jasonladuke0311··on San Francisco considers allowing law enforcement robots to use lethal force
Haha interesting perspective.
jasonladuke0311··on San Francisco considers allowing law enforcement robots to use lethal force
Yeah this happened in the Dallas police shooting a few years back. The suspect was holed up in a parking structure so they sent a bomb disposal robot with a bomb attached and blew the dude up.
jasonladuke0311··on The Balenciaga Controversy
Denma Gvisalia is a hack. His popularity in high fashion is analogous to those jokes you hear about someone taking a shit on a table and calling it modern art.
jasonladuke0311··on Ask HN: What Keeps You on FB?
Yeah but it only gives you lower-res photos. I want the highest quality versions.
jasonladuke0311··on Ask HN: What Keeps You on FB?
I have no idea. I suspended my account years ago, but re-activated when I interviewed with FB. I figured it would be difficult to acceptably explain why I wanted to work there if I didn’t use FB. I need to write a script to download all of my pictures and then delete my account.
jasonladuke0311··on Show HN: I'm building the Costco for apparel
> Their premise was "we figure out where the luxury stuff is made and then make our white labeled stuff there without the markup" and (at least originally) charge an annual membership fee for access.

"Luxury" stuff, even t-shirts, are generally "cut and sew"[0] and not made with sourceable blanks. So I assume they were being a little weaselly with the word "luxury".

jasonladuke0311··on Researchers quietly cracked Zeppelin ransomware keys
It's a very dark but interesting calculus.
jasonladuke0311··on Show HN: I'm building the Costco for apparel
I presume you are just selling blanks, LA Apparel/Comfort Colors/whatever?
jasonladuke0311··on My ADHD founder toolbox
> Some of the time I read tech people’s ADHD experience and I feel so… understood. Like, are you me? You could be me.

Exactly what I thought reading this post :D

Strangely enough, I applied at your firm and we have traded emails.

jasonladuke0311··on Mom handcuffed, jailed for 8-year-old son walking half a mile
Yeah no shit. There are numerous videos on Instagram of teens literally being physically assaulted by 50-70 year old "adults" for skateboarding.
jasonladuke0311··on Where has the passive radar code gone?
> ITAR limits all kinds of things mostly arbitrarily.

Yep and it’s incredibly broad. I used to work in one of those shooting ranges in Vegas where tourists go to shoot machine guns. We were told that anything more than “barrel pointed this way, this is the trigger” with a foreign national (which were a LOT of customers) could be construed as “training” and thus a potential ITAR violation.

jasonladuke0311··on Where has the passive radar code gone?
Shoegaze is known for lots of distortion, so I presume this would be pretty high?
jasonladuke0311··on Launch HN: Shimmer (YC S21) – ADHD coaching for adults
> In my case the issue is that despite having a growth mindset for learning pretty much anything, in the case of ADHD stuff I've been trying for so long to fix myself that it feels like I'll never be able to.

Oh man this hits too close

jasonladuke0311··on Launch HN: Shimmer (YC S21) – ADHD coaching for adults
Same here. I think there is a natural undercurrent of skepticism on HN, a lot of which is well-deserved.

The ROI of this could be tremendous for someone in tech. If this helps you get your shit together enough to be promoted a cycle early, for example, or find a new job, it could be a bargain.

jasonladuke0311··on We've filed a lawsuit against GitHub Copilot
Merits of the case aside, I'm befuddled that a company with a legal team like Microsoft approved this product. Is their assumption that this would bring in more revenue than potentially defending it in court? The math doesn't make sense to me.
jasonladuke0311··on Ask HN: What can I personally do to fight AGAINST the Copilot class action?
Even with a shallow clone, I'm curious what percentage of repos this would hold.
jasonladuke0311··on Patch OpenSSL on November 1 to avoid “critical” security vulnerability
I was gonna say - who's more likely to benefit from memory corruption bugs: the general populace, or the trillion-dollar military-intelligence complex?
jasonladuke0311··on Engineers should do customer support and success
Though my time in customer success was integral to my career trajectory,I disagree with the premise. I simply would not have gotten where I am (nothing impressive, I assure you) without that experience, but not everyone should have to go through that.
jasonladuke0311··on SiriSpy – iOS bug allowed apps to eavesdrop on your conversations with Siri
Legal where? I would wager the overwhelming majority of bug hunters are not in the US.
jasonladuke0311··on The link between August birthdays and ADHD (2018)
This largely mirrors my experience. You know how people talk about addiction, and how they are "drawn" to their poison, like by some force? The polar opposite of that is what I felt with homework. Like trying to push two identical magnetic poles together.
jasonladuke0311··on The smash and grab of Kroger-Albertsons
This would, I believe, make Kroger the only major grocer in the Denver area. I'm not counting Sprouts, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's as they are not very widespread.
jasonladuke0311··on John le Carré's private life, revealed in letters and a kiss-and-tell
His son (Nick Harkaway) is one of my favorite authors, and one of the best in SF right now.
jasonladuke0311··on Ghidra: Software reverse engineering suite developed by NSA
> This is a blue team tool used by reverse engineers to analyze malware

It's also a red team tool for binary exploitation.

EDIT: The cynic in me posits it was used far more for exploit development than for analyzing malware, unless that had offensive applications too. But I don't know anything, I never worked there.

jasonladuke0311··on Even after $100B, self-driving cars are going nowhere
Have you ever been to Denver? Houston? Jacksonville, Florida?
jasonladuke0311··on Early Cormac McCarthy Interviews Rediscovered
You should avoid House of Leaves at all costs.
jasonladuke0311··on Ken Thompson really did launch his "trusting trust" trojan attack in real life
That’s what you think now.
jasonladuke0311··on John Carmack on avoiding distractions
> Carmack talks about wrestling and then grappling which is an absolute grind.

I had no idea he was a wrestler. My oldest son and I train BJJ together and he finally got interested in high school wrestling after we did a standup seminar. I'm really happy as it tends to develop mental toughness better than any other sport.

jasonladuke0311··on John Carmack on avoiding distractions
> For example, people with ADHD become distractable if their task isn't sufficiently stimulating.

Yep. "Removing" distractions is a fools errand, because I am the Da Vinci of creating them. This is why I need structure.

jasonladuke0311··on Using the power of the sun to roast green chile
Hatch chilies really are the best. I’m sure part of it is the limited seasonal availability though.
jasonladuke0311··on An odd discovery on Spotify
Do you truly believe those situations are equivalent?
