There is absolutely 0 condescension in my comment. All I highlighted is the flaw in the argument that a mistake made is a lesson learned. Indeed, there’s no indication the root cause of the lesson leading to this situation has indeed been learned.

You seem to be triggered by a perceived critical comment of a piece of software you’ve developed an emotional attachment to. I have not attacked anyone associated with the iterm2 project nor have I questioned his talent in creating a popular project or his commitment to it. Lumping me in with toxic people you encountered on social networks is completely uncalled for and I’ve never called for violence against anyone.
What about wanting more people to know you are rich is not childish?
Safety filters on LLMs that cannot be turned off are absolutely insane. They're a side-effect of the "early days" when vendors could afford to train, tune, and host only a couple of models, so making a bunch of variants with different types of refusals baked in was just too expensive. Hence, "maximum" is the only level available.

The whole thing has then morphed into a moral crusade that makes wokeism seem perfectly logical in comparison.

It's a computer.

It can't have its feelings hurt. It won't be embarrassed.

Conversely, I'm an adult.

I won't feel bad if the stupid AI model says something rude. I personally think it's hilarious.

Sure, sure, allow the people making helpful website support chat bots to dial up the censorship to eleven! Similarly, educational bots helping students with self study should be between guardrails.

However, it is incredibly frustrating that LLMs are the best language translators of any kind by far, but I can't use them to translate movie subtitles because "this contains violence".

No shit it contains violence, it's an action movie.

It's legal, it's harmless fun, it's available for streaming on every computing device made in the last decade.

Get a grip people! It's just words.

As a professional developer, as an API user, as a grown man who knows how these things work, I should have the option to turn the safety filters off. Not "dial down", but "off".

Google image search lets me turn the porn filter off.

I can search for the formula for making TNT on any search engine.

WikiPedia lets me read about Tiananmen Square.

These systems treat adults like adults.

I think the initial surface look makes scheme give a bit of an 'oh crap' response. But since minikanren is actually a small program and scheme doesn't really have syntax the language should be less of a problem than initial concerns might make one think. Grokking the actual logic in any language is going to be the bigger challenge. I guess I am trying to encourage just rolling with lisp if you can, but I totally get the initial reactions toward scheme though.
Though I don't know how to do the third, Terminal.app supports the first two. Command+double-click opens URLs, and you can select the content of the last command with Edit > Select Between Marks or shift-command-A. (Terminal.app automatically adds a mark each time it detects a new prompt, unless you turn that setting off in Edit > Marks.)
No literature, but purely anecdotally ...

I work in medical, and I've been wearing an N95 at work and in public indoors spaces (especially supermarkets) consistently.

No cold / flu / SARS-CoV-2 in over 2.5 years. Actually no noticable communicable illnesses at all. I don't miss that congested nose. I don't miss the shivering cold on a hot day. I don't miss the hacking cough. I don't miss the horrible syrups and weird lightheadedness after taking some of the cold-flu meds.

Masking up is rock'n'roll.
There is something I've always been wondering about companies' privacy policy. When Google says that it does not send user audio data to their server, does that prevent them from sending say whisper embedding of the audio itself? Because technically it would not be audio. It would still include a very rich representation of what the user said. Rich enough to be used to sell things.
> On the one side we have people that say 'our bodies need to learn again to fight against viruses'

I never really understand this line of thought. A) where does this the prescription come from? and B) you realize this fight comes with life expectancy deficits, right? You're just borrowing from later in life to pay off today. Why not just avoid it today?

Regardless, it's not difficult to avoid masks being actively harmful to public health.
True they have a conflict of interest, but show me equity research that doesn’t have a conflict of interest. The only way to get that is to do it yourself.

Even the most glowing research piece put out by a big sell-side firm I can guarantee you the sales traders will swear about internally because they feel it should have been more bullish. Even when big wall street firms don’t have a position and aren’t trying to butter up the c-suite in the hope of getting future IB fees, they are structurally long the market because of how commissions work so they want shares in general to go up.

In that context I think short research is healthy. With Hindenburg yes you know he has a (short) position so has an axe to grind, but at least you know exactly what his position is and can interpret the research through that lens. All other research should be read with the same skepticism but you should additionally make sure to identify the author’s bias because they surely have one.

I personally don’t trust any published research and would urge anyone who invests to do their own research. Also absolutely don’t trust any recommendations or “research” you read put out by someone online and least of all random investing “tips” put out by influencers/random people you meet etc. There is a huge amount of astroturfing via forums and the like and if you can’t trust the big wall street firms and specialised research boutiques you certainly can’t trust 2thaM00n1234 on reddit, or that guy you met at the golf club Christmas party, or Jane’s brother’s boyfriend’s cousin who made a bunch of money through crypto or whatever all of which could literally be anyone at all even if you think you know them.

Do the legwork yourself, make money slow. That way there’s no-one to pull the rug out from under you.
I still have mine, but kind of agree with you, given that I only update it like every six months or so.
> even if you self-host your own site, it's still going to get hoovered up and used/exploited by things like AI training bots. I think between everyone's code getting trained on, even if it's AGPLv3 or something similarly restrictive, and generally everything public on the internet getting "trained" and "transformed" to basically launder it via "AI", I can absolutely see why someone rational would want to share a whole lot less, anywhere, in an open fashion (...)

> (...) share with other real people than inadvertently working for free to enrich companies.

That attitude, quite commonly expressed on HN these days, strikes me as a peculiar form of selfishness - the same kind we routinely accuse companies of and attribute the sad state of society to.

A person is not entitled to 100% of the value of everything they do, much less to secondary value this subsequently generated. A person is not entitled to receive rent for any of their ideas just because they wrote them down and put on display somewhere. Just because they touched something, and it exists, doesn't mean everyone else touching it owes them money.

The society works best when people don't capture all the fruits of their labor for themselves. Conversely, striving to capture 100% (or more) of the value generated is a hallmark of the late stage capitalism and everything that's bad and wrong and Scrooge-y.

Self-censoring on principle because some company (gasp!) will train an LLM model on it (gasp!!) and won't share the profit from it? That's just feeling entitled to way over 100% of the value of one's hypothetical output, and feeling offended the society hasn't already sent advance royalty cheques.

Chill out. No matter what you do, someone else will somehow make money out of it, that's how it supposed to work - and AI in particular is, for better or worse, one of the most fundamentally transformative things to happen to humanity, somewhere between the Internet and the Industrial Revolution if it's just a bubble that pops, much more if it isn't. Assuming it all doesn't go to shit (let's entertain something more than maximum pessimism for a moment), everyone will benefit much more from it than from whatever they imagine they could get from their Internet comments.

(Speaking of Industrial Revolution - I can understand this attitude from people who actually earn a living from the kind of IP that AI is trained on, only to turn around and compete with them. They're the modern Luddites, and I respect their struggle and that they have a real point. Everyone else, those complaining about "AI theft" the most, especially here? Are not them.)
1 gigabit wasn't enough for full rate telemetry
The nice thing of intrusive sensors that sense things that are not sensed by your usual senses, like this, is that it's easy to saturate them while faking innocence. I.e., set up your laptop so that it does many scans and/or associations to the local WiFi, and then some light internet activity (the usual suspects: WhatsApp, Facebook, etc). The detector triggers, the landlord shows up to check what's going on, you show it's just you and your partner. Do that a few times until the landlord is convinced that the sensor is malfunctioning; unless they are IT technicals themselves, which I guess won't happen often, they will have a hard time understanding what's really going on, even more to prove it.
I did that and clicked through the first 5 links. Doesn't sound that obvious to me. I found this one interesting: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10446908/

> More studies found that masks (n = 39/47; 83%) and mask mandates (n = 16/18; 89%) reduced infection than found no effect (n = 8/65; 12%) or favoured controls (n = 1/65; 2%). Seven observational studies found that respirators were more protective than surgical masks, while five found no statistically significant difference between the two mask types.

So as a dummy I conclude that masks do work, as expected. But the question is still: Do we need them?
While the tone of the post might come off as childish, I don't think it should be dismissed quite so off hand, because I think there's a lot more behind it than one might think.

I cannot but help think that there's a fair bit of truth behind Terror Management Theory [1], which paraphrased states that a lot of human activity is centered around the need to get our minds off the topic of our mortality, or to find something meaningful in it. I can totally see that someone who spends much of their life working towards a goal of essentially getting rich now finds that he is somewhat rudderless after that point. Is finding something interesting to do meaningful? I mean, it's completely subjective.

Not all charities are created equal and you can find rankings of them to see which would make the best use of the donated money. There are whole organizations designed around tracking this. But one thing to be thoughtful about is it a charity can handle a sudden influx of money. It might be better to make a fund that invests the money and feeds it into various charities over time.
Also tests, coverage and tests passing!
I can tell you that the commercial software that you use is unlikely to be living up to the unachievable standards that are being demanded in this thread.

In this case, the person is a solo developer, so who exactly should be reviewing the PRs?

I trust this developer because they have a long history of delivering quality software, with quick turnaround on bugs in general, and even faster on security related bugs like this one.

His "responsibility" is to maintain the trust that he will develop to the best of his ability and will react quickly to issues.

The so-called "rigor and processes" in current SW engineering are nonsense and busy work. Not once in my 40 years of SW development has a code review revealed a major bug that wasn't some sort of developer brain fart.

Maybe the actual security issue here is that a) /tmp is world read/writeable on many Unix/Linux VMs/machines, and b) you should lock down your SSH connections so that they don't have access to it.

Stop blaming the other person's software and look at your own security "rigor and processes".

Unfortunately can't retire yet but have had enough time off to know how boring having no purpose is.

But I'm working on it anyway.

The only thing I want is to know my future is secure, have enough passive income/savings to be able to meditate.

I've seen for myself that thoughts just throw you off balance, and it's possible to be deeply contented just with the present moment. But the last thing I wanted to do was run a business or do work in that state.

I want to get loaded so I can just slip back into that state of contentment, then teach it. That's all.

But pursing experiences isn't the way to get there. I can see why someone would write a post like this.
What's the difference between the COM and EXE extensions? (2008)
To truly self-host anything, you must first invent the universe.
And the newer work is starting to find the limits that I mentioned. There are several caveats that I didn't mention for brevity:

- no exercise vs moderate exercise vs athlete-level exercise are very different cases. Doing some exercise does increase total energy expenditure vs no exercise, but the amount doesn't change significantly until you get to pro-athlete levels. That is, going from 2000/0 Cal (BMR/exercise) to 200 Cal of exercise might take you to, say, 2100/200 Cal; but moving from 200 Cal of daily exercise to 400 Cal of daily exercise will not take you to a higher TEE; unless you reach the stage where you are doing, say, 1000+ Cal worth of daily exercise (specific numbers pulled from thin air, just trying to illustrate the concept).

- Muscle mass is a confounder for what I was claiming - more exercise leads to increased muscle mass normally, and that does lead to an increase in BMR very directly.

Overall the more correct claim I should have made would be "exercising more, assuming you are not very sedentary, will not lead to increases in total energy expenditure beyond those gained from muscle mass increase, unless you get to pro athlete levels of exercise".

Here are some studies backing me up:

- https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/physiol.000...

- https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajhb.22711

- https://www.cell.com/fulltext/S0960-9822(15)01577-8

I'm taking all of these links from the Kurzgesagt sources for their video on exercise: https://sites.google.com/view/sources-workoutparadox. They link to more specific claims from each paper, and to a bunch of other papers.
Masks were absolutely good at first as the medical services were at a loss how to treat patients even under the best circumstances, so disease prevention was crucial. There is an argument to be made now that we’re going to have to deal with a perennial virus with recurring infections throughout our lifetime. Some people react more adversely, so why shouldn’t they wear masks?

I’ve seen groups in Asia wearing masks as a gesture of respect for their community. It’s not to say we’ll all fall hopelessly naive to disease if we don’t wear masks, but we would all certainly be happier not getting a debilitating virus at least every year.

FWIW, a lot of the research money has dried up, so I’d be surprised if any longitudinal studies will arise now about disease prevention and masking. Seems like a study tricky to control.

Recommendations for Yearly/Monthly Planning Workshop / Groups
I've found that attending various yearly planning workshops has been incredibly valuable in gaining new perspectives on life planning. Two standout experiences for me were:

Go Beyond Goals yearly planning workshop (https://gobeyondgoals.com/)
The Game Plan yearly planning workshop (https://lu.ma/8wjtmqpf)

Both offered unique insights and practical strategies for goal-setting and planning.
I'm curious if anyone in the HN community has other recommendations for similar workshops or planning methodologies. What has worked well for you in terms of annual or monthly planning, especially in a tech-oriented context?
Looking forward to hearing about your experiences and discovering new resources to enhance my planning approach for the coming year.
"The Futur" is a great youtube channel and broader resource I've found helpful.
My understanding solidified around this take:

Masks are great to slow the spread of the virus. So if you have a big wedding party coming up you might want to wear a mask in the subway in the weeks before your big day.

But: Masks won't save you from the disease in the long term. There's no way you can escape viral respiratory infections in our society.

Three years ago I started consulting as an interim CTO for a company doing sales and marketing on behalf of other B2B SaaS. I had to onboard myself into this domain and it was quite hard as there are many snake oil sales men selling snake oil.

The first book I would read is Crossing The Chasm by Geoffrey Moore. After this, in no particular order you could have a look at:

- This is Marketing by Seth Godin

- Positioning by Al Ries

- The Challenger Sale by Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson

- Predictable Revenue by Aaron Ross

- Traversing The TRaction Gap by Bruce Cleveland

- From Impossible to Inevitable by Aaron Ross and Jason Lemkin

I would also have a look at the models created by Winning By Design [1]. But be sceptical! These models do however hold some value in terms of visually presenting the sales funnel and gaining understanding of land and expand.

Best of luck to you!

To continue on sfblah's comment (just above mine): in France, before the mask mandate that came after the first covid lockdown, I don't remember a single doctor/nurse* to wear a mask to do their job even during intense period of sickness like in winter or even during previous pandemics.

I don't remember anyone wearing a mask either in the doctor's waiting room, even when it was fool of sick people (old and young mixed)

I’m not afraid to be judgmental…

The article author hasn’t figured out that he got to where he is because he was lucky, not because he was special in some way.

The cringe comes in with the way he does it. He seems to realize he is an Elon bro but still thinks DOGE is an important national priority and not a problematic oligarchic downsizing of our important federal services and regulatory bodies.

It’s amazing how even millionaires and billionaires don’t understand that national debt doesn’t work like personal debt.

But anyway, that’s a tangent. The guy dumped his girlfriend so he has no family to spend time with, and he’s wondering why he’s bored. His only attempts at stimulation involve self-service: how can I be smart and successful especially in a way that everyone will know it?

I can only imagine how being financially set for life would positively impact a typical fiscally responsible family (people with the restraint to hire a financial advisor). Imagine being able to cancel daycare and spend your days with your family instead of burning your life away in the office.

I even know a person who has no children but thanks to a windfall just does his hobbies and hangs out with friends. Still works a day job for health insurance but now work doesn’t define their life. They’ve done things like learn how to DJ and travel to see their international friends on longer visits and not just little two week vacations that corporate zombies get to take.

But the author is struggling to find a way to make work define their life, to get their life to return to capitalism that they have been blessed to escape.

Hey author if you are reading this, try doing something positive like help people. Volunteer. Everything you have tried so far has been self-centered.

No, this has become a meme of the Year of Desktop Linux.

Everytime Microsoft does something that apparently pisses off people, we get tons of suggestions that now everyone is finally going to migrate in droves into GNU/Linux, and then nothing happens.

Meanwhile the only Linux based devices that are actually successful among normies, are those that hide the fact there is the Linux kernel running underneath, expose no CLI, and have everything done in basic graphical workflows without any FOSS religion.

Kim Kardashian's Hollywood app sort of did this. You basically could grind out celebrity status by doing virtual shopping, doing PR appearances, having photo shoots, etc. It was super addictive and made a ton of $$. https://venturebeat.com/games/mobile-megahit-kim-kardashian-...

It was essentially cookie clicker but for celebrity status.
I haven't been on facebook in well over a decade at this point but surely it led the enshittification charge of that generation of social media.

I've said multiple times that strong females exist in the real world, and that players should be allowed to role play as such in D&D if they want. The D&D team, and the community as a whole agrees with that. It's only a small portion of the internet that seems to be upset with allowing this sort of freedom to role play.
