Not only is your tool obviously unethical, but this very post is unethical. Look at your leading paragraph:

>"...we provide real-time, undetectable assistance during job interviews. Hundreds of our users have landed positions they might otherwise have missed out on."

This is so evidently astroturfed advertising masquerading as an earnest request for ethical guidance. I hope Justice finds you someday, with her sword in her hand.
Joe Brockmeier. Well there's a name I haven't heard in a very long time. Sean Reifschneider here, if you remember.
As a general rule, this already seems to be the case.

I generally have no understanding of how the libraries I am using work. Many companies out there have software running that nobody at the company can define specific behaviour for. I worked for a company that had on premise servers, and for one product wasn’t sure where the physical server for that product was.
Really not sure if you're joking or not, but Meng Wanzhou (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meng_Wanzhou) was a major turning point for China-US and China-Canada relations.

She was detained in Vancouver on the request of the US DoJ and held in house arrest for three years - after which they dropped all the charges and let her go back to China. She was absolutely used as a bargaining chip by the US government.
RedHat developers are the ones making Fedora.

Fedora is the upstream for RHEL.

* What is RHEL Image Mode?

RHEL Image mode is a new approach for operating system deployment that enables users to create, deploy and manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux as a bootc container image.

This approach simplifies operations across the enterprise, allowing developers, operations teams and solution providers to use the same container-native tools and techniques to manage everything from applications to the underlying OS.

* How is RHEL Image Mode different?

Due to the container-oriented nature, RHEL Image mode opens up to a unification and standardization of OS management and deployment, allowing the integration with existing CI/CD workflows and/or GitOps, reducing complexity.

RHEL Image mode also helps increasing security as the content, updates and patches are predictable and atomic, preventing manual modification of core services, packages and applications for a guaranteed consistency at scale.

Meng Wanzhou was roaming in beautiful Vancouver BC while awaiting judgment on the extradition request. Meanwhile China was keeping random Canadian citizens it arrested in retaliation in some dungeon.

Either way the US did not kidnap her.

Since her case never went to trial we don't know if she is guilty or not.

Anyways, this is what a rule of law looks like. It's possible the original request was politically motivated but there's still a independent judicial system at work. In China there's none of that. Sometimes the rule of law gets things wrong but that's still way ahead than the arbitrary "justice" of totalitarian countries.
All of this lament is great, but if you don’t like this, please pick up the phone and call your reps. Every day.

Please. It’s an emergency. No one is coming to save us.
That probably runs into Jevan's Paradox - we may get more efficient but we'll just increase our use to take advantage of the resources we already have.

In what you describe I can't help but see us stuck on a treadmill, endlessly chasing the next innovation to replace the current tech before we run out of resources. We won't be arguing about oil the next time around, bit maybe lithium?

I can't help but wonder what the point is. We could just use less and accept enough rather than constantly wanting the next big thing. I could have 10% of what I have today and still live a more comfortable life than almost all of human history.
Thank you, God!

It largely is fine though.

Dependency management is Lisp-like languages without a separate binary-compilation stage typically only breaks when you have external dependencies.Pip would be fine if everything was in Python; it's not because numpy/protobuf/jax/pytorch/... breaks everytime you look look at it.

CL libs are nowhere near that level of cross-dependency and all of them get built in a local cache when you first start anyway, so you can pretty much "lock" the versions by git sub-module-ing them. It's very nix-like way of working (IME things only ever break on the CL-<outside world> barrier).

Great choice, I miss .NET every day.
I found Marc to be totally insufferable in that episode too. It was blatantly obvious that everything he said was a weak, nonsensical attempt to justify his (and Elon’s) obvious goals of destroying government infrastructure to enable privatization, and removing any and all regulatory oversight so the billionaire class can further exploit America’s labor and natural resources. Both of which do nothing to help the ordinary American but do a lot to enrich the billionaires.
How about, instead, we call it national security.
The issues you mention are more or less valid, but I think you overestimate the extent to which those explain why Republicans get elected. Moreover, the problem isn't so much "Republicans get elected" as "bad stuff happens". That stuff happens in large part because Republicans get elected after talking about doing the things that you mention, and then instead passing tax breaks and "deregulation" that largely favors the wealthy. But they also get elected in large part because of the highly unequal and unrepresentative system that they perpetuate, including a media system built on feeding people falsehoods utterly disconnected reality (which is another reason ~half of voters voted for them).

It's true that to some extent both parties participate in propping up that system, but Republicans clearly do so far more. There are a lot of problems with the Democratic party as well, which is precisely why radical change is needed rather than just "pass some garden variety Democrat measures".

I agree that there are important changes to be made that Democrats are lamentably unwilling to engage with, but I'm not talking about a world where Republicans need 51%. For most of the Republicans of national prominence, we should consider ourselves as a failure as a nation if they can even get 5%.
True, but the streaming provider had a CHOICE to enforce that requirement, and the user experience has suffered as a result of their choice.
This is such an insane take I keep hearing. What 10 million wasn’t enough, 100 million wasn’t enough, 100 billion wasn’t enough? But when he hit 359 billion yep that was the number, now he is good.
The US stole it's IP as well when it was behind. Sam Slater was known as "The Founder of the American Factory System" in the US. In the UK he was known as "Slater the Traitor", because he stole some very important IP.

Adam Smith wasn't a big fan of IP either. He was all about owning the means of production. China was taking notes. The dog ate America's homework.

I have been saying this since before even the Housing Bubble which leads to 2008. And every time some insane Silicon Valley UBI or some other utopia theory come up and none of them fix or even mentioned anything about housing. And it is a problem everywhere, even in some areas of Japan. So I am now 20 years of watching the sad state of things.

No politicians wants to tackle it, no establishment wants to change. And people talk about wages stagnation, when it is property pricing becoming unreachable.

It seems we're actually in agreement here :)

You say that any option will be social engineered, and then you go on to explain an option that Apple has already implemented that you don't believe is susceptible to social engineering.

Grandma could theoretically install AltStore, and then proceed to install malicious apps from unknown sources, right now, if she really wanted to. But she won't, because it's too complicated.

I'm not asking for an easy way to sideload. I wouldn't mind if it was made even more difficult than it is now, in fact. All I want is an officially-supported option to do so that isn't prohibitively expensive. An example I provided on the website is Google's ChromeOS. They make it difficult enough to enable developer mode that it's practically invulnerable to social engineering attacks. It's much more difficult to enable sideloading on a Chromebook than it is on an iOS device.

> If you are dead set on it just mentally map in your head the price of a 1000$ device to 1100$ and be done with it

No, it's $100/yr, every year into the foreseeable future, and the cost could change at any time without prior notice. If you stop paying, your apps will stop working, so if you've grown attached to and have become dependent upon your sideloaded apps, it's quite unlikely you'll stop paying.

The Apple Developer Program is not intended as an option to enable sideloading on your device, and it never was. Apple only wants you signing up if you plan on submitting apps to the App Store, which is a benefit you're completely missing out on if you use it exclusively for sideloading.

> "if you really care about it, you can do it" is a fair state of affairs

I would 100% agree, if that were an accurate description of reality, but unfortunately it's not. If you can't afford $100/yr, then no, you cannot do it. It doesn't matter how much technical knowledge you have; you simply cannot do it.

> (I am a bit exaggerating the point but just because it seems like almost everyone is on the other side of the argument)

You and I must not be reading the same website? There is a very large anti-sideloading presence here on Hacker News. Most of it is based on strawman arguments and flawed assumptions, but it's there, and surfaces on almost every thread discussing the topic.
Yeah well, but you should add OpenAI to that "altruism" first. They're the ones burning money like crazy that could find themselves in the end of their runway quite quickly. Isn't crazy to think DeepSeek could break even and make a good profit before OpenAI goes broke, if they don't find another investor with even bigger pockets.
For anyone considering bringing up kids here, I think the best is a small rural town. New Zealanders are generally fairly accepting although maybe some bigotry (I have known different lesbian couples in rural areas and they were accepted from what I have seen).

And wayyy better for kids independence. My sisters brought up great kids on a lifestyle farm block (2 hours from Christchurch).

City schools have some bad influences. More difficult environment.
same to your last point

as another person mentioned in this thread about people already combining glp's with other drugs, i can see scenarios in which some people abuse glps with adderall or even pain killers to become literal zombies - foregoing breakfast/lunch breaks, working longer hours... imo it could establish an even greater work demand from companies (implicitly) where if you're not on it, you're not "trying" hard enough.
They are all the same, surveillance-enabling, traditional surveillance is still surveillance and both fall under surveillance capitalism.

For website owners, as soon as you run or load Google Analytics, you are participating in surveillance capitalism for Google.

.NET is a very productive stack, if you're coming from a JS background you'll find all of the batteries included that'd usually require a dozen or so NPM packages.

If you're building a Blazor app, I'd suggest sticking with its SSR project type. WASM is fine but SSR is far more productive. The hybrid mode is a recent addition, but it has too many rough edges and I'd avoid it.

Out of the two, now China seems to benefit from keeping global peace more, since USA is checking out from global trade with tariffs.
Ugh, I like enterprise apps but I can't get behind using Blazor. It reminds me too much of JSF. I hated that monstrosity.

I just think it's good practice to decouple the frontend. If you're a tiny team and you already know how to use something like Blazor, maybe it makes sense. But that's the only place I see it being valid.
There are models with open training as well as weights. It's not chatgpt, but that trained model can be fully audited and reused without further training. I think for most daily use I'd be fine using a greatly outdated model. Open source has always relied on contributors eating costs—even just the opportunity cost of contributing time.

FLOSS software is slow, much slower than VC-funded explosive growth, but it's hard to compete with in the long term.
In my limited experience, Blazor significantly simplifies front-end development, particularly in larger and more intricate projects. This is partly due to the maturity of .NET tooling and ecosystem, which makes it easy to manage projects at different scales of complexity.
In earlier versions of C# (including .NET 3.5), Access Violations did not inherit from Exception, and could not be caught using "catch (Exception ex) { }" syntax. You had to use "catch { }" syntax instead.
Nobody was suggesting solutions, but in regards to GLP-1 agonists as solving the 'problem' perfectly, no, it's just solving the symptoms. The problem is scientific advancement creating hyper palatable food and drink with no nutritional value and low satiety, combined with the food drive increases that comes with eating and drinking that food, combined with the removal of general fitness and mobility as a core requirement to being able to receive food and drink. I'm not saying there's a way to put back in the box but let's not kid ourselves that these drugs are a perfect solution either.

There are x86 extensions for fp16/bf16 ops. e.g. both Zen 4 and Zen 5 support AVX512_BF16, which has vdpbf16ps, i.e. dot product of pairs of bf16 elements from two args; that is, takes a total of 64 bf16 elts and outputs 16 fp32 elts. Zen 5 can run two such instrs per cycle.

Heck, you can even document deployment procedures and still lose them due to some wiki migration mishap or something like that, without anyone noticing. At least someone might notice that server is gone, less so with sparingly used documentation.

If you wanted to be ironic via literally meaningless comments, then that is pretty clever.
What fraction of those tax dollars do you imagine is going to waste and fraud? Cite your source.

And this isn’t an interesting thought experiment. It’s the whole ballgame. This is the focus of right wing propaganda.

And also consider whether you will change your mind if the actual fraction is <<<1%.
How do engineers manage it then? What about banks? Any regulated industry? It obviously works for some professions, why is software the exception?
Neat. That actually was beyond what I'd committed to memory about the object/class model. But this only applies within a class body, which seems to be excluded in the article's example (since it isn't indented).

Yeah, but the HDCP keys were cracked over 10 years ago, and there are plenty of Chinese-made devices that defeat it.
I think all else being equal, using data to inform the decision is better than not. But the detail there is about whether everything else is equal.

Is "gut instinct" better or worse than "data driven approach with a bunch of implicit data collection"? Is "data driven + implicit data collection" better or worse than "slightly less good data but explicit data collection"? Is that worse or better than "qualitative user interviews to drive decision making despite that only capturing a subset of users"?

Nobody wants their apps to be badly designed, insecure, slow, crash all the time, and hard to use. Nobody wants their app to be bad. So then you're choosing how you make your app good. And you choose how much you care about each axis while working on things.

Nobody wants their app to be bad.
I’m really passionate about exceptions and checked exceptions in general. Java really has done a disservice by not making it easy to uncheck checked exceptions. Much like rust I hope they offer some sort of ? operator in the future. This really is the main gripe with checked exceptions.
Well, yeah, not from some rando, but that's not some rando, they are an employee of the government department that is trying to gut the government. That aside, the work product that is the result of an alaysis of open data can absolutely be sensitive - not because of the open data, rather because an adversary may be able to infer intent or plans from the tools, access patterns, or outputs of that analysis.

> Your growth rate of 560k to 627k is 11.9%

These are hypothetical numbers. The point is that you can receive a return without any capital gain, not what the exact percentage is.

> This outpaces wage growth

So does the S&P 500. The big problem here is that real wage growth has stagnated, of which a major contributor is... high real estate costs.

> The end result of asset growth outpacing wages is complete divergence and the end game of Monopoly where 1 guy owns everything.

This is obviously untrue. Example: Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk get into a bidding war over real estate on Mars. The Martian real estate market is now worth a hundred trillion dollars, even though nobody lives there. The owners of Martian real estate now have a net worth of trillions, but it's all locked up in Martian real estate. The rest of the economy is unaffected.

Asset price inflation only affects ordinary people if the inflated assets are something they have to buy.

Which gets us back to real estate, which is such a thing. Suppose Bezos wants to buy Earth real estate in order to rent it out and turn a profit. He buys units that cost $25,000, makes not just 12% but 25% annual returns, uses all the money to buy more units.

If construction is constrained, housing costs are going up with higher demand, which is the problem in the existing market. But suppose we're not doing that; it still costs $25,000 to add a new unit of housing and anyone proposing regulations to make construction more expensive shall hang from the neck until dead in the gallows on main street.

If Bezos wants to use his profits to buy more housing and he tries to buy the existing housing, demand increases, so the price goes up to $26,000/unit, so construction companies build more units until it falls back below $25,000/unit again. Then Bezos goes to rent out his new units and finds that rents have gone down because there are now more units on the market. But a 21% return still great so he keeps at it and then goes to buy more units with the profits again, which causes more to be built, which further lowers rents/returns by increasing supply.

The ultimate result of this, then, is that r falls below g. Unless you constrain construction.
"For example, if you indiscriminately catch Exception (instead of CreditCardExpiredException, SuspiciousActivityException, CardTypeNotSupportedException and so on) in order to recover from a credit card transaction failure, you may inadvertently catch SQLException as well, but that is a different type of error"

All of the above examples of custom exceptions are great examples of things that should never be handled by exceptions. If the author was using a library that really threw exceptions like this, then it would probably be best to just find a new library which isn't arbitrarily throwing exceptions to create control flow logic.
