"The dearth of Americans is even more pronounced in hot STEM fields like computer science, which serve as talent pipelines for the likes of Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft: About 64 percent of doctoral candidates and almost 68 percent in master’s programs last year were international students, according to an annual survey of American and Canadian universities by the Computing Research Association. In comparison, only about 9 percent of undergraduates in computer science were international students (perhaps, deans posit, because families are nervous about sending offspring who are barely adults across the ocean to study)."

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/03/education/edlife/american...

Note that the definition of "international student" excludes those with permanent visas. The number of foreign born PhD students is therefore significantly higher than 64%. Don't know if there are any stats for citizen/non-citizen share of PhDs though.

Hi! Are you keeping this up ? I just found it now....
Dating after the online part also sucks, where you pretend to be so busy that you can only meet once a week and only on weekdays, and you can never answer a message in under 24 hours. Don't really see how two people can start to like each other when it's so standoffish.

Who has every hour of their weekend booked? Who doesn't have two minutes to look at their phone in a whole day? It's such bullshit, this game is so exhausting and just zaps out any positive energy you get during a date.
KeyTap3 Exploit Knows What You Type Keyboard Eavesdropping
I would say that the wording used subtly implies that it is a negative thing. Using "less then a year" signals, to me, that the number is high for a short amount of time.

The article, like the NHSTA, are comparing them to other “autonomous” features of other car companies.

But the real test should be, how much safer is this than drivers not using the feature
What languages/platforms do meet this criterion? .NET, C, C++, Python? I know pretty much nothing about Windows system programming, but I wouldn't be surprised if most programming languages really are "Unix first".
The actual, non-editorialized data, along with the two actual NHTSA reports (one for level 2 driver assistance systems, one for self-driving systems in levels 3-5), are here:

* Overview: https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/initial-data-release-ad...

* Data: https://www.nhtsa.gov/node/103486

* Report on level 2 systems: https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/summary-report-standing-gener...

* Report on level 3-5 systems: https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/summary-report-standing-gener...

Going forward, the NHTSA will release data updates monthly. That's exactly what we need to judge progress with these technologies: data. Bravo!

Everyone: Let's at least skim the data and read the reports' summary conclusions before we start sharing our opinions.
"scar" consumption? Or immunize against compulsive consumption?
Out of all the new shiny low-level languages, people seem to praise its strong compile-time metaprogramming facilities. Though the compile-time execution engine in D is still a tree-walk interpreter (very bad performance/memory usage), unlike in Nim and Jai where they use a much faster bytecode interpreter for the evaluation.
No this is just the new way of doing things. COVID case numbers were notoriously absolute during the whole pandemic (in some cases govts insisted the media/dashboads only gave absolutes), which is so useless as a data point and so easy to make useful, but no...

This is the new journalism/government: we love absolutes.

It's difficult to explain, but they[1] tried very hard.

For example the electron has an electric charge but it's also like a small magnet. In an ideal elementary particle, the value of the magnet is 2 * something. In a real elementary particle the value is almost-2 * something, so they are measuring the almost-2, and it's call g [2].

For an electron, the measured value of g is

2.00231930436256(35)

, there are is an uncertainty of 0.000000000002%. The problem is that it agree with the current theoretical prediction.

The muon is very similar to an electron, but the experimental g is [3]

2.0023318416(13)

and the current theoretical prediction is

2.00233183620(86)

It's a difference of 0.000000001%. Most people will be happy with that disagreement and forget about it. But They are happy because there is a disagreement and perhaps they can use that to discover a new particle. It still may be a long lived statistical fluke, but it already survived many years. Other team claimed that there is a small error in one of the experimental numbers used in the theoretical calculation, but I'm not sure if they are genius or crackpots or something in between.

And there are many other experiments. I like for example the IceCube [4] that is just a giant chunk of ice in the Antarctica. They try to detect neutrinos from stars. It has many experiments, but in particular some experiments are useful to measure the difference of mass of the neutrinos that is a not very clear part of the Standard Model.

> BRE and ERE are the same except for small differences in when you do and don't put \ in front of certain characters

I guess I'd argue that EREs and the regex crate syntax are the same except for small differences too. :P And I'd absolutely categorize "use \b instead of \< or \>" as a pretty small difference.

In any case, yes, I agree that adding \< and \> to the regex crate is not a difficult implementation challenge. To me, it's not "can we" but "should we." Another question is whether we need to also add the negation of each of \< and \> too, to match \b and \B. (I don't know of any commonly accepted syntax for the negation of \< or \>.)
Well, there is gamification, whether you give a gold start to yourself or use an app like Habitica.

Personally, I struggle with cleaning because it's truly Sisyphean work. Always the same, never done, even if you do it the results don't last.

Games can be played whenever I feel like it, cleaning doesn't always work this way. A visit from the in-laws make it a chore, and my brain can't really let go of that label for some reason.

Some work comes with physical discomfort: I don't think I'll ever feel like picking strawberries in the burning sun for too long.
Discovering and reporting these flaws is proactive defense.
It would make sense to more resources to other fields.

But institutions don't tend to dismantle themselves, so I expect a few decades of "we might find something soon!" until the leaders have retired.
Autopilot is just adaptive cruise control which most cars have now a days (depending on trim level). Do they mean full self driving?

Unpacking was fun not because of the mundane chore but b/c the chore was telling a story through the environment of the house and the items unpacked.

True! I mow my lawn with a push mower for the exercise. Neighbours think I’m nuts. I have toyed with getting a scythe but I have pets and the unthinkable could happen.
This perspective is far from universal. Obviously, HN readers are a super-technical strata of society, and people here have little trouble understanding the concept and usage of cryptocurrency. The vast majority of the general population is nowhere near this level of technical proficiency. Just downloading and installing a software is firmly out of grasp for lots of people, probably more than half of them if I had to guess.
> They're not all equally supported, though. Most of them can can boot, many have Wi-Fi support, but currently just two actual phones work as phones: the open-source hardware PinePhone and the Purism Librem 5.

And very little will change until something is done at legislation level: companies declaring a device obsolete, withdrawing it from market, or ending its support, should be forced to publish at least the bare minimum information necessary to allow the creation of drivers and functioning software; nobody is asking them to surrender all their IP.
PostMarketOS and other projects are a wonderful effort, but they can't keep the pace of the absurd number of perfectly good devices that are thrown away each year because their manufacturers didn't want them to be reused. This practice encourages bad habits from users contributing to pollution, and it's more a political issue than a technical one.

It is possible for a well-trained human to swim the distance. In fact, it is possible to just see there is something across the north sea, if you are standing in the right place with the right weather.

I see no reason why someone can't end up in Brittain just by accidentally falling in the north sea and maybe clinging to whatever floats around. You'd have to be lucky, but there is a lot of time to be lucky in (seen from the point of humanity of course, not from the individual dropping in the sea).

For the question: why would they want to do it, that's even more easy. Because they could. That has been plenty of reason for some adventurous people, always.
If you need support for Internet Explorer then I got the best solution for your problem:

It does seem like there should be some happy medium between this and Tesla's policy of not counting it as an Autopilot crash if it disengages one second before impact.
Who says that they managed it?
I went from Google Talk to Hangouts to no Google Services aside from Play store, kept only because of Android devices...

Well, `sudo` is a *nix binary, so Linux and macOS are your most popular options here.

Fingerprint authentication for sudo was enabled by default on my Manjaro install after I enrolled a fingerprint so I guess popular Linux distributions configure it automatically. If yours doesn't, try the configuration methods on this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/fprint or here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1015416/use-fingerprint-auth... or consult your operating system's documentation.

The big difference is that you need "pam_fprintd.so" instead of "pam_tid". On Ubuntu (or derived, probably), running "sudo pam-auth-update" will allow you to configure fingerprint authentication without needing to manually edit system files.

Do note that if you use a more exotic window manager, any fancy visual sudo prompts may not know how to deal with such a system. I don't know how gksudo and i3 work together on this, as visual sudo tools often try to block access to other windows.

If you're on Windows and want WSL with Windows Hello, there's this tool: https://github.com/nullpo-head/WSL-Hello-sudo which is a PAM library that will call into Windows Hello from WSL. Windows Hello should in turn support your fingerprint reader or other biometric authentication system configured for your PC.
I'm guilty of doing everything you've mentioned as well, for the same reasons, but this especially:

>I'm afraid to make investments fearing that the market could crash the second I enter, and erase my money, leaving me vulnerable to being homeless or dependent on doing shitty jobs I hate just to stay afloat, so I just hoard cash like an idiot as that makes me feels safe and lets me sleep well at night.

I am terrified I won't have money when I need it, worried it won't be there or accessible. I've learned over time that there is no amount of money in my savings account that can alleviate this.

When I was a kid there was never enough money and disaster was one unexpected bill away. As an adult I know that's not true of my situation now, but I am incapable of getting out of that mindset.

I think SIKE was just chosen because of its relevance, not because it has any particular issues that make it more susceptible. I'd be curious to hear from an expert on this.
> I don't think this is universally true

You can easily google it. Women rate looks as the 4th most important attribute in dating. as always, its an average, there are some vain people who only care about looks. They are by no means common or enough to make 95% of men undateable.

> And looks will always win past a certain level

pretty people who are single say the same thing about people with money. People with money say this about younger people. Turns out its never their fault, and its just something unattainble someone else has.

I guess blaming women is easier than working on yourself but that doesn't make it true.
Languages do have their respective idiomatic structure, you write JS differently than Java, and personal preferences may alter one’s decision.

But the reason I plan on going down this road is that I don’t want to program the complex business logic twice, it is quite important that both backend and frontend reliably calculate the same results.
It is much easier to handle it through a compiler that will uphold Java’s semantics, than trying to write the same thing in JS - where you might easily do float arithmetic when you didn’t intend.
Sure, but that effort is providing enormous benefits to all of humanity.
Why "inclusive?"

It's misleading because it's a number of crashes that sounds bad, but there's no way of knowing if that's true from the headline if you haven't got a bunch of car statistics memorised

A less misleading title would be "Tesla autopilot involved in 70% of driving-assistance accidents this year"

Even that is potentially misleading if Tesla autopilot represents more than 70% of driver assisted miles on the road
That's fair. My parents left the collapsing USSR with nothing and ended up in Australia. Materially poor with no support network or generational wealth, but well educated and with a clear path to the middle class. I still think I/we were very fortunate and didn't mean to offend anyone by saying we were poor. I am well aware there are/were many people less fortunate than us.
The answer to that is easy. Any claims about stopping bots or preserving privacy are bald faced lies.

It's middlemen rolling out DRM (which has always been about control and killing competition and not about piracy) to permanently force themselves into every online transaction or interaction.

With a side benefit of completely eliminating any sort of privacy you might still have.
Because of the biological asymmetry between the sexes. A man can have thousands of children, and women can only have a small amount. It's what drives natural selection and evolution of the species. Some part of the men are supposed to get rejected.

Blockchain accounting is fairly "trustless".

Unfortunately, it takes more than accounting to run a marketplace. Many of the people involved in the crypto marketplace are also "trustless" --- as in no sensible person should trust them.

The lack of regulation leaves the crypto "marketplace" wide open to a whole range of fraud --- insider trading, pump and dump, unrestricted minting of "stable" coins that are anything but "stable", etc.,etc., --- all for fun but mostly for profit.
Which companies score well on environmental, social, and governance criteria is subjective and should not be determined by the government. The SEC should stick to enforcing proper reporting of financial results.
Schadenfreude.
You left out ecology (again, which wouldn't be funded by business and I would consider important for society).

The NSF also gets somewhat close to the others via Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, which includes anthropology/archaeology and linguistics.
How does it not count? 10 seconds doesn't seem like much time for a human not really paying attention to the road, as would probably be the case, to assess the situation and respond. Although the cutoff is at 30 seconds, I wonder what the distribution is actually like.

It's easy to optimize for physical features. Other traits would be harder to asses for algorithms.

Which Dutch universities? Just curious.

My perception was that phd students in Netherlands live quite comfortably.
Why? 10 seconds is not enough. It seems perfectly reasonable to assume Autopilot needs to do better here.
I have a few old Moto G1s that I'd love to put this on, but they have carrier-locked bootloaders, so that's out. I have a 2012 Nexus 7 that's pretty well supported, but it won't charge (or recognize the USB connection in any way), so that's out, too.
It makes a lot less sense once you realize that KDE once stood for K Desktop Environment. Trying to retcon this into the name for the organization is just wankery. Plasma is also already the name for the shell, no need to use it for the desktop environment as a whole.
FYI: there are over ~17,000 crashes per day in the US.

You could instead construct a key by appending two securely-long passphrases together (which will then go through a KDF in any good encryption software). Give each passphrase half to one person. Recombining them is as simple as typing both of them into the passphrase input in the decryption software.
I guess at the end of the day I mostly care about the overall accident rate, AP or not. Since the premise is that this kind of car will be safer, you would expect that rate to be lower.
10s is basically an eternity in car time. Pretty sure I could wake up from a nap and boot my brain enough to drive in 5s or less. A car going 80mph can stop in around 4s.

I grew up on a farm. We were always grateful and a little sad when we slaughtered an animal, and we said a prayer for it when we slaughtered it. We always did our best to make our animals comfortable while alive, and made their death as quick as possible with as little suffering as possible.

Life survives on life. Something died so that you could live today. I think about that often, and I think that growing up confronting the reality of surviving as a person by eating food that was once alive in a very immediate way helps me not take food for granted and to always be grateful for the daily sacrifices that are made so that I can live.

In my will, I have outlined that I want my body to be put into a burlap sack with no embalming fluid and be returned to earth as soon as possible after my death so that I can be part of the same chain of life for other living things. Life lives by the death of other living things. We cannot change that, but we can at least be grateful and present with that reality.
A little birdy tells me it was LockBit 2.0 ransomware. Will be very interesting to see the report.
I'm skeptical of evolutionary psychology in general but if we think about prehistory a lot of work was doing stuff that had deadlines but you could easily understand what needed to be done. You have to go out and collect a bunch of nuts and berries, and there's a deadline because you'll starve if you don't get the food, but you know the food is out there and it's just a matter of getting it. Your ancestors have lived off food from this land for thousands of years, you know you will too. Similarly for simple crafting, you need to make the clothing or the clay pot but there's no barrier to doing it, you just have to do it. In these cases you could also have a boss, that is, some person with authority directing and judging you, but it's someone you know and someone whose role you will inevitably fill.

I think the key difference in the modern world is that success is not guaranteed, for reasons that may be well out of your control, and failure is scary with unknown consequences. We can imagine a world with pretty much the same jobs and the same work, but with more security removing the intense stress people feel.
It's not disingenuous,

The whole point is "my new system reduces crashes", if it doesn't, in the bottom line, then it doesn't.
From the article...
Tesla vehicles made up nearly 70 percent of the 392 crashes involving advanced driver-assistance systems reported since last July

Do Teslas make up 70% of vehicles with advanced driver assistance?
Here's a list of cars with these systems.[1] That's a lot of models, so it certainly appears Tesla has an outsized proportion of crashes.

I played "The Sims" a lot when it came out. And so did a lot of other people I knew.

Things I did in the Sims:

* Box in one sim into a room to see how long they can survive by themselves.

* Set various sims on fire.

* Try to get sims to drown in the pool.

* Holding house parties WHILE people are drowning, to see their social scores drop at the horror of dead bodies.

* Try to "summon the clown".

* Try to kill the clown by burning its picture / effigy on top of the fireplace.

Etc. etc.

----------

"The Sims" isn't about "housework". It was about "pretend house", the same toy-houses / Poly-pocket / action figures that we kids grew up with except in video game form.

Just as I imagined fights and killing and battles with action figures as a (younger) child, the Sims offered me a "virtual" version of that, where I can play around and toy with the sims.

I wasn't completely a "Sim Sociopath" (I often made "new saves" when I was in a sociopathic mood). I also tried to reach the top of the job ladders (level 10 jobs and whatnot) and tried to make lots of money sometimes. But not always.

Sometimes, you just want to watch the world burn, and "The Sims" 100% allowed you to mess up the dollhouse's life entirely.

-------

I never got into Grand Theft Auto, but based off of what I've seen in that game... it sounds more like a sandbox game than a 3rd person adventure game. (Where simulated people act "kinda sorta" like a human with social effects, so you can mess around with the world with your own sick, twisted imagination. Or jump off a building with a motorcycle to see if you can reach the other building with enough speed (etc. etc.))
You're close. Fiat money has value when it's backed by something. The US$ is backed by the US government. It's still fiat money.
