> Fully self driving cars are far further off in the future than most in the sector would publicly admit.

Full self driving have NOT been solved for highways in a desert.

This is literally the easiest real world scenario imaginable. Highly and strictly regulated environment, and no obscurities like snow happening. I don't think there is a hope we will get any close to self drive with current technology.

Is the sudden object in front of me a block of concrete that fell of or stray page from newspaper floating by on a wind gust? Hard bake or ignore it?

We cant possibly capture all edge cases of real life. You need systems that have cognitive capabilities to deal with real life

Or optionally different type of transportation that is not so complex to navigate and understand. There are already fully automated metro lines. Maybe solution is to change the problem itself.
I think you've confused the argument.

There is no denial that the subjective experience of free will is real, even to a free will denier. That is, we're not talking about qualia. See the distinction of 'hard' free will.

So in fact there was no absence of subjective agency. But I get your point. You hold the belief that free will deniers are themselves automatons. A strange but expected reversal of conclusions--understandable, as yet it's more of that reflexive defensiveness on display.

And to your second point, for your statement to follow, you'll first have to show that truth seeking has transcendent meaning or inherent value in the first place. That sounds as tough to solve as the free will debate ;).
Quite. Would MAD really have deterred Hitler?
I wonder as to what types of functions the author speaks of on "Make custom functions, don't rely on the platform".
The article mentions a "PHP 4.x. (application) which is now running on PHP 8.0". Does that mean that the author has avoided using portions of the PHP API? If so, is anyone able to think of something that the author could have done in this case?

I also think that there must be a line between getting hacked because some 5th level transitional dependency had a memory overflow bug which made it possible for the attacker to push some sensitive data in the response headers vs "auth? what auth?".

Very hard to exactly define it though, where it should lie, other than the extreme examples.

Designers and surgeons would die without it. We have to introduce this unnatural thing to life or FB would lose money and humanity will suffer.

I think young surgeons would get a trauma moving from this nonsense to real surgery. Or maybe they will try to press a button in the patient's stomach.

OK, that is a different kind of welfare trap. Something similar occurs in the UK, where earning more money from an employer can reduce benefits payments and you end up worse off in real terms. However I was really asking about the welfare trap of "get money for doing literally nothing", which I personally believe is a nonsense that only a tiny minority would be happy doing.

I've found keyboard integration really hit or miss on Android. On iOS it does quite a bit better.
Hybrid (Argon2id) is probably the safest bet if you are unsure.

The specific modes are useful dependent on the threat model you are protecting against. Argon2i protects better against timing/side-channel attacks and Argon2d protects better against brute-forcing attacks.

In my opinion, a developer should (in most cases) focus on application security instead of picking the perfect hashing algorithm, as application security is far more crucial.

What exactly is "white heritage" anyway?

Precisely. The breadth of Native American genetic and cultural diversity was every bit as large as that of Europeans, and compressing it into a single category has the same problems as compressing all the cultures constituting "white" into a single category. If your connection to your tiny fraction of native ancestry is so insubstantial you can't be more specific than "someone from north or south america", you're unfortunately just not a member of that culture.

Many white Americans are unsatisfied with not having a specific ancestral identity and hence play these games with distant ancestors.
I wasn't keen on Crash 4. I appreciate they were trying to do something different, but whacking up the difficulty and having to scrap the lives system to compensate just felt lazy and disappointing. Striking a reasonable difficulty balance is one of the main challenges in game design and to me, they failed it.

I think Crash 2 was about the sweet spot and what they should aim for. Once you got good, you could sort of flow through the levels smoothly.
Frankly, this article does explains nothing at all. Not the motivation of the conflicting parties in Ukraine, not the ambitions of Russia or the West.

Not saying that the fears of Russian encroachment are invalid at all. While it is Kremlin propaganda to exaggerate the civil war in Ukraine as an attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the current government, it is nonetheless true that there is a conflict. A conflict that began because part of Ukraine was staunchly against free trade with the West. The former government actually did want to associate more with Russia (due to plain cold economic interests of their own industry which would have suffered if trade would not have been restricted, a form of protectionism every country engages in).

Cut short the government was ousted by protesters in Kiev, who wanted a closer association with the West. It was the Maidan protests. People installed a new government which Russia did not see a legitimate because the ousting was against the Ukrainian constitution. The Bush government of the US used the opportunity to get involved and tried to support the new government.

Part of Ukraine denounced the new government too, most importantly the industrial regions dependent on trade with Russia (Donezk & Lugansk mainly). These were the regions that also did not want free trade with the EU.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Donbas

It is of course even far more complicated, I don't understand this conflict fully, but I don't think the author is realistic about it either because it cannot really explain the behavior of the actors involved.

Suggesting or encouraging a nation to join a military alliance while bordering Russia is an act of aggression even if it was suggest by Ukrainians themselves. Compare it to Cuba, even if that won't really fit. We are talking about international politics and reasons for war. I agree that it was Russian actions that might have increased the motivation in Kiev for closer association. That is is the case for a lot of countries bordering Russia.

A peaceful solution is to disassociate Nato from Ukraine and help them to solve their internal conflict politically.

Password history is a feature on Bitwarden. In the browser extension, at the bottom of the entry, you'll have something like:

> The USSR-Afghanistan left an estimated 2 million dead. Nigerian Civil War between 1 and 3 million. France-Algeria War about 1 million. Korean War between 1.5 and 4.5 million dead. Vietnam between 1.3 and 4.5 million. I could go on really.

That's peanuts, really. WW2 killed 70-85 million people, WW3 is projected from killing some 7 billion folks. No war between highly industrialised countries is a big win.
I increasingly worry this division will end in widespread violence in some form of civil war(s). Please change my opinion about this.

> Adoption... Bitcoin has roughly 500K transactions per day with an estimated 80% of them being trades (with an estimated 77% of those trades going through the "big three" exchanges).

Source for this?

Also, all of these transaction numbers are for on-chain transactions. They don't include layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network. Given that the Lightning Network is built for micro-transactions, where sats can literally be streamed to a creator, while someone listens to a podcast for example, it's possible (though impossible to definitively confirm?) that on-chain AND off-chain transactions already exceed credit card services.

You have to understand that Bitcoin (the blockchain network) isn't trying to be a credit card network. It's a settlement layer/clearing house. Traditionally for a transaction to occur with finality would take days, perhaps weeks to occur. When you make a purchase with a credit card that payment isn't occurring with finality in the banking system. It takes days to "lock in". On Bitcoin it takes 10 minutes and is completely automated and trustless.

The Lightning Network (enabled by the SegWit upgrade) allows for payments to occur instantly, with low fees, and can be used for micro-transactions. The tradeoff to that convenience is it's less secure. This is why you would have a Lightning wallet for your day to day usage, and your "savings account" in cold storage on-chain. You would only use on-chain transactions for big purchases, or to open a Lightning channel.

> Globally we're more connected than ever. It's been 13 years - if bitcoin was actually superior for anything other than speculative trading people would be using it for something other than speculative trading.

It literally is, you're just not paying attention. As already mentioned it is being used to stream payments in podcasts as your listen, it is being used in competitive video games, there are gift card services like Bitrefill,

The Lightning Labs blog does a good job of summarizing the state of the Lightning Network.

I use Bitwarden, it's brilliant. But I wish a password manager would figure out a way to fill in passwords where they ask for 1st, 5th, 11th letters like many banks do.

It doesn't need to be automated, if I can tell it which HTML element to read and parse as an index and which text elements to fill in, then that's good enough for me.

Sure. Look no further. The co-founder [0], Aaron Bastani, has a lot to say about Israel (nothing less than onslaught
ofcourse [1]) But according to some of his twitter, we get all that you wanted:

* praising China's "wonderful socialist state" [2] (more like its totalaric structure)

* how ... happy the Chinese are [3]

* defend China's treatment of Uighurs [4] (downplay it a lot)

And after I looked, that one article you gave ([0] in your comment) is the only time they say anything about it, no mentions on their youtube or twitter. Furthermore, in the opening statement of the article, they described what the Uighur experienced as ".. have long faced discrimination". Wow... such strong words for what happend [5]. Brave and not apologetic.

A tip I learned recently: if you see a database with a simple hash with no salt(md5, sha256…) like this, and you want to migrate to a secure password hashing function (bcrypt, argon2…) you don't need to wait for the users to re-login: simply do bcrypt(md5(password)) immediately, and delete the old hashes, and you get higher security.
> games would take half decades to get done

...which is still true today. It's common that large titles take 4+ years in development if they're not built on an existing game's engine and actually release in a finished state. Activision was able to release a new CoD every year because they cycled through 3 studios of which each had 3 years time for a game that's mostly a mod of the previous one with slight improvements to the underlying tech.
And even then it's now almost expected that it'll take another 3+ months to get in a state that the game was meant to be released in.

> only cover a thousandth of the ground current games cover

That may be true if you go back to the Atari era, but even ~30 years old RPGs can still hold up well in terms of content. It's great that now we don't always need publishers to create & ship games and can release updates online, but that's no excuse to sell incomplete products.
Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. For one thing, nobody else has "literally" said that; your comment is the only one Algolia can find with those exact words.

For another, I can't quite see what's not to get; what is it you're not understanding? saalweachter pointed out that "[i]t's amazing to [them] how universal the 'I used to be a non-believer' line is in evangelism" (Further expounded upon in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29948754 ); throwaway98700k simplified to "[i]t’s a dangerous attitude because it has a paternal edge to it"; you asked whether it is dangerous to say that you have changed your mind about something; and I tried to explain that yes, it is, and why. (You might notice that my reply, like your question, was couched in quite general terms: The danger of "conversion" claims in general, without reference to any particular "OP" in this thread.)

But, to explain it again: No, of course OP doesn't indicate that their own opinion carries danger for the audience. (Would you?) That is precisely the danger, that "OP" (assuming you mean poof131) didn't acknowledge that their "conversion" isn't an argument in favour of "conversion", while still mentioning it as if it had something to do with anything (which, as saalweachter explained, tends to carry convincing weight in people's minds even though it logically shouldn't). Sorry, I don't know how to explain it better. Except, perhaps -- did you think this discussion is about whether the "conversion" claim would be "dangerous" to OP himself? That's not it. The danger is that conversion claims tend to persuade people more than they should; the danger of people getting duped into believing things that aren't true just because someone successfully (maybe even unconsciously) uses a rhetorical tactic.

AFAIK, I never claimed OP themselves indicates that their opinion carries danger. That's precisley why I agreed with the posters who did it for them, and spelled it out to you in my GP. Is there anything else in that, that you still don't understand? Besides your misapprehension that I claimed "OP" had said that, I mean (or possibly that the danger mentioned would be to not to "OP" but to the audience)? Which I sincerely hope is (are) thoroughly dispelled by now.

You might be surprised. There are still quite a few 100mbit/s NICs shipped in new things. It would save them a few pennies. Raspberry Pis only got gigabit NICs in 2018 and only usable at gigabit speeds in 2020. Pis are more capable than a lot of smart TVs I've seen.

'Should' implies uncertainty; 'fast enough' implies there's no speed constraints / requirements. This particular bit of code - checking what request type is coming in - will be executed trillions of times across millions of servers across decades; it's the kind of thing you want to be as fast and secure as possible, so it's worth taking away these insecurities and guesses about performance.
It's not the 1/<big number> that annoys people. It's the "claim the heritage because of the results, but otherwise didn't know about it, or have any real relation (demographic, cultural, etc)" part that annoys people.

"Faketoshi" as he's known in the community always finds a new way to NOT be able to prove he has access to the early mined coins. It's honestly comical at this point the different bullshit he comes up with. My favorite so far was finding an existing signature on the blockchain from Satoshi, modifying the data, then publishing the signature with different data in an attempt to claim to be the creator of Bitcoin. Everyone called him out on his bullshit and a few months later he came up with a new scam, which is exactly what he'll do after this attempt fails.

Craig Wright will never sign a message with the original private keys or move the coins in a way that proves his involvement or ownership of the first mined coins. He is a fraud.
Partly true.

If your job is to create or be a "politically acceptable" pretext for an unavoidable decision, then you will have adversaries who will want to discredit you. This means that in order to be effective you have to engage in debates and conflicts.
