I worked at Ubiquiti while you were there. I can confirm that the company was going downhill fast.

The US offices were starting to feel empty because so many people were leaving the company. Only place I've ever worked where engineers would quit before they got another job.

Saddest part was all the wasted potential. There were good engineers making good products at Ubiquiti only a few years ago. Once UniFi exploded in popularity the CEO started trying to micromanage everything and it all started falling apart.
Then use the lightning network, it's really what should be used for smaller payments like this anyways. You don't pay for coffee with a wire transfer, for the same reason you shouldn't be using layer 1 for small everyday purchases like this.
AI is more art than science, but still requires experience. We all know the same happens with SW engineering in general, otherwise we all know how spectacular failures can be, regardless of how much domain knowledge do you have.

Unsurprisingly extraordinary results in AI require extraordinary commitment. It may or may not make sense from a business perspective.
> which is now being handled by Intel.

I don't think the DoD is willing to put all of it's eggs in that one basket that hasn't been performing lately. Particularly when the DoD sees massive amounts of edge inference being a key weapons component going forward and they need newer nodes than 14nm+++++++.

Hard to blame them.
I wouldn't say it's off topic. I've been thinking about this, because I do agree with you that I likely underestimate his contributions. I wasn't following the movement back then, and only know of his reputation. (I was probably too young.)

But I also don't feel like this moves me at all, and I think that's because his past contributions aren't being erased here. What matters is the person he is now, how that doesn't fit this role they're assigning to him, and how it doesn't align with what the free software movement has become (pushing diversification).
I don't know about you, but I "automate the old-fashioned way" at my day job, I want the damned thing to just work without me bothering with "SSH access and CLI tools" at home.
Yeah, I've always used airplane mode as well and it's been fine.
It can be done in a bit less adversarial and nicer way than making them deal with an annoyance of "troubleshooting" their desktop. Which, I found, makes things much easier and more frictionless.

In my old office, we had this team "tradition" that was supposed to encourage people to lock their desktops. If they left their office for whatever reason and left their desktop unlocked, anyone from the team jumps up to the machine. Then they send an email to the rest of the team on behalf of the person who left their desktop unlocked, saying that they are bringing cookies to share with the team tomorrow.

It worked out well for quite a few years, with people being more mindful about locking their machines. And their "punishment" for not doing so was just sharing cookies with the rest of the team the day after and hearing a couple of jokes about the situation. Overall, very positive experience, no one got upset about anything, because their machines themselves weren't screwed with, their work productivity wasn't lost due to it, and everyone shared a moment and baked goods.
Depends what you're into. I basically only use Clojure and can't remember the last time I had to know anything about Java. Admittedly I mostly use Clojurescript...

But seriously, I wouldn't worry. You'll have to install Java, and then you won't have to think about Java ever again if you don't want to.

> Manual counting (with randomly picked volunteers) is the only solution that guarantees trust in the process.

This is naive. The Georgia Presidential election was hand-recounted, twice. The loser still claims it was stolen, incited an insurrection that sacked the Capitol while Congress was certifying the winner.

When one party is solely dedicated to power, not democracy, none of your ideals or safeguards mean anything. They just don't care what anyone thinks as long as they can hold power.
I'm sorry if I broke some unwritten rules.

HN was a natural choice because of the knowledgeable community. This question has both a tech and business/logistic aspect to it, so I felt it was not too far off topic.
I use the edgerouter line for firewalls, and unifi (running on a local "cloud key", with cloud login turned off) for only access-points and some switches.

This news (covering up, legal overriding good security practices) is super concerning though, and I'm definitely going to start looking around as well.
Oh dear lord yes. Autoreload is my saviour in many respects.

I suppose that I come at this from R, where REPL (sortof) driven programming/analysis is a core feature, and until I discovered %autoreload I was feeling very left out in Python.

I guess I sortof understand why it is that way, but it definitely struck me as weird that one wouldn't allow code to be reloaded into a process buffer.
> A similar plot could made us conclude (wrongly) that the corn is getting much bigger in the last 1000 years "by climate change", instead because people selected more modern varieties of corn.

Surely this conclusion would only make sense if we believed that relevant climatic changes were occurring over the same time frame as the changes in size.

In the case of the cherry trees, the shift in the full-flowering date corresponds very well with the shift in the local temperature record (also provided at [0]), lending credence to that being the explanatory factor. Other factors are, of course, possibly relevant, but I don't think that the link is as weakly founded as your counter-example suggests.

Musk himself said the cost was <1M$ in 2019:
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1179107539352313856

And in the next tweet, he mentions his concern is about "secondary structure", which I take it to mean all the infrastructure that you would need to build and operate to make that rocket fly.
Configuring Scalable Alertmanager
I don't think I know of a single thing where there are fewer ways of doing something in Go than there are in Java.

There are multiple ways to declare a variable, to pass a value to a function, to declare a constant, to create something similar to an enum, to return errors, to check for errors, to handle closing, to synchronize parallel threads of execution, to initialize a struct, to create a list of items. I can probably go on.

What are some examples where Go is simpler than Java, other than its current lack of generics which has always been a known-limitation?
Nice.
OpenJDK has managed a breakthrough with their hardware agnostic Vector API (the first of its kind?) so that every SIMD algorithm coded with it will work equally well on ARM (and also can target at runtime the best vector width if available)

I have been running Courier (for imap) for years, quite happy with it. I usually run it together with postfix for SMTP. and use virtual accounts with courier's authdaemon.

Funny to see this on the frontpage for the first time
I'll let you in on a little secret, Ubiquity runs openwrt as can be seen by sshing into any uaps
For those who don't know, this is a reference to the movie WarGames (1983).
No the pronunciation would be similar (english V, not F) between German and English for Voltswagen. That's part of the joke.
Can it be arrangeable according to Penrose tiling?
An intentionally false statement from an authority on a current event of extreme importance, no matter how noble, is extremely counterproductive, even if we leave aside moral aspects. Indeed, it will cause further statements from the authority be perceived by the public as another potential lie. Since this seems very obvious to me, I can not believe it was a "white lie".
It's odd how the big cloud vendors have been able to escape criticism for being completely open by default. Other vendors have been taken to task and have adopted better security practices. For example, SuperMicro IPMI comes with a random password now.

It's extremely difficult to lock down an AWS account when there are a bajillion services, IAM policies, roles, etc.. I've been trying for the last few days and it's so difficult that I can understand things like this. I don't think it's acceptable, but I can see how it happens.

I think the expectation for AWS, Azure, GCP, etc. needs to change. Accounts should allow nothing by default and part of the tutorial / learning process should be understanding the permissions needed for each service and how to limit access to those services. As a bonus, they should show you how to configure Budget Actions to catch anomalies and runaway services. For example, I'm trying to set up my account so SMTP access to SES gets revoked for SMTP users if the message count exceeds a certain threshold. It's really, really hard because there's not a single document / guide that shows the process from start to finish.
Just came across this story. It was written several years ago, but remains pretty poignant. The article is long and biographical, difficult to summarize, but worth reading for a glimpse at some of the early brilliant AI researchers. If you don’t have time or inclination for the full article, I recommend this segment at the beginning, in which he corrected Bertrand Russell as a 12-year-old:

he wandered through the stacks of books until he came across Principia Mathematica, a three-volume tome written by Bertrand Russell and Alfred Whitehead between 1910 and 1913, which attempted to reduce all of mathematics to pure logic. Pitts sat down and began to read. For three days he remained in the library until he had read each volume cover to cover—nearly 2,000 pages in all—and had identified several mistakes. Deciding that Bertrand Russell himself needed to know about these, the boy drafted a letter to Russell detailing the errors. Not only did Russell write back, he was so impressed that he invited Pitts to study with him as a graduate student at Cambridge University in England. Pitts couldn’t oblige him, though—he was only 12 years old. But three years later, when he heard that Russell would be visiting the University of Chicago, the 15-year-old ran away from home and headed for Illinois. He never saw his family again.
How do you know? Do you have any evidence that that’s the underlying motivation for all of their recommendations?

For at least one recommendation, the Food Pyramid, many allege the influence of lobbying groups played a role. Do you dispute their claims?

I’m wondering because I’ve been noticing a trend that I’ve read happened towards the end of the USSR: as the rulemakers made ever more nonsensical rules, educated people invented explanations since calling the rules nonsensical wasn’t allowed in polite company.
>These studies almost never ask questions like "Are you being abused by your parents?" or "Have you been molested?"

Wouldn't there be worse behavior problems than internet bullying if that was the case? Like, physical bullying or violence or worse?
Nor energy usage.
I do wonder for some of these disasters, like forest fires and floods, if they’re caused in large part by humans settling in more places. Not caused by the people settling and developing those areas but by virtue of settling places where these things happen and thus becoming a disaster because people are there.
Including null in golang was a mistake, but that decision is a lot more defensible than the decision to call it nil. Seriously, can we just pick 1 name and stick to it?
Ask HN: How would you use paid social network?
Hi, we are building a social network with paid mechanics: subscription levels, tipping, and direct purchases of digital goods/files.

Think of it as Patreon meets Twitter.
(ench.app)

The platform is completely from scratch with our own engine. We think about the direction of growth and how we can be useful. Need help with a fresh look and feedback from the outside, cause we are too mired in development and our eyes totally blurred.

Really interesting in ideas, even random ones.

We’re in private beta now but you can mail me max@ench.app in case you want to test the platform now.

Thanks,
Max
LOL. Just the other day, Elizabeth Warren, a US senator, pushed a conspiracy that Stacy Abrams won the Georgia gubernatorial election three years ago. This would've gotten anyone banned from Facebook or Twitter if it was a different "side." To the extent a Facebook crackdown would mostly impact the right, it's because the loony-left is now completely mainstream and doesn't need Facebook. The crazies on the right have basically Fox and that's it, yawn.

Feel free to look at Twitter's trending topics. Any topic, and I mean literally ANY topic of some political nature, if you click on it, will take you to nothing but people shitting on anything conservative while praising anything liberal. It's all it is.

There's no balance ANYWHERE. Everything has been weaponized.
Arm’s solution to the future needs of AI, security, specialized computing is v9
In urban northern Canada, this sounds pretty great. Rural parts are facing a significant challenge, because ice roads are freezing later, and thawing earlier.
CAPsMAN is a royal PITA to set up. You have to manually add all the wifi channels, map each AP to the channels it'll use, and a lot of busywork. Once it's set up, though, it works fine, and lets you upgrade all devices from the manager, etc.
Agree with what you said. I do not want to paint YC and PG as unethical, that would be wrong. I've reworded. Thanks for the write-up.
Being online leads to a deep mental disturbance that just grows and grows.

It's like you're hungry and you're reading through an endless stack of menus with this weird idea that the menus will sate your hunger. And you just keep on reading, about sandwiches, pizza and Chinese food. But none of the reading helps. You just keep on getting hungrier.

I think that the Buddhists talk about this state, in their version of Hell.

It's only natural that this would lead to "demoniacal" behavior.
There is a issue of the incoherence of this behavior in Big Sur. Example: on my screen, in the menubar, vertical alignment of menu items (File, Edit...) is not the same as date & time widget (slightly upper). I don't know if it's because of my non-Retina screen and the lack of optimisation in recent macOS in this regard.
I get these sometimes, usually they want some bitcoin dumped in an address, and reference your "password" which is clearly one from an old account that was hacked. Usually I look online for the address and find the other people they sent it to. But these are the amateurs looking for easy victims.

New Libreboot release, ETA late April 2021
Sounds like the US brand is so burned, that they decided to try something bold.
Right. I would never have any device like a camera be directly connected to the internet and instead cut off that device from the internet in my router software and only access it from outside via a VPN.

Not that this whole screw-up should be excused in any way or downplayed.
OpenTelemetry Python 1.0
Emacs definitely counts given Clojure is largely influenced by Common Lisp and the fact that Emacs is the most popular editor for editing Clojure.
My bad, (it's WordPress) we're working on building faster landing pages with Webflow
Sure, it's definitely something worth taking into consideration, I just wouldn't value it too highly and in many cases I think there are much better indicators of ability.
PyCharm 2021.1 EAP 5 is Out
The conditions in the agreement between arm and Apple aren't public so you can't say for sure. Historically arm hasn't allowed architecture licensees to do their own thing. You're implementing arm standard architecture (and passing the conformance test suite) or nothing. Looks like they've given Apple some special dispensation to do things differently (e.g. the custom AMX instructions that have been uncovered https://gist.github.com/dougallj/7a75a3be1ec69ca550e7c36dc75...).

For ARMv9 this potentially means they can pick and choose what they want to implement. I'm sure Apple has had plenty of input into the specification (along with other partners).
https://libreboot.org/news/libreboot202104xx.html gives Leah's take on this and includes reasons for removing the code of conduct from the project.
Ask your router? Is there a generic way to do this, or do you mean "look into its vendor-specific management interface"?
IIRC it says that they got the LastPass data for an employee which had (non two factored?) AWS access credentials.
I like it but agree w/ everything carlos_rpn said. Besides that, every time you click "next puzzle" you get a different layout but the same clues. Also, scrolling the clues is slightly ugly/annoying. Why not have two tabs, Across and Down and then you'd have a longer/larger space for clues to minimize scrolling?
Humans, their personalities and traits, have barely altered in 1000s of years. The internet is polarising the worst aspects. Humans haven't changed, but their worst behaviour is unleashed by anonymity.

The Canadian government has a culture, which is related to Canadian culture, and both of them have a lot of influence over what is considered acceptable to post on their twitter account. Therefore, a tweet on an account publicly associated with them reveals information about the culture of Canada.
I would use a paid social network like a paid community: a place where you can socialize with people who end up working with you on well-paying projects.
Totally. I'm deliberate and happy with the the bubble I've created. It's actually quite diverse in terms of authenticated sources-- the anonymous content is what's heavily filtered.

> It certainly will be better to know of something happening, even if in brief terms, than to be completely in the dark of it.

I don't think so. It's impossible to hear about everything and I feel whatever is newsworthy enough to hit the sources I read is important enough for me.
It will be interesting to see if they push Superheavy/Starship into production before they've completely mastered the landing/re-use of the second stage (or even the first stage)? They might as well get paid for some of these launches while they continue to refine their design, like they did with Falcon 9. Starship is supposed to be able to carry 240 Starlink satellites at a time, that alone might be worth pushing ahead.

Nintendo Switch is already Arm. If nVidia lands another console, it would probably be Arm.
Not mentioned in the headline: When the user is _not_ logged in, iOS collects "location" whereas Android does not.

I am actually a little surprised that iOS would gather this information. What use would it serve?
Right now. However there are a few nations with the resources and motivation to pull this off. You might not personally be worth a lot to them, but when the cost is low they can make something of it.
Say that the false positive rate is 3 in 4, so that 75% of takedown notices are invalid. Do we have fraudulent intent? I dare you to tell me that we don't.

OK, we've established that delegating to an algorithm doesn't provide an impenetrable shield. Now it's just a question of how irresponsible you have to be for the court to go against you.

Now, is there any difference between the injured parties who are affected by your false positives when that rate is 1% versus 75%? For the subset of assessments affecting the injured party, your false positive rate is effectively 100%. Why should they bear your burden?

An algorithm can be used to identify prospects for takedown notices. If you choose not to vet those prospects, then any mistakes are on you. If you can drive down the false-positive rate low enough, you might choose to accept the costs every time you falsely accuse someone and turn the algorithm loose anyway. But if you can't absorb the costs of the algorithm's mistakes, don't rely on the algorithm.
Interesting. Subscription-based services in the home seem like a disaster waiting to happen. Unless you can self host in the event of a company shut-down, you're beholden to a company and their solvency.

Can't see anything on their website for a transition plan in the event of shutdown (and of course, why would they post that and potentially signal lack of confidence in their longevity).
Two scenarios to consider:

1. Firm creates an AI group to provide innovative solutions to its various business problems. A promising, seemingly well-suited problem is chosen, but after a few months of requirements gathering and prototyping, it turns out that the AI methods are not very effective. At this point the AI group and the business partners either double down, preferring to save face and live with a sub-optimal solution, or else the AI group abandon the project and the business partners are back to square one, having wasted months, and will now bear all the repeated overhead costs of restarting the project with another set of engineers.

2. Firm has an engineering group who are familiar with AI techniques but are also prepared to rely on 'old fashioned' approaches to get the job done. A problem is identified that initially seems like a good opportunity to use AI methods, but after a few months of requirement gathering and prototyping it turns out they are not very effective. The engineer working on the project then takes off their 'data scientist' hat and puts on their 'software developer' hat and solves the problem with other methods. Since they have already been working on the problem for a few months, no additional problem scoping is required and the business partners get their problem solved with minimal delay.

My point is that if we take this definition literally, then it's trivially true that no markets are efficient by this standard. It's also true there's nothing to talk about since everyone agrees on this.

The interesting version of this discussion is where we acknowledge there's a spectrum of applicability where we can argue about statements like "some markets are pretty efficient sometimes" or "markets are almost never efficient" etc.
