I think what happens is

- sometimes a brewery changes the taster/mixer master

- other times I suspect they start cheaping on ingredients

- in one particular case I almost expect the brewery did it on purpose: A particular brewery here in Norway produced a very tasty low-alcoholic beer that was sold durt cheap in one particular chain 8f grocery stores. Then at some point around 2008-2009 that particular beer changed to taste like the smell of a fox farm (I grew up next to one so I know that smell). I checked back a number of times but the quality didn't recover until years later. One possible explanation would be that they had an extremely bad deal and was actively sabotaging this product to sell less of it at loss.
This sounds very, very cool. Sadly I'm not much of a gamedev, otherwise I would take part, but I really would love this come to fruition!
I only watched the first few minutes so far, and the storyline quite reminds me of myself being quite fascinated by hearing my first jungle tunes about 15 years earlier. Nice!

I'm amazed they've been able to make a business out of this. At D-Wave, we have been able to generate truly random numbers for aeons; we use them for calibration, but they don't have any real business value presently. Truly random RNGs have been commercially available for ages, and if you need such a high level of randomness, you're probably sensitive enough that you don't want to accept them from some 3rd party over the internet.

If you want some quantum-generated random numbers, sign up for D-Wave Leap and you can trivially generate your own for free... or perhaps, run an optimization algorithm to do something a little more useful.

Hey dude, I've been screwing around implementing plan9 semantics in a OS like system for the browser (https://github.com/intigos/possimpible).

Speaking of signatures, google play now requires developers to submit the private keys we used to sign apps with. Without submitting a key I can't issue updates. Out of protest I stopped pushing updates to apps via Google Play.
Originally, a meter was defined as 1/10,000,000 of the distance between the equator and the North Pole. The circumference of the earth is now 40,075.017 km instead of 40,000 km but it was a pretty good estimate for 1795.

Maybe a better way of thinking about it is that a process that gathers numbers can be useful, but understanding the context in which the numbers were gathered (methodology and whatever else is happening at the time) is more important than the numbers themselves. Without context, you don't know what you have.

For example, surveys gather numbers, but if you don't understand how the people who answered the questions interpreted them, you don't know what the numbers mean. Asking people what they really meant by their answer is only possible for the people doing the survey.
I would consider that a good advice for anyone who is half-decent in current market.

Good Engineers are at the value of gold. Can save you a lot of money down the road.

I have like 8y of experience and salary requirement is the first thing I negotiate. Easy 30-50% jump each time in past few years.

SOCKS5, the protocol, is not encrypted. Data is sent in clear text across the wire and can be intercepted at any time.

Of course, the data is just TCP and UDP packets, so you could be running a HTTPS connection over it (or DOH for DNS) but from the ISP's point of view SOCKS5 or no SOCKS5 they can see just as much of your traffic.

SOCKS5 to an external server is not solving encryption, you need a VPN for that; at most, it can solve anonymity (by hiding your IP address, presuming you trust the SOCKS5 server operator).

In my case, I'm using SOCKS5 to another machine in my LAN which in turn connects to an external VPN provider over an encrypted channel (OpenVPN or WireGuard).

For the passenger – unless the cars drive significantly better there's really no difference. Rides may get cheaper but the overall market will decide that.

The benefits to the company who runs the service is, of course, huge.
Ask HN: Specializing in MVP/PoC/Prototypes?
As a self-employed software developer, I find that I can get bored of the duration of a project (often open-ended). Clients will always want general support and new features.

Is it sustainable or feasible to specialise in building proof of concepts? Letting people bring their idea into existence at a lower price-point.
> The user made a transfer that shouldn't have been done in the first place, and somehow people are saying that the protocol should have safe-guards against doing transfers to the wrong address, but how is the protocol supposed to know what address is right/wrong?

Sure, the user sent stuff to the wrong address... Or did he? Seems, rather, that he sent the wrong kind of stuff. Had he sent, whateveritwas, WETF in stead of WETH or vice versa, then it would have gone right.

So then it seems the receiving thingamajig was at least as much at fault: It accepted (and just swallowed) a kind of stuff it shouldn't receive. It's like, say, a one-way currency-changing ATM that takes dollars and returns euros. If you feed in euros by mistake, it fucking obviously should just spit them back out (and preferably display or print an error message, "Wrong currency: Gimme dollars to get euros.") You're saying just swallowing your euros would be a "valid" behaviour for that machine.

That's so obviously bullshit that the only remaining mystery here is whether you're actively trying to defend what you know is indefensible, or actually so deluded that you've somehow convinced yourself this bullshit is true. Well, no, not the only one: The other mystery is, which is worse?
LMDB implements MVCC and is pretty easy to read, the implementation is very tiny.
Which is why we usually have multiple cylinders to deliver smooth power. A V8 is getting power on 4 cylinders each revolution, etc.
The graph showing the PPP loan distribution by income is kind of unsatisfying because there’s a broad range of incomes in the richest 20%. It would be much more convincing if there was more granularity in that graph. The 80th percentile household income is in the low to mid $100k range. If you have children and live in an expensive city, you’re not rich even if there are a lot of people worse off compared to you.

This is not to say that I’m disputing the reporting showing that there was abuse of the PPP program.
> What do we call C code transpiled to Rust. Crust?

Fun fact: in ancient Rust, what we now call extern "C" functions were called "crust" functions, pronounced like the word.

I finally got notified by them about this. I had wondered if perhaps I was an exception.

I, too, am pretty happy to pay for the service. I only have two accounts on it, and since one is really just the catchall that I use to give out fake emails, I can probably condense it to one. (Spam is not the problem that it used to be.)

At $6/month, it seems a reasonable price.
Don't worry, that money went to job creators and it will definitely trickle down to everyone else!
Exciting... trying it as I type!

Edit: I'm trying to run the following benchmarks [1]:

function mySlowFunction(baseNumber) {
console.time('mySlowFunction');
let result = 0;
for (var i = Math.pow(baseNumber, 7); i >= 0; i--) {
result += Math.atan(i) * Math.tan(i);
};
console.timeEnd('mySlowFunction');
}

mySlowFunction(8); // higher number => more iterations => slower

Results: 99ms in my Chromium browser (v8 JIT enabled), it breaks in the WebVM (after typing `node` and enter) with `TODO: FAULT af5147bf / CODE da d9 83`

Results (not using console time): 99ms in my Chromium browser (v8 JIT enabled), 680ms in WebVM (1050ms in the first run).

Conclusion: WebVM node is only 7 times slower than native v8 in my local machine (macOS M1 Max)

It depends on hundreds of factors, so, first let me outline the ideal ambient, that is:
1) Temperate climate, about 50'000 square kilometers surface, 1/2 good agricultural earth, 1/2 woodlands with good construction wood, lakes and rivers with clean water supply.
2) Non vaccinated survivors, no incest generated people with hereditary defects, mixed age sample, healthy, uniform race, IQ possibly the present mean European or higher.
3) Territory defensible by sea coast, large rivers, high mountains and/or deserts. No radioactive pollution. A group of islands may also fit the possible scenery.

My estimation: basically we need six to ten million individuals and 200 years.

P.S. for science fiction lovers: Antarctic would fit perfectly if the Earth axis shifts and the continent is placed in the temperate climate again but more time will be necessary to allow for the growth of forests first.
The rocket is moving at perhaps mach 4+. The laser has to strike a singular spot. So holding focus for multuple seconds is an as-yet-unsolved problem. Of course, hitting an incoming missile at all is at the edge of current capability.

Anything other than direct cash transfers to individual humans is likely to have this effect. Institutions are simply always going to be able to navigate and take advantage of complex government programs better than real human beings.

When we started working on Coroot, we weren't sure if it would be possible to create such a product or not. In order to verify the initial hypotheses, we reproduced real-world failure scenarios in our staging environment and recorded their telemetry. Now we are able to replay this telemetry data, applying Coroot's inspections, to detect particular failures.

Along the way we discovered two things:

* Real-life telemetry data is noisy and inaccurate, so using this allows us to develop more accurate inspections.

* Replaying these scenarios is actually very entertaining!

At Coroot we call our library of recorded failure scenarios Failurepedia, and we want to share it with you.

Tesla partnered with Luminar by the way and even tested their LiDAR on a model 3 last year. I guess they weren't impressed though, since they seem to still be all-in on passive optical recognition.
Firecracker uses KVM, but KVM is only part of the equation. KVM exposes some very basis functionality (vcpus, memory) that an application like Firecracker or rust-vmm (or more commonly QEMU) use to create a Virtual Machine. The Virtual Machine usually needs additional components that are outside of the scope of KVM, such as serial ports, disks, network interfaces, BIOS which the VMM emulates. In the case of Firecracker, the emulation layer is much simplified and doesn't necessarily aim to replicate a real machine (QEMU sort of does), but one that has the bare minimum to function. This is done so that it's faster to boot and uses less resources overall.

I'm not sure this answers your questions exactly, there are good reasons to sometimes use a more faithful emulation of a real machine, but it's also sort of legacy for many of the cloud use cases like multi-tenant architectures, where VMs are mainly used to keep hard boundaries between customers.
SEEKING FREELANCER(S) | Atlanta, GA, USA | Remote OK

My startup does three things:

1) FakeYou.com is a deep fake cartoon and celebrity text to speech and video generation tool used for making memes.

2) I'm in the process of standing up Storyteller.io, which enables the monetized use of TTS and deepfake video in Twitch, YouTube Gaming, Reddit, and other streaming communities.

3) We have an engine for virtual production: Unreal Engine + motion capture + volumetric capture for cinematic-quality VTuber streams with audience interaction and participation.

All of these tools play extremely well together.

I'm looking for the following skill sets, and help with any of them would be fantastic:

- Unreal Engine (C++ or animation experience)

- Pytorch / ML with a focus on 3D and spatial applications, posture estimation, and 3D generative models. You don't have to be an active researcher, but being able to implement the top papers (or adapt and train published code) is good.

- Rust. Our backend stack is entirely Rust / Actix. Our volumetric capture system is Rust, too.

This is entirely self-funded, but I'm gearing up for applying to YC Summer 2022. I've also got a few other VC leads. This could potentially turn into an FTE position with equity.

Please reach out if you're interesting in "storytelling" and creative coding. This is not going to be a boring job.
