> If I send an email to a mailing list, it shouldn't be passed off as mine when forwarded.

I think it's actually the exact opposite, it should be possible to keep origin information intact. This lets everyone verify that it's "x through mailing list y" instead of "mailing list y saying it was x". It's a massive difference and lets the mailing list operate separate from the reputation of the content (from some other domain).

> Moreover, internal forwarders for things like spam filtering and virus scanning and corporate domain forests are internal infrastructure problems that shouldn't be treated as something which the sender has to prepare for.

And it isn't. But wanting it to be more difficult is simply not viable.

With DKIM2 coming, that kind-of combines DKIM and ARC, SPF will become even more useless and a hindrance. And signatures will be much more resilient to forwarding even with (some) modifications. This is what the industry wants, not the opposite.

> Maybe that's too idealistic, but it's not like I'm dying on the hill that we should have rolled out global S/MIME!

S/MIME is being revived as well right now. So who knows how it'll go, maybe that's an another thing we'll be getting.

Just don't use the length tag, then it's off.

Google tells Fitbit owners to move to Google or else
You are receiving this email because there is an important upcoming change to your Fitbit account and action is required.

As we have previously shared, Fitbit is now a part of Google, and Fitbit Account holders will need to transition to Google Accounts to continue using Fitbit. If you want to keep using Fitbit, you must move to a Google Account by 2 February 2026. If you use a Gmail account to sign in to Fitbit, you must also move to a Google Account. Learn more.

If you do not move to a Google Account by the deadline, you will not be able to continue using the Fitbit service. Your historical data will not be retained beyond 2 February 2026 (except as needed to comply with laws), and your account and data will be deleted.

To move to a Google Account, open the Fitbit app, go to app settings, and look for the option to move Fitbit to your Google Account (you may need to update the app in order to continue). You can also download or delete your data anytime on or before 2 February 2026.

You can learn more here.

Anybody who's worked with it for any length of time knows that the charts contained are good enough for jam session purposes but either contain inaccuracies when compared to the canonical versions of songs or may have been based on the "wrong" (according to some) canonical versions. Working this out means developing your ears and listening both to the original recordings and to the musicians you're playing with in a given situation. Many people end up in a place where they're just using their ears and memory to skip the book entirely, which in some situations is an essential skill.

Most level-headed people I think regard the book as a useful tool, a step in the growth journey. As egos and insecurities enter the mix you'll occasionally find somebody who'll proclaim that the Real Book is purely a crutch and you should start and end with the ear-training bits or you're "doing it wrong".
Not really, because I mostly use AI as a conversation partner / researcher to answer questions and explore ideas. Often the answers are entirely outside of my current knowledge, so I’m not doing something I could otherwise do myself.

When Google bought Fitbit I moved to Garmin mostly because I could download my data from them. I still believe the ideal personal fitness analytics device would use a data repository at your own residence via something like Tailscale than having a third party retain it.
Yes and especially the article mentions "With the help of the Google Security Team" so it's quite collaborative and not exactly black box hacking.
Messaging is internally rate limited and capped per recipient. And it uses a sender pool.
this is actually an interesting topic and it turns out kernel never made any promises about close() and data being on the disk :)

and about kernel-level crashes: yes, but you see, dpkg creates a new file on the disk, makes sure it is written correctly with fsync() and then calls rename() (or something like that) to atomically replace old file with new one.

So there is never a possibility of given file being corrupt during update.

It’s sad that they fired him for simply being Chinese but I don’t see how this is an issue of academic freedom. He wasn’t teaching anything deep or challenging to the state as a Chinese language teacher. This is a case of racism in academia, which is still shocking.

Most surprising part of the article is that Wang was surprised that he got in trouble for publicly criticizing Xi and the Chinese government causing him to lose his teaching job. Having worked in both Chinese and US universities that is just a dumb move on his part. What was he expecting? I also don’t understand how not being able to teach anymore equals having to flee to America to become a lowly language adjunct? Did he just criticize the government once or did he think he could become the only legal activist in China? Point being, he doesn’t seem the brightest.

Insecure how? The fact that someone could listen in to the phone call is (to me) largely irrelevant.

The real point being that it still has wider coverage in remote parts (of the UK), and draws less power.

This wasn't my experience. Hacker News felt surprisingly welcoming as soon as I upped the depth and reduced the opinion.

There are some areas I noticed Hacker News isn't very interested in, such as web accessibility (other platforms picked that up much better), but I think that has more to do with the not-as-exciting subject than the writer/blog.
No, not really. I find it almost impossible to get AI to generate anything of any significant complexity.

For me the main difference is that I search and read much less when problem solving. In the past I'd often have to search docs and SO for ages looking for information about some bug/functionality. Today about 50% of the time I can just ask AI if it knows what I need. Although the other 50% of the time it will give me some BS hacky answers or just make something up – especially when I'm using less common libraries.

Where I have got much lazier is when it comes to writing BS code like regexs, etc. It's not that I can't write them, I just know that it will take me longer to think about and create the regex than explaining to an LLM what I want to match on. But you still need to know regex to review it so I don't feel like losing any skills, just able to work faster in some cases like how pulling a email regex from SO would have help you code a solution faster a decade a go.
An interesting book is "Bebt: The first 5000 years" by David Graeber

It talks about the various ways debt can insinuate itself into society. In somce cases it can pull people together, in other ways it can corrupt everything it touches.
No it's not the same level of internal. There are internal proto files specific to Chromium and its API endpoints, and then there are internal proto files for google3. The latter can divulge secrets about Google's general server side architecture. The former only divulges secrets about server side components relevant to Chromium.

The bot has access to any sent messages to yourself, plus any chatter in group chats if you have enabled that. So don't use it for sensitive stuff, and use a dedicated group. It was developed to relay sensor data and such, not war plans.

I don’t think your main experience with LLMs (coding clearly defined tasks) refute what Sabine is saying.

The use cases are vastly different and the first is just _not_ world changing. It’s great, don’t get me wrong, but it won’t change the world.
I feel like that commenter was a little harsh with that statement - I will say however that it has caught some flak as a source of truth. There are quite a few standards (principally, original jazz compositions by jazz musicians that have now become "standards", this probably isn't as much a problem for true "Great American Songbook" standards since those were always notated), that were transcribed incorrectly in original versions of real/fake books. To the point that many younger generation players are playing incorrect heads and/or changes to tunes since they learn it from the book rather than by ear. Not even that, but often they are just straight wrong, or dumbed down versions of the changes.

> XML sucks shit for someone who wants to think tersely and code by hand. Seriously, I hate it with a fiery passion.

At the risk of glibly missing the main point of your comment, take a look at KDL. Unlike JSON/TOML/YAML, it features XML-style node semantics. Unlike XML, it's intended to be human-readable and writeable by hand. It has specifications for both a query language and a schema language as well as implementations in a bunch of languages. https://kdl.dev/
Funny seeing Kerala here. Just a few days ago I got a post into my timeline where someone wrote about taking a forest road out of Kerala in the evening and what a bad idea that was, because of Google Maps not working right and wild animals in the woods. That lead me to looking it up on google maps and I noticed something curious: It looks like Kerala has border checkpoints to the surrounding states. Complete with turnpikes. Is this normal in India? Or just Kerala? Are these even border checkpoints? (They are labeled as such on Google Maps, but that could be wrong)
You've described my job for the last few years.
>Thought is certainly associated with change of state, but can't be reduced to it.

You can effectively reduce continuously dynamic systems to discreet steps. Sure, you can always say that the "magic" exists between the arbitrarily small steps, but from a practical POV there is no difference.

A transistor has a binary on or off. A neuron might have ~infinite~ levels of activation.

But in reality the ~infinite~ activation level can be perfectly modeled (for all intents and purposes), and computers have been doing this for decades now (maybe not with neurons, but equivalent systems). It might seem like an obvious answer, that there is special magic in analog systems that binary machines cannot access, but that is wholly untrue. Science and engineering have been extremely successful interfacing with the analog reality we live in, precisely because the digital/analog barrier isn't too big of a deal. Digital systems can do math, and math is capable of modeling analog systems, no problem.
Byung-Chul Han in burnout society introduces the concept of hyperattention, which is the kind of attention that seems efficient at first, because it gives the impression of enabling you to multitask, but in reality it robs you from any deep and meaningful connection to anything around you.

That's is pretty much what happens with anything tech nowadays. Because we see technology as a pure feat of rationality where in fact what we consume are nothing more than cultural artifacts, which will invariably reflect the fundamental problems of the society in which these artifacts are forged. In our case, in the Burnout Society, it's potentializing hyperattention.
Question: how does it feel inside google in terms of losing their lunch to OpenAi? Losing here is very loose, I don’t think OpenAI won yet but seems to have made a leap ahead of google in terms of marker share and we know google was sitting on tons of breakthroughs and research. Any panicking or internal discontent at google’s product policies? No need to answer if you’re uncomforable that your employer may hold you responsible for what you write here.

You're obviously very good at writing things that get read by many people. It seems to be a very high priority for you.

The link on your website says "Write Blog Posts that Developers Read". I'd have expected that to explain _why_ writing blog posts that developers read is worthwhile.

> It doesn't have to be millions of people, but I don't think most people find it satisfying to spend hours writing an article for it to only reach a single-digit number of readers.

I write a blog that gets read by no one. When I publish a blog post, I don't check how many people read it. The blog has no particular topic, just whatever random thoughts pop into my head. Yes I'd like to improve my writing, so I can formulate my thoughts better. But I'm a little suspicious of anyone who thinks reaching a big audience is so obvious a goal it doesn't even require explaining why.

[Edit]: Ah, I think I get it now! You write about how to write so that people read your blog. And you're good at it, which leads to many people reading your blog. Naturally, your readers are people who want their writing to be read more. You interact with your readers, and that's why you think people write blogs with the goal of them being read.
> The “digital echo” is more than just the awareness of this; it is the cognitive burden of knowing that our actions generate data elsewhere.

I don't really feel any burden of this myself, I don't feel weighed down by the data generated by my actions. If someone else wants to clutter up their database with some useless info, that's on them. I mainly feel the "direct" burden of distraction.

Thank you for the kind words!

The storage engine is pretty tightly integrated with the log, but the programming model allows you to attach quasi arbitrary state to keys.

So see whether this fits your use case, would be great to better understand the data and structure you are working with. Do you have a link where we could look at this?
> I guess what you are saying is the problem is the company culture ... sucks.

I believe the problem is the way devops is often practiced. I've worked as a developer, a manager and an operator and I've occasionally carried a pager. I think there is value in rotating between those roles at different times since it enables engineers to gain knowledge and insight they often won't get any other way. But assigning engineers to after-hours on-call duties when they're simultaneously responsible for product development "because they built the system" is just a stupid unethical and unsustainable practice that needs to end.

Good companies hire and train engineers to develop, manage and operate systems sustainably.
> (It should be noted that the United States is the only country with a sex offender registry system accessible to the public. In other countries, it’s only searchable by law enforcement.)

I've found EU consensus to have compelling arguments on why that is. Coupled with their consensus on the right to be forgotten, from search engines.

Its... interesting. I mostly agree that criminal sentences should be about rehabilitation, and permanent scarlet letters undermine that goal.

I'm also not a concerned parent, I can see how that doesn't match their security goals but I can't relate to it.

I can also see how in the US system, the criminal system, religion and overall culture is about punitive punishment, and not about rehabilitation. And fails at rehabilitation.

These are things I think should be addressed independently. But without those prongs addressed, I can see that supporting having a public scarlet letter that follows someone around their whole life, since it cannot be assumed they are rehabilitated, only did some time as punishment. I think it reinforces the problem people experience though.
This is normal for most state border in India. They mostly inspect commercial trucks
Hey Ian from Bismuth here, we see a lot of people talking about how "dumb" LLMs are and one thing I think people are still lagging behind on is integrating advanced code analysis into the agent loop.

For inner loop tools like Cursor this means using better static analysis and maybe test running.

For tools like ours on the outer loop and asynchronous you can lean on more advanced techniques like fuzzing to find bugs and use them as part of the agent loop to produce a higher quality artifact.

It definitely may take 5-10 minutes of extra time, but that isn't a problem when you can take an 20-40 minutes to finish a task.

So I think as a young industry we've barely scratched the tip of the iceberg on techniques to guide code generation and prevent unwanted outcomes for developers.

We've been using this very effectively as we've rolled out with early design partners and we also have some other content coming up very soon that cements the usefulness of this technique.
I agree that we don't have an expectation of privacy on a public road, but I feel like we've been frog boiled in the US into equating that with being tracked everywhere, all the time -- or, rather, constantly surveilled by both private and public entities.

I agree with you on the judicial approval and data expiration, but I don't think the systems should be active until those rules are enacted.

From Justice Sotomayor's concurring opinion in US v. Jones:

'“cases involving even short-term monitoring … require particular attention” because the “Government can store such records and efficiently mine them for information years into the future …. GPS monitoring is cheap … proceeds surreptitiously, [and] it evades the ordinary checks that constrain abusive law enforcement practices: ‘limited police resources and community hostility.'” Id. at *11. Justice Sotomayor expressed concerns that the Government’s use of such technology might chill “associational and expressive freedoms,”'

https://epic.org/documents/united-states-v-jones/

I don't think the universal surveillance we have today is even recognizably similar to a citizen being concerned about a surreptitious GPS tracker.

Another one is ps2x2pico. I've been using it in my retro machines and it works great. For my Logitech G305 mouse (1000hz), I have ps2x2pico configured to force a 100hz mouse polling rate so the cursor is super smooth in Windows 98 without needing to use a program like PS2Rate. For my Keychron S1 keyboard, N-key rollover works flawlessly.

On the other hand:

- XPath literally didn't exist when CSS selectors were introduced

- XPath's flexibility makes it a lot more challenging to implement efficiently, even more so when there are thousands of rules which need to be dynamically reevaluated at each document update

- XPath is lacking conveniences dedicated to HTML semantics, and handrolling them in xpath 1.0 was absolutely heinous (go try and implement a class predicate in xpath 1.0 without extensions)
