Indirect messages must be marked as hearsay, given as (barring the use of asymmetric crypto, which is AFAIK impossible to carry out at Gb+/s line-rate without specialized hardware) there is no way to verify, in any useful sense, their authorship.

The most that can be done to infer authenticity of indirect messages is to see whether such a message rejects the authorship of a known previous message having the same handle -- via the SelfChain. In virtually any case of handle collision, this will occur.

Re: floods -- a station only processes messages from a peer. So in fact in all cases the proximate cause of a flood is identifiable, and you can "UNPEER" and "GAG" him.

Flooding by a peer is annoying, but is not what people normally think of as "DDOS" (normally the term implies a flood of rubbish received directly from unauthenticated third parties.)

How liberally to peer -- is a matter for an individual station operator. Peering with every passing acquaintance has obvious down-sides.

I hate WhatsApp, it has a habit of losing messages. And transferring WhatsApp to a new phone is almost impossible to do without losing some messages EVEN if your current phone still works.

You have to hit the backup button, and hope it finishes and sends everything to Google before you get a new messages from anyone. If you do get a messages, press backup and try again (or just lose that message).

Recently I had the misfortune of trying to transfer WhatsApp from a phone that took 22 hours to finish each backup - so there was no other option except lose messages.

And if your phone is dead, you are all but guaranteed to lose messages, since it uses the last backup.

It gets worse - if you delete photos from your WhatsApp storage, WhatsApp does not delete them from the Google backup. If you do this for long enough you can end up with a Google backup too large to restore to any phone (or at least too large to fit in your current phone - I guess you could buy a 256GB model).

You have to delete the Google backup every once in a while, and then quickly backup again (which takes hours or days, since it has to re-upload every single photo and video you have).

All WhatsApp needs to do to fix this is: a: continuous backups - you get a message, it saves that message to google, or b: save at least 1 month worth of old messages, so that it has them in case you need to restore from an old backup. (It could prune old message every time you finish a backup.)

And don't get me started on the misery that is losing your phone, or it breaks, and you are without a phone for a little while - you have zero options of getting messages. At least with SMS you could put the SIM card in a loaner phone, but WhatsApp probably won't fit in some cheap phone without much storage.

I hate WhatsApp with a passion, and I wish it didn't exist - but I have no choice but to use it, since all my contacts don't even seem to understand what a regular text even is.

And I can guarantee that this encrypted backup with cause lots and lots of people to lose their messages.

Prepaid single purpose cards like Oyster (and Opal and Myki in Sydney and Melbourne which I’m more familiar with) have a huge advantage in not being linked to your legal name and address in the way your credit card is. Removing that option links every trip on public transport to a legal identity overnight.

We only have these cards due to historical quirk (quick contactless technology existed, but not in credit cards), and if we lose them, it’s another thing that we’re never getting back.

(I protested the removal of paper tickets from Sydney’s trains and busses, for what it’s worth…)
I disagree, here in Vancouver our system is also from Cubic and it is terrible. Our transit corporation, Translink, had to switch all the buses to a single zone fare because they couldn't get the system to work over the cellular network. Not to mention that the cost to run the system every year is more than the total fare evasion on the entire system before it was implemented. So revenue is lower on that part of the system and they aren't saving any money. At rapid transit stations, the fare gates are not reliable and extremely slow.

It is shocking how much better the much older MTR system is in Hong Kong in comparison.

We get annual boosters for many viruses. If you’re really hell bent on getting covid, your likelihood of severe illness is 10x less with at least one dose of the vaccine, and your immunity will be higher than infection alone. The messaging that natural immunity is the only way out, and that getting the virus is somehow ‘better’ than the vaccine is ludicrous.
My view is that it's not. Especially with the advent of video in social media, and with so many people joining we ve regressed to the mean and below. FB & IG are basically a 24 hour reality show or 24 hour home videos, not quality programming. The news are now made from self-reported tweets without cross-checks. and clickbait videos are gradually increasing the noise in youtube, a paid platform. the world's biggest forums (reddit+twitter) are severely narrowminded. Maintaining a nuanced community requires dedicated effort and expenditure (like HN does).

As always on the internet, after the initial panspermia came a period of severe winner-take-all consolidation into monoculture. I m not sure if it would be different in an alternate timeline where the ad money was going to media companies.
Most new software devs go through that phase. A few decades ago, it was about the Gang of 4 design patterns. We were all reading that book and then looking for every possible place we could implement those patterns, even when they made absolutely no sense.

I'm so sorry for the teams I worked with in those days. The worse is I felt the folks around me were worse devs for not doing the same. It's so embarassing in hindsight.
Real chemistry starts with orbitals. Everything below is just excessive simplification that makes no sense when you go beyond very simple cases (taught in my country at the level of primary school).

You really could start with orbitals instead of shells and it would be as simple as the shells but made more sense and getting familiarized with them early would give you the right intuitions for tackling those more challenging cases.

It's definitely not consistent from the bodily autonomy angle, though. And that's a pretty major angle, considering how deeply we're connected with our bodies.

Personally, I think anybody who advocates for abrogation of bodily autonomy is an absolute monster, whether an anti-abortionist, a pro-vaccine-mandateist, or an anti-recreational-druggist.

Our bodies are all we have. This is the most important freedom we hold.

That’s what contactless cards do now, there’s a PAYG cap. When you read about it doesn’t really sound that complex (not sure if it needed a clever bloke with an algorithm, but then what do I know?)

I guess because they couldn’t work out a way for you to purchase a travel card on your contactless card, so this was the only way to allow regular commuters to use their contactless.

Anyway it was the reason I switched over from oyster to contactless. I realised I was getting ripped off as I would always use PAYG and _sometimes_ went over the caps.

You're describing things in a misleadingly mundane way again.

The relevant question there is "did she know what was participating in?" If Julius robbed a bank and Ethel knew about the plan, willingly drove the getaway car, and went to jail for it; then it's misleading to say she went to jail for "driving her husband around." She went to jail for being an accomplice to a crime.

>The more Apple and Google are forced to line item their charges for users, showing what each charge is for, the closer we get to a free market.

Historically line itemization makes it harder, not easier, for users to understand what they're being charged for. Compare Verizon versus Google fi statements, for example. The complexity hidden in all those fees confuses people, and let's Verizon (and others) claim monthly fees are X in ads, then listing that fee as X, then tacking on a lot of line items that make the actual payment much more.

Be careful what you wish for.

> Companies will want it, but I'm not sure users will.

Is Amazon was allowed to run a store on iOS, Android, and Fire devices, and if you bought an app you were guaranteed the equivalent version on other devices if it existed, I think there would be a lot of incentive for people to use it. I wouldn't necessarily prefer Amazon be the entity running it in the end, but they're probably best poised to do so with customer trust.

> Apple does a really good job of warning me, I feel, and centralizing subscription cancellation etc., and that's huge.

If there was actual competition between stores, this could be an item of competition, and a minimum acceptable level of support for this might emerge in the front runners. Amazon is already pretty good at making customers happy, this might be something they'd happily take on (and don't they already do subscriptions for magazines?).

The whole problem is that people keep looking at this as "Apple may be bad at X, but they do Y really well and I don't want to lose that" when they should be looking at it as "Apple is bad at X, maybe if they get some competition they'll do better at X, and Y will still be done well by them".

I can't understand why anyone would assume Apple having competition on their platform would make them worse. They would actually have to address problems for once otherwise worry about losing people to other stores, not entire phone ecosystems which require multiple hundreds of dollars and losing access to all your purchases.

If some company is really trying to get out of the Apple controlled system not because of costs but because they really want access to your personal info or to make it hard to stop paying them, maybe they should be allowed to leave and they can get less customers and hopefully change or die. Chances are they're trying to figure out the info using other methods right now anyways.
I'm a big UBI advocate, but even if we went that route, it will require a certain maturity on both the government and the citizens. It won't be long before people are in the street saying UBI isn't enough as you can't buy a house in a big city while feeding a family of 4 with it.

We'd need to, as a society, draw a line in the sand as to what "the basics" are (it's extremely subjective. I think MIT or Harvard has a site with threshold they consider the minimum, but it uses arbitrary metric like expected amount of kids, and it's by city).

Once we pick, while we should always be ready to revisit, it can't be a constant thing. If folks are robbing CVS saying they wouldn't if UBI was higher (assuming it was set to a reasonable amount to begin with. A big if), we're not much better off than where we are now.

My guess is they are using tensor cores as they report FP16 throughput, but they seem to be measuring at batch size 1, which is hugely unfair to the GPUs.

For inference workloads you usually batch incoming requests together and run once on GPU (though this increases latency). A latency/throughput tradeoff curve at different batch sizes would tell the whole story.

Also, they are using INT8 on CPU and neglect to measure the same on GPU. All the GPU throughputs would 2x.

tl;dr just use GPUs

Edit: to the comments below, I agree low-latency can be important to some workloads, but that's exactly why I think we need to see a latency-throughput tradeoff curve.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that modern GPUs (A10/A30/A40/A100) basically dominate CPUs even when latency is constrained, and the MLPerf results give a good (fair!) comparison of this:

https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/extending-nvidia-performan...

The GPU throughputs are much, much higher than the CPU ones, and I don't think even NM's software can overcome this gap. Not to mention they degrade the model quality...

The last question is whether CPUs are more cost-effective despite being slower, and the answer is still... no. The instances used in this blog post cost:

- C5 CPU (c5.12xlarge): $2.04/hr
- T4 GPU (g4dn.2xlarge): $0.752/hr

NM's best result @ batch-size-1 costs more, at lower throughput, at lower model quality, at ~same latency, than a last-gen GPU operating at half it's capacity. A new A10 GPU using INT8 will widen the perf/$ gap by another ~4x.

Also full disclosure I don't work at NVIDIA or anything like that so I'm not trying to shill :) I just like ML hardware a lot and want to help people make fair comparisons.

If you paid for it with your credit card, then it certainly is linked to your name. And not a lot of people use cash these days
The biggest evidence for this is the amount of liquidity in exchanges which is often less than 5% across the board. This means if everyone tries to cash in, only 5% will be able to recoup everything.

Of course, the price will go down as people cash in but I guarantee some individuals/organizations have 5% of many cryptos and Satoshi (whoever she/he/they are) currently has almost that much Bitcoin.

It's also likely he was using something like Final Draft to write the script (which really focuses on formatting first). In all honesty, I wonder if it even had a Spell Check feature back in 1996, assuming he was even using the latest version then.

Heck, Microsoft Word didn't have automatic spell checking (always working in the background) until 2003. If I recall correctly, even MS Word's spell checker wasn't developed in house, but the tech was originally licensed from Houghton-Mifflin in the early-to-mid-90s. I believe Word 7.0 had it, and possibly earlier versions, but it was still a "fairly new thing" in the early-to-mid-90s in the desktop space.
