Oh that’s not going to be good.
Are you aligning yourself here to the "master's tools will never dismantle the master's house" and proposing we distrust the systems in our society?

So far we have preliminary reports and evidence. Ground penetrating radar helps identify where to dig. But we won’t know what’s down there - or why - until we expose it to daylight.

that's also 100% reliant on google though. what would happen if that became a lot more popular than it is now? would google try to sabotage it in any way?

Yes, same applies to DDG/Bing though.

This reminds me of my "Sketch to Art" project made in 2018: https://github.com/mtobeiyf/sketch-to-art

The idea is pretty much the same, except Nvidia is using a more complex model.

I guess Apple will counter by brining iOS apps to the Macintosh M1 systems?
Owning 3.5% after a acquisition by/merger with x.com, and raising $200M in funding is not anywhere near the same thing as owning 3.5% at the time of the Confinity founding (which is apparently why $0.001/share is valid?).
Isn't weird though that Quibi failed so hard to capitalize that
Yes. All apps in Android are spawned from the Zygote, but once started an app is free to call as much native code as it likes.

We tried to use B2 for storing image and video files. First byte out is very slow (as expected). We however experienced bigger issues where if you try to upload millions of files per minute in their system, it crumbles. Huge amount of errors were thrown and their support could not help.

We decided to stick with king of storage AWS S3.
No Propublica was being disingenuous. They note his total wealth, then took a snapshot in time of a single year, where he paid $0.5B in tax, ignoring his actual income of $1.5B

It’s like looking at a retiree and saying “you only paid $15,000 in taxes, but you have $1M in assets!!” ignoring that those assets were either already taxed or will be taxed in the future.

It’s really a bad article.
Well the hypothetical I was replying to presumably counted the hypothetical 1000 people at the end not the beginning of the hypothetical research.

But yes of course you can't start something complicated and know exactly how many people or how much budget will definitely be required, that's already true whether you're trying to develop groundbreaking nuclear technology, or building a bridge, or a computer game. That doesn't stop both capitalist and socialist initiatives being funded currently, it's just a complexity that needs to be dealt with as well as possible.
Apple is first here.
EOL is 3 years after purchase (if bought in 2015)? Just imagine a car and after 3 years no more spare parts? Personally everything below 10 years sounds ridiculous to me.
We should note Amazon's android store has been aimed at Fire tablets for years now (Amazon's phone was really a flash in the pan).

If you want to discuss financial shocks, and who has the upper hand in the US-China trade dispute, this along with the associated high degree of Chinese held US debt, is the real problem. Bloomberg write about this as an opportunity for China to liberalize its banking and cash asset policy. I look at it as a potential opportunity for China to alter the USD position worldwide. This is a lot of money to hold. It has to both advantage and disadvantage, depending on how its used.

Bitcoin and other digital funny money isn't what matters. This stuff matters.

Arriving at a point in time where you have to pull strategic-national-interest out of the bottom drawer suggests you didn't have your eyes on the emerging prize. The US has a habit of doing this: Consider the opposition to UN policy, and the proposed de-funding: What did it do? It created a power vacuum into which somebody else stepped. Somebody else now has all the influence, and its affecting world decision making. You can try to blame it on their polity, but in the end, if you got tired of your own national interest and spend to achieve it, creating the vacuum for them to occupy was your fault, not theirs.

I know thats not directly related to these holdings, but if somebody feels exposed to risk because Chinese banking holds USD, then ask yourself what aspects of policy led here. I think the answer is that both US and Chinese policy drives led here, you can't have one without the other basically.
Except I'm not doing ANY of that. Your comment is deceptively insulting and your tone is overly polite and fake. Case in point: "Hi shadowlight!".

Look, I remained impartial and neutral and civil in my comment. Read it carefully there is no violation of the rules, I've been here longer than you for sure so I know the rules and I know what constitutes a violation. This is NOT it.

No seriously, it's like a murderer accusing a nun of killing somebody. There is absolutely NONE of what you are claiming is going on here. It's almost an outright lie, I'm curious if you're just biased or if you're a liar.

Additionally who are you? Are you impersonating an admin? You're obviously NOT dang.

It's not written in the law nor is it in the the HN rules but walking around and pretending you're a cop is sketchy and strange. Especially when you're not even remotely qualified to do the job AND you're executing the directive incorrectly.

I'll help you differentiate between snark and no snark. This reply has a bit of snark because I'm talking to a vigilante HN cop, the OTHER reply was completely impartial and civil. That is the difference.

EDIT: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25162954

Look in the link above, another example of this guy trying and failing (he literally got scolded by dang) to enforce the rules when he's not even part of authority. I suggest you back off and use the tools given to you to moderate. Use the karma. Get to 800 and you can vote me down if you disagree.
Firebase and Heroku would fill that niche
I wonder how this happened. I mean, most of these devices are going to be behind NAT, which isn't perfect security but does mean the device has to basically go looking for trouble to get hacked.

I mean theoretically a vulnerable device on your network that doesn't actively seek out connections is risky but it shouldnt see this kind of total across the world compromise.
I've never heard of that one before, but it must be one of the most squatted domain phrases. There's like 20 versions just in top results and I could not figure out which one is official and which one just installs malware...

Your math is wrong.

(0.8 * 1.07) ^ 20 and (1.07 ^ 20) * 0.8, which are not equal. I'm assuming that 0.8 is the percentage after tax, 1.07 is the deposit, and 20 is the growth.
I've never heard of TPM, but I bought a Ryzen 5800x and a motherboard to match about six months ago. Is it likely I'll need to add hardware? Or just fiddle with the BIOS? Or will this just work as-is?

Ask HN: Did Reddit have content targeting algos in 2009?
Just curious if anyone knows how reddit targeting algos, if they existed at all, worked back in 2009.

In the scenario where a cookie'd and possibly de-anonymized user viewed the anonymous front page of reddit, did reddit have the capability at the time to customize the front page for specific users based on their identity?
In most countries you cannot be forced to take the vaccine. You can also probably consult your own doctor if you have any doubts.

The problem here is that you appear to fall in the group with medical conditions for which Covid poses a serious risk. The current vaccines can reduce that risk considerably.
If WD is gone, are you going to buy drives from Seagate, seriously? I've had 3 hard drives from Seagate just fail by itself before, 0 from WD so far. HGST used to be good, but sold to WD. I have no experience with Toshiba, but they have less product diversity and higher price.
Your link is merely about general child mortality rates, and has nothing to do with aboriginal populations. If you have no clue about the context involved when talking about mass murder, keep your mouth shut. There are certain topics where any whiff of denial is completely unacceptable.
But lifetime is evidently not as long as the device lasts, as we see with Microsoft. Plenty of XP machines are still alive out there and they have long been out of support. So while Apple does provide a lot of support for older devices seemingly, how much are they legally/contractually required to provide currently?
Nothing wrong with neo-liberal stances. I'll take that over the progressive left who seem to have missed every Econ class when they went to college (and operate exclusively on identity politics, like you)
It wasn't just the White House though. The whole reason there is this resurgence of the issue 18 months after the fact is that all of the people asking the question who weren't Donald Trump crazy, were treated like they were.

I genuinely worry about all the people that believed it was a conspiracy theory, and still think they are on team science. They aren't.
So your argument is “things aren’t perfect in the US, so the US has no right to claim its approach is better”?

That’s an absurd statement. That’s like saying “well people still die of cancer with modern medicine so you can’t criticize my use of essential oils to treat my brain tumor”.

Based on childhood mortality alone, let alone any other measures of childhood development, the current western approach is objectively the far better one.
Are you saying you've claimed your listing, meaning Google has set you as the owner, and it was still possible for some rando to make changes?
I recently switched to the 465 driver (on Ubuntu 20.04) and had issues: try downgrading back to 460 if you're in the same boat.
The whole "crypto is tulip mania" is getting pretty tired. It may be greatly overvalued, but it isn't useless, nor is it valueless.

Distributed trust is useful, especially when you can't trust the issuers of a currency / security. I trust crypto like BTC a lot more than I trust the Federal Reserve. Perhaps you disagree, but value is assigned by the users, not the non-users
I suggest rolling backups. Tapes are also a possibility, as they can be written in append-only mode.

Just remember that ransomware will encrypt any drive you hook up to it, including your backup drives. A physical write-enable will prevent that, and it should be disabled anytime you are restoring from backup.

I want a write-enable switch even for simple tasks like copying one drive to another, just so I don't mistakenly copy the wrong direction.

Isn't that backward? The question is, should people be free to make their own choices and live their own lives? I don't care about countries, I care about people.

Wow. This is the ultimate IoT failure scenario, the product is in use but no longer supported and an exploit can hit it from the Internet.

I suspect there will be litigation, but I am not a lawyer. I will be interested to see it though, what is the responsibility for using things post end-of-life? What we might see is a new “your on your own” mode built into this sort of appliance that once EOL hits it asks you to affirmatively indicate that you know it is no longer supported and any further use comes at your own risk.

It is also another great case study for open source NAS devices, like the TrueNAS line, that you can patch even if iXSystems goes away.
But how do I write backup data to the drive without having to slip a switch every hour?
they should stop phoning home if the device is end of life.
I am thinking if this Nvidia Canvas and the Apple Object Capture Capture [1] [2] will make Graphics or 3D Modelling cheaper or taking much less time. Instead of using tools on the computer which was never really good enough for human creation, they now create photos, painting, or models in real world and scan it in a computer for further editing.

Regarding using your work laptop for personal stuff, there is a very important security aspect to it I've not seen many people be careful about.

When installing any software such as applications, or as developers, dependencies for your programming language of choice you're always at risk of installing something that once executed would for example grab your ssh keys and push them to a server somewhere, or all your environment variables, etc,etc.

So, if that happens when doing normal work, it sucks, it's bad, but you were doing your job the best you could.

What I think it should be unacceptable is for this to happen when you're working on your own side projects or your personal stuff.

To avoid this, as everyone suggest, don't use your work laptop, but if you do (example: while traveling, or because your work laptop is more powerful, etc) just create a separate user account on it. Just this simple thing will provide a lot more security and protect your company from a lot of security issues.
That’s seems like an unreasonable conclusion.

If productivity is driven by industries with no minimum wage workers, why would the benefit of that productivity pass to them?
Dungeon Alchemist seems really cool (I'm a backer), but I'm not entirely sure that it is related. DA is basically procedurally generated furnishing (with a few params), but it doesn't create 3D models from what I understand, it "just" shuffles around furniture.
True, it's definitely not different in that aspect -- nickel and diming is certainly not new.

> But, as long as this doesn't turn into a subscription model. I don't really see the analogy to SaaS.

As long as it doesn't! It's also fully possible that the sum-total of changes that this future Tesla is pioneering will be a consumer positive, will be interesting to see how it turns out.
Real estate comes with its own set of problems.

First is the large capital outlay as compared with a small web project, which means many more eggs are in that one basket.

Second is the slow turnover, which means that you may be waiting for years for a good property (since if it's a good property, there are only a few situations where the owner would sell), and if you choose poorly, you will be stuck with the poor property for many years (as no one would want to buy it).

Third is you will still have to watch out for your property becoming irrelevant, for example for a retail store, either due a downturn in the trendiness of the neighborhood driving out business, or perhaps undesirable construction in the area (e.g. a mall across the street that takes all your foot traffic).

Really the safest way to invest in real estate is through REITs, where the risk is spread across many properties.
That's so interesting. I tried to learn Windows Explorer shortcuts but I could never get the kind of fluency I had with OS X Finder. For example, I had to use a mouse to select a file in order to change the name, but I was able to do it with a keyboard exclusively in MacOS X. Also, I was never able to master the File Explorer's layout where they had the entire file tree in one pane and then the specific directory contents in the other. I always found Finder in MacOS X easier to manipulate: I could jump through the different views easil (command-1,2,3,4). Granted, the column view was very inconsistent, but I found the other views "just worked" the way I thought about them.
Unity is mostly programmed in C#. It's a good way to start developing games. Unreal Engine and C++ are used for many AAA titles, but it's a harder world than Unity.

There are some game engines in Rust for simpler 3D games. I haven't tried them. 2D games seem to be well supported in Rust. I'm working in Rust, writing a client for a virtual world, and I have to say that the 3D graphics ecosystem for that kind of thing in Rust is not quite there yet. I'm using bleeding edge packages (Rend3->WGPU->Vulkan) where I'm in regular contact with the developers. I'm doing it this way mostly because I want to see if I can get better performance than the existing single-thread C++ client, which is compute-bound in the main thread.
It will be interesting to see if these kind of cases increase once we move to IPv6 and no longer have NAT protecting us.
Nothing in the article says he lives there full time. I'm willing to bet he has long term rentals and just sold off all his property in a hot market with plans to re-buy when things cool off.

I know several non-wealthy people who just did the same thing with their houses.
Good. Laypeople need to be weary of IoT crap.
This strikes me as a very likely theory. Once people have their basic needs met, a huge part of what they end up spending their money on is essentially social status. This societal strategy cuts out the middleman and just awards social status directly. It's also often been remarked that, for example, Silicon Valley is very lenient in terms of social status on people with failed startups. Conversely, in Germany, for example, a failed business is often considered a black mark socially, and you correspondingly see far lower start rates for high risk businesses.
It could be, but most practical FHE are ridiculously slow and not usable past trivial data sizes. It would be cool if they published some numbers for cupcake.

Looking at an older paper: https://eprint.iacr.org/2011/405.pdf "Homomorphic addition is essentially instantaneous (i.e., takes less than 1 ms), whereas homomorphic multiplication takes about 41 ms".

My run (with decyption disabled because it didn't compile):

test encrypt_pk ... bench: 619,097 ns/iter (+/- 38,166)
test encrypt_sk ... bench: 540,205 ns/iter (+/- 40,429)
test encrypt_zero_pk ... bench: 576,200 ns/iter (+/- 39,531)
test homomorphic_addition ... bench: 21,842 ns/iter (+/- 1,088)
test rerandomize ... bench: 591,631 ns/iter (+/- 23,246)

So 21us for addition - that's getting into a reasonable territory, but may be close to the result from the paper. Multiplication doesn't seem to be supported yet.
Productivity doesn’t determine wages. Supply and demand does.
I think the issue here is "end of life" is defined way too soon for portable hard drives. The mechanical parts have a 4% annual failure rate, or a half-life of 12.5 years. The software should be supported for that long.
Sure, but we’re not making general statements.
This one is.

> There's really no winning with this.

There is: don't release devices with security flaws in the first place. The fact is, they released a fatally flawed device. That the flaw was discovered later doesn't change that fact.

I think the way we talk about security patches and updates obscures the fact that they're correcting fundamentally flawed software. In other circumstances, this would result in product recalls. Those financial incentives are a big reason why product recalls for serious faults are fairly rare in other types of products.
Whenever two people have conflicting absolute rights, who's right is more absolute?

That's why rights are always relative. The Bill of Rights is a good starting place, but any law should pass the common sense/reasonableness standard - we already make many [reasonable, common-sense] exceptions to the right to free speech (i.e. shouting Fire! in a theatre for a cliche example, or incitement to violence)
What magical place do you live that ignores NIMBYs? Here in Boston, a "neighborhood committee" stopped a taco shop under a dorm from staying open until 2AM because it might "disturb the students" somehow. Needless to say none of the students were actually at this meeting, only random busybodies who lived blocks away.

I'm experimenting with using AWS Workspaces. Given that I can do so much of my work using other AWS tools (and other cloud services) I don't need much power. I haven't tried this yet, but it appears that I could make a bundle for a base system, setup a client from a base and then create a new bundle for work with that client?

The Senate's comprehensive report on the Capitol attack [0], released earlier this month, appears to exonerate Trump in deployment of the National Guard. In fact, his acting Secretary of Defense (to whom deployment authorization was delegated) suggested locking down DC ahead of time, but city officials demurred.

>Mainly since White Americans are still the majority and by and large supporters of the right, I don't see movements like BLM gaining much power.

You'd be surprised. Most violent actors who call themselves antifa are white, especially in the Pacific Northwest [1]. During last summer's Portland courthouse siege, a white BLM/antifa rioter stabbed a black Trump supporter in the stomach [2]. This stabbing wasn't reported in outlets like NPR or the Washington Post, even as they praised rioters and criticized the police response.
