I find it much less interesting than traditional photography where you only have very limited and indirect control.

If you ask the average person on the street to name a photographer, probably the only answer you'll get is Ansel Adams. He's best known for his stunning imagery of America's national parks. I don't think there's anyone who would claim that his portrayals of them are inaccurate in any way, certainly not that they're lies.

Yet Adams was a master of darkroom manipulation. Part of what makes his portfolio so striking is his deft use of techniques like dodging and burning. This is certainly a bolder manipulation that something like aperture. He was doing this on film in the early-to-mid 1900s, so I think it's safe to say that this recognized master of traditional photography was already extensively manipulating imagery in many of the same ways that the unaware are currently decrying.

Please refute his simulation argument and arguments related to AGI, then. I find pretty much everything he says to be supported and insightful. If so many intelligent people like and agree with him, maybe the issue is with your understanding of his arguments than with the arguments themselves.

How would one "con" so many intelligent people for so many years with purely logical arguments, exactly? An argument is either coherent and valid and sound or it isn't. There's no room for conning or personal charm or anything related to the person themselves.
If you return SameSite=None to Chrome 66, it ignores the cookie entirely. If you return SameSite=None to iOS 12, it treats it as SameSite=Strict. At the time each software was written, the behavior was blessed by the spec ("None" wasn't yet a valid value).

I just posted this on reddit, but I'm curious about Hacker News' take on it, so apologies for the cross-posting:

Can I ask an honest question? Shouldn't people be scared shitless of quantum computing?

If a single organization develops the ability to factor prime numbers at unheard-of speeds, doesn't this put in jeopardy the mathematical backbone of all encryption, and therefore don't they pose a threat to all financial institutions? Don't they then have the power to hold the world at ransom?

I don't mean this as a conspiracy theory -- I don't think an actual "event" is even necessary to pose such a threat. If it's proven that theoretically sound classical encryption can be theoretically cracked in record time by quantum computers, I am afraid of what will happen to the world financial markets due to panic. Nevermind the first time it is actually used to steal billions of dollars, or some other large-scale event.

I'm no expert on quantum computing, please enlightenment if indeed Shor's algorithm does not pose a threat to privacy or to the financial markets. It would help me sleep at night. For now, I do think the idea is not totally unfounded [1] and therefore quantum computing, for all the positives (eg fast solves for hard optimisation problems, which would have massive applicability), scares the living daylights out of me.

My grandparents escaped from the Holocaust. Why should anybody be polite to corporate agents of the Chinese government? What is with this obsession over "civility" when people are literally being shot in the streets, millions of Muslims are being put into death camps, and political prisoners are disappearing? There's no room for politeness towards anyone complicit in literal genocide.

American CEOs working with the CCP don't want civility. They want subservience to a dictator in the name of their profits.

My guess would me as a sort of "signoff" from the person hosting the JSON that refl.me is approved to use their endpoint. It sidesteps a slew of abuse issues by either knowing it's a feed you own OR a feed you are re-hostings/proxying and so the liability rests with you.

In my mind it's in the same category as google throwing garbage or while(1){} loops at the start of their JSON responses to prevent XSS JSON reflection attacks. I know it's not the same thing at all but idk, thats what comes to mind for me.

At Sun we had a server with a flaky NIC with very high error rates, but worse, occasionally would introduce two one-bit errors in packets such that all the CRCs involved were defeated. This actually caused some version control history corruption. I forget the details though. Maybe some other ex-Sun'er can chime in with the details.
That sounds to me exactly like what he wants is a fair trial. The fact that the possibility doesn't exist under the current system is the larger point.

Contrary to popular sentiment, Meltdown is also not an Intel-unique bug, it also affected POWER and ARM processors.

AMD essentially got lucky on this one - their neural-network based branch predictor is difficult for an attacker to train to follow specific code paths, which is a necessary component of Meltdown/Spectre style attacks. Pretty much every other processor that does speculation is affected.

The potential for cache timing to serve as a side-channel leak was not widely appreciated in the industry, although it was theoretically described as far back as the early 90s.
I really hope 32c would work with my Zenith Extreme x399, and 64c with 8-channel TRX80/WRX80. So I could upgrade old TR with a 32c Zen 2-one and buy another 64c with 4TB ECC LRDIMM for some Machine Learning tasks. I am also fine if AMD decided to do 64c TR with Zen 3 only (4xSMT?). But based on Blur ad, I guess they are going to release 64c TR based on Zen 2 as well, just to completely obliterate Intel in HEDT, even if it costs $5000.
I am not saying to kill them. Just take a bit more caution with oneself. Obviously, drivers still need to pay attention as well.
Just a reminder that stocks move in relation to expectations and not relative to results. Bad results that are not as bad as expected results in the stock going up. Likewise good results that are not as good as expected results in the stock going down.

So the takeaway from the after hours trading is not necessarily these results are good in a vacuum, it is that people were surprised that the results were as good (or perhaps not as bad) as they are.

I inadvertently had this on a Sun. I was entering a new password from a remote terminal and accidentally hit a lower case letter where I wanted an upper case one. Reflexively I hit backspace, and the Sun used DEL, so it stored a ^H in the password. I was then unable to change it because while getty or login could handle it, passwd wouldn’t accept it as my existing password.

Boeing's assets would be sold and someone else would use them to service a market in need of competition. I can think of a few parties who I suspect would be interested. All you have to do is bar AirBus from purchasing those assets.

I doubt AirBus would want those assets anyways. It would make them an obvious monopoly and invite even more regulation than they're already facing.

Companies rarely outright disappear. They get absorbed and operate under new management.

I have no view on Tesla's stock or Ark for that matter, but Tesla was a 12.5% position on 9/30 for them, and and 11% position for them as of yesterday. Even if they think Tesla could go to $2000/share, it doesn't make sense from a risk management standpoint to carry a single position at a certain size, especially if there is a wide dispersion in potential outcomes.
If you Google image search for "early motorcycle" most things will look a lot like an ordinary bicycles. Some versions of the 1903 Peugeot, for instance, had pedals on a crank, and even those that didn't were pretty slender:

Two things:

1. It's extremely unlikely that this will happen overnight, and practical factoring is still pretty far away compared to today's quantum computing state.

2. There's work done on developing post-quantum-cryptography (which is in essence all cryptography that we believe cannot be broken by a QC). NIST, the US standardization organization, is currently running a competition for future standards. It has some challenges, but it's doable.

That still leaves the issue that past-time communication may be decrypted in the future. But other than that - we will almost certainly have alternatives when QC factoring becomes real.

Positive things are an improved cash flow and lower operational costs. Might be just in time for Tesla before the other car makers launch their models. It will be interesting to see how the race, building mass production capabilities vs. developing EV turns out.

Also increased deliveries is a good thing. Guess I have to read the whole thing tomorrow in detail.
No, Model X will remain as the larger and more expensive SUV. Model Y will be smaller, less expensive and compete in the "luxury crossover" segment (Mercedes GLA, BMW X3 etc)
More rounded front and more boat-tail rear. Small wheels and tires would help too. It would wind up looking 90s up front and 2000s hyper-miler out back. It would certainly not look how we expect a 2019 luxury car to look. When you're courting new car buyers with good credit you can't build something that's all function and no form.

And only a tiny fraction of adults in the US are on Twitter at all. That is why it's unnerving to see politicians and corporations so readily bend over backwards to appease Twitter.

Comcast also sees SNI in plain text, sees all the other connections to other IPs for 3rd party resources on that domain, also with SNI, and sizes of all the responses of course. And just the IP addresses and response sizes give enough information to figure out what domain is visited, never mind seeing it in plain text in SNI.
If you're thinking of pre-ordering Luminar 4, I'd strongly urge you to wait for actual reviews or try the demo yourself.

I purchased Luminar 3 and it was a sluggish, unstable mess, especially on Windows. They promised many features like a DAM, which was still missing features like the ability to edit metadata. But hey, it checked off the marketing checkbox, right?

They're prioritizing adding new features to generate publicity and hype while ignoring actual speed, stability, and usability.

Blizzard is a private company and if they want to moderate/censor certain content on their platforms it is totally up to them. This really isn't a free speech issue.

Just like how you can't post certain types of content on YouTube/Instagram/name your social media.
Generating C/C++ bindings in Rust is unfortunately still quite a hassle from my experience: Often C libraries end up with important functions as static inline in header files (these do not get translated automatically by bindgen). If the library uses the macro system to rename functions, these too won't show up as symbols in your library (so you'd have to manually define those names too). Then bindgen often pulls in too many dependencies and I end up manually white/blacklisting what symbols I want/don't want (and track changes through multiple versions). That being said, it's a hard problem and Rust has still one of the better toolings for FFI from what I've seen in other languages.
It's not the rate of drivers that kill pedestrians, as the title claims.

Even accidents/cars would satisfy the title. Those numbers you quote are just meaningless and should be ignored.
> The part that bothers me so much about this all is the sense of hopelessness it leaves. Why? Because 99.9% of people literally, actually, truly, genuinely Just Don't Care.

This doesn't bother me as much. It can be argued that the first step to the ineffectiveness of this analysis is our growing apathy towards its results as a society. I'm not saying the analysis itself will be wrong, I am saying its results will become less and less effective the more we ignore it akin to infomercials of the past. I know right now we all see what appears to be a seemingly obvious link from individual accuracy to susceptibility. Marketers sure count on that. But the latter will reduce over time as a peak of accuracy is neared as the effectiveness of targeting can't grow forever (and there will be value in marketing your company as one that doesn't track, albeit limited as a niche).

I do know I can't make people care nor can I ask them to not give up their info for something they want. I think it is a bit foolish to presume people should care as though something actively harmful is happening to them when such harm is subjective compared to the benefits.
What I look for most in documentation: examples.
As an outsider, looking in, I can confirm that the polarisation in American politics is steadily increasing. It's just a matter of reading the increasing intolerance in both the social media and the main-stream media.

Maybe Americans are too close and can't see the 'forest for the trees' but I feel things are heading to a climax.

The other problem is that the US is becoming extremely belligerent in its foreign policy, as it sees the rapidly approaching situation of losing its 'exceptional indispensability No.1 Position' to China.

In my humble opinion, it's a neck and neck race between a second American Civil War and a major International War as to which arrives first. I see one or the other (or even both) happening within the next two or three years.
