> … wouldn't that mean you'd want to move your valuable NFT assets to a cold wallet? If they're in a cold wallet, you then wouldn't be able to prove you own them to use them in a game.

Just provide a way for the NFT owner to associate their assets with a particular in-game account, e.g. by storing the username on the blockchain with the NFT, or by signing a file with the username and details of the last trade. Once that's done they no longer need to keep the keys online. When the NFT is sold the new owner can update the username to refer to their own account.

Presumably all the usual security measures such as hardware wallets for key storage would continue to work for these NFTs, at least as long as you're not forced to use game-specific wallet software.
cat-v.org, now that's a domain I haven't seen in a while.

Crazy how I used to agree with everything these people (and the suckless.org folks) said and now I'd strictly avoid working with anyone like that.
I've spent two decades plus now browsing the web, including my share of porn, but have yet to come across an unambiguous child porn or child abuse image. I don't doubt that many of you have. But I do wonder if it's a significant enough problem to justify the level of surveillance that would be required to wipe it out.

"Thousands of gigabytes" is consistent with a single cheap hard drive. If that's the threshold for alarm then the alarm is permanent.
Without the apps they will track you too, no worries.
> Nobody prominent is involved.

I don't know how you operate, but when I hear that the royal family is implicated, I immediately start to wonder who else is involved and not dismiss the case all together.
Are you a game developer? Because you're trivializing the vast majority of what you said to fit your desired goal.

1. Game assets are not easily interchangeable. They're often in different, engine specific formats that are undocumented. So interchange will be hard without remaking the whole asset.

2. You're ignoring licensing and copyright. You can't just replicate an asset from someone else. The NFT doesn't give you that. So you'd have to make something unique.

3. The NFT also doesn't store the asset, just a pointer into their DB. So for every single asset in the UB database, you'd need to maintain a mapping for your game and keep it perpetually up to date.

4. Why would I as an indie want to let Ubisoft collect the money for an asset I then have to make for my game? Even if the item doesn't match, it means that the user sent their money to Ubisoft, and now I'm spending money to make an asset, that the user gets for free because they own a token?

Your ideas don't make sense at a technical, legal or financial level other than "building on hype"
Don't know what happened.

Tried reproducing it, but no go.

Thanks for checking.
It's semantics whether or not full-blown flu symptoms are "the flu" or not; I get the flu shot, then I get sick.
Clearly they're only serious about privacy until it could impact the bottom line. Despite the removals only helping users in the long run, removing two of their most popular apps (Snapchat is routinely #1 overall) would result in blowback towards Apple.
Yes, they do. The statement is basically verbatim from the article. They study findings are robust (n~=80000, pvals<1e-5).
Yep. The same problem that infects almost all NFTs right now. The NFT is just a link, the item itself can disappear. It is too expensive to shove most NFT artworks into the blockchain itself.
Boom! Now you know what NFTs are.
Like std::vector<bool>. Damn you std::vector<bool>.
in this layman's view of similar past events that seems to be exactly what happens. look at previous pandemics - Russian, Spanish, Hong Kong. Very similar infection and mortality waves; elderly, predisposed, poor health were the first casualties. as it made its rounds the rest developed immunity over time, along with children being incredibly resilient. as the population turns over those with immunity have low impact encounters. The corresponding viruses from those pandemics continue to circulate today as seasonal flu and cold strains. just my 2 cents.
This is great, specified search on GitHub has previously been very hit or miss. Generally I use the search feature for learning / trying to see if something I'm trying to do already exists. I personally think vsCode has the best code search implementation, in terms of "exact", "partial" and "regex" matching. The UI is clear, non-technical team members can navigate their way around it and it's relatively fast assuming you don't have too many extraneous plugins installed.
> How much of your comfort in these drugs is based on who is holding power wherever you may reside?

Literally zero. I know enough about science and economics to know that the US president has no bearing on the efficacy of the COVID vaccine whatsoever, just like politicians have exactly zero bearing on how well the flu vaccine works or how well Ibuprofen works.

> Your right to swing your arms ends at my face or whatever.

Right, so why in your mind doesn’t that extend to my right to not get infected by you in public?

P.S. you dodged the question: why is a mandate that the majority wants equivalent to tyranny? Do you think the mandate to buy car insurance in order to drive on public roads is tyranny?
Wow! So the Chinese expanded on Russian Communism.

Instead of selling communists the rope to be used to hang us, Tim Cook actually paid the Chinese communists for the rope.

Greed is actually a weakness, not a strength.
DocumentDB an entirely separate implementation built on Amazon's internal tech which just speaks the MongoDB wire protocol. If they use any pre-SSPL MongoDB code it's just incidental bits and pieces.
I briefly skimmed the article at the medrxiv link, but it does not seem to assay neutralizing antibody titer. Rather the medrxiv link just assays "reactivity." I suppose it would be great if the booster increased reactivity against all variants. But it is not so surprising that a booster furthers the selection of higher affinity antibodies, which tend to be more specifically adapted to the antigen. However, at the end of the day, the Pfizer data shows that either this decrease in reactivity is not enough to overcome the recovery in titer elicited by the booster or that the decrease in reactivity is not a general phenomenon. Or, hopefully not the case, we will start to see this decrease in reactivity effect as we look at larger sample sizes. I think there is a ton of data available to Pfizer about booster titers/effectiveness, so I would be surprised to see larger sample sizes change the conclusions.
If you do setup that in general saves time, small things sometimes won't benefit.
A lot of sysadmins:

1. Aren't "very intelligent".

2. Aren't smart enough to learn C#, let alone well enough to do systems programming to replace PowerShell.

3. Don't have the time/desire to learn C#, even if they are capable.

4. Don't have the time to write systems management code in C#, as opposed to PowerShell.

Back when I started UNIX system administration, pretty much all sysadmins knew C and could write arbitrary system management utilities in C.

This is no longer the case, for better or worse, the world needs more sysadmins and Microsoft has released server software that can be managed by relatively minimally-skilled people who know how to Google and copy/paste code from websites.
> I am not sure why you wouldn't need to own the skin.

If the game maker doesn't want to restrict who uses the skin? And I guess that's the thing that would happen if someone makes a mod out of free assets.
Can we please stop calling new tech "Gopher"? It's a name that belongs to a network protocol, not to a programming language or an AI model.
No matter how distributed your tool is (like git), it's usually nice to have stable servers being part of the network (i suppose your laptop is not serving git repos for others to clone from). Torrents are distributed and yet i'm using a personal server as seedbox. I'm not here trying to defend this particular product, but in general it is nice to have git repo servers. Git is already good enough for a repo to be at several places, so this isn't threatening at al, it is actually the best of both worlds (distributed hence independence for users and "super nodes" for network efficiency and stability). What is threatening tho is addons which are built centralized like mainstream issue trackers and for that i completely agree with you.

> You can set up your own remote on a raspberry pi at home.

Yes indeed, and as far as i understand OP's program is something to manage your raspberry git remote.
The problem seems to be that these models provide fairly accurate information at many occasions and occasionally complete blunders. Humans provide less accurate information most of the time but with a certain amount of self-reflection/meta-cognition, and they will usually recognize total blunders or display reasonable uncertainty about them.

There are only very few applications where it would make sense to take the risk and use an AI that occasionally makes gigantic mistakes without any understanding why. Even seemingly harmless applications like automated customer support could go horribly wrong.
We bought some children's sized coat hangars off Amazon and used a lead testing kit on them. They popped positive for lead :(

No name brand from China. I wonder what else in our lives might have lead in it..
> What's the point of using NFT instead of a Ubisoft owned DB?

Now they get to say they're using NFTs in their press.
I received this zip file this morning and after getting it setup within nginx clicking around appears to be working and in good condition.

There are some server side includes I need to configure but the site looks functional.
“ If you only know one thing, you keep your mouth shut until you know more. ”

So hiding and covering up information is the way you think scientists should build trust, rather than being open and also clear about the limitations?

The lack of trust has nothing to do with scientists publishing data and everything to do with hucksters who misinterpret or lie about it to spread anti-vaccine panic or “government control” conspiracy theories.
Good point. I meant us fake software engineering, not you real engineers with “PE” at the end of your name. My original comment has been clarified.
typically the price of the prescription has little to do with cost of manufacturing, so if the doctor's orders were the quotation above, you'd just get a tenth as much drugs for the same price. (this has happened to me --- when the doctor ordered a reduced daily dosage, I got half the drugs for the same price)
> about whether catching something gives you better protection than having a vaccine

It's also medically incorrect. When you get a vaccine you are literally getting a live virus injected into you. There's no difference for your immune system. One isn't "fake" and the other "natural". Period.

To your point, viruses mutate and so similar to the flu and flu vaccine, if COVID-19 continues to mutate in ways that are different enough we'll have to get new COVID shots which use modeling to predict the likely virulent strains. People that are aghast about this concept are not really understanding the new reality we're in. The only hope is that if enough people get vaccinated quickly enough, a new strain won't mutate and cause the vaccines to lose some effectiveness. I think that's a wildly naive hope, though and the best path forward is just treating this like a worse flu and moving on with our lives.
In C++ you don't have the scenario like in Rust, where one is forced to use a specific async runtime for library xyz, because it depends on having tokio as runtime.

Or has that situation been sorted out by now?
Is it particularly surprising? The UK Bio Bank study showed a loss of grey matter: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.11.21258690v...

This study was great because they had data from before COVID that was just part of the Bio Bank, so they were able to review participants already in the bio bank based COVID status. 394 COVID patients and 388 controls. Based on a small sample size of only 15 that were hospitalized, it also appears to increase grey matter loss based on severity, although sample size is not large enough to say so conclusively.
Are you for paying people to do work that doesn't add value and consuming crap that doesn't make us happy? Because I said nothing about 'purging' or any solutions at all for that matter. I just pointed out that these three problems are in an important way just one problem.

I'd actually seriously like to know, do you want people to have to do work that doesn't add value?
When those language models are wrong or biased, the user will have a worse experience in all three of those scenarios. At least when we look at search results now, we can prune for the facts. Those language models are ingesting that same data to give a monolithic answer your a query. Less transparent, less safe.
I've trawled around the dark web (.onion) before for quite a while and have never landed on any CP. I did see a link once to something that looked like it could have been CP but of course didn't follow it. Point is that even in onion-land it seems that one can't easily find CP unless one is actively attempting to search it out. It's not something you are likely to be ambushed by.
Probably not, they've been looking at/working on improved Code Search since 2019: https://youtu.be/9EoNqyxtSRM?t=1726
Yeah, it's making fun of the human desire for gravitas when it comes to ship names, since it's just exponentially more and more over the top.
Okay, then there is no reason to ban this twitter user at all, because there are plenty of ways to follow this trial and have the public decide for themselves what they think.
I don't even mind the sponsored placements in my search. I'd just like a search for X to give me a page full of X, not random junk bearing no relationship to X.
Unfortunately I have to agree. Current efforts are constrained by the desire to integrate with existing tooling and the text-parser-based approach of the unix interfaces in general (in particular sysfs and procfs on Linux).

I honestly think someone should do this "from scratch", as you say. I believe the effort would be worth it, but I doubt that the unix community would be amenable to the idea as it goes against their deeply held cultural traditions.
Use is abuse now? Actually, I almost agree with that!
Missed Out on Ethereum? My Best Cryptocurrency to Buy Now
You've got mounds and mounds of evidence for an objective and constant reality, and a few conundrums to unravel, and you then say "we don't know anything!" That's completely irrational. It sounds to me like you are looking to find data to fit your theory, you are HOPING we are in a simulation, and throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

I find this whole conversation so incredibly funny. Go tell a person serving a life-time jail sentence that what they are experiencing is not an objective reality. Day in and day out, the same cell, the same 24 hour cycle. A gazelle being eaten alive by a group of hyenas. A person jumping off a building to commit suicide. All of these things are simply illusions created by something, who knows what. Even though we don't know anything about THAT part, you are certain of it.

You've seen some goofy particles and have some fun mental puzzles to unlock so yeah, none of it is real!
FYI, vector vaccines and mRNA vaccines also create t-cell immunity , not just antibodies. It’s not just “inactivated vaccines” that do so.
It's hard to make a guide because the main action to get security is removing or not adding things. And as you need stuff installed on your system, the security advice becomes specific to what you have installed and what are your goals.

Even your question if it's already secure by default is meaningless if you don't say what you are using the computer for and what kinds of threats you are protecting against.
The original question was not asking how you can compete with YouTube. It asked why YouTube doesn't have competition.

You can tell the argument against cryptography from "but child porn!" is in bad faith because child abuse of this sort is systematically under-investigated, under-prosecuted, and under-sentenced. If they really cared it would be a priority in terms of both investigation and sentencing, but far more is spent chasing drugs and sentences for small-mid size drug offenses are often much longer.

Get caught with a big stash of meth? Go away for 10+ years. Get caught filming child abuse? Get a few years and some psych counseling, if that.
To simplify the task of refuting this hoax once again every time it resurfaces, I just created a new subsection on Stroustrup wikipedia article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bjarne_Stroustrup#The_recurren...
Most people don't wait until a movie comes on free tv before watching live, renting, buying or streaming.
No. The network protocol lost cultural rights to the name by its lack of success.
It's fine to ask for feedback on your prototype, but that's probably better off as a standalone Show HN. Better for both sides -- you're probably not going to get as much feedback on your project as you'd like since it isn't the actual topic at hand.
You still didn't answer the question. Copyright was introduced because it was amazingly cheap to copy as opposed to create. If it's gotten even cheaper, that means it's more relevant, not less. So, again, how does the first part connect to the second? Explain fully why the current system isn't relevant, because there's clearly something obvious to you that isn't obvious to me.
I very much do not like Microsoft, and I find this article to be specious at best, and a blatant and malicious lie at worst. By the logic displayed here, every organization that's ever created a network protocol or programming language is responsible for all exploits that make use of it, forever, even though they are not intentional outcomes. There's also no evidence whatosever that Microsoft is monetizing "the cure", as if any such cure even exists. At best, there's a bevy of "security" companies that exist because of their response to issues in Microsoft-land, but Microsoft is not directly profiting in any way, and if anything it exists as a stain on their reputation.

This is absolutely not what I said and incredibly insulting of an implication. If you’re going to talk about misreading peoples comments, please practice what you preach. I will not be responding to the rest of this comment because you have convinced me you’re not approaching this dialogue in good faith.
That reads just like an xkcd comic :D
Thanks!

Do you happen to know how these algorithms are implemented? Intel used to implement some variant of long-division (likely SRT), which takes O(n) cycles to divide two n-bit numbers. The Conroe numbers that you are quoting are consistent with an O(n) algorithm that processes two or perhaps three bits at each step.

However, the Zen 3 numbers that you quote are not consistent with an O(n) algorithm, but they are consistent with O(log n) steps of Newton-Raphson. Basically, do whatever you want to compute the single-precision answer in 10 cycles, and spend 3 cycles on one FMA to extend the result to double precision. Could it be that AMD is in fact implementing Newton-Raphson exploiting its 3-cycle FMA?
The first paragraph is just sloppy coding practices which can render any scripting language, not solely Powershell, illegible.

This is changing. YT has become more aware of archivists saving removed content in the past, and much more quickly lock things down nowadays. Pre-2017 unlisted videos were gone within days, and the community tab cut off within hours. Gone are the days of “removed” features sticking around in APIs for months. :(
Very fun but not true, https://www.stroustrup.com/bs_faq.html#IEEE
Unfortunately not. I only have experience on the AMD-side as I played around on my own personal computer.
People have said the same thing about every language. I'm positive people complained about using C over assembly (people still do for certain things).

I ask you to imagine a situation where a kernel is written in assembly, and they decide to start allowing C to be used for drivers. How would you view a change such as that?
> An analogous situation

It really isn't though. Technical papers have conventions, and they following them reasonably. You expect the methods description to be specific, the abstract not to be hyperbolic, and conclusions to be balanced. The general discussion parts are just that, general.

In the methods area they discuss the exact versions and parameters used, and how they compared them.

In the conclusions:

In the perfect information games of chess and Go,PoG performs at the level of human experts or professionals, but can be significantly weaker than specialized algorithms for this class of games, like AlphaZero, when given the same resources.

It would have perhaps been interesting to include a more recent stockfish, but it wouldn't really impact the paper.
Nothing beats Mr. Plinkett's reviews anyways.
> OP has cited the Lancet.

Failing to mention that one key thing:

* He uses "COVID-19 survivors" -- which it sounds like that's everyone who's infected-- to refer to patients who were on a ventilator.

Further, despite attempts at case control, I really doubt the comparison population is well matched to those who actually ended up on a vent.

It's unsurprising there's a decent sized effect for those who are hospitalized in intensive care: this is known in general. And it may be a bit overstated here because of confounds.
Long-lasting original antigenic sin (e.g., an immune system trapped for years (or forever) in a sub-optimal state by a vaccination event) is a very unlikely scenario. I don't think we have ever seen something like that for any other virus? So, it's no surprise you haven't found much data. I would also suggest you critically examine whatever data you have found that supposedly backs up this concern of yours.
