No, but it's a minimal threshold. In the end, following the same rules prevents you from doing dumb mistakes and prevents a feeling of unfairness such as OP felt. And, if you can't follow your own rules because they're too annoying, maybe you should change them. So, really, there are multiple benefits. Just follow the rules.
Personally, I'd prefer to find out the truth in these cases.

Greetings from Istanbul. Unfortunately what you describe in your blog post sounds impossible to me in (at least many districts of) Istanbul. The only place to "socialize" in a neighborhood is to sit at coffee shops.
Just to clarify on what is moot, you are claiming that sharing classified, perhaps TS/SCI information, over signal, as well as deleting the messages, which are both illegal when isolated from any specific communication method, has all been blessed as above board and legal, simply because Joe Biden allowed Signal usage at the CIA?

Couldn't every whistleblower and double agent from now on just make sure to do their leaking over signal, and therefore receive the magical immunity your logic claims signal usage provides?
And heat and noise.
Hmm. Instead of requiring JS on the client, why don't you add a delay on the server side (e.g. 1 second default, adjustable by server admin) for requests that don't have a session cookie? For each session keep a counter and a timestamp. Every time you get a request from a session, look up the tracked entry, increment the counter (or initialize it if not found) and update the timestamp. If the counter is greater than a configured threshold, slow-walk the response (e.g. add a delay before forwarding the request to the shielded web server -- or transfer the response back out at reduced bytes/second, etc.)

You can periodically remove tracking data for entries older than a threshold -- e.g. once a minute or so (adjustable) remove tracked entries that haven't made a request in the past minute to keep memory usage down.

That'd effectively rate limit the worst offenders with minimal impact on most well-behaved edge-case users (like me running NoScript for security) while also wasting less energy globally on unnecessary computation through the proof-of-work scheme, wouldn't it? Is there some reason I'm not thinking of that would prevent that from working?
Sigh. It's also not what was I addressing AT ALL. The line of reasoning was:

There is a lot of truth in this article.

I work in a large FAANG company. For more than 10 years, I made the error of not publishing my personal work and ideas. I didn't like the rules about personal works, publishing opensource or social media communication... you are subject to gate-keeping by your employer if you are an employee. That's quite different from my previous experience in smaller companies in Europe. I found it very off putting: you had to give up ownership. I thought it was demeaning that even what I create in my own private time would be owned and attributed to someone else.

My choice of not publishing anything however was a very bad one. I didn't understand what power is: the continuity of the Self into the Other, where you find your-Self at ease. If you don't assert yourself, you give up not just your power but your very identity.

The truth is that power is dialectic. If you don't speak up, you have no power. Both in what you create, and in the relationship of and with power that you live, you are constantly redefining the boundaries of what you are and what you are not. If you remain silent, you loose.

stock iPhones run 100% Apple software, afaik. from drivers to the shell it's one company. the hardware is one series of models by one company.

each Android vendor has a completely random fork of AOSP with who knows what kernel patches, out-of-tree drivers, unremovable apps and customizations. you're trusting an enchilada of your mobile carrier, Google, Samsung/OnePlus/whoever, plus all their vendors.

Android can be highly secure. the NSA's Fishbowl project used vanilla AOSP + SELinux + IPSec on closely scrutinized hardware to make a phone that can be used for Secret text messages. the cheap prepaid phone you buy at T-Mobile is not that.
> (really RJ-38 but that's excessively pedantic)

RJ-38 is a 8P4C (eight pin, four conductor) modular connector with shorting bars used to allow an alarm system or similar to seize a phone line when plugged in but for the line to still operate normally with the plug removed.

You might be thinking of RJ-48 which is used in T1 service and thus often has "RJ45" cables plugged in to it, but technically that's 8P4C as well, also with (differently configured) shorting bars that will physically loop the T1 if disconnected.

Ethernet uses an 8P8C modular connector but it's not any of the Registered Jack standards
> The network aspects of Atuin also gave me the heebie-jeebies. Reasonable people can differ on such matters.

The networking stuff can be fully compiled out of Atuin. The client and sync feature flags[1] control this, and it's fairly trivial to confirm that the networking crate (reqwest) is only enabled when the sync feature is enabled.[2]

Atuin can also be configured to only talk to your own sync server rather than the Atuin run server, and the history is e2e encrypted, so :shrug:. There's enough good engineering there that I'd not put it as particularly high on my list of security risks.

While I'm sure the new Gemini model has made improvements, I feel like the user experience outside of the model itself is stagnating. I think OpenAI's interfaces, both web app and mobile app, are quite a bit more polished currently.
For example, Gemini's speech recognition struggles with longer pauses and often enough cuts me off mid-sentence. Also, OpenAIs whisper model understands more context (for instance, saying “[...] plex, emby and Jellyfin [...]” is usually understood in whisper, but less often in Gemini)
The Gemini web app lacks keyboard shortcuts for basic actions like opening a new chat or toggling the sidebar (good for privacy friendly pair programming). Last point off the top of my head would be the ability to edit messages beyond just the last one. That's possible in ChatGPT, but not in Gemini.
Googlers are spending so much money for model training, I would appreciate spending some for making it fun to use :)
Sure, but I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on that count. I’m fairly sure that’s because they felt it would be safer if the confidential info they sent wouldn’t stay around.
There are some. If you're married with kids and what you really need is stability above all else it's a decent idea.

But civil has serious issues (very low pay for how high the legal liability is).

If you search for jobs in civil you'll see hundreds of civil engineering firms are desperate for people to hire - it's similar to accounting where there's a mass exodus.

That may be a blog post in and of itself, why that industry is struggling and what that means.

What is special about the nature of the work (domestic chores)? Would you see things differently if she were working as a barista or doing a bit of coding in return for accommodation? If so, why?

When you say "It's not like she went there to work, she just did chores" you seem to imply that people come to the US because they want to work. They come for various reasons, and work is a thing that's necessary for most people, to achieve other ends.

For this woman, working during her vacation was a means to fund her travels. She didn't come to the US with work as her primary purpose, but I'm assuming the work was integral to her plan because otherwise accommodation would be expensive.

> The answer is 100%.

But that's not a valid answer? It seems like you're sidestepping the question by moving the goalposts and redefining terms.

The reality is that there will always be a gap between "what a company is willing to pay you for your work" and "what your contribution to the whole earns the company", and that's... fine? The whole is often greater than the parts, and this difference contributes to that gap. The gap also needs to provide for the commons of the company: workspaces, licenses, equipment, interest/loan repayments, etc.

This mostly just a fleshing out of the `X` and `Y` quantities mentioned by the ancestor. If you don't think the whole is worth that much more than the parts, then presumably you should seek employment at a company that offers you a larger absolute `X`, a larger relative `X / Y`, or (ideally) both. If no such company exists, you could attempt to start one of your own? That would be the ultimate vote of confidence that such a thing is even possible, right?

I suspect the reason why such companies do not exist is because that's actually much harder to accomplish than you're making it out to be.

Lazarus real problem, looks to be that they refused to embrace using it for mobile development. Which is odd. Almost as if Delphi's owner wouldn't allow it. Lazarus seems to handicap itself, for unknown reasons. They finally and kind of have an Android solution, from an independent contributor, but it doesn't blend so well with the desktop solution.
I had that problem, but the FAANG I was at was also the same company as the one running my phone's OS, so it wasn't as bad.
The problem with this is it doesn't give any consideration to the feasibility of alternatives or timelines to change things. If you just drop a blanket "every product must include it's cleanup costs", you're telling the public that their current life essentials are now unbelievably expensive.

Vs selectively picking products which have easy alternatives and providing phase out periods which match the difficulty of replacing them. If you tell the public you are going to make car tires cost millions of dollars, you'll be voted out. If you tell them that plastic confetti will be replaced with paper confetti in 12 months you'll make real progress.

This doesn't prevent innovation. Scientists will still do research, develop new recycling tech and processes.

It seems like Hacker News now has an algorithm that reads my web searches.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on this. I’ve worked in several interesting sectors and developed amazing projects, but I haven’t documented anything. And in today’s job market, having a portfolio is almost essential.

I’m not a prodigy programmer, but in the industrial sector, programming is a key skill. This post motivates me to start structuring and sharing my work because it perfectly aligns with the idea that if you complete a project but don’t share it, it’s as if it never existed.

Nowadays, showcasing your work has become essential, not just for the community, but also for recruiters looking for talent.

- neuralink -> also the AI talks to our brains (arguably the most rational path to immortality, a common goal of billionaires)

- tesla -> e cars are feasible, simpler, better for the environment

- starlink -> internet for anyone is feasible and rural areas are poorly served

- boring company -> make roads 3D and traffic is gone

I've seen people accusing each other on HN of being LLM's over the em-dash.
The common sense approach to intermediary liability is what was already in place before the CDA turned everything upside-down. If you're an intermediary, there's a trade-off to be made. Either exercise creative license in your mediation of user communications, and be legally liable for that, or don't, and stay free of liability. I think that makes a lot of sense, and would have been totally fine on the internet, and was totally fine until 1996. It allows for all the same business models that were growing and thriving until 1996. It didn't impede the economies of scale that were unfolding and continued to unfold. Then, in 1996, the internet began the process of de-linking, de-indexing, de-listing, shadow-banning, click-baiting, and pay-walling. And "communications decency" was definitely not achieved, either.

To go back to your car analogy, isn't an RPi like a 25 year old econo beater? I always took homelab to refer to a home datacenter; I always assumed (possibly incorrectly) that the origin of the name was due to the analogy of someone who sets up something like a chemistry lab in their garage.

I think of it as the computational equivalent to a home machine shop. If you don't have some heavy duty equipment can you really claim you have your own shop setup?
