I think it's totally ridiculous that some are treating this at "not a real job".

It just shows that many people do not understand what is going one at all.

Sure it's a form of "entertainer" job, but actress, synchron speaker or comedian are also real jobs.

And no one would go and say "oh say just need to say some lines on stage so it's not a real job". It's not at all as simple as "just playing games in front of camera".

Sure some people do just that as a hobby, but then people also program as a hobby and programming is still a real job.

And sure many just barely make enough to cover living expanses, but that's true for many jobs which still are "real jobs".

No idea why people feel to denounce people which act as entertainers while also often managing a merch job and a community as "not having a real job"? Is it be of envy that some people have and at their job and where able to turn their hobby into a job?

Either-way it's not just a real job it's like many jobs from the entertainment business not an easy job to get successful with, without a "clear" path to success, requiring often both hard work, talent and luck and with often not-so rosy long term aspects and just a few managing to get rich or wealthy, while many other are sooner or later forced to change their job. You know like in many other jobs in the entertainment industries, e.g. musician/singer.
Simply already patched. Company sizes and number of attack surfaces vary. 22 hours is plenty of time for an input string filter on a centrally controlled endpoint and a dependency increment with the right CI pipeline.
Let's say Edison created none of his lab's inventions. But it was still a lab he put together, was it not? He should get some credit -- so should the individual inventors, no doubt, but the question is just how visionary Edison was, and if his only real vision was creating a lab, hiring, and so on, then visionary he most definitely was.
Those are good points, thanks. Probably makes sense for people who got mRNA to switch to non-mRNA for ongoing boosters, to be cautious. But the advantages you cite will surely cause pressure to use it more, especially for moving targets like the flu. I hope we have more details soon about the bounds of "multiple doses" and the potential issues associated.
There's just something I don't like about the word "bug". It suggests a condition of the software, not a condition of the developer. Maybe it's the full phrase "caused a ... bug". As if the bug wasn't present until the condition occurred. Unless that condition is actually altering the commands in the software, the bug was already there. I could even talk about what "weird" means in this context. It's not a poke at you - I heard phrases like "caused a weird bug" all the time in our industry. In generally, and especially in situations involving safety, it's important we not engage in minimization, but call it was it is: a flaw, where conditions in the operating environment weren't properly considered.
A punitive culture of "accountability" naturally leads to finger pointing and evasion.
If you believe that The Law defines what is right and wrong, then surely it can never be right to change The Law? Maybe you don't actually believe that, but I think it is important to consider just how large the gap between The Law and What Is Right has been, at various times in the past, and in various places.
> It would help both the government and the businesses mostly affected by Covid to run high inflation for a few years.

The government is screwed if interest rates are high. They roll over their debt on an ongoing basis, and if interest rates go to even just ~5 percent then a huge chunk of the annual tax revenue will go to just repaying interest on the debt. The government (read: the people) cannot afford to have that happen unless drastic spending cuts accompany it. Recent events show that most legislators are interested in ramping up spending, not ramping down, which basically means that inflation would have serious consequences for the budget and economy.
I honestly find a lot of interesting projects on Tiktok. Saw a laser harp driven by arduino last night that I am interested to explore.

I have also come across some DIY haptics for VR on there.
Both Dali and Edison did not have families and children to rise. They were multimillionaries also. If you are also childless and multimillionaire, you can experiment with what essentially a sleep deprivation, having hallutinations that are useful in a work of... genius?

Also, in case of Edison, he used an army of assistants to comb through his ideas and patents avaiable at the time to find what is useful. Again, a privilege of multimillionaire

These techniques cannot be used by a person who have to walk a dog early every morning, help his son to go to a school and work with complex code base.
No. We don't have an active deployment in that region at all. It killed our build pipeline as ECR was down globally so we had nowhere to push images. Also there was a massive risk as our target environments are EKS so any node failures or scaling events had nowhere to pull images from while ECR was down.

Edit: not to mention APIGW and Cloudwatch APIs were down too.
Youtube/Social Media has removed the filters and gatekeeping that happened in the legacy media. Of course there is a lot of noise. But what are the odds of a young MKBHD, DrDisrespect, Linus, etc, etc getting their own show in legacy media? Zero to none because we would've never heard about them.

Its glorious to see people who are truly brilliant at what they do getting a shot at the audience and owning everything they do. Its not just Twitch Streamers and 20 something influencers. There is a deep world of niche experts opening up all sorts of interesting topics to everyone and the best get to stand front and center.

My recent fav is Benn Jordan who breaks down a lot of the challenges of being an independent musician in a world of streaming. He recently did an incredible piece on how a NY Times reporter used his credentials to scam hundreds of musicians.

Sure, and it's also possible that a tiny invisible teapot is orbiting the Sun between Earth and Mars. As far as I can tell, there's about as much evidence to support that as there is to support this Elon Musk thesis.

And what if it is the case that "Elon is using Open AI as a place to cultivate and exploit research to enrich himself?" How does that make him "evil"? Most people do a significant portion of what they do to enrich themselves in one way or another. Do you think I get up and drag myself out of bed and go to work every day because of how much I fundamentally enjoy my work? F%@# no. While I do mostly enjoy what I do, the truth is I do it to enrich myself, via the paycheck I collect a couple of times a month and the hoped-for year-end bonus.

All of that aside, even if Elon is "enriching himself" via the auspices of OpenAI, it still remains the case that OpenAI is also enriching ALL of us by publishing code, papers, data, etc. that are made freely available to all[1][2].

The Man Who Predicted Climate Change
Hi, thank you for this! Is it wrong to say that without going through a privacy layer like I2P, you'd publicly link your IP to the decentralized websites you visit?
What's the alternative? Alot of these people are great entertainers and terrible <anything else>. If they weren't streaming they'd be working shifts at McDonalds. If anything they're doing the most advantageous thing they could be doing.
tl;dr: "So at Simul, for the past few years we’ve been building this protocol: it’s called Teleport VR. Let’s see what we can make with it!"

An alternative view would be that HTTP(S) would be "the HTTP of VR". With WebXR and standard JS APIs for HTTPS, async fetching, WebRTC, etc, all the items listed in "Imagine an application-layer protocol for VR with the following characteristics..." are satisfied. And the stack can use battle-tested web technologies so that it can leverage standard CDNs, cloud servers, etc.

VR has some extra constraints over 2D webpages due to tighter frames per second and latency tolerances, but most of the web protocols can get you 90% of the way there.

> To help understand how to deal with the intergenerational nature of this proposed mission, the research team reached out to Janet Vertesi, a sociologist with Princeton University who has studied the organizational aspects of other projects in space.

> He's done the math. "I will be 75 in 2036 when we launch. That means that I know I'm not going to be on this mission probably for more than 10 years after launch," says Lisse, adding that the need for handovers is just a fact. "This isn't just theory or just talk. It's going to happen multiple times, probably two or three times at least."

> Ocker, who doesn't even have a Ph.D. yet, points out that she'll be late in her career by the time this probe reaches interstellar space, if NASA decides to support it and if it launches in the 2030s. "I'm very hopeful that this mission will happen. I really hope it does, in which case I'll be very excited to use the data when it does eventually come down," she says.
That would be a good question to ask the author, although, to be fair, he only claimed that it feels useful.
We saw the timing described where the dashboard updates started about an hour after the problem began (which we noticed immediately since 7:30AM Pacific is in the middle of the day for those of us in Eastern time). I don't know if there was an issue with browser caching or similar but once the updates started everyone here had no trouble seeing them and my RSS feed monitor picked them up around that time as well.
Personal identity is an endless source of fascination for me and most of Western civilization it seems where "individualism" is important, but Eastern philosophers say it just a bunch of thoughts, memories and feelings that are transient and can't be said to really exist. But I guess both East and West would agree identity can be anything that we feel fits since it's made up.
Off the top of my head, this is the third time they've had a major outage where they've been unable to properly update the status page. First we had the S3 outage, where the yellow and red icons were hosted in S3 and unable to be accessed. Second we had the Kinesis outage, which snowballed into a Cognito outage, so they were unable to login into the status page CMS. Now this.

They "own up to it" in their postmortems, but after multiple failures they're still unwilling to implement the obvious solution and what is widely regarded as best practice: host the status page on a different platform.
I don't think he is any different the vast majority of CEOs/Entrepreneurs. He just got caught being bad.
Controversy alert:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but as best I remember I always lamented the verbosity of Pascal (I worked professionally for a time in Turbo Pascal). Modulo-2 was IMhO a much better language and had he used that, revised with a more concise syntax a-la C/C#/Rust, I think I would have been a lot happier. (I must resist the urge to go back and reimplement BLS Pascal the way I would have liked it).

Stepping back a bit, what really made Anders' early designs remarkable wasn't just the engineering, but the deliberate trade-off he made. He emphasized compilation time over almost everything (I think all contemporaries tried to generate as good code as possible). This priority is what dictated a one-pass compiler and in assembler. I saw the same unusual economy in his code where sometimes he would do things in a less efficient way, presumably because it saved code size.
Was this Amazon or AWS?
Does anyone know the details of how this got discovered and released? It definitely doesn’t sound like a normal responsible disclosure process if it was discovered a few hours before this post. Was it spotted being abused?
> Identifying as male or female is pretty much an arbitrary social structure

Are you sure that everyone's cells age at the same rate?
Sure. There also have to be good reasons to dismiss something as "not radical". Nobody is asking OP to read all books recommended on the Internet. But if they'd like to spout opinions about them, I think "have you even read it" is a valid request.
And why does he need a union when he works for himself?

And what do they mean he doesn't have a retirement fund? He has plenty of income to invest in a retirement fund.
I mostly feel contempt for the mainstream media nowdays, but that does nothing to diminish my support for their right to freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is most important for those whose speech we think is harmful and don't want to be spoken. Nothing would be more dangerous than letting those with the greatest capacity for and willingness to use violence (e.g. governments) decide what speech should be allowed.

Anyone who cares about freedom of speech for anyone should defend it for everyone because if nazis, tankies, and journalists can't have freedom of speech, none of us can. First they came for... you know how the rest goes.
It's always alarming to me to see how many people on HN don't acknowledge the bubble they're in.

If you're a well-paid engineer, and nearly everyone you interact with is a well-paid engineer, you're going to think everyone lives like you.

And I wonder how many of them grew up poor. And I mean, poor as in "half my meals as a kid were rice and beans", not "One time my dad didn't get the bonus he was expecting, so we had to fly coach rather than First Class when we to France during Christmas".
but now to understand what a single class might do to an elements style i have to check for ever possible combination
.e.g

.btn.large {}
.field.large {}
.fieldgroup.large {}
.title.large {}
.link.large {}
.large {}

to find all the elements that the .field.large declaration impacts we need to enumerate all the elements that have both .field and .large in any order.

The Motorola DynaTAC mobile phone was about the same size as a VR headset is today.

Imagine the same improvements are made to VR that were made to phones. The VR headsets are expensive bricks right now but they'll be in glasses form factor (or better) with extraordinary usability in the relatively near future. An overlay on the real world that brings remote and nearby contacts into the same room seamlessly.
The formal definition according to Google is "a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality", so I guess technically, a dream meets that definition.

I think the commenter you're responding to is also referring to the way that in a psychotic state, all actions make sense to the psychotic person. The "psycho" stops following a deductive/conscious/scientific logic chain, and starts following inductive/subconscious/superstitious logic chain, all while perceiving internally a consistent narrative of reality.

Examples in the difference in logic chains:

- In a non-psychotic state, when I'm in my bedroom and notice that I am cold, I do not start a fire, because (a) fire is dangerous inside; (b) I remember that I have blankets, an HVAC system, etc.

- In a psychotic state (either dreaming or awake), when I'm in my bedroom and notice that I am cold, I might start a fire, because (a) an angel told me to; (b) it will protect me from the spirits in the darkness; (c) I believe the heating system is broken (even if I haven't looked at it) and I'm worried I'll freeze to death...

One cannot personally perceive psychosis while psychotic--reality always makes sense in the moment. Even the most demented Alzheimer's patient will construct a narrative of what's happening to them, even if it's just a vague sense of prehistoric fear and rage at the strange object invading their space (which in reality is a nurse trying to give them a bath).

I imagine you already know this but in case anyone who's reading doesn't: people who are labelled as "bipolar" uncontrollably enter mental states of varying degrees of psychosis where they often perform actions that hurt themselves and others, and then eventually they "return to reality" and are frequently horrified to discover what it is they've done. The "return to reality" sometimes requires medication and therapy. Observe: https://freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/i-would-like-closure-bu....

It's not all bad for people who are diagnosed bipolar, though--sometimes instead of anger or fear, a manic/bipolar person experiences happiness/love/joy and creates a great work of art or makes everyone around them feel really good. I doubt that most bipolar-diagnosed people enjoy the down-swings, though, and I suspect most would rather be rid of their "condition".

Another, slightly-related example about how psychosis works: if you understand a concept perfectly when someone else explains it, and you can't explain it to yourself once they're gone, you've experienced your mind perceive what appeared to be "reality" but was not, in fact, real. While the explainer was talking to you, you perceived that you understood the concept, and you experienced the sensation of understanding, but since you didn't actually understand, you were in a state not completely like but similar to what is call psychosis.
Eh, the colored icons not loading is not really the same thing as incorrectly reporting that nothing’s wrong. Putting the status page on separate infra would be good practice, though.
Do you have any material to look at. Any drafts on his to do this?

Oh you know, an editing error -- they accidentally dropped the word "not".
Nothing in the blog posting suggests to me you can't use HTTP and Websockets for VR. The understanding of HTTP in the blog posting seems to be rooted in the early 2000s. I don't think the author has much experience in protocol design (it is harder than it looks).

It would be more productive to define a layer on top of HTTP/2 so we can leverage a lot of code that already works, rather than having to spend 10-15 years creating a new spec and codebases that need maturing.

And if you're not happy with websockets for low latency bidirectional communication: it would make more sense to improve websockets rather than reinvent the wheel.
Also, I, pencil comes to mind.

> there are at least four different competing methods, all with subtle tradeoffs.

As is the case with most implementations of things, even elementary things, that have to do with the real numbers on discrete hardware (see numerical integration, square roots and inverses, trig functions, various approximations of the real numbers themselves, etc.).

Real numbers are hard. It's a blessing only a minority of computer programs need to actually deal with them (or their approximations).
My company isn't big enough for us to have any pull but this communication is _significantly_ downplaying the impact of this issue.

One of our auxiliary services that's basically a pass through to AWS was offline nearly the entire day. Yet, this communication doesn't even mention that fact. In fact, it almost tries to suggest the opposite.

Likewise, AWS is reporting S3 didn't have issues. Yet, for a period of time, S3 was erroring out frequently because it was responding so slowly.
yes, it's basically strips gate-keepers from parts of the entertainment industry.

Through it's still the entertainment industry as in: It requires a mixture of skill, hard work and luck to even just get to the point of earning more then just your basic-living expanses with it.

Through we also have seen such a disruption in the music industries where with modern music services people can reach some degree of success without any deals with any large publishers (through it's not easy).
Is that separate AZs within the same region, or AZs across regions? I didn't think there were any bandwidth fees between AZs in the same region.
If you want to do anything decentralized, I highly recommend to read all of the scientific papers from the gnunet authors. They theoretically solved a lot of problems a long time ago that modern distributed projects keep repeating.
About the name system: It is a bit more complex than that. Everybody can "create" a domain, but others must import it's public key, somewhat compatible to a hosts file. The trick is that each domain can have arbitrary subdomains, also stored in the DHT. Now one can construct arbitrary deep trees. And everyone can choose a list of their trusted TLDs, and use them to resolve names. Say site.alice.bob.gnu (where .gnu is shipped with the client as default) and if I personally decide to trust Alice directly, I put her public key into my config file and from now on I can use site.alice instead without ever touching bob.gnu or .gnu again. Their DHT comes with unusual privacy guarantees due to clever cryptography. Furthermore gnunet already researched filesharing using content addressed blocks to allow for deduplication. Very clever. Unfortunately the implementation is not very usable and kind of stale. Some of these file sharing concepts are also better implemented by Freenet, which is a kind of anonymous decentralized web, even somewhat usable. A pity that those projects seem kind of stuck.
I'd argue that most python programs couldn't do the same in a year under older constraints. It's objectively more difficult to write 6502 assembly than it is to write python.

Modern computers have opened programming up to more people by making it simpler but with the tradeoff of more runtime execution cost.
> Basically, no sane programmer in the 90s would be happy with a string type that wasted three bytes per object.

In general, maybe, but we are talking about Borland here, so business logic apps mostly. String size is not a problem there.
I also have some personal experience with psychosis, although I don't want to disclose it on HN. How do you personally know when you're done experiencing it and have "returned to normal"?
It's insane to me that this has already fallen off the front page -- this may be the biggest security vulnerability I've seen in my 12+ year career.
It only helps to the extent that being forced to really think about the data is net useful.

In conditions of high volatility, that's not always the case. If I create some throwaway prototype to test a hypothesis based on talking to a few users and then test it on a dozen more users, I don't want to think a ton about the domain. The sheaf of possibilities is often quite large, and narrowing down the possibilities requires better understanding of the users and the things we're creating for them. That understanding is only available in the future, and we only get to that future by making something.

I really do love designing clear, expressive type systems. But the beginning of the project is when we know the very least about what will happen, so it's the worst time to invest in those type systems. It can be fine anyhow if the domain is stable and well-understood. Which I gather is Go's sweet spot, and I'm fine with that.
Same. GEOS was really cool, I was blown away by the 80 column mode. But it felt more like a gimmick and I never ended up really using it for anything real. But then again, I was 10 years old and more interested in playing Raid on Bungeling Bay.
