> The software analogy I like to use is trying to reflect a change in your source code by modifying the binary directly without recompiling.

Not sure about kayson, but I've done essentially that on a couple occasions (usually to some C++ abomination that refuses to compile away from the authors' build server). It's not that difficult.[0]

> Unlike those pirate crackers who sometimes can pull this off, imagine you have no idea what the binary does, and even if you "run" it in simulation (super slowly) everything is gibberish.

Realisticly, you usually do have a pretty good idea what the chip does[1], and may have 'extra'/'lost' stock from the previous revision to compare its behaviour against, especially if you're attacking something popular enough to be worth compromising (= probably more than one batch ordered).

I was a heavy Usenet user but the Usenet population was such a small fraction of the world's population (and the Usenet post mechanics were much less targeted) that I didn't have the same kinds of interactions on Usenet as I do on Twitter.
The key is to just stop caring about absolute pixel count. All that matters is the angular pixel density, with regular pixel density being sufficient when compared within a “class” of viewing distance (e.g. handheld, laptop, desktop, couch).

So many doctors have an origin story that's rooted in Illusion of Control.

I became an oncologist because my mother died of cancer. I became an neurosurgeon because my cousin died of a brain tumor. They built a whole personality around a scared kid who vowed that one day they would know what is in the darkness and defeat it. But the darkness is vast and our time is very short.

We are just beginning to talk about how many doctors are walking around with PTSD they got on the job. Nobody is talking about the ones who already had it before they even got accepted into college.
Ah, strange. I'd just looked at Dell's site, but couldn't configure the Developer Edition for anything over 16GB. Probably my fault I couldn't figure it out... plus their order/configure site is terrible.

NASA also funded experiments into the microwave engine thing [1], and that turned out to be bunk [2].

The point is, these are just tests. They give them a fair shake and see what happens. I highly suspect there are simply too many problems with flinging stuff into space for it to be practical.

No, because the defined contract for free() is that you pass it a pointer that was previously returned from malloc(), that you don't try to free() it twice, etc.

> If you can't figure out how to [install machine learning environments], then you really shouldn't be in this field.

Fundamentally, I disagree with you here. I read this as a mentality that excludes unnecessarily. I hope we both can both come to agree that one should not be excluded from computation and computational tools just because they do not know how to install things.

This “service fee” style confusing pricing seems to be something that the US uniquely has a tolerance for. Outside of airlines and maybe hotels, it’s very uncommon in Australia. When US multinationals started doing it here (Uber is notorious for it), it came across as fairly uniquely slimy. It fools absolutely nobody to the point where I can’t possibly imagine why you’d even try it in this market unless you’re extremely tone deaf.
I picked up this comment from a HN user in another thread but it got no traction, seeing Germany drag it's feet on sending arms and Zelensky's recent comments about blood money I think it's especially relevant...
"seeing as we're heading into spring, seeing Germany has quite a wealthy economy and QOL, that many if not most workers get 5 weeks of holiday, the chip shortage is leading to slowdowns in the automotive industry etc... why doesn't the government just go cold turkey, give people a month or 2 free holidays while drastically reducing public lighting, telling businesses to stop heating their premises at night etc etc... I mean we had a dress rehearsal 2 years ago with the onset of Covid, this would be better ,for a good cause, probably give a boost to domestic spending and send a f...U to the rest of the world saying we too can think outside of the box :-)"

I know it may seem naive, but how so?
Gave me a chuckle. I'd call that comprehensive without being overbearing as to the risks of the project for a competent maker. Kudos to makezine.
My basic understanding is when we are strength training we are putting tiny tears in our muscle fibers. The body then uses protein to heal those tears and make the muscle fiber bigger as part of that process, allowing us to train even harder in the future.

Elastic bands are relatively just static objects.

If there’s one thing I’ve seen across all rural regions of India, it’s terrible violence against the weak, irrespective of caste. This has been the same, probably for thousands of years.Categorisation with caste probably makes some sizeable chunk of it, but still it’s across the spectrum of castes, not just limited to a few.
Even if we were to take that as 100% truth, how would it make Ukraine the instagator? Russia invaded the Donbas region years ago and there has been an ongoing shooting war (albeit a largely stalemated one) ever since. But Russia is still responsible for starting the war.
In human body, new cells are created every day which is not case with elastic band. Best anology could be economy. If you keep creating wealth and not spending one day you reach your limitations. Continously churning and creating gives boost to economy.

Bodies heal unlike machines. Maintaining capacity of tissues has energy costs. The body does not want to waste energy maintaining capacity that it does not need. Therefore if your day to day existence does not demand a high level of fitness to function, you will decondition . You must provide stressful stimulus to the body to let it know the level of condition it needs to maintain to be properly adapted.
That nuclear power plants are operated by fossil-energy companies explains why I keep hearing from Germany that the companies running the nuclear plants have no interest in expanding their life at this point.

The KSM is staked to ensure concencus of the network. proof of stake is like proof of work, but instead you are betting that this node is behaving and the node themselves are running cryptographic hash schemes like bitcoin. So like bitcoin, you are paid for validating the concensus of the network so you are paid that APR. Taken another step further, if you create a smart contract and lock the KSM in it, and that smartcontract stakes the coin for you, it can mint LKSM that proves your ownership in the pool. Slowly but surely the price of LKSM and KSM will diverge in LKSM's favor since the KSM in the smart contract is generating returns for being staked. So you can always redeem it with a slowly appreciating exchange rate. So all that to have a liquid form of staked KSM. You can now use the LKSM to mint AUSD and you can trust you can pay that back because you have colateral lockeed in a vault. Now when i participate n pools, I earn fees for providing liquidity of two assets. Now when people are trading, they can dip into the pool, swap their assets and no one has to be on the 'Other-side' of the trade. They get minimal slippage, and i get paid a trade fee that's much lower than what you can get in traditional finance (Usually fractions of a penny).

>how is this any different, for example, from a company issuing bonds at 4% coupon rate and using the proceeds to fund operations when the company's profit margin is, say, 50%?

It's nothing like that. Because A.) It's not getting people to loan me money. Company issuing bonds at 4% has to pay that 4% to get access to their assets because it's 'Risky'. In the blockchain there is no risk because they have constant oracle access to the price of the underlying asset so i can do it for free, with no counter party. Simple a piece of code collectively floating on thousands of nodes running around the world.
Anything can happen. AWS gives you tools to manage costs, and bill shock stories are usually told by people that didn’t know about those tools. AWS unofficially gives their customers a once-off bill amnesty (within certain not publicly defined parameters) on the proviso that you set up cost alerting properly. I had to play this card at my current employer when I forgot to scale down an RDS instance. They’re very nice about it.
And most of them were looted.

There are a lot of low level mechanisms that improve health with exercise. The basic breakdown is some things like digestion where optimized by evolution around the fact our ancestors moved. For similar reasons UV light in childhood are a requirement for normal vision exercise was simply universal for a very long time.

A lower level example is feedback mechanisms. Mechanical stress from motion are used to maintain bone strength. The cells involved in bone breakdown and repair can detect damage and reinforce where needed, but they also remove bone where it’s not needed. Without that kind of feedback our bones would either be weak or heavy.

The same thing happens with your circulatory system, you grow new capillaries in response to demand. Or for a “negative” example fat cells reproduce when you can store more energy.
I really liked owning my own business (MRI-compatible computer peripherals 2006-2011), and I'll very likely start another unrelated small business in the future. I also like to do YouTube videos as a hobby or at least Patreon-supported hobby, and not depend on them for main income, because I think it changes the character of the videos. If I depended on videos, I'd probably also start thumbnail optimization, A/B testing, YouTube face, sensationalistic titles, growth hacking, and all the stuff that I don't like as a viewer, but genuinely works to make more money. Patreon support has been a huge help in this regard.

So long as the transaction was fair...

But, Musk has stated that he wanted to take Twitter private. Doesn't that change the calculations somewhat? I mean, you want to buy all of the shares at once, otherwise, how do you determine the fair market price for the last hold-out shares? They would be worth more that the early sellers.

I guess I'm saying that because he has a stated interest in taking the company private, this is more complicated than a traditional M&A event. (Hence why it may not be worth it to do this as a hostile takeover).
"Until then, devs should at least be aware that building a product with these APIs is risky."

To be fair, building products with Google APIs is also risky. Google used to offer a YouTube API for free. People like me used it for personal use. Then one day Google unilaterally decided to discontinue it.^1 There are other examples of APIs that Google has changed or deprecated then discontinued.

1. To me, this is the great disadvantage of "web APIs". A "web API" is like a non-public version of a public website that the operator can easily limit access to or shut down at any time, without affecting the public website. Arguably the public-facing website is more difficult and less likely to suddenly change or shut down than a "web API". Given a choice between retrieving public data/information from a "web API" versus from the pages of a public website (or wherever the pages source their contents), I prefer the later.

Building any sort of web-based business dependent on some irreplaceable third party, such as Google, is risky.^2 When the third party makes a decision that affects someone else's dependent business, there is usually nothing the business owner can do. We see stories about this on HN from time to time. This is a control issue, folks. It is what happens when people voluntarily cede control to a third party intermediary.

2. Is it worth the risk? That is another question.

One difference between something like this free JS library on Github and an "official" Google API is that we can edit and adapt the JS library if the structure or content of YouTube's video page template changes, whereas if a YouTube API is changed or discontinued, we can do nothing. (Except complain, which rarely ever results in an API being restored.)

There used to be a free YouTube API. I had scripts that used it. Today I use the video page's HTML and JSON, not an API. (I more or less make an API for myself.) Unlike the script I once used with YouTube's API that is now useless, the script I use today keep working for the long-term. I have only had to change it twice in the last decade. These were very small changes that only took a short time to fix. (It seems like folks wait much longer for fixes to youtube-dl.)
That’s why attribution requirements are stupid. Of course, as a matter of politeness and ethics, one ought to acknowledge the work of others you build upon. But elevating it from an informal principle to a formal legal requirement puts people in the unpleasant position of having either to deal with endless and ever-changing attribution bureaucracy, or just ignore it all and hope nobody ever complains (or sues). Zero attribution licenses don’t do that to people.
You missed the relevant portion of the article, just before your quote:

It's the Eth people who constantly say it's 6 months away. Bitcoin people say that PoW is necessary for security and that PoS in Eth will be less secure, and also concentrates wealth and gains on that wealth into the hands of a small group.
From the start:

1. Decide who's going to take point on fixing this (one single person). This person has the final say on how it will be done.

2. Get input from all parties to extract as much information as possible, with the understanding that a lot of it will involve conjecture and opinion, and that the pointman will decide what to do in the end. This changes the relationship from rival to lobbyist (an important psychological distinction).

3. The pointman thanks the other person for their input, and then implements their best judgment based on the information at hand.

4. If the solution fails, reconvene, assess whatever new information came out of the attempted solution (without judgment, blame, or I-told-you-so), and then decide on the next plan of attack (Is there already another avenue to try? Do you need to do more research and reconvene again? Do you want to switch who takes point?)

5. Collaborate to write a blog post about what you learned. If two professionals have such divergent opinions on the solution, it's likely a difficult problem with many gotchas that others will appreciate reading about.

Difference of professional opinion is an empowering thing, offering learning and even potentially the discovery of new knowledge; the trick is to channel it skillfully to a constructive end.

Obviously I was not "broke" in the sense that I had no possessions of any value. With that definition nobody is ever broke unless they are naked with nothing left to sell other than their labor.

I had plenty of things of value, like a trading card collection, a personal computer, a phone. But no bank would ever accept any of these things as a collateral for a loan.

I could have sold things I owned, but I didn't want to lose any of the things I had collected over the years. Having access to digital things of value made it possible to take out a loan without having to sell anything.

You say crypto added higher costs and worse UI, but do you have any evidence for this? I was able to get a few months income on my bank account in less than an hour of work, at a rate that is more favorable than any mortgage rate currently offered by banks (with mortgage rates almost at an all-time low).

Digital value does not have to be limited to bank accounts, just like physical value does not have to be limited to cash. If I have other physical things of value (like collectible trading cards) I can trade these with other people directly or use them as collateral for cash loans with any third party. Why are digital things of value limited to bank accounts? If other digital things of value exist, and we have standardised interfaces for digital valuables, that enables incredible amounts of flexibility in financial transactions, such as using things I have as collateral for loans, without requirements for appraisal, risk assessment, fraud protections, etc.

If I had traditional financial assets I could have used those and use the traditional financial system to get credit, but I didn't have any of those. I had other things of value, and because they are digital, with standard interfaces, I was able to get credit, which I otherwise wouldn't be able to get.

I'm only offering some kind of anecdotal evidence here that some people do in fact get some utility from these things. To me personally, it was very convenient to have this option at the time. If I get into a similar situation in the future, I would use it again.

From the article :

"A successor to the U.N. or a modified U.N. must follow this war. It must be an organization where one nation cannot escape accountability because it is in a special class. Tyrants and despots are watching this war and will learn what they can get away with. Other nations will draw lessons about giving up nuclear weapons. The stakes in the outcome of the present conflict cannot be overstated. Undoubtedly, the interest in ending the conflict and providing off-ramps is high. Policymakers will have to balance providing a face-saving exit for a nuclear-armed autocrat against saving the international rules-based system. They will need to be creative about ending the war and considerate of the lessons learned when shaping a successor organization or modified U.N. system. Whatever the new organization, a total veto by one special status state will be antithetical to the purpose of that body. There are many ideas on how to address this problem"
