used for calling together with main name.
If anything, an LLM might be better at remembering about the small details of the model persona, previous conversations with the customer, and stay in character.

While unpublished decisions [1] are the norm rather than the exception [2], I was surprised that the court chose to make this particular case unpublished:

> the Eleventh Circuit Appeals both (1) declined to establish this as a rights violation going forward and (2) issued this as an unpublished decision to prevent it from being used to establish similar rights violations in the future.

TLDR; Microsoft didn’t have rate-limiting on their TOTP MFA if you opened different tabs. Allowing attackers enough guesses to get the users MFA code.

In some cases, the runtime being padded with filler was less about cashing in and more about trying to not catch up to the manga too quickly.

FMA (2003) is a fun example of this not happening, where they basically wound up creating a custom ending to the series because they got ahead of the manga.
Sign of a massive process failure in and of itself, no? If the shareholders want to pay someone to pray there are plenty of cheap priests available. He's just manifestly not doing his job.
I think so. But I would argue that it is a valid issue that they were able to do it. There are solutions to bruteforce attacks, such as rate limiting, exponential backoffs, alerting et cetera. I wonder why they are not in place for Azure MFA.

The number on my mind is that the monomers used to make common plastics cost about 50 cents a pound or $1000 per (short) ton. (Gas costs 50 cents a pound, almost anything that comes out of an oil refinery or a petrochemical plant costs 50 cents a pound)

Chemical recycling (never mind mechanical recycling( of plastics runs into the problem that the products are worth 50 cents a pound which isn't much.

Some people would find the kind of nerdy and analytical "social optimization" you describe more creepy and objectionable than chatting with an OnlyFans model. (whether or not they are actually an AI)

This is not a personal attack, but just my observation of how people perceive the way social interactions should work. Part of these perceptions would also be why people are driven to chat with women on OnlyFans, and why an AI would be effective....
Our organization contracts out our IT, I can cannot stress enough how bad/lazy their cyber security guys are. It feels like the owner told his directionless son "Hey boy, if you manage to pass this cert class I'll make you head of cyber security!"

Every few months we need to change our password. It cannot be a previously used password. It needs uppercase, lowercase, number, special character and minimum 12 characters. We have 2FA that is easily bypassed by going offline then back online once through login. We have 4 different active security suites running on our machines, and mandatory biweekly virus scans, at 10am (which cannot be changed). Every standard 16GB machine runs on it's knees all day long. But at least you can skip 2fa by turning off wifi real fast.
Nice work - wish this was around a couple of years ago when I got out of uni. Keep it up.
I tried three images as the prompt, all three isolated without a background, and it worked pretty decently. Nothing I would actually use, but they generated something close enough.
So awhile back I was working on a chaotic renderer. This let me to a really weird set of situations:

* If the GPU is a non-dedicated older style intel GPU, use CPU

* If the GPU is a non-dedicated anything else do anything super parallel on the GPU but anything that can be BRRRRRT via CPU on the CPU because the memory is shared.

* If the GPU is dedicated move everything to GPU memory and keep it there and only pull back small statistics if at all plausible.

Great build! And I've been looking for something like the Ploopy trackball for -ages_. :)
It's hilarious to watch UFO conspiracy theorists say "I believe what the Pentagon has said" and not explode in a puff of hypocrisy.
I think when compared with a breach in 2FA, changing your password is a good counter. But I agree that in the case of failed 2FA (total failure), an alert should be sent to the user: "password used to access account; but second factor authentication was unsuccessful; change password if this was not you".

Show HN: Rezible – Open-Source Mission Control for Oncall Teams
Hi HN, Tex here!

Excited to share what I've been working on solo recently.
Rezible is a "mission control" platform for oncall teams, aiming to automate, support, and report on the important but often overlooked, unglamorous work involved being oncall.

Github repo: https://github.com/rezible/rezible

While working as an SRE in different teams across Google & Canva, I saw the impact an unhealthy oncall rotation can have on engineers as individuals and as teams.

I believe oncall is a huge missed opportunity for many teams - it is often viewed as a necessary evil rather than as a source of growth & learning. This is not surprising considering the continuous administrative upkeep needed to keep a rotation healthy.

So while all dysfunctional rotations are somewhat unique, there are common practices that strong ones share - which I am building as features in Rezible to provide "healthy oncall on rails":

- Oncall shift event annotation (e.g. flag noisy alerts, measure toil)

- Automated shift handovers

- AI powered post-incident debriefs

- Real-time collaborative incident retrospectives

- Searchable & discoverable knowledgebase (populated from retrospective learnings & analysis)

- Structured oncall training & onboarding

The backend is in Go + Huma/OpenAPI, and the frontend is Svelte 5 + SvelteKit (which has been a pleasure to use despite not being a frontend engineer).
It's still very rough around the edges, but I'm sharing now to avoid it never being "ready" :)

“Gil Kalai #23: So we’re perfectly clear, from my perspective your position has become like that of Saddam Hussein’s information minister, who repeatedly went on TV to explain how Iraq was winning the war even as American tanks rolled into Baghdad. I.e., you are writing to us from an increasingly remote parallel universe.
The smooth exponential falloff of circuit fidelity with the number of gates has by now been seen in separate experiments from Google, IBM, Quantinuum, QuEra, USTC, and probably others I’m forgetting right now. Yes, IBM’s gate fidelity is a little lower than Google’s, but the exponential falloff pattern is the same.
And, far from being “statistically unreasonable,” this exponential falloff is precisely what the simplest model of the situation (i.e., independent depolarizing noise on each qubit) would predict. You didn’t predict it, because you started from the axiom that quantum error-correction had to fail somehow—but the rest of us, who didn’t start from that axiom, did predict it!”

Ouch.
I think you’re right that personality traits could be a large factor to how someone perceives cold email skeptically and negatively. Some may be wary of it as a default and some may never allow themselves to be sold to no matter what.

That said, I think cold email is often abused (like any selling, promotion, or advertising can be) where many actors take it too far. This is another factor that I think gives cold email a bad perception by default. It’s just much easier to do things at scale and play the numbers game, so that’s what gets us here.

The first time I received one of these lead agency emails I was actually open to trying it and responded to it. After the thousandth time of receiving the same message, it goes to spam without a second thought.
>_you_ can change them as often as _you_ fancy.

This is all that matters, regardless of whether a password manager is used or not.

Users should be able to change their own password (almost) whenever they want.

But arbitrary forced password changes from the admin should not happen unless the account has indicators of being compromised (even if all of your users have a password manager).
what about programming?
That’s pretty slick. I wonder if this sort of thing, generating a 3D model, could be a better way toward persistent worlds, than the models trained on games.

I wonder how well typical render farm could run a model like this.

If malicious program has access to GPU directly or via some buggy interface, the whole system is at risk. There is no "safe" GPU virtualization like there is with CPUs.

Roughly 250k are harvested each year in Michigan, and the state practically begs hunters to take does to prevent those 4-8 future deer. That's a significant volume of meat, but there's 2 problems.

1) Many hunters are already what most on HN would think of as rural poor. That meat isn't going wasted. The food pantry would just be an extra step.

2) Processing a deer in the garage is common, but definitely a learned skill and time consuming. Professional processing is available, but results in $/lb higher than most industrial proteins available.
I had to quit because I found it extremely frustrating. I could hardly ever win. And when I did it was from massive blunders, not from anything I did. I never had an issue with losing in other games, I'm not a competitive type that has to win. But chess made me feel like I had the illusion that I could win but in fact it was almost never possible. I also hate the characteristic that if you make one mistake you lose. You can never recover, whereas in tennis or basketball or something you can be ahead and behind and still have a chance. Chess is like that board game Operation, you make one bad move and it nullifies everything you did before that moment.
The real story here is the apparent... and I use this term very, very deliberately... fecklessness of all the relevant authorities. Apparently... again, a deliberate choice... nobody has the authority to figure out what is going on, or nobody has the motivation, or nobody has the technical capability, or something like that. I'm not sure what the problem is, exactly, and that is in some sense now the dominant problem. How can there be no clue by now?

Your sort of post is relevant in the first few days of the story. But if this was the case, with all this attention on it, it should already have been determined. But authorities aren't even floating this as a theory. Basically all they're doing is shooting down (pun somewhat intended) every theory.

That there is this much confusion, days later, is itself now the most important aspect of the story.

And we're getting up to where there are international consequences to this sort of issue, too. If we can't figure out what these drones are in a week, how can we be trusted to defend Taiwan or other allies in a world where "drone swarm" is slowly but quite steadily moving its way up to the #1 most likely attack vector? At some point it stops mattering if maybe it is just helicopters miles away being misidentified, at some point that becomes even worse in some ways than other answers, as it gets hard to claim we're going to be totally awesome at defending you against drone swarms if we can't even figure out in less than two weeks whether or not there are drones in our own airspace.

I don't know what's going on and am not pushing any particular theory. I've got a lot of things in my probability matrix but none of them particularly make any sense at all, which means I'm missing something critical. (Which is hardly a surprise.)
Oh wow, the English edition must have gone out of print.

Energy problem on both sides. There's no advantage to larger chunks of lower grade plastic, that just makes the problem of disposal worse.

On the one hand, it takes energy to recycle plastic waste, energy to sort it, energy to move it around. On the other .. the feedstock is actually really cheap, because petroleum is still cheap for the tremendous benefits it gives. So it's easy to just make more of it.

The pyrolysis process mentioned sounds interesting. I wonder how efficient it is and how much CO2 byproduct there is.
Self-fulfilling prophecy laced with abject defeatism and a refusal for self-improvement...
I am not completely convinced. The biggest problem is that if you teach "Parkinson's Law is real" to managers, they will have a tendency to set unreasonable deadlines and it will hurt everybody.

Of course, saying "we don't really care, we can release in 10 years" is on the other end of the spectrum.

The thing is, it's absolutely not true that developers fundamentally don't care about their work being released. If they don't give a shit, I would argue that it's a company problem, not a lack of deadline. Because if you set extreme deadlines and your developers don't give a shit, they will just produce crap to meet the deadline.

Management is not about tricking your minions into working more. It's about making sure that your employees do give a shit. All the developers I know (myself included) are happier to provide a good product to clients than to never release anything or release crap. But if you put me in a situation where I don't give a shit anymore, and we end up in an adversarial scenario: I will manipulate my manager to protect myself. I will optimise for my own sanity (it includes keeping my job and not burning out). And I am pretty sure that managers don't like this idea, but I would complete TFA by saying: "manipulating your manager is real, so use it (if necessary)".

Please don't do this. You're not going to hit a drone at any appreciable altitude from a "high window" with a "nice rifle." One of the first rules of putting bullets downrange is to know what's behind your target, and you simply can't know that when you're shooting into the air.

Yeah that was kind of my point. Hope I wasn't too much of a jerk about it, but I think the idea that you're just meat and that all interactions are transactional is what turns people off.

The real "red pill" is disconnecting from the matrix of social media, influencers, and PUA/MGTOW/incel (or their female equivalents, which do exist) stuff and being human. The "matrix" is monetized, manipulative, addictive social media and apps. Influencers are people who have aligned themselves intentionally with this matrix to ride on it and monetize you.

Wasn't that how it was in the movie? Blue pill == stay connected to the matrix, red pill == go to the real world.
