The Entropic Dynamics approach to Quantum Mechanics - Ariel Caticha - https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.04693

He wrote a monograph on the approach: "Entropic Inference and the Foundations of Physics" which should be available at https://www.albany.edu/physics/ACaticha-EIFP-book.pdf but that link doesn't work now. You can find it here: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsd...
I would say where stuff is closer together rather than when although I'm sure there is an element of when involved, also. Supermassive black holes are found at the centre of galaxies where there is a much higher density of matter to begin with.
The age old question: is it bad because there are bad actors involved or is it bad because it's new and cheap and the maker views security etc as a Nice to Have.

> I still use RSA mainly because Yubikey doesn't support them yet with OpenPGP keys.. I felt the increase in security usage was a worthy compromise to using RSA with a key length that's not yet broken.

I'm a bit late to this, sorry; one of my students let me know this thread existed!

I want to encourage you not to try to use this formula or anything like it to make concrete predictions. You are, unfortunately, right that the numbers we have access to are crap. But that doesn't mean that our modeling will be any better; we'd need to use the public numbers as input. And those public numbers are crap.

There are people whose entire job is to figure out ways to make useful predictions from the information we have. Their estimates aren't great, in part because the numbers they're using as input are crap.

But the numbers they have for input are as good as what we have, so we're unlikely to manage better. And in the worst case we can easily Epstein ourselves and generate predictions that are wildly, embarrassingly off the mark.

I'm not saying you should trust the official or expert numbers. But they're almost certainly better than what you'll manage on your own.
I personally dislike the fact that copyright is tied to the person rather than the release year. It results in a lot of ugly compromises in copyright. The idea behind authors life + 70 years is that you don't want to discourage old people but if copyright was based on the release date none of this would matter.
Phone calls, emails, and text messages don't have e2e encryption, and we have been using them for 40 years. We are still using them.

Nobody cares.

The USA communications are under constant mass surveillance, by a group of people that denies it, abuses it, uses secret courts to rule about it even when unconstitutional, coerce others to submit every data and shut up about it, and destroy the life of whoever point finger at it.

And people still don't care.

Good luck with telling people that are recording their entire life on facebook, snapchat and tik tok to be mindful about the tools they use.
> Unions exist primarily to engage with employers, not government.

Labor parties in countries like the UK and Australia specifically exist to act as union-supported (and funded) parties. Unions do exist to help deal with members' employers, but they also exist to allow for collective political action.

An obvious example worldwide is teachers' unions (though you could argue because their employer is the state government, the union is fighting against their employer). Another example would be the strikes in the UK during Thatcher's time in office. Not to mention that basically all workers' rights legislation in most countries came out of battles between unions and governments, hence why they are so "weary" to "permit" unions to take political action -- because collective action works.

> So you'd need workers to unionize (which they have NOT done to deal with their employers) [...]

There's a saying about the second best time to plant a tree being today, and that applies here. This battle is most likely already lost, but actively choosing to not learn a lesson from it (unionise and mobilise for the next time this happens) is simply foolish. Ideally the technology industry would've unionised 30 years ago, but you'll never have any strength if the immediate response to someone saying "we should unionise" is "even if we unionised right now we couldn't solve $current_problem". Even if that is true, maybe having that infrastructure in place will allow you to solve tomorrow's problem?

> I think the real question here is why tech companies (or rather their CEOs, founders etc) are not making a fuss.

I hope by "fuss" you mean "shutting down operations until demands are met". Plenty of CEOs blogged about how insane the aforementioned anti-encryption legislation is (as they have in most of these cases). Looks like that doesn't work, maybe we should stop trying the same tactic?

> Politicians ignore us because 90% of people are not informed and choose not to think about history when these issues come up.

If (hypothetically) Google shut down for a week over this or any other bill, it would not be passed. They ignore us because all of our complaining is petulance -- it's not a substitute for action. That's the entire historic purpose of general strikes.
Personally I don’t want to have my web browser run applications, I’d rather have native MacOS or Linux apps, but I do see how having at least a version of it available in a browse is handy for potability.

You're totally right, of course. And I even mention that in the post. If we assume that S ~ N then we get that exponential growth. But eventually (unfortunately) enough people will get sick that S is no longer close to N; that's why the epidemic peaks.

Clearly there is an appetite for this, and it could get some more people involved with matrix.
SNES graphics has aged really well! I introduced my kids to NES and SNES through emulators, and while they played Super Mario Bros on NES, they really liked Super Mario World, Super Tennis, and Clay Fighter on SNES.

I'd like to get them to play A Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger, but I don't think that they're patient enough. Still, beautiful games with great soundtracks.
They are completely different projects. Jitsi (desktop) was a multi-protocol desktop client whicch supported SIP, XMPP, IRC, etc.

At one point in time it gained the hability to do multi-party video conferencing, where one participant would become the "focus" and forward everyone's video to everyone else.

This was the inception of the concept of an SFU or Selective Forwarding Unit.

Then, in order to scale this up the SFU was extrated to a standalone project: Jitsi Videobridge.

Roughly around then, WebRTC became a thing and Jitsi was already doing many of the required things to bring the experience to the web, so work continued with Jitsi Meet, a WebRTC compatible video conferencing system.

Jitsi Meet is our present and future, but Jitsi (desktop) lives on both as pieces of the puzzle (Jitsi Videobriidge, Jigasi and Jicofo use parts of it) and as a community project, where people interested in keeping it alive ssubmit fixes / improvements.

Simply not true. Unions engaged in both historically. Workers rights is a political cause after all. Historically, unions primarily engaged the government to gain rights for the workers. Every union is/was a political organization first.

For instance, in the scientific computing world, compiled extensions are hugely important, whereas they're relatively rare in web development.

There's probably no logical reason why a single common package manager for these domains is impossible. But they have different priorities, and people write tools that solve their own problems. Who is going to decide which package managers are unnecessary, and convince all of the users who are happy with them to switch to something else?

I don’t - and yet I work on the same OS, writing the same code and scripts using the same tools (clang, bazel, python).

Gnome is not a defining part of a modern linux system, it is just one choice of many DEs. And a large fraction of Linux systems don’t run any DE at all.

Odds are you might see my paper on HN later this week if I'm right about what I discovered today. But the constant popped up while I was playing with a prime/integer model that allowed me to eliminate the complex space of any real system. However, today I realized the significance of what I had discovered the other day while playing with a 5-cell system and should lead me to finally end my research ongoing since August, which was to derive a prime number space--as silly as it sounds--but now that I have unlimited free time to work on the paper, things have escalated quickly. I started on this project because I needed an ambient space to work with topologies for a theoretical and highly decentralized/distributed, partition-tolerant, declarative, multiplexed L8 (yes, L8) protocol based on some of the entropic principles of digital communication Claude Shannon introduced, but not exclusively; it is semantically plain HTTP at L7 but is IP tunneled over HTTP/2 and the dat/ipfs protocols and runs on the WASM. Why I'm developing that protocol is another story, but I will say that, as a programmer, I done. Anyways, tomorrow I will see what the tide washes ashore.
I don't have a good definitive answer to your question, other than we had to limit the scope of our work and we chose a representative set of devices amongst the ones that people showed interest in. Despite its popularity in wireless security research, I don't think the HackRF is widespread in the satcom or cubesat communities.
I really want it on the Switch! I played the emulated version on PC, and I know it's now available on both Steam (I heard that they fixed the broken early version) and mobile, but it would be very convenient to have it on the Switch. I read that due to licensing it's unlikely to show up in SNES Online, but I don't see why they don't release it as a separate game.

They don't need to remaster or remake anything, just release it as is, and I'm sure it would sell well. I would anyway prefer the original with original graphics and soundtrack to a 3D remake or similar.
As someone who grew up in the UK then moved to the US where there is no functional equivalent I have little time for Brits that complain about the BBC. The value for money you get in return for the license fee is simply staggering. And while a genuinely strong public broadcaster has its downsides you’re much better off with than without.
WeWork troubles deepen as SoftBank pulls $3B tender offer
This is complete revisionism. The OSI set out to create a new term, one that they could trademark and would otherwise match the meaning and intention of "free software".

They may have failed in the end, for a numer of reasons, but they were very rigorous in their search of prior usage and very open about their work. We can speculate in retrospect about what could have done differently, but saying they used an existing term is wrong both in intent and in practice.

I dont believe there is a way to retrieve the keys via javascript, but you can get a fingerprint from the SessionDescription. These fingerprints are used to validate the certificates during the DTLS handshake, so displaying those should be sufficient for manual verification.

Note that there may be multiple independently encrypted streams per peer, so you may have to display a few. Its not quite as simple as a single fingerprint, usually.

I think this is probably an artifact of deriving the SRTP key from the DTLS key. I would much prefer the option to manage SRTP encryption keys independently, which would simplify this somewhat.

Looking at composer bibliographies it's evident that there are masses of way-out-of-copyright scores which don't see the light of day. Many of these are secreted away in libraries and collections. If you have use of such a resource, uploading some of these scores to online libraries like the Petrucci helps preserve the more recondite creative work of past generations for musicians and (hence) listeners world wide to enjoy. Most Petrucci users will have made their own discoveries of music they would likely never have encountered otherwise.

I think stripping this encryption would make competition MORE easy, since now offering encryption is a niche google etc won't compete for (Telegram got started here) and since now you don't have to spend time and energy adding security like before. But who knows.

It's also worth considering more conspiratorial (tin foil hat time, sorry) answers:

* Don't make a fuss and we will keep your Chinese competitor companies out of western markets for another decade.

* Don't make a fuss or we will come down hard on you with taxes and audits, both at the corporate level and for you as individuals. We might even move our lucrative federal contracts elsewhere or brand you "insecure" (yes, they are that hypocritical) and ban your products.

* Don't make a fuss, you gave us access to all that data and it includes you and your families. We will start by outing peoples sexuality and affairs and move on to arresting them for trumped up minor offenses we would never have known about without your help. And they'll blame you for their ruined lives.

I've been doing remote work for 15+ years. As long as you (the customer) can clearly articulate what you want done, I can do it.

So long story short - as long as you know what tasks you want done and in how long a period of time, this (=remote work) will work.

In the current global context, there should be an increase in freelance work. A lot of "managers" will try to fight it, but there's no way around it.

My wife had a leave a management position a couple of years ago (for reasons outside of her control) and spent 6 months looking for a new role. She's one of the most successful people in our social circle and is generally thought of as an A player in her field. Even for her, it was a long and stressful process.

Break it down:

1. If you think you're so in demand there's always a good job offer waiting for you -- get over yourself, your chosen profession or your locale. What you do isn't that valuable. It it were, you'd still be employed.

2. If you're freaked out because you're not prepared for the loss of income -- you're stupid. Learn from this and prepare for the next unexpected end of the world. They happen quite regularly, in case you haven't been paying attention.

Ask yourself this: If you're so smart, why are you shitting your pants right now?

This is the opposite of what I meant.

Darwinism is is a scientific theory par excellence. A lot of that "testable predictions" philosophy of science was inspired by darwinism.

First, a scientific theory doesn't need to make only testable predictions. It just needs to make a testable prediction. Testing it doesn't "prove" the theory, it just subjects the theory to falsification.

Second, "testable/falsifiable" doesn't strictly mean "testable in practice." Even if it's not practical to test a prediction. EG, new species of bat will emerge in the future. We don't live long enough to test this in practice, but theoretically, it is a testable prediction. That doesn't make it unfalsifiable.

"Origin of Species" itself is full of predictions, some tested by Darwin himself and after is death. At this point, evolution has made so many predictions, that it is very very unlikely to be true. Unlikely, but nothing in science is proven beyond doubt ever.

Newtonian physics was "disproven" by Einstein. To do that though, Einsten's theory had to predict Netwonian physics.

IANAL but my understanding is that while practically speaking the war is lost for SNES, corporations have to be seen to be defending their IP (particularly game characters in Nintendo's case) otherwise they run the risk of it becoming public domain in the long term. An example of this is brand names becoming generic names (e.g. dumpster, chapstick, escalator...). The corporations that owned these terms lost control of them because they weren't able to do enough to defend their IP. Since many of their modern titles are reliant on old IP it is vitally important that they retain a grip on it from a legal standpoint.
