Hi from Italy.
What the parent is saying is correct/partially correct.
Still Italy is a very difficult place to do business for a number of factors: burocracy, cultural attitude (who you know means too much), strict labour legislation, slow justice system just to mention the first few which come to my mind.
If you come from abroad the above factors become 100times harder to manage/understand.
We have a lot of talents and the same amount of weaknesses. Not easy at all.
Still a great place to visit and to spend holidays in. Sorry I don't mean to be harsh.
Intel's legitimate course is to make their CPUs run actually faster than the competition, instead of tricking people into running slower code on the competition.
I think a lot of commenters here would benefit from adjusting their scam-radars. The way you scam people is by offering something that sounds great and plausible, but actually isn't. Consider Theranos, Bernie Madoff, etc. Worldcoin doesn't fit the pattern at all. To almost everyone that they need to sell to, it sounds ridiculous and dystopian. If Sam wanted to scam the poor to make himself richer, why would he make it so difficult for himself? There's far easier ways to do it that would escape public scrutiny.

I don't know whether the approach will work, but we'd have a much more productive conversation if we assumed good intent.
Here's an outline of a emacs/org-roam/org-publish based setup, which might be of help?

It's almost like cancelling was always a garbage idea centered around lies ans deception from the start
Sell illicit goods by renting a fake car on Turo. Easy peasey instant launder.

All these others are thinking to hard. I see it on the airbnbs in the LA hills that are all fake with fake pictures etc. just there to rent to instantly launder a transaction from what I’m guessing.
AMD's software offerings (e.g. look at uProf vs vTune) are functional at best. Intel's are much easier to use, have a lot more documentation, and actually make your life easier versus having basically just a firehose of data.
I'd love an example where the user updates some piece of data. The update should be displayed right away to the user and in a DB.
The thing is: the bits to check for SSE, SSE2, ..., AVX, AVX2, AVX-512? They're in the same spot on Intel and AMD CPUs. So you don't need to switch based on manufacturer. The fact that they force a `GenuineIntel` check makes it seems malicious to many.
Unless the server runs at negative cycles per second, more cycles means more time taken. Did i miss-math?
> How does it handle Doze?

Play Services requires its battery optimization to be set to unrestricted for FCM to work reliably. Other apps keeping a persistent background connection (e.g. Signal w/out Play Services) require the same thing, so this is not specific to Play Services

> FWIW, I have one metric (a rather stupid one, I agree)

Why do you bring it up then? The amount or frequency of data transfer has zero indication of negative privacy impact. What private data could possibly be sent since Play Services doesn't have any privileged access on GrapheneOS?

> "Google services" are 100MB+ proprietary code, sending god knows what to Google

See my above comment.

> I'm guessing you're speaking of microg implementation when you say "roll back the security model".

He has already stated how microG allows signature spoofing which directly directly breaks the Android security model. But CalyxOS breaks the security model further: it also includes the F-Droid and Aurora privileged extensions which give the corresponding apps special privileges to install apps without user interaction. The proper way to do this (without breaking the security model) is to use the Android 12 API for unprivileged, unattended updates.

> Just like the biggest (or maybe second or third, I don't really track that) corporation in the world on their flagship, while they are 50000 times smaller?

It's not okay to stop shipping security updates for 4 months just because someone else is doing it. GrapheneOS shipped those updates with a team of only 5 developers. If CalyxOS cared at all about security and privacy, they would at a bare minimum meet the latest Android patch level and not break the Android security model.
Of course there are. If all companies only publish job openings as a charade and know who they want to hire why go through the charade?
Fast's collapse won't be unique
Oh!

In that case, I think it's a little similar to how I could have gone to college but didn't. I ended up in a good place (as you did too) but maybe had either of us taken a more traditional route, perhaps we could have saved ourselves some time.

Is there anything you'd say to your younger self about these things you didn't do that could have sped things along?
Often it's more for tax evasion. Beth pays for cars as a business expense.

Bob just happens to have the Cayman Islands as the business location.

Money flows from U.S. business as a deductible expense, to the location out of the IRS's reach.

Or there isn't one Beth but lots of people with dodgy credit cards from banks in weird places. Those card holders indeed get their money in suitcases full of folding money, pay for their "rentals" and so the money flows into legitimate commerce. Bob of course pays for this.
Oh yes, I miss Fireworks!
Based on the title, I read this article thinking I was going to read a 'master vulnerability' or weakness of some sort in all major crypto implementations.

I was ready to say 'well actually - as long as you have perfect forward secrecy and maybe a double rachet you can make it virtually impossible to break the encryption at scale blah blah blah', like a good little armchair crypto parrot would.

But instead, I learned a little something new about how cryptography studies work. Thank you HN!
Very common bug actually. I've noticed it on most of the airline and traveling agency websites. Must be those sloppy programmers. I know I'm always extra careless when I have to program something where real money is moving.
Airlines were notorious for these practices (super low advertised price followed by a dozen surcharges at checkout), then a single law made them declare the full final ticket price up front for all reservations. The result – airlines are happy because all their competitors have to abide by the law as well and so everyone is on a level playing field, and customers are happy because their experience is infinitely better.

This law should really apply across the board for all purchases.
Just blue-skying here, but you could have a process that allows the individual to revoke a previously used key pair and generate a new one associated with their biometrics whenever they want. The history of their online identity gets wiped as needed, but they're still a Verified Real Human Being online.

Now of course, again -- the devil's in the details with this central entity and how it acquires/processes/stores those biometrics. And of course that central entity could be be morally/ethically dubious. It would be cool to have a more distributed way of acquiring and processing the biometrics instead of having a corporation run that part.

Also to be clear: I'm not advocating all online communications need to have this identify verification in place. I'm envisioning something like Twitter badges, where you have some identifier that you're a guaranteed real-person, but people can still communicate without that. Like if I'm Reddit, I'm probably not going to care while perusing r/music if someone's a Real Human Being, and similarly if I get a whistleblower tip over an email. If I'm reading r/politics or r/worldnews where disinfo and troll accounts run rampant, I then might want to be able to filter the discussion or interact with Real Human Beings.

I also readily admit my whole excitement for the concept assumes (and it's a big assumption) it's designed and implemented in a way such that it can't be abused. And I'm also not saying Worldcoin is taking the right approach to this overall concept.
Try playing around with the pagespeed link provided in the article. You can see that in the default view the network is set to slow 4G throttling with an RTT of 150 ms so it's going to be impossible to get times like 0.01 seconds. Even just loading https://x.com, a site that literally serves a single character of content "x", gets 0.8 seconds.

Any list price that excludes additional fees should be shown as "Base price" or, better yet, explicitly list what types of additional fees have yet to be added to make up the final price.

For variable fees, you could show a range of prices to show the minimum and maximum possible, or show the base price with an approximate or estimated additional fee.

There are LOTS of ways to be open and clear with the customer about these things without being deceptive.
This is pretty cool, the programs end up looking pretty pleasing to eye. Looks like schematics.
> which is vaguely classifiable as a "chosen-ciphertext attack"

Only if we interpret the jargon at face value as a layman. But is is jargon, with a specific meaning. A chosen-ciphertext attack isn't just any attack in which you send (modified) ciphertext to your victim, it specifically refers to breaking a cipher (by e.g. deriving the key) using the information gained from getting ciphertexts of your choice decrypted. The only information you can gain this way about a one-time-pad is a random keystream that will never be used again for anything.
Part of my job was tech support at the time.

Maybe I am misunderstanding but if you start tweaking the prompt you'll end with something completely different.

The "edit" capability, as far as I can tell please correct me if I got confused, is picking your favorite out of the generated variations.

I would like to "lock" the scene and add instructions like "throw in a reflection".
If Intel did that there probably wouldn't be a software suite at all for their processors.

Compare to vTune just about all open source profilers are either a bad joke or like programming in Basic in a C++ age.
I think they're assuming space efficiency. The article dances around the issue a lot, but doesn't actually say that.

After all, you can convert any function to a time bounded one by writing down a table with the inputs and outputs.
The thing that gets me about Intel's culture, as someone who worked there, was that Intel as an organisation was completely unable to actually accept they'd done anything wrong. Ever.

There are lots of cases where Intel has either screwed up or done things that were unarguably anti-competitive. It happens at every company, I don't like Uber, but I'm not going to blame Uber today for the fuckery that Kalanick got up to.

In each case you could ask the Intel HR, or Intel senior management what they thought about it and it was never Intel's fault. The answers to any questions about this sort of stuff would be full of pettifogging, passsive voice, and legalese. The result was the internal culture was an extremely low trust environment since you knew people were willing to be transparantly intellectually dishonest to further their careers. I haven't been there since Gelsinger arrived but I hope that changes, I wonder how much it can change in the legal environment we're in.
Hilarious and gross at the same time. Big Brother^W^W the 'community' (which community?) is watching you, lest you embrace the wrongthink.

Next step: 'please reconsider your position on issues A B and C, as there are reasonable indications that your physical address may be leaked to those you disagree with'.
Potentially the problem could be that their constant hurry could stress out other team members (including me). They could forget about the fact that not everyone is accustomed to their way of thinking. I mean, sometimes, well thought out ideas can be more beneficial in the long term as well. Others could drop out or lose motivation as everything is changing so fast.
None of the icons are aligned to the pixel grid. Argh.
Maybe you're blinded by your biases. It's not necessarily support for prostitution that you see (with all the seedy implications that your edit makes) but support for any person to have autonomy of their body in whichever way they see fit, including making a living by selling access to it to other people. The only side of sex work which is "wrong" and should be vilified, are the abuses that are prevalent in our society due to its illegality. Morality is not universal, so yours has no more value than anyone else's.
The speed at which you write code is meaningless. Write speed is not the bottleneck for software development. What's far more important is that you take your time, pick names that a human can read and understand, write code that a human can read and understand, and write documentation. An IDE simply does not help with any of the things that lead to good software. If it did, the push to turn software engineering into cheap labor would have been successful, which it wasn't. Software engineering is still part art, part math, and 90% a mental activity and not a physical one.
Agree, I think the fear of someone finding a vulnerability and the original author being held accountable is high enough for almost nobody to open source their code.
People who don't need to drive all the time, but want a car that is out of their budget.
Unfortunately what that all REALLY means is that this system will only catch/charge speeders who also happen to not be able to afford a lawyer to challenge it or take the time off to take it to court.

Without free software we would be in the hand of a couple corporations with nowhere to go.

So yes, I believe in GNU's Free Software.
No, this was definitely intentional. Intel is doing extra work to gate features on the manufacturer ID when there are feature bits which exist specifically to signal support for those features (and these bits were defined by Intel themselves!).

If they had fixed the issue shortly after it was publicly disclosed it might have been unintentional, but this issue has been notorious for over a decade and they still refuse to remove the unnecessary checks. They know what they're doing.

"People who like using Twitter keep using it" is not exactly revelatory though.
This is how it was ending before the push for EU/NATO membership of former Soviet states - a long slow disintegration into independent states run by emergent tycoons and kleptocrats propped up by new markets. For instance, a global mining company promises investment in a region if they can get a new government with favorable policies for them. The old Russian plutocrats get a piece of the business and everybody’s happy.

Now it’s different. Putin’s regime may not survive this crisis, but regardless, ‘the west’ has once again become a threat to all Russians, and the next regime may be a response to that. I’ll accept any recent example of a interventionist war-driven regime change as evidence against this prediction. A nationalist Russian Federation is a lot more dangerous to us than a kleptocracy.

The press loves to characterize Putin as a madman. Same with Saddam Hussein and Muammar Ghaddafi and every other flashy dictator with expensive tastes. This is just stupid. Their thinking is more like an overpaid CEO than fundamentalist zealot. That makes them predictable and controllable. You don’t know what will come with the next regime. Even if you remove all animosity and nationalism, there’s still going to be a fight over resources. Putin had an entire state military apparatus to use against his people to secure those resources for himself. We do too, but the cost will be much higher.

Putin was willing to sell his country just for a little bit of luxury and personal security. I’m not saying that was a good thing, but it was a structure that we knew how to deal with. The military and economic posture to effectively deal with radical populism may be very different. Pontificating on this subject has been all the rage among military theorists since Huntington’s thesis, with trillions spent on the assumption that we knew what we were doing. Now we learn that we didn’t get it quite right.

There’s a lot I don’t understand about the doctrine that guides ‘the west’, and I’m not necessarily skeptical, just uninformed in some ways. I’d like to understand the threat model we are operating under, and the basic strategy to control those threats. Or maybe it’s economic opportunity we are after. For whom? What does the world look like in their best vision of it? Do the nations and people that oppose ‘the west’ have an accurate view of that, or has it been unfairly demonized? Somewhere there is either a legitimate clash of interests, or a severe miscommunication. Perhaps we ought to commit to only killing each other over the former, and keeping track of exactly what that is. Somehow I doubt that wars could be sustained in that circumstance.
> In retrospect, we built too much product.

This answer is so generic, but so apt. Everyone can throw around phrases like KISS or MVP or try to implement methodology like agile, but it's so hard to just identify _what_ you want (or need) to build.

We're looking at a major revamp/rewrite/refactor of our main product that previously had been built with the idea of being able to solve every problem our customers face. This decrepit, aging codebase has so many bandaid fixes for every conceivable "what if" scenario that it's just become unmaintainable.
Sales tax is worse than state dependent, they are city dependent.
Same. It's shocking how visibly my social circle shrinks as my ability to make new friendships also diminishes. I don't know if it's a part of getting in to my mid-30s (and all my friends now making families, moving away) or the pandemic, or both, but I find myself increasingly with no one to talk to.
I agree we could have elaborated on auth, API endpoints or parametric routes (maybe a follow up !).

But this example does showcase a few things you don't typically get with a single vanilla HTML file:

- JSX + reusable/shared components

- Multiple URLs / pages

- Tailwind
That's a terrible way to think and oddly an excuse I hear a lot. If that's the case, there would be no OSS software, every OSS starts off crappy and full of bugs and usually not even close to finished.

The goal of OSS is not to show off your skills as some elite programmer.
> It's not necessarily support for prostitution that you see (with all the seedy implications that your edit makes) but support for any person to have autonomy of their body in whichever way they see fit, including making a living by selling access to it to other people.

Great. Let's legalize selling yourself into slavery while we're at it.

Morality is universal, it's not mine though.
With glide I think we've reached something of a plateau in terms of architecture on the "text to image generator S curve". DALL-E-2 is a very similar architecture to glide and has some notable downsides (poorer language understanding)

glid-3 is a relatively small model trained by a single guy on his workstation (aka me) so it's not going to be as good. It's also not fully baked yet so ymmv, although it really depends on the prompt. The new latent diffusion model is really amazing though and is much closer to DALLE-2 for 256px images.

I think the open source community will rapidly catch up with Openai in the coming months. The data, code and compute are all there to train a model of similar size and quality.
Well, I am replying to a thread on an xkcd comic, so that is the level of seriousness that we're playing at! =)

But, ok, seriously, yes I am an armchair futurist, and also used to play go with my uncle (I am terrible at it), so since chess fell I've been waiting for go to fall too.

I am a believer in exceptional people and teams entering a space and turning established thought on its head. Another example would be spaceX. If you'd have said, ten years ago, that we'd have reusable rockets, that land on their tails like a 1950s sci-fi movie, you'd have been laughed at. On a boat! Ha ha! Crazy! Boeing still don't believe it, given what they've just managed to roll out. I've personally built my career on doing what others have said is impossible.

So, seriously then, sure, if enough people have been saying that something is still 10 years away, then other people have been listening, noticing the opportunity, working on it quietly, and a solution could happen later today.
>We’ve limited the ability for DALL·E 2 to generate ... adult images.

I think that using something like this for porn could potentially offer the biggest benefit to society. So much has been said about how this industry exploits young and vulnerable models. Cheap autogenerated images (and in the future videos) would pretty much remove the demand for human models and eliminate the related suffering, no?

Reading the Tea Leaves: Expert End-Users Explaining the Unexplainable
An even more tantalizing result by the prolific Rafael and Yanyi is the following paper [1] which discusses how to relate the existence of one-way functions to the assumption that BPP \neq EXP (two classes).

If you spend the time understanding just the statement of their result in that paper, you get to an eerily small gap between "heuristic algorithms" for a version of the time-bounded K-complexity, and "errorless" versions of it.

Their line of research has been even more inspiring than this very well-written quanta article suggests.
