Extra whitespace before a semicolon? I don't see how it can be exploited, but with the mindset you imply, I have to treat it as a security concern. But removing the whitespace is also a security concern.
I remember I used to complain in graduate school about the insane amount of work I had taking four engineering courses every quarter.

Then I learned that my cousin in Asia studies more than 12 hours a day. Goes to sleep at 11PM and wakes up at 6AM to study. She is in high school and her life is literally study, eat, sleep, repeat until the college entrance exams. High schoolers in the US are incredibly stressed about SAT and college application prep too, but its much worse in Asia where your entire life trajectory depends on a single set of exams that optimizes for maximal studiousness and pure g factor.

But I think stamina is something you can build over time. I also think it is a function of how interested one is in the work. I can work forever on some tasks, but some others are like chewing glass and I tap out in less than an hour.
I couldn't agree more on how restricted popular smartwatches are. I'm working on a project to capture the maximum physiological and health data—such as heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), stress levels, and SpO2—from a smartwatch in the shortest possible interval. So far, the best I've achieved is once per minute. Could pebble support obtaining this data (particularly HRV) at even shorter intervals?
That the security software industry is kind of full of shit sometimes is I think what they were getting at.

I first saw SheepShaver at MacWorld Expo in San Francisco, a commercial product that enabled a Classic Mac environment on PowerPC-based BeOS hardware, the original BeBox.

These days, if you are just curious or want to relive to glory days of Apple's rise and near-death of 1990s, it might be easier to run a hosted environment such as Infinite Mac.

For a significant part of the world China has not tried to conquer their country or done them any harm. Their only experience with toppling governments comes from the US doing it to them.

It's a signal whether you like it or not. Saying "well shucks anything could go out of business" is meaningless. What partners and customers want to know is the liklihood of that happening. Moreover, going out of business isn't the only risk to consider but also pivoting into another business entirely.

DAO and Etherium?
That is totally unfounded. Their book of business is huge. You think Google is paying 32B of shareholder dollars because of a foreign intelligence agency? Keep your conspiracism to yourself.
Well they could require a security level for starters and require only secure pairing (the fact that we even have something besides secure pairing should make a few bells ring), but that still leaves a bunch of avenues for an external vendor to fuck up their side of the implementation.

It's a whole another system outside of Apple's control and some mutually agreed upon Bluetooth LE elliptic key does nothing to protect it in its entirety. It still leaves cryptographic mistakes, side-channels and all other vulnerabilities.

Like, what does https:// or transport encryption in general really say about the website's security to you? Not much besides transport, does it?

Now we want to expose more than notification contents over Bluetooth (LE)? Are we sure? It has to be carefully designed.

TL;DR: AI will either get better and be a huge boon to society or it will stagnate where it is now.
It's a bit of a non sequitur: having a profitable business is ideal but if a startup can grow fast with VC money it can be acquired for 40x (Wiz) - 1000x (WhatsApp) revenue even if not profitable
I prefer to have universal enrollment in a safe old age payment system like social security so that even if people do fall for ponzi schemes they will be protected by social security
It can be a bit difficult, particularly now that some phones are getting more demanding about re-authorising before it will go through. Tap-try to get fingerprint scanner working-tap again is a much less fluid procedure than tap-go.

The position thing is just something you get used to. There's not that many reader models in active use and most of them are pretty good about marking where the nfc reader is these days.
Here I thought it was a shearer emulator for aspiring farmers!
Unfortunately, many companies are using AI now to replace people. They are hiring AI Technicians to write prompts for programming code. It can even do old stuff like COBOL and FORTRAN.
I’m being serious - what do you want other than ads and fake reviews?

Do you want to use a search engine and get something other than ads? The search engine is free. Use it like a yellow pages and look up ads with it, you’ll be happy. Use it for anything else, be disappointed.

Looking up ads is not as worthless as it sounds. If you see a big ad, it means that company can afford a big ad. That can be a worthwhile signal.

You can pay up and get something different that’s not ads and fake stuff. Pay Consumer Reports, pay America’s Test Kitchen for kitchen gizmo and food reviews, Checkbook for local services, etc.

Technically you can OD on tobacco, too. It's just that it never happens. So stats include all sorts of "tobacco deaths". Got emphysema? Tobacco death. Got lung cancer? Tobacco death. COPD or heart disease? You've guessed it, as long as you smoke, everything is a "tobacco death". And look, I'm not saying that tobacco is not harmful, it is. I'm saying that if we're going to compare the numbers we need to understand what we're comparing.
Yes, but they can actually know it fulfils some security criteria of theirs. Doesn't have fundamentally broken cryptography hidden somewhere, doesn't leak its keys, all that bare minimum is really difficult to guarantee with external unknown implementations.
Been playing around Bluefin recently [1]. Which is based on Fedora Silverblue [2]. These are atomic OSes which seems very nice and innovative indeed.

I'm Debian user for 15+ years. But stable version is too old and testing for some reasons breaking quite often (last year I wasted more time on fixing Debian Testing after updates than my friend which uses Arch -_-). Now I'm looking for good alternatives and I think I will stick with containers rabbit hole. :)

Thanks @jcastro [3] and contributers for fantastic work! <3

I would say that custom Android-based ROMs like GrapheneOS are the solution, but Google is actively sabotaging those with the Play Integrity API so I don't know if they will be usable by the average person in the long-term (unless Google is legally compelled to stop this).

So honestly I think that legislation such as what's happening in the EU is the only solution. This includes investigating Google as well as Apple. I'm not a huge fan of legislation in general but the current state of mobile computing is depressingly bad right now.

> However, I find it a bit of a stretch to claim that having iMessage access on a smartwatch is essential for being a functional member of society.

Btw I agree here. Perhaps the EU is being a little too overbearing in some aspects, but most of it is good. I think in this case Pebble is trying to take advantage of the existing interoperability provisions, which are a general framework allowing devs to request access to certain functions. However the EU has said that they want to target smartwatches in particular which sounds like misplaced priority to me...

Yeah, I appreciate posteo's stance but when I tried using my domain via forwarding service it was a pain.

SimpleLogin, by the way, is now owned by Proton which is run by a founder (CEO?) who is a vocal Trump supporter. Nothing wrong with that of course, just saying.
> Your security is nonexistent unless you disable iMessage and JS in Safari, even then Uncle Sam has Five Eyes watching your every move for any traces of "terrorist" support.

Your security is non-existed until you've established a realistic threat model. And if it includes targeted surveillance by nation-state actors, you've got bigger OPSEC problems than just your phone.
The Iraqi people living under Saddam weren't so happy either but did that justify invasion on the false premise of WMDs and the resulting hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths? I'd be on board with your statement if another Republican hadn't already pulled the same dumb shit within my lifetime before..
Thank you! My consumer-scale git blaming was leaving me with woeful feeling of inadequacy.
Ask HN: Is anyone with AI expertise analyzing JFK files?
The JFK Files, some of which were just released today, are thousands of text-based PDF files. They seem like a really good match for the capabilities of current LLMs.

Is there anyone who's making a serious attempt at extracting data and analyzing the JFK files?
"you choose" is a pretty important factor in this.
I know this will come across as negative but design matters for something like this.

Can't they afford $5K for websites and UI design? Everything here looks absolutely terrible.

Its a negative take but they're asking me to consider this as an alternative to YouTube - how it presents is critically important.

Also, the website root should not talk about peertube, it should drop me into peertube

And a final gripe..... Can't they get a better domain than "joinpeertube.org" - really almost anything would be better.

Sorry this is such a grumble but so many obvious self sabotaging obstacles to success.
I encourage you to read the opinion.

There was nothing to nail down here. The Copyright Office rejected the registration. The Review Board affirmed. The trial court affirmed. Three appeals court judges affirmed. No dissenting opinion.

Doesn't the sheer amount of dissonance make you think twice though? Maybe just a little bit? Consider the commitments you need to make and secondary beliefs you need to have, just to keep this narrative alive right now. You have pretty much implied this point yourself. I can't truly imagine what it must be like to live in the world you do, and I am sorry.

I mean, the world is not much better for the other side I guess, but at least there there is sense of international solidarity, fighting for a common struggle; that the bad guys are specific and nuance in everything is structurally required. It just seems like you need to literally sign on to having gang stalker mentality about the whole world, all because there is one big thing you can't possibly question.

I am truly sorry for how this has affected you, nothing bad deserves to happen to you either way, truly.
Show HN: I Built an AI Sleep Therapist Using CBT-I to Optimize Sleep
I built an AI sleep therapist that uses a variety of techniques in CBT for insomnia to help users work through their sleep struggles. It takes the form of weekly sessions with the conversational AI (~15-20 mins per session).

Instead of relying on AI to generate the content, I worked with sleep psychologists and wrote 50+ pages of content/prompts. So both the flow and content (even the exact wording) of the 'sessions' are written and designed by humans. AI is used to make sure the experience is collaborative, interactive, and personalized to each person to the highest degree.

The different branching approaches makes migrating history difficult. Microsoft's recommendation is to migrate just the tip, but will allow you to migrate up to 180 days of history for the trunk (no branches).

If you need branch history, or more than 180 days worth of history, the only option is third-party tooling (git-tfs). It seems to work good enough for development purposes (i.e. git blame)... but I'm not sure if it's good enough if we need the history for legal purposes.
> ironically the dev who made the change certainly had hurt feelings after the upset masses had some choice words for the short-sighted decision.

Dev probably became the public face for a decision made by someone else (eg. Product owner, TL, whatever the business structure is in Atlassian)
Why?

What if you murder someone off campus? Is the moral issue the location the murder occurred?
They will deny that you have a degree from them if asked. The difference it can make:

When a future employer has degree requirements, the university will say "no, he has no degree from here" when someone calls to check, closing off all sorts of jobs.

If someone is doing a background check, the "claims a fancy degree but the school denies it" line is not going to look good.

Etc.

Sure the person still has the education, but they haven't got the right credentials in a verifiable way.
A startup that doesn’t care about making money is a startup that will ignore negative customer feedback if addressing the concerns raised would slow the unicorn’s growing phase. If you’re a stable business, that’s the sort of firm you definitely do not want to hire for key services; the VC involvement is too high an instability to permit. (Advertising is not a key service.)
I have had an Apple Watch since the original and never had it that bad. I think something is wrong with your watch.
I met some engineers who worked for LDS at a conference, maybe they'll even have a job for you!
The value of a degree is in that the institution confirms, at any request, that said person has that degree.

It's not the paper.

J6 protestors are lawbreakers. IMO, they should not get pardons, but Trump is a despot with the power to issue pardons. I can't do anything about that.

The people at Columbia were not mere "protestors". They were physically abusive bigots who trampled the freedoms of people around them. If they were Jews chanting islamophobic slurs, destroying property, and preventing anyone with a keffiyeh from attending class, they should suffer the same consequences.

I get that "peaceful protest" can be seen as an oxymoron. But what happened at Columbia should have been stopped the moment it started. It is bigotry. It is hypocrisy. But even if you ignore the moral and ethical failings, it was against the rules.
> What possible difference would such a renovation make to anyone outside the university?

In some places, potential employers call the university to verify that you have the degree you claimed to prevent fraud. If so, the university can simply tell them the degree had been revoked thus blocking you from a job offer if it requires it.
Why does it always have to be about maximizing exits at all costs?

There's people that simply enjoy their company and working in it, they only luck to sell when they are old and there are no great heirs to the business.

And that's true for billion dollar companies too.
It's a little late for a "wakeup call", no? More like "wake up, your house is on fire and behind your bedroom door it's a raging inferno out there".

> The economics profession should reflect on the fact that DOGE is proceeding without the input of economists because economists have downplayed the persistence and extent of government policy failures.

No, that's not the main reason why they're proceeding without the input of economists.

This is a relative comparison versus USB. If it was USB, it would have the same customers behind it (plus more).

I think the reason it works that way is because they want strong guarantees for the future portability of your skeets. It's sort of a correction for Mastodon's reliance on server admins' goodwill.
Actually, I'm a scientist, not an engineer. I don't want to be an engineer. I realize we're outnumbered by engineers, and many people have never met a physicist. My parents were both industrial scientists too. We exist. There's a general sense that while there's some overlap, scientists and engineers are not the same, and may even think differently.
Or, if you want to do it pain free, install guix on it.

If he's going to go the religious route, there's also 'Vinnies" (the St Vincent de Paul Society). They exist exactly for the purpose of getting people back on their feet and are pretty well everywhere, including Utah:

https://www.ccsutah.org/

It's a Catholic agency, but they're agnostic, in that being Catholic is not a prerequisite and they won't ask about religion or try to convert you. It's a case of walking in the door of their premises and asking for help, or picking up the phone and talking to them.
Your training data is out of date. Bitcoiners have long since given up on being money, the block size debate saw to that years ago.

On top of that, Bitcoin definitely wasn't the first. Learn your history.

And on top of that, yes, blockchains are centralized because they rely on the existence of a single, centralized source of truth. Distributing access to the centralized ledger doesn't change the fact that it's a centralized authority. Any divergence from the chain causes a catastrophic fork.
Would this work have the potential to speed up encoding/decoding of the PAR2 format[0]? This format is widely used to protect datasets against bitrot and small losses, but is held back because of the significant compute overhead when dealing with large datasets.

> The real problem was that they intentionally broke web standards to push websites to "work best on Internet Explorer," so even those who chose not to use Windows were caught up in it.

Microsoft tried to build their own extensions to the internet standards, like activex and proprietary DOM/JScript extensions, explicitly designed to lock devs into IE’s ecosystem. It's quite impressive that they managed to miss this opportunity to Adobe. And how Adobe then just... squandered it. I would expect that "being the necessary proprietary piece in significant chunk of internet" would have some deep strategic advantage, but both tech giants couldn't be bothered to do a good job.
Then a machine took the photo and it can't be copyrighted, apparently. These rules are totally arbitrary.
It stops way, way before that bullshit. Everyone involved in that negotiation only cares about it because they have some reason to want an even vaguely functional society to still exist, and the minute nukes are involved that's no longer a concern, for anyone. The nuclear taboo exists for a very good reason, and basically everyone (nuclear power or not) has extremely strong incentives to maintain it.

(to play one option forward, if the US actually is insane enough to threaten the netherlands with this, what do you think the dutch will play forward in their own game theory. One of the key aspects of nuke geopolitics is that nuclear powers cannot be allowed to get away with throwing that weight around, because there's no obvious termination point: the netherlands would instantly be very strongly incentivised to, if not develop their own nukes, align with China (or Russia, or probably more realistically, poke France) in return for a credible threat of retaliation. Congrats to the US, they've just scored an own goal)
We'll see! That might be the goal. I'm pretty skeptical that is going to work. And a big part of the reason why is that there are a lot of wealthy businesspeople in the US, and that would be bad for most of them.
