Isn't WSL2 still slower than WSL1 for accessing Windows drives and networks? I use WSL1 because I don't have HyperV available on my work PC, but it's also convenient because I perform most of my work on Windows.
That's not true. Many government positions and rules require different levels/types of clearance. E.g. the DoD and DHS have entirely different clearances managed by different organizations.

The DoD funds so much scientific research. There are entire budgets that are classified to hide how much we spend on - say - split satellites. Having access to the books of all of these orgs likely would require tons of different background checks and clearances from different organizations under normal circumstances
I have a blog that nobody reads (or very few anyways).

The one exception was that one time i put some vacation pictures from portland. I dont understand how or why, but that got 10x the hits.

It almost feels like there is an inverse relationship between effort and views.

Regardless, the main reason i write is to try and sharpen my writing skills, something i feel like i was weak at historically. It has value in and of itself.
All three citizenships? He's triple nationality, US, Canadian, South African.

I thought that wasn't allowed under US law? That you allow dual, but if you're already dual and want to become a US cotizen, you have to give up one of the other two?

Thinking about it, I won't be surprised if Canada takes his Canadian-ness away. Too close to Trump, who is repositioning the US to be a direct military threat.
My experience with private sector is instead of zoomers it's more men in their 40s and they all have the same haircut
I don't like Musk and have not for many years, but the left has been venerating some very flawed people for a very long time. It’s hard to be outraged now when we’ve been selectively told to ignore the past of others.

Let’s not forget that Trump is the pied piper candidate promoted by the left to make it easier to win elections. I remember when Ron Desantis was successfully undermined by the news media casting him as weird if he was even covered at all. The left celebrated at the time because they assumed Trump would be easier to beat. When our leaders are picked by their enemies it’s understandable that they’re extremely flawed.

I see it as an emergent behavior where it’s easier to damage than it is to build, it’s easier to undermine an opposition than it is to build up your own side.

I would suggest that political parties stop trying the pied piper strategy but if we are to learn one thing from history it should be that no-one learns anything from history.

Meta believes the dollars at the end of the AI race will be in walled gardens and prop data, not data centers and models.

They are going to do everything they can to make sure no one uses the time that models and data centers are limiting factors to disrupt them.

In the same way google demonetized the application layer of the web to prevent walled gardens from blocking search.

If models and hardware become commoditized at the end of the race meta will have a complete psychographic profile of people on an individual and group level to study, and serve incredibly targeted content to.

Their only real competition in that would be someone developing a 'her' like app that takes people out of social media and into their own individual silo'ed worlds. In a lot of ways discord is the alternative world to meta's ecosystem. hyper focused invite only small communities.
Sadly, at least in the embedded space some of us still deal with platforms where the proprietary core vendor's compiler routinely beats open source compiler cycle counts by a factor of 1.5 to 3.

The big weak region seems to be in-order machines with smaller numbers of general purpose registers.

GCC at least seems to do its basic block planning entirely before register allocation with no feedback between phases.
and then my coworker comes up to me saying my blog post from years ago fixed his problem. It's a small world
What I really like to do for this is loading it into SQLite, there are built in macros for reading/writing CSV files. And they're queryable with SQL which makes for a great jumping point to do some basic cleaning, joining and analysis.

This also I'd argue makes the job easier with LLMs since you can ask it to write a SQL query which you can validate / reason about rather than relying on it for transforming the data itself (which I've seen a lot under this post)
Even today for students constrained financially, they can print out a dot grid on blank printer paper, perhaps in a faint blue or grey to recreate the effect.

You get a nice mix of benefits of blank paper and graph paper.
I just look at the numbers Google Blogger spits out. I'm sure they're overstated with respect to real users but I don't actually care.

(I use blogger and, in fact, after much deliberation just decided to roll everything (personal and business) together on my existing template.) Anything else was just too much trouble and probably cost. Zero interest in self-hosting.
> What do you mean by posts are not links?

Not GP, but he is right; the behavior of your website is semantically incorrect. Looks like you redirect the users to your blog posts by using <button /> instead of <a />.

I also agree that your website should absolutely not require JavaScript to work. Clicking on links is something that is possible with 0 lines of JavaScript.

> I don't have a RSS feed but I have a newsletter with a subscribe button.

This is also not very hacker-friendly behavior. Why should users give you their email addresses when a RSS feed is much easier to implement and use?
But I already have that
This definitely also is a problem for the reasons you point out: density.

Have heard a few stories about it and it’s also a quite common topic in HOA meetings when someone wants to place an aircon unit.
It's actually difficult to work out the affiliation of the authors for non-Chinese. SJTU = Shanghai Jiao Tong University, but couldn't work out GAIR and IIS.

What about Google and YouTube? Seems to have worked out pretty well for both.
I don't need a response to these questions, as they are HN internal/sensitive, but I wanted them to be at least thought about:

Do you track people who frequently flag stories and/or comments?

Do you collate those results against particular subjects? i.e. Any musk related story always gets flagged by $group

Do those groups/people always flag within X minutes of each other?

Do those groups/people match the general location of a random sampling of HN users, or do they differ in a statistically significant way?
Yes, that's a real question, even for the money and manipulation use case, how does this help, especially the money part?
Altera seems to have some level of independence from Intel now: https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/fpga-company-alte...
Same, and I’m not quite sure why (psychologically). Managing browser(s) sessions is a serious chore for me, and every solution I’ve found is “just clean your dishes every night” but for tabs. The dev in me wishes they’d used something more interesting than Electron, but I get it.

What do mean by stuff?
> Regarding USAID: That is under Rubio now

Almost certainly not. The President can’t reorganise e.g. the CIA and Federal Reserve under HHS, for example.

Where I agree with you is in USAID not being politically worth the fight. And after the last 8 years (and Biden’s twilight) it’s hard for Democrats to argue for the rule of law per se.

>"I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price," Schumer, who was then minority leader, said at the time. "You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

This was during the overturning of Roe v Wade.

I can pull out statements from Greene suggesting execution as a quicker way to remove Nancy Pelosi.

But Greene perhaps is just too easy. Trump has had some choice words too, eg after the inaugural prayer service, he called the reverend a "Radical Left hard line Trump hater"

And lest people forget, the right - globally - plays offense. We would all love a truce for sure, I'd love to see it happen.

Edit: I’ve seen this happen in a few threads. Examples of uncivil things being said by democrats.

Except the examples are shorn of context, and typically it’s under a situation of immense duress. The Dem base today would want their representatives to say more forceful things - if only to reach PR parity.

Elon is hoping to impeach a judge, who is enforcing the law, and what remains of the balance of powers.

Saying this politely doesn’t pardon the act, nor does it delegitimize genuine outrage from an outrageous event.

Losing reproductive rights, creating a global security crisis, are disastrous things.
The administration need not defy court orders. Federal judges can be impeached and removed, with loyalists installed. Already, there are enough Trump-appointed judges on the bench where it won't take long for a judgment in the administration's favor to be reached.
> What is so egregious about this that he needed to be pushed out

You are cherrypicking. There are dozens of other posts, ranging from benign to South Park edgy to outright indefensible. In any case, they were shameful and he should be taking great efforts to apologize and prove he's a changed person if he actually regrets posting them.

Broken clocks are right twice a day and all that.
I bought 20 Steam Decks recently to give to one of my teams. Will share this with them.

> I'm also not convinced this is a "security breach." They're being allowed to do it. It's more like an unforced error, if anything. Not that it changes anything material about the situation.

From the perspective of the owners of this data, the US citizens and others that live in the country, this is very much a security breach; the data that was supposed to be secure is no longer secure.

As much as we want time symmetry, we still live in an expanding universe. So we have at least some asymmetry.
There is no other way than to try.

To minimize the risk you should write down and agree on all possible what can go wrong scenarios and your realistic plan about it. Like a divorce contract before you get married.
Seamless translation is... Pretty incredible.

I speak English and Spanish, so I recorded some English sentences and listened to the Spanish output it generated. It came damn close to my own Spanish (although I have more Castilianisms in mine, which of course I wouldn't expect it to know)
I'd much rather Krebs actually looked into the theft of taxpayer funds by USAID, with all its "shrimp treadmills", "Iraqi Sesame Street", "transgender mice" and regime changes. I want to get to the leaves of that tree and see who really got my money. Everything else is immaterial and should be ignored as targeted attacks on their mission.
"All of us should take a moment to acknowledge all the Peter Thiel-adjacent folks in this community who drove us directly to this moment"

This is why this community in particular needs to be talking about these things instead of flagging them as irrelevant to the hacker ethos, as if we don't have direct responsibility for what's going on right now.

"Move fast and break things" is a culture we promulgated. Yes, me, you, everyone commenting here. The people we looked up to for years - mentors and thought leaders - are the ones planning and directing this effort. Hackers apparently are the ones implementing it. If we want to talk about it in our cultural terms, these guys are imo acting like black hats and we need to grapple with that.

Clearly we as a community are not ready for these conversations, but flagging them and burying them isn't going to make the need for them go away.

It took me several reads to figure out that you probably meant ‘auto’ the storage class specifier. And now I’m wondering whether this was ever anything but a no-op in C++.
Why? What benefit is there to browsing a package repo over plain http when https is available?

Mitm attacks seem incredibly dangerous in a package repo. Signing only gets you so far - and they probably don’t protect you from downgrade attacks.
I certainly didn't say anything akin to the recent racist tweets from another Doge staffer, no.

There's also a very large unspoken piece left out of your sentence, which is that they are an asset if taught and guided well. Do you think Musk is likely to do that, or to instead encourage careless "technically impressive and profitable" behavior without regard to ethics or morals?
Extremely misleading title.

The software in question is the winning entry in a hackathon from 2020: https://github.com/DevrathIyer/ballotproof

Inside that repo they have a script called `generate.py` which generates ballot test data.

Look at it for yourself: https://github.com/DevrathIyer/ballotproof/blob/master/gener...

It's a ~100 line python script that generates some test data. The last commit on is as naive as "hope this works".

What a horrendously misleading title. It's just some kids making something with OpenCV to scan images. Ridiculous.
so in other words, "better targeting"? that's it?
That only works if radiation density and expansion are connected. General Relativity says that they aren't.

Resistance in democracy needs to be well-timed. Too early, and you don't have a critical mass of force to oppose the ruling regime and appear unreasonable. Too late, and it's too late to do anything.

The right moment is only obvious in retrospect.
Man, the LCD graphics look so good. Insane amount of polish too. I can't imagine how you could polish this any more.
He was trying to renege on Twitter so he could renegotiate the $52 price after the stock market came off its highs. To me the suspicious thing about the Twitter sale is why banks lent him the $13 billion to pull it off. The banks were then unable to move those loans off the books as Elon trashed Twitter's value.
Yeah, I was speaking a little fast and loose here since this was just the intro part. I was worried that it would actually be more confusing to say that we merged them and they pointed to different places... which is of course what actually happens.

Let me see if I can do that and save the clarity.
Yes! Absolutely this.

I have a personal rule that the cost of doing a side project is I have to blog about it. No regrets on that at all, it's a small thing that can greatly increase the value you derive from the project.
Check out playingcards.io or VirtualTableTop. These do exactly that, although the interface is a bit cumbersome on mobile
Those are different claims. I don't exactly know what frailty means technically, but this was a 5 year study on the elderly. Preserving organ health with a lifetime of omega 3 consumption is totally different.
They have a competent skin tone and sex. All these questions about "competence" and "merit" come up if a woman or black person have a professional career but look at recent hires for DoD head, Andreessen Horowitz partner, or DOGE and you see what they really mean
Jedlix had been acquired by Octopus in fact and specifically for the virtual power plant tech + EV integration.

What’s more challenging is that when it comes to EV charging in cities not a lot of people actually have their own charging station and need to use public ones. That means they’re in use all the time and “throttling” them causes availability problems.

One of the challenges would be to get people to charge their cars during the day when there usually is a power surplus (especially with solar when the weather is decent) but that’s a behavioural change that takes time.
I'm extremely puzzled why you're bringing transgender people into this. You could've said "an opera in Columbia" and have had an equally valid argument about fiscal responsibilty and America's meddling in other countries. You, however, felt that it was morally necessary to mention that this was to benefit transgender people trying to live their lives as if that's a unique negative to be avoided.

How _very_ interesting.
That's what I'm saying though - DOGE claims it is secure and all of the data is still in the hands of those (in)directly appointed by Trump.

I do not disagree with your sentiment though, but a little pedantry is needed here. It's not necessary for this to be a security breach to be bad. Given how poorly this data is being handled even among those who are "supposed" to have it, it's likely there will be a legitimate security breach soon enough.
Fascinating. I'll check back in with this HN account in 2040 then just for kicks.
And it "I don't think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid's life" was the entire thing JD said that would matter, but it's not everything he said.

You're literally just deleting the important part of the message to pretend a supporting comment is "the narrative".

It's hypocritical intellectual dishonesty to pretend JD's point was something other than what it obviously was.

If this is your argument, don't be surprised when people look up the facts, note that you're dishonest this way, and tune you out.
> which have secret testimonies

Tell me what this has to do with am having access to USAAID and the Treasury?
I use it on macos for all of my dev environments. So instead of a readme that tells me to install tools X,Y and Z, direnv notices that I'm now in the project directory and it makes those tools available and then when I switch to a different project I end up with different sets of tools (pinned to the same versions on all my machines, tracked by git).

It's a bit more involved than homebrew, but you end up with a very precise definition of what your project depends on. This prevents all kinds of headaches re: Linux and Mac users depending on subtly different versions of grep or sed. Plus you can recreate the same environment in CI and Prod without having to define those dependencies separately.

Or you could, if your team was bought in. That's the hard part.
What was the impressive and profitable part? The article makes him sound like a script kiddie who dicked around with some DDoS networks and formed a couple LLCs but didn't end up accomplishing much (either entrepreneurially or illegally). Not saying that makes him a terrible person, but in generation ago terms, he sounds less like a founding l0pht member and more like a Rusty n Edie's subscriber.

This is specifically about cold plunge immediately after strength training, there's no evidence this applies as a tradeoff in a more generic way.
Modern dress pants are often too tight, but with well fitting dress pants it's like you are not wearing any pants at all. For example classic design features like pleats provide extra comfort when sitting down. I don't think I ever seen jeans with such features.
> I challenge anyone intelligent to honestly say they didn’t have any really stupid opinions before their prefrontal cortex had finished developing.

Usually there are negative consequences for stupid actions.

Teenager has been on positive feedback loop for possibly ”not so good actions”. How difficult it is to turn the tide?
I think you're right, but it's not clear to me what we could do differently about that. Ultimately it derives from the fundamentals of the site. Most people don't see most of what gets posted here. I don't either.
I have no analytics or log analysis on my blog. The only way that I have any indication that it’s getting read are the rare occasions when someone leaves a comment, although in one case, it was the author of a book I wrote about responding to a bit of wondering at the end of the post: https://www.dahosek.com/100-phi-socrates-cafe/
I don't mean this negatively toward you in any way, but it is easy to say when you aren't in that situation.
A dark pattern on your self hosted blogging website is to backdate blog posts and make yourself seem very good at predicting future trends.

There is no reason why you have to write a blog over a long period of time, you could quickly pump out several blog posts and link to them to establish credibility quickly.
> They see the task as infiltrating an adversary, requiring someone with the technical skills to do so but who is also disposable.

People who have had access to that kind of data, and who have those kinds of skills, you'd better be careful about how you dispose of them. (Consider the term "blowback".)
The _Ops team needs an _Ops' team.

The game here is defining parts of the job away to be someone else's job or responsibility.
> Similarly, popular opinion in Israel likes to call Palestinians "Arabs" because they adopted the language of their conquerors.

That's not a practice imposed by the Israelis. The (genuine) Arabs, as you would expect, favored themselves. So, everywhere in their empire, social climbers claimed to be Arabs.

When you read about the history of the region, the luminaries who appear tend to be Persians, but this is obscured.
They work in winter provided there is enough sun.

If there’s no sun you’re looking at a different energy source which typically means electricity so you’re back to the demand problem when the weather is poor regarding renewable power.
Replacing the entire security clearance and access control system of the government with the say-so of one guy is immaterial?
How does general relativity say that?
The coup started well before January 20th. And likely with the blessing of VC funds like Y Combinator…watch this post, it’s a proverbial canary in the coal mine.
Indeed. And it absolutely destroys Safari on my Mac. (Works fine in Chrome, though.)
Where are all the links to models?
Air con is fairly rare here in NL although you do see more units popping up so it may be getting more popular.
OP was philosophizing. Why would anyone need any kind of clearance to access non-classified data. If they’ve been given permission by the head of the executive branch, what more authority do they need?
oh. I really didn't, can you tell me what made it sound that way? I'm autistic and freely admit that I get words incorrect, and miss contexts.

I'm mostly OK at programming, but I like to learn, and HN is full of people who are much, much smarter than me who also like to share their knowledge.

Thank you for replying. I wasn't trying to make a point, I was just trying to learn why a seemingly utility function wasn't in some shared /lib/timestamps.ts or whatever.

I won't bother you further.
