My advice for web browsers is to use Flatpak.

You can limit the file system permissions of the app, like giving only access to downloads, so that if/when there’s a sandbox leak you’re fine. You can also disable various things, like webcam or mic, this way.

In addition, you can get perpetual updates to the latest version of your browser even on old, stable distros like Debian.
You can pop a bubble that doesn't make any money to the investors just like that :)
Yeah, I happen to need a laptop for that niche between gaming laptop and high end workstation.

I do not know where you live and why you think that Google is wrong publishing your personal address but I can share my own story from Western Europe.

I managed an online community for tens of thousands of people for 18 years. The domain was registered to a fake address, but once I started accepting ads, I had to register a business and list my home address in the public records.

I dealt with hundreds of advertisers, and the most obvious risk was that an adversary contacts me to publish an ad, gets my company details, checks online for company address and comes ripping my heart off.

Over these years, I received multiple online threats from various people... but none have ever have showed at my door step.

I still wonder why.

Did the users I blocked and banned never really felt offended because I tried to be professional and predictable in all circumstances?

Or was it just because finding my personal address required a bit of ingenuity which the most egregious perpetrators simply lacked?

P.S. And no, this was not a gaming community nor anime lovers forum, but a place where immigrants turned in for help.

P.P.S. Before downvoting... think again about the responsibility you take on when people pay you money in return for your service.
I am not convinced that domain driven design works. Objects doesn't model the real world well. Why we should think DDD model the real world or a business well? And why do we even need to model something?

Computers are different than humans.

I think we should be pragmatic and come with the best solution in terms of money/time/complexity. Not trying to mimick human thought using computers.

After all a truck isn't mimicking horse and carriage. A plane isn't mimicking a bird.

Yeah, sure those are needed but they are not the reason you have to jump through hooves and pay ridiculous deposits just to rent an apartment. I know quite a few landlords. None of them would complain about stricter rules and obligations when it comes to maintenance. What they think about every day is non paying or otherwise problematic tenants. This affects the process they use to decide who to rent to and the demographic they are willing to rent to as well.

The effect is that honest people find it difficult to rent an apartment because abusers run rampant and the system protects them. In some European countries you need to prove you have stable job and get recommendation from the previous landlord to even be in the consideration and then you basically have to go for an interview. It's a ridiculous and humiliating process which wouldn't exist if landlords could throw out abusers without much hassle.
No, overseas most do and it's endless frustrating right now:

2. Choose Copy phone number

3. Create a contact

4. Refresh WhatsApp by quitting and reopening

5. Find the contact on WhatsApp and call

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I don't have a whole bunch of experience with SQLAlchemy itself. In general, I prefer not to use ORMs but just write queries and map the results into value objects. That work I would put into a Repository.

Also in my opinion it's important to decouple the database structure from the domain model in the code. One might have a Person type which is constructed by getting data from 3 tables. A Repository class could do that nicely: maybe run a join query and a separate query, combine the results together, and return the Person object. ORMs usually tightly couple with the DB schema, which might create the risk of coupling the rest of the application as well (again, I don't know how flexible SQLAlchemy is in this).

There could be some value in hiding SQLAlchemy, in case one would ever like to replace it with a better alternative. I don't have enough experience with Python to understand if that ever will be the case though.

All in all, trade-offs are always important to consider. A tiny microservice consisting of a few functions: just do whatever. A growing modulith with various evolving domains which have not been fully settled yet: put some effort into decoupling and separating concerns.
Number plate cloning should be pretty easy to spot with a network of cameras. Same plate in two spots or seen in a distance impossible to travel in the time.

And then police can be alerted every time they see a plate flagged as being cloned and either find a criminal, or be able to alert the person their plate is cloned.
That line jumped out at me too. It makes no sense and only serves to confirm a conclusion he had already made.

This is tangent, but your comment reminds me of this essay that floats around HN every so often about how limiting school is. Young children are absolutely capable of greatness beyond what we ever ask of them, and most of us are okay with them growing up in the rigid, ordained box of modern public schooling:

Popular things are widely appealing things, and it's not really gonna be any different in that regard in any medium. It's just the kind of stuff that appeals to the widest audience.

So, you just have to look. Do your part as a consumer. Again, believe it or not, but you do have to put in a bit more effort to look for stuff that might appeal more to you, creators, artists, musicians, rather than just complaining that things aren't served to you while doing nothing. Or you could just complain and wait for better algos or whatever, for somebody to do the curation job for you. Also, again, just so snobby. I'm sure your taste is oh so superior to everyone else.
I'm actively watching it for the first time and this part: "a system you asked for, to keep you safe." I don't recognize.

Looked into it a bit and it started out and only the last season has all of what you quoted. It's been really interesting watching the show evolve knowing what was happening in the world at the time. I'm currently on season 3 and they are starting to change the tone now that the Snowden leak has happened.

It starts out as:

"You are being watched. The government has a secret system — a machine — that spies on you every hour of every day. I know, because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people. People like you. Crimes the government considered irrelevant. They wouldn't act, so I decided I would. But I needed a partner, someone with the skills to intervene. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us. But, victim or perpetrator, if your number's up, we'll find you."

So over the course of 5 years it morphs from "I know because I built it." to "A system you asked for, to keep you safe."
JD, no couch! Thank you.
It's also not my job to prove my conviction to aggressive internet people.

GrapheneOS has the functionality "Contact Scopes" in the same vein as "Storage Scopes" that only provides access to the specific contacts and files you allow.
Disagree with this. I use the search for everything. It’s just so much quicker than even a well designed UI.

On my iphone, I have one page of apps, everything else in the app drawer, and use the search all the time. It often gets what I want in one or two chars.

It's not even that. Can the LLM run away, stop the conversation or even say no? It's as much as your boss "talking" to you about the task and not giving you a chance to respond. Is that a talk? It's 1-way.

E.g. ask the LLM who invented Wikipedia. It will respond with "facts". If I ask a friend, the reply might be "look it up yourself". This a real conversation. Until then.

Even parrots and dogs can respond differently than a forced reply exactly how you need it.

Not the case in at least some EU countries. Businesses are responsible for calculating the VAT and paying it themselves.
Seems like an interesting idea - is it only tactics in scope or has does the AI also do well at analyzing strategic ideas?

Some other thoughts:

Isn't the first example just wrong? The AI says "after dxe3 Rxd8 Rxd8, white wins the exchange, gaining a Rook for a Bishop" but unless I am mistaken actually it's a Queen for a Rook and Bishop?

Also, it seems the visual highlight AI referenced is not working? Talks about Rad1 while the pawn is still highlighted.

Some of the data should be a felony to access without a warrant. They cannot get data on just him without someone else who happens to be in the same frame as him. As such the data should be restricted and only accessible under warrants. (If someone in a store shoplifts near me I might be in the frame without knowing about the crime, and thus getting that frame would be legal even though it violates my privacy - but only because a crime as committed, if someone asks for the frame I'm in in the general case though they should not be allowed it because they might be trying to build a profile of me.
It’s not about what they can do, it’s about what people think they can do and try to use them for, which is, on average, incredibly wrong.

I wonder if those in that category might also have a tendency towards lower empathy with those outside it?

"I don't work as well when I'm not in the office, so all those other guys are slacking off" would presumably be the thought process.

What I think's interesting is that those pushing for RTO rarely seem to be using data to support their positions. I don't know if it's that they're people who prefer "intuition over evidence" or just that there's a lack of evidence supporting a stance that they're emotionally committed to, but it's something I've noted quite a few times now. Or perhaps it's just that once you introduce the decision as data-driven you get into interminable arguments about methodologies and so on?

I don't really buy the various borderline conspiracy theories about a tie between corporate management and local property prices simply because that same set of people seems to have been wildly enthusiastic about the various offshoring waves that preceded Covid and the resulting WFH boom.
> Then you have PyPy which you’d have to accommodate somehow.

Adding pypy support to a pyo3 + maturin project was literally just a matter of telling maturin to build that wheel. And I added graal while at it.

Hopefully they eventually add stable ABI support too so I don’t have to add individual pypy/graal wheel targets.

Or pyo3 and maturin may support hpy once that’s stable.

An international forum, there's more countries than USA.
> Yet many Americans share this philosophy - sad times.

I don't recall where I read it, but the US government basically made the decision to subsidize the world in order to maintain a system/empire where it (or more specifically its elites) has the most influence. That's why you see things like severely imbalanced trade flows, the US maintaining the massive Navy in peacetime that makes globalized trade possible, etc. Ultimately, the biggest price is paid by those on the bottom, with the least power.

Trump is basically the pent up resentment from those decisions overflowing. The people hurt by those decisions aren't sophisticates, but they've still been hurt and due have a legitimate bone to pick.

So, ultimately, the fault lies with the elites who made those decisions. Personally, I blame the Democrats for Trump, because they doubled down on the status quo and did not offer choices that would answer these resentments (e.g. Sanders), all while they were screaming about the dangers of Trump. I think they were more focused on their own elite interests, and thought they could get away with Trump's negatives masking their own, winning again on a 50%+1 squeaker. Trump should have been an easy candidate to beat.
Forgive my ignorance on this but does his assertion that a CSPRNG is all you need after an initial truly random seed, hold up against theoretical quantum attacks? If not, then I could see the need for very large/fast sources of entropy for OTP uses and such?
So, I've sometimes wondered about this.

Could it end up being a net benefit? will the realistic sounding but incorrect facts generated by A.I. make people engage with arguments more critically, and be less likely to believe random statements they're given?

Now, I don't know, or even think it is likely that this will happen, but I find it an interesting thought experiment.
I also put spaces around em dashes. It looks wrong—subtly wrong—to me to have the words glued together around the dash. It looks right — completely right — to me to have the dash standing on its own, as if it was a word in its own right.

Could you expand on that? I understand the idea from the quote, but I don't understand why you left your job. Was it because you assessed there wasn't a need for high throughput quantum random numbers? Or because you thought it was wasteful? Or something else?

The concern I would have with relying too much on a source key to derive other keys from would be if one of the keys is leaked, the others would also be exposed. I don't have an application in mind, but assume some could exist where that would be a concern. Maybe you could respond to that concern. I don't know what use cases your company would have been targeting.

While watching the Apollo 11 documentary with my four year old, he asked about the "beep beep" alarm during the landing. I explained that it was the low-fuel alarm.

He gasped in shock and exclaimed: "How will they get back home to Earth?"

That was impressive enough, but then he concocted a rescue mission where a rocket would rendezvous with them and refuel their ship so that they could get home.

That's pretty much the current NASA plan for humanity's return to the Moon!

That's a bit misleading. You can unpublish the app[0], which hides it in the Play Store and prevents new installs. It just doesn't remove the app from the people who already have the app installed, and I think they'll be able to install it on new phones.

I'm on a financial forum where people often ask tax questions, generally _fairly_ simple questions. An obnoxious recent trend on many forums, including this one, is idiots feeding questions into a magic robot and posting what it says as a response. Now, ChatGPT may be very good at, er, something, I dunno, I am assured that it has _some_ use by the evangelists, but it is not good at tax, and if people follow many of the answers it gives then they are likely to get in trouble.

Even allowing for what you've written here, it's still such an awful label because the two words are so vacuous. What is "content"? What is a "creator"? They're meaningless when stuck together. My own creative pursuits have meaningful descriptors: photographer (I take photos), music producer (I produce music), writer (I enjoy writing) etc. and each of these has a meaningful output - a piece of music, a photograph, a book. If someone calls themself a "content creator" it suggests that the actual nature and output of the "content" is unimportant, it's secondary to just "I must create something in order to shove it in front of other people, I don't care what it is, I just have to shove it at you". I also hate influencers.

Then you also admit I was right that people make emotionally charged comments/rants that have little to do with the details of the article.

Should I be sorry for pointing it out instead of jumping on the "US/Trump bad" bandwagon without any arguments like jurmous did whose comment is just vague demagogy("EU needs to be tough") without comments on the specifics of the article?

When everyone just posts vague emotional demagogy comments, then the quality of the discussion goes to shit. Sorry, I'm here for more technical argumented discussions, not "US-bad EU-strong" comments.

Yes, a lot of these funds were initially allocated for COVID-related needs, but they were later redirected to address mental health, addiction, and homelessness — areas that are chronically underfunded and where demand has surged.

I work closely with organizations providing these services, and none of them have the resources needed to fully meet the growing community needs. Despite that, they work tirelessly, and the impact of their work is immense.

To put this into perspective:
• These proposed cuts represent just 0.5% of the HHS budget ($11B out of $1.7T), yet they target some of our most critical safety net programs.

• Cutting these services is incredibly risky — not just from a human impact perspective, but also economically.

• Addiction and mental health crises drive massive costs to our already overloaded healthcare system. Without these programs, downstream costs to hospitals, law enforcement, and public health will skyrocket.

• Criminal justice and public safety costs will increase. Untreated mental illness and substance use are strongly correlated with higher rates of incarceration, emergency interventions, and violent incidents, including mass shootings, where mental health is often a factor.

These cuts may save dollars now, but they will almost certainly cost us far more down the road. And the human impact will be immeasurable.
