I worked on the Eaton AIL CVLF radio receiver, which was the one of the first digital radio receivers done in the late 1980s. Because the frequencies used to communicate with subs were around 19 kHz, the CPUs of the time were just fast enough to do the signal processing. We used the Fairchild 9445 which was essentially a Data General "Nova 4" on a chip.

This receiver was used to receive launch commands. It received teletype data that was printed on a Model 29 Teletype. The encryption keys and the key generator used on this project were compromised by the Walkers, a family of spies (See https://news.usni.org/2014/09/02/john-walker-spy-ring-u-s-na... )

The Submarines dragged a wire antenna that was used to receive the VLF radio signals, that were transmitted from several megawatt sites within the US and beyond.

We're basically saying we don't trust certificates, job experience, education, so here's a week of interviews on things that have little to do with your work and we'll need another two weeks to decide.

> it should be vulnerable to microsoft’s EEE

It Microsoft Teams is any indicator, I can tell you right now that Microsoft is absolutely unable to disrupt and takeover any well-built product. Teams is the worst Slack ripoff I've ever used. Whatever advantage I gain from being able to chat in real-time is lost by constantly fighting with the tool, the notification noise and the fear of missing something in all that noise and terrible UI, not to mention the slowness when switching screens.

If their attempt at EEE'ing the Terminal is similar then Bloomberg has absolutely nothing to worry about.
I’m happy someone mentioned the community in Julia!

We’re always looking for interested people to join and try out some of the systems. For easy access to some of the active PP frameworks:

Turing.jl https://turing.ml/dev/

Gen.jl https://www.gen.dev/

Soss.jl https://github.com/cscherrer/Soss.jl

Jaynes.jl https://github.com/femtomc/Jaynes.jl

Why so many? The design space is just beginning to be well-explored! And the community has welcomed experimentation!

Gen.jl and Jaynes.jl are research projects aiming to push the boundary of what you can express inside a PP framework - inference here is sample-based, with incremental computation providing most of the optimization. Gen.jl is much more mature than the latter (which I develop) and has tons of great and thought-provoking documentation. Turing.jl is also very mature, and they have a great number of resources showing how to express a number of classic models in their language, as well as how to compose sampling-based inference algorithms. The Turing folks also implemented the de-facto version of HMC in Julia https://github.com/TuringLang/AdvancedHMC.jl. Soss.jl is also very cool - and works by AST re-writing - with cool functionality integration from SymPy in Python. I’m not sure the state of the docs for Soss.jl - but the researchers for each of these systems are always willing to discuss the systems on the Julia Slack or Zulip!

I wouldn't call it the "live" you would expect (although depends on what you were expecting -- I wasn't honestly expecting a live view of "anywhere on Earth", but at least some level of detail). As soon as you zoom in to any level of <100km detail it reverts to years-old imagery. I guess it's understandable -- since when you get to that level, clearly they are picking/choosing the imagery that's cloud-free, etc.

It's more like a "live" view if you were to look at the entire Earth at once from the Apollo capsule...
Nonbinary people are trans. Failure to assimilate != segregation.

I get the sense that you're a generation or so older than me and have consequently had to put up with a lot more medical gatekeeping than I did. If I'm right, I salute you. But I see nothing good in letting myself being defined by my dysphoria or in turning myself into what feels to me like a cardboard cutout of a woman just so I can feel like not a guy. Down that way all I see is more of what I had before I realized I was trans. No thank you.

Be well.
Oh, than his views on innovation are even more wrong than I thought. Most progress, most innovation is the result of incremental progress. Sometimes you can see a leap forward, which usually comes that someone puts several incremental innovations together and combines them in the right way.

Yeah, ITER is not really a fast project. Weirdly enough there is also Wendelstein 7-X in Germany, which is also mostly funded by the German government is way ahead of other fusion project. No idea if this research will lead to a power source or not, but I'm pretty if it does, those power plants will be subsidised by the government.
I don't have any proof but I believe it's because of all the stories in the press about scary "alt-right/conspiracy rabbit-holes" and how something _must_ be done.

So that is to say, where does HN have a discrepancy between what it "says on the box", and what's "in the box"?

Here in Australia, our gov is extremely incompetent at delivering successful IT projects. They also have a terrible track record with securing data, scaling services (eg national-level IT outages), don't admit to mistakes, etc. :(

> It's more of a reflection of whether you were hungry.

No. To go with your example, if you know the people preparing the meal are incompetent, don't follow anything like reasonable hygiene standards, have previously caused significant outbreaks of disease themselves, and each time they're caught they promise to do better (but actually don't do so)... would you eat something they've prepared for you? Especially prepared at short notice where corner-cutting is expected? ;)

Whether he put it together or not, an argument can be made (I make it as well) that it's worth reading it. Any one can have valid arguments, even (or especially) if you don't agree with the conclusions. The only question you can ask is if they're being logically consistent. If they are then they deserve to be listened to, if you truly want to understand how to join them or fight them.

I despise this guy but will listen to everything he has to say. He correctly predicted and bet like ford bet on Nazis that Trump will win, and is reaping the benefits. Given that we have a nincompoop at the top, I'm scrounging to get whatever meaningful literature I can find from the other side to see how they convince themselves of their deeds. This guy is probably up there as the best bets you have on this regard.
Why is it a precedent? Nobody was under the illusion that it isn't technically possible for them to shut down some customer they don't like.

Nor was/is there any debate about the legality of doing so,

So the only reason for continuing to work for/with violent anti-semites was that they wanted to. Until, at some point, they changed their mind.

HN has a strange infatuation with this idea of avoiding responsibility by pretending to be powerless. But it's neither morally sound nor logically or legally coherent to pretend to be bound by some principles that are entirely of one's own making.
I honestly think this will be a net loss financially for SAP and Telekom. To get it done so quickly in parallel to the contact tracing API being just developed will have required a team of their best developers. The lost opportunity cost for this alone will be huge. Then it is not just development, but also QA, community management (git hub issues are in the hundreds), legal, project management, etc. I think the primary reason SAP and Telekom even offered to participated at all was political pressure.

The loss in public reputation if they had failed was not worth even participating.

Also, having worked in a corporate setting would have told you that you can't launch anything for less than 1m EUR/USD, can't launch two things for less than 5m and 3 for less than 20m.

20m really is a laughable sum.
I can see your point for why China is not unlike the US in this regard. But where the two countries differ are the concentration camps, the huge restrictions on press and individual freedom, the imprisonment of political opponents and the massive censorship. Yes, the US does some bad things and may be moving in the wrong direction but you can't tell me that the degrees to which the two countries are bad are even remotely comparable.

Travel agencies still like to use the frontend even though they're even less user friendly than VIM. This isn't the right time for it but once upon a time you could research what travel agencies use what GDS by the job requirements these agencies put out - usually you need like 5 years experience with Sabre/Apollo/whatever for any job here.

Once your travel details are in the GDS then the airline clerks, car rental sales person, hotel clerks, and your travel agent can check out or update your travel info for you just based on the PNR number on your airline ticket for convenience if you're just not into that weird smartphone thing. You can change a bunch of things during the trip like what car you drive and hotel amenities during your stay so after the trip ends we download your trip from Sabre and build reports for your boss or whatever.

Ah, phew, OK. I was really confused by that. No worries, I'm still grateful for your comments :)

Yes, ASP is not Horn so it has rules with multiple literals in the head. "Choice rules", writen as {s,t}:- p. Also, like you say, I believe it doesn't suffer from Prolog's non-termination, again because unlike Prolog it's not Turing-complete. But in any case ASP is based on stable model semantics, not fixpoint semantics.

However I'm really very far from being anything like an expert in ASP! I really should learn a bit of it because it's actually necessary in my research.
This is nice work and furthermore I would also like to commend the author for the elegant way of integrating marketing of their own book that they are writing into it.

I dont see the point of this argument.

If a person has lost faith in US democracy, the person is free to leave. The US does not stop its citizens from leaving like China does with HK.

The other option is to stay and work towards a more representative democracy. Doomer questions like "can we" are a waste of everyone's time.

Whether or not skill exists in the context of investing and trading is a hotly debated topic in economics and finance. Some say it does not exist after adjusting for various factors.

I'm not a DNS expert, so... It's not really that simple is it? If you have multiple nameservers I thought they get equal weight, don't they?

So if you have Cloudflare + (ex:) NS1, and you're using Cloudflare for caching, you need your NS1 records to return Cloudflare proxied IPs normally, but origin IPs under failure conditions. That's a lot of infrastructure.

It also fails completely if you're relying on Cloudflare for DDoS protection and IP obfuscation because a failure means your origin IPs get exposed. That's assuming Cloudflare DNS being down means Cloudflare proxying is down too. It might not be the case, but I think you'd have to plan for it.

Then there's also Cloudflare's detection of nameservers. I haven't tried it with more than Cloudflare's nameservers set for a domain, but if your domain doesn't actively use their nameserver they'll drop your site from their system. So, at the very least, you can't use Cloudflare as a secondary DNS provider (at least the last time I checked).
Well... the price declined during the war, but that wasn't because of the war. The effect of the war itself was to reduce the production of oil, specifically production from Iran and Iraq. But that didn't drive the price up, because other producers stepped in, and also because consumption reacted to a price of $100+ (in 1980 dollars).
The question is who are you not listening to because you are paying attention to this overrated blowhard?

Citation needed.

While I suspect you are right, I've never seen an example of one and we don't have any proof that this is how they are used in practice. The same could have been said about FISA warrants, but both civil libertarians and Trump allies have been critical in how FISA warrants have been used in practice despite the way they were described as few and targeted by those "watchers" who were "watching themselves".
Now we need an equivalent of a "deepfake recognizer" for these sort of generated texts, to distinguish texts with some sort of coherent meaning from texts without.

As a bonus, such a model could be used in a word-processor to redline places where a human writer has written a lot without saying much.

Every year for a long time there has been a senator named Paul who has complained about this stuff nonstop. Nobody has listened because it is not a partisan issue. If this were a partisan issue we'd have billions of dollars behind it on both sides and the pendulum would eventually swing one way or the other.
I'd love to see your reply to the blind person commenting on your product here.
I think it's quite probable that even if some entity or group finds linear sequences of symbols unnatural, if they're smart enough to pick it up they're also smart enough to piece together the meaning the hard way, the same way we would if presented with something very foreign. Any technological entity has encountered and mastered lots of foreign systems, including us. Biochemistry, quantum mechanics, heck, even classical mechanics don't come to humans naturally, but we're getting by pretty well anyway.

As for recognizing life, eh, I don't think it's an accident that we're carbon-based blobs of relatively flexible, mobile matter. If there was a more likely template, that's probably what we would be based on instead.
“Cloudflare apparently fat-fingered a routing update and sent all of their global traffic to a single POP, vaporizing it almost instantly.”

> Why TF are we stuck with TWO?

We have hundreds of parties.

We have have had at most two viable parties nationally, and in each state—though not always the same two—since the founding (with brief moments of only 1 nationally, and a lot more of only one in particular states) because of our FPTP election system for Congress and most state executive and legislative offices, and our even-more-hostile-to-minor-parties Presidential election system.
Nope. Pay the money and get your terminal.
Sure, that's fair. But what / who then are they trying to sell the idea of with the phrase "live"?

I think we all know what we're interested in when we think of "live"... things at the <<1km level.
