nanidin··on Bytecode Breakdown: Unraveling Factorio's Lua Security Flaws
In this case someone generated malicious bytecode that the JIT compiler would not generate.

I would argue JIT is dangerous because it requires dynamic memory without the NX bit set, so if you manage to smash the stack (find an exploit) you can execute arbitrary code easily (leverage the exploit). That's a different dangerous than running malicious bytecode.

nanidin··on Employees who stay in companies longer than two years get paid 50% less (2014)
Can you clarify on the "invasive examination of your finances"?

In my experience, when you apply on healthcare.gov, you simply enter your estimated income for the year you're applying - that's it, and you get the subsidy. Then when you file your taxes for that year, you either get more subsidy as a credit, or pay some back depending on whether you came in above or below the estimate you provided on the application.

nanidin··on Cardio fitness is a strong, consistent predictor of morbidity and mortality
Does Apple get your cardio data? It's my understanding is that is encrypted, even when it goes to iCloud for backup.
nanidin··on Cardio fitness is a strong, consistent predictor of morbidity and mortality
Mine swings around as well, and I attribute it to the fact that Apple only uses Outdoor Walk, Outdoor Run, and Hiking to estimate VO2Max. Mine trends down in the winter months when most of my intense cardio is happening indoors on the treadmill or elliptical machine, and most of my outdoor activities are leisurely walks with the dog in poor conditions.

nanidin··on Cardio fitness is a strong, consistent predictor of morbidity and mortality
According to Apple[0] it is only after the specific activities of: Outdoor Walk, Outdoor Run, and Hiking. Which explains why my estimated VO2 max goes down significantly in the winter months when I'm mainly doing cardio indoors and only taking leisurely walks with the dog outdoors.

nanidin··on Show HN: Talk to Me Human – my game about social persuasion
I would love to see a VR "game" where it's possible to level up social skills via LLM backend. There are some prompt engineers on reddit that have come up with great prompts, but there is definitely a niche for making a seamless product for people to practice being in uncomfortable situations.

If anyone is interested in working together, reply. I started working with TTS, ASR, and LLM API's because this piqued my curiosity after attending a few meetups and going in "cold" without much social interaction before the meeting. I imagine a proper app could give people superpowers.
