Ask HN: Share your favorite examples of shell script abuse 2 by ofalkaed | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have a real soft spot for shell scripts with no sense of reality, exercises in a beginners enthusiasm. Like many, shell scripting was my introduction into programming and after learning bash and making those few simple scripts I learned it for I wanted to use it for everything to exploit my new knowledge. All these years later seeing the overly ambitious shell script never fails to bring back the excitement of those early successes and return a sense of scope to my own projects when bogged down in the details with nothing yet to show for it all. So share your favorite abuses or just any that come to mind. I just came across bed, the bash editor [0], I was really expecting a complete nightmare and a massive script that barely functioned but was pleasantly surprised by how short and clean it is. Despite being essentially useless (beyond as an exercise) you could use it as an editor, I...

Brex Now Charging Foreign Transaction Fees 2 by kennethologist | 0 comments on Hacker News. A few of my clients are Brex customers and having a meeting with one this morning revealed that Brex is now charging up to 3% on foreign charges. Haven't seen anything official from the company. So just a heads up for any Brex customers who do business in foreign (non-US) countries know that you'll get charge 3% going forward.

Ask HN: How do you plan on protecting yourself from being replaced by AIs? 4 by FrenchDevRemote | 7 comments on Hacker News. I know, I know, coders aren't getting replaced by AIs...for now, given the exponential rate at which AI is progressing, I'm getting kind of worried about my employability in let's say, 5 years or something. What would you learn right now to make yourself future proof? I'm a fullstack web dev, and a bit of a jack of all trades, I'm not sure about which path to follow, I have a basic knowledge of how a few AI algorithms works(nothing really advanced but still more than 99% of people, which isn't really a good benchmark but whatever), I don't know anything besides tech, and if our jobs get automated away, I frankly don't know what I'll do.(maybe I'll just hope I'll have enough money to buy a lodge and a piece of land by then lol)

How to get started learning modern AI? 6 by gofaifan | 3 comments on Hacker News. Neural networks! Bah! If I wanted a black box design that I don't understand, I would make one! I want rules and symbolic processing that offers repeatable results and expected outcomes! ...and maybe there's still a place for that. But for someone who has been possibly foolish and ignoring neural network-oriented AI, where's the best place to start learning? Go back to the basics of recurrent neural networks, deep learning texts, and so forth? Or is there a shortcut into the hip and popular transformer-based technology at this point?

Ask HN: Startup Domicile in 2023? 2 by tjstebbing | 2 comments on Hacker News. I'm an Aussie, and looking to launch a new startup in the next month. 12 months ago I would have opened a Delaware but the global economy is techtonically shifting with the rise of the Yuan, and overinflated USD. I think I need to seriously consider if anything attached strongly to the US or China is a wise move right now. Nationalistic hats-off if possible, where are the best places to domicile a new startup in the current climate?

Canonical recently announced that it will no longer ship Flatpak as part of its default installation for the various official Ubuntu flavors , which is in keeping with the practices of the core Ubuntu distribution. The Flatpak package format has gained popularity among Linux users for its convenience and ease of use. Canonical will focus exclusively on its own package-management system, Snap . The decision has caused disgruntlement among some community members, who felt like the distribution was making this decision without regard for its users. from LWN.net https://ift.tt/bE2L8tP via IFTTT

Hi HN! I was feeling incredibly frustrated with my struggles in context-switching and writing documentation, so I decided to take action and find a solution. I wrote a simple tool for Alfred and Raycast that helps me be more mindful when switching between tasks, which can even prevent some of those switches. Plus, I can jot down quick notes on each task as I go, making it easier to document everything once I’m finished. This tool is really simple with only 5 commands - tsr, tsn, tsl, tsv, tse tsr writes a new record tsn writes a new note tsl shows you the current task tsv builds a static html page displaying a single timeline of the tasks and notes tse opens the directory where records are stored for easy manual editing TSR stores your data as simple csv files in ~/tsr, making it super easy to integrate with other tools or perform your own custom analysis and visualisation magic. The built-in tsv timeline visualisation is rather simple and doesn’t do any analysis (for now at least). It...

Tell HN: Airbnb can charge you anything and there is nothing you can do about it 5 by tomas789 | 2 comments on Hacker News. As a part time digital nomad, I use AirBnB quite oftern. It just happened to me that something broke during our stay. Host submited a claim to AirBnB about that (which is Ok) and they included a few other supposedly broken things. Fortunately I took some pictures before departure. I submited those to AirBnB as part of the mediation process they have. So far so good. And the result? A single person reviewed the case and concluded that I should pay for everything. I asked them to review it again as they probably missed that picture. The response was that I agree in T&C that their decision is final and they will not be reviewing again. I asked to escalate the issue but the answer (from the same person who reviewed it) was the same. I understand they have to draw the line somewhere but a single person deciding whether you need to pay something without any way of ...

Matthew Garrett looks at the recent disclosure of GitHub's private host key, how it probably came about, and what a better approach to key management might look like. The main problem is that client tooling just doesn't handle this well. OpenSSH has no way to do TOFU for CAs, just the keys themselves. This means there's no way to do a git clone ssh://git@github.com/ whatever and get a prompt asking you to trust Github's CA. Instead, you need to add a @cert-authority github.com (key) line to your known_hosts file by hand, and since approximately nobody's going to do that there's only marginal benefit in going to the effort to implement this infrastructure. The most important thing we can do to improve the security of the SSH ecosystem is to make it easier to use certificates, and that means improving the behaviour of the clients. from LWN.net https://ift.tt/IcZk5GW via IFTTT

What creative uses can you come up with for your old Android phone that is now new again, given that you already have a newer phone for your regular use?

Hey there HN! We're Esteban and Esteban and we are looking to get feedback for the new version of our GPT-powered, open-source code contextualizer. We're starting with a VS Code extension that indexes information from git (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket integrations available), Slack and Jira to explain the context around a file or block of code. Finally, we summarize such aggregated context using the power of GPT. As devs we know that it's very annoying to look at a new codebase and start understanding all the nuances, particularly when the person who wrote the code already left the company. With this problem in mind, we decided to build this solution. You'll be able to get into "the ghost" of the person who left the company. Soon, we will also be building a GitHub Action that does the same thing as the VS Code extension but at the time of creating a PR: Index the most relevant information related to this new PR, and add it as a comment. This way we will provid...

Hello, I was running around Germany, hectically navigating public transportation, and getting lost all the time. I noticed that every station had i platforms, each used lists of n buses (trains, whatever) arriving, each has their list of m destinations. That means I would be scanning i x n x m items just to see if I was at the correct stop. As I was nervous, for every bus that arrived, I would rescan the list of stops to double check. I began thinking how I could make a better system. Linked is a very shoddy mockup of how bloom filters could be used to allow passengers O(1) lookup time for which platform+bus is the correct one. I believe it's likely for public transportation to grow increasingly more complex in the future, as population grows, and under the current list-based system, this will make the signage ever more complex. I think some bloom filter mechanism could reduce that complexity. So, here is my fantasy, my day dream. What do you think? Comments URL: https://news.ycomb...

Ask HN: Resources for Fluency with Pandas? 2 by PaulHoule | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm bringing this up now because I've talked to other people who have the same problem. When I have a question about python I know how to look up the answer quickly in the manual. With pandas I am not so fluent and find myself using Google or Stackoverflow to look for answers which I think is a source of errors and waste of time. Also I work sporadically with pandas so once I get one data analysis project done I don't really consolidate the experience and come back feeling like a fresher a few months later. Architecturally I don't find Pandas strange, that is, I understand the benefits of column oriented processing (and learned that people who fund data analysis startups don't want to fund anything else,) so it's not strange to me that you're supposed to build a dataframe a column at a time as opposed to row at a time. Still, I find that the "pandas way" of doin...

Hi! My employer recently announced a 10% pay cut across the board. Where I live(South Africa), employee consent is required. The company sent out a document asking us to sign in agreement. ---- This is the state of things now: * Company laid an unknown number of employees off, and laid them off without letting employees know until a week later in a meeting where they announced pay cuts * The company is pretty much full remote and the office is a nice-to-have. It is in a very expensive part of town. * Lunches once a week are catered at the office * I asked what happens if one were not to sign, and the response was "Oh, we haven't thought about that. We're hoping that everyone pulls together." * The situation will be reviewed quarterly * Company says they don't expect it to last very long, also citing this for why they kept the office ---- A few things stand out to me and feel like red flags, namely: * They chose to cut salaries rather than cut the office rent and c...

Ask HN: Why doesn't OpenAI care more about ChatGPT's UX? 3 by fdeage | 1 comments on Hacker News. Like many people here, I have been using ChatGPT almost since its launch. Considering the massive adoption, I am a bit surprised that the interface hasn't evolved one bit in 3 months.

These are two products from the same company, asking twice for my CC number. - Why do I have to refresh my page manually every time something went wrong? Couldn't the page either refresh itself or recreate a clean connexion? - Why isn't there a "log in" button from OpenAI's landing page, plus a SSO detecting that I am already connected and linking (for instance) to my account, the products I use, etc.? - Why are their URLs so confusing?

Ask HN: Is Bootstrap still used in new projects? 4 by georgel | 1 comments on Hacker News. I've been a heavy user of Bootstrap since the beginning a decade or so ago, and I still use it to spin up my hobby projects. Have people moved on to other frameworks or is it still heavily used?

CVE-2023-21036: The Acropalypse 6 by ColinWright | 1 comments on Hacker News. Apparently for 5+ years the cropping / editing tools for screenshots on Google Pixel phones was only overwriting the start of the screenshot PNG file, but not truncating. All screenshots shared for the past 5+ years might have data recoverable from them. Demo available at https://ift.tt/3EMyJnp Google still hasn't communicated anything on this.

Tell HN: Apple Subscription Trials 3 by noncoml | 1 comments on Hacker News. A bit of unfair practice from Apple that I thought to bring to HN attention. Normally when you get a trial on a subscription for any third party app/service, you still have access to it until the end of trial period, even if you cancel the subscription. For Apple services however, like Apple TV, your trial period ends immediately and you lose access as soon as you cancel the subscription.

Ask HN: Roast My Startup 2 by vbond | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN Been working on this really hard for quite some time. Need a reality check. Remindful is an external memory for people with busy lives. It's like an endless notebook where you can get instant answers about anything you have stored. It works in messenger apps like Whatsapp. I'm guessing this is in the category of "Productivity Apps", the closest competitors seems to be apps like Evernote. If you use something like Evernote - at some point it becomes really hard to find stuff, you need to start categorizing, creating folders or labels, etc... With Remindful you don't have to categorize and search, just ask questions. This is the main differentiator. Would this be too far out for people to understand? Website: https://remindful.ai/

Ask HN: Will the coming GPT revolution require significantly more energy? 5 by beepbooptheory | 7 comments on Hacker News. Just something I am thinking about, wondering if we can even know. If we completely replaced and/or augmented, e.g., web search with GPT(-like) models, would there be substantially more energy needed in order to sustain this? (Or less, or about the same?)

Tell Hacker News: Pipl.com Silently adds a $500 monthly minimum for API Use 2 by zeronight | 0 comments on Hacker News. I got email from Pipl support to re-check my use case and ensure it is inline with their acceptable use policy [1], after explaining what I used the product for they dropped this in the same email thread with no other context. >Thank you for providing that information! I do want to advise that there is now a $500 monthly minimum in place for all of our API customers. If you do not perform the required number of queries each month to bring you to the $500 threshold, you will still be charged the full $500. If you are okay with this, we can accept a written consent over email and I will have our billing team put that minimum in place so you can continue to use our API. They used to have no minimum and you would be billed per use monthly. It looks like they have removed all mention of pricing from there website as well. You can see other sites have captured the price...

Ask HN: Can I stop OpenAI from using my website data as training data? 7 by nutanc | 1 comments on Hacker News. So OpenAI says that we cant use the data generated by OpenAI API to train competing models. Can I have a similar ToS for my website so that I don't allow OpenAI to train on my website data for the next versions of GPT?

Using rules as code to help bridge the gaps between policy creation, its implementation, and its, often unintended, effects on people was the subject of a talk by Pia Andrews on the first day of the inaugural Everything Open conference in Melbourne, Australia. She has long been exploring the space of open government, and her talk was a report on what she and others have been working on over the last seven years. Everything Open is the successor to the long-running, well-regarded linux.conf.au (LCA); Andrews (then Pia Waugh) gave the opening keynote at LCA 2017 in Hobart, Tasmania, and helped organize the 2007 event in Sydney. from LWN.net https://ift.tt/L1xfhMZ via IFTTT

Ask HN: Anyone else noticed the media's push to label websites as “platforms”? 3 by qzx_pierri | 1 comments on Hacker News. Sometime within the past 5 years, the term "platform" has been used by the media and other public figures endlessly when referring to websites, and I don't understand why. Is this another way for advertisers and their collaborators to further lock down the web and mute its approachable nature? It's not exactly a secret that, when discussing web connected functionalities, there has been a consistent effort throughout the past decade to abstract away the underlying nature to the average person - This allows products to be sold to them that otherwise would have been reserved for enthusiast circles. Just as an example, let's look at "cloud storage". To the average person 10 years ago, paying $5 per month to get 100GB of storage on a dedicated server with shared hosting was completely outside of their understanding. But then comes t...

I'd say I started noticing it a couple of hours ago. Maybe it's because of so much stuff happening recently (OpenAI, FB layoffs etc) and the website not handling the load well?

Version 2.40.0 of the Git source-code management system is out. Changes include a new --merge-base option for merges, a built-in implementation of bisection, Emacs support for git jump , a fair number of smallish user-interface tweaks, and a lot of bug fixes.

Ask HN: How do I overcome hatred for product managers and solutions architects? 5 by a_broken_dev | 2 comments on Hacker News. I am hoping someone out there with more wisdom than me or more personal development that went through this same sort of issue and came out the other side better can help me get some perspective because this is really killing me... I'm just going to lay it out as best as I can, and please don't worry about offending me, if there's some cold hard truth I need to hear it's OK, just let me have it. I'm a software developer with about 15 years of experience with 70% of my background being in small companies and startups where my position was some form of "software dev" but I ended up doing the solutions architect work, interfacing with clients, working with the sales/owners, designing solutions, and implementing them too (with great success!). And I loved it, working with stakeholders and coming up with creative solutions really brings...
