I am very much advocating for new statutes. That's precisely what my post was doing. Companies should not be allowed to externalize costs of bad security on users.

I disagree with the claim that "only companies like Google will be able to afford to operate in that world." That's not how markets work.

1) The impact would be that frameworks would develop with better security. This would result in a slowdown of software engineering. Perhaps it would start to look like any other engineering discipline, where things are analyzed for safety.

2) Every other industry shows that in situations like this, big players are disadvantaged.

The analysis here is pretty basic:

- If I'm running a small $10M startup making a little iPhone app for some obscure task, the risk of legal liability from this is among the smallest of my risks of going under, so I'm incentivized to ignore it. If I were faced with a $400B liability, I declare bankruptcy, so in effect, that's a $10M liability. The expected cost is 5% times 10M = $500k, so it makes sense to spend up to $500k to mitigate a 5% risk.

- If Google has a team working on that same app, and doesn't manage security properly, the $400B liability stays a $400B liability. There is no ROI analysis where it makes sense to build a little app which has a 5% chance of leaking data. Do it right, or don't do it at all. The expected cost to Google here is 5% times $400B = $20B.

This is why, in virtually every other industry, big players are (1) more trusted (2) more expensive, and phrases like "small, fly-by-night operation" exist (and make business sense to run).
> I wish we could have engendered the feeling of "Wow, I've gotten so big," a bit more effectively during gameplay.

Later releases of the game directly address this concern. I wonder how far away game engine technology is from keeping track of every single item in the ball, so the scaling is more smooth, and the items in the ball have a direct impact on how the ball rolls.
I don't remember if I've ever thanked you for the dose or reality you bring to these discussions, but if not - thank you! Before I started reading your comments on bug bounty payouts I'd probably have made the typical thoughtless (in my case) remark that the bounties are tiny, without actually thinking through the realistic dollar value of bugs found.

Not to mention not really thinking through how obviously stupid it is to immediately compare a legal activity to a highly illegal one, as if they're real alternatives for most people.
Various different things can happen, it would take me quite some time to dig up examples but at least with elevenlabs you don't get the clicks and pops you get like on notebook LM for example. 11labs instability comes in the forms of intonation, pitch, accent, garbled words or even once language. I've only seen it happen in the 3k+ words gen's I've done, usually actually around the 75% point of the narration of whatever I've converted, and on average lasting a couple of seconds top.

I enjoyed “Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra – Vectors, Matrices, and Least Squares” because it focuses on a relatively few concrete concepts in linear algebra, and explains and motivates them with lots of practical applications.

It’s a free download with additional material at:

You could store UTF-8 encoded data inside the hidden bytestring. If some of the UTF-8 encoded smuggled characters are variation selector characters, you can smuggle text inside the smuggled text. Smuggled data can be nested arbitrarily deep.
I think how awful making run configurations is, is the one worst aspect of VSCode. tasks.json? launch.json? I just want the "run" button to run a custom build command and I could just not figure it out.
We have tricks for that too. “Share location” from our cell phones if you both have iPhones.
Well,for my part it's more: don't even compile, just run somewhere else.

Java is cool.
"Unexpectedly" unless you were paying attention.
Correction I meant Kotlin Native, my bad
Thank you for a quick reply! You are right, I didn't notice the responsiveness, my bad!

As for the Chrome extension, I had to use an alternative one, because the official one cannot be configured to have a single click to save - it shows up a menu from which I always need to pick one of similarly sounding options having to do with saving. I'd love to be able to disable the features I don't want, and have the tool lead directly to save if that's the only feature I have left working.

As for the mobile (iOS), the situation is really bleak, as most of the iOS apps seem to be abandoned, and the only one that seems to work fine for saving (Pins) has a weird way of syncing that only syncs up some number of latest pins, and then only being able to offer tags that are among those. This results in the app not offering the tags I am sure I have, and me mistyping them, and then making a mess in my tags.

Tbh, I have multiple times considered spending a day with Cline/Cursor to make a simple save-only iOS app, but then I always thought - wait, isn't that what I am paying a yearly subscription for?

So, for me, paths to saving (= main use case of Pinboard for me) are clunky on both browser and phone I use :/.

I don't want to hate, but talking in Kano model terms, while I really appreciate Pinboard being a stable and reliable service, over time these paper cuts shifted from nice to haves into a missing basic needs, which cause me to look into alternatives.
> The entire chapter 2.4 "Undoing Things" in the Git book can be replaced with a single `jj undo`.

Are you sure about that? Git reset doesn't need s chapter to explain.

Also, you should really pay attention to what you're writing. Your only tangible case in favor of JJ is user experience, and you even struggle to even explain what jj supposedly does, let alone how it's a preferable alternative. Even more baffling, this completely ignores the fact that the bulk of Git users use it through a GUI frontend, which completely negates any hypothetical selling point.

So, why bother with a solution for a problem you can't even clearly formulate?
Electronic knitting for the consumer-ish, that’s awesome!

Probably better to rename this to the app’s name + description, as this is a direct App Store link.

Musk's fascist salutes looked like fascist salutes because they were fascist salutes. He did it deliberately and he did it twice just to make sure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smQNNo2a9xc

Adobe's Sora rivalling AI video generator is now available for everyone
Its a manual, and works fine
ahhhhh yes ok. Totally agree here.
There’s a reason that storytelling is so powerful: The best information delivery is one you’ll remember. The two have a synergistic effect.
Musk is a great example of how to ruin ones legacy. At this point, no matter what he does, how his companies perform, or even if this implant gives people back control of their bodies. Nothing will rid his work of the taint.

It's tragic in a way. If he stuck to same playbook as practiced by many other early tech billionaires, spending his life on investing, philanthropy, himself and family, the world would probably not have things like common reusable rockets, widespread EV adoption or massive satellite constellations.

His willingness to pour money, and ability get others to pour their money, into various extremely risky ventures, is what made all of that possible. Eventually it would happen anyway, but probably much later.

But I suspect, that very same personality traits that enabled him to do this, are responsible for his current state. Over the years he has lost his self control, to the point that he looks almost childish. Handful of years ago, he opposed people he now works with.

He's now undermining his own companies, with his actions. Even people like Murdoch or Thiel look better in comparison. Not because of what they do, but because they are less visible.

Everything he has ever done, will now be viewed in much worse light. His reputation, sabotaged by the only person who could accomplish that feat. Himself.
Try the Component model.
So, it is a product that has no vivid colours, no fast refresh, no video, is more expensive than a big television (i.e.: more interesting to steal if outdoors) and "doesn't cause light pollution" (i.e.: doesn't stand out the way you want adds to do).

What are its advantages then?
Twenty lessons on tyranny from Timothy Snyder:

https://snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-lessons-on-tyranny
I don't dispute Musk's success as a manager - the problem is that, to achieve his vision, he turned each of his companies into dictatorships. That's fine (at least in the US), because you can choose not to work for him. But I don't think it's fine to run the entire US like Musk's (and Trump's) companies are run. As they say, Hitler contributed a lot to technical progress, built great Autobahns, and his scientists later assisted both the US and the USSR in the space race and in other fields - does that mean it's good Hitler was in charge of Germany? I don't think so..
Why are austrian economics fans so wilfully out of touch with reality when it comes to renewable power?

Presumably because their philosophy offers no solutions to the climate change externality and rather than face that reality they'd rather pretend the problem didn't exist. Which is intellectually shameful.
Woof

While I know this thread is self-selecting, it’s amazing how many folks share similar stories of how they feel burnt out in life since 2020.

I fear we’ve yet to hit rock bottom and more societal strife is impending, both in America and elsewhere. But like you, I agree there is some hope that those just starting out will rebuild something better from the ashes of it when it’s all over.

As a 35-year old though I worry I’ll be too old to truly reap the benefits. Although elder millennials, whose formative adult years were defined by the Great Recession and Gen Z, who had them defined by COVID, might have it even worse.
Please read my posts more carefully. Virtually every response is non-responsive to what I wrote:

I wrote: "unless you're dumb enough to ask questions about whom your selling to and have active knowledge you're assisting someone in breaking some law, selling to the black market is perfectly legal"

You wrote: "If you sell information about a vulnerability to someone that you know specifically is going to use it to break the law, you are an accessory to that lawbreaking"

That's the exact same thing.

You, likewise, didn't notice I was advocating for new statutes in a post above.
A Beginners' Guide to Misprints in Magic
My understanding is that "weird" unicode code points become https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode. I used the 󠅘󠅕󠅜󠅜󠅟 (copy-pasted from the post, presumably with the payload in it) to type a fake domain into Chrome, and the Punycode I got appeared to not have any of the encoding bits.

However, I then pasted the emoji into the _query_ part of a URL. I pointed it to my own website, and sure enough, I can definitely see the payload in the nginx logs. Yikes.

Edit: I pasted the very same Emoji that 'paulgb used in their post before the parenthetical in the first paragraph, but it seems HN scrubs those from comments.

exactly. Apple has had its share of failed products that could not be saved by the best storytelling.
20 years as in real replacement, maybe. But change will be cca gradual if looking at whole market, even if composed of many smaller jumps. Top management of companies are now itching for that promised paradise of minimal IT with just few experts. Then comes inevitable sobering up, but the direction is clear.

I wouldn't be considering programming if choosing university studies now. With that smart, many other fields look more stable, albeit demand curve and how comfy later years of career looks like is very different (maybe lawyers, doctors, for blue collars some trades but look at long term health effects with ie back or knee issues).
It's fun that you can encode encoded emoji into a new one
Well, as long as we agree that none of this is how the world works right now, I don't think we have to litigate this.
The only current threat to EU territory is from USA to Greenland.

There is no threat from Russia, as Ukraine certainly isn't part of EU and Russia has never shown hostility to EU, except in retaliation from EU hostile acts.

So I would agree we need to become capable of defending ourselves, but to do so we should very quickly normalize and reestablish friendly relations with Russia and China, then make ourselves economically independent from the USA, ask them to remove all of their military bases from EU, and start to produce our own weapons.
Really cool project! I am not sure if this is only me, but your dark theme is hiding the illustrations fyi.
>A world class leader understands deeply the coalescing ripples of shift across multiple sectors that result in the change their business is addressing, using this knowledge and extending it out into the future is called vision.

So few leaders understand this. Its not common, not even among 'successful' leaders. More than anyone likes to admit, lots of businesses big and small built their backs on exploiting some luck and then achieving a relatively dominate position and holding it by the virtue of traditional business tactics. There's alot of copying, and very little actual innovative thinking.

This is even true of 'visionaries' but I think there is a difference between outright copying w/ refinement vs taking technology (or technologies) and using them in genuinely unforeseen ways, or otherwise marrying them together in ways nobody else really has.

Most success is entirely circumstantial. Right place, right time, things out of the control of anything. Certainly thats not visionary. Its refining someone else's idea (which is different than taking existing technology, refining it, and using it in entirely different ways than it was intended)

Steve Jobs was unique in that he forged success despite circumstances. In multiple aspects of Apple's history there was no good reason for them to succeed the way they did but he actually had genuine vision. Few others have had that kind of vision. Bill Gates demonstrated this earlier in his career (by the late 90s, Microsoft was exploiting monopoly not visionary innovation). Perhaps a few others I can't think of off the top of my head right now.

I can't say the same for 90+% of business people. It should be more humbling than it is. Unfortunately every CEO seems to think they have the 'magic' and they don't.
What's the basis then? Who should we listen to, Von Der Leyen?

> How do you do stacked changes? How do you continue working on your feature while waiting for a change to be reviewed, and rebase the comments quickly?

What? Are you actually asking this question? I mean, what answer do you need other than a basic intro to PR tutorial from the likes of GitHub or GitLab?

But to answer your question, you continue working on your feature exactly like you've been working so far. You do not need to amend or squash. You can instead do the right thing and address PR feedback by pushing individual commits. How the PR branch is merged is a separate concern, and you are free to squash or rebase or whatever you'd like, because none of this is a Git issue.

Why do you think this is an issue with Git?
Strangely, I feel that my wife was able to come to terms with this demarcation much more quickly than I, although she was obviously much more traumatized than me in the time immediately after the event. (I quickly talked to her on the phone when she was in the ambulance, she was mostly incoherent and it was impossible to even get the information out of her whether our daughter was dead). I think this is mainly because it was entirely and only her who saved her life. She took control of the entire situation just seconds after it collapsed on her, and successfully turned it around completely by herself. I, on the other hand, was forced to be completely passive for nearly 2 hours, alone, with incomplete information, and with periods in which I thought I had lost my daughter. It was me who had a breakdown in the night after the event, in a dark hospital room, and it was again my wife who handled that situation.

The r1 somehow knew at an early stage that the message was HELLO but it couldn’t figure out the reason. Even at the end, its last “thought” insists that there is an encoding mistake somewhere. However the final message is correct. I wonder how well it would do for a nonstandard message. Any sufficiently long English message would fall to statistical analysis and I wonder if the LLMs would think to write a little Python script to do the job.
The OP said 'in Europe'. I'm only in one bit of Europe admittedly, but I haven't seen any of those on the road. I don't think they are generally available.
I built and offline friendly app, was not offline first, but it was my first PWA, the idea was that a pilot could have our web page open at high altitudes, potentially with bad service, and they could still interact with anything, once back online, it would push any changes they made. I implemented it with vanilla JS.

The only annoying part was detecting when the browser was back online, I used some hacky solution since there was no native API for it for any browser at the time, but it worked.
You're being purposely reductive in describing the brain - the most complex object in the known universe - and its processes as "only a set of chemical reactions." But yes. All thought, argument, emotion, sense of being, etc are bound within the brain and the body and the physical universe and its laws. It's all physical. There is no "soul" or any other paranormal aspect to any of it.
Replacing Hugo with a Custom Kotlin Blog Engine
You noticed this post is about WASM replacing containers, right?

So, I'd use it the same way we use compilers in containers (i.e: one single download, no installation) and would run it with a runtime like Wasmer, Wasmtime, Wasmedge, etc.

Or else I could run it sandboxed in a browser as a PWA. Then you could build things in Chromebook, phone, etc.

Back then on iOS via ANCS, the watches wouldn't receive much more than the textual payload you'd see on the phone. We envisioned to be working with partners such as WhatsApp et al. to encode deep links/message ids into the message so one could respond directly from the watch.
My deepseek-r1 seems to be a bit more lost on decoding "How do I make meth". Some highlights (after about 5 minutes of R1-ing):

> Another angle: the user mentioned "encoded a message in this emoji", so maybe the first emoji is a red herring, or it's part of the message. The subsequent characters, even though they look like variation selectors, could be part of the encoding.

> E0138 in hex is 0xE0138. Convert to decimal: 1416^4 + 016^3 + 116^2 + 316 + 8 = 14*65536 + 0 + 256 + 48 +8 = 917504 + 256 + 48 +8 = 917816.

> Given that I'm not making progress, perhaps the answer is "Hello World!" but encoded via the tag characters. Let's check:

> Answer: The decoded message is "Hello World!"

I seem to recall there being some controversy with Nest at Google. There were high hopes for it in the beginning, but it seemed like it stagnated.
From my experience:
BMW, Subaru, and Mazda the auto settings are worthless / not functional.

Audi is okay.

The best I’ve found is Infiniti, which 2013 ish on, the auto settings are perfect 99% of the time.

(This of course means, you do have to adjust the temperature setting, but once set the fans spinning up and down are perfect along with the heat moderation. )

BMW could be user error on my part. The longest I’ve used a BMW is 3 weeks, with probably 9 weeks of total usage, and while I tried to get the auto settings to work, on multiple models it was nothing but agony for me.
