But we can see the group profits. They’re right at 20 gross and much lower net. You’re arguing they’re double booking profits; that should show more profits. There aren’t more profits.

Also, other comments praise Kaiser for being more consolidated. Is your argument care at Kaiser is much worse?
It was particularly messy in this case.
As I mentioned in my comment, during previous boom-bust cycle, the leadership that had P/L responsibilities (Engineering Leadership, Group/Directors PM) would remain in the US.

But after the COVID layoffs happened, impacted H1B, EB1/2, and O1 visa holders returned to their home countries, and then got rehired by the same employers but for $60k-130k TC (depending on country).

A lot of mid-late career product and engineering leadership was laid of in 2020-21, and those guys have now founded the new generation of foreign offices.
It's not a bluff, it's basic practice to record calls when the interactions are high stakes. This was just a social media fight, but when the issue is malpractice or someone has died you can guarantee the lawyers will want recordings of those calls.

In states where recording requires consent you will get a pre-recorded message at the beginning of the call warning you that it's being recorded.
>it's not about inclusivity and the term America does not refer to the continent.

The last five to ten years of activist similarly told us these things don't matter though. Doesn't matter that "blacklist" or "master" has nothing to do with Black people or slavery. We had to change them to more inclusive terms anyway.

>The term "Gulf of Mexico" has been in common use for over 400 years, long before the US was even a thing.

The exact same was said about "blacklist" and "master", among others.

>No one had a legitimate problem with the name.

Someone did, evidenced by the change. Or are you saying we shouldn't give in to the activists pushing this change? How ironic.

I don't think the specific section needs to mention it - the entire page is about Advertising on Steam, which according to the opening paragraph, includes in-game adverts. The rest of the page elaborates with examples of things they do and don't condone.

These ads are indeed paid for by the company itself, but seem to be permitted by the policy. The intent/spirit of the policy seems to be to prevent games showing ads for arbitrary other games/things, for example BL3 showing ads for Candy Crush Saga - this isn't allowed by this policy, i.e. games that are paid to show other people's ads.

Gearbox showing BL4 ads in BL3 etc, it seems to count as cross promotion, they're not being paid for the act of showing the ad and is OK according to Steam - "These types of promotions are encouraged and many customers find value in them."

Perhaps the wording of the policy could use some work to make things clearer.

Though I disagree to most of things said here, I do agree that the new fleet of software engineers won't be that technically adapt. But what if they don't need to? Like how most programmers today don't need to know the machine level instructions to build something useful.

I feel there will be a paradgym shift about what programming would be altogether. I think, programmers will more be like artists, painters who would conceptualize an idea and communicate those ideas to AI to implement (not end to end though; in bits and pieces, we'd still need engineers to fit these bits and peices together - think of a new programming language but instead of syntax, there will be natural language prompting).

I've tried to pen down this exact thoughts here: https://suyogdahal.com.np/posts/engineering-hacking-and-ai/
Please. "What is the fin pitch of the process you're releasing next quarter?" is hardly an IP-compromising secret. This stuff is and always has been routine disclosure in advance of technology revisions, analogous to "Our Next Software Version Will Support X and Y". You can excuse it if you insist, but it's pretty clear that we're being primed for 2nm to be at most an incremental improvement.
One of these agencies is not going to comply. And then what? Trump is already pushing the legal “theory” that the judiciary cannot check the executive. This is bound to end up in front of the Supreme Court, and who knows what those guys will do?

Companies overhired during the pandemic. Big companies hired people to deny their competitors employees.

Also as you flatten organizations and use cloud services you can discard lots of people. Every large company had a storage team. I worked for a big company that probably had 250 FTEs just running storage. Not anymore.

There’s also a ton of uncertainty in the US. Everyone is banking on a significant correction.
The huge disconnect is that the skill set to use LLMs for code effectively is not the same skill set of standard software engineering. There is a very heavy intersection and I would say you cannot be effective at LLM software development without being an effective software engineer, but being an effective software engineer does not by any means make somebody good at LLM development.

Very talented engineers, coworkers, that I would place above myself in skill, seemed stumped by it, while I have realized at least a 10x productively gain.

The claim that LLMs are not being applied in mature, complex code-bases is pure fantasy, example: https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.06972. Here Google is using LLMs to accelerate the migration of mature, complex production systems.

Its heavily contested if these were chariots. If anything, I would suggest that the consensus scholarly opinion is that these were ox drawn carts, not chariots.

- no horse remains or equestrian objects have been found, anywhere in India for this time period

- solid wooden wheels (shown in the reconstruction) are too heavy for horses to draw, for which spoked wheels were developed in the Steppe

- the shape of the yoke that would be tied to the animals is straight, the way ox carts have, like Harrapan ox carts. By contrast, yokes for horses are curved, to match the animal's posture.
Fortunately for me, you left this comment, so I upvoted the article and your comment. Which kind of scratches the same itch.
I’m more keen on formal methods to do this than LLMs. I take the view that we need more precise languages that require us to write less code that obviously has no errors in it. LLMs are primed to generate more code using less precise specifications; resulting in code that has no obvious errors in it.
They all pick one, results are XORred together.

As if anything Trump's done in secret becoming public would harm his reputation.

Trump is basically immune from scandal. The people that vote for him either don't care, are low-information voters that somehow don't even hear about it, don't believe the news reporting on the scandals, or even worse, actively support him because of the scandals.

Sure it is. Mexico is not the only country in the Americas that has a maritime border on this body of water.
As far as I'm concerned, I still appreciate the propaganda value of a story even if it's full of half-truths like this one, because it's time for a reckoning for these companies. There's a tiny, like 1% chance, that someday we'll have the opportunity to institute single payer and kill these businesses full of sickening, greedy ghouls overnight, and anything that helps convince people of their sins so that they won't doubt that it's worth doing, I'm okay with. They've earned it with their many, many, 100% factual bad deeds. And they've never been above lying.

I admit that taking this attitude toward falsehoods isn't 100% ethical, judged by itself, but if it helps to end a system that has killed many thousands and will continue to do until it is abolished, this is a rare case where I'm ok with the ends justifying the means.

I don't think the important risk of efficient personalized text generation is impersonation as the article claims.

Humanity has already seen harmful effects from social media algorithms that efficiently identify content a person can't turn away from even if they consciously want to. The prospect of being able to efficiently generate media that will be maximally persuasive to each individual viewer on any given issue is terrifying.
Debian weak keys are still out there on the Internet
A survey of ~20 million public keys (from TLS certificates, SSH server keys, Github and Gitlab users, and DNSKEYs).

An innovative technique compared to other commercial and open-source scanning software: downgrade TLS and SSH scanners to older protocol versions to find older keys alongside newer ones. (For example, a TLS server might offer an EC cert+key to TLS 1.2/1.3 clients, but an RSA key to clients that can only do TLS 1.0.)

Some notable findings:

- Debian weak keys (generated in 2006-2008) are still in use, including by highly active users on Github and Gitlab

- 512-bit and 1024-bit RSA keys are still in use, including their use as DNSKEYs for prominent companies and government agencies

- RSA keys generated by older versions of Putty and OpenSSH are easily distinguishable by their exponents; if a vulnerability in one of those implementations were discovered (similar to the recent https://cert.europa.eu/publications/security-advisories/2024...), it would be easy to find a very large number of vulnerable keys to target.

Good news:

- Unlike earlier research from 2012-2016, none of the RSA keys could be easily factored into large primes. (Other than Debian weak keys.)

- Certificate Transparency appears to be doing a good job of motivating reputable CAs to scrutinize the cryptographic material in the certificates they sign. No cryptographic weaknesses were identified in any of the keys in millions of recent CT-logged certificates.

Show HN: Artifact Guesser, guess the date and location of ancient art objects
Hi y'all,

Made this game as a side-project a while back, figure some of you might enjoy it.

Idea came while playing GeoGuessr (as you might have guessed). Artifacts are from the MET API, which is fantastic and well worth exploring for personal projects if you're into that sort of thing.
I'm also working on adding 3D artifacts as in here: https://artifactguesser.com/artifacts/66880eb60da993fab0ffff...
(warning, that page isn't super mobile friendly, but you'll get the idea).

Shameless plug, if you think what I built is neat, I am a fullstack dev looking work, you can contact me at sam@protocodex.com. Also open to anyone who just wants to chat tech and history.
You can call it blorbblorb if it makes you feel better. Reasoning is a social construct which, for many people, is grounded in humanity. Others ground it using other socially transmitted ontologies.

We don't usually discuss how people choose to ground their ontological beliefs, but why not? Why did you choose to ground "reasoning" in the way you do? If you didn't choose, why not?
Anyone else living in the parallel universe where we are on Linux 2.6.137 (or whatever)?

Going the other way, I think Battlefield 2042 has a lot of the maps from other Battlefield games. It'd be interesting to imagine a rolling release game, with both change but continuity. In some ways... That's Destiny 2! Just... A different form factor game.
Ok, I'll give you that argument, as I agree with a lot of it, but the authors are specifically using it as an anti-closed device/anti-corporate thing.

>The name is not inclusive

Sure it is. Mexico is not the only country in the Americas that has a maritime border on this body of water. Gulf of America is a more accurate and inclusive name. In the spirit of inclusivity we should keep it, just like we should keep "blocklist" and "main."
That's cool and all but can you use it for deep learning?
> they'd have to convince the whole industry to agree on new PSU standards.

We already have a new PSU standard, it's called ATX12VO and drops all lower voltages (5V, 3.3V), keeping only 12V. AFAIK, it's not seen wide adoption.
First time with AI, yeah, but I am not surprised since I've seen it with every other tech fad. People come up with solutions to implement, not problems to solve.
Eventually you need to admit COBOL is dead and rewrite. Eventually some library/framework is dead and you need to rewrite. However there are lots of options, and often your best is in place rewrite just small parts at a time, slowly getting rid of the legacy code over a couple decades - there is no real hurry here.

Eventually styles will change and you will have to redo the UI. This will happen much more often than the above. Your program may look very different but if you have a good architecture this is a superficial change. It may still be expensive, but none of your core logic changes. Normally you keep the old and new UI running side by side (depending on the type of program may be different builds, other times it is just a front end) until you trust the new one. (depending on details it may be an all at once switch or one screen/widget at a time)

I really wish that XMLDSig wasn't such an awful standard that it turned a good third of the security industry against canonicalization in general.

Saying there's "sure there's lots of ways to serialize, but these specific rules get you the same octet and you sign that" is key to sanity in such situations.

For all of ASN.1's many sins, they got that part absolutely right.

> Were I to spend half an hour providing a set of links, would it actually change anyone's opinion on the matter?

I'd say I disagree with "The experiment of "all the porn for all the people with no limits" has been tried, and the results have been absolutely abysmal for humans" and I'm open to changing my opinion about it, granted the papers/links are from good sources, author has some sort of credentials, the methodology makes sense, they're transparent and the results are (somewhat) reproducible.
If the goal is to build a human experience simulator that reacts in the same ways as a human would, then the you can't just collect the sensory data, you need to gather data on how humans react (or have the model learn unsupervised from recorded footage of humans exposed to these stimuli). Unless maybe it's good enough to learn associations from literature and poetry.

No matter how you build it, it is still experiencing everything a human can experience. There's just no guarantee it would react the same way to the same stimuli. It would react in its own idiosyncratic way that might both overlap and contrast with a human experience.

A more "human" experience simulator would paradoxically be more and less authentic at the same time - more authentic in showing a human-style reaction, but at the cost of erasure of model's own emergent ones.
What Is Mathematics? (2021)
Love this paragraph:

"No scripture is as old as mathematics is. All the other sciences are younger, most by thousands of years. More than history, mathematics is the record that humanity is keeping of itself. History can be revised or manipulated or erased or lost. Mathematics is permanent. A² + B² = C² was true before Pythagoras had his name attached to it, and will be true when the sun goes out and no one is left to think of it. It is true for any alien life that might think of it, and true whether they think of it or not. It cannot be changed. So long as there is a world with a horizontal and a vertical axis, a sky and a horizon, it is inviolable and as true as anything that can be thought."
Assuming LLMs eventually get really really good at this.

Do you see this destroying prediction-based markets (i.e. the stock market and Polymarket)?

Markets exist because there's uncertainty about the future. If LLMs can predict with extremely high accuracy, would there no longer be a need for markets?

Em. In 1492, most of the European population were still subsistence farming peasants. Those generally weren't the people who became explorers.

Given disease still would have wiped out the bulk of the Americas had people started to arrive in 1100 and it still would have taken a while before they got very far inland, I'm not entirely sure impressions would have been all that much different.

1) almost all clients hire a translation agency who then farms then work out to freelance translators; payment is on a per-source-word basis.

2) the agency encourages translation tools, so long as the final content is okay (proofread by the translator), because they can then pay less (based on the assumption that it should take you less time). I’ve see rates drop in half because of it.

3) the client doesn’t know who did the translation and doesn’t care - with the exception of literary pieces where the translator might be credited on the book. (Those cases typically won’t go through an agency)

I like how this case hinges on whether the call center employee said "at your convenience". It seems like its double edged to even admit such a thing.
These kinds of arrangements happen all the time with the government. For example NSF gives me a grant, I get that money over a period of maybe 5-8 years, and I make hiring and equipment purchase decisions based on the availability of that money. This provides stability and allows for long-term planning. It's been the case over many revolving administrations over the course of decades.

What we are talking about now is a fundamental shift from that, and you're acting like it's business as usual. No. You mention congressional budgets, I would be fine with that because that's how things are done. The budgets are set by representatives who advance our local agendas, and then everyone agrees on a budget that works. Generally speaking this is a stable way of advancing the country.

Now you are talking about a system where the executive can come in and just upend everything because he doesn't like it personally. There's no accounting for local needs in a population of 300 million spanning 4+ time zones. My question to you was: how do we as country plan long-term when the guy in charge can just shut down all scientific research in the country if he doesn't like the topics people are researching? Or he can cancel all contracts laid out by the last administration? Or cancel all contracts just in blue states? That's the country you're advocating for, so now keep going with this concept, what do we do if in 4 years a Democrat comes in and decides to cancel all contracts in Red states?
