This is essentially my Windows box. I use it for gaming, and RDP in from one of my other computers (all of which run GNU/Linux), when I need to run a Windows program away from the house.

I treat it as though there's a random russian dude watching my every move through RDP keylogging all my inputs (and for how many one-off cracked programs have been installed on there over the years, it's not impossible).

I can't imagine keeping my password manager and primary accounts logged-in on the same computer I have rootkits like Riot Anticheat and technical disasters like Marvel Rivals installed on.
I think there's a few angles on this.

Firstly that a game developers main concern is getting their product functional, keeping that way, and that they can make money on it to make the whole endeavour worthwhile. There's already a lot of game releases where it comes across getting their idea working out the door is a lot higher up the list than the 'details' and attention to working great on the PC platform. Then that gamers will come in a wide range of skill/knowledge levels for their PCs, from those that treat them as glorified consoles to others that know every detail of their workstation.

Dual booting adds more admin and complexity, and in a way it's admitting that the trust level in software is so low your OS can't sandbox things out, that stuff you're running is taking liberties or just enough effort to fulfill its task, and you're going to the extent of running a console in a separate partition but running it is mutually exclusive with the serious OS. I'd guess a lot of people who felt strong enough would just have 'serious OS' be another device, most likely a phone but alternatively laptop, which would seem to marginalize what they use the windows install for.
sick! app in!
You're not wrong

In my experience if you want interesting work you need to seek out a more niche domain like systems programming, graphics, computer vision, audio, embedded, AI, GPU programming, robotics, gamedev, etc...

Something that hasn't been streamlined/optimized to death by 1000 other developers

Otherwise its just wiring together APIs, shuffling data around, and wrangling deployments/infra.
please avoid weasel words like "technically" - he immigrated illegally, and it was not prosecuted because he is white and wealthy. This is important, since he is now part of a very harsh crackdown against people who are much more vulnerable than he ever has been, and who committed less serious and more understandable infractions.
I wonder the same but I also firmly believe it's a useless and unproductive thing to worry about.

I mean, I wonder how many gold coins are laying in the forest? Surely there are many, and you can find ample news stories of people locating them out there, but I can confidently tell you that if you assembled a team an combed the forest for a year, maybe you would find one object worthy of a news story. And definitely you would wasted thousands of man hours that could have produced far far far more than what the object is worth.
>It's a fascist salute, always has been.

Say what one will about Musk, but the salute itself has existed long before Fascism and Nazism. Look up the Bellamy Salute. Much like the swastika and the fasces, the so-called Roman salute does not originate or derive its meaning from the culture or ideology to which it is attributed. The belief that such a salute has always been fascistic, however, is no better than the mythic history concocted for it. Such claims only serve to legitimate the perception that the progenitors and proponents of these ideologies were unique and ingenious. They were not. As with the then-nascent propaganda/advertising industry, they plundered and mangled whatever symbols that could adopt for their own means and purposes.
So what part of the game code exactly is able to download a random python script and run it?
You can't write an article about the US and fentanyl, and how it's killing Americans, and then ask where it comes from, without mentioning China. Or rather, I guess you can but you'd be missing a kind of important detail.
> I don’t need to point out that kin work is hard: we all know it is. But sometimes we forget that it also has a purpose beyond servicing the endless merry-go-round of heightened expectations. Kinwork is to humans what foraging for food or building a shelter is. Humans have always known we cannot survive alone, and that to protect ourselves, we need to persuade others to care about us....These ties can have powerful feelings attached, but ultimately, they are about our collective survival....The necessity of cultivating kin networks becomes even more obvious when children are born.

Although there's a lot going on in this article, the above passage is particularly interesting. When two people form romantic connections and commitments they rarely, if ever, share the same standards-of-care/needs/expectations for how their relationship will proceed. This includes how any rituals surrounding holidays, kids, and extended family should proceed.

Sometimes one partner expects/wants/needs a big gathering for Thanksgiving where the other doesn't want to celebrate it at all. Sometimes one partner strongly desires to have a "family photo" for end of year holidays to share with family or friends where the other partner does not. These may include expectation differences for physical intimacy, emotional support, etc.

Without explicit communication, understanding, and agreement (where necessary), relationships and people suffer.

Back to the above quote: reasonable people can disagree as to what's required to cultivate "kin relationships" and the degree to which those relationships are important. If there's disagreement or unhappiness with a status quo, then that needs to be communicated. If one party feels communication is difficult/unproductive/etc. then that issue should be dealt with first.
Yes, I've done fair share of these, but I don't see them as different from any other incorrect code I may write. I agree that sometimes it may be more challenging to debug, as it may not be immediately obvious that e.g. I am writing memory I am not supposed to.
It’s ridiculous that no one will be held accountable here (prosectors, police, public defender, etc) other than the guy that stole his identity.
I'm certain they've thought of this and have decided that the alternative—a firehose of whatever data the AI has in its grasp—is worse than the "censored" version. I'm curious to know what your ideal approach would be.

Ground up rewrites are a gamble. Classic Spolksy essay [1] about Netscape losing their lead to Internet Explorer is a must read.

Briefly:

1. You think you know how to build the new version, but you really don't. Years of improvements of the old version, years of bug fixes, years of business knowledge are below the surface.

2. The new version is going to have new bugs.

3. While you're rebuilding everything from scratch your competition is improving their product.

> TFA is the fine article

Isn't it a reference to "the featured article"?
What about the non-religious claim: “There’s not an all-powerful being that is behind everything”? Just as “indefensible”, just as “implausible”, just as “insane”. The sole difference is that it doesn’t involve worship, and therefore categorically isn’t “religious”.

These are axioms, you cannot derive them, you can only derive from them. Saying “my axioms are rational, yours are ‘insane’!” is frankly childish, and speaks to a deep lack of understanding of the essence of reason.
How about the government, for failing to provide their citizens with the security of a proper government issued ID?

Druhgs. Dropped his dealer and got the Gustav.

I'm kidding. Once you know what, you can check your patterns against the standard and the deviations. Then you can approach the circuits that are fucked and identify triggers.

Best to get to the roots of the reinforcement in childhood, though.
Behaviors and preferences surpressed, people you didn't beat up for reasons and so on, behavioral triggers, when you held back and why. What distracted you when you did a specific thing or the other. And, of course, the standard stuff, what were you rewarded for and did you really care about that thing yourself?

Might take a while but it'll be worth it.
As someone who used to work on that team, it’s so interesting hearing thoughts from external public on the team.

Imitation*
I guess the real learning happens outside the AI, here in real life. Does the code run? Sure, it's on my local and not in production, but I would've never have the patience to get "that new thing working" without AI as assistant.

Does the food taste good? Oops, there's a bit too much vegetables here, they are never gonna fit in this pan of mine. Not a big deal, next time I'll be wiser.

AI is like a hypothesis machine. You're gonna have to figure out if the output is true. Few years ago, just testing any machine's "intelligence" was pretty quickly done and machine failed miserably. Now, the accuracy is astounishing in comparison.

> How many falsehoods influence you?

That is a great question. The answer is definitely not zero. I try to live by with a hacker mentality and I'm an engineer by trade. I read news and comments, which I'm not sure is good for me. But you also need some compassion towards oneself. It's not like ripping everything open will lead to salvation. I believe the truth does set you free, eventually. But all in one's time...

Anyway, AI is a tool like any other. Someone will hammer their fingers with it. I just don't understand the hate. It's not like we're drinking any AI koolaids here. It's just like it was 30 years ago (in my personal journey), you had a keyboard and a machine, you asked it things and got gibberish. Now the conversation with it just started to get interesting. Peace.

The author has a few words about Clean Code https://qntm.org/clean

A better recommendation is "A Philosophy of Software Design" by Osterhaut.
Something that may not be clear when reading this is the distinction between complex numbers and the ring of integers adjoined with i.

"Complex numbers" are of the form a+bi where a and b can be any real number -- 1, 5, pi, the square root of 2, -2.14, etc.

The ring of integers adjoined with i are numbers of the form a+bi where a and b are both integers (-1, 5, 34, etc).

You can also, in addition to using i, adjoin any real number to the integers and get a new field with numbers of the form a+bx where a and b are integers and x is any additional number you want to add-- frequently square roots like the square root of two.

This result shows undecidability of diophantine equations in all those fields of integers, but not complex numbers, for which it's easy to prove that there are _always_ solutions.

Ask HN: Why isn't home IoT more widely adopted despite its benefits?
Hey HN, first time posting here :) !

I love new tech, but I'm cautious about home IOT devices like assistants, smart bulbs, smart locks, (...), because of privacy and cybersecurity issues. Even though they offer benefits, they don't seem very popular in France.

What do you think stops people from adopting personal IOT devices? Is it mostly privacy and cybersecurity, or is there another reason?
Is it particularly surprising though?

These are game developers. Not backend developers. Not web guys. Not remotely trained in infosec. They make games. Not security software. And for the longest time this was acceptable.

I think for a GaaS in 2025 it's unacceptable to not have security minded engineers on staff for the backend stuff. Too much money is involved not to. Especially for studios very familiar with shipping online games.

But I'm also kind of disappointed in how much we're forgetting that these people are not infosec nerds. Last year there was a cute fishing game made by a single dude messing around making things. It got popular and a kid found an RCE bug with the multiplayer. The dude got a TON of shit for the flaw, which feels deeply unfair. I don't expect my mom to configure a router correctly. I don't expect video game developers to understand defensive network programming without training.

Maybe I'm just a little frustrated at the Internet largely unable to understand that defensive programming is something that isn't in a game devs trained skills. I would expect better of Netease however
Reminds me of NetGuard, which uses Android's VPN service (instead of raw TUN) for packet filtering. https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard
Why not use eBPF instead? Then you could see all http requests from all processes at once, including ones that are already running. Plus you wouldn't need to bother with TLS at all, just hook on e.g. write(2).

Re: continuing education: I just wanted a way to take some classes and gain access to the university library. Technically I have access to lifetimes of material online via books, papers, MOOCs, etc; but it would be really nice take a philosophy class and actually be able to have in depth discussions, or check out some book that's never been published on kindle.
As I recall, studies have looked into this, and the bystander effect in open source is very real.

"You can view the source on GitHub" is very different than "A knowledgable person has audited the millions of lines of source code and confirmed that nobody added anything shady or stupid." People often don't take the time to comprehend all the source of the things they depend on, especially for large dependencies and/or prototyping-scale projects.

I've had jobs where I was called stupid to my face, repeatedly, and the expectation would be for me to enthusiastically nod, smile, and say "I can see why you'd feel that way, but..." then launch into my sales pitch for an extended warranty on a $70 printer or whatever.

By the end of each day, I was completely fucking drained, and the fact that I was sending out dozens of job applications every day for years to get out of that role was not lost on me.

Stealth | San Francisco, CA (hybrid: M-W-F ONSITE) | Full-time | Fullstack Engineer

We're looking for a backend-leaning fullstack dev. Highlights:

- We're a 5-person startup in San Francisco (hybrid: 3 days/week in office)

- We're working on a b2b SaaS for managing/analyzing cloud costs for really large companies.

- The domain isn't cool, but the complexity is fractal and the need is huge.

- Typescript/Python/Clickhouse currently

- Our founders are also the founders of the Duckbill Group, an AWS cost consultancy. As a result, we've got a great, built-in sales pipeline.

- As a result of that, we're bottlenecked on our ability to just build the features our users clearly want.

- So we're hiring a 4th engineer: a backend-leaning full stack dev to build and own large swaths of this thing we're creating!

- We're looking for someone with 5+ years of experience, though probably closer to 8-10, depending on the person and the experience.

- Comp is 175k-200k base, 0.5-0.75% equity.

Very much relatable. I have dozens of high effort GitHub repos that I didn’t touch after launching it. For me it works by sparring with friends to really grasp if something is a viable long term idea or not and then stick to it.
