I certainly can't (and wouldn't want to) dispute what your lived experience has been, and I am sorry that you've found yourself in those kinds of situations and interpersonal dynamics. That sucks and is not how things should be. All I can say is that, going on my own experience, that is very much not the norm, at least not as far as I have seen and been aware.

To your point about being blind to what many around me are thinking- by definition, I wouldn't know if I was, right? So I'm not going to try and argue one way or another about that. I will say, however, that I have worked with many colleagues with whom I disagreed about many different things, some of which fall under the general umbrella of what one might call "identity politics", and as a general rule have been able to have open and civilized conversations with them. One thing I have learned is to not make any assumptions about what somebody does or doesn't think about a given topic, as basically every time I've done that I have been surprised.
Why would you, if you extensively tested the 2022 model and considered it garbage?

Here's how Bjarne describes that first C++ program:

"a simple program that writes every unique line from input to output"

Bjarne does thank more than half a dozen people, including other WG21 members, for reviewing this paper, maybe none of them read this program?

More likely, like Bjarne they didn't notice that this program has Undefined Behaviour for some inputs and that in the real world it doesn't quite do what's advertised.
I'm a hardliner on supporting this - I'd go further - all the DB code should be in SQL, with the database being manipulated by stored procedures and the db schema not even being exposed to the common developer.

As far as I know this is a very oldschool view on how to treat dbs, but I still think this is the only correct one.

I hate ORMs with a passion - they're just a potential source of bugs and performance issues, coming from either bugs in the engine, devs not understanding SQL, devs misjudging what query will get generated, leaky abstractions etc.

It's big enough of an ask to understand SQL itself, it's the height of folly to think you can understand SQL when it's being generated by some Rube-Goldberg SQL generator, especially if said generator advertises that you don't need to know SQL to use it.

One thing to watch out for is generalized depression. It can make it seem that all projects are not worth investing in. It may seem to be related to this project but it may be a wider issue for the individual.
Thank you! The SDKs are open-source, which I believe is the most important part. Users can verify how the integrations work and exactly what data is collected.

To me, privacy-focused also means to avoid collecting sensitive data in the first place. I'm hoping that mostly negates the need for self-hosting, in the spirit of keeping things simple for users.

That said, I'm definitely considering to support self-hosting in the future as well, and possibly open-sourcing the rest of the codebase.
Slightly more complicated because a ton of the abuse comes from IPs located western countries, explicitly to evade fraud and abuse detection. Now you can go after the western owners of those systems (and all the big ones do have have large abuse teams to handle reports) but enforcement has a much higher latency. To be effective you would need a much more aggressive system. Stronger KYC. Changes in laws to allow for less due-process and more "guilty by default" type systems that you then need to prove innocence to rebut.
within 7 hours of NYC you have a ton of amazing farms that supply NYC. many farms in the hudson valley but you'd be surprised how many farms all the way to vermont and maine that distribute their fresh produce to the city. you also have a lot of rural space within a day drive of NYC.

recently there was a massive flock of ducks that were culled at a farm in long island. all 19 million people don't eat eggs, but there are enough suburbs with green space surrounding the city that each of those neighborhoods could easily support their own egg production. that could surely help.

i have a big spreadsheet of farms within a day's drive of NYC if you would like me to help you find fresh eggs. i can share the distributors too, that would be a good resource if you want to help supply the 19 million people of NYC with fresh eggs.

> Where can the NYC metro area get fresh, local eggs to feed the 19 million people that live there?

trying to reduce this to something like "there is NO WAY this could ever work" isn't a strong argument.
I noticed that this particular job ad has been posted here third time in a row.

Also, post author comments from multiple accounts, claims to be the CTO for two companies, but also refuses to hire engineers working at two companies[1]. Technically nothing wrong with that, but also a bit funny.

It is a US based website, mostly about US tech companies. You may find it uninteresting but it has large impacts on these companies so would not be out of place here.
I never really liked the RPM system.
I mean there will be no West as we currently know it. The US is now a hostile state to former allies that collectively make up what we call the West. Thus the West disintegrates.

Each disintegrated part will of course defend itself in case of war, but other scenarios are possible. For example, the EU could actually move closer towards China for trade.

When the US threatens allies with economic disruption or even an invasion, don't be surprised if those countries make alternative plans and team up with alternative powers.
Yep. Whenever I say I am colourblind, people show me a tree and ask "what color is it?". And I have to explain that I know what red/green is.

An example I give is red flowers in green grass: I may not see the flowers at all unless I go very close.

Another one is while climbing indoors: say there is a purple route next to a blue one. Some handles I will clearly classify as blue, some clearly as purple, and some in the middle I won't be able to classify. But non-colourblind people will clearly be able to classify them all.

Replying to myself here - I think HIPAA (with encryption standards) + no sharing data (for ads or otherwise) is a pretty good offering and matches or exceeds other online therapy platforms (since none of them have e2ee). The only other enhancement I can think of besides HE is some form of private cloud (similar to apple) which might be more attainable in the near/medium term.

I did see you are doing work on HE so if you see this reply I'm curious to know what you think the feasibility is of HE for LLMs.
Yes that does happen and ideally the executive branch is responsible for enforcement, which creates an opportunity for the President to say no. But that undermines the courts and affects the faith people have in the Judicial system. The ramifications of that trust eroding are far and wide, and the economy would take a massive hit. People will then vote differently in 2 years and hope the legislative branch does its job.

One thing to also consider is that sometimes, the execution of the court orders will rely on local governments and locally elected officials in local enforcement bodies (like the Sheriff’s Office or the local PD). In that case, enforcement will vary across the country.
That would probably cause the kind of chaos the administration is trying to create in order to justify shutting down and privatizing these agencies.

> I checked reddit recently for the first time in a while, and I was shocked by how radicalized its become.

Reddit has always had these elements, but they were previously isolated to certain subreddits.

I noticed the biggest change when the app and website became aggressive about getting people to join other subreddits and inserting posts from other subreddits into people's feeds. Suddenly the isolated subreddits I followed were full of low effort content and angry comments.

Reddit's front page is shockingly bad. The amount of misinformation and ragebait that gets upvoted to the front page is almost hard to believe.

It's also interesting that many subreddits have embraced the ragebait. Subreddits like /r/AITA have been clear about how they don't care if stories are real or not, but legions of Redditors engage with obvious ChatGPT spam as if it was a real situation they need to weigh in on.

On the other hand, why not have implementations assert if they are given a string longer than 72 chars? It feels to me like no-one would ever do that on purpose, so it's a massive issue which is easy to accidentally make with a really important function.

Show HN: socialprov.ing – testimonial collection based on success milestones
Hi HN! I built socialprov.ing to solve a common problem I faced when running my B2B SaaS: collecting testimonials at the right moment. Most companies either never ask, don't have time , or send generic requests that get ignored.

What makes it different:

- API-first approach: Trigger testimonial requests automatically when customers hit success milestones (like first $1k in sales, X users onboarded, etc.), or send them manually!
- email sequences with automatic reminders (custom email sequences coming soon!)
- Two-way consent system where customers control how their testimonials are used
- Embeddable testimonial walls and widgets with metrics (NPS scores, satisfaction rates)

The core idea is simple: the best time to ask for a testimonial is right after your customer achieves something meaningful with your product. That's when they're most excited and likely to respond.

Example workflow:
- Customer hits $1,000 in monthly sales in your platform
- API call triggers a personalized testimonial request
- Customer gets an email celebrating their achievement and asking to share their experience
- After they respond, both parties approve how the testimonial can be used
- Approved testimonials automatically appear in your embedded displays

Coming Next:
- working on analytics/conversion tracking next
- AI generated case study drafts, with the same two way approval process
- Custom email domains - send your testimonial requests from your own domains
- connect Stripe/Lemon Squeezy for customer counts + automatically removing testimonials/content if a customer cancels

Would love feedback from the HN community.

What will AI do to (p)research?
Only one Electron app is tolerated on my computer, VSCode, and that is because for some stuff that is the only place I get plugins for, and that is about it.

Everything else, if there is a Web app, then I use the browser, no need to ship it alongside every single application out there.

It is like those garbage mobile apps, that are exactly the same website that I can access via the Webbrowser, packaged inside a "native" app.

And I say this as someone that works primarly in distributed systems and Web.
It's not one or the other, though. AI-controlled drones are already a thing in Ukraine, today.

Ultimately the onus is on the people claiming a genetic component to find it and prove it. There are known social issues and have been for quite some time, after all there are people alive today who experienced segregation.

So if there's some genetic bias at play, as long as the social issues are right there staring us in the face, you're going to need to advance the science of genetics to get the answer. Without that it just comes off "race science" and that kind of thing.
I agree that the time unit should be in the variable name. The code itself should do a good job of explaining "what" is happening, but you generally need comments to explain "why" this code exists. Why is the test advancing the time, and why are we advancing the time at this line of the test?

networkTimeMs++; // Callback occurs after timeout

timeSec++; // Advance time to check whether dependent properties update

utcTime++; // Leap second, DON'T advance ntpTime
Absolutely, though sometimes it's more about reading code or 'playing' with code than writing/committing code. I try to always be hoping around my codebase during meetings.

Not if there's no federal or insurance company mandate.

Also, you're assuming that there's a market for rootkits/implants, and "tailored access operations", rather than incident responders and checklist reviewers, which is what the giant bulk of corporate cyber security involves.
It's not a coincidence. Companies know that if they suddenly raised the cost of their products 100% consumers would protest. At a certain point people will notice that they're being cheated and change their shopping habits accordingly.

Companies use opportunities like bird flu outbreaks to rip off consumers while deflecting blame. When the nation's largest supplier of eggs didn't have a single bird infected they still jacked up their prices and colluded with other farms to keep prices high and supply low because the news was constantly telling consumers about bird flu and setting an expectation that prices would be higher.

When the pandemic came, there were legitimate supply chain issues and many companies took the opportunity to appeal directly to their customers saying "We hate to increase prices at a time when every household is suffering, but we have no choice because of the supply chain! We're all in this together!" and because consumers knew we were in an unprecedented situation, while they still weren't happy about the price increases, they didn't blame the corporations for it.

The corporations however took advantage of the situation and continued increasing prices far higher than they needed to and for much longer than they needed to. Consumers didn't start to catch on until much much later when the news began reporting that all these companies were making record breaking profits the entire time. Meat packers for example had their profit margins increase 300%. Unfortunately by then they'd already been working hard to plant the idea that their high prices were caused by the disaster relief checks that went out to households during lockdowns. Then they blamed the "inflation" their own greed was feeding to justify raising their prices even higher. The more the news talked about inflation the more companies could rip you off because the expectation of higher prices was set.

The truth usually comes out eventually. Mostly when we finally see what the profit margins look like. They can hide some of it with clever investments and hollywood accounting, but it's harder to hide the money they make for shareholders and while they're doing everything they can to trick the public into thinking that we should feel sorry for them and sacrifice more for them, they're also busy telling investors that they're pulling in record profits and their pockets are overflowing with our cash.
Yeah that clarification helps and I agree there - there's a bunch of exceptions of 'joking bets' etc. I first read the offer as "I'll give you $100 if you can run there and back in under a minute" rather than each party being able to win the $100 which would indeed satisfy the consideration requirement.

I think most people who care about code have a bit of OCD over these things, but there is a difference between how the code looks vs. how it is structured. I think that's what the author means.

This functionality, when it is widely available, solves the slowest and hardest part of the magic that DOM diffing libraries like morphdom provide.

Much is being made of how it will impact client libraries in other threads, but it's actually driving changes from the server which is most helped by this seemingly simple feature.

To make this real, imagine that you are connected to a collaborative (realtime multi-user) app and someone else drags to reorder an item in a list. Let's say that item has a text box that you're typing into. In today's browsers, all but the most clever implementations will clobber your changes. When this drops, the item you're typing into should be able to be programmatically moved to a different location in the DOM and you won't even lose focus.

That's a big freaking deal that makes server-rendered systems like StimulusReflex, LiveView, Hotwire and HTMX even more desirable options compared to SPAs.
There’s AWS Bedrock Knowledge Base (Amazon proprietary RAG solution) which can digest PDFs and, as far as I tested it on real world documents, it works pretty well and is cost effective.
Don't disagree there. I asked my self the same question the first few times I had to use it.

Silently truncating the data is about the worst way to deal with it from a security standpoint. No idea why that decision was made back in the day.
Now try adjusting for population. Here are the figures from the story:

> In the first 10 months of 2024, the Canadian border service reported seizing 10.8lb (4.9kg) of fentanyl entering from the US, while US Border Patrol intercepted 32.1lb (14.6kg) of fentanyl coming from Canada.

So the US is exporting 242 doses per 1000 Canadians to Canada. Canada is exporting 84 does per 1000 Americans to the US.
