What is really weird is this isn't quite correct, they do have scoped personal access tokens, you just can't make them. If you use GitHub actions, it generates a scoped PAT that only works for that repository for your actions to use.

I use deploy keys rather than a PAT as they can be scoped (single repo and can be read-only), but they are more work and are limited to git actions rather than the whole GitHub API.

The fact they clearly have the internal capability for this makes it incredibly odd they aren't exposing it for users to use, and I agree it'd be a really valuable thing to have.

Regularly scheduled software releases makes no goddamn sense to me. Why are MacOS, iOS, iPad OS, and tvOS supposed to ship at the same time? Moreover, does anyone really care if these get updated once per year? Especially tvOS. I really wish Apple would move to releasing new software "about" once every 24 months and just use the extra time to test.

Sure the discussion quality is far better, if you're comparing to reddit in general. Discussion is often on par if you're on a niche subreddit focused on something technical.

From a personal perspective, the discussion quality on HN (on average) has declined over the past couple years. In the past the majority of comments were more substantial; it was more common to see paragraphs of well thought-out comments that delved into nitty gritty details when addressing a point.

But in the past couple years there's been a gradual increase in single-sentence comments that contribute nothing to discussion but only end up taking up screen space. Like the random person who wants to throw in their 2 cents, but have zero cents to offer.

Even HN is not immune to Eternal September.
Well, kinda. This is an intentionally visual representation, but it could just have been a rules set that builds a series of gates that create a computer that does the calculations for the game without actually rendering it. Basically seeing the game isn't necessary, though this is pretty awesome.
Well, not really: bailouts punish people and business who incurred costs to operate in a way that would allow them to pause their economic activity for months (cancellable supply/rent/employment contracts, cash reserves, etc.), and favors those who did not do so.

In general, a society where it is possible to pause all economic activity at any time is going to be much more robust than one that doesn't, and is going to reduce the impact of an apocalyptic event that the government cannot bail the society out of, possibly avoiding human extinction in the most severe cases.

For instance, if everyone stores several years worth of food and water at home, then even the most catastrophic events are much less likely to kill the vast majority of people in the world.

So, there is a moral hazard, and it may be wise to either minimize the bailouts or to make such resilience mandatory.
This is a great example of an author taking a few methodological issues, doing some aggressive nitpicking, redefining some terms on the fly and then grandly extrapolating out to a ridiculous conclusion.

The author tries to say that people with good willpower and self control aren't actually exhibiting self control but have instead developed helpful strategies and techniques for coping with desire.

Well... Ok? It doesn't matter how temptation resistance manifests. Some people are better at it than others, and this makes them more successful.

From the way the text ends, it seems the author is eager to dismiss self agency because then it frees them to blame external forces like poverty or oppression for everyone's misfortune rather than personal failings.

I don't doubt it was leaked. But even with that information, unprecedented Fed support was speculated for some time but crystalized on March 3rd when Fed lowered rates 0.5%. the market still went down since then. Maybe it didn't go down as much as it would have had the Fed not intervened, but that's difficult to profit from. Market recovered a bit and you can point to another Fed policy in hindsight and say this caused the rebound.
I can't speak for how it appears to you, but to claim that the right has been uncritical or even less critical than the left, of recent changes in US and global society, is frankly absurd.
I have experience working on civil investigations of financial crime. It takes a very long time to prosecute white collar crime of all kinds. Especially insider trading. The most effective technique is to overwhelm the accused with reports containing facts that don’t constitute cold, hard evidence of crime, and then wait for them to buckle under the pressure and admit guilt
I remember spending a lot of time with that as a teenager. A stage0 (or was it stage1?) installation took about a weekend, I recall. I was a bit surprised recently realizing that there's still a significant Gentoo community, with influx of new users. Didn't really occur to me that the installation experience is completely different these days, but that makes sense.

Might give it a try again.

Why Focus on a Niche Market?
The T2 chip itself (runs bridgeOS which is like watchOS) do. It is used only to recover the firmware of the T2, AFAIK it can't be used to write to the SSD directly.

The checkra1n team recently showed that all Macs with a T2 chip are vulnerable to checkm8 exploit used to jailbreak iPhones, and this could persist for a while due to the T2 chip staying on between application processor reboots.

This allows override of mic disconnect (except on the newest models which switched to hardware disconnect), Secure Boot/Firmware Password, and allows you to bypass Apple's signing of Intel ME firmware, TB3 firmware, and CPU microcode. Whether or not there is still Intel signing after that is unknown, but there are already some sort of issues with the host key being leaked on that. The one useful feature I can think of is allowing SSD replacement (you still have to find a way to resolder ofc) and Touch Bar customization.

I think the most likely attack vector for this is an evil maid style attack where corrupted T2 firmware is loaded that rewrites the contents of the SSD while macOS is running to launch further exploit code on that platform.

The one thing not to worry about is if you have FileVault turned on with a password, that still can't be cracked because your password is not stored anywhere on the device. But the BitLocker-style automatic encryption with no password that just locks the SSD to that specific T2 chip isn't useful anymore.
FastMail just uses SpamAssassin btw; I'm not sure if they have any modifications, but based on the results it seems just the standard SA.
FTA:

"Whenever the band found brown M&M's candies backstage, they immediately did a complete line check, inspecting every aspect of the sound, lighting and stage setup to make sure it was perfect. David Lee Roth would also trash the band’s dressing room to prove a point -- reinforcing his reputation in the process."

So, in summary: the team of roadies DIDN'T always do a a complete line check. And DLR would just make life hard for the hotel staff. That's just dumb all around.
Unfortunately not, GitHub tokens are (outside of GitHub actions generated tokens) scoped for your entire account, which sucks. It should be an advantage though.
I've heard this argument before, and after reading a lot about it (and breaking out some of my old economics textbooks) I'm not really sure what to make of it. I'm undecided on if the dollar as the "world" reserve currency is actually a good thing for regular Americans. It certainly gives the American government a lever of power that other countries do not have, but where I part ways with the prevailing wisdom on this (the wisdom that insists this is a worthwhile arrangement) is when we talk about what the United States uses this power for. Folks who've lost their jobs because of crappy trade deals, or see their towns evaporate because of global capital movement, feel no comfort from the fact that foreign banks and governments "seek safety in holding US dollars".

One would expect that this power would be used to enrich America. This isn't what's happening, so I'm frankly willing to part with the whole deal.
Did you try the basics first? Hold down power for long time. 30 seconds. There is a small chance you’re not affected by this issue.
Yes, you are right. Existing single-image depth estimation models are not far from perfect. We hope to see future development in that direction to further improve the visual quality of 3D photos.
This is what happens when you focus on features over functionality, get excited over "delighting" your customers over providing reliable products, and put visibility over stability. Steve Jobs had a nice balance of this, Tim Cook is just a numbers guy.

> Why do things in America work so different? It's not (yet) a third world country,

That's debatable but regardless, we are speeding there as fast as we can. That's why. You already have the answer. For 80 to 90% of the population, it is a third world country. Why? Because the rich have to profit off the suffering of everyone else in all areas. Education, healthcare, food, safety, transportation, etc. I can't think of a single industry in America that's not focused on exploiting the poor, the young, the uninformed, the vulnerable, the sick, etc. Exploitation is what we do while pretending to care about people.

Even during corona times, Americans cannot and do not come together to help each other as a society. Yes, some people help each other, even some states, but the federal government is mostly trying to profit off the shortage of ppe and other equipment. They are focused on enabling profit for the corporations that elected it. So what if doctors and nurses die?. Fuck them. That's what America says. Don't believe it? Then where is our national stockpile of equipment? Where is our pandemic preparedness team?

This is in every sector. Why can't we have free education? How would these rich colleges get even richer then? Wait you actually think Americans care about the next generation? Please. Only as far as to how to exploit them. Half of Americans hate their neighbors so much, that they'd rather see them get sick, suffer, and die than create a healthcare program that covers everyone. But they have no problem spending trillions on wars and killing others. Americans are shitty people with a shitty government. They are stupid, incompetent, greedy, and above all else, cruel. They love to kill people, they love to hurt others, and they hate it when others are having a good time. Puritan ideals: hard to argue we don't have them.

So yeah, why are things like this? Because we are not a civilized country. Because we have no empathy, sympathy, or care for one another. Because we hate one another. Because we are willing to profit while others suffer and extend that suffering to profit more rather than help. That's why.
Cool. Next time a cops investigate someone with priors or with similar MOs we should label them as conspiracy theorists.

I find it.. peculiar that giving merit to a theory about the Chinese government trying to cover up a lab accident is labeled or treated the same as other theories about Soros, Clintons, Illuminatis et al. There are data points which point to this. There is proof of doctors disappearing, active government censorship and prior accidents from China. Not to mention the statistical impossibility of their official epidemiological numbers. Why doesn't this merit at least the thought of an investigation? Or a non-zero probability? As someone who grew up in a communist state with a totalitarian government, I lived through 'manufactured realities' way more obscene than what I just described. This is peanuts.

It's interesting because whenever something like ^ appears online on reddit or (recently Blind), an army of people appear with one of the following arguments:

- I'm trying to deflect from the current US administration's incompetence. This IMO is an orthogonal problem

- the NY strains have European origins so why are you talking about China

- China was the only country to properly contain the virus

- tinfoil hat much?

That doesn't cover the emotional response of the announcement. Quoting from https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/salk-sabin-and-the-ra... :

> On April 12, 1955, Dr. Thomas Francis Jr., who monitored the Salk trials, called a press conference at the University of Michigan. The conference was broadcast to to 54,000 physicians who gathered in movie theaters; millions of Americans tuned in by radio. After Francis declared Salk’s vaccine to be “safe and effective,” church bells rang out and tearful families embraced. The polio panic would soon be over, as pharmaceutical companies rushed to create hundreds of millions of doses of the new vaccine.

Emulation works well if you have firmware and an emulator. For example, the Ardupilot autopilot software has both hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop packages which use the actual firmware. It runs off an STM32 emulator (I think) which is well defined. As you say, if you don't have that firmware, your emulator is only as good as your reverse engineering is.

When I'm testing thermal cameras there are a sequence of things I can check to ensure that the test worked: was the command sent without errors? Did I get an error back from the camera (e.g. CRC failure)? Does the state of the camera change as I expect it to? If all of those things are correct then the likelihood is that the command sent OK. Of course for states you should check various permutations (e.g. shutter open and shutter closed) to make sure that you don't have a bug in your state reading code :)

Here's a stereo matching example from OpenCV. This is a case when you do have the correct answer, but you don't expect to equal it, and your tolerance to accuracy varies with algorithm:

With great care, in isolation and with full transparency. Tthere are protocols for how to deal with lab accidents or outbreaks and prior incidents show that all of these have lower priority than 'saving face' for the Chinese government.
The main way I've found this to be annoying is GitHub "Deploy Keys"[1]. They treat them similar to users, so you need a unique deploy key per repository. That is pretty annoying when trying to authenticate something like a CI server.

The main alternative is "Machine Users"[1], which are actually normal user accounts. That means they have the same policies as regular users, like mandated 2FA for an organization. And to manage them you have to log-in as that user. That makes it a pain for a team to manage a Machine User.

GitHub really needs to have Service Accounts that belong to an organization, and can be managed by admins of the organization (without having to log-in as the Service Account). The Service Accounts should be able to have SSH keys and API tokens associated with them.

Just a heads up: I'll be adding the 501's to the post soon.

I didn't even think about adding something on available sizes (which fit numbers come in short/long lengths or smaller/bigger waists). I should add that!

In the meantime, I checked to see which Levi's I've measured do come in length 36 for a size 32, and there are a handful of them:
* Levi's 505 Regular Fit
* Levi's 514 Straight Fit
* Levi's 527 Boot Cut Fit
* Levi's 541 Athletic Fit
Unfortunately there isn't too much variety, given that the 501's are also a regular seat/straight leg, but the 505/514's should fit a bit different and come in 32x36, so they might be worth a try!
