I can’t speak to patent encumbrance on anything as recent as 802.11ac, but the Australian CSIRO patents began expiring in 2013 and have probably all aged out by now.
I'm not an anthropologist but the ideology mismatch was more than just race. Colonialism is, to me, a gumbo of nationalism, classism, religion, seasoned with a generous helping of some other ideologies, like our flavor of mastery over nature.

I will challenge your conclusion though, at least in a qualified manner. We do preserve things that we understand better before the option to exploit them arises. But. We do tend to understand things by taking them apart like children. And like children, we often lack the sophistication to put them back together again for a long time. But the clocks, radios and wind-up cars we disassembled as children were inanimate objects. Vivisecting living things/systems has a little bit different moral gravity.

But we are where we are. The best we can do is say "we fucked up, how do we fix it?" and start trying to listen, even if much of that listening now has to be through historical anthropologists.
This particular malware doesn't seem to grok when you're using certs or keys, so while it'll never be successful it keeps trying (effectively a resource DOS).

Obscure port does nothing.. it eventually finds it and then you'll see tons of servers try that port (unless you constantly move it).

I'm not sure how you imagine Pluggable Authentication Modules would help? Fail2Ban or some sort of active IPS helps, but because the IPs are very varied (and presumably ever increasing) and infrequently re-attempt it doesn't help much.

Note anyone running exposed SSH without keys or certs, should run the detection script[0] (which is just shell and you should read first before installing) provided by Guardicore

I learned gwbasic as my first programming language in 90s. After that I switched to C. So, I never made the transition to qbasic. The main reasons for this choice are love and familiarity. Now, that I look back at the language, I would clearly make a lots of changes to it. May be, the next language I implement will be much more modern!
Is this a joke? Is there an actual typeface somewhere here underneath all the pomo theory? Are the pictures of one font or many?
This argument is a really good one, but only in a small (< 10%, < 1%?) of cases. Far more often the "grunt work" is generating at least as much value as the modeling, and Michael Jordan doesn't want anything to do with your office pick up game.

Especially in the case where you can't deploy meaningfully because your "data scientists" are working in a silo with poor communication.
Interesting to see this 10% number for a browser. I worked on AAA games and that is the number we saw as well.
> Perhaps it's time for some major app makers to have a day or two where they pull their apps.

Epic's actions with Fortnite were effectively this. They were aware Apple would pull the app, but that them doing so would give them clear standing to sue Apple for the contract terms.

For even a lot of "major" app makers though, pulling their apps off iOS in protest would put them out of business. (Even where Android excels in market share, Apple excels in revenue share by a wide margin.) By being a large multiplatform entity with more reliance on consoles and desktops, Epic is one of the few companies that can afford the hit to pick this fight.

> BLAKE3 needs at least 100 ns to hash short inputs, and achieves a peak throughput of 1.3 GB/s.

I haven't run benchmarks on the Intel 8175M myself, but I would expect single block execution time closer to 60 ns and peak throughput closer to 6 GB/s. I'd be curious to see the results of running `cargo +nightly bench` in the https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3 repo on that processor.

The fact that it took 7 years to reach this broad a recognition of the issue gives you an idea of how many actual speakers of the Scots language are reading the Scots language Wikipedia.

For my hobby servers, I listen on a non standard port. Not once in 20+ years has anything hit that port. Even when I've had domains / sites that ruffled feathers, no hits. It most certainly cuts out noise in logs and stops all the bots.

>What if you liked everything Apple does except the part about not allowing you to install 3rd party applications?

That's not what the situation is, though. I can love everything about my car except the part about it using gas. If they don't make that car in a non-ICE version, then I have no recourse. The same thing applies to this. They don't make a device that allows you to install any 3rd party apps. It's not an option so it's a pointless discussion.
Thanks for this. Personally, I would have wanted this information in the intro of the project. But then again, odds are I'm not your target audience and that your target audience would find it obivous. It's one data point at least. :)

Amazon rolls out a new AR shopping feature for viewing multiple items at once
For me the UX is down the drain. I notice I use my mobile less for browsing.. too unwieldy. Like a different browser was installed in that update. At many places it needs more clicks. Address bar completion works differently. You can avoid the new tab creation by clicking Back button after you open, but I hate to do this all the time. Had a huge list of tabs open before. Now the preview thumbnails do not load/refresh, text is bigger and truncated so tab list only half as useful.
Scientists Identify Vaccine Design Rules Using “DNA Origami”
That is premature abstraction 101 though. SRE folks will bring parochial philosophy and first principles constraints too early, not understanding the differences between ML system needs and other systems they’ve worked with.

Assuming you could have correctly anticipated those design needs earlier, rather than going back to iterate only after you get concrete evidence of the specific changes you need, is a big trap and time waster.

I don’t agree that you lose because the data scientist failed to consider production SRE patterns early enough. You lose when those SREs fail to take a YAGNI philosophy, let the unusual ML system’s chips fall where they may, and then intentionally go back and iterate on improving it.
No one really needs an entire family though. Get the Regular, Regular Italic and Bold to do everything a normal person would need a typeface for. $150. Everything else if for weirdos and designers buying type for their clients.

Ask HN: Do you pay someone to install self-hosted apps?
Last week I set up a self-hosted private analytics app following the project's Github readme, it took me more than 2 hours to get it working properly. I'm not really into devops. I thought it took too long, and maybe I could have hired someone to do it for me.

Do you set up all of your self-hosted apps? Do you know if there's a place to hire people to set things up for you? Would you pay for somebody to do that? Is there any security concern?

> Wikipedia could have been an invaluable resource for the struggling language. Instead, it’s just become another source of ammunition for people wanting to disparage and mock it, all because of this one person and their bizarre fixation on Scots, which unfortunately never extended so far as wanting to properly learn it.

How could it have been an invaluable resource for the language? Would actual Scots speakers have used it? Apparently they mostly don't contribute to it. The English wikipedia page on the Scots language says it has <100k native speakers and 1.5M L2 speakers and I'm guessing they're almost all fluent English speakers. How successful would the Scots wikipedia have needed to be actually used as an information resource to Scots speakers given that they can all easily use the extremely actively maintained English wikipedia?

It's maybe unfair to make the comparison to a Walmart that sets up in town and causes all the mom and pop shops to die off -- but when you're the "neighbor" of a giant, how do you compete?

Maybe I don't get it b/c I don't speak a language that needs active energy to protect. But I think it makes the most sense to focus on institutions and organizations that already have an external, mission-driven reason to produce content (e.g. schools, cultural institutions, governments, regional media) rather than trying to dedicate the volunteer hours (even when competent volunteers can be found) to try to produce an encyclopedia that few will have strong cause to use.

If you do expose your SSH port, one option is to setup a firewall rule to allow your own public IP for connections to the SSH port and drop all the rest.

If you're using Digital Ocean, you can set a firewall rule via the droplet web interface, that's quick to do. Otherwise just a simple iptables does the trick.

Edit: if you have a static public IP, of course

Surveillance pertains to asymmetric information, a situation where a few in the society (those in power) have access to the information of the rest of the society (those not in power, namely, the public) but not conversely.

The asymmetry of the information gives those in power great advantage over public. The rich and powerful claim, we monitor you to protect you, and to better serve you. The scope and the characteristics of the surveillance, the incentives and the historical evidence don’t support this claim. The harm is far more than potential benefits. The public should reread David Hume and stand up against this threat.

I'm a long-time Firefox user. I often hear people with savage opinions about Pocket. Can you state what hardship this has caused you? Did it violate your privacy? Does it impose extra layers of clicking to get work done or occupy valuable screen space? Is it helping to fund child slave labor?

The only time I am aware of Pocket is when someone online reports how this molehill is a mountain to them. I also wonder where they place their mouths while browsing that they experience it as being shoved down their throats.

Imagine how much time you spend on your chosen browser to configure it how you like it. How much extra work is it to set extensions.pocket.enabled to false in about:config if Pocket is causing so much pain?

The Plain English Campaign is not a useful authority on English usage. They are a group of prigs and pedants who issue press releases about alleged errors by famous people in the hope they will receive coverage in the British press and bring in work for their consulting business.

I've been waiting for someone to do a proper semantic search plugin in a browser for awhile. There was one awhile back called... Fuzbal ... which used word2vec and was good but has not been updated. You've implemented a more question-answer based approach. This is awesome!

I think that the real innovation will be when users are given exposure to lots of different models, and have the pros and cons of these models are properly explained to them. Maybe I want to use this on specialized bio-medical literature and would be better off with a model fine-tuned in that domain instead of on Squad.

Also, shameless self-plug, I wrote a system that does extractive summarization/highlighting of documents which is in principle very similar to what is going on here (https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/CX_DB8). For awhile, I had a hosted, web accessible version of this system available to make it easy to show it off to interviewers. It could highlight the important parts of a web-page based on a user query at either the word, sentence, n-gram, or paragraph level. I figured that the next step was to make it a browser extension. I simply wasn't proficient enough in JS and at the time I was working on this, quantized/pruned models were slightly less good. I firmly believe that making high quality semantic search work everywhere will be an extreme (and obvious) step-forward for most peoples daily tasks. What a brave new world we are entering!
There is very much a "light switch" effect that occurs when totality hits. It's a very discrete moment of time -- an obvious discontinuity which is part of what makes the phenomenon seem so otherworldly. If you didn't have that kind of nearly-instantaneous "lights out" experience then yes, you did miss out on the main event. In any case I definitely recommend getting into the path of totality in 2024.
