He committed the oldest opsec mistake of all - bragging about what he did.

"He who would keep a secret must keep secret that he has a secret to keep" - Sir Humphrey Appleby but I think he was paraphrasing Goethe

That said, opsec is (to all practical intents and purposes) impossible in the long run in the face of a very determined adversary. If they want to find you, you will have done something to give someone a lead and there will be enough pieces to put the picture together.
Show HN: Transcription and summarization. No app, no account. Just a phone call
Good morning.

My name is Mark. I am the creator of Hello Notes.

I get a lot of ideas pacing my house, taking walks, etc, but for a developer I have severe app and subscription fatigue. I created a service that turns the device I talk to the most into a transcriber.

Here's how it works:

* You call +1 (435) 562-9028
* You will hear a brief message telling you what to do and expect and how much time you have remaining (60 minutes to start with).
* You hear a beep. Start talking.
* Hang-up and you will receive a text message (the shorter the recording, the quicker the text message comes) with 3 keywords and a link to the transcription and summarization.

Paying for the service is also simple; a Stripe Link page that requires a phone number. This adds time to the phone number provided. That time never expires.

With LLM's, summarization and transcription are commoditized but the user experience is not. I wanted the facilitating technology out of the way so that I could quickly get access to the thing I wanted to do; transcribe what I say and provide me a summary including any action items.

If you decided to give us a call. I thank you for your time. Have a great day.

“Some other models tested that just didn't work: gpt-4o, gpt-o1, qwen qwq.”

Notably gpt-4o was used in the post linked here.

Probably the problem with West are high wages and unions (especially in Europe). West could still win if it had advanced manufacturing and robotic equipment which nobody else has but this doesn't seem to be the case.
It’s quite amazing how you abusive and toxic authoritarian types hide behind framing things in made up terms like “ideological battle comments” and “flamebait” to add a veneer of process authority because you are too scared to simply admit to yourself that, you, the tyrant with all the power and control don’t like something so therefore it is “flamebait” and “ideological battle comments”.

Don’t bother with your veneer of made up terms and condescending and dehumanizing “you’ve unfortunately” … “been doing things I don’t like and I have the power even though I hide behind a process that keeps me believing I’m not the bad person I am”.

Just do it. Just abuse your power like you want to.

Tyrants are tyrants, even when they have “democratic elections” and proclaim how they support free speech as long as it is speech they approve.

Let’s get this done with. You want to abuse all the tools you have to frame and control the speech of others, so just do it. Stop acting like you have some reasonable process to make yourself feel better about what you are.

I participated in this project with my dog for two years. I stopped as the clunkiness of the web ui and lengthiness and frequency of the surveys. The experience left me dubious as to the project's methodologies.
I find it hard to understand why someone would take the time and effort to write something like this.

I can assure you 'linux' works just fine on the desktop (something I have done for a couple decades), and while there is some truth to the security and funding challenges, I find taking the article seriously difficult given the current alternatives.

Both Microsoft and Apple are openly trying to force you into their vision of computing, which is pedicated on their control and profit.

I have machines that run Windows and MacOS, but those both get worse every year, while Debian (and other distros) get slightly better.

I can run many AAA games on Proton, have access to the best development tools available, and am granted choice everywhere.

I can't even log in with a local only account on the latest version of Windows, and MacOS makes it harder and harder to install my own software (unless I pay them a tax, via a yearly dev account payment.

Linux is closer to the way forward, we just aren't there yet.

What’s your risk model here? Google are not manually or automatically inspecting the contents of your spreadsheets in order to profile you and show you better-personalised ads. Not enough people have such a spreadsheet for it to be worth it for them, I’m sure - and they also probably already know approximately how wealthy you are. Unless you’re under investigation for fraud or something, I doubt the government could get much use out of being able to access your financial spreadsheets via Google compared to the information they already get directly from banks etc. So that only really leaves criminals (for whom I still can’t see a great incentive to read your spreadsheets), and I also don’t really think your Google account is much less secure than your computer’s local storage (if that’s the other place you would keep it)
It seems to me that we forgot about the “stealing” of the “shit” from Europe and other places in the early days …
It looks like Hardy used Dedekind cuts from starting with the second edition (1914), but not in the first edition (1908).

What's the advantage of Dedekind cuts over say equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences of rational numbers? Particularly if you start out by introducing the integers and rational numbers as equivalence classes as well.

Well maybe not 1000 people but to our knowledge, the human brain is actually made of physically independent zones that barely communicate together except with the zone that take all the outputs together and tries to do something coherent with all the garbage.

Idk if this could work with LLMs, especially because all the brain zones are somehow specialized into something while two LLMs are just identical machines. But we also know that the specialization isn’t that hardcoded : we know that people losing half their brain (after a stroke) can still relearn things that were managed in the "dead" part.

I don’t know, please correct my errors, I was just thinking aloud to say that multiple independent agents working together may be how "intelligence" already works in the biological world so why not for AIs ?

Set a hardware breakpoint and you'll know immediately. That's what he eventually did, but he should have done so sooner.

Then obviously, cancelling an operation is always tricky business with lifetime due to asynchronicity. My approach is to always design my APIs with synchronous cancel semantics, which is sometimes tricky to implement. Many common libraries don't do it right.
Well the "throwing wealth away" is a big difference. And it's not just a matter of wealth. It's what people do with that wealth, such as influence the world negatively. The top 1% of those hell-bent on doing strange things usually don't have children that are similarly obsessed. And finally, it would increase the TOTAL number of people, which would exacerbate the situation because an absolute total number of people means even more exploitation by the rich.
Sure there is, it's just not a capitalist world.
You're right that thorium can't be enriched because there's only one isotope. It needs to be bred to Uranium-233 to work. However, breeding has been more expensive and costly than enrichment, and this is the crux of why thorium use wasn't expanded in the past. To breed thorium to uranium-233, you need a breeder reactor, and you need a chemical separation facility. Together, these are more expensive to build and operate than a centrifuge and simpler non-breeder reactor.

In this sense, I disagree that the process is orders of magnitude simpler. I'd argue that it's the opposite!

The idea that thorium-derived material can't be easily used to make nuclear explosives is an unfortunately persistent myth. You can easily make very nice weapons material from thorium. As the Livermore weapons designers once said:

"If today's weapons were based on U-233, [we] would have no interest in switching to plutonium" [1]

I was considering this but thought perhaps that would be too resource intensive or not efficient enough.

So in this case I was more thinking if there were perhaps a few directions that stood out, and instead of potentially rejecting those, consider each a microfine-tune, averaging the result at each step ala the uniform soup.

Though perhaps a stupid idea, I'm not a practitioner.
Is everything in LLMs translated back to English before interpretation?

It works fairly well in my native language, I’m surprised to learn that things get translated back.
In the end OSM is a database. I use OsmAnd, but I believe that Maps.me uses the same dataset.

Bertrand Russell would have been better served if he had studied his own country's role in creating the Israel/Palestine problem. The British Empire laid the seeds of almost all the inter-country/inter-ethnicity/inter-religious/etc. conflicts plaguing the world today but they have conveniently washed their hands off of all of it.

The markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Like, Tesla is clearly _comically_ overpriced, but shorting it would not be particularly safe (and I assume is now very expensive).
For those who are interested, the OsmAnd app with the OSM extension enabled is the easiest way to add/enrich map data in my opinion. I have added hundreds of small contributions over the years.
I can't think of a clever name for the maps, but I think it might be funny to play off of the phrase "as the crow flies".

These are "as the crow WALKS/DRIVES" maps.
> deep-freezing large object trees added noticable lag. Makes sense, because we iterate over large structures, multiple times per code path.

Yes. The main issue is that objects can reference each other in various ways, and we need to check these for each individual object. I wouldn't recommend deep-freezing large structures in this way unless they are only set up once, at boot time.

> the idea of "copy on mutation" albeit a pattern I love, doesn't play nice with Ruby's GC.

Data#with re-uses references, so it should limit GC pressure. But it's probably not convenient if you need to patch deeply nested objects.

> Don't try to make Ruby another Rust. We already have Rust, us that instead.

I think that's good advice, but it's also nice that we can make Ruby behave like a more strict language in parts of a codebase if we need only some parts to be rigid.
The "general population" is probably better off buying an unlocked device on the used market. Wipe it with a new LineageOS install and there should be no real concerns.
I consider it very likely.

I shared office with an enterprise salesman for a year. We talked over lunch. Among the things he said: If you want to sell to someone in the long run, then be honest with them. Don't give their competitors better prices and lie about it. It's okay to tell someone that their competitors get better pricing because of volume or for other understandable reasons, but lying is not okay, because people will find out eventually and then your long-term relationship goes sour.

CATL clearly wants to be a really big battery vendor and sell to lots of battery purchasers. I consider it very likely that they treat Ford well.
Would memory safe languages avoid these kinds of problems? It seems like a good example of a nightmare bug from memory corruption - 5 days to fix and the author alludes to it keeping them up at night is a pretty strong motivation to avoid memory unsafety IMO.
Web API development is an undervalued section for enterprise applications but holds great significance in overall performance. It provides you with optimal user experience and efficient connection among applications. Give the article a read to get relevant information!
Ignoring 95% of a uniform market to target the 5% of users who all have niche and conflicting preferences is a ridiculous strategy for stability, growth, and profitability.
The constituion is bieng ignored,over written, its
basic ideals ridiculed, and is unfortunatly the source of ALL LAW.

Not one of the "new laws" bieng enforced or ignored is therfor valid.

Questions of legitamcy and precident are ridiculous.

Enforcing the first page of the constitution, fixes everything.

The other possibility, is decaring a total government shutdown, martial law, and a mandatory
partisipation is drafting a new constitution, with a maximum of 10 pages.

Constitution, then enforcement procedure, but no more "laws", and laws, and laws, and laws, thinking of pi here, infinitly non repeating
but with a sense of horror, rather than wonder

Could you be specific about what constitutes "a rant"?

And no I've spent far less time "fixing" Windows. In fact I don't remember doing that ever. I've had multiple cases when Windows stopped booting and in absolute most of them I just had to reinstall the system from scratch. That's all "I've wasted".

Linux on the other hand?

"It works for you everything is made up in the article".

Never mind how once I had to fix a glaring issue in the Linux kernel which rendered tens of thousands of systems unbootable and which took me over 24 hours of hard work to unravel.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206175

Yeah, indeed I've never had anything like that in Windows in 30+ years that I've been using it. Never once a Windows update rendered the system completely dead. And I'm not talking about my system, I talking about hundreds.

Lastly I'm just a poor Linux kernel bugzilla maintainer who actually overlooks a lot of stuff and sees a staggering number of fixes in every stable Linux release.

I follow way too many bug trackers and LKML as well. It's all good, please disperse.

In the 1960s it was thought there was a "schizogene" that made people develop a "schizotypic" phenotype

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizotypy

we are usually a bit withdrawn and eccentric and likely to be bullied in school; these are maybe 5% of the population and maybe 5-10% of them develop schizophrenia in adolescence or young adulthood.

60 years of molecular biology has ruled out that it is that simple, but the "schizogene" may be basically an eignenvalue of a gene regulatory network that unfortunately means our brains has a different wiring diagram from most people and it is not a simple metabolic defect involving a receptor or enzyme that could be corrected by pharmacology. (There are antipsychotic drugs but they work nowhere near as well as we'd hope they would)

People are spoiling for a fight.

You can’t fight against a vague idea. You can’t fight against something which you’re complicit in. You can’t fight against ‘the good guys’ without being a ‘bad guy’.

So eventually, either we stop spoiling for a fight…. Or someone gives us this kind of fight.
Typically the leadership of countries does whatever benefits them personally, rather than (actually) care about the interests of the people living inside its borders.

The rare cases where that doesn’t happen, it’s usually because the people living inside the borders actually hold them accountable/align interests. Or people get really lucky.

I have no assumptions.

Windows is installed on 2 billion PCs, give or take. It works great on them, too. Long gone are the days of malware waves or driver failures that break the system.

Linux is on 40 millions.

And the amount of pain I see daily on Linux-related forums trumps Windows' woes by an insane margin.
This is tickling my curiosity... Anyone knows if Factorio is time-accurate and could be used for production line design/balancing? Is it implementing things like locks on shared resources (e.g. operators), and random stoppages? That would be fun to introduce it in corporate environment.

I rather think about really verifiable, formally correct, openly available (maybe similar to how SQLite is governed - open source but closed to external contributions). This would take so much more effort to build and maintain this software, but would bring a reliability and trust that we don't have today. Lifespan of a typical software is very short, it's more like build and throw out mostly (data from institute of making things up - it's just my general observation over the years). We could pivot into having narrow set of specialized and trusted software. It wouldn't prevent anyone from building their own stuff. I just mean that something provably trusted would change how our systems can work (from untrusted shaky stuff to the infra we really rely on)
I feel like nearly every industry is colluding, at least a little, with a "we wont screw you over if you don't screw us over" approach.

That's all you need to know about Linux compatibility.

And don't get me started on LD_LIBRARY_PATH not working for glibc but you conveniently "forgot" about that.

Compatibility "exists" except when it doesn't and it's extremely hard to achieve even if you're a professional.

In other words it doesn't exist.
That makes sense, I could add some code in the container that can communicate with private APIs in my servers. Is this standard practice or just an adhoc solution?

My question was a rhetorical one, I do use request-replayers and other techniques (I've been through a bunch in the past 20+ years as they were developed).

I was challenging the absolutism of "never use mocks", it's just another technique and can be applied easily in integration tests if the guidelines are well set in the team on how to not use them.

Also, I do not do external calls in the CI/CD pipeline, it inevitably makes tests brittle and flaky.
