First two years in the industry are literally just a stepping stone to greater things. I usually give my mentees the advice that they might as well try out some companies despite red flags because this is the time where you figure out what you don't like so you can figure out what you actually want to look for. This is also your time in the trenches as a junior dev, anyway, so might as well make the most of it!

Every time I hear a "THERMODYNAMICS" argument on carbon capture/retrieval, I die a little inside. Especially since the fundamental assumption is that the earth is a closed system. Considering that the sun provides us an effectively (current and moderate-future) unlimited source of energy, it's perfectly reasonable to spend more energy than was generated, especially if it allows us to mitigate unreliable sources (solar) with on-demand sources.

The question is then, can we spin up sufficient capacity, and can we find a scalable, sufficiently efficient way of capturing said carbon, thus the research into this area.

Nobody is talking perpetual motion here.

I had the impression that Intel owned the assets now.

While the current / last version would be interesting, it would also be useful to have the source for at least one old version - that before it was rebranded FlexOS and was still Concurrent DOS 286.

Specifically so that code for their 286 based DOS VM could be inspected.

Or possibly the version corresponding to the manuals available on BitSavers, as that appears to still have the code present.

What I find interesting about buffer bleeds like Heartbleed (and also Cloudbleed) as memory exploits in general, is that:

1. they surprise everyone by often being mere underflows into an allocated buffer (for example, any buffer where you forget to zero the padding, or where you write to the wrong place leaving another uninitialized) rather than being overflows beyond it (or being logical overflows as in Heartbleed, but not always physical overflows that could be caught by something like a borrow checker—it depends on the bleed, Cloudbleed would have been caught),

2. they let someone read all your sensitive server memory, with no UAF, even in a language with 100% memory safety (e.g. JavaScript, if you're reusing buffers), and finally that

3. they are often caused by simple integer overflow wraparound to 0, where having checked integer arithmetic enabled by default would mitigate the risk, but where this is typically not enabled. The default is typically left unsafe for performance with an opt-in for safety, where I believe it would be better flipped around to checked arithmetic for safety with an opt-out for performance (in the few block scopes where it makes sense—and I find that even in high performance systems there are few places where loops are hot—assuming there's already a clear separation of concerns between control flow and data plane).

And today there all kinds of software systems that still have these vulnerabilities. For example, around 2019, I worked on some static analysis security software that could often detect bleeds automatically in outgoing email attachments and it would find more than one different banking system leaking data in autogenerated statements. The problem is everywhere: think popular file formats that people exchange and you can probably find a major codec with a bleed.

Finally, it's just such an epic post by Wheeler (he's done another great one on potential filename exploits) with so many insights into testing:

"Fuzzers make things go wrong. Assertions make sure we find out." — Jesse Ruderman

Many of the static techniques for countering Heartbleed-like defects, including manual review, were thwarted because the OpenSSL code is just too complex. Code that is security-sensitive needs to be “as simple as possible”.

In most cases only negative tests, not positive tests, have any value for security. As I noted earlier, what matters about test suites is how you create them. This is probably obvious to many readers of this paper. In particular, I suspect Eric S. Raymond is including these kinds of tests when he discusses the advantages of testing. However, this is not obvious to many software developers. All too many developers and organizations only use a mostly-positive test suite instead. Many developers find it very difficult to think like an attacker, and simply fail to consider widespread testing of inputs that “should not happen”.
No, that would be severe and encroaching mass surveillance that undermines trust and sense.

Indeed, but it should be made clear that these kinds of reads aren't necessarily (or likely) coming from physical appearances alone - there's all sorts of metadata to consider. For example, in the Dwan hand, the timing of Eastgate's call on the flop tipped his relative hand strength, showing that he had a very strong hand but also capping his range. A hand weaker than trips would have deliberated between folding and calling, and a hand stronger than trips with a weak kicker would have likely paused to consider raising. Of course, savvy players can fake these timing tells, but Dwan also knew that Eastgate was out of his depth (a tournament player making a charity appearance on a televised cash game because he'd just won the WSOPME and had yolo money), so he was unlikely to be doing this - more situational metadata.
Yes!

The project is called Larynx, and it is amazing: https://github.com/rhasspy/larynx/

I waxed lyrical about it recently in this thread about private alternatives to Alexa: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29562526

I can only vouch for the quality/variety in English but it does note support for 50 voices over 9 languages, including all the first group of languages you mentioned, and also Russian. (I've "played" with all those languages to test them but can't really vouch for how a native speaker/listener might find it. :D )

It is miles ahead of any of the other Free/Open Source TTS solutions I've tried, including the ones you mentioned.

(It's still synthesized speech but the output quality is so good and the project is still extremely early days.)

And there's a range of options in accent & gender--which are in general sorely lacking in other FLOSS TTS options. (In terms of licensing, some voices are licensed more freely than others but the majority are without significant restriction.)

I like Larynx so much that I've been working on an editor for it to assist in "auditioning" & recording speech in a narrative context, e.g. game/film pre-viz.

GitFlow Considered Harmful
The spike protein doesn't cause lethal damage — if you want an analogy, the spike protein jimmies your front door and then the rest of the virus goes on a rampage. The rest of the virus is really dangerous, but if it doesn't get through the door there's no problem.

Don't read too much into those statistics. Different populations behave differently, are tested differently, and affected differently by the disease. If you don't know the policy, forming any conclusions from the statistics is very unreliable. In the case of Denmark, the current policy barely even tries to slow down omicron's spread through the unvaccinated part of the population. Of course the statistics will reflect that.
That's really sad. When VR works, your brain totally believes the illusion. I hope better screens and hardware makes it accessible to more people.

Well this is shocking, speaking ill of the dead like this.

It seems there's some secret list of things you're allowed to attack prominent dead scientists about.

Anyone got a copy of that list?

Can I also add that if one of your prominent motifs in your environmentalism is "certain people in specific areas of the globe should have less babies" then it's maybe not the great defence against charges of racism that you might think it is.

As a minor but relevant nit, it's very strange that the C code you're quoting uses int64_t as the type for the timestamp.

The Intel code in the linked paper does not, it uses uint64_t but that was somehow changed when the code was transcribed. Also the clobbers mentioned in the paper are missing, which is suspicious.

The paper has a lot of analysis and includes better implementations, using cpuid and/or the rdtscp instruction.

I've got the Index, there was definitely some acclimatisation required to dampen the motion sickness (especially for free movement) but for the most part I've had a great experience with it. Half-Life Alyx is an incredible game, although I would like to see more narrative/story driven games for VR. There are a lot of arcade games that are fun to pick up now and again (Beat Saber, Robo Recall), and shooters like Pavlov are great fun to play online
I find these comparisons unhelpful.

What happened in China during the Cultural Revolution is on such a different level of awfulness it just isn't even the tiniest bit comparable to anything controversial or problematic happening in West right now. Even today what is happening in China, and even the freer parts like Hong Kong, is still far removed from issues in the West. Even as a "thin end of the wedge" argument it's just weak.

It hurts legitimate and necessary criticism of actual authoritarian countries and it hurts legitimate and necessary criticism of real issues (such as that raised in the article above) in free, Western countries.
> I'm not sure if bcrypt/blowfish is still the recommended algorithm or there's newer better ones

While bcrypt is already much, much better than using MD5 or SHA256, the best practice is to use Argon2.

In practice, it is more important to use a hashing algorithm that is designed for passwords (e.g. bcrypt, argon2, scrypt) than it is to choose the best one. As this breach shows, many sites are still using insecure hashes, like MD5, because it worked 15 years ago.
I realize there is a mathematical definition of "clear its orbit" which produces the desired conclusion.

However, I happened to be reading about Lagrange points and how objects cluster in the L4 and L5 points and I said to myself "...waaaaait a second, all those planets with Trojan asteroids haven't cleared their orbits in the plain English meaning of the phrase!"

Including Earth, Mars, Jupiter...

You can't prove a definition wrong, but you can make fun of it.

I think virtual tourism is another likely use case. I've got the original Quest and I'm currently addicted to the Wander app, which is basically just Google Street View in VR. It's not even that immersive but I can still "stroll" around places off the beaten path as it were for hours.
Looking at the gallium trioxide reduction, it seems that you can first reduce it to Ga2O with Hydrogen (water as byproduct),

Gallium suboxide then decomposes into it's components at temperatures above 500 C.

Feasibility of this is an exercise to the reader (I have no clue).
They could not do that from the start, but they did, because they planned larger sales. Whether it turns out to be more profitable is their risk, not users. The important change is that people can't have an expectation (a risk) anymore which would turn out to be false a month after. Inability is a much, much lesser issue than a broken expectation.

I've only ever interacted with it after account setup year ago via a rpi running Kodi which automatically downloads subtitles now and then, unless specifically searching for different versions barely remember it exists.

Fortunately, I’m married and no longer need to date, but everything I read about dating today suggest that online/app-mediated dating has become so dominant that old style “meet in a bar” scenarios are essentially no longer much of a thing. If true, this would be an example of technology removing previous non-technology options, even though nobody is mandating it.

I wonder, if VR ever gets good enough, is there a future like the dystopian sci-fi stories where everyone stays strapped to their Facebook-mediated realities and nobody goes outside to walk in the park anymore? How good does VR have to get?

Even before the pandemic our local playgrounds were empty (kids are all staying home playing Roblox and Minecraft).
I hate the guardian so much. They can phrase ideas that I agree with in the most irritating way possible. Perhaps I should put that hate to good use?

On HN, apparently. See the recent thread on Wordle.

The reality is likely to be: they make a very small amount from ads and user donations that might, if they're lucky, cover the costs of hosting. The warez scene is a subculture and community for the people who participate in it.

It is depressing that HN participants are so often mystified by the idea people might be motivated by intrinsic or social factors to engage in peer-based production (whether legal or not) when so many of the companies they run or work for exist only because of peer-based production efforts like Linux and other FOSS software.

This is breaking news, and not yet confirmed. And yet everyone even slightly tech-related in Israel is currently talking about this. It even sparked intense arguments in some security related forums that I shall not name. To say "nobody really seems to care at all" is just ignorant.
Well, in that case you've got to make adjustments to your setup (wrong IPD maybe?), or you could just be unlucky and get sick far too easily.

Consumer VR of course involves a disconnect between what you feel and what you see, and that makes people sick when it gets bad enough, but most people can enjoy at least some VR experiences.

By my account, I've managed to spend days of real time within Subnautica exclusively in VR.

If you get sick, what I'd recommend is something like Beat Saber, where you're never moved without physically moving in reality. If that doesn't work something is definitely wrong. The next easiest experience is cockpit simulations. I'd say Subnautica comes somewhere after that, being in the intermediate range.

The worst I've personally tried is Half Life 2 in VR (as in, HL2 just rendering to VR without further changes), and that is indeed not a nice experience because the FPS mechanics just don't work in VR. The acceleration, the need to constantly rotate your view without moving in reality, the need to make very quick and frequent changes in direction are all very hard to tolerate.

> I get the physical games like table tenis and beat saber, but how is this not a fad?

Who cares? What matters if it's fun or not. I enjoy the exercise, I don't do it to fit in. And it's surprisingly good exercise. I lift weights, and Racket NX still is capable of making my arms sore. Then I suppose I have a rather violent play style.

They can't even dispose of their own territory, given that Israel builds settlements inside the West Bank. Gaza is totally closed off to the World: Israel decides what comes in or out.

It can be argued, therefore, that Israel is de facto the state.

How, does planet Earth move through the Universe?
No, because you can never get more out of it than you put in.

You can however, use it as a form of storage if you get sufficiently good efficiency.
You can segfault in rust, too:

fn totally_safe() -> i32 {
unsafe { *std::ptr::null() }
}

This commonly happens if the person who wrote 'totally safe' thinks what they're doing is fine, and it actually isn't.

Even 100GbE is hardly seen on company datacenters. Yes, it's cheaper than before, but still more expensive than 10G, and that's extra cost multiplied by all the devices that need to have the improved hardware to take advantage. Plus, most servers won't saturate a 10G link without tweaks on the setup. For 100G it's even worse, I think it will take a long time to see them on datacenters outside of core links or for companies with heavy bandwidth use (storage, video).
That's the point though? You use carbon-capture as energy storage (when you have excess clean energy), and you can release CO2 when you don't have enough clean energy. In an idealized process, you basically produce coal as a form of "energy storage".

But then why bother burning the coal in the first place? If you can get energy from the sun/fusion/fission/wind/whatever then you don’t need to burn coal!

If you just want to remove CO2 from the air, there are much better ways than “un-burning” it.
I should have been more clearer. I can understand running a hobby site to chat with fellow hobbyists which is a motivation for socializing. In this case its pretty much static. I fail to understand the motivation.
Some say that the reason for demoting Pluto was to avoid admitting Eris to the club of planets while pretending to be consistent. The "clearing your orbit" thing was more of a cover story.

It's possible that Eris took it as a snub. There certainly seems to be a lot of chaos recently.

The SciAm article blows my mind. Seven occurrences of the word 'problematic' in 11 paragraphs.

Reminded of their reading of a (fiction) Wilson book decades ago, and inspired by something else, the author wrote essentially a three-message Twitter thread, tacked on a few decorative sentences, and was published. Next to no research, no review of the literature, no consultation with relevant scholars. A bit like this comment, but given the blessing of a national science magazine.

Further examination reveals the SciAm article's author had a previous publication in SciAm on a public health topic. Can someone use "nepotism" in a sentence?
Seems that the problem is the hardware, not the software then.
