No, I didn't make any claim really.

I was going to add a disclaimer to my post along the lines of "not saying I believe or disbelieve this theory", but I was tired of adding disclaimers to all my posts.

That's effectively a tax, outsourcing collection to insurance companies. I'm fine with that, too.
The Ingenuity drone also on Mars now uses a Snapdragon processor running Linux. This is not radiation hardened IIRC, but it reboots so fast that it is in control again before it hits the ground in case the computer borks due to radiation flipping bits in flight.

I'm not sure where I got the reboot thing from, I think HN in a thread after the Perseverance landing
Most of the long-running studies use the comparative manifesto project data, which tends to skew european but covers more than just hot-button issues. I think it includes Japan and Aus/NZ but not sure about the latter. See https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-9248.12015 for info on the range of questions people in the field think this data can answer.
There's something wrong with your PC because nobody will be able to reproduce this result.
I have the same problem, and also often people show up twice but only one bubble works (invariably the second one I try).

I tried to get stuff like that fixed, impossible when there’s 35 people who “share responsibility” and can point fingers instead of doing something. Imagine a code base and organization so complex that even fixing a bug takes political capital and months. Much less re-architecting to kill a whole class of bugs...

Steve Jobs woulda (metaphorically) broken their fingers off and fed ‘em to ‘em. Once the pointing can’t happen, useful stuff can happen!

Also, you’d be surprised how many SVPs and CEOs I’ve met in big tech that use IT support to setup and fix their devices. When I ran Dropcam, I insisted on using and operating our product only as a customer could. It’s a point of pride and a critical last-resort way to catch issues.
The link to the source code is in the middle of the article, jeez: https://github.com/superfly/flyctl/pull/368
Not to mention, I'd expect it's a difficult and long process to get their investment back.
The size of the community has likely grown significantly over the years, and with it a change in the demographic of your average commenter. What started as place for tech entrepreneurs, entrepreneur hopefuls, and technologists with some years under their belt has changed into something that is more representative of the young tech worker population as a whole. The earlier demographic likely had a strongly libertarian bent, whereas the current demographic likely has a strongly progressive bent.
de Tocqueville brought this to mind:

"Tyranny in democratic republics does not proceed in the same way, however. It ignores the body and goes straight for the soul. The master no longer says: You will think as I do or die. He says: You are free not to think as I do. You may keep your life, your property, and everything else. But from this day forth you shall be as a stranger among us. You will retain your civic privileges, but they will be of no use to you. For if you seek the votes of your fellow citizens, they will withhold them, and if you seek only their esteem, they will feign to refuse even that. You will remain among men, but you will forfeit your rights to humanity. When you approach your fellow creatures, they will shun you as one who is impure. And even those who believe in your innocence will abandon you, lest they, too, be shunned in turn. Go in peace, I will not take your life, but the life I leave you with is worse than death."
It's like saying that we ideally shouldn't have cars that can drive full speed into a wall, or at least that these cars shouldn't be the cars that most people use. And indeed modern cars will generally at least attempt to break before they hit a wall. It seems not too fanciful to think that in another 10 years we will have cars that can reliably prevent themselves from being driven into walls.

Our tech with regard to type and memory safety is more advanced than our car tech: we already have the tech to prevent these errors. And I believe we should be using it wherever possible. Obviously there will be exceptions (the more obvious being legacy codebases), but they should be exceptions.
Yes, it did in fact cost 500x more to buy, temporarily. Price is not determined by the cost of production but by supply and demand. Haven't you seen the extent of damage in Texas? What do you think people were willing to pay for electricity to not have this damage?

Otherwise you can have a command-and-control economy, like the Soviet Union had (I'm not being sarcastic). Then a person/group in charge would decide who gets the remaining supply, rather than the price-driven market.

Energy has always been a very delicate piece of engineering, sensitive to short term disruptions. Whether or not that energy is distributed via capitalist markets or not, whether it's electrical energy, gas or oil or whatever else.
Related; I've heard people say that some group can't be refugees because they arrived with a mobile phone in their pocket.

Yeah, that Huawei phone is all the protection you need from a roving paramilitary kill squad intent on murdering everyone in your village.

What about the other side, as a customer.

Would you rather fly on a plane where the pilot has such a ring and therefore guarantees that he's in good shape to fly?
And I presume there are many other places where a car has crashed that cars with advanced cruise control didn't crash.

> In general we look for a new law by the following process: first we guess it, then we compute the consequences of the guess... and then we compare those computation results to experiment. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn't make a difference how beautiful your guess is. It doesn't make a difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is. If it disagrees with experiment its wrong, that's all there is to it.

That elides a lot of complexity, mostly around the validity of the experiment design and execution. Confounding factors, confirmation bias, selection bias, p-hacking, etc. can all skew the results in ways both overt and subtle.

The following quote from the movie 'Thank you for smoking' may illustrate:

"This is where I work, the Academy of Tobacco Studies. It was established by seven gentlemen you may recognize from C-Span. These guys realized quick if they were gonna claim cigarettes were not addictive they better have proof. This is the man they rely on, Erhardt Von Grupten Mundt. They found him in Germany. I won't go into the details. He's been testing the link between nicotine and lung cancer for thirty years, and hasn't found any conclusive results. The man's a genius, he could disprove gravity."

So no, 'if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong' is a gross oversimplification.

Not to mention that there may be very good reasons that an experiment can't (or shouldn't) be done, or that various 'natural experiments' must be relied upon.
1Password is the best I've seen out of several alternatives. Works flawlessly on all devices, great syncing, great UI. Highly recommended, well worth its price. Easy enough to set up that I've helped a few relatives around age 80 to get it running.
We need user-centric data
Also worth mentioning that the Perseverance rover is mostly based on the Curiosity rover, launched 2011, for which development started in 2004 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Science_Laboratory#Histor...). If you consider that, the CPU doesn't sound that outdated anymore...
Both AWS and McDonald's are good examples, because we should have a policy that applies at all levels of dominance with no discontinuities. Just as in programming, special cases are (legal) code smells. If the policy can't cleanly handle industry segmentation, it's probably going to fail.

Sure, and I'm guessing I learned to read assembly this way from IDA Pro; I'd had to deal with assembly long before IDA was a thing, but I was never an especially able reader of other people's assembly.

But even today, like, when the eBPF verifier coughs on a hairball, I end up pulling assembly into Emacs and then doing a quick pass marking up the basic blocks before I try to read it.
They're entertaining to read, but I've never come away from one with any sort of understanding of the actual math and how I might use it. It would help if they at least defined the problem and the new theorem.
All the remote postings I tried have "Remote in North America only". Is there a "Europe Remote" filter?
It should be an HN thing to say. Unrestrained positivity is much more fun than kneejerk cynicism. :D
Which is more weight.

The single highest factor in all space design is cost per kg lifted. The only thing that is more costly - lifting it successfully and then having it break.
Exactly. Same as religion has been.
You are attempting humour of course, but leftists in the West have long since abandoned those goals - I wouldn't expect anything of that sort to trend on Twitter.
Not to discount the question, because it's still interesting, but most of SpaceX's hardware doesn't leave the ionosphere.

It seems a fair place to ask about it, IMO. I doubt they are expecting that only the OP will answer, there seems to be plenty of rust proponents on here.
HN comments on articles like this remind me of a fun t-shirt quote:

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. The ones who understand binary and the ones that do not.

You can obviously replace binary with bitcoin :). The ones who do not get bitcoin, will continue to not get bitcoin.
People are people. Take away any differences in appearances, beliefs, communities, etc. and people will still find reasons to divide up and seek to destroy the outsiders.
Looks cool.
How does this compare to kind?
Upvotes are not the only way of measuring the popularity of an issue, though they certainly are the easiest. The settings UI has had a _ridiculous_ number of issues filed asking for the same thing, while quake mode had much fewer. For whatever reason, people are more willing to upvote the existing quake mode issue, rather than file a new issue, compared to users asking for the settings UI. Perhaps there's some commentary on the type of users asking for those features that could be made based on their behavior.

Plus, I'm literally working on a [quake mode spec](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/9274). We're reviewing that next week. I've got a prototype.Quake mode required a lot more infrastructural work than the SUI, so it was my opinion that we might not be able to get to it this release cycle (i.e. 2.0). As it turns out, we're closer than I thought we would be.

We can make progress on lots of different things all at once - there is surprisingly, more than one dev on the team. The roadmap doc is not something that we update all that frequently. We've got better things to do - like work on features :)
I'm pretty sure humans mis-see and bump into stuff all the time.
No, but because it is afraid. Of dying, of being wrong and becoming irrelevant. We gotta work out those bugs.
I'm surprised it's Apple that's getting sued for this and not say, LG. In general Apple phones have much longer lifetime than most.
Agreed, let’s not!

What part of what Feynman said do you disagree with?
> Is this a good thing, or bad?

Neither. The proper question to ask: "is it the right tool for the job?" The answer here is yes. Power is a vetted architecture and has been used in critical processes for quite some time.

Just because something is old does not mean it is bad or some sort of burden.
We're talking launching stuff into space, every kg of extra weight is critical, particularly for scientific missions that are trying to do as much as possible. Also no amount of radiation shielding is going to make you perfectly shielded from cosmic rays.

It's actually a chronic problem with Voyagers 1/2. The teams that maintain them regularly experience weird, unplanned behavior because a cosmic ray bit-flipped some register or other, and then they have to manually figure out what erroneous command got executed and how to recover from it, and those are extremely simple systems compared to what's running on Perseverance.

So yeah, you need radiation hardened parts in space or you're just begging for a dead probe.
Yeah, it supports opencv models, so just take the numbers and feed them to opencv. Call cameramodel.intrinsics() to get at them: http://mrcal.secretsauce.net/mrcal-python-api-reference.html...

Thanks for linking the Grin article! Now you've sent me on a rabbit hole reading about different emission strategies and ideas. (I follow Beam development, so I love to read about both projects).

Doesn't the consistent emission of Grin depend upon the number of users and transactions also rising at the same consistent rate? Can we really count on that like we can count on the ticking of time?
Here me out. What if it was the only way to defund the US military? Would you be interested then? Why do we waste so much energy building killing machines? Why is there not a daily hackernews thread complaining about the energy consumption of the US military?

Because it’s a necessary to ensure you can buy and sell things when you want to.

Most of the companies you’re describing fold and fail miserably after just a few years. Only very, very, very, very, very few of them achieve any kind of significant funding or market success.

I hope people can mentally generalize this enthusiasm for user-mode wireguard in order to understand the value proposition of QUIC.
Yeah, you can just load the intrinsics values from a numpy array
There would also (by necessity) be a change in the centralized `go.mod` file (and `go.sum`) that corresponds to the addition of the new, almost-duplicate package being imported. Definitely spottable. Unless someone is using the deprecated GOPATH functionality, in which case things might be harder to spot. However, the author specifically pointed out how rare this attack seems to be in the Go ecosystem.

If the author identified malicious repos on user accounts that were created solely to make those malicious repos... it seems like something the author should have reported to GitHub. I wonder if GitHub would actually do anything, though.

When we buy genuine Xiaomi lightbulbs it’s definitely Xiaomi lightbulbs in the package, that’s not the argument.

The question is what happens at the purchase time, and afterwards. To bring back the coke you love, there’s Coca-Cola vending machine that will accept payment from a cell phone, linking with the vending machine through NFC.

What happens to you info when you download the app, what do they do with your purchase history ? Do your data stay in the ‘coke’ silo or move to all the other sister brands and partner marketing firms to infinity and beyond ? Do they scan the other apps on your phone to better profile you ? Do they lobby where you live to get rid of blocking rules when they track you buy less because of them ?

That’s the questions that would come with ‘buying a coke’
New Mysterianism
"New mysterianism—or commonly just mysterianism—is a philosophical position proposing that the hard problem of consciousness cannot be resolved by humans. The unresolvable problem is how to explain the existence of qualia (individual instances of subjective, conscious experience). In terms of the various schools of philosophy of mind, mysterianism is a form of nonreductive physicalism. Some 'mysterians' state their case uncompromisingly (Colin McGinn has said that consciousness is 'a mystery that human intelligence will never unravel'); others believe merely that consciousness is not within the grasp of present human understanding, but may be comprehensible to future advances of science and technology."
> if the junior or medior doesn't understand matrices, nothing I do will make them understand them.

Teaching them will.
For a rover it's not just lifting it, you have to put it back down once it gets to Mars. That's a 3-stage process with the aeroshell, parachute, and powered descent.

Heavier rover? You'll need more fuel for the skycrane's engines. And that fuel adds weight, so don't forget that you'll need more fuel to lift the extra fuel.

Now your rover and skycrane are bigger and heavier. Do you need a bigger parachute? Does everything still fit in the aeroshell? Is the fuel capacity for orienting and stabilizing the aeroshell still sufficient with the increased mass?
This is not how it works. Without the possibility to rent out or consolidate homeownership, the inflationary pressure on home prices collapses.

You create an insane level amount of supply for homeownership on this market. An absolutely insane level.

Indeed, the vast majority of increase in housing prices is because rents are so high that 7% YoY returns are possible. Without these returns, then there is no way to justify inflation in housing prices for simple homeowners.

If somehow millions of people do buy houses in Berlin, then you build public housing to undercut the price of housing.

The idea that your scenario will happen is not really rooted in fact. To me, it seems like a way to rationalize the principle that rent control must always fail - whereas in the real world it doesn't, see Vienna.

Homeownership in Berlin is very low, at 17% or so. The absolute majority of the housing market is based on renting out units. Before saturation of homeownership happens, a gulf remains.
I still want to know, are these using OpenFirmware? Is Forth on Mars or not? :)
While gaining popularity, JS + JSDoc is misguided and not a solution. The compiler is what is required to actually enforce standards within a team - otherwise what you have is a completely informal process.

I don't think type docs are useless - on the contrary, they are super helpful while migrating. But I think this trend is indicative of a different issue - what we are really seeing is more of a protest that JS needs native optional type support as soon as possible.
This is awesome, it always bothered me that if you wanted to calibrate a camera, 99.9999% of the websites or tutorials you search for is using OpenCV or Matlab...
Not having been previously familiar with fly's network setup, I gotta say I find it delightful; derived-prefix IPv6 + WG to give you basically static routing + ability to auth on IP is very elegant. I've actually been working on a toy stupid-simple clustering thing that does something similar, and I'm absolutely going to steal the userspace tcp stack over wireguard thing for API access.

The uncertainty is indicated though by the error in the position of each control point. If you have a decent selection of control points, then you have a sampling of the calibration error.

Agreed that its purpose is not to make a map. It is designed to handle the case where the camera is in the same position for every picture.

"You know we have a limited amount of green energy production right now, right?"

It makes no sense to talk about something being limited "right now". Limits are about the future.

Can't comment on the chrome plugin, but the firefox extension(passff) feels pretty much like a drop-in replacement for it's default password backup feature.

Ok thanks – this has been one of the rare things that some of those clients seem to care about (whether they're right or wrong, or rather, more conservative).

I had another question – this seems similar to what Hashicorp is doing with Boundary. Have you looked at Boundary and how this potentially compares with that, from an architecture standpoint? Of course there are parts of this that are bespoke to your infrastructure, but I'm just more curious from a nerdy-aspect of it because we're evaluating boundary as a replacement to our current setup (Wireguard bastion host), for all the other benefits like auth and logging.

It is well known that undefined behavior are not the only bugs happening in codebases like Chromium and Linux. So pointing to these projects doesn't magically make the bug different from other categories of bugs that plague all kinds of projects, even in other languages.

The major compilers already have ways to test for undefined behavior such as -fsanitize=undefined. Projects need to use these flags and test more.
I don't hear ANYONE making noises about "peak oil" any more.

As far as I'm aware, conventional oil production did in fact peak more than a decade ago. And while the Hubbert model failed to predict global oil production, in the absence of disruptions, it can work well (see eg Norway[1], or the lower-48 US states[2], where Hubbert's predictions made in '56 held true for 4 decades).

However, there's still unconventional oil[3] aplenty, hence the lack of panic. We should keep as much of it in the ground as we can.

I wanted to share a cool algorithm related to the time as consensus. My intention was not to shill a specific project.

I follow alternative consensus algorithms and trustless decentralized app tech in the blockchain space because I think it is interesting and democratizing tech. I do not own half of the coins I follow and couldn't care less for speculation. Technologically, cryptocurrency is still an exiting domain and scepticism is in place, but the blind hate for anything blockchain on HN is a bit OTT.
Back in the early '90s my dad and I used to say in a few decades we'd all have supercomputers on our desks. Now by those standards we do, and everything is still freakin slow. This is not the future we were dreaming about.
