Absolutely certain. Furthermore, this can maximize exploitation of each individual human as the providers have such rich profiles about each human that they can customize pricing to extract the maximum amount of profit. It is by design.
In the case of the property the other party had the lot number and the location; and the phone number. Unless you share your phone, your car’s registration number and location (and I would recommend against posting real data like this) these scenarios are different.
Yes! Having long time ago done some minor web scraping, I did not put any work at all into following robots.txt, simply because it seemed like a hassle and I thought "meh it's not that much traffic is it and boss wants this done yesterday". But if the tool defaulted to following robots.txt I certainly wouldn't have minded, it would have caused me to get less noise and my tool to behave better.

Also, throttling requests and following robots.txt actually makes it less likely that your scraper will be blocked, so even for those who don't care about the ethics, it's a good thing to have ethical defaults.

No, it doesn't. It reaches the conclusion because of vector similarity (simplified explanation): these explanations are post-hoc.

Show HN: Steganographically encode messages with LLMs and Arithmetic Coding
Good morning HN! For a while now I have been toying with this idea and now finally have a working prototype.

This project allows you to encode secret messages into ordinary looking text by using arithmetic coding with a probability model derived from an LLM. By encrypting the message and then decompressing the encrypted message using the arithmetic coder, you get output which looks just like randomly sampled output from the LLM. Except, it actually encodes your secret messages in the specific choices of tokens.

By using authenticated encryption, only a user who knows the key can know that a message is present. To others, the messages appear almost indistinguishable from typical LLM output.

This technique allows you to hide your secret messages in a public channel without other users even knowing that a secret conversation is taking place. For example, the prototype is instructed to output text which could plausibly look like a tweet on Twitter. This allows you to post your secret messages in an accessible public space without being discovered. This could be beneficial for situations where users don't want to draw suspicion for using encrypted messaging, such as if they are trying to avoid state-sponsored spying.

On the other hand, a potentially nefarious use of this technology could be the sharing of botnet command-and-control messages. By taking advantage of a technology like this, the messages could be shared in a public space where they could be widely distributed without an effective way to detect or block them.

This project is at an early stage and any feedback or contributions are welcome!

Thanks for reading, Shawn
It helps. Install your games on it, too.
I am similarly less-than-impressed. If you click through to the website, you can watch the replay of one of the games mentioned in the article (the one with the clue "invader").

In that instance, the clues all matched 2-3 words, and the winning team got lucky twice (they guessed an unclued word using an unintended correlation, and their opponent guessed a different one of their unclued words.)

You also see a number of instances where the agents continue guessing words for a clue even though they've already gotten enough matches. For instance, in round 2, for the clue "Japan (2)", the blue team guesses sumo and cherry, then goes for a rather tenuous followup guess for round 1's 007 with "ring" (despite having gotten the two clued matches in the first round). A sillier example is in the final round, where the Red Team guesses 3 clues (thereby identifying all nine of their target words), then going ahead and guessing another word.

(For what it's worth, I think "shark" would have been a better guess for another 007 tie-in seeing as there are multiple Bond movies with sharks, but it's also not a match, and again, I wouldn't have gone for a third guess here when there were only two clued words.)
In general, any made up problem (i.e., with no real utility) is just a puzzle and I would prefer to walk out unless I do need the/a job.

What a pity when interviewers can't even think of a real world problem for an interview. Most interviewers are like that.

No wonder, the industry has the candidates solve various coding problems, and once hired, all the candidates end up dealing with is company politics or other slowdowns. Not once in my career, a debate or an issue has happened because of the type of problems brought in interviews.

I'd assume that most people wouldn't mind a little alcohol in order to easily navigate social interactions. Now, it doesn't mean I should run a business of offering alcohol stands to social gathering events (at least according to my moral views).

Boredom used to be a real thing that humans needed in order to function properly, and be creative. I remember that as a child I used to stare at the wall, used to go outside. Nowadays, I can't leave my phone in another room. I can't watch an old movie because my brain is not able to process the slow pace of events. I blame, in part, social networks and short from content.

Ooooh, that hit the nerve )).

The author, rather unfortunately, focuses primarily on the predation from the "generalized colleague", and that wasn't welcomed by many commenters, possibly because people in big-tech tend to be young and do need help, so have to ask for it.

But the way I see it, the predation is institutionalized in big companies.

-- The Intellectual Property department blocking the entire R&D of the entire product division for the whole day, to give a presentation on how to file a patent. Knowing full well that only a dozen of these people will every do, at best.

-- IT dept locking down everything, because, you know, there are risks and we don't want to take it. Doesn't matter if it slows down everyone else everywhere.

-- "Security" disabling access to slightest technical information, because, you know, someone could steal it. Just ask and you'll have access. (How does one asks for something one doesn't know exists?)

-- Purchasing that shortlists only some contracting shops and not accepting any others. Doesn't matter if the shortlisted one don't "carry" the competence (e.g., try EMC specialists).

All these people consider that as their achievements and are not shy about it when yearly appraisal comes. We all work as one team aren't we? And then comes the day of layoffs. One reason of it being that the R&D hasn't been performant enough. Guess what, we aren't so much of one team anymore.
Returning current through ground is a bad idea in general. You should consider rewiring your house for the safety benefits rather than enabling some smart devices.

Putting significant return current through ground means anything in the environment can be part of the path of least resistance. You will see small voltages across your house depending on what loads are on and there will be load-dependent noise conducted and radiated everywhere. This also puts the system one open circuit away from making nearly every conductive part of your house a shock hazard (if the wrong place in the ground network goes open circuit).

What is done in modern times is to have the current return on a neutral wire then monitor the ground wire for current and open the circuit when current is flowing back through ground (a fault).

This. We need to stop admiring flashiness. We need to start admiring people that bring out the best in others. Our brains instantly turn to the glitteriest/loudest/fanciest object in the room. It is hardwired for some reason - unfortunately in this day and age that will no longer help us in the long run.

Turning to sports, Nikola Jokic is one of these people...you can see his quite leadership everyday. He is selfless on the court, bringing out the best in his teammates, he hates the lime light. He celebrates his rivals. This is such a poor example compared to that wonderful article linked, I but I truly hope my kids internalize some of the value that he demostrates especially in this day and age of awfulness elsewhere.
No, in basically all countries even verbal contracts are valid and enforceable.
I'd be interested to learn about such closed-source important bits and invite them to MLIR workshop / open developer meeting. Having worked on the project essentially since its inception, I am quite positive that the bits the original MLIR team considered important are completely open source.

Certainly, there are closed-source downstream dialects, that was one of the actual design goals of the project, but they are rarely as useful as one might think. I'd expect every big company with a hardware to have an ISA/intrinsic-level dialect, at least as a prototype, that they won't open source for the same reason they won't open source the ISA.

What I find sad is the lack is that end-to-end flows from, e.g., PyTorch to binaries are usually living outside of the LLVM project, and often in each company's downstream. There is some slow motion to fix that.
In the US, the first text could be considered a contract and the second a signature. There's no need for contracts to be on paper or signatures to resemble your name.
I found the solution quite impressive, but I think it is the typical junior developer mistake of getting too smart with their code.

As an interviewer who is going to have to work with the candidate in case they get hired, I would worry that this kind of code would be what I'd need to review on a daily basis.

The requirements were weird, but when are they ever not? and read-ability and maintain-ability were clearly stated as priorities at the start..

Still, props for the cleverness.

My SaaS has been using WebSockets for the last 9 years. I plan to stop using them and move to very simple HTTP-based polling.

I found that scalability isn't a problem (it rarely is these days). The real problem is crappy network equipment all over the world that will sometimes break websockets in strange and mysterious ways. I guess not all network equipment vendors test with long-lived HTTP websocket connections with plenty of data going over them.

At a certain scale, this results in support requests, and frustratingly, I can't do anything about the problems my customers encounter.

The other problems are smaller, but still annoying, for example it isn't easy to compress content transmitted through websockets.
It's meant to be a test of creativity. You will while programming encounter limitations, so the interview tests your ability to handle that. Any limitation in the interview will be artificial because it's a test rather than an actual job.

Tiktok paid peanuts but had a large enough audience to get lots of attention. The money on Tiktok comes from brands being marketed (often via product placement), not necessarily from Tiktok itself. Tiktok does pay people, but not nearly as much as you'd think with how many influences are out there.

I don't think the existing product placement industry will suffer on alternatives, but Tiktok has what its competition lacks: an excellent algorithm, not bogged down by any ethics, optimised for pulling in as many people as possible. Filtering out ugly or disabled people and algorithmically censoring speech all across the spectrum would never pass on any open system, but it has worked wonders on Tiktok.

That's why I don't think open source alternatives will ever be popular, even if they find themselves backed by investors and paying out creators: they're still too ethical to be profitable.

>...President Trump, [] can, by executive action, immediately pause the enforcement of those regulations and initiate the process for review and rescission.

>When the president nullifies thousands of such regulations, critics will allege executive overreach. In fact, it will be correcting the executive overreach of thousands of regulations promulgated by administrative fiat that were never authorized by Congress...

Fediverse-based platforms usually just don't do any proactive moderation. They rely on users spotting violations and reporting them. The reports are federated though. If admins of two servers disagree on what should be allowed, that usually leads to a federation block between them.

I disagree. YouTube is absolutely filled to the brim with Patreon supported content. Even large channels need significant alternative income streams like merch to exist in the way they do, and they're still profitable. A sliver of the viewership cares enough to pay, but when you reach hundreds of thousands of people, you don't need all of them to pay for you to be profitable.

We used to have a "pay for what you consume" economy and I don't see why that suddenly can't exist anymore.
