Isn't keeping 3rd party stuff like TLS out of the core protocol a good thing? Regarding breaking existing clients in a catastrophic way, I think the server could send an error response to the client that don't support TLS (which is defined in the protocol so the clients should understand the error) if it doesn't want to serve some content without encryption or serve content over port 70 over plain text otherwise? I don't see why old clients are a show stopper there.

I don't know much about the bug bounty industry, is this the typical payout from what it seems to be a pretty severe vulnerability?

The soldered RAM dissuaded me from buying a XPS13. My 6 year old T460s is dying after one too many drops. The XPS13 and Thinkpad X1 Carbon are the final choices for replacement, but all of them have soldered RAM and cannot be upgraded. Also the XPS13 keyboard is worse than the Thankpad (why don't Dell fix the PgUp/PgDown layout?). Finally I settled on the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro based T14. The RAM is expandable. And the CPU performance is double of the i7! It's cheaper even after max out on 4k display and ssd drive.
I was just about to recommend a framework. I've been running Ubuntu on one from batch 1 and I couldn't be happier. Funny enough, I also came from an XPS, and switched after realizing that dell intends for their machines to be disposable. Now I can upgrade and replace anything and everything and boy do I ever love it.
Free grazing was a thing in the USA until the invention of barbed wire. If you can't avoid free riders because costs of doing it are too high, you'll have to bear with them, at least until you find a cost efficient solution. Don't ask for others to subsidize you (i.e. making people who doesn't benefit from the smell pay for it).
Horse and beef really taste pretty different (I've had both, in a number of different preparations), but I suspect that mixing the two together would render the final result close enough to beef that the psychological effect of expecting to eat beef would allow people to taste it as just beef -- sort of like those blind taste tests of wines where they added red food coloring to white wine and people (if I remember right, even a couple of wine experts? I dunno, I'd have to look up that study and it's late. :) ) interpreted the taste as a red.
I would be fine with something that would sort and structure my collection of research papers as a starter. :-)

Actually it would be interesting to mix in some world-knowledge base like Cyc into such tool to make querying more powerful, and maybe even enable deduction of additional information out of the recognized facts and structures.

But it should still run locally of course. I'm refusing to pay for any SaaS offers.

Especially as it comes to research with commercial background it's also a matter of confidentiality. So I guess I'm not the only one who would prefer to have such a thing strictly on-prem.

> Employer guaranteed defined-benefit pension schemes are dead

What do you think those funds invest(ed) in? If stocks and bonds don't perform well, how do those funds continue to make their payments? The shift to individual plans shifted responsibility, hurt some efficiencies pensions could get because they can plan for the mean, not the p95, and decoupled retirement from employers, improving the labor market. All in all, it's somewhat mixed, but what hasn't changed is where the money comes from.
NZXT introduces $800 gaming PC with no dedicated GPU
Because currently you need support of WoL from both your NIC (to enter low power WoL monitoring mode) and your motherboard (to listen for WoL events from the NIC and trigger power on).

If the motherboard would embed a simplistic NIC/WoL driver then you could have WoL on any NIC, with the motherboard acting like any client. I suppose that would mean using the PCI lane and stuff to communicate with the NIC though which may defeat the purpose of a dedicated low power interface.

I wonder if one could transport an airsoft weapon that way? I'm not willing to attempt it, of course. It could probably land you in jail in places such as Singapore, Thailand, China, Russia or the US. In Russia they have an article in the penal code specifically for "false terrorism declarations".

Yeah, with 18,000 employees and a $6 Billion annual budget, the FDA clearly has sufficient resources to process the data. All personal information would be already be coded or assigned a numeric ID that would make it impossible to identify specific participants without the master key. To represent that this project would require additional resources via congressional action is complete nonsense. Redactions should have already been performed as most of this information has been reviewed during the FDA approval processes. I expect the judge will find that the March 2022 date requested by FOIA will be seriously considered by the Judge on December 14th, as people are being fired for not complying with vaccine mandates and this would merit an urgent matter. I can't believe they tried to release only 500 pages per month in thos polarized environment we live in.

I was thinking about DCS, Bertazzoni, American Range, Viking, Blue Star and even Hestan level stuff. Most of their ovens have knob based controls.
The alternating all the way is a little insane but I can kind of understand because the old UI of heat or AC level knob is more intuitive . When I first get in a 40F car I don’t want to set it to 72 or whatever I just want max heat I can get as soon a possible while knowing my 72 is meaningless until the engine warms up. I don’t trust my car to use max heat until exactly 72 so I set it all the way to 80 then back off.

> [...] TBH I don't see the advantage of his multi-stack proposal compared to local variables as in Factor [...]

Local variables effectively turn the language into the lambda calculus. They're equivalent in the sense of any two Turing-complete languages being "equivalent", but there are important distinctions. First, allowing the binding of values to variables breaks automatic enforcement of linearity (and of the other substructural sub-languages when intrinsics are restricted). Second, it breaks the concatentive principal and forces you to worry about variable hoisting and renaming when factoring and refactoring.

> I am also not clear what the advantage of multistacks is for side effect control [...]

It's less about control and more about ergonomics and simplicity. Multistacks will essentially give us a capabilities/effects system for free, once we have qualified types with type inference.
I do so too, with quite similar arguments. I have a blog post about learning all VSCode Shortcuts[1] (did the same for PyCharm) and how it evolved my developing habits. Without learning the shortcuts, many IDE features are not usable. So, if you don't learn the shortcuts, you will not start to use these new features. Consequently, learning shortcuts on the go often does not work.

I fully agree also on creating your own cheat sheets. That's why I have developed an entire app around this idea: KeyCombiner[2]!

It let's you create your own collections, practice them via an interactive trainer and spaced repetition, look them up without context switch through the desktop app's instant look, visualize them on a virtual keyboard, etc.

No that is not what they implied just that so far it has only been 10 years. These people are still healthy but the company can't say it lasts 30 years because no one has lived long enough to see if it does. It may last indefinitely.

That paper also claims zero-shot performance. However, the models that the bulk of the claims are made about are 20x the size of the ones considered in this paper. That's completely consistent with what I said.

At best, "maybe they felt that way" is a terrible answer.

Yeah, agree it is hotly debated and not worth discussing further. I've recently been bitten by GPL and it's fresh on my mind how insidious it can be. That said, I work in commercial environment where BSD-licensed software is highly regarded.

GDBFrontend v0.9.5-beta released and needs testing
I'm disappointed this article didn't talk about copyright. It is the obvious parallel to the neighbour's lamp parable.

Let's make some similar analogies.

If my neighbour is watching Netflix and I can see it through their/my window, is it stealing for me to watch it too?

If my neighbour is reading a book at their window, and I can read it using binoculars, is it stealing to read it too?

And so on.
the .net app to replace it didn't seem to even know what tabindex was for. Literally you couldn't tab around any screen in the app in any kind of sensible workflow way.

Software development is a smart job, but looking at some software makes you think who created it and what was in their mind. My pet peeve is frontend developers’ attitude to their enterprise users. “Okay, there is a table, so a user can click here on the add row button, then click at the select-item link, select an item (or click into the search input), click at the qty field and enter a number …”. Except that this user already enters thousands of rows per day and has no time for this clicking-around idiocy, they add rows by insert, they tab around fields, select-item is called automatically on empty cell focus, and they type right in the table of items to search it, which doesn’t work in web because tables cannot have focus. It has nice tr:hover effect though, cause why not. Useless animated bullshit with 0.1px typography and 2em margins.

And this mindset is everywhere, thinking that a mechanic who accounts for parts, or a doctor who fills in a condition details, or a store worker who runs between shelves, all have time for an hour-long chinese tea ceremony every time they turn to their computer.
This happened to my father a couple of years ago and Paypal's incompetent support decided that a tracking number associated with a package addressed to a different person that weighed only a few ounces was evidence that the seller shipped a 10ft antenna to my father.

> Blockchains are a reliable record-keeping tool that can help

It's a computer system where you enter records. That's it. These poor high-level government officials that can't do anything could already have implemented/procured such a system without blockchain. They haven't.

But sure, they are only lacking blockchain to make this magically happen.

Edit:

> Unlike the skeptics here, I've provided reference supporting these claims.

If you refer to pilot projects using blockchain in some countries, these are nothing but scams looking for easy grant money, don't solve the actual problems (especially not in countries with bad record keeping), and can be implemented faster and more efficiently with any other tech.

They should have redacted the info when they had advisory Committee's review it to recommend boosters and vaccines for kids. Usually when govt has personal identification, they use numeric identifiers in documents as HIPPA is very strict with personal identification. Proprietary data should be concentrated in specific documents and easily redacted. There is no excuse for what they are doing. I have worked with MEDI-CALand Sicial Security information on several occasions as an auditor and a fraud investigator. They have the resources and much of the proprietary and personal information is already coded in a manner that an outsider would not be able to decipher. 500 pages a month is ludicrous.

I tend to look at the HN comments before reading an article, and I often enjoy other people's "See Also" suggestions. It helps me contextualize the material, which in turn is key to my learning from what I read.

It happened in Europe, where one doesn't buy ammo at the grocery store and it has to be stored under key separately from the firearm etc.

My guess is that it's due to NDAs on the reference designs (from Intel) that these were originally derived from, and due to legal bureaucracy and such that no one wants to challenge, so they're "confidential" by default.

If you've looked at other schematics from Compal, Inventec, Quanta, Wistron etc. they all have their own uniquely distinct style, but otherwise for a given platform they are all electrically very similar.
You seem to be very focused on blog posts both in your post in and your reply, as if the only options are blogging and paying TikTok influencers, and there's nothing in between -- but there are tons of options for content that aren't blogging. Blogging was never a very good marketing strategy, even back when blogs were still popular and the SEO was still easy.

And I still think you're putting way too much emphasis on virality as a marketing strategy. Product placements are almost universally NOT the Toks that go massively viral, and even when they do, it's not as big of a payoff as you're hoping. One million views will result in 100-300 people actually trying the app, and at least half of those users will drop off within a matter of days. So, your entire strategy is to pay other people lots of money in hopes of an extremely rare event that gives a marginal bump in users (if you're lucky).

Even traditional paid advertising is far, far more effective than that, and you'd only be paying ~$2 per customer acquisition.
I don't see how that makes a difference. Even if the models were 100x the size it's not like the same argument couldn't be carried through. There is no theoretical reason to believe increasing the number of parameters does anything more than simply allow encoding more of the training set into the parameters. There seems to be a fundamental confusion about what these language models are actually doing, they're glorified compression algorithms. [1] There is no reason to expect any kind of generalization performance from them on common sense tasks.

There are literally tens of billions of dollars at work trying to block this release. The harder they try, the more that tells you something is up. Time and resources are not the reason they won't release the info.

There is an incestuous relationship between industy and politics. Trial Lawyers, Unions and Pharma are the biggest influence buyers.

That gets at the heart of the issue, which is our weak social and familiar bonds. Addiction remains prevalent because so few individuals or social groups have the courage and standing to significantly intervene. A parent would hopefully neither let their child die nor abandon them to an enabling harm reduction program. But most adults do not have anyone who loves them enough to take them to a safe place—likely at some expense—for two weeks to help with withdrawal. It’s heartbreaking.
Going with the VSCode set is a good approach as it has the same bindings as the Chromium DevTools which cannot be changed.
