So in essence this WIRED article could be a distribution mechanism for the government to provide compromised hacking scripts to third party hackers?
I'm in HFT and a huge part of our job for the FPGA drivers is managing the NUMA awareness of our software. And we have to constantly educate new devs coming into the low level software teams about this. Luckily, the SW teams are starting to do this training for us but it's always a major headache when there's issues. You can easily lose 50%+ of your performance by just failing to set a core affinity without even considering anything else.
As a start, I'd recommend you to read through https://handshake.org/ and associated documentation if you're interested in understanding how it works.

As a quick answer to your concern, running your own node doesn't mean you can only access your own domains, it'll still be a part of the global handshake network, just via your node instead of via the "hosted backend" you mentioned.
It’s only been up for a couple of hours. It’ll happen soon enough.
It was shot illegally (er, without permits). It really could not be done today:

“The car chase was filmed without obtaining the proper permits from the city. Members of the NYPD's tactical force helped control traffic. But most of the control was achieved by the assistant directors with the help of off-duty NYPD officers, many of whom had been involved in the actual case. The assistant directors, under the supervision of Terence A. Donnelly, cleared traffic for approximately five blocks in each direction. Permission was given to literally control the traffic signals on those streets where they ran the chase car. Even so, in many instances, they illegally continued the chase into sections with no traffic control, where they actually had to evade real traffic and pedestrians. Many of the (near) collisions in the movie were therefore real and not planned (with the exception of the near-miss of the lady with the baby carriage, which was carefully rehearsed). A flashing police light was placed on top of the car to warn bystanders. A camera was mounted on the car's bumper for the shots from the car's point-of-view. Hackman did some of the driving but the extremely dangerous stunts were performed by Bill Hickman, with Friedkin filming from the backseat. Friedkin operated the camera himself because the other camera operators were married with children and he was not.”

The director recently said he regrets the shot:

“As successful as the film was, I wouldn’t do that now. I had put people’s lives in danger.”

I can't think of a reason an official thing would be rolled out on a separate domain.
> no pedestrians were present

No pedestrians detected, which is very different.

See e.g. the video of Tesla running over a child (mannequin, fortunately): https://twitter.com/taylorogan/status/1478802681141645322?s=...
This. It's clearly just another one of the myriad of deceptive Covid papers that we have been seeing recently. Get them on a pre-print server (no peer review) and spread them to the faithful.

Calling masks a form of lockdown is utterly bogus.

And even if they had proven their point all they would be showing is that half measures don't work.

Simple thought experiment: If the world had basically been put on pause for April 2020--everyone stocks up in March, then spends the entirety of April at home where would we be now? (Use the stocks of PPE to protect those who have to be at their posts or people will die and they do not go home.)

(Now, I'm not sure if there was enough food and the like around to actually permit this.)
> There’s probably a German word for it, and if not, there should be.

Weltlichkeit (says Heidegger).
I think your criticism in this thread is fully valid. But I wanted to say that even "glorified light rail" is an incredible accomplishment... The challenges are immense for getting failure rates as low as that would require. Behavior prediction, avoidance, pedestrian interaction, etc are all issues for any subset of streets.
That's not that bad, Belgium used to have no driving licenses for normal cars (everyone could drive) and the accident figures were similar to neighbour countries.
Neat project, you may want to consider adding audio processing too (eg sound detected) as part of the video.

You could go deeper and compare samples of audio that could be uploaded separately (eg, siren sounds), check out MFCC processing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel-frequency_cepstrum#Applica... to do Shazam-style audio comparison.

I wonder too if you process it on a per-frame basis or you can take series of frames too (eg analyze the last 5 seconds of frames) to detect things like a "hand wave".
> But Dune is barely out for a few months - it's a blockbuster, for sure, with enormous production budget, lots of public interest, etc. But so was Jurassic World, the Star Wars sequels or the Hobbit trilogy. Whether Dune will become an all-time classic like Laurence of Arabia remains to be seen.

Those movies have worse visuals than Dune imo.
I think it's a good article.

But it's worth considering the possibility that mathematics could have fallen, and could still fall, into a state where false results are frequently published, and isn't 'protected' by anything special in the nature of the field or its practitioners.

Just as you might find yourself asking "why did city A fall into the grip of organised crime, and not city B?". You might look for answers in the methods of police recruitment or a strong history of respect for the rule of law or anything like that, but it might turn out that the answer is really just "city A got unlucky".
My point was that as a newcomer in either operating systems (Linux late last century) or a new search engine (Marginalia, Kagi) you cannot always win by repeating the same stuff incumbents do.

Especially not when the incumbents are busy digging deeper holes.
Also it would be soo easy to frame someone. That is why we have the legal system we have in most countries. We want to be REALLY sure we get the right person before we do something about it.
Numble: It's like Wordle but for Math nerds
I'd bet that this hacker has personally been targeted by US intelligence agencies, if not before this event certainly after. Yet somehow I doubt he will attempt to take down the entire cointries internet or start a FU USA group.
Arrakis was mostly filmed in a desert, how did it not feel real? The CGI in Dune was pretty decent IMO and the highlight for me was the ornithopters wing flapping. The motion blur of the wings was simply amazing.
Neither company has a remote driver. I think the role you are referring to is an operator, who Waymo makes clear never directly drives the car.
It doesn't even have to be average human.

Let's say AI only gets to 10% (or 20% or 30% or whatever, it doesn't really matter), that's a huge number of jobs being lost.

Imagine having a machine write all the "simple/boring" code for you. Your productivity will go through the roof. The smartest programmer who can most effectively leverage the machine could replace many hundreds of programmers.

I should brush up on my plumbing and apply for a plumbing license soon. (I think plumbing is safer than electricians, because many CS people have good EE foundations).
Aha, so the added information is number of votes (at indexing time? Reading the chat message time?), comments, relative timestamp and the logo is at the right instead of below with absolute timestamp. Got it, thanks!
While somewhat unrelated, anecdotally, the road quality in Boston is terrible in comparison to big cities in South Africa or the UK. There’s a big disconnect in local management and the communities they serve.
I'm not a designer, but I have done a fair bit with HCI for whatever that's worth. I recently read "The Design of Everyday Things", which I understood to be a seminal text in the UX world. In it, Norman argues that no one-size-fits-all product actually fits all and leaving off 1% of the population is still a rather large number of people, so in the spirit of human-centered designed you should provide options or settings to support those people as well. I've been struggling to reconcile that with UX of many software products in the time since.

The modern UX ethos seems to be that settings indicate a failing of the product and if people don't like the path laid out for them, they're either wrong or they can go use something else. I think the book also makes the argument that constantly breaking workflows isn't very user-friendly either, but SaaS products routinely change their UI and workflows around. I suppose I can see the business justification for that, but that doesn't necessarily make it good UX.

Of course, Norman could just be wrong or my interpretation of his text could be wrong. Either way, something feels off to me with modern UX. I suppose if you've run actual user studies (not just A/B tests), then you have more contextual data than I do. But, I came away from reading the book really wishing more software products (both SaaS and the recent spat of "opinionated" frameworks/tools) followed the principles he championed.
4 days between notification and propagation of the fix. Thank you for poking around OP. Sanitizing your inputs isn't always simple.
Its kinda amazing to see the cognitive dissonance that people have when it comes to "regulators".

When these regulators get swayed by the car industry into stupid stuff like 25 year import rule, or how they still keep speed limits around which have nothing to do with safety as they are based on outdated MPG savings initiative and end up disproportionally affecting lower income people, they rightfully are criticized.

However, as soon as some manufacturer pops up and does something that the public doesn't like, even for silly reasons like not protecting people from themselves, people immediately jump to wanting the "regulators" to do something about it.
Kinda makes it easy to see who has irrational hate for Tesla/Musk versus those who actually care about technology.

The correct thing for the "regulators" to do is to make it mandatory that every car has the same set of cameras and instruments that Tesla cars do, and that data is streamed to a publicly funded data warehouse where its open source and available for anyone to use.
Sounds more like an r/relationship post than something for YC, friend.

I wish you the best of luck, truly.
I think all of the BSDs appreciate thoughtful patches to improve the documentation. Most of the BSD devs are so deeply familiar with the OS that they do not have the perspective of an inexperienced user trying to read the docs and figure things out.

> The Trudeau-Federal government continues to try to pass bills for internet censorship - with active calls and propaganda align with their trying to promote the majority of Canadians to hate and fear - so they can silence those who won't toe the line, who don't agree with them.

They can control the narrative on the state media, not the internet! That's dangerous (for them, not the people!).

Wow. That sounds like par for the course. Didn’t his father even suspend constitutional rights (apparently that’s a thing over there?) for similarly dubious reasons back in the 70’s?
This is a thoughtful and thought-provoking blog post. I think it's worth asking similar questions of computer science. I think you'll find some math-like patterns -- there's basically no chance Quicksort or any other fundamental algorithm paper will fail to replicate -- and some patterns which will fail to replicate, like in software engineering.

Some of the early results on pseudorandom generators and hash functions aren't holding up well, but I think that's just progress. We understand the problem a whole lot better than we did back then.

Perhaps more interesting is the literature on memory models. The original publications of the Java and C11 memory models had lots of flaws, which took many years to fix (and that process might not be totally done). I worry that there are a bunch of published results that are similarly flawed but just haven't gotten as much scrutiny.

Thanks! This does indeed seem more like what i was looking for, couldn't for the life of me find it in their main navigation menu on the site.

Author here: for sure, but that's not the point. My point is that the initial experience for non-technical people using the web is horrible, and they will never ever get to the places you mention. The promise of the web as a medium that isn't paid for (and I worked in Radio, TV and Newspapers) is not a mainstream thing.
It's a real thing, live and ongoing. They have a Telegram channel https://t.me/cpartisans and also a promotional video on YouTube for how to defeat Lukashenko, the only dictator in Europe: https://youtu.be/UldT78OjlvE

They did manage to induce mess on Belarus railways transporting Russian military equipment to Ukrainian border. It probably stalled, but still didn't prevent Russian military reaching the Ukrainian border through Belarus.
4chan is not optimised for engagement, it's one of the most basic messageboards.
PM Narasimha Rao would speak in the local language of the states he visited during his tenure in politics. After his premiership, wrote a fiction novel indirectly sharing his experience in politics. His skill in language translation helped in climbing the political ladder because so few national politicians could speak more than their regional language.

It's quite amazing that he learned COBOL and BASIC and wrote UNIX programs during his career in politics. He's credited with liberalizing industrial policies that helped Software/IT services industry dramatically grow in the following decade after his tenure.

His secretary BN Yugandhar is the father of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

I'm super excited about this!

I'm on the cusp of releasing a model into production that was fine-tuned upon your 6B model, and the results are quite excellent. I'd be very curious to try out the 20B model the next time we retrain.

Are there any other differences in this release (number of layers, number of attention heads, etc) compared with the 6B model, or does it simply scale-up the number of parameters?
It was certainly costly at the start but how does it fare in the long run?

Also, while it worked well against the earlier strains they were already having some trouble with Delta and I think they're going to fail spectacularly against Omicron. It seems to be outrunning the ring fencing.
I like your metaphor. A desk chair with no ability to customize is too constrained. One with dozens of dials and knobs is far too fiddly, at least for me. There is a happy medium with just the right amount of configuration for most people.
Men are also more likely to drive drunk, under the influence and are more likely to buy a car with more than 250hp. There's a _lot_ of confounding variables when examining crashes.
> This actually seems like a pretty bad use case for WordPress, TBH. To be fair to WordPress, you can set up custom tables and permissions to do this, but you will be writing a lot of code to render overviews, validate forms, and so on.

This was also a sneaking suspicion of mine after diving into some plugins and seeing how they work, e.g. things that definitely aren't pages/posts beings stored in those tables in the database regardless, hinting that maybe the base functionality needs to be stretched out a bit for custom use cases.
I am legitimately unsure whether or not your comment is satire of a certain kind of pointy-haired middle managers. If it is, it's very well done.
Hiller VZ-1, see it at the San Carlos Airport:

Of course the Autopilot adds value, all such driver assists are there to add value and help the driver on any car. I just don't think Autopilot can drive, let alone drive safer than a human. There's a difference between "helping a human drive safer" and "driving safer than a human". This is a confusion many people make when reading these stats, to Tesla's benefit.

Also the oldest Tesla with AP is less than 10 years old (with an average of 3-4 years given the sales trends). The average age of cars on the street in the US is over 12 years old. An accident statistic that looks at reasonably new, premium cars against everything else won't paint the correct picture.
I wonder if supernormal stimuli are the same for all people. We tend to see differentiation in ideal mate selection, so it's possible we have different biological weak spots to hijack.

Put another way, for some people maybe videogames are just not a supernormal stimulus. I like games but I actually struggle to rack up play time, even when I intentionally clear time to play. I just never find that reward curve, and not for lack of trying.

I do wonder if some situations - games, social media, porn - are adversarial. Meaning we can view this as one party attempting to find supernormal stimulus and trick you into it, while you attempt to avoid the biological hijacking.

If this is an adversarial situation than avoidance is counter-productive (you won't always win the avoidance game) and instead you need desensitization and safe guards.
That's a great way to put it. With C you can build a car. With Lisp you can build a better car but it's also very tempting to build a car factory, and a motor factory to supply that, and an iron ore mine to supply the motor factory, and just for grins let's go ahead and reinvent physics in a way that suits our purposes and hey, faster-than-light spaceships are probably a good idea too so let's build those, and pretty soon you've completely forgotten about the car.

> Not being able to use arms absolutely is an infringement of the right to bear them.

That doesn't follow. The right to own something does not imply the right to use it.

> One point that gets lost about the 2nd Amendment is that it should be considered an inalienable right. Meaning, it cannot be diminished by any law of man. Consequently, most of the gun laws can be viewed as fundamentally unconstitutional, and any attempts to enforce them are illegal.

The Constitution does not and cannot bestow inalienable rights.
My biggest problem with manual/help is when i don't know how to search for what i need. How is it called in the manual? You might even arrive at a page that explains it, but you may not recognize it. Often manual pages simple explain how to do something, without explaining why and when it is relevant.
Effects that looked amazing in the past often no longer look amazing. I remember thinking the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park looked real. Now they look like bad CGI with bad compositing. Part of that is the first time I see something, especially in the theater, if the story is good, I get sucked in and am not looking for flaws. Where as, years later when it's no longer exciting, because I already know the story or because someone said "go watch these effects", then those issues stick out. Knowing's effects were good when it came out and good enough if you were into the story and not trying to look for flaws. I agree though that watching them now they look subpar, especially the subway.
Yes, but it's how we're taught at driving school. I think it's written down somewhere but can't find it at the moment, so the article I linked to is the closest I could find.
Well, why it pops up I can't really speak to (could easily be a product manager trying to boost engagement), but what it does is more of what I'm familiar with
This is no longer true, at least since 2003 in the US. Car seats are now attached using the far-more-secure three-point LATCH system. I never once “used this feature” when installing a car seat for my now-twelve-year-old.
Try driving a car around without both conceptual and causal systems understanding of the world - meaning matters for survival.
Image boards like 4chan are almost entirely free from adtech engagement optimization, so no. This is who we are when we are given a place to air our petty grievances with no accountability to prior postings.
> And 5.6mph isn't rolling

Most cars idle at 5 to 6 mph, so any roll through a stop sign is likely to break the 5 mph mark.

> Any cop watching an intersection would ticket this.

Not sure where you live, but this is absolutely not the case where I am. I have only ever once heard of a traffic officer ticketing for this. On the other hand, I see cops watch on as people ignore "no turn on red" signs and let them get away with it pretty much every day. Let alone rolling through an intersection at 5 mph.
I remember their ambitions from three years ago - transforming the waterfront of Toronto, one of the most beautiful big cities. Sadly Google considered it financially risky

In old photos of New York and other American cities, two things always stand out to me:

1) The streets look so bare, there don't seem to be any trees along the sidewalks! Trees lining the streets clearly seems to make a big difference in how the city looks. I can't imagine how unnatural and impersonal the place must have felt before all the trees were put in.

2) How quickly the city seems to taper off into comparative nothingness. Old photos of the NYC outer boroughs and the outer parts of Boston make it seem like the "suburbs" consisted of farmland, with random-seeming pockets of mansions and other urban buildings scattered throughout. I don't know how true that is, but it's a weird thing to imagine. It's amazing to think that anyone had the foresight to run subway lines out into these areas, which at least in photos seem very rural and almost desolate. Nowadays, I am used to the idea that cities generally have large dense "metro areas", which gradually taper off with decreasing density as you move further from the center. Some cities are exceptions to this, e.g. the city of Rochester, NY, which kind of just "ends" at its western border (the Erie Canal), rapidly dissipating into rural suburbs of Gates, Greece, and Chili. But this always seemed like a strange and jarring transition to me. Maybe a lot of places are like this? And maybe more places were like this in the past.
In fairness, it's hard to tell what's Firefox throwing away the thing that made them special vs Google abusing its monopoly position to push its way into the browser market.
> If not, it's deeply unhealthy for you to be enraged by something that doesn't even directly involve you.

Teslas drive on public streets, unfortunately. So everyone who doesn't own a Tesla is still part of Elon's irresponsible experiements. Thus, have a right to an opinion or even outrage.

I don't own a Tesla but I've been brake checked by their phantom braking so I care.
