What is the point of "In process COM"? Is the same as any other library?

I thought COM was meant to communicate between processes?

Any enlightenment is appreciated...
Bitcoin Lightning (and, in principle, similar netting layers) allows transactions with fees on the scale of a few satoshis (or on the scale of $0.0001) without any reason to expect they would increase very much over time. This sort of system (off-chain private netting) is kind of the only system that makes sense for substantial scaling, because

1. It allows you to forget (most of) the system's history without sacrificing the consistency of the system

2. It allows you to distribute/factor out the work of the system into lots of independent components

3. It maintains decentralization, whereas most "fast" "cryptocurrencies" actually just work by having a trusted central authority, once you peel back enough layers of obfuscation
I really like your website btw. Very beautiful.
In America, you can always jump straight to litigation. It doesn't mean you'll win, and Equifax almost certainly has deeper pockets than you do.
It makes sense as a default because it will be the correct choice 99% of the time. Even when no-SQL is the better option it tends to be a better option for only part of the application.

Picking it as the default would make us wrong less often.
An example for worker-owned might be Mondragon [1]. I don't know how well that works in different settings and how easy it is to replicate. I do know that cooperatives, even if not worker-owned but customer-owned do work quite well in Germany. They serve their customers, as their customers are also their members/owners, so their interests are aligned. They often also have social sub-goals (their primary goals being servicing their members).

You make it sound more complicated than it is.

Good grades and a degree in Math/CS/Statistics/Physics/Engineering (or Business/Finance/Economics in a top uni) = high paying job.

Life sciences pay much less unless you are ready to pursue a PhD or MD, in such case the numbers are somewhat comparable.

A person who pursued biochemistry bachelor as a terminal degree or studied English literature has all information to know the opportunity costs of their decisions.
Great comments. I heartily agree and support the statement about probabilistic graphical models. Just to add a couple more facets to this perspective:

'State of the art' does not always mean 'best for your task', and in fact lately depending on your field SOTA sometimes simply means 'unaffordable' for anyone whose budget is under 1 million dollars.

Try linear methods first.

Ensembles of decent models are usually good models. The point above about probability calibration can be at least somewhat mitigated by using ensemble averages.

Don't just assume "the $MODEL will figure it out" if you give it shitloads of degrees of freedom. Machine learning efficiency all comes down to efficiency of representation, and feature engineering can achieve huge payoffs if/when you incorporate domain knowledge and expertise.

Once you gain a perspective into the "universality" of statistical methods, optimization, and Bayesian probability theory, your work will become a lot easier to reason about. As an example, try to see if you can explain why least-squares fit results from the assumption that model residuals are normally distributed (and what connections this may have to statistical physics!).
> Which is why languages like C++ let you write and use your own allocators. There are lots of reasons to do this (eg word alignment).

You're aware that the Go allocator is written in Go, right?
I do wonder how long that lower cost will last if oil implodes. Isn't the current supply of cheap US natural gas a by-product of oil production that may not be viable with current oil prices?
What do they other team members do? Did they actually build any of it? Did you sign an IP agreement?
Good job!

QA: Are you still need that again with your developer tools?
Thanks! Yeah, this definitely doesn't solve the group scheduling problem like when2meet does. I think its also a bit frustrating to tab back and forth between my Google calendar page and the when2meet event to fill it out, maybe they should integrate also!
Very soon! Send me an email at boris@getcensus.com and I'll get you going asap!
The problem with those other fields is they're about delayed gratification, which tech people are bad at. What you see as "wasting time" is just the normal development process for rockets, medical equipment etc.
Presuming you do think it is a legitimate data breach then, why did you suggest that victims should lose their claim to having been caught up in it?

Do you not think their (and probably your, if you're American) position of anxiety and their personal information being used nefariously is worthy of being made right? The data does not need to "surface" for it to have been used to steal someone's identity.
Are you sure you want your address out there?
For those more expert than I, is Apple any better in this regard?

If not, which mobile is ideal?

>Reducing the supply for colleges isn't going to make overall college education cheaper while maintaining the same quality of education. There is certainly some waste in college budgets, but it will mostly force colleges to cut the least profitable programs. Education is a social good. We should invest in it like we do with other public services. It shouldn't need to be profited minded.

We subsidize the shit out of education, and yet it still manages to be such an awful investment people can't pay it off over 30 years with very low interest rates.
I found an AIO (Corsair H115i 280mm rad) wasn't significantly quieter than a large air cooler.

On the other hand the custom loop I now have which has a 420 (triple 140) and a 280 (double 140) rad and includes the CPU and GPU is whisper quiet unless you're running a load that taxes both the CPU and GPU. It's actually eerie when you have it running because I was always used to that fan hum with previous builds.
Definitely, products that Apple were always available with deliver within 2 business days. As the crisis grew worse, a lot of products started slipping to 2-3 weeks for delivery. Apple usually doesn't stockpile and sells things as they make it, with a tiny ~margin~ inventory.
very cool. I'm writing a compiler and language myself and I was on the fence about anonymous structs / tuples vs multiple returns, and seeing multiple returns in your examples nudged me that way.

I'm also influenced by Lua and I picked it up in your grammar right away : )
How could consumers force this outcome?

Is there anything we can (collectively) do?
Well, don’t wait too long before you charge :)

I realize we can all make optional payments but I’d love for you have committed reoccurring revenue you can count on.

(I say this as a huge admirer of what’s you’re working on and accomplished)
I think they call it backup.
Hoon does have some very nice security / usability things, that a plain WASM doesn't: every function call is pretty much a sandbox, everything is serializable and sandboxable (so you can eg. exchange code around safely), great reflexivity/inspectability, etc.

It looks weird, and names are weird (which IMO is unnecessary), but the underlying mechanisms are actually not that difficult to grasp.
Nice! There are many books that cover this, even the docs for Pyro/other libraries are useful, it just depends on your preference for how material is presented + your background.

Bishop's "Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning" has a chapter on PGM's that's free online: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/...

Murphy's "Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective" is another behemoth that covers this stuff, but it's really just your preference.

I say "aspire" because (1) depending on your background, it will likely be something that takes awhile to internalize and really understand, and you will probably realize many times over that you thought you understood something that you actually didn't (2) by learning PGM's, you learn a lot of Bayesian statistics as a side effect, hence why even learning a little bit about them is rewarding.

Once you learn a bit, I would use Pyro/other libraries and try to actually build PGM's for toy problems (or non-toy problems too..) because (1) it will force you to admit to yourself that you don't understand something, (2) the documentation for a lot of these libraries is also useful learning material, and (3) you will see once you learn these libraries that it is fairly easy to do something that would be astoundingly complex if you were to try and do it by hand.

You can basically build most standard ML algorithms as a PGM, so e.g. you can try to do logistic regression as a PGM and compare the results to scikit-learn.
That wasn't too hard, was it? ;)
Dude... I do not think you know truly how many people love Redis. For every contrarian armchair quarterback here on HN there are 1000 people who are out using/coding/hacking w/ Redis and not caring about the noise. Myself included. Thank you and all the contributors for the hard work on an absolutely killer tool.
Living in the Bay Area, I find the food scene amazing. I do, however, find the food scene in San Francisco bland and repetitive.

The same pattern holds for cultural activities and the outdoors; SF has the same things over and over again, while the Bay Area as a whole has an abundance of options to fill your life with. I have also found that many people who move to San Francisco spend 99%+ of their time in SF.

I do agree with your sentiments about what a large amount of people in the Bay Area want to spend their time thinking and talking about. I stopped going to parties years ago after I couldn’t find a conversation that wasn’t about how this dude worked at Apple.
Quoting Terry Pratchett from memory: "They thought a king would make them free."

The thing is, feudalism works out really well for the king. Works out all right for the dukes, earls, and barons. Works out OK for the knights, and less well for the peasants. Those who advocate such stuff almost certainly think that they're not going to be the peasants. (They are also almost certainly wrong. If this dream/nightmare ever comes to pass, people like Moldbug will probably be used as useful idiots and then slaughtered like livestock as soon as they don't serve the purposes of the rulers. The rulers will be people who really understand power, not people who can write online screeds well.)
I didn't realize we were in violent agreement. I posted a fun quote from a movie I like that was relevant to the parent. You replied with a touch of snark and I felt compelled to defend myself from your comment. And now here we are. Heh.
> No, no they don't.

Yes, they do. The power limits are set in MSRs within the CPU and the CPU has default values for those MSRs.

> basically no desktop motherboard at least follows Intel's "recommendation" out of the box.

Wrong again. Motherboards using chipsets other than the Z series typically do not change the power limits unless the user explicitly sets them. These days even Z series boards do not change the power limits unless the user enables at least one overclocking feature, e.g. XMP. This is how the motherboard manufacturers technically follow Intel's specs while actually running out-of-spec with the settings most enthusiast users use.
Wouldn't be surprised if the person who wrote this disappeared lol
DIY File Approvals Using the Microsoft PowerPlatform
You can't do it on a Mac (unless you want to run two non-supported graphics cards sharing 4 lanes on a Thunderbold/USB-C connector instead of each having their own x16 PCIe connection)
Maybe I'm overly cynical, but my impression is that San Francisco building projects are primarily intended for contracting companies, unions, and elected officials to make as much money as possible on.

The resulting built thing is a distant afterthought.
Yeah, my pihole would usually block something like 70% of what was a good number of requests from my Xiaomi overnight.

It's gross.
Well, SpaceX seems to be developing rockets at 3x the speed and 5x lower cost than NASA, so I would say that there are some examples of 'awe-inspiring efficiency'.
Key words there are "in the past." An RDS instance is not the sort of thing they're talking about at all. In one case study, they took a licensing process at Microsoft and reduced it from several weeks long to one minute, and reduced overall cost by 99%.

You could run everything on one system, but companies don't like trusting and paying whoever runs that one system, so mostly they run their own systems, send messages back and forth, and do a lot of cumbersome mutual auditing. That's exactly the sort of thing EY works on for a living.
Well, if fighting off the disease doesn't produce long term immunity, then neither will a vaccine. I guess we'll either have to keep-up with booster doses, and hope for the best that the the virus doesn't mutate enough to not be neutralized by the given vaccine.
More info on that would be cool. Something like Amazon's FireCracker?
The liquid in a custom loop never gets particularly hot, mine tops out at around 34c.

Ideally, you want to set your fan and pump speed based off coolant temperature, which is inexpensive with a simple screw-in temperature sensor.
While true, that's not a universal. It's not uncommon for companies in, e.g., finance to run a literal credit check for some positions.
> no full technical specs

Blows my mind that this is an actual issue. It just doesn't make sense that _this_ would be an issue, yet it totally is. Oftentimes you don't even know for sure what's included with a product and you have to sift thru the comments (reviews & Q&As) to figure out if what you think is included is indeed included as there is no clear indication in the listing. Very low quality in this regard. eBay, OTOH, is very specific because sellers vying for your attention want to make sure you know exactly what you're buying.

If eBay offered something which tightly integrated 2-Day Delivery, they could become a legit competitor on the non-media services side.
I think PGM's are covered by a lot of "standard" ML texts -- someone else mentioned Murphy's book which is great and is humongous but is a good reference for pretty much every method under the sun.

Bishop's Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning has a chapter thats free online: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/...
Just because it’s illegible does not mean it is suboptimal. It purposely breaks with existing conventions because it does things in a way not current code does.
Trendy Design for the Pod
You should be using a custom rom.
Ok, I want to get this right. The major point I'm trying to make is that without the Vulkan memory model, the way to get atomic loads and stores is to add the "volatile" memory qualifier to the buffer interface block. This has basically the same set of problems as using "volatile" in pre-C++11 code.

There is definitely precedent for using "volatile" in multithreaded code (though, researching this, I think there may be stronger precedents in C than in C++, see [1], particularly the "In C++11, normally never use volatile for threading, only for MMIO" answer). I agree a good argument can be made that it's incorrect. To be clear, the argument that volatile is incorrect for multithreading is extremely strong from the perspective of standard C and C++, but I think in practice it was considered quite usable.

I have a feeling we agree on the substance (a memory model is a dramatic improvement over using volatile), but I can probably improve the wording.

[1]: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4557979/when-to-use-vola...

ETA: Here's what I consider a great reference for the widespread use of volatile for multithreaded programming. It's from 2001, but by Andrei Alexandrescu, who I think can be considered an authority: https://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/volatile-the-multithreaded-progr...

Stuff like this is why without fail, every phone I own gets LineageOS installed immediately.

Xiaomi phones have a bootloader unlock timer to try and mitigate sites reselling their phones with modified software, so I had to leave my Mix 2s alone for a few days before I could make it safe to use.
> is Apple any better in this regard

Yes
Your planet is not tied to a specific star, you can move it to other stars. The reason there is a cost is to reduce spam, among other things.
You might compare the experience of being a member of a credit union to being a customer of a major bank. The CU, as a member owned non-profit, has fewer incentives to screw you over with hidden fees and high transaction costs.
Ok, now show me the GN video showing an AMD CPU sustaining a turbo frequency "a few hundred MHz above the specced numbers".
“It’s a lot worse than any of the mainstream browsers I have seen,”

It's a lot worse than Chrome ?

The Xiaomi browser tracks your browsing.
The Google browser in combination with the most of the sites in the internet track your browsing, your location, and a lot of other things.

Choosing the lesser evil is quite popular now days, and it's obvious which one it is.

GObject gets us some of the way, but the ABI and bindings for other languages make it a royal pain in the ass to export types from anything but C rather than just consuming them.

Rather unfortunate, because with GIR you could easily have a program written in a mix of Rust, C, Go, C++, Vala, etc. all playing nicely if they were all able to expose to the common object model.
So glad that they're bringing tiling features, keyboard shortcuts and workspaces front and center!

Quick glance and looks like it's bringing together the best of tiling WMs with the polish of Pop!_OS.
Keeping a CPU under 70 °C while dissipating 300+ Watts is going to be tough even for high end custom loops. Air just isn't an option for these CPUs at all.
> [..] we put ourselves at risk if that data falls into the wrong hands.

This argument confuses me. You you are willing to trust Stripe with your customers' address and credit card details. You trust that their Javascript doesn't send this to an attacker.

What other data are you worried about falling into the wrong hands?
I always wondered this too. I didn't think it had anything to do with the temperature of the air... how does that make sense?
Create a Modular React Component Library
China at this point has an amazing blackmail database — just correlate credit information with LinkedIn and Facebook data, and it’s trivial to find people with clearances or access to corporate secrets that you can get leverage on. Combine that with their attempted purchase of Grindr and other dating apps and you see a pattern.
I think the point OP was making that if the data hasn't surfaced, then you cannot confirm if a particular case of identity theft has been caused by the breach.

Our government spends more money on education in both a relative and an absolute sense than the European average.
I wish there was a straightforward way to take the diff of all the Ubuntu variants. Ostensibly one could take Ubuntu and run a few shell scripts (I am grossly oversimplifying) and boom you are now running Pop.

So much time and effort goes into building an _entire_ distribution when, at the core, 90% or more of the thing is identical to Ubuntu LTS. Am I missing something?

Also... the name with the exclamation and the underscores is one of the most user hostile and nonsensical things I have ever seen in open source, since brainfuck the language.
The credit card kind?
From a legal perspective, does providing incorrect information to a settlement somehow make your claim invalid?

People were using the correlation of "I had an identity breach around this time, it must be causation" as part of their claim. If your identity is stolen by a different party, simultaneously, how do you legally have a right to use that against a different party?

Did you read the article? The data likely hasnt been used yet, it was likely stolen by a government that is holding it for their own purposes, not using it for credit card theft.
It seems like this is 'really about' a bunch of lawyers getting paid.
Oops, sorry got that one wrong indeed.
Trinity Desktop Environment R14.0.8 Released
I'm getting double flickers on some pages like https://tara.ai/about/. I'd totally switch over if there was a JIRA importer tool. I've used JIRA for years and would love something similar with a faster and less confusing UI.
Just being able to amend job requirements with "or rust experience" is most probably worth it.

That chart from Apple is quite misleading. Apple abandoned full strong encryption for iCloud data, apparently due to pressure from the US Government. https://9to5mac.com/2020/01/21/apple-reportedly-abandoned-en...

Only the things under "End-to-end encrypted data" are actually encrypted in a meaningful way - everything else just sits on servers that use disk encryption, but that fails to defend from 99% of realistic attack scenarios.

A lot of content - including photos (which I used to use to take pictures of sensitive personal data, like ID cards) - is not meaningfully encrypted.

Thankfully, Safari tab data is actually encrypted as of iOS 13.

While Apple has done a good job of protecting user privacy compared to the alternatives, they still have a lot of work to do before we can accurately say things like "iCloud backups are encrypted".
> Like I said, it doesn't fit the narrative of "data collectors = bad", it doesn't create the right emotional response, it doesnt help people hate equifax more, so it gets suppressed and immediately downvoted, on any forum.

Have you considered that this might be caused by blind spots in your own news consumption?

For example, you previously linked to an article from 2019 that suggest the breach might have been a governmental attack, but you seem to have ignored the fact that 4 PLA members were indicted in February. There was widespread news coverage about this, including multiple submissions on this very forum. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22289826 does not look like it was "suppressed and immediately downvoted".
I can't wait for the Xeon version of this to be released. There have been unofficial reports.

Vote. Vote in the primaries. Vote in local elections. Vote in federal elections. Vote for people who will make their business model, in the manner they practice it, illegal.

If you don't want to vote, you can get even better ROI if you convince other people to vote instead.

As a consumer you can't do anything. You are not their customer. They are not accountable to you. As a citizen, you have power. They require your permission to operate.
i didn't know for sure that such things would happen but expected it. one of the reasons i'm on an iphone for 2+ years. i've got zero trust in chinese manufacturers, in my mind they're just extensions of the CCP.
