For those who like myself don't know what PSP might be, from the article:

> In short, it’s a coprocessor that has access to just about every part of the computers to which it’s inside. This makes it a prime target for attacks. Introduced around 2013, it’s also entirely closed source, existing as an unknown black box within modern AMD CPUs, which makes the security-conscious highly wary. Operating at a low-level, entirely outside the purview of the main CPU and operating system, the PSP, like the IME, is often considered a potential backdoor into a machine.

Physically assaulting a cop is a much lower bar than your thinking, an unwanted touch is physical assault.
What if you don't want OTA features, but a simple car you can fix separately form the manufacturer's supply chain?

This might not be a huge concern for the HN demographic, but it is for developing countries operating whatever vehicles the EU deems too dangerous or polluting for their roads. There are no PCBs making their way to Central Asia.

The problem with black boxes is that they work until they don't. In some cases like fuel injection, they're a significant reliability improvement. In others they're a ticking time bomb that can make the entire vehicle unusable.

This a problem in the motorcycle world. You now have bikes that are dead because of computer issues. Small pebbles if you're near a dealership, possibly deadly if you use adventure bikes for their intended purpose.
I guess since he lives in Mar-a-Lago this is the circuit of his domicile but boy, does this feel like a distortion of process. He accepted a contract which probably states conditional mediation and which court to be in. I don't think Twitter incorporated in Florida. Twitter isn't a common carrier, it's a private channel. I'd say he has pretty limited recourse, but I'm not a lawyer. I hope his lawyers get paid.
...News just in: there's an article today on The Conversation about eugenetic practices having been carried on in the USA in the past hundred years, and still ongoing: they involve forced sterilization of a considerable number of people.

So, since the "idea" has actual current practice, you may want it to be in the foreground, not «suppress[ed]».

https://theconversation.com/forced-sterilization-policies-in...

And again about school, we were taught about the eugenetic effort of mid century in primary school, when we were eight years old: relatively "mature" content, but is it possible (yes, it is) that "if you treat children like children (and adults like children), they will behave like children?".
Been using it for years, love it and will never go back to Google, which I resort to on no more than 5% of my searches in English.
> Personally for me - this led to burnout and I have quit last two jobs that used Agile faster than I have the 2 before that didn't use Agile.

So much this. The continuous mental stress that agile imposes is so harmful. Having to re-justify your job every morning in daily status meetings, then having to spend all day worrying about having enough to say tomorrow. Counterproductively, it prevents me from getting in the zone and getting more done, so now I have less to status report tomorrow.

Apparently it's not just me either. I know someone who is a mental health professional (Silicon Valley area) and they've mentioned seeing an increasing trend of patients who bring up agile at the workplace as a cause for the stress that leads them to go see a mental health professional.

> The only "problem" here that is caused by IPv6 is the SD-WAN / multi-provider scenario. Even that is solvable. There are so many IPv6 addresses that your local router can have a unique routable range that it can hand out to the local network, "masking" the external internet provider addresses in the same way that IPv4 routing does it. That's not NAT, that's just routing. E.g. I have a customer that uses a non-RFC1918 public range internally and they have 5 ISP uplinks. They don't need to renumber their internal range just to fail over to another link.

Neither does anyone using IPv4.

Does your customer use BGP for that public IPv6 range? Do they have cellular links? Can they load balance some traffic over two/three links? Can they direct certain protocols over different carriers?
Yeah I was thinking about that example, but wasn't their agenda to tie Solaris to their expensive hardware (whereas Redhat is purely a software company)? And the whole appeal of Linux was - get a "serious" UNIX on a commodity no-brand hardware? I don't know these parts of history that well, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
This, is, of course, nonsense.

Consciousness implies awareness and perception of the world (and not necessarily self-awareness and ability of introspection).

And life is a result of selection what works and fits by trial and error.

Cells are mechanisms and aggregates of other mechanisms. The more correct word would be a process. Biological processes, which is a biochemical processes.
That would still not solve all the localised polution caused by burning it in cars.
Why do you attribute this improvement to computers? There were many parallel improvements in manufacturing that are fairly well documented and taught about.
Whats your secret?
Like others mentioned, this list is a mix of some valid known issues and some low quality bad-faith bashing filled with incorrections. It's also weird that it goes all the way back to 5 years ago, given how young this technology is and all the improvements it has seen since then.
Anyway, I'm glad Lightning has been gaining momentum lately. Lots of innovation happening, and lots more still to do to address its current flaws.
How can one find the actual filing? Is it public?
What would happen in the real world? If fully compact means full of material, then would corners have more material that would spill over after the turn? Or would this cause so much friction that materials would stop moving?

I think we need a mythbusters style investigation on this.

I'm an electronics engineer with 11+ years of experience in FPGA/RTL design and MCU/embedded development. I've mainly worked in the space industry, integrated various peripherals (I2C, SPI, 1553, UART, ...) and microprocessors into ASICs (not the shoes).

I would love to work on new technical challenges in electronics, FPGA or embedded SW.

You don't own a garage, so nobody should get to own repairable vehicles?

The problem with fancy electronics is that only a few people chosen, trained and supplied by the manufacturer can work on them. This effectively gives them a monopoly on maintenance. Your mechanic will be cut out of that deal.

This also creates a risk for the second hand market, not just in first world countries, but wherever they inherit cars that don't pass inspection. Some garage in Georgia (the country) won't be kitted out to fix computer issues and keep the car running. They can't expect help from OEM, nor third party replacement parts. It's a great planned obsolescence strategy.
Yes you are right, I confused shares with other financial instruments.
You are correct, thanks for replying.
Trees are like solar-powered carbon capture machines.
Just some anecdata : AFAIK this is not allowed in The Netherlands. Retailers are not allowed to mine purchasing data on an individual level.
> intends to reshape the electorate and dilute the voting interests of legal citizens

Even if this characterization of the bill were accurate, those people would then be legal citizens. Are they then diluting their own voting interests? At any rate people being born also dilutes voting interests, should we end that too, or are only people born to it inherently worthy of citizenship?

Anyways, what, precisely, makes these people's interests less valid than those citizens? Most of them are paying taxes and working and raising families. They're literally asking to be subject to the same rights and responsibilities as citizens are. Wow how horrible.
How do you define "full consequences"?

> eventually someone has to be in the position to actually extract real value out of the stock

what is "real" value?

If it's cash, then you can either sell the stock itself, to somebody else, which can repeat infinitely as long as the company is a going concern. There's no end - because there's no end to the profits of a company that continue to produce profits.

Of course, it might end one day, but it would be the last bag holder who purchased a dying company (imagine if apple became what IBM is today). But that's got nothing to do with the structure and ownership of stocks, but that the company's performance declined.

In your view, is information a fundamental or emergent phenomena in physics?
Cryptocurrencies really do need no zealots when some governments continue acting like this.

Ah. So it does have more than climate change issues in it.

As a Canuck, I see this as a huge US weakness. These megabills, riders and such.

The parent's point is valid. If people cared, really, really cared, it would be a single purpose bill.

It would be more effective too, in that, people could legitimately say... this is only about climate change. Nothing else. What part of this do you object to?

Right now, it clearly is not, and lo and behold, people can easily reject it, and even have very valid reasons for doing so.
The Internet and Immortality
I made a video to explain parts of their consensus algorithm https://www.cryptologie.net/article/484/algorands-cryptograp...
Americans (and Australians) will never accept any changes that negatively impact their lives or wallets. Especially when the consequences of climate change are not clear and present. As democracies, we will simply vote out any government that asks us to change our ways.

I think Covid19 demonstrates how resistant people are to change, and that they are not willing to make sacrifices for the greater good.

Nearly 700,000 Americans have died as a direct result of Covid, can you imagine how many people will have to die before people give up air travel or eating beef.

Covid has made me realize that no solution that asks people to wind back energy use will work, we need to push forward and develop carbon sequestration and other terrafoming technologies.
Actually, yes. Market data packets are timestamped as they leave the exchange, so you know exactly how many microseconds they took to get to you. You also know exactly how long they would have taken to, say, cross the Atlantic via fiber. If a copy of the packet already got to you (and everybody else) via fiber, you also know that.

Finally, when your through-free-space data channel is reliably 10 ms faster than a fiber link, varying by a millisecond or five this way or that doesn't make much difference. Five ms of lead time is as good as 15. All you might not know immediately is whether somebody else is also getting packets early via Starlink. But it doesn't take long to find out.
You can run lift tests on Facebook which measure exactly that.

You can't measure it across multiple advertising platforms very effectively though.
Economics only holds if the assumption of economics hold enough to be a reasonable approximation of reality. They most certainly don't if you're printing 1000x more fiat every year.

The weakest assumption of MMT and the reason it isn't considered a school or economics is that issuing government debt won't affect private sector debt.

>The government prints as much of it as it wants

This don't think it's quite fair. MMT thinks that the amount of money it would take to reach full employment is the maximum limit of which you can issue debt. I don't really see how that's much different from just issuing infinite debt though, especially for a case like Venezuela.

Decentralized vulnerability disclosure does not work
Anybody else frustrated with GitHub's advisory publishing model? Any suggestion on how to incentivize maintainers to take such reports seriously?
Even in deepest times of such "unhapiness", dissenters were not suddenly vanishing like they do now in China.
There’s also the American who’s sons are currently held in china trying to get the father to return to China on some fraud charges.
If software was developed the way politicians pass laws, Linux would get one master commit every few years with thousands of unrelated things in it, from typo fixes to sketchy telemetry, with a 1500 pages long description, and the commit would be branded as "build security better". The review would be a months long show where maintainers of all factions with their own agendas would try to negotiate behind the closed doors. Linus would be advocating for splitting the "pile of garbage" into individual commits, but the agitated mob (who thinks Linux is a game on Xbox) would be trying to bully him on Twitter for having a different opinion.
Hungarian pretty much only does that to ease pronounciation, ie. when two consonants can't be pronounced after each other eg. "utca" (means street) etc.
Perl is not generally faster than awk. Obviously there are cases where perl is faster, but for the text smashing that awk is meant for, perl usually much slower, particularly than mawk or recent gawk versions. mawk in particular is shockingly fast.
You can do "g!" instead of "!g" on mobile. (And even hn! works, but not every other one.) This helped me considerably
> If society finds they're causing harm, it will hold them accountable for it.

Our society does a really bad job at holding people accountable for the harm they do. What makes you think it would be any different for software?
New cars are reliable because we got better at making cars, not because they're loaded with new points of failure. This started in the 90s at the very least.

Natural gas price increases are due to reduced delivery from Russia.

Reduced petrol availability in Great Britain (note: no problems in Northern Ireland) is due to Brexit.
The last sentence was from me. The four items are from the SICP (not TAOCP, my mistake). They all are mandated by IEEE scheme standard.

I have encountered many functionnal languages when I was student (caml-light (the ancestor of ocaml), lelisp, gofer (a cousin of haskell), miranda, graal, FP systems, yafool).

The typing may be dynamic or static. The evaluation may be strict or lazy. They may have homoiconicity or a more suggared syntax. All theses choices are valid. These languages have in common the list of fundamental properties. IMHO, this list of 4 items encompass many aspects of SICP. When I evaluate a language, this list helps me understand the qualities and limitations of a language. For example, Perl5 does not have a true garbage collector. javascript does not have tail recursion. Knowing these limitations, I will not code the same way. In Perl5, I will take care of breaking unused circular data. In javascript, I will reorganise highly recursive algorithms.
The downvotes are likely because you’ve made an outlandish claim that is unlikely to hold up to investigation - that America admits more immigrants than the population of some democracies that criticise it.

Total estimated population of unauthorised migrants in the US is around 11.4 million and declining (around 3% of population). 310,000 unauthorised migrants arrive in a year https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/immigra...

It looks like somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 people each year step to the next stage of their path to naturalisation in the US, this is probably the most reasonable way to count migrants. https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/special-reports/l...

That would give a total of around 500,000 migrants a year, the population of the smallest G8 country (Canada) is around 38 million.

The only way to get close to Canada’s population is to take the all-time estimated immigrant population (around 45 million, or 13.7% of population).

The closest you can get with the present-tense “admits” rather than “over 60 years has admitted” is to take all I-94 entries, which are explicitly non-immigrant entries, include tourists and office-visit visas, and would not be part of any welfare state.

There is no need to invent a perpetual motion machine to support people who are (broadly) supporting themselves (if through a legal migration route) or whose total size accounting for deaths and those who leave by choice is stable (if through an unauthorised route).
In order to garnish a paycheck, the creditor needs to take you to court, and a judge needs to issue a Judgement.

This is why mandatory arbitrations need to be abolished. I can almost guarantee this was a MD. Arbitrators usually side with the creditor--99.99% of the time.

If you do get a Judgement against you, you do gave rights.

You can keep certain personal property, but if you make a decent income, they can take part of your wage.

(Stealing credit us bad, but so is Mandatory Arbitration. Obama talked about getting rid it it. Trump never talked about it. I would like to see Biden do something, but then again he's from Delaware. He might decide enough is enough though with his advancing age?)
I actually do think you have a point about the fetishization of trivia knowledge in this field. It's really not ideal, and I think it's more driven by social dysfunction or over-compensation for various kinds of imposter syndrome.

But that is not this. In the case of inverting a binary tree, what you call logic-puzzle minutiae is just taking a fundamental building block in computer science (binary trees) and asking the person to demonstrate even the faintest ability when it comes to writing an incredibly basic algorithm. Max Howell not only can't do it, but he doesn't even see why he should need to know how to do it!

That kind of proud ignorance is what grinds my gears. I'm sure someone can gather requirements and deliver value to customers and fix bugs and string together code and everything without knowing how to work with trees, but I don't really care. If they've somehow gotten that far without even a glimmer of curiosity about the fundamentals of computer science then something is disturbingly wrong, and I would worry about what other mammoth blind spots they inexplicably have.
> Given that, making ctype only work for ASCII (and maybe EBCDIC if you're really unlucky, which glibc is) is basically sufficient.

Of course, but then why complain that glibc doesn't work outsid of ascii is the point.
Ah. My favorite guitarist's name dropped.

It should be noted that Holdsworth actually played a bit of violin (you can hear it on Temporary Fault off I.O.U.; Karzie Key off the infamous Velvet Darkness album; and recordings of Tempest, Soft Machine, w/ Gordon Beck, and Gong).

Holdsworth even experimented with fifths tuning on his SynthAxe (since you could just do that in software), most notably for the song Non Brewed Condiment[1] off Atavachron, and the solo in In the Mystery, I believe, and had a separately tuned guitar for the live performance of the aforementioned song[2].

There's an interview from the 90s where he talks about his thoughts on fourths vs fifths[3].

He later said at a clinic (in the 2000s) that if he were to relearn the guitar, he would've used all-fourths tuning[4].

And yet, is he wrong? It's a plain fact that after busting your ass for a year, your promotion will in most cases be shot down during performance review for all the usual scope ("not enough scope", "I want to see more leadership", "almost there but let's consider it in a year", etc)... and yet a single day of strong interviews can get you that bump just like that.

Whether the British are prone to respect authority because of their language is debatable. It's less debatable whether those in a larger Anglophone nation are prone to respect authority! Just look at some of the behaviours we've seen over the last 18 months.
I recall most trees are actually counted by the number and not necessarily volume or any other more reasonable metric. For example here in the Netherlands you can easily cut down vast amount of trees as long as you simply replant the same amount of trees. Diversity doesn't matter and it results in images of seeing incredibly dense populated pine trees, that are so close they're even choking each other and just the tips survive. Suffice to day these "forests" don't really live long.

Sometimes I think some of the most valuable assets will be century old trees.
