If this were really a practical concern, machine learning would be designing drugs that fly through the clinic today. They aren't and so this paper, though click-grabbing, is probably of no practical consequence.

One reason is lack of data. Chemical data sets are extremely difficult to collect and as such tend to be siloed on creation. Synthesis of the target compounds and testing using uniform, validated protocols are non-trivial activities. They can only be undertaken by deep pockets. Those deep pockets are interested in return on investment. So, into the silo it goes. This might not always be the case, though.

For now, the paper does raise the question of the goals and ethics around machine learning research. But unintended and/or malevolent consequences of new discoveries have been a problem for a long time. Just ask Shelley.
Do you think everybody should have the right to design a Sars-Cov-4 in their kitchen just because it's soon going to be technologically possible and free speech?
Some ISPs, when pressed for refunds from downtime or poor service, ask if you have any reports. SNMP and connection monitoring has been the mainstay in my local network that’s provided those reports with an always-on server that captures my router traffic info. Specifically, I use PeakHour for MacOS.

With the reports I provide, they give me refunds. Death before dishonor.
Active defence has limits, sure. There's a long dance between attack and defence.

My point was that the tank isn't doomed there - if vulnerability to anti-tank missiles was the only issue, armies would research and deploy active defences everywhere and the tank would be important as it was.

I think the problems are elsewhere. When infantryman can deploy offensive power outranging the canon, one needs to ask why have the tank when the infantryman requires so much less logistics. If say, the tanks could use a heavy mobile laser, than the equation would be different.
If you trust the quality and reliability of your battery why not still offer rental as an option ?

I also do this with my Advantage 2 (along with several other remaps), but I wanted to point out that the caps->esc remapping is now quite straightforward in osx.
This is fantastic work, Max! I like where you're going with this unit economy.

It is increasingly more and more common that companies need ways of productizing their deep learning models with tight SLA constraints and tight budgets.
I think, one of the logical steps could be integration with vector databases / frameworks and measuring gains there in client setups.
Yeah not what I was expecting at all

> Minor nitpick, the correct translation isn't "resistance has ceased" but "resistance shall cease".

Du har rätt :)

I quoted and translated from memory, then googled for the correct quote.

The current statement is:

> Om Sverige blir angripet av ett annat land kommer vi aldrig att ge upp. Alla uppgifter om att motståndet ska upphöra är falska.
for years the only minor gains they’ve made in terms of brand affinity involve buying other companies
> does not refer to the simplicity of the explanation/exposition, only to the simplicity of the language
> Sure, but the use of simple language commonly seems to play out in easier to follow explanations of things on Simple Wikipedia.

I explicitly acknowledged this in my comment: "It's true you might find a explanation on SEW that you find simpler or easier than on the regular English Wikipedia page, and this might (or might not) be because the constraint of using simple English forces it."

> I appreciate your confidence, but I find the topic almost unintelligible. I dare say a science educator or the like would make a more reliable job of it. Plus, I'm not sure articles should be dumbed down, because for topics I do understand, I would find it annoying if Wikipedia entries were boiled down into layman's terms.

The article should be intelligible to its intended audience. If that audience includes non-experts, the article should include descriptions that are intelligible to non-experts. This does not require removing expert-level descriptions, although it is good to warn the reader of what sections can be understood at what level. Depending on the circumstance, it may also be appropriate to split the discussion into two articles, as is done with the Introduction to Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics articles:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_quantum_mechan...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics

There are some articles on Wikipedia that are essentially only of interest to experts, and here it is probably not worth the effort to make them accessible, but the Negative Temperatures article is not one of them. It should include laymen understandable descriptions in addition to ones more useful to experts.

I must again emphasize: Simple English Wikipedia is for Simple English language. It's not Non-Technical Wikipedia and it's not for dumbing down anything. If something's not appropriate for the regular English Wikipedia, it's not appropriate for Simple English Wikipedia.
If that's the strategy behind dart, it would be the de-facto android language and they'd have a JVM target.

It's hard to place dart in a modern languages context, it really only made sense as a "next javascript" bet in 2011 -- pre-ES6.

It feels legacy now, maybe flutter will be a rivial -- seems unlikely though.

Why not call this for what it is? It's CSP in C. Go is not the only language in which CSP is used as the concurrency model.

I understand using "Go-style" as an adjective to describe this makes it easier for the uninitiated but it's doing everyone a disservice IMHO.

Launch HN: PropelAuth (YC W22) – End-to-end auth service for B2B products
Hi HN! I’m Andrew Israel, an engineer and the founder of PropelAuth (https://www.propelauth.com). PropelAuth provides end-to-end managed user authentication and lets your users manage their own accounts and teams.

We have a special focus on B2B features that make it easy for an end user to sign up, create and manage their own organization in your product, invite their co-workers, and so on. This includes roles within the organization (RBAC). We provide frontend and backend libraries where organizations are a first class concept, and we host UIs on your domain to manage the rest.

We didn't start out with this focus. PropelAuth actually started out of a chess side project I was working on. As side projects go, I started by focusing on the core product and fun aspects of it. Things like user authentication felt like a distraction from the things I wanted to work on.

I’ve set up auth at different jobs and for friends' companies in the past, and I never felt like any tool nailed it. The experience I wanted was “all aspects of auth are taken care of for me, UIs included” and then to have minimal libraries to check if users were logged in or not. The MVP of PropelAuth was a set of basic UIs that we hosted on our customers domain, some admin tools, and a few frontend/backend libraries.

We were also dogfooding ourselves—and because we sell to businesses, we built out some B2B specific features: creating organizations, inviting coworkers, roles/RBAC, and the UIs for all that. When talking with early customers, those turned out to be the features that got the strongest reactions. B2B founders were looking for that, and existing auth tools didn’t have these features or didn’t have them in an easy to implement way. So that’s been our focus ever since.

The product today acts similarly to a self-contained auth microservice that you can configure. It has simple UIs like signup and login and then more advanced ones like security pages (with 2fa enrollment) and organization management (with roles support).

The frontend libraries request short lived tokens for your users that your backends can verify. It also exposes APIs to fetch user and organization information.

We have a free plan, and charge $0.02 per monthly active user for the next plan up.

We’d love to hear any feedback you have! If you want to try out the product, you can sign up on our website at https://www.propelauth.com. You can check out our docs at https://docs.propelauth.com/ and there are guides at https://www.propelauth.com/blog-categories/guide. Thanks!

Is economic 'high achievement' the key sign of success, or a sign that wider indicators of a successful upbringing have been ignored?
I am not sure why you continue to misrepresent this case. Using Google Car data was only one of the privacy violations, the other was mobile phone data.

I will post the quotation one more time:

> The CNIL held that since it was carried out without the knowledge of the data subjects, the collection of data using the “Google Cars” or the mobile phones of “Google Latitude” users was carried out unfairly and therefore in breach of article 6.1° of the French data protection law.

Notice the whole "or the mobile phones" section, which comes after the Google Cars section which you are pretending is the only pertinent section?
The same logic should apply to The Gambia, but for that country the definitive article seems to be official and preferred.

"Your first response being "How is this study wrong?" rather than "How might my assumptions be wrong?" kind of proves the point."

Not at all. My first question was which of my assumptions are wrong, then double check that my facts were right. Those didn't line up with the article, which is when I stated to see interesting unexplained choices, like using Trump instead of governor or a matrix of policies.
I've messed around with a few simple Flutter applications and I wrote in Java until the IDE complained then made minor fixes. I never had the feeling I was learning a new language honestly, felt more like moving from python 2 to python 3 than a whole different language

This is weak. Yes, these numbers can be (and usually are) used as emotion-targeting propaganda. However, assuming they are true in a reasonably non-cherry-picked context, the prevalence of dishonest usage then does not disqualify them from being used in a useful context, free from hatred. Your post implies otherwise, though (regardless of whether they are or are not being used that way in the particular case of the OP).

Nieśmiały cybernetyk potężne ekstrema

Poznawał, kiedy grupy unimodularne

Cyberiady całkował w popołudnie parne,

Nie wiedząc, czy jest miłość, czy jeszcze jej nie ma.

Precz mi, precz, Laplasjany z wieczora do ranka,

I wersory wektorów z ranka do wieczora!

Bliżej, przeciwobrazy! Bliżej, bo już pora

Zredukować kochankę do objęć kochanka!

On drżenia wpółmetryczne, które jęk jednoczy,

Zmieni w grupy obrotów i sprzężenia zwrotne,

A takie kaskadowe, a takie zawrotne,

Że zwarciem zagrażają, idąc z oczu w oczy!

Ty, klaso transfinalna! Ty, silna wielkości!

Nieprzywiedlne continuum! Praukładzie biały!

Christoffela ze Stoksem oddam na wiek cały

Za pierwszą i ostatnią pochodną miłości.

Twych skalarnych przestrzeni wielolistne głębie

Ukaż uwikłanemu w Teoremat Ciała,

Cyberiado cyprysów, bimodalnie cała

W gradientach, rozmnożonych na loty gołębie!

O, nie dożył rozkoszy, kto tak bez siwizny

Ani w przestrzeni Weyla, ani Brouwera

Studium topologiczne uściskiem otwiera,

Badając Moebiusowi nie znane krzywizny!

O, wielopowłokowa uczuć komitanto,

Wiele trzeba cię cenić, ten się dowie tylko,

Kto takich parametrów przeczuwając fantom,

Ginie w nanosekundach, płonąc każdą chwilką!

Jak punkt, wchodzący w układ holonomiczności,

Pozbawiany współrzędnych zera asymptotą,

Tak w ostatniej projekcji, ostatnią pieszczotą

Żegnany - cybernetyk umiera z miłości.

I normally search for T&G Plywood and I get what I expect.

Right now that search is broken at the & and it thinks my entire search string is just "T". Instead I have to enter "T&amp;G Plywood" into the search - literally adding the html entity and that actually works correctly for the search.
"The region is part of northern Japan that was devastated by a deadly 9.0 quake and tsunami 11 years ago that also caused nuclear plant meltdowns."

The meltdowns happened due to a primary cooling loop failure which in turn was caused by a loss of power to the primary coolant loop (because the backup diesel generators weren't located high enough above sea level to avoid being swamped by the tsunami).

Given the rhetoric about right now about the possibility of a nuclear exchange I wonder how many commercial nuclear plants would also melt down in the event of an EMP attack. I've always thought that nuclear as we have it is safe as long as the operators don't do anything aggressively dangerous but I'm thinking that any reactor that cannot passively keep itself below meltdown temperature is inherently unsafe and replacing them all with SMRs should be a public safety priority.

Microsoft simply doesn't belong in that name. I can feel the Microsoft PR trying to force their way into that acronym.
It's precisely because it uses a "fake" assembly language that it can continue to be timeless; the books written using FORTRAN are now historical artifacts, and perhaps only C would really survive that long; and C is basically glorified assembly language anyway ...
> Also it is not clear to me when that 72 hours starts.

This is always the issue with mandatory incident reporting and, in my experience*, regulators tend to be fairly understanding. Generally the rule is the clock starts ticking "upon discovery" of the incident and there's usually a "reasonable likelihood" aspect. So even if you aren't certain a reportable incident has occurred you'd still be required to report an event you've discovered that you're reasonably sure is/may be a breach.

Even that leaves lots of grey area, though. Is it "discovered" when the IT help desk worker comes across it or is it "discovered" when it comes to the attention of senior management? I think in most cases as long as it's timely(ish) reported regulators aren't going to be counting the hours and minutes. If I had an incident where a low-level employee "discovered" it and then sat on it for three days before management found out I'd probably just proactively explain the timeline/delay to the regulator when we reported it and I wouldn't expect it to be much of an issue.

*I'll add the giant caveat that I've only dealt with (comparatively) low-stakes cybersecurity regulatory reporting. I suspect timeliness is much more important to DHS since the goal is national security rather than consumer privacy/preventing crime.

Not the same situation at all! With the US, "the" is officially part of the name of the country, used in the very first sentence of the US Constitution.

And even before that, in the Articles of Confederation, stated explicitly in its article 1: The Stile of this Confederacy shall be "The United States of America."

On the other hand, he could've taken a photo before the road was cleared for travel, no?
I think you overestimate my ability. I've spent > 10 years programming in languages that have features like this (take and select excluded I think? Or maybe they had different names?) and I've just never internalized functions that are generic like this. Usually what I end up doing is opening up a REPL or making a toy program so I can iteratively see what happens to the collection. This probably makes me a bad programmer but I'm just being honest: It's too much cognitive overhead for me when I'm trying to spend the rest of my brain power on keeping track of the actual problem I want to solve -- which usually means interpreting code written by 30 other engineers over long period of time (read: it's a mess).

I was reflecting on this and the one language where I don't feel this way is SQL. I'd consider it my strongest language, and it's an extremely functional language. I have no trouble deciphering complex SQL, but it takes me an enormous amount of time to figure out what happens in those long function chains in general purpose programming languages. I'm not sure what it is about SQL that makes me feel this way, but maybe it gives some hint why our brains seem to work in different ways?
Lots of propaganda and hate-bait is true. Context is what matters in those cases. I agree that the parent is making an incorrect implication though, but not for the reason you give.

I'd say he has to be way above average at a minimum.

He has to understand Rocket Science and Astrophysics to enough of a degree to communicate and make decisions with other Astrophysicists and Engineers at his space company.

He has to understand chemistry and mechanical engineering to enough of a degree to communicate with the lead engineers and make decisions at his EV company.

Not to mention how he got his start with Pay Pal and understanding computer technology and encryption.

He may or may not be a 'genius genius'.

But there's zero doubt in my mind that he 'ain't no dummy'. :)
We have Moxas on almost all of our machines now. This one is a special case.
a small note on redpanda. Is not a `rewrite`. It is an entire new storage engine, different consensus protocol, different on-disk format, different internal RPC, no external dependencies, ...., in fact when i started it it was using flatbuffers as the API. What we did later to make money is add a kafka-API translation layer, but in terms of code size, is a very small part. The way i'd recommend thinking about it is a new storage engine that is compatible w/ kafka clients. https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda/tree/dev/src/v/kaf... - this is basically all the kafka-related code, the rest is net-new design.

As someone who started programming using GCC, Vi and commandline tools, I just hate the tooling around Flutter.

And yes, someone will probably point out that I can use Flutter with commandline tools after I disable all the bloatware that needs to be installed anyway, but that's missing the point.

Polemology
Funny this is on the front page, as I just finished Solaris last night. But I honestly was not entertained by it. I found the character actions and dialog to be strangely unmotivated and confusing—why are they doing and saying these things? Is it a cultural, time period or translation difference? Some of the ideas are definitely interesting—I mean, you had me at "sentient ocean"—and I appreciate the historic value of the idea that an alien might just be simply not understandable by humans. The descriptions of the vast, frothing, living architectures were vivid and memorable, but most everything else seemed surprisingly tedious. I haven't seen either of the film adaptations but I can't possibly imagine what the story would be since there's so little story in the book.
Powerful Earthquake Hits Japan
(Googler, opinions are my own). I work on payments, but I don't have intricate knowledge about how autofill and "google pay" accounts work.

I think the confusion here is around having a payments profiles and Google Pay. Looks like we started calling your payments profile now having a "Google Pay account".

There is Google Pay (the app for tap-and-pay, along with P2P payments), then there is having a Payments Profile (which apparently we're now calling Google Pay, because that's not confusing), which you use for buying things on Google's properties.

There used to be a https://payments.google.com but that just redirects to https://pay.google.com/. This is your payments profile. As far as I understand, when you added a card for chrome autofill, it would create a payments profile, as the card was stored as part of that system. The support docs say something like this: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142893?hl=en

> When you’re signed in to Chrome and you enter your payment method into an online form, Chrome may ask if you want to save your payment info in Google Pay. If you accept, your payment information is saved in Google Pay. If Google Pay doesn’t support your payment method, Chrome may offer to save it locally on your device.

The Google Pay app (used for Tap-And-Pay) has its own activation process for being able to use a card, as it requires a 2FA process (depending on your bank).
Perhaps If you are building a app optimizing for high performance where it is needed (using 3D, trading apps, etc) sure. But in 'all' cases? You would benefit better with the large ecosystem of officially 'supported' TypeScript libraries available in React Native which most companies simply would just use over unofficial ones or the very high likelihood of no equivalent libraries to use on the Flutter side, even if you are migrating a complex app.

Flutter is getting there but as for the library ecosystem, it's not there yet for now; especially for Desktop. If it does get there, at least we should be able to see the first of Flutter desktop apps like Rows [0] to replace Electron on the desktop, unless somehow React Native for Desktop gets there which that is even far behind.

In theory lenders are supposed to set their rates to get the desired real return. If inflation is 10% they'll add 10% to their rates to make sure they stay ahead of it. (This actually happened in the 1970s, and is a major reason why rates were so high.)
Yes. As I said, from the beginning he wanted to be a teacher. And despite having a job of necessity, he worked on physics anyway, and revolutionized the field over a single year.

Maybe the answer is that we have become more effective at detecting and monetizing genius; Einstein might have languished for the rest of his life if he were less driven. Or maybe it's the opposite; we don't give smart people enough time or money without draining them of the time to work on novel discovery. Or both at once.
