> Some of the criticism of his behavior is clearly sour grapes that he doesn’t act “properly” for a billionaire, but there are also many examples of him being a bad person a la Steve Jobs.

If we can get a massively successful revolutionary business like SpaceX without someone like Steve Jobs I'd love it. But so far the sample size is small and there aren't any countering examples. History has thus far shown that you need people with strong personality and drive with some amount of lack of empathy in order to create massive shifts in the course of humanity.

The thing is, collisions should correlate with hash length. If hashes were uniformly distributed, you should need about 2^160 hashes to find a SHA-1 collision. But researchers got that number down to 2^61. That's the difference between completely impossible, even with a state actor's level of resources, and almost possible with consumer grade hardware.
No, most likely not, sadly.
An IDE or SCSI hard disk from 1992 would technically be easily accessible using adapters but mechanically it probably wouldn't spin up. Removable storage from that era like magneto-optical or SyQuest would require a rare and very obsolete drive that may also have mechanical problems.

I expect similar problems looking forward. Hard disks made today aren't rated for 30 years, NAND flash retention is much less than 30 years, and Blu-ray drives may be hard to find.

The people calling the diver a "hero" are just as odd. Since when do we go around calling people "heroes" in this day and age? The only people who should be using that term are those who were personally saved by someone. Further the guy didn't actually take part in the rescue himself. He was a hobbyist diver who lived in the area who was an advisor. The "heroes", if there are any, are the actual rescuers who are almost forgotten to history now because everyone remembers the guy Musk called a name more than the people who did the actual rescuing.
Probably whatever the libsodium team recommends.

For password hashes, looks like Argon2 https://doc.libsodium.org/password_hashing

For generic data, they're still using BLAKE2b as the default, not BLAKE3. Not sure why. Too new? https://doc.libsodium.org/hashing/generic_hashing

SHA256 and SHA512 alone are not awful, but they're slower than BLAKE3 and vulnerable to length extension.

You can add extra tricks to protect them from length extension, like a length prefix or like doing SHA512/256, but it's better not to add tricks to your crypto.
At $1200 for one of the cheapest ones... I think I'd rather buy used...
Yep, that's a thing. It's called "hardware in the loop". There are indeed control surface servo motors plugged in, and they move around to wherever the flight computer commands them to based on what the simulated vehicle is doing. Unlike a real vehicle, though, the boards and wire harnesses are quite a bit messier. All the important wires run through additional equipment so that folk can automate tests where things break.

One thing that we don't have plugged in normally is the propulsion motors. The noise would be rather obnoxious considering the HIL setups are in the office. Also,
I believe we still omit the wing tip LEDs; not only would they be obnoxiously bright, but they would melt themselves for lack of actual airflow!
It seems the article is merely about the ‘wonder’ and ‘Eureka’ moment of realizing one’s definition of species is over or under inclusive.

To summarize the article (using a more familiar animal):

That’s exactly it; I don’t expect the technology to be sufficiently discriminate.

Does using and verifying multiple hash functions help? If something verifies with SHA1 and MD5 is it better than just one? Of course you’d add SHA256 and BLAKE3 or whatever.

I think I’ve seen Gentoo’s portage use multiple.
I also agree.
In fact, I have a feeling it is not simply a matter of allure, but one of the most decisive and important factors if not the single most.

I think we tend to underestimate the importance of this kind of uniformity (aka homogeneity, consistency, sameness, equivalence etc) that allows us to freely shift back and forth and work across different environments (aka contexts, mindsets, etc) without any essential changes and translations.
i.e. in a sense, minimizing the boundary such that the difference effectively disappears and it feels as if it's all just one same.
In this case the environments being shell <-> script. But I think I see similar patterns in many other places, including outside of tech.

So, similar to as you also mentioned, as long as there is no language that beats the current shell as both a shell language and a scripting language, and one that sufficiently matures for real practical uses as both, I have a hard time imagining the most perfect scripting language alone still being able to make shell scripts go away. At least, I have a hard time imagining myself abandoning shell scripts otherwise.

> Security isn't measured in time, it's measured in money.

That's not how cryptography works though: many schemes (for sufficiently large keys) are, in our current understanding of mathematics, totally unbreakable over a period of time that stretches from now until the heath death of the universe.

That's measured in time and no amount of money is going to change anything about it right?

Maybe in 2000. I don't think that's true in any major metropolitan area (say over 1 million). Which is also coincidentally where most people live.

I've yet to see any example where Musk "manipulated" the market to his own gain. People love to say this over and over but there's not a single shred of evidence I've ever seen about it.

Musk doesn't have a strong ability to deceive. He doesn't have strong interpersonal skills given his mental affliction. You should take what he says at face value other than when he's making an obvious joke and lots of things make a lot more sense.

Lewis' trilemma as always applies. He either a great deceiver, completely believes what he says but is beyond his ability, or actually will do what he says.

It is about a job posting, for a science related field, from a top research university with requirements that are unique and not particularly common for such fields.

I think that makes its very interesting. I don't think I have ever heard of a university having such qualifications spelled out so explicitly.

Paper?

I mostly jest. It would require a lot of paper. But it should be stable storage for potentially centuries.
Time and temperature are other measurements mentioned in the article. Since it’s a hospital, you should probably assume some other data are available too. If you’ve never been to a hospital or doctor’s office, you can either google “standard health data used in hospitals” or take my word for it that they have tools other than just EKGs. (I have been to several hospitals!)

Disregarding the EKG until temperature is in a normal range is 1) what the article says they did and 2) a combination of two different metrics to paint a more complete picture than just one datapoint would provide. The EKG didn’t fail them. It was a memorable anecdote meant to convey to the author the state the body was in when it arrived.
It is a problem that men in nursing are often discriminated against, both by hiring boards, their coworkers, and their patients. We’d probably have better health outcomes with a more varied population of nurses.

Here on HN we talk about CS more… because we’re on a CS discussing site, and CS generally pays better than nursing, and women have historically faced more discrimination across society.

But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t also care about male underrepresentation in nursing, it’s just less relevant here.
It seems to me like there’s a big difference between “since the 1960s” and “always.” Is there no good data going at least 100 years further back?

Seems a bit denialist. The VC effectively ended after Tet (which was a military blunder, but a propaganda triumph), but the PAVN took up the fight in their stead.

If you never have the initiative, defensive or offensive, it's hard for the war to go your way. You're essentially letting the enemy dictate the terms of most engagements.

The Vietnamese didn't "lose all the battles". Aside for effectively winning the most important battle, i.e. the battle for Vietnam, they also didn't lose many of the battles they picked. The US wanted pitched battles where its army fared better, but with few exceptions they were denied them. Was it unfair? I don't think so: there's no fairness in war, and it's stupid to meet the enemy where he is strongest, and wise to meet him where he's at his worst. Which is what the Vietnamese did.

Body count? Sure, Vietnam lost there. No surprise, the US was essentially out to kill as many Vietnamese as they could -- the only metric they could muster -- and there's no denying they were good at killing them. Unfortunately, short of killing them all and leaving not one single soul in Vietnam, that wasn't the way to win.

I don't think it was possible for the US to win; they were just one grain of sand in Vietnam's long struggle against foreign invaders.

The "won all the battles but lost the war" narrative is a mistaken claim by the US, which can mostly be explained by the lost face and the painful and almost unprecedented defeat they suffered.

> Initially. At the end, the US airspace was essentially unobstructed.

No such thing as "US airspace" in Vietnam, but I get what you tried to say. It doesn't matter if after years of war the USAF gained dominance over Vietnam's skies: the popular narrative ignores how well the Vietnamese did in the air war against the US, that they had fighter aces and scored many kills. A remarkable feat against the world's largest military power.

This article needs Wittgenstein to edit it. The empirical claim is:

"Science" "blocks" "new ideas"

I add quotes because these words aren't well defined as is. The article presents the following as evidence:

When a researcher dies, another takes their places and starts a different stream of research. The issue with this as evidence is that it takes a very generous definition of "blocks". If I get hired for a job instead of you, have I "blocked" you from taking the job? It's also trying to imply that the now-dead researcher was stifling innovation, but fails to show that the new line of work is more novel than the existing work that the deceased researcher was working on.

The next piece of evidence is that work that cites unique pairs of journals will be more cited outside of the journal its published than within. But this stretches the definition of "new ideas". Interdisciplinary work isn't necessarily novel. Often, it will simply involve the application of known techniques from one field to the domain of another.

The third is an experiment where they condition on the novelty of papers according to keywords, and measure the likelihood of getting a grant. This also stretches the definition of "new ideas" into a new dimension, where unfocused work is considered more novel. They also claim that it's concerning that having cited the authors work previously increases the likelihood of the author getting a grant; as though knowing that someone produces quality work shouldn't improve the odds of funding for more work.

In summary, the issue with writing like this is it never bothers to actually define the thing its measuring ("novelty"), and instead borrows multiple other definitions ("novelty is interdisciplinary", "novelty doesn't cite popular works in the field", "novelty means having more keywords"). In doing so, it says nothing about novelty itself (instead talking about "novelty") and so doesn't provide any insight as to whether there is sufficient novelty within academic science.

My apologies. It is not -70C, although it would work. Your expensive deep freezer is the correct tool for the job as long as the fish isn't huge.

Nematode larvae have been shown to survive
28 days in an 80° salinometer brine (21% salt

Fish that contain parasites in their flesh may also
contain parasites within their egg sacs (skeins), but
generally not within the eggs themselves. For this
reason, eggs that have been removed from the sac
and rinsed are not likely to contain parasites.
Trimming away the belly flaps of fish or
candling and physically removing parasites are
effective methods for reducing the numbers
of parasites. However, they do not completely
eliminate the hazard, nor do they minimize it to
an acceptable level.

IANAL. Just my sharing relevant observations/experience.

I’ve had a reputation among most of the people with whom I’ve signed contracts for being the rare person who reads the whole thing. The author is right that it’s a good idea to push back on parts of the contract that don’t sit well, and that it’s a privilege to be able to do so.

When I’m in a strong negotiating position, I’ve found also that the author is also right that the other party is usually truthful and also that they’re usually open to making changes to remove conflicts and resolve ambiguities. If you’re in that position, you’re usually much better off pushing back than accepting the contract as is.

Even if you know your contract has unenforceable provisions, and you know they’re unenforceable, they’re a litigation landmine. Maybe they’re highly unlikely to become actual litigation, but if there’s even a possibility everyone benefits from eliminating it. If that becomes a point of contention, bonus points: you’ve found a red flag with this other party to your contract. Even if you move forward you have better understanding of where you can anticipate conflict.

But most of the time, unless your contract is incredibly unfair or the parties are incredibly unprepared to negotiate its terms, you’ll just get the edits you want because everyone already agrees in principle that it’s okay to move forward.
