It's funny how common this story is in this thread; my first Linux system was Ubuntu + compiz and I loved every little effect; now that I'm old(er) and boring, I'm running a stripped-down Debian on i3wm. It's pretty amazing that I've managed to run such vastly different systems over the course a decade with only incremental changes and have it fit me like a glove the entire time.

What confuses me is that this ties new research to old, outdated research (the old wisdom that salt leads to high blood pressure). No sources, but latest studies show excess salt is not harmful in healthy people.

> I don't think it would be desirable for the kernel to handle rekeying, the socket should get sent back to userspace for that. That would probably require some wrangling, and it's certainly easier to do it in a good enough fashion rather than try to clean it up and get it upstreamed, but it's not impossible.

Sure; I agree. I tried to address that under "It isn't really obvious how it would be cleaned up to be general enough to import, and it would be a ton of work with little payoff."

After all, you have to integrate with OpenSSL (or whatever) on the userspace side somehow too. And OpenSSL is contrib code, so we can't just hack it willy-nilly.
Also bare in mind that it's not an accident that April 15 is approximately 6 months away from general elections in November (basically couldn't be further away). Politicians' campaigns would have a different spin if folks had just recently filed their taxes.

The argument that Bloomberg's claim doesn't pass the smell test never originated from the fact that aftermarket out of band management controllers aren't possible, but that it's extremely unlikely that no one ever noticed at any stage.

Some hack targets multiple megacorporations that also lead the technical revolution and all those companies go out of their way to explicitly deny anything ever happened? Undetected arbitrary code execution is one thing, but what was the exfil plan that also avoids a totally separate detection system?

On top of that, these authors are known publishers of bad technical stories?

Possible was never the problem, but the total lack of evidence and massive unlikeliness just doesn't add up.
It has, but let's not confuse that with it being good now. A lot of this sort of thing still goes on at a lot of very high profile places. I've personally seen it happen--and worse!

That’s not actually true. The majority job of a GUI is text rendering. I recommend reading some of Raph Levien’s posts on the matter. It’s really hard to get quality GPU-accelerated text rendering. Games don’t have this requirement because they draw very little text and it’s stylistic so all the high-quality text rendering requirements are bypassed. Moreover they also probably remove the need for arbitrary Unicode whereas GUIs can frequently not make such a simplification. It’ll be interesting to see what performance gains are realized keeping in mind from a battery perspective the GPU may be sufficiently more power hungry that the efficiency gains are insufficient to make it more power efficient.
Robots are good at repetitive tasks and economy of scale. Doing a tricky action for ten thousand boards is something that robots are good at; doing a different tricky action on each of a hundred boards is not.

It doesn't seem plausible to have a business case where you'd get be able to get a large quantity of identical boards (that are otherwise good!), replace caps on them, and be able to sell them for much more than you got them - i.e. that the boards haven't become obsolete in that time. If there's no mass production, there's not much use for automation.

It's exec but a decision like this would still require numerous people.

Not that situations haven't arisen where exec is in disagreement with intel (Iraq, for instance) but that's pretty rare. And it's hard to tell exactly until more info comes in and other agencies corroborate.

My point was that this isn't one person trying to start something. Multiple people had to be involved if what the Times is reporting here is correct.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Yes, this was done with the consent of the miners, and not by pushing out a hardfork onto the network. The miners could have easily refused to perform the downgrade.

Scientist Wikipedia Rejected Is First Woman to Win Physics Nobel in 55 Years
My first experience with drive failure was a ~40MB HDD expansion card in a 386. The bearings got "sticky", so the spindle wouldn't start rotating. But there was a Al tape covered hole, and you could insert the eraser end of a pencil, and nudge it. So yes, very understandable.

Not too much later, I used Iomega ZIP drives, and experienced the "click of death". That was sudden, and irreversible, but also very understandable.

For the past couple decades, I've consistently used RAID arrays, mostly RAID1 or RAID10 (and RAID0 or RAID5-6 for ephemeral stuff). I've had several HDD failures, but they were usually progressive, and I just swapped out and rebuilt.

I recently had my first SSD failure. And it was also progressive. The first symptom was system freeze, requiring hard reboot, and then I'd see that one of the SSDs had dropped out of the array. But I could add it back. At first, I thought that there was some software problem, and that the RAID stuff was just caused by hard reboot.

But eventually, the box wouldn't boot, so I had to replace the bad SSD and rebuilt the array. It was complicated by having sd1 RAID10 for /boot, and sd5 RAID10 for LVM2 and LUKS. So I also had to run fdisk before device mapper would work.
Yeah it’s definitely China’s fault.

I think that is a misunderstanding between the problem and the solution. The ideal scenario is to take a complex problem and devise a simple solution.

Problems are not made more complex. They are literally the requirements provided. From an economic perspective, the problem is. The complexity is in how a person receives those requirements (perception of approach). This is lost on someone when a problem is more fully exposed according to potential second and third consequences (risks). When everything is ad hoc the risks are never exposed until a mountain of code is written that ends up being not simple and excessively fragile.

To avoid the unforeseen stupidity I prefer to expose the complexity up front and try to prevent people from hiding from it. That doesn't change the problem statement, the environment, the end user, or anything else. It only changes the investment of effort and the person providing that effort. Burying your code in layers of unnecessary abstraction and mountains of dependencies is not exercise in simplicity because somebody has successfully avoided writing original code. This is the difference between simple and easy.

Sigh. You went to effort to make your case but I don't buy it (and resent your conclusion of effectively blaming me for the failure of discourse today).

> You're saying "willfully unintelligent" as if he's explicitly trying not to be intelligent

No, I did not. He has access to the science and he also has a religious tract. He chooses to treat that religious tract as an inerrant literal depiction of the creation of the world.

Those are competing thoughts and "willfully" means that he made a choice.

And "willfully" is kind of tricky here, because it would not surprise me if he was raised in a Christian household that effectively brainwashed him into these beliefs.

>And I think that's at the core of how political and ideological discourse is so rotten today.

And I disagree. I think a huge part of the problem is religious fundamentalism and a rejection of science.

That's the trouble with spellcheck. It can't tell you that you are using the incorrect real word.
Yep, I had never really dug too much into this (partly because I would hear about it from people I know to act in bad faith), but I agree on the arbitrariness being a due process concern.

I do feel like "random sampling" would make a lot more sense here. Other profiling feels like it might end up in the same spot though. Really the ideal thing is to improve the processes/rules and give enough resources to where they don't feel the need to have to pull fringe-political-shaped needles out of haystacks in the hopes that those needles happen to also be non-compliant shaped.

Incentives are all weird here, and we end up in these messes. And some people take advantage of that to create a narrative that makes it _even harder_ to solve the real problem (imagine asking for more resources for compliance after this "IRS is being used for politics" stuff)

The post is about predictability and warnings before a drive dies. The work and cost to replace it doesn't change anyway (since you do replace the drive at the first sign of warnings, right? otherwise what's the point of wanting them?). The only difference is if you get an extra chance to copy the data before you replace the drive - which is no difference at all if you have proper backups.

If we'd be arguing about mean time between failure or total cost of ownership, then it'd be relevant, but this post isn't even claiming that the rates of failure are excessive (compared to what?), just that they are too weird and unpredictable for the author's liking.

It's definitely an interesting report of some of Brex's aggregate data, but certain statements are inaccurate and misleading. Not sure if this was intentional or not.

For example:

> CRM: 61% of startups use Copper (formerly) ProsperWorks for their CRM

Then below:

> CRM: Salesforce 13.0%, Pipedrive 26.1%, Copper 60.9%

That adds up to 100%. So startups don't use any CRMs other than those three? Bullshit. Therefore that "61% of startups use Copper" statement is also false.

Also weird that they think Intercom is customer support software, cause it's more of a CRM for us and everyone we know.

Soviet Union was trying very hard to keep up with the US military advances - I know it for sure, because as an engineer my father was involved in such efforts. And, by the way, "just" producing more missiles wasn't easy thing to do also. So, Reagan's policy probably added a lot to Soviet troubles. I suppose Sagan simply needed to be publicly skeptical, because he was in different ideological trenches.
Given how long ago it is since live bookmarks were a feature they made obvious, or called attention to in any way, in the default install, that's not so surprising.

They removed the visibility years ago, then progressive updates made them ever less visible, including hiding then removing RSS notification. Once the first step was taken, the route to removal was set, including the telemetry figures.

If they were as visible as pocket, perhaps as visible as pocket stories on new tabs, usage would be hugely higher.

In Xbox, many of the firmware hires the hardware folks made seemed to be payed poorly. Also, there were tons of contractors, and not much institutional knowledge was retained. (At one point they had to pay a consulting firm to decompile the firmware for a controller because they had lost the source code).

"Why do we need source control? It's all there, right on my laptop. Source Depot is just a bunch of trouble." [rough quote from memory, maybe conflated from a couple of engineers]. I'm happy to report that things got better.

On the software side of Xbox the people were much better compensated, and we wrote lots of firmware, too. It was probably harder to be hired, though.
I think it's fair to acknowledge there is a non-trivial amount of users from China on HN, with their own agenda. Just as I am American, and pro-America, I am sure they are pro-China.

With that said, China has a history of bad behavior, especially with regards to cyber-warfare against US companies.

I think it's just the nature of how it expanded from type hinting.

That is, originally, you were simply hinting at the type of the variable through "pi: float" rather than declaring it. In that standalone context, the format makes sense to me.

> Also, non-fungible asset tokens. Better known as "deeds." (Right now they're mostly used for virtual collectibles, but fundamentally they're the same "possession of X is ownership of the thing X represents" objects that fit the government's model for e.g. real-estate law. They're just digital instead of paper.)

I don't believe one would want physical assets, especially real estate, to be managed on the blockchain -- I certainly won't. Hackers steal private keys, courts can transfer ownership or invalidate the sale. So one need government backdoor to asset database. And if you have a backdoor, you might as well use centralized system -- it is cheaper, faster and more reliable.

There's A LOT less people. But the demand is also lower than for people than can build simple websites. It seems like the latter is a lot more important than the first for setting the market rate on salaries.

I tried it out in Firefox 65 beta. You can enable dav1d via about:config by setting "media.av1.use-dav1d" to true.

dav1d seems to perform worse than libaom for me on some videos I tried. I have a 2014 MacBook Pro with a 2.2ghz Haswell i7 (i.e. with AVX2).

Firefox using libaom struggles to play YouTube AV1 video at 1080p60 on my system. It gets to a point where it drops too many frames and the video becomes unwatchable. For example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmdb-KmlzD8

I hoped dav1d would perform better than libaom on that particular video at 1080p60, but if anything it performs worse.

I'm not clear if that video is 8-bit or 10-bit color. If it's 10-bit color then that would explain it because dav1d is not optimized for 10-bit video yet.

That's been my assumption too.

There also seems to be more acceptance of that even in the business world. I get contacted by Chinese tech companies offering partnership deals because I've made YouTube videos about electronics and they tend to have interesting contractual agreements surrounding social media.

For instance, no other tech company has ever asked me to censor negative user comments if I review their product but multiple Chinese companies have requested exactly that. One of them worded it as "silencing the slanderous tiny trumpets".
