Very interesting research!

A particular use case that's implied by the features is the ability to analyze errors that you would make as opposed to the exact errors that you made; as the personalized "Maia-transfer" model seems to have an ability predict the specific blunders that the targeted player is likely to make, those scenarios can be automatically generated (by having Maia play against Stockfish many times) and presented as personalized training exercises to improve the specific weak spots that you have.
Do read the paper. (Click "PAPER" in the top menu.) I found it very interesting.
Yep, it was great. I used it regularly to give presentations, and many people were curious about the remote (where it came from, was it included, etc...).
Yeah, agreed. Especially when they try to "save costs" by spreading itself over several AWS services ensured they're locked in the most to the ecosystem.

Though yes EC2 is not the cheapest but if you're using "only that" (or maybe S3/R53, etc) and being cheap I can accept you're being frugal.
A Fairness Doctrine would require mainstream media to present QAnon's side of things equally with anti-QAnon. This doesn't help the QAnon folks, since they're still mad they're being censored (that's part of the thing, they're always censored, and there's a thousand videos they can show you to prove it). And it exposes people who otherwise wouldn't be to their views, as if they were accepted. I don't anticipate a fairness doctrine making people less prone to conspiracy -- it worked in 1987 because TV was the main source of news, but most "news" is not on TV or in print, it's on YouTube.
Just like everything Trump said, words didn't matter until they did. But the real world actions wouldn't have happened without the words. Of course words matter. Including yours.

I feel the same about Apple laptops not having a TrackPoint which is why they need to compensate with a good trackpad. ;)

But seriously, I think the larger advantage I see of touchscreens on Windows devices and potentially future MacBooks is pen support (with pressure-sensitivity) and a 360° foldable display so you can write on it for taking notes or annotating documents. Apple has already started down this road with the iPad and Pencil, so I think it's conceivable to see a full convergence at some point.
Isn’t every startup, every service, every open source library an argumentum ad populum? Especially network goods like messaging services.

I don’t doubt there’s a lot of value in federated decentralized services, but there’s also a lot of value in confusion/configuration-free usability.

Thanks to comments endorsing matrix here, I will be installing it to try, but what Signal gets right is that it pretty much Just Works, and that’s the point GP is making. Frictionless UX coupled with cryptographic excellence make it compelling for lay people, and if it’s between Signal or nothing for the majority of nontechnical folk, then they’re better off using Signal.
I agree that Elixir macros are far easier to understand than Ruby macros since they are defined at compile time rather than runtime.

But I am against reaching for macros when the same can be accomplished using the basics: modules, functions, structs. I've seen various instances where a macro doesn't add much expressiveness over the plain old functional approach.

Granted there are many areas where macros are very powerful. Ecto is a perfect example of when macros make sense. Adds a lot of expressiveness to build queries which is worth the cost of macros.

Also should note that I love Elixir. We are using it in production to power all of our backend systems :)
It works by detecting the HTTP Referer header. Under certain circumstances of privacy, Firefox strips the header. For example: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2018/01/31/preventing-data...

It is plainly obvious why Google's browser might not want to do something like that.
Could you provide a source for this? I am unaware of this reading.
With a really small USB-C memory stick that fits completely in the hole.
I have to wonder if that design came about because Apple didn’t want people to leave the mouse plugged in all the time. It’s the kind of reasoned institutional blunder that I feel like I encounter in my work life fairly often out of momentum and groupthink.
> how do I verify which system is used, and switch to the former in a few words?

Check whether you are using pre-boot authentication. BitLocker offers true encryption only if pre-boot authentication is used. Here's a tutorial: https://www.howtogeek.com/262720/how-to-enable-a-pre-boot-bi... More information on BitLocker's implementation details and its threat model can be found in Microsoft's documentation [0].

> On computers with a compatible TPM, operating system drives that are BitLocker-protected can be unlocked in four ways:

> TPM-only. Using TPM-only validation does not require any interaction with the user to unlock and provide access to the drive. If the TPM validation succeeds, the user sign in experience is the same as a standard logon.

> TPM with startup key. In addition to the protection that the TPM-only provides, part of the encryption key is stored on a USB flash drive, referred to as a startup key. Data on the encrypted volume cannot be accessed without the startup key.

> TPM with PIN. In addition to the protection that the TPM provides, BitLocker requires that the user enter a PIN. Data on the encrypted volume cannot be accessed without entering the PIN.

> TPM with startup key and PIN. In addition to the core component protection that the TPM-only provides, part of the encryption key is stored on a USB flash drive, and a PIN is required to authenticate the user to the TPM.

TPM-only is the default option, it's better than no security, but arguably insecure (depending on your threat model). TPM with PIN or startup key offers true encryption, they are not vulnerable to this category of attacks. But clearly, using a user-supplied key or PIN has its own disadvantage (which is why TPM-only mode was invented in the first place).

> On the other hand, Pre-boot authentication prompts can be inconvenient to users. In addition, users who forget their PIN or lose their startup key are denied access to their data until they can contact their organization’s support team to obtain a recovery key. Pre-boot authentication can also make it more difficult to update unattended desktops and remotely administered servers because a PIN needs to be entered when a computer reboots or resumes from hibernation.

Yes: skilled labor. This is not a novel problem. Other companies create internal training pipelines and pay higher wages to attract those sorts of employees, when they're critical to business success.
I've already unticked all the Re-lock settings, and it still locks for me every time I launch it from the home screen/app drawer.

I tried also on another phone, and same thing.
The start is long before QAnon. Birtherism, Tea Party, Limbaugh and Hannity. Many things led here.
I'm not primarily a Web developer but have a small Saas built with Ember.

I previously had a webapp built in Django, and just couldn't grok it. I made it work but always felt like I was fighting it. I tried Flask, but you have to build absolutely everything yourself.

I have a tiny team (2 devs) and hate spending time building and maintaining cookie cutter functionality like sign in flows, teams, etc.

Here in NL I heard a Dutch/US citizen commenting on the election, on national radio: she was glad that Biden won, but still, 70 million people voted for Trump, and ... 'we have got to do something with these people'.

If a 'non progressive' would have said this on national radio, he/she would be accused of inciting a holocaust.

She was not asked to explain herself.
Of course it happens here too but US companies are liable to US laws and civil penalties. Good luck filing a lawsuit in the US against a company in China. I'm sure the courts in China will make your US class action lawsuit their top priority.
I would suggest that being able to use Gemini is different.

It is probably better to think of Gemini in terms of books than technology, with Gemini being more aligned with novels. You don't have to be an avid reader to enjoy a novel, just as you don't have to be a graphics designer to become a novelist. The austere presentation may not appeal to some, yet it has relatively little to do with what can be contained within the pages or who can access it.

I would also argue that Gemini is very usable from the reader's point of view. Suggesting otherwise says more about technical literacy than anything else. GUI clients are available for the major platforms and are straightforward to install on Macintosh and Windows, so the only real barrier to entry is being able to install one's own software.
If you have auto-unlock on your system disk, then by the time you get to the login prompt the key from TPM was already read and used to decrypt your disk. Any sort of auto-unlock is inherently less secure.
Didn't they win the billion dollar lawsuit when Samsung copied iOS almost as blatantly as this?
30-plus years of social priming sure helps. You can peg this to Newt, or Goldwater in 64, if you want to go back a step, but at some point in the postwar 20th century the republican party decided to court insanity for votes, and now the inmates are running the asylum.

For the moral indignation claims of Q, you can go back much further, if you like. QAnon is a thinly covered and warmed over blood libel, and we’ve had that particular bit of malign story with us since ... at least Carthage? Probably a lot longer. So it’s an idea that has a very long history of being one that is very good at worming its way into brains and staying there.
>> "An example of this is the behavior of service personnel in the US compared to my native country, every time I go there I almost want to tell them to tone down the niceness, but of course there's no point because I realize I'm the odd one out."

This is usually mandated somewhere up the chain. They don't have a choice if they want to keep their jobs.
Because the GOP thought it was a good idea to appeal to different groups of nutjobs to build their base of political support.
They thought the nutjobs were easily controllable and they are right. They did not realize that somebody else other than them could take control of the nutjobs. And to be fair to them, before the internet it would have not be possible to do that. But now in the 21st century, everyone can appeal to nutjobs and start a cult over the internet.
Please provide proof of this statement. Do you have a video source?
> A second factor allows a site to better authenticate you. It does not help you identify the site.

That's correct. On the first visit (or enrolment).

All subsequent visits (many more!) do identify the site, or rather they tell you that you're logging in to the same site as all those times before.
I read as "fragility", also an essential characteristic of seed stage ;)
Windows is much more different from iOS than this. So is KDE, ChromeOS etc. Even Android is. This is a straight copy, why pretend otherwise?
When people stop saying tropes like big tech are “private companies” and “actions have consequences” every time someone from the wrong political ideology gets deplatformed I’ll take this bitching and moaning slightly more seriously. This says nothing about the comically dysfunctional state of our insanely biased media, of which Kara herself and her brazenly political agenda is a symptom of.

Honestly I've never understood why laptops are so strongly associated with developer culture.

They are inefficient and conflated machines - two things that tend to be contradictory with software engineering.

More practically, many people find themselves completely dependent on Apple's design whims.

Mac Pros (or server racks in general) are closer to the kinds of machines that we deploy to (they use Xeons for one thing). They don't overheat so easily.

Their 'sea of cores' approach enables more productive workflows and tooling.

And one gets to use his favorite peripherals, in an ergonomic position (instead of slouching around a laptop).

The Fairness Doctrine was somewhat justifiable for broadcast TV because spectrum limits only allowed for a small number of channels. But with cable TV and the Internet that limit no longer applies.
If they remove USB-C charging they won't be compliant with the spec anymore which means they can't use the USB logo in their marketing materials
Even a non-ferrous metal can interfere with electromagnetic fields (try dropping a cylindrical neodymium magnet down a copper tube if you don't believe me). There exist some wireless charging methods that aren't affected by metallic enclosures, but that's not true for all wireless charging in general.

Your thesis is the sound of one hand clapping.

It's one thing for the elites to disdain Trump. It's quite another for them to do so without saying precisely why, and declining to offer a coherent alternative.
Sometimes distance helps you see things more clearly.

I had the same thought. It’s amazing how the Democrats and the MSM suddenly started moving in lock step.

I guess it’s like the old saying “make hay when the sun is shining”.

It really depends on the costs. If your cost scales with your users/usage, then reducing those costs is even more worthwhile. A 20% decrease in cost is 20% more revenue now and forever. And many of those reductions are easier to make now than when you're fully scaled up.

The trade-off isn't between increased phishing vs. increased false positives. It's being able to get a human on the phone vs Google's profit margins. Break them up already.
It's a great "mind-bown" insight story, but just not true. People do judge each other and have opinions and put them in little mental boxes all the time. Impressions matter and can make or break your life. For example, anyone who used to be fat and then loses weight can attest that it matters what others think of you and they do think things. It's comfortable and uplifting and "wise" to say that nobody cares but they do. People assess their relative status and success all the time by comparing with others.

Now this doesn't mean you have to go crazy trying to satisfy everyone because you can't. People want contradictory things from you. You need to have your own moral or other principles to keep on track of a certain path in the face of rejection. But if everyone thinks you're an asshole, the answer isn't to just ignore everyone.

I think a better lesson is that it's better to have some haters and some who really like you than to have everyone be lukewarm about you and ignore you. The haters are no big issue unless they are really determined enemies, and the upside of the truly appreciative people is bigger. You can only get true deep connections if you accept the risk that some people won't like you. As long as you try to please everyone you won't really please anyone. See the story of the miller and his son.

Wait a second, this doesn't sound right. According to your wikipedia link, the "Seven Sisters" constellation actually has 9 stars (named after the 7 sisters + parents). They are all visible with the naked eye.
I could see mini nuclear reactors working out cheaper for power generation than factory scale ones.

Sure, nuclear is far more efficient at scale from a physics and engineering perspective, but this is probably outweighed by the political costs of spending billions of dollars to relearn how to build nuclear facilities.

If on the other hand we can make container scale reactors and just truck them into places, we can deploy power anywhere with very little political cost.

You’re downvoted but you have a point. We listen to the talking heads all day but action often has a bigger effect. And that’s not just Trump supporters but also BLM.
Lex Fridman is a guy who talks about being open minded and humble then proceeds to block everyone that doesn't share the same set of opinions. Seems only capable of asking the same set of questions as well.
I assume you mean the weapons of mass destruction, capable of reaching the capitals of Europe?

Because that has been the most disruptive conspiracy of this century so far.
After having built a Ryzen Mini ITX setup about a month ago, I have to totally agree. Soooo smooth.
I've only listened to a dozen or so episodes, mostly non-AI related, but I can't really get a grasp on wether Friedman remembers any undergraduate level CS (or more advanced software engineering for that matter).

Maybe it's just a schtick to make it more approachable for "non-HN" listeners, but in the episode with Jim Keller it almost became painful. After all Friedman has a PhD in Computer Science, I would have expected more knowledge in some areas.
NVIDIA provides drivers for FreeBSD, like they do for Linux.

The NVIDIA drivers work fine for graphics applications.

Nevertheless NVIDIA CUDA is available only for Linux, so NVIDIA GPU compute applications do not work directly, but maybe only using the Linux compatibility layer (I have not tried that).
You don’t think it happens with books? My dad has a house full of books. He isn’t a talk radio guy and doesn’t do the Facebook that the kids are into these days.

Instead if you look closely at his library you will find plenty of titles by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Michael Savage, Bill Bennett, and on and on. It’s a small percentage of what he reads, but it’s how he gets his ideology and has been for 20+ years.
Relax, we have everything under control, like usual.

As boogies states, this is the crux of what I was trying to get at re: tooling. Considering Cyberpunk 2077 as a massive non-linear narrative. What does the graph tying it all together look like? With hundreds of designers adding their contribution. How do you reason about the whole? Even basic algorithms such as "can I reach this node from every other node"?
One example might be audio captchas. They're needed, of course, but it means there's two avenues open to attackers now.

Ask HN: How do you visit museums?
I don't think anyone really learns how to visit a museum, but everyone seems to have their own method/style -- especially for large art museums.

I'm curious about things like:
Do you take notes or photos to remember what you liked? Do you explore thoroughly or just focus on a few pieces? Do you use a guide? Do you look up interesting pieces on the Internet to learn more, or do you just pass by?
I have yet to see a single news outlet cite a single thing Trump said that unambiguously “incited violence.” As usual, some media outlet conjured it and put it in print, it went viral, and voila the narrative was born to live forever, unable to be challenged. Even the Twitter ban had to use all sorts of stupid and squishy language for their justification. Meanwhile, the Washington Post (just to pick one of countless examples) ran a huge story in 2019 (!!!) with an interview with Hillary Clinton on how she claimed the election was stolen via Russian “interference”. Thank god three years of that wasnt incitement. For centrists like myself, watching this devolve and lose any sense of true objectivity is depressing.

I hate to break it to you but Apple’s marketing materials don’t rely on the USB logo to do a lot of heavy lifting.
My suggestion was one of the convenient tips of the proverbial iceberg in the world of backups and redundancies. Today, I'd be astonished if one lost their devices and loses any data along with it.

Personally, all my devices are endpoints or tools. For instance, if I lost my phone, it will take me a few hours or a day/two at best to get back to where I was. The same goes for my other devices (desktops, laptops).

In the most critical situation, say, I lost my phone while traveling, but lucky my wife's phone is in-tact, I can pick up hers and go through my contacts (we sync our contacts two ways). I can then login to anything anywhere by getting to her Password Manager, which fortunately has a copy of mine. I might need to ask her to authenticate it for me.

I strongly feel that one should have a pattern and system of redundancies and be independent of the devices one uses. I'm still discovering and learning a lot; not yet the best, but I'm happy I started quite a while back.
I disagree. It's better to let them do shady shit and get caught and never trust them again.
