From what I read, any holder of a private key that is accepted as authoritative can add data to the chain at will and without restriction. The consensus algorithm would then allow that user to rewrite the entirety of the blockchain at will from the point their key was trusted forward by simply creating a longer chain at no cost. What am I missing?

I think the main challenge of Chisel is the choice of language (Scala).

The designers of Chisel don't speak the same "language" as your average hardware designer. Maybe this is why people have invested tons of hours to re-write risc-v in pure verilog [1] and VHDL [2].

The lol is perfectly appropriate in the context it is used:

KATHRYN HESS CAN’T tell the difference between a coffee mug and a bagel. That’s the old joke anyway. Hess, a researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, is one of the world’s leading thinkers in the field of algebraic topology—in super simplified terms, the mathematics of rubbery shapes. It uses algebra to attack the following question: If given two geometric objects, can you deform one to another without making any cuts? The answer, when it comes to bagels and coffee mugs, is yes, yes you can. (They only have one hole apiece, lol.)

I'm not sure what the people who are taken aback by it usually read -- or what did they expect to find here.

Ask HN: What next?
Hello folks, today i made a probably bad decision and i quit my job. Been working in this company for 3 years, but things have changed and it's not the place for me anymore. And it gets even more complicated...

But i wanted to ask you guys and girls for help, what should i do now. Like where do you find freelance work, because i have to survive now :) Or do you suggest other ways like tutorials, writing, classes...? Or even focusing on my own stuff(but not sure if it's gonna succeed)...

Or are there some companies that hire part time, or something like that? Any help is appreciated :)

Thanks,
Ivan
Speculation. FOMO.
Honestly, the best thing you can do is try to implement your own shitty neural net with only Python + Numpy, from scratch, with only a basic understanding of the math. It will make most of the math very concrete very fast.

The way that I understand it, the SQL databases are not empty and the mining process, if similar to standard blockchains, will mean that the block's hash has to be of a specific format. Thus data can be distributed, e.g. academic articles, which are safe from changes, as the hash is fixed.

I'm guessing that SQL databases were chosen to enable easy queries of structured data...
Not surprised by the results, very surprised by the explanation given, the overhead of open/close calls.

As far as I know (from many measurements and talking to kernel people and researching the mechanism involved), the difference is due to the fact that buffers are shared between all pages of a single file, and not between files.

So for reads, the filesystem will do read-ahead of significantly more data than requested and keep that in buffers, and future reads will profit. Similar for buffers shared when writing.

The same effect will be reproducible with any format storing multiple objects in a single file, it has virtually nothing to do with "SQLite" or "Databases".

One tradeoff is the greater potential for inconsistencies, which despite all the measures taken is much greater when you modify a file rather than writing only completely new files. Another is the inconvenience and duplication of effort, because all your default file-system management tools aren't available.

It would be interesting to see if a pseudo-filesystem that is mapped to a single underlying file would show the same effects (preferably implemented in user space to avoid overheads of multiple kernel round trips).

> Literally the same version of Firefox as underpins Tor Browser will tend, pretty much at all times, to be safer than Tor Browser.

This is absolutely false. Especially if you're considering the alpha versions which include Selfrando.

See "Real-world Exploits against the Tor Browser" pages 9-10 where they conclude,

> The reason is that these function pointers are only accessed through an indirection layer, i.e., memory objects on the heap contain a pointer to a virtual table which is located in the code or data section of the application and contains a number of pointers to virtual functions. Since the attackers can only disclose the virtual table pointer, but not the virtual table itself, as it is not on the heap, they cannot disclose gadget addresses. Note that, when only ASLR is applied, the address of the virtual table is randomized with the same offset as the ROP gadgets. Therefore, such an attack can bypass ASLR but not selfrando.

> We therefore conclude that selfrando can thwart most real-world exploits. Attackers can only succeed in rare cases where they can disclose the complete heap and data section.

> Nor it is of any much benefit to Facebook whether devs adopt React or not. In the grand scheme of things, they could not care less.

Open-source is not a uni-directional thing. Otherwise, why would companies like Facebook use it in the first place? There are numerous reasons why large companies are leveraging open source. See [1] for a list. Using React equals supporting Facebook.

> Perhaps you meant for people to stop using Facebook instead?

That's like asking people to stop using telephone. Facebook has them locked in. There are alternatives to React, but there are no alternatives to Facebook (for most people).

If you don't use the Tor Browser you're exposing yourself to all the fingerprinting attacks that the Tor Browser tries to protect from: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/

Not only that, without the Tor Browser you wont have stream isolation, so all of your website browsing can be watched by a single exit node (whereas with the Tor Browser each site has its own circuit) which makes correlation attacks much damaging (whole browsing history in a session vs 1 site).

This is bad and dangerous advice that can potentially put people in trouble.

Cannot upvote this enough.

I think this is the only way to really grok backpropagation. The hours of staring at the update formula till your eyes glaze over the subscripts and superscripts and the summations would not give you as good an understanding as implementing a toy neural net with just a single hidden layer. Its actually a whole lot easier than parsing those low-level notation. It can be done better with high level notation but then you would need familiarity with the relevant mathematical abstractions.
i imagine they both provide a similar hipster code high. while being fairly hard to do something useful in or make money with.

> I'm not sure what the people who are taken aback by it usually read -- or what did they expect to find here.

They don't understand what they're reading, so instead of asking for an explanation, they attack the lowest hanging fruit (the 'lol').

It's just a form of position signalling, basically they assume everyone else understands it and they want to be in that 'in-group', so they try and look smart by tearing it down by attacking nothings.
Infrastructure spending is not the best way of propping up the economy. You get more for your buck by giving the money to the people who will immediately spend it. Germany doesn't need to increase the military. It's not running an empire like US. And doesn't need to find that kind of employment for the uneducated lower class. And Germany is what it is because of migrants. Do believe. And Japan is fucked because it's not accepting any.

I'm surprised that there aren't any tools provided by various databases to handle that usecase.

Something which can abstract away the storage on-disk of large blobs and manage/maintain them over time to prevent a lot of the issues you talk about, but still give the ability for raw file access if/when it's needed.

I've given it all of 10 seconds of thought, but even something like a DB type of a file handle would be useful. Do a query, get back a handle to a file that you can treat just like you opened it yourself.

> It's a debit push payment

What does that mean?

I assume that's just a VISA Debit or VPAY with a special BIN range. Is that correct? Does everybody in the world participating in Apple Pay get a US issued VISA Debit card?

> then the entire network works over debit

There is no difference at all between VISA credit and VISA debit apart from interchange and when how the issuer bills the card holder. The whole infrastructure is the same. I assume with "works over debit" you mean is VISA cleared, is that correct? Does that also mean that unloading happens with a CFT transactions? If so what does the following sentence in the article mean "Bank transfers will be handled separately."?
But that's what most devs do, right? If it doesn't look like C it's ugly, haha.

You'd need to be able to offset the camera position per-instance, which I'm not sure the old X-Wing games can do. I mostly played Alliance, which I'm pretty certain cannot; it has several camera options, but I don't recall any that allow for arbitrary positioning. On the other hand, if you're interacting directly with the game's memory space rather than just its UI, that may not actually be an issue.

Assuming you can't reposition a camera, you could try offsetting the ship position on one of the instances, but then you'd probably have issues with the simulation states diverging - I suspect a big part of why it can be made to work with Flight Simulator is that the state of the aircraft itself is more or less the only thing that's actually being simulated, so you can manipulate it to a fare-thee-well without affecting anything else. Contrariwise, if TIE fighter shots hit the ship in your left-eye instance, but miss the ship in your right-, that'a a much harder problem to solve.

This is especially bad in Germany where the introduction of the Euro pretty much split the earning population in two.

Around 1990 the average retirement age in Germany was 60 years, retirees also got way more money (they still do) because back then people still earned proper wages and the retirement is based on prior income.

Since the introduction of the Euro real wages in Germany have kept on stagnating while living costs kept rising and live expectancy also increased.

This has lead to the absurd current situation where (old) retirees make up the bulk of the upper-income levels in Germany, while younger generations are not even sure they will be getting any retirement at all down the line, as German government keeps increasing the retirement age (67 years now, estimated target being at least 69 years) while decreasing the amount of retirement money people actually get.

The worst part is that a lot of this is based on the naive assumption that life expectancy is gonna keep on increasing and people can stay "productive for longer", like we are all gonna be able to work till 70+ by 2030. But nobody answers the question that actually matters in that regard: Where and as what are all those people supposed to work?

And why should any businesses hire a 60+-year-old guy vs hiring from a flood of overqualified, eager, and cheaper young folks?

There are countless articles on male CEOs being overpaid.

Recently there was even an article on how Apple's new headquarters doesn't have childcare facilities despite having a gym, orchid, cafes galore etc; a reflection of the male 'visionary' who created a company to reflect a vision of a world where childnren don't exist (too messy!).

I suggest that rather than the world being unduely harsh on Yahoo!'s former CEO, it is an unfortunate instance of selection and (un-)survivorship bias. There are simply less female CEOs. The fact that Yahoo blew itself up and the CEO is leaving with a quarter of a billion in incentives is noteworthy, and it doesn't really matter who was at the helm. It would be hard to imagine many people relishing the idea of converting a declining Yahoo back into a google competitor back when they were hiring

uh... isn't the point of entry-level jobs to be the kind of jobs where people entering the market start out?

Actually, while education years have increased, education standards have slipped. The people reaching tertiary education these days are a year or two behind where they were in the Xers days.

The point is this: stop painting yourselves as undeserving victims. Every generation faces challenges. The fact that your generations challenges don't come pre-solved for you isn't going to be solved by constantly bitching about the boomers and doing nothing.

Perhaps you could add a fourth display below center for the instruments, and have the three mains just show out-the-cockpit views. The rendering method you're using seems like it would generalize that far, with the simulation running on the VM displaying the instrument panel, and the center head synced the same way the sides are now.
