I never knew that Planck was such a pessimist. I wonder why? I mean the guy knew.
betimsl··on Show HN: I Built a Visual Workflow Automation Platform – FlowRipple
From the demo on the homepage, I feel like, it would be much easier to call the trusty old mail(admin, new, registration) func on that trigger... than to go through all that hustle and bustle.

betimsl··on Ask HN: Promoted, but Career Path Derailed
Talk to your boss, make sure that you wont be fired over some simple complaints, then gather your team around and make sure to send the message that screwing around and completing one task a week is over, maybe fire the worst guy. Raise the rigor for 200%. Fridays should end at 2pm, you and your team go straight to a bar where beer is plentiful. Thank me in a month.

Cheers

betimsl··on Nvidia releases its own brand of world models
Given they are releasing models, whose to say that they don't have teams working -- not secretly -- just not in the open?

No problem. If you are in EU, you upload your input to a server located in US, that way EU law can watch you do that.
betimsl··on OpenAI’s board, paraphrased: ‘All we need is unimaginable sums of money’
Don't we all?
betimsl··on My second year without a job
I'm going through a very similar thing for 2 years now. All I can say is that I don't wanna work for a company anymore, specially a FANG like setup.

I have some friends who work, sometimes they work remotely from my studio and when they do zoom meetings, oh man, ugh...

betimsl··on Show HN: I combined spaced repetition with emails so you can remember anything

betimsl··on D2: Declarative Diagramming – A modern language that turns text to diagrams
Hey, just as an idea, how about having a struct.from.go(`type my struct{...`) copy/paste go code. This way cognitive load of the user is less because we would not need to remember/lookup d2 syntax when writing coding diagrams.
betimsl··on Apple silently uploads your passwords and keeps them
I'm not in this field so I don't have time to read these documents. But I checked it out, and...from my understanding the document describes that they can't see your passwords because they do on device export+encrypt and new device decrypt+import.

Is it like that in reality? Should be easy to confirm with a MITM Transparent Proxy, someone should try to find out. Just out of curiosity.

It's exciting to find a company like Apple making a mistake, and they do make mistakes, but boy do they have quality software and it's getting better by the day. Just have a look at their SDK and interfaces: uniform and practical.

betimsl··on Apple silently uploads your passwords and keeps them
They probably encrypt the export with some kind of hash that is then securely transported to the new machine, decrypt it and import.

Maybe someone can reverse engineer, attach a debugger and confirm, or analyze the traffic with a Transparent MITM Proxy on the new machine. Just grep for your password in the traffic captured, should be easy.

And then write a blog post about that. Let's see what happens.
