> The whole region is just potential resource to you, these countries nor people in them matter to you.

Yes, that is exactly how the superpowers view you and us (India). That is why good politicians ensure that their country doesn't get caught in the ambitions and competitions of these superpowers. (That is why India and other like minded countries started the Non-Aligned Movement - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Aligned_Movement ). Ukraine is an ideal candidate for NAM because the world powers have geostrategic interest in them. But unfortunately Ukraine's shitty and selfish politicians lack experience or vision - one sought to side with the Russian and the other decided to side with the west. Both have placed their own selfish and partisan political interest over that of their country. That is why the rest of the world doesn't really respect them and views them both as puppets of either side. This is important to understand - if Ukranian politicians are viewed as puppets of Russia or the west and seek some help from other nations, every nation has to necessarily think twice or thrice on whether this is being asked on behalf of Ukraine or the respective puppet-master (Russia or US / UK). Remember, most nations don't want to get dragged between the super powers. This is why Ukraine has been suffering with political turmoil for more than a decade now. Genuine support for Ukraine will only pour in when Ukraine has serious politicians that care more about their country than their own political interests - not when one Ukrainian leader is camped with Russia and another with NATO. That is a problem Ukraine has to solve. If your own politicians don't talk to each other, you are a nation divided.

> Divide what? Who exactly is being divided here?

Divide and rule is an old colonial political practice of weakening your opponent by creating divisions in them so that they get bogged down fighting each other. In India, for example, the British tried to keep us from uniting politically against them by pitting Hindus against muslims or upper caste against lower castes (i.e. they sought to widen the political divisions in our society). Gandhi's greatest success was in preventing this and uniting us despite our divisions.

In modern times, the US and allies use their economic and military might to create situations so that potential rivals do not unite and become stronger - like pitting Saudi Arabia against Iran or Israel against the Arabs in the middle-east or pitting India, Pakistan, China, Russia, Japan, Korea in Asia, or pitting the countries in South America or Africa. To a lesser extent (lesser because the US needs them) this also happens in Europe by pitting France, Germany, UK but for now it is more focused on pitting Europe against Russia. If the US and UK manage to create another bloc in Europe comprising of central european and Balkan countries, it would really weaken EU too (that would imply there are serious differences between Germany and France vs UK and US on how to deal with the Russians).

Let’s establish the fact. Nobody knows what the consequences will be. But overpopulation won’t be The outcome. Developed countries have a population die-off problem. In the US the birth rate has plummeted since the 70s and we are way below replacement. We desperately need more people.

Tens of thousands of people die in car accidents alone every year. The geriatric population is exploding and we can’t take care of all of them. We need a cure for the disease of aging.
Most of Clubhouse was a vacuum of hot garbage, but this medium _can_ be great.

It was interesting to experience a really great example of social audio -- as a guest on a "show" for blind and low vision podcasters. The perfect use of the perfect medium, I think.

The differentiator was the work and preparation done by the host. But that doesn't make this a completely new medium -- all of the traditional elements of a live radio programme were there; a great host (who keeps things moving), organised guests in advance, and a community with Q&As from the audience members.

What was new was the tooling, and the ability for such an extensive show to be made in software and operated by one person (and a blind one at that).

Show HN: ZetaMerge – New add-on for merging Google Sheet data into Google Docs
It’s a standard notice of breach, Twitter has a de facto 30 days to respond. I would also point out, this letter follows the original request by 30 days.

I think characterizing Musk’s request for Twitter to substantiate what they have placed in the public record with some actual methodology not fluff as “overinflated” is kinda unreasonable given we all already know their stats are full of shit to begin with.
Multiple places to refute the core logic:

The asteroid has to be checked by a human (or AI) part is incorrect because a computer AI that's checking just images or data can't (yet) call a team of astronomers to focus telescopes somewhere and double check it. That part would almost nearly require general AI. Yes, someone could write a single-use software that tells a bunch of astronomers to check something that AI has found, but that's NOT "the AI" doing that.

Humans don't have "training data" they have something else. I don't think "training data" and that "something else" is the same (yet).

For hourly workers, you're right.

For salaried knowledge workers (probably most of us here), I think this would be a big deal. That's because a typical day usually lasts until one of two conditions are met:

1) All of the organizational needs are met

2) I've got no more gas in the tank

There's no question that days on average would be longer as condition #1 would become less frequent and condition #2 more frequent, but I'm very confident that on the whole it would end up being fewer hours worked, because I'm already hitting condition #2 on a regular basis.

Not to mention that having three days off would do a lot to fight burnout.

If your oven can give you a fatal dose of anything in seconds, I recommend replacing it ASAP.

Sticking your hand in a food-grade oven will not give you burns. When you touch the insides, you will receive second degree burns, but those burns are not going to be fatal. On top of that, the oven can be turned off, and is completely safe to handle in that state. and the oven will need to be state.

Comparing your oven with spent fuel rods is ridiculous (assuming you are referring to a food-grade oven operated on gas or electricity).

This brings back memories to me. Almost exactly 2 decades ago a related theorem, prime factorisation being in P, was proved by a couple of undergrads working with a professor in IIT Kanpur, India [1]. The story and the sensation it caused is still fresh in my memory because I had just begun my post-graduation studies in another IIT (IIT Bombay). There was sort of a festival atmosphere in the campus; with all sorts of seminars arranged, discussion groups and what not.

To this day I have not tried to understand the paper; just that it was hailed as one of the shortest and most elegant proofs.

That's a nice little take to hide the fact we can't build or run anything as competently as we used to do. Our trains aren't the fastest, or haul the most commuters, or the most extensive, or the safest, but we sure do haul some tonnage of coal. FYI 70% of goods, ie cargo, in the US are transported by trucks. Our trains suck in the US and need massive investments to become more relevant.

Indeed. Silly to call it a "trend" when they've been doing it for 20+ years.

(At least they were doing it 18 years ago at two universities I attended).
It's pretty clear to me that when liquidity runs rampant, valuation doesn't matter, instead momentum and herding take over. How else do you justify a 400% increase in ARKK and a collapse that occurred inline with fiscal and monetary stimulus.
> It’s like saying your car’s gas gauge doesn’t tell you anything about how far you can drive, just how much gas you have in the tank.

People have direct experience with the movement of their gas gauge and the distance they travel. They come to know directly that a certain point on the gauge represents a certain available distance to travel. They don't need to know anything about how the gas interacts with the air, and eventually ends up involved in a combustion reaction.

There's no such direct experience with CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and heating. And atmospheric temperature is wildly variable on day to day time scales so it's impossible to make such a simple, direct, one to one association between them.

You expect most people to have this particular grasp of high school level chemistry (and physics, I'd say), to the point where the interaction between CO2 and infrared radiation is accepted and internalized so well that one can directly jump from a graph of CO2 concentration to a conclusion about atmospheric heating. I'd say you're intentionally over simplifying. You have a conclusion you've come to, and you just expect others to accept it based on your point of view and your experience.
> But in case of a linked list that large amount of memory doesn't have to be contigous

True! Though in rare cases where that becomes a problem, you are probably better off doing a hybrid solution where you store the data in a relatively small number of chunks or pages. If you have so much data that you are having trouble getting a contiguous allocation, you probably also can't afford the overhead of an additional pointer for each element, which is what a linked list would give you.

> you don't have to perform a lot of copying all at once which kills responsiveness.

I believe there are ArrayList implementations that distribute the copy across a series of operations to mitigate this, but, yes, latency can be an issue for some use cases. (In general, though, my experience is that people overestimate how long it takes to copy a contiguous block of memory.)

There are certain questions that are so stubbornly elusive to science (as the study of nature), that they should feel by now to belong to the realm of philosophy (e.g matter, consciousness, mathematics, an infinite universe). The study of life itself, not its manifestation in nature, has so far displayed all those fleeting qualities.

But I guess science is stubborn too, so let's see where we get.
To those interested in the blackbird, the museum of flight had a series of panels on their youtube channel, including actuals sr71 pilots and mechanics [1]

Lots of more minor annecdotes (including a brown pants one). One thing I learned is that the idea that the sr71 flew faster than anti-air missiles is a misconception. But the missiles at the time couldn't be reprogrammed once launched, so what made it safe is that because the sr71 flies so fast and so high, between the time the missile is launched and the time the missile reaches the expected sr71 position and altitude, the sr71 will have had time to change course and be far away.

Testing is to ensure your code functions the way external users expect it to. There's a reason SQLite has an extremely robust test suite even if their code is great.

Testing that the internal interfaces / abstractions in your system is less important - which I believe is what you're getting at. Those tests are definitely echoes of the implementations. Often they're for other developers.

I am a bit disappointed that discussions of audio based social media is basically limited to Clubhouse. Personally I really enjoyed using Dialup. I joined in ~2019 and it was a great place to have real conversations with total strangers. During the quarantines it was one of the best windows I had into the broader world.

Having an intimate conversation with a total stranger is a totally novel form of human interaction and I personally had a lot of good experiences with the service, even though it received none of the massive VC backed hype and media accolades. Personally I think that the problem with clubhouse and its competitor clones is more about how they structured conversations and less about social audio as a medium.

For those who don't know, here's some background on Dantzig:

"During his first year as a doctoral student at the University of California-Berkeley, Dantzig arrived late to the class of Jerzy Neyman, one of the great founders of modern statistics. On the blackboard were two problems that Dantzig assumed to be homework.

"A few days later I apologized to Neyman for taking so long to do the homework—the problems seemed harder to do than usual," Dantzig once recalled. It turned out the conundrums, which Dantzig solved, were two famous unsolved problems in statistics."

I think you are misunderstanding what old mate is saying.

The vuln is in the back of the panel because it's accepting the reset code command.
The front panel isn't vulnerable because it's not a trusted component here anyway, the bypass actually just talks directly to the back panel.

You are however correct that the front panel probably shouldn't be sending an actual reset code command, but that is really a protocol level problem not specifically a front panel issue. It's possible to make that safe by having the back panel first transition into appropriate state upon being primed with existing code or valid factory code before accepting the reset command but an even better fix is to couple both the validation of the existing code + the desired new code into a single command that is validated in one shot.
Well, then Twitter can simply close his account.
