In my rather limited experience, private research was way more productive and enjoyable and I was able to do it and get things working without a PhD. In fact, during my short stay a iRobot I was quite surprised to find that none of the PhD's there could help me with what I was doing or provide guidance.

Later I worked with PhDs and PhD candidates in a university setting. What shocked me the most was the narrowness of their knowledge and their lack of consideration for practical matters.

I'd rather let the market judge my work than an academic committee.
Expensify's CEO ran an experiment opening up an office to the public with a free open bar and daily champagne saberings and still couldn't get people to show up more than once

I don't think amenities make or break WFH for the average person, the commute and the fact you're not home period probably rank a lot higher

Table formatting credit goes to Obsidian Text. I'm just surprised it worked so well with Google Drive copy-pasta.
Well, if it's the same git server using the same SSH key for every repo, can't you still use SSH's ControlMaster to open the connection once and leave it open?
The reason why it's worth it is because its search works really well. I've tried DuckDuckGo, Bing and always subconsciously ended up back at Google. This is the only search service I've used that works better than Google search and I think it's a combination of them not putting ads on the search and the way they let you tweak the search to block poor quality sites. How much it costs them or how much google profits vs your payment is not really relevant to me. It's the best working search engine in my opinion.
> I think we're on a trajectory towards those marketable bugs having something like a vintage.

I'm reminded of when we really systematically started treating temporary names correctly and thought security was going to be so much better.

I think there's no shortage of bugs and exploitation scenarios. We'll eliminate the easiest to exploit and most common mistakes, but there will be yet more.

> I think the most important thing bounties do is mobilize people who would never work with a grey-market broker to do good vuln research work

I think it makes it easier for those who work with grey market brokers to "go legit", too. Even if bounties can't win on price, this doesn't mean they can't win people over.

Of course, the fact that they can't win on price is a market oddity. Exploitation causes net economic harm; it's a negative-sum proposition. The only reason why software vendors can't outbid the criminals is because the software vendors don't pay the actual losses. I'm hoping this changes some over time.

> we both agree that those sums are set to increase.

I don't/didn't know that's true, but that's welcome news if true.
The SEC will probably still exist to punish enemies.

If I showed my dog the pill, and then showed my dog the peanut butter, and then showed my dog the act of me putting peanut butter on the pill before giving him this package, where does the deception lie in this sequence of events?
Theranos’s issue was that their tests simply didn’t work. It was more “move fast and pretend to test blood”.
If the method works as described (which is a cryptography issue and can be verified?), there’s no way to track you.

Your claim is a bit like saying „it’s impossible to encrypt mail, the government wouldn’t allow it“. But PGP still exists.
I think their “here’s our worse model for free, pay for better ones” is a fine monetization strategy, and is a fine compromise for getting people like me to use the service at all. I mean they are still clearly collecting and using my queries for training and feature expansion.

(Even better is their idea to allow a few uses for a better model for free that resets in some time frame to let me see what I’m missing without using those better models, unfortunately, as I mentioned earlier, that is buggy)

Hiding QOL features seems like a foot gun.

They hardly tilt the scales on cost, like a better model would, and make people who you have yet to convince to pay think even your paid service is worse than it actually is, making them less likely to want to pay in.

For instance, apparently the feature I requested is already implemented, and as an accountless user I was unaware that it was even an option had I paid or signed up.

Does YouTube consider PiP an account generating feature? For me, it pushed me away from their service.

The only reason I used invidious was so I could listen to YouTube audio with my phone screen off while I went for a run.

Provide for free the features that would make people want to use your thing, and charge them for the features that cost more to serve.
There's money/profit, but there's also society. before facebook, the web was a virtual space of pseudos, when reality (real name, places, pictures) started to leak in, suddenly things get serious. you can bully, impersonate, steal/toy-with personal information... rapidly problems occur and need for law and morality follows suit.
It's hard to take the article seriously since

1) It doesn't even reference the relevant law
2) The relevant law is so simple and clear

42 USC 289(a) states:

"The Secretary shall by regulation require that each entity which applies for a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement under this chapter for any project or program which involves the conduct of biomedical or behavioral research involving human subjects submit in or with its application for such grant, contract, or cooperative agreement assurances satisfactory to the Secretary that it has established (in accordance with regulations which the Secretary shall prescribe) a board (to be known as an “Institutional Review Board”) to review biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects conducted at or supported by such entity in order to protect the rights of the human subjects of such research."[1]

To put it succinctly this only relates to any entity which applies for a grant, contract, coop. agreement under chapter 6A of 42 USC.

This in no way relates to private research. It's easy to get hung up on regulation spaghetti code, but regulations cannot exceed the scope of the statutes, which in turn cannot exceed the authority of Congress.

Edit: add source

I think you missed the joke. The first line of the tao te ching says something to the effect of the tao that can be named is not the real tao.
As the user of a service things like payment overhead, a small userbase, and dev salaries aren't my problem. My only concern is what I'm getting for what I'm paying.

$5 a month for fewer than 10 searches a day is clearly not a good deal. $10 a month might be worth it for some, but an extra $15 a month on top of that for AI results is kind of crazy.
Ruthless but stupid.

How protobuf works: the art of data encoding
As an occasional user, what I really liked in your previous version was that Phind always gave the list of sources.

So my workflow was :

- ask a question

- quickly read the given answer

- go to the main sources to decide if they are trustworthy or not

I noticed that the new version does not always give the sources, even when I ask. Is this intentional or do you plan to revert this in the near future ?

It also solves the problem of not reducing the traffic to the content creators you use.

Anyway, congratulations for making this tool and offering a free plan to test it.

I did try waypipe, but unfortunately there was both a significant memory cost and network overhead that does not exist with ssh -x.

To be fair I am using it in a very niche and limited way, but it still sucks to see it get pushed out in an ecosystem that is supposed to be all about maintaining support for niche systems.

Not to go off on a tangent, but over the last decade or so I feel like Windows has been better about making sure things keep working than modern distros have.
I am using midi and open source instrument packages, so this is all handleable. There's a few instrument options to choose from in the top right settings.

Will probably add a "randomize instrument used per round" setting or something to really dial it in. I added a randomize velocity option but didn't test it much
Ah. I didn't mean to introduce a "necessary" constraint at all, but my wording wasn't the best.
> > IPs are apparently PII

> It always pains me when people spout stuff about GDPR that they think they know but dont.

Are you trying to suggest end user IPs are not PII? There is judgement from CJEU (Patrick Breyer v Bundesrepublik Deutschland, ECLI:EU:C:2016:779) regarding the older Data Protection Directive that IP address is personal data if the service provider can give the IP address to competent authority and that authority has a way to connect it to user. As most (all?) EU countries mandate that ISPs keep logs that match IP address to subscriber and competent authority can get this information, the IP address is almost always PII.

Or is your auditor suggesting that GDPR is less strict than the older directive regarding this case? From my reading the only real difference was that GDPR added a bit more precision on what reasonable actions are ("such as the costs of and the amount of time required for identification, taking into consideration the available technology at the time of the processing and technological developments"). At least to me the example given in the court case would be reasonable when taking those in account.

You can, of course, have legitimate interest to collect it (like many other forms of PII as well), even for cases where the data subject cannot object to it. It doesn't change the fact that it's almost certainly PII.
Overproduction is relative to the system under consideration. If you set up a system in a certain way, almost all labor can be overproduced.

To take an extreme rhetorical example: if slavery is allowed, human capitol becomes ridiculously cheap and you can say labor is overproduced.
Developer of this feature and author of the blog post here. Good questions and I can elaborate. As you mentioned, Chromium does read ClearType Tuner values and passes them on to Skia them if they're set (I implemented this behavior last year).

However, most users don't run the ClearType Tuner. This announcement is basically that we are now using values that match the default ClearType contrast and gamma. There's no extra complexity or separate defaults. This behavior shipped later because it has a much larger impact on the user base.

This wasn't happening automatically because Chromium doesn't user DirectWrite for text rasterization, so they were missing default Windows behaviors like the ClearType Tuner integration and Windows default values.
Taiwan is almost certainly only a few months from completely indigenous nuclear weapons: they have their own nuclear power reactor at Maanshan, and all the way back in the 1980's the US estimated that they were less than two years from a nuclear weapon. Given (waves hand generally at the world around him) all of this, they have almost certainly undertaken quite a bit of effort to shorten that timeline over the past forty years.

South Korea and Japan are in basically identical places, FWIW. The only reason we haven't seen a north-east Asia nuclear arms race, so far, is that several countries relied on their presence inside the US Nuclear arms umbrella. With that looking more questionable, I think the next four years are likely to see widespread nuclear weapons proliferation. Certainly the example of Iran, where the US negotiated an excellent treaty and then unilaterally pulled out of it and started violating the treaty whole-sale under Trump's last time as president, and the fate of Ukraine, who were invaded by a much larger, nuclear armed neighbor, should encourage all three of those countries to make nuclear weapons faster.

The only reason any of them might not is domestic political response, which loom biggest for Japan, but I doubt that would stop any of those countries.
i wonder if it would efficiently absorb electromagnetic waves and through coupling with a more resistive layer thermalize that energy.

> private corporate owners are dictating the law

Have you ever heard of lobbying? It's been around for a little while. At least the stuff this admin is doing is 1) visible and 2) has majority approval.

Your typical bigco buying a senator for laws is pretty well under the radar usually.
But can you still get $125k directly after undergrad? How many employers are willing to pay 2x the median wage to someone with no experience and no demonstrated skills, simply because they went to a school? To someone who is likely to make a net negative contribution until they learn how things work and require less guidance? To someone who is at a high risk of taking another job after a couple of years?

It's more common that entry-level jobs in highly paid fields start at close to the median wage. Salaries can rise rapidly once you have demonstrated your worth. But unless there is a talent shortage in your field, it doesn't make sense to pay much for an unknown quantity.
For one, they enable, yes. So there's a market to create here.

But. It also doesn't take a lot of imagination to see what other beneficial uses they promise to bear, as a general device. Imagine having a computer plugged-in permanently in your brain. Both in reading (and reacting by providing a stimulus, whatever it is, however you may do so directly or indirectly), and perhaps even, some day, in writing.

When you see what you can achieve with an individual, customised touch-screen computer in the pocket, something that didn't even exist a quarter of a century ago. The potential. The horizon. How would you not invest in that vision if you had the money for it?

What a striking coincidence that the man behind this project has now access to the resources of a huge country, which administration happens to deport "illegal" immigrants here and there, without due judiciary process (that is, publicly documented), in territories outside of judiciary overview (like Guantanamo).

The same guy who felt brazen enough to make twice a nazi salute in front of televisions.

Far fetched scenario? Yes, obviously. Improbable? Also yes. Impossible? No.
You're right obviously, I shouldn't have used Torx as an example here. The only difference that someone else mentioned somewhere was that it's more difficult to use the wrong size one.
Open source is about liberating computing not about liberating users.

If you're supporting end users you need to be collecting money from them.

The mechanics of this system are entirely upside down. The corporations have bought into open source to regain control of computing and passionate developers are mired in the swamp of dumb user requests.

Something went very wrong here.
> I think our biggest point of disagreement is just on the notion that you can sell bugs like the one on this thread to brokers.

I don't think you're getting a ton of money for them.

But, it's my understanding that there are state actors who want to unmask people who are saying things they consider not-nice on social platforms and who have made it known that they will pay for things like this.

Mostly they were created on the absolutely wrong assumption that they wouldn't annoy as fuck the users. Unless I badly need to get in, I tend to browse away when prompted for a captcha. The ones I hate the most are those where you are supposed to click on the part of the picture that contain a motorcycle, and like are you supposed to click if the motorcycle overlaps by 2 pixels, are you supposed to click on the passenger, and if it's a traffic light, is the pole part of the traffic light, etc?

This is as user hostile as it gets (and of course always combined with a gdpr pop up followed by a subscribe to email pop up which overlaps with the please login pop up).
The Apache Security Team report says it now has "three issues in OpenOffice over 365 days old and a number of other open issues not fully triaged". So it's not just unmaintained, but actively putting users at risk. It's not clear why the ASF won't put it in the Attic.
Sellers are not conceding on price yet.
Good question -- the MCP naming is a little misleading... while Anthropic designed MCP to work in Claude, it's actually an open standard and also is implemented in Sourcegraph Cody, Cursor, Cline, Goose by Blocks, and many other client contexts.

mcp.run Tasks are an MCP client as well, in that they can call tools just like Claude would if provided MCP servers.

I imagine people will have the same nostalgia for doom scrolling one day ;)
I wouldn’t assume that is the case. The failure modes are different that is all.

I saw a whole corp POS platform a couple of decades ago that was hanging off a TFTP server on a machine that no one dared turn off in case the world ended. One day the DC UPS failed, it didn’t come back up and they had no retail operations for several hours while they sent a bunch of cash to a guy who had left to help them fix it.

There’s stuff like that everywhere lurking in the archaic.

I know of a modem in a DC which is used to talk to a branch office running AS400 hardware that is so old they have to buy spares off eBay.
So is your complaint mainly as a scripting API user ?

A slice of my MySpace experience:

Before MySpace web designers and developers could have work all year just working with bands. Band web work basically dried up below a certain band success level over a year or two.

But since MySpace allowed custom CSS and had limited built in design options it created a new market for custom pages. The rates were mostly lower but there were probably 100X the number of bands that needed work.
> And isn't it interesting that your worker empowerment talk is aligned with what the billionaire CEO publicly says?

And that means the GP is wrong when he says, "you have the power folks... not the employers." The employers have the power."

He'd be right if there was a lot more worker solidarity and unionization, but that's not the world we live in. Right now worker power is too diffuse and unorganized to make a difference. Individualism divides and conquers workers.

All money the government pays out goes towards someone's lifestyle; objects don't use cash. I'm not sure what your complaint is there. The government paying someone to sit there and do nothing in retirement is at least as governmenty as paying someone to fill in holes in a road, for example.

> Who wants a "small government" that provides no services to taxpayers?

The people who are saying "I want a small government". That is what a small government is. A small government is one that doesn't do very much and that test is how you can tell the US government isn't one.
> were on average much nicer than those who got their stuff for free!

this is always true with, at least a great many, people. it's related to choosey-beggar syndrome. it's a bug/glitch/feature in human psychology.

if you ever have the chance to be a property manager, never ever let someone move in a week early or pay a week later for free. never let your rent get drastically below market. when people aren't paying for something, it's incredibly common behavior to stop respecting it. it's like a switch flips and suddenly they are doing you the favor.

that's why in times past, offering or taking "charity" was considered impolite. but making a small excuse might be ok. say someone needs to stay an extra week after their lease was over, but was strapped for cash. instead of saying "sure you can stay one more week", say "well, you'd really be doing me a small favor staying in the place to watch for the extra week since it's empty anyway. how about i discount the rent by 50% for that week and amend the lease to take care of it."
If he already knew how to code in other object oriented languages, and was really just learning C++ syntax over the weekend, it’s not as much of a stretch.
Interesting, do you mind sharing some of the queries you tried? We avoid doing automatic searches for certain followups if the existing sources already contain the correct information, but we should be giving improved sources compared to the original version of Phind.
I think WFH is another point of leverage for employees. If something doesn't work out with the job it's easier to deal with it on your own terms, whether that's taking more breaks or silent quitting. This leverage is exactly what employers are afraid of and want to rollback completely.

Companies treat employees like just another resource, so I personally think it's fair when employees try to game the system back. If you can work less and get away with it, I think that's fair because companies do the exact same in the opposite direction.

If it were up to companies they would select for indentured servitude, if not slavery, because that maximizes profits, and that's the bottom line. Companies even admit as much, and they're going to fight to remove as much leverage from employees as possible.
