Sort of. "Locked in" is a strong word, considering Redis will run on AWS just fine, either by buying their product or spinning up a couple EC2s and `docker run redis` (which is allowed under the license since you aren't reselling it). Yes, harder than clicking a button in the AWS console, but it's not like you're stuck completely.

I understand it more for OpenSearch, because scaling that is annoying, but Redis has built in cluster mode stuff that works fine without having Amazon's magic control plane.

(we're also using OpenSearch hosted by AWS but not for anything complicated, so haven't encountered what you have. seems like Elastic 7.10, frozen in time, which is fine for us. they forked the old version of the .NET library for people to continue using, but I guess you need to use the archived docs.)
My past experience is that yes you can DSAR scorecards if you are covered by GDPR, aka you are in the EU.

Smalltalk is a VM, the VM isn't 'inside of' the language.

Why do people write ‘Claude thinks’ or ‘ChatGPT says’? It’s literally less reliable than ‘some guy down at the bar said’ or ‘my mother’s cousin’s ex-boyfriend’s cat’s previous owner’s dad thinks.’
When C was conceived, CPU architectures and platforms were more varied than what we see today. In order to remain portable and yet performant, some details were left as either implementation defined, or completely undefined (i.e. the responsibility of the programmer). Seems archaic today, but it was necessary when C compilers had to be two-pass and run in mere kilobytes of RAM. Even warnings for risky and undefined behavior is a relatively modern concept (last 10-20 years) compared to the age of C.
Even if you know one of your widely-used codes or cyphers has been broken, I don't think it is that easy to make use of that fact, except perhaps briefly and in a limited way.

To conceal the fact that you know that it is broken, you would need to maintain use of that code at similar levels as before, without approximately doubling the signal traffic by sending the real communication under a new code. Furthermore, the fake traffic under the original code must be realistic to the degree the enemy can verify it, as they can read it, and if a major code has been broken for a period of a few weeks or so, the enemy presumably has plenty of information to use in verifying new messages, at least for a while (the verification need not be explicitly performed, at first; if new messages seem to be inconsistent with what is already known, questions are likely to be raised.)

Compromised minor cyphers and codes are another matter, and that is exactly how the Midway ruse worked.

Very true, happened twice to an acquaintance of mine.
Thank you to post your personal experience. One pattern that I have noticed about Tesla FSD stories on HN: it is black and white, with little grey area. Either people live an area where the roads are easy for FSD to navigate, and they come here to say "It is perfect!". And vice versa: People live in a place with a bunch of complex roads and intersections where FSD does not perform well... And they come to HN to share their experience. (Privately, I cannot wait to see self-driving models try driving on Jakarta or Napoli. It will so much fun to watch those on YouTube!) I do think that Elon/Tesla is taking a crazy gamble to release FSD early to gain billions of hours of training data! I can understand where this would make some people uncomfortable, due to the safety concerns. Except Waymo, who else has the training data that Tesla has at this point? Wiki tells me that FSD has been driving on public roads since 2016. That must an astonishing amount of training data accumulated in the last 8 years! I assume he will be tasking X.ai with improving the FSD model using this enormous training data.
Show HN: Scout – AI Agent to take tech interviews, instead of screening tests
Hey everyone,

I've made a platform that can interview exactly like an actual coding interviewer from a company like Google or Amazon. I've spent months perfecting this AI and I'm finally ready to share it with the community. After comparison with almost all the "AI Interview" tools out there, I can proudly say that this is one of the most advanced AI interviewer available in the market (at-least as of now).

This platform uses my home-baked Agentic AI framework to conduct in-depth technical interviews and provide thorough feedback, just like a human expert.

If you guys have taken technical interviews, you are aware of the interview burnout these numerous coding interviews cause. Scout will allow you to automate the tech interviews, so you can focus on only round that should be human, the cultural fit interviews.

I've pre-launched the beta before and the feedback has been amazing.

Let me know what you think! Thanks.

> Note that, apart from contrived examples with deleted null checks, the current rules do not actually help the compiler meaningfully optimize code. A memcpy implementation cannot rely on pointer validity to speculatively read because, even though memcpy(NULL, NULL, 0) is undefined, slices at the end of a buffer are fine. [And if the end of the buffer] were at the end of a page with nothing allocated afterwards, a speculative read from memcpy would break

What a weird take. How is google using that much energy? Is it just for their own operations or are they providing a good or service that billions are consuming?

By using a computer you are a consumer and are complicit. Your overall contribution might be small but it’s the same exact behavior that is absolutely part of the climate change problem.

Eg - fundraise to cover the cost of producing the movie and paying the salaries of everyone involved, because physically making a movie costs money. Then give the mp4 away for free because copying a digital file costs nothing. Piracy is only a problem because companies are trying to charge money for copying a file, which is fundamentally free.

Yeah I totally agree . Her exasperation clashes with the existence of her content. It's like "ludonarrative dissonance" but for YouTube videos. I mean this is very common thing to see, the YouTuber claims to hate having to "subject themselves to more" but they go back for more and more.

That's really my complaint, if she spends so much time being exposed to these issues, surely she should expect it by now? And yet she still acts shocked every time. It's strange

> And then, on top of that, why do people keep watching her FOUR HOUR LONG videos about these issues? SERIOUSLY!? People are spending significantly more time than a single Star Wars movie to watch someone complain about a related theme hotel? What the hell is wrong with these people?! You know what I can do in 4 hours? I can watch 2 Star Wars movies. I can make wash all of my laundry.

Well, they are entertaining background noise. It's a fun thing to hear her rant about while doing something else. Long video essays are very popular

When C was conceived, it was made for a specific DEC CPU, for making an operating system. The idea of a C standard was in the future.

If you wanted to know what (for instance) memcpy actually did, you looked at the source code, or even more likely, the assembler or machine code output. That was "the standard".

I don't follow your take on the current EV gen either. A car at the end of the day derives most of its value from taking you one place to another. The current gen of EVs do this and do it well.

I’d agree re bankruptcy but can you discern between your use of damages (which you say is not a punishment) and fines (which you say are a punishment?
I don’t think that’s correct? Section 39 doesn’t say anything about data you’ve provided, but data that’s collected: the onus is on the data processor to process data in a legitimate way.
This is correct. People should split intent and outcome. So for example: you going to prison is a punishment. Your wife leaving you because of it, is not part of the punishment, that is an outcome, but it is not an outcome that is intended.
The same here. There are damaged to be payed to the victims of alex' Jones heinous lies that have provably made the lives of people that were already victims so much worse. The judges entitled them to restitution for the damages done and because Jones didn't turn up for court and had contempt for the court by ignoring direct orders they probably punished him by making the sum very high.
However. Going bankrupt was not the aim of the punishment. It just asks a high sum. He might have been able to pay it, which would have been fine. However. Jones didnt stop being an unethical human (pretty objectively, as long as you don't believe his lies) and tried to slither out of his duty to pay.
> Interest in autonomous driving appears to be cooling across the board.

I've had one Tesla for 6 years, another for 2: I've gotten to a point where I find Autopilot boring and turn it off just for something to do.

My older Tesla has enhanced Autopilot. As impressive as it is, it's very glitchy. I primarily use it so I don't speed.

Because enhanced autopilot was so glitchy, when we added a 2nd Tesla to the household, we didn't pay for FSD. (Enhanced autopilot was too expensive given how glitchy it was in my older car.) The free trials of FSD in the 2nd Tesla are impressive... And glitchy. I constantly need to take over on surface roads; but it is very nice on freeways.

The thing is, "self driving" as a feature just isn't worth the sticker price. If you're sitting in the driver's seat, and there's nothing to do, you can just save yourself a boatload of cash and drive the car yourself. Especially if you have to remain alert at all times, the best way to cut the boredom is to drive the car.

Yes, in practice. GDPR applies any time that EU/EEA residents' personal data is processes. If the company doesn't operate in the EU/EEA directly it's likely you are going to have a hard time getting this data, and more likely to not be given this data at all. It's up to you as a resident to formalize a complaint through your regional DPA (Data Protection Authority) in those cases.
The next move would be to run a complaint at the local Data Protection Authority - eg. for Austrians https://www.data-protection-authority.gv.at/.

So a stationary battery bank for my solar system makes a lot more sense than trying to use my car for that purpose.

Yes. It’s a basic result proven in any mathematical logic course at the senior or beginning graduate level.

If a Turing Machine can’t prove that it can’t prove the consistency of its axiomatic system from within that system but that it could from within a larger system but I can then this is evidence against your belief. At least as I see it.

I am just some guy who doesn't actually know much about this. This being the internet, though:

If I understand, it's pretty routine in real estate foreclosures for a creditor to win the auction simply by bidding the outstanding value of the debt. Thus not needing to actually come up with much or any cash. This gains the ability to use or resell the property however you want.

I like the labor lens for seeing turning points in the Cold War. The oil crisis delegitimized socialist and communist plans. So I’m not sure those plans mattered in union gains. Polish Solidarity is a great example.
With all due respect, would it be more transparent for antirez to disclose whether he holds equity in Redis Labs and, if so, how much? While I understand he signed documents transferring ownership to Redis Labs, it seems ethical, especially in light of recent controversies, to clarify his position. Transparency on whether he benefits from Redis Labs’ decisions, or even a statement acknowledging that he cannot or will not discuss this would help address potential conflicts of interest and maintain trust within the open-source community.

> No, it isn't set up to mislead

> no, the post doesn't write approvingly of US banking practices, referring to them at points as kafkaesque

And yet almost everyone in this thread has somehow understood it to be a post against the crypto folks and in favour of the banks. And it's too skillfully written for that to be accidental.

> no, the causes it's discussing aren't "minor"

A company going bankrupt is flashy, but can only ever be a small part of an explanation of a bank failure. A description of a shell company with a vague name that does international money transfers is a "look at these clowns" anecdote when you tell it one way and completely routine when you tell it another way. And what actual money laundering exists is, as described elsewhere in this thread, far too small to explain anti money laundering laws.

> they've blown up banks

Only if you buy into his choices about which causes to dig into and which to skate over. Big flashy graph of how many wires were getting reversed (and, in a post that otherwise goes into great detail to excuse people saying things that are manifestly untrue, complete incuriosity about any reason for the bank to say what it did that might not just be gross incompetence), but a one-line dismissal of why banks were reversing them - and no questioning why the setup is like that in the first place. Detailed explanation that a bank's business model fundamentally relied on serving a large number of crypto companies, one-line dismissal of any question as to whether it's reasonable for a regulator to make up an ad-hoc rule, and not drawing the connection between these two statements and asking whether an ad-hoc rule that intentionally puts a single entity out of business might be a little different from an arbitrary rule in other contexts. Extended point and laugh at the bank that expected to be able to regard its portfolio of New York commercial property loans as being worth something, one-line shrugging off that it's completely routine for banks to have large portfolios of essentially worthless New York commercial property loans...

> the "lie" that account closure notices aren't final (it spends a whole section on that)

It does, running bloodlessly over the mechanics, making it all sound so routine and normal and reasonable that you almost forget that we're talking about financial institutions telling blatant lies in writing (and not just about the finality, but about the reasons for the closure and its consequences) to their customers.

> it seems plain what parts of the system crypto companies are running aground against; they're the same parts that bodega cash transfer businesses have run into for decades.

That's not an explanation, it's a curiosity-stopper. I agree that there's a certain amount of kabuki to the crypto companies purporting to believe the things the banks are telling them, but on an institutional level that's really the only reasonable response to a lie you can't yet prove. And again, fundamentally, having been screwing with bodega cash transfers for decades does not make it any better.
