Every step you make someone who is being socially engineered jumo through, is an extra chance for them to realize what is happening, especially if those steps contain warnings.
>While applicable to all audiences, this guidance specifically addresses “highly targeted” individuals who are in senior government or senior political positions and likely to possess information of interest to [PRC-affiliated threat actors who hacked telecom networks].

Most people are never going to be targeted by intercepts or even by SIM swaps, and would still be just as vulnerable to phishing if they switched to TOTP. If you want better protection, hardware authenticators and passkeys are the best options.
It seems like you want them to explore a different question. Im confident that the best human drivers are better than Waymo. They are also better than all human drivers, by definition.

If you are worried about other drivers hitting you, the "all driver" comparison seems relevant. If you want to know if Waymo is a safer driver than you are, that will depend on where you are on the spectrum.
If that's true, then how is a type like this (non-empty array) useful at all, if it can't be relied on at runtime?

TS should say, you can't pop() this array, unless TS can infer it has >1 elements. Otherwise it can enter a state at runtime which doesn't conform to the type. That seems bad!

Show HN: Chapter – Real-time lead-gen from public activity (open source)
Hello HN,

We’re the cofounders of Chapter: an open source lead sourcing alternative, purpose-built for developer tools. Instead of throwing your credits to enrich static databases, you get daily leads sent to your inbox in real-time as they mention certain keywords publicly, filtered to match your exact ICP, and fully enriched.

We’re starting with job posts and GitHub as the main two sources for information on tool stack, libraries, engineering size, and more. Since the workflow is triggered through public posts - the data sent is proof that your topic is top of mind for the lead.

Our website is at https://chapter.show and our Github is here: https://github.com/chapter-gtm/chapter

We’re focused on helping dev tool companies with sales for three main reasons:

1) It’s extremely important for dev tool companies to be relevant and genuine in their outreach. Anything else will back fire in short term and long term. Their customers are engineers and quickly see through any fluff. 2) most dev tools we spoke with struggle to sell to mid-market or enterprise (i.e. teams) after relying solely on self serve (i.e. individuals), and 3) existing tools on the market lack “niche” data like tech stack or engineering team size, so teams are stuck piecing together data from different sources - which eats up their time.

Today, sales is often seen as the "dark side," but it doesn't have to be. We believe the systems we need for a brighter future in sales will look nothing like what's out there now. Instead of prioritizing volume, they'll focus on quality and genuine connections. Instead of rigid segmentation and automated sequences, they'll deliver personalized, white-glove experiences based on immediacy and relevance.

We believe this future starts with community, which is why we're making it open source.

We just completed Techstars, and what you see now is about three months' worth of feature development. We realize we still have a lot to learn!

We can see multiple use-cases in the future, like extensibility (both for data objects and workflows), messaging (increasing productivity around individual contacts), and analytics (understanding ICPs based on market, and conversions).

One neat use case that a user is exploring right now is auto-connecting with these ICPs on LinkedIn with the goal of having them enter their orbit and engage with their content. In other words, building an audience of perfect ICPs–low touch, high relevancy.

Chapter is built with Next.js, shad/cn, Tailwind CSS, Litestar and PostgreSQL, and is licensed under AGPL 3. We plan to make money by offering a hosted version.

We’re very eager to get your feedback as we haven’t launched anywhere before this post.

What's your story with dev tools? What should we prioritize next?
If I were to give them a suggestion, I'd try to build the place not only as a warning, but also as a tool to try to preserve language (or encircle the dangerous site with language-learning sites). If language is preserved enough, complex information can be conveyed about the site. We don't need to assume that our language (or language) will be a lost skill (although, if we can make the site human-proof at that level, good on us).

I'm not sure if some American companies have this. I don't believe they do. From hiring I know for sure, if there is someone who doesn't need immigration handholding is about as qualified as someone on an H1B, the former is preferred. Most of the times there is explicit guidance - "we aren't hiring H1B's from this date until further notice". So I know from being on both sides of the coin (as an H1B and then not needing one but being on the hiring side) there isn't a preference to H1Bs. In fact I'd assume the reverse is true.

Now, H1B's will put in longer hours and extra work without complaint and won't take things like EEO action, legal action, etc. against their employer. But it just comes with the territory that as a visitor in the US you do not want legal trouble and would like to preserve your legal status as seamlessly as possible.

To your first point - the H1B exists because they can't find technical (or other) talent in their work zone. So here's the thing - if one company can't find it, neither can others unless that one company is doing something super specialized. They could just provide the ability to move in zones where that expertise is needed and the minimum expected salary the employer must pay. There are solutions if congress gets off their rear-end and tries to find them.
Not being super nervous about being behind the wheel, not showing off their speed to their friends and probably being sober is a starting point

It's designed to increase profits, for sure. I do not have a lot of love for Spotify, currently, but this particular practice does not bother me much.

Look: If you give a damn about what you're listening to, you can go over to Spotify and create your own playlists filled with music you care about (assuming they have the artists you like in their catalog). In that case, the artists will get paid accordingly.

But Spotify has realized that a lot of people use it for background noise and don't give two shits whether what they're listening to is a "real" band or music-like content squeezed out of sweatshop sessions in Sweden or whatever. I can't fault them overmuch for taking advantage of the actual listening preferences of its users. If you feel cheated by this, spend some time curating playlists on your own.

Tacking on the CEO-shooter's mantra to your message is shameful. This isn't healthcare. This isn't killing anyone. It's a fully optional service that happens to be popular. Trying to link it to anger over being denied healthcare is ridiculous.
Read it more carefully (it is easy to miss). They’re going to start using and allowing third party device fingerprinting throughout their ad ecosystem.

This is obviously illegal in Europe, the UK and California (no consent), and an unnnamed regulator warns that it intends to take action.
Are there a lot of missing overbars in this article, or some other typographic marker for antiquarks? I assume the hexaquark descriptions early on are supposed to be (using Q for q-overbar) "QQQqqq or qqqqqq", where it reads to me as "qqqqqq or qqqqqq".
A reasonable decision in your case, no doubt.

But the mentions of "his student visa was no longer valid [...] meaning he had to leave the country" make me think walking to a local bank branch might not have been an easy option in the post adrianmsmith recalls.
What makes you think that's related to the surveillance state in any way?

It’s one thing to be aggressive in business, it’s another thing to be a grinder who pulls down the floor for other workers because they’re grateful to have reliable electricity. America’s tech prowess is due to Americans. Silicon Valley arose in the 1960s-1970s, when America had the lowest foreign born population percentage in its history.
>You're arguing with one of the better writers for The Register, there.

You're saying that like it should mean something. It's still the subjective opinion of a person. It holds no more or less value than the subjective opinion of another person. Being a journalist doesn't automatically make you the supreme authority on something, you're still just a professional opinionator (no offence), but that opinion can be different than other users.

>I have been using Macs since 1986 (as a developer)

That's an issue IMHO. Long term MacOS nerds are the ones who got used to all the quirks and can't see anything at fault as they molded themselves into he platform with age, developing muscle memory workarounds without realizing, so to them that status is perfection.

Meanwhile, new users to the platform will see things differently.
It's not called out in the article, but their 3rd graph shows America's houses going from 250sq. ft./person in 1920 to 1,000sq. ft./person in 2020. That's a h*ll of a big increase. And don't forget all the outside-the-home infrastructure (roads, utility lines, etc.) that also has to scale up with that.
FWIW Cgo FFI is expensive not because of GC but because Go uses virtual threads (goroutines) and prioritizes the simplicity of runtime implementation. The lower bound of FFI cost in .NET is roughly equivalent to direct not-inlined calls in C, despite the GC support.

Why not just put more information there, not just a short warning sign?

Well above the nuclear waste, bury a tablet that teaches a language in a few different ways, like the Rosetta stone but designed for teaching from scratch. Add some easy texts for study. Add more complex texts to study after the easy texts. Add an elementary, qualitative intro into the ideas of nuclear physics. Now explain the danger of the buried substances in a sensible way!

(Better yet, build a breeder reactor, burn the "waste" as the nuclear fuel it is. Stop being deathly afraid of reprocessing plutonium, at least in the nations that already handle it and have nuclear weapons for last 60-70 years anyway.)
In case you would like a concrete example to ground the cynicism about corporate trade offs around customer support, I recommend watching Jill Bearup's 10 minute video [0] about this week's demonetization. For example, she has to deal with some form that she "can't submit", a customer service contact 12 time zones away (so email replies are 12 hours delayed), and an account manager who is non-responsive. In her court, are some unaffiliated google employees giving guidance, but only because they were already part of her youtube watching audience.

I do not agree that privacy works this way. For me, it's not invaded once the peeping Tom shows up, it was degraded when there was opportunity for him to peek. Footage might be destroyed, but one can never be certain that there aren't copies elsewhere. It may seem secure, but how can I be certain that there won't be some future exploit that exposes it to even more people (never mind those who already have access).

I think the principle here is that my privacy exists not because you and others promise not to invade it, but only when I can secure you from doing so. Once the cameras are policy, no one who works there will be able to do that for themselves.
Note: there's a crash bug. If you try to look at the local sun, the game will try to explode it, but suns can't explode so the game crashes.
I was an early adopter of google home, have had several generations (including the latest). I quite like the devices, but the voice recognition seems to be getting worse not better. And the Pandora integration crashes frequently.

In addition, it's a moron. I'm not sure it's actually gotten dumber, but in the age of chatgpt, asking google assistant for information is worse than asking my 2nd grader. Maybe it will be able to quote part of a relevant web page, but half the time it screws that up. I just want it to convert my voice to text, submit it to chatgpt or claude, and read the response back to me.

All that said, the audio quality is good and it shows pictures of my kid when idle. If they suddenly disappeared I would replace them.
I'm a big fan of home assistant, and use it to control a LOT of my home, have done for years, have tonnes of hardware dedicated to and for it, and I've also ordered some of these Voice devices.

I'm also opted OUT of the analytics.
> almost all international bodies of law officially adjudicate the crime of genocide pursuant to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG).

> This and other definitions are generally regarded by the majority of genocide scholars to have an "intent to destroy" as a requirement for any act to be labelled genocide

This post mentions intent once:

> While we don't have legal authority to establish intentionality

But anyway somehow

> What our medical teams have witnessed ... is consistent with the descriptions ... that genocide is taking place in Gaza

and then the title was changed from "Gaza death trap: MSF report exposes Israel’s campaign of total destruction" to "Doctors Without Borders declares the war in Gaza as genocide"
Unhappy with your current government? You can always move to another country. Staying is acceptance of the current expression of terms of citizenship.
The majority of the cost of electricity in most jurisdictions is distribution, not generation. Grid-solar still requires distribution, so it is always going to have significant cost even if the cost of generation is insignificant.

If it can remove the need for a grid-tie, then rooftop solar can be significantly cheaper and more efficient. Can be, but isn't yet, because enough overcapacity and storage to eliminate the need for a grid tie is still too expensive.

You've missed the point entirely. The point is not that you can't recover the codes. The point is that if you are concerned about uploading codes due to the security implications (which most people on here are) then you need to do more than just disabling uploading, you also have to go rotate all the secrets that were uploaded.

I think it means "don't consume anything foodstuff that doesn't have a long record of safety (v.s. trusting the guy in the white lab coat that says the new thing is safe, since in 20 years some other guy in a white lab coat may find it's actually very unsafe in some previously unknown way).

You should talk to Sonos about partnering with them. They currently have a very limited Sonos voice assist, plus Google Voice and Alexa, but the latter two are limited pre-LLM assistants.

I’m assuming they eventually want to create their own LLM and something privacy focused would be good match for their customers. I don’t know how they feel about open source though
There are many with various mathematical depth:

- Fauvel et al., Music and Mathematics - From Pythagoras to Fractals, 2003, Oxford UP

- Loy, Musimatics Volume 1, 2006 MIT Press

- Tymoczko, A Geometry of Music, 2011, Oxford UP

- Walker, Mathematics and Music, 2013, CRC Press

- Toussaint, The Geometry of Musical Rhythm, 2013, CRC Press

- Chew, Mathematical and Computational Modeling of Tonality, 2014, Springer

- Hook, Exploring Musical Spaces, 2023, Oxford UP

From my point of view, all titles can be appreciated by non-musicians with mathematical background (though I'm an engineer, not a mathematician, and very much involved with non-classical music). But for your specific requirement, maybe Loy is suited, but personally I consider the later books more interesting, especially Tymoczko and Hook. Book recommendations are always very subjective.

Also note that the music theory commonly taught at high schools and universities is barely able to describe music, or only a small fraction of it. And only a fraction of this theory has a mathematical fundament. Most of it is just a heuristic projection of existing music, only useful for recognizing and classifying elements, and not for deriving new music. In recent years, however, new theories have emerged that allow for both a more formal and a more practical approach.
Take a look at the company Varjo. They make a pretty good headset.
He's a provocateur.

The Economist runs articles that are skeptical of transgenderism, so does The New York Times. That's one thing.

Singal seeks out specific members of the transgender community to harass. His aim, I think, is to provoke transgender people into doing stupid things like making death threats so he can turn around and write articles on another platform about the death threats he gets. Like a schoolyard bully he has one eye on the rules and is careful to not quite cross the line that he gets kicked out. He confuses people by crossing over activities on different platforms, like if you see that blog post he does not show all of the things that he did to provoke people. On X, for instance, he calls for people to dogpile on people at Bluesky, etc.

First I heard about him there were people on Mastodon who said people were leaving Bluesky because Singal hadn't been kicked out. I did see his Bluesky and it was exactly what I expected and I muted him the same way I mute anybody who blames their problems on cis people.
Actually, I made a mistake. That tool I haven't got working yet because of the necessary authentication. I've been using this one without auth, but it downloads everything.

Exactly this. Send me a call or text message that maybe I should go look at my account. If I log in through my normal trusted process and everything looks OK, then I can assume it's not legit.

Most banks seem to have some kind of internal message center within the application that is just for bank to client communications. That's the place to authoritatively tell me something needs to happen and what potential next steps would be.

"Do not use SMS as a second factor for authentication." Why? The reason given is that SMS doesn't have end-to-end encryption. Gmail has had end-to-end encryption since December 2022, so I'm thinking that if I'm given a choice between having a verification code texted to me or emailed to me, I should choose the email option.
