Generally, PRNGs have an internal state, a transition function that determines a new internal state based on the current internal state, and an output function that determines the output value based on the current internal state.

In most cases, the output is determined by the output function based on a small part of the state (e.g. you may have 128 bits of state, feed the first 64 bits of it to an output function, and derive a 32-bit output as a result). This means that you don't learn much about the internal state of the generator merely by looking at an output value: you need to observe a lot of consecutive outputs to recover the internal state of the generator, and without knowing the internal state it's difficult (i.e. very hard to impossible) to use a relatively small number of known outputs to predict the next output.

The xorshift128 generator tested in the article has a nigh-trivial output function (because it's designed to be fast, not hard-to-predict) and a very simple transition function, which is why 4 outputs can be used to recover the internal state and to train a NN to predict the next output.

Well you could just have state snapshots taken at regular intervals and then verify that both sides' hashes agree. It's only a couple of thousand entities so it's really not so bad. For you can probably ignore those that haven't deviated from the previous snapshot (and that would account for a state reconstruction taking time).

RTS games have a replay mechanisms at least as far back as StarCraft: Brood War, so a journal of player inputs are likely going to be recorded anyway.
Looks to me like the main difference (besides the language) is that this is planning to offer more in the way of OS and network level auth (SSH/PAM/RADIUS) while kratos focuses on app/website level auth. I'm not sure how hard it'd be to extend kratos with those sort of features.

> Let's hope AMD mobile processors will work better, and that we'll be able to find decent laptops using them.

It doesn't have anything to do with the processor does it? Surely neither intel nor amd have removed S3 support?

AFAIK it's integrators (motivated by Microsoft's push of "modern standby"?) which make it unavailable in their bioses: S3 needs bios integration, modern standby is just S0. Or do you mean "hopefully AMD will have a better S0 idle"?

The usual replaceable parts are there in the Thinkpad P1 (SSD, RAM) but replacing the speakers, touch pad, screen or webcam is a much more involved process. I also haven't dared look at the keyboard replacement process. I also don't think you stand any chance of replacing the USB ports without a soldering iron once they start showing signs of wear and tear.

I think Thinkpads are actually quite fine for user serviceability, although I do find it was much easier to open my old HP Probook than it was to open my Lenovo P1 gen 3. Lenovo had me dig for a whole bunch of screws and tabs to pull off the bottom panel where HP let me access all the important parts with just one screw and a slide-off panel.
I was not a pro baker, but I worked at a culinary school for a while, so I picked up a little indirect knowledge (which now might be a little out of date). Culinary school is a very ‘it depends’ proposition. A good school will give you some good preparation for working in a commercial kitchen. It might give you a little leg up in hiring. It can be fairly expensive. Entry level wages are (or were at the time) low. Right now, with worker shortages, it might be easier to walk in and get such a job without school. Long term, you might be looking to owning your own shop, teaching, writing cookbooks, etc.

Ask HN: How much is HTTP worth?
If HTTP was for sale or at auction today, how much do you think it could go for? And which companies or people do you think would be interested in buying it?
Yes the journal of player inputs sure, but the intermediate states is a different matter. AoE2's state size is peanuts for a modern machine, but I would say that at the time, it was quite significant and it would be too costly to store it on the fly. I certainly did not dare try that in the RTS-like deterministic games I worked on (Commandos and Praetorians)
My advice is to not bother using const much. It's quirky since data that is "const" for one part of the code might not be for another. But no one has figured out a way to represent such a constness-transition.

You can find this issue with APIs like "strstr()" for example. And IIRC Dennis Ritchie himself raised these concerns when const was conceived. The deeper issue I think is that const should be an attribute of the _code_ (as in, "I won't modify this data"), not of the data. Data is rarely truly constant (RAM cells are obviously writeable).

I use "const" mostly in "const char *" (for string-literals which are pointers to "reasonably const" memory, i.e. read-only mapped memory), and sometimes for function parameters to indicate that the function does not write through the pointer, but as in "strstr()" example this quickly gets quirky. Note that for this simple example you can work around if you take a const-pointer and return an index instead.

Summary: Be practical, don't overthink it.
You can install termux and from there do all the normal SSH, python, linuxy stuff you like.
I agree. I love the idea of Nix. At least what I think is the idea - basically Bazel as a package manager. But the actual implementation is inaccessible.

If someone could make a user-friendly implementation of the Nix concept I think it would be very popular.
I know people who work at Microsoft and I can see what kind of software solutions they produce. Of course they do produce some good stuff, they have a few pockets of talent. They've always been strong with gaming and IDEs for example. But anything related to web technologies is just a failure. They don't understand the web. Most of the business they get is due to legacy reasons (e.g. companies who use Azure because their legacy software won't run on anything else). They just come up with solutions and then try to forcibly shove it down developers' throats.

One reason why they suck at web is because they suck at interoperability. They can't do open source properly. They don't know how to optimize software for maximum compatibility. This is because vendor lock-in is the enemy of compatibility and interoperability. Vendor lock-in is in their DNA; everything they do is about lock-in. Their software is all about complex, rigid interfaces; this is how they achieve lock-in but it makes it difficult to integrate their solutions into third party software (high friction, high entry barriers) and difficult to maintain/update.
That's roughly the story in the movie Gravity.

Collisions between orbital junk are most likely to happen between objects in the same orbit. And most junk is in some roughly equatorial orbit. So I'd expect the resulting debris to end up in roughly the same orbit, so that the debris would form a sort of fuzzy disk - not a sphere. I wouldn't expect to observe much debris over the North Pole.
Technically correct. But practically the perceived PPI/DPI would matter more, with distance. Relevant: https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors/#the-myth-of-apple-patented-...
> our application was not actually handling events from that queue, so the size of that queue grew without bound

While new tools are great and I appreciate this nice write-up of how you can use BPF to find memory leaks, I wonder if they could have just guessed the above issue the minute after realizing that Valgrind did not report relevant issues. Actually the program just kept creating objects that were never used. With more context about the offending program, such design issues could be found by the responsible programmers by means of „thinking it through“. What I mean is: Sometimes complicated tooling distracts you so much from the actual problem that you are missing the obvious.

They were able to raise wages due to the increased market price of their goods. Government imposed minimum wages increase regardless of the market price of a company's goods or services.

Mandatory minimum wages are most detrimental to those who the proponents are claiming to help. Low skilled workers are less likely to be hired because they have to be paid at a rate above what the market value of their labor is. This is not the case right now because the market rate of low skill labor has increased beyond the federal and state minimums.

During periods of high labor availability and low job availability, minimum wages can establish a significant barrier to employment for low skilled workers.

During times like the present when labor supply is short, minimum wage mandates are not keeping up with the market and have very little effect on hiring.

I haven't used Genopt, it looks cool. At first I thought you meant getopt, which it looks like Genopt is built on.

However I think Genopt is concerned with command line arguments.

This is about an interactive command line interface, like a REPL. So you type command and it calls functions interactivly.

This kind of thing can be a lot of work to do right, so I think this header looks great.

These refer to variables that exist in memory when the program is running:

const int a;
extern int b;
static int c;
volatile int d;

And this refers to something that exists only at compile time:

constexpr int z = 1;

This ain't right.

Not that C doesn't need compile-time elements, it'd be better off not copying them from C++ verbatim and implementing in a way that doesn't introduce confusion into basic language concepts such as variables and functions.
There are CSPRNGs like Fortuna that contain an entropy accumulator, so even if the secret part of the state is compromised, it can recover.

Steve Jobs: “Design is How it Works”

From The Guts of a New Machine, the 2003 New York Times article that profiled Apple just as the iPod was becoming recognized as a cultural phenomenon:

”Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like,” says Steve Jobs, Apple’s C.E.O. ”People think it’s this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”
I like the idea of foldable tablets because currently it's the only way to bring and use bigger screen everywhere. In my experience, reading text on small screen is significantly bad to understand things. Fold3 looks really well made for both software (but we miss tablet support by some 3rd party apps) and hardware, but maybe other manufacturers catch up before long.

I love my Fold3 but I don't know much the point of Flip/Razr foldable series. It looks cool, a bit compact, and maybe great for selfies because it don't need any stands to use outer cameras but seems to not good tradeoff to weak points. Still, it's good thing that Samsung can sell such products other than just boring smartphones.

There are a few issues at play here:

1. A lot of newly 'minted' Tether's are being used to buy Bitcoin (so prop it up, the Bitcoin price rises).

2. Possibly as a next step, these now more valuable bitcoins are than sold for real money, and the owners of bitfinex/tether pocket this real earned money as profit.

3. It should be noted that although the total amount of tether is still rising, the total amount of all "stable coins" is rising a lot faster, so basically, outpacing the growth of tether: the market seems to be on to them, and puts more trust in other stable coins. Personally, I like Maker's DAO decentralised SAI stable coin a lot. But preferences vary.

4. Why is there any demand at all for any stable coin? Can't a person just send/receive real dollars/euros? Answer: No .

There are a lot of unbanked people in the world, more than we in our western minds would dare to guess, I think.

Look at El Salvador: in 6 weeks since officially adopting Bitcoin as a currency (next to the US dollar, not replacing it mind you) the number of people that now have "wallet" software running on their phone is already lager then the number of people who over the past 20 years were able to open a bank account.

When you say professional baker, are you talking about owning your own small bakery that does a little of everything each day?

Are you talking about owning a shop that does limited consumer sales but sells hundreds of loaves, rolls, etc daily across dozens of restaurants ?

A high end pastry chef?

I’m not a professional baker, but I am friends with someone who operates the second option. They went to school for hospitality- their family owned a hotel.

They sell a limited selection to super markets and restaurants. They do operate a small retail store and sell at farmers markets as well. They don’t sell pastries of any kind.

What you’re saying totally makes sense from an intuitive sense.

But how do we reconcile that with the ability for someone to be able to live on a certain wage, given there are only so many hours they can work? Yes the market value might be lower but their bills don’t get lower.

I’m genuinely asking how we square those two.
I'm not asking it to be more 'orthodox', I'm asking to not have to spend months scouring poor documentation to learn a new language and toolchain to gain the very few benefits Nix provides over the existing systems. If Nix is so inherently complicated it cannot deliver that, then why would I want it?

Ultimately I want less complication in my life, not more, and Nix very much does not provide that from what I can see.
I ran a bread baking business for a year in suburban TX, and I can safely say that it doesn't matter how good you are: profit margins are really low in certain areas. People were extremely cost sensitive. Also they often didn't even like "fancy" bread, and would complain about anything different from just regular sliced grocery store foam.

I got pretty good, and was able to have some "subscriptions" back before that was a thing, delivering it to people at work, but in the end I was barely able to cover the costs once I'd factored in running the oven. I then moved to the northeast , where people care about bread a little more, but again are usually quite sensitive to convenience and price. The groceries here have average bakeries in store, and produce cheap reliable bread.

As for cake baking, that's a whole different ballgame. I've had a friend who tried that and she had a very hard time. People typically were extremely price sensitive, and were very hard to please. It reminded me of the tattoo business: a few rockstars charging 10k for art that gets thousands of upvotes on social media, then a mass of people doing $100 specials for customers who are never quite happy. Kind of a bummer, so my friend gave up after a year and doubled down on programming as a career. She now keeps baking firmly in the "hobby" realm, since while she loves it, she knows it's extremely hard to make a living doing it.

Even if that were true, and I protest that it isn't (I feel it's easier to generate good code in C++ than C), adding individual C++ features to C will just erode that ability to reason.

> “The one thing that doesn’t change is that they want to make profits,” Hill noted. “Not to get too far into theory, but what’s happening here, I think, is basic economics. For a lot of years, there were more workers than jobs. Now, I think that’s changed. These are smart people. They realize there’s a competitive market for workers. They want to hire and retain the best workers they can find. I think that’s what they’re doing here. I think what we’re seeing is that it’s the workers who have the leverage now. It’s been the other way for a long time, and now we’re seeing a shift. Everything is cyclical, so I don’t know how long it will last. But I think what (Winston Plywood) is doing is significant.”

Consider that the etymology of 'dollar', coming from 'thaler' has always meant a fixed weight of metal. Yes, for me there is some irony there. We still call them dollars, not debt instruments or tally sticks. As you say the key points are redeemability and backing.
