I don't believe there is such a thing as "useless knowledge". Such knowledge is often deemed useful in retrospect. A good example is the years of "useless" microbial ecological research resulting in the discovery of extremophiles, a discovery that revolutionized biotechnology and made PCR possible. According to Brock, his initial research was considered useless by his peers (who deemed it "exotic", a euphemism of sorts for useless).
Hope there's a human around to label that one as "ignore".
I wonder if Facebook has a big list of misinformation published by major news organizations that they aren't sure what to do with.

I often see the same people who talk about how dangerous sites like PatriotFreedomEagleNews are in terms of misinformation respond belligerently when shown evidence of similar misinformation coming from CNN or MSNBC. The list of reliably credible news sources is much shorter than most people believe.
That’s not accurate. You can do math to show a helicopter can fly on Mars. And a helicopter benefits from the lower gravity, which doesn’t help a zeppelin (as buoyancy is also reduced by gravity but lift force is independent of gravity). So even though lift for both a zeppelin and a helicopter include a density term, the zeppelin is about a factor of 3 worse.

Since helicopters already outcompete zeppelins on Earth, on Mars where helicopters have a factor of 3 advantage over zeppelins, it’ll have an even harder time.

It’s equivalent to a zeppelin at around 100,000 ft at Earth. Possible, but not very practical.
I am of the opinion it wont be "mainstream" anytime soon. But it will have a place in Gaming. I still think VR is sort of the wrong abstraction for many things. In Gaming it sort of brings a new dimension but I dont see it replacing traditional gaming given its space requirement and limitation. Think of it like console / TV gaming with controller never replaced PC gaming with Keyboard and mouse. VR being a third option. But it wont ever be dominant.

There is one thing I look forward most for VR is the requirement or interest in reducing latency in all part of computing. For VR to work we need to reduce all latency down to single digit ms. This is a tall order especially when you realise even keyboard input add double digit ms latency before it is even processed.
First, I've seen Arabic TikTok creators and I don't need to be lectured about their presence and content.

Second, that is not the argument I am making. The ancient Egyptian clay pot at a museum was just an example. I stated the act of getting money is not devoid of the context of which it was acquired when it comes to art.
The goal of the law shouldn’t be for you to implement a banner asking for permission, but for you to build a website which does not need it because it respects and doesn’t gobble user data.

The EU’s website is setting a bad example by not embodying the optimal result of the law they created.

There are wonderful comedians, musicians, dancers, storytellers, videographers, people with curios jobs, unusual animals, remote locations etc.

It’s overwhelming positive and creative.

This guy is funny: https://www.tiktok.com/@adrianbliss/video/695706186311272371...

If you don’t think it’s funny, simply swipe up, at some point TikTok will start showing you the right kind of comedians(or maybe no more comedians?).

It’s no fuss when you encounter something you don’t like. You don’t need to go to the comments and tell then what’s wrong with them. You don’t like it, you skip it, it’s gone. Eventually you will see mostly stuff you like and TikTok isn’t going to think that all you want to watch is pizza making video just because you liked one pizza making video. It’s strangely good at keeping the exposure diverse.

You don't treat DKA with insulin, at home at least. DKA usually means you have become super dehydrated, and likely all your blood work will be way out of whack.

To be fair, I have only gone into DKA once, when I was diagnosed, so it was certainly an extreme - but, I would guess most people who end up in DKA also have some kind of extreme.

There is a risk of a tragedy of the commons situation with EV charging and other wider use of electricity for heat and as a primary source of energy -- there will, in the short and medium term, need to either be massive investment in significantly increasing grid capacity, or greater control of loads being connected to the grid.

Putting more copper in the ground can help remove local constraints on how much energy can flow into a given area at a time, and ensure everyone in the street can put their car onto charge at 6:30pm. But the rest of the grid needs to be adjusted in response - generation will need to be greater for these swings in demand, and this might not align with when renewable energy is abundant.

For large loads like EV chargers (or really anything else beyond basic domestic usage), there's likely to be significant correlation in usage (charging cars arriving home from work, or upon arrival at the office, turning on heating during a cold snap an hour before arriving home, etc.) over time, that the energy networks can't deliver.

Large loads will therefore likely need to be remotely switchable and controlled by a grid controller, taking into consideration local load (to avoid melting the cable in your street and taking everyone offline) and wider regional and national load (if solar production in your region has dropped due to a large storm front passing over, there's less energy to go around). Switchable loads need to be secure, otherwise an attacker who can remotely switch them can do harm to the wider energy network, especially if the vulnerable device is widely deployed and can be trivially controlled. For example, even simply turning off a large number of active loads simultaneously could destabilise the grid and lead to an outage. Done at scale due to vulnerable devices, this could cause widespread problems.

There's a bigger discussion to be had around people's expectations to charge their car instantly at full rate - perhaps differentiated pricing incentives will incentivise users to plug their vehicle in and let it charge at the best price it can find overnight, rather than immediately charging, to spread loads. But measures like this require a secure set of basic infrastructure to control large load devices, otherwise everyone will insist on bringing theirs online immediately, resulting in an outage and everybody being disconnected due to a breaker tripping or a wire melting.
That’s not what I said at all.

yes agree we have a plan to move that to notify dealers step which is optional maybe remove altogether however... there are dealers willing to make an offer to buy your car without an inspection right now and at some point they will need your VIN to finalize the offer and come pay you and pick up your car. great feedback and we will move VIN asap.

Young people get over it pretty fast and mostly without issues, especially vaccinated ones. In slovenia, we've been closing down schools, and letting people get infected and die in old-age homes, instead of keeping schools open (atleast partially) and doing more to protect the people who actually need protection (like ventilation, better isolation, etc.)

We've had around 4400 deaths by now (2 mio population) with some estimates of 800k+ people having it (260k confirmed cases), and we've had 5 deaths in <35yo age group, and we count every death after 28days of positive test as a covid death.

Right. And even people who like their own brand of misinformation are not happy about other people enjoying other conflicting brands of misinformation. And this is true whether we are talking about objective misinformation or subjective "misinformation".

And so Facebook is fantastically incentivized to give each person not just what they want, but to leak as little about other people's objectionable/"objectionable" (in your eyes) experiences to you as possible.

For Facebook "cleaning up" means, optimal silo-ing.

I wonder what would it have outputted if we would remove the “ and the rest are blue” part from the question.

Would not surprise me if an innatentive human student would answer that with the same code. After all school “trains” people to expect such challenges to be solveable. A more attenive human might say “we can’t know” or provide an upper limit to the number of potential blue balloons.
A popular language with a lot of documentation and user comments has a lot of instances of a common phrase? Python and Java also have pretty heavy use of the phrase, proportionally speaking (since PHP does have a massive amount of built-in functions):

The CMP vendors claimed defense is that they make their widgets configurable so sites can judge for themselves what they think they need to legally ask users for and give a default maximally compliant interface, but conveniently with lots of knobs to twiddle to maximise "consent" rates by making alternatives harder.

That said, even that preview page gives the option to see the "Legitimate Interests" interface by selecting "IAB TCF 2.0" under the regulations section, rather than just "GDPR".
Of course not. They’re wealthy enough to not have to think about the “help”, or dregs of society. People like me don’t have that luxury so we?

It’s not about the math it’s about the engineering, NASA did the maths and a 40m diameter evacuated airship can carry a substantial payload on Mars, we however have no real clue on how to build it from an engineering perspective.

If you would’ve asked people 10 years ago about flying helicopters on Mars plenty of them would say it’s not possible not because the math doesn’t work out, but because of what requirements the math spits out.

I can do the math for a helicopter for galactic hydrogen, it doesn’t mean engineering can make one. However a vacuum airship on Mars is very much possible, it’s just a heck of an engineering challenge but if you want to get to large payloads not to mention any substantial flight time it’s by far more realistic than a helicopter.
Auditing it would mean looking at CSAM, which is illegal. If it was widespread, I would expect at least one of the manual reviewers that are able to legally view the CSAM would contact major publications (under the promise of staying anonymous) and whistleblow on this issue.

: To be clear, I'd expect whistleblowing if these manual reviewers were tasked to 'accept' CSAM submissions that aren't CSAM.
People seem to slap legal notices on documents like they’re some sort of magical spell that they don’t actually understand.

Generally I agree people (especially on HN) are too optimistic about zero-censorship decentralized systems, but I think it's important to point out that decentralization doesn't have to mean zero censorship / everything goes. In federated systems like Mastodon, each instance can handle their own moderation separately, allowing moderation to be done with more context by people closer to their communities and for a diversity of moderation styles to exist.
People focus too much on the SoA thing as if it was the whole point of the language, but it's really really not.

Jon does a lot of programming streams, and I think anyone who watches his programming streams will recognize that "structure of arrays" is not the default mode that he usually programs in.

That's not even the point of the language.

Yes the language does a lot of what you expect from a modern systems language: structs, explicit memory allocation and management, no header files, etc.

But as far as I can tell, this is just the bare minimum that you should expect from a modern systems language, and the ultimate goal of this language is not to just be that.

The best way I can think of to describe it is collapsing layers into just one: the language and its compiler.

This is why the language has meta programming and code generation built in.

I've seen talks where people boast about how they use a python script to generate a whole lot of C++ code!

I've seen projects written ostensibly in C++ but to build them you need download 10 different tools (including compilers or interpreters for other languages).

Big C++ projects are notorious for being a nightmare to build.

The point of this language is to make it so that you only need one thing: the compiler of this language.

You can write a large system program that builds very quickly and does not need any extra tools to build.

Ultimately even the linker would be deprecated: the compiler would output the executable file directly. But for practical reasons the language has to support linking in order to interop with C libraries.

Ask HN: Will there ever be classic “muscle” microprocessors?
There are cars out there that are very old but well maintained. They go for more money then they were originally worth and are often still fairly capable vehicles. I’m wondering if we might eventually see a similar situation with microprocessors. Obviously there are many factors that play into this, but I’m amazed that I can currently sell my gtx 1080 ti that I custom cooled for more than I bought it. Part of me is sad to see it go because it still can handle a huge workload and it looks sweet. Will I one day look back and see my card on the market for 5 figures? Will any generation ever look back and see their old chips on the market for 5 figures?

At the same time, "Master Planned" areas in actual Europe tend to be super horrible to live in, due to the detachment from what actually makes a place livable. (And the transportation part is generally already solved in Europe).

Here in Copenhagen, everybody loves the 100-200 year old areas way more than the newly built ones.

A security problem is a bug. If their track record is quality (i.e. no bugs), you can extrapolate that their process is pretty good at dealing with security problems as well. Until proven otherwise.

Of course, nothing is unhackable. If a state actor wants to get inside your router, you'll lose no matter what. And you don't need to have https:// exposed on WAN to get hacked in that way. The 0-day could just as easily be on the transceiver or on the WAN layer itself.

The only way to protect yourself from a 0-day is to live in a tin foil bubble and simply never use a mobile phone or the internet.
right now zip code is used in the valuation...

field is hidden on step1 but displayed on step 2.

we previously had it on step 1 but moved it to step 2 because then you can change the zip (defaults to your location) but if you want to try and sell your vehicle in another state (and easily select nearby dealers to request bids from) zip on step2 allows that.

Carbs themselves are fine. It's the quantities, especially those in the form of sugars, that are excessive.

All that said you can live without carbs and just digest fats instead. Hence the whole ketosis and low-sugar diets.

That's about as advisable as asking it to write firmware for a pacemaker. Smart contracts are some of the most delicate codebases - even a tiny bug can cause you to lose a lot of money. With a model like this bugs are very likely, especially in such a niche domain.

Everyone who wants to be rich says this exact line even though you don't need a lot of money to help the poor. Do you currently volunteer for shelters, charities or soup kitchens? If not, why do you think that will change when you get more money?

I notice these laws often only target mass-market social media platforms such as FB/IG/Twitter/TikTok/SnapChat/etc.

If one has valid criticism or journalistic comments & opinions, could one ignore or workaround these laws through use of self-hosted, possibly TOR hosted, federated social media platforms like Mastodon? Original posts could be shared to masses with major difficulty in tracking the source commentator to a real identity.
You can model this with a combination of explicit conditions and principal/resource tags. You also can apply a specific custom policy with every role assumption that can be both time bound and more restrictive than the role policies themselves. All IAM stuff is also very heavily logged.

But overall I’m not sure constantly reaching out to IAM to retrieve scoped permissions for every single action makes much sense. Aside from the obvious latency issues the master set of credentials needs to have permissions to be able to request these scoped time-bound keys, and so them being leaked is just as bad as they can be used to just re-request access to “Q2 data”. Ok, so we need some logic to say “Alice should only be able to request these keys once a day” or some such, and these arbitrary requirements are much more complex to implement and a lot more fragile.

So it only makes sense if you’re expecting it to be materially more common for a service to somehow leak these time-bound single access keys but not leak any other credentials. Which isn’t an assumption that would hold up I think.

So what’s the point?

It’s the cost of trustless decentralized transaction settlement. Yes, it’s expensive. Very few transactions truly merit that level of security. But the only comparable alternative is basically physical gold, which is probably even more wasteful for settling transactions.
