I though America spends its taxation on destabilizing Middle East and flooding Europe and Scandinavia with migrants.

If Europe tried to do what America does for Europe it should dump military equipment onto various central and South American countries so they can fight among themselves and create droves of refugees traveling North.

I am trying to find a post about avoiding the news. It was on HN last night
It seems HN has removed a post I was planning on revisiting. Perhaps it was too political. Anyway the gist of the post was one persons strategy for ignoring the news and not letting the constant stream of doom affect them. They were careful to point out this wasn't them putting their head in the sand as well. Any ideas what it might have been? I've searched the top 200 posts and it isn't there anymore.
For sudoku, it worked out that the balance was awful. I imagine if I put in the absolute minimal clues for 3d sudoku it would be challenging and have some more advanced techniques. It just wasn't a good game.

Don't get me wrong, there is probably some niche of players who would like that, but I wasn't going to do the last 90% of polishing a game, writing a solution evaluator, and probably having to play it a ton just to finish it off.

I did end up getting some interviews based on the game. It's amazing how well it worked for the games industry where they have well over 90% of people applying with nothing tangible to show on their resume or portfolio.
Haha I was secretly hoping someone would, thanks! Is this your artwork or generated? Either way I'm impressed!

Ask HN: And Worst Parts of HN?
What do you find to be the best parts of HN, and also what are the worst parts?

I suppose I'll go first:

I love how anything can be cross-examined on HN without much fuss about too much negativity. I mostly write on HN with the "want" that people pick apart what I write, so I can re-examine my beliefs and thoughts. For the 10+ years I've been here, it's been very useful to have a community like this available. There is no shortage either of people with loong experience in lots of different areas, and I've picked up on so many things I would surely miss otherwise.

I don't particularly like (but I'm not sure it's the worst part) how comments are ranked by "popularity" via upvotes. While it sometimes helps highlight really useful and insightful comments, most of the time it seems to mostly reinforce popular views even if they aren't well argued. Most of the time, I end up reading comments "down to up" just to remove that bias for myself. I personally much prefer forums that strictly sort by time instead, even if it means skimming through "trash" sometimes.

Before ollama and the others could do structured JSON output, I hacked together my own loop to correct the output. I used it that for dummy API endpoints to pretend to be online services but available locally, to pair with UI mockups. For my first test I made a recipe generator and then tried to see what it would take to "jailbreak" it. I also used uncensored models to allow it to generate all kinds of funny content.

I think the content you can get from the SLMs for fake data is a lot more engaging than say the ruby ffaker library.

> Also, if you manage to get rich, you can afford more risks... in the hopes of getting even richer

I lacked the empathy to consider it from that perspective.

In school (and Wikipedia?) they told me chaining is just moving elements with the same bucket index into a linked list.

Developer working on Peppol Access Point here.

We have this nifty description:

Peppol is a global network that simplifies electronic document exchange, like invoices and purchase orders. It uses a standardized format to automate invoicing and procurement processes.

The network operates on a four-corner model involving senders, service providers, and receivers, ensuring seamless communication. By partnering with a certified Peppol Access Point (some has been mentioned, e.g., Maventa is another), you can tap into this network with ease and broaden your global reach. It’s a valid solution when you can’t set resources aside for this.

So, the options are:
[1]: If you’re a software provider, partner with a Peppol-certified provider
[2]: If you’re a business, you may already have access if using particular ERP or invoicing software. Ask them!

At least Maventa offers global invoice access without extra charges. Integration and user registration are free; fees apply based on Peppol usage only.

Show HN: Stratoshark, a sibling application to Wireshark
Hi all, I'm excited to announce Stratoshark, a sibling application to Wireshark that lets you capture and analyze process activity (system calls) and log messages in the same way that Wireshark lets you capture and analyze network packets. If you would like to try it out you can download installers for Windows and macOS and source code for all platforms at https://stratoshark.org.

Why would that be more likely? Seems like OP and ChatGPT (which is just many people of different skill levels) might easily make the same failure to communicate. Many failures of ChatGPT are failures to communicate or to convey structured thinking.
How many ransomware incidents?

I personally know of a hospital that had no computers for a week due to ransomware. People died. The company running the hospital was unprepared before the event, inept during it, and unchanged after it.
At ACM SCORED last year, I gave a talk on exactly this topic: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3689944.3696350

Conceptually, you nailed it with the last mile. You want to tie the runtime service's attestation report to the provenance that was generated at build time (and signed by the attested build environment). You can do this by including a copy of it with the service and serving it directly; or the build environment can publish it to a place where clients can later look it up using the Confidential Computing service's attestation measurements.

SLSA is also integrating Confidential Computing as a way to get stronger guarantees about the build environment: https://slsa.dev/spec/draft/attested-build-env-levels#builde... . There was another talk at ACM SCORED about the tradeoffs of hardware-attested vs. reproducible builds: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3689944.3696351

True. But as much as I like Firefox, that doesn't seem to me to be NotepadJs's doing.
Linguistically, Spanish and French are Western Romance languages and technically should be closer to each other than Spanish and Italian. However, French also underwent certain significant changes (possibly due to Germanic and/or Celtic influence) that most other Romance languages didn't, hence why it seems more "foreign". But there are a lot of common things between French and Spanish that Italian doesn't share (e.g. the way plurals are formed with "s", or particular sound changes, like adding "e" in front of certain consonant clusters, c.f. Spanish "estrella", French "étoile", but Italian "stella")

> But as far as grammar, they seem to be almost identical.

Apart from the different plurals, probably the biggest difference to me seems to be that Spanish has three different past tenses, including indefinido, while the corresponding tenses in Italian and French (passato remoto / passé simple) have completely fallen out of use except of highly formal contexts (or, in the case of Italian, certain Southern dialects). Instead you'd just use the perfect.
I do the same. There's also the bonus that, even if you want to quickly remove the block, it'll take a few minutes to apply unless you go through the bother of wiping the DNS cache.

I'm fortunate enough to be in one of the top percentiles of household income but I'm not independently wealthy and I have no idea how my kids are going to make it.

Like Atwood, I did not come from a well-off family; parents divorced in my early teens and father passed away in my late teens from cancer (smoking and alcoholism) and in many ways lucked into a very good career after attending a state university. My spouse's father -- a janitor in a public school -- and mother -- a crossing guard -- passed when she was in her 20's as well. There weren't any large fortunes passed down.

Some friends recently purchased a house in my township and I visited to drop off my kid for a play date. I walked in and thought to myself "wow, this is a $1m house" ... except it looked just like mine...that I had purchased 9 years earlier for a fraction of the price. It boggles the mind to consider when/how my kids will be able to have their slice of the American Dream.

There are clearly some fundamental things that have to be fixed in the US at a policy level, but there's seemingly no political will to fix them; everyone seems out for themselves and to enrich their own coffers. This is handicapping social mobility through the hostile policy positions towards social safety nets and foundational services (e.g. education, healthcare, childcare??). This is the sentiment that I feel Atwood is also feeling.

As a high earning software engineer (IC), I'm not sure how I can survive in the US once I can no longer find companies willing to hire me either because of AI or because of age (early 40's now so I figure maybe 10 years of high earning as an IC?).
Well and good as a talking point, but violent crime is still illegal and way down.
Absolutely. It's difficult as someone on the former end of that scale to reorient your mind short term and enjoy philosophy, I think we get grounded into practicality / do things / get results mode, and it's a great exercise to try and engage wonder / analyze / enquiry mode.
Unfortunately that is not it. Thanks for the suggestion. I did read that one but the post I saw last night was more broad and covered general news instead of mainly social media.

If it doesn't apply to internet providers based on the Sixth Circuit's recent decision, it applying to Reddit is very unlikely.
Try to find the news for things you’re interested in on other platforms. A good subreddit will usually have all you need, but it’s not endless and it’s not actively trying to „upsell your visit” feeding you other topics (at least in the old interface).

It’s reasonable to want to keep up to date with some things. X is just not the best platform for that.
I found a job posting from 2020. I didn't know much about this agency so I looked them up. Turns out I didn't know much about them because this was established in 2018.

One of the interesting bits about the job posting is that, not too surprisingly, there are no salaries:

> All members will serve at their own expense and receive no salary or other compensation from the Federal Government, with the exception that members may be reimbursed for travel and per diem in accordance with Federal Travel Regulations.

Which, to me, can read two ways: altruistic people trying to make the industry better

OR

You won't even be selected to this committee unless you're already wealthy enough to foot the bill yourself and shape policy in a way that advantages ones self.

I don't know which way to read it, but if it wasn't costing anything, cutting it "for cost savings" can't be completely true. Maybe there were other overhead costs, but even saying that those costs are $1M/yr is a rounding error for the national budget.

> Inheriting from a class creates dispatch problems, and there's instance variables/fields/whatever to deal with. Never mind multiple inheritance, as that gets hairy real fast. With interfaces there is no hierarchy, and all there is is a type and a data, and you either pass them around together, you monomorphize to avoid the need to pass two pointers instead of one, or you have the data point to its type in a generic way. With class hierarchies you have to have operations to cast data up and down the hierarchy, meaning trade one dispatch table for another.

I agree with all of this. With interfaces, you get all the benefits, but none of the downsides.
Infosec was literally last item in Trump's policy plan; major changes are likely
This strikes me as an odd take. Reddit is a platform that allows users to create and moderate forums. Reddit as a platform isn't blocking anything. Individual forum moderators have always had the ability to delete posts for any reason they like. People who don't like the moderation being done in /r/reallyreallycutecats always have the ability to create a new forum /r/reallyreallycutecatsontwitter.
This happens in private corporations, too. Most of us have gotten clearly bullshit resumes forwarded by HR.
The technical parts are less common and specialized, like understanding the hyperparameters and all that, but I don't think that is the main problem. Most people don't understand how to build a good dataset or how to evaluate their finetune after training. Some parts of this are solid rules like always use a separate validation set, but the task dependent parts are harder to teach. It's a different problem every time.
Nice. I'll have to look into how localStorage works in such contexts, and if that is not badly maybe knock together a bookmarklet that does that but keeps text in case I accidentally close the window before I should (or Windows, when I'm using that, decides to reboot, as it is wont to do).

wow, not even god could eliminate sin but apparently the republicans can?

how do you envision that being enforced? death penalty for any sin? You've never made a sin yourself? If so how could you live in sin-free city? sounds sick and dystopian.

anyway, the point i wanted to make was that when you vote for somebody, you are the one giving that person the authority to take actions on your behalf. if you voted for T, you shouldn't complain about anything he does, because he can only do so because of your vote. learn to be wary of politicians, they treat you right during the dates (election) but after the wedding the true person comes out.

The 9/11 terrorist attacks might have been the triggering event but bringing a bunch of related federal departments and agencies under a single umbrella in DHS was probably a net positive. The previous structure was tremendously inefficient with a lot of duplication of effort and time wasted on interdepartmental coordination.

Apps to fight apps has never worked for me. When I'm bored/tired enough, it becomes a game to disable my own restrictions.

What works for me is removing the antecedent completely by charging my phone in another room at night.

Now the battle is easier: Decide once a day to put it there, and track how many days you succeed.

For me that's a lot easier than having it in my pocket, where the Internet is always a couple lazy taps away. Now I at least have to walk to it if I want it, and that often "breaks the spell."

I finish work and chores hours earlier when my phone is charging in another room, without consciously doing anything else differently.

It really makes me want a 1980s-style cellphone with no screen and big physical buttons.
