Flunked comp Sci, but I can give you my understanding.

They have noticed a behavior of quantum systems, and they can now reproduce it.

This is interesting because a) being able to reproduce it means you can study it, and thus possible better understand it. And b) it may allow you to better manipulate at the quantum level and thus learn other things.

Who knows, perhaps it will prove something so useful that a whole now era of human history is based on it (like the tunnel effect gave us transistors).. but no-one is saying that.
Fantastic analogy with social media to tobacco, both seemed innocent at first, then as more research surfaced with tobacco causing lung cancer and now social media causing depression/anxiety in teens and adults, hopefully now we can actually view social media like the disease it is and come to some solution involving regulation.
Right, but shouldn't society cater to the humans that live in it, rather than demonstrably incorrect mathematical models of the same humans?

"Do you think that a bank or a government would've handled fixing such a flaw as well has optimism did?"

It's irrelevant. We don't use 'algorithms as ownership' in the real world. We use social agreements like contract law to undo problems.

"All tokenization schemes are ponzi scams including USD, it's just that some use violence to stay relevant, and other use bug bounties."

We use the law to maintain civil infrastructure. Yes, if someone wants to murder you or someone else, or launder billions, we'll use violence to stop them.

An algorithm that is effectively used as a Pyramid Scheme is not going to save your from anything.

The comments in this thread accurately reflect my own personal journey with CORS. Like waves on the shore, my confidence in my understanding of the protocol ebbs and flows with the orbit of the Moon.

Getting CORS right involves a couple days of forgetting what I think I know, closely reading how it works (again), writing up a custom middleware for whatever web framework I’m using that time because the OOTB middlewares always have subtle bugs (usually with the Origin header), and then essentially forgetting about it for the next few years.
You can just put it a whole math practice problem and solve it (with pen and paper, outside of the app), then mark it in the app.

I suspect this happens less often than people think. Most elephant races are up hills and are at speeds significantly under the demonstrated maximum of the truck on level ground. I routinely get passed by tractor/trailers when I'm doing 65mph in the right lane of the freeway with my travel trailer. Even a slight incline and I end up blowing right past them.

My guess is that two fully loaded trucks just have a similar maximum speed in a given power-limited situation, and when combined with the natural desire to not give up even 1 mph of hard-won kinetic energy, we end up with elephant races.
Agreed re: terminology. The term micro makes everyone attempt to make too many tiny services. Gotta be micro!
The HN comments section is far less knowledgeable than generally perceived. (I realized this after seeing comments made on some topics I think I've reached domain expertise on and realizing there's a lot of confident opinions thrown around that's just plain incorrect.)

As soon as I read the headline I knew exactly what game it was, and, having never played it, I only really know it for "the wargame with special rules for Italian pasta".

Yes, but that's not what we're discussing, because then I can counter with:

"Would you sell your mother or your children at any price?"

And I hope - admittedly, that's speculation - I know what the answer to that would be.

So this is now an absurd discussion, whereas it started off from a rational point of view: there exist such people whose ethics can not be corrupted. The fact that you believe this is not the case says nothing about people in general.
There's a lot of approaches for various subsystems. The cameras that you mention are quite-likely some kind of serialized MIPI (e.g., using some generation of FPDlink or GMSL to tunnel asymmetrical bidirectional data across a micro-coax cable). An SOC somewhere (often the same one driving the display) will receive the deserialized MIPI streams and do whatever video processing is desired and display the output stream. The display is typically eDP or sometimes HDMI.

Old-school hardware that doesn't have large bandwidth requirements will usually use CAN, a multi-drop bus that is capable of up to 1000 kbps but is typically used at 125, 250, or 500 kbps. Its advantage is simple UTP cabling. Its disadvantage is that it's a planned bus - you need to have termination resistors in known locations and you have to plan the addresses of devices in advance. It's kind of brittle and the tiny packet size means folks jump through hoops to send larger blobs of data. This is probably one of the great barriers to being able to buy some random car part from a manufacturer as Joe Q Public and use it. The OEM is used to making lightly-customized firmware for every customer.

A typical car is a mix of hub-and-spoke topology and a daisy chain. There will be a handful of CAN buses that go to various devices around the car. You might have a CAN-connected cabin controller that has a bunch of motor control chips for seat adjustments and seat heaters or window heaters and which daisy chains with door controllers and mirror controllers on the cabin bus. There might be another daisy chain in the engine compartment; one device might control the HVAC system and another controls the engine. Usually the hub is some higher-performance device or at minimum a gateway that taps each of the various low-speed buses and is used to provide a firmware flashing and diagnostic gateway. That's increasingly frequently the same computer that runs the infotainment system. So let's say you're at the end of the factory line, you can plug in a thumb drive via USB or drop an Ethernet connection to the car and rapidly upload all the firmware blobs to the infotainment computer and it'll run a program that passes all of them along to the various widgets.

10Base-T1{S,L} might start to displace CAN in some of these widgets so long as MCUs and PHYs are very cheap. 100Base-T1 has already seen some adoption in things like backup cameras that use chips that also implement video compression and streaming. I believe BMW and Mercedes started using standard Ethernet for their diagnostic gateway and then bridged to 100Base-T1 internally between their higher-bandwidth widgets since ~2007. Personally, I'd love it if everything ended up on faster IP networks and no longer needed custom firmware on a per-implementation basis.

As of a few months ago, I am no longer in the automotive business.

Ask HN: Account has been permanently suspended from Reddit
Just got the dreaded message "Your account has been permanently suspended from Reddit.", with no prior warnings or any idea on why this may have happened. Attempted to search through my history, but nothing stands out, and my 10K+ "karma" on both sides of Reddit participation (submissions and comments) makes me think that I have not really done anything warranting a ban.

Found two older accounts of mine, which I used for some tests on old phones, quite a while ago, and as soon as I logged in I got the same message: "Your account has been permanently suspended from Reddit."

Anyone having experienced this?
- Seed investors don't care a lot about the team. They care only about the traction or that they have friends in common with the founders.

- Building what your users say will make you create a product that nobody wants to use. People don't know what they want or need. If you want to create good products, listen to your users but don't built what they say
It strikes me as the analogous to the invention (in semiconductors) of the diode. Why would you want to have a one way valve for electrons? It's not immediately apparent but it's one more building block in the set.
Does W11 in a VM mean you could effectively dock your phone into a monitor and use it as a proper PC with shared filesystem access to all your Android stuff?
I kind of agree with some of this - but not the conclusion you seem to have drawn.

The most nefarious weapon invented previously has been around for 75+ years and was developed as far as to reach the capability of completely destroying all human life in a matter of minutes. But... it never has.

And this is despite it being repeatedly under the control of those whom are arguably the worlds greatest and most inhumane psychopaths.

That is, there must be something in human nature, or the nature of life itself, that prevents it from using technology to annihilate itself with it, even when such power is given to those most likely to use it for that.

Not to say there isn't a danger, even a great one. And I could understand being disillusioned by the present state of affairs. But, as with all such dualism, there exists just as strong a pull to catapult the other way.

Just as there were greater, bloodier and more heinous wars prior to the invention of nuclear weapons, it would seem that with such mastery of destruction comes a greater responsibility - that ultimately we rise to embrace.
I highly recommend the book "Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order" for helping see the big picture. I am also saddened by the state of the world, particularly in regards to inequality which I think is the source of many problems. After reading the book, I realized that social media (or the internet in general) is a technology like any other and the countries that can harness its power for good will likely lead the next century. For instance, a country that sets aside short term profits from anxiety inducing ads and instead focuses on inspiring its people will win in the long run. Same for crypto, it is just technology and it depends on people to put it to good or bad uses. We've been fortunate to live through extremely easy times, but that is the exception not the rule. Think about how people must have felt during WWII or the Great Depression or any of the other countless tragedies we've faced. They also probably though the world was ending, but at the end of the day most people figured out a way to work together to get through it. Finally, be careful when reading news because almost everything you read has an agenda behind it.
I put Amazon and Facebook into two opposed categories. FB may well be negative, but Amazon gave us excellent breadth of selection and logistics, very good e-readers, excellent HDMI-output android devices, flexible and easy utility computing, and probably several other broad categories that I’m not thinking of at the moment.

I think Amazon has added a ton of value to end-users. (No affiliation with Amazon.)

Hahah, alright. I'll grant you that. The lock:CORS metaphor was tenuous at inception, and now it is truly vaporized.
There's more value in making tech cheaper than making it better. VR and AR are still not ready for primetime because the hardware required isn't cheap enough to be commodity yet. Most of the stuff we make is trivial, a lot of it is actually harmful to the world and shockingly little is really worldchanging or meaningful.

Things like Webpack and Babel make life harder, not easier, and so do most frameworks, because you end up spending half your time trying to get around the stuff that's made for large-scale - a lot of React is like trying to use nanotech to make a coffee table.

Almost all social networks are garbage and make the world awful and are very bad at their stated goal while being very good at their actual goal, which is creepy, invasive marketing.

We probably peaked as an industry when Google Reader came out. :-D

Remember that autonomy and "intelligence" aren't necessarily related.

We could probably have a fully autonomous auto fleet with current/available technologies, if we adapt the roads, rules and such.

I was surprised at the step down in quality at 59. Definitely worried about other lower qualities of life and thinking about how long it could last.

Yeah, I'd rather money be put into quality rather than quantity of life.
In my post-mortem I go into this a bit: someone had actually triggered the bug (on accident while debugging the Etherscan block explorer) but it hadn't been noticed by anyone (and the person at Etherscan didn't realize the ramifications). I believe, due to the atypical mechanism used to store the account balance state on Optimism (which is discussed in detail in my post-mortem as this is also what I claim to be the root cause of the bug), it would have taken quite a long time to notice someone taking advantage of this issue if they weren't being egregiously ostentatious with it (and even then it would have taken "too long" before tons of extremely-difficult-or-arguably-even-impossible-to-unwind economic confusion and damage would have resulted as the whole ecosystem is so heavily automated).

His response to some of the reactions he's getting:

Even after all these years, Twitter still surprises me. This is the tweet that makes people accuse me of lying and announce that they're unfollowing me? People are that attached to business plans and balance sheets? How completely mystifying.

The reason I don't care about business plans is that I can learn more from 5 minutes of interrogating the founders than from 10 pages of fluff they've written.

The reason I don't care about balance sheets is the same reason I don't care who's leading 100 yards into a marathon.

> You are somehow wrongly assuming that only same-origin requests exist or are needed.

No they are not making that assumption.
The misleading statement (which has a bogus citation) is in the introduction. Your quote is in the body of the article. It isn't great.
The Internet, while being humanity's most impressive invention thus far, has caused more harm than good. I don't think it will be our downfall, but it will continue to rapidly degrade society; I mean fuck, look what happened in the span of a decade. We didn't evolve to be in a global community, we simply can't handle it.

To expand on the above a little: it's not nostalgia, the Internet was better when most of the general populace didn't have access to it. Gatekeeping works. It was better when people had to dig a little and learn the mores of a community before joining it. Mobile phones and easy access to the Internet destroyed all this.

As mentioned, CORS isn't designed to protect against requests where the response isn't read by another origin's JS. Even with fetch I think you could "bypass" CORS to the same extent as this example by passing the "no-cors" mode.

This is just a CSRF issue, which is well understood and easily fixed with a CSRF/authenticity token.

Also, GET requests should not have side effects like sending an email. A reasonable default seen in some frameworks is GET requests have no side effects and don't require CSRF tokens, while all other verbs do.
Maybe the bubble has popped and this isn't such a hot take any more.

That is an obscure comparison. Toilets fulfilled a very real issue. When did you last get cholera?

Most tech does not serve any real utility like this. Beyond generating money through increasingly deceitful means, what does Google do nowadays? The search engine has helped turn the internet into white noise. It has essentially become the obstacle it was designed to bypass.

If it wasn't for extremely targeted and manipulative advertising a lot of tech products wouldn't have a place in the world at all.
Aside from the immaturity of the talent pool and tooling I mentioned in another comment, I think the embedded domain is incredibility slow to change.

My team have in the last decade spearheaded initiatives like adopting Agile, C++ (subset) use, Git (as opposed to SVN/proprietary) and extensive use of modern code hosting and CIs and we've met with a lot of resistance in our company (and those we work with). I've also interviewed lots of experienced embedded engineers, e.g. automotive, who have never heard of Agile or used Git.

I think it's a fear of change (risk) and also that the embedded engineering domain is so closely tied to hardware development, which is even slower to change.

I will agree to a point. "Micro" isn't the way we should go, more of a "Macro" approach. Instead of a small service that handles one function, give me a medium service that handles a specific domain, e.g. OAuth, data retention, marketing concerns, etc. And with that said, lumping everything into a single monolith is a bad idea.
