On a flight once I saw the person next to me was looking at topo maps on an ipad and we started a conversation. They were a pilot for United and said all the training and much of the data is on ipads, if one breaks you just get handed a new preloaded one, and it's not used for anything flight critical.
Writing headlines was one of the joys of my time in the journalism industry. I especially liked alliteration.

When I moved to television, the opportunities came and went with the talent (anchors). Some loved it, some hated it.

On morning shows you could get away with a lot of things. I would occasionally write entire stories in iambic pentameter, or as poems, because when you're pounding out copy at 1am, that's what you do to keep your brain engaged.

One of my favorite memories was the day I aired a live feed of something happening in New Zealand. The chyron I wrote was "Aukland, New Zealand/Tomorrow."

While not implemented I think there are "lattice based" forms of cryptography that are believed to QC resistant that blockchains could migrate over to if QCs begin to show signs of increased fault tolerance and size.
In my view, it's actually a move toward the PKI/trust layer that we should have implemented at the outset.
Impressive and this is awesome, but you've only covered one aspect of it: logging. Logging is of no use (perhaps except the conciousness it brings in the process of writing things down) unless you have a way to query, analyze and gain meaningful insights from all this data. Have you done that? Thanks for camping out at the summit of HN's peak :-)
Very cool - good to know.
Also, it is very unlikely that there would even be a loose wire around where one could trip on.
Hard to say.

My tool so far does not output p values. At the moment, it visualizes possible cause/effect relationships in kind of a dot cloud. It shifts all effects in time relative to the possible cause. So an effect would look like a dent in the graph on the right side of the origin.

Some cause/effect pairs look interesting. But I want to gather more data and implement appropriate statistical tests before I publish something.

It is an interesting question, which statistical tests to apply to this kind of open log format. If anybody here has ideas about this, I would be very interested in hearing them.
Maybe the NSA installed a backdoor in your brain.
I'm concerned about what happens to data Brave collects when Brave decides to sell itself. At some point they could be attractive to acquire.
It's easy to say that, but what do you expect the platform to provide? If the platform makes operating your business so trivial that they provide all functionality baked into the product, I would suggest that your business may lack novelty, and therefore it may also lack competitiveness.

"No code" doesn't mean you don't have to implement things yourself. You are simply limited to the platform's baked in abstractions in exchange for "not having to write code".

Your services may eventually not map well to the capabilities of the platform, and it may cause problems. In such cases, the easiest and likely best solution is to offload functionality to a private server running custom code that interacts with the interfaces to the existing platform.

The whole "no code" thing is spun as "empowering entrepreneurs", but there is a philosophy underlying it that implementation details don't matter, and programmers aren't needed. It may be true for some businesses who are in non-technical sectors, but if you are selling digital services themselves "no code" will only take you so far.

Shebang specifically refers to using an exclamation point to define where data should be directed. Same as it is in Bash scripts, just a different context and slightly different syntax.
In my experience this is the case for every low-code platform once you try anything more advanced then their most basic tutorials and use-cases.
It's an appeal against specifying what has been historically an anti-pattern in signature formats; it's caused problems for SAML (and XMLDSIG generally) and JWT already. It won't bite you hard, at least any time soon, because of how few verifying codebases your project deals with. But it's not what you'd call a best practice.

Compare this to the lack of verification criteria (cf HdV's post) --- the signature ambiguity is (sorry) unambiguously a wart on the format and one you should be able to agree, ceteris paribus, should be fixed. But it's probably less likely to cause a real world problem than this design choice.
Hey man, if you're getting paid then good for you. I won't knock the hustle. But I'm still surprised.

Most of the chapters in this TOC are absolute basics, that would be covered in any Golang book (e.g. writing HTTP endpoints, fetching JSON from HTTP endpoints, using goroutines, etc). And most of the leading books on the market are around 500 pages, give or take, and cover much more.

One-hundred pages with 15 code examples is basically ~15 blog posts, packaged up in eBook form. If you're able to convert that into $5-10k or more, then that's amazing! I should self-publish a small book myself. I would not have seriously considered a project like that, because quite frankly I just don't understand the target audience. Why people would pick boutique self-published options over an O'Reilly or Manning book, etc.
There's kind of a neat back story to Allan Sherman. The guy largely paved the way for entertainers like Weird Al Yankovic by introducing parody as an actual form of musical appreciation. Over the course of his life, he offended almost all the biggest names in music and got sued so often that I suspect he was on a first name basis with judges.

John F. Kennedy was apparently caught singing this song:

It's interesting to think what music and comedy would be like today without Allan Sherman. He was one hell of an innovator.

Qwant really has been a lovely search engine, highly suggest it for anyone looking for something better than DDG.

4 bytes get converted to 6 alnums and those gets packed into 3 * 11 = 33 "qr-bits" <=> [33/32 - 1] ~ 3% loss.
Not true. In practice I've found their results to be basically identical to bing and other bing front-ends. What's not from bing are the widgets like weather, or dictionary definitions etc.

So imo, "many sources, bing is just one" is misleading, as the main SERPs are pretty much straight up bing.

(Note: I've used ddg as my main search engine for years)
It's awesome to see you doing this, and taking the time to respond here! Ditto for your (re)implementation of transformers a while back, which you clearly worked on for fun as a side project too. The world would be such a better place if every executive in charge of technology at a large company engaged in these kinds of side projects for fun on a regular basis :-)

If I may, let me ask you an unrelated question that just 'popped in my head' only now but is related to your recent presentation at CVPR: Are you guys at Tesla fusing video with audio data for self-driving?

Just curious. I ask because (a) sound waves at frequencies detectable by the human ear appear to be quite important for both routine and edge-case situations (e.g., sounds of other vehicles braking/screeching/accelerating/passing, sirens of ambulances/police cars/fire trucks, bursts of honks from other vehicles, people suddenly shouting/screaming nearby), and (b) audio and video signals are already synchronized, so I imagine fusing them should be more straightforward (e.g., there's already some research out there on applying deep learning to video clips with audio).
Semgrep for GitLab

> The reason everybody was scrambling for NATO membership was the threat of being taken over by USSR.

While it was a sign of being more comfortable with the US than the USSR, for many it was more a hedge against an eventual resurgence of Germany than a perceived imminent Soviet threat. Which, sure, looking back from after the Cold War seems a bit weird, but from the perspective of the immediate aftermath of the two World Wars with a short breathing space in between is less so.

> It should also be noted that Russia's claim to join NATO was rejected in 1954,

No, Russia’s suggestion that if appropriate changes to the structure and character of NATO were made it might be interested in discussing joining (not a “claim to join”), made as part of a multipronged strategy to disrupt the formation of European Defense Community, promote the demobilization of Western European militaries, and gradually push the US out of Europe (which everyone could see at the time, but we know for certain now because we have thr internal Soviet Foreign Ministry memos as the strategy developed) was given a hard pass.

> and Putin has stated that he has suggested Russia joining NATO to Clinton and was again rejected.

Russia was admitted to NATO’s Partnership for Peace, a membership on-ramp program, in 1994, and NATO has been pretty clear about the path forward if Russia wants full membership. Russia’s not interested in membership (though it may have been when it joined PfP), only disruption, so it hasn’t made any recent steps on that path, but that's Russia’s decision.

> but why was post-USSR crumbling and then Western-friendly Russia rejected?

Russia made a bit of progress toward membership during its brief Western-friendly phase, with the support of the Alliance. The 2000 discussions where Putin floated the suggestion of joining were after that period. It was a nonserious empty propaganda maneuver.

> I'll suggest that it was because US would then lose its favourite boogeyman.

Nah, by then Saddam Hussein’s Iraq was a bigger boogeyman than Russia; sure, the US had conflict—and almost, in the Balkans in the late 1990s, direct armed conflict—with Russia, but the US government publicly downplayed that conflict, rather than treating Russia as a boogeyman. Russia didn't really get back boogeyman status until it forced its way back to it with its invasions of Ukraine.
ARM is a collection of many different cores. So yes, RISC-V probably competes well vs ARM-M, but I wouldn't say that RISC-V competes against ARM-A (which is starting to become big enough to compete against x86).

Just because ARM-M and ARM-A shares an instruction set doesn't mean that those chips are anything alike. Heck, ARM-M0+ is a completely different chip than ARM-M4.

ARM-R is roughly the target of RISC-V. (Realtime cores).
Depends.

I'd say that Clickbait is an evolution of internet trolling, chasing engagement with outrageous claims.

Which is a dated term that isn't used frequently. Yes the risks for certain things increase after 35 but pregnancy after 35 or 40+ is healthy and common.

The average age of Menopause is 51, before 40 is considered "premature menopause".

Yep. The fact that it even existed in the Brave browser at any point in time is enough to eternally dissuade me from using it.
Guessing it's because the private key is right in the code:

>secret_key3 = int.from_bytes(b"Andrej's Super Secret 3rd Wallet", 'big') # or just random.randrange(1, bitcoin_gen.n)

(Obviously a private key intended for actual use generally wouldn't just be some ASCII bytes of an English phrase and wouldn't be posted publicly. Though, of course, there have been instances of both...)
IMHO search ads are bad search results, and in 99% of time they are not something I would want to click. So they are doing nothing useful but only adding friction to my search experience. I am not against privacy friendly ads in free services, but if there's an option to pay to get rid of ads, I will pay.
I count myself very fortunate that I find the word "work" very confusing.
Just don't re-use addresses. Bitcoin does not expose your public key until you spend from it.
Exactly. I don't hate the general concepts or anything, they're obviously important for organizational structure, but the static and uninteresting representations do not take advantage of some of the rich bandwidth of the visual channel. We could see a lot of things about a directory, or at least have them hinted -- a sense of age of files, perhaps ... a collage of some oft-accessed files ... a TF-IDF for a document jutting forward only to be subsumed by a video segment washing over it, and so on. File sizes could be represented on some kind of log-scale.

And you're so painfully spot-on about hiding with GUIs. Microsoft continues to wave the utterly unnecessary 3D Objects in my face, and My Videos, and so on and so forth. One Drive appears to jostle for my attention, but meanwhile I have to do additional work just to see where in a directory tree I am.
+1 for Harry Parch. Here's a good introduction for new people [1]. I'd add in Lou Harrison [2] and Tristan Murail [3]

Lou Harrison was heavily influenced by Gamelan music, and Tristan Murail is one of the founders of spectralism, which uses spectrograms of individual instruments to build distinct harmonies by having orchestral instruments play the harmonic series as shown on the spectrogram. They stretch this idea even further by adding in "harmonics/overtones" that are not shown on the spectrogram to create dissonance.

Cities:Skylines has a mod called Traffic Manager which lets you ... manage traffic. It gives tools that are sorely lacking in the base game, such as setting an intersection to have traffic lights, timed traffic lights, four way stop signs, two way stops+two way yield, control when/where vehicles are allowed to change lanes, where crosswalks are, whether vehicles are allowed to pull into an intersection if there's not enough space for them to leave the intersection, etc.

By default, Cities:Skylines will despawn vehicles that have taken too long to get to where they're going and just warp them there. There's a hard cap on how bad traffic can get. Traffic Manager lets you disable that ... feature. Traffic Manager IMHO fixes the dishonesty you mentioned. C:S with TM is a more complete, more correct, more honest game than vanilla C:S is.

There's a youtube channel where most of what he does is takes a city from a viewer with shitty traffic and fixes all the traffic problems.
That analogy doesn't really work when it comes to investing.

Yes! Educational research supports being casual and conversational. Although for drawing diagrams, a physical overhead with the instructor's hand visible seems to work far better than Khan style video.

Size on disk isn't, or shouldn't be a problem today. In an ecosystem where there are games that take up over 100 gigabytes of storage, few apps should be large enough to make a user double take. CPU and Memory usage on the other hand can be serious concerns and one where Electron apps have a serious problem compared to traditional approaches.
Not pedantic at all, I for one have never speculated about galactic dynamics

So in the solar system the inner planets have faster orbits than the outer planets, I assume it would be the same on a galactic level - if we’re a slow poke out on the edge, could there be some region of the galaxy that orbits the core 8x faster than us such that we’re periodically effected by it?

Edit LOL my sibling comments have filled in some info for me on the mean time
Can you give an example of how you can get away without an intervention?
If you read the post covering the feature in Brave, and reviewed the screenshots of its implementation, you'd see that the intent here was to respond to user input, and offer the user the option of using Brave's referral link. The intent was never to coerce users into using the link; it was merely presented as an option—a clean and clear way to support Brave development.

It is still an example of traffic attribution, as is the case with Firefox sending your keystrokes to Google asynchronously (marked with the Firefox identifier). This is how Firefox continues to get paid, by sending users over to the Google search engine. In the case of Brave, this identifier was shown to the user prior to any network activity. That isn't the case with Firefox (and nearly every other popular browser).
If we could do X and Y, then we could do Z. Yeah, but we are not doing X and Y, hence, your opinion is just some idialistic bs and deserves to be downvoted.
> it’s far cheaper, and more importantly more predictable, to have a new car

It can never be cheaper to have a new car. Do the math objectively and this is clear.

It can be more predictable, if you value that. Lease a new car, you know exactly what you're paying every month and for how long. Sure. But it'll be a lot more than an old car.

> You can believe that if you want

I don't believe, I have all my car expenses tracked since the early 90s so I know what I spend. In those 30 years I've mostly had cheap reliable old cars and a few new cars. The new cars have their joy, but they are a huge money pit. Currently my newest car is 17 years old and the oldest is 33 years old.

No new cars for me ever again, I let others pay the depreciation so I can get nearly-free transportation.

If you wanted cheap transportation, there's nothing cheaper to own than a ~$3K-4K used Honda/Mazda/Toyota. You obviously cannot have 1K/year in depreciation on a car that cost so little. New cars will be guaranteed to depreciate way more than that though.

The strategy for cheap transportation is buy that reliable car for 3-4K, drive it for ten+ years with minimal maintenance, insure for liability only. At the end of the years you can sell it for pretty much same as the buy price if you kept it clean. You can easily verify this by looking at craigslist prices for, say, a Honda Civic from the 90s to the 00s. A clean running car will only depreciate to a certain point and no more. If you buy it at the bottom of the depreciation curve you won't lose any money in depreciation. For some models, if you hold them for a while, it'll actually appreciate.

A Citroen is not a Honda/Mazda/Toyota. With an esoteric car like that, I don't doubt parts are expensive and reliability is low.
A while ago, there was an announcement by, I think, Western Digital, that they were going to replace the ARMs in their HDDs with RISC V.
It's not a PoC, CoronaCheck is the app that will be used in The Netherlands for generating QR codes. The domestic QR code will be much more friendly with respect to privacy as explained by radicalbytes. The reason that it's not been adopted by the EU is because member states want to set their own rules for entry. For example, some countries consider previous infection + 1 dose as fully vaccinated, others do not. Some countries approve non-EMA approved vaccines, most do not. That's why it's necessary to include more details. I think you have to remember that everything is a trade-off, if you want a more privacy-friendly solution, there will be a cost at some point.

Interesting, anything you would recommend then?
I'm testing on Firefox and the Tor browser right now, JS disabled. I also disabled cookies in Firefox. Searches for "Seirdy", "Neovim", "gccgo", and others return results identical to Google, Startpage, and Searx instances with only Google enabled. No other independent engine of all the 25 other English independently-indexing engines I compared in the article has had this happen; identical pages on all the other engines are nearly impossible to find for advanced/uncommon queries.

90% of queries being identical to Google but different from the 25 other independent engines is one hell of a coincidence.

Archived example:

Brave results for "gccgo": https://web.archive.org/web/20210622172743/https://search.br...

Google results for "gccgo" (proxied through Startpage): https://web.archive.org/web/20210622172939/https://startpage...

If this is a bug, it's very serious and needs to be publicly disclosed.

I am pretty sure I would be a great city planner based on my extensive collection of utopian simulations in Cities Skylines. Though I would have to take a huge payout to do far more important work, so I will have to pass.
> Over the past few years, I have made several attempts to replace Google Search with DuckDuckGo

I have been using Startpage for a while. It's results are same as Google, but with zero tracking. But it puts (non-personalized) ads in results.
> Brave is noticeable faster on every one

This is interesting, because in my experience Ungoogled Chromium/Vivaldi feels much snappier than Brave across my computers. Especially on older devices (like my trusty X201), Brave starts to really chug when I open more than 4 or 5 tabs.
Tenet would beg to differ.
I don't quite remember, but wasn't the cliqz search engine ranking function somehow built on tracking users, kind of contrary to what brave stands for?
The BAT (and before it, Bitcoin) is there as an optional feature. It's not on or enabled by default. It's there for users who wish to anonymously earn rewards for their attention, and use those rewards to support content creators on the Web.
Google's targeted advertising campaign is also optional, that doesn't make me any more comfortable with the fact that it exists.
