I think if you can enforce that the user will resynthesize the design on his own, and you make sure the synthesis/placement is different, you are way ahead of any other AISC alternative in terms of trust.
DrRacket is amazing.
for me the key lies in the experiment. only by generating new data through new experiments, do we receive robust theories. otherwise we overfit to whatever data is at hand. hence why we need cross validation when working with canned data.
A charity that spends a sliver of its money on those it purports to serve
Once I was watching the news, probably back in the 70s - the reporter was Peter Jennings, and he saying that the Soviets had created an aquatic chicken with gills instead of lungs. Never any follow up, never any mention of it again. I’ve always wondered if the people at ABC News were just incredibly gullible, or if the government swooped in to suppress the story.

Uh, could you point out what part of that article you think supports your claim that "bullshit stories have benefit not just to one side but both sides of the relationship more often than not"? I just read it and didn't see anything that indicated that.

In the past few years I've worked pretty hard on building habits of honesty. Not from an ethical perspective--I'm an atheist and don't see any inherent reason to follow any prescriptive ideology--but from a self-benefit perspective. Cooperation is highly beneficial, moreso perhaps than at any time in history, and honesty allows a deeper level of cooperation with my peers. It's surprisingly difficult, as someone who viewed themselves initially as an already-honest person, but it yields major benefits. In the long term, I'm not even convinced that lying benefits the liar, let alone the person being lied to.
I don't see how these get past the limitations of assembly (and C) language mentioned in the post above. None of those links seem to indicate anything about exposing the cache hierarchy or out of order execution to developers.
Then why have my dentists over the past decades always asked me how much I floss (I don't) instead of giving me increasingly severe warnings about my tooth damage due to lack of flossing?
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Still, my point was that automobiles exist alongside people within cities, in near proximity. A diesel truck driving down my street is probably going to expose me to more harmful pollution than a cruise ship passing by 10 miles from me.

So I guess to make my point another way: if you could trace the damage done to individuals in cities, I think the bigger fish to fry would be automobiles.

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to discount any claims that cruise ships are causing unnecessary outsized pollution. Airplanes also cause a significant amount of pollution, but for some reason society generally accepts air travel because it's fashionable.
> GoAccess is great and all, but static log analyzation =/= Google Analytics

True, but this has some advantages as well - GoAccess logs _all_ requests, even when you disable JavaScript an/or use ad blockers. For my blog, I don't care about extensive tracking capabilities. I just want to know what posts are most popular and roughly how much traffic I get. YMMV of course, especially for web applications.

Very interesting mechanism.
Agreed, but, perhaps, as a management strategy, it may help some teams transition. Since after all, for folks with careers in manual provisioning, devops truly is a new frame of mind.. swapping words in titles around is just part of operations development? :)
You should be asking for the study that proves flossing is beneficial.

Maybe people shouldn’t get stuck up that much about words. Unfortunately they are so it’s smart to attach yourself to the currently fashionable title. If you do something with dev tools call yourself “devops”. If you run a few database queries better call yourself “data scientist “. And if your current buzzword falls out of favor then don’t change your work but find a new fashionable label.

It’s an unfortunate state of the industry that we put value and prestige into ill defined labels.

A good seminar is 16 people (max, 12 is better). No hand raising needed. The goal is learning and understanding. Ideally there’s not any grades. If there are they should be opaque and subjective up to the instructor :)
Wow. I had heard of teratomic tumors growing hair or teeth in women around the ovaries, but never in men.
Nerves in teeth could be considered a bug and not a feature. The sensations you want (chewing food) transmit mechanically through the jaw. The sensations that the tooth's nerve generate are unpleasant ones - extreme heat, cold, pain, sensitivity.
IMO #1 is the Hard Problem. #2 seems, to me, like a minuscule fraction of the effort. In this day & age, with modern tooling, something similar to a Spartan 3E I would think could be done practically by a one-man team. The only obstacle would be money for the masks.
Agreed. [A-Za-z] are all the icons I need.
Don't floss for a month and see how well saliva is at breaking down the food between your teeth.

There are lots of mechanisms your body has that are adequate enough to get you to puberty, so you can reproduce.

If you want better than adequate, you should floss.
Great reference! But I feel that's not exactly what Ecclesiastes means .. because it seems you ignore the context and the rest of the Bible in this hypothesis:

meaningless, vanity, this is what life without God, life focused only on the material, physical reality "under the sun" looks like: “1:14 I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.".

That's what focusing on the temporary leads to.

And even opening the New Testament, you can see Corinthians 4:18 "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

The message of the gospel is full with hope: it doesn't teach that "There is no point to life." and that life itself is meaningless .. as what is temporary, is not the important part of life at all.

In this sense, most jobs is often focused on the temporary and we shouldn't idolize them, as it's sadly easy to addict to work. And of course: I think it's great to enjoy your job and to find fun in it, but to keep in mind it's just one aspect of earthly life, and not an ultimate goal. It's not something to "obsess" on. And "accomplishments" are a very subjective thing.

But that would automatically limit the deployment to a very, very small portion of the public, those tech savvy enough to do that. A few thousand to tens of thousands of people worldwide. Unless they would become ambassadors of sort - and assuming anybody else would even care - that would still leave the rest wide open.

Cracking that is a difficult problem, you would have non-tech savvy consumers who need - or at least, that's what we think, your average consumer doesn't care at all - to gain access to secure devices. It would require a very large, visible and super embarrassing event to change the typical 'privacy is dead, get over it' mindset to switch to 'give me that secure hardware'.

Right now the only people who would be interested are those that rightfully have something to fear from nation state level actors (spies, dissidents, politicians, would-be whistleblowers). And using a device like this would make them stand out like sore thumbs.
You aren't contradicting parent poster. Snopes conformed that flossing is backed only by the speculation and comical bias of dentists who don't collect data careful. (Healthy gums are assumed to be evidence for flossing, therefore flossing is confused to be evidence for healthy gums).
In my experience there are those who are so set in their views that the mere suggestion of grey thinking infuriates them. Thank you for posting this, it's helpful to have a definition for what I'd like to think I've adopted as my way of thinking.
Glad it's working out for you! I tried IF a couple years ago, for a 4 month period. After an adjustment period of about 2 weeks, which included short periods of intense hunger and mild head aches, I felt great! I wasn't in bad shape before the IF, so I only lost about 6lbs/3kg, but my energy levels where much more consistent throughout the day, focus was easier to achieve and maintain, and I just had a joie de vivre.

Like you, I started off with a wider eating window, of about 4 hours, and I started without really caring what I ate. But I slowly reduced the window to about 1-2 hours and a strange thing happened. Avoiding unhealthy food became a very easy act of will. Maybe it was just the realization that the only thing I was putting in my body for the entire day, the only thing that it would use to repair and refuel itself, was what I was eating at that very moment.

I've never really had New Year's resolutions, but this December I've been slowly weaning myself off my morning coffee, anticipating an early January start to my new IF schedule! I'm also really excited to continue this experiment to see where it goes!

GSK3 inhibitors are interesting, but we don't understand much the subtypes that are likely to exist: "GSK-3 appears to both promote and inhibit apoptosis, and this regulation varies depending on the specific molecular and cellular context."

Still, I believe better GSK3i will find a role in autologous bone-marrow grafting therapies to fight senescence: with TERC/TERT overexpression (the opposite of DeGrey WILT ideas) to send new stem cells to the tissues - just like how you can find the donors chromosomes in most tissues of grafted patient.
During a CC certification, the design-house, mask shop, and fab are certified to reduce the chances of the chip being tampered. The certification ensures that all those places have decent security practices and protocols. It helps but is quite far from completely mitigating it.

I don't have any reference of a mask being modified to give to you, but it is so easy to do it that we don't actually need evidences to be worried.

If you think about it, just by changing implantation parameters on the transistors that form a ring oscillator for generating random numbers can bias it (this does not require not even modifying the mask).
>The language hasn't evolved for the same reason a transistor hasn't evolved: because it didn't need to.

That's what you think. Transistors have evolved a lot, as have programming languages.

Eliezer Yudkowsky wrote a lot about (many things, including) refining the scientific method in Rationality [0]. IIRC, his point is that the scientific method puts no constraints on what hypotheses you test. He thinks a more orderly search of hypothesis space is preferable.

They are slowly scaling the event up. Hamburg were 15k people. Last year was 18k. But they are careful to scale it slowly so that things dont collapse.
>C has not evolved

Well, it has, in a way: see the latest C standard and compare it with the Kerninghan&Ritchie edition.
I have actually repeatedly heard the same complaint from professors. They don't want to read a bunch of 20 page papers when the standard in the field for (technical) publications is like 4. So they put maximum page limits on, which makes vastly more sense all around.

Maybe in philosophy it's necessary because the standard media is books or long essays so making sure you can play the "game of bullshitting" is a useful vocational skill in that field, to make your text long enough for people to buy your book.

No offense intended to philosophers, I love philosophy. But practical considerations like earning a living from a philosophy degree are perhaps different. It's kind of hard to sum up a new philosophical treatise in four pages since you'd probably take that long just to define your version of what "good" means.
It is comparatively easier to reason about C than other languages that are as useful (meaning the number and quality of libraries, portability) as C.

This doesn’t ring true to me. As a bread baker I’ll just do the same recipe 1000 times, watching YouTube videos week after week, practicing different techniques, seeing if tiny variations in technique, weather, etc, affect the end product.

That’s completely different from cooking, which is about learning to Google, evaluating whether to trust a recipe, menu planning, seasonal ingredient management, knowing the personalities of the people you’re cooking for, understanding a wide range of cuisines... it feels like a fully different activity.

And being able to follow the recipe isn’t really the key to either. It’s the price of admission.
In spirit of this article, I wonder why grey thinking is so uncommon. I get it’s hard but it feels like it’s only hard because it’s uncommon. When did removing nuance become such a common way of upbringing? What’s the driving force behind removing nuance?

Curious what the HackerNews community thinks.
I call it keeping an open mind and try to be empathetic, but it does feel like sailing in the wind at times.

I think people in general tend to avoid that kind of uncertainty in their life.
Nothing wrong with elaborating on a true thing to educate people. Leagues ahead of the usual fare, elaborations on opinions, exaggerations, and false statements.

Ah yes, that makes good sense. I once built a hardware RNG and it was surprisingly hard to keep it stable over the longer term to satisfy the certification criteria. In the end I managed but it was a lot of analog voodoo and I can see how easy it would be to tamper with that in a way that would not be detectable unless you monitored the device continuously.

RNGs are a weak spot. Thank you for that example.

He was far above the bar. From Wikipedia:

> Privacy laws that remove freedom and opportunity aren't very good laws.

All laws remove somebody's freedom and somebody's opportunity, so either this argument is flawed or it indicates that we shouldn't have any laws.

I'm not a maximalist in allowing people to choose everything—the very notion of inalienable rights indicates something that a person cannot give up, not even by choice—but, even if I were, the problem with the current model isn't that I don't like the particular trade-offs people are making (though I don't), but that people aren't aware of those trade-offs. That, and the unfortunate confluence of companies' lack of desire to educate customers and customers' lack of desire to be educated, means that we're not really in a situation of informed choice.

The trouble with Grey Thinking is that many people are just smart enough to convince themselves they are doing it, but not honest enough when reflecting on themselves to question whether they're making a genuine effort.

What has gone wrong with the recipes you’ve tried?
If I were in a meeting with you about what you were doing or could do for me or my company and you consistently replied with 'we can easily look that up' I would cease to work with you - I can hire other people that clearly don't know my business or what they are doing for cheaper.
There is a dark side to grey thinking:

Some people abandon black and white and replace it with a single shade of grey [1].

In order to have effective grey thinking, I think you need at least a basic understanding of statistics. This is also a great defense against others who seek to bamboozle you.

I’ve had a lot of success approaching America as a feudal society.

A lot of cognitive dissonance comes from an indoctrination of upwards mobility and democratic inclusiveness, which lets the underclass spend decades of their life rationalizing their cognitive dissonance when every archaic facet of American society sets them back. In feudal times the peasants at least knew they had no say in anything. It doesn't matter now that its not just landowners who can vote, when only the lords and baron’s social causes are the ones that become law.

I can accept that and entertain the lords directly. It isn't inclusive and not everyone can do it. This is congruent with the history of the world, I’m fine with that.

I really think this inequality is caused by technology.

Generally throughout history, investment in technology helped the bourgeois factory owners reduce their manual labor costs. Think about advancement in factory automation replacing workers.

Now instead of replacing factory workers, we're replacing (or supplementing) knowledge workers with more technology, and again the bourgeois benefits more than the workers do.

The pro-capitalist counter-arguement to this is "when the economy shifts, manual factory jobs move to automation maintenance and development" - i.e. who builds and fixes the robots?

A much smaller number of people have the ability to build & maintain automation systems, and typically these people are oppressed by the same power structure of inequalities. The bourgeois own the company that provides the automation, and the workers make tiny fractions of the profits. (Think Jeff Bezos money vs. Amazon software engineer money).

I'm not saying that people who create successful new companies shouldn't receive benefits. I'm saying that various American policy enforces the inequities.

E.g., healthcare and insurance is extremely expensive for start-ups. Much more affordable for big companies. As a worker, the healthcare costs may prevent my from being able to afford leaving my corporate job (and therefore, I will be stuck as a member of the proletariat forever).

And there are many policies and systems that oppress Americans. Student loans, bureaucracy, over-inflated housing markets, etc.
So far though, software has been the soft underbelly of secure systems. The hardware is assumed to be compromised at a level that is shockingly bad and nobody seems to care, we just accept it and move on (IME, PSP, TrustZone).
