I'm also not tired of typing git commands. It seems almost natural now. With that said, this individual spent their free time to create something using their skills which they perceived to be an improvement/optimization upon their skill-set and shared it with the world.

IMHO, that's commendable.
78 with Seattle’s high humidity sounds like a constant slight discomfort to me.

I can handle the heat and humidity and be comfortable, but not while wearing business casual.

He's a great artist and is fighting the good fight but the US propaganda machine will twist every little story to make it look like he's being crucified by the Chinese government.
Basic economic theory also says that incentives matter. And that all things considered equal, if the value you can extract from a good goes down, so does the amount of that good provided. In this case, the good bring innovation.
Just like the old saying goes: “Don’t mix business and pleasure”

That means not mixing corporate Gmail (or Outlook, or anything else really) with your personal email.

Not using the email for your AWS account to purchase home goods on Amazons retail site.

At best your have the mild convenience of a single inbox. At worst Amazon shuts down your AWS account because you open a dispute for a fake Beanie Baby purchased off the retail site.

Stories about A.I. in 100+ years of sci-fi movies
Seattle is usually either 85 or humid; not both. Hot summer days have moderate/low humidity compared to most places I've been.
All right, spill the beans. Which one are you? Diffie or Hellman?
Even in short clothing?
Yeah... -- reading the wireguard paper[0] now, and my cursory analysis ("oh this is like that time that I...") of how it works/what it needed to accomplish is suuuuper naive.

I'm not. I use GitHub Desktop for commits (with a subset of changed lines sometimes), pushing, pulling, merging, creating and deleting branches, looking at changes I did since the latest commit. I've used command line for changing executable bit in index once.
Do you have some verifiable information on that?

The government narrative is it was a drone attack, but there doesn't seem to be any footage to show that. Has anything been released to verify the attack as being from drones?
It's a fine temperature for remaining completely sedentary, but I like to be able to walk to the bus or cafe, or up and down stairs, without breaking a sweat.

Yes, 85 is well beyond "constant sweating even when not moving or doing anything" temperatures for me, and I wouldn't want to be in a room of coworkers doing the same either. 78 would be at the edge of idle sweating.
High humidity compared to Phoenix maybe. If you’re uncomfortable in Seattle’s humidity god help you if you ever visit anywhere in Florida.
I find it hard to believe that people would just band together and volunteer to build things without a monetary (or an equivalent) incentive.

Say, we're at the beginning of the neolithic age, and our village has just discovered agriculture, and the magic of iron ploughs. We already have food supply enough for 6 months.

There's just one small farm left, someone needs to go mine for iron ores, and someone needs to plough the fields, someone needs to sow the seeds.

One person 'volunteers' to do all three tasks because they couldn't agree on who'll do the mining.

The village decides to feed this guy while he does all these things, because he can't hunt while he's working. The 'volunteer' realizes that he could share part of his food with someone else in exchange for some help with iron ore mining and plough-building.

Ok we're now back to the monetary system.
Haha I didn't mean I invented the key exchange mechanism -- just that after learning how easy it was to generate asymmetric public keys (on the shoulders of multiple giants), and how it easy it was to generate symmetric AES keys randomly (on the shoulders of more giants), I envisioned building services that would deliver public keys to a central repo and communicate over regular HTTP, but using encrypted payloads, and some MITM protection.

I thought this was clever, then I realized I had just "discovered" HTTPS.

It's because offices are stuck air conditioning to a level that makes suits comfortable. There was a big brouhaha about it in England a couple years ago.
I have kids, and have a car, but take the bus into downtown Seattle so I don't have to park or deal with traffic. It's an option that works fine for me, so I'd hardly say there's no option other than parking.

And while I'd say I'm reasonably open minded, I'm not particularly politically correct or making myself uncomfortable to do this. On the contrary, I enjoy the opportunity to kick back and read on my iPad instead of driving.
I spell it Raly, just to make it a four-letter word.
Whenever I read a comment or blog post about Emacs I'm like "I should definitely try it out, because that sounds awesome", then I do try it and it turns out it's a pain in the ass to make it work on Windows and I spend more time fiddling with it than I do working with it.

It's the same thing with vim for that matter. A basic-ish text editor setup is trivial in both editors but beyond that things start to fall apart. Plugins/modes rely on being run in *nix environments to work well, and the workarounds for Windows are never 100%. The startup times start to suffer a lot too in vim and Emacs when you pile on a lot of features.

I think that's why VSCode has gained so much traction. For coding it's got easily 90% of the same features as both vim and Emacs (if not more), but it's trivial to set up and with many users being on Windows pretty much everything has first-class Windows support.

So that's what happens every time. I stick to VSCode and keep a lightweight vim setup around for quick text edits since it opens instantly. Perfect for quickly changing a config file or jotting something down if I don't have VSCode open.
I think it's mostly a function of building age. A lot of Seattle housing stock dates to 1920-1940. Apartments tend to be newer; certainly the new large apartment buildings all have it (as well as modern spec insulation).
My dad built our home near Jacksonville Florida to take advantage of the direction of prevailing winds. It was essentially all open windows and ceiling fans with no air conditioning.

During the summer it would be so hot and humid in the house that you were wet again before you could finish drying off after a shower. During the winter the complete lack of insulation meant that temperatures inside the house would get down into the 40s during cold snaps.

On the plus side he was able to brag about us never having an electric bill above $20.
Interesting! How wonder how mainstream is ip abolitionism. I'm not an economist, but do read a lot of economics and haven't really run across this argument. It seems to make little sense to me, but I'd like to try and dig in to their data on this.
You started this flamewar with a vicious personal attack and then elbowed everyone who came near. That's totally unacceptable.

Yes it is. The 99.8% hypothetical number is on a per operation basis. Depending on the layers and complexity of the chip, the ballpark number of operations might be 300-1500 (lots of hand waiving here).

The gist of that part is meant to show how important and impressive the entire process is. In "normal" manufacturing, 99.8% good parts is a pretty darn good process. Many of the easy wins are already implemented. Most normal things are manufactured in far fewer steps, so even if you're only making 95% good parts, it doesn't absolutely kill your total recovery (start to finish).
Maybe a mathematician can correct me. But could you not also model 3D vertices of uniform density into a 1D space and then uniformly sample the 1D space. Of course this may have issues with highly dense objects or very large ones.
How to survive in a down market
I’ve had rental contracts expire in NYC and you just pay month to month after that. I’d be pretty upset if my landlord showed up one day and just bulldozed the apartment with me still in it.

Maybe he was planning it as a political act, a performance piece of sorts. Regardless, I still don’t think having an expired lease should be met with a destroyed workspace.
It's stories like these that reinforce my own justification for running my own email server.

I would recommend you run your own email server - it's both fun (you get to set it up yourself, add any features you want), and rewarding (you don't have to worry about the "rug being swept from under your feet"). The only caveat is time - time for SMTP servers around the world to know that your mail server's IP is not sending spam - and filling out some forms to unblock the server's IP address.

Since moving in 2014, I have had no hassles at all, and I continue to tweak things to my liking.
Getting rid of AC is not that helpful in combatting climate change. Unlike, heating which needs fossil fuels to work efficiently, AC runs well on electricity. In addition, the days that are hot are correlated with days where you have good sunlight, so solar should be able to generate a lot of electricity. Finally, unless we are able to deploy cheap, abundant carbon-free electricity throughout the world, we are screwed. You are never going to convince the general population to make themselves more uncomfortable and give up technology for a benefit 30 years in the future.

"Hey guys I found these punch cards in the parking lot"
The comment I was replying to stated that n was a "huge number", presumably bigger than 3.
I think there's a healthy symbiosis between light "state harassment" of Ai and Ai's notoriety as a dissident.

Ai has been told by the security service that his existence is very important to the state. I think this is because his existence / story demonstrates two things: the state does express its disagreement and can detain / punish, the state allows provides an environment open to criticism and does allow people to express themselves.

Ai is high profile and so the allowance of continued activity of a high profile dissident by a state which is in many cases criticized as getting rid of critics is an important counter narrative that the state wants, I believe.

But I think it's more than that also. Ai is very Chinese and represents something very Chinese: a native cultural ideal, a person who is globally recognized as excelling in his field. His work is not just critical of his homeland, it comments on control in many places.

So I think Ai's case, on the whole, functions more as positive rather than negative propaganda for China.

One further and more controversial point I'll make is that Ai is in the same business as Chinese PR, shaping / playing with perceptions. I think Ai has realized for a long time that art coupled with subtly sensational criticism of his homeland gets him more traction in the global art scene, than just art. This is another aspect to the symbiosis. Ai's criticism of China, permitted by China, also gives China a larger profile in the cultural world through Ai. I admire the cleverness of these instances where the Chinese use Western cultural biases against us cleverly for their own benefit. Meaning that often in the West people are looking to fill in a narrative about the Chinese state being bad, and Ai, by supplying that demand in a satisfying way for us, enhances his career, and actually, I believe, subtly promotes / enhances China's image, using the very narrative demand the West has against the West's intention with it. In other words, the West, by elevating Ai, also elevates China, probably against their intent to do so, and precisely because, I believe, China knows how the play the demand for narrative bias to its advantage.

But even if people in Western civil society organizations understand this, what choice do they have? They want to promote a certain set of values, so they have to use Ai as a persona. So Ai's existence is probably a win-win for all, rather than just the seeming clear win for the anti-China camp that his dissident status on the surface suggests.

There's probably instances of the West using this kind of "appetite for bias" to its own advantage as well but I have not reflected as much about it.
Even if not real, half of the people at HN could probably pull off the real thing or far worse -- fortunately the good people here are mainly rational and peaceful, but the rest of humanity isn't always so. I can't help but feel that some nasty bottle has just been uncorked.
Especially ridiculous considering the advancements in fast chargers that we have now for newer phones.
This is oversimplifying a little bit, but I'd say I use a sort of informal weighting scheme like:

motivation_for_proj = w_1⋅X + w_2⋅Y + w_3⋅Z

where

X := The extent to which I find the project interesting in and of itself

Y := The potential to profit directly from building the project

Z := The extent to which I will learn useful/interesting things from building the project

The thing is, I can't tell you the exact values of weights w_1, w_2 and w_3, because I don't actually know myself. It's really just sort of an informal, gut-feeling thing, but I can say that these three factors are all involved. And those aren't necessarily the only factors. And the weights aren't necessarily constant.

Also, to borrow from @Findeton's answer... I would also say that "the extent to which I need $THING to exist" is another factor. So it may be more like:

motivation_for_proj = w_1⋅X + w_2⋅Y + w_3⋅Z + w_4⋅Q

where Q := "the extent to which I need $THING to exist"

But again, I don't actually sit down and do any math on this stuff for the most part. The only time I do would be if I'm working on something that I think has real commercial potential and I might sit down, do some basic market research, try to come up with a TAM number, put together some strawman pricing numbers, etc., and try to figure out just how much potential the thing has.
Importance sampling works when you're interested in some linear function[al] of the distribution; not for actual sampling.
> The reason git is great as a console program is because the fundamental underlying problem you're trying to solve (graph manipulation) is complex. Graphical UIs only work for simple problems.

Is this meant to be ironic? Everything is literally the opposite of what you said. The entire reason why people make programs like the one you see here is literally that git sucks as a console program, making tasks that are inherently simple (and demonstrably so with a GUI like TortoiseGit) much harder on the command line.

Sorry if that came off abrasively. avs733 mentioned everything is on a different scale in semiconductors and I forgot how long it took me to grasp that.

In school (industrial engineering) we talked about length and thickness tolerances being quite tight at 1/10,000 inch. The units used in semiconductors are nanometers, angstroms, etc. You might do a process and lay down just a couple atom thick layer of material...I had no idea that was physically possible.

How do you drop off your kids to school or do massive runs on groceries? How about extracurriculars? How about picking them up from school? Swim team perhaps (have to drive all over the state to participate in competitions), or even soccer, or math tutor. All of this requires a car pretty much. But that is a tangent, as another HN reader pointed out. What’s not a tangent is that I will not work in an office that’s hotter than about 72F. It’s simply out of the question.
Genuine question: one reason everyone moved to Gmail is because it was so damn good at spam filtering. What do you use today? Spamassasin out of the box? Or plugins or modifications? Or something else entirely?

Have you heard of the town Cooper Pedy in South Australia?

A standard three-bedroom cave home with lounge, kitchen, and bathroom can be excavated out of the rock in the hillside for a similar price to building a house on the surface. However, dugouts remain at a constant temperature, while surface buildings need air conditioning, especially during the summer months, when temperatures often exceed 40 °C (104 °F).

There are several motels offering underground accommodation, ranging from a few rooms to the entire motel being a dug-out.

Section 3 of this paper explains this topic pretty well in N-dimensions:

http://jmlr.org/papers/volume17/blaser16a/blaser16a.pdf

To get a random point within the sphere (rather than on the surface of the sphere, as described in the paper) you also need to pick a random distance from the origin to randomly scale the point on the surface.
Well, I'd love to live in that society too, but like you say, that's not really indicative. And remember, the question isn't just whether builders like you will build cool things. It's whether builders that build boring but marginally useful products will build them. Lots of people will still build games, but how many will still build web applications for helping perform tax audits for lawyers? Sure biologists would still do interesting work, but how many of them will personally put up the millions of dollars in funding necessary to create drugs that sightly improve some patient outcomes?

I'm not saying patents are implemented perfectly right now, or that there aren't better possible alternatives (and I think at least one of my examples is a case where things usually aren't protected by patents). But I think it's wrong to assume that innovation will happen At the same rate if you remove most of the money in it.

(and again, just look at the history here - almost all innovation for hundreds of years came from the few really privileged few who could do innovation for fun, afaict)
I think what OP is getting at about w/r/t AWS can be clarified by my horror story: I once was using third party software (recommended by AWS) to upload 1 TB of data to AWS Glacier. The individual files were quite large, and if at any point during the upload the connection was lost, the third party software would start over from the beginning. I found this out after noticing that none of my backups had been uploaded after leaving it running overnight. I ended up getting charged something like $20K, which was insane! So I disputed this to Amazon, and they agreed to avoid charging me in exchange for a deletion of my account. Which was associated with my old Amazon.com account.
Just naive, not arrogant (it's ok & encouraged to think through things yourself, even if there already is a solution. you can't expect to come up with actually new good things on day 1.).

You've described the obvious part - this is in any crypto intro course. But it's not even getting the details of that right (which is _a_ challenge) that's interesting, because that's not where wireguard innovates. Well it does actually propose a nice scheme, but still - OpenVPN (in TLS mode), IPSEC (with IKE, else it's DIY) and, in a way, HTTPS already have working schemes.

wireguard shines is other areas: the simple (factor 500 smaller code than IPSEC/IKE), performant and fully in-kernel (both unlike OpenVPN) implementation, ifaces instead of xfrm policies (for IPSEC. though that's not entirely far, you can have VTI's. they just don't scale well we've found.), the lessons learned wrt crypto agility (tl;dr: don't), implicit source verification, the beautiful DOS cookie implementation (feels nicer than TA key), that servers are silent/invisible unless you know their public key (cant provoke any response packets without), all connections are p2p. To name a few. Read the Wireguard paper. It's short and very approachable.

Yea, 78 degrees is considered a comfortable room temperature in many parts of the world. The vast majority of households in Asia, South America, Africa, and AFAIK many parts of Europe do not have A/C at all. It's nowhere near "kill old people" levels.

It's kind of offputting how spoiled and fragile the Americans in this thread seem to be responding to the thought of a room without A/C.

> Which, if any, should I read?

Excuse me, but this decision is not being made by the publisher. It's being made by hard working volunteer reviewers, who are typically not paid by the publisher. These reviewers are the people actually deciding what papers are accepted or rejected, and thus deciding which you read, and they deserve credit for it.

I think you mean to point out that the publishers are the abstract entities to which prestige is attached (often for historical reasons), which they certainly are. Though that's slowly starting to change, as researchers move towards open access and away from for-profit publishers.
there's no article of clothing one can put on to become cooler, so it makes sense that the prevailing temp would be cooler.
> A basic connection should generally be available for everyone even if it's a rate-limited logically-separated segment that only provides internet access.

As long as you're legally responsible for the traffic coming out of your network, this is not a good thing to do. Unless people explicitly get the same protection an ISP gets, I'll keep advising them to not to share their connection openly.
The mathematical foundations and power/elegance (and often even simplicity) of cryptographic primitives make it really easy to get the completely wrong idea about the difficulty and disturbing fragility of actual cryptographic engineering. Happens to pretty much everyone.
Yeah, better to work in a dog-friendly, glass whiteboard panopticon with lots of obligatory-alcohol-focused meeting spaces and management spending more on the coffee station than on sincere productivity tools for professional engineers.
