"Change fork choice rule to mitigate balancing and reorging attacks"

https://ethresear.ch/t/change-fork-choice-rule-to-mitigate-b...

And more fundamentally at the heart of the matter

https://ethresear.ch/t/comment-on-three-attacks-on-proof-of-...

> Moreover, there is a general argument that the attacker will always be able to keep the consensus from finalizing nomatter what the fix is.

> The argument simply comes from the fact, that mathematically provable binary consensus algorithms known in this universe have n2 behavior, and ETH2 is linear in n .

> Therefore, the only way to really fix ETH2 is to make it n2 . Otherwise it is unfixable from the math point of view. There will always be another attack.

> It may be that by continuing patching a fix after a fix after a fix one can end up with something that will work from an engineering point of view.

> This will be security by obscurity.

> But it will not be secure from the math point of view.

So while bodging in patches might work one day, it's an immature approach and a scary place to try store value.

The sheer number of moving parts create a scary amount of emergent complexity and complexity is the enemy of security.

This is the best distinction between liberal and conservative. From Rousseau to Hurst up through today, if liberals are out of power they will mass murder and burn cities and start world wars to get their power back. Liberals are extortionists of peace. Conservatives are willing to walk away and let it happen out of tolerating the mindless barbarity and terror so as not to add to it.
Browser support for RSS was never serious anyway. RSS is definitely not irrelevant, for one it's how almost all podcasts are distributed.
Ask HN: Are there some or a lot of companies that will hire without degree?

I feel like recruiters and some of the people that do the hiring will not even look at your resume if you don't have a degree. How true is this?
Free space optics links are quite finicky even between stationary ground stations. Additionally, LoS communications are limited by the horizon. The mast antennas on most warships are something like 40 meters tall, meaning it's only 20 km to the horizon. Ships operating as one group routinely spread further than that.

NoS communications on ships just use satellite links, which are also difficult to detect or jam if you're not along the axis.

There are directional LoS microwave links used in some contexts, such as China's stations scattered around the South China Sea. The pointing/stabilization issues are much less severe with these.
I think my problem with it is two-fold, but I acknowledge I'm not some kind of UI expert.

First, I dislike that I cannot quickly count how many things there are. Borders also make me feel more confident in locating a button.

Second, by detaching the borders from the main window it disconnects the analogy of a "tab" as a, well, tab. Now a button takes you to a new window, but I dislike that it breaks a long-standing analogy that is easy to grasp.

More importantly, it's really hard to see the upside. That's usually why people complain about UI changes in Firefox or anywhere else -- if you can't elucidate what the upside is, all anyone can see is downsides. And mild lack of familiarity is enough downside to outweigh an inexplicable change with no upside obvious.

> If anything, generations of programmers learned from experience that instruction systems that are orthogonal to the language and blindly manipulate text strings while ignoring semantics and context and even basic types that is readily available, such as the C preprocessor or M4, leads to a subpar developer experience, code that is far harder to reason about, and causes bugs that are hard to troubleshoot.

Good thing Lisp macros are absolutely nothing like that.

Parse tree manipulation, on the other hand, can be extremely reliable and make code that's much easier to read about.

With every Firefox update, I'm less and less interested in switching my personal browsing from Chrome to Firefox (I'm already using FF at work, so I follow the changes as they arrive). In theory I'd support the change to a more privacy-focused browser, but I can't really be bothered if the UX is way inferior
There is little consistency of belief across the political spectrum. This breeds hypocrisy and mistrust which fuels further mistrust and hypocrisy. It’s just general cultural ugliness all the way down.
If anything happened to the cosmonauts on the ISS, then Putin could use that as an excuse for Russia to build its own station.

I wonder what a modern Space Race would look like.
You talk as if the space force was not late to the party. Space was already militarized before the space force was established. Russia, China, and others already have branches separate from army navy and air responsible for the space domain. China has been blowing shit up in space for over a decade. Other countries don't just ape whatever America does, sometimes America has to actually develop a credible deterrence to threats.
It may be dead if you run bitcoind or your own wallet, but the majority of users would avoid the complexity of running your own wallet and instead use an exchange to obtain Bitcoin. Opening an account at an exchange would enforce KYC/AML rules anyways, as the operators have to compliant of local laws (which are usually based on guidelines by FATF, a global financial regulation group).
I love di.fm. If I find I'm too high energy I'll switch to some chill music (Future Garage, Liquid Trap), if I'm low energy I'll switch to high energy music (usually their Liquid Dnb station).

If I really gotta get down to business, then it's one of their Liquid DnB mix shows. The high energy, repetitive songs that flow into each other really help.

Sometimes I'll even listen to music while on a call just to help myself focus lol
This is the best strategy to cope with Firefox's tab design churn
Misaligned incentives, where those who can implement it don't have a motivation to do it well (either because they don't have a motivation at all because there's some cost and no direct benefit, or they have a motivation to explicitly ensure that it fails and people stay in their walled garden, or they have motivation to publish untrue manipulated data) and those who would benefit (i.e. advanced users, which is a niche) don't have the influence to make it happen.

As the parent poster says, an effect could be "then as a user I would have a lot more power over how my browser represents any generic product listing, across the entire internet. " - from the perspective of any major site providing product listings, that's not a good thing, it quite clearly says that it would transfer power from the site to the user, and the sites do not want that.

For them, becoming a source of "generic product listings" would be a horrible strategic failure, destroying a foundation of their business model and so it would be worth spending a lot of money to ensure that their site does not work with any standard promising this effect and/or that the standard fails to exist in the first place.

So the key concept is that if you want to improve interoperability and the proposal to get there (e.g. Semantic Web) requires content providers to do some work, then it's inevitably going to fail, because the major content providers do not want interoperability - the up-and-coming content providers might want interoperability to gain users from the major existing ones, but only until they gain marketshare themselves.
Video Game OSTs. They are designed to be non-distracting! No lyrics. Depending on what I'm doing and my mood, it can go from something heavy like the Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal OST to something much softer like Bastion OST or Red Dead Redemption OST. I also highly recommend Skullgirls OST.

It’s not about desire. It’s about acceptance. You don’t desire to be in it or out of it, you accept it and understand it. What I’m getting at I can’t really describe in words because it’s more of an experience. But for people who have depression (not sadness) It is a therapy in an understanding that works.

When you accept something you don’t need to be different. And the burden you are released of is immense. And that is when you’re suffering goes away. You’re still depressed, but you’re not suffering.
> It would significantly help your point if the conspiracies you were citing were not plain old unsubstantiated bullshit.

What's unsubstantiated about it? Jack Dorsey admitted he censored the story from the New York Post incorrectly and only after the election did they reinstate the ability to share the article.

The computer shop owner who had the laptop had the signed receipt from Hunter Biden. Hunter himself admitted he's under investigation by the FBI for tax fraud.

The drug and sex pictures in the laptop were not the most incriminating material. It was the emails to foreign powers selling his father's influence as Vice President and a longstanding senator that is the real damning stuff.

Now, if you have a laptop containing emails selling your significantly political parent's influence to foreign interests then that might be of interest to the general public. If you just gave stupid pictures of yourself doing drugs then nobody cares.
SO2 and NO2 are fairly concentrated along shipping routes, and degrade fairly rapidly in the atmosphere. Concentrations over most regions are fairly limited, though concentrations in coastal regions (which tend to be where marine life congregates) is higher than the average.

Their principle risk to humans is as lung irritants when concentrated in air near large populations. As is clear here, the concentrations even along shipping routes are far lower than in urban regions.

SO2 (fuel contaminant, notably in bunker fuel and coal): https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/chem/surface/level/ove...

NO2 (a result of any combustion using atmospheric air which is 70% nitrogen, not merely a fuel contaminant): https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/chem/surface/level/ove...
Not really on the compute side yet. This is their 2nd attempt at supporting Blender as the first (an OpenCL renderer for Blender) was deemed unmaintainable and deprecated shortly after it was released. All indications are AMD is doing much better on the video driver side (which is where the good news is), but on the compute side they appear to have a long way to go still.
By using a Chromium based browser you're making it more difficult for Firefox to stay up to date and you make it more difficult for websites to see the need to support Firefox at all. Once Firefox is out of the race, Google can do whatever it likes with its browser.
That's not true. Wisconsin law permits 16 and 17 year olds to carry rifles. Just today the judge dismissed the weapons charge for this reason. Kyle had the weapon lawfully - that point has already been adjudicated in a court of law.
I agree with everything above. The main advantage the newer data warehouses have over the legacy on-prem incumbents is that they had the chance to build from scratch having learned from all of the challenges that the original players encountered.

The public pissing contest is entertaining while also being silly and slightly cringe, but I think it's a nice story for Databricks nonetheless. They now have a performant SQL-based analytics engine that can credibly compete with the best DWs in the market today, and it's just one part of their overall platform.

The sense I get is that Snowflake wants the conversation to be "no matter what you do, you need a data warehouse, and we're the best in the business at that." Databricks' Lakehouse approach is a fundamental challenge to that, and if they're getting this kind of performance from their analytics engine against the market-leading data warehouses today, that's a big momentum shift in their favour.

I'm curious about the full archive search but I have no idea where to look up rate limits. I've previously written a tool that turns "LRT" ("last retweet") in a tweet into an actual link the the poster's last retweet but they didn't work generally since you could only previously search the last 7 days of tweets. Also I wanted to make a viewer for long threads I wanted to read but that 7 day limit killed that project.

As far as I see there's no bookmarks in the V2 api which is disappointing.

Why do algorithms get a free pass? We generally don't allow those kinds of copouts in most other areas of life. If a physical tool causes harm it's a pretty weak defense to say the effects were too complicated to understand in detail.
Ah yes, "derangement". What a way to argue your case. You don't agree with me, so I must be deranged!

No one is an island. They did not achieve their wealth on their own, without benefiting from the commons. Accruing all those benefits to a single family's estate is not in society's best interests.

We already have estate taxes, income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes. We already have collectively agreed as a society that everyone needs to share in the cost of common services and infrastructure. From there it's just a negotiation as to how much. You seem to think people (especially rich people?) should get to pay less. I think they are not paying nearly enough, and have been fleecing the commons for centuries.

The idea that you think anyone who disagrees with your taxation policy is "deranged" speaks volumes.
False. He did not purchase the rifle (a friend of his who lives in Wisconsin did), and it wasn't illegal for him to possess it in Wisconsin, which is why the charge of possession was dropped.

You can fork endlessly and each fork won't matter one whit because they don't follow the longest chain secured with the most hashing power.

Or your fork can follow the longest chain and abide by the rules so your transactions are accepted by the rest of the network, in which case you're using Bitcoin and haven't forked.
> purposefully choosing goals that you do not know how to achieve, which is a problem

Purposefully choosing goals that you don’t yet know how to achieve is one of the powers of OKRs; they’re not meant to be limited to project plan-style marches towards a known outcome.

Take the classic YouTube “one billion hours in daily user watch time” by the end of 2016, which was about a 10x multiple over their 2012 stat. There’s no way they knew how to reach that goal, but the objective helped them to align and constantly make small decisions in support of that goal (instead of other conflicting goals, each of which could be argued to be good for Google in a different way).
I'm Italian, I've tried multiple layouts and keyboards, at the end I've settled on the US one which is better for programming (positioning of the brackets are better) and on MacOS I can just long press to get the accentuated letters.

On Windows I use the US INTL layout and it works really well even for accentuated characters.
Just by typing ` followed by the letter that you want accentuated, for example `e = è, even my non coder friends prefer that layout over the official Italian one.

But your keyboard it's actually pretty good in my opinion, you can write in French, Spanish, Italian, German, Greek and probably a few more languages that I can't recognize, so I would propose to change the name to qwerty-weu (West Europe) since that seems the spirit of the project.
The navy was dragged into that against their preference by Rumsfeld and the rest of the "Revolution in Military Affairs" people. The original plan was for the first Ford class ships to use conventional catapults, etc, while the new stuff was developed and refined in parallel, to be integrated once it was proven ready. That wasn't fast enough for the Revolution folks, who insisted that the most aggressive timeline possible be followed. Nearly everything those people touched has turned into a disaster, costing tax payers billions.
I'm a pretty serious systems programmer with 30 years in the industry and I would never even consider using IP multicast for any purpose.

I think this might be your selection bias. I personally often see creators complaining about their views being censored regardless of political stripe.

It could harm though. Drugs have side effects, and you are talking about giving someone who is already very ill drugs where you have no idea if they work or not, that could weaken them even more. You could use that logic to justify taking any drug you want as a treatment.

There isn't strong evidence, and you can't just eyeball studies and assume you understand them with no training.

I have cystic fibrosis, and I have tried to do things like this before by looking at studies on unverified treatments. It doesn't work. You just end up with snake oil. I have a masters in biomedical engineering, and I couldn't do it.

Interpreting studies is hard. Interpreting meta analysis accurately is super hard. Tons of studies are fake, or have bias, or have poor methodology. That website is total bullshit and is just throwing all the studies in to their statistical soup and mixing them together to come up with nonsensical results.

"There is evidence of a negative publication bias, and the probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive as the 65 studies is estimated to be 1 in 403 billion."

Lol, wtf?

Years ago AMD was almost bankrupt and put everything into one last attempt at a CPU. Now AMD is hiring like crazy, and I hope they are able to catch up to their larger competitors in tooling and software.

Here's what I think they'll do for the near future. They can't build an all-encompassing library ecosystem that supports all the hardware, all the existing software, has really good tooling, etc. in a reasonable amount of time. In consumer they can mostly get away with just supporting Microsoft's APIs, which they already do pretty well. If they design a really good compute GPU, they probably won't be able to make enough of them. They can sell all of their production with a few big deals to important customers, and they can attach engineers to those deals to help support the specific needs of those customers. That is much more practical than trying to catch up to CUDA in its entirety. Basically, status quo.

As someone who isn't a big customer and who is mad at Nvidia I don't hope for this to happen, but it seems the most likely path.
> If you win money at a casino and deposit it at a bank, the bank doesn't know where you got the cash from.

You're off base here. There's serial numbers on money and many databases maintained both public and private meant to track those and flag inflows of marked bills. The bank absolutely might know where you got the cash from -- the difference is that there are legal guarantees for the fungibility of cash. It is enforced by law that if someone pays you a dollar, you are legally obligated to accept that as tender. For all debts both public and private.

The fungibility of the dollar is not rooted in lack of ability to track dollars, it is rooted in state violence.

Anyways everyone should use Monero. BTC is obviously far less fungible than a dollar.
