Facebook is offering new CS grads from top schools $180k+ a year plus $30k+ signing bonus. That's cash. Most startups can't afford that unless they are very well funded.
i look forward to see this applied to audio books. this will bring their price down drastically. even to zero. i may just buy the text version, and have a program to generate voice as it reads the book.

there are tools that do that now, but i find that i can't listen to the current quality of computer generated voices for more than a few minutes.

with an almost human like voice i don't think i'll care if there is the occasional glitch that makes me realize that it is a generated voice as long as it sounds fine otherwise.
Thank you! I had missed that. I think that is the most important article I've read this month, if not this year.

There are a lot of cases where piping problems have totaled houses. A substantial fraction of houses built with polybutylene piping have already been demolished because of it.

My concern is not so much that a sample of 100 PEX heat traps installed today will all burst on the same day in 2059 or 2159. It's more that if the average lifetime of PEX under those circumstances is only, say, 50 years, maybe there will be a few percent that burst in 5 or 10 years, depending on how variable the corrosion rate is. So if you can protect yourself from that with 45 centimeters of copper, which will cost a heck of a lot less than the water heater does, maybe you should.
How about having lots of decent, desirable universities instead of a few elite ones and many weak ones? Furthermore, one could abolish tuition and provide students with living expenses, either all or those who need them. Furthermore, reverse grade inflation in school such that the final grade is a better predictor for learning aptitude. That would solve the stupid admissions problem once and for all. Btw we had all that here in Germany, but since about 20 years they are trying to shift finances to artificially create few "elite" unis and lots of crap unis in order to emulate the American system.
They don't say anything about the quesadillas being frozen in the article at least - but regardless, I'd say it's probably a similar amount to the calories from rice in a stir fry on rice dish. I eat about 1/2 cup (uncooked) of rice with my stirfry typically, ~350 calories compare with the flour tortillas I normally use at under 200 calories each. Most basmati rice is white which I'd say is just about as "processed" as most flour.

I'm not sure what the exact definition of "processed" being used is though so I can't say for certain. But both are being stripped of outer layer, mixed with water and cooked. I suppose you need a tablespoon or so of oil to cook the tortillas but I'm assuming you're sautéing the veggies for the stir fry in oil too.

I just don't get what processed means in this context.
I much prefer Firefox dev tools over chrome. The only time I use chrome is web socket stuff. Debugging css grids in Firefox (which I learned this year) is amazing.
I wonder if most policies put in place during a president's term actually affect the next term.
Musk does play both sides. After numerous crashes, Tesla blames the driver for not driving. However it's always a good time to tweet about FSD being just around the corner. Watch the video at https://www.tesla.com/autopilot. It immediately says the driver is only in the driver's seat for legal reasons. It should say he's there to wrest control from the car whenever it encounters the dozens of edge cases it fails to handle before it accelerates into a concrete barrier. It's probably more dangerous than a human driver because if they had stats showing otherwise they would have promoted them. Early drivers took risks on the first cars because moving away from horses revolutionized society. People turn on autopilot because they'd prefer to look at their phone instead of drive.

It's on some of my more expensive equipment, so I figured it was just a cost saving.
As to hard figuring out what the most important thing to work on is:

I have some code on Github and got a change request. I just replied that I can do it for my currently hourly rate. That makes priorities clear.
Nope, not going to play this ridiculous game. And this is a game. I don’t know how or why the modern left started employing the rhetorical tactics mastered by Lenin but here we are.
Does your HDMI cable also have "lags and disconnects"? I mean, when you have hardware compression (presumably?), it's not all that different to send it over HDMI than ethernet.

Compression latency should be in low milliseconds (1 ms should be plenty.) The latency over ethernet is going to be measured in hundreds of microseconds. Sending a compressed 100 kB frame over it takes 800 microseconds, which can partially overlap with compression. Noticing 2-3 milliseconds extra latency is going to be pretty hard.

Something is badly wrong with your setup or with Steam Link.
Exactly. The parent casually asserts a difference in a measurement that doesn’t apply to humans. We can’t usually
disengage to a safety driver. The comparison is not meaningful.
I disagree on this as a goal.
Some things take generations: my great-grandparents had a good standing back in pre-war Europe. Then the war came and my grandparents escaped to South America - not great. My parents got up to high school level education. I got a B.Sc. Maybe my kid will go farther.

Play with the cards you were dealt.
Like when a trans mma fighter smashed her opponents skull in. Literally.
If this score was unrealistically perfect and able to accurately account for every possible detail, maybe. If instead it just does a cheap job of assuming anyone with a certain set of data points is at a major disadvantage, nope.

The test claims to be measuring a students ability to learn in the first place, not just their current knowledge, so why not aim to make that more accurate instead of bypassing it?
Interesting but not unexpected.

You basically have to close up shop.

Otherwise, the negative vitriol/etc of people who won't accept that is amazingly overwhelming.

Put another way, imagine, in a housing thread on HN, any time someone says "yeah, but i'm just happy to have my town stay the way it is. We don't want growth, we are happy, and we should be allowed to have that choice", what the response is.

While different situations for sure, it's the same type of response you get when you say "yeah, i'm happy with my open source project the way it is, sorry".
Last time FB recruiters wrote to me on LinkedIn I told them I'm not interested in working for a scandal factory.

> The "you're being unfair to Tesla because you aren't complaining about other automakers" meme has to die

I too am tired of people misdirecting conversations. Maybe it's our attention deficit culture, or maybe it's whataboutism spread by masters of the game such as China.

Why does everything need to be on the same level? I can criticize Tesla for one thing, and another company for another.
>There are plenty of publicly leaked hash tables running MD5 and the like.

Not related to stackoverflow though.

>You need a reused password from a weak one.

If the weak password is already public, what is gained by finding out that it's a weak password in a strong DB? You've just described a dictionary attack.
Nice post, but some code examples would have helped to clarify even further the concepts, especially for newbies
Hey nice! I was not expecting to click that and get a working page without JS!
Step 1: identify where stopped objects are relative to the sensor

Step 2: if stopped object is immediately not in front of the car, otherwise, ANALYZE IMMEDIATELY because a stopped object is right in front of the car.

It's not rocket science, and it's something so ridiculously basic that Tesla's failure to do something this simple borders of gross criminal negligence. It's something their competitors already do; in fact Waymo's problem is that it's too sensitive to stopped objects in front of the vehicle, hence the Waymo's constantly stopping and starting or driving very slowly...but that's the better and safer way to do it, especially when you're testing on real streets with third-party vehicles.
That is for spreading it. As far as I know with depression and anxiety you just sit alone in a corner of the class without anyone (but it isn't contagious)

If the statistics showed that autopilot was safer than humans driving modern luxury sport sedans on the highway, then Elon would be blasting that out. So now drivers have to share the road with level 2 self driving cars sold to lay people as something more.
So if you make $125k/yr and I make $75k/yr, equality can only exist if you give me 25k? Should America all just average our salaries and call it a day?
Funny how from "All to Medium, ditch WordPress and personal blogs" now people want to go the way around because of metered views and other limitations imposed by Medium popularity.

I say it since ever: own your own content.
You missed an option C: forgive the debt (like default but less consequences) but keep companies and people accountable for externalities with really tight control.
The system is pre-rigged against:

• People of color
• LGBTQ
• Lower-than-upper-middle-class
• Divorced and/or single-parent homes
• Rural families

You talk about the decisions you made. The fact that you even had a choice is a privilege denied to many. For each of the above that you didn't have to overcome, that's a way the system is rigged in your favor. Your children won't be disadvantaged in any way, and you're free to spend your resources to ensure their maximum opportunity.

Take a break from your "I gotta get mine before anyone else gets any!" attitude, and walk a mile in my shoes.
Getting Started with Open Source
i'd actually say that's an argument against having an 'adversity score' - a single value simply isn't enough to capture the nuances of your situation, and having a standardized score might pressure colleges to rely more heavily on those values.

specifically for your example, there doesn't seem to be any factor in the score calculation that takes into account 'distance from school,' while 'quality of high school' does play a role. so it's quite possible that since your high school did better overall (i.e. serviced 'wealthier' kids, skewing the score), your score would look better than things actually were.
you are not alone and I can definitely relate. 12 years ago FB was such a different place as I remember it. It was thriving and everybody was having a good time on it.

I recently joined Facebook again for my small side biz and immediately I get Friend Adds from Korean call girls and weird chinese gambling sites. It's great that a province in India likes my content so much but not exactly a target market. Then I get weird messages from people telling me about their life situation.

What's most striking is the seemingly absent moderation, its like sometime in the past 12 years, theres nobody at the driver wheel, that "vacancy" despite the huge number of people on the platform, feels so familiar, literally the exact same vibe I got from MySpace, then it hit me, Facebook has been in MySpace stage for at least a year.

In addition, the political image of FB and Mark Cuckerberg has certainly taken a nose dive. I can't believe he still thinks people are going to vote for him. It's arrogance, and the organizations are largely a reflection of its founders, and it shows.

Tl;dr: joined FB as a small biz, gets immediately spammed, reminded of MySpace.
Really?

FAANG's hiring processes are so arbitrary and non-repeatable that it's entirely possible (even likely, I suspect) for a person to have offers from just one of these. Other than Amazon, an offer from these companies is practically a lottery ticket.

But it's not systemic oppression. The system doesn't try to keep poor people poor or uneducated. Do poor people have it harder? Yes, but they have many of the same opportunities available to them. The modern world is rich in information that is freely taught. College is signaling in large part, but there are plenty of opprobrious right now where skill beats signaling.
Yes. Remember that in the earlies a lot of sites had web ring links at the bottom of the page? Wondering why this has not made a comeback yet. Maybe instead of static linking web ring 2.0 could utilize activity pub to highlight relevant fresh content from other sites in the ring.
Does anyone honestly believe the only way to provide that advantage is to fake their score? That kind of lazy thinking is what needs an adversity score to be considered good.
That is similar to the stupid IANAL preface people insist on including. Quite frankly you can literally make a post stating you are a lawyer and the following is legal advice and there would not be a single repercussion.
Is it just me or are the final results (Translatotron translation) not playable, while the initial audio samples work fine?
Cloudron 4.0 – Improved Mailserver and website hosting
The underlying problem is that we're trying to ration something that shouldn't be this scarce.

If everybody wants to go to Harvard then why can't they expand the school and accept more students?

Because the same brand of metrics trolls who are screwing this up have also screwed up in the school rankings by making schools rank better if they reject more applicants, so now the schools optimize for that.
Android. Subscribed. I have some servers that self monitor their mail queue with a simple bash watchdog script. Unfortunately the only notification method I have is... email. This will be a great way to get notifications for the servers. I can see some basic bash stuff coming that'll help me out without having to go full-out nagios for 4 small web server VPSs.
That kinda sounds like an endorsement for Rust. Or they couldn't come up with anything better.
I guess that means it'll give the truly wealthy, who can afford such shenanigans, an advantage over the decently well off. Fascinating.
CA has a 2/3rd threshold for passing many bills, especially bills affecting taxes, and until recently Republicans had just enough seats to block such bills. They only fell below that threshold within the past few years.

So yes, until recently CA was a dual-party state in the way that actually matters.

By the time you hit the SAT it's too late. If you aren't qualified enough to do well on the SAT then, you are going to struggle and hold classmates back more-so than the peer you displaced would have.

Offer free additional after-school programs, etc in high school to solve the problem. You don't make a slow runner faster by moving the finish line closer for him/her.
A timely commit, because at this rate Fb will soon be just as cool to work for as big tobacco and bragging about all the awesome "cancer-causing" projects will be kinda awkward.
This is about surrender responsibility to a piece of software and trust it 100% with your life and/or your family members lives or take responsibility and engage in driving the car. The news, and legitimately so, are covering the unusual - surrender your abilities, judgments and consequently and directly your life, to faulty saftware and hardware.
This is the same philosophy that led to the bank crysis in 2009. Banks were saying that it's not their fault; rather the government was at fault with its lax regulations.
> Sometimes I believe that software, while great, will never be huge like writing a book that will survive for centuries. Note because it is not as great per-se, but because as a side effect it is also useful… and will be replaced when something more useful is around.

That's an interesting point and thought experiment: what piece of software currently exists that will still be widely used in a century? And what's the oldest software that's still being used currently?
From what I understand, many systems do not choose to implement strong hashing algos.
This really cries for Elon, cutting out the expensive middle men. Wonder if he dares.
True, but usually just the weight of your arms applied on the hand is enough to issue micro-turns to the wheel.

I believe the detection relies on torque + angular position (the model S manual says it will sense resistance to wheel motion as well as motion itself), and the latter should be more more sensible because those mechanisms are usually made of encoder-motor-high ratio transmission-load, so a small turn on the load gets multiplied 10-100 times by the transmission before being sensed by the encoder.

I guess the lack of precision comes from Tesla wanting to avoid false positives
I'm curious what your domain is and what tech you've been using?

Every Linux shop I've worked in 10+ years has used NFS without any word of an alternative. The few places I've worked that mixed NFS with SMB or exclusively used SMB I've had performance issues when jumping between the two (perhaps due to experience and configuration).

My work has mostly been in Linux shops with 10s-100s of workstations+servers. NFS was used for homedirs and shared data. Sometimes servers were hundreds of miles away.
If I made $125k a year, that'd be almost double my current salary. I could spare the $25k, then, if you were struggling.

Could you do the same in the reverse situation?
No, MD5 has about 18 bit collision strength. Combined with predictable salting practice, this is crackable with a calculator. Welcome to Merkle-Damgard construction allowing any prefix or suffix.

Given random salt (random placed or mixed) or HMAC, you have to use the more complex preimage attack at 123 bits.

This is crackable with a medium sized botnet or a supercomputer.

48 THash is an underestimate. Specialized hardware easily surpasses this, even FPGA does.

SHA1 salted is a tougher customer with 60-64 bit collision resistance meaning you probably cannot crack it with your calculator. However, it is still prone to length extension meaning predictable salting has this much strength.

- '-'---'---,---- '-'---'---,--- ...
Similar story here. And it's not just distributions. There are web dev shops out there that edit OSS to add some functionality without even bothering to change the version or the user facing information. It makes for plenty of head scratchers when their customers report a bug in a piece of software you wrote.
Sort of. If you opt out of their paywall nagware stuff your posts don’t appear anywhere on the site other than your own feed.

Technically you can opt out. Realistically if you do then you lose all of the benefits of being on medium
I mean if we reversed this plan and said students from rich areas get bonus points on their SATs, wouldn't poor areas call it an unfair attack? Does that somehow prove that rich kids are systemtically oppressed? This vague statement is not some kind of proof of oppression, it's just wordplay.
My mention of MD5 was just a benchmark reference.

I can see from the downvotes the very idea that it is in regular use as triggering for some folks—-but md5 and other weak hashing algos are not just in obscure anime forums but in systems everywhere.

“They don’t like to think it be like it is, but it do.”

And it isn’t about md5 hash rate it’s about the ease of cracking in general due to low cost of compute.

If the SO password hash has leaked even in bcrypt its going to be attacked and many strong passwords will be broken. If they are reused elsewhere, important email addresses will be attempted elsewhere.

Don’t reuse passwords.
But you don't really own your WordPress. No way to get around using their services if you want to have proper spam filtering.
RCs are a pretty common name, even among academics, at least in neurobiology (though it’s for sure recognized as “speaking in dialect/slang” as some would say... e.g., not everyone would immediately know what you’re saying).

I do agree that “compounds” or 5-HT agonists, or whatever are far more neutral (if overly broad) terms and those should be used if you’re being careful (perhaps with some added description).
Did you even read the comment? Child of immigrant barely in middle class is not privilege.
Option C is a moral hazard and is fundamentally unfair. If everybody gets a UBI and people in debt use that to pay it off, people not in debt still get the same amount of money. Loan forgiveness is wrong because it doesn't work that way.

If you paid your student loans and I didn't because I decided to buy a Tesla instead, should I have my loans forgiven when you had to pay yours? If I bought a house on credit while you rent an apartment, I get my mortgage forgiven but you have to keep paying rent? If I bought a million dollar house I couldn't afford and you bought a $250K house you could, I get rewarded for living beyond my means?

Give everybody the same amount in cash.

I'm late to the party, but I think this is a good first step towards actually prioritizing/penalizing around class, instead of using race as a proxy for it.

I've always felt that it was completely ridiculous that a Laotian student from a low-income family would be penalized under modern American systems when competing against an African-American student whose parents are both doctors/lawyers/engineers, and surpass the aforementioned family's income by 10x or more.
This sounds like legal advice - are you a lawyer :)
I haven't checked in a while, what's the cost of cracking a single salted password that is stored properly, e.g. with pbkdf2 or bcrypt or whatever is currently state of the art?
