I've been seeing this on a few posts recently -- A quiet thread will show up again a couple days later on the front page. All the comments from the original thread are still there, but with new timestamps. I was speculating that it is a new way to give some posts a second chance to get more attention and discussion.
The article demonstrate that the only country in Europe that successfully reduce homelessness is Finland. And they do it by providing free housing. In other words, real world imperial proof that your argument doesn’t hold water. Now there is a 99.99% chance that my point will just make you believe what you say even more. However there is always a tiny chance that it might make you reflect on your core believes and help you readjust those believes to be closer to reality.

My vague recollections of high-school chemistry is that ferrous salts tend to be green and soluble, and can be oxidized to insoluble reddish ferric compounds by atmospheric oxygen - hence bog iron [1]

I don't suppose this implies Mars had free oxygen at some point, but it would be fascinating if it did.

Since I can't think of any practical solutions that wouldn't run afoul of the First Amendment, what about one that does:

The 117th Congress compels Facebook to become to a 501(c)(1/3/30). When this inevitably ends up before the Supreme Court, use the reams of public (We have to do better) and private (dumb *****) statements regarding Facebook's mission to support the statute.

There isn't any commercial or open-source mobile without security flaws. Given the importance of iOS it's no wonder it's under scrutiny by attackers, just like Windows was (is) while Apple was memeing a virus free Mac OS. That wasn't the case, it's just MacOS was a mostly irrelevant target.
Wikipedia/wiktionary is an amazing resource for pronunciations if you can read IPA (or refer to their guides). It’s not a perfect solution but it’ll get you closer than just guessing until you get an opportunity to actually talk to the person. I’ve had great success with it for Irish names.
A lot of social gatherings involve drinking, especially in the earlier parts of your life (like college). If you have the right friend group and/or are more of a social butterfly, you can get by without drinking, but it definitely helps a lot with bonding.
Precision is P(T|R), where R is the event that a thing is reported, and T is the event that the thing is true. By Bayes' rule, P(T|R) = P(T)/(1+Pfa/Pd). So in terms of the traditional statistics Pd and Pfa, it is proportional to the base rate.
Has there ever been an example of that failing in history? I'm not sure you can find any historical situation that's close enough to this one to make a good analogy, especially because hydrogen isn't even a good fuel to start with.

> Even with lots of money, I think that’s a story of how to go bankrupt.

Well on a pure product/market basis they probably never should have made these hydrogen cars at all.
Agreed. Taleb coined this the “ludic fallacy”:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludic_fallacy

“… the focus on those pure, well-defined, and easily discernible objects like triangles, or more social notions like friendship or love, at the cost of ignoring those objects of seemingly messier and less tractable structures.”
Even if the benefits are real (which is really dubious as most observational studies should be carefully reviewed!), most important is this:

> Ding cautioned that non-drinking individuals should not be encouraged to take up light drinking because of known adverse effects on other health outcomes, such as cancers.
This is excellent! I love the branding. There's such a niche for this sort of thing. I used to feel like I didn't "fit it" at most companies, because I tend to be such a generalist and resist being typecast. I can see this as super empowering for many folks.
These types of studies seem to flip flop every so often to allow anyone to justify what they want to do instead of being open to learning to take a look at improving any behaviour they may have.
Except, if there is XSS, its usually in user submitted data, like a post. You wouldn't type in your password on a user post or alert box. And the login page is usually on a different page altogether, by itself.
This is true, especially after the standard deduction nearly doubled for most in 2017.
Doesn't the Pinephone, HN's favorite mobile device, use Allwinner SoCs?
How about hot swappable batteries with a charger in the patrol car?

Can we actually charge the cam through the officers uniform while he sits at his seat?
Possibly, or a myriad of other factors as well, which is why designing proper control/test groups is extremely difficult.
Depends. Many applications will have their login screens on simple server-generated HTML forms without heaps of Javascript, rendered by a service with higher security standards.

If an XSS vulnerability appears on some other page, it may not be the same page that normally has a login form.

Generally I'd say the gates are kinda open if XSS is possible, but many real exploits do require more than 1 vulnerability working together; so defense in depth applies.
> The workaround for this is to copy important programs into memory and pin them there with mlock.

Nit: I don't think it's necessary to copy the program into anonymous memory to use mlock. You might be thinking of huge pages (transparent or otherwise), which are supported on anonymous pages and unfortunately aren't yet supported on ext4- or btrfs-backed file pages.

This study is only looking at people with heart disease -- not healthy individuals.
My (limited) understanding is that a lot of beamforming / MIMO techniques are limited by the power budget of the WiFi chips. So if you could use the fanciest processes, the WiFi chips could be better. I don't know if that's worth the price (everyone expects WiFi to suck 24/7), or if the process helps there, but it does sound like manufacturing technology, not math, is the limiting factor for WiFi right now.
It's common enough that there's a legitimate industry around that and a lot of auto-tuning shops will do it on request. In most cases though it's just editing the built-in data tables rather than completely replacing the firmware, and it's often done for engine performance reasons rather than bypassing safety features.
You know this isn’t the live audio app, right?
You mention in passing that consumer demand is important, but it's hard to overstate how important it is. This fact is regularly ignored by communist systems because it seems immoral.

Consumer demand for stupid video games led directly to the development of fast GPUs and AI. Demand for porn drove video encoding. Demand for stupid music players allowed massive innovations in storage, displays, batteries and led to the smartphone revution. Not every technological innovation is led by virtuous academic research funded by a staid and patronizing government, or even by needs of health or warfare.

The "energy" generated by consumer demand cannot be productively and efficiently redirected by policy. Either the market drives innovations or those who want to enrich themselves do so by less positive means.
Thats a gross oversimplification of the options. Real support is incredibly expensive, and there is a lot of it already in the business i'm working in. This demand spike is also largely COVID driven and the time it takes to get an agent up to speed is 3-6 months minimum. FAQ content is also being worked on but there is a huge amount of it, and most customers arent keen on sifting through it. So chatbot is being explored.

I think terrible chatbots are also a function of poor product decisions being made in the first place. I believe there is a time and place for them.
So called "Real Engineering" fields kill people at such a high rate. Software engineers are way better. Despite all the value created, a vanishingly small number of people have been killed.

That's the funny thing. As a software engineer, if I have to build something that might kill someone, I just don't do it. But so-called "real engineers"? Bam, condo building down, people dead. Bridge down, people dead. Tacoma Narrows? Experimenting on people.

If "real engineers" were half as good at their job as I am at mine, we'd have a space elevator and people would be going up and down it every hour and the only problem they'd face is that the music is sometimes not that great. But they're too busy killing people to create $10 in value. I'm too busy not killing people and creating $1 million in value. The numbers don't lie, dude. The numbers don't lie. More value made. Fewer dead people.

People don't like to hear it because of the fetishization of this "Real Engineering" nonsense. But it's true. Software engineering's generational scandals are outdone by a "real engineering" project every day.
True, if an attacker has control of your device you are probably screwed anyway, but there are still different degrees of screwed. There are more and less privileged portions of your system, and keeping sensitive data to less secure areas is still not a great idea. With browsers offering clipboard access as a JavaScript API, it is definitely an area I would consider less well secured than, say, read protected memory or a process-isolated browser extension sandbox.
Thank you! Not going to lie - I got very emotional when I found out the first person got hired to be exactly who they are from my site. The most rewarding thing I've ever worked on.
The Tao of programming and the 4 hour work week
I can imagine two possible scenarios for Linux (the kernel): companies either choose to double down on it as a collaborative venture in order to distribute the cost of verification, or it is abandoned in favour of vendors who provide verified kernels at tremendous expense but in hopes of locking their competition out of the market.

As for the rest of the open source ecosystem that goes into Linux (the operating system), it would probably be abandoned.
I have no utility of normal truck, but Cybertruck would be way more useful to me.
True. But the movements on all limbs are quite uncoordinated at first. It's also not restricted to muscle strength.
Which is why I have an ICE and will continue to have an ICE... which is exactly the point: EV's are not convenient and they will not work for a large number of us.
Still, there's confounders. The people who had heart disease and drank more probably have a more active social life than those with heart disease who don't drink.
yeah i have it autofill (its a feature now) but it doesnt auto login. so i built an extension that waits for it to fill it in and then performs some safety checks and then logs in.

finally the bliss i had with lastpass before i was forced to move to bitwarden.

Anyway, hard to conclude, just think your logic is missing a little.
China’s Gambit for Total Information Dominance: A US-Australia Response
I do drink now, but spent my 20s as the official DD of every group I was with and went out with them quite often. Not drinking does not, as a rule, prevent hanging out with friends.

However, in alcohol heavy situations, it can be off putting for a lot of people to remain sober. It’s hard to be part of the group above a certain drunkenness level if you’re still sober. Not impossible, but hard.
Reconsidering the way I explain programming (2020)
I guess I can see some parallel the way you describe it, but it is not that tight of an analogy IMO. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis mainly means that, for many of our tasks, we start with needlessly huge networks, and thus a good portion of the learning process is just the network learning to "cope with the noise" from the extraneous connections

Hence why the lottery ticket network (being a smaller version of the same initial network) can achieve similar accuracy (but not 'better') in much shorter time - because you took away all the confounding stuff. That kind of 'counterfactual' doesn't really translate to a biological domain, right?

Also - the baby brain is not really a 'pruned', smaller version of the adult brain, right? Neither is the fetus brain compared to the baby brain (which is more to the point of the article). So the analogy breaks down there too

I guess what the article describes is a bit like "pre-training" a full network with 'synthetic' experiences that quickly tune it for later. In that sense, I think its like these "dreams" are a 'distilled dataset' [1]. The question then is: how is this dataset being passed on from mother/father to child?

[1] https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.10959

Abstract:

> Model distillation aims to distill the knowledge of a complex model into a simpler one. In this paper, we consider an alternative formulation called dataset distillation: we keep the model fixed and instead attempt to distill the knowledge from a large training dataset into a small one. The idea is to synthesize a small number of data points that do not need to come from the correct data distribution, but will, when given to the learning algorithm as training data, approximate the model trained on the original data. For example, we show that it is possible to compress 60,000 MNIST training images into just 10 synthetic distilled images (one per class) and achieve close to original performance with only a few gradient descent steps, given a fixed network initialization. We evaluate our method in various initialization settings and with different learning objectives. Experiments on multiple datasets show the advantage of our approach compared to alternative methods.
really comes at the cost of convenience i just don't care thatttt much. for accounts that my real monies are in, i just dont keep them in account managers
>Also, Apple buys up huge amounts of the supply chain such that their screens, cameras, etc are better than basically anyone else's

Apple has never been known to have the fastest/best devices on a feature-comparison point by point. There are better screens, cameras, speakers in many many Android devices.
At that time, it was ~ "you either stop advocating for the security concern, or we make sure you get nothing at all". In fact, I believe we would need to trap to at least make the breakage non-silent, but that would break AssemblyScript even more obviously and only exchange data corruption with denial of service. Not necessarily an improvement if you care about people using what you are building. In hindsight I am not proud of that comment and should have protested, no matter how dire the situation.
I think I'm going to get off the train of this conversation at the point where we seem to be discussing if 80-year-olds have lived long enough.

Good luck to you.
You're missing the point, which is that alcohol use is positively correlated with the tendency to see friends socially, which could explain the finding being reported here.

Nobody is saying that it's an iron clad relationship and not drinking is preventing you from seeing friends.

Do I know you? Did I say where I was going from and to? Lol. Just a bit confused/creeped out.

But from Cincinnati to WI (the route I’m talking about) I always go through Indianapolis. I used the default car. Didn’t think much about the range differences, but you’re right. That makes a big difference.
Maybe it's because real engineering has higher stakes than a crud app. Condos can kill, bridges can kill, Javascript forms or video game engines generally can't. If they could we'd witness a lot more deaths, despite your confidence.
And I think only one. Tripped me up once.
>If nothing else, the ability to run Linux on an m1 makes me feel more confident that the hw won't stop being useful when Apple ceases support, and moves on to m2 or whatever.

That's the problem, that diverts the market. M1 will never officially support linux, and it will never have drivers equivalent to OSX. Apple products are wasteful by design. That should dispel confidence, not increase it.
Well, Morita got old and sick in 1993. Before that time, Sony brought out or popularized transistor radios, trinitron tv’s, higher end pc’s and a damn good, overengineered walkman. The one I had in 1989 was metal and plastic, took one aa battery, ran for 3+ hours and had good in ear phones. Followed this up with discmans, but the accountants were making themselves felt by then (cheap plastic).

Couple the Kaisen culture with a visionary and things happen. Let the bean counters run things and you get dividends. Sony put lightning in a bottle for a while. So did IBM, so did others from time to time. Apple was rare in that they did it more than once, but have they kept it up?
It isn't until we have proper laws against that, and politicians themselves use these platforms to further their own agenda (if not spread outright misinformation) so it's unlikely to happen. Plus with the control that these platforms nowadays have on public discourse it's likely that any attempt at such a law will have public opinion swayed against it immediately.

>In summary, our study shows that an alcohol intake up to about 105g a week is associated with lower risks of both mortality and subsequent cardiovascular events among CVD patients.

>Our findings therefore indicate that, for secondary prevention of CVD, current drinkers may not need to stop drinking but should be informed that lower levels of intake (up to 105g/week) may be associated with reduced risks. However, non-drinking patients should not be encouraged to take up light drinking because of well-known adverse effects on other health outcomes, such as cancers [79].

They are actually at the forefront of adoption of The Lightning Network.
I don't think the install duration is new. Most of the security updates on MacOS 10.15 have taken about 15-20 minutes to install on my 2020 MBP. And the first stage claims that it will only be a couple of minutes. Annoying as hell.
Best is relative. Fastest, however, is usually accurate. Ever since they started designing their own chips.
Of course. There are lots of potential reasons.

The most obvious to me is that alcohol is a blood thinner, much like aspirin, which is known to be beneficial to people with heart disease.

Note that the maximum benefit was found to be only a single drink a day - not a large dose.

That would be nice, wouldn't it? But consumers have never held msft to such a standard so far, so I wouldn't expect it to start now. Sure a small number of people trying to spread the files will care, but if it's implemented right 99.999% of users won't even know the censor exists.
People with heart disease can’t also have been alcoholics or quit drinking due to other health concerns?
Well it still recognises to autofill in the password on a different subdomain as shown in the PoC by default, which is not good at all.

To Downvoters: So in the PoC [0] with the default settings the author is completely wrong about their findings? even if you 'manually' autofill in the fields?

So you are saying that the password DOESN'T get extracted out of Bitwarden from a different subdomain than where the login data was stored on by default then?

Thing is, light-to-moderate drinking implies that nothing really bad happened in your live. Most of the people who have cancer either stop drinking or become heavy drinker. Same with a heart attack and so on.

However, the reason we hear again and again about these studies is, that both scientist at a prestigious institution and journalist at a prestigious publication implies that not much really bad has happened in your live, which in turn implies light to moderate drinking.
And better titles. "Performance" is confusing. I think he means "Performance of different base images for Redis"?
Is 2.1 percent large or small? For example, is it 50.0 vs 52.1 percent (and thus marginal), or 1.0 vs 3.1 percent (and thus massive)?
I agree this requires something like the G7 to come together and agree on proper measures. The rest will fairly quickly follow the lead once that’s done. Those that don’t will feel pressure in future trade negotiations, through border adjustments, and so on. Trying to do an all or none, whole of UN approach is never going to get anywhere.

Vast majority of Muslims don't drink due to religion, shouldn't that provide big enough sample size to definitely decide if light drinking is good or bad.
I have a personal philosophy: "if you can't do it well, don't do it at all". That's because I prize my ability at what I do. I am good at it. I am a craftsman. Not like these fly-by-night characters busy dropping concrete on people's heads. Maybe I need to teach these "real engineers" something about building things haha: "If you can't do it without killing people, don't do it". Man, that's a motto for the ages. You'd think you don't have to teach people that, but here we are.

Maybe we should teach them ethics, because whatever class they took on that, it didn't take. As a practitioner of quality and making money with zero killing, I could help.
Fair question, it's a shame you're being downvoted for it. I do agree that there is no apparent profit motive to do much more than lip service and short-term damage control, although Pegasus might start to change that, we'll see.

It's important in the same way that phasing out ICE cars is important -- important for society, but unlikely to happen in a timely manner without regulation.

Here's a fun strawman: the EU or California could announce limits on the sale of products relative to the number of lines of memory-unsafe code used to build them, starting in a few years.

I would think that as part of enforcing laws, truth seems like it would be relatively important.

The idea of incorrectly convicting someone for a serious crime not only is an injustice to the innocent, it leaves the community in an unsafe and unwitting position regarding an actual perpetrator. In those cases it would be better to have no law enforcement involvement at all.
