… and I’m not convinced. It’s basically claiming that maximization of entropy over all possible paths in a time horizon leads to emergent cooperative behavior in some kinds of simple toy puzzles, but then claiming it as the center of human cognitive behavior is a far stretch.

Aside from the obvious, can someone at least tell me how these claims are rationalized because they make no sense:

1) If the hackers copied and deleted the private keys from his computer

2) Why does Bitcoin SV need to be modified in order for the funds to be accessed

Do people on HN even know why those statements are not reconcilable? Does TheRegister, does the judge? I don't care what Craig Wright knows or thinks, he is a troll regardless, but I'm not even sure if his incoherent claims are something slightly more coherent that everyone else messed up.

Wait, is he saying that because he doesn't have the private keys, he wants the whole Bitcoin SV network modified to give him access to funds in a specific address? lol. okay.

I feel like he could just rent some hashpower to force a confidence breaking change on the network but I guess he wants court approval.

This would be an interesting approach! Not sure how it would work in practice, but it's a fun thought...

And there could be inherent value there, especially as a carbon capture tax credit. Instead of proof of work or proof of state, it's proof of capture. You'd have to put together some kind of distributed capture hardware, but... That's maybe possible with current tech?
Why do we need to go carbon-negative? Because the atmosphere already has too much CO2, and reducing net emissions to 0 means that CO2 will stay there. We've emitted that CO2 in the course of (say) 300 years but need to pull it down in (say) < 50 years, hence we need to pull it down much faster than we emitted it.

Not sure if that answered your question or if you meant something else.
"But everyone does it!" is absolute intellectual laziness at best and outright dishonesty at worst.

No, everybody does most definitely not do this! That is just not true.
> So basically what you’re saying is that you want your “smart” TV experience to be just like a desktop PC experience.

Yeah another way to say it is that I want my smart devices to be general computing devices. For example I've build my own NAS instead of getting something like a Synology or a WD NAS, I'm in the process of building a router/firewall using OPNsense etc.

I spend more in the short term but less in the long term due to the ability to reuse old parts etc.

> Basically smart devices are smart to allow the user to be lazy, dumb or both ;)

ahah yeah I see your point.
I don't see why not, but in that case you're better off using a 10 GbE PCIe ethernet adapter. Cheaper and no internal wiring.
Back in 2008, if you had a FastCGI backend that produced a large body, such as a file download, lighttpd would allocate the same amount of memory and forget to free it afterward. Everything would work fine for a while, but then someone attaches a large file on your busy PHP forum and bam! Your 720MB linode is thrashing like there's no tomorrow.

The proper workaround was to send an X-Sendfile header to instruct lighttpd to fetch the file itself, instead of serving the content directly from the backend. It was also more efficient, but it required changes to backend code that made it less portable. I don't know if the bug was ever fixed as lighttpd development had slowed to a crawl and nginx arrived just in time to take away all the market share.

The introduction of PHP-FPM around the same time was another factor that favored nginx, because lighttpd typically integrated with PHP using a more fragile setup called fcgi-wrapper. PHP-FPM was much nicer to work with, and nginx could even load-balance across FPM pools. A lot of WordPress sites switched to nginx and never looked back.
What happens if siteName changes? What happens if you lose your memory?

Wait was it "TransferWise" or "Transferwise" or "Wise" or "wise" or "transferwise"?

I don't hate the idea, but what happens when you stumble upon a website that does not accept % in passwords, or needs less then 8 characters or one of the other random things that do exist? Then you have an algo for this, and a algo for that, you end up back at the same place.
This industry relies on self-reporting, there's no sky police, so if there's a deviation a report needs to be voluntarily written up and submitted either by the controller or by the pilot. It's customary for pilots to self-report on their deviations whether or not they were requested to do so and I'd assume controllers are supposed to do that as well. I'm guessing this trust is broken every now and then.

The pilots probably weren't aware of the close call so it's not like they're going to tell the controller to write a number down. The controller would probably be the only one that knew and should have written a report about it. But the article is talking about going after the airport authority and the airline, as if the pilots or controllers (the only ones responsible for writing the report) actually did their report but it was ignored and was never escalated properly to the higher authority?
Indeed. The bitcoin maximalists, like the goldbugs, dream of somehow surviving a collapse in which all that breaks down and they are the sole escapees, rather than seriously engaging with the problems and their fellow citizens. Getting their skin out of the game.

In some cases it's trauma-informed; they are, or know, people who really have experienced that kind of social collapse. It happens a lot in South America. People who grew up behind the Iron Curtain legitimately don't trust their governments either.
> even plain vanilla SMS based MFA is better than just a username and password for authentication

I'd be careful with this because a lot of services will allow you to reset your password with just SMS verification once they have your number. So while Password+SMS is stronger in practice this usually becomes Password+SMS OR Customer Support+SMS which is decidedly weaker.
Not even a mention of the issue of bot networks? Is that because they're seen as a very real, if unmentioned, problem? Or is it a pretense that they do not exist and have no impact?

I’ve been using Bitwarden, LastPass and 1Password for the past few years. Of the three, Bitwarden gave me the least problems. LastPass is by far the worst. While 1Password is generally good about keeping up with its features, it is on the pricy side and UI is not great.

I liked Bitwarden so much I asked them if I can pay for it several years in advance. No dice there.

My recommendation is to pair Bitwarden with Yubikey.
> I am not saying git is flawless but most complaints seem to be about the "porcelain" and not its inherent design.

This my line of thinking as well.

Git has a great low-level API that's very powerful and flexible, but the porcelain and the way that we use the remotes (the Hub's and Lab's) could be a lot better. The current way is neither intuitive nor shaped after how most developers want to work (it's hard for beginners to get started, collaborate, and share ideas, etc).

I think the main problem is HDR right? Because I don't think that 4K per se would be an issue? To be fair my TV is not 4K so I haven't tried 4K streaming... Even on my gaming PC I don't have 4K because I preferred to spend on a higher refresh rate 1440p rather than a 4K panel so I really don't have a direct experience.
Okay? I came up with a theory of ham sandwiches, but I’m no chef. (Thousand island dressing is an underrated addition to almost any sandwich.)

Bitwarden is great, I use their paid subscription to manage access to everything. Syncs my passwords, notes and credit card information across my phone and Firefox on many devices.
Only issue I have is the lack of native UI and lack of encrypted notes, which LastPass has.

Every time I read an article like this I just imagine Richard Stallman's face as he smugly says "treacherous computing".
I downloaded this and tried to follow the documentation [0]. `pijul add` doesn't accept wildcards, instead returning a pretty unhelpful error message:

> λ pijul add *.*

> Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (o error 123)

The documentation for add [1] gives no information on the format, however I put 2 and 2 together and managed to do `pijul add . -r`. The next step is `pijul record` [2] which returns another error:

> Error: No identity configured yet. Please use `pijul key` to create one

Ok great. I ran `pijul key` [3] (which isn't documented) which returns 0, with no output. `pijul record` still says the above, so I tried `pijul key --help` which tells me I need to run a _different_ command (`pijul key generate <LOGIN>`) but doens't tell me what `login` is supposed to be. I ran `pijul key generate <my_email>` which appears to have worked, and then `pijul record`.

I actually killed it after an hour and 15 minutes, rather than waiting to see how long it would take. For reference, git add * takes about 3 minutes on the same project. Between the documentation, error messages and performance I can't see myself taking another go at this for a while.

> If you’re having to download multi gigabyte docker layers multiple times, something has gone very wrong

When I worked at Vercel during the days we supported Docker hosting (back when it was still ZEIT), we saw that even among many tenants on the same machine, the "layers" thing wasn't really that beneficial - we still had to fetch a ton of stuff over and over again.

So this is great in theory, but it doesn't really pan out in practice.

Off the top of my head, I wonder if an attacker could probe whether the encryption thread had completed the task, and was merely waiting, by submitting other tasks to the system and timing them. Maybe some sort of busywork to run down the clock would help.

I get the problem with claiming it to sound 'exotic' or whatever - exactly as you mention - this is 'entitlement' to sound special - but -

Thinking differently -

5 generations is also (assuming childbirth at 25 and not carefully auditing for off-by-ones):

1 generation of 1:1 mix, 4 generations ago (b. 1897)

1 generation of 1:2 mix, 3 generations ago (b. 1922)

1 generation of 1:3 mix, 2 generations ago (b. 1947)

1 generation of 1:4 mix, 1 generations ago (b. 1972)

1 generation of 1:5 mix, now. (b. 1997)

In other words - 50% of your parenting influence descends from 4 generations of mixed marriages, and the entire mixed lineage begins approx ~100 years ago where it certainly would be a huge factor in daily life. It's quite
possible that you may have even met the original couple or their immediate children, and very likely that you met or had extended contact with the 25% generation who in turn almost certainly was extremely impacted by the preceding 2 generations.

Pretty sure there is some cultural trace either overtly or in the form of inherited scars.

The reason many mixed don't know much about their fraction is because their ancestors were put in indian schools and married off to anglo settlers or any number of other far worse 'ethnic cleansing' atrocities. Whatever in-depth discussion remained was likely suppressed or downplayed to facilitate assimilation, leaving only hints and impressions behind in the people. At this point there is no way for them to know anything more about their past even if they wanted to.

pretending it's nothing only makes it worse and grows the divide to the past - which itself is a shift away from native views of history and connectedness to ancestors

I remember receiving a bill for 5K from Amazon once. When inspecting I realized that someone had found my keys in a public GitHub repo I had and was using my account to mine bitcoins. Thankfully AWS support was understanding and forgave me that amount.

Other than never exposing keys like that I learned to never hide admin keys and to always create roles specific to the use case. It doesn’t fully protect you but at least it prevents abuse on your behalf.

> I don't think we are harvesting them for transplant organs.

The organ harvesting stuff is not exactly proven:

> According to a unanimous determination by the China Tribunal in May 2020, China has persecuted and medically tested Uyghurs. Its report expressed concerns that Uyghurs were vulnerable to being subject to organ harvesting but did not yet have evidence of its occurrence.[240][241][242][243]

Grant that they're putting them into labor camps and re-educating them, but
harvesting their organs? This is some comic-book villain type stuff. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

> massive project

What project? Do you mean how it reacts against sanctions that try to divide the country, in much the same way as Israel does, or for that matter the U.S. would, if someone were trying to put sanctions on prison labor?

> US is not going to sponsor guerrillas in Xinjiang, under any circumstances.

...because? Because the US loves and values the territorial integrity of China, or what?

> with no repercussions

If so, why are they doing it? For the sake of being evil?
Let's put it another way: having to cast from the phone to the TV is like using a normal screw that requires a screwdriver. A TV where you don't need the phone is like one of those tool-less thumbscrews[1]. They are convenient because in order to use one tool (the screw) you don't have to reach for another tool (the screwdriver).

It seems different to me. To be completely visually (and maybe auditorally) detached from your physical surroundings for hours each day? That's a step beyond working at a desk, even one in a drab office building. Though point taken, being stuck at a cubicle isn't much better than being strapped into a headset.
I have Jellyfin setup and there are times when 3ppl would watch something. My entire collection is the highest quality I can find on the net so normally a movie would be around 80-100GB.

Plus I have a service which downloads stuff for the archive team so that’s always doing some network traffic.

There is also a CI gitlab worker and that is also always doing some build with docker images from scratch.

I just wish more than 1Gbps was something that was offered and I can upgrade but so far I’m limited by my ISP with no way to upgrade. Inside my network I have 10Gbps and I have never hit that limit. It was expensive and I needed it for a now deprecated servicing.

Cool idea!

I'd suggest offering a demo mode that users can play with before they sign up. Requiring an email address before users can see anything is going to dissuade a lot of people.

I think the UX could be improved by guiding the user a little bit through the process. When I first signed in, the first thing it showed me was an email template I'm supposed to send to recruiters, but I'd expect the first step to be showing me how to create my custom questionnaire.

The questionnaire setup is kind of intimidating. There are I think 40+ different toggles and questions on a single page. It seems like some UI controls are irrelevant when other controls are disabled (e.g., I think "Reject if no family friendly policies" has no effect unless the corresponding "Include this question" toggle is disabled, but the UI doesn't make that clear. It might be easier to work with if it was more like a UI wizard where the user is only seeing a few options at a time and they can easily skip categories they don't care about.

The perspective also shifts confusingly in the questionnaire. The first question has options "I'm a recruiter," "I'm the hiring manager," and "I don't care about this." These aren't the same "I" right? Like the recruiter can't answer that they don't care about this question, right?
"The Jedi are inappropriate mascots for social justice... a religious order of intergalactic police-monks, prone to (white) saviorism and toxically masculine approaches to conflict resolution (violent duels with phallic lightsabers, gaslighting by means of “Jedi mind tricks,” etc.)." and it goes on.

It's really really hard not to believe the authors are trolling. Is this parody?

I used to be a magazine editor (trade press) and I can understand the editor's reticence to publish, because the letter is couched as an attack on the magazine, rather than a letter that framed as setting the record straight about the legacy of EO Wilson.

If you are going to write a letter like this don't put this: "Scientific American published a bewilderingly flimsy opinion piece" in sentence 2. Instead write "we strongly disagree with some of the conclusions of your piece".

The whole letter reads like a polemic attack on the editorial department of Scientific American.

It would have been quite possible to have taken the arguments in this piece and written a firm rebuttal that gave an alternative view and set our the weaknesses in the published op-ed - and I suspect it would have been published in its entirety.
The legislation that is relevant here is GDPR which is EU wide (each country has it's own implementation but they should be overall similar).

In the article it points out that there are similar suits across the EU by the same organization, so it's not too unlikely that there will be similar reults in some or all of the cases.
From what I have read, the problem here was that there are two separate tower controllers for the north and south runways; there was a shift change and some kind of confusion over which of the runways was actually operational. The result was that the two tower controllers were not coordinating traffic at all.

EDIT: Kempegowda International Airport is the main airport serving Bangalore, by the way - I noticed the article assumed the reader knows that, and it's probably not general knowledge for the HN audience.
The GBU-57A/B is a conventional (non-nuclear) device, weighing 14,000kg. (Vs. the W76 warhead on a Trident missile is ~100kg.) Conventional bombs can reliably detonate after taking damage (say, from smashing through 61m of earth & concrete) which would utterly ruin the delicate geometries and mechanisms of a nuclear weapon. And for smaller targets (say, the "deep" bunker under somebody's Presidential Palace), the kinetic energy of 14,000kg smashing through the roof (without detonating) has a very good chance of accomplishing the mission.
