I really don't understand why they didn't go with Julia, it fits the purpose much better than Swift, already having a ML ecosystem and having great interop with Python, C, C++, R and Matlab.

I’m also curious what the point of your comment was. Can you please stop being so coy and just tell us!
If the failure were discovered by you a year later, realizing that all you thought was protected was in an adversary's hands.

Let's Encrypt started to make HTTPS available everywhere, and to make it free.

I think this will be true for the foreseeable future but is not true over the long term. Every one of the services a bank offers can be commoditized and offered as a service on a crypto based platform and over time new startups or existing crypto players will chip away at these pieces and build up an eco system. Existing banks could also integrate these services instead of competing with them.

For the record i'm not particularly a crypto fan boy, I have a degree in economics, and I've worked in finance so I don't think I fall into your clueless crypto enthusiasts bucket.
A search turned up this example of cocaine being diluted with marble powder:

> High concentrations of Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, and P were found, indicating that adulterants such as gypsum, marble powder, limestone, cement, and others must be used to increase the profitability of the illicit drug market.

http://static.sites.sbq.org.br/jbcs.sbq.org.br/pdf/2020-0204...

Diluting a very expensive product with something very cheap and selling it for the price of the pure product would certainly be a way of increasing profits.

From what I've read, many overdoses happen when users who are used to diluted heroin get hold of pure heroin, ending up with a much bigger dose than expected.

The paper I cited notes another risk for cocaine users: "Diluting substances such as talc, plaster, lime and chalk, used to increase the volume of the drug, are not absorbed and can cause chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, such as silicosis".
I assume you're referring to bit depth and sampling. In that case, any digitization is lossy, because where do you draw the line?

Given my druthers I'd prefer the ability to block people I don't want to play with, and have no anti-cheat system.

As an example if you play Warframe on consoles you'll find that you are encountering the same people game after game. So a block list (as a way to punish cheaters) would be useful because you aren't playing with a random selection of the entire world. There's also the case that Warframe is a game where cheating doesn't matter (though some abilities have been modified to prevent griefing).

If a subscription to a game store means it's possible to prevent multiplayer games matching me up with certain other subscribers, I'd much prefer that over the game publisher wanting to install anti-cheat software that takes control over my operating system.

Intangible Investment and Low Inflation: A Framework and Some Evidence
Yeah, I am an old man, and in my dotage, I was definitely thinking of the early desktop Chrome era, where it had more features…and now that I really dredge my memory, it was seemingly the time of never-ending ActiveX security exploits.

Mobile Chrome usage is a matter “it’s there”. It’s the system webview, so you’re going to see it at some point, no matter what.

Dentists Are Seeing an Epidemic of Cracked Teeth
"The U.S. has claimed that WeChat is a threat because its owner, Tencent Holdings Ltd., is intertwined with the Chinese Communist Party, which can use the app to disseminate propaganda, track users, and steal their private and proprietary data. It's a similar argument that the administration has used to target the TikTok app, while also forcing a sale of that app's U.S. operations."

Why does the issue have to be framed as being with the "owner" instead of the "conduct". The conduct being "to disseminate propaganda, track users, and steal their private and proprietary data". It seems reasonable that such conduct should be always a "threat", regardless of where the "tech" company is domiciled.

Let's regulate propaganda (advertising), tracking users and stealing users' private and proprietary data.
I think it might take a little more than one day to fully understand Java 8's new features around lambdas and streams.
In your first sentence you're mistaking JAX and XLA

XLA: Accelerated Linear Algebra, I guess it's kind of a backend/compiler that optimizes Linear Algebra/Deep Learning calculations with some very interesting techniques, among them fusing kernels

JAX: In some sense syntax sugar over XLA, but a better way of describing it is Composable transformations + Numpy + some Scipy. The composable transformations allow you to take derivatives (be them single, multi or vector valued functions and also higher order derivatives), JIT a function (which is them compiled to XLA), 2 forms of parallelism (vmap and pmap) and others, while being compatible with one another and with both TPUs, GPUs and CPUs
I feel like that particular issue could be resolved with even the most rudimentary reputation system. It’s how humans have solved the problem amongst ourselves. But I agree it will be a problem.
None of this is new in principle. The difference we are talking about here is more between a hunting rifle and an M-16. The depth, pervasiveness, and insidiousness of persuasion is so much greater with social media. It’s a wider channel, a bidirectional, channel, and a one on one channel.

Now when tech similar to GPT-3 gets out there it’s going to be like hunting rifle vs atomic weapons. Pretty soon we will have what I am calling “mechanized con artistry.” We are almost literally inventing the medieval demon whispering into everyone’s ear. Mass surveillance plus big data plus generative AI will be like the hydrogen bomb of propaganda.

Its not ideal, so I dont recommend it to anyone. It just so happens I am super tired after work, so I need to give my brain a rest. But because I’m sleeping so early (like 7pm - 9pm), I inevitably wake up during the late evening. Then i try not to waste the remainder of the evening and end up staying up late for math and programming. Programming is easy to stay up, math is hard to do consistently.

Then I sleep 3.30am or so to 8.30am, am cranky for the whole morning, but that is okay since I can do my work in autopilot most of the time.

The end result is I am definitely getting a solid few hours each day for my studies, whilst maintaining a job.

> Why does the issue have to be framed as being with the "owner" instead of the "conduct".

Because focusing on the owner lets us shoehorn this into a nationalistic us versus them argument.

Focusing on the conduct will turn it into a "The people" versus "Powerful media magnates".
It's more about the ability to share programmers than the literally code, in my opinion.

Yes, it disgusts me how some of our fellow engineers are controlled and manipulated due to their visa status. Meanwhile, non-H1B engineers can speak out about anything, and become uncooperative when asked do something perceived as idiotic, immoral, or even possibly illegal. I've seen other folks go ballistic on conference calls and emails due to one ridiculous thing or another. When you basically have a knife hanging over your head... potential deportation, disruption of your life and your family's... it is very different. You can't take those risks.
I do too, but someone of his caliber could probably be doing more good in research.
Has any major city ever drastically cut spending to address a secular trending down of tax revenue? Honest question, cause as far as I can tell modern cities just keep spending until they literally can’t at which point the city is long ago put a fork in it done.

Fining a bank a tiny percentage of their take from criminal activity is completely pointless. In fact it's arguably an example of regulatory capture. Serious enforcement of laws means putting lawbreakers in prison, like we did with the S&L scandal back in the '80s. Bill Black[1] was a hero.

I don't get it. Is that hard to apply for citizenship in US once you're there and working/paying taxes, all legal?

Because if there is some legal crap that basically once you get H1B you can't apply for citizenship then this needs to be changed.

Otherwise there is absolutely no excuse to become a US naturalized citizen. You went there, spend a decade and then you complain you have 60 days and then you're out. What about 600 days before that? That's just laziness.
I still haven't seen a module in the wild yet, they should've been standardized 20 years ago now (D has had modules from day 1, and there are more people on the C++ committee than working on D at all) . I hope they get some traction but I just can't see it helping for all but the newest codebases.
And that was just because the Trump administration didn't manage to satisfy the requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act, which just requires the executive to provide a reason.

The standard of review for free speech cases are way, way higher than the APA. The APA just means the executive can't blatantly lie about why it did enacted some regulation, and has to come up with a facially valid reason. The standard under the 1st Amendment requires a good reason.
I thought one comment was interesting:

You know what, as a sysadmin for some companies in Brazil, that could be a solution for multi user desktop in the enterprise around here. If the price isn't prohibitive. With a 10 core cpu it's possible to have 8 to 16 office user on one of those with a 10 core cpu using the the micro atx version. (if you shove 2 to 4 VGA boards for graphic processing and monitor outputs) Kinda grey area, but i could save a ton on software licenses. Just with microsoft licences I could save up to 32 hundred dollars on the first year.

"Multi-user desktops?" Is this a thing? Seems like a 10GBe network with remote desktop clients would indeed be a valid way to work around licensing costs.

You wouldn't need physical ports for that, although I could see this particular board being useful for other things.

Don't most of the really expensive software packages already allow you to run an on-site server for floating licenses?
I run ProxMox on my home server and do full USB pass through for a few guest OSes. I could imagine something like this being useful if I had more guests that need peripherals.

Many Thanks for the kind words. I felt I misjudged the purpose of this thread and did not want to sidetrack the conversation / steal the attention.

Also I feel like I am personally a better talker then doer, so I always get a bit of internal backlash within myself when I spend time talking about what I am doing vs doing it. In a similar vein, I need to reduce my addiction to Hacker News and use the time to study theorem proofs ;) But I think we all suffer from something similar :)
Ask HN: Companies/non profits working against climate change
I am looking for contributing towards fighting climate change and want to look for opportunities (both for profit/non profit) in the space. I am a techie with backend and ML experience.
The longer term goal with this is to understand the space and drive companies to adopting practices that help combat climate change.

Where should I look? Which companies/non profits are doing good work here?
I saw it a couple of days ago. I'm not the audience for this doc but I liked the interviews. The dramatizations were boring but I guess they make the point for younger audiences.
If the population numbers in the article are correct (~16,000 people homeless), that works out to $200,000 per person per year. I'm not familiar with how that is used, but from an outsider it sounds like there are a lot of inefficiencies in spending.
Executive agencies have to obey the Administrative Procedures Act which is not a high bar and yet the current administration doesn't always manage to clear it; it has had several policies turned back by SCOTUS for not being able to come up with a facially valid reason.
I really liked the futures analogy. On top of my head:

This is so full of sense in all degrees.
My tip would be to discriminate between what is under your control and what is not.

Typical things that are hard to control: the law of physics, the weather, 99.99% of human beings.

I get tons of recaptcha on google search, basically everytime i open firefox incognito, surprising how it never happens with chrome. Google is doing many anti-competitive things with chrome.
If it were just checking and issuing certificates, faster signing and slower verifying would be a bad tradeoff, since certificates are issued once and used many times; certificate size benefits notwithstanding.

The really nice thing performance wise is that when sending a certificate via TLS, you need to sign the TLS exchange up to that point. Making that faster means you can support a lot more connection handshakes with the same server.

Sure, the executive has constitutional powers, but the powers used in this WeChat ban come from the National Emergency act and the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, not the constitution. So I think the misunderstanding comes from the fact that you’re talking about constitutional powers, which are not at issue here. Powers created by legislation are constrained by the statutes themselves and Administrative Procedure Act requirements.
The cultures between Los Angeles and NYC are also very different.

When I made this sort of comparison myself, my day job didn't seem quite so bad. I've seen a few different studies into how academics spend their time. Seems that full professors spend about 9-10 hours per week doing research, and that's working around 55 to 60 hours week in total. (The numbers vary depending on which study you look at.)

So, if you work 40 hours per week and then do 10 hours per week of research, in some sense you're doing better than someone who did things "right". As someone who just completed a PhD but was unable to get a research position, I'm keeping this in mind. (And, more importantly, I'm doing vauable research that would be hard to do in academia.)
You're kind of fucked in that case regardless, and waterproof jacket will be the least of your concerns. All you have is a small handgun.

I started learning Java in 1996 and it was a real revelation back then. Coming from very platform-specific C, everything felt comparatively easy. And Javadocs were amazing.

Just a few months ago I dusted off an old project from 1997, loaded it up in IntelliJ IDEA, built it, and ran it. It worked! And that's Java's best feature, it's long-term language and library stability. I worry that it is at risk now with Oracle's new 6-month release cycle.
That is a really good article. The question that prompted is very telling: the asker fails to see nuance, and reduces OP's work to "backups." He/she might be more impressed if Colin were an author of tons of papers that collectively amounted to less than scrypt.
What he is testing is exactly what a column of water would do in a standard test. Re-watch the beginning and he talked about how to test it without the pump they would need at least a 92 foot long pipe. That would be 1,104 cubic inches of water, or 4.8 gallons of water, or about 40 lb, which would be 40 psi in the standard test. He is simply replicating the industry standard test that the manufacturers claim. You could argue that the test is flawed but literally every manufacturer uses it and I guarantee that 40 lb pushing down on a 1” by 1” square of fabric will stretch it.
Seeing posts like these, I feel incredibly grateful to have a personal network that I've never really had to go beyond in search of a job.

The point is on “reasonable”.

We are so far away from any reasonable efforts that we’d need to put pretty drastic punishments to even have a chance to tip the balance on the “too much” side.

In particular in the current situation we are talking about rampant criminal behavior, it seems weird to me to go “don’t tap too hard on their fingers, they are doing all their best, sending memos every quarter to absolutely not make money though unethical ways”
> As far as whether tech people are the most effective people to talk about the problems they created, I don't agree. I'd prefer someone who has expertise in the implications of technologies, who can root what is happening in social dynamics, human psychology, etc. Someone whose voice in those areas is highly respected, not someone who read a few articles or a book and then translated it. We need more of a Carl Sagan of sociology/psychology/history who can integrate and explain these things.

Until you or someone else that fits this personal preference of yours, I guess the problem is that we don't have a lot of choices in terms of interesting, enlightening, clear, and coherent documentaries that describe this problem.

So, yes, you may be right that someone else could describe this situation differently ... but absent that actually existing, this is (in my opinion) a pretty fine documentary, even if some of the talking heads are / were 'tech people'
