The sample mean of a Normal RV does tend towards the population expected value, sure.

The GP comment is talking about a Cauchy RV, which has heavy tails. So it has enough probability mass at large values that the expected value is infinite. Discarding constant scale factors, in this case:

E[X] = Int{0..infty} x * p(x) dx
= Int{0..infty} x * (1/x^2) dx
= Int{0..infty} (1/x) dx
= +infty

So, the sample mean of Cauchy random variates will not converge to any real number.
Imprisoned for Your Safety
It might be worth looking at a generic Callable with your own generic response type, maybe something like Either where Left is an error and Right is your response type.

I'd wrap an executor into a provider. Make it accept a WorkItem and the method accepting WorkItem would construct the Callable.

I would suggest looking into an optimal way of doing this in, say, Scala and try to replicate some of those learnings in Java. Mind you - I didn't say "write it in Scala". I did say "try in a different language" and take the learnings from there. Scala Future is a good thing to look at.
It doesn't change the fact that none of this information on how TSMC, etc. actually produce at scale is written anywhere in english (or even in a book). These are intensely guarded trade secrets and you're going to need to start working with and around these companies to even begin to comprehend how what they do is possible.
This is silly, glorious and the exact definition of a great hack. I love it.
I’m curious as to why so many major sites are not working. I would expect them to be behind some kind of cloud load balancer which automatically brings IPv6?
Yes, and so do all the managers and stockers that I've known over the course of my decade of stocking shelves.
So in short: humanism.
I think they know that, there’s no need to repeat the obvious just because it will make ourselves feel better.

People fuck up, it’s just a matter of when, and when we do it’s better to help and hope that some day you’ll be helped in turn.
How are exact match searches supported? There is absolutely no evidence on the page that this is possible.

How does searching for “brad knowles” match “brad alan knowles”, when I put my name in quotes? How does it match a case where “brad knowles” does not appear to be used anywhere on the page, but where one line matches “knowles” and then another line matches “brad”?
I live in San Francisco, and while I largely agree with you, one of the larger challenges is the lack of accountability for the organisations and the staff that provide services to the poor and homeless. It seems they spend more money doing a lousy job than providing the services to a higher standard so more of the poorer people can get the assistance they need and find good, stable jobs.
I don't maintain it in general. Not much work on my end, about the only thing that's failed is if someone whitelists the supported platforms somewhere.

It works quite well.
Lots of commenters rushing to chastise the user for not taking pro-active steps to preserve content, since your Google account (or any cloud account once a provider decides you've violated their Terms of Service) may go "poof".

Wouldn't it be nice if the platforms themselves helped out with this, instead of luring their users into a false sense of security?
> "the cloud" isn't a panacea for your storage needs.

Except that is exactly how cloud companies market themselves. That is exactly what cloud companies have been telling consumers for a decade+.

Right up to the point of commercials showing someone lose a device and saying “no worries, it’s all in the cloud!”, etc. We’ve been told for years that our data is safer in the cloud than it is on our own devices. That the cloud itself IS the backup system.

Normal people didn’t just arrive at this conclusion on their own. They were fed it directly from the companies that we are all now supposed to just innately understand are not to be trusted with our data.
As long as they are public, there is probably no problems. Though I'm not sure how they respond to low popularity content.

Still, safest option might be to use unconnected account for it.
Or just keep browsing and never interact with the dialog.
I think there’s a misunderstanding of the data _here_. The underlying data are indeed a DEM, distributed as a single band geotiff file. There’s no R, G, or B, just elevation. The linked tutorial is simply how to take those data and convert them to a format that can be visualized on screen _using_ R, G, and B values derived from the formula you posted in a child comment.
Show HN: Structured data medical notes via voice recognition
The article (and Epic) don’t seem to answer the basic question of what changed that made them take this step. It alludes to a difficult labor market, so I’m guessing that’s the reason but it’s not clearly stated why the company decided to make this change now and what criteria it used for making these offers.
I'm sorry! Though it did feel very wrapped up with the end corresponding with the end of the war. Personally I hope he does the Korean or Vietnam war eventually. I had very little insight into WWI until listening to his podcasts, and I think those could lend themselves to very interesting episodes.
I switched to photoprism a while ago, after having been a long time digikam user. Not being web based was becoming more and more of an annoyance. Heck, even using it on more than one PC with a shared db was a hassle.

Photoprism definitely isn't there yet feature-wise, its facial recognition is sub-par compared to digikam, it's sometimes sluggish for one reason or another, but generally speaking I like the vision and where it's going. I'm sponsoring the project, as it's basically a one-man- (and one woman) show and they like to make it their full time jobs. I like the idea, although it's still a relatively rare thing in the open source world. Currently they seem somewhat overehelmed though.
The classic Carver Mead book deserves a mention.
From a bit later in the trip is a photo from the shore of Manicouagan Reservoir. According to Wikipedia [1], it's an annular lake formed about 214 million years ago by the impact of a meteor 5 km in diameter. It has an outer diameter of about 72 km, and it's "the Earth's sixth-largest confirmed impact crater according to rim-to-rim diameter", and one of the oldest known.

Horrible answer but 100% correct.
I'm not convinced that long-term thinking isn't a strategy that can be taught. Cognitive traits may make it come naturally to some people, but I would describe it as more of a "habit" than an "ability"

Meh, the alternative is Google closes their North Carolina office and moves back to Mountain View. You're right, it does suck, but you can't have it both ways.
I mean, for how long? Like I said, we had a long period of time without ITW exploits for browsers. That has ended. I'm sure costs are higher today than they were before, but I'm not convinced that the economic incentives won't ultimately lead to another blackhole.

No it doesn't. I think you're misunderstanding the site. It deliberately uses a weird banded colour scale so you can see where height changes on a fine scale.

They didn't interpret the data wrong.
It would. I hope people here work towards their companies regularly warning their customers that any content stored on their services can be gone any day without any warning.
How can this do anything but stir up bad feelings with existing workers?
Train.
IPv6 clients can be backward compatible, servers aren't.

There shouldn't really be any rush to move servers into IPv6, it's end users' ISPs that should. Somehow things are happening completely backwards.

Modern one-time pad encryption in C++ and Go
Keeping mind that, if you have an RCE bug, any other class of bug is irrelevant. It's a bit like diagnosing someone with the flu after their head has been cut off. And while acknowledging that you're not personally weighing in either way, I will personally call the idea that you'll end up with just as many bugs of a weaker class to be quite silly. Everyone starts as unfamiliar in every language, but not every language makes it equally easy to accidentally introduce vulnerabilities. Defaults matter, tooling matters, and community norms matter, and all of these make it less likely for a low-quality Rust programmer to introduce vulnerabilities than even a medium-quality C programmer.
This is cool. My only issue is that the bands are completely symmetrical so you can distinguish increases and decreases in height.
There are a number of organizations out there who think they are airgapped. And then some employee in the basement decides he needs to run a test while he's on the road, or monitor the water treatment plant from home because he's been exposed to COVID and can't come in, so he gets his buddy to install an LTE hotspot and boom! Now the company's not airgapped any more.

It's a special kind of naive to assume that airgapping is a technological problem rather than a human behavior problem.
Webex got better under pressure from others but it's what we used at first and the CEO of my mid size employer got talked into zoom near the beginning of covid and it was just very easy to use and much less problematic than webex which we used before but didn't need nearly as much so we put up with its faults. Then covid hit and zoom just worked better despite the encryption debacle.
Which part of the text on the site gave you the impression they made this misinterpretation? It clearly explains what its visualizing and why it looks like that, and has nothing to do with what you claim is their mistake.

But of course you said something negative about the content, so clearly it has to be the top comment on HN, can't have that otherwise...
Your link is a link to the YouTube site, not the video.
An exploit that achieves remote code execution just by a browser performing an HTTP request (for example a malicious ad) would be considered a zero-click exploit.

> If those people could move into positions that can pay better, they already would have done so, no?

No, because those positions pay the same as what they're currently getting, but not how much they would pay with a higher minimum wage. The context is that a person's current position is unprofitable under a higher minimum wage, but other positions would not be, thus their wage ends up boosted even if it means getting a new position.

Furthermore, targeted automation has tended to increase employment in other industries, historically.
Sounds like either side was complicit in the matter. Again, I know it's not an easy pill to swallow (I anticipate both these comments will be dead or grey in time), but that's just how computers work. All the effort we put into abstraction is worthless if it allows (or in this case, encourages) the end-user to make catastrophic mistakes.
Should not creators already have local copies of videos they upload to YouTube?
Maybe leave out the harsh?
Cool, I will definitely look it up.
To be fair, the rise of these arbitrary AI-based deletions with no recourse are a drastic shift in how Google treats its users, and most people who don't work in tech or follow HN haven't caught on yet.

And why should they? Google actively markets itself as trustworthy. Unless you know someone who has been burned, the average non-professional YouTube user who just thought it was a sensible way to host their videos would not be aware of the pattern.
I think that's exactly it
So did Writely (which would become Google Docs). WordPress was created in 2003. Wikipedia was created in 2001. I'm not sure why the web3 crew doesn't seem to think there were any legit uses for the web after 15 years.
Sounds like it's worth trying out.

I was disappointed to see that the official macOS install is multiuser, and you have to apparently work around that if you don't want the full daemon/root-level install. I'd want the install to be really simple and unintrusive.
> But that's what they've tested.

https://pre-commit.com/ helps with that.

> It would be quite fun if we could have hierarchical commits, so I could add bits to a commit without having to squash/amend.

Yes! I've been saying this for years.

Branch merge commits are already this, kind of. However their UI sucks and there's an idea gap which prevents them from being fully understood as such "supercommits" composed of subcommits.

For one, the user should be forced to give meaningful, high level commit messages for merge commits and the tooling should fold commits made on a merge branch into the merge commit by default (effectively linearizing the merged history).
If YouTube decided that they didn’t want to host 700 unlisted videos that’s perfectly within their right; however, if that is the case then they should tell the user why their videos are being taken down with a deadline for them to download their videos. It would be wrong for YouTube to claim your videos are “cyberbullying” just so they can free up some space.
Nice idea though I think the color scheme could be made a lot more intuitive without losing the progress in contrast. Muddy brown for near-sea level doesn't do it for me.

Blues - Slightly above sea level

Green - Above that

Brown - Low mountains

Orange/purple - high mountains

Red - below sea level (i.e. danger)
It doesn't count as a Dyson swarm until it captures a large percentage of the sun's output. As I said, that science and the computational power needed to coordinate those kinds of orbital mechanics are beyond us.
I thought Web 3.0 (capital 'C', space, dot zero) was the semantic web which didn't catch on, except a few microformats and maybe podcasting. This is a critique of web3 (lower 'c', no space, no dot zero). And I'd say it's a rather even handed take on a decentralized web.
Absolutely not. A vanishingly tiny percent ever click on the terms link.
They should. And if they don't it is clear the video have no future value for them. So why should it have for anyone else?
Many people have a naive trust of free services. If your livelyhood/business depends on uploaded files, do not trust Facebook, Youtube, Gmail, Google docs, etc to store it forever.

I think it's important to mention that such trust is misplaced and risky, ALWAYS make backups. Sure it's generally common sense for many, but the OPs story is a nice example.
> It's different from the article's actual title though - which I thought was an anti-pattern for HN.

Just so. I have no problem if an author so titles their blog post, but, when that's not the actual title, it seems unlike HN to change it.
The grandparent’s post sounds like it was written towards the OP, though, not everyone else.

If that weren’t the case, I agree with you, it’s a good message to spread.
"brad knowles" - 14 results returned. The exact phrase is found in each.

brad knowles - 1925 results returned, which include results with brad and knowles in the text, where close proximity cases are ranked higher. Results with brad and knowles further apart will be ranked toward the bottom.

When you use quotes above, I'm not sure if that means what's in quotes above is what you searched or that you searched with quotes, but based on these checks and what I see, exact match searches as well as weighting without use of exact match quotes is working correctly.
Congratulations, you've missed the point entirely. No one is trying to literally judge how trustworthy the people actually are. I'm not sure how you got confused there.
Or mars colony!
I’ve been waiting for years for companies to figure out that internal promotion yields huge benefits over outside hiring.

If you promote a temp to a full-time, it’s going to be successful 99% of the time because you already know the work ethic of the employee. Better yet, you get to skimp on training. If you hire someone from the outside, the chance is much lower that you’ll get a solid hire.

What I’m saying isn’t new - companies promote from within all the time. What I’m advocating for is to codify the practice - only hire your software devs from your QA testers. Not only does putting that pipeline in place ensure better devs but you also make the QA job more attractive as a reliable stepping stone. I’ve seen this suggestion swatted down at multiple companies.
Oilslick was made with elevation data. In the the middle of the text in the left-hand panel, the author wrote:

> The cycling and purity of colors looks a lot like a thin-film interference pattern, hence the name: oilslick. This could be a point of confusion for my more GIS-educated viewers: the pattern is easily mistaken for the raw result of radar interferometry elevation mapping [0] (which was the method used to produce most of the data in this dataset). But this is not the case; what you see here is final, post-processed elevation data.

When the minimum wage increases and labor participation also increases the minimum wage price was below the market clearing value.
You can put 3 commas after your name to search for an exact match, eg brad knowles,,,
There are no benefits and only costs associated with going ipv6 or dual stack.

If hacker news can’t be bothered why should anyone bother?

The main major wins for ipv6 have been management networks that have gone past the limits of private ipv4 ranges (comcast and mobiles devices).

But what advantages do the servers have to switching?
Why not leave me in prison then if we're certain I'm going to do it again?

If the chance of me doing embezzlement is the same after I come out of prison than if I had never been to prison, what is the basis for caring whether or not someone has been to prison?

This assumes a justice system that works, at least in the sense that if you commit a crime and get prosecuted, the following actions are sufficient to prevent or deter you from doing it again, which given things like plea deals, etc. is not.

If we just want to reduce our justice system to a social credit verifier and background check database maintainer, or if this is really the best that can be dne, fine, let's admit that so we can try to do it a lot more cheaply than what we're doing now.
I think securities-based lending should be subject to income tax too.
You may not be able to distribute the combined work without violating the copyright of the GPL part, even if the other part is not a derivative work of the GPL part. If you really just distribute your part and let the user go and fetch the GPL part by his own means, the FSF has absolutely no say (and this is kind of what most propietary .ko kind of do); but if you also distribute the GPL part to the user...

I.e. if you never distribute/reproduce the GPL part, then the GPL obviously can not apply; if you distribute the GPL part, then the GPL terms apply to you, even if your work is not derivative, and even if those terms are "you must do the chicken dance so that we give permission to reproduce our software"; after all, that is how most EULAs are enforced. It just happens that in this case the chicken dance comprises some fancy definitions of linking and some extra things you may have to distribute rather than a exchange of money.

Nah, there was a post on HN a month or two ago about YouTube warning they were going to start removing old unlisted videos, and someone on HN pointed out that this would probably affect a lot of companies' training videos
Hate to nit pick but... the Ariston advert used the C64's version of the Robocop theme (slowed down a bit) - not the Speccy's as the article implies. Maybe it was originally composed on the speccy?

I got a cheap Vic20 when I was wee, so I never thought much of the rubber doorstep and was never a fan of Sinclair as he was seemingly some aristocrat who was gifted a commercial niche below the BBC Micro (as bbc/acorn didn't bother making a budget model until the slightly borked Acorn Electron). But in recent years I notice that the Spectrum demo scene has become fantastic, in artistry and possibly superior in code wizardry to the C64s own bedazzling competition. The retro Spectrum scene is producing surprising games and a game capable multicolor mode was even invented a few years back which was truly unimaginable back in the day. More groundbreaking than late c64 inventions. So fair dues neighbor... but come off it, speccy music in a big TV advert?? :}
> My guess would maybe be 100M+ cases per year.

If this is close then that blows my mind. That would be roughly 1 court case per ~2.5 american adults per year.
But then most exploits that involve sending links would also be zero-click, just not deployed in that manner.

I think this just goes to show how silly this new terminology is.
I think it's different for good now. Detection is better, response is better. The exploits used in blackhole would be patched really quickly, and detected really quickly.

I think it would be detected quickly because the most likely payload dropped would be ransomware. which makes it immediately obvious to users they got owned. I don't think it would take longer than a day to discover a zero day exists in $BROWSER once a group starts a campaign using it.

All software distributors that expose attack surface to a large consumer base have all had plenty of time to learn how to deal with a major security hole that needs to be patched asap. Once a researcher tweets about a 0day in $BROWSER, there'll be an incomplete patch 1 day later. 4 days later the final patch is out. Auto updates ensure every user has the patch the moment they go online.

But I do think we can still see a CCG using a browser exploit to infect people, but I don't think we'd see exploits packaged and sold inside exploit kits.

This is just sad and frustrating to read for multiple reasons.
I'm an all or nothing kind of person (though less so as I get older). When I'm immersed in a project, I don't want to take much leisure time, I want to keep going. So i prefer intense project work without downtime, and then real vacation where there is nothing hanging over me, vs force breaks when there is work to be done. I consider that to be "work life balance"
It doesn't have to balance every week, or even every year. I don't know if that model can work for you with the constraints of your job, just something to consider.
Except they literally judging trustworthiness, so there's that.

What part of 'they are judging trustworthiness' do you not get?

It's not an abstraction, that's what they are doing.
OP said that the videos were unlisted, so that makes it extremely unlikely they can be found on archive.org, unless they were linked from somewhere else.
