I think you should read this report. They made heavy use of many advanced features of Scala 2. Few codebases look like this (and very, very few need to) yet they were able to do it.

Moreover, they didn't need to do it. What makes it similar to the Python 2 -> 3 situation is the lack of urgency to migrate, because nobody suffers for not migrating. That's a good thing.
If these tools had a runtime check, then the cache key creation would have failed out.

72 is the max length of id, username, and password combined. If that combination is over 72, then failure and the cache key would not have been created. So, no, the attacker would not need to guess only one character of a password.

If even one person here doesn't yet have a fast-reading food thermometer I have to evangelize for them here. Good ones that instantly read used to cost like $75, and the cheap kind would take literal minutes to arrive at the real temp, but I think someone in China figured out the secret and brought the price down to like $14. Mine has a magnet and I keep it right next to the microwave and air fryer. It has made it tremendously easier to get food correctly heated through, in both devices.

The other thing I believe in strongly is, for most things, using 40-60% power and heating the food about twice as long as your original instincts say, for more even heating.
> I'm not sure why you're comparing the gross margin of a car company to an internet company.

Because the benchmark set was "insane". I agree no car company gets insane profitability levels. Tesla was never insanely profitable by most metrics.
I somehow ended up doing the same. Probably as a result of too many failed heroic attempts at modifying read-only code in one big go.

Now any heroic modification of code comes in a series of incontroversial, isolated and testably idempotent modifications, followed by a minimal change to business logic.
"Xi Jinping's secret skill" gave me a good laugh.
> Why would someone with those skills and qualifications...

Well, because there is more to building a business than code? I certainly know engineers who can be a one-man wrecking crew to build out an initial product. But I don't know any of them who also want to do sales and marketing, accounting and fundraising, HR and the legal side of things.

As far as why they are called "Founding Engineers"... meh, it is just a title, and trends in titles come and go.
You can also see an uptick in cheating after a certain point, leading me to believe that potentially some of their additional measures were effective, until cheat makers learned how to get around them.

I don't think that's a big concern since everything gets cooked into oblivion. With something like this, nobody is trying to hit some sweet spot and get vegetables or whatever else to be al dente. Everything is boiled for many hours until all bacteria is killed off.
If you're having a team going into every bit of government data, you might want to vet them. Beyond eugenicists and racists, if they're getting anywhere close to SCIFs, make sure they fill out that SF-86 accurately. And maybe even if they're not, have them go through regular clearance procedures.

Yes, it takes time. But right now, DOGE seems like a huge security risk for the USG what with it setting up backdoors everywhere, and with unvetted staff working for it.

Sounds like it could potentially be a cheaper (and maybe less fire prone) battery where weight and volume is less of a concern - maybe batteries for residential / commercial buildings or grid storage ?

Possible also easier recycling - especially locally close to the battery.

Even compared to LFP (much higher cycle longevity than the article quotes) these sound like they retain energy capacity much better
Thank you for the suggestion and nice words. Trust me, I have to sit here and laugh at the stuff I write too, because I wasn’t always a believer. So it’s a little bit of a trip for me too, I’m still exploring my own existence.

One more consideration is whether a team of people have invested time building a mental map of the current code. Perhaps some rearrangement would be better, faster, clearer, or have some other virtue. But that benefit has to be balanced against invalidating the mental caches of all the other team members.

More than once, I've studied code and become adept at maintaining it. Then someone "refactors" everything and I have to invest the effort again. After a few cycles of this, I lose interest in ever seeing the code again. At that point, I can no longer orient a new dev to the code because I'm no longer oriented myself.
Similar project: gowitness [1].

A really cool tool i recently discovered. Next to scraping and performing screenshots of websites and saving it in multiple formats (including sqlite3), it can grab and save the headers, console logs & cookies and has a super cool web GUI to access all data and compare e.g the different records.

I'm planning to build my personal archive.org/waybackmachine-like web-log tool via gowitness in the not-so-distant future.

Not so if you EMI tape the GOS phone case, disable USB-C except for charging, use second profile to encrypt your actual data so you can attest before decrypting, and keep it turned off and in aeroplane mode when not in use. See my comments.
We find that most of the other half of the warming was caused by a restriction on aerosol emissions by ships, which was imposed in 2020 by the International Maritime Organization to combat the effect of aerosol pollutants on human health

That is quite startling. It took decades of accumulation for CO2 to cause 1.5C of warming. This effect caused .2C in just a few years.

That does suggest that geoengineering isn't quite as unlikely as I'd thought. But an effect that powerful risks unexpected effects that are even worse.
The fact you can't recognize how propaganda can distort the reality of the issues you are listing above, makes one question if you actually understand what propaganda is, or have any interest in understanding reality.

I won't ever claim it's a simple picture, but there's enough peer-reviewed information out on the web to elaborate on your 3 rather unspecific talking points.
We can hold your hand if it's too scary to google each of your issues above, I do have empathy that changing ones belief system is scary, but the alternative is delusion.
I'm not involved in the OpenSSL/CNG-based Microsoft Go fork.

I've managed and implemented—along with Daniel McCarney, Roland Shoemaker, and Russ Cox—the native upstream Go validation mentioned in the intro, which is shipping in Go 1.24 and will be certified on Linux (amd64, arm64, ppc64le, s390x), Windows (amd64, arm64), macOS (arm64), and FreeBSD (amd64). The Linux operating environments were funded by various stakeholders, the rest were funded by Geomys for the benefit of the Go community.

There are some details now at https://go.dev/doc/security/fips140, but we're going to write a proper blog post once the module gets on the CMVP In Process list.

tl;dr is that it should soon take a single environment variable to transparently build against a FIPS 140-3 validated module which is just a slightly out of date version of the same Go standard library everyone else is using. (AFAIK this is the first non-JVM memory safe FIPS 140 module!)

Ask HN: List of consumer AI/consumer hardware startups?
just finished an internship as a design engineer/creative tech at Tesla, was thinking of where I wanted to go next, and in my mind that's somewhere in the ai consumer/consumer hardware space. I think there's a lot of novel problems to solve in that space that haven't been tackled before, but I'm not sure what companies to look into other than:

- Humane AI
- Rabbit
- Rewind Pendant
- Friend

I was thinking that if i was 10 years older I would have loved to work on Pebble (smartwatch co)

Does anyone has any other consumer ai/consumer hardware startups they recommend I look into?
I didn't know Bill Hamilton super well although I am friends with a lot of the TechSmith employees there past and present. This does capture the man I knew pretty darned well though. The Lansing area is a small market with TechSmith and LiquidWeb being the only really big successes locally.
I agree that the perpetual part is kind of gimmicky, but having a stew for a week or two and stretching it out with additional ingredients can be a big time saver and, as you said, in some ways it gets better with time as it's cooked more.

> good translationally invariant operators are essentially convolutions.

I first learned this seemingly obvious in hindsight corollary from another comment on HN [1] and it blew my mind. I wish it was included in the usual descriptions of why we choose complex exponential basis for things like the Laplace transform. It's all well and good that they're eigenfunctions of translations, but it still left me wondering why we care about that in the first place.

(If your first exposure is instead from a physics or EE perspective, I suspect the framing would be more obvious, as compared to how it's usually introduced in DiffEq when the choice of basis just seems like a "neat" trick given that it behaves well under differentiation).

The other day, I read a comment on the Wired post stating: "Really, all this article says is that if you are an auditor for the commission appointed by the president, we will make sure that this comes up in an aggressively negative way when somebody who you want to work for googles you. It's pure intimidation, masquerading as journalism."

Well, it seems these young men were chosen for qualities that should make them feel intimidated. It's our moral imperative as Americans to hold these people accountable, criminally accountable if necessary. If these men are promoting racist and un-American sentiments with the intention of not being caught, they are trying to fool the entire nation at once. Clearly that cannot persist.
I could tell you not to worry, but I don't think I will.

How about embracing it? Think it all the way through: If software development completely disappears as a profession, what impact would it have on other possible jobs, on society? What are the potential bad outcomes from that? What would that mean for your ability to survive and enjoy yourself? What would you do?

You'd find a way to make the best of it, I suppose. And the best is as good as it gets. Maybe this imaginary new world sucks, maybe not. You're young, from the sound of it. You get to be around for the future, when I'm long gone, that's kinda cool. I'm sure you'll find a way, you seem like a clever person.

I find there's something powerful about thinking the worst case scenario through, and feeling somewhat prepared for it. Makes it easier to focus on the present.
I had a Facebook account long ago, deleted it (and my Twitter and my LinkedIn) both because I thought social media was going crazy and because LinkedIn had personally brought ruin into my life.

Recently I made a new Facebook account to go with my Quest 3 VR headset. I don't find too much appealing about Facebook, posted a little, haven't used it much. I wanted to make an Instagram account because I want to post flower and sports photographs, really inoffensive stuff that would do well on the platform. Whenever I try to create an Instagram account, linked to my Facebook account or not, I get a message saying there was an error and I should try again later but later never comes.

Talking to support about it gets no response. I don't know if my history of deleting my account long ago is the cause or if it is something else.

A person I know who committed a misdemeanor is now on probation and one term of his probation is that he stay off social media, though he can use ordinary web sites. I saw a poster for a board game club which is exactly the kind of community activity that his probation officer would approve of, but the only information on the sign is the title and a QR code that points to... A Facebook group. There are plenty of other people who choose not to use Facebook for various reasons who are also excluded by this.

The world badly needs something to support community organizations because of the problems pointed out in this movie based on Robert Putnam's work:

It's not difficult to approach this as a startup, but it is a devilishly hard problem to sustain it without being attached to something toxic like personalization-based advertising. There are plenty of foundations which could afford to fund this kind of effort (e.g. you could kill it at $1M a year if you weren't paying Bay Area wages and didn't have nonprofit bloat) but if anything the ability to fill out the paperwork from grants is inversely proportional to being able to execute on this sort of thing.

I don't know, if anything the Scala situation seems much worse than the Python situation. The language looks completely different and there is no easy migration path (not that Python had one, but at least the language was almost the same and you could with some effort write code that worked in both versions).

We are in Scala 2.13 and while there are talks about migrating there is no actual plan. Looking at this blog post the situation seems to be more dire than I initially expected. I think we will only end up migrating when the situation becomes unsustainable (libraries stop supporting Scala 2).
If history is any indication, we won't see any Apple consumer robots until quite some time after robots get some initial adoption and deployment by more generic companies.
I'm not sure what some of these initialisms are but the whole idea behind disclosing is to take tools away from the bad guys (whoever you think they are) because presumably they'll have found some of them too.
I learned assembly on a 6809 (TRS-80 CoCo) platform. It was only later that I really appreciated how cool of a CPU it really was.

It’s a shame that Tandy missed the boat on including coprocessors for game support in their computers, especially that one. If they’d just included decent audio and maybe something for sprite management it would’ve been highly competitive.

Free advice (though, worth less than free, because A) it's unsolicited B) it's saying "don't do it")

TL;DR:

- Turns out that if you do UXR, even if computer use is 100% successful in the action execution, and there's no latency, people don't use it. (interesting to me is, the core demo was buying airline tickets, and so is OpenAI's. no one would defer to a computer on that, for humanist / design reasons)

- You're not going to be able out-do model companies on building models, they have too much funds.

- Try writing GUI-based integration tests. Then imagine an LLM, miraculously, always chooses the right route. Does the UX look good?

- Note the reasoning models are worse at tool calling. It's very, very, VERY stark when you have Claude next to o1/4o. OpenAI also owns up to this in the o3-mini paper, though its not under a blaring red line headline or phrased that straightforwardly.

- Why is that? You're fighting against the current when you're trying to teach the next token predictor to throw a bunch of text out there to <think>, then generate perfectly correct JSON/python/whatever given N tools.

CLI, though....

I thought there are restrictions about who can assign issues and who they can be assigned to? So, I would not expect that other users would be able to use it on your repositories (unless an exception is made, but I think it would be better if an exception is not made, so that other users can't use this feature on your repositories).

I’m not an expert so maybe someone else can chime in if I’m wrong, but: farmed salmon is not dyed pink. Their feed is supplemented with carotenoids like astaxanthin. These are substances they get in their diet naturally in the wild, is necessary for their health, and is also responsible for the pink color. This is the same class of chemicals which gives flamingos their distinctive pink colors. Flamingos, like wild salmon, eat algae and small crustaceans, both of which contain a lot of carotenoids.

Eating a lot of carotenoids can give humans (especially light skinned ones) carotenosis, which is a distinct orange or yellow tint of the skin. You have to eat quite a bit to get it though.

I gave it a made up single line story about a junior developer committed too many bugs, and how I got them to fix other people's bugs instead. What it generated was clichéd, vacuous, and completely fake, masquerading as some deep insight- so exactly like LinkedIn. Well done OP. Here it is:

> Want to know how I turned a struggling junior dev into a code quality champion?

> Here's a leadership lesson I learned that changed everything:

> When one of my junior developers kept pushing buggy code, I tried something different instead of just correcting him.

> I assigned him to fix OTHER people's bugs.

> The magic? He started experiencing the frustration of dealing with problematic code firsthand.

> This shifted his perspective completely:
> - From writing code to maintaining it
> - From creator to problem solver
> - From individual contributor to team player

> The result? His code quality improved dramatically. But more importantly, he developed a deeper understanding of why clean code matters.

> Key leadership insight: Sometimes the best way to teach isn't to tell, but to let people experience the problem from the other side.

> Remember: Great developers aren't just good at writing code - they're excellent at thinking about who'll read it next.

> Leadership lesson: The most powerful learning moments often come from experiencing the consequences of poor practices firsthand.
