Thanks for sharing! Cool read!
Internet file sharing was/is illegal when it first started. Now its the main form of distribution for music and movie industry. Are you only seeing criminal part of crypto and ignoring the rest to confirm your bias?
Another way for Google to see all of your traffic online (that's how it works). I host my own Wireguard VPN, thanks to my little RPi-4.
You have to love the fact checks on this story.

>Inaccurate: The sensor can only detect the presence of an infection but cannot identify the pathogen responsible for the infection. In addition, the sensor only tests an individual's blood and is unable to track a person's location.

>Imprecise: The researchers at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) developed a sensor (not a microchip) that tests blood for early markers of infection, such as a sudden decrease in oxygen levels.

So what exactly does the sensor interface with? A network connected wearable of course. Feel comfortable monitoring grandma's health on your tablet while slicing cabbages in the kitchen. Just check Profusa's own promotional YouTube video.

Please ignore the privacy implications of wearable tech. Ignore the intelligence services' stated intentions to leverage IoT for data collection.

>CIA Chief: We'll Spy on You Through Your Dishwasher -
It's great that you've got so much new household hardware connected to the internet. Especially for the CIA, whose director wants to spy on you through it
My opinion about:
1. Every pedophile know about the existence of this system, so I don't think it will be useful to fight those monster, maybe only marginally;

2. Anyway, is that legal ? Even if some crazy store material on his Apple hardware isn't that illegal search non usable in law courts ?

3. Child abuse is often used as Trojan horse to introduce questionable practice. What if:

- the system is used to looking for dissidents: I look for people that have a photo of Tiananmen Square protests on their pc, for example;

- for espionage: I have the hash of some documents of interest, so all the PCs with that kind of documents could be a valuable target;

- profiling people: you have computer virus sample on your PC -> security researcher/hacker;

I think that the system is prone to all kind of privacy abuse.

4. this could be part of the previous point, but, because I think it's the final and real reason for the existence of that system, I give to this point its own section: piracy fight. I think that the one of the real reason is to discourage the exchange of illigal multimedia material to enforce copyrighs.

For the listed reasons, I think that is a bad idea. Let me know what are you thinking about.
Alisa (on Station Mini) works perfectly in Poland.
"In Python and many others, in general, there's only one kind of number, and that's the double-precision floating-point."

I don't think that's correct for Python!
You would need data on how many people received shots as well, otherwise the information isn't useful.
> > The article praises the Welfare State as the major stimulus for the startup environment, but then mentions that companies intend to leave Sweden... because of the high tax rate?

Yeah, the article mentions that Skype threatened to leave in 2016...

> Corporate tax rates are the same as other countries in Western Europe, and lower than the US.

...and it also mentions that they haven't actually left.
Because syncthing is much more simpler. :)
Even if we accept that your image of your kids in the bath will match the hash of a known and identified CSAM picture (a real stretch), under this system the voucher payload does not contain the private key to decrypt the picture, so nobody will be able to evaluate a photo or flag it as anything. Humans have access to a “visual derivative” based on the perceptual mechanism used to create the hash, but not to the actual photo.

Other companies have CSAM scanning and reporting with much fewer safeguards and the “my kid in the bathtub” scenario hasn’t seemed to actually be a problem.
Hmmm… no?

Consider word embedding, where finding the most similar words given some input, you need to do a NN over 300 dimensions. That’s a common task, and it’s largely unsolved. Postgres, for example, allows you to create indices over their „cube“ datatype, but those are slower than the naive brut-force approach.
I use this for my VPS which is a 4 hour plane journey from me. It's a lifesaver.

Mosh really is an un-sung hero when it comes to software. Especially for those of us in the middle of nowhere :)
Idiotic 1st world problem (actually, very much a "silicon valley soy latte problem"). I could see "slave" being somewhat problematic and people not wwnting to use it, but going after the word "master", which has nothing to do with a "slave" unless a "slave" is mentioned together with it in the same context, is EXACTLY the kind of overreach that (among other things) makes people vote for weird individuals like DT just out of spite. Many (and I do mean "many" as in "most") IT professionals in Europe are shaking their heads when seeing things like Github changing "master" to "main". It's ridiculous. That's what it is. Why can't American liberas just be normal for a while?
The book isn't a recipe, but mostly a warning. Many of the people who think of themselves as millionaires are not. This hasn't changed even the tiniest bit.
Same here. Enpass works perfectly for me (I don't require family sharing, though, so no idea if it's lacking in that respect).
Yup that sense, which existed when I was younger has evaporated. Adventure overload I guess.

I vaguely remember reading a while back Spielberg wanted to go back to that theme for the 5th Indy movie (currently in production) but Ford wanted something new and Spielberg dropped out as Director.
So as someone very critical of the whole DeFi / Smart Contracts philosophy (purely in terms of practicality, not the high-level concepts behind it) - please explain to me how the impacts of those bugs are going to be mitigated going forward.

At will and ex-post broadcasting "oops, we had a bug - please roll back or block the bad actors" doesn't strike me as a solid solution, nor a fair & automated one. I was under the impression this hyped up space learned from the DAO fiasco but i might be wrong.
For old houses were retrofitting is not possible, a district heat network can help. But yes, housing is really hard to get to net-zero. What I don't understand is why it's still legal to build new houses with fossil fuel heating.

Stopped reading here. There's no point since you are arguing imaginary things.
The survey should include "team decides how to work" option, which would probably get majority of votes.
Huh? No Linux version available?
This is probably >90% of cryptocurrency users. Of course it's just a guess, I wish I knew the real percentage.
This is not a zero sum game.

You can be a team player in order to make your life easier and others that work with you. But laying down all of your cards on the table leaves you vulnerable to exploitation by less scrupulous people.

What I was critisising was a view that you as a worker should think of the wellbing of organisation first and foremost. Its a slippery slope that can lead to harmful outcomes for the individuals.
Excellent take. Corporate "control"/influence creeping into more and more aspects shoupd have all of us worried. The good news is that we right now collectively have a chance to shape our future digital interpersonal relationships and make sure this doesn't happen to an extent that would impact real life more than things like Instagram and Snapchat already have.
Makes you feel the solution to the Brexit-induced problem with the Northern Ireland border is to kick Ireland out (if they don't shape up ASAP).
I also use Syncthing but Element allows me to share a channel with someone else more easily when I need to.
You also have that risk as a civilian. In some places in the US quite more so than on a warship...
This is from 2018, I wonder how they fared with this.

Edit: I see they stuck with XMPP. Interesting! Their comments on Matrix sound very valid.

Have you seen crypto?
Geez you'd think with all the money they were making, they would ease up a bit and let the people watch what they wanna watch, wherever they wanna watch!

Next there'd be a Netflix Premium account that allows you to watch a worldwide collection of series and programs.
Odeon Cinemas to Accept Bitcoin
The world often divides in two. Surely, relevantly,

-- those who think that language is what median people use and that naive use has a right to be accepted and create rules, seeing language as a social matter, and

-- those who think that language is what the learned have built out of competence and reflection, calling language an entity rightfully separate from societies.

For both parties «language matters». But they do not speak the same language - the second party refuses to accept bastard semantics, illegitimately born "from the saddle of incompetence". Their conclusions are opposite.
From the article it is not clear how the Intel compiler differs from base clang/llvm, except for vague marketing bs (“expected” fp performance?!?)
For Czech republic, based on seniority and skill level I would say between ~$2.5k and ~$7k salary per month before tax. But you lose like a half to the various taxes.

High-dimensional vectors are the most natural representation of a lot of the intermediary and final steps of ML pipelines.

It’s true that it might be more of a feature than a product. But it’s a feature that’s currently missing from a lot of products one would usually turn to.
Absolutely sensible move. Time for Microsoft to do the same with MSVC.
The iron law of software products: like the product -> dislike the company offering it -> dislike the product.
I use all of them (Google, OneDrive, Dropbox) due to various needs, but Dropbox is my primary account too.

I've found that inSync is a wonderful client for GoogleDrive and OneDrive for all major platforms. It has some nice features like out of tree syncing (sync a cloud folder to anywhere on the filesystem and keep it synced), and .gitignore like ignore syntax.

I'd recommend it heavily. It's a one-time-payment application with no limitations.

They've added dropbox support recently.
An s3 bucket will give you back an ETAG header for each file it holds, which is more or less the MD5 of a set of chunks that make up the file.

You can use that to identify files.

The first thing that irritated me when I moved to Qatar was how it was impossible to access a wide variety of US sites from foreign countries: my local trash service, Southwest Airlines... the list went on and on and on. I ended up standing up a VPN server in the US to deal with it, but it was a pain in the ass to deal with it.
I didn't see a visible date displayed, so I dug through the view source to find it, just to see when the page was published:

"dateModified": "2021-08-06T15:45:40+03:00",
If its any consolation, the BBC recently pulled everything half decent that they own off netflix (The office, red dwarf, extras, thick of it, and loads more), so you're not missing much
Sure, countries change their names all the time. North Macedonia and Eswatini in the last three years, for example.

Hollywood has glamorized these locations, propaganda is strong.
Which country would it be? Questions of morality are slippery slopes since one could argue the entire crypto system is immoral and who cares about the moral rules in a pirate village? As Jack Sparrow says famously, there are only two types of things out there: the things you CAN do, and the things you CANT. Crypto is the libertarians wet dream and to come and argue you should be a Good Samaritan from the opposite end of the spectrum because someone proved libertarianism is bulls*t suggests these people are just immature at best.

can anyone expound on what he means when he says that lisp macros defined syntax but not semantics?

---

> The folks at Rust tried to do a decent job of fitting macros in the language.

> Other languages, like all of the Lisp family, managed to fit them in more gracefully, but they had a way of defining syntax where the syntax was almost entirely free of semantics. And in most languages, syntax and semantics kind of go hand in hand.

You own an NFT of a Disney character, but that character is restricted to forbid performing the Vulcan salute, because that's from a different IP-verse. NFTs cannot be a fix for that. That's what's meant by not having agency.
We are here now

As a sibling commenter noted, we are long past that. I see points of all of you in this subthread and I agree, but this doesn’t answer my last question. Tools of mass everything are already here for more than a decade, ready to deploy and use. And when these are used to do an actually good thing (stopping dickpics to minors), everyone wakes up and blames them for the possibility that could always be deployed overnight without any prior notice.
How you figure that you are using less resources? Now people need to keep more taps on you/your work. The building is already built and furniture bought, there are no extra costs those have already been absorbed. Now they need to provide you with extra hardware, laptop, monitor, keyboard, chair, maybe even adjustable standing desk.

On top of the fact that most people are less productive working from home. Everyone here seems to think that they are the work from home king who does 10x work when not at the office citing distractions (as if people aren't IM-ing you just as often), lack of commute (this doesn't actually count to your work hours anyway), less breaks (expect just like how you didn't remember what you forgot, you only remember the times when you worked whole day in the flow and didn't take breaks and forget the days when you mostly you browsed HackerNews and took that 45 minute coffee break and picked up your kid from the school and still quit at the normal office time)
Maybe a different user agent or something? I'm sure that the companies writing these articles do want them to have good SEO and therefore allow crawling them for all sorts of bots, so that they'd show up on search engines.

> after x number of generations so it does not causes other issues?

That’s the core trouble with everything isn’t it, and what got us into this mess in the first place.
The implication here seems to be that comprehensive error handling & logging improves security. Silently swallowing errors is a common issue in async code and that can be a major risk if those errors are indicative of security holes (or even active attack attempts).

The author seems to believe flat chains make it easier / more likely that errors will be caught and handled. That's probably true, it does seem easier to insert error handling code with flat promises, but it's certainly not done automatically.

Would be good if it was clearer on that point and to see more hard examples of actual error handling.

It’s not that HN is anti crypto, it’s that most (if not all) smart people are. The only smart people that are pro crypto are ones trying to sell shovels in the gold rush (like Elon or Dorsey).

It’s ironic you’re asking this question in a thread about news proving how stupid crypto is to begin with.
I disagree. Competition is good.

Don't want to end up with every C/C++ compiler being a clang skin in the same way as (almost) every browser is a chrome skin.

And for what it's worth cl compiles faster for me than even clang-cl. I like having both available though.
Anyone who is for electronic only voting should be forced to watch few def con videos. Nothing is secure give enough resources and determination.

Paper ballots are extremely hard to hack given the scale of the operation. Because it would involve people. The more people involved to more chances one gets discovered or comes out with the truth.

I have no issues using both simultaneously for near instant results as long as paper count is there to verify the results.
I see, but if you take a term like 'bunny'* and then for some reason it becomes - I don't know - a sensational sexual innuendo in south Boston or the whole of the continent, it is not a fault of 'bunny', and one cannot expect that others in Anywheristan start having problems with 'bunny' out of somebody's folly.

* the first term I could think of, probably as I am writing from a field having plenty of them nearby.
Major study of Ivermectin finds 'no effect whatsoever'
Ivermectin, the latest supposed treatment for COVID-19 being touted by anti-vaccination groups, had “no effect whatsoever” on the disease, according to a large patient study.

That’s the conclusion of the Together Trial, which has subjected several purported nonvaccine treatments for COVID-19 to carefully designed clinical testing. The trial is supervised by McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, and conducted in Brazil ...
I sometimes wonder how much there could be done for people in need of an actual form of help if all that energy to change unrelated words because someone is triggered by them went into a more useful endeavor.

And beyond that, maybe it is because I am not a native speaker, but isn’t “primary” less clear than “master” in this context? `Master` suggest control/mastery over something, but `primary` rather focuses on importance/order of things, at least in my head.
Wow. I have memories reading Github is a bootstrapped, profitable and dominant 90 person company. What happened to profitability?
I'm not sure I love this. I mean, LLVM is awesome and everthing, but software monocultures are pretty bad. It's not like the situation is dire yet (given that there are also GCC and MSVC), but you can imagine a situation in a couple of years when Microsoft goes "yeah, we're also gonna go with LLVM now" and also GCC starting to fade away. It's a bit concerning.

Also: if icc is going to go with LLVM as a backend, then what is the point of using icc at all? Why not just use clang?
I think that the FBI/NCMEC wouldn’t allow the use of the hashes for this.

A criminal could load its image collection, one by one, and see which images are deleted. The result is a collection of images that are “FBI safe”.
What is that 750 USD supposed to cover?

either one of those things can cost as much as that
I hope we wouldn't have to go through a bunch of sleepless nights for doing nothing bad. There are semi random checks of "suspicious behaviour" being done in masses. These things can get out of hand sometimes (redefining what suspicious is...), when those elected get a bit crazy

This is great, thanks.

I've only read a bit of it, but what leaps out at me is that it's clearly written prepandemic. It assumes its audience only knows in-person work, and remote work is this weird radical thing that only a few companies do. Understandable, as that was true 18 months ago, but wow have things changed!

Oddly, I bet it'll be hard or impossible for Zapier to write an updated edition, as they don't know what the pandemic has been like for the rest of us. Heck, I bet the experience of pandemic remote work varies widely.
Smart quote, although the concept is easy enough that probably many people have come up with it.

Explains why math education so often fails. You shouldn't teach pupils to answer problems, you should teach them to ask questions and give them the tools others have successfully employed to solve some of them.

Additionally this is quite a huge constraint of computers not yet having developed intelligence.
But "breaking" electronically into a system also only executes (erronous) permissible actions? Where do you draw the line?

Reading this a hash collision was exploited:

https://rekt.news/polynetwork-rekt/

> Well... here's the actual sighash of the target function:

> http://ethers.utils.id ('putCurEpochConPubKeyBytes(bytes)').slice(0, 10)

> '0x41973cd9'

> And the sighash that the attacker crafted...

> http://ethers.utils.id ('f1121318093(bytes,bytes,uint64)').slice(0, 10)

> '0x41973cd9'

> Fantastic. No private key compromise required! Just craft the right data and boom... the contract will just hack itself!
Yes, I think though gcc will go first.
I don't spend much time with Haskell, only sometimes I'll read a blog post using it. But still, to me it's one of the most readable languages out there. Day-to-day I work with C++ and Rust and I'm really annoyed with the amount of irrelevant punctuation they force on the programmer. I look at the code, and instead of seeing what it expresses, first I need to peel off the noise, curly braces, colons in weird places, commas, just noise. Scheme and, to a greater extent, SML are really good here.

Similarly, even before dwohnitmok, I can read your Haskell example much faster than the curly example.
Although I think it's a weak argument, the argument they seem to make is that it's easier to screw up doing callbacks in a nested way when it comes to correct flow + error handling, as compared to a flat flow of promises to execute.

At least that's what I understood from "Promises provide a higher assurance of capturing and handling errors" which seems to be the only argument in that snippet.
>Also: if icc is going to go with LLVM as a backend, then what is the point of using icc at all? Why not just use clang?

I assumed the icc secret sauce was in the backend: deep knowledge of how each and every single operation is implemented in every uarch.

Maybe they've written their own x86 backend for LLVM, and are using the rest of LLVM for IR->IR transformations and vectorization?
