For me I'm genuinely not too bothered about getting around, my friends are already scattered over the country in the course of their careers so if I want to see most of them I'm getting on a train regardless of urban or rural life. I work from home so commuting isn't a concern any more, and while I do currently live within fairly easy (20 minutes or so) cycling distance of grocery shops I can get much further on the bike if I have to - without a commute I have time for that kind of thing. While I'm leaving it behind temporarily to travel (planning on living on a sailing boat for a few years and seeing more of Europe now covid restrictions are going away) my plan is to eventually set up somewhere even more rural and go as off-grid as possible with a view to minimising my carbon footprint as low as I can and generally being at least minimally self-sufficient for the next global crisis. I've been learning to drive later in life than most due to medical doubt whether I'd be safe and rural life without it is definitely possible without being rich - it's just less convenient as you point out.

I'm lucky that most of my hobbies are either outdoors by definition or don't really need anything more than a plug socket which isn't the case for everyone, I get that lots of people couldn't hack living out in the country away from the things they do and if others want to urbanise I don't have an issue with that but for me personally I couldn't do the reverse either. It just grinds my gears when people think all humans are compatible with urbanisation because for me it really is the difference between an ordinary life and being profoundly depressed on a permanent basis.
What is your threshold? Who decided what is "not legitimate" activity? Clearly in this case the money was spent using the keys that were allocated to be able to control the money, what process overrides that?
Nit, but YAML is a superset of JSON, so no conversion required :)
You really think the choice was to go to KGB school or remain illiterate?
There were a lot of other options to study. Much better options if your want to do science. For one thing, education in Soviet Union was decent and free for everyone.
Going to KGB school was a choice, very specific one.
Do you watch youtube? Get email from people using Gmail. The list goes on, if you think outside your box.

My comment is not limited to workspaces, that's a strawman.
Require PGP signed requests, and you should have more guarantee?
The blind leading the blind here in the wild, wild west of crypto.
That would imply that Russians are justified in treating all civilians as enemy combatants.
Using Nix and home-manager I'm able to have this setup with Emacs work across Linux and macOS (x86 and arm64) because it compiles the grammars from Nixpkgs itself (the grammar list can also be augmented declaratively with other grammars).

Which was 6 days after the original transfers. Unbelievable.
Thank you! We're trying.
You’re describing a hard fork - exactly what created Ethereum and Ethereum Classic after the DAO hack. Even now it’s still considered a controversial move.
I'm out of the loop and trying to understand - people lent over half a billion dollars of their 'real' fake money (ETH) to a game studio so they could transact on the studio's sidechain because gas fees are prohibitively expensive on ETH, and then the game studio got hacked and lost it all?

How was this ever going to end any other way? Imagine how preposterous the idea of storing $650mm in USD in a random game studio's checking account would be.
They can probably get a job at a regional paper sales company, though.
I mean we have an answer to that, it's called the law, and its worked since 1750BC. [edit] This guy, Hammurabi - king of the First Babylonian Dynasty - faced a similar quandary, so there's some prior art.

Disputes under the law are resolved in court.
But would Russia claim it was indeed a war just so they could prosecute it as a war crime?

Same goes for shooting the officers in the knees. Since it supposedly isn't a war, these measures are merely self protection against an unprovoked aggressor.
Thank you for this elaborate answer, but this does not seem right. I am not very well versed in the StarTrek lore, but they use warp drives, which are alcubierre drives, so they expand and fold space to move, thus never actually achieving an FTL speed themselves. If we don't move at relativistic speeds, there would be no time dilation effects, so we'll always have t == t'.

Next off, I feel that this backwards inertial frame of reference is not right. But I'm too lazy to get into actual math so let's put this matter to rest until we get means of FTL travel or information transfer.
No monitoring whatsoever over $600M of funds stored in your system is crazy negligent.
Sounds like an intro CS class. Let's group people who played with this stuff for years with people who are here to get rich and people who have a theoretical aptitude, but never touched it.
Generally, they can wash the currency, either through mixers or by routing through a privacy focused coin like Monero.

Properly done, there is no direct connection between the new washed currency and the stolen assets.
With sandboxing of the bubblewrap or firejail flavor you have one externally applied ruleset to a tree of processes. This ruleset must be lax because it is the union of all the permissions the processes may need at any time and on any execution path. This is bad because it makes your sandbox more permissive than necessary and specific points in time for specific processes

pledge on the other hand allows a process to gradually drop privileges as it goes down different code paths. E.g. it could initially retain permissions to open files and enumerate directories because it has an option to do things recursively. But after checking arguments and no recursive option was requested it just opens a fixed list of files and then drops those caps. But it's a fancy tool (like ripgrep) that might spawn helper programs to parse the content and those may still have to open files on their own. So just because it locally dropped its own capability to open files (but retained the cap to spawn processes) doesn't mean its child processes should inherit that restriction, they can lock themselves down. It can still choose to impose separate restrictions on child processes externally, but that's orthogonal to the self-restrictions.

This makes things more composable and allows for tighter sandboxing after program init.
>someone with sufficient interest can exploit this

Sure, but that applies to any technology on any platform at any time.
They could just burn it - it makes everyone else’s ETH more valuable.

Or move it through decentralized tumblers. Which is why more and more these tokens are becoming non-fungible as addresses are blacklisted.

Non-fungible is another way of saying centralized, by the way. The whole system is a house of cards. The final straw will be when quantum blows it wide open.
It's explicitly written in basically all of my math classes. Your grade was always the better of your final or your coursework.

I get the perverse incentive of fucking off and taking the final but nobody actually does that, shits hard yo. The game is actually trying to get your grade high enough that if you bomb the final you're still good.
I'm from Montana. The only thing keeping our infrastructure as good as it is is the current arrangement of payments. Our current political climate in the state would not raise taxes on residents to compensate for the costs of our developed lifestyle being shifted fully onto us.

I think this does need to change, but I'm the minority here. Most people "need" to drive because of the weather.

Probably can get $3-5m or so a year slowly. (which would take ~25 years or so).
I think something like a moving average would be much better.

Historical data without too much emphasis on the past.

Then you can also adjust the way you grade.
I'm replying to my own comment here, but I wanted to clarify something with hysteresis. Heating water (or food, or a pan) up to a certain temperature takes more energy than maintaining that temperature. It appears that the temperature setting on my induction burner uses the same amount of energy regardless. So it will bring the water to a boil when I use the 212F setting, but once it's there, it requires less energy to maintain that temp, but the induction burner doesn't adjust accordingly. So, instead of turning the amount of energy down to maintain 212F, it just cycles on and off hysteritically. With a gas or electric stove, I can turn the heat up, and once it reaches boiling, I can turn the heat down slightly, maintaining the current level of boiling (because there's "simmer", "boil" or "rolling boil", for example).
Is Monero untraceable? Then the government don't want untraceable cryptocurrency.
Yes, they would be hardware wallets or phone apps relying on TPM. There is some more info on possible options at https://ecashact.us/#hardware
If we all lived in densely packed cramped apartments in strictly urban environments, it would surely be miserable to take a walk.

The key point about free, clean energy is that carbon emissions would be nil even with increase in demand. That's what is meant by "it hardly matters". However, we need swift intervention right now to ensure climate doesn't descend into an uncomfortable range for many years.
For folks wanting to play around with the GPT-3 code-editing capabilities referenced in the article within your own codebase, I wrote a simple open source VS Code plugin that lets you run commands against your currently-open file and get GPT-3's suggested edits back in a diff: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=clippy-a...
I used to work on the team at Mozilla that got stuck with dealing with all the terrible shit that AV programs do to web browsers. My recommendation for Windows users is to just use Defender.

All that other crap does the exact same stuff to other programs that malware does, except they do so in the name of "security."
That might work great if the federal authorities were reliable, motivated, and their interests were always aligned with state authorities.

However, there are often disputes where the feds do not what to prosecute certain groups or individuals, and might interfere with state / local authorities. (e.g. police in a Democrat-run state prosecuting allies of a Republican president and vise versa, or investigations into federal informants who are violating state law).

This would also allow make it easier for the feds to perform on-path attacks where they "forward" EDRs from state / local authorities that were never issued by those state / local authorities.
Wrong. The market has not spoken.
The producers leave no alternative so it's do or die for consumers
Ok, so how about either a) starting at a lower power level to let the cast iron heat more gradually, or b) waiting until the pan heats up to the desired temperature before adding food?
Isn't that anathema to the new world order the crypto people are espousing?
YC is one of the best ways to get funding and access to the highest tiers of investor and advisers. It's startup funding on easy mode, if you can get in. The rest of your batch doesn't really matter.
Show HN: The power of PostgREST in a Rust library
even companies in at will states will often do a full pip process (can be more than a year) to exit a lower performer.

I've seen quite a few people exited by malicious managers who documented things in a PIP that didn't happen, and set rules for PIP exit that weren't attainable. All to avoid a lawsuit when a person is terminated.

Not sure that's highly functional.
It is amazing to me that these bridges can't figure out a reliable auditing mechanism. I can't wait to learn about how this was accomplished. But with the amount of money at risk, it seems like there has to be a mechanism to secure these things and maybe have a backstop in the even something does go wrong.
We've heard rumblings that react18 implies the need for major changes in legacy projects. For instance, jest testing suites apparently need to move away from enzyme?

Also, is there something about MUI and react18 that makes styled-components more of a pain? Not sure where I heard that.
> nobody is pushing legislation that would gradually coerce more people into the rural life. Not true of the sardine life.

Maybe somewhere in the US, but in no areas I spent considerable time enough to be tuned into local politics and policies was this remotely the case.

Since I've been alive the political power has decidedly and unashamedly been fully in the "suburban living" policy group. Every meaningful infrastructure spending, expansion, zoning policy, etc. served to further those interests either directly or indirectly. The "urban policy" group wins were generally not material and mostly window dressing stuff like BRT routes and a few more miles of unconnected bike lanes.

If there was actual choice between "good urban living" and "good rural living" I'd totally agree. The issue is we've spent 100 years building suburbia at the expense of everything else, both as a political and financial investment.

I'm not sure how we can hope to stop that inertia short of being limited by cheap energy or running out of actual land.
Just want to say, eraseable markers on game components is a fantastic and underused asset.
Wait, no, it's totally believable because this is the same story that happens over and over again with blockchains. It turns out that all of those pain in the ass compliance laws on traditional finance are there for a reason, and when you ignore the past you end up repeating it.
Didn't you mean designers? In my experience, that's who loves pushing low-value efforts like this (yes, at the scale of the US government, Google etc it may be warranted). The real problem is you have too many designers on staff and they have found something to keep themselves busy.
Or maybe don't lend a valuable asset to a game studio.
Congrats on your progress so far :) This stuff is very difficult and it takes a lot of courage to face these things.

I believe high empathy has contributed to some of my difficulties. I've tried therapy a few times before without much luck. Recently I've found a therapist who has helped me immensely. We have a good connection, which is very important. She also uses somatic approaches, with I think is more effective for people who need help working with and processing their emotions. It also seems to be better than standard talk therapy when working with trauma.

Somatic therapy might be helpful for you :) And make sure you feel comfortable and safe with your therapist.
It's a smart move by the entertainment industry to try to rebrand piracy as theft, as the public at large understand theft as a bad thing. Legally though I think it's 'copyright infringement' which sounds a lot less sexy.
> GPT-3 struggles with large numbers, decimal numbers, and negative numbers. When used it returns answers that are close but often incorrect.

Regarding GPT-3's "guesstimates," intuitively it feels like the network has to guess because it hasn't been given a way to do exact computation--a neural network is built out of nonlinear functions--even if it "understands" the prompt (for whatever value you want to give to "understand").

Are there any techniques that involve giving the model access to an oracle and allowing it to control it? To continue the analogy, this would be the equivalent of giving GPT-3 a desk calculator.

If this is a thing, I have other questions. How do you train against it? Would the oracle have to be differentiable? (There are multiple ways to operate a desk calculator to evaluate the same expression.) Also, what control interface would the model need so that it can learn to use the oracle? (Would GPT-3 emit a sequence of 1-hot vectors that represent functions to do, and would the calculator have "registers" that can be fed directly from the input text? Some way of indirectly referring to operands so the model doesn't have to lossily handle them.)
How do you call 911 in aother city? AFAIK, 911 calls always go to the local dispatch center.
Most (all?) US legislatures don't have private voting and are not controlled by dictators; not sure about other countries. Voice voting does happen in some contexts and doesn't leave a record of who voted how, but most contested votes are recorded.

To me, Debian Developer feels more like a position of responsibility and representation than a member of the public. But I'm not one, and I don't know what the expectations are.
No one in crypto typically wants to acknowledge this, but this is the clear and robust answer.

Your keys your coins is obviously a situation rife for unreconcilable fraud, and is not a functional solution for anyone who might - ya know, want to spend these things as a currency.
I probably will. You're right, it might be worth it even if only to better my chances next time.
I'm a long term Debian user, and while I'm not sure I'm super happy with this, which distro are you using that is is more transparent than Debian wrt their decision making process?

It goes without saying that all the commercial distros are disqualified. Anything with a (B)DFL is obviously disqualified. Anything run by a small cabal that could easily communicate in an out of band way is disqualified. What do you have left?

Trustless blockchain doesn't work without payments though. You need an incentive for people to verify transactions.
Funny that this would come up. This event was what inspired the last picture in a book I'm working on.

In the same vein, I actually built a device once that allowed you to send http messages via black and white marbles rolling down a tube. It was very slow (and the simplest message required refilling the hopper many times).

I used some drawings of an old gumball machine to design the dispenser, and I used an Arduino with a color sensor and an LED in a 3d printed tunnel to detect the marble color. I had to bury the sensor inside a tunnel with several twists and turns to block out enough ambient light to get a reliable signal.

Bloody hell that's truly obnoxious. Reminds me of how MPs are exempt from the UK's surveillance programme, Orwell was bang on the money when he portrayed the inner Party members as being able to turn off their telescreens.
On the contrary, this is exactly the kind of post I'd expect from a web3 company.
FWIW VCS for Smalltalk basically does this.

The challenge for a tool like difftastic is that I can't guarantee that syntax is well-formed. You might be using new syntax that my parser doesn't support, you might have merge conflicts, or you might have a plain syntax error in your code.

Tree-sitter handles parse errors gracefully, so difftastic handles syntax errors pretty well in my experience.
Not a lawyer but this seems to be the DMCA system as described by Congress not YouTube.

Perhaps Congress could modify 512 to require proof that you own the copyright / etc instead of just a signature.

See 512c3A (https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512)
Do you really think that countries which use FPTP for elections have a better political culture and public satisfaction than countries which use more proportional systems?

It's not like electoral reform is some wild untested idea that we don't have any data about, globally.
I would find real peace of mind in a design system maintained by a government that guarantees compliance with that government's accessibility requirements.
>Uh, no that's not what I did.

...I'm not sure you can shake off Nobel prize-winning research like that and retain any credibility.

>In this case there isn't.

I think you didn't count some of those infinite possibilities.
Maybe someone could invent the "FDIC" of crypto in smart contract form where everyone pays a periodic premium but if a hack occurs and there is consensus they get a payout.

Only problem is everyone would have to use their own wallets for it to work, and for most people it's safer to store large amounts of crypto on an exchange instead of a wallet for personal security reasons.

I personally much prefer vim due to its infinite portability (I can use the same editor pretty much anywhere), but it came with a big up-front learning curve that I used when I was ramping up on a new codebase anyways.

If you like VSCode and feel productive in it, you should stick with it. If you're in a situation where you're able to go slower and ramp up with vim, I think that would be a good time to try it out. The end-game is that your vim-config is truly portable, and no matter where you go, you'll be able to easily duplicate your work environment. Also, once you master the motions, you'll be much faster navigating bigger code-bases and can easily work on a server if need be.
I have proudly used RFC 1149s and 2549 many times over the years, (as straight faced as possible) as learning aids for INFOSEC and Help desk n00bs. Being able to introduce intentionally humorous material (that is documented within a scientific document process) has been a huge help.
Implementing Cosine in C from Scratch (2020)
The payments are fundamental to it.

Ted Nelson described the Xanadu system in the 1970s which anticipated the web, he recognized a need for creators to get paid and planned to have a micropayments system built in. Practically the web got advertising instead and then the patron and subscription models but somebody could make the case we need something better.

Web3 has the particular horror that simple calculations that could be done on 1% of a cheap VPS instead get replicated across 100,000 nodes. It not only fries the planet but it is fantastically expensive and somebody has to pay for it… and they wish it was you!
