The killer application are the group chats. Normies can't make an email group, or remember to reply to all, or even make a Yahoo! Group [dead] or Google Group [dead?].

It's very easy to setup a group in WhatsApp and keep the member list updated.

For bonus points, it's very difficult to Ctr-C the info in WhatsApp, it's easier to press the arrow and forward the message to another WhatsApp group.

Once you have all your groups in WhatsApp, it's easier to use it for everything.

PS: Also, a few eons ago in many countries SMS had a cost, and WhatsApp was free, it was so another good point to use it.
What is “standard Moore’s law”?

People say that Moore’s law has been dead for 20 years because that’s when the industry hit the power wall and had to pivot from simply reducing transistor size to parallelism and these other engineering strategies for keeping the performance growth curve going. I don’t think that’s coming back without solving some really difficult materials and semiconductor physics problems

I think the term "Use case" has done a fair bit of the shooting itself.

So many times I have seen people hold things up with "What's the use case" always transforming the problem at hand into convincing a person who doesn't comprehend that other people's experiences are also valid.
Well, there's always LD_PRELOAD and LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux. My experience has been that most of the time when older binaries fail to run, it's because they are linked against old versions of libraries, and when I obtain those library versions -- exactly the same as obtaining the DLLs for the Windows executable -- things usually work just fine.

Currently rewiring some my home's electricity so I can monitor my PV power production locally (without the shitty built in Chinese cloud garbage with hardcoded wifi passwords).

Using the Shelly Pro EM for energy monitoring (it has 2 CT clamps, one is going on the PV output, the other on the grid input).

The data will be collected in Home Assistant on a HA Green device. Additionally, we have "smart" electricity meters here, these have a port which can be used to fine grained power & gas monitoring, should be possible to integrate that into Home Assistant as well.

It's not anything particularly challenging, it's mostly refactoring my electrical distribution board to make room for the Shelly device, routing ethernet cables, and installing some power sockets and a network switch to tie everything together.
Amen. How this lie continues to be perpetuated as gospel is beyond me.

I can look at any company’s RDBMS who doesn’t have a full-time DB[A,RE] on staff and find ten things wrong very quickly. Duplicate indices, useless indices, suboptimal column types, bad or completely absent tuning, poor query performance…

The meat of her conviction seems to be: The three-time presidential candidate was accused of having hired four fictitious assistants when she was an MEP (2004-2017).

I don't see what updates you expect on CISA guidance because the very documents you reference already acknowledge that rewriting all code is not a viable strategy in the general case and that other options for improvement exist

For example, they recommend evaluating hardware backed solutions such as CHERI

> There are, however, a few areas that every software company should investigate. First, there are some promising memory safety mitigations in hardware. The Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI
) research project uses modified processors to give memory unsafe languages like C and C++ protection against many widely exploited vulnerabilities. Another hardware assisted technology comes in the form of memory tagging extensions (MTE) that are available in some systems. While some of these hardware-based mitigations are still making the journey from research to shipping products, many observers believe they will become important parts of an overall strategy to eliminate memory safety vulnerabilities.

And acknowledge that strategies will need to be adjusted for every case

> Different products will require different investment strategies to mitigate memory unsafe code. The balance between C/C++ mitigations, hardware mitigations, and memory safe programming languages may even differ between products from the same company. No one approach will solve all problems for all products.

However, and that's where the meat of the papers is: They require you to acknowledge that there is a problem and do something about it

> The one thing software manufacturers cannot do, however, is ignore the problem. The software industry must not kick the can down the road another decade through inaction.

and the least you can do is make it a priority and make a plan

> CISA urges software manufacturers to make it a top-level company goal to reduce and eventually eliminate memory safety vulnerabilities from their product lines. To demonstrate such a commitment, companies can publish a “memory safety roadmap” that includes information about how they are modifying their software development lifecycle (SDLC) to accomplish this goal.

It's clearly not the case that these papers say "Rewrite all in Rust, now!". They do strongly advocate in favor of using memory safe languages for future development and I believe that's the rational stance to take, but they appear well groundet in their stance on existing software.
This study does not conclusively prove most galaxies rotate clockwise...Just has a somewhat strong observation of asymmetry. Other studies that the paper mentions, and criticizes, did not observe it.

Study is at around 3σ (like 62 heads in 100 flips). It is more likely that future studies disprove it, and this is an issue with the methods, if I am of the betting type... :-)
except, relevant people didn't know where she was. It took the Turkish consulate getting involved to even make progress on the matter, and the people who took her said they didn't know where she was when asked by a representative of the Turkish consulate. You don't think that's disappearing someone? It doesn't matter that she was later 'found' after media attention got too hot. It is clear as day what was attempted.
What I am expressing here is that practical things that all of us can agree are good and useful, such as helping impoverished kids, result in tangle positive consequences, an educated society has less crime, therefore net positive. This is a practical and real world positive consequence.

>And somehow, those practical effects always turn out to be "less white people".

In contrast to your silly and inconsequential examples of just "criticism", I presented examples where DEI has tangible and measurable results which are net positive. What you express, really, just shows confirmation bias, and you remain oblivious to all the positive things that have come out of "DEI" programmes that you have benefited from.

Case in point, women die significantly more in car crashes [1] because law mandates male-sized dummies. Some diversity here in terms of gender would have pointed that out, but until the moment this was written, nothing was done.

DEI programmes exist to avoid discrimination such as that one.

> According to Verity Now, a US-based campaign group striving to achieve equity in vehicle safety, women are 73% more likely to be injured – and 17% more likely to die – in a vehicle crash. Earlier this year, a study of 70,000 patients who had been trapped in vehicles found that women were more frequently trapped than men.

> Part of the problem is that test dummies modeled on the average female body are rarely used in safety tests by car manufacturers – because only “male” dummies are mandated for tests by regulators.

So I don't believe you will ever change or your mind or opinion, and you are discussing in bad faith, rendering this conversation utterly useless. Here's my recommendation, if you are going to try to get me to see your side, instead of emitting strawman arguments, try a steelman one, and avoid sensationalism.

Wow, I used to use Papier all the time. I sort of forgot about it when I migrated from Chrome to Firefox and didn't really find a good alternative, but man that plugin was legitimately a huge part of my life for a while. I'm sad to heard it's going away, it was an absolutely genius idea
The Librewolf browser (and I suppose most Mozilla based browsers could as well) does something like this - https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Fingerprinting.
That would be a fine posture to take, very naturally-selective, but I find it discomforting because I've seen so many different ways that humans act that don't benefit them (individually or on the whole). It isn't always out of self-destruction or lack of self-preservation. More often than not, the choice was based on what's easiest -- a tendency towards the path of least resistance. This technology looks a lot like trading off intention, and attention, for quick and good-enough(?) results. Enough so that I can understand GP's concern for our communication skills as a society.

I think we could find ourselves losing the "thought and effort" in spite of it being more valuable, because many people find it easier. Or that even those who continue on with it, despite it not being easier, are broadly labeled as a bot because their writings failed the vibe check.

I have confidence that there will always be small communities that continue holding this as valuable, but that maintaining it in a community setting will become more strained as the general zeitgeist drifts in the direction of regarding output higher than effort.
This is just the right dose of motivation required for me now! Deciding to take a break and hopefully end up like this!

Thanks for this! :)

I think the demoscene is what it is: a treasure, a heritage.

I was/still a part of it, but essentially, every demo evolved into a video during the 90th.

A shift came with the more powerful machines, especially on PC.

C64, Amiga 500 - technical prowess was necessary for certain optical illusions; the video illusion stems from hacks. This reversed.

I think that this is ok. Device hacking is now the new old low-code hacking.

Today's demoscene is also totally meta. From fighting emulators to accepting to utilizing was quite a ride.

The massively impressive demos of today on C64 or Amiga are a testament to the heritage they capitalize on. Here and there, a minor tweak or final secret was finally totally understood; differences between serial numbers of C64 were a thing, too - and that's it.

I am impressed by what has been done and achieved in the early days by machine code on C64 during the 80th.

Massive influence was also time. The Scandinavians find a cool thing to do during the winter months and hack for days and nights - hardly anyone would do this today.

There was no harddisk, code revisioning. Compiling took time, and saving the stuff on disk was a tedious procedure during debugging. Printed Assembler code etc.

Today, you can dump the most elaborate code and data on emulators within seconds, all well compiled and checked - it is a wonder. IDEs, etc., are standard.

Even back then, some elite coders used cross-development platforms, such as Amiga and C64, to deal with the burden of memory and slow compile times on C64.

But the thing is that you had to develop the tools yourself. An advantage of this scale was earned.

Anyway, it was a fantastic time. Copy parties, puberty, trash talk - and, to be honest, a lot of doxxing and mobbing in retrospect.

I am glad I was part of the scene from 1987 to 1994 and attended Venlo and other infamous Copy parties.

> I really don't think that considering the C/C++ build story as complex and frustrating would be misrepresentative.

Who was talking about C++? This thread was about C, right?

(It's possible that I didn't read very closely upthread, but I'm almost certain that we were all talking about C).

I actually agree that C++ can be a pain in the rear, especially for multiplatform, and you have to pick all your options, etc.

But C? Not so much. Even on multi-platform.

As GP (or GGP, or GGGP, I forget how far upthread it is) said, with C all you need is a compiler, an editor and Make. That's pretty much still true, even if you're using third party libraries.

Show HN: EncypherAI, Open-source tool for cryptographically verifying AI text
Hi HN, I'm one of the makers of EncypherAI. We built this tool because current AI detection systems often fall short when it comes to reliably identifying AI-generated content. Instead of relying on guesswork, EncypherAI embeds cryptographically verifiable metadata directly into AI-generated text. If the metadata is present, you can confirm with 100% certainty which model produced the text, when it was generated, and see any custom JSON data provided by the developer without any risk of false positives or negatives.

Note: The absence of metadata doesn't automatically indicate human-generated content, as a malicious actor might strip out our markers. That's why our focus is on creating a standard that, when adopted, guarantees verifiable proof whenever it's used.

EncypherAI is open-source under the AGPL 3.0 license, and our goal is to set a new industry standard for content authentication. It's free to use, and we're excited to get your feedback, contributions, or ideas for improvement. Ask me anything!

Hey HN!

Tired of dealing with spam form submissions? I sure am! That is why I built FormSanitizer: a straightforward solution for blocking unwanted noise. It's easy to integrate with existing website form and offers features like custom keyword filters and random string detection.

My goal was to create a simple, effective tool that saves developers and website owners time and frustration.

Check it out at https://www.formsanitizer.com/

I'd love to hear your thoughts and any feedback you might have! Have you faced similar spam issues, and what solutions have you tried?

Caleb,
In my school district, and I suspect many across the country, the same school buses are used for high school (pick up around 7am), middle school (7:45) and elementary (8:30). The drop off times are similarly staggered. Many buses also do two runs for a single school for dense communities, or do “late bus” runs for dropping off kids after sports or clubs. Point being, the buses get plenty of use even with 3-4 hours of downtime in the middle of the day.

Oh god. Yeah, you were in JPress pricing territory so I was really surprised you had that experience, those clothes should have been tanks. I had no idea lululemon was that expensive, I’ve never shopped there because I thought it was fast fashion and associated it with athleisure.

Find your sizing in a few not-even-that-good but ok brands that sell enough for used stuff to be pretty common (not JPress, they’re too low-volume—brooks brothers, jcrew, that kind of thing) by shopping at thrift stores. Those brands (right now—both are slowly getting worse) have more consistent sizing than most, so the super power you just unlocked is buying their clothes used on eBay/Poshmark/et c., and shopping their sales online (these brands are down-market enough that they do have meaningful sales sometimes)

Note that these sorts of places don’t just size shirts S/M/L, but also have fit modifiers like “slim” (only slightly fat) and “trim” (not fat—these are jcrew) or, for brooks brothers, names like “regent” or “Milano” that you’ll need a chart to translate (but then you just remember the one or two that fit you well and forget about the rest). Also, in shirts sized by collar, get it right so you can button that without discomfort or a too-large gap, and know that you may need to get the sleeves tailored if you intend to wear it with jackets—this is a fairly easy adjustment, a cheap local tailor can do it, 99% chance it’ll be an Asian woman, if it’s a guy you’re almost certainly somewhere too pricey for that alteration.

Don’t shop “outlets”, they’re mostly not discounted clothes, but worse clothes made for the outlets.

You can do something similar with nice (leather) shoe brands by getting cheap beat-up ones on eBay to dial in your sizing (if you don’t have a store close by—if you do, you try on shoes representing multiple lasts, buy one new pair if you feel bad about wasting the clerks’ time, then buy zero more new pairs from them again), then buy seconds (slightly defective, barely noticeable from good brands) and nicer ebayed pairs.

[edit] oh and measure yourself. Neck, chest, natural waist, high hip, low hip (if something only has one hip measurement, they mean low). If buying jackets, measure the jackets on a crappy one you thrifted that fits well. There are guides for this.

It seems like a lot of work up front, but it unlocks lazy fashion forever. I have great luck blind-buying used and even new pieces from good brands I haven’t tried on, based on measurements (anywhere remotely worth buying from will provide measurements). I almost never shop in person these days unless it’s a thrift store.
