Hi and congratulations for the article on IEEE.

The article makes the point that your technique will give an advantage to academic teams that don't have the resourcers of big corporations. To me it seems that your technique optimises the use of available resources, but the amount of available resources remains the deciding advantage. That is to say, both large corporate teams and smaller academic teams can improve their use of resources using your proposed approach, but large corporate teams have more of those than the smaller academic teams. So the large corporate teams will still come up ahead and the smaller academic teams will still be left "in the dust" as the article puts it. What do you think?

But when your neighbour has an economy 100x the size of yours, and hands your cartels several billion dollars a year, you really have not realistic chance at all.
Are you saying bats weren't sold/used as food in Wuhan?

The source of the power of the cartels lies north of the border. It's not possible to fight them only in Mexico without tackling their funding sources.

After following KnuJoN nothing would surprise me with ICANN unless it was good. It needs to die and everything it has touched moved somewhere else that cannot be manipulated like it is now and out of reach of the US.
Training is not the answer to security problems, as empirically it has no effect. The only measures that work are technological, like U2F keys.
Many minimum-wage workers desperately need that income (maybe not middle-class teens working summer jobs) so it's unsurprising that they'll come to work sick.
Thanks, that's very interesting.

The benefit of threads - green or not - is also that you can maintain the state in the stack and benefit from functional style programming, which is generally more robust and easier to write compared to state machines.

Parallelism has many forms and from my experience you can always find ways of minimizing synchronization in particular tasks. For example, you can sometimes replace a whole queue with a single atomic pointer when you know messages override previous ones semantically, i.e. the consumer is only ever interested in the most recent one.

I second the request, and consider a lack of answer to be somewhat damning.

For the most part I feel that the 'general' HN toward various forms of therapy is often a bit too harsh. If research indicates that an approach works for 'some types of cases', HN comments often criticize it for not working across the board. Or a lack of overwhelming evidence is considered enough reason to reject the whole thing.

My personal 'minimum' is that there should be some evidence, that isn't too shoddy, that an approach works.

If that minimum isn't met and if users can try an approach for free (like this app?), I feel the placebo effect makes it too easy for people to end up paying anyways, and that makes the product all but snake-oil.
Just like Obama's, right?
I've worked at companies where adopting an OSS library was an engineering decision, no purchasing and no management approval required.
Nope, not at all. Read the damn thing. They tested it, the thing was correct, it overloded cpu, it wasn’t configuration mistake.
I'm a realist. This list proofes that people are not as stupid as alarmists make them. At the end of the line, there are always people asking the relevant questions, because it's their f*ing job to do that.
Hashed and salted is insufficient, as GPUs are extremely fast at crunching through hashes. Unless they use a memory-intensive (for GPU/FPGA résistance) algorithm like argon2 or scrypt, I would assume those credentials compromised.
‘ we are deliberately limiting the detail we share on our remediation steps at this time to protect their effectiveness ’

I'm afraid that computing resources are not and have never been the limiting factor for innovative work in machine learning in general and in deep learning in particular. I have quoted the following interview with Geoff Hinton a number of times on HN - apologies if this is becoming repetitious:

GH: One big challenge the community faces is that if you want to get a paper published in machine learning now it's got to have a table in it, with all these different data sets across the top, and all these different methods along the side, and your method has to look like the best one. If it doesn’t look like that, it’s hard to get published. I don't think that's encouraging people to think about radically new ideas.

Now if you send in a paper that has a radically new idea, there's no chance in hell it will get accepted, because it's going to get some junior reviewer who doesn't understand it. Or it’s going to get a senior reviewer who's trying to review too many papers and doesn't understand it first time round and assumes it must be nonsense. Anything that makes the brain hurt is not going to get accepted. And I think that's really bad.

What we should be going for, particularly in the basic science conferences, is radically new ideas. Because we know a radically new idea in the long run is going to be much more influential than a tiny improvement. That's I think the main downside of the fact that we've got this inversion now, where you've got a few senior guys and a gazillion young guys.

In other words, yes, unfortunately, everything is the SOTA rat race. At least anything that is meant for publication, which is the majority of research output.
I read that viruses, as a whole, are trending to be less severe because highly lethal viruses kill the host faster than it can spread. They could be researching ideas like this.

Bcrypt wasn’t designed for GPUs, FPGAs and ASICs, unlike argon2 or scrypt that are designed to consume lots of RAM so they can’t be parallelized. The common knowledge “just use bcrypt” is dangerously outdated.
> Twitter asks us to trust them with our data

Do they? As far as I can tell, Twitter is for loudly shouting all your ill-conceived thoughts in public.

Don't post anything on twitter you wouldn't stand on a street corner screaming.
What "real treasure"? It's hard to beat the opportunity to do large-scale stock market manipulation, play some ninja geopolitics, or even download private messages of rich and influential VIPs. And that's the opportunity the attackers didn't take.
Just to underline the fact that Mexico is a narcostate, when the US announced that they would declare Los Zetas as a terrorist organization, Mexico's president intervened to block that classification.
To me the really irresponsible bit is that they kept the service up knowing full well there was a live attack in progress and they had not yet found a way to stop it. The Big Red Button has a place and the time to use it was last week. Given the prominence of the accounts that were compromised there isn't a shadow of doubt that shutting it down was the only responsible course of action. The world will continue to spin without Twitter for an hour or two, that this attack did as little damage as it did is because of the immaturity of the attackers, not because of Twitter being well defended. Pure luck.
Only if the sound card was detected in Linux. Sigh.
Twitter is just an overgrown internet forum
some form of CBT or mindfulness-related therapy might help too. With various anxiety issues, afaik there's quite a bit of evidence that these approaches can be very effective.

don't know about hypnotherapy though, other than that in my view EMDR is really not that different (and unlike hypnotherapy it is covered by insurance over here and I suspect most of Europe at least).

Water 'linked to wetness'
Sorry, but you are wrong.

This would no more violate the ADA than random drug testing (legal) or requiring temperature checks, which some employers are already doing to protect against COVID-19.

Also, the ADA is not a constitutional amendment, so even if there is a potential conflict with ADA, Congress could easily address that in a new bill without needing to pass a new constitutional amendment.

Everyone has outages, CloudFlare is a decent company making a good product.

BUT

What's interesting here is that so many non-CloudFlare services went down (including even AWS - partially) caused by DNS outage - because every sysadmin and his mom are using 1.1.1.1 as their DNS.
Yeah, right. Survivor bias in action. Romania didn't choose to do a lot of the things it did. It didn't choose to be a Communist state for 45 years, for example. History matters.

And if you think Romanians are somehow content:

They were in the news everywhere, from Deutsch Welle to the New York Times.

I find your comment dismissive of those down the ladder, maybe I'm misinterpreting it. It also seems unaware of history or recent news.

If I were to make a great bio weapon that would do the maximum damage, I will have these attributes:
1. Spread it easily;
2. Don't kill the ones who spread it most easily (the young);
3. Be lethal enough to overwhelm the system.
And so I have the Covid-19.
Of course it is all post-fact analysis. but it also answers your question of why would an experiment make a less sever virus in the first place - to address the biggest problem of an infectious agent as a bioweapon, i.e. a virulent virus ends up killing too many too fast to be highly infective and 'effective'.
well, otherwise it would get expensive pretty fast with rainforest soil. I mean, you learn this in highschool around here (rainforest soil=most often bad for agriculture, so one must take means to mitigate that → one must move the crop...), so what do people expect?

That sounds more as if it would be a window system specific issue? As far as I know OpenGL didn't have that kind of API either and you had to use X11 and the glX bindings for that kind of information.
>There is convincing evidence it developed via evolutionary origins.

Er, yes. Not sure what you're saying here (the title is "..Covid-19 is not a naturally-evolved virus...')?
Sure, from a dev perspective the API may be bad. But I'm saying that that isn't the right perspective to use when judging it.

"Nice" APIs or higher level APIs are desirable of course, but they tend to be much bigger in size and scope, much more opinionated and brittle than a smaller low level API. A portable API which browser makers can accurately implement and support for the long term, is a smarter goal even if it does expect devs to build a "nice" layer on top of it first.
Narcissists, Psychopaths, & Manipulators: “Virtuous Victim Signaling” Says Study

Introducing feature X (regardless of effect) allows you to study X.

You do it to learn more about X, not because you particularly want to engineer something more virulent or lethal.
Lots of immorality is individually incentivized and legal. This doesn’t make it moral. I’m just confused why you bring it up when you’re clearly making a material argument for political change—of course this is immoral! That should be the impetus for the change.
Here's an interesting thought experiment for meat-eaters:

Why not stop eating beef?

your response might be a knee-jerk "but I really like it!". Everyone knows the huge environmental costs we are responsible for when eating meat. But it's really interesting to pursue the tension in your own personal logic-brain vs lizard want-it-brain.

I've stopped eating most refined sugar and massively cut down on meat in the past few years. But the mental battles I had with myself in the process were surprising.

I beg to differ!

They wrote a two-page essay and buried in the middle is the one-sentence root cause of "someone changed something and made a mistake". No explanation or details given.

This is exactly how to pretend you have incident reports without actually having them.

Luckily, the HN crowd is able to piece it together and explain in detail.
> The magic of Disney is the boatloads of people who continue to _want_ to work for Disney despite all this.

This sounds similar to game development in a way. You get individuals who are really passionate about the brand/products and are willing to work in unfair conditions because of it.
I find the feedback loop between TV depictions of drug dealers and the behavior of actual drug dealers endlessly fascinating.
So much of what you write is true, yet ignores a vital value that the centralised websites do provide: discoverability. Not only does YouTube provide (sub-mediocre) search over all the [mb]illions of videos it hosts, it also is a hub: if I'm looking for a particular video/clip ("Leyla's Beans Advert from Futurama") the hub is the first place I'm going to search. These are really hard problems in usability that we need to solve to make a p2p/fediweb viable and attractive to use.
That possibly desensibilize the user for violence, and give them a reason to need an unbreaking stream of income? That's another reason the black and white them versus us image is misleading. Many of the criminals are victims, and vice versa, moral hard liners tend to criminalize use for the same reason. This also means that it would be a runaway process, and that the elites have to practice abstinence or at least self control.

That's what I'm really unsure about, the physical and psychological addiction potential and an extreme stance which would take it as justification, that the victims are weak of will. The eugenics argument would even encourage this as a way to selection for fitness. IMHO, the physical addiction is countered by the adverse effects of the come-down. I hold some arguments against it, but consider the psychological component much more important. 30% of first time heroin users became addicted in the last German federal report on domestic drug use. I'd say only 30%, in contrast to the myth of the immediate addiction--which is real in a sense, for if addiction-affinity is considered, it's effectively correct. Arguably, understanding the history, these people must be extremely racist, fascist, socialist, liberal, you name it, basicly selfish egoists in any sense you might find offensive.

Simple adversary population dynamics settle at an optimum in the infinite limit (I've watched a video by numberphile or so on the Logistic Function, haha). If the government is a regulator, it should seek to estimate the optimum. The pretense that the optimum is the extinction of drug use and users is ...

I have no idea what I'm talking about, lol
Interesting read but I think this 'Quote Investigator' went off at a tangent with "pour encourager les autres" (a famous quote in its own right, but not quite the same sentiment). It seems more like the 1961 navy cartoonist who coined "all liberty is canceled until morale improves" deserves credit for the creative act, unless some earlier source is found.
Years ago I heard someone saying that SVG should have replaced what CSS does nowdays, i.e use it for anything graphical. Not sure how well it would have worked though. But it is vector graphics so maybe very well?

I tend to agree with you but I do think it depends on a lot of factors like team size, churn rate of that team, how long the project will exist, etc.

On a very small development team I've seen a framework be a big help to productivity as there were a lot of little wheels we didn't have to recreate and didn't have to search for a library every time we needed another small feature like that. Certainly there were bumps along the road to learn the nuances of the framework (this is compounded by changing versions of the framework) however those almost always ended up being minor headaches in the scope of a larger feature and maybe extended timelines by a day or two.

I do not want to convey here that my experience is true for every team or every framework, rather that I have had one specific set of experiences with one specific framework that has pulled me from condemning frameworks as a whole while still not being a huge fan.
My rule of thumb for pulling in an external dependency is whether or not I’d be willing to maintain a private copy myself. For most libraries, that’s a yes— they have only a few entry points that my program uses, and it’s (relatively) easy to step through the execution path from there until finding the problem.

Frameworks, on the other hand, are more troublesome. They tend to have one entry point at the top that deals with everything any user might want to do, so locating a fault involves digging through lots of code unrelated to my particular usecase.

I think many executives simply have good and secure contracts in first place. I'm not surprised if they have clauses to cover bankruptcy scenarios.

In some cases it's also wilt of a few executives, who try to onboard other executives so they don't stand out as the greedy guy.
But operations like that should require a second randomly chosen individual to verify.

The reality is the public loses credentials and keys all the time and at most companies security takes a back seat to convenience and customer service.
Yes, but it’s only more efficient than testing everybody if you are unlikely to get a positive result. So, in places where covid is not widely spreading.

Bill Gates "wanted his own" because this would limit software portability, making his near-monopoly in OSes even stronger. Good move for his bottom line, but a dick move for humanity.
If somehow drug was legalized in the Mexico then I suppose the army would have to product "legal" producers from cartels waging war on them to defend their turf ?

Are cartels lobbying to prevent drug legalization ? I suppose they make more money on illegal drugs than they would if they converted to legalized drugs (if it'd ever come to be)

This is a crowded space, but you seem to have integrated many related features into your offering. With that in mind is a bit tricky to see exactly how you compare to the competition. I know some are for and some against competitor comparison tables... I think you'd come out favourable however.

What's with HN folk these days thinking peer-reviewed research is some infallible process that results in groundbreaking, objective research?

You should absolutely be skeptical of ALL research. A responsibility of other researchers is to evaluate the methods used and claims made in papers. The peer review journal is not a perfect process and nor are research processes more generally.

Most research cannot be reproduced ... So be skeptical of any and all claims made! (i.e. the reproducibility crisis)

The research they linked does not provide evidence for hypnotherapy as an effective solution, and itself states it as needing more research. See the top comment above.
Good points! If you're making one small app after the other, frameworks save some time and effort.

I cut down massively on beef during the worst of the California drought, when I found out what the resource consumption looked like. To the "if it's yellow let it mellow" crowd: just the beef in a typical burger has the water usage footprint of something like 40? 50? high-flow toilet flushes.

Chicken is about 1/3rd the water footprint, and IMO it's a lot easier to get good texture when cooking it.
Complete tangent to your interesting post, but in companies that build a good safety culture, fire safety is within everyone's purview and something anyone can ask about. In the organisation I work at, the marketing manager could totally raise safety issues.

It's surprising until you start to think about it, at a certain size, many companies are very much at existential risk from a building fire.
