Although I don't disagree with your thought here and that was actually the podcast host's/other contributor's original hunch too, this wasn't actually an issue with interpolation. I know it sounds bizarre, but the paraphrasing of the podcast hosts and comments from the infotainment system code author suggest that he was treating all strings as percent encoded[0] without any checks or guards in place. Since "% I" isn't a valid character reference, it chokes on it.

Well, it's not like the US would pay someone else to develop NASA's missions, would they? Part of the point of NASA is to keep aerospace expertise thriving, (I'd argue one of the primary goals, in fact), by answering really challenging science questions. You're right in letter, but off in spirit by comparing it to war profiteering.

(Ozgun from Citus / Microsoft)

Hi there, thanks for mentioning Citus. Could you share a bit more about the user experience you're looking for with sharding?

With Citus, you create your Postgres table as-is. If you'd like for the table to be distributed, yes, you'd need to pick a distribution key. You'd do this by calling: SELECT create_distributed_table('postgres-table-name', 'distribution-column');

We also thought about picking a distribution key on behalf of the user. This however has performance implications, particularly as you add more nodes to the cluster.
That's not the same thing. There's value in a schema even in a dynamically typed language.

For example, if you have a bug in your codebase due to e.g. a runtime type error, you can generally troubleshoot and fix it, but if your data is in an inconsistent state, it may be impossible to fully recover.

This article [0] has a good explanation of why clamping is necessary. But the process is very simple, you just generate 32 random bytes, clear the three least significant bits to avoid small-subgroup attacks, then clear the most significant bit and set the second most significant to avoid side-channel attacks which may occur if an implementation isn’t constant-time. The Libsodium source shows this pretty clearly: [1], lines 18-23.

> If you believe this to be exaggeration... this is happening right now. Out of curiousity, which country are you in? How do you not know about this? 10 links provided and can be easily added to.

Yes, the media is crying wolf and also saying it won't happen, similar situation as around Ukraine/Russia, and similar to any other type of conflict in the world. Media organizations thrive on stirring the pot, and will always have scary headlines, especially when there is even a hint of anything approaching a conflict. I'm currently in Europe but live in different places in the world during the year, what about you?

> Is your claim that Taiwan won't be next and it's someone else who is next? Taiwan is second?

I believe that things are uncertain right now, and claiming that you know or that everyone "expects" something to happen to be an exaggeration. Linking a bunch of online newspapers with names like "warblog", "militarytimes" or articles about how Australia now has a deal with the US about nuclear arms, doesn't exactly improve your case. Most newspapers just wants views like everyone else, and they'll write news that makes you click on the headline. It takes careful consideration and weighing different sides of a story to see what's going on.

> Or is your do you believe all these governments are spreading propaganda?

Yes, every government on the planet does this. Some are more obvious, some are less. Some do it for betterment, some do it for personal gain. But what's clear in every single government on Earth, is that they participate in propaganda.

> I suspect you're not asking for me to prove APT groups are chinese?

I'm asking you to provide evidence for these two claims:

> Taiwan is expected to fall next.

> lots of fabs catching fire or being hacked and shutdown

You're saying fabs are being put on fire and/or being hacked by foreign entities, while still not providing any evidence for that happening in practice, essentially spreading conspiracy theories. The statement from akm says "there is no clear prospect for identification of the cause of the fire or for restoration of operation of the plant" and the Reuters article makes no claims regarding the cause of the fire.

> Multiple fires hitting non-chinese chip fabs? Just a coincidence... nothing to do with the ongoing war...

It could be related, it could not. Without any sort of evidence-based approach, you have about 0% chance at arriving at the correct conclusion. And while you don't have a clue what's going on, it's better not to spread theories that are not based on facts but instead boils down to "So you think this is just a coincidence huh?!".
Very unlikely. Variable names are usually stripped out, and function names often are. In principal it is the same as looking at any binary, after you have extracted the binary from the device.
> I wonder what it would be like to work on something that takes 5 years to make, the longest I have ever worked on 1.0 apps (since the 80s when I started) is 14-16 months. Just coordinating thousands of people for 5 years is mind boggling.

In software, automotive projects can come quite close to this. Building a modern high-end headunit ECU with software can take a couple of years, 100-150 dev teams, 2k engineers and coordinating with many other groups/departments around it.

It's 13 million qubits. It's weird they write it in scientific notation, it makes it look larger. If qubits got to the moore-like-bandwagon, that is not many multiplications away from current amount.

The electricity import and export of individual countries fluctuates constantly. A nice map with live data can be found here: https://app.electricitymap.org/map (in German).

Dealing with the instability of solar and wind energy is very complex and requires numerous measures, such as better integration of wide-area electricity grids, more electricity storage, more generation reserves, etc.

But even nuclear power generation is dependent on the weather. During heat waves, nuclear power plants located on rivers in Germany and France repeatedly had to shut down because there was not enough cooling water available or the water in the rivers would otherwise have become too warm.[1] During cold spells, nuclear power plants had sometimes to be shut down because the supply of cooling water was no longer guaranteed due to ice.[2]

OK, his SEME bias analysis is based on recruiting people through a "passive monitoring system," which recorded SERP rankings over time (what Epstein deems "ephemeral experiences"). Participants' SERP rankings, and raw HTML of each of the top X links, were stored on Epstein's servers. He then had "online workers" (likely mturk?) rate each archived page as pro-Trump or Clinton.[0]

He submitted a paper on this in June 2021 to the AABSS but they have yet to publish it. He also has 5 other, earlier SEME papers submitted for publication.[1]

I appreciate you going the distance on providing these links but I'm loath to trust this data until it's been peer-reviewed.

His AIBRT presentation[2] has some seemingly spurious logic. Here's one slide: https://i.imgur.com/t4rGv3e.png

The graph depicts 300k undecided voters resolving to a party over time. Here's Epstein talking about it:

> ...by the time we hit election day, we have an enormous gap - more than 100,000 people - between the conservatives and liberals. And we've created that gap with our biased search results.

Assigning that movement to a single cause seems unlikely to me.

His presentation does include a relevant WSJ article titled "Google Workers Discussed Tweaking Search Function to Counter Travel Ban."[3] That's not "red-handed," since they didn't do it, but it's very relevant. HN at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18036353

> It doesn’t matter what your stated vs. revealed preference is when that preference doesn’t matter to the status quo.

You're saying if every single voter in America had showed up for say, Bernie Sanders and similar minded Congressional candidates in 2016, it would have made 0 difference to the status quo? Barring widespread election fraud, I find that hard to believe. There are so many single-issue voters for stuff like abortion, guns, or religion; where are all the single-issue climate change voters?

> Every country /didn’t/ come to an agreement on CFCs, that’s how

China has signed the Montreal Protocols. Any emitters there are in violation of Chinese law. Presumably these particular emitters are either well-connected or particularly careful to hide their activities (or both). The point is that by and large, collective international action has worked.

> They were not more reasonable, the system and incentives were simply different

Fair enough. Voters were perhaps less single issue and polarized back then than they are now, and there were fewer political consequences to enacting necessary legislation.

I think the problem is the distribution. SOME government employees (at least in Canada) are seen as being paid too much because the pay is clustered really closely together and often don’t reflect market pay.

I am actually currently working on exactly this. It will allow you to view the statistics for make/model/engine/ year etc. Unfortunately I have found it more challenging to make an accurate AI model without the MOT history though, as the MOT history gives a reasonably complete picture of the cars life. So far I have found the averages to be the best predictor when just using a cars make, model, current miles and age, as opposed to any AI model. I have a few ideas left to try though to attempt to improve it!

StarLink is probably a failed financial model before it is even completed. They aren't the first-mover, either. HughesNet provides better service at a lower price, and they only have to keep 3 satellites operating at outer orbit.

StarLink is trying to reduce ping by flying thousands of satellites at low orbit. The problem? No matter what you do, the ping will be worse, and cost more money, than broadband.

The developing world will never be able to pay for StarLink at a price high enough to replace thousands of satellites every 5 years. SpaceX will depend on users from rich countries to pay exorbitant fees, and users in those countries already have access to cheaper, faster broadband.

So, it may be that StarLink will go the way of SolarCity and need to be bailed out by another Musk company.

This is like asking if we should put protein into the water supply. You can’t just dump a bunch of psyllium husk into the water supply. It won’t make it through the water supply and come out of the tap on customers’ homes. It will just gunk up the city pipes, pumps, etc.

If it did somehow work it would make the water supply disgusting to drink and unusable for many domestic purposes.
I think the Arthur C Clarke quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" should perhaps be amended to "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from nature" it doesn't quite have the same ring to it but it's probably more truthful, at least for very, very, very advanced technology.

That thread has hundreds of legit replies with bugs (that are impossible to read on desktop Twitter from what I can tell). I saw a few cases of "I published an article about our challenges supporting Safari, the team reached out and then ghosted us", like http://blog.apps.npr.org/2021/08/31/joy-generator.html. Search for Safari on that page... oof.

Dear Safari team, the first step in fixing any problem is to admit that you have one. Please internally acknowledge that Safari has _lots_ of issues like these and has a reputation problem among web developers. It's not just people hating on Safari and being ignorant, I would love to support Safari better, but it's just so frustrating in practice and when filing bugs they seem to go into a black hole. I think a big problem is that bugs seemingly get duplicated into some internal system where there might be some discussion going on, but none of that is visible to the rest of the world and it creates that black hole perception and lack of back and forth discussion with the people who are reporting these issues.
Sure, largely because the press are more interested in negative stories, because they generate more "engagement" and outrage and sell ad impressions and clicks.

Education in the US absolutely has issues, including the textbook pricing racket shown in this very thread. But at the same time, there's no question that the US has some absolutely fantastic universities and that the quality of education you can receive here is very high. I say "can receive" because obviously not all universities are equal, or even all programs within a given university. Still, all of those people flock here for grad school for a reason.

Note that I'm mainly talking about post-secondary education. Primary and secondary education in the US has a very tremendous degree of variance from state to state and is generally not seen as being in the upper echelon internationally.
I understand the point, but I don't see how companies can be "nationalist", or think in "their country's interests". They only care about money and who knows who really control any corporation with the size that a competing social network service would require?
