The program is what it is and it has bugs. There is a risk that bugs are irreproducible under a debugger (no matter how transparent the debugger). Oh well; you have to debug those in some other way. That risk shouldn't paralyze us from innovating debuggers.

There are bugs that won't reproduce when you debug via JTAG; so what.

Simply pausing on a breakpoint can make a bug irreproducible.

Programs can infer that they are being debugged via timings, and various side channels.

I disagree, i do think we may have a misunderstanding on experts. The system identifies experts as people who say things such as " I work at AMD and things are going well" or " Google probably won't have a good quarter, source: I work at Google"

There are other methods, but it typically will pick out people who work at a given place, are holding a large amount of an asset, or have some expertise in the field (say CPU design). As they are literally the best sources of info there is a high correlation with movements in price within roughly 45 days, aka at predicting quarterly results.
GDB developers use it extensively, so it's not going to disappear anytime soon. Of course it's far from perfect and there are better visual interfaces for GDB, but the fact that it's a keystroke away is its strong point.
I use the non-e-bike version of these (socialbicycles.com) on a regular basis and it works quite well. Bikes have GPS, a GSM radio, and are geo-fenced, with a recovery fee charged if you lock outside the zone. My system is quasi-dock based with small geo-fenced hubs within the service area where locking is free, and a small fee ($1)for locking off-hub. People do free-lock or leave them in weird areas, but usually if they intend on using it again.

You'll have to go into more detail about "severable statements" to convince me. Hand-waving towards a reference library doesn't really do it as a citation.

> The claim of falsity is intrinsically tied (structurally and contextually) to the false statement accompanying it; they are a single contextual unit.

I don't see how that can't or couldn't apply to a deepfake: the creator could name the file making clear it was a fake, or put a caption in corner of the video stating so.

The "this statement is false" in my example seems just as separable as that. Someone could edit it out or fail to quote it, etc.

Some of your other comments are about trivial issues: the grammar could be trivially changed to put the clause noting falsity at the end. I also used a public figure as an example, because the name came to mind quickly, but you might as well substitute a normal person's name for Obama's.

Yes. Or similar. In Fire / EMS, we do training exercises and for anything involving detailed communications any "block" of radio interactions is both started and finished with "This is a training exercise". It's not done with every communication because that would be onerous but each block (typically managed by Dispatch, rather than field personnel).

This avoids War of the Worlds style issues too, as our radio traffic is not encrypted and available on scanners.
This only works for increasing weight, so you would have to use something lightweight like a Miata. The problem with this is that a Miata won't be able to take 600 whp. If you throw too much power into a car you'll just warp the frame. To some extent you can reinforce the frame, but there is still a limit.

Regardless, adding weights to the car is going to destroy the car's center of gravity which will really mess up handling. You can test this with any car, put 100 lbs in your trunk and drive it around. It's very noticeable.
Because it's assist - I wonder if it charges while braking
And the NSA. They are creating one of the most in depth and far reaching collections of human interaction, all the way down to the most private and intimate level. Long after we're all dead, and presumably technology is developed to trivially crack current encryption, that data will provide a level of information and detail unlike anything before.

I have no love for what they're doing in the present, but at the same time the 'time capsule' they're creating is going to be an unimaginably valuable gift to the future, if it is not deleted. At some point we may even reach a point where you could feed the information into an AI with the goal of it producing simulations that would strongly resemble the times which could be used for teaching, education, and more. And what a key time now is as in one human lifetime we develop the internet, automation, likely become a multiplanetary species, and so much more. Funny coincidence we happen to live in this time...

> Would you ask someone who had studied carpentry for empirical evidence that studying carpentry produces people more skilled in the carpentry than if they had not studied it?

Yes I would, if it seemed to me that an awful lot of people who had studied carpentry were mediocre carpenters, while many who hadn't studied carpentry were excellent carpenters. I would start to question the usefulness of carpentry study.

I don't think we should accept that the study of philosophy improves critical thinking just because that is "one of the aims" of philosophy as a discipline. (One of the aims of homeopathic medicine is to cure disease, after all.) I certainly accept that you'd have a very hard time going through a philosophy program without ever thinking critically, but I'd say the same thing about a student in a comparative literature program.

I also think it's very hard to teach philosophy well, and that a poorly taught philosophy course can easily detract from critical thinking rather than bolster it. I took my share of philosophy courses as an undergrad, and a good half of them were glorified history classes with strong implications that certain viewpoints were "wrong" and others were "right." I suppose you could say those courses were not really philosophy courses if they were taught that way, but then I would say it's unfair to say that philosophy education improves critical thinking if you will only admit examples where it does so.
If those non-malware programs are fixed to use a proper API instead of side channel hacks, then it simplifies analysis.
There's a lot of room for improvement over the new wave of bike startups.

I had shockingly bad experiences with OBike - extremely inaccurate locations for their bikes, broken seat, zero response from support when I explained I couldn't lock the bike, and apparently no restrictions in the whole country, so bikes end up all over the country as well as in people's residences or workplaces (not to mention canals and rivers). They dumped hundreds of bikes in central London and a couple weeks later there were none at all.

Mobike seems like they have their heads more switched on, but the seat on current models is so low that their bikes (in London at least) are barely usable to anyone at average adult height or above.

The official London scheme aka Boris Bikes is still the best, but restricted to central London. The docks have three downsides over the newer model - (1) docks can get full and (2) you still have the last-mile problem walking to/from the dock (3) if unfamiliar with your destination, your ride ends hunting around for a dock to park in or you have to plan ahead and remember where to park ... even then it might be full.

One good thing though is they apparently move bikes around in vans to help fill capacity (mainly because commuters move them central in the morning and away again at night). I don't think the new wave of bike startups expanding to new cities every week are hiring drivers to move their stock around.
I had the opposite experience. I asked Google:

"Hey Google:, whatis the score of [University] basketball game?"

Even though the game was going on, Google told me about the women's basketball game the following day. It took about 5 min before I could get Google to give me the results I wanted.

I have had a lot of results like this--Google becomes useless. It's faster for me to search for it by hand.
Apologies for being a bit pedantic, but I had never heard of the phrase 'keystone species' and went on to look it up. While an elephant could be (and perhaps is) a keystone species, I don't find that the status of being such a species is relevant for discussions on consciousness of animals because of what this term actually means and includes. Starfish, for example, could be considered a keystone species.

Not trying to be a jerk or anything (I'm also a vegetarian) but just wanted to bring this up in case anybody else was a bit curious about what the term meant or had maybe heard of the term before and was confused as to why it was included here. I'm also clearly open to a arguments discussing why a keystone species is inherently conscious.
My technophile bias is showing, but I'm not convinced that any, all, and every past and present student of history thinks that progress is due to violent/radical revolutionaries, and that they are/were the good guys (gals) - even if revolutions were necessary for change.

However, it's seems very evident that to extract even some minuscule progress from a conservative power structure a very strong anti-conservative force is usually a must, and that is usually not a moderate progressive force, but a very blunt radical one.

Again, however, that doesn't mean that the best course of action is a violent tabula rasa, even if things are currently shit.

But, it can be argued that a moderate force simply bounces back without much effect, but even the recent events of the last decade make that argument very unconvincing. (As big changes are easily usurped by blind populism, leaving no room to critical evaluation of possible policy proposals.)
I don't understand your statement really. It did say it would be a bad idea to buy right now (and the past month), but in my comment I said don't buy, but soon probably yes.

The charts I didn't share are the uptrends in promotor scores compared to Intel. I.e. more people are promoting AMD over Intel. This will lead (in time) for the system to predict a buy, as soon as the process drops (it's been steadily going up).

Amazon favors urban locations for their offices, however. How is a bunch of spread out grocery store land going to help them build enough office space near each other to fit 50,000 employees? What are they going to do with all of the whole foods locations on that property?

Sorry, but the idea that the WF acquisition was to actually end up with a bunch of spread out land that isn't usable for their purposes at a premium far above what they would pay for the land itself is just silly. If it goes to Austin and WF has spare land it might get used, but they would never have made the purchase just for that.
I'm a bit confused by the breath-hold where they breathed pure oxygen. The article claims that because they only started with oxygen in their lungs, that is all absorbed and nothing left by the end. But, where does the carbon dioxide go in this case? Your body is producing it, and it normally transitions from the blood into the lungs, to be exhaled. why doesn't it do that if there is only oxygen in there?
That's true, but there's also something unique about being able to take an existing idea and turn it into something relevant and marketable. Look at everything Xerox did to advance the state of the art, and compare that with their inability to turn any of it into viable products. As much as it's easy to say "Xerox messed up", that diminishes the value added by the likes of Jobs and Gates when they turned those ideas into something valuable for the masses. (Which is there the money is, among other things.)

I'm not saying it's necessarily fair, just that there's value in that 'last mile' between a long line of development and the end user of an idea or product.

>I hope you're right and it's not the other way around.

Sadly, it is the other way around. Purdue spent millions of dollars advertising Oxycontin as a safe, less-addictive painkiller for chronic pain. Doctors were inundated with "FDA-approved" marketing info, telling them that this specific kind of heroin was an easy, twice-per-day way to deal with back problems, knee pain, arthritis, etc. It was so deceptive that three of their executives were found guilty of criminal charges, and the company was hit with a fine so high it was a record in the pharmaceutical industry.

After people had been prescribed what is effectively heroin on a regular basis for months or years, they were addicted.

Well, I think it could make sense in that this new healthcare company's goal is to lower the costs Amazon, Berkshire, and JPMorgan pay for healthcare for their respective employees.

So I think it's possible that the healthcare company exists "free from profit-making incentives and constraints" while also aligning with JPMorgan's goal of increasing profits by lowering their corporate healthcare costs.

If this also increases employee happiness by way of lower payments and better service, I see a world where all of the above is possible and it works out better for all (except rival healthcare providers).

Though I tend to side with you and am dubious until proven otherwise.

Permethrin is really fantastic. Anyone here know the best way to apply it to clothes? I've sprayed my clothes with a 0.5% spray, which I got for $5.92/266ml or $14.99/739ml, so about $4.00/ml of pure permethrin.

Amazon has an 8oz/236ml bottle at 10% for $36, so about $1.35/ml of pure permethrin, but then you've got to soak your clothes instead of just spraying them, and that takes several hours and you've got to get rid of the fluid afterwards.

Anyone notice a difference in effectiveness between spraying and soaking clothes?

Ask HN: Automating a daily summary niche newsletter?
Hi all, I'm creating a daily newsletter that would aggregate recent articles on a selection of niche topics. Here's how I broke down the problem and how I'm envisaging going about it.
- Grabbing original content: I was thinking doing this with a couple of Python packages (requests / selenium and BeautifulSoup);
- Storing articles: I was thinking a simple MongoDB database to keep the original articles - stored on AWS or Azure;
- Tagging and filtering content: using metadata from original articles + extra NLP techniques to categorize articles;
- Distributing content: I'm not sure at this point - distribution list will be very limited at first so I don't want to jump the gun here.

Can you think of a solution that'd do this in a more automated / streamlined way? Else, do you have recommendations on how I could go about this? Thanks a lot

> The "eyesore" factor is a trivial downside compared to the massive convenience of just being able to park the bike anywhere.

You're saying the problems they cause other people matter less than the convenience they give to you?
It's an assist electric bike. It's not like riding a moped or a motorcycle. You still have to pedal, but the bike kicks in the electric motor during some situations (such as when going uphill or starting from a dead stop) to make the pedaling easier. When the motor isn't on (such as when you're going downhill or slowing down), the battery recharges itself using your pedaling.

edit: as pointed out, this type of charging only extends the battery a little bit. It turns out that JUMP (the company behind these bikes) actually sends out crews to pick up bikes with low battery and takes them back to their office to recharge [1].

I doubt that would be enough to charge it. Braking is generally done infrequently.

The OP had made a very specific claim about Kaiser. That Kaiser is reducing their costs but pocketing the savings and not passing them on to consumers.

For the uninformed, what's the proper way to remove a tick these days? When I was younger I heard advice to put a flame or extinguished match near the tick until it unlatches, but I've also heard that that's a bad idea because it causes them to emit some irritant into your body or something to that effect. What's the correct way?
First of all, this is great. The thing that bike share programs lack IMO is the tech and logistics savvy of a company like uber.

In Santa Monica and the west side of LA we have an electric scooter service called Bird, which was started by a ex-lyft/uber excec, and it has been successfull from an outsider's perspective. The most convenient aspect of this service is that you can drop off the scooter anywhere you want, there are no designated drop off zones, which is a true solution to the last mile problem. Main issues they need to resolve from a user stand point is better inventory allocation (hard to find a pair of or multiple scooters near each other for multiple riders to travel together).
