Blaming the user is sometimes what it boils down to. Security includes a balancing act that involves usability, and Signal is firstly targeting the masses, but includes settings that can be configured for high-risk scenarios.

This "vulnerability" requires the user to have none of the normal things a person with a more extreme threat model would have already configured. EZPZ guides online on locking down Signal.

It's just like an iPhone. They don't ship with Lockdown Mode enabled by default, as it hurts the average consumer's usability. Signal at minimum will ensure no one is snooping on your messages, and it's up to the user whether they want to take that further.

If your definition of not providing security is allowing someone to know they exist on a continent, then that user's ISP has performed terribly as well since they aren't bouncing their signal around the world by default.
Ask HN: Deepspeek R1 Censored

I'm not sure I agree with that - good engineers should be experts at managing risk. True risk aversion is an impediment in most fields that engineers are called to solve problems in.

That said, we're also pretty analytical, and when one could warm a seat in FAANG for ~$400k/year, even many successful startups weren't outperforming that TC.

Ask HN: Best Long(ish)-Term Storage Format?
Basically, I've been thinking of storing more things physically, thanks to *gestures vaguely*. But I don't know which format to use given my criteria. In rough order of importance:

1. Reasonably easy to store and durable. So not something that demands specific criteria like being stored in very cold or hot temperatures, or that's super fragile. I don't expect it to be able to withstand a bomb being dropped on it, but I'd appreciate not needing to worry about it getting dusty or hot or cold or wet or accidentally knocked off a shelf or getting too close to a magnet or whatever. (Obviously that's a hard set of things to be completely proofed to.)

2. Able to be forgotten about. I know me and know the odds I'll forget about it for a while at some point are fairly high. I don't expect it to last for 1,000 years and be just as good as it was originally, but something that decays if it's not used wouldn't be ideal (but I'd take it if needed).

3. Cheap. Obviously. It doesn't need to be as cheap as the random stuff you get on Amazon (the first result for USB flash drive is 9 cents a gigabyte), but it shouldn't be super expensive.

4. Widely available/supported (and likely to be supported for a while). So not floppy disks or DNA storage.

I'm not planning on storing things for 1000 years or anything like that, so it's fine if it decays slowly, but it should be resilient for a while--over a decade at least.

I'm aware those are kind of conflicting, but I wanted advice on what you think would work best.
With our without government regulations and bureaucracy? Trump threw up a bunch more regulatory barriers against wind power yesterday.
My response was to a post that did not provide a source, and at the time it was made, no source had been provided.

[EDIT: Having now reviewed the source that was provided, it certainly supports a drop in industrial production, but I'd be skeptical that it indicates "de-industrialization" ]
I appreciate that you've put months of effort into this project, and your site looks slick. I'm going to share some candid feedback. Not trying to be mean, but I am trying to help you think through your service's value prop and business model.

What you've actually created here is an advertising platform that helps indie hackers and startups get in front of... other bootstrappers. This is a limited audience, in size, in scope, and in available spend.

If you want to build a community, you may be better off with a Discord server and spreading through word of mouth - or something more personalized and closed like Inbox Startup if you want to monetize it. If you want to sit in the middle of the indie hacker community and collect fees on featured slots, you've got find a way to sell access to an audience that's worth $9. You're competing with product sites which are free and ad networks that give you very fine grained targeting of a wide range of audiences.

People go to sites like PH to be surprised and delighted by interesting new products. Even if the upvote system is borked, users have some faith in the wisdom of the crowd and the PH brand. Why would I, as a user, want to see a list of "everyone who had $9 to give to Filip today" over a list of "products other indie hackers thought were cool?"

Finally, a very diligent user might look at 20 products a day on a site like PH or this one. Let's say you sell out your top 20 feature slots every day. That caps you at $66K gross revenue per year... unless you raise your prices.
We're using small language models to detect prompt injection. Not too cool, but at least we can publish some AI-related stuff on the internet without a huge bill.
>I for one am clearly moving toward the latter group as I get older.

For me, I'm strongly moving towards the mentality that a startup I care about would at least give me outcomes I care about and an environment I can enjoy without the BS of big tech corporate and the need to prioritize stability, but its largely because I can increasingly afford to consider risks and lower income positions because my current job and income that isn't a startup.

The time/stress trade offs at big tech are increasingly diminishing vs startups (hussle culture taking over there now too), so if I'm going to have to deal with it it might as well have the least amount of BS possible... Its interesting how I prioritized stability early on in my career, and now consider less stable/risky roles that are more interesting or exciting, while you seem to be going the other direction. There are certainly a lot of different journeys through life.
I like explicit over implicit. I will take passing down context (in the sense of the concept, not the specific Go implementation) explicitly everywhere over implicit ("put it somewhere and I'll trust I can [probably, hopefully] get it back later") any day of the week.

I've seen plenty of issues in Java codebases where there was an assumption some item was in the Thread Local storage (e.g. to add some context to a log statement or metric) and it just wasn't there (mostly because code switched to a different thread, sometimes due to a "refactor" where stuff was renamed in one place but not in another).
> All that static discharge is coming at the expense of the mechanical energy in the system is it not? I’m surprised they let it zap like that video and don’t try to recuperate it somewhere.

Yes, but while the voltage is very high, the energy stored is very low so I don't think it makes any sense to try recover it (there's probably much more energy being wasted by poor insulation of the heated offices or stuff like this).
I would guess: not in the near future.

But if it's not required by any contract and has no paying customers, a service tends to wither slowly... and die at some point.

There are a lot of places in plants that can end up being deadly for any extended amount of times in particular weather conditions.

There was a grain processing plant up in the midwest were my dad worked that had an area enclosed in between building they'd close off access to on the hottest summer days. Light would be excessively focused in that area from other buildings, and moisture from other processes and lack of air circulation lead to deadly wet bulb temperatures.
I also wanted to add that although I chose a specific example from WWII, I agree with you that this dynamic I am taking about ended up not being a decisive factor in the war.

I would argue that this dynamic was one reason we got the bomb first- and that the leadership and culture of the Manhattan project was uniquely effective, and the culture persists today in the USA national labs to great effect, but the bomb also happened too late to be a factor.
There's a part of me that's fine with it for a short-lived URL which contains a temporary access key but for a forever URL with a forever access key I'm not entirely happy with it.

I use it to share memes and shitpost but definitely not something to share sensitive content IMO.
I'd argue that most humans are terrible at thinking. It's actually one of our weakest and most fragile abilities. We're only rational because our intelligence is collective, not individual. Writing and publishing distribute and distill individual thinking so good and useful ideas tend to linger and the noise is ignored.

What's happening at the moment is an attack on that process, with a new anti-orthodoxy of "Get your ideas and beliefs from polluted, unreliable sources."

One of those is the current version of AI. It's good at the structure of language without having a reliable sense of the underlying content.

It's possible future versions of AI will overcome that. But at the moment it's like telling kids "Don't bother to learn arithmetic, you'll always have a calculator" when the calculator is actually a random number generator.
I got rid of all my books a while ago and it was freeing. No more Tsondoku for me :)

Previously, I always gave away books to friends after reading. Knowing someone else will enjoy them mitigates any loss aversion emotions (for me at least).

Estate/house managers are a very real thing, especially at the high end.

It can vary from basically part time concierge work (get the beds made, and make sure that the fridge is full when I arrive), all the way to full-time management of a property including managing additional full-time staff (maids, chefs, gardeners, etc).

I only brushed against it in being part of the yachting world, but it is fascinating how much money people like this absolutely blow away on making their lives slightly more convenient.
Chrome allows you to open multiple profiles simultaneously. I think Firefox can do that these days too, but for a while it's why I was using Chrome.
Another user said they may have since improved the changes, so I'll have to check it out again. But originally the main interface was a list-style of recent or relevant stats shown, clicking would bring you to more in-depth stats. Most of the time all you needed was the main screen. They swapped that out for a grid of small widgets that showed less data, and you could only choose a few. Clicking would bring you to a stats screen but with less info than before, and often requiring clicking even deeper to find common items.

So lack of customization, and lots of deep-navigation. Garmin's initial action was silence, eventually they said to get over it its not going back. Apparently it got poor feedback in Beta too, so this was just a change they decided chug through with despite a very large outcry on their forums.
Too many systems today would have trouble with her name.
I've used AG Grid at many of my companies and found it worth the price.

There are blog posts that I am sure will be a hit, but other posts actually brings more than I thought. https://breakpo.com - The post over merging two .doc Microsoft office documents got the most views by far. My blog is mostly about software stuff and things that I write so I will not forget them.
> just that it's easy to sniff out that you haven't experienced both sides of the coin so you reveal stubborn ignorance.

You're welcome to that narrative if you find it comforting. It's wildly incorrect however. Half of my family self-identify as semi-literate rednecks. The other half are members of the most prestigious country club in the state they reside in and the least successful of them was a V level executive at a multinational bank. I've cherry-picked the best of both worlds and have done just fine for myself without having to resort to any of the soulless pantomime you're advocating here, which does more to maintain property values in exclusive neighborhoods and feed a certain class of individual's sense of self-worth than anything objective. Water finds it's level I suppose.
Probably that gender ideology played a sizable role in getting Trump re-elected. It was the topic of his most popular ad, and IIRC the plurality of swing state voters said it was the most important issue for them.

So getting people to use preferred pronouns was a bit of a Pyrrhic victory in my book.
Conduct... to where?
On my Garmin Forerunner watch, under Settings/System/USB Mode - change to "Mass Storage" from "Garmin".

I connect the watch via USB cable and copy the FIT files over to the computer.

What areas still use bipolar? Does a switching power supply use substantial bipolar? Does anybody still implement TTL or ECL?

Quoting you below...

"The most unusual circuit is the BiCMOS driver. By adding a few extra processing steps to the regular CMOS manufacturing process, bipolar (NPN and PNP) transistors can be created. The Pentium extensively used BiCMOS circuits since they reduced signal delays by up to 35%. Intel also used BiCMOS for the Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, and Xeon processors. However, as chip voltages dropped, the benefit from bipolar transistors dropped too and BiCMOS was eventually abandoned."

I didn't realize that BiCMOS lasted so long. I thought it was only used on the original Pentium, but I really didn't look hard.

Edit: BiCMOS has a wiki.

I only kept books I would read again. But at some point I realized that was getting away from me, and I had all of these books I had in fact read twice but ten-plus years ago. The question was if I would read them a third or fourth time.

New books keep coming out, and this might be the last time in your life you read this book, and then you give it away. That statement is pretty straightforward when you’re young. When you get older it takes on a different meaning. I won’t have time for this.

So far it’s only been a couple of series. I’ve had a lot of free time this year and I’ve read 3 times as many books as I have in my next best year in the last decade, so I may be able to revise that down, however I’ve also added a lot of authors in that process, which just puts more pressure on award winning books from thirty, sixty years ago.

We're building a neuromodulation sleep headband, and we've always had the aim of getting to the point where the user puts it on, it does it's thing (slow-wave enhancement) the person takes it off in the morning and goes about their day.

I like food delivered to me but I am willing to pay for it. The minimum wag applies to gig workers too- and with an aging society and shrinking workforce the pay is usually a lot better than that.

Ofcourse in the US with tens of millions of illegal immigrants who will do anything to survive the situation must be very different.
> unnecessary items

Here’s the thing. I’ve got at least two family members that could probably be classified as hoarders. They keep a bunch of stuff that they really should get rid of. But at least part of this is, I believe, ingrained upon them by their relatively impoverished upbringing. They would hang onto items of marginal value because that marginal value means more when you have to scrape by.

Decluttering is a luxury. Rich people can throw out their rarely-used junk because it’s trivial for them to buy new stuff should the need arise. Poor people keep the “junk” because that little bit of potential residual value is a part of their livelihood.

Most people should put their stack of National Geographics in the recycling bin, because it isn’t worth their time to find the person who’ll give them five bucks for it. For some people, that five bucks matters.
Have you considered reading philosophy? The search of an ethics framework is pretty much one of the core topics.

From the above linked article:

So not something that will have an even remote impact on a human timescale.
Isn't that an urban legend? (We have the same kind of stories with lords and peasants in France, and here it's definitely an urban legend).
Why is a private company with fewer than 200 employees "China"/"the Chinese"?

Or, why isn't OpenAI "America"/"the Americans"?

Also, wasn't DeepSeek founded by a hedge fund that was specializing exactly in these kinds of financial operations? Perhaps their training data is just way more finance focused than OpenAI because of that?
"Can. 747 §1. The Church, to which Christ the Lord has entrusted the deposit of faith so that with the assistance of the Holy Spirit it might protect the revealed truth reverently, examine it more closely, and proclaim and expound it faithfully, has the duty and innate right, independent of any human power whatsoever, to preach the gospel to all peoples, also using the means of social communication proper to it." From a Catholic perspective, it is the duty of the Church to share the good news and therefore it is also the duty of the Church to protect it against misinformation (heresies). More specifically, the faithful who have received the sacrament of confirmation have the "power to profess faith in Christ publicly and as it were officially" (CCC 1305, quoting St. Thomas Aquinas) and the spiritual wellbeing of the faithful is the responsibility of the diocesan bishops and the whole Church hierarchy (Jn 21:15-25, per the Catholic interpretation of those verses).

Because an LLM does not have a soul and cannot receive the sacrament of confirmation it has no power to spread the gospel. Furthermore, it would be irresponsible for a bishop to approve of the use of an apologetic chatbot, even if it were only trained on the arguments of confirmed faithful, because its thinking cannot be explained coherently.

For those asking "Why does this even matter?", remember: the salvation of souls is at stake.

I don't like the comparison.

> But. And here's where the comparison to cloud comes in; the details of that evolution seem a bit fuzzy.

Maybe I have rose-tinted glasses on, but cloud computing was never "fuzzy" the way LLMs are. Cloud offerings were (and even moreso now, are) platforms. At the time the concept of a technical platform was very well understood with plenty of prior art. .NET is an example that leaps to mind. The trade-off was you give up control and submit to vendor lock-in, but the platform abstracts away small details so you can focus on your business. In short, cloud wasn't a huge leap, conceptually.

With LLMs, conversely, there isn't really much you can point to and say "this is a natural progression of ____". It's an entirely new thing, with entirely new problems.
indeed, I try to do that when I remember with my Garmin Venu 2 (~11 day battery life). Otherwise, I charge it on weekends while I'm home doing nothing.

It's also nice because most trips I take are under 11 days so I don't need to remember to pack the charger.

I found it to be useless for my cooking style. I imagine if your meals were a chicken breast, a single veggie, and a single starch it's useful. However, I tend to do stir fries with lots of different veggies, spices, oils, etc... It was extremely difficult and even more cumbersome to try and enter those meals into that.
Hootsuite, Sprinklr, Sprout, Buffer all do this.
Yep, I remember that. Before getting one, I slept on the carpet with a sheet in a couple apartments.

And mattresses and sofas indeed are what complicates a lot of moving logistics, IME. Everything else I could move myself, even cross-town on a cart, without renting a van. I'm thinking, my next move, it might be easier/cheaper just to give them away, and buy new ones on the other side.
Correct. Garmins GPS/NAVCOM flagship, the GTN series is 95% touch.
