Think about it like this.

We have a couple of variables: the data pointer, the instruction pointer

The values of these are encrypted BUT we can change them by performing logical operations (AND, OR, XOR, etc) on them.

So a cycle of the VM asks

1. Is the current instruction the correct instruction?

2. Is the current data cell the correct data cell?

Obviously if we knew the value of the instruction pointer we could just go straight to the correct instruction, and if we knew the index of data cell I could go straight to it.

The problem is that we don't know either of these things. So we have to go to every instruction and every data cell and check if it's the correct one. If it is then we can perform the instruction, otherwise we move on.

You can see now why this would be slow too. It's even slower though because in order to do this "check" we have to execute logic gates and the gates can take ~0.8 seconds (on a somewhat modern CPU).
Yep.

Sad, though. So much wasted money just to make us mad.

Skyryse raises $13M to launch an autonomous helicopter platform
Thanks for the clarification; I don't work for the airlines so I wasn't aware of the sim time requirements.
No, history has shown about 95% of the time employers prevail in actions like this. The burden of proof is really high for the employee, and the company has plenty of money for lawyers. It can simply run out the clock too. So yeah, 23 years from now after the ex-engineer spends 2.6 million on legal fees, she might win her job back and lost wages.

Furthermore, google has a really easy time with "selective enforcement" They can show that people violating security rules and abusing administrative rights are always fired. Now, she can argue she didn't do this, but because of the nature of our legal system, it will be extremely hard to explain. I main, disgruntled employee abusing security? Whoever heard of such a thing. The civil judge will probably help google refer her to the FBI!

Well, yes. You don't need a study to prove the headline, the company itself owns patents in which it states that the goal of the product is to mimic the psychopharmacology of regular cigarettes. If the thing works like a cigarette it's no surprise at all that people would get as addicted as to regular cigarettes.

Multi-cloud is a stupid idea. You absolutely should get locked into a single cloud vendor and leverage the shit out of everything they offer.

Somebody else said it best. People go to the cloud not to escape the hardware, it is to escape all the people who administrate the hardware. Truer words have never been spoken. Escaping all the gatekeepers of traditional setups adds significant value to a company.

I am all for archiving important web content, but imo most of the web content is not important and impossible to archive anyway. Too many pages use dynamic content which make web archives useless. Also having too much data just dilutes the useful stuff.

If you have useful content (the author should) store it in some other way. Put articles in any simple markup format like markdown in git, distribute videos using torrent and so on. For some types of content I couldn't think of a good solution yet. For examples JS games or applications should be in some self-contained single-file "web-executable" format. Images need to be embedded often, so torrent is not a good medium, but they don't belong in git also. So not really sure where to put them...

Also make sure to use standardized formats with proper structure. Browsers should remove quirk modes and flat out refuse to render anything which cannot be interpreted 100% unambiguously.

Webpages are always just a temporary distribution medium. They should never be the original storage place.

Sorry if all of that sounded a little bit rant-y, but I think the current web is a very bad state.
Well...not to excuse the poor decisions that lead to the problems with the MAX, but this arguably isn't one of them.

The situation of Boeing is that they've boxed themselves into a corner from an engineering and regulatory viewpoint. The plane could be made flyable with enough modifications - of course. But those modifications are supposed to meet regulatory constraints AND the FAA is facing heat for letting them get away with what they got away with.

But with enough pressure, sure, the FAA may approve WTF Boeing does to make the plane work. But then, there's a big spotlight on this stuff and there are a lot of people saying right they'll never fly an 737 MAX ever again. Sometimes bad publicity can distracted or waited out but I don't see this as possible now - the story too photogenic, Boeing can't wait years. Just as much, the world's regulatory agencies aren't necessarily deferring to the FAA any more after this.

So this looks really bad for Boeing.
My only direct experience with Russia is a month during the summer of 1990. Walking around the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg, almost every street corner a small table set up, someone selling old books they had kept hidden for decades. People crowding around, seeking words written before Stalinist purge.

Living with friends that summer, I would ask about these books (my grasp of Russian became sufficient to find my way around the organized city center, but I couldn't read much of the books, although some were engineering texts).

They would smile and say. "Well, we are re-writing history once again."

Noam Chomsky makes it abundantly clear that US culture is no different in regard to historical narrative. But I haven't had that pervasive sense that there is no such thing as a true story, not in the US, not until these past few years.
Just had a thought: is this part of the reason we sleep? Simulation of data to train our neural networks.

> Speaking of rounding errors, you shouldn't vote, either.

Quite a few philosophers of politics and radicals would agree with that statement; from SEP[0]:

>There is some debate among economists and political scientists over the precise way to calculate the probability that a vote will be decisive. Nevertheless, they generally agree that the probability that the modal individual voter in a typical election will break a tie is small, so small that the expected benefit (i.e., p[V(D)−V(R)]) of the modal vote for a good candidate is worth far less than a millionth of a penny (G. Brennan and Lomasky 1993: 56–7, 119). The most optimistic estimate in the literature claims that in a presidential election, an American voter could have as high as a 1 in 10 million chance of breaking a tie, but only if that voter lives in one of three or four “swing states,” and only if she votes for a major-party candidate (Edlin, Gelman, and Kaplan 2007).

Chances are, you can use the time to do other things, things that gain you more benefit than "a millionth of a penny" (if we must use the economism of time = money).

There are too few jobs now. Paul Krugman called it a "savings glut". There are no opportunities to invest the cash you are holding productively, consequently interest rates are low and the best thing you can do is buy back your own stock.
Yeah, I know about MCAS, and nothing I have found suggests the airplane is inherently unstable.

The trouble is that the defaults tend not to be the best fonts that are available, and very few users change them. I have changed them myself, but I don’t know of anyone else that has.

For myself, I wish that people would leave Arial, Verdana, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, &c. out of their sans-serif stack, having only their one preferred font and sans-serif, or better still sans-serif alone; but as a developer I understand exactly why they do it all.
HTML is a terrible authoring format. CSS is a terrible everything. If you want something to last, the thing that will last is the human-created source - probably markdown.

I'm not worried about my blog posts sitting in their git repository being lost. The Jekyll pipeline that adds a Javascript header/footer might go away, as might the Javascript that pretifies my raw posts, but the markdown is durable, and a future archivist could always regenerate a pretty version from the markdown - or even read the raw markdown.

Give browsers a good way to view markdown, give site creators a good way to link to canonical source for their pages, and then we'll have durable links.
I think this confuses me every time. Really one of the most prominent naming mistakes in tech I can think of.
I don't know, it seems to me like a search engine does aggregate customers. Aggregate means to put together, and having an easy way to search for the highest rate focuses the people who want that on whoever is at the top. Since there is predictably a pool of people like that, having them come together in some more explicit way wouldn't seem to add any value.

The highest rates are a lot higher than normal, (like 2%) and from banks that you wouldn't normally think of, so I don't understand where anything additional comes from. It seems like a projected free lunch from unspecified sources.
Governance doesn't preclude the organisation which pays for the developers to have them do something else.

Lest someone gets the wrong idea, Rust makes _mutable_ globals painful to work with; readonly is fine.

As for hardware DMA’able memory, it’s true that it adds friction to work with in Rust. But C or C++ would fall into the same boat - one would need to sprinkle volatile or atomics, as appropriate, to avoid the optimizer from interfering. In Rust, you’d need to do the same (ptr::{read,write}_volatile or its atomics).

I’m having a slightly hard time imagining a db where “most” of the address space is DMA’able. I’ve some experience with kernel bypass networking, which has its own NIC interactions wrt memory buffers, but applications built on top have plenty of heap that’s unshared with hardware. What’s an example db where most of the VA is accessible to hardware “arbitrarily”?

Also, regardless of how much VA is shared, there’s going to be some protocol that the software and hardware use to coordinate. The interesting bit here is whether Rust and its type system can allow for expressing these protocols such that violations are compile-time detectable (if not all, perhaps some). Any sane C++ code would similarly try to build some abstractions around this, but how well things can be encoded is up for debate.

When a typical Rust discussion ensues, it’s commonly implied (or occasionally made explicit) that “write X in Rust” == “write X in safe Rust”. And this is the right default. But I think any non-trivial system hyper optimized for performance will have a healthy amount of unsafe code. The more interesting question, to me at least, is how well can that unsafety (and the “hidden”-from-rustc protocol) be contained.

As for a db scheduler obviating the need for a compiler to arbitrate ownership, that’s certainly true to a degree. But, this comes back to the protocol I mentioned - the scheduler is what provided the protocol and so long as other components work via it, it can provide safety barriers (and allow for optimizations). But again, I don’t immediately see why Rust (with careful use of unsafe) couldn’t do the same. And afterall, everything is safe so long as things play by the (often unwritten or poorly so) rules. Once systems get big and hairy, it gets tougher to stay within the guardrails and that’s where getting assistance from your language/compiler can be very helpful.

Some of the Rust libs/frameworks for embedded/microcontrollers deal with hardware accessible memory and otherwise “unsafe” protocols, but I’ve seen some clever ways folks encode this using Rust’s type system.

You know, I your heart of hearts, you’re not going to generate a plan on this site and stick to it... but, likewise, you’ll remember roughly what the plan would have been, giving you a slightly better idea of the boundaries of a “good” diet and when you’re in which side of them. And that could add years to your life!

I have this problem. Some bits of history are gone except from old backups of profile directories and profiles where I've already set places.history.expiration.max_pages to some absurdly high number.

I need to do a handful of experiments to see exactly how this interacts with Sync, even though I've (foolishly) already synced the important profiles. I'd hope that the cloud copies of the places database just keeps growing, but in any case, I'd rather combine them all offline anyway.
>Let's be honest with ourselves. The best way to make your content last for a long time is to host it on a platform that is free and very successful. For example, whatever photos I posted on Facebook 12 years ago? Still alive and kicking. The articles I've published on wordpress.com 7 years ago? Still in mint condition, with 0 maintenance required.

You view on timeline is too short. We're not talking about keeping something online for 7 years, but for 70. If I had followed your advice a few years ago, I would have deployed on Geocities. Do you know what happened to those websites?

The question is, is wordpress going to be around in 70 years? No one knows. But that static HTML page will still render fine, even if it is running in a backward compatibility mode on your neurolink interface.
that's the plan hopefully if they keep going

The author miss-understands how simulated data is created by GANS, VAEs, and other non-physics based simulations. Let's say you have a dataset and would like to create synthetic data using it and a GAN. Then you wish to estimate the distribution D of the data with a GAN. To do so the GAN learns the joint distribution P(X1, X2, ..., Xn) (where in the image case each X is usually a pixel) such that one may sample from D and obtain a new, synthetic image. Indeed, one will generate novel data but the distribution D that was estimated is merely a description of the original data at best and in practice a little bit (or a lot) off.

Now turn to the machine learning problem we sought to solve with the new synthetic data: what is the P(y|X1, X2, ..., Xn) where y is usually a class like "bird". In other words given an image predict its label. Since the data was generated knowing only the statistics of the original data, it can add no value beyond plausible examples developed using the original data itself.

Will this improve the accuracy of a model by providing additional edge case examples and filling in gaps? Somewhat. Will it understand data not represented by the original data and substitute for more thorough, diverse datasets? Absolutely not.

In terms of model improvement, yes synthetic data can help. In terms of the arms race? No. True examples provide knowledge that is unique. If one used a physics engine (GTA is popular for self-drivings cars) one can gather truly novel data; this is not the case for GANS.

It's concerning how willing people are to write articles on this subject without understanding the mathematics underlying the technology.

After rereading what I wrote I realize I made a mistake. It is about spiking your blood sugar which fast carbs do that leads to premature hunger. If you haven't filled your glycogen reserves you avoid the insulin spike, and if they are full the insulin spike is likely causing metabolic damage on top of the future needless hunger. Regarding the protein I swear I've seen low carb studies somewhere that did not improve diabetic conditions but they were all super high in protein. True moderate protein keto seems to be getting rid of at least pre diabetic conditions.

The issues outlined here are one of the reasons that I am moving as many of my workflows to org-mode as possible. Everything is text. Any fancy bits that you need can also be text, and then you tangle and publish to whatever fancy viewing tool comes along in the future.

I don't have a workflow for scraping and archiving snapshots of external links, but if someone hasn't already developed one for org I would be very surprised.

In another context I suggested to the hypothes.is team that they should automatically submit any annotated web page to the internet archive, so that there would always be a snapshot of the content that was annotated, not sure whether that came to fruition.

In yet another context I help maintain a persistent identifier system, and let me tell you, my hatred for the URI spec for its fundamental failure to function as a time invariant identifier system is hard to describe in a brief amount of time. The problem is particularly acute for scholarly work, where under absolutely no circumstances should people be using URIs or URLs to reference anything on the web at all. There must be some institution that maintains something like the URN layer. We aren't there yet, but maybe we are moving quickly enough that only one generation worth of work will vanish into the mists.

The major difference between midterms and election (whether 2016 or 2020) is that Trump himself wasn’t on the ballot to drive turnout. In fact, it’s not unusual at all for midterms to swing away from the incumbent’s party, like they did in 2018.

I don’t want to get too much into political speculation on HN, but Trump is a big turnout driver due to the enthusiasm of his base. If the democratic nominee comes from the current candidates, and something crazy doesn’t happen vis a vis a brokered convention or economic recession, I’d say Trump will probably be re-elected. It will be due primarily to that enthusiasm, but also to independents who may not like the guy, but are happy with the economy and scared of/angry at the Democratic Party.

According to most oddsmakers, Trump is currently the favorite to win. Granted that may change when the Democrats select a candidate.
