So, I've been reading Google research papers for decades now and also worked there for a decade and wrote a few papers of my own.

When google publishes papers, they tend to juice the results significance (google is not the only group that does this, but they are pretty egregious). You need to be skilled in the field of the paper to be able to pare away the exceptional claims. A really good example is https://spectrum.ieee.org/chip-design-controversy while I think Google did some interesting work there and it's true they included some of the results in their chip designs, their comparison claims are definitely over-hyped and they did not react well when they got called out on it.
I'm hardly arguing for equivalence. :) It's not one choice or the other. I'm not convinced that Artemis is feasible, much less desirable, in its current form. It seems only to exist to justify specific launch vehicle capabilities/expeditures. If this were an Iain Banks book, the 1st expedition ship would be named "Sunk Cost Fallacy".
On the other hand, advertising doesn't do much to help Mozilla if it removes the main differentiator Firefox has from vastly more popular competitors. Firefox with "privacy respecting advertising" sounds an awful lot like Chrome with compatibility issues.
The communication Signal put out was extremely confusing and unclear which caused a lot of issues. They avoided answering questions about the data being collected and instead focused everything on SVR (see https://old.reddit.com/r/signal/comments/htmzrr/psa_disablin...)

The problems with the security of Signal's new data collection scheme was talked about at the time:

You'll have to decide for yourself how secure pins and enclaves are, but even if you thought they were able to provide near-perfect security I would argue that outright lying to highly vulnerable users by saying "Signal is designed to never collect or store any sensitive information." on line one of their privacy policy page is inexcusable and not something you should tolerate in an application that depends on trust.
Agree with everything that you wrote. The saddest thing is the job market. It would not be a lie to say the 90% of the jobs list Spring/Boot as a requirement. It's like a framework equals the whole language. This cannot be a good sign. I'm thankful enough to have around 2 decades of Java experience without touching anything named Spring and boy I can tell you I have been having lots of fun with Java. Using Vert.x right now and I like it a lot.
> deal with Haskell vs. a general purpose language like C++

What's the actual problem? Company decided to use Haskell (which is also a general-purpose language) then hired people who don't know it?

If so, hire a bunch of Pythonistas to work on a Rails project and you'll have similar kind of struggles (and it won't mean that Python or Ruby are somehow bad, it'll be an almost entirely non-technical issue).
This design makes sense if you didn’t previously have any limit on the number of people an account could follow. But why not have a limit?
I really like this and I think it is off to a good start. But I also think there will be interesting/hard corner cases (such as offline/reparse point files - I logged a request for that in Discord).

I don't think it needs to cover every special case but that's because I don't really want to use it to be a Explorer replacement. I see it rather as a supplemental tool.
per our guy Milton, publicly traded companies have no purpose other than generating value for their shareholders, i.e. "stock price go up"

the CEO's job is to generate that value. in-person game stores may not have much else, so he's getting that stock up however he can as long as he can.

GME is doomed, but I'll give him props for trying
Agree for DS, Julia would be very valuable.
Yes.

A good example is immigration policy. Setting immigration policy is an enumerated power of Congress. The executive branch has no say at all. Congress failed to revise immigration policy when it got out of sync with facts on the ground. That led to the current mess.

The last attempt to overhaul immigration policy was in 2006.[1] Arguably, this was more workable than what we have now. It combined tough enforcement with a path to citizenship. It had supporters from both parties.
The House and Senate did not agree on terms and no bill was passed.

So, instead of reform, we had weak enforcement, now followed by strong enforcement.
What we have isn't working.

We need something like that bill now.
Has anyone introduced a comprehensive reform bill in Congress? No, as far as I can see from reading through the immigration bills in the hopper. The current bills are either minor tweaks or PR exercises.[2]

Beat on your congressional representatives. We need an immigration law that works. It's Congress' job to argue over how it should work, and to come up with something that, when enforced, still works. We don't have that now.
Immigrants are screaming about being deported, legal residents are screaming about being caught up in raids, and farmers are screaming about losing their labor force.[3] This is the moment to do something.

Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly, a rocketry euphemism for an explosion
> I am referring to an industry consensus, not simply a random subset of industry professionals. You are free to dismiss that as irrelevant as you dismiss other evidence if you like.

You do know that "consensus" means:

> An opinion or position reached by a group as a whole.

Ergo there is no consensus reached and thus your opinion is subjective.

> Given your behavior if you had the ability to be notified by replies I think it would be worse for discourse on HN, as you would get in more discussions like the one you are going out of your way to prolong here. I simply don't want to be the one to enable that.

Ouch. More insults and personal attacks.
You do also realise you're the one who said you'd keep replying until I stop? Shouldn't your comment apply to yourself too? (those are rhetorical questions by the way)

> I was honestly thankful you asked a question I could just leave hanging so that particular discussion could finally end.

So you're just interested in trolling then. Got it.
It’s not fascinating in any way, it’s completely habitual for fascists to use every means at their disposal to prevent their opponents from doing anything only to ignore all roadblocks when in power.

The GOP has been ramping up their support of unitary executive theory since the 80s yet no democratic president has been able to take a piss without cries of tyranny.

If you ignore the word "agent" and autocomplete it in your mind to "step", things will make more sense.

Here is an example-- I highlight physical books as I read them with a red pen. Sometimes my highlights are underlines, sometimes I bracket relevant text. I also write some comments in the margins.

I want to photograph relevant pages and get the highlights and my comments into plain text. If I send an image of a highlighted/commented page to ChatGPT and ask to get everything into plain text, it doesn't work. It's just not smart enough to do it in one prompt. So, you have to do it in steps. First you ask for the comments. Then for underlined highlights. Then for bracketed highlights. Then you merge the output. Empirically, this produces much better results. (This is a really simple example; but imagine you add summarization or something, then the steps feed into each other)

As these things get complicated, you start bumping into repeated problems (like understanding what's happening between each step, tweaking prompts, etc.) Having a library with some nice tooling can help with those. It's not especially magical and nothing you couldn't do yourself. But you also could write Datadog or Splunk yourself. It's just convenient not to.

The internet decided to call these types of programs agents, which confuses engineers like you (and me) who tend to think concretely. But if you get past that word, and maybe write an example app or something, I promise these things will make sense.
Importantly, this was a bucket of water, rather than a more movie-appropriate swinging bucket of hardened-concrete to the face.

The latter--a potentially lethal booby trap--is illegal in many places, even if it's your own home. (Arguably for good reasons.)
Staff/senior is a different skill set, and you should just shoot for it instead of thinking banging out code will get you there

Lying police do more harm than good.

False confessions don’t just send innocent people to prison, they also close cases without finding the actual culprits.

Remember the police are incentivized to catch people, not catch guilty people. So the easiest way for them to game the system isn’t in society’s best interest.
It only works for WhatsApp if you have Backup to Google activated[1]. I once tried to work with backuped files from my old phone and it didn't work. (Older tutorials indicated that it once worked, though.)

[1] There was a time WhatsApp had a nag-screen if you hadn't Backup to Google activated. So I guess most people would have eventually caved.
The 3rd would be approved because it has a carve-out, soldiers can be quartered in private homes _during wartime_ as long as a law says it's ok. That exact same type of carve-out would be added to every amendment if it was proposed today.

In my mind, conda has always been a purpose-specific environment manager for people who live in data science / matplotlib / numpy / jupyter all day every day.

Ruby-the-language is now inseparable from Rails because the venn diagram of the “Ruby” community and the “rails” community is nearly a circle. It can be hard to find help with plain Ruby because 99% of people will assume you have the rails stdlib monkeypatches.

In a similar way, conda and data science seem to be conjoined, and I don’t really see anybody using conda as a general-purpose Python environment manager.
> Next time flip it: Have the subjects interact over text as the proxy for intelligence

It's possible to get good measurements of intelligence that way, but for purposes of evaluating the effect of intelligence on attraction it would be about as accurate as using "distance between the top of the person's head and sea level" as a proxy for height.

If it's propaganda then I guess it would take you no effort to prove me wrong instead of writing nonsense.

I am not sure which landlines you remember, but VoLTE voice quality is better than every phone I've ever used, from landlines in the 80s to VoIP Vonage phones. POTS systems ran at a lower quality than current phones.
If I'm reading that right, the attack assumes the attacker has (among other things) a private key (IK) stored only on the user's device, and the user's password.

Thus, engaging on this attack would seem to require hardware access to one of the victims' devices (or some other backdoor), in which case you've already lost.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't seem particularly dangerous to me? As always, security of your physical hardware (and not falling for phishing attacks) is paramount.
Donating to Mozilla is the same as burning money to keep warm. old orgs lose the people that made them and they become aimless inefficient monsters propped up by nepotism rather than competition.

Mozilla has constantly ignored the market and their users. Time for other orgs to take it up and time for Mozilla to not renew.
They don’t actually believe in unitary executive theory, as can plainly be seen any time a democrat is elected president.
This will not work with HPKP but hopefully nothing is using that any more. ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Public_Key_Pinning )

It won't work with programs that defensively validate the cert chain but those are rare.

It won't work with programs that embed their own root cert store, which is also rare but I would guess less rare than the previous one. The usual reason to do this is to minimize OS deps, and in the case of Docker containers to save on container image size by only including the roots you care about.

But yes for the vast majority of programs it should work fine.
I think the iphone does a lot more in the background than you might consider initially. Here is an experiment to try. Use your phone as you currently do, but turn on airplane mode when you aren't otherwise using the phone. Leave it on overnight too. You should only lose a few percentage overnight on airplane mode even with an old phone.
I never had a rotary phone, by the time I was born (1990) touch-tone was pretty much the standard everywhere, and my parents were/are kind of "gadget people" and as such tried to keep their tech super current (we had internet in our house before any of my friends did, for example).

I've never actually used a rotary phone that was actually in service. I think I know how to dial with it, and I've played with one briefly at a GoodWill about 17 years ago. They definitely have a very satisfying "chunkiness" to them, as most clockwork gadgets tend to. I wouldn't mind picking one up but I have to fight against my hoarding tendencies, and I don't have any kids to which I can justify making them a toy.
The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Military. Currently, European leaders are discussing sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, but the UK has claimed they will only send troops if the US promises to provide a "backstop".

So a lot of the power of the President to direct foreign policy is because they essentially control the military and many other countries rely on the US military for a lot. On the other hand, if you anger the US, the President can decide to change tactics suddenly such as Obama increasing the use of drone strikes or Trump using NATO as a bargaining chip.

The US is still looked upon as the final say in military situations because it also has the largest military in both active combat forces and equipment.There is an expectation that the US will act as world police - I remember Obama catching grief over not intervening in Syria. All of this adds up to America being "the big stick" and has somewhat changed the Presidency. This is also why Isolationism vs Interventionism is such a heated debate.
You can only donate $3500 to any politician. (legally, if you do something illegal and are not caught...). There are complex limits notice when you say something. (for a small city that limit will make them listen, but nothing national or even a large city)

What you can do is get out votes. People knocking on doors is still one of the largest drivers of votes so if you organize those systems they will listen to you.
A few things to keep in mind, given how hard of a media push this is being given (which should immediately set off alarm bells in your head that this might be bullshit)

- Topological phases of matter (similar, but not identical to the one discussed here) have been known for decades and were first observed experimentally in the 1980s.

- Creating Majorana quasiparticles has a long history of false starts and retracted claims (discovery of Majoranas in related systems was announced in 2012 and 2018 and both were since retracted).

- The quoted Nature paper is about measurements on one qubit. One. Not 100, not 1000, a single qubit.

- Unless they think they can scale this up really quickly it seems like its a very long (or perhaps non-existent) road to 10^6 qubits.

- If they could scale it up so quickly, it would have been way more convincing to wait a bit (0-2 years) and show a 100 or 1000 qubit machine that would be comparable to efforts from Google, IBM, etc (which have their own problems).
There are several problems with tolls (privacy invasive, collections infrastructure eats an unreasonable proportion of the revenue, etc.) that should cause them to never be used, but the relevant one is putting a disproportionate burden on travelers from outside the jurisdiction. Tolls that only pay for road maintenance and aren't intended to deter travel might not do this (even if they're still net-negative overall), so there is a stronger case to be made that they should be allowed, but the purpose of congestion pricing is explicitly to deter travel from people who for any reason can't use mass transit, and those people are disproportionately from outside the jurisdiction. If that was their actual reason they would be doing exactly this. Though they should still get rid of the other tolls.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression a consensus is synonymous with unanimous consent - that simply isn't so.

Look at a scientific consensus for example, there will always be a minority of scientists who disagree.

> Ouch. More insults and personal attacks.

Well, certainly not 'more' since unlike you I didn't engage in insults...that aside, though, insulting you here was honestly not my intention, but that is an honest answer to the question you asked.

> You do also realise you're the one who said you'd keep replying until I stop? Shouldn't your comment apply to yourself too? (those are rhetorical questions by the way)

Rhetorical or not, responding since this was edited in after my reply and I think is a misrepresentation. I said upfront that I would rather be done but will continue to reply to anything that I feel is a misrepresentation. You simply said you wanted to be done, yet went out of your way to continue the discussion, even if it was to do nothing more than add an insult.

> So you're just interested in trolling then. Got it.

Not at all. There is a reason I didn't reply and say that in answer to your question, and only answered here because you asked explicitly. It's what I honestly believe. Sorry.

Show HN: Collect Referrals with a Link
tl/dr: A full pipeline of referrals is the best way to hire. We made a free tool to help collect referrals on linkedin without the back and forth.

Hey HN,

At Hedgy, we're helping our talented tech friends figure out their next gigs and helping companies hire with referrals. We recently worked on a little tool to help hiring managers collect referrals with a link and review/group them.

We’ve been going deep with pilot customers, learning about referral motions and hiring strategies in the current market. I wanted to share what we’ve learned and a free tool we built.

Hiring managers are getting crushed by cold applications. A combination of market conditions and gen AI tools are causing low-quality candidates to apply to 1000 companies at once. Some managers are skipping the inbound applications altogether and only looking at referral candidates.

You’ve probably written investor emails, slacked employees, and made LinkedIn posts asking for referrals for an open role. Hedgy referral links are easy to share and capture referral info in a structured way. You can then triage and manage outreach to these referrals in our dashboard or export them for another tool.

We just launched a beta and are looking for founders and hiring managers to give it a try. Signup now to get it free forever.

Try it here: https://www.hedgy.works/r
