Thanks! Didn't know about SSH -L. But we'll need non-techie admin dashboard access, and from dynamic IPs in Europe and the US, so obfuscating wp-login.php might be the only option.

Interesting idea... Thanks hadn't thought if that.
> Civil asset forfeiture encourages criminality in police.

If you'll forgive a moment of polemic: In my judgment, civil-asset forfeiture is a crime, full-stop.

As a regular citizen without special legal training, it seems like as blatant a violation of the 5th Amendment as one could imagine.

Perhaps with more legal training I'd judge it differently. But I'm not ready to give the court system the benefit of the doubt on this. And I would be deeply skeptical of any argument to the contrary.

If the SCOTUS can justify civil-asset forfeiture (in its current form), then I don't see how the Bill of Rights offers any protection at all.

Lithium-ion batteries don't contain metallic lithium, so water is perfectly fine.

The current state-of-the-art method for extinguishing burning electric vehicles is that firefighters use a special rig to lift the whole car into an open top container (like you use for waste on construction sites) and then fill that with water and let it sit for a few days.

What is news? Consider reading a 10-20-50-100 year old news magazine, it is a lot easier to see through the biases and agendas in todays news after this. A lot of it is PR or fear-inducing to sell you status or prop up the weapons industry.

That said I do like long-form news / docs that focus on the ordinary man on the ground. Just remember there is never a truly objective lens.

> It's also not as simple as coverage, you also need good performance, which means you need a good optimizing compiler for the GPU architecture, and that's not obvious either. Unless they are using Apple's drivers? I don't know that they are.

She's been writing progress reports as she goes. This one is from back in May.

>I’ve begun a Gallium driver for the M1, implementing much of the OpenGL 2.1 and ES 2.0 specifications. With the compiler and driver together, we’re now able to run OpenGL workloads like glxgears and scenes from glmark2 on the M1 with an open source stack. We are passing about 75% of the OpenGL ES 2.0 tests in the drawElements Quality Program used to establish Khronos conformance. To top it off, the compiler and driver are now upstreamed in Mesa!

Gallium is a driver framework inside Mesa. It splits drivers into frontends, like OpenGL and OpenCL, and backends, like Intel and AMD. In between, Gallium has a common caching system for graphics and compute state, reducing the CPU overhead of every Gallium driver. The code sharing, central to Gallium’s design, allows high-performance drivers to be written at a low cost. For us, that means we can focus on writing a Gallium backend for Apple’s GPU and pick up OpenGL and OpenCL support “for free”.

After WWI, the mass horror caused by certain types of weapons like chemical weapons were enough to get all powerful countries to agree we didn't want to see them on the planet.

Hopefully we'll have a chance to recover from the new horrors we are creating too.

Whether you have the capability to make them or not, either the US, Russia, both, or someone else will be HAPPY to sell you a bunch. Which is another reason those with the capability to make them want to keep it, to make the money, maybe even a more significant reason. And countries that _don't_ have the resources to pay for F-35s or air craft carrieres have possibly more to 'gain' here. Killer robots will be a great equalizer in the ability to create a nightmare hellscape, making it accessible on a much cheaper budget.
In the UK and US about 0.2-0.3% of the population have died of this thing and we're almost certainly over the worst of it (e.g. annual death rates will be lower going forward) due to vaccination.

It doesn't matter how many times people are fed the stats - they just have different opinions. To some people that's a big number, to others it's trivial.

I have found no way to bridge this gap, it's probably the main reason that I've found the past two years difficult.

You either think it's a non issue because 1-2% of people die every year anyway, or you think it's the worst thing ever because... well I don't know, but lots of people think that and want us to reduce our quality of life dramatically to try and combat it.

> But you can't know that any other country isn't pursuing them.

Indeed, what would happen is that if such a treaty was signed, some other countries would develop them anyway, as hidden modes for the use of their otherwise non-autonmous UAVs and UGVs. So any such treaty would essentially be handing the world to countries that cheat -- which would likely include Russia and China.

Pardon me, but when you say "it works this way", what exactly do you mean?

The specific way the justice system operates in the US isn't the way things are done in Europe or China. In particular, lack of regulations is justified here by the logic of "we don't need regulations; if there's any harm done, one should take the offending party to court".

If you're talking about how no system is truly democratic, or that majority rule is bad, that's a whole another can of worms, and outside the scope of this discussion.

Popular HN story topics are pretty narrow when it comes to seeing the bigger picture of what's going on in the world.

I don't check often but a quick way to see interesting topical news is seeing the trending tab on Twitter. It's not always meaningful but it does a good job exposing me to things that I wouldn't choose to look up.

HN lacks meaningful discussion on basically any works of art, like films and tv. Sports aren't brought up either. It's not just politics that gets left out. Book recommendations on HN are also mostly focused on productivity and tech. I appreciate that it creates an environment that's not emotionally taxing but I also realize that it is a bubble.

Have bans on chemical weapons been completely useless, might as well get rid of them all too?

Or nuclear non-proliferation?

Certainly have not been entirely succesful, but I wouldn't want to get rid of them.

As with chemical weapons, they'll still exist, and they'll still be used. But getting the most powerful nations to agree that they are unacceptable and their use has consequences in the international community matters for whether they quickly become pervasive. Vs. allowing the US and Russian defense industries to be in a race to equip the entire world with them as quickly as possible.

> If knowing this information is critical to the safety of the user, it should be in bold letters on the packaging.

Knowing this information is critical for your general safety as an adult human. OP might as well have burnt themselves on an ovenproof dish on the counter that they forgot was hot.

We cannot make a society such that adults never risk sustaining burn injuries. Thus we need to educate everyone on first response for burn injuries. And yes that's in school, but also in society as a whole, like what the NFPA does with public outreach.

As lithium batteries become more prevalent, we need to also include that into the education, sure, but then it's more to do with the much higher watt-hour products like electric scooters and bicycles, where you can burn your house down in cases like this.
What would you say is the ratio of genuine crypto innovation/research/companies compared to scams? Considering the signal-to-noise ratio, I don't think it's that weird to just say "it's all a scam anyway" since that rule of thumb actually works extraordinarily well. Unless you're talking to an expert or having a deep dive you've gotten the point across correctly.
The entire thing does look like a hoax. I would expect a guide to be full of detail on how to implement those things without anybody noticing. Whether it's intended to be a hoax or not, it's a very good joke, and a not very useful guide.

But anyway, the non-hoax better strategy for a saboteur is exactly doing whatever destructive acts come naturally to people. So a real guide would probably have those same topics.
I'm genuinely curious. How would you propose Facebook enforce this?

People selling bikes include both first-hand buyers and second-hand buyers (people who bought it from someone else).

Without a central registry like what we have for cars, I don't know what Facebook could do.

I'm not sure where parent argued that we should not be concerned about police brutality, hate crimes, or the ongoing fraying of the social fabric which gets commonly internalized as a sense that "society is not validating my existence".

IMO it would be a good idea to have a separate prosecuting authority for crimes by police. The regular prosecuting authority needs a good working relationship with police forces and will always find it hard to hold them to account.
I think you could take this further. There's another "log4j" vulnerability out there right now, I guarantee it. It might be exploited, it might not be. But there's no patch.

What are you doing about it?

With log4j you have a brutal combination of:

1. RCE

2. Exposure

RCE happens frequently but often attackers don't have an easy time getting to the exploitable code. With log4j it's trivial - every app can be owned.

But here are some questions:

1. Why do those apps have the ability to make network requests?

2. For the apps that need to make those requests internally, why aren't those over mTLS?

3. For the apps that need to make them externally, why isn't that going through egress proxying?

4. Why are there credentials spewed all over your environment variables across your services? Are they short lived?

It's actually not super hard to have a worst-case scenario vulnerability like log4j be not that bad for your organization. A bit of hardening and even if something like this happens you're in a good position to wait, monitor, and patch.
Its just incredible to me that this is allowed to go on and on. It is clearly BS all of the way down - where are the regulators to stop this before the massive crash?

If it's just writing to a file or the screen you don't need much.

But then you need interpolation of arguments. And other appenders, what about logging to the network for aggregation elsewhere. And logging levels. And a couple more features and corner cases.

And before you know it, you're writing a lot of code which could be packaged into a library.

But you don't need to, like with most library stuff you could write it in-house yourself.
Haha, what is that screen?! "We didn't keep our part of the contract, but we are charging you anyway"?

How on earth did that make it all the way into the app.

Are you saying there would be more security issues if we thanked maintainers more?
This kind of reasoning is circular. It justifies any and all escalation on the chance that others are doing the same. Also baked into the assumption is that fire fights fire.

I don't want my state to produce killer robots. Even if other states do. I can only impact my own. It's no secret that the US disproportionately engages in this "warfare" (read: asymmetrical slaughter) and even under a "liberal" head of state (Obama) civilian casualties of our drone program was 90%.

You're also assuming regulating killer robots means a ban, when the international community could restrict deployments or justifiable uses. It's much more realistic even if rogue drones are created.

The decision makers are duly elected representatives of their constituent body and it is beyond time they acted like it. Otherwise we're going to keep having more Vietnams, more Afghanistans, more pointless civilian death.

Thats the point. Giving back money for the libraries used might not fix anything and can be difficult in many cases. But the most and important way of "giving back" would be testing and review of the libraries used. If especially the large companies using this library had used some of the dev hours for testing and review, the bug should have been found early on.
Only a handful of countries are capable of developing killer robots to maturity and they will end up monopolizing the arms trade market. The tech will proliferate for this reason alone.

If AI is integral to killer drones, then expect a lot more skirmishes going forward to gather data. And realistically there's only a handful of countries / powerblocks who has the impunity to conduct such "research". And when you narrow perquisites down account for synergy with domestic AI industry, that elite club dwindles even smaller. US, PRC, EU if she gets her shit together.

But IMO killer robots along with developments like prompt global strike will trigger dreadnaught tier shift in resetting global power dynamic. Arms race dilemma 101, countries that can, simply can't afford not to pursue them.
