I like Project Binky, it's great viewing. But it's kinda on the border of proving my point.

After all, nobody is following along at home, putting a Toyota Celica engine into their own mini.

When they need to make a wiring harness, or configure an ECU, they're not showing it one cable and one adjustment at a time - that would make for very boring viewing, even if it would be useful as reference material for anyone trying to reproduce their project.

Just like a chess youtuber, very few of Project Binky's viewers are there to study, following along with pencil and paper. Most of their viewers are there to be entertained.

I will admit their videos are substantially more technical than most on Youtube. But because of that, they don't make enough money to go full-time. Actually doing the work constrains them to a video every 1-2 months. In contrast, Hikaru has put out 13 youtube videos in the last 7 days.

Rapid-fire, easily accessible content with broad audience appeal brings in the ad revenue that makes a channel self-supporting.

Slowly produced, niche content for study and reference has to be subsidised by the youtuber having another job.
There's a difference between "media companies may have conflicts of interest or ideological bents" and "every single proposition ever stated by a journalist is specifically false".
You can know that North Korean government does bad things but still be against sanctions. It is not self evident that broad sections help the situation or the people of NK.
I was always under the impression that a snapshot should be an short-lived thing. E.g. you take a snapshot, make a backup or copy from that, then delete the snapshot. Where I work, the VM admins will only allow one snapshot at any point in time without special request and justification, and they encourage deleting the snapshot within 72 hours.
Per the article, if you experience < 95% uptime in any 30 day window you qualify for a 50% discount. On a month or your next year or ... ? it doesn't say.

> Verbal harassment is a crime. Someone can serve a year in jail for it the state of Colorado

Would you be so kind as to link to the text of the law in question? I expect that a critical part of the law will be something along the lines of "The harasser follows around the harassed, despite requests by the harassed that the harasser desist.", which makes it more than just a restriction on speech. If it's a _pure_ restriction on speech, then I expect that it will not survive a First Amendment challenge.

States can put whatever law they like into the books. States often have laws on the books that wouldn't withstand a Constitutional challenge. For example, even after Lawrence v. Texas, anti-sodomy laws were on the books in _many_ US states. If the state doesn't voluntarily remove a law, it takes expensive, slow court challenges to get rid of them.

For a more recent example of nasty state law that is unlikely to survive long-term, look at the Texas Heartbeat Act.

The fact that a state _really_ wants to prohibit something doesn't override Federal law that asserts that that something is _not_ to be prohibited. But -sadly- those fights frequently have to slog through the courts, so they don't happen nearly as often as they should.
Most MacBooks are also designed so the camera “on” light is impossible to disable in software.
That is now how passwords are cracked in today's environment.

In today's environment, someone obtains (via hacking or bribes) the internal password hash list, and then runs the list through a system such as this one:

A captcha on the login page does nothing to slow this monster down.
You seem to be jumping from one extreme to another, where as I'm taking the stance of keeping things in their current state, as it's been, for the last 20+ years, which haven't resulted in the devastation of the US that you seem to be so worried about.

That doesn't mean open borders, just don't force all trucks through a full inspection. Check papers, ask a few questions, randomly inspect a few, and inspect those that are more suspicious looking. Seems to have been working alright to me.

I also don't know why you jump straight to complete deregulation of all drugs. Coca cola can't put bleach in the drink and yet I can buy bleach. Alcohol doesn't show up in kid products, and THC isn't suddenly put in kit kat bars.

Also from my understanding, it wasn't contained to pharmaceutical, it was that over prescription made people who would have not taken opioid of their free will become addicted.

And there's definitely studies and papers on the counter effect of prohibition policies in actually making matters worse:

You can't always work through emotional dysregulation issues (inability to return to baseline after six hours of argument being one indicator of such issues) by just talking it out. Sometimes you can, sometimes it's associated with something more fundamental like a personality disorder where professional help needs to be involved.
Germany was defeated without the atomic bomb.

Japan could have (and would have) been beaten without the atomic bomb at a high cost in American and Japanese lives.

The atomic bomb changed the arc of history because it intimidated the Soviets.
Even after VJ-day planners thought it very possible that the US would go to war with the Soviet Union -- since the Korean war involved mainland China it also could have become an unlimited conflict.

Well, quadratic convergence usually requires the Hessian, or an approximation of it, and that's difficult to get in deep learning due to memory constrains, and difficulty computing second order derivatives.

Computing the derivatives is not very difficult with e.g. Jax, but ... you get back to the memory issue. The Hessian is a square matrix, so in Deep Learning, if we have a million of parameters, then the Hessian is a 1 trillion square matrix...

Not that I'm particularly fond of one mafia gang or the other (yes, the USA government is less damaging to its citizens compared to North Korea - but they are both evil aggressors), but this is a weird hill to die on for Griffith.

I understand disrespecting the made up laws some idiot bureaucrats come up with, but I don't understand allowing their hired guns to lock you up for 5 years.
The vantablack material would indeed "glow", as everything in the universe glows. It just does so outside the visible spectrum. The difference between this thermo-voltaic cell and a photo-voltaic cell is that photo is visible spectrum and thermo is IR. It's all just photons!
Is there some sort of physical property when you are that hot (2400C) that you begin glowing? Then just open a slot in the insulation so the photons cell whenever you need electricity.
Research question: Would be possible to design a cryptographically secure steganography resistant to transformations such as printing and scanning (i.e., a provably secure steganographic algorithm where the encoded message can be decoded after printing the image and acquiring the image via scan or photograph)?

> The brain is a data compression engine and it's designed to ignore/"not enjoy" anything too repetitive and predictable.

I generally agree, but that is not at all the only way our brains enjoy or experience things. To imply otherwise is a vast oversimplification. Again, see my example above of seeing the same play - same thing, different experience.
Couldn’t this be done by using some ML on the video stream?
ahhh ligatures, that's the word I was looking for here. Yeah it was kind of irritating but good blog content so I just read it anyways. it was kind of hard not to read it as someone lisping everything though.
an unresolved argument (if it's a serious one) makes it difficult for me to focus on work. (as a programmer and sysadmin, being distracted can be dangerous)
if it happens in the evening i also can't sleep. so either way the day is ruined.

the solution then is obviously to learn to resolve arguments in a short time. actually, resolving the argument itself is not even the issue, but knowing that we still love each other is what matters.

so what needs to happen right now is to find a way for both of us to calm down, maybe hug and kiss and then get back to work until you have time to discuss the issue later.

He's helping an enemy state to avoid sanctions - countries will always prosecute cases like that.

If he didn't want his mind locked behind bars, he probably shouldn't have done what he did. I'm sure he's a smart guy, but this was not a smart move.
No. We can't. That should be obvious by now.

And, for your approach to work, every country would have to have WMDs, or else the US (or somebody) would have to use their WMDs in defense of every country. It is very much not clear that your approach would be strictly better than the current state of affairs.
The fact that including a package in your webpage/app, which includes a tree of hundreds of others, one of which can 'dynamically' overwrite/redefine other pieces of the namespace with impunity, is why it's broken in the first place.

ergo it is insecure by design for all uses, and unsuitable for anything important relying on code you wrote doing what you expect.

It's fair to say it's broken in a world where what we do in webpages MATTERS. It was fine in the past where nothing truly important happened in web pages, but that ship has sailed.
Honesty and the Golden Rule are always good principles, and can direct us to other good principles, when properly applied. (Treating other people the way oneself would want to be treated does not eliminate setting appropriate boundaries while still being respectfully kind as far as possible; or farther :) .) To be effective in doing that, yes, one should avoid debt and have a financial reserve, and further, emergency food & water reserves of at least basics for staying alive (wheat/grains, beans, water, salt?).

And I think being honest and good to one's family and others pays long-term dividends that money and government cannot match.
> To them, insider trading isn't unethical, quite the opposite.

This does not follow. Even under the most "extreme libertarian" position insider trading, narrowly construed, would still be an unethical violation of the agent/principal relationship which exists between the employee and the company's owners (the shareholders). Abusing confidential information you have access to as a result of your position for personal gain at the expense of the shareholders would be violation of trust—and most likely a direct breach of your employment contract.
I bit squatted cloudfront.net years ago and got many, many requests. Most of them *.js which would, if I were malicious, have allowed me to do just about anything. It was interesting to see that the errors definitely happened in different places. For instance, sometimes the Host header was the original domain and sometimes it matched my domain.
Nope. I exported our data after they restored the backup and then we cancelled less than a month later. Like I obviously understand suspending our logins, but why would you ever delete someone's data when it's literally only 160 KB of text? The whole thing made zero sense.
I find myself in situations like this myself, but on the observer's side. Often I swallow the impulse to ask "Well the problem was solved in 10 seconds, and you've now spent minutes venting about it, how is this at all constructive?" to my girlfriend. I've come to understand it is her makeup to need to vent about things like that rather than solve the problem and move on.
Some hardware up there must be active and sending data even when the light's not on. It's how they make the (excellent, can hardly live without it now that I'm used to it) automatic monitor color temp adjustment work, AFAIK. Though maybe that's a separate sensor from the camera proper.
We use on-premises setups for almost everything (we generally avoid cloud solutions to have full control of our data), sometimes (approximately once a month) it goes down for a few minutes which already feels like a torture because all our processes depend on it, I can't imagine having no access to it for several weeks, all our work would stop to a halt... The office of the guy who administers on-premise servers is literally next door, all it takes is to make a visit to him and everything works again after 5 minutes. Reading horror stories like this (Slack being down, Atlassian being down, no one knows what is happening and when it will end etc.), I wonder why many companies choose cloud solutions for critical business processes. Is it pricing? Ease of use? I can understand why very small companies would choose it, but I don't understand why a medium/large business would choose anything but an on-premises setup.
I was just thinking that there's a hysteresis function here: the service is worth much more to your team after you've wired your whole process into it than before you joined.

Offering you a free month or whatever doesn't acknowledge all the person-hours lost.
Absolutely fascinating to watch this performance on an iconic piece of music.
In Google Meet, the UI will change to show that it thinks you have hardware muted the microphone and so "unmuting" the Meet software won't help. I think it's a red ! mark or similar. All my USB headsets have hardware mute.
"Peer to peer" is a superset of "state to state". There is no technology which will allow a North Korean citizen to sidestep their government's parasitic internal economy without also allowing the North Korean government to sidestep international sanctions.
I remember the days when Ngrok was just a little indie project. If I recall correctly, you could get the pro version by making a donation. (Which I happily did). Great to see they’ve now evolved in to a full-fledged company.
>You can work through it, you just have to care enough. We no longer have arguments longer than maybe 20 minutes now.

We went through the same. A few years of me getting my head on straight and not escalating fights so I could effectively communicate "I don't want to fight about this" and either "this isn't a criticism, this is something that's important to me" or "you're right, I'll start doing that" has made our fighting dry up almost entirely.
Yes, and a much smaller sensor will of course gather much less light.
You've got the paradigm backwards. Cooking is a service. The closest thing to "as a service" would be your microwave requiring a subscription to cook some ramen in your own home. It's blatantly possible to be done without the subscription, but is added as a way to capture more revenue.
Thanks, that looks interesting, but I don't see the connection to "crypto", except it being encrypted, laudably.
I just watched the whole thing and thought it looked really cool! Seems like a scrappy and self-reliant company that is focused on cost effectiveness and efficiency.
And yet totally insufficient to describe many things that happen in markets, insufficient to explain the nature of economic crises, weirdness in niche markets of all sorts, the behavior of money, and a long list of etceteras that continue to baffle experts that have dedicated their entire lives to it.
Re 1: I'm not sure why that's a necessity beyond a notion of consistency. I find that major wiki editors are not often major ticket creators, and these are different products with different audiences at the end of the day. Also, Confluence uses a WYSIWYG editor, so it's rare to need to think about the markup.

Re 2: Set the project's issue type scheme to one that only allows tasks and subtasks. That gets you one level of nesting. (And even though task and subtasks are different issue types, changing from one to the other is trivial since they have identical fields.) Allowing epics gets you another at the top level. That's a bit limited, but wouldn't arbitrary nesting be even more complex?
I don't think this rationale holds up to the least bit of scrutiny. How would a DPRK citizen hold or transact with cryptocurrency? On their heavily locked down
and monitored computer devices on the heavily locked down and monitored national network?
>Although the draft of this bill (pdf below) does not specifically mention Tesla anywhere since it’s the only motor vehicle company with direct sales and OTA updates in Oklahoma, Tesla is directly affected by it if it passes.

I wonder if you could argue that such a narrowly targeted bill counts as a Bill of attainder (unconstitutional) against a company

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_attainder#United_State...

Also, it seems like banning interstate sales and service provision like that would fall afoul of the commerce clause...

But I am only an armchair lawyer...
Regarding the backup restores:

I once worked a company that had a data loss issue. There was nothing else we could do, we had exhausted every option we had over almost 40 hours. At the end of the second day, it was decided to restore from backup.

We had done this before, as a test. It took about 12 hours to restore the data and another 12 hours to import the data and get back up and running.

One small thing was different this time, and it had huge consequences. As a cost-saving measure, an engineer had changed the location of our backups to the cold-storage tier offered by our cloud provider. All backups, not just 'old' ones.

This added 2 additional days to our recovery time, for a total of five days. Interestingly enough, even though we offered a full month's refund to all of our customers, not even half of them took us up on it.

Cryptocurrencies have no way to unilaterally accomplish that.

Bitcoin can’t stop anyone from knocking down your door and taking your belongings. It doesn’t work without access to communication technology. It doesn’t do anything to circumvent barriers to trade in the physical world. Trade requires two transfers. And, you can’t eat a bitcoin.

The only people in NK who have the ability to use bitcoin in trade are the political elite.
Looking forward to see how you'll imprison the German government for continuing to purchase oil from Russia through shell companies like Gazprombank.
there are certainly others commenting on this post who didn't read that way. They're posting as if he was literally sent to prison for just talking about crypto.
I hate the latter, because I use a keyboard shortcut to mute/unmute the microphone on the OS-level. This works fine with Google Meet, but in Microsoft Teams I have to use the button in its UI because that pop-up gets in the way (also: Teams not working at all in Firefox, what's up with that?).
I think the title implies a causal relationship between the two events.

Edit: In this thread:

> I wonder how the arrest went down, why he took a plea, what the details of his presentation were

>What if he did the exact same presentation in youtube, and in NK they saw that presentation?
Non-technical reasons include "legal" and "compliance", which often matters a fair bit. I am not disagreeing that non-technical requirements occasionally lead to poor decisions, for some value of poor.
Once I was on Teams meeting and someone exclaimed “We can see your screen, systemvoltage!”. Sure as hell, I wasn’t sharing anything. Thankfully I wasn’t browsing HN, but writing code.

These things implemented somewhere in the middle of the stack seems dangerous. I much more prefer a slider switch. Preferably made from real atoms and molecules.
Compact cameras (under $500) usually have great macro lenses too, though you miss the flexibility of being able to change the lens. I've owned for quite a while a Micro Four Thirds camera from Olympus and that's a very good spot to be a hobbyist: not too expensive, but can do "pro things" like changing lenses, shoots raw, has a horseshoe socket, etc. Of course, the quality is not the same as a full frame camera, but then again, I'm not a pro :)
This seems to just toggle the video conferencing software's native "mute" function, which is exactly the scope of this article.

At those temperatures, Carnot efficiency is between 80 and 90 percent.

The comparison to steam engines is misleading, but there’s an important distinction. Steam or gas turbines would reach very high efficiencies at these temperatures too, but won’t because of material properties and limitations thereof.

These limitations don’t seem to exist for this new technology. Hence, reaching very high efficiencies becomes possible. In theory… In practice, I don’t see how heat sources with temperatures that high are feasible or could stem from renewable sources. (something with the thermal battery? Wasn’t explained much in the article)

In any case, in comparison to steam turbines, the technology presented here does absolutely nothing in terms of decarbonising the grid, as claimed. It’s just potentially more efficient. But what’s the source for the primary energy?
I think the post you're responding to is correct according to the survey you shared.

First, a quick note. The gallup poll posted by onlyrealcuzzo seems ripe for "lying with statistics" on either side of the issue. For example, we could say "only 32% of people are totally pro-choice" but could also say "open 19% of people are totally pro-life". We could say "60% of people support Roe vs Wade" or we could say "most Americans do not support third trimester abortions without special reason".

Interpreting the poll with respect to a specific claim therefore requires care.

As a reminder, GP stated:

>> Americans want abortion rights then they pass laws against abortion.

First, do Americans want abortion rights?

The only question on the poll that directly asks about "rights" is the question about Roe v Wade, and nearly 60% of respondents do not want Roe-Wade overturned.

Second, do Americans oppose laws being passed against abortion?

Only 22% of respondents are dissatisfied with current laws and also want stricter abortion laws. More importantly, GP's characterization is STARKLY true if we look at how laws have changed recently. E.g., the new Oklahoma and Idaho laws ban abortion in cases of rape/incest. The gallup poll indicates that a whopping 83% of Americans support support first trimester abortions in cases of rape/incest, and that number is still over 50% in the third trimester. This is a clear and unambiguous case of GP being correct according to onlyrealcuzzo's source.

I think it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to interpret the gallup poll as stating that Americans don't oppose the types of abortion laws being passed now, sometimes in strikingly huge majorities.
