Why Dark Forest Matters: A Good Game, Not a Crypto Game
A good corollary might be: "use very specific names for custom types."
This holds true for any optimization process. You have more money to save cutting costs by a little from your biggest expense than cutting costs by a lot from a small expense.
Hardly related to the OP, and Telegram secret chats have been audited multiple times.

On the other hand, Signal's "E2E" encrypted chats regularly have critical bugs such as those that send private image content to random people on your contacts list, an utterly inexcusable error that suggests poor engineering standards. [1]

I think I'll take audited E2E encryption over E2E encryption that fans out private images at random to your contacts.

Tensorflow 2 came out in 2019 and so that blog post really does not answer why PyTorch is better than Tensorflow from a technical standpoint. From the author's point of view, it makes clear sense because of the popularity of PyTorch over Tensorflow.
Hi HN, author here -- Dark Forest is a massively-multiplayer real-time strategy game. It's also a game that runs on the blockchain...! As a gamer first & developer working in the web3 space second, I was skeptical when I first tried it, but was quickly won over. Happy to answer any questions about the post!

This is seriously scary. I'd hope any NATO response to a cyberattack is in-kind, it seems really foolhardy to escalate a physical war over a cyberattack.
This is a video outlining why the greek financial crisis happened, and why it's mainly due to it being a low-trust society: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=404IeUzGNZ4

Premise’s Response to Allegations of Influence in Ukraine
Also agreed, but I think there's a difference between a pessimistic opinion (alarmist) and one that will induce panic. I'm not going to try and classify this particular Twitter use in either category though-- I don't have the knowledge of this situation required for that-- so my comment is intended in the general sense, not this user.
The article makes it pretty clear that the exercise is a conversation, not a test. It’s not just seeing what they know, it’s finding out if they can carry on a pleasant conversation. It’s finding out if they can discuss a technical topic beyond telling the other person to “Google it.” In many organizations a Senior is responsible for helping the Juniors become Seniors — a responsibility not well suited to the autonomous lone wolf.
Russia's excuse so far is that their Jewish president is a Nazi. There's no reason to worry about what excuses they can create in the future.
The logic of "remote first" is that there's no need to be located near the people we spend our lives interacting with, since we can just mediate all interactions via the internet. Why would that stop with work? Personally I have already taken that leap in a large part of my personal life; my desire to "shoot the shit" is not fulfilled by the topics on offer at the local bar, so I come to HN and Reddit. Also my friends from past in-person school and work are scattered to the winds; I mainly interact with them via the internet too.

Schools are taking the leap. If commuting is obsolete then catchment areas are stone age. Education is poised to finally free itself from the Achilles heel that has plagued its entire existence: the fact that other children in the room are more interesting than the lesson. It's poised to be a renaissance -- in student performance broadly, but especially in equity, whether other students being disruptive or creating an anti-learning social climate are the actual nuts-and-bolts makings of a "bad school." There's no reason any Zoom school should be bad, no matter its student body, since students should have no influence on each other's experiences. Room and board costs for college will be a thing of the past; even the parking dramas that plague commuter students seem silly now.

Now of course human beings can't be "on" 100% of the time; there are also downtime activities like going for walks, playing with pets, and consuming media. Maintenance activities like cooking, cleaning, and exercise. It's true that remote workers, remote students, and remote socializers also partake in these activities. But I don't think that's life. I think the things you do with the majority of your focus and energy, with the majority of your daylight hours, are life. And while it works, I think it's really sad if if all those things are "sit in your home and look at at a screen."

Now perhaps you want to keep "remote" in a box that's just work, and do the other things in person. But tell me this. If you're going to live where there are good schools and plenty of like-minded friends, why not also work together in person there? And if you're going to live any old place, without any good schools or a reliable supply of like-minded friends, then how are education or socialization going to happen in person?
They're both in Kyiv, during an interview earlier today Poroshenko asked the west for more help and talked about the steadfastness of his resistance group, which he is fighting with, during the interview he showed off his rifle:

https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2022/02/25/petro-poroshenko...

I recall seeing an image of Zelensky carrying a rifle and wearing tactical gear but can't find it, maybe I misremembered that. He is in Kyiv though, unless he shot this video and left immediately: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/25/world/europe/ukraine-zele...
That’s exactly why it’s such a bad interview question, regardless of how “fundamental” it is to a website, changing the HTML <head> tags will never be within the new hire’s scope of work.

They will basically never ever in their entire career need to do this.

It’s like hiring a C++ developer by quizzing them on random gcc flags. These are things that make up 0.00001% of the total work produced by the dev.

Barking at the wrong tree. Putin threatened Estonia, Letonia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Moldavia, Georgia and Bulgaria. He said Ukraine shouldn't exist as a country and there is no such thing as Ukranians. The guy then threatened Sweden and Finland with military consequences if they join NATO. People that try and minimise this are simply playing into his propaganda. He also threatened the US with consequences it has never seen in its entire history (couldn't have been any other country he could have referred to because the above have seen everything). Belarus’ Lukasenka already said they need to monitor the “situation” all the way to Berlin and requested Russian S400s.
As someone who also has adhd and is a functional procrastinator at times saboteur I'm curious if you could elaborate on your "mind emptying exercises"?
I’ll second you there, my PD 30L pack has been pretty amazing for a year now. It still looks brand new but gets used heavily about 5 days per week.

A year isn’t that much I guess, but I’m always blown away by how durable it has been. It really does look a lot like the day I got it.

Apart from being durable I love the way it looks and the overall utility is hard to beat too. While it isn’t cheap, I can’t see myself needing more from a bag or breaking this one soon enough for the cost per year to seem high relative to other bags I’ve had.

Also worth mentioning is that their customer support is second to none.

I’m just a customer for what it’s worth, not getting paid to say anything about them.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the request here that is what folks are truly asking the Russian population to do. Someone must physically cast Putin down within Russia itself. I agree peaceful protests inside the country will not work.
They are not detectable anyway - if you put a nuclear warhead in a truck, there is no way to detect it from a plane or a satellite,

In fact you probably could put a nuclear bomb inside a lead-lined shipping container and send it from China to US, across all US railways, and back across the world on another ship, and probably no-one would ever know.

Also why would Russia move nukes by land through chernobil, when they have bombers and complete control of the airspace?
I don't necessarily disagree but that doesn't have much to do with my point. Simple or complicated grammar, you as a person having command of it rather than outsourcing it to a tool is a skill you need often.

It's irritating how often people even confuse "your" and "you're" nowadays. Some simplifications are harmless but plenty of them can change meaning. And it seems like texting and autocompletion makes people care less and less.
I think a more exact description is:

On social media groups and public posts, you are named but you are nobody to everyone else.

On forums, you are unnamed but you gather a reputation and become somebody.

(And on HN and Reddit, you are both unnamed AND a nobody.)

And I think it’s because on forums, it was a combination of (1) a smaller community and (2) you had an avatar and sometimes a signature, which made every post of yours memorable.

I'm not going to comment on American ignorance. My statement was in regards to access to information or the ability to speak/publish it without reprisal, specifically in comparison with Russia.

How people make use of that, or ignore it all together, are a separate topic.
Exactly. I think this question is fine. But every question ever asked here gets mocked as stupid by the subsection of people who think its stupid.
I'll second the recommendation of drawabox. That site helped my drawing a lot.
I haven't the least idea what your OP comment was, and was not speaking to it. I do hope you weren't arguing Russia's war is just, or America should let the nukes fly, or some similar poison!

I was simply responding to your interlocutor because I wanted to share a ramble in response to his comment. I am sorry to have offended.
Congrats, man. That's how much I made too and no one asked me either. Doesn't make it a bad question.

Not knowing them will either slow you down in solving a problem (SEO, performance, browser compatibility), or introduce a variety of bugs sooner or later.
> Does that make anti war protests in russia illegitimate ?

According to the Russian authorities, yes. According to me: those people are real heroes, right now it is far more dangerous to join such protests than when the numbers are higher, especially in places like Russia.
... and yet you used an expression that seems unnecessarily idiomatic and parochial (British right?). I can easily imagine someone in Asia struggling to fit that literal expression to your intended meaning.

Technology companies are generally bad at commercializing the fruit of their research divisions. Consider Xerox PARC, Microsoft Research, Nokia Research…
The mechanism varies with the warhead. The PG-7 uses the acceleration from launch to set off a primer. This starts a slow fuse that will cause self-destruct if the grenade doesn't hit a target within a few seconds (so you don't have a live warhead cluttering up the place, requiring an EOD team to dispose of it.) It also burns away a safety plunger that allows the piezo-impact fuze to complete it's circuit and ignite the shaped-charge.

So to get one to detonate manually, you're going to have to simulate the 40-ish Gs of a launch, the delay of flight to allow the safety to disengage (but not so long that the self-destruct happens), and be far enough away to not get injured by the explosion. That's a challenge.

Visa's fact sheet[0] says that they processed about 6500 transactions per second on average for a recent 12-month period. A Solana dashboard[1] says that Solana processed about 2700 transactions per second on average for a recent period of a few hours.

If we would like to pick nits, we could say that the Visa transactions are not comparable to the Solana transactions because Solana transactions let users run complex programs that Visa does not, or that Solana transactions are not comparable to Visa transactions because nobody accepts SPL USDC and everyone pays out the nose to accept Visa, or that 2700 is a lot less than 6500, or that the 6500 number is misleading because the load should have peaks, and do we really know how much peak load Solana can handle, or that only about 1/3 of the Solana transactions are actual useful stuff for users and the rest are consensus messages. But my point is that these things are only "too slow compared to Visa" by a reasonably small factor now, like 6500 vs 900. Thanks.

Petraeus mentions it in this recent article and everything I've found supports what he said:

https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2022/02/da...

> Ukraine is not only bigger but some 50 percent more populous than Iraq, and the Iraqi population included many millions—Kurds, Christians, Yezidis, Shabak, and many of the Shia—who broadly supported the coalition forces throughout our time there. Only a minority of the Iraqi population comprised or supported the Sunni extremists and insurgents and Iranian-supported Shia militia. Though they did, to be sure, prove to be very formidable enemies.

> "But," he added, "it's important to understand where we started from. ... Literally hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were sent to mass graves. Ten years on from the demise of Saddam Hussein, we're still discovering mass graves across Iraq. And Iraqis are better off without Saddam Hussein—the overwhelming majority of Iraqis are better off without Saddam Hussein."

What Makes Bored Ape NFTs So Desirable?
A couple of things to add to your list:

Go to bed early - 9-10pm and wake up when your body feels like it for a change. If it’s 4-5 am, you get more hours of dark and focus time and your brain is at peak executive thinking, so you can see the bigger picture and write much wiser code.

Fasting for a bit may keep your focus as well for a while. If you wake up and are distracted from hunger, drink a cup of plain while milk or plain yogurt. The protein and fat will be an instant boost to your brain and you will stay focused until you get hungry again. If you keep to meat, dairy, or sugar-free protein and fat you kan keep your focus all day. Carbs will crash you.

When you feel tired or unfocused, or ready to go to social media, take a nap instead. You can eat some carbs now as they can help you fall asleep faster. When you wake, apply the same principles.

I had to work for my own startup for a while and a squeezed a whole bunch of top quality code out of my brain. Without enough sleep or quality fatty protein, the brain gets distracted more easily or operates only at lower levels of abstraction.
I feel that one number summaries of huge complex distributions are generally meaningless.
> How should a company reimbursement process work? Should the company require employees to write lengthy expense reports and get reimbursed, or just let them put stuff on a company card? Does it matter how many employees they have?

I believe the IRS wants receipts in the event of an audit, so reimbursement programs are set up to incentivize good documentation.

I was fortunate to buy a Tom Bihn Brain Bag when they were, for a short time, making it in 420 Denier High-Tenacity Parapack with a Ballistic bottom. Parapack is a tough and lightweight parachute nylon common in the 1960s, but now is very rare, especially for a backpack. It's very different from ripstop etc., smooth like silk but strong. I used to wear out laptop backpacks about once a year. This bag has lasted me ten years so far and it still looks nearly new.

I mentioned no wars specifically, and so could have forgotten none.

Which territories did America conquer and annex?

Who, specifically, did Nato defeat? What were they doing, and planning?

Would you democracy exist if not for the West's intervention? Would your nation? Your people?

I believe that they are in Kyiv, and armed, and interacting with the troops. Fighting in battle would be a whole different story. It would certainly be brave, but unadvisable for Zelensky to be spending time in firefights instead of doing his job.

The problem isn't that they are banning people. As I've said in other comments, I support the right of people/companies to avoid association with other people/companies via many(most?) methods - including banning. Much like I said in the other comment as well - Gab can ban lefties while touting free speech, Twitter can ban righties while touting free speech, Youtube can ban both - I don't really care.

The issue is when automated banning leads to there not being a human in the loop, or when "well it's just the algorithm" becomes the go to excuse.
Sadly I don't think the Russians are going to need metadata to catch Ukrainian Paul Revere.

I saw an ad for Grammarly once, maybe a year ago, on YouTube. I was intrigued and clicked on it to learn about it and concluded that it was pretty awesome... until I learned about how it works and NOPE’d out immediately.

Since then, though, they aggressively bid to put ads on my browser. It’s a win-win for me, the ad networks get to feel like they’re delivering highly relevant personalized ads to a potential buyer and I get the peace of mind of not seeing other ads and the feeling of doing a good deed by baiting Grammarly into wasting ad spend. Selling a key logger as a service—- it’s an abomination.
