I think you’ll be happier, and possibly more charitable, if you overtly propose collaboration or quid pro quo up front with the people you tacitly hope will reciprocate, and do the giving in situations where you honestly do not expect or want reciprocation. In both situations you’re communicating more clearly what you are doing and wanting, which helps.
Service A calls to Service B and interacts with state, then Service B has a background process to do some post-processing on its state, then Service C calls to service B and interacts with state, then you interact with Service B's web interface to interact with state. How is the shared library managing and persisting the state between all these interactions?

Facial recognition works pretty well, as anyone who works in the field can tell you. So it's already different from phrenology. It's even more different from prenology in that facial and voice recognition are search and surveying tools, not conclusion or judgement tools.
> relatively simple quantum experiment

You know that we can just barely (maybe) demonstrate quantum supremacy at this point right? Anything below this mark can be done on some rental AWS time and anything beyond that mark will be a serious challenge worthy of Google or Baidu's teams.

I guess what I'm saying is that I don't think you have what you think you have.
Article already covers this, including the normal use of rosin. This is not that.
It's interesting because it seems that democratizing money is what we should be good at based on founding principles - rather we have bunch of flawed central planning disasters and bailouts.
The 1937 and 1965 fox/mgm fires should have been a wakeup call for better archival methods.
Wow that's awful. There might be some very general common characteristics of body language and facial movements the very roughly correlate to certain general situations. (Panic comes to mind) but those are still going to vary incredibly widely over the population based on so many factors, not the least of which are culture, peer groups, and general personal quirks. A person with a history of panic attacks, for example, may have learned to cope well enough not to completely lose it in a meeting at work. The list of other examples would be endless.

And how do you get a reliable data set for this to begin with? Most schools allow for a formal appeal or inquiry process precisely because anything but very blatant cheating can be a murky area. Even if you had videos and a tagged set of the outcomes of inquiries like that, you still wouldn't have intercoder ratings for reliability and therefore an no verified data set. I know some methods that can be used against untagged data, but at the very least you actually have to know if there was cheating or not.

And talk about black box-- this isn't even something that human review of specific incidents could validate. If a human couldn't reliably come to the correct conclusion based on available data, an AI using pattern matching with a questionable data set sure won't.

When the article mentioned companies using it I figured it was just early stages of testing it. Or used for some low stakes marketing/advertisement targeting. That would still be bad, but this is world's worse. Life ruining worse.

So he's saying that it doesn't bolster protection. And he's blaming the government for using "the cloud" in exactly the way that it was intended to be used: to spy on people.

> we already happily accept the use of other prejudicial information

False premise, I do not happily accept this. I begrudgingly accept it, only because I don't think I have the power to change it. But by speaking out against the automation of prejudice in other domains before those systems have become mainstream, I hope I might make a difference.

I think the cost of car insurance should be a function of your past driving history and the price of your car (if the insurance policy covers damage to your car.) Pulling race, gender, sex or age into the equation might make insurance companies more profitable, but I do not like it.
I just encountered this setting up my personal domain email.

It’s super annoying to get the powershell exchange online plugin working on an M1 Mac. The documentation says to use homebrew, but to work around the M1 issue you have to then download a specific package from Mac Ports and manually symlink some libraries.

It was really a poor impression to realise it’s so much harder to set up on anything but a windows machine.
Yeah, I wasn't asking what your beliefs were. I was asking why your beliefs are the "true" beliefs.
> Bitcoin uses a lot of energy because that's its security model. Trucks use a lot of energy because they are huge.

I agree about cleaning the inputs, but I think the parallelism implicit in your phrasing is misleading.

Bitcoin uses about 12 GW. https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/ieo/pdf/transportation.pdf says freight trucks use 23% of global transportation energy use, which seems to be about 110 quads/year (figure 8-2), so that's 25 quads/year or about 850 GW. (And all of that is fossil fuel, while most Bitcoin energy consumption is from renewables.)

You could say that an 850-kg rhinoceros has a lot of weight and so does a lot of damage when it runs into things, and a 12-kg poodle also has a lot of weight, but there is a noticeable difference when they accidentally crash into your garage door.
If the "lack of purpose" is making you uncomfortable, you could try sitting with that feeling and listening to it, trying to understand what's going on underneath; it's unlikely to be exactly what it appears. There might be professionals who can guide you in that effort, but I'm not sure what they'd be called exactly.

As for programming, I'd suggest building a few programs by following some tutorials on YouTube. In particular, programs that automate your browser or computer can be really satisfying: "open this page/program, click here, take a screenshot of this area." There should be plenty of tutorials out there that will do a basic setup for those. And if you know any programmers, ask them to help you get started. Almost without fail, I've found the hardest part of programming tutorials is installing things before you start coding. Followed closely by tutorials being out of date. So expect to try a few that don't work before you find a good one. Language does and doesn't matter: again, ask any programmers you know what they'd suggest if you only learned one language (I'd say JS).

Good luck! It's fun building castles in the air. https://commandlinezen.com/explaining-the-joy-of-programming...
The whole phone will be a commodity soon if it's not already. When was the last time something felt like a significant innovation/differentiator in a phone?

(Personally I haven't been excited about a new phone feature since the S7's notification LED - and that apparently wasn't important enough to keep in newer versions).
What I meant by "forced to learn something useful" is what you put in a more clear way by being forced to generalize.
Actually bitcoin is more dead now than it was in 2013 - if your metric is real world use of the protocol. For example buying coffee with bitcoin. Or using it somewhere where it isn’t just turned immediately back into fiat by a 3rd party providing effectively a convenient “sell the bitcoin on Coinbase then pay with fiat” service.

Bitcoin is a speculative bubble and not much else.

The only hope it has is to be adopted as a reserve currency (not just legal tender) by many countries, and thus cement its value and then people will really be using it as a currency albeit on secondary layers, most likely provided by a number of centralised “PayPal-like” entities.

I don’t have faith in Lightning Network. Spend $50 to lock up $5000 where someone else can close you down and cost you $50 and you run around trying to find peers and be your own bank? No thanks.

So Bitcoin is a call option on this “hyperbitcoinisation” and anything less means it’s completely dead or just an occasional decentralised ponzi.

Golf clap good human!
Much of what passes for human industry is essentially just strip mining the planet of its natural resources. I’d recommend watching Sir David Attenborough’s A Life On Our Planet for a sobering view of the ecological footprint of non-Bitcoin human economic activity, which presumably you invest in one way or the other. Moving to a global deflationary economic system per Bitcoin would at least disincentivize the rampant consumerism destroying this planet via disincentivizing capital investment and spending.
I notice the lack of citations from government sources (which I provided). I believe you’re incorrect.

And I think you’re under a false impression. There isn’t really two sides, there’s one “side” that controls the media, the three letter agencies, the leadership of the military, the house, the senate and the presidency. The “opposition” is also part of the same team, they only disagree on taxes... you can call these authoritarians.

The only “other party” is trump, maybe 8-10 senators and ~50 house members + maybe tulsi gabbard and a few others on the left. Basically, the few that oppose FISA courts and the rest. You can call these populists.

This is why there’s so much hate directed at trump and why there’s so much fear. It’s also not really trump. It’s why you see BLM, Antifa, etc. our leaders don’t represent us, they oppress us.
I read your comment like "This is so crazy, it just might work!"
Understood. So even with the Lightning Network Bitcoin will not be able to keep up with the transactions and transacting in it will be extraordinarily expensive.

Currently block fees are 5% of the block reward. In 2024 when the next halvening occurs, either Bitcoin needs to double in price by then or the block fee will have to make up 45% of the gap, which is an increase in almost 10x, from $4.5/transaction to $40. If it fails to do this miners on the margin will stop mining and the security of the network will diminish.

Seems a remarkable number of people don't grasp the difference (in context of US Constitution) between a press and a postal road - as in they think Facebook et al _is_ the internet, not comprehending they have any number of options to choose from. Hence the non-sequitur accusations of "monopoly!"
DKIM == Domain Keys Identified Mail, i.e. a mechanism so that email can prove it comes from the domain that it claims to come from.

Bitcoin addresses are not public keys, they are the hash of the public key. Therefore you can not use a QC to derive the private key from the address alone (since the hash function is QC safe)

The public key is only written to the blockchain when you spend coin from that address, so at that point a QC can attack the key. Thus it's important to never re-use an address once you've spent from it and always spend the entire amount by using a newly generated change address.
If we're running airport security - putting aside the security theatre aspect - do we really want to search a 90 year old female pensioner as often as a 21 year old man, when the former is significantly (as in, 100x thereabouts) less likely to pose a threat to a flight? Isn't that just a waste of resources?

Or consider health insurance. Do we really want young people paying the same premiums as 80 year olds?

Perhaps you think there's a negative societal byproduct of making a certain group of people feel marginalized/targeted. Does wanting to reduce this justify clear resource wastage, such as in the airport security example above?
Polygon basically checkpoints a spreadsheet onto the eth chain on an interval, but there is no way to guarantee that there weren't any shenanigans between the checkpoints. This is a big improvement over say BSC which does no such thing, but it isn't the security of a true eth L2. Real L2's can prove that their output to L1 is legitimate either through zero knowledge cryptographic proofs (loopring, zksync) or through a game theory fraud check (optimism, arbitrum).
How AI Is Transforming Crypto Industry
Agreed, and in fairness the fact that it was such a noteworthy experience means that it is rare, at least in my life. For the most part the hierarchy has been just a means to organize a group effort. And even then I prevailed. I think that says a lot about the intervening progress.

Not everyone is willing to take them and there aren't enough of them to vaccinate the entire world.

If the disease is still raging in any part of the world, that will lead to variants which will eventually escape the vaccine, thus restarting the cycle again.
I'm a strong cryptoskeptic, but this is the most convincing argument for enduring relevance that I've seen yet.

Where do you get "half" from that? Female cows are economically productive and males are not. The ratio is not even close to half-and-half. Go look at a herd of cows sometime.

> So, you say KDE has a unified style. That’s great. But KDE != Linux. And Linux is never going to have a unified style. That’s just the nature of the beast. There isn’t one group out there that can make UI/UX decisions for all of Linux. No group that can set priorities and make decisions about what features stay and what can be removed

You can run a complete desktop on KDE and have a good, well-integrated experience. Maybe some people will try to tell you that Firefox would be a better browser or whatever, but as long as Konqueror is good enough for you then why do you care? (Personally I actually think it's significantly better, and a lot of the KOffice tools are better than their LibreOffice counterparts, but taking it as a given that there are "best" versions of some things that are not on KDE).

Maybe you value one particular tool that doesn't fit into your integrated desktop, but that's a common experience on other platforms as well. But if a unified UI is what you want, you absolutely can have that.
Agree, been doing some cuda as part of my job since 2009, and it works very smooth, you could write non trivial programs after less than one week of learning (if you know C before). When opencl got a little hype, I had a look, I didn't manage to run a simple example, and I was asking myself: do I really want to have to use all this boilerplate code? Also at least a while back there is no good fft outside of cuda, maybe that changed though.
I am using a LTO-7 drive connected to a FreeBSD server.

FreeBSD always succeeds to write the tape continuously at about 300 MB per second, which is the maximum speed for LTO-7.

All the files send to the tape are grouped into large archive files and for the dd command that writes to tape I use a block size of 128 kB.

The tape commands from FreeBSD are more convenient than those from Linux, which have not seen much maintenance in recent years.

Obviously, you cannot reach tape speed when making the backup directly from a HDD or from a 1 Gb/s Ethernet.

You must write the backup to tape either from a fast SSD, or from 10 Gb/s Ethernet coming from a fast SSD at the other end, or from a RAM disk configured on the server, if you have enough memory.

To not wear unnecessarily the SSDs on my server where the tape drive is located, whenever I write the backup, I configure a large RAM disk on the server. The backup files coming through Ethernet to the server are written to the RAM disk on the server, then they are copied to the tape.

With this arrangement it is very easy to ensure that the tape drive is written at maximum speed without any hiccups.
Based. I hope that this isn't an empty threat and ends up actually being prosecuted.
How practically beneficial are around the edge/minor issue contributors to projects? Between coding standards, formatting, and how long it takes for people to learn a codebase, are a bunch of new minor contributors actually all that helpful?

Nearly every ball touched by a bat is tossed out of the game--foul balls, balls in the dirt, balls that get tossed back by the pitcher. Games typically use between 84 and 120 balls. It would be trivial to detect if the ump did a check on every ball in play or after random outs. It's not like the umps can't see the same action the batter sees.
> The public key is only written to the blockchain when you spend coin from that address

As Canada points out[1], there is a window when it's revealed to the mempool but not yet committed to the blockchain. During that time, even a single-use address is not QC safe.

>Meat and dairy are separate considerations.

Not everywhere. In the US there is an incredible amount of overlap. For example, Male cows born in the dairy industry end up in the meat industry. But more specifically I don't see how they are separate in the context of this conversation? Aren't we just talking about the inefficiency of raising animals as a food source?

>Anyway when you ask questions like the one above, please consider that the conditions you know from the Americas are not the same in all of the rest of the world, and that most of the rest of the world simply does not eat as much meat, of all kids, as Americans (and by "Americans" I mean people in the US, Argentina and Brazil).

I thought I was, I honestly wanted to know what the percentage of meat and dairy comes from pasture animals in the world. I guess I should of been more clear about that.

>"Demand", maybe not. But "need"? It seems to me that this can be done perfectly well simply because the amount currently consumed is extravagant. People in the US eat way too much meat, per capita, compared to almost everyone else in the world, including most industrialised nations. My selection below:

I 100% agree.

>Nobody needs to eat that much meat.

Again I very much agree.

Keys for some quantum-secure crypto systems are pretty big - the Wikipedia article has a chart of proposed ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography#Comp... They range from about 10 to 100x as large as the EDCSA keys used in Bitcoin. This poses its own problems with transaction sizes and the block size cap and total throughput, though it's not a fatal flaw to the protocol.
Indeed! This is what’s so frustrating, there’s no evidence and no recourse.

It’s also worse because there’s actually significantly more proof it didn’t happen. EVEN MULLER SAID AS MUCH. But there’s no way to convince people because they won’t read the source material.

There’s also significantly more proof Joe Biden is compromised / highly corrupt... and nothing happens. The news won’t even report it. Where’s joes financial records? Why haven’t we seen endless news coverage... I’m not a pro-anyone guy, I just want the truth. I’m sick of it.
Strike is the government sanctioned one, however, so saying options exist is a bit inconsequential. After all people on HN can barely keep abreast of why Tether is bad - I hardly expect the average Salvadoran. A government-endorsed Tether wallet is awful.
When I say that not being complicated to implement is an advantage, I mean I can have much more confidence that whatever implementation I’m using is bug-free and secure (e.g. by auditing the entire thing and its dependencies, something not even remotely feasible with a web browser), not that it should be constantly reimplemented. Contributing to a Gemini client or even just building it is a lot easier than doing the same for a web browser component.

Plus, being able to implement something from the ground up in not much time means it’s possible to explore foundational advances, like building the entire client/server in a memory-safe language.
By today's standard Doom doesn't need much processing power.

You could probably find exactly the right chip that only has exactly just as many bits of RAM as you need for the lamp's functionality. But that would probably be more expensive to develop and chip than just using standard parts?

Even more radical: I suspect with a bit of cleverness you could probably do everything the lamp needs to do with some relays and transistors. But today, that would be more expensive.

Compare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmGaXEmfTIo for the latter approach.
