Agreed.
I need to update my gaming rig. Waiting for
- Ryzen 3
- next round of GPUs from both vendors (although ML folks likely stay nVidia of course)
- with luck, a better pcie4 SSD will be out by then too.

I really wouldn't build one now unless I had to.
It doesn't seem to be true. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/smax-factor/
That is true, but Portuguese citizens make a bigger effort to pay those taxes than French, German, Swedish... Tax take as a % of GDP doesn't tell the whole story.
Interesting theory, but this widespread hack pretty much gives most people plausible deniability in my opinion.
I believe no sane service would accept BTC from that address. It is now "stained" and every other address it touches will be too. There are systems that automatically monitor for such scams so it is quite hard to launder $100k.
I keep saying this: the tertiary effects of this pandemic are going to be weird. I’ve predicted that this is America’s bidet moment, but I didn’t have people not smoking on my bingo card!
Looks like that quote was in one of the earlier articles. We've changed the URL a couple times.
Math definitions only..
I think longtom read this as 9k-50k BTC rather than as 9k-50k transactions.
It's so easy for a Twitter user to use a a later compromised 3rd party app, only having to press a button to authorize the entire oauth chain. Look at hosted packages or artifacts in dockerhub, GitHub, ruby, pypi, etc. Malicious things like this are everywhere, dormant on systems until the right group can leverage against end users. Imagine if tweekdeck was compromised.
In a stock scam it is already laundered, because there is no direct flow.
Thats what Bitcoin exchanges in Russia are for.
I know this sounds like a joke but it's not. Didn't a study say that smokers where less likely to catch COVID or get affected by it for whatever reason. I swear I read that here in HN. Too lazy to Google it.

Edit: I googled it, because someone downvoted it me so I guess they didn't appreciate me being lazy.

Perhaps we need a newsfeed that promotes people who post rarely, and demotes people who post often.
More than 130k, that's for sure. It would have to be orders of magnitude larger.
While I was there, increasing diversity wasn't a priority for them. Now that I think about it, I don't remember diversity even as a discussion topic let alone efforts to address it.
For those sorts of scientific simulations, you probably want to use the MPI.jl package rather than the built-in parallelism – at least that’s the conclusion I came to when I started the fluids code I’m currently working on. MPI.jl is a thin wrapper around the C interface so you end up writing your programs pretty much the same way as in C/Fortran. This type of MPI support is still a bit rough around the edges but it works, and our code runs as fast as the Fortran code it is based on (we usually scale to ~1000 cores). You get the advantage of working with a very nice, modern language, but it is pretty easy to accidentally do things that are very expensive and killing your performance, such as allocating memory inside a hot loop.
I doubt the bidet thing is going to happen. TP is back in stock now.
> the de-facto standard for the naming of cs-papers, which demands a pun followed by a quick explanation

I'm reminded of the following wordplay. (I'm ashamed to say I was rather slow to catch the pun when I first heard it.)

The aim of the semantic web is to save the world.
If the twitter security model allows third party apps access to verified high profile accounts without auditing the security of that app it is still a flaw in Twitter's processes.

Twitter after all has a lot higher risk than the 3rd party app, it is in their interest to make sure partners dealing with high profile accounts or partners handling a large volume of accounts are also secure.
Hang on... is it “stolen”? If you trick some people into giving their money to you, it’s unethical, but you didn’t force them to hand you their money against their will.

I would say “taken” is fair; but “stolen” isn’t exactly right.

Plus there is no way it will be that much.
Perhaps you just need a good therapist to lift your spirits. I enjoyed my stay in Attica (not the center of Athens, but I visited it frequently) from 1980 to 1990 and a couple of times later. Greeks (I'm half greek) whine a bit too much (for historical reasons presumably, such a formerly grand civilization faring so poorly today) and this probably affects their opinions of greek bosses. How can they not tolerate procrastination, laziness, moaning!
It's a sidenote, but it's so strange that that would be pocket money for him; just like donating 10$ for us. Gives you a sense of scale.
I'd imagine picking a highly volatile stock with a lot of wallstreetbet bros in it, like TSLA, would serve to helpfully obfuscate your trades and their relationship to the hack.

I disagree. The goal of this question is to see how you utilize domain experts as a resource, add your software expertise, and design a comprehensive solution. It is specifically not a question about what you already know.

In the interview I play the domain expert.

This is exactly what your job will look like: collaborate with domain experts, use your software skills, solve real world problems.

I don’t need an engineer who can build a queue. I need an engineer who can use a queue.
For me it was for different reasons. Third day of cuarantine (Colombia, still ongoing 15 weeks in) I thought this might well be the easiest time to change habits – for the good or bad – for the rest of my life, so I made a couple of drastic changes. Extremly stressful work wise in the beginning in the midst of the lock down chaos, but worked out.

So I'm very curious what long term impact on society we are going to see with that many people having had that extreme and sudden of a change in their lifes. Whether the changes come from fear, protest, boredom, opportunism, etc.
Just imagine trading secrets to foreign actors, or selling misinformation. Can you even think of the covert operations that could have taken place to slowly poison streams of people in the twitter-sphere? This is a big yikes on a platform that "poses" as a platform of democracy and free speech.
Threadripper is the only way to get more than the standard 20 PCIe lanes (and really only 16 lanes to the slots, on all but one board). It's possible that OP would have gone with a lower core count version if one existed, but the minimum buy-in on Threadripper 3000 series is the 24 core model.

tbh this is kind of one of the ideal use-cases for Epyc. And with the way AMD has set up their pricing, it's actually no longer cheaper to use the workstation processors, in some situations it's significantly more expensive, they are really ripping you for the clock speed, and removing a bunch of other features in the process (RDIMM/LRDIMM support, etc). I strongly encourage everyone doing homelab and home ML rigs and similar stuff to really think about whether they want Threadripper, bearing in mind that threadripper is often more expensive than Epyc. It's no longer an obvious choice that server processors are for servers and home users can only afford workstation, it is the other way around.

AMD offers some low-core-count single-socket Epycs that are ideal for "lighting up the platform" tasks like this. Like, 7232P is a $450 processor and the 7402P is $1150. And they don't offer anything like that on Threadripper. They clock slower, sure, but they're not really using the CPU anyway. And that gets you a full 128 PCIe lanes, octochannel memory and RDIMM/LRDIMM support so they can stack in the memory.

If they want to game on it in their spare time then sure, Threadripper is probably the way to go.
That was a wonderfully written and richly enjoyable post. The language is so vivid I felt like I could see it through your eyes.
This is a fever which may kill or cripple the organism, but will probably pass eventually.

Meanwhile, the tweets being criticized are such small potatoes that the lot of signatories seem ridiculous to me. Removing the police is definitely dangerous. I grew up in a high-crime area, mugged 4 times before out of high school, and I definitely needed the police around. Berkeley is considering eliminating real traffic law enforcement. I do not look forward to the deaths that will occur when people speed through streets and stoplights just because they can. We have more than enough people in the Bay Area who will push any envelope that presents itself.

I’ll explore the article with the idea that the disproportionate death rate is caused by disproportionate engagement rate. Intuitively and from personal experience it’s not the entire story but it may have explanatory power. Actual statistics (as opposed to regular lies and damn lies) are really useful and yet are going to anger someone whose worldview becomes endangered, whoever that is. A real scientist follows the data, not the fashion.

Getting police that pay attention to the right things and avoid the wrong things is what we need.
I wasn't exactly thinking Twitter was perfectly or at least very secure. It just kind of blows my mind at the thought that they might not have considered that that kind of scenario was possible or the chance of it happening was so remote that... it ended up happening.

Maybe I just didn't want to worry about it seeing as Twitter provides me with some sort of value and did end up overestimating their level of preparedness and such.

I guess continuing to use Twitter anyways means being exposed to that risk at some point down the line.
I will bite. Without taking a political stance. Imagine you could show GRU that they can make Trump tweet "I just ordered a nuclear strike on..."

What value would you place on this?

The proof will go along with another method of hacking the account that is not disclosed.
Question (I'm not an expert): can unconfirmed transactions be withdrawn? If so, what's the timeline?
Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed reading your comment.
Tldnr: Pinker can publicly say whatever he wishes and participate in any linguist society activities, but his public discourse is at odds with the LSA's officially stated goals. Therefore he should not be given representative powers for the society, which being a distinguished fellow grants him.

Agree with this sentiment or not, but TFA does not do a good job summarising the issue.
I'll summarize this article.

"You say you want free speech, but it is free speech and expression for us to decide and exclude you from our society both economically and socially".

Probably interesting things could have been said and investigated but none of that is to be found. I also find this article confuses countries just to make a point about hypocrisy, for example Jordan Peterson can get away with suing for defamation in the commonwealth because no other country except the US has real freedom of speech/expression laws. In the commonwealth you can just claim you were defamed and the onus is on the defendent to prove they didn't defame you. There was already a famous case about this involving some holocaust denying author who sued a critic and the federal government (note: not US government, we're talking about foreign countries) came down on this critic with the full force of unlimited resources and power forcing them to defend their criticism.

If you write an article like this it would be nice to try and run test cases against your own hypothesis that it is freedom of expression for a vocal majority to exclude somebody economically and socially they disagree with, like what if the comments were socially acceptable when they were made, but no longer are, should you still be removed from society and is this still freedom of expression. Classic example that could have been used is politicians signing petitions in their naive young past that are now socially unacceptable, which are brought out in the current political climate and used as a weapon. Another hypothesis that could have been explored is what if the current social climate is overtly racist, like it's acceptable to hate a specific group, then is it still freedom of expression to cancel that hated group from society using Rwanda as an example and numerous other ethnic conflicts.

tl;dr it would be nice if somebody put some rigor into these kind of articles, like negating your hypothesis and seeing if your claim still holds ie: some signal in the noise. It would also be nice if these author's at least read Orwell's classic essay on how to do political writing: https://www.orwell.ru/library/essays/politics/english/e_poli... while you read this article, look for tired methaphor's like 'preach to the choir'.
I'm not saying that these are all from the hack, I'm saying that the activity on the Bitcoin blockchain has significantly spiked, and it looks like a very large number of transactions have yet to be confirmed. So any amount so far is just the beginning - more is sitting in the mempool ready to be confirmed.
Twitter is 24/7, it's a global company
That sounds much more complicated and likely to involve too many players.
An entire industry – geospatial – and a variety of related industries depend on high-performance CH, Voronoi, and line simplification algorithms, among others. Not to mention their importance in medical imaging applications, tomography (so, in a sense, they directly contribute to healthcare improvements). This should be self-evident, but I can provide further direct evidence if need be; I’ve implemented QuickHull, Visvalingam-Whyatt etc from the papers, and the resulting libraries see enthusiastic use in a variety of sometimes surprising fields. They get lots of attention because the problem domain is well-understood and often resistant to low-hanging optimisation efforts (computational geometry algorithms tend to be difficult to optimise)
Unless they already did their exfil.
I don't think "cancel culture" is a well enough defined term to think much of it.

What I do think is that people who complain about "cancel culture" have questionable motives. Because, and this is anecdotal, it's mostly reactionary grifters on Twitter who bring it up. I acknowledge there are some people who get concerned about it because of who they follow online (I follow Paul Graham, and there are definitely some grifters in his retweets.)
This comment is recklessly ignorant: within 24 hours after your last cigarette, there is already a significant difference in blood pressure, and within a month the lungs have already begun to heal. Within a year the lungs have healed substantially. After a year, a person's risk of having coronary artery disease is cut in half.

Smoking causes permanent damage, but spreading misinformation about "the damage already being done" is really unhelpful.
> Ireland signed ... trade agreements ... is subject to their rules

Sure. If your employment contract prevents you from taking other work, you may be fired if you break this. You may also have signed up to binding arbitration by some weird court.
But normally the 3rd party (your weekend employer, who did not sign) cannot be penalized.

That's what points out how much sovereignty has been given up by Ireland. It has signed up something much more than a trade deal. A foreign court can not just strike down laws it passes, but re-write them retrospectively a decade after the fact.
I think there's two things missing here. One is that not everyone leaves on the same day, so cleaning would still be distributed throughout the week. Secondly. They could still require something like once every 3 days. My room is always spotless when I stay, I don't understand how cleaning it for most people would take much longer.
Are you using it as a daily driver?
I'd guess that Elon's first reaction would be to change the password. Since it's still happening, it's probably back-end.
I’m talking about Apple.
Evolutionary pressure selects for survival, however the "less likely to kill" is entirely your assumption.

Case in point – the second wave of the Spanish flu was much deadlier than the first wave. And the third wave was less deadly than the second, but still more deadly than the first wave.

If the virus infects hosts efficiently, and this one does, no, it will not have evolutionary pressure to be milder.
Specifically the case was whether or not the tax benefits provided can be considered a form of state aid, clearly EU courts don’t think they can. But I suspect that the EU commission will appeal this ruling, and maybe they’ll win the appeal.

If the current tax situation is anything to go by, no government anywhere is competent at taxing multi-nationals. The US made loud noises about the EU trying to force Ireland to tax Apple, but only because the US wants the tax revenue instead, but even the US hasn’t figured out how it’ll actually get Apple to pay more tax.
While we'd hope that most people would be smarter than the send anything incriminating through a DM, the high profile nature of some of these accounts means anything embarrassing in their DMs could have significant value. They already have access to two presidential candidate's accounts and might have access to the incumbent's account even if they didn't post from it.
Well, another post said they changed the emails of accounts affected. So they probably can't personally do anything about it.

Not the greatest, but a quick one: https://www.futurederm.com/beauty-myth-busting-do-women-actu...

This article talks about how it's not 7lbs, it's only 3.7 pounds of exposure (risk of ingestion and absorption) based on estimates and shows their math.

I'm guilty of forwarding a tenuous idea by repeating the 4 pound statement and not explaining the assumptions, but hell, even if it's 1 pound it's still a hell of a lot more than I ever assumed, though keep in mind it's over a lifetime (seven-eight decades).

Point was simply that exposure == some fractional consumption. Smoking a cigar certainly is not healthier for your lungs than abstinence even if you don't deliberately inhale.

> People easily identify that white-boarding interviews suck for more than just the interviewee. And yet any time a solution is proposed that involves doing something other than putting the candidate in a room in front of a whiteboard for an hour, it's shot down.

Most people take issue with the repetition of similar tests and evaluations for multiple companies. If A, B, and C were considered different stages of a technical interview, candidates are repeating A and B too often, whereas applying A and B once would suffice for several companies.

It's a problem that is realized when opportunity cost is compounded when interviewing multiple companies and it's not something that a single company alone can fix. A more "Docker-ish" solution where using one of "A" to lay the foundation for many company interviews (and not just the ones expecting you to practice Leetcode) might curtail the problem of using more time and resources than necessary.

But more than that, there is also a cognitive dissonance with the beliefs of how to reform a broken system. Programmers largely oppose industry-wide regulation while also expecting the vetting process to be more consistent and make more sense. This is a tough nut to crack because we seemingly want to have it both ways.
My understanding is Netflix does not have centralized hiring either?
I quit smoking a few years ago after getting pneumonia in my 20s. Definitely even more glad I did now.
This is the first thing I looked up when I heard about the attack. Surprisingly few transactions given the scale.
Oh man I can relate, I once took a home project which took around 6hrs and then was subsequently invited for a full day of white-boarding with 10 different people throughout the day.

Didn't hit it off with the last interviewer so it was a no-go.

If a take-home is required I'd at least expect a code review over it and focus the rest of the interview process on soft skills rather than trivia questions that are answered essentially by the take-home exercise.
If you do it in "real" markets, you get the attention of the SEC or similar agencies in other countries. Crypto is completely unregulated in this regard.
Are you saying that "dismantling White supremacy" would have been racist in the 1960s because "dismantling Black supremacy" wouldn't have made sense?

Black and White are not interchangeable. For your rule of thumb to make sense, you'd have to believe that Black and White people experience the US in the same way.
Definitely, this is like the theorized “Goldfinger” attack on cryptocurrencies—sabotage the network after building up a sizeable short position in derivatives. However a Goldfinger attack on Twitter stock would be a challenge to hide, since any evidence of anomalous trading patterns could open you up to prosecution by the SEC. Might want to check for any huge buys of daily put options on TWTR...
Use Google, check for 'New York Cops attacked'. You should find several reputable news sites showing police officers being attacked and beaten.

Watch for yourself. Decide where you think the truth lies. I think I could videotape just about any street fight and selectively choose when and for how long to show a clip to fit an agenda....
The limiting factors for bidets were work toilets and the weirdness factor. We’re still working from home (for those who can), and the makers of washlets sold out. They’re going to stop being a weird niche thing, and now it’s going to be a question of what people prefer.
Data theft like that is normally silently dumped after the breach occurs and anyone knows what happened.

This looks more like data injection somewhere. Perhaps an old API exploit. You used to be able to send an SMS to tweet, for example.
It sounds like you are interpreting Paul Graham to mean, 'if one of a person's ideas is conventionally accepted, then the source of that opinion is whatever it's currently acceptable to believe'.

I interpreted this to mean, 'if all of a person's ideas are conventionally accepted, then the source of their opinions are whatever it's currently acceptable to believe'.

Part of why I interpreted this passage the way I did was because this builds on Graham earlier post titled 'What You Can't Say':

> Let's start with a test: Do you have any opinions that you would be reluctant to express in front of a group of your peers?

> If the answer is no, you might want to stop and think about that. If everything you believe is something you're supposed to believe, could that possibly be a coincidence? Odds are it isn't. Odds are you just think what you're told. [1]

The <4U size was meant as approximation of the expected market segment and the number itself came to me as “anything smaller than smallest 6k5”. In fact I just wanted to avoid the “entry-level” moniker.

Another question is router vs. switch. And as for routers I'm still somewhat discontent with Cisco's marketing wrt. CEF which on “small-ish” Cisco platforms simply meant implementing routing logic in software in exactly same way as any OS with BSD derived IP stack instead of the original IOS braindead implementation.

And as for hardware redundancy: I have large amount of stories that somewhat discredit the idea of low level redundancy (ie. you remove the SPOF and replace it with another failure point in the fail over logic that is guaranteed to fail in ways that nobody understands). And two of these stories with largest impact involve Cisco hardware.
