“Any government action that would derail or delay Windows 98 would hurt the American economy and would cost American jobs.”

Tangential, since this article is about the US and China. But if the US has dropped the ball, then Europe (or the EU specifically) didn't even bother to go to the game. The only thing we're innovative at is coming up with regulations. And I say this as someone who thinks the US tech sector should be under much heavier regulatory scrutiny.
That's multiple companies and already illegal.

The point is that if no single person in a non-union company had any power then they wouldn't be paid anywhere near what they are in these companies.

Might I ask what line of work you're in that 100mb+ would be a limiting factor?

I ask because I've been doing remote work web development for 9 years now on a 10mb DSL line, and honestly haven't really seen much any need to go faster. Not at least work-related requirements.
Sandboxing didn't prevent fake versions of Fortnite and other serious malware from spreading on Android, nor does it generally prevent information theft and privacy violation through malicious use of legitimate APIs.
> Debugging is built into the language in a simple way.

Lua debugging interface notably lacks breakpoints. You can simulate breakpoints by per-line hooks but it's not performant. Many popular JS engines including V8 do support performant breakpoints by bytecode patching, and Lua do have multiple patches doing the same (well, a common theme) but none is official.
On average, property tax rates are low but property values are very high so it's a wash. They still pull in a lot more per house than many states. Meanwhile California has the highest state income tax rate, with 13.3 percent in the top bracket. Some states have no income tax.

I think people in states like Hawaii and Connecticut might end up being taxed higher overall, but California is certainly near the top of the bunch, not the bottom.

And they are slowly covering more and more of the population with medi-cal. Presumably they want to eliminate the gig economy to make it easier to keep extending it.
Labor regulations do not protect the most vulnerable in our society. They create far more vulnerability and marginalization, by getting in the way of private contracting and initiative. And the more regulations are piled on to "solve" the problem, the more this occurs. See the dismal situation of, e.g. socially marginalized ethnic minorities in places like France as an example.
The advances in physics are minute compared to fields such as biology. The most minute and useless part is particle physics where the findings are completely unuseable in normal life.

Solid state phishing sees some advances, but they are not earth shattering, compared to biology. The day where there will be a substance you put on a cavity of a tooth and it cleans the wound and settles will be something worth of news (that's just an example).

At some point, with limited funding, one must make a choice on "fundamental studies" and study what has a chance of having a practical use.

Just in case : I have a PhD in particle physics done at CERN and I regret not having taken a field which makes more sense than such impractical studies.

Taxes are ridiculously high in California, and amongst the highest in the country. Sales and income taxes more than make up for any savings in property taxes, and now with the SALT deduction changes, it's even worse in CA.

There's just a lot of low-income people here who don't pay taxes which skews the result.

Show HN: Exploring a Docker image, layer contents, and ways to shrink it
Assuming the sensor is 7 full moons across as indicated in their figure, the FOV is only 3.5°. In this case the plane at 15 miles distance is only 0.9 miles across.
>I... er, did?

You... Ugh... Didn't? You claimed that it suffers from MITM attack. You are not able to prove that it suffers from any MITM attack (the docs specifically outline a way to mitigate a specific MITM attack, but do not outline any others). Unless you have a source that states otherwise, you're wrong.

>You're intercepting the packet and blocking it by being in the path.

Wrong, that is by definition not a MITM attack.

>Bastion hosts are generally SSH/RDP/VNC type affairs. SSH in to the bastion and then you have access to the other servers.

Correct, and you set up port knocking for these. Thanks for proving my point.

>This is actually how I set things up in production environments - the VPN concentrator only allows access to the jumphosts, and then there's extensive logging and auditing there.

There should be extensive logging and auditing on the bastion host. Port knocking reduces the noise to effectively 0.

>I'm not sure why Wireguard only supporting UDP would be a problem - you can pass whatever type of traffic inside of the tunnel.

There have been multiple instances where UDP has been block at sites in the past. Looks like you're ignorant to this. Look up why OpenVPN supports TCP.

Sure you can and you should. You’re not wrong, at least in some cases, but the Nordic countries have a huge level of built in trust in other people.

It also seems weird to lie in your CV, what are you going to do if you actually get the job? You’d fail horribly and get fired.

My point is that in some parts of the world you can actually trust resumes. If companies start making outrages demands, like 15 years of experience in a 10 year old technology, then of cause desperate people will lie.
Who isn't bias? That's what defines an individual personality. If we would remove everybody who expresses some biases you wouldn't have that much choice of people at the end.

The fact that people have bias cannot be the issue in itself, problems occur when they are ignored and not taken in account by systems.

For example a hiring process can take in account biases and have ways to correct for them, for example by avoiding to have one single interviewer having way more weight than another, by doing blind reviews, etc.
I think that quote could use a bit of nuance itself (albeit, yeah, maybe bringing up Hiroshima like that does set off Godwin's Law alarm). China can develop datasets on millions (billions?) of people and, yes, given the current state of AI research, that can give them an edge, and I am, too, of the opinion that it's better to not have this edge than to develop it at such an expense in human lives and well-being.

So where is the scientific answer to that? Is there any serious additional research effort, and more industrial effort, going into models that are less reliant on training data, for example? What industries are trying to become less dependent on massive data collection, and on massively data-driven models?

You can still get heaps of money with a product that can be aptly described as "it does linear regression with sugar on top and it'll tell you great things if you throw more than 100GB of tables at it". Selling an analytics SaaS that sucks up data from every imaginable data source to tell you things about your Google Analytics graphs is still a pretty profitable business. On the other hand, serious researchers in academia, and a lot of talented engineers, are struggling to get funding for topics that do not have the magic words "machine learning", "data-driven", and "AI" in them, and they mostly go ignored because everything can be solved with enough data.
I’m willing to hear your nuanced take on how America balances innovation with ethics.

It’s the very same innovation that is used to wage wars that have destabilized whole regions and led to the deaths of millions. Or the same military force that is used to implicitly backstop dictators that have carried out some of the worst genocides of this century.

I’m not sure this is what balancing ethics looks like.

America is innovative. Sure. America is god gifts to humanity the most ethical and innovative civilization we couldn’t do without ? No.
Do you actually think damages caused in actual wars are somehow comparable to those in peace time technical development? What do you really mean by that?
Man, you’d be surprised what rate of engineers I interviewed for a .NET job ever seen a Docker image. I think maybe a few out of 30. Most of them still coming from the classic Windows/.Net framework/IIS eco-system.
On one of their picture, it shows 7 moons wide, which is probably a good approximation (6 lines of those 7 moon images does seem close to filling the area of the sensor in their pictured representation, if you then shift some moons when the sensor lines get shorter at the top and bottom).

So using your calculation it could be, approximately: 7*0.5° = 3.5° in FOV.
> "if the biz cannot afford the $800 fees annually"

This kind of thinking leads to unlimited taxation without accountability.

It's not a question of affordability but about value provided. The marginal cost of a new filing is pretty much $0. You gain nothing from these fees as a business and all it does is reduce the amount of economic activity in the first place.

California also extracts these fees from any corporation that operates in the state, regardless of where it's incorporated. Again with no discernible benefit commensurate to the tax.
It's not that I wouldn't like to share some, but this question is simply too generic for me to be able to answer it like that.

Gmail started as an internal 20% project too, I think. The key elements of GCP were also developed in-house. But yeah, a lot of their good stuff started as an acquisition.

I mean, is it really that far out there if you look at the past two decades of history of malware on Windows and particularly Android?

Sandboxing has not prevented the proliferation of malware on Android, why would it be any different on iOS?

Sandboxing also doesn't really address the other major risk which is theft of personal information by supposedly "trustworthy" apps.

> I'm used to sorting into colored glass, clear glass, paper, cardboard, metal, compost, batteries, plastic and "general".

I wonder how much people in your area recycle in general. With this many categories - and the unstated requirement that plastic/metal/glass containers must be cleaned/degreased, labels peeled off, etc., I'd personally give up on recycling altogether.

This work shouldn't be done by consumers because it's inefficient across the board. It wastes much more total man-hours, and a lot more water and power, compared to a centralized sorting facility.

Thinking on johnfn's response, and yours, these are all simple SQL queries. You could easily delineate to others what each query does, and let people choose from a list.

EG "best average" "most reviewed" "users in country + frequency" and such.

This doesn't even need to hit performance, as these queries could all run on a secondary SQL server, be cached in redis/whatever once an hour, or even day.

After all, this sort of list output doesn't need to be second by second changing.

So simple to implement, non-performance impacting, which makes it even more curious as to 'why not'. Likely, a UI/UX person thinks it will 'confuse' people.

(I know that may not be the case, but it seems to kill more sites, and more flexible functionality, than anything...)
"As noted above, active technical management of radiative forcing rather clearly will entail expenditures
of no more than $1 B/year, commencing not much sooner than a half-century hence, even in worst-case
scenarios.8
One thus might say, “Let’s just put a sinking-fund of $1.7 B into the bank for use in
generating $1 B/year forever, commencing a half-century hence, and proceed with the human race’s
business as usual. All of the Earth’s plants will be more productive for being much better-fed with CO2
and much less exposed to solar UV radiation, kids can play in the sun without fear, and we’ll continue
to enjoy today’s climate, bluer skies and better sunsets until the next Ice Age commences.”

The most effective way at getting through the pain period for me was to Anki about 2000 sentences (both reading and listening cards for each sentence) and have that cover all the way up to upper intermediate level grammar. Doing so gives you a base of about 1500 ~ 2000 vocab at the same time.

After that progress takes off if you acquire vocab as fast as possible while speaking to natives as much as possible.

That initial bootstrapping phase can be done in 4 months.
Then don't return or expect arrays. Return and expect Pointers of a given type.

According to [1] it placed 13th (of 40) last year with 9.798 crimes/100k inhabitants. According to [2] it was 9th in 2018.

Combining the two ([2]also lists the safest 10 cities) I question the impact for the lower parts of that list, as the difference in absolute numbers for the lower "safe" cities and the lower "dangerous" cities is quite low.

This is a good point, it can be hard to predict what gene does what. Most genes that have been targetted for gene therapies tend to be the singular and known source of a genetic disease. Something like the sodium transporter mutation in cystic fibrosis. If you fix it, it is clear what will happen; you will clear out the disease. Most diseases are not so simple and we are still getting to grips with even mapping the mutations scattered across the genome and the global human population that are relevant to certain diseases. I think when you dont have a single genetic cause, but a mix of various genetic factors instead, then the drug route is optimal. For exactly the reasons you stated.
It is the old military industrial complex thing again, isn't it?

Drumming up a scary vision of global war against China using flying AI-killer robots in outer space while your companies are siphoning billions of dollars out of defense budgets and you get your competition (Huawei, TikTok etc.) banned on national security grounds.

Innovation comes from a functioning global market place of "ideas". It is a 1+1=3 game, not a zero-sum one.

The people of Hiroshima were building submarines and torpedos, supplying an Imperial Japan Naval base, and supporting a war that Japan declared on the United States.

And wouldn't stop doing so until destroyed, whether with conventional or nuclear bombs.
And let the brain drain go to Europe or China instead?. Or is it statistically possible that the best innovators and skilled individuals are only born in the US?

I do not mind a little competition if we bring people who might improve our technological edge. China is going to surpass the US eventually and oh lord, we are in denial!.

This is my opinion, I am not claiming to know the absolute truth or facts.

Sorry, the phrasing there is unfortunate - what I'm trying to say is that there was an already strange moral 'ordering' to crimes (that I agree is artificial) that was slowly eroded.
Wikipedia blocks all of T-Mobile (USA, anyway) IPs from editing, so not anymore.
I totally agree that C shepherds you into pointers. I also think C shepherds you into writing everything from scratch. Most of all I think it's a self-perpetuating cycle of "there's no system for X (e.g. sized arrays, packaging system, classes) so everyone makes their own, and now all other code feels slightly incompatible with all other code."
The company i ultimately chose to work for had a take-home assignment setup.

It was an easy assignment that covered a lot of concepts, and it was followed by a 2 hour techinical discussion on it and all things related and unrelated with my future colleagues.

Outside of that the interview stuff was just around personality and culture fit.

Aren’t the fields already bifurcated? Software engineering degrees exist. The fact that many software engineers have a more theoretical degree in computer science isn’t that unusual; you see the same pattern with business and economics.
It is. Since 2012 C has dropped from about 4% of Github code to 3%. Meanwhile Rust has climbed from 0 to about 1%. That on its own doesn't prove that people are moving from C to Rust but it's not a risky guess. I did see some data on language transitions a while ago but can't find it now unfortunately (why is browser history search still so shit?).

I see you don't have kids. Even with one, even when we tried to go as eco-friendly way as possible (including using washable diapers with washable paper inserts), there are limits.

Eco wash liquids are not as effective, so you end up sometimes washing twice (what's eco about that?).

Washable diapers are much less absorbent compared to regular ones, so its not an option for us for night - baby skin would be highly irritated the next morning. Same goes for more liquid poop - it would overflow very easily. And so on.

If you are en eco fanatic, then you can go that way, but in our case it would mean actively hurting our baby.
Reinfection appears rare.

Vaccination slows the rate of transmission and so protects people who are high risk of death and harm while everyone else gets on with life.
You're right, the trained models evaluated in the paper did not perform proof
verification, which was handled by an external, hand-crafted Metamath
verifier.

However, the trained models didn't generate new _proofs_ either. Rather, they
assigned log-probabilities to proof _steps_ (a substitution unifying a theorem
to a goal) and the log-probabilities were then used to select the best next
goal to expand during a traditional, hand-crafted best-first search (the
authors say that the search ended up being breadth-first "most of the time",
but it was coded as best-first, from their descriptions).

Anyway this is a bit sideways to your point. I still think you're nitpicking
about my use of the word "useful" and applying it without much sensibility to
an argument about complexity that you are interested in. I didn't say anything
about complexity. I said that proof verficiation is very useful. I also don't
agree that it's "trivial". There are simple enough algorithms to perform it,
but, for example, Metamath's "variable substitution" is, from what I can say,
essentially unification and while unification is efficient, it was only
described - I was going to say by Robinson, but Wikipedia tells me that
Herbrand had a unification algorithm before that, which was still quite late
in the history of mathematics (early 20th century). Your comment above about
how proof verification is "trivial" is only true in hindsight.

I said above I don't mind nitpicking, but I'm actually getting a bit tired
with it. My original comment made a point about the lack of clear motivation
in the discussed paper. Your comment chose to address tiny point made as an
aside and in response to another comment. What is the purpose of that? What
have we learned from this discussion about the triviality of proof
verification and the NP-completeness of proof generation? Was this a
productive exchange for either of us, or was the whole point of this to show
off how much we respectively know to make the other commenter feel a fool?
