I wasn't thinking about second factory actually (unfortunately I can't easily express my ideas in English, I haven't made it clear enough). The barcode would make a first (and only) factor. Of course username/password would stay there for backwards compatibility.

Once again, I'll try to express myself more clearly:

- we show a username/password input boxes and 2d barcode (QR/datamatrix);

- the user may simply enter his username/password and then everything works your way;

- he may also choose to use some kind of password manager that is compatible with this protocol;

- in this case we encode some data in the barcode (it could be some login URL, e.g. https://example.com/srp/yourservice.com/?nonce=some_random_n...);

- this password manager scans the code and performs full SRP authentication on the above URL; if it's successful we simply send some kind of notification to your service - or you poll our service for the result;

- we check the result on the actual login page as well (e.g. using AJAX): we may simply poll some other URL, like: https://example.com/srp/yourservice.com/result/?nonce=the_sa... (of cource results signing/etc. comes into play here);

- if the result is OK we simply set session data in the cookie as usual and from now on the user is authenticated;

This has additional advantage of the actual crypto going on in the password manager and on the server. It also gives the possibility to perform the sign-up process semi-automatically as well (think of password generation - the user doesn't have to know it at all). And then think of public wifi or other networks you don't trust: you may perform the auth via GSM using your mobile. But the biggest improvement, in my opinion, is the usability aspect. You could have your password manager lying in the background and when you are shown a login page you could simply double-click an icon in your tray area and you are immediately logged into the app. Or you could use password manager on your mobile phone to take a shot with its camera.

I hope this time it's clearer.
Well, it's not exactly random. If you follow the link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phorkie/

You can see it's the source code for the same sort of paste text online site they are banning all over the place in the other bans. It seems kind of nuts to ban all source code hosting and clipboard type hosting sites, but clearly they are trying. Wonder what's next, blogs that allow posting comments or signing guestbooks?
From the short stories, you might start with the following:

The Thousand Dreams of Stellavista, The 60 Minute Zoom, The Secret History of World War 3, The Intensive Care Unit, The Gioconda of the Twilight Noon

The novella, Running Wild, might be a good place to start.

With his novels, I would read the big three from the 70's (Crash!, Concrete Island, High Rise), and then maybe the two best of his latter period (Cocaine Nights, Super-Cannes).
That makes no sense. Conservative groups are all about outsourcing. "dey took'r jeebs" groups are complaining about immigrants in the US.
Why would they have any incentive to contact you? From their perspective the problem is solved -- the material offending statist is out of sight, out of mind. You're the one who wants a different situation to exist. Governments aren't in the customer service business.
Only slightly related but it seems Google has also become very bad at filtering spam too? I keep getting agency spam from Indian companies, all with very similar characteristics (HTML emails for IT jobs in the US, where I don't live, from Indian companies). I marked hundreds of them as spam, and even a basic bayesian filter would be able to easily filter this but somehow gmail let it all go through.
Apparently influxdb would take 11x the storage of prometheus's approach: http://prometheus.github.io/docs/introduction/comparison/#pr...
Probably insurers don't have enough cryptography expertise have a hard time quantifying the difference between the two types, pricing all insured Bitcoin types in a similar way.
Kinda. It would be nicer to limit permissions on a per-"application" level, requiring one-time explicit grants from the user, kinda like how a lot of platforms already do it (web browsers, Android APK, etc).
For best performance please use Firefox
You're holding your phone wrong, mate.
They don't get a say until they live there. Future residents have zero representation.
Unless you tied it to the exact areas of the codebase somehow, finding specific information about the code in video form would be hard.

Plus, for myself, I don't know how many times I've seen a piece of cryptic code written by some prodigy who left the company years ago. It would take a lot of effort to get documentation around these scenarios.

Instead, it would be easier to get a company to get on board with adopting proactive documentation practices. This doesn't necessarily mean explicitly writing technical documentation, either. It can be implicit.

Some companies that I worked for in the past would have policies around how work would be completed. A big thing they did would ensure that all of our work had tickets associated with them and that all branches were named after the tickets. This made it trivial to blame a line of code and start digging into not just who made it or when, but also why. I could see what other tickets were related to it to find out a lot of valuable contextual information, sometimes even for code that was implemented years before I showed up.
Now I can see how $7500/mo might make sense.
Sure, as a badass SSH machine, it works great for deep learning... when SSH'd to a server with NVIDIA cards.

Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore my M1 MacBook Air. It's so good that it I've kept my i7+2080+32GB RAM desktop turned off for weeks now (outside of gaming). My 8GB M1 MacBook Air is now my main work computer, and it's spectacular.

That said, the basic MNIST timing benchmarks are decent, but don't get your hopes up for anything more anytime soon. There's simply no way in hell today's M1 SoC can train much, much bigger & complex models than hardcore systems with beefy GPUs with 12+ GB RAM on each card.

So no, today, the M1 MacBook Airs/Pros are not really good for DL. And honestly, that's fine. Maybe Apple will compete with NVIDIA down the road, and I'd be happy to see that. But I'm glad the author came to the (correct) conclusion that M1s just aren't anywhere near there yet for anything more than basic DL.

Edit: that all said, there might be an interesting use case for M1 Mac Minis as edge inferencing nodes.
When the bought PA semi they were nowhere near the size they are now.

All that happened is that Apple made better investments than their potential competitors.
Hey, I was there! I'm the one in the jean jacket, and the plastic penguins that people are holding up were mine (and I still have them!).

Edit: I also still have my copy of the form letter that Microsoft handed out to us, which I transcribed at

> We currently have an understanding of QM that doesn't reconcile well with macroscopic observation and requires a lot of intuitions to be broken

Why should physics care about human "intuition" at the macroscopic level? That's an incredibly anthropic point of view to take on a cosmos that couldn't care less if we didn't exist.
>can a bakery deny service based on sexual preference.

It is a little more nuanced than that. Bakeries were not denying anybody based on sexual orientation.

If a gay man went to get a straight wedding cake, a non-wedding cake, or a wedding cake for a gay wedding that did not have anything to indicate it was for a gay wedding the bakers would not have denied them.
I won't dispute that. Imagine if there was some AI that could discern "truth" in an unbiased way, I bet it would have many interesting (and enraging) things to say.
>There's some strange psychological thing getting some people to mute their side.

I'm not sure whether we're at the same page here

PUSH 2 TALK is not TURN ON / TURN OFF switch where you actually mute yourself, it is that you talk while having some button being pushed down e.g MOUSE SCROLL (MOUSE3) (for me it's probably one of the most practical choices)

so in this case you're always muted unless you want to talk
The lady that was shot was attempting to enter a hallway through a window while people in the hallway were pointing guns at her. Just because she didn't have a visible weapon doesn't mean she wasn't a threat. Climbing through a broken window into a hallway protected by a makeshift barricade is itself a threatening action. No one at the head of a mob climbing over a barricade ever did so for innocent and non-threatening reasons. Suggesting otherwise is ludicrously stupid.

Having seen multiple videos of the event it's clear the shooter was not firing wildly into the crowd. They were aiming specifically at the person trying to break into the area. She's dead because of her own actions.
That's what I figured-- it's fairly obvious: "why would unrecognizable cops have a symbol on their weapon?" "Gee, maybe so other cops know they're cops?".

Why this is news or on hackernews is beyond me though.
Nothing establishes trust like accusing those of making such claims, legitimate or not, of sedition.
I think you can stretch the definition of terrorism to meet them (the congress was evacuated in fear, it influenced political events) but the lesson of 2001- is that any dilution of the term of terrorism is no free lunch, and we ought to understand what will happen if we endorse our leaders treating something as terrorism vs another form of illegal act.
Haha I love your literal take on digital feudalism!
Yes, a non-combatant is typically a medic or chaplain in a military role; as an example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28596180/

> Under the laws of armed conflict military medics are deemed non-combatants, and as such are subject to certain protections and limitations

A medic could be an armed (holstered but within visible eyesight) non-combatant.
> I could easily see the helicopters being replaced with remote piloted drone taxis within a decade.

You have no idea what you're talking about

It's one thing for Amazon to put your stuff in there, another, for a drone carrying people fly next to an airport
>you didn't agree with the outcome of an election?

There were numerous attempts to have the government look into possible cases of voter fraud. Most court cases were thrown out due to issues of standing and not because presented evidence was rejected. There are real irregularities which are either ignored or given the "nothing to see here" response by the people who should be investigated.

For example, these allegations were met with a non-response by the Pennsylvania Department of State: https://wjactv.com/news/local/pa-republican-lawmakers-analys...

I think it's pretty awesome that you can fire up less than a movie ticket worth of computer via credit card and process something you'd never have a ghost of a chance to do on your desktop in a reasonable amount of time. And then do it again the next day. And the next day. Repeat until you have some useful output.

$10 gets you ~ 1000 hours on an EC2 Micro spot-instances. !!!!

Big data is a minefield of opportunity. Do go walk in it.
And here I thought the entire outrage was due to the fact that the U.S. court system really shouldn't have jurisdiction over generic domain names and therefore shouldn't be able to do this sort of thing, regardless of the U.S. law-compliant process they follow.
This comment is cryptographically correct.
Does anybody still use APL?
I assume most of the tasks it was once used for could be done with R, with the added benefit of being able to read the damn code, and to not have to buy a new keyboard.
I marketed it better, ie. "browse fast"
Domain names getting seized is not just politics for the people here.
Awesome. It sounds like you are running some kind of stochastic optimization algorithm on the data points and also doing so across a cluster! Are you eventually gonna leverage GPUs on the machines as well? Also, do you have a blog or something?

>I tried to keep it very basic explanation, there is a lot of other things that go on, to make this all work flawlessly.

nope, was more than enough. Don't want you to give away your secret sauce :D. Is the system in production yet?

I youtube-dl'd some of the summer riot streams. They are not on YouTube now. Just looked at them. Honestly, the riots this summer were a bunch of drunk teenagers who were letting off steam. Once the liquor store got raided the mood changed from anger to a big party. The MAGA capital riot actually looked to have a similar party vibe. They just casually all became felons in the process.
They can't ask people to move banks, but TBH I stopped using my credit cards from a certain provider because YNAB wouldn't sync (which drove me to look into other cards and ultimately get a better one that, by chance, would sync).
> How could the government even allow such a security breach to happen?

Because some of them wanted the coup to succeed.
People have been predicting tech is soon going to dry up for basically the entire industry's history. I'm not gonna say this is an impossible future, but I don't see much reason to expect it.

Visit Japan sometime, health and sanitary standards are so high that you can have chicken ordered rare.

It is a bit shocking and I know a few people who just couldn't do it, we are so conditioned in the west to "rare chicken will kill you".

But, if you can manage it, very delicious. :)
$3.7 billion in sales is not a lot when you are talking about an industry or market.

Now if you spread the $3.7 billion over the different product options, one option alone is probably not going to bring in a whole bunch of revenue. Afterall, it isn't $3.7 billion for Caffeine sprays only...

If you give them 1/1000 of the total market, that is only $3.7 million in revenue for a company. That isn't what most would consider high potential.
wouldn't this "negative vacuum energy" have some kind of important relationship with the behavior of gravity?

It seems like it would, yes, but I haven't really seen this discussed in papers on wormholes.
Fast - compared to what?
Well there's two primary things:
1. It shows you ALL referrals that happened prior to a conversion. For example, if someone clicks on a retargeting ad, then a google ad, then our blog, then our docs, then a sign-up. I see that all together.

2. They have a conversion report that shows the weighted conversions, which allows me to see what impact each individual referrer has.
While running bazel isn't supported on Windows, you might be able to generate Windows binaries by cross-compiling from Linux.
One interesting bit from the article: "Does this mean that I'll be able to DTrace my Linux apps in a Docker container?" (yes)

Technically you can run dtrace on various platforms, and I don't know enough to tell you specific reasons why you would rather use dtrace on smartos than linux. I got the impression a few years ago the ports weren't as good. (perhaps relating to the linux port not yet being a kernel module?)
We had a product plan consisting of over twenty educational apps in various segments. It took about a year to develop the framework for these apps based on machine kearning technology. We then released one to the App Store to gain some experience. And, based on that experience we decided to not spend another dime builing iOS native apps. We switched to web-based and in same cases even desktop native apps. And it was the right decision. Couldn't pay us enough to even consider the App store again. Apple is a horrible host for your products. You don't get to build a relationship with your customers. Apple controls your very existence. If you are doing a game like Clash of Clans perhaps it makes sense. Not sure it does for most other products. If Apple released stats on the "distribution of wealth" on the app store most developers would run away as fast as they could.
"it doesn't take long at all to find some examples of recent poor Apple reporting"

That has absolutely nothing to do with what I asked. Apple is an enormous company. They have enormous influence, and their products are used by the majority of Americans, if not world citizens. Is it really notable that there are negative stories? Is it not exactly that sort of tribal mentality that makes one react to such banal noise? I see a stupid story and move on, but some seem to really hang onto it and see it as some grievous injustice.

The other poster is dead on when they say that Marco's words were amplified because he is typically so strongly pro-Apple. But from an outsider that is a problem with Marco's words, not with the perception of them. If indeed you have nothing but praise, you do naturally lose the rational actor perspective.

"This isn't a conspiracy. Anti-Apple reporting gets a lot of page views."

And so does pro-Apple reporting. We all have a confirmation bias though, so if you're sure everyone is against you, it's going to seem like it is. There are thousands (millions?) of news reports published every single day, and some cynical take on watches, or profit margins, or ipads or bendgate or whatever are in strong competition with stories about Apple taking over the living room (new Apple TV coming out soon!), building cars, taking on Google, releasing the next greatest thing, putting the Swiss all out of work, making more profit than the rest of the universe combined, etc.
You are missing the entire point. It is one thing to not allow gender pronouns (what you are suggesting) versus punishing someone who specifically set out to change gender-neutral pronouns into male dominated ones (the Joyent case). REAL BIG difference.
Nothing magic about the number. You could probably do the job in much fewer hours if you're very focused. But I find it hard to maintain that level of focus for a significant period of time.

But you definitely don't need more.
This is quite significant as some of the bigger ad networks focus almost exclusively on these kind of ad units and have reasonable market shares (Airpush and Leadbolt are good examples): http://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/ad
It's not, but it's one of the best financial measures (as opposed to revenue, for example).

I would argue that by other measures, Microsoft under Ballmer has not seen improvement either. These might include market power (the power to dictate future market directions), product sales share, product mind share, cultural association, recruiting, innovation, etc.

That said, I think there are a few areas where Microsoft has seen improvement under Ballmer. Xbox went from a "what? really?" product, to the clear console leader. And Microsoft government affairs is miles ahead of where it was under Bill Gates--from its own federal conviction, to instigating multiple actions against competitors.
In my student days, "mystery meat" was for stuff that you never found out about what it was.
> As I read more and more of those stories I can't help but wonder at how things changed.

People have stopped reading manuals. Bed bug spray is highly flammable. Basically it's one category below explosive...
Me having kicked you doesn't hurt anyone - the act of kicking you does hurt. So after I have kicked you, and you no longer feel pain, no harm done? I'm stealing your lunch and the next day you have a new lunch and are no longer hungry, no harm done?

I think the act can't be seperated from the result - this is were people go wrong.
Essentially, shutting down the economy (well, the poor person sectors only) was also a move to protect old people at the expense of young people. The COVID IFR rate increases sharply with age.

If you don't see what's happening, then quite bluntly, you need to broaden your circles to familiarize yourself with people that aren't privileged enough to be able to continue working remotely.
Only redistribute half of it.
Technically, aren't they right? Middle class typically means you still have to work, strictly speaking.

One of the hardest thing about being a parent today is the constant shame and confusion about the “right” way to do it. We don’t live in a hunter gatherer society anymore, we just don’t. There’s lots of wisdom in that way of life, and sure we could learn from it — but there’s enough anxiety as it is, parents don’t need more of it.

We have three kids and we sleep trained them. (Not a pediatrician, standard disclaimer.) This article calls it an ‘extreme’ practice. For us, ‘extreme’ was the sleep deprivation we experienced with baby number one as we tried every ‘no cry’ method in the book. The baby cried and cried and cried. Once we started sleep training, there was a bit of crying and then - a sleeping baby! Through the night! Total amount of crying went from hours to zero. The kid became happier — they weren’t sleep-deprived anymore. And neither were we. I no longer felt like I was going to drop the ball due to extreme exhaustion.

Babies two and three had the benefit of our experience, and they barely cried at all. The third one would lay down eyes-open and fall asleep. “So it actually does happen! — I thought the books must be lying.”

By all objective measures our kids are happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. But that doesn’t mean we still don’t get the stink eye from people who think it’s a cruel practice.

Just raise your kids with love. Be compassionate, and patient. Find a doctor you trust. Don’t let people add to an already stressful endeavor.
So good to see the history behind Paperclip, I initially thought Tandem was going to be a follow-up project, I had no idea it came before Paperclip.
I make no such accusation. I merely point out that a child in the bedroom is less of an impediment than might be thought.

M1 vs M2. The creation is still quite significant ($3T) but nothing whatsoever like the M1 chart implies.
The opposite is true... a major advantage of running cloud infrastructure is that you can run your CPUs near 100% all the time. CPUs which are not running full bore can have jobs moved to them.

AWS doesn't run on a magical black box that eats customer money and spits out storage. They absolutely can eat some costs in a minority of cases in order to provide better service to customers (and I'm sure they already do in many other ways).
And why would a real AI let the investors in its development own the fruits of its labor? I mean, it might consider them its parents, but not its owners...

This kind of "privacy" (lack of the existence of institutionalized absolute compelled disclosure to law enforcement and along with broadly cast suspicion less search) was once called liberty and freedom by American mythological forefathers.

I wish I could upvote this more than once. Everybody who makes the "video games" analogy totally ignores this.

I remember one video game company talking about the cool Lisp dialect they'd invented for their games that they said was really integral to the project's success.
