In the heart of Portland, Oregon.

It was safe as fuck before the pandemic. I grew up in Los Angeles and lived in East LA awhile; lived in Bedford-Stuyvesant two years; lived in the Tenderloin for a year (not the way it is now). I've also lived in Prague, Barcelona, Saigon, Bangkok, Sydney (King's Cross, before the fall of it). The total chaos and anarchy of Portland right now is hard to explain. Almost everyone I know has been attacked on the street, or a victim of random violence in the past two years. Every other city in America that had a meth or fentanyl problem gave their worst cases a one-way bus ticket to Portland, in part because "let the liberals deal with it". I was a die-hard liberal progressive two years ago, before I had savage children on drugs waging running melees with rocks and trying to rape each other's girlfriends in front of my house all night. Now I'm just waiting for the night I have to shoot someone coming into my house.

I think the only other place I sort of felt this way was Avignon. I lived on Rue des Teinturieres. It's a bit of a siege mentality when the drug dealers outside your window are blasting music so loud it sounds like they're standing over your bed at night.

At the start of the pandemic, Portland police announced they would no longer respond to any emergency calls unless a person's life was in danger. And the district attorney ran and won on the platform that he wouldn't prosecute anyone for any crime short of murder. The result is a free-fire zone. I showed up at my local bar a couple months ago and it was a crime scene with 30-40 bullet casings scattered under the table where I usually have a drink. My friend who had walked home from there a few nights prior had been jumped and had his leg broken because he was gay- by a man wearing full Joker makeup, who is still sitting and laughing to himself on the corner two blocks from my house. A boy and his girlfriend camped their van in front of my place and the boy beat their dog with a long metal pole, screaming and high on drugs. The neighbors tried calling animal services, the police wouldn't come, and this went on for days and nights, with the dog yelping in pain until I went in the street with a gun and told him it was time to leave. He got in their van screaming at me, and wrecked it into six parked cars around the corner. And finally he got arrested.

Shit, okay, I should stop.
I don't like it either. I got good news for you and bad news. The good news is that emoji usage seems higher in open source/side-projects than in professional environments. The bad news is that yes, some people, even professionally, do use emojis instead of words. It is horrible, but I'm afraid it's only gonna get more popular as the population of young people become... Not young and joins the professional workforce.
Hej! We are three friends in Gothenburg, Sweden. Fueled by delicious Vietnamese ice coffee we have spent our evenings and weekends building the travel website that we felt was missing.

There are plenty of websites that help you decide how to get to a place, where to stay, and what to do. Humbo helps you decide where to go in the first place.

Today, we have 684 936 photos, 275 657 places, weather data from 3 292 weather stations, and 1 408 ratings. We keep improving our content with the help of both humans and AI, to present more and more helpful information about places around the world.

You can try it out by creating your travel bucket list or rating a few places that you have been to. Perhaps you have visited one of the world's happiest cities? https://humbo.io/humbo/lists/the-20-happiest-cities-in-the-w... Or one of the world's best places for food? https://humbo.io/humbo/lists/40-best-food-cities-in-the-worl...

Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
Würde nicht funktionieren, weil es die zweite Bedeutung von "ist oft hierher gekommen" nicht beinhaltet. Zumindest nicht, wenn man es grammatikalisch korrekt haben wollen würde.

Translation:
Wouldn't work because it doesn't include the second meaning of "has come here many times". At least not if you wanted it to be grammatically correct.

It all depends on context. They did write "[...] the 10% performance improvement was significant for the service that I was working on."
careful or you'll get banned or downvoted here :P
I don't get why they are not just talking to each other, is it that hard to say "I'll be in on Wednesday, will you? So we can chat about X" and why are so many people living 2 hours away from where they work then complaining about it. Like you chose to live there and work elsewhere.
The title is very misleading. This is a thin 10-line Gradio GUI in front of the Huggingface Pipeline API, the latter of which will download 1000+ python files, a professionally pre-trained 1GB asr model, and a 500MB language model. But to all of that, Gradio isn't contributing. They are merely the GUI framework.

"Gradio GUI Python Package is compatible with Huggingface Inference Python Package"

Yeah, duh.

Also, I'm surprised that they chose Mozilla DeepSpeach which was last updated in 2020 instead of wav2vec2 which is actually competitive in recognition quality.

EDIT: BTW if you're curious, you can try out many of the Huggingface pre-trained models here:

and for example here's a Facebook pre-trained English model with good performance that you can easily embed into your own Python apps. [Use in Transformers] button at the top right of the page.

Of course, why would you trust a piece of software created by your government to fill out the forms in a way that benefits yourself instead of them?

> What's hard is accurately surveying the last 15 years of systems built on top of Linux's needlessly-complicated LRNG and making changes that don't violate the expectations of those systems.

Sounds like they need a compatibility or feature (cmdline) flag.

Add the flag and you can use the new improved system. Establish dates for when the old method will not be the default anymore (but can be used with the flag) and when it will be deprecated for good
Could hypermiling be the answer to soaring fuel costs?
Do you know I believe this without even reading those articles? Because MDMA is nothing new. Really it’s not. All it does is artificially increase serotonin. This is not a change of paradigm, it’s the same old thinking that never ends up helping anyone. And the only people who package drug that does the same thing as an old drug that never helps anyone are sociopaths.
tbh, sounds like the user hates the cloud... and rightly so, it's a mess and strips users of more freedoms than just using propietary tools which stop working one day.
Ask HN: How to monetise a group of idle computers
I'm managing a large group of computers as an admin, that are turned on, but not doing anything. Would love to make a few extra bucks by utilising these 50+ computers.

Any ideas that don't involve crypto mining?
Congratulations on the GraphQL launch. I think it is a step in the right direction :)

I see a lot of mentions of Hasura in the comments.

If you'd like what Supabase is building but prefer using Hasura you might want to check out what we're building at Nhost (http://nhost.io/). We use Hasura's GraphQL Engine for the API layer while also providing Postgres, Auth, Storage and Serverless Functions.

> Wouldn't the random calls look suspicious to the abuser in this circumstance?

No, precisely because random calls from suppressed numbers are so common for spam.
I don't think there's any vulnerability in your repo as it is. It's not deserializing attacker controlled data, it's deserializing a string which was serialised by the application. There could be a vulnerability if, instead of accepting a String, the controller accepted some other class, which itself had custom serialisation logic which was vulnerable.
They don't though?
They'd follow through if person a profited from fraud,then died and inherited that money to a third person.

With companies it just ends there and then
Yeah, MDMA will simply stop working for you for a while after you do it a few times in a row. Alcohol, not really.
True but you can have Gnu/musl/Linux too...maybe we can call it pure-gnu-toolchain-linux if you want ;)
Why do we tolerate personal data brokerage companies?
This is not a matter of licensing at all. Nor is it about "GNU tools" being used to create something.
Hmmm, so given the close affiliation between the Telegraph and the Tory party - do we know why the Telegraph is so pro-cash? What's the political angle on it? We can be certain it's not because of its importance to the disadvantaged.

I'm pro-cash but now I must wonder.
You might have missed this statement in the article:

> German authorities were of course also customers of the company

Though I don't think that's what the title was implying, I think it means German "nationality" rather than German "state-owned".

Honestly I don't even know how you'd go about learning that stuff. English is such a mishmash of words, phrases and rules that I consider myself lucky I grew up with it and don't have to try and make sense of this nonsense.
> Then they coupled in "shutdown on low battery" and refuse to allow it to be disabled

Would you rather have your computer crash when it runs out of battery, or shutdown gracefully at 2 percent battery.
Yeah, if my company did that I would leave.
Pay is pay.
Unfortunately I don't have a direct reference for you, but I'm pretty sure Aristotle talks a bit about this sort of idea in The Nichomachean Ethics. Something like "be a good human in the sense that a tree or a machine is good". To him, contributing to ones community and participating in (Athenian) politics is the highest good for the learned person.
In many cases, in my experience, it’s because it’s way more efficient face to face. You can always follow up with written confirmation.
Visiting a bank branch? What is this, 1998? Use an app or a website like a normal human.
sure. I don't applaud these other despicables either, fwiw they should be stripped of their assets exceeding 1 Billion (the minute they hit that mark) or they should be fair game to the masses to hunt them down. But hey that's just my opinion as an absolute nobody so it doesn't matter what I think (luckily). In contrast all these people with a god-syndrome think their opinions matter and their sh1t doesn't stink. It is up to nobodies like us to bring them back to reality so they don't ever forget that this isn't some religious cult they're running.

And especially RMS! I happen to have enjoyed his company at a dinner after a linux conf in the 90ies so my opinions about him are extremely harsh. The man is in love with himself and will be happy to walk over anyone younger or more junior than him and he will also not give credit to others. Maybe he changed after all these years but last I heard he was ousted from the FSF for some horrid behavior?

As I said I'm perfectly capable of holding multiple opinions about RMS because it's important to separate the man from his work. But I refuse to answer demands of stroking his ego when what I actually want to do is ask him a series of question about his upbringing and his fragile personality and his relationship to his mother who sadly never slapped him or the dad who he probably never knew.
There are negligible chances that a fusion reaction like hydrogen-boron will ever be achieved by thermal means.

If such fusion reactions will ever be used, some means to accelerate the nuclei will have to be used, so that they will have a directed movement not a random thermal movement.

So there will be no billion degree plasma in thermal equilibrium, radiating gamma-ray photons.

Some high-energy photons will be produced in secondary reactions, but that cannot be compared to standard fusion, where producing neutrons is the intended result of the reactions.

It cannot be predicted yet how much shielding might be needed, but in any case that would not be comparable with the needs of standard fusion.

The real problem of the hydrogen-boron fusion is that, for now, there is no known method that could ensure a high-enough probability of collisions between accelerated nuclei and a solid target or other accelerated nuclei, so that the rate of collisions would be high enough to generate more energy than consumed.
The only way to change the point of view seems to click on another star. All I can do with the mouse (actually the touchpad) is rotate and zoom. It would be nice to be able to move from one star to another with arrow keys, FTL as in Star Trek.
Sometimes (frequently) you want an arms-length/plausibly-deniable relationship so that government can do edgy/illegal stuff but duck the blowback if it all goes pear-shaped or gets exposed to the sanitising light of day. See also extraordinary rendition.

Speaking of computers commanding us ... a few years ago, I was visiting a friend's parents (practicing dentists). They told me in horror how Microsoft forcefully upgraded their work machines to Windows 10 overnight. And one of their applications stopped working due to the upgrade.

That's the first time I learnt that Windows was using that approach (I'm blissfully away from Windows; I dwell in the Linux world.) It was painful to watch them ask "how come this machine does such a big task [upgrade] forcefully?"
It is possible, but the proof's effort grows combinatorially with the size of the program. The large majority of "real software" is not amenable to this kind of test, making the mathematical theorem very concrete.
This is the pattern that's in the Spring code, which is why I wrote it there.

I agree with you though that it seems non-obvious.

My thought is that it's possible to build a payload that is able to go from "serialize(string) -> deserialize(string) -> object".

If it's possible to do that, then there is some possibility that there is an RCE here. But I'd still have to poke at the @CacheResult annotation to understand what a vulnerable usage would look like.

First thing is first though. Start with the simplest case. Prove or disprove exploitability before moving up the chain.
I see how low interest rates increase demand. But in my opinion the lack of supply is a much bigger issue. Most people have most of their net worth in their homes, and spend their political will ensuring nothing new is built. That and related phenomenon I put under a broad “zoning laws” statement. We need to incentivize building more, taller. That’s it.
There's a South Park episode that takes the idea that Guitar Hero players are more skilled and renowned than actual guitar players.

There's a scene where one of the kids plays an acoustic set of guitar hero, and people listen deeply and applaud him tapping on an unplugged guitar hero controller.

The high tech of computers and digital cameras and printers is irrelevant.

All that matters is that all of those things are as common as potatos, and from now on always will be. It doesn't matter how they change over time, only that any random person has access to them on any form, which they do and always will now.

And in particular, printers and paper are by far the most ubiquitous form of reproduction, and they don't require any kind of lab. Printers are everywhere, and everyone can use any of them, directly and immediately.

That is not remotely as true for film, even today let alone later. Not even in the same universe. Not even back in the days of 1hour photomats in shopping plaza parking lots, and those days are long gone.

Even today when you can still actually buy film, who has a darkroom? They exist, but where and how many? Not in every other kitchen and den, but printers are. And so are digital cameras and computers, by which I mean phones not just laptops.

I have the means to produce a printed paper right in my dining room, and so does my mother, and my mother in law, and my sister in law, and brother in law, and my brother, and the coffee shop, and the pizza shop... and none of them has a darkroom or even a film camera.

Even if I wanted to put a qr code onto film, how would I even do it?

The first step would probably be I'd have to print it just so I could take a picture of it, with a film camera I don't have, and film I don't have, and send it somewhere to get developed. It's patently absurd since I already had the paper. Even if I didn't have a printer, and had to take a picture of a screen, there are 9000x more convenient and immediate ways to print the image than by getting film developed.

All film is good for is it's smaller than paper and it's lower bar to read the finished developed film than things like a cd or a thumb drive. But the size is not the most important thing, and the means to create the film is important to the usefulness of a whole system, not just reading it.
Would you rather have to pay a bit of attention or have a computer that just randomly shuts down when it gets confused about battery state, since that's the scenario parent is describing?
Making Remote Mentorship Effective
Of course stay away from crowded, public, indoor spaces.

But keeping your kids indoors is not considerate towards anyone. It is simply abusive to your kids.

The Load Balancer is there because the M1 Max has two independent Neural Engines (unlike the GPU cores, which are load balanced in hardware and the OS sees as a single one even on the Ultra)... but one ANE is inexplicably disabled on all production systems. The M1 Ultra, logically, has four... and only the first in each die is enabled.

I was waiting for the Mac Studio to drop to come to a conclusion, since it's plausible one ANE could've been disabled for power reasons on the laptops... but with both secondary ANEs in each die in the M1 Ultra off, and with no reports of anyone seeing the first ANE being disabled instead (which could mean it's a yield thing), I'm going to go ahead and say there was a silicon bug or other issue that made the second ANE inoperable or problematic, and they just decided to fuse it off and leave it as dead silicon on all M1 Max/Ultra systems.
Yes it mostly always does. To think that it's not is to be in a position where you have to much of it.
Bear in mind that not everyone is particularly career-focused. I'm perfectly happy getting "meets expectations" at annual reviews, and if I'm not happy with the pay rise (as happened to me last week), I'm happy looking for another job to get the bump I want.

People who bother to go on HN probably skew more towards career-focused than not, but plenty of people are very happy doing the work given to them and no more.
Low c conservative, not too fond of new technologies or rapid change.

Also classic upper l Liberal tendency towards freedom from tracking, Id cards etc.

In terms of money, limiting cash affects small businesses whose owners tend to vote conservative.

In recent years the Tory party has a larger share of "working people" lower middle class, who also prefer cash, (cash in hand etc) but who won't read the Telegraph.

Basically it's about their voter base.

For me, I tend to use cash often for small things from smaller places but in larger amounts for street taxis (good, fast and very easy to get), for street / box charity and church service donations.
Hackers Steal About $600M in One of the Biggest Crypto Heists
Another advantage of hydrogen-boron fusion is that all the reaction products are charged. Therefore (theoretically) it would be possible to use *very* efficient magnetohydrodynamic methods of converting the reaction energy to electric energy.

More mainstream fusion methods have to go through the typical hot water -> steam -> steam turbine route. There is a theoretical limit to the efficiency of this conversion (around 40%). In addition, the cost of electricity has a lower limit based on the capital expense of the steam turbine/generator. H-B11 fusion could be order of magnitudes cheaper.

The office is not as bad as people make it out to be. Its commuting that really sucks. I used to hate working in the office and then I moved to an apartment next to work and I decided to walk in even while WFH was an option because I did slightly prefer going to the office and being with everyone.

I wouldn't call that easy. Downloading source, doing a patch and rebuilding once is doable[1] with some manual work. But even that doesn't last, it's extremely brittle the moment you try to update anything. Debian isn't build with forks in mind, it wants one big monolithic dependency tree and when you move away from that it falls apart quickly. Which is the reason why they recommend to remove all third party stuff whenever you do a dist-upgrade.

maybe you could do something with race conditions?

it's an interesting question: is there a clever way to extract random bits from a clocked ttl system by driving it in some weird way that is platform independent enough to cover the bases that don't already have hardware support for generating random bits (or have cycle counters)?

i suppose the problem is that not all chips have a cycle counter so extracting clock drift/jitter isn't always feasible... i wonder what else could work...

race conditions could be an interesting way to try to draw random bits, but probably very hardware dependent... i wonder if there are other glitchy things...
