dariusj18··on Meetings *are* the work
If anyone hasn't read Paul Graham's blog on it

http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html

dariusj18··on Neal Stephenson doesn't seem keen on crypto anymore
Well that *was* released after bitcoin was created
dariusj18··on Intuit pouring money into lobbying amid push for free government-run tax filing
And it's not just the "government shouldn't do it" crowd, there are also those that believe that profit motive makes it more efficient and costs less overall.
dariusj18··on Workers “know the truth” about the derailment, why are they being ignored?
I think this is what many people don't understand about unions. They are not supposed to be the "good guys". They are the counter balance to corporations, and if there is anything we have (re)learned over the last few decades, it's that you don't find the center by starting your negotiations from it. The system is off balance because competing interests are supposed to create an equitable center.
dariusj18··on The Social Experiment Is Over
My guess is a great number of d*ck pics
dariusj18··on ERs are hiring fewer doctors to save money
Let's do the same for housing
dariusj18··on Military unable to determine how the objects were kept aloft
When it concerns this kind of stuff, government secrecy is very important. Anything the military says gives intelligence to anyone listening.
dariusj18··on De-Bloated Windows 11 Build Runs on 2GB of RAM
Because a long time ago Microsoft lost a lawsuit when they tried making the web and Windows more integrated
dariusj18··on Colombian judge used ChatGPT to make court decision
If they just use your questions as further training data, the information you send to them might make it into other people's hands.
dariusj18··on Google testing ChatGPT-like chatbot 'Apprentice Bard' with employees
I just used to it write a function for me yesterday. I had previously googled a few times and came up dry, asked Chat GPT and it came out with a solution I had not considered, and was better than what I was thinking.
dariusj18··on State of JavaScript 2022
When using typescript, unit testing needs are few and far between.
dariusj18··on Ask HN: What $500-2500 product improved your 2022
I had not considered that this kind of technology would exist. Very cool.
dariusj18··on Microfeatures I'd like to see in more languages
That's actually a great point. Perl has so many syntactic sugars that it is a poster child for too much variety in ways you can write things. Making it much harder to read someone else's code.
dariusj18··on Microsoft Bing AI Image Creator
They licensed GPT3 exclusively

dariusj18··on Bitcoin core developer claims to have lost 200 BTC in hack
I imagine due to the transparency that is blockchain, you could create a regulatory system that refused payments from certain wallets as well. ex. This person sent $100 to BLM, make sure not to sell to him Nike.
dariusj18··on Hydroxychloroquine lowers Alzheimer's disease and related dementias risk
Or someone has a lot in stock and wants to offload it ;)
dariusj18··on Show HN: Portable Secret – How I store my secrets and communicate privately
The repo was just a quick example of how one would use a rainbow table to crack the password. Yes, the fact that it only generates a simple rainbow table means that it isn't the holy grail to the exercise, but the idea of a rainbow table is that someones out there have already been running and generating a rainbow table for many years.
dariusj18··on Show HN: Portable Secret – How I store my secrets and communicate privately
Yeah, plus they even give hints to the password complexity, so unless that is a red herring, this should be pretty simple to crack, if not CPU consuming.

Just combine https://github.com/mejdoubi/rainbow-table and their algorithm together. It would probably take me a few hours to put together, but for someone who is very familiar with cryptography, it would be minimal work.

dariusj18··on Show HN: Portable Secret – How I store my secrets and communicate privately
if you've got to communicate the decryption key separately anyway, might as well just use password protected zip files, no?
dariusj18··on Devpod: Remote development environment at Uber
The thin terminal possibilities that Java was working on solving was exciting back in the day.
dariusj18··on Twitter has re-suspended ElonJet account
Sigint not his specialty
dariusj18··on Japan’s Jimi ‘Mundane’ Halloween Costumes of 2022
I felt seen
dariusj18··on A homework question in someone’s 11th grade statistics class
> This is sending a message that statistics is more like social science than like math

I think the real issue at hand is this question belongs in a sociology class, not a statistics class.

dariusj18··on Eli Lilly CEO says insulin tweet flap “probably” signals need to bring down cost
The entire healthcare industry is all based on inflated numbers. Doctors have to charge $100 to get $10 from the insurance company, hospitals charge $1,000 and then accept $100 and write the rest off as "losses" so they can tweak the books in other areas.
dariusj18··on Mom handcuffed, jailed for 8-year-old son walking half a mile
2 months later when something happens to the kid this entire thing will get replayed in the media and everyone that didn't do anything will be made out to be a villain.
dariusj18··on Mom handcuffed, jailed for 8-year-old son walking half a mile
No one wants to be the weak link that gets their name blasted in newspapers when a kid gets harmed. Not that it would really be their fault, but the incentives are obvious to "play it safe".
dariusj18··on Tell HN: Employers are not desperate to hire developers
That is the case when hiring entry level and junior, but a senior level should be able to hit the ground running on at least one part of the job requirement.
dariusj18··on Eli Lilly pulls millions in Twitter advertising after fake account debacle
Not difficult to claim parody protection
dariusj18··on Tell HN: Employers are not desperate to hire developers
My experience is it's impossible to find people who's experience actually matches their resume.
dariusj18··on Mild autumn weather has sent European gas prices plummeting
Ukraine seems to be the odd one out, this is not a surprise of course, but it could at least be good, they have the opportunity to buy the gas at the bargain rates.
