It seems like there is a lot of confusion here as to whether this is real or not. I've been able to confirm the behavior in the post by:

- Using a new, random executable. Even echo $rand_int will work. Edit: What I mean here is generate your rand int beforehand and statically include it in your script.

- Using a fresh filename too. Just throw a rand int at the end there. e.g. /tmp/test4329.sh

I MITMd myself while recording the network traffic and, sure enough, there is a request to ocsp.apple.com with a hash in the URL path and a bunch of binary data in the response body. Unsure what it is yet but the URL suggests it is generating a cert for the binary and checking it. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Certificate_Status_Prot...

Here's the URL I saw:

http://ocsp.apple.com/ocsp-devid01/ME4wTKADAgEAMEUwQzBBMAkGB...

Edit2: Anyone know what this hash format is? It's not quite base64, nor is it multiple base64 strings separated with '+'s but it seems similar...

Edit3: Here is the exact filename and file I used: https://gist.github.com/UsmannK/abb4b239c98ee45bdfcc5b284bf0...

Edit4 (final one probably...): On subsequent attempts I'm only seeing a request to https://api.apple-cloudkit.com and not the OCSP one anymore. Curiously, there's no headers at all. It is just checking for connectivity.
Op linked validated bug reports.. One of which Apple responded with "by design" of which op derived the title.

The down votes are because it seems pretty clear that the people who don't experience have long lived instances of their os and likely have grandfathered or disabled security settings. There are a lot of people saying ita pretty easy to replicate with a new os.

Admissions already works like this. An admissions committee is a bunch of professors that volunteered / were convinced to do admissions, and they consider the academic background, personal background, demographics, essays (sometimes), and most of all - ability to pay. Requiring aid negatively impacts your chances of even getting in.
I would actually be quite happy if the engineers were forced to work on four-year-old MacBook Pros and develop against Display Zoomed iPhone 7 and the second generation Apple Watch, using the toolchain and software they push to their developers.

The biggest reason is if you're using Postgres already as an operational database and want some timeseries/analytical capabilities.

Originally Timescale wasn't much more than automatic partitioning but with the new compression and scale out features, along with the automatic aggregations and other utilities, it can actually be pretty good overall performance. It still won't get you the raw speed of Clickhouse but instead you get all the functionality of Postgres (extensions, full SQL support, JSON, etc) and can avoid big ETL jobs.

Another PG extension is Citus which does scale-out automatic sharding with distributed nodes but is more generalized than Timescale for handing non-timeseries use-cases. Microsoft offers Citus on Azure.
Preppers also predicted 10 of the last 1 world debacles too, so that's not very predictive either (year 2000 crisis, nuclear war, etc). I'm no better myself.

However, in 2008 there was a giant amount of poor mortgage debt, it was a real thing. We've had near 0% interest rates in much of the western world, more in europe, wasteful debt increases and tax cuts in the us that didn't go to long term useful infrastructure. And our economy hasn't been growing that much. China has a giant debt bomb, how will that work out?
Better (and simpler), there needs to be a fine or other punishment for fraudulent copyright claims. Even better if that fine can be proportional to income of the claimant.
Depends on the interview, they won't just give you one. If they decide to keep you, they will interview you and keep those that perform well. You can be a manager, if they are going to build out the software, you can be a VP for that product if you demonstrate competency. Best of luck.

I'm waiting for the old car batteries to start coming online, I think that will kill anything else for stationary systems, and will just get bigger.
This is only tangentially related but I wonder if it would be possible to create a system where both sides have the same resources. I'm imagining everyone has to put any money they want to spend on the case into a pot and then each side gets half. There are obviously loads of problems with this approach but I wonder if they're solvable
I looked up the last screenshot I had of this. What I asked was "In 2 days remind me to call FRIEND_NAME", and Siri created a reminder that just said "call". Transcribed perfectly, wrong content in the reminder.

I tried it again right after, and the reminder said "call FRIEND_NAME".

I don't think there was any previous conversational context or anything like that. Hard to fathom how that could happen.
What are we actually seeing? Is there data?

I was expecting the graphic to animate as I type, with the ribbon holder jumping up and down, maybe even display the text itself, and hoping to hear that satisfying sound of the letters against the platen. Obviously the shutdown hasn't lasted long enough.

I'm only half joking. I like the concept of re-implementing typewriter constraints on the writing process, but the skeumorphism was lacking. It took me a second to figure out why there were 2 text boxes, and the word-based tokenization is not type-writer like at all.

More importantly, one key aspect of the typewriter was lacking: the immobility of the cursor. In a typewriter, it was the page/canvas that moved, and your cursor stayed fixed. You could type paragraphs even an entire page without moving your head or even your eyeballs by just staring at the contact point of the letters.

Searching for "typewriter simulator" found this which is very close to what I was imagining: https://uniqcode.com/typewriter/

It even recreates the problem of missed letters if you type too fast (though I suspect it's a bug). At least it doesn't jam.
This feels like very much a YMMV situation. I think my own personal thinking is mostly the same as yours.

Your argument is founded on the idea that this is an extraordinary event, but this is clearly becoming a recurring pattern due to the increasingly risky and fragile way businesses are operated. If this were 2008, I might agree with you, but we are starting to form a trend here. We'll have yet another round of public-private wealth transfers for the "absolutely unprecedented" 2031 US earthquake.
I don't believe individuals have enough legal or political authority to take on all responsibility themselves if they were sharing questionable material. That means some of the responsibility falls on Google, because we the public shall demand it of them.

Google didn't delete anyone's files, and even then some responsibility already falls on them just for hosting your content. If Google were part of distribution, that would be a separate wrongdoing in the eyes of the public.

Google does not have the luxury of a government institution to which it may delegate all difficult questions of institutional responsibility (unlike the FDA or the FCC, both government organizations where companies may delegate responsibility), thus putting the pressure on Google to exercise oracle-like vision.

I agree with your assessment, the yen is a small fraction of the global reserve currency pool compared to the USD, dollar denominated debts destroy the competitiveness of other economies which can be seen when you graph the DXY against emerging market etfs. There is no alternative to the dollar right now but there is also no real alternative to the manufacturing and materials base in China. Domestically alone China can source a significant amount of material and in many sectors they supply the majority of mining output for the world, next after them is usually Russia. The US's purchasing power and GDP only exists because the world trades using dollars. It amazes me that more people that post on hacker news aren't as concerned as I feel about the current situation. Whether you own crypto or not you would be crazy to hold bonds or debt as an investment over precious metals with the state of the world being what it is.

Unity does miss on a lot of things, but I'd like to point out one of its best qualities: the pricing model. Compared to Unreal, Unity is a steal. Despite Unreal's recent changes to not collect royalties on the first $1m of gross revenue, its license can get quite expensive if you have a successful game.

* Unity: $1800 / year, no royalties. (Unity Pro)

* Unreal: 5% of gross revenue.
OCSP is Online Certificate Status Protocol, generally used for checking the revocation status of certificates. You used to be able to turn it off in keychain access, but that ability went away in recent macOS releases.

So? Empirical data also shows that if you’re 7’ tall you tend to be good at basketball.

Pointing out that people who are doing well now tend to do well in the future is not a useful observation. My original point in this discussion was that removing the tests actually hurts people who are not doing well now, since they have fewer opinions to game the system and having an empirical and objective test of their abilities is the best (and cheapest) opportunity to stand out.

Musk is quoted as saying you need 100 Gigafactories. I think there’s room for error, considering the batteries needed to replace all ICE vehicles with EVs, the amount of utility scale battery storage needed to go 100% renewables, and any storage needed beyond those two primary use cases. GF1 in Sparks is also producing above anticipated capacity.
How do snapshots work? Is it simply taking snapshots of the underlying VM's or are you doing it at a Kubernetes resource level?

Also, can you describe the performance (cpu / memory) of the clusters? Obviously if I am running lots of pods that have:

resources:
requests:
memory: 512Mi
cpu: 500m

Allocated, could run into problems if the underlying servers don't have enough cpu / memory.
I use Linux everyday, and it's a UX disaster. I have tried Gnome, Xfce, Cinnamon, KDE, I like none of them. The only DE that I somewhat liked (Unity) was discontinued.

Linux sucks, but I use it becuase it sucks less than windows, for programming at least.

So one thing that bothers me about this is they talk about not going back to cubicles and creating transparent dividers. I do not like this not one bit, I enjoy the privacy and distraction blocking of a cubicle, an office would be optimal but a cubicle is preferable to the open office hellscape that was looming before Corona stopped it.

But going from open office to plexiglass dividers seems to be far worse than a cubicle in every conceivable way.
I didn't realize that you could search for things on Apple Photos. That's the main reason why I use Google Photos, because its search capabilities are amazing. When I search for "chicken" it returns both fried chicken, raw chicken and actual chickens. I'll have to check

The thing I don't like about Apple Photos is that when you sync with your Apple TV 4K, you can't actually play 4K 60 fps videos on your TV. I don't know why that is, but it won't work. That's extremely disappointing to me, and I don't understand what the reason is, unless the AppleTV 4K is underpowered.

> It's no longer practical to incorporate into real products given the hardware costs for training and inference

I don't see that trend. Bleeding edge research has always been beyond what's practical, by its very nature. The focus is on pushing the boundaries, not to build something efficient/commercial.

It's the followup work that makes it practical. See for example the evolution of WaveNet. It was breakthrough research, but yeah it wasn't practical. Now a couple years later and we're generating speech on mobile devices of similar quality (see the recent Facebook research), and able to teach these machines using orders of magnitude less data (see 15.ai).

Not to mention the plethora of research that is explicitly about making neural networks more efficient and easier to train (e.g. EfficientNet; 1cycle; etc).

Bleeding edge stuff like AlphaStar, BigGAN, GPT-2, etc are just that: bleeding edge. They'll get more efficient and practical every year, just like everything else in machine learning.
> There already is one, called Flatpak.

I said "a system", making a sandboxing program like Flatpak is the easy part. Also, why is it that neither https://flatpak.org nor https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak mention security or "secure"? I think that is because Flatpak is not meant for running untrusted/malicious processes (without using additional protection; such as a virtual machine, another OS user, or another physical machine). I am not sure why that is, but it may be because, as I said, it is simply too complicated to think through everything while satisfying relevant security models, or because Flatpak programmers know that for real security you do not want user namespaces in your Linux (attack surface increase, etc.).

Also, even if Flatpak and the kernel were perfect, if you want to sandbox a complex application with only Flatpak; using the app and configuring its sandbox would then be an impractical nightmare for either administrators or users. See the article linked here about the problems with Flatpak-sandboxing complex real-world programs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18180017.

And this comment is also informative: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14409234

Basically, for real secure and robust sandboxing I think one needs to use the Chromium setuid + seccomp + multiple processes approach. This implies thinking about security while designing the program, and it being open-source; so it is only applicable to trusted software that deals with untrusted data, or executes Javascript or something. So, if a program is designed with security in mind (e.g., Chromium), Flatpak provides nothing beneficial. On the other hand, if one needs to execute real-world untrusted software, it again seems it is necessary to use another user account or another machine.

If we can actually "re-open America" without significantly increasing the spread of COVID-19, that will make the lockdown look like a major over-reaction.

On the other hand, if we re-open and then see a return to doubling the number of cases every 3-4 days... what then? Will people go back on lockdown?

The first 10 pages of the following link may be helpful; it shows probably the simplest concrete nontrivial 2-form:

https://math.berkeley.edu/~wodzicki/H185.S11/podrecznik/2for...

The first example there is: given a base point X and two vectors V,W based at X, the 2-form gives the "signed" area of the parallelogram spanned by V and W. Determinants (which measure n-dimensional parallelograms), when viewed as functions of their column vectors, have all the properties of differential forms.

Differential forms are a bit like generalized determinants and in a sense specify a way to measure something like an abstract volume in the neighborhood of a point of a manifold, in such a way that the Jacobian needed for changing coordinates is "built in".
It is sad, tragic even, that the great writing on natural history is closed you by your own impatience.

This article is not the best of its kind, but it is very, very good. Writing that excels it would frustrate you more, in proportion to its quality. The frustration you feel reading it is a pale echo of that experienced by the myriad scientists and amateurs who puzzled in and out of decades over these questions, originally obscure but enlarged by their obdurity to have become symbolic of questions of our own existence.
No, I remember having just used something like "sudo apt-get install synaptics" on Debian/Ubuntu.
If using Google Meet (we do internally):

1) ditto

2) join meeting from ipad (in addition to camera/mic device)

3) present screen from ipad

Then you can use any pencil app you like. I use one called "Coloring" that my kid uses. It's really simple and doesn't get in the way.

I presume the same would work for any other videoconf tool, eg zoom.

The benefit over your method is that you still have the additional headshot view, since you're joined to the meeting twice. Can the jam app not join a google meet "natively"?

It's not collaborative, in that any other participant can edit the drawing, so it doesn't answer the originally posed question. But I've found that for the most part, even in person, just one person really "drives" the whiteboard. With the tiny screen size afforded over video, you aren't really going to benefit much from having multiple people be able to edit anyway. For that kind of collaboration you really need 2-3 6' wide whiteboards in a large room.

I feel the benefit of having a second, independently presenting device for the whiteboard, while still being able to participate with your talking head view, outweighs (by far) the downside of only one editor.

This is obviously not meant to be a real game engine. It shows that GANs can learn not only images but transitions between images given some action, which means they can be used as simulators. See world-models which used VAEs https://worldmodels.github.io/
it kind of just breezes over it without explaining the reasons why DataLoader isn't a good long-term solution

nit: I don't think the author argues that dataloader isn't a good long term solution.

If I had to guess, because it's something that you just turn on in your project and it just works -or doesn't-.

I've used it in a project together with graphql-sequelize, which gives you "automatic" resolvers for your queries. Turn dataloader on, perform a query that uses any of those automatic resolvers and all underlying SQL queries to the same table are magically merged together. Now, replace those automatic resolvers with custom ones and you lose this magic. Now you have to write your own ORM query that groups anything that would end up being multiple queries into one, basically the case the author is pointing out.
"Provoked" is not the right word. Policy makers reacted as slowly as possible, and in quite obtuse ways. The main benefit of the shutdowns was to allow for a few weeks where we could catch our breath from being caught woefully unprepared - proper equipment for healthcare workers, enough N95 masks and hand sanitizer for everybody, new procedures at businesses, etc. Instead politicians continued to do very little or even worked against positive action (just like the month before the shutdowns), and so the news cycle ran its course. Now people are bored of the stalemate, and have devolved into political camps arguing for/against stupid plan A xor stupid plan B. What we really needed and still need is competent leadership with competent public health and competent economic response, especially at the federal level.
