Gazillions of dollars have been spent on fuzzing Chrome/Chromium, and they're still finding dozens of serious issues per year. Same with every other major product. The reality seems to be that we, as programmers, can't do any better than this. If that's the case, it's unfair to lay it all at the feet of this one guy.
I wasn't talking about publishing, I was talking about doing science.

Publishing can be one part of doing science, but it's not the end-and-be-all.

And yes, I have no idea how great corporate research or military research etc are, I just brought them up as examples of research outside of academia that we can look to and perhaps learn something from.

(And I also strongly suspect research at TSMC will be very different from research at Johnson & Johnson and that's very different from how Jane Street does research. So not all corporate research is the same.)

> Because, as an PhD who knows dozens of other PhDs in both academia and industry, and who has never heard of this magic new approach to doing science, it would be quite a surprise.

And why would you expect your PhD friends to hear from that? PhD's are very much in academia, and very much embedded in academia's publish-or-perish.
It either favors or breeds sociopaths
I use it primarily for its split pane functionality. Invaluable if you need to see multiple things happening on the same machine at once. I work in data science and often have several long running jobs on a single server, a notebook server, htop/iotop, nvidia-smi, or simply just having different panes cd'd to different directories - with iterm you can organise to a single terminal tab for each machine (including local), or group tabs across machines if they are for related work.
Welp, if the seasonal pickers can't come in, ans Social Security is done away with, might as well put all these idiots that voted for it out in the fields to pick
VW likely expected their relationship with unions in the US to be similar to Germany (from my understanding, the relationship between large companies, unions and government in Germany is somewhat unusual). I assume the reality came as a bit of a shock!
ANDN is fast. The issue looks specific to shift counts. SHL is also slow.

>Though, I wouldn’t really claim that all IP is illegitimate. I think many IP protections go way too far and last too long, but, I think some amount of copyright and patents is probably a good idea, though for a much shorter duration.

For what it's worth that's the camp I'm in as well, I'm just being a bit silly for the sake of argument.
That's partly what I assume people star repos for, it really doesn't defeat my use case. It's a metric that indicates interest and popularity more so than approval or endorsements.

Correct, because only by having money can most people understand the situation. You've proven this yourself by calling it "a load".

Zen monks have attained this understanding without the need to make the money first however.

i think that would be more accurately labeled as financial independence rather than FU money. im not sure FU money really exists
The US is transitioning from being a dominant superpower to being one in a herd. Saying that the current approach is works is also difficult position to sustain. They probably should try something different.

The basic position is that a government should raise enough taxes to cover its expenses. You can call that ideological and suggest there are superior options if you want to. Maybe there are, a little debt can be a good thing. But to suggest it won't work is a bit out there. It works. It is one of those simple strategies that is too boring to fail.

Also, if the strategy switches from spending more than you earn to less, obviously there will be a period where people are worse off. It is the same with paying back any obligation. Overspending foolishly obviously increases living standards while it is happening - the problem is the part where people no longer fund the debtor and said debtor didn't invest in productive capital. You need an argument that accounts for that to claim austerity fails. It is expected to do worse than the status quo for a while. Saving money isn't much fun on Day 1 either, it can take a decade to pay off.

At last, I know what probably was causing my Realtek WiFi problems during that era (circa 2020). It is so strange that a Ring 3 application can wreck a havoc on the networking subsystem for the whole OS. Also it is weird that Qt, being a UI library, takes a role of advanced network guardian by monitoring the activity of network interfaces. What a mess.
I did pull the number out of thin air, so let me replace that with "often enough to be annoying and make the browser unusable for me.
As of 2019 (my last contact with the industry), there was no real-time onboarding solution that could do this. Or if it existed it wasn't good enough to attract any attention. People were saying this in 2014 or so. I remember around 2017 thinking it would be pretty cool (repurpose wake-word detection to do some pre-determined segments or something) but no-one had it working. There's all sorts of stuff going on behind the scenes in ad tech and if https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=manigandham would probably have something useful to share if he was still around.

But it wasn't real. Even back then people would publish "sources" saying it was being done, but I'm telling you that if it worked well people would be doing it and we were in the middle of it all and couldn't find anyone who was.

There were smart-devices that acted as beacons to report people to ICE and stuff like that and they used personal data to tie it together. So there was crazy stuff out there (none tied to the respectable ad tech industry HN knows as the "privacy-violators" and so on). But this specific thing wasn't there.
Thank you. I think someone (or maybe multiple people) just mass flagged all my comments, including ones that I struggle to see as controversial. My curiosity and questioning of the "consensus reality" apparently really upset someone.

Doesn't exactly make me more confident in their opinions, if when I question them or try to understand them by comparing my own views people attempt to silence me unjustly (I didn't break any HN rules as far as I can tell, and I checked).

I spend about an hour a week on HN, and about another hour a week combined mixed between reddit, twitter, NYT, reuters, and probably a couple others I am forgetting. Just trying to get a pulse of what's going on across a wide range of sources.

Most of my time consuming information is reading books and listening to podcasts. I have listened to several Elon musk interviews (Lex Fridman mostly).

Does this explain my "information wormhole"?
Yup - having worked at Google Display Ads (arguably the epicenter of such talk), I personally only ever witnessed people walking the walk, privacy-wise. The threats to our privacy are quite public and not at all illegal; IMO data brokers and 3P browser trackers are at the top of the list, but all of Google’s known ills are there too (location tracking, exchange monopolization, allowing predatory advertisers, gestures broadly at chrome, etc etc etc).

They don’t need to be listening to us, and wouldn’t know how to even begin hiding it if they were. Something like that would require tons of compute and thousands of conspirators risking massive backlash, all to prop up a relatively tiny part of their business.

> Convincing people of this is basically impossible

Absolutely correct IME, btw. This is one of those things a smart engineer learns not to argue online, or at the Christmas dinner table for that matter. People tend to stand their ground on this one and move quickly to accusations of bias and naïveté…
Sounds like Magnitogorsk in russia, if you're looking for horrible dystopian hellscapes that pollute the land and shorten lives, look no further than Freedom "cities"

There is absolutely no chance this works well enough to be useful, and it's arguably extremely unsafe if a gullible diabetic person thinks they can rely on it
This guy perfectly represents Silicon Valley as a whole. I have no doubt that 70%+ of techies here would follow a similar path (call coworkers NPCs, break up with GF, live out Elon fantasy, pretend to do important/smart things but give up and move on to the next every few weeks) if given unlimited money.
> Cutting social security means that old people get less money in their retirement, no ifs, ands or buts. Good luck with that one.

But surely that’s the only way out? Figure out some sane taper scheme by age or something. Social security was created when the old people population was a tiny fraction of what it is now, no way it would have ever passed it with today’s numbers. We’ll have to rip off the bandaid or face the consequences.
You are still talking about DRM in the context of copyright. If someone has a news article or a game, they have copyright on that article or game and they use DRM to protect their copyright. All these are applications of DRM.

Applications like Play Integrity could be quite different: say a bank can refuse to move money if your instructions to move money comes from a device deemed not trustworthy by Play Integrity. That's like a bank can refuse to let you into their branch if you are dressed in swimwear. A game can also deploy this tech for anti-cheating purposes; really no different from a real-world casino refusing a customer who is known to be good at card counting.
Inform 7 it's the language. The parser comes from the library under Inform6 too and is not that limited, it can accept compund phrases too.

You can just use Inform6 which is OOP oriented and it's very easy to define in game-objects, rooms, attributes such as objects being containers/openable/enterable and such. Setting up basic puzzles it's pretty straightforward.

Some ppl collecting SSI have other income over $400k. They won't miss $30k of SSI. The dem's plan was to tax that overage - not even remove it altogether - to maintain SSI, but "they're eating the dogs and cats" won and now the unelected guy who made his fortune on government contracts is in charge of choosing who to cut off from that government money supply.
Are any of your friends the type that is blunt/honest regardless of how things are going?

Personally I've found the problematic ones to be those who feel like they're obliged to act deferrentially once money is involved.

The blunt/honest ones that don't change their personality like that still seem ok.

>should be eligible for a $4,000 used EV tax credit (if your income is under $150k):

This is only true if you do a joint file. If you're a single filer, it phases out once your income is above $75k, or $112k for heads of household.
I trust that the pitch deck is accurate, but I also have no idea the extent of its use or if it was even used.

Has anyone done a public low-level analysis of these systems with questions like, where the data goes, the quality of the stream, how the data is then used/abused, etc?
Well clearly HN is listening to my phone because I literally had this exact debate several times last week!
Sure, I mean it depends. If it doesn't matter I'd go with my one line. If it does matter then I find cursors solution insufficient.

I'm not trying to argue that it can't solve the issue, I'm just trying to say there's not a big difference between the number of characters in the solution to the number of characters in the question.

I believe you that you've been writing scripts for 20 years but at the same time with that experience you're probably aware of people with that much experience that still don't know how to write functions. I constantly see people do things right out of bash pitfalls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I did a similar thing using another approach (unpublished) where I use blocking fibers and fiber locals [1] instead of instance variables so you don't have to wrap anything in a `html_slice`-block or keep track of ids. Maybe I should open a PR.

I did this as an experiment for my own web framework [2] but I decided to use Haml for templating instead.

I've noticed people often research products, services, medical issues/ailments, etc. using Google (or similar). When they start seeing related ads on social media, they tend to attribute more to having discussed the topic out loud, forgetting about the searches they made from the same device or IP address.
This was proven in the Twitter files.
The same was happening in Facebook and Google.

There also independant research that prove this. hard to Google ;)

Basicaly it's proven that just switching the autocomplete when you search Trump or Kamala can sway the votes of undecided by huge margin.

The seek those and switch the suggestion were it matter.

They also incite people to go vote depending on the choice and buch of other dirty tricks.

You are right that it no longer work. In the end truth will always win because it connect to reality.
Having just X switching to truth will swarm the world.
I don't think there are a thousand constant registers. I think the renamer just represents (reg, 10-bit offset) pairs rather than just registers.

Also the problem affects SHL as well as SHLX, I didn't realize until just now.
I suspect that it is emergent behavior that even the ad companies themselves aren't aware of.

I have definitely experienced it myself, and have no doubts that it happens.
Those are the terms, correct. Using the code in pretty much any way you want without redistributing is adhering to those terms.

Why do you try say that means there are no terms?

The terms are ridiculously generous. But there are terms and those are they.

What do you mean by this? I'd appreciate jvanderbot having another go at typing out their thought.
I think it's still aspirational. If it was as wide spread as people think, someone would have shown a packet capture or an whistleblower would have come forward.

That said, I full agree that unless we legislate it, it will happen eventually.

The whole post is Hannemanesque, isn't it? It could easily be a flashback episode (or prequel spin-off) of Russ' struggles after selling his Radio on Internet startup. For timeline purposes, he'd briefly work for VP Cheney's task Force on Iraq, until he gets bored.

Not a ringing endorsement for DOGE's accountability and record keeping practices.
They don't need to: they can read your mind.

My proof? Yesterday I was driving home and I saw an old Toyota Previa minivan and thought to myself "Oh, a Previa, you don't see those very often these days." When I got home, I started scrolling through my Google News and it showed me an advert for the new Previa.

I agree with Simon: you basically aren't going to convince someone that their phone doesn't listen to you and serve you adverts based on it, because they've run into instances where it seems like it.
Although I've done quite well for myself, I'm not remotely near this level of wealth, so my insight and advice is likely just plain wrong.

Building on an analogy you used, you've let society dictate your "unattainable main quest", but then actually managed to attain it, losing your core sense of purpose in the process.

So pick a new unattainable main quest and internalize it, before proceeding with your life.

Easier said than done of course. You're fighting to replace a goal that was repeatedly forced into you from the early days of your conscious existence. How hard this will be comes down to your individual mental composition. It might be impossible. It might be easy and just require willful thought on your part. There are probably therapists that specialize in exactly this kind of situation.

Good luck!
Does 'pure SQL' have a specific definition (or reference spec)? The author doesn't mention it, except to say he tested it across Umbra, Postgres, and DuckDB. Even then, some days weren't 'supported by DuckDB due to a missing xor operator'.
Yup. Jon Kabat-Zinn wrote a great book with the same title.
If by “popular” you mean “number of unique users” then almost certainly not.
I think that is most people's experience but it only works up to a point. you will get diminishing returns the more money you have until, in some cases, maybe negative returns.
Reuters journalist Jon Stempel repeated the plaintiffs' paranoid and unsubstantiated allegations but did not include a single statement from Apple, just a vacant "did not immediately respond". If only there were years of statements made under oath in the courts to draw from.

Siri uses a pseudonymous identifier when communicating with Apple's services. The identifier is not linked to your Apple ID. Therefore Siri does not have access to your iCloud data. When you ask Siri to "call mom", it constructs a search query which is then executed on-device against your contacts database.

More of these requests are served entirely on-device. Just ask: how is that consistent with the idea that they are doing ad targeting based on Siri requests?

You can request a data export for your Apple account and see that there's no Siri data included in it. If they are caught lying, EU regulators will have a field day.

Apple describes their ad targeting here. They list the—frankly boring—signals they use for ad personalization, which does not include anything you say to Siri or have in your personal iCloud data. https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/apple-advertisin...

No one is apologizing for Apple's nontransparent collection of Siri audio for QA purposes, which is what they settled over and made opt-in.

Every time I read some technical description about why this isn't happening, the technical description seems convincing.

However...

A friend tested the theory a few years ago. He doesn't own a swimming pool, doesn't want to, and has never expressed any desire to. He put his and his wife's phone on the table and said to the wife (loudly), "Why don't we look into pool fencing?". She agreed with him. Shortly after, on both of their phones, on a particular social network, they were inundated with ads for....pool fencing.
Not everyone is like that, though some certainly are.

I've personally lent money to friends when they needed it, and been paid back once they got stuff sorted out.

Though in my younger days I was far less careful, so lending money did indeed go poorly.
I mean, many advertisers go through the Google display network without having Google target their ads (AKA run their bidding algorithms). Typically they go through other middlemen agencies, who indeed would need at least some of this data to make use of it, tho perhaps in some derivative form.

Still, you’re right that Google could be keeping it all for themselves and feeding it to their black box targeting services. I really strongly doubt that’s happening with incidental assistant snippets much less intentionally-eavesdropped recordings, but it is more plausible than this makes it seem.
I do recall reading the Alex engineers insisting on a physical off switch while the opposite was true for the Google Home product.

> tooling to detect UB

My tooling is not showing anything.

What tooling do you recommend?
The assumption is that it's either widespread or nonexistent, but I could see it being just a rare instance that gets A/B tested, and maybe by now the companies have decided it's not worth it. But IME all kinds of not quite kosher stuff gets A/B tested, and that would line up with anecdotes where it's too specific to be coincidence, but also uncommon and only affecting certain people.
Yeah this is the part that makes him sound like an out-of-touch asshole. I think it’s impossible to be happy if you hate ordinary people this much.

Maybe go meditate or hike and disconnect from twitter for a couple months, then take a volunteer position at a local food bank.
