Show HN: My Name Con 2017
Website: http://www.mynamecon.com
GitHub: http://github.com/codegenies/mynamecon

Website built for April Fool's day joke generator. The technical challenge was to be able to generate a large number of plausible conventions based on a person's first name and populate it with speakers, location, and a schedule. A secondary goal was to keep the server architecture as simple as possible to provide a low-cost path to scale. Back-end setup with AWS Lambda with a caching strategy to force a minimal amount of API calls and website hosted on S3.
Well the Atlantic trolled HN, so it's possible...

The complete devkit solution is about $7K - https://www.altera.com/products/boards_and_kits/dev-kits/alt...

The Xeon Phi board https://www.cnet.com/products/intel-xeon-phi-coprocessor-712... is $4.2K..$5K

The Stratix V board will not consume more than 60W when used as PCI Express card. The requirements for Xeon Phi is at least 250W.

With a difference of ~200W, there will be difference in ~4.5kW/h per day or ~1600kW/h or $160 in hard cash per year (US average). Very probably more - getting rid of heat produced, etc.
Any reason to suspect that these regions aren't just much larger than the observable universe?
Fun! Two thoughts: if I recall correctly, Turing lays out progenitors of STDOUT and system libraries. Do you touch on them? Also, do you refer to Petzold's wonderful The Annotated Turing? [1]

It appears that you're suffering from a bad case of confirmation bias. There's plenty of evidence for the existence of antimatter, one need only investigate with an open mind.

You still haven't shown evidence that price improvement is worse on Robinhood than on Schwab by an amount that exceeds Schwab's commissions. We both agree that for under 500 shares ($15,000 on a $30 stock) Robinhood is better even if there is 0 price improvement.

I've already explained in my previous response why you can't compare the KCG statistics to the Schwab statistics. I will repeat it again and rephrase it in case I was unclear. KCG does not have retail customers so their price improvement statistics are not comparable to Schwab's price improvement statistics. Retail customers get more price improvement because their flow is less toxic than institutional flow.

> Robinhood lists KCG, Citadel and Two Sigmas as their market centers.

I'm not really sure what this is referring to. Schwab routes to UBS, Citadel, KCG, G1X, and Two Sigma.

HEADLINE: DANE for TLS in Firefox, wget, curl, etc

DESCRIPTION: Support TLS server verification using TLSA DNS records protected by DNSSEC as described at http://www.internetsociety.org/articles/dane-taking-tls-auth... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-based_Authentication_of_Na... ; this should have a smaller attack surface than the current mess of X.509 certificate authorities that are trusted by web browsers. Doing this well may require better client side DNSSEC validation; my impression is that DNSSEC validation deployments in the real world today often tend to have only the recursive resolver doing DNSSEC validation, with a potentially insecure connection between the client and the recursive resolver. Firefox probably ought to check the entire DNSSEC signature chain itself.
Enpass ticks all the boxes, except... no-one ever mentions or reviews it. Has there been a security audit? Is it reliable?
I love it. I hope somebody to actually code an implementation soon and publish it in "Show HN"
I found it too tall, like many other similar fonts. Usually source code is not too wide horizontally and limited to 80 characters so making characters more wide and less tall allows to fit more to screen.

However it looks good and may be useful for those who prefer to open more that 2 columns of code in editor, or users of tiling window managers.

No, the frog is not at all aware of what is happening. Basically to it, gravity has just shifted to higher up rather than always down.

This... would work for artificial gravity, you just need massive coils in the floor and ceiling. This field is 10-100x higher than the quench fields of superconductors[1], so there is no known technology that would be capable of making fields on such a large scale continuously. Even if there was the power requirements would be on a different scale. If we had that capability we would probably be way beyond having to worry about things like gravity.

Scientists in academia are often ignorant of philosophy; this seems to be a side-effect of increasing specialization and corresponding tunnel vision.

Science as an empirical practice of truth-seeking is reliant on philosophy for its foundations. Of course it is possible to "do science" without having any interest in epistemology, just as it is possible to program computers without having any interest in computer science, or to do mathematics without having any interest in mathematical foundations.
The space between galaxies is not completely empty, there is still about one atom per cubic meter. Boundaries in outer space would stretch across billions of square light years, enough space to generate noticeable signals even at such low densities.

Slightly off topic but this practice of talking-out-loud to get yourself doing stuff is also beneficial to people with executive dysfunction. If your executive function is impaired you generally don't have the "internal monologue" or the voice in your head. This makes seemingly simpler things like taking a shower, driving, or eating, very difficult! I'd often "forget" to eat, simply because I could not get myself to start.

I found that it helps to announce (not necessarily loud) what I am to do, and the steps to do so. ("Okay we're going to get up and walk to the kitchen.", "We're walking now")

Though for some reason I use plural pronouns for myself -- we, us etc. Does somebody else do that too? :)
That isn't a counter-argument, that's an analogy. It sounds quite nice, but it's also a bit a straw-man. The people who don't think technology is going to destroy work (I'm in that group) would never claim that there's a law of economics that says better technology makes more jobs. If you'll note in what I said, it's an observation about what people are (and what horses are not) that's going to keep things rolling. Namely that people are endlessly creative, and always wanting new things. That's kind of the point where the analogy with horses breaks down completely.

Besides that of course, horses were valued for their muscles and not for their smarts. For as much as we as a community go on about AI, the robotics community hasn't even cost-effictively automated washing, drying, and folding laundry. To say that they're going to automate most knowledge work seems to me to be beyond grandiose. Not saying it's impossible, just not on any near-term timeline.

It is the most energetic reaction possible. We can see the background radiation of the universe- hot objects give off heat, even when they are very, very cold. The universe glows like it's 3 degrees above absolute zero, and we can see it. Compared to that antimatter annihilation would look very bright indeed.
If we accepted your premise that 60% of humans did behave or act like horses (at least economically) well then still there'd be a massive difference.

You're saying that it's not a given that the economic situation will recover. That's clearly true -- but it's not evidence of the contrary -- that the economy won't recover.

He has achieved "rock-star" status in academia - quite deservingly. I wonder how much more he will contribute directly to the field during the remainder of his career. I suppose once you reach his level focusing on these grander initiatives will help create a legacy.

Funny aside: I saw him walking up University Ave a few weeks ago. He was all bundled up in a coat and hood. It was cold out, but I also suspect he is becoming recognizable as a celebrity by some and prefers to keep a low profile. If I had recognized him earlier I probably would have tried to stop and chat.

You didn't want another language but then mention a complicated pile of languages and libraries? And people doing high-level synthesis weren't putting "efforts on thinking out useful abstractions and implementing a compiler that works efficiently?" That's the opposite of true and condescending to HLS or HDL fields where building useful, efficient abstractions on hardware easy for developers has an abysmal success rate despite large brainpower and money invested. Lets look into your recommendation, though.

" Just a Python library that defines useful abstractions for logic circuits building, allows to construct arbitrary graphs using them, and then compile these graphs to VHDL. "

Because you're really describing either an enhanced HDL like MyHDL or a High-Level Synthesis tool. The first requires people to learn hardware to use right. That's hard for developers based on their online comments. If they do, they can make some pretty efficient designs, though. The second has shown to be easier for developers since it can be close to their way of thinking. However, turning high-level abstractions into efficient, low-level code is more like automatic programming than regular compilers given every step is NP-Hard w/ tons of constraint combinations. Like in software, automatic programming never happened: anything doing synthesis usually performs less than hand-made stuff in numerous attributes. This can be significant in affecting say the clock rate. So, CompSci is investing in both directions with numerous HDL's and HLS tools made. For HDL's, BlueSpec, Chisel, and MyHDL are probably most successful since they help hardware people handle hardware better. For HLS, I'm not sure since they don't disclose their numbers. ;) Here's a list of them, though. Bluespec is on same list so maybe its features fit in multiple categories. (shrug)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_synthesis

Synflow's people were doing HLS research at a University of ironically more similar to what you brought up than most HLS. It had a parallel focus. Must have not gone anywhere or got corporate lock-in. So, they went the other route to build something easy for developers. Then open-sourced the compiler and IDE extensions along with some cheap IP and a cheap board. So, when a developer asks about doing FPGA work I reference easy-to-learn tools like that or NAND to Tetris if they want the hard route.

Note: There's also commercial support for OpenCL on FPGA's by Altera. Maybe others. There's also CUDA to FPGA work. CompSci isn't being narrow: they've been hitting every idea they can think of with low adoption you see being because almost none of it works. They keep trying, though.

2 questions..why did the smaller Sun have more mindshare and what were the 4GLs? I might not be familiar with the term.
That question is a nonstarter, essentially. Physics is interested and concerned with why the observable universe has almost no antimatter, so asking "what if all the antimatter is outside the observable universe" doesn't actually answer the question.
We're talking about using this in the context of "artificial gravity"... you're going to have a lot "outside of the coil" regions.

> If you fully disclose you WILL see the hack in the wild because of its ease to execute and there are malicious people out there. What does the public do? Not go into work for a month? People can't do that. Buy a new car? People can't just buy new cars. They are too expensive and it isn't like a dealer will want to do a trade in for a dangerous car.

Of course they have options. It's up to them to choose whether to get into a dangerous car. They can arrange to ride-share, or book a taxi, or ask a favor from a friend. And even if they have no options, the vulnerability researcher didn't make them less safe by disclosing immediately. The car company made them unsafe by shipping a car that could kill them.

Tangentially related, but you may find that the term "responsible disclosure" has covertly influenced your thinking, as it did mine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12308246 It's easy not to notice.

> We are presented with a problem if the responsible party brushes off the researcher. It is the responsibility of the researcher partially disclosing to the public. So now we're in the second case presented above. But now there is more power to the public. From a legal standpoint you can prove recklessness or malice by the responsible party and a lawsuit will be much easier. The company can be required to replace the vehicle, provide a temporary replacement, or buy it back. Whatever happens it will go much smoother in court than if one of the first two events happened.

The company will undoubtedly be required to fix the vehicle anyway, if only to save their brand. Just because someone revealed the existence of a problem doesn't absolve them of any responsibility.

You make some good points, and the conclusions are logical and well-reasoned. Unfortunately I think we disagree on the central point: "This method IS protecting your life better than you could do on your own." Under no circumstances would I want to get into a car that an sdr could control -- this is the ultimate protection -- and the only way to ensure that is to be informed immediately.

The word "just" feels awfully out of place in this context. If you were doing some kind of broad-based polling of public opinion, of course you'd want a bigger sample size, but 29 of the top 100 researchers in a field sounds like a hell of a good sample to me, and well worth listening to.

> Are you really arguing that nuclear weapons and stuxnet are similar because most nukes haven't been used on people?

Definitely not arguing that they're similar. More so about the difference decreasing at a greater rate than people seem to realize.

Taking a step back and talking in more general terms. Nukes are dangerous because they allow one person to do harm to masses. The same statement is increasingly more true in the software world. I feel like this isn't understood well enough (or is ignored?) by most people.

As an example, we're putting more and more software into cars, internet connected software even. If this software follows the security practices of almost any other software, then it won't take long until malicious users will move from opening CD trays to car doors.

FLAVOR: Ubuntu Server

HEADLINE: cacti package that works

DESCRIPTION: 16.04 LTS shipped with a cacti package of a version written for PHP 5, but shipped PHP 7, and Ubuntu's effort to patch cacti for PHP 7 compatibility was incomplete. When I reported a bug with using more frequently than once a minute polling resulting from this, I got a response that seemed to indicate that Ubuntu was in no hurry to fix it. I ended up simply switching from Ubuntu to CentOS with the epel repository, which avoided both the bug I did report, and some other buggy behavior that I suspect may have a similar PHP version incompatibility root cause that I have not wasted the time to track down.
