> but people are in academia because they want to do their research

Which is perfectly fine as long as those people don't go asking the NSF or NIH for money to fund students.

I'll never understand why we give egomaniacs funding for phd students, and it's something I actively work to get the panel to select against when evaluating any proposal that includes lines for PhD students or post-docs (ie all of them).

CS profs: if you want employees for your ego trip, start a damn company. Your students are not employees, and if we're all honest, most of the benefit of the grant we're giving you will be the students it produces. So sayth this regular panel member.
I don't know if it's specific to Car and Drive but the writing in this article is terrible.
An example from the article of one of the oldest perpetual bonds still paying out:

https://indroyc.com/2015/09/17/a-367-year-old-bond-still-pay...

It's written on goat skin and must be physically presented in the Netherlands to collect interest of 11.34 euros per year.

Yale University bought it in 2003 for 24,000 euros.

One part I don't understand:

According to its original terms, the bond would pay 5% interest in perpetuity, although the interest rate was reduced to 3.5% and then 2.5% during the 18th century.

How's that work? Did the bondholder agree to new terms or did the issuer just unilaterally "change" them?
My point wasn’t to address whether any hashing technique might be collision-free, but that assessing that fact is not a good metric for the fitness of a given hashing technique.
For some, yes. Unfortunately, this is not as evenly available as one might hope or even as widely as it was used during pandemic.
Disco is forgotten usually. From the early smartphone days before Whatsapp and others had firmly won. I believe they even owned Disco.com. I had that app installed way back when.

Musk has a trend of doing this with investments. It's purely speculative but I think it is reasonable to suggest based on Musk's previous actions I do not think he is serious about buying Twitter.
I'm surprised they haven't banned that phrase already like they did with "learn to code".
What street? Are schools any good?
To be honest I like, forgot this -- attaching/syncing Drive and the local disk -- was a thing people did.

I just like, upload and download files as needed to Drive? I don't really have a huge "need to sync files to the cloud" quadrant in my personal or professional life.
Wow! This really does cover everything. I just wrote a comment saying Disco is never brought up. It is here.
Typically we calculate assuming the total energy needed at the Landauer limit at 3K. It's usually going to be multiples of the entire sun's energy output for billions of years, more if not using a quantum computer. Money isn't the relevant metric at the scales of modern cryptography.
S3 is object storage not block storage.

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/object-stor...

Object storage isn’t random access (the ability to read and write any part of a file) the way a disk drive is. This causes complications for software that expects to be able to randomly access a file like they would on a disk.
I would suggest googling “Elon Musk Twitter legal speech” - this was one of the top results

https://theconversation.com/amp/if-elon-musk-succeeds-in-his...
This is so important. Just using the name of the place will get people to Google it and find out more about their people and culture, and pragmatically, learn about their solutions to problems and problems that may need external help solving.
Being a solo founder, it's so scary to make mistakes cause I'm alone :(( I was struggling to accept that mistakes happen because I want every decision to be right.

Things changed when I met the people from Founders Cafe. They also shared their mistakes and it made me feel not alone.
Aldi definitely varies by area, in my experience. We have 2 Aldis in our area and one was nicer than the other. Than they remodeled the older one and now they are comparable.

I have every possible grocery chain around me and I still choose Aldi. Sure the selection is smaller and mostly non brand names, but that's why I go there. $50 can get you a variety of produce and meats, while $50 at a place like Publix gets you barely anything.
No, you brought that up. What is your point?
The point is, building tunnels underground for personal transport vehicles as a "solution" to traffic is a terrible idea, and something only a showman can sell. Even if he has an awkward 2 hour speech about it, he succeeded as a showman because Vegas funded this terrible idea (just look how it ended up).
This?

It is the top hit for "google drivefs source code" on google. "google drivefs" just returns hits about clearing a cache on macos or something.

The duck duck go results are arguably more relevant, though one is a link to DriveFS.exe, which I don't plan to download.

You’re not forced to live in a bigger city.

>but they're slower than BLAKE3

It's important to know that this currently isn't true for small inputs for SHA256 when using a cpu with dedicated instructions for it.
Locklin's basic point is about the important of thinking about the actual problem, instead of playing with tools further removed from the problem. And I can't agree more.

The same applies to programming, and applies more and more as we get further removed from the essential problem and the underlying system. It used to be common (appalling but common) to see knowledgeable, experienced programmers give up on trying to understand a system, and to start a cycle of just-change-something, recompile, test... Eventually they'd come up with something that would pass the test and declare the bug "fixed" (for now).

Times change. Now we've got stackoverflow and copilot ... so we've got thousands (millions) of kiddies who have little concern for the problem or the system, because they focus on plugging in some code snippet. And the odds of those snippets being inappropriate, or adding further bugs, is overwhelmingly high.

We should all be concentrating on understanding the situation and the problem, not on producing any old answer or on passing a test suite.
> If true, would that align with the difference in population size

You're quite confused. First boomers and millennials are approximately equal in size, adjusting the boomers for back when they were the same age as the millennials. GenX is smaller.

Secondly, you seem to think I'm using averages. I'm not. The boomer generation had 4x as much wealth distributed over a similar size generation when they were as old as millennials. The GenX generation had twice as much wealth distributed over a population that was smaller.

> so am inclined to believe people are not getting fired more often.

If people aren't getting fired more often, what difference does your discussion about people calling in sick matter?
The point is the trajectory, not the position. Given network effects and other phenomena, there's good reason to think Twitter could converge on some kind of universal, global engine for the vast majority of all future short conversational written discourse.

In any case, I'm here to answer questions.
Brute-forcing 2^256 is impossible at any price; if you could convert all the matter in the Sun to energy and capture all the energy and drive the lowest power computers physics allows, you wouldn't have a billionth of the required energy:

Different tool for a different job.

bcrypt is a password hash. It's optimized to defend against brute-force attacks on a short secret string -- which means it's slow (tens to hundreds of milliseconds), and it doesn't support inputs longer than 72 bytes at all.

SHA256 and the BLAKE family are designed for hashing larger bodies of data. They're fast (~5 CPU cycles per byte) and can handle an arbitrarily long input.
Why do they not do the same for the hand soap bar and eliminate the last wasteful bit entirely?

I don't think there's been a real study proving microdosing actually does anything? My experience with trying it was kind of useless. The only times I got anything from it was the times where I dosed a little to much by accident.
> So what you have to do is recognize this situation and throw in a word with all of the possible missing letters to tell you which one is the right one. Obviously you need 2 guesses left at least for this to work.

This advice applies much better to Wordle than it does to Quordle, though. Quordle gives you nine guesses. Four of them are already taken by the need to provide four answers. Three or four go to your fixed opener. That leaves you either one or two discretionary guesses. If your opener ended up giving you trouble with more than one word, you're basically hosed.
If the phrase is used to harass people in a targeted manner, then sure. Running a platform that excludes those who harass people is quite reasonable, and necessary if you want to keep those sweet advertising numbers up.
Brute-force collisions is a birthday attack, so you expect to find a collision in 2^80 hashes, not 2^160.

That’s influenced by fattiness more than anything, I think.

I used to think I hated tuna sashimi. Oftentimes it ranged from slightly metallic to that stereotypically overly fishy flavor, and had zero mouthfeel except for what I could describe as a watery gel.

Then I tried a piece of highly marbled tuna. It was like a buttery slice of steak—a meaty flavor that filled my mouth. Every piece of similarly marbled tuna has tasted just as good.

Generally, salmon sashimi has some good fatty marbling as well, so I think that also contributes to its good flavor. Cheap tuna cuts have virtually zero fat and so there’s no flavor to be had.
I'm always happy to talk anyone's ear off about Blockchain, it is by far the most interesting space I've ever worked in. Feel free to ask me your hardest questions.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is my favorite aspect. It's honestly outstanding how far behind the curve of DeFi knowledge HN is and so few are willing to debate and learn.

I work at a company called Balancer, we've built an app that allows you to essentially invest in index funds of tokens. You can put money into a pool of say 40% ETH, 30% Bitcoin, 20% LINK, 10% USD. Then instead of you paying fees for someone else to manage this fund, you get paid - often 5% - 20% per year, to have this fund.

How? Traders use your funds as an arbitrage opportunity when the ratios go out of wack. There are a lot of day traders in crypto right now and every time they make a trade through your pool they pay a 0.3% - 1% fee.

These tokens are mostly crypto coins right now but they can be anything, including tokens that track oil, gold, share prices, or even housing index funds. Other companies build these tokens and as they are standardized they can be used in Balancer pools.

Balancer the app is completely decentralized and open access to all. Your money is yours, we have no access to user funds.

This is barely the tip of the iceberg, eventually the entire financial system is going to be overtaken by open, permissionless systems and they will be much bigger than today because there are far fewer rent seekers, and entire world gets to participate.

There was a professional diving team that saved the children he was not himself doing it.

And even if he was pushing yourself into the media and making headlines by insulting somebody who tried to help is not really a good look. Specially because it was not constitutive (or respectful) critism. It was simply a guy who wanted attention and got it.

> Take a step back and think about what you're defending here. It's not a good look.

I'm not defending what Musk said. It was clearly a stupid thing to say.

But if the main critism of a guy who lead 2 important technology companies for decades is 'he got too angry at somebody who insulted him in the media' then that is a pretty lame reason to hate him so much.

The point is that “conservative economists” didn’t invent these ideas to annoy democrats. Asian people tell their kids the same thing. My dad is a blue dog democrat. But he’s not going to ignore his own cultural values just to avoid agreeing with conservatives on something. That would be absurd.

> But yes, the US does have a history with resentment of Asian immigrants, one of the first laws regarding immigration was the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and you may be able to surmise from the title what that law did. I think you'll find that conservatives make very capricious allies once they believe you are "stealing their jobs".

Who cares about any of that? At the end of the day, Reagan’s America and Newt Gingrich’s America has been extremely good to Asians.
I thought this[1] was one of the most accurate (and succinct) takes on him I’ve read:

Mate, your life and discussions will go better if you just place “in my experience” wherever necessary. You can assume that most people are not using the literal universal quantifier.

Yep that makes sense. And personally I will never work for a company that isn’t WFH flexible. So hopefully there will be options for both of us to get what we want.
I've tried going both ways with vowels (lots or sparingly), and I found it seems to work better to conserve them. Vowels are where you can maximize information by inference rather than by spending your limited slots, by downplaying or ruling out more vowels once you've got what are likely enough.

I always go 5 new letters for the second guess and usually for the third. Knowing more letters are in or out is a lot more information than finding out the same letter isn't in a second position. Particularly for Quordle, you really want more letters through three or even four guesses.
Ask HN: Why there are no large scale programs to synthesize a cell?
Synthesizing a cell/protocell from amino-acids would be one of the greatest scientific achievements. Yet it seems that there are no large programs (comparable to Human Genome Project, for example) to actually achieve this. Wikipedia article on Abiogenesis lists only several smaller experiments. Why is that? Is it considered not feasible with the current state of science and technology?
The point is we've gone from your "will never happen" to "is happening" and "will continue to happen". Hydrogen fuel cell aircraft will be doing commercial passenger flights in a couple of years.
