I thought you were right until I decided to look into it myself, turns out we were both wrong. Zero-knowledge proofs are probabilistic and contain a soundness error which is the probability of guessing the correct answer. This can, in some but not all cases, be brought down arbitrarily close to 0, but it can never be 0 exactly.

It varies on sector. Banking/financial is much more likely to do this than other sectors. It's also more common lower down the economic ladder, just one more way we punish the poor for their poverty.
> I think a lot of folks forget that Facebook wanted to come in and clean up some of the filth in social media. They felt that by attaching your _real_ name to your posts, instead of a handle as was the traditional practice, that you would have something to lose (social standing, esteem, etc) and so you would be more thoughtful about your actions. The contrasts at the time were reddit, SomethingAwful, and 4chan. There was _definitely_ extant toxicity on the internet and there were funny posts in the early days of GMail that you could stop them from displaying ads by inserting lots of expletives and bad words in your email (and so some would have GMail signatures that just lumped bad words in together and explained it as an ad circumvention thing).

This is such a great point. The pre-Facebook Internet was full of anonymous random garbage. But everyone knew it was inconsequential garbage. Adding real names and likes changed all that: today garbage has gained legitimacy and is displacing prior forms thereof.

It's the US legacy media that is the main reason for the polarisation - the two party system is a factor, but the regular media is the one pitting "us vs. them" in every single minute of every broadcast.

Social media has downsides, but to lay the blame firmly at the feet of Facebook is to willfully ignore the culpability of CNN, Fox, the NYTimes, Washington Post, and many other legacy media outlets that are making tons of money otherizing the part of the country that is not their readership.

Intermittent fasting isn't about reducing the number of meals, or in theory the total calorific intake, but rather the window in which food is consumed. That said, it's entirely possible that one influences the pother.

I think there's value in rolling the different failure modes up into a single concept for discussion and recall. And the whole thing comes in at 5 pages! "The thing that caused this problem isn't necessarily what's sustaining it" is something I'll commonly call out to people managing an incident, often before we know what the failure modes are.

What you describe makes sense as a service on its own, but a tech consultancy doing work with a non tech cofounder longer term can be problematic:

- startups, in general, and especially before any funding, have cashflow issues. So you might deal with lots of late or non payments

- non tech founders can have technically infeasible ideas, and don’t understand how hard/costly tech gets. If things go south, consultants make great scapegoats

- non tech founders starting a tech company may struggle to get funding without a solid, fully committed true tech cofounder

- founders in general don’t have experience with hiring software contractors. They don’t have people on staff that understand contract terms. They could sign something without understanding it, only later to get mad that they paid for dev hours on a feature the founder changed their mind on weeks later.

- if the product isnt successful, consultants make great scapegoats. It’s often going to be your fault, because that’s easier than admitting the product was bad.

I think for it to work you have to be someone truly committed to the founders problem space. You have to really be good at assessing whether someone’s an asshole, and likely to scare you over. You have to be amazing at building trust and showing commitment to this individual. This relationship will make or break you. It may end up not being far off from actually being a cofounder!

Just wanted to say, based on my extensive experience with fasting, this is normal. There seems to be a psychological barrier about how easy it 'should' be or 'used to' be, and you beat yourself up about it which makes things even worse.

Every time I've made a habit of extended fasting, or prolonged intermittent fasting, and taken a break longer than 6 to 9 weeks, restarting is very... very hard.
Not CPUs but a lot of other components are completely custom, developed in-house. A well known example: TPUs. Google is one of the world's largest manufacturer of servers and other DC equipment, actually, it's just that none of that is for sale (though a lot is for rent :) ).
Surprising fact about the sun: it actually produces less heat per unit volume than a compost pile - this makes sense when you consider that fusion events are very rare.

The reason the sun is so hot is that it has an enormous ratio of volume to surface area. Heat emission due to radiative cooling is proportional to the surface area, but heat creation due to fusion is proportional to the volume.

I think that level of sophistication is typical of soft cores. If you need a high performance CPU you don’t use a soft core. You use a soft core when part of your FPGA project can be more easily expressed as a CPU, but still needs tight coupling with the rest of the FPGA.

This is meant to compete with Cortex-M1 and MicroBlaze, not with Cortex-A78 or Core i9 or something.
Jobs was chronically focused on producing products that were ahead of the market. As a consequence, the Macintosh and the NeXT were incredible, forward-looking, and overpriced for the market.

I’m by no means happy or in agreement with his “closed system” thinking, but it’s worth noting that the iPhone was exactly that.
yeah.. it takes some googling, but a few devices (eg. sonoff plugs) can be flashed with tasmota, and some (mostly zigbee) can be used directly with a usb dongle and zigbee2mqtt, without any vendor-based cloud service (eg. tuya valves for radiators, ikea bulbs, sensors,...). But yeah, either way, you have to do research before you buy the device :)

Actually they're even older.

When I talked to my dad about RDBMS he was like "weeeelll, sure, there's things like DB2 UDB that do relational but performance wise, nothing beats reading the data straight by key in exactly the format you need.".

DB2 UDB: "Initial release: 1987; 34 years ago". I.e. what he would rather use and is sort of the NoSQL equivalent is _even older than that_.

Background: he started off with 360 assembler and worked all his working life on IBM Mainframes and the various technologies in and around it. They had it all and they had it before it came to "us". We're just re-inventing most of these things on much cheaper and more open hardware and software.

I like the idea of stacking up a lot of 1 meter cubes of pure carbon (graphite, or diamond!) into nice shapes. Each cube is just over 2 metric tons (2266 kg) of carbon, or the equivalent of 8 metric tons of carbon dioxide. 20 cubic kilometers per year is enough to get us back to pre-industrial levels in no time, and build some interesting monuments while we're at it. A roughly 4-kilometer tall pyramid, anyone? Low low price of ~4 trillion dollars each.

Casually building pyramids out of the ~57 cubic kilometers of carbon blocks would be pretty neat. Three 4 kilometer tall square based pyramids would do it.

They would also be the largest structures ever built by humanity by an order of magnitude. If we did it in Australia, we could employ the entire country twice over, and they would be the 3 new tallest mountains in Down Under (by 1,772m).

I think, honestly, that a huge thing is that when you put together basically the entirety of the internet, and society into a giant conversational feedback loop you're bound to spin out the worst, especially if FB wasn't 100% of the time trying to filter it (which they weren't because its a business and the problems weren't always equally known).

100mW (19.8dBm, as per TFM) up close, delivered direct by a waveguide (as per TFM) is a whole lot of energy for something the size of a rat. Hardly a surprise that it would have an effect. Add more power and you can cook them.
My dream is a database where I just add nodes to physical machines by running a docker container and I query using whatever mechanism.

From there it would just auto heal, scale and do all the ops by itself. CouchDB is sort of like this in theory (definitely not in practice).
You could make an account with restricted permissions then use ssh-add for automated authentication.
There's nothing wrong with reading logs backwards and it is arguably better because (when testing or diagnosing exceptions) finding the end of the log is generally quicker than finding the point midway through the log where your task ran.

There's nothing stopping you from adding "Begin User Login" logging calls if you want to make the nesting more explicit. If you no idea why stuff is being called, it's only because you have unlogged branches in your code.

and it is way better than reporting success when it hasn't actually happened.
Finding a TPM module for my ASRock board is difficult, and I'm not going to upgrade my rig to get there. My board has a header for TPM - x399m - do I need to use an ASRock TPM module or can I just use any TPM module that is the same pinout? I'm embarrassed to say I just don't know.

This document doesn't address any TPM conversation except how to turn it on if yours is disabled. Guess I'm sticking with 10!

>>Are people who had COVID actually more likely to have had significant periods of physical isolation in 2020 than people who didn't have COVID?

Any one who was diagnosed with having had COVID was prescribed to two weeks of total physical isolation, which is pretty unusual experience amongst people who did receive a COVID diagnosis. But yes it's possible that this did not have a significant impact. We wouldn't know without controlling for it.

>>In any case, unless you're claiming that social isolation causes a loss of taste and smell that persists for 8+ months, it's pretty clear that some symptoms of COVID persist for a long time in a significant minority of the population.

The two week physical isolation is one of many psychosocial differences between the two groups, and could affect one of many of the reported symptoms of long-COVID, some of which are much more likely to have a psychosomatic origin than loss of smell/taste, like the most commonly reported "long-COVID" symptom: anxiety.

Like any infection, long-term effects in some cases are very likely. The question is how many effects, and how common they are. Without much more rigorous studies, or some of cross-comparative analysis showing that COVID infections result in a markedly more severe clinical presentation than other infections, I think it's irresponsible to start sounding the alarm about some impending public health crisis from long-COVID. The very hysteria this could rouse could result in far more harm to public health, through more physical/social isolation and greater economic decline, both of which have a documented negative impact on health.

And the harm that a climate of fear can cause is already evident, from the massive increase in childhood overweightedness/obesity during the COVID era:

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7037a3.htm?s_cid=mm...

"Among a cohort of 432,302 persons aged 2–19, rate of body mass index increase approximately doubled during pandemic compared to prepandemic period. Persons w/ prepandemic overweight or obesity & younger school-aged children experienced largest increases."
But it's also the sort of thing where you don't have to change the whole system all at once in one go. There are now two states that will use RCV for federal elections as well as many more local municipalities (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_Un... ).

With any luck, these reforms can stick and hopefully expand— necessary steps if we're ever to end this political duopoly.
Agree. I'd rather do One Meal A Day, or 5 days Fasting 2 days fed, or basically anything but every other day.

Steve May have been a categorical jerk in many ways, but his opinions often had moral grounding and backbone. Just before I joined Flipboard way back in 2010, Jobs had apparently visited the office after their epic launch. He spoke for a few moments about apps and then launched into a lengthy diatribe about the death of fish in the ocean and how a company like Flipboard needed to amplify those kinds of messages. Use its power to save the planet. A strange monologue given the context, but also kind of amazing.
You absolutely can, via registry, group policy, or 3rd party apps. Have you ever gotten any of the browser change stuff or ads on your work laptop? I have not, ever, at any company. You can do that on your home computer too.
I had a similar experience. The following was helpful for my unique situation, over the course of a year and a half:

1. I consciously decided to stop processing the past and let go. Instead, I moved on to the opportunities I currently have. I adjusted social media to remove reminders of my past workplace (including muting old colleagues). The questionable professional networking benefits wasn't worth the toll to my mindset.

2. Valuing myself a lot more wa helpful. I don't perpetuate the environment by by treating others unfairly for self-gain, but I avoid straining myself to help out others (where there's often no actual award or appreciation) unless it's mutual beneficial. I've found that a lot of people don't appreciate favours, and may even feel entitled to them from you.

3. Boundary-setting was important. This includes revealing less personal information at work (it can be used against me, though I'm trying not to take it too far) and declining overwork when I can (in a tactful, graceful way). This led to cutting off a one-sided friendship (where I was constantly asked for favours and support without receiving it back), because boundary-setting was challenged and not respected. It was painful, but ultimately helpful.

4. A shift in identity from my job to myself as a professional not tied to a workplace helped massively. I also started doing multiple projects, so negative problems at work don't affect my identity.

5. I kept up healthy habits. This includes a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding simple carbs when I can for diet, exercise, and avoiding outrage-producing information sources, like low-quality news websites and especially Reddit.

Due to additional time and focus, I started seeing someone in a fulfilling romantic relationship. I don't intend to reveal that past (I want to move on, as I'm a different person now). She's genuinely nice, too; she really enriches my life, though I'm avoiding repeating the mistake of tying my self-worth to anything external, including her. So, while perhaps I was the ideal, dedicated worker before, I'm still pretty good now, and happier with parts outside of my life.

In short: I committed to moving on and letting go of my negative past experience to reduce distractions. I then fixed personality flaws that tied my self-worth to others (by consequence, I learned boundary-setting, which counterintuitively improved my relationships). I also earned a belief in myself again, by sticking to hard but healthy habits and making good, consistent progress in developing skills I always wanted to have.

Last quick note: I got a lot of mileage from referring to "Feeling Good" by David Burns for self-treatment with CBT whenever I felt trapped by negative thoughts. "Intimate Connections" also by Burns helped me for relationship advice, which helps with enjoying the present.
That's fuck up.
One person having one more thought of suicide is too many. So no number - other than zero - is "meaningless".

If Facebook made money doing something they knew there was a non-zero risk of pushing even one person to suicide, they are a sociopathic organization.

For what it's worth, I read his biography and he came across as repentant and apologetic when confronted, especially near the end when he knew he was going to die.

Well, the thing with this is that while he might have been privately apologetic, the public image that relentlessly and abusively driving employees leads to success has stayed with us after his death and he certainly made no effort publicly debunk it. That certainly influences how I see him.
> Of course, I continue to believe that it's better, now, to simply buy hardware that doesn't need this kind of reverse engineering to ensure longevity, and I steer my hardware purchases accordingly.

For Linux and BSD, ALL OF IT was hacked and reversed engineered from the beginning. With your stupid mentality we would never have any free operating systems, we would only have proprietary operating systems. This is how its done. New hardware is released, someone hacks it, then its supported. If we are forced to wait like children for manufacturers permission or assistance (which is not actually required) then Linux, BSD, and other free / open source operating systems would never exist.

Linux has been ported to every modern computing device on the planet and this M1 port is par for the course. Only an actual idiot would recommend Linux devs should ignore the M1.
That and it didn't stop the deaths. Now that vaccinations have taken hold we can probably expect the numbers to drop significantly.
