Ask HN: Sites with “broken” Crypto – What do you do to get access?
Some Products and Websites are inaccessible due the "SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP" / "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH" error message (and others). Question: How do you manage to get around that if you must?

Let me get the obvious out of the way: Yes, I know much if not nearly all about md5 and others being broken and dangerous & Everything SSL 1 to TLS 1.1 being banned/disabled etc. etc.
Now sometimes if you want to access some website from a local device or a legacy server, its ridiculous that you just can't get around at all. Again, I know, its done so the average customers are safe. But the whole crypto enforcement has created something that did not exist before. Broken/Refused access to web services still working.

I'm not asking for discussion about crypto issues, but kindly if you know some working solutions to circumvent this blockage with the fewest clicks to get to the target, do what has to be done and then leave and forget about it.

(One thing is my old hp-printer that needs to be reset for scanning, another is the website of a wordpress installation that seems to frozen in time but unaccessible, etc.)
> Most devices are not high end though.

Do you mean that their quality is meh, or whether they lack functionality?
You have never seen people who dont pay rents, I guess.
Wow, amazing how the guy interviewed in the video was 100% accurate in his analysis and predictions.
I wrote an intro to Wine dev: https://www.codeweavers.com/blog/aeikum/2019/1/3/working-on-... It doesn't go into a lot of debugging detail, as that's its own huge topic, but may get you started.

If you're debugging a thing in Proton, you'll want to use that project environment instead of Wine's directly, but the concepts are the same.
This isn't true in the least.

Housing is entirely local. The US has plenty of cheap land to build housing. People choose to live where the jobs are or where QOL is high. High prices reflect that. And that's good - it's a signal we should be building housing and opening new businesses elsewhere.
You can’t moderate a free speech platform, that’s the thing. So I can realistically harass someone online and be well within my bounds of “free speech”. I can say the most vile things ever and be well within my bounds of free speech
But too much of Russian propaganda for my taste.
I think we would have an a lot larger issue if the 2.8 million immigrants who work in construction[1] suddenly fell away. Even if it would potentially (but probably not) relieve demand a tiny bit.

If that were the case, why would someone else not bid $1 more to buy that house and rent it out? Then someone else would logically be willing to bid $1 more than that, until there was no easy profit left…

I think the answer is that much of the landlord’s initial profit is more or less income from working a job (buying, insuring, readying, showing, screening, fixing, collecting, etc) as evidenced by the share that a property management company takes if you don’t want to do all that work. That share is often enough to push a small positive cashflow into a moderately negative cash flow, meaning it’s the job aspect not the passive ownership aspect that’s profitable initially.

I laugh everytime someone calls being a landlord “passive income”. I’m not one because I saw the aggravation and effort my parents went through with a series of crappy tenants.

No one calls the pizza shop owner a “parasitic middleman between inexpensive ingredients and $15 cheese pizzas”. Because they can see that it’s work; they imagine being a landlord isn’t.
There was suspected fraud on the part of the C(E?)O that he was soliciting investor money (and sold stock himself) with advance knowledge of the disappointing results of the trial I was mentioning and did not disclose it. Class action suits were filed.

The trials preceding the Phase IIa results were all extremely promising, and even the Phase IIa one showed statistically significant effect on a sound discrimination, which many long time hearing sufferers can tell you is even more frustrating a problem than the inability to perceive sound.

Biomedical research stocks are inherently risky. I could be deluding myself, but my lay reading of the research, and as someone who has suffered from tinnitus for a long time brought on my noise overexposure, I think there is a very promising shot at this drug. Maybe FREQ will not be the ones to realize it and some other company will take the patent into real life clinical medicine, and FREQ is certainly not the ONLY company pursuing this angle. But their successes so far have kept me holding the stock, and I keep buying more.

Why would I need a firmware update for my TV that I use as a big monitor? It has no network access, I switched it to "PC mode", it displays pixels, it makes sounds, I very occasionally switch inputs.
in india,it has been a tradition of "you sold a piece of land and this happens: you get capital gains and there is not a lot of exemptions (another house, agri land) so you pay your taxes at indexed cost of acquisition. the "price" set between buyer and seller at the time of registration is added 5-7% "stamp duty". so $ 1 mil + 5 % to govt= paid by buyer.
this is true for all subsequent sales so when the next buyer wants to see it at 1.5 mil, 5% is taken on 1.5 with no adjustment. this increases the cost of property but the government gets a huge chunk of tax revenue.

then there is area wise "property tax" which is an annual tax paid to local municipalities, small but it adds up.

when you are building a house, you pay "GST" or indirect tax on all consumables, wood, steel, cement, sand, bricks, glass, appliances, tiling, roofing, electricals, every darn thing and you cannot "claim" this tax as input so the government gets this.

what more do you want them to impose?
Any idiot knows what happened. Duh.

Not many people are asking WHY its happening.
Thanks for the incredibly detailed response! I should probably consider ironpython too, though I’m not particularly fond of Python myself. But for now, as others in this thread have pointed out, I’ll try babashka :)
That's not too different from when they stop updating the OS and apps stop supporting the version you have on your "smart" TV.

Tokyo has a huge demand in accommodation and guess what, they keep building a lot of apartment buildings and it works.

Sure but the article says 30% of Russian gas is used for electricity which is fungible with other electric production - nobody denies that Germany needs gas for other things.

Although if greens in Germany were actually committed to reducing energy use they would have subsidized converting buildings from gas heat to using heat pumps instead of subsidizing solar production in Germany.
What we call "with western freedoms", you call "under western control". But you are wrong.

The west will mostly ally itself (as best it can) with champions of its values, whether they be Ukrainians, Russians, or any other ethnicity. This is the actual threat to the regime in Moscow.
An animal dying suddenly in a landslide would be more likely to leave a fossil than one who has been killed and eaten.
It might just be the sitting there for 5 minutes, and not so much the protocol. I get my BP checked regularly by my PCP's nurse. Usually they have me sit for a few mins and then come in to check. It's not uncommon that the first reading is higher than they'd like, and then they tell me to wait there for 5-10 mins and voila when they come back it's much lower.
>The discussion around Fukushima is not about the loss of land that got rendered uninhabitable, it is exclusively focused on the loss of life.

This conversation is happening in response to my mentioning of Fukushima (see the thread above). I did not focus exclusively on the loss of life and do not see why the discussion should be restricted to that topic.

Nevertheless, "uninhabitable" means people cannot live there so it's still within your frame. You cannot live in the area with significant radioactivity without risking your life. Loss of life can be prevented by quickly moving people from the dangerous area, but this is also undesirable. This is not comparable to environmental effects related to construction of dams or mining activities, because those can be estimated in advance and mitigations including resettling can be planned. This is also the reason why new mining projects in Germany are rarely happening and there's ongoing process to stop mining coal. If you want to account for possible radioactive fallout from a nuclear plant incident and plan mitigations in advance, there's simply no place in Germany where you could put a circle with 30-50 km radius and just remove all people from there. Practically all land in Germany is covered by urban areas, agricultural lands or natural reserves - increased risks associated with extension of timeline for existing reactors without major and time-consuming investment are unacceptable there.
There may be a firmware that, say, gets you a better decoding algo, or fixes bugs.

what kept you going as the founding CTO? Was there anything other than money to motivate to you wake up and go to work?

You did well on that job obviously and the start-up had a good exit, but what was your goal beyond that?

I am not a climber, but I can imagine to a climber it must be horrible when he/she has accomplished all the climbing and there is nothing left to climb.

I look up to the people who are going strong well into their 70's and even 80's, even after they have achieved a great deal. It can't be money because they've got a load of it that they can't even spend it. I don't know what it is though but I can imagine that whatever it is that keeps them going, it's different from person to person.

Find what that is for you. It's ok to say that you don't have it, because seeking and finding it is work in and of itself. Find it and then connect with it, and you'll see there is much more to wake up to and so much more to work hard for.
You should actually watch that video rather than just posting it. Mearsheimer's whole thesis, that Russia is trying to "wreck" Ukraine in order to keep it out of NATO and wasn't motivated by territorial expansion has been falsified by the most recent invasion. Mearcheimer actually claimed in the video that you are linking that Russia wouldn't launch a full scale invasion because that would go against it's geo-strategic interests and yet here we are.
Fair moderation is one thing. What people who say Twitter has a free speech problem have something else in mind. They want a platform where they can say whatever bigoted things they want then hide behind it because “hurr durr free speech”, that never works. Twitter is already toxic, can you imagine the things that would be said with no moderation

"The land tax amount needs to be high enough that the pain of the tax effectively forces owners to improve what's on the land"

The author likely isn't aware of that. If the author made that argument then it would undermine their argument about affecting people's choices minimally or not at all.
A small percentage of today's work goes towards these things (except the Internet, which is an endless sinkhole of mostly pointless labour).
Like I said, crypto was sold on transparency and it isn't. Secondly when it comes to fiat currency (or cars or medical equipment or other complicated things) there's mountains of regulations and regulators explaining how the complicated pieces need to work to be safe and how to mandate compliance. In the crypto space we are 100% dependent on the goodwill of unaccountable and frequently anonymous coders.
Do you perhaps know how does it work in Germany? I heard you have to pay the TV tax regardless if you have a TV or not.
While it is good that such people are embracing Rust for such purposes, they would have had a similar high level experience with something like Modula-2 or Object Pascal.

If anything, it is the pseudo-macro Assembler approach to C's design that made it a scary experience for some developers.
Then there's something physically wrong with it. My M1 MBP - which is near-constantly at 100% CPU doing neuroimaging tasks - gets about 9 hours. If I'm not running high-cpu tasks and just web browsing, I've gotten 13-18 typically (e.g., two full days of use between charges).
It’s interesting that in general everyone on HN loves big city living, but then you have a post about city noise and it’s a thousand posts complaining about urban noise and how you can’t get away from it.

Of course, the key is that you can have both with the right transportation options.
It is not topics that are censored, it is behaviour
You were right with the first part alone - let the teams choose. Hybrid worked for me and my team pre-pandemic, where we had no emphasis on location at all, so some people worked remotely full time, and the rest were free to come in to the office at their discretion. We would get together periodically (and deliberately), but outside of a few times a year, there was no emphasis on location at all. Most days, you wouldn't know who was in the office or not until the cams came on during standup.
The most likely response is nobody notices.

And those who notice mostly won't care.

Because the world is big and full of lots of things and because people have habits and those mostly fill their days.

On the positive side, nobody dies from bad landing page text, etc.

What sets creators apart is that they create and create and create and when nothing sticks they create some more and when something sticks they create some more.

The reward for work is more work.

Good luck.
So vendor in the dependencies. it's a matter of cloning the dependencies repo and adding a handful of characters to your project's cargo file.

Now the lifetime of the dependency is that of your project. There's even tooling 'cargo-vendor' to help manage this setup.

Alternative of course is implementing it all yourself, which cargo doesn't prevent.

SimpleChains does not call out to gemm. All layers are currently implemented as naive for loops.
It uses LoopVectorization.jl to compile them, which does a good job leveraging AVX512 -- much better than llvm or gcc.

It doesn't pack, which is why column major A' * B is slow:
https://juliasimd.github.io/LoopVectorization.jl/latest/exam...
And also why SimpleChains wouldn't scale to large matrix multiplies.
But, with 1 MiB L2 cache (e.g. Skylake-X), a 512x256 dense layer of Float32 is still small enough to not really need packing, so I haven't yet needed to implement it (but I will eventually, in a future version of a rewritten LoopVectorization that also actually adds dependency analysis).
For an ML library, I'd implement packing via changing the data layout of the parameter vector to tile major, to just skip any runtime packing altogether (i.e., the data would be pre-packed).
Only extremely large arrays benefit from a second packing level, so that I don't think it's worthwhile; smaller batch sizes would avoid the need.

The benchmark plots I linked above used dynamically sized arrays. LoopVectorization.jl performed better at small sizes than MKL, and much better than everything else.
Compared to that application, LV can also specialize on compile time sizes, fuse the addition of the bias vector, and fuse the activation function.
Please expand on one example of constraints that apply to troops of monkeys and modern day humans.
0. Could it also reverse the natural high frequency hearing loss?

1. Can anyone estimate what are the chances for it works, ie passes clinical tests, and

2. When?
Can you actually quantify these risks like the article does?
Thank you, that's quite interesting! I'll take a look at those videos as well. Cheers!
The maximum power output of a mobile phone is ~200 mW (0.2 watt) and that happens only for short periods (miliseconds) at the time.

That is not enough energy to even penetrate the skin, much less the skull. The amount of energy the article talks about is 1000x that amount and for an extended amount of time.

A lot of travelers experience headache after flying. Blood pressure changes, blocked sinuses, CO2 accumulation, change in sleep cycles etc. can all contribute.

The weight thing never made sense to me. At some point I noticed doctors offices started weighing me on the way in instead of wearing the gown, as you note it's less standardized between readings. Fine whatever, but if that's going to be the case maybe don't needle me over < 5lb shifts in weight? One visit I'm wearing shorts, t-shirt, sandals, and not much else. The next visit its a heavy coat, jeans, and my pockets full of crap. I wonder what the difference was.
I was just saying anything folks might find objectionable about cargo workflows happens in C and C++ workflows, just in ad hoc ways.

The difference is that no C or C++ package management features are proposed for incorporation in the Linux kernel SDLC.
> But I think the author’s right that obviously nothing psychological is happening here. There’s the psychological effect of no one being able to assess themselves, but the fact that unskilled people overestimate themselves in this world has nothing to do with the fact that they are unskilled.

If the results from DK were similar to the random data results, I'd agree. But the DK results do show some correlation between skill and self-assessment ability.
It’s not a complete tautology though, if people’s estimates of their skill were accurate in an unbiased way, we wouldn’t see a DK effect (or we’d only see a slight one, since you can’t really be unbiased at the low and high ends of the spectrum as the other comment pointed out). This isn’t true in the case of uniform random data, or in the real data we see, but it could be true of some data.
The last video I watched of his was a debunking of flat earthers that was so bad it almost gave the flat earthers some credibility. Many of his 'debunkings' consisted of 'no, because science that's why' where the flat earthers had actually raised interesting questions where the answers provide a great jumping off point to explore things in more depth.

Taking ten years to come up with some simple experiments to debunk someone who is reasonably frequently publicly wrong and then labouring the point and being really condescending isn't a sign of someone being especially smart (although it's hardly stupidity either).
1. Saying that transparency isn’t desired does not refuse his point. Not only that but the off topic declaration where you imply privacy is impossible on blockchain is incorrect.

2. Miners and block verifiers are not middle men. They have negligible control where as a middle man has full control.

3. The verifiably of smart contracts is not exceptional for its own sake, but for the fact that it prevents cheating in a system where cheating is heavily incentivized.

4. Auditing smart contracts will generally be much easier than auditing EVM bytecode. Ethereum isn’t the only game in town and the most sophisticated layer 1 smart contract languages converge toward functional, locked down languages which lend themselves to automated and manual auditing. The same way open source increases user security even though 99% percent of users won’t build or read its code.

You are so off base on all of your point I seriously doubt you don’t have an emotional stake in your position. Perhaps the classic “I’m a smart tech person yet I missed out, so really it’s always been bad and I’ll be proven right someday,” syndrome. You know other people that missed out simply developed some grace, and others still that identified problems went to work on them rather than pretending they were unsolvable.

The dogmatic crypto skeptic is as bad as the crypto shill.

I paid $75 for a Samsung LN46A650 (46" LCD) in 2019 to replace a Philips HD CRT. Since, I have bought two more ($50 and $20). So, I use two and have one as a backup or parts. All from Craigslist. I also have picked up three LN46A550 ($20 total) on CL with minor problems.

Instead of being glib, take the challenge: name a subreddit that got quarantined that you think shouldn't have been.
I recently purchased a Samsung TV that I hooked up to the internet. When I turned on the TV I was prompted to agree to their TOS. When I tried to agree to the terms it just kept erroring. I went away for a bit assuming it was Samsung network issue. It took me another hour once I returned to realize that my network was blocking their tracking domains. I had to connect the TV to my phone to accept the terms and bypass my blockers. The point is, you couldn’t even use this smart tv without first connecting to the web and accepting their terms.

I also haven’t really loved the Samsung TV. The UI is not great and it often forces me into their undeletable live streaming TV app.

I also recently purchased an LG tv, and I love it. The UI is great, there’s no ads, or intrusive apps. I’ll likely only buy LG tvs moving forward.
If a thread discussion interests me l, whether or not I respond in it, I bookmark it in a dedicated folder ("THREADS") located in the toolbar of the browser.

3-5 times per week, I use the "open all bookmarks" option by right-clicking the folder and if often results in 5-15 tabs immediately opening.

On each tab, I start by pressing ctrl-F with my nickname to see where I wrote and whether someone engaged.

Often, I'm more interested in what others will contribute to the main topic rather than engaging myself into it, so I intentionally ignore the page for a few days, until I have the impression that the dust settled. Then I read the entire thread.

I can't remotely express how much reading other HN users contributions has helped me in many aspects of my life, I see HN threads as a gold mine of useful information.
The problem is that C developers want their code to work as they expect, which is reasonable, and at the same time they want their code to be as fast as possible, which is also reasonable. But in practice these two desires are often at odds. So when C compilers start exploiting more UB in order to make code faster programmers turn around and complain, and then when C turns out to be slower than Fortran due to a lack of UB-exploiting optimizations a different segment of programmers will complain. It's a difficult balancing act for compiler and language developers.
