> The high-end visual effects industry that we dominated is notoriously slow to adapt to change, and operates for the most part on razor-thin margins. There were billions flowing into film and episodic production every year, but there wasn’t (and likely still isn’t) an obvious opportunity to further monetise our existing customers.

The visual effects industry operates fundamentally on not paying people. It is symptomatic of Hollywood broadly. It is absurd that the savings of 60 and 70 year olds are, via the children in the industry they support, subsidizing Disney.
Please stop equating physical punishment with abuse. I did not say the word abuse, so don't make a straw man of me. Abuse is, by definition, negative. We can't have any kind of discussion about whether physical punishment is negative or positive if you can't distinguish it from abuse.

Our entire society is quite literally based around physical punishment for law breaking, in that you go to jail. Society does not function with solely positive reinforcement. I'm sorry about this, and I don't like it either, but it's just a fact of life. I fail to see any justification for the strange idea that a child or adolescent should never be punished physically, but an adult should be. If there exist adults who are deterred from bad behavior due to the consequences, and they obviously do exist, why do you think that such adolescents don't also exist? For such adolescents who don't respond to gentler measures, a spanking may very well deter the bad behavior. I very seriously do not understand why this is debated.

In regards to the historical context, I find your opinion on that myopic and egoistic.
The media keeps getting this wrong by underestimating the skill and prescience of some of these meme-stock investors. In Jan-Feb the consensus by the financial media was that GME and AMC would crash and not recover, yet half a year later GME is above 200 and AMC is considerably higher than it was in January. The narrative was (and still is) that "GME and AMC are dying businesses" and maybe this is true, but there is also more than meets the eye and going on behind the scenes, such as restructuring, business pivots, and raising capital.

Moreover, I have observed that mainstream pundits such as on TV and in print give worse advice compared to advice on Reddit, blogs,and other non-mainstream sources. r/wallstreetbets has been recommending GME and AMC for months, and had anyone heeded their advice with even a little bit of money would have done well. Same for Tesla and AMD. Same for Tesla, which they honed in on in 2019 , before its 10x rally. Or Palantir, which surged from $9 after the IPO November 2020 to $25 now.Much better than Seeking Crap/Alpha with publishes nothing but filler articles about stocks that do the opposite of what the authors expect and lose readers' money. Much better than James Cramer, whose only usefulness is he draws huge ratings, has been costing his viewers millions over the past 15 years with terrible stock picks.
Seems reasonable. March/April is the end of the Concept2 indoor rowing annual "season" and I noticed that I had put essentially the same distance on my rower last year as my truck.

Unpaid internships are federally legal in the US[0]. Some localities have stricter rules about what qualifies. This only applies if it's actually an internship, though.

Unpaid work at a startup is possible if you have an equity stake or some other arrangement. Plenty of startups would never exist if a couple people hadn't gotten together and worked for free (and additionally invested their own money) to bootstrap. But it doesn't sound like that applies to GP's situation.

I'm not sure what GP is doing wrong, but it sounds like they're only applying to places out of their league and/or only FAANG. The vast, vast majority of paid software job interviews don't involve ANY algorithm whiteboarding or online test-taking. That happens at a minority subset of companies, and there's a huge range of jobs in between "working for free" and FAANG that are trivial to get with any qualifications.

I think it is correct as Doppelgänger are supposed to be the evil version of oneself.
Yeah ideally the whole car upon impact would instantly turn into a big sploosh of medicated gel, safely ensconcing passengers and nearby pedestrians or cyclists and bringing everything to a sudden but harmless stop, and also it would make your skin look great.

Hah, I’ve thought the same thing. I think I’d enjoy working with myself quite a bit. As a housemate, though, I doubt we’d cross boundaries often. Very thankful to be married to someone who truly complements me.

Biological systems are complex and don't have a single variable which needs optimizing, they have many, need many, and every variable with leverage needs to be thought as a part of a whole.

I work on a team that has some planet wide scale software pipelines.

I broke it, hard. I’m not a software engineer so I had no idea how to undo what I had done.

People from 3 different teams, two of them experts from other teams who heard my call for help hopped on a call and spent all day helping me fix the issue I made and then some. This was a hard stop on a cortical package pipeline for 24 hours and at no point did I feel like my job was at stake despite it clearly being my fault, and due to me running a command I know I shouldn’t have and cutting corners.
@jbaudanza sorry my response actually didn't reflect your suggestion at all!

I suppose I should caveat my grandparent comment by saying that StaticArrays and MArrays are only good up to 14 x 14, if memory serves me correctly. That rule of thumb might be out of date; the compiler might construct large tuples more efficiently these days.
That's exactly my point. Food lies in gray area.

I can totally relate to the piece about it being a kick in the ass to pull myself together. I also got into the PhD partially to prove that I am smart enough. I think I needed to play that pattern out one way or another, it was something that would have come out in other ways in a different situation. But I did learn something about myself by confronting this issue so directly in the PhD, even though it’s difficult to articulate what exactly I got out of it.

Actually I came around to the point of view that most people get into the PhD for “the wrong reasons”, but that the process of being confronted with those wrong reasons helps you grow. Similar to “nobody is ready for marriage, marriage makes you ready for marriage.”
I have an 11 year old SUV that I use to tow a trailer. Came with loads of airbags, ABS, traction control, stability control, disc brakes around. I feel incredibly safe in it and have zero incidents.

Age is being used as a really sloppy proxy for safety features, when a lot of these things were completely standard 10 years ago. As mentioned in another post, a 2009 Range Rover came with every major safety feature.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you sent, but isn't this just a way for the user to report that they viewed an add, not prove that they viewed it?
Project deadlines like this are pretty bad for protect quality. Asking people to grind 80 hour work weeks is honestly stupid. It's bad for your employees, it's awful for productivity (your productivity per hour massively dives), and it's bad for quality because you're over worked and stressed and tired, which is bad for your clients. So if you want to do thing exactly the wrong way, yeah do 80 hour work weeks and serve your clients rushed half baked garbage. If you take your time and do it right, everyone will be happier. People have limits and you can't just push them passed those limits when it's convenient or when someone gives you unreasonable deadlines.
As one should.

I personally would want companionship with something squishy and biologic. The idea that I'd be relying on something built and designed is extremely off putting.

It's masturbation vs sex, video games vs life, humanity vs borg-like collectivism.

If your friends are going to be machines, why not plug into a matrix like virtual reality where you can just live out your wildest dreams? Well, because it's fake.

To me, nothing has meaning without the constraints of reality and relationships to other biologic beings. That said, I suppose there may be a day when machines are even more sentient than I. Still, until I'm convinced there is a 'ghost in the shell', I just don't want it.

But then fooling humans into believing that about a robot dog is kinda your point I suppose. I just don't see the need other than some tech cos profit, and I find replacing a real dog with a contrived copy a bit cold.
The idea with badges is awesome! Kind of like a trusted traveler program, but for sysops.

As far as I can remember, Dead Cells specifically was made using Heaps[1], which the creator of Haxe himself made. Paper's Please uses OpenFL[2] instead. I'd say the Language has quite a few good libraries and frameworks to work with. The Haxe site itself lists a few others too [3] at the very bottom of the page. My advice would be to look at some sample code or documentation and see which one strikes you as either the most interesting or the most practical.

This was an incredibly useful resource in my DOS development days. Good times.
I wonder if this will push some people to sell exploits on the black market instead.
It's cherry picking season
> So, a professor of epistemology solve the problem estimating his priors from how he feels about the issue, an argument from authority (because he didn't bother to check if Mr.West get his facts right) and selecting only the evidence that fits his theory. Wonderful.

If there were alternative explanations that were plausible, sure. But they tend to invoke conspiracy theories, aliens, or alternative physics. Maybe other explanations will come around that are plausible, but it is reasonable to settle on the boring, seemingly plausible explanations for now. That's not an argument from authority.
Hey, just a random spectator here. I'm super interested in learning as much as I can about this stuff. (currently a math PhD student considering a career in hedge funds)

Are there any resources or books or anything you'd suggest checking out? Right now I'm definitely at an early "learn as much as possible" stage and would love to hear any suggestions you might have on how to get exposure to this world.

Thanks.
More hours don't translate directly to higher quality or higher output in creative fields. You might actually produce higher quality stuff if you work less. This is pretty well documented at this point
Wow, I may have to give Julia a try. I've been holding back because of that classic language issue "it doesn't have the libraries I like" but these performance numbers are impressive and hard to ignore.
There can be other mechanisms here. For example requiring a notification or 2FA before replacing a non Apple sourced iOS with something else. If your device is encrypted it should require the keys to install something new.

With this it might be easier to just “gift” someone the latest iPhone on which you installed an hardware exploit.
The problem still exists. You cannot permanently fix a digital certificate to a physical object. If I buy a real chip and a fake chip, I can still reattach the certificate to the fake chip and sell it to you and keep the real chip.

I think that 3d printing houses is going to be huge but it has a long way to go. They can print the main structure, but not do things like windows, plumbing, electric, trusses, roofs, etc. So a massive part of the construction is still manual.

When the entire building or almost the entire thing is truly automatic, that is going to be a game changer. Not saying it doesn't help now to be able to 3d print a lot of it. But it is in no way a fully automated construction at this point. So the economics are going to get dramatically better as the harder parts get automated.

> Won't comment on your first point because i think its pretty well documented by now, specially for the HN crowd. But if you really want to to go down into this rabbit hole..

I would. Where is this documentation of how Apple is deliberately (and arbitrarily) crippling and limiting what the hardware can do?

> Crippling and curbing the developer forcing the hand where he cannot use certain technologies or certain paths only to suit Apple monopolistic, control freak neurosis, will in the end damage the users, as he would not have access to goodies he would like and want to.

All you're doing here is illustrating that you do not understand consumer products, the iOS ecosystem, or the tradeoffs involved. You're thinking of Apple like PC vendors.

In reality, iOS products are consumer experiences where the hardware and software are implementation details. 99.99% of iOS users don't know or care how much RAM their device has. Most can't tell you what version of iOS they're running.

As a concrete example, Safari Web Extensions for iOS must be able to be unloaded at will. As a developer who doesn't understand "why", this obviously complicates their development for no apparent reason. For the developer who does understand, the need is obvious.
What cars were you leasing for $167/mo?
I thought that pseudo random referred to the way that the seed number was generated. Like, by sampling disk I/O metrics, thermometer readings, and mouse movements and combining them together. Pretty random, but still predictable in certain ways. If you wanted a truly random seed, you'd need to sample something the physicists say is actually random, such as cosmic microwave background radiation or certain subatomic processes following the uncertainty principle.

Did I learn wrong? Are all random numbers derived from an appropriate recursive function considered pseudo random, no matter how the seed was derived?
Yeah, blast furnaces aren't exactly carbon neutral.
Oh, you have your own interests at heart. Thanks for clarifying. I'll definitely trust the conspiracy theories now.
Agreed, and his argument ignores the market for a large proportion of counterfeit sales - not sold as originals, but sold as counterfeits, for substantially lower cost than the original.

Can you see a pattern in specific food/containing ingredients, eaten before your sugar spike?

Some people with type1 diabetes for example, react weird to specific ingredients they are sort of “allergic” to, making their glucose level spike, while for others the same ingredients cause no spike at all. These ingredients don’t even contain that much carbs/sugar that would explain a glucose spike.
But it's not like this tech device will have a lesser maintenance cost.

You have to replace your phone every few years, imaging that with a dog. Then think about the dollar and environmental cost of throw away tech devices.

Which includes 3 diabetes patients for comparison of hospitalised and non-hospitalised in Table figure 3.
When my first gen iPad was no longer able to keep up with the increasingly bloated web, I sold it and got a 3rd gen. Eventually that too succumbed to the increasing bloat.

The Safari tab reloading was one of the biggest problems. If I was writing an HN comment on the iPad and needed to look something up, I had to select my in progress comment, copy it, switch to Notes, and save it there just in case Safari decided to refresh the HN tab. If after my lookup, Safari did indeed refresh the tab and wipe out my comment, I'd try pasting. Sometimes that would work, but sometimes that was gone. Then it was off to Notes to grab the saved copy and paste it into Safari.

The iPad Pro was fairly new at this point, and I considered getting one but could not find anyone who could tell me if they ad improved memory handling enough to get rid of the issue. Instead, I went with a Microsoft Surface Pro 4. The browser situation wasn't the sole reason--I also wanted something with a stylus what would be good for writing math/physics/electronics notes, and I had seen several positive reviews by scientists and engineers of using OneNote and the Surface Pen for that.

Browsing on SP4 was great--I could have many tabs open and switch between them without losing anything. The Pen and OneNote worked well too.

However, I'm not sure I can recommend Surface Pro. I used it heavily for a couple years for browsing, reading PDFs, and taking notes. But then I took advantage of Comcast's baffling iPad offer [1] and got a 6th gen iPad.

The iPad quickly became my choice for light browsing. Later I got an Apple Pencil and the iPad took over most note taking (using the Notability app). (I just really need the electronic equivalent of paper with multiple ink colors and copy/paste, and so a simpler program that does that well is fine).

After a couple years of that, with the iPad used daily and the SP4 used less frequently--the SP4 battery is heavily degraded. I think part of this is because it is not obvious how to really turn an SP4 off so if you take a fully charged SP4 and don't use it for a week it will be significantly drained. So even if you are infrequently using it, you are still putting mileage on the battery.

At 4 years old, now my SP4 does not run very long off charger. An out of warranty battery replacement from Microsoft is something like $500.

My iPad battery is degrading much slower than my SP4 battery did. I'm confident it will be in way better shape when it reached 4 years old than the SP4 was. And if it isn't, an out of warranty iPad battery replacement from Apple is $99.

Anyway, if you need to do a lot of browsing in multiple tables using a tablet, and are OK with the power management issues I mentioned above, the Surface products might be worth a look.

[1] Comcast had an offer open for a while to most of their subscribers to get a 128 GB WiFi iPad for $5/month for 24 months (which you could pay off faster if you wished). That's $120, which was around 1/3 of what you'd expect to pay.
There are plenty of career hedge fund traders actively supporting this “conspiracy theory”.

One of the most well-known contributors at Superstonk is a former Citadel employee — he’s even spoken publicly about these events in an interview with CNBC. I think that makes him less of a “rando” than an otherwise-anonymous career hedge fund trader, who just happens to support your viewpoint.

There are experts on both sides. Nobody knows what’s going to happen. We’ll see!

I find the argument that vectorized code is more difficult to read weird. Having to write out the loops becomes tedious very quickly and does often significantly decrease readibility. Take for example the element wise multiplication of two 2d square arrays and compare that to the multiplication of an array and a transpose. In the loop the only difference is that the indices are flipped, easy to overlook in a quick read.

My biggest annoyance with Julia is however that they decided to follow matlab and do matrix operations by default and even worse use the '.' as the element wise operation modifier. From my own experience and from teaching many students, one of the primary source of issues is getting that wrong. I don't know how many times when debugging some weird matlab issue it was a matter of find the missing '.' they could have chosen any other symbol but instead the opted for the easiest one to overlook.
What every programmer should know about SSDs
I would think any general contact form that merely opens the conversation would be reasonable (mailto:hello@example.com?subject=how+to+contact+your+security+team) as would checking the major bounty websites for a listing -- not that you would be shopping for the bounty, but because that's where a receptive audience would already be listening for such reports

As for whether to publish a fixed vuln, I would guess that boils down to whether you value the blog traffic and any commentary enough to wade into that. In my mental model, so long as your research was your own, then you generated that content and have every right to talk about it, perhaps even inspiring other non-traditional security researchers to try their hand, too
On HN, success is merit-based unless you're Apple.
JIT compiled. Has a warmup time.
Sorry for the late response. Yes, there is certainly a trade off which must be made for the increased security.

Another possible way would be to use a rotatable key derivation algorithm, where you can provide the 12 word phrase plus a number n, and it will provide you a different wallet for each value of n. Of course the key derivation algorithm must be quantam secure for the security benefit to apply in this context.
