It doesn't include any standardized/machine-readable identifiers.

For example, the Spotify API track-level responses always contain the ISRC [1], but the JSON files contained in the GDPR request don't.

Spotify clearly does only the bare minimum required by the law and even actively frustrates GDPR requests by taking the maximum allowed time to respond to them.

It's for sure a hybrid given that they were microcoded on early ARM cores. But a really, really useful half way point given that those early ARM cores lacked caches unlike prototypical RISC chips and these instructions would other wise be competing with the memory transfers themselves if they didn't maximize density to a single aligned instruction.

It's often written like this, and regulations define more specific things (or it's left to judges).

Twitter is handing out week long bans to people retweeting the information 'because it is against our hacking rules'

But there is no evidence the information was hacked - the shop owner says Hunter Biden signed the data and computer over to him via the 90 day unpaid clause.

So Twitter is selectively enforcing their rules to suit their preferred narrative?
It's not that they couldn't do it, it's that LDM is a terrible instruction and was rightly removed in the cleanup that is arm64. See also: x86 LOOP...
I think I and andreareina are using the definition from the website. Yes, I think other people are using other definitions, which is causing confusion.

> Wouldn't the second category be more less CSPRNG?

The website says PCG is "Challenging" to predict and ChaCha20 is "Secure". So I think this means that PCG isn't a CSPRNG, but still is harder to predict than Mersenne Twister.

But is this useful at all? I don't know. This thread started by andreareina asking that exact question: "What applications require unpredictability where you wouldn't go full csprng?" People immediately then misunderstood the question because they misunderstood how the word unpredictability is being used.

A player not being able to mentally predict enemies and not seeing visible patterns sounds like it might fall more under the website's definition of "Statistical Quality".
"A flip-flop was demonstrated to operate at 770 GHz."

That's data, but not information - flip-flop Hz is far higher than the processor's Hz (which basically has to synchronise over billions of different circuits and run at the lowest common denominator) - so your figure can't be compared to a normal processor's clock speed, only a normal flip flop's speed.

Anyone know what a normal flip flop's speed runs at?
I mean, doesn't any big energy storage device become essentially a bomb? Batteries have some pretty impressive failure modes. As do large tanks of fuel. Even piped in energy sources can be dangerous as well. How many houses have literally exploded over a leaking gas line? Or burnt down due to faulty wiring?

Large amounts of energy stored in an area is inherently dangerous, no matter the form.
This is the first time I hear of this, still I’ll try to answer. I can’t really give a specific time frame but it’s mostly during “quiet” hours (so, either early morning or late at night)
If anyone is interested why R15 is special cased here a bit, it's because R15 is the program counter and that extra cycle is the interlock where they'd otherwise have to put a delay slot.
The reason so many US series are cancelled, and not just Netflix ones, is simply that there are too many of them. Producers discovered that most series attracts more viewers during their first episodes, then numbers start either exploding if the series is deemed to become a huge success, or slowly fading year after year. Therefore they already know that cancelling a series to replace it with a new one after some strong advertising will without any doubt pay in the short time.

How could they solve the problem without leaving watchers with unresolved plots and those awful cliffhangers? To me there are two possible solutions: either produce less series so that they're not competing against themselves, or offer by contract a way to resolve plots by guaranteeing that a certain number of episodes will be produced anyway after the cancellation decision. I don't see why implementing either, or even both, could be detrimental in any way to the business, unless they're counting profits by the cent with total disregard to their customers.
LDM/STM were also the source of some really wacky hardware bugs on some STM32 microcontrollers, such as:

> If an interrupt occurs during an CPU AHB burst read access to an end of SDRAM row, it may result in wrong data read from the next row if all the conditions below are met:

> • The SDRAM data bus is 16-bit or 8-bit wide. 32-bit SDRAM mode is not affected.

> • RBURST bit is reset in the FMC_SDCR1 register (read FIFO disabled).

> • An interrupt occurs while CPU is performing an AHB incrementing bursts read access of unspecified length (using LDM = Load Multiple instruction).

> • The address of the burst operation includes the end of an SDRAM row.

(https://www.st.com/resource/en/errata_sheet/dm00068628-stm32..., section 2.3.5)

Admittedly, this was a silicon bug in ST's memory controller. But it was a bug which was only triggered by LDM/STM instructions!
Mostly because user interface is meant to expose the common tasks to the user vs API which is supposed to give a low level control. curl is a good example, as a tool is fairly accessible, but as the library it gives control on all the aspects of connection, requiring much more knowledge/skill from the programmer. Not every user has this kind of knowledge, but still may want to use curl to do quick HTTP requests.

User != Programmer

Also, "bash calls" are cool - shell is a great tool to compose many diverse tools written in different programming languages. If all the tools were just configurable via writing code in their implementation language:
1) you would have to know all the programming languages
2) you would have to somehow input the code, parameters are just shorter than code
"Fantasy" seems a little bit harsh to me, when our deepest borehole reaches only 12,2km down. Also our acceptance of continental drift/plate tectonics is rather young.

In other words: We have a few vague assumptions of what happens down there, based on our current understanding of physics, which we base on what we could veri-/falsify by experimenting with things which are accessible or at least visible to us.

Nobody has been down there, we have no pristine samples, nor the ability to get them(for now).
I talked to a lot of people who lived in the soviet union, who watched Finnish television broadcasts that could be heard beyond our borders. Their parents told them that all the tv ads for e.g. bananas in the 1990s were in fact propaganda, and that regular people in Finland surely couldn't purchase such exotic fruits.

So I can assure you, the people living in "non-capitalist systems" do not in fact "go shopping".
IDK, it's a fantastic instruction... for in order, cache poor designs. It's awful for the gate counts AArch64 is targeting though.
> developers are forced to borrow time from writing code and redirect it towards managing the issues associated with highly complex, multi-factor developer toolchains held together in places by duct tape and baling wire. This, then, is the developer experience gap. The same market that offers developers any infrastructure primitive they could possibly want is simultaneously telling them that piecing them together is a developer’s problem

The past had a solution for this: the system administrator. He could design and implement robust and simple systems to provide infrastructure and tooling for developers to deploy their code. But this isn't "cool" any more. You have to use tens of self-service bleeding edge (read unproven and unstable) concept tools bought from the players who have the most money to invest in tech conferences, blog posts, astroturfing, evangelists, etc, and pretty much nothing left to pay their own developers.

For example try telling people they would be better off with their code being packaged and delivered by a Debian package instead of a container image - see how fast they consider you a crazy preacher from the past.
Today I learned that there are other aspects for CSPRNG beside the stronger definition of unpredictability. Wikipedia mentions inability to calculate previous values in case the hidden internal state gets revealed. So I assumed that top question was intentionally asking about weaker definition of predicatability not PRNG that have good enough unpredictability for CSPRNG but doesn't match other requirements.
You would expect Twitter and Facebook to articulate standards in advance and adhere to them consistently, but in this case we have individuals who have literally been on the payroll of one political side making exceptional judgements on behalf of the platforms that nakedly favor one side over another, consistently.
This looks awesome, great job! One thing that will slow me down from using this is I've not settled on an ID or Access Management system. Being a small company, we occasionally need to grant system access to contractors or other dev teams. The problem is we don't want to grant the access too wide and specifying fine grained controls takes a lot of time.

Armon mentions Okta and Ping, does anyone have any recommendations in this space that would work for managing a small team with occasional on/off boarding of contractors?

For many years it's seemed pretty obvious to me that most people don't have a need for a laptop for 'real work', but could instead just drop their phones in to a slick little dock connected to a keyboard, mouse and a large touch screen. I believe this was the original vision behind Ubuntu Phone before it was pared-down and made boring.

Completely wireless pairing would be even better.

It seems like the hardware is good enough, the only thing really holding us back is that the software development environments on mobile platforms are primitive compared to anything on PC (Linux, macOS or Windows). It's hard to imagine developing anything like Photoshop on Android for example, and even office tools like Word are terrible on mobile.

Maybe Apple will make this happen someday.

Could it also be the case that this is rendered partially obsolete by vector instructions? Obviously vector loads/stores don't cover all these cases, but I have to imagine they cover quite a few, and without all the bookkeeping (who knew loading one big thing would be so much easier to keep track of than loading a handful of tiny things).
I’ve been pondering writing a kernel module that basically exposes the Golang TLS API (with hooks for things like CertPool and VerifyConnection) - so that rather than opening TCP sockets, you can open a TLS socket directly. There’s a lot of complication involved here, but having the TLS state inaccessible from userspace has a lot of desirable attributes.

Further on this line of thinking, it’s an entirely reasonable extension of the “secure bastion” on modern processors to allow for a temporary private key store - You load your private key into the bastion and get back a key handle, which can then be used to do TLS handshakes but only through the bastion. Once that’s done, recovery of the private key is impossible, only abuse of it by the kernel (by passing that handle to other processes)

WHO has now accepted https://www.who.int/bulletin/online_first/BLT.20.265892.pdf for publication, which concludes:

"Most locations probably have an infection fatality rate less than 0.20% and with appropriate, precise non-pharmacological measures that selectively try to protect high-risk vulnerable populations and settings, the infection fatality rate may be brought even lower. "
Yet the pattern of the last four years for bombshell stories has been more to the tune of “unnamed intelligence official”, “high-level anonymous source”. That’s anything but verification.

No, because you still want fairly dense dumps of registers out to cache for function prologues. So blits from the integer register file still show up in your profile traces, hence LDP/STP.

Show HN: Launching a Free DataOps Platform
Hey everyone,

we've been developing a DataOps platform for almost a decade and it's currently used by companies like ProductBoard, Erste Bank, Home Credit, and many others.

But, talking with prospects, we realized it's time to roll out a free tier of our platform. At this point, we'd just like for data teams/individuals to try it out and leave a valuable feedback. If you do love it though, you can always add more projects by purchasing additional credits. However, feel free to use our free tier as long as you need it (+ we won't ask you for your credit card info).

What is this DataOps platform?
It's a multi-cloud platform which unifies data management, collection, governance, pipeline automation, and sharing of data.

Do you need your own database/dwh?
No, it's included in the free tier.

What features does it offer?
We prepared a special page for this one: https://www.keboola.com/paygo/data-scientists

Can I learn more about the freemium tier?
https://www.keboola.com/blog/run-projects-in-keboola-connection-for-free

I'm here for all your questions and feedback. Thanks!

Your summary of the "current status quo" is a reasonably accurate summary of the legal situation BEFORE S230 was passed, and is exactly what S230 was designed to remedy.

The current status quo, as I understand it, is:

1. Everybody (newspapers, social media) can be held liable for their OWN content (e.g. the NYT for their articles).
2. Nobody can be held liable for disseminating OTHER people's content (letters to the editor, tweets), whether or not they decide to filter some of that content out of their own volition.
3. (This is where my understanding gets murky) Once the disseminating entity has been made aware that something they disseminate is illegal (copyright violation, illegal pornography, etc), they bear some responsibility for stopping the further dissemination.
That's the point though: if a video had, in the intervening time, asserted this more accurate IFR, it'd be against the letter-of-the-law per these rules.

The WHO hasn't been the infallible source of truth that Google is trying to portray - nobody has.
Also lots of...cranks? I just registered and subscribed to comp.misc, and in between lots of innocuous posts there is this (under "Microsoft and Intel donate to BLM"):

The science you are referring to is very weak. The only randomized trial on cloth masks was completed in 2015.

> But not disclosing a financial arrangement isn't illegal in itself.

What is making you think this is true? It's not.

For example 3/4 of the example cases here are around undisclosed financial arrangements in influencer marketing, and in all cases the company admitted fault:
https://mediakix.com/blog/ftc-influencer-marketing-violation...

I'm not sure what your definition of illegal is, but there is a law that the FTC is using to win legal cases on the issue.
Quasirandom is unrelated to anything we're talking about. Quasirandom intentionally makes the output very different from random (avoiding clustering).

Every other thing in the PCG website and in this thread attempts to be similar to random (with varying degrees of success). No one here is trying to intentionally be different from random.

> Sibling comments are completely correct.

No sibling comment says anything about quasirandom. The sibiling comment mentioning graphics (by Karliss) actually sort of disagrees with you, and says that we want stuff to be as close to random as possible for graphics so that players don't see patterns. Of course there can be multiple types of graphics situations, some where quasirandom would be useful (the blog you linked), some where a real random approximation would be useful (Karliss's situation).
Then they should realize that noble lies will erode trust in institutions (rightly so).
> There's literally no reason to believe that this is correct and anything else other than dogma.

Christianity, for example, was supported by blasphemy laws. Once those laws were undermined or removed its doctrines and practices were able to be challenged, and now we see greater numbers of non-believers in formerly Christian countries as a result.

There's certainly dogma in that example but not the sort you were positing.

As I've pointed out elsewhere, you've time limited the results for no apparent reason. That a lie can get halfway round the world before truth has a chance to get its trousers on does not obviate the power of truth and the power to speak truth.
FWIW, disabling the read fifo like that would be a really goofy choice, but yeah, very good point. These are very special cased instructions that are different even than DMA transfers you might expect them to look like.
Now think about all the conspiracy theories that actually turned out to be truth. MK ULTRA, Dark Alliance, Tuskegee Syphilis Study, COINTELPRO, PRISM, you name it. Would these be banned ("fact checked") from YouTube, Facebook or Twitter under these new rules?

On the other hand, there is a clear evidence that authoritarian regimes (Russia) are weaponizing social media, using troll farms, puppet accounts and fake news, to disrupt democracies by sowing discord, uncertainty and doubt and radicalise any and all opinion spectrums. I would be surprised if the Russian trolls did not actively work to promote and decry Covid conspiracies at the same time.

What is the correct solution here, that I don't know. No approach is flawless and there will always be collateral damage.

I remember it more from the times when illegal releases were raced to ftp servers to be downloaded by everybody, pre torrent.
I have to disagree on your assessment about whether our science community based the advice on polls from Republican voters.

I was in favor of masks (might have helped since I lived in Asia previously), and debating people early on about the usage. I don't know about now, but there was a lack of published evidence on non n95 masks, and even the use of n95 masks were debatable because of fit tests.

As someone else pointed out, this is what Sweden says to this day.

"The scientific evidence around the effectiveness of face masks in combatting the spread of infection is weak, which is why different countries have arrived at different recommendations."

I doubt the Swedes are trying to sway the US election.

This is a hilariously naive way of seeing things. Science is never neutral and never can be, and pretending it is neutral is just saying you're fine with the current status quo.

Trump actively harms science and scientists and universities, so why should the scientific community system quiet?
Ah, I see what you mean! I was unknowingly being sloppy with terms, thank you for pointing that out.

There are a lot of primary sources detailing what happened in late 2016, early 2017, and we have no excuse not to read them to understand what happened. It’s shocking. Wikipedia is not going to be a reliable source on this, I’m afraid.
The ban on pornography isn't specific though. A comparable move would be to ban all videos covering medical information - strange but not "we're deciding what the truth is".
