When I was a child, visiting other families was a highlight. Sometimes it was family, sometimes it was friends of my parents. We'd pack everyone in the car, drive to someone else's house (different! better!), and have piles of fun with the other kids. Plus dinner! Next time they'd come to our house!

My sisters and I knew all these other kids, because our parents had all been socializing for as long as we'd been alive.

Good news, "introvert"! Your side won. I hope the dusty walls and ragged headphone cushions stay comfortable. If not, you can replace them with one click.

Does this mean the industry is now able to clean up the underfunded environmental disasters they created in the Gulf of Mexico?

Oh, right.

Yep. Lots of money-ish examples.

Unauthorized removal of bitcoin from a wallet, depositing into another?

I think these four people want to be in a smaller organization. It's more fun.

Good, realistic take. There's a lot of context that can be drawn on to make better decisions and look for weird.

And then agents come along and some people want their agent to be able to do anything they can do with zero friction. That usually lasts until the first time something goes wrong ;)

Agreed; I don't think we want security controls to devolve into an argument between LLMs. Attacking and defending LLMs operate in an ecosystem, and are (hopefully) limited by constraints. Defending LLMs will be able to rely on and evolve those constraints. Attacking LLMs want to find a way around them.

+1000, and the role of non-deterministic security is to compose deterministic security primitives.

Deterministic executes fast and you know what it will do. You want to evolve your ground truth, not hope for the best.

That said, there is a role for probabilistic elements in the security model...as bait and signal.

- Liability - What can you really fit in HW4? - No right answers in many situations. - But mostly liability. It's pretty good.

You're highly critical. What would you be doing differently? So far Tridge has elected to:

- generally decide to fix security issues over preserving compatibility - rewritten an aging test suite in what appears to be a highly responsible way - brought on additional qualified developers to help with the workload

Not bad for a guy who's retired.

You care enough to complain on HN. You could be a part of the solution.

What were you going to do differently, specifically?

Yeah, we definitely need to make sure that we take the considerations of the mob into account.

The person owning the project is using the master branch in the way he sees fit.

Incidentally, there is no amount of communicating "correctly" that quells a mob. There's a Venn diagram of concerns, and those with concerns not being met will generate (now infinite) outrage.

I recommend "How to measure anything in cybersecurity risk". Really interesting read about putting actual value on security.

I'm truly hopeful that AI will open a new of prototyping. Back in the day, prototyping was how you figured out what to build, you'd very deliberately toss the entire first (or second!) version, and you'd plan to do that.

High quality ensued. Usually ;)

I think that subscribing to another person's life prevents you from living your own. Also, "Everything is Lies, I Guess".

For me it's been useful as an idea categorizer: "oh well, that turned out to be a crap idea."

It's allowed me to clear out some long-standing brush on the forest floor. And burn it down once or twice.

Quoting:

"Because the effort was removed, so was the commitment, and with the commitment the focus, and with the focus any meaningful product at all."

This is the truth. Otherwise known as "easy come, easy go".

This is an excellent pattern; do as much as you can in the database.

External Spanner provides changes streams. Internal spanner is different, mostly because of the extreme scaling requirements in some cases (and a healthy dose of "because it already works" mixed with "arbitrary change streams are scary").

Internal Spanner allows any transaction to write queue entries, where queues are (more or less) tables with some special time awareness. You can schedule delivery. Entries get pushed from queues to a handler which can also do writes to the DB within the dequeue transaction. And all of the same scaling is there.

Yes, you are reading too much into things. The ultrawealthy are supporting the current MAGA nonsense because they wish to permanently lock up the massive wealth transfer they've engineered over the past two decades, and the only way to do that is through a combination of nationalism, populism, and fascism.

Every part of the MAGA platform is a smokescreen of outrage, intended as cover for policies that favor the ultrawealthy.

An aware and motivated population legislates and taxes their way out of the establishment and perpetuation of dynasties; this has been done in the past.

If you live in a Red State, it is highly like that my Blue State money pays for your health care, highways, narcan, and a myriad of other transfers.

Like, I feel for you and your situation, but I just don't think it's sustainable for Blue States to keep being patsies by letting the Red States control what happens with Blue State money.

I have a habit of upvoting attempts at civilized argument, so I upvote once again.

For the "people who understand supply/demand", why use "want a limit" language? What you actually mean is "want a lower limit, from Y to X".

It's flat-out amazing to me that you blame immigrants for the problems of the American medical system -- which are entirely political in cause and financial in nature.

Stop with your logic, please. Obviously they must complete American Nationalism training, readily available in whatever country they come from, which they can learn from Voice of America.

I cannot understand why people downvote otherwise civilized posts they disagree with, so I'll upvote.

That said, you are impressively wrong. If someone doesn't agree with me because they choose to believe obviously false or made-up data, that is being irrational.

Is it rational to suppress large-scale studies of vaccination? If someone says "I am against vaccination because there are no large-scale studies", is that rational?

Well, the first thing the "new" antigravity did was f^&* up all of my existing projects by replicating them (with one replica per conversation within each project). That's really bad.

I now have 45+ projects pointing at a the same 5-7 folders (the actual projects). Can I delete those extra projects? The warnings are sure telling me not to.

Like aphyr?

Gun deaths in the US are just the cost of doing business, and business is booming (for some).

Sad.

One person who spent 15 years learning and building in the domain. He very much knows what he's doing, what questions to ask, and what machines do.

Every child reads a book about solving problems, assumes they can now solve problems, and is disappointed when that is not true.

If you write your own paper (mostly) and choose your own references (because you've actually read the papers) you won't have a problem.

This puts the burden to make sure it's right on the submitter, where it should be. Verification can come at any time after that; the submitter understands the consequences of hallucinated references. Verification can be crowd-sourced (and likely will be).

Nothing stops someone from putting a PDF on the internet. I'm fine with ArXiv holding a high standard.

Not sure where the nefarious is in that. That's how PKI works.
