I know of two meanings for the word gimp:

1. offensive slang for a disabled person.
2. a person who dresses up in leather for sexual purposes.

Not a great name for a piece of software. Apparently there's a third older meaning, some kind of braided string. I'd never heard of that one before I looked it up just now though.

Not really. AWS would like to run a datacenter business in China the way they do everywhere else in the world, but that happens to be illegal in China. Only Chinese companies are permitted to run datacenters. This seems like an exact parallel of the US deciding that social media companies that want to operate in the US have to be US companies.
But it isn’t about you not knowing something, it’s about the Chinese government knowing things through TikTok.

Unless we've specifically defined intelligence in a way that reflects ourselves.

The useful things that we want to get out of an AI system, i.e generalized learning of abstract concepts, are most clearly demonstrated by the human brain.

Since we now seem to prefer down votes over discussion, I'll just leave this with my own speculation that the reason for this strange avoidance of the brain is that it's a dead end for both academia and industry.

It's much easier and more profitable to expand on already existing machine learning technologies than to try and find some revolutionary breakthrough in neuroscience.
I don't think there's much that can be done, except trying to identify any circuitry shared among branches and moving it out. Like if we have "if (cond) { hash(x) } else { hash(y) }", we can move the hash circuit outside of the conditional.

There are some circuit compilers that try to do optimizations like that automatically, like xJsnark, though it's not meant for FHE.
Talent may be a multiplier but it is not a substitute for practice and learning and dedicated time. Mozart had an amazing talent which combined with intensive training from a young age and dedicated work made him create his masterpieces. If he had the same amount to talent but had to work full time as a cobbler to make ends meet, he would never have been able to produce the same oeuvre.
I see this line of reasoning often, and frankly, I don’t understand it at all.

TikTok poses exactly the same risk as any other app on the App/Play stores. They go through exactly the same static code review and signing process - conducted by two American companies. Any security risk can be addressed at that point in the pipeline.

Assuming the concern is about “data security” (vs OS level security), I see literally zero difference between a state actor having access to my data, and a third party advertiser. If it’s insecure, it’s insecure - it doesn’t matter who the potential attacker is.

This is a horrible, horrible decision that has nothing to do with security, and everything to do with a horrible president desperately clawing for anything he can to get re-elected.
I promise this is a serious suggestion and not snark, but I respect projects that resist adding poor implementations of other applications' core functionality. Type rendering is hard! Let GIMP be an excellent RGB-pixel-pushing program, and maybe give a real page layout application a shot instead. The output will be worlds prettier than anything you'd be able to do in GIMP.

References can't be null. Regardless, that's a valid check for a null pointer and I don't think what you wrote is at all possible (unless maybe in some multithreaded scenario?).
Other than for setting timers and turning the lights on and off, all of this "voice assisted" stuff doesn't really work. So providers should either make it work or abandon it if they can't (and yes, they can't), leaving only the scenarios that do work operational. Kudos to Microsoft - they're admitting what was obvious to everyone for quite a while.

This is especially egregious with Siri, which Apple repeatedly tries to gaslight everyone about. Apple does demos every year, yet Siri continues to suck just as it always did. But Apple keeps pretending that it doesn't suck. This goes completely against the ethos of Apple not releasing stuff until it's "insanely great".
Will give it a shot thanks.

Ultra Trim Keto Is 100% Work?
Ultra Trim Keto Is 100% Work? More Information… The issue of additional fat isn't new yet todays age is very genuine about this issue. The genuine explanation of having the additional fat in the body is a direct result of the automated way of life. Less physical movement has just taken to the extraordinary safe place where we increase a great deal of fat in the body. Abundance of shoddy nourishment and no activity are a portion of the significant reason that makes a great deal of additional fat in the body.

Everyone is searching for a thin and sound body tone yet they would prefer not to buckle down for it. The genuine explanation is low degree of tolerance and a greater amount of automated way of life. A few people made a decent attempt to lessen the additional fat from the body tone yet nothing works for them in light of the less information about the weight reduction process and no consistency in the health improvement plan.

Snap auto updates brought down a 4 node Raspberry Pi 4 lxd cluster I was running in my home lab. One of the nodes went down and before there was a chance to address it snap decided to auto update lxd on the remaining nodes. Since the down node wasn't updated this caused the entire cluster to fail because not all the cluster members were on the same lxd version. I was able to force remove the down node from the cluster to bring things back up.

As soon as possible I moved away from lxd which is a shame. It met my needs better and was easier to manage than k3s which replaced it. Unfortunately as long as it is only available as a snap it is a non-starter for my lab. I don't see how it could possibly be considered for a real deployment.

Simplified Chinese characters are just that... simplified versions of the traditional characters. In fact, many don't change at all from the traditional version to the simplified version.

It's a change, and one that history purists tend to not like, but definitely not a culture-breaking change or something that breaks links to the past. There are still a lot of ancient pictograms left in the simplified characters, a lot of connections to concepts, ideas and views from past millennia.

Ultra Trim Keto – 50% Off Today, Benefits and More
Presently what are the purposes behind the working of this enhancement. Truth be told, inside a brief period, it has gotten one of the famous recipes on the web. The fundamental explanation is that Ultra Trim Keto has all the regular fixings to accomplish it. In this recipe, there is brimming with regular ketones. The ketones lead into a ketosis zone that is a normally consuming fat module as it stops there. Thus, online clients rave about this enhancement.

Any program can be compiled to a single `while` loop with a `switch`. I can think of two ways to "drive" this `while` loop:

- If the program is meant to run forever, or as long as possible, then the system performing the computations can drive the loop. This might be useful for anytime algorithms (e.g. an AI/optimisation problem): e.g. "keep iterating this computation (unless my billing account runs out of credit), I might ask for the current state at some point in the future".

- Programs which eventually halt could be checked by the key holder: the result gets decrypted, and if it isn't in the 'halt' state then it's sent back for another 'step'. In practice this could be made more efficient by e.g. making the computation idempotent, so it can be iterated many times without having to ask for confirmation every time; by having the encrypted computation perform many iterations, so each 'step' does more work; etc. If the job is kept on the encrypted system, with the key holder sending it step/stop instructions, that leaks details of the computation (i.e. an upper-bound on how many steps it takes). If we're willing to round-trip the data instead, then the key-holder can re-encrypt it each time (and jitter its timings), so the server couldn't tell the difference between stepping the same job and computing multiple jobs. This could be further obfuscated by throwing our jobs into a pool of others, e.g. on a shared proxy.

This model of having some external entity "driving" a computation's loop appears in a few other places too:

- Smart contracts, like Ethereum, give programs "fuel" that decreases with each step, and calling another program requires us to give it some of our fuel.

- Optimisation algorithms can also use "fuel" to avoid infinite loops. Some compilers use this to avoid transformations getting stuck in a cycle (rewriting the code between one form and another).

- Total (functional) programming languages, like Agda and Coq, don't allow general recursion; yet they do allow co-recursion. This lets us wrap each recursive call (i.e. step) in a constructor, then we can "drive" the program by having an external program unwrap these constructors (AKA a main loop).

- Coq's Mtac language lets us use general recursion in our proofs, but the results get wrapped up (just like the co-recursive example above). The compiler will run these proofs to completion: if they don't halt then neither does the compiler.

- CSS can be "driven" by user clicks, which together become Turing complete: https://notlaura.com/is-css-turing-complete
The article claims that oblivious query, set intersection, and machine learning on private data are not possible without FHE. However, aren't they all possible either with secure MPC or hardware based enclaves e.g. AMD SEV?

Well, showing that it's stacked by a combination of the party in power in the Senate and the one in power in the Executive; the earlier description would have been more clear with reference to which power centers were being referred to.

I kind of agree. I have the same issue, although I'm not prone to motion sickness in life. My senses get ready for g-forces which are not there so my whole nerve system goes brrrrrrr. Then I need to put in mental effort to stop expecting motion and just concentrate on the visuals which ruins the experience. An hour in Digital Combat Simulator with VR is my maximum, and I usually need a recovery period for my internal gyroscopes to get in line.

The US government allows China to export cheap, relatively low-tech goods to the US. However, it's clear now that the US government will ban any Chinese high-tech company that gains significant market share in the US. In some cases, such as ZTE and Huawei, it will go much further and attempt to put them out of business altogether, using sanctions and threats (e.g., threatening to end intelligence sharing with the UK unless it stops getting Huawei equipment).
60 interviews in 30 days is not a process in which you’re carefully learning and calibrating to tune yourself, extracting lessons from each one.

60 interviews in 30 days is throwing an entire pot of spaghetti against a wall and not even waiting to figure out if you cooked it right before dumping another pack on the stove and firing back up the burner.

This not a person carefully working towards a thing or getting practice to calibrate. This is a person who has read too many blog posts like this and regrettably and agonizingly thinks the process of finding a job involves interviews in bulk and funnels and a spreadsheet at the end of which pops out some offers that are then mostly weighed based on numbers and one gets accepted.

This process is what way too many people who blog about their job searches do and it is completely unhinged.

And it is also, not what most of the good engineers I know actually do.

a) If I'm being brutally honest, it's attention. Human beings enjoy attention even if it's totally dumb luck. I could say for this HN crowd that the traffic translates to revenue or some kind of practical benefit but honestly, it just felt good to get attention for something I created. That triggered a serotonin response in my brain that made me want to come back. I would assume it's similar to a HN post you submit making it to the front page?

b) They're real in that I get tens of thousands of comments and people actually reply. Most of the comments are reactions and jokes but I enjoy the thought that someone took the time to comment just like how I'm enjoying having a discussion here on HN. Whether or not it's meaningful is entirely subjective but probably goes back to my answer in a) - I appreciate the attention.
Just addressing the title a bit - Saudi Aramco isn't as valuable as is claimed. Back when the crown prince wanted to float it he wanted to get it on a real stock exchange and give up a real portion of it. However, this failed because they couldn't get the valuation they wanted and wouldn't give the transparency needed. As a result, it floated on the Saudi's own stock exchange, floated only 1.5%, and according to some reports signficant pressure was put on prominent people to buy shares. It was all very much a matter of marking your own homework. Aramco would absolutely not be trading at that level on the Nasdaq.

> Also what does it mean to "maintain" civilization when at least 45 million people died under Mao due to famine, overwork and state violence? Is putting Uighurs in concentration camps "maintaining" civilization?

Yes?

I mean, the word "civilization" just makes reference to a complex society with certain societal and governmental structures. A civilization can be peaceful but it can also be brutal. Many (if not all) historical civilizations started wars, took slaves, forced people to adopt certain religions or customs, or made outright genocides, and that doesn't make them less of a civilization.

> Complaining that bubblegum is not nutritional as a good meal at a nice restaurant is not pseudo-intellectual arrogance.

Expecting bubble-gum at a good meal restaurant is a better analogy of what that poster said and implied (`As far as the videos are concerned, they're very low quality compared to what the medium is capable of.` if videos is the food and restaurant is the medium then it follows you don't go to a MacDonald and expect a $400 meal). No one is expecting TV shows or HBO content on tiktok and no one is expecting nutritional content from bubble-gum.

> Your attempts to resort to name-calling and ad-hominem attacks also don't help your case or even your ability to support your accusation.

Hey, I am not the one comparing apple to oranges and reducing tiktok content to MacDonald food in order to make the point that HBO is better and thus tiktok is garbage.

He doesn't like MacDonald ? Good for him. But this sounds just like the "stop liking things I don't like" meme.

> It is what it is, and just pointing out that stuff made with cheap passive fast mass consumption in mind is not arrogance or pseudo-intellectual.

But reducing tiktok to that is. (quote `Tiktok is gifs with sound filmed on a cell phone` which is technically wrong and intellectually dishonest since it conveniently ignores what tiktok content is).

But I see what you did here. You could have written it like “Everyone can now unlock the power of its smartphones to easily produce and share some kind of content to audiences that appreciate it, thus realizing one of the web2.0 era objectives of user generated content".

But no, you used term like "stuff" and "cheap" (go tell that to some teens and people that put hours into their 10 seconds video that the whole thing is cheap).

I get it, tiktok is beneath you and you don't like it. Assume it. But don't go around trying to justify it by comparing it to something it's not and that you happen to like better and expect no backlash if that's all the critic you can make.

> Your attempts to resort to name-calling and ad-hominem attacks also don't help your case or even your ability to support your accusation.

Except I didn't. Name-calling would have been "you are an arrogant pseudo intellectual". I clearly stated his claims were pseudo-intellectual arrogance, which is about a statement not the person.
What I learned from the fact of carrying out 60 interviews in 30 days is that there are awful lot of organizations that are unable estimating technical competence and have no clue how to do that but introducing time wasting unreliable excuse activities masking gut feeling decisions. Those rushed but still overly simplistic tests only measure how good someone is in those tests, not how good someone will be in a position.

You could be attacked by a spam network, making you lose over 50% traffic in 3 months.

There's lots of spam sites like twilightontheolympicpeninsula, codegrepper, everythingtutorial, bestappsfinder etc (everything dot com). The network that's attacking me has over 10.000 sites (you can discover their whole network using a backlink checker like ahrefs)

What can you do about these type of attacks? Nothing. The only way to mitigate this is the disavow tool, but it may take 4 weeks or longer for those domains to disappear. In the meantime, more and more of those spam sites are getting linked.

It is not a rare occasion either, I found the entire niche (and others) are getting these types of attacks. Changing the Google rankings of the entire niche.

So many of those spam domains are being added that no amount of content writing makes your rankings go up.

Reporting to hosting, police etc is useless. Why Google allows spam networks to decide the Google ranking is beyond me.

So what you should know about SEO is that it's unreliable. Spam networks decide the Google ranking now.
