Wow, it's hard to listen to these cringy old politicians rambling for more than a minute so I might have missed it later but but is this what you're talking about?

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that? By injection inside or or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs and it would be interesting to check that. So you're going to have to use medical doctors but it sounds interesting to me."

He's talking about medical research or trials. He's probably confused about what they told him or doesn't understand how it would work, but he's talking to some doctor or scientist off screen about what they've just told him is being worked on. He didn't suggest people inject bleach, he was asking about medical trials.

Is that really what the whole "he told people to inject bleach" scandal was based on? Surely not. As far as gaffes go it's not even that bad is it? What's so bad about it?
They're just not properly tamed yet, they'll call in Cesar to instill some discipline and work ethics.
Seems like we're in agreement, unless I'm misreading something.

Obviously, you can say that, but the people you say it too now also loses their reasons to uphold your words. If you tell me I can't have food from you, and I also have no other way to get food, I'm going to have to disregard your right to property you were hoping to have and force my way into your plate of food.

And now we're back at the typical human power struggles and infighting.

I think your point is that simply asking for food when you don't have it doesn't magically solve the problem. And I agree, but if you think about who you're asking it makes more sense. You're asking those who have all the food or means of producing food to give you some, or to do something about your lack of food. They were handed ownership of food and food production, now there's people who feel they don't have the food they need. They're complaining to those who own the food and its production, which to me makes sense, since they are the best positioned to solve the problem as the owner of the food and food production. And those who don't own food or food production have little ability to do anything about it. That's what I was trying to convey, there's no where else to try my luck, everything is already fenced up.

This is kind of just a debate on equal opportunity and equity I guess. Everyone should have equal opportunity, and those who haven't in the past might need equitable retribution to make up for it.

Asking for that I think is very different than asking to be handed things without effort. I think most people simply ask for justice, if you had land and couldn't make food with it, so be it. Most people might accept their fate. Now it be nice to also deal with those unlucky in their attempts, but now it's a different debate. If you never had land to begin with, had your land taken, etc., that's another story.

I'm also 100% in agreement with the following:

The WHO acknowledges there may be a link between myocarditis and the vaccine.[1]

Sudden cardiac arrest incidents increased in 2020 (vaccine was not officially realeased until Dec. 2020).[2]

Does anything like that exist as a computer-attachable cam, e.g. for Linux? Or are we stuck with <2015 cameras unless they come as part of a smartphone?
It's trivial to fix in retrospect, nearly impossible to anticipate all similar corner cases ahead of time, and -- most importantly -- indicative of the type of logical bugs our systems of the world have that permit hacking from script-kiddies to state actors.
The title mentions performance, but it is not the primary motivation AFAICT. It is only mentioned to say “it is not slower”.

The main concern was security, so it makes sense to use BLAKE2, which benefits from existing cryptanalysis of the ChaCha20 permutation, which is already used in the RNG for number generation.

(And it makes sense to use BLAKE2s in particular, to support non-64-bit systems without penalty.)

Using a single hash (instead of picking one at runtime) simplifies the attack surface IMO.

I'm fine with a federally funded broadcaster. Media in Canada (news and entertainment) has really nose-dived since private industry all amalgamated in the 2000s. It's not perfect, but it's not as bad as it could be. (that's kind of the Great Canadian Motto)

Most newspapers are all copy/paste nationwide now, and the majority of TV production is handled by the people who own the medium into the house (cable/fibre/satellite), making "Canadian, eh!" versions of American culture and passing it off as CanCon.

The CBC are out there at least trying to keep it real. Most of them, at least.
> The handset that is most compatible with those forks is – quite ironically – Google’s very own Pixel. The rationale being that those devices have additional hardware features that make them more secure than other phones.

The Google Pixel line's hardware features are not the reason for their better support in alternative Android distributions.

The reason is that only a small percentage of Android phones have bootloaders that can be unlocked and have kernel sources available to assist developers with porting another flavor of Android to the device. This is mostly enough to enable support LineageOS and other Android distributions that are designed to be used with the bootloader unlocked, provided that developers have access to these phones and are interested in supporting them.

Among those phones, only a few have a bootloader that can be relocked with a custom signing key specified by the user. This is necessary for official support on alternative Android distributions that are designed to be used with the bootloader locked. The Google Pixel line is well-known by developers and users of these distributions for being in this category. If any other phone manufacturer also produces phones meeting these specifications and publicizes this, I'm sure they would be embraced as alternatives to the Pixels.
This is a very good argument for making keyboard one of the devices that can be used for UI interaction. And, indeed, keyboard-navigable UI is a hard accessibility requirement for products that I work on.

But then there's this whole subculture in Unix that basically claims that keyboard should be the only device used for interaction. The software that they make makes it deliberately hard, or outright impossible, to use the mouse. And there's a cult following around this, based solely on the notion that it's somehow better in general.

(A stark example of this approach is https://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/, where it's readily obvious from the name and the logo.)
A car is a liability. And it does go bad if it sits in the garage, the tires, the battery dies...Plus the space it takes up. Maybe if you didn't have that car in your garage you could do something interesting with that garage, like form Hewlett-Packard or Apple? I expect there wasn't a car in those garages. So it takes up space, about the same as what you need to house someone, and if you want to sell it you I suppose have to drive it...no I guess you're right in that regard, you can show it to people until you sell it. But it's better to regift it, so you're not responsible for harm that could come from bad condition, in fact come to think if there's no trust it might itself be a regift. Yeah, it's a liability.

The argument here is that many (most?) Linux systems have access to a hardware SHA2, which is equally secure (in this setting) but faster. Attacks on SHA2 or Blake2 (really, of SHA1, for that matter) aren't how viable real-world attackers on the LKRNG are going to happen. It's good to see SHA1 getting swept away for other reasons though!

My employer tried to move off them 2 years ago and didn't manage it.

The problem is the year subs. To avoid wasting money you need to do it at the end of a year, but you also need to get your users trained up before the switch. We hit a complication and ran out of time and so had to re-up.

> for work that's way more difficult than programming

That just reads as “I am better than you”.

Programming is arbitrarily difficult, and it rarely has an objective reality to measure against. I have some kind of “Peter Principle” in mind where people continuously reach their own personal limits of complexity. However they then expand their skills in an ill-defined problem space to level up and beat their prior limits. Programmers display a massive variety of talent, and most of the talent is invisible because the problem space is heinously deeply complex and outside observers only see glimmers on the surface.

Or is your implication that idiots and/or lazy people choose to be programmers? Certainly there is a share of them in the discipline too: perhaps smart for chasing money and perhaps even content with the challenges they face personally.

Regardless, you are being very judgmental towards programming.

Your own descriptions of your discipline could be perceived as rote work or make work, on the same level as making another CRUD app for a business, that doesn’t require deep applied intelligence. How people apply their skills and intellect to the problem defines how hard the problem is.

Then I think of https://library.sciencemadness.org/library/books/ignition.pd... which I read as a study in applied intuition in Chemistry at a genius level (with some survivor bias to boot!).

Do you have a cold, the flu or Covid-19? How to tell
Most languages, especially those you listed, are rather similar. You learn how to program in one(really program, not make something compile from hail marys) , and switching to another isn't that difficult. New libraries, different names, sometimes a new paradigm or two but nothing really groundbreaking.

Unless functional programming takes over the world, then a lot of us are screwed.
Prince Andrew in the spotlight after Ghislaine Maxwell conviction
Excellent point! I think id like to reiterate my "yes and" stance- your critique of what is lacking doesnt dismiss , it acknowledges the claims but asks for more of a proof. I think thats good rigor.
At some point the images from phones are no longer photographs… but some kind of photo-illustration.

Taking landscape shots with new iPhones creates some very intense over-saturation of skies and some general HDR-like balancing (even with HDR setting turned off).

I understand that phone makers want to give people devices that “make the best photos” but it does sometimes feel like the image processing is going to far, and producing a representation of reality that is weirdly unrealistic.
Eurgh, I suppose it could mean that. Very misleading if so.
> Now maybe-possibly ineffectual recall repairs will swarm facilities

One of these involves the frunk potentially opening itself on the highway. That's a pretty serious issue, and probably significantly more dangerous than most of the repairs that need to be made.

> Another reason why car over-regulation hurts the driver most of all!

This isn't car over-regulation. Tesla does not have the capacity to repair all of their vehicles in a timely manner, and will not make the repair manual available for reasonable prices so that 3rd party shops could do the repairs.

You know who can fix my Dodge if the dealer is backed up with warranty stuff? Every other mechanic shop on the planet.

Tesla shipped a faulty product, Tesla doesn't have the repair facilities to rectify that, and now Tesla owners are suffering because of it.

It is in no way the government's fault for not wanting people driving around 2 ton hunks of metal at 70 mph when a piece of it might randomly obstruct their vision at any point. That seems an eminently reasonable requirement to me.
Bjork's swan dress: A reviled Oscars outfit that's now iconic
Note for those who only read the headline: the 3x speedup was achieved by removing a call to RDRAND in the extraction path, not the change in hash function.
http://toastytech.com/guis/qnxdemo.html
I think speed is definitely a big part of this, though the speedup comes primarily from getting rid of superfluous calls to RDRAND. Blake2s is already in the kernel (after a fashion) for WireGuard itself; I don't think Blake3 is. An additional nerdy point here is that the extraction phase of the LKRNG is already using ChaCha (there's a sense in which a CSPRNG is really just the keystream of a stream cipher), and Blake2s and ChaCha are closely related.
Yeah: I would take the opposite stance to this whole "accounts should be deleted due to inactivity" BS and say that a company that you entrusted your data to now has a moral responsibility to do everything they can to hold on to that data until such time as you explicitly relinquish them of that duty, and if the cost of such a requirement is scary you shouldn't put yourself in a position to hold on to other peoples' data in the first place.
I know but: 1) what might be hiding behind the title is an interesting opinion piece, and 2) it is the discussion that may be interesting, sometimes more so than the post itself.
Can you link to a paper, summary, or textbook with this algorithm? I'd like to learn more, but searching for "Griffey-Lim" only returns this HN thread, and a bunch of very unrelated news items about money laundering.
The kernel needs randomness too. If it's done there right once, why duplicate the effort in userspace (and watch all the hilarious ways userspace solutions fail)?

getrandom was motivated by the fact that using device files has many failure modes.
People are generating images by fine tuning ruDall-e on different kind of images (including their own artwork) under hashtag LookingGlassAI https://mobile.twitter.com/hashtag/LookingGlassAI and they are mostly incredible.
* Poor discoverability, as you said.

* Poor availability of navigation options other than linear order.

* Poor availability of editing / correction / undo (and conversely, there often was an easy to hit (deliberately or accidentally) button that would erase everything on the screen so you could start over. Users sometimes trained themselves to use that for any correction, because it WAS effectively superior to other available correction methods).

As an anecdote, in one job, I encountered a text based application for parts inventory management in a garage. The only way to look up parts was to type their full, exact name (And in our country, mechanics were not necessarily solid speakers of the local language).

The programmer didn't see a problem with this, arguing that his design promoted enhanced literacy among his users…
I love Hammerspon, I use it for keyboard switching to/launching specific apps, telling my iTerm2 + tmux session to ssh into certain remote hosts, automagically putting all my windows where I want them, manipulating my audio volume from the keyboard, toggling different input/output device pairs, etc.
> Other vaccines are closer to 1:100000, which isn't far from the myocarditis risk of an infection with COVID-19

The risk is given by the FDA as up to 1:14285 (males aged 12-17) for the second dose:

https://www.fda.gov/media/154869/download

However, a study from Hong Kong found an incidence of up to 1:2700 in the second dose (males aged 12-17):

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34849657/

What we don't know is whether a vaccination would actually prevent Myocarditis in a breakthrough infection. These risks may well not be mutually exclusive. In any case, the risks are not directly comparable unless you assume 100% PCR-confirmed infection risk over six months, which is of course unrealistic.
> 45TB of text data was used to train GPT-3.

A kilobyte of text is roughly half a page of text. If the 45TB does not include the size of metadata, then that comes out to roughly 3,000 pages of text per living person on the planet. Especially when you consider how little of the world's population is online, and how much writing isn't preserved, that would probably be a double-digit percentage of the total extant digital written record of humans.

(This makes me think that the size does include metadata size or markup. But even if it includes those things, you're still probably looking at 0.1-10% of the extant digital written record. The only way it's not a significant fraction of all extant human writing is if the size is also including copious amounts of non-text data, such as embedded images or videos.)
Sure, but that just further affirms my point that some types of depression are simply chemical.
It's legal to buy them, but you can't manufacture/sell them like you used to.

For small cars (compacts, sedans, coupes), the one thing I've noticed is that they seem to have much less window space than they used to. The reason for this, I've been told, is that there's a minimum height which the top of the door frame now has to reach. In older small cars, I remember being able to comfortably sit with my arm resting on the window sill. Modern cars, my arm has to be at an uncomfortable angle to even attempt to do so. Last time I was car shopping, I had a couple people mention that it was because of a safety regulation.

Which is fine, passenger safety is a nice thing, but there then is the unintended consequence of less overall visibility when driving.

My parents had a Saturn SL2 when I was a child. The car had amazing visibility, huge windows. It felt like driving in a bubble. When I compare that to newer cars, the visibility is much lower because of the smaller windows, maybe larger vertical support beams between the front and back seats... I assume that why they started having to include back-up cameras. You just can't see as much in a modern car as you could in an older one.

(Edited a couple things for clarity)
My answer to that is "maintainability". The more flexibility and moving parts we add to the RNG, the more things that can break. The delta from "one hash function" to "two hash functions" would involve not just adding a second hash function, but also a bunch of configuration code, target-specific logic, fallback handling, etc. There are plenty of places in the kernel that need to care about this kind of logic, but I don't believe the RNG is one of them, and I don't particularly want to require the RNG maintainers to spend their time caring about it.

Additionally, it's not just the hash function that would matter for speed here, but also the expansion. Linux RNG uses ChaCha20 for that, so if you were going all-in on target-specific speed, you'd need additional logic for swapping that out for a hardware-accelerated cipher (probably AES, which would introduce even more considerations given that it has a 16-byte block size, vs ChaCha20's 64-byte blocks).
It is not accurate to compare the capacity in Amp-hours because the Nikon EN-EL15C battery has twice the voltage (two Li-ion cells in series) of a single-cell smartphone battery.
Young enough for a political comeback.
"Genes determine who's smart and who's dumb" would not be racist unless you suggested (or, worse, demonstrated) that the smart genes were concentrated in specific breeding communities, or lacking in (presumably other) such communities.

We have reason to believe that some such "smart genes" are inherited. That's not very egalitarian, but it is also not racist. The implication is that these smart genes are rare not only in your dispossessed underclass, but rare everywhere. In any place where their promise fails to be nurtured and cultivated, humanity is the poorer for it. By the numbers, if the genes are more-or-less equally distributed, the dispossessed include absolutely many more stewards of these genes than the privileged. Then, it is a crime against society for the privileged to have failed to nurture them wherever possible.

But of course it is not only carriers of "smart genes" who could provide a strong net benefit society as a whole by being well nurtured. Arguably, for every "smart gene" carrier who would give back more than the cost of the nurturing, there are many others who would also effloresce. The only way we know to identify and nurture them all is to nurture everybody and see who blooms. But that would cost money.
After using macs for the better part of a decade and recently moving to Linux: the Linux desktop ecosystem is vibrant and fun if you like to tinker.

There are things that aren’t as streamlined like power management but I’ve been able to get my framework laptop to pretty much exactly how I like it.

I was nervous about sleep/hibernation but honestly using systemd and a couple of tweaks (enabling sleep-then-hibernate) and everything is super reliable, rarely any issues.

Wayland + Sway is a killer combination and everything is super snappy.

I fell in love with workspaces in Mac with touchpad gestures but on a high refresh rate monitor the animation is so slow and it cannot be tweaked. On sway there is no animation and it is instant.

I think once the steam deck matures we are going to truly see a year of Linux desktop soon.
