IMO, this is much better than the status quo. Most programmers are terrible about writing clean code with good comments. I would much prefer this style over unreadable mess (especially if it’s a language/framework I’m not comfortable with).

But of course, it’s not an either-or. Ideally, I agree LLMs would provide slightly fewer comments.

Your comment seems to suggest that having a preference towards certain personality types is inherently wrong.

Oh, a fellow If Books Could Kill podcast listener?

It's unfortunate that truth is so hard to come by these days.

That was interesting. I also found Haidt’s response:

But remember, Apple’s fees are only in the iOS app. Your prices on the web and the Android app will remain completely unaffected. You can always send your fans to this Help Center article which explains the iOS in-app fees relative to other platforms, so they can better understand the implications of where they choose to make their purchases.

Thank you for posting this link, because I am a happy sway user and didn’t realize this existed. I plan to try it out. Have you used it?

I also went down this road recently, and discovered caddy-security, but I have security concerns [0]. Software always has vulnerabilities, but this was enough to scare me off. Something like keycloak or authentia seems more tested and secure.

Aerosolization of viruses via toilet flushing may be more impactful, compared with aerosolization of bacteria, given differences in response to humidity and in droplet size. Various studies have indicated that viruses retain viability at both low or high relative humidities and, therefore can remain infectious in droplet nuclei and other aerosols, which may stay suspended in the air for hours to days. Also, viruses are likely to aerosolize more easily than bacteria and 94% of virus has been shown to partition into liquid phase rather than solid phase.

How do you use GLT-4 frequently with how low the usage cap is?

Wow, this is really cool. The pricing is way above my budget, but I can see the market for a premium device like this- if it really does what it looks like it does. The “point and tell” demo is particularly amazing.

Great homepage, by the way- makes it very easy to tell what the robot can do (and I appreciated the FAQ).

The $75/month ($900/year) price tag is quite steep, but between the feature set, the intelligence built into the device, and the free repairs and replacements, I think this provides a lot of value for homeowners. I subscribed to your email list. Good luck!

Where can I follow your progress on this?

I am a sensitive sleeper and after waking up from loud sounds and roommates for a while, I got Loop Quiet earplugs (I wear the smallest size), and I’ve been wearing them every night. Occasionally I pull them out during my sleep but they stay in very well and are definitely effective. I sleep much better now. I would recommend them.

Per Go module repository, no?

Yes that’s correct. Typically there’s is a “flag” or a string of text that the hackers attempt to find.

Good companies have a bug bounty program where people can submit 0-days.

Fascinating. Care to share any puzzles?

I'm not sure how much this answers your question, but Congress put out a "EARN IT Act Myths and Facts" documents that contains the following text:

MYTH: The EARN IT Act is simply an attempt to ban encryption. FACT: The EARN IT Act does not target, limit, or create liability for encryption or privacy services. In fact, in order to ensure the EARN IT Act would not be misconstrued as limiting encryption, specific protections were included in the bill to explicitly state that a court should not consider offering encryption or privacy services as an independent basis for legal liability.

I'm not sure that's what the article is saying, and I certainly don't think it's "ridiculous". The relevant part:

In late January of 2021, he opened a file sent to him by a fellow hacker, who had described it as an exploitation tool. Just 24 hours later, he spotted a blog post from Google Threat Analysis Group warning that North Korean hackers were targeting security researchers. Sure enough, when P4x scrutinized the hacking tool he'd received from a stranger, he saw that it contained a backdoor designed to provide a remote foothold on his computer. P4x had opened the file in a virtual machine, digitally quarantining it from the rest of his system. But he was nonetheless shocked and appalled by the realization that he'd been personally targeted by North Korea.

The article specifically states he received it "from a stranger", not a friend, which suggests that he was indeed personally targeted. Yes, it does say "fellow hacker", but again this is obviously not someone he knows because it's a "stranger".

I guess it comes down to your definition of "personally targeted". Sure, this isn't a spearphishing campaign, but according to Google's blog writeup about these events [1], they basically targeted individual researchers:

The actors have been observed targeting specific security researchers by a novel social engineering method. After establishing initial communications, the actors would ask the targeted researcher if they wanted to collaborate on vulnerability research together...

Are there any iOS app-based solutions for dealing with YouTube ads? The app you mentioned (YouTube++) appears to require a jailbroken iPhone. I've read that AdGuard Pro can work with mobile Safari YouTube ads, but I'm curious about an app solution. Seems like there's plenty of stuff out there for Android.

It doesn't appear that the Obsidian devs have any plans to open source the project [1]

A requirement for changing habits is changing the physical world.

James Clear talks about this in Atomic Habits [0][1], explaining that to break a bad habit, you must invert the first law of good habits ("Make it Obvious") so that the bad habit is "invisible". To do this, as you say, you must change your environment: "Reduce exposure. Remove the cues of your bad habits from your environment."

[0] This Atomic Habits summary was posted on HN recently: https://www.chrisbehan.ca/posts/atomic-habits [1] https://s3.amazonaws.com/jamesclear/Atomic+Habits/Habits+Che...

Excellent content, this stuff is life-changing. I haven't read Atomic Habits but it was on my reading list. It appears based on other comments that the full read is mostly unnecessary compared to a summary like this or the one at the end of the book.

However, it's hard to learn without spending time committing content to memory, which reading a book does well due to the apparent large amount of filler content. Perhaps re-reading a summary multiple times can have a similar effect.

I was expecting financial advice in the post but there wasn't any.

Sorry, but that's just false. This article contained specific points of advice, a lot of which is parroted by most financially competent people, but not all. Here's a few takeaways I noticed:

avoid accelerating your hedonic treadmill, and save that money instead

Invest your money. Do not let it sit idle in a bank.

My own investment portfolio has consisted entirely of US equity (VTI), Developed Countries (VEA) and Emerging Markets (VWO). In recent years, I’ve also added real-estate (REET) to the mix. My exact allocations have varied, but I’ve generally invested an equal amount in each of the above. If you’re more risk averse, add a bond fund (BND) to your portfolio

Do not try to time the market or pick winners and losers. On average, these are both losing strategies.

You should strongly consider interviewing elsewhere every ~3 years... Practicing your interview skills is the best financial investment you can make.

I’ve heard many people say you should ignore equity and only look at base salary in a job offer. This is poor advice – always look at the total compensation, not any one piece of it.

Tell recruiters what compensation you’re expecting, not what you’re currently making. As a rule of thumb, whenever I switch jobs, I expect a 30% compensation increase. Anything less than 20%, I would recommend waiting for something better to come along.

Another happy user here. Easy to set up, never have any problems.

For anyone else wondering, the article seems to suggest that it's not Google donating, but the employees:

From 2004 to 2017, $15 million donated by employees of Google and its related companies went to Democrats, and just $1.6 million went to Republicans. Alphabet was created in 2015 as an umbrella company for these companies.

The article's source [1] verifies that the data is about the companies' employees, not the companies themselves.

The PDF reads (pg. 62):

In addition, the Google Drive website, the Google Drive mobile application, and the Google Drive Terms and Privacy policy all failed to disclose to users that Google as a third party had access to their WhatsApp communications. The Google Drive terms of service at the time even permitted Google the ability to use its access to users’ private WhatsApp communications in Google Drive to sell advertising.

The last sentence suggests that yes, Google could have analyzed your uploads to serve you targeted ads.

The addendum appears for me.

Wow, what an incredible video and showcase. This really puts GPT-3's power into perspective. I can't wait till the public has access to something that powerful- or maybe I should enjoy not receiving GPT-3 phishing emails in my inbox.

I read the beginning of this C guide and also found it very helpful and made things very easy to understand (coming from C++). Thanks!

Hey- it's so cool to re-connect after these couple years! I was also pleased to see this... it wasn't even me that posted it! I'll update my README to link to your new URL- thanks for linking to my projects!
