And nowadays we would probably use the discrete logarithm problem or factoring integers as the one-way functions of choice.
It's nice to see detail like this on high-traffic, high-risk environments.

I'm curious about their provisions for cross-datacenter failover. The article mentions haproxy being ready to direct requests to a different datacenter as well as ELB spanning availability zones. I'd expect a failover option entirely outside AWS as well, with short-TTL DNS ready to make the switch.

I'm also not sure what value varnish brings to the table when the Apaches are just serving a small number of flat files. It seems like unnecessary complexity -- by the same logic found earlier in the article -- when a well-tuned webserver will serve flat files at a comparable rate. Maybe the Apache configuration for this workload was sufficiently different to make it an unwanted risk.
I've noticed that Reddit thing too. It's super weird, and it's a really grating style. I think one corollary on HN is overwriting. Comments do better when they're fluffed.

I think a reputation-based system (in the sense of real reputations, not virtual points) could work. I think it's happening in some places. People like Jon Blow, George Hotz & Handmade Hero smoke the competition when they stream on Twitch, and their currency is respect.

The best part of respect-based attention is people who know their shit are able to speak against the zeitgeist, without putting in much effort. That's the biiiig problem I have with upvote systems. It's not so much that they encourage groupthink, it's that they don't present reputation. Every post has to stand on its own merits, which is nice in theory, but in practice it means very experienced (and thus busy) people can't just state their opinion, they have to make an argument, so they end up not interacting full stop.
Building a corona tracker website that will compile data from various sources and perform some time-series analysis.
I'm not sure what "tour de force" means but I agree, playing GTAV makes me amazed and stunned and ashamed and depressed at the same time :D It's very very very impressive what they did.
Agree, the popular idea of AR going around - wide FOV, fancy graphics, good occlusion of incoming light, tiny footprint - is unlikely for a long time due to optics. I think it’s foolish to try to execute that vision now, and why I’ve always thought Magic Leap’s 'do it all' approach was completely wrong (and demonstrated they didn't really have a clear vision for what would make AR mainstream). The only way to achieve that vision for AR is to increment toward it over a long time.

I see v1 as a simple narrow FOV heads up display in glasses frame with very focused use case around place based notifications and heads up information. No input at all, except Siri. Display only turns on when necessary. iPhone is used for input and config, much like Watch was initially.

Even getting to this v1 is going to be a huge challenge in such a small form factor, but a chip with this density will help with power budget. This node consumes 30% less power and fits in an even smaller space.
> To write documentation, you need 2 things: an understanding of the subject matter, and a high-level understanding of what the readers want to do.

Yes. But this list is incomplete. In fact, it's missing the two essential questions the go into _any_ communication:

1) Who is the audience?

2) What do / don't they already know?

How you explain what they want to do is a direct funtion of you they are and their current knowledge toolbox (if you will).

The vast majority of tech docs suck because too often the sender assumes the receiver is just like them. That is, the sender fails to put themselves aside; fails to put themselves in the shoes of the receiver.

Not to traffic in huge generalizations, but it was very hard working in parts of the United States with a press badge and business card reading Al Jazeera. Best response I had from a subject who canceled on an interview last minute: "my pastor told me it would be sinful to speak to you."

We had constant internal turmoil stemming from poor leadership with racist, sexist and outdated ideas:

Icing on the cake was when we discovered our general counsel lied about licensing to practice law:
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/09/business/media/general-co...

Editorially speaking, the coverage was fair, we had huge budgets to cover worthy stories that we deemed newsworthy (rather than by popularity/eyesballs/clicks) and the employee compensation was excellent (they poached nearly 1000 journalists from other outlets when launching).
When the battery is also powering your car’s heater the range drops significantly. Especially with short trips that need to repeatedly warm up from cooler winter temperatures.
Simply not lying to us is a very large step in the right direction, though. You don't have to be in the tank for the Biden administration to recognize that it was VERY BAD that the previous administration engaged in (or at least acceded to) a coverup of a state-sanctioned murder.
The grams of protein are within his dietary needs. Nobody, male or female, needs more protein than 10% of their daily calories.

Most vegetarian diets do not lack sufficient amino acids. Protein needs are greatly exaggerated by "pop science". Iron and B12 are of greater concern than protein in non-meat diets.

If this were to emulate some of my friends then it could respond to just about anything with "that's what she said."
Congratulations, I know how hard of a feat this because I did it a few years ago. I went from 230 to 180 over a summer. I didn't have a special diet other than eating "healthy" (which is always subjective) and running 2 miles a night. I'm sure it's the running in combination with a lack of deserts and frappacinos that worked for me.
Oh, I was using "murder" in the moral sense. I need to be more clear about these things. I believe that capital punishment is murder, for instance.

False. Theft is against the law. Bitcoins don't magically avoid being subject to existing law. The owners are known and subject to US jurisdiction, you have legal recourse through the courts should they try and steal your funds.

He was on LW for a good while, but it's not his focus, no. However, his substack is a good place to have a chat about it.
This is going to be very interesting to see the outcome of.

On the surface level this absolutely does appear to fall under "Price Gouging during a crisis", but I suspect that the defendant here will claim it was more "The cost of delivering power to you at all was much higher than normal given the circumstances, the alternative would be leaving you without power at all"

I don't have direct experience with Griddy but I was working with some people in Texas recently. One of them was on a Real-Time pricing schedule for his electricity. He could monitor his prices using a phone app down to to a very granular level, I think 15-minute intervals. It may have even been minute by minute adjustments.

I think the existence of that sort of knowledge for the users might play into the decision of this lawsuit. If the claimant has a high level of transparency into their pricing over time and just were not paying attention and continued to use electricity as normal, they may not have much of an argument here.
I tried KiCAD, but having used Altium for 26 years, I’m sticking with Altium. KiCAD could not do simple things like assign nets to arbitrary polygons, which is critical for RF layouts. The DRC was really lacking too.

Of course it’s probably great for an open source project, but I don’t know anyone using it professionally. We have 20 Altium license at work, and I have one at home for my consulting business. Even at $2k/year maintenance, that’s cheap compared to the other RF software I use.

The whole problem with free CAD software is you’ll never get the cross discipline skills needed to develop it without paying someone. For example you need an expert at electromagnetics AND scientific programming AND UI design, etc. That’s a full time job, not a hobby. There is a ton of domain specific knowledge.
Phone numbers are too public. The reason why they're used by messaging apps is that they are a goldmine to have. They actually make it harder to chat (ever tried using Whatsapp/Signal on a PC? Yes, you'll need to have it installed on your phone first (and have given over your contacts))

That's why I chose to set (masked) emails as the primary id on groupsapp.online and even these can't be seen publicly unless you share a "group". Others will just see XXXX@gmail.com
I cannot upvote this enough. It is a hugely crucial project to get MathML on Chrome.

I don’t think W3C gets enough love, the standards for CSS and HTML have provided one of the most awesome foundations for information delivery. Corporations are trying to take away open web from us, but like the FOSS movement, I’m super proud that humanity has at least until now had an open web, and that partly is due to the great work of W3C standardizing web languages.

Chrome really dropped the ball on MathML - yes MathJax is amazing (side note: I just released my own rich text web editor that is powered by MathJax - https://writer.math.dev), but we all know that MathML is a key chance to have a standardized form of recording digital math. I am very specific in saying recording and not inputting as MathML is not suitable for human input in most cases, but as a XML like markup, it is great for recording digitally. AsciiMath to me is the best way to input math.

I would love to support this project, but I wasn’t able to find a smaller donation amount section (let me know).

I really hope the team are able to get Chrome to adopt MathML.
They did something bad and yet here we are. I don't know what Clubhouse is, but I'm somewhat tempted to look it up. Marketing: successful. (I won't, in an attempt to counter that effect of growing due to negative publicity, but I find it noteworthy how well it works.)

Your post history suggests that you are in the USA. That is where Apple phones have the greatest market penetration (and Huawei, perhaps, the least) and the mobile landscape looks most clearly like "Apple versus Android". But again, if you just get out there and travel the world, you will soon find that Apple is little-known in so much of it.
> How do you trick them, by walking an "innocent" up to them, and blowing them up?

Right now? Regardless of if it’s controlled by remote or by AI, the sensors are probably easier to fool than an in-situ human would be.
>If you, as a citizen, are unaware of public laws passed by your legislature, then you cannot blame the governor for using them during an emergency. It's your fault for not knowing the law, which in probably every case, has been public knowledge for decades.

The publicity of a law among tens of thousands of other laws is irrelevant. Government authority comes from the consent of the governed. Citizens do not give consent to something just because its on the books. People have jobs and real things to get done in their lives. They cannot and should not be expected to waste their time crawling through hundreds of thousands of pages of legislation, let alone have the legal background to interpret all of it. Imagine how much of an asshole you sound like right now: "Oh, your family business went bankrupt because of lockdowns? You have no right to complain, you should have studied § 46.2-872. Didn't know about it? Too bad!"

Public polling and widespread non-compliance suggests that governors lack the lockdown orders lack the consent of the governed.
Not really: The Xbox has 320 independent decompression channels according to its marketing material, which is kinda powerful. The PS3 had similar tech in its Motion Decoder, but they didn't disclose how powerful it was.

And even if it had just a single decoder, there's always the possibility to pre-decode audio. Or just decode the music/film.
Thank you I will have try this out and go in with a positive mindset that it's a structured and objective system and I can't honestly say where my money is going today which is causing me to spend money frivolously on things I don't really need.

Honestly I might just make an Excel spreadsheet and track monthly credit card billing statements and total income/month and net profit after debits (bills, living expenses, etc.)

Think this would work like YNAB to a degree until I'm fully invested in budgeting?
This is something I might be interested in... please do make a list!
It seems my remark that confused you is that I indeed made a mistake about thinking Russell was a co-author on PAIP, which he is not. Although, I thought it was clear I was talking about AIMA and referring to PAIP in my parenthetical comment. I feel it's nicer to just ask a question rather than to say someone is confused.

I still think it's fair to say the book encourages the use of Python if one of the primary authors publishes solutions in that language over existing solutions in another language and the author promotes Python. Of course, it seems over time other languages have grown into providing solutions. I don't have the book (because of its exorbitant price) but do have PAIP, so I can't say for sure. Even the GitHub repo for the Lisp implementation says its out of date and was used back in 1995. This latter point is relevant and was what I was curious about. Were Norvig's comments referring to a time before the first edition was published, or was it after the first edition was published and sometime in between the first and second editions? I'm just generally curious about the context in which he's referring to.
I think you are being a bit harsh, his apology seems sincere and says a lot more than that.

Don't get me wrong, that doesn't begin to make up for his criminal behavior and I hope he is prosecuted for it. But we shouldn't make it impossible for people to retreat from mistakes.
> but nobody is at fault.

Facebook is.
Not really relevant, but the Army isn't much better than the Marines at preparing soldiers for the real world...
The article is flawed because we aren't in a "post-industrial economy", whatever that is. Despite all the opportunities, and the affirmative action (my university had more engineering scholarships specifically for women than there were women on my course!) the industrial economy still and for the forseeable future requires men to run it. I look around the engineering office I work in now and we are perhaps 5% female. I'm in my 30s and it won't be an issue yet, but if things continue as they are then the world is going to get a nasty surprise when all us obsolete dinosaur male engineers retire and there's no-one to do any engineerin'... Lawyers, real estate agents, social workers (women mentioned in the article) exist in an economic bubble that relies utterly on workers that make stuff.

The article goes on to mention the working class but there, you still need men. We all know of feminists talking about "firefighter" and "chairperson" but no-one seems to mind the term "garbageman". Cherrypicking a subset of the most desirable jobs is not a sustainable situation going forwards. How many lawyers do we really need?
> Honestly, I don't think anyone has been encouraging people to use less bandwidth. For most users a few hundred megs a month is plenty, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I don't think they're outright trying to discourage usage, but any cap whatsoever will make people paranoid about using it up, and have the effect of making them use it less. If there's no limit, you never have to worry about it, and will feel free to use it all the time. But if you know that you could hit that cap at some point, you'll think twice before starting up Pandora or YouTube, even if there's no reasonable way you could hit your cap.
But most AT&T customers are locked into long-term contracts, so they can’t just up and decide “I’ll cut the data plan”.

My startup was recently bought by Nokia, and unsurprisingly, one of the fringe benefits of working for Nokia is getting a free smartphone (GSM 3G) with an unlimited data plan (T-Mobile, thank God). My wife and I looked into cancelling our Verizon family plan and moving to just one line for her, but the early-termination fee is so high that it’s cheaper for me to just keep the Verizon phone. And since our Verizon plan has free in-network calls, it’s also cheaper for me to carry the Verizon phone, so that she can call me on it.

The flip side of this is that people who abandon their carrier because of network issues will be more like a slow leak than a stampede, so AT&T executives with an eye on quarterly profit results would rather do anything but invest heavily in building out their infrastructure.
This is a very worrying trend. Consider this one from India - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtDb_vLZ0wc I find it wrong on many levels. It is a drastic oversimplification of the events of the day and in some sense, implicitly portrays the pilot's job as something the newscaster could have done better.

News media has so far been vastly deficient in how they present technical and scientific matters and stuff like this will only exaggerate that problem.
Actually having a cash buffer and paying with it is quite healthy habit.

You get this understanding after a while though, for me it was past 30.

Totally off-topic, but I was curious if the recursive Rust `sum` function is actually optimised correctly.

[] => 0,
[x, xs..] => x + sum(xs)
}
}

anyone with a dataset , did you try with pypy ?
Can you image non-conductive surfaces with this technique?
You can, by having LVM on top of a LUKS or a swap file on a LUKS partition.

E.g. for a relative secure setup you can:

- use a custom platform key

- use EFIStub boot and bundle you kernel initramfs, flash screen image, kernel options, etc. into a single efi bootable blob

- sign that blob with your custom platform key (or enroll it's hash if you don't use a custom platform key).

- copy your secure boot signed early boot environment into the efi partition.

- have everything else in encrypted partitions including /boot (which your are not using)

- easiest way to have this is make a EFI partition and a single large encrypted partition and then use LVM (logic volume manager 2) on it to split it into swap, root, /home etc. Added benefit is you can easily resize them.

- now you just need to setup a way to decrypt on boot, e.g. by having a boot password, secure key or similar. You will need to provide it even if you boot from hibernation. (or you use the platforms TPM!)

Naturally you can also just ignore how hibernation breaks secure boot and set it up anyway. Your computer doesn't know you are braking the secure boot spec. But a company (like Ubuntu) might have committed to not brake the spec.

Hmmm and a reversal of roles vis a vis Russia and China. For it to work the EU, US, India and the RF would have to form a block to counteract China like Nixon and successors did with China and the precursor to the EU to counteract the then USSR.
Ironic that the text is too small to read on my phone, and reader mode is not enabled. Do you have to do something specific to enable, or disable, reader mode?
It's basically impossible for hibernating a laptop to take more than about 5-6 minutes unless you deliberately configured it with insanely imbalanced components, ie. more RAM than mainstream laptop hardware platforms support, and the slowest storage you can find.
Is this a completely new runtime, or was it built on top of the existing tokio runtime?
Unfortunately the title of the original article is click-baity. This piece really has nothing to do with Amazon other than they signed on to the letter in question. Last I checked AWS does not have a data center in Texas so it's footprint is religated to FC's which do use significant amounts of power.

This article is about how the Texas legislature wants to double down on its "wind is the problem" lie by shifting the costs of establishing grid stabilization services exclusively to renewable energy producers in order prop up the profits of natural gas producers. A couple of companies, including Amazon, wrote a letter calling this plan stupid and unfair. I wouldn't expect to Texas legislature to care seeing how the state murdered through negligence more than 100 people to prop up energy producer profits already.

The reason folks don't do this is in your last sentence: stocks are not risk-free, and you're vulnerable to market downturns. Or sometimes people do do this, and they get swept out of the market when a downturn happens.

Same thing with bonds, mortgages, and loans: there's default risk.

Taking out debt at a negative interest rate has no such default risk: since you borrowed the money in the first place, if you default the lender is out the principal, not you.

(It's also worth noting that there are a few risk-free assets that offer yields higher than 0%: U.S. Treasuries, and U.S. savings accounts. And there is a predictable carry trade of firms borrowing at 0 in the EU, converting their Euros to dollars, and then depositing in the U.S. at > 0. The risk then becomes currency risk, the chance that the dollar will depreciate, which is also happening.)
