This article was an interesting read even though I know close to nothing about quantum mechanics. The part you highlight made me think of Diffie-Hellman key change.

Ask HN: What makes detecting cheats in modern games so difficult?
Take speed hacking for instance in an Unreal Engine multiplayer game like PUBG or Fortnite. Speed hacking refers to players moving faster than the game allows, giving them a massive advantage. Is it not painfully easy to detect this as soon as it occurs by the server? or do game devs purposely allow it to be exploited in hopes of data-collection on other cheats? Or is there some difficult problem here that the industry hasn't been able to solve yet?
On Windows 7 SP1 it uses IE11. Same on Windows 10. On some Windows 8 it might use IE10, which is still not that bad.

Sorry, can't tell much about xls/doc. It's aimed to be a web UI for your app. Normally, you app would be a web server then. So if you want to handle certain requests and open external apps - you surely can do it.
Admins having the power to ban user based on any offense, no matter how abusive or unethical they are, is not a characteristic of an open/decentralized social network.

Accurate SLBMs, possibly on depressed trajectories. Russia didn't have these in numbers at the end of the cold war, now they do. They have even added GLONASS guidance to their ballistic missiles, which is worrying, because it means that they care about accuracy while GLONASS is still working, i.e. in a counterforce first strike.

Given the time it may take to validate and characterize a launch warning, have the message reach the President, have him make a decision, relay the message through STRATCOM, retarget the missiles (assuming we're still detargeted), and launch, you're talking at least 10-15 minutes from warning to launch. The Russians have missiles that might arrive faster than that. If bombers on the ground are maintained at a high enough level of alert, they can be launched at the very first warning as a precaution, before any irrevocable decision has been made.
Its part of the Fit for Life diet and that's debunked [1]

From what I understand they are describing a mechanism through which information can escape black holes.

The problem with black holes is that a classical black hole would result in loss of information which is a big no no.

The initial proposal for Hawking radiation lacked a mechanism through which information can escape the black hole this wormhole of sorts provides this mechanism.

I’m not entirely sure how different it is to the holographic principle in which the information is encoded on the surface of the black hole which allowed the Hawking radiation to “pick up” a bit of information on its way back sort of like light projector.
As complex as the iPhone X is, I'm thinking that this iteration of it will be a buggy mess (and I'm not just talking iOS).

Hope not, but I'm taking a wait and see posture.
Nuts to that, I don't want to spend every summer covered in weeping sores from whatever infection the local mosquitos carry. The wife and I look like crackheads half the summer. If I could I would DDT my whole neighbourhood and wouldn't bat an eye.
It literally is not. I live and work in and around SF, I have worked directly with the homeless, and I pay attention when new data comes out on this subject. You are 100% wrong about this.

Hi - thanks for the response. This will be brief, as I'm very short of time.

> Yes the full program for left-truncatable primes happens to be fine ...

Yes - although it's a little lucky, but easy enough to run an extra confirmation.

> how did you generate your list of false positives?

Nothing clever - I literally wrote a slow trial division program, then ran through all integers up to some limit - 10^8 I think - and when the "is_prime" routine said it was prime I called the slow version to see if it was right. Machines are fast.

> the function in the post has 2690 of these false positives less than 10^12. ... Of these 2690 false positives, these have the 5 largest smallest prime factors:

> 681719179681: 5743 8527 13921
> 802204143001: 5981 8971 14951
> 747734199031: 6791 8731 12611
> 949631589089: 6917 10193 13469
> 251994268081: 354961 709921

That's cool.

> And indeed the `small_primes` used by the test needs to be extended up to the prime 6917, if we want to get no false positives at least for numbers up to 10^12.

We can augment this with the Perrin Psuedo-Prime test, but Miller-Rabin is still probably the best way to go to do it "properly". If I re-wrote the material on the Perrin tests[0] I'd probably use M-R.

So we're pulling in the same direction, although making different trade-offs. And it's fun to play and see what happens.

I just moved to Portland from the North SF Bay Area. I work as an independent contractor which means in theory I would work anywhere, but my experience has been it's usually in-person networking and locally-based online groups that help me get new contracts. I wanted to move to Portland because the cost of living—while increasing—is less than the Bay Area, yet the amenities and quality of life there is similar. (And in some ways, better!)

I haven't gotten a full sense yet of what the startup scene is like here, but there's a great cowork space downtown (NedSpace) that is pretty active. There's also an online calendar of tech events that seems quite full: http://calagator.org

Anyone else here on HN embraced the cliché and moved from CA to OR?
The B-52s don't carry bombs anymore, they carry cruise missiles. They drop off eight of em about 1000 miles from the target and turn around. It is still very questionable whether the AGM-86 is viable penetrating Russian airspace, but at least they have eight times as many targets to deal with.
And nobody cares to give you a good adblocking solution out of the box. Google makes money by ads so I guess they'll never change that.

I agree with everything else said. Android is just a half-done OS in any regard I can think of. My Xiaomi Mi 6 is awesome, beautiful and very snappy but Android's idiosyncrasies are visible everywhere:

- I have a gigabit internet that gives me 50 MB/s (yes, megabytes, not megabits) to USA which is halfway around the globe but the Play Store still manages to lag.

- My GPS can find my location in 1.5 secs max (there are dedicated apps to test that) yet most apps that go through Google's Location Services consistently need 10+ seconds (a full minute is not a rarity as well) to report a location back to the apps.

- Still no native themes. If you don't like white or if it's hurting your eyes, well, tough luck. Pray your OEM offers them. Luckily Xiaomi does. (Objectively, iOS is at fault here as well; they're trying with the Smart Invert Colors feature and it's decent, by the way, but still long way to go)

- Still no good support for volume controls; if you want to decrease media volume, most of the time you end up decreasing phone call volume. Like, seriously. It's 2017.

- Idle battery life. Damn it, why the hell must I lose 20-30% of battery when out and about with 90-98% cell signal and never unlocking my phone? Why? I had a work iPhone 5s around a year and a half ago and it was full of apps I used for work -- at least 20. I go out, do real-life stuff for 3 hours, come back home. Android lost 25% battery. iOS lost 3%. And then people wonder why iPhone fans love their phones. It's not only about being fans. There are real, measurable reasons.

- ...There are others but let's not make this a book.

After installing a VPN app that filters traffic I was just astounded. I use my smartphone on average 2.5 hours a day and holy shit, that's ~17000 ad/tracker requests blocked a day!

Android is overhyped and clumsy. And the efforts of Google lately are laughable, incomplete and are coming too late. And oh yes, they absolutely are a desperate reaction to the inevitable huge success of the iPhone X.
Sort of. It's not anything like Android. But, as an iOS user, I'll continue to hold out hope.

I am at $250/now. I am now seeing some interesting data patterns on selling price and am considering maybe asking for $500. Right now i am gonna stay with $250 and slowly begin testing $500.
But i just started testing a tesla on demand model im not sure how that is gonna work: https://onlyusedtesla.com/ondemand/

Problem: a tesla owner takes his tesla in for servicing.
Servicing center has no loaner for him.
Service center rents a tesla from my platform for the customer.
Problem is inventory.
Also tesla can use my platform to get customers in for a short term rental then try to convert them into a sale ( sell them a tesla)

So new business models are unfolding. there are other ways to make sales. I will of course test my threshold. ;-)

>> Another thing I wonder about, is if it's possible to have the CPU come online directly in protected mode or long mode after POWER_OK has settled and the motherboard releases the reset line.

> No. The BIOS needs to perform some touchy, hardware-specific initialization -- like detecting and calibrating RAM -- before releasing control to user code. It's not something you'd want the OS to be responsible for.

I think you misunderstood me. I didn't mention, and wasn't even thinking about the OS yet. As you said, UEFI handles the real->protected->long transitions. While the OS isn't loaded yet, and hardware initialization is being done, the CPU is still executing. What I'm talking about is setting the CPU's default power-on state, how it is before it begins executing even the boot firmware to initalize hardware and prepare to hand over execution to the OS.

By my understanding, when the power comes on, the motherboard waits for the PSU to assert POWER_OK. Once the PSU has done so, and POWER_OK has settled, then the mobo releases the CPU's RESET line, allowing the CPU to begin executing. At this point, the CPU is in real mode. What I am wondering is if the hardware can be configured so that once the motherboard releases RESET, the CPU is already in long mode, and begins executing the boot firmware. Is there something about the nature of pre-OS hardware initializtion that requires the CPU to be in real-mode to do this?

If CPUs could be coming online directly in long-mode, then perhaps the UEFI firmware could be simplified, since it doesn't need to handle the real->protected->long transitions anymore.
Why do we need to be wealthier?

Can't we provide healthcare and basics for learning complex things without new Ferraris, Porsches, iPhones, and 5 homes each year?

WTF kind of logic is "We have to chew up all the resources so we can all have everything?"

We should be focusing on equitable outcomes, as Adam Smith and the rest of his lot, advocated for hundreds of years ago.

All we're doing now is fighting for our own wealth and collection of symbolic trinkets, which is traditionalism

The Dolphin Emulator has been posted on HN before it emulates both the GameCube and the Wii. That is the one emulator that impresses me the most... You can play online with other Wii players if you extract some info from your regular Wii, aka make your Wii immortal to a degree by digitizing it...
ROS has been around for what 'feels like' at least 10 years now. I remember seeing it a long time ago with a robot that was doing something with a sock.

I don't have any opinion on it, just wanted to state that it isn't new, which may be good, stability FTW!!!

>You can easily grow an economy without consuming more raw materials and a simple thought experiment will prove it: consider that you buy some paper and a pen and write a book. What is the economic value? Well it could be zero, or negative because you've wasted perfectly good paper and the time of everyone who read it. Or it could be billions because it's the next Harry Potter.

Isn't that dependent on the economic school of thought you subscribe to? While that may generate economic activity, unless you're exporting it won't generate economic growth, as no new tangible value has been realized. As per the current trope of selling houses to each other at ever-increasing prices.

A billion dollars flowing from thousands of people to a few, all within a single economy, doesn't seem like growth, it just seems like activity.

Now, foreign market sales or flogging off the international film rights to said book - That's growth.

I second the recommendation on the book Traction.

After reading that book, it really opened my eyes to all the possible distribution channels and every single one, when executed well, can be success including ones thought to be so low-tech. Which really leads to the mantra of go where your customers are regardless of whether they are online or not. Offline channels can be very effective.
I agree. The issue is, as a longtime iPhone user, I'm being forced into a no-headphone-jack phone. I need to get a new phone in the next month or so, and my major options are:

1. iphone SE - seems great, but given its internals are 6S, it will be updated into slow performance sooner than my other options.
2. iphone SE 2 - rumored to come out in the next 4-6 months, but who's to say it will have a headphone jack?
3. iphone 7/8/X - dongle land
4. Switch to android - apart from standard friction of using a new OS (probably not a very big deal), I may need to re-buy a number of apps. And the one android phone I was counting on, the Pixel 2, now also doesn't have a headphone jack. Thanks google.

I'm actually tempted to just buy an android phone by Blu or something; this overpriced hardware seemed almost worth it when it was at least not taking away features that I use everyday.

Is that the best version of not rolling over and taking it? Ugh. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate them.

Isn't Postman's "native" app electron-based instead of being the chrome packaged app from before? So they basically went from Chrome to Chromium and started calling it native...
Can you link that? I'm somewhat skeptical.

My skepticism is rooted in having fireflies where I lived 20 years ago in a neighborhood that wasn't new. Now, there are no fireflies there. Unless the die-off is very slow, my experience clashes with your report that their limited range / terraforming are to blame.

If the article is merely stating that terraforming has MORE of an impact than pesticides... well, that could be true merely because we build more than we spray.
Many years ago when Second Life was a small community of incredibly cool and gifted people (around near the end of beta/beginning of live), I've written some games there. I've long abandoned SL, but the games still exist in world (because I have a lifetime account, so my virtual land ownership never expires).

I've set the games to email me when someone achieves a respectable score in one. I still occasionally get one of those emails. That's LSL (Linden Scripting Language) code that was compiled into bitcode years ago and the source hasn't been touched in any way since, and neither has the bitcode (or the script would've been reset and lost its memory - all the highscores are stored only in script memory) - and it still continues to run. This amazes me. That's the kind of stability many webhosts can only dream of.

Oh, the SLURL is on the bottom of these emails if you want to check out some really old games: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Stillman/65/81/24

The many eyes idea postulates many eyes looking at the code, not many eyes finding bugs. (Proprietary software has as many or more users finding bugs as open source!) In reality, the number of developers actually reading code to find bugs may not be significantly larger for complex open source like Linux, particularly in esoteric areas like filesystems or device drivers.

It's important to understand when physicists talk about the theoretical perfect preservation of information in these contexts, it's like... if you could pause the universe and evaluate every particle, every "thing," all at once you could understand where it all came from and know the previous step and from there the previous step and so on infinitely until the "beginning." The idea being that the entire universe's "state" if you will, is derived continuously from its origin, observably.

It's not about whether you as a human could use a black hole as a cosmic... blackboard.
I think it's more along the lines of "Eh, I probably don't need to look, since someone else is surely doing that".

Or, you know, the developers were trying to balance far more factors than what has to happen with a movie. Multiple platforms, not only high FPS but maintaining that FPS with disparate scene complexity, old hardware vs new, support a variety of camera distances and fov, highlighting game elements so that objects don't blend together, handling in-game cutscenes as well as actual play, having an asset pipeline that doesn't destroy your budget, etc. Not to mention players that are random monkeys that like to try to do bizarre things within your game.

I guarantee game developers and game artists know a hell of a lot about HDR and color and lighting, and all kinds of things related to it, probably more than most people involved with movies. They just come at it from a different viewpoint - that of real-time rendering.
