> Remember how she wasn't locked up? That set the precedent.

Locking her up would have set a far worse precedent, and I think that the other norm-breaking behavior of the current administration does not support the idea that prior punishment of past administration members for insecure data management would have led this administration to more secure data practices.
Access to 'gig economy' may reduce reliance on credit, unemployment insurance
> Maybe people should rediscover the joys of just FTPing files on a cheap host.

Trouble is that the reason we got away from that model because applications started to become so bloated by frameworks that it took ages to see them start up, thereby necessitating a bunch of hacks to see them respond in a reasonable amount of time, with that eventually evolving into services like Vercel that try to hide the hacks behind a "just upload it" service.

So, first, people would have to rediscover the joys of not creating monstrosities. But in an age when someone might consider Nextjs... Good luck with that.
It's mostly that the amount of water used is minuscule. If most of the water from the jet goes all the way through, you can further reduce the volume of water used at the same pressure without interruptions in the cut.

One take on electoral democracy is that it's not about the right to elect the person you want but about the right to un-elect a person you don't want. That is, there was no peaceful way to get rid of Louis XVI in France in 1793 so they had no choice but to do him in. It's as much for the good of the rulers as it is for the rules.
A person who has a degree in math ought to be able to easily understand the result and the “why” behind it the first time they see the result.

Does you think this feeling reflects the usual underestimation we're all guilty of, or do you think it's accurate?
- Be willing to exclude AI from your thought process. If you rely AI on everything, including algorithms and designs, this might impact your understanding.

Most of the time I'm using AI for problem space mapping (I'm doing dirt simple CRUD dev right now) and decomposition. It's ok at that, but even the deep research mode of Claude leaves some things to be desired.

I feel like an editor now, more than an engineer. I know the kinds of things I'm looking for, and I use AI to walk a solution in. Either I use the output of the LLM as-is (for throwaway stuff) or I use it as a jumping off point for my own work _without_ the AI.
> The US has the best SigInt capacity in the world.

How can anyone, including the top SigInt people in the US, know that? It has surely always been part of the principles of good spycraft that, if you've got fantastic SigInt (or other -Int) capabilities, then the best way to take advantage of them might be to make sure that nobody else knows about them.
It is a glaring omission with no excuse. I should have mentioned it.
That's not how reputation works.
Well, people that judge others from a distance and immediately throw in their opinion basically always come across as bullies. Likely because they are, maybe without noticing.

Ironic? I tend to disagree. While the internet and especially social media have a very bad reputation amongst "boomers" these days, it is still far easier to pick a community you actually feel welcome in then in real life. It is easy to deal with trolls, just close the window and move on... Besides, when I used computers to escape the harsh reality of younger kids, the internet wasn't even a real thing yet, FidoNet was the way to go. We had forums, sure, but communication and posting comments wasn't the primariy use case for a computer. Tinkeering, and learning how the machine actually worked, was the primary time sink. Hacking INT 21H, learning qbasic from reading the manual... All things you would have taken away from me if you had anything to say. And the result would have been an adult without special skills and a ton of job opportunities right away. I guess 10 years or going to university after school, basically loosing 10 years of income, would have been prefered by you as a parent?
I thought robots.txt covered all automated, programmatic access by third parties where a bot slurps stuff and follows links, without splitting hairs about it.

Cliche answer: "If it was easy, everyone would do it."

Best answer I've gleaned from HN and elsewhere:

1. Develop a concept you think will get traction

2. Create a splash page and announce it (to collect emails)

3. If it attracts interest, build a Minimally Viable Product (MVP)

4. Respond to feedback, figure out who needs this and what premium features you can upsell

5. Only then, monetize it and plow profits into marketing until its a steady income stream

(Rinse and repeat)

Do this for all your good ideas until one sticks.

The biggest mistake developers make (I'm one) is thinking you have to build an entire juggernaut of an app with all the bells-and-whistles for it to ever have a chance at gaining traction. Then, we wonder why our huge time-investment isn't rewarded.

Instead, think small/different and iterate/improve from an MVP to find your market based on real customer feedback.
I have a new rule: if someone sends me an "AI" message, I will probably denylist them.

Not only hasn't the person thought about it or invested in it, but now they're jamming my ability to read into exactly what that one person said, and how they said it.

Many people have made the observation/joke that meaning->LLM->LLM->meaning is silly, but I don't recall anyone pointing out that information that a skilled reader/listener can discern from direct expression is lost.
So it was easy to fix? What a relief!
>This driver is designed to emulate Windows NT synchronization primitives

To me, anything that emulates windows primitives is a bad thing. Again these changes being pushed by Microsoft make me glad the BSDs exist.

Lets hope the BSDs can continue staying independent of Large Corporations.
"Without any marketing" is also an obvious lie, since Cyanview has a storefront website and marketing posts on Linkedin.
Wow, you have the tech not only to apply the identity, but to solve for it? That is something!

A major flaw in your approach is the identity is potentially too large, you should instead project something onto a very small space, and then extrapolate in some more or less random (but pretty) manner back to the full dimensional space.
I agree with you but as a thought exercise: does it matter if there is a lot of boilerplate if ultimately the code works and is performant enough?

Fwiw, most of the time I like writing code and I don't enjoy wading through LLM-generated code to see if it got it right. So the idea of using LLMs as reviewers resonates. I don't like writing tests though so I would happily have it write all of those.

But I do wonder if eventually it won't make sense to ever write code and it will turn into a pastime.
Lol this is the most chicago looking chicago that has ever chicagoed. I clicked the link before really registering the comment, and was confused why I was looking at a random Chicago neighborhood. While I do like the way chicago neighborhoods are set up (especially the space between houses and general greenery) I think the compactness that SF has creates more opportunity for interaction.

That being said, we did have this sorta thing on my block during covid times (once ppl stopped caring abt the social distancing and mask nonsense) but then the main families that did this moved away to bigger houses (as their families grew) and now it’s basically dead as there wasn’t a lot of intention behind it like the OP clearly has.
OOP has a "there" there, it's just that the core formalism is user interfaces. If you look up "object oriented programming" on Wikipedia, the first image you get is a UML diagram of a user interface component.

OOP was invented to facilitate old-fashioned "expert systems" type AI research. While that's a nebulous concept[0], it turned out to be really useful to represent (retained-mode) UI in this way. Any mildly complicated UI needs to be a tree structure where the contents of the tree are all different things. You might want to put a button inside of a cell in a scroll list on the right pane of a window, and to do that, all of those things need to...

1. Support arbitrary child objects of different types and data sizes

2. Communicate with a standard set of events and system behaviors

3. But also support modifying those behaviors or introducing new events to fit the present application

Outside of immediate-mode GUIs for games, GUI-approximating text mode applications, and classic Mac OS[1], every UI toolkit worth its salt is OOP. Yes, even USER.dll. Microsoft[2] wrote an object system on top of a non-object-oriented programming language because it was just that useful.

If you aren't doing UI work, OOP loses it's effectiveness. But doing UI work in a non-OOP language is painful, in direct correlation to how non-OOP the language is. e.g. If you're working in Rust, you can probably get by with a bunch of traits and `dyn UiWidget` them; and there might also be something similar for Go; but in C you'd have to manually construct vtables for every object type you plan to include and pass pointers to everything around everywhere.

[0] Yes, the term "AI" has been meaningless for over half a century. Yes, there's probably a link between that meaninglessness and the nebulousness of UI and OOP.

[1] Steve Jobs had been so distracted by the fancy pointer-driven UI at Xerox that he forgot about the OOP language powering it, Smalltalk. He'd fix that immediately at NeXT.

[2] Also, GIMP, whose UI toolkit wound up becoming GTK, and whose object system became GObject.
For sure, the approach can often be used to make logical comparisons where they aren't really equivalent.

The Hillary Clinton email server situation feels very similar to this Signal thread issue to me though. Both involved government officials using unofficial forms of communication for official work, likely confidential work in both cases.

I say likely because this one seems like it would have been classified if reviewed, and for Hillary we just don't know what was on the email server and I don't know of a public report that investigated communications that involved both her server and official servers.
I now live in a suburb and it’s plenty social. We baked cookies and took them to every house up and down the block when we moved in and we greet new neighbors with treats when there’s turnover. We also exchange holiday cards and cookies every year. We either know or recognize most people within a few blocks and we have become friends with a few families that also have kids the age of ours whom we met at the neighborhood park. Suburbs can be great!
I mean, for a mere Benjamin, a disregarded LLC will solve that for you.

I'm in a state of rather abject panic about clothing.

I used to be content with a very limited wardrobe of old pants, concert tees, and thrift store scores. One of the best ways to pretend that I wasn't unmarried, homeless and mentally ill was having impeccable hygiene and knowing how to put together an outfit.

I've been purchasing at retail (new clothes aren't doused in perfume, starts with less damage, and you get that freedom of choice) but it's appalling how bad the quality is, and are they truly designed to fall apart at a touch? I go for outdoors/athletic type fashion and honestly wouldn't want to work out, play a sport, or go on a nature hike with these flimsy rags, but the sticker shock is real!

Mom always warned me to choose low-maintenance clothes but now I'm beholden to Wash & Fold services, because of several reasons. And I now understand the hysterical reviews that say they ruined garments, because it is not always accidental. And when I presented garments for repair to the same place, they contrived a way to perform the repair accurately, earning their fees, and also completely ruin the garment in the process.

So I need to consider my clothing like my electronics and computers: repair is typically impossible and replacement is the only sane option. Also, never trust a commercial outfit for maintenance of your things and keep it personal, because there's no sucker quite like the guy who doesn't know how to fix his computers or wash his clothes.
I'm not sure this is as self evident as you believe it is. Outside of school, I don't think I've read an actual book and gotten use out of it. I read for pleasure but the actual useful information in my life has been accumulated from reading many many short form (<10 page) things over a long time.
I haven't used VS Code so I can't say for sure. Some models aren't enabled by default but the plugin should enable them for you when you first select/use it.

Off the top of my mind there's:
- 3.7 Sonnet (thought/no thought)
- 3.5 sonnet
- Deepseek R1
- o3 mini
- o1 (all variants)
- 4o (mini/normal)
- Gemini Flash 2.0

There are also a few others like Qwen.

Most of them are marked as "Preview" so that might be the reason vscode doesn't show it?
Hey, thanks for that! I didn't come across that back then. Looks intriguing.
My dad was sent to some developing country on a business trip. While there he bought a tailor made suit for fairly cheap - he wore that suit every day for several decades. It was more comfortable than the jeans/t-shirt most people wear.

I don't remember which country, but I'm pretty sure we would call it a developed country today so probably not worth going there today. Still if you get an opportunity to travel you can find tailors in some countries that do great work for cheap. (and also rip offs that do terrible work for high prices)
Congrats on coming out of the shadows!

If you could increase the size of the drawing window, to be almost as large as the browser and add more basic colors for drawing, I can see it being very useful.

How Llama’s Licenses Have Evolved Over Time
This example (https://github.com/hyperlight-dev/hyperlight-wasm-sockets-ex...) demonstrates starting a sandbox and loading a component. You could imagine you'd write an app that starts and stops any number of components in their own sandboxes.

As for executing a tree of connected components, in the current state of Hyperlight-Wasm you'd probably want to take a collection of components and compose them together using something like https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wac to create a final component composed together from multiple components.

Do you recommend it? How easy is it to edit videos and add overlays and images?

I've been looking for something to record demos of opkssh. What I have now isn't cutting it.
> Ah-ha! But no one has found the missing link between ape and this so called Homo habilis
It depends on how which performance metrics you're interested in, where you draw the boundaries for individual workloads, and how you then schedule those workloads. Hyperlight can start new Wasm workloads so quickly that you might not need to keep any idling instances around ("scale to zero"). That's new, and it makes comparisons a little more complicated. For example:

- If we take VMs as our boundary and compare cold start times, Hyperlight confidently comes out on top. That's 1-2ms vs 125ms+.

- If we take warm instances and measure network latency for requests, Hyperlight will come out on top if deployed to a CDN node (physics!). But if both workloads run in the same data center performance will be a lot closer.

- Say we have a workload where we need to transmux a terabyte of video, and we care about doing that as quickly as possible. A native binary has access to native instructions that will almost certainly outperform pure-Wasm workloads.

I think about Hyperlight Wasm is as yet another tool in the toolbox. There are some things it's great at (cold-starts, portability, security) and some other things it isn't. At least, not yet. Whether it's a good fit for what you're doing will depend on what you're doing.
Maybe, but boots for sure are better and cheaper than 100 years ago. I think the only thing that makes this slightly confusing is that what were old mass-produced workwear have become limited-run fashion items, so looking at things like M1918 boots or cowboy boots and comparing to modern Red Wings or Luccheses it's tempting to say "Oh how much more expensive leather-soled brass-hardware hand-tanned full-grain leather boots are now", ignoring that Modern soldiers wear lightweight goretex running shoe-boots and farmers wear cozy neoprene pull-ons with anti-slip soles and carbon fibre toes, both of which cost half of inflation-adjusted prices of the objectively inferior boots of 1925.
For anyone who voted for Trump because of anti-woke backlash or whatever is this also acceptable? We're tearing any credibility we have left as a nation to shreds in that name of what exactly?
I think it's sort of sad that this simple act of trust in your community (having coffee and exposing yourself to others) has to be over-analysed and dissected into a blog. Broadening and Deepening events, just dividing the whole act as events it feels like i'm reading a post-mortem on adobe workfront. When the true meaning of that awesome initiative remains the human need for social interaction and the need to be part of something bigger (like a community!). I feel this is poseur-ish and project-managerial to a degree even detailed oriented people will find unauthentic.
Video feedback creates Game of Life cellular automata-like forms

uv has revolutionized the Python situation, mostly.

I recently updated YOShInOn's Python environment to be repeatable, the python packaging part was pretty simple, but getting CUDA running in WSL2 was a little tricky. Turns out my "game ready" NVIDIA drivers in Windows install a certain version of the base CUDA libs in WSL somehow. You have to install another 5 libraries with deb packaging inside the WSL which is not too hard but I realized I had a version mismatch about 1/3 of the way through but decided to barrel ahead. I installed most of the deb's manually but got fatigued and installed the last one automatically. Somehow it all works so I'm not messing with it, but I am a bit intimidated about what to do if I have problems and need to tear it down.
Also this article seems more like an ad for Cyanview than for Elixir. Smells like content marketing to me.
Glad I live in a US State that will completely ignore these clowns.

This alone will force educated CDC people into pharma corporations, leaving the CDC irrelevant.

China and many other countries use CDC research, this will hand the lead in health research to Europe or more likely China.

Want to see the future of US health, just look at China under Mao 50+ years ago.
Really enjoying this series of drops. This really is good TV.

No, Really, I'm thoroughly entertained and really invested in this story. I eagerly await the name-reveal of that CIA operative!

It's also hilarious how they seemingly understand rhe president is an absolute babbling buffoon (note how they discussed the inconsistency in his messaging), but are still catering to all his needs. it's a rare moment from behind the scenes showing how morally bankrupt that faction is.

These guys really hate Europeans but ate still forced to do theor boss' bidding like some sort of cliche mafia family.

I figured as much — I think that’s similar to how iphone contacts work based on how it prompts me to change my young cousin’s display name to his setting of “mr balls”.

Seems very likely that Goldberg (who confesses to being a Signal noob) set himself to “JG” so as to not inadvertently expose himself (or his source) in the event of over-the-shoulder surveillance. Still leaves open the question of how he is even in Waltz’s contact book. That said, if Waltz is a secret source, makes sense that Waltz would make a huge public show of how he would never ever be in contact with “bottom scum” like Goldberg

Microsoft Study Finds AI Makes Human Cognition “Atrophied and Unprepared”

“[A] key irony of automation is that by mechanising routine tasks and leaving exception-handling to the human user, you deprive the user of the routine opportunities to practice their judgement and strengthen their cognitive musculature, leaving them atrophied and unprepared when the exceptions do arise,” the researchers wrote.

I didn't read the GoF book until the early 2000s. I gave up on it after reading their recommendation to use the "state machine pattern" for network protocols- that was a popular approach in the late 70s and early 80s, but by 1990 or so everyone knew the ways in which that was a bad idea. (I worked with some of those state machine implementations in the 80s)

There's a tendency among people who think of themselves as experts in "Software Engineering" to think that domain area expertise is irrelevant. This book is an example of that view.
Civilization doesn't even have to collapse for a project like this to be useful. Like you said, there's lots of e-waste. If you happened to live in a place that ended up with a lot of this stuff but didn't have a lot of infrastructure, you could possibly build up some convenient services with something like this. I like the idea of building software to make hardware less reliant on external resources in general. Over time, it could be useful to have more resilient electronics, because we seem to be designing machines to be more reliant on specific networked infrastructure every year.
