The article clearly says it was the first such occurrence. Also, it’s not clear this really was swatting, in that nobody was endangered: the police didn’t storm the house.
Still, it makes sense to take the chances for another 500 years, work on making our lives on planet Earth more habitable and sustainable and then invest in space faring tech.

The chances of being wiped out by a super volcano or asteroid impact over the next 500 years until we solved the sustainable energy problem and a stable ecosystem are rather small.

Setting up a confidential multi-stakeholder AI inference service
Everytime I look into B2B software space (I am a complete outsider, btw), I see that here and there always pop up some new company, offering something similar to competitors and what can be stiched together using open source (and almost free, not counting the support) tools. How these companies thrive? Why customers keep buying new stuff, when there are solutions already to most of the business neeeds out there (and even free ones!).
Is this still the case of idiot-managers doing decisions like "nobody was fired for buying IBM" (and now SAP, salesforce, <yourcompany>) or am I not seeing something? Genuine qustions, really interested.

On top of the other responses, I don't think the two sources use comparable data to begin with. The first source says that there were ~2m acres burned in both of 1991 and 1992, whereas the latter peaks at 100 k/ha, which converts to about 240k acres, nowhere near 2m.
They’re not exploring, they’re creating private, for profit, ventures. Your comparison doesn’t hold.

It's never been confirmed that the language of chess is the reason the channel was flagged. It's all speculation. A fishing channel being taken offline due to hate speech, for example, is a boring story. The same thing happening to a chess channel is much juicier due to the implication that an AI accidentally flagged the words "black" and "white" as racist. There are a lot of reasons to be outraged by that idea, but it's important to remember that it may not have happened.

The rest of the Western world (yes Russia should be counted as part of it) seems to have become obsessed with the evils of Russia ever since the Russian Revolution, probably because it's a threat to the capitalist system dominating elsewhere.

>"What makes a Radio Signal faster than Light? - Erich Erdmann

Although it is primarily based on theory, we believe that the reason why a radio signal moves with the speed of
light is because the magnetic and electrostatic force lines are at right angle to their direction of travel and
furthermore both force fields also somehow interact with one another.

In other words it is the right angle thing
which prevents the signal from moving faster than light.

This would mean, that if we want the radio signal to move faster than light, we would have to somehow make use
of either force fields on it’s own in order to prevent the two fields from interacting with one another, and last not
least, the force lines should be longitudinal, not perpendicular. In our case we chose the electrostatic field and used a metal sphere to generate the field to avoid any unwanted electrical discharges usually associated with
sharp edges."

PDS: Disclaimer: I don't know that I believe this; but then again, I don't know that I don't... <g>

That however, does not stop the underlying material, true or false, real or unreal -- from being interesting, highly interesting!

Also, the authors suggest various experiments that can be done to replicate (or perhaps repudiate, as the case may be!) their findings...

I for one, am very hopeful that they might have discovered something!

(Also, why do these Faster-Than-Light antennas (if they work) -- look strangely like Tesla Coils? <g>)

How JavaScript Works: dockerizing a Node.js application
I'm so happy to see a thread on Windows Defender, because my org recently switched antivirus software and I can't wait to tell you how bad it is !

There's a hidden feature in Defender, that will delight any user : it can turn your 15" MacBook Pro into a full breakfast machine. Want pancakes ? Start a zoom call.

While you wait for your favorite video conference app to start, don't hope to finish your docker pull/save/build in less than 30 times its usual time.

I just read the article (shamefacedly seeking confirmation bias - I wanted to say "Oracle bad") - but I ended up agreeing with her main points:
1) most of the "third party security researchers" customers were hiring were blindly running tooling and the FP rate was near 100%
2) They had found and were working on 87% of genuine issues
3) (and I don't 100% agree here) - the license agreement forbids decompiling the source code because IP. OK fair point (grudgingly admitted) but I take issue with "a contract freely entered into" - you have to accept the tos/eula if you want to use the product. Not entirely freely entered into...

All in all, I thought it was a balanced and well written post - much better than the usual corporate effluent (

Thanks! So the main concern seems to be autoimmune disease?

> Overall, the robust inflammatory milieu induced by LNPs, combined with presentation of the vaccine-derived peptides/protein outside of antigen-presenting cells, might cause tissue damage and exacerbate side effects. Since self-antigen presentation in an inflammatory environment has been linked to autoimmune disease development (Charles A Janeway et al., 2001), this merits further investigation, albeit not detected here.

Because short term inflammation is, as far as I know, not a big deal and somewhat desirable for vaccinations? It is my understanding that we intentionally mix in inflammatory substances ("adjuvants") with normal vaccines to kick the immune system into action?
> The popularity of the service makes human moderation impossible, creating a need for inevitably-flawed robots

That's true, but we might be able to improve things with a bit more human moderation.

For instance facebook is insanely profitable. They could probably increase their staffing for moderation by a pretty decent multiple and still be very profitable.

So the current state of moderation is not strictly a matter of need, it's also a matter of greed in terms of Facebook wanting to automate away jobs they could pay people to do. And given the state of online discourse, it's a decision we're all paying for.

So instead put power in the hands of giant companies because regular people can’t be bothered to not get hot-and-bothered by reading something they don’t like? What makes these companies so morally pure?

The only way this can make sense - especially on HN - is if the people who advocate for company control of regular peoples’ lives work at these companies.

Perth's metropolitan region in Western Australia has the largest percentage of underground power in the world. Granted, a large portion is in suburban areas and I suspect entirely in the distribution network not the transmission network. It's climate is very similar to much of California.

Power infrastructure on this magnitude requires an extraordinary amount of capital investment to set up. Who takes on their debt? The operating expenses for asset management and maintenance of a mature network are eyewatering when compared to their underground counterparts as there is a lot more numerous and frequent replacement activity for parts. Pole infrastructure may have a life span of 10-15 years but some parts will be replaced out every 3-5. Before you know it you pay for every pole 4 times over it's life. Now multiply that by several hundred thousand poles in a large network and then you start to get the picture. I'm not trying to be an apologist but I'm surprised from what I hear of American infrastructure that it's not a far more regular occurrence.

Render lag and lossyness is part of it, but there's more.

I've had a fair bit of experience with large book archives (university libraries), and have a pretty good sense of what "a million books" looks like (a large on-campus multi-storey building might house 1--5 million books). There's a physical progression, from the words on a page (~250 typewritten, about 500 typeset), to pages in a chapter, chapters in a book, books on a shelf, bookcase, aisle, library floor, building, campus, etc.

A well-organised library gives structure to navigating that space, logically, metaphorically, and literally. And there's a lot of hard work that goes into that organisation.

Simply tossing a 3-D overlay onto a file manager ... isn't that. And most of the projects I've encountered either don't realise that, or don't give that fact its due.

For that matter, the concepts of search and locality (as in, works near each other) have entirely different manifestations online and in a physical archive. Shelf-reading is still one of my favourite pastimes.
