I can see Windows maybe just going to a linux base. But the important part for them to open source would be details for .exe executables. This is something I see them not open-sourcing. You'll be able to run .exes on linux, but only if your on the 'Windows' distro. That is at least my take.
I just use Whatsapp calling for that.

Since laws are unenforced, it's also possible for dealers to upsell louder exhausts without even needing to visit a 3rd party shop.
And that’s why the truth -

I'm not a Go player but watched some of the famous Lee Sedol match on youtube while it was happening. One channel had a Korean professional 9-dan (= super grandmaster) commentating. At one point in game 1, AlphaGo made a move that shocked the professional. He spent a while analyzing it, asking whether it could work, etc. The next few moves were routine, so he commented on them briefly and then went back to talking about the surprising move. More moves came and he commented on those. Then perhaps 20 minutes later, during the wait for another move, he went back to the surprising move and said "if that move works, AlphaGo is going to win all 5 games". It was so far-reaching and subtle that if it was not a mistake, it could only be made by a player of superhuman strength.

As we know, Lee Sedol managed to win game 4 by a lucky break, but lost the rest, so the GM's comments were incredibly perceptive. I took a few notes while watching so I may be able to dig them up and check the details, but the surprising play became quite well-known and involved something called a "dog's head" formation, which might be enough for Go aficionados to identify it.
Google can be wrong too, of course, but it’s usually accurate in my experience while the examples I gave for Apple Maps were not selective. The places I check have the time wrong on Apple Maps in nearly all cases - even the Colosseum is wrong!

If they are taking this data from Yelp and Foursquare then it’s not surprising if it’s low quality (they are linked in reviews and the only places I see with the same incorrect hours). Presumably it’s different in the US, but Google and TripAdvisor are the only services with traction here and therefore the only ones likely to be maintained by the actual business.
His reply does make sense. In the age of self hosted game servers you could ping an admin on irc/xfire and have him decide if someone is following you through walls etc etc. Sure he couldn't possibly catch every player being smart about aimbots but it was a remarkably good system because unlike now, there was a human element in all stages of the conversation.

If you were wrongly accused you could just move over to a different server with little downtime instead of pleading customer support for weeks that Process Explorer is NOT a game hacking tool.

Minimal anticheat, human support from your friendly neighbourhood admin is all you need.
It is a shared risk.

Overwhelming the hospitals puts everyone at greater risk.

So any cases means more mutations more quickly. This too is a shared risk.

There just is not any way around all this. The human condition is not an individual affair.

You might look up this HN thread for ideas or inspiration.. lots of good stuff on that thread!

My recommendation? Get a NOC Technician job at a datacenter/hosting outfit or ISP. It’s pretty easy to get your foot in (at least somewhere). You won’t get paid much, but you WILL learn a helluva lot of actual real-world tech fundamentals, and most importantly, you’ll learn how to troubleshoot and move and act quickly.. just my 2 cents. It’s up to you how hard you want to work and where you go from there.

Even if you are already a skilled programmer say, and consider this path too entry level or whatever, believe me you’ll be glad you did it. You don’t want to be one of those programmers that know little about systems/networking/DNS/troubleshooting. You’ll be thankful for the sysadmin knowledge that you will gain and always have at your disposal down the line..

Depends on the game. Gems like Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal runs absolutely phenomenal. Valve's own games, including Alyx, also run as good as they do on win.

Sure, there were a few problems with Cyberpunk 2077 but they were resolved relatively quickly, given that the game has its own host of problems.

I have two almost identical high end machines running Ubuntu and Mankato. The first is more stable, the latter is simply better for gaming :/
I wish there were a way to pin this to the top of the discussion. It really adds a lot to this to have a link to the creation process.
I've thought of creating a social network that groups people into small groups of 100 or so, by interests and location. I would advertise it as a chance to escape the monoculture and explain that the cost if you must participate a minimum amount, like 1 post or comment per week on average or something. And then you could mix up the groups every year or two. It would have its pros and cons, but it would achieve the goal of letting small groups form and create their own cultures. It would also succeed regardless of its size, so long as you have enough users to form a small group.
Ya, making murder illegal is definitely unconstitutional.

Thank you, and it is about Pi and Sigma types in the end, yes. The "Entity" would likely be Pi, and the "Database" - that takes variable number of Type parameters and generalizes type classes - would be Sigma.

"DatabaseContext" should provide a low-level API to the database we want to use, so that our "Entity" or "Database" pi/sigma types generate the same API for our pure types regardless of the underlying database. Using generics, default function implementations etc.

Actually, for single-table it is quite possible even now - we can design an Entity type family that would take care of storing / retreiving flat record types in SQL or Mongo using the same API. We'd still need to pass table names explicitly though (that's where Pi types would be useful), while specific db connection would be hidden inside a monad.

What we can't do - is model relationships elegantly by using function types ("Person -> [Post]" etc) - that's where the "Database" typeclass comes in.

It could be automated, but would we want it to be? I don't get to see twitter's or facebook's back-end, but my guess is there is probably already a large sum of automation. Which leads to some of the very things people are complaining about. Right now, I don't see a path forward for automating moderating, meanwhile appeasing everyone. So, I think we would just see the same criticisms of HN emerge that are already present on the mainstream social networking platforms. People would just figure out a way with bots to sway the voting to suppress a voice or lift a voice artificially (something that is probably already done on twitter with people in both directions across all spectrum of opinions).

I could be wrong, I hope I am wrong.
Americans were lining up in the streets to get polio vaccine and were pissed when it was unavailable.

I think a whole lot of this angst boils down to society running well, due to this work in the past. Then people forget, believe it all works differently than it really does.

Now we are faced with a global problem, shared risks, shared resources and a whole lot of relearning to do.
For carrier devices it's quite common - and not just Android. I have an iPhone at home which refuses to work until you connect it to the internet and plug in a SIM card. It has to check for carrier unlock since it was sold as a locked phone in UK originally and now needs activation before functioning on each reset.
Those are based on the assumption that votes are equal. There are a lot of people I just don't have any interest in hearing from.

No automated system is going to fix eternal September style problems. And before you suggest that I could simply follow the groups I'm interested in, that's still not the same thing because the people in those groups will still be engaging with/distracted by the people I'm not following.

I remember reading that humans play the corners and edges of the board, where the game is somewhat understandable given a combination of keen perception, pattern recognition, and concrete calculation. It is on the other hand inhumanly hard to understand playing further in the board interior (other than by reaching it incrementally from the edges), maybe excepting a few legendary players like Go Seigen. But the AI's have been going there and doing stuff, letting humans learn things that were previously unknown.
Companies operate under license and the terms of that license include adherence to regulation.

Comply or be fined. That's what happens.
Could also be a combination of missing social queues, lag and low quality audio. If there's a teams session with multiple people, it happens quite often, that two or more people start talking at the same time, which feels very awkward.

This is something which happens in real life, too. But it's a lot easier to alleviate without lag and strong eye contact and other body queues.

The result is, that virtual discussions are moderated by a single participant and natural conversations are simply not possible that way.
Network engineer here with more than a decade of BGP peering experience on a T1 ISP: This theory is stupid for a variety of reasons.

it’s as bad as the centralization of television or cable networks into the hands of a few companies controlling the blinders.
If the world is imperfect enough to have wars, it is imperfect enough to have actors unwilling to formally wage a war against a nation with superior military but willing to inflict harm on it and its citizens for whatever reason (that nation’s invasive foreign policy and/or religious beliefs) through covertly planned surprise attacks. Spying and deceit may be seen as necessary evils to prevent or follow up on those attacks to prevent reoccurrence.

In an ideal world where no one competes for resources and no group wants to inflict harm on another group there would be no wars and no need for intelligence agencies.

It is a legitimate worry that, if approaching such a peaceful world would cause outflow of funding from people in those agencies, they may want to resist that by inventing artificial threats. Whether it is already a pressing concern is another question (I personally think there’s some way to go still).

IME mastodon/pleroma/"the fediverse" is really cool because you have two kind of communities you interact with.

1. Make sure you know the right languages. A lot of great jobs involve languages that aren’t “hip”. C++, C, etc jobs are usually pretty great in terms of content.

2. Pick a sub field of CS that you like and do a personal project in that field. Become familiar with the terms of art and the major algorithms that folks in that field care about. Then sell yourself as someone who is passionate about that field and make a point of letting recruiters know that this is the field you’re passionate about. Passion matters! Hiring managers want to see that shit.

3. Master one of the technologies you know. Pick the one you like the most.

Terraform is declarative, meaning: The stuff you write into the terraform files (TF) is exactly the stuff you get configured.

Example: you add a new database and a database user to the TF files, run terraform plan & apply, you do have the database and user configured. You remove the user and run plan & apply, terraform does remove the user.

It goes the other way too: if you add additional port rules to a network security group (e.g. in AWS) by hand, terraform will remove them when plan & apply because they are not defined in the TF files.

So in conclusion: for your declared state, there will be no drift.
It is not weird at all. These anti-competition thing would be result in billions in lawsuits if it happens in the US. China is still a developing country, it is still trying to figure out how to do things the best way. People have been complaining about Tencent and Alibaba's behaviours for quite some time now.

Authoritarian or not, the first task for governments is economy, which is the basis of ruling. Economy is basically religion v2.0, like it or not, you have to work with it. That's why even Taliban knows it is important. In the end, you need to have a strong economy, to keep people happy. Authoritarian government does not live in a different universe, they have to obey the physical law of this world.
The issues we face are complex and technical enough that I would like our leaders to be well-educated, preferably better educated than me or the public in general. It reminds me of the time ‘orthogonal’ came up in oral arguments and it was such a novel word for the Supreme Court that a justice paused to ask and remark on the word.
>up front sniffing of the passwords provided to the server

I haven't read either pdfs fully, but it seems to me no password is provided to the server (though I'm actually not sure what you mean by password or server). The OPAQUE protocol means the HSM can verify the user has the password without ever seeing the password. So the password is never provided to the HSM or any other server. It's asymmetric. And for the encryption key, it's stored in the HSM yes, but when sending it to the HSM, it's unsniffable because it's encrypted with the HSM's public key.

>doing an offline check of every possible

The HSM should prevent that by limiting the number of attempts. From the WhatsApp pdf:

>The HSM Backup Key Vault is responsible for enforcing password verification attempts

Of course, if there's a hardware vuln in the HSM, then the verification attempts can be bypassed, and the backup is only secure if the password is quite high entropy. It comes down to how likely there is to be a hardware vuln in the HSM. I think in practice HSMs tend to have hardware vulns somewhat frequently, which is why I said "theoretically" in my previous comment. If we theorize the HSM has no hardware vuln, then it's safe with a weak password. We also have to assume there's no backdoor built into the HSM, or the HSM keypair computation or distribution process.
Sure but building solidarity locally is the first step unless you have billions of dollars at your disposal.

In times of crisis, it's the local network that will support you, not the federal government. As much as we've been told to embrace individualism over the past century, we're still a cooperative species and will default to cooperation when things turn bad.

If you want to see how well top-down nation building works out, ask the Afghans. The reason the new government never took hold was that there was no political will to address corruption so the old system still endured in local bonds and power structures. You can't have structural reforms without addressing root causes.

Not everyone is selling a product nor do they care about catering to the lowest common denominator.
I especially hate the trend of people deliberately saying something controversial, to get more comments/likes/publicity.

One recent example is Piers Morgan in the UK, who randomly decided to criticise Emma Raducanu, a rather likeable British teenager, who just won the US open without dropping a set (including in qualifying rounds)! I can't understand why he would do that, other than to stir up some controversy, and get himself back in the public eye. Either way, it worked.
To add to this, on iOS I couldn’t get the cookie pop up to clear so after the first 3 sections I had to move on. The writing was indeed great but navigation and screen real estate for mobile made this a bit tough.
I think you mean to say that most people who are homeless make very poor financial and social decisions. The other way around is almost certainly false simply given how scarce homeless people are.

A Farewell to Simon Peyton Jones as He Leaves Microsoft Research
It was in the pdb for August.
For GPT-3, I think an example makes it clearer. When GPT-3 was asked the question [1]:

> Explain the pun in the following joke: “What does Adult Swim call their physical retail stores? Brick and Morty.”

It answered:

> … The pun “Brick and Morty” alludes to the cable television network “Adult Swim”, which broadcasts a cartoon series called “Rick and Morty”, a humorous parody of “Back to the Future” and other science fiction films. “Brick and Morty” refers not to the characters in the cartoon, but to physical stores that sell DVDs and merchandise based on the cartoon. The pun conflates two meanings of “Brick and Mortar”, a brick-and-mortar store and a brick which is part of a building.

It seems on track until you get to the last sentence, which demonstrates that it does not understand the pun at all. There's other examples on that site where it falls down, like adding two 5-digit numbers.

Since it's able to answer well things that match the human-written text that it ingested, but falls down on simple things otherwise, that suggests that a lot what appears to be verbal understanding is actually from the (extremely large) amount of human-written source text it ingested, and not added by GPT-3 itself.

>Well if Facebook is encrypting I'm hoping Apple/Google can't decrypt on their datacenters.

I was referring to the prior backup scheme where Facebook wasn't encrypting. It could accurately be described as encrypted at rest I think, but yet Google and Apple could read the contents I think.

>no ends and it is just a loop.

The terminology is getting pretty confusing at this point. I usually think of the ends as the intended parties to look at the data. If there are no ends, then no one will look at the data, meaning the data is useless. Actually if there's no beginning end, there's no one to create the data, so thus the data doesn't even exist.
3D Printed Hat Blasts the Rain Away
Small communities need less management. Population increase in the community offer chances of acquiring new assets: it has potential.

Management is everything: creating an environment and systems that facilitate the best allocation of resources.

Of course if your small team of three already contains "the masters", the result can be e.g. the CBM C64. And, they say, "in ancient Athens democracy was easier". But the small team did great thing because of the quality of its members, and a small community is facilitated by a reduced noise. Quality of members and noise control are the problem of management.
Arch Linux with Firefox 92.0 and uBlock activated works sometimes.

However, it seems somewhat brittle and sometimes the initial loading doesn't complete. I am not 100% certain, but it seems to help to switch to another tab while the page is loading. Feels a bit like a race condition while loading the engine which doesn't occur when the tab runs with a lower priority.

After pressing the Start button, everything works fine.

>Moving jobs entails significant risk.

Yes - but so does not moving jobs. I have several friends who played the big company game, got to a senior level and then got ditched. Their problem? Well - they got shafted and emptied out at peak expense time; mortgage, kids, divorces etc, they got emptied when they were still 15 years short of thier retirement target, and their CV's are mono-corporate.

This made finding work very challenging.

In olden days you could say confidently that if you got to director level in a big company in the UK you were set. There was a job for life at a very nice salary if you wanted it.
D has a lot to offer. But C absolutely crushes everything else in the embedded space, on micro-controllers, and if a language wants to be a C replacement, it'll have to leave C gasping right there. D quite simply never tried.

Zig on the other hand seems like a silver bullet aimed straight at C's heart, the embedded space. Once it arrives it'll only have to worry about Rust.

Rust is the black hole at the center of the software universe, slowly sucking the blood out of everything else. Zig vs Rust is shaping up to be an epic battle, like the Jedi vs the Empire, for sure :)
