I'm wondering, if someone sends me code to include in my project, how can I be sure they are the rightful copyright owners of that piece of code? Also what kind of legal liability it might put me in if I then publish that code as open source?
I think that might work better for adults, I'm not sure that the age group these are intended for really comprehends death. I think the ones where the kids are eaten, or taken away from their parents, sent away without dinner, or kept in a cage are more relatable. Even if the idea of being eaten doesn't really conjure the gory image of being torn apart by teeth, the idea of being stuck inside a bear or a witch's stomach, or not having a body part might be unpleasant enough.

I know when my son was young we told him that people smoking were poisoning their bodies, and after that he would get upset and teary eyed when people were smoking because they were hurting themselves.
That's not a limitation. There is absolutely no reason to have a Turing-complete language in bitcoin.

This can even be proved from first principles: bitcoin, and blockchains generally exist to validate the execution of contracts which have already occurred in meat-space. Basically you and I agree to conditions under which some money is transferred from me to you and vice-versa, which is the actual contract, then write a program (the "smart" contract) which validates that those rules were faithfully executed. It can be shown though that any Turing-complete contract rules can be validated using a non-Turing-complete language like Bitcoin script (ignoring runtime limits). The block chain doesn't need to run every contract, it just needs to validate that every contract ran correctly. A different problem, for which Turing completeness is not required.

Edit: For the down-voters, show me a Turing-complete contract that can't have its execution trace validated in a non-Turing complete language. In the 10 years I've been in this space I've yet to encounter a single one.
No, you need to think about what it means when all cars are electric. Current charging speeds lead to long queues at chargers like this:

https://www.thedrive.com/news/31274/more-teslas-on-the-road-...

No car on the road at the moment is capable of making full use of 350 kW CCS chargers (the Porsche Taycan comes closest at 270 kW). Ideally you'd want a flat charging curve at 350 kW to allow for more cars to be served by each charger.

If you had a flat charging curve at 350 kW it would take about 13 minutes to go from 0 to 80% state of charge on a 100 kWh battery. Still slower than fueling an ICE car and still not full battery capacity, but you should be able handle 4 cars per hour per charger.

Many users already get unlimited storage from Google for much less, but their new Workspace plans require an Enterprise account for unlimited storage which cost $20/mo. but it may require at least 5 users. So you're right, it would be $100/mo, but potentially less. I'm still on GSuite so it only cost me $12/mo.
> proving that you have done some known — or at least bounded — amount of work

Work for the sake of work is not valuable.

You could record video proving that you dug a hole 20 feet deep with your bare hands and then filled it up again.

That's a lot of work, but it wouldn't be valuable to anyone, except maybe as comedy.
I remember popping into r/WSB towards the end of the first wave of GME stuff and it seemed to be nothing more that what’s described on reddit as a “circlejerk”. It was also interesting to see a dozen different spin-offs when searching for it. Maybe it was like that before but everything felt forced and unnatural as if the new users were attempting to “fit in” by imitating the culture and vocabulary.

If you can charge at home overnight (or at work during the day) then you won't need to go anywhere else.

Performance for my workload (writes/reads for a relatively small number of large documents) was absolutely atrocious.

To the point that retrieving data based on a secondary index (of like 10000 documents) took like 5s.

Then inserting the same documents took a significant (don’t remember the exact magnitude) amount of time as well.

By comparison mysql does the same stuff in 50ms (or less).

Everything around RethinkDB was fantastic, but I just couldn’t justify that since the basic operation was so terrible.
Ok yes, that’s the definition of a probability measure. But I was talking about the concept of probability, in the world, contrasting with the “objectively defined via frequency in related trials”, which is something people sometimes claim. I misunderstood and thought that was the claim you were making.

Ok.

I would think that, if we have a continuous distribution, then the score should be the probability density of what is observed?

If you say beforehand “I think x will happen”, and I respond “I assign probability 1 that x will not happen”, and then x happens, then I’ve really messed up big time. I’ve messed up to a degree that should never happen.

(And, only countably many events can be described using finite descriptions, and a positive probability could, in principle, be assigned to each, while having the total probability still be 1, so that nothing that can possibly be specified happens while being assigned a probability of 0. Though this isn’t really computable..)

As a more practical thing, if I assign probability 0 to an event which you could describe in a few sentences in under 5 lines (regardless of whether you actually have described it), and it happens, then I’ve really messed up quite terribly, and this should never happen (outside of just, because I made an arithmetic error or something.)
Your argument lacks nuance. It comes across as though you are unwilling to accept that we can learn from the mistakes of the past and be more careful this time, because with that attitude you don't have to engage with the specifics of a proposal. It really seems like pointless fearmongering, especially after the article already addressed some of the specific concerns about what might go wrong with introducing GMO chestnuts into the wild. Reminding people of the general concern that making significant changes to a whole ecosystem can have unforeseen consequences doesn't add anything to that conversation.

Absolutely. I've gone through periods where simply opening my laptop would almost invariably result in what I can only describe as a low-grade panic attack. If that's not PTSD, I don't know what is.

I've been taking a break for most of the last 6 months, and am only just starting to get back to 'normal'. I'm not at all convinced that I'll ever fully get back to where I was pre-burnout, but at least I can check my email again without provoking a fight or flight response.

If you have the financial resources to do so, I strongly recommend you take some time off - be away from all technology and spend time in nature if at all possible. Focus on sleeping well, eating well, and exercise.

Trying to power through what you're feeling might seem heroic, but you could end up doing lasting damage to yourself.

It's very easy to point the finger at the conservative party as the one who's screwed it all up, but the other parties are not really putting forward models for successful healthcare systems.

I wouldn't say the Republicans are fully responsible for the state of things, but they can't seem to agree within the party on a basic concept. I recall John Boehner saying he laughed at Republican promises to swiftly repeal the Affordable Care Act, commenting "Republicans never ever agree on health care". And, well, he was proven right.

If you can't unite your party on a big fix, then the only thing you can pass is some sort of limited fix, which tends to just add more complexity to the whole thing over time.

>>>"There’s however one limitation – my vias are soldered through-hole wires." Why is this a limitation?

Anytime I lifted a trace or needed to repair a via, I just coiled up a 24-26 Awg single strand wire and stuffed it in the hole. This usually left enough room for the pin and also wicked the solder through.

My biggest issue with DIY boards is drilling the holes and in particular getting the bit in the center of the pad. This is such a pain, I now just use pre-drilled protoboards and hookup wire on one-off or prototypes.
If my memory is correct: yes, the root cause was a missing bounds check, but the vulnerability was much worse than it could have been because OpenSSL tended to allocate small blocks of memory and aggressively reuse them — meaning the exploited buffer was very likely to be close in proximity to sensitive information.

I don’t have time right now to research the full details, but the Wikipedia article gives a clue:

> Theo de Raadt, founder and leader of the OpenBSD and OpenSSH projects, has criticized the OpenSSL developers for writing their own memory management routines and thereby, he claims, circumventing OpenBSD C standard library exploit countermeasures, saying "OpenSSL is not developed by a responsible team." Following Heartbleed's disclosure, members of the OpenBSD project forked OpenSSL into LibreSSL.

Exactly. Texting gives control to the receiver on how and when to respond. Calling takes away that control.

I wish voice messages were more common though. In iMessage you could simply place your phone near your ear and start talking to send a voice message. I don’t see many people use that or even aware of that.
Parallelism and asynchronous code are not the same, and in the case of Rust they are very much not the same. Parallel for provides massive advantages for many things including game programming (from experience) so with all due respect I think this says more about Jonathan Blow than it does anything about "parallelism still needing to prove itself."
I generally agree with this. But Ethereum is "less finished" than Bitcoin. I feel like this situation might be different in a year or two once ETH2 is fully rolled out. Right now, ETH is a bit more risky. There's no doubt that more economic activity is happening on the ETH chain, though

This is similar to my experience too. If people can write out a single Python function and apply it to all of a large amount of data then great, but that isn’t the majority of supercomputing programming.

For me, the twenty-somethings are terrible about this. They are just absolutely allergic to voice communication.
More like all dev tools that I can buy as an individual are easy to pay for.

I’d only go through that if the difference in quality was so palpable that I basically had no choice.
> you should be able handle 4 cars per hour per charger.

It's still abysmally slow.
So cars ARE designed for robots. Really.

Thing is, they're designed for assembly.

They're made on an assembly line, put together layer by layer with the inner parts going in first and outer parts later.

I remember reading about one assembly line where it was designed so the engine came into the car from underneath.

For example, I had to get in the trunk of my car once to replace a tail light. I had to remove a panel, and it had a fastener that looked like a christmas tree. It was really hard to get the panel off, but when I was done, just position it and push and it goes click click right into place.

So I think they're optimizing for a car that assembles quickly and cheaply, and is reliable enough so it doesn't have to come apart.

"reliable enough" might change with electric cars though, because it's looking like they will have a fraction of the moving parts and may last 5x or more what an ICE car will last.

If YOU will take them apart, get an old car. They less reliable so they were designed for people to work on them. Get one of those. Better yet, an old pre-electronics tractor. They were designed for farmers to work on with a small assortment of parts.

Or get a Humvee. The first one, the H1. They were designed to be taken apart and fixed in the field, with a small assortment of tools and lives depended on this capability.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a typehead. But, how does a commercial font end up on the first page of HN?
I don't think most people would consider only charging at home an advantage or "convenience". If you even need to go to a charging station once and spend a half hour to an hour there, that becomes very inconvenient, even if you only need to do that once a month.

Most people would like to have a charging station always nearby so that it becomes stateless for them, so that they don't need to think about how much they drove that day, and they want the charging to happen within a minute or so to view it as equally convenient as gas.

PEV have many advantages, but let's be realistic -- the convenience of charging is a disadvantage.
There is not a meaningful semantic difference between what you're describing and what tools like rayon provide (and BTW, threads do just fine when pinned to a core and appropriately managed as they should be in large data processing workloads). Whether threads are used on the backend is largely a distraction, you still have to write things roughly the same way to create correct code (for example, you cannot share memory between tasks on different cores, or on different nodes, without synchronizing somehow).

Specific criteria set out by the DSM, the most recent version of which is essentially a checklist of symptoms for doctors to classify mental health on behalf of insurance companies for billing and labeling purposes. As a layperson, undiagnosed and untreated for any 'mental illness', and in my personal opinion, every new edition of this 'psychologists bible' demonstrates to me the entire point is quickly getting lost, and serves a different master than the wellbeing of patients. Its confirmation bias for my decision to go into technology rather than psychology, so take this with a grain of salt.

Would you agree that attacking Eth2's consensus requires a certain percentage [1] of total voting power? If so, then by extension, it requires a certain (somewhat different) percentage of the total Eth supply.

> The exchange rate from USD to ETH is irrelevant.

Unless the attacker already has a large enough portion of the Eth supply to execute an attack, they'll have to pay to acquire it.

[1] 1/3 voting power would theoretically let an attacker double spend by getting two conflicting forks committed; 2/3 would let them commit invalid and/or unavailable state.
Happy to elaborate more for you. I work on the health tech side, so we’re integrating with legacy systems. I’d say there isn’t any standard for the actual mechanics of how the data is interchanged, but usually organizations adopt the HL7 standard for payloads. Most of our integrations look like “we’ll send you this HL7 payload, then we’ll periodically check this folder for any HL7 payloads to stick into the patient record”. If you want an analogy, think of any vehicle that human lives are dependent on, held together by duct tape. :)

I will say there are EMRs like Athena Health which actually build for the developer experience. Integrating with Athena is relatively easy, and you can scale up the integration across customers easily. Epic (the market leader) is much harder and more expensive to do this for, since every distribution usually has some customization.

> purpose-built scheduler + native coroutines

"Threads" are nothing but kernel-mode coroutines with purpose-built schedulers in the kernel.

Redoing the same machinery except in usermode is not the way to get performance.

The problem is that scripting languages don't let you access the kernel API's cleanly due to various braindead design decisions - global locks in the garbage collector, etc.

But the solution isn't to rewrite the kernel in every scripting language, the solution is to learn to make scripting languages that aren't braindead.
American tastes aren't totally different from Chinese tastes, but neither are they precisely the same. Very few products could be created in one place and then profitably sold on the other side of the globe without some input from local marketers. If the end consumer is to be spared a McCarthyist show trial, what about the distributor? What about the importer?

Besides, this is silly. Firms operating in China obey Chinese laws for the same reasons that firms operating in USA obey USA laws. If they didn't operate in accordance with local custom, they would not continue to operate. Presumably many manufacturers in China (or USA) could have had a "Are we the baddies?" moment, but if so they are now necessarily no longer manufacturers in China (or USA).

Your fear and distrust of the Chinese government is perfectly rational. Even more rational would be to fear and distrust USA government just as much.

Oracles are always going to be less decentralized than a distributed blockchain VM. Chainlink's (oracle platform) approach to this is to have oracle nodes post a bond that can get slashed if the computation is deemed invalid. But most Chainlink oracles have 21 or fewer nodes. This is fine for supplemental data but would be vulnerable to all the same attacks that DPOS chains have suffered if used as base layer consensus.
