That hasn't been my experience with security services companies. Sure, people matter, but the processes, technology, and leadership can keep a good one on track regardless of who leaves.
The whole purpose of Vulkan was an open API that could work on all vendors. I'm not sure why they based WebGPU on Metal over the Mozilla proposal. Now Apple can control the future evolution of it by saying "metal 1.X does it this way." With a Vulkan based webgpu Khronos could do the same, but their "vulkan 1.X does it this way" would have already been the result of a cross-vendor standards committee instead of from a private Apple initiative with many conflicting goals around lock-in.
That's correct, that's the kind of equilibrium that should be reached. I'm just pointing out that price increases can find from supplier costs going up, not just from increased demand.

Articles should distinguish between them, then. A headline of "Russian aircraft violated European airspace nearly 300 times" with "flying close to NATO airspace" in the actual copy is irresponsible journalism.

Vitaly Gerasimov was the Chief of Staff of an army (41st Combined Arms), rather than the Army. The similarly-named Valery Gerasimov is the Chief of Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.

I agree 100% with the potency concerns. Many of the studies showing negative impact were using standards like "10 joints a day" which was easy to dismiss as that was an unreasonable amount of weed for most people. Now with wax, tinctures and 20%+ THC strains becoming the normal it seems really easy for many people to be hitting those previously unrealistic dosages.

To actually believe something as stupid as you're claiming, you'd have to assume that the giant corporations suddenly decided to crank the greed knob in lockstep with a massive amount of money being printed in the last two years.

Alternatively, it would be incredibly naive to assume flavors of this are not happening. Remember, just because collections of entities do similar actions at the same time (in lockstep) does not mean they are colluding or organized, it simply points to the fact that these entities the same motivations and same external forces at the same time.

There is a lot wrong with this post

Speaking in general terms, cancer is not a disease like a common cold.

you don't say

I am at peace with that, for we need to make space for the next generation (only adding people to planet earth would not be sustainable, as resources are scarce - imagine nobody would ever die). Being on this planet for a limited time period makes it more important to make the right choices, because we have only one life

This suggests a Malthusian, zero-sum world in which no new net value can be created. Someone could have said that 200 years ago, yet living standards are higher than ever in spite of more people than ever. Poverty rates worldwide continue to fall.

And it's not just cancer, there are many ways one may pick the unlucky straw: it is not widely known, but the number of people who die from a heath attack in their 20s is significant. Make the best of every minute you have, and live it as if it were your last.

This doesn't mean we need to accept death when it can be prevented. The promise and hope of technology is to expand human potential and not have to settle for fate. Someone again could have said this 200 years ago about any other medical condition that is now treatable or curable today,

This is the sort of defeatist logic that is popular online these days, but we won't have to settle for just giving up.
Well then maybe his friends and family left behind will find the motivation to take action against their shadowy oppressors.
That comment seems to blame a large group of people for something a small group did. The problem with lead is the same problem it always was and still is, a small group of people benefit and are able to make everyone else suffer. We clearly need to fix that, probably with specific measures to limit undue influence in congress. We should focus on those specific measures instead of divisive generalizations.

My experience having gone through an acquisition @ Google (albeit 10 years ago and in a different space) is you might go in with the thoughts like yours expressed here: "wow, cool, think of all the resources Google has to make our product even better."

In reality: your product will be sunsetteded and replaced with a Google-created version of the same thing within two years; your key management (and other) talent will pace around for 3-4 years in frustration waiting for their stocks and acquisition bonuses to fully vest, and eventually most of the talent that can get a competing offer that is close to Google's proverbial buckets of cash will take that and leave.

That said, it might be different in Google Cloud where more of the infrastructure is closer to industry standard infrastructure instead of Google's bespoke creations. And there's a focus on the needs of what people outside of Google do and how they do it.
That's one hard to parse sentence there... or maybe I've been exposed to too much lead as a child :)

In all seriousness, IQ is an important component of intelligence, mainly "fluid intelligence" that correlates well to learning speed in science and technology field, so for anyone that needs to do lots of learning/unlearning and career/domain hopping like we're all going to do more and more in the future it matters a hell of a lot!

I a world where someone could pick a job/domain and stick to it for life, IQ would matter but less... but it's not the world we're living in, everything is accelerating and our kids are likely to go through quite a few career changes / professional re-conversions etc.
I would guess that cognitive biases are in play, in part. People want to believe that their country is doing something good, and that their suffering is for a good cause. So if a news source reinforces that (such as "Special Operation to liberate Ukraine from Nazis"), it's easier to listen to than a narrative that runs counter ("Destroying both countries to appease a tyrant's ego").

That's not the only factor, but here in the US it's certainly a big part of the appeal of misleading news sources.

I also predicted it based on similar data. (I'm a nobody, so I can't claim to have predicted it "publicly". I don't think I even did so in an HN post. Also, I don't gather data or have sources - I just read stuff.)

I saw all the buildup during the Olympics, and I said that it was going to happen once the Olympics were over. I was two days early - I predicted Tuesday, it happened on Thursday.

I wasn't "three months" ahead of time - more like a week.
It would be interesting to pair this with something like MaskRCNN or something which does semantic masking, and then be able to choose the compression levels of different masks.

>I wonder how you picture NATO intervention without WW3, could you explain? IMO Nato intervention means a military confrontation between NATO and Russian forces.

I meant its not possible. You cant have a military confrontation between NATO and Russian forces in Ukraine without triggering ww3. So the hope that NATO might intervene is badly misplaced in my opinion.

>Yes, it would also hurt the European economy, but surely many magnitudes less than a WW3.

Yes, another bad wording, thank you. Add an "and any...". I think the oil sanctions are unlikely solely because the European economies wont be able to handle the impact.

And with no NATO intervention (due to ww3) and no sanctions on oil(due to economic impact), i dont see much margin for actions left. Am i missing something?
Ask HN: Is You.com the next type of search engine?
I discovered You.com a couple of weeks ago and gave it a try but I'm still unsure of it. The biggest disadvantage is the horizontal scroll but this is just UI/UX. More important are the search results itself.

I wonder if they just use Bing in the background like DuckDuckGo or if they developed their own search engine. Anybody knows more details?

this notion of a population limit just refuses to die. The world is not a petri dish
Lots of resonant points here. It’s worth making it to the end.

I work at a company where there’s a number of different little less-than-one-man projects, and there’s a lot of variety, and so a couple of non-tech types, frustrated with resource allocation (having the right kind of skills at the right place at the right time in the right amount) wants to standardize and simplify.

What I’ve observed though is that when you tell your house painters they can only work with black paint, they can only give your customers black walls, and when your customer wants wood panel, or textured fuschia, then you can’t earn revenue from that market demand.

It didn’t even stop then. My own city (Portland) has been regularly exceeding EPA lead action levels since 1998[1].

All they need to do is treat the water to raise ph like every other city with a large lead solder install base, but they’ve been dragging their feet for literally decades while the people they serve get lead exposure.

In the sense that 1 joule of electrical energy is inherently more valuable than 1 joule of thermal energy. A current commercial nuclear reactor requires 3 units of the latter to produce 1 unit of the former.

This issue comes up all the time in energy analysis where you need to carefully distinguish between "primary" (i.e., before conversion in a heat engine) energy to zero-entropy energy (electrical energy, work).

I'm only commenting on violent crime, not political upheaval.
There are plenty of Russians on Youtube commenting under pleas posted by Ukrainians asking them to help stop the war. And there are plenty of videos taken by people on the ground in Ukraine that show what's going on. But due to the way Youtube works, the Russian users are not very likely to come across those videos.

Consider interacting with them by replying with links to the videos.

If somebody from Youtube is reading this, I understand that you need to curb spammers who post a lot. But if you could somehow help with this effort, it might actually help change the public opinion in Russia.

FWIW, I agree with you that the way we do things now is, uh, not the best of all possible worlds. I think Nix (and Guix) is a step in the right direction, though, but they don't go far enough.
This type of research needs to be controlled for age. The body of an 80 year old person is materially different from that of a 20 year old and that might change their outlook on life drastically. An unbiased researcher would seek out the regrets of dying 10 year olds, 20 year olds, 30 year olds etc etc

> The thought may be freeing to you, but many others become paralysed by it, obsessing about “the right choices” at every moment.

I had been struggling with the same issue. The opposite (“our choices don’t matter”) is depressing.

However, two things help me:

The first is “Optimistic Nihilism” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBRqu0YOH14) - a view very close to Zen/stoicism. The second is that ALL choices matter, but their impact is finite and subject to randomness. I used to think that all of my choices were forever and set in stone. While technically correct, it misses that the future changes only a bit. We might be tempted to think that “the grass is greener”, or “I should have bought Bitcoins”, but it is like “I miss I didn’t join my friends when they went to a cassino”. Moreover, it is FAIR that a finite effort results in a finite result.
>I have a strong worries that our current generation will have a similar huge reckoning with marijuana.

The problem with lead was that it was everywhere. Walls, gas, water, air. As long as society chose to use, we all had to ingest it. That's not so much the case with narcotics. I wouldn't expect anymore of a reckoning with MJ as there has been with alcohol.
That explains it

The first part of the article describes the common situation where we see similarities across projects and effort being duplicated, apparently unnecessarily.

To improve understanding and efficiency, we come up with proposals that involve some kind of standardization, such as a shared library abstracting a service.

My team has recently embarked on such an effort, and I was really hoping for a new take on how to avoid the various pitfalls involved in attempting this kind of standardization.

Obviously, central planning works quite well for certain things and, just as obviously, it hasn't worked well for other things. In most situations, it seems that a combination of planning + flexibility works best.

Further, what works or doesn't work for nation-states isn't particularly applicable to software architecture. The analogy feels quite tortured to me.

As to the example given in the article regarding trees, one could just as easily choose an example from modern agriculture where "central planning" seems to work quite well.

In the end, I feel like the article just boils down to: "Make sure you understand the problem domain and the cost of large scale change before you spend a lot of time and effort making said changes."

Maybe it's just resentment for BigCos pretending to give a crap.
And how do I know what is happening there?

I'm partial toward the people who got invaded but I cannot even verify the stories and sources to a reliable degree. Simply because I lack the resources.

Having a clear bias (support for one side) makes it cognitively even worse.

So I have two choices:

1. Risking telling "noble" lies because in the grand scheme of things Russia (bad actor) has invaded Ukraine (good actor) so even if I'm wrong in some things my intentions are good.

2. Calling Russians and trying also to hear their side of the story and with an open mind figure out together how to bring this war to an quick end.

I believe the vast majority of Russians and Ukrainians have good intentions and want peace.

But borrowing from the proverb "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" one has to have a way of self-correcting i.e. hearing the other side.

So call Russians and tell them your side of the story but don't pretend to know "better".
Linux uses pull requests, too, it's just that it uses them the way they were meant to be used—among a limited cohort of collaborators frequently pulling from one another—instead of GitHub-style pull requests that have little to do with Git-the-tool and that everyone gets shunted through, even when a patch (or three) would be more appropriate.

Security researchers already know that they're submitting a patch for a security flaw - there is 0 additional overhead.

> My point was that if security patches are flagged as such from the start, it saves attackers lot of time (and money), as they will no longer have to go through (almost) every patch and evaluate whether it could be fixing a security problem.

Not really.

1. They can just check to see who made the commit - if it's a security researcher, it's obviously a vuln patch

2. The commits are obfuscated in hilariously obvious ways if you know what to look for

3. It's not that hard to look at a commit, it's kinda what they're paid for

> while the defenders won't gain much from that,

When the vuln is found a race begins between attacker and defender. The difference is that attackers know they're in a race and defenders find out two weeks later.
