I learned English in the MMO Runescape, bartering for items and getting help on quests. I basically never had to study for any English class since primary school because I was always slightly ahead of where the class was due to obsessively playing video games.
This is so cool! Can it be set up to track both players in an lichess game as a spectator? I think that'd be pretty cool, having a self playing chess board as a display piece.
AMD's DMTF DASH is absolutely remotely accessible, that is its main purpose. See, for example, https://developer.amd.com/tools-for-dmtf-dash/ (AMD's developer site is currently down, but there's an archived copy at http://archive.is/HHEwh) which states "DASH is a web services based standard for secure out-of-band and remote management of desktops and mobile systems. Client systems that support out-of-band management help IT administrators perform tasks independent of the power state of the machine or the state of the operating system. Examples of out-of-band management tasks include: 1) Securely starting up a system remotely, even if it is currently powered off; 2) Viewing asset inventory information for a system that is powered off; 3) Retrieving health information about system components even if the OS is unavailable." All of these things require remote access.

Yep.
Hi hackers.

If you are interested in the details of Syncit, you can check my introduction post: http://www.myriptide.com/syncit-introduction.
I feel like this thread has been posted more than a couple of times lately, or am I imagining things?

Anyways I built a quick bot to connect Calendly to Slack[1] as people in my sales team where requesting "native" integration (plus we didn't want to pay for multi-user access on Zapier)

Unfortunately it works only with Calendly Pro and Premium accounts, but looking into workarounds for free users (leveraging gCal)

The biggest one of those was Stalin's refusal to believe that Germans would attack the USSR, even when it was so imminent that all alarms were going off (and duly reported to him as such).
In a Chrome dominated browser market, how much choice do the other browsers have?
As other commenters have covered, SETI makes a whole lot of assumptions about what extraterrestrial contact would look like and wastes time exploring the hypothesis that another civilization would behave just like us in our infancy, except at a time when they have the capability and surplus energy to transmit signals many orders of magnitude stronger than we do.

To my knowledge, we are not currently transmitting sustained signals that would be detectable through the noise by any neighboring systems, and to do so for any sustained period of time, let alone a significant enough amount of time to be noticed (geological time scale) AND then wait for a response would take a ridiculous amount of energy, and provide no return on investment for literally thousands of generations. And even then, that return on investment might just be an invasion.

So in my opinion, SETI is a poor use of compute and investigating the more credible of the tens of thousands of as-of-yet unexplained UFO reports would be a better use of time. Either they are already here, or we will not have the tools to discover neighbors (if they exist) until our technology is far more advanced.
The problem is that the code $element("span", text) looks harmless, appears to work, and yet is dangerously wrong.

Dynamically setting text is very common. While dynamically setting innerHTML is a rare and dangerous operation which should be explicit in the code. The alternative syntax also supported by this function $element("span", { innerHTML: html }) is much better.
I'm not sure this is the whole story, Intel has twice the L2 cache as AMD but I'm not sure that's enough to make a huge difference.

Epyc 7H12[1]:

- L1: two 32KiB L1 cache per core

- L2: 512KiB L2 cache per core

- L3: 16MiB L3 cache per core, but shared across all cores.

The L1/L2 cache aren't yet publicly available for any Cooper Lake processors, however the previous Cascade Lake architecture provided:

All Xeon Cascade Lakes[2]:

- L1: two 32 KiB L1 cache per core

- L2: 1 MiB L2 cache per core

- L3: 1.375 MiB L3 cache per core (shared across all cores)

Normally I'd expect the upcoming Cooper Lake to surpass AMD in L1, and lead further in L2 cache. However it looks like they're keeping the 1.375MiB L3 cache per core in Cooper Lake, so maybe L1/L2 are also unchanged.

Edit: Previously I showed EPYC having twice the L1 as Cascade Lake, this was a typo on my part, they're the same L1 per core.
The company who has the best latency would still beat the competitors.
My grandmother has an Ipad and an IPhone. We sometimes video call her on here phone using whatsapp. But this works around 50% of the time correctly and the other times we just call using a regular land line phone. She uses the Ipad only as a image viewer. We showed her multiple times how to google something but that is just to difficult for her. But she understands how to watch the photo's we put on the device, and she really likes to watch the old photo's of all our vacations together. So my recommendation would be use something that your grandmother is already comfortable with and start thinking from there. Introducing something new can be hard for her even if it is simpeler.
It does in the iPad so I we can probably expect that.
I guess the only way would be to have some sort of educational material that involves both parent and child.
Thank you, It does appear I am hopefully confused between hyperbolic and Lorentzian :) Thanks for patiently showing me where I am going wrong. For my selfish benefit, could you please collect the definitions of (i) Hyperbolic space (ii) Minkowski space (iii) Lorentzian manifold (iv) Pseudo Riemannian manifold?
Looks like the journalist is trying to convince us that Google is in fact a company created by the CIA.
It's amazing that the CIA had already predicted that Google would beat Yahoo!, Lycos, Altavista, and Ask.com in 1995.
there is no mainstream ARM laptop as of writing.

what are my options if I want a ARM laptop with say good mobile processor performance close to the i7-8850H found in a 2018 mbp 15, 16GB RAM and 512GB NVME SSD to setup my day to day dev environment (Linux + Golang + C++ etc)?

surface x is the only ARM laptop you can easily purchase, but it is windows only and the processor is way too slow. there is also close to 0 response from app vendors to bring their apps to native ARM windows environment.
Even if the stated “Seabed 2030 has a desire for a resolution of at least 100m everywhere” were correct I doubt it, but it seems to be incorrect. https://seabed2030.gebco.net/faq/#q5:

Depth range Grid cell size % of world ocean floor
0– 1500 m 100 × 100 m 13.7
1500– 3000 m 200 × 200 m 11
3000– 5750 m 400 × 400 m 72.6
5750–11000 m 800 × 800 m 2.7

MH370 could be 4000 m down, and broken apart.
To quote Linus Torvalds:

"Some people think that "the cloud" means that the instruction set doesn't matter. Develop at home, deploy in the cloud.

That's bull*t. If you develop on x86, then you're going to want to deploy on x86, because you'll be able to run what you test "at home" (and by "at home" I don't mean literally in your home, but in your work environment)."

So I would argue there is a strong connection.
Exactly. As one's bullshit meta-knowledge increases, the precise jargon required to distinguish between higher and lower level's of bullshit, and the relative meaning topology between bullshit in overlapping social contexts, will eventually sound like actual bullshit to the pre-initiate bullshit novice.

I think I stated all that with proper precision.
There are also more feature rich control panels:

For some use cases, these can feel bloated, so I understand there could be room for a more minimalistic option.
I don't think you should be attacking me personally. If your counterpoint is strong, make it without getting vicious.

There are far more complicated economic activities that have been tailored and modified to present circumstances.
Really excellent book - amazing that Thatcher had to overrule the ambassador to get him exfiltrated.
Tech workers are only 7-12% of the population. Unless other industries also go remote and move away, the Bay Area is still going to have local and foreign speculators cashing in on a severe housing shortage.
*Pantheon (ou you mean the Phartenon in Greece?)

They made working keyboards for years and have gone back to doing so. The bit in the middle was a blip.
I completely agree. There's a sort of modern sentiment that a reference is funny in itself, and that fourth-wall is funny just by being fourth-wall.

I also had the feeling it was a little too proud of some of its (other) jokes, and wore them out.
They make the CIA sound positively competent.
77MB for 56 cores. That's that ploy where they basically glued two sockets together so they could claim a performance per socket advantage even though it draws 400W and that "socket" doesn't even exist (the package has to be soldered to a motherboard).

IIRC the only people who buy those vs. the equivalent dual socket system are people with expensive software which is licensed per socket.
Are you sure about that? They would on average perhaps be a slight bit faster, but if the randomized delays are an order of magnitude larger than the latency, they may not be able to do anything useful with that advantage.
Of course it's nonsense. Lots of lagging, jittering and interference. People should use cable whenever possible. But Apple marketed wireless as being 'revolution' and suggested cable-less workspace and people liked it.
They could collect all issued transactions in a ~100ms time window, process them in a randomized order, and publish new prices after that.
Ants can live in the middle of a city and have no idea what a city is, what humans are, or what human culture is - including the Internet.

They're physically surrounded by a far more advanced civilisation and it's literally invisible to them because it's incomprehensible to the ant mind, and it doesn't communicate by leaving scent trails.

We could be living inside the alien equivalent and we'd have no idea either, because we wouldn't be able to see it - never mind understand it. Maybe once every few million years something random and inexplicable would happen, but that would be all the evidence we'd get.
This is exactly the scenario in the books ;)
If anyone stumbles across this thread in future...

RCMP have again directly denied the suggestions in this story that he worked for them and said the money was his own;

> "What I can confirm at this point is that it appears that the gunman liquidated personal investments from his own bank accounts and converted them to cash prior to the shootings"

The government already has infinite cash, yet Brin is faster in sending disaster relief. Would more cash somehow make the government's response quicker?

In my opinion, it is great we have ultra-rich people who decide to spend their resources in ways that help others in ways the government currently isn't able to.
I don't know this, but I suspect any pro users who want absolute performance may be left with an uninterested apple.

High-end desktops and cloud systems are getting really amazing performance, with 32 and 64-core threadrippers compiling the linux kernel befo[compile complete!]re you can finish your thought.

I think this is a by-product of amd and intel serving the cloud market, and it just happens to benefit the high-end desktops.

Would apple invest in a many many core pro machine just for the (whatever low number) of pro users they have?
Or PineTab with a browser in kiosk mode (Surf?) pointing to a meet.jit.si room :)

It's a breeze to set up with NixOS as long as you're not afraid of the command line, and easy to remotely manage with SSH and fully reproducible configuration. Hit me up for a free sample VM :)
I wonder how many HNers ever experienced landline phone quality. Mobile phone quality seems to have become even worse lately. I wonder if this is partly due to handsets being optimised for use as a mini tablet rather than a telephone. Internet based voice communication is as bad as ever in terms of latency. Landlines provided just enough clarity but most important low enough latency to actually feel like you're talking to someone. I often think internet based voice would be better if we used half-duplex talking protocols (like a walkie-talkie).
I started a freestyle newsletter for sharing knowledge I get from the internet.

Quickly I reaized the existing solutions are limited. So I started developing my own Email Platform, which is in early stage currently and can only send dynamic mails for now but I plan to grow it into a single blogging cum newsletter platform going forward.
The project isn't online yet but my newsletter is: https://linktr.ee/Knowledgeday
Actual great learning games do exist, but the real awesome ones are rare.

See this 2012 thread on a truly awesome algebra learning game, and this stays relevant to this day. To the best of my knowledge, it is still the best and fastest way to learn how to solve an equation for x. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4188579
Like Meltdown and Spectre?
An Echo Show device matches most of your requirements: low configuration, remotely manageable, plus it's voice-managed. Sadly there are no 4G versions, but you could solve it with a small plugged 4G router.
In this series they move on to gravitational waves.
But that's the other way round. If you have an x86 PC, you can develop x86 cloud software easily. You don't develop cloud software on a mac anyway (i.e., that's not apple's focus). You develop mac software on macs for other macs. If you have to develop cloud software, you'll do so on linux (or wsl or whatever). What is the grand plan here ? You'll run an arm linux vm on your mac to develop general cloud software which will be deployed on graviton ?
Haxe 4.1.2 Is Released
The way it is now the company that's invested the most in communications and is better located wins. Meritocracy is good.
Those applications exist, but not enough to justify Intel’s market cap.

Because if you're developing apps to run in the cloud, it's preferable to have the VM running the same architecture that you're developing on.
Is it possible to create kernel modules for both OpenBSD and Linux with common code that's licensed appropriately? Something like a library with two kernel API glue layers, one for Linux GPLed and one for OpenBSD.

The IEX stock exchange uses fibre to introduce a fixed delay - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEX

"This 350 microsecond delay adds a round-trip delay of 0.0007 seconds and is designed to negate the certain speed advantages utilized by some high-frequency trader"

I watched this short video about it too -

Yes they're mundane, but the "linear map between different vector spaces" case is pretty much the only thing they can do.

Think of it as type casting in programming languages, you only do it when you need, but the real work is done processing elements of the same type.

If that wasn't the case, then non-square matrices would have all the "cool" properties of the square ones.

Yes I might be picking at straws here, and I agree it might confuse people even more, but this weirdness of matrices hasn't escaped me since I've learned about it. And then when you get to vectors it all makes sense. Hum...
I’m leaning towards this, at least from a hardware standpoint it sounds like an echo show is a good bet (assuming there is WiFi or a hotspot). Can one be set up without a mobile phone number though? I’m reading about them, and that sounds like it might be a sticking point.
I think all of that is because of "the triangle".

the vertices would be power, heat and perf.

Apple just hasn't shipped an arm chip with high power and "excessive" cooling.
Because when you get buggy behaviour from some library because it was compiled to a different architecture it's much easier to debug it if your local environment is similar to your production one.

Yeah, I'm able to do remote debugging in a remote VM but the feedback loop is much longer, impacting productivity, morale and time to solve the bug, a lot of externalised costs that all engineers with reasonable experience are aware of. If I can develop my code on the same architecture that it'll be deployed my mind is much more in peace, when developing in x86_64 to deploy on ARM I'm never sure that some weird cross-architecture bug will pop up. No matter how good my CI/CD pipeline is, it won't ever account for real-world usage.

It would be much wider, because the dumber your pricing, the less certain you can be about how the price may move, so you have to be more cautious and quote wider.
She’s unfortunately not a smartphone or tablet user at the moment, and I doubt that she has any desire (or ability) to learn how to use one... Basically I want a landline phone that can also do video
> Does anybody here think that even adopting and correctly practicing all practically deployed recommendations of the security industry that a system could resist such an attack?

There are multiple examples of organizations successfully thwarting advanced attacks by following (and exceeding) industry best practices. Most of that stuff isn't disclosed to the public unfortunately. Coinbase incident from the last year is one such example: https://blog.coinbase.com/responding-to-firefox-0-days-in-th...
Oh no, the government knows which movies and series from a very limited and pre-filtered catalogue i have legally watched. Assuming Netflix has anything to do with mass surveillance seems rather absurd; or maybe I just haven't found the terror training section yet.
I think when a threat comes along, intel steps up.

they WILL compete, and they've been playing leapfrog with AMD for years.

I'm waiting to see the intel response for the new 32 and 64 core chips from amd.
The crypto wasn't at all the criticism most (any?) people had with Vista.

My criticism is that they didn't implement the Vista-era crypto enough.

In 2020, most Microsoft software doesn't support ECC certificates because their server products are still written to use the 2000/XP/2003 era crypto APIs instead of the Vista and later crypto APIs.

I remind you that none of those operating systems are supported any longer, but apparently for "comptibility reasons" SQL Server 2019, AD FS 2019, and System Centre 2019 can't use elliptic certs. Or use TPM-hosted certs. Or anything at all really other than RSA 2048-bit certs stored in software.

IIS can, but that's the lone exception, not the rule.
Something i don't get about microsoft not porting its suite to ARM when releasing the surface Pro :

What's so hard about it ? Your code is supposed to use something like a C stdlib, which has been ported to ARM obviously. So what makes it so much harder than to recompile everything?

Once the OS is ported, the system libraries are available, and the programming language has a compiler for the target architecture, i don't understand what's blocking.

I got my start on a DikuMUD running from the pulmonary labs at UBC (AoD, if you're still out there, thank you). I was still a high school student at the time, but fortunately there was an unprotected dialup (604-822-2222) into the NIM system, from which you simply typed in the IP address of the machine you wanted to connect to.

This was my gateway into serious programming. I'd already learned some C, but the idea of a networked multiplayer RPG really stoked my interest in network programming as I tried to write my own MUD from scratch, and it's because of this that I chose BCIT to study in the datacomm program.
I personally think most games just aren't realistic enough. There is this game where you use a plasma cutter to take a space ship apart. The plasma cutter doesn't actually slice panels in half. They just disappear.

Minecraft is a bad game for learning to how to craft in real life because there is this work bench thing that does everything from basic wood working to building industrial machines. You don't need a hammer, screwdriver, drill, bench vice, manual saw, etc. There are some mods that force you to use basic chemistry to do things like create sulfuric acid or electrolysis to separate hydrogen and oxen in a long chain [0] to finally get a 4x multiplier on your ore. Those were a learning opportunity but the rest of the game just isn't like that.

There are games like cataclysm dda that at least require you to have the right tools to craft something but that game is already hard enough as it is even though its crafting menu is a huge oversimplification.

The closer these games get to reality the better they teach you about the real world.

The original story makes little difference. Nor is the quality of the search engine developed of any relevance to the issue raised in this article. The founders originally told us in their 1990's paper for TREC (text retrieval conference) that they were making a search engine to help us avoid advertising. Somewhere along the line, they changed their minds. A database of users was born. This is the fundamental issue.

The act of compiling an enormous database of individual users through a massive personal data collection effort, storing it permananently for the purpose of providing online ad services, is useful to certain parties who have the capability or legal authority to obtain this data from Google. The data these parties may want can be just a covert intercept (Snowden revelations) or subpoena away. The data has been, whether intentionally or not, collected and stored for their use, when they need it. This is the consequence of what Google does, vacuuming up all this personal data. The data store exists, Google created it at their own (and our) expense, and history shows third parties will get access to it, whether Google or its users like it or not. The data store is a potential liability for users and an asset for Google, plus those third parties.
