Regarding number 3, I should probably be in the same place since I hang around here and have had a bit of both biology and astronomy and astrophysics in school, except 2 things:

- Besides it being massively useful[1] I've experienced too many weird coincidences now. So many that I cannot in good faith say I think it is just placebo or just survivorship bias.

- Recently I have also realized that if I were to leave my religion and believe in Big Bang as the sole explanation that would also be a belief. Just because it is now as common as Catholicism once was doesn't mean it isn't also a set of more or less fundamentally unprovable beliefs.

Do I recommend it to others?

Well. I don't recommend hasting into something. Definitely not letting others use it to assume power of your life.

But if anyone experience the same as I did, that life just doesn't work, yes, my life has massively improved, and if you wonder how to start, ask the $deity of your tradition in private and say you are seriously interested. If that doesn't work try mine (I just asked "God" in the language of my childhood.)

[1]: A framework for delaying gratification is massively useful. Also I married someone with a long history of the same belief and there are so many problems I don't have to worry about.
I got the same message but the options were something like 'turn on' and 'not now'.
My general impression for years has been that log4j2 and slf4j/logback are overengineered feature-fests whereas log4j 1.x is sane and simple.

That's pretty cool! Much better than the radar based TACC on the Hilux I rented a couple of weeks ago. I came away from that one with a strong impression that it was inconsistent in a scary way and shouldn't have shipped like that.

Do you have one (or experience driving one)? If so:

- How does it go with phantom braking and various objects on the side of the road?

- Does it distinguish between various on-road things? (eg. does it brake for a dog? a plastic bag? a puff of smoke? an anvil falling off the back of the truck in front?)

- How good's its understanding of lanes (eg. a very slow car that's in another lane but currently directly in front of you due to the road curving)?

- Does it brake for objects outside the lane entering it (cross traffic, lane cut-ins, pedestrians, vegetation moving around in high winds)?
Studies show a correlation between economic down turns and increased mortality rates. I say this as someone who didn't / doesn't have the luxury of routine work from home. Adjusted for population age Florida and California had similar death rates but one was extreme in their measures and the other was very laze fare. Both were very average relative to other states.

91% is truly protective, as long as that effectiveness lasts long enough to be meaningful.

In fact, 91% is an amazingly high number - I don't know if any pre-mRNA vaccine has ever reached that level of effectiveness.

So I return to my original point -- if they're really that effective, why the hubbub?

Featherweight Go [pdf]
If you're in the United States, I would leave right now, take a few weeks off to get your head back on straight, and then look for a new job. This is one of the hottest job markets I've ever seen for software engineers, and perhaps particularly in the data science arena. I'm certain you could get another job quickly.

If you're not in the States, then I don't have a ton of advice for you, but I would certainly look around for other options. Life's too short to be miserable 40+ hours per week.
Javascript isn't to blame: bad C++ is. It is 2021 and if you are not putting things in smart pointers, you are doing it wrong.
Unlikely - JS engines do a lot of things that are inherently unsafe - pretty much anything related to garbage collection isn’t doable outside of unsafe{} blocks in rust, which as you might guess are unsafe.

I can’t speak for V8, but the majority of UaF in JSC have been due to GC bugs collecting objects early. Being in C++ isn’t relevant.

Many other bugs are in things that are doing absurd memory manipulation needed for execution speed of common primitives. The rust implementation of these would also necessarily be unsafe.
Any stable human being has some kind of framework whereby they don't just live to please every desire as soon as it pops us. The closest thing we see to immediate self gratification is the drug addict under the bridge. There is nothing wrong with having a set of norms and using them to regulate desire.

It also pays to think about the word "natural" and all that it implies. our desires are not simply rational thoughts that independently arrive in our minds - look at the different objects of desire among different cultures. There is no untouchable "natural" desire that is so holy that it should be off limits to regulation.

Religion shouldn't be criticised simply for having a framework for moderating response to desire, and because it offends some sacred cow of "natural" desire.
Ahhh. I lost, but will make sure my family will win. Ipcontentfilter='...'
Chesa Boudin’s strategy is a complete failure. Crime is up and everyone hates it. We are known internationally for how lawless and unsafe it’s become. If you want more republicans to get elected, sure vote for more candidates like Chesa who will lead to voter backlash when they get to experience the reality of buzzwords like “restorative justice” while champagne liberals with private security tell them it’s for their own good. The reality is the poor suffer the most from this woke mentality.
Gestures are nice but what I love most about Apple trackpads is everything else. Accidental input avoidance, precision along with speed, registering a click anywhere on the surface…

The gesture I care the most is smooth scrolling, which is a combination of OS graphic and input. Again, nothing smooth scrolls like the Mac or iOS
I feel like even with moderation, Reddit has a natural limitation by dint of being "adoration by upvote". You can't start a conversation outside of the boxes defined by the sub. If your post comes across as even slightly promoting of an undesired subject it mostly falls into the spam and downvote bucket, unless the sub is very specifically trying to include that, you have gained pre-approval, or you have manufactured some kind of storyline that loopholes both rules and human emotions. The average mod team is prone to abuse of power, so they also come down hard on anything potentially disruptive to the intended discourse. The incentives then move towards posting on Reddit in an intentionally deceptive "influencer" mode at all times - equal parts hype, pity, and outrage.

And there's both a reason for that being the case(nobody wants spam, and moderating can curate effectively in the best subs) and for it being harmful(community interaction ossifies into a familiar set of things that get upvotes, which subsequently pollutes every thread).
Quit and never work full time again

It looks like something out of a Tool video.
I don't know how it's done for planes, but I've heard that many automotive ECUs are programmed graphically, as a block diagram. The engineers basically pretend it's an insanely complicated analog system with amplifiers, filters, switches, and what have you. Then the whole thing gets compiled into a real time binary that simulates the system one timestep at a time.
Shameless plug, but do check out [sakura.css](https://github.com/oxalorg/sakura).

What about people who have already survived Covid?

Studies are pretty clear that they're somewhat more immune than folks who've had the shot.

If it’s a bug in V8 it’s likely either GC or codegen, no amount of smart pointers gets you to being completely safe, but the same applies to all the “safe” languages as well.

Ask HN: Resources for learning how to write more secure code?
I don’t know much more than how to prevent basic SQL injection and to avoid pickl files. I didn’t take a cybersecurity class in college and I don’t want to go into cybersecurity, I just want to write more secure code.

Are there any books I should read or techniques I should learn? I mostly write Python and C++ if that makes a difference
OK, so this is new to me. I can't see anything in my mind, but I can construct any celebrity's voice completely perfectly in my head. I can read anything in anyone else's voice. When you read things in your head, are they only in your own voice?
It's not all roses though. Aristotle's teleology for example, made it's way into both religion (with enormous harm via Thomas Aquinas) and the sciences. We're still trying to stamp it out of the latter when it occasionally still pops up in places like evolutionary biology.
High-Performance Iterable Library
Does anyone know of any similar courses related to NLP?
- Strict type control (in TypeScript)

- Works with all iterables - sync/async

- Open protocol, no synthetic/wrapper classes, iterable on input and output

- High performance (way faster than RXJS)

- Easy to get started, small learning curve
I don't see this as a valid analogy. You can't aggregate the dull knives in order to almost replicate or even improve the cutting performance of a sharp one.

But you can use many separate mirrors with artifacts to replicate a perfect mirror, as long as you are able to do some post-processing on the array of mirrors with artifacts. And with proper post-processing you may even be capable of extracting additional information which a single perfect mirror would not be able to deliver.
Definitely seems like we’re part of the way there. You only see these problems to this degree on the west coast. LA, SF, Portland, Seattle. It’s not hard to figure it out.

Android is also technically a Linux distribution, and as you could imagine, its support for touchscreens is great. You can do amazing UI stuff with Linux if you throw away the "standard" desktop stack.
> Getting sick sucks though.

Yeah, but that's really up to me, isn't it? There's a reason I choose not to live in China, Laos, or Vietnam.

Now that the vaccine is so widely available: (a) health officials should drop all orders and regulations, and (b) hospitals ought to say "look, here's our COVID capacity; if we're full we can't serve you, sorry" -- with that capacity set at a reasonable, sustainable number for them.

... unless the shot isn't what they say it is in terms of effectiveness or safety. But if it is really that effective and safe, I don't see any reason not to implement (a) and (b).

> Perhaps the answer is not a secret conspiracy but a rational, human desire to protect people.

That's not what I see when people's basic human rights and freedoms are being removed. People in Australia are being kept in freakin' internment camps.

When a 91+% effectiveness shot is available for free to everyone, the bar of rationally protecting people has been more than cleared. This doesn't appear to be about that anymore.
This is fascinating because I posted earlier about how I think the hardware is there for us with Aphantasia, just that there is a software lock-out. I need to try LSD now. It's been on my to-do for a while. I managed to see images a handful of times through no obvious mechanism and it blew my mind, like it did yours.
I can vouch for Rhasspy, it's an amazing and flexible piece of software, though it does require some setup and tech knowledge (albeit with a usable web GUI); and it's very DIY on defining the actual voice commands. I recommend pairing it with Node-RED [0] for routing commands to devices, it has plugins for most things.

The only thing I struggled with was getting the wake-word config right: I could never find the right balance point where it responded every time, without also having annoying false positives, so I ended up turning it off. It does support multiple wake-word engines; I'm gonna have another go with Picovoice Porcupine now that they're opened up custom wake-word training for free.

I'm most heavily experienced with Rhasspy's sister project, voice2json [1], which I used to build a voice-controlled car jukebox [2], and it's been working fantastically. (It triggers from a Bluetooth remote, so no wake-word issues.) The two projects share the same core engine.

For hardware, Raspberry 3/4 perform quite well, and strong recommend for ReSpeaker [3] for audio (either usb or 4-mic hat).

You're not wrong, but neither is the person you're responding to. You responded with logic for why the vaccine was a good idea, while they only talked about what was typical in the past. Past American medical philosophy has mostly been dictated by an attitude of "do no harm" rather than "optimize for least harm". These yield very different recommendations.

> But when batteries cost less than $100 per kWh

You were already able to get LFP batteries outside of China for a bit cheaper than that for 2 years at car maker wholesale quantities.

Battery cells plummeted as a part of vehicle cost.

The cheapest cost I ever heard quoted in China was $64 per kw/h. I don't preclude that battery makers with own car factories like BYD have real costs around $30-$40.

Taking cost at $40, BYD Dolphin had $1200 in it, comparable to costs economy class IC cars have in their whole powertrain.

But EV vehicles are on overall easier to engineer. Part counts of EVs are much smaller than IC cars.

More importantly, you can deliver satisfying driving experience with much smaller car if you use electric traction, while <999cc engines will have small powerbands no matter what amount of smarts is added to their ECUs.

I always tell that 1-to-1 IC, and EV comparisons make little sense. EVs are a whole different class of vehicles.
I think they mean one of these:

Not sure about aviation computers, but for car engines it’s typically a set of tables with something like air pressure on the y axis and engine rpm on the x axis where each cell has a fuel value. Then you have other tables for other variables such as spark ignition advance, or anything else that can be changed electronically on the specific engine. Tables are typically used because they make the software quite simple/fast. And the values in the table can be tweaked (either from simulation or by experiments on the real engine) that separates the configuration from the code.
The more I am using Linux the more I wish I had gone with Fedora for my personal desktop when I was forced to switch from Windows to Linux a couple of months ago (forced by hardware issues with an unused onboard video controller which I can set Linux to fully ignore but sends Windows in an infinite reboot loop).

Don’t get me wrong. Out of the Windows, Mac and Ubuntu machines I have, the Ubuntu one is still my favorite (especially since switching from 20.04 LTS to 20.10) but Fedora is doing things so much more along the lines of what I want.

It’s more cutting edge but still very stable and well tested. It doesn’t force snaps onto me. I’d much rather install flatpak software. And it has a cleaner Gnome interface. Even though I kind of like the Ubuntu sidebar dock, it’s not worth all the other awkward behaviors with Ubuntu trying to override Gnome (for example, the existence of the Ubuntu Software store really annoys me since it doesn’t support Flatpak and simply seems to run a lot worse than the Gnome software store that I also have installed).

Me either! Took me until I was 30-something to suddenly figure it out. Bought lactose-free milk and .. poop good. WTF. ALL I ATE AS A CHILD WAS MILKSHAKES AND I HAD CONSTANT DIARRHEA.

Also did not notice I had very serious ADHD until I was 35, reading an article in the New York Times.
> I've read some where the common cold was probably a pandemic virus originally, and it mutated to a common cold we have today, and we mutually evolved to deal with the common cold. Something like that...

A factor that comes into play is the following. Diseases tend to be less dangerous to children. When a new disease emerges, no-one has immunity to it, so there's plenty of adults who may get it more severely. But, after a certain point, the people being born are exposed to that disease when they are young, where it won't affect them as badly.

This can look like the disease getting milder, but it's just that after a while most people will experience it when young when they will get milder effects from it. And after that point they'll have some immunity for it.
I think it's much easier to parse unambiguously, especially when you have operators on values that also appear in types (e.g. `*` and &`).
> I used to report these things, but half of the time, they usually don't get it fixed

You've definitely got to prioritize here. Minor things, send once and move on for the most part. Some things really don't warrant a response; if you tell me I'm exposing TLS 1.0 and the world is going to end, I'm going to ignore you because I have reasons to run TLS 1.0 and too many poor quality reports; same thing if I expose the version of Apache I'm running --- I don't care if some checklist says I shouldn't do it.

If you tell me such and such link is XSS (and it actually is), I'll try to fix it ASAP and hopefully let you know, but sometimes communication falls through the cracks; anyway, you'll be able to see it's fixed. For real issues, it's probably worth trying to follow up after a couple weeks. If they have a public security program, use that, otherwise customer service and whois contacts, maybe send a paper mail to the CEO. Look at how project zero reports on communication with the vulnerabilities they report, and try to emulate that. Obviously, they've got a lot of industry contacts and their team is well known, so they'll have an easier time getting in touch with people than you.

> Is there a way to ethically make a decent living from this? IE: consulting, employed, self-employed, etc?

Depends on where you live. If you live in a low cost country, you might be able to make enough from bug bounties. Otherwise, you're going to need to figure out how to get hired, either as a general researcher doing reports on the world at large (like you're currently doing), or as a consultant for specific clients identified in advance. While you might get lucky and turn some reports into a business relationship, it's tricky to do that without looking like you're begging for bounties https://www.troyhunt.com/beg-bounties/

Apply to existing security consulting companies and see how that goes.

Well, I think what they're getting at is what people call "legislating from the bench", the fourth amendment very clearly protects people from government snooping and seizure without a warrant from a judge, deliberately broad or lax interpretations of things happen in court all the time for whatever reason. Setting a precedent that the fourth amendment doesn't apply to your land outside your house and things like that are very obvious examples of this sort of thing.

They might, but they'll be getting Linux for the wrong reasons. And will end up dissatisfied because they'll be expecting Windows only free. Which will hurt adoption more.

I am having trouble finding anything about this; Google results bring up nothing. Can you provide a source?
Heh.

I remember seeing a framework for this kind of thing, i.e. using exploits to display warnings, hotpatch or otherwise patch servers back on Hackcon #1 in February 2006 in Oslo.

I think it was HP who presented it and I also can't remember hearing about it since and I think there are good reasons for that[1].

In this case however the advantages might actually outweigh the risks as long as it is done carefully.

[1]: others mention services or servers that no one know how to restart anymore.
Why ? You have the browser for such things. In UNIX a shell is a shell, a console is a TTY (that's where the output of a shell mostly goes) and a terminal emulator is a TTY emulator.

Now throw sales teams, middle management, executive pressure and competition in this equation. These things push engineers to cut corners and find workarounds. This is true for all software engineering it’s just that sadly in case of airplanes it costs lives.
