It would be more like receiving mail from a service than sending mail to a service which isn't a problem. There isn't really a spam component.

I show up to bigsaas.com. Big SaaS asks me to identify myself. I submit that I am rob@robmccoll.com optionally with a proof of that claim.

If I have provided a proof (think attestation along the lines of "The holder of this certificate is rob@robmccoll.com requesting to use bigsaas.com at time T using signing key Kpub") it will be signed under a key chain whose root can be obtained from a specifically formatted DNS TXT record under robmccoll.com (similar to DNSSEC or DKIM - maybe it gets a custom record type). bigsaas.com can fetch said key and verify the signature.

If I haven't provided a proof, bigsaas.com looks up a DNS record under robmccoll.com that points to which server provides this authentication service for the domain and does something like an OAUTH or SAML type of exchange but without the need for point-to-point pre-configuration. It beings this exchange with a signed request "This is bigsaas.com attempting to authenticate rob@robmccoll.com at time T" which is signed under the key in its own DNS records (or at least a chain that can be verified under that key).

Either way, the service doesn't have to have some pre-seeded trust beyond trusting DNS (and this should probably insist on DNSSEC and TLS-only for whatever interactive authentication gets layered on top)

Edit: I guess this is kind of OpenID, but to be honest, OpenID looks way more complex than necessary.
Can this be used to deploy an "active learning" model that learns from fresh data and model auto-updates?

My email productivity went through the roof when I switched to mu4e (Emacs interface to mu).

I can in a few keystroke isolate the handful of emails that actually need my attention in the hundreds I receive every couple of days.

Org mode integration allow me to reference those that I may need in the future, or that require later action in my to-do list.

My time handling email is now reduced to 20min-2h every two days, in one sitting, my mind feels liberated. I can't recommend this setup enough.

It's almost like Git + Gitea, all in a single application. Code + tickets + wiki + notes all version controlled and capable of hosting the server itself. Also, the repo is just a SQLite database, so backup is easy.
I simply repeated Jeff Dean's own words that he claims the paper "didn’t meet our bar", yet continued to be cited (even by Dean himself, though arguably he's citing it to disagree...but then that's the way academia should work!).

I didn't claim to know why exactly she was fired. I'm just claiming that Jeff's objection to her paper seems dubious.

And keep in mind her coauthor (Mitchell) was eventually fired. But yes, the question you ask is a good one, and I think the answer is revealing (the paper did in fact meet the bar for publication, and it was killed for political reasons, making Gebru's reactions quite reasonable!)

> she explicitly told her reports to stop the work they're doing,

No she didn't. She told them to refocus to be more effective. That's a completely reasonable! Quoting her email: "So if you would like to change things, I suggest focusing on leadership accountability and thinking through what types of pressures can also be applied from the outside."

That doesn't sound like "stop working on DEI" to me.

You are reading way too much into my comments. All I was saying that it's a common ecofascist talking point to say that the problem is the number of people, and used the link as a source to how wasteful our food production is.

Now you are trying to bend this into the most uncharitable interpretation you can think of. In addition you're also just completely making up what I think. Sorry but I'm not gonna start defending your strawmans.

None, it's just an extension.

Which is part of what is so awesome about PostgreSQL, everyone can build extensions that look and feel native and can do almost anything.
What i'd like to see is a job that lets me work part time and be super flexible about it.
E.g. i may be offline for 4 days and then work 7 days in a row.

Obviously it would require that i can work on things without being able to contact my colleagues at times (like weekends).

Has anyone seen such an arrangement?

> weaponizes political correctness

I'm sorry to be nitpick-y. I understand what you are saying, but to be clear: Political correctness is a weapon.

The idea is that there is a correct answer (fact), and a separate, unrelated politically advantageous answer (group approval). Following the tactic of political correctness, to any degree, is using the concept for personal gain. There is no way to be political correct without doing so in a harmful manner. Approval of this kind can only be gained by attacking a target.

"So-and-so is using explosives to destroy things." It is the design of the thing.
Time doesn't exist as an independent physical objective entity, it exists only as a measurement. Sometimes we represent that measurement with physical objects, such as with clocks or watches or in our heads (I can hold my breath for N seconds). It's no different than your height existing as a measurement, or the distance from here to the wall existing a measurement, or the distance of 10 meters existing. There are physical entities that exist within the measured space of course, the measurement entity as such does not exist (only in your head, or similar (eg in a computer), as a calculation). It's also the same as three apples and three oranges sitting on the table, and you multiply them to get the number nine - there is no new independent physical entity of nine objects created, other than the calculation as represented temporarily in your brain space (ie you're not able to manifest new tangible entities into physical reality this way, you can merely calculate and store the count as a computer by rearrangement).

This is also why time travel backwards can't happen. There is no back there to go to, there is no saved record that some omnipotent entity is keeping track of. Backwards time travel requires either a fantasy premise of time (the mistaken notion that time is a separate, independent, physical thing and not a measurement), and or a god-like creature that has infinite energy to record the location of every unit of matter at every unit of time along with the ability to reassemble all of existence back to each save point - it gets comically silly fast for a rational person, you're better off believing in ghosts and the easter bunny.

I love Proton. I use everything, Mail with 5 custom domains attached, VPN, the new Files component is turning out fantastic too, and the mobile apps are rock stable

I believe they’re on a fantastic path these days and as soon as the Drive/Files feature is out of beta and gets its own companion app they‘re going to start becoming a serious and most definitely superior competitor to Google etc
But Nier was even more interesting (formally experimental, better writing - at least in English translation, deeper characterization) and sold poorly.

I guess the lesson if you want to make an art game is to make half an art game and the other half ass.
A simple example is algorithms that compute the value of applying associative and commutative functions. For example we can sum a set of integers by nondeterministically picking and removing an element and iterating until the set is empty. Despite the large number of possible processes, the result at termination will always be the same.
Maybe he's talking about the first in the series, Nier 2010?
Yea this is true

I still love the old style keyboards - have they ever made a modern one with it? Last one (which I own and use still) that I know of is the T420
That's what I hate about it, its like a bad interactive movie. I also feel like the new Tomb Raiders focus way to much on combat and almost none on exploring.
The problem is that users usually have NO CHOICE in the matter. It's "use apps" or "don't use apps", and, actually, it's "use smartphones" or "don't use smartphones". Even where the OS gives the user some choices, users are enticed into letting at least a handful of apps get that kind of data, but the users don't understand the ramifications in the least. And lastly, while these things are disclosed in EUAs and/or other fine print, users a) never read that, b) don't understand the legalese, and/or c) don't understand the ramifications.

Apps shouldn't get data that isn't necessary to perform their function, but their function often is only to advertise to you in exchange for the least functionality possible given to you. E.g., when the app is "free".

It all sucks, but users are used to it all, have given up or never understood in the first place, and it's too late because now the big tech firms are so few and are so vulnerable to nation state arm twisting anyways that they won't fight on behalf of their users.

The ramifications of poor user choices made possible by dark patterns are what we see in TFA. It's like when someone lets <insert-app-here> see their contacts so they can more easily connect with others on that app, and then that app gets to map that user's contacts' relationships and intrude in their privacy. I'm very conscientious about the contacts sharing thing, but I've noticed my friends and acquaintances aren't, therefore I have no privacy even though I try.

In the pre-Internet era, everything we did in public was public, yes, but very little of it could possibly be gathered without expending large amounts of labor to do it. We had some privacy in public. But now everything we do in public is gathered (by many entities!) all the time, and much of what we do in private is actually done in public. Worse, we communicate much more often now, and the metadata is generally public (meaning: there's no privacy in it). Therefore we now have no privacy, in almost anything we do. Even when we're having sex in private, if our devices are in the room they can listen, and sometimes even record video of it. So we have NO privacy at all!!
I think doxxing is not just uncovering an anonymous user's real name, but any form of tying someone's real-world presence into online discussion, when it's not directly related to the discussion. Here, you were referring to an unpleasant event in the other user's real life, which they did not bring up themselves. That crosses the boundary. That user may not want that connection established here.

But I'm not the HN police, just trying to help...
I'd feel worse about it, but I've been using Firefox for the same reason for ages.

> Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos did

Elon Musk was born into an already wealthy family and failed his way upward.

Jeff Bezo's wife was already a millionaire when he started Amazon

Neither of them had "hard work" or "grit", despite the whitewashing both of them have done of their rags-to-riches story. They are where they are because of generational wealth and familial connections.
> I suspect [a sabbatical]'ll be hard to negotiate

In France (since the question was about Europe) sabbaticals are part of the Labour Law and companies must provide them.
I strongly doubt they are paired. A single conductor with earth return works as well, at half the cost.
> There was an attempt by the authors to respond to the internal criticism, but this wasn't met constructively.

Really? Because people claiming to be the reviewers at the time said that the version they reviewed was a lot worse than the final version published much later. (And that version wasn't too great either.)
Maybe it was Russian military grade.
We see a length contraction, but that aside, I've always thought of this question as super interesting.

From the POV of the photon for example, the universe is basically flat. A 2d timeless plane. From this POV, the double-slit experimental results seem much more clear, it's more intuitive that the photon can both interfere with itself and appear in just one spot, as it experiences both the number of slits and hits the screen simultaneously.

From the photon's POV, there's no 'delayed choice quantum eraser'.

I believe the main issue with this line of reasoning, that length/time contraction are instrumental to entanglement is that entanglement phenomena like the double-slit also works with larger particles that are not necessarily travelling near the speed of light.
> "why does sgd even work lol"

I find this hand a little over played.

It depends on the degree of fidelity we demand of the answer and how deep we want to go questioning the layers of answers. However, if one is happy with a LOL CATS fidelity, which suffices in many cases, we do have a good enough understanding of SGD -- change the parameters slightly in the direction that makes the system work a little bit better, rinse and repeat.

No one would be astonished that using such a system leads to better parameter settings than ones starting point, or at least not significantly worse.

Its only when we ask more questions, ask deeper questions that we get to "we do not understand why SGD works so astonishingly well"
I don't like American suburbs for me personally, but the US has tons of space and I don't understand how traffic would be better if we pushed more people into less space (with fewer streets and so on). Indeed, most big cities are famous for their congestion.

With respect to prices, these are self-regulating. If prices go up, things either get denser and/or people move elsewhere.

> Culture takes a dive.

Again, suburbs aren't my thing, but it seems really offensive/chauvinistic to imply that suburban culture is lesser than urban culture. I'm sure I'm misunderstanding, and in the spirit of charity I want to give you the opportunity to set the record straight.

> No more walking or biking when those freeways go up.

Is this intrinsic to suburbs, or is it an artifact of how suburbs were planned at the time that suburbs exploded in popularity? Can suburbs be designed to be more walkable/bikeable (I would actually be surprised if they aren't already)?

>my character will die and it will be my fault.

About that... Tomb Raider 2013 has probably the most gruesome death animations I ever encountered in video game.
It is an ambiguous term on it's own.

I didn't provide enough context to illustrate that my point was about selfishness and avoiding feelings of obligation or guilt?

I am not immune myself even though I levelled the charge. I only get through the day by generous application of denial.

If I can't avoid seeing someone hungry, then plan B is figure out a way to conclude that it is within their own power to feed themselves, and so not my problem.

Failing both of those, then I have to deal with it. I either have to share my food with them or I have to consciously decide I'm ok with keeping mine and ignore their misfortune.

Obviously, intellectually, academically, I know that the world is one big continuous stream of unbelievable tragedy, and I can't actually live even one second for myself if I were to try to treat all of that the same way I do when my own partner suffers so much as a headache. So I don't. I pretend everything is fine by arranging things so that mostly everything I see is fine, and when I see something else I mostly rationalize some sway to ignore it. I drive right by that guy standing at the intersection with the sign, etc.

I just at least try to be self aware that I'm doing that and not confuse a sanity/survival strategy, however justified and necessary, for reality.

I'm saying that a lot of people don't seem to do even that last little part.

Stewart here. I’m an all around software engineer with lots of experience wearing different hats. I’ve done fullstack, cloud dev ops, mobile, and some hardware. I’ve built multiple products from whiteboard to production, from iOS and Android apps to web apps to APIs to cloud backends, and often all of the above . I’ve more recently been jumping on projects to put in production infrastructure on AWS.

I’m currently taking contracts (insured LLC, short and long term contract), but am interested in entertaining part or full time gigs as well. Feel free to reach out for a chat.
I agree with eating what you acquire and prepare, but food waste is also a byproduct of adequate food supply, or of supersaturated food systems. It is not only an individual attitude toward food. It would be great if I could give my leftovers that are likely to go to waste to someone down the hall in my building, but they are not in a food scarce situation. In their calculus, it would be easier, and safer, to make their own dinner. There is perhaps only one person within five miles of me that is food scarce to the point that my leftovers would be useful or desirable to them. Within ten miles, there is perhaps an order of magnitude more; within twenty, two or three orders more. All the same, it would not make sense to rectify accidental waste by donating it in almost every instance when I produce accidental food waste. The transport required would make it unfeasible.

An abundance of food does self-perpetuate to the point that it becomes expendable. Well run family kitchens would likely have a positive effect on people's disposition towards food. I mill grains and bake bread, sourcing the grain supply from a well-run farm in my state, and this never fails to give me a moment to reflect on my relationship to food. It is, unfortunately, not commonplace for American households to engage with their consumption further up the supply chain than the supermarket shelf, where access is the most convenient.
