It came from ETH owned by the bridge, essentially in a kind of escrow. That ETH is supposed to represent the tokens called "wrapped ETH" circulating on the Solana chain, in turn having been previously transferred from Ethereum through the bridge. The attack consisted of magic-ing some wrapped ETH out of thin air, then using them to release the escrowed ETH to the attacker on Ethereum.
Windows 2000 Pro is NT based, it came out before XP. It was more stable than XP.

The hardware had to pass up the OS in stability features. 486 and under CPUs had a heat sink but no fan. Some CPUs didn't even have a heat sink. They ran hot being on for 24/7. Causing lockups and freezes.

I have Windows 95 in a virtual machine and it runs faster and without the crashes and freezes on my Intel i5 system.

Don't forget OS/2 2.0 it was stable and crash proof. It was a join IBM and Microsoft product. Microsoft's OS/2 became NT.
The Teams Mac app is hot garbage. Every third or so meeting it will randomly hang, logout, hang up immediately, or even straight up crash when attempting to join a call. I’ve reinstalled it multiple times, cycled the sign in, all to no avail. And this has been happening for meetings throughout the entirety of last year!

Zoom has never given me a lick of trouble and I use it for at least 10x the meetings. I try to redirect people away from Teams whenever I have the option to do so.

Teams doesn’t work properly on Firefox - it doesn’t let you screen share or have any audio or video. Google Meet doesn’t have any problems - heck, Zoom’s web video call interface works great too. The only browser I can use Teams with properly is Chrome, and it’s literally the only site I ever find myself needing to use Chrome with.

And then there’s the famous bug where Teams disabled emergency calling on Android…

I mean, I know Microsoft doesn’t always prioritize non-Windows platforms, but they could at least pretend to try, right?
Why waste ones time hoping for 5-6 figures from big tech bug bounties? Smart contracts seem like the ultimate bug bounty program.
Why use FB for that and not a picture sharing site, just out of interest?

Where did you learn this skill/field? Would love to learn up on it and get my hands dirty.
It seems weird to talk about something as "good user experience" or "bad user experience" in a universal sense without a specific use case in mind. Something can be a good experience for one set of users and a poor experience for others.
I’m going to disagree, and to some extent I think you prefer the simple narrative with bankers as villains.

I worked on a prop trading desk with some housing bears, who made some significant gains with shorts. While they understood that certain markets were overheated, I don’t think any of them suspected the breadth and depth of the crash that was coming. While their models were better than the other guys, in the end they were really wrong too. Just less wrong then the guys who went long.
You have to adjust your feed a little for the best experience, yes. Hard to imagine HN being against taking a little up-front effort to get something that's more efficient in the long term.

Only somewhat - batteries tend to explode when damaged (punctured, squished, etc) when they short internally, or when they get a thermal runaway.

Putting armor, heat sinks, etc. on them does make them safer. Adding battery safety circuitry (charge control, overcurrent protection) also helps. It also adds weight. Unarmored lipo batteries are notoriously dangerous for a reason, and it’s not the electrolyte.
How do people rank hemp vs cotton in clothing?
That's a good call. I will definitely implement it. Thanks!
I am glad that people are finally seeming to catch on.
No. The real reason behind the losses is that TikTok became the number 1 app in the world today, and is directly taking away social engagement time from Instagram and Facebook. Heck, Zuckerberg admitted it himself in a post today:

"[...] there are two things that I want to call out that are having an impact on our business. The first is competition. People have a lot of choices for how they want to spend their time and apps like TikTok are growing very quickly."
Posts dumb stuff like fake news and hate speech?
It’s totally a batshit Hail Mary. Like it’s total vaporware at this point. Where is this metaverse? Where do I log in?

It’s all marketing hype and it’s creating dreams in peoples heads that will come crashing down when they actually use whatever this product is. Because whatever they ship, whenever they ship it, will be a thing that is huge and has little knowledge of what it’s market fit will be.

They aren’t starting small and nimble like a startup. They are betting huge high stakes games with almost no real market testing.
I don’t buy the CPU argument - NeXT managed that (with what became OS X) on 486-level hardware (68030) in the late 80s.

Surely Microsoft and Apple had more resources to spend on software development than NeXT? NT was great but MS only started selling it to the consumer market with XP.
> It generates millions of candidate programs and then it "filters" them by running them against input-output examples of the target programs taken from the problem descriptions. The filtering still leaves thousands of candidate programs (because there are very few I/O examples and the almost random generation can generate too many programs that pass the tests, but still don't solve the problem) so there's an additional step of clustering applied to pare this down to 10 programs that are finally submitted. Overall, that's a brute-force, almost random approach that is ignoring entire decades of program synthesis work. To make an analogy, it's as if DeepMind had just published an article boasting of its invention of a new sorting algorithm... bubblesort.

This is almost certainly untrue and if this position were true, it would be extremely easy for you to prove it: just write a program-generating algorithm that solves even some of the easiest Codeforces problems. Since you're claiming this feat by Alphacode is comparable in difficulty to writing bubblesort (which you could write in 5 minutes), it shouldn't take you a lot of effort to produce something comparable. Just link your program-generating algorithm here with something like instructions on how to use it, and link a few Codeforces submissions were it got ACC result.
And the incredibly low round trip efficiency - heat production then loss to the environment as part of compression is pretty brutal on that front.

Who the hell wants to do that? After this BS over the last two years? People will absolutely laugh at the idea. Most people are sick and tired of this virtual shit. FB could not have picked a worse time to hype up some unreleased virtual reality world.

This article is about losing users.
Does he understand the idea right? The program shouldn't require a change in settings in order to work: it should have reasonably workable default settings. This doesn't preclude customization at all.
I'm interested in learning more about this- do you have any recommended resources for getting started?
Correct, but what they can do is hard fork and encourage users to switch to the new version. Users will vote with their feet and choose the version that benefits them most. In a sense it's still upgradable, but only through direct democracy instead of delegated democracy / oligarchy. (and for the record I don't necessarily think that's a good thing for a financial system, but we'll see how it plays out in the next few years)
I'm not sure what there is to "fall for". Cruise is offering truly driverless rides (in a limited domain), and Tesla does not have any kind of truly driverless product (although they still call it Full Self Driving).
Nothing can prove the negative. But if any shred of evidence comes out that they didn't comply, there will be severe consequences for them, which makes it at least reasonably safe to assume they will comply. It's hard to keep a secret like that.
Any suggestions for other names?
>> I don’t think all friend need to share political views.

This is the #1 thing, and I upvoted because you said this.

I'm also mostly a libertarian, but I think anyone who doesn't get a vaccine is extremely stupid. I'm also prone to conspiracy theories - I tend to think 9/11 was an inside job, for example. But let's say you believe in conspiracy theories, like, let's say the government wants to kill a few million people. Who do you think they want to kill? The people who line up and take the vax? No way!! Those are compliant people (according to this kind of reasoning). The people they'd want to kill - hell, the people I'd want to kill - would be the people who refused the vaccine. So they can just let them die from the virus, or let out a stronger virus next year. Anyone who thinks they're "smart" for avoiding a vaccine has not thought about what the government would do if they really wanted to kill the non-compliant people.

But having said that: I don't believe that this is all being coordinated. I think there are just a lot of countries and health agencies that all have partial information and do the best they can with it. And a lot of individuals who try to make political impressions with it. But if it were coordinated, if it were a conspiracy, then the only logical people to kill would be the ones who refused vaccination. And again, I mean this as a libertarian. If you think this is a "test run" for when a really bad virus comes out, you can bet that if you're unvaccinated for covid you're considered an enemy. I don't know why a rational person would put themselves in that position when you look at all the evidence. And I know my balls still work after having a vaccine. To me the biggest proof was Israel being first up front to vaccinate the population. (I'm Jewish). I know Israel isn't in the business of killing Jews. It's in the business of keeping Jews alive. So when I talked to Israelis who were asking why I wasn't vaccinated yet, and I had to explain it wasn't even available in America, I was sure the vaccine was nothing to worry about.
OP here. Exactly correct.
What? Windows has nothing in the slightest bit like macOS’s searchable menus. I suspect you may be describing the Settings app which lets you search by name, synonyms or description, and takes you to the appropriate place, but that’s a far cry from a searchable menus across all apps, where the searching also shows you the path to that menu item.
The problem is of course, that Facebook is directly threatened by TikTok, while Google has a much stronger hold on its market segments. Google could continue growing, while Facebook actually shrinks.
A common pattern is to deploy a proxy contract, which simply forwards all function calls to an implementation contract, then an upgraded deployment generates a new address, the proxy contract is changed to point to the new address, and all end users only interact with the proxy contract. This is a little bit frowned upon in the community because it's a point of centralisation and control.
Depends on the car and where you're driving it.
I think they mean whether it was a 51% or not, a flaw on the Solana side of the ecosystem caused a loss of native Ethereum assets for users because it was on a bridge, even though nothing was broken on the Ethereum side.
It’s not. With RSS you are in charge, as you select exactly which feeds you subscribe to and see everything from those feeds. Facebook hides posts from things you subscribed to and shows you stuff you didn’t subscribe to, to keep you hooked.
> A webfont can be efficiently small if it includes characters only for the latin script. But what if I want to write Greek? Or Korean? Or Tamil? Something semi-terrible happens then. Thankfully, (probably) the text will still be displayed because the browser will fall back to another font for the characters the webfont of choice does not define. This will probably be a system font, which means it will probably define lots and lots of characters for all scripts. But, terribleness will strike when the style of the fallback font is completely different from the style of the primary font.

While I'm in the camp of `font-family: serif/sans-serif`, this paragraph strikes me as strange. If you choose a font for your own content on your own website, why would you choose something that doesn't contain all the characters you need?

The fallback problem is most commonly seen on websites that host user contents where the user can upload some character that the website maker hasn't prepared to host.

On a personal site that needs non-Latin characters, you either have to host a big font, or you relinquish control completely by setting `serif` and `sans-serif`. There really isn't much terribleness can happen, unless you mis-configure the language of your page.

I'm in favor of the latter, because when I browse the web as a user, I've seen how many web pages are broken when CJK characters are mixed with Latin alphabet. The only sane way for me is to block all custom fonts on the web. I've configured my OS to display both English and Chinese in a relatively harmonic manner (not a trivial effort on Linux, to be honest), and there's a much better chance that this system works better than whatever the website wants to do.
We have, in fact, thrown human analogues out of planes with and without parachutes. There are many ways to experimentally verify things in ways that don't require the use of an actual human - and in fact the development of accurate analogues is its own active area of research so that we can continue to expand experimental research into new areas.
> I swear people will pick an appliance with an app simply so they don’t have to press the preheat button on their oven.

Absolutely. The other day a colleague described the fact that her washing mashine's app tells her when the program is finished as an essential, must-have feature. I understand that it's useful and nice to have but if you're wearing an Apple Watch anyway, as she does, just set a timer. It's what I do.
Another approach is to unsubscribe from everything (friends, groups etc.). You feed is empty, but you can still visit profiles/groups etc. but nothing will be pushed to you.
No, Czech republic. Tech lead/architect doing stuff for banks. I guess the market is so hot right now that companies have to be more flexible.
I agree with this. I also like to divide things into "this requires research/invention" and "this does not require research/invention, just work".

Anything requiring invention by definition is not straightforward because its potential timeline may be functionally infinite if it cannot be solved with the tools at hand.

A task like changing all APIs to accept a different set of parameters might take 6 months, but is straightforward.

"Easy" is the one line change that has no side effects, and is uncommon in practice. After all, sometimes it is that one line change, but there are ramifications elsewhere in the system that need to be thought through.
My understanding, from knowing someone close to these political circles, is that there is a conflict between the religious faction and the individual-liberty faction. So whenever that gets resolved, we will see further movement on that front.

>The devil's lettuce might not be for everyone

It’s not for me. Neither is alcohol. Doesn’t mean I think it should be illegal. I don’t get why other people have this attitude about keeping things illegal simply because they don’t personally get enjoyment out of it.

> It's not like all customers are scratching them off then and there in front of them?

A good number of tickets (most tickets?) are purchased by habitual players who'll buy many tickets per sale, and many of those people will even scratch them off in the store:

If you don't see this happening often, you're not likely living in poor or low-income neighborhoods, not patronizing the local convenience stores, or at least not paying attention to the 1 or 2 individuals that you'll often see lingering near the counter.
"formally verify the contract" it would help if Solidity was as well though out as Ada, and not something more like JS.

I'd even argue that imperative programming is the wrong paradigm for such smart contracts.
If you are into simulations (driving, flying) then I'd say get a headset ASAP. Also potentially if you see yourself getting into immersive rhythm/fitness games. Otherwise I think it's pretty reasonable to wait for more compelling content to be released (and reap the benefits of the better hardware that will be available at that time).
You're forgetting that the biggest community on cryptocurrencies are ancaps thinking they are the apex predators.
It works for me. Love it.

Please tell me how I can build something like this?
Regardless of the hack,

..."Wormhole said earlier that the network was down for maintenance."

A great summary of so-called 'DeFi'. How can a system be decentralized if someone can unilaterally decide to take it down for maintenance?
The only useful thing about it was messenger but they disabled that on mobile browsers, so I stopped using the whole predict and then deleted it altogether.
When they started they kept the “beta” tag for like 3 years and it freaked everyone out.
Yes, and in a similar manner we can know quite a lot about how people would behave in situations like the one in Milgram's experiment even if we won't ever do an exact replication.
This feels like a highly probable outcome as well. It feels natural. We shall see! I do wonder if there are patterns we can see in the past of other devices (like the iPad) that ended up being utilities more than main devices.

It seems like you are thinking from a technology standpoint. From a business standpoint, a large proportion of the business and behind the scenes negotiation effort had the effect of sticking things where they were, and maintaining platform dominance rather than optimizing the platforms...and we know this now due to famous legal proceedings... :-]
Well obviously not, then people wouldn’t spend it on nfts.
I've collected a few links I've given out before on this subject if you'd like to read more into it: https://www.thejach.com/view/2022/1/thoughts_on_writings_on_... To reiterate some of my thoughts (which are far less interesting or important than the links) I think it's a very old and tiresome and largely pointless debate, even if it can be a fun waste of time to ponder, but in any case it's mostly been lost. #lisp even gave up its CL-focused IRC channel in the move to Libera and is now at #commonlisp.

But that's just like most debates over words and changing common usage meanings. It doesn't even matter if the new common usage is or becomes the most popular usage or not, at some point it's common enough that a new entry in any dictionary is warranted. (The term "Lisp" obviously predates Common Lisp, but part of the success of Common Lisp led to "Lisp" gaining common usage to refer just to CL.) It's unfortunate that the alternate usage isn't something crisp, like how "literally" can be taken to mean something not literally true and is just an exaggeration or emphasis, and instead a common usage of "Lisp/lisp/a lisp/Lisp family/Lisp dialect" is as a poorly defined fuzzy feeling of the spirit or flavor of "Lisp-like" languages. It can be a mess trying to pin down whatever commonalities are meant by that feeling. My favorite attempt is something like a language written in its own literal data structures. But depending on the speaker the feeling might encompass things like WebAssembly (s-exps sorta!) or Dylan or even Julia, and in the past has once encompassed things like Ruby or Python (in the sense of "acceptable lisp").

For me and many others (like the title of this thread) unqualified Lisp still typically means Common Lisp, it's still a common enough usage, and I'll at least keep using it that way almost all the time for the foreseeable future just as others avoid using "literally" as "figuratively" or "virtually". But I don't think it's worthwhile to do so from a "fight the good fight" standpoint or to be consumed by a melancholic desire for a rectification of names. On the brighter side, at least for Lisp if there's communication confusion it's probably only a good thing in producing cognitive dissonance and driving some curiosity towards CL. (For example if someone talks about unqualified Lisp in conjunction with the form of GOTO that CL has which has been there since LISP 1.5, or in conjunction with OOP, or the function compile-file, someone reading with a particular fuzzy usage of Lisp in mind may think "I thought Lisp was a functional/minimal/interpreted language?" and go on to learn something. Similar positive learning benefits can come from using the fuzzy meaning of Lisp in e.g. setting up events or community spaces, where Schemers or Clojurists or whoever are welcome, since that gives more people in those other languages as well as the fuzzy-Lisp-curious a chance to learn about CL, and CL people a chance to learn about what's going on outside the bubble.)
