A team from Berkeley led by Luis Alvarez used Cosmic Rays to image the inside of the Great Pyramid in the 1960's[0]. tl;dr it's solid rock. My favorite story from the effort was they briefly had incredible excitement because they found a chamber. The excitement lasted until they realized they had neglected to include the room where the detectors were located, which the system detected correctly, in their analytical model of the structure (providing their method was able to identify unpredicted rooms in the structure).

I think you are strawmaning my arguments.

Personally, I would include encryption libraries in the "system libraries" (I used that term on purpose) that could be dynamically linked.

However, even if they are, you still want to recompile every user whenever that library is updated because of possible ABI and API breaks. And some of those encryption libraries have a history of API breaks.

Also, I am building the ideas I laid out in the post, which should make it easier to handle dynamically-linked and statically-linked encryption libraries.
Probably even easier than that since it seems like half the people getting involved in MLM scheme suddenly title themselves CEO.

Do you mean that you built them using Copilot, or that you don't want Copilot to use them? Or something else entirely?
I don't think it's a problem we can blame on technology.
In my case, it just reaffirms the notion that being a smart fool is not really an oxymoron, and that people at large are fools, myself included.

We all sometimes have a tendency to talk about the things we know jack about while posing as experts because we read an article in the Guardian about it once, or an abstract from a paper. Some more than others.

In the world of show business and television, I’ve seen celebrities — singers, stand up comedians, those kinds of people — often being asked about their stance on complicated political issues or life advice as such — and they spoke bullshit with a mild air of authority instead of running away, which a sensible person should have done. The thing, though, is, that the fact they are celebrities means there are crowds of fans who will listen to whatever they say as if it was God’s own truth.

Hey, you can treat what I just wrote as uninformed bullshit, likely you even have reasons to, like data to contradict my statements. It’s ok. I’m likely a fool.
It was my impression that he was the first articulator of the singularity concept. Other than fashion, why do you think it's outdated?

I consider Rainbow's End to be a pretty good picture of what it might be like to live through the singularity.

Wanted to play Rocket league with my friends one night. Had to reinstall and download 16 GB! For some radio cars driving around in an arena, what the H? This should be 500 MB tops, and that would be generous. But it was nothing to my gamer friends, they couldn't understand why I'm so upset. Look, I've got kids and I have no time to wait for a 16 GB download when all I have is 2 hours to play. Another time I wanted to play some Minesweeper and found out it's not included in Windows anymore, you have to create an _account_ with Microsoft to download it, and lo and behold, it's over 100 MB. Like really? This should not be much more than 100 KB, 1 MB to be generous.

When it comes down to it, developers are disrespecting users, whether it's disregard for the compute (Web slowness), bandwith or storage. I can understand if textures are higher res these days, but in many cases I suspect it has more to do with skins, IAP and general developer laziness.

Buying and downloading Valheim was a breath of fresh air though, something like 1 GB and a beautiful game.
If a security fix must break the API, you can bump up the SONAME which forces all packages depending on your shared library to recompile against the new version. This is comparable to the requirements under static linking, but you only have to do it when absolutely needed.
Yeah, I used to see it in bars all the time 10 years ago. Full 16x9, full HD. It was clear that they went back to the original film to make an HD version.
Indeed. What you describe is clearly populist nihilism.

"They" aka the corrupt elite are screwing up "real people" who are poor. Ills of the system are moral issue, not really a structural issue.
In my opinion the timing is wrong for such games. NFT/crypto is still too damn raw considering accessibility. They won't be able to capture a decisive market share from common/non-crypto games. They also won't have first mover advantage because what's fundamental for a game is the game itself.

What would it take to create / adapt an intelligence that would last that long without falling into a very deep rut, as far as thinking goes? Maybe they've died of boredom, maybe they've discovered everything they originally sought to learn, maybe they've Sublimed (yes, I know, that's a Culture series thing) or otherwise gone to a higher plane of existence.

It would have been interesting to explore this further, but perhaps Vinge didn't think he could pull that off.

Cost of raw materials? What raw materials are we importing to build factories?

As for consumer goods, the Chinese didn't raise their prices, they ate the cost of that tariff. The price increases we are seeing are almost entirely related to shipping costs. Manufacturers who have long term contracts or their own leased vessels (Walmart), are still able to deliver and keep prices in check.
I recently discoveree the "kai" version of popular animes, meaning a recut of the hundred of episodes by fans to remove repeatitions, fillers, useless flashbacks and long stares or empty dialogs that just waste time.

You mean something like http://prize.hutter1.net/ ?

The problem is that once you fix the architecture (for example a x64 compatible processor) and you try to compress every possible 1GB files like in my link, for some of them you will get a size of descompresor+data that is very small, specially if you have a lot of time. This is essentially the challenge. The articles in Wikipedia have a lot of internal structure, so if you are smart and/or have lot time you can get a very small size.

Anyway, once you fixed the architecture, it is possible that an evil person looks at the details of the the architecture and make a file that is so weird that the size of descompresor+data is bigger, in spite you are very smart or you have a lot of time to try the brute force approach.

The Pigeonhole Principle guarantees that the evil person can always success, in spite the file with the problem may not be very interesting and it may be very difficult to find it.

(Actually, any file with cryptography random number will probably work. A file with pseudo random numbers is not enough, because with enough patient you may find the algorithm, seed and offset and use that as the compressed version. The digits of pi skipping the first million is also a bad idea, because is also a ba idea for the same reason.)
It doesn't work. If it did work, you could apply it separately to every string containing 100 bits and end up with 2^100 separate strings containing fewer than 100 bits, each of which decodes to a unique 100-bit string.

Because there needs to be an aligned sponsor that shares the general values and goals of the forum, and that's rare.

HN would suck without dang in my opinion, but what dang does is funded by a very wealthy company that has the resource to spare and, importantly, the forum aligns with the company's interest. In particular, in the past 3-4 years as HN has seen a growing user base and more "general audience"-type content, dang's impact has been essential in keeping things from "running off the rails" as usually happens when platforms grow.

FWIW there are a couple other forums (though more niche than HN) I frequent that I feel do similarly well from a moderation perspective, but again it's usually because 1 person can be a full-time, great moderator.
Ok sure..

"Before a script is fully finished" is a long way from "before a script was even written".

Script rewrites happen throughout the whole process, even well into post-production sometimes (with re-shoots etc)..

That's not at all the same thing as "before a script is written".
The flip side is that one will be a much better senior engineer after having been a CEO (or even a manager, or just had a diversity of roles). Most managers say they care more about soft skills than hard skills, and that's actually how you build those soft skills.

Most engineers like tech, but have little exposure to how they interact with the larger organizational structure and design, with customers, with fundraising, and with a slew of other things. Stepping through a few roles gives that visibility. That makes for a better engineer.

I'll start and end my career in a tech role, but I do periodically do dives into other sorts of roles in the meantime.
To be fair, if you dynamically link to OpenSSL, your binary has a builtin expiration date too, and it's very likely the same date.
Why do you claim there are not? Are you asking for examples? I’m sure there are many subreddits that are similar in size to HN (probably some are larger) and many are surely “serious” as well. I would presume there are other such communities outside of HN, reddit, etc. but I don’t know for sure.

> Sure, most security fixes do not break the ABI or API. But it only takes one, and then you have a security issue.

As someone who has been a Unix sysadmin for almost twenty years now, I don't recall every installing a patch or package update that broke the ABI/API.

If one should happen to occur next week, I'll still go with leaning towards linked libraries, as their convenience out-weights (has out-weighted) the once-in-twenty-years occurrence of breakage.

> It's all thoughts and prayers. I'm a religious person, but thoughts and prayers are not a good way to do computer security.

Ditto. But "faith" and "trust" are (almost) synonyms. And I trust the updaters of libraries to be able to get out a security update in short order more than I trust the possibility of all the package maintainers that link to it to be able to coördinate a quick update.

When OpenSSL's Heartbleed occurred it was one package update and restarting of a bunch of processes (helped by the checkrestart utility in the debian-goodies package). That's a lot quicker than updating a bazillion dependents.

The pricing available here (for guaranteed new, genuine parts and labor) is actually cheaper than the cost of genuine replacement screens available on ebay at first glance, the first genuine iphone 11 screen I found on ebay that wasn't a chinese offbrand or used assembly is $235 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/174952166934) whereas apple quotes $199 for a new 11 screen and replacement service.

> There have been mentions of the translated code being further JIT'd at the runtime, but I have not seen the proof of that claim.

I've seen mentions of a JIT path but only if the AOT path doesn't cover the use case (e.g. an x86 app with dynamic code generation) not as an optimization pass. https://support.apple.com/guide/security/rosetta-2-on-a-mac-...

Windows decided to go the "always JIT and just cache frequent code blocks" method though. In the end whichever you choose it doesn't seem to make a big difference.

> Windows for ARM is compiled for the ARM memory model, is executed natively and runs at the near native M1 speed. There is [some] hypevisor overhead, but there is no emulation involved.

This section was referring to the emulation performance not native code performance:

Ah the speed runnin community is such a gem. So much effort, so much passion, for something that will disapear like a tear in the rain.
Well let's analyze it using the game from the paper. An attacker could do the following I believe:

1. Take something compressible like x0=AAAA...

2. Compress to get y0.

3. Take x1=y0. Compress to get y1. Now most likely y0=y1 meaning that decompressing y1 doesn't give x1, so you lost. But if y1 != y0, then

4. Take x{i+1} = y{i} and compress. Eventually there will be a collision.

Preventing this is why the author's scheme is so complex.
You're still missing the point. Please read the edit I made to root comment.
Well now thanks to the progressive caucus their job also includes solving racial inequality an climate change. That will work out, I’m sure.
The entire question is whether this executed smart contract will be treated as an actual binding contract.

I see no reason why it should not be - parties entered into it freely for adequate consideration. Parties were well aware they were entering into a contract ("smart contract"), and by the technical format of the contract did contemplate that they could end up with an unfavorable result due to "bugs" or other unforgiving consequences of its extremely formal definition.

This is the crux of the matter. If you've got a reason why this smart contract could possibly not end up being treated as a contract, then you need to make that argument. You can't just keep asserting that the payments are mistaken transfers without an actual argument.

Furthermore, unless/until setting aside smart contracts were to become well established case law, recipients of the windfall should be able to rely on such reasoning, making keeping the tokens decidedly not fraud or conversion.

That doesn't work, since there's no way to distinguish a compressed file from an uncompressed file that just happens to have the same contents. The hash doesn't help with that since that has collisions, it's the same pigeon hole issue.

Most files in the space of all possible files will be essentially random and not compress, and adding a header will make them larger.
I agree, but if you're bundling the dependencies why not just statically link them too? I've never understood the way macOS does it (dynamic linking, but app bundles ship with the libraries they need included).
Fails if fed its own output again if that was compressed before, and now goes in the uncompressed case.

Unfortunately, most of traditional media is both really intertwined with government actors, and mostly interested in matters of politics, instead of sciences, technology, and more meaningful and informative things.

Actually, I'm not so sure it's obvious, and I have concerns about how the study is being interpreted.

People don't actually just go around talking to strangers, so if it was something everyone loved there must be a reason it doesn't happen more often.

I think this is a case where experimental or study context actually is really important.

If you're in an experimental context where you're either aware of the general scenario to occur, or that something unusual might occur, talking to a stranger is really different from out in the real world. That is, sitting in a lab room knowing that what you're about to do might be unusual, and is occurring in the context of a study, being monitored by researchers, is really different from being approached by a stranger with an unknown agenda at an unexpected moment.

Even the willingness to participate suggests a different scenario. The people willing to participate might be different, and in the very least are willing to do so in that moment. For instance, in the paper they asked people to approach others on a London train, but my guess is the people who would be most irritated by talking to a stranger (or having them talk to you) avoided the researchers entirely or declined to participate.

I think there are a lot of benefits to talking to strangers, but there can also be a lot of costs, and when it's occcurring in a totally unregulated environment can be slightly risky. I'm not at all suggesting people shouldn't talk to strangers but I think the study is being extremely misinterpreted. To me it's a prime example of how study context creates limitations to generalizability, something that should be discussed in introductory college psychology courses.
