My algo class was with Charles Rackoff who I believe was a co-author to the first paper ever written on "zero knowledge proofs" for which he won a Godel prize for in the 90's.

I honestly can't remember much about the class except that it was really difficult and I haven't really used anything I learned from that class in my day to day. Hopefully there's something stored in my brain somewhere if I ever need to recall his lectures in the future.
I was half-expecting there to be a gigantic jump to the sun emoji and then the galaxy emoji, but that might have presented rather interesting engineering challenges at that point.
Japan is currently implementing vaccine passports. Some towns already have registration and mine will soon.
Is it a dismissal or is it someone asking for affirmation on their understanding of the product? I think it can be read both ways.
'... that can only be achieved by having a large percentage of population vaccinated.'

And there are no charts. The proposition is simple. (Dialogue got worse.) What's the metric. How it has gotten worse. Where's the data.

Okay, maybe it's not that kind of article, but it's full of fluff. (At least compared to what I expect clicking on a HN link that has an interesting title.)
Does it matter that dbt is written in Python? dbt models are still SQL at heart. Sure there's the addition of Jinja to enable references for data lineage and configuration, but it's all compiled to SQL with fine-grained control over what's produced.

Forgive me if I come across as combative, but I don't understand generic appeals to things like a language being rigorous. Rigorous to what end? What problem is it solving where that is required? If you know something specific in this domain where that level of rigor is needed, why not share what it is?

There are a lot of problems in the analytics space (and a lot of opportunity for new practices, tools, and businesses), but I would argue that at the end of the day the primary issue is whether or not data producers choose to model data such that it is legible outside of the system that produced it much more than it is about any particular language or methodology.
Wouldn’t the effect be Apple and others creating a new (and hopefully better) replacement for ARM?
Comparing RISC-V's "C" extension to classic Thumb when Thumb-2 is 17 years old is like comparing RISC-V's "V" extension to classic SSE when AVX-512 and SVE2 are already available. Its an insidious form of straw-man attack that preys on the reader's ignorance.

> [Thumb-2] doesn't do everything, and switching has a significant cost.

Technically true, but irrelevant. Cortex-M is thumb-only and can't switch. Cortex-A processors that support both Thumb and ARM instructions almost never actually switch at all.
I mean, come on, it's Canada. They're not exactly a scientific powerhouse.
UC Berkeley alone has almost as many Nobel Prize winners.

Some countries have policies that lead to less groundbreaking science. They prioritize other things. That's just a trade-off.
I see your point, but at the same time, whether it is a branch of the Air Force or its own branch, it's the same situation. I'm willing to stipulate that I'm basing my opinion at the farcical manner in which it was created, and how can we take anything seriously like that especially after their uniform design so clearly ripped off of scifi.

Edit: sorry, I meant logo/emblem in place of uniform.
I wavered about that for a little while and then settled on the dismissive interpretation.

If I misread the comment and elchief wants to clarify, I'd be happy to apologize and correct the mistake.

> EDIT: I just want to see how many people died per capita in 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and so forth, why is that not shown anywhere?

Because that statistic makes the whole thing seem very mellow. Same thing as average life expectancy by year; the change from 2019 to 2020/21 is very slight.
There's something interesting (I think, anyway) that goes along with this. Many times war is used to unify people and to distract them from other problems at home (failing economy, poor labor conditions, etc.). But a war with China would create so many problems at home that public support for such a war would die out immediately after Amazon packages stopped showing up.
You’d probably have to hack it then. Getting there and wrapping it in foil / sabotaging it would be unbelievably hard and clearly visible to the whole world’s radar systems
> Example, the value that money represents is a single value. But why is it a scalar and not a vector? For example, why isn't everything priced with a value and a carbon cost? That would make prices vectors instead of scalars. In fact people value things across many dimensions and have to come up with a price, a single value. Imagine playing a video game where, instead of 3d vectors, everything is represented as the length of the vector. That's a lot of information that is just thrown away.

The whole value of monetary prices is that they're fungible - rather than having to compare the value of things in x different dimensions, you reduce everything to that scalar concept of value.

> In fact, markets have a known flaw called externalities. This flaw is created partly from the fact that value is a scalar. This flaw is so severe that major pollution has been created by economic activity (global warming, ozone, etc) that risks all life on this planet.

On the contrary, having value be a scalar is the solution, because it allows us to make tradeoffs between value and pollution. Cap and trade works (it worked for acid rain); the missing part is the will to actually do it.

All that said, you might be interested in China's "social credit" system - that's the main example I know of this concept of "vector value", because it exists to impose a standard of behaviour on individuals that's not tradeable and fungible.

This is what the MS case was about with mobo locking. Refuse to run if they think you violated license. No, they can not do that. It just needs to be enforced.
IMO the problem was that to few people read the CSP paper and don't use it properly. They keep wanting to do standard procedural programming just using channels instead of data flow models or others that work well with CSP.

TLDR; CSP is a great model for concurrency but barely anyone uses it.

People want to have fun and/or make money. Vaccines were developed, manufactured, and distributed at warp speed. There is no political will for any more public health orders. Even California one of the strictest ended all restrictions in June.
Do we think this is the only vulnerability of this type in the RDP codebase now that this new attack vector has been found?

Except for people that can't get vaccinated, which while is a minority isn't a small amount. People have rights, unless those rights interfere with other people's rights. You don't have the right to be a walking bio weapon. I don't think you should be forced to be vaccinated, but I think society has a right to place restrictions on where you can go if you choose to remain infectious.
Of course, I agree the plot makes no sense and peolpe that liked that movie just don’t want to admit they didn’t get it.

But since we’re talking about it… it didn’t help understanding the plot that it was by far the poorest sound mixing I’ve ever heard. I had to watch it a second time with subtitles on, only to confirm it wasn’t any better when you could understand them.
I'd be curious to know if blood alcohol reliably predicts impairment. From what I know, modern drunk / intoxicated driving laws are mostly about ideology and have little to do with public safety. To be clear, drunk driving is dangerous and a concern, but "impaired" has lost all real meaning as with all ideological terms so a 200 pound regular drinker who's had two drinks is treated the same as an alcoholic who's blackout drunk and a serious danger.
The list would be only one item long today, because they're only enabling one item per day. In that way it reminds me of the old web dev advent calendar slash blog, 24 Ways, which was really popular in the days when IE7, IE8, and Chrome 1.0 were exciting browser releases.
I love the idea, but the algorithm for scaling seems a bit off. For example, it shows the human as much larger than the car.
Trying to couple client server might seem like a good idea, but you are always left guessing as to how the component got in the state it is in, which defeats a lot of the stateless ideas and puts us in a bad place debugging. Express is a good idea, React is a good idea, NextJs and the like make the developers guess until they get burned enough and then by that time a new concept like hooks vs class components comes to popularity and you start the process of learning where the new pit traps are located, until the next big shakeup.
An inappropriate release of market influencing news that was exploited improperly by 10 employees of a 500 employee organization is your definition of significant insider trading on par with Enron? $1.7M in profits total. Those employees were terminated and they paid fines and I believe one was banned from working in tech going forward. The hyperbole here is ridiculous. That's about 1/1000th of an Enron.

But thanks for pointing out why they got rid of the CFO. I didn't know about that part. It makes more sense now.
> We don't need deregulation. We need better designed regulation.

I really like this. The same goes for trust - we need to be able to trust more, not build a trustless system. Be able to trust medical advice from doctors, trust that the auto-repair shop will be honest, and trust that the plane we fly on is built to the correct safety standard.
Being fat is actually contagious.

>overall far more value in having it be unified.

>[...]

>If integer checking is really the be all end all and without it RISC-V can not be successful without it, it will be added and it will be pulled into all the profiles. If it is not actually that relevant then it wont. If it is very useful for some verticals and not others, it will be in those profiles and not in others.

So which is it? Unified or something else?

Speaking of which, what is everyone here’s view on allowing passwordless sudo on Linux servers?

In my mind, if someone has already gained access to my user on the server, which has sudo privileges, they are only a couple of steps away from be able to take control over the server anyways. So I allow sudo without password on my servers.

sudo password is basically nothing but an annoyance.

Likewise, my ssh keys are also not password protected. If you are able to read my ssh keys, you have already won anyways. No point to me in having a password on them.

Where I do take extra steps instead include:

- I disable password based authentication for sshd, allowing only keybased authentication.

- On some servers I have sshd listening on WireGuard interfaces only.

- My personal devices use full disk encryption.

- I lock computers and other devices when I walk away from them.

- I use 2FA for any third-party services of importance such as mail etc, preferring TOTP/HOTP if available. Or SMS based if that’s the only option even though it’s not very good it’s something.

- I use an adblocker in the browser on my computers.

- I am careful not to get tricked by phishing emails, phishing SMSes and other scam messages.

- I install software from trusted sources mainly.

- I use an iPhone, not Android.

I’m pretty satisfied about my own computer security.

Next step I need to handle is proper backups. I have too many files that are stored in n=1 locations. I have some of the most important files in n>=2 locations, but still there are many important files that I don’t.
Since the advent of 16:10/16:12 monitors I've pretty much done the 3 monitor thing. One in landscape, and two in portrait. The two vertical ones get dedicated as an emacs monitor, and the second as a "docs" and status monitor. Usually running acrobat or a single browser window with an audio, or system status window pinned on top in an unobtrusive location. The single landscape monitor gets pretty much everything else, email, chat apps, xterms, etc, etc.

Once in a while, the docs monitor will get replaced with a giant log/debug window, but that is pretty rare.

So, I guess its a bit odd, but recently I started mapping the emacs and acroread with dedicated monitors to a hotkey so I can immediately switch back to them without the alt-tab cycling. So I have a really hard time understanding people with tiling window managers, or running on single screens. That might be the problem with the setup, because trying to use a laptop in a coffee shop is mostly impossible.

Additionally, the status quo can’t sustain itself either. The current restlessness has a few (I only mean a few) notable similarities to the social context which led to WW1. A lingering ruling class who has outstayed their welcome and an alienated, devalued working class that feels they’ve lost any sense of purpose or belonging is a good recipe for starting a stupid and pointless war.
"just create a new instruction set"?

It's taken the better part of a decade for workable alternatives to CUDA to emerge.
Oh of course you can criticise the result, I more found it interesting that a billion dollar, optimized search experience thought your false positive was actually a top result. A huge variance in the subjectivity between your experience and their invested reasoning.

But while we're speculating on how the domain the appears at the top of the list, let me hazard a guess...

Philosophy.com was registered in 1999 and according to waybackmachine, has been selling cosmetics on the site since 2000 (20+ years). The company sold in 2010 for ~$1B to a holding company with revenues of $10B+ today (Unfortunately I couldn't find how much it contributes to that revenue). According to Wikipedia, the Philosophy brand has been endorsed by celebrities, including "long-time endorser" Oprah Winfrey, possibly the biggest endorsement you could get for their industry/demographic.

I think it is a long established business, with strong revenues and there's more people online searching for cosmetic brands than for philosophers.

In the same way (admittedly in the extreme) when I'm researching deforestation and I query to see how things are going for the 'amazon', the top result is another successful company registered pre 2000, with strong revenues that most likely attracts more visitors..
This design is wonderful. I like it a lot. It is a very different and more limited experience when you also have a screen to keep the hordes of mosquitoes out.
Looks like I got the 3 and 5 years mixed up and started subtracting 3. I fixed the original post.
Plastic --> efficiency --> overpopulation --> more plastic? Whatever you're selling, I'm not buying it.
Well if the original creator of this thread had replied in-thread to my other comment, then I wouldn't have felt the need to engage in two different spots. I agree it's annoying.

Anyway I can't help but feel the argument is pretty loose on demonstrating that Nvidia would be in a position to harm the market in a substantial way. Usually the law is enforced reactively to punish bad/unwanted behavior. We preemptively prevent mergers that would result in no real competition existing in a market, in other words: a monopoly. We do that because it's bad for consumers. You can echo the FTC's statements about how having leverage over other market participants might be harmful all you want, but the reality is that they don't explain how Nvidia owning ARM creates a monopoly (is akin to something like Intel owning ARM) and then how that is inherently bad for fundamentally bad for consumers. Nvidia owning arm looks like savvy business at best and at worst annoying and disruptive to some people who put most of their eggs in the ARM basket. I see how it could in theory have an effect on some competition to have this type of vertical integration happen, but is that substantial to the point of Nvidia being a monopoly on microprocessors and consumers left abused and holding the bag? That's quite the claim.

AMD competes with Intel and Intel is similarly vertically integrated. AMD even makes graphics cards after merging with ATI and that didn't kill any markets or harm consumers, if anything AMD graphics has become more competitive. Intel is entering the graphics card space. Personally I'd love to see another player in the processor space. Right now it's Intel and AMD and now Apple. Why wouldn't an Nvidia N2 ARM SOC that competes with the Apple M1 be a good thing? IDK I see potential consumer benefits to Nvidia being able to run with ARM. I can't help but feel like we're straining here under the guise of "big tech is big and bad let's punish them all".

Anyway probably at the end of the utility of going back an forth on wether the merger substantially lessens competition to the point of causing consumer harm. We'll see what the courts decide.
Okay if you trust that buying an unspecified stake doesn't lead to an acquisition once the smoke has cleared you have a very different worldview than I do. We will have to agree to disagree.

It does seem like the next 100 years is just more of what's been going on the past decade and it seems pretty grim for the customer and great for the corporations as they duke it out with each other much like what this seems to really be about.
Ubiquiti not handling the breach well and the whistle-blower being a piece of human scum are not mutually exclusive. Ubiquiti having this guy in a position to do the damage he did for as long as he did is not an endorsement of the company, either.

Ubiquiti has all sorts of other issues tangential to this guy - some redaction might be warranted, but the whole thing being an inside job doesn't reflect well on Ubiquiti, canceling out all the criticism.

- I would say a tulip is bigger than a phone.

- The okay hand sign says it's 21 cm.My hands are larger than average, but definitely smaller than 21cm.

- A duck isn't bigger than a goat.

- An elephant is smaller than a house.
Indeed, but while most contract arrangements need to be explicitly re-upped, a merger is permanent; a subsumed company cannot un-merge itself, because it no longer exists as an independent entity. This fact incentivizes both sides to remain competitive, because each side knows that they are replaceable if they don't keep costs down and quality up relative to their competitors. Furthermore, while a cartel is the worst-case scenario between two independent companies, cartel-like behavior is the only scenario for two merged companies; it's unfathomable that any subsumed company could decide not to do whatever its new owner tells it to.
While window researching recently I read an interesting comment, likely on a Green Building Advisor article - in many cases the inswing TNT better fits the European use of roll down shutters, whereas American casement windows better suit their more common use of drapes. Not sure if there’s data to back it up but it’s an plausible cultural/architectural reason for slower adoption in the US.
No matching results makes sense. That's what I got with my first attempt. But my first attempt also showed my uploaded image at the top with the caption "Uploaded Image" (and no matching images below). The subsequent couple of images I tried did not show my image with the Uploaded Image caption. Instead, after the image was uploaded I was immediately taken back to the "Find Similar Images" input page. That's why I thought there might be some sort of bug or additional input filtering.

Finally, I uploaded a randomly chosen picture of a puppy and got many other dogs and puppies. Success! :-)
