How can the quality of political information be improved?
In my mind, the single greatest threat humanity faces is that truth has become relative, polarized, and ambiguous.

Most of the people storming the Capitol weren't lunatics, or anarchists, but regular folks who are terrified. They're terrified because they really believe that their favored candidate was illegally robbed of office.

It's easy to dismiss their concerns, but for those people this is their reality. What they see on Facebook, Youtube, TV, and radio reinforces and invigorates their fear and anger.

The people who run those platforms, or create that content, aren't necessarily evil, they just exist in an ecosystem where engagement is king and tepid, informative content is forgotten.

Unless this balkanization of the truth can be stopped, I don't see how our republic, or any republic, could possibly survive.

What can be done to fix this problem?
Wasp Language
It would be fairly trivial to encode information in single frame swaps (both audio and video) in such a way that these swaps are imperceptible and irreversible. There are many compression artifacts that could be used similarly (e.g. does a 1 bit increase in average screen color is rarely going to be perceptible).

Regarding hi/low pass, theoretically this should be fairly simple to defeat by spreading the information across multiple frames.

Note: I know next to nothing about watermarking, my comment is just a purely hypothetical attack on your trivial assumption. The trivial work around has trivial work around work around... ;) <insert that scene from the big hit>
This source would need to serve as a proxy to the real source (if it exists) in law that claims these rules are in fact, actual law. That is what is being asked. This is not law, it rather a organization on a plight to attempt to make it law. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have never heard of a software engineer *requiring* a licence to do their work. How many titles out there have sales engineer? Have you ever heard of a Sales Engineering program to graduate from? I'm not one to flaunt laws, but it's hard to imagine a large portion of companies, some very reputable, are illegally employing boatloads of engineers in Canada. On a lighter note, it's also hard not to imagine that this organization is the personified Karen of engineering gatekeeping. Is there anything, anywhere that actually sources Canadian Law?

I have never in any software engineering position I've ever applied for seen any form of "Applicant must show an engineering licence to be considered". Why is that not ever seen? Shouldn't all these companies be abiding by the law?

I'm simply leaving all doors open to prove it wrong with an open mind, but the evidence has to be clear. Is it part of law or is it not? And if so, from an official source, where?
The US has public television - PBS - it's funded by tax revenues rather than a "TV license".
Absolutely, positively, welcome! :)
That violates physics and is impossible, so you shouldn't be hopeful for that.

Instead you should be looking for new improvements on efficiency (exhaust velocity), cost, and thrust-to-weight-ratio. Continued marginal improvements on those things (and there's a lot to improve upon) causes massive changes in the future.

I don't understand why nobody asked OP the exact date and time this picture was taken, which they would certainly have if they are the original photographer.

With a date and time you can easily cross reference press schedules (released by the White House) or flight plan data (archived by FlightRadar24 among others) or Twitter posts or other published photographs or....etc. AF1 isn't exactly a stealth fighter; its location at least domestically is rather well tracked.
AnyVan confirms digital break-in says customer names emails and hashed passwords
It's actually quite hard to get the FCC to fine you, you have to do something very clearly illegal for a very long period of time, and ignore the warnings given... Such as the WISP in UT some years back which continued to operate PtMP last mile 5 GHz stuff in the DFS radar bands, and got fined $25,000.

If you go through the notices of apparent liability issued by the FCC, which are all public, the individual persons getting fined are egregiously dumb, such as the guy who operated a multi band cellular jammer on his daily commute north/south on the interstate freeway in Florida. Or you have to do something like operate a pirate FM radio station for many months at a time always from the same fixed location.

The FCC's enforcement bureau does not have a great number of staff or resources to go chasing down everything.
This is why the value of free speech needs to be protected. If enough people holds this value then it becomes difficult for anyone to change it.
Last I heard (and I haven't had direct visibility into this since about 7 years ago) aliases are preserved between versions for backwards compatibility, but you shouldn't use abbreviated parameter names in scripts because there's no guarantee that they won't become ambiguous if more parameters are added to a command.

I don't think there's "right" and "wrong", but bizarre (entitled?) expectations. A natural part of Open Source is that someone may come in and make way more money off of something than you do. In fact, Amazon makes way more money off of Linux than Linus ever did. But you don't even have to go that far, many completely unrelated YC companies made way more money off of Linux than Linus did, and could arguably have not pulled that off without Linux being a free OS that you don't even have to think about since it's so ingrained in hosting. But when the intent of Open Source is "to increase the quality of software around the world", this is considered a good result. However, when the intent of Open Source is some nebulous initial hyper-growth to then hope you can offer hosting, the expectations just aren't set correctly. Unfortunately, the open source strategy does not magically offer the right result based on the intent of the author.

If Linus all of a sudden woke up tomorrow and said "Hey, I just realized that I'm not being paid a cut by literally every single company in Silicon Valley, that is NOT OK, I am going to shift gears and remove non-contributor code and start releasing Linux as closed source from now on", I feel people would be less forgiving than they are to these much less impactful companies. But Linus would be as "right" as they are, arguably more so.

Many of these companies are simply learning that maybe all those "dinosaurs" of the 90s might have been onto something with commercial licensing, which ultimately seems to be what they actually want: to charge money for their software. Sure, it doesn't get you free contributions and ready-made communities, but it gets you money, which is what a company is supposed to do. And that's fine! It's just not Open Source.

Thank you for liking it!
Yes I was thinking of adding a system tray functionality and adding console client commands as well.
Did I miss that they are moving to closed source?

The "license update (that) prohibits making a service that directly sells Elasticsearch" is what makes the new license not Open Source.
> Maybe I'm missing something, but don't the vast majority of applications don't care about what architecture they run on?

There can be issues with moving to AArch64, for instance your Python code may depend on Python 'wheels' which in turn depend on C libraries that don't play nice with AArch64. I once encountered an issue like this, although I've now forgotten the details.

If your software is pure Java I'd say the odds are pretty good that things will 'just work', but you'd still want to do testing.

Thank you for the kind words about Serverless Stack. Frank and I poured ourselves into creating it. So it makes me really happy when I hear that it ended up being helpful.

On the Lambdas per service front, the express server inside a Lambda function does work. A lot of our customers (and Seed itself) have APIs that need to have lower response times. And individually packaging them using Webpack or esbuild ends being the best way to do it. So you'll split each endpoint into a Lambda.

I just think the build systems shouldn't limit the architectural choices.
> Most people don't have the luxury of a room they can convert into an office.

For those who don't understand, here's my annecdote:

After the divorce the only thing I could afford in my son's school district is a 2 bedroom^ apartment. I have to pack up "my office" just to serve dinner. We now have lunch from the couch. I'm not complaining, but the idea of a dedicated room is up there with personal island for me.

I hardly feel that claiming that corporations are able to exert the same type of non-democratic control over society as a monarchy through a complex system of ideological tools that make even pointing out the existence of such a power structure forbidden is reductionist.

And the idea that HN should be free from any critical or skeptical opinions of the current state of the tech industry is at least against the hacker spirit, which, for all of PGs faults, is at least part of the founding of this forum.
A robust watermarking system will include some sort of error correction, so the answer is that it might, it depends on how much error it introduces.

A purpose built algorithm designed to thwart watermarking however is far more likely to be successful than a compression algorithm that is designed to maintain the integrity of the audio.

Often we confuse there being precedent for an event with the precedent being actually right.

I understand both perspectives here: what's "morally" right and what is strictly by the book right.

Personally, I lean towards the latter. As the famous quote says (paraphrased), I may not agree with what you say, but I'll always defend your right to say it.

At the very least it should go through due process, not be at the whim of some private organization.
It's made things worse for our family where we have this overpacked shared common space. We just signed a lease to move into a bigger place to make things more tenable to keep up the schoolwork and office productivity with more separate spaces. We're hoping it'll pay off for us, it will at least monetarily with about $700 savings per month.

We found out the hard way too that renting a single detached house is a much more involved affair than an apartment. It's a multiday process involving a bunch of parties and things can go in limbo for like a week as applications are brought in and reviewed by the property management and the homeowner before giving the green light. We wound up signing a lease in the first week of this month for a move-in date in mid February. The property management companies have been saying that since Coronavirus lockdowns spread the demand for renting houses have really gone up.
AWS is the company which did this, with Open Distro for Elasticsearch.

Turns out, AWS is more user and FOSS-friendly than the "open source company" which created the software in the first place. A surprising twist.

Ubuntu 64 looks the same on Graviton as on a Raspberry Pi. You can take a binary you've compiled on the RPi, scp it to the Graviton instance and it will just run. That works the other way round too, which is great for speedy Pi software builds without having to set up a cross-compile environment.
So if AWS open sourced their version, it would be OK to sell as a service?
Solution three : Invest to make x86 to become power efficient to reach at par or better than arm counter part, while outsourcing manufacturing to TMSC to fill the gap. Reach to the level Future Apple M chip will achieve. At the same time, start building bare metal cloud hosting solutions that allow other companies to provide their own cloud solutions, ( and using energy efficiency at your advantage ), also use that energy efficiency to create mobile platform that can enable Mozilla and Ubuntu like provider to make operating syatem on.

I have an early teen w/ADHD and the two days he's in school are fine, but the three days he's learning from home are a challenge. Each home day is a struggle due to weak executive functioning and the plethora of channels and sources of information required to simply understand the day's work. None of the normal school resources are available, so it's up to mom and dad to help get through the day. I rarely get 30 minutes of flow time on Wednesday through Friday.

Frank here from Seed. Just wanted to add that when you have a monolithic Lambda, multiple routes would share a CloudWatch log group, metric, and share a common node in x-ray. On the flip side, the advantage of having separate Lambda functions handling each route lets you leverage other AWS services better.

For the customer, the biggest advantage of AWS' SaaS offerings over a 3rd party's (hosted on AWS) is the billing. AWS Marketplace negates that. Maybe at some cost to the provider, but I just found ScyllaDB and RedisLabs there, so it must be working for some.

Stephan Wolfram has a "walkabout" setup using a laptop. Might be worth googling.
The key enabler here is IAM and data (at rest and moving).

If we want to encourage free markets, the GDPR et al. need to be very careful to disincentivize "traffic within different parts of the same entity."

As is, if my regulatory compliance is satisfied through AWS's data and IAM handling, then if an Amazon-hosted service better integrates with those components, it strictly dominates competition.

That's a pretty unregulatable quality, and one easily optimized by Amazon (for itself), and impossibly by everyone else (on Amazon).

This weaponizes data protection regulation into a moat around large everything-and-the-kitchen-sink I/PaaS providers.

There needs to be balance between (a) protecting data & (b) ensuring a competitive ecosystem with multiple viable solutions.
Elasticsearch has to enforce their trademark otherwise they will lose it. This is crucial.

Preserving their trademark will forbid Amazon from advertising their service as elasticsearch which may
help them find and retain customers.

Elasticsearch should lobby for an antitrust investigation into AWS. Here the market is cloud computing is AWS. This is similar to antitrust in the mainframe market or the PC market etc... However, right now it's not clear what the antitrust remedy will be. In those markets things evolved, most recently from desktop PCs to cloud delivered web apps etc...

Beyond that Elastic needs to innovate or join up with someone bigger.

I think it'll be a good thing when people stop worrying about process node technology and start worrying about performance and power usage.

Intel's 14nm chips are already competitive with AMD's (TSMC's, really) 7nm chips. The i7-11700 or whatever the newest one coming out soon is called, is going to be pretty much exactly on parity with AMD's Ryzen 5000 series.

So if node shrinkage is such a dramatic increase in performance and power usage, then when Intel unfucks themselves and refines their 10nm node and 7nm node and whatever-node after that, they'll clearly be more performant than AMD... and Apple's M1.

Process technology is holding Intel back. They fix that, they get scary again.
I've only recently started using htop, and the last task I had to do in it was try to figure out a similar thread problem.

The default UI did not tell me if the threads had 'run amok'. There aren't enough lines on the display to tell whether a process with 10 threads on a normal day is now running 50.

So like you said, I had to turn off threads, then turn on the thread count column (which I never would have found without a search engine/stack overflow).

A lot of twitch viewers just like it for background noise where occasionally something interesting happens and they can have an exchange with the streamer or community before going back to what they were doing.

Another AWS apologist...
I haven't seen use case proposals where 5G replaces home WiFis. It's often referred to as replacing the last mile to your home (i.e., your home router would talk 4G/5G to the operator and create a WiFi in your home). Also, some "small cell" approaches use WiFi and only do the access management using the mobile network.

WiFi on the other hand doesn't have any approaches for wide coverage, cell handover, or any kind of IoT applications.

I'd expect that smaller manufacturers emerge, especially for niche use cases outside consumer mass-markets.

That is very definitely not how common law systems work. Common law systems rely very heavily on past precedent and case law, not merely the words in a statute.

Take the levels of scrutiny applied to laws and regulations in equal protection lawsuits, for example. Why is judicial review for racial discrimination covered under strict scrutiny, but sex discrimination only covered under intermediate scrutiny? There's no statute prescribing this—American courts invented it.

> Indeed. But Intel Xeon + Intel Ethernet integrates tightly and drops the Ethernet data directly into L3 cache (bypassing DRAM entirely).

This will be less of a problem on ARM servers as direct access to the LLC from a hardware master is a standard feature of ARM's "Dynamic Shared Unit" or DSU, which is the shared part of a cluster providing the LLC and coherency support. Connect a hardware function to the DSU ACP (accelerator coherency port) and the hardware can control, for all write accesses, whether to "stash" data into the LLC or even the L2 or L1 of a specific core. The hardware can also control allocate on miss vs not. So any high performance IP can benefit from it.

And if I understand correctly, the DSU is required with modern ARM cores. As most (besides Apple) tend to use ARM cores now, you have this in the package.

More details here in the DSU tech manual:
