Your first point sounds accurate to me.

I think what we're seeing is the solidification of identity in such strong and unyielding terms that anything that threatens that identity immediately triggers a basic survival instinct. At that point, rational discourse is not possible.
Automating Threat Intel with NLP: Grasping Concepts from Underground Discussions
Very interesting article detailing how to use Latent Dirichlet Allocation to extract topics from cybersecurity vulnerabilities, then use the model to track the most trending topics from online discussions. By mapping back the extracted trends to the vulnerabilities topics, it is possible to rank the most attractive and exploitable vulnerabilities. Very concise and intuitive.
Then you get nowhere. The actually compliant popups (maybe about 1/3?) have a really hard to see "reject" button somewhere, while the others make it impossible or force you to click "learn more" (of course customzation options are behind that, very logical yes) and deselct everything manually.

Asshole design ("dark patterns") should be illegal generally, but in this case it already clearly is. Can we have some enforcement, already? Ideally for both buyers and sellers of the terrible stuff.
Also ARM, sometimes, on AWS. A1 = first generation of Gravitron.

Of course second generation uses names like m6g to keep us on our toes..

Given how Bolsonaro was ignoring the pandemic, I believe that if we used contact tracing, we would probably find that Bolsonaro is the biggest single spreader of COVID-19 in Brazil.
Well, there’s the coming up with an algorithm

Then there is the teaching it in schools to new comp sci people, as part of a curriculum designed to help you understand basic principles

Then there are implementations on various environments, constant optimizations, witness the JS engine wars for instance

People specialize in their own industryon various niches — primitives, or combining primitives, etc. And algorithms are just one part of an industry!

How many of you want to invent your own SHA1 or BLS signatures LOL

You just use them and they have documented properties and guarantees.

These are building blocks people use. This thing about glorifying algorithms is sort of an “applied maths” mentality. And models like Black-Scholes therefore become taught everywhere and become self-fulfilling prophecies.

But really, math is just a very simplified version of computing and modeling. People operate with maybe 10-20 symbols throughout the entire thing. There are many things — like the game of life and New Kind of Science - that you can’t describe in analytic form.
Actually was pretty nice once used to it, especially for GPGPU, which didn't need a crazy mindwrap like with the old OpenGL ES.

Obviously they can push it because of the platform. But developing with it is not very different from CUDA/OpenCL.
Navigator – Workspaces for Remote Meetings
I'm actually quite surprised that Apple allows apps on the App Store that make system calls directly, as those are as "private API" as you can possibly get. Also,

> I need to be honest, this is a very annoying way how they check for injection because it is annoying to fix. Instead of using getenv they use the environ variable. Since it is a variable, you can not “hook” it.

Once you have code execution I don't see why you can't just go change it back to how it should look…

One more interesting fact is that the checks mentioned here often catch people who are jailbreaking…and people who look like they are jailbreaking, like Apple employees with internal devices. They're indiscriminate, so if you're thinking of implementing these in your app and the many other reasons to not do so aren't enough for you, consider that you may end up annoying a number of engineers at the company that you're solely dependent on to distribute your application.
People not willing to venture out their echo chambers is bad, but much better than being hell bent on taking away the livelihood of others for bad tweets.
This is a reality that exists in any limited market. Tools like nginx and mysql count their for-profit users in the in the millions. This means that there are tremendous opportunities for supporting development. By this I mean, companies and entities who use the FOSS products to support of their for-profit business in other domains, not directly profiting from the FOSS.

FOSS development isn't cost-less. And so the business equation is always present.

The degree to which purely academic support for open source can make progress is asymptotic. People need to eat, pay rent, have a life, which means someone has to pay for something. It might not be directly related to the FOSS tool, but people have to have income in order to contribute to these efforts.

It is easy to show that something like Linux is likely the most expensive piece of software ever developed. This isn't to say the effort was not worth it. It's just to point out it wasn't free, it has a finite cost that is likely massive.

An industry such as chip design is microscopic in size in terms of the number of seats of software used around the world. I don't have a number to offer, but I would not be surprised if the user based was ten million times smaller than, say, the mysql developer population (if not a hundred million).

This means that nobody is going to be able to develop free tools without either massive altruistic corporate backing for a set of massive, complex, multi-year projects. If a company like Apple decided to invest a billion dollars to develop FOSS chip design tools and give them away, sure, it could happen. otherwise, not likely.
Thank you for a nice illustration.
Exactly. F-1 is already very very restrictive. Enforcing this rule is bad and doesn't take any account any sort of local differences.

What if the state close all college campuses ? Sorry, bye bye, go home.
I noticed that too. Many of them seem to be downvoted for using specific viewpoints as examples.
Hand washing is a must. German studies have found people infected each other passing salt shakers and lighters. Whilst we can't tell what vector the virus took, the lighter incident happened outside AFAIK, so likely it was from hand contact.
The answer is pretty obvious, the current system is what Google wants. It’s perfect in their eyes.
That's not terribly long ago, really. My understanding is that a sizeable chunk of performance gains since then have come from architectural improvements.
How do you avoid external dependencies in this situation? If you're only testing the public interface, then you have to expose some kind of public dependency injection pattern. Now you've introduced a level of indirection into the production code specifically to make testing easier. This feels like an antipattern.

It's how I do it, but I'm not satisfied with it. It makes the code harder to read, I sometimes miss bugs because my injected mocks don't handle an edge case correctly, and the effort of maintaining the mocks themselves is non-trivial.
COVID is the massive elephant in the room that this article doesn't fully address. Everyone is very focused on GDP, but this is merely a single metric. What about new cases, patients hospitalized, patients dying from COVID? These have dramatic repercussions for economic policy, and it seems the countries doing the best right now economically are those who handle COVID the best.
Not to be insensitive, but what's the death rate for healthy individuals in his age range? Next to zero? Italy reported that 99% of those who died from Corona had other health issues.[1] In my county (county, not country) it was reported that 99.4% of our Covid cases have recovered, and that was just the cases that were tracked. Yes, the vulnerable should be taken care of, but legitimately asking - why is there still hysteria over this?

It's even worse than that. On AWS, A1 is ARM. The successor to A1 is M6G.

Meanwhile M5A, as you note, is AMD.
I find this sad as well, particularly since, in my experience, explaining that nuance makes for excellent papers. I have found reviewers actually respond positively to being upfront about limitations, along with discussions about why. Because that is not the norm, it ends up being novel. But, because it requires nuance, it depends on an ability to write well.

Contrary to most people, in my experience managing technical people is the same as managing anyone else. The best general management book I've read is: Becoming the Evidence Based Manager.

Hi-sense has one coming to market. Dual layer lcd.

Ive read somewhere that i cant find currently that due to the second layer its much worse energy efficiency wise than current backlit tvs and may fail energy standards from various organizations and may not be able to be sold. (EU maybe).

Oled is coming down in price though, itll be interesting to see if its price competitive.

In an ideal world, this is where the legislature steps in and passes a law that allows these students to stay for the 2020-21 school year, rather than assuming the executive branch just selectively continues non-enforcement of this requirement.

If you're a US citizen, you can contact your representative/senators offices and ask them to deal with this.
My reading is that it is not that much about open standards between components (which are supposed to be somewhat open and interoperable already), but about open and vendor-neutral OAM interfaces.
Worse than that, "A"/"a" on AWS can actually mean AMD or ARM. An "a1.large" instance is an instance with a first-gen Graviton ARM CPU (whereas the second-gen Graviton2 ARM CPUs are something like "c6g.large"). A "c5a.large" is an instance with a x86 AMD CPU.
I didn't actually check the timestamp. The other one had comments and more upvotes, so I thought it might be helpful to direct people over there.
I agree with the other posters that the intro to NLP part is unnecessary. It reads like those recipe websites where they tell you their whole life story before the actual recipe. I get that it's good for SEO, but it's still annoying to read.

Did you try other solutions like ULMFiT [1]? Seems like the exact use case for that. Although it might be overkill for just 4 categories.

Now, when looking at the short-term (historically speaking), Kaczynski's actions have been a resounding success. The manifesto and his other works are read by millions--far far more than if they were published traditionally where they would have been buried or left obscure. You may disagree with this point given the new media technologies and their leverage. But even in that case this overlooks a far more important aspect relating to revolutionary dynamics: Kaczynski's works have established themselves as the most radical and oppositional ideas in our world today by virtue of their violent context. This has the (necessary) effect of preventing the ideas from being co-opted and keeping away mild, reformist types who are offended by the actions (which is exactly what you WANT to do in the formation of any revolutionary movement).

From the technical side:

We had this ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P3P ). It didn't catch on.

> It makes no sense that blocking cookies should be done via inconststent and dubious interfaces implemented by the websites themselves.

It also makes no sense that authentication should be done via inconsistent and dubious interfaces implemented by the websites themselves. Browsers have offered login prompts for years, yet they're usually avoided. Some sites hijack scrollbars, so it's not particularly surprising.

From the legal side:

GDPR is not about "cookie banners". It's perfectly fine to use cookies, or any other personal/tracking data, if the user's consent is implied. For example login sessions, shopping carts, game highscores, etc. would break without cookies or something equivalent, and those are features that users want, so we can assume their implicit consent for such cookies. GDPR is perfectly unobtrusive (for end users, at least).

On the other hand, users don't want to be tracked and surveilled. Hence anyone collecting personal data for those reasons cannot assume implicit consent. The choice is simple: either stop doing it, or ask for explicit consent. If you're seeing obnoxious "cookie banners", it's because the operators of those sites would rather mess up their UX with annoying crap, rather than entertain the idea of not being a creepy stalker.

From a pragmatic point of view, making it easier (or even automatic!) for users to give up their rights, in a blanket way to anyone who asks them to, just so unscrupulous corporations don't have to experience negative repercussions of their user-hostile decisions, would seem to defeat the whole point of GDPR.

If you don't want to see "cookie banners", ask the site operators to stop being creeps; that way, they wouldn't need to ask.
I’ve heard it described as a “self licking ice cream cone”

I think the Dunbars number idea is interesting in terms of possibly describing how our organizational scaling has outpaced our biology
I believe I’m going through the same journey as you are and what I use as practice is:

- Before getting into a meeting when I’m expected to present information I run all the talking points (and expected questions) and think through how I will explain it using the least amount of words
- Whenever writing an email I do the same process. Write the draft version and look for sentences where I think I can replace a sequence of words for a single one. Rinse and repeat until the email is a short as it can be

Both activities will force me to search (and recall) words that didn’t come to me at first. After using the same words a few times they will get stuck in my brain and come more naturally the next time. If you keep repeating the process eventually you will become more articulate and communicate more clearly
That's an interesting idea. Could default to slow performance served directly off your laptop, and if it goes viral the network automatically moves it to a CDN at no extra cost to you. As an extra bonus, whatever small fee you pay to buy in isn't a complete waste of money, because presumably you get value from the viral content of others, ie as a consumer of their content.
He was one of the first to bring COVID-19 to Brazil in a visit to the US in March. So one can truly say that he has spread the virus to millions.
home schooling comes in many forms. Some are groups of people that get together and rotate duties. Some are groups that hire specialist teachers.

There are charter schools, magnet schools, and academically focused private schools. Ultimately though if your child is too gifted you will need private tutors. You dont need the tutors all day and you can supplement with other more cost effective methods as above.

My city even has a school for girls that are preparing to compete in non academic subjects and that want to practice for half the day. Academics are only half day and then they do whatever their passion is for the rest of the day.
I guess this is a bit like the Someone Else's Problem phenomenon. Nobody needs to know about compilers, operating systems or analysis of algorithms because Somebody Else will deal with those things.
Just build websites that comply to GDPR per default and leave that crap away. Many people don't even seem to know this is possible. They believe Cookie consent is something everybody has to do on their website and if they don't do it they are in danger.
> it would be nice to call it out

I think it's important to consider the primary audience here. If this were a Wikipedia article, a neutral perspective would be important, yes. But this isn't a Wikipedia article. It's a persuasion piece aimed at the members of the left, and writing from the perspective of the left (or at least not from blatantly outside that perspective) makes it more effective.
Change the title in HN to something unique like "Playing with Blue Slime"

Why are you using in YouTube as the title the shortened version of the video? Change them to "Playing with Blue Slime" and "Playing with Pink Slime with a strange illumination" (choose something more accurate).

I don't expect this to get too much traction. Do you make your own slime? Is there some more technical video?

"Flu-like symptoms" and "the flu" are not the same thing. COVID-19 is not the flu (and it's substantially more fatal than what we term "the flu", as well). SARS-CoV-2 causes a number of symptoms not typically seen in flu, as well; it is not "the exact same illnesses".

I agree. I’m certainly taking it from my own point of view, and I might be overloading “swindle”. It’s probably a bad choice of a word here. It would have to be on case by case basis anyway, but even with the inflexibility of the system and the impossibility of jail time for every theft case, I think it would have to be at least an option when the intent on scamming for the purpose of selling the data (like those mailing lists) is clear.

It's because there is no "case by case" decision or any nuance. There is no "treated in a special manner". If you can't follow your classes in person, you have to leave.
If you don't, you probably won't be deported per so, but in the future, any benefits (like employment) can/will be denied.
> No. I think you're just not connected to those already suffering. Some people are living in hell today. [1]

If you think things can't or won't get even worse, you're being too optimistic. Even if you think some people are already experiencing a maximally bad time, "some" can become "more".
Looking to many people that I know that I quite obvious.

Plenty of people are still not able to work, and it is not like everyone can work from home.
> There are more thing in my life than just ordering things as fast as possible.

On a purely personal level, it's not so much the speed as it is the need to get it done and move on with my life. If I need to order something, I want to just do it and forget about it for a few days (or whatever) until it arrives in the mail. If I have to come back later, that's one more thing for my mental to-do list.
My point was that ‘120g of sifted flour’ is a declarative statement. It describes a quantity of an ingredient.

‘Sift one cup of flour’ or ‘measure 1 cup of sifted flour’ are procedural statements. They describe a process to acquire a quantity of an ingredient.

And that, in general, the declarative form is better.
I think most of the people being able to speak against the mob opinion have many things in common. They are rich, famous, and are generally hard to cancel. Carmack, JKRowling and maybe even pinker are in this category. For example, one writer got fired just for tweeting "I stand with JK Rowling". (https://www.scotsman.com/news/people/scots-author-sacked-bac...) . Many professors have been suspended just for not speaking tone in tone with the popular opinion. If Pinker wasn't this famous, he might have been fired by now.
No. We have an inherent sense of fairness and at the scale the average person would not work for free. It’s the opposite, FOSS has infected our thinking, causing young people to work for free for idealistic reasons while corporations take their work and make billions. Linus Torvalds should be a billionaire right now, more than Bezos and Gates.
As someone who was a pretty early Slashdot user -- apparently, my user number there is 3616 -- I think the meta-moderation mostly worked. That's not a universally shared opinion. :) But I thought that the discussion level was consistently decent throughout the 2000s, and I think the moderation system definitely helped there. On the other hand, the multiple layers of user moderation require at least a handful of users to be regular "comment gardeners," which probably requires a fairly large user base to be viable.

(I drifted away sometime around when they were bought by Dice; I can't swear there's a causal connection, but it seemed to me the site kind of lost its mojo through the 2010s.)
They could possibly store such information using DeviceCheck, but yeah, bypassing their restrictions is fairly trivial in the real world if you put just a bit of effort into it…
You are right about wanting to know exactly of course.

I have a question though: What could Telegram have done, once unblocked by Russian government, to make sure we know exactly and don't need to be suspicous?
I think this is why we often get that "this call may be recorded for training purposes" message while waiting in the call center queue? Even if they're not actually keeping all those recordings, they can pass the legal test by saying that they do.
Entertain? Sure. But you're also talking about "mainstream media". If we had an unbiased media outlet making this accusation, I think it might make sense. But any person center or right-of-center makes no bones about the fact that all of the major media outlets are left and getting "more lefter" all the time.

I'm not aware of anyone on the right advocating that words are acts of violence. It might be possible, but I _know_ it comes from the left.

That said, that conservatives don't speak up more about this type of stuff is concerning. They are, after all, supposed to be about the business of "conserving" things.

That said, that they even published this letter is at least a breath of fresh air. Regardless of the view, I'm glad that there is a call to examine this.
