XSLT has been a goal of this project from the start, as my customer uses it. XSLT 3.0 simply as that's the latest specification. What tooling do you use for XSLT 2.0?
Ask HN: What is the most secure way of baby monitoring?
We are expecting a baby and we want to buy a camera to monitor the baby. I want to buy an offline one for domestic use but my wife wants to buy an IP camera so that we can watch even when we are out of home. I don't trust the companies like Xiaomi and services.

What is the most secure way of monitoring babies? Is there a way to ensure e2e encryption?
I'd be significantly less worried about being in a panopticon if it was going to accurately judge my good and bad deeds and do nothing else.
I mean we as a society. We want really good containers for our food and other goods we purchase but we don't want a mountain of indestructible waste piling up everywhere and causing pollution and health problems.

Before the invention of plastics we didn't have that. We had paper, metal, wood, and glass containers for food. They were either water susceptible (paper, wood, and metal) or expensive to manufacture and heavy (metal and glass) or even brittle and somewhat dangerous (glass but also metal with sharp edges).

We still use paper and some metal for a lot of food packaging today, but it's always mixed with plastic. Plastic bag inserts, plastic coating on paper packaging, plastic film to act as a barrier between the food and the paper, etc. Even the lowly paper coffee cup is coated with PTFE to make it waterproof!
For what it's worth: Wearing hand me down clothes has been the norm throughout most of modern human history. To the point that it's been a major influence on fashion. For example, a lot of the ribbons and trim on Victorian clothing was a way to cover up where the clothing had been altered or repaired after being handed down (often from an employer to their servants).

I don't say that to be critical if wearing previously worn clothing bothers you. I just bring it up because sometimes things stop bothering me once I realize that they are fairly common experiences.
Personally, if Im hiring junior engineers, and they have the ability to use LLM to solve the problem and explain it, I see no problem with that. When I worked for Amazon knowing the kind of development that happens someone who is able to code with an assistant could do the necessary work faster than someone who codes without it.

This is the same type of test as the takehome tests that a lot of companies give, where you can use google or stack overflow previously to do research.

If I was hiring for my own project and needed people that can problem solve, I would be asking more involved questions that LLMs could not solve, because LLMS will give you just the standard most commonly used solution.

For example an analogy to another industry, LLMs can't tell you how to design a mountain bike correctly at a level of detail that matters, because there is no guide online that tells you how to do this.
Much lower hanging fruit than a re-write project would be to go after wage theft and businesses fraudulently not paying into Social Security such as via mis-classification. Not sure why Doge doesn't prioritize that largest offenders/perpetrators of fraud against Social Security, I.E. American business that routinely fraudulently fail to follow the law. Misclassification/taking peoples wages (prevent social security being pay on those taken funds) are larger than the agreed sub 1% of Social Security payments that are fraud.

So, what you're saying is the equivalent of "plants don't grow in nature, they grow in greenhouses"? I don't see how what you're stating contradicts the author.
Yes, exactly. There is a bell curve of hype, where some people think autoregressive decoders will lead us to AGI if we just give it the right prompt or perhaps a trillion dollars of compute. And there are others who haven’t even heard of ChatGPT. Depending on which slice of the population you’re interacting with, it’s either under or over hyped.
I expect one of the database MCPs would do the trick too, if you didn't mind burning _several_ rounds of back-and-forth under the covers.
Google will stop making the Nest Protect smoke alarm
> I wonder what do you think is the solution to this?

Hard to tell, to be honest. Maybe the solution is a presidential republic with a federal government like the USA. Maybe it's to give more control to the EU parlament.

IMO the EU has expanded too much for its weak government model, and has now too many conflicting interests within it. It can't work without a strong central government, and since we can't find an agreement between all members on what that government should look like, we might as well split into multiple smaller unions where members interests converge.

> I even consider somehow that is a mistake to even vote for those if the discussion is not about the EU and the direction we want the EU to go but about how can we protect their own country where country = ANY of the members.

I agree, that's why it doesn't make sense to go through national elections to pick a commissioner, that will also skew the vote in nationalist terms. We have the EU elections to take decisions about the EU, but it turns out the EU parlament is pretty much powerless.
Thanks for responding. I guess I was getting at the fact that 99% of people won’t consistently hit high reader numbers. So to pick this as your goal, or starting point for an article, is dangerous because it just leads you to stop writing at some point.

But fully agree on the advice if the starting point is getting a lot of views/front page.
Peccioli: The Tuscan town even Italians don't know (2024)
I was there today to attend a kermesse made in collaboration with Il Post (one of the most famous online newspapers in italy) and it's truly one of a kind

Art installations spread through the place, and a conference palace with a terrace that looks like it was designed for designed for a James bond movie villain. Truly remarkable for a place that has only 4600 inhabitants

"They say the thing he did wrong was he was one of the first people that supported a gentleman named Donald Trump for president." - Donald Trump

One could make a plausible attempt to justify this pardon under the premise that exaggerating claims to investors is just puffery. But by Trump's own words, he's not even bothering. This is purely about political favors.
Doesn't matter where they live. If the app is made available for EU users, it has to comply if they're a "trader" (they've monetized an app in any way at any time or set their account to do so ever).
You can use the green party simply by donating sums to or amplifying extreme voices.

You do not need to control the whole of a ideology driven organisation , when you can nudge the extremists and usefools to undo their own organisation .

The party leadership forwards public transport, the oil lobby finances damaging cars, glueing to streets and other activities. The fanatics of your own site, are the worst enemy .
Also there can be surprising situations with pensions, e.g. people legitimately receiving Civil War military pensions into the 2000s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War_widows_who_....

I don't know Social Security's data model, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was still legitimately paying out pensions derived from the accounts of people who'd be 150+ if they were still living.
Yeah that bit was funny to me. "I'm not sure why closed shapes are so ubiquitous and pairs of diverging lines aren't."
Clothing is handmade. It doesn't matter if it's luxury or from Shein; it's all handmade. Artisans can work tirelessly to make sure everything is stitched the exact same way but anything below that is made for the mass market. Those tend to be people paid nothing to work as fast as possible to make as many items as possible. In that environment, you're going to get a lot of inconsistency. The only tech that helps here is the sewing machine and using lasers to cut the pieces. Compare that to iPhones where there are a lot of industrial machines that are used to create each of the pieces paired with highly trained individuals helping assemble it. The iPhone is also a "luxury" good so they have a lot of QC whereas a shirt from Old Navy is cheap and as long as it "looks" correct then they'll sell it for $8.
I'm not being snarky here but, really?

The Internet is great, but it did not usher in a golden age utopia for mankind. So it was certainly possible to overhype it.
Sure, but that's not the fault of the format itself, is it? You can write extremely long enumerations in any natural language -- that's the author's fault.
A: Let's do stuff with containers.

B: What's a container?

A: It lets you execute a sequence of commands in an isolated and controlled environment that can be readily rebuilt, cloned or disposed of.

B: How do we do that? Using a standard procedural format such as a shell script or sequential command list?

A: Far too simple. Let's pipe everything through a new and evolving middleware control stack that re-implements standard primitives like file creation but lets you introduce new bugs and edge cases in any language you choose to use, thereby ensuring the host environment also requires additional configuration! And keep that interface unstable! And definitely don't write man pages!

B: TF?

The Real Book was pretty fundamental helping me learn jazz. I think a lot of jazz people look down on it (or those who need it), but I didn't really get deep enough to see that. There's a short video from Adam Neely that opened my eyes to that a bit.

Why planes periodically crash in GTA San Andreas (breakdown starts at 3:08) [video]
The game GTA San Andreas was the last major 3D GTA game of the PS2 era. It was the first one to introduce a flyby mechanic, whereby planes, identical to the ones pilotable by the player, and flown by in-game AI, would periodically fly over as an environmental detail. However, due to many different reasons mentioned throughout the video, these planes would often unexpectedly crash into obstacles, sometimes exploding right next to the player. Many attempts were made during the game's development to eliminate these plane crashes, but due to the complexity of the map, the PS2's hardware limitations, oversights and limited development time, the issue made its way onto the final game.

Personally, I find it really cool that something this relatively minor feature in a 20-year-old is being broken down in such detail in this fashion.
is this cursor specific or can i integrate with other things if im insane?
Saxon's free version, which IIRC only implemented 2.0.
Had we had better process isolation in the mid-90s, I assume web application development would mostly be Java apps, with a mini-vm for each one (sort of a qubes like environment).

We just couldn't keeps apps' hands out of the cookie jar back then.

Actually most people never complete the statement. It seems to be entirely accurate.

The bunch has been definitely been spoiled.
It would at least be useful for food delivery, since the packaging on that doesn't need to last more than a few hours tops.

Thanks, sometimes the flow's fruit is sweeter than others, less bitter medicine, and more perspectives of the all-encompassing beauty of life and love.

I love Willaim Gibson & his works, ever since he gave away the first mp3s I ever downloaded and played, of his somewhat abbereviated Neuromancer, with The Edge supplying the techno backbeat in places, eight 45min mp3s for eight tape sides, his voice inflecting his own work. And his work has only grown more excellent over the years and novels, more applicable and insightful and funny and engaging. And his twitter feed was absolutely excellent. I hope his sequel to Agency is coming along nicely.

Peace be with you.
That's crazy, I wonder what led people to 'donate'. Something like monetary indulgence as has been carried out by the catholic church?
Really didn't realize that most people think "Elastic Container Service" when they hear ECS? (I could be wrong, but it's also def not "Entity Component System", so should define the thing up-front)
This book doesn't seem massively different from several other existing textbooks. There are also several good textbooks on deep learning specifically (I'd recommend the new Bishop)

This textbook is hardly irrelevant for people who only care about deep learning though. It covers regularisation, optimisation, overparameterised models, double descent and err, neural networks. Sounds pretty relevant to me?

If you think the rest of the book is irrelevant then skip it.

You sound a bit nutty when you confidently state nobody uses any of the other methods in this book. How could you possibly know that?
Now help me mop up this mess in the med room.
My high skilled example from the other day: I wrote an algorithm out line by line in detail and had Claude turn it into avx2 intrinsics. It worked really well and i didn't have to dig through the manuals to remember how to get the lanes shuffled in the way I needed. Probably saved me 10 minutes but it would have been an annoying 10 minutes. :)

But that's a very low level task, where i had already decided on the "how it should be done" part. I find in general that for things that aren't really obvious, telling the llm _how_ to do it produces much more satisfactory results. I'm not quite sure how to measure that force multiplier - I can put in the same amount of work as a junior person and get better output?
The specifications are certainly not easy to read, and I wouldn't recommend them to learn about XML. But from the perspective of someone implementing them they are quite useful!

As someone who has used many programming languages and who went through the process of implementing this one I have many opinions about XPath and XSLT as programming languages. I myself am more interested in implementing them for others who value using them than using them myself. I do recognize there is a sizeable community of people who do use these tools and are passionate about them - and that's interesting to see and more power to them!
I doubt they'd post it since it would mean those AI firms could use it to adapt to their countermeasures.
I want to like Pinta, but some of the load/save behaviors are just weird... not sure if I last tried the Flatpak version or not, but I've tried it on both Mac and Linux a few times... It's my go to for quick edits, but far from a fav.
like boost serialize, which overloads the & operator
The US could figure something out decades ago doesn't mean it can now. I think ship building (even military ship building) is another example that the US could do decades ago with a very large capacity but I'm not sure whether it can reboot to such capacity nowadays.

At the time, Fitzpatrick worked for Google and got in a small amount of trouble for posting this video. The nest creator (Fadell) and the head of INfrastructure (Hoelze) both criticized him prominently internally. A number of googlers were suspicous and we started talking to the product managers for Nest Protect and it turned out they knew about this problem, the product was just defective. At that point, Nest more or less went on life support and Tony eventually bailed (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/04/technology/tony-fadell-ne...)

I remember walking into an office and seeing a group of Nesters sitting under a clock that counted down until they were allowed to transfer out of Nest.

My gosh, google is just terrible with physical products.
That is always what I hate about discussions like on HN, reddit, and the like: if you don't respond "fast" nobody will read it. By rights instead of hitting the reply button in a couple minutes I should put this reply in some queue, and review it several times over several times and then hit reply. However that means my insightful (lets assume insightful, though that isn't always a given) reply has waited until this is well off the front page and so nobody (except maybe the person I'm replying to) will notice.

Instead what I do is glance over things - but that mostly means I fix anything my spell checker has flagged. I know from experience that if less than several hours haven't passed I will not see all the things that don't make sense - they make sense in my mind and I know what I meant really meant. Several hours/days later I will see just how impossible things are to understand. (I'm now going to press that reply button, I hope this all makes sense to you..)
I totally agree, and this community far is from the worst. In trans communities there's incredible hostility towards LLMs - even local ones. "You're ripping off artists", "A pissing contest for tech bros", etc.

I'm trans, and I don't disagree that this technology has aspects that are problematic. But for me at least, LLMs have been a massive equalizer in the context of a highly contentious divorce where the reality is that my lawyer will not move a finger to defend me. And he's lawyer #5 - the others were some combination of worse, less empathetic, and more expensive. I have to follow up a query several times to get a minimally helpful answer - it feels like constant friction.

ChatGPT was a total game-changer for me. I told it my ex was using our children to create pressure - feeding it snippets of chat transcripts. ChatGPT suggested this might be indicative of coercive control abuse. It sounded very relevant (my ex even admitted in a rare, candid moment that she feels a need to control everyone around her one time), so I googled the term - essentially all the components were there except physical violence (with two notable exceptions).

Once I figured that out, I asked it to tell me about laws related to controlling relationships - and it suggested laws either directly addressing (in the UK and Australia), and the closest laws in Germany (Nötigung, Nachstellung, violations of dignity, etc., translating them to English - my best language). Once you name specific laws broken and provide a rationale for why there's a Tatbestand (ie the criterion for a violation is fulfilled), your lawyer has no option but to take you more seriously. Otherwise he could face a malpractice suit.

Sadly, even after naming specific law violations and pointing to email and chat evidence, my lawyer persists in dragging his feet - so much so that the last legal letter he sent wasn't drafted by him - it was ChatGPT. I told my lawyer: read, correct, and send to X. All he did was to delete a paragraph and alter one or two words. And the letter worked.

Without ChatGPT, I would be even more helpless and screwed than I am. It's far from clear I will get justice in a German court, but at least ChatGPT gives me hope, a legal strategy. Lastly - and this is a godsend for a victim of coercive control - it doesn't degrade you. Lawyers do. It completely changed the dynamics of my divorce (4 years - still no end in sight, lost my custody rights, then visitation rights, was subjected to confrontational and gaslighting tactics by around a dozen social workers - my ex is a social worker -, and then I literally lost my hair: telogen effluvium, tinea capitis, alopecia areata... if it's stress-related, I've had it), it gave me confidence when confronting my father and brother about their family violence.

It's been the ONLY reliable help, frankly, so much so I'm crying as I write this. For minorities that face discrimination, ChatGPT is literally a lifeline - and that's more true the more vulnerable you are.
yes, because it's not really a misleading title as it is still the artist's impression. If the artist didn't like it, they would just keep modifying the prompt until they were satisfied. So it is the artist's impression.

where are we disagreeing?

Not true. There are many eucalypts. Some benefit from fire. Others benefit from cold. Most require neither and some probably require different seed release or germination stimuli.

A primary evolutionary purpose of the oils seems to be as a pathogen resistance measure, being antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal.
This may be too complex of a setup but if that were my task I would install one of the open source NVM's like ZoneMinder [1][2], get a few cameras and use port forwarding to HAProxy with basic authentication to keep bots off the ZoneMinder interface in the event of vulnerabilities. This is only useful if you are not behind CG-NAT otherwise a VPN would have to be established from the home to a VM somewhere and then use that VM as the entry-point. Your extended family members could also have a browser open watching what is going on in your home.

That ZoneMinder or other open source NVM would double as home security so you could also watch all the doors, windows, yards, driveway, garage, etc... Each NVM will have a webpage that lists the compatible cameras.

I assume you mean to watch the baby while a babysitter is there and the baby is not truly alone. There are also some NannyCam devices that hide the camera so you can also keep an eye on what the babysitter is doing with the baby in multiple rooms.

None of this addresses E2EE but the server would be hosted in your house and would be using TLS to your web browser to watch it.
