Lol that you think markets are free. Regulation exists in swathes. Free market economics is a lie, its never existed.
When is the library of congress going to wake up and realize that some sites needed preserving digitally with the resources of the US government? Why does Internet Archive have to be the main driver of things like this?

We KNOW (I mean, wow do we know) that the US government has copies of practically everything since... decades ago. Probably multiple copies in separate intelligence agencies and the like.

Or at least fund something like Internet Archive with the best semipermanence that the government is offering. Certainly it is worth one boondoggle F-35 jet per year.

Then again I'm mystifyied why various agencies aren't funding Haiku/Beos, OpenBSD, and linux to the tune of a billion dollars a year just for secure computing reasons alone.

I had a quick read of the paper and I think I got about 10% of the content - which is better than my usual average. My take-away - linear types allow you to express conditions such as this function must not be called with an empty list - QTT types extend linear types and allow you to specify run time dependencies between functions in the type system. I got the rough idea of being able to express a state machine in the type system - gives you the ability to say that this function can only be called in this state - to enter the state, these functions must be called in this order. How did I do ? Is that the rough gist of the paper ?
Yes. He chose to design his system with no ability to migrate and use a hash algorithm that was already known to be flawed.

I don't think this is right at all.

I've been in several long term committed relationships. I still randomly get feelings for female friends of mine. I don't think it has to do with anything the poster above is saying. It just can happen regardless.
Some of the newer formulations aren't half bad. Starting with Coke Zero, but now things like Dr Pepper and Pepsi have 'Zero' versions that are surprisingly good. I haven't dug into what they changed to make it work. The bottle of Pepsi Zero sitting in front of me says it still uses aspartame, but it doesn't have that bitter aftertaste I've come to associate with anything sweetened with aspartame.
Yeah, likely - I've answered a few tickets here and there :)
Wordle is a language puzzle game which has gained a lot of popularity quite quickly. The rules are very simple, yet allow for quite a lot of strategy. There are many articles about its rise to fame.
The official website [1] has a single puzzle per day which everyone shares, but there are many clones which have variations, or unlimited games.

No it's not. Ok, so you think the world is coming to an end any moment now. What do you do about investing? You let someone else invest it for you and open an investment account where you deposit a regular monthly amount into it that invests in an index fund. You never have to decide where your money goes. With an index fund you are basically betting that the market will survive at least until you need the money.

If things go well then the money will grow even if it's just to reflect inflation. If the world falls apart then it won't matter since money will have no value -- even if you have millions.
Those should be pretty easy, provided you do it now. Domain transfers are straightforward with any provider. I moved mine to Namecheap a few years ago.

Where's the element of PLAY in this? What about FUN? When you mention "my whole life" - does that include when you were South Park age (5th grade?)

For me, it's all improv and it's a fun game. I seek out the opportunities to play it. It's "yes, and" as you pass the ball back and forth in conversation.

Some do better with this than others. For some, conversation might be totally a status game or some other motive involved. For most people, it's good to simply excuse yourself and move on. I'll often LARP along, but subtly parody the situation, to grind down the seriousness.

In bars, I can "take the piss" or "bust your balls" with the best of them. If you haven't heard those terms, it's basically banter, but with different terms for people from different regions. Again, it's all improv and adaptation to the person / group.

I find that groups are the best, but they are hard to find. You can't just form a group, and they won't last forever. It's a bit of a spontaneous thing. But once you find a good one, it's better than any individual friendship. Maybe the bonds are strengthened by a sense of shared comraderies within a group that you don't get from an individual friendship.

In any case, you have to get out in a search for some shared fun.
A browser environment designed for researching is something I've been investigating lately. I want to stay with Chromium for convenience (Chrome for work, ungoogled-chromium for personal). Right now I see two paths that might work for me:

- A standalone browser that I use only for research purposes. Currently evaluating Bonsai [1] and am interested in Synth.

- A suite of tools that makes bookmarking and organizing easier when used alongside Chrome. Currently, I pay for Raindrop [2] to manage bookmarks, most likely will pay for Slapdash [3] for indexing, and am evaluating Heyday [4].

For an end-user like me, I would much rather pay for an extension+SaaS for Chrome or Firefox, rather than deal with workarounds for browser incompatibility.

That's a misnomer and I'm glad it's already getting fixed in some places: the newer, better word is "eager".

This frees up "strict".
Google has a good Yubikey implementation (they allow multiple keys), Amazon and PayPal are 100% crap implementations.

I had a website with probably 10K monthly active users go down for a week because I was travelling with a different Yubikey and AWS only allows 1 Yubikey to be registered.

I've also had PayPal payments have to be delayed until I got back home because of the same reason, they only allow 1 Yubikey.

Horrible quality products.

Kind of unrelated to the whole Google thing, but this Synth browser is a really cool idea. I'll read more into it when I get the chance!
The Second Amendment isn't like other amendments. It's deeply and intrinsically embedded in the cultural and political identity of half the country, which makes the 2/3rds majority required to even hold a Constitutional Convention impossible, because those states will never vote to touch the Second Amendment. It has a multi-million dollar industrial lobby, all of the police, all of the military, and one of two effective political parties behind it. It's written in such a way that it justifies itself as existentially necessary, so that even attempting to amend or repeal it legally is certain to lead to civil war - a war millions of Americans have been stockpiling arms in anticipation of ever since the last one ended. Any Senator or Congressperson bringing it up is committing career suicide, and should they succeed, they'll have to spend the rest of their life avoiding open windows.

And then there's the problem of what to do with all of the guns already in the country. No one is confiscating them without a fight, regardless of what the law says.

So yes, it's technically possible in the same way open-heart surgery on yourself with a ballpoint pen is technically possible. Practically speaking, though, it means a lot of pain and a lot of bloodshed, and it's easier to regulate around it because at least then the US doesn't turn into Northern Ireland.
> Are there cases where the benchmark doesn't hold true? Different architectures?

Yes, that 5x figure represents a big speedup that comes from using SIMD (specifically AVX-512) to compress multiple blocks in parallel. To take full advantage of AVX-512, BLAKE3 needs to have at least 16 KiB of input. So for any input shorter than that, the speedup compared to BLAKE2b/s will be smaller. For inputs less than 2 KiB, the only speedup is the ~1.4x that you get from the round reduction.

Architectures other than x86 tend to have less in the way of SIMD. ARM has NEON, but that's currently only 128 bits wide. So the big single-threaded speedups are only on x86 today. (For multithreading speedups, the architecture doesn't matter as much. Just the number of cores you have.)

> I'm inclined to use this on some less security sensitive things I need a hash for.

This makes sense insofar as BLAKE3 is a new design, and it pays for cryptographic applications to be conservative. But to be clear, if BLAKE3 turns out not to uphold the same security properties as SHA-2 or BLAKE2s, that would represent a catastrophic failure of the design. (It's possible that some flaw could be discovered that affects BLAKE2 and BLAKE3 equally, but that the lower round count of BLAKE3 would make the flaw more severe. In that case, I'd expect everyone would also want to migrate off BLAKE2 pretty quickly anyway.)
Correct. In fact, thousands of plural words are allowed as guesses, but the solution will never be plural. Source: I grep'd the lists of solutions and authorized guesses.
You can use various P2P technologies, but those can be flaky depending on the network / firewalls of your customers.
Grade 12 special projects. All on Ataris (400s and 800s).

My partner and I made Monty Pythons Flying Quadratic Equation Solver. The hardest part was synchronizing the program delays with the music on the cassette.

Two of our friends went full PEEK/POKE and made a periodic table that could be scrolled with the joystick; pressing button brought up a screen of info on the selected element.

That was cool. And eye opening.
Hey! Don't say you aren't a real programmer! I learnt how to program in my spare time at an industrial site, using Excel! Excel runs the world, and a few years ago I got a programming contract because I had that VBA knowledge! That same company was so impressed that I eventually got a full time job with them. I am still a full time programmer to this day. So, keep working at it! Excel is real programming and javascript definitely is.

For your problem though, I just copy pasted the entire list into a new file to use. If you want to use my file, its in my repo in the article under the path ./lib/words.py!

You are a real programmer!!!
Certainly if we can squeeze a few billion more people on the planet this problem will be easier to solve.
If most of the "power supply circuitry" can be stripped without much obvious harm, why isn't it more often? More "thinking" tissue with less support tissue could give clear advantages.

OTOH if the supporting tissue id not excessive, what are the circumstances when it's important? Will this person have hard time holding breath without fainting? Fasting without fainting? Act well under a high prolonged intellectual load?
I did this! Kind of. I bought a domain and was lucky enough to get in to a custom domain email (and more) service with a big company years ago when they had a free version.

Unfortunately... it was Google (so kind of hiring the wolf to care for my sheep, as it turns out).

And now they're cutting off all of us free tier folks. Which I can't fault them for, but still blame them for. Because I'm petty and entitled or whatever.
Sure, yet, it depends on what you are doing.

One of the primary motivations for using a RAM disk was to not beat-up SSD's with the kind of access swap space gets.

The advantage of a hardware RAM-based drive is that it is extremely fast. When these machines were built, this was the fastest way to get data on and off a swap drive.

Today SSD's are super fast. On some machines we now have a separate dedicated 250 GB SSD for swap. If it craps out, you throw it away and pop in a new one. No worries about comingling valuable data with swap space.
The crystallized 100 validator set has concerned me, and has caused me to presently not run a validator to learn. I was unaware of frequent reorgs.
Ask HN: How Do You Budget?
My wife and I had a baby about two years ago, and ever since have found it hard to budget. We’ve tried YNAB, Excel, Truebill, and I feel like I spend a lot of time doing paperwork and don’t get much out of it.

Same sort of problem. I have an account like that which was giving these messages and after trying a lot of things over few weeks I gave up.

Some long time later (year+) I retried and got in. I attempted to change the security settings, but it wouldn’t let me.

Some long time later again, I’m now locked out again.

This whole thing is ridiculous. I know the password, and have access to the account to which it forwards all emails. It should be obvious that their is no IP address which regularly uses this account, and that they are clearly locking out the account owner for no good reason.
Proposal to replace link with this one
Regarding the concept in general, since it's just a screen with i/o you can't inspect its client-side code (the UI) nor what it does with your user input - but that can be more of a benefit for infosec reasons if you were to deploy this as an alternative to something like browser isolation[0] where you simply see what a remote browser sees without being able to inspect the contents of the page nor inject code.

But that's not what the argument seems to be however, discounting even the opportunity cost. People are saying (I don't have experience as a PhD to know myself) that a PhD is not only lower in opportunity cost but also in getting a job as a dev, as some places look down on PhDs as "overqualified."

I definitely think there needs to be some kind of sea change for this kind of tool to really have an impact. I fret that there's not enough middle-brow interest in tech & computers for even the best designed, most capable user-scripter (like Huginn or Node-RED) to become truly high impact. Developers tend to find a lot of value add versus deploying whatever industrial ops practices they know. So whose left to support & nurture these interesting vanguards, these more comprehensively-built & user-focused computing environments?

And reciprocally getting started with a project like this is somewhat daunting for the newcomer, while at the same time they're bombarded by far more options & places to get started in computing than they can handle. I think most folk kind of swear off involvement, don't have a way to casually check out a couple random computing attempts easily, dabble & sample. Computing rebuffs interest, alas.

I still believe in change. The dis-interest in computing is obvious & clear to me today, because most computing is back on shitty mainframes (cloud) in places we can't see or poke at (apps, cloud). Trying to better merge the developers back into the folk would help a lot. But real wins are needed broadly to tell users they're wanted on the other side, to make exploration fun and cool again.
I'm sincerely curious what lead you to leave this comment.
That's more for sending email. There's two APIs for sending: SMTP and JMAP. Both work completely fine, and have the same overall sending rate limits.

We (Fastmail) are set up for human-to-human emails rather than bulk mailing, so if you try to do bulk mailing you're likely to hit limits and possibly terms of service issues - if you're trying to do the kind of thing that people use mailgun for, then I'd recommend using something like mailgun instead!
Same thing happens to me when I take a long time off. The alcohol doesn’t really affect me, it’s just like a dullness. And then I always feel subpar the next day. Such a waste.
>Server side render everything

>http://amazon.com is server side rendered and has no client side rendering framework. The potential latency hit didn't justify it.

>We were stuck with jQuery 1.6.4 Grimacing face

>SSR React wasn't fast enough for us. This blew my mind.

While SSR has gotten some more support in the past 1-2 years, This is not going to sit well with majority of HN crowds.

One thing I really want to see is some sort of predictable latency rendering. Every page should render at fixed predetermined timing regardless latency ( Subject to Network latency difference so everyone would have different value ) . I dont like webpage that some times load so fast it felt it is punching me to the face while some links of it takes 3s to load.
To clarify, these scores can be sanely used to decide what level of trust you have, and when you have none you get a capcha, a SMS check or something heavier to authorize the access you are trying to get.

In my book you’re never supposed to fully block a session because of the score, there needs to be a (potentially burdensome) way to prove the score wrong. Blocking a browser should be out of question.
AFAIK There's nothing wrong with doing so. The comment was on topic, and the project is interesting.

One of the most discussed projects on HN in the past year or so has been GPT-3 which is (was?) pretty hard to get access to.
I'm honestly surprised it's not higher than an overall average below -100, though if one looks at a narrower range and those spikes that bring the local noise floor to -80 in a few specific frequencies, it's definitely noisy.
This is Ireland, not the US. Omicron didn’t really produce a spike in deaths here; they’ve been at about 7-10 a day since October (25%-33% US rates). Notably, our vaccination and booster rate is much higher than the US, and virtually all over 65s have at least two doses.

No. Most Intel CPUs lack SHA-NI extensions. It looks like they may have finally started adding it to their 2020+ mainstream CPUs, but for a long time it was only present on their low-end Atom and similar CPUs. AMD CPUs have all had SHA-NI support since Zen.

Hit this over XMas. Dad got a new fire stick. Wanted to use the YouTube app. Wanted to sign in to YouTube for channel subscriptions. Had a GMail account he'd not used in years. Tried to recover it with the whole send-a-code-to-secondary-email rigmarole. Google went to the trouble of sending a code, but upon successful entry decided that it just wasn't good enough. Maddening. Gmail account gone forever. Can't sign up for a new one because "phone number used too many times". Fuck me I guess, guess we'll have to use one of the unofficial YouTube apps that do client-side subscriptions and incidentally block ads.

I think the main problem with many people isn't so much the archive of email that they would lose from not using GMail anymore, it's the many years of accounts that are authenticated with it. There are literally hundreds of services I have that are registered to that e-mail address now.
I had this happen as well about 8 years ago. My Gmail account one day just said it couldn't log me in, even though my password was correct, and I was logging in from the same home address and browser as always. It said I needed to complete the security question to access my account. I didn't know the answer because I just set random letters and numbers for the security answer when configuring the account recovery, because I was confident in my password and backup system. Since I couldn't answer that question, and because Google has no support, I could never access that account again while knowing the password.

Fortunately this was a secondary email address, and my primary email was on my own domain.
