Lapsus is from latin. And yes, it could mean blunder. But apart from being Latin the word is used in the English language as well. So why would it be "likely from Russian"?
> yeah just buy an 86TB drive every year and run the node 24/7 to avoid penalties

This is healthy skepticism, these are things the crypto community would write in jest, on twitter. For the most part this is a massive exaggeration lol.

> how many people are actually able to do this

Not many, but a rapidly growing number of people are. Its more of a consumer protection problem and people are getting better at it.

> I'm not against crypto and i'm not sure yet about web3 but if it requires buying some kind of token to participate then i am skeptical.

There are certainly node based projects like that. Some are interesting, some should be avoided, some use tokens as a prerequisite for access, some don't, some are articulately explained and have free testnets you can simulate things on. Its up to the individual or team that created the project.
Soaking overnight is one of those hands-off, no-brainer preps that no one probably questioned if they could shorten the time until crock pots became commonplace.

I'm also shocked at the reverse-sear detractors. Personally I've been doing it for years because "searing in the juices" never made sense, and cooking on plenty of mediocre apartment stoves, it's been a foolproof way to assure that the outside of the steak is nice and dry without overcooking the inside. I've tried other methods that didn't require specialized equipment, and the reverse-sear has been the most reliable.
For racing you definitely will see the difference and probably won't want to go back to 60fps.

For sim games the difference would still be noticeable and welcome, yet not dramatic as racing.

Bottomline: try 120Hz if you can.

Earlier adopters will accept non-fashionable devices while we wait for "developers to fix that"

In reality it will take a few more years for a widely adopted consumer grade device. I might pick something like this up if they get a good third party review. Though I'm spoiled by the Hololens2 UX which is likely much better. The small form factor for writing on a plane is nice for this one. The main problem I foresee is writing their own OS for this rather than just using Android, makes me feel sketchy about their focus and ability to deliver a quality product.
The simple solution - work two jobs. I don't care if you work 80 hours a week. I don't think it's healthy or sustainable, but maybe it is for you. And I certainly don't think your fatigued work it's as beneficial as putting in a good 40 hours. But feel free. There is no reason it has to be the same job. Make two sets of 9-5ers happy.

Meanwhile, if you set a standard that makes people expect your coworkers to work 60 hours a week, expect them not to like that.
Sound like "pointer" to me.
> This bug has existed since day zero, which means that it took 5 years (!) for Nintendo to track it down. Credits to whoever nameless employee at Nintendo found this bug! The attention to detail is incredible. And how do you even find / debug a bug like this? Makes you think, do Linux, Windows and Mac handle this properly? Honestly, I doubt it!

Considering the various kernel-level races in mainstream kernels (*BSD, Darwin, Linux and NT), I actually doubt that these kinds of bug are fully eliminated (only fixed in cases where such race has security implications).

To be specific, an NFT can be anything - even a Turing complete program - but common ones are simply containing a string of a URL.

Edit: I was loosely involved in some of the conversation around smart contract and token implementation on a top 10 chain and there’s actually a lot of interesting issues with on chain data, such as if child pornography is added suddenly in some countries hosting a node can be seen as distributing CP (so only allowing URLs and then having filters to remove that at a community level is an easy solution).

I currently only like NFTs as representations of digital licenses or tickets etc anyway, so simple hashes work for me.
Very often the tokenURI is on IPFS meaning that the URI is in fact a hash of the digital asset. The digital asset can't change because that would result in a different IPFS uri.
> There have been plenty of times that I didn't want to hand over my name and address for an online purchase, but the traditional payment systems aren't set up for privacy.

Private payments can easily solved without a blockchain. For private payments you don't need a completely trust-less system. Taler[1] solves this quite elegantly: they provide completetly anonymous payments for the customer but still require the merchant to be 'on-record' to make money laundering harder/impossible. For that they rely on a regulated and trusted party as you would with a regular payment provider or bank. No proof of work needed, no value volatility, just an online representation of cash with accountability for the merchant built-in.

Of course, this also means that your second point is still valid for Taler: The involved trusted parties could collectively decide that they want to discriminate against certain merchants, in the same way the current payment providers did.

Most centralized systems exist because the best way to extract profit from whatever they do is to maintain control. It's possible to profit from part of a decentralized system, but if you want to maximize your take then centralization is the way to go.

Every decentralized system that works was created with a goal other than directly profiting from it to start with, and succeeded because someone found a way to profit from some part of it. Eventually though, in most cases, the companies and people that run the system coalesce until its effectively centralized, with a few single entities running the points of failure. See electricity generation, car manufacturing, news media, game publishing, book publishing, glasses manufacturing, etc for examples. The Internet is still in the "companies coalesce" stage which is why it still looks decentralized, but those companies merge or vanish quite regularly, with fewer and fewer getting more and more control.

Cryptocurrencies are terrible at privacy, too. Any time you try to use cryptocurrency to buy physical goods (or fiat currency), whoever you're transacting with can know every transaction you've ever made.
No my issue is with foreign controlled exclaves which can exert disproportionate influence on the locals without being accountable to the locals whose lives they control. This is colonialism, and the world has broadly agreed its a bad idea - even if a handful of colonies worked out fine, and we slap it with a fun new brand. If you disagree that colonialism is a bad idea, we can talk about that, but we should first call it what it is.

Context switches, idle state transitions, etc tend to be fairly delicately handled as a common cause of CVEs and Heisenbugs. I'm sure there's still plenty of bugs but more attention ends up being paid to these things on general purpose operating systems. More eyeballs on the code, more security researchers, more hardware variants to expose things that were thought to be fine. Also fuzzing.

To be honest I think we are agreeing but arguing slightly different points.

The how matters, I agree, but it doesn’t change the fact that a breach is a breach.

Different breaches can have different severities, but they are still both breaches.

My issue isn’t on the severity of the breach, it’s that Okta are saying there wasn’t a breach.
Okay, that makes sense. I'm in the UK and voting spam outside of obvious political groups like the EFF that you would have signed up to doesn't appear to exist.
That is deeply ironic and also hilarious in this context.
Here are just some of the use cases

1. 100x cheaper, faster cross-border transfers

2. Immutable, digital, accessible, secure ownership of music, video, real-estate, cars, gaming assets, health data

3. Instant access to nearly all possible financial products (loans, lending, startup investments etc.) without a middle man

There are many, many more use cases. Crypto drastically increases accountability, transparency, accessibility, trustworthiness for every kind of use case.

It seems like you are creating a lot of straw men to not see that, for example an impossible standard such as saying not all of crypto is 100% decentralized, so it's centralized, which just makes no sense and is a very strong logical fallacy.
Another benefit of containers is how simple deployments and scaling are with some of the managed services like Google Cloud Run.

Reading through the comments, the options used by others for deploying on VMs (Nix, Rsync etc) seem much harder to manage. Curious if there are simple-r deployment strategies, or tools/services for deploying on VMs.

The problem with long hours is that when applied carefully and occasionally, it sometimes does work.

Say I decide to finish what I was working on before leaving, then run into some difficult problem, finish after midnight having completed the task and solved the problem now and forever for everyone. With those 8 extra distraction-free hours I've produced equivalent output of 3 regulation work days and 2 committee meetings. I win. The mistake one can then make is to think that this can be repeated at will by staying late all the time.
> I'm kinda confused why Unity keeps doing this - they keep putting out high-end demo after high-end demo, but that's not where there core userbase is.

It’s been so long now, 2.5 years that I now view GPUs like I do gas prices. You can’t trust in a stable market. It’s not like GPUs didn’t skyrocket in price in the years leading up to the shortage anyway.

Best long term lifetime decision is to get off any dependency for either of them. I’m looking at electric cars and Intel NUCs. A lot of people that I know moved to laptops for the same reason. A lot of us gave up and many like me no longer trust the market.
Professionally I keep switching between Chrome and Firefox (currently on Chrome) ony my Mac. Firefox has the source-code viewer, some nifty CSS stuff etc, while most of the services I use work better on Chrome.

On my iPhone, I use Chrome as well. Never really got used to Safari.
Fyi, about 36% of NFTs use IPFS on eth and another 9% are entirely on chain. See yournfts.org
as the other poster there is no uniqueness , drm or any restrictions on copying in chain or outside of it.

There is only value because many people think there is value.

Most people are only paying some x for an NFT because they think it is possible to flip it at y >x.

2 cents opinion.
Yes, they benefit substantially from my work, and I benefit substantially from doing work I love. Win-win. Not sure what's wrong with that. Besides, I don't just trust anyone, the people I work for now have earned that trust over time; I want to see them succeed, because I succeed when they do, and vice versa.

They are capable of causing me harm due to that trust, yes, but that's what opening yourself up is. If that happens, it will hurt, I will recover, and I will find a new way to mesh what I love with what I make money doing. It would suck, but I would survive it.
All western democracies have these features today, and martial law would simply be one way in which they can be used. More broadly they would include basically any “emergency” powers that governments have to suspend ordinary democratic processes. If you look at the way the role of dictator worked in Rome, then most of the world has been run by legally appointed dictators for the past two years. With ordinary legislative processes suspended, public scrutiny and engagement in governance severely drawn back, and with new laws typically being announced via executive authority at press conferences rather than being debated and voted on by representatives. Factually these are what would be described as dictatorships. History is full of examples where dictators have temporarily assumed that level of power for the benefit of the people they’re governing, but the word is such a PR nightmare that no 21st century western dictator would ever accept the label.
I am also skeptic of the whole thing, but they say this:

> After 12 further days, the patient was able to reliably increase or decrease his neural activity to hit one of two “target” tones.

Isn't that evidence that this is not random noise?

The only thing that could be left to human interpretation is the "increase of activity" (I'm assuming "activity" is a signal with high dimensionality). But it is easy enough to build some metric, and demonstrate the answers are not random.

I have just enough faith in peer reviewing to hope that the paper would have been rejected without this experiment.
Those "I spent 1 hour looking at crypto and here's my opinion" takes on HN are starting to get tiring, because debunking them takes way more energy than writing the article. And then a next mutation gets posted sometime later with exact same theses, again and again.

The only critique from people that really understand how it works basically boils down to: the vision of a smart contract based economy has potential, but I don't believe the transition from the mostly-ponzi phase to the real economy phase can happen because of [reasons, usually legal].

Hardly needless. Employers throw out faithful and dedicated employees all the time, even in ageist industries where it is difficult for them to find another job. I saw this happen to a close friend's father; their financial stability crumbled. He seemed to have aged 10 years overnight. It was quite a few years before I saw him not visibly depressed. Despite being a talented engineer (not in software) he never found an engineering job again.
I don’t think this is true for engineering.

Those ideals died long ago when they took 500M+ of venture capital. Years later, those investors are taking their losses and public market actors can and will force them to make the hard decisions, like cutting the CEO's vanity project. Call it ruthless if you want, but any option post-VC, whether it's PE or public markets, is going to involve a lot less "lighting money on fire" projects. Outside that environment, a company is simply worth the sum of it's discounted future cashflow, with direct monetary incentive to maximize it.
Legally owning a house is literally just having your name and the address of your house in a book.

EDIT: The actual power does not reside in the book. It resides in the mindshare this specific book has. Anyone can put anything in a book but only some people control the book that people pay attention to. Similar it is with fiat, cryptos and nfts. The power is not in the technology itself but in the mindshare they occupy. It is more about social engineering than software engineering.

Well that's a lot of jargon to digest. Seems to be a combination of speculative market with ability to vote on various DeFi projects? Anyway, I have serious concerns about how governance is actually implemented in DeFi compared to how it is presented to stakeholders. At best, this is a tool for gambling. At worst, a tool for ponzi schemes to compete with each other.

Dunno enough about the situation in Australia to even pretend, but I imagine it could work if there is a coverage mandate plus taxpayer funding going to the carriers. In such a scenario it would be basically impossible to not massively overprovision bandwidth in rural areas, and the carriers would have zero incentive to cap data rates (beyond upselling - but there is a limit). Everywhere else though... telecoms are notorious for under provisioning to the point where major news events can result in the network failing under the load of too many people simultaneously wanting to make a call. Wireless took that to the next level. And it isn't simply a hardware issue, if they lease more backhaul capacity than they need - they burn money. So they're highly incentivized to screw with the top 20% of their heavy subscribers everywhere but the middle of nowhere.
Non-graceful shutdowns must be handled anyway (generally with client-side retries), so this shouldn't be an issue in practice. Kubernetes is intended for distributed/clustered services, not traditional HA services.
That confirms my point, the “knock off” makers are unable to optimise the design significantly further than a “real” Brompton. They have decided that the overall design as is perfect as you can get (other than component/manufacturing improvements).
