Maybe. How much of your programming ability comes from mentorship from your coworkers? I think its less than 10% for me. Maybe its a lot more for others, particularly self taught programmers?

But that still doesn't explain my classroom experience. Some of my weaker students worked much harder than some of my more talented students. The weaker students also ended up getting a lot more 1-on-1 time from me as a teacher. That helped a bit - but the ranking in assessments was - for the most part - depressingly stable. I think the world would be a much fairer place if ability was purely a function of how much work you've put in. But unfortunately I don't think the data backs that up.

So for example, Google uses a goobuntu/bazel based toolchain to get their go compiler binaries.

The full source bootstrapped go compiler binaries in stagex exactly match the hashes of the ones Google releases, giving us as much confidence as we can get in the source->binary chain, which until very recently had no solution at all.

Go has unique compiler design choices that make it very self contained that make this possible, though we also can deterministically build rust, or any other language from any OCI compatible toolchain.

You are talking about one layer down from that, the source code itself, which is our next goal as well.

Our plan is this:

1. Be able to prove all released artifacts came from hash locked source code (done)

2. Develop a universal normalized identifier for all source code regardless of origin (treehash of all source regardless of git, tar file etc, ignoring/removing generated files, docs, examples, or anything not needed to build) (in progress)

3. Build distributed code review system to coordinate the work to multiple signed reviews by reputable security researchers for every source package by its universal identifier (planning stages)

We are the first distro to reach step 1, and have a reasonably clear path to steps 2 and 3.

We feel step 2 would be a big leap forward on its own, as it would have fully eliminated the xz attack where the attack hid in the tar archive, but not the actual git tree.

Pointing out these classes of problem is easy. I know, did it for years. Actually dramatically removing attack surface is a lot more rewarding.

Worth pointing out that Wrogjt was usually wrong on such matters. Fallingeater is structurally comprised and has required substantial repairs over the years.
In the local context as well. Unlike say the docker socket which is protected by default using unix permissions, the CDP protocol has no authorization, authentication or permission mechanism.

Anything on your machine (such as a rogue browser extension or a malicious npm/pypi package) could scan for this and just get all your cookies - and that's only the beginning of your problems.

CDP can access any origin, any data stored (localStorage, indexedDB ...), any javascript heap, cross iframe and origin boundaries, run almost undetectable code that uses your sessions without you knowing, and the list is very long. CDP was never meant to expose a real browser in an untrusted context.
I think everything you said is 100% true. But the latter half is also true - React has (for better or worse) always been a view 'library' and has very little opinion on syncing network state/api requests.

Unfortunately, many people use inappropriate levels of abstraction (useEffect and/or redux) and it becomes an architectural problem.
Iridient X-transformer produces a linear (demosaiced) DNG, that's its sole reason to exist, to do a better job at debayering than other software like Adobe. So it wouldn't make any sense for Iridient X-transformer to produce a mosaiced DNG because that would be basically a noop, the program wouldn't do anything.

So yes, of course that files produced by Iridient X-transformer are large, they are linear files. They are exactly three times as large because there are three color channels, four times as large if you also embed the original.

There is zero reason to convert RAF files to DNG files if you camera produces RAF files. The discussion we're having here is cameras producing mosaiced DNG natively, which as I hoped I showed you wouldn't come with any size penalty. The DNG can use modern lossless compression techniques, and can encode the same mosaiced (not debayered) data. And it works in every program, unlike RAF which always needs to be reverse engineered for every new camera release.
Is raw a defined format? Or is it just whatever is most performant for the camera to write to storage, while also allowing for conversation to standard formats. Most are likely similar, running same or similar architectures, but in and of itself there is no raw format spec that must be adhered to. So if one way is more amenable to the system architecture, then that wins.
I agree here. Use automated tools to find low hanging fruit, or mistakes.

There is unfortunately no substitute for a coordinated effort to document review by capable security researchers on our toolchain sources.
Yikes!

That sounds like a vicious cycle: when people are stressed out, they are less likely to be able to learn successfully, setting them up to under-perform, get fired and then further stress out everyone else around them.

Cortisol has never improved a line of code.

Doing an explicit probationary period could at least reassure people who have been there longer, but it seems like it would be hard to regain trust at that point. The company should probably be praying its employees are unionizing behind the scenes & can save them from the mess they are making.
That would still be prioritizing structures based on risk. Not just spraying random other houses in town because they feel left out.

As the other (dead, but correct) commenter pointed out, job one is proving the released binary artifacts even match source code, as that is the spot that is most opaque to the public where vulns can most easily be injected (and have been in the past over and over and over).

Only with this problem solved, can we prove the code humans ideally start spending a lot more time reviewing (working on it) is actually the code that is shipped in compiled artifacts.

The 'we' here is the issue. Who is we? The human race do not share complex holistic goals, organisational frameworks, or even aesthetic preferences. It's a miracle cooperation exists at all at transnational scale. The hope that it could serve functional purposes - rather than alternately facilitating the enrichment of the very few, and constraining the worst excesses of that wealth transfer - seems to beg the question, how?

'We' don't truly care about anything, there is no we once the net gets that wide. Don't get me started on 'should', a word that shakes its head in impotence.

I think it was more that they were afraid that a merge might some day be non-trivial. Amazing how that fear goes away once you've actually had the experience.

(I had to check because of this thread. SVN and Git initial releases were apparently about 4 and a half years apart. I think it was probably about 6 years between the time I first used SVN and the time I first used Git.)

I wonder this too. My guess is that he did not like "heavyweight" branching and the lack of cherry-pick/rebase. At any rate that is why I didn't like it back then.

Sun Microsystems (RIP) back then went with Mercurial instead of Git mainly because Mercurial had better support for file renames than Git did, but at Sun we used a rebase workflow with Mercurial even though Mercurial didn't have a rebase command. Sun had been using a rebase workflow since 1992. Rebase with Mercurial was wonky, but we were used to wonky workflows with Teamware anyways. Going with Mercurial was a mistake. Idk what Oracle does now internally, but I bet they use Git. Illumos uses Git.

Remembering John Conway's FRACTRAN, a ridiculous, yet surprisingly deep language
All raw means is scene-referred data. The idea that somehow raw means "raw" data from the sensor is an often repeated idea, but unfortunately is completely nonsense. Modern sensors do on-chip noise reduction, they can be programmed to give data in all kind of formats and with different processing done to it. The same sensor used in different cameras can have different ISO. The same sensor used in different cameras can produce different RAW files even at the same ISO. Not just in the sense of a different file format, in the sense of different data in the file, from the exact same sensor, but programmed differently.
100% reproducible? That's amazing. I'll be honest, I don't really believe you (which I suppose is the point, right?).

Maybe because the LLM improvements haven't been that good in the last year, they needed some new thing to hype it/market it.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, the benchmark scores are indeed higher, but in my personal experience, LLMs make as many mistakes as they did before, still too unreliable to use for cases where you actually need a factually correct answer.

Show HN: Browser-Use MCP for Claude that works without an API key
Hey everyone,

I built an MCP that enables the Claude desktop app to control your browser with Browser Use (YC W25).

MCPs (based on the Model Context Protocol by Anthropic) enable Claude to use tools that can do a variety of functions like searching the web, executing code, manipulating files, accessing APIs; basically interacting with things outside the conversation context.

The main reason I built this MCP was because I saw that existing Browser Use MCPs required me to get an API key from OpenAI/Anthropic playgrounds in order to use them with the Claude desktop app, which I didn't want to do because I already pay for Claude.

It was fun to read the Browser Use code (https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use) to see how everything works! There's basically an agent (powered by an LLM of your choice) which has access to a bunch of tools. I removed that agent and made the Claude desktop app the agent instead using the Model Context Protocol by Anthropic, and finally gave it access to the Browser Use tools to tie everything together.

Hope you find it useful!

A lot of people are comparing this to Liz Truss but in fact it's so much worse. The fact that the party not the people put her in charge means that there was much less loss of trust when they removed her.

Compared to if Liz Truss had been voted in by the public TWICE?
A local minimum is a point in the design space from which any change is an improvement (but there's other designs which would be worse, if they make several larger changes). I think it's hard to make that claim about Git. You're probably referring to a local maximum, a point in the design space from which any change makes it better (but there's other designs which would be better, if they make several larger changes).

In my career, I've used Svn, Git and something I think it was called VSS. Git has definitively caused less problems, it's also been easy to teach to newbies. And I think the best feature of Git is that people really really benefit from being taught the Git models and data structures (even bootcamp juniors on their first job), because suddenly they go from a magic incantation perspective to a problem-solving perspective. I've never experienced any other software which has such a powerful mental model.

That of course doesn't mean that Mercurial is not better; I've never used it. It might be that Mercurial would have all the advantages of git and then some. But if that were so, I think it would be hard to say that Git is at a local maximum.

In Japan, men commit suicide at roughly twice the rate of women. The age group with the highest rate of suicide was 50-59. I can't find good data, but loneliness and not feeling valued by a community is very likely a significant contributor here.

That works for a certain class of applications, but it's not very simple once you do want interactivity on the browser client.

Nor would I call it simple that the server has to be able to send the whole UI over the wire instead of just data. And it ties your server to the web browser instead of providing a simple data API that can be used by anything that can make an http request.

There are always trade-offs.
