Fyi they used deepfake AI to have him say various things. Apparently it's not clear in the doc where it's a fake and where it's the doc makers guessing what he might say.

If ask me pretty disturbing the producers claim to know him and his mind so well that they're comfortable speaking for him.
To complicate things further, it's hard to put an end date on things. Take Egypt for example. Even after it got conquered by Alexander it still remained an important Civilization. Yes the ruling class spoke Greek, but important legacies that Egypt gave to the world come from this era (the great lighthouse of Alexandria comes to mind). Was this still Egypt? Technically historians count the Ptolemaic as the last dynasty.

We give things names, we build frames around things to better organize the knowledge, and for a good reason! But oftentimes the reality, as lived through in the moment, is far more blurred and messy.
That surely must be one of the most produced watches ever by now.
I doubt they will be successful, but they should be observed closely.
>You’re either driving a really nice new car, a deeply unsatisfying new car, or a very old used car.

I am not old enough to know what car buying was like 20 years ago but the market in many way seems fine the way it goes now. I could not buy a near but I bought a used car that was 3 years old and had 40k miles on it. I wouldn't call that "very old". It was really nice and fresh feeling imo and I'll probably drive it until 150k before selling it for another previously leased car.
There are countless examples all around the world as we speak, but some people, mostly "occidentals", are stuck in bubbles full of assumptions and theories. Maybe it's denial, as mentioned.
> I think because I was so young I absolutely knew it was totally possible to do, I was fully determined and without consulting any professionals I had no barrier stopping me.

IMO, this is the mindset of greatness to come. So many who have failed before us are quick to proclaim the impossible. Time and time again humans have displayed that the impossible may in fact be nothing more than a lack of imagination.
> I thought the primary argument against it was that the alternative is unemployment.

Which is utterly insane when you think about it. The current minimum wage is practically unlivable, and it's supposed to be a good thing for people to make even less just to box-check "employed"?

At least if you're unemployed, it's theoretically possible to put your energies into learning something to get a better job, but impossible to do that if you're burning all your energy for little more than pocket money.

The only people who'd gain from a lower minimum wage are employers, who'd have the opportunity to exploit cheaper labor.
A few months ago one of the major Croatian news channels did an interview with a Croatian chef that was a host of Anthony Bourdain in Croatia while filming "No Reservations".
Amongst other things they talked about Anthony and his stay there. One of the things the Croatian chef said about A.B, that kind of stuck with me, is how different he was off camera and on camera.
Off camera he was very quiet and kept to himself until he would have few glasses of wine. His theory was that A.B was an 'introvert' acting to be an 'extrovert' and that (according to this chef's opinion) must have been taking a toll on him all these years.
But interventions can also cause societal collapse. If you don’t know what you are doing don’t do anything since action can be worse than inaction.
I don’t think it’s misleading, they have removed funding and suspended work.

Could they start again in the future? Sure, but in practical terms removing funding and stopping people from working on a project indefinitely is the same as cancelling. This is just corporate-speak, which requires translation - if removing funding, staff, research space and equipment and stopping all work indefinitely isn’t cancelling something, what extra steps are required for cancelling something?

The different neural approach is reading signals from muscles in your arms, so it’s definitely not the brain-speech interface they were talking about, but the fact they say it’s closer to market will placate investors.
The "a technological solution" crowd isn't looking for something that requires lots of money to roll out, like renewable energy.
> How did you exactly break Debian multiple times?

Alas, I can't remember exactly what happened but it was the late 1990s/early 2000s - no crazy stuff involved, just things getting confused / crashing whilst doing updates and leaving things half-arsed and broken.
History shows us that greedy people end up with their heads on sticks. Even when they have armies to protect them. It doesn’t take a lot to regress to that again.
Because it's pretty expensive and time consuming to build and people really don't like to have a nuclear power plant near them.
I would generally agree, but i guess the point is, extrapolating about production/growth/pollution when fossil oil was introduced probably failed to account for technological change driving economic and industrial change.

We can measure global warming, it is happening, and we know what drives it right now. We should at least try to model what kind of change would fix it. Including new technologies.
I've had hours of discussions with Azure support patiently explaining to them that using the PSL is the incorrect way to verify domains for certificates.

I had to create a cert like: "dev.app.org.dept.nsw.gov.au"

They dutifully looked up the "owner" of this domain using the PSL and incorrectly determined that it should be "nsw.gov.au". That's a state, not a department. Secondly, that specific registration is managed by a different super-department that has never heard of me, my app, or the "org" that it is actually managed by.

For contrast, Let's Encrypt correctly verifies management of the FQDN, not some bizarre "TLD+1" that can't be reliably identified. Worse, even if it could be magically identified reliably, it's still wrong! The entire point of the Domain Name System is to delegate ownership hierarchically for scalability.

You can't have some random DevOps guy pestering a completely separate team on the other side of the planet in a Mega Corp for certificate validation! That just doesn't work at scale. It works for "myfirstblog.io", which is the only thing Azure ever uses for their tests and demos, however.

I'm informed that this misfeature is "working as designed", which means that all but one NSW Government department can never use automatically issued Azure certificates... by design.

Most markets aren't particularly "free". Agriculture for example is heavily subsidized.
Databases are providing greater native functionalities which will reduce our efforts in writing boilerplate code.

But the underlying SQL gets complex and it gets harder to maintain high-performance code - or hire good engineers.

This has made me intrested in EdgeDB [1]. They are abstracting the high-performance SQL bit from the engineer by introducing a new query language EdgeQL [2].

You can think of EdgeQL and EdgeDB to be the next step in abstraction just like how we have many programming languages, that did just that for machine code and beyond. You may be able to write high performance assembly, but it's tiresome and may not lead to high performance. Also a better UX for the engineer (eg: Kotlin on JVM) improves time to market and overall better for the ecosystem.

I think it's excessively greedy who end up on sticks. Moderately greedy are doing just fine...
There logically have to be lots of Tonies like this. I think people can move across whatever that spectrum of introversion and extroversion is, but for people who are truly introverted and prefer solitude but also really like people, it can be hard to balance because your internal and external lives are inherently different.
That fits with someone I knew. He used to be interested in any apocalyptic movement, like the 2020 end of the world. He was never extreme, but he will talk about them time to time.

In his case the motivation was he had a degenerative disease. So, I can understand that for him the inevitable end was very real. I still think of him as a reasonable person in unreasonable circumstances.
No, there is not. Loading times from SATA SSD and NVMe SSD is basically the same. Look for example at https://www.techspot.com/review/2116-storage-speed-game-load... - In all loading time benchmarks there is a huge spike for the HDD, and then a minimal difference of ~1 second or less between the slowest SATA SSD and the the fastest NVMe SSD. Note that this includes PCI-E 4.0 SSDs.

Sure, might change in the future, but no game right now uses the future APIs (direct storage) that might lead to bigger differences. Which is no surprise, as Windows 10 does not support it.
Not even that is a given. It would be easy for defence contractors to form a cartel forbidding any of its members to let the customer do the repairs.
Kubernetes API and Feature Removals in 1.22: Here’s What You Need to Know
I'm 99% sure this is the movie I've been trying to re-find for over a decade. I had this strangest memory of watching a movie while very young that involved hands and a large number but I could never find it.

This is why, of all the ad based companies, I like Pinterest best. It's basically a digital magazine. You show up and say, "I'd like to see pictures of cute wicker baskets, and mid-century modern couches please!" and they deliver.
I don't think people cares so much about US recognition of the vaccine. AZ has been very unpopular to be honest. Many countries are donating AZ away while their vaccination program are still running. But it is still good for poor countries, we don't have much choice anyway.

Ask HN: Cage around bed to survive building collapse?
In lieu of the condo collapse in Miami and floods Germany I wonder how to protect oneself from being killed while sleeping.

Is it feasible to have some kind of metal cage around the bed? The idea is that the cage would leave you with a pocket of air and also shield you from parts of ceiling crushing you.

What other ideas do you have and what were your findings when doing further research?
"C++ was ruled out as no fun""

I'm disappointing with the author for not trying Modern C++ for himself instead trusting the "others".

I trusted the "others" (Eg Linus and Richard Kenneth Eng) and missed JavaScript and C++ for so long.

Now, I use both of them. Never trust "others". Try yourself and you will see how amazing those languages are.

You fought with borrower checker with Rust but in C++ you don't have to.

With Zig, you have to manage the memory manually but with C++ you don't have to thanks to the RAII

If you went with C++, you probably have saved several hours of your time.

Zig is cool but I am not gonna to use it near time soon unless they add overloading.

I understand they want to keep the language simple. But this same simplicity itself gonna to hurt the language in future when used in large applications.

"what you read is what you get" is what actually failed C in large applications. It's impossible to know everything in whole world. We have to learn to appreciate abstractions.
Quoth the OP:

> There is no state, county or city in the country where a full-time, minimum-wage worker working 40 hours a week can afford a two-bedroom rental, a report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition showed.

That includes SF, and it includes some unfashionable place you've probably never heard of where the rent is literally the cheapest in the nation.

This probably isn't the right thread to beat the dead horse of SF NIMBYism and push fantasies of a one-size-fits all solution of densely-packed 20 story concrete apartment blocks.
> For Delta, long term support they can count on for years will surely matter.

Of course, so why even involve the pilot at all if his App idea was obvious and he could never hope to provide the services required by Delta? Clearly at least some delta managers thought they would get some value out of those meetings.
Whilst I think the deepfaking of his voice is ethically sketchy, they did at least a) get permission from the family and b) (apparently) only use it on words he had actually written (like emails, etc.)

(I say 'apparently' because whilst one use for it was confirmed as reading an email, the producer seems to be refusing to clarify where the other deepfaked audio is.)
So zig doesn't support 64bit arithmetics on 32/16/8bit architectures? What about division? Quite a few hardware don't support division( https://community.arm.com/developer/ip-products/processors/b...).

Why would operator overloading allocate memory? The memory is already allocated(by the user) when you call with the operands.

> Participating in 2019 ICFPC taught me one thing: it’s hopeless to do number-crunching and brute-forcing in anything but C/C++/Rust.

Except the first price column clearly shows that is false.

It is quite obvious it was more a skill of the developer getting the first prize than the language itself.
> How is it unrelated? A noxious branch is exactly something that many or most people would consider abhorrent and perceive as not in good faith.

Because that quote fundamentally discusses cases where pruning said noxious branch is a risk to non-noxious branches.

Sometimes you can just prune a noxious branch and that's that.

On the assumption that it's expensive (I don't know if it's true or not, but upofadown said so explicitly and you didn't contradict them), the win is saving that expense. Obviously if you can reduce the blast radius for free then you do so, but if it's not free then it's reasonable to ask how big the difference between one message/several messages/a week's worth of messages is in your threat model.
I wonder who is crazy enough to develop against anything Azure.

In the name of security® that enables industrial espionage, MS relies on their auth process MSAL, which relies on oauth. That itself isn't the problem, but if you want to interface an app like Teams, you have to register your app and describe to MS what it does. Only then the API endpoint on your tenant gets activated. Personally I stopped some side projects, because the hassle just isn't worth it.

If I compare this to the AWS, this is just too much busywork. And of course I would expect MS to charge for logins at some point.
I'd take that bet.
Great work finding this out, it was really fascinating read. Just wondering how do you publish compromised package to npm? CDN had to install some npm package right? Publishing some package is easy, but how do you publish something that is downloaded by Cloudflare? If it is so easy to publish compromised npm package and it ends up in cloudflare CDN it is quite scary, even if underlying security loophole related to overriding paths by tar is fixed.

In Norway I think the rule is often "is aware of it or should have been aware of it".

> I haven't heard of Google being sued when play store cards are used by fraud victims.

Banks try to prevent cards from being abused and I guess Google try to. For example when someone tried to buy jewelry in an American store with my stolen card number the card was immediately locked.

Sometimes something slips through though and banks won't be held accountable for that.

The difference here is that there is no way GitHub cannot be aware that people upload personal projects from EU and copies of open source projects etc without agreement from the copyright holder. Besides the easily missed clause in the terms there is nothing to prevent it. Now if they'd done any reasonable effort to inform about it: a couple of blog posts over the years, a "Please note:" banner, even mentioning it in discussions here on HN before doing this that would have counted to their defense.

As far as I am aware no such thing happened.
In this video focused on developers (https://youtube.com/watch?v=5Q_C5KVJbUw at 5:54) they mention they are working with BattlEye and EAC to get it working prior to Steam Deck release.
In my experience EAC was the reason that many games that were otherwise perfectly fine became broken because of anti cheat. This should make a huge difference.
It's funny considering how USA intensely finance and prepare coups and revolutions all over the world. I'm from one ex-USSR country and living in another ex-USSR country. It happened several times right in front of my eyes.

USA funds several media outlets so that they publish a precisely mixed mash of truth and lies. People mindlessly consume the mash and start to get a feeling they live in an imperfect society that can be very easily improved ("just get rid of your current president and you'll start living awesome life the same moment! it's so easy, folks! no other effort required").

Then they start publishing a real recipes for starting a turmoil (via figures like notoriously known Navalny).

Then, when the coup fails, USA start pressuring: "It's an agression against democracy! It was a peaceful protest! Sanctions! Sanctions! Sanctions!" (if the coup succeeds, the only result is that people start living in worse conditions - check Arab Spring countries or any other country where color revolution succeeded - they're doing much worse economically and in all other areas of life, including "democracy").

When the protest which was much milder happened in the US itself, it's suddenly "totally different thing".

BTW, just this week mercenaries from USA trained in USA killed president of Haiti.

What a bunch of hypocrites...
Zurich, Switzerland. It is one of the best places to live now and probably still will be in 2050, I guess.
> non-continuous functions

I think the step function doesn't depend on choice. Say f(x) = 0 if x < 0 and f(x) = 1 if x >= 0. Also, suppose we define the reals through Dedekind cuts. We can define f(x) by checking whether 0 is an element of x as a cut. We can prove f is discontinuous in the usual way.

What I had heard is that Brouwer proved, using some kind of constructive/intuitionistic logic, that every function is continuous, but ZF is still based in classical logic. I believe the step function is not definable constructively.

Second try, having calmed down a little:

Yes, sure, he's run off to some country that has no extradition (and which conveniently for him also happens to be his native country). But still: So what -- why is this feted in international media, and not condemned? Other criminals that hare off to avoid extradition are not written up as heroes, are they? Or should they be?

The only two exceptions that come to mind are

a) Ronnie Biggs -- but the semi-cultish veneration this simple (and by all accounts rather bumbling) train robber received from large parts of the British public is, AIUI, now mostly (and IMO quite rightly) regarded as misguided; and

b) Edward Snowden. But he blew the whistle on important wrongdoings by a superpower's military -- he did not commit any crime for personal gain.

What Ghosn did was the exact opposite: cooking corporate bookkeeping, fiddling his taxes, and generally enriching himself. He is, AFAICS, just a modern-day John DeLorean, only on a much grander scale. So I still really, really just don't get it: YTF is this so widely reported on in such approving tones? He's a criminal evading justice. Surely this ought to be deplored, not revered?
