From a pedagogical standpoint, it's a shame we've effectively lost self-modifying code. It's a very good way to show students that everything the computer does is driven by data, and the only difference between "code" and "data" is interpretation; this is the heart of the stored-program computer, as opposed to things like plugboard systems or adding machines, where the instructions were in hardware and were, therefore, a different kind of thing from the data.

It's also a good introduction to pipelines and caches, when some bright spark tries to modify the next instruction and it "doesn't take" in the way the student expects.

They had the chance to price data with some relation to their costs and instead chose to squeeze a few customers while providing everyone inferior service.

Wireless still needs to have a price associated with usage; usage monopolizes a shared resource, EM spectrum, and there should be a cost for that.

For wired or fibre as the CEO of Sonic, Dane Jasper, has always said data is in reality mostly too cheap to bother metering.
It's a relatively new option. It may have actually not existed back when you signed up, or the rep just didn't know about it. Either way, I don't see why they'd want to hide it, because a consistent $50/month fee is much better than a large overage charge here and there that may or may not actually be paid.

I went desktop in 2017 (built it myself with parts from Microcenter) after 3 MacBook Pros had issues around the 3-4 year mark. Each of those were paid to be fixed by AppleCare or American Express, but having your primary work computer serviced with a 2-3 day delay was disruptive. Now I have my desktop and two working laptops (one of those being the aging and repaired MacBook Pro). Very happy that I can go and buy any part I might need to replace in this system locally and get back up and running quickly.

Seriously, the time of Physics and the Standard Model is passed. The few people of those generations who are still working on fundamental physics are indiscriminately bad communicators, lost in their thoughts, and slightly bitter because of the fruitlessness of their field in recent decades. There is a general lack of enthusiasm to communicate science with the public due to the lack of wholly interesting new stories to tell, and frankly, reciting how weird quantum physics is for the 10000000th time is no longer exciting. Biology has some interesting stories that i feel are not being told though.

I should explain ... the extent of my knowledge of data compression is pretty nil.

I could tell you how run length encoding works, but that's about it.

More than anything, it's a fantasy compression scheme.

I was originally inspired by rainbow tables (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table) . The idea would be some sort of compression where there would be a table of uncompressed data blobs that map to some sort of hash key. The compressed file would be a sequence of the key.

If you're reading this and you have a working knowledge of data compression, I imagine this is throwing off all sorts of red flags in your head. Feel free to explain why it wouldn't work.

Prepare for potential layoffs
Another thing I haven't seen mentioned here is that bosses will often try to slow down, stymie, or break up organizing drives by dragging out legal arguments at the labor board. This means arguing that the bargaining unit should be broken up, that certain employees are actually supervisors and shouldn't be included, that certain supervisors actually aren't and therefore _should_ be included in the vote, that the proposed bargaining unit is too small and should include more employees, etc. Typically you'll need a lawyer to navigate this process, lawyers are very expensive, and national/international unions have money.

Organizing a union is also fairly hard, and staff of established unions are more likely to have the skill set to teach you how to have convincing conversations with your co-workers, make sure they stick together, keep everybody from freaking out when the boss starts threatening to fire people, etc. It's also good to have them around to provide financial/legal support if the boss follows through on those threats.

>Although if instead of the verb "pray" you use the verb "worship", the distinction between ancient heroes/half gods and modern day super heros becomes much smaller.

It doesn't. No one is actually worshipping modern superheroes. No one believes superheroes actually exist, or ever existed, and can intercede on their behalf they way they might angels or other deities.
You might be able to start with a much smaller starting state. Like the R pentomino starts with a tiny starting state and runs for a very long time before entering a quiescent state. So your encoding scheme could be just enough info to say "a grid with dimensions h_0 by w_0 filled with bit pattern b_0, run for n generations, then take the bit pattern b_n from the cells in the rectangle with dimensions h_n by w_n with top left corner at x_n y_n from our initial top left corner." As long as h_0 times w_0 is pretty small compared to h_n by w_n you'll come out with compression.

It should possible in principle to create a "printer" in Life that constructs a rectangular region filled with repeated stable objects (like blocks) or nothing, or some dithered density. If you are ok that it could never reach better than 50% density, you could encode your arbitrary image into an incoming stream (say, of gliders) that program the printer to make an arbitrary image. Similar to the way Von Neumann's self-reproducing cellular automaton produces itself from a "tape" of cells.

Have you considered using kratom to assist with weaning or helping with withdrawl symptoms?
Completely disagree. They aren't miners working in horrible conditions where that's the only job in town. Game developers are highly talented, skilled individuals. There is a high demand for such people outside the game industry they choose to stay there. I'm a developer in the finance industry. Worked in a few other sectors too. If games industry is harsh, jump ship. Abused? Get real, the working populations outside the western world are abused and with little choice (and a lot of people in the west lower down the food chain). I think it's insulting to to people with limited options no money to lump games devs in with them. Personally speaking, last thing I'd want in software industry is a Union. Graded pay scales that take no account of productivity variability is a sure fire way to kill an industry. We re a privileged bunch as developers.
It's a terrible situation to be in. The correct answer to this is, by definition, thinking about User Experience. But unless it's actually rigorous it's just as bad, or worse, than not having it.

I use Expensify at work. It's clear that thee UX team consider a 'cutesy' UI to be a higher priority than a functional user experience.

Many workflows are horribly broken (race conditions, dialogs with missing pieces, broken links). And it's CRUD for expenses, how hard can it be?

And then infantile messages like "whoops! Looks like something's up with xyz" and emojis everywhere. Messages like "relax, your expenses are done" with hammock pictures. It's infuriating after I took hours to input a dozen receipts.

I'd rather have a precise functioning tool. Tell me which receipts had which issues, or what needs my attention.

I'm all for minimising human discomfort, but sometimes the cure is worse than the disease!

> if it turns out that SHA-512 isn't collision resistant, you have much bigger problems

Ehhh.. collision resistance is a much harder property than second-preimage resistance, and many protocols don't have strong dependencies on collision resistance. Narrow-ish pipe MD style hash functions are particularly brittle against collisions, since finding one collision immediately gives you an infinite family of collisions.

You could preserve most of the protection against collision resistance with the two layer hashing by having a signer specified nonce at the interior hash. The token couldn't validate that the nonce matched the one it specified, but an attack would require the host be compromised as well. If the nonce was a hash of the EdDSA R value and checked by verifiers too then the fact that the token can't check wouldn't be a problem.

Alternatively, if the inner hash were a tree-structured hash, the token could validate the inner-hash nonce directly. (though depending on the tree, doing it that way might weaken the collision protection).

Regardless, it's not strictly necessary to lose that protection just to enable blind-signing-tokens.
I don't know if there's value in arguing the semantics, but there was the War on Poverty (President Lyndon B. Johnson) and the War on Drugs (President Richard Nixon), neither of which sets a precedent which bodes well for our current situation, imo.
I think rather than using an online game as a gateway, using something like GitHub would be more censorship proof. Even if it's just text links only and larger content is hosted elsewhere the government would severely impact software companies by blocking GitHub.

This is the old way to play Angband, and consensus on the forums is that it's incorrect (not to mention extremely boring).

Rather, you want to dive as deep as possible, pick your battles very carefully, and get loot off the ground or from occasional fightable monsters. Hilariously, people have found that Ironman play (never leaving the dungeon, and always descending) is easier because it forces you to play like this.

When grinding, you will still run into out-of-depth monsters that will wreck you, so there is no way to play the game safe.
That seems optimistic considering it's been months getting to this point and we're not even at the peak of anything.

We simply can,t be responsible for all the empathy required.

Here's my takes on this:

> The System had sent an automated email now that some school administrator had signaled that my roommate would not be returning that semester.

That guy should have be aware of the implication of his actions and he should have been the one responsible to apply empathy in this case. It's not the responsibility of the software to be designed for empathy, all its does is execute preprogrammed actions to make life easier to the one responsible to do theses actions. If theses actions weren't the correct one based on a situation, then the one responsible to do them should do them, that's it.
I'm too young to remember Pearl Harbor, but 9/11 definitely had nothing to do with "steady, determined leadership."

what channel we in dawg?
It's handwavey because many of the details aren't known, but what is known is complex and can't really be fit into a HN comment. Also I'm condensing what I know from everything I've read about biology. It's not quite accurate to say that the "point" of the brain is plasticity, and we can tell this by looking at organisms with simple brains and examining what their brain is used for.

Worms use their brain to identify and manipulate objects, to taste objects if those objects are identified as food, and to sense aspects of their environment including temperature and humidity. Bees use their brains to see, to fly, to communicate directions, and to coordinate various behaviors with other bees. There is very little plasticity in these simple organisms: a bee that can't communicate will not find a different way to do so, it will simply die.

As animals get more complex we can see that plasticity becomes more important. A bird needs more complex processing to be able to adapt its hunting strategies for different environments. If environmental changes force a bird to move to a new habitat, we can hypothesize that they are smart enough to adapt their hunting strategies to the new habitat.

The evolution of humans has involved many factors that would favor this kind of plasticity: roaming over diverse landscapes, predator spotting, group hunting, tool use, language, and social communities. The resulting large cerebral cortex that we have from these evolutionary trends also gives us the ability to re-wire sensory pathways in the way you pointed out. But when I say "brain" I think of much more than just the cerebral cortex.
One of the things I noticed that you're offering is cloud storage for the last 7 days. If you're building a consumer facing product (vs. trying to have your technology/company integrated into one like Nest) I'd recommend exploring additional options here. Storage is so cheap and it always bums me out that the offerings are so bad or expensive. For example, I feel as though I should be able to hook up my blink, ring, etc. all into the same S3 bucket for my own long term storage.

Also - I don't see a privacy policy on your site. Are you using people's video to further enhance your models?

Mattan here (co-founder of Ophelia). We're certainly considering any options that are scientifically backed and evidence-based. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the standard in the medical community among addiction specialists and it's proven to be the most effective solution.

Kratom is certainly one of the solutions that people trying to overcome opioid addiction are resorting to, but it's unclear whether it's effective — not enough studies have been performed, and it's not an FDA-approved treatment for opioid use disorder. There's also some evidence to suggest that kratom actually leads to more health problems than it solves [1].

If every piece of hardware has the same label, that argument dries up and blows away.

If some piece of hardware doesn't have the label and later gets owned, the manufacturer will be held accountable. It would have to be, or else this is toothless. Since no manufacturer can predict which vulnerabilities may be discovered, and since legal teams are a cowardly and superstitious lot, every manufacturer will put the label on now to avoid any potential problems later.

gaming pc (even a used one). those things are fast and responsive which makes work faster. They are also quiet. Working on the desktop forces you NOT to take the laptop with you and lie around the house , which is a great way to separate work from the rest. Plus you have a workstation to run things you didnt want to run because they drain the battery.

As for the screen i prefer a single ultrawide instead of multiple dazzling and dizzying monitors, I don't need a suntan from my screens. The ability to work standing up is important. I 'm not partial to sit/stand desks because they are wobbly, prefer something like a board on top of the desk.

Also, there's no such thing as old laptop these days. they have not become meaningfully faster in 10 years.
