Finally! I’m a big fan of Python, but I hope they remove ALL Python from the OS itself. I’ve spent many hours over the years messing with setups to resolve bugs caused by python scripts picking up the Mac OS python install rather than the user-installed version. They really shouldn’t be bundling any Python version with the OS - the user should choose the versions installed. It’s much cleaner that way.
I have many future ideas for this. I wrote it out of boredom and a desire to do something "low level"-ish and parsing DHCP packets seemed like a fun example.

All this exercise has taught me is how nothing is ever simple and that specs can get really, really long over time. And also DHCP relays... Maybe one day I will support those.

In the long run: I wanna build a single binary to run the internet from my pi configured by a YAML file. This will do things like PPP connections and use the netlink kernel modules in Linux to setup routing and firewall rules.

But that's a ways off, for now, this is busy running my home network and some feedback is always appreciated
Can we stop with the "in 2022" headlines?
The systemn I work with, AMBER, explains how individual classical terms are derived: https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial1/section1.ht... which appears te be MP2/6-31g* (sorry, I never delved deeply into the QM parts). Once those terms are derived, along with various approximated charges (classical fields usually just treat any charge as point-centered on the nucleus, which isn't great for stuff like polarizable bonds), everything is purely classical springs and dihedrals and interatomic potentials based on distance.

I am more than happy to use "ab initio" purely for QM, but unfortunately the term is used widely in protein folding and structure prediction. I've talked exdtensively with David Baker and John Moulton to get them to stop, but they won't.
Can someone comment on the legality of a 3rd party providing an unauthorized implemention of the CUDA API?

I would think that Oracle's loss of a similar lawsuit with Java would be related.
> Classical mechanics is not something sacred. It is our first serious model of physics.

Just a sidenote: it is at most our second serious model. Aristotle's Physics has a bad rap, but it's "a correct and non-intuitive approximation of Newtonian physics in the suitable domain (motion in fluids), in the same technical sense in which Newton theory is an approximation of Einstein's theory". See "Aristotle's Physics: a Physicist's Look" by Carlo Rovelli (https://arxiv.org/abs/1312.4057).
Tldr; You can't, ever.
It’s bundled with Xcode.
Masks aren't useless, which is pretty obvious to anyone who thinks about the physics of an airborne pathogen for a few minutes.

Research demonstrates the same thing.

Why would anyone spend billions and billions on field hospitals when there's an easily available vaccine that prevents all of this? No one expected the uptake to be so bad. I mean even T**p is telling people to get their boosters.
> I wonder how many of the subjects made it through the war alive.

Those D-Day soldiers, especially.

WWII photos are among most harrowing and iconic images in human history.

The technology is right on the line between old and modern. You can easily imagine yourself there with the tinny radios and the smell oil and grease. The planes and ships look scrappy, like they could easily be blown apart. Cranked out in volume to overpower the enemy, or at least have a few survive.

And then there's the suffering of people in the concentration camps, people who've had their cities bombed. Their faces tell you everything.

The sense of foreboding is palpable.
Of the $1.2 trillion, less than half ($550 billion) is even intended for infrastructure at all. Of the $550 billion, only $110 billion is for actual roads, bridges, and major infrastructure projects. That we have to spend $1.2 trillion to get $110 billion in possible improvements is exactly why our infrastructure is in terrible shape, and still will be in terrible shape after this grift is distributed. The infrastructure bill just highlights the problem, and puts us further into debt.

Ok, so you answered you own question. Ivermectin would not even be in the conversation in the United States if cynical right wing partisans and right wing media apparatus were not keeping it there for short term political gain at the expense of peoples’ lives. So it’s important to forcefully address their misleading statements and innuendo about the drug.
I forget the exact model, but the manufacturer told some guy who owned a hybrid he needed a new battery. The cars on board diagnostic was saying the battery had no remaining capacity.

He carefully disassembled it, cleaned all the internal junctions, put it back together and the car worked fine afterwards.

Where do you live that your government requires you to pay for those specifically? Those all come out of general taxes. The closest equivalent would be gas taxes, but that only covers a portion of road costs.
I would love to see more studies and research. But unfortunately there seems to be somewhat of "science hesitancy" for certain therapeutics.
> But… tell China this same argument. That they should not protect their self interest and see how well it goes over.

Note that my argument is one of prioritization -- to protect our self-interest, we have a lot more pressing problems at home than Intel et al losing a few bucks because they let the wrong people see the secret formula, and wasting precious human and financial resources on the wrong problems can be worse than doing nothing.

As you mention, China on the other hand can afford to worry about problems like this, given their 0.7% poverty rate as of 2015 (despite some glaring issues like ethnic genocide, free speech, etc). In the U.S. we have an 11% poverty rate and nearly a million dead from COVID. We don't have time or resources to play the secret formula game with walkie-talkies in tree forts. Gotta do our homework pretty soon or it will be bed with no supper.
https://news.yahoo.com/suicide-hotline-data-echoes-silicon-0...

"Crisis Text Line is not the only nonprofit support line that collects and shares data as part of its operations. For example, the Trevor Project, a 23-year-old group that provides suicide prevention services to young LGBTQ people, discloses that it passes along users' information to third parties like Meta and Google for targeting of online ads or other purposes, and the content of their conversations to partners for research."

This is a pretty grim article, but it sort of puts into perspective on who stands to benefit from these policies (namely tech workers and the companies they work from, as well as the non profit managers)
Everybody else looks at your social media profiles when it comes to decisions such as hiring, dating, etc. It's public information and the police have the same information the rest of us.

I was running a blog for the Tompkins County Green Party in the run up of the 2nd gulf war. I was covering protests frequently and wasn't offended at all when the local sheriff's department signed up for our mailing list.

It is a social problem, however, that people are leaving such a public trail. You see people doing really shameful things on TikTok, people boasting about alcohol-fueled antics on Facebook, etc.

One time I encountered a person who'd left about 10 hours of audio and video recording online, none of it shameful, documenting their childhood, education, relationships, and career. It created an awkward situation. I didn't know that much about this person but I knew too much. That person would 'disclose' things about themself that I already knew. Probably I should have come clean that I'd done this research but instead I fed back less than 5% of the information that I knew indirectly, knowing I'd really have trouble if I fed back any more.

As it was this caused that person a great deal of distress. Certainly I have some blame for how I used this information but, on the other hand, when people post huge amounts of information about themselves other people are going to look at it and it's going to have consequences.
> Samsung TVs on sale at 100% off at your local Target doesn't have the same moral weight to it

I kinda disagree with this. If it were a local retailer run by your neighbors, you’d be absolutely correct. But if you’re talking about Target, you’re now in the territory of a system of economic oppression where money is siphoned out of local communities by large multinational corporations and the actual residents have no ownership over anything. During the 2020 riots, there were definitely some people trying to make the point, “we have no ownership of our own neighborhoods.”

I can see many people, especially black Americans, feeling all but imprisoned by the fact that they can’t afford to own property, can’t run the businesses that serve their community and are at the mercy of white people who move in and gentrify the neighborhoods forcing them to find new, less desirable places to live. The police who are the immediate focus of protests become merely the jailers in a systemic prison of which Target and other large retailers play a huge part.
Hey James, this is a really cool idea. I don't think HN is really your target audience, but early CS students sure are. I could have seen a teacher using this in Highschool or early college. It seems like a great way to practice base conversion. Thanks for sharing.

The vanilla 68000 can definitely use an MMU.

I think you're conflating "can handle a general fault" and "does address translation". Some PDP-11s ran Unix just fine with MMUs that didn't generate page faults (they just did address translation and bounds checking). You can even do fault handling on the 68000 if you're willing to limit it to instructions that are known to work or that you can throw away (e.g., XOR, which is what Sun used for its stack probes).

I designed an MMU for the 68000-based Atari ST (it did translation and bounds checking in an interesting way), and we implemented it in the silicon. A Unix for it never happened, unfortunately. https://dadhacker-125488.ingress-alpha.easywp.com/how-the-at...

Could you please omit swipes from your comments here? You're making a good point and the swipe spoils it.

On HN, we want curious conversation in which people are thoughtful and respectful toward each other. The idea is to collaborate in figuring out the truth together. I know it often seems like other people don't care about that, but a lot of this is an artifact of the medium, because internet comments lack the out-of-band signals that we normally rely on to evaluate other people's intentions.

Also, it's easy to perceive (and/or imagine) bad faith in others, and difficult to perceive the equivalent in oneself. Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
You leave out that even if software A itself doesn't change

1. The OS and hardware under it can change and lead to new vulnerabilities.

2. Dependencies of Software A can change, which can lead to new vulnerabilities in Software A.

3. It's easier to find more and more vulnerabilities on a target that does no longer move. And once they are found there will be fewer experts to detect/fix/report it as time goes on.
It's an SEO thing.

"Ivermectin is hawked as a COVID miracle cure within right wing circles"

Might it have anything to do with the recovery rate of patients treated by frontline doctors who prescribe it (amongst other medicines), their patients are staying off ventilators and not, you know, dying? That's a huge observation and should be incorporated into the body of clinical medicine, without politics involved.

There are usually loud (angry) folks.

The actual surveys that come out often show some of these big companies are trusted MORE than govt. Ie, folks (even the yellers) might not actually trust govt with their email accounts, but would put a lot of personal email through google.

But yeah, talk about a headline designed to wind folks up.
Well, maybe you succeeded, and if so good for you. In my experience, unfollowing does almost nothing.

My problem was not especially "ideological" people as much as "concerned" people. For example I followed a brilliant young French doctor who was usually entertaining, but who's incensed by all the antivax noise and who would regularly retweet antivax rhetoric, not to defend it of course but to expose it.

That would get me all worked up... and for what? There is no benefit to this for anyone (and not even for Twitter, as I only used it on desktop with an adblocker).

> a huge amount is going to be due to 1+ billion Chinese people increasing their quality of life - but is that really due to capitalism?

Almost all of that happened after Deng's market reforms with the bulk of the decline after 1995[2], so yes. The top 10 provinces in GDP per capita are all SEZs where China liberalized markets and trade. There are plenty of critiques of capitalism that are interesting and valid, but it is great for creating wealth and surplus goods/services. And that's exactly how you lift people out of extreme poverty. The Baumol effect, access to markets, and access to capital investment all break people out of subsistence.

Sure, Jonathan Blow is a game developer and he has a couple of great playlists on youtube:

McAfee HBSS and Tanium, the worst products ever. Back room deals all the way.
This is clearly the problem:

In my experience McAfee alone will do exactly what this thread describes. But you then combine it with another security solution, and you end in on contention hell.

They can even scan one another during scans of underlying files/processes unless they're both correctly excluded from one another.

They are already doing it. There are a lot of seemly intentional bugs, I suspect this is a strategy to force users to migrate to the new one. Galleries and some profile features are not supported, and it is (again intentionally) slowed down on mobile.

Reddit jumped the shark already and the current state of affairs is an offense to the memory of Aaron Swartz. Problem is that a new mass migration (as happened in the Digg→Reddit move) is way more difficult due to the inertia and amount of content available. I just hope that, when it finally happens, it would be to a distributed or federated system -- Lemmy.ml seems to be the most promising for now.

Ask HN: Any recommended third party sign-up service?
Hello HN,

What third party service would you recommend to have a smooth and visually attractive sign up process for users? The service should be able to submit the sign up elements to a webhook API (no sensitive info is shared at that point).

I am currently using Typeform for GetMyMFA (https://get.mymfa.io) but unfortunately there is a maximum of 10 monthly questions and paying 20 bucks per month for « only » 100 sign ups is definitely excessive.

In the town where I’m from in Germany, exactly this happened: a major bridge was unsafe - one of two major roads leading to the crossing of the river rhine. It was closed and torn down, replacement will take a few years. In Berlin, one major river crossing was closed because it was unsafe, then torn down and replaced. Another was severely impacted and partially closed, it’s now replaced with a temporary bridge. Full replacement is expected in a decade or so. People adapt. Life goes on. It’s better than having the bridge collapse with people on it.
