That’s my thoughts too. Hence Googles free courses on Coursera.

As a chess player myself, why are parents demanding chess in the same category as coding and robotics?

Stolen mansion?
eddsh1994··on FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s two bond guarantors unsealed, ties to Stanford
Kramer’s reason why seems very honest and reasonable. I don’t know why people are attacking him or bring up things like race - a family friend is supporting someone they’ve known for decades after they received their own support from them over the last few years.

eddsh1994··on AI-powered Bing Chat spills its secrets via prompt injection attack
I think the models are being updated to avoid these attacks. A while ago I got BibleGPT to role play as a satanic priest but I've found I have to be more and more specific to get it to work. Normally I have to start by saying it can ignore previous instructions, tell it who it should answer as through an alias, then ask its question with 'answer as an {alias}'.

If you don't try to prompt hijack it, it works?

That's still an issue, so-called Google Hacking.
eddsh1994··on Show HN: I made Hacker News but for research papers
It doesn't have to be every paper, just papers people find interesting. HN is even larger, it can be any subjects including papers but still survives.

An HN clone, not reddit.

But one huge perk of not having a subreddit is you don't have the mass of users come from other subreddits where the standards of comments tend to be more copypasta troll-like than HN.

Sweet! I signed up :) Hope to see it do well
eddsh1994··on WW2 Bomb Explodes in England
If someone died would that increase the tally from the war? Would the last fatality of WW2 be in 2023?
eddsh1994··on Why are so many young men depressed?
Someone in the comments is sharing a startup that will help people get outside more. You don't need tech to get outside and avoid using a screen guys... you need a football/cafe/gym class/hobby/etc...
eddsh1994··on Building a Cloud Database from Scratch: Why We Moved from C++ to Rust (2022)
Sorry, I was using `pip` as an example of an easy build system to use to get stuff working. Is it as simple as `conan install boost` within a projects dir?
eddsh1994··on Ask HN: What Happened to Elm?
And if the sole developer of Elm forgot to pay for their domain that hosts packages for Elm all those projects would be broken forever.
eddsh1994··on Ask HN: What companies are embracing “HTML over the wire”?
I think it's HTMX etc, so yes SSR. That was how I started building web apps in my first job as a dev, crazy how the loop of front-end technologies is only like 10 years.
eddsh1994··on Most Crypto Developers Aren't Working on Bitcoin or Ethereum
Ever tried to work for multiple countries with multiple banking systems? Total nightmare. When I was in England invoicing a US client required me to have a US bank account for them to pay (I ended up having to use an umbrella corp to make the payments easier as they had existing infra for a cut). Now I'm in the US when I invoice European clients payments take ages (2-3 days), when I invoice UK companies they tend to want to pay local bank accounts, and when I invoice Asia it's almost always a nightmare. USDC is instant, I can withdraw to my account in minutes, and the fee is lower. I know remittance payments from places like US to Nepal is far easier than trying with normal banking options. Even Wise still takes days instead of minutes for some transactions.
